Chilly Meh Monday

crossover_chickAnother day where it never got above freezing -- and while it's supposed to warm up briefly midweek, apparently there is a possibility of snow on Saturday. I do not approve. >( December is not a fun month, weather-wise! I've often wished I was born in the summer instead...now THAT would be a nice time to have a birthday. Meh.
*shakehead* Anyway -- here's the write-up for the rest of my day:
Work – It was a pretty “meh” Monday to start the work week:
A) There were a few lingering internet problems to deal with once we got into the office (fortunately they affected my coworker more than me
B) The GL was super-short and thus took like no time at all, so I couldn’t use it to help fill up the day
C) I only had a handful of people to contact about credit card issues (which is both good, because that means a lack of credit card issues, and bad, because, again, couldn’t use it to fill up the day – on the plus side, one guy got back to me that same afternoon to resolve his stuff)
D) And the exceptions from our processors came back, and I got to briefly worry that I’d somehow misplaced an item listed on the summary sheet when I couldn’t find it in the bundle (fortunately it appears that the item was added in error to the summary sheet, as per when I asked the processors about it) – I also have to fix up someone’s online pledge tomorrow, which is always fun ()
Yeah, not a horrible day, but not a particularly great one either. At least I was able to keep busy for most of it with the obituaries, some returned mail stuff, and a crossword out of the paper. We’ll see what happens tomorrow!
To-Do List –
1. Get in a workout: Check – another night on the bike, another night with A Series Of Unfortunate Events! And the unfortunate events for the Baudelaire children did indeed continue through tonight’s pedal session, which covered:
A) Olaf showing up at Uncle Monty’s house in the guise of his new assistant, Stefano (an Italian man with a mustache that was a “tad askew”) – the kids immediately recognized him, but Uncle Monty did not, forcing them to play nice for a bit (which really irritated Klaus, as he wanted to know what the deal was with the spyglass Monty carried, which was identical to the one in their father’s desk)
B) The kids using Monty’s favorite snake Petunia and some ink to pass a message onto Monty about Stefano being an impostor – unfortunately, while Monty believed them about Stefano not being who he said he was, he thought the guy was a spy working with one of his fellow herpetologists, trying to steal the Incredibly Deadly Viper, and the kids were unable to correct this misconception before getting sent to their rooms to get some rest before the trip to Peru, allowing Olaf to off Monty with his own snake venom samples
C) Olaf nearly managing to pin the murder on the Incredibly Deadly Viper (with the help of his accomplice the Hook-Handed Man posing as a doctor) and drag the Baudelaires off to Peru with him – only for Sunny to find the Incredibly Deadly Viper slithering around the Reptile Room and prove it was harmless by playing with it, forcing Olaf and the Hook-Handed Man to flee
D) The Baudelaires being taken to their next guardian, Aunt Josephine, a dowager living in a rickety old house overlooking Lake Lachrymose who was scared of everything except the rules of grammar – notable fears included not using the oven because it might catch fire; not letting Klaus near the fridge because it could fall and crush him flat; not using doorknobs because one might shatter and hit her eye; and not selling the house she had come to hate because she was ESPECIALLY terrified of realtors
E) The Baudelaires learning some of Aunt Josephine’s history, including that she was much more adventurous when her husband Ike was alive; that she and Ike were part of some sort of club that included Uncle Monty and their parents; and that Ike was devoured by the leeches of Lake Lachrymose after waiting only 45 minutes to go swimming instead of an hour
F) The Baudelaires deciding they had to get Aunt Josephine out of the house and taking her shopping to get groceries for dinner...only for Count Olaf to show up as Captain Sham, complete with a peg leg, and woo her by pretending he too loved grammar, causing her to go off with him while forcing the trio to continue shopping for food
G) The Baudelaires getting back from their trip to find Aunt Josephine gone, the large window overlooking the lake smashed, and a “suicide note” attached to the nearby chain to open the shutter over said window – a note that was full of grammatical errors, allowing Klaus to realize that she’d left them a coded message via the mistakes and decode it to reveal she wasn’t dead, but instead hiding in Curdled Cave
H) The Baudelaires just barely surviving the assault of Hurricane Herman as the house literally fell apart around them – which included the reveal of Ike’s room, full of pictures and newspaper articles about fires and a mysterious drawing of an eye, and three of Aunt Josephine’s fears coming true (the fridge nearly crushing the trio flat when it came away from the wall; the oven catching on fire when the gas line broke; and a doorknob shattering when it got superheated by the gas line)
