#If I don't make a promise to myself I will jump the shark and do it

Can I request going to a Waterpark with the moonboys? I feel like it would be so much of fun with them

I like going to waterparks, though I'm not a great swimmer.

Steven Grant:

The one who packs everything and double checks before leaving.

Gets so many sunscreen almost one third of his bag is full of it. "I have a sensitive skin, rather cover myself in this than end up like the great lobster man"

In fact, his worries about sunburn and other skin problems keep him on a chair under an umbrella at first, but you end up luring him into the water, like the gorgeous mermaid you are at his sight.

His first reaction to seeing you in a swimsuit/bikini is going blank. He always think you're beautiful but the chance of seeing more of your skin is something he was thinking for a while since you chose to go to the waterpark and now it's happening and he cannot even think straight.

"Steven, could you help me with the sunscreen please?" you ask, offering him your back. Oh he's almost dying while just trying to hold the bottle.

He hates the concept of "swimming pool bully" and will stand before them if they bother you or a weaker person like a child.

Finds out underwater kisses can be messy but romantic <3

Marc Spector:

Seems unenthusiastic about the trip. He's, in fact, enthusiastic.

While you're arriving, he drops some basic rules of security. "Don't swim at least for a half hour after eating, put enough sunscreen, don't drink the water of the pool if possible..." "What you mean with possible, Spector?" "...Well... just don't"

Wears a pair of swimming bermuda and his sun glasses, a good amount of sunscreen and flexes before going into the water.

He can actually be very playful, if you're not a good swimmer he'll teach you a little so you don't get into trouble and also, encourages you to lose yourself and enjoy.

He likes to keep you in sight, mostly to protect you but also, because he's loving every second of your body being wet and soft. If there weren't other people in the place oh, the things he would do to you...

He knows he can get other's attention on him, specially from other women, but keeps himself near you 'cause he is, in fact, shy enough to avoid conversations with strangers (conversations that don't include an exchange of blows, I mean).

Loves every moment of this because you're with him, sharing a calmed date in an unusual place.

Jake Lockley:

He's not a swimming pool bully, he IS the reason why the concept exists (?) and you'll find this out very soon.

"Yeah, some sunscreen sounds fine but not too much" (he loves the ritual of putting each other the cream and he'll enjoy every second of it, making jokes)

Not eating and going into water right after? Who the heck believes that? He's swimming with half hotdog in his mouth yet.

Ready to fight other men by jumping from the highest place.

Encourages you to get into the slides, promising he'll keep you safe in the landing. And honestly, he tries.

Yeah, he'll try to drag you into the water against your will, going after you like a vicious shark so he can pull you into a kiss.

Of course he has this super sl*tty swimsuit he must cover because the lifesavers warn him he cannot wear it. "There are children here, sir" "Pues que vayan viendo de dónde vienen" ("Well they better look where they came from")

But despite his weird attitude, what matters the most to him is you being happy and having fun. He'll take a lot of pics with you in swimsuit he keeps as a very special treasure.

Let's do a Game Review because why not?

So, anybody remember Blazing Angels? It was made by Ubisoft in 2006, and featured World War 2, planes, explosions and shockingly bad and frequent racist voice acting. It was made at a time when Ubisoft noticed that Bandai Namco were reliably churning out 1 Ace Combat game per year and making good money doing it, so they said "we need some airplane games like those people." So they set themselves up with a studio in Romania that would have the job of making Ace Combat competitors. Ubisoft Bucharest turned out a total of 4 games (Blazing Angels, Blazing Angels 2, Tom Clancy's Hawx, and Tom Clancy's Hawx 2) before roughly 2010 when Ubisoft as a whole decided to give up on competing with Ace Combat, as Ace Combat wasn't earning a huge amount of money anyway. Ubisoft Bucharest was then closed, and Ubisoft has yet to make any arcade air combat games since then. That being said, I still enjoy playing it from time to time, because I can make things go boom in an exuberant manner, and shoot down hoards of axis planes.

I first played it in 2008 when I got my first console , and my memories on the whole were and are largely positive in spite of the game's failings. My friends and I would whither away hours playing the various co-op modes, particularly onslaught, which is essentially a competitive hoard mode, pitting the players against an endless supply of enemy aircraft for a set period of time to see who could rack up the most kills for the fewest losses. Insanity can ensue if you set the time limit to 30 minutes and select the Spitfire IX, which is stupidly overpowered, and come out the other end having shot down 331 enemy aircraft, and being able to gloat over your less experienced buddies who don't have their own copies of Blazing Angels to build up their skills.

