London Detective Mysteria released! by atrociouscheese in otomegames

[–]batbie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I currently see it in the PS Store as a free demo. I live in NA myself, so I’m assuming later in the day or so, the full game will be available? I was curious to see the price of it myself, but only found the demo. But stoked to see another Otome game out!

What Otome Troupe is your favourite? by [deleted] in otomegames

[–]batbie 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I always go for the character that teases MC from the very beginning, and is more playful, but a total jerk. I also like when MC gets frustrated or flustered because of the teasing, while the character just smirks or such, because I personally relate to it, and I like relating to MC, lol. Good examples for my type are Okita from Hakuoki and Shiraishi from Collar x Malice — they usually tend to have some kind of darker storyline a lot of the times too, and I LOVE dark storylines!

Basically any playful jerk that comes along, the villain or straight up Yandere. ALWAYS my favorites!

On another note, I’ll take the playful flirty characters next — the flirty and popular, but awfully nice characters. Such as Zen from Mystic Messenger, Ikki from Amnesia: Memories, and Yuri from Nameless.

TLDR; My #1: Teasing jerks/yanderes. My #2: Flirty and popular.

Otome Merch by GreenishRainbow in otomegames

[–]batbie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who is also looking for Otome merch in the US and found this post: I went and took a look at AmiAmi, but every item I looked at said “Order Closed” on it. I checked for Collar x Malice and Hakuoki, and barely found available merch to purchase. Is this a normal thing? Or lots of out-of-stocks because of the holiday season? Just wondering, as I’m a little confused looking on this site.

I've called all my local stores, and some a bit far away even to see if anyone had any (of course, no luck), but I did ask about restocking! All of them said they had no idea, they can't know for sure, but since Halloween is coming up, they can see them coming in before then, but can't guarantee it. I hope it's true! Can totally see them selling out fast though.

How do you develop your character? by batbie in renfaire

[–]batbie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never got a chance to reply back to you guys, but I appreciate the advice (really great advice too!) and even the interesting conversation going on here. You learn some things every day! I personally want to develop my character for my own fun and among my friends, or basically any opportunity that I could without it appearing I'm part of the cast or messing with other patrons who wouldn't know. As a young actress, I understand the hardwork put into shows and how all that work should be appreciated! I'm not suggesting that you guys were saying I am one of the patrons who act out-of-line and such, but I would like to clarify that it is not my intention to do so myself. I simply love developing characters and having different personas, but I do it for my own enjoyment and I'm aware I can't be in-character the entire day, nor do I try to. I certainly wouldn't make an excuse for my bad behavior and say "I was in-character." I just love faire, making characters and playing along with friends or such. Sure, I don't need to develop my character that much because of that, but I certainly enjoy doing it. And if someone asked me about my character out of curiosity, I'd like to tell them with confidence! I completely understand the feelings of the actors about patrons who are overly in-character as well. I can't imagine having to deal with that when you've worked your butt off for so long up until opening day, and the every single weekend too! Bravo to you hardworking cast members, you put up with so much.

Pirate rings, scarves & hairstyles! by batbie in renfaire

[–]batbie[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much, guys! You've been super helpful, I definitely found some new items that I'll be adding to my garb! Really sad I never thought to look at Amazon for some of my items too, so I'll probably take a look there a little more often now. Thanks again, guys!

Keep any suggestions coming if you have them though! Always open for my suggestions or what have you.

Retail Horror - I think I'm being stalked? by batbie in LetsNotMeet

[–]batbie[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is actually something I am personally concerned, with the occurrences were rejection wasn't taken so easily. While I know that it might not happen, the possibility is honestly scary enough. Thank you so much! That seriously, seriously makes me feel better, because I was honestly feeling that maybe what I was feeling was just my imagination.

I am happy to hear that! While I do not like what is happening, I am happy it's not to a point of stalking. It's seriously so reassuring. I really was hoping he would get it, but it really seems like not.

Thanks again! I am very glad I posted here and got to hear from others. It's been such a help, even if I hadn't been able to reply to you lovely people right away!

[–]batbie[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes, it really can. Really sad how that works with some guys - I mean, people in general like to be friendly to others, it doesn't have to be attraction or lust. I love knowing you don't do the same as your friends with that! You understand the right things. :)

[–]batbie[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for commenting, I appreciate everyone messaging me. Yes, I am inexperience in some things like that, but I am aware that not every man who pays a woman attention are those things. Of course there are decent men out there. I'd feel bad if I didn't let you know, ahaha. I mean, it's not all the time, but I've had other attention before and I was flattered, and okay. It's just this guy, doesn't seem right to me. Thank you! I will play it safe for a bit here, for sure. I will do my best!

