Sure it's after bedtime, but once more I'm pissed instead of sleepy. (And no one better blame themselves for this. I'm an adult, I could have refused to go. So hush.)

A third person was needed for the Creeping Doom BCNM, and though I'm a DRK and not the recommended BLM, I was asked to go. I have zero faith in getting much of anything from BCNMs, but I know that the person asking had been wanting to do this and I had plenty of seals, so I agreed. (I'm wording this as carefully as I can. Again, I blame no one but myself. I could have said no. No one should try to take the blame for this. Edit: I'm rereading this over and over. I hope it doesn't sound like I'm blaming anyone. I'm mad at the BC and myself, not anyone else. Seriously and honestly! So no one better feel bad!)

First run: We timed out. The darned mob had no MP left, but we couldn't finish nuking it before the clock ran down.

Second run: Beat it, but got crap drops. Worked out to about 7K per person. (Hardly covering the food and drinks used, ignoring the value of the time invested.)

Third run: Damned BCNM lived up to its name, and we were doomed. One mage died, then the other died. I started meleeing, because that's what DRKs do. I successfully hit my 2hr macro for once, but that wasn't nearly enough to beat it when the damned thing had the MP to still cast Cure III on itself.

How in the hell was me, with my "wet paperbag defense", supposed to deal with this? Slowed, paralyzed, and using the slowest weapon on the game:



My second death in two days, when I usually go so long with no deaths. I'm losing XP on DRK, and we're not going to be gaining XP for another month. I got (another) R3 from Merlee so I didn't lose that much, but I still want to cry.

As good of a screenshot as you can get of me meleeing Bitoso, when I'm in the most butt-ugly armor ever invented.

I know LS people will laugh at this (because I used to wear subligar all the time), but dammit, I can't stand doing it anymore! I looked ugly! I've gotten used to looking so good in my DRK AF and yag hat, it was horrible seeing myself looking so bad. :( (Oh ho ho, can we get any shallower?)

To be fair, the night before this was totally opposite: The LS was the funniest it's been in a long, long time. Yossy in Zubis's collar (*purrrr!*)! Caboose wanting endless hugs! "Friendly orgies" in Merlee's bed! I laughed out loud so much. :) I love you guys, and I'm so happy we can have so much fun when the "adults" are all off doing other stuff. :)

*rolls endlessly* But it'd be such an outstanding picture if I could! I've thought about trying it anyway, but my drawing skills wouldn't do it justice. :/ If only I had Draque's talent, there would be Zubis/Yossy images all over the place~!

You're so cute when you reply with just "No.". :D It fits the image of you-and-collared-Yossy, too!

Yay, look! Zubis is back and ready for more! *re-pounces* You're my favorite PLD ever, know that? And almost my favorite beardy guy, too!
