The Gods of RIpta Are Angry

[crossover_chick]

Apparently me managing to catch my afternoon bus yesterday despite everything really pissed them off -- I ended up stuck this morning on a near-parking-lot highway. AFTER we lost some time because the bus's fare box refused to work. I managed to get to school on time, but just barely, and I had to take the latest bus that got there before 9. This has set me back pretty hard in keeping up with tumblr and suchlike. Meeeh.

And this afternoon there was an accident of some sort involving a RIpta bus that screwed up the whole "go into/come out of" business at Kennedy Plaza. Fortunately that one didn't make me late -- in fact, I was smart this time and jumped on an earlier bus specifically to avoid that issue. Got home normal time, which was nice -- had to walk home in misting rain, which wasn't. It's cold out too -- isn't it almost June? Can we not have days like this anymore?

In other news, working on leveling up the Shaman character, Thrall -- won two bouts against the Innkeeper in Practice Mode. I'm gonna keep working on him and take him out to play in the "real world" later this week. In DragonVale, my Platinum's in the nursery and will hatch sometime on Friday, if my calculations are correct. I also rearranged a few dragons so all my tree-based dragons are together in one Earth habitat. Been working on a gradual transition to as many Giant Habitats as I can manage to speed up money-gathering, may do more with that this weekend.

And yes, the cough continues to hang on, though it was a little better today. Hopefully it'll be plain old GONE soon enough.

Anyway, supper will be on shortly, and then I gotta get to work on tags again. Later all -- and hope for a warm-up!

Well, at least you weren't the one doing the driving in the traffic? ^^,

Antoinette woke me up at like 2:15 this morning because she was wet so I was able to do some stuff.

Ambrosia won a Silver and I threw Prickle into Plant.

The win pushed me to 35, so I went and summoned the Eighth Island. It'll show up sometime Friday night I think.

I also FINALLY managed to breed the Jade. It has another 19 hours to incubate and then 30-and-a-half hours in the Nursery, so I'd guess it'd hatch sometime Saturday. No Apocalypse-type yet. I'm even leveling them up a little at a time and still nothing.

DC: 63,671,486; G: 229. I have enough to clear the Island and my Apocalypse-type-fails will build it up, too. I'll probably be using 25 gems to upgrade the left side of the Gemstone Island so the Jade can live with Chuck, V and Pablo.

I did get to write a little yesterday. Did a few sentences on my DragonVale story and then I went into my Story Scenes document and started writing out AL's roll in the Time War. Felt good to write again. :)

And now I have to go deal with all the crap that was piled on my desk when I was out yesterday. :/

Edit: Butterfly and the new Dream Dragon are live. If you want to avoid a [Double] Rainbow on the Butterfly, use Air + Firefly, Blazing + Firefly, Firefly + Smoke, Firefly + Sonic, Firefly + Thunder.

The Dream according to the Wiki can be bred by using any two dragons, in either order, containing the light element, dark element and any two other elements at the Breeding Cave/Epic Breeding Island. The page doesn't actually exist yet so I can't get any more info.

Edit x2: Looks like a [Double] Rainbow is unavoidable with the Dream. I'm gonna use Dungeon + Luminous.

One of the reasons I don't really want to learn how to drive -- this sort of thing would drive me around the bend. Bad enough when I'm sitting on the bus and that shit happens. . .at least there wasn't a repeat today.

Ahhh -- Angler got a Silver too, and I've got Glowy in Plant.

Congratulations on Level 35! Enjoy your new island when it arrives! Just be forewarned -- a forest of Huge Trees and a bunch of Boulder Piles.

Congrats! I just got the Plasma today myself, so once that hatches and grows up I can start trying for the Jade too. No Dodo, though, despite my tries. Getting more River dragons. >.<

DC: 153,020,448; G: 218. Excellente. Not sure where my Jade will live yet, but I'll find a place.

Yaaay -- glad you got to write! :D My own session was rather truncated today -- for some reason, Game Center insisted I log in again when I tried to quickly check in on DragonVale, and things got derailed as I cursed it out and tried to remember my password. Didn't get a chance to visit the park until I got home and could look it up. >.<

Bleeeeh. *pokes the crap*

OMG I was so shocked when I saw the update in the game. A whole new kind of Epic dragon!! Talk about wild! I thought we were getting a new kind of Rainbow dragon based on the silhouette. This is so cool. :D Birth of a new element! I threw together Diver (Shimmer) and Insidious (Ruin) on my first try -- getting a Crypt, which is at least a Dark dragon I didn't have before.

Butterfly! At last. I'll be having Litebright and Borogoves visit the Cave many many times.

Since the Dream isn't limited (wow, a non-limited release for once!), I may hold off for a little while and build my funds back up again. I drained it making food to level up Ray and Slythe to try for the Butterfly but I'm trying to keep the cash at 45mil since I need over 43mil to clear the Eighth Island.

I guess they can't really limit a brand-new epic. . . I'll give it a few tries while I work on other stuff as well. I should at least get some of the Dark hybrids I'm missing -- and if I get a Rainbow or Double Rainbow, hell, I need one to live with Seamus anyway.
