Even More Random! (Now with photos!)

Something of a continuation of last night's post. I realized I forgot to mention something that amused me at work yesterday. There was a big end-of-summer party for all the members at the outdoor pool, so there was food and music and tons of people. So I'm sitting around the kiddie pool, contemplating some Isaac/Raphael stuff that may eventually get typed up, when 'YMCA' comes on over the sound system. This was amusing on two fronts - one, the overwhelming gay of that song, and two, the fact that my place of employment is like the YMCA except for richer, and overwhelmingly Jewish. We're the Jewish YMCA, pretty much.

Oh, and I realized that not everyone got the flash video reference I made last posts, so here's a link. Now imagine Futomimi sounding like the Russians there (everyone other than the three SMT fans reading this, substitute stern glaring man of your choice - Nagare or Tezuka, for instance - to get the same effect).

Also, I crave Hamlet/Horatio and Dante/Virgil (or Virgil/Dante, I really don't know who tops there). There needs to be more fic for both these pairings! Particularly stuff that isn't written by me for D/V.

And now, photo time! Mostly of where I work, because I think Jo and Grace are the only two of my friends to have ever been inside, although with two of me and my newly finished waistcoat

Some Assorted Shinra's Finest Stuff

Because I love how Asher got recruited to be a Turk, and it's not going to come up in-game any more (actually, not sure it would have anyway, he's a bit embarassed by it). Also some random stuff I meant to post earlier, I think.

Asher, before becoming a Turk, was a thief. Started with picking pockets, but he moved on to houses, largely on the upper plate. Not quite the best house robber ever, but he was pretty good. He made the mistake of trying to break into Drake's penthouse, not really knowing that Drake was the leader of the Turks and all. Drake, being an awesome old guy, caught him, and gave him three options - being a Turk, being turned over to the police, or trying to get out again. And while Asher is not always the sharpest tool in the shed, he knows better than to mess with a guy with a revolver who actually managed to catch him, and took the Turk option.

As for the second part - I got bored one day last winter and picked out BPAL scents for a bunch of the characters - Hoth and Hadrian aren't on there because I didn't (and still don't) have a good feel for their characters, and a few were hard to find good ones for. But here it is, for anyone curious.
