A Very Verfound Christmas

This is my gift to @verfound for the LBSC Secret Santa 2020 -Extravaganza! This it a Teen rated fic for some implied thoughts, and the ability to keep up with vague clues!

---

Here’s the thing-

When he’d woken up this morning, he had every intention of celebrating a short work day and another successful year of endless toy making. After all, it was Christmas Eve. Work. Watch the sleigh launch. Rock out in one of the Jingle Halls. Join the rest of the elves in bringing in the Christmas Dawn. Then sleep the entirety of Christmas Day.

As he had the last seventy odd years.

But as of five seconds ago, he was pretty sure he didn’t even remember his own name, let alone what he was doing later tonight, or even what he needed help with-

“What?” Luka blinked rapidly, before clearing his voice. Bright blue eyes blinked back.

“Do you need help with those?” Liquid sugar rolled off her tongue, he was certain of it. There was no other feasible way for her voice to be so sweet and melodic. Liquid sugar from pink glossed lips.

Those?

It took him a moment before his mind snapped back into action. Those.

Those were a pallet of last minute dolls that had been assembled and programmed incorrectly. Which, in reality wasn’t even in his department of toy making. They were his green haired absentee best friend’s. A certain friend who had slapped his ass, clocked off early, and dashed, leaving him to try to figure out how to get an entire pallet of singing ice queen dolls fixed, wrapped, and loaded onto the sleigh before launch.

Except, he really didn’t mind all of a sudden.

“I’m, uh, looking to drop these off with the doll repair department. Except I don’t even remotely know where that is,” he tried to drop his best grin at the end, and bit back a goofy grin when her face lit up red.

“Oh,” bright blue eyes blinked again, “this is the art department.” He watched as a small frown turned down her sweet lips, a furrow forming between her soft dark brows. His heart pounded in his chest painfully as a full pout took over the elf’s face. Then just as quickly, her face was lighting up, eyes wide. “Hold on one second! Stay right there! I think I can help.” The raven haired girl disappeared behind the door he had just knocked on, door shutting with a loud click in his face before his attention was drawn to the loud whirring around the corner.

Pulling the pallet of dolls along, he followed the sound to see a large bay door opening, as well as a sight he’d never let his mind forget.

Back lit by the shop lights behind her, the elf stood before him, hands triumphantly placed on her hips as she grinned at him. Curvy. Petite. And dressed in something he was pretty sure wasn’t the usual uniform. Because if it was, he was switching departments immediately.

Red and white striped stockings ran the length of her legs, a hint of creamy skin revealed where garters kept them in place, before disappearing beneath a red tutu flared out just enough to test the boundaries of cute and oh. A black vest trimmed in glitter wrapped her frame like a second skin, dipping dangerously low in the front. A view he knew would become increasingly distracting the closer he stood to her. He could just make out the twin coat tails attached in the back to round out her look.

Oh, sweet candy canes.

A sculpted arm waved him forward, “Come on in. I’m Marinette by the way.”

He was fairly certain he’d left his jaw on the floor, a good meter behind him, when he tried to respond, “Luka. Luka Couffaine.”

“It’s nice to meet you, Luka Couffaine,” she giggled, leading him further into the shop. Smooth, Couffaine.

Most of the machines and monitor screens were quiet, though some of the holo displays still had their most recent projects lit up and rotating. Lights were slowly kicking back on as they moved towards what looked like a small carpeted studio area, sectioned off from the immense space with a curved control panel. Then there was the color. It was everywhere, on everything. The control panel itself looked as if someone had gone crazy with spray paint and glitter glue. An extreme contrast to his department, where most of the spaces were walled off and smaller, but cozy and themed.

Two different ways to keep inspiration high.

“Go ahead and bring them over here so I can see what we’re dealing with,” Marinette pointed towards an empty space near a work table. As he powered the hover units down on the hand truck, effectively parking the dolls, he became aware of one very specific thing:

The Couffaines definitely had a pixie kink.

Marinette stepped out of heels he hadn't even been aware she was wearing, until she went from chin height to his chest.

And just as she had dropped in height, so did his eyes. Beaming blue eyes, determined pink lips, and --ffff the swell of her chest, emphasized by the matching red bra he could just barely see peeking from beneath. Being tall was both a blessing and a curse. When it came to which one it was right now, he was fairly certain his name was dropping rapidly from the Nice List.

Tearing his eyes away, Luka shifted his attention back to the original problem at hand.

“The doll is dressed in her sister’s attire, and to top it off the music department loaded it with the wrong song. This is the first movie’s song, and not the recent release.” He lifted the platinum haired doll, easily sliding her from the plastic twists they’d been forced to switch too. A small hand reached out to take the doll from his hand, before it was meticulously examining the fabrics. He would’ve expected the petite elf’s hands to be soft and smooth, but they were nearly as strong and callused as his own.

“I think we can fix this. How long do we have before launch?” She swivelled away quickly, setting a few things into motion as she took control. A holoscreen popped up from the control panel, before she flicked it up into the air to hover a few meters off the ground. The countdown to launch was displayed in bright red numbers. “Oh good, we’ve got five minutes until launch. Plenty of time.”

