Guilty Pleasures

I've been playing Viva Caligula online a bit. I dunno how Nagi gets into these games, because they're so arbitrary. Real life combat is so different. And who knew the old whores would be some of the most dangerous unarmored prey? The biddies gang up on you and kick. The crossbow is my favorite weapon of the four I've picked up so far. There's no microphone on Marilyn though, so I can't scream into my laptop for more rage/insanity power. Pity, that.

Heroes is back, so I'm watching downloads with Brad and Farf. Season two is not thrilling us. ( spoilers )

Farf continued asking his anonymous Nexus questions, one involving a story with monks, one that brought Tribbles into the Nexus, and another asking for volunteers. Yeah. I'm his ex, and he didn't think I'd figure it out? Anyway. Looks like Schwarz in my reality should maybe fear for their lives. I haven't decided whether to bring it up to them yet or not.

wireboundheart came into the Nexus super-angsty, which led to Aya-kun comforting him and Hisoka... fixing him. Hisoka asked for training help later. ((Aya comforting Yohji continued here and eventually turned NSFW. Hey, it's Yotan.)) Later, Aya-kun had an angsty answer to a Nexus question about having kids.

((This scene actually takes place a while back in time, about June 30, from here.))


( Scene, part 1 )

Duke Devlin showed up asking about fangirls, so of course Weiß turned out for it. feline_casanova's Aya unbent on something for the first time ever, so of course it was on the wrong thing and led to Yohji asking a question.

Sanzo's back in the Nexus and asking questions about changing other realities. He and Hakkai have been feeling unsettled lately but I can't be arsed to go digging after why. ((But not everyone is displeased.)) Yohji's even more upset than he was before, but I am really not going to go digging into that if I don't have to. So why do I get the feeling it's all going to get launched into my lap at some point? Experience.


I talked to yet another Saxon-era Master in the Nexus. I like dr_y_a_n_a better.


The Nexus Awards have been decided and almost no one is happy. What a surprise!


I'm still writing to Jonathan.



((In dear_mun, other!Schuldig laments what has happened to him and his role as Nii's pawn in the upcoming War.))

::The whites of Schuldig's eyes are reddened from exposure to tear gas, and he has faint blue streaks in his ginger hair. He looks tired yet jazzed.::



Even some of the nonviolent protesters were kind of my people: As a black column of bulky riot police approached along a picturesque tree-lined road, one transvestite protester said: "They've been nice to us so far. Well, I've been groped a little - but that's OK." Hell, I did some time among the non-violent myself, mostly as part of the Clowns' Army. I can't wear black for so many straight days! Farf stayed among the hooded violent. He was too frightening as a clown. See some photos from the front.

I spent a lot of time listening to Nine Inch Nails' Year Zero, which made a decent soundtrack for protesting Bush and global imperialism. Sometimes Farf and I shared the Podphones, which some other protesters found cute. By the way, protest sex is great. Adrenaline is nature's aphrodisiac.


I check out for a few days, and the Nexus gets infested with LOLs. There was sneezing kiwi bird who induced enforced nudity. Some people found it awkward, which mystified Kaa. ((Farf answered the same Kaa question about nudity in a dear_multiverse post.)) Some people have been de-aged five years by a mirror, which created a wave of cluelessness, rewind, fear, and evil. I have yet to see any naked people who've rewound back five years, though. The shame LOL is pretty damned funny. For me at least. Meanwhile, some people are still trying to deal with older LOLs. Rabbids are freaky.


Queen Bitch is back in the Nexus, omigawd! I am entertained. Especially when Yuuko starts talking like her.

One of the Edward Elrics came to the Nexus looking for advice on a love triangle he's in. One of the members is an alternate of him. Too funny.

Yuuko is looking for weird philosophy and happy things. I'm right at home there.

((Kanan's pregnant, and the daddy is Hakkai. This isn't gonna end well. War continues to develop.))

Farfarello's trying to win me over through some weird combination of giving me space and then giving me no space at all. How many times does he really have to nuzzle the side of my neck while we're lying in wait for a target? And when he has his electricity going it makes all the hairs on my body stand on end. Scheiße.

Sometimes I get the urge to try to help people. I should probably just stick to my own, though sometimes that group can seem damned small lately. Which is why I keep trying to expand what's "my own" lately. Goku's asking about his missing memories. He's not quite "my own," but he's close enough.

Nagi's researching for a new business proposition he's thought up. I have to remember to check in with some production, porn, and acting people I know. Mom has to help his baby out.

Sometimes somebody so... unique shows up in the Nexus that I'm irresistably drawn over to rubberneck. That's how I wandered into a discussion with the new Superman in town. Wow. Just... wow. Yay for strong telepathic shielding! ((There's a kind of Superfreak after-party in good_rpers_rock.))

I met this chickie Mitsuko in the Nexus, and she was all hard and sharp and blatant and young, certain and cocky in her skills and sociopathy. She'll either learn that there's always someone bigger and badder than you somewhere that you have to be subtle and smart for or she'll die.

((And the circle of pranks goes on as Tenpou steals Farfarello's book collection on a tip from Nagi, who wants vengeance for Farfarello's "rain" of blood ruining Nagi's apartment, which was Farfarello's vengeance for Nagi destroying Farfarello's dungeon, which was Nagi's vengeance on Farfarello for leaving Asuka's corpse in his bitch Yohji's bed. *whew* In dear_mun, Aya-chan's complaining about her mun, but it gave Schu the opportunity to catch up with her a bit.))
