Whence Blows the Wind

Congratulations to Heavensfury! We've won the second match of the Ballista Royale, meaning that 2 more victories and we'll be representing Lakshmi!

The match didn't start out quite well, considering that I was the first to die (sob), and the opposing team scored 8 petras right at the start. But, the tide of battle changed, and we were almost always in the lead for the remaining of the match.

Really good teamwork, and according to Sotori, we didn't even have to communicate much. That can't be more true. Later we came up with a tactic, for the white mage to cast invisible on himself and stealthily sneak up to the rook to score once we obtained gate breach status. That worked perfectly. In fact, Raskin, our white mage was the high scorer! Cool stuff.

When I saw that there was 1 minute remaining to the end of the match, I knew that we were going to win for sure. Final score was 35-17. Haha, totally owned, all thanks to our wonderful teamwork, and skill this time round.

At least the opposing team members were sporting losers. So unlike the previous match's losers, where they continued ranting on about how we had won because of luck. Sure, it may be luck, but that just means we were luckier. Hah.

I couldn't help smiling when the match ended. Was in really high spirits, and lost for words. Didn't care that I was going to miss lunch. Our victory ceased my hunger.

I helped out a friend after that for his paladin AF2, which, at first, he died miserably from the pugil's Screwdriver attack. So he zoned back to Jeuno, called for additional help, a 75 thief, and we proceed to whoop the mob easily.

Ligerzero, or Willis, for that matter, has gotten back to play FFXI once again. Full of surprises. He's now an Elvaan warrior. I'm not used to see him as that. Ah, but it's good to have someone that I know play the game. At least, it feels different.

Let's win again next week. Although Raskin said he couldn't make it, we do hope that he could take a half day leave or something. He's the best white mage one could ever meet. And so is everyone else in the team, including the backups for giving their fullest support, heh.

Tomorrow, some concert performance we have to watch, as part of our school's post exams activities. Doesn't seem appealing, but honestly, anywhere outside the school is fine with me.

Guess I'm done with my rants. Until then... see ya.
