I need to learn that even if things get marginally out of my control, it's not the end of the world. Sometimes situations really are perfectly innocent. Murphy's Law is not always in play. So breathe, self. Breathe.

I'm also discovering I'm a lot happier when I ignore Plurk's existence. So, yay?



Anyway.

I have about thirty tags in my inbox I should be doing! But I spent a good part of the day cleaning and forcing my knee up and down flights of stairs.

Clearly that means it's time for video games.

Liveplay! Crisis Core: Final Fantasy VII.

Where I last left off!

[temples]

A lot of Genesis copies and malfunctioning Shinra equipment attacked the Shinra building. Zack rescued some oversexed middle management and even a materia fusion manlady.

Then Sephiroth is all, "We are going to Mako Reactor 5 to NOT kill Angeal and Genesis, lol."

So I guess Zack went there at some point.


I love the random icon button.

[sincere]

I'm telling you, man. Plurk. My nemesis.

/sits

/despite being at work

"IS THAT ANGEAL'S FACE?"

I don't know, Zack.

IS IT?

[temples]

Game, I'd like to hit the monster now.

With my sword.

No, I want to hit it with my sword--

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, I CAN'T.

[temples]

Sephiroth, how did you get to the door?

Weren't you behind me?



You didn't move. You just stayed leaning against the wall, behind me.

[temples]

So I died.

And I'm watching the training simulation scene again.

And.

Genesis.

Why do people like you.

[temples]

TREASURE PRINCESS has sent you an e-mail

MOVED TO SPAM FOLDER


... tee hee.

"Report on the SOLDIER Degradation Phenomenon."

This phenomenon is unique to the SOLDIER Type G.



G! Whatever could that mean!

[temples]

Is Genesis wearing lipstick?

Or are his lips naturally blood red?

[temples]

Okay, so.

Sephiroth stood up against a monster incubation unit or something while Zack briefed himself on the basics of Project G.

Then Hollander swung in and told us that only he can reverse the degradation process.

Then Genesis - with one black wing, like you do - dropped in and was all, "GET AWAY FROM MY BOYFRIEND," re: Hollander.

Why?

Because! :D

[temples]

I try to go down a corridor.

Zack stops and turns toward an open door and an adjacent room. "I think he went that way!"

Hollander's panting behind a door.

He sees Zack and runs out.

ZACK CAN'T KEEP UP WITH HIM.

[temples]

Zack: What is it you're after?

Angeal: World domination.


I laughed.

[temples]

Angeal showed up and let Hollander run off because-- yeah.

He revealed his wing! He says it's the wing of a monster, but Zack doesn't think so. It's the wing of an angel, he says! But since angels only dream of one thing, Angeal's only option is to pick Zack up and hurl him from great heights in an attempt to... keep his humanity?
