LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? Welcome to my talk page! Use this to ask me anything, and I will do my best to answer. I prefer talk bubbles to be used here, but if you don't have one, just tell me the character, quotes, and color scheme and I'd be glad to make you one here (this rule is shamelessly stolen from JFHavoc:p). My golden rule: I would prefer that you not use tolerate profanity on here, and won't tolerate it when directed at other users (and yes, I find using "gay" as an insult offensive). Break that, and we'll have issues. Also, please try to use propper grammar on here. If you need to talk to me about something private or something that can't be settled here on the wiki, ask me to go on the IRC and I'll get on as soon as I can.

LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? My talk page recently got a bit too large, so I archived everything except the most recent section. If you are looking for a conversation/question that was here before, look in the archive. I made the current image myself, but all credit to the previous awesome image (which I will leave on the previous archives so everyone can see it) goes to ENX. I never just ignore a comment on my page, so if you see a comment that looks like I just skipped over, more likely than not I have not gone on my computer and seen it yet, am currently responding, or have already responded on the asker's talkpage. Usually, it is the latter.

Congratulations

Roxas Talk to Me! — "I see myself the way you remember me, and you see yourself the way I remember you." "You make a good other..." — 17:11, 28 February 2011 (EST) Hey Lapis, CONGRATULATIONS ON BECOMING A MODERATOR!! :D You really deserve it!!

LapisScarab - Very good. You don't miss a thing. I cannot feel sorrow... No matter what misery befalls the worlds. No matter what you think, what you feel, or how you exist. TALK - Come closer... Thank you!

Oh,how the sea calls - Got it memorized? TALK - 14:32, August 28, 2010 (UTC) We are all trying to find our niche my friend. I hope the writing goes well.

Minecraft

Chitalian8 Say... — Mother and Father call me Joshua. I guess you can call me Joshua, too... Since you're my dear, dear partner. I don't see how this is my fault. You're the one who refuses to call me Pink. — 21:52, 5 March 2011 (EST) From the looks of your impressive archive image, it looks like you play Minecraft. I also play it, but I play offline, so I can't get the new version of it X.x

Chitalian8 Say... — Only by allowing strangers in can we find new ways to be ourselves. Life's little crossroads are often as simple as the pull of a trigger. — 22:05, 5 March 2011 (EST) *is curious to what a LP of Minecraft would be like* Anyway, making an Outset Island sounds pretty damn cool, I'd like to see it.

BlackSoulBlade - Keyblades of Light and Dark were locked in combat... TALK - As the great Keyblade War raged! I really must get some cash so I can get Minecraft. My goal is to make the Castle That Never Was, complete with Nether Dark City...I'm going to need a lot of wool and obsidian.

LightRoxas - "Humans can be terrible creatures indeed." TALK - "Now, kill me... or I... shall kill YOU!" Dude you like Minecraft too! Awesome! :D

Question

Roxas Wanna talk to Me? — "I'm Roxas." "We could find the real thieves. That would set the record straight." — 19:29, 6 March 2011 (EST) Hey Lapis, at that meeting yesterday you said that you guys were gunna plan another meeting for the wikia wiki. Do you have any idea yet as to when that will be. This one I really want to be part of as I have made it my duty to help that wiki get back on it's feet and continu on. So I believe it would be best that I be present. And by the way nice archive image. It's pretty cool :D

Roxas Talk to Me! — "All that for me?" "I'll go get some ice cream!" — 20:12, 6 March 2011 (EST) Alright, understood. Even though I havn't been able to do really anything at all to help that re-sync process due to massive school work >.> I'll be sure to attend those meeting as well. Any idea of when exactly that will be, or where I can keep myself updated so I don't have keep coming to ask someone and feeling like I live under a rock.

