Not really carried away (Heck, I typed out Daniel's as a video transcript, because he would totally send vids instead of letters. XD ) It was just interesting to have it like a normal conversation. Maybe I should organize one of those "Talk Show Specials" where I can invite several of the characters and ask them stupid questions and get them all interacting. ... Except half of them want to kill each other.
I think I can follow Master's message up until the 'ws'. Is that "Was greater than he is"? Or... "weighs more than he looks" XD
A giant chat between your characters would probably fry my brain from trying to comprehend the speedy banter. @_@
So.. you like mudkipz my characters? Or just how I manage to talk to all of them? XD Most of them are really similar in what I say, actually. I'm basically just asking where they're at as the story starts. (Except Daniel, who answered me from somewhere off in omniscient land. ) This way I can solidify some background details and get an idea of the voice I want with them. ninja Daniel's actually the hardest to get a distinct voice for. It's all in his delivery, not what he says exactly. D= It's weird, because in the story, he's supposed to have almost supernatural charm. Even he doesn't understand it. Yaozu thinks it's his eyes, but no one really knows. Daniel's just very, very good at persuasion. So it irritates me that he seems so... flat when I write him. Y_Y
Anyway... It would be kind of interesting to have a big interview with everyone, then have another at the end of June, end of July, etc. To see what they think about where the story's going. A sort of "Meet the Cast" party. XD

Ah, well, thanks. smile He's easy (for me, at least) to talk to, I guess. I think it must have been over email, 'cause of his little "Dr. L. Bradley" signoff thing at the end of each. XD I love the "Talk Show Special" idea. I...think I've seen similar someplace. Or heard of it. I love that kind of thing, so I always store it away when I find it, just in the back of my mind. Then things get confused and blah. Kind of like my insane wording. @.@ I don't entirely know what I'm trying to say.
Bradley'd lose it at the "nws" or maybe "thn", so congrats (well, other than dealing with Master, Bradley lives under a rock, so that might not say much...). Master wasn't expecting Wilkins to get it at all, but he replied within two minutes with complete understanding. XD It actually says "was right, he lies". The ">" is pointing right. Master's unconventional. Brandon was faking delusions so he could stay at Blackstone but no one figured that out until Master--but he's keeping it secret. wink So he's telling Wilkins that he was right, Brandon was lying. But the "was greater than he is" rather fits. XD
LMAO I could do it in parts--like groups of three or so. And I'll take calling it "speedy banter" as a compliment. lol Thanks! ^_^
Mudkipz. Pfft. XD Anyway. Your characters definitely sound awesome, but I don't know much about them yet. In my post I was referring to how you talk to them, though. I can't think of any conversation. I only have one episode written and I don't know what to ask them about it. I'd feel like too much of a psychic if I asked Master what he's going to do to launch the future five-show-arc. XD I could definitely get the Yard and CPS group (and by extension Master and Wilkins) talking about what was happening before the first ep. Ideas, ideas!
And, uh, I love Daniel. He does not come across as flat, IMO. XD But I can sympathize with the difficulties of writing a persuading/manipulative character. Wilkins monopolizes persuasion, and Master rules at manipulation (or has "mad manipulation skillz" as he likes saying XD). It's definitely hard to write. I try not to be concerned about flatness, 'cause the manipulation's hard enough. I'm a major negotiator/manipulator myself, but I don't know I'm doing it. XP
Oh, that'd be fun. If I did it, though, it'd have to be several characters, as I'm writing a bunch of different stories instead of one novel (although I hope to get a couple more MCF eps done. Around two would meet my word count quota...).
I...think we're actually starting to carry our bloasts over to this forum. We will rule Gaia before long! *maniacal laughter*

Ohh, I was so close, then. I thought of "lies", but couldn't get past the >.
Go, Bloastage! domokun
Yeah, the Talk Show Special is something I had seen in fanfiction. I even wrote one or two of my own. So it is an idea that stuck with me. You could always mix the characters from several stories into one talk show. That could be fun.
