| based off a dream I had. |
[10 Mar 2007|07:49pm] |
as I've said before, I'm really not much of a writer. this story is froma dream. it's apprently a continuation of one I had a while ago. the protaganist is a being who survived destruction due to the fact he was a being who could transform. he figured he was the only one left alive, but learned humanity survived. he went on to learn that the powers of a destroyer (in the past dream, sephiroth) were sealed. to keep them from falling into the wrong hands, he took those powers into himself, only to learn he was a reincarnation of the destroyer. he vowed to never go back to his past self's ways and would spend his life protecting others, and joined a special group of knights known as the templar. the transformed state is similar to that of a guyver (for thsoe who know that series) but looks more mechanized/plated in appearence.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the day started out like most had been lately. sitting at a desk filing paperwork. the palce was busy as always. people doing work, local authroities bringing crimminals in, and so forth. another typical day. I would sit here, do my work, file some things, then go home. course all I ahd to go home to was a loaf of bread and some bananas that have probably browned by now. life was peacefully dull. you'd think being the fact I ahd become a templar, went from working in the metroplosis to an old city like this,and being the perverbial "container of darkness" life would be more interesting, but it wasn't at least. I noticed a comotion going on. that was nothing new here. people always amde afuss when arrested. apprently someone was making a fuss like always when they got brought in. it was a young woman. long black hair, brown eyes. she was wearing a blue hoodie and black pants. typical of younger people lately. I overheard the officers escourting her. something about a murder with multiple people invovling a large blade as the weapon. honestly she didn't look like the type, but people are strange these days after the cataclysm. she managed to break away from the officers and ran off. hmm. not my problem. least I thought not. after about 3 minutes I got message on my own little "scouter" device
-incoming message from the conclave.
mission type: pursuit of justice.
escaping suspect wanted in pump house killings. suspect is to be pursued, apprihened, and questioned about the case to determine guilt. local authorities are deemed too incompitant for this one. templar, carry our the mission.you are authotrized to use leathal force if nessisary. contact local judicator when assignment is complete.
end transmission-
I let out a sign. great. local police botched it so now it was my job. well, it beat paperwork all day. so I threw on my overcoat with the templar insignia on it, along with my sword and began to head upstairs. it was weird going up ina building to get outside, but since the cataclysm they started building stuff underground for both room and safety. however many still lived out above ground. I ahd a good idea where the suspect was headed. there were locals still living in the old neighborhoods. figured that'd be the best place to look, plus I could ask the residents if anyone had seen her.
.....................
by the time I arrived to where I figured was best to look, it was getting near sundown. ever since the disaster the sky was always red at this time of day. despite the changes in the world, least this place was still the same. people still hung laundry on lines, children still played in the street, bendors still pushed carts around. other than the fact there were no cars around here anymore or the spiked boars wandering around this place was the same as when I was a kid. I figured my best bet if I wanted to find this girl was to ask an old friend. he knew the comings and goings of the area very well. maybe cause he was the local gang leader. I knew dealing with him would be hassel-free, since he beleived in protecting others, so he always cooperated with me as his friend and the local authorities. I found him on the street near some houses he rented out to others.
"hello rodney." I said to him.
he turned to me. he jsut smiled at him like he always did. he was wearing his coat with the word "shogun" on the back of it in japanese, and had a kendo stick over his shoulder.
"hey man, what do you want?"
I love how he always tried to sound like a tough guy, even when talking to a friend of his. I pulled out the picture of the girl. he looked at it for a few moments. was always fun watching him think, since he always looked like he was struggling, when I knew he just did that for show.
"hmm..I might have seen her. whats it to ya?"
"she's a suspect in a case. I'm trying to locate her as quickly as possible. it would be appreciated if you could give me any information you might have."
honestly, I hated sounding serious...
"oh ho. little lady runnin from the law eh? well, not sure if I could just turn one of my citizens over to ya. not unlerss you beat me in a fight and show me how tough you are!"
he yelled, probably wanting everyone around to hear him. I only sighed.
"rodney, listen, I don't have time for this..."
rodney at that point spoke ina hushed tone to me.
"hey, come on man. I'm not serious, but picking a fight with a templar will make me look like a badass to everyone.."
yet again I signed and nodded. sure. fine. I'd play his game.
"now then, prepare yourself templar! " rodney yelled as he swung at me with his kendo stick. I could see by how he swung he was deliberatly missing, but he made it look real at least. apprently all those years of watching pro wrestling paid off for him finally. I pretended to dodge (not like I had to really) and swung at him. I stopped just short of hitting him, put out one fingure, and poked him. rodney then, in dramatic wrestling fashion, jumped back and onto the ground like I had just hit him the hardest he'd ever been punched.
"gah! you win templar! you win!" he said as he held his shoulder in pretend pain. he then dusted himnself off and got up.
"but next time, I won't go so easy on you. "
he grinned and gave a big thumbs up.I shook my head.
"there. you got your mock fight. happy? now can you tell me where she is?"
"sure. she's in back of that one rental house I own. no one lives there, so thats probably why she's hiding out there. "
rodney pointed down the street to a really nice house. one of the better ones in the neighborhood.
"alright. thanks. say? why haven't you rented that one out anyway? nice house like that would probably just get you some decent money."
he only shook his head.
"this may sound odd, but the place has residents. I found out a few weeks ago a group of shadow foxes moved into the backyard. its rare to see them around here, so I figured I'd let them have it as long as they hang around. so if you're going over there please don't mess up the place. "
I nodded to him. "I'll be careful." and then I staretd to walk away before being stopped by rodney.
"hey, if you don't mind my asking ein, why is a templar like you after a girl like that? "
"honestly rodney...she's the main suspect in the pumphouse killings..."
the look of shock on his face was obviouse. I may have said too much. course this was rodney, and I knew the knowledge was safe with him.
"t-the pumphouse kilings?! where sixteen people got all..cut up?...that girl did it?!"
"I didn't say she did it. I just said she's the prime suspect. apprently she was found at the scene."
"...I see... " rodney nodded and stared at the ground before speaking again. "...I don't think she did it..."
"what gives you that idea rodney?"
"I've both spoken to her and seen what she's like. you'll understand when you meet her."
he nodded to me before walking away. soon as he was a few feet away from me a group of local girls ran over to him squealing. as I walked down the street I heard "you're so brave rodney!", "are you ok? he didn't hurt you that bad did he?!", and other such fangirly nonsense when their idol is supposedly hurt.
................................
I walked up the driveway to the house. was a pretty nice place. 70s style contruction, which was rare to see in these days. rodney did a good job maintaining the place. was so nice I was suprised he didn't use it himself. once I got to the path going into the backyard I creeped along. the gate was left open, so I hoped she was still here. as I got to the corner of the house I peered into the yard. sure enough, there she was, sitting on a short brick wall that at one time was for a elevated garden. she seemed rather sad. I didn't want to rush in. if this girl did kill sixteen people, even I should use caution. she reached into the pocket of her hoodie and pulled out what looked to be a piece of jerky. she stared at it for a minute or so. just as she was about to finally eat it, there was a rustle in the bush next to her. she looked at the bush, then kneeled in frotn of it. she held the jerky out and said "come on, don't be shy. you can have it..."
at that point, a shadow fox came out from the bush. so rodney wasn't kidding when he said they lived here. really, look-wise their fur is solid black, with ocassionally grey streaks in older ones. otherwise, they looked and acted like a normal fox would. the fox slowly approched her. once it neared it looked up to her, then to the meat, then back to her. she smield softly to the fox. the shadow fox then grabbed the jerky and darted off into the bushes again. she smield sadly and sighed. "well, there goes the last of my food... guess I got nothing else left now. least this is a nice enough place to do it...."
she looked very mcuh sad. I saw her reach into ehr pocket again and pull out arevolver. she stared at it a moment before closing her eyes and pointing it to her head. now at this point, some would say "oh yey. the murderer is going to kill themselves. I'll wait, bring the body back, and fill out some nice easy paperwork while munching douhnuts." well, my job wasn't to do that. my job was to find her and find out what happened. I quickly moved and backhanded ehr hand, forcing her to drop the gun. in shock she fell onto ehr back. before she could I pointed my sword towards her.
"you are not to move. doing so will bring about swift reprocusions."
man I hated having to sound serious. she just glared up at me as she sat up.
"jeeze, you guys just don't give up do you?". her tone was now angry as oppose to the gentle one she had with the shadow fox. "I suppose you want to drag me back down into that fancy underground police station, huh?"
I kept my eye on her as I put my sword away and picked up the gun she had. thankfully, scouter devices can do item checks while you look at somethng or someone else.
"I have been sent to find you and question you on the incident."
"ugh. again? how many times do I have to tell you pigs. I didn't do it! just because I find a bunch of people hacked up automatically makes me a killer? what kind of system is that?!"
the scouter came back with an ID on the gun. remington revovler. was an old model. a jacob weisenflus owned it. I pulled up information on him while she yelled at me. hmm, apprently he's been dead for a number of years. only known relative is a daughter named rika weisenflus. ah-ha. so thats the girl's name. that or there's a girl who looks just like her in the system information. I then began checking information on the case.
"miss weisenflus, I never said you did it."
"well, you sure seem to think so if you've been chasing me around!"
"if I may remind you miss weisenflus, you escaped from custody first. hence the pursuit."
she groaned before speaking. "would you stop with the formalities?! if you're going to question me, at least call me rika already!"
well, she confirmed the girl in the data system was her at least.
"miss weis-...rika.. you were brought in to be questioned about the case. you were foudn there. if you didn't do it, you would still be a witness."
she huffed before speaking " look, I didn't do it! and I definitly didn't see who did it! all I know was it was dark out, and when I got there, I found..." her vocie suddenly became sad again. "...I found a lot of people...in pieces..everywhere.."
according the the examination of the victims a blade was used. judging by nearby gash marks and a hole in the ground, the blade was at least 7 feet long. now unless that pocket of her's was a lot deeper than physically possible, she ahd no murder weapon. however, I began examining the gun now. "rika, do you know anything about a alrge blade?"
at this point, she was back up on her feet. she glared at me again, the anger back in her voice. "the...blade? argh! again with the blade! I'll tell you what I told those cops earlier! I don't have anything like that! why don't you search me to see I don't. how about a strip search?!"
she said the last part as she began to pull her hoodie and shirt up. I at this point waved my ahnds and tried not to look embarassed. "n-no need for that! I..I'm sure you couldn't hide anything on yourself that big anyway..."
she jsut smirked and put her shirt and hoodie back down after only going halfway up. apprently she had intended to freak me out. I ressumed my gun examining, trying still not to look embarassed at that.
"oh? how do you know that? maybe I'm special and can manifest blades from no where!"
I closed the revovler back up and stored it in a pocket for now. "I don't think you did it."
"maybe I like to chop people u-...." she stared at me, dumbfounded. her vocie was now calm again. "...you..don't think I did it?...why..is that?..."
"a few thigns really. the blade is approximately six to seven feet long, and nearly 8 inches wide. its unlikely you could carry it around without being noticed by anyone, let alone be used efficiantly by someone of your build. the weapon was no where at the scene of the crime nor in the surrounding areas. "
"...I..see..."
"plus, to be honest, you don't have the brains to kill yourself let alone other people."
"I...wait...what!?! are you making fun of me?!"
"not at all. see, you had afew problems with your plan. first, you're in an area people frequent. second, you were holding the gun one handed, pointed back at you. the recoil would have thrown off your aim. third, the angle you were forced to hold the gun at would not be a fatal shot. if anything, you would have caused minor brain damamge to yourself. lastly......you put the bullets in backwards. "
rika only huffed and turned away from me.
"besides.....I don't think someone like you would have killed all those people?"
"oh? and why is that if you're so smart, mr. let-me-tell-you-how-suck-at-suicide?"
"you're a caring person. afterall, you gave your food to a animal that few others would care about. plus, you actually stayed put instead of trying to run off."
"....I...." she then went quiet, looking at the ground sadly. ".....thank you..."
before I could say anything else, a message came over my scouter.
-emergency report.
officers engaged in combat.
4 wounded, 3 killed.
all avalible units to respond.
suspect is an altered beast.-
...an altered beast...here. great. I miss my paperwork already. I looked to her. "riku, I know you didn't do it, but I can't leave you here right now. I'll need you to come with me for a moment, as I need to take care of something. once it's taken care of, we'll go to the station and let everyone know what I've learned. however, I have to go somewhere dangerous. I promise no harm will coem to you. but, if you want...you can still run now and I won't chase you."
she only shook her head. "no...I'll go with you..."
I nodded. "alright. follow me."
what was I getting myself into?
..............................
it wasn't long to get near the area under attack. I arrived at the police blockade. riku stayed behind me while I was briefed on the situation. apprently, some guy just killed someone in the street. when a officer confronted him, he killed the officer as well. others arived and attempted leathal force to stop him, but he just took mutiple bullet shots and kept coming. he killed two more before they confined him to one partular area. I left the gun with the officer in charge of the safety zone and explained to him about rika. he said he would keep an eye on her here right now. I looked to rika.
"alright. you're going to stay here while I handle things here.. I already submitted my report electronically on the way here. afterwards we'll go to the station, explain it, and everything should be cleared up soon and we'll resolve this all."
"alright.." she nodded as she spoke.
as I staretd to walk away, she stopped me.
"you..never told me your name..."
"...ein."
"alright. please...be careful ein...I have a bad feeling..."
"don't worry. I'll be fine." I nodded to her and contineud on.
I passed the blockade and looked around, drawing my sword. before I got very far a officer's body fell out of a smoke cloud mad eto pacify people. it apprently failed. a man stepped out from the smoke. he looekd like an average guy. except he had a bunch of bullet holes in him, and a wild, demented look in his eyes.
"so...they've sent another one for me to play with. a templar no less. oh I'll enjoy killing you."
"lets see you try it monster. you will not be able to defeat me."
he jsut smirked and lunged towards me. he was fast. inhuman fast. he was definitly a altered beast. I managed to dodge only barely and counterattack. my sword caught him in aslash across the shoulder. he then stood, holding his shoulder, and laughed insanely before looking to me.
"I've killed numerous people with that move. you templars definitly are better than normal. well, seems I may have to up the ante then!"
his eyes, they turned a bright red. his whole body buldged and swelled as muscles exspanded and contorted into a new shape. his size grew to what had to be 12 feet tall. his face turned to that like demon insect with multiple fangs. but then, I saw it. his one hand turned itno a blade with the exact sizes as the murder weapon from the case. his vocie warped into a deeper, more monsterous sound, but still carried the same insanity to it.
"you should feel special little templar. none ever get to see my true face..and live!"
at that point he began swinging wildly at me. he was so much faster now. it became so much harder to dodge his attacks. I could hardly block that blade of his, let alone counterattack at all. the blade, and the wildness, and his love of killing...
'you....you're the one who killed all those people by the pond!"
he laughed. a laugh that would chill and terrify most anyone.
"indeed I did. their screams were so enjoyable. the looks on their faces as I hacked each of them up. it was so sweet, like candy. delicious, blood soaked candy. but see, i wanted more. thats why i killed those people today. and now little templar...you will add to my feast!"
he swung at me, forcing me to jump back in a dodge. then, before I could react, he raised the blade up, aiming to bring it down right over me. I held up my own blade in a futile attempt to block. the force of his blow cracked pavement, sending up a cloud of dust and smoke.
"ein!"
rika. I heard her scream, crying out when his blade came down on me. she was..watching? poor girl, having to see this. to see this monster. this monster who just laughed. poor girl..she was now having to see two monsters...
"silyl templar. how dare you try and oppose me!"
"...monster...you obviously weren;t paying attention when I said you'd never defeat me.."
his laughter silence. he looked on is disbelief as the dust cleared. standing before him was a creature simialr to him. armored, demonic in anture, and standing where I ahd been, holding a 10 ft long masamune sword that glowed blue and crackled with electricity around it, blocking the very blow he had swung. the monster stood where I ahd been, because it was me.
"you....you're an altered beast! but how cna that be?! you're a templar!"
"then you monster have shown your ignorance. just as there are templar, there are also dark templar."
I shoved his blade aside. he growled and backed away as he thought this out. he was now facing someone simialr to him.
"..dark..templar? bah! it does not matter what you are! I'll devour your organs all the same!"
"it came at me, swinging with its arm blade. it met with my own sword. the two reverberated against each other as they pressed agaisnt each other. it seemed like forever theyw ere locked like that when in reality it was meer seconds. there was a sound of something like metal straining before my sword broke his in half. the monster reeled back in pain, holding his broken blade. as one would exspect, when one's body is a weapon, one feels pain when it is destroyed.
"wha--what have you done! my arm! my arm that killed so many! you've destroyed it!"
"it was the first. now you cna join it's demise!"
I lept up and my own blade down on the beast's head. the blade ignited itnoa blue fire as it cut through the monster, cleaving it into two. the halves hit the ground. it never had time to scream. I stood there. looking at the now dead beast as I lowered my sword.
"...justice has been done. may those you've killed rest in peace knowing you have paid for your crimes..."
.................
it was almost 2 in the morning before the meeting about tonight's events was over. the dead would be mourned, the mosnter's remains examined, and the streets cleaned up. life would go on jsut as it has. I just had some paperwork to leave on my desk before ehading home finally. as I approched my desk I was surprised to see someone there at this hour. more surprisingly was the person was rika. she was jsut leaning against the side of the desk, smiling.
"about time you got out of there. I was getting bored."
"rika? what are you doing here? they told me since that monster confessed you've been cleared of all charges. shouldn't you be home by now?"
rika jsut shook her head and smield still. "you know from that fancy device you have I have no home to go to. so I was waiting for you."
"you were waiting for me huh? and why is that? you now know I'm a monster, just like that one from earlier."
again she just simply shook her head. "just because your a alterwhatever doesn't mean you're a monster. a monster wouldn't have beleived in me when I said I didn't do it. plus you trusted me to stay there and wait for you and not run off. you're the only person whose ever really been kind to me or trusted me."
"I see. alright then."
"besides.." she smirked, "the police confiscated my gun cause of you. and since that was my only way of protecting myself, I figure you owe me now, so I'm going to be staying with you now. afterall, who better to protect me than a templar?"
I jsut stared at her. someone, wanted to be around me, depsite knowing what i was. officers only were around me due to work, how I was a templar. ands even then you could see the unease they ahd sometimes. but rika..was different. I jsut sighed.
"ok, fine then. if thats what you want. I won't argue."
rika jsut laughed a bit while I put my paperwork on the desk. she then followed me as I began to leave.
"you really shouldn't be so serious all the time. "she said as we left.
"if you say so."
"I do say so. so got anything to eat at home?"
"maybe. how do you feel about bread and brown bananas?"

