areolasso.... long time no post huh. It's not even like I've been too busy. I feel like when I'm drowning in work and school it makes me more likely to come in and write a quick post because I'm desperate for the break. I've been less busy the past couple weeks & I've been really wrapped up into spending my spare time reading and working on dnd stuff. We're getting closer and closer to finishing up strahd! But some of the stuff I've been writing down I think is going to be longer than I was initially thinking.
I asked them last night.... There's a pretty major side quest item I was thinking about changing around. In canon it's inside the castle but I thought it was kind of wild to send them into the castle again, this time sneaking through to steal something out of it and get back out unnoticed. It's gonna be HARD and there are a lot of really dangerous traps, like TPK level dangerous traps. I was going to move the item to somewhere else to instead be won after a big battle, but I asked the (attentive) players & they all want to do a heist so, dangerous option it is! Now I just have to plan for that... For once the locate object spell might turn out to be useful.
I'm also going to take this chance to bring back the PC that died in the prologue part as a vampire spawn inside the castle I think that'll be fun and impactful for them. Well. "Fun" She was not an evil PC and would hate this fate, so she's going to be asking them to kill her out of mercy.
I bought this software called Foundry which is a very interactive virtual tabletop specifically designed for ttrpg with walls and shadows and each player has their own individual views different to each other & it seems really cool! There's a learning curve on my end of things, but I'm working on it! That's one of the other things on my to do list this weekend
Other updates....
The other morning I was woken up as usual by Fennec being an annoying little creep bc it's almost breakfast time. She often find like hair or dust on the ground to eat to be obnoxious or a couple of times has chewed on those little clear straps on dresses, all to try and get my out of bed to feed her. I always take what I can off of her but she rarely is actually eating anything. That morning though I saw something hanging out of her mouth so I jumped out of bed & of course she bolted. I had to chase her down, grab & drag her across the floor, & rip this thing out of her mouth. It was a thick ponytail holder!!! I have no idea where she found it even. I just tidied up the part of my room she was in & I didn't see if over there. Freaked me out so bad, I'm glad I caught her before she swallowed it. She's been fine since, her usual self.
Been working on my prey costume, my first real endeavor into sewing clothing panels even though I'm not working from scratch or anything. So far it's coming out ok! I just have to actually dedicate the time to it. May will be here before I know it.
We started watching twin peaks & we're completely obsessed with it. We devoured season 1 in like 4 days because we were just so absorbed in the story. We read that the second half of season 2 isn't very good there & we've just hit episode 12 or 13.... and man.... they were right. It's still not bad, it's just not very good either. Shout out to Bob Iger for that one.
Class is still...... eh for me. I have issue with some of the stuff she does. Like during class time we follow along with notes she makes & sprinkled within are little mini exercises we do. We're always behind schedule so she just says to do the mini exercise on our own time.... but then she never follows up with the answers to them. I don't know what's the point of doing them if we don't actually get told the answers??
I missed both classes last week which does suck. I skipped the one just because I wanted to take my freebie but then on Thursday i had cramps and was struck with a period poop right when it was time to leave. So I missed my freakin bus and the next bus didn't come and by the time the next one came I would've been 30+ mins late so I just went home. I feel bad missing even though I'm sure I didn't miss anything lol and even when I do go I just work on other stuff while I'm there.
I have to take a summer course this year as a prereq to finish the rest of my degree. The only thing is that the class I need is undergrad and is outside of my discipline so I need a permission number. However to request a permission number from the dept I need permission from the class instructor to take the class. I emailed him twice (the first time back on Feb 2) and gotten no response. so I emailed the dept head last week & haven't gotten a response. Wtf do I have to do to get permission to take this class I NEED to take??? WHY do I need permission anyway? God's sake it's a required class so I have to take it, end of? It has me so irritated.
That's it! That's basically everything that's been going on. Writing an update was the first thing on my list today, this time change has me on a big delay. I'm taking tomorrow off though so I'll have time then to do stuff too. Woo!
