Welcome to Filler Meeting the Mermaid Princess RP Guild.

Filler 6 - Final Quarter 2025
BGM: Other Side of the Mirror
User Image

Narrator's Editorial:
The idea of the fillers was originally to just give me a break from my usual duties. As such, filler are typically (thought not always) done faster and with less effort (actually varies considerably)

= Filler Part 5: Future of the Mermaid Princess RP Guild
Narrator: Hello there and welcome to another Filler so to close out 2025 when the time comes in December 2025. Then I'll be talking about about the Mermaid Princess RP Guild and and what to expect for next year.

But first. I'll need to go over what's been happening and why the silent PMs and replies. So its best for me to explain what happened... Starting with June 2025.


= Filler Discussion 1: Wedding Trip Woes Conclusion*
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
Narrator: First there was the Wedding Day Trip in the family that I had to attend which was rough and tiring as there was the rehearsal dinner and the overformal attire as I could barely move in a dress suit. Despite being in the spring but weeks away from summer and the rain that I faced.
That wedding trip in the family was good and bad sometimes as it felt polarizing in contrast. Which caused burnout following after the return.


= Post Wedding Trip Sickness

Narrator: Next came a coughing tired exhaustion that lasted for 2 weeks as my folks caught it. I was really tried. I'll admit that it took me about 2-3 weeks to recover from it.

= Windows 11 Upgrade
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
Narrator: Then came July & August where I get a notification where Windows 10 ends in October 14 as it states "Enroll in Extended Security Updates to help keep your device secure."
As such, my PC meets the minimum specs for a Windows 11 upgrade but my old laptop for my summer home was too dead in the water to continue so to speak. So after countless searches for a new Laptop Computer, I found one at a good labor day/back to school sale.

However, when I got the new laptop, setting it up was a bit of a hassle to get done. But that wasn't the end of it because after Windows 11 was ready on the laptop, that's when I ran into one of the main cruxes as its a selling point.
Being one you make the move to Windows 11, you can't walk away from the initial setup with a local account, you must use a Microsoft account, that is of course, after buying a new computer..

*Pest Control in the bedroom*
Narrator: The Craziness doesn't end there as the silverfish roaches, flies and bugs in my room went completely out hand as the flyswatter and even resorting to tissue paper wasn't going to be enough. So I searched everywhere in hopes of getting a bug vacuum to deal with these unwanted pests before flies, spiders and roaches really annoy me. So I got one with a protective cap system as it'll cause the bug to suffocate and die out when caught.
As mentioned before, Bug Vacuums are also household method of Pest Control. When I got it and charged, it worked better than I thought it would.


*State of Home PC*
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
Narrator: As for the current home computer, Windows 10 is set to end as I may have to switch to Windows 11. However, when upgrading to Windows 11 on a Minimum or Maximum Spec PC, any windows OS that use a Local Account maybe retained.
So a New Laptop Windows 11 on sale would be around $1,200 and in case you're wondering, a Tower PC Windows 11 on sale would cost around $1,600 to $1,700. So Computer and Laptop Repairs are getting costly nowadays.


*PC Filter Checking*
User Image
Narrator: Also in June, I got a Keyboard Vacuum for my PC which also works on Dust Filters and it has a filter that can be washed and reused. The thing is, after washing the Filter for the Vacuum, I would need a dry surface cloth to put it on so as it dries overtime and after using a paper towel or toilet paper to dry off its damp surfaces, I would still need to let it try.
So to make sure it dries off, I use a stopwatch to keep track and when its dry enough, I can put it back in the vacuum for use again.

= Guild Updates: You Wish Special
Narrator: Speaking of the mermaid princess, you're probably wondering about that. Well, the You Wish Poll has started as in the recruiting section as its a 6 Straight Tie for 1st on the Winning Vote on who stole the conch shell in the You Wish Special.

User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
Narrator: As for I plan to handle it in 2026, I may have slow replies as I may need to locate some assets for the OOC Gallery.
Its worth nothing that my replies maybe delayed or slowed as I would be preoccupied with other things such as Virtual Machines or the PS5 to name an example.


User Image
Narrator: Speaking of OOC Galleries on the Food and Drink Second, I hope to find all the food and drink images from Burger Shop 3 when I can because considering my love for that game. For granted, I enjoy its menu list of food items in all 3 Games. Such as Tacos, Brownies, Pudding, Cheeseburgers & Ice Cream.

*Sleepless Days*
User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.
Narrator: During the whole Wedding Recovery Days and Trips. I sometimes had sleepless nights as I checked my phone for notifications on Castles or other apps and sometimes watch YouTube. So, that left me sleeping in after 1AM or 6AM and waking up around 10AM.

Narrator: After Game Show Marathon 2025 is done, I'll be taking some time off from the Game Lab in order to reflect on future Game Lab Assets. As for the Rules of the Game for Nick Arcade & GUTS, those will have to wait as since I'm watching Nick Knacks on YT and that documentary has to reach its 1992 Season Arc in order to get there as that was the year GUTS and Nick Arcade was released.

= Guild Updates: Character stories
Narrator: As for what I plan to do. I haven't given it much thought. However, with the introduction of Character Story Arcs in the Specials section, it sounds like a good idea but I still have the rest of Silana's arcs to get through before deciding on the next arc. So don't worry. I'm not giving up on the countless stories sitcom concept. Its just that I've been tired after running around during these family gatherings & laptop repairs that happened which derailed several processes.

So even though I don't have something to show for it in a reply, I have been making strides despite the RL Difficulties I've faced and I hope to show something as a Reply or PM effort but at the end of the day only time will tell.


OOC: We can continue the RP

No, you don't bother anyone.
As I mentioned, my plans to reply is when I can do so unless something makes it impossible for me to do so in which it gets delayed.
