Overboard

Sort of went over the top with this one, in a way. Was thinking just about a conversation between Laelius and Allucius' fiancee just for him to establish who she was... now... I bloody well turned it into a romantic sidestory. Well, it'll turn into one, anyway... still, let's see where that ends up... *sigh* Despite all that, it was interesting enough to continue writing... even if I went back to the siege of the city (did a pre-siege naval skirmish beforehand, was kind of fun, got a problem with the port/starboard equivalents though, method I'm using now is quite confusing).

Touka Gettan... weird... reverse chronological is annoying me, especially since I'm not even watching it properly. Gotta love Shinsen and their sub of Ergo Proxy... licence that you corporate bastards! (I never said that...)

*shrug*

The Continence of Scipio

Part One, which I've effectively written more as 'the Continence of Laelius' than anything else. Rushed the end... well, it hasn't ended yet, of course, so *shrug*

Hoi:

The Continence of Scipio - Part 1

Hiatus...

Yes, consisting of one week... shite week at work, couldn't write... *dammit*

Wrote a page which was the end of the Siege of Carthago Nova and the start of the Continence... man that was annoying...

More... and more...

So... I wrote this conversation almost purely for shits and giggles to satiate my imagination and perverse desire to depict all enemies and being stupendously civilised when confronted with each other... it's a literary fault of mine, but screw you if you're about to mock me (!) Well, originally, I was going to go for that 1) Alexander, 2) Pyrrhus and 3) me and 1) me if you didn't beat me conversation, but that was a bit cliched. *shrug*

Anyway, it was fun to write that. Though transcription was disrupted by watching Idiots, Tests and Summoned Beings in its entirety (new-found respect for Emiri Katou *meh*) and the rest of Black Butler (a bit anti-climactic if you ask me, and I'll never get over Maaya Sakamoto voicing a pre-pubescent 'English' noble). *sigh*

Oh well, what's for next time... how about 'the Continence of Scipio' (never understood why it had to be 'Continence'!!)?

Peace... or something like that

Well, it's Monday already but I'm going to whine like it's Sunday anyway.

What a rubbish end to the season! Chelsea have the title, we got hammered at the Emirates, and Tottenham weren't in any position to enjoy any favour we might (though probably wouldn't have) given them, 'cos they lost at bloody Burnley!!

Anyway, here's a piece that takes dramatic licence to new lows.

Enjoy,

Bubi

Black Butler

So... 12 episodes of Kuroshitsuji down, another 12 to go. Mixed thoughts really (once again, this interrupted my attempts at transcription *sigh*)... it's set in 1880/90's London and the errors come so thick and fast, I'm just taking it all at face value and laughing. It's not bad, though its macabre tone and comic relief flit back and forth a bit dizzily, as though the writers had a collective inner-ear infection throughout all of production. Oh well, passable fare... oh crap, this wasn't supposed to be a review.

No matter... Drusus was originally called Brutus, but I forgot the latter's name, and 'Drusus' just sounds better for a spy... sort of... *shrug*

Siege of Carthago Nova - prelude

Yah, a short one this time (I'm feeling lazy... go away).

So, I'm introducing another character which I'll expand on with other sketches, though his actual role will be quite schizophrenic... torturer, interrogator and spy. Meh, Romans could multitask, so why not. Anyway... hello, quaestionarius! *sigh*

PS Guess what game I've been playing eight hours a day for the last week! *pfa*

So here is the first bit of the prelude to the Siege of Carthago Nova

Bank Holiday...

How ironic...

Been playing R:TR - Greeks on hard difficulty. Only 268BC and I have myself wars against all my neighbours. Ah well... only a game. On that note, as with all occasions when I have Monday off... big-spiel coming tomorrow, probably Trebbia part 2, or Tarraco, expanding on fictional character time. *grumble* Haven't been writing much at work past couple weeks... why? I actually have work to do! Shock horror, those people who pay my salary giving me work to do... damn them! *heh*

Byousoku 5 CM... seems very melancholy, rather repressing all in all. Very good backgrounds though, and anime characters with more than two facial expressions! Never thought I'd see the day... *sigh*

*shrug*
