Pentagrams in the night sky

shadowhiveLike I mentioned in the last post I decided to start The Chant last night. I picked the limited edition up when it was on sale months ago and then, other than installing it, did nothing with it. I kept meaning to go on it and got distracted by various things.
So last night I decided to finally start it. I played through the prologue (a flashback to an event in the 70’s) and the first chapter (set in the present day). As yet it’s mostly set up so it’s hard to judge, but it seems like an interesting concept. I wonder if the guy in the present running the retreat actually knows about what happened in the past and is trying to make it happen (which is some cosmic horror thing) or if what’s gonna happen is unintentional on his part. I guess we’ll see. (I was gonna do more tonight but I dunno if I will)
I woke up this morning feeling so rough, I felt like I was gonna be sick a few times but thankfully wasn’t. Thankfully it eased up after resting a bit, though it came back briefly tonight. I dunno what caused it, because it’s not as if I ate anything strange or anything,
Maybe it was to do with the storm that came today, because it was strong with heavy rain and thunder. Both cats had gone missing and I was worried they were caught out in it. Usually I wouldn’t worry about Midna but last night she was still outside so I thought it might be the case. (Especially since she seemed to be nowhere in the house) thankfully she was just hiding somewhere. Leia on the other hand was outside and had got soaking. I only found her (about 10 minutes before the Zelda dnd was due to start) when I went to the shed to check if she was there. Sure enough there she was, soaking wet, and I had to grab her and bring her in (much to her reluctance). I dunno why she has to be so incredibly stubborn like that.
Speaking of Zelda dnd, it was fun again. Damn I have to admire James and not just for his voice but how he just draws from everything (and the dialogue, damn). It’s honestly so impressive. It always makes me so excited to see what’s gonna happen next. (And yeah, Zora’s domain seems to be next so of course I’m gonna be excited for that too)
After not doing Zelda yesterday I did a little today and, after wandering around a bit randomly exploring, decided to actually head to Rito village to continue the story. Only, oops, all I managed was to arrive, do the shrine and meet the cute tiny Rito. I guess I’ll find out what’s actually going on tomorrow.
I checked the cinema listings for the local cinema again only to realise that spiderverse isn’t on this week like ithought so it seems this weekend might have been the last showing which is kinda sucky. But we’ll see. It also seems I missed out on watching the rest of the empty man, as it’s no longer on the all4 player. It’s also not… anywhere and I can’t seem to find it anywhere other than paid Amazon prime. There doesn’t even seem to be a physical version which is very strange. So I guess I won’t be able to find out what happens which is a shame.
I found out tonight that Lovejoy’s Isle Of Wight set had been recorded and at least one song would be on tv tonight. So I diverted what I planned to watch to tune in. Turns out one song from the set was on (The Fall) but damn it was worth it to see sweaty Wilbur (and it is one of my fav songs of theirs). I hope the highlight shows on sky arts show another song or two as well.
I did end up continuing to watch the rest of the coverage, which was mostly Robbie Williams’ set and damn, he can still put on a show. I’ve seen him a few times with mum and he’s always pretty fun and entertaining. I’m glad he played No Regrets, which is one of my favs.
I might do a stuff you love post tomorrow (probably an album one since I’ve thought of doing one for awhile) and then the rest of the week is kinda unknown. I wanna do more Zelda (of course) and more of The Chant, plus there’s LOTR coming to Magic Arena too. And we might be heading out though that depends on the weather and I’m sure there’s something else I’m missing too.
Yeah I’m definitely too tired for more of The Chant tonight, bleh.

The pair of you during that confrontation at the forge yesterday, I was sure my fave was like this the whole time 😮Me too (and I so wanna give forte a hug before we head there!) I’m just hoping this time my body doesn’t decide to screw up because it always seems to decide ‘ohh Zelda session? Let’s make you feel headachy/sick/blah beforehand!’

Date: 2023-06-19 08:32 pm (UTC)I'm so glad you're enjoying the campaign! If there's any backstory stuff you've figured out since we started playing that you want me to know about for when we go to Zora's Domain feel free to hit me up and I can work it in, otherwise I'll just try to give you fun stuff to get to use your abilities :D

I know I have a few things noted but I never came up with much (so I’m gonna brain storm and then add it to character sheet because I totally missed the bio page of it when I worked on it) oh yay fun stuff!💙
I’m also gonna try and see if using the laptop camera works next time. I’m so annoyed that the pad seems to hate discord for some reason (or it decides to work and then when I move it to a better angle it’s like ‘nope!’)
