>Man a bunch of these fighters are assholes, is this common to them?
No, not really! Sometimes some of them are really mean though, but it’s not all that common! You guys just picked some of the fights where they acted like the biggest jerks. I think Electra’s kind of a jerkface all the time, though.
>...Cher's got out-of-place technology? Interesting. Also interesting is that people don't know what guns and dynamite are.
Nah, Horace is just kinda old and doesn’t really get the new stuff she came up with! And it’s not like she invented guns or anything, she just made them better! I think anyway.
> Heheh, we need to get Maurine, Abbey and you in on making some "gizmos" of your own.
None of us can make stuff like that! We can use alchemy shops to make stuff better though.
>>MEGA-DRAGON FIGHT
>THAT WAS AWESOME
I KNOW RIGHT?
>Man, what? I can appreciate a powerful dragon, but seriously? A university of Battlecraft? They should just call it a school of martial training, man. Sounds much better than Battlecraft.
I dunno if it matters? I know I don’t care like at all.
>Also one side note, just how tough are people here? I mean laser claw got shot with freaking explosive ammo and all it did was tear his clothes away. I guess what I'm trying to say here is does any ever get really hurt during these fights or or you all more or less indestructible?
I guess kinda maybe? I mean sometimes you get little cuts and bruises if you get hit really hard, but how would you even get hurt worse than that? I mean I fell off a really really tall tree when my moms took me camping one time and my head hurt for like a week, but that’s it.
>>How do you even make a movie scary? It’s not like anything bad can happen when you watch them!
>People aren't only scared of bad things happening to them. *ominous thunder*
>There are ways to do it, though. Immersion, for one. If you can get a person to buy into a story to the point they start to forget themselves, it doesn't matter if the danger is real. An emotional investment or attachment can also work- if the film gets you to care about the characters, you start to care about what happens to them. You fear for them, vicariously.
>And hell, people respond to their environments. If you establish a good, convincing atmosphere of fear? They start to buy into it. Especially in a dark, crowded theater, with everyone around them starting to buy into it to.
>You've never been disturbed by a painting? Worried about the outcome at the end of a book? Art's capable of making us feel things.
I guess I get that...? I kinda feel worried about characters in movies and stuff but I dunno about actually really being scared or anything.
>I might as well ask you why any of your nudie movies are titillating. It's not like anything is happening to you!
Uh... Titillating...? Um, they’re cool fights but I’m not a huge pervert like Abbey or anything.
>Those were some good fights, pretty informative too, right?
I dunno, they were cool but I didn’t get anything new out of them I guess.
>But yeah, bed time! I hope we can join you in your adventures in dream land. If not, see tomorrow, and good night.
Yeah, that’s right! I dunno if you guys can see my dreams though.
ARIA: *YAAAWN* ...Hey guys, you wanna maybe get some sleep?
MAURINE: Yeah... I could definitely sleep...
ABBEY: Oh, c’mon! That’s no fun!
Maurine shoots a little glare at Abbey.
ABBEY: *sigh* You are birthday-girl, though.
ARIA: I’ll set up the cots. Abbey, move the snacks.
ABBEY: Aye Aye Captain!
ARIA: Oh, and hey Abbey?
ABBEY: What?
ARIA: If my blanket falls down or something while I’m moving the cots, don’t creep on me, okay?.
I grab the cots and stand them up. It’s hard to do and my blanket slips a little but I get it. I put pillow on them and I’m done. Abbey rolls up and clips the bags and puts everything down by the dresser and doesn’t even look at me while I set up the cots. I flip off the light and get in bed and cover myself up with my quilt, and Abbey and Maurine get on their cots. Maurine’s feet hang off the end and she looks a little embarrassed that her blanket’s too short, but I’m sure she’ll be okay.
ABBEY: Um, Aria... Maurine...? Sorry if I was being kind of a huge rude asshole earlier...
ARIA: It’s okay, really! You’re not getting out of your dares though!
ABBEY: Yeah, yeah.
It’s quiet for a little bit.
MAURINE: Goodnight, Aria. A-and... Happy Birthday!
ABBEY: Yeah, goodnight, birthday-girl.
ARIA: Goodnight, everybody!
I grab Mr. Teddykins and snuggle him to my chest. Wow it’s really weird sleeping like this. But tonight was pretty weird too so I guess that’s kinda fitting? I still kinda can’t believe Maurine really just got naked like that. She’s so shy and shaky about anybody being naked near her ever.
Abbey too, but I thought she might throw her clothes off sometime anyway, just not on the same night as Maurine! Everybody being naked like that was even weirder though, it was like some kinda freaky fever dream.
Today was pretty awesome anyway though! The powers the Good King gave me and my mom’s gifts are soooo cool and I almost won a battle with Delia even though she was really strong. You guys are pretty cool too even if you’re really weird sometimes. I hope tomorrow is half as neat as today was!
Goodnight, guys!
