P Is For Paralysis (part one)

After having made it to Jeuno and bought my new equipment I figured I’d start the chocobo quest.

So, I have to try and feed this here chocobo some Gausebit Wildgrass and that Gausebit Wildgrass will, in turn, heal his wounds and then I get to ride him and his friends or something? That’s all well and good but when I tried to get close to offer him the Gausebit Wildgrass he was all:

So I left him be for a while. :x

Anyway, yadda yadda, you know how it goes; five and a half hours later I had my shiny new license because I was able to force feed a bird some grass numerous times. Those are some stringent rules you have there, Brutus. Real classy. :x

So~ what’s the first thing I did after obtaining my chocobo license? I know you’re dying to know. Well, I challenged the nearest tiger to a race of course!

Go~! :x

What does he think this is; a wedding or something?! Run, you useless sack of crap! D:

lol, look at him trying to catch up. What an utter TITBEAK!

Nah, I don’t mean that; he was cool. Cool like a fire. :x

Look…I can’t stand any mob that has the ability to paralyse me, okay? D: Seriously, paralysis annoys me so…very…much. >_<;

After that race (if you could call it that; I owned him good, it was more like follow the leader etc.) I headed back to Sandy to get myself the supplies needed to do the Norvallen OP quest. After that I warped back to Jeuno (<3 Warp) and went AFK for a few. When I came back someone had sent me a tell, asking me if I wanted to join their party. Even though I didn’t have the money for food I thought, “What the hey. :o” and joined.

Getting to camp was a slight problem though as the Dancing Weapons that patrol the tunnel in Qufim were having a monthly meet or something. D: Luckily, Amith and Spankey – my LS mates in SuicideMoogles – were passing by and they cleared a path for me. ^_^;

The party itself was awesome. @_@; We were making ridiculous amounts of xp and I hit level 22 super quick and stuff which made me a happy panda.

The members of this party were grand to me also. I’m still not greatly used to managing my MP pool when we’re pulling as quickly as we were and I need to get used to casting my WHM enfeebs more often (e.g. Paralyse. >_>) but they were understanding about it. They were also understanding when we got a link and two of us attempted to kill it but I died in the process. :x Me, die?! It’s a shock, I know. Also, I kind of slowed down xp for a few as we zoned into Delkfutt’s Tower ‘cos I was forced to watch the opening CS of CoP. Sowwy~

When I logged on the next day I decided to travel on the boat from Selbina to Mhaura as my alternate character Garciewaffles in the hopes that, when it eventually gets to 20:00, a Phantom or two will pop – I would then murederise those aforementioned Phantoms and Ice Spikes may drop; thus saving Garcie a little bit of money.

Simple enough, no? :o

Hecatomb Harness and Ninja sub?! That combination doesn’t make a lick of sense but, you know what? He looks sexy+1 so it’s alllllright~ :D

…

Having fun there Garciewaffles, are you, yeah? Think you can just arrive on a boat, swing your metal stab contraptions around and get scrolls to drop at your feet, do you?

Yup…you had no idea that – two minutes after this picture had been taken – you were going to get completely owned by Silverhook, did you? :x

He’s a sexy fool. :/

A sexy sexy fool. D:

Soooo, yeah, what actually happened was: pirates attacked, Silverhook was there, I couldn’t pull him before he casted Ice Spikes (the very spell I was after. Oh, the irony!) and then I couldn’t get fealty up in time to avoid being paralysed by it, then he started casting Freeze and I couldn’t get Utsu:Ni up in time due to paralysis. It was a short, angry battle after that. Thanks, SE. You guys really know how to make me want to throw my laptop at a small child. :x

Why I even pulled Silverhook in the first place? Meh, no-one else was high enough level to do so but I really should think these things through. >_>;

Moving on…I promptly HP’d, logged out and then switched back to Garcie so I could meet an old friend who had recently switched servers. :o

Datsi; Datsuki’s alternate character and Garciewaffles’ former partner in crime back in the day on the Shiva server. :D Needless to say; I was happy to see her. >_>;

And if the moment wasn’t already perfect enough; some random Galka Paladin came by shortly afterwards and set fireworks off in my face. :x

Cheers. :x

Anywizzles, Datsi’s original plan was for her to change nations from Windy to Sandy so we could do the rank missions together but, apparently, she’s unable to switch allegiance until she attains rank six for Windy which makes sense but still kind of sucks. :/

But not to fear! She’s been wanting to have Garcie and Datsi level RDM together for quite a while so we headed to Windy and did so. :D

*cue chocobo music*

Datsi asked me if I had the Teleport-Mea crystal and I realised that I didn’t. @_@; So we got that too before we headed to Windy. ^_^ Then, after a quick job change and a chat about how cute we both are, the violent slaughter – sorry – levelling began. :x

Levelling. :x

It went well; although Datsi was gaining more xp than my good self because she had signet active. I really didn’t realise it made that much of a difference but I guess it all adds up. :o

As is the custom with our levelling excursions, one of us messed up (i.e. me) and we died. :x

*insert sleeping with the fishes joke here*
