Like the title says... I got Jon to buy me fig newtons, and I am eating them. <3 (random~!)
Anyway, I ran ED today, and it went fairly well. I shouldn't get so enamored at my NPCs, but I liked portraying Jackal for Milena. His methods may not be good for the Realm in the long run, but he certainly thinks they are. Well, he's just one of those stubborn-to-a-fault Sids, I guess!
Milena's scene needs to continue sooner or later, I never got to bring out Elyssa. ;.;
Lim and Valeriya got more Vermillion talk and I sure hope that I didn't reveal so much the rest of the game is pointless. I don't think so though, since even without those revelations there is still plenty that can happen in the Realm to give PCs something to do. Besides that, they have to actually figure what to do with that knowledge, if anything.
I wanna be done with this part of the game by the end of the month though! *pushpushpush* Even though I'm not sure how to follow up, cause it feels rather anticlimactic to reveal big stuff like this and end up running a party right after. Then again, the party is to intro Grey's char and give Milena some social stuff to do, also.
Plus I suppose I could put in some House tension and make it more broadly related to the plot, maybe. (I amuse myself running social Realm stuff. Just putting in random NPCs, coming up with their rivalries and relations and petty gossip and dirty secrets, while trying to make it relevant to current events. Dunno, it's fun!)
But now I get rest. :D I am always happy when I can run stuff without horrible anxiety coming up at some point in the day. Needs less anxiety!
Mmm, what else have I been up to these past few days? Not much actually. Mostly just other RP, and not much -- played a bit of Wardragon mini with Kraken, and a bit more of Selina's 1890's game.
I've been talking to Selina lately about Clarissa, my chara in her game, and got her to agree with a few changes that may start helping me feel more comfortable playing her. Also, may help me not step on other chars' toes as much. Like I said to Selina, I wanted Clarissa to have more of a formally educated, "book learning" sort of concept. Besides, I actually don't mind PCs rolling higher on occult stuff than Clarissa -- I just wanted Clarissa to actually know sorcery, having studied it at university level. I still have her roll on occult lore type things, though, 'cause I think she'd still try to analyze it herself, even if she can't figure stuff out as instinctively as, say, Jack does.
So I ended up giving Clarissa more lore and also altering her hearthstone to better reflect a woman with a lot of general knowledge but not necessarily *applied*. Eventually I want to get the Sid lore charms that let you exceed specialties and stuff, too. I'm definitely keen on improving her image as a learned woman, and that'll put her in a more unique direction, I think!
Been playing PSU a good amount, too (including a 10 mission run on Saturday, that was great! Playing with Jim and Rin and sis, yay.) I'm getting into it more again because I really like the Guardian Burst Road stuff. Basically, GBR specifies a set of missions to run, and every time you run the whole set you get additional bonuses to things like drop rate, mission point gain, and exp gain for the next time you go through them. And unlike I believed originally, the bonuses are actually saved for each set (you only start at 0 again when a new set of missions is announced).
Also, I synthed more stuff :D Actually, my playing more PSU is directly related to running Sakura Blast S and finding a Gizaha-zashi board. *droooool* 10* twin daggers! With feather effects! That look like wings! I feel like a kid just playing with them. XD
I even have a second Crea Doubles now. 24% earth (the other is 24% dark). I am so awesome. :O
The only thing is that I need to be fighgunner to use both of those weapons. ;.; And I had my heart set on training up fortegunner to 15, also, before going back to one of my old classes (I managed to max fighgunner, guntecher and fortefighter! I have too much time on my hands! o.O) So, Reina is a gunner now, though it's taking some adjustment after building up all that strength and survivability as a fortefighter. Also, trying to remember "SEs are important!" and the appropriate times to use various guns.
I still love shotguns best, though. :D Yay for shotguns! If they could be strafed with, and properly aimed upward, then shotguns would rule ALL! I don't like using rifle though. ;.; (Sorry Jon!) I want bows. But, that's why I trained guntecher before fortegunner, I guess!
Poor Tabula Rasa, it will be so neglected now. But, the game keeps freaking crashing on my computer (besides the whole "dunno if I can keep up with another MMO" issue). I think I might actually benefit from waiting till I upgrade my computer and reactivating then, 'cause it'd be nice to have graphics/textures that don't look like utter crap. Course, that doesn't change my time problem... oh well. :/
Rawr, think I'm going to probably sleep early (earlier), Jon and I wanna go out tomorrow. We need to get new chairs. Man. Our computer chairs got brizoken! :P