“Plenty of time?” He questioned, a bit disbelieving. Granted, it was a decent amount of time, but how in the world were they going to get it done. “I don’t know anything about dolls. I work in sound effects.”

“They essentially just need their outfits updated, which I can do. And the correct song recorded over their music chip, which you can do.” She was already pulling the dolls free from their boxes, while simultaneously preparing the work space before her.

“Amazing,” he breathed to himself. “I don’t know how to record songs onto these, though.”

“Don’t worry! We used to fix stuff all the time in my old department. You know those toys where the voice doesn’t sound like the actual character? That’s because it’s an elf,” she whispered, even though it was just the two of them. “They’ve got a small recording studio in here, we just need to get the right song track set up and you’ll sing over it. And don’t worry, the program will alter your voice, no talent needed!”

She made it all seem so simple.

He stood there for a moment watching her move about, removing clothes from the dolls, sourcing different fabrics, and selecting different re-hue pens.

All he had planned on doing was dropping them off, and now here he was, fixing them.

But there was definitely nowhere else he’d rather be than where he was right now.

Wandering over to the recording studio on the other side of the control panel, he flicked through a few of the screens that hummed to life, but found it hard to keep his eyes from drifting.

“Your outfit is pretty cute. Were you going to one of the parties or a date?” He watched out of the corner of his eye to avoid facing her directly. But he wished he had when he saw the beautiful rosy color from earlier spread across her cheeks and bloom all the way to the tips of her elegantly pointed ears. “I hope I didn’t ruin any of your plans.”

A tiny squeaked, “Thank you,” came long before the rest of her response. “No date. A celebration actually. I don’t normally dress sooo…..” she waved her hands at her body.

“Oh?” The audio track he needed began to play loudly in the speakers around him, blaring out high notes neither of them were prepared for. Marinette nearly fell from the stool she’d placed herself on, naked doll and hue-pens flying, as he scrambled to turn it down. “Sorry!”

“I’m okay! I’m okay!” Her hands were waving him off as she went in search of her things, dropping onto her hands and knees. He could see her crawling around underneath the control panel, skirt bobbing dangerously. Pale skin flashed, and the bare curve of her rear came into view for a moment’s breath, before her skirt dipped to cover her once more.

“I’m definitely on the naughty list,” he muttered. Taking a moment to himself, Luka closed his eyes and dropped into the swivel chair behind him, swivelling slowly. Think about something else. Anything else.

“Are you kidding me? After we fix this fiasco right before launch, we are going on the Nice list for sure. I would know!” Luka stopped spinning to find Marinette settled on her stool and working on the dolls once more.

“There’s no way you’ve ever been on the Naughty List.”

Mischievous blue eyes looked over at him, sending his heart fluttering once more, before she grinned. “I’ve been on the Naughty List.”

He sat up in his seat, intrigue pulling him to full attention. With an impatient flick of his wrist, the screen between them flew off to the right, taking the lyrics with it.

“Do tell.”

“Wellll, I got in trouble for a little breaking and entering and theft of personal property,” he watched her lips roll between her teeth as she tried to keep up her nonchalant facade. He blinked, surprised none the less.

“Hardcore,” he grinned, thoroughly satisfied when her face flamed up again.

“I didn’t keep it!” She squeaked out and he couldn’t stop the laugh that bubbled out of his chest.

“I believe you,” he winked. Her blush deepened, and she swivelled away to hide the way she bit into her lip. Damn did that feel good.

Pulling the lyrics back in front of him, he set about analyzing the song and tune, easily working silently in the space with her. He took a quick glance at the countdown, and breathed a sigh of relief when it read five minutes ‘til launch still.

Positioning the microphone in front of his face, he lost himself in the song. Testing out his ability to reach with his vocals, muscles he didn’t get the chance to use as frequently as his other band members.

“Wow.”

Luka looked up to find Marinette only a few paces away, clutching a full arms worth of redesigned dolls. The amazement on her face, brought blood rushing to his own cheeks. He cleared his throat awkwardly, and poured more focus than necessary into saving the music file.

“You’re beautiful-- I-- I mean your voice is beautiful! I didn’t know you could actually sing,” she was setting the dolls down and moving closer, the smell of sweet baked goods surrounding her and intoxicating his senses.

“Well, these dolls look like they should be on collector’s shelves.” He lifted one of the ice queens up, marvelling at Marinette’s ability to not only change the entire outfit but make it better than the original. He followed her lead as she sent the dolls through a reprogramming shoot, catching them at the end to repackage them. “You didn’t learn those skills from the mass production team.”

The smile on her face caught his attention. The way it lifted her cheeks, set light to her eyes. She pulled the doll from his fingers, and he realized he’d been staring.

“No. I actually learned on my own. It’s a hobby of mine- making clothes. So doing it in miniature wasn’t too hard.” The machines around him were shutting down as he realized she had already finished packing everything away. Not to be the worst helper around, he carried most of the boxes back to the pallet. “Your voice. It really is amazing, you know.” She turned to him brightly as he powered the hover units back on, and the hand truck lifted from the ground. “You remind me of one of my favorite performers! Jolly Stone!”

