| Dragons are very territorial creatures. The presence of anything new and strange on familiar ground sends them into fits of paranoia and temper tantrums. They tend to turn grouchy and lash out at anything that moves for the sheer wish to keep their territory theirs and theirs alone. Sometimes, you'd just wish they'd peed in key locations and left it at that.
But why are they so territorial?
It's called... The Hoard.
The hoard (Don't look at me like that. I don't play WoW.) is a collection of baubles which the dragon in question has gathered over the years. These can be precious swords, gems, coins, gold, silver or practically anything that glitters. Often, a dragon will treasure one particular piece from its hoard and protect it from outsiders with its life.
It is never wise to steal from a dragon. When a dragon has been stolen from, it will do anything and everything within its power to get said treasure back. This may start with chasing after the thief to battling it to threatening to eat it alive. The thief in question may escape with the shiny object but rest assured, the dragon is still watching and waiting for the perfect chance to snatch its treasure back.
It is said that anyone who steals from a dragon will be forever cursed until the piece of treasure is returned. There is no compensation for the lost item. You either return it or pay for it with your life.
In other related materials, most Infernal dragons (hell dragons) have an inborn hate for angels. Well, I dunno about the hate. Some of the more mature ones are rather distrustful and wary of them. I suppose this stems from the fact that their ancients don't really have a good rap sheet with them. At any rate, an Infernal dragon will rip an angel to shreds when faced with one. Payback for what they did to their ancestors. An angel wouldn't last two seconds looking at an Infernal. There will be roaring and gnashing of teeth.
Angels and dragons do not mix. The other breeds may be cool with them but not the Infernals.

In IRL news...
-Holyshit Black Bat Vanilla Mint. <3 *wants an entire box*
I went to take a walk around the area today and ended up in Harrison Plaza. That's where I found the Black Bat. Bought a couple of sticks as well as some DJ Mix and a Pink Devil. I'm curious about the rose flavored cigs. o_o
Anyway. After that, I walked a little more and found myself at the zoo. Yes, Manila Zoo. Since the entrance fee was only 20php, I decided to go and kill some time there. Hay kababawan. I was blissfully happy. XD Fosirius.
The elephant seemed ok.... and I wasted a lot of time watching the peacocks...
But I found myself feeling kinda sorry for the ostrich. It was really old and it's feathers were in really bad shape. It very nearly looked like a large balding turkey. We had a moment together when it sat down near the fence and watched me while I crouched down and watched it.
The hippo was cute. It was all fat and lumpy.
The gator and I had a moment, too. Reptile to reptile. He was lazing in the water with his mouth open. I was hanging around the wall near his pen. He suddenly moves to adjust his position to look at me. I look back. We remain like this for several minutes until I declare I was getting tired.
A cat darted across the llama pen. It seemed REALLY scared.
I saw a monkey whack off in public.
The tiger was asleep.
I couldn't find the lion.
Crocs and gators are lazy. Cute... but lazy.
DUCKS!
POT BELLIED PIG!
I had something in my head going "Omnomnomnom" when I saw rabbits and guinea pigs.
And thus my trip to the zoo.
Someday, I shall take Shakti there too! :D | Chronicles:2 mortals dare to brave the wind   |
| To those who don't understand, please ignore. Senseless rambling.
FOR WHOEVER CAN RELATE, PLEASE LOOK! /desperately trying to reach
Tentaive title: Natur-Leute (Nature People in German.)
So this is probably in the same universe as the Ancient God thing. It has slightly the same idea... except it uses mythical creatures.
Imagine not only the gods being real and present in the present world but nymphs, demons, elementals and the like and they're all around us. Some people can see them, some people can't. Some of them choose to appear as a normal human and disguise whatever sets them apart, like tails and ears and such.
The characters... are the kids.
I want a place for Yuki, Aki, Marduk, Ayumi, Rinku and Furian and Yuurin. I can already imagine the scenario the twins have! Same with Haru.
I wish I knew what sort of creature Yuki was if he is a sort of creature... I want him in both this and War Chronicle.
I'm not really sure but Haru is an incubus posing as a human. He covers up his ears in the hood of his shirt or under a cap. As for his tail, I think he tucks it in his pants.
He gave a big smile because he knew mama would look! He wanted his mama to see him smiling.
I think I'll be working very closely with Haru, Natsu, Kali and Myse for this idea!
Natsu's a water nymph. She likes wandering around invisible but she enjoys the rain so much that she becomes visible to mortals to enjoy it better. I think that's her story. She gets mistaken for some sort of ghost. *nodnod*
Kali and Myse seem to be paranormal investigators. I see him poking his nose around some of the stories. One of them's secretly a half demon. I think it's Kali.
I'll be working very closely with the kids for this one... I'd like to think of it as a family project! The kids wanna work hard for mama!
*runs off to sketch Kali* | | Chronicles:brave the wind |

