#i cant wait for clothing craft to unlock

[swampgallows]

as someone who loves maxing out professions in wow, timegated reagents make me fucking cuhraaayyzeeeeeee. like to skill up in bfa cooking you have to either wait for specific world quests to be up or you have to grind out reputation just to get "rank 2" of a recipe you already know but it uses fewer reagents or w/e and grants skill points again. or in legion even NOMI had a command table of sorts where he'd "research" and you'd HOPE youd get those recipe scraps til you could combine ten and get a new one. but as a tailor i know im gonna be haunted by all those appearances i can't unlock yet because they all require sparks, sometimes TWO!!, and i cant just churn em out. im still working on damn BFA!!! tailoring appearances because they require reagents from eternal palace and nyalotha—not even for the recipe itself but for a "loom" (abyssal focus) to craft it at.

like on one hand maybe they didn't want players to be able to craft themselves a "raid-grade " set—which like, why? BC and wrath you could easily craft yourself a raid-ready set; hell even in the vanilla felcloth and mooncloth sets were pretty useful. it was time-gated in its own way i guess (could only make cloth once a day at a specific location) but if someone REALLY wanted to they could get reagents on the AH. and at the same time i dont know why there aren't 'base' versions of the recipes, or why sparks themselves are tiered. it seems like with primal infusions and all the fixins they added you could just make the base item and then "socket" it when recrafting to be a higher ilevel. especially because it requires a matching spark to use it! like!!! why require a spark (cap 395) AND a matching infusion (cap 408) just for the smallest ilevel upgrade? this late in the xpac these items are useless. why wouldnt they just roll over/consolidate, or better yet be currency (e.g. crests)?

so not only am i just dumping them into something i'll vendor (since i just want the appearance), i cant even do the whole crafting order roulette through my alts and get them upgrades out of it. it's two entire sparks to craft one of the inscription staves just to be able to skill up my inscription, which means i'm wasting sparks (a time gated resource) and also NOT getting a worthwhile item out of it because my scribe's skill points arent high enough to craft a higher quality item because he needs sparks to skill up aaaaaaaaaaaaaa

basically all im saying is that dragonflight profession gear/appearances are not gonna be very retroactive-friendly. since i missed a chunk of this xpac im already way behind in terms of gathering sparks and have no way to catch up just to complete content that's already irrelevant (save for collection/maxing/transmog).

Year in Review - Animal Crossing New Horizons

I started writing this review/criticism in May of 2020 but decided to update it as the year went along and post it on the anniversary of NH’s release. I would like to preface that this is mostly going to be full of questions of criticisms, I love this game. I have not been able to put it down since I got it on March 20th. My first AC game was NL and then I played HHD. I was ecstatic when they announced NH at E3 2019 and kept trying to find other games to fit in my AC shaped hole in my heart but I wasn’t able to fill it till this game came out. I feel like the pace of the game is great with how you build up to unlocking terraforming and 5 stars, and I feel like the updates are well timed especially with how crazy 2020 was for everybody. That being said there were some things that irked me. 

Some of the points I will bring up came from other people/commenters I have seen on here, Discord, Reddit, and Twitter that I also agree with. Some other points are from Youtubers such as ShayMay and ChuyPlays. And others are from me. 

With that out of the way, let’s get on with the review. Warning, I guess, don’t expect this to be an essay, this is just a patchwork quilt made up of thoughts.

Terraforming

I wish cliffs/tiers had a smaller level? Like how we’re able to make stepping stones for our rivers if we don’t want to put a bridge down/use our vaulting pole. I just wish there was a cliff alternative. 

Another cliff alternative would be if we could put bridges between cliffs. I think we’ve all been there where we see this picture 

          thought ‘we can do that!!” then realized it was photoshopped

When we go into terraforming, I wish a grid showed up on our island. It would make it much easier to avoid hitting the wrong square when I’m trying to change a river. 

Having us be able to “close” a waterfall from a lower level but not create a new on at the same spot. 

Also the fact we can add a 4th tier but can’t put anything on it is just strange to me. I know we have to have a limit to how high we can go, but at least let me put nature stuff, such as trees/flowers/bushes, on top of it instead of just a flat piece of land. 

