thistlechaser | Girls! Girls! Girls! (FFXI)

But first, one year ago today... Apparently Hot and Cold turned one year old today! How wacky is that? It feels like a whole lot older than that, but I have a screenshot from 12-18-2006 of me being all clueless about how to do it -- I successfully dug up that chest and got all of one item! I had forgotten that it used to be just one single thing in the chests, too. It's so much nicer now.

So anyway, girls! The ugliest crafting mule on the server got her apron! I like her model, but her shades make her look so awful. :/ Oh well, now she can make reraise items for LS people! And once I get ~40K more GP, she'll have the keyitem to make them from scratch, then maybe I'll make some to sell.

Bored of Jugner, I chased Campaign around the world for a while today. (Then I saw how annoying and how much smaller reward you get while chasing, so went back there...) I ended up in Pashhow for an attack, and saw the gaggle of Dancer NPCs. How totally and amazingly silly is it to have these women running around on the battlefield? Yes, dear, you're fighting giant monsters who want to kill you, so why ever would you want to wear more than a bit of lace and frill? Armor? Ha! Metal to stop those big sharp weapons of theirs? Who needs it! You can stop them with the flower in your hair!

I mean seriously, their torsos are mostly bare! Not even the bit of frilly lace over them! You know, torsos, where your important organs are? Sheesh. The only reason I don't stab every Dancer I see is because with them around Bard is no longer the silliest job in the game.

If you're not going to wear armor, get off my battlefield! No bare skin! And no flailing around while fighting, either! *grumpy old man*
