I'm terribly backlogged on blogging.  My memory's probably going to be foggy throughout most of this but I still have the screenshots to go off of, at least.

--Monday, 3/14/11--

Say hello to Shia! (from Pita-Ten)  Isn't she cute as an aco?~

Here's another instance of "spawn with 2 HP so even the poring is hard to kill".  Only this time I was a high aco so all my stats except for int were one, augh.  Some other aco named Mai Liny was also having the same issue so we just repeatedly spawned and whacked this one aco until we killed it. xD  Keep in mind we can't even use a knife!

And here's me as high priest, yay!

Later that night I ended up playing with Natalie...

We decided to go hunt for a Phen card, since I reasoned it would be useful for Sumomo, my battle sage.  As a side note, now that I've finished watching Nanatsuiro Drops, I'm utterly and completely in love with Sumomo and the series (and Nako and Nona as well xD).  JT + Lex = instant kill here. =D  Course, it actually turned out that I didn't need the phen card after all...but whatever xD

After that we decided to go see if we could do Magma dungeon with me using suffragium on Natalie.

Later I switched to Sumomo and we discovered the awesome, awesome, awesome power that is Water ball.  It is awesome.

Natalie giving me random items because I have like no equips at this point (look at my pretty cotton shirts).

And here's Natalie narrowly escaping death with 88 HP left xD

I can't really tell what this is...I think I tried going to some random dungeon and...probably ended up getting my butt kicked, haha.

--Tuesday, 3/15/11--

I try to log in and just hang around sometimes, even if I'm busy doing other stuff--just so people (and by people I mean Natalie) can know that I'm around.

--Wednesday, 3/16/11--

I can't really keep track of Natalie's characters anymore xD

She gave me this cute ribbon though, and...well, look at this image of Sumomo:

Yeah, it's perfect T_T

Me lamenting how I often hop on but am busy with other miscellaneous random things, like cleaning my room or chatting with someone or processing music or something or other.

Anyhoo, I wanted another Andre card to slot in my bible for another +20ATK (my attack is rather feeble at this point; i'm mainly just doing damage through my doublecasted bolts), so we went to and hell and...well it didn't take me that long at all to find one, yay.

And here's us getting screwed over at the entrance to Magma.  oof!

A bunch of leveling later, we got smart and decided to use my water endow to enchant our weapons.  It made a huge difference!

And a bunch of hours later I decide to do the platinum skill quest and get Energy Coat before heading to bed to catch a few hours of sleep before my final.  Yay...;)

--Thursday, 3/17/11--

Logged on and just decided to do some random stuff.  Tried out Lighthalzen Bio lab (floor 1 only of course) and surprisingly enough I can actually kill stuff in there, as long as I don't get mobbed.

Thor Volcano, on the other hand, just eats me alive xP

I did okay in glast heim church with my HP Shia though!  I forgot to mention that Natalie gave me this Orleans armor and orleans server--one which increases cast time but provides uninterruptible, and the other which reduces cast time.  So those are realllllly helpful (and hence why i don't need that phen).  My battle sage was using them but I handed them off to Shia so that she could use ME in glast heim.  Wasn't too bad!

Later that night I log on again to find Natalie in Morroc, who had apparently been looking at golden hair ornaments.  "Kind of appropriate for you to show up", she says ^^;

She gave me this cute flower band too!  I tried it on with Shia, inspired by this picture:

But I think I ended up liking the usual ribbon better ^^;

Me and Natalie's knight spent some time leveling in Abbey (lvl 1).  Our outfits do kind of complement each other nicely I guess~

Mainly I just sat back and ME'd once in a while, while healing and buffing.  Too bad ME doesn't stack xP

And just for kicks I brought Sumomo in once. xD  That didn't really end too well...but oh well.

We ran into another priest randomly.  Apparenly we were "little too high" level to party up, but he was doing just fine soloing--he had instacast ME, and was doing more damage than me too T_T T_T

Yay for ME spam xD

Meeting

Thursday, 7/15/10

Logged in and met up with the friend who introduced me to the server.  He's making some Touhou-themed characters--hence, Reisen.

We headed to Sphinx together to go hunt some Anubis (Anubises?  Anubii?) for exp.

I don't really know what to think of the general populace of the server.  For some reason it doesn't seem quite as nice as LRO, but that could be my resilience to change.  This Priest was friendly enough, though.

At times we amassed quite an army of angry followers...



Saturday, 7/17/10

Met up again and we went to go do some boring quests for exp.  Along the way we ran into two people who were doing the same quest as we were--they were even the same classes as us, which was funny, haha.

And here we are running into them again ^^;

After that we were pretty close to transcending, so we decided to go back to Sphinx to get those last few levels.  Soon enough I was 99, and very sparkly.  Didn't take too long for him to get 99 as well.

And hooray, we're high novices!

Thank goodness for the Bless+Heal NPC.  That's the only reason I was able to kill anything as a high novice (having 1 str/agi/dex doesn't really work out that well).  Unfortunately I still died to this thief bug xD.

But of course, soon enough I got to High Aco.  Yay!~

And then it was off to Payon Dungeon and then Firelocks, for more healbombing fun.

And before you know it, I'm a cute HP again!  Whee~

My friend even found me a ribbon, so now I'm back to my old look again.  Hooray! <3~  I'm even using a girl's diary for my weapon ^^;

After that we went to leaf cats for a bit for some jlvls, but then stopped because my stomach was in dire need of food (for once)...

High priest!~

--Tuesday, 4/20/10--

Natalie was on when I logged in, and she was trying to teleport around in Abbey to join in with a party that had already started going through.  Eventually she found them...I tried to do the same with Fate-sama, but it didn't work out.  Eventually a new one formed in Morroc though, so I joined in.  lol at the "Invyte plseas" in this pic.

Being a mage in the party was rather...well, a lot more boring.  You just cast SG and MS...and that's about it.  Actually I found myself using soul strike and jupitel thunder instead--we didn't have a bragi bard so my cast time was horridly slow and most of my SGs/MSs were useless anyhow.

Eventually Natalie finally hit 99 and rebirthed.  look at us as cute little high novices!  And in the meantime, taro logged in...and yes, this was at about 4:30AM.

After some difficulties with obtaining equipment (you can't use storage, OR trade), we set off into the labyrinth forest to whack some things...

Of course, with only 1 dex/str/agi, it was even harder than when I was a regular novice.  And I got killed by a hunter fly somewhere along the way xD.

Eventually we both managed to get to jlvl10, and became high aco/high mage.  Finally I got to look cute again! ^^

We were still really puny though, so I used my monk to tank some enemies while Natalie bolted em.  And yes I had a little bit of fun by using Asura Strike on one of them =P

Eventually we switched and Natalie used her sin to tank for me.  Taro joined us at this point as well.  And...well, I leveled some, though it took a while xP.  Good thing I had a mace/club handy.  I tried setting my hair color back to white at this point as well, as you can see.

Now that we could actually kill things (well, sorta), we headed to payon dungeon, where I proceeded to healbomb the heck out of everything =D.  And yes, that is me casting fire bolt in the picture =P (it was a scroll)

I tried going for the true Reinforce colors (as seen here), but it didn't really fit with my persona well at all.  Though I guess it -does- look sort of cool, in an interesting way.

So instead I went back to a red color scheme and was much happier.  At this point we headed to Moscovia dungeon to farm sharp leaves for awhile...we both wanted to get to 2nd class, which meant jlvl 50...I was planning on using the sharp leaf quest to get there, but you need to be at least base level 60 in order to do the quest.  So in that case, I looked through the other quests that didn't require quite as high a level, and saw that there was one that required 50 Huge Leaf, which you get from the dryads that I had been killing earlier with Miyuki-san in the same map as the sharp leaf NPC.

Of course I only had 49 of them T_T.  So I logged in as Miyuki and grabbed one more, and turned them in, and...I got to base level 59.  *facepalm*  At this point it was about 6 AM, so I decided to call it quits...



--Wednesday, 4/21/10--

Okay, so I got to base level 60 through Payon Dungeon and did the sharp leaf quest, but I still needed more jexp before jlvl 50.  I was thinking about doing the sharp leaf quest again, but thought better of it (probably a waste of jexp).  So I partied with Taro (who has orcface in this pic) and went to the Ice Dungeon in hopes that I'd be able to leech a decent amount of exp.  Sadly, it didn't work out that well with the exp sharing--I went back to payon and the exp was better.

And finally, I was a high priest again! =D



At this point I decided to go through and see if I liked any of the other color schemes:

Here's one that's all red...but that was TOO red.

I thought I might like this one because it makes the ribbon on my back match the one in my hair, but it also made some other aspects of the outfit a little darker, and I preferred the slightly paler look.

I experimented with some other colors as well, but really I didn't like any of them quite -that- much, though some of them did look neat.

And of course, here's the two wtf ones that look like you're wearing lava.

So in the end I did just end up sticking with the default color scheme, which is the same as what I used for my HP back in osro.  hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it! ^^;



--Thursday, 4/22/10--

Vina has bunny ears!




And orcface xD.  Btw I love how this version of the sprite just has the head totally offset so it looks even more bizarre.



--Friday, 4/23/10--

Now she's got a bow!

Then this guy started hitting on me.  Though he was terribly, terribly boring.  He didn't even say anything--he just used the heart emote a bunch.  He did "pet" ryo-ohki though, so he wasn't ALL bad. 9_9

Logged on later to find that Vina had rebirthed and was a high aco now!  Hooray!~

I brought out Alisa-chan (my new dancer character, who is replacing Subaru-san since I don't feel like making a taekwon), and went to payon dungeon to party with her.

We found no less than TWO spring flowers in there, and whacked on them, along with some random dude who was there.  I switched to my monk for this; it would have gone way too slowly with just Alisa-chan hitting it.

Michelle was on too...She had been collecting magic paint for the easter quest, so I handed her the 4 that I had, and introduced Vina to her ^^;

Taro and Michelle's bf were on as well, so we all met up at Glast Heim to party together.

It was mostly us tanking while Vina healbombed stuff, since she needed to catch up in levels.  I also got some experience, and got Turn Undead level 10, which worked nicely (well, except for the times when it failed xD).

After Vina caught up we went for Stings in search of gloves.  We...didn't manage to find any, though we did get Silk ribbons.  Look at ryo-ohki with her cute ribbon!  Though...unfortunately the location of the ribbon is a bit off...oh well, it matches with me now ^^;

I would have stayed and partied longer but at this point I needed to sleep; I wasn't well-stocked on rest and had to wake early the next morning...
