[OOC] The Legend of Heroes: Tales of the World

[Rexcalibur]

Buns omfg you're killing me, if you were to have a cloning machine for that or something I would literally fly to the UK & throw my credit card at you just so I could have one. He looks absolutely astounding!! I can only imagine how much time & effort you put into sculpting him.

& actually I found that pic off google on accident/while looking for something else lololol

Gonna read up & post in a bit!

Trixie's favorite sweet is cheesecake. There is no other dessert to choose from.

Amy's is chocolate meat i'm just kidding that's the same as dinuguan ahahahaha ahahah, get it, cuz she likes meat a lot
I'm actually not sure. As long as it involves some wine on the side & isn't too sweet? I never gave much thought to that haha.

[Pachamac]

I'm currently writing an IC, guys!

And let me tell you it might be a long doozy of a post >W>; <3

[Pachamac]

Hey guys, post is up! Sorry for the absurd length of it all. It's really quite big and... yeah. .-. But I really, really hope you all enjoy it!!!

Backup forum's going to shut down on the 20th so we'll be able to finish off the chapter just in time. I've already started working on transferring the posts over, but I just kinda wanna finish this chapter on the backup forum for now cus it has better formatting options and then we'll be able to start a brand new chapter on here as like a fresh start, if that makes sense. I'll also be working on the chapter summaries after this chapter's concluded.

You guys don't have to post if you don't want to. There's no explicit need to if you cannot think of something for your characters to do, in which case don't force yourself. But we're at the goal line. I just hope you all really enjoy the post, and have yourselves an amazing weekend. :) I love you all!!

Preview of next Pach post

Komm, Süsser Tod

CHOCOLATE APOCALYPSE buns you're killing me too

SYEEEED. I WANT ONE HE'S SO CUTE ;A;

Hmmm, favorite desserts... I'd say that Selan would like fruit-topped panna cotta and creme brulee, and Lisette would like macarons and sweet potato pie. ^^

Lololol dinuguan.... |D I've never actually had it, I remember when I lived in the Philippines, I wandered over to the kitchen to see what my family was cooking but my mom turned me around and said I wouldn't like it, lol. My dad mistook it for chocolate pudding though! I don't think he ended up trying any either?

I haven't caught up on the IC yet, but I'm looking forward to it!

[Pachamac]

Wow Tae you're a desert connoiseur! I only heard of macarons before your post but they all look delicious! I'm loving the desert photo postage 8D

I've seen pics of dinuguan and know all about the... er... jokes? About what it looks like, but I really, really want to try and eat it, because I think it actually looks delicious. Rex showed me what Balut is though and AHAHAHAHA NOTHXU

I never knew you used to live in PI, Tae!

[Taerinn]

I just caught up on the IC, omgggggg

I didn't know for a long time either, but my mom was like "Yeah, we lived there for a year, don't you remember???" :0 I think she might be exaggerating how long it was... I thought for the longest time it was just a short visit, but apparently it was longer than that, I don't even remember how old I was o_o I think I was maybe 6-7, it was before my great grandmother passed away.

And now I want desserts. =_=

BALUT THOUGH, ack! I could not do that ;A; I've seen my mom eat it a few times and I was just like NOPE

[Bunanigans]

Dude Pach I heard of all of those lmfao. I always fancied trying creme brulee in particular but you need like a flamethrower to make them at home and they're expensive uuuuuurgh.

Dinuguan looks horrible. A couple of weeks back though one of the french people in my company in FF was telling us about something called raclette, which sounds SO YUMMY OMG. It's basically scraping melted cheese onto whatever you like, kinda similar to fondue I guess but a lot less runny.

[Dannyel]

Oh my god, dinuguan and balut. /gags Some of the Filipino foods are just amazing, but others…I still have nightmares.

And you've been to the Philipines too, Tae? I was there when I was five for like a summer, got some real hazy memories of the place.

Sorry for the no post yesterday. I swear, work has been kicking my ass lately. I'm just so…tired lol.

Lastly…Dylan's favorite dessert. Gonna have to go with Mom's apple pie.

[Fox of Spades]

Those desserts <33

Lucien would love gummy bears and gingerbread people because he'd get to bite their heads off. 8D

I just caught up with the IC as well <3 all the action and Billy xD and the fire! Oh, oh and the fight scenes and the poor members of the pride D:

And haha, I wonder what meat coated in chocolate would taste like OwO and something with wine, huh? Fruit cake perhaps? ^^

As for Dinuguan it's actually tasty despite what it looks like. A ton of people like Balut too, but ahaha nope, nope. I've lived in the Philippines my entire life, but have no plans of ever eating it. To be honest, it looks kind of horrifying ;A;

I

[Rexcalibur]

Hahaha you guys need to open up to trying out new food more~ Everyone thinks dinuguan's nasty only after they hear what it is, but after eating it it's like heaven in your mouth. Balut's probably the same way, now that I think about it... hmm.

About the desserts thing, yeah maybe fruit cake for Amy might work actually, haha. :] Thanks for that note, Pand--FOX. Fox fox fox hahahah :p Oh I don't think I ever asked you actually (forgive me if I have), but you speak Tagalog too right?

Pacman, you & Buns need to hop along the Phils train sometime. You guys are lagging behind~

Anyway, just read Pacman's post & wow. Some stuff haha, really enjoyed the bamf. You write fight scenes so well, man; I really winced when Estelle's ponytail was yanked haha. Actually, everyone writes em really well, like holy shit lol. Am taking a creative writing class this quarter, & I'm desperately one of the upcoming prompts will be fight-scene oriented (although I heavily doubt it). Especially during the Family fight scenes, everyone's seriously inspired me to work on mine so much more haha. Also, Billy better make a return sometime!

Not sure I'll be able to get a post up before Pacman tomo morn. It's getting late & I've got work in the AM, so I'm calling it a night now. Almost fell asleep while typing this haha. Will read up everything else tomorrow!

[Fox of Spades]

Haha, Rex volunteers as tribute! xD Do tell us what Balut tastes like when you're done. (^w^)b We definitely appreciate your brave sacrifice.

NP (^w^)/ and yup, yup, I do. Does Rex speak Tagalog too? Just a warning though ^^ ahaha, my Tagalog is rusty since I'm from Mindanao and we mostly speak in Visaya here. Danni, Rex, Tae :O when you guys lived in the Philippines what part did you guys live in?

And I agree, everyone here is just amazing at fight scenes <3 everything is always so thrilling.

Night, Rex. Good luck with work and I hope everyone has an awesome mornight. ^^

[Pachamac]

Yah I really need to hop on the Phils train sometime 8D

Is Visaya another language in PI or a certain dialect or something?

Raclette sounds disgusting, Buns. If it involves as much cheese as I'm sure it does because of your undying love for it then I want no part of it in my diet. Dinuguan though, definitely.

Danni, Rex, you ladies get the rest you need, okay? Work's definitely been a hellhole this week, huh D| /hugs you all

Fox your gifs are so cute omg! ><! And lmfao @ Dylan and Lucien's desert choices. They're so... so... perfect! XD I think we need a mini chapter sometime where our characters go on one of those cooking game shows, if only to see the terrifying consequences, lol |D

I'm glad you all liked my post ;w; I'm gonna go catch up on the rp now and write my next post a bit later. I'm actually really glad you picked up on the part with Estelle's ponytail, Rex, since I hoped to make that as painfully wince inducing as it looks. >< Everyone's fight scenes against the Family were utterly amazing, which is why I was so explosively pissed when we lost them. D| But there'll be lots more fighting in the future, haha.

Have a great Sunday everyone! <3

Testing Youtube imbedding:

[Taerinn]

Ooooh, video embedding? What's the code for that? 8]

Wow, I'd never heard of raclette before, thanks for telling me Buns. xD Before I had problems with lactose intolerance, I would have been all for trying that :p (I still would, actually...)

I think Visaya's another language of the Philippines, and within that it has its own dialects? I have no idea, I'm just going off of what my mom's said before. ^^; She said my grandfather speaks a different dialect/language than she does, and she can understand it but can't speak it herself. I lived with the rest of my relatives in Olongapo City, they're all pretty much clustered there.

[Pachamac]

[*youtube] [/youtube], with the id part of the end of the yt vid in the middle, and without that asterisk ^^

[Bunanigans]

Well I don't like black pudding or gravy so nah I'm pretty sure I won't like dinuguan even then haha! I do feel like I'm missing out on some awesome Phillipines food too though. And the Phillipines in general. I'm a bit overdue a holiday, and I've saved a fair amount of money trying to buy a deposit for a house. HMMMM...

And yeah I love everyone's dessert choices haha. They all fit so well! Although I gotta say the idea of like, a cooking game show is absolutely amazing. I'd imagine Estelle and Moira would get kicked out pretty quick though for accidentally poisoning the judges :P

[Dannyel]

Speak for yourself, but dinuguan just never worked for me. I guess I'm the weird one here.

And my family is in the area around Manila, so that's pretty much where I stayed when I visited for three months. Haven't been back since, and I barely remember the language (like seriously, a couple of words and phrases). It's a shame. I wish I was closer to my mom and that side of the family, but alas, it was not meant to be.

Also - happy Sunday everyone!

[Pachamac]

Heyo everyone!!

I'm in the process of writing a post and... it's proving pretty long again. orz. My apologies, but it'll be worth it, I hope. ^o^ I'm going to take a break right now and then keep working on it when I get back. ^-^ Have an amazing weekend, everyone! And the next week approaching will be even better... 8D

[Rexcalibur]

Gahhh everyone I know who speaks Tagalog also speaks like Ilokano & Visaya too. I'm so jell haha, my fam only knows Tagalog. (These are all dialects, though most people who speak them speak Tagalog as well, since that's the staple language there haha. My linguistics profs hate the word 'dialect' though so idk at this point hahaha.) I do too @ speak Tagalog, but my skills are just as rusty, Fox. XD Haven't visited the Phils in a few years & there are barely any other Filipinos on my campus, so it's just me & mama speaking it at home.

I actually haven't lived there (mama can't station in the Phils because she has family there), but we do visit like every 3-4 years. Fam's from Bataan :)

Heading out for work in a few minutes. Hope everyone's enjoying their weekend (& holiday, for my fellow Amuricans)~

Pachamac said I think we need a mini chapter sometime where our characters go on one of those cooking game shows, if only to see the terrifying consequences, lol |D

Lawdy Pacman you know if you do anything relevant to a cooking scenario that I'm gonna end up ruining it for certain reasons XD. That'll probably be the 'terrifying consequences' more than anything else LOL. Don't open Pandora's Box just yet!

[Pachamac]

Have fun at work, Rexy <3

Post is up, guys!

Post spoils for tomorrow, do not read until read post

I'm gonna start the next chapter tomorrow. I'm burned out on writing atm, so unfortunately that'll mean a missed day of posting. Sorry guys! But I hope you enjoyed my post! <3
