\"Maerina\"

– Jassper’s been busy – Laid up or not — This is “Maerina – {Dressed to Kill?” }-<\/em><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n

— We’ve been looking in on Jassper – His ‘minor surgery’ had some minor complications that needed a visit to the emergency room. Then, he tells us, he pretty much conked out for sixteen hours. & maybe he felt a bit guilty about not doing much in the game world recently, and modified a couple characters, planted lots of flowers (and weeds) – fiddled with settings and even read some of the advanced instructions.<\/p>\n

— Maerina looks impressed, doesn’t she?<\/p>\n

— He might also have been slightly ‘under the influence’ of at least adrenaline when he admitted to us that he deleted half an area that he was working on, and that might have been a little bit of motivation – ya think? [ We can tease him now, he fell asleep after taking some really mild pain killers – Ibuprofen, I think – ]<\/p>\n

\"Maerina

– [ Maerina – Cropped & still Dressed to Kill ] –<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/div>— This shot, hopefully to the right here – Should give us some better detail.<\/p>\n

— They warned me, this blog has some quirks that nobody expected, and weird size reduction on ‘media’ is one of them —<\/p>\n

—And hey, yeah, he changed her eye colour and gave her a new hairdo with some light blue highlights and the character, who just looked like a mischievous kid before now looks a little more grown-up and possibly a bit more mischievous.<\/p>\n

— She’s supposed to be an ‘Ottarian’ – the racial name sometimes has an ‘h’ in it somewhere. They’re supposedly evolved from otters, are playful, bright, acquisitive, and not really oozing with wisdom all of the time. As family units they are also quite playful – very nurturing, and form deep loving bonds with their mates and families. [ Tell Jim I read his background descriptions, okay? ]<\/p>\n

— They’re supposed to have claws that are nothing like the ‘Wolverine’s from the X-men, but especially mothers are so protective they know exactly where to dig those claws into somebody who might be threatening their children or anyone else they care about –<\/p>\n

— & They also ‘go along with the myth’ that a little bit of hard work – can actually kill them. They pass out when exhausted and look like they even stop breathing. Rumours are they practice pretending to be unconscious with their eyes wide open.<\/p>\n

— Yup, so I finally showed up and added to this blog, have a heckuva nice day, or night, or whatever, and not just one – um, ‘have a good life?’<\/p>\n
