It was bound to happen (Suzuki strikes!)
My apologies once again for lack of updating; my sleep schedule has become more erratic, school life has become busier, and the apartment constantly begs my attention to keep it from becoming dilapidated.
Anyway, I was in Tokyo a week ago and found myself in a large toy store. I will of course give you a better discourse of this in the future, but for now suffice to say I was there. In this place was one of those turning bubble dropping things. You know, you place the money in, turn the knob and out comes a prize in a bubble. We have them in America but here in Japan they are about 80 times better. More expensive, but oh look, out drops a small Eva model, a statue miniature of a character, etc. I gave it a go three times. Out popped two Evas and a character from some unknown anime. I felt I could make use of the Evas, but what of this random girl? I then had an idea; I would take this small offering to Suzuki, since he loves this stuff and it was the least I could do.
So the next school day I go to his desk to find him not there. The secretary informs me that he would be to work later in the day, he had a meeting. Cool, I can dig it. I did not want to forget it though, so I left it with a note on his desk, to the effect, "from Harajuku, many praises, your loyal anime subjugate" or something. As it would turn out, I would not catch him that day; he would come to school as I was leaving. I passed him on a dirt road leaving school. His eyes were focused, he was driving seriously. I am almost sure I could hear the Nightrider theme from his windows. I was content in knowing that once he entered school, he would find a small present from me. Excellent.
Of course this action was not without repercussion. Imagine if you will a thankless gift giver on the receiving end of kindness. This reversal of the flow of the universe could only be balanced in one way; reciprocation.
I do not mean to allude to me being showered by even more gifts, quite the opposite. I was given one tasteful, special gift in return. Allow me to expound; Suzuki made it clear once again he had special powers, that he could see my secret of secrets, that he could in fact bore into my desire and talk to the green greedy goblin who operates it's interface. What I did not realize is that Suzuki could transcend time. Yes, with this new gift Suzuki circumvented the fourth dimension. He delved into my shadowy desires of Christmas past.
You may remember seeing this online or through some other media outlet;

For those without Youtube power, it is of course a commercial for the limited release of the fruit drink that was dubbed "Potion." That is right, the Final Fantasy 12 Potion. Watching from afar in my corner room months ago, I desired this thing, I craved it. What I did not know is that at the time a cloaked Suzuki materialized through an interdimentional gate behind me, lightly touched my head and was then no more as he sped back through space-time with the greedy information.
He then came to my desk and asked me to stamp some papers for official purposes. At the stamping of the last page he placed before me a Final Fantasy Potion. Its glassy surface had beads of condensation about it, the sun hit it just right, and it was beautiful. A small voice of Rick months ago was awash with glee. Suzuki only smiled and said "Dozo."
I do not think I can drink such a gift. I feel that maybe I should purchase a chest and place it in there, in hopes that an RPG character will one day barge into my apartment and riffle through my things, only to find the contents of chest. He will then talk to me twice at which time I will repeat "I don't know, they say the well contains angry spirits..."
That or when I'm low on HP.