At the time, I remember the back of the game's case showing an advertisement for Blazing Angels 2: Secret Missions of World War 2, complete with cover art depicting a de Havilland Vampire being pursued by a Horton Ho 229, and I thought to myself "looks neat, might get that some day."

High School came and went and I never played the sequel. Time passed, and now the tired 30 year old shell of the young, spry, and charismatic young man decided to buy himself a copy on a whim one day.

So, having heard Japanese pilots saying "You shoot even worse than you fly!" in the voice a 1950s cartoon would have given to any character from Asia a good ten billion times, you are probably wondering: Did they fix the shitty voice acting?

Yes they did. It's not Witcher 3 or anything but you don't want to grab a pencil and forcefully puncture your own ear drums. Baddies generally speak German or Japanese in a manner that seems comparable to, you know, real human speech, rather than say, your racist uncle doing baddy character voices while reading a bedtime story about how the badass Americans blew the squinty eyed Japs to Kingdom Come for being the evil, treacherous bastards they are. So Hooray!

Also, the graphics have gotten an upgrade and generally look cleaner, brighter, and better textured than those of the first game, and just to put a cherry on top, the game has a fun, campy story with a reasonably entertaining cast of characters, even if it does jump the shark from time to time.

Gameplay sees a bunch of updates as well. First off, the player can choose from a selection of aircraft for each level of the single player campaign, a feature that the first game lacks. Second off, through getting kills and completing objectives during each level, the player earns points which can be used to purchase upgrades for the next level, improving the firepower, protection, and speed of all their planes.

So, improvements all around! Go buy the game and have fun right?

Wrong.

This game is perpetually frustrating, though you will keep returning to it like some abused lover seeing the promise the game has. You think to yourself "Well, next level will be better!" over and over and over again. So, where to begin with the game's failings.

Let's suppose you're in a dogfight, and you have a mission objective of, I don't know, escorting your buddies as they escape from a secret Nazi air base. You have to shoot down enemy planes, so, using your understanding of literally every other arcade air combat game you have ever played, you open fire with your machine guns.

Hah, rookie mistake. In Blazing Angels 2, your primary weapon generally sucks. You generally have to chew on enemies for a while to kill them using just your machine guns, and oh, by the way, literally every single plane in the game has the same crappy machine guns as its primary weapon. Instead of having the fun diversity of firepower present in the aircraft of the first game, planes will have 2 or 4 light or heavy machine guns, pretty much never corresponding to the total number of guns on the real aircraft they represent. Flying a Spitfire mark V? 2 machine guns. Flying a Mosquito? 4 machine guns. An IL-2 Sturmovick? 2 heavy machine guns. An Me-262? 2 heavy machine guns. A Lavochkin La-7? 4 machine guns which are wing-mounted for some reason. The major difference between heavy and light MGs, in case your wondering, is that yes, heavy MGs do put out more damage, but overheat after extended firing. And the damage output is still nowhere near as high as that of the hard hitting planes of the first game.

Really, the weapons you have that are worth a damn are pretty much always your secondary armament. Many varieties of secondary weapons are present, such as cannon, high velocity cannon, rockets, missiles, bombs and torpedoes. All of these have limited ammo, which can be replenished by killing enemies with ammunition icons above them. These guys are really what your normal guns are for, getting more ammo for your secondary weapon.

This is very irritating, because whenever you think of a World War 2 dogfight, even in a campy story involving Nazi rocket ships, planes are shooting each other down by rata-tat-tating away at each other with gunfire, not firing anti-tank rockets, or bizarrely slow firing cannon. It just feels "wrong".

The game's control scheme is more or less the same as it was in the first game, but either my skills have degraded to total uselessness, or they've made aiming just a little bit more difficult. And I would like to call attention to the overall weirdness of the Blazing Angels control scheme in general.

In most air combat arcade games that use a controller, there will be 2 option for your controls. In what is often referred to as the "classic" or "arcade" control scheme, 1 control stick will control practically all motion for the plane, and rolling and turning will be rolled into one. Move the analogue stick to the right, and the plane will roll 90 degrees and then turn to the right, and vice versa. In what is often called the "advanced" or "expert" control scheme, the controls more closely correspond to those of a real plane, with separate yaw, roll, and pitch controls.

For whatever reason, both Blazing Angels games try to have both control schemes at the same time. On the Xbox 360 (I don't have a playstation) the left analogue stick behaves like it would in an "arcade" layout, moving the plane up, down, left, and right, but the plane still has roll control from the right analogue stick. If you've been playing Ace Combat 7, or Project Wingman, or IL-2 Sturmovick Birds of Prey (a fantastic and criminally underrated console air combat game btw), you easily forget what kind of control scheme the game has, and you'll have a lot of trouble orienting your plane. It will also result in weirdness like your plane turning very tightly without rolling at all.