Houses

Why no ceiling items? Find it odd they added a bunch of stuff in HHD and didn’t add that to the new mainline game

There’s no reason I can think of to why we can’t access our storage when we’re crafting inside our house. 

Buildings

Dodo Airlines

The Dodo Islands right now are very boring and barely use them. I have enough money and materials to not go farming and save up all my NMTs for when I go villager hunting, which has also become a rarity. I think it would be a good idea to make some islands seasoned themed. Have them be all rare, but have an island where it’s fall and has maple leaves falling, a cherry blossom one, one with snowflakes. I wouldn’t recommend they make Holiday themed ones, but having seasonal ones would be nice.

When I mess up a dodo code or accidentally hit ‘make a bridge’ instead of incline, etc. why do I have to restart the ENTIRE conversation instead of the characters just being “oh? did you mean “x” or “would you like to retype it?” like is it that hard??  

Resident Services

As much as I love Isabelle this game has made me very indifferent towards her. I think they gave her a role that didn’t need to exist. They could have either let us roam around without any warnings to who was roaming around our island, in the campsite, or any weather updates. Just have us rely on our villagers, the TV, and our eyeballs. OR they could have given us a social media like app and/or a weather app. Instead, they gave us Isabelle that only announces something once a month.

Nook’s Cranny

This might just be me but can they add a little DIY area in the store? Maybe just make to where you can only customize things?? This is more out of convenience than an actual problem  

Speaking of customization, since you can make medicine but also buy can we do the same for the custom kits and bait. Like make it where we can buy bait and also make our own custom kits? I just think it’s weird that they give us either/or for medicine but not for the other 2 that I honestly use way more than medicine.

Why do the Able Sisters get to have all of the colors of an item in their shop but Nook’s Cranny can’t? And why can’t we just be able to customize all items that have multiple looks/colors? Example, why can’t I just be able to change the wood type for the antique set instead of having to buy each one? I get that the furniture catalog is already small, but that’s not my fault. They’ve decided to not add past furniture sets into NH. 

Able Sisters

Let us multi select clothes instead of it just being how much we can wear. idc if it’ll just put those clothes in our personal storage and then we’ll have to run home and put it in that storage, I just hate having to walk back in and out every time I want a dress in multi colors. ALSO tell us if we already bought it, like a little storage icon or something

Why can’t we hang any article of clothing on the back wall, why do we have to either make it or have the OG qr designer come to our island? 

Why can’t we have the transparent option when designing clothes? I think it would make many designer’s lives easier instead of having to make 8 versions of the same outfit.

NPCs

I have played this game almost every day since it came out, minus 2 days. I have also been able to make friends on discord that help with trading/cataloging/etc. I have all of Saharah’s, Kicks’, Label’s, and Redd’s items. I have all of the fish/bug models I want and have no desire to “catch them all”. I haven’t talked to Wisp in months because I have most of the items and his idea of “expensive” is 10k bells. The only NPC I actively look forward to is Celeste because even though I now have all of her DIYs, she still gives out star fragments, regular large or horoscope, when I talk to her. 

What I’m wondering is if they’re planning on doing anything else with these characters. Before I speak further I’m going to weed out characters that I am actually fine with. CJ and Flick will always be there if I want a bug/fish model, I understand that Saharah/Kicks/Redd have a ton of stuff to get and w/o the help of my discord friends, I probably wouldn’t have gotten everything till late 2021. 

So that leaves Label and Wisp. I understand Wisp is there for beginners, but now that I’m at a point where I am a bell millionaire and have most of the Nook’s items cataloged, there is no reason for me to talk to him. I wish Nintendo had put in a system where depending on the person who Wisp is talking to, it determines how much money you have in your bank account/looks at your catalog, Wisp’s item’s worth goes up.

As for Label...I never saw her as viable. I also thought the tickets were dumb and you don’t even have to talk to her to have her items show up in the shop the next day. I think it would be great if when you bought all of her items, she decided to join the Able’s sisters in their shop like in NL and then have Gracie show up in her place for the weekly NPC. 

