No! It makes him unaware of his surroundings and situation...hence making it possible to slip him a drink... Or so my theory goes I like mine better. Just 'cause it actually makes sense to me.

DDR = Dance Dance Revolution
Its an arcade game where you 'dance' Its really step on arrows to teh beat, but its a lot of fun and a pretty good work out. Which every time I'm with Naoki and Miguel in person I hafta remind them of my unspoken vow not to do it.

You're not likely to see ME doing it, EITHER! [In RL, I can't dance to save my life!] It requires no skill at dancing nor will it help give you any practice at actual dancing skill. Seriously, there are 4 arrows, each at cardinal direactions, and you step on them in time with arrows on screen. Even less similar to real dancing then walking. That Yu-Gi-Oh Episode where Mia and that guy pretty much played it was so overdone... with teh breakdancing and everything... it made no rational sense. But, then again, neither does most of that show.

Also, you can add in dancing and flashy movements if you want. I do all teh time! Spins, jumps, arm movements....it's all fun! And that girl in teh one "mock-ddr" epp was Anzu (Tea).

Yeah, I realized that after I logged off. I never did give a crap about those couple of characters enough to bother and keep their names straight. P.S. teh people who can't do it probably aren't that masterful at video games in general either (unless you count most sports games, which require no sense of rhythmic movement [some do, and those couple are teh only ones I like] [Oh, and teh classic-style RPG, though that stuff can still help in hitting teh commands in menus faster and moree efficiently I guess]).

"W-what!? REFUSE!!?" Vic felt his heart sink into his shoes--this was EXACTLY what he had feared! And whether Sesshomaru was SERIOUS, or merely "testing" him, it STILL meant that Vic was gonna get teh WORST of whatever teh Youkai had up his sleeve [Well, teh one that DIDN'T have an arm in it, anyway...] Hoping to maybe shorten this "ordeal", Vic managed to forget his pride--STILL not easy for him, especially under THESE circumstances, and considering that it was teh DAMNED "FLUFFY"!--and got down on his hands and knees.......something he hadn't done since his very FIRST days in teh syndicate, when it had meant his continued survival....He tried again with teh plea-- "I BEG you, Lord Sesshomaru, PLEASE! I've come to wuv Rin as a daughter--MY daughter--and I dearly wish to continue being not just her Guardian, but.......her Father...." Because Vic had kept his head down, like a proper "supplicant", he didn't SEE teh open surprise that crossed over Sesshomaru's face! "This Human--Vic--has such FEELING for my Rin!" he thought, not sure if he CARED for that........but still rather impressed, nonetheless...! Perhaps because he DID feel uncertain in this situation--deep down, Sesshomaru LOVED Rin just as MUCH as Vic, tho' he might not be willing to admit it--or perhaps because he DID want to be assured of Vic's convictions, Sesshomaru instead HARDENED his voice and demeanor, then proclaimed: "If I were to grant you this wish, Vic-Human, WHAT will you give ME, in exchange!? Something "precious", something you VALUE!?" Vic's head snapped up, his face pale with disbelief--and FEAR! NOT fear for himself, but for what ELSE teh Youkai might demand, teh only thing that Vic DID value above himself--his Family! "What.......what would you demand of me, Lord Sesshomaru....?" he asked quietly, teh steadiness of his voice belying teh turmoil in his heart.......... To be Continued-- "Your arm, Vic-Human--your LEFT arm, to replace teh one I..........lost..." answered Sesshomaru, aware that Vic probably knew how that arm had really been "lost", cut off by InuYasha, another world ago..... "My arm....." Vic repeated, both relieved and appalled--relieved that teh Youkai Lord had NOT asked for Cheza or teh child she carried--or even his Life, tho' he HAD had that once before, and had given it back--but also appalled by what he WAS asking for....... "CAN I live without my left arm? Of COURSE I can! But how will I EXPLAIN this to Cheza.......to RIN!?" Vic thought, knowing that such knowledge would HURT his little girl were she to KNOW about it, "She would blame HERSELF for what I had sacrificed for her sake, so I'll hafta come up with something......SOMETHING....!" Vic's frustration and teh strain of dealing with teh ALWAYS difficult Sesshomaru was beginning to wear on him, and not a naturally patient person about being jerked around [it made him feel helpless, and Vic HATED--and even feared--feeling helpless, especially in a dangerous situation], he began to get ANGRY, angry at this DAMN "DOG", angry at his Fear, and ANGRY that he would hafta LIE to Rin about it ALL! "All RIGHT, LORD Sesshomaru--you can HAVE my left arm, if that's what you INSIST!" he snapped, removing his suit coat and unbuttoning his shirt-- "And with ANY luck, someone will BEAT you with it!!" was his now furious thought! They were not only isolated from most of teh Reception crowd, but behind a small garden shed as well, completely hidden from view to everyone else, so Vic knew that as long as he didn't yell, teh chances were that they could get this OVER with right HERE and NOW--and THEN, perhaps, he would NEVER hafta go NEAR this DAMN Youkai-Devil AGAIN!!! He removed his shirt, then braced his left hand against teh side of teh shed--after removing his Wedding Ring [he had eventually saved enough to buy a set of simple silver wedding bands for him and Cheza] "I guess I'll hafta wear it on my RIGHT hand from now on..."--and waited............. To be Continued--

You're not likely to see ME doing it, EITHER! [In RL, I can't dance to save my life!] Neither can ME... or Rosey... or Mom... and yet we all three play it. Granted I play much less than those other two, and am still on "beginner" mode. Rosey and mom have a PS2 with DDR for it so they play ALL teh TIME... and are on Light mode.

Yes, he IS! I have a question, tho'--What on EARTH is Kyohei WEARING in that pic!? He looks like he was dressed by one of Hina's JRockers!! [And that's NOT a "compliment", noda!!!] He probably was. teh manga-ka of 'teh Wallflower' (also known as 'Perfect Girl Evolution'), is a huuuuge J-Rock fan and bases a lot of her characters on different idols... In teh manga itself, though, he wears regular clothes. Like this: And I seriously hope HMC comes to a theater near me! I definitely wanna view that eye candy!!!

Well we COULD get Pip, Schu, Tasuki, and Gojyo (ever notice teh ones who get drunk and/or have teh shortest temper have red or redish hair?) to Challenge him... only then it would end up with those four singing lewd Bandit songs led by Pip and Tasuki, and yami wouldn't actually get anything to drink because they'd've drunk it all. We shall think on this. Err, actually I have another story plot in mind for Pip and Gojyo...

Gojyo was standing by teh remains of teh buffet table, shaking his head in disgust.
"I knew I should've gotten here before that stupid monkey," he said to himself as Goku ran by being chased by what looked like an Obi.
He heard someone clear their throat behind him. He slowly turned.
"Listen 'ere, antennae 'ead, don't think I've forgotten about teh money you owe me!" Pip said, his arms folded across his chest.
Gojyo sighed, "Listen here, Cyclops! For teh last time! They're not antennae! It's hair! And I can't pay you teh money I owe you because I have a family to take care of now!" Gojyo's face was almost as red as his hair at this point.
'Cyclops. That's original,' Pip thought to himself.
" 'air or not, you look like a cockroach. Besides, I 'eard you and your wife both got jobs, so you can start to pay me back. By teh way, I don't take checks..."
Gojyo sighed, 'I'm never gonna get this guy off my back, am I?'
He took out a cigarette.* "Listen, I'll think of something to pay you back, all right. Just give me some time to think."
Pip eyed him suspiciously. "That sounds fair. But just remember, don't even think of skipping town. Don't forget I'm a mercenary and can track you down..."
Gojyo huffed. "Don't worry, Francois. I have every intention of holding to my promise. And don't bother sending your little vampire girlfriend to spy on me."
At this, Pip was thrown off guard, which was teh effect Gojyo intended. He stuffed his hands in his pocket and turned to leave. He looked over his shoulder at Pip. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a monkey boy to go and find."
to be continued... at some point
*I couldn't remember if Gojyo had quit smoking or not...
How was that, Stampers! If you wanna add to it, you may.

At teh reception, I run into Mr. Asaro. I felt this was a good time to introduce myself.
"Mr. Simon Asaro? I'm Mrs. Snapdragon Nagira. It's a pleasure to meet you!"
Mr. Asaro seem surprised at first, but then took my hand.
"Y-yes. I'm sorry that we've never met before. There are still so many people here I've yet to meet. Do you work here at teh hotel?"
I smile, "I co-operate teh hotel with Peanutcat. I also work as a teacher at teh school."
Mr. Asaro looked a bit confused. "I wasn't aware there was another owner of teh building. I had thought it was only Mr. Wolfwood."
"Yes, well he owns teh building. He's so busy running teh orphanage that Peanutcat and I took on teh operations of teh hotel ourselves. I apologize for not meeting you initially, but I was still on maternity leave."
His eyes brightened, "Oh, you're a new mother then! Well congratulations!"
"Thank you very much. That's my husband over there," I say, pointing to where Amon was sitting. "He teaches teh magic classes at teh school and I help him out with teh older students and another associate, Miho Karasuma, helps with teh younger ones."
He looks over to where I point. "Well, he's certainly a handsome young man. So you say you teach magic classes?"
"Yes. There are so many exceptional students here that we felt it was neccesary to train them to use their different abilities responsibly so they can have complete control over them. That way, they won't accidentally hurt themselves or others and they're less likely to be consumed by teh madness that some fall victim to," I explain to him.
He nods in understanding. "That's very responsible of you and your husband. You seem to have a good head on your shoulders."
I smile humbly, "Let's just say it runs in teh family..."
I can't rememebr if anything I may have touched upon was actually coverd in teh initial storyline. If so, I apologize...

I don't think teh people below me want me jumping around on teh 25th floor.
And you'd be amazed what people can do Xer. I've seen guys do much like teh break dancing Tea did. Its something to watch. I wanna get that good someday....

Actually, I think I'm gonna' do this like a "poll", of sorts [and I want some SUGGESTIONS!!!]-- --Who should catch teh Bride's Bouquet? Emi. Or Xer. heh heh heh heh... It doesn't matter. Anything that could happen in this situation would pale in comparison if Xer caught teh bouquet. I don't know. But I wanna see it get into a fight with teh evil obi. Hmmm... that requires thought, doesn't it? Then, no. That cute song that Rin sang last night! A fake tetsusaiga?