Also, I found a file in my very cluttered Unnamed Novel folder. It's a letter I wrote from a character before even finding this thread. =O But it's written basically after the entire story ends, and it's Steve writing me several years later and filling me in on what he remembers. Kinda depressing, actually, but then he offers to send me all these old things he kept, and he hints that that's what I'm writing the book from. Kind of interesting. X3
Yes, "speedy banter" refers to the fact that in dialogue-heavy sections, I often skip anything else to get through the conversation, then I go back and scan the action to see if I missed something important. But with lots of dialogue, it's like I'm zipping through, almost like trying to keep up with a real conversation. XD
Well, I'm glad you don't find Daniel flat. He's supposed to switch between charm and seriousness, and I'm never sure if it comes off that he's got different sides or if it just looks like he's unfocused. XD
My characters are the best part of the novel. The plot's still a train wreck on tracks that were never finished. rofl
I realized that my characters swear more than anyone else's. o_O Not that there's necessarily that much in the novel, but considering these are letters, I feel the ability to get more personality, and some of them are rather crass. It's just strange because I see a lot of other people's letters are very polite, and slowly I've gone from the most polite characters to the offensive. o_O
And now... the dreaded, the misunderstood, the Key - Cody. (I warn you. She's cruel. ;-; )
-----
Cody (a.k.a Night Moves)
I've put off writing to you, because we both know polite chitchat isn't exactly your thing. But if I'm ever going to get your sections down, I'll need to get over my fear of your character eventually.
Just for records, it'd be great if you could give a quick rundown of yourself and what you do... And what DO you guys do over there? I know it's party, fight, party, fight, but you're all up to something with the music phenomenon, and you and Fitz still run some kind of missions, right? But not with the government, and not for Julian. Are you with Camp or freelancing or what?
Since you've got a pretty important part later on, feel free to give any suggestions for where the plot, especially your own section, should go. 3nodding
Love, Flea
---
b***h, please.
No. Seriously. Don't pull this "I know you don't like chitchat" while you're making chitchat. "Small talk stinks," Roxy'd say, and you smell about as good as day old dog vomit.
Just for the record - ******** your record. It's out-dated and it just don't spin. If you can't figure out yourself what we're up to, then put your pen down and go the ******** home. NEXT! Let's keep the line moving.
I know Rox sent you the new tracks. Don't ask me about the music. Don't ask me what it means or where I get my inspiration. It's music not ******** psychoanalysis. You take everything inside and retch it into the mic and if you've got anything worth saying, it gets said. Same with writing, so don't ask me for help with your pitiful book. Especially not when you're ******** scared of me. I AM your book. Not in that egotistical way that Julie-boy thinks he is, but I am the b*****d son of the Rapture drug, the aborted fetus of the Mothership.
Those are Roxy's words, but whatever. They fit.
You want your plot? Wanna know what this whole story's REALLY revolving around? Go ask my mother, if you can find her. Probably at the bottom of some mass grave with a thousand other acceptable losses. Go on, dig 'em up, sort 'em out and if you find the b***h, stare her straight in her maggoty face and ask her what the ******** it's all about. Y'know what she'd probably say? She'd say, "Damn, b***h. The price just seemed right."
Night Moves
~~~
Note: The letter came in an opened and reglued envelope. Along with the letter was a torn piece of paper and Roxy's handwriting:
"All of which makes me anxious. At times, unbearably so."

An impromptu letter from Fitz. X3
~~~
Hey, Mama. What's shakin? cool Heard you wrote to Codeine and she, uh, wasn't too happy about it. She dun't like you. But she'll get over it. Well, she won't, but she won't find you where you sleep and drive a fork through your skull. Probably.
So... where's my letter? Coz I don't seem to have as big a part in this as I should. Or should I? Am I getting paid as much? Or... at all? Coz beer money is running low, and... when beer's low, spirits are low. It's scientific. Gonna have to get that Ghost to make a withdrawal from the bank accounts that aren't ours.
You asked about the music, right? Bout the new singles and uh, the other stuff. You want the main Mouse & the Rebelations or the side project, Drunk on Drinking? I'm thinking of doing a solo project. It'll be called An Army of Mouse and it'll play... guitar.