Where is Blanca? Or Brewster? Or Shrunk, Katrina, Gracie, or Kapp’n and his family? I understand we will probably never see characters like Harriet or Pete because they have been replaced by a new system, but what is the excuse for these other characters? I’m hoping they show up in year 2 of NH but...we’ll see.

Villagers

I think having your first villagers living in basic homes is a good idea but one that quickly gets annoying. I found Sherb while villager hunting for the 1st time and have had him ever since, but his house is stuck at basic lazy setup. Instead of me going back and forth on whether or not i should trust somebody enough to hold Sherb, get somebody else out, then get him to move back to my island, You can have it to where you let them leave, then just wait till he comes to the campsite to visit and reinvite him. You get his actual house and he still remembers you. This could also go for you accidentally letting somebody go or letting somebody go then regretting it. Also it’d be fun to see some old villagers again.

I was curious and looked back on past games to see how many new villagers were released each game and NH has been the least amount. NL released 112 new villagers in total while NH has released 8. I’m hoping they might release more down the line but, hella disappointing imo. Along with the Sanrio update and adding those characters to the game, I am more hopeful that they’ll be adding new characters!

Having an “event” of sorts where you visit a villager’s house and they’re looking inside their closet. They look at you in surprise when you walk in and sheepishly explain that they were going through their clothes/items. They then decide to ask you for help since they can’t decide what to get rid of/what to keep and think you have a good eye for that sort of thing. Basically, a way to get rid of any clothes/items your villager somehow received bc I guess Isabelle scolding them isn’t enough.

A big problem I feel like everybody has is the villager dialogue. Yes they added sub personality types for each personality but they are not perfectly cut in half, ex. are the Sisterly types where there are 4 B types and 20 A types, like?? How I have “fixed” this problem is by having one of each personality type on my island so I always have different conversations with my villagers, but I understand not a lot of people do that. Some people just want normal/peppy types on their island bc they’re cute as hell, I get it. I know it would be...difficult to come up with unique dialogue for all 399 villagers, including Sanrio, but....you could at least for the “gimmicky” villagers. Some examples of these villagers are Ribbot and Sprocket, Lucky and Ankha, the super hero squad, and Kabuki. 

Quality Life stuff

Why cant we sit AND wish on stars? And I don’t mean the sit emote; why can’t I sit on a bench and wish on stars?

It sucks when I’m about to hit my rocks or just do a lot of dig work and then my shovel breaks in the middle of it. To show the tool is about to break, cracks should start to form on the handle and get deeper/longer as you keep using it, starting when you have 5 uses left. You can also add an auditory element by making the tool sound like its struggling when you are using it. Net/Shovel/Axe/Fishing Pole can have cracks show up on the handle, Slingshot can have crack show up at the bottom of the 2 spokes while having 1 at the top of the handle. And the watering can have cracks at the base of the can.

If our inventory is full when I dig up a flower, why can’t I replace it with another flower to bury? And if I can dig up an item at an diagonal item, I should be able to bury it again at the same angle.

Other

Having more...liveliness?? on the island, idk how else to say it. Example is whenever you travel by plane there's a chemtrail in the sky afterwards, maybe just seeing other planes go by throughout the day. Maybe you can get a hint Redd or Gulliver will be visiting you tomorrow if you see their boats beyond the horizon, Redd’s just crusin’ and the Gulls’ boats looking messed up. On a week where you don't have a new camper, maybe have an old villager visit. That leads me too

I wish villager’s doors could count as “exterior decorating” and we can just put any ornamental on there instead having to hope that your villager will put the wreath on their own door. 

Conclusion

If you read this whole thing holy shit, thanks!! Go treat yourself on my part lol If you disagreed with me or whatever feel free to chat with me about it! 

