It's over 9000~

Last summer the popular idol girl Mumor joined forces with Uka, the dancing mithra, and they gave quite a show - and showed what's what to that foul fiend Ullegore, too.

This year Uka started the show alone as Mumor was nowhere to be seen, but in the end the girls did the grand finale together, with stupendous results:

Pasifika and Lina of course wanted to help their colleagues (everyone remembers Lina's and Pasifika's unparalleled summer event/show, right?), but they had some materialistic motives as well... It was rumoured that combining some hard-to-get prises from the summer event would create a shining furnishing, the celestial globe: "With a gentle shake, this exquisite crystal orb twinkles with the light of innumerable stars."

The star globe Pasifika got earlier had been a bit of a disappointment - it resembles a huge coloured egg more than the stars at the Heaven's Tower - but this was supposed to be more shiny. Much more shiny!*_*



Helping Uka by cheering and dancing earned Lina and Pasifika the pretty new yukatas - which gave them access to the expert levels of the minigames like chocobo catching (but why can't Pasifika also catch mandragoras, they're so cute too... ;_;), and that gave them one piece of coveted globe - a comet fragment.

The the traditional goldfishing game also had a new stellar surprise in store, but Pasifika had little luck catching fish. Lina, on the other hand, soon caught more than she coud comfortably carry, so she gave a couple of pretty shiny fish to Pasifika~

Lina also ate some of the big fish she caugh, but isn't that what a kitty is supposed to do with such catch.

Finally it was time to cheer Uka on again (didn't we beat that Moogle, I mean Diva already? o_O) to get the cosmic designs.



After that, it was just a matter of combining the elements into a shining orb of brilliance.


So cosmic... so shiny.... *_*


But... wouldn't it take at least two galkas to pick this thing up and give it a "gentle shake", like the instructions say!? @_@

Adventures with Lina

Lina invited Pasifika (and Dhm, too!), on an exciting adventure in Halvung. A lot of others were there, too, and... Cerberus.




The three-headed doggy won in the end, but it was fun while it lasted!
Pasifika tractored and raised more than she has in the past months combined~ ^^;

Adventures with Dhm

Donthitme the brave tarutaru took Pasifika adventuring - it's been such a long while! - and of course his idea of adventure was to kill important boss monsters (Important for what? I still have no idea...) and get some nice shiny experience points.

It was quite exciting, because all of this happened in areas where Pasifika hadn't yet been at all, ever - except that Abyssea areas kind of look a *lot* like the old areas. ^^;

Much of the local monsters were new, though, and Pasifika got to see some interesting specimens.

This is the first big bad boss Pasifika was taken to watch. (She couldn't do much else at her current level, after a long break, and with no idea what this thing was like, but she did cure the tarus quite a bit!)


You can't see it clearly from the picture, but this... thing... was called Rani, although people called it cat for some perplexing reason. No, Pasifika did not hear it meow, no matter how hard Nt told her to listen! o_O

Whatever it was, it eventually died - or broke, if it was a machine, which it might have been, maybe - and Pasifika got a merit point.


Next monster in line was the big bad bird Pasifika had already been warned about (in the cutscene as he entered the area), but it wasn't quite as big or scary as advertised.


It died and Pasifika got a merit point. You can actually see two more people getting them as well in this picture, at least if you know they're there.


There was some actual exping as well, in a couple of exotic - yet somehow very familiar - locations.

The chests were really... weird. Some were fun, others frustrating, all were weird. And yes, we did help defeat that big thing, Dhm had no problem tanking it~





All of a sudden Pasifika was ready for the next "Maat fight", which she aced, naturally...

or not, but passed, anyway. ^^;
