Well yesterday on game I got to RP with Rocio's sister who's feeling a bit overwhelmed by Nexus. Even basic technology gets her down. It doesn't help that all the kids half her age grasp it so easily. Lamaya Silverroot took comfort in a friend who assured her that she would get it. Then, baby Luke threw salad on everything and the laugh track cued.
 
After that, Rocio got called to RP with his mate and they cuddled. Then Goldensin Essence popped and I had to go play Stillriver teahouse.
 
There's something girly in me that loves playing teahouse. I had a peak of 14, and River was a dynamo, serving tea and cookies and handling a slight hiccup when someone broke a cup. By the end of the day all the cookies shop the shop were sold out!

I got home late last night (as I may get home late tonight again), but my guild got just a big bigger last night with the addition of a few more people.  It's the back edge of the blade to having a big guild full of people.  I logged on to be productive; I ended up having a very interesting and entertaining discussion with one of my new guildmates about the artistic merits of rap music.  I think I lost an hour or so.   :lol:
 
Finally managed to get myself to Kel Voreth to run it myself.  I'm trying to get a pair of the side flairs, and I'm prepared to maim and murder my way through the instance a hundred times for them.  Nothing yet, though, and it doesn't look like I'll get a crack at it tonight.  I'm going to help Kitty get the Black Focus quests done, and hopefully get some Defile stuff done.  Even more hopefully to do it IC; I love IC quest and dungeon running! :D  So that's on the menu tonight.
 
Still coughing stuff up and feeling generally under the weather.  I really wish this illness would stop lingering. >.<

That cough can linger a while. You probably have damage from your illness. Drink lots of water. Most importantly rest. I really can't overstate how much rest and sleep plays a role on illness recovery. It -is- recovery. If you're not in bed, you're not healing.
 
It can be tough though. Today is Tuesday, reset day. So I'll be Dailying, abd rolling on any healer gear that drops in the hope that some day. I'll learn heals.

I dunno something about tea and River's encyclopedic knowledge just clicked with some of my backstory headcanon.  So a hard drinking ex-merc with PTSD has managed to find some solace and maybe heal a bit of those scars.

Morning, all!
 
Yesterday's Wildstar play was very minimal, I only did my eldan data fragment dailies and had to log. Today, I am hoping to get some more gathering, work orders and daily quests done, weekly reset hit, time to earn more EG!
 
Instead of playing last night, I went to my friends house that is a consultant with the same company I am (we sell bags, but don't want to really advertise here) and we made vision boards for the next year. Goals, inspiration, and just dreams about what we want to accomplish this year. Gave me a nice boost when I was already starting to doubt myself (I've been doing it about 7 months now, and have doubted myself every step of the way lol).
 
Anyway, hope you all have a good day!

Yesterday I did so many instances. o.o I bit the bullet and decided to finally try what I'd made my warrior alt to do - tank. But... I hadn't been able to do any instances while leveling her, so husband and I started at the very bottom. Did Hycrest, then Kel Voreth, then pulled a friend in to help with STL and Tempest Refuge, and then got a fourth friend in when we queued up for Skullcano. That was a fun one, though I'm not really sure what people hate about it. xD Gonna have to go back in later, as the pug we were with demanded we skip a lot of mobs, which meant I didn't get to pick up the lore... that was the one frustrating thing.
 
All in all, it went well. Having a bit of trouble with snap aggro, but maybe that's a warrior thing? Dunno. It was a pain to try and piece together an appropriate LAS. xD
 
Not sure what I'll do today... hopefully a lot of roleplay.
 
Oh! And yesterday I had an epiphany about what I want to do with my life, which is exciting. So... husband and I are in the beginning stages of drafting up a business plan for a cat-and-gaming cafe in Houston. :3 Biology graduate degree? What's that? Maybe I should feel bad about that, but... ah well.

Ah yes, a holdover from the days of protesting chua underpants!

Just do what I do.  Get a guild and run with them.
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
A guild, a guild! If only it were so easy... XD Trying to find a guild that fits our characters believably (we really want an rp guild) has been an exercise in futility!
----
			Well, the husband roleplays a Dominion deserter (though that part's generally kept hush-hush) who nowadays scrapes together booze, fuel, and food money by taking shipping jobs (and maybe the occasional job that involves combat). My own character is kind of a tag-along scientist whom Jack (the husband's character) takes care of. Not sure if that'd fit into mercenaries? xD (I'll admit, your guild's non-rp activity sounds engaging, though, and you're a nice guy haha.)	
----
			I can think of two guilds off the top of my head where that character backstory fits in with the rest of the guild, RP-wise.  One of them is Vic's :D

Hmmm when I hear "mercenaries", I tend to think "soldiers for hire" and that's it, so this post has been enlightening! I'll point it out to the other half later. :) Maybe this'll give us what we're looking for. Would have to come up with a way to introduce the connection IC, but that's easy peasy.

Let me tell you the parable about the impatient SS... :D
 
 
Black Focus? /sigh Shortly after Drop 3, i tanked the 5+ Black Focus quests for my guild. Unfortunately, there was no one around to run it with my Esper when she got around to those quests . Over the weekend, i decided to PUG it. Finished them with no problem. We all said "thx" and went our separate ways. Only then did i realize that I'd failed to turn in one of the quests. So i still need the boss at the top of the platforms.

{| class="blockquote"
You are the tank. If they wanna skip mobs they can try do it without you :)
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Yeah, Seeger's kind of hard to miss in a crowd, especially a crowd of Aurin.... >.>
----
			
{| class="blockquote"
Would they, by any chance, have advertised for help with a job (moving supplies or somesuch)? Or something else that might give Jack reason enough to seek them out. If all else fails, could just throw them at this Seeger fellow and hope for the best. XD

You guys are awesome RPers. I wish I could stay awake longer and more often to hang out at The Drunken Boulder but I just can't. :(

My mordesh bakes. Muffins, cupcakes, scones. If it is portable and warm I can hook you up. 
Unfortunately I'm a blackhood first, which kind of strains things with the rest of these ragtag ne'er do wells. 
Would I feel bad if I had to drive redhot screws into the hands/knees/eyeballs of a character I know? Yes, but it isn't going to stop me if I think it is for the security of the exiles. If you have something towards a cure for the contagion, I will put you in a wood chipper feet first to get it. 
 
I would really like to minimize the times that I have to "put on the hood". Even having to RP the weird dissociative disorder that is required to make blackhoods believably terrifying takes an emotional toll that I have to shake off when I'm done. 
 
 
If you want a nice person, you should try and find my mechari.

Haha! I know the feel.
 
There are times where I physically get up and pace because my chatacter has done some ICly that is wrong to me. It's to remove the urge to make OOC comments that would take away from the moment.
 
Like: ((Rocio is being creepy. Sorry!))

Reminds me of that time I got drunk in Arboria and ended up in the Dominion. 
I remember this
 
 
 
But woke up to 
 
 
Be smart and make sure to get drunk with friends, or you might end up as the personal chew toy of a draken witch. 
....Then again I didn't really mind.

Lucky you.  Seeger's been trying to meet non-Aurin women for months.

We have quite a bit of former Dominion in Exile, but almost no former Exile in Dominion.

Considering that admitting to being an Exile would pretty much be a death sentence, that's not surprising :lol:
