nextguardianHey, good to hear from you! Hope all is well with you! Things are the same old, same old here pretty much. Naruto (just the manga at this point) has been inspiring me for Okuden, so I totally get that! Can't wait to see more of your work.

I'm glad you're still reading! Serving and Okuden are two of my favorites that I've written. My new Resident Evil fic is pushing that, though. I got bitten by the RE bug.

YunieXTidus on August 10, 2013, 10:25:26 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusRight now I'm working on a Supernatural fic, and I've got several other ficlets in the works, but if the bf plays much more Ninja Storm I'm gonna have to start writing hardcore.

I'm in the process of getting caught up on Okuden, and I just finished turning Serving into a pdf so I can send it to my kindle.  

You in school? Working? Got a girlfriend yet? ;)

nextguardian on August 13, 2013, 8:58:47 AM

nextguardianSounds like good stuff. (sorry for the late reply, btw. I forgot to check your profile. It's been a while since I've chatted with anyone steadily on here). Hope to see some of these ficlets soon!

Hopefully you'll have fun with those fics. I certainly did writing them! I'm thinking of putting my Resident Evil fic on ff.net. Despite the OC use out of necessity, I think it might be ff.net speed.

Going back to school come September (maybe; unsure as of now). I was working four jobs at one point. One position got downsized, One l left for health reasons (I was working security at a nursing home in the middle of construction, and I was sick as a dog every time I went there. Some kind of allergy or some such), one I left because there was no room for advancement and I got the managers in a few lies, and the other one I'm not sure if I'll go back to or not. I've got a job interview tomorrow, though, so hopefully that will work out. Work and school haven't been lucky lately, lol. As for the girlfriend thing, nah. Had my eye on three girls- two were engaged (seriously, how the hell did I manage that? One engaged I understand, but two?!), and the other has a boyfriend. So, no progress there. I'm going to shelve that particular desire until my luck takes an upturn, I think. One of the ones that is now married is going to be the 'one that got away', I think.

But it's not all bad. There's some other stuff going on that's plenty fun to make up for all the crap, so I really can't complain :)

How about you?

YunieXTidusHi! Sorry I haven't been on in forever  

i was wondering if you could put your serving fic into chunks of PDFs! I have a new kindle and want to read your fic :)

nextguardianWhen you're on, if you could drop me a note on my profile, I need some advice regarding an odd, delicate situation.

YunieXTidus on August 28, 2012, 8:56:37 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHi! I'm so sorry, my summer has been crazy as all get-out.

Yes, I am an X-men fan!

Also, feel free to email me or instant message me about this delicate situation. Sorry it's a week late.

nextguardian on August 31, 2012, 7:19:42 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt's ok.

I might have an interesting fic on that subject sometime soon. An interesting change for me. I've got some HolmesxKitty Pryde going on in it, since Scott's love life is pretty much non-existent in Wolverine and the X-Men, which was the basis for this. I should say, the short-lived (too short lived, really) cartoon was the basis.

I'll drop you an email. This is an interesting predicament for me.

nextguardian on September 3, 2012, 2:08:42 PM

nextguardianlol, awesome. Just awesome XD

I'm on my second time through TNG, and Riker is less obnoxious this time for some reason. Wesley and Dr. Crusher, though...still wanna blast them out an airlock. Same with Troi seasons 1-3. I really wish they'd done more with Ensign Ro.

Sounds like a good idea for a fic. I'd certainly read it :)

nextguardian on June 20, 2012, 12:29:53 PM

nextguardianThanks for the comments, btw! Hopefully the big conclusion to 'Serving' didn't disappoint!

YunieXTidus on June 21, 2012, 9:19:21 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIt didn't! I was really moved by it. I have two chapters left of the "after" arc, but my internet shut down. On the bright side I got a tablet for my birthday! I can now color my pictures beautifully. :3

nextguardian on June 21, 2012, 11:09:54 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThank you ^^ I tried really hard to tie everything together at the end in an interesting way.

Awesome! I always come close to buying a tablet, but I don't think I'd give it enough good use to warrant it. Good luck with yours! What kind did you get, may I ask?

YunieXTidus on June 21, 2012, 11:14:44 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI got the Bamboo Tablet- I think "create." If you Google bamboo Tablet, it should list 3 and I got the green one. The cheapest one xD

nextguardian on June 22, 2012, 11:18:46 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat's the one I keep almost getting! I heard very good things about it from a friend on FAC. Midnight_Chaos I think it was.

YunieXTidus on June 22, 2012, 11:21:52 AM

YunieXTidusI haven't had the chance to test it out yet but I'm gonna have so much fun.

nextguardian on June 23, 2012, 10:28:33 AM

nextguardianLike I said, you're a good artist so you'll get good use out of it. It really does sharpen art imho.

YunieXTidus on June 23, 2012, 10:32:38 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYeah. I can't wait. Some of my future drawings, like hisako transformed, need vibrant colors to do it justice.

Monday, remind me to work on your yuji/Sakura smut fic! I've got it halfway done, but keep forgetting about it.

nextguardian on June 24, 2012, 10:45:22 AM

nextguardianYour work will definitely benefit from it ^^ Mind you, the quality is already there.

I'll try to remember!

nextguardianThat's okay. Sounds like good stuff. I've been toying with a Holmes/Selar pairing (that Vulcan Doctor from Season 2. Long live Pulaski- at least compared to Crusher!)

Take your time. There's been a lot of updates, and it's all near the end. Enjoy.

Nothing new here. Never is, lol. At least, nothing interesting.

I'm just about to go take a look at your Origins update. Thanks for letting me know you updated!

YunieXTidus on June 1, 2012, 5:02:06 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusSure! Thanks for checking it out! I didn't manage to post the next chapter -_- It's fighting being written. If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to email you what I've got so you can help me a bit.

nextguardianI would very much enjoy seeing that pic! Please share!

'Serving' has been further updated. Yuji's fight against Sasuke is better digested all at once so I wanted to get it up ASAP. Enjoy!

YunieXTidus on April 9, 2012, 1:26:47 PM

YunieXTidusI emailed you the picture :)

nextguardian on April 11, 2012, 11:33:45 AM

nextguardianLoved your last pic, too. Hisako's 'I'm so in love with you Tenzo' expression was really great!

YunieXTidus on April 11, 2012, 12:14:54 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm glad the emotion conveyed itself properly! That makes me really glad to hear. I can't scan them to post until my mom comes home with her computer, and that may be a while.

What are you up to tonight?

nextguardian on April 12, 2012, 12:28:25 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThe emotion was crystal clear. And lol, Tenzo is a bit shy, isn't he? Or maybe just surprised.

Tonight? Let me see...besides updating 'Okuden Chronicles', not much. You?

YunieXTidus on April 15, 2012, 5:19:58 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusSurprised! Cause normally Hisako's too unsure to show affection like that. But in the mornings, her guard is down. Lol.

So sorry, didn't realize you'd responded. Been looking at cosplay for final fantasy 9. Just browsing the net.

Btw, I saw a movie with Jadzia in it, it made me think of you. It's Hellraiser III. Obviously a horror movie, but she's the main protagonist, and I thought you might want to check it out. ;)

nextguardian on April 16, 2012, 6:48:09 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, I'm the same way in the morning. Before I'm totally awake I'll be thinking/doing odd (for me) things

That's okay. I was busying hunting for some obscure Japanese movies.

Thanks for letting me know! I'm going to have to watch that one ASAP.

YunieXTidus on April 16, 2012, 7:01:41 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAccording to Aaron, I'm "glowy" in the mornings.

I'm getting sick T_T I'm feeling that achy tiredness that's trademark "ill." You know what I mean?

How've you been?

Glad I could help you out ;) She has light hair in this movie! I was surprised, and at first without the dark hair and the trill spots I didn't recognize her.

nextguardian on April 16, 2012, 1:35:45 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAccording to my mirror, I'm retarded in the morning XD

I hear ya --' I hate that feeling. The anticipation is the worst when you're sick. The 'how bad will it be' part, I mean.

I've been okay, thank you. How about you? Been amusing myself by watching the Big Bang Theory bloopers on youtube. The show is hysterical when they don't screw up, so when they do it's hilarious.

Can't picture her with light hair, but that won't be a problem soon, hopefully!

YunieXTidus on April 24, 2012, 2:39:24 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI've been alright! Getting a job this summer (or two), and moving into my own place in the fall. Pretty nervous, but also really excited!

How about you? How've you been?

I'm watching Shippuden some more to possibly gain some inspiration on my story.

nextguardian on April 26, 2012, 6:50:11 AM

nextguardianSounds like that's plenty to keep you good and busy for a while ^^ Best of luck with both of those monumental tasks!

I've been fine, thanks.

YunieXTidus on April 1, 2012, 1:37:21 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI think Sakura and Ino would be interesting... Any particular preference for initial plot?

I'm good, thanks. Got into a spat with my bf last night, and resolved it this morning, so I'm feeling pretty good about that. How about you?

No problem! I enjoy your work, and like to tell you so!

nextguardian on April 1, 2012, 1:40:13 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNot especially. I could see Ino being the one in control and calling the shots, but beyond that...

I'm not too bad, thank you. Feeling some major relief. My Dad wound up in the hospital for a heart issue, but as it turns out someone read his EKG wrong and he was actually fine. So maybe some leftover stress from the scare, but I can't complain beyond that.

Thanks! About this last chapter of Okuden- was Lord Hokage's speech appropriate? And was Chiyoko's death/final act fitting?

YunieXTidus on April 1, 2012, 1:52:57 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusSorry to hear that. Glad to know he's alright, though.

Yes. I thought the death was kind of sudden, I wasn't really sure what was going on until the casket was mentioned. But it was very moving.

nextguardian on April 1, 2012, 1:56:43 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThanks ^^ He's had heart trouble before, so it was extra worrisome this time.

That's what I thought, too. In my mind, I could see it anime-style, just kind of fading to black as Hayate threatens the mystery attacker; then suddenly we're at the funeral. It didn't play out as clearly on paper.

Oh, and you were absolutely right- I was totally mixing up Hisako and Amy! I had intended to make Hisako high energy and maybe a little gruff towards her team, but then Amy just took over XD

YunieXTidus on April 1, 2012, 1:58:58 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAh, I can understand that. I have a hard time with transitions sometimes.

xD Amy tends to do that. I'd just keep in mind that Hisako is much more laid back. She does some light teasing, and is brutally honest, but rarely is she as brusque as Amy. I think... I think 'bristly' would be a good term to describe Amy. It takes a special kind to put up with her shenannigans.

nextguardian on April 1, 2012, 2:01:04 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI think part of me got so excited to get to the funeral that I didn't do as good a job as I could have, in addition to transitions being a weak point of mine.

I'll tone her down a bit in the future, lol. Since most of this is happening when she's still a kid, maybe i can write it off as youthful exuberance? XD

YunieXTidus on April 1, 2012, 2:02:35 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusDepends on what age. Cause she goes through some bullshoot as a kid that leads to her introversion.

nextguardian on April 1, 2012, 2:10:13 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianFor the sake of not knowing her complete story I've basically skipped the part of childhood that I'm guessing all that takes place in. I don't want to make a wrong move on a story I'm not totally familiar with.

YunieXTidus on April 1, 2012, 2:23:02 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWhat age did your story take place in?

nextguardian on April 1, 2012, 2:36:45 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianLet me see...currently they're all roughly 18-19, then the genjutsu flashback takes places two years prior, 16-17. The flashabck where they all meet takes places at 12-13, maybe fourteen. Roughly speaking. The only person who age I've set is Yuji's. If you have a preference I can add it.

YunieXTidus on March 24, 2012, 2:27:46 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI definitely will, once I get a little more insight onto how to play out her childhood.

nextguardian on March 24, 2012, 2:37:36 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianMaybe making her an extreme version of her older self would be the way to go? Kind of like Jiraiya was a major screw-up as a kid, and kind of kept that personality trait as he got older. With her persona, it would be fun to see her be totally blunt to high-ranking people imho

nextguardian on March 24, 2012, 2:45:32 PM

nextguardianPardon me, but I've got to go for tonight. It was great getting to catch up with you again! We haven't talked like this in quite a while. Hopefully it won't be so long between sessions in the future!

YunieXTidusSorry I missed you tonight. Also, I'm pm'ing you the link to my facebook profile, so you can add me if you want to. If not, that's fine too :)

nextguardian on March 18, 2012, 11:33:44 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm glad you're feeling better and things worked out :) If that was the first fight, you can relax- now the pressure is off, right?

I will text you as soon as I find my &$*#ing cell phone! I saw it briefly, didn't have time to pick it up and then totally forgot where I saw it --' Frick! I swear, I haven't forgotten about texting!

YunieXTidus on March 18, 2012, 11:39:04 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIt was actually the second fight. But yes, that's true. :)

No worries xD

nextguardian on March 19, 2012, 10:28:53 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAh, well then, you can consider yourselves 'normal', right? And the pressure is REALLY off!

YunieXTidus on March 19, 2012, 10:47:00 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD Normal. Oh, I'm sure there'll be more fights. With our personalities, it's bound to happen.

How've you been?

nextguardian on March 20, 2012, 12:14:44 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAbsolutely. Just the way relationships work, be it friendship or otherwise. Like I want to kick my friend in the nuts right now. I wouldn't normally say that, but flaunting that his Japanese potential-gf wants to take a dip in a hot spring with him...it kind of pisses me off. Possibly going to Japan is bad enough, but with a girl...unfair. And to a co-ed hot spring? That @$$hole! lol. What was I talking about?

Anyway, I've been okay. Wanted to ask your permission to put Hisako in a fic. It isn't your RQ, but some vague idea finally struck me and I wanted to make sure it was cool with you.

nextguardian on March 21, 2012, 10:59:29 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNew fic up, btw! This is the idea I mentioned in my previous post. If you have any objections to Hisako's use, please let me know!

http://www.fanart-central.net/chapter-102659.html

YunieXTidus on March 21, 2012, 11:04:39 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHey I have no objection whatsoever! I'll go take a look.

I've been itching to write that MI-5 story I talked about but can't think of an opening or a plot.

nextguardian on March 21, 2012, 11:29:42 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAwesome! I've just updated Serving again. I don't think you've read the previous chapter, so just a heads up there.

I hate it when that happens --' It's so frustrating! I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with regardless.

YunieXTidus on March 21, 2012, 11:35:08 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI've got several one-shots in the works, but I've been feeling my IruHisa fic calling me. But, I'm not sure how I should have them meet again. Any ideas?

nextguardian on March 22, 2012, 12:05:01 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianLet's see...how about having Hisako be some sort of associate instructor at the Academy? That gives them an excuse to meet through work.

Or you could have Iruka be head of a squad that Hisako is a part of. There's always that route.

YunieXTidus on March 22, 2012, 12:06:23 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThose are two angles I'd definitely love to look into.

So what's up tonight?

YunieXTidus on March 24, 2012, 9:17:08 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAlso, I just posted another story, exploring Hisako's origins, like I talked with you about before, if you remember. I'd love for you to check it out! It's just the first chapter right now and it's really short, but I'll be adding more soon. :)

http://www.fanart-central.net/story-59483.html

nextguardian on March 24, 2012, 11:53:54 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAbsolutely I'll check it out! And I'll look forward to seeing you add to it.

To answer your previous question- last night was time to get some sleep. Had a really stressful week between dropping my Statistics class and refereeing THE worst game I have ever been involved in! We had 20 people fighting at once. Good God, by the time we sorted all that out I was exhausted.

nextguardian on March 24, 2012, 12:30:39 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianbtw, what color IS Hisako's hair technically? I'm saying 'brown' for now, but that doesn't sound right for some reason...

YunieXTidus on March 24, 2012, 12:37:47 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIt's reddish brown. For a reference, look at the Valentine pic i drew for you last year.

Alchemest already reviewed my new story. :3

nextguardian on March 24, 2012, 12:39:24 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAh, okay. Thank you. I did look at that pic and went with 'brown'.

I just commented not long ago.

Speaking of that, I just updated Okuden Chronicles.

YunieXTidus on March 24, 2012, 12:45:53 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusSaw that! I'm reading it now.

Also, thanks for commenting. :)

nextguardian on March 24, 2012, 12:49:45 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThanks! Let me know how I did with Hisako. I think I may have made her too...Amy. XD Well, you'll see.

No problem!

YunieXTidus on March 24, 2012, 12:59:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD I dunno, I kinda like it. She's obviously comfortable with the two of them. I'm interested to see how their dynamic plays out.

How old were Naruto/Sakura/etc when they first were enrolled in the academy? I remember they were little kids. 12?

nextguardian on March 24, 2012, 1:02:42 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat's exactly what I was hoping to get across. Or rather, they're comfortable, and they accept Yuji, though he's kind of a dick XD Their team dynamic is fun so far ^^

Let's see...I think 12. That sounds about right.

YunieXTidus on March 24, 2012, 1:06:08 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIs it plausible that that's the first time Hisako and Sakura would meet? Or would it be sooner, like on the village playground or something?

nextguardian on March 24, 2012, 1:18:08 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt's plausible absolutely. The only thing I definitely established is that they were friends before the attack. I didn't give much thought to it beyond that to be honest. I was too busy focusing on how Hisako could use her water-related abilities. Did you ever decide more on her attack style?

YunieXTidus on March 24, 2012, 1:22:00 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNo I meant in regard to my story, is it plausible that Hisako and Sakura met at Academy, instead of before.

No, I didn't give it much thought. I really saw her using taijutsu coupled with her water abilities on offensive, and using the water as a shield/propellant on the defensive. Of course, shoot gets crazy after her transformation. She's like, Kisame x 5.

Speaking of Kisame. Did we learn any more about his clan or whatever? Cause I wanted to play with that, but I didn't really know how to without f'ing up canon.

nextguardian on March 24, 2012, 1:38:06 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, absolutely. I would totally buy them having met when they were younger.It might be interesting to have them start out not really being friends. Or better yet, you could do a whole rivalry thing with Hisako and Ino.

Ah okay then. I can work with that. It wasn't too far from what I was guessing. Thanks for clearing that up.

I'm on the volume that gets into that now. Haven't finished yet. But so far it's basically reaffirmed the whole Mist Village deal with killing your own comrades when necessary.

YunieXTidus on March 24, 2012, 1:40:14 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusSo I basically get free reign?

nextguardian on March 24, 2012, 1:51:04 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWith regard to Kisame? Pretty much. Like I said, I'm not totally up to date with that. So far as I know, go for it!

YunieXTidus on March 24, 2012, 1:53:55 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm just not really sure how to do it. Like, Hisako's father dead maybe? Like, none of their clan survived but Kisame? Maybe he killed them all? I think I may have her leave Konoha and join the Akatsuki for a while.

nextguardian on March 24, 2012, 2:03:16 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat all sounds like an interesting path, I think. Some tragedy to justify her being 'bad' for a while. Gives you an excuse to make her more aggressive. Makes her stand out a bit. I like it ^^

YunieXTidus on March 24, 2012, 2:07:59 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, I'm thinking a scenario like when Naruto found out he was possessed by the Fox, but she gets pissed off and leaves. How could they deprive her of her birthright, of all this power?

Or maybe Konoha annihilates her clan (obviously Kisame had left to do his swordsman thing), and when she finds out who she is, on top of her family being dead by the people who locked her away... She snaps.

YunieXTidusHey, sorry I missed you. My date did go well, thanks for asking. I'm about to read Serving in a bit. Haven't done much to your V-Day present, or the one that you'd actually enjoy, lol. Did I ever finish the Yu-Saku one that I shared bits of where they had sex? I can't remember, lol.

Hope life is treating you well, hope you find your phone soon so you can text me!

nextguardian on March 4, 2012, 3:01:42 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNo problem. Glad to hear your date went well :) I'm not sure...I don't think you did finish it, but you did send me a promising preview!

Life is okay. We're co-existing peacefully, anyway. Hopefully I'll find it soon ><' (Dual meaning. A life and my phone)

YunieXTidus on March 4, 2012, 1:43:53 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm not sure if I can find it now. -_- I switched computers so I dunno where everything is.

You'll find them both eventually! xD

Sorry I missed you AGAIN. Dx

nextguardian on March 7, 2012, 7:20:13 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianMy turn to apologize. Been ridiculously busy. Refereeing is wrapping up, so March gets hectic. There's this last burst of games to ref, and then...silence. Nada. lol.

Anyway, that happens. I hate losing things in a computer shuffle --'

YunieXTidus on March 7, 2012, 7:30:47 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI see, I see. That's quite alright.

Yeah, it kind of sucks. It'll turn up eventually, but I'll have to do a manhunt.

What have you been up to?

nextguardian on March 8, 2012, 9:42:53 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThanks for understanding ^^

I'll look forward to it :)

Just job hunting and fixing up the house. Decided to start remodeling the basement a few weeks ago. It's slow going, but it keeps me out of trouble :p I could do with some trouble, I think XD

YunieXTidus on March 8, 2012, 9:45:11 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol especially trouble of the female kind. ;)

YunieXTidus on March 8, 2012, 2:55:01 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI just commented asking you to look through your email for that YuSaku but I just found it! :D Document hunting was a success! i'll get to work on that this weekend, and hopefully have it to you sometime before next weekend. :)

How's your writing coming along?

nextguardian on March 9, 2012, 1:48:35 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianExcellent! I'll look forward to that :)

Let's see...crappy, in a word. I've played with an X-men fic a bit, just to do something. But I'm still not being very creative --'

YunieXTidus on March 9, 2012, 1:49:40 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh. What about my RQ?

nextguardian on March 10, 2012, 12:29:11 PM

nextguardianSame. Totally brain-dead on that, too. Just cannot wrap my mind around what I'm supposed to be writing.

YunieXTidus on March 10, 2012, 12:30:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusDamn. Have you tried just trying to write SOMETHING a bit every day? It helps stimulate your creativity.

nextguardian on March 10, 2012, 12:29:47 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAll my updates in serving for the past few months were written all at once maybe six months ago, and I just sat on them for the inevitable writer's block 'emergency'.

YunieXTidus on March 10, 2012, 1:15:16 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh wow. I guess you needed them, lol.

nextguardian on March 12, 2012, 12:33:37 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI had a feeling I would get burned out creatively. I had all these ideas- complete chapters, that is- and so I got them all written down. Then...totally blank. lol. Which sucks, because not only is it holding up your RQs, it's also holding up me in the very last few chapters of 'Serving' (which was just updated, btw).

YunieXTidus on March 12, 2012, 5:31:34 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusGet laid. I find it boosts my creativity ;)

nextguardianlol. I was on long enough to know that you had replied, but I didn't have time to do anything about it --' I've been having to referee a lot, so I had to go quickly.

To answer your question: If possible, I'm even worse at text message correspondance. I have a phone that I never bother/remember to carry --' Not sure why I have a cell phone. lol

nextguardian on February 6, 2012, 6:51:41 AM

nextguardianOh, and Serving has been updated again. Enjoy!

YunieXTidus on February 7, 2012, 4:30:53 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHaha, it's okay. I understand.

We'll have to fix this. I'm going to email you my cell phone number and you're going to text me, okay?

I'll read that tomorrow when I get home! :)

nextguardian on February 10, 2012, 8:21:19 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianCan do. I'll text soon.

YunieXTidus on February 10, 2012, 4:10:41 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHa. Alright. About to go read Serving.

YunieXTidus on February 10, 2012, 4:32:52 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusRead both chapters. Both really quite riveting. I can't wait to see where it goes from here.

Can I make a request for Valentine's Day? Can you do another Yuji/Hisako one-shot? Poor Hisako has been really neglected for a while. I think I'll do something with her as well. Possibly a Hisako/Kakashi fic, or if you have any pairing suggestions...

Don't worry, I've got a separate little project for Yuji!

You better text me, sir! >:o

nextguardian on February 12, 2012, 11:29:20 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThanks ^^ I almost went the Yuji/Sakura route for these chapters. But that just wouldn't be Yuji, aiming for a girl in a relationship. And it's been fun making Naruto and Sakura the bad guys for a change.

Hey, sure! I can't promise I'll have it done on Valentine's day, though. I haven't been super creative lately, nor have I had my usual amount of time. But if you don't mind a bit of a wait, I'd be happy to write that one :)

Can't wait to see what's in store for Yuji!

I will! I just need to remember to actually have my phone with me when I check my email/go on FAC. (No, I don't use my phone for email. I'm still back in the 90's, lol).

YunieXTidus on February 12, 2012, 1:04:41 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI bet! I love it so far. It's really well-done.

That's fine, that's fine. I don't think I'll have mine done on Valentine's Day either. Do you have any particular pairing requests? I've done YuSaku and AzaYu... anyone else you'd like to see? And I think you have given Ino enough attention from Yuji, so discounting her as well.

nextguardian on February 13, 2012, 8:18:09 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThanks ^^

Hmm...lessee here...Well, I'd been toying with a couple ideas that I just cannot formulate well. Maybe Yuji/Tenten? Or a sweet one that I touched on before would be Yuji/Yuugao (Hayate's girlfriend). But really, I would trust your judgement totally. Or Holmes/Dax...lol. Whatever strikes you as interesting and fun to write!

YunieXTidus on February 15, 2012, 4:23:31 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI promise you aren't going to be happy with the plot bunny that's been running around my head.

So how are you today? How's the writing going? (discreet attempt to find out about my rq ;] )

nextguardian on February 15, 2012, 11:24:37 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianLet me guess...you're going to pair Holmes with Tom Paris?

I'm fine, thanks. Writing is still going slow. I haven't written much of anything at all. But I have an idea or two that may just work ^^

YunieXTidus on February 15, 2012, 1:11:09 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNo, but that's an idea for another time!

I'll give you a little teaser, hehehehehe.

Yuji was rooted to the spot, warring emotions pulling him in opposite directions; one- as far away from here as possible before he heard things that could not be unheard, and the other- closer, to verify that his friends’ lovers were really interacting in the way he thought they were. Another thud and a low, guttural groan – was that Tenzou-senpai or Kakashi-senpai? – had his curiosity choosing for him. Blushing furiously, he inched forward until the alley came into view, making sure to keep out of sight of the two men he was… spying… on. What he saw turned him red from the roots of his hair to the tips of his toes.

You ever gonna text me, sir?

nextguardian on February 17, 2012, 6:35:45 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianwell, I understand that feeling. The need to get a plot down on paper, not...yeah. Ahem.

I do plan on it! I swear, I'll get to it!

How are things going for you right now? Good, I hope?

YunieXTidus on February 17, 2012, 6:49:11 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol. I knew what you meant.

You'd better! Or I'll have to punish Yuji even worse!

Things are good for me. I'm being stupid and skipping classes which i have vowed to stop, but other than that irresponsible-ness Im great.

How was your Valentine's day?

nextguardian on February 20, 2012, 9:06:34 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'd hope so! lol!

I will, I swear! I can't find my phone right now. Which sucks, because for once I'm actually remembering to text you --' I'm just bad at this. I apologize!

My Valentines Day was pretty good, thank you ^^ Yours?

You going to school this semester? How's work?

Yep. My Japanese class I was going to use for review got cancelled, leaving me with just Statistics. Yay. As for work...sucks on all fronts. lol. Was in line for another job, but that never materialized. Refereeing is really suckish right now, so that's not much fun. But yeah, pretty much back to the status quo, for better or worse.

How about you? Fun courses this time around?

Oh, btw, are you a fan of The Big Bang Theory?

YunieXTidus on January 18, 2012, 1:24:19 PM

YunieXTidusI'm taking several classes I'm going to enjoy. I'm taking American Sign Language, psychology, English comp 2, and history. So far I love all my teachers, and it looks like the courses will actually be enjoyable.

I've heard of it, but don't watch, myself. Why?

nextguardian on January 20, 2012, 1:07:42 PM

nextguardianThat's quite a diverse line up! Good luck with all those. I'm sure you can handle it.

It seems like the type of show you'd find humorous. Star Trek fans, Stargate fans, and comic fans will get 80% of the jokes. Made me realize what a nerd I was, actually. But in a good way ^^ I highly recommend it.

YunieXTidusI'm glad you think so. I've never felt more comfortable with a guy than I do with Aaron. Now that I've recovered from our first time, I just want more but I'm in Oklahoma and he's in north Carolina, and that definitely don't work. xD

YunieXTidus on December 19, 2011, 1:12:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell the lesson you need to learn from this is to go to parties and get mildly intoxicated. Worked for me! And yes, and I plan to make even sweeter ones when I get back. Did I tell you about Xmas gift exchange with him?

nextguardianBeen there. My problem was I took all the things I suck at all at once, trying to get the annoying stuff out of the way. Usually, suspension isn't that big a deal. Probably you'll get a one course limit, have to talk with a counselor, etc. Pass that one course and they go to academic probation. Repeat, and you're good. I wouldn't worry too much. Especially this early in your college life. You're hardly the only student to bite off a bit more than you could chew. Lots of people are in the same boat as you, guaranteed.

Good stuff! And congrats on the car kiss! Nice move!

I'm my usual miserable self, I'm afraid. Job hunting, officiating, and math make up the majority of my life right now. Not much fun, but the math at least ends soon. I don't forsee a GOOD end, but I'd almost take a bad one just to be rid of the stupid crap.

A friend of mine is celebrating his one year anniversary with his gf. Am I a bad person for wanting the girl to dump my friend because I think he's a complete @$$ to her?

YunieXTidus on November 28, 2011, 1:18:25 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYeah. And he fits every criteria I ever had for "my man," and some I didn't know I had!

xD No, not really, because every girl deserves to be treated with respect.

nextguardian on November 28, 2011, 1:23:02 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWell, there you go then. Sounds like a perfect arrangement.

Good. The guy just wanted sex out of it, and the poor girl is practically pouring her heart out to him. Allegedly, actually. I'm not positive the girl in question exists. I've never met her, among other suspicious things.

Oh, Serving has been updated again, btw.

YunieXTidusI'm spending New Years with him! (hopefully) I'm excited.

nextguardian on November 28, 2011, 1:33:11 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI bet that'll be a good time. I usually stay up, but I don't watch the ball drop or anything.

I'm really starting to think so. She's clearly not my type nor am I actively looking, so there's no threat there. There's really no danger in me meeting her (I've never told him that I think he treats her like crap...allegedly). So, hmm...maybe she doesn't exist?

I don't think you read that one, either. But you're hardly alone in that XD. LOTS of people haven't read it.

YunieXTidusFor the longest time I was freaking out about what to get him, cause I don't really know him well enough to know for sure what he'd want. But in a conversation with his roommate the other day, he mentioned that the best villain of all time is Sephiroth. And he has a plushie from Ghibli studios in his closet. So... Sephiroth plushie! Perfect!

nextguardianI don't this you did. Go for it, is you're so inclined :)

YunieXTidus on November 28, 2011, 12:28:44 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, we met at a friend's 21st birthday party. I thought he was cute from the get-go, but I was kind of uncomfortable because of all the people I didn't know around (including him). But after a while (and a few drinks) I warmed up and we talked a bit, and then I stomped him at beer pong. The night wore on, and eventually most people went to other parties and stuff, so the people at the house where the original party was kicked us out, and I didn't want to go home, so I went to his house, with his roommates. He and I immediately claimed the couch, where we cuddled, while the others sat on chairs or the floor. We played some drinking games (of which I also stomped them), and he and I kissed and stuff in between games, etc. I was NOT the first to fall asleep, but I was the second. When I woke up (around 11) he took me home so I could get ready for my grandmother to get into town. I saw him a few days later and we kind of just connected. I was afraid it was just drunk me and drunk him, but it's sober us too! He's an avid gamer, and a huge anime/manga/japan-in-general fan, and he likes that I don't mind he's a nerd. xD He's really quite awesome.

nextguardian on November 28, 2011, 12:33:06 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianSounds like a good match, then! Congratulations!

YunieXTidus on November 28, 2011, 12:34:46 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm just happy that he likes me so much. I'm usually terrible in these sort of situations, but with him everything seems very natural. I don't need to feel nervous, because I don't feel like I'm being judged. He likes my company, I don't need to do anything to impress him. He's very easy to please, which is great for me because I haven't got a clue about men. xD

nextguardian on November 28, 2011, 12:46:28 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat's a good deal. There's nothing more awkward than someone trying too hard and sending off the wrong signals. Or trying too hard at the wrong time when there's just no mood or feeling to it.

YunieXTidus on November 28, 2011, 12:49:00 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHaha yeah. It seems to be a well-balanced relationship, with none of the awkward "oh my god am i doing the right thing" moments. Although there's the moments when he's dropping me off at my house and he sort of leans forward like he expects a kiss. And I chicken out and fumble for the car door. I'm really not good at kissing in a car. xD

YunieXTidusHey there, I'm really sorry I haven't been on lately, it's been a crazy week. I had a party on Thursday, a hangover on Friday, stuff to get done on Saturday, and then I hung out all day long at my friend's house!

ANYWAY, I'm good, thank you. ^^ And yeah, I would. I don't know much about YuYu Hakusho anymore, it's been so long since I've seen it. But I'd definitely read it.

How've you been the past week (or however long I've been gone)?

nextguardian on November 21, 2011, 12:31:03 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt's all good. Sounds like you had a good time, minus that hangover stuff.

Cool. The concept is that a human boy dies early, similar to Yusuke. He's commited a crime in the process of dying, so he's had to serve in the underworld before he can be returned to his body. And when he is returned, once a month, he becomes a lemming basically. As in he'll automatically attempt suicide and must be saved by someone else, either human or demon, to prove that there is hope for both humanity and demonkind (I guess XD)

I've been pretty much down and out with a nasty cold. I also had a lot of work (figures), which didn't suck as much as I thought despite the cold.

Serving has been updated, btw.

YunieXTidus on November 22, 2011, 3:05:33 AM

YunieXTidusThat sounds interesting! I'd definitely read it.

I hate colds. :( I've gotten a babysitting job, and I get paid 100 bucks on friday! I'm pretty excited. It's the first time in a very long while I'll actually have any spending money.

Ah, I'll check that out.
Ok so this guy and I are talking (we met at the party), and he's a serious gamer. And he really likes me! ^______^

By the way, have you ever watched the movie 'Summer Wars'? The main protagonist reminds me of you. xD

nextguardian on November 22, 2011, 10:47:30 AM

nextguardianAnd for once, Yuji has no love interest. So I'll get back to my fic roots as a combat specialist.

Colds suck. But hey, that's good news! Have fun with the job (or, failing that, enjoy the money)!

Enjoy!

Good for you! Congrats!

I feel like I've heard this from someone else before...huh. No, I can't say I've seen it. How am I reminiscent of this character?

nextguardianOh, I had an idea for an ST fic. What do you think about this: Holmes is in the holodeck on DS9, having been challenged by Admiral Sulu to a surprise scenario. It turns out to be Enterprise B, with Holmes in the role of Kirk. As per usual for ST, the holodeck goes on the fritz and Holmes is trapped inside in sort of a feedback loop (Similar to the Doctor on Voyager). His memory synapses are degrading rapdily, but the crew can't get him out. IN the meantime, he basically lives through ST: Generations in Kirk's role, as programmed in from old Starfleet reports and Picard's testimony.

Is that too far-fetched, do you think?

YunieXTidus on November 22, 2011, 1:38:06 PM

YunieXTidusWell he's needy and girl shy, and.. just watch the movie!

Yeah, I think its interesting. It IS star trek, I'm sure you can find some way to make it make sense xD

YunieXTidusLol you picked 3 that I'd picked out. xD Okay, now, what attracts you about each one?

nextguardian on November 11, 2011, 12:43:26 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWEll, on the first one, the red and black combination makes it look classy yet passionate to me. And I think the length is perfect, too. Reveals just the right amount.

The second one was a bit more daring, but the see-through sort of material just struck me as sexy. That, and the exposed stomach and navel.

The third one is the same deal as the first. sexy, passionate, classy and reveals just the right amount.

I'm not honestly sure why I like number four so much. I guess it seemed sort of...wholesome, somehow? A lot is covered, but a lot isn't. Kind of like a really good preview, I think.

Number five was easy- short, red dress. Red is a sexy color outright, and it sort of looks like an upscale sort of dress, which would automatically make me think the girl wearing it is upscale and intelligent.

If that makes any sense.

YunieXTidus on November 11, 2011, 12:45:00 PM

YunieXTidusxD I envy the girl who gets to drag you out lingerie shopping.

nextguardian on November 11, 2011, 12:49:39 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, really. I'm easy to please. The only thing I don't like is velvet. the feel of it drives me up the wall, and not in a good way. If they can make themselves look wholesome and sexy, or (depending on the mood) sultry and sexy, then perfect. But if the damn thing has twently knots in it that need to be undone...well, most guys have a problem with a standard bra, so you can imagine the hellish time it would be trying to undo twenty straps.

YunieXTidus on November 11, 2011, 12:50:32 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell the point of most lingerie is that it's short, for easy access. So taking it off isn't necessarily necessary. Hahaha.

nextguardian on November 11, 2011, 12:56:50 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianFair point. Heck, sometimes the most attractive thing can an overlarge sweatshirt and little else. If you notice, Azami is consistently adorned in a black half-tank and black boyshorts or brief panties. That would do it for me.

Now, having my own interestings (beyond the outright dominatrix character of Azami's), this is one thing that would be hot. Being a fan of the Mummy and all...

nextguardianSee, I find that stuff really hot. Like, wholesome girl with an underlying edge who doesn't act like she's aware of how attractive she is.

Hey, I'd wear the male equivalent. I have a rule I apply to general life: If there's something I won't do, I won't ask anyone else to, either. But anyway, that's just an example. I have a further theory that if both parties are comfortable, then the sex will be that much better.

btw, that site's prices are really good 00'

Victoria's Secret is having an underwear sale. 7 for 26 dollars! That's a steal. I'm gonna have to rope my mom into taking me there again.

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'd have had to tackle you then, I guess. No paint-peeling from yells. At least... not yells of anger. ;)

xD I'm currently writing a slash one-shot inspired by this game i've been playing lately. It's an OLD game, as games go. It came out in 2001 I think. Dark Cloud. Have you heard of it?

Anyway, the main character's name is Toan, and his unofficial girlfriend is Paige. Her dad's name is Pike. Pike is a strapping fellow. I thought it would be an interesting relationship for Toan to go after his girlfriend's dad.

nextguardian on November 11, 2011, 2:06:07 PM

nextguardianYou'd have to. Believe me, I'm absolutely no fun to be around now. We just had part II here, when I went to find my pen but realized it was one of the things that was lost in the previous rampage --'

nextguardian on November 11, 2011, 2:22:42 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianSure ^^

YunieXTidus on November 11, 2011, 2:23:22 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLet me know if you think it's believable.


Toan always liked to fish at dusk, when the village was settling in for the night. Some of the villagers were a bit too friendly, and he wanted some time to himself every now and then. When he did, the pond behind Paige’s house was where he went. Just as the sun went behind the wall of rock that was the Divine Beast Cave, Toan threw out his line and sat on the grass. He hummed a tune to himself as he pondered all that there was left to do. Rebuilding the village was a slow process, and Toan had a lot of weight on his shoulders to get everything right. He did his best, to be sure. Things were coming along nicely, but sometimes it seemed that everyone in the village either expected him to have it all done yesterday, or they expected him to fail miserably. The only place he really felt at peace was this little pond.

A fish tugged on his line, and he tensed, ready to snap it taut. It swam away, and he slumped back down.

“Hey there, Toan,” a voice called softly, and Toan jumped to his feet, nearly dropping his rod in the water. It was Pike, Paige’s father, walking over to him with a fishing rod in hand. Pike was a good-looking man, Toan supposed, though he hadn’t much thought about it. He had a strong, firm jawline that made Toan jealous, and a wide grin that was infectious. His eyes were kind, and that’s what really drew Toan, he figured. They were dark, and sometimes hard to read, but kindness always lingered there. Pike’s russet-brown hair stood up in unruly spikes behind his headband, and it made Toan want to reach up and try to tame it himself.

“Oh, hi, Pike. I hope I didn’t disturb you. I come here in the evenings sometimes to relax,” Toan offered as a conversation starter. He loved the sound of Pike’s voice. It was deep, but gentle, and very soothing.

“No, you did nothing of the sort! I see you out here from time to time from my window, and tonight I thought I’d join you, if you don’t mind,” Pike replied with a grin. Toan’s stomach tightened when he saw it, but he wasn’t sure why, so he shrugged it off and smiled back. He scooted over as Pike plopped down on the grass beside him, his fishing rod at his side. He spread his legs out and braced himself by putting his hands behind him, then looked at Toan with a friendly, open expression.

“So how are the repairs coming?” He asked, and Toan had to stifle a groan.

“They’re slow, but they’re coming. I wrote down everyone’s requests and I think they’ll be pleased with the result.” He sighed and shook his head. “If they don’t murder me first,” he added with a rueful grin. Pike laughed, and Toan thought he’d never heard a more wonderful sound. He vowed then to try to make the man laugh more often.

“They won’t murder you, Toan,” he assured the boy, seemingly unaware of the blush that crept to Toan’s face as Pike said his name. “The villagers understand that you’re doing your best, and they trust you. We all know we can count on you,” he finished, putting his broad hand on Toan’s delicate shoulders. The boy had to suppress a shiver at the heat Pike’s hand was emanating, even through his clothing, and was surprised when a different part of him started responding to the physical contact. He stood up abruptly, shifting the fishing rod from one hand to the other in his attempt to avoid Pike’s gaze.

“Thank you,” Toan said with a blush, still not looking at the man beside him. A few moments of silence, and Pike stood up, brushing his pants off.

“Do you mind if I correct your posture?” Pike asked, already moving to stand behind Toan.

“U-um, sure,” he replied, suddenly anxious. Then Pike’s warm, calloused hands enveloped his and he was pulled snugly into the older man’s body, with no personal space left. His body’s reaction was immediate. He became hard almost instantly, something that had never happened before, not even when he and Paige had had that midnight fumble in Dran’s windmill. All Toan could think about was how warm Pike’s body was, and how good the man’s hands felt. The hints and tips that the older man kept murmuring into his ear weren’t helping either; the warm breath passing across his skin, and the rumble of Pike’s voice that Toan felt through his back all served to worsen his growing problem.

nextguardianTook you long enough...
...
:P

Jk, of course. Was it not worth it? Letting Yuji get some action for the first time. C'mon, don't deny it- it was EPIC!
Well, maybe epic
Well, epic.
Well, it was great.
Well, good.
Well, okay.
It sucked.

YunieXTidus on November 10, 2011, 1:10:38 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusMr. Sassy. Do you need me to buy you a Gucci purse for that 'tude?

xD It was good! I wouldn't go so far as epic, because it was suddenly done with and I'm like, "WHAT NO LEAD-UP SUSPENSE?" :(

nextguardian on November 10, 2011, 1:18:31 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, sorr,y I couldn't resist. You had it coming after that 'Mr. Impatient' crack! lol.

I had thought about that, but I went the road I did for two reasons:
1- this chapter and the one before it were supposed to lead up to it. Like, Shiroko has it in her head, and she knows where this is going. I didn't want Yuji to get too much into the act, lest it take away from Shiroko being the one directing the pace.

2- It would have wound up X-rated if I'd started to tease it.

But I should have hit some middle ground. I think I tried too hard to get away from Azami, too. Like 'Okay, Azami would jump his bones and be all over him for sex, so let's have Shiro be into the relationship. And, hell, let's have them both be reluctant about it. Like, "Where is this relationship going" reluctant.'

I think Yuji finally getting some tail is sort of the fanfic equivalent to the world ending. No writing will ever do it justice. It's just such an impossibly rare phenomenon!

lol, but you're right. I'm not really happy with the way it turned out. It seemed like they just had sex for the hell of it --'

YunieXTidus on November 10, 2011, 1:34:26 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol that reminds me I ought to work on Yuji's sex tonight.

Also, a personal (semi-hypothetical) question. You up for it?

nextguardian on November 10, 2011, 1:39:00 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYuji says "Okay, when can you start?"

Sure thing. Shoot.

YunieXTidus on November 10, 2011, 1:41:16 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol. Soon, Yuji! In a few minutes, I'll continue.

Say you've been in an extremely non-defined relationship for about three or so months, but you've known the person for years and have had a very close friendship with them up til now. You're starting to think you're in love with the person, and it's getting harder and harder not to say it. When is it okay to say it?

nextguardian on November 10, 2011, 1:48:51 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianDon't mind him. He's waited this long, lmao.

Let's see...I would say it's less a matter of time at this point. This situation doesn't sound like out and out puppy love. I would say now it's down to picking the right moment with the right atmosphere (unless there is a very, very clear reason to think that the feelings will not be mutual). What that is depends on the individual and what he/she thinks is romantic and appropriate for such a confession.

Does that help?

YunieXTidus on November 10, 2011, 1:51:05 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell what if long distance is a problem, and the only communication (at the moment) is through texting or instant messaging? The feelings appear to be more and more to be mutual, but scaring the other person off is a serious concern.

YunieXTidus on November 10, 2011, 1:56:28 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAlso to clarify- you did want this X rated explicit right? Cause it's about to get there. xD

nextguardian on November 10, 2011, 2:03:39 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI don't think distance should put a damper on romance, personally. But be prepared for flack if the relationship works from skeptics who think otherwise.
As for timing on that...I think the most you can do is put yourself in the most romantic mood possible. It's hard to convey emotions across an IM or text, but it's just like writing a fic- hit the right mood, and the words just feel right.

lol, I won't complain if it is. I'm curious about how you'd write that out, I admit ^^

YunieXTidus on November 10, 2011, 2:09:20 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusShould I wait for him to say it first? I mean, we both all but say it anyway. Like, my pet name for him is "love," (taking a leaf out of the British' book) and he stole it from me. xD And when we're making 'sexy talk', he says "make love" now, too, instead of just f---. He didn't do that before.

Just making sure before I cross that point of no return. xD It should be done some time in the next few days. I won't get very much done tonight cause I feel so fatigued for some reason.

What are you working on?

nextguardian on November 10, 2011, 2:16:07 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'll be honest with you there- it's a split. Some guys want girls to come to them; others are more old fashioned. I would say, if you're sure, then make your move. Chances are, he's thinking the same thing based on the evidence you've given me. Guys tend to be clueless about romance beyond dropping hints. Taking that into consideration, I would say 'go for it'.

No objection XD I hear you on the fatigue. Math will do that to me, though.

Right now, I'm working on Serving and math, and Japanese when I can squeeze it in. Taking a short sabbatical from ST. How about you? Any luck with that English paper?

YunieXTidus on November 10, 2011, 2:18:05 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm just afraid that I'll be jumping the gun and he'll feel pressured to say the same thing back out of duty rather than feeling. Who knew unofficial dating could be so frustrating!

Lmao Which one?

nextguardian on November 10, 2011, 2:28:18 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt isn't going to get any easier. If you're really worried, then I would wait until the six month mark. At that point, you're both expecting something to happen. There is either a connection or there isn't. By that point, it'll be more clear.

Whichever one, I guess. XD I'm helping a friend with his english paper in exchange for math help.

YunieXTidus on November 10, 2011, 2:30:40 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusTrue! Christmas, or Valentine's, I suppose.

xD That does NOT sound like a fair trade.

Do you want a few sentences? Nothing explicit, of course. I'm gonna go to bed after that.

nextguardian on November 10, 2011, 2:37:38 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI think that's your best bet unless he starts giving off crystal clear signs.

For me or him? He's getting six pages worth of material out of me- and that's just outlining data for him. He is, of course, writing the damn thing himself. But I'm expected to put in probably ten hours of work.

Hey, sure! Absolutely!

YunieXTidus on November 10, 2011, 2:39:08 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYeah, I have to agree with you.

xD that's unfair on both sides! One the one hand, that's a LOT of work. On the other hand, it's math. xD

Here you go!
He had propped himself up on his elbows to watch her with a slightly glazed expression, his hair mussed from Sakura’s ministrations. But when she fell to her knees between his legs and slowly, but deftly, began unfastening his pants, one elbow slipped in shock, and his face turned a dark pink with embarrassment and surprise. He cleared his throat as he shifted to get a better view of her.

“Um, wh-what are you…?” He stuttered, and Sakura had to try very hard not to roll her eyes. Instead she flashed him a sexy grin and replied in a sultry tone.

“You know exactly what I’m doing,” she purred, massaging his thighs suggestively before ripping his trousers off of him so quickly he hadn’t had time to blink.

nextguardianDoing math homework tonight. I've been neglecting it becaue I've been so tired lately from a lot of early mornings.

I see you're almost caught up with Serving. Thanks for reading!

nextguardianNo problem. It's going to get more interesting in the series now, I think. A lot of questions start getting both asked and answered. And Yuji hooking up with a girl- say what?! lol.

Trying to wrap my head around math and finish Riker/Amy. No promises, though, because I'm tempted to kill Riker. Gotta keep remembering I'm not dealing with season 1 Riker where he's an @$$. Nope, I'm on season 3 Riker.

YunieXTidus on November 3, 2011, 2:33:05 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI love it! Although, (I may be biased on this) I DO think the rescue came too soon!

xD I loved Amy continuously calling Dan a 'clod.' That's awesome. And then the altercation with Jadzia.

nextguardian on November 3, 2011, 2:37:40 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, I figured you'd think that about the rescue.

The whole point of Dax/Holmes was to give Amy a way to poke some fun at Holmes and get some dialogue going (besides having Riker drool all over her and the like). I wasn't trying to push Holmes/Dax, but I think it came off that way. (shrug) Wasn't intentional, for the record.

But it was fun. I thought about having Amy smack Riker in the side when he semi-oogled Dax, but it didn't seem to fit.

YunieXTidus on November 3, 2011, 2:39:24 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI know I pushed you for promptness, but despite all talk to the contrary, Amy DOES enjoy a bit of romancing. She's not THAT easy. ;)

nextguardian on November 3, 2011, 2:46:16 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, I believe that. I tried to make it seem like she and Riker had been hot for each other since day 1. Just, like, this instant mutual attraction. I know they exist, since I've been on one side of one. Too bad I screwed that up...(shakes head) Anyway, I see your point. Although, to be fair, Riker usually DOES get the girl in three days or less. Making him wait a whole, what, two weeks? Le gasp! XD

YunieXTidus on November 3, 2011, 2:48:09 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusTrue that! But for the reader's sake, throw in some almost kisses (cause those are almost hotter than actual kisses), or some *sexy* banter. So we feel the sexual tension as much as the characters do.

Yay!

nextguardian on October 31, 2011, 12:26:26 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAh. Well then, I guess I was at the right house after all.

Okay, here's a little taste. It's small because I'm still working on the tone of the story. But it's a start:

The Ponce de Leon rounded the moon of Kaarlaid III. Will Riker was at the Conn, piloting effortlessly thanks to both skill and favorable space conditions. No ion storms, enemy ships- nothing.

He smiled to himself, humming a mindless tune to himself. With him, he had the newest young Ensign aboard Enterprise D with him. She’d rarely ventured outside sickbay, as she was still getting used to her new duty schedule. But he’d seen young Amelia Collins enough to know she was just his type.

Gorgeous.

Riker had no problem with the ladies. He could have his pick, and a less honorable man would have taken advantage of that. But Will was careful- if there were no feelings, or at least the potential for feelings, he would look but wouldn’t touch. That would just be irresponsible- especially with his duties.

“So, Ensign Collins, how have you enjoyed the Enterprise so far?”

Amelia, more commonly ‘Amy’ to those who knew her, responded instantly. “Very much, sir. The crew is kind and certainly able. Even that clod Ensign Holmes. Bloody command-track- ahem. Sir.”

Riker had to chuckle. It was an unfair description of the other young ensign assigned to the Enterprise. Being so low on the totem pole was a bit uncomfortable for him. Not due to any ego issues; it was just plain to see that Ensign Holmes didn’t see where he was contributing on the Enterprise. He had approached Riker about that right away, at least partially as a means to quell the gossip that he hated his assignment.

“Command officers aren’t your cup of tea, Ensign?” Riker asked, maybe a little hurt. Damn. Is this door shut before I even touched the handle?

Amy giggled, which seemed a bit out of character. “No, sir. Just the hotshots who want to use a the daughter of an admiral to earn their stripes. If they’ve seen success on their own, then I can believe they’re genuine.”

Was that a line? Will wondered. This girl was pretty feisty. Likely more trouble than she was worth.
Riker hid a smile in his beard. He might have been talking about the Enterprise or Ensign Collins.

YunieXTidus on October 31, 2011, 12:30:46 PM

YunieXTidusOh my god. I think you've outdone yourself! I'm so excited!

Hey, that's really nice work! I love the details on his fingers best, I think. Probably because I can't draw hands, and I think they came out really nice here.

I've got to go for the night, but not before I share a bit with you. Some of it I've had done for quite a while. The other bit is more for Riker/Amy. If you could let me know if (a) I have Amy's reactions right and (b) If Dan and Dax are in a believable scenario, that would be great.


“Pirates…” Riker muttered. That wasn’t good. Romulan cloaking technology, Klingon firepower, and Vulcan precision…
A deadly combo. The Enterprise is a full day away at maximum warp. We’ll never be able to fight this thing. So that leaves tactics.

“Ensign, engage your safety harness. That moon is Class-P. It’ll be cold, but serviceable. I can’t promise a smooth landing. I‘m going to vent plasma from the warp core and then detonate it. That should buy us time.”

Amy obediently strapped herself in. She held onto the edges of her seat, not liking this maneuver already.
--
--
Amy woke up first after the landing. She noted immediately that the ambient temperature in the shuttle had dropped nearly twenty degrees. Shivering slightly, she tended to Riker, seeing that his injuries were minor. He had a small concussion from his head bouncing off the conn, but that was the worst of it. A quick treatment would take care of him. While he was coming around, she replicated blankets, thick uniform jackets, and clyminiproxethal- a drug that would help the body retain heat.

As an afterthought, she took two phasers from the aft compartment.

Riker came around just a few moments later. From the chill, life support was off, as was everything else in the shuttle. A quick glance revealed that venting plasma from the warp core had initiated an emergency shutdown of all systems, save for a very minimal life support, determined appropriate by the computer for two adult humans. The system could be restarted at any time. There was no point in that, though, Riker decided. That ship up there would just swoop on them again. Their best bet was to send out a distress signal, then abandon the shuttle and take shelter wherever possible.

--
--

Dax’s eyes widened sympathetically as Dan recounted the tale of how he came to be promoted so quickly to Ensign. The story had shaken her, and if she was shaken with all her life (lives) experience, then how was this young man to feel?

He had told her more of the story than he needed to, but Dax made no move to stop him. She felt instinctively that he needed to tell someone this.

To be one of only three survivors among the four hundred fifty across two ships…

When he was done, Dan looked drained. He sat down with his raktajino, grimacing at how it tasted cold. He drank it anyway, and the bitterness seemed to do some good. He perked up and met Dax’s eyes.

“And that was that. So, am I in the history books here, too?”

Dax began to correlate his story with the computer. She shook her head after a moment’s time.
“Nope. According to this, you were promoted to Ensign through a normal course of duty. Your first assignment was on the USS Guardian, but there was never an attack on the ship. From there, you were assigned to Voyager. And now, according to this, you’re engaged to one Jadzia Dax.”

Dan had to chuckle a bit. “This reality is certainly tempting. I wonder how Sisko feels…Sisko…”
Dan frowned, deep in thought. With that subspace fracture open…if a runabout could fit through, why not a transmission?
“Lieutenant, could we contact Commander Sisko through the fracture? If a runabout could go through…”

Dax followed his line of reasoning, mentally doing calculations.
“I’m not sure it would work. There’s a Commander Sisko in this world, too. You and I are the common links, and apparently what changed history- or at least part of what changed history- so theoretically, we’re still linked with ‘our’ reality.”

“At least we’ll be able to tell the Siskos apart. Mention the wedding and see if you get ‘ah, yes’ or ‘what the hell?’.”

Dax smiled, but that did clue her in to another potential problem. If they did manage to raise ‘their’ Sisko through a local comm system, the signal could be traced. And using the narrow band frequency they would need to to go through a subspace fracture, that would be likely. And more than that, highly suspicious.

Then again, the other option was to do nothing.

YunieXTidusHaha, get some new friends!

Well, it's this British show about this old asylum that was turned into luxury apartments. This guy Jed can see ghosts, and every episode it's a different ghost haunting different people. Lemme find a show description:

The series focuses on an upscale apartment block called 'Bedlam Heights', renovated from the structure of an abandoned mental asylum, and the strange hauntings that occur there. New arrival Jed Harper (Theo James) possesses the ability to see the ghosts (which are generally not visible to others), and receives visions of their deaths. The hauntings are generally malevolent, and it is up to Jed to determine the spirits' motives and thwart their goals. His flatmates are his cousin, Kate (Charlotte Salt), who manages the complex; Ryan (Will Young) who is troubled by the recent violent death of his brother; and Molly (Ashley Madekwe), a childhood friend of Kate and Jed.

nextguardianI haven't decided which direction I'm going to go, so I don't have any set lines. Will a scenario do?

I'm thinking that Amy and Riker are marooned on a planet during a routinue survey. They're stuck there with no one else for a week. Amy starts to get nervous ( can't think of the technical name you gave her condition) and it's up to Riker to keep her calm, or at least distracted.

Yes, finish mine! XD

Quick question- do you think it's appropriate, in the middle of a serious story arc, to stop and do something light? I'm not saying comedic and unrelated to the story. Just something to break the tension for a while.

Quick question 2- How do you see Dax and Holmes finally hooking up? or do you not see it happening?

YunieXTidus on October 29, 2011, 1:46:24 PM

YunieXTidusAgoraphobia. It's the fear of wide open spaces. That sounds really interesting!

I'm so sorry for being so neglectful!

No of course it makes sense. They do it all the time in real tv shows.

Hmm... maybe they both get infected with some libido-enhancing pollen, and are stuck in the shuttlepod together. Things happen, and once they're cured Dan feels really guilty about it. She's like "don't worry about it because I know that if you didn't have feelings for me you wouldn't have acted on your urges, pollen or not. And I feel the same way." Or something?

nextguardianThank you. I knew it was A-something. I kept getting similar words in my head, and I couldn't remember how you defined it exactly.

No worries.

Good. I'm just attempting it in Serving. Hopefully it'll work out nicely. I always feel weird breaking some perceived 'momentum' the story has. But at the same time, repetitious isn't good, either.

Sweet, I like that! I had toyed with the idea (for the co-op fic, anyway) that 'season 1' ends with the crew in some dire situation, and Dan blurts out his feelings, thinking they're all screwed anyway. Then he goes off to fight so the other have a shot at escaping, and Dax saves his skin. Maybe gives him a kiss, then slaps him and warns him not to 'ever do that again! You life if precious, Daniel. And not just to you..."
Or something like that.

How's your M16 fic coming?

YunieXTidus on October 29, 2011, 1:54:12 PM

YunieXTidusI'm really excited to read this now!

That also sounds interesting! Either could work.

nextguardianI hope it at least matches the Data/Amy one. That really turned out nice and fun. It was fun to write.

I'm determined not to let Dan become Yuji and always be getting hurt and hovering near death. He'll probably be the Harry Kim equivalent though. If something bad is going to happen, it'll happen to Dan and O'Brien first XD

Ah, I see. That happens.

YunieXTidusTerrier/? mix, the ? we think is greyhound. His name is buddy but we call him jack. The other is corgi/terrier mix and her name is edie, but we call him annie. Annie bites. She bit me when we first took her home two days ago. Nothing serious, but it does sting. But tonight she bit my mom on the face when she leaned down to kiss her. There's teeth marks on her cheek and a cut right by her nose, as well as a gash on her nostril. It looked pretty bad, but head injuries always look worse than they are. I'm so afraid that we'll have to take her back, and my mom is even more torn. She loves Annie, even though she bites. And after the biting, the dog seems really apologetic and sad. I'm afraid that if we take her back, they'll have to put her down, because this has happened at the last three homes she's been at, and she's been taken back for it. I don't know what to do.

Yeah, it's great! I really like it.

You think I got Dan okay? I didn't have him do something out of character?

nextguardian on October 27, 2011, 1:41:56 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThey both sound adorable. I can see where you're torn, though. I had a similar problem with another dog of mine a few years ago. The best thing I could think up is give the dog as much time as possible to adjust. If it doesn't work, then it doesn't work, and there's not much else you can do. Unless you try obedience school. My heart goes out to you if you do have to give the dog up :(

The only thing that you could probably add is have Dan be armed, too. He wouldn't burst into a room where there's screaming unarmed unless he absolutely had to.

I've got a little bit more to share with you, and then a question. But first, the new bit:

En route to the wormhole, Dax kept Dan talking. His piloting was great, and she was even getting a good conversation out of the elusive ensign. It seemed like he just needed an excuse to talk to her.

Ever since that incident, when we put the Trill in Holmes to say it…I wonder just how much of what he said as ‘Dan D’Gar’ was ‘Dan’? It’s not like him to blatantly hit on a girl like that…but at the same time, at that point the had the Trill more or less in sync with him…

“Approaching the wormhole,” Holmes called out. “Slowing to ¼ impulse power.”

Dax tapped at her console. “Adjusting course trajectory.”

Holmes glanced at the sensors, noting when the craft was in position. “Full stop…now.”

Dan sat back in his chair, exhaling heavily. It was only now that Dax noticed the sweat on his brow. She had to stifle a laugh at his expense. Instead, she chose to pat him reassuringly on the shoulder.

“You did well, Daniel. You can do this.”

Holmes gave a tired nod and smile. “Thanks. I really couldn’t have done it without you. In fact, I’d like to-”

Whatever it was he would have liked to do was put on hold as their runabout was rocked.

“No damage to hull. Looks like it was a warning shot…” Holmes noted. “Recommend we raise shields.”

Dax absently nodded, engrossed in the scientific readings. Her brows knitted together as she glared at the equipment.
“A subspace fracture…there’s a strong gravitational pull. That’s what’s ‘attacking’ the wormhole.”

Holmes looked over the data, transmitting a subspace message to Deep Space Nine with the data they’d collected so far.
“So we should seal the fracture…”

“Eventually. We should scan it, first. If this is an attack with malice by someone across space and time, we need to know the origin to stop it from happening again.”
Checking the data one more time, Dax decided to use a magneton scan. It was the most thorough scan available to them.

“Speaking tactically, we should keep the station apprised of our results. In case whatever it is turns out to be hostile,” Holmes intoned. Dax agreed, and Holmes continuously streamed their data to Deep Space Nine.

A sharp series of chirps alerted Dax and Holmes to the fact that something was wrong.

“The gravitational pull is getting stronger. The scan must have disrupted whatever is causing this somehow! We’ve got to get out of here or we’ll be sucked in!”

Holmes immediately got into the pilot’s seat.
“Engaging impulse engines. Full impulse…now.”

Dax shook her head. “No effect. And we can’t go to warp this close the wormhole…”

“Bypassing security overrides…and we’re at 110 percent of maximum recommended output.”

Dax shook her head again. “We’re still being pulled in.”

“115...120...125 percent of maximum. Any more and we’ll rip ourselves apart.”

“Transmit an SOS to the station and launch a tracking buoy with a warning message, continuous broadcast, all frequencies. And then grab on to something. We’re going in!”

The anamoly was now visible, breaking the rules of space/time. It looked literally like a crack in the universe. A blank slit which shown against the star-strewn sky.

“Routing auxiliary and emergency power to life support, shields, deflector, and structural integrity. Inertial dampers still operating.”

Dan didn’t need to add ‘so far’.
--
--
-

Dax woke up first, a hand to her aching head. A mild groan escaped her lips as she sat up. Her head ached, and the sudden movement was too much. She assessed herself quickly, but found herself to be banged up superficially, but otherwise unharmed.

Getting up carefully, she moved toward the conn. Dan was still slumped forward in his seat, having piloted furiously until impact. Dax drew her breath in a gasp, seeing the right side of Dan’s face covered in plasma burns.

She immediately grabbed the first aid kit stashed in a starboard compartment, applying the dermal regenerator and then checking to see if there was any other damage. Save for some bruises, Dan was okay as well. She decided to let him wake up naturally, as long as it didn’t take too long.

The question of ‘where and when are we?’ hit Dax as she opened the shuttle hatch. She looked around quickly and assessed their situation.

The Dax symbiont had been alive for well over three hundred years, and this was still a shock.

YunieXTidusObedience school doesn't address biting, or we definitely would. I'm afraid if we give her back she'll be put to sleep... That would weigh on my mom's conscience for the rest of her life.

So, like, a baseball bat? Cause there's no way Amy would let him have a gun unless they were under fire.

I love it! I hope you're continuing that, cause now I'm really interested!

We're going to Louisiana tomorrow to see my brother. He's in New Orleans, but we're meeting him in Alexandria. I'm getting batteries for my camera and taking pictures! I've never been to Louisiana.

nextguardian on October 27, 2011, 2:23:27 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBoy, I don't know what to tell you. All you can do is give the dog a chance. I hope it all works out for you.

I think he'd have something maybe more concealable. Actually, a bat works. You could also play off the fact that running to Amy's aid with a bat is something a boyfriend would do (according to every sitcom over made, apparently)

Well, I've got a suggestion after that. I worked on a couple theories:

1. They wind up on 'old earth' (our present day), in a place like Las Vegas.

2. They wind up in a previous era. Say, Enterprise C. The Cardassians are affecting the wormhole from there. But Holmes, being a huge fan of Enterprise C's saga, will be tempted to intervene and save them.

3. The one I've chosen so far- They wind up back at DS9 while Voyager is docked. And thanks to something switiching in the time frame, Holmes is due to be on Voyager! But he can't go, and he can't warn them about what happens, lest he violate the temporal prime directive. I've got a couple scenes from this one I'll share in a minute.

I haven't either, but I've wanted to go to New Orleans for a long time! Have a good time!

nextguardianI've got to go for the night. But before I do, here's a little more from the above scenario. I can't wait to read more of your newest work. I'm already fascinated. More please :)

The authoritive stare of Captain Kathryn Janeway could wilt just about anyone. And right now, her eyes were trained firmly on Dax and Holmes. Worst of all, they had no clue why they were getting the ‘evil eye’.

When Holmes didn’t say anything, Janeway spoke up. She drew herself up, her hands on her hips. She might have been short in reality, but damned if she didn’t grow when she wanted to!

“Mister Holmes, I believe you’ll agree with me that being on time is something that is drilled into you at the academy?”

Dan decided that, as he was already confused, letting that emotion take over would be easiest.
“Am I late for something, sir?”

Janeway’s eyebrow shot up, and Dan shrunk a few inches.

“I respect military standards, Ensign. But you will address me as ‘Captain‘. You’ve tried my patience enough by being late. It is bad form at any time, never mind your first duty shift. Now, you’re my tactical officer, at least temporarily. If you can’t do that duty, you’d better tell me now. Because if you think I’ll tolerate this on board my ship, you’re sorely mistaken.”

“It’s my fault he’s late, Captain.”

Dax had spoken up. She threw her arm around Dan, pulling him tight to her.
“I had him so wrapped up in our wedding plans that we lost all track of time.”

Both Janeway’s eyebrows went up. She instantly looked less menacing.
“Wedding? When were you going to inform me, Mr. Holmes?”

Dan had sputtered at the thought of marrying Dax, wishing that this was the future instead of the past, but recovered quickly.
“I was going to tell you today, Captain. We just settled on a date, and-”

“-we were keeping it kind of a secret.” Dax shrugged. “You know. It was like a game. See how long we could fool everyone. It was so much fun, sneaking around after curfew. Just like being at the academy again!”

Janeway smiled indulgently. “Well then, let me offer my congratulations. I’ll be happy to give you a leave of absence, Mr. Holmes. Voyager is only on a short hop anyway. We can pick you up in two weeks at the earliest, though I daresay you’ll want time for a honeymoon. Have you picked a place?”

“Where else? Risa.”

“That’s certainly a good choice. Beautiful place, and a lot of fun to be had.”

Surveying both Dan and Dax, Janeway gave broad grin.

“Mr. Kim will miss you, Ensign, but I daresay he’ll understand.”


--
Sisko looked so different with hair. More gentle or something. Although right now he seemed a bit imposing, as there was a clear question in his voice.

“Dax, who is your friend here? I’m not familiar with him.”

Of course! This was before Daniel came to the station!

Dax thought quickly, working off of her lie earlier.
“You don’t remember, Benjamin? But you promised you’d take care of the ceremony!”

Sisko cocked his head. “Ceremony? What are you talking about, old man?”

Dax rolled her eyes, as though Sisko had missed something obvious. “The marriage ceremony, Benjamin! Ensign Holmes and I are getting married next week! You promised you’d perform the ceremony! I’m sure I submitted the request to you six months ago…”

“I don’t recall…” Sisko murmured, stroking his chin where Holmes was sure a goatee should have been. He was sure that Sisko was going to call the bluff, but breathed a sigh of relief when Sisko gave a big smile to them both.
“Well, if I said I would, I will. Congratulations to you both.”

“Thank you, sir,” Holmes put in, feeling it was bad form to remain silent. “Marrying Dax is just about the only thing in the world that could take me away from Voyager.”

Sisko frowned. “Marrying ‘Dax’? I must say, I have to question the wisdom in getting married if you aren’t on a first name basis…”

This time, Dan spoke up before Dax. “Sorry, sir. She just got off duty. I’m so used to referring to her as though we’re on duty that I slip up sometimes. One of the hazards of being a ‘Starfleet couple’, I guess.”
Dan flashed a charming grin at the end, not sure he could pull it off. But Sisko smiled and muttered some words of agreement before parting.

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusBtw, I wrote out a scene from my MI6 story, I thought you might like to read it. Btw, I wasn't planning on having Dan and Amy have any sort of 'relationship' beyond friends, and sometimes a cover, you know. Just warning you ahead of time, because of the ending in this scene.


This was an idea I had earlier today. Amy witnesses a close friend’s death, and Dan has to deal with the aftermath.

Blood continued to pool between her fingers even as she continued to give him compressions.

“Don’t you die on me, not after all we’ve been through, don’t you dare,” she growled at the man’s limp form before pinching his nose and pressing her lips to his firmly, breathing life into his lungs twice, then returning to her compressions.

“No, Owen,” she choked out, a tremble working its way down her hands as the limp man beneath her remained lifeless. “Don’t do this to me.” Her hands continued their work relentlessly, even as tears silently began to well in her eyes, refusing to spill over.

Silently, Dan came up behind her and put his hand on her shoulder.

“Amy…” he whispered, his voice hoarse with empathy. “He’s gone.”

“No,” she simply said. “No.” He grabbed her other shoulder and pulled her to her feet, tightening his grip as she struggled.

“He’s gone, Amy. It’s too late,” Dan whispered into her ear, wrapping his arms around her as she sagged in defeat, her shoulders heaving with unshed tears.

The scene faded out and then back in, but instead of an alley, Amy’s room came into focus. So did Owen, in all his post-mortem glory. His hollowed eyes bored into hers, his lifeless, seemingly unseeing eyes rooting her to the spot. She first swallowed her revulsion at the acrid stench rolling off him in waves and the obvious bits of decay here and there on his body, then her fear at having a cadaver in her room. Her guilt, however, rose to the surface abruptly.

“O-Owen, I-“ She stumbled out, but he cut her off with a voice as dead as the rest of him, and sharp as a knife.

“Save it, Amelia. We both know that bullet was meant for you. I took one for you back in ’02, wasn’t that enough for you? I had to die, too?” His tone was acidic and spiteful, and Amy flinched as though the words were physical blows.

“It wasn’t my fault, there was no way for me to know-“ she tried to defend herself, but he cut her off again.

“Bullshoot. You knew, you knew it in your gut. But you didn’t listen. And now, you’re going to join me.”

He advanced forward in two heavy strides and before she could move, his mottled hand was around her neck, pinching off her air supply.


“AMY!” A shout rang through the room, and in a flurry of motion and sound, Dan found himself pinned face-down to the bed his friend had previously been occupying with something cold pressed to his temple and ragged, shallow breathing on his neck- the cold something he suspected was a P99 handgun. The name or brand made no difference; in the end, he’d be just as dead. “Amy,” he tried again in a low, forcibly calm voice, “it’s me. It’s Dan.” He felt the breathing against his neck hitch momentarily, and then the weight left his back, along with the gun at his temple.

“What the hell are you doing in here, Daniel?” Amy asked hoarsely, standing a foot or so away from the man she nearly killed. He slowly sat up on the bed and straightened his clothes. He was wearing his usual sleepwear, a lightweight white cotton shirt and dark grey, loosely-fitting yoga pants. He cleared his throat and ran a shaking hand through his hair, adrenaline still coursing through him.

“You were screaming, so naturally, I came in to help,” came the shaky reply.

“I nearly blew you away, Daniel,” she stated almost angrily, smothering her guilt with her rage.

“I didn’t know you slept with a handgun under your pillow, or I would have knocked louder,” he said quietly. His defeated tone had her guilt rising to the surface again. She quietly clicked the safety back into place on her gun, setting it aside on the nightstand next to the bed before sitting right next to Dan, leaving almost no personal space between them. She took his hand and squeezed it gently, causing him to raise his head and look at her.

“Thank you for trying, Daniel. I’m sorry I almost killed you. This has been…” She sighed heavily,” …a rough few days. Thank you,” she said again with another hand-squeeze. He responded with a slight smile, then a flicker of hesitation before wrapping his arms around her in a wordless hug. Surprised at first, Amy froze, but soon relaxed into the embrace upon realizing his intention, sinking into his arms and tucking her face into his neck. Dan knew better than anyone that a person could only handle so much, especially someone with as high a daily stress intake as Amy. Sometimes, a little human contact goes a long way. Even for a super-spy.

So how was your day?

Math filled, but not too bad. I just found out we don't have a midterm in this course, so I'm absolutely thrilled about that.
How about your day?

YunieXTidus on October 19, 2011, 3:00:45 PM

YunieXTidusLucky!!! I had a bio and math test today. Definitely bombed the math. Tomorrow's the last day of class til the weekend so I'm happy about that.

