Indeed, Margie was headed upstairs at 10 about the time that I was firing things up to begin play.<br \/>\nThat all said, and granted that it was 1:30 a.m. or so when <em>I<\/em> went up, it was both therapeutic and productive.  I did the respec on her to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hill-kleerup.org\/blog\/heroes\/2005\/09\/problem-child.html\">the &#8220;LC3&#8221; build<\/a>, and that worked pretty well for me against the Clockwork and Council I ran up against.  Did some time teaming with Toxin Infection (Rad\/Rad Def) from Exodus, which worked out quite nicely; Rad Infection  is da bomb for scrapper partners.  &#8220;It&#8217;s like a glowy pet!&#8221; we said, herding along one hapless cog from encounter to encounter &#8230;<br \/>\nUltimately (and why I ended up playing so long) I dinged to 16 (Unyielding &#8212; and just in time to get a Tsoo assignment as I signed off).  I also got the &#8220;Tough&#8221; badge (100K of damage, I believe), which was both gratifying and and a nice badge to wear IC.<br \/>\nI also took a title.  Titles are tough for non-traditional heroes.  I skipped over it last level, for just that reason.  Lynn isn&#8217;t the sort to call herself (or accept being called) &#8220;Wonderful&#8221; or &#8220;Heroic.&#8221;  I finally chose &#8220;The Awesome Lynn Calodo,&#8221; because if a teenage girl can&#8217;t calll herself &#8220;awesome,&#8221; who can.  Plus she&#8217;d get a kick thinking of it as being the same as &#8220;Awful.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I made up for a full day (and I mean a full &#8220;Working from home because there&#8217;s not a gap to drive to the office, and wiping out a battery&#8217;s worth of cell phone time on meetings, plus added meetings beyond that&#8221; day) of work, followed by house tidying, followed by a long meeting &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hill-kleerup.org\/blog\/heroes\/2005\/09\/a-dark-and-windy-night.html\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;A dark and windy night&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_seopress_titles_title":"","_seopress_titles_desc":"","_seopress_robots_index":"","_seopress_robots_follow":"","_seopress_robots_imageindex":"","_seopress_robots_snippet":"","_seopress_robots_primary_cat":"","_seopress_robots_breadcrumbs":"","_seopress_robots_freeze_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_custom_modified_date":"","_seopress_robots_canonical":"","_seopress_social_fb_title":"","_seopress_social_fb_desc":"","_seopress_social_fb_img":"","_seopress_social_fb_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_fb_img_height":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_title":"","_seopress_social_twitter_desc":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img":"","_seopress_social_twitter_img_attachment_id":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_width":0,"_seopress_social_twitter_img_height":0,"_seopress_redirections_value":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled":"","_seopress_redirections_enabled_regex":"","_seopress_redirections_logged_status":"","_seopress_redirections_param":"","_seopress_redirections_type":0,"_seopress_analysis_target_kw":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[6,5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-281","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-character-design","category-gameplay"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hill-kleerup.org\/blog\/heroes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hill-kleerup.org\/blog\/heroes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hill-kleerup.org\/blog\/heroes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hill-kleerup.org\/blog\/heroes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hill-kleerup.org\/blog\/heroes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=281"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hill-kleerup.org\/blog\/heroes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/281\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hill-kleerup.org\/blog\/heroes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=281"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hill-kleerup.org\/blog\/heroes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=281"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hill-kleerup.org\/blog\/heroes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=281"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
