Rank 5 - Have Wings, Will Fly

When I logged on to FFXI, it felt like I had just started all over again. I didn't know anyone, and I didn't know why I was there. Didn't know the people in the Linkshell, and when I made an attempt in making a remark, there wasn't any response. Friends on my friend list weren't in there, and at least more than half are "dead".

I unequipped it, as I ran around Jeuno, wandering aimlessly. I received plenty of invites, all of which I turned down. I had no mood.

Logged and returned in an hour or so. As I was farming a little with my NPC, Tarfur asked me to go meet him at Windurst. So, after my NPC took his leave, I boarded the airship, forgetting the fact that he could have easily warped to Jeuno.

He traded to me the pearl for Orestia's LS, which is the one almost everyone else I know have been in, since the "conflict". With nothing else to do, we sat around the fountain in Windurst Woods, and just chatted. Here's a screenshot.



After my quick lunch, I hinted to him about rank 5. I told him that I knew the way, and thus we set off to do it. That really killed my boredom. I never get more joy from doing anything else other than helping people. Rank 5, genkai 3, PLing, you know.

Everything went smoothly. After all, I've done these countless number of times. Maybe I should start working as a guide, lol. But then again, no, I don't want gil involved. It's free! Rid me of my boredom and I offer you any help you need. Within my abilities, of course.

When we finished everything it was like 4:30 A.M. for him. I honestly wouldn't stay up till that time if I have school that morning. But, rank 5, pretty exciting, eh? An airship pass! Who would resist?

Ah, really looking forward to all the new games. Shadow Hearts: From the New World, Grandia 3, Tales of the Abyss, Kingdom Hearts II, Final Fantasy XII, Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus, just to name a few. And also, Final Fantasy IV, V and VI for the GameBoy Advance. Can't wait to see how's Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid is going to end, too.

Oh, and I received the codex for Ballista Royale from the NPC. Next scheduled match is on 22 December, 21:00 PDT. Should be correct, considering it appeared as 23 December, 12 noon, Singapore time.
