[Today we have one grinning young man waving at the feed. It hasn't really dawned on him that he's gonna be turning eighteen soon. That's way too weird to think about. Besides, it's summer, and he's got other things to talk about! Starting with...]

Hey, guys. I see we're getting lots of New Feathers, so I thought I'd go ahead and say welcome! Hope Luceti's not too crazy for you. Believe me when I say it gets better the longer you stick around.

Anyway, since it's summer and all, I was wondering... See, before I came here, I went to this world called Disney Town, and they had all kinds of cool games. There was this one called Ice Cream Beat where I got to shoot scoops of ice cream to the beats of this really catchy song. A while back, Roxas and I thought about doing something similar here, but since he left, that idea's kinda been sitting around, collecting dust.

[He pauses for a moment, rubbing the back of his neck. That's kinda his fault.]

Anyway, I was wondering if there's anyone who could make that kinda machine for real. I've already got something running in the battle dome, along with a Fruit Ball court, but I dunno. It might be fun to set something up in the square someday. Maybe when it's not so foggy. If anyone's got giant pieces of fruit lying anywhere, we could probably put up Fruit Ball too, but I've got a feeling that'll be even tougher.

[Heh. And one last point...]

By the way, I know I mentioned him before, but if you guys see someone named Kohan, could you maybe say hi to him? He still doesn't have a lot of friends, and I'm really trying to fix that. And uh... like I said before, he's got silver hair, black streaks, kinda grumpy sometimes, but I swear he's a nice guy.

I guess that would be kinda tricky. Wonder how many hoses they've got around here...

[Hmm, a hose would definitely help.]

But as far as I can tell, they had those games going every time I dropped by, plus another really cool game called Rumble Racing.

[Well, this newly-mentioned game doesn't sound messy by comparison.]

Yeah? What's that one like? Some sort of race course?

Yup! That's exactly what it is. I'd say it's probably the most straightforward game they had there. Just a fast-paced race to the finish.

[And he even got to use his Keyblade Glider!]

'Course, a game like that'd be a battle dome only kinda thing, since we can't use vehicles out here.

Hey, I wouldn't mind an excuse to try out a vehicle simulator in the battle dome again. I think the last time I did anything with a vehicle simulator was for that space draft months ago.

[...] Or maybe I'm just more fond of eating ice cream than shooting it at things. Even if the music part sounds ... different.

I could try setting up a Rumble Racing track sometime. Maybe throw in a few extra obstacles just to ramp up the challenge a bit.

[After all, a challenge might freshen up the experience.]

And believe me, the music part's probably the trickiest part of the game. Some of the songs get really intense!

I'm not familiar with music games in general. Music has always been, you know, an art more than something to apply to games. That may be part of it.

[But that wasn't to say he wasn't interested in trying something new.]

If you do set up a racing track, I'd like to see it. Maybe you can show some examples of what people were racing around in, too.

Hey, I get that. It was pretty new to me, too, but a lot of things were for a while. That's what happens when you spend years cooped up with just four people.

[Not that he minded his home.]

Anyway, I'll see what I can set up! It's been a few years now, but I think I can at least try to recreate all the vehicles.

Great, I can't wait to see what it looks like! That Ice Cream Beat thing, too -- I'd, uh, like to at least see how it was set up when you first saw it.
