Journal Side Entries: Bad Battle Memory

Heeeeeeey Journal.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmilk.

Sooo...I feel I should apologize to you.

First off - because this rambling little bit here is gonna be (shhh) a lttle meta again.

You know those drawings (?) really-REALLY-vivid details (?) PHOTOGRAPHS I put in these entries?

Well...the ones with action shots are gonna be a lot less frequent. It was easier to pull off with small time critters; but when each battle is a life-or-death struggle every second...fumbling with setting up an extra machine to get a nice shot while also trying to save my skin and defeat a monstrous monstrosity ..of...uh...a monster (well that one got away from me) is just REALLY hard journal.

Like...here's a few failed shots.

Now, this shot wasn't totally ruined thanks to the shadows at play which at least imply that these creatures coming at me have a much more impressive side-view than head-on view; but when I pressed my "Take-Photo-Right-Now" button their beautiful shining fins were glowing in the brilliant desert sun as they dashed in and out of the sands. If it weren't for the shadows you might think these sand-dwelling Marlin were worms with mohawks.

This one was particularly painful (literally, too, as you can see). When I hit the "Take-Photo-Right-Now" button the big creature you see in the shot (known as a Barnaby Jones okay fine it's known as Barroth) was in full profile, looking to the right with its mouth open and drooling in exasperation. I had no idea that it had enough agility in it to whip around and up-end me with its head-shovel-thing and send me rolling all in the time for my camera to take the photo.

Finally...

While trying to fight the Lazy Icarus Lagiacrus with some other hunters I tried to capture a picture when I was taking a break and healing up - but then it decided to roar and I think it broke my action-camera because you can see it took a really crazy picture with a lot of weird errors and stuff. So it's clearly broken now.

SO THAT'S MY LAME-O EXCUSE FOR NO MORE ACTION SHOTS. 

Bye-bye Journal I love you!
