talkingsoupTales of the Abyss has pretty much slayed Julie and I. It started out as this campy and kind of whatev game. Then it started getting all political and the storyline got a shitload more complex. And now it's become this emotionally-charged, super-complicated game full of questionable ethics and moral dilemmas and oh-my-God-awesomeness. I never expected it to get so intense. And I like the main character a lot more now.
The RP has likewise gotten crazy-intense and awesome.
Also, finally managed to read Tammy's "Terrier," since we had it for ARF (my independent study, in which we read sci-fi/fantasy all. the. time). It's definitely my favorite of Tammy's books (though I think I still like the Emelan world better). Beka is awesome. The language is awesome (I still find myself thinking in the slang). It was somewhat trying since I ended up staying up till 4:30 to finish it. But it was so worth it. Brilliant on all accounts.
CNS has apparently been repaired, maybe? ASIC is back there, though there's been no word about my classes.
Also, Mot is going swimmingly.
More TotA now, kthxbye.

Oh, I know. As Virginia Wolf said, the death of the visionary character has the most impact. They have the whole martyr thing going on. I liked how they did it, though. It was so sudden and "oh fuck!" like it is in real life when someone dies...
Heavens no! I've actually only seen up to just where we stopped. Lol, I cheated and watched episodes when I was bored in Florida. But I decided to hold out for ASIC just after Nia showed up. (I hear she ends up not being a Mary Sue, so I'm looking forward to that.)

Lol, you have no idea how many times I've had to switch between usernames in the past while. Logout, login, logout, login...

Why, the RP? Well, you could just ignore me, lol.
