#kadzyk

I made that decision recently quite unspoiled. I've carefully looked at spoilers since then, and I may someday run a third Cross with 13, making a third AU. Maybe. The Roo/Lila Brown gas station OG WiiU Nulliverse, the Kadzyk DE Nulliverse, and maybe Monolith's own post game AU. Maybe.

In the real AUs that I get to mess around with, Lin will become president of the NLA PTA in 2085, and my life is all the better for it.

one of the greatest strengths of the original Xenoblade X was how ordinary Cross could be

So many characters were ordinary. Not the descendents of semi-gods, not the ones chosen by fate. They were the survivors of survivors, a lot of it accidentally. They were what was left over after the world and the Whale blew up.

And the city was petty and frustrated and frightened, AND they worked hard to save New Los Angeles. They are weird and flawed and hurt, AND they are the heroes. Just people.

Elma: Did you get all that lore dump, Rook?

Kadzyk: Um...

Elma: [Mira give me strength]

Yes, Xenoblade X fans get three chances for cake. 10th anniversary of the release in Japan (give or take a time zone) yippee

Enjoy a hastily written 1k fic about a new Cross trying not to be too overwhelmed. Then he is swarmed by enthusiastic OC Prospectors.

My Cross Kadzyk is a nice guy. Two drunk geology professors from UCLA have decided to become his godmothers and teach him the importance of raiding the buffet. Then one of them gets a crush on Chausson, it can be done!!!!
