Entry 16

Alright! Two things to talk about on Antilia: Pet Koura and Kickstarter Budget.

Let's start with the Pet Koura that looks like a giant butterfly the size of your head! May be annoying to have that hovering in your face buzzing away, buzzzzzzzzzzzz buzzzzzzzzzzzzz buzzzzzzzz. Probably need a giant fly swatter to attack the non-pet koura fly. Although I'm sure some either wouldn't mind or may have a cooking disaster, granted they were using giant cooking utensils. Hope some enjoy eating bug muffins! They're crunchy filled! Or can use them as darts for sport.

Kickstarter Budget, it took them a few months to get all their calculations down for this. $110,000 is the main goal, another $10,000 including the fees. Some of us may have thought it would be between $50,000 to 100,000 or less, but my heart sorta sank when I saw that. I WILL be donating money to the kickstarter, how much and how often I'm not sure, depends how long the kickstarter will be. I am looking forward to the stretch goals, hoping nothing that'll unbalance the game to a few player's favor, unless it's content that'll be available to the public in the future or content that doesn't affect gameplay what so ever, then I'll be somewhat fine with it, it depends.

Also, one last thing. Tettix's Puzzle. I've pretty much given up on it, I tried re-reading all that was said in the thread but nothing really helps me to figure it out, basically not ground to start on. A few have figured it out on record. The hints that were given only made it more cryptic for me. It's liking studying college courses, my brain doesn't like that for more than 5 minutes. It only enrages me basically... which reminds me I need to buy a new scratching post, I gotten a tad bit carried away with it to get my anger out... didn't think it was very flammable either. I'll just leave these "script/writing" puzzles to others. I'm not much of a words guy in terms of puzzles, except word search and fill-in. More of a number and logic guy, usually the former though. I like math so much.

In terms of life, Saturday I was on my feet for 4.5 hours, from 8am, cleaning thousands of square feet of carpet in a double wing, double floor, business building. My feet were screaming at me by the end of the job, and my thighs are currently groaning in agony every time I get up. Needless to say, huge payment that day for me. Worth it? Let me ask my feet... they say no and demand a rub.

Entry 14

The new job I have has been rather stressful to my body physically. It feels good to come home and get something to eat, drink, and listen to good music to sleep to.

Listening to a Imagine Dragon cover of Radioactive by Lindsey Stirling and Pentatonix as I start to take a nap, had bit of a music video going in my head that takes place in Kasau. I'm not very good at describing so I'll do the best I can. Sorta based on the Antilia Lore yet I could be "inaccurating" a bit.

Basically, the survivors of the shipwreck wake up on a rocky coast, some in shock, some slowly gaining conscious, others coughing and breathing for air. As they try to get their bearings, they noticed the ship wreck in the middle of Gajoi's Teeth. Supply crates and barrels are floating and washed up on the shore line. Some of the survivors go to fetch them, while others look around and figure out where they are. Sadly, no weapons were salvaged.

A scout party is made to find a good place to camp. They come back to announce a good spot in the Northern Grasslands. Everyone gets something to carry and heads out.

Time has past and the camp is nearly done. Taipii were scoured around to find any resources they can use. One found cactus fruit and several Jidou around the southern meadow, another found a good forest to make lumber in the north, the third head into the cave, but never returned. A small rescue party was made, with what tools they have for weapons. As the party walks inside the cave, few holding a torch borrowed from a campfire, the missing Taipii is found terrified against the wall. Before the Taipii could say anything, Iichii start to swarm and surround everyone. From the ceiling, to the walls. The party manages to fight off the horde and quickly escape.

Back at the camp, the scout mentioned he found ores inside the cave, from copper to iron, including silver and gold but very little he could find before he got attacked. The Taipii enter the cave in large groups, mostly of miners, few of them guards with torches to fend off the Iichii. They eventually have enough metal to make weapons, and thanks to the lumber they can make not only swords but pole-arms and spears too.

A Taipii is seen sitting on a beach coast, at night, looking off in the horizon, wondering if they'll ever go back home. Another of the opposite gender sits with the other and comforts. Few more join in and stare off into the horizon, looking at the lone island there. Suddenly, without warning, a giant Iichii attacks the camp. Everyone in the camp bares arms and battles the Iichii together.

Sunrise, the camp is damaged, but the Taipii are victorious, sending a message to the Iichii they will not give in and fight their way out of Kasau, and hope to the God-Twins they return home to Antilia.
