Livin' in a Stranger's Paradise

I guess I can post this, what I probably should've posted yesterday following Lulu's elimination.

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/3/396b34bc.jpg

Prompto is all that's left of the nomination class. The remaining nominees had a pretty good run following Lenne's elimination (last time I posted this?), even getting to a position of being better than contest XXIV with Lulu's final placement exceeding Alphinaud's by two spots.

Now it's up to Prompto to at least finish 12th or better (this year's class will still statistically be by far the worst of the leftyera regardless of wherever he places)

Prompto

Did I make it

Busy at the park now but just want to give a quick thanks to all Jack savers. Longer post coming tomorrow.

@pokewars I shouldve mentioned this earlier but I forgot. Im going to a convention tomorrow. Depending on how late the round is (if there is a round), I can not guarantee Ill save Garnet. Keep this in mind.

Confirming, I'll get Seymour first tomorrow. Thanks!

Sounds good. I'll get Tifa hr 1.

I already poured out a couple of CHAOS gifs in the Discord, but condolences to arti and redrocket for losing their favorite left and to Lopen for losing his low effort CHAOS fanfic

Where will the chaotic road take y'all next?

We now have two ongoing Tifa & Seymour trades. Interesting.

Seymour is trying to find a new bride now that yuna is out.

Let's get #Seyfa trending.

Watch out, Yuffie and Garnet. Seymour is on the prowl

I guess 20 is an old maid by JRPG standards

Suddenly Seymour....is looking for hunnies

Hey now, Seymour is no womanizer. He's more of a monogamous type.

Now Cecil however....

Cecil cheated on Rosa? I don't remember that

Seymour has a type

And it's whoever can summon a Final Aeon

I'm not accusing anyone of anything, but he has been known to be flirty with all those random dancing girls. Just saying.

Bartz does the same but only as a means through which to reach pianos.

has Ritz taken a day off of killing out of respect for America

Or Chaos

i was socializing with real humans, snowball fight will come

The nerve

Snowball Fight #Jim Carrey's Attempt at a Thriller - Jack Garland

Soon after adding orphaning to her list of crimes against children, Ritz returned to the tavern she had come from, still wearing her Layle outfit. On the wall she noticed a BOUNTY poster, with her pink-haired photograph beneath it. Thank goodness she was fully incognito. She ripped the poster off the wall, reading the fine print which said "Bounty: This chick! This bounty only being offered at this particular tavern and nowhere else. Should you collect this bounty please contact PlanetoidCeiling for your reward", before stuffing it into her pocket. At least it wasn't widespread.

After sipping a virgin Mont Blanc cocktail, she decided that she could use a bit of fresh air and solitude, as her killing spree had required a bit too much socializing lately. She found a nearby snowy plain, and took off her wig, letting her pink hair spill out. Clearly she hadn't been far enough from the tavern because from behind her she heard a deep voice shout "YOU!".

She turned around and about 20m, the superior measurement system, away from her she saw a totally shredded blond-haired man wearing just a t-shirt and pants. A stranger in her paradise. Ritz was confused at what this man was doing in Smiffficia - he was wearing regular people clothing and looked more like a macho guy who secretly power bottoms in darkrooms at pride events than a Final Fantasy Character. At least he was holding a broadsword to give some benefit of the doubt. "Uh, hi, me?" Ritz replied.

"YOU ARE CHAOS!!!" exclaimed the man before he lunged at Ritz with his broadsword. Ritz was, admittedly, not prepared for this. The man wasn't wrong, she may as well be the embodiment of chaos at this point, but she just wanted a few moments to herself and wasn't 15 steps ahead like she normally was. Maybe just 4.

Ritz leapt to the side and cast a quick Conceal, rendering herself invisible to the buff as hell man who probably had a faceless Grindr profile. The man stood near where she once had been, positively seething with rage. "COME OUT CHAOS! I MUST CLAIM MY BOUNTY!" demanded the man. But in the moments that he stood there, he had lost the advantage which he never had in the first place.

The gambit was risky, but Ritz was confident in her abilities. Because she had mastered the White Mage class, one of the other classes that hadn't been explicitly mentioned yet, she cast Auto-Life on herself before drawing her bow, which removed the Conceal and revealed her location. "Over here big daddy!" she shouted, drawing the man's attention. He charged at her, and she shot some arrows, deliberately missing every single one, confusing any reader who hadn't picked up on the foreshadowing earlier in this paragraph. Before long, the man had hit Ritz with his broadsword, knocking her to the ground, killing her.

"Chaos control complete..." muttered the man, his rage finally subsiding. He picked up Ritz's body and flung her over his broad shoulders which probably wore a leather harness on certain occasions. As she was flung over his shoulder, Auto-Life kicked in and Ritz came back to life - the man carrying her oblivious to her revival. She would only have one shot at this, so she had to combine the ingredients of a few prior kills to make this one seem different enough from each of them. She cast a localized Blizzaga in her left hand, making a snowball, and imbued it with Beso Toxico before shoving it down the back of the man's t-shirt.