Ask Shakti about this one. My answer is AND ALWAYS WILL BE...
"Am I in trouble?"
I dunno. Call it paranoia or something but that's my usual answer to this question. It's come up with very funny situations once before.
"I need to talk to you."
"Am I in trouble...?"
"... *facepalm in FX*"
8D Hey Shakti, remember this one?
Ah... good times, good times...
...or not. D: | | Chronicles:brave the wind |
| Hey K,
How've you been? How's life? Seems you're doing ok. It's been what, five, six years since we last spoke and I guess I can only watch from a distance as we both grow. I think I'm nearly your equal now. At least I think so. You've come a long way. Hell, we both have, haven't we? From retarded fan characters to original work, we've done some pushing, pulling, tweaking and shoving to get our studios up and running.
I wish I wasn't so jealous and gullible then. I dunno if you'd believe me but... it's all A's fault. She was the one who told me things about you that made me hate you. I bet she told you things about me, too. I wish I wasn't so gullible to believe her and instead trusted what I knew about you. I wish I was a better friend. I wish for a lot of things, really. I wish somehow you'd get this letter. You said you were jealous of the way I thought, the way I came up with concepts. I never got to tell you why I envied you.
I was jealous of the support your family gave you. I didn't have a sister to help me learn how to draw and I didn't have parents who would pat me on the back when I drew something nice. It was all me. I wished that just for one day, I could have what you had.
I wished I could be loved too.
And you did it so easily.
I look at your stuff every now and then like some silent sentinel or something like that. I can see you have gone a long way. Your style's better now and your colors are smoother. I wish I could talk to you again. Fat chance of you listening to me though. I tried, remember? I really did. Twice.
But I guess I caused more damage than I thought.
It's all her fault... and half mine for being gullible.
Those memories are still burned in me, you know. I can recall them clearly. Every word. I can stand in that same spot in the driveway of ICA and look at the place you were at. I could stand underneath that tree and look for an ant nest to drown all over again.
I could walk down the street to the house where we first met.
I can do it all. I still remember everything.
What I want more than anything is to be happy that you're coming back to Manila. Right now, I feel nothing but regret when I read about it. Regret and a little hope that J calls me and goes "K's coming back to Manila and we're gonna meet!".
Then I'd go "Can I come? I wanna see her too."
Because I do. I wish I could see you just one time and explain, apologize and make amends in person. Notes can be ignored, comments can be deleted but when you're face to face, there's no choice but to sit and listen.
That would be nice. A private little corner of a coffee shop somewhere where we can talk. Just you and me. Starbucks. My treat.
If I knew where you were, I'd send you something. Something you'd like, something you know came from me.
I guess I keep doing this because I want some closure.
Huh... Found you on LJ. Whadaya know. You're friends with the other her.
She's a different story altogether. Won't mix that with this. That has closure. You don't.
I guess S got to you first and you probably heard about our fight. Fat chance of me getting the closure I need now, huh? I suppose the only way I'd be able to get the closure I need is by seeing you by chance.
Hopefully, you'll forgive me then if I explained myself.
I really hate myself for being gullible and stupid then. If I wasn't... we'd probably be talking. A lot.
Seriously... You are the biggest mistake I've ever made in my entire life.
Hoping for some closure,
S.S.
I'm leaving this on public... Just in case fate should let you chance upon it. | | Chronicles:3 mortals dare to brave the wind |
| Ok.... so I went off to Rob after class. I thought I'd be missing major lulz because I was late. Got to Rob at around 2:30+

| Tokyo Game Show's coming up and that means new games to be unveiled! So far, I don't have all the dirt on it yet but I DO have a list from IGN on the playable releases and videos for DS related games.
Here's a look at what will be playable:
-Snoopy DS
-Chocobo Mysterious Dungeon DS+
-Valkyrie Profile DS
-Kingdom Heart 358/2 Days (Weird. I'm actually looking forward to this. And I HATE KH.)
-Final Fantasy IV the After
Video only:
-Chrono Trigger
-Dragon Quest XIII
Also, there's something coming in called Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children Complete. If this is some sort of shit sequel again, I swear. Heads will roll. But before I start muttering under my breath on how Squeenix should stop making pointless FF7 sequels, here's a list of future releases I'm going to keep an eye on.
( Cut for length )
I have two Japanese titles up there and I'm willing to slog through the hiragana and katakana just to give you guys a review when it comes out!
That. Is all. :D | | Chronicles:8 mortals dare to brave the wind |

