There weren't a lot of people in the Sweet Dream that were capable of manipulating the memoria like Mister Garth was. Without him, there would have been so many people caught between Penacony's reality and dream. The result of that would have most likely resulted in CHAOS.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤAnd who knows ? Maybe it was just because it was because he's lived in Penacony for so long. Maybe it was just because he himself spent so much time guiding people through the dreamscape. Or maybe it was SOMETHING ELSE entirely that made him feel attached to the planet. Penacony was his HOME after all.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤI'm sure if more people knew, they'd be IMPRESSED by what you do !ㅤ❜

Though it was in a truly complicated way that involved a mess of dreams and memoria, he technically WAS the one that drew all of those people, including the very Nameless he had originated from for to Penacony to save it. Just as his predecessor did, he would have done ANYTHING for the Planet of Festivities. Even if it meant coming back from the dead in a weird and convoluted way.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤMaybe he DID need a vacation. But just like the other Nameless, he would chip in and do his part in cleaning up their brand new airship.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤAfter all that time mopping up the vast halls of The Reverie until he could see his reflection, the former bellboy was a natural when it came to the polished wooden floors of Radiant Feldspar. His duties only come to a pause when the other approaches him with a QUESTION.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤWhat was THE WATCHMAKER like ?

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤIt was a question that came with a great weight; a story of tragedy and sorrow and yet filled with just as much love and happiness. Though little Misha had already come to terms with the TRUTH of it all, it was still a strange thing to think ofㅤ—ㅤthat aside from the spirit of the Trailblaze that they all carried, he was the last remaining piece of the Watchmaker's life left in the galaxy. He was serious about HONORING that legacy; easy to tell as he holds his mop still and thinks carefully, gathering up the memories of a life that was once his own.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤWellㅤ—ㅤThe Watchmaker was a KIND man. He cared deeply for his fellow Trailblazers and he adored the Conductor, even if he did love teasing them just as much ! He was a fantastic mechanic too and I know even now, some of his work is what's helping make the Astral Express run so well after all these years ! ㅤ❜

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤI'm certain you all know this by nowㅤ—ㅤbut he was INCREDIBLY selfless too. I'm sure he didn't really want to leave the Express nor the Conductor. He knew the people of Penacony needed him thoughㅤ—ㅤand he also knew that the Trailblaze would persist even if he departed. A lot of people in Penacony really LOVED him too ! Soㅤ—ㅤhe was a truly wonderful and respectable Nameless until the very end. ㅤ❜

"Considering we Nameless own the Feldspar, it means we all have to chip in. It wouldn't be fair to leave you to it alone."

If anything, Dan Heng liked cleaning. There was something meditative about mindless, menial tasks against such a stunning backdrop. More than that, much of him had been wanting to connect with Misha, the true legacy of the Watchmaker and a member of the Nameless who deserved a connection to the Express that his predecessor had left behind.

Cool fog from the clouds caressed his face as he decided instead to join Misha in taking a side, the mop lapping wetly as he lifted it from the bucket and began mopping in long, slow sweeps.

Just what did one speak about with the legacy of the Watchmaker? The state of Penacony? Anticipation of the journeys they were due to embark upon?

"For what it's worth, you technically had a hand in that, too. Maybe you're the one who needs a vacation most of all."

A small smile flitted to Dan Heng's features, hovering close but not crowding the youth. Still, curiosity weighed heavily.

"If... you don't mind my asking, what was he like? The Watchmaker, I mean."

꒰ྀི ✧ — Anonymous asked: I’m so salty we got told Misha wanted to join the Express and pursue Trailblazing only for them to pull a 180 on us and have him decide to ‘rest’ ( pass away ) after regaining his memories. It’s so unfair he spent time ‘growing up’ believing he could be like his grandpa and never got to reunite with Pom-Pom or anything before passing on. His visitor log saying he’s departed from the Express makes me SO sad.

I don’t like that he, Gallagher and Tingyun are playable characters that are all, as far as we know atm, dead. It feels weird being attached to them but having them not exist outside battles if that makes sense? :(

↳ -: ˚ʚ ( I guess we're critiquing H/onkai now ! ) ɞ˚ :-

I saw this in my discord notifs and I was like ' DID I JUST ANON MYSELF ? ' But anyway.

NO FOR REAL ! I used to OBSESSIVELY visit the Astral Express hoping Misha would be there and just immediately warp out if there was literally anyone else. Granted, there are other characters I like too but you know. Misha is very special which is why he's one of the primaries on this blog. Now I barely even visit the Express.

But no I 100% agree. From a story point, it's FANTASTIC and by far, Penacony was the best arc we got so far. The story of Misha and the Watchmaker is tragic and beautiful and one of the best things I've ever seen.

HOWEVER. You are right that Misha KIND OF SORT OF had his dream of Trailblazing ripped away from him with the realization that he is the Watchmaker. You can argue that he had his chance already with his life as Mikhail which YES, I will agree. I'll also agree that death is a VERY big theme in the Penacony arc.

But I'm certain that had the devs not been dead set on offing Misha, there were ways to give Mikhail a ' second chance ' as Misha ( well, a longer second chance ). I mean, look at K/ingdom Hearts and the 100 billion variants of S/ora / X/ehanort / etc ( and I haven't even played that series since the second game on literally the P/S2 ! ). Mikhail OBVIOUSLY died with a lot of regrets. The Dreamjoy Memoir event showed us that AND there's also literally a Y/outube video called ' The Sad and Gay Life of Mikhail Char Legwork ' ( that I still need to watch myself personally ). The man definitely deserved a second chance and H/OYO FUCKING TOOK THAT FROM US MAN.

But also us:

Also some rambling regarding recent leaks for future content below the read - more:

I did see some leaks however suggesting we are getting a 5-star Tingyun however which I'm personally excited for because I liked her character too.

So MAYBE.... IF WE BREATHE ENOUGH COPIUM.... WE'LL GET A FIVE STAR MIKHAIL. AND WE CAN THROW HIM IN A TEAM WITH MISHA AND GALLAGHER AND TRAILBLAZER.

     In the aftermath of the Stellaron crisis, Sampo's reputation underground was bolstered by what arguable were good deeds. Yes, inadvertently he set some things in motion, at least from the outsider's perspective. For every mistake that he supposedly made, the Fool had actually planned to somehow get the Astral Express crew to arrive at that point. Despite his sincere aid, he of course, is still Sampo Koski, looking to stir the pot in the less than serious moments. That and, well it was true that when you needed him most, he'd mysteriously be out of reach.

     As for the surface, well. He still had his contacts, his schemes. But being under fire in one setting despite being more or less trustworthy in another was hurting his brand. Was it so bad that he was wanting to return to a sense of normalcy ?  There's an argument to be made that he was just as much of a hero as the rest of them.

     He pointed to himself as if she could've been referring to anyone else in the area.   ❝ Oh, I'm still wanted ?  That's a shame... ❞  He cupped his chin as he studied the officer before him. How young was she anyways ?  She carried herself with confidence yet she wasn't jumping straight into arranging for his arrest...  ❝ I helped out the outsiders, y'know. The Nameless ?  You know those guys, right ?  But I prefer helping out in the wings, they deserved their time in the spotlight, after all. ❞  Wordy talk, meant to eat up whatever time he might've had left before potentially needing to break into a sprint.

          ❝ I was fighting the good fight, honest !  I just got caught up in some... Questionable things. I know doing one good deed doesn't fix everything, but what if I made a plan going forward ?  ❞