I) The Baudelaires sailing to Curdled Cave to find Aunt Josephine...only to discover that she intended for them to live in the cave rather than face Count Olaf and was in fact rather put out that they hadn’t brought food; fortunately for everyone, Klaus noted that the cave was for sale and was able to coax Aunt Josephine into coming back with them by pointing out that if she stayed, she’d have to face realtors
J) The Baudelaires attempting to take Aunt Josephine back to civilization (and get some answers out of her regarding the secret society), only to be interrupted by a leech swarm – brought on by Josephine having eaten one banana recently (who knows where she got it); cue them nearly sinking into the lake as they tried to fend off the leeches...and getting saved by, most unfortunately, Count Olaf
K) And Josephine, desperate to save her own skin, handing over the children to Olaf, and Olaf considering showing mercy...right up until the point where Josephine corrected his grammar, causing him to abandon her to her fate on the sinking boat
Exciting! You really want to give these kids a damn hug given all the bullshit they go through. Tomorrow we should finish things off with a woeful wedding and more of Jim Carrey’s overacting. :P
2. Work on Christmas Gift Fic: Check – I got to it a little later than I’d intended (thanks to wanting to leave enough time to watch the final bit of the latest F:NV YOLO Remastered episode – see below), but I did indeed manage to edit one of my gift fics tonight – specifically, the one for Squid! Which was the one based on our private RPs set in the VTMB universe, with Nines and Melody getting jumpscared by Rose (Romero’s OC daughter) being a teenager when they both remembered her as a little girl. Because the passage of time hits vampires over the head just as hard as it does humans – probably harder, honestly. I was pretty satisfied with what I’d written before, so it was just matter of fleshing it out and updating some dialogue and whatnot...and changing the ending, which I felt was a little too jokey. So instead of Melody commenting that they didn’t like Rose being taller than them, and Nines pointing out that MOST people were taller than them, it simply ended on Melody saying they didn’t like Rose having changed so much, and Nines agreeing. *shrug* Might be more melancholy, but I think it fits better. We’ll see what Squid says when they see it!
3. Watch something on FreeTube/Invidious: Check – as promised, tonight’s feature was the last twenty minutes of yesterday’s Jon of Many A True Nerd video: “Fallout New Vegas: You Only Live Once Remastered - Part 21 - Reap What You Sow!” I picked up with P. D. picking up Veronica from the Lucky 38 so they could travel to Hidden Valley together and wrap up her business, and got through –
A) P. D. and Veronica visiting Novac to see if Dr. Strauss had any Turbo on her (she did not), and P. D. taking advantage of the opportunity to make herself a bunch of weapon repair kits to repair the Ballistic Fist she picked up from the Brotherhood weapons shop! Because, as it turned out, asking someone to repair it for her would cost almost 10,000 caps and wouldn’t even restore the item to full condition, while making the repair kits only required her to:
I. Steal a bunch of the needed materials out of the garage at the edge of town
II. Steal some scrap metal out of the Gibson Scrap Yard (along with some turpentine for Turbo-making purposes)
III. Wake up Old Lady Gibson in the middle of the night to demand she sell her even more scrap
IV. Use a “Fixin’ Things” magazine to get to the level of Repair skill needed to make the kits
V. Then use a second “Fixin’ Things” magazine to get to the level of repair to get the most value out of the kits before using them to fix the Fist and bring it back up to fully repaired
Much more cost-effective for an even better result! And now P. D. has a new weapon for sneak-attack-criticalling people, as the repaired Ballistic Fist has better base damage than then Protonic Inversal Axe, solid critical damage to add onto that (meaning it does basically do double damage on a crit – though apparently the calculations for how much damage a crit does in this game are WAAAAY more complicated than you might think at first) AND the ability to “Uppercut” people in VATS, allowing P. D. to add an extra 15% damage to her hits. Basically, this weapon will DESTROY anyone she manages to sneak up on. And all it cost her was 4 caps for the scrap metal she got off Old Lady Gibson –
And 11 hit points, as she somehow managed to injure herself walking into the old motorcycle parked in the middle of Gibson’s garage/bedroom. Jon was initially like “what the flip?” but then decided to let the random physics damage stand because he felt it was an apt punishment for P. D. stealing from Old Lady Gibson, who is apparently a really nice woman and didn’t deserve it. Seems like, just this once, P. D. WILL be suffering karma for her actions. XD