“I love Jolly Stone! I’m actually in a band, we’re performing later tonight. If you’d like, you could come watch us perform. We’re not famous or anything. Just my sister and two of our friends.”

“Oh. That sounds fun, but I’ve got my party right after this! Which actually-” she glanced at the countdown- ”I’m late for! It’s five minutes ‘til launch!” He watched her devolve into panic, frantically searching for her things. She looped a scarf around her neck, slipping her arms into a long coat that fell past her skirt. Standing on one leg, she attempted to put her heels on, before tipping forward. With speed he wasn’t aware he’d possessed, he leapt forward catching her in his arms before she could take a spill onto the floor.

Sugar plum fairies were going to be dancing in his dreams tonight.

Delectably sweet smelling, and tantalizingly light in his arms. He found himself molding her small frame to his body as he lifted her to her feet. Those bright blues caught him again, and parted lips begged for him to lean in. Painfully he let his hands drift away from her body once he was sure she was steady, and immediately he wished he hadn’t.

Her next attempt was far more successful, and even still he offered his arm to her as they left the art department. When her hand slipped around his elbow to secure herself, he let the smile show on his face. Then let the grin take over, when Marinette dipped her face down, blush rising up her ear tips.

“I don’t wear heels often. I’m a total klutz, I should’ve known better.” He frowned at her self admonishment, but kept any comments to himself. “I just thought they went so well with my outfit. Plus I wanted to look cute for my party.”

“Right, this party. You said it was a celebration and you’re late?”

“Oh, yes! My old coworkers and friends are throwing me a party for my promotion. I’m actually from district South 12th. I was, um, going through some things. Naughty List and all,” an embarrassed giggle slipped free, but she continued on. “So, when I saw a management position pop up in South 10th’s Art Department, I applied for it. Today was my first day.”

“First of all, congratulations on the promotion. Second, I’m sorry to hear you were going through some things, but I’m not sorry that it led you here. Otherwise I’m not sure I would’ve met you.” He gave her a small bump with his arm, but made sure to keep a tight grip on her hand just in case.

“Me too.” And when he glanced down she was smiling brightly to herself.

“So after we drop these off at Wrappings, I could walk you to your party if you’d like? I have to meet my sister in South 12th anyways.”

“Does your sister work in South 12th?”

“Yeah, she’s in the music department though. Not art, so not sure you’d know her.” As they came around the corner, they found themselves in line with the other last minute toy deliverers.

“I actually have friends in music!” Luka watched as her face scrunched up in thought, nose wiggling adorably. “Hmmm, Couffaine.... Wait a second!” She turned to him, eyes searching his face, furrow finding her brows. “Juleka’s last name used to be Couffaine. Are you related to her?”

And this was the moment when Luka realized that the whole Christmas-Magic-works-in-mysterious-ways thing his mother always claimed, was in fact, real.

“That’s my sister,” he chuckled, watching the excited surprise on her face.

“She never mentioned having a hot brother!” The loud gasp, before she slapped a pale hand over her mouth made him laugh harder. “I mean… she never mentioned having a brother,” she sputtered.

“Of course she wouldn’t. I’m lame in her book.” Externally he was playing it cool, but internally he was pretty sure his insides were about ready to burst. The most amazingly adorable and badass elf he had ever met thought he was hot.

A Wrappings coordinator waved them towards a platform to leave their pallet on, and Luka took the opportunity to calm his excitement, so that he didn’t look like a giddy cherub when he sauntered back to her side.

“You know, Jueka was going to my party. And I’m not sure if you had any other plans, but if you have time before your performance… you could come celebrate with us. It’s not just a coworkers thing. But if you don’t want to or don’t have time, I totally understand. It is last second after all, and you barely know me-”

“Marinette.” Her lips clamped closed suddenly, and those eyes he was beginning to truly lose himself too, watched him.

“I would love to go to your party with you. My performance isn’t until right before the Christmas Dawn. I’ve got all night.” He slid his hands into his pockets, to keep them from reaching out to hold her again. The expressions crossing her face were a mixture of excitement and worry, but he kept his thoughts and limbs to himself while she worked out whatever was on her mind.

“Do.. do you have a date for Christmas Dawn?” So quiet, hesitant.

“Not unless my Ma counts,” he winked, heart beginning to pound again.

“Would you like to be mine?” YES. “I- I mean my date?” That too.

“I would love to be yours, Marinette- your date.” Pulling his hand free from his pocket, he offered it to her. She slipped her small hand into his without hesitation, smile setting her face aglow.

“Shall we?”

Ch 16, from Eirika’s side

Yeah, this is a much better proposition. I totally forgot to adjust bencher’s inventories last chapter and ended up with the convoy full of crap I didn’t need and empty of the crap I did need.

Ewan is both faster and more magical than Knoll, so he can put those heavy tomes to good use. Knoll’s Skill isn’t so great that I want to throw Eclipse his way - he’s got some weak points, but I hope I can train him up, because I know his Summoner promotions is excellent.

The opening narration does not differ from the referenced LP in any way.

Once we get on the map, though.... originally this starts with Eirika saying ‘Brother’ and Ephraim saying the line she’s been given. Considering he’s been running around out of sight and we know where Eirika has been the whole time, this works way better.

