Nice! Peak of the series along with Super, imo.
...H-How much do you think we'll need to collectively spend on this vacation again, Azura? -Has a notepad and pen out, looking over some of their previous notes on the pricing-
Nope
Azura: "...You want a limit?"
Illya: "Well, I do happen to be one... Somehow" -she's more on the 'combat' type of instructor-So you're one of Star's magic instructors as well?
___
Specter: "Sounds like the sort of person Shovel Knight would've buried."
___
-Dealing enough damage to take her out of the fight, while also leaving her Spark intact?-
___
(I could go for some leftovers, but either way, this steak and sides were just what I needed.)
-It says a lot that Heshima isn't even being quite as reserved with his joy as usual-
___
-Before doing a cannonball?-
-Draco is viciously ramming against anyone present-
-XJ-5 flew in front of the group like a stage announcer-
XJ-5: "Ladies and gentlemen, introducing...our friends of the rebellion! Seems the one thing the Alliance wasn't counting on was a bunch of their own members putting a stop to their tyranny and villainy!"
___
-He caused a lot of damage while he was around, but neither he nor his schemes can pose a threat to anyone or anything ever again, and both Star, Chaldea and the TSAB all saw to that-
___
Most of them got wiped out before me and my friends showed up. You can thank the people who here earlier for that.
___
-Heshima didn't say anything, knowing Ata needs the moment to calm down, and simply worriedly snuggled up to her in much the same manner as a house cat-
Spooky?: "You didn't need to see all of those memories to put a stop to all of this. I just wanted to explain more of what happened...
...But you did need to see what my dad remembered that Halloween. This machine is powered by nightmares, and he's been reliving it every day since he sacrificed himself. to try and bring me back..The only way to shut this machine down...was to wake him up..."
Then that also means we needed to wake him up to destroy the barrier...
Charlotte: "..." -clapping a little-Byleth: Does she really need to make this much of a show about it...?
Sothis: Perhaps not, but it looks cool.
---
Blake: "Agreed..."
---
Azura: "Even so, it was so long ago and we had to deal with so much that some may have forgotten it..."
---
Ruby: -trying to think of a plan...-
Shez: "She really got into the spirit of things..."
-Iri or one of the other Casters explains why?-Illya: "Well, I do happen to be one... Somehow" -she's more on the 'combat' type of instructor-
---
Ereshkigal: "No need to worry though, he's gone now"
Ishtar: "Good riddance"
---
-Seemingly it does-
Airachnid: "Well now..."
---
Atalanta: "Then I'm glad to see that working out"
---
-A CANNON BALL HE DID-
Have fun on the journey to the Thousand Year Door, then.
Byleth: Does she really need to make this much of a show about it...?
Sothis: Perhaps not, but it looks cool.
---
Blake: "Agreed..."
---
Azura: "Even so, it was so long ago and we had to deal with so much that some may have forgotten it..."
---
Ruby: -trying to think of a plan...-
-XJ-5 is based on a radio and acts like a radio announcer and talk show host, so yes, she does-Charlotte: "..." -clapping a little-
---
Atalanta: "Yes... Let's keep going then" -still, relieved they got aid from the TSAB-
---
Ophanimon: "Oh, then maybe I could tell you a bit of their history"
---
-Atalanta needed it, silently thankful-
Mordred: "...Is he alive though?"
I will!Have fun on the journey to the Thousand Year Door, then.
Well, we'll d-definitely need to limit the budget at some point s-so that Ch-Chaldea can still ru, but I was more asking for an estimate...
___
-Does she ask this out loud in the presence of the others or nah?-
___
-She's not sure...
Charlotte: "..." -clapping a little-
---
Atalanta: "Yes... Let's keep going then" -still, relieved they got aid from the TSAB-
---
Ophanimon: "Oh, then maybe I could tell you a bit of their history"
---
-Atalanta needed it, silently thankful-
Mordred: "...Is he alive though?"