B) P. D. taking Veronica back over to the bunker in Hidden Valley so her new buddy could try to present the data disc they got from Vault 22 to the Elder – only for Elder McNamara to refuse to even look at it. Because he didn’t care that it contained valuable information on how to grow plants that absolutely thrive in the wasteland and thus could help them become truly self-sufficient – the Brotherhood of Steel weren’t botanists, and he didn’t think plants would help them get Hoover Dam. A hurt Veronica tried to explain how, if they used the knowledge to feed people, others would support them and maybe even join their cause...but Elder McNamara said that the Codex forbade them from letting outsiders in. They were guarding knowledge those outside their order could never have, after all. And while he acknowledged that the BOS was probably going to die out as a result, he couldn’t lever himself out of his isolationist ways. Veronica left in disgust, and afterward told P. D. that the whole experience had shaken her so much that she was tempted to leave, maybe join the Followers of the Apocalypse and put her knowledge to USE for once, even if she did still care deeply for some in the Brotherhood. And while Jon really wanted to encourage Veronica to leave and start making her own way in the world, as he thought her best ending was going with the Followers –
Well. This was a YOLO run. And he knew from experience if Veronica left, P. D. would be pulled into a violent confrontation with some BOS Paladins. So, in order to keep P. D. alive to see the end of the game, he had her tell Veronica to stay with the Brotherhood. :( Veronica was initially okay with this, convincing herself that anything she did without the BOS would feel “empty” and that she needed to stand by her fellows –
And then the pair left the bunker and were immediately confronted by some asshole Paladins declaring they’d overheard Veronica’s conversation with the Elder and were determined to stop her poisoning his mind. Fortunately, P. D. had prepped for this by throwing on her Naughty Nightwear, reading a magazine, taking a bunch of chems, and downing some booze, so she was able to use her enhanced Speech skill to convince them that ideals got stronger if they were challenged, so Veronica’s questions actually did the BOS a favor. The Paladins grumpily noted that she’d do better to just do as she was told and not undermine their Elder’s authority, and warned her that they would not tolerate her loyalty wavering again before heading off. Cue Veronica realizing that things would never been the same for her in the BOS and that, no matter how things ended, they would end badly for her. :( Fucking hell, I hate the BOS… And, of course, because permanent companions are not allowed in YOLO runs, the whole thing ended with P. D. banishing her back to 188 Trading Post to dig around in the dirt for scrap. :( I am going to have to get this game just to give poor Veronica a happier ending, aren’t I? Ugh...
C) P. D. heading over to the NCR and its science camp just outside Camp McCarran to give the Vault 22 data disc to Dr. Hildren (along with an invoice from Alice at the Crimson Caravan company that she’s been carrying around for a while)! Because if the Brotherhood doesn’t want it, somebody should get some use out of it. Dr. Hildren was thrilled to receive it, waving off P. D.’s attempt to tell him about how dangerous the Vault was and concentrating solely on the fact that the data was largely uncorrupted and thus sure to make the board of directors sit up and take notice. He thus gave P. D. a healthy 1,200 caps for a successful job –
And then, more reluctantly, gave her 600 more when she started making noises about selling the data disc to other interested parties, making sure his lab had some “healthy competition.” XD Because P. D. is, indeed, an asshole at heart, and deserved to be smacked around by that motorcycle. But doing all this DID get her up to Level 23, which was nice – she increased Sneak to 100, maxing it out (and making her the Sneakiest motherflipper in the Mojave); Speech to 63 (allowing her to boost it all the way to 100 with her various drugs and nightwear); Lockpick to 65 (because locks are just getting harder), and Repair to 44 (because she will eventually really really REALLY need it). *nods* She has definitely come a long way from her humble beginnings in Goodsprings!
D) And P. D. ending the episode by popping back to Big MT to get some more cazador poison glands from Dr. Borous and make some Party Time Mentats, Slasher, and Turbo on her personal hotplate there, before returning to the Mojave and parking herself in, amusingly, Goodsprings. Because there’s no place like home. :P
And that was that! Next week, Jon plans to try and get P. D. up to Level 24 – and he apparently knows just where to go to get the XP he needs...looking forward to seeing just what it is he’s up to! :)
4. Get my tumblr queues sorted: N/A – as per usual on Mondays, there wasn’t really anything to do on Victor Luvs Alice (N Smiler), and I didn’t even look at Valice Multiverse. *shrug* We’ll see what gets queued up tomorrow!
Aaand I have officially stayed up too late, because that is my curse, apparently. *shakehead* Time to rush off to bed and hope I sleep a little better than I did last night! Night all!
*shakehead* Anyway -- here's the write-up for the rest of my day:
