hilsNot a lot going on at the moment. I've pretty much settled back into my regular routine after getting back from Scotland.
Met my friend Emma for an outdoor lunch on Saturday which was nice. We got takeout food and sat in the park. We ended up chatting for nearly 6 hours. The novelty of in-person interaction after only talking on Zoom for over a year. I think we're going to make it a regular thing, weather permitting. Neither of us particularly wants to sit in a cafe or restaurant yet. It was fine when I was visiting my parents in a small Scottish village but I live in a city and it was SO CROWDED when I went into town to meet Emma, even just outside. I don't even want to think about what inside places are like.
Guess who is recruiting again? We had a good few weeks where we were fully staffed and now someone has found a job elsewhere so we're back at it again. At least it's for a Mon-Fri role. Those are always easier to fill than the roles involving shift work.
In fandom news I have finished Mass Effect and Mass Effect 2. Started Mass Effect 3 yesterday and considering how much I've played these games on my old PS3 it's amazing how much I've forgotten. It's also interesting that my tastes have apparently changed over the years. For those who aren't aware one of the things that makes these games so popular is you have the option to form a romantic relationship with one of several characters, and some of those romances span multiple games. It's fun. I had a very set favourite option but when I played it this time I just didn't want to romance the guy I usually pick in Mass Effect 2. So, I chose someone else, with zero regrets.
I've really loved playing these games again. They are some of my favourites of all time. But I am missing watching dramas. I haven't watched anything since we finished Word of Honor. I'm looking forward to finishing Mass Effect 3 so I can go back to watching things again. There are several options for what to choose first. I'll have to see if Jacqui wants to join me and if she has any opinions.
And, I have posted another fic.
Title: Smiles Await You When You Rise
Fandom: The Lost Tomb Reboot
Pairing: Wu Xie/Zhang Qiling/Wang Pangzi
Rating: General Audiences
Summary: “Of course it’ll work,” Pangzi replies with a firm confidence that Wu Xie wishes he felt himself. “Now kiss him, and then we can all go home.”
Wu Xie takes a breath to steady himself, then leans down and brushes his lips over Xiaoge’s. Then he kisses him more firmly, just so the curse isn’t in any doubt about whether this is an actual kiss or not. He pulls back and waits.
Xiaoge doesn’t wake up.

And, I have posted another fic.

I wish I knew more about Lost Tomb so I could read the fic and understand it because, like with all your other work I've read, I'm sure it's amazing!!