[02 Nov 2006|04:11am] |
in bordom at work today, I made a new list. namely, calenders that suck and why. now these are all MY opinions. you may agree, you may disagree.
Family guy "remember the time..." - the calender is random screenshots from the show each month with random lines. mostly they say whats going on such as "licked a nipple" or "ran into a wall". and one of peter watching a exsplosion and all the wrods say is "ka-boom".
family guy- 'all I needed to know I learned from stewie"- this one sucks ebcause each month is a random picture of stewie saying thing slike "adults are stupid" and "hide the plans for your time machine."
napoleon dynamite- this one sucks because..well..its napoleon dynamite.
scooby doo- this one is like the stewie one. its just random pictures of scooby doo each month with lines like "sweet", "dog-gone cute", "super". super-lame in my mind
fruits basket- I like this anime. makes me sad the calender is aweful. unlike the other anime calenders, it didn't use artwork. instead, it just used random screenshots. no effort whatsoever.
hello kitty- besides the fact its hello kitty, each image each month is just a colored background, hello kitty in a different costume each month, and the words "hello *name of month* "
Anne Geddes- some people find ehr stuff cute. to me, ts jsut babies dressed like flowers. dumb
Tom Arma- this guy is really just a wanna-be Anne Geddes. each month is a baby dress like a sea creature. maybe someone out there finds that great, but not me.
jeff foxworthy's "you might be a redneck if.." - I don't need to exsplain this one.
Most difficult golf holes- when i first saw this one, I thought it'd be interesting. but then i looked at it. its pictures of various scenery, such as a snow-capped mountain, cliff ledges, rock spires, glaciers, or erupting volcano with very badly edited in golf greens and people playing. if it had been photo-shopped they'd look decent. but no. looks like someone did it using microsoft paint. some don't even look that good. some look like someone taped golf cut-outs to a scenery picture and photocopied the image.
thats it so far. if I think of more I'll add them.

