Lizicus here to wish everyone a very rad Friday and weekend ahead! Kick tails and take lots of naps!
Technical Oopsie
I did kind of have some impromptu posts for the rest of the week, but due to an oopsie in cloud saving, I… had to pause it until I get that all sorted out. Technical difficulties aside, week has been long and busy, but so far weekly tasks have been pretty decent overall within and around Eorzea. Got some plans for the weekend, including for here, so looking forward to all that before the final stretch leading into Memorial Day weekend.
Happy Thursday y’all! Kick some tails and have a wonderful one!
Forbidden Westing of the Horizon
Last night, since I usually get home crazy late with the combination of work and taking care of weekly errands, I plopped down to continue Horizon II: Forbidden West. I started it kind of early-ish on Sunday, but just barely got through the introduction areas.
After finishing Zero Dawn Friday night, I considered giving a break between the two games, but after the end of Zero Dawn, I just wanted to see what happens next. However, I’ll probably go back later to give New Game+ a go, as that would be pretty fun to do as well. I suspect hysterically so seeing as I was 30+ levels over the story’s recommended level.
Anyway, after about 7 hours thus so far, my impression of Forbidden West is this is basically a near-perfect glow-up that built on all the great that the previous game had. There are some things I don’t like as much (probably yet) they did add, but I suspect as I continue westward, it’ll make sense or be just part of the flow of exploring.
The only thing that bugs me is I cannot get the ‘Complete Edition’ or the DLC story as it’s PS5 locked and/or on Steam. I mean I suppose I could get it on PC, but… well sometimes there’s just games I’d prefer on console and this is one of them. This might just be the one that convinces me to get a PS5 eventually, but for now, I probably have another 90+ hours of adventuring to do. If it’s anything like Zero Dawn where it just vaguely points me at the next destination miles away from where I picked up said quest, and I’m then left up to my own devices to explore, then this will be an absolutely stellar time once again indeed!
Mother’s Day Weekend & Catch-Up
Mother’s Day weekend went very well: both celebrating Mama K’s birthday on Saturday evening and seeing her yesterday for an early lunch on the water was all very fun and lovely. Aside from the festivities, really just caught up on missing two days of not playing Final Fantasy XIV last week, which ended up working out well and being a rather pleasant experience.
Friday evening, I did hit the threshold of completing Horizon Zero Dawn after 85 hours spanning 13 months, it was over. I have not enjoyed a game like that in quite some time and did start Horizon II: Forbidden West, so we’ll see what the journey will entail this time around. It’ll probably end up taking me another year unless I get a lot more aggressive playing it on the downtime periods in a patch cycles; next one being about a month or so before 7.4.
Some small work was done on the server Friday as well, and my Super Mario RPG sound box arrived then also, which includes both the Switch version along with a remastered version of the original soundtrack spanning four CD’s. Playing those back to back once I got them on the server too was a really fun and enjoyable time.
Not much else really, and unless I can think of a few pop-up posts, it will probably be quiet here for the week again. I do have a bit of backlog to still get posted, and I kind of want to sit down and finish out the rest of Star Bunny, but that will take a good chunk of an afternoon, which right now all the time that is not allocated to RL/work is pretty precious. We are hiring new folks to help so really hoping this insanity starts to curve back to where it was before the new year.
Y’all have a wonderful Monday and week ahead! Kick lots of tails!!
Celebration of Mothers & Breather
So, starting off, the last couple of days, I decided to just.. well… disconnect from practically all online places. Along with that, after yet another 10 hour day, I came home and decided to just not play Final Fantasy XIV and as soon as I made that decision, a huge wave of relief came over me. It was late enough, and I just didn’t have it in me to deal with it. Instead I just plopped down, played more Horizon Zero Dawn, and enjoyed a ton of plot development from a story that has had me engaged for so long now.
