#particularly the way she says 'try shooting it!' when ludger has guns out like. no i was going to just throw this gun at his head

Back to Xillia 2 electric boogaloo! We are now on chapter 7.

My sister put a Jude plushie on Jude's shoulder: "Mitosis."

She had already forgotten about Alvin and Leia's secret handshake from the first game. Her: "I thought they didn't get along?" Me: "I think they invented it before he shot her." Cue both of us laughing at the idea of Alvin saying "See you Leia" before pulling the trigger

Jude keeps saying "Now I have the strength to protect!" Her: "NOW you do?! What about last game?? Did Milla mean nothing to you??"

She's just as baffled as I am at the way the Xillia cast accepts that they'll have to wipe out an entire world in order to leave the fractured dimension. Like these guys were looking for a way to bring peace between two worlds AND let Gaius be AND were upset when literal villains died. How are they not bothered by comitting genocide now.

We arrived at the first fractured dimension job in Trigleph. Jude and Leia split up to gather intel while the rest of the group is supposed to take the train, but my sister wanted to look around (trying to find a Fractured Ludger in his apartment lol). Leia seemed to be talking to NPCs but Jude was just standing there. Sis: "What happened to asking questions??" Me: "He's asking philosophical questions. Like, 'Is fighting really the only way?'"

Upon finding tomatoes at the Oscore center, Ludger comments that Julius would love them and Elle says her dad likes them too. My sis: "Does Julius have a daughter I don't know about? I do NOT want to be this girl's uncle." Can't wait til she finds out Ludger's not her uncle, he's her father 😏

The cats keep coming hack empty handed (or pawed, I suppose). We think they might be unionizing to get more treats

You can't use the job board in fractured dimensions, but you CAN go shopping. Sis: "Souvenirs of the world I'm going to destroy :)"

Leia and Jude are finally starting to express some discomfort at the thought of wiping out another dimension, and Alvin stepped up to play the bad guy because he's got experience with that. Aww...

Shortly afterward we found an empty hole that betrayed and disappointed us. Sis: "Just like Alvin." Me: "Poor Alvin, he's trying so hard to be a better person and we still can't let this go."

The music in the fractured version of the Torbalan Highroad is just sad piano, not sexy saxophone. Me: "In this dimension, Alvin is a pianist."

We made it to the Chronos fight but he is a royal pain, so we gotta grind for a bit next time.