Lastly, there's the single player campaign. I haven't played multi-player, given that I have no-one to play it with, and frankly, I don't enjoy the game enough right now to want to play it with someone else. If I could describe the difficulty curve in this game in one word, it would be "punishing", then again you can take my words with a grain of salt because as I said before, I may just suck. That being said, the game gives a couple levels in which you can orient yourself, then immediately flings you into the deep end. The difficulty curve feels quite steep, because most of the time you are fighting against either a punishingly short time limit or defending a target that needs protection and has a very short life expectancy. When that isn't the objective, the new objective is frequently: suppress the defenses of an enemy airfield, land there, abandon the plane you started with for an enemy plane, and then use that plane to complete the next objective. Often times, the plane that you start out with on missions that follow this pattern frequently would have achieved objective #2 just fine, but the game wants to stick you in a JU-88 or a Kyushu J-7W Shinden so just shut up and accept that you only got 3 minutes to fly the Pe-2 or De Havilland Mosquito, just say goodbye to them. Another odd feature, and one that kind of bothers me to be honest is that I would say a majority of the missions in the campaign feature the player flying a captured axis plane by default, and often for no given reason. For example... you have to defend San Fransisco from a combined Nazi-Japanese submarine attack using V-1s and submarine launched MXY-7 Okka suicide planes using an Me-163 Komet rocket fighter which just so happens to have guided air to air missiles. Hang on a minute, a level that involves what now? If you have a story about some pilots carrying out secret missions in remote areas to stop some strange secret weapon from being used or constructed and then say, destroying the paperwork afterword to keep anyone from knowing these missions ever happened, that's one thing, but if there was a giant aerial assault on fucking San Fransisco in broad fucking daylight in front of like 2 million people, I'm pretty sure it would be hard to hide something like that. Isn't that stretching plausibility a little too far? Or did World War 2 look very different in this world?

Some games give you challenge with each level, but leave you wanting more as your skills improve, enticing you with their plot, or giving your work payoff at the end of each level. Others just seem to hit you with a sledgehammer, and you only persevere out a grim determination not to be beaten. This is one of those.

Also, I've noticed its getting difficult to get your hands on original Xbox-360 controllers nowadays, so I find myself shackled to a knockoff which has the most irritating habit of switching itself off if below 3/4ths battery, and subjected to heavy vibration. Another odd feature of the Blazing Angels games is that their level of controller vibration is unusually high. Like, vagina havers could use the controller as an effective sex toy while playing either of these games, and I suppose if you are a determined enough deal hunter, buying a used Xbox 360, controller and copy of Blazing Angels might just be cheaper than a hitachi vibrator, although the hitachi admittedly doesn't use batteries, and either Blazing Angels games will eat the battery of your controller like a motherfucker.

So, if you want a plane game that turns your controller into a sex toy, I suppose you can buy Blazing Angels 2. Otherwise, I wouldn't really recommend it.

RP meme from Scream Queens Ep 6 "Seven Minutes in Hell" (Note: Offensive content, use at own discretion)

Everyone would immediately assume the killer is me.

Are you one of those idiot savants who's heavy on the idiot, light on the savant?

I am simply a victim of my times.

Are you aware your pants are on backwards?

Then whose fault is it?

I am never talking about anything ever again!

Yeah, super sorry about what happened down there.

Why are you laughing?

What about that fit you threw down there?

You're not mad at me?

Oh, I meant everything I said about you.

I still think you're useless. I'm just not sad about it.

You never, ever want to be the boss in a time of extreme crisis.

As soon as you become the boss, you get a target on your back, from the feds, the other families, ambitious underlings.

Sure, seems like you have all the power, but you also take on the most risk.

Oh, don't judge me for trying to stay alive.

Do not give an inch.

What's your game here?

I trust you about as far as I can throw you.

I know we don't know who the killer is, but we know it traces back to this house.

There are two things that always happen at a slumber party; someone experiments with lesbianism and secrets are revealed.

We can create situations and scenarios to really prime the pump.

We'll lock everybody up overnight, and we're bound to find out something.

A slumber party sounds fun.

Let's play spin the bottle.

Someone always goes lesbian.

We're playing spin the damn bottle.

Why spin the bottle?

That is not a nasty rumor. That is a true rumor.

So I propose a panty raid.

You taste like wax.

I guess we have to kiss.

You're a great kisser.

Was I interrupting you?

I was just practicing looking disinterested.

I'm pretty sure I was born without that part of the brain that actually feels stuff.

We have so much in common.

I'm starting to think we have something very important and specific in common.

