IRL

I think I’m hungry. I ate my last meal about 9 or 10 hours ago. I had a banana about 5 hours ago. I had a Slim Fast one hour ago. Weird. I usually don’t get hungry except around noon. Oh well.

Anyways, I ended up spending most of my day playing instead of writing as I predicted. I managed to write about 2,300 words though, so I’m at 43,022 words now. 7,000 more words to go! My antagonist is starting to make their appearance now. Soon, my story is going to go downhill. Like many stories, it’s nice and lighthearted at first, then bring on the angst! This story is still considerably lighter than most of my others. Unfortunately, my evil muse won’t let me make a 100% lighthearted story, so I had to compromise. I still haven’t decided on an ending and from the looks of it, I won’t have to worry about it for this month. The NaNoWriMo requirement is to simply write 50,000 words, not finish.

Monster Rancher EVO

Shin (Julio) trains Aibou (Piroro/Piroro)
Marlene trains Lillith (Pixie/Pixie)
Gaufre trains Lakota (Tiger/Tiger)
Tico trains Maya (Maya/Maya)

I made quite a bit of progress. I went on an adventure in the Grabad Factory. Maya and Lakota ended up fainting before I hit the dungeon boss. Lillith at half-health was pwned by that boss badly. So, I put on a few shows and used a little more strategy when going through the dungeon. Lillith had gained enough anima to use Starlight, her strongest long range attack boosted by her lvl. 5 INT. She’s become my one-hit KO girl. ^^ So, when I got to the boss, I sent Lakota to keep the boss away from the other two. I let Lillith slam him with Starlight while Aibou was there to boost the guts bar.

After beating that boss, the troupe went to Campana. I went and bought some gadgets, the most expensive of ones at that. After all, the stronger the gadget the stronger the monster gets, right? Well, not quite. I didn’t lower the training method so Aibou ended up hurting himself. I just hit reset and made sure to lower it this time around. I needed to get used to the new orcoro eggs (got too used to the green ones). Also, I unlocked the Hengar breed and did some “fortune teller” side quest where I had to buy the cheapest food in the shop. That was pretty much all the food in the shop because they were all the same price -_-;. I ended up earning a whopping 5,000 gold for it though ^^. I went and re-scanned a few discs that were unable to create monsters before and mostly unlocked Hengars. I did get some Mayas though.
