I have my post half written, just trying to figure out how to wrap things up! Should have something posted by tomorrow at the latest!

Im home today so ill see if I get a post up before I pass out.

So the other reason that's been holding me back is working on developing Leon as a shaman (as that's really what his skill set TECHNICALLY is with the use of Tiki's) and trying to really nail down which tikis are which. In that process, I was reminded about the use of masks and how important those are so that kinda got added in and I worked on balancing those into Leon's extended it. So now we have Ku which is a tribal Hawaiian mask of war and it has a spirit of war in it. This is a genuine artifact that Leon would have collected and now uses. The major trade-off is that this spirit is well aware of the position he is in and requires bargains from Leon in the form of offerings in many forms. Tiny offering tiny ability. Mostly it's protection things, but Ku could probably also give Leon a bit of extra strength if he asked for it (or fishing luck if he wanted Ku is a being of many random things en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C5%AB )

But simply put this is a risk-reward trade-off that Leon can employ. Ku can also change his form to hide, so he'll often become a hat or sunglasses.

I just felt the tikis were more passive and would be tools that Leon could use to secure areas, but aren't really effective if he has to keep hauling them around everywhere. Ku lets him have an on the go tiki, but with some risks also a nice darker question for the detective of what he's willing to do.

If it's a no or there are any thoughts I have an alt post ready with Leon getting more generic stuff (as the original one was just a warding totem that was fairly generic and based on the one I mentioned in the character post)

I am around, I should be able to get a post up tomorrow. I have to be in bed early tonight because I start classes up again tomorrow and need to be up early.

Good luck!

@FantasyChic Good luck with school.

Glad I'm done with school :P

I'll have a post up tomorrow! If you all aren't tired of hearing about Morgan, hah.

I don't miss school either - except for the moments when I do. Nostalgia for...well. Things are pretty nice now, too. :3

Good luck with classes! It gets better.

I'll need to go back at some point, methinks. College was much better than highschool, at any rate.

I'm going to get my Master's to hopefully get a job I love. I actually enjoy school so...

Nope, pretty happy to be going back. Just hate getting up early

Honestly I feel you. If it wasn't for getting up early, college would have been awesome. Highschool wouldn't have been bad either, at least because of friends.

I admire your dedication to a Master's, and remain grateful that my path took me into a job I love and am very good at with "didn't finish college" on my resume. :3

@FantasyChic im debating a doctorate in archaeology. Its a lot of time to dedicate and hard work foe something that isk if im truly certain I want to do. Right now I have a position I like so im gonna stay here for now and see if I still want to go higher.

I don't have the patience for institutionalized learning anymore :D Not to mention I was somewhat disappointed with the way my Bachelor's program was directed... And my almost made up Master's is not even worth mentioning *eye roll* Now I just like to learn stuff for myself... No dreaded oral exams to take

I have spent nearly a decade of my life in tertiary education of various sorts! I cant make it on the outside.

I'm bad at knowing when "tomorrow" is, apparently.

Writing away right now, while my fluffiest cat looks on with an expression of quiet interest - though I expect that interest is tied more into when I'll be rubbing her tummy than anything else.

@Naril This is why I prefer my turtle. He doesn't judge you, he doesn't expect anything from you, and he just does what he wants. It's why I honestly think I will only ever have pet turtles and tortoises.

I did say I would try

If you haven't been to Newgrange and you have a chance to go, you should! I just wish I could have entered on my one. And not with all the other tourists. Those ancient builders sure knew what they were doing... Supposedly without even having discovered the wheel yet *eye roll*
