Heigh-ho, the witch is dead!
Done in by a whole planet falling down on her. >____<
I still want to kill that bastard, Alliver. But I only got permission to maim him, dammit.
PJ called me last night. She was crying so hard, it twisted me inside. Anyone who can hurt someone so precious deserves nothing less than death, but PJ wouldn't let me. It made me feel helpless - I couldn't do anything for her, I wanted to go to her place and just keep watch on her till she falls asleep, or take down the pictures she couldn't take down herself, so her room would be free of any reminders.
PJ said some words that frightened me, but she promised not to do anything stupid. And I trust her.
She also expressed fears that maybe, maybe, in a twisted way, the story I made of Hikaru and Daverth will come true, with the betrayal. And I just hope it doesn't.
***note on seeing what's on PJ's journal today***
I'm glad they've talked, at last. ^____^
Listing of vignettes for Seika:
PJ - Sesanna's nap, Coronation, Training Day, Sisterhood
Oui - One Step, Homecoming in Zanther, Connections
Me - Moonlight (Nya~n, Oui, remember this one?)
I'm still rewording our old conversation on the the Lied, the Sieben and the chorioster of Zanther.
It's really strange, I'm not posting to zhynchan, nee?

I'm taking a stab at it, with my favorite characters.
The ideas came from walking home with Panda's dinner. I started with Ishida, and then everyone clamored for attention. XD
[Hikaru no Go] Ogata Seiji
1 - There has been speculation about Ogata's pale hair in the go world - random theories ranging from atavism to Ogata being the love child of a German-Japanese match to it being dyed way back when he wanted to look like David Bowie and he just kept it that way. The most popular happens to be the last one.
One of the few people who can attest that it is not dyed happens to be Touya Meijin, but he would never tell why in public.
2 - He does know he must not wear a paisley print shirt with plaid pants. He found out about this grave fashion faux pas the hard way.
3 - His first memory of go : a disapproving frown on a wrinkled old face, shadow over white stones, the noon sun's glare on black. Hot and bitter tea washing down cold noodles, and the slap of a belt when he spilled the go stones on the ground.
4 - Ogata was three things when he was in elementary: he was one of the shortest boys in class, he was the only one who played go, and he had the dorkiest pair of thick-rimmed glasses ever known to man. Because of this he was often bullied to the point of tears.
He never cried.
5 - Whenever Ogata gets invited to karaoke, he usually ends up singing the sappiest enka song on the playlist as his drunken companions cheered him on, even if he privately wants to sing the latest Morning Musume single.
6 - Ogata cannot tell a joke to save his life.
7- Ogata always found soft brown hair attractive on a person.
8 - The first thing Touya Meijin and Ogata talked about was not go. It was about which ramen shop beside the Go Institute was the best.
9 - Ogata gets motion sickness in any vehicle except his beloved Mazda RX-7. He claims concentrating on driving keeps the nausea away.
10 - Ogata's been to eleven o-miai. Only one was successful. Unfortunately, he was not the one to get married.
11 - His fishes were named after James Bond antagonists.
12 - Ogata used to smoke Peace, but when he found out Honinbo Kuwabara smoked the same brand he switched to Lark.
13 - One of the last women he danced with was someone named Akiko.
14 - Ogata would look at Morishita-sensei and his teacher and thinks, "Their rivalry makes them strong." He thinks the same when he sees Akira arguing with that Shindou boy. Then he wonders what God was drinking when He gave him twisted old men to be his rivals in go.
15 - He does not go to any onsen famous for bathing monkeys.
16 - One day he overheard a couple of female go players gossiping about his preferences. That day he was especially nice to his (male) opponent, even to the point of openly inviting him to drink during lunch. The murmured conversation surrounding them immediately ceased when he leaned forward to fix the other player's tie.