(I think the constant use of ‘Brother’ is left over from the original Japanese, which was probably a variant of ‘Oniichan’)

(Also, Eirika says ‘desolate’ rather than ‘desolated’, the latter of which is used often, which I think is also another translation quirk.)

This line is unchanged, as is the dialogue up to it, but it interests me in the way the game is written. It’s actually pretty reasonable - the known king gone, his replacement uncaring, the country is falling apart.

Ephraim’s lines are chopped in half and switched a bit with Eirika. Again, this mod does well at making somewhat stilted dialogue flow more like a real conversation.

I didn’t gif it, but the scene where Orson runs in and grabs ‘Monica’ is pretty interesting to see in action - it makes good use of gameplay movement mechanics to tell a story.

This line isn’t changed, Orson’s whole deal just makes me sad.

No change, just compare the line with Orson’s portrait.

The original line apparently did not include ‘Ephraim?’. Huh.

Lyon’s entire dialogue has been replaced, as has the response.

Gee, Lyon. Hit a little close to home?

I like this change. Not entirely sure what they’re building up to, but it’s very interesting to see Lyon with agency and clarity here.

I have Metis’ Tome, which boosts a single character’s stat growths by 5% across the board. Not entirely sure who to throw it at. Maybe Ephraim, he has not been doing great compared to his sister.

At one level lower, Ephram is +8 HP, +2 Str, -6 Skill, -3 Speed, +0 Luck, +3 Def, -2 Res on Eirika. That Skill in particular hurts him - Lances aren’t nearly as accurate as swords.

In comparison to their averages:

Eirika- -2 HP, +0 Str, +1 Skill, +1 Speed, -2 Luck, +1 Def, +0 Res

Ephraim- +0 HP, -3 Str, -3 Skill, +1 Speed, -1 Luck, +1 Def, +1 Res

In fact, I’m going to toss a Seraph Robe Eirika’s way right now, because two Wyverns attacking her at 13 damage a pop last map scared me juuuuust a little.

Natasha is underperforming, and Artur’s low Skill makes him a poor choice for Sage, so he’s going Bishop and manning the heals this map.

His Luck is still abysmal, but as long as he doesn’t get near a physical foe with a Killer weapon he should be alright. And high Magic is very nice.

I may have accidentally erased the commentary, but Garcia is doing well basically everywhere - a little low on Defense, but with so much HP he’ll be fine. His speed is actually above average for him - not great, but his Con is so monstrous that he can wield practically anything without a penalty. And his Skill is fucking absurd for an axe wielder. If I promote Ross he’s most definitely going Berserker, so this is basically my only chance for a Warrior, and I think it’s a good choice.

My current loadout.

This asshole and the two upper Shaman are carrying Luna. On the other hand, this freaking Level 8 Druid has 14 Magic. Kind of sad.

Aside from turning into a dragon, Myrrh is grabbing over 80 EXP a kill, so this comes in in two fights. Very nice.

I snag Neimi and Amelia’s C Support, which is literally unchanged. Neimi is already doing pretty great on this map, so this’ll make her even more unstoppable.

Well, she’s fast.

Myrrh got poisoned, which is great for Artur’s staff training (though at least some kind soul at IntSys said, ‘Hey, what if promoted units started with weapon levels about E in this game?’)

One issue with this map is that the second half of every Player Phase is spent moving the rest of your army up into the narrow halls. Maybe I should have brought Tethys after all.

There’s this weird pause on the enemy phase, as if every single unit up here is passing manually before the Player Phase begins.

This Knight refused to move on the Enemy Phase, netting Knoll a delicious free kill. I’ve been carefully feeding him up to this point.

Was it worth it...? Well, he now has more Magic than the level 8 enemy Druid, and Skill is important for Dark Magic, but we’ll see.

Also, Eclipse is actually useable in Ewan’s hands after all. We don’t do this yet, but it may be useful later.

The Luna Shaman does not get baited out by Neimi. I drop a save and carefully approach.

It is IMPERATIVE that your bait units have at least 13 Luck or more than 50 Avoid. Luna is bad enough without the crit chance, even on these doofuses.

Amelia’s Avoid is actually so high that she cannot be hit by the Luna Shaman or Druid. It’s incredible.

Colm wastes the Druid for an acceptable level.

Attacking the Shaman+Druid appear to trigger the Warrior’s move. Or maybe I crossed an invisible line.

I don’t know what’s more laughable, that hit rate or the damage.

Joshua effortlessly wastes a Warrior (the Iron Blade gave him enough damage w/out slowing him down too much) and gets a good level for it.

Oh yeah, a bunch of Cavaliers and I think Great Knights filed in last turn. They’re all out of the way at the moment. There’s also a thief, but there’s no chance they’ll get the treasure first so I’m not too concerned.

Oh right, this asshole. Good thing that Warrior didn’t land, cause this does.

Forde kills his own Warrior. Eh....

Eirika wastes a Killing Edge use on a redundant crit for an okay level. Her opportunity to promote comes at the end of this chapter, although thankfully Sacred Stones is nice enough to make it an option rather than mandatory.

Myrrh isn’t quite strong enough or fast enough to one-round a Warrior alone, but managed a great crit when I forgot to soften it up. Maybe a waste of promoted EXP, but I’ll live.

Unfortunately, a second Thief appears on the right side, a signal to hurry up. I sent Forde racing after them, but he got eaten alive by a Hero-Sage-Sage combo and I had to reset.

See, this Sage is holding a Purge (Light-type Siege Tome) and a Divine tome. Whichever they’re not using when they die gets dropped. This means I need to get someone in their face to make them switch before they run out the remaining 4 Purge uses, but I also need to get someone to the right side to beat out the Thief there.

The other Sage has Bolting, and a Gem that can only be stolen, and those Heroes are packing Silver weapons and decent stats, and they move.

Here’s some good news: see, the AI doesn’t ‘see’ Myrrh’s Dragonstone bonuses, so it reads them as if they had actually 7 Res etc. This makes for excellent bait.

wait, FUCK

This is the second goddamn time this bastard has finished Forde off, too.

(Forde got a great level this attempt, too ;_;)

The worst part of these resets is having to watch every single one of these chucklefucks think seriously about how they want to move.

Ow, what??? Myrrh was right there! How freaking low is Cormag’s Res...?

Yeah, sending Myrrh up to handle the Purge Sage was a good plan. They attract a ton of attention but are hard to kill.

This poor Hero can neither double nor harm them.

WHAT I DELIBERATELY PLACED HIM OUT OF RANGE

Oh thank fuck. All the Cavaliers broke themselves on Eirika’s Rapier Of Redundant Criticals, but this still would have been annoying as hell.

shiiiii

YES

Knoll doubles this Druid to death, which is... sad, for several reasons.

His level? Not sad at all.

(Although I really want to know why this game has so many Luck-screwed units, especially magic users. I mean bad levels are part of it, but what the hell?)

Ewan puts a Hero out of their misery for a good level.

In a moment of hilarious redundanct, Colm steals the left-side thief’s Lockpicks to max out.

+2 HP, +2 Str, +3 Skl, +0 Spd, +1 Luck, -3 Def, -2 Res. I thought Colm was doing poorly but he’s actually in good shape, provided nothing ever, ever hits him.

I already have Rennac as a Rogue, but I’m not sure I want Colm to go Assassin - though with that Skill,he’ll be in good shape re: Silencer (Lethality, but based on crit rate).

Ow.

Fortunately, this misses.

Oh goddammit. I have to get Ewan out of range before my plan goes sideways.

... you’re supposed to prioritize stealing, but I’m not complaining.

However... RENNAC! WHY CAN YOU NOT DOUBLE AN UNPROMOTED THIEF!?

He can at least rob them, for a depressing level.

Thanks to Rescue-Drop shenanigans, everyone but Myrrh is out of range now. Here’s hoping.

I love Myrrh.

Yanno, the LPer referred to these Great Knights as sardine cans full of delicious experience. I thought that was a joke. It was not.

Eirika crits this poor fool for their audacity.

Basically a perfect level.

She crits the second and normally kills the third, launching her to the cap.

The level could be better, but that’s frankly nitpicking at this point.

Pretending she didn’t get the +7 HP from the Angelic Robe, she’s:

-3 HP, +0 Str, +1 Skill, +0 Spd (but capped MUCH earlier), -1 Luck, +2 Def, +1 Res.

So aside from HP, which I’ve already patched up, and Luck, she is on or ahead in every single stat. Outstanding.

That was also the last Great Knight in range this phase, so i don’t have to worry about wasted EXP too much.

Rennac, do you think I am above replacing you wholecloth with Colm?

yessssssssss

yesssssssssssssssssss

yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

This Great Knight has the same HP as Ewan. Ewan.

....that..... is not what I meant.

Forde chips a GK for a much worse level than he got in my alternate reality. Sigh....

The bad news is the GKs know he’s the weak link. The good news is not only can they not kill him in one turn collectively (the one with the Steel Axe didn’t even land) but they’re feeding EXP straight into his mouth.

God fucking dammit Rennac.

Finally. Myrrh, dinner!

Good dragon.

....

Anyways, Cormag breaks the leftover Priest in half, and the victory music starts playing. Rennac dumps his loot at the supply and heads for the unopened chests.

Sadly, I did not bring Seth or Kyle, so there’s no chance of seeing those conversations with Orson.

Oh, also, Orson is pretty dangerous. I’m just gonna let Cormag sit here this turn.

Ow.

Forde’s conversation is exactly the same (not that I actually use him to attack yet)

What a crying shame. The best shot at murdering him can’t benefit from Boss EXP.

Eirika’s conversation DOES differ:

“text disappeared too fast“

seriously

She landed, got hit, then critted. I’m almost mad. But that boss EXP should go to the needy.

Back in reality, Forde (armed with the Hoplan Guard), Myrrh, and Ewan sit in countering range. Ewan’s odds aren’t great, but at least he can’t be ORKOed.

Amazingly, both hits land.

The Rogue sprite was definitely made with solely Rennac in mind - Colm’s hair just blends into the headwrap. Oh well, Rennac is fucking useless and Colm is actually decent so here goes.

