Probablities suck. 1/64 chance of getting a rare item drop and after slaughtering more than a THOUSAND of that monster, I still only have 1. Damn you, FF4! Damn you flan princesses!
Meh. leave me alone while I gurmble. That's right, gurmble.
Got a testimonial from the chem cher. Two of them, actually. Here's the fake one, word for word except for my name because I am a paranoid jackass.
"Yamame Shinta has requested a reference from me in my capacity as his Year 12 Chemistry teacher during 2006.
An ongoing concern throughout the year has been my preventing Shinta accessing the explosive materials in the Chemistry store room. This has been successfully achieved, but only through constant vigilance.
Shinta has established an enviable reputation as a 'slippery eel', and has developed the skills of entry as a cat burglar to a very high degree. He has been known to 'turn the tables' during lunch periods with the help of generally undesirable peers, on the occasions when some of his feral feline foibles get the better of him.
Shinta has derived considerable enjoyment from convincingly 'kicking butt' in his class assessments, and has the uncanny knack of surpassing his peers' efforts. They intend to collectively get even with him, but Shinta will always be a step, or three, ahead of them. A significantly large part of Shinta's class time is spent thinking up 'curly' questions in order to outsmart his teachers. Chemistry is no exception here, and the Chemistry laboratory now has a broad selection of tertiary level texts to counter this challenge.
Shinta has the ability to have a talented career in the future. If he chooses to stay on the right side of the law, humanity will benefit enormously. If the other side is Shinta's choice, then the community will only survive under lockdown and curfew conditions.