My headphones crapped out and I don't have the money to replace them! >:{

nextguardianI've got the opposite issue. I'm dreading the weekend. I've got work Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday. Sunday and Monday are the worst of the days --'

Oh, that sucks. Sorry to hear that.

YunieXTidus on October 19, 2011, 3:09:12 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat sucks. Of course you could always come to my place after work! I'd make you feel better ;)

Yeah, I'll wheedle some money outta my mom this weekend, prolly.

nextguardian on October 19, 2011, 3:19:36 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, I don't doubt. No matter how tempted, I'm so miserable after work I can't imagine anyone would want to be around me.

You do what you have to, right?

Would you like a little preview of one of the episodes I worked on for our co-op fic? I shared most of it with you before, but I've since added more.
Oh, and I decided I'm going to have Holmes be tight with Kira and Garak- and also Gul Dukat, later on.

YunieXTidus on October 20, 2011, 5:55:15 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI just spent two hours on the phone with my math tutor to work out a 20 problem assignment. Evil stuff --'

Ah well. Quick question- do you have a couple major events for Amy so we can make a loose chronology of events?

YunieXTidus on October 18, 2011, 2:32:50 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, she comes to DS9. She and Julian kind of hit it off, but nothing major happens. Then the Borg incident. Then later down the line, the planet-stranded thing with O'Brien happens. Then relationship-deepening with Julian. Then her brother shows up and Bashir thinks it's her baby-daddy. And somewhere near the end, she finally gets assigned to Enterprise. I guess very close to the end, she decides that DS9 is more the place for her than Enterprise.

How's that?

nextguardian on October 18, 2011, 2:35:43 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianVery nice. This is what I've got for Holmes:
-Takes on a Trill Symbiont (he's a temporary host)
-becomes Starfleet Security Liaison
-Becomes a Bajoran citizen aboard DS9 during the dominion war
-Leaves DS9 briefly to become a first officer on an Intrepid class ship; returns within two months in defense of the station.

Have you seen this yet?

nextguardian(Shakes head) It pissed me off so much. What kind of heartless son of a dog...never mind, what ,15 sons of doges could do that?

nextguardianbtw, there's an edited version of the video. If you type in 'YueYue' in a YouTube search and pick the video that is just shy of 2 mins long (something about 'world outrage' or something is in the title).

YunieXTidus on October 18, 2011, 2:54:20 PM

YunieXTidusWell, I dunno if that was fake or not, but I feel the need to puke now. Thanks so much.

nextguardianShould've warned you. Sorry about that. It's 100% real. And it's 100% pissing me off. I can't believe any humans could act that way.

Anyway, I apologize. I didn't even think to warn you, and I should have.

YunieXTidus on October 18, 2011, 2:58:47 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIt's okay. I mean it would be one thing if it was an adult, but it was a little kid! Just... ladskjfalkjfasdlkfalgnl.

Okay, we need a major subject change!!!

nextguardian on October 18, 2011, 3:01:21 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYes, yes, back to DS9.

So, how does Holmes' chronology sound?

YunieXTidus on October 18, 2011, 3:02:32 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYeah, I like it!

nextguardian on October 18, 2011, 3:09:03 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThere's some other stuff, of course. Him and Dax, and how that works out. Stuff I haven't decided yet.

So, let's think of the next couple episodes. For Dan's part (The episodes where I start, anyway, so over the next four), I'd like to hit the one where he becomes a Trill host next, and then maybe that holosuite one where we have Admiral Sulu showing up. I'd be more insistent on the Trill thing showing up soon than anything.

Anything in mind for Amy in the short term?

YunieXTidus on October 18, 2011, 3:10:04 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, her and Dan getting off on the wrong foot, then remedying the situation, I suppose.

nextguardian on October 18, 2011, 3:16:24 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, right. I like that. Any ideas on how that could work out? I forgot how we get them off on the wrong foot.

YunieXTidus on October 18, 2011, 3:33:40 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHe comes in and she's subtly rude to him, and brushes him off whenever she can. She has a thing against red-shirts.

And then later she's having nightmares from her agoraphobia (being on a space-station next to a worm-hole doesn't help), and Dan spots her and offers to teach her to meditate. She slowly gets to know him, and through that reforms her opinion about him and apologizes.

nextguardian on October 18, 2011, 3:37:28 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAh, that's right, that's right. She should hate him for a little while first, though, right? Or do you want to leap right into that in our third episode? It could work either way.

How about if Quark tries to gain Holmes favor by making Dax into an Orion slave girl on the holosuite. Dan says no, but Dax sees the program and gets mad at Dan? Cliched, but an effecitve B story.

YunieXTidus on October 18, 2011, 3:59:50 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm not sure. It depends on how much 'screentime' they have together in a short period.

XD that's awesome. I plan on Amy and quark becoming close friends.

nextguardian on October 18, 2011, 4:08:29 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianLet's see...she's going to meet him in the next episode, while Bashir is treating Sisko and O'Brien. So Holmes would likely chalk her cold shoulder up to stress. The next epsisode he'd definitely take offense, but probably not say anything unless majorly provoked.
I say give them this episode, plus one more, and then on the one after that have them start to get close. I'd like to push for the Trill thing next, and they probably won't be together that much. And even then, given the surgery, she won't be hating him too muc, since he'll be in major pain. I think, anyway.

lol, I thought that might be worthwhile ^^
Amy and Quark will be fun!

nextguardian on October 18, 2011, 4:08:48 PM

nextguardian:D

Ah, cool, cool.

Were you a fan of the original X-Men cartoon series? The old, hand-drawn 90's cartoon?

Oh, I had an idea for our co-op fic. I plan to make Dan the Starfleet Security Liaison, which will annoy Odo. What will annoy Odo further is his friendship with Major Kira. What would you think about Odo losing restraint and giving Dan a good smack at some point? (There's more to it than that, but just as an overview)

YunieXTidus on October 17, 2011, 2:03:08 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYes! I loved that! Although I liked the newer version simply because nightcrawler was so awesome. xD

Yes! That would be awesome.

Okay, while we're on that subject, what did you have in mind for our current 'episode'? Like, the main plot? Cause I can't really remember.

nextguardian on October 17, 2011, 2:06:42 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYes, that's true. I loved the old stuff. The hokey voice acting, the hand-drawn comic style...the opening. It's like every guy's Satam cartoon fantasy- space flight, giant explosion, powerful guys, hot (and powerful) girls, and a kick-@$$ villain. A number of kick-@$$ villains, actually. Magneto rocks!

Cool. That's perfect, then. I can make that work.

Well, for the time being we're just doing some random episodes to establish characters and love interests. Central theme, I think, would be fighting the dominion occupation. Sound okay?

nextguardian on October 17, 2011, 2:43:18 PM

Well, work has picked up. That's good and bad. It's majorly stressful on mind, body, and spirit, but the money's good enough. Greed triumphs, I guess. lol. So, I'll just say 'surviving', at any rate. How about you?

He'd shake, sweat, and be nervous as hell (just shy of throwing up, since he hates vomiting more than anything), but he'd rise to the challenge, then be completely drained afterward.

YunieXTidus on October 17, 2011, 12:59:53 PM

YunieXTidusHaha, I wish I had a job. I needs money! Just midterms coming up for me, mostly. I've been wanting to get some tattoos (as I talked with you about before), but they're so expensive and mom doesn't have spare money at the moment. xD So I'm just stuck with my plain boring skin until further notice.

Another question- how do you feel about dreadlocks on a girl?

I'm gonna have a lot of fun with that. xD

YunieXTidus on October 12, 2011, 2:10:12 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusListening to music and thinking about writing a bit. You?

nextguardian on October 12, 2011, 2:16:03 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNot much. Answering some emails, doing some homework, etc.

You know what sucks? I was just hit with two ideas for our ST fic.

1. Dan and Amy were both on Enterprise D. Holmes leaves when O'Brien does, telling Picard that he 'doesn't think he's important to the function of the Enterprise. It's too easy to get lost among that many people. I wish I'd worked with you more.'

2. Dax breaks up with Dan. He accepts a promotion and transfer to another ship as a second officer and chief of security. He later comes back and dies (or nearly dies) defending DS9 against orders.

What sucks about these is they're both depressing!

Anyway, what are you writing tonight, if I may ask?

YunieXTidus on October 12, 2011, 2:20:32 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusBoth depressing, and the first one is incongruous to our storyline!

Some Vice City. I just haven't felt inspired to write more on your RQ the past few days. I'm hoping this coming week I'll get out of this rut and finish it up.

nextguardian on October 12, 2011, 2:23:53 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYeah, I was thinking of the alternate universe route at some point. Not sure why this popped up. Probably because I could see Holmes feeling that way. It's gotta be hard to crack the starting line-up on a crew that huge!

It's all good. Not pressuring; only asking out of conversation. No need to explain. Go, write. Writewritewritewrite! (Dinozzo style persuasion. lol)

YunieXTidus on October 12, 2011, 2:25:28 PM

YunieXTidusI don't think I've seen that ep.

nextguardian on October 12, 2011, 3:09:42 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt's the one where they're trying to find that Navy Lt. in a car trunk. The group finds these two kids using her cell phone. Ziva takes the phone after the guy says he's talking ot his gf, and giggles, saying 'don't touch me there!'.

YunieXTidus on October 12, 2011, 3:11:40 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh! I remember that one. Just not the 'writewritewrite' bit.

nextguardian on October 12, 2011, 3:24:10 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAh. That part comes when Tony is trying to talk to the two kids with the phone. He puts the speaker on his phone on and walks away. They mention a guy name 'Gecks'. Tony comes back and tells them to 'write. write----'.

YunieXTidus on October 12, 2011, 3:24:51 PM

YunieXTidusHmm. I'll need to re-watch that. xD

Not much. Just finished homework; still answering this one email. Man, it's long!

YunieXTidus on October 12, 2011, 3:37:16 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI remember that much. I love Ziva.

Email for what?

xD Yeah! Glad I'm not nuts.

nextguardian on October 12, 2011, 3:42:52 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, I did that to one of my friends once. He was on the phone with either his gf or another male friend. Either way, they didn't know who I was, so I shouted out in a rich baritone 'hey, don't touch me there!'. I guess my buddy got razzed pretty good for that. lol. I owed him one.

It's from a friend I don't see very often. When we catch up, it tends to be lengthy. like 3000 words plus.

No, you're as sane as anyone else. Except me. I'm nuts. XD

YunieXTidus on October 12, 2011, 3:44:33 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHahaha. See, if it was me, I'd be like, "that feels soooo goood," in a sensuous voice. xD "Rich baritone"? Is that not your normal voice?

nextguardian on October 12, 2011, 3:53:40 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, I didn't think about that. Next time, next time.

Well, I made my voice extra deep. My voice is average pitch. I just made it sound extra deep and masculine. lol.

YunieXTidus on October 12, 2011, 4:12:17 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusSee, now I'm curious. xD

So, you, Kiba, and me get together for a photoshoot. You guys in your own specialty gear, and i'll photograph! What say you?

YunieXTidusNice. You should check out "erutan". You have to order the cd cause she doesn't do digital, but she has a preview of each song in a YouTube video on her channel. Look up "erutan album", and it should be one of the first ones.

alchemest1Little trick of the Religious trade. A lot of spells and such are Gaelic. I know a bit of Gaelic, Babylonian and can write Theban, Angelic, Malachim.

alchemest1 on October 12, 2011, 4:56:41 AM

alchemest1 on
alchemest1Thanks. Remember. it's tweaks. Mostly vocab increases and getting rid of non dialog cliches. *in the dialog i am using real speak rather than Grammatically correct English* Anyway, also hoping to give deeper psychoanalysis to the characters.

YunieXTidus on October 12, 2011, 5:05:07 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYes I can see a major improvement. My only advice is to use ellipses instead of commas in this part.

“Wait for it... five... four... three... two... one... and now.”

It makes the reader pause, so your meaning comes across better. But yeah, I like the changes.

alchemest1 on October 12, 2011, 5:18:06 AM

alchemest1 on
alchemest1I forgot to change those back actually. The proofreader I am using doens't recognize them and instead tries to say it is multiple end punctuation. Anyway, in the finished bit it will be corrected.

YunieXTidusI saw! I thought Christmas and Yule were basically the same thing.

alchemest1 on October 11, 2011, 4:42:19 PM

alchemest1 on
alchemest1Well, Yule is different. Of course Christmas is based on the Christian belief system and Modern x-mas is based on commercialism and charity. Yule is based off of celebration of bounty and the remembrance of sacrifice and provision.

YunieXTidus on October 11, 2011, 5:04:45 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusChristmas was originally pagan though. It USED to be Yule. Right?

alchemest1 on October 11, 2011, 5:12:31 PM

alchemest1 on
alchemest1Christmas was created to cover up the Pagan's Yule. If you do historical research you will find it was Augustas Ceasar that placed Christmas on the date it is on. The Pagan holiday Yule was celebrated on the winter Solstice on the dates ranging from 22nd-25th depending on the year. Historical records would show that Christ was not born in what is the Month of December. He was born during the Roman's taxation and census season which was somewhere between august and September. The reason for placing the date where it is now was because Augustas Ceasar was attempting to gain favor with the rising Christian populace of his empire and he decided that placing the birth of Christ over a Pagan holiday would in turn smother Yule. the actual correlation of the dates are actually very irrelevant.

YunieXTidus on October 11, 2011, 5:14:32 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusRight. I did a paper on that.

So did you read it yet? What did you think?

alchemest1 on October 11, 2011, 5:24:22 PM

alchemest1Cool. did a paper on it huh? nice. Anyway, read it. Nice story. lol good dialog. You seem to like writing yaoi. lol. I know that subject well.

YunieXTidus on October 11, 2011, 5:33:31 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusXD I told you I have a slash fetish. Slash/yaoi/BL, etc. Yeah.

But I really try to capture the essence of the characters through mannerisms and dialogue. Do you think they acted like themselves?

alchemest1 on October 11, 2011, 5:40:18 PM

alchemest1 on
alchemest1Oh, I don't mind. I'm very fond of yaoi. Gets me a rather frisky. Anyway, I haven't played in awhile, but it sounded like them to me. I like the dialogs. It flowed.

Taking a break from writing and math both atm. Just watched Resident Evil: Apocalypse. Love that movie. October is the one month on the year where I become obsessed with watching movies because so many of my favorites are horror movies. They only feel this good once in a while- all through October, and then on rainy summer nights.

Get up clean up the apartment a bit, check out my online forums, Fill out some apps, Do some work trying to get my medical license all straightened out*i have national certification, but my state certification is all screwed up* Then when my bf gets home i cater to him a bit.

YunieXTidusHey nothing to apologize for! Mine aren't anything to brag about. I wake up around 10:30, go to class at 11, then come home and sleep some more. Then when my mom gets home we watch tv while we eat dinner, and I play some video games while she watches or grades papers. Then she goes to bed and I get online and ff.net or FAC or youtube. Nothing exciting.

YunieXTidus on October 10, 2011, 1:00:41 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh, I'm fine. He just showed up at my house last night, at the second inside door instead of the front door. There are two inside doors- one that's inside the garage that leads to the kitchen, and one that is past the garage inside my backyard, on the patio. He came to that one and knocked. Of course, I was in the tv room, which is the room that door looks into, and I was just in a tshirt and underwear, so I was a little rattled.

Today he came by, but after the chewing out I gave him about trespassing, he rang the doorbell at the front door. My mom gave him the run-around, and he got lost.

What do you think? Top language warning, then a medium warning for nudity and sexuality? I didn't go into detail describing, I only mentioned that people were naked and their intent...sex never actually takes place, either.

YunieXTidus on October 10, 2011, 2:47:30 PM

YunieXTidusYou'd make an interesting pair, for sure.

So what's up with you for tonight?

alchemest1 on October 10, 2011, 3:02:13 PM

alchemest1Not to much really. just chilling. Working on a medical case and considering getting some food.

alchemest1 on
alchemest1Oh yeah? what he doing? sorry for the wait. I have been revising the story to Undergraduate english levels.

YunieXTidus on October 9, 2011, 2:01:18 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIt's fine. Well yesterday he wouldn't leave me alone til I told him where I lived and said I'd go on a walk with him. Then he kept putting his arm around my shoulder, or putting them around my waist, and holding my hands and stuff. Then when I told him I had to go home, I had to physically pry myself away from him, because he wouldn't let me go at first.

But today he showed up not at the front door, but the SECOND inside door (we have one to the kitchen, and another one further down on the house that leads to the bonus room), where the door window has a clear view of the tv room that i'm in with no pants on.

Just shows up uninvited, unannounced. Wants me to go eat with him and some friends. He's a nice guy, but super creepy and he scared the crap out of me.

alchemest1 on October 9, 2011, 2:10:50 PM

alchemest1 on
alchemest1Hmmm.(cocks brow)Well.....I used to be an officer. That to me would warrant consideration of a restraining order.

YunieXTidus on October 9, 2011, 2:12:26 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, I'll tell him not to abuse his privilege of knowing where I live like that. If things like that keep happening, I'll tell him I'm thinking about it.

I don't honestly think he knows that what he's doing is creepy. He's just trying to reach out to me, I guess. (he has a crush.)

alchemest1 on October 9, 2011, 2:16:50 PM

alchemest1 on
alchemest1Hmmm, still, but there is such a thing as an in appropriate lvl of attention. U def need to inform him of that.

YunieXTidus on October 9, 2011, 2:18:22 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusRight. Not to mention that you don't just keep going around the house til somebody answers. I mean, jeez.

alchemest1 on October 9, 2011, 2:28:55 PM

alchemest1 on
alchemest1yeah, just a bit creepy. Anyway, other than that how are u?
Oh and what i have of the story so far I have a B+ grade for a Post Doctorate writing lvl. lol. my readability is still at a 69% meaning ppl from grad 8 and up should find it engaging and easy to read.

YunieXTidus on October 9, 2011, 2:32:44 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, I was fine til that happened. Now I'm on edge, and I feel a headache coming on.

I have no idea what you're talking about.

alchemest1 on October 9, 2011, 2:36:38 PM

alchemest1 on
alchemest1Lol. i mean the story I had u read? It is at a post graduate lvl of writing. If i were to give it to a University Professor i would get a B or higher on the story.

Anyway, I don't blame u for being on edge. I have had ppl like that before. It is rather unnerving.

YunieXTidus on October 9, 2011, 2:39:02 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh, oh, ok. Sorry, my brain isn't really working right now.

Unnerving barely covers it. xD

alchemest1 on October 9, 2011, 2:41:45 PM

alchemest1 on
alchemest1I know how u feel. My brain is kinda fried today. Anyway, awww, poor thing. sorry he has u frazzled.

YunieXTidus on October 9, 2011, 2:43:22 PM

YunieXTidusOne of my friends is amazing and wonderful, and he's going to pretend to be my boyfriend for a month or two, to get creepy boy off my back.

Brb, taking advil.

YunieXTidusOf course!

nextguardian on October 7, 2011, 11:58:47 AM

nextguardianCool. Check your email.

So, anything else up tonight?

YunieXTidus on October 7, 2011, 12:00:58 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI SHOULD be working on a paper, but NCIS is more important. xD

nextguardian on October 7, 2011, 12:04:54 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAbsolutely! :D You'll get no argument from me!

nextguardian on October 7, 2011, 1:21:19 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, I should warn you- the story I sent is fairly long.

YunieXTidus on October 7, 2011, 1:23:00 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusXD no kidding! That's what's taking me so long.

If you absolutely had to pick any slash pairing from NCIS, what would it be and why?

nextguardian on October 7, 2011, 1:25:03 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, sorry. How far are you, may I ask?

Can't think of any I'd like for NCIS. Can't see any good ones there. But that's just me XD I'm too focused on AbbyXMcGee.

YunieXTidus on October 7, 2011, 1:27:24 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThey're at the checkout in the store.

I was thinking GibbsxTony. Although I love abby and mcgoo. ZivaxMcgee intrigues me. Reminiscent of DanxAzami ;p

nextguardian on October 7, 2011, 1:31:47 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAh, okay. It gets more fun soon ^^

lol, you have a point there! There is a parallel! I'm pretty firm on TonyXZiva, though.

YunieXTidus on October 7, 2011, 2:24:18 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusJust finished your story. I love it! You definitely know your stuff.

nextguardian on October 7, 2011, 2:34:24 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThanks! Any favorite parts?

YunieXTidus on October 7, 2011, 2:35:43 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThe little bits of affection were nice. And I loved the shopping scene at the beginning.

nextguardian on October 7, 2011, 2:38:13 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI was trying to keep it mostly realistic. The fight scene kind of bent a few rules, but that was actually written first.

I love how Azami's totally open and relaxed with Dan about stuff. She's not quite her over-the-top Naruto self, but still 'Azami-ish', if that makes sense ^^'

YunieXTidus on October 8, 2011, 10:41:07 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusSorry, I fell asleep between my post and your reply. xD How are you tonight?

nextguardian on October 8, 2011, 12:05:33 PM

nextguardianI'm alright, I guess. Really, really tired for some reason. How about you?

nextguardian on October 8, 2011, 1:18:06 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianServing has been updated. Enjoy!

YunieXTidus on October 8, 2011, 1:35:50 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusSorry I got on so late. A friend demanded that we go for a walk, and I just now was able to escape his grasp. -_-

He's a nice guy, and obviously into me, but he's a bit overbearing for me. He "casually" put his arm around me, and wouldn't stop pretending to stretch until I moved so he could, then he moved my arms so he could put his around my waist. Then he laced our fingers together, all without any prompting.

The only thing I did he could possibly have construed as "egging him on" would be that I put my legs under his- we were on a jungle gym, and he was in my way. I wanted to stretch out my legs, so I put mine under his. It all sort of went downhill from there.

And then when I was trying to go home, he wouldn't let me go. I had to pry his hands off of me so I could leave. THEN he wanted not just one, but two "goodnight" hugs. -_-

nextguardian on October 8, 2011, 1:52:50 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThere's always the clearest course of action- kick him in the stones, then sweetly explain that he's fine, but you're not that into him...

YunieXTidus on October 8, 2011, 1:54:24 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI would have been, except he was way too forward. He's a nice guy, but I don't think he's dated much, because he obviously doesn't know proper etiquette. I know it isn't really his fault, because I did express an interest, but... I dunno. The straightforwardness of it all kind of turned me off.

nextguardian on October 8, 2011, 2:01:05 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThen the case becomes 'how willing are you to give him a chance', I guess. If you can tone him down, is it worth your effort is the question I'd be asking myself were I in your place, I guess.

YunieXTidus on October 8, 2011, 2:33:42 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI've got my eye on this guy at church, and I've also got a guy back in Illinois i'm into. But yeah, he's not so much on my list anymore.

nextguardian on October 8, 2011, 2:39:28 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThen there's your answer. Though I still give the guy credit for stepping up at all.

So, what's up tonight?

YunieXTidus on October 8, 2011, 2:40:26 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThere is such a thing as "too much of a good thing."

Just working on this paper. Sort of. xD And listening to music. Hbu? Btw, I commented on your update.

nextguardian on October 8, 2011, 2:48:05 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh sure, but on behalf of clueless guys everywhere- we're clueless! XD For what it's worth, I think you're being smart about the whole thing.

lol.

And thanks! What did you think? I was looking forward to your reaction that that whole thing.

YunieXTidus on October 8, 2011, 2:52:46 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI was confused at first, I'm like "wait... Sakura's into him in the co-op... what's going on?" I thought her snap was kind of sudden.

I liked the Shoki/Sakura scene, where he's worried and she reassures him.

nextguardianJust the opposite. On to homework now.

YunieXTidus on October 5, 2011, 1:14:26 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusSigh. You and your priorities.

nextguardian on October 5, 2011, 1:20:22 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianLol, don't make me sound so noble. It's not priorities; it's being tired of college but not wanting to quit. If I were to put a word to it...stupid. XD Nah, just kidding. College is worthwhile; I just don't happen to be suited for it.

Was I any help about D Gray Man last night? I should point out again that there is zero pressure to take the request. I think I'm actually more interested in what you think of the opening.

YunieXTidus on October 5, 2011, 1:22:24 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI remember you showed me the opening before. I liked it. It kind of reminded me of Bleach.

And np, I'll do it. I've already got 2 requests that I've been neglecting for GTA, though, so it'll take a while. I like to do things in order (not usually, but *shrug*).

nextguardian on October 5, 2011, 1:29:59 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYeah, a little bit. I forgot you were a Bleach fan. If I weren't so far behind (I keep with the manga releases), I'd talk about it more. lol, all of my buddies have Bleach names. Typically, I'll refer to myself as Ukitake, while my two buddies are (much to their chagrin) Kiyone and Sentaro. This is a typical conversation we had with regularity for a full year, starting about 2 years ago:

Friend 1: "Dude, why can't I be Ichigo?!"
Me: "You suck, that's why. And your hair is like Kiyone's!"
Friend 1:"Aw, c'mon! At least say 'Gin' instead!"
Friend 2:"No. You're not evil, just stupid."
Friend 1:"You guys suck!"
Me: "That's it! You're Keigo now, smartass!"
Friend 2: "Haha!"
Me: "I wouldn't laugh, Sentaro."
Friend 2: "C'mon, I drink like Kyoraku! At least give me that!"
Me: "...fine. But then I double as Aizen!"
Friend 1: "Why are you guys all the good parts?!"
Me: "Someone has to...Tosen."
Friend 1: "Oh, come on!"
Conversation repeats.

No rush at all. Take all the time you need/want :) If you get bogged down and scrap it, no biggie there, either.

YunieXTidus on October 6, 2011, 12:48:29 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYou have way too much free time on your hands.... xD

So, I'm thinking about forensic psychology as a career choice.

nextguardianOh, yes, I did. Forgot to reply. So:

Awesome! I can't wait to read it, of course!
The other thing was (and again, really no rush)- how about a picture of Lenalee from D. Gray Man kissing Holmes? Or, if you're feeling creative, you can always make it Kuroko kissing Holmes. More or less the same physically. No pressure to take it, and no pressure to rush!

And also awesome! I know you're a good friend. I lose stuff all the time, and I kept you waiting on RQ's for much longer than you have on mine! Can't wait to see Holmes!

YunieXTidus on October 4, 2011, 1:34:18 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI have no idea who Lenalee is or what D. Gray Man is. xD

But you'll have to give me another description of Kuroko and her clothing style (mostly, what you want in the picture).

I'm working (again) on a paper, and my mom's sick so she can't help me. I'm trying to solicit help from my stingy friend. I'm practically having to bribe him to help me.

nextguardian on October 4, 2011, 1:39:34 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAllow me to enlighten you XD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pa0MJXjirgo&feature=related

Lenalee is the girl at :16, :36, and :42 seconds.

On second thought, can we just go with Lenalee kissing Holmes? I might have a better request about Kuroko later. I can't say more without revealing something about 'Serving'. The only guideline for Holmes is 'Dark clothing'. If this is going to be a problem at all, let me know. It's not life or death, okay? :)

lol. I wish I could have been of more help. I'd probably be more fun to bribe. XD

nextguardian on October 3, 2011, 2:07:51 PM

nextguardianApparently, they didn't enjoy themselves that much near the hotel, which was in a ghetto. But they had a good time with the historical landmarks and the rainforest. Wish I could've gone for the rainforest part.

YunieXTidus on October 3, 2011, 2:08:52 PM

nextguardian on October 3, 2011, 2:10:05 PM

YunieXTidus on October 3, 2011, 2:20:53 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh, I see. I'm gonna head to bed in a little bit. I've been feeling more tired than usual at this hour. Not sure if that's a sign of getting sick (again) or... I dunno. xD

Anyway, night! I have to finish my rough draft for the -real- paper tomorrow, but if I get that done before too late I'll work on wrapping up your RQ. As to your other question about an RQ pic, sure. What did you have in mind?

Btw, I drew Dan Holmes, back before school let out, but I lost it! I'll eventually pull down my school stuff and rummage through it. I'm sure it'll turn up. Just know that it's done and I'm not a totally horrible friend! Just a forgetful one. xD

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI've got to make some progress on this stupid paper! x_x I'm stuck at the beginning like I always am.

I was gonna ask if you were any good at papers, but I think I remember you mentioning you weren't. Damn.

nextguardian on October 2, 2011, 12:44:42 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianDepends what kind of paper it is. You mentioned an analysis, I think. What kind did you mean?

YunieXTidus on October 2, 2011, 12:45:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHere's the instructions:


Analysis #4 due 3 October
1. I want you to pick the word you think you are going to write your Definition paper on for this analysis. In one page, let me see who your targeted audience is going to be. Then, give me the essential definition of your word (see your book around p. 242-243), give me two synonyms, and give me three vivid images that help to define your word (think E.B. White and G.K. Chesterton for this part). You do want this to be a FULL page – but try not to exceed a page! Remember what I will be looking for: Whether or not you pay attention to the directions, proper MLA, no contractions, questions, or first or second person etc.!!!

nextguardian on October 2, 2011, 1:04:44 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianSo you need to define a word and aim it at the correct audience, is that it? Did you pick a word?

YunieXTidus on October 2, 2011, 1:07:23 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusSomething like that. I chose Doctor (big surprise, me being a doctor who fan and all.)

http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/doctor

This is the source I'm using for the definition. 1b and 2a. I'm just not sure how to start it. It's supposed to go from general to specific, and I'm just not sure how to do it. I don't usually struggle like this with essays.

nextguardianI was going to suggest, if you want brownie points, pick a word like 'Hyperbole' and in the process of defining it, use it in a sentence from some 'classic' poem/story/etc. Like 'Homer uses Hyperbole through Odysseus in 'The Oddysey'. Odysseus says that 'the cyclops is as high as 20 mountains, and Zeus himself may have quaked in fear'.

YunieXTidus on October 2, 2011, 1:28:46 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusInteresting thought. Honestly I think this is a dumb assignment.

Anyway, how are you doing? Any progress? (hop-skip-happy!)

nextguardian on October 2, 2011, 1:38:03 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYeah, it is pretty stupid, not gonna lie. For the record, if you do change your word, don't pick hyperbole. It only has one definition.

Some. Not quite done, but getting there ^^

Out of curiosity- what is the worst, most humilating yet somehow sexy thing a girl could do to a guy/with a guy? Thinking of Azami again, of course.

YunieXTidus on October 2, 2011, 1:42:51 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusUhh... I dunno? That's more your territory.

nextguardian on October 2, 2011, 1:48:27 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOkay, just curious on a female perspective. No biggie, really. lol, I suppose it is my turf at that!

You know who Holmes might have gotten along best with? Tasha Yar. (Sorry, random I know, but it just occured to me)

YunieXTidus on October 2, 2011, 2:03:02 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHaha. Not to rush you, but when do you think you'll be done with it?

nextguardian on October 2, 2011, 2:08:25 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm not sure. I'm more than halfway done. Probably like 70% It all depends on how fast ideas flow.

YunieXTidus on October 2, 2011, 2:10:20 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusMm. I'm dying!

nextguardian on October 2, 2011, 2:13:40 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, sorry. But it must be quality or I won't share. There's no malice on my end, I promise!

YunieXTidus on October 2, 2011, 2:32:23 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusA slow and painful death!

YunieXTidus on October 2, 2011, 2:36:19 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAnyway, I think I'm going to go to bed and get up at 10 so I can finish this. Cause nothing's coming to me right now and I can't focus. xD Anyway, please please please let me know when you're done with Damy. Or... Amta? That's lame. Okay. Data/Amy. Anyway. Goodnight. xDD

nextguardian on October 2, 2011, 2:35:20 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, sorry. I'll write your obituary. Might take me a while to make it quality, though...
;)
I'm working as fast as I can. Hang tough!

YunieXTidus on October 2, 2011, 2:37:15 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol.

nextguardian on October 2, 2011, 2:45:44 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianSorry. That was crude. I certainly don't wish that.
If I push a bit, I can probably finish by tonight.

When you're past all these english papers, would you consider an pic rq? With absolutely NO RUSH- you can take ten years to finish it, if you want.

nextguardian on October 2, 2011, 3:30:47 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI finished Amy/Data!

nextguardian on October 1, 2011, 3:50:47 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, I figured I would have surprised you a bit with that one. Then again, I suppose not, lol.

Btw- you remember that Azami pic I was working on? Where she was whipping Yuji? I figured out where I went wrong, and I found a model to help me fix it. Sadly, not a real model, just a pic. lol.

YunieXTidus on October 1, 2011, 3:53:10 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol I've learned to not be surprised by you anymore! You've gotta step up your game!

xD Yes, well, them's the breaks. I'd like to see it when you're done correcting it.

nextguardian on October 1, 2011, 3:57:15 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIndeed I do! lol

It's on my to-do list. Hopefully it won't be too long.

So, how's my RQ coming?

YunieXTidus on October 1, 2011, 3:58:49 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD Wellll, I sort of had a Doctor Who marathon today, leading up to the season finale, so I may or may not have accidentally neglected it. :( I've got 1 1/2 papers to do tomorrow, so if I get those done before too late tomorrow, I'll probably wrap up your RQ that night. If not, it'll be Monday evening.

nextguardian on October 1, 2011, 4:09:24 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianTake your time. There's no rush.

YunieXTidus on October 1, 2011, 4:10:09 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI just feel bad because I keep promising you I'll have it done by "tonight," and then my laziness says "nonono, we're doing THIS tonight instead!"

nextguardian on October 1, 2011, 4:18:54 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNah, don't worry about it. No big deal :)

YunieXTidus on October 1, 2011, 4:19:45 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusStop being so damned understanding! Yell at me! Be angry! Threaten to withhold sex!

nextguardian on October 1, 2011, 4:28:50 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNah, that's not my style XD

Well, I'm going to go for the night. I'm pretty sure I just failed my math course, so I'm just going to go to bed. Have a good night!

YunieXTidus on October 1, 2011, 4:29:37 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAww. Well, I'll go visit your professor tomorrow and convince him that you're worth passing. Sleep well!

YunieXTidus on October 1, 2011, 1:33:40 PM

YunieXTidusOh, yikes. Get off FAC and do your work, mister! All sex is withheld until math is complete.

nextguardian on October 1, 2011, 1:40:26 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol. I'm doing my homework on and off as we speak. If I don't break it up I get frustrated and do worse.

Empty threat. You want it as much as I do!

YunieXTidus on October 1, 2011, 1:45:04 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWanting is irrelevant. I have a ridiculous amount of self control!

nextguardian on October 1, 2011, 1:52:07 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAs do I! Staring contest!

YunieXTidus on October 1, 2011, 2:04:47 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusStaring has nothing to do with sex!

nextguardian on October 1, 2011, 2:08:50 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt has to do with self-control though.

Damn it! I failed that stupid quiz again! It's great I get unlimited tries, but I wish I could just move on. I don't ahve time to screw around with this stupid crap!

YunieXTidus on October 1, 2011, 2:12:09 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI meant sexual self control.

Pay someone to take it for you. Or bribe your professor with sex for an a.

nextguardian on October 1, 2011, 2:18:01 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh. Well, that's probably another story XD

No way. I'm too greedy, and my professor is a dude. So no way. lol.

YunieXTidus on October 1, 2011, 2:20:35 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'll do the sex part. For a price.

nextguardian on October 1, 2011, 2:29:47 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol. Not saying I'm considering it, but what price?

YunieXTidus on October 1, 2011, 2:36:30 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusTo be announced!

nextguardian on October 1, 2011, 2:37:46 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWhen you know, let me know. Again, not that I'm considering it!

YunieXTidus on October 1, 2011, 2:44:01 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLet's just say it involves you in a French maid's uniform.

nextguardian on October 1, 2011, 2:50:41 PM

YunieXTidus on October 1, 2011, 3:00:04 PM

About the apostophies that is an error on my part on the lines that should be questions. But some others are deliberate, but I'm not sure now if that is wise... it was at the time...

YunieXTidus on October 1, 2011, 3:37:34 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm good.

Did the bewitching combo work, though? ;)

Btw, andr28a updated his KH fic, in case you were interested.

nextguardian on September 30, 2011, 1:37:42 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAbsolutely it did! Very charming.

Ah, I got the memo. I'm about to read it.

Quick question- was it obvious that Azami was going to pick Kojiro in 'Serving'?

YunieXTidus on September 30, 2011, 1:40:46 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNo, not at all. I'd completely forgotten about Kojiro until she mentioned him, actually. xD

nextguardian on September 30, 2011, 1:46:07 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianGood. I didn't want it to be a dead giveaway. I had a lot of fun writing that chapter, plus the next few. I can't wait for the next arc!

So, anything good happen today?

nextguardian on September 30, 2011, 1:57:49 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianbtw- what did you end up thinking about that couple chapters of the co-op fic I sent you? The Andr28a coop fic, I mean.

YunieXTidus on September 30, 2011, 2:00:11 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm sorry, my notification didn't pop up.

Nothing exciting. I slept most of the day, then made quite a bit of headway on Vice City.

I liked it! I thought I sent you a reply, but I guess not.
My only thing is that insanity doesn't really work like that. It's not something that switches on and off like an MRI. But since it's naruto, and a fanfiction... xD

nextguardian on September 30, 2011, 2:03:01 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianS'okay.

Sounds like a good day!

Depends on what kind of insantity. I think I kind of made Yuji a mix of scizophrenic (sp) and bi-polar. Neither one is techincally insanity, but it's easier to write. It was hard trying to figure out a way to make his biggest fault a strength. But I got a personal kick out of the shower scene, where Azami is blatantly watching and Yuji couldn't care less.

YunieXTidus on September 30, 2011, 2:04:00 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusschizophrenic. And yeah I suppose that makes sense. xD yeah.

nextguardian on September 30, 2011, 2:11:03 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIn the world of fanfiction, anyway! XD

Have you ever seen 'Game of Death'? It's one of Bruce Lee's.

YunieXTidus on September 30, 2011, 2:11:45 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI have not.

nextguardian on September 30, 2011, 2:20:50 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAh. See, the realy world Aza/Holmes fic is going to be based loosely off it. It's a concept I really liked. I tried it for 'Serving', but it didn't work as well as I'd hoped.

YunieXTidus on September 30, 2011, 2:21:31 PM

YunieXTidusSpeaking of, how's Data/Amy coming along? :DDDDDDD

nextguardian on September 30, 2011, 2:35:12 PM

nextguardianWell, but unfinished due to more math homework --'

YunieXTidus on September 30, 2011, 2:35:36 PM

*kills the maths*

nextguardian on September 30, 2011, 2:41:05 PM

nextguardianI know. Believe me, Amy/Data is MUCH more interesting. I wish Data was here. He could have solved all the stupid problems like nothing --'

YunieXTidus on September 30, 2011, 2:42:13 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHe would have solved them all in .13 nanoseconds!

I'm dying here! Give me something!!!

nextguardian on September 30, 2011, 2:49:24 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol. Okay, give me another couple minutes and I'll have something ready to share.

YunieXTidus on September 30, 2011, 2:50:10 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus:D

nextguardian on September 30, 2011, 3:01:40 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOkay, here we go. Please tell me if I've gotten Data's personality right.


To Data, life as a android was simple computations. Try as he might, he couldn’t quite factor in human emotions. He had the emotion chip in his quarters, but he was reluctant to try it. Installed prematurely, there was a good deal that could go wrong. Data had to get his processors prepped for such a thing. And that meant understanding emotions.

He again considered he most elusive. Love.

Was what I felt for Lieutenant Yar love? Rather, what I attempted to process as ‘feeling’. I do not know. Four years have passed and I still am not certain. Even Geordi and Commander Riker cannot ‘enlighten me’.

Perhaps another attempt? Data knew that some females found him physically desirable. And he was built to be anatomically correct. His positronic brain could react accordingly to some stimulation, though things such as crying and sweating could not be reproduced due to potential damaging effects on his circuits.

Sex was possible, as he’d learned with Tasha. The feelings that led to the encounter remained elusive, and Data’s records showed that females tended to dislike males who sought out their company only for the purpose of sex.

That is, unless that is their desire as well. But an encounter of that nature does not entail ‘feelings’. Only a physical longing.

Undeterred, Data entered a turbo-lift.
“Deck 10.”
--

Ten-Forward, the ship’s lounge, was a fascinating place for Data. He knew that most humans came here to unwind or socialize. Data was never wound up, so he could not ‘unwind’. But socializing was an important facet of human existence, so he made the effort to socialize, with mixed results.

Guinan moved toward Data, her motherly atmosphere project a calm intelligence and soothing haven outward toward those who could feel. Data could sense something different about her, but that could be related to the difference in species. Data had met many species, but only ‘one’ Guinan had been encountered.

Dressed today in flowing purple robes with a matching hat, Guinan put a drink in front of Data. He couldn’t drink it, but the gesture made him ‘feel’…
Ah.
Welcome.

“What are you pondering today, Data?”

Her rich voice greeted Data’s auditory subroutines. His response was nearly immediate.
“I have been thinking about love,” he said, completely unabashed and unembarrassed.

Guinan chuckled in her knowing way. “Tasha?”

Data raised his eyebrows. “No. An undetermined female companion. I wish to explore relationships again. Otherwise termed as ‘couples’. I was too early in my studies at humanity to comprehend what I felt for Lieutenant Yar. One encounter did not give me sufficient data to make observation.”

“You’re making it too scientific, Data. Let me ask you something: If what you felt for Tasha was love, did you plan it out? Did you put that positronic brain to work and seek out a mate consciously? Or did it just sort of happen.”

Ah, a lesson, Data realized. Guinan often spoke that way. The word ‘parables’ came up in his memory banks, but he passed on usage of it due to Biblical connotations associated with it. Humanoids, he found, tended to be unreceptive to religious discussion.

“Hello, Data. Guinan.”

Data knew the voice to be Ensign Amelia Collins, a medical officer. He nodded politely in reply.

Guinan looked at Data, an eyebrow raised. “Data? You weren’t very friendly to her.”

Data’s head cocked just a bit, as it did when he was processing information.
“I believe I was perfectly amiable, Guinan.”

“Better re-check those equations you’re doing, then. That girl has been dropping hints to you since she first saw you.”

“Dropping hints…ah, you mean ‘to lead to a potential conclusion using wordplay or physical means‘. To ‘hint, hint, wink wink’ with verbiage, to-”

Guinan stopped him there. “Data, if you want to learn about a relationship, now’s your chance. She’s sitting by the observation ports. Why not go ask if you can join her?”

YunieXTidus on September 30, 2011, 3:05:17 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThis is so absolutely perfect! I love you!!!! xD

I think you got Data spot-on, and the same for Guinan. Now I'm really dying to read this.

nextguardian on September 30, 2011, 3:17:56 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYay! Thank you!

I tried really hard to make sure I mimmicked their personalities. That was the hardest part, actually. Not so much Data, but Guinan. That sort of floatly, mystical, matronly air is hard to get into writing.

YunieXTidus on September 30, 2011, 3:20:48 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYou did a brilliant job.

Now, when did you say this would be done? Tomorrow?! :D

nextguardian on September 30, 2011, 3:25:37 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThank you ^^

How quickly I get it done is in direct proporation to how quickly my math homework is finished. But tomorrow night, likely late, is reasonable.

Well, excuse me. I've got to go for the night. I have to be up in a couple hours. If you aren't well yet, get well soon!

YunieXTidus on September 30, 2011, 3:34:23 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus:D That makes me super happy!

Good luck with whatever it is that has you up so early!

Me, I'm just hating job hunting. I just took one of those stupid question survery things that they make you take during an online application process. I was told that, due to my answers, I did not qualify for the job. Bullshoot! Before they even looked at my resume or qualifications! I'm absolutely livid at this point.
How about you? What's up tonight?

YunieXTidus on September 29, 2011, 2:31:18 PM

YunieXTidusWell, they probably want someone who's got a certain kind of personality with a certain set of interests that you don't fit the category for. Don't get discouraged!

Just relaxing. I love Thursday nights, 'cause I don't have school on Friday.

Also working on your RQ and maybe a bit of my Vice City one-shot.

nextguardianAh, f*** it, I'm beyond discouraged at this point. I'm downright furious! Dismiss me after you've met me and read my qualifications.

Nice! Good luck with those!

nextguardianI don't mind not getting the job. It's the process I don't like. They don't give you half a chance this way. I miss it when they used to hire in person.

nextguardian on September 29, 2011, 2:48:17 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianCon't from above 'after my qualifications' part.

I really hate these online processes. Partway through the stupid survey the first time the site went down for maintenance. --' Had to redo. Blagh.

YunieXTidus on September 29, 2011, 2:51:08 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm actually making some headway on your RQ! I'd been kind of stumped for a while (probably because of college and illness draining my creativity.) But I'm on a roll! I'll probably have it done within the next two hours, give or take, if you'll be around that long.

nextguardian on September 29, 2011, 2:54:11 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianSure, I'll be around. Looking forward to it :) I appreciate you doing the RQ!

YunieXTidus on September 29, 2011, 2:54:55 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIt's no trouble! I like this pairing, and I'm sorry I've been FOREVER in getting it to you. xD

nextguardian on September 29, 2011, 3:05:34 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI do, too ^^ And no rush! Sorry I'm in such a bad mood, btw. I normally don't spout this stuff.

YunieXTidus on September 29, 2011, 3:06:20 PM

YunieXTidus on September 29, 2011, 3:15:00 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusRofl. Poor hand!

(bandages and ices it for you)

Btw, would you be interested in a 2-3 sentence excerpt from your RQ? Nothing too spoilery, mind you.

nextguardian on September 29, 2011, 3:24:16 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, thank you. I did a number on one of my knuckles. Swelled up like a balloon --'

Absolutely! Yes!

YunieXTidus on September 29, 2011, 3:25:58 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOk, not 2-3 sentences (not that you should complain!) but the rest wouldn't make sense if I took it out of context. Here!


However, she still felt a faint tinge of worry. What if it’s not what he expected? Is he disappointed? Not that I’d know. He’d say ‘oh well’ and make the best of it. Oh god, what if he ends up picturing someone else, like Ino?! No, no, he wouldn’t do that. It wouldn’t even occur to him.

Her sudden vulnerability must have shown in her eyes, because he gently ran a hand up and down her arm, drinking in the sight of her alabaster skin lit only by the moonlight, bared just for him.

“You’re so beautiful,” he whispered in awe, as though he couldn’t quite believe that this wasn’t all a dream.

nextguardian on September 29, 2011, 3:33:42 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI cannot wait to read the rest of that! I'm hungry for more!

YunieXTidus on September 29, 2011, 3:37:22 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusSo you like it? :D

Also, I've shut it down for the night. My computer was overheating. I'll finish it tomorrow afternoon, promise! I'm on my phone now btw.

nextguardian on September 29, 2011, 3:43:01 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianVery much so!

That's okay. There's no rush. Do you want a preview of the 'real life' Holmes and Azami thing?

YunieXTidus on September 29, 2011, 4:11:15 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusSure, but I'd rather have a preview of Amy/Data!!!

nextguardian on September 29, 2011, 4:15:04 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat one is almost done. So close to being done that I'm going to make you wait a little longer and then just give you the whole thing.

YunieXTidus on September 28, 2011, 1:44:47 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusSo am I! x_X Being sick really sucks, especially when you HAVE to go to class.

What job did you apply for?

alchemest1 on September 28, 2011, 2:02:26 PM

alchemest1 on
alchemest1I agree. Being sick sucks. I am used to it. I have several Medical issues I deal with so I am used to it, but it still sucks. Anyway, Going to class. Ah. I wish i could. even if i was sick. I wanna go back.

Anyway, I am actually a medic, but sadly my state license expired and i don't have the money to reinstate it. So, I applied for a job at the local Zoo. I have always had a way with animals. Love them. Most of the time more than humans.

YunieXTidus on September 28, 2011, 2:19:46 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusUnderstandable. Humans suck a lot of the time.

alchemest1 on September 28, 2011, 2:51:19 PM

alchemest1 on
alchemest1Lol. they do indeed. Oh well. I'm hoping I get the job then i get to spend time with animals. lol

YunieXTidus on September 28, 2011, 11:55:58 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI think that would be an awesome job to have.

Sorry I missed you last night.

I hope you don't mind my asking, and feel free to tell me to shove it, but are you a guy or a girl?

alchemest1 on September 29, 2011, 1:55:03 PM

alchemest1 on
alchemest1No worries hun. I don't mind telling ya I'm a male. And yes, I'm that kind of male.

YunieXTidus on September 29, 2011, 2:22:55 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD I have no problem against 'that kind' of male! Two of my best friends are gay. I have a slash (fanfiction) fetish. Not sure what that tells you about me. xD

Anyway, how are you tonight?

alchemest1 on September 29, 2011, 2:26:58 PM

alchemest1 on
alchemest1Lol. Glad to hear there is no problem.(grins)Anyway, Nothing wrong with Slash (fanfiction)fetish. I am pretty good. Sitting back enjoying a cup of tea. Annoying day earlier. Got jumped for being at the "wrong kind of club". Oh well. I got a bruise to the kidneys. The guy that jumped me has a broken nose and I have a nice piece of his tooth embedded in my knuckle.*prob should pull that out, lol*

YunieXTidus on September 29, 2011, 2:29:33 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus:( Intolerant people piss me off. That really sucks, I'm sorry.

I actually did a really short ficlet on ff'net that's slash. Here's the link if you're interested. Anything you really need to know about the characters I basically explain.

I am who I am and the world can frack it if they don't like it. I have done things in my 23yrs that most couldn't say after a lifetime. I'm proud of my life. ANyway, Nice fic.

YunieXTidusWell, I'm actually an undecided English major so I think I'm highly qualified for the job.

Just send it to me when you decide you're ready to post it, and I'll do a quick scan-through, fixing grammatical errors and weird sentence structures and stuff. Of course, you'll want to give it a re-read-through to make sure you like the changes!

But yeah, I'd love to help.

YunieXTidus on September 26, 2011, 2:37:24 PM

YunieXTidusMy laptop is burning my lap! It's scorching. There's something wrong with the fan, I'm guessing. -_- I really don't have the money to replace it, much less the computer. xD

nextguardianYou might be able to get away with one of those cooling pads they sell for laptops. A cheaper alternative, anyway.

YunieXTidus on September 26, 2011, 2:42:22 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat's true. I had one of those, but it stopped working. That was about half a year ago. I guess it's time to get a new one. Sigh.

Anyway. How's the math coming?

(btw the drabbles are really short. One is less than 330 words, and the other is less than 1000.) Just in case you were worried about getting overly distracted.

nextguardian on September 26, 2011, 2:43:50 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI hear you there, believe me --'

It's kicking my @$$, to be frank. THere are supposed to be three possible answers to this question. I've got two, but that last freakin' answer is killing me!

That I could probably handle. I'm almost ready to give up math for the night anyway.

YunieXTidus on September 26, 2011, 2:53:00 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWhat sort of math are you doing? Is it regular college algebra? I might (probably not) be able to help you.

P.S. I think that's a fair call.

nextguardian on September 26, 2011, 2:55:39 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt's college algebra II. The problem is (one of them)

x^3+x^2=25x+25

Now, factoring that, you get:

x+5, x=-5

But there's a third answer in there somewhere. I can't find it.

It's driving me up the wall, I don't mind admitting. Math sucks.

YunieXTidus on September 26, 2011, 2:57:07 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusGimme a second to get some paper and a pencil.

nextguardian on September 26, 2011, 3:02:15 PM

nextguardianSure. I have the correct answers now. I just don't know where the third root comes from --'

YunieXTidus on September 26, 2011, 3:12:09 PM

YunieXTidusWhat formula are you using to solve it?

nextguardian on September 26, 2011, 3:12:49 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIn this case, the origina problem is:

x^3+x^2=25x+25

I then factored out an x^2 from the left side and a 25 from the right:

x^2(x+1)=25(x+1)

I then divided by x+1 on both sides, leaving:
x^2=25

I looked for the square root of both, which let to:

x=5
or
x=-5

YunieXTidus on September 26, 2011, 3:14:31 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat seems right... What says that there's a 3rd answer?

nextguardian on September 26, 2011, 3:22:49 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThe x^3 means it's a third degree equation, according to my professor and tutor. But I don't know where they're getting the third root (which turned out to be '1').

YunieXTidus on September 26, 2011, 3:24:06 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWeird. I'm just getting started on college algebra 1, so I wouldn't have been much help anyway. xD I'm checking out some of alchemest1's work. He's pretty good at painting a vivid picture for you.

nextguardianIt's no big deal. Get well soon!

Same old, same old. I've got a question for you- would you mind if I changed your RQ to an Amy/Data or an Amy/Wesley, or hell, Amy/Riker? Or Amy/Picard? Any favorites among those?

YunieXTidus on September 21, 2011, 1:12:21 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD Amy/Picard. Rofl. He's old enough to be her grandfather. Hmm... I'd be interested to see an Amy/Data. Can I request them all? Except Picard.

x_X I totally forgot about your request. Once I'll get better I'll beat myself over the head until it's done! I am a terrible friend.

nextguardian on September 21, 2011, 1:16:20 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHey, sure. It might take a while. But I think I can do an Amy/Data relatively quickly.

Hey, hey, no beating yourself up! It's no biggie.

Another question- is this too close to your scenario for Amy/O'Brien, when they get stuck on that planet? I've got Dax giving Holmes piloting lessons when the wormhole is assaulted through subspace. They investigate, and- well, I'll let you read it for yourself. I haven't added any detail yet. I focused on their conversation.

Even as he was saying this, Holmes had executed a perfect launch sequence. That was an interesting point, Dax though. As long as he was distracted, Holmes did fine. It was usually the opposite for most people. Being a scientist, Dax had to test her theory.

“Run any good programs lately?” she asked innocently, making some notes on her data padd.

Holmes shrugged, making the jump to full impulse seamlessly, his hands dancing over the controls.
“Nothing most people find interesting. Mostly I extrapolate data from interesting holonovels or textbooks and turn it into a training program. You know, like historical battles. Then I try to either match favorable results to map strategies, or in the case of bad results, to figure out where things went wrong.”

Dax smiled a bit. The kid was too serious.
“Don’t you ever run some…you know. ‘Adult’ programs? ‘Orion Slave Girl Harem’ or anything like that? Kurzon loved those…”

Holmes raised an eyebrow, moving the shuttle to warp two, setting a course away from Bajor.
“I’ve thought about it. For practice, you understand,” he interrupted himself, smirking a bit.

Dax nodded indulgently. She’d been a man herself once; she knew how it went.

“Is there any merit to that, do you think?” Dan asked idly, piloting without a second thought. “I mean, maybe I would learn to talk to girls that way?”

“Mmm. Pretty distracting when they’re in bikinis or less, each begging you to buy their freedom so they can serve you…A different program, maybe. Or…”

Dax leaned in close, as if whispering a jealously guarded secret.
“Or you could just ask a girl to a holosuite.”

Holmes turned an interesting shade of pink, momentarily forgetting what he was doing. This was it! He was going to ask Dax out! Right now.

Dax pointed at the view screen and shouted “Asteroid!”

Stifling a curse, Holmes navigated them away quickly, using a pretty nice bit of trick piloting to dodge the asteroid and get out of the cluster he had wandered in to.

Too much distraction isn’t good. I’ll have to be more careful, Dax noted, muttering reassuring words to Holmes, accepting partial blame for the situation But who knew? He’s actually a natural at this once you settle him down.

Back on Deep Space Nine, Commander Sisko was studying the latest reports from Starfleet Command in his office. On a slow day, Deep Space Nine ran itself. Outside of him needing to authorize funds and personnel, and occasionally direct them personally, Sisko could make a lot of plans. Mostly, he focused on Bajor. Both as their Emissary to the Prophets and as part of his duty as a Starfleet Commander, he wanted to see the planet join the Federation. Bajor didn’t have a lot to offer at the moment, but given their rich history and their resilience, he had high hopes for them. And the Federation could do much to aid their rebirth.

At the epicenter of his hope for Bajor was the wormhole. It was already bringing new races to Bajor, along with much needed commerce. With the Federation’s presence above it, the planet was safe from most other alien races that might prove hostile.

The red alert klaxon interrupted this line of peaceful thought. Sisko rose to his feet and strode purposefully out of his office.

“Report!” he called from the top of the small staircase that raised his office above the rest of Ops.

“Sir, something is damaging the wormhole! Some sort of subspace fluctuation!” Kira called, tapping furiously at her console. Being the Bajoran Liaison to the Federation, she had the unique standpoint of being part of both organizations. That changed her view on some things, but not on her home’s prosperity. If the wormhole fell…

“Contact Dax and Holmes. Have them head to the wormhole and begin an investigation.”
--

En route to the wormhole, Dax kept Dan talking. His piloting was great, and she was even getting a good conversation out of the elusive ensign. It seemed like he just needed an excuse to talk to her.

Ever since that incident, when we put the Trill in Holmes to say it…I wonder just how much of what he said as ‘Dan D’Gar’ was ‘Dan’? It’s not like him to blatantly hit on a girl like that…but at the same time, at that point the had the Trill more or less in sync with him…

“Approaching the wormhole,” Holmes called out. “Slowing to ¼ impulse power.”

Dax tapped at her console. “Adjusting course trajectory.”

Holmes glanced at the sensors, noting when the craft was in position. “Full stop…now.”

Dan sat back in his chair, exhaling heavily. It was only now that Dax noticed the sweat on his brow. She had to stifle a laugh at his expense. Instead, she chose to pat him reassuringly on the shoulder.

“You did well, Daniel. You can do this.”

Holmes gave a tired nod and smile. “Thanks. I really couldn’t have done it without you. In fact, I’d like to-”

Whatever it was he would have liked to do was put on hold as their runabout was rocked.

“No damage to hull. Looks like it was a warning shot…” Holmes noted. “Recommend we raise shields.”

Dax absently nodded, engrossed in the scientific readings. Her brows knitted together as she glared at the equipment.
“A subspace fracture…there’s a strong gravitational pull. That’s what’s ‘attacking’ the wormhole.”

Holmes looked over the data, transmitting a subspace message to Deep Space Nine with the data they’d collected so far.
“So we should seal the fracture…”

“Eventually. We should scan it, first. If this is an attack with malice by someone across space and time, we need to know the origin to stop it from happening again.”
Checking the data one more time, Dax decided to use a magneton scan. It was the most thorough scan available to them.

“Speaking tactically, we should keep the station apprised of our results. In case whatever it is turns out to be hostile,” Holmes intoned. Dax agreed, and Holmes continuously streamed their data to Deep Space Nine.

A sharp series of chirps alerted Dax and Holmes to the fact that something was wrong.

“The gravitational pull is getting stronger. The scan must have disrupted whatever is causing this somehow! We’ve got to get out of here or we’ll be sucked in!”

Holmes immediately got into the pilot’s seat.
“Engaging impulse engines. Full impulse…now.”

Dax shook her head. “No effect. And we can’t go to warp this close the wormhole…”

“Bypassing security overrides…and we’re at 110 percent of maximum recommended output.”

Dax shook her head again. “We’re still being pulled in.”

“115...120...125 percent of maximum. Any more and we’ll rip ourselves apart.”

“Transmit an SOS the station and launch a tracking buoy with a warning message, continuous broadcast, all frequencies. And then grab on to something. We’re going in!”

The anamoly was now visible, breaking the rules of space/time. It looked literally like a crack in the universe. A blank slit which shown against the star-strewn sky.

“Routing auxiliary and emergency power to life support, shields, deflector, and structural integrity. Inertial dampers still operating.”

Dan didn’t need to add ‘so far’.

YunieXTidus on September 21, 2011, 1:24:06 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI really like this! No, I don't think it'll be too similar to my Amy/O'Brien situation. I was thinking they'd land without trouble, but the 'religious' side of the war they're in the middle of threw up some sort of defense net to prevent the other side from trying to get out into space. I haven't mapped it out in detail, but I was thinking something like that.

So this works. love it!

And no rush on doing all of them! xD One every now and then is more than enough to keep me happy. Just don't do an Amy/Picard. I cringe at the thought. I mean, he's good looking, for his age, but there are some lines even I don't cross. xD

nextguardian on September 21, 2011, 1:32:15 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, okay. I didn't want to be stepping on your toes here. I originally planned to have Dax and Holmes wind up in the Delta Quadrant, meet up with Voyager and then...well, the ending will be the same, so I'm not going to give you a spoiler. I scrapped that because I found a better place for them to go... :) I'll give you a hint- it's along the line of their conversation earlier. The closest thing to a current day holodeck program for adult pleasure (not quite like it sounds, actually. lol).

I'm having a good time making the science apply. I had no idea what the hell a magneton scan was until I looked it up. From there, the storyline began to make more sense.

Cool. Okay, I can do that. Data will probably be up first, then. He's the most fascinating of that group.

YunieXTidus on September 21, 2011, 1:34:51 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD Nice. Using words you don't know, and THEN looking them up. ;) Nope, no toe-stepping.

Yes, he is. I love his view of the universe, and love to be more specific. I'll be interested to see how you portray him. Will this be before or after his emotion chip? Or maybe it could be overlapping? Like, he has to keep it out for whatever reason, and then later on he gets to use it again. I mean, no need to listen to me I'm just thinking aloud, as it were. xD

nextguardian on September 21, 2011, 1:42:08 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, it worked out, though! I would have changed it if it didn't. And I'm glad there's no toe-stepping- I'm having fun with this storyline!

He's as innocent as a child sometimes, and probably the most unintentionally funny ST character ever.
Lol, that's a good question. I think it'd be more interesting without the emotion chip, at least at first. It all depends on how inspired I am XD

YunieXTidus on September 21, 2011, 1:43:02 PM

YunieXTidus on September 21, 2011, 1:50:20 PM

nextguardian on September 21, 2011, 1:54:57 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI don't even know what is annoying about her in particular. Like, I can pick out stuff I don't like about all the others. In her case...I don't know. I think it's because she always seems condescending to a lot of people, and just downright nasty to O'Brien at times.

YunieXTidus on September 21, 2011, 1:55:34 PM

YunieXTidus on September 19, 2011, 1:02:40 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIt's true! I took an algebra test today and I'm totally dead in the creative department. Except for the one DW thing. xD But that was only a page long, so that doesn't even really count. Besides, I took it BEFORE the test, so it double doesn't count. I'm definitely babbling. Math has fried my brain.

nextguardianYou'll hate me for liking it, but it's the last one before Wesley goes to Starfleet Academy. He's stranded on that moon with Picard and that idiot shuttle captain.

YunieXTidus on September 19, 2011, 1:15:32 PM

nextguardianHe finally grew a pair. I still hate him, but I think Beverely is now worse than he is. He's a kid, so he has an excuse. She's just a jerk.
Riker grew on me, though. Once they pulled the stick out of his @$$ and he relaxed a bit, he got better.
Just saw Micheal Dorn on 'Castle'. Man, he looks/sounds different!

YunieXTidus on September 19, 2011, 1:26:13 PM

I haven't gotten much done, and there's no man on man action yet, so don't worry. xD But I just want to know if you think I'm portraying the characters properly.

nextguardian on September 18, 2011, 1:19:05 PM

nextguardianHey, sure, I'll take a read through.
How do you like the Kindle? I've got a Sony EReader, myself. My only complaint is that it isn't backlit.

Rosenburg, Rosenburg...ah, that bonkers ambulance chaser! He could defend an innocent man all the way to death row!

YunieXTidus on September 18, 2011, 1:23:26 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIt's pretty simple. You go to the book you want on amazon (kindle edition) click purchase, and it automatically sends it to your kindle through a wireless thing called "whispernet." The kindle also does internet and games, although the games are stupid.

I like the kindle cause it looks just like a real book. Not backlit though. lol.

xD The british guy. Loved him.

nextguardian on September 18, 2011, 1:33:00 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianSame thing with the EReader, more or less. I picked it because it looks like a data padd from Star Trek, if I'm honest.

He was hilarious!

YunieXTidus on September 18, 2011, 1:35:12 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol nerrrrrrrrrd.

Even though the guy who wrote his script knows little to nothing about british dialogue. He wouldn't have referred to the "slut" as "mate."

"I've been looking for a bird like you for ages, mate."

"Don't you worry about a thing, mate."

Guys who are attracted to a woman don't refer to her as mate. Mate is used to refer to men, by men.

nextguardian on September 18, 2011, 1:39:23 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYep, and damned proud!

Thankfully, they knew something about comedy and/or toilet humor!

'mate' always struck me as a more Australian term, for some reason.

Love what you sent me! You've got their personalities down. Ken shrinking away from Tommy is perfect.

YunieXTidus on September 18, 2011, 1:44:19 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNo reason not to be!

xD That they did.

Yeah, I can understand that. But in the area that the british guy's voice actor apparently comes from, they use mate a lot.

I'm glad to hear that. Now my problem is finding a problem that would be so urgent that Ken had to call Tommy out. You got any ideas?

nextguardian on September 18, 2011, 1:47:11 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianDarn right! I'll wear my Spock ears with pride! XD

Ah, cool. Makes sense, then. Well, up until calling a girl that apparently :D

Geez, it's been a while since I played the story...If you need a generic problem, maybe have Tommy framed for some crime he didn't commit? Or (though it wouldn't be cannon) maybe Cortez decides he doesn't like the tought of Tommy and Mercedes together, so he puts a hit on Tommy?

YunieXTidus on September 18, 2011, 1:49:01 PM

YunieXTidusI'm trying to stick more canon. I was thinking something that required Tommy to go out and kill people, or something. xD I'm using you as my idea vending machine.

nextguardianOkay, let me see...How about this: Ken is freaking out because Tommy is being blackmailed by someone. So Tommy has to go and 'pay the man' (kill, in other words), and he think about the drug issue from the beginning, gets distracted, and gets shot himself, though he kills the other guy, too.

YunieXTidus on September 18, 2011, 2:00:21 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat's not bad, and it opens up the door for some Ken and Tommy bonding time.

nextguardian on September 18, 2011, 2:05:06 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI could see a touching hospital scene thing happening. Like you said, they have to be together. Usually, Tommy doesn't stick around Ken long, so this forces the issue a bit.

YunieXTidus on September 18, 2011, 2:09:03 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHmm. That actually gives me a heading! I knew I was friends with you for a reason.

Anyway, how's your stories coming?

nextguardian on September 18, 2011, 2:11:32 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYay! I have a friend! Bonus points because you're female! lol.

Still stymied, for the most part. Did I ever share the second chapter of my Voyager story with you? If I did, I've since added more, if you're curious about it.

YunieXTidus on September 18, 2011, 2:13:33 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD Take points away 'cause we've never met, though.

You shared part of it, but I'd love to read more!

nextguardian on September 18, 2011, 2:18:29 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOkay, fair enough XD

Cool. I'll send that in a few mins. At the end of yet one more assignment that I freakin' bombed on the first time around.

I may also be updating 'serving' tonight. Hopefully, anyway.

YunieXTidus on September 18, 2011, 2:19:58 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm not sure I'll be around long enough to read 'serving.' I'm fading fast, even though I want to write and read at the same time!

nextguardian on September 18, 2011, 2:32:24 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat's okay. I'm not sure I'll update anyway. I did, however, send you Voyager. So if you're awake for that, I anxiously await your feedback! If not, it can wait :)

YunieXTidus on September 18, 2011, 2:33:04 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD Your opening line. You shouldn't have said that....

nextguardian on September 18, 2011, 2:40:20 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI figured it was going to happen XD I mean, you picked up TommyXKen, for God's sake! Two good looking guys like Tom and Dan, or two buddies like Kim and Dan...I figured it would occur to you eventually.
Hopefully you'll like the rest of it, too XD

YunieXTidus on September 18, 2011, 2:42:01 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol it wouldn't naturally occur to me, since Dan is an extension of you, and I wouldn't want to offend you. But you practically gift-wrapped the offer!

And in my defense, once you read the finished version of my ken/tommy fic, you won't be so hasty to deem it a crack pairing!

nextguardian on September 18, 2011, 2:47:41 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, I don't care if you write it, but don't share it online! lol, I don't want anyone thinking Dan has other teamly tendencies. I appreciate the respect towards him/me, big time! I just found it hilarious, for some reason.

I don't think it's a crack pairing, honestly. I can see where it would happen now that you've mentioned it. I just doubt most people would make the connection. At least, most males wouldn't.

YunieXTidus on September 18, 2011, 2:50:21 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD I could see BOTH of those pairings working out, although Dan/Kim would me so much more awkward cause Kim's such a sweetheart. xD Do you mind if I share it with you when I'm done, if I do decide to write such a fic?

You mean, most heterosexual males wouldn't. Gay men think just like me!

nextguardian on September 18, 2011, 2:54:45 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, sure. I'm sort of curious in a backwards way.
Not ever happening in real life, though. Ever.

lol, fair enough. I wouldn't know anything about that, so I'll take your word for it.

As for the rest of it, what do you think? I realize I haven't gotten to the 'point' of the episode yet, which comes soon.

YunieXTidus on September 18, 2011, 2:56:31 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOf course I love it! Also, I replied to the email directly.

So that isn't the finished chapter? (I'm posting the 'episodes' in 2 chapter bits.)

YunieXTidusRofl those are the only 2 I've ever played! Im playing vice city right now. My game is glitching atm. Tommy is going for a run on the beach and I can't control him. XD

nextguardian on September 16, 2011, 1:24:24 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol. I love Vice City. I never finished it. I get too caught up in just rampaging freely.

Sorry I wasn't around last night, btw. I had to work until late, and I wound up getting home and going to bed because I was bushed.

YunieXTidus on September 16, 2011, 1:28:51 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI love the story. And the cars. Rampaging is awesomely fun. But seriously I can't control tommy!
XD he's running over the people laying out on the beach.
Hey it's okay, I ended up talking to my friend app night.

nextguardian on September 16, 2011, 1:55:51 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, sounds like a good time anyway!
Sorry for the delay between responses; I'm babysitting my evil dog again. She cries non-stop if I leave for too long. It's cute, but I'd love to sit down and relax for a while, too.

What's up besides GTA tonight?

YunieXTidus on September 16, 2011, 2:21:50 PM

YunieXTidusThat's really it. Hbu?

nextguardian on September 16, 2011, 2:30:26 PM

YunieXTidus on September 16, 2011, 2:56:04 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusGive her some sedative!

nextguardian on September 16, 2011, 2:56:56 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol. She's content for the moment. I played with her a bit and let her out, so she's finally settling down for a little while.

YunieXTidus on September 16, 2011, 3:02:21 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWhat sort of dog is she?

nextguardian on September 16, 2011, 3:15:40 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianShe is a (very evil) mix of Boston Terrier and Beagle. Otherwise known (no joke) as a 'Boggle'. I named her Black Hayate, after the Full Metal Alchemist character. That's why I picked her, in fact. I don't know if you're a fan of FMA or not. lol, that was my first co-op fic with a friend of mine. HolmesXHawkeye forever!

YunieXTidus on September 16, 2011, 3:18:20 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusBahahahaha.

D'awwh! I looked up "boggle puppy." Cuute!

nextguardian on September 16, 2011, 3:49:14 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThey are cute. Very energetic, too. But they take either an instant like or dislike to someone, and nothing changes their opinion. My little one hates hats, for example, and so she hates everyone who has ever worn a hat in my house save for me.

YunieXTidus on September 16, 2011, 3:56:42 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD I'll remember not to wear a hat around her! xD

So now that she's settled, what's up?

nextguardian on September 16, 2011, 4:17:26 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, good idea.

Oh, she's still not totally settled. Not much up anyway. Didn't sleep much, so I'm just kind of taking it easy. How about you?

YunieXTidus on September 16, 2011, 4:18:11 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNot much. Got some one-shot ideas running around, but I'm afraid to try to put them down yet. xD

nextguardian on September 16, 2011, 4:23:08 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI just can't seem to shake myself out of my creative slump. Julian/Amy is about the only thing seeing a little progress. Not as much as I'd hoped, though --'

YunieXTidus on September 16, 2011, 4:51:39 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI totally understand.

nextguardian on September 16, 2011, 4:54:49 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThanks for understanding. I'd still like to finish that fic up, though. I've got a good handle on a bunch of ST storylines for the future, but I cna't quite wrap my head around the stuff I really should be working on.

YunieXTidus on September 16, 2011, 4:56:31 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIt happens to the best of us. I advise taking a break from any writing, watch a few tv shows/listen to music/read books that have been known to inspire you in the past, and then after a couple days try again. Also, adequate sleep helps!

nextguardian on September 16, 2011, 4:58:25 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianGood points, on all counts. I'd imagine once I get back into the rythym of doing work, school, and managing free time I'll be back on course. It's always a little jarring my first few days back at work.

YunieXTidus on September 16, 2011, 5:11:22 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAlso understandable. xD

You're going to laugh at me, but I'm thinking about doing a semi-one-shot pairing of Tommy and Ken from Vice City. I know that doesn't float your boat but I think there's a lot to work with there. xD

nextguardian on September 16, 2011, 5:13:38 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianGot to say, that isn't one I think of off the top of my head. But I can see it making sense, in it's own way.

On a side note, I've got the actual shirt Tommy wears initially. And the one that Bruce Cambell wears on Burn Notice, for that matter.

nextguardian on September 16, 2011, 5:19:01 PM

Cool. I'll be sending it shortly. I'm running back and forth between my computer and babysitting my puppy. Next time I can put her out to go to the bathroom I'll send it.

This one : http://www.fanart-central.net/story-59102.html

It sort of goes with our co-op, but not completely. In case you needed more character reference for DS9 Holmes. If not, no biggie. Just wanted to let you know permission granted :)

YunieXTidus on September 13, 2011, 1:33:09 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD Oh god, not the puppy eyes!

xD Why don't you put her in your lap while you're at the computer?

If I didn't know better, I'd say you were excited about this ff'net thing...

nextguardian on September 13, 2011, 1:37:13 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, that's right! I'll break 'em out if I sense the slightest bit of anger!

She bites. Literally. And she wiggles. And she got to be, like, fifty pounds. She was supposed to be only half that.

Well, a little, yeah. More comments and all. I'm curious as to what other people think. But in this case, my intentions were pure. This fic is a better look at Holmes' DS9 character.

YunieXTidus on September 13, 2011, 1:38:46 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAnd I'll poke them out.