-HELL YEAH--XJ-5 is based on a radio and acts like a radio announcer and talk show host, so yes, she does-
XJ-5: "I'd do a role call and introduce 'em all by name, but they helped you guys even more than most of us did! I think it's only fair that they get to introduce themselves instead! What do you all say?"
___
-Considering everything from their top agents and several of their soldiers helping them fight off the Alliance, to Lindy offering them shelter on the Arthra for nearly a year, and Nanoha and Fate even directly helping defeat Toffee, they truly needed the Bureau's help with this one...-
-And as for the museum, while a lot of these spells proved unusual, it's fascinating just how many spells have benefited Mewni's society and Queens and mages in both their daily lives and battle, not to mention just how versatile the Wand itself is-
___
I'm curious!
___
Steven: "And...what else do we need to do? Even if he is still alive, how do we wake him up?"
According to the files Penny and I downloaded, he's not...and all it should've took to wake him up was sacrifice another spirit to dispel the seal and then end the nightmare itsel-
-Before anyone else could ask anymore questions, the TV static returned and clouded both the area and everyone's visions-
-Once the TV static disappeared, the whole group was once again standing in the spirit seal room. The machine used to create the barrier surrounding the mansion and assist in bringing back Spooky as a ghost was shut down, and anyone who could sense or detect the barrier's supernatural energies previously could tell that the barrier was no longer up-
Keep in mind that while HP is important, FP and BP are arguably even more important since they're collectively what allows your party to use more powerful moves, and more frequently at that.
Musashi: "Good for her, I say!"
-I thought Eclipsa was gonna be curious and ask her how so LOL--Iri or one of the other Casters explains why?-
___
Specter: "Long dead, I'm guessing?"
___
Did you really think you could still get the drop on us or our colleagues?
___
(I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your meal as well. Although, I'm not surprised either of us did.) -Looking at whichever memberes of the kitchen staff are currently on duty-
___
-Startling Dipper, while Mabel doesn't yet notice-
-How big is the splash?-
-XJ-5 is based on a radio and acts like a radio announcer and talk show host, so yes, she does-

Paris: "...D-Do we have to?"
I went in with the idea of leveling HP as little as possible, so that's fair.Keep in mind that while HP is important, FP and BP are arguably even more important since they're collectively what allows your party to use more powerful moves, and more frequently at that.
...Y-You'd really be willing to pay that much for the vacation? -Can already tell the full budget they need for the vacation is gonna be a fairly high amount-
___
Sparky: "(I'm sure they will!)"
___
Penny: "Has...Juri always been like this, Arlon?" -Referring to when she first showed up in Basel-
Shez: "Agreed." -rams into Draco-
You don't know why you were appointed as one of Star's magic instructors? Are you not knowledgeable or skilled in magecraft as well?
It can be a legit strategy, at least to cut back on grinding. The only reasons I still level HP a lot are because I'm not that good at guarding (though I'm certainly way better at it now than when I first played the game as a adolescent/teenager) and because I like having a lot of HP in every game that has HP upgrades lmao.
XJ-5: "Does anyone have a working spotlight? Or a microphone?"
Draco: "You're going down!" -tries to ram too-
Illya: "Well, it's more like I'm there to help her practice the offensive stuff..."
Ok, just got home and now I'm barely able to keep my eyes open, sorry.
So your field of expertise is more based on offense magic and combat?
It's alright, health is more important.
Illya: "I guess you could say that..."
Then you're still a mage, and you're still passing your knowledge down. I'm sure Star's learned a lot about offense spells thanks to your teachings.
Byleth: "Can't we just have a normal meet and greet?"
I'll only level HP once enemies get close to one-shotting me.
-THEY RAM EACH OTHER AND IT'S AWESOME!-
Smart strategy. It should be at least a few chapters before any enemies are that major of a problem, but in any case, good luck! TTYD's a fun but challenging RPG.I'll only level HP once enemies get close to one-shotting me.
Weiss: "Don't worry about it."
---
-perhaps she will-
---
Arlon: "Avenging her family was what drove her for her entire life. How would you feel in her place when that very purpose was stripped away?"