monkeys
Pez dispeners

this is another one of thsoe days where I planned on doing a journal post, and as soon as the screen came up I blanked out on what I wanted to say.
work has been its usual boring self. I think I have read the backs of every calander there. sales are picking up, just very, very slowly. other day I wanted to laugh at these peoples' stupidity. I was standing at the register, since I was ringing someone up when i noticed these two women and the son of one of them at the stand. they stood staring at the rack of the cars/planes/sports illustrated/playboy calanders,. i heard one say ;they should be right here. their son ran around most the other racks then said he didn't see any. they elft before I could ask if I could help them. as they elft I ehard one say "bah! they don't have any carolina panthers calanders!". hmm. I guess they clearly missed that pile of 50 panther calanders we have. maybe if they turned around and looked at the rack behind them they would have seen them.
I don't think their happening anymore, but I'm still kind of shaken from the earthquakes here last wednesday. its jsut really unnerving to hear a loud rumble, then later on another loud rumble and everything shake for a moment.
I still have no real plans for halloween. its been mentioned on us doing something, but nothing offical has been set yet. meh. hope we figure soemthing out soon. I'd like to be able to go out and do something soon.
lastly, last tuesday I went with my dad to an eric clapton concert. he won tickets froma raffle at work. however, it wasn't just floor seating or the horrid nose-bleed level, make-out seats. they were in the hospital's private skybox. was really nice there. was a private room. had a small bar, a table with chairs, flat screen tv, fridge full of sodas and water, carpeting, wood panel walls. actual seating area had really nice leather seats, each with its own little table. there was even food. there were chicken quiesidllas, cookies, really good brownies, chicken strips, and buffalo wings. so they had a few of my favorites. concert was really good too. we were at a level were we could see rather well, but were far enough back that we weren't getting blasted by the speakers. concert itself started at 7;30 and ended after an encore at 10:30. also, I found it amusing when my dad went to one of the souviner stands and saw i was right. shirts at concerts cost 35 dollars minimum.
and..so much to buy next month. I got the Wii to pay off, super robot taisen 2, armored core 4 (even though I don't own a xbox 360 yet) I still want to get this really nice but really exspensive lunamaria hawke doll for my colelction (so I'm a fanboy..) and have christmas shopping to do. most people's items have been ordered. just hope they come on time. one I already know will be late, since it ships supposedly in january. so, looks like every one of my paychecks will be eatten up by the purchase monster.

so, my day off during the week. did I sleep in? no. do something productive around the house? nope. I went to the mall the time I always do for work, and sat on the floor outside gamestop. and I waited there from 7:40 to when the store opened, ignoring a stomach issue I was having. but it was worth it, as I am in the #1 position at that store for a Wii when it comes out. was agood I got there when I did, as when they opened the door there were 12 people in line and gamestop only had 14 avalible. I was on my own until about 8:10 when another guy got behind me. then about 8:20 a woman got behind him. at that point I realized I sat right under the sign stating where the line starts, so lucky me. then the woman wandered off, as did the guy. thena secodn guy came along and got behind me in line. the first guy returned, having gone to get breakfast. the 2nd one said he had to run to his car and get his gamecube to trade in. he asked if we minded holding his spot. guy behind him said sure. he then asked me and I said as a joke "I'm at the front of the line. I don't care what goes on behind me, but go ahead." and, its amazing. after the line got to be 5 people, new people would walk up to the door and stand there, then give us this look "what? why are you all staring at me?" eventually when they got tired of getting the stink eye, they went to the back of the line.
and they ask you a load of questions of want to reserve a game, memory card, extra controller, or zelda. apprently its to be so big their asking it as a seperate question. I said no to all, cause my focus is the system for now.
.
I had to ask about reserving super robot taisen 2, but I waited till after the store wasn't full of people there for Wii. gamestop had a line that was moving so slow, cause almost everyone was doing trade-ins. so I went to EB in the mall. they had people for the Wii, but not as many, so I waited on line there. as I'm waiting, I saw this 12 year old pick up dead rising for the 360, then get in line. I noticed no adult with him. so I thought "when I get done, I'm going to hang around just to watch you fail." sure enough, when he got up to the register, "how can I help you today?" " *hands employee the game* " "do you have an adult with you?" "no" "then you can't get it" "awe...ok..."
silly kid, trying to buy a zombie game thats rated mature.
so I waited at EB when nathan called to tell me he was on his way to pick me up. told him I was at EB and he wanted me to ask them if they had any Wii-spots left. (...hehe...Wii-spots...) I asked and told him they had 4 left since a guy jsut got done getting spot #10. entirely paid off the system, a memory card, a extra controller and zelda. wish I had his funds. anyway, nathan gets there and he orders a wii, getting spot #11. when asked if he wanted to order zelda, he said he had no interest. employee stared at him like he said something blasphamous. "y-you don't want zelda?!" "...I'm a sonic fan. thats why I'm getting the system." "but..sonic doesn't come out until march...." "so? I'm downloading old games and playing my gabecube game son this thing until then" "oh..ok.. *mutters* he doesn't want zelda..."
I just laughed. amusing how the employee reacted.
I was amazed to find out their cracking down on people who buy multiples to sell on ebay. their limiting it to one per household and are actually checking in their computers. I was told by the guy at EB they caught someone who ordered a PS3 at one store, then another at a different store. so, they canceled both his orders. no over-rpiced system selling for him now
but yes. that was my Wii adventure today. now I have to pay it all off and wait to hear if their doing a midnight release or their opening early that day.
(ha. see? happy fox. told you Nikki one would show up eventually)

Metal Vdramon: ...ok..whats with this whole big deal about people and places offering to sell you gold for WoW?
DeathsBlade21: Gold can be pretty hard to comeby, or, just time consuming to come by, and when you get high level most of the stuff at the auction house that you can buy/want to buy/need to buy can easily end up being like thousands of gold. So, the people who don't want to take the time trying to find a way to get money just buy it from other players, because it's been established for quite some time now that people are more than willing to spend real money on fake money in an MMORPG.
Metal Vdramon: ah. exsplains this "world of warcraft gold guild- instant delivery with 24/7 customer service. power up now" link that came up in my search for the books
DeathsBlade21: heh
Metal Vdramon: but..isn't that the point of the game as it is in life? working to get the money so you can buy the thing you want? or am I still exspecting people to have a work ethic and not be lazy and take the fastest way out possible?
DeathsBlade21: Heh, well, something like that.
.....I wonder how many people out there actually think "man, I can't wait for my paycheck this week! then I can go buy some gold so my paladin can buy some +3 armor of a poodle without me having to run around in a game and work my ass off doing actual work like I'm suppose to in the game to get it!"...
....probably more than I care to think about....
at some point..exspect a otakon post. when I feel up to it.

