A Bit of Happiness

I write to you today with some happy and hope. :P
The Girl Scout cookies came today, and thats something great. Oh how I missed you, thin mints and trefoil shortbread<3 *insert om nom nom here*
I'm also feeling alot better, and within a few days, methinks, I shall be completely better :3

I've recently been playing Albatross18 again, with a happy, blissful demur. OGPlanet is shutting down operations on March 10th. But the game's original creators, NTreev are taking over sometime in March. They shall again dub it with its proper name, PangYa! I have just been fully enjoying the game, tomahawking, spiking, putting and grinning, with hardly a care in the world~
With NTreev in charge, I highly believe things will change for the better. Below are but a few screenshots portraying the wonderful adventures I have there. Arin[featured in the obvious two] is the pretty sorceress and current character I'm using, along with Lola my caddy, seen in the first picture.

[A note to fellow Telos': Contact me about PangYa! later in March if you wish to join me on the green! ;)]

Katovic Sickness Expert Samsung

Whew. So much has been going on.
For starters, my brother's got his computer all set up now. We actually make a pretty good team on GE. I am soooo jealous of his awesome 19'' Samsung monitor.
I've gotten about half of the Katovic questline finished aswell!
Zander was the only one who survived the journey to the Ice Wizard's Tower.
Some views of the snowy land

I think Invierno is a very nifty character. He wants me to make the infamous soup now, so I've got quite alot of work to do. I can't wait to find out the old secrets hidden in this land of frost and snow.

In other news, I got sick. o_O Tis rather annoying, but I've still been chugging along through school, snatching up some A's in math. :D

Teiron and Idge are making progress leveling, they're now 53 and 58, respectively. I can't wait for summer, that's when I'll start the grind to Expert.

So...This is What's Up

The nightmare is begun.
My brother's got his new compy up and running.
His new keyboard came today.
And his monitor's on its way.

He's already gotten on GE and pm'd me, or even popped up where I'm leveling. e__e
It's TERRIBLE.

I'm making some progress in leveling Teiron, whose now 52. Only 48 more levels, yay...
I really need to get my hands on some good gear...I think the fact I'm boredly leveling my others instead of commencing the grind to Expert with the Original Three is because I'm worried they'll fair horribly...I need something to super motivate me! Aside from the obvious server-wide broadcast and up-coming Equitis.

Onto a different aspect of the game. The storyline. I AM DYING.
...To find out more, that is. I must learn who the Ten Nobles are! I must get Gavin Jameson!
I must figure out what's going on Bahamar! x___X

...I think I take this storyline too seriously....but I can't help it! IT'S SO DAMN GOOD. ;o;

I leave you with this:

Current Happenings!

So, today is the stupid holiday. I can hardly contain my joy.
There are advantages to Valentines, though. Like candy. Yes...lots of yummy candy.

So in my Granadoings as of late, I've gotten the Original Three all to 1%. Only 99 more to go! XD
Bahamar proves to be a fresh challenge, but I'm iching to max Anathema and Defender there so I can go back to the Toubkal Plane and level Avant Garde and Incantation, which I plan to get after Anathema. Hopefully by then I'll have an excellent Rod with which to use it. And also hopefully by then I'll have an Elite 84 Graciegote. I desperately want one. :/
I'm leveling an uber fun team, which I like to call the Slicey Specialists Squad. It consists of Caly, Sharif and Viki. I've maxed Escrima as of last night, yay! And now I'm using Dolbalada Corte and Twin Blades. I've been having thoughts of the future lately, and I do think Sharif will become a Veteran. This Targan's just to awesome not to be <3

Ide's introduced me to the world of DJ Max, a game for the PSP. She linked me to Colors, and then I dug around YT and found more gems, below. :D


He's so much like the Wizard! However this video confuses me in that...why does she like die when they hold hands and flowers burst out? xD



I hope Ide unlocks the images from Colors, because I'm determined to make that guy my new all-around avatar. :>

I plan to be on for CW tonight, however I have a feeling it'll be emtpy and dry, especially since it's Valentine's Night.

A Little Bit of History

So, I decided to take the time to dedicate a blog post to the history of my family.
I suppose for one, you wonder why my characters retain their last names, even though technically Almontri is their last name.

Well, for starters, no one in the family is blood-related. xD And the only ones who were, well one of them died. That was another scout, Yuki, and was cousin to Branivyn. However, she got deleted and the rest is history. :P
In the story I've been crafting for them since I started playing Sword, they're basically a bunch of friends together under one roof. (I've thought up an epic nice house in Auch for them to live in!)
I'll give you a little sketch about each character then. Not the UPCs though, since we already know about them. :P

Brister Devina
Is a mercenary, who sometimes works with Caly and Teiron at Pegadella.
He grew up in Bristia, parisipated in the Three Years War(*HINT*HINT*! Think, who else was in the Three Years War :D), and then headed off to Granado, albeit by the tides. If I talk too much more about him I won't have time for the others. xD

Teiron Vesco
Also a mercenary, is very level-headed. The way she joined the House was through Yuki and Branivyn who were in Coimbra for awhile, collecting cabosse for Lisa. As far as I know, she's a citizen of the New World. (ie, haven't figured out her past yet cept that her dad died. o_o)

Sullivan Black
The leader! She's the one who started the House of Almontri. Originally from Opoluto, she left when she was a young adult and headed for the New World. Named after her father, a semi-famous sea captain. Leaving behind her parents, and Marco, whom acted as Captain Black's assistant and then later became her adopted brother, was a tough choice for her, but she had to go see the New World.
Strong, confident in her goal and others, but not entirely in herself, she's yet to realize that the House owes everything to her.

Zander Escure
Now he has one of my favorite pasts<3
Born the son of an Illieran noble, Lord Cochrane Escure, he grew up with the finer things in life. His parents and more or less his bulter realized something unusual about him as he grew up. They realized he had an inherint nack for magic. So most of his life he went to exclusive magic schools, and didn't spend much time at home. Due to this lack of bonding time with his parents, they grew apart, and he eventually came to believe they didn't even care about him. They had anything but a nice farwell when he sailed off to the New World. He's changed alot from his former self though, no doubt thanks to Sullivan and Marceil. Logical, contemplating, and always searching for more magic-related knowledge.

Marceil Fiarreck
Born in the New World, her parents Joe and Donna were eager to plop down in Reboldeaux, as it was busiling at the time. Her father, a long time miner with an eye for things found a huge coal deposite ten miles east of the then new Stone Pit. However, before they could strike it rich, a noble murdered poor Joe and Donna, oblivious to the fact they now had a fifteen yearold daughter. She struggled and headed to Coimbra, where she helped out at the Sea Elephant Cafe, which is just where she eneded up meeting her long time friends, Zander and Sullivan. The jokester and medic of the family, she's goofy and silly as ever, in spite of her past.

Branivyn Alkin
Daughter of an important general of Vespanola, she came to have a love for magic under her mother. So, when she was eighteen she decided she wanted to see the New World. Amazingly, her parents let her go, the only escourt being her cousin Yuki. She has a special bond with Zander, as they are the only magic users in the family. She considers him a bit of a brother as he's always teaching and directing her in magical endevours. She also has a love for finery. Pretty dresses, elegent balls, and all that stuff.

Each of these characters reflect a part of my personality. Sullivan is the powerful, kind leader I hope I can one day be. Zander is the logical, highly educated and calm side of me. Marceil is the goofy, silly side. Brister is the tough, serious side that sometimes won't let go of something.
Teiron is the relaxed side who keeps things in check. Branivyn best reflects the part of me that is now gone. The part that I used to be when I was a little girl. Loving dress-up, tea parties, that stuff.


An off topicy side note to Lune and Ide and their comments on my last post- NO. He can't join Telos...D: (not exactly...he's a fine silly guy and all but I don't want my brother in my clan :|) And he is the one who inspired my gaming and online life. He's the one who started sGE, then I followed, we lost interest in that, and then later I rekindled my love for this game and asked him to look into Sword.

Hadoukens, Otite and Stuff

Well, the last few days have been interesting. I've been having bouts of demotivation, followed by bursts of inspiration. Recently I was soloing with Deirdre, and she's resting at 55 for the time being.
http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q237/Lady-Ashia/Battlesmith.jpg

On Saturday I had a great time farming Pure Otites - Yes, it's possible. I did actually have fun.
And made my first 92 Elite - The awesome red pulsating Castor Wing! Later that day I watched the end of Avatar. I'm rather sad it ended, now I have nothing to watch! I got on for Colony Wars, pumped and ready for some fighting and fun. However, the only fun or fighting that happened was Kyral attempting to hadouken Sulli with Vincent's Tornado Holding.

Today has been alright. I farmed some more otite, and got seven. I don't really know why I am though, I'm holding out on the market to have a good Beam-Gun I can snatch up.
I later had the honor of trying on the only Wizard Elite Le Rouge in all of Orpesia. :]
http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q237/Lady-Ashia/EliteLeRouge.jpg
I absolutely love how Zander looks in Le Rouge. I'll seriously have to get one someday for him.

I'm getting excited about the new computer coming. It's not mine, but my brother's. And it's not new, it's his friend's old one. But it's still exciting! Because now I'll have one less person to fight with about the compy. :P However, my only fear is that he'll be able to come on Granado and bug me...or worse, join Telos.

Not much else to report, so I'll see you all tomorrow.

February!

So it's here. The month of shortness, the useless holiday, and the Super Bowl.
Hooray for the Steelers, they won! xD
There weren't too many good commercials, sadly. The Doritos were the best, secondly the bugs teaming up for the coke. Jennifer Hudson sung the anthem very well, I liked how she gave it something of an edge.

I'm nearing the end of Avatar, and I forgot how much I loved the show. Makes me wonder how M. Night Shyamalan's possible live-action movie will be.

Last night I watched one of my favorite series, Fringe. And there were two characters in it that made me freak out. Because of their names. Ernesto and Gavin. o______________o

But hey, if anyone can make game characters come alive, it's Walter! 8D
(I kid, I kid, of course. The one looked nothing like Gavin and Ernesto was never seen)

Not too much has been happening in the world of Granado, just been training people. I can't seem to powerlevel Grace too well, so I'll leave her to level with Mika, Idge or Deirdre.
My musketeers are chugging along, Teiron's almost 50. Caly and Lisa are alllllllllmost to 48. It's killing me, I want Corte already. x_x

Not too much more to report, other then I plan to join in on Colony Wars this Saturday. I wonder if we'll see some action.
