Never should have gone to Sharlayan at night. That gentle guitar always traps me there for the whole cycle.

She cuts a fine enough figure when she wants to.

There are some who claim retirement from the adventuring life led to Arashi growing soft. But never within hornshot.

New chapter! Kasumi falls apart. Shining Claw bars the path. Fareena steps up.

"Alright, time for bed!"
"Wh- HEY! Put me down!"
The trouble with your wife being able to bench press you is that she can manhandle you just as easily.

A snippet of text, reading: “No. No. No no nononoNONONONONONO!” Kasumi scrambled to her feet and charged at the heaped rubble, clawing and scratching and pulling and utterly, utterly failing to clear a path. She summoned her blade again, slashing and gnashing and biting deep into the metal and plaster and stone, but nothing budged. It wasn’t right. It wasn’t fair. She couldn’t let it end this way. She couldn’t leave Yugiri to Zoraal Ja’s mercy, not while wearing her face, not while her soul crystal was in her hands, not while she smiled like it was going to be the last- “Kasumi, come on! We have to go!” Yaana’s voice. Yaana’s hands. Sliding under her arms and pulling her away from the gap. “NO! SHE’S STILL IN THERE! I HAVE TO-” “I know, but so is my sister! We can’t do anything for them now, and we’ll be able to do even less if Zoraal Ja and his men catch us! So come on!” Kasumi tried to struggle, tried to find some way to protest, to make Yaana see, but the hhetsarro’s grip was too strong, her words too truthful to be shoved aside. Though she wailed and wept and cried out Yugiri’s name to the uncaring wreckage, Kasumi let herself be pulled away. And her heart broke to do so.
New chapter's coming along very well, but I've got something else that'll keep me from finishing it tonight. In the meantime, have a preview. OF PAIN!
#localizard
The tier list in Arashi’s head is Yaana > Eutrope > vague selection of everyone else > Deep Blue >>>>>>>>>>> Honey B Lovely.
The bee knows what she did.
#wolqotd #localizard
So y'know Baiken from Guilty Gear? Yeah. Her.
#localizard #wolqotd
Another one down. I'm a sucker for a chunky gunblade, and the red goes great with the outfit.
#localizard
Talking about role quests have me thinking about the DT role quests again, specifically the Ranged DPS one. Sanda tackles that, being the resident Bard, and the entire time things are going wrong in Ala Mhigo she's desperately trying to keep her sister from finding out.
#localizard
Stormblood is the most important expansion for Arashi for so many reasons. It's the first time she sets foot in Doma since childhood. It's where she gets the varnish her parents applied to it torn away. It's where she finds her sister again. It's when she finds love.
#localizard #wolqotd
New chapter! Arashi tests a theory. Sanda stumbles. Y'shtola gets some answers.

Always puts a smile on my face when I see a fic of mine reach X69 hits. Just pleases the 12 year old in me. Anyway, I now need either nobody else or exactly 100 more people to read Wheels of Thunder.
#localizard
Once, she craved it more than anything. Now she sees it every day and does everything she can to not meet it properly. Not for herself but for the people she'll leave behind and for the world that still needs her might. She's not afraid, though. There's far worse out there.
#localizard #wolqotd
It's a "0.1% wipe on Zodiark (normal) because the healers can't be bothered healing through the stack" day, apparently. That, the Amazing Eight Vuln Up Gunbreaker, and the Reaper who blew LB3 at 30% and then started chasing the Gunbreaker's record is enough of a deal-breaker for me.
#localizard
"Okay, time to log in, get my retainers sorted, reset the timer on house, and-"
...
"Darling."
#localizard
Yes, in both instances. Wheels of Thunder Arashi much prefers bikes, and regular Arashi thinks they're too complicated by half and dangerous to boot. She's waiting for the other shoe to drop and for all cars to be secret Allagan death machines.
#wolqotd #localizard
Yes, but I rarely play them. I have a lot of problems with energy levels, and the idea of juggling multiple characters across multiple worlds and multiple playthroughs just exhausts me. I still enjoy them, though, and I want to get back to Kasumi (my EU alt) at some point.
#wolqotd #localizard
Canon. Confusingly, confoundingly canon. Arashi has long since learned to leave logic at the door when a Manderville man is around.
Tender and Hildi were childhood friends for a time, but after both vanished during the calamity, they grew distant. Quite literally.
#localizard #wolqotd
It really is that simple.

"I know what you're thinking, and no. I don't know where this is either. And given the only person who did kept calling me... Well, suffice to say I'm as lost as ever."
#localizard
New chapter! Kasumi makes tracks. Eutrope makes her choice. Yugiri makes a decision.

Chocobos have a hive mind. No evidence to this has ever been discovered, but Arashi believes it wholeheartedly. That's why all but the most cantankerous horsebirds avoid her. They know what she did.
It's actually because she grew up hunting them and looks at them like a predator would.
#localizard
The first night was sleepless. A lot of adrenaline from Ala Mhigo's liberation helped with that. The morning was spent talking. Figuring out what they wanted. How they would handle Lyse staying in Ala Mhigo. How they would tell everyone.
#localizard #wolqotd
Home over in the Lavender Beds, or else whichever inn room I've plonked the lizard in to fuck around with glams. Somewhere safe, anyway. Lizard deserves that much.
#localizard #wolqotd
Blade out, armour on, full alert until the source of the noise is found. Arashi spent five years out in the wilderness with bandits and monsters everywhere. She's a light, twitchy sleeper.