Aw but puppy biting is adorable!

True enough. Self-sacrificing nimrod. ;p

nextguardian on September 13, 2011, 1:48:08 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'll block you, and then quadruple puppy eye you!

It is...until that extends to stuff like computers and keyboards. Replacing gets old, and if she bites the wrong thing and gets zapped...

You mean heroic self-sacrificing nimrod!

YunieXTidus on September 13, 2011, 1:50:12 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYou can't block me. I'm a distant cousin of Chuck Norris.

xD Oh, I thought you meant she bit YOU. Rofl poor puppy barbeque. That's awful, I shouldn't laugh. I just see this cartoon of Donald Duck getting 'zapped' by lightnning. xD

nextguardian on September 13, 2011, 1:53:24 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm descended from Bruce Lee.

Oh, she does. But she also bites everything else she can reach. And lol, no, it's funnny! Totally understandable, laughing at that. As long as it didn't really happen. And even then, maybe after a while it might be funny. One of those 'too soon?' things, I think.

YunieXTidus on September 13, 2011, 1:54:11 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusChuck Norris tops all.

No, it would never be funny! Any sort of animal injury is never funny! You're a horrible person for saying that.

nextguardian on September 13, 2011, 2:01:35 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBruce Lee beat Chuck in the movies.

Don't misunderstand me- the CONCEPT is funny. Not it actually happening. That would suck, and I would feel guilty the rest of my life. But the concept itself is pretty humorous, if you imagine it cartoon-like.

YunieXTidus on September 13, 2011, 2:56:51 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusRofl. Should we change it, or... no this could play off! We could have a scene where Amy's like, "I'm Ensign Collins."

Dan's like, "good for you," before he remembers the voyager thing and he's like, "you wouldn't possibly be the daughter of Admiral Collins would you? THE Admiral Collins?"

(groan, walk away) "Great, another admirer."

"That's fantastic!"

I've seen that much, yes. I haven't watched it in any order. Lots of episodes, but I couldn't tell you what seasons they're from.

YunieXTidus on September 12, 2011, 4:19:39 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus(begins to wobble on her feet) Still not opening them!!

Here, read this, if you will. It's what I've got so far for my Gilroy/Michael smut pairing. No smut as of yet. Also, I did get a bit more done on your rq!


Michael knew getting into bed with Gilroy was a bad idea from the first glance inside the overly-expensive restaurant. One thing he didn’t know- how dead-on the idiom actually was. He’d known because of their brief phone conversations that Gilroy was a British gentleman, which had immediately intrigued him. Mike was a sucker for foreign accents; ironic, as it was one of his fortes. What he hadn’t prepared himself for was how disastrously good-looking the psychopath was who raised his martini and tipped his head Michael’s way.

The gently-gelled golden hair, the piercing cerulean blue eyes, perfectly straight white teeth, and even the outrageously expensive suit the man was wearing spelled Michael’s downfall, if he was honest with himself. Michael was still grappling with his perverse attraction to this sociopath when he was introduced to Claude, their unexpected (at least to Michael) plus one for lunch. Shock and recognition washed through him simultaneously at the same instant he read the same emotions in the taller man’s eyes. Claude, with his thick accent that hinted at Australian origins, was a several time sexual conquest of Michael’s. Needless to say, it hadn’t ended well.
“So this is your local boy,” Claude sneered, giving Michael a hostile once-over before sitting down at the table.

“Actually, Michael’s not sure he can stay for lunch,” Gilroy replied in his well-to-do British cadence, fixing Michael with a knowing smirk as he turned around. “Decision time.”

At the challenge in Claude’s eyes, and the all-too-knowing look in Gilroy’s, Michael really had no choice but to sit back down. He’d think of a way out of this ‘teamwork’ somehow, later. Gilroy ordered the wine, almost enjoying the spark of hostility and tension between the two other men. Down to business, then.

nextguardian on September 12, 2011, 4:29:42 PM

nextguardian(Still staring)

Very nice, as always. Love that last paragraph. Perfect for Gilroy imho.

YunieXTidus on September 12, 2011, 4:33:36 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus(falls forward, knocking foreheads with you) What did you do that for?!

It was the way he smiled at Michael while he was deciding. He definitely was enjoying it, and there definitely was hostility/tension between Claude and Mike. Even IF this fic isn't necessarily canonical. It so should be though.

nextguardian on September 12, 2011, 4:38:56 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardian(Still staring around a dull pain) So you won't be mad...

It goes with his character, so you'll get no complaints from me.

YunieXTidus on September 12, 2011, 4:40:41 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus(puts her hands over your eyes) There, much better!

I love Gilroy. xD He's so psychotic, but sensual at the same time. In one scene, he's clearly admiring Mike's @$$ as he gets out of the hot tub.

nextguardian on September 12, 2011, 4:45:36 PM

YunieXTidus on September 12, 2011, 4:53:01 PM

YunieXTidus(closes your eyes with her fingers) You most certainly are NOT.

It just adds an edge to his character. I actually cried when he died. xD He was that awesome. (sorry if i gave away spoilers)

nextguardian on September 12, 2011, 4:54:54 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm staring in my mind...

It does. Those types of characters are fun and interesting. Like Reg Barclay on Star Trek. Granted, he's kind of the other sort of insane, but still cool.

Have you ever seen any of the Death Wish movies?

YunieXTidus on September 12, 2011, 4:57:15 PM

nextguardianSee? You're mad again! (Puppy eyes) As for the 'something part', that was typo --' Sorry about that. I was working on a fic, and I was writing a sentence similar to that one, except talking about an object, and...yeah. Sorry about that --'

True enough XD

My next reply will be delayed, just so you know.

nextguardianNot too bad. Headache is gone. Had a major anxiety attack last night, but that actually helped because now I know where I'm going with the Amy/Julian fic. In her own way, Amy helped with my anxiety attack. Sweet girl...'till you meet her XD

So, what's up tonight?

YunieXTidus on September 12, 2011, 12:20:44 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm mildly offended by that!

Just chilling out l. I finished my paper and now I'm thinking about working on some fanfiction.

nextguardian on September 12, 2011, 12:24:00 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardian;) Sorry, couldn't help but throw a little jab in.

Everything go well with the paper? I'd love to read the final version, if you are so inclined to share it. As you saw, I've got a personal fascination with this topic. If not, that's cool too, of course!
Now, on to more important things, right? :)

YunieXTidus on September 12, 2011, 12:42:38 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus;P Poor Amy. Her wit and cynicism are so under-appreciated.

It's not technically the "final version," because the one I was working on last night was a rough draft believe it or not. xD But I sent you my rough draft, and when I edit/re-edit, etc, I'll send you the final version, too.

Of course! Like fanfiction! Gotta get your request done! I've been neglecting my duties as an FAC member. And as your friend! :O How horrible of me.

nextguardian on September 12, 2011, 12:55:54 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, probably right. Haha, poor girl.

Hey, quick question- what would you think about a modern day Holmes/Azami story? Yes, Holmes, not a typo.

Cool, I'll give it a read-through in a minute. Still working on math --'

Take your time. I've been taking my time with your RQ, sadly. I don't want to give you a sub-standard product! I can't wait to see how people react to Holmes on FF.

YunieXTidus on September 12, 2011, 1:08:48 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusPoor Amy. Only gets love from Julian. Not that she'd complain. Love from Julian is spectacular.

That would be... interesting. Do it!

Sure. Oh, that reminded me to post chapter 2- your pilot. Speaking of, can I have that fic of Dan in the Delta quadrant with voyager? I need it as a background piece on him. I'm gonna post it as a second story.

nextguardian on September 12, 2011, 1:11:27 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'll take your word for it ;)

Okay, cool, I'll do that.

Sure thing. I'm going to join ff for the sole reason of commenting on your stuff, I think. I'll email you the chapter when I finish my math. Almost done...I think --'

YunieXTidus on September 12, 2011, 1:13:02 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThere are hundreds of steamy fanfics to prove it!

Lol. Comments are love, so I do appreciate it! xD Just don't comment on YOUR chapters. That would be just too much. lol. Good luck with the math.

nextguardian on September 12, 2011, 1:17:39 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, really? Geez!

I've got to comment on my chapters! That would be hilarious!

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, I actually haven't looked yet, but it's pretty much a guarantee.

Lmao xD Flame your own stuff. Awesome. Actually, do it! That would be awesome.

nextguardian on September 12, 2011, 1:29:56 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'd agree, actually. Though how Kira always gets the 'sexy' roles on DS9. Nana Visitor is adorable, don't get me wrong, but with Terry Farell right there...

That would be hilarious XD Link me when you've got it up ;) If you could credit me as 'Drawingblade', that would be great.

YunieXTidus on September 12, 2011, 1:32:46 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, it's the round-dark-eyed pixie look she's got. Terry is sort of the asexual hottie in DS9. She never gets with ANYONE. You know, until the alpha male of the universe comes along. *derisive snort*

Cool, thanks! I made my account. I'm about to comment XD Man, I should have edited that chapter more heavily --'

YunieXTidus on September 12, 2011, 1:44:02 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh, chill out. It was fine when I read it, so I'm sure the other readers will be fine with it too. :P

nextguardianlol, still! I fixed the obvious mistakes, but I missed quite a bit. Blah. Oh well. Hopefully it'll go over well. I just commented. I noted that I gave you permission to use the story, just in case it comes up.

YunieXTidus on September 12, 2011, 1:53:23 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI know. I just got like, 8 emails from ff'net, all about you. xD

nextguardian on September 12, 2011, 2:01:51 PM

nextguardianoh, really? Cool! Anything good, or just 'did he give permission?' stuff?

nextguardianOh, right. I forgot about that, since I never turn on the email alerts.
Oh, you might have to change your description of my chapter, since I did wind up making an account. I don't want to make a liar out of you XD

YunieXTidusxD Can you do it for me? ;p

nextguardian on September 11, 2011, 12:53:46 PM

nextguardianOnly if you like failing. You've seen my grammar. Besides, you'd have to do my algebra for me. Not a good trade for you imho. Much as I'd love to trade, believe me!

YunieXTidus on September 11, 2011, 1:00:29 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD Well I can fix grammar. I just don't want to DO it. ANd no I think I'll pass on THAT particular trade.

I could always bribe you with sex, however. That seems to be a powerful motivator.

nextguardian on September 11, 2011, 1:10:42 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, I don't blame you, on both counts.

You could try, but I doubt I would be much up to the task with math on the brain. That's a big turn-off for me.

YunieXTidus on September 11, 2011, 1:13:29 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh, I'm sure you'd be up for it eventually. All I need to do is distract you. And you seem pretty low-maintainance. (not a bad thing)

nextguardian on September 11, 2011, 1:18:23 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, probably. You're probably right. And yeah, it doesn't take much to please me ^^ What would please me right now is for every f***ing number in the universe to equate itself off the nearest cliff.

YunieXTidus on September 11, 2011, 1:58:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLmao you and every other non-math major in the galaxy.

nextguardian on September 11, 2011, 2:02:30 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, probably so.

Worse yet, I'm taking this stupid thing online. So there are prerequisetes set up for each part of the course. Meaning if I screw up once and score less than a 90 on a homework or less than a 75 on a quiz, I'm completely screwed for that entire section. --' As if the stupid course wasn't hard enough, they throw this crap in now! Gahhh!

YunieXTidus on September 11, 2011, 2:03:41 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWhy didn't you take it as a real class? You should always take 'real' classes for the subjects you're worst at, so the teacher's always there to help.

Do your best subjects online, so it'll be a sinch.

nextguardian on September 11, 2011, 2:09:58 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI've tried. The professors aren't real understanding when it comes to my anxiety. They usually force me to withdraw from the class due to an attendance policy issue. See, the way my anxiety works, if I have an anxiety attack, I need to leave. Quickly. And I may not be able to come back. Or I may need to be late for one class or another. This falls under the Office for Students with Disabilities jurisdiction, and the office is a joke. They can't make exceptions unless I have a glaring, obvious physical disability. We've sparred over this several times, just shy of me brining in a lawyer.

Anyway, long story short, 'real' college doesn't suit me well --' Which sucks, because it means no parties and getting laid. Oh, and there's situation like this, too, I guess! XD

YunieXTidus on September 11, 2011, 2:17:24 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYou should definitely file a lawsuit. You can't help your anxiety attacks, and how you have to deal with them is how you have to deal with them. They shouldn't be able to deny you coverage through Disabilities. That's stupid.

nextguardian on September 11, 2011, 2:19:23 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYou would think. I keep hearing lines about 'well, we've got a committee meeting on it'. I finally called them on it and said 'Hey, how about letting me speak at one of these things? What better than a walking, talking, real person who deals with this'. Kind of like 'Oh...we'll get back to you'.

I'm just debating whether or not the lawyer's fee would be worth it or not at this point. I'm tempted, though, believe me.

YunieXTidus on September 11, 2011, 2:20:29 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell it's definitely worth it if it can improve your college experience. You can always try to get a pro bono lawyer.

Also, can I have your help real quick? It's nothing too strenuous, I just need a couple of ideas. (for my paper)

nextguardian on September 11, 2011, 2:27:21 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianFair point, on both counts.

Sure ^^ How can I help?

YunieXTidus on September 11, 2011, 2:39:37 PM

YunieXTidusCheck your email. ^^

nextguardian on September 11, 2011, 2:46:42 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianLet's see...it all looks good. Maybe for II B you could mention something about how downloading illegally interferes with an artist's right to a living. It takes legitimately earnable money out of the pocket of the rightful receiver.
If you need a specific incident that is similar in nature, you can point to Sega's last game console (the Dreamcast). In a nutshell, there are more pirated copies of Dreamcast games than legitimate ones, and that caused a company under financial stress to lose a lot more money, which directly affects the video game market, and to a lesser extent, the economy.

nextguardian on September 11, 2011, 2:47:42 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAnd, morally speaking, put yourself in the artist in question's shoes. Losing money that you earned legally? Since ancient times, one of the sure ways to piss off your fellow man is to impede his right and ability to make a living.

YunieXTidus on September 11, 2011, 2:49:17 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol leave it to me to accidentally pick the business major for this. xD You're perfect for this!

nextguardian on September 11, 2011, 2:53:45 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, thanks! Been there, done that, wrote a paper on it at some point (Don't still have it, though). If you need a title for this section, you could always call it something like 'Financial Impact'.

YunieXTidus on September 11, 2011, 2:55:25 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI titled it this: To Pay or Not to Pay: The Dilemma

Too much?

nextguardian on September 11, 2011, 3:02:25 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNot at all; I think it suits it nicely.

YunieXTidus on September 11, 2011, 3:03:04 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusGreat! Anyway. What's up tonight?

nextguardian on September 11, 2011, 3:07:32 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, one last idea- if you're desperate for filler, you could probably even note things like Amazon.com contributing to the downfall of Borders. Both legal, but the easy access of the online world makes trips to the bookstore unnecessary. Or perhaps a better comparison for your case would be redbox and netflix ousting Blockbuster. Though if you ask me, they had it coming, the thieves! $19 dollars for a three day rental is absurd!

(ahem)

Not much up atm. Can't think clearly after studying. Still tossing around better ways to make Amy/Julian go better. Any ideas? Anything you'd like to see?

YunieXTidus on September 11, 2011, 3:17:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYou could show me what you have, and i could give you ideas on where to go from there, if you like.

Hey, cool! I'm sure they'll love it on FF! And I'm always ready to read your fic when you're done!
As for me, I was doing math homework before. Now I'm relaxing before I study for Japanese. I'm taking the N5 level of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test in December, hopefully! Then I can put it as a language skill on a resume.

YunieXTidus on September 9, 2011, 1:02:36 PM

YunieXTidusExplain to me what the role of a "producer" entails.

I dunno, they're not very partial to OC's as you say.

You'd better be! xD I've been procrastinating on it for days!

I'm taking it next semester, hopefully! Kind of excited.

nextguardian on September 9, 2011, 1:10:50 PM

nextguardianIt's basically a high-level management thing. I went the extra step and was actively involved in designing levels, but my job was chiefly to recruit people, assign teams, set deadlines, make sure those deadlines were met, etc. I was also doing advertising, and occasionaly heading up the design or art departments. I hope that's a helfpul description.

That's true. Although some of them do get behind quality, too.

lol, I'm always ready for something like that!

I'll be happy to help you, if you need it ^^

YunieXTidus on September 9, 2011, 1:14:52 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat helps, yeah.

I hope I get a few curious ff.net'ers who end up liking it, and spread the word, or whatever. xD

Who isn't?

Thanks!

Also, I wasn't sure what to title the DS9 fic. On here, it's "DS9" but on ff.net, where it's already categorized into DS9 under star trek, that seems a little redundant. For now, I titled it "The Long Run." What do you think would be a more effective title?

nextguardian on September 9, 2011, 1:17:01 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianCool. I'm glad it helped. It's a really fun job. I'd love for it to be a career.

That's how it usually works, I think. It's not like FAC, where no one reads.

True enough.

No problem. It's good for me, too.

Let me think about it and get back to you. I can't think up anything good atm. Brain is fried from nearly 4 hours of continuous math study --'

YunieXTidus on September 9, 2011, 1:45:25 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol no kidding. Almost immediately after I posted that one I had you read (the Chuck one), I got about 3 reviews. Since then I've gotten at least 3 more.

Sure, sure. Take your time. It won't be up on ff until some ungodly hour in the morning anyway.

So, at the risk of sounding like a broken record, how's Amlian/Hisato going? (btw that's my 'couple nickname' for amy/julian and yamato/hisako. xD

YunieXTidusLove it! I love the balance of emotion here. It's very deep, but has its lighthearted moments too. Really quite beautiful.

nextguardian on September 8, 2011, 11:57:52 AM

nextguardianWas her reliving the rape too much for FAC, do you think? I don't go into detail, but at the same time it's a little off-putting. Although I do think that having Yuji more conscious than she knew was a nice touch. There are few things that set Yuji off like that. Raping his new girlfriend in front of him...yeah, kinda sheds more light on what made him drug up and kill those fools!

So, how are you tonight?

YunieXTidus on September 8, 2011, 12:00:37 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI think it would be good to put a warning at the beginning of the chapter, but I don't see why not.

I'm good. My friend is coming over tomorrow to study, and tonight I'm doing a bit of reading. I may work some more on your RQ, if I finish this book before too late tonight. You?

nextguardian on September 8, 2011, 12:06:08 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianFair enough. I wonder if I made the rape scene too tame now. It's hard to find a good balance. I want it to be powerful and scary, but at the same time I want to avoid being a complete pig.

Hey, nice! I'm going to study a bit tonight, work on some fics (hopefully yours), and that's about it. I've got a friend coming over to study tomorrow, too, come to think.

YunieXTidus on September 8, 2011, 12:08:13 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNo, I think you balanced it out nicely. I felt revolted for her, and totally understood why Yuji snapped and went all vigilante.

Lol what a coincidence.

nextguardian on September 8, 2011, 12:12:43 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianSo then it was as classy as a rape scene could get, basically? I can't help but worry. But it was the only explanation for a straight arrow like Yuji to turn to drugs.
How about their little mini semi-hentai scenes? Were those okay, too? Not so good at those --'

Studying is much better with friends. Misery loves company and all.

YunieXTidus on September 8, 2011, 12:14:36 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD a little insecure, are we? Didn't you get my comment about it? I loved it. Relax, man.

True, true.

nextguardian on September 8, 2011, 12:18:28 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianInsecure. Definitely insecure XD And I did get your comment. Still worried, of course! Wouldn't be me if I wasn't worried.

I hate math. Really, really hate math --'

YunieXTidus on September 8, 2011, 12:21:23 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusDon't worry. It's a great piece of prose.

You are definitely not alone there. Bleh.

nextguardian on September 8, 2011, 12:24:31 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianCool. Thank you! Hopefully I'll finish that series up soon, too.

I almost never pass it the first time. I get overwhelmed easily in math, for some reason.

YunieXTidus on September 8, 2011, 12:26:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusPlease do!

Understandable. Math sucks.

nextguardian on September 8, 2011, 12:34:17 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAfter I'm done writing from Azami's POV, I'd like to write from a more normal girl's POV. As in maybe she occasionally has people attracted to her, and she's got friends. Yuji being a loner is both good and bad. It keeps the story simple, but really, I can only have him walking alone in the rain forlornly smoking a rare cigarette so many times XD

I hate how there's only one right answer to a question. That's the hardest part for me.

YunieXTidus on September 8, 2011, 12:36:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusSounds interesting. I'm toying with a fanfic for this book I'm reading. It does NOT end the way I want it to.

I just hate numbers. Period.

nextguardian on September 8, 2011, 12:38:57 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI hate endings that aren't good. Always makes me want to write a fic, too. Which book is it that you're reading, if I may ask?

I swear, I'm going to burn the phone book just because it has numbers in it! XD

nextguardianOh, cool! That is a nice twist.

Weird question here- what do you think is the worst thing that could happen to Yuji?

YunieXTidus on September 6, 2011, 2:26:12 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYeah, but at the end of this episode, his dad got taken hostage by the bad organization.

xD Idk... death?

nextguardian on September 6, 2011, 2:35:50 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAh, that sucks. Probably more interesting that way.

Good answer. I was just curious what came to mind for you. You'll see why I asked later in Serving.

YunieXTidus on September 6, 2011, 2:37:44 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYeah. I've no doubt they're going to rescue him successfully. I'm reading while I wait for the next episode to download.

xD You gonna kill him off?

Oh, first worst thing; getting his genitals removed. second; death.

nextguardian on September 6, 2011, 2:47:30 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAh. Reading anything good?

He'll be tortured, but in a different way than usual. It's interesting. Something I hadn't considered with him before.

That's a good point. Since his tormentors are usually female and usually attracted to him, I tend to leave his jewels in place, lol. Maybe an accident that forces him to be recreated as a female might be interesting...lol.

I was toying with yet another idea. I've been trying to decide which girl should get a story told from her POV.

YunieXTidus on September 6, 2011, 2:49:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYes, actually. Heard of the Artemis Fowl series?

Hmm... I'm intrigued.

Haha. I had that as an idea for a one-shot for him. xD

Azami, duh.

nextguardian on September 6, 2011, 3:09:41 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHeard of in name only. Not familiar with it.

As I'd hoped. We aren't too far removed from that arc, so hopefully it won't be long before you read it. Oh- and he gets laid soon! Yay for Yuji! lol.

Oh, you should do it, then! I'm more occupied with a romantic comedy where Azami tries to show him that girls aren't so different from guys by forcing him to cross dress and go out with her for a day.

lol. I was thinking about her. I'd actually had one from her POV in the works. I was about to ask you if you wouldn't mind reading what I have so far. I'm not sure it's suited for FAC...So if you've got a spare few minutes, want to help me out?

nextguardian on September 7, 2011, 11:05:18 AM

YunieXTidusI'm still up! How was your day?

nextguardian on September 5, 2011, 3:43:14 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt was okay, save for random bursts of anxiety from stress. How about your day?

YunieXTidus on September 5, 2011, 3:44:54 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusPretty good. Got up around noon, watched some tv. I actually got a little bit of cleaning done today! xD That NEVER happens.

What are you up to?

nextguardian on September 5, 2011, 3:50:41 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, sounds like what I planned to do. I, however, was not productive.

Just trying to calm down for the night. That's about it. How about you?

YunieXTidus on September 5, 2011, 3:51:35 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusReading some fanfics from one of my fave ff.net authors. Any reason for your not-calm-ness?

nextguardian on September 5, 2011, 3:56:53 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianSchool, work, and job-hunting are all meeting at once. Stressing me a bit. Plus, no sleep. I haven't been able to relax at all, so I'm probably fatigued, too. Ah well. I'll live.

Anything good planned for tomorrow/

YunieXTidus on September 5, 2011, 3:58:17 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYou know, they say sex is good for stress.

Just school. I have to go early tomorrow to get a new i.d. Somehow, I managed to lose it in the first 5 days I had it. WTF. -_- And you're not even allowed on campus without it, much less in your classes.

nextguardian on September 5, 2011, 4:04:34 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI heard. Now I just gotta find some XD Nah, I'd be ashamed to be seen in the middle of an anxiety attack.

Wow, that's odd. I've actually never been asked for my ID on campus, even when they swear I'll need it.

YunieXTidus on September 5, 2011, 4:05:48 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus:( There's nothing to be ashamed of in something you can't control.

Well, they've caught like, drug dealers and stuff in the past with this system, so they're really cracking down.

nextguardian on September 5, 2011, 4:08:57 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI almost feel guilty I can't control it better. Consider that I could barely leave the house six years ago and now I can move normally, I should be happy. But still...(shakes head)

Ah, I see. They never even did that after a stabbing on my campus. Stupid people --' I'm going to apply for a security position there, I think.

YunieXTidus on September 5, 2011, 4:10:42 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNo one's perfect. I get them from time to time. When I can, I call one of my friends and have them talk to me to distract me. But honestly, don't feel guilty or ashamed. It's not your fault.

Yikes. Ooh, you'll have to send me a pic of you in uniform. ;)

nextguardian on September 5, 2011, 4:16:47 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianMaybe not, but it's certainly a large part of the reason I don't even seriously attempt to date. I just can't bear to put my biggest weakness out there. It's not so much ashamed as...well, it's almost never a good thing to show your cards too early, so to speak. If I can improve more; gain some confidence first...

Hey, sure! lol. For some reason, I've always wanted to do security work. Must be the Yuji in me.

YunieXTidus on September 5, 2011, 4:19:20 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, it's not something that you mention on the first date. Maybe the third or fourth. But honestly, any girl who's worth your time will be understanding about it.

I love me a man in uniform. (No joke)

YunieXTidus on September 6, 2011, 6:07:27 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusSorry I missed you last night. I hope you're okay. ^^

nextguardian on September 6, 2011, 9:37:04 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm really sorry about that. For the life of me, I could not get any of my internet browsers to connect to FAC. I assumed the site was down for maintenance or something. At any rate, I'm really sorry about that.

Problem is, if I'm going to have the anxiety attack, it'll be on the first date. lol. Hell of a thing to try to explain when I'm not sure how to word it. I'm not sure there is a good word for an anxiety attack.

lol. I wear a uniform normally for my refereeing, too, but it's decidedly unflattering.

nextguardian on September 6, 2011, 1:08:16 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianGood evening. How goes it tonight?

YunieXTidus on September 6, 2011, 1:20:33 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHey, no worries. I was just afraid you went off to handle your anxiety thing on your own.

Lol fair enough.

xD Well, isn't that always the way?

I'm good, how about yourself?

nextguardian on September 6, 2011, 1:27:16 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNo, not intentionally anyway. lol. I wound up getting over it by simple fatigue of all things.

First date would be like
Me: No, really, I'm not a psycho!
Girl: What, you just play one in a movie? Loser!
Me: Well, you're right about the loser part, no getting around that...

I'm better today, thank you ^^

YunieXTidus on September 6, 2011, 1:29:18 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD Naw, I'm sure you'd be at least a LITTLE more suave than that.

What's up for tonight?

nextguardian on September 6, 2011, 1:38:47 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYou give me too much credit --' lol

Had another long day, so I'm relaxing now. Hoping for a decent night's sleep.
How about you?

YunieXTidus on September 6, 2011, 1:40:05 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNah. It's basic natural instinct.

Watching some CHUCK, then I'm probably going to read a little bit. Tomorrow I've got a FULL day of class, but I hope to work more on your story on Thursday.

nextguardian on September 6, 2011, 1:45:52 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYou'd be surprised at how I can ignore my natural instincts XD Now, if the girl was in danger or something, THEN I could focus. So I have a fear of recreation, maybe?

Good luck with your classes :) I'm starting mine tomorrow...or whenever the professor emails me and tells me the course code I need to begin. Why I don't have this code is beyond me. But meh, whatever.

YunieXTidus on September 6, 2011, 1:47:14 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD Maybe so. Is there a word for that?

Thanks.

Any fic updates soon?

nextguardian on September 6, 2011, 1:57:49 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThere sure is a word for it: Stupid. lol

np

Still working on everything. Hopefully soon, though! I just can't get good direction established. I've still got tons of ideas that go nowhere.

YunieXTidus on September 6, 2011, 1:59:46 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOmg! Huge plot twist in my show. xD This is AWESOME.

Oh, btw, did you get around to watching BSG yet? If not, no biggie. Just wondering.

nextguardianSo it works? Not too unbelievable? I didn't want to wind up making it too much like a romance one-shot. Dax is the usual pilot on DS9, and Sisko did notice Holmes was into Dax, so I was figuring 'okay, he likes Holmes, so why not?' It's believable, then?

nextguardian on September 4, 2011, 5:04:06 PM

YunieXTidus on September 4, 2011, 5:12:51 PM

YunieXTidusSigh. Not as of yet, but I haven't abandoned the thought of an 'origins' fic for her.

nextguardian on September 4, 2011, 5:19:21 PM

YunieXTidus on September 4, 2011, 5:20:56 PM

YunieXTidusAs it is now, I can barely focus long enough to finish a one-shot. xD Speaking of, I haven't forgotten about yours! I'll probably finish it later on this week or so.

YunieXTidus on September 4, 2011, 5:50:39 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIs that so?

nextguardian on September 4, 2011, 6:11:26 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, usually incredibly stimulating.

The only good ideas I've had for romances are usually involved Azami and Yuji and Kuroko or Yuji. But nothing comes of them. Just ideas. No stories, no nothing. Right now I've got one where Azami forces Yuji to cross dress, ostensibly trying to help him understand girls. And in I'll point out a few things (like the fact that perfectly rational guys suddenly act like dicks in front of a lady. Pardon my use of slang for male genatalia, but it fit the description) that I've noticed over the years.

YunieXTidusJust reading a surprisingly deep bit of fanfiction I stumbled across on ff.net. Sorry to hear about the headache. I've been getting those a lot the past few days. I was hoping my friend would get online after work, but I'm not sure about his schedule, and he's probably asleep by now. xD

nextguardian on September 4, 2011, 4:08:58 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI don't think they grow woods deep enough to hide the kind of girls that would like me XD

If they get Terry Farell on that show, I'm gonna be pissed! XD

So, here's a little clip from what I was working on:

Ensign Holmes was nervous. He had tried to mediate until it was his turn, but he couldn’t even see the fire in his mind at this point. Maybe he wasn’t as diligent as he needed to be? His Vulcan mentor had said six months, and here he was, pushing seven months, and he could only use this technique to stay calm, rather than become calm..

That was moot point now. Beyond the next set of doors lay a standard Federation shuttle. Every kid dreams of piloting a shuttle at some point or another, interested in Starfleet or not.

Except Holmes. He hated it. Hell, his post was on a space station. As in, stationary. Not moving.

It’s for the command track. Just do it and get it over with.

His firm admonition to himself gave him resolve enough to walk through the doors and into the airlock. He was up on upper pylon three, the top of the station. Maybe that was all relative in space, but it didn’t seem relative now. It seemed way the hell up high.

All the better to scare you with, my dear. Wonder if my ancestors hated driving- what were they? Ah. Cars. I wonder if they hated those things as much as I do this shuttle.

Holmes stopped purely out of habit, as his thought was elsewhere, and called out “Permission to come aboard?”

“Granted,” came a voice from the cockpit. It was male, but sounded young. Usually these instructors were old and harsh. Maybe this was a lucky break?

Holmes tugged his uniform tunic straight and stepped into the craft. He looked around, spotting his instructor in the navigator’s chair. Quite involuntarily, Holmes let himself relax a bit. His instructor was a Bolian, and they were by and large the most jovial of alien races that he had ever met.

“Don’t let your guard down just because I’m Bolian,” the instructor called out, clicking his tongue. “I’m only half Bolian. The other half is Betazoid.”

Holmes had to stop acerbic Klingon curses from floating through his mind. This wasn’t good. This wasn’t good at all. If there was any race that inspired unease in him as much as Bolians inspired good feelings, it was Betazoids. Ever since that one annoying instructor at the academy, that Troi woman…

Chuckling at Holmes’ apparent worry, the instructor introduced himself, extending a blue hand out for a handshake.
“I’m Commander Lech. No reason to be nervous, Ensign. Is this your first time taking the test?”

Holmes nodded, choking out a ‘yes, sir’ as his mind feebly wandered through the basics of piloting again. To Holmes’ immense worry, his mind was blank. He knew of old Japanese concepts from earth that dictate it’s better to have ‘no mind’ at a time like this, but he would have felt better if a coherent thought could pass through his head.

After vaguely hearing the instructor ask him to sit, Holmes began to run through pre-launch procedures. When he blasted away from DS9 at half-impulse rather than the quarter-impulse as regulations specifically stated, he could feel it in his gut.

I am so screwed.

YunieXTidus on September 4, 2011, 4:12:48 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAww, don't say that! Just because one hasn't made itself known yet, doesn't mean it doesn't exist!

I love this! xD I hadn't thought about there being a 'driver test' for the shuttles. xD For a second though, I thought it was Amy/Dan's friendship-bonding scene. Then I was like, "wait, shuttles? what?" But yeah. I like it!

nextguardian on September 4, 2011, 4:15:10 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianLol, hey, it's true though! Ah well. Maybe they'll invent holograms or androids during my lifetime...

Actually, it goes a bit in the opposite direction. Further down:
Sitting with Amy and Doctor Bashir, Holmes gave the replimat table a hammer-like shot with his fist.

“Damn it! I knew as soon as I made that first mistake…no, no, before that! I knew before that I was doomed!”

Julian and Amy exchanged glances. They had sat here, hoping to hear good news, or expecting to be of some comfort. But seeing the unflappable Dan Holmes so distraught was disturbing. They had known that his career was everything to him, but for such a minor setback to rattle him so much…

Running a hand through his bushy brown hair, Holmes glowered at the tabletop, muttering “I’m in the wrong game.”
That led to a tense silence, broken by Amy when she decided enough was enough.

“Look, Dan, so you failed a stupid test? Get over it!”

Bashir knew instantly that Amy had said the wrong thing. Normally, Ensign Holmes could take her rather persnickety comments quietly, but today was an exception. Holmes was on his feet in a second, his finger swinging out in an accusatory arc.
“Look Amy, I’m not in the mood for your ‘tough love’ pep talks today, alright? I failed the test, and that’s that! I need to figure out what to do with myself, and now!”

Holmes stormed off, a path being cut for him by rather shaken patrons.

YunieXTidus on September 4, 2011, 4:18:02 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD That's EXACTLY something Amy would do. xDD

Amy: (dumbfounded, looks to Bashir in confusion) Was it something I said?

Julian: .......

nextguardian on September 4, 2011, 4:21:21 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, then I got her reaction almost right. This is what I had down:

Bashir and Amy watched him go, both wearing looks of shock on their faces.

“Dan doesn’t just snap like that!” Amy protested, her face flushed from being half of the center of attention. “What the hell was that about? All I said was-”

Bashir took her hand gently, trying to word this correctly. If not, there would be a second explosion in the replimat.
“Amy, dear, I think it’s more of how you said it

YunieXTidus on September 4, 2011, 4:23:37 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLove it! xD

Hold on, didn't you promise me an AmyJulian?

nextguardian on September 4, 2011, 4:25:32 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI thought it fit.

I did, or a HisaYama. Still working, although I haven't done well on romance fics lately. Not for lack of effort, believe me.

nextguardianlol, sorry. Quick question- in 'Serving', am I getting Naruto and Sakura's make-out sessions right. Are they believable, do you think?

Just another moment and I'll have a good chunk ready for you...

nextguardianNope. Not for at least a month. Never been so tempted to move --' I love her dearly, but she's a handful.

Nice, nice. I watched the TNG episode 'Brothers' last night. Brent Spiner is probably the most talented ST actor. Pulling off three roles simultaneously...yowza!

YunieXTidus on September 3, 2011, 1:03:08 PM

Lol I've been saying that for years!

nextguardianShe can be evil. We moved her in with us, and she'll say stuff like 'maybe I should have gone to a nursing home. At least then I'd have company'. This is if I go somewhere with my Mom and she isn't included. --'

Well, you are correct, then! You've been vindicated because I agree with you! XD

YunieXTidusOld people have an altered perception about things. To your grandma, I'm sure she legitimately feels abandoned when you go somewhere without her.

Lol. I love 'im.

nextguardianShe's been that way since before she was old, or so I'm told.

He's awesome. Although when Siddig El Fadil pulled of 'rapidly aging Bashir', that was stellar acting, too.

YunieXTidusWell, I wasn't planning on doing the first borg thing until they had at least a basic friendship, and then the stranded-planet-thing would come later, after they'd bonded a bit more.
I do want her to feel a LITTLE remorseful for throwing him through Bashir's biobed. He IS a redshirt, after all.

How far did you get through it?

I'm good tonight, and yourself?

nextguardian on September 1, 2011, 2:29:28 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAh, I see. My misunderstanding, then. I think I should outline a bit of Yuji's future. You know how, on DS9, everyone more or less gets along? Aside from Kira being obnoxious in the beginning, pretty much everyone finds their place, right? I wanto Holmes to be sort of an exception. Like, some people like him; some people don't. They take his choice to study and spend time by himself as arrogance (at least at first). Bashir is going to dislike him at first for other reasons altogether. So as a result, Holmes makes friends with Kira, Dax, and then Commander and Jake Sisko. O'Brien will work with anyone, so he just respects Holmes' work. Odo dislikes him; has since their first meeting.
Anything special about Amy that I should know? Our next couples chapter should really develop our OC's personalities I think.

I got through most of it. Saw the kissing scene. I skipped a bit to the end this morning.

Well, today wasn't a good day. First thing this morning my Grandma went in for minor surgery. Then my Dad got in a car accident. He's fine, but the vehicle is ruined beyond repair. I wanted to watch Star Trek: Generations so bad. I even told him 'Maybe someday you will. I doubt this will be the last ship to carry the name...Enterprise'. I figured it was OK since he was joking around a bit himself. But anyway, yeah, not a stellar day.

YunieXTidus on September 1, 2011, 2:37:38 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAnything special like how? Like, personality quirks? I plan to give her a specific case of agoraphobia- fear of wide open spaces.

Kissing scene was my favorite part. xD Not gonna lie.

I'm really sorry to hear that. I hope your Granma comes out okay. I did laugh a little at the Enterprise thing, though. xD Isn't that from one of the movies?

nextguardian on September 1, 2011, 2:44:25 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianPersonality quirks would be great. Any particularly strong friendships? Or dislikes that might come in handy? I was thinking that maybe Amy could be the one who finally 'gets' Holmes. Like 'Oh, wait, he's not a jerk. He's just an awkward, shy loner'. Maybe that could be the big opening to their friendship.

It was hot, no doubt.

Thanks :) She's doing good so far. And yes, you are correct. It was from Star Trek: Generations, after Enterprise D crashlands on Veridian IV, the last scene of the movie where Picard and Riker are standing in the remains of the bridge. It fit the situation XD

YunieXTidus on September 1, 2011, 2:50:45 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI think a Starfleet officer posted to a deep space station with a fear of wide open spaces is hilariously ironic. Hmm. Her and Quark, as I've already mentioned. I plan on giving her and Odo a nice companionship, if not a fast friendship, just 'cause I love Odo to bits. She hates lettuce, celery, basically anything green. (is that what you meant? xD) Yeah, I was thinking that, too. After her initial confrontation with him, where she blows him off and he's hurt and confused, and Julian confronts her and she realizes she's prejudiced... And then, maybe one night her agoraphobia takes particularly strong hold and she and Holmes bump into each other in some quiet part of the station, and he offers to teach her how to meditate? Maybe? What do you think?

Not to mention, I kinda have a thing for that couple. PLUS the girl is the epitome of who I wish I was. xD

Very witty. Nice one.

nextguardian on September 1, 2011, 2:55:42 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat's perfect, on all counts. Is there any she dislikes, or any species? Like, hates the Cardassians, loves the Bajorans, etc?
I like that idea for their meeting. Perfect, actually. Both up on a late-night stroll. We could have an incident where there was a hull breach and Amy saw it first hand, had a nasty nightmare about it, and went walking. Holmes could be standing on the top level of the promenade, in a deep trance. THne the mediation comes in? This is what you already said, so you get credit XD I'm just having fun fleshing out the specifics ^^

Ah, I see. I myself would like to similar to Tom Paris, maybe.

It just popped out. Fun stuff. It's not like I could whip that line out at any other time and have it fit, right? XD

YunieXTidus on September 1, 2011, 3:00:14 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNot in particular. She's fascinated by the Cardassians, but she is wary to trust them. Andorians, though... she definitely has low tolerance for them.

That's beyond perfect! That reminded me of this scene of BSG. It's like, 20 seconds long.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yS6m6NM_Md0

I can understand that. He's pretty hot.

No, but you could whip out something else, far more interesting. ;))

nextguardian on September 1, 2011, 3:05:58 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat's a good thing, then. Her, Garak, and Bashir having lunch would be entertaining.

That's it, perfect! That's exactly what I was picturing! We can even have some hapless reshirt (ok, technically, gold shoulder black jumpsuit at this point) get sucked out. Nice find!

Hell, I'd be happy just to have that kind of confidence!

lol, indeed it would. But I'd need to make sure there was enough clearance first...

YunieXTidus on September 1, 2011, 3:08:06 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat certainly would, at that.

xD poor nameless crewman.

Aw, you're cute! Don't say that!

xDDDDDD I just laughed and snorted at the same time. xD How much clearance do you NEED? xDDD

nextguardian on September 1, 2011, 3:15:05 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI was thinking that I'd make Holmes out to be a 'pampered command track jackass' a bit more by having him join the Siskos for dinner semi-often, plus by having him at the right place at the right time for things he doesn't want, like that medal from Bajor. Maybe make Amy's views of him justified at first, through no fault of his own.
This idea came from me hating Wesley Crusher somehow.

Yup. Poor guy. Fated to get blown out into the vaccuum of space.

Still, Paris has got me beat, easy.

Got an empty shuttlebay? XD

lol, my favorite one isn't on there. There's this one where Picard goes to exit the turbolift, and the doors don't open. He goes 'Bloody hell!'. Riker, in character, says 'Are you alright, sir?" Then Data pipes up in his Picard impression 'I'm fine, Number one!'. Then they all lose it.

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, I'm one of those people that throws 100% of their being into something their passionate about. I tend to take it hard when my efforts in something, be it work or school, come up short. How about you?

I think so. Do you have an idea for a first contact situation?

On that subject, I came up with some episode ideas, one of which I think involves first contact.

Confidence: Holmes must make a decision that will affect the entire station. He is pressured by everyone, who all want him to make the decisions to favor them.

The Best Among Us: Aliens reveal the darksides of the DS9 crew, and only Amy and Bashir can save them, having been in the better-shielded sickbay. With Odo and Quark being the only other uninfected beings, the station is a hazard. Bajoran Terrorists try to take advantage of the situation.

Walking Tall (part 1): It’s up to Quark and Amy to rescue a planet that is dying but doesn’t believe it. They are captured, with a lone sympathizer to help them. Amy has to replicate a cure quickly to prove it can be done.

Walking Tall (part 2): Amy saves the planet and is hailed as a hero. As the shuttle bearing Ensign Holmes and Major Kira, the planet is attacked and destroyed by the Borg; the people assimilated. The shuttle escapes, but is heavily damaged. They make it back to DS9. There is a massive battle, with all of the docked ships destroyed, and many people assimilated. Battle for DS9. Enterprise D comes to the rescue. Bashir collects samples of Borg parts for further study.

Prophets Walking: The wormhole is affected by a spatial anomaly. Sisko sends Dax out with Holmes as a pilot (his new hobby) to find out what’s happening. The wormhole beings tell them that they are being hurt. A Borg Transwarp Conduit is at the heart of the cause, and Dax and Holmes must destroy it.

A Bitter Herb: Amy is infected by Borg nanites that Bashir collected previously. Bashir must cure her and prevent a station-wide outbreak as the nanites can leap from person to person unless killed by a mysterious element that Amy accidently stumbled into while infected. Hard to identify, so there need to be volunteers to be infected for testing.

YunieXTidus on August 31, 2011, 1:17:30 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusMy mom's bosses are threatening to halve her pay, and we simply can't survive on half of her salary. So we're looking at having to sell the house, go on food stamps, etc, etc...

Well, do you remember the situation I told you about where because Amy has the nanites, she can control the Borg drones that (insert planet name here)'s people have learned to control? I was thinking she and O'Brien (or some other crew member) were sent to scout out the area, like Riker did in that one episode of TNG. They're immediately stranded because of some global defense field or something, and they're caught on the wrong border of a religious war between two groups. They're trapped there for several months. My story would focus on her and the other crew member, while yours would focus on Holmes' and the rest of the station's attempts to get them back. What do you think?

(Love all of those plots btw)

ALso, I may not be immediately responsive. I'm scrambling to finish this paper before midnight, which was due today. But once I'm done, I'll be back with you, if you'd care to stick around.

nextguardian on August 31, 2011, 1:21:01 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh man, I'm so sorry to hear that! That sucks on a great many levels. Really sorry to hear that.

I love it! That could totally work. Given that this is DS9, I think you should consider having the planet be in the Gamma Quadrant, so there's the added problem of The Founders and the Jem Ha'dar. Something like that, so even the Defiant isn't quite enough to deal with it.

That's okay; take your time. I'll be around as long as I can keep my eyes open.

YunieXTidus on August 31, 2011, 1:36:50 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusMy mom's a total mess, so I'm having to be the pillar of strength. As usual. -_- She doesn't know what to do, and I have even less of a clue of what to do... Idk.

Yeah, that was my thinking, that it would be in the gamma quadrant. I need a valid reason for Amy to go though, as opposed to Julian or someone of higher rank. And who do you think the other crewman should be? xD I keep saying "crewman." DS9 doesn't have a "crew," does it?

-_- Can you write my paper for me? xD Pretty please?

nextguardian on August 31, 2011, 1:43:10 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI wish I had some idea for you. Aside from finding another job or something, I don't know what to suggest. I wish I had something better to say.

I think DS9 has a crew. Let's see...how about Bashir has been called to Bajor for a medical summit, to help bring Bajor's medical technology up to Federation standards? That puts Amy in the position of going with O'Brien.

lol, only if you don't mind failing dismally...

YunieXTidus on August 31, 2011, 2:30:37 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusBy the time she gets hired anywhere else, it would be too late, as far as the money's concerned. But I do appreciate the thought!

But why would a medical officer go in the first place? And why O'Brien?

xD I got it done, and 30 minutes before deadline! Woot.

nextguardian on August 31, 2011, 2:40:08 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianSorry it wasn't a very creative thought :(

O'Brien because he wants to test a new feature of the shuttle (That will somehow come in handy later, keeping with ST tradition), and because O'Brien is the Operations officer, which means that if someone is going to get jailed, sick, or killed, it'll be him (also keeping with ST tradition).
How about this: They receive a planetary distress signal, priority channel, through the wormhole. But due to the non-linear nature of the wormhole, the message is fragmented and the origin muddled. They wind up on the right planet, which initially snares them in with a tractor beam used for planetary defense. Amy helps them, but she can't save all her patients, and one or two die under her care, being critical cases before she could synthesize a cure. This is a criminal offense on this world, and Amy and O'Brien are unjustly jailed for it.

Go you! XD
xD I got it done, and 30 minutes before deadline! Woot.

YunieXTidus on August 31, 2011, 2:49:34 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIt's okay, dear. Thought that counts. :P

Well, since it's supposed to be first contact (so they can't reveal their true identities), I don't think that's a fitting idea, lovely idea that it is! Maybe DS9 has been sending scouts every so often to this planet, to assess how close it could be to joining the Federation. They like what they see and send O'Brien (as pilot and ? ) and Amy ( to alter their appearances and do discreet physiological scans on the indigenous people.

Would it be plausible for them to borrow a cloak-capable ship from the Klingons? Is the Federation on that good of terms with the Klingons at that point?

nextguardian on August 31, 2011, 2:55:33 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI try :D To think, I mean.

Or we could have it be an accidental first contact situation. That might be best, because if it's planned, then SOP would be to have Sisko there. Unless you replace O'Brien with Sisko, at any rate. Maybe they're conducting routinue scans of the space surrounding the wormhole to see what medical effects it might produce. They come along a planet with a distress beacon out, stop to check, find out the aliens are hostile but need medical help. They keep O'Brien alive as a hostage, occasionally hurting him so Amy will work faster.

What if O'Brien is along to adapt a Kligon cloaking device to a Federation runabout? That would explain why he's there. Amy's role could be to do exactly what you said.

YunieXTidus on August 31, 2011, 3:04:58 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNo, Sisko wouldn't have to be there for scouting. Riker did his intelligence gathering on his own.

My whole basis for this is that they're there undercover (and their cover isn't blown). They're caught by the 'bad' side of the religious war, and they're assumed to be from the other side, gathering information. They're locked up (and the cell they're in already has a member of the opposing side) and O'Brien is tortured for a few days "to loosen his girlfriend's tongue," before the other side rescues them along with the other person. In order to stay alive, they need to convince these people that they really are who they say they are, so they're not given away.

nextguardian on August 31, 2011, 3:07:32 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAh, I see. I was approaching this from the wrong angle. In that case, I think you've got the storyline perfect. We just need a reason for them to go undercover to begin with. Or, rather, we need to clearly state that because the Post-warp civilization is advanced enough technologically but in a state of political turmoil, undercover scouting is necessary.

Do you have any idea what kind of aliens these are? Any special speech? Looks? Etc?

YunieXTidus on August 31, 2011, 3:16:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYeah. Maybe the (main) reason of the religious war is because of the first warp-flight, and one side believes that it's a sin against nature and their gods, or whatever, while the other believes it's natural progress. etc, etc.

I figured very human-looking, except maybe some sort of ridging around the temples, or something. Similar speech differentiations to Earth, like British/Scottish/American/etc.

What do you think? Any ideas?

Also, I just sent you an email. ^^

nextguardian on August 31, 2011, 3:24:47 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI love it. That's a story that's been waiting to happen. Take it and run!

How about protruding temples (as opposed to human's concave temples), and maybe a triangular mouth, just to make them different?

I think you should distinguish the sides by their clothes. Frocks and robes for the religious side that is against the flight (maybe have them be more gentle looking and older), jumpsuits for the side that is, for these purposes, more military, maybe with a crest on them denoting their religious beliefs. They should probably be younger and more aggressive.

Ah, very nice! Love GL Amy (Including the face!), but your Doctor Who OC is smokin'! Love the exposed navel and tight tummy ^^

YunieXTidus on August 31, 2011, 3:39:56 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI can't even picture that. Protruding. And a triangular mouth? Elaborate.

Like this?
http://images.wikia.com/finalfantasy/images/8/8a/Kinoc.png

I'm looking for an image of how i picture the other side.

I hate the face! It's terrible!

I do have to admit, I'm pretty proud of the DW one.

nextguardian on August 31, 2011, 3:52:45 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianLet's see...okay, you know the little bones on the sides of your ankle? The temples could protrude like that. And the mouth. When you open your mouth, it makes an 'O' shape, right? So instead of two equal length lips,this alien mouth has three equal length lips, forming an equilateral triangle. One point comes under the nose, the other two come where normal human lips are. Does that help any?
I would use the clothes in that picture as a basis for the religious side. And maybe if you took the jumpsuit from Enterprise, made it a more drab color (like a gray or white color), added pockets, and then, around the shoulders, you could have the colors that they associate with religion (maybe green and cyan or something) tossed around their neck, the number of stripes denoting rank.

The face was not terrible!

Yeah, that one was hot. Love that outfit. I can picture Azami in something similar, so I was quite partial to it ^^

YunieXTidus on August 31, 2011, 3:56:20 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThe temples, I dig. But the triangular mouth. xD An interesting idea, but that would be hard to duplicate on Amy and O'Brien. Not to mention it kind of creeps me out. xDD

Was too!

I have a pair of pants exactly like the ones I drew her in. And I've thought about cutting off a hoodie to wear to bed like that. I like to be warm, wearing sleeves, but sometimes I get too hot. This seemed to meet both of those criteria.

http://www.hulu.com/watch/204798/caprica-the-heavens-will-rise

Bear through the stuff that isn't military camp stuff, and you'll see the scene that this whole idea is based off of.

nextguardian on August 31, 2011, 4:08:31 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianVery well then. Another species, perhaps.

I would suggest giving each of them a sympathizer among the opposite ranks. Maybe one of the 'military' males takes a shine to Amy, while one of the 'religious' females has a yen for O'Brien. That way you have a potential escape route and conflict point. These two 'guides' dislike each other, and if their respective sides find out that they've been aiding someone from the otherside, open hostilities could increase. That could be what leads to O'Brien's capture.

That does sound comfortable. Though I prefer to sleep closer to naked...

I'll take a look.

YunieXTidus on August 31, 2011, 4:11:39 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYou read my mind. I had every intention of giving Amy an admirer. Although O'Brien... he's got Keiko. (this is before any serious romance occurs with Amy and Julian, just casual interest)

I slept naked last night.

:) Lemme know what you think. There's also a particular kissing scene I'm quite fond of. Very nice. I think you'll know it when you get to it. Dark alleys and such.

nextguardian on August 31, 2011, 4:20:59 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianMaybe we should reverse the status of the admirers. Amy should have the 'religious' admirer and O'Brien the 'Military' admirer What you just said gave me an idea. Maybe rather than a love interest, we have O'Brien help them solve a problem, and be respected, engineer to engineer. Something like that. Some clear point where we can illustrate similarities, to make the aliens feel somewhat familiar.

I've been thinking about Holmes. I'd like to eventually give him an episode where he disobeys and order and gets busted down in rank. For him, it's like 'what the hell? That's never happened? I did the right thing', which leads to a whole moral dillema. Most ST episodes have a message in them, and I was thinking it would suit Holmes to illustrate that the justice system in use is flawed. That you can be punished for doing good. The idea came from an episode of Voyager, plus the fact that the law allows for someone to break into your house, hurt his leg, and then sue you.

Me, too. It's nice on a summer night.

Very interesting thusfar. Haven't finished yet.

YunieXTidus on August 31, 2011, 4:25:56 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm thinking having them both be Military, but the "religious" admirer of O'Brien is actually a military in disguise, and she helps bust them out, and soon, in come the cavalry to sweep them away. I intend to have them spend a long time 'in the trenches' with the military group.

That sounds awesome. What do you think about the "on the planet," and "meanwhile, back on DS9" approach with your and my chapters?

xD Did you really?

It's a really interesting show. This is a 'prequel' to Battlestar Galactica, which I've mentioned to you god knows how many times. xD

nextguardian on August 31, 2011, 4:38:33 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat works nicely, I think. Very nicely indeed.

I think that works nicely. Have the Ops staff chatter about different issues, then murmur about how Amy and O'Brien have missed their check-in time, working up to going to get them. Maybe have Quark mention Amy, then have Bashir come back and be worried about Amy and O'Brien, since they're his two best friends on the station. Give him a reason to be involved with the rescue team. Who should that consist of? I was thinking that Sisko should go, maybe with Dax at the helm, leaving Kira and Holmes in Ops. That way we can keep the whole 'station; planet. Station; planet' thing going.

Yep, really. My room gets really hot, so...yeah. lol.

Ah, I was wondering what sort of motives you might have here XD. Interesting show thus far.

Well, I'm going to call it a night, I think. Another early morning tomorrow -_-' Can't wait until I'm done with those.

YunieXTidus on September 1, 2011, 11:00:33 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusGlad you approve. :)

I think that works well. I intend to have Amy and Quark develop a fast friendship. And I was thinking that we could add in some Dan/Amy friendship development in the episodes preceding this, to give him ample reason to worry, and a kindred (sort of) spirit for Julian.

I'm surprised how nonchalant you are about telling me you sleep NAKED. xD

No motive, other than this was the episode that Amy and O'Brien's whole situation is inspired by.

Did you ever finish the ep? What did you think?

nextguardianAh, just quoting lines. Trouble with Tribbles- one of my all-time faves^^

Either way, what's up tonight lass?

YunieXTidus on August 30, 2011, 2:08:17 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNever seen/heard of it. Just doing a bit of reading. I SHOULD be doing homework... maybe I'll skip my English class. Anyway, one of the books I read was based in Scotland. Hence the scotsman talk.

nextguardian on August 30, 2011, 2:11:49 PM

nextguardianThe TOS episode the Trouble with Tribbles? Never heard of- my God! I'm going to faint!
Ah, well. Good for you, reading. Good hobby to have ^^

YunieXTidus on August 30, 2011, 2:14:02 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus(Fans you frantically) Don't faint! I may do indecent things to you while you're unconscious!

Lol. I think you're just saying that be cause the thought of me as a bonny Scots lass is infinitely more appealing than plain ol' American me. ;)

nextguardian on August 30, 2011, 2:19:58 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardian(not waking up then, lol)

The realm of fantasy is much more appealing than reality. I'd rather be a Trill, or hell, even a Borg. Or better yet, in Naruto or something. I suck, lol.

YunieXTidus on August 30, 2011, 2:22:01 PM

Lol, I think most people suffer from that.

Whar ya up to, laddie?

nextguardianReality can suck. But whatever, it's where I live. Well, sort of. Being a Trekkie and all, I can't call it a permanent residence XD

Had a long day, so I'm just relaxing. Thinking about writing a bit more. Same old, same old.

YunieXTidus on August 30, 2011, 2:25:57 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHaha.

I do wish I had been raised in Scotland though. I'm part Scottish actually. xD little fun-fact about me.

nextguardian on August 30, 2011, 2:31:35 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, really? Cool! I've got a really mixed heritage. I know for sure German and Italian are in there, plus some other things.

YunieXTidus on August 30, 2011, 2:44:04 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusTell me, do you have a thing for redheads?

nextguardian on August 30, 2011, 2:44:48 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianSure, I like red hair. No aversion to it or anything.

YunieXTidus on August 30, 2011, 2:45:19 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat's not what I asked. xD

nextguardian on August 30, 2011, 2:50:46 PM

nextguardianLet me try again.
Sure. Female redheads. why?

YunieXTidus on August 30, 2011, 2:51:34 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusJust wondering. In Scotland, gingers abide in plenty.

nextguardian on August 30, 2011, 2:56:31 PM

nextguardianI like red hair and green eyes personally. Not dead set on that, but it's aesthetically pleasing ^^

nextguardianNot too much. Just answering some emails and trying to stay awake. Had a nice big anxiety attack for about an hour and a half last night, so I'm short on sleep as usual. That sucks. Meh.

nextguardian on August 29, 2011, 2:24:45 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, no, I was actually tired. I was kind of half asleep when the damned thing hit. waking up feeling like crap always makes my anxiety worse, so it just kind of got a little out of control for a while. No biggie, but thank you anyway ^^

YunieXTidus on August 29, 2011, 2:26:35 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh. I'm sorry I missed you though. I wish I could have helped. :(

nextguardian on August 29, 2011, 2:31:03 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNo biggie ^^' I lived, so I'm okay XD Wound up writing to try to kill some of it. Didn't help my anxiety much, but I got some work on 'Serving' done, so whatever. no need for you to feel guilty or something.

YunieXTidus on August 29, 2011, 2:32:09 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI do wonder how someone having an anxiety attack would react to a sudden sexual advance. Snogging really screws with your concentration.

nextguardian on August 29, 2011, 2:36:39 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, I swear I was just writing something like that in an email to a friend! Sex is supposed to be an anxiety cure. Neuropeptides and Pheromones mix a certain way, and it just...works. Huh. So I need to get laid?
Pfft. I think I'd have a better chance of growing two feet taller overnight.

YunieXTidus on August 29, 2011, 2:38:23 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, come around my neck of the woods sometime. ;)

nextguardian on August 29, 2011, 2:44:57 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, thanks, I might just do that XD

So, any art/fics/etc in progress atm? I feel bad, talking about my stuff all the time.

YunieXTidus on August 29, 2011, 2:46:59 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYou should. I guarantee you'd get a nice, warm welcome. ;]

I have 2 drawings that I've finished, I've just been too lazy to scan them. One is the green lantern amy that i talked to you about, and the OC for my doctor who fic that I haven't written yet. I'm afraid to upload the green lantern one, because as cool as the rest of it is, I TOTALLY screwed up the face. xD It's awful, and I'm thinking of blurring it out. xD

nextguardian on August 29, 2011, 2:50:15 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI bet! And you'd get a totally awkward 'thank you' out of it! XD

Oh, come on, now way! Your faces are always awesome! Scan scan scan! I want to see it! Share share share! in triplicate triplicate triplicate!

So, do you ever see a Holmes/Seven pairing happening? Like, realistically?

YunieXTidus on August 29, 2011, 2:52:11 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusJust a thank you? For rocking your world? I'm offended.

No, trust me. I take pride in my work, but this is just awful. xD

Do I even need to answer that? xD

nextguardian on August 29, 2011, 2:56:40 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWell, obviously I'd attempt to return the favor! But not saying 'thank you' seems rude! lol.

I'll trust you, but I still think it's probably better than you think.

Is that a 'no'?

YunieXTidus on August 29, 2011, 2:58:39 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol I think the deed itself is thank you enough. xD It would just be weird. xD We both collapse on the bed, naked and sweaty, and you say "thank you" ? I'll pass. xDDD

No, definitely not.

I'm going to preserve Holmes' dignity and pretend I can't understand what you're asking.

nextguardian on August 29, 2011, 3:08:16 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOkay, okay, just being polite the best way I know how XD Besides making sure you finish, too. Wow, can't believe I typed that.

That's too bad. Any chance of fixing it, or are you going to trash the whole thing?

lol, don't do that! Seriously, I'm curious! I bet I could. Think of it this way: in my Voyager fic, he can't find his place. He'd jump at the chance to be assimilated after being so lonely and useless for four years. She's walking into something similar. That's how my mind worked it out, anyway.

YunieXTidus on August 29, 2011, 3:10:50 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD That was very brave of you. I'm impressed.

I've already colored it. :( I'm going to put up a profuse apology at her horrible face, if I decide to upload it at all. I dunno.


Lol I don't think he's her type, though. She and the Doctor kind of have a thing, don't you think? How could you deprive the poor hologram of the only thing that brightens his photonic existence?

nextguardian on August 29, 2011, 3:15:49 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThanks. I had to try really hard to type that XD

Meh just go for it. It'll still be awesome.

That's true, he's really not. Although he's not Dax's type either, if I'm honest with myself. As for the Doctor...well, that's true. Holmes would feel guilty about that. So I can see his end now:

Chakotay: Captain, the shuttle Shoemaker has left Voyager! It's Ensign Holmes!

Janeway: (stands up) Janeway to Holmes, respond!

Holmes: Sorry Captain, but we're done for if I don't do this. Besides, I've got nothing to lose. I'm the only one here with no job or strong ties...I hope you all make it home, for what it's worth. Holmes out.

Janeway: Harry, get him back! Transport-

(Shuttle flies into a Borg Cube, exploding. Holmes has transported inside and begun fighting so violently that he is killed rather than assimiliated).

sound about right?

YunieXTidus on August 29, 2011, 3:18:20 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'd pat you on the back, but I think you deserve more than that for such bravery. ;)

Lmao you are SO dramatic.

nextguardian on August 29, 2011, 3:23:26 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, thanks! Although that sort of thinking led to the bravery to begin with XD

Lol, probably so. But seriously, I toyed with that, and having them encounter that Borg cube again to find Holmes alive and not assimilated, so that the Borg Queen could try to use him as a bargaining chip to get Seven back.

I don't see him finding romance on Voyager unless it's an OC. The only females left are the captain and Torres, and I don't think he's their types either. They certainly aren't his. Althogh maybe if Janeway was younger...

YunieXTidus on August 29, 2011, 3:25:35 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus(prim and proper, slightly british accent) Well, what would you like, sir?

xD Now THAT would be a story for the ages. How Ensign Holmes seduced Captain Janeway. xD Awesome.

Okay, odd question time: if you could pair up Yuji with anyone, male or female, who would it be?

YunieXTidus on August 28, 2011, 1:31:56 PM

nextguardian on August 28, 2011, 1:34:43 PM

YunieXTidusIf I'm one thing, it's unpredictable. ;p. It would certainly put a damper on his prophecy thing. Lol.

nextguardian on August 28, 2011, 1:46:28 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, that it would. I can see it now.

Tsunade's news floored Yuji.

"Say that again!" he asked/demanded.

"We misread the prophecy. IT says you will sleep with the man you are supposed to face in mortal combat, or you will lose."

Wow, would THAT ever suck!

YunieXTidus on August 28, 2011, 1:47:34 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLmao that would be a very interesting story arc.

nextguardian on August 28, 2011, 1:51:32 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianSorry, that one won't be showing up, lol. I'm mean to Yuji, but not that mean. But I do plan to cover the prophecy and how it came about it more detail. That's probably going to be the coolest arc, at least from the standpoint of writing it.

YunieXTidus on August 28, 2011, 1:54:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol it's really not that bad. And I'm sure if Yuji actually tried it, he'd be surprised.

nextguardian on August 28, 2011, 1:56:50 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI don't think Yuji would, not even on Sakura's orders. Unless he was blackmailed to protect her. Then he might. If it came down to him or her getting raped, he would take the bullet for her. no shock there, I'd imagine. But he's definitely into girls...when he's not being terrified of them.

YunieXTidus on August 28, 2011, 1:59:17 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol. I'm not sure about that...

nextguardian on August 28, 2011, 2:00:17 PM

nextguardianOh, he's DEFINITELY heterosexual. Just painfully shy.

YunieXTidus on August 28, 2011, 2:03:42 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh, I didn't mean he wasn't heterosexual. But everyone should be willing to try something, at least once. It's really not that bad.

nextguardian on August 28, 2011, 2:08:54 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm sure you're right. Can't see Yuji ever doing it, despite the crap I put him through. Not unless he's forced by Azami or something. I could imagine her being that cruel.

YunieXTidus on August 28, 2011, 2:13:31 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol and he'd find it to be not nearly as terrible as he expected. That would also be an Interesting story.

YunieXTidus on August 27, 2011, 3:14:43 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol how about Amy tries to help Holmes dance, to which Julian gets jealous and cuts in, to which Holmes goes and sits at the bar looking so depressed that Dax takes pity on him.

nextguardian on August 27, 2011, 3:15:55 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI say let's type it out both ways and see which fits better. I like both, although I think Holmes would be primarily relieved to escape the combined clutches of Amy and the dancefloor XD

YunieXTidus on August 27, 2011, 1:39:22 PM

What if I licked it?

nextguardian on August 27, 2011, 1:45:04 PM

nextguardianlol, I suppose you could. That would be hot in a strange way.

lmao, I did not see that coming. I don't think you want to. It would be hot, but I wouldn't recommend it XD Now, if you were to bite and draw the blood yourself, that might be better.

YunieXTidusAw, I'm not very good at chess. What else have you got?

nextguardian on August 27, 2011, 2:16:53 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianLet's see...huh, I don't know. I already know that Holmes is going to spend a lot of time in holosuites, running command and tactical scenarios, that he'll eventually learn to love being a helmsman, and that he'll probably aim for the security liason position that Commander Eddington has in the canon. Beyond that, I'm not sure. What sort of recreation do you have in mind for Amy? Maybe there's something they can do together.

YunieXTidus on August 27, 2011, 2:20:47 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHmm. I hadn't really thought about it. Probably stellar cartography, and reading, I guess. I also want her to become close friends with quark.

nextguardian on August 27, 2011, 2:22:11 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAh, Quark! That's it! I planned to have Holmes be more polite to Quark than most of the others. How about having Amy and Holmes play Tango with Quark and Dax?

YunieXTidus on August 27, 2011, 2:23:10 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusPlay Tango?

nextguardianNo. I hate his name, I hate that stupid grin he gets on his face the first two seasons, and I hate that Picard randomnly puts him in charge of the ship at one point!

One word: Yes.
Two words: Yes, please.

YunieXTidusDude. The Orion slave girl is HOT. You failed to mention that, next to her posing on you. xD

That's mine. :) Imagine away.

nextguardian on August 26, 2011, 2:44:16 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWell, yeah she was. Big time ^^' Geordi's VISOR- I was two feet away and I could not see his eyes. Data- he even had the mannerisms down. Like that thing where Data's eyes move when he's thinking.Spock's mother and her Horta- the Horta moved. She had the thing built around an RC car! Seven/Andorian- I hate that guy. Me/Kahless- awesome guy! Emailed him a few times now. Me/Vorik- he was spending 5+ minutes with each fan. Cool guy. Borg- won the contest. 1000 bucks. Probably cost five times that to make the costume. Likely single, and top sorcerer in dungeons and dragons.

Seriously cool costumes on most of these people.

nextguardian on August 26, 2011, 2:45:03 PM

nextguardianAnd I am imagining, believe me! Big time!

YunieXTidus on August 26, 2011, 2:46:13 PM

nextguardianlol, thank you. I think our conversations are rubbing off on me.

I hate to cut the party short, but I need to be up in less than six hours for a seminar for work. Have a good night!

nextguardianI am, too. I could never move well enough to look like I should be on the receiving end of that, sadly enough.

Ah, I get it. It's a three step process.

Oh geez, I haven't seen a Toy Story movie in years! But you're right; I should have recognized that. What scene was it from.

You know who I can't stand? Lt. Commander Shelby, from TNG's "Best of Both Worlds".

YunieXTidus on August 26, 2011, 12:38:31 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol.

Or five or six steps, depending on how much makeup sex i need.

Where Woody and Buzz are fighting underneath Andy's car at the gas station. They both get kicked out of the car, and Buzz is talking to "star command" or whatever. Woody says, "you are a sad, strange little man."

nextguardian on August 26, 2011, 12:42:11 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHonestly, those two looked good together imho.

Certainly there would be no complaints on my end.

Oh, that's right! I remember now! That really was a great movie.

Here, check this out:

YunieXTidus on August 26, 2011, 12:46:22 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYes, but Chuck and Sarah were meant to be together. Bryce is kind of a tool.

;) Only many joyous exclamations to a deity of your choice would escape your lips. No complaints.

Classic! The 3rd one made me cry at the end.

This is kinda cool. Lol at the maid licking her lips. What's it from?

And is Shelby the one who Yar kind of fell in love with? Or is that even the right episode?

nextguardian on August 26, 2011, 12:51:57 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, aren't most men tools?

Absolutely. Although I doubt my ability to form coherent words would exist at that point.

Haven't seen it. Or the second one, come to think. Loved the first one, though!

I'm not sure. I think it's probably some dating sim game. The first part of the title reads 'Komyu', but I can only make our sporadic parts of the rest of the text.

Different episode. Shelby is the Borg expert that is after Riker's job. She's really ambitious, and majorly obnoxious imho.

YunieXTidus on August 26, 2011, 12:54:25 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol not -most-, just a lot.

xD I'm sure you could manage "oh god" and "more," right? ;)

I'm not crazy about the second one. I can't remember much of it, only that it definitely was not my favorite. The third one is great though.

Lol, of course YOU'D be into the dating sims. ;P Jk, jk.

Ohh. Yeah, she's a bit annoying.

nextguardian on August 26, 2011, 12:59:03 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianMajority, we'll say.

I'm sure :D

I'll have to see them both.

Nah, I'm into the music from dating sims! Seriously, a lot of my favorite artists seem to do the music for them. Little Non, Kotoko, Mami Kawada.
Though I'm tempted to try, I don't deny that. I think everyone is at some point. lol, maybe I'll pick up some pointers that way XD

Although that was a good couple episodes. The destruction at Wolf 359 was epic!
Have you thought any more about Amy's thing with the Borg?

YunieXTidus on August 26, 2011, 1:01:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, the fact that guys like you exist.. that gives me hope for the male race. ;P

xD Not quite the reaction I was expecting.

I played a sex one once. It was weird.

Just toyed with it in my head. Why, have you thought of something?

nextguardian on August 26, 2011, 1:08:35 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThanks very much. It's nice to hear that :)

lol, sorry. I cannot say I would know the appropriate reaction.
Holy crap. I'm less informed about sex than Data! I'm a freakin' android --'

Oh? Do you know which one you played? Me, I'd love something like the Higurashi series, but with dating.

Well, I was thinking of a scene wear the Borg invade Ops, and Sisko flashes back to the destruction at Wolf 359. He sees the crew fighting their individual battles, but he can't move. He doesn't realize that all the surivors of Wolf 359, save for those aboard the Enterprise, who came in contact with the Borg cube have been altered. Their resistance to Borg presence has been lessened. A sort of EMP field paralyzes them, leaving them easier to assimilate so that the Borg can collect more data about their defeat.

I was thinking of how cool it would if, after Amy threw Holmes through Bashir's diagnostic table, Odo came in and she could rip him completely in half. That would just make for an awesome scene imho.

YunieXTidus on August 26, 2011, 1:10:21 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, at least Data can get laid. ;)

Um... "Sim Girl," or something.

AWWWW. I couldn't do that to odo!!!! I love Odo! :(

nextguardian on August 26, 2011, 1:15:01 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOw. True. And Tasha was sort of pretty. I liked her much better than Worf if I'm honest.

Hmm. don't know that one. Probably never heard the opening to it.

But you can throw Holmes around? Realy nice there, Amy! lol. I was throwing around solutions to what the Borg would do with him. Odo can't be assimilated, so how do you deal with him?

YunieXTidus on August 26, 2011, 1:16:35 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIt wasn't an official Sim, with any sort of "opening."

Lol there's a difference between a broken collarbone and ripping someone in half!

nextguardian on August 26, 2011, 1:25:43 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAh, okay. Probably why I wasn't familiar with it, at least in passing.

Fair enough. AMy is scary enough without the power of the Borg behind her.
I admit, part of me wants to have this be the time Holmes and Dax get closer simply because he can help somehow. Nothing like a disaster to bring people together, right? But it doesn't fit really. More like Dax and Chief O'Brien are doing the science end of things, while Kira is running the show while Odo handles station security. So I think, after he's healed, I'll have Holmes in a runabout, physically distracting the Borg as much as possible.

YunieXTidus on August 26, 2011, 1:27:40 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusMaybe Jadzia is helping Julian come up with a counteractive for the nanos in her blood, and Dan is hovering, super-concerned, and blah blah etc etc. ?

nextguardian on August 26, 2011, 1:32:30 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAnd from there he gets thrown? I like it. How about something like:

Amy sat up suddenly. Julian and Dax breathed a sigh of relief. Until her head swiveled, machine-like. Both of them backed up, attempting to reset the forcefield that had held Amy until then.

Holmes dove on Amy, trying to hold her down. Nonplusses, Amy seized Holmes by the neck and, after a tense momement, heaved him across the room. He struck a diagnostic console with sickening force chest-first before crumpling to the ground. The console shot angry red sparks as Dax seized Holmes under the arms and dragged him away from the console while Bashir finally got a level-10 forcefield to contain Amy.

Amy reached a hand out to touch her prison. The forcefield buzzed angrily at her touch, but she kept pressing until Bashir pumped a gasseous sedative into the contained area.

YunieXTidus on August 26, 2011, 1:33:58 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNo I was thinking more like, Jadzia is impressed by Dan's concern for someone he barely knows, or something along those lines. :P

Your masochistic streak is really showing through. You've always got to hurt your OC's SOMEHOW. xD

nextguardian on August 26, 2011, 1:51:05 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHow about this, then, were we to keep the above scene:

"I think she's wanted to do that to me since we met," Holmes muttered bitterely, glancing at Amy still struggling for control in the enclosed space. His face smoothed immediately. Her struggle was worse, he knew. Had to remember that...

Bashir adjusted Holmes collarbone and ran a dermal regenerator over the front of him. He'd sustained burns to his face and chest, plus a broken collarbone and three cracked ribs.

"It's sweet of you to worry about her, Daniel," Dax assured him while she tapped at a console.

Bashir squeezed Holmes' ribs a little bit too tight at that moment. The two men looked each other in the eyes, an uspoken rivalry between them budding rapidly.

"Sweet. Right," Holmes murmured, though his cheeks had gone a little pink from Dax's compliment. "Did the DNA you plucked off of me after she threw me help at all?"

Bashir backed off of his grudge for a moment, answering happily. "Yes. We can develop the nanites we need in under an hour with this. Provided we can keep them out of sickbay for that long."

"Provided the station will still be here," Holmes noted.

YunieXTidus on August 26, 2011, 1:52:42 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusPerfect. xD I'm starting to think you should write my part of the story. At least then we'd get something accomplished! xDD

nextguardian on August 26, 2011, 2:00:21 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, nah. I think you're better at this then I am. You have a better way of projecting details. I gloss over them and focus too much on dialogue, I think.

YunieXTidus on August 26, 2011, 2:00:52 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm not as creative as you, though.

nextguardian on August 26, 2011, 2:09:51 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI don't know if I'd agree with that. But if it's true, then the two of us together should solve any potential problems. And make one hell of a fic!

Oh, before I forget (and I will get them up soon!), at the ST convention I lost my head and girl watched a bit. A tantalizing Andorian female here, a couple pretty Trills there. The crowning two, I think, were to Seven look alikes. One in a silver jumpsuit, one in a purple one. I saw 'Silver' first. Wanted a picture. a GIANT Andorian gets in the picture with her. Only now I notice they've been together for a while. Damn. I hate that guy, even though he was very polite.

Then there was 'Purple Seven'. I only saw her once, sadly. She demanded- quite literally- that I get in the picture with her, stating that my 'objections are irrelevant- you will comply'. Hot AND domineering.
Then I didn't see her again the rest of the convention, and she was in a hurry before.
damn again. damn! I'll send those pics via email now.

Oh, and a little smartass friend of mine- I know them from some volunteer work I do- about ten or twelve years old sees the picture of her and I together and says 'is that your sister?'.

Ow. Seriously. Ow. THAT hurt. Funny as hell, but still!

YunieXTidus on August 26, 2011, 2:13:31 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIt's really hard for me to come up with anything more than one-shots. I have a hard time with original plot and storylines, etc.

Lol I could totally see you loving the "you will comply" thing. xD

Lol.

nextguardian on August 26, 2011, 2:17:41 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIf necessary, I'll feed you whatever storylines I can come up with. Really, what is ST but one-shot episodes anyway? Do what I do: Write it like a one-shot, then break it up accordingly. I found that really helped me.

You don't say no to a cute Borg ordering you to comply. I haven't been able to look at that picture without blushing since that 'conversation' we had last night. lol. Of course, I was blushing like an idiot before.
And yes, I did comply. She could've assimilated me at that point for all I cared.
Then there was the Orion slave girl that used me as a stripper pole...I didn't know she posed like that until I saw the picture. And here I was worrying about ruining her paint job!
Oh, duh. I sent you the 'comply' picture before. Not the others, though. Not the Sisko look alike either, I don't believe. When Gmail decides to work for me, I'll get righ on that.

I hate that kid now XD. His sister jumped in and is like 'no, that's his girlfriend'. (wicked smile) 'his IMAGINARY girlfriend'.
I hate kids now, lol.

YunieXTidus on August 26, 2011, 2:19:46 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLmao, I wish I could have seen the stripper pole one. Rofl.

You sent me the sisko look alike, and the kai one, too.

Lol. I love kids. They have the best humor. xD

nextguardian on August 26, 2011, 2:26:24 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt was...hot. In a word. Very hot.

Sisko, Kai, trill spots...Ah, okay, now that Gmail decided to work, I did send you the correct Seven pic. Now for a couple others...

It was really funny. Even I was laughing. I mean, you don't stay gf-less this long and not have a sense of humor about it. Just call me Geordi. Well, except I'm white and hate Wesley Crusher XD

YunieXTidus on August 26, 2011, 2:27:46 PM

nextguardianOh, I do. I believe you there, 100%

I was watching that clip that you sent me from Chuck again. lol, that bottle breaking at the end is hilarious.

Not maybe like you're thinking. You think I'd refuse sex like that? Uh...I'm male. WHat other proof could you possibly need that sex is a top priority? I didn't phrase that right. Don't take it personally. Unless you want to. I can get that. Cause then sex becomes make-up sex, which is supposed to be even better, so...

YunieXTidus on August 25, 2011, 4:46:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI love his expression when Sarah grins her hips into bryce's. Right before Casey says "get close to what's his face".

You'd have to make it up to me before any make-up sex ensued.

nextguardianI can practically hear a sound of protest at that point. And that other, short waiter is funny. The 'get a room comment' just fit so well.

Something tells me you aren't the flowers and chocolates type... XD

Well, I think i'm going to go for the night. Have a good night. Good chatting with you, as always :)

(muttering) Seven then decides that it's time to regenerate and as I'm now part of her collective, I go with her and...

YunieXTidus on August 26, 2011, 11:48:25 AM

YunieXTidusActually, I made that same exact face- because that was ridiculously sexy. That's more of a "jesus how is that LEGAL?" face.

nextguardianlol, I think it's once in a lifetime XD

Yes indeed. Unless Seven was there too...
You know, I was talking with some other Trek fans, and they were telling me that Borg technology isn't far. Think about it: Prosthetic arms/legs/etc, artificial organs/joints,and everything has a microchip.

I'd never thought about that before! It's kind of weird to think about it that way, isn't it? Not saying I 100% believe it or anything, but explained that way, it made some interesting sense.

YunieXTidus on August 25, 2011, 3:03:35 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYou might could if you really really tried.

xD Of COURSE.

That's kind of scary to think about.

So, for your birthday, you think about getting Netflix? 9 bucks a month for thousands of tv shows! and movies!

nextguardian on August 25, 2011, 3:11:10 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHmm...okay. I'll try- but I'll probably have to try to surprise you again. I daresay you don't blush as easily as I do!

Man, Seven could stimulate my cortical node anytime...yeah, I'm back from geekworld now. (shakes head) I know that comment is crude, but it made me lol, so I thought I'd include it.

It really is. If you think of the chances of a massive computer virus, created by one destructive jerk...yikes.

The only problem I've got there is that if I like a show, I'll wind up owning it. But then again, I could try shows this way...hmm. Tempting. Very tempting.

YunieXTidus on August 25, 2011, 3:13:43 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol I'm not sure I know ANYONE who blushes as easily as you do. Not that that's a bad thing. Personally, I think it's cute. ;)

xD That made me snort out loud. I hope I didn't wake my mom up.

Personally, I just want you to get it so you can watch Battlestar Galactica pronto, so you can appreciate the fanfiction I'm going to start working on soon. I know I've said I'll work on at least 3 different fanfictions in the past few months, but this one is shorter than the others were planned to be, and I'm just itching to write it.

nextguardian on August 25, 2011, 3:20:07 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, well, thank you ^^ Crap, I think I just blushed!

lol, sorry. I just couldn't resist XD

Hey, write away! I've got another person telling me I must watch Battlestar Galactica, so I probably will ^^

Any special thoughts on my last update of 'Serving'? I'm trying to show everyone maturing and pairing off, but making it a gradual thing.

YunieXTidus on August 25, 2011, 3:22:50 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHehehe.

I'm definitely going to, once I finish my one-shot for you, and a couple other one-shots to get my writing muscles flexed. But seriously, the fic would mean more to you if you watched the show. (puppy-dog eyes) It would mean a lot to me if you did.

I loved it. Although, I do think you should throw in a bit of Kakashi, just for me. Maybe even KakashixHisako. That would certainly be a twist. xD

nextguardian on August 25, 2011, 3:29:29 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianGood one. Point for you!
Okay, here's a (not very difficult) challenge:
Put me in an ST scenario you think would make me blush. Any series, any (female) person, anytime.

Well, I'll give it a try. I'm actually not a big sci fi person outside of ST, but I'll try ^^

That's a good point. I'll have to work some K-man in. I can't promise Hisako, but the story arc I'm in is...well, it's hard to elaborate without spoiling. For now, just trust me in that it would be difficult at the moment.

YunieXTidus on August 25, 2011, 3:32:26 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLike as a one-shot, or just a little blurb to throw out for you?

You MUST. You absolutely must. I will resort to sexual coercion if I have to.

Lmao. K-man. xDDD I was just throwing ideas out there. I haven't done anything with Hisako in a while, so I offered that so she wouldn't feel neglected. xD

nextguardian on August 25, 2011, 3:37:33 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianJust a quick little scenario. More RP style than anything. No need to plan real heavily or anything.

lol, and I'd want to give in before the coercion why?

Well, I wouldn't want to get on her bad side either XD I think you and Andr28a will wind up being satisfied with what happens. I hope, anyway. Kinda pointless to write if I piss off my last two readers ^^'

YunieXTidus on August 25, 2011, 3:40:52 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOkay, gimme a few to think of something.

You know... That's a very good point.

nextguardian on August 25, 2011, 3:46:18 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianSure thing ^^

Well, it just occured to me ^^

It is. SHe's imposing right through the computer screen that way.
Thank you! I hope it doesn't turn out to be a sour disappointment.

I admit, part of me wanted to make Yuji a Snape-type character. Have him be in league with Danzo, playing a double agent. The prophecy thing shattered that. That, and the fact that he's a milk-drinking dork and an obvious good guy. So obvious he's hard to mistake for bad imho.

YunieXTidus on August 25, 2011, 3:48:17 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYou know what? While I love Snape, I resent that. -I- drink milk. Kakashi drinks milk. What are you trying to say about milk-drinkers?

nextguardian on August 25, 2011, 3:56:08 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianUh, I drank milk too. Until I became lactose-intolerant. I'm a Snape fan, too. But honestly, can you see Yuji as a bad guy who drinks wine or something? Milk is the universal drink choice for innocent good-guy characters!
Kakashi drinks Monster energy drinks! That's why he's always on time...

YunieXTidus on August 25, 2011, 3:59:12 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYou -became- lactose-intolerant? How does that happen?

xD No seriously. Kakashi drinks milk. It helps him sleep at night.

Here's you a perfect "blushing" scenario.

(Voyager) You walk into Seven of Nine's regeneration alcove, hoping to compare statistics on something scientific and nerdy. But lo and behold, what do you find? It looks as though Seven decided to regenerate... naked!

nextguardian on August 25, 2011, 4:02:09 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianGood question. All I knows it, up until a year or so ago, milk, ice cream, and most importantly, macaroni and cheese were no problem. Then- well, big problem.

Is that why he's so lazy in the morning? Or maybe he sleeps at night because he's coming down off his Red Bull at night!

Let me see... My reaction would be:

I gaze open-mouthed at her beauty, probably dropping anything I was carrying in the process. My legs won't work and I can't look away, no matter how hard I try. Then I run for it, knowing that internal sensors will damn me when she wakes up and finds out who had paid her a visit...

YunieXTidus on August 25, 2011, 4:05:02 PM

YunieXTidusThat is SO sad! How can you not eat ice cream, or mac-and-cheese? Those are like, ambrosia for us mere mortals!

xD Who the hell are you kidding? He's lazy ALL DAY LONG.

She tracks you down and blackmails you, quite apathetically, sex for your silence.

nextguardianI know! And the worst part is that the lactose pills that are supposed to enable me to eat these things are hit or miss. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don't. It SUCKS. Major-league suckage here.

Lol, true. Getting meals by blackmailing his students/juniors, showing up three hours late. And dude, comb your freakin' hair!

I fall easily to her feminine charms, and following her instructions to 'turn around' when assimilation tubes pierce my neck. I am assured that 'this will make the process go more smoothly for both of us'...

YunieXTidus on August 25, 2011, 4:10:50 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNo, no. The Kakashi hair is signature. Besides, it's his way of saying "yes, I did just have mad crazy sex. that's why I'm late. again."

xD I can't take this seriously. xDD

nextguardianI never got why a lot of girls like that 'just out of bed' look. I personally enjoy a well groomed female, so I always assumed that feeling went both ways. I mean, I get it NOW, but that baffled me for the longest time! XD

I hear Seven's voice in my mind, even as she speaks to me in reality. She does not force me to do her bidding, but rather I consent, and she is right- things DO go more smoothly, with the sexual habits of thousands upon thousands of species being transmitted to me. It has the effect of 4D porn, making both of us insatiable.
When it's over, she assures me that her nanoprobes will wipe my memory unless...

Lol, I can't either, but it's fun! I could attempt to reciprocate for you, if you so desire.

YunieXTidus on August 25, 2011, 4:20:13 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusPersonally, I can't resist a guy with mussed up hair. It's just so deliciously sexy.

xDDDDD God, okay. SOMEONE is having a good day today. 4D porn... wtf. xDDD

xD I'm good, thanks. (hysterical laughter)

Quick Question: You just met Kuroko in 'Serving'. What was your first impression of her?

YunieXTidus on August 24, 2011, 1:20:02 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNo, he was not.

I like her. Although I think Yuji should have just given in to his desires and gotten laid. (shrug)

nextguardian on August 24, 2011, 1:22:07 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, duh. That was 'Stargate'. I always get those two mixed up for no good reason.

I tried to make her the most normal girl he's met so far. Did that seem about right?

YunieXTidus on August 24, 2011, 1:23:16 PM

YunieXTidusI don't remember him being on Stargate either.

Yes, I think so.

YunieXTidus on August 24, 2011, 1:40:22 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol, you failed to mention which series of Stargate. I was thinking about the original. I do remember him now. xD

Cool, cool. If my replies are half-assed, I'm finding it hard to concentrate tonight for whatever reason.

nextguardian on August 24, 2011, 1:46:00 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI didn't know which one until read that wikipedia article. I just happened to see him. I'm not an avid fan or anything.

That's okay. I'm really tired, so I doubt I've spouting my best material ever.

Oh, crap. Huge lightning storm outside. I've got to go. For some reason, we're really prone to losing power. I'll get back on if it passes. If not, have a good night!

nextguardianI think you got it right, although I can't imagine his shyness ever completely going away. Especially not when it comes to "doin' the nasty", so to speak. But I also think he's a natural romantic. He knows what to do; he's just chicken XD

YunieXTidus on August 23, 2011, 3:59:09 PM

nextguardianJust a wild thought :)

Working on some DS9 tonight. I'm sort of stalled on everything else. I've got ideas; just need to piece them together into a working story.

YunieXTidus on August 23, 2011, 1:06:59 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAwesome! I'm trying to think of a pilot for my doctor who fic while I'm brainstorming, but my thoughts are too scattered to focus on anything with more than 4 chapters. xD

nextguardian on August 23, 2011, 1:14:18 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat happpens. That's what one-shots are for, after all ^^ Yuji wouldn't get laid if not for that XD

YunieXTidus on August 23, 2011, 1:16:20 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol that's true enough. Help me out- how would you see their first time going down? Like what happened beforehand, and how would Yuji react to it?

Nothing too specific, just general stuff to help me flesh it out a bit.

nextguardian on August 23, 2011, 1:29:57 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianLet's see...I would picture Yuji just started to get up a bit of courage when it came to Sakura. The stuff normal couples probably get to on the second date. The flirting, the (playful) teasing, and even a bit of 2nd base plus touching at Sakura's suggestion.

I'd imagine their first time would be stimualated from jealously at other couples who have clearly gone farther. Just sort of the idea getting touched off by some couples making out. And it snowballs from there.

I don't know if that's any help, but I tried ^^'

YunieXTidus on August 23, 2011, 1:49:53 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat helps a bit, actually. What sort of "playful teasing" did you have in mind?

nextguardian on August 23, 2011, 1:52:20 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm glad ^^

Let's see...I would say swatting the butt, some light innuendos. Oh, and stuff like them sharing chopsticks or tea. You know. Cute, semi-innocent stuff like that.

YunieXTidus on August 23, 2011, 2:06:44 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusDo you see Sakura being all old-fashioned girlish and waiting for Yuji to make the first move, or do you see her more like, grabbing a fistful of his hair and pulling him in for a kiss?

nextguardian on August 23, 2011, 2:08:55 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI see her being old-fashioned at first, and Yuji trying to play the right role, but in the end she'd lose it and make the first move. Probably by leaning in. I don't know if I see her totally snapping, but I could see her giving him such an obvious hint that he couldn't possibly miss it.

YunieXTidus on August 23, 2011, 2:16:45 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI think that fits kind of perfectly. xD This is going to be fun to write. Poor Yuji doesn't get enough proper romance action.

nextguardian on August 23, 2011, 2:20:00 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI agree, he doesn't. I'm looking forward to someone else's take on his romance, honestly. I'm looking so forward to this.

In a minute, I've got something I'd love you to critique, if you've got the time and interest.

I'll probably get to work on YuSaku tomorrow evening, unless I get bored during class and decide to start then. xDD Ideas are already churning around.

nextguardian on August 23, 2011, 2:51:49 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianMy big concern is the medical scene. I'm not sure I portrayed Holmes being in enough agony, and I'm not sure I captured Amy's, er, charming bedside manner, either. Not to mention Dax's reaction didn't feel right. I wanted her to be emotional about both the Trill and sympathetic about Holmes' pain, but I think I made her too whiny about it. Not sure ^^' What do you think?

I can't wait to see those freshly-churned ideas put on paper, and then onto the computer, and then, finally, imprinted on my retinas!

YunieXTidus on August 23, 2011, 2:59:45 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI think it worked out perfectly. I loved the little quip about Amy's "wit and sarcasm." I think Dax's reaction kind of fit- whether or not she has hundreds of years of experience, she's still a woman, and women are more in tune with their emotions than men are. It's a fact of life. I think it fit, considering she doesn't deal with other Trill hosts every day.

Lol. I'm working out the intro right now, which I'll share with you in a bit, if you'll still be up.

nextguardian on August 23, 2011, 3:02:47 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI wanted to make it clear that Amy is Bashir right-hand woman. That, and because he has experience with this surgery, I figured Amy would defer to him. I had hoped to make it more Amy and Holmes oriented, but it just didn't fit.
Should I have had Dax watch more of the surgery before Sisko pulled her away? Or maybe add something about her reaction to Holmes' scream of pain?

Awesome! I can't wait! I'll be around for sure.

YunieXTidus on August 23, 2011, 3:04:41 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI think you're overthinking it. It was perfect, I quickly picked up on the emotional vibe you were trying to get across.

Do you prefer Sakura with longer hair, or shorter hair?

YunieXTidus on August 23, 2011, 3:05:05 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI mean, does Yuji prefer her with longer or shorter hair?

nextguardian on August 23, 2011, 3:13:26 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, good. I think you're right. I've got to be overthinking it. Now comes the good part of the story, which I'm looking forward to writing. Dax's reaction, Holmes' personality with the Trill inside him (which is creepy as hell to write, I might add, given how Holmes is similar to me), and the plot of how the Trill was attacked unfolds.

I think her short hair is good. Yuji agrees with me. He also says I'm a complete prick, but that's besides the point. He likes you now, since he's finally going to get laid XD

YunieXTidus on August 23, 2011, 3:15:00 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAnother question- where would you see Yuji taking Sakura for their multiple-month anniversary? A more casual setting, like a higher-end bar, or a full-out black-tie ballroom kind of thing?

nextguardian on August 23, 2011, 3:23:54 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, good question. I see him bringing her back to a special spot. Someplace somewhat dark and private. Maybe a teahouse where they had a special date. Something that a lot of guys wouldn't remember. You know, the cheesy romantic thing where it's like 'yeah, this was where we had our first kiss. Remember the thing with the green tea?'

YunieXTidus on August 23, 2011, 3:31:54 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol that's pretty darn cute. Is that something you yourself would do?

Just about ready to share the intro with you, btw.

nextguardian on August 23, 2011, 3:34:18 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt is, actually. I figure it's the sort of thing that would be quietly impressive and much more intimate than a larger venue.

Awesome! I can't wait!

YunieXTidus on August 23, 2011, 3:37:34 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHere you go! The intro, as promised. xD

Sakura danced around her room excitedly, throwing a mix of clothes on her bed and sorting through her rather large collection of shoes. It had been exactly three months- in about two hours- since Yuji, her dark-haired, girl-shy boyfriend, plucked up the courage to ask her out. She hadn’t been expecting it, but when she got home from work- Kakashi was useless, she practically had to run the village herself- there was a bouquet of red roses on her doorstep, along with a note with some sappy poetry, as well as the time he was picking her up for their date. She beheld herself in the mirror as she held a green, flirty dress against her chest before discarding it -too dressy¬- and noted the way her eyes sparkled with exhilaration. Tonight’s the night, she thought with determination. I’m not letting him leave until we’re both naked and sweaty.

Quickly stripping down to skin, she rummaged around her drawers until she found her sexiest underwear set. She slipped it on, opting for a simple short black skirt and a loosely fitting (but hugged in all the right places) long-sleeve cashmere sweater that just happened to be the exact shade of green as her eyes. Well, that’s what Yuji told her when he gave it to her for her birthday, anyway. She quickly tousled some gel through her hair, giving it a slightly mussed, wavy look that would hold up to the autumn chill. Her doorbell rang then, and she ran down the stairs, stuffing her feet hastily into her boots before flinging the door open. Her bright green eyes locked with Yuji’s warm brown ones, and an easy smile settled on both of their faces.

“Ready to go?” Yuji asked, the gentle baritone of his voice never failing to soothe her. He held out a hand, which she took readily. Their fingers threaded together, and they stepped out to face the night.

Wow, that was really cool! I can't dance, so I'm especially jealous. I think I'm going to learn now. That dance. Specifically.

YunieXTidus on August 22, 2011, 2:53:21 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLmao. I could see you as the waiter.... (no offense.)

If you learn that dance, I will totally be your partner. That's like, my favorite dance now. Btw, it's actually not the Lambada. I looked it up. Idk what the dance is actually called.

nextguardianIt was indeed. Wonderfully so. Whoever that was did a heck of a job!

YunieXTidus on August 22, 2011, 3:15:34 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAs of yet, it isn't an official dance. Whoever your dance partner is would have to be willing to learn a tango and then ad-lib that sort of stuff with you.

nextguardian on August 22, 2011, 3:25:28 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt would be so much easier if it was an official dance I could attempt to learn. Oh well. I've got two left feet anyway, I suspect. If I keep watching that, I'm sure I'll get motivated to learn!

YunieXTidusWatching some Chuck. I'm actually thinking about doing another slash, but Burn Notice this time. I'm waiting for the correlating BN episodes to download, and tomorrow I'm going to watch them, then start on it.

nextguardian on August 21, 2011, 3:21:13 PM

nextguardianI"ve got a quick change in my request. I'm curious about something: How would you write a regular romance between Sakura and Yuji?

YunieXTidus on August 21, 2011, 3:27:20 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLike, "they've been dating for a while and decide to make love," or "they met at a bar and through a night of no-strings-attached passionate sex, they decide to have a relationship"?

nextguardian on August 21, 2011, 3:33:44 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm curious about how you'll do a slash with BN, I admit.

Like they've been dating, but haven't had sex yet. Their first time, plus maybe a couple other hot little sessions. And even a bit of the making out that leads to it would be great!

YunieXTidus on August 21, 2011, 3:37:18 PM

YunieXTidusWell, how far have you gotten into the show?

Perfect. I'll have fun with this one!

nextguardian on August 21, 2011, 3:40:18 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNot much. I'm a pretty casual watcher. I only watch really because Bruce Cambell is one of my favorite actors. I love Fiona's character, but I think there could have been someone better to play her.

And I'll have fun reading it. I don't know; I've wanted to do a good romance between the two of them, but it keeps getting sidetracked for some reason.

Thanks for the comment on 'Serving'. You're right, but seriously- do you see Yuji having a one night stand? It doesn't suit his character or something. He's supposed to be this paragon of virtue that suffers constantly. Although I was tempted to have him and Kuroko hook up.
Oh! She's the girl who looks similar to this girl:

YunieXTidusWell, have you met the British assassin Gilroy? 3rd season. He's first introduced in episode 11, Friendly Fire.

You know, I could, and I couldn't. I could see him getting to a breaking point, but the normal him wouldn't do something like that.

The link was broken. :(

nextguardian on August 21, 2011, 3:49:30 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAh, okay, yes. I do know him, vaguely.

This part was born from two things:

1. Unless you're me, every guy gets hit on eventually. Hasn't happen to Yuji yet.

2. I didn't think he'd be that adventurous his first time out, so to speak.

Here are two. First one is her normal clothes; second is a wallpaper of her I like.

YunieXTidusBurn Notice Season 3 SPOILERS! Just so you know!

Well, at the very last episode Gilroy was in, he actually did a kind thing for Michael. Touching, really. Gilroy is badly beaten, buckled into his car with a bomb strapped to his chest. Michael gets in the car, but Gilroy warns him off, saying, "Did I mention I have a bomb attached to my chest?" Michael actually looks a bit teary-eyed, and Gilroy puts his hand over Michael's, saying something like, "You better run along, now."

There was a little hint at a further sort of relationship with them. So I'm going to do a slash sort of "when they're not on-camera," while still being canon. Ish.

nextguardian on August 21, 2011, 4:04:39 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, okay. I can see where you're going with that. Makes sense to me. Good luck! Let me know when it's up.

I've been going back and forth on whether to post my Voyager fic or not. Since you're the only one reading right now, I probably won't. I'm tempted to continue it, though. Just not sure what I'll do with it.

YunieXTidus on August 21, 2011, 4:05:55 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI just think the dynamic of their relationship is so interesting, and would be way too much fun to toy with to pass up.

Do it! I bet andr28 would read it!

nextguardian on August 21, 2011, 4:17:05 PM

nextguardianI get that feeling too, albeit usually with girl/girl or guy/girl pairs. So I totally get where you're coming from.

nextguardianAlright, can do. Will do, actually.

Okay, for mine, then: How about Sakura and Yuji together, both dominated by Ino at first, including public humiliation and a threesome (or more). Anything else you want to throw in, go for it. I love the irony of Sakura being dominated by Ino, though. How's that?

YunieXTidus on August 21, 2011, 2:20:13 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWow. Bold choice. What sort of public humiliation are you thinking of?

nextguardian on August 21, 2011, 2:26:56 PM

I can't wait to give Holmes his Trill spots ^^

YunieXTidusOh, no no. You don't get off the hook that easy. Be more specific. What did you have in mind when you suggested that?

nextguardianSorry to hear that. I know how that goes --'

On another note, I finished your story. It was well written, of course. And I admit that I'm not into *that sort of thing*, but that aside, it was pretty provocative. You did really nice work. Very impressive :)

YunieXTidus on August 21, 2011, 12:38:32 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusProvocative. I like that. If you want I can write a more traditional pairing for you. Any suggestions?

For some reason, the past few weeks have really got me interested in male/male pairings. Not sure why.

nextguardian on August 21, 2011, 12:47:22 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHmm...good question. Nothing besides my usual OC ideas, I'm afraid. I'll keep thinking, though ^^

IT's understandable. It's a curiosity, I think. Like, it's taboo, which makes it hot. Same sex stuff, I mean. From my perspective, two girls together is hot. You know what I mean XD Almost talked myself into a very awkward corner there.

YunieXTidus on August 21, 2011, 12:49:47 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI don't mind oc's.

Well, it's like, in a guy/girl relationship, the guy is usually looked at as the dominant figure. So in a guy/guy relationship, it's a battle for dominance that they otherwise wouldn't experience. It's intoxicating.

nextguardian on August 21, 2011, 12:57:28 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'd love to see how you'd handle an AzaYuji fic. Albeit with their names changed to something else.

I can understand that thinking. Although in my case, I prefer male/female femdom. Well, duh, I created Azami for that, I guess. But I also enjoy that sort of thing when it's a girl/girl deal.

YunieXTidus on August 21, 2011, 1:02:24 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWhy change the names?

I dunno, but bondage really turns me off. I mean, mild kink is one thing, like one party holding the other's wrists so they can't move, or slight exhibitionism, but chains and whips and stuff... giving total control or receiving it... it just feels wrong.

nextguardian on August 21, 2011, 1:17:22 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianPartly because I want to keep my OC's apart from some of that, but my first thought was that you'd probably get more readers if you didn't make it like an out and out anime OC thing. Just based on my own experience at ff. They might take to the story more if the characters had different names. (Shrug) That's only a suggestion, of course, on both counts.
Although, if you're writing a 'normal' story, maybe something between Yuji and Sakura would be better?

I'm curious about it. Not saying whether or not I'd like it, but I'm definitely curious. I think it's because I object to guys treating girls roughly, so if it were reversed it would seem justified somehow? lol I don't know. Maybe I'm just a masochist.

Oh, one more idea struck me for our co-op fic. Besides Bajoran terrorists, then having them join the maquis, I had a couple ideas:

-Holmes' past will be revealed, and it will involve Voyager. I want to have him thinking about it for a few episodes, until it all comes to a head. Maybe in an episode where a Voyager transmission reaches DS9 through a spatial anamoly. They could be requesting help, leaving Amy, Dax, Holmes, and Kira to investigate the source of the call. They could try to create an artificial wormhole (been done, I know, but:) based off their knowledge of the Bajoran wormhole. Holmes could eventually reveal what happened to him, and that could coincide with a maquis/bajoran terrorist attack on them on the Defiant. That motivates Holmes to eliminate the groups, making him more aggressive. That's his ticket out of being a raw babyface. Make him more of an edgy protagonist.

For Amy, I was thinking that maybe she and Bashir should get into a relationship almost right away. That way, you could tell about Amy's exciting world as a girl in a relationship (plus the hardships. It would be different from O'brien since they aren't married) while I could showcase Yuji's desire for Dax.

YunieXTidus on August 21, 2011, 1:22:26 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHow do you think I should categorize it, then?

Honestly, a little roughness is totally welcome from time to time. Like me, I wouldn't mind some rough sex now and then, as long as that isn't ALL it was.

I like that idea, and yeah I think that makes sense. It's gonna take me a little while to be focused enough to do anything more than one-shots for a little while, though. Once school gets into the swing of things, that shouldn't be too much of a problem. I'm very scatterbrained in the summer.

nextguardian on August 21, 2011, 1:31:25 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm not sure. Whatever you would normally do/categorize it as is probably fine. I just don't want people to give you crap, that's all. Do what's comfortable for you. It's not any less comfortable for me or anything ^^

Fair enough. changing it up would be a good thing, for sure.

That's okay; take your time. I'm just making plans so I can jot some ideas down.

I've just started to plan for Chicago. Hopefully, it'll all work out well ^^ If not, there are others coming up a little later on, in New Jersey and stuff. Dragoncon has Robert Duncan Mcneill coming. He'd be cool to meet.

YunieXTidus on August 21, 2011, 1:37:03 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat's cute that you're worried about me. Although, the first submission I did to ff.net was the one you read. So I wouldn't know how to categorize it so I wouldn't "get crap", as you say. :P I'm honestly not worried. I'll just say it was a request.

Right, Chicago's our date! I'll show up in a red bikini....

nextguardian on August 21, 2011, 1:39:55 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianLol, well, if you decide you want to do something more hardcore, feel free to put Yuji in his first threesome! Or, actually, I've been thinking about that one bit you talked about, where you were going to have Sakura turn Yuji into a girl. That would be cool to read.

lol, right! Let me know if you actually do plan on going. I'm still not 100% sure yet, but I'm working on it! Still searhing to find the best deals price wise.

YunieXTidus on August 21, 2011, 1:44:55 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHaha, well, I'll give it some thought.

Lol I'd love to, but I have like, no money at all, at the time being, so... Probably not going to happen any time soon. Maybe next year.

nextguardian on August 21, 2011, 1:49:33 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNo pressure to do any of those. Just ideas that have struck me/I've remembered.

Same for me, except I'm more interested in saving for Vegas next year. I like Nimoy, but it's hard to justify the amount of money it would take me to go see him.

YunieXTidus on August 21, 2011, 1:55:55 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusExactly how is it hard to justify that? It's LEONARD NIMOY!!! *swoon*

nextguardian on August 21, 2011, 1:57:43 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianChicago doesn't have the biggest convention. There are only a handful of other people there. The one in Vegas, however, had over 70 stars. It's easier to say "I paid that much for 70 people". (Shrug) at least for me. I'd love to meet Nimoy, though.

YunieXTidusALSO, You'll probably want to read this plot summary of the show if you want to understand some of the storyline hints I put in the story.

Chuck Bartowski (Zachary Levi) is in his late twenties, living in the Echo Park section of Los Angeles, California and working at a dead end job as a computer expert in the Nerd Herd at the Burbank Buy More a large retail consumer-electronics chain comparable to "Best Buy", with his best friend, Morgan Grimes. Chuck is intelligent but lacks direction. His sister Ellie and her boyfriend (husband as of the end of season 2) Devon "Captain Awesome" Woodcomb are doctors who are constantly encouraging Chuck to make progress in his professional and romantic life.
At the beginning of the series, Chuck receives an e-mail from Bryce Larkin, his former Stanford University roommate, who became a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) agent and was suspected of going rogue. The entire merged database of the CIA and National Security Agency (NSA) — called the Intersect — is subliminally embedded into Chuck's brain via encoded images when Chuck opens the email. Both agencies dispatch agents - Major John Casey from the NSA and Agent Sarah Walker from the CIA — to retrieve the data.
With the government's computer housing the Intersect destroyed in Bryce's attempted escape, Chuck's brain holds the only copy. He is recruited to use the knowledge he now possesses to help the government thwart assassins and international terrorists — upending his previously mundane life. The Intersect causes Chuck to receive involuntary "flashes" of information from the database, activated by certain triggers around him (such as faces, voices, in-context keywords, and various objects). In order to preserve their safety, Chuck must keep his second occupation a secret from his family and friends. Casey and Walker are assigned to watch over Chuck. They are forced to establish an uneasy alliance and secret identities; Walker poses as Chuck's girlfriend and takes a cover job at a local fast food restaurant near the Buy More while Casey reluctantly goes undercover as part of the Buy More team.

nextguardianCool, on all counts. I'll start reading ASAP. This is up on FAC, right? Or elsewhere? Or not yet? I really love the Intersect concept. That really sounds fascinating.

lol, with Seven, I tried to find her again later. About the only one I saw without a boyfriend or husband. But damned if I could find her again!
The one with Sisko, We were supposed to be posed like he was addressing me as a junior officer.
As for the last one...that Kai Winn was incredible! She even told me to 'Walk with the prophets, child' in a perfect voice.

The spots were my Mom's work, actually. So they're authentic (and hard as hell to get off!). I had been sporting a light five o'clock shadow, but shaved it off for that pic.
Hopefully I'm not totally ugly and ruined your image of Ensign Holmes!

A clip from an episode that I actually haven't seen yet, but it kind of captures the essence of their relationship.

Nah, you shouldn't talk so poorly of yourself! (although i caught the 'fishing for compliments' immediately ;]) You're pretty cute. I love your hair though. It's the kind of hair girls have fantasies of running their fingers through.

Hah, no fishing, believe it or not! Not for a compliment, anyway. I was curious to see what you would say, but I expected a joke. Needless to say, I rather like what you said instead ^^ (blushing, of course!)

YunieXTidus on August 20, 2011, 4:54:04 PM

nextguardianI will. And thank you again for the compliments! I was sure you were going to find a joke in there somewhere! So either way, now you can picture Ensign Holmes probably more clearly. He and Jadzia will look good together XD Which reminds me- I have a partially completed BashirXAmy sort of double date thing with Holmes and Dax. Hopefully coming soon!

I have, but they tend to frown on OC's. Though DS9 might be okay...

nextguardianCool. Okay, one more note, then. We should flesh out some unique personality traits and quirks for our characters now, and inject them into the episodes. Like maybe Bashir and Amy will use some British expressions and Holmes won't understand what they're talking about. We could illustrate that Holmes has no social life, but he'll talk to Quark for some reason. I'd like to establish a friendship between him and Jake Sisco, too. And a hatred for Worf later on.

Thanks. I'll get it done, and it'll be worth the wait :)

Here's an idea- I'm going to the Star Trek convention in Chicago in about a month. It's Leonard Nimoy's last convention. How about you and your red bikini show up...
Seriously, though, as of now I'm going alone. Which is weird for me, for some reason.

Lol, okay, you're forgiven ^^ I've been working on a DS9 one-shot, so I can't talk.

I did indeed! It's still in the works at the moment. I've been more focused on Star Trek and 'Serving' (which you'll understand shortly). But it's still coming!

nextguardianMe neither. I'm bursting to tell people about this! I swear, I haven't felt so happy and free in a long time. It was like sex (I imagine XD).

Good luck getting my shirt off. lol. Seriously shy here.

YunieXTidus on August 19, 2011, 8:18:22 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm back in wifi range now, so tell away!

Lol don't worry. That shirt IS coming off.

nextguardian on August 19, 2011, 12:24:49 PM

nextguardianOkay, I will. I got hugged by Terry Ferrel. She remembered it was my birthday all three times I saw her. She went out of her way to personalize my autograph, completely ignoring the objections that the people putting on the convention were giving. She was sweet as all get-out, and she sat next to me at the Deep Space Nine breakfast.
The girl next to me (before Terry sat down) is going to be on William Shatner's new documentary, 'Fan-atics', and insisted Terry sit next to me.
I was also hugged by Chase Masterson (Leeta, the dabo girl/Rom's girlfriend), who was also incredibly sweet.
I went to get tickets to get Kate Mulgrew's autograph, and I walked away with William Shatner AND Sir Patrick F'ing Stewart tickets, too, which had been sold out for months!
I met Vorik, who was talking with fans for 5-10 minutes each, I met the original Emporer Kahless, who couldn't do enough for me. I was assimilated by two borg girls, the proud owner of an Orion slave girl, and was blessed by THE best Kai Winn look-alike I've ever seen. I met a Commander Sisko lookalike, and talked him into posing with me like he was address a junior officer (me). I met a Captain Rachel Garrett, saw Garrett Wang, Ethan Phillips, and Leanord Nimoy.
Just...wow. I hate real life now. I swear, I haven't been so blissful in years. It was like...well, a collective, I guess.
No, I did not get any action, as every damned Trill or Borg girl was married or had a boyfriend (including one big f'ing Andorian that I did NOT want to piss off).

Good luck. You'll have to catch me first, then hold me down and rip it off, THEN make sure I can't escape!

YunieXTidus on August 19, 2011, 12:27:39 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh my gosh! That sounds like the weekend of a lifetime! How did you react with the Terry thing? xD

Well, I figure you'd be too distracted with the red bikini to make much of a protest.

nextguardian on August 19, 2011, 12:38:02 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI...well, I managed to not say anything stupid. Hardly managed to say anything at all. She really is like Dax in person. The same manner of speech, and the sort of casual air. Just very approachable. unless you're frightened of girls. In my case, I managed a goofy smile (which did not leave my face for days. Still hasn't, actually) and we exchanged a few words. When I get the pictures up, you'll see exactly what I mean. We were both in the middle of a laugh when the photographer snapped our picture, so we've both got these odd, goofy smiles.

Hmm, it might just do that. lol. But if I get running, I'm hard to catch, so just bear that in mind. You might have to surprise me altogether.

YunieXTidus on August 19, 2011, 12:39:39 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI really can't wait to see these pictures.

I'm sure you'd freeze like a deer in the headlights if I threatened to kiss you, eh? ;)

nextguardian on August 19, 2011, 12:52:06 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm hoping I can get them up tomorrow. I want to take a few more of me in my uniform, and I'm going to try to pose as Ensign Holmes in some of them, to help get some creative juices flow for our co-op fic.

Right now, I am battling GIMP. I hate this stupid program. I damn it to hell! It won't do what I want, and it's really pissing me off! I'm trying to cut the background out of a picture with the scissor tool (I want to see how I'd look as a security officer on the bridge of the Defiant), and it won't let me crop my selection. Damn it to hell!

I would freeze, and then I'd try to see if you were serious or not. Most likely. Had you been there this past weekend, my guard was totally down. I was actually hunting- yes, hunting- for a female companion! This one Seven of Nine look alike...
Ahem.
Anyway, let's just say I was rather open to suggestion. And I hadn't had a drop of Romulan Ale! (Only because I couldn't find any of the stuff!)

YunieXTidus on August 19, 2011, 12:56:28 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, I look forward to seeing them all.

I have no idea what GIMP is. But I use MS Paint. xD

Well, if there's one thing you need to get straight about me, it's that I never say something that I have no intention of backing up. If I say I'm going to kiss you if you don't take your shirt off, you damn well better start stripping. Unless, well, you WANT the kiss. ;)

You, hunting? I can't believe this.

nextguardian on August 19, 2011, 1:10:06 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianShouldn't be too long, hopefully ^^

Lucky you. I HATE this program. -- It's a free download, if you're so inclined to try. You might be able to figure out something I can't. Blagh. Stupid thing.

Likewise, you'd better try to catch me then XD

I know. I couldn't believe it myself! Still can't. So completely out of character for me...

YunieXTidus on August 19, 2011, 1:12:54 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOuch. The thought of kissing me sending you running? That's a little pow for the ego.

I wish I'd seen that!

nextguardian on August 19, 2011, 1:23:14 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNo, it's not the kiss. It's like when you try to pill a dog, and they know the pill is in the bread, so they eat the bread and spit out the pill. Oh hell, that metaphor isn't helping. I mean that I know stripping me would come next, so I would run for it. The kiss I probably wouldn't object to.

It was so weird. I chased this one trill all over...boyfriend. A borg...husband. Another trill...not as good looking up close.

YunieXTidus on August 19, 2011, 1:30:22 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol well, I guess I'll just have to bank on my bikini. Although the thought of chasing you down sounds appealing, too. xD I'd have to tackle you to keep you still.

No love for the lonely nerd. xDD

nextguardian on August 19, 2011, 1:34:44 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat might be fun. If I get to the elevator, then I think I win. But I have a bad sense of direction, so you might have an advantage there XD

lol, pretty much. Nope, no objection XD

YunieXTidus on August 19, 2011, 1:38:26 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNot if I call the elevator back down before you can get off of it! xD

nextguardian on August 19, 2011, 1:43:09 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYep, then I'm screwed XD

So, how about talking about our Co-op fic for a minute? I've got a couple ideas, if you're interested.

YunieXTidus on August 19, 2011, 1:55:38 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusFreudian slip? ;)

Sure thing. Speaking of, I should get to work on that soon. xD

nextguardian on August 19, 2011, 2:03:03 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat's me thinking of another word while typing. --' Blah. Whatever.

Okay. This is what I was thinking:

Once we finish 'Carpe Diem', let's jump to the Trill episode, where Holmes takes in an injured Trill. This will give Holmes a chance to define himself and form a connection with Dax, as well as Amy. Amy and Bashir will need to do the surgery, and we'll make a big fuss about how complex and risky it is. After that, Amy can be assigned to monitor Holmes' behavior.

Following that, we skip to an Amy dominated episode, since Holmes is pretty much defined for the time being. I was thinking about a massive medical emergency happening, where Bashir is, by the chain of command, in charge of the entire station, leaving Amy to handle the majority of the medical work.

Anything to add/subtract? Any objections? These are just some rough ideas for now. If you've got any details you'd like to add, just say so. Or if you hate the scenario, that's fine, too.

YunieXTidus on August 19, 2011, 2:05:37 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol it works in that context, I just thought it was funny.

That sounds great! I just need to finish up my bit of carpe diem. xD

YunieXTidus on August 19, 2011, 2:06:34 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAlso, didn't you have a one-shot or two you were doing for me? Not nagging, just refreshing my (and your) memory.

I'm doing okay. I have to be up in, like, five hours to get to the airport. It's finally almost time for the ST convention. I should be checking in on FAC at some points, provided my laptop doesn't go kablooey.

YunieXTidus on August 10, 2011, 1:35:11 PM

nextguardianAfter I got hacked once, I shyed away from that sort of thing. But that's not a bad idea for a short term trip. Either way, I'll be in touch, I'm sure ^^

Hey, it's good to have dreams! XD

Before I forget- I updated Serving. It's just getting into the arc I've really been looking forward to sharing ^^

YunieXTidus on August 10, 2011, 1:45:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh right! I need to read that.

Also, I think I'm going to try my hand at a Doctor Who fanfiction.

nextguardian on August 10, 2011, 1:52:46 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianEnjoy ^^

Hey, I'd read it ^^ Go for it!

Oh, I came up with a new ST storyline for us. O'Brien, Amy and Holmes are checking out the lower levels of DS9, and they're ambushed by a Cardassian who has been hiding down there. He's been there so long he doesn't know that the occupation of Bajor has ended. He holds Holmes and O'Brien hostage, along with a couple unfortunate security officers that come to help.

YunieXTidus on August 10, 2011, 1:54:30 PM

YunieXTidusThat kinda sounds awesome!

Oh. Do you have netflix? Or hulu plus?

YunieXTidus on August 10, 2011, 2:28:32 PM

YunieXTidusNot just movies. Hundreds of tv shows. Lots of anime. Burn Notice, In Plain Sight, Doctor Who... Lots of stuff.

nextguardianYou might just have sold me on that :)

Well, I'm going to get going. I have to be up in a short while, so I'm going to try to get some rest. Ciao for now, friend!

nextguardianHolmes: No, no, I doubt that. I'm far too old fashioned. The night will probably end in disaster. Then again, Lt Dax is adventurous. She might find me fascinating. Sort of like the way Commander Sisko finds baseball fascinating. I'll be 'just a friend'. You wait.

YunieXTidus on August 7, 2011, 4:58:37 PM

YunieXTidusAmy: Wow, way to think positively. Haven't you ever heard of positive self-talk?

nextguardian on August 7, 2011, 5:00:55 PM

nextguardianHolmes: Positive works for people with experience being positive. Some of us are just honest. I mean, really. What on earth have I got to offer someone with eight lifetimes worth of experiences?

YunieXTidus on August 7, 2011, 5:03:03 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: Um... Obviously you have SOMETHING to offer, or she wouldn't have said yes.

Amy: (throws him another dirty look)

YunieXTidus on August 7, 2011, 5:09:58 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: (huge sigh) Dan, you're an attractive guy. You have a very unique way of looking at the universe. Even after eight lifetimes, I'm sure Dax could stand a new perspective on things.

nextguardian on August 7, 2011, 5:15:18 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHolmes: That's kind of you to say, Amy. Almost uncharacteristically so. (grins) But thank you. Alright, I'm going to make this work! One date or one hundred, this will work.
Wait...if it DOESN'T work, then won't working in Ops with her be awkward?


Well, I think I'm going to go for the night. The lack of sleep is finally catching up with me. Maybe tomorrow Holmes will finally get dressed and see Dax, lol! Have a good night. Pleasure chatting with you, as always!

Holmes: (Getting ready for his date with Dax. He's got his uniform on, shoes, commbadge, and pips polished. Steps out of his room to talk to Amy and Bashir)
What do you think? Have I forgotten anything?

YunieXTidus on August 7, 2011, 1:42:11 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus(Amy and Julian share an incredulous look)

Amy: (spins Dan around and pushes him back into his room) you cannot seriously be thinking of wearing your uniform. You're both off-duty!

Julian: (nods, trying not to laugh)

nextguardian on August 7, 2011, 2:04:07 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHolmes: (Through the door) I look like an idiot when I'm not in uniform! (Grumbles, but throws on black dress pants, a white undershirt, and a black longsleeve shirt. He's got on some sort of chain around his neck. Steps back out)

I'm keeping the shoes. So...better?

YunieXTidus on August 7, 2011, 2:13:06 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: (cheeky tone) You look like an idiot no matter what you wear, Dan. (reaches up and takes the chain from around his neck, then steps back to look at him thoughtfully) That's a lot of black...

nextguardian on August 7, 2011, 2:15:03 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHolmes: If I look like an idiot regardless, let me look like a comfortable idiot and put my uniform back on! And what's wrong with black? Am I supposed to wear something that brings out her eyes or something?

YunieXTidus on August 7, 2011, 2:33:24 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: (playful shove) Oh, come on. You look nice. And black... it's... it washes you out.

nextguardian on August 7, 2011, 2:39:49 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHolmes: It does? So, lighter colors, then? Like...
(Changes quick to white shirt; keeps the pants).
Maybe this, then?

YunieXTidus on August 7, 2011, 2:42:28 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusJulian: Are you averse to a bit of colour in your wardrobe?

nextguardian on August 7, 2011, 2:52:56 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHolmes: A bit. I never felt like I looked mature when wearing colors. How about this- let's go to Garak's and get me something custom made. you two tell him what to make, and I'll pay. For Dax, money is no object...

YunieXTidus on August 7, 2011, 3:00:53 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: (snorts, then busts up laughing) oh... that's... that's too much. (wipes away the tears) good lord, Dan.

nextguardian on August 7, 2011, 3:03:22 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHolmes: Something in that was funny? (looks to Bashir) Women?! Got anything that can make me understand them?
(glances at Amy with fake anger) Well, if you're done chortling at my expense, let's head to Garak's...

YunieXTidus on August 7, 2011, 3:09:29 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusJulian: Well, I think it was your cliche comment about Dax and money.

Amy: Yeah... lead the way, Romeo.

nextguardian on August 7, 2011, 3:11:19 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHolmes: Gimme time; I'll invent material of my own that doesn't suck eventually.

(leads them to Garak's)

Garak: Welcome! Ensign Holmes has told me you two have the carte blanche to decide what he wears. So, tell me, and I shall create!

YunieXTidus on August 7, 2011, 3:15:22 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus(By the way, I see this not-so-subtle ploy for getting date advice. ;) )

Amy: Well, I was thinking... Well, first, no black. Nice slacks that don't scream "prom," or "business meeting." A dressy shirt, maybe dark colours? Nothing too dark. Shoes... Well, I think Dan's trustworthy enough in THAT department.

nextguardian on August 7, 2011, 3:18:46 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardian((I won't object to any tips I pick up ;) ))

Garak: Alright...let me see here...(measuring Holmes) I think maybe a light blue shirt...yes, with a collar...that'll bring out her eyes.

Holmes: How do you know who I'm going to see, Garak?

Garak: I'm sure the good doctor has given you all sorts of ideas about my supposed 'sordid past'...and the pants...perhaps a navy blue...yes, yes...

(lol, I just described my old school uniform)


I've got to be off for a bit. I'll be back in a little while, if you care to continue ^^

YunieXTidus on August 7, 2011, 3:23:00 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: No, no. Light blue and then navy? Clashing, much? No offense, Garak. You're a marvelous tailor, but sometimes color isn't your strong-suit.

Lol nice. I'm not sure if I'll still be up, but sure.

nextguardian on August 7, 2011, 4:20:37 PM

nextguardian((Somehow it worked back in grade school XD))

Garak: Oh? (amused) Well then, why don't you select the color and fabric, and I'll put my 'marvelous' skills to work with whatever you decide.

YunieXTidus on August 7, 2011, 4:23:11 PM

nextguardian on August 7, 2011, 4:28:00 PM

nextguardianGarak: I think the pants should stay...but we need something that will compliment both the gentleman and the lady. I'm afraid I don't get to see Lt Dax very much. What color are her eyes? Since i don't think we could match her spots.

That's understandable ^^

YunieXTidus on August 7, 2011, 4:30:23 PM

nextguardianHolmes: Doctor, even I know better than to answer that question...

Garak: Then what about a white shirt with a bit- just a bit- of a light blue pattern? A collar, button-down...maybe with bits of blue in a swirl...hmmm...

YunieXTidus on August 7, 2011, 4:39:19 PM

Nothing too major, Lt. You COULD join me for dinner tonight, if you happen to be free...

YunieXTidusAmy: (punches the air, then looks anywhere but Dan, whistling)

nextguardianHolmes: (Big smile, but absolutely surprised. Exhales with relief)
Sounds good to me. Shall we at Ops, and go from there?

((My next reply is going to be slow; sorry about that! Have a quick errand to do))

YunieXTidus on August 5, 2011, 3:06:38 PM

YunieXTidusDax: Well, you could pick me up at my quarters. Unless you'd prefer to dine in?

Amy: (gives you a thumbs up)

Quite alright, though I may be asleep.

nextguardianHolmes: (Stumbles a bit with his words) Uh, well, sure. I can come by your quarters. Yes, that would be fine. See you then. Holmes out.

(Sighs with relief)

How the hell did that just happen?



Well, if I've missed you, have a good night. I'm not sure I'll be on tomorrow.

nextguardianlmao, good answer! I was going to say I'd either be human, Vulcan, Trill, or a Changeling. I didn't even think about the sexual reprucussions of my decision!

YunieXTidus on August 3, 2011, 12:28:06 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, there's your problem. Always weigh the sexual repercussions first.

nextguardian on August 3, 2011, 12:30:02 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI just don't think of these things! XD

So, what's up tonight?

YunieXTidus on August 3, 2011, 12:33:49 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusPlaying ffx again! I'm getting frustrated. There's this minigame where you have to collect 7 blue butterflies within 30 seconds. There are red ones too, and if you touch a red one you're called into a battle. Which wastes some of your countdown. I always hit ONE red butterfly, and I allllmost get the last blue one, but then the clock runs out.

nextguardian on August 3, 2011, 12:36:14 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, that sucks. I hate that sort of thing. I have a similar problem in a different game. I haven't picked up the game in, like, two years because of it. It's not that it's hard, it's just really annoying.

YunieXTidus on August 3, 2011, 12:47:59 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusExactly! And tedious!

Anyway, what are you up to tonight?

nextguardian on August 3, 2011, 12:51:26 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAfter a while, it just ceases being a fun challenge.

Not too much. Just kind of chilling tonight. Had a tiring day for no particular reason :\

YunieXTidus on August 3, 2011, 1:14:33 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI could give you a tiring night, if you like. ;)

nextguardian on August 3, 2011, 1:19:30 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, I'll bet you could. Where would you start, if I said yes?

nextguardian on August 3, 2011, 1:58:32 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOk if I PM you with a list of ST ideas?

nextguardian on August 3, 2011, 2:00:26 PM

nextguardianSCratch that; nothing new yet

YunieXTidus on August 3, 2011, 2:11:46 PM

YunieXTidusxD I'm sorry, my notifications weren't coming in.

Welll, I'd start... on the kitchen counter. How's that work for you?

nextguardianIf it's good for you it's good for me ;)

Sorry I wasn't around tonight. Had some company and was busy entertaining. Would much rather have been here.

YunieXTidus on August 5, 2011, 9:40:40 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusXD that's probably why you have little social life to speak of.

I've been sick the past two days, and am doing my best to recover. ;_; it had to happen sometime, I guess. This is my first serious cold of the year.

nextguardian on August 2, 2011, 12:53:42 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI thought you might like that. There really wasn't much of a relationship between Amy and Dan, and I didn't want to do a complete Odo/Quark thing, so that's what I wound up with.

Working on my Japanese tonight. Translating a manga. I suck at this, lol. But it's fun. And I'm working a bit more on 'Serving'.

YunieXTidus on August 2, 2011, 1:31:31 PM

YunieXTidusI'm actually dipping into the AuRikku fanfiction pool tonight. AuronXRikku (a pairing from FFX) has long been one of my favorite pairings, but I just never did bother until tonight. xD

I should read something relaxing, too.

YunieXTidus on August 2, 2011, 2:06:03 PM

YunieXTidusxD Well, I wouldn't call what I'm reading "relaxing"...

nextguardian on August 2, 2011, 2:16:38 PM

Hey, hey, what's this? You're behind on Serving! Shame on you! I feel like you cheated on me- reading someone else's fics! (Big, fake crying face) How...how could you?! (sniffle, sob)

So, any new ideas for DS9?

YunieXTidus on August 2, 2011, 4:24:15 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWhere is "here"? Be more specific.

xD Honestly, I haven't thought of DS9 all summer.

nextguardian on August 2, 2011, 4:28:26 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHmmm...good question. My sense of direction is pretty bad, so I don't know where 'here' is. How about I just come to you? XD

That's okay, I was just curious. It was on the back burner for me, too. But I imagine I'll come back from the ST convention brimming with ideas.

Let's see...besides turning red and sputtering apologies, he would probably say something like "Well, uh, I didn't exactly mind it, either. (Nervous laugh) Um, feel free to grab mine, or something...(another nervous laugh)."

YunieXTidus on August 1, 2011, 12:58:55 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD I've decided. It's one of my goals in life to see you get flustered like that. xDDD

nextguardian on August 1, 2011, 1:00:44 PM

nextguardianIt won't take much effort on your end, believe me XD

YunieXTidus on August 1, 2011, 1:03:09 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol what would you do if she took your hand and slid it under her shirt so it was skin-to-skin contact?

nextguardian on August 1, 2011, 1:06:03 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI think I might even get the hint at that point and kind of slide in closer, putting my other hand on top of hers.

YunieXTidus on August 1, 2011, 1:08:08 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD Would you? Or would you chicken out, blushing furiously? ;)

nextguardian on August 1, 2011, 1:17:47 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIf she started it, I would probably be okay. If I trusted her. Then again, if I'm teaching her how to shoot, I would probably trust her enough to not cry 'pervert'. But I wouldn't make that kind of contact without a prompt.

YunieXTidus on August 1, 2011, 1:20:06 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat also begs the question- do you know enough about shooting to be able to teach someone? xD

nextguardian on August 1, 2011, 1:22:59 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm not an expert by any means, but I know the basics. Well, that depends on the weapons. With a standard rifle or shotgun, I'd be okay. I only know about pistols from reading, but I'm pretty sure I could figure it out. But you get into sniper rifles and the like, I'm not good.

YunieXTidus on August 1, 2011, 1:31:04 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusDid you know that pupil dilation is a tell for knowing whether or not someone is interested in you? I just found that out a couple days ago.

nextguardian on August 1, 2011, 1:34:23 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI didn't know that. Huh, that's cool. Now that I can make some eye contact...cool!

YunieXTidushttp://ifaguylikesyou.com/2011/05/how-to-know-if-a-guy-likes-you-and-what-to-do-about-it-must-rea...

Also, be aware of some body language signs that he may like you. I’m talking about the small signs, and if you notice some of them, you can be a step closer to being sure that he likes you. Those signs are: pupil dilation (his pupils dilate when talking to a person he likes – scientifically proven, but hard to catch), blushing (his face may turn red if you give him a compliment or say something unexpectedly pleasuring to him), body position (when you talk to him, if he turns his whole body in your direction, and not just the head), touching an hugging…

(Also, here's something to look for when you're on a date with a girl.)

1) Look him in the eyes

2) Look at his lips

3) Look at his eyes again + SMILE

4) Move in


And he will also move in and kiss you.

nextguardian on August 1, 2011, 1:46:50 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI always figured there was some kind of unwritten process. I'm glad somebody wrote it up, actually! It's much less nerve wracking if two people can match the right signs imho.

YunieXTidus on August 1, 2011, 1:48:14 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD

Well, I think I may use this this weekend. We're probably going back up there if my cousin is still in the hospital, so I'm going to see if I can arrange for another date. And who knows? I may get a kiss! (woot for me!!)

nextguardian on August 1, 2011, 1:56:11 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHey, if the guy can read the signs (make it obvious; the majority of us are stupid, lol), then you might very well score that kiss! And maybe more, you never know!

YunieXTidus on August 1, 2011, 1:58:54 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol this is a boy scouts Christian guy. I don't think I'll get much more than a kiss anytime soon. xD

nextguardian on August 1, 2011, 2:04:14 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI dunno. Every guy has his breaking point. You might just be too much to resist, you never know ;)
Either way, more power to you!

YunieXTidus on August 1, 2011, 2:06:03 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD well, there's the problem of nowhere for us to be truly alone...

nextguardian on August 1, 2011, 2:17:37 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat does present an issue. Unless you can get everyone else away somehow. Then again, it can't be too hard to sneak a kiss. If it was the whole nine yards, then I'm not sure what to say.

nextguardianCool, enjoy ^^ I can't wait to hear what you think.

Also: http://yahoo.match.com/y/article.aspx?articleid=11862&TrackingID=526103&BannerID=680231

I love articles like this. I know they're not for me, but it does explain a lot!

So, the story of the story:

I was talking to my school counselor (college level; this is recent) about various things. You know, careers, classes, etc. He asked me 'well, are you seeing anyone? Any girls in your life?'

I was feeling particulary melancholy, so I responded in kind:

Me: My time for romance has passed.

C: (blinks in shock) What do you mean?

Me: I didn't get the sweet, innocent childhood romance. I don't have the childhood friend who I'll grow up to marry. Hell, all the girls I knew as a child either got knocked up, are in a religious cult, or are ugly as sin, if they didn't do drugs (true story!). Adult romances suck anyway. Beyond sex, what is there? Two people who hate each other get married on a whim because of a vague attraction or, in my case, some Italian relatives dropping hints. Either way, you get married, hate your spouse, have a kid, and train him to do the same thing. I think i'd prefer a daughter, by the way. But what the hell, get married so you can hurry up and get divorced and have your ex-wife take everything, including your testicles. If you're smart enough to avoid that fate, you still date someone you rarely see outside of work .There's no 'let's go for a walk in the woods' or 'hey, the beach! Oops, saw your tits! "Oh, you jerk! I see your dick! Now we're even! Let's kiss sweetly'. No, it's "wanna get some food after work". Best case scenario: "Yes". Worst caseL "No, I'm too tired". Now THERE is romance, my friend. Great stuff, isn't it?

YunieXTidus on July 31, 2011, 4:48:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusCommented! And lol at the link. I also read somewhere that the way to a guy's heart is through fantastic oral sex.

What did your counselor say to that monologue?

nextguardian on July 31, 2011, 4:58:30 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlmao, there's that, too. Unless you get a guy like me that is absolutely paranoid of AIDS and the like, and will insist on a blood test first, lmao. (starting to see why I'm single?)

I'm terrified of being asked out sometimes. How do you let someone down gently, especially when there's a really awkward reason for not liking them back?

Well, actually, there was a little more to it. It's less interesting, but:

Counselor: Well, that's certainly a fatalistic way to think. Why do you think that?

Me: Single. 22. No redeeming qualities. I mean, I'm into manga/comics, Star Trek, and fanfiction. That's the f***ing virgin trifecta for guys!

Counselor: (Looks up his schedule on his computer) I think we should meet again. How's next week for you?

Me: You aren't going to change me. It's going to take a girl for that. Preferably a mix of goth and Japanese, I think. Unless you've got Terry Farell's phone number?

Counselor: (literal facepalm) You'd be a great standup comic.

Me: I was thinking lifecoach. You know, the ones who talk people down from the buildings before they jump...

YunieXTidus on July 31, 2011, 5:09:50 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, say something like, "you know, you're really nice, but I'd rather we were just friends." if they demand an explanation either be frank and say "i'm just not into you," or say "i'm not looking for a relationship right now." Even if that last bit's a lie. xD

Lmao I think I like your counselor.

nextguardian on July 31, 2011, 5:13:48 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianMakes sense. I've never been good with lying.

Oh, so to answer your comment on that fic:

Yes, pretty depressing. I had a day like that (except for the last part, sadly enough), and just jotted it down and added some more detail. I don't know if I'll add more. I'll have to have another melancholy day, I think. I loved the ending, too. Wish a girl would try that on me. It would totally work!

I put the poor guy through the wringer. College annoys me. Poor guy. He's right on the front line. He's a nice guy who tries his best. But I'm a lost cause, lol.

nextguardian on July 31, 2011, 5:20:47 PM

YunieXTidus on July 31, 2011, 2:25:48 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIt went really well. He and I are very compatible, and there's only a one year difference. He's very "boy next door." Not at all like the man I kissed while intoxicated. Lol.

nextguardian on July 31, 2011, 2:30:52 PM

nextguardianI'm really happy for you :) I take it you're seeing him again? (If that's not prying? If it is, feel free to tell me where to stick my concern!)

YunieXTidus on July 31, 2011, 3:12:29 PM

YunieXTidusMe too. He's so sweet. He's really easy to get along with, and I never once felt awkward around him. And when he and I were talking, he looked at me like I was the only person in the world. I've never had a guy look at me like that before.

nextguardian on July 31, 2011, 3:17:21 PM

nextguardianThat's one of the first things I was taught about dating: Put the girl on a pedestal. Make her a goddess. Sounds like this dude has his act together.

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAaaaaaaaaaaaaaack a cockroach just crawled on meeeeeee. X___X

And yes. I'm not sure if it's just part of his personality to be like that or what. But I felt seriously special. I'm thinking by the second date, I'll probably get a kiss. With a little proverbial nudge here and there.

nextguardian on July 31, 2011, 3:22:00 PM

nextguardianOh, that sucks. I'm not good with bugs when they come near me.

nextguardian on July 31, 2011, 3:28:57 PM

nextguardianOnly when they get on me ;) I have a bad tendency to simply kill them. Except spiders. Unless they've bitten me, they get a free pass outside.

Pff, semantics.

YunieXTidus on July 31, 2011, 3:31:29 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI spaz out when bugs get on me. Screaming, jumping, flailing, the works.

Lol I love you sometimes. xD

I'm super paranoid now. Every brush of fabric against me feels like a bug. My headphones keep tickling my wrist and it feels like a bug. xD

nextguardian on July 31, 2011, 3:35:14 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianKilling is much more efficient, though XD

Well, thank you ^^ Glad I can help.

I completely get that. I swear, when I came home and saw some ants in my room one day, I couldn't even sleep in my room for two full days. I've got a special phobia about ants, thanks to a fun little incident from childhood. lol. I hate those things.

YunieXTidus on July 31, 2011, 3:37:44 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHis mom invited me to spend the night in their guest room whenever. The "omg I think I saw a bug" excuse would be perfect to get me in his bed, or vis versa. ;)

Oh? Spill it!

nextguardian on July 31, 2011, 3:40:57 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYeah, there you go. It can't miss!

Nothing much to it. I was playing on the driveway, and I picked up a roof tile. Under it was a whole slew of ants, and they fell all over me. I could hear them moving and making these creepy little sounds. So I panicked, shook them off, and ran like hell. Lol, I might have actually streaked, being so desperate to get them off me.

YunieXTidus on July 31, 2011, 3:43:06 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol would that work on you?

Aww, poor baby. Lol at you streaking.

nextguardian on July 31, 2011, 3:47:48 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm the kind of idiot who would miss the point and go charging in with a rolled up magazine or a shoe to go kill the scary bugs. It wouldn't occur to me to just slide over and make room if I'm honest.

It was funny ^^ Except the ants. The streaking was fun. Too bad it's illegal to do it intentionally.

YunieXTidus on July 31, 2011, 3:51:47 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, the girl would be like "eeeek!" And you'd come running in to see who was trying to murder her. She'd be up on top of the bed, whimpering and pointing to whatever corner the bug disappeared to.

"I just saw like, a huge cockroach crawling across my bedspread!!! I don't think I can sleep in this bed anymore. Could I... could I stay with you for tonight?"

nextguardian on July 31, 2011, 3:55:13 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWell, is it a complete turnoff if I run in carrying a weapon?

But at that point, I might finally figure it out and be like 'yeah, sure. Why don't you go get comfortable and let me get you a cup of tea or something'.

YunieXTidus on July 31, 2011, 4:00:36 PM

YunieXTidusLol actually that would be super cute. A valiant knight ready to defend his princess.

See? Perfect. This plan is flawless. Unlesssssssss my scream wakes the mom up. Then she'll make me sleep with her.

nextguardian on July 31, 2011, 4:03:39 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianCute? I could see 'creepy'. But cute? I'd love that reaction to something I do normally, lol.

Yeah, that would be a buzzkill.

YunieXTidus on July 31, 2011, 4:12:04 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, at least you came prepared to defend yourself and your girl. I think it's cute!

nextguardian on July 31, 2011, 4:14:32 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianFair enough. I love that image myself, really ^^It's nice to be needed. Now if only Emma Watson or Olivia Wilde would need me...
Heh-loh, back to earth.

I'm almost done with another DS9 oneshot. This one is blatantly about romance.

YunieXTidus on July 31, 2011, 4:16:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusBoth very hot women.

Oh, is it my RQ? :D

nextguardian on July 31, 2011, 4:22:36 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIndeed ^^ I just recently got into the Harry potter movies. Emma was cute as a kid, too. I read the books, though, despite not being too into magic.

Actually, not this one (thought that's in progress, too). This is a story I had about 90% finished. I just felt like tying up some loose ends tonight.

YunieXTidus on July 31, 2011, 4:24:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusPersonally, I just want someone to snuggle with in bed. The... other... stuff would just be an awesome perk.

I forgot what I even requested. XD

nextguardianSay, are you a fan of D. Grey Man at all?

YunieXTidus on July 28, 2011, 3:01:57 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusFor future reference, how tall are you?

I have no idea who that is...

nextguardian on July 28, 2011, 3:04:20 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm about 5'9" or 5'10" at the moment. Still growing, though, according to the doctor.

Oh, it's an anime/manga. I think I linked you the opening before.

YunieXTidus on July 28, 2011, 3:26:09 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus2 1/2 to 3 inches taller than me. Hmm.

I think I forgot to watch it...

nextguardian on July 28, 2011, 3:33:10 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm really short, lol.

No biggie. Here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1v7e4qCwc0

Check the girl at 40 secs in. She looks alot like one of the new girls who's going to be in serving soon. I'm about to update that one again. I think I said that last night, too, but I never did.

YunieXTidus on July 28, 2011, 3:38:43 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell as long as you're taller than me xD

She's cute. I don't think I read the most recent chapter of serving.

nextguardian on July 28, 2011, 3:42:27 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol. Although I'm totally fine with girls being taller than me if they can deal with me being shorter. Dax is taller than me, so...

I love the pigtails, melancholy expression, and goth sort of look.

(Checks comments) No, you didn't. Shame! jk- you've had a lot going on.

Pardon me if my spelling gets a little erratic. I just had a major anxiety attack. But I was kind of expecting it, so it wasn't as bad as it could have been ^^

YunieXTidus on July 28, 2011, 3:44:48 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm so sorry. I've only had minor ones, but the small ones are unpleasant, so I can imagine how you feel. Are you all right?

nextguardian on July 28, 2011, 3:47:41 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm okay. It's just scary for a while. Mine usually play on my fear of vomiting, so I'll get stomach aches, my throat will tighten up, and I'll get weak. But I've had chest pains, loss of feeling in my shins and forearms (weird one, apparently), trouble breathing, dizziness, feelings of despair (had that one tonight, too).

But I'm okay, thank you ^^ Or I will be. I'll get over it.

YunieXTidus on July 28, 2011, 3:48:54 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusSounds like you need some company.

nextguardian on July 28, 2011, 3:55:48 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat would be nice, lol. Sucking on things is supposed to cure it, so...ugh. No male company, please XD
Although that much is real. If you feel anxious, get a hard candy or a sucker. It absolutely helps. Also, anything with pepperminet. Gum, mints, mentos- all helpful. And green tea for the stomach.

YunieXTidus on July 28, 2011, 3:58:01 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxDDD I hope it would help if the other party were doing the sucking... xD

I'll keep that in mind.

nextguardian on July 28, 2011, 4:01:30 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIT certainly wouldn't hurt! lol, well sex releases all kinds of interesting endorphins. And I'd imagine it'd be damn distracting to just start having sex during an anxiety attack. Haven't tried that one yet.
On the flipside, though, the girl would have to be incredibly understanding, especially if this screwed up a date or something. you know me- I'm the type who would absolutely make it up, all while agonizing over it.

Thaks for keeping me company, btw. IF you need to go to bed, whenever you do, please feel free. I'm over it now.

And Serving has been updated. Yay! lol.

YunieXTidus on July 28, 2011, 4:04:16 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, look me up if you're ever in town and start to feel anxious. xD even without the last qualifying factor, even! XDD

Hey, no problem. You've been there for me. And believe it or not, I'm not just in it for the sex!

nextguardian on July 28, 2011, 4:12:13 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianLol, I will. You're one of the few people I've met online that I would be cool with meeting in person.

lmao! Well, I'm glad I can help, and you're also a big help.

What do you think? Do I need to drop my "I want a relationship' mindset and just aim for a quick lay?

YunieXTidus on July 28, 2011, 4:15:46 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, I was looking at more than just meeting ;)

Anything I can do.

Well, whatever you're comfortable with. Honestly I think the "I want a relationship" is something that sets you apart. Most girls are in it for the "long haul,"- meaning longer than 2 or 3 hours.

nextguardian on July 28, 2011, 4:26:27 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOkay, I'm booking the next flight out! XD

The discussion helps in a big way ^^

I admit that I want a relationship, but I'm worried about being overwhelmed at first. I'd like to be friends first, and the kind of gradually work up to really getting close. If that makes any sense.

