At least she's Chaotic....?

So, a couple of days ago, I beat SMT2 on the Law path! It was to canon-review for Gabriel...but I wound up picking up two new muses from the playthrough. Only one of which is a journal (that's Beth, btw), and uh. Yeah.

Anyway, the final couple of battles were more annoying than they were hard. YHVH only killed someone by damage once, and that was only because it was Satan spamming Deathbound and YHVH landed a critical before Virtue could Diarahan him. If it had not been a critical, he would not have died.

His only other kills were Anubis, by Voice. Yeah. Kind of underwhelming.

In other news, uh. YHVH has some interesting sprite frames. I've only ever creeped people out by showing them this one, but I can't stop laughing at it, personally. It just looks so stupid on him.

And then I made an icon of it because I was kind of bored and it amused me. Feel free to take it, treat it like a base, whatever.

Comment with "bring it on!" and:
• I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can get to know you better.
• Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
• Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions (but only if you want to).

So if I didn't give you questions before, now's your chance! knuddleluff asked me these:



1. What is your favorite SMT demon (that is not an angel)?

Kurama Tengu! I love tengu in general, and Kurama was one of my constant companions throughout the endgame of DSRK1.

2. What is your favorite MegaMan game and/or series?

I'm partial to the Classic series, but overall my favorite games are:
Classic: 7
X: 4
Battle Network: 3

3. Name at least three personal items that you would use to decorate your bedroom.

My Nook (more it's cover, really), my DS, and my laptop (or its case). End result would probably be a floral/earthy thing since the main colors for those three wind up being brown, pink, and green(if we use the laptop case).

4. Other than gaming and reading, what would you consider your hobby?

Writing!

5. What do you consider your greatest achievement in life so far?

Submitting three pieces to the school's creative writing journal, judged by the creative writing instructors. Two of them were slice-of-life stories, one was a fantasy piece (if you don't know, creative writing instructors tend to disallow fantasy and sci-fi on principle because bad writers tend to hide their bad writing behind the fantasy and sci-fi ideas.). My creative writing instructor knows me and my fantasy and has allowed it (!), but he wasn't on the judging panel that year.

Guess which piece of the three made it in, with a panel of complete strangers? :3

zekkass asked me these:

1. Who's your favorite character from anything? And why?

Pfff, uh. Gabriel, SMT2. And I had a long rambling reason why here.

2. What's your favorite book?

I...have no idea. There are too many good ones. One of the best ones I've read so far is called The Name of the Wind. It's a good fantasy piece that has worldbuilding that makes sense and is executed well

3. What draws you to the angels in SMT?

I...have no idea. I'm just fascinated by them.

4. What's the best thing that's happened to you in the last year?

Uh...having some awesome times RPing. :3

5. Why'd you choose that username?

Well, my usual screenname is Cherry. When I tried naming my character in Imagine that, though, it was taken. So I went through mutations of it until I found one that was not taken. And surprise, it wasn't taken here or anywhere else!

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.

Title: 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."

We were talking about Lady Gaga.

And...despite the tone here, the conversation actually turned out to be quite pleasant. Go figure.

Decided 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.

So I've finally done it. Demiurge has been defeated three times now.

...Strangely, he wasn't very tough this time around. He only ever used Big Bang, Diarama, and Dekunda when I managed to get him to -4.

It was like he was letting me win. Not a Heaven Strike or a Mamudoon to be seen.

Weird.

Anyway. He has a DR post now. Yay?

So I had a bizarre dream. I say "I" had it but that's only because it came from my brain in the big picture.

But it didn't feel like mine.

( cut for length and being bizarre. )
