Hey look! A REASON TO GET A DS!
Yosh, I like Megaman (Or Rockman, which actually sounds better personally) much better than other games like Pokemon or Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts or some shiz. (The shooting spirit in me will NEVER DIE! RAWR!) That or I'm a sucker for power ranger/Sailor Moon-like transformations, such as Digimon Frontier. XD The plot is actually quite....generic. (Well NOT really, but it seems so in that trailer, it's actually quite complicated)
And the kids do not matter, that awesome bishie blonde sempai guy with the glasses (and then the visor) isth AWESOME! Too bad he dies, oh well. (granted I should actually have a trailer of the actual gameplay instead of some anime-like thing but then you wouldn't witness the awesome coolness of Giro! [The blonde dude])

Here's a mini-rant!
People DO draw me things, I will acknowledge that.
However, people don't exactly finish my requests, which is rather different.
Maybe my ideas to be seen in a picture isn't fun for them to draw.
And they would rather use their own imagination.
So WHY OH WHY DO THEY FINISH REQUESTS FOR OTHER PEOPLE SO FAST, BUT NOT I?
Is it because my requests are not only a hassle, but pretty hard to do? I don't really think so...
I mean if someone requests something from ME, which is rare, I usually just finish on the spot. (Granted I don't colour anymore, but still)
It's been eight months for one, four for another. The last is only say a few weeks, and despite their workload, can actually finish some requests faster than the other two.
And it's not like I request ALL THE TIME, in fact I only do it because they somehow insist they have to pay me back for something, so I give them some random description for them to draw.
Well if you really have no time at all or no will to do said requests, don't bother paying me back, then.
Because otherwise, I don't really request, at all.
And perhaps this is the reason why.
And sometimes their requests are overdue so much that I might have moved onto another fandom by the time they finish, and end up drawing something I no longer want.
It is an annoying thing...

I DREW STUFF! Because lately I've been Soldat'ing with many ridiculous bots, I ended up drawing Kazumi in some kind of army gear. (but not too much or she'll look fatter than she is, which is not really attractive, ALSO because she actually does look "thicker" than she really is in her school uniform already, what with cameras, camcorders, notebooks, pencils, and other random devices on her)
Yeah, I still very much suck at drawing though. >>
Please ignore the random lines all over her. Pretend she just walked through a rose bush or something, xD. Or that she angered Ako or something so she was attacked by several syringes. Also I gave her a hat, not a helmet. In Soldat you either have a helmet, hat, or nothing, but in actual war it's either a helmet or nothing, I doubt a hat can really protect people, but whatever, Kazumi wears a hat to war. I like to think that if you wear nothing, you're a really good soldier, but if you wear a helmet, you're a beginner and need more protection, and you don't have the agility of a person without one. Perhaps a hat is midway, maybe the hat protects part of the head, the most important part? In that case Ako also wears a hat, Sayo wears a helmet, and Yuuna obviously nothing. (You can understand Sayo's part more in the last statement I have before the link to teh story! XP)
Next time I'll probably draw Yuuna in army gear or something about her with war. (MUCH more appropriate with her, though Asakura could be like a spy or some intelligence raider thing...something...no...?)
-
Yes, EVERYONE HAS DONE THIS TEST.
But I haven't stuck it in an LJ post yet, xD.
And because it's picture is screwing up the entry, I'll just write it down in NEAT HAPPY TEXT.
"I'm a Ravenclaw!"
Yosh, Harry Potter, blahs. I was actually sorting the Negima people in the groups too, the important people are that Sayo is definitely a Hufflepuff, Yuuna a Gryffindor, Ako is hard, so I just threw her in Ravenclaw, oh wells, and Kazumi is absolutely guaranteed a Slytherin. Rawr. Otherwise, I do not like Harry Potter, XD.
In other NEWS, DID YOU KNOW THAT WHEN YOU TRY TO WRITE LONG ENTRIES IT GETS REALLY LAGGY!? IT'S SO VERY ANNOYING! OH YES, and here is a random screenshot from my game and my story behind it:
After playing several games, watching the horrible AI of the bots, such as Kazumi running towards 10 enemies by herself when we already have the flag, so she basically did it for absolutely no reason, and obviously was killed. Or several bots, most particular Yuuna in some maps can't seem to jump onto the ledge the flag is on and yet use up all their jet (but they never actually JUMP) trying to. By far the funniest of all pathetic games was the screenshot above.
