    ...Which reminds me, which do they conider more 'correct' in Australia-- English English or American English? Or do they find their own dialect even superior...er?
    I'd mind less if either the UK localisation team actually did their job, or if we in the UK just didn't have to wait for a European release. I mean, the people of the UK are so lazy, in general, with learning foreign languages, so what good would it do to sell them a copy of a game that could-- but never will-- be played in French, German, Spanish, Italian, Russian, Portuguese, et cetera..? And yet we are forced to wait until four out of the five localisations teams have done their jobs on translating the game. BUT NOW I'M RANTING IN CIRCLES. BLAAAAAGH. YOU GET WHAT I MEAN. Rant over.
    For complex reasons, our hero Raphael has ended up taking a waiter's exam-- i.e. said minigame-- and the head waiter keeps shouting out instructions.

    The silly thing is that, upon the '1-2-glace' command, Raphael and the three other waiters raise a wine glass; IIRC, glace means ice. So a fail in the planning department. Not to mention that fact that, despite Nintendo of Europe having a UK localisation team, the entire game still uses American English!! And that, to be frank, pisses me off. But that's not the point. The point is...un-deux-GLACE!
    And now for something completely different: one of the minigames from Rhythm Thief has embedded part of itself in my head.

    HEAD! DOWN! HEAD! DOWN!
    *beat*
    UN-DEUX-GLACE!

    ...and I assure you, I will not be allowed to forget that, thanks to my scumbag brain.
    Said power, however, does not extend across the Storybook worlds-- hence why Badr's speech at the end of ToK sounded like untranslated Arabic. I guess, if anything was said to him in response, he'd hear it like they were speaking in runes, or something. I don't know-- more things to plan.
    *Mikau*

    His native language might be Hazaeian, but let's just say that he can communicate with the Arabian Nights people just fine as part of the Great Djinn's power to send him to that world. Equally, there would be no language barrier for Midnight or Ellie, since they were summoned by a similar power, into same world.
    YAY. Major character, or minor? Or just cameo?
    (Because I think it'd be nice to give him another turn in the spotlight, personally.)
    YARLY.

    And as I've been meaning to mention: I've been re-reading TWW, and drawing maps of each surface-world area. I've read as far as the point where they jump off Angel Island for the first time, so I've got completed the maps of the first two areas as far as possible. Yay. Which reminds me: is Raku going to appear in PiC? It'd help with my planning for PiC's second half.
    Wikipedia only lists the Japanese VAs, and I cba googling it, so I don't know. But on an aural level, at the very least, they sound alike.

    On a similar note: it's a good game.
    Hence why I'd like TEM and TL to progress, even if IYF is dying to the extent that I have to 'sell' your roles in it to keep it afloat.

    And as a direct result of my birthday, I've discovered that Raphael/Phantom R from Rhythm Thief & the Emperor's Treasure is like a French, red-haired, human Sly Cooper...but funky. Seriously, though, their voices are almost identical.
    YARLY. Like, if you had three guesses (or, actually, just the one), odd though it would seem, that would probably be the correct shipping partner.

    Meanwhile, I'd have been online sooner, but as you are contractually obliged to know, as m'colleague, today was (and still is) my birthday. So, in the words of chuggaa: I am Pikmin! Hear me MOO!
    Just to use TL as an example: Jet features in a ship that, on one hand, is unexpected, but on the other, is pretty predictable.
    Lovely. I'd say Ellie could allude to Poseidon Jet in PiC, but the events of PiC happen before Team Poseidon (or Middy, at least) meet him. Shame.

    If you'd post in TL and TEM, Jet features semi-importantly in both. IYF, however...I think all of Team Babylon die right at the start of the Games, so...there you go.
    Fascinating. As I said, Midnight's not the Olympic type. However, rest assured that if he were, his events, perhaps surprisingly, would be the arty ones-- figure skating, synchronised aquatic events, the rhythmic ribbon floor routine, and the trampoline. That sort of thing. But this isn't about my characters.
    Such fun. Clearly, it'd be hogging the international limelight (as well as being preposterous in terms of multitasking), were Midnight to attend the Olympics in his world as an athlete. As a result: no Olympics for him.
    (That's fair.)

    Apologies for the brb. I had to food and chastise a strawberry.
    What, as a spectator or an athlete? [/stupidquestionisstupid]
    (And wouldn't the 2016 Games be in Rio, since the 2018 Games would be the Winter Olympics never mind the fact that Wikipedia says that the Sochi Games are in 2014? Or is it a difference in scheduling between this 'verse and the Inferno-verse?)
    Must you be so difficult? I mean, really? I could rant and rave for ages about this, but that won't do us any favours, so I won't.

    A specific answer need not be shown in the posts; as long as it is made clear that Daz, being so obviously 'superior' to the Tritons, understands the physics of the puzzle, you could just make a few vague statements saying that he's moving some of the blocks.