Roxas Huh? — "But... I don't get what's been happening lately." "A Key...blade?" — 20:23, 6 March 2011 (EST) I'm going to appologise for my stupidity right now but uhmmm what??? O.o I'm confused.... So wait a minute, is there not going to be more meetings now??? Again sorry if I'm getting annoying with having no idea what you're saying. >.>

Roxas Talk to Me! — "I see myself the way you remember me, and you see yourself the way I remember you." "You make a good other..." — 20:44, 6 March 2011 (EST) Haha you the stupid one? Ha I think not! You have a long way to go before you ride on my crazy train. ;D But anyways, ok so no meeting soon but there are going to be more meetings for this wiki before we move on the the old wiki. Is there some place where I would find out about meetings and whatnot? I don't wanna havta keep bothering you or some other poor soul about that stuff XD EDIT: Ok thank you very much ^^ I'll stop bothering you now heh ;D

Thanks!

Thanks for your vote! I really appreciate it! KRCCFNF is tired of being STEPPED ON. 21:45, 1 May 2011 (EDT)

Roxas Petition

LightRoxas - "It was the sound of books... pages being turned. So, that's just what I was doing, just reading, uh... books. So not a moron." TALK - "Apparently when you scream at a marshmallow, all you get is a scared marshmallow." I'm hoping to mend the pain of my friend RoxasXIIILK, and I see that he is your friend too. Please come sign this petition with some kind words, that Roxas might return.

Hello

Chihuahuaman What did i do!? What did YOU do!?!? — 13:02, 31 May 2011 (EDT) Hi Lapis, how are you? I heard you became a Moderator, congratulations!? To be honest, I thought that you were already a Moderator. Sorry. But did you ever beat FFVIICC? Sorry for bothering you, I know you have more Mod-like things to do.

Mirage Arena

Erry - Wretched SeeD TALK - -CESONIV SOCEW CESUL SOHTIF- + -FITHOS LUSEC WECOS VINOSEC- ~ 04:12, 12 June 2011 (EDT) I don't really know... I was planning on working on the actual Mirage Arena and archiving... while you would work on nominations and nomination archiving? EDIT: I believe Joint Struggle would be in the same fashion.

It's been too long, my friend!

Eternal Nothingness XIII - You have to be strong. Strength of heart will carry you through the hardest of trials. TALK - What I do, I do for friendship. — 08:50, 11 July 2011 (EDT) Great to hear from you after such a long time, Lapis. I was spending all my time on the FFWiki because I was so absorbed in Final Fantasy XIII. I originally planned on remaining on Wiki break until new KH3D stuff would be announced, when I'd be more inspired to edit here. But then two things made me change my mind: Dropping in on the IRC just for curiosity made me miss my friends here like you, TNE, and Kryten and the interactions I've had with you. I rediscovered an old KH3 fanfic I started on the KH Fanon Wiki, and I like what I see and can picture it happening. I'm trying to finish it so I have something to present to Square if I apply there after college (granted KH3 isn't out in six years). If you want to see those ideas, I'd be more than happy to show you my plot concept. So now I'm re-listening to KH music to feel nostalgic and am trying to get back into the series. I'm not sure when/if I'll be going on another long Wiki break, but I hope I can get a good flow of edits going like I used to before that happens. Again, it's great to hear from you, and thanks for the warm welcome back!

Odd

Is he using multiple IPs/accounts? I only see this actual IP harassing her once- what he recently posted. EDIT: I'm an idiot. I remember the discussion on Kryten's page. I see now.--Xion4ever 09:39, 16 July 2011 (EDT)

Erry - Nothing is true Everything is permitted TALK - I am Ezio Auditore da Firenze, and this is my Brotherhood. ~ 00:13, 5 August 2011 (EDT) *dusts off talkbox* So anyways, we're on match 18 and I was thinking that we'd do 2 matches and then finally Joint Struggle as the last Joint Struggle we had was when there were 16 matches already. So what do you think? Also, about Joint Struggle. I will be making new fight boxes for both Joint Struggle and Second Chance sometime. I was thinking some plantlife in the "SECOND CHANCE" Header and maybe blue lights/auroras for Joint Struggle... just an idea.

