Age of Pandora - Day 33-37/60
I'm very distracted at the moment by our national elections: we get to vote for members of our parliament on Wednesday. I plan to do a post about it tomorrow, just so you know;)
In other news: the MatchMaker Challenge in the quicky_bang ART community is a go! The first artworks were already posted today and there's more on the way. If you fancy playing with a short surprise fic, you can still sign up and choose to art for 1, 2 or 3 weeks!
Chapters 33-37 (spoilers for exercises and story)
Chapter 33 (Wed. March 8)
Following the choice in Ch. 32 to not interfere with the attack of the Betas, the story continues with me checking up on the Mountain Men when the fighting is almost over. I get to do another set with 'swordfighting', which is really just more boring chop exercises, bleech. I also get 'climb' back up the Mountain and do 100 extra climbers to find out that the village has been destroyed and the few Mountain Men who survived are now willing to join me. (because they are so in awe of my fighting skills and because they feel guilty for mocking me earlier. :-p)
Chapter 34 (Thu. March 9)
Dammit, more chops, what the fuck. No matter what other exercises you mix these with, they are never fun. I happily do my high knees, and side-to-side jumps in between. No comment on my jump knee tucks, I'm sure they look hilareous;)
Chapter 35 (Fri. March 10)
This Chapter starts out confusingly with an A-option that I don't recall picking, but after a bit of research on the Darebee/Pandora forum, I find out that this is a consequence of a choice I made in Ch. 24, where I had to decide who I'd let into my camp. Seeing as I had not invited Diver in, I now have to go look for him in the City Pits.
Of course there I need to fight again but instead of the instructions, I decide to do a long boxing set with my Moov bracelets, including jabs, cross hits, hooks and uppercuts \o/ I take a pay of 200 scraps for that.
I immediately spend my pay plus 200 more to avoid having to break someone's hand, because ehw.
Chapter 36 (Sat. March 11)
I run into an ambush on my way to the Resistance Camp, so more fighting! For some reason this set also includes side-to-side chops *rolls eyes* Good thing I can get rid of my aggression about that in the knee strike/elbow strike combo. ENOUGH WITH THE CHOPS.
Chapter 37 (Mon. March 13)
I didn't work out on Sunday because I had a day of blah. So I got back on track on Monday after work (I find it's best to do the work-out right after I get home, to not give myself a chance to start hanging on the couch or park myself behind the computer;)
It's push-up time again with a set where you choose an X amount of repetitions in between two other exercises. I opt to try 8 push ups in between 20 squats and 20 shoulder taps and manage 5 sets. I have no problem with squats and the shoulder taps (in plank position) are easier than I anticipated. The push-ups are the hardest part, 8 really is my limit in this combination, so I'm really proud that I make it \o/
