You find some Shark Food.  Nothing heavy, sadly, but it's free.  You grab the package off the table and open it.

The new kids are a rowdy bunch that oughta be thrown out of the pool!

...or, y'know, not. *GRINS* (Mwahaha, you mentioned my new kid. MULTIPLE TIMES.)

I love what you've written--I remember that bit with the hand holding, and having your same reaction. There was a similar bit, flavored with romance, in one of the last Sand vs. RaiandGen threads that made me wow and aww all at once. Damn Dark and Nezu. ;) Rai makes AWESOME back up. :D

Suicide teeth: maybe you have to bite them in a certain way. A crunch and grind sort of motion, rather than just a crunch. Or, more likely, an application of chakra as well. That way you're not likely to do all at once. ;-D

Mwahahaha! Fear me, for mine is an evil laugh...

*grins* Romance? Me? Surely you misread, woman. Romance between Genma and Raidou? For shame. They are good buddies and nothing more.

Of course.

(And if we're going to talk about awww and wow at the same time, let's get back to the subject of your new kid. Because damn)

[jbmcdragon]

That's right. I keep forgetting, Raidou Is Not Gay. *GRINS*

*cackles* Awww, you only say that because my new kid and your old kid made the ow so good.

...That just sounded so, SO wrong. I'm, uh, gonna go back to fic'ing, now. >.>

Of course I mentioned your sparkly new kid. I will continue to do so. ^^

Crunch like this, apply a little chakra, and tada! You've offered us poor n00bs a most elegant solution, fitting perfectly into the Narutoverse.

(Darn ninja and their chakra and their "safe" suicide teeth - how is that fair? >.>)

[darksideofstorm]

I love your brain. It makes me gleeful.

Kakashi -- it was a very deliberate choice to take him a different way from his Spiral player, mostly because I find shy and morose boring and canon!Kakashi is anything but boring. *grins* Plus, it's sinful amounts of fun to find snark in his head. He has epic amounts of snark. I'm so glad his new incarnation is coming off as both real and interesting to you, he's a damn challange to play, but a fun challange. I love playing him against Ginta, it leads to such delightful weirdness

[fallenfor_lurke]

Wish my brain made -me- gleeful. It usually picks "deranged." (But indirectly... Dark, have I mentioned that you make me *glee* with your *glee*? Even if I dive for cover from every *grin*?)

I love when I'm reading a 'fic characterization and think, "Oh, that makes so much sense now!" - and the that is a reference to the source material. ^^ Your Kakashi and his snark gave me one of those moments. So, thank you, your sinful fun delights me.

...Hang on. *checks mirror for horns and tail* Phew, my bad- er, good, just my imagination. A retail assassination career is busy enough without adding a devilish side job. >.>

That quiet ending - it's why I noticed that spot in the first place. I thought that kind of ending was a little unusual for y'all. Surprise led to consideration, which was followed by appreciation, and quickly chased by Envy waving the wand of a giant Ghostbusters-like vacuum on full-power. ...Your choice was effective. ^^

Yay, comments are up! (It's quite possible they were up yesterday, but I was irreversibly distracted yesterday. As I should be today, but I keep getting distracted from that too...)

But I thought I should let you know our first impressions (from a chat with darksideofstorm:

me: check out our lurker's LJ. She is AWESOME.
me: It's a review in Chose Your Own Adventure style!
Dark: *runs to see!*
me: sample: "If this RP were a pool party, Ryouma just did a cannon-ball, Tsume just shook her hair dry next to the sunbathers, and Ginta just stole somebody’s shorts. "
Dark:*ded*
Dark: I think I love her
me: I think so too. And she's all fangirling Raidou inside! *shuts up and lets you read*
Dark: YAY! *reads!*
Dark: *falling over with glee*
Dark: *grins* man alive, I love her thoughts on Kakashi and Raidou (and thinking Ginta's going to eat his face *ded*) She's just so... beautifully detailed. *laughs* Best reviwer ever. *can't wait to see what she thinks of other characters*
me: Yes

[fallenfor_lurke]

Ooo, Distraction, my favorite! And hey! There goes Concentration!

and thinking Ginta's going to eat his face *ded*

Glad -someone- got enjoyment out of that. :P And Calvin helped, yes!

Yay for CYO! *laughs* I was worried it wouldn't go over well. (Is there some kind of limit, per entry, on the overall number of characters used in the LJ cut-links? Had issues with that. Wanted to make both of the "To...Page" lines fully links, but didn't get them to work.)

*grinning* The thought has crossed my mind, that though handing out Shark Food prevents me from becoming fish food, dealing with sharks through bribery might be dangerous. ^_~

I rather like the second option. So do I. ^^ And that trope index was fun.

...By the way, Ryouma melted my printer. I have half a mind to weigh the stack of paper and ink that poor thing produced in its death throes. *eyes it suspiciously*
