Juku, perhaps?

Thank you Reader's Digest. lol

Needless to say, I didn't celebrate it in the traditional way of dressing up and collecting candy. Why would I? It's not like I can eat all those sugars and artificial colours.. bleh.

So I went for a wander around base. It was pretty deserted, with everyone out celebrating.. but I did pick up one bio-signature near the apartments. Kijo.

I didn't ask why he wasn't out, nor did he ask me the same question. Instead we spent a good portion of the night talking about different things in his lounge. A good catch up session. Eventually after running out of decent subject matter to discuss, we somehow decided to go to the parade. Of course we didn't attend like your average citizen, but stayed up on the rooftops, watching the festivities below.

All in all it was a great night. I really hope I can do more of it. I missed 'hanging' with Kij, so much in fact that resisted nearly all urges to poke fun or annoy him in any way.. nearly all of them. 

I’m glad Halloween is over. I think I’ve seen enough skin to last me a lifetime. I remember watching something on television a few nights ago that mentioned costumes have gradually been made to be more revealing over the years. They were right.

Riley’s wasn’t so bad though looked similar to what she wore last year. I asked why she didn’t wear jeans under the chaps like you’re supposed to and her answer was, ‘at least I wore clean underwear.’ Yes, thank you.

Her friend Julie was someone named ‘Morrigan’ from a game called ‘Darkstalkers.’ I’m still trying to understand just how the character is supposed to fight in a neckline that plunges to her navel. At least I was able to recognize what Robyn was dressed as, and I have to say, I was impressed. Though, if I had any say in the matter, I would have directed her towards the variant from the graphic novel, ‘Kingdom Come.’ Or even better, the armor Wonder Woman wore, because it would have guaranteed her first place in the contest.

Yeah, I could have made that. There’s always next year.

I also finally got an answer out of Riley. What she spilled was around what I guessed was wrong, and after giving her some direction, can only hope she listens for the sake of the relationship she’s in right now. Baggage IS a hard thing to let go of, and I don’t think she ever really had closure with Maven or Al - despite whatever she told herself - that she’s had a difficult time controlling her feelings. Anyway, I’ve said what I can. Now it’s up to her.

That includes Aria, too. She had been the one I was assigned to patrol with, and once the creature we tangled with was laid to rest after a boot to the head, we came back to the base where I questioned her current mood. Understandably, she was hesitant at first, but eventually went on to tell me about someone named ‘Aaralyn.’ Once a member of the team, she was used to create tension between two sides and clearly her opposition to re-join, or even settle their differences, is causing Aria unnecessary grief. It hasn’t helped matters either that the team has slowly been dissolving with members that are leaving.

All of this, and probably more, is making her question not only what she believes in but herself. Honestly, she’s always had pretty big shoes to fill, so I suggested searching out a second in command. If she chooses this option hopefully her decision is a wise and well thought-out one.

For reasons of sanity / keeping everything in one place /I'll actually REMEMBER to update poor Juku's status.. I'm moving her onto this account. nskjuku will no longer be used. SO yeah. O.o;;

I just reposted her bio on this account as well if people need to find it.


Sorry... kinda in and out...

Stand-by to Active…

I did not go to the parade. No one said ‘yes’ to my request for an escort. And I have this feeling… it is called sadness. I do not like it.

Bentora also was not able to participate. Something unforeseen came up and her project has been abandoned. While she was away I took a look and found some kind of mechanical contraption that was unrecognizable. After doing a search I was able to digitally arrange the remaining pieces together and complete the image. It is a replication of the power loader from the movie ‘Aliens.’

I then viewed footage of this film and associated their reactions to the creatures called ‘xenomorphs’ as ‘fear.’ Is this the way I should react to Kitten? I will be sure to have both expression and emotion co-operate next time.

I learned something new from Jasper. It is called ‘personal boundaries.’ I had to collect information on each word separately to understand what he meant; ‘personal’ means ‘of or relating to a particular person’ and ‘boundaries’ means ‘something that indicates a border or limit.’

Jasper has a border or limit relating to him. …I am still a bit confused even after his explanation. Is it a line I cannot cross? What would happen if I did? Does it only apply to Jasper? Why has no one else said they have ‘personal boundaries?’

Once again I have questions without answers. But I will not go back to him for them. He has his ‘personal boundaries.’

Saving log… Save Complete.

I’ve got some kinda candy hangover or somethin’ ‘cause I feel like serious crap t’day. uuuugggggh. Maybe Nate’ll let me nap it off in his jet s’long as Raoul doesn’t find out. The last thing I need is ‘ta be shocked awake by that stoic mug.

So yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah Saturday was as awesome as I ‘spected it t’be. I bagged m’self some candy, made the parade and entered m’self in the contest as ‘DA BOSS,’ n’ caught most’a Mal’s show where he juggled chainsaws OMGZ it was crazy. There were other acts, too, like Apollo doin’ this crazy shit n’ the air an’ a chick they called ‘the dragon woman’ that wore a top that looked like hoops you’d practice gymnastics off’a. I SWEAR.

The hibernation… that slowly takes over my body in the cooler seasons… hasn’t come on as strong as last year around this time… so I was able to enjoy longer the gathering of residents for the annual Halloween parade. There was quite a turn out this year… and the costumes… such variety… everything from commercialized icons… to the more common themes… such as princesses, cowboys, and… angels.