[orbees]

i can say after playing acnh for a week it is a fun, yet flawed game. by which i mean there are a lot of very bizarre design choices. in fact id probably consider new leaf to be the ‘better game’, but it is over all a very solid and welcome addition to the animal crossing series

however, to expand a bit on what i mean by flawed choices....

okay so to start, acnh did add a lot of fun new features!!! things i rly love, and appreciate like the ability to send letters to ur friends, the best friend system over all, the new terraforming features, the ability to put furniture outside..... all of these are Really good things that make hte series as a whole, stronger

however how the game is executed OVER ALL is a bit of a different story... pacing is a good place to start. long time animal crossing fans will know that that the series is generally slow paced. you dont get everything instantly. animal crossing is a game about the world unfolding slowly through your efforts, seeing your house and town blossom over time

animal crossing new horizons attempts this but to the extreme. for example: you do not have access to a lot of basic staples. you cant even access your entire island from the beginning. the museum takes several days to unlock, the able sisters even longer. this concept is not new in animal crossing, but in this game it feels really intrusive because even the BASICS are locked away from you. you can feel your progression being ground to a halt by needless wait times if you choose not to time travel

what is intended to be a slow, relaxing experience comes off instead as frustration, especially in combination with the other ways that the game wastes your time. for example: making fish bait. it is such a needlessly slow, excruciating process. you do not have the ability to make batches of items. this may change in the late game, but that concept annoys me as well. you just have to make. every. single. fish bait. one by one. you have to see the crafting animation. you can mash a to speed it up a bit, thankfully, but it still takes an absurd amount of time

once you unlock the resident center, you can also move houses, including other ppls houses. this is such an awesome feature and i am so glad it is in the game!!! but the WAY it is executed irritates me a lot. you have to pay 50k to move someones’ house, and you can only move ONE house per day. that is a ridiculous amount of money!!! and house placement. omg. dont get me started on house placement. 

its so bizarre because they got it down in the interior decorating department. but for some reason they just didnt transfer that to the outside, which makes house placing EXTREMELY annoying because youll notice that you were a couple spaces off, and whoops, that’s another 50k!!!! its like unless you had your town planned perfectly from the start you’re going to be spending a ridiculous amount of time and money moving buildings. it really sucks! i hate that!

the storage system in general is also really bizarre. for example: why isnt there separate storage systems? like for example, having a clothing storage in ur wardrobe, being able to store crafting materials in ur work benches instead of one over all storage system... and dont get me wrong, the addition of a storage system is really nice, but having it be limited in a game that is partially about collecting things has always been really irritating to me

other, minor things include cut content and characters that are gone for mysterious reasons. like is crazy redd even in tihs game at all? collecting gyroids? brewster? the paintings??? the ability to have custom exhibits? all of this gone, its really bizarre. 

that isnt to say i dont like the game, or that i dont appreciate the work that was put into the game. because it is a very solid game, with a lot of solid additions and features! its just these things impact the overall feel of animal crossing for me, and a lot of these things feel like they were put in to pad out the length of the game. which im sure they were in previous AC titles too, but i feel like the Way they were done was much more... hmm.. subtle i guess? added to the over all theme? it just doesnt translate as well in this game

i dont rly have a pretty way to tie this up, and im realizing this post is pretty long so i guess ill just say: over all, acnh is a very fun game and im enjoying it a lot. it adds a lot of highly requested features such as an ability to properly gift your friends, the ability to put furniture outside, and so on. however, a lot of this is impacted by bizarre design choices and pointless waiting times. however this game is getting dlc, so maybe ??? some of these things will be addressed? who knows!

thats basically it, thank you for reading

Desperate For Freedom part1

Summary: In a universe where females are not allowed to remain innocent after their 18th birthday Y/N must hide. But when her cover is blown how will the unforgiving government punish her? None other than gifting her to a God from three worlds away. The god of mischief. He is told to keep and do what he wishes with the lying girl. So that is what he will do. Chained to the inside of an air craft she is brought to him on Asgard. Were her fate will be in a liars hands.

Warnings: Swear words, there will be smut in future chapters, grammar, punctuation and spelling mistakes , Some light physical violence

Note: ⚠️THIS IS 18+ FANFICTION READ WHEN YOU TURN 18 ⚠️

————————————————-

The dinner table was quiet and your parents solemn. Tomorrow you go to the clinic to get the operation to make you a women and available or marriage. Once a member of your society and available for marriage you will be sent away to have children. Only to repeat the system and laws you did not agree with. 

