Gaaaaah, so much untranslated Japanese...! Is anyone a native here? I know I'm not XD;; Would you mind signposting; labelling which words/sentences translate to what? You can mimic my or Starfire's format or make your own, but please... translate... @_@;;;;;;;

Wat timezone are you, if it's so late? o.o

Jasper...why you call Itzel Tasha?! Itzel wanna strangle you!!!!! XD

I say that because now everyone is not referring to her as Tasha now....even on presence part of the RP skeleton is that it is Tasha. I am anticipating the reaction of when they find out it is Itzel XD.

Itzel is only nice so far because she is afraid Tasha will haunt her dreams....as it is a belief in Native American terms when it comes to paranormal...somewhat.

(I am studying them so I may have been misinformed somewhere)

In defense of my RPC, he basically called her Tasha because he knew that "technically" the invite was for Tasha and not for Itzel. He knows who she is, knows why she's replacing her sister, and out of respect for these things he knows, he is trying to (in his own way) make sure she's treated every bit the same as Tasha would have been. No worries, assuming she doesn't just drag him off and demand that he explain himself, was gonna have him take her aside and not only apologize but tell her basically what I'm telling you now. That he knows and the fact that he does know is why he wanted to keep it on the downlow, essentially out of respect for the....grieving? Those left behind? You get the idea.


Uuuuh....can I just ask how he knows Tasha is dead? Sorry for being too realistic but I would think someone in Britain would suddenly know one of his friends in pokemon is 'dead'. I would think that if she was offline for a long time (Actually just a few days until Nintendo sends in the letters), meant she is too busy in life or....whatever the cause.

Sorry for being so....soo...uuugh! It's so late where I am at! I should be in bed but no.....XD

A perfectly valid question, and one I'd already worked out when I had him introduce himself to Itzel. To make a long story short, he mentions seeing a picture. True. He said he saw it in basically a tabloid magazine....not entirely true. Basically when Tasha vanished, he did a search. Found the obituary, saw pics of Tasha and Itzel, and found out basically how and when she'd died.

Imma just help you out by saying Jasper saw the facebook page of Itzel, whom puts it up there for her cousins (who live out of state) that Tasha had died peacefully from Cancer. There! We got it handled! So use that once they get a chance to be alone....because I can imagine if he did INDEED search her name...he'll find her facepook page XD.

GAH FOOT ASLEEP!!!! crying crying crying While I try not to scream every time I move....cool. *wince* Glad we got *wince* that straight *wince* ened out. And it's better now. *sigh of relief* Anywhore, time for this good little boy to go to bed. Try not to leave me too far behind guys! Also, food fpor thought. Jasper is carrying around a grand total of over $20,000 worth of pokemon merchandise. Half that value is in the three cards in that way-too-many-locks bulletproof briefcase that he's handcuffed to. XD

All of my Japanese is translated (Google Translate) but Nando just speaks English first, then translate it to Japanese. I put a spoiler below the post to do any translation I left behind in talking XD.

edit: It is 12:51am as I am posting this
I see. Thanks for letting me know! Yuki can understand English, but idioms and slang evade him. Since Nando's second post gives me the impression that he is translating for Yuki, I'll assume that, among other things, they discussed their competency in English, and I'll have Yuki relieve Nando of his adopted duty as translator in the next post. Probably something along the lines of "I need to be a little confused in order to learn" or something. That's assuming you don't mind. Translating is hard work; I weary of leaving GT up nearly constantly for Yuki. XD

I don't know how much effort you're putting into keeping tenses up, but you're doing a fairly decent job right now--keep it up! About half of the thing is in present tense and the other half is in past tense. If you can maintain one or the other for one paragraph, that'd be excellent. ^^

12:51 AM, hmm? So you must be Mountain Time! I'm Pacific, right next to you. ^^

Funny because I am not even trying to keep it in tense. But yeah, I am a little stressed from writing so perfectly with grammar nazi's in my class...so I am a little loose on roleplaying but I have been trying to watch out for them.

NOW! I shall be going to bed! NIGHT TO YOU ALL!

No you're not Never mind, you did.

Well, if that's your minimal effort, then a little push and you're golden! XD (Grammar Nazis? In English class or elsewhere? And is it dyslexia or something else? I am woefully ignorant of such matters...)

EDIT: If Yuki's rare Pokemon made Tasha really happy, I would imagine that Itzel would thank him or at least care about his reply, but she is your character, so I'm unsure if my guess is right.
EDIT: Might be a good idea to tone down the language and avoid strong curse words, just in case we have someone under 13 here. I'm not and I don't think anyone extant is, but you never know. XD;;

Yuri Valentine - Sifu
Would you mind terribly if Yuki asked about that suitcase farther down the road? Obviously not right now, since he doesn't feel at all like he's close enough to Jasper to just ask like that XD He'd probably be quite thrilled to know that the Londoner loves Pokemon enough to keep a few cards from older days around with him and would then want to show him his own old cards from CoroCoro. ^^
EDIT: Hey, all of those "unnumbered promo cards" were featured in the Pokemon TCG game for Game Boy Color!! I actually did own pixellated versions of those cards before!!! I had no idea they were so rare--I just thought they were old. XD

Hahaha, why am I liking Emir so much? Imma say that Yuki thinks he reminds him of some cosplayers and maybe have him ask about his cosplays (then oops! he models) in my current or next post. If/When Yuki and he get friendly, I'm going to have him call him Emi-san; is that alright? (Chan would be super funny, but even though there's a decent chance Emir might not know what that means, Yuki would never be that informal XD)


Japanesestarfire
Just a notice: At the time of your second post, only Yuki and Nando were inside the limo (besides the chauffeur and Yuki's mom, who's riding the limo to work), and Nando was sleeping and could not introduce himself. Most of his dialogue was during his arriving in Kyoto and during his conversation with Yuki, which both predate everything right now. ^^

GDI, dumb Word keeps crashing as I'm trying to format all this for my Word document... I swear, I've had to retype part of my post at least four times. D:<

Wow Ren, already shot yourself in the foot. Except not really. Despite Japan's customs to be respectful to everyone right off the bat, she was not raised there, wasn't really raised with that kind of thing. Even if her Japanese parent tried.

So, sorry for all those characters who find her rude(And might tell her) She just won't care?

I'll get a post in during lunch.

Yay someone likes Emir~ <3 uwu I laughed when I read Yuki thought he was a cosplayer that's fun. If/Wen that happens Emir would be down with that since it was one of his internet aliases for the people online that didn't have his facebook since he barely uses that thing anyway. pahah

I'm gonna wait till more people respond before replying again uvu also I just realized I should probably get into the habit of quoting people in my posts ;w;;"""
