Strictly speaking, there are 6 major Russians, 5 of which were there (though one was only "on-camera" very briefly). But, yes, that's otherwise quite accurate. I actually managed to surprise myself by having "Maybe I can teach you how to dance":

  • Mean exactly what you would assume it to mean (ie no cripples involved, or anything like that)
  • Be both spoken and interpreted positively
  • Be a really sad line (at least to me)

Kasbulatov doesn't count, he gets about 5 lines every other appearance.

And Rocket Red's not angsty enough to be considered a Russian.

But, yes, I basically gave Ekk one of the two worst days of his life, the other one being when he lost his three parental figures (he heard Aleksander got blown up, was told Izolda had hung herself, and watched Stephen get shot) and left his entire life behind to flee Russia with only the clothes on his back and a holy sword. By extension, this made the day bad for Anastasia and Anton, and that's before Komorov got involved.

Well, the story isn't over yet, but I can say that assuming you guys don't get him killed in either part of the finale, he's on his way to a much happier ending than I originally intended him to get.

Hey, turns out I'm going to be late this weekend; my sister's graduating this weekend. I'll be later on Saturday than on Friday. Hell, on Friday, I'd probably arrive in that interval between 9:00 and when the game actually starts.

And before you say anything, I just found out about this today.

Anyone who assigns themselves loads of character tropes is someone to be worried about.

That's alright. You are not essential to either storyline.

Reminder: we're playing both nights this week, then taking next week off since I will be on the road. Once I get back, it'll be time for the two-part finale! grin

As an update to my previous post: due to some logistical screwups, my schedule changed a bit for this weekend. I'm not leaving until tomorrow afternoon. Hopefully I will arrive early enough to get settled into the hotel and ready to play at 9:00. I don't know exactly how long the trip is going to take, though, so I may be late.

Saturday evening should work out fine. I think.

OK. SO. Ironeye, tell me what you think about this. I was listening to my Zune and This popped up, and my brain filled with an Anton and Ekk Photo montage...

Good? Bad? Crazy?

I can't decide who's the saviour, and who's the downfall though.

I mean, In a spiritual/Mental manner, Ekk is the saviour, acting as a sort of Morality Chain, while Physically gets captured like, every day, and thus anton is the saviour :/

Isn't it obvious? They're both the savior. What kind of yaoi fangirl are you if you don't know that's how the best couples work? The seme saves the uke from physical danger, and the uke saves the seme from himself.
