"Oh I love how Sarah is blogging. I think Sarah should type up a little something something since I love the "intern" thing. Whatever that little something something may be, I dunno. but like an "how the hell she came up with that" kind of thing."
Well, since you asked Megan, Sarah is going to fill you all in on the little details as to this little brain child called the "Organization [XIII] Interns".
A while ago i started a fanfiction project and my fandom at the time just so happened to be Kingdom Hearts, a popular RPG (Role-Playing Game) game at the time. The game is set in a crossover like universe, where characters from popular Disney movies and Square-Enix's "Final Fantasy" series make a living. You play as Sora and travel to the games variety of familiar Disney worlds, such as Alice in Wonderland, Aladdin, and even the Nightmare Before Christmas, in an attempt to save the many worlds from creatures known as the heartless. Your weapon is what is called the Keyblade, a really big key that for whatever reason is just as deadly as a sword. The Heartless, creatures not possesing hearts, seek the fabled Kingdom Hearts, where all hearts are born, and also have a nasty little habit of stealing peoples hearts as well as destroy any worlds they come in contact with.
But lets get back to Sora.
Sora is the games main character and lives in his own little world with his own little problems far far away from all the hub-a-baloo of the battle for Kingdom Hearts. By this point gamers realize that our main boy Sora just so happens to be voice by actor Haley Joel Osment, his friend Riku is voice by someone with a welcome sexy-familiar (but unrecognized) voice David Gallagher, his automatically dispisted female friend Kairi is voiced by unknown actress Hayden Panettiere, and Billy Zane has lent his lovely voice for unknown cloaked bad guy Ansem. Sora and his friends spend much of their days playing on "Destiny Island", a lovely little island where all the kids come to hang out with white sandy beaches and palm trees galore. Well, they do until the heartless come, destroy Destiny Island, seperate the three, and Sora is forced into the role as "the Keybearer".
Long story short, Sora joins up with Donald and Goofy, Riky becomes evil, and Kairi has her heart stolen because she is a Princess of Heart, one of seven maidens of the purest heart. By the end of the story Sora has saved the world, but Riku and the King (Mickey Mouse, people!) are MIA, so Sora, Donald, and Goofy, set off on another game- i mean quest- to find them, leaving Kairi back on the revised Destiny Island.
Then a Square-Enix trademark: the secret ending with really spiffy graphics.
WTF?!
Obviously, there is a seqeal. But before that another game, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, is released on the Gamebody Advance. Sarah has never actually played the game, but she is pretty good at finding stuff out, and knows a bit about the plot. The trio stumbles on Castle Oblivion after traveling, where the first game left off, after Pluto (Mickey Mouse's dog, people!) down long grassy field paths. Castle Oblivion has 13 levels that Sora advances through to beat the game, but the castle is named such for a reason. As he goes forward, Sora begins to lose his memories thanks to the powers of a Nobody under the Organization's control, Namine. Our first glimpse at Organization XIII is in CoM's, and also our last glimpse of almost half of its members as Sora defeats several of them as he moves through the game.
Kauany can explain it so much better, as shes actually played the game.
In Kingdom Hearts II, the "real" seqeal, you start off playing as Roxas instead of Sora for the games first few hours in a world called "Twilight Town". Sarah never took a liking much to Twilight Town, where you run around doing extremely pointless jobs such as delivering letters, putting up posters, and hitting a cart up a hill (hey, i told you they were pointless), all while hanging out with Roxas' buddies of no character development what-so-ever Hayner, Pence and Olette. After some very
So this was the game makers polite way of saying "you didn't play Chain of Memories? Nah, 's cool man, we're about to do an entire recap 'nyway!"
Introducing new worlds, new gameplay features and new characters Kingdom Hearts II is a nice little addition as well as keeping to what fans expect from it, then kicking it into overdrive and wowing its adoring public. But to make another long story short, Sora and co. once again save the world, Organization XIII is offically yesterdays news, and this time everyone goes home happy.
Until loyal fans wait until the end of the credits and, because they are loyal they have completed everything in Jiminy's Journal, get another secret ending with even spiffier graphics.
WHATTHEFUCK?!?!
(And i so did not mean to turn this into a History of "Kingdom Hearts" special...) Fanfiction is so amazing because it can be used for anything, and i mean anything. The secret ending from the original Kingdom Hearts was such an insightful glimpse of what was to come, i decided i'd start making up complete rubbish and see if it got me anywhere. Way to long of a prologue later and i'm still nowhere near finishing, so i take a break. Still in a Kingdom Hearts state of mind, my mind starts to wonder, and i just so happen to reading Corruption when suddenly an idea starts to fester in my brain. Perhaps it was all of the Organization XIII icons i had been searching for and then actually finding cool ones that sparked it, but my idea soon sprouted wings and took off with my mind. The thought process probably went something like this:
What if [MASKE] could annoy the hell out of the Organization and its members? Put them in uncomfortably close quarters, perhaps? Hmm, but how? School AU fanfic? Nah, to predictible. Baby-sitting AU fanfic?
Ew no, really badly written fanfiction ruined that frontier long ago.
Okay, getting away from the AU factor. To normal for me anyway. But what? Organization XIII, close quarters, Organization XIII, close quarters, Organization XIII, close quar- So we'd all have to be in the same place. But no AU. Oh, now i've fucked myself. So... [MASKE] would have to live in Castle Oblivion- no. Uh-uh. Don't want to be forgetting things. That would be bad. Really bad. Worst than badly written fanfiction. The Castle That Never Was? i think thats what they called that place in the World That Never Was? Yeah. The Castle That Never Was. [MASKE] would have to be living in The Castle That Never Was for whatever reason.
[MASKE] would need to be Nobodys for starters. Yeah, no way am i touching the "girl gets sucked into video game" cliche. Hmm... [MASKE] could... could... could be... working for the Organization? Working? Working why? Because... because... Because Xemnas... Because Xemnas... got drunk and lost a bet in a bar. And i have no good ideas.
Hey...
END! to Sarah's flashback of odd thought processes. Once she had a plot, all she had to do was come up with little oddities like titles and powers (which Kauany was most helpful with) and WHAM we have what will be my next master piece!
Okay, so its not a master piece. But if you people could see what goes on in my head- actually you just did. So never mind. Cause your all probably a little bit freaked out by all this information anyway, and i'm sure me babbling on and on isn't helping at all.
And just out of curiosity am i the only one freaked out by the guy saying Acoustic Spot [dot] Com every time i look at Corruption??
P.S.-
Mission freak out a relative with the blogs odd name has been complete, my fellow lady terrorists.