It's got fun combat
I played Super first and still enjoy the game, but I can't help but wonders how well the game would have done if it kept TTYD's format of turn-based combat.
XJ-5: "Does anyone have a working spotlight? Or a microphone?"
I'm pretty sure that Mettaton's not here right now...
___
-Including Ludo, although his motivation was partly just to try and earn approval from others or feel important...-
___
...Wh-What happened to him? -Also has a sneaking suspicion and worry about what became of Lucemon from her own knowledge of divine studies-
___
Amethyst: "Is that it? Did we do it...?"
-The machine being shut down wasn't the only change in the room...the group can also see a man in a lab coat sitting slumped against a wall who wasn't there before, one who appears motionless, and the dark shadow shrouding most of his face and his extremely pale and greyed out skin makes it appear as though instead of merely passing away, he seems to have had all of the life drained out of him-
![]()
-The only thing they could tell about him is that the frown on his face looked like one of regret and grief...And Spooky, not the part of her that they saw in the nightmare or memories, but rather the one and the same Spooky that co-leads GL Labs and has been leading the invasion of the town this entire Halloween, was hugging him with an uncharacteristically deeply saddened expression-
Sitonai: -Sigh- "Well, on old times I would have liked to be quite boisterous..."
Illya: -Blush- "Heheheheh, I guess you're right!"Then you're still a mage, and you're still passing your knowledge down. I'm sure Star's learned a lot about offense spells thanks to your teachings.
___
Specter: (At least these two seem to have finally reconnected, at least to an extent.)
___
One chance. Don't squander it...
-Her tone implies that she's overseen or even ordered deaths and executions before-
___
(...Should we ask?) -Curious, but also evidently just as worried as Ata is-
___
Mabel: "But I think that was still at least a 14 out of 10..."
-Also Musashi went to do the same!-
Same, honestly
-Draco getting hit a lot-
-Does Iri mean Illya or Star?-Illya: -Blush- "Heheheheh, I guess you're right!"
Irisviel: "And she'ssuch a wonderful fighter~"
---
-At least Ereshkigal isn't.... Fully alienating her, while Ishtar isn't hiding that she cares-
---
Airachnid: "...Less soft than I thought, huh..."
Slipstream: "Just answer, or your Spark is gone"
---
Atalanta:
---
Chrono:
Gameplay-wise I think it would've been awesome. Reception-wise, it would've least been way less polarizing than platformer RPG gameplay it had instead at the very least, with how Super's story is generally highly acclaimed.
XJ-5: "Where's the fun in that? Ah well, a classic every day average meet and greet still works, so fair enough, but also your loss!"
Shez: "Nah, make it a show. They deserve it!"XJ-5: "Where's the fun in that? Ah well, a classic every day average meet and greet still works, so fair enough, but also your loss!"
___
-Up next, they'd see various sculptures animated and/or partly constructed by magic from both various queens over the years as well as magically-inclined and talented artists-
-Some are basically statues repeatedly playing sports, or waving at museum-goers, although it's clear they aren't sentient as they often wave at nothing or don't respond to anything else but motion. Another is even operating a Rube Goldberg-type machine-
___
R-Rebellion? Oh no...
___
...No, that's really Spooky's dad...or, what's left of him...
-That's Spoky's father, alright... He matches the appearance of the same man they saw in the memories, and he's in the exact same room that the Spirit Seal was in and only appeared after the Spirit Seal was shut down, so there's no way anyone would've overlooked him-
I think Super Paper Mario did a fine job being what it was. The real issue is how the next game failed to do anything right.
True that. Super's still a fantastic game and Sticker Star basically failed in both gameplay and story (and a lot of the characters weren't well written, either...Doesn't help that it's also where the unique character designs started being dropped prior to Origami King).I think Super Paper Mario did a fine job being what it was.

Weiss: "...We might need multiple hotels."