During the next ooteai, he blatantly flirted with the woman beside him, and secured a dinner date for the next night. Sakurano giggled when she was asked what happened that night. "He's quite a charmer when he wants to, that Ogata," she said. Shirakawa didn't understand what they meant by the pregnant pause before "And then what?" Shirakawa testily replied, "And then we played go the whole night" before turning away.
Since then no one's been really sure if Ogata's straight, bi, gay, or just none of the above.
17 - On every go server, he will challenge people having 'sai' in their IDs. This often led to disappointing games against people like IamSai555 and Fujiwaranosai01. That doesn't mean he won't do it again the next time he's online.
18 - He taught himself German to fool people on IGS into thinking he was a foreigner, but he can't speak it to save his life.
19 - He reads Nietzche in public. The philosophy books are on the fourth shelf beside travel books. His collection of erotica are hidden beneath cookbook dustjackets on the bottom shelf, but no one ever bothered to look there.
20 - Till his death, Ogata's grandfather believed Ogata got all his go talent from him.
20.1 Ogata owns a puce velveteen blazer with gold embroidery.
20.2 His favorite excuse for slow dancing with ladies in college : how when he was in high school he was part of the soccer team, and injured it during the decisive game with their rivals. Since then (the story goes) his doctor advised him never to put too much stress on it. This tided him through the crazy disco dancing phase.
He believes the story works because a. he came from a school with a soccer team no one's ever heard about and b. almost every woman has a private fantasy of getting it on with the male lead in a sports manga.
[Bleach] Ishida Uryuu
3 - He learned to take midnight walks at the age of six. He went looking for his father on the night of his birthday. Hours later, he was found shivering by the river by one of the nurses working for his father.
4 - Ishida doesn't know it, but his father mobilized the staff from an entire hospital floor to find him. Ryuuken would rather die than let him find out, and Ishida would probably say Ryuuken was lying through his eyeteeth.
5 - Ishida could have been class representative in middle school if he wanted to, except he had a crush on the other candidate. He deliberately made five errors on his entrance exam to ensure the girl would be chosen. She was in the same handicrafts club, and wore the most bewitching cologne. It was made from jasmine and ylang-ylang.
6 - He did not join the archery club, even when two sempai came over to talk to him. The official reason : he did not want to take time away from his studies. The true reason : the thought of changing clothes with a roomful of sweaty, hormonal teenagers sickened him.
7 - A year later he heard gossip that their class representative was going out with the archery club captain.
8 - Ishida's first impression of Kurosaki : "One big idiot."
9 - The first encounter between Inoue Orihime and Ishida : she was talking to Tatsuki about something that went "Pururun" and the melon-bean paste-pie she made as they walked down the corridor. He was going the opposite way.
10 - Ishida's first impression of Kuchiki Rukia : "A shinigami." This was hastily revised as he watched her interact with Kurosaki to, "Another idiot to kick that big idiot's ass."
11 - Ishida keeps his eyes decorously on Inoue's face whenever they are together.
12 - Ishida has a habit of listening in conversations. He knows it's rude, but he always keeps half-an-ear open during free time. That's how he found out that red bean paste is Inoue's favorite cooking ingredient. That's also how he found out about the amazing Don Kannonji (Bwohahahaha!) and his trick of splitting the upper and lower halves of Apollo chocolates.
14 - Ishida does not know what his zodiac sign is. He doesn't think it's important.
15 - Ishida once bought a box of Meiji Apollo chocolates to attempt Don Kannonji's trick of splitting them into half. Two hours later, with his fingers sticky with chocolate goop, he decided using spiritrons to cut them wouldn't be considered cheating.
16 - 10 is probably the reason why he caught the glimpses of sadness on Inoue's face while they were in Soul Society. Any normal young man would have his eyes on Inoue's chest.
17 - Ishida believes a city populated by Quincy would probably look like Soul Society. The streets were wide and clean, the buildings were white and elegant. Of course, there's the occasional problem of building damage whenever people absorb spiritrons to fight and train, but that was merely quibbling.
I still want to kill that bastard, Alliver. But I only got permission to maim him, dammit.
