Oh no! It’s already Monday! Fortunately it’s almost Tuesday. But I hate Tuesday! Gahh! Let’s savor Monday I guess.
So there’s a bridge that separates the south part of the city from the central part. It’s under construction. The trip from my place to Les Dés Truqués goes across this bridge and normally takes from five to ten minutes by bus. A quick jaunt. The construction over the weekend made it so the bus couldn’t pass through in a timely fashion. So we went the long way around and down through Grand’Mere (another part of the city to the north). So what should have been a five minute trip was more like an hour and five minutes trip. Thank goodness I had my phone to keep me entertained. A book would have done the trick too…had I known to bring one.
We started a new campaign game: Aeon’s End: Legacy. It’s started out a LOT easier than the standard game of Aeon’s End normally is. We breezed through the first two chapters. In a legacy game, things evolve as you play. You add stickers and “destroy” bits you’ll no longer use. So our characters are all blank slates. We even get to name them and all their abilities. I took this huge bearded guy who’s got this portable battering ram as a weapon. I thought a nifty name for him would be Brahms and his beat stick would be the Lullaby (he puts you to sleep with it). But one of the main NPCs is named Brama and that was just too close to Brahms. So I changed my character’s name to Chopin. The Lullaby isn’t nearly as clever of a name, but I kept it anyway. I’m going with a musical theme for all his powers. The next power I named Requiem. I’m amusing myself.
I started work on the next theme for mash-ups. I would have gone with Cardcaptor Sakura, but I didn’t want to go straight to another anime theme right away. I had a hard time thinking of something new to do. I came across an ad for Final Fantasy games and thought I could tackle another game in the series. I’ve already done my favorite (IX) so it’s time for my next favorite, Final Fantasy VI, or III as it was known in North America when it was released. I’ve drawn the first piece and it’s…okay. I think I’ll get better as I go.
That’s all for this week. Have a good seven and we’ll do this all again next Monday. Carja V.
