Tiiired...

Just bought the three Mario & Luigi games on a whim. It started as frustration over not being able to find a working Superstar Saga rom for hours last night, and then not being able to get past the level up screen... And now I've got Superstar Saga, Partners in Time, and Bowser's Inside Story coming in next week.

It's kinda dangerous, buying video games on a whim. :|;;

I finished a new drabble for my Silverberg storyline, but I'm not happy with how clunky the action writing is. I can do one-on-one fights, but multiple attackers versus one is awkward. I kinda just want it finished so I have the setting in place; I intend to use the Grasslands for at least three other drabbles, though I only have vague plot ideas right now. Gotta get Caesar and Hugo's reunion in there somehow.


So Leon's now got two castmates. He'll be excited, but I also imagine he'll be a little grumpy that he has to rearrange his lab to make room for them. But now I'm presuming they'll all room together. :|; He made some talk with Link about going into the mountains, and now having Claude and Ashton around will give him a little more confidence to go out there. What he'll find in the old base ruins, though... Uh. We'll see. I think Lymle disappearing will be the most significant disappearance for him since Ahiru; he'll probably be down when he realizes he can't introduce her to his friends.

Walter is not getting out there enough. He's been sick, but I reeeeally need to get him more active. It's difficult because he doesn't like to talk or get out there, especially since it's winter. Come spring time? He'll be outside and doing things again. Maybe he can work on something for the house for Fenimore and Shirley? He's probably a little claustrophobic after being indoors for so long.

Albert... Hahahaha. :| He's "withdrawing" more, which is weird for him in that he stays out of his house instead of becoming more of a shut-in. (He's got his reasons.) He knows very well that he's walking the thin line of helping out the other people against Yuber and screwing himself over by getting 'his summon' killed. The recent arrivals from people of his time period, plus Yuber's killing of Vash so soon after their arrival, threatens his ability to convince the new arrivals that he isn't a threat. (More so Lilly than Nash, since Lilly's a whiny, stubborn brat. At least Nash thinks in gray areas and benefits.) Aaand a lucetilocked post will be coming around sometime soon.



And I'll end with a meme I ganked. :|b

Reply to this post, and I'll tell you one reason why I like you. Then put this in your own journal, and spread the love.

Of course. Hmm, I'd have to look back on the post, but did Yuber attack first? If Yuber attacks first with Sora too, Albert's gonna be all :| with him.

Here's the kicker: My brother doesn't do trade-ins. ...In fact, I don't think anyone in my family really does trade-ins. We've got old NES and Atari games rotting away somewhere. >_>

Awww. You know you care, Caesar! You can't stay mad at him just because he dies or something! Luceti's the land of impermanence!

But scandalous art is delicious. :|

I spent the last half hour researching the Mario games you mentioned. That's half an hour I'll never get back, but now I know what games I'm getting this weekend. |D

And my younger brother yells at me whenever I impulse-buy games! It's sad, because we can get games really cheap here, so I just keep getting and getting new ones, forgetting that I don't exactly have the time to play them all... :I

Actually, the recording for the attack on Vash started in the middle of the battle and the cause for the recording was Vash attacking. So basically the recording did open with Vash attacking, but Yuber attacked first like he nearly always does.

And isn't Albert always :|? How is that going to be any different from the other times they have spoken?

[identity profile] herrjustice.livejournal.com 2010-01-14 10:14 am (UTC)(link)
What. That's awesome. Except for the whole "taking up space" thing, I guess. xD

But dying would lead to more negative thoughts. He'd start being ridiculous, like, "What if this is the one time someone doesn't come back? Then I'll really hate him! ;_;" And just feel bad until he does.

...it really, really is. I cannot deny this. :|;;

Is it a BIG box, at least? A big, stylish, eye-catching box?

That must be why Dominguez flies off with Nash's money. He knows. And hey hey, it's not really Albert's fault! It's Luc's! He even bitchslapped Nash with his magic!

It's funny how two of the most secretive characters in the game can just drink and chat so casually. Makes you wonder how they traded information during the war.

[identity profile] daathic.livejournal.com 2010-01-14 10:35 am (UTC)(link)
It's the "taking up space" bit that's not awesome, yeah. XD;

Awww. And it'd be absolutely hideous if Albert died and his death penalty was not remembering Caesar.

I will have to throw more scandalous art your way, then. :| And you should make an icon out of Caesar freaking out over being naked. *whistles innocently*

Actually I have several boxes. They come from IKEA. Land of ice and snow.

Sure, go blaming the other Destroyers. I mean, it's not like Albert was technically under Harmonia's employ the whole time, oh wait. But I imagine when/if Albert bitchslaps, it is not with magic, though skillset implies that he still taught Luc some things about how to use a wind rune.

Yes, how did they exchange information during the war? So secretive, even the game could not show us.

I know all about things taking up space. It would explain my room. :|a

A-aww man. Caesar'd be devastated. I don't think he'd know what to do. I'd hate to be Hugo, though. Or Albert, even. |D

I would be very tolerant of this. :| And pfft, I'd like, never be able to use that, ever. ...or will I? /opens up Photoshop

[identity profile] daathic.livejournal.com 2010-01-14 11:18 am (UTC)(link)
Albert: Why is this person I don't even know angry at me? :|
Caesar: *stomps off to cry/scream at Hugo*

I will definitely keep this in mind. *looks at doujin that is almost completely scandalous* :|; You never know! We could have a crack experiment where that happens!

