As a replacement for actual interesting posts (read: life updates and such) I am posting about something that gets me excited in a dorky way.

Namely getting Talliska to circle 50 in DR. :D It actually surprised me mainly because I had no idea the DR GMs watch for people getting milestone circles. Interesting!!

(My hubby just nuzzled me because he thought my excitement was cute. Hee.)

Another dorky tidbit: Jon and I bought Ace Attorney Investigations and are on the final case. This game is a lot of fun! Yay for Ace Attorney.

Anyway, here's the DR log of Talli getting her circle. :3

I'm SO worn out lately... Just churning out these recruiting lessons for the White Rose over and over. :x

I've written and tested 6 out of 7. Of course, I won't take all the credit, Samarah has done plenty of work on her part as well. She's writing the scripted versions, I'm writing the notes versions. Sometimes our opinions on how lessons are arranged differ slightly; that means I have to do more writing to arrange it as I see fit.

I have never done so much work for a Dragonrealms organization in my LIFE until now. I bet you COLLEGE will be easier. *smirks* But I love what I'm doing because the Order needs the foundation of the recruiting program. Even if I or Samarah are gone, other people can take what we've written down and do good things with it.

Sure it's just a game. But... it's a GOOD game. And I'm even learning good teamwork, writing and editing skills. So it can't all be bad!

With my next bit of news, though, I've entered a whole new level of DR crazy.

But I'm sitting here playing DR on the new year. Yeah, I'm a dork. Jon and I have our hotel reservation and stuff, though! We just wanted to do it post holiday so it wouldn't be too crazy outside. I'm not one for loud noises and crowds. :(

Talli is circle 44 now. Flying through the ranks with my improved scripts (need to write a short bow one now!) In fact I've been scripting all day while beating my head over this horribly difficult post in Soul Collectors which I FINALLY finished. x.x I am seriously hating Exalted combat right now. I either need to be better organized, or White Wolf needs to stop having rules for similar concepts (i.e. mutations, undead, etc.) spread over TOO MANY different books.

On the other hand Selina said she might run a FFT game and let me play a viera in it. Sounds fun. We are both going to be busy with college entry stuff this Jan, though. Ugh, not looking forward to it, I've been procrastinating this time around because of how discouraged I felt last time I applied but couldn't go. I intend to send before Jan 15 though, one way or another. I just hope they won't need more of my transcripts. Gah.

We're gonna have fondue and booze now, so... woo! (AND I'm going to try and sneak a couple more posts in before then. I wanted to do them before but that Soul Collectors post just KILLED all my time.)

This is a document I've been working on for the Order. It's a rough draft and likely needs correcting. It may not even be any use to anyone besides myself. It's not meant to give to recruits, more as a collection of info Talliska will cover with them face to face, possibly over multiple interactions.

I am posting it in its current state just 'cause I sat here and worked on it long enough that I might as well share it! :P

EDIT: Updated with more Empire history. Read more to see.

Jon and I never actually even cooked our dinner. We got sleepy midday and just snoooored our way through the day. Kind of sad! But turkey and potatoes and yule log are on for later today!

I totally got Talliska to circle 42 on Christmas Eve though. Also went looking at a Dragonrealms fest with some of Talli's in game friends. That was a lot of fun. :)

I'm a dork for being on DR on Christmas Eve. I was on RPoL too, handing out holiday bonuses in a couple of my games. n.n While tallying up the experience, I I wrote and tested the most amazing script ever to help Talliska train hiding and stalking. Now I can finally get those two skills to catch up to my other survivals. It's truly epic. :3 And I'll need it, my dream title for Talli is "Penumbra" which takes 400 hide/stalk. Such a long way off! ;.;

Though I'm proud that Talli now has Trailmaster (175 scouting) - that took quite a bit of work to achieve!

Lastly, I'm in love with Kokia's album The Voice. I'm not big on her pop albums, but I LOVE when she goes for more 'new age' style musicI got me some mp3s, only because I have no way of getting a hard copy any time soon and was so eager to hear it. It's definitely on my "to buy" list though!
