So, last night I found out I have a poem to write/due today. Funny thing was that I got nothing in my head, so I asked for duster’s help. She said YES. OMG, I love her. So, SO, SOOOO much. Since this was fun to write. I like to bitch in my poems too =D
========
D: how are your thing… that you remembered you need to do
E: oh poem…again. kinda lame…want to help me come up with something?
D: you know I probably won’t give you any good idea, but any idea is fine?
E: anything is fine. I can’t think of anything. I don’t like poems, at least writing them
D: well, our degree of hating poem is pretty much the same. how about… write a poem about staying late at night while thinking about a poem to write?
E: do you have any ideas how to write that? because I don’t.
D:
“clock ticking, late at night,
insipiration objects
what irritates more is not any above,
but what is here presenting,
some kind of four-line structure,
the no-fun game is what i rejects, the most.”
========
“an assignment of delight”
The clock is ticking late at night,
counting down my moments of fright.
It’s also revealing this desperation of mine,
as I frantically looking through inspirations online.
Still, I got none.
What irritates me more aren’t those fun facts,
but to present this in class tomorrow is my “delight.”
‘Cause I’m now composing this poem of mine.
Some kind of false-line structure, without a true rhyme.
Though it matters to me no more, because I am done….
Perhaps.
Truth be told, no fun in a game is what I dislike,
can only now hope a better delight,
for the next time.

Ah-Ha, AHAHAHAHAHA?
Sorry sorry, I feel so weird for not drawing anything over three weeks…. I think my brain had gone to oblivion or somewhere close to there. So last weekend, I didn’t have much to do beside projects, I thought I can write the story…. *sigh* Well I only got one bulletin worth done. Sorry about that. I’ll try again this weekend to draw and write =D
==================================================
A scream from the distance calls out to the fallen knight, but too late. Fate watches her friend falling towards the solid ground, helpless, and in that moment, as if Fate linked her thoughts with her intelligent device, adrenaline rushes through her. Without speaking, her mind clear, she merely thinks, “Active, Sonic Move.” Bardiche enforces Fate’s command immediately.
Somehow, in a nick of time, Fate manages to successfully catch her unconscious comrade. Without a second thought, she quickly sets up Defense Plus, in case their assaulters come back for more. Guarding with Bardiche in hand, Fate cautiously senses for an enemy’s presence. The tension ceases steadily after the dust clouds clears, showing her the empty wrecked hall.
“Bardiche, how is she?” Fate asks her device, not letting her guard down.
“Sir. Second Lieutenant Signum did not receive any severe injures. She has only temporarily lost consciousness.”
Relieved by the news, the blond carefully pulls Signum’s arm around her shoulder, then put her free arm around Signum’s waist to carry her off to a safer place. Perhaps the control bridge was a good place now with the enemies now scattered.
Nearing the control bridge, Fate is stopped by her intercom activating, but she is relieved to see that her friend is able to communicate once again.
“Fate, Signum, are the two of you alright?” Hayate asks the two soldiers, her tone sounding calm and composed, almost unconcerned. “It’s taken a while for the transmission to get through.” Yet no matter her tone, her posture belayed the nervous tension she was trying to hide. Fate watches her friend closely through the communication window. Hayate had already stood from her original sitting position, both hands pressing down on the table with a pressure amplified by tense shoulders, pushing herself forward towards the screen with a better look of her two friends.
Ah, Hayate’s face is taking up the whole screen…
With both hand preoccupied at the moment, Fate can only release one of her fingers from the hand that’s holding on to Signum’s arm in order to stop her friend from starting to stress herself over her two friends and inferiors. “It’s all right, Hayate. Signum has only temporarily lost her consciousness; she should be fine.”
Realizing her friend had observed her tenseness, Hayate flashes a smile of relief. Still, she finds it displeasing to know her best knight was felled by the hands of low-ranked mages. “Stay where you are. As of now,” Hayate curses her inability to abandon her post at this moment, “only Shamal will be heading over to check on Signum.” Without permission to unlock the ranking bind from headquarters, even this rescue was now declared a suicide mission.
