Does anyone else want to cry because Kelly Jones was the only one who believed Annabelle could be Head Girl. Everyone else mocked her but Kelly gave her a handwritten note full of encouragement and advice, told her to call whenever she needed her even if it is in the middle of a spy mission and came to see her personally when things got too overwhelming for her. If that isn’t lesbian activity I don’t know what is.
KATE, PART 6: Statues of Women and Female Cadavers
As the title above implies, I got LON'MIRIEL'S B Support convo and holy shit I love them both so much dear lord. Also, I somehow managed to get my Part numbers to reflect my Chapter numbers...? What sorcery is this?!
So yeah, Chapter 6, go!
I had a few Risen battles pop after the end of Chapter 5 so here are the new Support levels:
FREDLY: A
LON'MIRIEL: B
LAHL: B
KELLABELLE: C
CHAPTER SIX: FORESEER
MARTH: I knew the assassins were there, which proves I'm from the future and also on your side!
AHA: Yeah, or, y'know, that you're staging an elaborate farce to gain our trust. But we can go with the first one I guess. What do you say, Chrom?
CHROM: HOLY SHIT MARTH IS A GIRL.
Emmeryn is under attack from Jaffar Validar and we gotta go save Her Luminosity, so here's the team:
Chrom, Aha, FREDLY, LON'MIRIEL, KELLABELLE, LAHL.
I would include Donnel and Sumia since their future-boos show up in this chapter but they'll probably die too quickly to be useful. LOL ALSO I noticed just in time that Lon'qu had no sword left so he yoinks a spare Iron Sword from the convoy to be renamed after the battle. RIP STRONGNAME, you were an excellent piece of hardware. Also, Kellam retrieves his Throwstick from Sumia for the duration of the battle.
Let the fight begin!
Marth, why are you guarding the locked door when there's a hole in the wall on the side of Emmeryn's room that the enemy can get in through?
...Sighs.
Lissa gets to be Gaius-bait this time around, standing on the edge of his aggro field to draw him close enough for Chrom to talk to and recruit him on the next turn. FREDLY plugs the middle staircase with their massive horse butts while KELLABELLE rides over to reinforce/heal and LON'MIRIEL and Aha take the Eastern staircase.
Panne shows up, yay! And Chrom recruits Gaius successfully, double-yay! I'm glad I get to enjoy Gaius through the lens of the 3ds because his supports indicate to me that irl he'd be one of those gross, sticky dudes who seems like he never showers. What person in their right mind hides their candy stash in their clothing?! Gaius, that's fucking who.
CHROM: Wanna join me and not kill my sister?
GAIUS: Ya gotta sweeten the deal.
CHROM: I can give you so much gold.
GAIUS: C-CANDY, I'LL TAKE THE CANDY.
GAIUS: And, I mean, cough, the gold, too. Lbr, I need it more than you do, Fancypants.
LAHL takes over for Chrom/Gaius and continues to suck. FREDLY and KELLABELLE, meanwhile, are critting the shit out of the middle staircase like the bamfs they are. Panne starts making her way over to Aha so they can have their glorious team-up. LAHL is definitely going to need some help so KELLABELLE gets left to defend their staircase alone which... whatever, Kellam is wearing a giant metal suit, all he really has to do is sit down on the top step and laugh at all the assholes who can't hit him.
On the next turn Stahl goes down like a weenie, leaving it to FREDLY and Lissa to hold the line on the West entrance. Chrom would have probably preferred to turn around to go help Lissa but sorry, you and Gaius need to get that chest that's beckoning to you so sweetly in Emmeryn's room.
GAIUS: Sup, Emm. Don't mind me, just protecting you and not robbing you of your valuables or anything like that.
CHROM: Omfg, shut up.
It contains a Secret Book, aka one of those items I forgot I wasn't allowed to use in this game. Oh well, I can always use more vendor trash.
Omfg all I can hear in my head right now is Kellam using that one line Ozruk screams at everyone in Stonecore.
KELLAM: BREAK YOURSELVES UPON MY BODY.
MARIBELLE: Must you? Really, must you?
As you might be able to guess, nothing is fucking getting past KELLABELLE on the central staircase lmao. Lissa comes over to hang out while FREDLY dishes out some wrath on the posse by the western entrance and LON'MIRIEL and Aha/Panne start trekking over to offer their own assistance. For some reason it seems like Jaffar Validar always comes up on the west side so it's time for everyone to group up for the boss battle. (My theory is he's not an ambi-turner.)
Validar slaps the shit out of Chrom using pure deja vu (and, y'know, his tome of Elfire) but Maribelle is on hand to lay down some heals that HOPEFULLY DON'T CAUSE CHROM TO FORGET ABOUT HIS VILLAGE MAIDEN SWEETHEART, GDI I WISH I WAS PAYING MORE ATTENTION RIGHT THERE.
Anyway, right after that LON'MIRIEL crit-one-shots Validar because hell yeah is why!
Somewhat unsurprisingly, KELLABELLE are the Stage MVPs. I still can't fucking get Ozruk's voice out of my head lmaooo.
OH NO I MADE IT WORSE LOLLL.
KELLAM: BREAK YOURSELVES UPON MY BODY.
MARIBELLE: I can't marry this moron.
KELLAM: FEEEEEL THE STREEENGTH OF THE EEEAARTHHHH.
MARIBELLE: Why won't anyone stop him?
Ahaha okay back on topic... Marth is out-y once more as soon as the battle is done. Chrom chases after her because he wants to thank her for sitting on one fucking tile for the entire duration of the battle to save Emmeryn's life? Then we cut to Panne's introduction, and I'm excited because I love this fierce rabbit bamf.
EMMERYN: I personally apologize for the people who basically made your race extinct, Panne.
PANNE: Wow.
PHILA: I've been the head of your guard for quite some time now and I've never seen you slay a taguel, milady.
EMMERYN: But everything in the world is my fault even if it totally isn't whatsoever!
PANNE: You seem incredibly stupid, but also incredibly sincere. Eh, I'll join your group, it's not like I have anything else to do, being the last of my species and all.
Over in the Shadowlands, Scar Jaffar Validar has a meet-cute with his ??? benefactor, who is apparently a naked chick comprised of purple and darkness. Oh snap she's actually a dragon. Which is weird, I thought they were lizards.
The chapter ends with Chrom convincing the Exalt to take refuge in the Eastern palace because, I dunno, assassins can't cross the Mississippi or something. A risen battle pops so it's time to go deal with that since there are no supports from the Emmeryn battle... ; ;
FREDLY, LON'MIRIEL, LAHL, and KELLABELLE take the field. with Kellam still humming the song from earlier.
Uh... this map is filled entirely with Wyvern Riders it looks like so since LAHL has nowhere to hide he gets to sit on the closest fort and pray he survives. Good luck, buddy.
Lon'qu hits 13, holy shit, where are my gd seals. Meanwhile FREDLY climbs the embankment while carefully avoiding FORT SPARKLES, AUGH. Finally KELLABELLE plant themselves on the path to the bottom third of the map, because there's at least one non-wyvern riding Risen he can fuck with by doing so. He also hits level 10, grats dude!
Miriel gets some time on the frontlines and LEVELS FROM TWO TO SIX IN ONE TURN HOLY SHIT HER DODGE IS GODLY. If I didn't know better I'd say picking +LUCK for MU gave me RNG magic.
And then, as if to make up for the disappointment of no supports at the end of the last chapter, I've got one for three-quarters of my pairs from the Risen spawn!
FREDLY TIES THE KNOT AND GBFHISAG IT'S ADORABLE, DIRECT QUOTE:
SULLY: Okay, my heart is pretty much just sunbeams and puppies right now.
OMFG, ANOTHER DIRECT QUOTE.
FREDERICK: Sully, my love, will you be my sunbeam?
SULLY: Only if you'll be my puppy!
FLIPS LAPTOP ONTO THE FLOOR.
Oh god and it's followed by one of my absolute favorites, the A Support between Lon'qu and Miriel I can't handle this, it's going to kill me. Miriel you adorable KY shit, UGH.
Way less excited about the KELLABELLE support but whatever, the previous ones more than made up for it.
