Digimon: The Convergence of the Human and Digital Worlds

@tobiax Well, technically, I'm bitching at Ob and PSych

@RBYDark

And I gave her the same answer I always do:

'posts never, ur not my mum'

Digimon: The Convergence of the Human and Digital Worlds

Fuck, man, Parasimon has positive memories somewhere and he's basically a big ball of rage, angst and resolve at this point.

Also, yeah, if you're unintentionally outdoing RBY's own angsty son, I'd be concerned. To say the least.

@tobiax I kinda went over it last week, but really, what Vo said. If you're really stuck, feel free to PM me; been kind of waiting on some kind of communication from you ever since RBY pointed you in my direction.

Frederick Hughes

Mental State: Focus broken, confused and more than a little unsettled
Physical State: Wide awake and mostly healthy

Frederick couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow when the man unwittingly mentioned a second suicide; or rather, revealed that the suicide he’d just been informed of was the second suicide within some presumably small period of time.

The man continued talking after a moment’s pause and Frederick watched and listened carefully. There was little else the man said that was pertinent to the first suicide he’d mentioned; but Frederick could tell that the one he’d just been informed of was setting the man on distressed edge, to the point of shakily asking if Frederick would help him get a better look at the scene of the crime. He’d not even been in Arkham for an hour, and already it seemed doubtful that a slow, peaceful recovery was in the cards for him; multiple suicides, supposed ‘unusual circumstances’ and locals understandably jittery and unsettled in their own right seemed to put a damper on that.

“In all honesty, I’d sooner not.” Unsettled himself somewhat once again, Frederick decided to be forthright, if still polite, with the man. “I’m not really here under the most pleasant circumstances myself, but besides that- Officer Bailey pointed me towards another part of campus to arrange my appointment, if you were curious about where to do that?” Right away, he pointed down south to indicate where the young man had directed him: “I’d sooner let them finish their work here before I see about prying, but if you’d appreciate the company regardless, I’m perfectly happy to provide it until we’ve made our arrangements.”

He couldn’t help but feel a little obtuse as he answered the man, but he felt he was making the right choice. Besides not wanting to make any more trouble than was strictly necessary for Bailey and the other officers working at the scene, he was of the mind that he could always return to examine the scene for any indication of those ‘unusual circumstances’ when it was open to the public. Perhaps it was down to some naive belief that the local police would have made progress enough to make any potential investigation of his own irrelevant; though perhaps it was also due to a wish to save the other man further distress by enabling his desire to see what was on the other side of the police line.

God only knew the thought of that mangled body and the fact it was such a short distance away was giving him the chills.

@ONL I mean, that's sensible. It all seems perfectly respectable and dignified at first, and then you're writing 3000-word shitposts and arguing that black is white and white is black before getting yourself killed at a zebra crossing.

@ONL Well, the essay's on multiple texts; the anime was one of three texts I was thinking of writing about for it, the other two being Marlowe's Doctor Faustus and Goethe's Faust. It would change a chunk of the essay, definitely, but the points I'd come up with for those two would stay.

@ONL I mean, that's kinda my main reservation about it. If I don't go overboard and clearly explain the relevance, it could work; if I don't do it right, I could lose points even if the rest of the essay is solid stuff.

I've got like 12 weeks still to worry about it, though, so I'll figure something out. Could always sub it out for another version of Faust, after all.

Old One Rising (A Lovecraftian adventure-horror RP) (Reboot)

@ONL Just my coursework essays; currently weighing up whether or not it's a good idea to talk about my favourite magical girl anime in a potential essay discussing adaptations of the Faust story.

There are some very urgent and careful intellectual debates going on in my head right now, you see.

I'll see if I can't run a post up around the same time; just seeing if I can't get some ideas together for university assignments first.