My sex life up until this point is what you'd call unusual.

I think the only way to be sure of your feelings is if you let me gently rub your uterus right now.

When I love someone, it drives them insane.

Believe me when I say that if it was possible for me to feel anything I would totally be crying right now.

That doesn't seem healthy.

All the doors are locked solid. Windows, too. Upstairs and down.

I decided to have the whole house turned into a panic room.

But wait, doesn't that mean that there's some sort of switch somewhere to deactivate it?

I hate being trapped in small places.

There's only one reason why the killer would do something like this-- to pick us off one by one.

Guess it's just a matter of time before one of us or all of us ends up dead.

You have to help us.

Look, I'm prepared to say I'm sorry I did that.

What I'm not prepared to do is say the sex was bad.

Yeah. I'm not gonna apologize for that one.

I'm about to get murdered, so can you please just hang up and get over here?

How on earth are we supposed to get in if all the doors and windows are locked?

Dude, we climb up the ladder, break the windows upstairs, save all the girls, climb back down, then it's vagina city for all of us.

Why would you bomb-proof upstairs windows? For what, like, a flying bomb?

Don't be an idiot.

It's hero time.

Save me and I'm yours forever.

I'm not really sure I'm ready for that level of commitment.

Break the glass!

Stand back, fair maiden.

Give him the dignity of watching him die.

Someone in this house definitely knows who the killer is.

It's truth or dare time.

Whatever it takes to stop the douche that's trying to kill everybody.

I mean, do you ever just stop and ask yourself if we can actually pull this off?

Maybe we all just need to get out of here.

The best way to avoid a shark attack is to not go in the water.

We all have a crisis of faith sometimes.

Maybe you're hiding something.

I'd pick truth and then just lie.

If you want to lie, you can just pick dare.

That's the whole point of truth or dare. You can't lie.

Does your vagina have teeth?

I'm not lying.

My vagina doesn't have teeth.

Does your vagina still have teeth?

So it used to have teeth, but you got them removed?

So your vagina still has teeth.

Sounds like you're trapped in a web of lies.

You're forfeiting your turn, bitch.

Okay, I guess it's my turn, then.

You promised you wouldn't tell.

Sorry. I had to tell the truth.

Of course you're the killer.

I propose we take a little break, You know, take a whiz, get a refill.

You know what? I'm sorry. I'm sorry I ever trusted you.

I wanted to talk about the other thing you said, about how you thought you had feelings for me.

The only feelings I have for you now are rage and pissed offedness.

Now go sit in that bathtub and think about what you've done. And try not to rub one out, okay?

Come on! I said I was sorry!

If anybody's down here, please don't jump out at me.

Is that blood?

Wait. If you're gonna kill me, at least show me who you are first.

I knew it. I knew it was you.

Please. You don't have to do this. I could help you.

There's never any food in there. Just laxatives.

I got the impression that you and I are on the verge of being the next "it" couple.

See, this is the problem with texting, you know? You can't hear the context.

Even though I decided to not wear a bra, you haven't been staring at my shirt raisins once.

Okay, look, I was waiting to talk to you about this 'cause secretly I was hoping you'd be killed and I wouldn't have to hurt your feelings.

I just don't think it would work out with us.

You're nuts, and not like a typical crazy-eyes co-ed, but wake-up-with-my penis-in-a-jar lunatic.

I love space mountain. Best ride at Disneyland. But I love my penis more.

Number one-- I never take second place. And number two-- I don't stop till I get what I want.

Was that salad spinner hitting on you?

I am super turned on from her, and I need some sweet release.

Is there any, like, Crisco or cooking oil here? Just, like, dry handies bum me out.

I propose we treat ourselves to a little heaven. Seven minutes in heaven.

Whatever your plan was, it isn't working.

Would you like to pat the little man in the canoe?

I want to take our relationship to the next level.

I want us to be together, but I want it to mean something.

I love boning girls all over this great land. But really, at the end of the day, I just kind of want to bone one girl. Like, that one special girl.

I just didn't think that girl was you. Because, obviously, there's so much wrong with you.

Will you get back together with me?

I would consider taking you back under one condition.

You have to pinky-pledge that you will be monogamous to me.

You will not have sex with anyone else. Do you understand me?

Dude, she looks like prepackaged meat from the supermarket.

Oh, god, has someone checked on the kids?

Pretty convenient that you're the one who found the body.

You're the darkest bitch of them all.

Those are some serious accusations, and they make no sense.

I would be opening myself up to a lot of trouble if I were to turn you in to the authorities.

It doesn't do any of us any good to start accusing each other with no evidence.

I suggest that we just have someone stand guard and watch me for the rest of the night, or until someone else dies, therefore proving that I am not the killer.

