Losing my edge

[petronia]

CLAN PROVISIONER: I heard you have 99 of every kind of loot ever dropped by anything. Every treasure chest and monograph. All the rare monsters. All the elite marks. I heard you equipped Thief's Cuffs and stole every piece of Gilgamesh's equipment. I heard that you chained bombshells in the Lhusu Mines - twenty, fifty, seventy-five. I heard that you defeated Yiazmat and got a perfect score in the fishing game. I hear you're buying gemsteel and empyreal souls and throwing those Deathbringers out the window because you want to make something real. You want to make a greatsword. I hear that you and your party have sold your Arcana and bought High Arcana. I hear that you and your party have sold your High Arcana and bought a Canopic Jar. I hear that every item in your inventory is worth more than every item in my inventory. ...But have you seen my wares?

Blame fabulous_papaya's Daft Punk Is Playing At Balthier's House icon. Also, blame the flist. ALL I HEAR, ALL DAY.

Status update: just before Henne Mines, chaining Dark Nation's hydrocephalic blue cousins for fun and great profit.

Wearing the widest smile on my face, all thanks to this post. *griiiiin* This is great stuff! Last line is great and wonderful and all good, although the lines that have my heart in this one are I hear that you and your party have sold your Arcana and bought High Arcana. I hear that you and your party have sold your High Arcana and bought a Canopic Jar - and y'know, it still isn't enough. *griiiin*

This is what you hear all day on your flist? ...collapses of envy. ;)

My status update? I am a Hedge Knight running around Bhujerba. Virtually brand new to this game.

awesome XD;

I have a lot of preexisting FF/Vagrant Story/KH fans on my flist. XD Rather than say they're all playing FFXII, it's more accurate to say they've all finished playing it and are writing fic, hence all the endgame weapon forging nonsense. I'm the laggard. XD

Actually I have a lot of Abyss fans as well! But I can't tell if you all know each other or not. XD

... Wait, was that facetious or sincere?

Was what facetious? Truthfully inspired by your icon, if that's what you mean. XD FFXII + LCD Soundsystem = ...uh, something, clearly.

For thirty seconds I pondered a Balthier DJ mix but it's no good, you'd have to make a new one every week. (Can you imagine the indie scene in Archades? BITCH, THE BACKLASH STARTED YESTERDAY.)

I VOTE YES ON WEEKLY DJ MIXES

IF YOU AIN'T ON THE LIST, YOU AIN'T ON THE LIST, I DON'T CARE HOW MUCH GLITTER YOU'RE BLOODY WEARING.

A friend of mine told me expressly not to loot Lowtown because it meant not being able to get the final weapon for one of the party members. *grin* I only have FF, KH and Abyss fans on my list - but very few of the FF fans are vocal. Most prefer to happily admire in the game in silence.

We do actually have about three or four Abyss fans in common! *grin* ;) But other those, I don't think I know anyone else! Oops.
