Maddie’s Skyward Sword Chronicles: Sandship
Actual Sub Rogue Shiatehbuff
You’re picking up the flag in Warsong Gulch,
Everyone’s fighting in mid and your healer is dead
At the corner of your screen, you spot him…
~Shiatehbuff~
He’s /following you, about thirty clicks back
He pops into stealth and breaks into a [Sprint]
He’s gaining on you!
~Shiatehbuff~
You’re looking for the exit but he saps and stops you
He’s almost upon you now and you can see his Cataclysmic gear
My god it’s all Cataclysmic!
Flagrunning for your life (from Shiatehbuff)
He’s got an epic [Knife] (it’s Shiatehbuff)
Using [Cloak of Shadows]…
Battleground superstar Shiatehbuff
Camping all the corpses (Shiatehbuff)
Ganking for sport (Shiatehbuff)
[Cannabalize]ing all the bodies…
Actual sub-rogue Shiatehbuff
You’re out of the enemy base and you seem to have lost him…
But without defense you’re hopelessly lost yourself
Stranded, at the edge of mid with a rogue, you creep silently behind the hovels…
Ah ha! In the distance! Your home base - hope
You move stealthily towards it, but your toon - AH! - it’s caught in a [Freezing Trap]!
Shaking out of root (praying, praying…)
Huffing to the base (praying, praying…)
Now you’re near the flag room…
Waiting inside,
Shiatehbuff
Sitting down for food (Shiatehbuff)
But he doesn’t see you enter… (Shiatehbuff)
Sneaking up behind him…
[Charge]-stunning super-rogue Shiatehbuff
Fighting to hold the flag with Shiatehbuff
Pressing all the buttons with Shiatehbuff
Blowing all your cool-downs…
Safe at last from Shiatehbuff
You wait for the inevitable 3-1 loss, checking for your name place on the leaderboard
But you know you’ve won
You have beaten
Shiatehbuff
“So where did you learn to drive?” Lillian asked.
Vayu simply nodded her head slowly, eyes focused on their mock road.
“…when did you learn to drive?” Lillian tried again.
Vayu drummed her many fingers on the wheel.
“…you don’t actually know how to drive, do you?”
“I watched Rokuro, I’m driving Now—it’s fine.”
“Rokuro is the last person you should be learning from!”
Vayu hissed a loud “SHHHHH” and put a hand over Lillian’s face.
It’s funny because you’d never realize something god-awful was going on at the same time.
Vayu flung the tarp off of the vehicle, sending one of the Beacons who had been perched on top sailing through the air. Sure enough, it was indeed the Rolls-Royce—their infamous West Side escape vehicle from another fiasco of a long-done day.
“You can’t take that! It’s being kept here for someone!” one of the Beacons insisted as Vayu opened the driver’s side door, Lillian getting in on the other side.
“I know the guy, it’s fine,” said Vayu.
“How do we know that you know him?!” the Beacon screeched. “You’re lying, get out!”
“HEY,” Vayu roared, after hurriedly rotating the crank handle to roll the window down, sticking her head out at the Beacon. “DID YOU SEE THE SWORDS?”
The Beacon nodded sheepishly and took a step back.
“That’s what I thought,” Vayu huffed, rolling the window back up with a few clumsy arm motions.
“I thought you couldn’t drive,” Lillian said. “I can take the wheel, I can drive down a straight passage I think.”
“Never said I couldn’t drive,” Vayu replied, searching the vehicle for the keys now.
“You didn’t say anything at all, actually,” Lillian mumbled. “…here!”
Lillian found the keys under her seat and tossed them to Vayu, who turned them in the ignition and began to shift the gear.
“Alright, we’re heading out!” Vayu called to the Beacons outside (after rolling down the window again). “Be safe, get all the Weepies inside when you can and—”
Vayu had hit the pedal too hard, and had shot the vehicle backwards, crashing it into a lightpost outside the Asylum. The tall metal rod toppled over and fell onto the ground as Vayu slowly turned her head down to the gearboard.
“…it’s in reverse,” Lillian muttered.
Vayu hastily shifted the car into proper gear and slowly rolled back over to the Beacon group, who had watched the damage with dumbfounded expressions.
“Yep. So. Weepies…get them inside,” Vayu said, slowly chugging the car towards the passage while rolling up the window at the same time. “Do it. Yes. Good.”
Vayu stop
Another haiku about battlegrounds
I bet there’s a rogue
Stealthed at that unguarded base
Fuck there were two rogues
Issues in Epiphany: “Feminist agenda”
Incoherent rambling.
First and foremost, I have to talk about the very obvious “feminist agenda” feel of the story. Someone pointed this out to me once, and I saw it as neither a good or bad thing, but just a “thing” that certainly existed with no actual consequence.
Gonna post this here too.
Rambling about female vs male characters in Epiphany.
LITERALLY rambling this makes no sense.