I am really getting ticked off about some stuff lately. so I decided to write about it and vent in no particular order.
1- tom cruise: I am so tired of hearing about the guy's life. whoopty-damn-do he divoced some woman and married someone else and ahd a kid with her. guess what. whats what people do! it happens to a lot of people. the guy is a nutball anyway.
2- the dixie chicks: really every day this week I have signed online I saw first thing. a big news article that was basicly titled "guess what the dixie chicks said today about the president". you know what? no one gives a damn what the fricken dixie chicks said. what? we're suppose to care what their opinion is of the president jsut because their famous? I don't give a rats ass what their opinion is about the president. its like caring what some random guy on the street thinks. people have opinions. just because their famous actors or singers doesn't make their opinion anymore important than the rest of us.
3- the DaVince code: its a book. big deal. people are making some big deal about it just because it has a religious theme. SO WHAT? its a story people. you don't have to let it have this massive impact on your life. if you don't like it, just ignore it. no one is forcing it on you. also, its really annoying me how everyone is trying to cash in on it now, with video games, a movie, and whatnot. hell, at the groccery store the other day I saw some women's magazine that said in big letters on the cover "the DaVince code diet! find out how it works and how it can help you lose weight!" what the hell is the daVince code diet suppsoe to be anyway? you eat nothing but bibles until you lose weight? jeeze...
4- biased people: I am so god damn sick of of people not liking other people due to their background. that and how people are blaming all their problems on people of different ethnicities, or think their bad just cause of where they come from. you know what? their human, just like you are dipshit. who cares where they live or what ethnicity they are. their still people damn it. they have feelings, lives and problems, just like you do. maybe if you stopped being so fricken lazy or whatever your problem is you could get a job too, instead of doing some bullshit like blaming hispanics or canadians or whoever for why you can't get a job (yes, I actually heard someone blame canadians in all honestly why they couldn't get a job). the only people who take jobs away are lazy idiots who somehow keep getting hired everywhere. that and the people who hire them. apprently they'd rather have someone who doesn't know their ass froma hole in the ground than a person with good work habits and a brain.
also botheirng me is people who discriminate based on religion. "oh don't hang around with so-and-so, because their not of the true faith like we are". what? just because your of a diffferent religion than someone makes you better than they are? because their wrong in their beleifs and you're right in your's makes them lesser than you? like I said before. we're fricken human! we're all the same no matter what we believe in. you're entitled to your opinion, I'm entitled to mine on what to believe in, but don't go thinking you're superior and everyone else is some sort of walking sin just because they have a different religion than you do.
5-my grandmother: I really can't be mad at how she is senile. she can't help that. but it just pissing me off at her "I'm always right, no matter what you say" attitude. somehow, she got this idea that all her food is rotten. she somehow got this notion that the groccery store's power went out for three days, then they re-froze everything after it went bad and sold it to her. first she said it was her ice cream. ok. that mgith be understandable. then it was her soda. thats..not so likely. then..it was ehr canned spagetti the store let go bad and they sold it. today she called me to say her food was rotten and she had nothing to eat. guess what it was now. her cornflakes. yes, you read that right. she says the store didn't refridgerate her cornflakes and they went bad and the store sold them anyway. I told ehr cornflakes don't get refridgerated and go bad. she then basicly said "oh well what do you know?! if you're so sure, why don't you coem here and you taste them, then you'll see their bad!" i told her my mother and I can only get over there saturday the earliest, due to how my mom doesn't get home from work til about 8, then at that hour has to eat dinner (as my grandmother knows). but no. that wasn't good enough for her. we didn't instantly submit to what she wanted. so what did she do? she threw a three year old toddler tantrum. "I have nothing to eat! all my food is rotten! but I guess you'd just rather let me starve to death! *hangs up* " yeah, she hung up on me. which really bothered me. she really thinks she can get her way all the time, just like a child. doesn't matter what you want or what you have to do. its always "I want something. drop what your doing and cater to me".
6- my mother: I'm getting really tired of her ranting about my grandmother. I may rant too, but with my mom its every five minutes. she complains how my grandmother repeats herself and keeps aying the same thing over and over again. my mom doesn't realize she does the exact same thing with how she keeps complaining about my grandmother. if either me or my dad tells her she is doing that, she gets all pissed off at us. wonderful. she is also letting it bother her so much she is having diabetic reactions every day due to ehr stressing out about my grandmother. it finally bothered me so much I sternly told ehr this morning before she went to work I know she's been having reactions, and I know its because she is stessing cause of my grandmother. so stop thinking about it. it'll probably stop her low-blood sugar problems.
7- world of warcraft: dammit people, its a game. not a damn way of life. you can stop talking about it. I don't care if you like it, but don't act like its all that exists or its the best thing ever made. go on and talk about it if you want. just don't make me or others who don't care about it listen to you go on for three hours. also, if someone is trying to play a game with someone else, don't distract them with warcrap talk. like the other week. I was playing andrew in mechwarrior, and brian was going on and on about warcraft. so that starts andrew going about it. finally after 5 minutes of him doing nothing I just got pissed off and said "are you going to do your turn, or you going to talk about damn warcraft all night?". he finally started going then. least brian saw how pissed off I was and shut up about the game for the rest of the night.
8- my school: I don't like being there in the summer. it sucks. it's boring. but I'm ticked off at how the school just doesn't give a damn about the summer students. the only palce to eat on campus is the cafeteria. you know what? the school got this brilliant idea to close the cafeteria during the summer. so there is nothing around to eat other than vending machines, fricken krispy kream donuts (ugh. too much sugar), or to walk to soemwhere else. I don't have time to walk somewhere during my breaks in class. so, I get to go hungry til class is done usually. I hate going hungry. so I'm usually in a bad mood during class lately because I'm hungry and tired due to how boring everything is. also, there's absolutly nothing to do there. becaus eof some jackass, the school took the tv and couches away from our old spot. I hate the upstairs, because all the idiots hang out up there. and the wonderful student loung ein the new building? always locked. great school. they made the downstairs were we always were a unwanted furniture dump. so now its laoded with desks, tables, filing cabients, a microwave and a fridge. place has turned intoa dump, and the school doesn't care. not about its students nor the older buildings. guess paying 300+ dolalrs doesn't mean you cna also buy food from them or get a palce to go.
and that is my rant. kinda long, kinda pointless, but I needed to vent.
..by the way. Nikki, I promsie the next post I'll be sure to use a happy mood fox.