Oh, I meant to ask 2 things:

-Would you be interested if I wrote an add-on to 'Serving' about Yuji and Miko's life together?

-Could I finagle you into drawing Azami some time down the line?

YunieXTidus on July 28, 2011, 4:29:01 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWait until Monday. I'll actually be home then.

Yeah, I understand.

Yes, that'd be cool!

Already on my list!! xD

nextguardian on July 28, 2011, 4:32:54 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOkay, sounds good. How's dinner sound before we go to a hotel?

I'm glad. Because I barely do, lol.

Awesome! I might just do that, then.

Thanks so much!

YunieXTidus on July 28, 2011, 4:34:12 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAw, damn. I thought you were serious. :(

nextguardian on July 28, 2011, 4:42:03 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI would seriously visit when I could, if that was okay. I thought you were kidding! But I would totally visit. That would be cool.

YunieXTidus on July 28, 2011, 4:43:51 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusDamn my rotten luck. Well, at least I wouldn't make you spend the nights in a hotel. My bed is plenty big enough for two.

nextguardian on July 28, 2011, 4:55:45 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, sounds tempting! Very tempting indeed!

Well, I've got to go for the night. My anxiety adrenaline wore off all at once, and now I'm falling asleep. Thank you so much for keeping me company. I really do appreciate it :)

nextguardianUnfortunately, there isn't much to say. Just one little annoyance after another. My buddy was supposed to come over tomorrow, but cancelled. I was supposed to apply for a new job tomorrow, but there's a doctor's appointment instead, which will officially put me out of the running. And it's almost time for my college bill to come in the mail. It kills me to pay those bastards. On top of all that, I'm still single with no prospects and I have zero self respect. shoot. Maybe I need to start giving Yuji some luck. Maybe it's karma or something for mistreating him -_-'

Oh well. How was your day?

YunieXTidus on July 28, 2011, 2:23:40 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHey, you're an amazing guy. You're smart, funny, sweet. You're an amazing listener, and are always up for a challenge. Your flirting skills are on the up, and you're fun to talk to. I'm sure you're cute, too, though I have no tangible proof of that. If you can't find a girl, it's because you're either not looking in the right places or you just aren't meant to find her yet. I'd jump at the chance to date a guy like you. You appreciate and respect women like most men nowadays don't. Don't let it get you down.

My day was fine, but that's not important.

nextguardian on July 28, 2011, 2:27:48 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat's kind of you. Put a smile on my face for the first time today. I think I just need a good bout with self-pity and I'll be ok.The job thing was the hardest to swallow. I mean, it fit me perfectly. The only thing that worries me is that I can usually manage my stress just fine. I normally don't talk about it. So I must have been really bugged to even mention it.

It's important to me. If you didn't have a good day, I wouldn't keep ranting. Jk- I do actually like to know my friends are happy ^^

YunieXTidus on July 28, 2011, 2:32:59 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI mean every word. If you weren't so far away I'd make you come over right now. Can't you skip the appointment?

Well, you had the worse day, so you take priority. I didn't have a bad day though. I mean, it wasn't GOOD, but it wasn't bad. Just an average day. xD

nextguardian on July 28, 2011, 2:37:41 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIf the appointment was for me, I would. But it's for my Grandma. And God help us, if we put my career over the fact that there's nothing wrong with her but what's in her head, I would never hear the end of it. She's got anxiety like I do, but she makes no effort to control it and then critizes me if I have an issue. --'

I'd take 'average' at this point. I think I'm in a rut or something. when 'bad' becomes 'average' then you need to worry, lol.

What do you think of this for a fic's centerpiece:
-Yuji spanks Azami out of nowhere. She stops him, hikes up her skirt and slips her panties off, then tells him to continue?

-Yuji loses a bet and has to be Sakura's maid for a week. Like, literal crossdressing maid. But it'll end well for him.

YunieXTidus on July 28, 2011, 2:41:02 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusBut yeah. I'd make you come over. I'd definitely make you feel better. ;)

Well, can't you reschedule the interview? Or at least tell them you'll be late.

XDD that would be interesting to say the least.

Lmao. They actually had that as a narusasu doujin on youtube. XD

YunieXTidus on July 26, 2011, 1:12:57 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNot much. Just chillin'. And trying to find the power cord to my laptop. It seems to have made a break for freedom. -_-'

I have a wedding to go to in a day, and I don't have a dress yet! I have to go to JCPenney's tomorrow.

nextguardian on July 26, 2011, 1:15:47 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol. I'm sorry. The way you said that was funny. The situation isn't it.

Do you like weddings?

YunieXTidus on July 26, 2011, 1:19:00 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIt was meant to, lol.

It depends on who's getting married, I guess. Because that entails a certain kind of people attending. I'm kind of excited because of WHO'S getting married. Do you follow basketball? ( I can't remember if I've talked to you about this or not, so bear with me.)

nextguardian on July 26, 2011, 1:20:58 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI figured, but I also figured it was best to clarify what I meant. Old habit because of this overly emotional friend I used to have.

I can understand that. And I don't follow basketball at all, sorry.

YunieXTidus on July 26, 2011, 1:22:28 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAh. Totally understand.

My cousin is marrying the #1 draft pick in the nation's brother. He plays for the phoenix suns, if that means anything to you. Some of the team will be there. I'm kind of excited.

nextguardian on July 26, 2011, 1:27:53 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYep. Avoided a lot of trouble by stating what is apparently obvious. lol

Hey, cool! Congrats to your cousin (And you, for that matter!)

YunieXTidus on July 26, 2011, 1:54:19 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusTrue enough!

I know, right? My only thing is that I have to go buy a new dress tomorrow.

nextguardian on July 26, 2011, 1:57:22 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI don't know why, but I've always enjoyed wearing suits and ties and the like. I liked school uniforms, too (no, the girls did not dress cute. Private school uniforms and the supposed advantage they give you are highly overrated, at least in the US). Weird.

Know what kind of dress you're going to get? Not that I have any clue there, lol.

YunieXTidus on July 26, 2011, 2:16:38 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh don't get me wrong. I love dressing up. It's just taking the time to actually go and purchase it. You also have to try it onn, and find matching jewelry... and shoes...

Not for certain, although I was in there the other day and one caught my eye...

It looked either like this:

nextguardian on
nextguardianI forgot that it's a bigger thing for girls. My biggest issue is polishing my shoes. I never get them to look perfect.

Those are nice! But they'd make my butt look big. Probably okay on you, though! ;)

YunieXTidus on July 26, 2011, 3:24:29 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD Sorry, I didn't get the email that said you'd commented until like, 5 minutes ago.

Lmao waiiit, you HAVE a butt? Aren't you like, a stick? Probably okay on me, since that dress is made for slightly curvy women, and I am indeed slightly curvy. ;)

nextguardian on July 27, 2011, 12:35:34 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianS'okay.

Oh, sure I do. It's a sexy little thing. Wanna see it? XD

Glad to hear it!

Say, I'm curious- which ST opening is your favorite?

YunieXTidus on July 27, 2011, 12:41:19 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat's a tough question. But I think Enterprise, then TNG, then Voyager.

nextguardian on July 27, 2011, 12:50:44 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianVoyager and DS9 are tied for me, then enterprise, then TNG, then TOS. I love how adventerous Voyager sounds and how epic (not like, 'cool' epic, but epic epic, if you get what I mean).

Question- do you think Serving has gone on too long?

YunieXTidus on July 27, 2011, 12:58:22 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI get what you mean. xD

Well, most fanfics are definitely not this long. But I don't think it feels like you're just dragging it on, if that makes sense. It's like, the 7th Harry Potter book- she didn't MEAN for it to be that big, it just was. And it worked just fine.

nextguardian on July 27, 2011, 1:04:24 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm glad, because I know I didn't articulate that well.

True enough. That's what I really wanted to know. As long as it's still making sense and doesn't seem forced, good.

YunieXTidus on July 27, 2011, 1:09:09 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD Poetic grace of a platypus. It's quite alright. ;)

Yup.

I'll have to send you a pic of the dress in action! It's so pretty.

nextguardian on July 27, 2011, 1:14:59 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, only in conversation!

Cool. Glad you found something you liked.

YunieXTidus on July 27, 2011, 1:17:23 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusXD suuuuure.

This is where you're supposed to either say how good you're sure I'll look in it, or offer to send me a pic of you in similarly dressy clothes. ;)

nextguardian on July 27, 2011, 1:21:07 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianLol, really.

Why would I need to state the obvious? ;)
And I don't look all that good in a skirt, so I can't really offer that... XD

YunieXTidus on July 27, 2011, 1:24:17 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusMmhmm..... suuuure.

It's always good to do a bit of ego stroking when it comes to women.
And lol I meant the male equivalent!

nextguardian on July 27, 2011, 1:37:13 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianTrue enough. I always feel fake when I'm giving a compliment like that. Like the other person won't believe me or something, even when I'm being totally sincere.

Oh. Right. lol. XD I knew what you meant. I don't have any decent pics atm, but when I take one I'll send it to you.

nextguardianI think so. You totally caught me offguard.

(evil grin; repeates the phrase in a perfect Bashir voice) Is that better? And if you're going to smack, then we need to get out the handcuffs and whips.

To some degree. But I also love the concept of a couple against the rest of the world (ala every single fic I've ever done for Naruto XD)

YunieXTidus on July 24, 2011, 4:38:12 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm actually surprised you didn't think I'd go through with it.

I think I could get used to you as a Brit. And that raises the question... who's getting handcuffed?

XD cute.

nextguardian on July 24, 2011, 4:46:35 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI know. I underestimated you. My mistake.

(holds wrists out) Need you ask?

I suppose so. Although, per Azami, there is something to be said for the bdsm end.

YunieXTidus on July 24, 2011, 4:50:39 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI do hope you won't be making that mistake again. ;)

If you've come to be handcuffed, you came to the wrong girl. (Wags finger)

Maybe to an extent. I dunno though. My ex boyfriend was a bdsm sadist. Well, is. But every thought of bdsm makes me think of him, so it kind of turns my stomach. Not to say I wouldn't like it rough now and then! Just maybe a bit less on the kinky side. XD

nextguardian on July 24, 2011, 4:56:20 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNope. I've learned my lesson XD

(Tosses the handcuffs away and tackles you) Okay. No trouble there. Tell me...what next? (smirk)

I definitely prefer the woman to take charge, at least sometimes. The firs time would be great, so I can kind of gauge what she likes. I would say it's probably more difficult to please a woman. We men are simple, lol. Plus, there's kinda only one spot to concentrate on with guys, until you get back to BDSM.

YunieXTidus on July 24, 2011, 5:01:05 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm actually surprised you've held out this long!

Well, perhaps the bed would be a better place to continue than the floor...

I'll let you in on a little secret. It's really not that much more difficult. Women are aroused in most of the same areas that men are. Probably more, actually, making your job easier. xD. Taking charge now and then is fine. Something about relinquishing, or taking, all control just bothers me for some reason.

nextguardian on July 24, 2011, 5:03:41 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianLol. Hey, I'm new here! XD

Fair enough. Cannonball! (Jumps onto the bed)

Ah, that makes sense. still indimidating as hell. girls have way more complex plumbing, though.
I think I'm just really open minded about that sort of thing at this point. Kind of like a kid in a candy store; I want everything. Except total control. That I don't like. But I don't mind giving the control up. At least in theory.

YunieXTidus on July 25, 2011, 10:46:47 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIt was a compliment! Not a jibe.

So sorry for running off last night- I fell asleep.

How are you tonight?

nextguardian on July 25, 2011, 1:00:59 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt's okay; I was almost asleep myself.

I'm okay. How about you?

YunieXTidus on July 25, 2011, 1:02:55 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusPretty good. Started watching star trek insurrection, but the power cut out halfway through. Anything exciting to report?

nextguardian on July 25, 2011, 1:04:38 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, that sucks!

Not really. Was messing around with our co-op fic a bit, to see if any storylines hit me. Beyond that, not much.

YunieXTidus on July 25, 2011, 1:06:23 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus(Suggestive tone) What sucks?

Oh? Any good ideas so far?

nextguardian on July 25, 2011, 1:12:16 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, I think you know (wink)

A few for much later in the story. For our current place, I've got about 7 that I've already told you about. I'm still thinking, though. I keep getting distracted by Serving. I'm right in the middle of a really intense part, and I don't want to stop writing, but my ideas aren't any good.

YunieXTidus on July 25, 2011, 1:19:25 PM

Oh, here. I've got a storyline I might make into a full fic, but is scrapped for now. I forgot that I wrote this:



Dax liked the gamma shift. It was so calm and peaceful compared to the hectic day shift hours. The pleasant, quiet hums of machinery and computers working had the effect of a technological waterfall sound. It was sort of like a Zen thing in the steel confines of the space station.

With the lights dimmed in time with the earth clock that they had all grown accustomed to, the subtle blues, reds, and greens coming from the various consoles matched the overall relaxed feeling of the station.

OPS was quiet this time of night, empty of Bajoran and Starfleet personnel alike, save for a skeleton maintenance crew that Chief O’Brien on duty around the clock for the eventual breakdown of some piece of equipment. This Cardassian-built space station wasn’t in the best of shape, thanks to its former occupants trashing its before they left.

Dax had just started to close her eyes and exhale when the sound of the turbolift reached her ears. She turned from her station to see who was coming at such a late hour. She was surprised to see Ensign Holmes stepping off the turbolift.

“Good evening, Daniel,” Dax commented amiably, offering a smile of greeting. “What brings you here? Aren’t you off duty?”

For a moment, Holmes considered telling her the real reason he’d come. For some reason, even though he was new here, he felt like he could trust these people. Here he was thinking of telling Dax, whom he’d only known for short while, one of his greatest secrets. He was tempted, yes, but he wasn’t quite ready to tell her just what was going on.
“I guess I’ve got a bit of insomnia, so I thought I’d catch up on some work. If you’re really relishing your quiet time, I can take it with me back to my quarters. Although Bashir would have a fit.”

Dax cocked her head, a question in her tone of voice. “Julian? Why would he mind?”

Holmes tried to make sure that he was sounding believable. He wasn’t entirely lying, he convinced himself as he said:
“If you have insomnia, you aren’t supposed to stay where your bed is. It’s some psychological thing,” he told her, waving a hand in the air to convey he didn’t understand the subtleties.

“Oh, that’s right. It’s a way to train your mind that when you see your bed, it’s time to go to sleep. That way you don’t associate any other thoughts with your bed.”

“Yeah, that was it. Let me guess -” Holmes grinned, deciding to try his hand at playful joking,“ Curzon was a sleepwalker?”

Jadzia gave him a friendly smile, enjoying the banter. “No, actually it was Tobin. He knew his way around an engine room, but when it came to girls… God, he used to get so nervous that when one paid attention to him he couldn’t sleep or even eat if he had any feeling toward her at all.”

Holmes actually stopped dead. That sounded so much like himself. He would be a fool to let this opportunity go by without taking advantage of it. How often could you ask a girl what she liked without really asking her?

“Oh, really? And what do you, as Jadzia, think of that? I mean, is it different for you? Well, obviously it’s different, since you’re a female, but -”

Dax felt herself smiling again. It was good to reminisce sometimes. But even more than that, she had a feeling that this question was really important to Holmes.
“Well, I suppose that Jadzia would have empathy for somebody like Tobin.”

Dax had the distinct feeling that Holmes was very much like Tobin. A little more refined and with a different brand of intelligence, but the anxiety… That was the same. She wouldn’t have picked it out if she had lived through it herself in a manner of speaking.
I can’t help him unless he asks. Or maybe that’s why he’s here. I’ve never been a doctor, but I can see that he’s got something going on with him right now. Maybe he just needs company? I’ll have to ask Julian tomorrow.
Dax wouldn’t have objected to the company of the young ensign anyway. He was a genuinely good hearted man in as he had said himself he wasn’t in it for the awards or the fame.
“How about a drink?” Jadzia asked.

Dan felt some self blushing in spite of himself. He wondered if her question was one of those situations where he was supposed to read between the lines. How the hell was he supposed to know? He and Tobin, apparently were two peas in a pod in that what they knew about women could be described on the head of a self-sealing stem bolt.
Then again, what did he care how she meant that? Whether she was being friendly or hinting it something else, Dan knew he would enjoy her company. So why split hairs and risk alienating her?
He was closer to the replicator, so he walked the short distance over, then glanced back toward Dax.

“What would you like?”

“Well, I’m on duty, so…raktajino.”

Holmes nodded approvingly. Being the straight arrow he was, he would have lowered his opinion of Dax if she had wanted synthehol. So he ordered a raktajino for her, and one for himself, too, since he’d been pledging to try that drink (since just now finding out that she liked it).

“Here you go.”
Holmes set her drink down on one of the workstations nearby. He chose a chair that was close enough for conversation, but far enough away to give her privacy, if she so desired. If not, well, he could move closer. She hadn’t seemed to be doing anything in particular when he’d come in, except relaxing. That very fact made him feel guilty for lying.

YunieXTidus(Looks impatient) weren't you going to ascertain for yourself that I lacked the anatomical bit you were referring to?

Wow, congrats early! Which lucky number?

Lol you've shared this with me before. Still a good read.

nextguardian on July 25, 2011, 1:56:12 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, sorry! (Bends down) Huh. So that's a woman's kneecap, huh?

23 this time. Blagh. It'll suck as much as 22 I bet.

I did? There are two that are like this. I thought I shared the other one. (Shrug) Oh well.

YunieXTidus on July 25, 2011, 2:41:05 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus(Gently knees you in the forehead) I'm beginning to think I have a list cause on my hands.

I'll have to write/draw you something special then!!

(Points to self) Semi-photographic memory. Sure does come in handy sometimes.

nextguardianI'm trying to accurately depict my real life response. lol.

Maybe so, but the guy that's like that goes home alone. Sad but true. Even if we do have completely pure intentions, there's just that sort of stigma.

YunieXTidus on July 24, 2011, 2:25:05 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol I'd love to see that sort of response in person. xD

(Gently nips your earlobe, continuing the massage) Cat got your tongue?

Well, hey. There'll be a girl someday who cares enough to get past your shy barrier and root you out for the romantic you are!

nextguardian on July 24, 2011, 2:28:20 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianLol, okay. When can I meet you? XD

No, but I wish YOU did.

It would be nice, I admit ^^

YunieXTidus on July 24, 2011, 2:32:53 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI don't start classes til the 22nd. Sooo... any time you can manage to get on a plane before then.

I freely admit that made me snort with surprise and laughter. XD

(Pauses for a moment) Well, that can be arranged. All you have to do is push me up against a wall and take it.

It'll happen eventually. Trust me.

nextguardian on July 24, 2011, 2:36:33 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianSurprised me, too. lol. It just came out.

(Does exactly that) How does THAT grab you?

I'm sure. And I'm in no rush most of the time. I do get into the idea once in a while (Okay, more than that).

I had this weird dream. I work at this one ice rink where the locker rooms are practically public. Ditto with the showers. I was in there alone when some girl walked in. And I just sort of stripped for her. It was really weird.

YunieXTidus on July 24, 2011, 2:40:59 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusXD you are full of surprises tonight!

(Looks stunned, but quickly recovers... sort of.) Well, I. Um. Quite nicely, actually.

Lmao. It's your long denied sexual needs asserting themselves.

nextguardian on July 24, 2011, 2:46:00 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianthanks ^^ It's taking extra effort, lol.

That's what I thought. (Smirks, then stares blatantly at you) So THAT's what was on my back. Nice!

Yeah, but random stripping in a public place? Kinda hot, I admit.

YunieXTidus on July 24, 2011, 2:48:41 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusJust lmao at you. XD

(Blushes and looks away) Aren't you supposed to be kissing me lavishly?

I never pegged you as an exhibitionist. Hehe. I'm sure I can use that to my advantage somehow.

nextguardian on July 24, 2011, 2:59:44 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol. Maybe me making eyes at those two girls gave me some sort of confidence boost or something XD

(Resumes the kissing)

I wouldn't normally be, but it is kind of hot because it's so wrong. At least, that's what I think.

YunieXTidus on July 24, 2011, 3:02:18 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusMy goodness, you are spirited today! I must say, I'm blown away. xD

(Between kisses) You're very good at this, for someone without much experience, as you say.

Hey, I totally understand. I admit I've had a fantasy or two about doing it on a teacher's desk. With the teacher.

nextguardian on July 24, 2011, 3:16:35 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, thank you ^^

It's all instinct. Don't be so innocent with your hands!

I've had one about a nurse tying me to a hospital bed (The aforementioned 'it's a small world' girl, actually ^^'), one with a cheerleader back in school. But not much real-time stuff since, aside from some beach fantasies.

YunieXTidus on July 24, 2011, 3:19:07 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus(Does some very not-innocent things with her hands) Don't be so innocent with your mouth!

Beach fantasies? A certain fire engine red bikini wouldn't have influenced that at all, would it?

nextguardian on July 24, 2011, 3:21:18 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh? But I'm so new...I'm not sure what you mean...how about you just go ahead and guide my mouth where it needs to be...
(Lol, you should probably delete these comments soon, before the site staff gets annoyed XD)

It certainly didn't hurt, lol. My beach fantasies are more tame. See, I kinda feel like, at my age, an 'innocent' romance won't happen. So I kind of starting thinking about summer romances. Kinda weird, huh?

YunieXTidus on July 24, 2011, 3:25:09 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYou are so naughty! XD

XD I have the vague feeling that if we continue this, I'll have your internet innocence on my hands. I'm actually kind of speechless. You've thoroughly impressed me with your bravery tonight!

Actually, thats kind of cute. xD

nextguardian on July 24, 2011, 3:32:56 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, well, I'm working on it ^^

Lmao! There was someone who tried this with one of my OC's once. It was a death note scenario. Poor Kimihiro was 2 posts away from nailing Misa Misa, and the mods ruined it XD Actually, it was the person who made my current avatar. She accused Kimihiro of cheating on her (she was serious). I tried to explain to her that the Naruto Kimihiro isn't the same as the Death note Kimihiro, but she wasn't getting it at first.

Anyway, back on topic.
So, you just put my head in the right spot, and I'll figure it out...

(Shrug) It's on summer to-do list. Just a light, innocent thing. I don't mind if it turns a bit adult later on, but I'd love to frolic and play like I never really got to do when I was younger. Kinda stupid, but that's me.

YunieXTidus on July 24, 2011, 3:43:47 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOkay, who are you and what have you done with my sweet, shy, innocent NG?

(gently guides your mouth about twelve to fourteen inches below mouth level) Guiding, I can do. Your bravery is arou- astounding, I mean.

I see. Right, so when will you be in town, again?

nextguardian on July 24, 2011, 3:51:47 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm just on a roll tonight, for some reason!

mmm...I think you had it right the first time. I'm pretty 'astounded' myself.

lol, tempting. Very tempting.
Sweet, Innocent NG says that his fantasy ends with an innocent kiss (no, no 'french' in there) on the beach, holding hands with the girl. And they're both fully clothed, he'd like to add.

YunieXTidus on July 24, 2011, 3:56:24 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus(Bites lip) How 'astounded'?

That's cute. But I must add, French kisses are much more fun.

nextguardian on July 24, 2011, 3:58:30 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHmmm...look for yourself. How about 'above average' astounded?

More fun, but less innocent. I'm thinking the kind of kiss where you're about to say goodbye but don't really want to. (The french kissing IS included in the adult version of this fantasy, however. lol)

YunieXTidus on July 24, 2011, 4:02:12 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI hope this is accurate information you're feeding my imagination.

(Looks appropriately impressed) 'above average' works just fine. (Faint voice)

I happen to like both versions.

nextguardian on July 24, 2011, 4:05:48 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, it is XD (Damn, I cannot believe how red my face is now)

Feel free to take a look...or feel...or taste for yourself.
(I cannot believe I just typed that)

I like both versions, too ^^ lol. And the super adult version where she's got a hot best friend/sister is there, too. (I think that came from your "girl/girl/boy threesomes aren't uncommon" comment XD )

YunieXTidus on July 24, 2011, 4:09:23 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI can believe that perfectly well. xD

Neither can I! XDD

(Does all three, in order)

Well, I think the sister bit is stretching it. Best friend, maybe. xD

nextguardian on July 24, 2011, 4:16:55 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAnd now it's redder. This reply finally got me, lol. I didn't think you'd actually...

(Sucks in breath in surprise; pleasure)

Absolutely. That would be totally hot, lol. At least, in the XXX version. In the version that's standing out to me right now, it's sort of a sweet kiss on the beach. More romance, less lust. (See? I don't act my age!)

YunieXTidus on July 24, 2011, 4:20:53 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm the kind of girl who can rarely back down from a challenge. Especially one so tempting.

(Continues) Is that good for you?

It's not a bad thing! Every woman craves a romantic as well as a... caveman? Stud? I'm not sure of the right noun here. xD

nextguardian on July 24, 2011, 3:01:43 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm going to be afk for a few minutes. I'll be right back.

So, same old stuff on my end. Anything new and interesting on yours?

YunieXTidus on July 24, 2011, 12:27:04 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTiduswell, try two weeks of nonstop housework. ;)

Nothing too exciting to report. Slept in my new room last night. Got a lot of packing and unpacking ahead of me.

nextguardian on July 24, 2011, 12:31:02 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBeen there, believe me. When we renovated the house just shy of two years ago, it was a solid...well, heck, we aren't actually done. The landscaping is still a WIP.

It's got to be exciting for you, I'd imagine. Hopefully you'll have a good time with it ^^ I've redone my room like 3 times in the past two years. Not on the same scale as what you're doing, but it's the only remotely relatable experience I can think of atm ^^'

YunieXTidus on July 24, 2011, 12:34:43 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHaha, no worries. I'm watching stargate sg1.

You should look up "haven't met you yet" by Michael buble, then look up Russian unicorn.

nextguardian on July 24, 2011, 12:41:28 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianCool! I'm on season 5 of DS9 now. My God, Kira is frakin' hysterical these days! Her, Garak, and Gul Ducat have really evolved into great characters.

Cool. I counter with the first opening of Kannakuzi no Miko. That was the inspiration for Miko's character. The black haired one in the opening really helped. And Asuna was inspired by the blonde one. And it also inspired my SakuXAza story ^^

Hey, how about giving me a fic RQ to do? I owe you one, I think. Even if I don't, I'm feeling nice for some reason. lol.

YunieXTidus on July 24, 2011, 12:43:46 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHmm... another hisayama or even a hisayu. The hisayu ones always are interesting. XD

nextguardian on July 24, 2011, 12:50:15 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianCool. Can do :)

I hope Holmes and Dax hook up in our co-op fic. I really do. lol.

YunieXTidus on July 24, 2011, 12:51:31 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'll see what I can do. I could always do an RQ if you ask nicely enough. ;)

nextguardian on July 24, 2011, 1:00:48 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYou know, it honestly didn't occur to me to ask. I was trying to think up something to make conversation, lol. But since you mentioned it- please? (I swear, I was not fishing for this outcome!)

I was watching some of my younger cousins play, and I watched this really obnoxious little kid who was bullying the others trip and take a header into the side of a kiddy pool. I freely admit I laughed. Am I a bad person?

YunieXTidus on July 24, 2011, 1:03:15 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus(Seductive grin) I don't think you asked nicely enough. Try again?

XD no. Slightly sadistic maybe.

nextguardian on July 24, 2011, 1:10:48 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianUmmm...pretty please? With sugar on top? (Wow, breaking out the stuff I haven't used since kindergarten!) ((Big hopeful smile))

It would have been funny no matter who did it. I hope I didn't give the impression I laughed because it was a kid? And I'm pretty sure I'm a masochist, not a sadist XD

YunieXTidus on July 24, 2011, 1:13:40 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus(Takes a step closer and looks up from under her eyelashes) Not quiiite nice enough.

XD well, it IS possible to be both.

nextguardian on July 24, 2011, 1:16:33 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardian(Raises eyebrow, then takes off shirt) Please?

That's true. Maybe I'm both! Yuji is a masochist, and he's largely based on me, but I'm a sadist since I'm so mean to him, so... And Azami had to come from somewhere, lol.

YunieXTidus on July 24, 2011, 1:20:45 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus(Smirks triumphantly, but crosses arms unimpressedly) I think a little more courtesy could be managed.

Well, everyone has many facets to their personality.

nextguardian on July 24, 2011, 1:28:08 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh? How about guiding me in the right direction? Are my pants in the way?

I suppose so. How would you describe yourself?

YunieXTidus on July 24, 2011, 1:31:06 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus(Looks surprised, but quickly recovers) why, yes, I believe they are.

XD what a loaded question. I'm probably more sadistic than masochistic, if that's what you're asking.

nextguardian on July 24, 2011, 1:34:23 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWell then, how about doing something about them? Go ahead; make my day (wicked grin).
(Yep, my face is red now. XD)

lol, no, I meant in general. But that's okay too. You're pretty friendly for a sadist, lol. Then again, so am I, I guess.

YunieXTidus on July 24, 2011, 1:37:52 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus(Returns your wicked grin with an even more wicked grin) Well, now. (Trails a few fingers across your bare chest down to the waist of your pants) Do they button, zip, or snap?

XD the funny thing is, in person I'm much more shy. Atupid inhibitions get in the way of me being myself.

nextguardian on July 24, 2011, 1:46:04 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianSnap and zip. Quick and easy for your convenience.

I am, too. And I'm pretty shy online to begin with.

YunieXTidus on July 24, 2011, 1:48:09 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, how thoughtful of you. (Unsnaps and unzips in one quick motion, then briskly yanks them down to your ankles) Okay. You're going to have to remind me what the question was.

Oh, trust me, I know. XD

nextguardian on July 24, 2011, 1:52:15 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardian(blushing now, clearly anxious) Oh. Right. Um. Dax and Holmes. Can it happen? Please?

I suppose you do XD It's too bad it isn't like in manga, where the kind, hot girl finds the shy guy attractive because he doesn't act like a complete dick.

YunieXTidus on July 24, 2011, 1:55:20 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus(Looks up, concerned) You seem tense.(slowly walks behind you, her fingers trailing on your bare shoulders) Is there anything I can do to ease some of that anxiety?

XD too bad. And teasing you is way too much fun to be legal.

nextguardian on July 24, 2011, 1:59:34 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianMmm...well, it doesn't seem fair if I'm the only one who has to take clothes off...


lol, really. I think it's because I'm so shy that I come across as unfriendly or something. That, and I certainly don't act my age. I act older, which is kinda lame. lol.

YunieXTidus on July 24, 2011, 2:02:43 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus(Begins to massage your shoulders slowly) Well, feel free to strip me at your earliest convenience.

I wouldn't worry about it, if I were you. It makes you interesting and unique.

nextguardian on July 24, 2011, 2:05:35 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYou know, I always thought it would be hot for a girl giving me a massage to suddenly be topless without me knowing...you know, so I could feel them against my back...
(lmao)

It also keeps me single and desperate XD

YunieXTidus on July 24, 2011, 2:11:33 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus(Stops massaging you for a moment, and you hear the rustle of clothes being removed. Then continues massaging you, pressing her front against your back) How's that, then?

XD well, being single isn't all that bad... unless you're single.

nextguardianHi again! So far, so good with my connection!

So, what have you been up to the past few days? Anything interesting? I've gotten some writing done, but that's about it. Oh, I wanted to ask you- in that last DS9 fic I did, was there anything you particularly liked about it?

YunieXTidus on July 21, 2011, 2:08:01 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusPacking our apartment and registering for college! Lots of fun, exhausting stuff.

I know I said I was gonna be around, but I am totally wiped. My mom has been running me into the ground, having me start work at 8:30 am and stop at 10 every night. XD I'm sooo tired.

I dunno if I'll be on tomorrow, that's the "big move," but probably Monday I'll be all yours again!

nextguardian on July 21, 2011, 2:19:40 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat does sound like fun. I've never moved, so I don't really know what it's like.

That's okay ^^ I wound up doing other stuff as well. No rest for the weary.

Lol, I know you worded that statement that way on purpose. good one! You'd be so proud of me- I actually flirted in real life today! I managed to make solid eye contact (with a smile) with not one, but two girls! I'm kinda proud, lol.

YunieXTidus on July 21, 2011, 2:22:53 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusXD that's called common courtesy.

nextguardian on July 21, 2011, 2:32:57 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianFor some, maybe! It was a major feat for me! lol

YunieXTidus on July 22, 2011, 8:13:02 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol baby steps, I guess. Moving up from just staring at them to staring and smiling. Good work! ;)

nextguardian on July 22, 2011, 12:02:54 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAND solid eye contact! I don't normally do that! And, and, I didn't get shy and look away. Multiple glances, quick smiles- the works! lol.

nextguardian on July 22, 2011, 12:03:08 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, duh, before I forget, I updated 'Serving'.

YunieXTidus on July 22, 2011, 1:33:48 PM

YunieXTidusI've been working until JUST now ;_; And technically I'm STILL not done. Got my college schedule, though. Kind of excited about that.

nextguardian on July 22, 2011, 2:58:05 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianCool! What are you taking, if you don't mind my asking?

YunieXTidus on July 23, 2011, 1:17:44 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, biology lecture and lab, English composition 1, us history 1, introduction to sociology, and college algebra. 17 hours of classes 0_o.

nextguardian on July 23, 2011, 1:20:13 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIf you can pull it off, more power to you. I had to switch to a lighter course load almost immediately ^^;

How are things tonight?

YunieXTidus on July 23, 2011, 1:34:13 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusPretty good. Sleeping in the new house tonight. I forgot my pillow at the apartment though. (Facepalm)

How about you?

nextguardian on July 23, 2011, 1:49:46 PM

nextguardian on

Not bad, thank you ^^

YunieXTidusI'm a little pent up, though, do tread carefully. ;)

Whatchu up to?

nextguardian on July 23, 2011, 1:56:28 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianSure thing ^^

Trying to relax a bit. Had a full day of babysitting my younger cousins at some party. I could swear I never had that boundless energy. It was too hot for that crap today. So I've been working on some more Serving, and toying around with a couple love one-shots. You?

YunieXTidus on July 23, 2011, 1:58:39 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus! I totally forgot to read serving. Tomorrow, I guess. XD

Just chillin, texting friends.4 months until I get to see my best friends again... and Dylan, we can't forget! XD

nextguardian on July 23, 2011, 2:03:34 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianMeh, no rush. It's not going anywhere. I'm a couple arcs ahead, and I still don't know how it'll end ^^'

I can partially relate. All my buddies are out of town. And, heck, a friend of mine who I was going to visit is going to be out of town during my visit! Thankfully, I have other stuff to do, so it's not a huge deal. Just kinda sucks.

nextguardianTrue enough. I can understand where you're coming from, really.

Thanks. lol, a really naughty fic idea came to me earlier. I don't have it down on paper yet, so I can't share. But I promise I will when I do!

YunieXTidus on July 11, 2011, 1:44:57 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusUh-uh. No, you HAVE to share. (puts foot down)

nextguardian on July 11, 2011, 1:46:53 PM

nextguardianOkay, okay. lol. I'll PM you the concept. 1 sec...

nextguardian on July 11, 2011, 1:50:37 PM

YunieXTidus on July 11, 2011, 1:51:39 PM

YunieXTidus on July 11, 2011, 1:56:48 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOr both. xD Did you manage to type the scenario description without blushing?

nextguardian on July 11, 2011, 1:59:24 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYes, but don't get excited. I blushed all day thinking about it before I typed up that bit. So it doesn't really count, lol.

YunieXTidus on July 11, 2011, 2:00:44 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLmao. Two steps forward, one step back. xD

nextguardian on July 11, 2011, 2:03:46 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYeah, more or less XD

I have a much sweeter scenario in mind, too. But mostly I want to revisit insane Yuji a bit, or maybe make another character similar to that.

Off the top of your head, how to picture Azami and Yuji's first time together?

YunieXTidus on July 11, 2011, 2:13:57 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusDo you remember that one-shot you did a while back? I can't remember the name of it, but it was the YuAza pairing. That was absolutely perfect.

nextguardian on July 11, 2011, 2:21:33 PM

nextguardian on

nextguardian on July 11, 2011, 2:22:16 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAnd shame on you! You neglected one of my fics!

YunieXTidus on July 11, 2011, 2:23:18 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYes that one! And no way! What did I neglect?

nextguardian on July 11, 2011, 2:26:33 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYou neglected my Ikki Tousen fic! Shame on you!

jk. No pressure to read that one. Seriously. I like it for the simple reason that Yuji immediately gets the girl and doesn't suffer for it.

YunieXTidus on July 11, 2011, 3:11:30 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol I've been so busy this summer I've hardly had time for reading actual published books.

So what are you up to?

nextguardian on July 11, 2011, 3:15:32 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI've had the opposite problem. I've been reading too much or something. But then again, there are worse things, I suppose.

Not much at this point. Just winding down, getting ready to go to sleep (hopefully). I haven't been sleeping well for some reason. :/

How about you?

YunieXTidus on July 11, 2011, 3:18:23 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusTrying to get my country radio station on my phone to work, and trying not to think about Dylan. XD. He's been all I can think about since Friday night.

nextguardian on July 11, 2011, 3:27:30 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianMore power to you, on both counts.

I think I'm going to call it a night. My thoughts are becoming more and more random. Have a good night!

YunieXTidus on July 10, 2011, 1:13:44 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHaha I told her my female friend bit me. That friend'a weird so she bought it. I really miss him now though. It'll be 4 months minimum before I get to see him again.

What's up?

nextguardian on July 10, 2011, 1:19:05 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlmao that's pretty handy, having a friend like that. It would be kinda hot to see...never mind. lol. Geez, you've really ruined me, haven't you?

Not much. Just wishing I could post more of that co-op fic I was doing with Andr28a. 'Insane' Yuji was such a fun character to work with. And it really sucks that I never got to say which girl got Yuji in the end.

How about you? Back home yet? Or still traveling?

YunieXTidus on July 10, 2011, 1:22:55 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLmao well if it ever actually happens I'll have someone take a picture and I'll send it to you.

Gosh I miss him though. And he can kiss like nobody's business.

Well you could always do it anyway, as a separate story.

Still traveling, but I've got less than an hour to go.

nextguardian on July 10, 2011, 1:28:48 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, thanks. Please do.

Congrats on such a catch :)

Yeah, I guess. But I'll wait to see if he's cool with it. It doesn't seem right to just do it.

Cool. Had to be a long freakin' trip!

YunieXTidus on July 10, 2011, 1:31:42 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol well, he actually had me on my back. That's how close it got. XD

Well, maybe you'll shake him out of his writer's block.

Haha the plane ride was an hour, but the car ride is like, 5 hours.

nextguardian on July 10, 2011, 1:34:56 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianDamn, nice! Sounds like you had a good trip, then.

Maybe. I'm hoping some of my other work will help inspire him. If nothing else, I'd like to wrap up all of my current series so I can work on some new stuff.

Well, that's not too bad, then.

YunieXTidus on July 10, 2011, 1:36:49 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusDamn straight. I do regret not going through with it, though. I won't see him for another 4 months minimum. ;_;

Good idea.

Not bad at all compared to some of my other trips.

nextguardian on July 10, 2011, 1:47:57 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt'll all work out. You've at least got someone. Not being able to see him sucks, but the relationship exists. That's something.

I'm the type that hates traveling, but loves to go places, if that makes any sense. lol.

YunieXTidus on July 10, 2011, 1:55:09 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell it's not a concrete relationship. We both told the other we really like each other, but the relationship itself hasn't been proclaimed.

Lol you're a weird one.

nextguardian on July 10, 2011, 2:03:26 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianDetails, details! Nah, it'll all work out. If you've gotten that far, you're 7/8 of the way there.

Yeah, I am. No hesitation in admitting it at all. lol.

YunieXTidus on July 10, 2011, 2:11:00 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, I hope you're right. 4 months... I may die.

Lol nothing wrong with that! I'm weird, myself. Most of my friends are too.

How do you feel about smoking?

nextguardian on July 10, 2011, 2:19:55 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIf I haven't after 2 years of unrequited love...you'll be okay ;)

It's just a way of life ^^ Beats being 'normal'. Whatever that is.

I don't personally, but I have no problem with it.

YunieXTidus on July 10, 2011, 2:24:15 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYou poor thing. Two years... T-T not helping!

True that!

Well, Dylan smokes Marlboro reds, an it makes him smell good. Or rathwr, it adds to his smell-goodness. Not to mention it didn't make his mouth taste bad at all. XD if you ever start smoking, that's the kind of cigarette I recommend.

nextguardian on July 10, 2011, 2:32:48 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThe objecy of your affection knows you exist. lol, mine doesn't. But that's okay. I'm so over her! lmao. Well, I'm working on it, anyway. But in your case, if you went that far and came that close, it'll probably work out for you :) No joke.

Hmm, intersting. I thought about it, but only very occasionally for my anxiety. It's supposed to work wonders for that. But thank you for the tip ^^ Umm...let's see, what can I say in return? Um...oh! Miniskirts always work, especially if you, for some reason, feel the need to kick really high to show a guy how flexible you are!

YunieXTidus on July 10, 2011, 2:37:51 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAww. Well, thanks. I hope you're right.

Lmao. I don't really do miniskirts. Skirts in general aren't my thing.

nextguardian on July 10, 2011, 2:45:18 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThis is one of the few instances where I can be nearly 100% sure I'm right.

lol, well then, at least you got a totally useless male perspective on that! XD

YunieXTidus on July 10, 2011, 2:49:10 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell would you still say that if I told you he was telling his friends that while we were behind that car, I gave him a blowjob? Even though I definitely did not.

Lol well thanks. xD

nextguardian on July 10, 2011, 3:04:21 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI would say he's probably being a normal guy and that you should just laugh it off. Then again, I'm not normal, so...lol.

Glad I could be of no help whatsoever! (lol, sounds like Hawkeye from MASH)

YunieXTidus on July 10, 2011, 3:07:29 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI just don't understand his logic here. Why bother lying about it when it'll probably happen later on? Well... why bother lying, period?

nextguardian on July 10, 2011, 3:19:49 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWell, I would guess it's an attempt to impress his friends. I admit, that would be much more impressive than a near miss. But then again, I'm not the type to kiss and tell anyway. (shrug) Probably some sort of flawed logic, or someone called him on it and asked what happened.

YunieXTidus on July 10, 2011, 3:44:02 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, we girls talk about EVERYTHING, so I guess I shouldn't make such a big deal of it. I really want to see him again.

YunieXTidusNot done reading it, but what I've read so far is awesome!

What are you up to?

YunieXTidus on July 5, 2011, 4:10:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI commented! I hope you do more like that, cause that was a really amazing read.

nextguardian on July 5, 2011, 4:28:50 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianGlad you liked it ^^ Unfortunately, that was all I had planned to write. It was originally going to be in our co-op fic, but it got too big so I decided to just flesh out the rest of it into a long one-shot. I loved the schrodinger's cat as a concept for an episode ever since I read about the experiment. And the alternate reality thing was fun, too.

YunieXTidus on July 5, 2011, 4:30:34 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI think it would be fun to work an alternate reality into our co-op. Speaking of, I really need to get back to work on that. xD I'm sorry to report that I've been most neglectful in my duties.

nextguardian on July 7, 2011, 1:30:00 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt's okay ^^ Sorry I wasn't on last night. My internet simply refused to work, for some reason. It's all good now, despite everything I tried last night failing miserably. Huh. Oh well.

It's a DS9 stand alone story I was doing for fun. I'm hoping to post it this week ^^

YunieXTidus on July 2, 2011, 3:37:17 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOf course. Anything for a friend. :)

I can't wait to read it!

I'm looking up references for the green lantern pic atm. How about you?

nextguardian on July 2, 2011, 3:45:58 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardian:D

I think you'll like it. It felt right the whole time I was writing it, so hopefully it wound up, uh, right!

Just relaxing now; staying calm.

YunieXTidus on July 2, 2011, 4:07:16 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusCan I ask what triggered it?

I'm bristling with ideas for drawing, but right now I'm too tired to act on them. xD I'll head to bed here in a few. Wish I didn't have to get up at 8 tomorrow. ;_;

nextguardian on July 2, 2011, 4:08:55 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm not sure what did it. I think it was my stomach ache. For some reason, stomach aches make me nervous. It was one of the nasty kind that just hits you with no warning.

That's okay; I'm about to log off now myself. Lol, I dare you to draw naked Yuji! ;)

Have a good night, and thanks for helping to talk me through that whole anxiety mess!

YunieXTidus on July 2, 2011, 4:14:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusXD well, only if you draw azami naked first!

Your welcome. I know how horrible those things can be. Night!

nextguardian on July 3, 2011, 2:57:05 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI would if I could. But I can't quite get all the, ahem, lady parts to look quite right. You'd think it would be easier to draw than guys --'

Thanks again :) I'll be late tonight, if I can get on at all. I'm babysitting two of my younger cousins at this 4th of July party thing tonight. But I'll get on as soon as I can.

YunieXTidus on July 4, 2011, 12:20:02 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD You can always use another drawing as reference for her physique. Until you get it down how it feels to draw it. If that makes sense. xDD

Sorry I wasn't around, either. Late night watching Battlestar Galactica. On the bright side, I have a Doctor Who marathon at a friend's house to continue! xD I'm hopeless.

nextguardianWell, he had the symptoms of a heart attack, but it was actually his gall bladder. He's fine now, thank you ^^

I loved the sort of dark, sinister overtone it had mostly. Like some big secret being revealed. It seemed torturous, which was a nice touch, too.

No problem :) lol at your comment. I didn't intend to put Holmes in, but he was just the plot device I needed, as it turns out!

YunieXTidus on July 2, 2011, 11:32:29 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWow, I'm really glad he's okay!

Thanks. I did actually think about it. I think I'll scrap my kakasaku/hisayama fic and start my own "origins" story, kind of like your co op with andr28a.

nextguardian on July 2, 2011, 11:36:31 AM

YunieXTidusI'm thinking about drawing a transformed-Hisako, to break my new colored pencils in. I've also toyed with drawing a green lantern Amy. I love the green lantern costume.

Any thing new? Any new story ideas?

nextguardian on July 2, 2011, 12:31:54 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'd like to see both of those ^^

Well, I've got my HF YuAza fic in my mind. Hopefully that won't take too long to write. But right now I'm working on Serving and Mercenaries II.

How about you? Any ideas for YuSaku?

YunieXTidus on July 2, 2011, 12:37:36 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI can't wait to start working on them!

Gal gal, its a secret.

nextguardian on
nextguardianMe, too!

Oh yeah, that's right. Lol. Okay, well I'll be nice and give you a hint about AzaYu: He will get a chance to dominate her a bit, but she'll match him. And it'll all start with an innocent one night stand.

YunieXTidus on July 2, 2011, 12:54:57 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI may do that tomorrow afternoon.

Lol sounds awesome. Can't wait to read it!

nextguardian on July 2, 2011, 1:00:49 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYay! Can't wait!

Later on down the line, can I pester you to illustrate a couple scenes from my fics?

It's been rattling around in my mind. The ultimate way for Yuji to be controlled. Lol, it's damned sinister, but kind of hot, to.

YunieXTidus on July 2, 2011, 1:18:44 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOf course!

Definitely, it definitely is. xD

nextguardian on July 2, 2011, 1:22:58 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYay, thanks! I was thinking stuff like Yuji and Azami's first kiss from Mercenaries, and...well, some stuff I can't tell you about because it hasn't happened in Serving yet!

I've been thinking of ways Yuji could dominate Azami. Do you have any ideas?

YunieXTidus on July 2, 2011, 1:27:20 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOf course, I'll do my best.

Lol no, not really. I was just thinking simple things, like him leading the way into the bedroom and calling the shots from there.

nextguardian on July 2, 2011, 1:29:12 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThanks! (incidentally, you've also got my okay to draw Azami and Yuji in various states of undress. It kind of goes hand it hand with those two, doesn't it?)

Ah, okay, that's fine. I've got some ideas.

You should have Hisako dominate Yamato.

YunieXTidus on July 2, 2011, 1:39:35 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHeh it definitely crossed my mind. It'll give me something to do.

Heh, she does that on a day to day basis.

nextguardian on July 2, 2011, 1:47:03 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'll have to see if I can find a reference for Azami's figure. She's not built like Tsunade. More like...Ah! Here!


http://konachan.com/post/show?md5=6f6b72f942ca533e2f303d97875f7596
(The pic is massive, but it shows the figure I have in mind for Azami)

lol, fair enough. You should document that at some point!

YunieXTidus on July 2, 2011, 1:50:03 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNice. I'll remember that.

Lol maybe I will in my new naruto story.

nextguardian on July 2, 2011, 1:54:33 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI think Azami is way more fun to write about than Yuji ^^ You just can't go wrong with a female bounty hunter character.

That would be so funny! I was already hooked on this story idea of yours. That would be icing on the cake, though! lol.

YunieXTidus on July 2, 2011, 2:24:47 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHaha well yuji isn't alluring and sensual and seductive! Lol THAT would be interesting to read about.

Lol well it's settled then!

nextguardian on July 2, 2011, 2:35:24 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianMaybe I'll do that someday. Actually, I am. I'm going to write from a girl POV (don't know which one) and have her crush on Yuji for a change.

You've got to do it! You've got the power!

YunieXTidus on July 2, 2011, 2:37:24 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNow THAT is definitely something I look forward to reading

XD nice.

What's up tonight?

nextguardian on July 2, 2011, 3:03:59 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'll have fun writing it, too, I think ^^

You go girl! (Whoa, 80's throwback!)

Just had a little anxiety trouble a moment ago. I'm good now. Sorry for the long wait on the reply --'

YunieXTidus on July 2, 2011, 3:05:56 PM

YunieXTidusWell, when you get on tomorrow, I have a little surprise for you to cheer you up. :) I was catching up on Shippuden, and for some reason this idea just kind of slapped me in the face, and I had to pause my episode to write it down. Let me know what you think.


Hisako gingerly placed her fingertips over the puncture marks of Kisame’s shark-like fangs, a disbelieving look claiming her face. When had he gotten past her defenses? She staggered back as Kisame did the same; any who saw the scene would have thought they were mirroring each other. His tattered Akatsuki cloak flapped in the wind, and her long brown hair whipped about her scratched and bruised face. Her lips parted to form a question when her skin began to tingle. Self satisfaction twisted the swordsman’s lips up in a menacing smirk, even as Hisako’s skin began to itch and burn like nothing she’d ever felt. At first it was just a nuisance, like a mosquito bite, but it escalated until the pain brought bursts of white light to her eyes. The sides of her neck began to ache, and then a searing pain like razor-sharp claws being dragged across her jugular began. A strangled moan began in the back of her throat, and before long it was a devastating shriek that had Kisame covering his ears with a wince. Her skin split apart in three places on each side of her neck, about three inches long, and she dragged her fingertips along the edge of them, only to jerk her hand away as if she’d been burned. She tossed a helpless look at Kisame, whose grin widened to reveal his sharp teeth.

“Take a look at yourself,” he called to her, rolling back on his haunches. Hisako held a shaking hand to her face- and gasped. Her skin was slowly shifting from a healthy peach to a sallow grey, and then a light blue, only a few shades darker than Kisame. Scales were beginning to emerge in several places, shimmering iridescent blue, catching the forest light magnificently. Very small, translucent webs began to form between each finger, and her fingernails elongated before her eyes into sharp, deadly nails. Her tongue snaked across her dry lips, and she winced as it snagged on her now sharp fangs, bringing blood to her mouth. Out of nowhere, a searing pain lanced up her spine, bringing her to her knees. She knew without having to look that her spine was elongating, each vertebrae becoming more pronounced against her brilliant blue skin. Her hair blew across her face, and if she could have, she would have gasped- it was now a dark, stormy blue, rather than the russet that it had previously been.

“What… what have you done to me?” She half-screamed, her fingers clawing at the dirt in pain and frustration.

“I’ve showed you your inheritance. The genetic lock is broken.” Kisame stood, and Hisako tensed. He cupped his hands together, blew into them, and threw his hands skyward- water that hadn’t been there before showered around them both, gathering in front of her in the shape of a mirror. She looked at herself and shook her head in disbelief. Her icy blue eyes stared back at her, seemingly colder than before. She looked… well, she looked like Kisame. More glorious, somehow. Noble.

“I don’t understand,” Hisako whispered, her strength slowly returning. With shaking hands she slowly pushed herself to her feet, unable to tear her eyes away from the mirror. It disentigrated in front of her, the water slowly spreading over the forest floor to nourish the ground.

“Of course you do,” Kisame replied in a placating, if not condescending, voice. “You never wondered why no one noticed you? You never felt that you were born for so much more than being a shadow?” Venom laced his voice now, and she met his eyes. “You never wondered who your father was? Why you felt so called to the water? How you were so completely and fundamentally different from your mother?”

At that, Hisako tried to sputter together a defense for her mother, but Kisame’s knowing look stopped her cold.

“Your surname isn’t Mutakami.” As if she knew what he was about to say, her hands flew to her ears and she shook her head in repeated denial, though she could clearly read his lips- “It’s Hoshigaki.”

nextguardianI'm okay, thank you ^^

Oh? Do tell!

YunieXTidus on June 30, 2011, 1:24:39 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNothing horribly exciting, lol. Actually, you were a girl. I was making you food, and then I looked at you and you were a girl. I was like, "uh okay..." and then I woke up.

nextguardian on June 30, 2011, 1:27:02 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlmao, what the hell?! Geez. XD That's a first for me. I'm flattered in an odd sort of way! Maybe our conversation last night got to you?

YunieXTidus on June 30, 2011, 1:29:30 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol I guess so! XD I was surprised, to say the least. And you were blonde, to boot!

nextguardian on June 30, 2011, 1:31:13 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI have just one question:
Was I sexy? Like, model sexy? Or cute? Or just ugly?
XD

nextguardian on June 30, 2011, 1:41:19 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianand what kind of food were you making? XD

YunieXTidus on June 30, 2011, 1:51:13 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol I don't remember. It was just food.

nextguardian on June 30, 2011, 1:56:18 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianCool, just curious ^^

I need to finish up AmyJulian and that Azami/Yuji interrogation pic. --' Blah, I'm just not creative tonight.

YunieXTidus on June 30, 2011, 2:12:38 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIt happens to the best of us!

nextguardianThe only thing I'm getting ideas for is Serving and 'Mercenaries II'. But those are the last things I need to work on! I think job hunting is killing me, lol. It's a mercy killing.

Oh, sorry to hear that.

I did. I actually made one like the day before your birthday. I was annoyed with myself at the way I shortened up a few of Azami's scenes and was all set to post there. I just never did. I'm curious_onlooker there. But I haven't touched the account, since I don't actually hang out there.

YunieXTidus on June 29, 2011, 1:25:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD Fair point, but... PINS AND NEEDLES! Pins and needles.

Well, there'll be other days.

xD I love that. Did you take a look at the two stories I posted? You asked about them, but I never did hear any feedback. xD I feel like I'm fishing for compliments, but I really just want your opinion.

nextguardian on June 29, 2011, 1:30:18 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, don't worry. You're getting filet mignon quality over 1/4 pounder quality for your trouble!

True enough. Me, I told all my 'friends' to bite me. Unrealiable bunch, they are. Except for one. The last one you'd think be reliable. He's kinda like Hyde from That 70's show minus the pot.

Oh, crap. I forgot all about them. I'll rectify that in short order.
I think I'll mess around a bit on HF. Maybe I'll change my personality or something in my comments for fun.

YunieXTidus on June 29, 2011, 1:32:14 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, dern, skippy! It better be as impressive as you say, or I may make Sakura do horrible, mean things to Yuji! >:3

Lol it happens. Here:
http://www.hentai-foundry.com/story-5756.html

xD If only it were that simple in real life.

nextguardian on June 29, 2011, 1:37:29 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHa! Your threat is empty! I've already done EVERYTHING to that poor guy! Short of cutting of his-
okay, crap. There is that. But I've done everything else!

Cool, thanks.

Yeah, really.

While we're on the subject, do you have any ideas for SakYu yet? I'm playing with YuAza in a few concepts. I've established she's going to wear a garter on her left leg with a knife it. That's hot for some reason ^^'

YunieXTidus on June 29, 2011, 1:42:37 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, damn. If I did that, I wouldn't have much of a story, would I? xD

Sure thing.

Tsk tsk! No asking! It's a surprise.

nextguardian on June 29, 2011, 1:46:26 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlmao, I suppose not. Unless you make him into a her completely...although I'd rather you didn't go that route!

Fair enough! Then I'll ask your opinion about what should happen in YuAza.

YunieXTidus on June 29, 2011, 1:47:48 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHeh heh heh heh heh.....

Hey, it's your story! xD Although I do think it would be an interesting twist if she made him be the dominant one for a change. xD Seeing Yuji be clueless just makes my day. xDDD

nextguardian on June 29, 2011, 1:53:39 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh my, I seem to have given you a rather nasty idea. I've really damned my poor OC. On the other hand, you could also be extra nice to him and have Ino jump in, too! Or Tenten. Or both.

Oh, that's a good idea. The poor bastard doesn't know HOW to mistreat a girl. Nice idea!

YunieXTidus on June 29, 2011, 1:55:51 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLmao maybe I'll let Naruto have his way with h(im)er.... ;)

xD That would be epic.

nextguardian on June 29, 2011, 2:07:37 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIf it's the girl version of Naruto...lol. You're mean. But it would be interesting, I don't deny that. Just totally weird from my standpoint. In a hot way. I think. I mean, what more control could she have over him? That's like, domination to the max! lol. But still...poor guy. He would have to fall for the genius medic.

I'd really have to think about that one. But it could be fun...

YunieXTidus on June 29, 2011, 2:09:18 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, you don't have to be a medic to be really good at the transform jutsu! xD That would be a seriously interesting story, to say the least. I don't think I'll be THAT mean. xD

Haha, I'm sure it would be quite liberating for you- I mean, Yuji. Somehow.

nextguardian on June 29, 2011, 2:15:29 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, I'm retarded. I was thinking she was going to alter him permanently. Duh, transformation jutsu. So, very nice, then!

lol, probably. And he'll pay for it, too, I'm sure. lol.

YunieXTidus on June 29, 2011, 2:18:22 PM

YunieXTidusO_O How cruel do you think I AM??!

nextguardianThe sinister laugh threw me off, okay?! XD

What if I made Azami a stripper? Hmm.

YunieXTidus on June 29, 2011, 2:22:07 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusXD fair enough.

Lol I wouldn't be surprised. (Sorry, azami!)

nextguardian on June 29, 2011, 2:28:36 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYou don't usually evil laugh. Next time I'll take it less seriously. Shame on me for doubting you!

Yeah, that's true. Too bad. Oh well. I made her 'bad'. At least I didn't make her a hooker or something.

YunieXTidus on June 29, 2011, 2:34:57 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusXD

Lol I would believe yuji falling for a hooker. That's how rotten his luck is.

nextguardian on June 29, 2011, 2:36:21 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol I can't wait to find out what you'll make him do XD

It really is. But thankfully, I made him in my own image, so he wouldn't touch her. Sucks for him. Hope my love life will suck less.

YunieXTidus on June 29, 2011, 2:43:07 PM

nextguardianQuestion 1: It's done for the summer, and I also would like to do it less. I'd rather it was a side job, rather than a career at this point.

Question 2: Okay!

Question 3: Cool. I'll accept your challenge once I've cleared off a couple other projects. Namely AmyXJulian! If you could pick any scenario for me to do for HF, what would you pick?

YunieXTidus on June 28, 2011, 1:08:52 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusDefinitely yusaku or azayu! Do you want any requests?

nextguardian on June 28, 2011, 1:14:45 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHmm, very tempting! Would you care to attempt either one of those (YuSaku/ YuAza), and I'll do the other?

YunieXTidus on June 28, 2011, 1:17:42 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusSure! But you have to go first. ;)

nextguardian on June 28, 2011, 1:21:15 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'll write first; you pick first! XD

YunieXTidus on June 28, 2011, 1:22:35 PM

YunieXTidusI'll do yusaku. You do azayu. XD

nextguardian on June 28, 2011, 1:25:32 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAh, I see what you're doing! (nods sagely) You're trying to get me to do the hardcore stuff, while you do the 'sweet' stuff! I see your plan! XD

YunieXTidus on June 28, 2011, 4:56:17 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusDamn, you caught me. (Disappointed finger snap)

Lol but really, I think it will be good practice! ;)

nextguardian on June 29, 2011, 7:12:06 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, for once being paranoid pays off! XD But it'll be fun, at any rate. I'm worried that I'll make it too fetish-y to the point of it being disgusting now XD

I'm just picturing how I could work Yuji into the Vampire Knight world now. I actually think that has the most interesting cast of characters of most of what I've read.

I'm so bad with names and birthdays. If I don't write it down, it's totally out of my head. But once the name and numbers stick, they stay forever.

YunieXTidus on June 23, 2011, 4:01:51 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusDish!

nextguardian on June 23, 2011, 4:11:10 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, well, okay. One buddy of mine is kind of androgenous looking, and he just does and says stupid things constantly that make quite a few people tell him he's gay. So one time, I ran into him at some school thing as I was walking out of the bathroom. I said hi and kept moving.
Another buddy of mine comes along. He also gets ragged on because of his multiple piercings. So anyway, I'm hanging around, waiting for these two to show up. It took a while, but I see them come out of the bathroom- together. The androgenous one is being half-carried by the pierced guy.
So I kind of raised an eyebrow, looked at this scene playing out in front of me, and ask 'So, uh, fellas. What were you up to there? I'm pretty sure there's only the one toilet, so..."

In reality, the androgenous dude had slipped and fallen (which was funny by itself, if I'm honest), and the piercings guy had rescued him.

Oh, and there was the time the androgenous guy (I'll call him "alex" from now on) showed up wearing these really ridiculous looking purple shoes. They looked like something you'd see on a thirteen year old girl.
so the next time we're set to hang out, I give him a little present. Girls purple short-shorts and this matching tank top thing that went with it.
Not content to let me win, Alex puts them both on. He looked, quite frankly, like an @$$. so I laughed my fool head off. And I kept laughing when he couldn't get the too-tight clothes off, and then fell over with the shorts trapped around his thighs and the tank top over his face.

That's just a couple little bits, but that's how these guys normally are. And no, neither one is actually gay or anything. But with Alex's 'fashion sense', it was bound to come up.

Oh, and I asked him to describe his girlfriend once. He didn't even know her hair color! You'd kind of think he might have noticed after dating her for a solid two months...

nextguardianHey, awesome! Congrats!

YunieXTidus on June 23, 2011, 1:03:50 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThanks! You can now talk as dirty to me as you want. ;)

nextguardian on June 23, 2011, 1:09:42 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlmao! Yes! In two hours I can. Woo-hoo!

You know...I was thinking about that story you wrote. About Hisako and Naruto a while back. Maybe you should submit that on the hentai foundry. That was really good. It seems a shame not to share it.

YunieXTidus on June 23, 2011, 1:10:50 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThe hentai foundry? (Confused face)

nextguardian on June 23, 2011, 1:13:35 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThe 18+ version of FAC. I can link you T- 2 hours and counting, if you want. I've never submitted there, but then again I've never done any fic or pic warranting it either.

YunieXTidus on June 23, 2011, 1:16:50 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOoh, I didn't even know they had that!

I'm watching in plain sight right now. I thought about drawing a 'happy birthday' pic for myself once the clock turned.

nextguardian on June 23, 2011, 1:23:54 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThey didn't use to. The site's only a couple years old. FAC got too overloaded with porn-ish pics, so they split off.

That's about the only USA show I haven't caught yet. I'm just usually doing something else when it's on.
If I had known the specific day in advance, I would have totally written something for you! I still plan to, actually, if you don't mind it being a little late. Any requests?

YunieXTidus on June 23, 2011, 1:26:41 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAww! You could always write me another tenzoxhisako, or! I know! Julianxamy!!! Omg! xD

nextguardian on June 23, 2011, 1:34:32 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianCan and will do :)

YunieXTidus on June 23, 2011, 1:37:02 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWhich one?

nextguardian on June 23, 2011, 1:43:44 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI haven't decided for sure yet. I was thinking AmyJulian because I haven't done that yet.

YunieXTidus on June 23, 2011, 1:44:47 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYou're getting me excited! That would be an awesome birthday present.

nextguardian on June 23, 2011, 1:51:48 PM

nextguardianThen it shall be done! :)

YunieXTidus on June 23, 2011, 2:00:58 PM

YunieXTidusYay! (Glomp)

nextguardian on June 23, 2011, 2:11:55 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardian:D

Oh, I'm almost done with my portion of Asuna's pic. I changed it yet again to make the pic look less crowded. It's come out nice so far. I just need to add a couple more details and I'll pass it back to you.

YunieXTidus on June 23, 2011, 2:14:16 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusCan't wait!

nextguardian on June 23, 2011, 2:25:55 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianShouldn't be long, on either count.

So, how much longer now? And you can probably change your occupation, come to think.

YunieXTidus on June 23, 2011, 2:27:20 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus50 minutes! Lol I can! Thanks for reminding me. But what to change it to...

nextguardian on June 23, 2011, 2:29:48 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianCool. Then in fifty minutes I'll send you that link, lol.
Hmm...Good question. I don't have any ideas for you. I'm tired after job hunting today --'

YunieXTidus on June 23, 2011, 2:32:17 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusKay!

Poor thing. After a stressful day like that, you'd need something to wind down...

nextguardian on June 23, 2011, 2:35:03 PM

nextguardianI gotta warn you. I just checked it out, and it gets pretty hardcore right off the bat.
lol, bring this up again in 42 minutes XD

YunieXTidus on June 23, 2011, 2:36:18 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol I'm used to it. ;)

nextguardian on June 23, 2011, 2:40:12 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardian(Shrug) 'kay. I've thought about submitting stuff there, but I always chicken out. Just once, I'd really like to have Yuji and someone go at it. Especially Azami. It would be fun to not have to hold back with her antics XD

So, whatcha up to now?

YunieXTidus on June 23, 2011, 2:41:47 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWatching more in plain sight. You?

I think you should, at least once.

nextguardian on June 23, 2011, 2:48:03 PM

'Mercenaries' has been updated with it's finale chapter. Enjoy!

YunieXTidus on June 22, 2011, 9:40:03 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAlright, fair point. xD

Ooh! Can't wait to read it. I also need to read serving, now that you mention it.

How are you tonight?

nextguardian on June 22, 2011, 12:08:20 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt's self defense! XD Oh, you asked me once what I found attractive on girls. Black, thigh-high stockings are hot imho.

Enjoy! Enjoy both!

Not bad. Better than yesterday, thank you. How about you?

YunieXTidus on June 22, 2011, 12:11:56 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus(Crooks her finger in your direction) Are you adventurous enough to find out?

nextguardianFirst tell me if you got any sleep at that sleepover last night...

YunieXTidus on June 22, 2011, 12:17:33 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat's tonight, dear. Not last night. And I daresay we won't be sleeping much, if any.

nextguardian on June 22, 2011, 12:22:29 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHeck, I can't keep my own schedule straight, much less yours! XD
Very nice! And lucky you! I promise you, any sleepovers I have are video games and sleep. Period. (Sadly, this would apply to male and female guests -_-' Damn)

YunieXTidus on June 22, 2011, 12:30:22 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol not if I was sleeping over! I'm sure I could coerce you into the bedroom. ;)

nextguardian on June 22, 2011, 12:31:07 PM

nextguardianlol, you're probably right. Getting me to do anything, though. I'd freeze up or pass out, or have a heart attack or something, probably. (Though I hope not!)

YunieXTidusIf I were there, I'd so give you a massage! Other than this fly buzzing the crap out of me, and my internet not working, I'm dandy! :)

nextguardian on June 21, 2011, 12:26:11 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlmao, thanks. On the upside, Asuna's gotten some more work. This time, I'm doing the landscape first. I've simplified it to make it less crowded. I'll probably have to pass it off to you for shading, because I can't match yours in style or skill.

YunieXTidus on June 21, 2011, 12:27:31 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI mean it! I give marvelous massages. And I'm flattered!

nextguardian on June 21, 2011, 12:37:13 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt wouldn't hurt now. Although I do feel like I'm overreacting. It's not like anything major has happened, so I shouldn't be so bothered by it. (Shrug) I'll get over it.

I just need to get the writing a little better. I know how to write contemporary Japanese. I haven't really done the calighraphy before. But I think I can. I know the mechanics; I just need to do it.

YunieXTidus on June 21, 2011, 12:47:21 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI think I'll turn in early tonight though. I have another sleepover tomorrow, and I need to catch up on my z's! XD

nextguardian on June 19, 2011, 5:00:38 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt would be different in person, I'd imagine. I'd probably become a drooling neanderthal like all the other guys XD

Besides, I'm making an active attempt to keep it mild. (Though it's not far from the truth here, believe me!)

(Slaps face) Okay, here we go. *Tugs shirt up. Cue nosebleed and other sorts of bloodflow XD*

YunieXTidus on June 19, 2011, 5:05:50 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol I can feel the activeness.

Lol I'm gonna let you off the hook tonight. XD I'm afraid you'll go into cardiac arrest or something.

nextguardian on June 19, 2011, 5:08:43 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThere are so many stupid restrictions on what you can and can't say/type/think these days -_-' you'd think there'd be a difference between people having fun and true perverts. (Shakes head).

lol, if you have excess pent-up 'energy', you could always draw my OC(s) naked. I think that would make me blush more than anything.

YunieXTidus on June 19, 2011, 5:12:05 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol it would be different if it were private. xD

Lol I don't think I'm up for that.

nextguardian on June 19, 2011, 5:16:38 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYeah. Although it's always good to excerise the same restraint online as you would in person.
(Starting to see why I go home alone XD)

lol, I didn't think you would. Although I'm curious as to how others would handle them. Mostly because I can't draw them myself.

Oh, about Azami's back and Yuji's chest- do you think shading would correct the problems there?

YunieXTidus on June 19, 2011, 5:19:46 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh, if it were in person, I couldn't let you go alone. xD I'm too stubborn for that.

Hmm. I'll look at it again in the morning and get back to you.

nextguardianOh, sure. I've still got that from last time.

((I hate to interrupt the wordplay, but would you care to see a very early version of what I'm doing with Asuna?
The pic. Not the girl, fictional or otherwise.
See what you've done to me? You've corrupted me!
I hope you're proud! I hope you feel big!
(sniffle)
Yeah, that's right!))

YunieXTidus on June 19, 2011, 1:39:10 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'd like to feel something else, if you catch my drift. ;)

And I was being 100% serious the whole time.

Yes, I'd love to see what you're doing with Asuna! Bring on the softcore porn!

nextguardian on June 19, 2011, 1:44:48 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh? What's that? What is it you want to feel? You're going to have to tell me. I can't read between the lines!

^^' lol. There's a fic for what I'm doing with Asuna. But I'll send you the pic with her praying for Japan instead. XD It'll be in your email inbox in a few secs.

Wow, you're frisky tonight. Kind of makes me wish I wasn't way over here, lmao.

YunieXTidus on June 19, 2011, 2:01:42 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus(Grabs right for the gold)

Not bad.

Lol you have NOOO idea. I'm extremely worked up right now. xD

nextguardian on June 19, 2011, 2:04:49 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlmao! Watch where you aim that vigor. I need that thing!

So, waht got you wound, if I can ask?

So, the point is:
Mount Fuji in the back.
A Tori gate over her
Japanese flag in the top right corner
Toru Nagashi (lanterns to guide dead ancestors)
Bamboo in classic art style

It WILL get better. Why is it so bad after I've been working on it for so long? Because I scrapped my previous idea.

YunieXTidus on June 19, 2011, 2:15:18 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI have a gentle touch, don't worry. ;)

Lol my friend spent all of Friday talking extremely dirty to me, and I haven't had any alone time to correct that problem. xD. So...3 days of nonstop worked-up-ness.

Well hey, you'll get it.

nextguardian on June 19, 2011, 2:18:45 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWell, alright, I guess I'll have to trust you XD

Ah, I see. That'll do it.

Hopefully. I tried to hit a bunch of parts of Japanese culture. Once I actually take my time and improve on them, it'll be good to go.

YunieXTidus on June 19, 2011, 2:29:17 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusPromise!

Well, you could help me out with that. ;)

nextguardian on June 19, 2011, 2:39:04 PM

YunieXTidusI meant in person, but.... ;)

(Sultry voice) So. what are you wearing?

nextguardian on June 19, 2011, 3:08:45 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol.

Just a pair of sleepshorts. They're a bit snug, really. But my exercise routine is paying off. Flat abs and tight muscles :) How about you?

YunieXTidus on June 19, 2011, 3:12:05 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusJust a baggy t-shirt. I decided not to bother with the underwear. My friend is sitting next to me on the couch, too.

nextguardian on June 19, 2011, 3:20:19 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, nice!

lol, it makes me think of Kate and Abby. The 'maybe we can share Tony' part.
((Wow, you really did ruin me XD))

YunieXTidus on June 19, 2011, 3:32:32 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYou'd like to be shared by two attractive, half naked women, hmm?

nextguardian on June 19, 2011, 3:38:28 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt occured to me that I should have made sure your friend was female first.
But, well, sort of. Granted, I'm more the relationship type, but I'd have a hard time saying no to that. Anyone would

XD You're having fun, aren't you?

YunieXTidus on June 19, 2011, 3:42:39 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol I'd be having more fun if it were in person and I could see your bashful expressions. Shyness turns me on, you know.

nextguardian on June 19, 2011, 3:48:05 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThen I think you'd be in near agony. They don't come much more shy than me. I'll admit to blushing a fair bit thus far.

YunieXTidus on June 19, 2011, 4:01:44 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat actually made me bite my lip a bit.

(Twines her fingers in your hair and bats her eyelashes at you) so, what are you up to?

nextguardian on June 19, 2011, 4:05:01 PM

nextguardian(More blushing)

Mostly daydreaming about seeing all this in person XD How about you?

