Russ' Updates #073: Opening March

Good evening, Darlings!

It's the rare (not really) 29th of February today. *nods* With that comes March tomorrow, and with March comes an entirely new Russie Feautres character. I'm actually hella excited to have her for this month, because she's very dear and close to my heart.

"Hello."

Aether's back! She's going to be here for the month of March, and will be popping up constantly through the various shorts and graphics I have planned for her. ^_^ Considering the fact that I've changed it up with her (with the whole Coalesce revamp) quite a lot, I'm pretty excited to show you guys what exactly those changes are.

Anyway, expect your usual Russie Features posts this week, and maybe a book review if I mange to finish what I'm currently reading. In addition, I might just be posting yet another RRC thing if I get the inspiration and/or drive to. ;w;

That's all for this week! Enjoy the first week of March <3

“You have a really shitty dedication to work,” Marion noted. Ansel said nothing and kept working at his computer, typing at lightning speed while muttering some incomprehensible words under his breath. Marion assumed that they were very technical, video-oriented jargon. “When’s that even due?”

“It’s his long-term project,” Jae-hwang mused from beside Ansel. The Korean, whose hair was now dyed a brilliant shade of teal, watched as the spectacled male kept typing and typing as the seconds passed. “You should have seen him yesterday, M. He was nearly in tears when the fucking program gave him the rainbow wheel of death.”

(At the word death, Ansel gave a small, pathetic noise.)

“The program almost died?”

“Yup. Ansel was going to to start yelling if it weren’t for the program then choosing to spare him.” Jae-hwang paused, “I swear to God he backed up nearly all his files into the first two external drives he grabbed from his bag.” Despite the joking tone in his voice, Marion couldn’t help but give Ansel a worried expression.

Russie Reviews: A Thousand Pieces of You [Claudia Grey]

Marguerite Caine's mission is simple. 

Join Theo Beck. Use her mother's invention, the Firebird, to jump into another dimension. Hunt down Paul Markov and kill him for killing her father. Return to her family and grieve. 

But it isn't that easy. Not at all. 

Throughout jumping into different dimensions and meeting different versions of Paul, Marguerite finds herself doubting whether he had really killed her father in the first place, as well as questioning her own feelings for him.

Good evening, Darlings! Tonight, I'll be reviewing Claudia Gray's A Thousand Pieces of You (ATPOY). Feel free to continue reading if you're interested! However, if you haven't read the book yet, be wary of potential spoilers. As always, however, I shall try to lessen them as much as I can.

Enjoy!

Russ' Updates #072: New Ideas

Good evening, Darlings! I hope it's not blazing hot wherever you are right now. We're sort of close to the end of February, but the sun pretty much decided to roast everyone already. :--(

Anyway, I'm a little proud of myself for managing to post all the things I said I'd post last week. *throws confetti* Hopefully, I'll be able to do the same for this week, seeing as the 25th (this Thursday) is a national holiday! Expect a small something to be posted, yeah? :) 

"I can't wait for my arc. *squee*"

February is ending pretty soon, and that means saying goodbye to the month's Russie Features character for now. Don't fret, though - Kyong will continue to make appearances, and we'll eventually get to know more about her own individual story as well. ;D 

Anyway, if you follow Roth's blog (which you should), you may notice in her latest RWU that she mentioned both of us working on an entirely new project together. I'm very happy to confirm that yes, we're working on something hella new and hella special! I wouldn't want to say much because we only started around two weeks ago, but I can already tell that it's going to be fantastic.

That's all for this week!

Jin-kyong’s Apartment

Atlanta, GA

United States of America

December 2016

“Kyongsies?”

Jin-kyong barely lifted her head. The sound of footsteps filled the apartment and Song Hae-jin peeked at the form on the couch, a paper bag of takeout food in her arms. “Hae-won and Eun-seok are coming in a bit,” she continued despite the lack of answer from the other girl. “Eun-seok told me that you needed help getting your apartment back in top shape.”

“I don’t need help.” Despite that, Hae-jin set the paper bag down on the coffee table and searched for the cleaning supplies. “Hae-jin…”

“Don’t worry about it, Kyongsies.” She paused to look at the other and flashed a small, genuine smile. “I’ll get it done. You can stay there and rest all you want while we wait for the other two to arrive. Okay?”

The darker-haired model’s expression didn’t change. She merely gave a brief nod and turned on her side, curling up on the couch and pulling the blankets over her head. The smile on her face disappearing, Hae-jin sighed and resumed looking for the necessary tools needed in order to tidy up the other’s apartment.

In the span of an hour, Hae-jin had managed to make the place a little more decent. She had done a quick sweep of the floor and wiped off the counters, humming softly as she picked up whatever trash she could find and throwing it away. In the bathroom, she had wiped whatever she could, spraying a can of air freshener wherever she could.

Hae-jin wondered if cleaning up Jin-kyong’s bedroom was a good idea and for the moment, decided against it. She was left staring at the white door. “She isn’t staying in her own room for some reason,” she muttered, then took a chance and decided to come in.

From the couch, Jin-kyong barely stirred.
