Idle Musings
Typically when I post twice in a day, I have something to say. I suppose right now is no different.
Lately I've been feeling a little blah about some of the RPing I've been doing. It's not to say that I don't have fun, but at the same time I'm trying to deal with this sensation I have. Sort of a Not Quite There thing that has been creeping in my stomach. I dunno if it's the tiny ache in my gut that's the problem or the headaches I get, but right now I really don't feel like continuing that thread in the Love Hotel. And it's not just there either, Never Was as much as I love it, I can't brain anything.
I'm almost thinking I should take an entire weekend off RPing, or focus on one or two games. Nothing strenuous unless you count the Corinth Event which is less of a RP than it is a ball of awesome rolled into one. I told Gohan-mun that I won't be able to get to the Hotel Thread till Friday, and I left an OOC note. The muse and inspiration is JUST NOT THERE, coupled with the fact that I lost webpage connectivity this morning for a long time.
One thing I'd like to see is more activity in Corinth though. And more people to boot. I'll have to brave the Cesspool and post an ad if we haven't done it this month. I've already managed to post in Planeocracy and hopefully Masaru-mun'll pick up, especially since his little sister is accepted in now.
On the upside, I'm listening to a soundtrack of win. Two Transformers Soundtracks, all three POTC ones and Star Trek 2009 all wrapped into a single playlist. It's a score of pure awesome, something I need after listening to Shinkenger's opening over and over.
I also got to meet Yue-mun who is apping in Trans9 and we discussed various silly things, mostly how overpowered Jack Rakan is and how unplayable he is in any RP, as well as where to take our kidlets from. I'm also planning a few more posts here and there, and I know that I need to get to Aeneas' post as well. If I can, I'll try to muster up a couple hours of tags in the Hotel before bed, now that Estelle's finally re-lodged in my head, and I indulged her whims by writing a Time Loops fic which I'll post here and now. While it's not as funny as Innortal's Omake loops, they're still a step in the right direction.
Time Loops: Brave Vesperia
Loop 1
It was probably Estelle’s… fourth time through this and she was getting annoyed. No one was awake in order for her to have any fun with, Rita still stammered like a fish out of water when she tackled her and dragged her into the bedroom, and to top it all off…
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! GODDAMNIT!”
That damn Alexei was still using her as a human shield-slash-aer manipulation-slash whatever device.
Karol whistled at the literary of curses Estelle flung out. “Can someone really do that Yuri?”
“Somehow I don’t think so, unless… no. The thought is just a little too disturbing.” Yuri was impressed however. How DID Estelle learn to curse like that? She made Rita sound tame when the girl stubbed her toe.
Estelle swore the next time this happened she was going to kick Alexei in the balls.
*
*
Loop 2
“And thus being said, we’re better off to convert them early.”
“But…”
“No buts Rita.”
“But…! The formula…!”
Estelle sighed, grabbed her magic marker and scribbled the formula on Rita’s palm. Rita stared at it and went cross-eyed at Estelle’s neat and tiny print. “This is…?”
“Yeah, yeah, enough stalling. C’mon, we’ve got some people to visit.”
It was one thing to be sitting on this knowledge. It was another thing to actually DO something with it. Estelle just hoped Belicus would be all right with her conversion early.
*
*
Loop 3
“Haven’t you ever heard of KNOCKING?!” demanded Yuri as Zagi went around all forms of common courtesy and broke down the door.
“HIYAH!” Before Zagi could let out a peal of demented laughter, Estelle clobbered him with a vase.
Then she started to loot him of all things, hot tie him and throw the assassin to the guards who had come running from the sound of a vase shattering. “Take this man, throw him in the deepest dankest cell possible and so help me god if you men let him escape I will exile you all to the eighth dimension of hell. GOT IT?!”
“Yes princess!” The men carted out the unconscious Zagi and Estelle turned a winning smile to Yuri who was staring with a cross-eyed expression on his face.
“Ready to go?”
“Er… yeah…”
*
*
Loop 4
Estelle was BORED. Everything was too normal and no one was still awake. The only person who had been was nearly a century and a half ago and it was Karol.
She almost felt sorry for him, being stuck at such a young age. At that rate, he and Nam would never have babies.
Estelle counted to three. Listened for the fighting to start in the castle. And then threw off her dress for her favorite outfit; a slinky cat suit that she had tailored herself when she had discovered that she had reset to the usual point; the afternoon before Yuri arrived.
Shimmying down the wall, she decided first thing was first: she needed to find her girlfriend. No matter how many times she went and seduced Rita, there was always room for more insanity. That, and Rita made a much better jump off point than traveling with Yuri who she had yet to see get together with Flynn.
*
*
Rita wasn’t quite expecting the way that Estelle busted into her life, sneaking into her house and seducing her without her consent. And who knew girl on girl could be so awesome?
“Where are we going?” inquired Rita curiously.
“Well first we need to find Alexei and inconvenience him as much as possible. Then we’ll see from there. I’m winging it.”
Rita looked at her pink haired seducer with an upraised eyebrow. “That’s it? Just wing it?”
“Yeah, I’m trying to think creatively here.”
*
*
Alexei swore that the next time he slept, he would make certain where his armor and clothes were. He did not like it when he had to walk from a town to town in nothing but a cloak.
*
*
Loop 5
It was the first Fused Loop in a long while for Estelle, and thankfully her persistence paid off: Rita was awake for this one!
But the young girl was still sighing as she tried to deal with the Chosen and her group. She knew of other similar worlds but Colette was just too cheerful for her at the moment, considering the role she had taken was the role of Estelle Aurion, the mother of the clueless swordsman Lloyd. Repede replaced Noishe and the dog was just as aloof as ever.
She was certain he had been awake for just as long as she was, since the dog usually sided with her instead of Yuri at times.
“It’s… a tomb…” said Lloyd, looking down on the piles of coffins that circled the tower of regeneration.
“No shit,” groused Estelle who hadn’t even had her coffee. She had decided to go outside of this scenario and completely cock things up; thus being said she hadn’t gone with Colette’s decision to go on ahead. Repede gave her a warning bark and she stuck her tongue out at the dog who growled in reply.
“C’mon, we need to get moving,” urged Raine, giving the unusually grumpy Estelle a look.
Estelle hung back to Repede and the dog looked at her. “So, have you learned how to talk yet?”
“Woof.”
“Huh, I guess not.”
“Actually I figured out the human tongue twenty cycles ago,” replied Repede in a smooth voice. “It just took me this long to figure out the magic needed to talk.”
“Oh fuck you…”
“Charming princess,” drolled Repede. “What’s got your knickers in a twist?”
“Would you believe that it’s just a lack of coffee and the last three FUBAR loops?”
“Clearly all that sex went to your head,” replied Repede and Estelle shivered. “What? I thought that was pleasurable for humans.”
“Not when you’re fighting while having it!” La Blue Girl. Just UGH. Estelle was starting to learn the “joys” of FUBAR loops. And she was a touch grumpy.
“Clearly. Oh look, Remiel. Didn’t we do this dance last time?”
“Yep.”
“And no Miss Mordio in sight to shoot him. What do you suppose you do first?”
Estelle reached into a dimensional pocket and withdrew a bazooka.
*
*
Loop 6
“Is that a giant marshmallow man?” inquired Karol, staring at the “Adephagos”.
Estelle threw up her hands. “That’s it. I don’t wanna play this time.”
*
*
Loop 7
Estelle was wondering why she was back in Zaphias again. Lately all of her loops had her starting at different points other than back at the beginning.
Muttering something, she vanished and reappeared in the middle of the nobles quarter, just in time to barge into Yuri. “Whoa!” exclaimed Estelle, falling on her backside.
“There you are,” said Yuri with relief. “Can you explain to me why we’re back on the day the Lower Quarter Blastia broke?”
“Oh thank god,” sighed Estelle as she got up. “About time you woke up Yuri!”
Explaining to him the concept of the sudden time loop that they were in, she finished with, “So basically I’ve been looping for centuries now. Rita and Karol and Repede keep looping with me. And Repede, talk.”
“Woof,” replied Repede with a doggy smirk.
Yuri rolled his eyes. “So should we just skip over to Aspio so we don’t get LeBlanc on our tail?”
“Can’t. We need to at least annoy him or the reset’ll happen immediately.” Estelle pondered and then smirked, a frightening thing to see on the normally docile princess.
And then, she grabbed Yuri’s hand, slapped it to her breast, Yuri’s eyes went wide as she inhaled and –
“EEEEEEK! THIS MAN IS KIDNAPPING ME!”
Every guard in the quarter swiveled their helmets.
“Better run,” said Estelle. Repede was already out the gate.
“I hate this new you,” said Yuri as he dragged the “kidnapped princess” with him.
*
*
Loop 8
“My first impression of you is… I have no idea what’s in the water these days.” Declared Kakashi.
Of all the people to be in, Sakura Haruno wasn’t one of the people that Estelle would have wanted to be put into. Her teammates of Karol as Sasuke and Rita as Naruto both frightened and amused her at the same time, especially since the two were awake.
Kakashi seemed to be canon at least, but during the team assignments, the rest of her friends were everywhere, and several others being a partially Fused Loop. Definitely not a newbie to the whole concept, she had to deal with several recently awakened people in this loop.
It was beginning to get on her nerves how many times she had to repeat things.
I'll see about trying to get to the post tonight. Beat out a couple of tags here and there.

Lemme doublecheck but I'm SURE that we've still got Roy, and we also have Russel and Fletcher, both played by GREAT muns. Fletcher's mun used to run Permanent_Way... which I dropped a few days ago.