YunieXTidus on June 19, 2011, 4:15:05 PM

nextguardianOh, duh. Sorry, I completely forgot to answer the first part of your comment! I'll trust your judgement. If you say he's good, then he's fine by me :)

No, just angry with the job market. I was all set for a good one when the whole department got axed. That's a downer for sure. -_-' Oh well.
I started playing with backgrounds for that pic I was doing. They all suck so far XD

YunieXTidusAlso, I had a conversation with my friend that I thought you should hear bits and pieces from. The one you were bashing yesterday xD

'When it comes to you I'm torn between being responsible and putting a brotherly gap, and then doing some really sexual stuff. On that day (referring to the day I offered myself- you remember), I thought, I'd rather do it wrong one more time with (his ex girlfriend) than breach that gap between you and me. Like somehow that was more acceptable. And I didn't think that maybe you really were invested in it between you and me. Right now, I am not relationship material. However, my urges are still there. I just at times don't want you to get too invested in me. I've had that happen and I don't want to hurt you like that. Which is why I say, fun for fun's sake is okay, but anything more right now, I can't be. I really would like to share that stuff with you because I can trust you and I think you understand. But that's just me being selfish. It doesn't address your feelings, and it will make you feel used after.'

So he's moved on from his girlfriend - sexually at least- and has now fixated on me, apparently. Sexually, at least. xD Which is novel, all on its own. He usually just flirts a bit, then backs down. So all this undivided attention is quite flattering. But don't worry, I'm not naive. Actually, this whole conversation started when I was a little hesitant with the flirting. He picked up on the fact that I've 'been a little distant ever since that day.' He wanted me to explain because he knew he hurt me, but he didn't understand the whole thing.

Anyway, my point is, he's really a caring guy who makes stupid mistakes sometimes. Really, he's really a great guy.

I'm not sure why it's so important to me that you respect him. xD

nextguardianIt's not like me. In rl or the internet. Especially not in front of girls.

More power to you there. You seem like you're really good at observing human nature in general.

lol, he probably did and I don't remember. It just seemed like a DiNozzo thing to do XD I've really got to continue that at some point. I admit, I'm a sucker for TonyXZiva. And to some degree, McGeeXAbby. Even though I want Abby... lol.
Let me guess...you're a Ducky fan! No, no, Palmer! Am I right?

YunieXTidus on June 16, 2011, 3:33:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI like figuring out how people work. What drives them, how they process things, how they react to different things. Their character. Etc, etc. xD Maybe I should go into psychology.

Lol I DO love Palmer. But I'm definitely a McGee fan.

nextguardian on June 16, 2011, 3:36:54 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianMight not be a bad idea. You're good at it. You could probably profile me from out chats, even without my real life mannerisms and body language.

D'oh! I missed the obvious one! I thought of Ducky's accent and Palmer's height. McGee! Gah! The obvious choice!

Well, I've got to go for tonight. Again, really sorry for your loss :(

YunieXTidus on June 16, 2011, 3:38:31 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol probably so.

Duh! I told you I have a thing for nerds. ;) Especially after his wardrobe improvement in the recent seasons.

nextguardianYeah, I suppose so :D I just don't picture him being that buff.
So, where there anything I could fix? Is Azami's figure okay? Her clothes look okay? Yuji's expression, maybe?
Oh, I know! Azami's back! I'm not sure that it looks right.

I wish I could help. You can pass on my condolences, although I doubt sypmathy from a stranger would be much help :( I totally lost it, too. Although in my case, I lost it before she was put down. For about a week straight, actually.

So, what's up tonight?

YunieXTidus on June 16, 2011, 12:40:58 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI could draw in some guidelines for you, if you want. You just didn't taper in the waist enough, is all. Easily fixable!

I do appreciate it though. And it's totally understandable. The dog was like a child to her. Lol she was supposed to be "my" dog, but I'm just another littermate to my girls. Sometimes, when she loses it... i dunno, it just kinda... pisses me off. I hate to see people cry. Although I'm an internalizer... I don't really cry in front of people, unless it's a movie or a book or something. I don't really cry, period. I don't know if that makes me strong... It's not really healthy. Sorry, I'm kind of rambling.

Watching Battlestar Galactica on netflix. You?

nextguardian on June 16, 2011, 12:49:48 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat would be great :) Thanks!

I know exactly what you mean there, too. My Grandma is the same way. And the older she gets, the more I see that sort of thing, the less time I want to spend with her. Even though I love her dearly, it drives me nuts to think someone has to cry like that.

Watching NCIS, actually. And debating if my pic fits within site content parameters. Would you feel like giving me your opinion on that?

YunieXTidus on June 16, 2011, 12:52:38 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusSure. I'll get that up sometime tomorrow. Although, it'll be from my phone! xD No scanners. But it's a good quality camera, so it should do the job.

Okay, I'm glad I'm not a horrible person. xD I almost spelled that 'whorrible.' The connotations of THAT spelling are not ones I prefer, lmao!

I've seen much worse on FAC. You put shorts on him, for pete's sake! ;] I think it's fine. Just make sure you flag it with the proper warnings. If it gets rejected, then so be it. It'd probably be your first offense, right?

nextguardian on June 16, 2011, 1:06:18 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianCool! Thank you very much!
Do you have any idea on how to draw a convincing scar? I don't like Yuji's very much. They look like lines with bad shading under them. Which, to be fair, they are. I'm hoping the color version will suck less in that respect.

lol, the worst connotation I would have caused would have been a mild joke. But seriously, no, you're not. I don't like seeing weakness in my loved ones. That's why Yuji always winds up with a girl tougher than he is XD

True, but I worry about the sexual overtones. Even though at that point they aren't having sex or anything, it's pretty blatant BDSM...oh well. My first offense, aside from a warning about a really steamy RP back in the day. lol.

YunieXTidus on June 16, 2011, 1:13:46 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI can try!

Yeah. There's something demoralizing about someone you look up to being weak. You know what I mean?

I really don't think it's that huge of a deal. One of the featured pictures on the site has a bit of a nip-slip.

See:
http://www.fanart-central.net/pic-804709.html

They USED to have porn on here. Then they got too many complaints from parents or something, so they had to crack down on their rules, I guess.

nextguardian on June 16, 2011, 1:20:05 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThanks :)

Absolutely. Someone who was a rock in the past isn't so much when you hit your adult life. I totally get it. I get feelings of resent. I think that's why I never bought the 'i'm such a weak and helpless girl' act, or the 'oh, I can't cook myself, I need you!' thing some guys pull.

It's not so much the nudity I'm worried about, I guess (though that did motivate me to clothe Yuji). If Azami had a sword instead of a whip, I would worry. It's the whip that's the killer.
I remember when they did. That's why they added Hentai Foundry. Man, some people thought up some darned, uh, inventive stuff with Sonic the Hedgehog.

YunieXTidus on June 16, 2011, 1:33:07 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusTotally understand.

I don't think there's really that much to worry about.

Lol wow. I never checked out the Sonic stuff. I mostly stayed in the Final Fantasy end of the pool. ;] I can't imagine you looking at Sonic porn! xDD

nextguardian on June 16, 2011, 1:38:24 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI hope not. I'm working on the color now, and I think I've manged to make convincing whip marks that look 'fresh'. But the ones with bruises around them are harder. I've been playing around with a deep purple, like a plum color, combined with red and blue. I'm not sure how it looks yet. Maybe 'infected' is the right word. lol.

I didn't intentionally, except once or twice out of sheer, morbid curiousity. Some of the best artists were drawing that stuff. ZetaR02, for example. she was kind enough to comment on some old work of mine. I went to return the favor, and...wow. lol.

YunieXTidus on June 16, 2011, 1:41:07 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI look forward to seeing it! 'infected' or not.

Rofl nice. One of my favorite artists (who's no longer here) is now a semi-famous hentai artist. I don't remember her username, but she was fabulous. I mean, not -just- cause of the sex, but the artwork itself was beautiful.

nextguardian on June 16, 2011, 1:48:46 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt hsouldn't be long. I'm adding color now. Azami's skin tone is okay, but the scanner will mutilate that if my bumbling attempts at shading don't. Pale-as-a-ghost Yuji is more of a problem. I'm hoping a peach color will work on his skin. I don't want his flesh to look too tender, since he's supposed to be a war hero.

Smut can be beautiful in it's own way. There's an artistic side to almost everything imho.

YunieXTidus on June 16, 2011, 1:50:19 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol true. I would have thought you'd wait to color Azami til I helped you out with her back/waist problem, but (shrug). :P

Fair enough.

nextguardian on June 16, 2011, 2:00:51 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI made copies of it. I wanted to play around with skin tones tonight, and to maybe see if there's too much black in the pic. I was hoping some creative shading might also fix my problem. Don't think so, but I tried. I'm editing it now. I can send it to you shortly.

Meh, that's a subject I don't judge on. We've all got curiousity, lol.

Okay, I'm sending that pic to you in two secs!

YunieXTidus on June 16, 2011, 2:02:05 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAwesome! Can't wait to see it.

Lol very true. Besides, it's very informative.

nextguardian on June 16, 2011, 2:06:04 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAnd sent! Hope it doesn't totally suck ^^'

I'll admit to using some of that stuff as reference for pics I've attempted. I don't exactly have a live model of the female form, now do I? lol. But then again, my stuff isn't pornographic. It's odd to say, but the shading in those kinds of pics is probably the best if you're trying to learn. (No one but another would-be artist would buy that)

YunieXTidus on June 16, 2011, 2:04:00 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAh, I see the problem you're having with Azami. Not bad, actually. I'll send you my 'fixed' version of that tomorrow sometime.

Now that that's done (for now), what's up for the evening?

nextguardian on June 16, 2011, 2:15:45 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThe color is okay? The off the shoulder thing on Azami works okay? lol, I'm worrying too much, I guess.

Not much. Just resting up. It's been a busy day. You?

YunieXTidus on June 16, 2011, 2:18:10 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYou do worry a lot. xD

I would make the bruises a biiiit more pink/red, so they still look like whip marks, you know? The off-the-shoulder thing would work okay, it just looks unnatural, the cut of it i mean. I'll fix that too. xD

Still watching Battlestar Galactica. Nothing terribly exciting.

nextguardian on June 16, 2011, 2:28:49 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt's because I care, lol.

I think you're right. I like the ones on his stomach. They look like she just made them. the others I didn't like. I wanted him to be scarred from battle, too (those are the 'infected' ones on his arm). Not quite the effect I wanted.

Good stuff.

I feel bad asking about your work, but I also feel bad talking about my own all the time. lol. (worrying again, lol)

YunieXTidus on June 16, 2011, 2:43:05 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI would stick with the ones like the one on his stomach. They look pretty good.

Indeed! I'd forgotten how much I love Battlestar Galactica.

Haha, no, I'm sorry, I haven't even touched it, to be honest. xD

Don't feel bad for either! Perfectly alright. :)

Also- remember the friend I told you about? The one I offered myself to and was pissed off at for a while? xD I told him about my dog earlier, and he offered me the same thing I offered him. I'm not quite sure how to take that. xD

nextguardian on June 16, 2011, 2:50:53 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI think you're right.

That's okay! I just don't want to only talk about my work. No pressure on you!

Well, you're not me, so my response, which is barely fit to post even on the internet, isn't something I'll repeat XD
No, seriously, I'd be flattered but suspicious.

YunieXTidus on June 16, 2011, 2:53:19 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh, no. You can't do that to me. What would your reply be?

Lol I'm flattered, for sure. I'm just not sure whether he's offering it because he has feelings for me that he's not saying aloud, or he's offering it because that's what he uses sex for- solace.

nextguardian on June 16, 2011, 2:59:24 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWell...Something along the lines of "**** off you selfish ****k!", accompanied with exactly why I thought he was said...***** ****. But like I said, I'm playing the part of a concerned friend, so you shouldn't take that seriously.

I hate to speak ill of this fellow, but he could just want sex for himself. It wouldn't be the first time someone played at someone's heart like that. I must sound like a jerk saying that, not even knowing the guy. I promise that's not what I'm trying to be. The only personal stake I've got in this is worrying about your feelings getting hurt.

Here, I found something that might cheer you up! I had done this a while ago, but never finished. Enjoy!

Tony slunk low across the floor, ignoring the odd looks he was getting from McGee. He slithered toward his target- Ziva David’s desk. With the grace and agility of a fifth grader cutting class, DiNozzo grabbed the bottom Ziva’s desk and pulled himself underneath it, accompanying it with a ‘whoosh’ sound that he made for fun.

Across the room, McGee shrugged and went back to work. Tony was going to get caught, just like always. There was no point in preaching to him about how wrong it was to try to break into your co-worker’s desk. It was more fun to watch him get caught in the act.

Tongue between his teeth, Tony popped his head up, looking around to make sure the coast was clear. When he saw no one, he ducked back down and began to unfold a paperclip. McGee rolled his eyes, noting that Tony’s overpriced Italian loafers were sticking out of the underside of the desk. Any minute now…
-Ding
McGee smiled to himself. There it was. The sound of the elevator doors opening. DiNozzo’s death knell.

Tony didn’t hear the sound- he was too busy trying to pick a lock with that paperclip. What a ridiculous endeavor that was. Something didn’t sit right with Tony, though, even as he worked. Then it dawned on him. He poked his head up again like a periscope.

“Spill, Elf Lord,” Tony hissed. “Why haven’t you gone off on one of your goody-two-shoes speeches. What’s David got in here? Is it a bomb?”

Wouldn’t put it past her, McGee admitted to himself.
“I’m tired of lecturing you, Tony. It’s obviously not doing any good. So I’m just going to enjoy watching you get caught.”

“I won’t get caught!” Tony managed to say with an air of self-righteousness. “The thing is, probie, you don’t get to be the senior field agent unless you’ve got-”

The drawer popped open, and a white powder cloud exploded all over Tony’s dark gray suit. It caked on his hair and face, which was still frozen in mid-word.
“-skills,” he finished belatedly, sputtering to expel some of the white stuff from his mouth.

McGee hadn’t known this was coming, but it didn’t completely shock him that Ziva’s desk was booby trapped. He was trying not to laugh, because there would be hell to pay in the form of Tony’s razzing if he did. In the end, he gave up, ducking behind his computer monitor to laugh and barely making it.

“See anything you like, Tony?” came the exotic voice belonging to the exotic beauty know as Ziva. She was resting her head and arms on the cubicle partition behind her desk, watching Tony sputter and cough with a wry grin on her face. “What were you looking for, anyway?”

Tony got up, using Ziva’s chair as a crutch, nearly buckling again when it rolled away from him. He stood up ramrod straight, trying to retain something resembling dignity. It was hard when you were covered in white powdered sugar. Ziva was cracking up right to Tony’s face, wounding his pride a fair bit.

“Spill, David,” he said with conviction. “I notice things.”

Ziva managed to stop laughing long enough to give Tony a glance. “Like what?”

“You’ve been wearing skirts the last week.”

“I AM a woman, Tony. It’s not unheard of.”

Tony waved his hand in front of him, trying to break up the cloud of sugar hanging in the air. “No, no, no, not you, Ziva. MAASAD agents like you don’t wear skirts and pantyhose. No, they wear flak jackets and fatigues. If you’re dressed up like this, something’s changed. And I’m betting it’s a man.”

It was a rare time where Ziva had to admit to herself that Tony’s observational skills belied his clownish exterior. She HAD been more dressed up lately. Hair, makeup, clothes- she strived for a clean personal appearance. She did not usually try to accentuate her figure or be overly feminine. The assassin was genderless, in her mind. She was an agent of justice first and a woman second. That left little room for romance. But Tony didn’t need to know that.
“Absolutely not. Abby wears skirts all the time. Why don’t you question her relationship status, instead of homing in on me like some obsessive little klip?”

(‘Klip’ is Yiddish for ‘Gabby woman’. Thank you online dictionaries!)

Tony wasn’t sure how to react being called a…what had she called him, anyway?

“I’m gonna find out what you just said, David, and when I do, I’ll prove that you’re a bigger…clap!”

Ziva tossed a smile over her shoulder as she strutted to her cubicle, the proud victor. “’Klip’, Tony.”

DiNozzo could only stalk back toward his desk, muttering under his breath. Damn, she painted a nice picture in that skirt. When she wanted to, Ziva could be as alluring a female as Tony had ever met. He took a moment to remember an undercover assignment that had required Ziva to wear this sequined, backless gown. She had looked gorgeous. That nearly caused Tony to blow the mission, as when their target tried to paw her, Tony almost jumped the gun and ruined the whole deal.

YunieXTidus on June 16, 2011, 3:11:52 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLmao I'm glad you and he aren't in the same social circles... I doubt that would go over well.

I do appreciate the concern, really, I do. But he isn't that sort of guy. He'd use someone in -his- hour of need. He wouldn't use someone in -theirs-. I think it's half concern, and half- he just wants me. xD Which is flattering, in and of itself. Really, he's a good guy. He just... sometimes lines blur for him. It's not all his fault- the woman he was involved with, the woman he gave his heart to... She really messed him up. Badly. She messed up his moral compass. She left him an emotional wreck. He's really a great guy. Promise.

YunieXTidus on June 16, 2011, 3:12:15 PM

nextguardianWell, yeah, I do^^

Hey, question: Do you prefer long hair or short hair on guys?

(Sits next to you) Hey, are you still supposed to ask before you push a lady down? Or is that not the case these days?

Sounds like fun ^^ I'm working on that Azami picture. I finally got her butt the right size! (lmao, that would sound weird to anyone who didn't know the origin of this conversation, I'd imagine)

Oh, big question: Was Yuji too far out of character with the drug use in that last chapter?

YunieXTidus on June 15, 2011, 12:37:25 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusX)

It depends, I guess. If its well groomed, long hair is okay.

Mm, I'd have preferred it if you'd done that in the first place.

Ah, no. It worked for him.

nextguardian on June 15, 2011, 12:42:08 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOkay, cool. Just curious ^^ I have short hair, so I don't know why it mattered XD

Well, then...(pushes gently)

Question 2: Did he come across as a 'vindicated bad guy'? Or just partially insane? I was having the worst time with that distinction.

YunieXTidus on June 15, 2011, 12:54:42 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHaha I PREFER short hair, but long hair is okay too. As long as there's enough for me to wrap my fingers around.

No, no, no. If you're going to push me down, you gotta be a little rough. It's all about dominance.

I think it was a perfect balance. He was on the edge of crossing into insanity, but it was rightly so.... if that makes sense.

nextguardian on June 15, 2011, 1:07:45 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAny hair color you prefer?

Oh? Why don't you demonstrate? (Grand gesture)

No, it does. He's not insane yet, but you're not sure how close he is. That's what I want. It's the next chapter that it gets really fun. I hope ^^'

YunieXTidus on June 15, 2011, 1:19:42 PM

YunieXTidusI really like dark brown, but I'm also partial to gingers. xD Why the curiosity?

Don't test me, I'm feeling frisky tonight. (gets up, then sits in your lap, undoing the buttons of your shirt slowly, one at a time)

nextguardianI don't know. I heard that a lot of girls don't like blonde guys. Again, I'm not blonde, so it doesn't matter, lol. Just bored curiousity, I guess.

I won't back down this time! C'mon, work faster! And isn't it customary for the person doing the stripping's shirt to come off first?

The next chapter should more than make up for it. I really love the next chapter. May even be my favorite self-work ever!

YunieXTidus on June 15, 2011, 1:31:03 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI don't discriminate according to hair color, lol. I like blondes, as long as they're not the stereotypical kind. xD I'm just partial to brown and red, I guess.

Challenge accepted. And I'll take my shirt off whenever I damn well please... unless you'd rather take it off for me? (still slowly undoing buttons, exposing your chest inch by inch)

Lol well if it's THAT good, then I'm all the more anxious to read it!

nextguardian on June 15, 2011, 1:36:50 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm almost exactly the same, except I prefer black hair to brown hair. Red is up there, and even a punk-ish sort of pink is ok on the right girl.

Do you know when you'll damn well please? (goofy grin)

It's good to me. You might absolutely hate it, lol. But it's fun.

Okay, I've finished sketching Azami, and have her proportioned right. I'm using her shadow as she stands over Yuji to block his genitals. Except I just realized I drew him too ****ing far away! Damn it! I finally got him to look right, and now he's in the wrong freakin' spot! Gah!

YunieXTidusI went through a phase where I wanted to dye my hair black. But nah. I have gotten red lowlights, though. (like highlights, only dark.) It brings out the natural red in my hair- I'm Celtic. xD

That made me laugh a little. xD

I'll damn well please when you damn well please to make me. (finally gets your shirt unbuttoned, pushing it off your shoulders and drawing her fingernails gently back up your arms)

Nah, I doubt I'll hate it. I rarely hate anything you write. In fact, I don't think I've hated anything you've written. xD That may well be impossible.

Lmao well... you could always enlarge him in MS paint or something... (shrug)

nextguardianThat's pretty cool. My heritage is all over the place, but if asked I just say 'German', though I'm equal parts other things. It's just easier to explain that way.

(okay, getting nervous, but not backing down yet!) Take it off, now! I want to watch! (Demanding enough? XD)

That's kind of you :) That means I'm doing my job, then.

I did, and I think it worked. I need to change Azami's whip. The shadow thing isn't working, so I'm going to give her something more sinister looking. It suits her anyway.

So, do you have any favorite artists? Doesn't matter what their work is. For example, I like Stan Lee, Patrick Spaziante, and Noizi Itou.

YunieXTidus on June 15, 2011, 1:57:44 PM

YunieXTidusI'm part scottish, part english, part cherokee, and probably part of a lot of other things. I'm a mutt. xD

(crosses her arms and sniffs haughtily at you, turning her head to the side, still on your lap) Do it yourself.

Well, it's no stretch of the truth. :)

Ooh, I can't wait to see this when it's finished.

Like drawing-wise? Uh... Van Gogh. xD I dunno?

nextguardianI'm German, Italian, English, and Yugoslavian. I don't look Italian at all, though. Don't talk like one, either with mouth or hands XD

(sigh) Well, if you're going to make me work...
Crap, you win. lol.

Thanks :D I love your work, too. I maintain that you have better attention to detail.

I've just added Yuji's face...put a blindfold on him, because he was that way in the story at the point I'm aiming for, and because I can't draw eyes -_-' I'm not happy with his arms, but I'm going to stop messing with them because I'm just making it worse.
You're going to laugh, but the way I've got this now, with the censor the way it is, it looks like Yuji is rather, ahem...bald. Down 'there'. --' Crap.

I feel less dignified now, lol. I picked comic book artists! You picked a bona fide legend! No fair! ;)

YunieXTidus on June 15, 2011, 2:26:50 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat can be remedied.

Aww, don't quit now! We were making such progress!

Lol well, lots of guys... um... shave... xD No, seriously, though.

And lmao ooooops. What can I say? I can't resist a ginger.

Also, if you're needing tips on how to seduce a woman... Look no further:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FU0QwHqXO0

0:44 - 0:50. That's how it's done. xD

You've got slow, lingering kisses and hot, passionate ones that'll melt your pants off. And David Tennant is the ONLY man I've ever seen who looks sexy while drinking wine.

(drool) Gawjuss. Just gawjuss.

nextguardianWe're getting into dangerous turf there XD

Well, yeah, but for realism's sake, he's been out in the field, fighting a war for a few weeks. Even if he was a regular shaver, I doubt he'd take the time to do that in the middle of combat. I wonder if that sort of hair is against FAC policy, or if I have to make some BS shadow.

lol XD

I'll have to study that. Or let her do the seducing. whatever. I'll go with my gut, all Gibbs-like.
Wait...3 divorces? Okay, maybe not Gibbs-like.

YunieXTidus on June 15, 2011, 2:35:54 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol true enough. But that's the fun part! xD

True enough. I hadn't thought about that.

lol XD

Lol all you need to do is study David Tennant. He is god's gift to women everywhere. The part I pointed out to you- THAT is how you lower a woman onto a bed.


AAAANYWAY, what are you up to?

nextguardianNo argument there. Rest assured, it's not something I would pull in rl!

Well, I worked it out. See below XD

Okay, I'm going to study this guy. lol. I need moves like that!

About to send you a b&w sketch of this pic, actually. To keep with FAC policy, I gave Yuji some pants. lol. Turned out it would have been in the NC-17 category if I'd left him completely nude. It was give him underwear or a stupid unnatural sensor.

I would say it's sweet. Some might say it's a gender role reversal, but I say it's sweet no matter who's doing it.

nextguardian on June 15, 2011, 3:35:18 PM

nextguardianThat's the problem. I want her to seem unconcerned, just sort of taunting him. He's supposed to be vaguely worried, very beaten up, and yet sort of interested. I can't figure out what would cause the correct shadow, so I might adjust a bit so that Azami's arm or whip is covering him up.

I'd imagine the concept is pretty mild, right?

Very true :)

Well, I've got to go for tonight. Good chatting with you! Enjoy the 'Mercenaries' update!

nextguardianSame as usual. Trying to take over the world.

Oh, that wasn't what you asked, was it? Oh well.

I was considering how many people would think I was a pervert if I drew out the scene of Azami seducing Yuji, actually. It sucks that I care enough about my non-existant reputation to not actually do it. lol.
Doesn't hurt that I couldn't if I tried XD

YunieXTidus on June 14, 2011, 1:14:03 PM

Hmm. That's weird even for me. Must be a full moon or something.

I...don't know if it in me to draw a girl in her underwear. Yuji beat up, that's nothing new. But that other one...that's a big one for me.

nextguardian on June 14, 2011, 1:49:53 PM

nextguardianOne of these days. Once I get a decent current pic.

I was thinking of drawing a set of manga pages of the fight, ending with Yuji in a hopeless predicament- stripped naked (shadows for censoring) and cut-up, with the boyshort-clad bottom half of a whip-wielding mistress. Set in a cabin with a thick forest outside the window. Sound interesting?

Comments only work if you hit submit -_-' crap.

Oh, I've updated 'mercenaries' btw!

nextguardianLikewise, actually. Not to mention pestered you about ridiculous questions that a guy my age should have answers to, lmao!

nextguardianNo more so than me for messing up the first time.

I should apologize for that one. that was really crude and not like me at all. It just sort of slipped out...

Almost done with the Azami part of the sketch. I made her butt way too big because i changed the view of the drawing partway through.

YunieXTidus on June 14, 2011, 3:42:57 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol no, I think my mishap correction was worse than yours. xD

No, no, don't apologize! We're making progress on you! What slipped out? ;)

Lol Maybe she has a big butt and your subconscious is putting that out in your drawing? xD Sorry, that was a pathetic crackpot theory.

nextguardian on June 14, 2011, 4:02:22 PM

nextguardianI do it more frequently, though ;D

lol, well, that one was pretty crude.
And the second I typed 'it just slipped out', I was waiting for a 'that's what she said'. lol. You really have corrupted me. Still can't type it without blushing, though.

No, I'd agree, except I don't picture her that way. I've got a couple sketches I'll be emailing you in a minute.

Yeah I really, really, really need to start reading that. Star Trek is one of the things I enjoy watcing after coming back from work.

My life has been alright. Work is not being a total bi*ch so is managable.

YunieXTidus on June 15, 2011, 3:30:39 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI've heard good things.

Yes, you really, really, really do. ;) We've both worked really hard. My pilot is actually shorter than intended, because I also used it as an English 'short story' assignment. Needless to say, I got a 100.

We've also been working on a future episode, that has something to do with the Borg. Both NG and I are really impatient for me to finish my part of ep 2 so we can move on with the story. xD

andr28a on June 15, 2011, 9:29:17 AM

andr28a on
andr28aWell you hear correctly (Aside from myself)

I've gathered that you and NG have been working hard on this. You two want to make this story as good as you can. It would be a shame if I didn't read it actually.

I think the borg have lost most of their teeth in the series. At first it was doom to face them... but as ST progressed they lose thier edge in a way. Voyager was the thing that made the borg a little less menacing then the other seiries

YunieXTidus on June 15, 2011, 10:11:15 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol I'll have to take a look.

Yes, it definitely would! It's really good. xD

Catching up on 'Caprica.' It's a prequel to the show 'Battlestar Galactica.' Ever heard of either?

nextguardian on June 13, 2011, 3:14:53 PM

nextguardianYay! Of course, if it ever happens again, I MAY graduate to polite conversation with them. If that.

YunieXTidus on June 13, 2011, 3:16:50 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD Right.

Lol fair enough. It won't be hard. (smug smirk) Ahh... poor choice of words. ;]

Good stuff indeed! I recommend both, highly, highly! Watching these has reminded me of my deep need to finish collecting the Galactica box sets, and start on Caprica. Man, so good. xD Did I mention it's really good?

nextguardian on June 13, 2011, 3:23:52 PM

YunieXTidusLol wow, great word choice!

;] Wouldn't you like to know? (point to you for the nice deflection)

8-2

You definitely won't be disappointed. But watch Galactica before you watch Caprica. You just won't have the same appreciation for Caprica otherwise. I've gotta warn you, it can be damn depressing at times, and at others quite raunchy. Lots of barely-concealed sex scenes. xDD

nextguardian on June 13, 2011, 3:39:57 PM

nextguardianSo original, right? But it gets a response 90% of the time!

Well, if I'm involved, sure. Naughty thoughts- for shame! lol. I NEVER have those...
...
Yeah, okay. Maybe I should lose a point for that horrid lie?

Well, sounds good to me. Are they 'classy' sex scenes, or more on the trashy side?

YunieXTidus on June 13, 2011, 3:43:53 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol even if that response is an icy glare.

I'll keep that in mind the next time I have naughty thoughts about you, eh? ;]

....Yeah, I'd have to agree, although- anything at this point to lessen the overwhelming score.

7-2

Hmm... I'm leaning toward the 'trashy' side. But they're very well done! xD At least you've got quality.

nextguardian on June 13, 2011, 3:50:04 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIf I get the icy glare, I'll shrug and say "Then freeze, dog!" and push her out of the circle of warmth. Then I'll turn, smile at the other three, and say 'Hey, c'mon, why do good looking girls like you hang out with her? she's way too mean. You, on the other hand, are good people.'

Hey, tell me about them. Maybe you'll earn the 'hard'. XD

If they're well-done, then that's all good. As long as they fit the plot. I don't like sex for the sake of sex in movies for the most part. There needs to be a point to it, you know?

YunieXTidus on June 13, 2011, 3:53:48 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLmao RIGHT, because -you- would say something like that.

Another point to you for making me speechless again. xD

8-2

Lol well it has a point most of the time... but sometimes, they just needed plot filler.

nextguardian on June 13, 2011, 3:57:25 PM

nextguardianYeah, true. I'd probably apologize -_-' lol

YunieXTidus on June 13, 2011, 3:59:26 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusGood night then! Tonight's been fun.

YunieXTidus on June 14, 2011, 4:06:53 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI just had the most perfect idea for a future story, 'calling on Amy having almost been assimilated by the Borg.' True enough, my inspiration came from watching Caprica last night.

This girl, recruited as a soldier for religious zealots, was listening to a weapons briefing with the rest of her soldiers when this kid who came in late got stopped by a sentry, because he forgot to salute. The kid snapped off at the sentry, and the sentry retaliated by telling one of the robots, called U-87's, to "shoot this man."

She saw what happened and ran out there, shouting at the robot to stop before she was apprehended by two other soldiers. The robot pulled his gun back, turning to the girl, saying "Are you in command?" The sentry ordered the robot to resume, and it turned back to the soldier and pointed its gun at him. She again shouted to stop, and the robot again pulled his gun back and asked her if she was in command. An actual authority figure came out to observe the scene and told the robot to resume, and the sentry told it the same thing, but it wouldn't even turn to look at the soldier. It just kept staring at the girl.

Later, the girl is brought to the tent of one of the commanding officers, asking "what the hell happened out there? you know that it's impossible to get a U-87 to stop once a command has been issued unless you're a commanding officer.

"Yes, sir. I don't know what happened. I just told it to stop, and it did."

Later, they perceive that as a threat, and try to have her killed.

So I was thinking that the girl could be Amy, crash-landed on some planet and forced to join some sort of soldier group to survive, and the 'robots' were rogue drones who'd been programmed somehow to obey humans. Once they perceive her as a threat, it's a race against the clock for Julian and the rest of the DS9 team to find her before she's terminated.

What do you think?

How about you?

nextguardianI can't draw women. Or men. The only thing I wind up liking are my designs. The finished product is always underwhelming to me.
In case you were curious (It's mild, and on second glance, not underwear. Just normal clothes):

Nice! Of course, that makes me want to ask you how you're doing on the ST fic ;) lol.

YunieXTidus on June 13, 2011, 11:55:15 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusJust lots of practice. Lol.

Haha I haven't made much progress, but maybe I will tonight! ;) So eager, we are.

nextguardian on June 13, 2011, 11:56:55 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianCould it be that the mere image of a woman makes me tremble? lol.

Incredibly eager. (licks lips) I want more!
(see, see?! I'm getting better at this!)

YunieXTidus on June 13, 2011, 12:01:16 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLmao you're hopeless, you are.

(Bats eyelashes and gives you a coy smile) And what exactly is it that you want more of?

(Yes, you are! I'm proud of you. ;] I think I'm a bad influence on you)

nextguardian on June 13, 2011, 12:08:27 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI know. lol. I haven't hit the depths yet. A buddy of mine went to Vegas, got an escort, and took her on a date. He tells me "I just wanted to take her out and maybe learn something. I didn't want sex."

Oh, you know what I'm talking about. You know I can't resist you when you play at being coy.

(lol, probably. You probably are XD. Then again, this is need-to-know stuff! XD)

YunieXTidus on June 13, 2011, 12:16:26 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIs sex what he got? ;)

(Leans in with a smirk) I'm afraid you'll have to enlighten me, sir.

Wow, I hadn't realized how far you've come!

nextguardian on June 13, 2011, 12:29:39 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, no. She was surprisingly nice, apparently. He did learn alot. He recommended I take the same approach. What do you think? lol, I'm not actually going to do it. I'm just curious about what you think.

(Grins) I brought the handcuffs...

Thanks^^

YunieXTidus on June 13, 2011, 12:34:19 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol I'd be too shy to get an escort, but if that works for you, then by all means. xD

(Eyes widen) ....For me, or for you?

Lol this is monumental!

nextguardian on June 13, 2011, 12:38:55 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI couldn't do it, either. It's a great learning opportunity, but I've got my pride (sort of). If I'm going out with a girl, I want to earn it! (Heroic fist pump)

Lady's choice...

It really is! Must've caught me on a good day or something XD

YunieXTidus on June 13, 2011, 1:09:07 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD True enough.

(Tsk tsk) A man should never be afraid to take the initiative.

You should have good days more often. This is too much fun to deprive me of!

nextguardian on June 13, 2011, 1:18:34 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBesides, those poor girls are probably breeding grounds for disease. (lol, shot for lameness. Then shot again for using a 'shot' joke)

Afraid, no. It's simply a matter of courtesy. Wherever you're happiest...in control or otherwise...

lol, it is kind of fun ^^

YunieXTidus on June 13, 2011, 1:26:30 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD Well, I'm sure it seemed like a good idea at the time to them. (shoots you three times)

Hmm. I think you use your 'courtesy' as a defense mechanism... so you don't have to choose...

xD No kidding.

nextguardian on June 13, 2011, 1:30:32 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI won't question their career choice. Probably more benefits than detriments. Also: ow ow ow.

Mmm. It's both. Being gentlemanly is too ingrained in me for me to act contrary to it.

I need to to this in person. lol. I've taken the first step. The next is live flirting! lol.

YunieXTidus on June 13, 2011, 1:34:03 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, except for, you know, STD's.

I give you full permission to take the initiative. There- your gentlemanly traits are satisfied.

xD One step at a time. You've taken the precursor step- this doesn't REALLY count, 'cause you're not actually interested in me! First step is saying this sort of stuff to a girl you're interested in. THEN comes live flirting.

nextguardian on June 13, 2011, 1:40:25 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOr rapists, I would think.

IUh...you mean right now? Like right now?

True. It's easy when it's someone you've never met in person. If a person's face is in your mind, it's way easier to picture the stuff you're saying.

YunieXTidus on June 13, 2011, 1:43:02 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat's true.

(takes a step closer) Right this second.

Yeah. I always have a harder time saying stuff like this face to face than over text or the internet.

nextguardian on June 13, 2011, 1:50:52 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianno one deserves that.

Uh...yeah. So, um, let me see your wrists...(gulp)

It's too easy to misspeak or misread intentions, I think. Though it's also probably more fun in person.

YunieXTidus on June 13, 2011, 1:52:37 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus(presents them, palms upward, with a mischevious smirk)

Very true. Also very true. xD

nextguardian on June 13, 2011, 2:06:09 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, you win. I don't think I can go farther with this. Which really sucks, because I actually do know what comes next! lol.

Though I rarely find anyone I like. My college is the worst place to meet someone. It's basically a continuation of high school, with cliques and the like. It's like first day in the lunchroom, where do I sit all over again.
(for the record, I solved that by not going to the cafeteria).

YunieXTidus on June 13, 2011, 2:08:47 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD Yes! Point 1 for me!

Ah, jeez. I forgot about the 'cafeteria' thing. -_- There goes my paycheck. Off to Jimmy-John's!

nextguardianI'm doing okay. How about you?

YunieXTidus on June 11, 2011, 1:00:28 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusVery frustrated about my slow internet connection on my phone. I may have to give it up til tomorrow, when I'll be on the road, and away from thus black hole of a cell phone reception spot.

I got an okay start on my novel last night, and I can't wait to get to WiFi range so I can email it to you. Lol I need to think up a title. Any ideas?

nextguardian on June 11, 2011, 1:03:08 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOn the upside, that likely means you're going somewhere with a better internet connection :)

I would say something with 'Tryst' in the title would be good. I don't know why, but it has a good sound to it that way. lol.

Question: How hairy do you like guys to be? (lol, back to this XD)

YunieXTidus on June 11, 2011, 1:10:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol true. I can't wait to put many leagues between me and this deadzone.

Mm, it does, doesn't it? Lol I'll see what I can do.

xD well... I don't really want a gorilla. A dab of chest hair is nice, and that line of hair from the navel... down... is always sexy (when groomed). I dont really care about arm/leg hair as Kong as they aren't wearing a fur coat. I don't mind a thin, groomed beard, or sideburns, or mustache, or goatee etc etc. Anything that meets those criteria or below it on the hairy scale is fine with me. Also, a five-o'clock shadow is deliciously appealing. That slight friction when you're cheek to cheek... or anything to cheek, really. xD

nextguardian on June 11, 2011, 1:17:11 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, I hear you. It would drive me nuts, too.

That just makes it sounds forbidden and juicy right off the bat.

This is one area where no two girls agree, apparently. Facial hair especially. See, I do the five o'clock shadow thing all Kyle Reese style during the hockey season so that I look older when I officiate. I'm not sure whether or not it's a good thing for me. Some girls drool all over the younger looking man, which I'm told is me to a T. I do look young, so I'm not sure whether I want to try to look older, or if I want to keep the rockin' the baby face thing.

YunieXTidus on June 11, 2011, 1:22:16 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol it certainly does that. I'll have to come up with something good.

I've heard that, too. I, personally prefer the older looking man, simply because it speaks of experience. Even if there is no experience to speak of. ;)

Questions, please!

nextguardian on June 11, 2011, 1:24:39 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm sure you will :)

Hmm...okay.

Is a guy in a trench coat automatically creepy? (ditto with wearing black)
What sort of footwear is good?
Are sunglasses an instant turn-off?
Is wearing a semi-dress shirt with, say, jeans, stupid?

Likewise, questions!

YunieXTidus on June 11, 2011, 1:31:11 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusTrenchcoats are for detectives and pervs, as a postcard I saw once said. Definitely turn-off material. Wearing black, not necessarily, but I'd need a more specific example. Sunglasses-depends on the brand. Oakleys are hot. Aviators, also good.

Wearing a semidress shirt with jeans is perfectly acceptable. It happens all the time. Personally I have a preference for button-up shirts. They're so much fun to undo! ;D

Lol I can't think of anything right now. I'll get back to you.

nextguardian on June 11, 2011, 1:40:41 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianDamn, too bad. See, for some reason, jackets/coats are my thing. WWII Bomber jacket, Black Leather Jacket, three-buckle trench coat, long rain coat, 80's jean jacket. Trenchoats seem to give me confidence. Probably because every hero/villian I've ever liked has worn one, lol. From Kyle Reese to Albert Wesker.
So I need to become a detective...lol.

Black- again, my thing. Or white. Two most comfortable colors, and they all go with something, so I don't have to think for too long about what I'm going to wear. Oh, and gray jeans, because no one wears those.

Okay, what about short sleeve button-up shirts? I always think I look like an idiot in them.

Okay :) C'mon, think up something juicy!
Oh, I know. Here's a good myth that I can destroy:
Guys DO know makeup. More than we'd like to know. BUt we play dumb because (a) it's a 'girl thing, and (b) we really don't want you to ask us your opinion. If we're wrong, we'll suffer for it, see? So we'll smile and nod, and maybe make sly comments, rather than be all "wow, that eyeliner is sooooo wrong for that lipstick!"

YunieXTidus on June 11, 2011, 1:52:26 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusJackets and coats are fine. Raincoats and trenchcoats are not. Try a peacoat. I love them.

Lol either that or risk being labeled a perv. xD


I have three pairs of grey jeans! :o


Only if they're longsleeved, with the sleeves rolled up. That's hot. Like, really hot.

Lol I'll have to keep that in mind. Although, I'm kind of a bare minimum when it comes to makeup. A bit of concealer, some foundation, maybe a touch of eyeshadow if I'm going out somewhere, like, the mall or a restaurant. Very rarely do I ever wear blush, mostly because my cheeks are pink enough on their own. xD same with lipstick. Although, honestly I just hate wearing lipstick, period. Your hair sticks to it, it leaves prints on your cups... it rubs off easily... it stains (well, it can) your teeth. Just too much effort.

Hmm.... when you and your girl are ready to get natural. How do you see this day, then evening unfolding?

nextguardian on June 11, 2011, 2:00:02 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianA what? (looks up peacoat). Ah, I see. (nods all Data-ish). If I go that far, I'm almost more inclined to put on a suit. Slick corporate look, maybe?

Damn, too bad. Plus the cold here, it's actually practical. lol. Oh well. I'll reserve that for goth moods.

Really? I'm not a big jeans person, but I have one pair black, one pair standard blue, and one gray. Gray is coolest.

Really? How did that get hot? Huh. Oh well. Whatever works. I don't think that look is for me, though.

I hate it when a girl tries too hard with make-up. Like I said, I'm a sucker for the dark eyed think, maybe black or silver/gray.

I see it happening randomnly anytime seven dates. Starting slow, with maybe one simple thing going really, really right. So we both get all cozy and affectionate. We wind up at her place, completely ignore both alcohol and coffee, and then she sort of seduces me. I go with it, and there were are.
For some reason, I picture it being winter. Maybe being all huddled together in front of a fire.
Conversely, I'd also love for it to happen in, say, a secluded cabin. The whole 'us against nature' this is appealing.
How about you?

YunieXTidus on June 11, 2011, 2:08:30 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, peacoats are great for fall and winter weather. I myself have a black and grey one. They also go well with pretty much anything, and are an easy way to dress up almost any outfit.

I have a pale complexion, so anything darker than a dark brown looks trashy on me. Lol.

Hmm.... I guess how comfortable I am with him right away will determine the date number. But I can see like, a nice evening at a jazz club, or a cozy restaurant, coming home (his place) and popping in a romantic movie, maybe. Then some light seduction on both sides, maybe some necking to get us in the mood... then, ta da.

What's a huge turn on for you (aside from anything previously discussed)?

nextguardian on June 11, 2011, 2:20:02 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBased on my personality, it's probably not a huge stretch to picture me as some uptight businessman XD

I'm pale to the point of looking goth (I'm not, really), but for some reason black works for me. I think. Might be my imagination XD

I admit, I'm uptight about that sort of thing. With AIDS and crap going on, I want to really know the girl before we get busy. If there was a way to make an ID check and a blood test sexy...
(Starting to see why I'm single? lmao!)

Let's see...Japanese school girl look. Thigh-high stockings/socks that are either black or striped. Maybe sort of a goth/lolita look? Leather on the right girl. Ditto with black tank tops. Oh, exposed belly buttons! That's a rare thing in my mind in that it can be simulataneously 'hot' and 'cute'.
Uh, an Abby-ish look is always good. I'm not a big fan of high heels (I mean the ridiculously tall things; some heel is okay). Tattoos and some piercings on the right girl.
Same question to you!

YunieXTidus on June 11, 2011, 2:34:09 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusBlack clothes look good on everyone. I was referring to eyeshadow. XD


I understand. Although, what if the girl was as inexperienced as you?


XD naw, I find your little quirks endearing.

Lol well, I'll have to three on the schoolgirl thing. I own a navy-blue pleated skirt and a white button up shirt. I've also looked into getting some knee high white socks and some Mary janes (shoes), as well as a rosary...

As for me, I am a HUUUUUGE sucker for nerds. Intelligence is a huge turn-on for me, and the awkwardness is adorable. Let's see... I can't think of much that I haven't already told you. Oh! Horn-rimmed glasses.(in the nerd classification). My friend has a pair of actual prescription horn rimmed glasses. Every time I see him, my heart does palpitations.


I love me a foreigner. Hispanic, French, Australian, Russian, BRITISH... It takes all kinds. Lol.

Ask me another!

nextguardian on June 11, 2011, 2:46:25 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, pfft. This is me looking like an @$$. I totally misread that. Wow.

Well then, it would be a learning experience. At least I'd be sure she didn't have AIDS! Although I think I would prefer her to have a little experience. Just enough to be able to coach me through the mechanics. (lmao, I'm dead serious, though that sounds downright pathetic)
I admit, one of my worst fears is having a girl cry rape. That's one reason I don't date much. I just can't bring myself to trust anyone. I don't want my life ruined at a young age for something I didn't do.

Well, thank you XD That gives me some hope!

I loved all of that up to the rosary. I have a hard time associating sex with crosses. That's what private schools do to you, though. lol. No wonder I'm uptight.

I agree that glasses look good on the right person.
Oh, I also really like those girls that are like big sisters to everyone. Usually they're waitresses, and they're always so sweet. The kind of girl that you just know picks up every animal she sees and doesn't have a mean bone in her body.

I'm good with exotic looks, too. The girl I keep mentioning was a mix of Japanese and Italian. I always thought Egyptian women were pretty, for some reason. Ziva is gorgeous, too.

Let's see...okay, got one. How do you react to a shy guy? The guy on the beach who doesn't take his shirt off, but clearly isn't homely? The guy by himself at a restraunt or bar, practically hiding in the corner, but he's practically got 'lonely' in a digital mantra running across his forehead.
Ignore? Good-natured teasing? Full-on teasing?

YunieXTidus on June 12, 2011, 12:28:48 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol well, it happens sometimes. I've done that my share of times, too. xD

Just so you know, you can't 'catch' AIDS. You catch HIV, which gives you AIDS. In case you were unclear on that. If you were clear, just tell me to shut the hell up. xD

One should never live without hope!

xD I heard all the naughty girls went to private schools. They're so pent up from pretending to be a 'good girl' that sooner or later, they snap. Although maybe I read too many bad books. xDD

My brother is the male version of that. xD He's the sweetest guy you'll ever meet in your life.

Yes, Ziva is absolutely gorgeous. I love how she can kick Tony's @$$.

Lol are you trying to instill some hope for yourself? Well, depending on the situation, and how old said 'lonely guy' was, I'd probably good-naturedly tease him. Who knows, maybe I'd even give him my number!

Also, sorry for not responding last night. My phone died before you could respond. xD I ACTUALLY didn't fall asleep this time! -_-

Anyway, how are you tonight?

nextguardian on June 12, 2011, 2:51:01 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI find it funny that I can completely blank out on what you're saying when I'm honestly trying to keep our conversation vital and interesting, lol.

No, I'm aware. It's just not HIV I'm afraid of. Well, it is, but AIDS terrifies me more, so that's what I put down. Though I suppose it's almost six of one, half dozen of another when you get down to it. Either way, don't want it.

Mmm, you know, that's true. We had a couple of them back in private school. Thing was, I didn't like any of them. We probably all had a bit of an attitude, thinking we were all hot stuff for being in a private school. But hell, I was a loner, even back then. I told my teachers that 'I don't want to fit in; I just want to be left alone'. Real nice attitude for a world-weary, jaded twelve year old. lol.

I think that's what I find most attractive. If you haven't noticed, I tend to like the powerful types. lol. But it's not like I'm lusting after their power.
Hmm. That's an odd turn-on to have, isn't it?

Not so much hope as curiousity on my part. I've got the mentality of 'they're laughing at you, not with you', so I'd mistake the teasing most likely. I've gotta rewire my brain or something.

lol, that's alright. I was pretty much out of it at that point.

I'm not too bad, thank you. How about you? sorry I'm so late. My dog would not go to sleep, and if I left her she emitted this awful squeal...ye gads, made me wanna rip my ears off.

YunieXTidus on June 12, 2011, 2:58:32 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAh, okay. Just making sure. xD

Lol I was much the same way, but only because I didn't fit in in the first place, and the kids seemed determined to keep it that way. So instead of playing hop-skotch or jump rope or basketball or whatever, I sat on a bench and read. xD I constantly had my nose in a book.

Nah, totally normal. xD Don't get too worried there.

Well, even if they are laughing at you, feel free to laugh at yourself. I've got huge respect for a guy who can brush off teasing and not take himself too seriously. Besides, it would leave your (mean-spirited) teasers speechless. They have no power if they don't affect you! xD I sound like a counselor.

I'm pretty good; soaking up as much fast innernets as I can. I love solid WiFi connection. n_n

Did you get around to downloading/reading that 'Jane Porter' book I linked you?

nextguardian on June 12, 2011, 3:06:37 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, sure. I usually don't even think about the HIV part of it. I just jump to the most certainly gonna kill you stuff.

Same here. I wound up with a good vocabulary, which humbled bullies very nicely.

Normal isn't a word usually used to describe me. XD

Some days I can brush it off. Other days, I just wonder why the human race was invented. lol. Kinda sad, but it just bugs that people want to give you crap just because you choose to be alone.

Nice! Gotta love modern convenience!

Not yet. I've got every intention of it, though!

YunieXTidus on June 12, 2011, 3:11:40 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol I understand.

I wound up with a good vocabulary, but I was so sensitive it didn't matter; I just started crying. xD

Lol me, either, but it'll do.

Yeah, the human race as a whole can be pretty brutal sometimes.

Yes, I love it!

I can't wait to hear your reaction. xD It's pretty juicy.

I may have to call it quits for tonight soon. My eyelids are becoming traced with lead. lol.

Whatcha up to this evening? Well, dead of night, but... semantics.

nextguardian on June 12, 2011, 3:16:12 PM

nextguardianIt took a lot to really get to me. It had a sort of cumulative effect before I really got bothered.

I'm looking forward to reading it, big time!

That's okay. I'm pretty tired myself.

Not too much. Finishing up 'Mercenaries'. SOme editing work left. Might add a little bit more, too.

YunieXTidus on June 12, 2011, 3:19:33 PM

YunieXTidus on June 10, 2011, 3:17:57 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol concerning Jadzia no doubt. ;) I can't blame you. She certainly is a beauty. Even Julian fell prey to her feminine wiles.

XD it's fine. I'm drawing a blank myself.

Up to anything exciting?

nextguardian on June 10, 2011, 3:20:35 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh yeah! That would be a blast! Although I usually think (mostly) wholesome thoughts about her. She's not like Azami, who invites BDSM fantasies.
And is a certain doctor in your fantasy world. ;) He's cool.

I could think up how to make an ST episode out of it, lol. But something conventional? Perish the thought! XD

Just working on the ending of 'Mercenaries'. How about you?

YunieXTidus on June 10, 2011, 3:28:14 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusXD a doctor? Why, whatever could you mean? (Innocent look)

Lol it happens to the best of us. Nerds that we are.

Not much, just trying some openings out, rejecting them, trying new ones. I have it set as Long Henry's birthday, and Amelia meets his acquaintance when the nobleman (her father) arrives at court for the party.

YunieXTidus on

Yes, I'm making a bit of headway now.

What are you up to?

nextguardianNot much worse, I don't think. But to each his or her own!

Good! :)

Not much. I just got to the BDSM part of Mercenaries. I'm just brainstorming tonight. I'll write it later. I got to write my big fight scene, and I'm happy with it for the most part. How about you?

YunieXTidus on June 10, 2011, 3:58:21 PM

nextguardianIt's ridiculous. Everything is cause for a lawsuit. I say, if they break in, I can do anything to incapacitate them, short of killing. If they have a gun on my family, then I'll do what I have to.

Why can't Texas be more like here! Man, it sucks!

Well, I've had plenty of time to think about it XD

Not take the guy seriously. No guy wants to be played with, like she's showing off for her friends. Being sweet and dating a shy guy to be nice is one thing; being malicious and playing a joke is another.

I like girls to be in good shape. I'm not saying model-ish or anything; frankly, I think I prefer 'cute' to outright 'hot'. But basically any girl in good shape who takes care of her appearance is good. Overdone makeup is a turn off. False eyelashes, big time turn off. To me, the girl just being who she is is best. It comes down to this: If I take the time to get to know someone, I want to really know them. I don't want to meet a front personality. I'm not out to date Sybil. If you're Lizzie Borden, tell me on the first date. Open, honest, playful, and in control of her world. I like that.

What about you? what instantly attracts you? Ditto with personalities. And your ideal first date? Now I'm curious :D

YunieXTidus on June 9, 2011, 3:56:37 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol I've seen that movie!

Well, I'm attracted to a guy who doesn't take himself too seriously- I love to tease. On the other hand, I like having meaningful discussions, about religion, politics, whatever.

Physically, I usually lean toward taller, well-built guys, but I'm not set on that. It makes me feel all girly and protected. Although he -does- have to be taller than me by at least 3 inches. I like to look up into his eyes. A great smile and nice eyes are also good.

My perfect first date? Jeez... honestly, it would depend on his personality type and how we relate to one another. But just a day where we're both enjoying ourselves and each other, really. I'm not very picky.

Lol a skill I think is hot, but definitely not a dealbreaker... beatboxing. If the guy can beatbox well, its like a dream come true.

But for little things... there are lots of stupid little things that I won't compromise on. Like, he has to at least tolerate the kind of music I like. Same for tv shows. I don't object to changing it to something we both like, but I don't want him criticizing my favorite band or tv show. Lol that sounds so shallow, but I don't want to live long-term like that, you know?

That's all I can think of atm.

xD I'm itching to write my 18th century story already!!!! Grr for my computer being in the room where my dad is sleeping. There aren't any grounded plugs in the room I'm sleeping in, so I have to leave it out where my dad sleeps.

nextguardian on June 9, 2011, 4:06:40 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, I've seen a few, too :)

That's awesome! Most guys will respond positively to that sort of thing. As long as you can take it as well as dish it out with the teasing.

Ah, here's where we differ. I don't mind if the girl is taller than me. I'm average height for a guy, so it's not likely.

Do you prefer a first date to be all about romance, or should it be more relaxed. Or, rather, do you want to plan every detail, or is it a 'let's meet here and see what happens' thing?

Okay, here's a good one: What if the guy is an anime/manga fan? Is that a turn off? Or maybe even a comic collector. They seem to get a bad rap. i'm curious because i sort of fall into that category.

No, no, that's good. Tolerance is the foundation of any relationship imho. I'd love it if my girl had the same political views and whatnot as me, but if not, that's cool. Just quit crapping on George Bush already!

Whne I was out of town, I didn't bring my laptop, so I couldn't write at all. I was mortified at first, lol. But I wound up studying Japanese for 2-3 hours every night and got a lot better at it.

YunieXTidus on June 9, 2011, 4:15:04 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh, I'm pretty good natured about teasing. Lol.

Well, I'd love a mesh of the two, really. xD like, "let's do this and see what happens, then go somewhere quieter (like a walk trough the park or a movie, maybe) and see what happens, too." Lol I'm not even sure.

No, that isn't bad. Lol I'm one too. I know girls who sneer at anime/manga, but I know a surprising amount of girls who are into it and are dying for someone to discuss it with. I'd love it, cause I really get Into my anime and manga when I get into it. Lol.

nextguardian on June 9, 2011, 4:25:38 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianFor me, the worst is teasing about something one day, then the next it's a reason to fight.

I like solitude on a date. I'm super self-conscious. It's just easier if it's like we're the only two people in the world at that point. No distractions (though I'm sure that could bite me on the butt when conversation dies out).

I always tended to think of manga as a guy thing. Probably because there is never a manga where a girl stays clothed the whole time, lol. Even the most tame manga has at least a panty flash in it. Then again, I always figured on girls being up-tight and proper when I was younger, thanks to the private school I went to. I had no idea girls could be rebellious. Maybe that's why I drool all over them when they are. lol.
Hey, is the 'rebel guy' thing still the big thing? Someone told me that I was two decades too late with my 80's loner thing. lmao.

YunieXTidus on June 9, 2011, 4:30:51 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat's a nice thought. I don't really mind if we're in a noisy place, say, an amusement lark, because it's easy to tune the extra stuff out and just focus on him.

Lol every girl loves a bad-boy. Personally, I'm a sucker for motorcycles. It's the perfect mode of transportation- it practically forces body contact!

nextguardian on June 9, 2011, 4:40:04 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOn the one hand, the distraction is good. Conversation fodder. But I always feel like an idiot when I do anything with other people around. Especially if I don't know the girl well enough yet, I don't want to be worried about looking stupid in front of anyone else but her XD

That's a good idea! I'd imagine horses are up there, too. I haven't worked my way up to understanding that girls are things you can touch, so bear with me. lmao, I'm lame in a charming way.

YunieXTidus on June 9, 2011, 4:44:46 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOoh, yes. Horses! I do love me a cowboy. The western bad-boy, with that country twang to die for, and a wicked smile that majesty your knees weak. Although of course, he has to be literate, to go with the twang. xD


Yes, it is kind of charming. XD

nextguardian on June 9, 2011, 4:48:38 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI don't mind so much how a girl sounds, as long as I can understand. Swearing constantly is a turn off. But I love it when a girl will comment about her own body/clothes, or even mine. It's funny to hear 'Damnit, these panties are riding up', or for her to look over casually and go 'boxers or briefs today?'.

If you're into 'lame', it is. lol.

YunieXTidus on June 9, 2011, 4:55:53 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol I don't mind either, but I freely admit I have a colossal weakness for British accents and a slight, but noticeable country twang.

I'm also susceptible to Shakespearean prose, as I call it... aka 18th century English speak.

Lmao I've been known to do both. How would you respond to her comment about her underwear?

God I'm dying, not being able to start on this story!!!

nextguardian on June 9, 2011, 5:02:30 PM

nextguardianI like a slightly deeper voice. I'm not a fan of minnie mouse voices.

Ah, 'tis romantic to be certain, m'lady. Ist this what thoust prefereth?

Good question. Knowing me, with a blush and an honest reply. lol.

I know what you mean.

YunieXTidus on June 9, 2011, 5:09:32 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI have a soprano-alto voice. Kind of in the middle. xD

'Tis indeed, your lordship. It doth speak of courtesies and manners long forgotten, and brings a quickening to mine pulse.

xD I freely admit that my heart gave a little stutter when I read that.

Lol. Another thing- I like there to be balance. On the one hand, I don't want to be calling all the shots 100% of the time. On the other, I don't want to be tagging along in his shadow all the time, either

nextguardian on June 9, 2011, 5:11:27 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAs long as it isn't high, you're good. lol.

I'm not so good with it, sadly. I'm not quite as well read as, say, Beast from X-men. (Though I DO read more than manga and comics. I love history!)

I'd prefer the girl to call the shots, at least early on. Less chance of me making a mistake. Once I know her better, then a balance is good.

YunieXTidus on June 9, 2011, 5:19:15 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol nope, not high.

xD Shakespearean prose is my second language. I've had one long conversation, all day, with a friend in shakespearean prose. Needless to say, I also had a thing for him. xD

I love history, too. Although I get increasingly bored the closer we get to our time. I prefer learning about ancient civilizations, or the renaissance in England and France. Beowulf is a cool piece of literature with a lot of history attached to it.

Yeah. I think I'd enjoy that challenge, taking the lead when a guy's too shy. It's not something I do easily, but I don't mind it.

nextguardian on June 9, 2011, 5:28:40 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt's amazing that you could do that imho.

I used to study hieroglyphics. I could even read and write them for a while. But that was when I was younger. I was fascinated with Egypt. Dinosaurs, too. I was going to be a palentologist for a quite a few years.

I think if you like someone enough, you can probably adapt to just about anything with some effort. I'd like to think I could. But I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with taking the lead later on. Especially when it's time to get physical. Cause them I'm like 'wow, can I really do that?!' lol.

YunieXTidus on June 9, 2011, 5:33:09 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol well, I've read Shakespeare. A lot. Like, a lot, a lot.

Lol I don't blame you. Although I'm sure after things had been physical for a while, you'd feel comfortable enough to at least initiate it. xD. It's just something that comes with time, and experience.

nextguardian on June 9, 2011, 5:35:50 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI was never much of a play person. But I loved mythology, and if you read the traditional translations, the wording is similar. I loved the Odyssey, though.

I don't know. Maybe I'd be like a kid in a candy store after the first taste, but I'm paranoid about being disrespectul. That's the hardest part is to know what to do when.

YunieXTidus on June 9, 2011, 5:41:09 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusGosh, I love plays! A Midsummer Night's Dream is my fave of ol' Shakey.

Lol I understand your sentiment. But once the initial awkwardness fades, and you both get used to being allowed to touch one another, I think loud be surprised. Lol when you say things like this, I can't help but think we'd be a good pair. I know what to do (basically), I just haven't got much practice. You gave no idea whatsoever, and need thorough firsthand education. xD

nextguardian on June 9, 2011, 5:44:39 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI can take or leave some of them. But I'm not opposed to them or anything.

Oh, I get it. That practically invites a hands-on anatomy lesson. (nods sagely) Good plan! I'll remember that one, lol!

Well, I'm going to go for the night. I've got a Japanese lesson tomorrow, so I want to be semi-coherent. It was fun chatting with you, as always! I learned a lot. I hope I was likewise some help.
TTYL!

They're interesting. Definitely among the odder characters I've thought up. But they're really fun.

Hey, thank you! I'll have to take a look. I'd really like the chapters to be good and memorable :) I think I've worked out how it'll happen.

YunieXTidus on June 9, 2011, 12:56:32 PM

YunieXTidusNope, just chillin. I finally finished that star trek book I told you about, and then I had to go find part 2 and 3. Hastings in town had 3 but not 2, so I had to buy it online. It's now waiting for me on my kindle. I love modern technology. =3

I can't wait!

Seriously though. If what I wrote made you blush furiously, this may put you into cardiac arrest. It's definitely worth the read though, if just for the smut. XD

nextguardian on June 9, 2011, 1:06:52 PM

nextguardianI had that same issue with Star Trek Voyager: String Theory. It drove me nuts because I didn't have my Ereader when I started it! Technology rocks!

I'm going to have to attempt to draw these two. I don't want to say more, but they're both based on girls from another series I've read and loved.

lol, well, I could do with a good read. I'm really working blind on this, aside from other people's fics and the odd, usually low-budget torture scene vid. Problem is, torture is torture and BDSM is BDSM. Not totally compatible.

YunieXTidus on June 9, 2011, 1:31:01 PM

nextguardianSorry --' I really do feel bad, but I hate it when people spoil a plot for me, so I do my best not to do it to others.

That's good. I'll need it. I'm working on yet another plot turn, which I'm loving. I'm just not sure it will be as well received by you and Andr28a. It's very un-Yuji-ish. lol.

So, anything going on tonight?

YunieXTidus on June 9, 2011, 1:40:55 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol I'm teasing. It's good to have to wait for something. Anticipation is half the fun!

Well, hey, just remember that we love you and your abuse of Yuji regardless of what you do to him. xD

Hmm, wouldn't you like to know?

nextguardian on June 9, 2011, 1:44:17 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI agree :)

Maybe so, but this is different. Something I'd never even considered for Yuji before. Given how I treat him, you know it's really rotten. lol.

Oh, I see. Turnabout is fair play, is it? XD

YunieXTidus on June 9, 2011, 1:51:49 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYes, you horrible man. Treating Yuji so badly.

Lol I was actually flirting, but I heard it make a whooshing sound as it went right over your head. ;)

So, first I want you to Wikipedia 'the Tudors.' Then I want to tell you an idea that has been bouncing around in my head for the past 5 minutes, ever since I finished my 18th century romance novel.

nextguardian on June 9, 2011, 1:59:02 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBut where would we be if I was nice to him? He'd have everything, and there'd be nothing left to write about!

See, this is why I'm the guy who goes home alone. Stupidity like that, lol. Although I figured it was revenge for not telling you about Yuji's latest love interest(s). D'oh. Um...
So, guess what I'm wearing right now? No, crap, that only works when the girl says it...

Wikipediaing now. What's on your mind?

YunieXTidus on June 9, 2011, 2:06:55 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol fair enough. Although it would be an interesting one-shot. "Lucky Stars," or something? xD

Oh, no, it works for women, too. At least, it piques my interest. Sooo. What ARE you wearing? ;)

Well, I was thinking... what if Amelia Collins was the daughter of a rich nobleman visiting in king Henry's court? What if she caught his eye, during his streak of 'abstinence' while his current wife Ann Boylen (sp.) was with child? What if he actually falls in love with her? Can an untried maiden tame the heart of a selfish tyrant?

nextguardian on June 9, 2011, 2:12:15 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHey, that might work. Of course, I'll have to ruin it by making it a dream or something XD

Just a pair of shorts. I was just lifting weights, so my muscles are bulging and I'm still wet from my shower. I'm also not wearing any underwear 00' (I KNOW that one only works for girls XD)

Two words and a contraction:
I'd read it.

Seriously. Write it, write it, write it!

YunieXTidus on June 9, 2011, 2:18:03 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol I think you've done that one.

Lol your shyness is so adorable. And actually, no, that also works on girls. We just like to okay hard to get. Well, I've got a t-shirt and underwear on, as well as my bedsheet.

XD was any of that true?

Lmao I think I shall!

nextguardian on June 9, 2011, 2:24:00 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh yeah. Hmm. I've also had it be a genjutsu. I'll have to think really hard about how I can ruin him...XD

Okay, don't tell me, I'll get this. Uh...what kind of underwear? Did I get it right? lol.

lol, actually, all of it. Except for the shower part. And I'm technically not done with my workout. But everything else was.

Please do!
Hmm..you know, I bet you could have that be a holodeck program of Amy's, too.

Okay, I had a scene written for Yuji. Be honest: Is it 'cute' if a guy has a hell of a tying undoing a bra? (obviously, he's not wearing it, before you ask me that. lol)

YunieXTidus on June 9, 2011, 2:32:52 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus(Applause from the peanut gallery) Good job! Do you actually want me to tell you, or is that too much for you? ;))

Hmm, I suppose I could make references to it. That's not a bad idea.

Lol I personally think it's the cutest thing ever. If you're in a frenzy trying to rip each others clothes off, it could be a bit of a moodkiller. But since it's Yuji... he's so adorable, she'd just add another point under his 'so shy it's cute' factor. I've got to see this.

nextguardian on June 9, 2011, 2:36:12 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWhat the hell. I've gotten this far. Go ahead; I'm curious XD

I think it would be a cool touch to her personality, really. And later on, maybe a certain doctor could join her...

I admit that I dread that happening to me at some point. lmao. But it suits Yuji (and me, sadly). You'll be seeing it in the future, lol.

YunieXTidus on June 9, 2011, 2:42:12 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusSilver and white polka dot, low-rise bikini cut, with grey lace around the top. I had a matching bra today, but...

It would. Hmm, I think he may get jealous of her little tryst with king Henry. Although it would be interesting to see Julian's reaction to seeing her all dolled up forth 18th century court of England.

Hey, don't stress too much. It really is cute. Although you could always borrow a bra somehow and practice. Like, have it on one of those clothes mannequins from Walmart or something? Just practice different kinda of bras until you have the hang of it. xD

nextguardian on June 9, 2011, 2:45:36 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOoh, hot! Wish I was there to see it. XD

Sounds like a good storyline to me. I could see him reprogramming it so he's on the business end of the tryst, lol. Super genius that he is, I'm sure it would occur to him. :D

I'm not sure which would be more pathetic. Praciticing or not being able to do it in the head of the moment. lmao.

YunieXTidus on June 9, 2011, 2:52:29 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusJust to see? How dull. (Unsatisfied sigh)

Lol I don't think Julian could play off being a two-timing tyrant (forgive the unintentional alliteration(sp?) ) very well. He's too good-hearted for that. xD

Lmao that's a good question. It really isn't as hard as it looks. You use your thumb and index finger to grab the part of the clasp on the top and pull it up and to the left while you pull the bottom part down and to the right.

It sounds simple enough...(taking notes). But in the throes of passion, I'd imagine it's more difficult. And I maintain that there is no way in hell to get that thing off a girl one-handed!

YunieXTidus on June 9, 2011, 3:09:18 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol apparently so!

xD I've wanted a holodeck for years.

Lol okay...

what's an attractive personality trait in a girl?

What's something aesthetic that immediately catches your eye?

What's something that a girl can do, (ex: beatboxing, kung fu, play the drums) that you think is hot, but not a necessity?

nextguardian on June 9, 2011, 3:15:33 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWhere I live is the worst. You can't even say 'hey, you like nice' to a girl without it being sexual harassment.

Me, too! the fun I could have with that thing...

Oh, good questions!
Independence. A 'Daddy's girl' is generally a turn off for most guys.

I don't know if this counts, but I love that sort of darker eye shadow, I think it is. That Smokey-eyed look. For some reason, it's adds mystery to a girl, which is totally hot.

Martial arts, definitely. It's a built-in mechanism to stay in shape, it's easy to get someone else in to (a good joint activity), and for me personally, I just find it attractive to know that a girl can defend herself. I see it as a part of being independent, which is hot in and of itself. I was never a fan of the 'rescue the princess' story; I liked it better when the girl kicks the dragon's @$$ while the guy beats the evil king.

YunieXTidus on June 9, 2011, 3:20:55 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol yikes. I live in Texas, so that sort of this is considered common courtesy. Texans are polite!

What's a turnoff for you (other than the 'daddy's girl')?

What's your ideal first date?

How do you know if a guy's interested, or just friendly?

Not too bad, thank you ^^

Quick question: Let's say Yuji were to meet someone besides Azami, Sakura, or any other regulars. How do you picture his ideal match?

YunieXTidus on June 9, 2011, 5:05:12 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThanks. ^^

xD Now THERE'S the multi-million dollar question. That's really hard to answer.

Maybe a blend of Sakura and Azami? Someone he feels comfortable around, obviously, or he'd get absolutely nowhere. She'd obviously have to be fine with wearing the pants in the relationship, calling the shots, or again... they'd get nowhere. Aside from that, I'm not sure. I'd love to see the one girl Yuji doesn't cower in fear from. xD

nextguardianTrue. And that really fits a guy like Yuji, actually. With his trust issues, if he found one person he trusted, he'd probably...yes. Sounds about right for him. Hopefully it'll work out nice and not just plain smutty. Your definition really helped, actually!

Oh, really? Sorry I was logged off before you replied. Everything okay?

YunieXTidus on June 8, 2011, 6:14:59 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusGlad I could help! ^^

Well, I'm better now that I've had time to sleep on it, but yeah... I'd been 'talking' to my guy friend, the same one I've mentioned several times in a negative light. Lol. Well, at first he just wanted to patch things up with me, as I was his last remaining opportunity from his past to make things right. But as it always is with him, he and I can never be 'just friends.' Things started taking a romantic turn. It's ironic actually. He's in a BDSM community. But yeah. I was struggling to fit us together, because I wanted so desperately for it to work. But over the past month I've been realizing more and more that trying to fit him and me together is trying to force two puzzle pieces together that were never meant to fit. Especially now that he's changed, and now that I have.

But my main thing last night was that on Friday night, I tried to talk to him for a bit, but he brushed me off to go hang out with some friends, saying "we'll talk later." The next morning, I texted him saying "I love you." And I haven't gotten a single text from him since then, in response to mine or otherwise. This really was the final of many straws that led me to make up my mind that he and I can really never work out. I'm looking for someone who enjoys giving and receiving affection, as well as a guy who isn't afraid to tell me how he feels more than once a year. He's not even willing to commit to a relationship, much less a monogamous one. I can't be with someone like that.

nextguardian on June 8, 2011, 6:22:42 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNow I just need to apply your advice correctly. But because he's finally getting the girl, I'm going to have to make her really, really mean. lol.

Yeow. Well, in a backhand way, this may be a healthy thing, I guess. God, I don't even have any good advice or input. Except for maybe the fact that most guys have no idea how to react to 'I love you'. Not knowing the guy, I couldn't say much, but I'd imagine that's part of the hold up.

Either way, though, chin up and wade through it, I guess. It will get better. That much I am certain of. It's only a matter of time before someone worthy of you notices your charms in a big way :)

Oh, here. I feel stupid (and even a bit rotten) brining this up now, but you asked me to let you know when I posted that Shana fic. I got that up, plus one other older fic. That one is about Ikki Tousen. No rush to read them; you've got a lot on your mind. Just wanted to follow through and let you know when I posted Shana, as requested :)

nextguardianOh, also don't know if you're a Negima fan, but if you're at least into romantic comedy, then you might find these chapters amusing. They're pretty light and fun, and they might even give you a chuckle.

YunieXTidusI appreciate that. I know, someday.... it just kinda cuts deep because he and I have so much history, and its hard to give that up.

Lol don't feel rotten! Or stupid, for that matter. I'm feeling better about it today. And I was actually reading the Haruhi/Shana when you sent that!