Open to: All, detailed results viewable to: AllHow should I overspend during my last school day of the term?
So... I can't have that tasty Japanese dinner I thought I'd give myself because the hooman cut my allowance this week to only a hundred. I can't go to the mall because what the HELL am I gonna do there?! No moneyz. My options are thus... and all RO related.
What do you all think?
Yes, I still want my RO back. TT
I have the free server currently on download (Flashget) but it'll take at least 20+ hours to complete.

There we go. I think I've managed an introductory lesson quite nicely. I think. O_o
And back to my entire afternoon of doing nothing. 8D
In other news: If I have any friends living in Pasig, there's an earthquake due. They say it's going to reach a 9 so... I hope you all stay safe. However, I do wish for the house of a certain skank who lives along the fault line to just crumble, thus rendering her homeless for quite some time. :D
I'm sorry. I shall stop being horrible now. X3 | | Chronicles:brave the wind |
| WHAT THE HELL IS THIS BULLSHITTERY?!
It is currently against international law to coerce people to register their work for copyright because there are so many inherent problems with it. But because big business can push through laws in the United States, our country is about to break with the rest of the world, again, and take your rights away.
With the tens of millions of photos and pieces of artwork created each year, the bounty for forcing everyone to pay a registration fee would be enormous. We lose our rights and our creations, and someone else makes money at our expense.
This includes every sketch, painting, photo, sculpture, drawing, video, song and every other type of creative endeavor. All of it is at risk!
If the Orphan Works legislation passes, you and I and all creatives will lose virtually all the rights to not only our future work but to everything we've created over the past 34 years, unless we register it with the new, untested and privately run (by the friends and cronies of the U.S. government) registries. Even then, there is no guarantee that someone wishing to steal your personal creations won't successfully call your work an orphan work, and then legally use it for free.
The hell is this?! What the hell do you guys think you're doing? If this law gets passed, there's a big chance that anyone can pick up your drawing and use it as their own! The poem you made last week? Grabbed. In short, you lose all rights you have to whatever you created unless you register your work and that means ALL OF IT. Every single photograph, drawing, story, poem and what have you. It's like how when you have a child, you can call it yours because you gave birth to it. If this law passes, you will end up having to pay hundreds of dollars just to have the child use your last name or someone can pick them up and call him THEIR child.
To everyone on my flist I know who draws, writes, creates, take your time to read this article. Those in America, I BEG you to please do something about it. Email a senator. I'd do it but... I don't know if they'll listen to someone who lives out of their country. To the ones who aren't... Crosspost this! Post it on messageboards, your own journals, RP journals, EVERYWHERE. Pass the word! We can't let this happen.
Read the entire article here.

x-posted all over the place. Please post as well to others if you wish to help me.
( Cut for LARGE modem killing picture )
This is a warning. A friend of mine had noticed Inami still using the name Leaureaux on her character, Reni. As some of my watchers know, Leaureaux is a name of MY creation. In that reality's language, this is what it means:
Lau - Laurel
Rux - Born of
This is a name that is VERY important to my stories and the realities it has. My OC side bears that name. Several of my OCs bear the name as well. In one reality, Mahou Gakuen Academe Arcanum, the Leaureaux were the founders of the town the story is set in. For GodHunt and others, Skye Fiinix, one of my top OCs is labeled as the protector of the Leaureaux clan.
And now here we have Inami who has severed all ties with me and wanting nothing to do with me keeping a name that is STILL very important to me. All we want is for her to give me back the name and not use it for publication. If she does, to at least give me credit for creation of that name.
Sure, Reni had the name for a short while but this was when she and I were still roleplaying. I had agreed to lend Reni the name but when all ties were cut, I, in a sign of respect gave back the name Sayde and never used it with any character I had that was once connected with her Sora. She refuses to give me the same respect.
As you can see from the screencap above, she DOES admit the name is mine. Many people from various places where I use the name Ragingchaosgod do refer to me as RCG and this is what Arsen has chosen to call me.
All I ask is for the name to be returned as rightful intellectual property of yours truly. I wouldn't be making such a fuss if it was a common name but this is something unique to me. A bunch of letters I mashed together in my head which sounded right as a name and have been using as part of my pen name ever since highschool which was well over 6 years ago.
Proof of my using the name can be found here:
