Ermahgerd Cause of Death

Cause of Death is awesome and this blog was made to relish in that.

I needed to make random couples up to break them up on High School Story. I set Wes and Ezra up, just for lols and the date went well. Haha, best crack ship ever.

I was adjusting this male cheerleader's hair and this was the result.

My girl knows life doesn't begin without that first cup of coffee! She also gets snapped with her eyes closed. Something that often happens to me.

Mal and Natara

Once Natara Williams moved to Washington DC with Mal, she was promptly promoted to Supervisory Special Agent. She worked in a field office for a couple months before being asked to temporarily lead a team in the elite Behavioral Analyst Unit while the Special Agent in Charge (SAC) was on maternity leave. The Section Chief was so impressed with her leadership, profiling, and intensive field knowledge, she recruited Natara permanently. They were surprised that she could do so much while pregnant. She didn’t officially leave work until the beginning of her ninth month, something she did unwillingly. She organized the first “red cell” team on the east coast. She and her team were the first to be called for extreme cases in Washington DC exclusively. Something she was pleased with, because it meant she got to work alongside Mal very often.

Mal Fallon didn’t even land into the nation’s capital to be flooded with offers. The FBI, Secret Service, National Security, and Department of Social Services amongst many. Not wanting to be tied up with bureaucracy, he accepted an offer from the Metropolitan Police Department. Mal knew that he was a cop at heart. He was offered the role of Lieutenant, but Mal always saw himself in the field. He risked his career and became captain of a struggling homicide unit. He whipped them into shape and quickly rebuilt their reputation. Proving once again that Mal’s gut instinct and tough love approach will bring success.

Mal and Natara recently welcomed fraternal twins, to everyone but Mal and Natara’s surprise. Natara felt in her “gut” that she was having twins, but her doctor debunked it. She got a second, third, fourth, and even fifth opinion, all with the same result. After she successfully gave birth to Blaise Lily Fallon-Williams, her instincts told her to keep pushing and Kenneth Jacob Fallon-Williams was born. It turned out that Kenneth was behind Blaise, thus the doctor was unable to read both heartbeats. Mal joked that it’s always wise to listen to Natara. Natara initially thought that she and Mal would grow restless on maternity and paternity leave, but soon realized that taking care of newborn twins was a full-time job in itself. They are still very much in touch with the gang. They visit every Christmas and Kai and Amy have visited Maltara on may occasion.

Where are They Now?

Because I really miss CoD and I know we probably won’t get any real updates on our beloved characters, I’ve took it upon myself to do a “Where are they now?” They’ll be quick blurbs of what the team is up to a little over a year later.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own CoD or any of their characters. Furthermore, these are MY thoughts and opinions. You are free to disagree, but don’t attack me. After all this is just me having fun.

[topdogfallon]

I was playing High School Story and Autumn named her figurines Kai and Amy. An ode to COD. I'm gonna go cry now.

[topdogfallon]

I wonder what everyone would be up to if Cause of Death still aired. What new villains would be introduced? How would everyone be coping with Blaise's heroic death? Especially Jeremy. How would that affect his relationship with Amy? Would a new detective be introduced to fill her position? What about Maltara's baby? I can picture Natara wanting to be pregnant and kicking ass. Would Maria get bored on retirement? I love replaying the game and all, but the game being around and me playing it always helped ease my winter depression. It's just not the same. EA games are pure evil.

Thoughts on Kai and Kara? I thought that they were soooooo cute! In a weird, forensic specialist and international fugitive way XD

I like their dynamic. Kai showed Kara that doing good doesn’t necessarily make you a good guy, it’s just a good deed. Kara gave Kai that taste for the wild side that he craved. I liked how Kara called Kai cowboy and had this soft spot for him. I liked how Kai had this utter fascination for her. I know if the game didn’t end, they would meet again. As much as I love them together, I can’t see them as a couple, their lifestyles and values would get in the way. I do see them getting together for the occasional whirlwind weekend filled with adventure, sex, and lots of alcohol. That’s a given.

I thought about writing a short story on them after I finish Shawn and Luna's marriage story. I'm still working on a Blaisebird one. Might as well, gotta keep the fandom alive.

[topdogfallon]

I think that someone should make a gameplay walkthrough of the entire series (since it is being taken off of the app store tomorrow. RIP CoD 9-8-2014). There are probably some people that weren't able to play the whole series and there isn't a CoD walkthrough on YouTube yet.

Well, I’ve been using this one for the past couple years. It’s not a visual one, but it has helped me tremendously. I’m sure in due time someone will put one on YouTube. I hope this one at least helps a little bit.

I love when Anders smiles. Such a rarity.

[topdogfallon]

The moral of the story is that you do not ruin Natara’s wedding.

[topdogfallon]

That smile tho?

Petition to start a Blaisebird support group

And a Kaira one, and a Ken Greene one, and a Jacob Fallon one, and a Shawn Mallory one, and heck just a Cause of Death one in general. Anything related to this game that has caused me emotional pain.

[topdogfallon]

Ima need that Shawn Mallory support group stat. I just looked at those screen caps of The Firstborn delivering his final death and I'm a little upset.

[topdogfallon]

He didn't exactly get it on a silver platter, but Holland won't have to worry about his butt anymore.

What did you think of the CoD ending???

I know I’m going to get a lot of hate for this, but I think it’s good timing. I didn’t really like it being outside of San Francisco. Like why are they in Japan and England? If they were in another city in California, it wouldn’t be as bad. Like Natara is the only one who has authority out of the city of San Francisco. I’m not downplaying the hard work and dedication of everyone else. I just see them in San Francisco, you know? Why did the Firstborn have to awaken all of Genevieve’s children and cause worldwide havoc? That plot just wasn’t my favorite. 

I did like the ending, though. I’m sad to see Blaise go. I really wanted her to get back with Jeremy. I wanted some redemption for Blaise. She struggled so much, only to die in the end. I did like that she went in a completely badass way. It was the ultimate fuck you. I believe the rest of the team honored her properly. I always hated how she was always cast aside. 

As for the actual plot, I thought it was pretty awesome. What I really liked was that Mal and Natara were able to show that even though they love each other, they were willing to do what it takes to end the Firstborn. He shot through Natara, which finally killed the Firstborn. What made it better was that he was finally able to feel fear. He knew what it was like and he thought of all the people he killed. He couldn’t be held in a jail cell, the Firstborn had to be killed. He would have figured his way out, if he hadn’t been. I think this made Mal and Natara’s relationship stronger. They both know that no matter how deep their love is for each other and how much their instinct is to protect one another, there is always a job to do no matter what. 

What I liked the most is that Mal and Natara are having a child together. They’re not getting married yet, sorry, but that’s a total cliche and I’m glad the CoD team didn’t go that route. Instead they are off to Washington DC to start a new life together. 

So, yeah I’ll really miss the game. I have every episode, so I’ll be able to play whenever I want and relive the magic.

Umm, excuse me?

WHAT HAS THIS WORLD COME TO? I SHIP A SASSY SERIAL KILLER WITH A CRAZY CYBORG LADY

[topdogfallon]

No, I think it's very sweet in a psycho way. I really like Noroi.
