#leigh centurions

[wingedshadowfan]

it took me a hell bent reread [spoilers] to realize (or maybe i'd just forgotten) that the second descent was actually done by all offices - dante, virgil, oculus and centurion

[safirefire]

excuse me where are the ninth house x hozier posts? Lethe? Dante?? The whole vibe

[prettymimi]

everyday i think about dawes' brain rebooting when she saw alex's tattoes on her hips

the tension. the air thickening.

i could practically hear from the pages the glup pammie gave trying to focus literally on anything else

people can argue their chemistry was accidental but that scene was just downright playing with my lesbian feelings

[calebwittebane]

also, finished my new vegas campaign. Leigh Has Achieved Her Mission or at least the closest approximation of it that the game let me achieve, which of course is the independent ending with a full securitron army and the support of the followers of the apocalypse. the only thing is i Fackin Forgor to deal with the fiends so they caused some problems but well the trouble they caused was to the ncr so i kinda dgaf. also i was surprised some khans showed up to help me at hoover dam! i actually felt kinda bad about it like no no... ive got this... you guys have been thru enough... you shouldnt have to protect the ncr from Anyone even the legion... please oomfies stay safe....

i think some of the remnants died??? idk only cannibal johnson was still with me at the legates camp. did they die?? im so sorry arcade i think theyve died. idk how. they were in power armor shooting gods lightning at enemies. whyd they die but boone didnt. boone was with me the whole time partially because earlier he was helping me with the kimball speech mission (which btw was the most awkward thing ever. love the uncoordinated animations and the crowd of 5 people. the speech that was impossible to understand like wtf is that guy saying. topped off with every npc involved getting locked in combat/fleeing at the end. love it) and i thought hed have fun with this too. well he did and he also had fun picking up rifles off of every legionnaire corpse. why does he do that. i check on him see his carrying capacity looks weird and there he is holding 8 rifles. boy drop it. drop it. now.

anyway. i kind of dont understand what happened with the brotherhood of steel, i think i had confused the game badly. i became besties with them rather early on, i even convinced mcnamara to let me join them (which like. youd think thatd have some curious implications but again, Unfinished Game) but i never talked them into making a truce with the ncr or anything. but for some reason i told mr house i did? like right before i decided i would Not be Trying The Mr House Route after all, a decision i made specifically over his insistence that i eliminate the brotherhood actually. and then yes man also acted like the bos were gonna help the ncr at hoover dam. and mcnamara kept saying he couldnt believe he would be helping the ncr even though again the subject had not once been breached. i was like ok. and then they did not in fact help the ncr. they didnt show up. wtf was that about. lies and treachery. after all i did for you. after i fixed your air conditioning. oh im sorry, was it the robots. did you not like the robots? scared of them?

and not only that, the boomers also didnt show up even though they were supposed to. motherfucker... what did i get you bastards that airplane for... you people were so annoying and unkind and i still helped you. because i thought i could count on you. for everything i did for you. loyal i hope your solar arrays break immediately. that guy who works with loyal idr your name i hope your gf breaks up with you and then you explode. i hope all of you explode. i shouldve known. i shouldve known better.

like thats so funny. of all the factions that i had recruited the ones that actually showed up to help were 1. The Elderly Ex-Soldiers Of The Horrid American Regime 2. the great khans, Unexpected And Unannounced. oh well. we still mowed through those bastards. thats right. thats right. all you centurions and other creeps, you stood no chonce. no chonce against this hungry hungry woman. she ate caesar, shes gonna eat all of you. thats how you deal with enemies and opponents and adversaries.

as for legate lanius i fully buy into the Legate Lanius Isnt Real theory. i mean yes ostensibly theres a guy, whose name Allegedly is lanius, and hes a legate. but hes just a propaganda figure. legate lanius The Cruel Merciless Force Of Destiny Itself, The Devil, Unpredictable, Cares For Naught But Victory, with all those crazy stories of how he became part of the legion. well thats not real. hes just a tall guy in a scary mask and he doesnt really wanna be here. like the fact that you can just talk him into retreating. like hey man this campaign has already cost you your leader and youre gonna keep having a bad time around these parts. take that taste the pain. and hes just like Yeah ok Theres wisdom in what you say Youre a worthy opponent indeed. Goo Bye Bye. and sprints away. ok. scariest guy east of the colorado river you guys. had to stay holed up in the little baby camp away from any fighting until the last big battle and even then he didnt leave the aforementioned little baby camp. he wasnt leading anything or anyone. he was in his tent scared and fingering himself. scram.

felt kinda bad throwing general oliver off the dam. it was an impulsive decision and i was like man i shouldnt have done that. i barely knew the guy. kind of a gruesome way to go. sure he pissed me off and was overall a bad person but i shouldnt be doing shit like that. doesnt inspire others' confidence in my Collected Trustworthy Nature. i think.

im really glad about the good endings i got for all my companions. they just all got really chill ending slides. theyre all just kinda hanging around the mojave helping people and being cool. arcade status: chillinnnng 👍 boone status: chillinnnng 👍 cass status: chillinnnng 👍 lily status: chillinnnng 👍 raul status: ghost cowboy. veronica status: chillinnnng 👍

anyway. i had fun. and so, this concludes the epic tale of Leigh The Hungry... Leigh The Water Drinker... Leigh The Devourer Of Armies.... Leigh The Hacker.... Leigh The Dubious... Leigh The Thief.... Leigh The Sleeper, The Taker Of Naps. and what a journey it was. in a perfect world women like her would not exist. but this is not a perfect world.

Back on Tumblr for my new favorite books: Ninth House and Hell Bent

Damn good books, Leigh. And damn fine characters, too. My dear Virgil and Dante, the queen and her demon consort. With lovely Pammie and so realistic Centurion - My favie after Darlington.

I read quite enough negative reviews about its pacing and the structure of the books but fortunately I don’t find any single problem with it, quite actually enjoy it tho. Not saying that others were wrong, this is my personal experience.

The world building is insane, we all know that. Really worth the read.

I’m currently waiting for the next and last book, also wondering what the title will be.

Pulp Storytime #8: Nova Roma Ain't Goin' Away!

All roads lead there. None led out. Jonesey the scammer/mechanic, and Mary Willard, extremely competent secretary and aspiring journalist, joined the group in Benghazi Libya. they were investigating Zenova Tlaib’s smuggling ring, trying to restore it to glory, when they noticed the pieces appeared fake. Ancient Roman artifacts that seemed completely pristine? With a little digging, they found a cave complex, and inside… Nova Roma! Thousands of years ago, separated from their detachment by a fierce windstorm, a group of centurions stumbled into a cave complex miles from civilization. Unable to return because of the fierce sands, they started their own Roman city. And it had been undiscovered… Except by Sir Aldis Riley (order of Canada), his assistant Maude Brown*… and Tlaib. The gang snuck in, hoping to rescue their friend Maude... only to find her potentially wed to the emperor’s son! All the outsiders stirred up a revolt by the “exploration” faction of the populace… one that was put down by Maude’s amazing recriminations, using all her acting power to convince the crowd that if they disobeyed, they would be turned into spiders! The players rescued Riley and Tlaib, but were caught on the surface by a circling Italian plane! Jonesey drove the escape car like a maniac… and with the help of Javid and Mary, reached Benghazi, faked out the pilots, and made it to the airstrip, flying his plane The Vivian Leigh to safety. *Maude’s player showed up late and had Sunday commitment for the next ten months, so this was a good way to write her out.

Mary Willard, "Reporter".

Pucklechurch Air Force will be on high alert this weekend as high-flyers Abbots Leigh CC load-up for a double header, fuelled by impressive comeback wins last time out.

Jonny Weber leads the 1st XI against PCC up on Abbots Leigh Road, whilst Mike Dean's 2nd XI make the return trip to take on 4th placed PCC.

Last week's centurions, James Holdsworth and Dan Brussow will no doubt look to continue their fine form.

Fresh from their 83 run, 10th wicket, match winning partnership - Andy Hamilton and Stuart Cole provided a much needed reminder to the 2nd XI in choosing when to attack and when to be patient.

Still a few spaces to fill, so please get those availabilities updated ASAP!

In this episode the boys look at the incredibly stupid decisions Rugby League has made in recent days.   The first is the decision by Super League to promote Leigh into the competition to replace the Toronto Wolfpack.   The second is the decision by the ARL to change a whole heap of rules about the game.   We then talk about the Australian Kangaroo “merit” team, and then finish up once again…

[ninth house/hell bent spoilers]

i don't believe we'll actually get it in the following book but i really want darlington's reaction to hearing about all the events that took place during his absence (since disappearing in the hellbeast's mouth in that basement and even a bit after being cast into the protection circle in the ballroom at black elm, since he only had knowledge of some events through the demon), like we know he met sandow in hell but there's so much sandow doesn't know about either

like guys... darlington doesn't know alex used a compulsion coin on the coroner to see tara hutchins' body, used that manuscript mirror multiple times, survived a gluma attack, tricked that kind morgue lady into letting her in, did the incantation to see tara's scars, stole that stupid wolf's head statue thing to bribe samole to let her in for the ritual with dawes (then threatened the fuck of of her when that didn't work), that she made dawes drown her to get to the borderlands, that she let not only the bridegroom inside, bonded him, used his power, fought tara's boyfriend when he could teleport, used tempest to get inside a prison with turner, found darlington's notes, did "work" for eitan, fought linus reiter

(i can't even remember all of these to sum them up or order them chronologically, help)

i'm just. so incredibly curious what his reaction would be to learning all of this, since he didn't know her all that long and he was just beginning to figure out what she was and what she could do (both that she was a killer/"survivor" and that she was a wheelwalker), he didn't get the chance to see her use her "street smarts" and essentially be the rattler she's always been - he was disappointed the first time she saw her afraid because he knew she had so much nerve
