I’m not dead! :DDD

This is chapter one (i.e. short story #1): Roxas in Virtual Twilight Town. Parts of this chapter are reflected in Chapter 6 of this book, and also in Somewhere in Time (if you squint), which is the main reason I decided to go ahead and translate the whole thing. Yes, the TWTN Gang are adorable, but minigames in novel form = teeth grindingly boring to translate. (He jumped off a roof! He ran! He stuck a poster up! Ad infinitum! GAAH) It’s not so boring to read, I hope >___>;

Also, the binary code line breaks are artistic licence on my part, i.e. they don’t appear in the novels. someone actually decipher it xoxox

‘Kingdom Hearts 2: Short Stories Vol. 2 Axel—Seven Days’

Written by: Kanemaki Tomoco (not me.)

Original Plan: Nomura Tetsuya and Nojima Kazushige (not me.)

Any questions, comments, please go ahead!

( Chapter 1: Let's go to the Sea )

I keep getting emails from people asking me about the other chapters, so:

CHAPTER 1: Let’s go to the sea (DONE)

CHAPTER 2: The nightmare before Christmas (NOT DOING)

CHAPTER 3: Pride land (NOT DOING)

CHAPTER 4: Phantom storm (ON TO-DO LIST): a cute and random short story about Sora, Donald and Goofy in the gummi ship

CHAPTER 5: Last minute to the castle oblivion (DONE)

CHAPTER 6: Axel—Seven days (DONE)

If you want to know what happens in Chapters 2 and 3, go play the Halloween Town and Pride Lands levels in KHII. I’ve read them, and that’s all they are, I swear. Personally, I think it would be a waste of time and effort for me to do them. But, if for whatever reason you REALLY need me to do them, I’ll put them on the to-do list. But if no one requests, I’m not even thinking of doing them ever.

Once I’ve done chapter 4, I’ll figure out how to make a sticky post with links to them and have it all nice. Though,ucco already has them all pretty up on heartstation anyway. <3