I had something to update with, but I can't remember what it was. so...um....hm...
...
...it'll come to me at some point...
...bah...
so, all I can think of right now is I'm debating on attempting to write again. guss I feel somewhat inspired by those RPG-esq dreams i keep having. heck, I'm even randomly thinking of plot points and so on. there's jsut a few problems.
1- I have no idea where to even begin the story
2- I don't know if I want to have it based in the FF7 world where the dreams take place, or make up my own.
3- I suck at coming up with characters really.
so if I cna overcome those problems, and maybe motivate myself, I may attempt it. I'm not sure though. last time I attempted writing it was horrible. so, if anyone wants to help it'd be appreciated.
well, I'd say at this point me getting to see silent hill is a no-go. it'll probably be out of thearters soon, and all my friends here who had a interest in seeing it already saw it. and its really not a movie I want to go see alone. blah. ah well.
so, ever find a new song you like, and you keep listening to it every other song? I keep doing that with a song I found recently. probably because..I just kind of like the chorus part of it.
I'm working on getting a newer blue force FX lightsaber. I'm going to be making payments for it over many,many weeks. once thats done, I don't know what I'll do with my old one. I may jsut put it back in its box and store it away, or possibly sell it. not sure if anyone would want it really, as it is a older model and so doesn't look as nice as the newer ones. plus, most my friends prefer my red lightsabers.
I'm really hoping to get the third veratech i want. wish i could put it on layaway and make payments like that lightsaber, but no. I'm still betting by the time I cna get it it'll be sold out. cause..thats my luck.
anyway..um..I can';t think of anything else. if I cna think of what I wanted to post originally I will put a new post or update this one. I'll more than likely remember when I'm in bed tonight or class tomarrow.
"Each night within his prison cell,
he looks out through the bars
He reads the letters that she wrote
One day he'll know the taste of freedom
Over the hills and far away,
she prays he will return one day
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
back in his arms she swears she'll be
Over the hills and far away,
he swears he will return one day
Far from the mountains and the seas
back in her arms is where he'll be "
...........anyone ever notice whatever mood fox I have, it always has the same exspression?..........

so, I'm back in school . have to honestly say, summer classes suck donkey lips. no one is there to talk to, and since the school got rid of the tv, I can't bring a system in. its so boring and lonely there. I did actually see JJ one day. when he saw me, he walked into snyder with me. but upon seeing no tv and no couches, he said "its just not the same" and walked out. bah. class is...really boring. one guy talks for three hours. the other...talks for about 6 hours. befroe we looked in the national electric codebook now and then. but the new teacher has us in it every day. so not only am i totally confused, I'm bored to death as well.
had another dream in my RPG based dream series the other night. the party was fighting some sort of fire creature. our party consisted of my friends actually. there was a thief, a fire user, and not sure what the third was. anyway, we ended up defeating the fire creature by beating it to death witha fire extinguisher of all things. hey, whatever works. afterwards, we went to a shop, bought some items and some...gundam models. don't ask me why. i guess cause andrew and nathan were among the party. afterwards, instead of staying at an inn, we stayed at my grandparent's house. either way, I went outside to do some of that good old rpg monologe moment. forgot what was said though. anyway, I come back inside to see what everyone else was doing. I find out while I was outside talking to myself in one of those long, angsty "oh god is it over yet?" dialoge sequences, i find out everyone else got drunk then went to bed. I'd like to see that happen in a final fantasy.
silver bullet finally got around to ordering the Fullmetal Alchemist card box I wanted. however I told them last week to go with the new set, sicne it just came out. sure enough, it actually came in this time. as oppose to the 4 weeks iw aited for the last time I asked them tog et me a box. they did mark up the price though. online the boxes go for 30 dollars. they charged 45 for it. its not a bad set. lots of new stuff, and some re-issues from the first set. including my horrible chase policeman card. its back. and for soem reason, its the "player's choice" card. who the hell requested this thing?
I really can't complain about them overcharging for the box, due to whats in it. see, this set was special, in that it has randomly inserted cards that are actually autogrpahed by the voice actor of that character. not only did I get one of those, but its the main character of the show, Ed. so apprently I'm still a basatrd at pulling cards at least.
not much else to write about really. my week off was super-boring. my weekends have prettymuch sucked, and there is yet another veratech out I'd love to get. problem is, its uber-expsneive. and between saving up for otacon and botcon it'll be way too hard to get. my mom said she wanted to discuss with my dad getting me a laptop for my birthday. problem is, my mom thinks they cost like 100 to 200 dollars for a good one. and my dad may still be a bitch about me owing him. I may just tell my mom to skip the laptop and get me the veratech instead or soemthing. I don't know..
anyway, I've decided. I'm going to invent a stain removing produce. why? so I can call it "Ninja Vanish!". its the ebst name ever for a stain remover. it can even have the slogan "strike at your stains from the shadows!" how's that for a advertising campaign.

you know its time to go back to bed when you wake up, look out the window, and see a load of pink flamingos on your neighbor's lawn.
........
...what? I'm serious. I looked out the window and saw like 20 plastic flamingos out there.
.....
...don't give me that look. I have no idea why their there, all i know is somehow there are now a lot of plastic flamingos out there.
.......
...maybe there was something in those waffles I ate last night...

a dream....before it gets hazy..
in the dream, I was living in a station wagon in a garage. just me, the car, and apprently a few ghosts that haunted the place. then, some group of kids, probably about 15 to 16, got into the place. they were rather surprised to find me there. one asked why I was there. so I began to tell her.
I was helping out in some battle. some creature had taken people captive. apprently, the creature was vunerable to ice. so it was my job to hold off its servents while another party member would hit the main creature with ice arrows. the creature died. its capties free. so we lead them back to safety. through some misty woods, fighting giant ants along the way. we soon reached the sea. the captives were safe now. I choose to go back home. as I traveled, I faced...fish. and eletical shock-inducing spiders. whereever I went as I traveled, on tvs and radios there was this person speaking about how mankind is out of check, and how those who are not fit to survive are cheating darwinism. I could still hear him talking as I arrived home. I stood in my driveway and looked up, and saw some sort of missle flying around. it circled once, then slowed. I heard the man who had been speaking say "now only the strong will survive. the time for man's judgement is at hand." and with that, the missle..exsploded? realeased some sort of gas or radiation? I'm not sure which. either way..everyone around in the neighborhood was now gone. after this happened, I looked at the window of a car next to me and saw my reflecton. except..it wasn't my reflection. it was that of the mechanized demon creature...the "altered beast" that keeps showing up in my dreams. there were words scratched into the mirror. the words said "....everyone are dead...but me and robot..." (hows that to take the edge off of a serious dream?). I questioned why was it I and that other self(?) survived.
I finished my story. one of the guys told me I wasn't the only one left, and that him and his friends were proof.
they convinced me to go with them so I could see. so I took my sword and followed. sure enough, there was a sort of..village. however, most the houses were under contruction. they had walls, and such, but had no carpet, paint or drywall in some places. however, they did have power and water. I was surprised to see people had made it. not only that, but they were all working to help each other, no matter background or what. then, on the wall in one house, I saw a crayon done drawing of that altered beast sef. it was your typical 4 or 5 year old style drawing. as I looked at it, a woman said to me "my daughter drew that. she said its of the one she dreams will come and protect us all."
and that was the dream. I still feel kind of out of it after waking up. guess because I am sort of trying to figure out if it means something.
UPDATE- I had a continuation of this dream last night. you know you're in for a great dream when it starts out with RPG text boxes and still picture backgrounds exsplaining the current situation. it had to do with sephiroth. to keep him from coming back, as he seems to keep doing, his essence, or power, whatever..had been sealed away in a crystal stone. the stone was at the top of this mansion/tower. to keep that power from falling into the wrong hands, I went to go get it. however, these was a girl who was also after them, for whatever reason. so it was basicly arace as to who would reach the stone first. however, there was a catch. to get there, you had to move back and fourth between the floors and the rooms. a passageway that might be inacessable now would open up if you did something on a different floor. there were also all these puzzles and such that invovled finding items to solve them, much like resident evil(the good, not 4 ones). either way, I ended up beating the girl there. namely, by taking the last key from her. and once i reached the stone, I gained the power of sephiroth. which..didn't seem to change much. I just gained a masamune, and the alternate form now had one black wing and one white wing.
and that was the dream. who knows. maybe I'll have another part to it sometime this week.

