I wish I had more time to write. ;___; Work is slaying me. I'm feeling very unsuccessful and overwhelmed at the moment. Guh.
Heads up to anyone looking into buying LSK -
Manhua bundle 9 is now in stock at Kingstone. Bundle 9 includes Rule 17 and Rule 18, a short story about Metal called "Knife Blade," a card of chibi Storm, and a clear orange envelope.
Yu Wo held a Halloween contest where people post pictures of her novels and state who their favorite character is, followed by a short reason (I chose Adair and wasn't the only one~). The winners receive a copy of Book Writer. Unfortunately, I didn't win, haha, but it was really fun seeing all the answers.
Here are translations of two new plurks from the Neo & Aldrizzt side story.
Original plurk[Because I couldn't finish in time, I can only post this excerpt as an apology]
"I don't want to do another gardening mission!"
Aldrizzt rolled his eyes, unhappily saying, "The locations of these 'gardening missions' are places that even warriors might not be able to go. I have already done my best looking for the most dangerous harvesting spots. What more do you want?"
Without hesitation, Neo said, "Register our adventurer squad, find an elven archer, and take on the most dangerous mission, like the kind for slaying a dragon!"
Why are you so intent on getting an elven archer? Aldrizzt was very distressed. Neo definitely knew that elves would not favorably regard Aldrizzt, a dark elf, yet even so, Neo wanted an elf for their squad.
This is why Prince would make an awesome companion for them. *gets shot* (It's just too bad that he's not an archer.) Ooooooh, you know what, if Neo had met Halfleaf... Haha. XD;; If he wants an archer, nothing beats the Leaf Knight, seriously.
Original plurkAldrizzt couldn't find himself caring about the words "slaying a dragon" anymore. Since traveling together up until the present, nothing Neo wanted to slay fazed him anymore.
"Hasn't the last time we entered a small town taught you anything?" Aldrizzt said in frustration, "That time, we were surrounded by the citizens, stuck in the inn during the middle of the night. If it wasn't because our strengths were enough to allow us to escape, it wouldn't have been strange for us to be burned at the stake! Do you know how many people are in a large city? We might even get surrounded by thousands of people!"
"Get surrounded by thousands of people?" Neo's pair of blue eyes shone. He rubbed his chin and said, "Although being surrounded is nothing new, being surrounded by thousands of people sounds much better than a gardening mission."
He was truly wrong. The thing Neo loved most was danger. Even if he were surrounded by ten thousand people, Neo would probably just laugh. Aldrizzt felt an endless regret.
I really can't get enough of these two. XD;;; Neo is just... *shakes head* How was he ever the Sun Knight? XD; Now I'm really curious. I feel like many people must have just indulged him and thought, "There goes our Sun Knight again, heading straight into danger with a feral grin..." And then, the rest of the people were too scared of him to make any comment. XD;;
I finished Case 2 of Ace Attorney: Dual Destinies. On Case 3 now! The cases feel very disjointed so far, especially since I've played as 3 different characters, a different lawyer per case. Athena actually feels like the main character to me as opposed to either Phoenix or Apollo. I am quite happy to see Klavier again. I was going to turn my game off and rest when he showed up, and of course I had to keep on playing, haha. I'm somewhat amused that he has just become a helpful prosecutor (well, not like he wasn't already helping out in Apollo Justice, but it seems that helping out during investigations might be his only role in this game). I guess we won't be going against him in court. ): Though, I feel that many characters have been reduced to a small role, such as Trucy too... Welp, can't have everything. I'll see what I think after I actually finish the game. Things usually come together later. XD; (I am loving Apollo's hints about a friend of his from school. Yay for possible background on Apollo! And, and, Klavier talking about his mentor in pursuing truth. *___* Also, the genderbending in case 3, hahahaha. Wow)