Those defenses were sorely needed. Definitely not a combat class, though. That’s fine.

Neimi finally makes it up but misses and gets countered, despite actually having the better hit odds. And Colm’s high luck is a godsend, since I don’t have to worry about him getting critted.

Oh yeah. Good thing we nailed that enemy thief, cause gold-the-funds CANNOT be restolen.

Neither hit.

Now Amelia is in range, making Neimi even more of a hope. The second chest contained a Hero Crest (Colm’s chest on the left side had a Tomahawk)

Neimi crits, but Orson had healed up to full in the meantime. It’s actually good for people to get hit, because it breaks down uses of his Spear and leaves him with a Silver Sword that’s much easier to counter.

The last chest contains a Talisman.

Artur gets a bad level from just healing this entire map. I mean, Skill is kind of handy vs our current foe, but really....

Dammit.

Neimi finally lands another hit and decides Artur is a role model.

...which I guess there’s a reason for. Huh. I totally forgot they could support.

Ewan also manages a chip-dodge, I’m so proud.

Ewan gets hit twice but counters twice-

And Neimi crits!

....let’s seize.

I’ll get the story changes tomorrow.

by Ayodeji Awosika

How many times have you tried to set a goal and failed? You can’t even count…the number is that high.

You’ve failed to reach your goals so many times that, deep down, you feel eternally cursed to live the same life on repeat.

You look at the future and everything is…the same. It scares you, but you also feel like you can’t do anything about it. You have these little waves of motivation and have a little bit of hope, but then you fail again, which makes you less likely to want to try again. Then, after trying enough times, you just quit.

This is the story for 95 percent of people, but it doesn’t have to be your story.

At a certain point in your life, if you follow through with a handful of goals, you’ll become permanently motivated.

I failed at nearly every goal I set until I found writing. Since then, I’ve achieved most of the goals I set for myself. It’s as if the past doesn’t exist or count, You can get here, too. If you break that mental barrier and find a way to finally start following through, one day you won’t be able to recognize your former self.

I have hope for you. Not because I’m pandering. But because I spent a good chunk of my life is an extremely lazy royal screw up who couldn’t concentrate or focus on a goal to save his life.

So, while no listicle can fix your life, I hope at least one of these ideas sticks out and sparks the motivation you need to go on the magical bull-run you’ve been desperately waiting for.

Write your goals down — This seems basic and trivial, but there’s something about the mind-body connection that occurs when you physically commit to a goal by writing it down. Literally writing, too. Don’t type it. The physical act sends a subconscious signal to your brain that you’re somewhat serious.

Get as many ‘quick wins’ as possible — Lower your criteria for success and stack little victories on top of each other quickly to get momentum. If you want to be a writer and truly can’t bring yourself to sit down and write for long periods, commit to 10 minutes of writing per day if that’s what you have to do to build a streak.

Follow the rule of 2 — I learned this idea from James Clear. If you screw up on the path to your goal, e.g., missing a workout, just don’t do it twice. Allow yourself that mulligan to avoid the ‘downward spiral.’

Find compelling reasons to achieve your goals — The more compelling the reason, the why, behind your goals, the more likely you are to follow through. I was compelled to stick with writing because I was legitimately terrified of having to work for someone else my entire life.

Use negative emotions — I find negativity to be the most compelling form of motivation. Is it the healthiest? Debatable, but it’s been the most effective for me. I usually start seriously working on a major goal or initiative when I’m sufficiently fed up with my current circumstances. I move things from the ‘tolerable’ column to the ‘I can’t fucking stand to live like this’ column and then I change.

Don’t brag about shit you haven’t done — I see this happen too often. A friend of mine has a new ‘business.’ They have all these shiny business cards, a logo, and they’re posting all over social media about how successful they’ll become. 100 percent failure rate. Keep your big hairy audacious goals to yourself until you pull them off.

Brainwash yourself — Individual pieces of motivational content, including mine, are ineffectual. That’s why you have to consume so many of them. Combined with action, though, and done over a long enough period of time, this content can re-wire your brain. Mind you, you’re susceptible to becoming a self-help junkie who gets nothing done, but this route gives you your only fighting chance.

Stop looking for examples in ‘the real world’ — You can’t use people in your daily life as models for success. They’re not bad people, but odds are, the people you know personally haven’t done the things you want to do, nor do they have the level of motivation you seek to have. Most people get caught in that lower paradigm because they conform to their surroundings.

One thing at a time — Read the book The One Thing by Gary Keller for a full explanation of this. You always want to have a primary goal to focus on each day, week, month, year, etc. I do many things in my business, but my ‘one thing’ has always been getting a blog post done. Find that keystone goal that makes all other goals easier to achieve.

Use the chain strategy — Buy a calendar, mark off an ‘x’ each day you do the task that leads to your ultimate goal. You will form a chain of x’s. The longer the chain, the less likely you are to break the chain.

Be mindful of your environment — If you want to lose weight, you can’t keep junk food in the house. Having the T.V. on and 8 social media tabs open probably isn’t conducive to staying focused on your writing. This seems simple, but people dramatically underestimate the power of their environment.