I'm still getting crap from my dad. at this point he's just beating a dead horse with how he keeps harassing me almost daily now. also, I'm worried about some of my friends. both those things have me really down lately. to the point of I feel really blah about almost everything. just..don't feel like doing much. don't feel like eatting as often as I do, and just feel really sick or tired and draiend lately.
in another note, I had a really odd dream this morning. I was at work with my dad, helping him sort staples. thats right. staples. afterwards I went and met up with this girl who has been a frequent figure in my dreams(first "appeared" when I had my surgery and was in a mental state where, as far as I could tell of what my condition was, was dead or on the verge of). don't know who she is, as I never get to see all of her face. all I know is she has long hair and is most often dressed as a shinto priestess. anyway, she was with me. we went down to a bus station where I met up with some of my friends. one of them had found this white crystal-like orb. now here is were things get odd. the silver haired antagonists from advent children show up, overlooking the city.yes. thats right. I ahd a dream and Yazoo, Kadaj, and Loz were in it. they ahd orbs similar to the one my friend had found, only different colors. apprently, they were after these things. only way I could describe them is their a form of some powerful magic, however, using them affects the enviroment. such as if a green one is being used, all green light is negated for a while, so nothing thats green will be green. also, they affected shadows, making them look like monochrome reflections of whatever their shadows of. the color and monochrome effect had apprently been dubbed as "mana drain". anyway, Kadaj shows up, learning that my one friend had the white orb. well, seeing as how these things were being used as weapons by the three of them, I couldn't just sit idly by and let him take it. so, I transformed. it was something froma old story I had written. it was called something like "altered beast mode". basicly looked like a demonic gundam, or a slightly technological looking devil. anyway, I ending up fighting Kadaj in this transformed state. I managed to fight him off to where he retreated for now. however, those orbs posed a threat as long as the three of them had them. so I left the white one my friend found with the priestess girl (since I know she can handle herself), and flew (yes, flew. can fly in that tranformed state) off into the main city to track down those three and stop them. the city was, for some reason, very technologically advanced. I remember the dream had a flying firetruck. also, for some reaosn, kuramam from YYH was there. apprently he was inventing things for rich people, such as asuite that negated the mana drain.
so, that was my odd dream. I had a slight continueation of it this afternoon during a nap. I arrived at a walmart and decided to search it for clues (don't ask why). only things I remember was a employee yelling "hey! no flying in the store!" and finding a ant plushie in the toy aisle.

I went to NJ last weekend. it was a alright trip. got to see pam, and go do fun things, and see my family and my brother. only downside was seeing the state of health my grandfather is in. he is really sick. I'm not sure about everything thats wrong, but I do know he has spinal cancer. he really doesn't get out of bed much, since it hurts to move. really..it doesn't look like he is going to be around much longer. so I really had that hanging over me since then.
I hoped everything would get better once I got home and the week went on. boy was I wrong.my teacher was an ass. sure I wasn't in class monday. I was traveling. tuesday he made some crack about me not being in class, and how I'm always over in snyder playing video games. just because I'm by people playing video games doesn't mean I'm constantly playing them. and hell, when we're in the classroom, I'm usually one of the first ones there. thursday in the safety class, I was the first one from the electrical course to show up, but he didn't even notice. when we went over the questions in the book, I didn't have the answer for the one he called on me for. so he decided to say "well if you weren't always over in snyder playing video games all day maybe you would have known the answer." I really didn't appreciate that. nor his reason for having no class wednesday because he "didn't want to look at any of us". friday wasn't much better. my english teacher decided to give us five more assinments, on top of the 6 we already had to do. such as those lovely "50 things you want to do before you die" and "what animal are you and why?" writing jobs..
everything else wasn't much better. friday everyone went off to class or do stuff, so I was really left alone for a while that day. I know I was working on a model, but I really wanted someone to talk to or something, just to take my mind off everything.
and that brings us up to today. today I felt shittier than I have in a very long time. why? all because of my dad. he has suddenly decided I owe him 600 or so dollars from past credit card bills. then as if that wasn't enough, he decided to go after one of the very few things that makes me remotely happy in life. my gundam and transformer collection. "wast of time", "worthless","total garbage" "nothing but variations on the same thing", were among some of the things I heard. they serve no purpose to him, so their useless, so he hates them. my mom things its because their not "normal". she said when they got married he did car models constantly. the house was covered in them. but my stuff..their not normal..so to him their a waste. he wants me to sell all my stuff off in the garage. he thinks there's a lot of value in that stuff (there isn't) and that its oh so easy to sell things (its not). also, he's decided we're not going on vacation this year. why? because he doesn't want to go, so we're not going.
*sighs* so...I need come up with 600 dollars. I'm hoping to sell some stuff off, but if I have to I'll sell my games, dvds, and the rare yu gi oh cards. unless I can do it fast, I can count out being able to do anything fun this summer. nothing fun to go buy, or go, and probably would have to forget otacon at that point. heck, I'm so depressed right now I'm at the point of nixing it now. unless some miricle happens, I won't be able to pay back my dad and afford to go. really..after today I've sort of want to get hit by a train, or just grab some of my stuff, go off into the woods and never come back. just..survive by myself in the wild or something. maybe then it wouldn't matter that I feel so empty. meh. all I can do now is attempt to sell things and see how much worse my week can get.

This is a post. Why? Because it can be a post, so it is one. its not a waffle, its not a Dutch-Irishman, its not a yaoi slash fanfiction, its not a ham samwich, its not a snail, its not a pair of underpants, but a post of the live journal variety. Got it? If not, start over from line 1.