This feels so good.

I tried to scream, but nothing came out!

Interesting. That's all I'm gonna say. Interesting.

There is a trapdoor with, like, a tunnel system.

But wait, there are secret tunnels in this house perfect for a killer to use, and you neglected to tell us?

That's a little suspicious.

We are losing sight of the big picture here.

I'm not going down there. I do not dig on cobwebs, and I'm guessing there are loads of cobwebs down there.

If you get murdered in those tunnels, I promise I will never bang anyone harder than I banged you.

You're so rich and hot.

These are the nicest secret tunnels I've ever seen.

Wow. What amazing legacies they all have. What do you think ours will be?

If we can get through this year without everyone getting killed, I think we'll go down as the greatest of them all.

You came back for me.

Purely selfish.

You are probably the worst cop ever.

Wait, where are we going?

I won't go!

In three seconds, I'm gonna pick you up and carry you out of here.

I just kind of came over here because I farted over there and it smelled bad.

Wait, you're a lesbian?

Basically, I'm in love with love.

The next time I feel love for someone, I'm going to tell them. Right away. Just in case they're murdered before I can.

I just feel like I'm never gonna find a guy who likes me.

I'm a freak.

Nobody actually likes me.

You are totally gonna find another guy.

They're custom-made pink nunchaku.

Thank you for making that announcement that no one cared about.

No slumber party is finished without a kickass dance party.

This is so wonderfully random.

What a great way to pretend all these people we know weren't brutally murdered.

Today I finished watching this nonsensical atrocity named Scoob. It took me several days, I kept pausing it constantly, either out of annoyance or boredom, and had to forced myself to keep watching it. I'm gonna give spoilers ahead, so, keep that in mind...

The first 10 minutes or so were promising. I really liked how they portrayed the characters as kids and how they all met... But after that the movie goes downhill and becomes mercilessly bad. A superhero story? Because we don't have enough of those right now... And trust me, I do enjoy superhero movies, but A), there are too many of those now, and B), it just doesn't fit Scooby Doo at all. Furthermore, it makes the same mistake DC movies and that horrible The Mummy reboot made, trying to build a complete cinematic universe right from the very first movie, throwing a bunch of characters and plotlines at our faces... Even if you're already familiar with all these Hanna Barbera properties, it's such a convoluted mess. It feels like Avengers when it should have been the first Iron Man... The story makes no sense either. And I know, it's not like the original Scooby Doo was a show that took itself too seriously to begin with... But this movie really, really jumps the shark and nukes the fridge... Somehow Dick Dastardly is now a full fledged super villain trying to open the literal doors of Hell using Scooby Doo, who is now the last descendant of Alexander the Great's dog... What? Seriously, what the fork???

And my personal worst offender... Simon Cowell? Really? Why??? The man stopped being relevant 15 years ago or so. It's a super weird and super dated choice for a cameo. It completely distracted me from the movie and told me not even 15 minutes into it that it was gonna be bad.

If you watched this movie and you liked it, kudos to you. But for me personally it was just a huge disappointment and I won't cry if it never gets a sequel.

Hello everyone!

It's been a while since I don't post anything.. But I found some unused dialogue from Sentinels of the Universe! 💙

They are in the game files (in Hungarian) on the prototype dated February 19, 2001. But they seem to have found more on some corrupted files date February 23, 2001 in english and an additional level!

The english dialogues are these;

Ancient City

You mock or get out, decide it!

Puffy is starving!

Rock n Roll!

The party goes on in the hell with the devil!

If you let me out, I'll comply with my three wishes!

Small wolphin, small wolphin let me out!

If you don't let me out, I'll smash your head up!

-Who wants to be released?? I could only thought of the white shark.. but that's stupid, no?

Galleon & port

Wow, a dolphin! You should have come earlier!

But I'm in good mood now, so I forgive your delay.

I know birds can't talk!

Do I look like one?

Well, for the moment, I do!

You should know, that I'm a great dolphine mage!

For a moment I hadn't taken care, and the soulrobber living in the upper lake stole my magic force, squeezing me into this feathered body.

Enough of talking! I announce a campaign!

Bring me a boat, that will take for a capital ship.

I must get to the sunken ship.

May the octopus have you killed!

Haven't I told you to bring me a boat?

I bet you're not a dolphin!

A dolphine would have understood me by now: BRING ME A BOAT!

What had I done wrong that you sent me such a stupid finner?

Boat at last! I try to get on...

Head on to the sunken ship! You are my army, so push me rapidly, like you were chased by a shark!

Quicker, Quicker! I regain my magic!

What are doing?

Move on!

Why did we stop again?

