I just killed a massive black widow in my mom's garage and I feel like I deserve at least 10000000 xp for general badassery.
As a bonus, I managed to NOT damage the wiring controlling the garage door while incinerating the webs and egg sacs.
Seriously, though... remember Whodini? "Think you're Billy Dee / But you're more like Alfalfa"?
What's been stuck in my head for the last half hour is "Think you're El Chapo / But you're more like Sam Gamgee".

We also have art fair this week. Like most townies, I avoid like the plague. Predictably the weather this week is ungodly hot and intermittent rain. So yeah, no thanks. Crowds, heat, and walking: all the no. :P
wha? Only new yorkers ignore the things that make their area great as a sign of pride!
Seriously the city's greatest comic book store and rpg shop used to be on the same street with the empire state building. Didnt find that out for years upon years because we didnt bother looking up.

Yeppers. A2 has a lot of the same kind of energy as a larger city, but also all the trees! ( no, really, the last time I went on the Ferris wheel at the carnival I was struck by the way the town just disappears and looks like a forest from above) I love the balance of it, having all the cool stuff around, but also nature.

I thought "f&++ the world" was the older and therefore more correct version.

I've never heard this definition before today. As cap said, I imagine it has to do with disparate upbringing; I first saw FTW online among gaming and geekery communities well before such things were exclusively dominated by toxicity so I imagine the definition I'm used to would be far more common in those places at the time.

Back from another L5R session.
Two (out of three) shugenja went on the last session to visit Asahina monastery on the other side of the city only to learn all the Asahina were murdered by a ninja that was trying to blame Scorpions (that's us, we are all Scorpions, though one of us is an actual kitsune serving Scorpions for generations).
Both of them suffered wounds but managed to defeat the ninja and found a strange amulet on her.
Then my half-sister (who has problems with accepting my character and has issues with trusting me) stumbled onto a servant murdering a samurai (during a... rather personal moment between the two) - she incapacitated the murderer and then I came along and was asked by her to help deal with problem - so I promptly climbed down the window to capture the murderer's accompliance that we heard down there. She clearly murdered a minor Crane notable to steal his seal so the rebels could forge papers that would let them smuggle their people inside and open gates.
Lets say that my climbing took some time as the GM jumped to other players who learned some things, fled the murder scene, learned some more things.
Finally, I reached the ground level, sneaked on the rebel monk of Bishamon (who stand behind the rebellion against the unjust rule of the castellan, exacerbated by sudden and intense heat wave over the last weeks, though someone else aids them furthering their own goals).
My first slash mauled his face in an ironic echo of my own recent wound. The second strike put him down incapacitated. That piece of rebellious scum, with the rest of his strength managed to break my sword (damned kiho!), which generated enough stress to send me into rage where I proceeded to execute him with the shattered sword and cut off his ugly head.
So what next I did, covered in my victim's blood, down the walls of the castle?
I promptly took the head (knife through the ear as is proper to carry severed head) and marched to the gates where I announced myself and asked to see the commander of the guards and notified him of the rebel provocateur and the murder that happened upstairs. Confused Cranes complied and arrived to our rooms where the tied murderer was moved in mean time. After some social maneuvering Bayushi took most of the Cranes to the murder scene while us Scorpions quickly interrogated the murderer. She was more than willing to tell us everything under the condition of giving her quick death instead of letting her get in the hands of the local Cranes. We learned how did the greed and cruelty of castellan and his men drove the servant to willingly help the rebels. I complied with her request by providing her with a quick working poison though I threatened her to swallow it only away from our quarters so the Cranes could not blame us directly by telling her that I can stop the poison from working if she uses it too early.
She proceeded to poison herself while the Cranes were taking her away and we returned to make plans for the future.
We were interrupted by a Crane that invited me to the castellan and our kitsune (whose human guise is a trusted advisor and an envoy of our daimyo) weaseled oneself to join me. The castellan graciously thanked me for interrupting the rebel and in a gesture of generosity gifted me a kakita blade (a blade of superb quality) to replace the sword I lost. The kitsune managed to get a precious scroll as a sort of bribe - the castellan, a very wealthy and politically powerful samurai but of poor reputation due to his Yasuki heritage and blatant participation in trade seeks to improve his standing and decided that marrying my half-sister would help him achieve that goal.
We rejoined the group later and after some discussion and disagreement we planned to move out early in the morning... And then one of our companions who did not participated in vicious Scorpion scheming (a son of deceased Kitsu and missing Yogo, who is as much as Lion in his heart as Scorpion) returned and told us that we must stay because an ifreeti, a foreign fire spirit from Far West is bound somewhere in the city and it is the source of recent heat waves pushing the peasants to rebellion. According to his revelations, the medallion found with the ninja in the Asahina monastery is a lesser fire spirit that can be used to find the greater one...
*sigh*
And we were almost ready to get out of the [s]Dodge[s] Crane.

Nah, very different thing. The massive multi-city-block spanning event in my town is more than a "fair" and very much a local point of pride in supporting our artists and the arts (and possibly also food trucks and getting drunk while dehydrated). Also while out of towners show up (it gets an attendance of 350,000 which is like half our population, so it's not all locals, it certainly is something that isn't exclusively one or the other), I'd think some tourists aren't as stupid as we are to go out in all the heat and stick to their hotel pools. It's not even located in the touristest district. I love all the performances and displays and I'm not too hip for it all... where I will agree with you is it's the crowd and the heat that's the problem. I want to go, I just want to do it in a personal, air-conditioned mech suit.
ETA: Rereading this, it sounds more douchey than I intend. This is an event near and dear to my and many of my friends' hearts is all. It's just effing HOT.

Not the kind that swore a lot. My dad was always pretty fond of classic metal - AC/DC, Metallica, Zeppelin, etc. - and he was the one to introduce me to the genre growing up, but we always bought the censored versions of albums.

Lol. Ummm, yeah, I can see how that would sound if you’re not from here, but A2 art fair is not small. :P
And I hear you about the mech suit! No overheating, protection from sensory overwhelm, can sit while it does the walking for me.... okay, ngl, that kinda sounds awesome for every day too.... ^.^Edit: and no worries, no offense taken. I’m extra down on things that require lots of walking right now, and I was more snarky than intended. Last time I went to the zoo I was bed bound for a week from pain. Yes, I need a damn wheelchair. No, I am not in a position to get one for various reasons. Art fair has never been my favorite, but I did used to enjoy a quick tour of it back before it hurt so much to walk. Sorry for being snotty about something important to you, and thank you for explaining.

Censored versions are NOT heavy metal.
I didn't even know you COULD buy censored versions of Led Zeppelin.

it was. And still is. This isn't over. I will likely have to be interviewed and my job may be investigated, may not be depending.