Yes. Give in to the darkside husbandou.
... we should really get on that epic prank sooner or later. Me coming down to visit, etc XD
no subject
Oh, you did? [pats] :X Not right in the end, huh? --Alright, I may play Winry, though I'm not sure where to take her from now. XD Love the first anime, but with certain...developments in the manga... I don't know.
Pfft, already did a long time ago. 8D
...oh my god I forgot all about that. Yes. We should.
no subject
Yeah, I mean, I didn't mind it, but it didn't have enough for me to do at all. And maybe for the time being consider her from the first anime and make a decision when the manga finally ends?
Excellent.
[Ari has learned Force Lightning]
Yep, provided you even go into Divechat anymore XD I know mags is all but exiled from there because his AIM hates it.
no subject
Understand that. Yeah, I could do that, especially considering the manga's just about finished. I'll give it a little - she wouldn't be my first, anyway.
Huzzah!
[Pokemon Victory Music]
I'm not on AIM much lately, though I do go in Divechat when I can! So yes, I think it may work.
no subject
Exactly. I'm sure the Ed idled out but lemme check that roster of ours... yeah we lost our Ed. Ugh, there's another character I would tandem app with you if I wasn't trying to find a balance for my last three character slots. So far, I've got five possibilities and 3 people.
XD
And yeah, no worries. ... we're going to have to coordinate this prank.
no subject
^^; Hey, no rush -- after all, I'm still not sure what I'm doing. You decide based on who you wanna play, not who I might play.
Oh god yes. This weekend? Discuss?
no subject
Yeah hehehe, and it's not like Winry isn't easy to make friends with. She'd probably LOVE Rein, Matt and Ben. Currently my Trans9 potentials are Negi, KOS-MOS, Rita Mordio, Captain Rex and Angelic Days Rei Ayanami.
Definitely. XD I'll be free all weekend... as usual.
no subject
XD; Oh goodness, that is a hard-to-decide list! Yeah, she is. ^^ Well, whoever you choose, I will be happy.
^^;; Well, not all weekend for me! I may or may not be enjoying myself with some friends tomorrow...or some time, but I'm not sure. Either way, I've got a three day weekend.
no subject
Yeah it is. Negi is the only real confirmed one, with Captain Rex as a close second. Awesome Clones are ftw. Elementchat is voting for Angelic Days Rei simply cause she's awesome, happy, silly and can annoy the Canon Asuka there.
Hehehe well yeah true. Tomorrow I bring a friend food shopping. And if the weather's okay, to Red Deer too.
no subject
Hehe, if you didn't play Negi, then I would hurt you~ --Don't know Captain Rex, but oh gosh Angelic Days Rei. I would app someone from Eva just to play off her. >o>
:O Red Deer?
no subject
Yeah, true. Negi's one of my signature characters anyhow. Captain Rex is from Star Wars Clone Wars, the clone trooper in blue with two pistols that typically hangs around Anakin and Ahsoka. And yeah, I read most of the Angelic Days manga that I could find online and fell in love with the story.
Yeah, it's a city, just south of Lacombe. Bigger than our town by a longshot, and it's got all of the stuff we need; Superstore, Malls, Bestbuy, etc. Just like 20 minutes away.
no subject
That. Sounds like a fun day. It's like Galesburg to Macomb sorry, Ryan, if you ever see this, but it's true!! (AKA, where I'll be going to college vs. where Ryan is going to college)
no subject
Yep. I just need to resist spending money because that would be a Very Bad Thing. I'm sitting on 100 bones flat. And I need every penny.
no subject
secondthirdfourthwhatever-eth time you read it. Erk, NO ONE'S a big fan of the Tang Ending. Why do you think I mock it with my joke!muse? Hope they do the Rebuild right. Without it. :XYikes - yes, no money-spending. >.> I need to save mine for college (and ACen).
no subject
Yep. Which is why I'm pirating things left and right. Just way too much spending lately.
... I have the Time Looped Estelle in my mind. She's currently trying to ravish Hoshi. I shouldn't make a journal called "timeloopestelle".
no subject
>.< I'm...trying not to pirate, I'm really not.
Do it. :D
no subject
/headpat
Yeah, the character is based out of a series of Omake from Innortal at F.net where the characters are trapped in a never-ending time loop that the gods are trying hard to fix. Typically anime-based, I'm gonna ask Innortal if it's okay to write a few Omake in his Time Loops universe with Tales Of Vesperia. Look him up; you'll be laughing yourself sick even if you don't know some of them. He's got some Evangelion Time Loops in there.
To quote chat:
yeah, Time Looped Estelle has pretty much done it all, saved the world, blew up the world, pranked people in a thousand different ways, took alternate paths to various solutions, driven mecha, learned ninja skills, became a vizard, became a jedi, replaced several dozen Tales Of people, learned magic from Final Fantasy, etc etc the list goes on
