[OOC] Cherry Blossoms Under the Silver Sky

[Genkai]

Like I said, if we want to skip to lunch or some important key to the progress, that's fine with me. I know we wanted to take our time here because it was important to document their interaction but it will be minimal given the training itself so we should be able to pick what we want to summarize and what we want to take our time with. If you'd like to take us to another point over the next day or two, I'm totally cool with it. I just want to make sure you're still engaged and all and not getting bored since we're doing the whole...stop/start thing which can be tricky.

[SoleAccord]

Understood. I got a reply up, tell Kakashi of the delicious packed lunch.

Also, I got the job! I got some rough hours, the 4 a.m to 8 a.m gig but fuck it I'll live, its money after all. I remember you mentioned that you were looking for a job before, how is it going for you?

[Genkai]

I'll get you a post by Friday at the latest, if not tomorrow.

Congrats on getting the job, it sounds harsh but it's better than nothing. No job luck, not even for internships either. And housing is a no-go, it's like everyone in the area is looking for ways to kill people by denying them basic needs. *pouts*

[SoleAccord]

Well, the job is ...painful. I mean, the hours are painful ...the work can be painful ...it's painful, man. I drown in Icy Hot sometimes because I just ache. Stay in fucking school dude, I don't want to do that all my life, nor should anyone. It's been a while, but trust me, once you get hired to a job as physical as mine you probably won't have time for the joys of writing as much as you'd like. I know I haven't been able to, depressingly enough.

I caught Orphan Black's entire season, and boy was Helena/Donnie my favorite pair during the season, those two are gold. Alison was really boring in contrast and had just about nothing to do with anything the entire season, but that twerk session with Donnie on the bed was definitely one of her finest moments in the show xD

[Genkai]

Shit, are you sure the job is work it? It sounds like it may be more taxing than worthwhile. You shouldn't be putting your body through such things, even if it's "better than nothing".

I wasn't too blown away by Castor, but Mark was fascinating at least, as was that other guy. Helena was a real treat and I still am bored by Delphine and Cosima but I hope things are put to rest in that regard. I was bore of Alison's plot as well, kind of bummed we saw so little of Cal but that may be GoT's fault there. And I feel like Felix is being underused but I'm still interested in OB, interested to see next season. God, I miss Leekie.

[SoleAccord]

Well for now it's all I can secure. It's a physically stressful job, and I can't see myself ever going full time there, not until I'm a lot more physically active and stronger. If I get the chance at another job I'll be taking it.

Yeah Delphine and Cosima were extremely boring this season and I did not care for either. Alison was MEHHHH. Cal was missed, but I do prefer less focus on Kira anyway. And Felix, boy, I felt like he wasn't used a lot either. It's very hard to explain. I don't know about Leekie other than he was a good actor. Rachel was also pretty MIA and did not contribute to very much as things went on, but I think next season will make her a player again.

[Genkai]

Keep looking for another job, it sounds like the one you have now is crap, not to mention it sounds like the living situation isn't much better either. If all else fails, I'm down to rob banks with ya.

It was nice to see Sarah doing more stuff. I also loved to see Jesse return for Helena. I didn't think he would go for that bag of crazy, but there ya go. I also love to see Art whenever he pops up. I had a love/hate thing for what's her face, Gracie. At first I thought she was finally going to be a badass but she turned out to be so spineless again, argh. Donnie is stepping up his game, that I like. I also liked seeing more of Beth and the new female clone too. Overall, it was a good season but season one will never be topped. It's still fun to think of Helena as he antagonist of season one, the plot device of two and now a hero in season three. And man, you know I fucking hate Paul but damn...he was good in the end, pulling a Snape almost. XP

[SoleAccord]

Classic Bonnie and Clyde it is. Haha, but yeah, I'll look for something easier, I'm not getting strong fast enough. And FUCK PEOPLE who order 120 pound packages and shit, dude. Next time you order something heavy just remember someone worked hard to get that out of a dirty ass truck xD

Oh dude I was SO nervous when Helena said she was going to look for him. I was scared he wouldn't want her anymore, but he totally came back for her and I was like d'awwww. It kinda ruins the idea of Donnie and Helena having this little 'fling' like Alison did with that asshole but she'll be happy and I'll be happy too. Art's cool but his role was so minimal this season, it was somewhat disappointing. I didn't care much for Gracie, maybe it's her face or the fact she's nothing but someone's pawn but I just don't care for what fate she has. Paul went out like a BAMF, gonna miss him. Also, that one guy who clubbed his 'guard' so eccentrically was great xD

[Genkai]

Improvements probably won't be quick, if anything you'd probably get gradual with endurance and strength. Just be careful, lifting heavy shit can really fuck with you down the line. No need to let a paycheck come between you and safety, cause if you get billed, it sure as hell won't be worth it when you're in the hospital or something. *finger wag*

To be fair, Alison didn't really have a fling with that dude, though he totes wants some. I'm happy we're seeing different roles interact. I wasn't sure how Donnie would handle Helena but it was fun to watch for sure. I didn't think we'd see much of her this season tbh. I am glad it's back to being a Leda based plot. I know when I did a RP with clones, it was mostly about one strand of them, as opposed to making it a cluster fuck. Man, I miss some of the RPs from the old guild...*sighs* I'm also bummed about a Sherlock Holmes RP being dropped, I was really getting into it. Guess my plate isn't too full right now, I wish I could help you though, seems yours is pretty packed, even with offline stuff.

But in regards to OB, they gave us a lot more shipping options, that's for sure. I should write some fanfics for that during the off-season.

[SoleAccord]

It's been about three weeks, I just figured my body would be used to it to the point I don't feel a thing, but I guess I'll need to try another month before I see that kind of result. Also, yeah, I'm SUPER scared I'm gonna fuck my body up and it'll never heal from an injury :C

Alison didn't really show much haste in telling him to back off. Her desire to tell him, straight up, that she was happily married with Donnie and wasn't interested in screwing around was almost nonexistent. Donnie stood up for himself though where Alison wouldn't, so I'm happy that he won the war, even if he lost the battle. Helena is also my favorite character! "Did you threaten babies? You should not have threatened babies." she says, forcing Donnie out and GETTING READY TO KILL SOME MOTHERFUCKERS. Woo! As far as your plate goes, I'm sorry to hear you're losing a good roleplay =/ my plate IRL is pretty big as of late. I've got school related shit I need to work out. I have an eye exam I need to get done in a couple weeks because they can't get me in any sooner, and I can't take my drivers test until I fix that because I don't want to drive with only one eye being good. Not to mention I need to buy a mattress and a new computer chair. This is all before I can even buy things I really want with my money. I haven't had $200 dollars in the bank since I started this job X.X

I was writing a fic too, but its Naruto related. I lost my drive to write and haven't touched it in a couple months, probably sad for the fans I managed to get. I think you should continue writing some fanfiction, too!

[Genkai]

Give more time, or just leave, there's probably a reason there was an opening for that kind of brutal work.

I think Alison liked the attention or danger but I still don't doubt she did want the guy to back off, as he should. It's more his fault than hers in my mind. She used their history to move things along, she should have? No but she's married, off limits. Though Helena isn't my favorite clone, she def got more love from me. She's been such an interesting character, it's a shame not many shows have someone like her in their cast. As much as she is a wild card, it pays off in dire situations. Ew I can't even think about school, it's a shame you're doing it over the summer. I hope the eye exam checks out, if it doesn't, you may qualify for low vision disability. That's what I have and it pays for my school and books. A new mattress is a godsend, buy that before anything else.

I should continue with fanfic, I haven't been bored enough...er I mean struck by motivation. Whatever.

You still dabbling in art/sketching?

[SoleAccord]

I'll leave if the pain becomes too much for me to endure, because I need money. I don't want to go into retail or anything, I can't stand faking smiles for random assholes all day but you gotta do what you gotta do, right?

Yeah, I get that, but I still don't like her much. Cosima kind of hit a low point for me too, but I think that's more because she didn't have a large chance to shine this season. Thanks for the support xD and I'm hoping this mattress is so freaking worth it in the end, because this piece of shit futon I'm sleeping on for the past week AIN'T DOING IT. I HAVE NO ROOM TO JUST ROLL AROUND! :CCCCC

I know what you mean. I need a lot of motivation to do things lately, but I want to work on that and make writing fun again, just as fun as a good video game!

I haven't been able to, no time, and no money to spend on the materials again. Sad part is that it feels like artists get way more credit than good writers =/

[Genkai]

I would rather do retail than food industry. You should go pimp yourself, win-win right?

I was intrigued by Rachel more than Cosima this season, which I didn't expect. I was pretty bored with the whole set up in Mexico, it didn't pay off until the last episode or so. I want more danger, rather than mystery but maybe that's me. I just want all the clones on the run, always on the move. I'm still not sure what to do with Mrs. S...I give up trying to figure her out. You know you're an adult when you want a good place to sleep at night, but it is worth it. Someday I'll have a sleep number bed, someday. I had to sleep on the couch the past month in the hotel, I feel your pain.

I did get into Dragon Age recently, that's the only video game I've been playing but I plan on dusting off my PS2 one of these days...

You don't need money for supplies when it comes to drawing, just get pencil and paper and practice that way. When you get good, is when you should shell out for decent materials.

Btws, I should be able to get you something by tonight.

[SoleAccord]

I'll wash dishes for less money but more hours, at least the only fucked up thing at the end of the day will be my pruned hands and not my back/arms/legs xD

A MONTH on the couch? Oh my god, I feel you bae :C and I think Rachel in a position of weakness was extremely new to her, but unfortunately she was no more intriguing than the others. I hope she gets better by next season so we can see her evil self! And Mrs. S was a mystery for sure, but I never paid much attention to her. Everything she does is for Kira and that's her entire character, everyone else is proven expendable, but after Helena's freedom that may change.

