So, my agent finally hooked up with Watcher Two. After 30 levels of flirting, staying well away from Kaliyo, and trying to be charming.

It was so worth it. It was seriously *everything* I'd want in a romance. From watching him slowly charm her (from her calling him a dirty alien to admitting that he was "the best partner she could hope to have" and inviting him back to her apartment), to her admitting that she "thinks of you whenever she has the cycles to spare", to the sad line of "the job aways gets in the way", to just...argh.

And the worst part is, I already know that she's going to dump me as soon as I get two more quests done. *cries* Oh, the tragedy! The tragedy! Seriously, though, I'm so sad. Bioware *finally* makes a romance that I like, and then they ruin it as soon as it starts. (Not to mention that I'm fairly sure that this is the only romance in the agent questline that does not seriously squick me out.)

(Then again, I suppose that if it lasted, I'd probably find it boring as all hell. Oh well. Will just hold on, waiting for those precious lines later on when Watcher Two admits that "we're equals now".)

I honestly hadn't though I'd be all that into it, seeing as I really don't RP, and the connections I imagine existing between my characters tend to be "they're all alts". But the weird back-stories hinted at by the game has somehow has made me really into the stupid family tree.

( Blah, blah, cut. )

The short of it is, you let him go and never see him again.  (At least as far as I know.)

But he does send you these fascinating three emails:

So this started as a mission to both: a) use up all the extra fabric from Bastila and b) figure out how to use my brand new serger.

( Wee, serging! )

Okay, so...I'm considering getting a Mumble (like Ventrilo) server mostly because of Mom.

You see, as of the moment, most of our attempts to play TOR go like this:

Me:  Go to the flight path
Mom: Where is the flight path?
Me:  My character is jumping on it.  Come to my purple icon.
(A minute later, I get a call on my cell phone.)
Mom: Where are you?
Me:  I'm the purple icon!  Come to the purple icon!

So I'm thinking that for around $30 a year, it might be well worth renting the space just so that Mom stops freaking out and going in the wrong direction.

If I did this, would anyone be interested in using it?  (Not paying for it, just using it for running dungeons or random questing or whatever.) It feels kind of silly to spend money just to help Mom (although probably ultimately worth it).  OTOH, if other people are like, "Oh, yes, we finally get a server!" it's like an added bonus. 

Every time I think your costuming concepts can't get any worse, you spring something crazy on me.  Like whatever my agent is wearing now:

I kid you not. They somehow or other decided that agents needed an armor set that appears to be a white trench coat, with purple lining, and neon orange and light pink details.


( Cut for Pics )
ETA: I just checked the agent legacy armor. And...guess what the agents are going to be wearing during their early levels if they want an xp bonus? Ho ho ho! There will be *many* disco agents soon!

So, I worked with real fur for the first time today.

This is all part of the Emma Frost costume. You see, my feeling on it is, 95% of the time I see the outfit done, it's cheap lingerie with thigh high boots. I want to show that the outfit can be done well. So, being me, I found some Italian lambskin and imported it, then made a real corset, underwear, a cotton velvet cape, etc.  (I did buy the gloves - also lambskin - and boots - cheap PU leather there.  But...at some point, I give up.)


( Cut for Length. No pics yet, but will warn when I include them. )

Finally, back to posting about sewing projects again! This time, a light robe that I made out of a cool insect print flannel that I found a while back.

( Pics et. after cut )

So Vector finally broke down and gave me presents (despite my fail!attempt to break up with him.  I swear, game, if you make my character get pregnant, she is so getting an abortion.  You have been warned.  No babies if I say no. NONE!)  And not just one!  Three!  With little vaguely cryptic, strangely weird, and kind of sweet notes.

My new agent is glorious.