Move on to the shipwreck!

-I posted this already (poorly translated..) a while ago. These are all lines from the parrot

Ice Edge (*NEW LEVEL*)

WELCOME TO THIS FREEZING WORLD!

YOU DON'T SEEM TO BE PREPARED.

DON'T FORGET TO KEEP YOUR BODY WARM.

WE CAN HELP YOU WITH SOME IF YOU SWIM BY US.

STRANGE THINGS HAPPEN HERE

I HEARD THAT SOME CREATURES SETTLED IN THE FORBIDDEN BAY.

SOME OF OUR FRIENDS BEHAVE AWKWARD SINCE THEN.

THE GOD OF THE OCEAN WAS UPSET LAST DAY.

WE HAD NO REST BECAUSE OF THE STRONG CURRENTS.

IT WAS DANGEROUS TO BREATH EVEN BECAUSE OF THE MOVING ICE BLOCKS.

SOMETHING HAPPENED WITH THE NARWHALS, WE HEARD CRYING THEM ALL NIGHT.

YOU LOOK FOR THE ALIENS?

BE CAREFUL WE HEARD SCARY THINGS. THOSE BEAR THREAT US.

THAT PATH WAS THE ACCESS TO THE GLACIER LAKE.

THE NARWHALS HAVE MAGICAL POWER.

THEY MAY HELP YOU BUT THEY ARE BUSY WITH THEIR POD.

THE ONLY WAY OUT FROM HERE IS THRU THE BEARS.

I KNOW, TRY TO USE YOUR SPECIAL ABILITIES!

YOU LOOK TO BE ABLE TO SWIM FASTER AGAINST THE CURRENT THAN WE ARE.

IF YOU CAN MANAGE TO NOT BEING SEEN BY THEM YOU CAN ESCAPE!

I CANNOT HELP YOU

I NEED TO HELP TO ESCAPE FROM THE ICE TO MY POD.

THEY ARE THERE SINCE IN COLD SINCE THE YESTERDAY.

THE GAPS ARE TOO FAR,

THEY CAN'T SWIM THRU WITH ONE AIR.

THE WATER IS WARM HERE.

THIS IS WHERE WE LIVE.

THEY WON'T SURVIVE IN THAT COLD FOR LONG.

THANK YOU, I WILL NEVER FORGET YOUR HELP.

LET ME CREATE THIS FROM YOUR MEMORY, AS A GIFT.

YOU WILL FIND OTHERS ON YOUR WAY,

TOO THANK YOU YOUNG DOLPHIN, YOU MUST KNOW THAT I ATTACKED YOU BECAUSE OF THAT THING.

THERE IS ANOTHER LAKE CONTAINING MORE OF THESE STRANGE CREATURES.

I HATE THEM BUT JOIN TO HELP YOU. THE ONLY WAY IS TO SLIDE DOWN.

YOUR SKIN IS TOO SOFT, YOU WON'T SURVIVE IT.

THERE MUST BE ANOTHER WAY.

HOW COULD YOU DO THIS?

I SAW THAT YOU ARE SPECIAL WITH THOSE STARS ON YOUR HEAD.

THIS PLACE IS SCARY, LET'S GET OUT OF HERE.

-Now, there's a lot of info here. We don't know who is talking to Ecco, but could be whales since they say to swim near them to keep the body warm (like in Ice World/Home of Narwhals). Also mentions another place; FORBIDDEN BAY, and that some "strange creatures" are now there. Could be aliens? Maybe, since they clearly mention aliens later (so Ecco is still against the Foe?). They also mentions Narwhals for the first time. They seem to be "crying" and also have magical powers! Last lines seem (to me) to be a Narwhal talking, since It also mentions "creating something from Ecco's memory as a gift" (with magical powers? Maybe one of the powers from Defender of the Future??)

Home of Narwhals

HELP ME... I GOT STUCK BETWEEN THESE ICE BLOCKS.

THE WATER IS TOO SHALLOW AND COLD...

I AM VERY TIRED...

I CANNOT FREE MYSELF.

YOU ARE STRONG...

TRY TO MOVE THE BLOCKS TO MAKE A PATH...

THANK YOU ECCO, I SAW THAT YOU WILL MAKE IT.

NOW IT IS MY TURN, I HELP TO BREAK THROUGH THE ICE WALLS.

STAY CLOSE, I WILL KEEP YOU WARM BUT BEWARE OF MY TALE.

NOW WE HAVE TO SEPARATE, I CANNOT TRAVEL WITH YOU FURTHER.

I HEARD ONLY STRANGE WHISTLES FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN.

NO, THERE IS NO WATER PATH ONLY SNOW AND ICE.