Twenty bots in a small map, me with my favourite characters versus some tough opponents. (Naturally Mana is good in a shooting game, lol) The bots had severe stupidity in terms of scoring, since I hate scoring I often throw the flag at a bot to do it, and if they're on the ground in front of the ledge, they will spend quite a large amount of time trying to jump ONTO the ledge. Not only that but all the other bots suddenly get the mentality that THEY HAVE TO PROTECT THE ONE WITH THE FLAG OMGZ, so instead of keeping red team from invading our base, they hang around like druggies and a drug dealer with the flag carrier.
Naturally the 10 enemy bots of red will all storm in at once, and at a struggle to keep them back since we're all packed in a small map, LOTS OF TEAMKILLING. When you throw a grenade and you're standing INCREDIBLY close to five other bots, ALL THE BOTS WILL EXPLODE FROM THE GRENADE AND DIE. Then the flag flies around and the red try to retrieve their own flag, but because there are so many of them there and bullets are flying all over the place, THEY ALSO DIE. So there was quite a while where the flags were just sitting there being blown around while everybody around them die, or if they managed to grab the flag, die right after touching it.
So after that game I've learned to never play with so many bots in that particular map. Since the spawn point is so cramp, once you spawn and then suddenly see an enemy, you throw a grenade but all your buddies are right next to you. You end up kamikazing your own teammates. If you would like to know, ALL THE kills and deaths and suicides (well suicides don't really count) that are currently on the right side of said screenshot, THEY ARE ALL TEAMKILLS besides Nodoka killing me. Thankfully I managed to grab the flag and throw it to the only bot alive at the time, Chisame, and after dying the bot managed to score to win the game.
(The only reason we won by such a large margin was that the red kept killing each other when we went to grab their flag, but they did have a lot more kills than us, XD)
And yes, Sayo only had four kills. *cough*

YOSH! I FINALLY FINISHED THE NEXT CHAPTER! The second half isn't too funny, but bare with me, whenever I try to advance the plot the humour mysteriously disappears. xD
Chapter 23: Feast
The sky was completely black since the sun had gone down. There was no animal in sight outside the otter holt, but there was quite a ruckus coming from inside of it. Deep within the home of Yuuna’s father, there were several otters living there, and Yuuna and her friends were invited to stay for dinner. Although the only reason such a dinner was so extravagant was basically for the canary.
”Oh great canary, our precious friend…what wise advice do you give to us inferior otters in the deadly competition for survival these days?” An anonymous otter asked, bowing in front of Kazumi who was stuffing a great amount of food in her mouth. She had fell in love with the otter’s trademark food, clams, and so had consumed a great amount.
Kazumi thought, “You need advice to survive? Oh gee, how about thinking before you go places…from what Yuuna told me about how you even got here…”
”I’M TELLING YOU! I SAW THAT THING WHEN I WAS DOING MY 1400KM SWIM UP TO FIND LAND!”
”What the HELL are you talking about, Haruna!?”
The penguin pointed at all the animals listening to her true story, “You see, I am a penguin, and as you know, penguins don’t live around here.”
”Hm, I didn’t see any penguins in my travels around the world…” Yue added, “so I was wondering where you came from.”
”That’s because when you went around the world, you forgot one very big place…” Haruna started, “this is the origin of the only penguin that lives this far up north…”
When I was younger, I was living in a very cold place. A place where only my kind, some white Chisames, fish, and our greatest enemy ever lived, I was swimming to the bottom of the ocean after I heard rumours of the most beautifully crafted stick ever sat down there, and unfortunately after halfway down the water I realized I would obviously need air, and that the penguins who told me that rumour were those giant mean penguins, so…I was tricked.
So I—
”OKAY! Time’s up! Next animal goes up for story time!”
”But I wasn’t finished!” Haruna yelled, “c’mon!”
”Next up is another one of that canary’s accomplices, this HAMSTER!” A random otter yelled, acting as the ‘host’. Natsumi got up on the large rock which was their stage.