---
-and train him Phosphora will-
---
-indeed...-
-the only reason Penny isn't doing anything to Neo is purely because Ruby insists that the girl has moved on and gotten better-
-...do we really need to spoiler this? pretty sure Digi and Goldie know-
I'd say Origami King was also too little too late in terms of unique designs... but yeah, deciding to make Bowser mute is still the most baffling thing for me since Mario RPGs are usually very strong in making him feel like he's more than just a monster. I blame Kersti :VTrue that. Super's still a fantastic game and Sticker Star basically failed in both gameplay and story (and a lot of the characters weren't well written, either...Doesn't help that it's also where the unique character designs started being dropped prior to Origami King).
-A slight change of plans there, but probably for the best in this case...-
___
Sparky: "(Thess training grounds are still so cool...)"
___
-If it weren't for that, Penny would've tried to kick Neo out of Chaldea with brute force the instant they got out of Remnant at best. Penny usually isn't the hateful type at all, but hurting or tormenting her friends is a good way to draw her ire in the rare exception-
-If he did, I either missed it or he might've said it on Discord-
It's still a start, and there's been a few surveys recently (although at least one was released on accident) from Nintendo asking what things want out of a Paper Mario game and unique partner and character designs based on existing races and species in the Mario and Paper Mario universes were among the questions and answers. That, along with TTYD getting a huge amount of sales even early on might be what finally convinces them to reverse their decisions and go back to using the same concept of unique character designs from the first three games. And yeah, Kersti's also a major part of the game's problem. :V
Maybe Paper Mario will even go back to being more like the older games? -coping-
I mean, it's not impossible. Even just having partners and other characters with unique designs and personalities again would be a start.Maybe Paper Mario will even go back to being more like the older games? -coping-
Azura: "Why three?"
---
Phosphy: "Oh, it'd require a lot of fancy words to explain how it works. You might not get it yet."
---
-she was just walking by anyway-
-but damn, Penny really hates her-
-But she's also hitting a lot-
-Her daughter--Does Iri mean Illya or Star?-
-Smiled at that- And also a caring mother. I'm certain she's quite proud of you, but you don't need my observations to determine that.
___
Specter: (Sounds like at least a slight improvement from the last time Rin and I spoke to Ishtar.)
-Under most circumstances, he wouldn't care, but the fact that Eresh was willing to hear out his tragic and guilt-ridden past, including Luan's death partly at his hands,
___
We'll interrogate the whole of you once we've captured the rest of your armada...
-Notably left out the fact that Tarantulas was killed, something Airachnid and every traitor besides Bludgeon may not even be aware of yet-
___
-...Maybe they should ask one of the other kitchen staff members about him instead of asking Kaito himself who he is first- :V
___
Mabel: "I still this was rigged somehow..." -Grumpy-
XJ-5: "Where's the fun in that? Ah well, a classic every day average meet and greet still works, so fair enough, but also your loss!"

Nobunaga: "I say keep them coming"Shez: "Nah, make it a show. They deserve it!"
-while Byleth and Shez may be close, their personalities are practically polar opposites and it shows here-
---
Blake: "Impressive..."
---
Palu: "The first Demon Lord..."
---
Weiss: "...To think such a tragedy started with a little girl who wanted to scare people..."
Indeed...I mean, it's not impossible. Even just having partners and other characters with unique designs and personalities again would be a start.
It still at least partly depends on how Nintendo takes all the reception and sales, though.
Alola has a l-lot of big resorts.
___
-The Pikachu is confused just trying to think about it...All he can tell is that it involves electricity and technology-
___
-After hearing about exactly what Neo did, she can't bring herself to forgive her...-
-Draco's thoughts?-
-Some of the other Casters thus introduce themselves next?--Her daughter-
Irisviel: "Awwww~ We sure do~ But let's allow others to take some spotlight~"
---
-It made him trust her even if a teeny tiny bit-
---
Airachnid: "And after that~?"