“Understood.” Gazing along the wreckage and charred undergrowth, the only audible sound was the slow groaning of metal as the ship rocked back and forth. Assured that this place should be safe enough, she gently lay Signum aside. With a deft movement the barrier was in place once more. It was almost surreal, watching her unconscious friend lie on the platform, as if she were only resting.
A new set of sounds suddenly appear within the unpleasant cranking made by the ship. Silently calculating the sound, Fate notices it isn’t the sound of heavy footsteps. Rather, it was light and faint. Turning towards the origin of the sound, streaks of golden locks pass through Fate’s vision at the end of the corridor.
“Hayate, I think there is a civilian!” Fate speaks, without withdrawing her gaze from the corridor.
“What?” At first, Hayate can’t wrap her mind around the words through the chaos back at Sector Six. But it only took her a second after that to realize Fate wanted to investigate immediately, on her own. “No, wait! Fate, you are NOT going to chase after it.”
“Just for a moment, please! I think it is a mere child.” Without a second thought, the blonde dashes through the barrier at lighting speed.
“Wait! Fate!”
Watching the video transmitting from Fate’s com link, Hayate cannot help but want to rub her hand through her hair in exasperation – or perhaps a scream would do the job better. She wondered how it was she was the most logical one in a fight, while her best friend seemed to like mindlessly rampaging through the battle field. Correction. In this case, not just one but two of her friends like to do so, it seems. Biting her tongue, Hayate waits closely for Fate’s respond.
“It…it can’t…be…”
That was not what she wanted to hear. In a panic, the commander abandon her position’s speech, could only scream out to her friend.
“Fate, please come back to the base immediately!”
No respond.
Once more, a wave of sonic energy pulses from the ship. Monitors a moment ago submitting images suddenly start to fizz with static and shut down. “Fate! Can you hear me?? Fate-chan!!” Not daring to lose her friend, to drop the transmission, Hayate immediately asks if her connection to Fate can be sheltered from the wave. The reply isn’t a merry one.
She turns back to the screen, heart rushing, and suddenly everything seems to stop for her. All she can see in the small screen is Fate’s petrified face, eyes wide with disbelief, fear, hope. Before she can ask Fate what happened, her friend’s mouth moves, voicing words Hayate never expected to hear just before the screen turns black.
“A…Alicia…Onee-san…”
Duster:
Writing is already a problem, big problem since the day I was born. Doesn’t really matter what kind: essay, novel, not-to-mention poem… they are all my life’s worst enemy. It was unclear when this fear occurred. For sure, though, for days I’ve dreamed about it: If, one day at the end of the world and aliens are about to eat planet Earth, the only way to save humanity is for me to compose a story using ABCs’ is equally as saying everyone just die already. I’ve always thought it’s already obvious and totally clear after you read my writing. Duster is not a writer. She writes pretty small too.
Yeah, admit it, Ensei’s post below is actually very lengthy. Still, she gets her point across so that’s a check for her. Me? The longest update I had ever done (probably this) can make people scratch the heads while trying to dig the main idea. So, Ensei also writes stories. She may not have the best novel technique in the world, but at least it has a good, strong flow that gives her another honorable check. I know you are probably asking something from me that has the same degree to compare with her. It’s your lucky day, such meal is already prepared… way before I decided to serve this random babble. Below passage came from Duster’s attempt to compose a novel like writing (for Ensei’s Nanoha novel):
Miles away from the scene, in the apartment, Nanoha watched silently at the video which came through from the attack. An uneasy feeling seems to crawl all over her heart. The eyebrows narrowed. As worse as the mission may look, Nanoha still believes, and always has, that Hayate would never betray her words. It will just be like always, Hayate finishes the mission with a clear ending; Signum’s injuries will recover soon like usual; And Fate, will return home soon, too.
