Bit of a Shitty Sunday
Apr. 10th, 2011 10:52 pmFor the folks, at least -- Mom had a bad day at her job, while Dad's sick (whether he's got what I had on Tuesday or something else remains to be seen). Me, I'm just dealing with my red curse and my printer being out of ink.
Not much to report on, honestly -- I spent some time in Steampunk Gulch in the Sims, doing building projects:
( Completed Church and Cemetery )
I also visited EVL, but he hasn't done much as of yet, so I'll hold off on his update. Mainly, today has been about browsing the web, getting distracted on said web, and writing more on "Secundus."
-VD2: Don't you also have two drabbles88s you want to get up?-
Yeah, but neither feels quite right yet. I think I want to replay "Citizen Brown" before putting them out there. Make sure I've got everything kosher.
Speaking of video games, still getting my head around the wealth of Alice info that's been dropped on us. According to the forums, though, American's latest interview says that "Madness Returns" takes place a year after she's left the asylum. She gets released from the asylum sometime between August and November 1874, so it's likely A:MR takes place somewhere between August and November 1875. Ergo, she's 20. Hooray for knowing (or at least being able to take an educated guess at) her age!
-M: At last, huh?-
-HD: This would not be an issue if people just celebrated unbirthdays instead of birthdays.-
Yes it would be -- people could tell your age by the day you DIDN'T celebrate, then.
-HD: . . . Tea?-
-TTV: Well, at least this makes it easy to cross her over with my world, hmm?-
Easier, anyway. Though, speaking of that, I've had two ideas regarding CB + AMA/A:MR. First off, since Alice is getting new dresses in this sequel, perhaps Victor should get new suits. So he can match as they go off and visit the new subrealms.
-VD: Playing dress-up again, hmm?-
Hey, so's American this time around! Anyway, I only have a few ideas so far:
( Because this entry's getting rambly )
The second idea is something I have already mostly talked myself out of, but I felt the urge to share the username.
-TD: *laughs* Oh dear, another journal?-
I didn't give in! It doesn't exist!
-DW: *amused* Who was it going to be for?-
It was a next-gen thing -- a group journal for Victor and Alice's kids.
-MF: Which universe? I mean, I guess there's really only two you've gotten solid, "Solicitor's Ward" and "Secundus"--
Both. Ya see, I generally think of the SW-kids as young uns, while the "Secundus" kids are generally teenagers. . . . And I know I basically have no PBs for any of them, so it's a good thing it's just a passing fancy.
-TTV: *looking thoroughly weirded out, nods*-
Also that.
-OD: Yes, but what was the username you came up with?-
"liddellvandorts"
-M2:. . .What's so special about--
-TTV: *in tones of 'oh what a terrible pun'* Alice's last name is pronounced to rhyme with "fiddle." Try saying it to yourself again.-
-M2: *mumbles* *groans* Ooooh.-
-RPD: Looks like it would be too long anyway.-
Yeah, I should resist the urge to play Victor's kidlets when I've already got two hanging around the RP-space.
