I always feel bad after I battle him and think, "Goddammit, it's not N. <.<" while Natsuki is probably all nervous and saying a bunch of flustered sweet guy things while you're riding with him on the ferris wheel. For all I know, he really does care about ( Read more... )

Happy Day of the Dead! And hello to other NaNoWriMers! I wish everyone the best of luck and let us keep cheering ourselves on! NaNo's being glitchy atm, but feel free to friend me once it patches up. :o

By the way, Lost Silver Hidden is out.
