I bought a extra-small black zip-up hoodie from H&M, five white boyfriend-style oxfords, one babe pink oxford, one light blue oxford, a pinstriped popover oxford, a pair of black moto booties, a pair of light gray-and-silver Timberland boots, a 1920's flapper dress that you already saw, a pair of gray corduroy jeggings from American Eagle, a pair of super skinny Levi's in a black fade, and a new black purse since my clay-colored one is starting to break down.

I also bought my babe breakfast and bubble tea and a few little things :3

I'm really into the look of wearing a string bow tie made from ribbon with a boyfriend-style oxford as a professional look, hence all the oxfords XD

Ahh, I introduced the kids and my partner to bubble tea a few weeks ago; it was very funny to watch

I hope you get that job Em. $18/hour is good money.

EDIT: Also when are you gonna PM us about character creation changes?

Yeah, $18 an hour and full time is the minimum I need to having going on before my partner and I will be willing to give up our pretty snazzy apartment in favor of getting a townhouse. Our goal to be homeowners before she's 30 (she's 25.)

I need to finish condensing the Dust rules before I start converting peeps over. The lady wants us to meet some musician friend of hers as the neighborhood pub tonight, but tomorrow I have nothing planned so I should be able to make a good bit of progress. I would to be sending out PMs with converted character sheets to y'all this weekend.

I'm also getting to play in a DnD game IRL! Naturally, I'm playing a slutty paladin (Oath of Devotion) with one level in Warlock with the Hexblade pact so that I can use my CHA stat for both my casting AND my attacks. Who needs strength or dexterity when you can just operate on hot anime girl logic and have more powerful attacks the bigger stronger your bust force of personality gets??

I like how Ulfur goes from, discuss things with Bezaleel, to invade his realm lol

He’s mostly teasing Moira with that!

Hehe, you are more than welcome to leave her in my care for a little while. She might come to see I'm not as oppressive as I am made out to be while I'm asleep lol

In reply to Bezaleel Shades (msg # 732):

They have plenty to discuss once they’ve finished this bout

Indeed there is!

Good - I'm happy for you. 18/hour is life changing income.

GUYS

 I GOT THE JOB????????????

HECK YEAH

In reply to The Empress (msg # 736):

Boom! Great work!

Good job!

Just don't increase your standard of living. Save up that cash. And don't let it just sit in some 0% bank account. At least put it into a 360 money market or something that gives a small interest rate until you're ready to buy a house.

I'm so happy to hear, congratulations!

Congratulations. Glad you got the job.

Grats! :)

Now that I'm working again, and given that my fiancee gets the lion's share of my free time, I'll only be able to spare an hour a day on updating and whatnot. It usually takes me about 15-20 minutes to update a thread, so y'all can expect me to update about 3-4 threads each day. Given how many players we have, that means that at present I'll update fully every two days, but that as the game develops and people get involved in more threads we'll probably even out to two full updates a week, and sometimes a bonus update on the weekends.

I think that's pretty suitable for the long term :)

I can certainly work with that pace!

How're you settling into the new role?

I'm doing well! it's a lot of phone work, but the environment is both professional and relaxed in a really nice way. Plus, the place is pet-friendly and there are doggos about!

It's hard to suddenly balance writing with spending time with my fiancee, and I've been choosing her over updating. We've also been trying to make our meals from scratch instead of ordering in or buying frozen meals, and that takes prep time too. I'm actually staying up right now while she sleeps so I can do some updating XD

Well I'm sure everyone appreciates that you made the time to update. Just don't push yourself to stay up too late, Empress!

I'm glad you are getting time with your fiance though and enjoy the new job despite all the phone work! I find it is really rewarding to cook fresh meals and I rarely eat out or do frozen. I find it helps if you have someone help your prep. Especially if you have to do a lot of cutting of vegetables or meats. Frying/searing/sauteeing those vegetables and meats, as well as making sauces and sides.

Glad it's working! I'm with you on finding time, I try and update after my partner and the kids are asleep, in my lunch break or if I have insomnia

I don't think it'll be mating with anyone anytime soon anymore.

News from the frontier:

- Hollow Knight is wonderful, beautiful game that is tough as balls and reminds me of when I first started Dark Souls and had to stop playing because I had no idea how to dodge and shielding so much and so often had caused a repetitive strain injury in my left index finger

- Would a revolving speargun with explosive bolts actually work on a biplane? These are the questions that haunt me when I wake from my dieselpunk dreams

I think a single revolving explosive speargun could work on a biplane. It also depends the size of it and the spears though.

I miss you all, except Theadeacus. He knows what he did (I kid)
