Spring break is over, back to the busy life.
While on spring break, I did acomplish a few goals:
1)Find out the new Naruto game for gamecube is a hit and hard to find
2)Instead, buy a different game and beat it, yay!
3)Get to chapter 3 on Hordes of the Underdark
4)Buy a new, better dance pad
5)Meet my sister's boyfriend, which actually didn't involve any conversation between the two of us, but oh well
6)Play with my 3 kitties
7)Get money from parents in the form of cash, clothes, help with taxes and tuition money
8)Got my taxes done, they were pretty bad this year, I didn't think I'd be filling out more than 3 forms for my federal taxes until I had my own place, but I guessed wrong
9)Ate good food
10)Finally got a new dice bag, and a new D&D book to go with it, mwahahaha. Fear me, for I now have shadow magic. Yay!

Ah, one more day until spring break...anyways...
Startrek
I did stuff in this one, yes, important stuff too. In my pirate costume. So, we all got over our drunken stupidity of last game and actually went pirate hunting. Finding some, the group finds out my character has the best tactics, yay 2! Yes, it's that sad. So, the science officer, who spends most of her time studying the newly discovered deadly reproduction of purple mouse-like creatures, gets to command the ship in battle. Woo-hoo, ..., so, what do I do now? After figuring out the manuvers and with a little help from the DM, I sucessfully command our ship to fight and blow the opposition to tiny pieces, mwahahahaha. Sorry, got power happy there for a moment. Battle, sucessful, back to my research. We get Chuck's character locked in a room once he starts going nuts about not being able to make the "poofs", whatever those are. Pooky's hug of almost death, and a new airflow system for my mice later and we think there's another pirate ship that we missed, dang.
Overall, it was a fun session. I love rapid breeding purple mice :)

Yawn, it's a monday...
Good news, things are moving fast again with my monitor project. Look for two new argus monitors in the back room of the vivarium after spring break and many scratches and bites on my hands and arms. That's what I get for picking lizards that grow to 4' for my behavior study, where'd I put those welding gloves...
Anyways, I'm finally getting them and they should be in the vivarium near the end of may. I have lots of plans for these guys. Also, look for my poster in the CNR around April 7th for the Symposium, cause I'll be presenting a bit about this project.

Time for news on the Eberron game:
After fighting some nasty creatures, we find more treasure, yay! And I get hit on the foot by a big rock, not nice, thankfully I was healed right away. That darn rock on my foot took out two-thirds of my hitpoints... Anyways, after identifying our treasure and my new scroll of invisibility, we head out of the dungeon into the study of the guildmaster, who was stabbed not too long ago. While the others searched and found some of the artifacts we were supposed to be recovering, I find a glyph portal and a book on giants. The glyph portal takes us to a large room with lava, where two people are conversing. Aparently, the artifacts are being used in correlation to the construction of many constructs in a different city and things aren't happening quick enough. One person is an artificer, wands and staves everywhere *drool*, but he's one of those, um, squid people, can't remember what they're called. My character's new goal, find him, kill him, get his stuff. They dissapear, but not before summoning some kind of elemental swarm of tiny elementals. Much fun ensues as I find out my magic missile doesn't affect them and my only other offensive spell is fire based. Many of the party members get set on fire, point and laugh, and just as I am about to save the day with a vial of frost spell, the swarm dies. *sigh* oh well... So, we head back to the university to deposit the artifacts we have managed to recover and rest, thankfully. I really needed to bathe after stumbling through dead bodies in a dungeon. We also get to level up, happiness for me and the warforged, since I promised to take the make moderate repairs spell. He is now my, not so much meat, but iron and wood shield, yay! More spells, better knowledge and spellcrafting and another point in Int. It was a good session.

Alright, this is gonna be a long one, so get comfortable and ready for some RPG action.

First of all, the Exalted game on Friday, it was awesome. I like it when we can get a lot of hours in at one time, I just get into character better. So, here's what happened:
Daytime comes after the night of demon attacks, I much better prefer the dark, so I go to sleep in my garden. After a few nice hours of sleep, I get woken up by Kitten. He says the wierd preist is talking stupid to him and wondering where I am. I sneak down from my tree and try to startle the priest, but no such luck, see why I don't like the daytime?
Anyways, he has a plan to attract the demons by gathering all the ambassadors and rich folk in our city together in one place. Taken aback, yet intreagued, I agree to help, then seek out the Dawn caste, making sure he knows of this plan. We tweak it slightly once I learn that the deamons are most likely going after the sidereals soon. Bah, the sidereals can handle themselves, if they can't I'll laugh. So, at dinner, I see the other female in the party has returned and she bought us clothes. Fancy clothes, that I usually don't like, but how can I resist a green and gold kimono? So, we assign tasks to prepare for the bait trap, I mean, "party". I volunteer to decorate with some of my spies and surpries the others with my leet decorating skills. Sorry, had to say it. I so wanted color changing streamers, but my disguise charms only work on myself. Kitten was in heaven getting tangled in streamers and I made my hair gold for the occasion. As soon as people began arriving, I left to guard the sidereal wing of the palace. I don't do well with many people. Of course, this is when the demons start to attack. All by myself, fighting a cloud demon with several armed arms (hee hee, meaning each arm had a weapon), a funky wasp, and this deer-like thing made of tentacles. I killed the cloud thing pretty quick, but the deer was giving me a hard time. He hit me pretty good and caused me to limit break, which really didn't do much until the Dawn caste burst in and splattered him, spraying me with gooey nastyness. I thanked him heartily, meaning in my limit break state I screamed at him for not showing up, threw up from the disgusting stuff all over me, tried to hit him, failed, then stormed off down the hall. If he's gonna be all show-offish, he can just kill the rest of the demons himself.
So, after fuming for a while and trying my best to ignore the fighting nearby, I finally peek out a hole in the wall to see the Dawn caste challenging this very evil looking person. He stops, though, a first for him, guess the demon has some mind control or something, so I pull out my big throwing stars and hurl them at him (the demon). They tink off him like nothing and he dissapears into the party building. Now furious, I pick up my shuriken and go to sleep in my tree, still covered in blood and goo. Thankfully with my healing orchid growing on my arm, I heal fairly quickly. I sleep a lot, not really caring what the others do because I see them as non-persons while I'm in a limit break. About a day and a half later, I am abruptly awoken as the dawn caste pokes me, causing me to reappear and fall out of my tree perch. He grabs my shirt and pulls me back up, thankfully. After some scolding and making him get off my tree, I ask what he wants. He plans on heading south soon to go fight the demons closer to the source. I agree to come along, once I get cleaned up. Later that evening, I see the priest standing infront of the palace, so I begin to pace. After a few hours of this and playing with the guards, I go in to find him. It seems our diplomat has gone off on one of her "escapades" again, so it might be a little while before we can leave. (I take a quick fieldtrip here, but it's not important). This is where we ended, waiting to leave for the south and more demons.

That was definately a fun session, I can't wait until our next one. Now, here's the events of the LARP on Sunday. This one will be shorter, I promise.

The caern was filled with many new and strange Garou. I met some very nice people, and some I would really prefer to stay away from. I played apples to apples with the other cubs, our den mother and some of her packmates. We were helping her lupis packmate to learn more english. It was fun, but after a few hours, many people left. Our den mother left with Leaves of Ashes and eventually her whole pack dissapeared. Not sure of what to do, we stayed put until a sept member told us to join him for briefing for a war party. We followed and and were assigned into groups for the attack. I was put into a group with two other cubs, a homid ahroun like myself and a homid ragabash. We were led by Hawk, the sept alpha, and joined by Peng Lor, the beta den-parent/beta wyrm foe, and one other garou I did not recognize. I was handed a grenade launcher by Hawk, but did not feel comfortable carrying it into battle, so I exchanged it for a combat shotgun. I was later informed by my den mother that I should have just used my fetish gun, but I thought I would be more useful with a larger gun since I cannot yet activate the fetish on my gun. Anyways, we drove in this large Hummer to these three houses we were supposed to cleanse. We fought three creatures, one in each house. Hawk said they were wyrm tainted. I dealt the killing blow to the first one, am unsure how the second died, and myself and the other ahroun cub took out the third creature on our own as the others told us to. The fight was quite exhilirating and I only took one hit, which was absorbed by the armor talon I recieved before battle.
Upon returning to the caern, our den mother was very worried about us and we told her our story. I was supposed to undergo a mission for my rite of passage, but it was interrupted by our battle. A trial was then held in the caern. Peng Lor seemed to be the focus of at least the first part of the trial. Many of the events discussed had occured before I came to the caern, so I did not know much about them, but they seemed pretty serious. (Out of character- I had to miss a good part of the trial to leave for work, but would really like to know what happened)

Well, that's finally it. Phew, what a busy weekend, and that was just the RPG parts of it. Thankfully this will be an easy week for me so I'll get to relax a bit. Yay for long RPG updates!

Ah! What a crazy game yesterday! Well, what do you expect when Chuck joins your game I guess. Anyways, so we found this planet where the people had just dissapeared, so we believed there were pirates nearby. We found pirates, and after a quick talk, my owner (yes, my character is actually owned by another person) persuaded them to work with us. It was about then that Chuck's character started making havoc. He almost killed by big spider, got most of the crew drunk, angered our captain, etc. I locked myself on the holodeck for a while, very relaxing. It pretty much ended with us all on science deck, trying to figure out how Chuck's character changes species, ignoring the unconscious captian, wearing pirate suits, teaching pooky the stuffed bear to speak and really going nowhere. Anyways, interesting game.
Exalted's tomorrow, yay! Along with two tests, boo, but it'll be nice to get them overwith. Also, I'm going on a mission in larp Sunday for my rite of passage, or the first half at least, yay for becoming a cliath. Then the's the whole Dragonball Z garou idea I might go with, more info on that if it happens. That's it for now, crazy post done, crew out.