But you wanted the recipe for the secret sauce. Heh. I'm no chef. Ghost handles that. I just know it messes with electronic minds, scrambles the signals like eggs for breakfast. The mind's like a computer and music's like a digital drug. Cept this one's a medicine. Vaccine.... I didn't quite get it, but she knows what it's about. I just play the riffs, man.
Write me sometime, alright? Don't make me feel like a one night stand tossed to the curb after a night of hot, drunk sex. Coz... I don't think we had that. Yet.
I gotta get more beer.
<3 Fitz
~~~
Blergh. I'm bored. And I feel I don't have a good enough handle on Fitz's character. That irritates me for many reasons. o_<

Dear Christian,
Be a good sociopath and get rid of your emotions, kid. You have a hell of a slot to fill right now because I expect you to literally scare me as much as Edgler Vess does. You are both fictional and you will both keep me up at night. I've never written a sociopath before on your level, and I expect perfection and your complete and absolute cooperation. Not only will you seduce and manipulate Kat, you will use your "friends" until they die. I'd let you let Beau die, too, but he has something you need, so I wouldn't pitch him just yet.
Anywho, I'm rambling and I'm sure you don't give a damn. I would have sent some cookies with this letter, except you don't eat cookies. I though of sending a cross as a practical joke, but you don't find humor in the same things I do, so it wouldn't be worth it. Maybe I'll sprinkle some holy water on the page. Would you think it was amusing?
Love,
Mom/God/Karma/Rae/The Perception
___
Dear Mother,
Bullshit. My mother died in the early twentieth century.
Thank you very much for your considerate letter, and I would have liked cookies regardless I can't eat them. It would have been a pleasant gesture. I am positively brimming with emotions and I feel the deepest guilt for what I've done in the past. I'm a changed man and no longer deserve the sentence I have been given. I do not seduce and I do not manipulate anymore. On that matter, I do not know who Kat is.
Your practical joke was not funny. In fact, I'm rather hurt you would think to do such a thing as me, you claiming to be my mother and all. What kind of horrible person are you? I'm feverishly grateful that you aren't honestly related to me in any way.
My affections,
Christian.
___
Dear Christian,
You're bluffing.
Love,
Rae

Dear Vasha,
Please, for the love of all the deities in Othoria, stop following your brother around and showing up at inopportune times! I must admit, you're a very fun character to write and you might even get your own story after this, but this one's your brother's and I'd rather you not try to upstage him with your antics. Just let him be and let him grow on his own. And stop trying to spike his water with haoma, he doesn't like the taste and the aftermath of the last time wasn't very pleasant for him.
With love,
The Powers That Be
Dear "TPTB",
Like you're one to talk. Who the hell do you think you are following around like that and monitoring my actions? I like being my own man, and you're definitely not gonna stop me. You sound like every single one of those people back in my village. "Oh why can you be more like your sweetheart brother?" I know it's not his fault and I feel like I've kicked a paraplegic puppy every time I make him sad, but it's really fun to see him squirm. Kid really needs to loosen up. To be fair, I did make sure that the lady he fell in bed with was a pretty one.
((Written to express my frustration about one character mad . I love him a lot, but he wants me to keep writing him and bothering his brother.))

Flea: domokun
That might be where I saw it, too. And that'd be weird (in a good way). XD I've got a strange image right now. Master, Wilkins, Leicester, Odell, and Bradley meet Michel, Aelfric, Symphony, Angel, and Geneva. rofl It'd be like encountering AU-London for both of them. Ha!
That's really cool. I love finding stuff like that.
I do the same thing. It's good for script, but I need to get in a habit of keeping things moving action-wise instead of having them just "Stop. Wait for it...BANTER!" XD So I have less dialogue-heavy parts like that (and why does Firefox think "dialogue" should be spelled without the "ue"? O.o).
I had a dyslexic moment when I first read that--I read "Daniel" as "Denial". Just...a random funny. Anyway. I think you capture it. X3
That's like my Oriel. I've got TOO many different ideas, so I haven't settled on what the story is ACTUALLY about. But I love the characters. <3
LOL. I swear a lot IRL, but my characters go light on it. I'm not sure why that is.