… Right, I heard it, the sound of your head hitting against the keyboard, literary lovers.
If you are still breathing, feel free take the advantage of the comment feature from this blog to bash this that whole thing. So here, the most authentic proof that can be offered. It’s a mistake to believe that I can write only because I draw comics. Ensei is already a victim, so no more casualties. From now on I’ll only do post when there is an image along. Never gonna have a pure post with just words again!
Ensei:
Alright, sorry for not being here awhile to check on the blog or to reply or update etc. etc.
Although, like I said before, I’m very busy. So if everyone here don’t mind, I would like to complain for a bit… then I’ll get to the news
With school started all chaos brought down on me like crazy. First off, I’m cheap, so this years books are all “must buy,” which sadly it ate away most of my saving (for a PS3+few other PS2/3 games T__T). Then since this is my third year, I need to find a internship soon. For money of course! Oh, experience too I suppose… Then classes, oh how I loathe some of them. Reason being, I don’t understand why I have to take them in the first place.
For example, English as in creative writing. Why do I need to know how to write poems? Worst, freestyle poetry. I love older English poetries, not for the rhyme but its self expressiveness that are more grand than most the modern poems. So I felt like shooting myself when our first discussion was a poem about a dead goat sangs.
Then art, my second time taking a class like this here at Purdue, probably my last too. Not blaming anyone, it’s just art isn’t my major or minor. Although, the teacher I have for this year, he have the voice to put people to sleep. Also of course, for something can be said in one minute, he can stretch to fifteen. I promise that isn’t a lie, since other people fall asleep just like I did. Yes, in art.
Next, we have management. Well consider we need to know things about marketing, it’s reasonable to also know things in the management field. So why is it feel like law school? *looks over at the text book* Ohhh~ because it is a book about laws. Wait…what? Yeah, I don’t quite understand this class myself beside the fact the professor for this course is a lawyer. Although change management into law because of his profession seems to be a bit absurd. Not to mention the textbook for this class is over a hundred not counting the work book.
Then computer graphics tech. made us bought a book online. It turn out, the book we all will be paying for, it’s just a .pdf file that’s around 200 pages worth of text. Of course when the student found out, they didn’t buy it. Don’t worry, the teacher pull a fast one on us so we do have to buy the book no matter what. Since there are homework that are due online, it need a username, with the username being the serial number of the book we will be ordering… ahahaha…*sigh* my money TT_________TT
Last two is Japanese and Physics. Both of them really hard… the end…
So I thought that was kind fun to share, like a person’s pain is others joy type of deal =D
Ah one more thing, besides the 19hr credits I’m taking. I also got an internship working for my professor’s company XDD Cell phone game design too. So I thought that’s pretty cool. Then for part-time, I might be working for the Chinese teachers. Apparently, most of the TA they have here, can’t speak very well of Chinese, which I thought it’s weird. Maybe because the people can speak well of Chinese aren’t interest in the language but are more focus on their major (mostly being chemistry/biology/math/physics). Oh well who knows, I’ll found out later.
As everyone now can see, school is taking over my life. My life is still my life, in fact very normal, it just got taken over without me really knowing it. So from now on I’ll just update news and lyrics for songs and random sketches. Comic… I really love to continue it, but not sure if I actually have the time. SO, if I do update it, don’t get hyper and think the next one would come soon after.
p.s. the reason I deleted my comic is because for one it isn’t even done. Second I rather not show something that’s not done, and making people think I would get more out later. Three there is a chance I might just drop it.
=============================
Alright for other news.
Winter Season Anime list:
Sisters of Wellber Zwei
very gay don’t watch it, the first season sucked, I don’t see how can they make up with the second.
Rosario to Vampire
the manga actually got better later, still not that great in story telling. Although Gonzo just made it into a fan service show… so this is also lame, don’t watch it. As much I love Moka’s demonic vampire voice, it’s just not worth it.
