Fashion Advice

 Lina has given Pasifika some good fashion advice before: 

A shirt that looks very nice AND boosts Hexa Strike? It's a winner!

This time Lina, Dhm and Nakago encouraged Pasifika to aquire an amazing (and very, very expensive) club as well as a nice melee attire - which didn't even cost any gil, just some of these new "sparks"... kids these days. It's a good thing the clothes didn't cost gil, though, since Pasifika pretty much had to sell the shirt off her back to pay for the club. All those savings...

The clothes turned out to be quite fashionable, as several people seemed to be wearing exactly the same thing. Or perhaps the attire has a very generic appearance... As Romidiat always says:
 "Can you tell what kind of equipment I'm wearing? You're probably thinking that you've seen this gear before, but it could be something entirely different despite the similarities in appearance." Words of wisdom.

While the clothes are quite common, the club isn't - although there are some with similar weapons (or perhaps the very same).

Oh yeah?! Well MY spiky friend says I don't have to give you anything!

Adventuring again

After a long pause, I spent some time in Vana'diel tonight. While it wasn't as exciting and wondrous as when I first started, it was nice, certainly better than I had expected...



- I did a couple of GoV pages with Lina. It was easy, I got to smash things with a hammer, and I got a little exp, too. Hexa strikes and light skillchains~ Nice.

- Chatted with friends. Not much, but sometimes it feels very lonely to adventure with no contact whatsoever so this was nice as well.

- Waved at a passing linkshell member. Also offered to help, but wasn't needed... aww, I would've liked to be useful; I can open doors and I'm a decent decoy, and that sort of things.

- Met a stranger. A short and polite conversation, all straight out of the auto-translate dictionary, and he needed my help (but not for anything long and difficult). Perfect.

- Astarael expressed a desire to get a drom from a lottery pop NM. Said NM immediately popped and dropped the item. Nice~


Maybe I should do this more often... if I have time.

Moogle Mumbo Jumbo

The Moogles are always up to something... So far, Pasifika hasn't fallen to the Magian Moogle's suspicious promises about superior weaponry, but now the Moogles said they could enhance adventurers in addition to weapons.

They even teamed up for this, the Nomad Moogle and the ah-so-mystical Magian Moogle.

It seemed like a good idea at the time. Shiny and all.
Let's take a look at the replay.



It certainly did... something.

And it looked suspiciously like the Mighty Maidens' Super Crusher Jig. o_O

Lina and Pasifika wanted to see the effects in action, so they headed up to Sky, to pick a fight or two with the pink flamingoes and the sprinklers.
(That may not sound like the most heroic of battles, but these birdies can be mean.)



Of course, it was a nice chance to try out Lina's new sword as well.



And do some shiny skillchains.



Including Pasifika's own solo skillchain. :D



Finally, the mysterious effects of the Moogle mumbo jumbo were revealed.



Not bad, but something like this might have been nice... *_*

Promyvions revisited

The Promyvions used to be interesting and even scary places. I remember so well the excitement, and all the planning, strategy and discipline that went into preparing for a Promy run... not so much the actual details, though, just the athmosphere. And the fact that everyone protected the white mage with their very lives.

Now Lina and Pasifika "helped" someone go through all the three Promys in one go. The main problem was, that the old guides didn't work anymore, because all the dangers they warned of, all the strategies they suggested, everything was out of date and useless.

The new "strategy" is to run up, give a sound beating to the boss, and move on to next, so no actual help was needed, just pointers about what needed to be done. It's not dangerous anymore, not exciting... barely fun, and even that is starting to wear thin after a couple of runs. ;_;




The place is still as strange as ever, enchanting and weird, and running around inside the Promyvions unafraid is a treat of sorts.


And then there's this, which is fun in it's own way. >:D

Mage vs. Mage

In the shiny corner, we have Pasifika, lvl 75 whm/nin!

She's wearing her Noble's tunic and crown, and dual wields clubs, Brass jadagna and Deae gratia.

In the shadowy corner lurks Romidiant, a lvl 74+ rdm/nin!

He's wearing the Tactician magician's cloak and wielding, err, a shiny dagger.

The match is about to begin, but let's rewind a little to see where this is coming from. How could Romidiant turn against his best adventurer friend?!

Romidiant has always been ready to adventure with Pasifika. Always ready and willing to help, always polite, never telling white mages shouldn't melee... Such a perfect adventuring fellow.

Just a while ago he saved Pasifika from those quadavs, when yet another one of Luto's schemes backfired.

Pasifika is always happy to help him out, too, with investigating the emptiness or whatever needs to be done. Every now and then Romidiant bakes her a loaf of homemade bread they can share while on the road.

Romidiant has been steadily improving, both becoming more powerful and wearing nicer clothes. He has come a long way from wearing the useful but plain race specific vest. :D He's starting to catch up with Pasifika. And... it seems he'd like to surpass her.

That's understandable, but a duel? With Pasifika? But... but... I blame it on that mithra, Luto always has such twisted ideas... @_@

And so Pasifika had no choice but to duel with Romidiant. He always looks so impressive and intimidating with the great katana Pasifika got for her, although Luto probably took credit for that... but he would prefer a dagger?!

It's a nice one, though, pretty handle, decorated blade... but totally useless against Pasifika's stoneskin. And no en-spell on it, until near the end?

Romidiant made a valiant effort to sleep/nuke, but looks like no one told him casting poison first wasn't such a good idea. Romi clearly hasn't practiced soloing enough! Perhaps it's time for him to do things on his own, maybe take some more of those 30m a piece jobs from Luto he's been doing lately. >_>

He might like to avoid Pasifika for a while anyway, after that last Hexa Strike. Got a little carried away, sorry about that. ._.

Starlight Celebration!

The celebration is on in all three capitals, and each looks dazzling in holiday gear. :D



The chreerful music is from Kevin MacLeod's site at incompetech.com.

I will never be afraid again...

I will keep on fighting till the end! :D

Caution: this is video has it's fair share of blinking lights, watch at your own risk. :o
If you decide not to watch, here's a plot synopsis: Pasifika met Maat and they fought a bit, but the old man gave up before they really got started! D: I never knew he was such a big wussy. :P There was much rejoicing. ...and I'll have a rematch later, and see if he can give up quicly enough when I have Black Halo.

1 picture worth 6 hits

:D

Well, six-pics-in-one, but technically it's still one picture, right? :D
