Four-Card Pickup

A recent few that I haven't noted:

1. I thought of a nifty conversion for the Ork Warboss from Black Reach (not BLEACH Rack) that I bought on impulse. It's too bad it was a dream, because I like nifty conversions, and at present I don't know of any real use for that miniature. Still, it is nice that they allow me to buy things that aren't normally available without buying a bunch of other stuff that I don't want, particularly now that the source has cracked down on such practices.

2. Ms. Sōryū and Shinji had finished a fight, so they decided to take a shower in a nearby waterfall. (Yeah, I imagine that L.C.L stuff is pretty unpleasant. Then again, I don't even like water.) Ms. Sōryū ended up falling asleep before getting dressed, so Shinji tried to kiss her. Fortunately, he was interrupted by their mascot chara, who appeared to be an unidentified creature from somewhere in Class Carnivora. This mascot was similar to a figurine of wondrous power, except that its figurine form was the same size as its living form and was mutable. In this case, it did its job by transforming into a loud gramophone. The shower scene may have come from the fact that I had just decided to use such neta in one of my shorts, but why did I have to throw in a bloody man? At least his conduct was less repulsive than the scenes where Ms. Sōryū was sleeping at the beginning and end of END. (Speaking of which, I'm still not sure whether END was one movie or two like GRAY SIDE and BLUE SIDE, as it's from back when I had no reliable sources.) Sadly, from a series like Eva, it doesn't seem too far out of character for her to strip in front of him even when she's awake.

3. In the first episode (probably of CSI: MIAMI or some such, judging by the content and continuity), the husband got kicked out of the mansion. In the sequel, he decided to infiltrate and rob it. This was probably inspired by an episode from Sunday, but I don't remember much, including whether or not it was actually after I watched it. . . .

4. As Tony Stark (not Tony Stark), I was a member of an élite team of commandos, their MVP due to the fact that I was the only one who could hover and fire highly miniaturized explosives, which I used to effect during a skirmish in an abandoned factory. Unfortunately, when dealing with non-laser-sword diplomacy, continuity errors ensued, as I couldn't remember whether my mask retracted to the front (as with the knights of the Northlands in Project Artificer) or rear.

The subject line is another plug for my constantly expanding line of shorts (on which I'll comment further in another post). The theme for the titles is somewhat troublesome due to the fixed number of choices.

miniature games, Artificer, エヴァ, animation, BLEACH, in the works, Marvel Universe, CSI:, 少ツ, dreams, D&D