”I’m going to tell you the story of the time-travelling panda…”
”The TIME-TRAVELLING PANDA!?”
Ako asked, “Um, what’s time-travelling? What’s a panda!?”
Natsumi pointed, “I will explain in this play! Lights off, please!”
The otter covered up the hole that held many fireflies, and then took off a smaller drape from another hole, housing a smaller amount of fireflies.
”Once upon a time, in the distant future, there lived a panda. The legendary panda is said to be the one responsible for the sudden amount of high-tech human ‘machinery’. I learned that word from Chisame-san! Anyway…”
Ku Fei suddenly stepped onto the stage, covered in black soot and white clam cream, “Rawr! I am a panda-aru!”
”The panda is a kind of bear, but to the humans, they regarded them as much cuter and not as scary as a bear. Bears are scary, you know.”
”I’m not as scary as a bear-aruyo!” Ku Fei said.
”One day a human came and saw this panda munching on some bamboo, which is some stick-looking things, but it’s not important.”
A fox took to the stage, “I am a human. This is dumb, but whatever.”
”Then the human thought:”
Chisame said, “What a cute looking panda. We are researching time travel, maybe this will be a suitable test subject.”
”Time travel is basically…travelling in time. Say you ate a carrot yesterday, but today you realize eating it is bad, so you can go back to when you ate that carrot and maybe stop yourself. That is travelling through time. Anyway…”
”Now to test this…” Chisame said, and she poorly acted pulling a lever. The fox was not very enthusiastic about participating in this play.
Haruna screamed out, “BZZZTTITHITHUJSHKJASFHAJKGABABABABAA!”
”What the hell, Haruna?” Yue spat.
”I’m the sound effects!”
”And then SUDDENLY, THE PANDA…”
”OH NO-ARUYO!”
”…TRAVELLED BACK IN TIME!”
”GASP!”
”How the hell is this story even interesting!?” Chisame growled, “You all KNEW SHE WAS GOING TO TRAVEL BACK IN TIME! Seriously…”
Immediately after, a pig jumped onto the large slab of rock and cried out, “AND I, THE MYSTERIOUS PIG, WILL SAVE THE PANDA!”
”You’re not in this story…” Natsumi murmured.
”Wooo! GO MYSTERIOUS PIG! YAY!” Haruna cheered, “Whooo!”
WHAM!
A powerful sound vibrated throughout the den, and its source was
”Staying up too late would be dangerous, so it’s time to retire. You can all continue that…interesting play tomorrow,”
The otters all suddenly disappeared into their respective holes and went to sleep.
”Ah, thanks!” Haruna said as she jumped into the hole first, “Ooooh, comfy.”
”Um, Akashi-sama? Where is Yuuna-san?” Ako asked, but her voice was but a squeak.
”Ah, she was injured from that cheetah, remember? She is resting…against her will, missing half of the feast, but she is resting in any case. I got a lot of work now, sleep well!” The chief left their ‘hole’ and walked off towards a long tunnel within the otter den.
Suddenly, many random otters ran into the guest hole, rudely waking up all the…guests.
”What the hell!? We’re trying to sleep! The soft fur of Chizuru is really comfy!”
”Teehee.”
”Ah, we have come here to tell the great canary that we have created your own hole, so much more comfortable than this piece of sh—“
”NO SWEARING!”
THWACK!
”You get the point, so canary, please come this way…”
”Um, I prefer staying here…thanks anyway.”
”Yes but that hole is so much more comfortable, with free drinks and lots more clams…”
”That sounds nice…but I really just want to sleep. Clams for breakfast, maybe?” Kazumi’s eyes looked hopeful, but overall she was doubting the breakfast.
The otter bowed and walked off in a polite manner, indicating that Kazumi’s hope was lost.
”They all love you, Kazumi! Can you ask them to give me lots of frozen fish, PLEEEEEEASE!?” Haruna asked.
”You’re already pretty plump!”
”Are you calling me FAT!?”
”No, I’m just saying you already seem fu—“
Haruna pointed with her favourite stick at the canary, “THOSE WHO CALL ME FAT ARE NEVER FORGIVEN! EVER!”
”But I never called you—“
”AND ONE MORE THING, I CAN EASILY EAT YOU INSTEAD, YOU KNOW!”
Kazumi sighed, “But your diet is strictly fis—“
”WHICH MEANS I AM A PREDATOR BIRD! AND TINY LITTLE INSIGNIFICANT BIRDS LIKE YOU ARE THE MOST EATEN AFTER FISH!”
Ako ran and hid behind Setsuna, then realized how big the bird was, then ran off and hid behind Konoka.
”What about insects—“
”DON’T INTERRUPT MY SPEECH, YUE! WE PENGUINS LIVE IN A COLD AND LONELY CLIMATE, SO WE NEED TO BE A LITTLE BIGGER TO SURVIVE!”
Suddenly, they heard a knock from the top of the hole, “Uh, you guys are being awfully loud. If you don’t settle down we’ll be forced to throw you out besides the canary.”
”You see? All your interruptions of my speech are annoying the otters, so shut up and let’s sleep.”
Setsuna blushed as the koala leaned onto her wing for some more comfort within the rather large guest hole. Konoka yawned as she spoke, “Haruna-chan gets crazier everyday, huh?”
”Y-yeah…that’s true…O-Ojou-sama…”
After several minutes passed, all the animals were sound asleep. All the fireflies had escaped too, causing the whole den to be completely black. The canary got up, hearing no rustle or mumble to indicate that any animal might still be awake. She jumped out of the hole and headed to the entrance, seemingly talking to herself, but in reality, speaking to a spirit.
”So what’s this you’re saying about Chisame being in danger?”
Sayo whispered, even though she really didn’t need to, “I’ll say more outside…”
-
Meanwhile, Yuuna the otter was also not completely asleep in her hole as every other otter was. She was angry that she missed out on all the fun in the feast, and also that all the otters were more excited over some canary, while she did understand them about that, than herself, the daughter of the otter chief. Most of her anger was for missing the feast however, as after she jumped out of the hole, the whole Kazumi-praising thing seemed to have disappeared within her mind. The otter decided to go off and have some fun herself.
-
”There were two humans you guys bumped into after coming out of the vet, remember?” Sayo explained, “They were r-really scary…and it’s really d-dark…so I might f-forget things because…u-um…”
”’cause you’re scared, Sayo-chan?” Kazumi finished for her.
”I guess…it’s silly, isn’t it Kazumi-san? Since I’ve been a spirit for so long, but I never got over my fears…”
Kazumi jumped on a stone near
”Ah, um, see, you know that Chisame is a—“
Out of the blue, another voice echoed in the air along with theirs, and it certainly wasn’t recognizable. The canary looked up to see an animal hidden with the darkness of the night. She certainly didn’t have the eyesight like a cat like Ku Fei would to clearly see this mysterious stranger.
”Fufufu…for a very vulnerable animal, isn’t it dangerous to be standing outside alone, Kazumi?”
”Eh? Who is that, how do you know my name? Can you see her, Sayo-chan?”
Sayo had immediately jumped behind the canary, shivering a bit in fear, shaking her head, “I…I can s-see in the dark…K-Kazumi-san, but I can’t really s-see…that animal…”
”That’s odd…”
The animal smiled sinisterly, continuing, “You were watching a play about the time-travelling panda. It is no legend, Kazumi. Such creature exists.”
”And how would you know that?”
”Let’s just say a friend of mine seen her…or are actually friends with one.”
The canary stepped back as the shadow of the animal seemed to grow larger, “And you believe her?”
”I have to believe her, Kazumi, mostly because…I am that time-travelling animal.”
Kazumi jumped off the rock, although certainly not as afraid to the extent of the ghost behind her, she got a chilling feeling about this newly arrived animal.
”You see, I’ve come for you. I need your help, in fact, I wish for you to join me. There is something I must accomplish,” The supposed panda stated.
”But I barely even know you. Why would I all of the sudden help you?”
The panda laughed, and through the mist and darkness, pointed her paw at the bird, “Because you have no choice, ne!”
-
Back within the hole, Ku Fei was out like a log on the dirt, and from the looks of her body language, was definitely having a fantastic dream. Ako was sleeping on the tiger’s warm fur, as the cold air seeped into the den. A sudden scent started to wisp around the hole, and the tiger’s sensitive nose definitely picked it up.