Ikki Tousen... why is that familiar?

Ah, I haven't read Negima yet, but it looks fun. I'll take a look.

nextguardian on June 8, 2011, 6:36:43 AM

nextguardianIt's an opportunity to make a better next chapter in a book that will one day be filled with history. But I do understand. I've lost a few friends in my time, though it wasn't a case of romantic interest. Either way, you've got my sympathy, and if you need to talk it out, I'm here if you need a friendly ear (or eyeball, seeing as this isn't really a matter of listening).

Well, in that case- enjoy!

Well, Azami is similar in looks to one of the girls from Ikki Tousen. Maybe I've mentioned it before? It's your typical shonen fare- fights, clothes getting ripped off, etc. But it's based on the classic 'Romance of the Three Kingdoms'.

Hope you like it. It's not my usual style, but I found it amusing to write. ^^

YunieXTidus on June 8, 2011, 6:43:49 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI really appreciate that. The friend who I usually talk these sort of things out with is in a lot of emotional pain right now, and I don't want to burden him anymore than necessary. It also complicates things when I have feelings for him. It would feel weird, talking to someone I have feelings for about someone I have feelings for.

I'm enjoying the Shana so far. I'll need to get back into both of those.

nextguardian on June 8, 2011, 6:48:23 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYeah, I can see where that might be awkward. Well, hopefully I can be of help, then. ^^ I do want to say that you seem to be handling this maturely. More power to you there!

I'm glad! Kyon (the narrator/semi-star) and I are pretty similar, so it's easy to write as him ^^ And if you look close, you'll see that this Yuji was sort of a precursor to 'Serving's' Yuji.

YunieXTidus on June 8, 2011, 6:53:07 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThanks. It's taken a long time for me to acquire the viewpoint I have about relationships.

I love his attitude. And I really love the way you write it in his thought processes. Poor Yuji. Fated to a life of fear of girls, right from the very beginning.

nextguardian on June 8, 2011, 7:01:43 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYou've got a good, productive attitude. More power to you for getting back on the horse, so to speak. That takes guts.

lol, thanks. I tried to write it true to the light novels, aand I think it worked. Any favorite parts? I admit- mine was Shana's big stomp entry, and how Haruhi just randomnly looks down Yuji's pants XD Quite a roll reversal there.

YunieXTidus on June 8, 2011, 7:11:21 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThanks. It's hard sometimes, but I need to quit looking back, wondering "what if."

I quite liked the bit where she looked down his pants. So random. so funny. xD

nextguardian on June 8, 2011, 7:17:24 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat's exactly it. And you know what, you tried. Which is more than I did with my first love. At least you don't have that weighing you down. An honest effort is always worthwhile.

lol, poor Yuji/Kojiro. The first girl to glimpse him 'down there' is disappointed. lmao.

YunieXTidus on June 8, 2011, 7:24:34 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThis time, I really did try. I gave it my all. And following this road to its conclusion was really the only way for me to get closure on this, I think. I didn't want to regret anything, not saying something or doing something. I don't have that regret, because I put all my cards on the table, straight up. And I feel a sense of relief, and closure, knowing for certain that he and I aren't compatible. Which I never did in any other of our breakups.

Lol maybe Haruhi has unrealistic expectations.

nextguardian on June 8, 2011, 7:34:59 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWith certainty lies comfort. I say it's brave to ride it out to the final conclusion. I think you made the right choice.

I'm curious about what her expecations are, lol. Poor Kojiro. It's only been chapter one, and he's been knocked around by both crushes. Lol!

Well, I've got to go for now, but I'll be on later at the usual time. Hang tough, okay?

YunieXTidus on June 8, 2011, 7:41:06 AM

YunieXTidusThanks. For listening and for lightening my spirits, with your stories and such. xD. See you water!

nextguardianI wasn't sure if the reference was too blatant, or somehow distasteful. I wanted the fic to be edgy, but not offensive, you know?
That, and I wanted it to indicate what he *thinks* his position in the relationship is, and that he's okay with it. Odd, but it seemed important for some reason.

YunieXTidus on June 6, 2011, 3:54:43 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNothing to worry about, friend. :) it worked perfectly.

nextguardian on June 6, 2011, 3:58:27 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm glad :) I am having so much fun with Yuji being the bad guy, with an open sexual attraction, and with an outlet for his anger. He's normally so restrained that this is actually liberating to write, lol.

I'm just wondering what Azami will do to him next. It needs to be good, but shy of graphic. Hmm.

YunieXTidus on June 6, 2011, 4:02:24 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol well, you could make it tastefully graphic? Everyone loves a bit oof romantic smut.

YunieXTidus on June 6, 2011, 4:11:06 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusDamn it! (Throws stupid phone against wall) I didn't mean to do that.

I was going to say, I could do it for you, and you could 'tasteful' it up.

nextguardian on June 6, 2011, 4:12:37 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat might not be a bad idea. Let me see what I can throw around first, though. I'm thinking that it will just be the straight-up whip and collar stuff, minus the interrogation this time, followed by a good bit of tenderness and 'I love you' crap, then one last cruel bit of humilation.

YunieXTidus on June 7, 2011, 7:35:12 AM

nextguardianOh, geez. Wish I could help. Actually...have you tried chamomile tea? That seemed to help me when I had a brief isssue with allergies.

Yes, more Carpe Diem! Them more Borg! Then Trill Spots! XD

YunieXTidus on June 6, 2011, 12:34:49 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI have not tried that. Unfortunately, these are the country cousins I'm staying with. For chamomile, I have to wait til I get back to civilization. XD

Not quiiiite what I meant, but.... that, too! xD

nextguardian on June 6, 2011, 12:42:39 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAh, I see.Oh, I know! Have you tried steam? When I get a cold and my nasal passages and sinuses give me grief, I steam them, either with a long, very hot shower, or by boiling water on the stove, covering the pot and my head with a towel sort of like a tent, and inhaling. It looks weird, but it helps big time!

lol, I figured I'd just run over you with verbiage to get you working XD
No, seriously, what are you plans, if I can ask?

YunieXTidus on June 6, 2011, 12:53:57 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, first thing on Monday I'm going to my friends house to help her pack- she's staying at my place for a week or so. Then I'm alternating between hanging out with friends and babysitting (hopefully), so I can be making cash while I'm away from home. My friend who is staying with me is also going to take me to her dad's ranch and she's gonna teach me how to ride a horse! Lol I'm scared, but excited.

Then is my graduation reception... and my 18th birthday! then I'm back home In early July, getting a job and raking in serious cash for August. I'm visiting two friends in August. One, by myself and about 7 hours from where I live. The other is in Rhode island, and that's a two day trip with no stops. My horse friend is coming with me, to help with the costs and to get away from home. Her mother is really a horrible, horrible lady. The first friend, Im going to see the new harry potter movie, as well as cheer him up as best I can. He's in a very hard spot in life right now and need some company. The second friend is leaving the country permanently in September, so it'll be my last chance ever to see him unless he happens to strike it rich and is able to buy expensive plane tickets to see me! Lol.

nextguardian on June 6, 2011, 1:04:48 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianSounds like a good time all around (for the most part). I'm not doing much aside from the ST convention. Except for getting in shape so I can be a more convincing referee, and (hopefully soon to be) security guard. Getting in shape again will be a fun challenge. I hate the 'eat right' part of it, but I miss weight lifting and other excercise. So hopefully it'll work out well.
That, and I'm going to learn how to dance. No more feeling like self-conscious @$$ at weddings from now on! lmao.
So, my goals are really lame and self-centered while you're helping people XD

YunieXTidus on June 6, 2011, 1:32:03 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol I need to get back on my diet. I'd started a slimfast diet back in march, but about the beginning of may I fell off the wagon a bit. XD I need to star walking, but it's just so hot outside. I hate being hot AND sweaty. One or the other is manageable. But both? Bleh.

Hey, life is all about being self centered! Lol. I honestly can't wait to see Jenny. Lol she's also teaching me to play the guitar. I can't wait to ride a horse, either! XD just in general, I can't wait for this summer.

nextguardian on June 6, 2011, 1:36:49 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt takes a really, really good workout for me to be good with hot and sweaty. If I step outside and I'm both, forget it. Yuck. But if it's after some good exercise, I'm okay with that.

True, and there are more damaging ways to be self-centered. I'm also hoping to hit the mountains and learn to climb a bit ^^ I was never good with horses. lol, there are stories behind that, though. More power to you for learning to ride!

Quick question- what sort of flute is it that Picard plays? I cannot for the life of me remember!

YunieXTidus on June 6, 2011, 1:51:54 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIf I was near a computer, I could tell you. But I have no clue. Some sort of recorder type flute.

UGH. ENOUGH. WITH. THIS. DAMN. SNEEZING!!!

nextguardian on June 6, 2011, 1:55:20 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAh, found it (finally). A Ressikan flute. That was it. I could never remember.

I feel bad. I hope it clears up soon :(

YunieXTidus on June 6, 2011, 1:58:55 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAh! I've never heard of that. Lol.

Thanks. I should be better in an hour or so.

So what's up with you?

nextguardian on June 6, 2011, 2:02:42 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianApparently, he got it when he lived a lifetime in the past (for 25 mins) due to some anomaly. He plays it again later when that musician scientist comes on the Enterprise. She plays the piano (or something similar), and she and Picard have a thing. But, yeah.

Oh, good :)

Not much. Same old stuff. Brainstorming some story ideas as I relax. How about you?

YunieXTidus on June 6, 2011, 2:08:18 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI remember that episode! The one where he got it, not the one after that.

I'm much better now that I'm home. How about you?

YunieXTidus on June 5, 2011, 12:23:58 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAny girls ask you to dance?

I'm good, although being at my dad's family's house always sets off my allergies.

nextguardian on June 5, 2011, 12:27:14 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNope. Not many near my age, and none single. That, and the language barrier kind of sucked. Oh well. I can't dance anyway, lol.

Hope that clears up for you soon!

I really loved that Borg bit you shared with me!

YunieXTidus on June 5, 2011, 12:33:50 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol neither can I.

Yeah, I'd rather finish the drive up to my old house than stay here for a week.

Which bit was that?

nextguardian on June 5, 2011, 12:43:07 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI need to learn, though, so I'm not hiding in a corner at a wedding, watching a totally beautiful girl I might have a shot at hook up with some schmoe and tangle. lol.

I can understand that. Doesn't sound fun. I don't get have many allergies, but my sinuses act up pretty good when it rains. Gives me a wicked headache.

The whole bit you've shared so far ^^

nextguardianData was the man. His character was the most developed by the end of that series imho. And he pushed Dr. Crusher into the water.

nextguardianActually, I'm not going out of town. I'm headed to Canada. Blah. I like Canada, but I don't like weddings very much. God help me if some girl askes me to dance. There's the double whammy. I can't talk to her AND I can't dance (except the moonwalk, lol).

Yay! I can't wait for more! I say that alot, but I mean it every time!

Okay, I got Andr28a into Shakugan no Shana. I'm going to start pestering you next!

I know, and I can't wait for you to!

nextguardianThat's too bad. Meeting even a friend of a friend might have made the stupid thing more tolerable.

I'm really hating Viz Media and Geneon Entertainment. Viz canceled the Shana light novel translation, Geneon is slow on releasing DVD's for Shana (AND the Higurashi no Naku Koro ni kai arc ><'). Blah.
Good. If you're into it, my work here is done (Despite not having done anything) lol.

YunieXTidus on June 2, 2011, 1:45:03 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, I'm sorry to disappoint. I did have a friend in Canada, but we lost touch and I can't track him down! I also can't recall whereabouts he was in Canada. You'd have liked either of them, though. They're both nice guys, conversation-worthy.

xD My first thought was "what a horrible person you are!" But I totally understand the sentiment. He's an arrogant, pompous, self-righteous, (adj), (adj) old man. Even though his 'humbled-ness' comes at the price of heavy casualties. (Tsk tsk's you)

xD You're silly.

nextguardian on June 2, 2011, 1:54:48 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat's all right. I just want the next two and a half days to be over and done with as quickly as possible. I'm hoping the family in charge of the wedding isn't planning on having us do a whole bunch of stuff with them. I actually would like a vacation out of this, if I'm honest.

I feel bad for thinking it, but I can't help it. The guy just rubs me the wrong way. He's really irritating. And yet, he's a good character. Like Vogner (sp) or Detective Tritter on House. you hate them, but since that's the point, it's good!

Why thank you. I pride myself on it :)

YunieXTidus on June 2, 2011, 2:05:16 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI understand completely.

Hey, it happens. Don't judge yourself too harshly xD. And I have no idea who those people are.

nextguardianLol, I do the same thing. It's best to write what you're passionate about at the moment, I think. That will be your best work.

Hmm...maybe something like 'Satan's Spawn'? Something ominious. 'From Beyond the Stars'; 'Darkest Before Dawn'; "Darkest Corner of the World". Something like that, maybe?

YunieXTidusI sent it to your email because FAC was being stupid. But I'll put it here too.


She turned on them, slowly, mechanically, her clammy, mottled hand connecting with Holmes’ chest. The blow sent him flying across the infirmary, slamming into a very hard biobed. He slumped to the ground, unconscious. She fought and struggled and screamed inside her rapidly shrinking mental prison as she turned to face Julian. Their eyes locked, and for a moment, neither moved. A single tear leaked from the corner of one eye, and Julian’s eyes widened in surprise, then hardened in determination as he saw the fading anguish in her expression, as the Borg nanoprobes worked their way through her bloodstream and slowly eradicated any trace of individuality. They both knew that soon she wouldn’t be Amy anymore. She’d be a drone, a prisoner of her own mind, forced to carry out unspeakable atrocities. She could already hear echoes of the Collective in her mind, bearing down on her.

The two medical officers moved at the same time- Julian swiped up a hypospray as he dodged a swing from her deadly, enhanced limbs.

“I’m going to save you, Amy,” he stated, eyes blazing with determination as he dodged another deadly hit and aimed the hypospray straight for her jugular.

Her Borg reflexes were no match for his genetically enhanced ones. A pale hand snapped up and slapped the hypospray away, grabbing his arm and holding him immobile. Her sire Borg came from behind her field of vision and extended his arm- another tear leaked out as two tubes shot from his forearm into Julian’s neck. She watched as his tanned complexion turned sallow, and his veins became dark with the color of the nanoprobes now coursing through his veins. She let him go; they’d be back to collect him later, to complete the assimilation process. She and her Borg sire stepped over Dan’s limp form, out of the infirmary and into the station, ready to assimilate the station.

Amy Collins was no more.


A cold-sweat drenched Amy sat bolt upright in her dark quarters, a bloodcurdling shriek clawing its way out of her throat. Before she realized what she was doing, she’d jumped out of her bed, strode over to the glass table in the middle of the room, and put her fist through it. It hurt like hell, but she was just blessing her lucky stars that she could feel the pain, that she could move of her own accord. She passed her other trembling hand over her face and walked slowly to the sink.

“Computer, half-lights.” The room slowly brightened enough so she could see the damage she’d done. Her fist was full of shards of glass, and there was blood all over the floor.

It wasn’t supposed to go like that. Julian was supposed to inject her with the antidote to the nanoprobes, and she’d regain mobility moments later. They’d both check on Dan, who had a few cracked ribs and a minor concussion, but nothing broken. Then Julian would force her to lie down on a bio-bed and put her into a dreamless sleep to recover while he patched Dan up, then reported to Sisko and Odo.

“Collins to Holmes,” she said unsteadily after tapping her Commbadge- it took a few tries for her shaking hand to hit the right place. After a few moments, the groggy response came through.

”Holmes here. Is everything alright, Amy?”

“Could you… could you come to my quarters, please?” Her voice broke on the last word, and she tried to hold back the tears.

”On my way,” came his concerned, more alert reply.

She held her hand over the sink, watching, dazed, as droplet after droplet of blood slowly fell from her hand to collect in the center.

YunieXTidus on June 1, 2011, 2:14:19 PM

YunieXTidusIt most certainly is.

What fic would that be?

I'm pretty good. Attempting to scout out a summer job. July, precisely. xD No luck so far.

nextguardianSorry for the wait. Internet issues AND forgetting to hit submit delayed this comment --'

It's a mix of Shakugan no Shana and The Melancholoy of Haruhi Suzumiya. I really like it. Maybe I'll pick it up again.

Good luck to you! I'm picking up work again in the fall. I don't want to referee full time this winter. It came too close to killing me mentally. --'

YunieXTidusHaha, it happens to the best of us!

Well, once I get back into the swing of anime things, I'd love to take a gander at it! You should post it on FAC.

Thank you! I wish there were jobs at the public library. I may have to go into Barnes & Noble myself and see if they're hiring. I couldn't find anything on their site.

nextguardian on June 1, 2011, 2:41:13 PM

nextguardianApparently, lol. Blah. For some reason, all of a sudden my browser decided that FAC didn't exist 00' weird.

I'm tempted. It's really a fun little story imho.

The best thing you can do is be a regular at some place like that and just start talking with the staff. That's how I got my first job.

YunieXTidus on June 1, 2011, 3:02:29 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat happened to me yesterday!

You should! I'd like to read it when I get back into those anime.

Well, if I had the money to be a regular, I so would. But unfortunately, I can't be buying books every week. xD

nextguardianThat's weird. I wonder what's going on all of a sudden.

Alright, I will. It needs some editing, but it's doable ^^

Oh, you've got to be kidding. Driving is awesome! xD HOW old are you, and you STILL only have your permit? (shakes head in shame) What kind of American citizen are you?!

Wow, checking in early tonight? xD See you later, then!

Nah, I'm just not a fan. For me, there are plenty of other good ways to get killed or (more likely) make a fool of yourself. I don't know. I just don't have an aptitude for it. I never break a sweat (save for exercising or attempting to talk to a girl), and I swear I had the worst cold sweat case going. I just can't relax behind the wheel.

nextguardian on
nextguardianI insist! XD

I'm glad. I'm not out to offend you. See next comment.

Don't take me seriously; I'm just in a goofy mood tonight. I'm dreading this wedding I have to go to this weekend, and I've been all depressed about it. I think I'm punch drunk from depression over it or something, lmao.

I decided to share just a little shred of what I've worked on for our co-op. What do you think:

All was normal in Ops that morning. Sisko ordered a Raktajino, just like usual. Kira handily directed ships, just like usual. Dax played around with scientific formulas, just like usual. Nothing out of the ordinary at all.

Holmes was studying Kira today, learning what exactly a liaison officer did. She was certainly good at her job- Holmes just wasn’t positive he understood the subtleties. He supposed the difference between a first officer and a liaison first officer were cultural differences or semantics. Shrugging, he studied the docking ring layout, noting that all but one spot was full.

“Sensors are picking up a damaged vessel that just exited the wormhole,” Dax called out.

Holmes checked his console. He looked up sharply, meeting Kira’s eye. “Confirmed.”

“Life signs?” Kira asked. “And put it on screen, Mr. Holmes.”

The image of a small ship flashed up on the screen. It was basically a boxy sort of oval shape, decorated with a single warp nacelle placed on top of the hull. The ship was a light brown in color and wa,s at Holmes’ estimation, a single person vessel.

“Reading one life sign…” Dax noted, her hands playing over the console. She looked perplexed, but spoke her mind right away.
“It’s a Trill. The Trill is fine, but the host is dying…”

Holmes stood up and stepped toward the turbolift, moving at a jog. He was the only one not doing anything essential to ships functions right now, so he followed his instincts and reacted.
“Holmes to Infirmary, medical emergency, docking bay 2. Prepare for both Trill and Host.”

”Collins here. Understood, Holmes. Bashir and I are en route.

Dax looked down from her station at Kira.
“I should go, Kira. There may be something with Trill physiology that I can help with.”

Kira nodded her consent as a Bajoran took Dax’s spot.

Holmes held the turbolift for Dax, who stepped on next to him.

“Docking bay,” Holmes told the computer. And down they rode.

YunieXTidus on May 31, 2011, 2:29:58 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLove, love, LOVE this! I just knew you were going to find a way SOMEHOW to get those spots. xD

This is kind of ironic, because I was just about to share something with you.


As each step carried Amy closer to Commander Sisko’s office, her smile faded further and further into a tight-lipped frown of apprehension. Nervousness clawed at her belly, and the burden of the bad news she had to deliver weighed heavily on her heart. Being in the medical profession meant you had to put aside your feelings and deal with horrible, devastating situations. That definitely didn’t mean that those feelings wouldn’t catch up with you later.

Her brisk pace bought her a few curious glances from the officers on-duty, and she noted briefly how smoothly they worked together. A brusque, Bajoran woman with short red hair was pacing the floor frantically, barking orders and occasionally conferring with a much taller brunette, whose face and neck were adorned with Trill spots. Amy jogged up the steps to Sisko’s office, swallowed her momentary panic, and opened the door.

A tall, well-built man with dark, chocolate colored skin looked up, his eyes revealing the anxiety his face did not show; she could only assume he was Benjamin Sisko, as the only person in the room other than her was Captain Keogh.

“Pardon me, sirs. I’ve just come from the promenade. The situation has been contained.” Amy looked to Keogh with sorrow in her eyes. “I’m sorry to report, sir… Over 100 casualties. 46 deaths, and the rest were critically injured. We managed to stabilize the rest of them, but I’m afraid they won’t be fit for transport for a few more days.”

Keogh’s self-important mask fell away as the enormity of his loss hit him. Amy eased him into a nearby chair, noting with mild concern that he seemed to have gone into shock.

Sisko stood up, straightened his jacket and walked around the desk to stand in front of the ensign. He exhaled loudly, then put on a weary smile and extended his hand.

“Welcome to DS9, Ensign. Although I wish it were under different circumstances.”

She took his hand, grateful for the gesture.

“Thank you, sir. So do I.”

nextguardian on May 31, 2011, 2:36:14 PM

nextguardianand it has the effect of giving them a reason to talk ^^

If I may quote a genius:
love it, love it, LOVE IT!

You are so much better with description than I am. I might have a point, but I go from A to B with little variation. You really expand on things very well. It's much more satisfying to read what you wrote that way :)

YunieXTidus on May 31, 2011, 2:39:43 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusrofl at you quoting a genius. xD.

Except I forget the little things, like the soft whirring of machinery in OPs, her reaction to the transport pad she'd never seen before. The whoosh of the doors.

nextguardian on May 31, 2011, 2:44:26 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHey, you've gotta know the classics! XD

True enough, I guess. Those are the only things I ever think of (minus the transporter), lol. Although when we finally get a fist fight in there, I might really shine! XD I swear, Holmes will not use that ludicrous double fist. He's going to punch like a man, darn it! XD

YunieXTidus on May 31, 2011, 2:48:10 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol I look forward to seeing what you do with Holmes and the Borg.

Anyway, I think I'll turn in for the night. Hopefully I'll get some more accomplished tomorrow on our story! XD. Nice talking with you!

nextguardian on May 31, 2011, 2:55:39 PM

nextguardianIt'll be fun. The Borg are the ultimate enemy imho.

Have a good night. Nice chatting with you!

YunieXTidus on June 1, 2011, 9:14:31 AM

YunieXTidusI totally agree. Also, I sent you an email with a little clip from the Borg episode that I came up with a few minutes ago. I can't wait to hear what you think! ^^

YunieXTidus on May 31, 2011, 12:29:53 PM

YunieXTidusSure. I thought we were doing a four-parter, but three works for me. Can you wrap it up in three parts? It is YOUR story, after all.

nextguardian on May 31, 2011, 12:31:44 PM

YunieXTidusThe book I'm reading right now is so good. It's called 'Star Trek: Destiny - Gods of Night.' It takes place several years after Nemesis. The Borg are back. Only this time, they don't want to assimilate the Federation. They want to annihilate it. The Enterprise, the Titan, and a ship from the past named the Columbia are all key in figuring out how to save trillions of lives.

Thanks. :)

nextguardianIn one sense, I'm lucky. In another, I'm going into the middle of the desert during August. I'm used to the cold, lol.

Not much. Working on 'Serving' a bit. And 'Mercenaries', too.

YunieXTidus on May 31, 2011, 1:16:23 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHaha, I totally understand. Although I live in Texas now, I previously lived in Central Illinois for several years. And my brother lives in Chicago! It gets a biiiiiiit chilly in the winter. xD

Can't wait to see what you do with Mercinaries.

nextguardian on May 31, 2011, 1:21:18 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYeah, it does, lol. Big time. Plus that wind, geez!

I'm having fun with Mercenaries, but I think that Serving will wind up more interesting, if less personally satisfying for me.

And a big 'duh' to me- I forgot to tell you I updated 'Serving' last night --'

YunieXTidus on May 31, 2011, 1:23:58 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, don't get me wrong. I totally love Chicago. So beautiful.

Oh, I totally forgot about it! I got the update email, but I was on my phone so I couldn't check it out, and then it totally slipped my mind. Off to read it now!

And lol, I just realized I say 'totally' a lot. xD

nextguardianChi-town has it's good points, for sure. I've never lived there, but I can appreciate the place itself to some degree from visiting.

It wouldn't have hurt if I'd actually remembered to tell you, though. I really should have mentioned it.

I do, too. Now that you've mentioned it, I'm going to be all self-conscious.

YunieXTidus on May 31, 2011, 1:34:05 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIt's wonderful. The beach is awesome in the summer. Don't even try to go in early spring. The water is absolutely freezing.

Naw, it's okay!

xD Sorry. Commented!

Jeez, I can't wait to get started on the Borg chapter! xD
I'm sure you can figure out a way to make Amy more endeared to Holmes in this chapter, and the Borg one. Bonding through trauma, and all? xD I dunno.

nextguardian on May 31, 2011, 1:38:07 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm more of a mountain person than a beach person. I was just talking about going climbing at some point. Which is odd, because I hate heights. Lol, watch me Kirk my way off the mountain without a Spock to catch me!

Glad you liked it. Yuji is so stupid. Seriously, walking into the center of an occult city? I'm not a fan of this arc, even though I wrote it. It's necessary, but I just...blegh. It could have been better.

If I'm getting her character correclty, she'd probably figure out he's a decent officer before figuring out he's a decent human being, right?

YunieXTidus on May 31, 2011, 1:43:46 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI love the views from the mountains. But heights... heights are just... argh. xD Lmao at that reference.

I like it! Don't beat yourself up.

Yep! I'm thinking about giving her a specific kind of agoraphobia. xD Specifically, outer space agoraphobia. Those scenes where they're doing maintenance on the hull of the ship always makes me hyperventilate. xD

nextguardian on May 31, 2011, 1:48:45 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI have this bad habit about correcting my flaws. If it's something I can fix, it bothers me until I do. That includes heights, I guess. I hope there's no lemming blood in me.

I'm glad you do. Maybe I don't like it because the point of it won't be clear until much later. It's just kind of floaitng there right now.

Oh, that's a good idea! Perfect for someone living on a Space Station XD I love the concept!

YunieXTidus on May 31, 2011, 1:51:37 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHa, well, that's admirable. Me, I'd throw up before I managed to 'fix' anything. xD

Well, give it time! I can't wait to see how it turns out.

I'm glad you appreciate the irony! xD Being stranded out in the middle of space with nothing but a spacesuit is her greatest fear. Well, mine, but who's keeping track? xDD

nextguardian on May 31, 2011, 1:54:53 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, I'm pretty sure I would, too. I'm a huge 'nature' person in that I love to explore, though. Must be some kind of 'exploration'.

I'll try. It's just boring knowing how it'll work out XD

It's a good story point, I think. Plenty of development material imho.

Oh, for the Borg thing- how about having Amy throw Holmes at one point. Like in a fit of Borg-induced rage as he's trying to help Bashir sedate her. That gives them a reason to talk later, since she might actually apologize for putting him through Bashir's diagnostic table! lol.

YunieXTidus on May 31, 2011, 1:58:54 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusPerfect! You're brilliant. I'm wondering how close I should cut the rescue. Like, should he have JUST injected her, or should they catch him in the middle of trying to fit her with standard Borg 'apparel'? I think that would be more interesting, because it gives Amy time to realize how awful being a Borg is. You see what you're doing, but you can't control your body. You lose your sense of individuality. Horribly traumatic. xD Poor Holmes. We're making a habit of abusing your male OC's.

nextguardian on May 31, 2011, 2:04:32 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAfter reading this, YOU are the genius, my friend. Let's go with that. Take it and run! :) This is going to be fun!
True, but I'm going to be kinder to him in this series. I really want to find a way to make him and Dax work, at least for a while. Maybe it's a fanboy thing, but I don't care. For once, the kid is going to be happy, damn it! XD
Yuji, of course, will suffer in my other fics to make up for it. :D

nextguardianLet's see...WEll, that depends. Do you want to be able to call on Amy having been (almost) a Borg in the future? Or do you want the idea completely eradicated. I think I can have Bashir come up with an interesting cure that 'sounds right' either way, actually.

YunieXTidus on May 30, 2011, 2:28:56 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI think it'd be an interesting effect, to have her as "almost" being a Borg. Like, a sort of connection, maybe? Kind of like how Picard could still hear the Borg even after he was disconnected from them? Or would that not be plausible? Picard was a unique case, after all.

I'm getting excited to write this! xD

nextguardian on May 30, 2011, 2:33:23 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI think we can do that. Have Bashir come up with a hasty cure that suppresses rather than kills the nanoprobes, leaving them dormant in Amy's system and requiring weekly shots (at first) of the 'cure'. This would mean that she needs the supply of medicine, or...the plot thickens!

I'm getting excited to read it :)

YunieXTidus on May 30, 2011, 2:36:38 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusDo you want to do this one early on or later? (obviously after we wrap up the episode we're on.) I think it could give a good segue into Amy and Holmes becoming better friends. Of course, because he saves her. But also, she could have recurring nightmares and he invites her to join him in his Vulcan medication. What do you think?

nextguardian on May 30, 2011, 2:44:34 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI think it should come anytime before her misunderstanding with Bashir. That way Holmes helping her can be a prelude to her going to him later, during the mishap with Bashir.

I've got to go for tonight. Good chatting with you :)

YunieXTidus on May 30, 2011, 2:47:46 PM

Not bad, actually. It's inspiring me to finish other sketches, too. I just need to actually finish it. Shouldn't be too much longer now.

YunieXTidus on May 30, 2011, 11:20:00 AM

YunieXTidus on May 30, 2011, 11:31:39 AM

YunieXTidusYeah, she says she won't get discouraged by 'flames,' as she put it. Good! Watched 6 this morning, and in the middle of generations now. First contact later tonight.

Almost done :)

nextguardian on May 30, 2011, 12:04:58 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianbtw- how comfortable would you be writing about Amy from Bashir's POV?

YunieXTidus on May 30, 2011, 12:53:29 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOkay, I'm done!

And I can certainly try... what did you have in mind?

nextguardian on May 30, 2011, 1:00:07 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOkay, here's my idea: Bashir and Holmes are on a runabout, going to offer aid to a planet in the Gamma Quardrant. On the way there, they're struck by an energy ribbon drawn to them by the takyon particles given off by the wormhole. They wind up in the Nexus. Holmes recalls Picard's report on the Nexus, and because he knows what to do, he stays calm, analyzes the Nexus scientifically, and enjoys a few fantasies. Some with Dax, but he wishes to see Picard, Kirk, and Soran fight it out to save the Veridian system. There he encounters the 'echo' of Soran, who injures him while putting them both in a hellish scenario from which Holmes must escape. Soran's been in the Nexus longer, so he's more skilled with using it. Holmes 'wishes' himself to Bashir, where they manage to fend off Soran's echo and escape back to the point before they encountered the Nexus.
And obviously, Bashir could have a fantasy or two about Amy.

What do you think?

Oh- I updated 'Serving'. Enjoy!

YunieXTidus on May 30, 2011, 1:04:07 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI love this! No good star trek fanfic can go without a plot like this. I could do my best, but I'd have to see yours first, to know where to go. xD

I saw that, I'll check it out after I finish first contact. :D

nextguardian on May 30, 2011, 1:08:14 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThanks :) I did one similar to this, except I didn't understand Star Trek much, and the story made no sense. But it ended with Holmes fighting alongside Kirk and Picard, this time ensuring they both leave alive.

No rush :) First Contact is good ^^

YunieXTidus on May 30, 2011, 1:10:46 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'd like to read it, in any case! XD

Lol at the sensual Borg leader lady.

nextguardian on May 30, 2011, 1:14:03 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI don't even know what happened to that fic. I think it was destroyed when my old comp went kablooey :( It really sucked, and made no sense, lol.

I liked her best in Voyager. She was really a good character ^^

YunieXTidus on May 30, 2011, 1:21:57 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI was thinking we could also do something with the Borg. Like, a leftover Borg from a destroyed collective arrives on DS9 in secrecy, and tries to assimilate the station, or something. I was thinking that like, Amy gets infected with the Borg nanites, and Bashir has to rush against time to save her. Any thoughts?

YunieXTidus on May 30, 2011, 2:05:02 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusDamn it, stupid phone hit delete instead of reply. Can you re-reply to that? xD

nextguardian on May 30, 2011, 2:06:36 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianSure.

FAC stopped working for me. I guess it wasn't just your computer.

I love that idea. You should absolutely run with that! Maybe I'll have Holmes finally earn a measure of respect from Odo when the two of them fight the Borg invader.

YunieXTidus on May 30, 2011, 2:09:16 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThanks xD. Damn phone.

How do you suggest we make it hard for the Borg to be detected at first?

nextguardianlol. Apparently, Chekov actually ran around asking 'real' people about the wessels. Those weren't extras- they were people with no clue about what was going on! lmao, poor folks!

How are you tonight?

YunieXTidus on May 29, 2011, 12:10:14 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI love Chekhov. Wessels, indeedy. I'm pretty good. Waiting on star trek 5 to record so I can watch 6, generations, first contact, then nemesis.

nextguardian on May 29, 2011, 12:13:17 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm watching Generations now. That was the first bit of ST I ever saw, so it's got sentimental value. I'm dying to include the Nexus in our co-op fic.

YunieXTidus on May 29, 2011, 12:18:04 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHold your horses, I haven't seen it yet!

Also, I was wondering how to tie up things with the Odyssey while tying into your next chapter. I was thinking about having her report to sisko's office, and keogh would be there too, and she'd have to brief them both about what happened. Then keogh leaves with his casualties (or has to stay for a few days til the criticals recover) and sisko welcomes her to DS9.

nextguardian on May 29, 2011, 12:29:54 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianDon't worry; I won't say anything beyond that.

That sounds like a perfect plan. You could always do it in the form of a medical officer's log, just to be different. But that sounds about right to me.

YunieXTidus on May 29, 2011, 12:32:14 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh, my god. My friend is (trying to) write a fanfic. It's absolutely riddled with grammatical and spelling errors. -_- Stupid soul, I volunteered to be her beta. I mean, it's AWFUL. Here. (tosses you the link like it's diseased)

But honestly, maybe a nice pair of boxers? I prefer red silk. Maybe a nice undershirt, if such a thing exists.

nextguardian on May 26, 2011, 3:52:03 PM

nextguardianFinally, I managed to catch you off-guard with something! It's a small victory, but I'll take it. ^^

I thought for sure you'd pick some frilly thong or something, lol.

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusDear god, no. If he's wearing that, I'm leaving. I'll put on a bathrobe and walk out right then.

nextguardian on May 26, 2011, 3:58:08 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianA friend of mine told me that the only way he could get this girl he liked to date him was by fulfilling her demand-try on her underwear. I told the guy he was an idiot for doing it. (The jerk was the type who could have been with any girl who was not making demands, but wanted the one girl he 'couldn't' have)
I have no idea what to say to that. I mean, I joked about it in my mercenaries fic because it fit Azami, but wow.

YunieXTidus on May 27, 2011, 7:00:15 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol, night after night, I fall asleep on you. xD I'm sorry.

Yeah, that's a little... hrrm.

nextguardian on May 27, 2011, 8:46:29 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt's okay :)

There's a word for that- NO.
Seriously, unless you're getting some serious tale out of it (and it'd better be good), no way. If I had to 'buy' the right to date someone like that...forget it. Not worth it.

YunieXTidus on May 27, 2011, 12:34:37 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYeah, it BETTER be okay. >;)

Lol yeah, that's messed up.

How are you tonight?

nextguardian on May 27, 2011, 12:48:18 PM

nextguardianI was asleep not long after, so I can't talk.

Then again, if she could make the guy do it...wow.

I'm not bad. How are you?

nextguardian on May 27, 2011, 12:48:45 PM

YunieXTidusI'm pretty good. Finishing my poster for graduation after-party. Today was the last day! Except for finals. But oh my god! No more high school!

That... I have no words.

nextguardian on May 27, 2011, 2:03:39 PM

nextguardianCongrats :) Big time. FREEDOM!

That was my reaction, too. Oh, the girl at 7 seconds in is a cross-dressing boy, apparently.

YunieXTidus on May 27, 2011, 2:42:42 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusTotally okay. I had o finish something. I'm watching inception right now with my mom. Awesome movie. So, what's up with you?

nextguardian on May 27, 2011, 3:19:47 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNot much. Babysitting my sick Grandma, studying Japanese, and finally relaxing because my coursework is done ^^

And, lol, I was thinking about a fic RQ I'm going to ask of you later on XD

YunieXTidus on May 27, 2011, 3:25:44 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusTell me. :)

nextguardian on May 27, 2011, 3:28:46 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, well, I was going to throw out a scenario and let you fill in the blanks.

Yuji is in the hot spring, relaxing in the buff, when (Azami)(Sakura)(Other) walks in. And...
Then it becomes a romance fic of your design :) Basically, I'd like to be surprised by what happens.
No pressure to take such an RQ, of course. I'm just tired of knowing the ending to Yuji's romances. (or lack thereof)

YunieXTidus on May 28, 2011, 6:26:21 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWho's the "other"? Sounds good! I'll take a crack at it!

Atm I'm watching "search for Spock," after finishing wrath of khan. There's a marathon on syfy today!

nextguardian on May 28, 2011, 9:16:44 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNo one in particular. I was going to let you pick which girl(s) run into Yuji. Beyond that scenario, I want to be surprised ^^

If I hadn't just watched the TOS movies, I'd be all over that!

YunieXTidus on May 28, 2011, 10:43:03 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNow I'm at the band banquet. Last one evar! I'm not sure what to think. Lol.

I haven't seen any of them, ever! Can't wait to get home and finish them. What up with you tonight?

nextguardian on May 28, 2011, 12:19:15 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI hope you're having a good time, then :D

Four out of the TOS movies are good. 1 and 5 aren't so hot imho.
Same old, same old here :)

YunieXTidus on May 28, 2011, 1:55:11 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm watching 4 right now. What's up?

nextguardian on May 28, 2011, 2:16:31 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardiannm really. Just relaxing. Miserable rain is giving me a headache.
Oh, four is a good one! Is Saavik in that one? I can't remember.

YunieXTidus on May 28, 2011, 2:21:20 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYes! She's hot. There's so much tension between her and Spock because she helped him with the pon'phar or however you spell it when he was aging with the planet. That's like, a super intimate thing, eight?

nextguardian on May 28, 2011, 2:23:19 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI admit, she is hot. But she's also a good character. And you're right- yay for Vulcan sex! lmao.
I admit, the first time I watched 4, I kind of rolled my eyes. But when Spock goes after the guy on the bus, I lol'ed and just enjoyed the ride ^^

YunieXTidus on May 28, 2011, 4:39:22 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIt's so funny! I love Spock and Kirk's interactions. And Spock and Bones. They're all so funny. Lol at the "colorful metaphors".

Oh, quick questions about "Mercenaries"- is Yuji's attire imposing? Especially the surgical mask?

YunieXTidus on May 25, 2011, 10:35:15 PM

YunieXTidusImposing how?

nextguardian on May 26, 2011, 1:23:41 PM

nextguardianIgnore my sleep-addled comments. I should have said 'menacing' or 'creepy' -_-'

YunieXTidus on May 26, 2011, 1:35:57 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol okay then. It's not too menacing. Not enough to be 'imposing' to the plot. ;) It works, don't fret.

How are you tonight?

nextguardian on May 26, 2011, 2:29:04 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHmm. Then it did not achieve the desired effect. Perhaps my own innate fear of surgery is not shared among others. I'll need to retool that...

I'm not bad; how about you? Sorry I'm so late.

YunieXTidus on May 26, 2011, 2:32:41 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, no, I mean it's kind of weird for Yuji to dress like that. I meant that it was believable.

I'm pretty good. Yes, shame on you!

nextguardian on May 26, 2011, 2:35:39 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI think it's one of those things that will only make complete sense to me. If I could make a movie of it, it might work. Visual interpretation is key. But mostly, he seems like an insane doctor. Not that that isn't scary, but it wasn't what I was aiming for.

I had a good excuse- I was watching Star Trek! The episode where Data creates...I can't spell the name, so- his daughter.

YunieXTidus on May 26, 2011, 2:37:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLal. Good ep. I'm bootlegging movies for a party in class tomorrow. Shhh! ;)

That one and Yesterday's Enterprise are probably my two favorites. God, I just want to put the Crushers out an airlock, though! XD

YunieXTidus on May 26, 2011, 2:46:57 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusDon't you dare! Wesley is so adorable.

Have you heard the song "If I Die Young" by The Band Perry? It's been stuck in my head all day. As has "Feeling Good" by Muse. Both amazing songs.

nextguardian on May 26, 2011, 2:53:48 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'll let Riker live if Wesley goes... XD Sorry, that's mean.
I'll get rid of Troi instead.

No, I'm not familiar with either of those. I'll take a listen, though ^^ I've had the German national anthem stuck in my head, of all things 00'

YunieXTidus on May 26, 2011, 2:59:50 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusMan, let up a little! Riker's hot. Troi gets more tolerable in later eps.

They're both awesome. And lol me too. We watched a movie in which it was played in Whist.

Btw, my friend offered to buy me lingerie, so now i'm looking at the site he linked. xD Just for fun, of course.

nextguardian on May 26, 2011, 3:06:04 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, she does. I hated the 'Captain, I sense something strange, but I can't tell you what it is' thing. That would drive me nuts if I was Picard, lol.

Ah, very nice. For some reason, national anthems always stick with me.

Oh, nice! lol. Tell me, would you take that sort of thing as an insult ordinarilly?

YunieXTidus on May 26, 2011, 3:08:40 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, it depends on who's offering. And technically, I told him to buy me some when he went to New York this summer. :P But, why do you ask?

nextguardian on May 26, 2011, 3:11:00 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNot to get all Data on you, but like him, I don't quite grasp certain aspects of humanity; specifically male/female relationships. I'm...uncertain if I was not sexually involved with said female if I could suggest buying intimate garments without being worried that she would be offended.
Okay, so I DID Data-up my language a bit, but the concept remains the same :)

YunieXTidus on May 26, 2011, 3:14:49 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol well, unless you are or are planning to get physically intimate with her, or you're best friends and talk about sexual stuff on a daily basis, I suggest not. It would be super awkward. The guy is a friend that I flirt with a lot, and who knows? We may end up being physically intimate at some point. ;P

xD I decided on two. Would you care to see? ;)

nextguardian on May 26, 2011, 3:19:15 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI thought not. There are just too many ways that can be mistaken, even with the best of intentions. Is it the same with regular clothes? Certainly presenting a girl with a sweatshirt is different than underwear?

lol, I'd better not, tempting though it may be XD

YunieXTidus on May 26, 2011, 3:21:28 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol much, much different. Sweatshirt is very safe territory. Underwear, however... risky. xD

Aw, you're no fun! 3:<

nextguardian on May 26, 2011, 3:24:38 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianSee, it's different for a guy. Any gift of any kind is immediately dissected. What is the true meaning behind it? If it's not his style, it's 'Am I not dressing the right way for her?'. If it's downright ugly, it's 'crap, how can I get out of wearing this without offending her.' There's no such thing as 'just a gift'. Everything gets psychoanalyzed.

WeEll...okay, why not. I'll admit I'm curious. (sigh) I am only human, after all. Share away!

YunieXTidus on May 26, 2011, 3:27:56 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHmm. Turns out you can help me as much as I can help you! xD I had no idea about that.

Lol. It's nothing too risque. My tastes are somewhat modest. Well, for lingerie.

http://www.bodylingerie.com/Embroidered-Mesh-Babydoll--P7297.aspx

http://www.bodylingerie.com/Embroidered-Mesh-Babydoll--P7279.aspx

Also, if you decide to go wandering through the site, I feel it necessary to warn you some of the girls don't cover their lady-lumps. Just so you're prepared. xD

nextguardian on May 26, 2011, 3:34:56 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, absolutely. Only the most thoughtless jackass would ignore that thought process. Clothes and jewelry are terrifying to men. There is no right answer. They're 'loaded gifts' so to speak. Ditto with any book that contains any vague idea of 'changing us'.
Also, it's true: When you say 'Be honest. Does this make my butt look big?', our reaction will be assure you it does not, true or false. The commercials nailed that one.

Tasteful; very cute. Certainly titillating .
Okay, juvenile pun aside, very nice :) Maybe I'll get some ideas...for character development, you understand! (Clears throat).

YunieXTidus on May 26, 2011, 3:37:47 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol that entire thing made me laugh out loud.

Character development, of course! (looks around, embarrassed) I mean, what other kinds of ideas would you be getting?

Although honestly, I can't see myself wearing those on a regular basis. I mean, if stuff's gonna happen, it's probably not going to be planned. If that makes any sense at all.

It's precisely that killer instinct that makes you females so terrifying! XD

Yuji as a bad guy...I honestly never thought I would do that.

I agree with you. Her clothes are one of the inspirations for how I picture Azami. Although Azami is usually more...dominatrix-y.

nextguardian on May 24, 2011, 2:18:20 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHolmes: It isn't me, 'per say'? Care to elaborate, Doctor? Unless...well, she looked at my uniform. And considering that the only difference is red vs blue, I'm inclined to think that either she feels very strongly about blue as her favorite color, or there's something about the red she objects to...(leans forward) I can guess is you'd rather not tell me outright...

lol, hey, if you go sadist I might not be able to resist you! 00' ;) I had to fire back. The one-sided exchange was getting sad on my end, lol.

YunieXTidus on May 24, 2011, 10:50:52 PM

YunieXTidusBashir: Well.... (looks around uncomfortably, then leans forward, too) Let's just say that red has not been the bringer of good things for Ms. Collins.

Sure thing. I'll get to work on it tonight and I should have it done by tomorrow.

YunieXTidus on May 25, 2011, 12:45:50 PM

YunieXTidusBashir: Give her some time. You're a nice guy, she'll come 'round eventually. If you'd like, I could talk to her...?

Lmao, just rofl. I'm so proud of you! You're making such progress.

nextguardian on May 25, 2011, 12:50:00 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHolmes: That's alright, Doctor. Collins...I know that name. But why...(smacks hand on table) Admiral Collins! Well, that explains a lot, if I'm guessing correctly...

I'm working hard at it ^^ lol!

YunieXTidus on May 25, 2011, 1:02:34 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusBashir: From what I gather, he's an important figurehead. Apart from that, I'm araid my knowledge is lacking...

I must say I was floored with that one! I didn't even know you OWNED a whip! ;)

nextguardian on May 25, 2011, 1:08:35 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHolmes: He's a very prominent Admiral. He could mobilize all of Starfleet if he wanted to. I bet there were guys...wearing red...oh, no wonder she hated me instantly!

Oh, sure. I got it for when Azami was torturing Yuji. I wanted to know what I was really writing about. That's why it's so realistic. Except I couldn't find an Azami to my Yuji. Whipping yourself just holds no satisfaction compared to the real thing...
And that's how I became a submissive.
LMAO! jk, of course! I'm not THAT far gone quite yet XD

YunieXTidus on May 25, 2011, 1:13:29 PM

Lmao you... scare me sometimes. 00'

nextguardian on May 25, 2011, 1:18:52 PM

nextguardianHolmes: Very true. Well, on the upside, I'm nothing like she's assuming, so I don't have to do anything special to change her mind. Then again, I'm not very good at understanding the fairer sex. Have you any advice, Doctor?

lol, that was the idea. I can't even take myself seriously when I type that stuff. And I guarantee you I'd NEVER be able to spit that out to a girl in real time.

YunieXTidus on May 25, 2011, 1:26:29 PM

xDDD Data. I <3 Data. Even Data gets the girls. ;)

nextguardianHolmes: Very amusing, Doctor. The Lt is very...well, noticeable. I'm hardly the type to have my head turned by a woman constantly, so when it happens it's a bit stirring. If you saw her first, I will absolutely back off.

Data is the freakin' man. Android. Whatever. Poor, poor Tasha.

YunieXTidus on May 25, 2011, 1:51:24 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusBashir: Just because I saw her first doesn't mean I get first dibs. That's totally up to her. Me, I've got a bad rap for being a Romeo. She is quite immune to my charms. You, on the other hand... Who knows. I say, go for it. (claps him on the shoulder)

xD Mandroid. Poor Tasha.

nextguardian on May 25, 2011, 1:53:10 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHolmes: Well, if you're absolutely fine with it, Doctor. But I'm certain to be turned down. Without buttering you up, if you didn't manage to charm her, I certainly won't. By the way, if you're fine with dismissing formality for the time being, you can call me 'Dan'.

You ever notice Star Trek women don't ever stay dead? Janeway, Tasha, Troi (I think; can't remember for sure)...lol.

YunieXTidus on May 25, 2011, 1:57:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusBashir: Then I insist you call me Julian. But honestly, don't dismiss yourself so easily. I certainly have no idea what type of man Jadzia is in to. You may be exactly her type. You're bright, modest, not unattractive, .... I'm absolutely fine with it, Dan, and I really think you ought to go for it.

00' you're right!

nextguardian on May 25, 2011, 2:00:34 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHolmes: Well then, Do-Julian, I'll give it a shot. As soon as I figure out how to approach her. I'm really not good with women...How do YOU approach it? Talking to them, I mean?

Not so with the men. They get captured and survive, but if they die they stay that way. Or they get cloned, ala Riker and Data.

nextguardian on May 25, 2011, 2:00:51 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardian^., not ?

YunieXTidus on May 25, 2011, 2:03:57 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusBashir: (laughs) Well, how would you approach me? In a general context, not... (sigh)

xD True. And what?

nextguardian on May 25, 2011, 2:07:07 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHolmes: No, I sort of get it. Let's say you're Lt Dax. Aside from the usual 'hi, how are you' stuff that's standard, how do I actually phrase the 'how about going out with me?' part?

Mistake in my punctuation. I meant to put a period and instead added a question mark. bleh. --'

YunieXTidus on May 25, 2011, 2:10:38 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh, I get it. xD it looked like gibberish to me.

Bashir: Well... talk to her for a bit, get her conversation juices flowing, then say something like, "Say, Jadzia, do you have plans for dinner tonight?" The rest should fall into place. If she says no, that doesn't necessarily mean she's not interested. Keep that in mind. Just try again some other time.

YunieXTidusBashir: (looks at Holmes walking away, then back to Amy) It may just be my imagination, but I do believe Ensign Holmes just received the 'cold shoulder.'

Amy: (surprised) what are you talking about?


That's quite a good idea!

nextguardian on May 24, 2011, 11:53:41 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: You should be honest at least with yourself, Amy. You didn't like Ensign Holmes for some reason. He was perfectly polite from what I heard, so either he made a vulgar gesture...(stands up, holding a hypospray out to her)
Or you have some reason to instantly dislike him for a reason known only to you.

I can't believe it didn't occur to me until just now! Now THAT has possibilities for both OC's!

Oh- I updated 'Mercenaries'. Enjoy!

YunieXTidus on May 24, 2011, 12:02:25 PM

It's brilliant! Both OC's?

nextguardian on May 24, 2011, 12:14:01 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: Oh, just a little. He certainly got your message. What IS it, exactly, that made you not like him so quickly, if I may ask?

We could do something like "okay, Amy knows she doesn't like Holmes. Holmes gets that. He realizes who her father is, and sort of wonders if she's a spoiled daddy's girl. She assumes that's what he thinks" We would just need to cook up instances where they speak to someone about each other. (Bashir, I think, would do best).

YunieXTidus on May 24, 2011, 12:18:44 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: (flushes, embarrassed) I... I've just come not to trust men like him, is all.

Ah, that'd make for a good episode or two.

nextguardianBashir: 'Men like him'? What's "Like him", exactly? All I see is a starfleet officer...

It could turn into a he said, she said thing with Bashir caught in the middle.

YunieXTidusAmy: (gets on the defensive) Command-jocks. Red-jackets. Whatever you feel like calling them. They enjoy playing the 'hero,' with a big ego, to boot. All they think about is furthering their career. (straightens her jacket uncomfortably, then hands him back his hypospray)

Perrrrrfect! You, my friend, are brilliant!

nextguardian on May 24, 2011, 12:41:04 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: (gentle smile) I'm not buying it. That outlike is fine, but the way you reacted to Ensign Holmes indicates a personal dislike. It goes deeper than a stereotype, and I think you know that.

No way, nuh-uh! XD

I've got to admit, maybe I'm doubting myself too much, but I'm worried about the direction I'm giving Yuji in Mercenaries. Not so much this chapter but the next one.

YunieXTidus on May 24, 2011, 12:53:26 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: (chews on her lip) It's not a stereotype! I haven't met a single red-jacket who wasn't interested in taking advantage of my relationship with my father in some form or another.

Yaw-huh.

Well, in between writing, I'm reading it. But if you're seriously worried, you can email it to me when you're done and I'll tell you what I think.

nextguardianBashir: Ensign Holmes certainly didn't seem that way. In fact, I don't know if you've heard, but... (tells about the Bajoran incident in my pilot)

No way, no how, uh-uh.

I think it'll be apparent by the end of this chapter. I've been dying to tell you about this for a while, but I wanted to get it up first ^^ It's just, now that I've finally done it, I'm concerned. lol, low self esteem.

YunieXTidus on May 24, 2011, 1:03:16 PM

YunieXTidusAmy: Great. An Ensign- hero. (snorts) That won't go to his head at all.

Hmm... Do I need to... persuade you?

xD I feel bad, ripping on Holmes like this. I'm going to have to find a way to make it up to him somehow. I actually feel a little guilty. xDDD

Oh, no, I didn't think it was. Also- :OOOOOOOOOOO

nextguardianBashir: Oh, come now, at least get to know the man before you judge him. The first thing he did was thank me for saving his life.

Oh, you mean with comments? ^^ (Pff. Wow. Cleary, writing Yuji/Holmes stories have ruined me XD)

Ah, don't worry about it. If anyone should feel guilt, I should. Look what I've done to him.

It'll make sense a little farther in (winces). If I'm guessing correctly at what :000000 meant, then yes, I really had to think about that one before I did it --' I still feel a little off about it.

Nah..XD

Thank you :) I've never made Yuji evil before. Justified or otherwise.
Yuji will eventually be modeled after this:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ycXgJ2lDT7s (The first guy you see, in front) I want to write a fight scene like this!

YunieXTidusAmy: Red uniforms and I are like oil and water. We just don't mix.

Oh? (leans in dangerously close) Are we a bit girl-shy, hmm?

(Can I just say that teasing you is so hilarious? xD)

Other than "the girl is hot," all I can say is "ewwwwwww." xD

nextguardian on May 24, 2011, 1:34:23 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: You know, personality goes beneath the uniform. It seems a bit superficial to simply decide to dislike him. I wonder if you dislike Commander Sisko the same way.

Oh just a bit (sounding very casually nervous, lol)
Glad you're enjoying yourself XD

I meant to say 'only up until 2:25' --' But the guy with the sunglasses was who I wanted to model Yuji after in a way. You can see it in his new clothes, for example.
Which girl, btw? The blond, the one with the gun, or the one with who gets stabbed? I'm truly sorry about the grossout factor. I'm so used to that movie I didn't even think of it.

YunieXTidus on May 24, 2011, 1:38:41 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: No, well, Sisko... it isn't the same. (frowns)

xD I am, tremendously.

Yeah, he's pretty b.a. until tentacles come out his freakin mouth! xD The one with the gun! Nah, it's okay. I watch my cousin play the resident evil games all the time. It was mostly the... I assume they're supposed to be hellhounds? And the tentacle-whatevers comin' out his mouth. xD

nextguardian on May 24, 2011, 1:46:11 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: What makes Sisko different than Ensign Holmes, then?

I am too, I suppose ^^ lol.

Ah, that'll do it. I love the hellhounds, though! See, I originally pictured Naruto and Sakura taking on Yuji. Just replace The guy and the girl with the guns with those two, and Yuji with Wesker. But I don't think I'll do that, because Sakura would feel sympathy, and she would tell Naruto. So maybe Kakashi and Gai vs Yuji like that or something.

YunieXTidus on May 24, 2011, 1:52:40 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol Bashir's making ME think as much as he's making Amy!

Amy: .... Sisko doesn't have as far to climb as Holmes. Holmes is barely starting his career, and he's bound to try to take the easy way out at some point. I have no respect for people like that.

Lol I bet you are. All this attention from a member of the opposite sex! Who woulda thought? ;p

Now THAT would be a fight I'd pay money to see.

nextguardian on May 24, 2011, 12:53:23 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardian^ No, that wasn't a hint to get you to read it, btw. Just realized that had to be how it came out --' It's more like this may be out of character for Yuji.

I do: Kejal. It means 'Freedom'. For our purposes, that can mean 'freedom from dependence on the Federation for Bajor's stability', making it a politcal message as well as a name. Odo would know that word, so maybe he can coin the name.

Well, I've got to go for the night. Early morning tomorrow. Blagh. But what can you do? ttyl friend! :)

YunieXTidusAlso, just some minor (if not amusing) errors. xD

His laughter failed pretty quickly when he saw who was on the other side. - You could rephrase this as 'The smile died on his face when...' It just doesn't flow quite right. Minor, though.


Quirk seemed a little taken aback, - Quirk? xD

Turning his back on Sisko, leaving the Commander with his index finger raised and his mouth open, ready to start telling the Ferengi off, Quark faced Holmes again, a greedy grin spreading across his wide face. - This is one LONG, structurally confusing sentence. xD

So much for my quiet entry to Deep Space Nine. he mused- might want a comma after nine, instead of a period.

nextguardian on May 23, 2011, 11:27:34 AM

nextguardianI'm glad you liked it, and I'm glad it 'felt' right. The one thing I really liked was that Odo didn't like Holmes. I didn't want everyone to like Holmes, and Odo seemed likely for that role XD

Glad you're good :) Two of my buddies have been useless as of late, which means they're in for it, too.
I'm not doing so hot, come to think. Looks like no Trill spots for me at the convetion. I had 3 people lined up to make my costume- all three bailed! Then the costume pattern didn't come with instructions and fabric recommendations. So I'd imagine if I DO succeed in going Starfleet, the damned plane will crash or something -_-' Best not to tempt fate.

nextguardianHmm...(stroking chin)

Supposedly, wearing a ready-made costume is 'cheating' in the eyes of convention Trekkies (According to a Trekkie buddy of mine). The other end: Maybe I present myself as a professional instead of a fan and wind up on TV XD

YunieXTidus on May 23, 2011, 11:51:02 AM

btw- in 'Serving', did Uzume's death make sense/fit the situation, do you think?

They can tell, I'm sure. If one of them can recite 'The Naked Now' word for word... I don't know. I've got one more lead before I call it quits, I think.

YunieXTidusOh, I'll leave that to your imagination. xD

btw- RANDOMNESS! xD Yes, I think it did.

I'm trying to watch the 3rd episode of DS9, but the audio is more than half a second off. It's two or three. xD

nextguardian on May 23, 2011, 12:07:02 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, well, my imagination is pretty vivid, so...XD

I was thinking about it, and I just couldn't decide if it worked out right. I don't think I rushed it, but I'm not sure it had the effect of 'okay, the audience knows it's coming, but it'll still be surprising'.

That would drive me absolutely insane.

YunieXTidus on May 23, 2011, 12:09:33 PM

YunieXTidus on May 23, 2011, 12:15:04 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol it happens.

Well, it worked. :)

It did! I switched from my DIVX player to Windows Media Player (which I usually hate. Perfectly synced. <3

nextguardian on May 23, 2011, 12:23:35 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, good :) VLC media player usually works well, too.

I was thinking about where we could eventually go with this Bajoran terrorist group. That could lead into the episode I mentioned before about Kira and Amy on Bajor, stranded and trying to escape from within, while Sisko and Holmes try to get them out from above in a runabout. The terroists could be holding them hostage because they needed Kira for politcally leverage, and Amy to treat their wounded.

YunieXTidus on May 23, 2011, 12:26:23 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOoh, that's good! I was also thinking... how to wrap up the situation with the Odyssey while tying into your story. I'm not quite sure.

nextguardian on May 23, 2011, 12:35:29 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianFeel free to control Holmes for him and Amy to meet, btw.

If you don't mind a suggestion, I would say that having Odo conduct an investigation between the attack on the Odyseey and the runabout sabotage would tie the two stories together. Odo could then group all of the people involved together. Holmes mentions Dugan (Or 'Do Gun', if you prefer XD), and from there Odo gets his man (however related) after one more major act of sabotage.

YunieXTidus on May 23, 2011, 12:38:05 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol do you want to help me there? We could run a simulation, if you like.

Yes, input is most welcome! That's a good idea, but I've never been much good at mysteries. xDD

nextguardian on May 23, 2011, 12:48:42 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianSure. Do you want to start, or should I?

Okay, how about we eliminate the mystery. The Bajoran terrorists hail all ships in the area and threaten to destroy them if their demands are not met. That gives a name and face- Odo just has to find the operatives on the station, while the Odyssey and two runabouts fight the terrorists. Or something like that.

YunieXTidus on May 23, 2011, 12:50:50 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusTake it away, Ern! (sorry, very vague harry potter reference xD)

Hmm... That will help.

nextguardian on May 23, 2011, 12:57:39 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlmao, nice. So, how about this:
(starting from the end of my chapter)
(Bashir and Amy are in sick bay, treating Sisco and O'Brien)
Holmes: ...And that's what happened. I guess I'd better hurry up and get my command codes.
Amy: (Great, another command-track super-jock. Word is he's the one who stopped the Bajorans the first time. Bet he's got an ego the size of a ((British comparison here))
Holmes: (Sees Amy) I don't think I've met you yet. I'm Ensign Daniel Holmes (speaking formally)


I think it actually makes more sense this way. If they're brazen enough to attack a ship like the Odyssey, then they're probably not shy about their identities.

And go Bashir!

The only thing I would comment on to change is that it should be U.S.S. Odyssey. You just need that one more S in there.

Oh, was my hint transparent? XD

YunieXTidus on May 22, 2011, 2:06:47 PM

YunieXTidusOooooh, I just got to your scene. ;) ;)

What hint? ;o

nextguardian on May 22, 2011, 2:08:40 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI admit that my heart did a sort of flip-flop in my chest. lol.
I still can't believe she was in another favorite show of mine.

Oh, I don't hint.
I DEMAND!
XD

YunieXTidus on May 22, 2011, 2:13:00 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol mine did too, and I'm straight. xD Although, I think it was because Bashir was saying it. ;)

xD Don't you demand it from me.

EEEEK I love this episodeeee!

nextguardian on May 22, 2011, 2:15:40 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI think it was at that point I decided to be a secret agent XD

Whoa, where's YOUR head?! XD

It's a good one^^

YunieXTidus on May 22, 2011, 2:17:58 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD Oh? How's that working out for you?

Wait, what?

It IS! I can't believe he shot Garak.

nextguardian on May 22, 2011, 2:22:16 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardian...It's a matter of national security, and I'm not at liberty to say...

Did I misconstrue the 'XD Don't demand it from me!' comment? (Also: XD)

Lol Garak was priceless in that episode.

YunieXTidus on May 22, 2011, 2:25:03 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh, I see... I suppose I could persuade you... ;)

I think you did. xD I was referring to the story, 100%. But hey, if that's what you're into...

*sigh* Julian was so dreamy in that whole thing. That suit... mm. Although I do admit, nerdy Dax was hot.

nextguardian on May 22, 2011, 2:34:24 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardian(Gulp) See, this is why I'm a bad agent! XD

lol, okay, my mistake. Seriously, re-read your comment and see how you take it! (Don't mind me- I'm in a goofy mood tonight)

Bashir was good in that role. Really a brilliant actor. Kira made me lol. She's always stuck in these sexy roles when she acts violent most of the time.
Nerd Dax- yes, hot. Very. XD

YunieXTidus on May 22, 2011, 2:38:19 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus*straightens your tie for you, letting her fingers wander over the collar of your suitjacket* So, how's the whole secret agent thing going for you, again?

xD After watching that episode, I am too. And yes, now that I read it... that can be misconstrued. xDD

Kira was downright sinful in that nightgown. Those big, dark eyes... It's like you could just fall into them and not be found for months.

nextguardian on May 22, 2011, 2:44:02 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlmao. Just lmao. If I say take off your glasses and toss your hair...XD

Okay, let's see if you catch this one:
A female aquaintance of mine asked me 'do you believe men and women can be friends without having sex'. I raised my eyebrow a bit- it was an odd question to ask. That in mind, I shrugged and said 'Sure. You haven't slept with me yet.' She laughs and says 'Oh, well, you know, I don't consider you a threat. You're a good guy.'
She still can't figure out why I walked away shaking my head. lol. I don't know why I thought of that just now (it happened some time ago), but it made me lol.

Okay, so I am officially absolved of any wrongdoing there. Good.
XD

I was impressed that she pulled off that accent as well as she did. She's a good actress (whom I admit, I hated at first).

nextguardian on May 22, 2011, 2:44:49 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNice bit on the pilot, btw :)

YunieXTidus on May 22, 2011, 2:48:17 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus*takes off her glasses slowly, unpins her hair, then comes over and snogs you while you steal the key from her*

xD Poor you. Good guys are always left in the friend zone.

Well, I'm sure I can find SOMETHING to blame you for!

The accent was incredibly believable. My brother also does a fantastic Russian accent.

Thanks. I should have it done in an hour or so...? xD

YunieXTidus on May 22, 2011, 2:58:38 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWhat's an idea for a name for the lounge area? It obviously can't be 10-Forward, because that's on the Enterprise.

nextguardian on May 22, 2011, 2:58:37 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardian*Key is mine* Well, thank you my dear. (hero smile)

I couldn't believe that. Haven't seen that girl in years. Maybe I was more offended than I thought XD (No, different seperate ways after high school, really, but that's less dramatic)

Oh sure, please do!

She played the roll well on all counts, for sure ^^

Awesome!

YunieXTidus on May 22, 2011, 3:02:18 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus*knees go weak*

xD You poor thing.

Umm... Dern you for... for... um... Dern you for making me write this thing so damn slowly!

She played the role* well, definitely. ;)

nextguardian on May 22, 2011, 3:07:04 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardian*Undoes his cuffs* Time to go, before this place fills with lava! (Carries her all bride-like)

It's hilarious in retrospect. I should have shown her and totally hit on her! lmao.

Oh yeah, THAT is my fault! That's about the one thing you CAN'T blame me for! XD

You know, I never had a problem with spelling until recently. Now, forget it. I think it has something to do with learning a second language. I'm writing a very interesting mix of Japanese and English these days. It's probably reflected in my grammer and spelling, too.

nextguardian on May 22, 2011, 3:07:53 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI've got step out for about an hour. I'll be back in time to read that pilot! I'm too excited about it ^^

YunieXTidus on May 22, 2011, 3:11:23 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD Nice.

It is. You should have asked her if she'd ever seen 'When Harry Met Sally.' Harry answers that question.

Lol... Grammar.*

Ah, 'kay! And.. maybe I'll just call it the 'lounge area.'

nextguardian on May 22, 2011, 3:01:13 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianLounge area: Chateau Blance' or something like that, maybe?

YunieXTidusHey, sorry -I- missed you last night. I'd had a terrible day yesterday, and made a hasty retreat to my grandmother's house to avoid a mental breakdown. I'll definitely get that up when I get home! I can try to add somethig to it. Can you just draw a rough sketch so I have an idea of what you wanted?

nextguardian on May 22, 2011, 12:12:44 PM

And even if it isn't, it gives me something to go off of. ;)

nextguardian on May 22, 2011, 12:29:40 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm inclined to agree with you on my end. Things any better for you?

Well, I'll give it a shot, then :)

YunieXTidus on May 22, 2011, 12:32:00 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusMarginally. The emotions aren't as intense. And I'm definitely not on the brink of a breakdown anymore. Just... bummed. Very much so.

nextguardian on May 22, 2011, 12:36:11 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWell, I'm glad there at least some improvement. Wish things were better, though :(

If you get the chance, watch the DS9 Episode 'Our Man Bashir'- it'll make you feel better. This one scene with Dax made me feel better, but the episode is 99% Bashir.

YunieXTidus on May 22, 2011, 12:50:41 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, my friend (i've mentioned him before) has been going through some extreme depression because of stuff dealing with his ex girlfriend. Like the good friend I am, I'm there for him. But, when he gets depressed like this (over a girl, specifically) he deals with it through sex. So all day on Friday, he was soliciting me (pretty much) for sex. I was humoring him for the most part. Saving you graphic details, I basically said that if he came down this (now past) weekend or next week, I'd do it with him. (Which is no small thing. I don't take that sort of stuff lightly) Right as school was getting out, he asked me if I was home yet. I was like, "one track mind, much?" His response was, "no that was a general question. Let's just say someone else took care of me."

So, at this point, I'm pretty upset. And then when he said "sorry if you're feeling slighted, she offered." That was kind of the snapping point. How could I NOT feel slighted? I don't offer that to every single one of my guy friends going through a rough patch. I thought he knew me better than that. I would never offer something like that to someone I didn't care a great deal for. And he's confused as to why I'm mad.

nextguardian on May 22, 2011, 12:57:12 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI can't honestly think of a word to describe that sort of behavior. That's the absolute height of...well, any number of words that I really don't need to type. I don't know how you put up with it. Friend or no, I would definitely call him on that sort of behavior. That's not like lending someone a cup of sugar or something. (shakes head) That's crap, pure and simple.

YunieXTidus on May 22, 2011, 1:01:09 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI put up with it because I'm in love with the guy. xD Have you ever had such a close bond with someone that when they were feeling pain, emotional or physical, you felt it too? I thought that was just stuff in romance novels or something. But no. When I realized how deep he was hurting, it made me physically ill. My heart ached for him so badly. And me, I'm stupid. I'm the sort of person who would do anything to comfort that person of import.

But yeah. I haven't spoken to him since Friday afternoon. I'm going to see how long it takes for him to message me back with an apology of some sort.

nextguardian on May 22, 2011, 1:05:06 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat's not being stupid. That's being loyal- a concept clearly foreign to this gentleman. He is unaware that he has a quality girl right there, waiting for him. That makes him the stupid one. Your loyalty will be an asset someday, even if it seems like a curse at the moment.

Good luck. It will probably be a while. I just hope that he'll actually mean the apology. An apology spoken without conviction is no apology at all.

YunieXTidus on May 22, 2011, 1:09:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, I don't think it would matter if he knew. He's almost 10 years older than me. He's kind of ehhhhhhhh about that when it comes to dating. Friends-with-benefits, now that's okay. But a real relationship... Nah. -_-

I might end up having to explain to him why I'm upset. He's pretty dense sometimes. I'm not even sure how to start that conversation. "Hey, you were a douchebag on Friday."

nextguardian on May 22, 2011, 1:15:29 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWell, what do you want out of it? Are you fine with that situation, or are you looking for something else? It's not selfish to think that way. If your needs don't match, then that frees you up to find what you really are looking for. Be honest with yourself first, and then with him second. It's yourself to whom you owe loyalty.

lmao, that's how I would bring it up! I'm sorry, I shouldn't laugh, but that last line got me.
I would just be blunt. "You know, I offer you a favor like that and you pull this s***?"

YunieXTidus on May 22, 2011, 1:19:36 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell... If he were offering a relationship, I would go for it in a heartbeat. He's (almost) everything I wanted in a guy. Well, except for sensitivity and non-selfishness, even when he's down. But he doesn't want a relationship like that, so I'll settle for what I can get. He's my closest friend. I couldn't bear not having him in my life in one form or another.

xD I meant for it to be funny.
Yeah, that's probably what I'll have to end up doing. If he doesn't message me by Tuesday night... -_- Then he's dumb, and he's in for an earful.

Also, I'm working on my pilot. ;)

nextguardianI think a friend of mine was trying to set me up. Sweet girl, but more interested in my friend. So I quietly directed them back together. So far, so good!

I'm glad someone else gets that POV.

Are you stuck as to where to go next?

YunieXTidus on May 18, 2011, 12:49:22 PM

YunieXTidusYes. I know how I want it to end, and I have a beginning and the beginning of the middle, but I'm just stuck. -_-

nextguardian on May 18, 2011, 12:57:45 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHmm, okay. How about this:

-Amy is in her quarters, leaves for her duty shift early, meets the doctor, and they don't get along. Sort of a 'you're here becauyse the captain wants you here, so stay out of the way' dynamic.
-The 'big incident', whatever you decided it will be, comes along after the doctor is mean to Amy. She jumps in and helps.
-Big medical accident on the bridge. Amy rushes up, does her thing to save someone (maybe Executive Officer?).
-Welcome to DS9!

YunieXTidus on May 18, 2011, 12:59:46 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh, man. My poor friend. He's dealing with a very tough situation for him right now, and I was talking to him on the phone just a sec ago. Hearing him of all people on the verge of tears... xD I'll be honest with you, I'm in the middle of a mild anxiety attack. I wish there was something I could do.

nextguardian on May 18, 2011, 1:05:44 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWell, to calm yourself, breathe in through your nose for a count of three, then out through your mouth for a count of four. That should help you, personally.
As for your friend...I guess, depending on the situation, the most you can really do is be there for him.

YunieXTidus on May 18, 2011, 1:11:20 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThank you, that did help. And yeah. I'm not sure I can listen to him more tonight, but he needs me, so I'll do what I can. I haven't had an anxiety attack in at least two months. -_- not fun.