Erry - Deep Drive TALK - Moon shine down. ~ 07:51, 9 August 2011 (UTC) So here they are, the brand new Joint Struggle and Second Chance battle boxes.

Erry - Let me think about it. TALK - Scherzo Di Notte ~ 05:08, 19 August 2011 (UTC) Uhh, we sort of have a problem. 20 is not a good amount for Joint Struggle and Second Chance. We can either drop the last 4 matches or drop the earliest 4 matches or select 16 matches out of the whole round. Or we can just keep going for 32 matches. I suggest we drop some matches...

Erry - Let me think about it. TALK - Scherzo Di Notte ~ 06:51, 19 August 2011 (UTC) So does that mean I terminate the current match and just straight away make the pages for Joint Struggle and Second Chance?

Erry - Let me think about it. TALK - Scherzo Di Notte ~ 17:39, 19 August 2011 (UTC) I think I'll just let this match run until Sunday and then Joint Struggle and Second Chance will start.

Erry - Let me think about it. TALK - Scherzo Di Notte ~ 07:26, 23 August 2011 (UTC) I've set up all the Joint Struggle pages and templates, all you need to do is set up the Second Chance page and we'll open up Joint Struggle for voting.

Erry - Let me think about it. TALK - Scherzo Di Notte ~ 13:15, 29 August 2011 (UTC) Also, I should have said this earlier but I'll say it now. Joint Struggle matches start and end Sundays, normal matches on Fridays.

It's been a really long time

Lapidothtill - Let's get down to brass tacks... TALK - How much for the ape? Hi there, not sure if you remember me, but I was involved a lot before the move. I've been gone forever (school, art deadlines, ect, ect.) and before I left I was working on the KH manga pages, I was wondering if those need to still need to be finished. I feel like a real ass for starting them and never getting them done and I don't know who is still active on here so I figured I'd bring this up to you. Since honestly you're one of the few I remember bothering endlessly when I first started... and I'm rambling...anyway if you could get back to me, that'd be great. Thanks.

Lapidothtill - What sound does an Arctic Tern make, Col? TALK - BACKSTREET BOYS? Will do. Thanks.

AlVan - I'm the leading man, you know. TALK - {{{time}}} Sorry about that, I forgot. The image is fine, I probably would've just left a link and nothing else but now it looks better.

Request for assistance

ShardofTruth Once you believe, truth and lie are quite the same thing. — 10:11, 15 September 2011 (UTC) Hi Lapis, I have a favor to ask of you. You are one of the most (if not the most) talented writers on the wiki. You improved a lot of articles, especially where close descriptions were needed. My writing style on ther other hand is clunky at best and even worse most of the time. I'd like to publish the symbol article I've been collecting material for in the near future (especially now after the Keyhole has published a similiar one, totally not using the same descriptions and images^^). What is heavily needed for the article is a better design (I'm working on it) and more descriptions and backgrounds. I think every main symbol should have a paragraph of text, even more if they are derived from real world symbols. The collections and compilations should at least have an introductory sentence. There's no hurry, since some parts are still missing but I really would appreciate your input, even if it's only suggestion for improvement. Thanks.

ShardofTruth Once you believe, truth and lie are quite the same thing. — 22:13, 15 September 2011 (UTC) Thank you very much.

ShardofTruth Once you believe, truth and lie are quite the same thing. — 10:00, 18 September 2011 (UTC) You're really fast:-). Also, you don't have to bother with the Dream Eaters emblems to much. My attempt on the friendly version of the symbol is just fanart and may be incorrect and I don't found a bigger image for the enemy symbol yet.

