Mako Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 Ahh, sounds peaceful. Been many years since I ventured into the wilds of cornwall! How's everyone this evening? I'm still doped out of my mind on resin fumes, had to pour a second layer today... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Not bad, got a bit of writing done tonight as well as more sculpting, so I can't complain. How bout you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Not bad. Got to check out SCA today, which was fun. Gonna try the practical test next week (helmet on head, get smacked three times, see if I want to continue after that). ---------- Post added at 11:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 PM ---------- And you got writing and sculpting done? Awesome! Working on the Breach Runners, or trying to guess ahead on the Quill? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Sounds like an initiation rite! I now get to show my ignorance, what's SCA? I went 6mm for a bit, trying to get some press moulds sorted for things I'll need lots of, like saddles. And wrote a short piece of fiction for it too. Less than 2000 words, but it got me back at the keyboard at least! Really should get back to the breach runners, I know what's coming next but making it happen naturally was really proving a pain.

edonil Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Society for Creative Anachronism. I'm giving the heavy fighting a shot, which is basically getting into armor and inviting people to smack me around with rattan clubs as I try to 'kill' them first. The helmet bit is just a test of 'are you sure you want to do this, because this kind of stuff will happen'. Gonna post the story up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Ahh, epic. Always good to hit them before they hit you. But I guess it's pretty much a certainty that eventually someone will ding you round the head! Not sure I'll post it, until I get it all together I'm keeping it quite close to my chest. That way I can tweak and mess with all of it and not worry about embarrassing myself! Although I did just finish a scene in breach runners, that puts me to the next section where a lot of expositional and conversational stuff happens. And I think I'll try to introduce the female side character, which will be a new challenge for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Exposition and dialogue...my two worst foes. You have my sympathies Mako, lol. Still, sounds like fun! Good to see Sophie is branching a little for ya. So, any interesting projects at work this week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Nöthing much going on at work really, got to order in some new stuff and repeat Fridays test. Other than that, don't actually have a plan for the week, I'm still stuck trying to make stuff happen! Oh, and I have to have a fairly tricky conversation about who has rights on what work, since if I'm not careful everything I do this year will end up added into someone's thesis. Which will be fine for them, but make me look like I did nothing all year and bugger my career up a bit! But equally, I can't stop them putting anything in, or that'll damage their thesis... A delicate thing of saying 'this much is yours, and then I'm the lead on it' without staring trouble. Sophie is being quite pliant today, it might be the resin fumes or she may just be being helpful. Which would be worrying, although she does seem to respond well to green tea and classical string music (chinese classical today, wierdly). She's an odd chick, my muse. I don't think the poor girl's entirely sane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Are any muses sane? Chinese classical music? Got any examples to share? And good luck with that conversation. When's it going to happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Oh, I'll probably be a clever bugger about it tomorrow, and lay out the basic groundwork for it, so its at least clear there is a line and it isnt moveable, Then kind of deal with it as and when stuff comes up. I think the girl playing the instrument was called yu hong Mei, I have no idea why but I sculpt easier with that stuff playing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 I hate the internet at work...decided to just cut out for a few hours. Weird...oh well. Got work done, got a little more writing done, and now that I'm back online, spending a little time looking up some of the SCA stuff I was told about. Monkey! I see you on here...how's it going, my friend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 I am ok, thanks for asking. Tired from actually going to work.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 How was work today? And feeling any better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Feeling better but still not fully right .... Work was exhausting, between catching up and telling off one of the other workers I felt tired. How is yours going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Work isn't going too bad. Things are sorta normal...ish. lol. At the very least, I'm not being super bored by it. Things are, for the most part, cooperating. Sorry to hear work was exhausting, that's never fun. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 I think it is more the fact that I am still run down.... oh well got to carry on. Been pretty quiet around here .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Yeah, definitely a quiet night. I think Mako finally managed to get to bed at a decent hour, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Yeah .... must be a first .... Had a flick through book four last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 Yeah, I got to look through it quickly on Saturday. Loving the new stuff, although I haven't gotten to read any of the fluff. Definitely glad I picked up all the Misaki stuff, although I think Mei Fang won't be a great box to use for a bit. I don't own any Constructs that aren't Frozen Heart and she can't use those, lol. ---------- Post added at 03:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 AM ---------- Except the Mannequins and the Coryphee...I keep forgetting about those. >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 The railworkers count as constructs though, good enough for me Pretty much figured out my purchases for the year from it already.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Monkey Posted August 27, 2012 Report Share Posted August 27, 2012 They sure do .... figure the box set and a couple of union miners should be a good little 35 Stone crew..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
