#she does already know that shulk dies but honestly that's like 5th on the list of Absolute Fuckery happening in there

We hit Agniratha today, folks! We're getting close, and it's very apparent that my roommate still believes in the Bionis as a force for good. *pained laughter*

We were fooling around with the appearances (after accidentally wiping all the appearance options on Sharla oops) and like. Ok I'll try to get the picture later but the legar II shirt with eryth I everything else looks really good as an outfit on Melia. She looks like a knight or like she's armored for war or something, it's super cool

Literally right up to the transporter she was talking about crashing into the city and being ready for resistance from the people living there and I'm just like. :(

She still loves Dickson btw. She was worried for him fighting the Mechon in the Havres at Sword Valley

"It's so sad, like I know they're destructive but they're just animals. It's just in their nature, it's not their fault they're from a bygone era and they don't have a place in it anymore." - roommate, about the fossilized Telethia, shattering my heart into a million pieces

"So is Zanza just evil? Why did he attack?" Yes.

Vanea: "[Fiora was chosen] because you are close to Shulk, the Heir to the Monado." Roommate: "Oh, so you picked her so that Meyneth wouldn't hate the Bionis anymore." Me, internally: Weeeelllll...not quite...

Ok but seriously that plot point makes barely any sense. How did they know that Fiora is close to Shulk? Did Mumkhar tell them? That's all I can think of, but even then the timeline makes no sense! Before the attack on Colony 9, Shulk was just a weapons researcher with a heavy interest in the Monado, that's all Mumkhar would've known about him when he went to the Mechonis. It requires quite the leap of logic to get from Mumkhar, for some reason, telling Vanea about who spends the most time with the Monado these days, and also explaining who his sweetheart is, to "this must be the Heir to the Monado and I need to kidnap Fiora to be Meyneth's vessel". It just doesn't make sense (although I do like the way it plays into my funny little retelling thoughts)

Wait uh Vanea just teleported. I. I forgot she could do that. Apparently. Apparently she can do that??? I'm going to chalk it up to being in Agniratha and move on

Man I don't know what is wrong with this Shulk but he's physically incapable of not drawing all the aggro all the time. He has an aggro down V gem! Stop drawing attention!

Ok well like. part of it is the arts spam. but that's not her fault hitting buttons is just fun that's why I like to play Melia and just spam elementals until things die

As we were wrapping up, we had this conversation: Roommate: "Yknow, I'm going to be sad when Alcamoth blows up." Me: aware of the Horrors Me: "Yeah, it's a good city." Roommate: "It's a good city."