Understand this truth — You think hesitation is less painful than following through with the action, but it’s the opposite. Hesitating and the anxiety it causes is actually more mentally taxing on you than just doing the thing. Re-read that and think about it.

Focus all your effort on the ‘tipping point’ — Keep your head down and work on your goal until you reach a point where your efforts start to compound, meaning you get more payoff for the same amount of work. Example: most writers quit too early because they don’t understand that once they get a little bit of an audience, their audience will grow at a faster rate in the future.

Master your strengths, then hedge your weaknesses — Set goals based on your natural talents and strengths. You’ll stick with them because you’re already decent. After mastering those you can set goals based on fixing up your weak spots, or you can find partners, employees, assistants, contractors, friends, etc who can complement your skillset.

Align your goals with positivity — Naval Ravikant has a saying “eat the healthy food that tastes good to you” For me, I realized I’d never reach my fitness goals by eating dry chicken breast and vegetables daily. So I didn’t even try. Don’t torture yourself to reach your goals. It just tends not to work.

Get help — Coaches, mentors, trainers, etc, serve one purpose — accountability. Often, investing money to get help in an area creates emotional leverage to stay accountable because you don’t want to waste that money.

Don’t choose dumb and arbitrary goals — If you set a goal like “make a million dollars” or “get rich” you won’t reach it because you have no context for the goal. Set goals based on the things you want to do and the outcomes you want to achieve. You’ll get things like money as a byproduct.

Don’t become a self-help robot — I’ve never once written down a S.M.A.R.T Goal on purpose. Many of my goals fit the criteria, but I’ve never gotten too in the weeds with goal setting or productivity routines because they tend to become a form of procrastination in and of themselves. I use a notebook and mostly journal about the things I want to achieve in a loose way. It’s been sufficient for me.

Use these rules of thumb — Use them loosely and keep them in the back of your mind while you’re working. It takes five years to overhaul your life, reinvent yourself, and build something substantial. Focus on the first 90 days of ruthless action to build traction. Continue these quarterly bursts and track your overall progress every 18 months or so.

Use time blocks — You want to do your task at the same time every day and preferably even the same place. This will help you reach a point where you expect to get your task done because you’ve conditioned your brain to be ready to do that task at that time.

Keep reminders of what it takes — Use two types of examples. One, find examples of people you look up to and research how long it took them to get good. This will keep you grounded and patient. Second, find examples of people who clearly have less talent than you or came from a more difficult situation than you. This will keep you from deluding yourself into thinking your situation is special.

Understand the 80/20 of reaching long term goals — The first 20 percent of your journey accounts for 80 percent of your success. The first 20 percent is the part where you’re overwhelmed with all the little nuances and minutiae of your path. It’s the equivalent of when you first go to the gym and you’re super sore. This is the part where you’re flailing around just trying to gain a basic understanding. Once you do have that understanding, though, you’re pretty much all the way there and the rest is just a matter of time and picking up a few more nuances along the way.

Think about dying — I use my own mortality as a motivator constantly. I want to get to a point in life where I’d be okay if I died. I’m pretty close. How would you feel about the progress of your life if you knew today was your last day? What would you rush to get done for the rest of the day? Think about that. Use it.

Use inversion — Set goals for outcomes you don’t want to have. Use people as models for what you don’t want to be like. Figuring out exactly what it takes to be successful is harder than figuring out what definitely won’t work.

Stop being soft — Society doesn’t like to use the word soft anymore. Why? Because society is full of soft people. Look, you need mental toughness to pull off major goals. Feeling like a helpless victim of circumstance isn’t conducive to reaching goals. You have to leave that self-care shit alone for a while. You have work to do.

Car insurance not at fault?

How much should I be paying for car insurance?

I live in the Philadelphia metropolitan area, although not in the city itself. I'm 25, and I've had my license since I was 18. I've been in one accident, and the other driver was ruled at fault. I've had no traffic tickets. I have a two year college degree and good credit. I drive a 2006 Chevy Cobalt that will be paid off in August. It's currently under my parents' name and on my parents' insurance policy. Once it's paid off, they're supposed to sign it over to me. (I'm reimbursing them for the car and insurance.) My parents might be ripping me off on the insurance costs; my father bought a second truck around the time of my 25th birthday, and there hasn't been any drop in the policy costs. How much can I expect to pay for a policy in my name only with the car in my name only?""

Can I turn my health bills from a car wreck into my health insurance?

I'll try to make this as short as possible. I was hit by another car, who fled the scene but I was able to get her license plate, made and model of her car. Her insurance is covering the body damage for my car but I'm having problems with the medical part of all this. In all, I have had two visits with my doctor and he sent me to the hospital for xrays. I have whip lash and nothing else. I live in Kentucky, which is a no-fault injury state (I have no idea what that means). The other driver's insurance company is not going to pay for my injuries since they are less than $1000. Which means I have to turn it in to MY car insurance company and pay my $1000 deductable or pay out of pocket, which will be about $800. Someone I work with mentioned that I can turn the bills into my health insurance company for them to cover it. Is that an option? I'm not at all familiar with any of this b/c this is my first experience having to deal with car insurances. I know it doesn't matter how I feel, but I'm really ticked that someone can hit my car, flee the scene, cause injuries to me, and then I am the one responsible to pay for the medical care. Does anyone have any experience with this? Can I turn this into my health insurance to avoid paying the $800 that I don't have? Thank you.""

Why is our group health insurance so much more expensive than getting an individual plan privately?

My husband gets insurance through his work, and they take out $170 a week (he gets paid weekly). So that totals about $730 a month for us and our kids plus maternity benefits. What confuses me is if we were to drop that insurance and get an individual plan with the same company, same deductible, same co-pay, including maternity benefits (exactly the same plan) it would run us about $440 a month. I thought that the whole point of getting on a group plan was that it would be cheaper. I would be okay with it being the same as private but it makes absolutely zero sense to me that it would be almost twice as much... Anybody want to explain? Or are they just screwing us over?""

""Hit and Run, no witnesses, lying to insurance?""

So, I was with my girlfriend and we parallel parked in a space which we soon realized was restricted. So she pulls out of the space, too close to the delivery truck in front of her, and side swipes it on the way out. We pull off to the side, see no damage to the truck, but a huge gash in the side of her car. We decide to leave, since the only damage is hers. The next morning, she goes to the body shop to get the damage assessed. They tell her it is going to be over $4000 to repair. She decides to file it with insurance, saying that she had left her car parked on the street, and found it this way, assuming it was a hit and run in the opposite direction. Had she asked me before doing this, I probably would have advised against lying about it, but she has. So, the insurance inspector is coming to assess the damage in the next few days. My question is, how rigorous are these inspections? Will these guys be able to look at a gash in the side of her car, and tell that it was inflicted by her sideswiping a truck, not the other way around?""

I did save up some money from a previous job i have about 2400 which will ideally be used to buy a car and possibly pay the insurance for the year... or possibly use it to pay monthly.""

""Car insurance question. Help desperately needed, please!?""

Here's the situation. Before I start here, I will say I have never sold a car/transferred insurance in my life until now (I'm 37) and I'm panicking. (Please don't laugh; I am somewhat mentally disabled and have a hard time understanding business side of things). Please bear with me: I have a 2000 Chevrolet Malibu with 178,000 miles on it. Last Friday, my husband's brother decided to give his 2005 Hyundai Elantra (53,000 miles) to us as a free gift. We decided to sell the Malibu to some friends of ours (with whom we have been friends for quite a few years). My friends have already paid us and they have a Bill of Sale and next week we are getting a duplicate of the Chevy title in the mail (because we lost ours), at which time we will transfer. Here is where the confusion begins: My mother-in-law (who is a retired State Farm insurance agent) drew up a Bill of Sale that indicated as its last sentence at the end, Buyer will show proof of liability insurance at the time the car is received (or something like that; I don't have the Bill of Sale in front of me). We saw our friends today to get the Bill of Sale notarized (they already paid for the car; we're just waiting for the title for the Malibu to arrive via mail, as mentioned above). Their insurance agent is about 90 miles away, I find out, and will need pictures of the car. Our friends insist that my mother-in-law is just being a mom since we're new at such a transaction (our friends have owned and sold boats, cars, etc., so they are experienced at this, too), meaning that she's being overcautious by saying they need to present proof of liability insurance at the exact time I give them the keys to the car. So, once I give them the title and the keys, are they responsible for when they get the car insurance? My Hyundai is covered through my insurance agent (my mother-in-law called them and got coverage on it already), but she insists that I am not to get insurance verification on the Hyundai until the friends show proof of their insurance on the Malibu after they get possession of it. Is that correct, or is my mother-in-law just being overcautious? (I would think that once I switch the Malibu title to my friends' name and give them the keys, that would relieve me of any responsibility any longer to the Malibu). Help me, please. I am so confused; I have my mother-in-law telling me one thing, and my friends telling me another. Both sound correct. So would I be right if I did these (in this exact order): 1) switch the title over to their name & give them the keys to the Malibu. 2) call my insurance agent and report that I sold my Malibu, and ask them to type insurance vertification for the Hyundai. (would I have to be present in person for them to type the verification for the Hyundai? Also, would my report of me selling the Malibu mean that they would cancel the insurance on it immediately?) I am sorry this is so lengthy; I tried to explain this the best as I could. I just want to do what is correct in the eyes of the law.""

Will my insurance go up over one speeding ticket?

I live in Pennsylvania and have Traveler's insurance paid by my parents. About 2 days ago I got a speeding citation. The officer who pulled me over said they clocked me going 74MPH in a 55MPH zone. I did not dispute this because I know I was speeding and who could have missed the huge signs with the posted speed limit. Anyway I am only 17 years old. This is the first time I have ever been pulled over or got in any trouble on the road. Prior to this I had a perfect driving record. My dad has not gotten any traffic violations in over 30 years and my mom has never gotten any violations of any kind. My older sister who is 18 (also on our Traveler's insurance) has a perfect driving record as well. Do you think our insurance rates will go up considering this is my first ticket and everyone in my family has a PERFECT record except for the ticket of my dad's?