ONCE A YOUNG ORCA MANAGED TO JUMP OVER BUT HE NEVER RETURNED.

IT HAPPENED WHEN THE GLACIER FELT.

I WILL BE GLAD WHENEVER YOU RETURN TO ME.

THIS WALL IS TOO STRONG FOR ME, I NEED YOUR HELP.

-This are dialogues from the whale that we see trapped behind the Ice blocks. He mentions a young orca that jumped over a path or mountain and never returned.

*No dialogue from Hanging Spheres has been found*

Hanging Caverns

IT'S GOOD TO SEE SOMEONE AFTER SO MANY YEARS.

MY STORY IS LONG AND BORING...

YES, THE BATS AND THE GEYSIR HAD TO BE TOUGH BUT FUN.

NOW FOLLOW ME, I SHOW YOU THE EXIT

-I wonder who could be saying this, since we see no dolphin or other creatures aside bats on this level, but could've been added later.

Atlantis

I am the lord of the bats.

I am looking for a whistle.

If you take it to me

I will reward you I am the lord of the bats.

Thank you for the whistle.

Here is the key promised.

Use it skilfully.

I am the lord of the bats.

Have you used the key deftly?

I am the hungry and lame gull.

I can't catch fish.

Thank you for the fish.

Here is the key promised.

Use it skilfully.

I am the gull fed.

Have you used the key deftly?

I am the butterfly king.

I give you this key, use it skillfully.

-There's more from this level, but just the tutorial and swimming race.

...And that's all! Still can't confirm if Ecco can travel to other worlds through the portals in Atlantis or he's still on Earth.. but seems he's still after the aliens afterall!

Hey yall! I found this fic in my drafts. Not my best,, seeing that I wrote this like forever ago. Thought I'd post.

Summary: It's a pretty normal day for the normal girl with a normal life. But something seems...well...off...

Word count: 1376

"Good morning Tikki!" I say as I get up. Today's the day! I have a bag of Adrien's favorite macaroons and my love letter for him attached.  Today's the day he will know how I feel!

I get all of my stuff together,  eat breakfast, and go to school.

I feel alone. It's like everyone's avoiding me today. Perhaps they're busy. I don't know.  Everywhere I go is pretty empty. Paris appears to be a ghost town. Is there something going on today?

I look at my phone and see the time. Oh, no! I'm gonna be late! Arrggsatyhhgf! Then I'll never be able to give my gift to Adrien!

I run. I run like my life depends on it. My legs carry me fast, and for a second I feel like Ladybug going to the rescue!

The school is in sight! Yes! I'm making it on time!

And nobody's outside?  Maybe my phone is wrong.  I don't know.  Urrg! Must. Make. It. To. Class.

I walk down the halls, wich are empty.  However,  I see that the classrooms are full. Yep. Definitely going to the principals office today.  Fudge!

I enter the classroom. The space greets me with emptiness,  and a sense of fear. Huh?

I sit at my seat, and double check my phone. Did I come here on a Saturday?

Nope. The date and time seem correct. 

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaa%gggggfddshut!" I scream as I see Alya hiding beneath her seat. My body jumps out and I hit my head against the desk across from mine.

"Aggh, Alya! Don't you know by now not to do that to me?"

She just stares, her cell phone in front of her.

"Are you filming this?"

No reply.

"Hey, where's everyone?  Is there something going on I don't know about?  " I ask her.

She stutters.  "I, um, I-I don't know "

Since when does Alya talk like that? "You ok?"

"Ummmm" she's more than afraid,  I can tell. She's betrayed.

"Alya,  whatever it is, I'll try my best to fix it"

"I don't,  I don't think you can " she says. "Just give up, please. Whatever  it is, it's not worth it"

What!

"Give up on what? "

A tear falls from her eye.

I try to hug her, but she pushes me away and runs.

Does everyone hate me today?  What did I even do?

What can I do to fix it?

Chat Noir crashes through the window.  "I found you, m'lady!"

Wait! Does he know who I am? Why the window!?

He swings his pole at me!

"Chat Noir,  what's going on?"

"Give her back,  Hawkmoth! " he beggs with the fury of a lion protecting his own.

"What!?" I dodge him, and find myself hitting him back.  Darn Ladybug reflexes. 

He knocks me down. I kick him in response. 

Why am I fighting back?  Maybe as Ladybug I could match him, but not as Marinette. 

I feel as if my actions are out of my control. Believe me,  the last thing I want is to hurt my kitty.

My arms shield me from his pole, and as we come face to face, his eyes are desperate and tired.

"Chat Noir,  whatever it is, I'm here!"

Our fight continues.