The very blunt/near brash answer is just the overall negativity was starting to wear my outer patience down and once that happens, I know/knew it was time for a break from it all. Knowing that engaging in it and realizing it wasn’t going to 1) solve anything and 2) just add to it was enough – just not worth it as I have way way too much going on. It takes a lot for this to happen though, and the last time was around the time I left social media – so nearly 1.5 years now(?)
I’m saying this as kind of a reminder to the world that it is okay to disconnect or do something else and alright to not always be engaged or ‘in the know’ for a spell if it becomes costly to one’s health – it doesn’t help things and just makes matters worse. I fear a lot of the current internet/community (so many backhanded/negative articles go along with this) has forgotten this and it just keeps building up. If we lose all the good that I keep saying still exists to all of this negativity, then the evil has already won – keep kicking the good tails!
There is good and positivity out there; I will continue to say this even if I feel my words only go within earshot, and we just need to stop letting ‘the bad’ continue to be louder, it’s really tiring.
Having said that… leaving some reset items unchecked within XIV will require having to return sometime over the weekend to wrap it up, even if I don’t necessarily want to. During Endwalker there was a plan put in place for this sort of ‘just in case’ scenario, so it’s fine – might take a little bit to adjust. Even if I’m rather fed up with how things are feeling, I’d like to be ready for 7.3 as much as possible.
The weekend will be fun though, celebrating both Mama K’s birthday along with Mother’s Day throughout both Saturday and Sunday. Planning on getting some media server work done this evening, along with finishing up preparations for both events. Hopefully a smidgen of rest and downtime for a cup of coffee here and there too.
Tell some fun tales today, kick lots of good tails, spread happiness, and y’all have a wonderful Friday/Mother’s Day Weekend ahead!
Leporine Travelers: The Ultimate Weapon
There they were, the two Vieras at the pinnacle of Operation Archon, about to storm Gaius van Baelsar’s base of operations: the Praetorium. Without even saying anything, Elizara boards the Enterprise and beckons to Reinylla to follow suit once she’s on board.
The flight to the landing site was quiet, nothing but the sound of of the airship itself could be heard.
“Hey, sug. If anything happ–“
“Nothing like that will happen. I’ll make sure of it.”
Shocked at Elizara’s resolve, all Reinylla could do was smile with obvious concern behind it.
“We’re in this till the very end, right? So.. so, it will be fine.”
Elizara’s emotions could be slightly heard bleeding through the words.
They land at the site with a gentle thud, and the two along with Cid disembark from the Enterprise to do what they came there to do. Several forces later had them face to face with Gaius himself, and after taking out a large foe, Cid stays behind to keep communications open with Elizara and Reinylla heading deeper to take care of the Ultima Weapon itself.
After donning some magitek armor themselves, they blow through an incredible amount of resistance only to be greeted with a blasting door that knocks out the armor itself upon destroying it. Shortly thereafter said door, Nero tol Scaeva block their path. After a brief talk between him and Cid, he turns his focus to the two Vieras. However, Elizara’s sheer determination of keeping Reinylla safe from any harm ended up being no match for Nero, and he was quickly taken out of the fight.
With Cid quickly contacting them, and Nero fleeing the scene with a conveniently placed power outage, there was very little left blocking them from reaching Ultima. Gaius attempts to stop them from reaching it. However, between their combined force, makes it even a surprise for him to realize this wasn’t a simple task to be taken lightly. They quickly hurry after Gaius but not before he activates the Ultima Weapon.
With a little bit of help from Hydaelyn herself, they’re able to stave off the weapon’s eikon powers and even rip them away. Lahabrea makes his move, and activates Ultima’s most powerful ability – Ultima itself. Thanks to one more timely shield from Hydaelyn, Elizara and Reinylla just had the stripped and worn down remains of the weapon left to worry about.
“Enough of this! Come one, Reinylla, let’s end this and go home!”
“You got it, darlin’!”
The two attack the Ultima weapon, dodging its surprising amount of tricks even after being through all of this, but before it could manage to let out another Ultima spell, Elizara’s determination reached its highest heights.
“Absolutely NOT!! You will NOT harm her!!”
A bellow war cry of sheer anger with very obvious subtle hints of other emotions rang deep within, and from what appeared like it came out of nowhere – arrows of pure light rained down on the battlefield.
It was over. The Ultima Weapon had been defeated.
Gauis being emergency ejected from the weapon itself lied motionless before the two.
“You think he’s okay, sugar? Maybe we should check’er somthin’?”
“Why- after… all thi–, ugh… You’re such an idiot. Come on, let’s go home.”
Partial confused, but in agreement, Elizara and Reinylla begin to look for an exit from the wreckage. However, only upon walking just a few paces forward, Lahabrea appears all of a sudden and takes Reinylla away!
“You… you BASTARD! Bring her back here!!”
Nearly shrieking in anger at what she just witnessed, all she could do now is hope for Reinylla’s safe return…
Dragon Tails: The Professor
A while ago, the cousins (as well as Aiki and I) obtained omnicraft status once again for the rest of Dawntrail. Afterwards, there’s usually a rite of passage in obtaining a new outfit to go along with said accomplishment. Miss Laureine has reached her peak form with this ensemble as her crafting outfit of choice this time around.
‘Professor Laureine,’ which seems fitting being the one who has combed more of the Archives than any of us, has delved well deep into Allagan, Alexandrian, and any other otherworldly technologies without question. Keep shining bright, and continue to hone your craft all the way to the stars.
…which is still something she, along with the rest of us, still need to explore eventually.
Leporine Travelers: The Castrum
“You ready?”
Elizara, glancing outwards at Castrum Meridianum with Reinylla next to her.
“Huh, oh, a right, yes. Let’s get-a to it then!”
Elizara takes point and begins to rush ahead into the forces that await with Reinylla backing her up with the spell power she has learned to wield throughout her journey thus so far.
Upon taking out the first wave and a magitek armor, they appear to have come to a dead end.
“Where-to now, darlin’?”
Elizara shrugs, looking around for any sort of option before Cid contacts Reinylla with a solution.
“…he wants us to, what!?“
“Jump on down this ‘ere trash chute!”
“Wh- no. Absolutely not! I’d rather climb the wall over there!”
“Aw, come’er on, sugar! It’ll be fun!”
“…how is that fun!?”
Before Elizara could continue to protest, Reinylla excitedly jumps down the chute. With a loud exasperated sigh, Elizara jumps down to join her as well. Continuing their battle throughout Castrum Meridianum, taking out more soldiers and a drill-mech, they’re finally face to face with Livia sas Junius herself.
“Look-a, sugar! It’s her!“
Not even pausing, Elizara aims her arrow at Livia’s helmet.
“Yep. Payback for Waking Sands.”
Reinylla nods with a mixture of emotions, and the battle between the two forces begins! Bullets, fire spells, and arrows litter the battlefield, and finally at the end, the two Vieras were triumphant.
A quiet near eerie feeling falls over the area. Elizara and Reinylla still eyeing the now lifeless body of Livia, making sure it was in fact over with. Finally, Elizara lets her guard down and holsters her bow.
“..Let’s go. Just one thing left to do.”
Reinylla nods and puts her staff away with that. They both leave Castrum Meridianum slowly and exhausted from the ordeal. They report back to the Alliance and begin the final phase: Praetorium. Once they’re both rested up, it will be time to put their journey together up until now to the test.
The Usual
Another kind of ‘on par’ weekend. Lots more media server work, rested a bit, and had the usual Saturday evening dinner with a movie. It was nice, and the last one for a couple of weeks as Mother’s Day weekend is fast approaching.
Movie-wise, sat down to finally watch Moana 2, and it was just a great if not more than the first one. Rather surprised to realize that it’s been a whopping eight years since the first one came out! I’m pretty certain I was still traveling the nation when it came out and watched it when I was home between travels.
Approached 400 albums on the server now, and while it is kind of slowing down, it’s still moving quite a bit. I do, however, need to really take care of other tasks on Saturdays soon – ideally before my trip in June. Else-wise, come the fall and Hurricane season, I’m probably going to end up in a crunch while beginning to phase in my 2026 project.
Should be a bit more activity here this week, and with that, y’all have a very wonderful week ahead! Happy Monday and kick some tails!
The Thick of It
Kind of wanted to do a mid-week update, but was barely sitting down for the most part. It’s been just another chaotic week, and not sure it’s getting thinner for certain. Got some more audio work pre-planned for the weekend, but a bit of just downtime too. I think the weekend afterwards or the following is when the family is getting back together again for Mother’s Day festivities, so that’ll be fun.
Probably a bit more Horizon Zero Dawn over the weekend as well, if I can ever figure out how to seemlessly get those snapshots off the PS4, then I’ll share those too – the photo mode in that game is really robust!
Aside from all the usual, just tired mostly, and the inflammation/swelling is nearly gone too finally. One of these weekends I’ll get back to planning the big 2026 project that I still need to start on like really soon since it’s in phases.
Back to it then, y’all have a wonderful Friday and weekend ahead!
Crunched One
What I was hoping would be a relaxing weekend to mend the inflammation far better, and dabble around in the new Celestial Exploration turned into a run to get everything necessary to be done per usual.
I had to bring work home with me, the first time since I quit the industry the first time and just an ominous feeling with it, due to how last week ended. It wasn’t a lot and I knew I could get it done far quicker on my system at home than my work PC – which I cannot stand at all. The inflammation & swelling is starting to finally lessen; the pain is a lot more manageable with the swelling slowly following suit. It’ll probably be another few days until fully recovered but at least something is happening.
The PS4 upgrade went off without any major issues, and it got all up and running again with everything reinstalled where it was. There’s a noticeable difference, but I think it comes down to the speed of the rest of the hardware holding it back. It’s fine as it’s a bigger drive with the additional speed increase that has made traveling around Horizon a bit snappier.
Still kind of not feeling all that great about Final Fantasy XIV, sans space things, but just haven’t been able to get up there – I suspect it might be the next holiday weekend even before I make it up there just looking at how May is going to play out right now. In the meantime, just muscling through the weekly tasks hoping for something to turn the feelings about it all around still.
I may or may not get into the reasoning as to why, but it is kind of pushing me from wanting to be on as much right now. The longer breathers between reset are helping a bit.
Sonic the Hedgehog 3 was an absolute blast of a movie, by far the best of the three out now, so certainly gets my watch recommendation. Not sure what’s next to go and watch/catch up on, but got some time to ponder it until next weekend.
Going to be lighter on posts again this week as I had absolutely no time to figure it out again, and little to no time during the week to fill it out that I can tell right now. Y’all kick some tail, and have a wonderful last week/beginning of May ahead!
Steady as it Goes
Aside from some small tumbles, the week is progressing fairly well thus so far. Couple of other anomalies creeped up: another PS4 controller has, in essence, about to give up the ghost again. I really need to find a far more robust controller to go to eventually. Along with that, a flare up has left me in a perpetual state of pain until that subsides (which it better darn soon!)
Trip has been planned and announced to the parties involved, and when, so that’s one more task tackled. Sonic 3 is coming tomorrow as I didn’t realize it came out last week, so there’s the Saturday movie and that should be a lot of fun like the last two.
Small projects for this weekend really – mostly upgrading the PS4 and reinstalling goodies on that, but also might go with Aikirees into S P A C E and check out Celestial Exploration. I’m not in a big hurry, but I would like to get involved a little bit before it’s all over with at the end of Dawntrail. Ishgard was a blast, even for the little I contributed, so this should be just as fun if not more with the improvements I’ve seen.
Best get back to it – a lot of work at the office; y’all have a wonderful Wednesday!