ShardofTruth Once you believe, truth and lie are quite the same thing. — 20:56, 20 September 2011 (UTC) No need to apologize or to hurry for that matter.^^

ShardofTruth Once you believe, truth and lie are quite the same thing. — 11:32, 21 September 2011 (UTC) You're right, it is redundant. Maybe we should just link there instead. If we change it to stars on the other hand it may be too broad. Because stars are often used without a special purpose in mind in the KH series, so it nullifies the speciality we'll try to show on the page. I think 75% of the battle effects have a star in them. Hmm, but a star in KH is another world and that can be connected to the Wayfinders, can't it and the only two places that use a heavy star theme are Traverse Town and the Mysterious Tower. I'm confused, so maybe we should try it.

ShardofTruth Once you believe, truth and lie are quite the same thing. — 00:19, 25 September 2011 (UTC) First of all, thanks for all your hard work. This reads like a real article now and I really liked how the star section turned out :D There are just a few things left, before we can publish it: The headlines: I think the order of the symbols has to be in accordance with their impact on the story, but the first four headlines sound really clunky. Can you think of something better? In case you wonder, I put Roxas zipper pull in the minor section because SE uses it very often in their promotional material, so I thought it's more important than the other character symbols. I would like to label the article as Real-world article, because we use real world reference. Do you think it's justified or not enough? I don't know if we have a Keys to Heaven reference yet on the wiki, but it could be easiliy incorperated in the χ-blade section or in the Keyblade section under Kingdom Key etc. I haven't had a good design idea yet. The way the keyhole presents their article is not suitable for us, because nobody cares in which game the symbol appears (just where exactly it's been shown) and we have enough space to present all symbols at once. The only thing I can think of would be some sort of collapsible section where we can hide some addional info that is too repetitive to put it in the text (like a complete complete list on which accesoure a crown can be seen etc.) But that sound really boring. Do you have an opinion on the layout? In the past I wanted to add the magic some special bosses use, but I don't think that really fits anymore, because the design seems more random than in some sort of context. I haven't uploaded the images yet, because they are not complete but it's essentially the Trinity Limit in KH and KHBBS, Roxas's Magic Hour in KHIIFM, the Lingering Will's Magic in KHIIFM and KHBBS, the Unknown's Magic in KHBBS and the magic of the Armor of the Master in KHBBSFM. Maybe this info is more suited for the character pages, what do you think? The only connection they have is that they use some sort of a summoning circle and the chains that the Armor of the Master (and Eraqus) uses are like the ones seen in the Chambers of Repose and Waking.

Talk Archive Image

LightRoxas - "Humans can be terrible creatures indeed." TALK - "Now, kill me... or I... shall kill YOU!" I really like your talk archiving image! Gotta love all the amazing, creative uses you can get out of Minecraft!

LightSamus - "Any objections, Lady?" TALK - "I'm sorry that I cooked your dog." Haha thanks!! I love Minecraft and Whose Line as well! And Minecraft Let's Plays are awesome. What's your friend's youtube name, I might have to check out his vids (if he's even half as awesome as the Yogscast then he's worth watching).

Erry - Ragnarok de Dies Irae. TALK - Nascent Requiem ~ 20:20, 8 October 2011 (UTC) Let's play. Minecraft. SERVER, LP, TOGETHER.

LightSamus - "Any objections, Lady?" TALK - "I'm sorry that I cooked your dog." Alright, I'll have to look into his videos. And if you ever get a LP going, let me know - I'd love to tune in!

Minecraft Userbox

LightRoxas - "It was the sound of books... pages being turned. So, that's just what I was doing, just reading, uh... books. So not a moron." TALK - "Apparently when you scream at a marshmallow, all you get is a scared marshmallow." As the title suggests, I got a Minecraft userbox created! Don't know if you use userboxes, but if you do you can type User Minecraft, but with brackets, of course. Also, saw your Youtube account on the Wiki's channel, so I subscribed. Hopefully you get a chance to do some LPs sometime!