Because having snow put down the back of your shirt is jarring as fuck, he man recoiled and dropped Ritz to the ground. She scampered away, the man looking at her in shock partially because he couldn't believe she was still alive, and partially because god damn does getting snow put down the back of your shirt suck. "CHAOS!??!?!?!" the man yelled once again, failing to keep his composure. He took a step to chase Ritz down, but he was only able to take one step, as he had been Doomed. He fell to his knees, where he likely often was for 18A reasons, before falling to the ground, dead.

Ritz was relieved that she had survived the ordeal, but was concerned that she hadn't been as ready as she would have liked for the situation. But once again, she had succeeded. She snatched the man's wig to make sure she had yet another disguise, before making her way back to the razzle dazzlin white Corolla where Montblanc the stuffy sat in the passenger seat. This area probably wasn't safe for her given present circumstances, so she set off in a direction that can only be described as 'away from here'.

Getting snow down your back really is jarring. I had to shake tree branches at my parents' house a few years ago after an early, heavy snowfall that threatened to snap them, and oh man the snow falling down my jacket was awful.

Another good snowball kill.

SMFFFCC Card Club Match 23

Opponent: Jack Garland
Region: CHAOS
Rules: CHAOS

After locating Wakka and Lulu's orphaned son, Vidina, and dropping him off at Garden so he could be raised as a child soldier and maybe one day avenge his fallen parents, we resumed our investigation.

(It feels nice to do a good deed.)

We hadn't gone far before we were warped into a strange dimension. The atmosphere could only be described as chaotic. This was no paradise.

Before us stood a man with short dirty blond hair and dark clothing. I wasn't even sure if he registered that we were here.

"GET OVER HERE!" He yelled.

The three of us exchanged uncertain looks, but then we stepped closer to him.

"It's dangerous to go alone. Take this," he said, reaching out a hand with nothing in it.

"This fellow seems to have a few screws loose," Cid said.

"Do a barrel roll!" The man exclaimed next as he spun in circles at a high rate of speed.

"We need to find a way out of here, the sooner the better," Seifer said, arching his eyebrow at the mysterious stranger.

"Welcome to Corneria! I like swords! Welcome to Corneria! I like swords! Welcome to Corneria! I like swords!"

(Is he...stuck in a dialogue loop?)

"Sword-chucks, yo!"

"...Whatever is happening here, we won't figure a way out by just staying here with him," I said.

"I'm here to kill Chaos and play cards, and I'm all outta cards," the mysterious stranger uttered next.

"Somehow that's the most coherent thing he's said so far," Cid said. "Maybe give him some cards and go for it. What's the worst that could happen?"

(Probably something so terrible we can't even imagine it, but it doesn't look like we have any other options.)

I gave him some cards and took a handful for myself.

"What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets. But enough talk...Have at you!"

We played a quick games. The stranger's moves were completely erratic and nonsensical, which made victory a simple matter. The Tifa card was hardly necessary, but I used it anyway.

After finishing the game, we snapped back to reality, but not where we had disappeared. On the floor was the man we had just seen, but now he was dead. There was also a pool of blood that didn't appear to belong to him.

"...Did he actually manage to wound Ritz?" I asked.

"This could be a valuable clue," Seifer declared. "A DNA test could teach us something about our elusive killer if it turns out to be her blood."

We had gotten help from an unexpected source, but it could be just what we needed.

ironically leon's fics also make me want ritz to live

I mean trying to turn the audience against Ritz will only backfire against me

I ain't no dummy

i am personally loving CSI: Smiffficia

I should have had a moment where Seifer puts on nonexistent sunglasses, delivers a zinger, and then takes the sunglasses back off at the punchline as the story fades to YEAAAAAHHHHHHHH

*cuts to The Who*

We need to do a crossover into the Ace Attorney universe and have a jaded Ema Skye do the forensics.

Maybe when we do our Final Fantasy/Ace Attorney Save My crossover contest

does this mean ritz would get to have phoenix defending her

Or it'd be an AAI game with Edgeworth pursuing her

It just depends on whether she wins

i mean edgeworth prosecuting and phoenix defending don't have to be mutually exclusive!

@_Keeby thanks for telling me. For this, I'll bump Leon's trade to H1 and get Squall first, and play it by ear after that.

random.org in shambles, but 8/10 could still be a winning score for Dante if it comes through the rest of the way... 24-way tie for first place in the meantime with dropoffs in earnest starting next round.

I imagine the three that have gone out were among the least predicted, so I'd guess most (non-random) predictions are in good shape.
