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.

I LOVE Superstar Saga. it is the handheld game that I always recommend to people as long as they don't mind turn-based gaming with active participation. it's so cute and Mario and Luigi are just too funny together. oh Luigi

*looks at last month's acquisition of Star Ocean 4, Tales of Versus, and Tales of Hearts*

...Yes, yes it is.

I could give Walter another random job with someone.

lol video games. Sounds like you'll have stuff to keep you busy. I haven't bought one for myself since ... Suikoden III, I don't think. :|;; I only played Partners in Time because that's the one my brother owns. Probably will play the others when he gets them in.

I know well the dangers of impulse videogame buying. It's how I have 10 DS games I've yet to play. Somehow. (I maintain they were worthwhile purchases.)

And Nash isn't planning on telling anyone much of anything. It's not really in his interest to turn everyone against Albert. Lilly, though...

I haven't played any of those. As a Mario fan, I must ask how they are.

I imagine playing someone like Walter is indeed a pain in the butt because of how much he hates most of the people around from what I've seen of him. The shoveling snow off the roof post was kind of funny though.

And you also know full well that Yuber has been behaving, for a bloodthirsty demon. And yeah, Lilly is a pain in the butt, but don't forget about Sasarai. He told Luffy to seek out a man named Silverberg.

And well, let's not get into impulse video game buying with me. I have a very large pile of games I haven't played yet.

I definitely buy video games impulsively. I hate it. I have so many games I've never, ever played. Or games that I've never finished because I just keep buying. :|;

I was debating whether or not Caesar would understand the kind of trouble his brother would be in if Yuber died. |D He'd probably assume there's some kind of connection but I fear his reaction if it turned out to be something more.

You make me miss Ahiru more and more, 'Thena.

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

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?

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.