“Mamma cant I-” Your mother, not the one to answer, but your father. His hand made an impact on your right cheek. Your head whipped to the side and your hair fell in your face. The sensation not a new one.

“Mention this again Y/N and you won’t see tomorrow.” His voice commanding and rough. Not the slightest sympathy or remorse for what is going to happen. He was a believer in the government and how they operated. Your mother on the other hand had learned not to voice her opinions that differ from your fathers. You had yet to learn the skill.

“Y/N dear, don’t you want to be married and have a family? Maybe be desired?” She glanced over at your father to make sure it was the right thing to say. He looked pleased enough with her answer. Looking at her the hurt evident on your face. She almost shows emotions not approved by your father. He gives her a flat out deadly look.

“May I go to bed?” Your father nods and you clear your spot at the table practically run up the steps. Your room door missing just like the law states. As a young female you cannot, have a door in your private space, you may not attend a secondary school until you have the operation, you can not celebrate birthdays nor speak of your age to male members of society until you have the operation. You can not date or interact with males. You may not leave your house until 8 AM and you have to be back at 9 PM. You must know the laws before you attend any schooling of any kind. 

Your room contained only a mat made of foams and a insert on your wall that holds your clothing. You go to lay down, but a sudden defiance takes over you. These rules and laws are not for you. The government is a oppressive and strict one. Defiantly not one you support. Without really making the choice you go across the hall and find the glass pain in your parents room. You pick up the metal candle holder and launch it through the glass. You climb over the shards and drop to the cold moss below. The plush moss didn’t help much with the landing. With no time to wait you take off over your barrier that blocks off your property from the neighbors. 

“Y/N!!”

Your mothers voice faded as the smile spread across your face. The need for freedom coursed through you fueling the thought of something you only ever read from stolen books. Entering the waters area, you heard boys talking about it on the walk way before. Girls were not allowed to go. The skimpy clothing might reveal your true age. Only boys and men could go in the cool water. You sat down in the moss legs stretched out chest heaving. The feeling of freedom starting to be realized. You tear off the extra fabric at your legs that always hung loose. Your upper robes covered down to your knees. Ripping the sleeves off you felt like you could breathe better. You stood and started jumping and spun in circles. Celebrating everything you never could before. The date of your birth your newfound freedom and the fact that you could remain innocent forever. You laughed freely laid on the moss. Looking at the sky that held stars as if to light the sky for you and only you. Closing your eyes you fell asleep. 

Cold, wet and happy is what you woke up to. Instead of the midnight sky it was a blinding sun. The moss hugged you and only the sounds of birds and sirens were heard. Wait, sirens? looking up the flashes of yellow and red were seen. Surroding you were men in armor holding spears. Your heart started beating out of your rib cage. You turned to run and was met with a man holding a sword. The dizzy feeling and uneasyness did not go unnoticed.

“NO LET ME GO!!” Your screamed. Another rule broken. No lady was to raise her voice. Arms grabbed you from behind and you thrashed in them another set of arms grabbed your legs. Your parents had sent in the defense team after you. The same team that fought wars and had eaten at Odin’s table. A sharp smack across your face and you saw the same stars as last night expect this time they were falling. 

When you awoke again you had restraints on. Arms behind your back and chains on your ankles. The guards in full uniform holding weapons. Your innocence. Did they take it? As your thoughts started to speed up again the door was opened and minimum of 10 more guards entered the cell. Three without weapons advanced towards you. One grabbed your torso and the other your legs. While the third man unlocked the chain from your ankles. Your body numb as they carried you up stairs and through a door. Inside sat the General of Punishments next to the General of Official's affairs. The room sat publishers who were in charge of spreading official business, like a new war, international affairs and come to think of it treason.

“Y/N Y/L/N is surrendered by the blood parents for treason. Y/N fled from her private area on the grounds of not wanting to give up her innocence. Y/N will be sent to the father realm as a gift to the secondary son of the allfather. As an alternative punishment.” Treason? Asgard? The second child? 

Your home, family and the only place you know is sending you as gift to the god of mischief.   

“Y/N will be property of the secondary child, Loki. He may do whatever he sees fit with her. She will be leaving now.” The three man chained you again with the meatal known as Odin’s truth. It is unbreakable and used on the worst of criminals. You were lifted, you started to kick and fight. Getting in a kick to the man holding your legs he drops them and the man holding your torso looks back and you hit him with your head. His helmet only falling off and causing your head to ache. The man picked up your legs again but firmer this time. It seemed like no time at all before you were strapped in an aircraft between two guards. 

“The flight will be over soon.” The guard on your right spoke. Your body was flung against the back of the seat. Your wrists pinching with the chains on too tight. It seemed to last hours but in reality it was about 30 minutes. 

The guards stood and the aircraft landed. As the door opened more guards were waiting. They had on more official uniforms and better weapons. The guard who was directing the aircraft spoke to an Asgardian defense member. Starting to form a plan of escape when unchained. Your thoughts were interrupted. 

“Yes my lord she is in there.” Heavy footsteps landed on the metal floor stopping in front of you. Not once raising your eyes to see who it was. Your stomach dropped when he was in front of you.

“Unchain her feet she will walk.”  

“My Lord are you-’ 

“Are you questioning me?”

“No-.’ 

“Then unchain the thing.” Thing?! He didn’t even think of you as a life, and you just arrived. The guard undid your legs chains and your belt holding you to the chair. As he grabbed your upper arm to stand you up you kicked him in the knee and ran towards the control panel for the air craft. Your hands still behind your back you started to bend over to press the button that brings the heavy machinery to life but a hand in your hair stopped you. Yanking you back and onto your ass. The twist of your body made your arms throb. The man wearing green black and gold looked down on you.

“As entertaining as that was you will walk pet or you will be dragged.” You roll onto your stomach using your knees to get up. You stand in front of the god and spit in his face. His reaction was not one of anger but something much worse. The grin spread and his voice oozed confidence.

“ Very well we can do it the hard way. I happen to like that way better.” He nodded towards the guard you kneed. “Have her brought to my chambers cleaned and dressed. Her arms will remain chained but her feet will not. Is that understood.” The guard nodded. “Oh and drag her.” You looked at him defiance on your face and a smug grin on his. At least you aren't dead yet. 

~TIME SKIP~

The bed was plush and had silk sheets. The heavy draped were closed and the room lit by candles. The green and black were dominating and had hints of gold within the room. Your arms had been brought in front of you as you were chained to the bed post. A handmaid had washed you in the bath and put on a dress much nicer than anything you have ever owned. Ishbire your realm was not one of riches. Your eyes heavy and your body aching. It had been just you for many hours now no more light was shining under the curtains. When the heavy door swung open you were leaning against the bedpost nearly asleep. His presence took up the room, the looming thought of sleep trying to overtake you. Loki was a god of tricks and lies. He could very well put you under a spell and use you. He could also just as easily kill you.

“Are you sleeping pet?” He peeled off his outer layers. 

“You need to be present for our conversation.” He walked over to you and tapped your face. Opening your eyes he let the evil grin show.

“Sleep.” You murmured. Hoping and praying he would let you doze off into oblivion.

“Only goodgirls get sleep. Which is what I need to talk to you about. From now on you will address me as Sir. You will follow every command I give you if you do not you will be punished, and because you were sent to only because your home did not want you, you will also listen to the handmaids and guards. This is the overview. We will go in depth tomorrow. Understand?” Your eyes shut again and you started to slump. This time a rough slap on your bare thigh woke you up. He had both his hands on you thighs and was leaning so close you could smell him. “DO YOU UNDERSTAND?” Letting put a whine you tried to squirm out of his grip.

“Yes.” you knew without the sir portion of your answer would make him upset. And with that you were issued another slap in the same spot that stung worse. You let out a half cry and tried to bring your legs to your chest. Only resulting in more pressure on them.

 “I asked you a question.” He grabbed your jaw and forced you to look at him. “I expect an answer.” 

“Yes,Sir.” you seethed out. He nodded in appreciation. 

“ You will sleep next to me from now on.” He undid your arm chains and dragged you up the bed. In a sitting postion you sat less than a foot away from were he stood. His hands cold on your bare wrists. “If you try to run I will chain you up for weeks with punishment everyday.” You nodded. His nimble fingers wrapped around your throat, pinning you to the bed. You arched your back and tried to shove him away.

