The Sith storylines in SW:TOR are just too much fun for everything. XD
None too sure about the end of this chapter. Things are a bit rocky right now. We’ll see how everything pans out at the end of it all.
Chapter 7: How Long Continue reading
This one’s messy and didn’t come out right at all, and I’m too tired to make it work right now. At least I made it through. It was a bit sticky. Also I’m too distracted by my Sith lady.
I made yellow belt in karate yesterday! : D
This chapter’s suddenly slightly longer. Guess why! (hint: fluffy fluff)
Also, I’m at the half-way point! Cool! Gonna write another chapter tonight, why not!
Playing a little fast and loose with the Laws of Removing Bullets (sorry for TVTropes).
Have to thank two friends for help with this chapter: Elwin for some legalese, and Yllamse for letting me know that Zev’s “mi amor” is more casual for Spanish speakers than it seems. (I still don’t know why Zev is Spanish when he’s from fantasy-Italy, but hey, why not, they’re both sexy.)
Originally this would have been the first instance/use of On Every Street in the story, but then it turned out that Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 were stupidly short, so I combined them because the only reason I split them up in the first place was song lyrics. And I had thought I’d have more to say about it by now.
Dang, how is Mark Knopfler so good at music?
Karate is really kicking my butt this week – in a good way. Shredded my abs because sensei decided to do some High Intensity Training yesterday. I’ll be yellow belt on Monday probably! This has nothing to do with noir crime and trench-coated and fedora’d detectives, I’m just excited about it.
All right let’s launch this ridiculous idea! Dragon Age as a 40’s noir murder mystery! Huzzah for NaNoWriMo! I watched the Maltese Falcon as reference for this. Chapters are quite a bit shorter than they usually are but that just means I’ll be done sooner? And if you’re a classic rock fan, you’ve already recognized the title and chapter titles. Those were what gave me the inspiration for this in the first place! Continue reading
Chapter themes! Against the Black Knight for the fight with Sion! Knights of Sidonia for the fight with Kreia! And finally, your closing credits song, a return to GitS: Living Within the Shell! Also, teasing the Sion shippers whoo! lol
It does get a little bit awkwardly religious in tone near the end. Dang Jedi and their mystical Force. Atton’s totally right about them.
For the record I think Mical/Brianna is a decent pairing. >.>
Part 14: Will of the Force
She blocked Sion’s lightsaber with her own, barely, sparks flying. He had weight and reach on her, and she was tired, exhausted after fighting through dozens of Sith and saving Atton’s life.
But she had saved it, had saved him, the one she loved most of all, and she had the first inkling of proof that the Light could be used for as great, impossible deeds as the Dark. Nihilus stole lives through the Force, and both Sith and Jedi used the Force to speed their natural healing processes, but this was the first time she’d seen someone brought back from so-near death with the Force alone. Continue reading
And there is ONE MORE CHAPTER after this! The final showdown! And I’ve neglected so many chores trying to get this done this weekend! I would like to be done already please! D:
Chapter theme song is Levi vs. Female Titan, for the Atton-space/Selyn-Nihilus battle.
I read on the internet that Bao-Dur is supposed to die helping HK get to or from the secret droid factory on Telos? I almost considered doing that, but I decided in the end to do it the way I’ve imagined it for a long time. I also nabbed some Cut Content dialogue from a thing that shouldn’t happen to Atton except under certain circumstances which I forget what they are but I’m pretty sure would not be completionist LSF, but it was just too dramatic to pass up. XD
Part 13: Malachor V
The Ravager lay dead ahead of Citadel Station, grinning like a jawless skull as it majestically closed to attack. Its fighter and light ship escort buzzed alongside it like carrion; a crude, obvious metaphor, but impossible to deny. The Republic fleet had just dropped out of hyperspace and was closing with them, already firing on them and taking fire in return.
It hadn’t always been the Ravager. Once it had been the Regent, one of the proudest ships in the Republic fleet – and a ship that she had sent to its death on Malachor. Commander Helvotha had captained it, with Jedi Knight Yserys, when her former captain had committed suicide rather than fight the Mandalorians anymore. Continue reading
