: "Stole it from the leader of those dragoons. Figured he wouldn't be needing it for much longer. I can't use it, so you can have it if you want. No charge."
: "Could they have dug their way in from below?"Catherine looks up from her notes, and sees a book sticking out of Harlan's back pocket. She taps him on the back."Can I have that?" she says, indicating the book.
: "Hmm? Oh, yeah. Here." Harlan passed the slightly-used Bolting tome over. "Any idea what it is?"
I'm not even just talking about Katia's drinking problem. Okay, I can understand. Things go badly and you seek escape despite a nagging feeling that perhaps booze isn't the best way. If it were just the drinking thing I could (probably) get by.I lost patience with Prequel after the author screwed over Katia for the zillionth time, despite basically every suggestion trying desperately to turn the situation around. It had a lot of pretty good ideas, and occasionally very nice artwork, but...to slightly misquote HAL, sometimes the only winning move is not to read. I can only stand to see the main character get shat upon by the universe so many times.I got back into it after reaching the same position as Sirus and then recanting. For one thing, it's one of the most charming webcomics I've ever read and it managed to make the Elder Scrolls series (Which are a horrific car crash of my least favorite tropes) interesting to me. By setting it in one of the least favorite games of the whole seres, no less!
For another, I still hold out hope. That's what the webcomic is all about. She's given plenty of opportunities to give up on her life and give into despair, but she always keeps trying. The suggestions didn't help turning it around because... Well, how many times have you been in a situation where the rational part of you is saying 'THIS IS A BAD IDEA STOP STOP STOP' but you just can't because your brain is wired to do these things? I've been in that situation more then once.
I don't judge people for leaving it. Christ, I'd suggest it, when Katia was being screwed over that time it felt like hell. But I attest that to the quality of the writing: it made me so invested in the character and got me to hope that she was going to get out okay, so that when it fell apart I fell apart too. That's some damn good writing there.
It is a fun little time-waster, isn't it?Tomodachi LifeSuch a great game.
Pretty sure the only other 3DS game I've sunk anywhere near as much time into is Animal Crossing. Great fun.
Hmm. Are you on Steam, Japa? Maybe we oughta get around to playing this thingI was never able to find anyone to play through co-op with me and I hated playing with random public people ._.Pretty much this.
Harlan ignored Kyle's "contribution" to the conversation.: "So she made it home, then... thank the gods."
Lamden, on passing by the statues leading into the church, made a short gesture towards the sun statue and nodded, closing his eyes. And a moment later, flinched when Harlan and Kyle spoke.: "Wh-..!" The cavalier scratched the back of his head.
: "Well, surely my modest demeanor put you all off guard, hm?"
: "I suppose that's part of it. Still though, it's pretty obvious you are no mere priest. Even in a theocracy, the city guards don't typically ask "how high?" when asked to jump by a religious figure. Not unless he was either high-ranked or well-placed."
: "I'm impressed, Lamden. Never would have thought that you'd command this much respect."