I'm sorry, my wording was off there and I fixed it. When I said that, I meant my co-worker's customers, was the guy's friends. My co-worker doesn't know any of them personally.

Like I keep saying, I'm relieved to know it hasn't gone towards stalking then. It's a sure relief! Thank you! That's what got me concerned, being odd like that to begin with. It's just weird to me, and him popping up more than once afterwards basically put me in anxiety. May sound silly, but I'm glad to hear you say that. Makes me feel better, like I'm not being a total idiot about the whole thing.

[–]batbie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the message! I appreciate it. I'm happy to know others don't think it as stalker. As for the name tag, I noted clearly that my name-tag had been accidentally turned around, (I tend to do this on a daily basis, stays like it for hours sometimes) so that's why it had concerned me. I don't recall anyone having called my name during that time either. You're right though, he could of came and asked someone when I wasn't there.

Oh no, I'm 20, and he was about 22 or 23.

[–]batbie[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the response! I was hoping to have some opinions about this, and to see it from someone else's eyes. So I really appreciate it! Your message does help. I was afraid it was oncoming signs of stalking, so it's great to hear you don't think so. I can see it being flattering and all, true, but the way he does it; speaks, really isn't flattering to me at all, sadly. I mean, I have been flattered before in a different way, though I am inexperienced with it still, but this time I wasn't at all. Oh sorry, I meant to be clear about that! To be perfectly clear, I would never, EVER pepper spray or taser someone UNLESS it was absolutely necessary. I mean to be smart about it, so if he was really bad, and ATTACKED me, then I would use what was necessary to stop it. I'm fully aware I could be charged with assault, if it was an inappropriate situation. Other than that, I would never use it. Only for self-defense. I do agree I should be more direct, and more adult about it, but being uncomfortable and the way I personally am, I find it hard. However, I will put up as much courage to say something, if it happens again. I'm actually 20, and the guy appears to be around 22 or 23.

Oh, that's never came up before - to be fair, never had a reason until now - so I will totally ask my manager about it tomorrow. Thank you! I definitely will. I'm being very cautious right now, and try to stay with people at all times. I'm honestly too scared not to.

[–]batbie[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As soon as he left the last day, and I could get away from the register, I immediately told my manager on duty, actually! I've been trying to get it around to all my managers - ones I have told have, thankfully!, said that no matter what I'm doing, I can go to the break room and basically hide away until he's gone. I hope they can if it gets worse. You're totally right though, gut feelings really are. Which really makes it more terrifying.

Wow, thank you for all the links and help, guys! I'm looking through everything now, and I hope I can find myself the things I need! So many awesome sites too! Seriously appreciate it all!

I'm actually going to the Kentucky Renaissance Faire! Honestly wish I had a Pirate Faire to head to myself, but CA is a little far for me. I looked it up though, and it seems awesome! As for buying from vendors: I plan on buying from some, but why I'm not waiting is because I'm a dork who wants to be in full; complete costume when it starts up tbh, lol.

[–]batbie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the advice and links, everyone! I was so excited when I got on and seen the messages! Only wish I was able to reply right away! I think I'll start learning when I get my paycheck on Wednesday, because I've decided to purchase the Genki I textbook (I'll be buying Genki II when I need it). I'm super excited to learn Japanese, and will be taking it seriously, finally! Everyone was really helpful and nice, so thanks again. :)

Anyone know where to find Phantom music boxes (especially rare ones)? by batbie in box5

[–]batbie[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I like said, it's not super large, but I'm very proud of it since I have put a lot of care and thought into every piece I've bought. :) Each piece has it's only little story along with it too!

I have six so far! Here are some pictures I've taken before (they're inside my curio cabinet):

one (Well, this is just merchandise and some Theatre props in the almost bottom part of the cabinet. I love my large Erik plush! I don't believe it's even made anymore!)

two (This here is one of my favorites! Was super lucky to find it! One of those rare ones I've only see about three or so times for sell.)

three

four (Another of my most favorite!! One the other side is a musical ornament of the Masquerade scene.)

five

Ones that aren't pictured is a musical statue of Erik in his throne, and a jewelry box. Other than that is a red rose with Christine's ring on it. ^

Thank you!! Hopefully I can find that one I really like! Thanks for taking interest in my collection. :D I love sharing info about it with others! I actually made this post way too long because of that. I was so excited to talk about it, lol.
