Perhaps the "Dream of Zeal" really is alive.

[Dialga_Palkia]

It was so sudden. I felt like as if the C&D never happened and with a lot of extra time, there were some cool changes into the game; only to make it sad was it a dream. Basically this dream happened before my Pokemon related dreams (yeah!!!) this morning (since dreams feel a long time, it basically makes time shorter in reality) and it was quite cool. I hadn't watched the videos ever since June (finished watching them all) and for some reason I do remember being in this Ocean Palace like place with Magus on the front party with two strange characters. Okay, then we see this golden yellow borderline with a crimson floor over the dark space. (It's basically a rollover carpet) and up I see King Zeal (at least that's him) and not only is the Crono team there, but various people too that I don't know who is who! Then I see one sprite that I am guessing who symbolized me and then King Zeal makes the dramatic speech with the various 47 cast members and following up with an epic battle with Magus. Did I mention about Queen Zeal. She was there, but reformed?! So long story short:

>I have a dream about the final battle
>The Ocean Palace/ Black Omen looks badass.
>Someone or something pulled a Gurren Lagann too before the battle if I recall.
>My sprite was like Crono, only a little big and brownish hair.
>Glenn wasn't a frog, or at least a frog.
>Speaking of Frog, I swear I was at the Choras "Hero's Grave" earlier.

Basically the fight.......was left out of the open. I have no idea how this came to being, but I hope I have a continuation soon. I think I saw Serge; perhaps they were custom sprites? Perhaps sprites symbolizing the forum? Whatever happened to Agent12?

I've invented the concept of "soulplay". Maybe that will contribute.

[Romana]

what

[Schala Zeal]

Soulplay is beyond roleplay. It's when you like a character so much that you actually become him/her in every aspect. You convince yourself you are and always have been that character and live as them.

[FaustWolf]

PSZ, this is curious. Does "soulplay" require cosplay, or can it work without?

[Schala Zeal]

Both. Although, having convinced myself I'm the real Schala and lived as her for the past 2 years, I'm probably going to get a tailor or friend to put together robe like it.

Maybe when I hit my mid 30s I'll upgrade to Mother's attire.

Fascinating. As long as you're still capable of performing daily activities like tying your shoes and driving a car, I guess you can be anyone you want to be. Just watch out for a real-world Serge. That could be awkward. Or awesome. Or both.

I feel sorry for the people who think their Zoah ...must get a bit cold

@ Yourgingerestfan: I DON'T THINK THEY GET COLD AT ALL! THE MASK KEEPS THEM NICE AND WARM.

@Dapifer and Yourgingerestfan : NOT TO MENTION RUNNING AROUND NAKED THINKING WE GOTS SCHWARZENEGGER LIKE BULK!

  Actually it has always been my understanding that "When you want to be someone else you begin to lose yourself, becoming a mere shell/reflection/shadow who was never meant to be the sun."

However, I also believe in this; "A man is but a blank page on which everyone leaves their mark." Basically it means that what a man sees, hears and feels, they influence him and his thoughts and feelings somehow. For example, ZeaLity is THE ZeaLity today thanks to Gurren Lagaan, Rock Lee, Bleach, Chrono, and a lotta intellectual and social learning and experiences. If it wasn't for those things, ZeaLity would have been an almost entirely different person.

And thus, no Crimson Echoes. And thus no William Ishito, no King Zeal, no Benevolence (true, Crimson Echoes inspired me ROFL).

I agree that our experiences shape us, but I disagree in one regard:

WE DON'T THINK WE GOTS SCHWARZENEGGER LIKE BULK! WE GOTS HIS BULK AND MOAR! WE ARE ZOAH! WE SPEAK IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE OUR METAL MASK AND NAKEDNESS DEMANDS IT! DON'T QUESTION THE CAPS!
