My ears are still feeling uncomfortably squishy. I don't think there's any hearing deterioration, but how do you tell? I suspect it's due to hayfever. If they're not feeling any better tomorrow, I'm booking an appointment with my GP.

QA changes meeting today went well. I raised a couple of points which hadn't otherwise been spotted, which is always a positive feeling.

Am in the middle of doing an Exalted chunk: was typing "bring back the days of tribalism" and accidentally typed "bring back the days of tribadism". I almost wish that had got through without me or anyone else noticing it, just because.

incandescens: Hm, what is the Bangaa Motivation in this?
CondorJo: Conquest. For too long, they've been the war dogs of the human monarchy
incandescens: (I mean, there's always the very secretive carnivore practices -- it's not cannibals if it's not your own species...)
incandescens: Ahhh, yes.
incandescens: While smiling cheerfully and affecting a stupid hiss, they've been plotting for the day they SEIZE POWER.
CondorJo: (interspecies carnivorism aside)
incandescens: We clearly agree on that one. ;-)
incandescens: "What happened to the moogle prisoner, Ssith?" "He ... ran away." "And where did you get that stew?" "Rabbitssss."
CondorJo: In my party, I have a Bangaa Templar. He's best friends with my anal-retetentive Paladin. I think Bellini's kind of a rare breed, though. I have another bangaa in my party who, kind of unnerves me. I think he'd eat the others if given a chance
incandescens: Those helmets they have the Dragoons and Gladiators wearing? They're not helmets. They're muzzles.
CondorJo: CREEPY!
incandescens: You can only train the hostility and aggression so high before you have to take precautions.
CondorJo: The bishops and templars are the ones in charge of those lower-ranking agressive nutcases
incandescens: Yup.
incandescens: The bishops do the high-level planning.
CondorJo: Of course, no bangaa EVER speaks of this to non-bangaa
incandescens: Of _course_ not.
incandescens: Except ... over dinner.

Oh man re: IM conversation. I totally played that game with my Final Fantasy Tactics/Tactics Advanced party. Though the startling thing is that in FFXII the bangaa are actually some of the nicest people you meet in the game. They keep adopting little orphan children and gossiping with you! They Vaan make his escapes after stealing shit in the market place! They're actually about on a whole the most personable of the non-hume races. ...while still looking scary as hell when all decked out in armor and making the worst boss battles ever with their dragoon abilities.