Holiday Weekend
Kind of sort of a half-rest-half-cronch of a weekend. Saw the family for the holiday itself, and did an absurd amount of media server work. Far more than I was expecting to do, even if it’s supposed to be slowing down. A lot of RL events are approaching way faster than I am anticipating, so between now and Memorial Day weekend, I really need to get moving on tasks.
Aside from that, watched Beetlejuice Beetlejuice for the Saturday dinner movie. It’s really fun, but is definitely all over the place. The energy is all still there from the first though, so it was pretty good. Looking forward to watching Sonic the Hedgehog 3 whenever the hard copy is available.
It’s more than likely going to be a more quiet week here, but hopefully I’ll be able to sneak in a few while everything else is happening. Hope everyone had a really nice and wonderful weekend regardless of said holiday, and y’all kick some tails this week!
Sisters’ Fashion Report Adventure LIX
Episode LIX! – Twinsies this week, with some of our own flare. However, one of us has clearly won the additional flare part by a long malm.
Steady week of C H A O S
I will say that unlike last week, this week has been the usual chaotic busy, but not as rough. I did manage to pull a pretty awful blunder the other day… and injure myself again on yet another day, but it’s been flowing at a decent pace.
Normally Easter Weekend is where the end of the season is unofficially made, but I kind of think (less fear, but it is there) that this is just going to be the new normal for our office. We’ve just exploded in growth from the early years to what we are now, which on the one paw is really awesome, but on the other I miss being able to reliably come home like I did. Parts of me keep reminding me as to why I quit the industry the first time, even though I know it’s not exactly the same this time around (2nd time was for a lot of sort of different reasons).
I just hope that it does start to wind down and we can control the flow of projects a lot better, even as we head into the next season as well. It would be nice to get back to a more steady flow like before and not be hitting 9.5-10+ hours every single day.
Hearing Switch 2 preorders might be going live as early as next week was nice to hear. In the interim, went ahead and got hard copies of both Horizon games for PS4, and will plan on swapping out the HDD to a SSD soon too. I’m planning on jumping into Forbidden West pretty shortly after completing Zero Dawn, even if it is a smidgen ways away soon. I keep going back and forth with myself about current Final Fantasy XIV affairs, and they’re not great feelings right now to say the least. I know we’re getting pretty close to 7.21, so hopefully that’ll help things.
Anyway, it’s late, but just wanted to hop in and toss some remarks and thoughts out. Y’all have a wonderful Friday and I hope y’all enjoy Aiki and I’s Fashion Report from last week posting in the morning too!
Leporine Travelers: Aiming for the End
Reinylla approached the gate that would lead her into Cape Westwind. She knew what was more than likely going to happen upon proceeding forward. Elizara standing close by, wanting to lend assist, but knowing she couldn’t.
“Hey, Reinylla, I–“
Before she could finish the statement, Reinylla intervened.
“Wait’a for me, sugar. I’ll be alright; it’s just’a like last time!”
“B–“
She walked over and placed her index finger on Elizara’s lips, with a gentle confident smile.
“Wait’a for me. This isn’t the end of me, darlin’.”
Elizara, stunned and unable to conjure a response quick enough, did what she was told and watched as Reinylla entered into Cape Westwind alone. All that could be heard thereafter was the yelling of soldiers, spells of fire, and Rhitahtyn sas Arvina going toe to toe with Reinylla herself. Elizara did her best to keep any additional solders from running into the battle for lending assist, and it wasn’t very long before it became silent.
“R-Reinylla…?”
Elizara creaked open the gate and hollered out into Cape Westwind, only seeing smolders and smoke from the two’s clash.
“Reinylla!?”
She shouted as loud as she could, only to hear her voice bouncing across the smoke. She rushes into the area, trying to hear any sign of Reinylla through the crackling sounds of the smoldering ground. Panic began to sink in, but once she heard footsteps through the smoke, a cautious relief washed over her.