And LMAO at "b***h, please." rofl
On the actual thread topic, I'm still working on that chat, and considering writing to Leicester, Bruce, and/or Wilkins about pre-episode 1 issues. Really. I'll post something eventually. >.>

Phrique: I think dialogue is one of those words like prologue and catalogue. Because truthfully, the 'ue' always threw me. It's like a silent E but... Anyway, I know prolog and catalog can be spelled without the ue, so maybe dialog can, too? I tend to think of the 'ue' version as the classical, maybe "correct" way, but without the 'ue' makes things sound much more modern. domokun Although I don't see myself saying dialog anytime soon. Other than that sentence. <_<
What on Firefox corrects your spelling? It doesn't correct mine. >_>
Wanna talk about reading things wrong? I thought the pic in your sig said "Layed and lost". rofl I kept wondering, "Why does it spell 'laid' wrong?"
Sometimes I type in more swearing in the dialogue but then edit it out later because I imagine all the people who tell me good writing shouldn't ever have bad words. rolleyes But then when I write a character that does use a lot of vulgar language, it's like my gauge is broken and I have no ability to tell what's actually too much. -_-; Although Cody definitely gets vulgar and insulting. That's just her defensive side.
But I like how Cody mentions "Roxy says". She acts all tough, but she's so influenced by others. XD
Yeah, on topic... I should get another letter, just to Steve or Caleb or something, but I don't feel like it right now. I spent the day setting up my story thread, putting up the profile and updating my Nano. I feel sufficiently accomplished. domokun

Dear Chris, Sam, Elsa, and the entire crew,
Where the hell are you? I swear you're there one second and gone the next. How am I supposed to write a story without any characters? The background characters like the ones Chris gets to beat up haven't showed up! I know this is a story long in the works, but I swear I'm going to work on the first book for the SuMoWriMos, and I'm going to get at least 50k worth in words. Might even finish the book too. You know I have the outline of it.
Sincerely,
Chibi Envy Chan
Dear Chibi Envy Chan,
How about go away? Remember the last time you played with us? We refuse to go through that again...
By the way, it's Christian, not Chris. You're the one who named me. Get it right.
Signed,
Christian Carter

Envy: I like how Christian insists on his name. My character, Daniel, does that. Even in notes, I have to write his full name out. If I leave it as Dan, I feel the need to go back and fix it.
---
Dear Steve,
... What are you doing? You know you're not supposed to be in the story until later. You get a large, rather important role, and you get to sleep with Daniel. Several times. Why can't you just wait your turn?? gonk
With love,
Flea
---
Dear Flea,
Um. Sorry? Heh. I was just there, ya know. Doing jobs and stuff, trying to be helpful, and c'mon, you put me right in front of freaky spider things and offer to explain and you think I'm gonna say, "No, hey but I'll be back for that in three chapters"? Just... ya know... maybe you could do something useful with me, while I'm there and all.
I'm putty in your hands. whee
<3 Steve
--
Dear Caleb,
... Stop being boring. DX
Love,
Flea
----
Dear Flea,
I'm not boring... Am I? Why does everyone say that? I don't think being less wild and aggressive necessarily translates as boring. To put it in a reference I'm certain you'll get - I am the Gibson of your story. You might have realized that sooner, but you neglected to have correspondence with me prior to this moment.
Really, any problems were created by you when you designed my character. I'm a scientist. I came from a somewhat isolated past, went through an awkward teenage phase, and now spend most of my time alone with books, theories, animal research and the like. How interesting did you think I would be?
No hard feelings,
Caleb

Flea: The "ue" threw me too, but it's just become something so ingrained that I can't imagine it otherwise. XD I didn't know prologue and catalogue could be spelled without the "ue". (Of course, it thinks prologue's right there, but not catalogue. XD) I agree, it must be a modern thing. It just looks weird to me. lol
I...don't...know. Actually. confused I just thought it was standard. rofl
LMAO. I remember rechecking it to make sure the "o"s weren't "a"s on accident, but I didn't notice that the loop of the "L" and the "v" looked like a "y". I see it now, though. rofl Well, it's kind of that too, I guess. Amber did like sex. (Aaand now I'm remembering that scene where she says that. Gaaah. ;_;)
LOL. Reminds me of my chat. IRL, Master'd have no qualms about cursing up a storm for any kind of effect. And none of the others ('cept, perhaps, sweet Bradley and Jeremy, or crazy-ethical Wright) have much a problem with cursing. But I never quite get around to writing it in. XD Part of it is that they'd say "********" a lot (well, Master would), but that's pretty much the only word that still isn't allowed on average TV. xD I don't know what the other parts are, though. Anyway, in the chat, there's conveniently a filter. Which Bradley praises.
I forgot how that related to what you said. Um. Anyway. xp
That's great. I love character ticks like that. I dunno, just makes them...real, I guess. Or real interesting. All the same.
I should write and post stuff. I've got a post-S4-finale fanfic I'm working on, but then the chat, and some pictures, etc...
But I need to check out yours!!! D: I'll pop over there now.
And I love Steve and Caleb. heart whee Is that Gibson as in that...uh...super monkey team cartoon with the really long name I could never remember? Super Power Monkey Team Hyper Force Go! or something. I can kind of hear the theme song. D: I had a friend once who ADORED that cartoon. I kind of remember Gibson because, if I remember correctly, he was my favourite. xd
And, uh. Letters. Right. The reason this thread's here. Urm. K. I wanna talk to Master.
---
Dearest Jackie Master,
Hey! Talk to me, darling. What's all this about "botching up your last case" and whatnot? And what did Wilkins do to get you another chance? And what do you think about him writing up your cases? And add on anything else. I wanna hear from you!
Much love,
PHRiQUE
---
PHRiQUE, eh? There's a chat handle. And here I am I'm pleased as plumb with MasterofJacks. Guess I'm not as up on 'net speak as I thought.
Or you're just weird.
I could talk about a lot of things, really. But I won't. Oh, not to save your eyes, darling, but because it would provide a hard copy of proof that I belong in an asylum just as much as the rest of my family. I'm trying to keep that on the down-low. Been successful for over two decades, now.
Funny, that timeline corresponds to how long I've known Johnny. There might be something to that.
So I suppose I should stick to your kindly-provided questions, hm?
Start with the easiest: "What did Wilkins do to get you another chance?" Ask him. I could say something here about sweet talk and sexual favours, but that'd just be--oops, too late. wink
Next, on "botching up" our last case: Thank you kindly for using Odell's crude wording. No, I didn't "botch it up", thank you.
Er. Well, I kind of did. But.
Okay, let me explain.
Without naming names, there was this piece of evidence our suspect wouldn't give up. Supposedly, we also weren't sure it existed. I must have missed that part. Anyway, we couldn't get a search warrant, so I just broke in and took it. Apparently it was attained in some illegal way and the entire case was dropped. Which...sucked. But it also got the suspect killed, 'cause the news got out. I think it worked out great--I mean, he had to go, and with that final piece of evidence there was no doubt that he did it. We just couldn't convict him. Supposedly someone else is investigating the murder case, but it's fairly straightforward. In fact, I think the trial's already going on. So, really, all's well.
Odell apparently thought it was something terrible. I don't get him.
Well, yes I do. I just don't like what I get.
And that's an understatement.
Lastly, about Wilkins writing up our cases. I don't know how I feel about that.
I'll be frank with you. It worries me. Well, that's not the word, but. You know what I mean, right?
I don't like people to know me. Only Johnny knows me, completely. Yeah, Leicester and Bradley and Jeremy and Mrs. Turner and the rest, they know me. But they don't know me. There's a difference. But if more people--especially a whole bunch of readers, of all things--knew me even almost as well as Johnny does...I'd lose everything. I mean. Okay, so that's a little melodramatic. Seriously melodramatic, not jokingly. But still. I...I don't know. I know you understand.
He should write them as monographs; detached analyses and scientific expositions. But he's a romantic.
It...scares me.
Enough of that. There are your answers. I've gotta go.
Nice talking to you.
Love,
Jack
---
As I have to go to bed, I'll write him back later. whee But it's interesting to touch on his greatest fears, there. I need to do it from a semi-stranger's point of view, though. Maybe even Leicester could do it. Or Bradley, but Master'd be more closed to Leicester. He'd talk to me (I already know so much, what would he be hiding? XD) and Johnny, but he wouldn't admit this stuff to Leicester or Odell or the nurses, and only bits and pieces to Jeremy and Bradley. So I think I might do a sequel to this or something where Leicester asks him about it. XD (Oooh, idea! The second episode is touching on this and resolving it, so in it, Leicester could ask about it all. That might be a good bit of character development or whatever, to see how Master reacts in that situation. Coool. XD)
Nng. Crap. Now I'm all excited about episode two--that'd be a good thing if I didn't really need to finish the last two scenes of 1. XD Maybe now I'll force myself. What I really want to do, though, is get to the finale. :O
(Craap! I can't get into this L&O:CI episode, but it's about a psychiatrist, and it's Goren and Eames! *turns off on commercial*. D: rofl )

Phrique: I think I first saw "Prolog" used in a song title, so my brain connects it with industrial music/dystopian futures/etc. XD But then once I started thinking on it, I much prefer them without the ue, except in dialogue. I only use dialog if I'm talking about a computer's dialog box or something. Because it's.. modern. XD I wonder if analog is ever spelled with ue. >_> Can I say monolog? How about synagog? XD Okay, now I'm just being silly.
I censor my characters a bit in stories. If they're the type to swear, I won't replace everything with "golly" or "gee whiz", but I won't let them always swear as much as they want, because it gets repetitive and irritating. xp
(Random: There's a funny scene on Monk where this car won't start, and the woman hits the wheel and goes, "Dammit, dammit, dammit!" and Monk suggests, "Why don't you try saying 'dammit' a few more times. Maybe that will help." XD )
Steve is adorable. If there was going to be a "normal" person the reader identified with (you know, the kind that you use to position yourself in relation to all the craziness ) it'd probably be Steve. But he's not actually in most of the book, though he evidently wants to be.
And yes, that is the Gibson of Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce Go! whee I don't know why I have such affection for that show. Maybe it's the bright colours. XD
Check out my what, now? o_O My profile or my story thread? There's no excerpts yet, just random chat. But hopefully soon will be a bit with Caleb.
And it's rather interesting to have a psychologist who's afraid of people knowing him. XD How would it make him lose everything? Some illegal skeletons in his closets? ninja
Hm... Characters writing letters to each other... That could be fun. If I get stuck later, I may try some of that.

My dearest priestess, You are still nameless along with everyone in your party, yet you refuse to give me your name, their names, or any names. This must stop. I thought you were supposed to be well mannered and all that junk since you are a priestess of something or another that helps anyone asking for it. Other then your names, where are you going? Why wouldn't the coven or what ever you're in let you go by yourself or maybe with your friend, and why is she dressed in the same garb as you and the other priestesses, she's no healer, or if she is she's not very strong in it. She seems to be a warrior or something and she just doesn't belong. I can feel the tension between you, the other four. But there is even more of a tension between her and them, like they don't trust her. Yet your her friend. With all respect I need these answers, you are leaving me to be so frustrated that I can not get your story going. So be a dear and help out, or I might have to go write someone else's story, which would be a bother since Shadow so kindly stepped aside for you. Don't make her sacrifice be in vain! Or else... ok I have no threat but still. Always yours Your medium. Quote: Forgive my lack of an introduction but I do not know who you are, and no clue how your letter made it into my pack while I'm traveling. The fact that your letter was not there the day before, which I am sure that is the case, something very strange is happening indeed. If you wish to find my name, ask around. I'm sure someone will tell you who I am, or approach me yourself. I do not disclose my name to strange letters that appear out of no where. As for Rea, no she is no priestess. She believes that they do not wish to send me off on my own or with her is because they either do not trust I can watch out for myself in these hard times, or... they fear I will leave their ranks.

Flea: That's interesting. It's weird, analog actually looks okay to me. XD Monolog does look more modern. I didn't see prolog in a song title, but it does feel more modern. That's interesting.
And synagog. lol A synagogue in a dystopian future. All metals and futuristic hybrid-clothes. rofl
LMAO. That'd be the ultimate chat-language get-back. I should have Leicester make a censor that makes all the swears "golly", "gee whiz", "golly gee", etc. Actually, Odell, 'cause he's a nerd, and Leicester doesn't have the know-how. That's hilarious.