"Cataclysm! "

He swipes at my earrings,  and I dodge.

There's no way I'm not Ladybug.  My fighting is near-perfect. However,  I don't remember transforming today. 

He's trying to Cataclysm my earrings!

I force him against a whole window and attempt to grab his ring.

My reflection catches me.  In the glass, she's angry and determined,  with a black mask and glowing red spots. She's evil with a purple butterfly blinding her vision and telling her what to do.

She's me.

I'm Akumatized.

"Take his ring!" Hawkmoth naggs me.

"Go ahead " Chat Noir cries in defeat. "I want my Bugaboo back "

Reality crashes in, replacing the fantasy of a normal day, of giving macaroons to the love of my life, of being Ladybug.

I am a villain now. This is my nightmare.

"Silly kitty" I slip off his ring with a smile on my face and a giggle in my throat. 

Adrien takes his place with a flash of green light.

"There's macaroons by my desk, if you want some" my voice is cold.

"Yesssss! Finnally! " Hawkmoth celebrates in my ear.

"Yeah, yeah" I mutter in annoyance.

We agree to meet in an abandoned building outside the city, where no one will see the exchange. 

On my way, I get the strange feeling that something is following me.

I'm the most powerful Akuma! I defeated Chat Noir! I'm not afraid of anyone!

The hair raises on the back of my neck. 

Nothing is following me.

Nothing is following me?

My shadow moves.

Of course it is,  I'm moving!

No, it's not moving with me.

It says things. My shadow speaks.

It speaks in a hundred voices at once,  simultaneously giving me the creaps.

And I recognize some of them.

No. No. No! Shut up!

"Shut up!" I scream at them.

"Ladybug? "

"Ladybug? "

"Ladybug? "

"Ladybug? "

I stop and face my shadow. 

It doubles in size, no, triples, no....

I am powerless now.

It's overtaking me.

I never wanted this!

It grins at me like a possessed shark.

My heart pounds. "Who are you!"

It says nothing; it just stares at me, haunting me,  pumping something either sinister or burning,  I can't tell wich, into my bloodstream. 

I never wanted Lady Misfortune.  I'm afraid of her. I, I can't do this.

By now, the matters of my normal life have faded away from my memory, my crazed mind corrupted by an Akuma and erasing whoever I was before.

All I remember is a mission to serve Hawkmoth and this shadow that keeps following me.

I run.

My stalker chases me, faster than even my powers can make me travel.  I swing on my yoyo and it still flies after me, laughing.

I stop and rest for a moment, panting. 

To my surprise,  I don't see the shadow anymore.

That doesn't mean that horror movie music isn't playing at the back of my mind.

Something rings in my head.

It's Hawkmoth.

"You're late, Lady Misfortune "

"Almost there, sir" I reply. My steps lead me closer and closer to the meeting site.

I feel nauseous. Why do I feel nauseous?

Can I just wake up now, please? Can I wake up?

The answer pounds in my head. I can't end things, now.

I find Hawkmoth in the empty building as promised. The shadows cast through the walls with eerie beams of light crawling through the cracks.  Our figures are masked by the dark.

The shadow. I see it. It's taunting me,  and yet begging me to collapse where I stand. It's darker, much darker than the dim lighting,  like a black hole, but without the halo of light trying to escape.  It's calling me, for some reason.

"Give them to me"

Hawkmoth seems oblivious of the  dark creature.

I remove my earrings.  I am Marinette again,  but my outfit is pitch black and dark red instead of pink.

My footsteps are steady and cautious as I walk to him, unsure if I should complete the deed.

A red tear drips from my eye. My shadow stares me down, judging me.

I'm not afraid of a stupid shadow. 

I hand him the miraculous.

"Thank you" he says before deevilizing me and leaving.

I am alone.

The shadow crawls up my skin and buries itself inside my skull as I weep.

No. I'm not Ladybug.  Not anymore.

What have I done?

"WHATHAVEIDONE!" No one hears me scream.

Claw marks appear on my face, my hands scraping at my skin, trying to find the girl I was yesterday,  the girl who left me the second I was Akumatized.  My hair falls from their pink tails in defeat,  fraying in the mess.

I can't face anyone I knew.

Not Adrien or Alya or any of my friends. Not my parents. Not Tikki or Master Fu.  I don't even want to know what Hawkmoth's doing to Tikki.

And it's all my fault.

I'm not even sure of what drove me to this point.

I have cash in my pocket. I could take a bus somewhere far from here.

Maybe I could just stay here, alone.

Or maybe,  maybe there's a chance I could fix this. Maybe there's a chance I could face Hawkmoth and win.

Who would win? A madman?

Or a girl with nothing to lose?