Slightly staggering, Reinylla makes her way out through the battlefield towards Elizara. Nearly collapsing into her arms, Reiynlla knew she was safe at last.
“I-I did say that I’d be alright, sugar.”
“You idio–“
At that point, Reinylla fell asleep with Elizara holding her. She embraced her dear friend and let her rest for a bell or so. Once Reinylla was capable of walking on her own again, they headed back to Minfilia, Alphinaud, and Rabauhn to bring the good news.
“You ready?”
Reinylla nods, determined.
“I’a sure am, darlin’! Let’s show them what’a we got!”
Elizara smirks.
“Alright then, together until the end. Let’s show them what we’re made of!”
With that, the two proceed through the massive gate and into Castrum Meridianum. Their journey together is inching ever so closer to the first major climax with many more adventures yet to be revealed!
Hooo.. Twelve..
Last week was, for a lack of better words, miserable and rough. It was both negative in and out of Eorzea, and kind of had me rethinking moving on from my industry for a third time now. Just… everyone was so angry.
I keep thinking as we head into the summer months (our usual ‘slower’ season) that it will be like it’s supposed to be, but I’m not really even certain right now, and that’s not a great feeling. Mind you, this isn’t my first time dealing with this nor moving forward, so as much as it’s rough, it’s something that will be overcome – even if it takes a lot of kicking of tails to do so.
Weekend was pretty relaxing and normal per the course, some extra and dire needing cleaning too (finally!) Kind of holding out for the hard copy of Sonic the Hedgehog 3 to watch, and I think that’s this month sometime last I heard, so hopefully soon. Doctor Who came back over the weekend, but will probably hold off until a few are out and watch those back to back.
I’m not entirely sure they’ll be a full week of adventures for this week. It kind of depends, and it may slow down as the ongoing weeks progress. There’s various reasons, both positive and not-so much, but between continuous and ongoing weekend tasks, and longer work hours crunching down the evenings (albeit, I do have a ‘hard stop’ time for work), I suspect it’ll affect here too.
I’m holding out for Cosmic Exploration/Shades’ Triangle to alleviate the community’s continuous ‘chilling’ atmosphere – at least in roulette content. I’ve stated it a lot in here but that shift from how things were as far back as Patch 5.2 & early 5.3 is really draining comparing it to now. Some of the banter from back then was such a hoot and made running dungeons all the much more fun, especially when things didn’t go perfectly.
Partial burnout is another concern that’s been creeping for a very long while now too. Staving it off hasn’t been -too- difficult, but is a variable I need to keep in check. I really do enjoy being in Eorzea with everyone, but there’s other (mostly RL) things that I’m starting to get into and enjoy as well. I realize taking breaks is good too, so not being around every day like the old days has helped.
That’s probably a bit rambly, and I’m fine, but just throwing it out there. I think that’s all for this weekend recap; another big week ahead as we head into the middle of April now. Really need to remember to do the Hatching-Tide event as well!
Y’all have a wonderful week ahead! As always, we got this and kick so much tails!
Black Mage Ticker – Dawntrail Edition Ver 2
As of Patch 7.2, the Black Mage’s Elemental Gauge got a smidgen of a change – where the timer was completely removed. I decided to continue my silly ‘Ticker Thingamajiger’ schematic with the change included.
Personally, I’m somewhat mixed on the change. One ear it’s a nice adjustment to make the class a smidgen more relaxed only to now worry about positioning for optimal damage in each encounter, which makes getting a Flare Star off at level 100 a lot easier. However, it kind of trivializes a major aspect of the class itself as well as ‘break’ the reason for abilities to be there to begin with. Firestarter doesn’t feel as necessary now as there’s not big reason to worry about refreshing the timer anymore. It’s nice to quickly flip between Umbral and Astral plus a damage burst in general when it proc’s, but… I don’t know, I kind of miss the timer now that it’s gone.
Something tells me that there’s going to be some more changes by or before 8.0 to give some of these abilities a more useful task – or they’ll just remove it entirely, which I hope doesn’t happen. Regardless, still love the class and will continue to for the foreseeable future as my main.
Leporine Travelers: Undercover
“Hey… uh. Don’t die in there, alright?”
Elizara says with near-affection concern to Reinylla who was fully garbed in a stolen Garlean uniform.
“I’ll’a be fine, darlin! I promise! We’re going to get in there and get our friends’ all nice and’a back out in once piece!”
Her carefree and unbiased lack of concern for what she was about to embark on somewhat gave comfort to Elizara.
“Alright, I’ll cover you as you make your way in.”
Reinylla nodded, and as Reinylla headed into Castrum Centri with some familiar comrades, she gave her the cover fire from her arrows. After that she was on her own with only the sounds of alarms and explosions giving no comfort to Elizara who started to worry.
For what felt like forever, Elizara saw off in the distance the Enterprise coming in on the southern side of Castrum Centri. She quickly ran as far as she could towards that side with only the sounds guiding her, finally getting a clear sound if not faint of everyone safely making it out aboard that faithful airship!
With a huge sigh of relief, Elizara followed the airship back to Ul’dah via her trusty fat cat.
She rushes into Ul’dah in time to see the Enterprise dock in Airship Landing high above the city. Finding out the Scions rushed into a meeting at the Royal Promenade, she headed there immediately. Her waiting felt like an eternity, only with her impatient foot tapping keeping her company. Finally Reinylla and the Scions appeared from within, and Elizara rushed up to the Reinylla who was in a fairly lighthearted mood even with everything she just endured.
“You-you– idiot! I was so worried! Are alright!? Here let me look you ov–“
Reinylla could see the distraught all over Elizara’s face, and simply just hugged her. The motion caused Elizara to break out into tears.
“Ah, hey, darlin’. I’m alright. Nothin’ to it is’a all! We all got’on out of there thanks to that Cid feller and his fancy flyin’ contraption!”
“Just… don’t do anything that wreckless again! At least not without me!”
“Of’a course, sugar! Together to the end and’a beyond!”
Reinylla hugged her for a bit longer, with Elizara smiling with a gently nod at the notion, they took their time walking together back down towards the Quicksands to plan their next leg of the adventure.
‘To the End and Beyond.’ Little do they realize how literal that will become in the future…
Leporine Travelers: Void
“…are you absolutely sure this is a good idea?”
“Sure I’ma sure! What could possibly go wrong with this here’a thing, darlin’?”
Elizara, paused and thought for a moment.
“It’s… oh I don’t know… a literal floating black hold right in front of you making weird chanting whispers!!”
“Is’a that what that sound is? I just thought’a I was hearin’ things or just’a hungry is all!”
“Why– ho-…!?”
“It’ll be perfectly fine, sugar! Let’s just’a see what happen’s when I place this here red goopy lookin’ vial near it like’a I was asked to!”
Reinylla lightheartedly placed the vial of demon blood near the void rift. The eerie sounds coming from within the portal began to grow louder.
“If you stick you hand into that thing or something comes out, I swear to the–“
Right then, Reinylla pokes the void portal.
“Reinylla!! What did I just say!?”
“Oh’a sorry, darlin’ the funky soundin’ voices asked’a me to–“
At that moment, several imps appeared out of the portal and attacked Reinylla!
“I TOLD YOU THIS WAS A BAD IDEA!”
Elizara yells at her, while drawing her bow to help in dispatching the imps before they could do any real harm. Once the imps had been taken care of, Elizara stomps off and sits down on a boulder close by, while Reinylla lightly chuckles at the whole ordeal.
“Well’a that was sure fun! C’mon! Let’s do that again, darlin’!”
Needless to say, that didn’t go over well with Elizara. As much as she can be annoyed with Reinylla’s sometimes carefree recklessness, she doesn’t want any harm to come to her as well. However, the annoyed feelings didn’t last very long and the two took off to parts unknown.