One ‘angel’ in particular… walked with a priest in tow… and they acted out their roles poorly if not… in an extremely offensive manner. It didn’t take long for me to recognize the pair… and then it made sense. I would think Kyle knew what an ‘oxymoron’ was… but the girl… not likely…

I’m sure I was seen when I took the stairs to the stage… I participated in the contest just for fun… as the woman I saw in that movie not too long ago. She had several variations… but the one I decided on… I liked the best. I hadn’t come to feed off the stares, whistles, and jeers of others... honestly, the majority was children, and despite my reputation I DO acknowledge their innocence…

…something of interest I wish to investigate further… I overheard a group of teenagers… who apparently practiced satanic rituals in the graveyard… that there was a sighting… of a dragon. Surely, it was with the use of some kind of prop or digital imaging, but no… they swore it existed… and it was dueling with a female that had powers that sounded much like the demons I know.

At this point… I wouldn’t be surprised if one day I saw a winged unicorn soaring through the sky… and it would be silly to say it’s ridiculous… because I’m included in these oddities.

…but I do have some good news… though Dr. Viper wasn’t too happy with my lack of obedience when asked to re-capture that beast… he finally found it beaten to death in an abandoned building. Later, when the remains were brought back to his lab, after running a DNA test… the results were inconclusive… apparently he didn’t have access to records that matched the identity of the assailants.

Either way… I remain superior.

'Nother meme to pass the time 'til tonight. WHEEE EXCITED. :DDD ( Read more... )

Aida attached this song to a text message he sent me askin' if I'd go with 'im to the parade tomorrow night. ... I KNOW RITE WTF?

I've just been in such a slump lately. Like, all I've been doin' it goin' to work and comin' home to my room n' watchin' horror movies on my laptop. Man, I will forever dig the Alien quadrilogy. AND I LIKED RESURRECTION, TOO.

Speakin' of that I named my tank BISHOP. <3 An' I cannot WAIT 'til BenBen takes me out and I can let 'im rip into some targets. I was gonna go ask 'er the other day when we were goin' and she just 'bout crapped her lil' overalls when I walked in on 'er in the lab. I was like 'OMGZ ANOTHER BISHOP??!' and she was like 'lololol no something better!' and I'm like, 'wtf is better than TWO BISHOPS??!' but I guess I gotta wait 'til Halloween t'find out. CANNOT SEE THROUGH SHEET.

That weird blue robot thing is still hangin' 'round down there. I 'member when she tried to touch BISHOP and I almost broke that lil' plastic arm of 'ers off. OFF LIMITZ TO EVERYONE. 'Cept BenBen 'cause she made 'im. <33 ANYWAY. I threatened Jay with a circular saw 'less he came to the parade 'til I 'membered his energy gun and I ran LOLOLOLOLOL.

The new addition to the family.

I decided on calling him BISHOP. Yes, it's from where you think it is, since Riley's name was inspired by Lt. Ripley. xD ISN'T HE CUUUUUTE? Man, I should of stocked him like the M1 Abrams. Two cannons and like three machine guns. If I had 4.35 million laying around I'd SO jump on that. lol

Anyway, to everyone, Kitten's bio's been updated. :D

Even if it's non-NSK Kitten I still think this is pretty rad and figured I'd share. xD It's done by the artist phoenix element on DA.

I’ve come to realize that Riley doesn’t like being made the center of attention when it’s not of her own doing. Since I took her and her roommates on that trip to the pumpkin patch and orchard I can tell she hasn’t been her usual self. She seems to be spacing things more than normal, and probably the most noticeable, is that she hasn’t been very talkative. She didn’t even ask me to come over and help with moving Julie into the spare bedroom. I don’t think she asked anyone for help.

For as long as I’ve known her, which has only been a few years, I still can’t read her right. She’s so unpredictable. And if I try to ask what’s wrong she’ll either make up excuses or say nothing at all. The later I hate because she’ll just sit there and busy herself by twirling her hair or playing with the shoelaces on her shoes when I can SEE she’s holding back.

Maybe I can bring her out by taking her for some ice cream. I know for sure she has an insatiable sweet tooth. Or better yet, surprise her by taking her to the Halloween parade. It’s not something I wanted to do but I don’t like seeing her in this funk.

 I was surprised to power up and find myself wondering.. Something was missing. Now, I haven't felt such a way since.. well.. Since I was organic. It didn't take me long to search to error though. The connections gone.. or just far too weak for me to pick up. I dearly hope it's the second. But that can only mean one thing.. Shades has gone.

I checked her place, and sure enough.. she wasn't anywhere to be found.. but I did find someone who was happy to see me. Tuna greeted me at the steps of her home.. So after a final look at the place, I pick up the little guy and brought him back with me. So I hope Benny doesn't mind having the fat cat around the lab.. and I hope Fifi doesn't mind sharing her base with another pet. At least he'll give me a little more company.. when Lik isn't annoying me.. or I'm not hovering around Benny as she works. I do get kinda lonely.

I've been meaning to get out and about more lately. Every since the little excursion to Riley's place, I seem to have fallen back on old habits of hiding away again. Man.. the bombshell about her dating the brat was bad enough.. it makes me wonder what other sort of drastic changes have happened socially within the Swat Team. I almost dread asking..

Reminders to be set;
- Message Kij, miss annoying him.
- Message Cam, miss annoying him too.
- Message Mal, wonder if he's still alive? haven't seen him in ages (mybad)
- Message Riley, just to annoy her.
- Message 'Brat', just to tease him about Riley.
- Instruct Lik on the meaning of 'Personal Boundries'.

All other things can wait for a bit I guess... Especially Halloween.. No matter how much nagging I receive, I will not be dressing up. Period.

...the beast escaped Dr. Viper's lab again... I didn't answer his call... I hope it is slain.

I made sure t'set time aside today to clean out the half bedroom Robi and I were usin' for storage so Jules had one of 'er own. She had been crashin' in mine 'cause it's the biggest of the three, and not that it was a problem, but with Som floatin' 'round I knew sooner than later I'd walk in on 'er spread eagle. KNOTHNX. ugh.

...yeah.

I'm gonna go wax my tank.
