crossover_chickRather miserable day at work (revolving around GL discrepancies, pledge payment discrepancies, more time on the phone than I would have liked, having to run after my coworker when she forgot her phone) and a fairly terrible ride home (involving heavy traffic getting out of the city and more near-accidents than I'd like to count). Welcome back to me being a stressed-out mess. >.<
On the plus side, the evening was pretty good -- Mom showed me a funny video featuring one of our favorite comedians, and we had a very funny episode of one of our other new shows, Would I Lie To You?, to watch over dinner. And then, after dinner, I posted Chapter 17 of "Fixing You!" On FF.net and on AO3. Again, mildly NSFW -- Victor indulges in some self-love, but it's not particularly explicit. At least, not in my head. Those not into that will be pleased to find the chapter also deals with Victor and Alice FINALLY setting their wedding date. Which makes sense, as the next chapter is the wedding itself. :p Get to start on that tomorrow, yay~
I also watched some good videos:
-->Helloween doing the next of the "Ghost Survivors" in RE2 REmake -- Kendo, the gun shop owner, braving the sewers to reach his friend's helicopter. (Yes, the SEWERS, I don't get it either.) Helloween unfortunately got killed JUST around the corner from the goal, sadly. :( He had kind of bad run, getting grabbed a couple of extra times and getting poisoned so he was basically dying slowly anyway. I looked up a successful (no damage even!) run so I could see the ending right afterward -- was duly impressed by with the No Damage guy's skillz.
-->Andy and Mike playing the "The Aelwin Augment Escalation" mission in Hitman 2 -- a curious mission that does not involve KILLING people. Rather, the goal is to hit people with a fish. XD Starting with one specific target, then working your way up to the target and 10 other civilians -- and by the end, you're also not allowed to throw the fish. You must hang onto it for dear life and slap your way through the level. Andy was his usual methodical self, while Mike happily went on fish rampages -- which served him surprisingly well in the final version of the mission. It was delightful and reaffirmed just why I love their Hitman LPs so much. :D
And then it's been the usual round of catching up on websites, and getting distracted by things, namely a polyamory blog on tumblr -- and the news that they're making Vampire: the Masquerade Bloodlines 2. Not coming out for another year, but -- something to look forward to, right? Gonna have to catch the trailer tomorrow. . . For now, I have to finish emptying out the inbox and then hit the sheets. So glad tomorrow's Friday. . . Night all!

Date: 2019-03-22 11:34 pm (UTC). . .Whoops. I got so caught up in dealing with all the, um, other stuff in that scene that I think I slipped into a moment of "it was always the modern era" there. ^^; However, I did a little reading up on the history of the flush toilet on Wikipedia on my lunch break, and it appears they were already starting to be in use in Britain in the 1850s! (George Jennings did the first pay toilets of that type at the Great Exhibition in 1851, and by the end of the 1850s, people were suggesting making sure at least middle-class and up homes had indoor "water closets.") And apparently the 1870s were a time of great innovation in toilets. XD So it's not INCONCEIVABLE that Houndsditch could have a flush toilet of some description, particularly depending on when it was built/last updated. (Burtonsville I've already established as kind of backwards -- and it probably also doesn't have the sewer system necessary to support more than just the Van Dort toilet!) I made a couple of edits based on my research to make it fit the time period more and suggest a flushing toilet is a new thing in the Home.
