Was expecting nightmares last night after our 2nd bout of HolidayStar...

SIDE NOTE: Stupid @#)*%!ing letter.

I dreamt I was back at college, but now in a significantly larger facility (which, for some reason, had an orange paint job in most of the sections by the main entrance, and, for some other, equally inexplicable reason, was located in Texas).

That wasn't the scary part. :b

The scary part was when I went to my first class...I accidentally went into the classroom next to the one I was supposed to go to, which apparently a lot of rumors had been spread about. You know, hauntings, psychotic teacher, that kind of thing. Turns out the rumors had justification; the instructor in that classroom had somehow turned himself invisible, and was completely obsessed with teaching someone about how he'd done it. I mean, to the point of putting me at knife-point for trying to leave. A knee to the estimated location of his gut (think I hit a little low) gave me enough time to get out...apparently this guy's just as obsessed about staying in his classroom (in case someone else comes in for a lesson?) as he is about keeping other people in there...

Or so I'd been led to believe. A little while later, while I was contacting a faculty member, who turned out (for some reason) to be my high school choir director, about this nutjob, his classroom door bursts open, a knife comes flying through the air with unseen footsteps below it, and WHAM, the sunuvabitch stabs her!

...That's the end of the scary part. After that I wound up going somewhat lucid to the dream, grabbed where I figured his shirt collar to be, and threw him over the ledge.

Oh, did I mention this facility was built like a tower, with everything around the outer edge, and that we were on the 37th floor? Yeah, buh-bye Mr. Invisible Nutjob Guy.


So yeah, in conclusion, my nightmares can apparently be triggered by really stupid things.

Something I whipped up earlier.

This was inspired in the middle of a conversation with kjorteo, and I figured it was amusing enough to share with the rest of the group in a way they don't have to go hunting through a whole thread for!



Fun fact: I had to put all of the text in there manually; the only reference image I could find was from the Japanese game.

I should really stop looking stuff like this up.

Okay, so for years now I've understood the concept of the "Ozzie Pants" from Chrono Trigger; they're a set of briefs (as in underwear) you can steal from Ozzie in the final battle with him, Flea, and Slash, and can then equip to your head...no wonder they cause the Confuse status.

What I never quite fully understood, however, the concept of another item you could steal in that fight (and in a prior fight in the same dungeon), the Flea Vest.


I now have a clear understanding of it, and, to a degree, regret ever looking it up. Apparently the actual name for it, as retranslated in the DS version, is the Flea Bustier, and is, basically, what Flea wears to appear to have boobs.

In consolation, though, the mental image of Ayla reaching down Flea's top to swipe it mid-battle quite hilarious...though now I find myself a bit confused by the fact that everyone in your party can equip it.

...

...

Now I kinda want to see an image of Crono with all 3 of the items you can swipe in that fight equipped. (He's the only one who can equip the Slasher2, so he's the only one who can do it.)

CRAP!!

Something had been bugging me ever since I made that mock-up of the "Game Over" screen from the first game, and it made me realize something: that's one scene from the first Hatoful Boyfriend game that we all know is there, and yet never did a voice-over for! D:
