leene_chan | You Reap What You Sow!

=_=....Last night I suffered a severe TOA induced headache. I played for four hours yesterday, two hours in the afternoon and then two hours later in the evening. This is a lot for me? It was hard to take a break because at the point that I'm at there are a lot of story events and not that much actual playing. Oh well. I'll never have what it takes to be a hardcore gamer! ::snickers::

I've been stepping up work on the green Azone #5 head. That particular mold is anime-style (it was used for the Azone Anemone doll)and doesn't even have a mouth etched on. This time rather than carving it on with an Exact-o knife I'm just going to paint it. We'll see how it turns out!

I just met up with Van (and Regret and Asch!) in Berkend after a fun trek through the wetlands. I don't understand why everyone is treading so delicately around Van like they expect that he'll stop acting evil. Considering the way he is treating Luke he should be shot in
the face! And Regret--what's up with her? If she's supposed to be such a tough lady why is she content to stick around as Van's ho?

I am not feeling the love for Van right now.

So Natalia's not really the king's daughter! Didn't something like that happen in a FF game? (I'll be vague to avoid posting spoilers) Believe it or not I actually have sympathy for Natalia as a character. She's easier to take than Tear because she's proud and has her flaws as opposed to Tear who just seems like a blow-up doll. Tear reminds me of the cold, hard-to-get girl in a dating simulation who's supposed to be the real prize. After all, at this point Natalia has just learned that she isn't noble-born and therefore less special while Tear still gets to shock people with her mysterious powers and collapse. That's the heroine's role, I guess. I think that the only Tales heroines I didn't want to erase at some point in their game were Farah (because she was tough) and Shirley (because she was seriously disturbed and therefore good for laughs).

And OMG Dist stood up! :D He's not handicapped, just lazy! He looked tall to me but I'm pretty sure he isn't. So he still wants to make a replica of Nebilim even though Jade has given up. Does he think she'll give him a cookie if he brings her back to life?

Dist has the kind of face I'd like to punch. Stop grinning, you idiot! Scenes with Dist are unsatisfying because no one has thought to beat the crap out of him yet. Oh, but he is too funny! I hate his face and his voice but maybe he's like watching a train wreck because I'm always waiting for him to show up again.

For some reason I can't rid myself of the image of Ion glowing and reciting the week's TV listings in a faraway voice, then falling down from exhaustion.