I tried to get into Dragon Age multiple times but I HATE the combat system. It's like KotOR, only worse in every possible way, and I'm tired of needing to down health poultices every ten seconds. Fuck.

It doesn't help I'm an anxiety-filled nightmare, but once things calm down IRL I'll definitely try to draw some things. I will draw SO much smut, oh my god, I will draw ALL THE SMUT IN THE WORLD once I'm super good. May take me a few years though :C

Okay, looking forward to it :D

[Genkai]

I'd be happy to wash tables and sweep. Too bad you need a degree for that these days...And hey, wear rubber gloves. I do whenever I have to do dishes, hands are safe and clean!

I wished the pencil hadn't gone so far deep, seeing Rachel struggle was kind of sad for me. I was hoping to see Helena give Mrs. S more of a beatdown but Helena does love Kira too...even so, it was a pretty shady thing to do to someone, when you have no idea where they're going. Helena was a big tool for Leda's investigation IMO.

I don't mind the combat system. Though the healing system is really annoying when you do need to use poultices on multiple party members. I keep it on Casual mode, I'm in it for the characters. Mmm, sassy Alistair is niiice. Plus the lore and plot were really cool to me. I've been craving a good fantasy (RP/RPG) for ages and this scratched that itch. I will say I'm not sure about DA2 and DAI since I've heard iffy things...but DAO is good enough for now, not to mention I only paid 15 bucks for the Ultimate Edition for PC. I'm so late to the party, everyone who RPs it, is looking for DAI I believe. >___< Someday I'll find my DAO RP...like I did my ST TNG one~

Boobs aren't easy to draw. I have em, I should know haha. Good luck though! Maybe I'll send you a care pack of art shit and food one of these days...

And yep, getting started now...but all this talk of DAO makes me want to play it too...and I would hate to keep switching between that and this. #firstworldproblems

[SoleAccord]

But then my hands would smell like gloves all the time, but I guess that beats chemicals and nasty ass food bacteria on my hands. Fuck me...

I don't even remember all the factions at play right now. LEDA, that wacky group Gracie was from, etc. X.X

Lmao SOMEDAY FOR SURE. I know the feel of waiting for certain people to ask for certain roleplays, but luckily, and unluckily, I don't have much time to lurk for 'em anymore.

I will perfect the art of breasts, or die trying <3

Nuuuu, KakaSaku first, we need to get to the juicy stuff >.<

[Genkai]

My gloves don't leave a smell. But hey, don't put up with a bad job, if you're still at it in a few weeks, I'm gonna be pouty.

There's the science one, the religious one and then Leda and Castor. Supposedly more but we dunno yet.

Someday...damn my and my novice experience! I'm still craving a Daredevil RP like nobody's business. >__> Only a few cravings, is better than a lot or some mega ultra one.

You may need to watch a ton of porn for ref. It's a sacrifice I know...

Aw fine. Btw, should I take us somewhere in my post? Like to the following day? What were we planning once she mastered the jutsu?

[SoleAccord]

If I'm still there in a few weeks hopefully I'm getting jacked. All I need to do is cut down on shit that's bad for me, and we know how hard that can be xD

Hm, roger, I can't keep up with them all.

Wait Daredevil movie or Daredevil t.v. show? Lol I hope its the latter xD

*eyebrow flex*

Once Sakura masters that jutsu Kakashi is going to prepare her for ambushes like referenced in my post, so she can keep her awareness up. Obviously it takes some field experience to really get used to, but getting her prepared for confrontations both expected and unexpected will be a new priority. Deciding on another water style ninjutsu is going to be for her, and if he knows it he'll teach it to her, unless she brings up how she might want to craft her own.

[Genkai]

Oh dear...guess you can come help us finish moving out of boxes then!

I can't imagine how you keep up with GoT then, that's so much worse.

Tv show man, I had two possible ones crumble. So sad. Matt and Karen ftw. >___<

I still think Sakura making her own jutsu, will have to wait until further down the line. I meant more along the lines of any possible mission or next goal for training as she's got a good handle one the big one. Or if we wanted one of those slice-of-life situations we talked about earlier like a birthday or BBQ or some kind of gathering. I'm just thinking, we may need to skip since we haven't gotten too much back and forth between them yet, save for the lunch at Ichiraku.

[SoleAccord]

I never want to see a box needing to be moved outside of my work place again xD

GoT is easier, OB is just a ton of science jargon and crazy assholes xD GoT only has crazy assholes thankfully.

NO IDEA WHO KAREN IS BUT I WILL TAKE YOUR WORD FOR IT XD

Oh. I figured Sakura's birthday might have waited until they got closer. You know, like ...~closer~ closer. As in SOMETHINGS THERE BUT NEITHER MAY OR MAY NOT WANT TO ADMIT IT. A gathering could work, but I thought we'd wait for the next day. I was going to have Gai and Lee show up to help Sakura become more physically capable, but we could do something simpler. I can go with a mission, or a slice-of-life interaction with Sakura/Kakashi and someone else. Could be a mission to get Tsunade some booze xD