H2O ~FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND~
I never even watch the first episode, so no idea what is like, I only know the preview for it was very stupid. So if anyone like harem show this might be the one for you.
Hatenkou Yuugi
not interest in it, but it’s from a manga adoption.
MAJOR 4th season
err… the fourth season…. yeah so if you like the first three, you should watch it. For others… it’s all depending on you.
PERSONA – trinity soul -
interesting, might borrow the game from a friend so know more about it. Even though it have nothing to do with the game. In the anime, lot of things are predictable, but still enjoyable to watch. Plus the animation have good quality with nice opening song.
Zoku Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
if you like the first season, the second season is the same. Although I find this hard to watch some times, because it’s too mindless, like nothing make sense, they just do whatever they feel like. Well at least some times the randomness are funny. Ah also the ending is very very nice.
true tears
still thinking…… I didn’t like the first episode though. If the story picks up, I’ll try it again.
Shigofumi
I like the mini story arcs. The story telling is interesting. I can see a lot of potential from this, also considering this is a novel adoption, it shouldn’t be bad. Since Shinigami no Ballad was pretty good (anime and the novel).
Kimi ga Aruji de Shitsuji ga Ore de
too random… don’t like. reminded me of Kaibutsu Oujo, which was horrible screw up.
Porfy no Nagai Tabi
this one I know nothing about… please check out yourselves.
Minami-ke ~Okawari~
mn, like this show a lot, reminded me of Azumanga Daioh. Although it have somewhat of a story than AD. The second season is done by a different studio. In my opinion, the art style and the character design and animation are much better than the first season, because half the time when I watch first season, I keep on thinking they are the same age but just some are shorter and others are taller. I don’t really have the problem with minor errors on the usage of bgms. Over all it’s just fun to watch. (side note, fav characters are Touma and Mako-chan, they are the best)
ARIA The ORIGINATION
please read the manga, I beg of you. The anime just ruin the whole feel of the storytelling.
GUNSLINGER GIRL -IL TEATRINO-
the most disappointing show for me this season. I was so looking forward to this, but it turn out to be so bad(animation)/crappy(storytelling)/lame(characters are out of character) it’s making me pulling my hair out. Since I love the first season enough to actually bought the dvds….. i give up….
Ookami to Koushinryou
interesting indeed, just as the novel. Character are very closely animated to the original, the voice acting also nice, love the opening and ending. Watch it if you like journey type of anime.
Noramimi
Hakaba Kitarou
Moegaku★５
Yatterman
not sure about any of those…..
Mnemosyne – Mnemosyne no Musume-tachi -
this is also interesting, i know nothing about this, but the trailer showing this to be promising storytelling/animation. I’ll be looking forward to this six episode anime (but it’s an hour long per episode).
===========
Game news
This isn’t really a news, but when I went to Wisconsin with my friend. I got Final Fantasy Tactics for the PSP. Great story telling, battle system is something to get use to, the voice acting is also nice, also they all speak in old english, which is another plus. The only complain I have is that, the job systems are really hard to get, mainly ninja and samurai (don’t really care for dark knight and mimic). Also, the battle is way harder than the PS1 version… =___=
Also, I posted a unfinished drawing before I went to Wisconsin. That is actually the drawing of the main character from a game called Fragile -farewell ruins of the moon-. An rpg for the Wii that’s in the making. I love the bgm that’s playing on the site, so if you have time you should check it out. So far not much is know about the game besides the trailer. It has that feeling of Silent Hill, just without blood and random looking creatures. It’s interesting alright. So looking forward to this.
Final Fantasy Crisis Core is about to come out in America(march 25 for now, unless they change it AGAIN), thought I should up load a video for it. I’m going to buy this just because my friends want me to get it. Reason? I’m the only one who actually own a PSP, everyone else have a DS…. HA! who’s laughing now? HUH?!
