Fenris, Finally XD

I return to my estate and find Fenris, all Hot and Bothered XD And finally, The Kiss XD (I was a noisy gamer at that time.)

And then there was the emo moment when he leaves after the Fenris Fest.

In other news, I didn't expect to see Teagan and not feel anything XD Perhaps it was my Hinata character who was more smitten by Teagan and my current Hawke persona is way too into Fenris. XD Besides, Teagan here seemed less charming. Or maybe it's just the Fenris bias in me talking.

And of course, there is the main quest XD Loads of awkward moments experienced because of the Meredith-and-Orsino tension (^^U) Although I want to tear Anders into smithereens, I chose Orsino. Sadly though, it seemed to drive my Fenris even farther away, and I had to be with Merrill :T

When I came to the part with the Fried, I mean Pride Demon, I died about a million times so I reloaded to the portion before the Meredith and Orsino Awkward Moments, and decided to relax by doing other quests. Grrrr I hate the numerous Swaying Shades Surrounding my characters.

A Fourth Heart!

I have restored the first railroad and I get a new Heart Container! Now I got four. (In my previous game I reached until 6.)

Serving Coffee

I have finally managed to collect all that I need and have my own barista for Toasty and Biskit's. XD

On Disliked Elves, Angry Qunari, and Time-Consuming Dragons

In any quest, I always bring Fenris with me, not only because I have Certain Intentions for him, but also because I need a warrior in my party. Since Bethany has joined the Circle of Magi, I always bring Anders as my mage, and then I switch between Varric and Aveline for my last companion. I never bring Merrill with me unless she is locked into a slot for a specific quest because I prefer not to have her and her issues along with me (hindi naman ako galit) XD

Also, when I talk to her, I choose less friendly tones. However, when she asked for the arulin'holm, though I initially did not want to, I decided to give it to her. You see, even if I prefer not to have her around, I still try to be reasonable XD I gave her the arulin'holm because I have no use for it anyway. If, in the end, she ends up hurting herself then that's Her doing. XD

In other news, Aveline has finally managed a new love life XD She and I were talking when her New Boyfriend came and wanted to speak with her. I stepped out and waited for ages by the door, until I heard laughter and decided there are more important things for me to do XD

As for MY own life, I came home to find MY Fenris waiting for me by the fireplace, playing with Kinoko, my Mabari. Oh Fenris. See he has such a big weapon.

After he left, I found my new servant waiting for me. She thought I was going to make her a slave but I broke the good news to her that from now on she will be paid for her services. She almost fainted with surprise because apparently, everyone in their family had been a slave, and she is the first ever paid servant among them.

On the side, Petrice has been killed by a Qunari. The Grand Cleric who reminds me of Judy Dench did not seem to mind, although I am sure she would have scolded me if I threw a party in the Chantry for being rid of Petrice the Pest.

Speaking of Qunari, I also came to face the Arishok.

Fenris suggested the Arishok and I fight to the death. (Yes I let Fenris live after his Wonderful Suggestion. And yes I still have The Same Intentions.)

After what felt like forever (or so I thought after trying to defeat the High Dragon later on), I finally defeated Arishok. It was kind of tedious though. I had to keep running so he won't rush into me with that super quick deadly pouncing, and so I could replenish my Backstab Mana and my Healing Potions. I also kept my Mabari around so he could attack the Arishok during his dazed moments.

After a series of stressful events, I came by the mansion of Fenris and we shared a bottle of vintage. Nothing steamy yet. Hahahaha.

Afterward I went to the quest started by Anders, until we came to the Bone Pit and encountered the High Dragon. After what felt like an eternity of fiery suffering, I decided to reload after Anders' quest, and move on with my life. I might try to come back and KILL the High Dragon when I am stronger.

SIMSed. Totally.

So I've been an addict for Sims 1 and 2, in my less busy days of old.

Then came Sims Social.

I had no plans of playing it partly because I've been too busy, plus it seemed to me like a "limiting" version of the computer Sims games, which is how I somehow felt about the Sims game in PSP. I also assumed it was going to be a slow game especially with so much going on inside it.

Then a friend sent me an invite. And I've been hooked every since (>.<) Well, actually that was just a couple of days ago but I feel like I've been glued to it for two weeks.

I am assured somehow that this addiction is all just part of the initial thrill and the nostalgia of playing a Sims game all over again.

So first, I had to create a character. *excitement buildup around that time*

Of course she had default clothes on which I was dying to change since I do not exactly like this kind of outfit (^^U) But by this time I've changed her hairstyle and hair color. I decided to make her blond with the "Tokyo" hairstyle, because I wanted her to look close to Yume.

I was so amused by the selection of hair color because they reminded me of those hair color samples you see in the malls or salons, and in some cases they have a booklet of these hair loops XD

I picked out comfortable casual wear that would suit a "Yume" slash Quirky Girl character. And here she is:

Because I have been so absorbed by Yume's busy and active life, I will just share photo updates next time XD

Baby Sheep Coming

My sheep Kira has gone over to the "mommy" area of my animal shed - and the calendar says she will give birth really soon! This is also good news for Milk, one of my cows, because she wants to stay in the "mommy" area so she can have her turn in giving birth XD I've bought the magic solution already (^_^)

Lisa vs. Lisa

Things seem to be moving forward between Joe Espresso and Lisa Latte. They only used to have coffee at Toasty and Biskit's, until they started dating, and now Joe has decided to propose to Lisa!

A Surprised Lisa Latte

While Lisa Latte looks like she's blooming, I cannot help but see Lisa Cuddy in her:

A Calm and Dignified Lisa Cuddy

XD

Ending with Anders

Most of yesterday was spent in Hightown, Lowtown, Sundermount, and the Gallows (^^U) At least I was able to accomplish a lot in those places, if not in my own plane. XD

Since I was initially flirting with Anders until I was swept off my 5-star boots by Mr. Lyrium Lover, I had to properly "end" it while we were at his clinic, as we discussed about the "Tranquil solution." I guess he took it well since our friendship have kept increasing after that (^.^)

I was surprised though, that I actually have That Option with Aveline, though she isn't my type. So I just decided to assist her Difficult Self in snagging Donnic.

My favorite part was returning to my estate, finding an Apologetic Fenris after his outburst, post-Hadrianna-murder. I went to visit him in his mansion but no Exciting Conversations yet. Maybe next time XD

Cozy Homes

Oh. I forgot XD

Further to the previous post, I was in Castletown and went inside one of the homes - and I was reminded of how cozy the homes in these games look like (^_^) I remember from before that further into the game, I will meet the Anoukis, and they have icy yet pretty and cozy homes. They are like those small but organized, neat, and warm homes in Harvest Moon and the older Final Fantasy games (^___^)

Getting Back on THE TRACKS

As promised, I'm updating on what I chose to play next in DS - I decided to restart another game I've played about halfway - Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks XD

In the last game I started I left with six hearts, and now I'm back to the basic three. I notice though that I am calmer about playing it this time, unlike the first one when I would get all panicky about hiding from the guards or the phantoms in the tower. (^^U)

So yes, I started right from the beginning again. On last night's game load, I started at the point when Yoshi (what I named my character) discovered Zelda's ghost in her room.

Then later on, I (re)claimed the Spirit Flute!

This means I can't use all of my game time in public places because I would look odd blowing on my DS XD

A Series of Fiery Events

So I have restarted the very first Tomb Raider and I am currently at the Atlantis levels. I retried so many times but I died in various ways. So I decided to call it a night and just get back to it when my mind is more active and my motor skills are more coordinated XD

On some occasions I fell into that lava lake, and when I eventually got across that whole thing, I was burned to death by the fireballs from three horrible mummies, and then finally, at my farthest point, as I got past poisoned darts and was preparing to get through the blades, a huge boulder rolled over me XD

The Long Reef...

... is indeed long. XD

Roomies: Chieli, Yoshi, and Yagy

After five months (at least according to Melba) of not getting out of their home, it was Yagy who finally decided to catch the morning sun of the first day of August. He earned plenty of bells by selling fruits, recycled items, and unwanted gifts. He paid Booker a visit and used the lost notepads to write everyone a letter and send them gifts.

Way back, Chieli had three roommates, but two of them got married and moved out. The other was turned out to be a pathological liar so he was kicked out. For the longest time, Chieli lived in the huge house with five rooms (main sitting room included) all by herself, spending most of her time with Biskit and Kabuki (and Punchy before Punchy moved away - this is different from the Red Punchy who has his own home).

Eventually she decided to welcome new roommates, and for now she has Yoshi and Yagy living with her. The fourth roommates has yet to arrive.

Oh Fenris!

Hahahaha XD

My sister told me about Fenris before, and how popular he is, and she even showed me a screenshot, and I was like, not my type.

HOWEVER!!!!!

XD

I played and played and played, until this lyrium-marked beauty with a strong presence entered the scene and I was so smitten I laughed out loud XD

So I have made it my new aim to make Fenris my lover! *forgets making Anders a pastime altogether*

Good thing Hawke isn't shaking so much when she talks to The Intense Fenris.