LightRoxas - "It was the sound of books... pages being turned. So, that's just what I was doing, just reading, uh... books. So not a moron." TALK - "Apparently when you scream at a marshmallow, all you get is a scared marshmallow." I know, I'm pretty busy too, but also patient so I can definitely wait! And also, congrats on your "Best Day Ever!"

Uh, I've heard wonders from you...

Dark-EnigmaXIII - Ones born of the heart and darkness, devoids of heart... TALK - Those who ravage all worlds and bring desolation... 02:32, 20 October 2011 (UTC) Well, indeed I have. Roxas has told me wonderfull things about you, Lapis. And sadly, I never got to meet you before the split, but... who cares? Mind becoming acquaintances with me now? ^^ I dont bite... that much.

Sylar - Al partir, un beso y una flor. Un "te quiero", una caricia, y un adios. Es ligero el equipaje para tan largo viaje. TALK - Lo que nos es querido... siempre queda atras...03:30, 20 October 2011 (UTC) Better late than never, thanks! Congrats on beign a mod here. I bet the position is harder to archieve here. Anyways, I'd like to talk to you when possible. Do you frequent the IRC every now and then? In particular, there's somenthing I want to talk with you.

Sylar - Al partir, un beso y una flor. Un "te quiero", una caricia, y un adios. Es ligero el equipaje para tan largo viaje. TALK - Lo que nos es querido... siempre queda atras...04:14, 20 October 2011 (UTC) Well, it's not really urgent, so there's no need to meet now, since its nearly 1:30 AM where I live and I have to get up early. I just want to hear your oppinion in somenthing. Yeah, I was kinda random. Anyways, it was a pleasure to meet you! I have to go now.

Happy birthday

Chitalian8 Say... — Mother and Father call me Joshua. I guess you can call me Joshua, too... Since you're my dear, dear partner. I don't see how this is my fault. You're the one who refuses to call me Pink. — 21:25, 10 November 2011 (UTC) Happy birthday, Lapis!

Light_Roxas - "I'm a dwarf and I'm digging a hole! DIGGY DIGGY HOLE!!" TALK - "I DEMAND YOUR FINEST BACON!" HAPPY DAY OF BIRTH!!!

LapisScarab - Very good. You don't miss a thing. I cannot feel sorrow... No matter what misery befalls the worlds. No matter what you think, what you feel, or how you exist. TALK - Come closer... Thanks very much!

Retired?

NinjaSheik - All of this might have started with a lie...But I'm really am glad that I could meet you... TALK - One day, the light-it will be ours, and it will bring us together. Til then, I'll be in your heart... Are you leaving us too, Lapis-kun?

LightRoxas - "One day when you're in trouble, the light within you will lead you to the light of another. Someone to keep you safe." TALK - "Ven, I'm sorry... I might not make it back as soon as I thought. But I promise I'll be there, one day, to wake you up." You've been a great help to this wiki, and if you are truly leaving us, than I must say I will miss you. Have a good life, and God bless you!

LapisScarab - You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice? TALK - That may be... however, what other choice might we have had? I'm dealing with a great deal of personal things right now. Nothing serious, but quite enough to make me very busy; figuring out college, attempting to have an actual social life for the first time, figuring out who I am, etc. I just don't have the time to devote to the Wiki at all anymore. I certainly won't forget this place, though, and thank you.

NinjaSheik - All of this might have started with a lie...But I'm really am glad that I could meet you... TALK - I'm so sorry... All right, I understand. Goodbye, then, Lapis-kun. We'll miss you here on the wiki. You were one of the best editors here. Good luck in life.

LegoAlchemist - They changed "Snipe Magnet" to "Magnet Grab"? Who's translating this game, 4kids? TALK - Friendships are in direct contravention of mercenary conduct as delineated in your contracts, and on a personal note: I am very, very, disappointed with you. Thanks for welcoming me to the wiki back in '09, man. You'll be missed.
