September 9, 2010
I got up and stretched. I made my way over to the kitchen to make my lunch and breakfast for the day. I wanted a sausage/egg burrito. It was a nice break from the waffles. I decided to jog my way to school; I might as well get more done on the Marathon Runner and Fitness Nut challenges. I had 300 kilometers left on Marathon Runner and 30 hours left of Fitness Nut.
Everything was going fine for New York, that is. Jogging through the crowded city was kind of like playing Maze Runner in real life. Well, everything was going okay until I ran straight into a goth chick. Well didn't think I would lose my first kiss this way. Her lips tasted a bit like raspberry. And it had a really draining sensation. The girl quickly extracted herself from me.
"Oh shoot, are you okay, share?" The goth southern belle asked
Drained: -50 mood, and you're going to pass out from exhaustion.
"Damit, I should have just kept using the treadmill for the chall- ZZZZ."
-.-
Anna Marie was not having a great day. She thought today might be a good day after a shitty summer vacation. A new school for her senior year. Place far away from the first victim, Cody. She just locked lips with her boyfriend and put him into a coma. She didn't want this curse of not being able to touch someone without putting their life in danger. As she was about to walk into the school's gate, a pink-haired missile slammed into her. Her lips tasted of strawberry before she was able to disconnect from the pour girl. The pink-haired girl had passed out before Anna could have made sure the girl was fine. Anna Marie had to carry the girl to the nurse's office.
"Just set her on the bed. Miss Nanami most likely did another video game binge without proper sleep. She should wake up in a few hours." The School Nurse
"Shame she's going to miss the orientation day." Anna Marie
As Anna Marie was leaving the nurse's office, she started having flashes. "Ugh."
Anna Marie saw the girls' memories. Of a different school. Of her classmates. Of tragedies that kept happening one after another until she was shoved into an elevator. An elevator that leads to a maze, like in the Temple of Doom. The pain of being cut and slashed over and over and over again. Until she thought she reached the end, and then she felt what it was like to be a porcupine of needles. Bleeding out, looking at Cody.
Anna Marie had to shake off the memories. All the memories of Hope's Peak Academy. She had to do the day orientation to meet her classmates. She wasn't the only one who was joining this year's senior class. Lance Alvers, Felicia Hardy, and Devon Bemore were also in the same boat for joining the class in their senior year. It felt odd not seeing Chiaki's classmates from Hopes Peak. No Soda flirting with Nevermind. No Gundam showing off his animals. It all felt missing. I found myself playing games on my phone. I felt as if it was my way of having fun… I somehow even managed to beat 20/20/20/20 mode in Five Nights at Freddy's during lunch.
"I guess this is the power of the ultimate gamer. Huh?" Anna Maria said as she flexed her fingers, the rocks near her would move and mold into different shapes. "Well, being dumb levels good at video games isn't her only power. Poor gal, I wish I didn't hurt her."
Anna Marie decided to check up on the girl and make sure she woke up before the end of the day. When she got to the nurse's office, the girl was reading a book. Handiness Vol. 2: Turn off the Water!
"Oh, you're the girl I ran into this morning. Sorry about that. I just jogged to school this morning, and the moment I saw you, I crashed into you. You weren't hurt too bad?"
"No, no, I'm just fine. You're the one who spent their whole first day back in school in the nurse's office. I'm sorry about that. Let's do some introductions. I'm Anna Marie, though my friends back in Mississippi call me Rouge." Anna Marie
"Oh, my name is Chiaki Nanami; some of my friends call me Chi. So what did I miss? While I was out?"
"The syllabus for your classes, a few other new students for senior year. Oh, and a girl practically matrix dodging flying baseball. Here I took the time to grab extra copies of the syllabi for you." Anna Marie
"Well, the nurse is about to discharge me for the day. I would hate to impose, but do you have a car. I doubt I could run or walk home."
"Oh, bless you're heart, no. I have a motorbike. And I don't have enough room for a passenger to ride along. Also, I don't have a sidecar." Anna Marie
Yeah, I don't need the girl getting zapped by power again and falling off my bike while I'm driving her home.
