Breakdown of cooling function

LIST OF CHAPTERS

[Translation under the cut]

Kukuri: Good morning~! Oh, it's hot again today. I am worried about what it's going to be in the future.

Saya: That's right…It's going to get a lot hotter.

Saya: But it's cooler inside the school, and I'm very thankful for that… Kukuri: That's one of the best things about our school. Also I've never heard of any breakdowns. I think they inspect it frequently.

Kukuri: …Ah, I don't have time to relax! I'm on day duty today, so I'll go first!

Saya: Uhm! See you in class!

Saya: (It's hot, I should hurry a bit too)

Claudia: Okay, I'm going to end today's homeroom. It's very hot today, so please be careful not to get heat stroke.

Saya: (Well, now that class is over, let's go to the club room)

Kukuri: So, it's club activities now? Would you like to join me on the way?

Saya: Uhm, let's go together!

Kukuri: Ice cream~! Nice! Maybe I'll get some too…Or maybe we can make it in the club activities!

Saya: Kukuri-chan is in the cooking club, right?

Kukuri: I'll try to talk it over with the President of the club. If I can find a recipe that looks easy to make, we can make it together at the dorm next time!

Saya: Uhm! I'm looking forward to it.

Saya: Sorry for the intrusion.

Saya: …!!!!!

Saya: (I-It's very hot here…!!)

Fushimi: Oi! Don't block the way.

Saya: Fushimi-kun…

Fushimi: …Ugh! This is more than I expected…

Saya: Fushimi-kun, you said this school is fully air-conditioned, right…?

Fushimi: President informed me that the air cooling function in the department room has broken down. He said it won't be fixed until tomorrow.

Saya: Is that so…Are we going to do club activities today…?

Fushimi: We will. We've been asked to compile these documents by the end of the day.

Saya: I see…

Saya: (It can't be helped, let's get ready)

Fushimi: Leave the door open for now. To let some wind in from the hallway.

Saya: Understood.

Fushimi: Tsk…Why do we even have a club activity in this heat…

Saya: (Fushimi-kun is very irritated…Ah,yes)

Saya: I think I'll go get some ice cream. It'll be a little cooler.

Fushimi: You haven't finished compiling the documents.

Saya: I thought our brains would work more efficiently if we ate ice cream and cooled them down…

Fushimi: Better get it over with and go home. Besides, it'll melt in this room in no time. What if the papers get dirty?

Saya: …Are you saying it's not hot for you, Fishimi-kun?

Fushimi: Of course it's hot.

Saya: You don't look too hot.

Fushimi: It's getting hotter and hotter because you keep talking about how hot it is. Just keep silent and do your work.

Saya: Fushimi-kun, you just said it three times yourself.

Fushimi: …

Saya: But it's really hot, so I can't help but talk about it.

Fushimi: …

Saya: …

Saya: Maybe it's hotter in the clubroom than outside. I think we should do it outside.

Fushimi: …

Saya: Fushimi-kun?

Fushimi: Ha?

Saya: It's still hot, so I'm going to get some ice cream…

Fushimi: Noisy. How many times do you have to say 'it's hot, it's hot' to be satisfied?

Fushimi: If you say it's hot again, I'll have you do all the rest of the tally with the clubroom door closed.

Saya: U-Understood. Won't say it again.

Munakata: …Thank you both for your hard work in this heat.

Saya: Munakata-senpai.

Munakata: How is the work progressing?

Saya: Ah, sorry. We haven't finished everything yet.

Fushimi: This is what happens when you waste your time talking nonsense.

Munakata: But this room is hot. When it is this hot, you can't get into your job.

Munakata: Well, but we can't just keep saying 'It's hot, it's hot'. I know it's hard work in the heat…

Saya: (Munakata-senpai…He's using the word “hot” so much…I wonder if he heard what I said earlier)

Fushimi: Tsk…

Saya: (Fushimi-kun is in a very bad mood…!)

Fushimi: President. What happened to the other members of the Blue club? None of them are coming.

Munakata: Oh, about that. Everyone else is resting today due to heat stroke or summer colds.

Fushimi: …Ha?

Saya: Eh…

Munakata: They were attending classes, but it's because of this heat. It's no wonder they are not feeling well.

Munakata: On the contrary, it's probably a good thing they're having the day off, because the air conditioning just happened to be broken down.

Saya: (Could it be that…Everyone knew about the heat and took a day off…)

Munakata: I'm sorry for both of you, but please work hard to make up for everyone else's loss.

Munakata: Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some work to do in the Student Council Office.

Saya: Okay…T-Thank you for your hard work.

Saya: (I think Fushimi-kun is giving off the most displeased aura ever)

Fushimi: …

Saya: If we stay here, we're going to feel unwell too…

Saya: A-All right! Let's hurry up and finish the tally!

Something I really appreciate about Forte is that he is both sensitive and persistent.

I've been having a hard few days symptom wise but it took me a while to figure that out and thus start doing things to help myself. In that time Forte has been on me, constantly coming up to perform his grounding tasks and keep me safe. This includes quite literally keeping me from kissing the floor because I can become so disconnected from my body that I fall out of chairs.

Aside from people telling me I look tired, it's not been obvious to others either. But Forte is so attuned to me that he recognized the signs and has been doing his job, even though I didn't and thus wasn't really rewarding him for it. In fact, I'd been pushing him (gently) off me and wondering why he was so clingy as of late.

He refused to be deterred by my lack of praise or reward, which normally I am generous with. And when I finally realized what he'd really been doing it just... I am overwhelmed with how amazing he is and how much I love him. How bone deep grateful I am to have him.

He's such a good soul. There's a lot of impressive things dogs can be trained to do. But I believe that actively choosing this job isn't one of them. That has to come from the dog. They have to have their own desire to be a service dog. And he reminds me time and again in his steadfast adherence to his training, regardless of getting paid or not, that this is what he chooses.

If you read the whole thing, thanks for letting me wax poetic about my amazing dog. And if you skipped to the end, that's cool too. Either way please enjoy this photo of Forte in a bow tie. It was gifted by a coworker and I believe shows him as the ultimate gentleman his is.

hi again almandine !! i hope uve been taking care of urself too and eating well ; ur most recent post reminded me that i wanted to ask, what does a sparring session between u and ajax usually look like ? does he use his foul legacy form ? id love to hear abt the specifics on ur hcs for ur s/is powers 🙇‍♀️🫶 wishing u well !!

HIIII, hi, Clara! It’s such a delight to see you again, I hope you’ve been well! <33

I feel like playfighting is, a fairly popular pastime for us together? And by playfighting I mean “we’re leaving this interaction with water in our lungs and scorched skin that hurts to to the touch.”

I’m still slightly unsure which direction I want to take the Genshin self-insert in but having a comfort + universal s/i that is quite literally “just me does” somewhat allow me more freedom and creative liberty with with the former so I’m making little changes here and there pretty actively.

I know in yesterday’s post I was like Genshin Lapis “has killed millions & will do so again” but I think I’m more inclined to take her into a different direction of “has killed millions & now just wants to settle down peacefully” — meaning that I think GI Lapis would be on the same power level as his foul legacy form, but definitely goes easier on him on purpose during sparring. It’s not because he thinks of Ajax as weak (she’s lovestruck & probably regularly tells him he’s the strongest warrior she’s ever seen in the many years that she has roamed the planet) but rather because all things considered, GI lapis is still… you know, the pyro dragon sovereign? And despite harnessing the power of the abyss and utilising foul legacy, Ajax is still only human.

I should mention that I’m not a huge fan of mortal/immortal dynamics personally but I hardly doubt that Tartaglia subscribes to “mortality” as we know it; if he did, the use of his delusion and foul legacy would have destroyed and terminated him by now, so I view him as human but not… mortal per se? That said, Ajax would be insistent on going all out, both of them, but she scolds him because she knows how using his foul legacy affects his health and it worries her. They still spar a lot! Lapis isn’t into fighting that much anymore but she is absolutely invested in improving Ajax’s skills. Just because she is against using her own full power and adamantly against him using foul legacy in their sparring sessions (unless it’s a special occasion) does not mean she won’t literally make it rain fire on him. They are both utterly infatuated though so no matter who wins in the end, it still ends with the two giggling & telling each other throw well they did while cuddling into each other (despite being uh, soaking wet with water and sweat combined). Technically both are victors every round; one wins through combat skill, the other wins by getting pinned to the floor. Godspeed

You know that one dialogue Ajax has about even taking on the Harbingers? Yeah, she supports that idea 100%; she LOATHES the fatui and the tsaritsa (+ her harbingers) (lapis finds them pretentious) and her personal pride doesn’t find the idea of being on the absolute top of the food chain not too bad either, so, he needs to be used to breaking a few bones here and there. Plus, Lapis doesn’t engage in her previous aggressions anymore so, it’s good to get some exercise in, she supposes. It’s a win-win.

As for specifics on her powers! I’m going to be talking from a gameplay perspective here. First of all? I’m pulling the same stunt MiHoYo pulled with the Tartaglia boss fight; the atmosphere during it, the intense music, the panic when you first fight him as one of the first ever bosses (though he becomes literally the easiest one after, whoops), his foul legacy attacks, the way he dashes so fast, the magnificent creature he summons from hydro — it’s intense, it’s gorgeous. And then uh, there’s the playable Tartaglia — who is, you know, not bad! I love him even though I always have terrible luck on his banners despite the fact that I started playing in 2021. But he is still just a tad… underwhelming compared to the grandness of the version of him that we fought.

Anyway, you’re getting the same thing with GI Lapis. He isn’t fast like Ajax but she is, um, like twice the size of foul legacy in her dragon form if not even bigger so that isn’t necessary anyhow. I actually want her to be fairly tall and domineering in her dragon/boss battle form, just like… slightly smaller than Azhdaha? She doesn’t change elements or such however; she remains bound to pyro. I do however want her boss battle to be in a really shallow water body so that the player is almost constantly experiencing reverse vapourise unless they pull some fuckass geo structure bullshit. I want the boss battle music to be quite similar to the Bloodborne soundtrack OSTs but with some Doom themes. Something cathartic and visceral, you know? And then there’s… her as a playable character.

Best support character/sub-DPS for Childe you can imagine. First of all? Pyro and Hydro = vapourise, which is arguably one of the best — if not the best — reactions in the game. Secondly… I want to somehow add energy recharge to her kit (preferably through one of the active skills) so that it enhances Tartaglia’s riptide the way Raiden does. I may make her either a catalyst or a sword (or claymore!) user depending on how I feel, that part is still undecided. As for her passive skill, I think it’d be so much funnier if MiHoYo made it specific like “Increases full team’s ATK by 10% if Tartaglia is in the team, with an additional 10% ATK bonus if vapourise is performed using both character’s skills” Imagine literally requiring another character to fully be able to utilise one character’s kit? Can you imagine the profit they’d make? I could be the perfect cashcow. Non-game play powers also include knife throwing, skill with blades in general and oh! She naturally runs cold and craves warmth so she is constantly using a little bit of her pyro powers to keep herself pleasantly warm.

I also think all of this would tie in nicely with the fact that GI Lapis is no longer the fearmongering dragon warlord that she once was? He, like the other dragons we’ve seen so far, is… more or less just enjoying retirement and works in the legal field almost entirely for fun (and mora); so her being on the battlefield or fighting will literally always 100% be because Ajax is involved somehow and she would do Anything to protect this man, no matter how stupid the thing may be. Plus she likes having a “justified” excuse to be a menace from time to time anyway. To summarise the lore I have for her: war lord dragon sovereign who used to consider international peace a mere suggestion suddenly decides on giving up violence and settling down with some random anime-european man. So. You know.

Sephiroth Headcanon

He'd probably love Jurassic Park.

Yes, maybe a story dealing with the dangerous power of genetic engineering may be a... touchy subject. But with how well it's handled in the original film, plus it's a classic, I can see it being his 'thing'.

I can also see him enjoying the sequel (The Lost World: Jurassic Park), since it ends on the note of leaving the genetically engineered man-made creatures to live in peace on their island(s). Which is unfortunately not held up in any of the sequels...

Can't decide what he'd think of the third film, but I doubt he'd like the Jurassic World trilogy. The hybrids might hit a bit too close to home (angry genetically modified abominations whose tragedy the films actively choose to ignore instead of explore, anyone?). Also they're trash.
