Ah~. :/ Even though it was a distant death, my condolences all the same. You do have a point - at least it wasn't close, but death is death, so it's never the best news to hear, y'know?
Ah~. That's handy. XD I think I've played the game, like, twice with friends so far, so my character's probably pre-early hard mode (though I was able to pick up some pretty cool loot from my friends, so that's nice)
XDDDD Yeah, I definitely feel you. It does seem a lot like it. That and the harder work and more unforgiving teachers, it seems. Like, they're nice, but man are they hard markers. And I'm glad to hear about the kitties.
Is the young kitten an adult now, or is he still pretty young? (I'm trying to remember his name, but it seems I can't for the life of me. Hooray for shitty memory)
