Beautiful day to ye, fair denizens of Vana’diel!

So yea… remember what I said in a previous entry about having oodles of money, or some such thing?

… it’s gone o.o

Before we call in the Star Onion Brigade and have them dish out their brand of “unique” justice on some innocent passerby, I’ll say it now: it was all my doing.

There I was, just a-walkin’ down the street, singing “Do-wa-diddy-diddy-da-diddy-doo,” when suddenly I was struck by a case of the Gotta-Get-Me-Some. Ya know: the urge to splurge? That twinkle in your eye similar to Qiqirn and the Clink-Clink? Yea, that urge. And since it’s been over a year since I’ve had 100, 000 gil in my possession… I can’t lie; I was feeling like a fat cat with a fat wallet, and I wasn’t afraid to spend, spend, spend!

Whilst doing some window shopping in Windurst, it dawned on me that I was missing some spells. Okay, a good chunk of them So I headed to the Federal Magic Reserve nd bought some spells at a decent price: no way was I gonna pay more at the AH than I needed to, plus Windy was 1st in the Conquest Rankings at the time, making it the perfect moment for splurging

Not content with Windy Wallet Dominance, I headed to Jeuno to continue my Reign of Terror and bought more spells. More!!! Bwa, ha, ha, ha, ha…

Next thing you know, I’m staring at the lint balls at the bottom of meh wallet >.>

*le sighhhhhhhhhhh* What’s a kitty to do?

As I was heading back to my Jeuno Rent-a-Room, I heard the oddest thing:

Mysterious Voice: Pssst.

Me: <.< … >.>

Mysterious Voice: PSSSSSSSSSSST!

Me: O.o???

Mysterious Voice: *throws a rock at my head*

Me: >.o sunuva-

Mysterious Voice: You lookin’ for some gilzzzzz?

Me: o.o

Mysterious Voice: I know where you can get some gilzzzz…

Then a Galka in a Vermilion Robe came out from the alley, grabbed me by the tail, and took me to Ru’Ann Garden. *As an aside, Buckline doesn’t want me to go off with strangers, even if they have Gummi Chocos on them. Or have other people touch my tail. So if he was there, he would’ve punched that Galka’s teeth in, or gave him the number of a dental hygenist ’cause his breath was really stinky*

The mystery chap introduced himself as Dancing with Gerbils and told me that I could make good money by shaking down Tarutarus. Being desperate, I decided to give it a go. I was grabbing Tarus by their ank… er, feet… no, wait… stubs. I was grabbing them by their stubs left and right; shaking them like salt and pepper shakers ’til loose change and bubble gum fell out their pockets. It’ll be a slow climb, but I’ll get back to my once bountiful pockets!

…

Okay, so none of that actually happened. At least from the Galka onward. I am slightly broke. Not as much as before, thankfully. Did a lil’ farming and got back into crafting (actually made a profit, too!)

ACTUAL ACHIEVEMENTS THIS WEEK:

• Ding! White Mage level 38; finally got to use Teleport-Altep & Yhoat and gained Inventory +2! xD
• Ding! Black Mage 30! Good times!
• Ding! Cooking level 13~! Bug Broth FTW!

Also found out that Dr. Shantotto was conducting more experiments and has found a way to rip a hole in the Space-Time continuum… again. <.< Seems there are other Vana’diels out there, all exactly the same as Seraph, only with different people on it. Who knew!? Anyhoo, the worlds are merging and there’s no way to stop it. Thanks, Doc! >_>’ According to Astrological Maps, Seraph is on a one-way course to a world called Bismarck. The gravitation pull will be so great, that Seraph will be no more…

I imagine the surgical procedure to turn a flaming, six-winged Angel into a 10-billion foot long white whale is a painful one… if not messy.

To those on Bismarck who might be reading this:

HEEEYY YOU GUUUUUUUYS!!!!!!!!!!! I HOPE YOU LIKE COOOOOOOKIIIIIEEEEEESSSSS!!!!! <3

To prepare for the oncoming collision, I have created an uber-bunker beneath the catacombs of my Mog House that is water-resistant, sound-proof, and yes, can withstand Meteor (it’s the secret to beating Absolute Virtue…) We don’t have any food though: My moogle used it all for this, my final Achievement for the week that happened today, February 28:

Ding, ding, ding! Age 29

Happy to know that Gummi Chocos taste the same no matter how old ya get ~_^ There’ll be plenty of Moogle Ale and Chocolate cake to go around. So w00ts for being a year older (and wiser… nah), and I look forward to meeting you nice folks on Bismarck

TALLY-HOOOOOO~!
