Source: SJ, SMT DR
Rating: G
Pairings: Mastema/Zelenin (adarkerangel/secular_saint)
Warnings: Uh. A bit angsty? Otherwise none.
Summary: The heightened tension after the Mall's Conception brings Mastema face to face with renewed guilt and some of his difficulties with communication.
Notes: So this was originally gonna be a summary of SJ from Mastema's perspective (as relating to Zelenin). But the muse realized how pathetic he was being. So...yay?

Meet Wheeler. This pony creator doesn't have the ability to add cutie marks yet, so this is an itty version of him. He was kind of a gangly colt, wasn't he?
Grumpy little thing, too. Maybe this OC will be fleshed out, maybe he won't. I was just playing with the pony maker.

He's here! They implemented him!
Except the story reason behind the dungeon is creeping me out.
( cut for images and...uh. Spoilers? idk. )
Anyway, I didn't actually go in yet. I just wanted to see the message beforehand. I'll stew in that at work.

Dear Customers: If you had to pull the door open to get into the store, why do you assume they're automatic on the way out? They will not become automatic doors just because you now have a cart full of stuff.

hpdigipokefanA rant about narrowmindedness
May. 4th, 2011 12:28 pmSo I recently encountered something I thought I'd never see again:
"If you play a game for its story, you'd better go pick up a book."
"Games are about the challenge, and anyone who plays for story needs to stick to things that only tell stories."
"Stories are what you watch a Let's Play for."
Bullshit, bullshit, and bullshit.
First off, challenge is relative. Due to being five cycles NG+, Strange Journey is no longer a challenge for me, save Mem Aleph and Demiurge. But I still play it. Because I enjoy the story and the characters, and the gameplay is nostalgic. Final Fantasy X isn't very difficult, but I love its characters and setting. Same goes for the seventh game in that series.
Second, what if we don't want the commentary that comes with a LP? What if we just want to experience it for ourselves?
I don't care if you like games based on their challenge, but fuck you if you try to tell me that I'm wrong for enjoying another aspect of them. Fuck you, and fuck your elitist "my opinion is the only right one" mindset.

Just don't expect much out of 2.

1. How I FEEEEEL about this character
2. All the people I ship romantically with this character

Apr. 20th, 2011 02:30 amTitle: Negotiations
Source: SMT2
Characters: Law!Aleph, Ghoulette, Angel, Dark Elf
Rating: G
Warnings: None?
Notes: Based on an actual negotiation. It happened immediately after I recruited Angel, so I just had to wonder what she was thinking when Aleph did that.
Angel wasn't quite certain what she'd gotten herself into. She'd certainly been impressed with Aleph's bravado and commanding voice, but what kind of Messiah would approach the undead for conversation?
"Hello there," Aleph said, smile as friendly as the one he'd approached her with.
The Ghoulette looked at him with a wistful stare. "Ahh...you remind me of..." she trailed off with a dreamy sigh. "...will...will you dance with me the way I used to?"
"Sure," Aleph said, putting away his weapons.
"Master Aleph!" Angel cried, unable to stop herself.
The Ghoulette put her hand on Aleph's shoulder.
Angel watched in mute horror, sure their master's kindness had cost them the initiative.
But Aleph put his arms around the living corpse in return. Ghoulette smiled and moved one hand to his waist, taking the other in her own.
And, without threat, they began to dance.
It didn't take long before the pair were enveloped in a soft white light. The Divine drew a slow breath, recognizing the anguished soul given rest.
The light cleared, leaving Aleph alone.
"Truly a Messiah," Angel breathed.
"Don't become too enthralled," said Dark Elf beside her. "The other one will not be swayed that easily. We have a battle to complete."

The fourth wall has become transparent, revealing a long table at which several muses sit, watching the world on the other side of thousands of computer monitors with a nervous expectancy in their eyes.
They have gathered here, waiting for questions to come their way.
The people on the other side will supply them. The questions may concern anything at all, in-character, backstory, meta, whatever can come to their minds. They only need ask in a reply to this post, and the interview will commence. They will be compelled to answer every question, regardless of how uncomfortable it may be.

We were talking about Lady Gaga.
And...despite the tone here, the conversation actually turned out to be quite pleasant. Go figure.

...Applejack does not belong in a headspace filled with the post-apocalyptic crapsack worlds of Megaten.
You know what doesn't help at all?
The angels are absolutely enamored with the absolute control the ponies have over their world. So I have to deal with them.
Someone tell me how to rid my headspace of one headstrong pony please.

Clan SMTDR
Apr. 4th, 2011 04:37 pmSo, if there are any old clan members from Kikkyou still watching or clanless/other clan DR members reading this but not watching the DR's OOC comm, then I figured I'd let you know I created a clan for the DR. If you want to join it or migrate from other clans or whatever (DR players/former players/prospective players/lurkers are welcome!) then just go ahead and let me know. ^^
The Rules:
1. People who have been tagged must write the answers on their blog and replace any question they dislike with a new, original question.
2. Tag eight people. Don't refuse to do that. Don't tag who tagged you.
( under the cut )
I tag...um. Whoever feels like doing this.

Mar. 28th, 2011 02:27 pmDecided on a whim to start up Devil Survivor again. Looked at my MC's stats. Realized there's no way in hell poor Taiki will ever beat Beldr at this rate.
BRB STARTING OVER AGAIN.
Let's hope Mitsuo Fujii does better than his predecessors.