“Words, pet.” You shook your head no. He put slightly more pressure on your throat.

“Yes. Sir.”

Part two commin soon.

1. ok is that clothing customization screen replacing FUCKING RUNNING OUT OF ROOM IN YOUR DRAWERS EVERY 2 DAYS and having to go through moving everything one slot over to put a new pair of pants in it god please

2. the custom pattern on the furniture looks so crisp my god

3. i see you able sisters

4. brick paths... yes... Yes...

5. i cant remember where i saw it, but i seem to remember hearing about like expanding your island/getting to new places on it? are the ramps and such going to unlock new areas? it definitely looks like its not naturally a part of the island, i guess it could just be sort of like the bridges in acnl where it makes navigation easier

6. kiki is wearing GLASSES

ok seriously ive honestly been having mega anxiety about this game, worrying that it will be bad, which would fucking crush me, but every new thing that gets released makes me feel just a little better. i think the only thing that could go wrong would be if i end up REALLY hating the crafting/gathering mechanics or if it turns out super bland in terms of villagers and activities and the like. but it LOOKS gorgeous graphically and some of these hints of features are exciting me A LOT so im a little more confident now... i cant fucking wait for the direct

Demons & Angels » Part 2

A few minutes, well hours, later after I had talked to the agents they were still here waiting for my sister. Awkwardly, we sat staring at each other but never making eye contact. I, not being able to stand the tension, left the main room to the kitchen. I grabbed a few beers assuming that they might want some. I sat back down sitting the beers down on the mahogany table my sister had bought. I felt their eyes on me so I took my gaze from my beer bottle andplaced itonto them, I gave them a questioning look then took a drink of my beer. My phone buzzedon the table and u lunged for it hoping it would be my sister.        "Hello?" I said into the phone laying mylegs of the arm of my chair, sitting sideways now.        "Shes having the baby!" my sister said as I heard the sounds of a hospital.        "Alright, Mia calm down. I will be there in a minute---I just have to take care of somethings first." Clearly they could hear my sister screaming at me through the phone. My sister hung up the phone and so did I.I sat up and looked themin the eyes, "Well--I sort of have to go now but my sister will be there if you wanna come." I offered and smiled to them. "Yeah, lets go." The shorter, better looking, one said as his brother sighed "We would be--" "So? We have to interrogate her sister anyhow." I stood and walked to the door and grabbed my jacket already walking out the door as the two bickered about if they were imposing or not. ~~~~~A Few Hours Later~~~~~ The child of my best friend, Mina, had already been born by the time I had got there. I sighed as I ran in to see the newborn baby twins asleep already. "Damn it!" I whisper yelled trying to not wake Mina and her kids. I went back into the lobby to see the agents already asking my sister questions. She didnt seem so enthused just attracted to the tall one. I smiled slightly and rolled my eyes. But I then realized the short one wasn't with him. I looked around confused, then gave up after Icouldn'tfind him.I knew they weren't real agents, they had the names of band members, coincidence? I think not. I went outside to grab a fresh air, I hated hospitals they were stuffy and the thought of them always creeped me out. I pulled my jacket close to my body as I was met with the cool night air. I breathed out the fresh air and smiled. I loved the cold night air, thestars and the freedom of the outdoors. i never liked being locked up.... I felt someone tap my shoulder, my eyes flashed open as I was prepared to punch whoever touched me in the face. Reflexes suck sometimes. I turned to find that it was just the agent with the green eyes, I didn't fully trust his 'name' so-- "Whats your name?" I asked him as I turned to face him. "I told you" he said as if I should believe his name really is John Boham. "No- Its not John Boham." "It is!" he said in retort and a smile on his face. "Lies" He just sighed in response then spoke, "Here," he held out a coffee to me.  