Rings and things (FFXI)
May. 11th, 2007 07:04 amLast night we finally, finally caught up on ToAU missions. I don't think I've ever seen longer cutscenes. The story was good, great in some parts, but about midway through some of the longer CSs my eyes just glazed over and I spam-entered. (Screenshotted the text so I could reread it at a later date though.)
Unfortunately I think a big part of the story would have been more interesting if I played other FF games (I only did FFX).
Interesting impact on IC stuff though. :D And since IC Thistle tends not to listen to all the political stuff, it's fine that I haven't OOCly absorbed all the info yet.
The only down part to missioning was that a Besieged started right at the same time we did. Really really rough (and was just trolls!), they got down to one general before finally pulling out the win. I swear, I was kicking myself the entire time it was going on. If we had lost... But we won! And the missions didn't have to be pushed back, so it all worked out.
This morning unfortunately another Besieged wave is building, but there's no way I can stay for it. :/ I did pick up my ring though!

I'm thinking Besieged deaths must count in that, because mine have more than doubled from last year.
Zoom zoom, time for work!
PS: 3 hours of broken sleep the night before last, 4 hours last night, about the same most of the previous week. zzzz But I think I figured out the problem! I was hitting the Sudafed too hard (allergies are killing me this year!) and when I take it too long I get that 'sleeplessness' effect. No more for a while! Who needs to breathe~?
