Name: "Inkadia"
Hook: Animated characters only, no forced humanization or the like.

Setting: A huge, sprawling metropolis surrounded by a thick, eldrich forest and an impenetrable wall (the Fourth Wall, naturally). In the center of the city is the inkwell, constantly full of churning black ink. Inkadia starts off as just the city and the surrounding forest, but as events happen within the game, the wall will slowly begin to expand -- and the city with it -- to reveal more parts of the world for the characters to explore.

Characters who arrive will climb out of the fountain and be greeted by what looks to be a living drawing of a person, who tells them they're in Inkadia, gives them their comm and then directs them to where the piece of their home world that they brought has turned up.

'Residents' (always capitalized) are the benign NPCs of the city -- they run all the stores and establishments and what have you that aren't player run. Each one looks exactly the same -- like a simplistic drawing of a person, with no discernible gender or features outside of the bare minimum needed to make a face.

The city is run by the Mayor -- a young woman, dressed in military lolita clothes, who seems to know everything there is to know about the city and a lot more besides. She makes vague references occasionally to a city and a mayor that existed before, and delights in trolling the shit out of all the characters in the city. Sometimes, she'll actually do something mayoral, but most of the time she just sits around in her office, watching TV and eating snacks.

Characters who arrive in the city do so with nothing but the clothes on their back and missing any items or weapons they may have had with them beforehand. However, can earn their items back, by doing little 'favours' for the Mayor -- that might be anything from baking her a cake, to going into the forest and taking down a rouge Ink Monster. Once the task is completed, the character receives a ticket that they can hand in for one (1) totally free, no strings attached power regain! And if you save up enough of these tickets, you can even bring another part of your home world to Inkadia! Isn't she a fantastic mayor?

Thanks to the sudden disappearance of all triple A batteries from the shelves of the stores in my home town, I've managed to miss out on delivering unto you guys a bunch of unboxings; since my last update, I managed to get my hands on figma Kawamura Yuu (who comes with THE BEST accessories!), figma Sengoku Nadeko and an awesome PVC figure of Nekomura Iroha! You guys seriously don't know how much I love Iroha. :| So when I saw she had a cheap PVC statue of her Kittyler outfit, and that it was going for about £15 on Mandarake, you can bet your ass that I placed a order every time she popped up until I managed to get one. Right now, she's sat on my computer desk and I can't help but grin when I look at her. XD

Also, I managed to snag figma Kuroi Mato from the BRS OVA off Mandarake (seeing a trend? XD) for 5880 yen including shipping so hopefully, she'll have an unboxing soon!

As an apology for being so late with figma Homura's review, have some crappy photos of Iroha I took with my DSi just now. Sorry for the awful quality, they're the best I could do!

Lastly, after I've reviewed figma Homura, who should I review next? Just follow the link to my LJ and pick in the poll~

Much to my delight, my two Mandarake orders arrived two days ago; figma BRS2015 and Cheerful Japan (which I only just realized is a pun of 'Cheer for Japan' GO ME) Miku. I was planning to do an unboxing like I usually do, except the batteries for my camera died and I can't find any new ones. So, a review it is!

You'll have to make do with old photos, I'm afraid, my camera still doesn't have any batteries. |D;

gluttonousangel: (OMG FIGMA)
(old post, x-posted from my LJ account.)

Allow me to begin by saying that my icon very neatly mirrors the face I made when I opened the HUGE BOX OF WONDERS that I got in the mail yesterday. The wonderful shigure at MyFigureCollection decided to be amazingly generous and sent me figma Append Miku and figma Mirai Sunega! They arrived in the post yesterday (and the box was fuckhuge, seriously.) So after dancing around like the eternal child that I am, I prepared some scissors and got ready to unbox that shit.



BOX!





Hey, compared to that box, this one is pretty impressive, right?



Not at all? Okay then...



SNIP DAT SHIT



[opens box like a Fable protagonist]



And here are the boxes, all wrapped up neatly.

Now, I must confess that I was an awful blogger right here, as Ihad to pause for a moment in order to -- if you'll pardon my french -- freak the fuck out. Because as I pulled the boxes out, I was surprised to find a third box at the bottom. As they were all wrapped in the brown paper you can see in the picture, I couldn't identify any of the figures at first. But the bottom one was a larger figma box and was therefore Append Miku.

One of the boxes was Mirai Sunega.

So what was the one that I had hold of now?



IT ONLY TURNED OUT TO BE HOMURA MOTHERFUCKIN' AKEMI

Seriously, you guys should have seen me freaking out about it. Shigure had heard about my trouble with getting my own Homura order delivered and so sent along one of his as well as the other two figures, just because there was room in the box.

I have the warm fuzzies.

ANYWAY.

Sorry for the crappy image quality; I did this unboxing at about half five at night and I had to take the photos by the light of my bulb which gave them an icky orange hue that I managed to remove in photoshop.

But I digress.




Mirai Sunega Unboxing )






Append Miku Unboxing )



Homura Akemi Unboxing )

That's all for today! Tomorrow, I'll be able to get some better shots. Once I do, I'll get around to reviewing them all.

Thanks for reading! o/

I took these a couple weeks back when my figma Kaname Madoka arrived from Japan and since figma Homura is on her way (or will be, once Bastardforce Parcelforce stop fucking around) I thought I'd put together the snaps I took from Madoka's unboxing. Also starring figma Kagura Aya (whose head is on figma Yuki's body at the moment..) and figma Kouyou Haruhi! I didn't manage to get her accessories as well, since my camera battery was dying but rest assured, figma Homura will have a much more in-depth unboxing (and review!)

Click here to see the unboxing! )
That's all for now. Next time; the Unboxing (and review) of figma Akemi Homura!

SOMETHING

DONE


oh okay fine

so I'm at college right now and apparently dw isn't blocked here, unlike lj? It's a nice surprise even if the dreaded 'THIS PAGE IS BLOCKED' keeps cropping up when I try to view certain things (how is my addme entry offensive, Bloxx? YOU JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND ME) buttt I can still do most things so I guess I will be marginally more entertained when my friends all piss off to ASDA at lunch (speaking of ASDA, is it just me or do their cupcakes taste like wallpaper paste? I got one a while back and the cupcake itself was all soft and squishy in a bad way and the icing was icky)

I guess I'm kinda mad at my friends today (*cue world's tiniest violin*) since we're supposed to be doing filming and they're just sort of dicking around and looking up UV makeup on the net. Which would be fine if it was what we needed for our movie but we're all in different groups so :/

And when I'm like "uh can we like, get to what we need to do" the girl in my group is all "Oh I told you what we were doing before but you were just messing around." Uh no, you told me that we needed a bunch of shit that we couldn't get then you started nattering on about stuff that the other group needed and whenever I try to offer assistance, you all ignore me.

Thanks guys. Real pleased for ya.

Christ, did I just whine on for three paragraphs about how I'm mad at my friends? I guess I really am too used to LJ. I'd better say something positive to counteract the whining.

Uh... my birthday is Feb 1st? Is that positive? I'm looking forward to it since we'll be going on a shopping trip in Preston the day after. Hopefully I'll be able to pick up some good stuff; last year I almost got Evangelion 2.22 from HMV but they don't sell anime anymore (at my local one) for some reason. Is some delicious Eva too much to ask for?

Anyway, I'm rambling, so I'd better sign off. This was a good way to kill

*checks clock*

Six minutes, I guess

(I typo'd 'six' as 'sicks' and 'sex' before I managed to get it right just now. I think I need a break.)

Tally ho.