Ahiru was well-loved, Griff. >> You know it's true. :|b

For the meme: I like how it's easy to discuss RP and fandom with you; sometimes I feel awkward talking RP with others one-on-one, so I really appreciate that.

[identity profile] greyangel.livejournal.com 2010-01-14 12:24 pm (UTC)(link)
I do prefer handhelds, really the only thing keeping me from probably gamespamming with those is the fact that I still don't know where my DS is or if it's even in the house anymore. So it's more of "do I buy a new one? do I wait? cast money out for a psp?" and borrow from my siblings when I can but they're pretty possessive for kids who used to take my games all the time. :| Any recommendations?

I know how you feel about buying video games on a whim -- I'll stalk games for months, and then finally break down and buy it when my budget would probably be better if I had been patient for just a little longer...

For Walter: I think all the Ferines are feeling a little claustrophobic at this point, much to Senel's irritation, pfft. And working on the house could be interesting. What did you have in mind?

[identity profile] herrjustice.livejournal.com 2010-01-14 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Albert would be harassed beyond belief. And poor Hugo. He'd probably just listen to him whine until Caesar eventually got tired and fell asleep.

Ohh my. This should be fun. :|a Hmm, that's true. And if there's an icon for it, that's all the more reason to make it happen. /colors the magical girl ones too, ffff

[identity profile] daathic.livejournal.com 2010-01-15 02:55 am (UTC)(link)
Oh yes, IKEA. We have a lot of IKEA furniture.

I maintain that Albert's intentions are so unknown that we have no idea what the reasoning behind it all really is. I mean, just look at the manga! ...Albert's skillset is hilarious. "Oh, Sarah, you've bought a new rune? Let me teach you how to use it!"

Clearly, they used telepathy.

[identity profile] yo-san.livejournal.com 2010-01-15 04:11 am (UTC)(link)
Clearly I should throw Fenimore at one of Luceti's psychopaths in order to give Walter something to do. ...Wait, I think I've made this joke sometime before. Or I could poke Silvie into doing it with Shirley so that Walter can have a dealing-with-having-a-heart-attack subplot. (More seriously, Silvie has scooped my question of "what kind of thing for the house?")

So Albert's becoming a shut-out? *ba-dum...tish?* ...I got nothin'. Still, I'm curious about these reasons you speak of, but I imagine that you'd rather me just pay attention and figure them out for myself.

[identity profile] daathic.livejournal.com 2010-01-15 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
Nice! I'm a little surprised they're not known, since there's three games now. Buuut there's a ton of Mario games, so I guess I'm not too surprised.

Ouch, your younger brother? :|; It's my older brother who gets annoyed -- and it's more with my younger brother, who impulse-buys a lot more than me.

For the meme: We don't chat much, but I can tell you're nice from when we have talked. Your art is adorable, too!

[identity profile] daathic.livejournal.com 2010-01-15 06:16 am (UTC)(link)
I admire the fact that you've been a teacher for so long and that you know what to do in your various situations. Reading your experiences as a teacher have given me a different perspective to what teachers I've known had to go through when their students were chaotic.

[identity profile] daathic.livejournal.com 2010-01-15 06:47 am (UTC)(link)
See icon for response to icon. :|

Weeell, I don't think I need to go into too much detail for the meme. :P I like that you've known me long enough to know so many different sides of me. You know by now that it takes me awhile to get comfortable enough to do things. I mean, the fact that I've shared ridiculously-detailed smut writing with you? Pfft. And let's not get started on people not realizing I'm such a perv... :|

Is his less-than-full rank symbolic of his no doubt condescending teaching style??

I think I'm going to have to set up a psychic permissions post.

[identity profile] nata-de-coco.livejournal.com 2010-01-15 06:54 am (UTC)(link)
See icon in response to icon in response to icon. :')

Haha we haven't perved together in forever. WE SHOULD FIX THIS, CLEARLY.

...I remember that I was :|ing at you and that the icon said it better than words but now I don't remember why I was :|ing at you. Um.

[identity profile] daathic.livejournal.com 2010-01-15 04:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Hahaha, that's the worst. :( Knowing you should wait, but just giving in to impatience. That's exactly why I "deprive" myself by not looking up games and new releases.

I actually had nothing in mind for Walter. I suppose, if I wanted to go down the tedious-and-pointless route, he could try to reroute water from the nearby river to form a little moat around the house a la Musette's ToDR house. Even smaller things like a bookshelf or table would give him something to do.

For the meme: You are totally the Legendia guru to me. I enjoy plotting with you (and Kukki and Yosh, when it happens) because the Legendia fandom is so tiny and excited; I think the size of the fandom makes it that much more of an event when the world/culture/anything else can be discussed. >>;

[identity profile] daathic.livejournal.com 2010-01-15 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
The very idea of throwing Fenimore at one of Luceti's psychopaths gave me the horrible mental image of Fenimore doing that on a regular basis and giving Walter a freaking aneurysm in the process. In cases like that, it'd be safer to lock the victim up and let the psychopath run free!

Well, it's a little subtle, but Albert's aware that the more time he spends cooped up in the house with Raine, the more likely it is that their conversations will lead to the topic of his world and certain people there. So he wants to avoid those talks. He's also being a little more visible so he can have some meetings completely off the journals. ...That probably wouldn't be as significant if he didn't have those hermit-like tendencies.