And I think I saw that scene. I can...ALMOST picture it. XD I want Monk on DVD *adds to birthday list even though I've got almost a year to go 'til then* 4laugh
He definitely is. Those are great kinds of characters. Almost like...casual bystanders. smile
Super ROBOT Monkey Team etc. Yeah, that's right. I was close. rofl It is adorable. I have a weird affinity for robots of any sort. neutral
I was referring to story thread (I love the "Flea Bites" theme whee ), but when I got there, I read snippets of conversation with PMS and checked out your profile, so ultimately both. And your profile's awesome. whee I'm usually fluent with computer/tech-speak and the rest, but HTML/CSS is over my head, so that's impressive just in that sense. But then the pictures are awesome, too--did you draw them all? O.o
It is a fun little contradiction to explore. It's...related to that, but goes deeper. He hates being psychoanalyzed and manipulated, even in the slightest, like he does to other people. "Hates" isn't the right word. "Is morbidly afraid of" is better. XD He's fairly confident and brave, but faced with someone figuring him out, knowing and manipulating or negotiating or controlling him, he'll run screaming like a little girl without any shame. XD "Lose everything" in a general feeling-sense, I guess. It'd freak him out, break him down, drive him crazy--I mean, he's not joking about having to be careful about having hard proof that can put him in an asylum. He's half-joking, or maybe quarter-joking, but it's still fairly true. He's kind of nuts and hanging to semi-sanity by a thread, but he's a genius and he's got a hold of things and he's really controlling, so things even out. But, to answer your question about illegal skeletons: yes. xd That's what the first arc is about. I haven't specified (or he hasn't) exactly what it is, so I'm gonna write the eps leading up to it, but some illegal activity is discovered and throws the whole group for a loop (rhyme time!) in the first season arc. whee
I think my chat room thing's kind of become that. I love how they communicate.
Here's a weird, random, general thing: I have barely slept the last two nights. Not at all last night. And yet, a whole new story idea surfaces. WTF is up with that? XD And it's fuuun. A college English professor who's quirky but smart and serious (kind of like a Gibson-type, actually, or Rokusho) and is homosexual, something of a mentor or standard for his prime student to live up to, and the student's smart but torn between acquired stereotypes and dealing with a sexual identity crisis, and there's this best friend who's this old soul I've-seen-everything, flowy, open, weird, but wise type of gal who's the Fine Arts teacher, and another elusive friend who's...I actually picture her as a dance or gym teacher of some sort, something active but somewhat elegant, and her girlfriend is ADD or bipolar or something so never sticks to one thing and comes and goes erratically. The English guy's the MC and a total grammarian. He's incredibly knowledgeable in his field, but naive in everything else, so he and friends use grammatical parallels to teach him about life and relationships. D: Random new ideas. I can't decide if I love or hate them. xd
Now what? Oh, yeah, it's June 2nd and I should be writing. XD The entire point of this suwrimo thing. xp
BTW, House S4 E1 is on tonight. "Alone". I love this show. xd
*runs in circles*

Analog is how it's normally written. That's why I wonder if it ever had a 'ue'.
Yeah, although Steve becomes a Shark groupie (He never calls him Daniel. Always Shark. Dunno why. o_O ) he's more like an observer in most of the action.
CSS isn't all that complicated, really. The punctuation is the worst to remember. But I have the link to a decent guide on Gaia, and from there, easiest is just to save your own profile page to your computer, make everything display: none and then work with one thing at a time, cause you can get a feel for how the colors and positioning works. Although it took me a lot longer to really grasp the concept of class, id, etc. But you don't need any of that for basic sizing. whee
Sadly, the new profile coding has a whole different wording/setup than classic, so I'll have to relearn it eventually. -_-; Bah. That's why I just made mine the way I did. Simpler.
Glad you like the profile. Yes, I did draw the pictures. domokun Except the lollipop and mushroom cloud, which is a tweaked photo. And the little sign that says "radiation zone" are from a brush set I have. >_> But the cartoony stuff's mine.
I... will write more response later, but now I'm being called to go put up a fence. xp