”Mmmm…I smell…I smell niiiiiiiikuman-aru…” The tiger suddenly got up, a smile appeared on her face, yet her eyelids did not move an inch. She was sleepwalking towards this fascinating scent. Ako had not noticed the movement of her ‘bed’, and was still in a deep sleep on the fur of the striped wildcat.
The feline leapt out of the hole, and proceeded to leave the whole den entirely outside in the night.
-
Yuuna jumped from rock to rock on the Shore of Kappa Lake. To avoid running past her father’s hole, she decided to leave by the emergency back door of the den, and was splashing about in the water. The sting from her injuries was very much still there, so she didn’t bother to start sliding or anything more extreme.
”I hope that stupid cheetah bites her tongue and dies,” Yuuna said out loud, as she tried to leap onto another rock. She slipped and fell into the water, jumping out of the lake and shaking the water off.
”Awwww, it’s just no fun without other animals to play…hmm. Wait a minute; I hear talking from the other side of the den…”
The otter pounced on a clam shell, and eating the leftover inside contents. After throwing it away, she decided to head over to the entrance of the den, where the talking seemed to come from. As she approached the area, she noticed a tiger clumsily walk out of the entrance.
”Kuu? Ako? They look like zombies or something!”
Yuuna smacked Ku Fei’s head with a flat rock, waking up the tiger; however it angered the cat so much she had almost bitten Yuuna’s tail off.
”Well you were wandering around out here like a stupid beaver who accidentally chewed a tree wrong! And to otters calling another one a beaver is a REAL insult!”
”Yes, I very much realize that-aru.”
The smaller of the two looked at Ako still amazingly asleep on Ku Fei’s back, “We should put her back…what’s that sound?”
”Oh! It’s coming from where the smell of nikuman’s source is-aruyo!”
They jumped over the corner and saw something that made even Ku Fei swear.
”What the (BLEEP!)-ARUNE!?!?”
-
Ku Laozi: IT’S THE THIRD EDITION OF KU LAOZI’S GREAT ADVICE-ARUYO!
Haruna: I’m starting to think it’s not so great anymore, y’know…
Chisame: Can someone tell me again WHY WE’RE DOING THIS AT THE HOSPITAL!?
Ku Laozi: Well since Asakura is also in the hospital and we don’t have enough actors, I decided to give advice about hospitals-aru! MY FIRST ADVICE! ALWAYS WASH YOUR HANDS-ARUKA! HERE IS AKO, WASHING HER HANDS-ARU!
Ako: Why are you here!?
Haruna: Because, for some strange mysterious reason, Asakura broke her leg and fractured her skull, in turn also getting some brain damage, so we’re here to visit her and Yuuna while we’re at it!
Misora: And we also came here because you suffered a black eye from our director-- *gets hit by a microphone* OW! WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?
Sayo: NO BREAKING THE FOURTH WALL!
Misora: But we ALWAYS DO-- *gets hit by a director’s chair* HOLY (BLEEP!) THAT HURTS!
Sayo: Oh my god! I’m sorry! Did that hurt!? Why did I throw that in the first place!? I don’t remember anything! WHERE’S ASAKURA-SAN!? WHY ARE WE IN A HOSPITAL!?!?!?!?
Ku Laozi: Kindly give the chair back to Sayo or we can’t continue this, aruka!
Sayo: You want me to sit on this? But why would I—HEY! NO SLACKING OFF THE JOB! KEEP ACTING, DAMNIT! OR YOU’RE ALL FIRED!
Ku Laozi: We are CURRENTLY in Yuuna’s room-aruyo! And here is an example of not washing your hands; you get all these DARK MARKS ALL OVER YOUR BODY-ARUYO! It’s like the BIRD FLU!!!
Yuuna: No, these are the burns I got from when I touched the—
Ku Laozi: DON’T COME NEAR ME YOU SICKO-ARU! YOU’RE EXTREMELY CONTAGIOUS-ARUYO! ANOTHER ADVICE IS THAT IF A VERY CONTAGIOUS PERSON WITH AIDS IS COMING AT YOU IN HORRIFIC SPEEDS OF TEN KILOMETRES AN HOUR, YOU MUST PULL OUT GUN-ARUKA! *pulls out a gun*
Yuuna: What the HELL!? And you just said I had the BIRD FLU five seconds ago!
