It worked!
I love it when a determined effort to bring yourself out of a black mood pays off.

ratzeo came to my office to meet me for my lunch break. I was late getting back from a meeting, and so he had to wait a while in the reception area - cue speculation about "that cute boy" from co-workers, mostly married and/or older women, who were delighted to meet my boyfriend. Because apparently my boy makes quite a splash. ♥

We spent the hour walking around campus, enjoying the gorgeous sunshine and fresh air (and, of course, talking about Warmakers).

And then when I got back, a co-worker sliced up a watermelon she had brought to share with the office. Delicious. :D~

It's not that these things wouldn't have happened without me telling myself to cheer up. But determining to make myself happier put me in a better mood to receive good things, which in turn made the good things even better. And now I ♥ the world.

	Planning the storming of Hell? :D (Reply to this) (Thread)

	And the showdown with Tiamat! Not to mention the support/interference he wants to run in Ichiro's battle ... Heck, Gunnar will have his fingers in everyone's pies! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You'd think Ichiro would want to face down his father without help. Not that that would be the wise thing to do... so it's good that Gunnar wants to help him ;) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I think he was ready to sacrifice his ego for the sake of survival ... I seem to remember a plan (before we knew about splitting up for the final adventure) wherein Gunnar was hidden in Ichiro's pocket dimension. XD (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	He did tell Reika that he would want them to "go into the very jaws of Hell" to get him back of he died. Reika, knowing her final task, but him not knowing it yet (er, mostly because his players wasn't there), failed her diplomacy check and laughed at him. Also, she has an easier way to do it.

	lols So Ichiro gets what he wants, but gets his ego deflated because he gets laughed at? Sounds familiar. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hey, is conquering Hell and making a stronghold there going to make us the Queens of Hell? (Cos, you know Nariko is supposed to kill the current Lord of Hell.) Because that would be HOT. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	YES. I guess that means Sae would know what she wanted to do after the war. "Oh, you know, finish school, catch up with my parents, become a Queen of Hell ..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Why can't you do all of those? We could invite our parents to our Hell Palace for dinner! And have slumber parties with our classmates! We'll totally rule the school. And Hell. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh, I plan to. I wonder if ruling Hell (and keeping the evil in check) will make Father Raballo approve of his protege's girlfriend. (Reply to this) (Parent)

I've never heard or seen Hell typified as a pleasant place in any respect so I don't know how well a slumber party in Hell would go over.

I can just imagine it. "Okay, girls will be in this room, guy in that room. Oh and there will be Pit Fiends patrolling the corridor so guys, don't even THINK of sneaking into the girls' room. Also, at the baths be sure to choose the ones that aren't corrosive and/or poisonous. Dinner will be served at 7 and will feature rotting corpses. Enjoy your stay here."

	Well, Reika probably has the Diplomacy to make that sound like a luxurious resort, so I'm sure we'll be fine. XD (Reply to this) (Parent)