---
-Yeah, they really got a bad feeling about him-
---
Amy: "Aw, don't be a sore loser"
(Operation: get Chrono to be more like a normal teenager is a success so far!) D-Depending on which hotels we pick or are best suited for Ch-Chaldea as a whole, though, we might be able to reduce the expected total cost by a decent percentage than what it would've cost to more or less rent out just a single o-one giant hotel...
Shez: "Nah, make it a show. They deserve it!"

Palu: "The first Demon Lord..."

XJ-5: "In that case, I'll need a spotlight and a mic!"
Draco: It will be even better when I get to tear them apart for real~
Nitocris: "I am the Pharaoh Nitocris"-Some of the other Casters thus introduce themselves next?-
___
-And I'm just now noticing that I didn't finish typing out my last reply to this...**** lmao-
-But yeah, she did gain his trust by hearing out his story and not judging him for the events of it, even if he still heavily blames himself for much of them, so he's trying to help her out in return by trying to help her be more open and social with others-
___
Do we have any devices on hand that can temporarily silence her? -The wand's tractor beam usually would, but it'd be ill-advised to use it for something so mundane when they've still got enemy troops hiding in the ship-
___
___
Mabel: "Fine, fine...I gotta admit it was a pretty cool dive."
Pharaoh? Forgive me, but I'm not familiar with that title...
-to be fair he's usually on the move when he eats a lot, burning off calories almost as quickly as he consumes-???: "Yeah, the girl can't really speak."
-it's then that yet another really fancy guy shows up-
-Rita has nothing?-
---
Ingrid: "...That's beautiful... I'm sure people would not like that idea, but letting a mother without her child feels cruel, doesn't it?"
---
Kanna: "Sorry... but if you were here, maybe they're also around?"
-those things are given to XJ-5-XJ-5: "In that case, I'll need a spotlight and a mic!"
-I'm tempted to have Mettaton actually show up-
___
-Blake curious about that story or has Atalanta told her before?-
___
...Th-The Digimon who became the D-Demon Lords...
___
(Her life was cut short because of a freak accident...And she only became what she did...because of her grieving father's utter desperation to save her...)
-Jenny walks up to the lifeless corpse of Spooky's father, and spots a final note, which she picks up-
Azura: "And some people could share rooms as well."
-how heartless :V-
Including families and couples, so that a-also cuts back on pricing...
???: "Yeah, the girl can't really speak."
-it's then that yet another really fancy guy shows up-
-Mordred poked him-
-Good for Godzilla-
Nitocris: "Well, it's how the kingdom I once lived in called their higher royals. So basically, I too was a queen once"Pharaoh? Forgive me, but I'm not familiar with that title...
___
-With him usually just being more casual and to the point or aloof with most others, or outright rude or dismissive towards many others-
___
Perfect!
___
-I had to-
(...Something worries me about asking about him, but at the same time, we probably shouldn't remain in the dark about who this person is if they're new here...)
___
-Chrono smug?-
-Indeed, she's smirking like a madwoman-

-Jenny walks up to the lifeless corpse of Spooky's father, and spots a final note, which she picks up-
-As Uni saaaaaaaaaaaaid-
Really? Well, it's always an honor to meet a fellow queen.
(Is he already full?)
XJ-5: "Alright, that's more like it! So who's in the house tonight? All of Chaldea? 'Cause we've got some esteemed guests that need no further introduction! Well, actually, they do need further introduction 'cause they've never been here before, but you get the point!"
-But with Godzilla leaving...--Good for Godzilla-
-And well... Yeah, Rita doesn't has an answer to that that would be reasonable-
---
Fate: "I see, then we may need to take it for further analysis"
-Would Ingrid take that into account?-
---
Alain: "Hopefully... I hope they didn't take Kanon, Onari or Akari..."
Illya: "Friends of yours?"
-Alain nodded-
Tiki: "DO NOT TROUBLE ME!" -she said this at Queen Vanessa, as the divine energy from her Dragonstone and her own amplified while she transformed once more-
View attachment 391183
-And then, she made a more powerful Divine Breath than the usual-