"It's alright. I'll just see if I can get a ride with Gwen instead. Hey Anna do you maybe want to go out to a cafe sometime? Not like a date or anything, just to hang out and get to know each other a bit more. It's not like I'm romantically interested in you or anything, even though you took my first kiss and you're smoking hot. I'm going to shut up before I say something more embarrassing. Zip."
"Hehehehe, it's fine, sugar, you're doing just fine. Yeah, I wouldn't mind a coffee, 'not date' as you put it. It might be fun." Anna Marie
We ended up chatting and joking for a good bit until the blonde girl, Gwen, from our class came to pick Chiaki up. I put on my helmet and road my bike home. Today may not have been all that bad.
-.-
"Thanks for the ride, Gwen. See you tomorrow."
I waved my ride goodbye, then double-checked a few things online. There was no Professor Xaivor or Magneto running about at this time or the decades before I got here. I couldn't find anything on Ororo Munroe. So that at least confirms she isn't the queen of Wakanda or being treated as a weather goddess in Cairo. She might exist. Doctor Hank McCoy disappeared around the 1980's. He was never announced dead, so most likely he is in hiding. I doubted I would find anything on Remy LeBeau. Looking into James Howlett, he did serve with Captain America in World War 2. Went MIA a few years after V-day. I wasn't going to chance looking into DP. That is a one-way ticket to 4th wall break vill, and I just don't want to look into a contract killer. William Striker was found dead in 1988. Nothing on the Summer's Family or Jean Gray. Don't have to worry about dark phoenix shinanginas any time soon. Well, there is Darcy Lewis' kid, she had with Howard Duck. But that was just a what if right? Right?... I just jinxed myself, didn't I? From what I could tell, this world was a mix of the MCU, Spider-Gwen, and a few odd pulls from X-Men Evolution. I wonder what this earth is called because it's not 616 or 1999999.
"Know what, I need a break from all this internet searching. I might as well mess with the sculpting table for a few hours. It will be a good way to practice earthbending if nothing else."
I managed to get two sculptures done before heading to bed. Tomorrow was Friday, so the first day of real classes. And I needed to start working on making FNaF 3. And maybe maxing out my handiness skill, I was at level 6 already.
September 12, 2010
So I may have faked being sick to get out of going to school on Friday, so I could mess around with the sculpting station. What, I had fun messing with the materials. The clay was a great way to mess around with earthbending. Working with wood made me remember my woodwork class I had in my past life. I still hate the fact that my bow snaped in half when I tried to finally string the dam thing. The teacher gave me a pass because I used the leftover broken materials to make a wooden sword. After that, I sculpted with metal. Did I metal bend? No I can barely earthbend. I'll be lucky if I can metal bend before I turn 20. I wrapped up my sculpting at level 7 with my first Ice sculpture. On Saturday, I spent the full day reading the final skill book for Handiness. The book only took 18 hours to finish. Honestly, the fastest Vol 3 skill book. I was so tired after being in the library all day. Meicoomon digivoled into Meicrackmon just to darg me into my bed. Got to love waking up on Meicrackmon's soft thighs.
"Morning, sleepy head. You've been resting for a while." Meicarckmon
"Uhg, I just spent a day cramming handyman skills into my brain."
"So was it worth it?" Meicrackmon
"I'm about to find out you fine fealine."
[Handiness Skill has been maxed out! Rolling for rewards across video game worlds]
[Reward: Perfected SOLDIER treatment (Final Fantasy 7 Series)]
[You can now complete Handiness Skill-related challenges for additional pulls from (Final Fantasy 7 Series)]
"Wait, isn't that super soldier tre- ahhhhhhh! FUUUUUUUUUUCK"
I passed out from the massive amount of pain. When I woke up, I felt sore; every bone in my body was broken, then healed. My muscles had been shredded and spun back together. When I opened my eyes, I shut them quickly. It was just sensory overload. Too much details. It was like going from 32-bit gaming to 4K gaming. I felt it. The world revolving. Everything was moving thousands of miles per hour and yet not at all. I had to meditate to get to some sense of equilibrium. That took three hours to deal with. When I could finally move again, I accidentally smashed my bed frame.
"World of cardboard indeed. Okay, while I'm down here, let's check what the challenges are for the handiness skill."
Electrician
Electricians have repaired at least 10 electrical objects. The experience gained means they will never be electrocuted by an electrical object again.
Plumber
Plumbers have repaired at least 10 plumbing objects. They are so good at repairs that plumbing objects repaired by them never break again.
Tinkerer
Tinkerers have finished at least 10 unique upgrades on household items. Installing the "Unbreakable" upgrade on multiple objects only counts as one unique upgrade, so it helps to experiment with different upgrade options! Tinkerers never fail when upgrading objects.
"Looks like I'm buying 8 more snicks to repair. It will also help me get used to my new strength."
It took me 7 hours to get used to my body's new level of strength. I also found out if the object doesn't have a broken state in the Sims 3 game, the object won't break as long it's on a property that I own and can use Build/Buy mode. So 8 broken sinks, 2 broken wands, and a chuckling Mei later. I had finished the challenge for being a plumber… why didn't I get Mario items for the handiness. Oh, whatever ever let's just check the reward.
[Plumber Challenge Complete]
[Reward: Finrir Motorcycle (Final Fantasy 7 Series)]
"Wow, you used ice magic just to break sinks to repair them just to get a sweet ride. Shame it doesn't have a sidecar." Meicrackmon
"I could make or order one later. Alright, let's do the upgrade challenge while I have energy."
So after a bit of shopping for things to upgrade and selling the sinks because I didn't need 8 extra sinks, jacking up my non-existent water bill. The upgrades I made were: Custom Doorbell Sound, Improve Speakers, Self-Cleaning, Silent Running, Improved Jets, Improve Fire Alarm, Improved Crushing, Unbreakable, Improve Meal Quality, and Improved Graphics. I had to buy a lower-quality hottube just to upgrade it and resell it. I do the Electrical challenge another day. Let's check the reward, then it's bedtime.
[Tinkerer Challenge Complete]
[Reward: Sonic Strikers gloves (Final Fantasy 7 Series)]
"Well, I now have six linked metria slots and no metria to slot. At least it gives me gantlets to use to punch things with. Know what I'm just going to see the late-night news and go to bed."
"An unfortunate training exercise involving an F-22 Raptor occurred yesterday. I am pleased to report that the pilot was not injured. As for the unexpected turn of events on the ground in Gulmira, it is still unclear who or what intervened, but I can assure you that the United States government was not involved." James Rhodes
"Well, that's Don Cheedle or a scroll replacement. So Tony is on his hunt for the ten rings in the Middle East. Well, it's more than he wants to destroy the Stark tech that Stain sold, but still. If Tony somehow dies to Staine, I might of just wasted 3 mill. What?"
"You know you could go save him if you needed to or send mew to deal with it. I am a champion-level Digimon, you know." Meicrackmon
"I need to train to use my power set. Right now, outside of winning a martial arts tournament or deadlifting a car, I'm pretty useless in a fight. I can earthbend. I'm not trained in how to earthbend. I can fire off glintstone sorceries till the sun rises. I currently don't have great magic focus to cast said spells. The hunter tools I have access to are useful. But I don't think they are enough to deal with the Iron Monger, much less Loki. Wait, aren't you an ultimate-level Digimon?"
"Nope, just champion. So can I go save the tin man if he needs it?" Meicrackmon
"Sure, if he is on the edge of death against Staine, sure. But after that, the guy is on his own. I really need to build a training ground or a danger room."
"So what are you going to do with that long hair? I can cut it if you want?" Meicrackmon
"My hair, what is wrong with it? Oh… Oh, it comes down to my hips. I'll make an appointment tomorrow for a hair salon. I don't need to be walking around with Sephiroth hair. I don't realy have the one wing to pull it- off. Huh… retractable one fallen angel wing."
"Doesn't that hurt?" Meicrackmon
"Not really, it just feels odd. Uh, the feather tips are sensitive. The lower plumage are pink instead of purple. Yesh, even more things in my life are fucking pink. Don't get me wrong I like pink. But if I ever go into hero work pink will at most be an accent not the main color of the outfit. Know what I'm going to bed, I'm done for the day."
I walked over to my bed just to see it was still broken. I quickly used buy mode to replace it and collapse onto my new bed. Tomorrow would be another day.