...inhuman...
..nothing but a monster...
" if you cast it all aisde, you can have everything you want. power, strenght." "strenght isn't what I want." "what do you want? to love, to be loved? you're a beast. a monster. you can never have those things."

as many...er....three of you may know, I was going to a fighting game tornament today. it had marvel vs capcom 2, smash bros melee, neo geo battle colluseum, street fighter 3-maximum impact, guilty gearX-reloaded, and naruto 4 (may have been more. I dunno). well I did. in GG I used ky, and in smash bros I used samus. I signed up to play reloaded and smash bros. those of you who like rants, get a chair and some pocorn, cause here comes one. I'll break it down into sections.
big-ass babies: alright. so we got there. they at first were not going to run guilty gear X-relaoded, as the person who was bringing it couldn't come. so not to be denied, we went back to nikki's house, got her xbox and her GG and brought it. we got it all set up. then people for GG showed up. they started complaining that it was the xbox game. they wanted the ps2 version. namely, the guy wanted a japanese one, because he brought, like nearly every person there, a large arcade-style control pad.it wouldn't work with the american xbox. so he bitched and moaned about it. apprently he also went off saying you can roman cancel easier in it. people complained how they didn;'t like the xbox controllers and wanted it to be the ps2 version. well...NUTS TO THEM! we stuck with the xbox. so nikki told me later one that guy who whiend about wanting it to be the japanese game apprently got a hold of a modded ps2. he then tried to switch it with the xbox when she wasn't looking. apprently he was stupid enough to try that. argh.
I didn't play naruto, but most my friends who went did. like the other games, it was best 2 out of 3 games. the guy who brought the game said right out at the start. no using akamaru (the puppy), the puppet, demon sasuke, or kyubi naruto as their considered overly broken and too powerful. cameron is the best naruto player out of all of us at school (I own naruto 3, but I still suck horribly at the game). he had to play the guy running it in the finals. cameron won the first game against the guy. then, suddenly, the guy changed the rules to best 4 out of 7. cameron then beat him again. now, another rule went out the window, as the guy changed his character to kyubi naruto. the one who he said at the start couldn't be used. it didn't matter thought, as cameron beat him again. he changed his character again, now to sasuke. cameron beat him again. 4th match the guy apprently got real pissed off and tried beating cameron at his own game of using shikamaru. it didn't matter. cameron knows shikamaru well enough to know his weaknesses. he took the guy out easily and won the naruto tornament. afterward the guy complained how cameron kept doing cancel manuvers to exsploit his weakenss or some crap. in other words...he's a sore loser. but his annoyance didn't stop there. oh no. he decided to come watch us play GG. when i was playing, he stood right behind me and decided to yell, and I litterally mean yell at the guy I was playing "YOU BITCH! YOU STOLE MY COMB TECHINQUES!!!". yeah. i really didn't appreciate that. he also started calling the game guilty garbage and complaining how he hates the game because they supposedly changed one of the characters. idiot.
cheap tactics: I didn't exspect to do well. I'm not being emo or anything. I just know my skills aren't on par with a lot of peoples' abilities at games. but still, the crap I saw done today was uncalled for. smash bros. ok. so cameron and JJ are the ebst smash bros players at school. both lost early in the tornament. when it was my turn. who was my opponant but the guy who beat them. great. as exspected, i didn't do well at all. I was just proud to have knocked him out twice (rules were 8 minute matches with 4 character stock). had to play cameron in the loser bracket. as exspected, i got my rear handed to me on a platter. also had to play some other guy who did nothing but throw lightning projectiles with pikachu and spend most the time running away from me.
guilty gear now. one word. potemkin. he's a big, slow character. can't run. but his attacks hurt. specilly hsi specials, which are all throws. two..count them...1...2 people sued potemkin in the tornament. one of which was using a aracde controller. he ended up winning GG. I noticed something though. he would change the button configuration so he could do one button specials. thats hwo he won. by prettymuch giving himself an unfair advantage. and he was all happy about it too. I should eat his soul, but I'd probably get indigestion or a tape worm from it. also, I had to play that guy who used pikachu in smahs bros against me. I should have know his tactics would carry over. he did nothing but use heavy projectile characters. he'd run away, throw stuff. and if I got near, he'd run away again. sure ky has projectiles, but not ones that cut it well.
totally disorganized: there was apprently no organization there at all. they called people to play games after jsut assigning them to play another one. they didn't start anything on time. everything was suppose to start at 1. only MvC started at 1. most everything else started at 2. guilty gear? it started at 5. yes. you read that right. five hours late. they just didn't bother with it really. they also never set out fully clarafied rules or anything it seemed.
unsportsman-like conduct: I lost count how many sore losers I saw there. one of the round sof SF3. one guy was about to lose and reset the game. now thats a sore loser. the judge cried foul, and the guy didn;t say he did it. however his friends said he "accidently" hit start and select to reset the game. he was using a aracde pad like everyone else there. on those its impossible to hit those two buttons. especilly simaltaniously. for some reason the judge gave in and said just restart, but the person who was about to win gets a automatic win or something. argh. guy should have been DQed on the spot. that and most guys were asses. least the one I faced in smash bros and GG said good game and offered to shake my hand after he won. so not all of them are jerks.
idiots. their all just idiots. I had to walk out of the place sometimes because I couldn't take them anymore.
and my annoyance wasn't just limited to there. it exstended to what i got to eat as well. I saw a palce in the food court called caijin big easy. I like caijin food, so i thought why not. I should have chanegd my mind when i saw an all asian staff. but I continued on. I got jambalaya rice, corn, bouron chicken, and a soda with no ice. the soda..yeah..it had ice. the rice had no taste at all. the corn tasted like uncooked corn. the chicken. well..it didn't taste like bouron. heck, it didn't taste like chicken either. it tasted like..well...dog. I couldn't even eat it really and ended up throwing it out. *sigh*
however, all was not crap. day had some good points. I actually managed to win one of my 2 out of 3 in both smash bros and GG. there were some good players there who were decent individuals. nikki pissed some guy off ( I forgot the details). when i went to play smahs bros, i picked samus. everyone sort of boo-ed and said samus sucks and I should use someone else. when nikki played, she also chose samus and got the same jeers from the crowd. you know what? the person who won the entire smash bros tornament? they did it using samus. I felt like it was a indirect victory. I also felt an indirect victory from cmaeron beating the stupid fat white guy who kept changing the rules to suit his own needs. that, and when we were on the second floor of the mall, two black women were about to have a fight on the floor below us, so we leaned over the rail and watched. was like the roman colluseium.
that was my day. right now I just want to go lay down and forget most of it. only thing coming up is oral surgery monday morning. joy upon joys just keep coming.I can't think of anything to look foward to. only thing is maybe I'll be getting kingdom hearts 2 sometime this week. thats if the delivery people don't lsoe it or something.