Yue: And you cannot get AIDS from being touched, you need to--
Haruna: Where did YOU come from!?
Yue: I’m supposed to be this week’s guest, but no one bothered to introduce me.
Kazumi: Because the announcer is in a wheelchair.
Haruna: Aren’t YOU the announcer?
Kazumi: No, I’m not the announcer, though I’m also coincidentally in a wheelchair. Actually the nurse said I got brain damage so I’m probably going to act random and dumb and…retarded, like this, “UGGGGGGGGGRRRROOOORRRRR”
Ku Laozi: OH NO-ARU! AND THERE’S A PERSON WHO HAS COME TO TAKE MY BRAIN CELLS! IF WE WANT TO STAY SMART AND NOT GET MAD COW DISEASE, WE MUST SHOOT THESE EVIL PEOPLE, KIDS! *fires a rifle and several rounds of bullets destroy the whole hospital room*
Misora: WOW HARUNA! That was some awesome realistic special effects! Even this bullet in my shoulder feels so real that it’s actually bleeding out fake blood and that I actually feel PAIN!
Haruna: Er…
Yue: Am I the only one who feels that this most probably offended a lot of people out there? Not only that, but the great amount of violence sure doesn’t make it feel like a kid-friendly environment.
Ako: Don’t be silly, kids love violence. By the way, no adorable innocent puppies, kitties, and little kids were harmed in the making of this omake, just a bunch of actors you see in the background, now to get back in character. *pulls out a giant syringe* KU FEI! YOU JUST PUMPED TEN BULLETS INTO YUUNA!!!!
Sayo: THIS OMAKE IS OVER! Excuse me as I go kill the writers, namely Ku Fei, of these omakes. *gets up from chair* OH MY GOD! WHAT HAPPENED!? ASAKURA-SAN!? ARE YOU ALIVE—
Ku Laozi: NEXT TIME ON KU LAOZI’S ADVICE FOR KIDS, HOW TO DEFEND YOURSELF FROM RAMPAGING OOC YURICON NURSES AND GHOSTS! BYE FOR NOW, KIDS-ARUYO! *runs off*
-
No it was not funny…but at least I wrote something. Hooray for that! If you haven’t noticed by now, hurting favourite characters = fun. Indeed.
And finally in the end I have some random hamster pictures to show to the WORLD!
Asako is ADORABLE here, srsly. Wow. And yes most of his pictures are sleeping pictures, Asako is always too fast to get a decent photo, unlike the camera hog Otter.
This picture has some pretty good quality. When the box I stick in the bin starts to make the place really smell, I throw it away and temporarily replace it with the ball until I get a new one.
Which enables awesome photos like these, XP
Otter in the broken wheel, which has now become just a random toy.
Another good quality picture of Otter taking a nap (and being woken up) on his living bed.
OMGZ I FINALLY CAUGHT ONE OF THEM RUNNING ON THE WHEEL! (Usually hard to get a picture, they do it only briefly at night time) Lately Otter's been much more active than Asako, who got much lazier, though strangely enough Asako still moves the fastest when I hold him and Otter. So he's harder to hold.
A TRUE BALL OF FLUFF!
Not entirely original, but getting a good picture of Asako is hard, so original enough, ne?
Usually a sign of respect among hamsters (or so I've heard) is when they groom each other. Asako is grooming Otter, 8D.
Here's a real good shot of Asako, upside-down in the picture, but you can really see his mottled patterns on his back and face!
Yes, I put them in the bathtub. Don't worry, the tub was mostly dry, I tried to get rid of the small puddles with a towel but some mysteriously did not dry off, but the hamsters didn't get wet (besides their feet).
I am very proud of this photo. Not only is it NOT blurry, but it's of BOTH the hamsters in ONE picture in a place you don't usually see a hamster! That is just AWESOME!
Anyway, YES FINALLY THAT IS ALL. All this makes up for lack of updates in the last six days (okay that isn't too long, but whatever, xD)
Buhbai for NAO! XP. I WANT KAZUMISAYO!
R-POTE: Kaede/Konoka
