Welcome back dear readers! Once again, I, your beloved avatar of justice, am here to guide you through another week in the life of the RPGDL! It's semi-finals week here, and only the best fighters in the season have made it this far: who will get a shot at a championship, and who will fade into obscurity? Only you can decide that, dear readers! First off, I'd like to direct you to the Results Page for week three. Did Kain get the jump on MOMO? Did Meis get some action with Sofia? And did Admiral Ramirez make a visit to China Wok? All these answers and more await you inside, dear readers! With that out of the way, I'd like to direct your attention to the Arena for Week Four. In Light, legendary Mana Knight Randi faces off against Light's resident expert on multiple personalities, in what is sure to be one of Light's best matches in several seasons! In Middle, Greater Devil Zalbard readies himself as he goes to battle an evil slaying knight bent on ridding Middle of its demonic infestation. In Heavy, Ramsus laughs as he faces yet another swordsman, but will he be laughing in stitches after the fight? And in godlike, it's an old fashion battle of swords vs. sorcery, as Admiral Ramirez faces off against renowned wiseman Rashidi. That's not all, though: make sure you head on over and check it all out. And as always, run over and check out the RPG Strategy League! What happened with the final showdown between the DLDF and the Horde last week? Is Lloyd alive and still plotting revenge? The only way to find out is to check it out for yourself, dear reader! Oh, and don't forget to check out the RPGDL Forums, while you're here! We've got a great, friendly community of RPG-goers who are always eager to talk, debate and have a great time. Don't be shy: get involved! Now, I'd like to turn things over to Ms. Madison, who will be taking you on yet another Behind the Scenes adventure...: Er…welcome back to yet another episode of Behind the Scenes! How was that? Eh, don’t sound so happy. A little too much on the happy side makes you a poster-child for the Fab Five. Hah, Fab Five! Good stuff. Er…explain to me why we’re doing this again? Remember what happened last time we took over the show? Oh, we’re not taking over the show… What’s this about taking over the show? It was Morte’s idea! Bah, you’ve got less of a backbone than me, kid. We’ve just been practicing in the unfortunate circumstance that you happen to die. Nothing more. The show’s just gotta’ go on, kid. Well, as long as you’re not actually planning my death, I suppose that’s ok. See? A little understanding goes a long way. Whatever. Cameras on, Ultros. Welcome back to Behind the Scenes, only here at the RPGDL! I’m your host, Chisato Madison, and I’m here to give you in-depth interviews of the week’s most prominent contestants! So let’s get started: our first guests tonight hail from Light, please welcome Mana Knight Randi and Mallow the tadpole! I won! I showed you, Mr. Lord of the Gods! Yeah, and I lost one large chunk of change to that stupid little Mogay. Now I have to eat from the trashcan this week, you little brat! If it’s any consolation, you can eat out of my trashcan if you’d like: Jean's use of insects in his meals is a little unappetizing for me, but I'm sure you'd like it. Anyway, Randi, do you think you can take down Lufia this week? Of course I can! I’m the Mana Knight, after all! When will you get it through your thick head that being a legendary hero doesn’t matter in the RPGDL if you completely suck? It’s just a title, kid, nothing more. …*sniff* Hah! Nice one, skull boy. Not again…you do realize we have to pay for emotional damages we incur during these interviews? This is coming out of your paycheck… She got ya' skull boy! …Odin! …crap. Anyway, Mallow…you don’t look like a Tadpole at all. You look like a huge marshmallow. Mmmmm….marshmallow. But…I really tried…*sniff*…wwwwaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!! Now the little puffball is crying. Wow, what is with these pathetic Lights crying each episode? Er…hey, it just started raining. No! My windows are down, and I just had my interior re-done! I’ll be back! …huh, that’s convenient. Shall we, Morte? Damn straight. So let’s bring out our Middle guests….a Suikoden ninja and a Suikoden