I smiled and thanked him as I took it. "Hope you like black because that's all I could manage." he said as he sipped his as well. "It's fine black is better than none." We then sat in silence, not an awkward 'why am I still here?' silence but a comfortable silence. It felt like hours but was only minutes till Mia came out from the hospital with tears staining her cheeks. She sobbed and ran past me. I gave a confused look as the other agent followed her out with a sad expression. "MIA!" I called out to her but she continued to run faster. I handed my coffee to 'Mr.Boham' and ran after her, my jacket flowing in the wind. "WAIT!" I called to her again as she continued to run. "PLEASE MIA!" I continued to call after her as we ran miles from the hospital. Running out of breathe I slowed and so did she but she was still far ahead of me. "PLEASE!" I called one last time still running with all my might. She turned a corner with no reply back to me. I pushed myself as hard as I could, I miss placed my foot and fell to the ground scrapping my hands and knees. She ran out of my line of sight. "Damn it!" I yelled as I stood up blood dripping down my legs and from my hands. I reached into my pocket to get my phone but it had fallen out. "Great" I said sarcastically as it then began to rain. "REALLY?!" I called out as I looked up at the sky and sighed. I wrapped my jacket around myself and began to walk home, with one question on my mind; 'What's wrong?' ~~~The Next Day~~~ I woke up the next day on my couch surrounded in journals, books and beers. Confusion spread across my face as I sat up, I then remembered. I was looking into any cases in the area and I happened to find a witch case. I sighed as I went to look for my cell as I then remembered I had lost it the night before. I again sighed and stood from my spot on the couch deciding to clean up. I cant let my sister know I'm a hunter or else she would want to join in the cause. After an hour of vigorous cleaning I heard my house phone ring, which is weird because I dont have a house phone. I timidly walked over to the phone and answered it with silence. All I heard was static on the other end. I set the phone back down and immediately went upstairs and covered my bathroom door and window with salt just to be sure, I also grabbed my pistol. For safety..... I also grabbed clothes so I could get dressed and take a shower. I turned on the shower and waited for it to heat up. I then stepped into the shower. Humming Warrant's Cherry Pie I washed my hair,when all of a sudden the water was freezing. "AH!" I yelped and jumped at the sudden coldness. "Jesus Christ!" I yelled as I shivered slightly, I still had shampoo in my hair therefore I had to endure the freezing cold water. I jumped out of the shower as fast as I could. I grabbed my towel and dried my self off after the 'quick' 30 minute shower which included all of the shit I had to do in that shower. I then put on a cute outfit (www.polyvore.com/demons_angels/se... ). I looked into the mirror and put my hair up into a messy bun then grabbed my pistol and tucked it into the waist band of my pants. I opened the door and walked down and out of the house to my car. I drove to the local 'hippie', as most people called it, store. I walked in and looked around to see, crystals, tarrot cards, witch stones, shaman balls, dream catchers, fairy wands, and many more witch craft things along with hippie clothes. I can't deny that I use to be a witch when I was a teenager, it'sin my families blood I couldn't help it. I left that behind though being a blood born witch was more complicated then being a hunter so thats what I became but enough about me back to the case at hand. I smiled as I causally looked around, looking at everyone there until the shop owner walked in. I walked over to the shop owner and smiled at him.        "Hi, names Amy," I held out my hand to him,"I was wondering if you had a hand of glory." I asked as my expression turned serious. He just stared down at me with shock in his eyes.        "Y-yes we do, w-why?" he stuttered over his words, shocked that a girl like my I guess would be asking that. I just laughed and smiled at him, "Im kidding I'm here for the fairy wand." I lied, the witches I was hunting had used a hand of glory. If you dont know what a hand of glory is its a hand, which is a given but the hand is a hand that was taken off a murderer that was in the gallows,, it was then pickled and dried. If you use a candle with this hand that was made fro the fat of a murderer it will make people unable to move and unlock any door. Pretty creepy but awesome to use to get whatever you want or to just escape but very hard to make. Why would this wiccan, good good witches, shop have one of those? He just smiled and handed me the wand and told me I could have it for free since it was his day off and he was feeling nice.Again I smiled then left. I looked across the way to see a man, not any normal man he gave off a vibe that didn't seem right. He looked over to me and that's when I realized he was the man that had been following my family and I for our entire lives. I glared at him, but he just smirked and vanished as a person fell to the ground lifeless.
