(For the all-but-two? -three? of you who don't speak Flight Rising, ownership of that Boolean there is a huge accomplishment. There's only about 80 - 100 of them in existence, and no more will be created. As such, they only go up for sale rarely, and they are *extremely* expensive. I have been saving up for this for *years*. (How many years depends on how you count, given things like "selling off previous expensive-things-I'd-spent-ages-saving-for to raise funds, since those other things are easier to come by and I can buy them back later" and "taking a lot of hiatuses from Flight Rising, including an entire straight year from December 2016 - December 2017".))

Awkwardly, I'm not actually in phase with Flight Rising at the moment. (I *was* playing Crawl, but playing such a keyboard-focused game on an unfamiliar keyboard would be difficult, so I haven't played anything except the Star Seeker demo in a couple days.) But I knew I couldn't let the opportunity slip through my fingers, and I can still feel the echo of a more resonant self's joy, and the awareness that future selves will get to have it.
(even more awkwardly, the original seller I was negotiating with dropped completely off the face of Sornieth while I was in the midst of liquidating, and never responded to my announcement that I'd acquired enough pure currency for the purchase. I actually bought the Boolean from *another* owner who came out of the woodwork upon seeing that announcement. so while this is nowhere near the *most* high-drama Boolean handoff I've ever seen, it's not the lowest either. I walked the tightrope as best I could, giving the original seller first dibs (a ten-day exclusivity period, counting from the time of the second offer) without alienating the second seller, and *so* far nobody has blown up over it. may it continue to go so well.)

But in any case, I own a Boolean now!
Next Flight Rising goal: obtain the four familiars of the *second*-highest rarity. (The four of them combined will probably cost somewhere around 50% - 60% of the Boolean's cost.) I'm well on my way to a 100% complete familiar collection!
