[Outside of Yuuko's shop, there is a box. Inside the box are two things. The first is a mask fashioned from a skull. The second is a letter written in neat, spiky handwriting.]

[There is a second letter slipped under the door of Asch's cabin. It says, simply:]

[And finally, Fay and Oz receive the same note as above, plus a Blue Light Material +6 (+50 defense/light damage reduced by half) and a Kris Dagger respectively (+38 Attack/+48 Magic Attack)... but more importantly, both also receive a world map. On the continent of Seinegald, a tiny town labeled "Cresta" is circled.]

[At the hotel room, Judas is fidgeting.]

[BACK AT THE HOTEL ROOM... Judas is still blushing. What else is new.]

This is going to be the post where I collect all the random info I translate from Tales of Destiny Character Collection, which is sort of like the (slightly outdated) Ultimania for the Destiny games. Mostly stuff that I find amusing for various reasons.

For now, it's a placeholder. AND IN THAT PLACEHOLDER IS A SKIT FROM THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF ToD.

[After meeting Marian]
Rutee: Kukukuku...
Leon: What's with that laugh?
Rutee: I saw it. You're a siscon!
Leon: W-what?! Marian is more like a mother figure to me! Anyway! In the first place, it's none of your business!
Rutee: Then you're a mothercon!
Leon: SHUT THE HELL UP!

Judas is special, so he gets two versions of this test.

I couldn't resist taking it again, only this time with, uh, the popular fanon interpretation of Judas's sex life.

( JFANON ANSWERS )

There's an extra battle available in the PSP port of ToD2. Basically, you can fight Leon Magnus.

... yeah, the party's about as surprised over that as you are. I found the scene on Nico, and translated the aftermath of the battle. I'd, uh, put this behind a cut for spoilers, but NO ONE'S GOING TO EVER PLAY MY CANON ANYWAY, SO.

Leon: ... so...... so...
Judas: ......
Kyle: ... Judas...?
Judas: ... when I tried fighting him, I was able to understand everything...
Judas: ... this is Leon Magnus.
Party: !
Judas: ... eighteen years ago, I betrayed Stahn and the others, and I chose death...
Judas: ... but I didn't have any regrets.
Judas: ... that's right, I didn't regret it. ... or so I thought.
Judas: The me that is "Judas" didn't regret the past.
Judas: ... but inside "Leon," little by little feelings of regret began to bud...
Judas: Those budding feelings of regret became like a person's shadow-- this Leon Magnus.
Leon: ... so....... so...
Leon: ... Stahn, everyone... .... I'm sorry...
Party: !
Judas: ... at that time, I was just thinking of my own feelings, and I betrayed Stahn and the others... so...
[Judas slashes at the figure of Leon.]
Judas: So, illusion or whatever, your existence is no longer needed!!
[Leon begins to disappear.]
Leon: ... than.... k... you.....
Judas: ... farewell, Leon Magnus.

[Judas corners Chaltier around the back of the mess hall.]

... all right, Chal.

I'm so productive.

[It's late. Judas is standing by the open window of the hotel room, bracing his arms on the sill and leaning out just a little.]

... Chal, can I... talk with you for a minute?

[continued from here]

Honestly, Chal...

[grumbles but hugs back anyway.]

[Judas is currently curled up in bed, Chaltier clutched to his chest. He's made a pretty good nest of the blankets, which just gets more tangled when he rolls over.]

...nn.

THE PROMISED ESSAY or why I shouldn't be allowed to essay on anything, ever. Lots of rambling ahead.

( Judas and Chaltier, or: is that a Swordian in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me? )

Updated this because some of the info was horribly out of date.

( Random Facts Meme )

Okay, this is an essay I've been meaning to do for a long time, because it explains a lot about Leon's character and therefore Judas's. Spoilers for most of Tales of Destiny and a bit of Tales of Destiny 2.

...

Bear with me. This is going to be long.

( Leon and Hugo, or: You're a dick, dad. )

This is your extremely belated notice that I just completely redid all of Judas's icons. So, in other words, all his old threads are going to look extremely wonky.

It's okay, though, because now my icons are all pretty. :(b

Philia: Chaltier-san and Leon-san really are close, aren't they?
Leon: Well, we've known each other for a long time.
Chal: [sparkles] Yeah, that's right. From the moment we wake up to the time we're in the bath we're together!
Philia: E-even in the bath...
Leon: Chal, don't say random things!
Chal: Honestly, it's an example, an example.
Philia: [weakly] In the bath... [leaves]
Leon: If weird rumors get started, it's your fault, Chal.