knight? Bah, why bother? Er…they are out there, and they are signed up for an interview… But we’ve had plenty of Suikoden filler already…no reason to add any more. Er…we need to do something for Middle at least, or we’ll finish too early, and if Chisato were to find out about that, we’d be in big trouble. Bah…fine. Bring out the Suikoden freaks. That took a whil… Hush, girlie. Now, Miss stealthy, tell me what exactly you can do. You’re a ninja, I understand, but…wait, a female ninja? Yes, I’m a girl. Your problem? …moving on… Wait, that’s all I get? Some chauvinistic remark, and that’s it? Welcome to the real world, girlie. So Borus…you know what, I’m not even going to continue. Why not? I deserve an interview too. Because it would all degenerate into a back and forth discussion over your preferences in companionship, filled with beating around the bush and loads of boring exposition. Frankly, we don’t have the budget nor do I have the attention span for that. What’s wrong with Percival? …exactly. Odin, bring in the next guests…I need something for my headache. Right. Fear me mortals, for I am the omnipotent god and lord of the Aesir, Odin! Our foolish Heavy guests for tonight hail from Xenogears and Dragon Warrior Four, please welcome Trash…er…Ramsus…and Sofia! Er…what is it with Chisato booking silent characters? Doesn’t that kind of defeat the whole purpose of having an interview? Budget cutbacks, I suppose. Anyway, Mr. Ramsus…can I call you Trash? *twitch* No… Ok then. So Trash, it looks like you’ve got an easy match this week, in that you’re fighting yet another swordsman, your favourite game. Is it all luck? No! It’s not luck! I’ll prove myself to be better than him by taking a championship if I have to; I’m not Trash! I’m not Trash! Hey, I just heard someone yell Trash’s name. Is it taunting time? You bet. Er…are you sure that’s wise? He may be the perfect human, but I think he’s a little mentally unstable. Nah, it’s all fun. Here little Trashy Trash! …trash….trash….kill… Woah there…watch where you poke that thing. Hey…aw crap, why is it always me who gets threatened with death? Because you’re expendable, that’s why. Chisato….wow, you look like you just came from a college frat party. Raining kind of hard out there? Er… Train the cameras off my chest, please. Where are we in the interviews now? Er…we still have Sofia up to do. Oh goodie. This is why I love booking silent characters: makes the day go so much faster. Er…isn’t is also really boring? No, just watch. So Sofia, what’s new? … Fascinating. So, he’s really different on the inside? … Wow. Well, thanks for the insight. Er…what did she say? Beats me, but silence is a lot easier to deal with than back-talking paperweight sidekicks. Er…shall we call in the last guests? Good idea. Our last two guests for tonight are Admiral Ramirez and Virgil, hailing from Skies of Arcadia and Xenosaga respectively. Welcome, both of you. Apparently you still don’t comprehend Lord Galcian’s genius, you foolish human. Genius? Don’t make me laugh. That guy was a fool; all he did was get himself killed by some love-struck woman in a battleship. Hardly what I’d call genius. You dare insult the memory of the greatest man to ever live? He would have united the world! But you foolish humans killed him! Er…why do I see a fight coming on? Probably because there’s always a fight on this show? We haven’t had one for two weeks; don’t jinx us. How dare you insult his grand scheme! It was brilliant and masterfully executed! Please…you really know nothing about grand schemes, do you? Just wait until Xenosaga Three…then you’ll see what a truly masterful scheme is. Looks like we don’t need any jinxing. I will not have you two fighting on my show! Shut it, little lady. This is far out of your reach, woman. Die for insulting Lord Galcian! Er…got any plans? I say shut the cameras off, and get the hell out of here. That sounds like a good idea; any more violence will kick us up to a R rating. Er…righto then. What did I say about that overly positive attitude, calamari kid? Anyway…well, thanks for tuning in to Behind the Scenes once again, dear readers. Tune in next week, when we’re back interviewing this season’s finalists. Thank you, and good night. Trash…not Trash…Trash…not Trash! Help!
