I'm Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!!!

Zee Fish izz back from purgatory... yadda yadda yadda... or something like that.

There are still some kinks to work out, like a total lack of sound, a pile of programs to reinstall and the issue of a missing Favourites Menu or two.

If the Favourites are gone I don't have faith the savegames will be found either - barring my first game of FF7 which I shipped over to My Documents when I started the second game.
Not that I care at this point, I don't think I'll mind much starting over but the Favourites Menu is an issue - I'll have to go looking through my backup CDs for my last save of them and even then I've probably lost a crapload of stuff - particularly all my FF-related links.

Bleh.

Let's just say, the last week has been boring. I suffered two cleaning fits, phoned gardensgnome three times and read aproximately three and a half books - all but one I have read before and the previously unread one is not HBP.

I also had a thought on LO, FF7 and the fate of Masamune. Did it show in the game what happened to Masamune when Cloud and Sephiroth fought in the Nibelheim reactor during the Burning? If the sword ended up going in with Seph the original game has a plothole that LO fixed but if it didn't, no plothole.

The thought is this: If Masamune was there for Hojo to pick up (in LO it was still stuck through Cloud) then when "Sephiroth" (whom I believe to be Jenova's body, transfigured to look like him and remote-controlled from his real position in the crater) went through Shin-Ra HQ (early Disk One) massacring people he merely picked it up along the way. If it fell into the Lifestream then how the hell did Seph get it???

Anyway, lots to do.

Hehe, if we want to talk about Masamune plot holes, how about the fan favourite:

If Sephiroth left Masamune stuck in the President's back, how the hell did he get it back for subsequent encounters and killing Aeris?

I can only think of two answers:

1) Dear Sephy has a whole ton of Masamunes. They're all stacked in the closet next to his ten identical leather trenchcoats.

2) He got half way away from Midgar with Jenova's body only to suddenly smack his forehead. "Sonofa... sorry, Mother, we'll have to go back, I left Masamune behind."

I'm not sure which one amuses me more. ^^

I go for a variation on 2: He hung around while Cloud was off picking a fight with Rufus and grabbed the sword afterwards. After all, what's to say he didn't leave it there just to show off his handiwork to Cloud?

coughcough or give him ideas of a sort... you know, phallic symbols and all that >.>

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

*Snerk* Good to know! ~_^

[usagivindaloo.livejournal.com]

Masamune. It's not overcompensation... it's advertisement. >.>

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

How very true!

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

On the other hand... there is also something disturbing about that, after all, his sword was stuck in President Shinra.

o.O

[usagivindaloo.livejournal.com]

... remind me to show the scans of that one President Shinra/Sephiroth doujinshi I have. >.>

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

Why does it not surprise me such a pairing has been done?

Then again, I've read a Cloud/Palmer fanfic in the past.

[usagivindaloo.livejournal.com]

Oh god. I remember that fic. It was brain breaky in all sorts of ways.

Mind you, there was also that one Palmer/Heidigger fic...


...yeah. Break brain here. >.>

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

Owie.

Can I just go hide behind the good-ol' OTP here? *Points C/S way*

[usagivindaloo.livejournal.com]

As far as I'm concerned, as long as the men are hot, it's all good. >.>

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

Absolutely! ^_^

[usagivindaloo.livejournal.com]

You know, sometimes I worry that I am a total hypocrite in that the idea of two unattractive men like Palmer and Heidigger getting it on disgusts me, while a nice scrum with Cloud, Vincent and Sephiroth will make me all fluttery. For indeed, why should Palmer and Heidigger be denied true love? Why should they not also know the fluttering of pleasure as their lover strokes their magnificent...

... alright, I can't keep a straight face anymore. Pass the SephCloud smut. XD

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

Weeeeell... I'm not against them getting it on, I just prefer not to read it! ^_^

Of course, that's much my opinion about every pairing I do not favour.

[usagivindaloo.livejournal.com]

Hehe, I'd think you'd like that fic, though, as it was a total and complete parody of every yaoi cliche in the book... heaving pearly orbs and all that stuff. It was actually hilarious. I wish I could find it again. XD

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

Hmm... probably. ^_^

[jessara40k.livejournal.com]

My theory on Masamune is that it's magically linked to Sephiroth, and he can basically summon the sword through the Lifestream.

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

Latest Chocho!Cloud update is in my memories. :)

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

I tracked it down. ^_^

[bard-linn.livejournal.com]

KK. ^.^

[nashidesei.livejournal.com]

*glomptacklehugcling* Mimi-chan is baaaaaaaaack! We missed you, you know. I was starting to worry. ;_;

^__^ But now you're back and I am a happy like a happy thing!

...And let's not talk about the Masamune. It tears plot holes in the fabirc of the universe wherever it goes. XD

[mimi-sardinia.livejournal.com]

Yes, me's back. Suffering from deafness and cripled by the loss of a Favourites menu but... :)

I'll probably have to go back and see if they can fix the sound problem though, I don't want to go through a year or two without sound again like I did a few years ago.
Hopefully they can fix that while I wait though.

Oh well, maybe that's what Masamune was made for, leaving plotholes for fanficcers to fill. ^_^
