Star of Hope

Lady Artz: Hi...again. *ducks behind her computer to hide* I know it's been forever since I lasted posted anything on here, but in my defense, I forgot I had a blog...again. *chuckles nervously* Anyways, a lot of things have changed since the last time I posted.

Hope: That's an understatement. *crossing his arms*

Lady Artz: Hope, go back to fanfiction.net! You belong in my Final Fantasy XIII story called Star of Hope!

Hope: I think I might stick around a while. I mean, I never thought you, of all people, would have a blog. I'm curious.

Lady Artz: Well, it's not like I update regularly or anything. Usually months, if not a year, goes by before I suddenly remember that I have a blog.

Hope: So I've noticed. Your last post was from last year. You do seem to have issues with updating on a regular basis...anywhere in fact.

Lady Artz: Oh shut up, you're just mad because Artz didn't let you stay when you two finally met in Chapter 8!

Hope: *blinks* Oh that, I'm over that. Besides, she needed me to be stronger for all the crazy stuff that's gonna be heading our way soon.

Lady Artz: That's not until Chapter 20!

Hope: Why so long to get to the original plot line of the game?

Lady Artz: Because I wanted to develop and cultivate her relationships and friendships with all the characters including the secondary characters of Nora Estheim, Lebreau, Gadot, Yuj, Maqui, Amodar and Dajh!

Hope: You sort of skipped Serah.

Lady Artz: *blinks* Oh, I did, didn't I? Whoops, my bad. Hey wait a minute! Serah has her own story line in Final Fantasy XIII-2!

Hope: Will you be doing a story for Final Fantasy XIII: Lightning Returns?

Lady Artz: Huh? *stops ranting and calms down* Not really, no. It will be mentioned near the end of the sequel for Star of Hope. It becomes unnecessary after the final events of the sequel.

Hope: *nods* So what is the sequel called?

Lady Artz: I'm thinking about calling it Soul of the Goddess but I'm not fully locked into it. I'll see how I feel once I get to the end of Star of Hope.

Hope: If you get to the end.

Lady Artz: *glares at him* I will finish it! I will, I will!

Hope: I won't hold my breath.

Lady Artz: *screams in frustration*

Hope: Come on, you know I have just reason for believing that you won't make it. You don't update regularly, you have yet to properly finish a story outside of a prequel, and you have to watch Youtube in order to get all the dialogue you need from the cinematic cut scenes because you can't find a guide that includes the dialogue nor a transcript for the game.

Lady Artz: *shoulders slump* All valid points, my friend, but a part of me really wants to finish this story and dive into its sequel which is so much more delectably twisted because of all the paradoxes.

Hope: *sighs heavily* Alright. Since it honestly means that much to you, I suppose I will just have to support you.

Lady Artz: *eyes sparkle with happiness* Thanks Hope! You're the best! *hug tackles him*

Hope: *groans slightly* I really need a vacation.