I can imagine. I'm glad everything went well for you :)

I'm hating Microsoft Access and myself for missing Body of Proof. Apparently, I missed a very nice scene with Jeri Ryan in it. --' I knew I should've watched!
Other than that, I'm doing alright, thank you ^^

YunieXTidus on May 17, 2011, 1:11:02 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusToday's episode of Glee is hilarious. Also, there's a nwe movie coming out with Justin Timberlake and Cameron Diaz that I want to see. 'Bad Teacher.' JT makes my heart race. xD Anyway!
You should take Microsoft Access out behind the house and shoot it with a grenade launcher. :) That's what I always do.

nextguardian on May 17, 2011, 1:15:45 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI hate Justin Timberlake. I want Olivia Wilde! XD (No, I don't really hate him. I'm just seething with a jealous rage XD. He just saw her first, that's all!)
Ohh, that's a good idea...
Hmm. fresh outta grenades. Just my luck. XD Nah, it's a stupid program, but I'll be done with it in 9 days!

Say, for our co-op fic, would you object to a guest star or two? I just read George Takei's book, and I worked out a scenario for 'Admiral Sulu' to show up. Plus I was thinking of having the Enterprise crew on the station at one point (That might be a good one for Amy. She could see what she's missing, maybe).

YunieXTidus on May 17, 2011, 1:22:51 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol I seethe with a jealous rage at every girl who's ever shared anything with JT... the screen, a studio... a bed? xD Mm. U-um, anyway... (cough cough)

Yes, that would be fine! I was also considering maybe after she'd been on the station long enough to make roots there, her dad would transfer her to the Enterprise, expecting her to be overjoyed and thrilled. But obviously, she isn't, because her home is on DS9.

nextguardian on May 17, 2011, 1:28:58 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, same here. Olivia was available, too. Oh well. Too bad Jeri Ryan and Terry Farrell are married. Why don't you divert Jesse Spencer so I can snag Jennifer Cameron? (Yeah, like I'd manage to even get a coherent phrase out!)

That's definitely a good storyline. We could even tease the end of the fic at that point. Or, heck, that COULD be the ending.

YunieXTidus on May 17, 2011, 1:32:38 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol you and your women.

Hey, you have a life. I'm sitting at home writing Star Trek. Tell me which one of us is doing better! lmao!

YunieXTidus on May 17, 2011, 1:57:08 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD I do my fair share of drooling. Like... Justin Timberlake. Aaaand, Alexander Siddig. *sighs dreamily* Ah, my Julian.

xD Not true! I'm just so busy with school and graduation that I have no life at all. No free time, really! At least it's an assignment now, so I have a REASON to work on it. rofl.

nextguardian on May 17, 2011, 2:04:18 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianSo we all have fantasies. I think the ironic thing for me is that I'm too immature for a relationship. But I'm mature enough to know I'm too immature? Pleh. Irony.

That's still a life! Now that work is done (thank God) for me, and school is almost done, there's really just looking for a new job. But I can't even do that until after the Star Trek convetion. Oh well, I'll live. I should probably enjoy my freetime now.

YunieXTidus on May 17, 2011, 2:06:53 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol I'm sure you're not that immature. You just know how to enjoy yourself. Lots of girls like that.

xD You can always look, and tell them you're free to work after this certain date. That's what I'm going to have to start doing here pretty soon.

nextguardian on May 17, 2011, 2:15:46 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNo, I'm pretty immature. I can't just date for fun. There's got to be the possibility of a relationship, and I'm just mentally set for that, I guess. I may be overthinking it, though. There's always that.

True. Maybe I'm putting it off because I hate making resumes. They always wind up reading so phony :(

YunieXTidus on May 18, 2011, 9:32:28 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusImmaturity has nothing to do with 'dating for fun' or not. Honestly, I think that's a great quality. There are lots of guys who just date because the possibility is there.

Why do they read phony?

So sorry about last night. I fell asleep! xD

nextguardian on May 18, 2011, 12:02:24 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI suppose you're right. There are so many different ways to categorize 'mature' or 'immature'. Bleh. I'll just go with my gut and date when it feels right.

I just hate tooting my own horn. Like "I have good skills at this and this and this, and heck, this, even though I've never done it before." It's like writing a thank you note for something you really aren't thankful for, I guess. It feels like deception.

S'okay :)

YunieXTidus on May 14, 2011, 1:58:32 PM

YunieXTidusI must admit, Jadzia was my favorite. Ezri is good in her own way, but she just can't replace Jadzia in my heart. XD I sound so mushy.

Ooh, I want to watch it!

nextguardian on May 14, 2011, 2:01:22 PM

nextguardianI have yet to actually meet Ezri. It's already pre-set I'm going to hate her at first, unfortunately. Oh well. I hated Kira at first too. Now she's hilarious! Though they must have changed writers during season four, because the episodes are laid out differently.

I'd like to be on it! XD Although I hope they don't go that route. Then it'll be come a teen drama and not be Star Trek anymore. I'd love to see Enterprise B and C more, before their destructions. Especially the destruction of C, defending Narendra 3. That would be sweet movie scene!

YunieXTidus on May 14, 2011, 2:17:42 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh, it would! I can't wait to read my book. I have to finish school first though, or I'll never get anything done! I just bought two movies and rented two others. Bought: Inception and Tron: Legacy. Rented: Tangled and Knight-and-Day. All four of them are amazing! Have you seen any of them?

nextguardian on May 14, 2011, 2:56:04 PM

One of these days, I'll beg you to do a oneshot pairing of Yuji and either Sakura or Azami or Asuna, or maybe Tenten, or Ino. Or all of the above or something.

YunieXTidus on May 13, 2011, 12:05:01 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'd be happy to do all of them! Maybe even all at once? ;) just kidding. But I'd love to. Lol.

nextguardian on May 13, 2011, 12:13:31 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI actually really liked the YujiXIno pairing. Although I'm still a Sakura or Azami man myself. Or Dax, for that matter. XD

Oh, quick question: Which 'Yuji' have you liked best so far?

-'Insane' Yuji from the co-op fic
-'Original' Yuji from 'Serving'
-'TNK' Yuji from 'Serving'
-'Goth' Yuji from Serving/Sakura's Game

YunieXTidus on May 13, 2011, 12:18:39 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, it's all yuji to me. Lol I mean, all of the different Yuji's are part of Yuji. I just take them and put them together as a collective Yuji.lol Idk if that makes sense. I guess I'm trying to say I like them all?

nextguardian on May 13, 2011, 12:27:36 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI see what you're saying. That makes sense.
Get ready for Yuji personality number five to show up. This one I hope will be more interesting than all the others combined.

YunieXTidus on May 13, 2011, 12:53:52 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAre you sure you don't have multiple personality disorder, and are taking it out on your poor characters?

nextguardian on May 13, 2011, 12:54:49 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, I'm sure. I think. Maybe.
Nah, I just like to have a Yuji for every occasion. That and my goth phase warranted a goth Yuji. :D

YunieXTidus on May 13, 2011, 1:04:07 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOkay, so you should definitely go to youtube and look up 'feeling good' by michael buble. Melts my world. xD It makes me feel awesome, too!

nextguardian on May 13, 2011, 1:05:15 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianSure, I'll take a listen. If you get a chance, watch/listen to the FMA Brotherhood Opening 2. seriously good!

YunieXTidus on May 13, 2011, 1:16:12 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYes, it is! Although most (if not all) of your music tastes that you've shared with me are Japanese. ;) What are some English bands that you're into?

nextguardian on May 13, 2011, 1:36:30 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianMy tastes are all over the place. I liked a few one hit wonders, like A Flock of Seagulls. Some offbeat stuff like The Presidents of the Unites States of America. Occasionally, Korn. Then the few odd songs by different groups. Mein Teil, The Outsider, things like that.

YunieXTidus on May 13, 2011, 1:49:29 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD Mine are, too. I like Imogen Heap, Owl City, Phoenix, Death Cab for Cutie/ The Postal Service, Michael Buble... Coldplay. Occasionally Katy Perry. Hmm. I wish I could just send you my iTunes library. xD It would be easier to explain.

nextguardian on May 13, 2011, 1:51:04 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm a fan of Collide, too. I really like video game and movie soundtracks. Resident Evil on both counts, for example. I also like Crush 40 and Zebrahead (some stuff).

YunieXTidus on May 13, 2011, 1:59:36 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYou listen to a lot of stuff that I've never heard of! xD It must be a generation thing. Or a location thing.

So, what's up atm?

nextguardian on May 13, 2011, 2:04:52 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianInfluence thing for sure. I had a lot of different cousins, all just older than me enough to be cool, and they liked music that was all over, so that's where that came from.

Not much. Just the usual stuff. Trying to relax for a bit. How about you?

YunieXTidus on May 13, 2011, 2:08:01 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusJust listening to music, waiting for my friend to get off work so he can call me. One of my absolute favorite songs of all time - I Will Follow You Into the Dark by Death Cab for Cutie. I used to listen to it at least once a day. Once I actually gain some sort of mastery over the guitar, I intend to put a cover of it on youtube. xD

Another one of my fave songs EVER... Hallelujah (originally by Leonard Cohen.) I'd have to say Imogen Heap's version of it just tears my heart out. It's such a beautiful song.

nextguardian on May 13, 2011, 2:21:27 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'll occasionally listen to some orchestra stuff. Along the lines of Star Trek themes, but even some older German stuff. And I love national anthems, too. Germany's is among the more upbeat anthems.

YunieXTidus on May 13, 2011, 2:23:18 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI like some orchestral stuff. The classics for me. Verdi, Mozart, etc etc.

nextguardian on May 13, 2011, 2:38:20 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWhat I listen to really depends on my mood, I guess. Or what I'm doing. To relax or write, it's usually J-rock/pop. For exercise, it tends to be Korn, A Perfect Circle, and the like. It all depends on what I'm up to at the time.

nextguardianThey really are cool weapons.

(Wide-eyed innocence) Nuh-uh. No idea.
Two Words:

Pulitzer. Prize.

:D

Space. The Final Frontier. These were SUPPOSED to be the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Her continuing mission: To explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life and new civilizations. To bodly go where no man has gone before.
For Ensign Amy Collins, a medical officer, that was supposed to be how it went. Instead, she was assigned to Deep Space Nine in the far reaches of the Alpha Quardrant. Her new mission: To seek out her place in this odd metallic jungle. To boldy heal the oddest ailment from the Gamma Quadrant. To throw herself at her handsome boss and shun her hardline father.
(cue high-pitched TOS voice).

YunieXTidus on May 12, 2011, 3:20:43 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus(leans over and whispers exactly what with a seductive grin)

Wait, what's this about a pulitzer prize?

xD Well, the pilot is going to be a little more action-packed than that. what with all the fighting terrorists and all. Although I love the 'handsome boss' bit. He is certainly most handsome.

nextguardian on May 12, 2011, 3:25:19 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAnd you said I had an imagination! XD

You're going to win one. Or something. Hey, originally I said 'Academy Award'.

(coughs something that sounds suspiciously like 'scrawny quack). Yeah, he's great. Then there's my elegant Jadzia...

YunieXTidus on May 12, 2011, 3:28:29 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD Oh, if you met my imagination... It's crazy.

xD For this short story? (please forgive my density. I'm not functioning properly.)

(coughs something that suspiciously sounds like 'kick your @$$ back to the Delta quadrant'). Yes, he is. Especially behind closed doors. You would not BELIEVE the things that man can do.

nextguardian on May 12, 2011, 3:34:10 PM

nextguardianCan't be any worse than mine. lol

lol, maybe I exaggerate and maybe categorize incorrectly XD

(coughs 'Just try it. I'll hide behind Dax and then you won't be able to touch me. Hahaha! Bashir is a nice guy, but man, he needs to eat like 20 cheeseburgers!) one heck of a coughing spell there. (clears throat obnoxiously)

Well, I'm off for the night. Good chatting with you!

YunieXTidus on May 13, 2011, 2:08:15 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusJadzia doesn't scare me. I'll take you down, and if Dax gets in the way then so be it.
And lmao at the cheeseburgers.

My teacher read the first two lines and was like, "hmm, now where have I heard that before?" But he liked it. XD

So, looks like I'll be finishing the pilot within the next two weeks! Lol due dates are so motivating.

nextguardian on May 13, 2011, 7:44:20 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, fair enough. But if Dax is hurt, then I'll be angry. And you...won't like me when I'm angry! XD

Ah, good. We're all Trekkies deep down; awaken his inner Trek and you're good :)
Or you could just dazzle him with the quality I've come to expect from you. Whatever works :)

They really are XD

YunieXTidus on May 13, 2011, 7:47:40 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusPssh. You're scrawnier than Bashir! You could hardly do any damage. Not that you could hurt a girl. Your gentlemanly conduct wouldn't allow it. So you're at a double disadvantage.

xD True.
D'awwwwh! That definitely made me smile.

nextguardian on May 13, 2011, 11:11:31 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBeing a gentleman sucks. you don't get the girl, and you don't smack her around in protest either! lmao, jk.

:D

YunieXTidus on May 13, 2011, 11:18:32 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, it gets you the girl sometimes. Although not as often as it should.

How are you tonight?

nextguardian on May 13, 2011, 11:25:49 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm just old fashioned. And unfortunately, most old fashioned girls that would match my personality type don't fit quite right. Me, I'd love a cute little Tsundere girl. That's realistic imho XD

Not bad. How about you?

YunieXTidus on May 13, 2011, 11:33:39 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol it works for me!

Pretty good. Just watched the ep where K'Ehlar dies. And now I'm on to Doctor Who.

nextguardianNot horribly lucky; she had just taken her top off when I woke up. It could have been better, but it could have been worse.

Thanks so much ^^ I'm glad you liked it. I think it made sense for Yuji, and for poor Miko, so I was happy with it.

I hear you! Thirteen days left for me!

YunieXTidus on May 12, 2011, 12:30:15 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol I got farther than you! xD Poor you. (patpats)

I thought it was wonderfully done.

13 school days left! But uh... who's counting, eh? Hahahahaha, I'm certainly not. >_>

nextguardian on May 12, 2011, 12:34:05 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWell, it was taking place in a hospital. Do I get points for location?

Thanks :) I can't wait for the next couple updates- Yuji starts having some interesting and slightly less miserable times.

I admit it- I totally am. I'm counting. I've been counting since the semester started. lol.

YunieXTidus on May 12, 2011, 12:37:47 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol you do get some points for that. Mine was in a bed. Although I get points for both of us being totally naked! HA!

I have to say, after I get the pilot finished, I probably won't do anything substantial until school's over. My mind is running too hard to keep up with the 'OH MY GOD WHY ARE WE STILL IN SCHOOOOOOOL' stage, so by the time I get home, I'm braindead. xD This summer, I'll probably be able to step up my game though.

nextguardian on May 12, 2011, 12:39:32 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI was tied up! Top that! XD

I've got the opposite problem. Working with Microsoft @^&$ing Access is giving me a nice mix of agita and anger, which is translating into idea after idea.

YunieXTidus on May 12, 2011, 12:42:12 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOoh, bondage. Kinky. I like it. ;) Well... he had just given me a massage! And did I mention we were BOTH fully naked?

I'd rather have that problem. xD

nextguardian on May 12, 2011, 12:45:31 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianDarn. Well, we were both winners with dreams like those, then ;)

Problem is, I've got too many. I keep getting new ones and scrapping the old ones, and then forgetting both!

YunieXTidus on May 12, 2011, 12:49:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol true enough ;)

Ah, that's fair enough. What you do is you write them down right THEN, then write the new ones down too. xD Unless you have semi-photographic memory like me. Then you can remember it all.

nextguardian on May 12, 2011, 12:52:20 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThe dream with Dax...it was so weird, though, that my 'Spock' self is standing there watching all Vulcan-like (A couple buddies of mine call me Spock once in a while because I can be darned unreadable when I want to be), while my much cooler self makes the move.

Well, I write them down. Then I expand on them, without keeping the original idea in mind. So I might get good ideas, but they're unuseable because I forget what started them. lol.

YunieXTidus on May 12, 2011, 1:26:24 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat is slightly odd. But everyone has moments like that. I've had some dreams that even WHEN I was having them, they didn't make sense. I'm in the middle of this going WTF IS GOING ON HERE?

Ah, I understand.

I can't wait to see those convention pics, with you and those trill spots. xD

nextguardian on May 12, 2011, 1:36:15 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThose are fun sometimes, too. One time, I was having Naruto dream. I was training with all of them, and (of course) was close to some romance with Sakura. Then, all of a sudden- they were all, like, seven years old, and I was babysitting them. Even in the dream, I'm going 'Wait, wait...she was 18 two seconds ago! (everyone was slightly older)'.

lol, that will be interesting. Provided my costume gets in order. I got the costume pattern a week ago- no %*(*ing instructions or fabric lists! And the guy is unreachable by email. And then two of my potential costume creators dropped out! Geez, what is this, the Kobayashi Maru of the covention set?

YunieXTidus on May 12, 2011, 1:42:02 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD Nice.

I'd say it was made out of nylon. If I were in town, I'd totally love to go fabric shopping. My mom could fit you, and I'd make her make it for you. That sounds like so much fun.

Also, I figured I'd share some of my photography with you: http://www.flickr.com/photos/62505713@N02/

Yes, there are pictures of me mixed in there. xD Anyway, lemme know what you think!

nextguardian on May 12, 2011, 1:46:45 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt was, up until I was babysitting --' THAT sucked.

It would be so much easier if I was doing TOS uniforms. Velour top and polyester pants (I just finished reading about four books- two Shatner, one Takei, one Doohan). But no, I've gotta go with the 23rd century jumpsuit!

You have some impressive work in there. That one with the footprints on the beach is really cool. That one with the church tower (I think it was a church tower; tall building, blue and yellow)- that's a nice bit of architecture.
If there was a red bikini in there anywhere, I was gonna strike a noseblood, I'm not kidding ya! XD

YunieXTidus on May 12, 2011, 1:53:09 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD fair point.

Haha well, 'cause you're lame like that.

It was actually a skyscraper, but... close? xD Lmao I wish I'd had one in there. Actually, I'll be honest, I don't own a red bikini yet. As soon as I do, I'll let you know. xDD

YunieXTidus on May 12, 2011, 1:53:23 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOkay, I have to finish the story outline for my 'short story' and have it turned in tomorrow. I was hoping you could help me out. xD
--
I. Setting

II. Characters:
A. Protagonist and a bit about him/her (got that covered)
B. Antagonist and a bit about him/her (uh?)
C. Other minor characters (also got that covered)

III. Conflict and synopsis of the story (hmm...?)

IV. Theme (What is the point of your story?) xD Idk?

VI. Tone: What mood do you want to create? (i dunno... what mood do I want to create?)

nextguardian on May 12, 2011, 2:06:08 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI guess it was like a reverse hentai game or something. I haven't actually played one, of course, despite being an otaku of good standing XD

That and I'd be damn sexy in a jumpsuit.
Pffft. Could say THAT with a straight face! XD

Ah, I see. There's a church that looks like that not far from where I live, so that's where that came from. Subconscious assosciation. Loved the seagulls, too.

Let's see...
I. Space. The final frontier.

II.
A- check. Amy!
B- Antagonist- May I suggest those Bajoran terrorists? Or did you scrap that story line?
C- checkaroonie.

III. Depends on what you're going to have your terrorists do. Synopsis:
Space. The Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Well, it was suppose to be. Then Ensign Collins got reassigned to Deep Space Nine and dropped into the lap of Dr. Julian Bashir. She could totally kick his @$$. She could beat up Worf. She could toss Sisko out an airlock and remain unapologetic. She's that good.

IV. I would say 'exploration'. That's one of those words that everyone likes. Oh, and 'Missions of Peace'. And the old Star Trek standby: IDIC. Infinite Diversity for Infinite Combinations.

VI. Tone...well, Star Trek is a paced, thought provoking series. I tend to think of it as kind of a sedate, continuing saga, peppered with action and tasteful romance. How you would make that 'mood' I don't know.

YunieXTidus on May 12, 2011, 2:17:53 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOoh! I just looked through that album again and you're right! It was a church. -_- my bad.

Hey, I bet you would! ;) I love me a man in uniform. Or... out of it. ;)

No I didn't! I think it works. And lmao at 'checkaroonie.'

Well, I haven't even decided. xD I mean, they're going to try to attack DS9, but the Odyssey will intercept the shot and mayhem will ensue. I could also have 'personal conflict' be how everyone sees her as the 'admiral's daughter' instead of Ensign Collins. Just rofl at that whole synopsis. Although I think she'd feel guilty for tossing Sisko out the airlock... unless he provoked her.

Well, it's supposed to be a short story, so I'm not sure if that will work. I'll find out tomorrow, I suppose! xD

Lol I'll figure it out. It's a rough draft for the rough draft. So anything goes, really, as long as it's filled out. You've helped a lot. Brb, I'm filling out the outline!

nextguardian on May 12, 2011, 2:29:59 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt happens. It could have gone either way, because now that I think about it, there's also a skyscraper that looks like that around here XD

I found out that you can actually get a ST II:WoK starfleet jacket for regular use. The dork in me is going bananas at that. Oh, and the news that they invented an animatronic, interactive tribble.

:D

oh, that's a good one. The personal conflict part. I coudl see a teacher eating that one up.
Feel free to use that synopsis, btw XD

Do you know what sort of thing the teacher is looking for. Is it supposed to be some 'human nature' observation. Like 'Everyone has a mission'?

Glad to be of service :)

YunieXTidus on May 12, 2011, 2:38:34 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHaha, well that's a good point.

xD NERD. My brother bought a zip up hoodie that when it's zipped up, it looks like a palm, but when you unzip it, it's the vulcan 'live long and prosper' hand sign. xD It's so cool. He freaked out when he showed it to us. He's like "guys guys look. It's a palm, right?" (unzip) "look look look!" He's so cute.

I'm feeling free. xD

Yes. "even if it's just to get a glass of water, give every character something they're striving for."

I know better ways one could be of service ;) xD

I just realized that in my DS9 chapter I made a mistake (soon to be corrected). Calling the Rio Grande, Hudson, etc 'Runabout Class' Vessels is a mistake. That's just an informal name. If you mention the class, the correct term is 'Danube class'. I just realized that --'

Hope you're doing well tonight! I'll be around later.

YunieXTidus on May 11, 2011, 1:03:01 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHey, I'm here! Ah, it happens. I just realized the other day that the 'incident' that caused Amy to switch career tracks couldn't have occured only 2 months before she was supposed to join the crew of the Enterprise. She would have had to have been in medical school all that time. xD

nextguardian on May 11, 2011, 4:32:33 PM

nextguardianHmm...well, since I don't know what the incident is (and don't tell me; I want to be surprised!), I can only offer a couple ideas.
The first would mean altering the timeline. Perhaps you could note that Amy's discontent with her father's interference is not a new thing- maybe he pulled some strings to get her into Starfleet Academy a semester or two earlier, for example.
The second is that you could always have her be a cadet on a training mission when whatever it is happens.

Oh my God, I had THE hokiest (and yet, strangely almost satisfying) dream. 'I' was on DS9, as my character. But at the same time, I was myself, watching the whole thing from a cameraman's perspective. The 'camera' me was wearing the old uniforms- the ones that started with ST2: Wrath of Khan, I believe. (this was before my mini movie marathon, so it's not recent. This was before I knew you were an ST fan).
So, apparently all this crap has happened, and now Holmes his going in for his big scene- the hero's kiss with Dax. We go to the deserted upper level of the promenade at about 4 am earth time (my 'camera' self has his hands behind his back, watching Spock-like). Now the ridiculous part- with the setting perfect, complete with stars in the background, we move in for the kiss. Holmes reaches up- ridiculously, as apparently Dax is near eight feet tall in this installement, on his tiptoes and hugs her. He is about face level with her chest, standing normally. He makes his move and snakes his arm around her waist and upper back. She is shocked for a moment, yes, but recovers quickly and indulges the young ensign (my camera self nods grimly, apparently pleased) by returning the embrace. They go in for the kiss. We are just centimeters away from the most epic kiss evah! And then, mirroring my real life self's incredible sense of timing-
Time to wake up.
...

I sit up, now wearing my sleepwear, and not attired in a starfleet uniform, not kissing Dax, not doing anything but trying to feel, in vain, for a Starfleet uniform, either DS9 jumpsuit or red jacket. No dice.
I am now awake, and all I can think of is how much life sucks.

lol, it was so hokey, though! The 'starlight kiss', where the battered young hero finally touches the unreachable goddess. lmao, it's so lame!

YunieXTidusLol I thought it was cute in a strange way. xD we all have those dreams.

Also, I have a short story assignment in English. i think I'm going to make it be my DS9 pilot. xD once I finish it that is.

ALSO, yay! I'll read that in a bit!

How are you this evening?

nextguardian on May 12, 2011, 11:09:01 AM

nextguardianBut what the hell, waking up before the big kiss? And who knows where that could have gone! XD

Cool!

Enjoy :)

I'm not too bad; how about you?

YunieXTidus on May 12, 2011, 11:51:01 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI've had that happen to me. xD We were JUST getting to the good part. He threw me down on the bed and POOF I woke up. I was so sad.

I know right?

Off to read it now!

Pretty good. I'm filling out graduation announcements. But I have to wait for my grandmother and my dad to send more addresses.

nextguardianBashir: (reaches for her foot)

Holmes: Good question. The Commander keeps his cards tight to his chest. I was on a repair crew today. Good God, the Chief had us running diagnostics in upper pylon 3. I was bored stupid.

Kira: My day? Well, let's see...Kai Winn showed up to speak to Commander Sisko. Then she was trying to convince me that she really is leading the Bajoran people in the way the Prophets wish. (Shakes head) Hateful woman, Eminence or no.

The fool. Even I know better than that! XD There are better, more tactful ways of ending a line of questioning.

YunieXTidus on May 8, 2011, 3:44:19 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: (gives him the death glare) You move that hand one more nanometer toward my foot, and you may just lose it.

Dax: Now that's a dull day, if I've ever heard one.

Odo: (stiffly) That woman... (shifts in his seat) She ruffles my feathers the wrong way.

And it doesn't help that I'm feeling extra hormonal tonight, so I'm EXTRA pissed. -_- And it isn't just that. It was the entire conversation (that was going fine) leading up to that. Just ugh. I'm very angry. He might be getting the phone version of the cold shoulder from me tomorrow... and tuesday. And maybe wednesday too if he doesn't at least try to make it up to me. I know that sounds vindictive, but... xD

nextguardian on May 8, 2011, 3:51:31 PM

nextguardianBashir: Oh, we don't like our feet touched, do we? (playful tone; hand backs off)

Holmes: You're not kidding. And best of all, the universal translator was jammed due to some interference, so you had a human, a Bolian, and a Vulcan all trying to communicate, with very little success.

Kira: You're telling me! I'm trying hard to trust the Prophets, but this is one hell of a test they're putting us through. (looks slightly miserable)

(Holmes nudged Odo, then puts an arm around Dax, nodding his head toward Kira)

I can see where you're coming from. I don't blame you. A buddy of mine has gone ignored for...ah, it's been two weeks already? time flies when you're exacting sweet revenge :D

YunieXTidus on May 8, 2011, 3:59:21 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: Unless we are getting a firm foot massage, or the other party has a death wish... (only semi-playful tone)

Dax: That sounds like the intro to a joke. "A human, a Bolian, and a Vulcan,..." (teasing tone) You could go on the road with that, Daniel.

Odo: (looks frightened for a moment, then gently puts his arm around her, patting her shoulder sympathetically) It must be hard. I'm sure everything will work out for the best, somehow.

Lol it isn't quite so easy for me. He's one of the people I talk to on an hour to hour basis. ALthough, if I don't start the conversation, there really isn't much of one. Another thing I don't like about him. I want the person I'm talking to to be as interested in me as I am in them (even if it's just a friend). Is that really too much to ask? I mean, sure, he's busy, and sure, he has a job, but he could spare fifteen seconds to send me a text every now and then, you know? And he picks and chooses which 'conversation prompt' to respond to. I'll send him one thing, then something else will strike me an hour later, and I'll send that one too. He'll respond to the second one but not the first. That actually happens in the middle of conversations with him. It's like, uh do you pick and choose what to respond to in a face-to-face conversation? Only if you're an @$$. That isn't how it's supposed to work.

nextguardian on May 8, 2011, 4:09:01 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: We are going to avoid the feet, then, since this position makes a good massage difficult.

Holmes: Hey, you're right. Let's see...a Bolian, a Vulcan, and Human walk into a bar...

Kira: (Leans on Odo's shoulder) Thanks, Odo. You always make me feel better.

That's really not corteous on his end. I have a friend that does that, too. I usually have to insult him to get him to pay attention. Clown.

Hey, no problem. I don't mind listening/reading :)

YunieXTidus on May 8, 2011, 4:14:44 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: It really does. (bites his ear)

Dax: (laughs) I think you're forgetting the important part of the joke, Daniel.

Odo: (looks lost) I... I do what I can.

I kinda got used to it, but our most recent conversation brought up my old irritation of it. And he's trying to get into my pants, too. He isn't doing a very good job of it. xD

So yeah. He's going to be hearing decidedly less of me over the next few days. Although he probably won't even notice, because he's studying for finals. Well, that didn't really stop him replying before... Ugh. Idk. I'm just very pissed off. xD

nextguardian on May 8, 2011, 4:25:45 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: That, and I have no wish to die. Although right now, I could die happy!

Holmes: Oh? What part is that?

Kira: (Notices his discomfort, but chalks it up to his usual standoffish routinue) Did you bust anyone good today? If not, feel free to get Quark after we get our food.

You could gently remind him the only pants he'll be sliding off are his if he doesn't shape up, I suppose. That might get his attention. If he doesn't notice, then I would keep the cold shoulder going, because even the most dense human being will eventually figure out they're being snubbed.

YunieXTidus on May 8, 2011, 4:32:43 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: Wait to say that until it's over. I'd be pretty ticked if either of us died now.

Dax: The rest of the joke, dear.

Odo: This idiot trying to steal some clothes from the tailor's next door. He didn't notice me watching him until the cuffs were on.

Lol he just texted me 'you stopped talking fast'. I wanted to reply, 'well that's the general rule for sleeping,' but it would have given me away.

nextguardian on May 8, 2011, 4:38:58 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir:It would be pretty discourteous of me to die now, I suppose. (runs a hand down her chest) And it would be a damned shame, too

Holmes: I'm working on it. Comedy takes time- much like romance. (Suggestive hint)

Kira: These idiots never learn, do they? (Shakes head)

lol. Good idea, but you get bonus points for keeping your cool and not saying it XD

YunieXTidus on May 8, 2011, 4:43:47 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: (shivers, watching his hand) A damn shame, indeed.

Dax: (elbows him playfully) The best of times, though.

Odo: if they did, I'd be out of a job.

Took him less time to notice than I expected. I don't think he even knows he did something wrong.

nextguardian on May 8, 2011, 4:48:59 PM

nextguardianBashir: (tickles her under the chin)

Holmes: Oh,indeed. Once you 'pushed me into the deep end' so to speak. (shared smile moment)

Kira: True. It would get way too lonely around here without you, you know?

Probably not. The one who makes the mistake is usually the last to catch on.

Well, I've got to be going. The one-two punch of the day of work from hell and the day of homework from hell is about to put me down. Have a good night. Hope things get better for you!

YunieXTidusAmy: (gives him a wtf look)

Dax: (laughs) Well, if I hadn't, I doubt you would have even gotten your feet wet.

Odo: Really? I didn't think of it that way.

Well, I can't really stay mad at him. -_-' especially when he's too dense to know when he's erred.

nextguardian on May 9, 2011, 11:46:43 AM

nextguardianBashir: (presses a pressure point under her chin) That's why. That should make this feel even better...

Holmes: True enough. I guess I needed 'permission' or something to go past...uh, well, you can't even call my previous position 'first base', can you? You basically forced me to steal home (laughs)

Kira: You're about the only part of this station that I think of fondly, even back when it was under Cardassian control.

My friend is the same way. Except I'm ticked enough to not say anything to him for a month. This might sound slightly...girlfriend-ish of me, I suppose, but I HATE being someone's 'backup plan'.

YunieXTidus on May 9, 2011, 11:56:16 AM

YunieXTidusAmy: Mmmm.... I see.

Dax: that would probably be 'in the stands.' (Laughs)

Ooh, I can totally relate, girl. Lol

Holmes: That's about right (laughs). I see that Commander Sisko has been talking baseball with you, too.

Holmes: It is. Remind me to show you a hockey game one of these days. It's another extinct earth game that you might enjoy. The players behave...well, like drunk Klingons.

Kira: That's good to know, Odo. (chuckles)

Miserable. Microsoft bleeping Access again!

Nice! Once I'm done with my work, I'm set to watch Star Treks I-IV.

Nice!

Holmes: (Sitting in Quark's on the top level) Take it easy, Odo. I know you don't need to technically, but take a few deep breaths. And remember- she already likes you. This is just making it formal.

Holmes: Thank you. Here, let me...(pulls her chair out, giving Odo a meaningful glance)

Kira: (a little surprised) Well, thank you, Odo! And look at you! All dressed up for the occasion! I'm impressed!

Quark: Well, well, Odo! Since you haven't accused me of any wrongdoing, you must be here with the Major. What can I get you lovebirds? (looks far too interested)

Sorry I wasn't around tonight. Work ran incredibly, stupidly late -_-' Again. Thankfully, tomorrow is my last day, and then I'm done until August. Thank God!

Are you going to -(snickers) chew your own food, too? (looks to Odo) Those of you that eat, of course. Ah well, I suppose not every culture has as strong a male population as the Ferengi

Quark: Well, you know me, Odo. Latinum is always to my taste! But you know, it really is distasteful to accuse an innocent Ferengi businessman of any wrong doing...

Holmes: I've got it, Constable. (slips a few strips of latinum to Quark) Jadzia will just win that back anyway, either at Tango or Jomdot.

Kira: (laughs) You're a pirate, Dax. (To Odo) So, are you going to eat tonight?

Holmes: How can you sleep at night, fleecing those 'innocent Ferengi Businessmen'? (Smiles proudly)


No worries; it happens. I was wondering if I could trouble you for some feedback about that last updated I did for 'mercenaries'. Now I'm sitting here going 'dkhjdfk! He cracked too quickly! There was no build-up!' Which was part of the point. It was supposed to seem absolutely devastating to both Yuji and Azami, so that I couldn't have either one lose or win the little game they've been playing. Did it work that way?

YunieXTidus on May 8, 2011, 1:43:27 PM

YunieXTidusAmy: (runs her fingers down his back firmly) These hands?

Dax: (smiles privately at Daniel)

Odo: (to Dan) Well, technically, I don't sleep... Oh, I see. Humanoid humor. (To Kira) I think I shall, but I don't do it all that often. I'm afraid I'm going to need some pointers. (Gives Dan a 'am I doing this right' look)

It was a bit sudden, yes. It jumped from 'I still have enough fight' at the store, to 'kill me and end it.' If you insert a liiitle bit more building up in between those, it would be absolutely perfect.

nextguardian on May 8, 2011, 1:55:27 PM

nextguardianBashir: Those very hands (holds one of them)

Kira: Well, you could always try what I'm having: Hasperat. It's really good, and a bit spicy.

Holmes: (nods to Odo with a small grin) I think I'll go Vulcan tonight. Theris-masu and Kreila. How about you, Jadzia?

The second I posted it, I was beating myself up. It's too late to take it back now, so oh well. I was so intent on his breakdown I left out the important part.

YunieXTidus on May 8, 2011, 2:51:18 PM

YunieXTidusAmy: (gently bites his index finger)

Dax: You know, I think I'll have that, too, Daniel. That sounds pretty good.

Odo: Well, alright, I'll try that.

Well, it isn't too late! You could go back and put it in there. Just send a notice to whoever commented on it (other than me) and tell them that it's updated.

nextguardian on May 8, 2011, 2:55:57 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: (Playfully tugs the finger into her cheek, pulling gently)

Kira: You won't regret it, Odo. Maybe I'll try some of that Theris-masu tea myself. I love my Bajoran tea, but I'd like to try something else.

Holmes: I think I'll try one of those 'black holes' that you introduced me to. Synthehol or not, it's darned tasty!

Maybe I'll go back and revise the whole thing one of these days. I should have pleny of time to work on it, since Andr28a won't be updating his end of the Co-op fic anytime soon. Writer's block sucks.

YunieXTidus on May 8, 2011, 3:05:13 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: (giggles, then cups that finger with her tongue)

Dax: (teasingly) Only if you share.

Odo: (draws a blank on things to say, tosses a 'help me' glance to Dan)

Yes, it does. xD I have not been struck by lightning on my naruto fic. -_-

Also, question. When a guy says 'you ask too many questions,' does it mean that he's embarrassed about the answer, or that I'm actually bothering him?

(pulls out an electric blue, lower-mid-thigh length sleeveless dress with a moderate, but flattering neckline) How about this? Not too dressy, but certainly several steps up from pants and a blouse.

Odo: Well, I pull her seat back for her, of course.

xD I've done that a couple times. 'chumps.' Rofl.

You know, Rom was in an episode of TNG, as a different ferengi. It was the episode where Picard met Vasch(sp), and he was her partner who wanted the disk. I'm preeeetty sure that was him.

Amy: Hoho, concerned for my safety, are you?

nextguardian on May 5, 2011, 3:32:59 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: Concerned about where I'll be if I break you (grins mischieviously)

Kira: Well, I guess you're the expert. Okay, I'll wear that. Let me guess: Makeup next?

Holmes: Good. I see that observing has done wonders for you. Okay, the food comes, and Quark is giving you crap. What do you do?

It's subtle, yet effective :) Meet my friends, and you'll be calling them chumps, too XD

Oh, now that you mention it, I think you're right. That was a great episode, too!

YunieXTidus on May 5, 2011, 3:39:14 PM

YunieXTidusAmy: In the dog house, for sure. Who'd get a doctor for the Doctor?

Dax: Yep. Sit. We're not going for anything overly dramatic, but just a little bit of color. (puts just a little bit of light brown eyeshadow, and dabs some blush on her cheeks, then smooths it out with her fingers) There. Now, before you get changed, wet your hair down a bit and... Well, just wet your hair down. We'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Odo: Threaten to turn him in for the duridium shipment he got a cut of last week?

xD Well, let me meet them, then I'll let you know.

It was! Picard's such a stud. Well, of course he is, he's the ship's captain.

nextguardian on May 5, 2011, 3:42:32 PM

nextguardianBashir: Not to mention the guilt I'd feel. Though I'm pretty sure you're more durable than that.

Kira: (Obeys her) Dax, you're pretty, so it works for you. I look like a...well, a boy in drag, for God's sake! By the prophets, what the hell am I doing?!

Holmes: Okay, well, not normally, no, we wouldn't do that to impress a lady. But, this IS Kira...no, no, Jadzia will be there, too, and she might object. No, in this case, we politely tell him we'll increase his tip if he goes away. If that doesn't work, then I keep Jadzia occupied while you put him in the brig.

I don't know if I'd want to expose you to those toxic idiots, lol.

I don't know. I think Riker got more tail. Not sure how until season 3, when he stopped being so uptight.

YunieXTidus on May 5, 2011, 3:46:46 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: I'm deceptively sturdy.

Dax: Kira, don't say that. You're beautiful! Your only problem is your lack of experience in these things. But that's why I'm here. Look at you. Odo's gonna have a heart attack when he sees you.

Odo: I see, I see. (making mental notes)

xD I'm sure I have some friends who could rival them.

Well, Riker... he's a player. Picard landed some pretty ladies, though. Most of them quite a bit younger than him.

nextguardian on May 5, 2011, 3:51:45 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: Thank God for that!

Kira: (Grudgingly) Okay, okay. But still...he doesn't have a heart. I can't imagine that he's really attracted to me...

Holmes: Yes, we should refrain from violence. Okay, so Kira is having a good time. She starts to get a little upset because she's talking about her time in the Resistance. What do you do?

No doubt. My idiot group would probably hit on them -_-'

I admit, I would root for Picard every time, too. And Geordi, for that matter. Poor Geordi.

YunieXTidus on May 5, 2011, 3:56:30 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: do you always talk this much when you're 'with' a woman?

Dax: just because he doesn't have a corporeal heart doesn't mean he doesn't have the figurative one. Trust me, Kira. You should see the way he looks at you.

Odo: I... change the subject?

XD well everybody's happy, then.

Even Data gets more love than Geordi. xD

nextguardian on May 5, 2011, 4:00:03 PM

nextguardianBashir: Sure. It assures me that they're still conscious. If they don't respond, then I've bored them to death.

Kira: (has followed Dax's instructions) I'll trust you on this. (Thinks) Hmm...Dax, tell me something...how did you and Holmes...you know...hook up. I mean, if it comes to that, how do I...approach it?

Holmes: Yep. But make sure you say something to the effect of "It must have been difficult for you, Kira. But it made you into such a strong person..." See, the compliment will make her smile, and then she'll likely change the subject herself, to try to stay happy.

lol, I suppose so.

True, and it was with Tasha, who is certainly hot in her own right.

YunieXTidus on May 5, 2011, 4:05:21 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: wow, so you can bore people to death in the bedroom? I'm certainly not bored.
Dax: (surprised cough) Well, we have Amy and Julian to partly thank for that. But really, I dragged him to my room and after he got over his shyness, the clothes came off pretty quickly.

Odo: I see. (Mental notes again)

XD she was, wasn't she?

nextguardian on May 5, 2011, 4:10:39 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: (Smiles) Well, I've only done this before once or twice...(chuckles)

Kira: I'm not shocked you took charge. Do you think..that's what Odo will need? Me to just...take charge?

Holmes: Okay, good. Now, the date is over. Jadzia and I are gone; you and Kira are alone. She doesn't seem to want to say good night and leave. SO what do you do next?

She's underrated imho. I actually think she was a better tactical officer than Worf. Worf was a great character, don't get me wrong. But Tasha was just awesome. I think you could do more with a female security chief storyline wise. Worf would have made sense anywhere.

YunieXTidus on May 5, 2011, 9:32:09 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: Is that so? (Interested)

Dax: well, possibly, but Odo isn't quite like Daniel. He may need a bit of prompting, though.

Odo: Hrm....

YunieXTidus on May 5, 2011, 9:32:53 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYes, I loved tasha!

nextguardianBashir: Despite my rep as a romeo, I don't generally hop into bed with the first available girl. They have to be special (Switches position). And you, Amy Collins, are special.

Kira: Alright, I can do this. I can do this. I'm going to follow your lead the whole time, Dax, so I'm counting on you.

Holmes: You've known her for years, so I would seriously consider sealing the deal at least with a kiss. But if she's looking to go farther, it would both do you some good. It did wonders for me. My work efficiency has been up 25% since Dax and I got serious. (A slight lie, but it's for the greater good)

SHe was so funny. She reminds me of Major Kira a bit. Both grew up fighting, both are violent (lol), and they even look a like to some degree with a compact build and short hair. And they both love the odd ball. The android or the shapeshifter.

YunieXTidus on May 6, 2011, 5:07:57 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat whole thing made me lol in class. XD

Amy: I don't... really make a habit of this either. So that really means a lot, Julian. (passionately kisses him)

Dax: what about when we all head home? You gonna go in for the kiss?

Odo: Further? On the first date? Does the Major... I mean, Kira move that quickly?

nextguardian on May 6, 2011, 11:23:34 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm glad to hear that XD

Bashir: I never once thought you were that type of girl. You've got a wholesomeness about you, even now.

Kira: It had crossed my mind...maybe more, if Odo is up for it...(looks to Dax for approval)

Holmes: well, keep in mind that I worshipped Dax from afar for a while, and she saw I needed a little help getting to the next stage. You and I may be the same there. If you feel it, go for it. If she does, she'll say so. Either way, you two know each other so well there's no way you'll miscommunicate on that.

YunieXTidus on May 6, 2011, 11:29:35 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus(haha lies! He DID remember? that extra I showed you? ;) )

Amy: Well, you did once, but that was a simple misunderstanding. Well, a complicated one, but one easily rectified.

Dax: Well, you've known each other for a while. If he doesn't seem opposed to it, I say lead him in gently, but swiftly. That's what I had to do for Daniel.

Odo: I... see. What if she decides she isn't interested in me, after all? I don't think I could bear the humiliation.

nextguardian on May 6, 2011, 11:39:31 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardian(Oh, yeah. Duh, because I was working on a follow-up to that last night -_-')

Bashir: Well, you know what I mean. I didn't think you went for every guy you ever found attractive. Are you comfortable that way, or should we shift around a bit...

Kira: Right. So coax him, then make a big move. Maybe it would help if you told me details about how you got Ensign Holmes to do...that.

Holmes: Major Kira is a lot of things, but 'mean' is not one of them. If she doesn't think it'll work, she'll be quick and quiet about it, and not a thing will have changed between you two. She's a good person, and so are you, so there shouldn't be any vindictive mishaps.

YunieXTidus on May 6, 2011, 11:54:57 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHey, it happens. xD I love how talkative they both are when they're QUITE busy.

Amy: Mmm... I think you'll find that once you get down to it, I'm pretty easy to please. Whatever works for you works for me.

Dax: Well, to be perfectly honest, I dragged him back to my quarters. I sat on the bed, and he started some playful banter. I made him come over and sit by me, and when he hugged me I took his jacket off. The rest just sort of fell into place after that. But just... do what feels right for the two of you. What worked for Daniel and me may not 'fit' for the two of you.

Odo: Yes, yes, you're right. (paces around restlessly) Is it natural to feel such... anxiety?

nextguardian on May 6, 2011, 12:01:31 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, really. It's funny, but I'd imagine it comes from them being medical personell and talking in the middle of high stress situations. Or something. XD

Bashir: Really now? No requests at all?

Kira: They really are alike, though. But you're right. We'll have to wing it. Odo seems to like me when I'm just 'Major Kira'. So maybe that's the role to play...
Dax, what are you wearing tonight?

Holmes: More than natural. It's healthy. And it certainly means you really like her.
Okay, so now we come to this: What to wear tonight? God knows they're going to be decked out, and we've got to look like we belong with them. I plan on keeping it simple: dark dress pants, white collared shirt. What are you thinking about

YunieXTidus on May 6, 2011, 12:33:40 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusPersonnel*, but i'm sure that's it. xD

Amy: Well... (whispers a vivid description, then flashes him a crooked smile) Think you can manage that?

Dax: Well, I was thinking about this little black number I'd been saving.

Odo: You mean, this... (looks down at his uniform)...wouldn't be acceptable?

nextguardian on May 6, 2011, 12:38:01 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIf you can talk while performing surgery, then I'd imagine you can talk while doing...that. XD

Bashir: (Obeys her orders to the letter) now THAT is a complex little number! I like it!

Kira: Mmm...okay. Knowing Odo, he'll show up in uniform.

Holmes: You know, that's what I thought, too. In a guy's case, it's not what you wear so much as you took the time wear something different. It makes your date feel special. Now, I've got to pick up my clothes from Garak's. I'd imagine you'll do your shapeshift thing?
(Taps at Odo's computer)
Here, make this (tan pants, white shirt, and a light vest). I'll be right back.

YunieXTidus on May 6, 2011, 1:31:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD Well, why would you WANT to?

Amy: Glad I could help.

Dax: Hopefully Daniel will be a better influence than that.

Odo: (shifts into what Daniel showed him, then sits on his office chair and fidgets nervously, drumming his fingers on the desk)

Odo: (looks shocked, then shifts uncomfortably) What gave you that idea?

nextguardian on May 5, 2011, 12:24:14 PM

nextguardianOh, absolutely it was ^^

Bashir: Well, nothing that can't wait until three or four...or five hour from now.

Kira: Odo? In love with me? Are you out of all eight of your minds, Dax?!

Holmes: It's obvious to everyone but you and Kira. You aren't normally so transparent; this time, though... You know, you should give her a shot. Seriously. I think she'd be quick to take you up on it.

YunieXTidus on May 5, 2011, 12:39:50 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: (giggles, stripping off the last of her uniform) Five hours, hmm? Like to take your time, do you?

Dax: Well, that isn't outside the realm of possibility, but that has nothing to do with the facts. Really, it's obvious to everyone but you. I'm not even sure Odo is aware of it, himself.

Odo: Why would you think that? the Major could have her pick of men on this station. Why should she choose a shapeshifter?

nextguardian on May 5, 2011, 1:20:41 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: Oh, I just think that it'll be a while before we're both satisfied.

Kira: Odo? And me? Oh, come on, I wouldn't know how to go about finding out if what you said was true or not!

Holmes: Let me ask you something: Whenever she has a spare minute, a problem, or is feeling lonely herself, who does she go to first? You, Odo. Tell you what- if you go out with her, I'll come with you. I've got a date of my own- we'll help you break the ice.

Here's the little episode bit I promised:

Dax liked the gamma shift. It was so calm and peaceful compared to the hectic day shift hours. The pleasant, quiet hums of machinery and computers working had the effect of a technological waterfall sound. It was sort of like a Zen thing in the steel confines of the space station.

With the lights dimmed in time with the earth clock that they had all grown accustomed to, the subtle blues, reds, and greens coming from the various consoles matched the overall relaxed feeling of the station.

OPS was quiet this time of night, empty of Bajoran and Starfleet personnel alike, save for a skeleton maintenance crew that Chief O’Brien on duty around the clock for the eventual breakdown of some piece of equipment. This Cardassian - built space station wasn’t in the best of shape, thanks to its former occupants trashing its before they left.

Dax had just started to close her eyes and exhale when the sound of the turbolift reached her ears. She turned from her station to see who was coming at such a late hour. She was surprised to see Ensign Holmes stepping off the turbolift.

“Good evening, Daniel,” Dax commented amiably, offering a smile of greeting. “What brings you here? Aren’t you off duty?”

For a moment, Holmes considered telling her the real reason he’d come. For some reason, even though he was new here, he felt like he could trust these people. Here he was thinking of telling Dax, whom he’d only known for short while, one of his greatest secrets. He was tempted, yes, but he wasn’t quite ready to tell her just what was going on.
“I guess I’ve got a bit of insomnia, so I thought I’d catch up on some work. If you’re really relishing your quiet time, I can take it with me back to my quarters. Although Bashir would have a fit.”

Dax cocked her head, a question in her tone of voice. “Julian? Why would he mind?”

Holmes tried to make sure that he was sounding believable. He wasn’t entirely lying, he convinced himself as he said:
“If you have insomnia, you aren’t supposed to stay where your bed is. It’s some psychological thing,” he told her, waving a hand in the air to convey he didn’t understand the subtleties.

“Oh, that’s right. It’s a way to train your mind that when you see your bed, it’s time to go to sleep. That way you don’t associate any other thoughts with your bed.”

“Yeah, that was it. Let me guess -” Holmes grinned, deciding to try his hand at playful joking,“ Curzon was a sleepwalker?”

Jadzia gave him a friendly smile, enjoying the banter. “No, actually it was Tobin. He knew his way around an engine room, but when it came to girls… God, he used to get so nervous that when one paid attention to him he couldn’t sleep or even eat if he had any feeling toward her at all.”

Holmes actually stopped dead. That sounded so much like himself. He would be a fool to let this opportunity go by without taking advantage of it. How often could you ask a girl what she liked without really asking her?

“Oh, really? And what do you, as Jadzia, think of that? I mean, is it different for you? Well, obviously it’s different, since you’re a female, but -”

Dax felt herself smiling again. It was good to reminisce sometimes. But even more than that, she had a feeling that this question was really important to Holmes.
“Well, I suppose that Jadzia would have empathy for somebody like Tobin.”

Dax had the distinct feeling that Holmes was very much like Tobin. A little more refined and with a different brand of intelligence, but the anxiety… That was the same. She wouldn’t have picked it out if she had lived through it herself in a manner of speaking.
I can’t help him unless he asks. Or maybe that’s why he’s here. I’ve never been a doctor, but I can see that he’s got something going on with him right now. Maybe he just needs company? I’ll have to ask Julian tomorrow.
Dax wouldn’t have objected to the company of the young ensign anyway. He was a genuinely good hearted man in as he had said himself he wasn’t in it for the awards or the fame.
“How about a drink?” Jadzia asked.

Dan felt some self blushing in spite of himself. He wondered if her question was one of those situations where he was supposed to read between the lines. How the hell was he supposed to know? He and Tobin, apparently were two peas in a pod in that what they knew about women could be described on the head of a self-sealing stem bolt.
Then again, what did he care how she meant that? Whether she was being friendly or hinting it something else, Dan knew he would enjoy her company. So why split hairs and risk alienating her?
He was closer to the replicator, so he walked the short distance over, then glanced back toward Dax.

“What would you like?”

“Well, I’m on duty, so…raktajino.”

Holmes nodded approvingly. Being the straight arrow he was, he would have lowered his opinion of Dax if she had wanted synthehol. So he ordered a raktajino for her, and one for himself, too, since he’d been pledging to try that drink (since just now finding out that she liked it).

“Here you go.”
Holmes set her drink down on one of the workstations nearby. He chose a chair that was close enough for conversation, but far enough away to give her privacy, if she so desired. If not, well, he could move closer. She hadn’t seemed to be doing anything in particular when he’d come in, except relaxing. That very fact made him feel guilty for lying.

YunieXTidus on May 5, 2011, 1:33:09 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: Quite right, too. I have quite the stamina; are you sure you can keep up?

Dax: Just watch the way he interacts with you more carefully. All the signs are there. Why don't you ask him out for a drink? I'm absolutely positive he'd be more than willing.

Odo: (mulls this over) I... I don't know. I wouldn't even know how to approach her.

ACK I LOVE IT! This is so wonderfully set up. It also makes me feel bad for taking SO LONG on my pilot. xD I'm sorryyyy! ;_;

nextguardianBashir: we'll just see. I keep with a good diet and exercise regimen so I think (slips off his swimsuit) I'll be fine.

Kira: Oh, well...if you come with me, I will!

Holmes: Relax, Odo. Let me and my date help you out. In earth tradition, that would make me a 'wingman', I guess.

Thanks so much ^^ I'm glad you like it. And no worries. Like I said, take your time and be satisified with what you end up with.

YunieXTidus on May 5, 2011, 2:03:36 PM

YunieXTidusxD If Amy and Bashir don't get to it soon, they're going to be very angry with us. xDD

Amy: (sits down where Julian had been sitting and props herself up on her elbows, one knee in the air, and grins at him) So, where were we?

Dax: I'm sure Daniel and I would be happy to go with you guys. There's a new drink I'd been meaning to try out, anyway.

Odo: This is one part of humanoid culture that I don't think I'll ever get accustomed to.

LIKE it? I LOVE it. xD It's so perfect for them. I'm hoping to get something conclusive done this weekend, but we'll see how that goes. It IS mother's day, after all. xD I gotta make plans for my mom.

nextguardian on May 5, 2011, 2:09:19 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, I suppose so:

Bashir: (Jumps her)

Kira: Well...okay. I'll go get ready. You go corally that boyfriend of yours.

Holmes: Oh, sure you will. I didn't think I would. It just takes the right person, Odo. (taps commbadge) Holmes to Dax. How about a date tonight? I'm bring a...friend. Know anyone who might be willing to accompany a certain Shapeshifter?

I understand totally. My Mom is spending the day with her Mom, and I've got work -_-' So I think we're doing something Monday instead to accomodate everyone.

YunieXTidus on May 5, 2011, 2:17:22 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: (surprised, but enthusiastic) It's about damn time.

Dax: (taps commbadge) Dax here. Actually, I think I do. (watches Kira leaving) A certain Bejoran Major, perhaps? Is that agreeable to said Shapeshifter?

Odo: (looks embarrassed, then mumbles) That is agreeable.

That sounds like... fun? xD I'm not sure how you/your grandmother/ and your mother get along. I have 180 dollars in allowance that I haven't spent, so I'm going to buy her a necklace or something when I get the chance to go out.

nextguardian on May 5, 2011, 2:29:28 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: (Clearly enjoying himself) Yes, it is!

Holmes: Understood. We'll meet you at Quark's at in...one hour? Is that time enough? Odo and I have little to do get ready, I'm afraid...

Kira: Huh? Get ready? Aren't I already...ready?

That's nice of you^^
We get along fairly well. Grandma tends to be troublesome at times, but not unbearably so.

YunieXTidusxD

Dax: Better make it two, Daniel. It takes us women much longer than that. (grabs Kira and drags her off to Kira's quarters)

Odo: (collapses into chair, puts his head in his hands) I can't believe I got talked into this.

I think all grandma's work like that. xD

nextguardian on May 5, 2011, 2:36:08 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHolmes: Ah, I was wondering how much being a man a few times affected that. But oh well, I'm fine with it. See you in two hours. Holmes out.

(To Odo) Oh, you're just being melodramatic. Now, here, we'll practice. PRetend I'm Kira. What do you say first thing?

Kira: huh? Two hours? What would possibly take so long. When I dated in the resistance, it took 2 seconds, not two hours.

True. Mine looks like the perfect cookie-baking, sweater-knitting Grandma, but hell, she gets out more than I do!

YunieXTidus on May 5, 2011, 2:40:30 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusDax: Well, that explains a lot, Kira. When you go on a date, you don't just change your clothes. You do something a little different with your hair, put on a slightly different shade of makeup. It's the little touches that make all the difference.

Odo: (clears throat) Good evening, Major.

xD That's sad, in its own rite. My grandma is the overly friendly type. We'll be in the grocery store, and someone will stop at the same aisle we're stopped at, and she just HAS to strike up a conversation with them. Everywhere we go. -_- But she makes THE best cookies. Not so much on the sweaters. xD

nextguardian on May 5, 2011, 2:42:52 PM

nextguardianKira: Oh, come on, he won't notice! Odo isn't like that!

Holmes: Good, but let's replace Major with 'Kira'. Or even 'Neyrs'. You try.

Oh, it's not so sad. She goes out A LOT. Like three times a week, easy. (Shakes head) More social life than I'd care to have.
Mine is the confrontational type. If she thinks she's being overcharged (she thinks it's still 2.00 a gallon for gas), she lets everyone know.

YunieXTidusDax: (shakes her head sadly) Shapeshifter or no, Odo is still a man. Men are susceptible to womanly charms. Trust me, I've been a man. Several, actually.

Odo: ... Good evening, Kira. Are you sure that isn't too personal? It feels... weird, saying it.

xD You don't want to go out three times a week? ;) Maybe you just haven't met the right group of friends. (just kidding, i'm sure your friends are nice)

xD I love watching those people. They're so funny. And the people's reactions to them are even funnier.

nextguardianIt really is!

Bashir: (voice slightly high still) That's alright. Pain is healthy...

Holmes: Maybe I should escort you, since I double as security...

Kira: Sickbay? Are you kidding? They're practically violating noise ordinances! Besides, I know perfectly well what's going on! It's just...been a while (horrified she said that)

Yeah, it is ^^

I swear I've had a troll for a teacher before...a female troll -_-' She was so evil.

YunieXTidus on May 4, 2011, 2:53:45 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: (continuing) Well... I'm not sure how that sort of pain is beneficial to anyone's health.

Dax: (laughs) Been a while for Julian? Or for you, Kira? (teasing voice)

xD I think we all have at some point...

nextguardian on May 4, 2011, 2:56:00 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: Depends if you personally find it entertaining to bring a man to his knees or not. (light laugh)

Holmes: (snickers at Dax's comment)

Kira: Oh, shut up! (blushing furiously) I'll tell you if you ditch your boyfriend there.

Holmes: Hey, I'm gone. I'll just go to security and check in...

(You want to be Kira, and I'll handle Odo?)

True, true.

YunieXTidus on May 4, 2011, 3:07:40 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: Oh, I can think of better ways of bringing a man to his knees.

Dax: (dusts the sand off her swimsuit and legs) I'll see you later tonight, Daniel.

How 'bout you be Kira, and I'll be Odo? That way, we're not having entire conversations with ourselves.

My computer teacher. She's a sweet lady, but she's SO DAMN ANNOYING! She has THE. Biggest. Southern. Drawl. I've. Ever. Heard. And I live in TEXAS, okay? There are some big southern drawls down here. But hers is just ridiculous. And her 'main' job is flipping houses. This is her 'side job.' All she does it put our work into our computer folders and let us have at it. She sits there and makes sure we're not talking or using our phones or listening to music. -_- I REALLY hate that class.

nextguardian on May 4, 2011, 3:11:32 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: Oh? Care to tell me? Or show me? or demonstrate with me?

Holmes: Absolutely (big, stupid grin). I love that girl.(Puts on his uniform and heads for security; enters offics and waits for Odo's attention)

Kira: It really has been a while. No one since Bareil...I always wonder why I can't find the right person.

Okay, works for me!

That does sound like one difficult to swallow class. Yuck. I had one Spanish teacher that taught us no Spanish; she told us what boy bands she liked. You can imagine how fascinating I found that -_-'

YunieXTidus on May 4, 2011, 3:13:39 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: Feel free to jump up and have your way with me at any point, Julian.


Dax: Maybe you're not looking close enough to home, Kira. There are plenty of eligible, willing bachelors on the station.


Odo: ( comes in to his office and sees Dan, looking surprised) Is there something I can help you with, Ensign?


I would love a class like that! XD jk. Oh its an awful class.

nextguardian on May 5, 2011, 8:49:35 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: (imitates her tactic of feigning ignorance) Hmm? What was that, my dear? You're tired and want to take a nap?

Kira: Name one!

Holmes: Possibly, sir. I came to ask you a few questions about Major Kira, if you don't mind.

Blah. To heck with classes! I find that most of the time I could learn the material better on my own.

Oh, remind me later- I've got a little bit of an episode in progress to share with you :)

YunieXTidus on May 5, 2011, 8:53:08 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: (totally calm) Well, now that you mention it... I think I'll head to my quarters and catch up on some z's. (starts putting her clothes back on)

Dax: Odo.

Odo: Major Kira? Is everything alright?

xD I don't have the drive to learn most of the material they teach us on my own.

Yaaaaay!

YunieXTidus on May 5, 2011, 9:02:23 AM

YunieXTidusAlso, both versions of Amy are up!

nextguardian on May 5, 2011, 9:16:26 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: ...I guess if you're that tired (ohh, dangerous game of 'chicken' here, Bashir!)

Kira: (Stops dead) Odo? Are you hinting at something, Dax?

Holmes: Well, to tell the truth Constable, I'm thinking she's lonely.

It depends on what it is, I suppose.

I'll post that later. For now, I updated that 'Mercenaries' fic. enjoy!

YunieXTidus on May 5, 2011, 10:18:19 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: (lets out a big, exaggerated yawn with a very feline stretch) Yeah, I just haven't been sleeping very well lately. I should take whatever opportunity I can to recharge. (starts zipping up her uniform)

Dax: Nothing of the sort, Kira. You told me to name one eligible, willing bachelor, and I did.

Odo: Lonely? The Major? Don't be silly. (turns around to check something at the terminal behind him, presenting his back to Daniel)

YunieXTidus on May 5, 2011, 10:55:19 AM

nextguardianBashir: Pants? I don't need no stinkin' pants! (smiles and nuzzles her affectionately)

Holmes: It felt...good, if I'm honest. I'd never beaten him on a test in my life, until the command practical exam. I was given command of Enterprise D in orbit around Viridian III.

I know what you mean -_-'

YunieXTidus on May 4, 2011, 12:25:10 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: Lack of pants makes... other things... easier. (sultry tone)

Dax: I totally understand. Back at the Academy, my best friend would always go after the guys I liked. So, I rarely got any male attention. Until one day, I brought a guy friend in on it, and she approached him and shot her down, saying that he only had feelings for me. She never tried that again. Well, we didn't really speak much after that...

nextguardian on May 4, 2011, 12:31:33 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: Oh? What sorts of things, pray tell? Hmm? (head propped up on one arm, looking up at her with a grin)

Holmes: Very clever. I maintain that women at war are more menacing than the Borg. (smirks at the good-natured ribbing) Seriously though, I don't blame you. I was never in that position. As you might imagine, I wasn't a social butterfly.

YunieXTidus on May 4, 2011, 12:35:42 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: (grins back and slowly trails her hand up his inner thigh) Well, nothing comes to mind at the moment...

Dax: Well, that isn't necessarily a bad thing. It takes a certain type of person to be a 'social butterfly.' Besides, I think your shyness is quite endearing.

So... more of that crazy eating and sleeping, hmm? (shakes head in amazement)

nextguardian on May 4, 2011, 12:38:56 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: I'm sure you'll think of something...

Holmes: I'm glad you think so. I was beginning to think I'd be single forever. (shakes head) It takes a special kind of girl to put up with a veritable social recluse...

I know. I've really gotta get control. Today, for God's sake, I swear I actually exercised!

YunieXTidusAmy: (inches her hand a little higher) What if I'm not up to thinking? I'm sure you could think of something...

Dax: Oh, you're not that bad, Daniel. You don't give yourself enough credit. (pushes him down on to the sand gently and pins his arms down) Besides, I've taken it upon myself to break you of that habit.

Dear God, somebody call Doctor Phil! This guy's got PROBLEMS!!!!

nextguardian on May 4, 2011, 12:50:55 PM

nextguardianBashir: Well, if you keep wandering that hand in the right direction, you'll come into contact with a very important part of my body...

Holmes: (eyes wide) well, I'm a very happy social recluse anyway!

lol, I really do XD
Anything fun or interesting happen today?

YunieXTidus on May 4, 2011, 1:04:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: (smirks, then looks confused) What's that you said? You want me to stop?

Dax: (laughs) I'm sure you are. (leans down and kisses him)

Well, we took more pictures today. I swear, if we go out ONE MORE TIME for pictures... I'll... break my camera or something. xD

nextguardian on May 4, 2011, 1:06:55 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: Oh God, you're so mean! (Places her hand in the right spot impatiently) There!

Holmes: (Lets her take control)

I can top that, actually. I just did more than twice the work I needed to for a homework assignment. (shakes head) And it was driving me nuts because it made no sense. If you destroy your camera, kindly smash it into my skull, so it might jar some common sense and intelligence loose.

YunieXTidus on May 4, 2011, 1:22:38 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD Bashir.

Amy: (looks quite taken aback) I suppose I pushed you to your limit, hmm?

Dax: So, Daniel... (between kisses) Have you ever... given much thought to... being the dominant one... every once in a while? I think it would be... quite thrilling for you.

I can top THAT. In my writing class last year, we were supposed to write a 3 page narrative essay... Mine was SEVEN BLOODY PAGES. xD How's that for 'over twice the necessary work'?

nextguardian on May 4, 2011, 1:33:50 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: (big, fake huff and puff) Yes, I suppose you did! Well, you're there now. so...

Holmes: (also between kisses) I...just figured...on doing what...you wanted...that makes me...happy.

Pretty good, actually. But did you enjoy the work? I'm working with Microsoft Access. I don't know if you've ever had the chance to wrestle with this black hole of a program. If not, don't trouble yourself. It's a royal pain and little else -_-'

YunieXTidus on May 4, 2011, 1:44:25 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: (being intentionally obtuse) Julian, you're going to have to be a bit more precise as to what you want. I'm no mindreader.

Dax: (between kisses again) But surely... there are times... when you just want... to have your way with me?

Oh, I enjoyed it immensely. And yes, I have quite recently unfortunately. It's not an experience I want to repeat. That program SUCKS. xD I empathize deeply, sir.

nextguardian on May 4, 2011, 1:51:23 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: At this point, anything short of maming little Julian is fine with me.

Holmes: Oh...I have...instincts...but...you know me...I...just can't...bring myself to...act on them...

It's not so bad if you can get into an assignemnt. As for me, I'm just about to ask my professor how bad a hit my grades would take if I just skipped the rest of the miserable section. Oh my God is it the most convuluted, miserable program from hell! There is not one single thing in that stupid thing that you can't do with Excel faster and batter imho.

YunieXTidus on May 4, 2011, 1:55:43 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: I'm going to pretend you didn't just name it...

Dax: If you're worried about... protests from me... you won't find them. In fact... I'd quite... enjoy it. Being in control... all the time... is hard work.

I know! xD I'm so glad our lesson only took 3 class periods. It took me like, 3 extra days to get them done than we were supposed to, but I just couldn't bring myself to do them until last minute. That's what I was working on the other day when I said I was doing homework. It SUCKED.

nextguardian on May 4, 2011, 2:05:46 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: Oh, come on, didn't you name your...you know...those?

Holmes: (Grabs her waist, rolls over so he's on top) Well then...I can't...say no to...you!

Kira: (walks in; stunned) What the hell? Dax and Holmes?! (Within earshot of Dax and Holmes)

I've been working with the damned thing for a month. I HATE IT! The bloody query function is worse than useless! I could ctrl+f and find what I want faster! And equations- calculators! Gah!

nextguardian on May 4, 2011, 2:06:17 PM

nextguardianOn a side note, my professor will be getting a very entertaining email the next time he checks it...

YunieXTidus on May 4, 2011, 2:11:20 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: Well, no, Julian. (snicker) I happen to be a very normal person who doesn't name her appendages.

Dax: (quite calmly, not moving) Hello, Major.

On the side note: Oh?

nextguardian on May 4, 2011, 2:14:39 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: Oh. Well, this is me looking stupid and wishing you to start moving your hand...

Holmes: (Has 'oh crap' all over his face) Er...i'd salute you, but Lt. Dax appears to be on my hands right now.

Kira: I was just about to come rip you off her and throw you out the nearest airlock...but if she's okay with it...

Holmes: (whispers to Dax) I think we just planted the seed to get her with Odo...

Oh yes. Something about 'how bad will my grade be if I simply don't make the deadline because of this program?' I think I said 'convoluted' at least once, and nearly commented on where this program came from, and where it can go. XD THankfully, I know him personally, and he might just laugh about it.

YunieXTidus on May 4, 2011, 2:18:04 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: (obliges) You could never look stupid, Julian. Your only settings are cute, sexy, and scary.

Dax: I'm perfectly okay with it, Major. No need to come to my defense. (whispers back) I think you're right. I'll have to talk to Amy about giving the Major another little push...

xD You gotta love the cool professors. I can't wait to get to college.

nextguardian on May 4, 2011, 2:24:35 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: There was the time I lodged a dart in Quark's lobes from an errant shot...I daresay it was funny, but I didn't look like any of the above.

Holmes: (whispers) Then let's sell it a little more...(end whisper) (Kisses her passionately, pulling her tight to him)

Kira: (half looks away) Uh, well...ahem. I can, uh, see you two are having fun. I'm just a little surprised. Let me guess: Dax pushed you down, then told you to get on top?

Some are cool, but man, some are just evil. The only trick I picked up is to always talk to the professor before the classes start, and just talk to them as people. If they're jerks, then chances are they're jerks during class, too.

YunieXTidus on May 4, 2011, 2:29:40 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: Poor baby, you probably looked black and blue all over. Also, I'm impressed with your amount of concentration, considering...

Dax: (poker face) No, no, Kira, you've got it all wrong. He pushed me down.

Makes sense.

nextguardian on May 4, 2011, 2:33:58 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: If you squeeze, you'll have my undivided attention, believe me.

Holmes: Er, yeah! She was teasing me, so I totally tackled her and, uh, we went from there.

Kira: I see...I have a hard time believing that...for some reason. And what's the noise in the cabana?

Holmes: (Thinks) Crap! I never authorized Bashir to soundproof the cabana!

It sounds like common sense, doesn't it? If you get them talking, you find out they're Star Trek fans, or something else you've got in common, and then relate that to the subject. Then they cut you slack, or are at least more open to helping you.

YunieXTidus on May 4, 2011, 2:37:36 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: (squeezes)

Dax: I... have no words for that...

xD Now THAT is funny. xDDD

Oh, you clever, clever man.

nextguardianHe really is. And poor Troi, having to deal with the psycho.

Bashir: (Lies there, grinning up at her) Just enjoying the view.

Holmes: Well, we both have a taste for Klingon food. And frankly, I find your knowledge fascinating.

YunieXTidus on May 3, 2011, 2:17:13 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD I love their episodes together.

Amy: Well, you could be more productive... And enjoy the view with your hands.

Dax: Something you may not know about me... I'm a huge fan of the 21st century novel "Harry Potter" series.

nextguardian on May 3, 2011, 2:23:47 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI hated him at first, but when I saw him a second time, I found him entertaining. I saw him on Voyager first, and I didn't know his history, so I was like 'who's this whackjob?'

Bashir: (Fingering the strings, then abruptly pulls them). Heaven.

Holmes: Really? I vaguely remember that series, I think. Something about magic and the like?

YunieXTidus on May 3, 2011, 2:28:49 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHmm. I always found him entertaining. Mostly because he had absolutely no idea how to socialize (I problem I -used to- could relate to) and he was so nerdy. It was just adorable. My friend hates him with a passion.

Amy: You're selling heaven a few leagues short, dear. Now I'm going to need you to lie on your back, or I can't give you a massage...

Dax: The very same. It's really a great story.

nextguardian on May 3, 2011, 2:36:02 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI think he's too similar to me...
Okay, I'm slightly less socially inepty, but it hits close to home lmao.

Bashir: (Turns over obidiently)

Holmes: I would have to say, with your intelligence, you remind of the female. Oh, what was her name...H-something...

YunieXTidus on May 3, 2011, 2:40:02 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD Well, I'm sure you're not that bad. Unless YOU'RE schizo, too...

Amy: (rubs her hands together to make them warm before laying them on his shoulders and gently kneading with her thumbs)

Dax: Hermione?

nextguardian on May 3, 2011, 2:46:37 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNo, not quite. I'm not quite Barclay, but I do see a couple vague similarities. Though I think we've all got a bit of Barclay in us.

Bashir: (Big sigh and relaxes)

Holmes: Yes, that's it. You remind me of with your intelligence.

YunieXTidus on May 3, 2011, 2:50:43 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD True enough, true enough.

Amy: (leans over and presses a soft kiss right on his spine, dragging her lips halfway down his back while still massaging his shoulders) Is that good for you?

Dax: (laugh) Well, no offense to Hermione, but I've had eight(?) lifetimes to acquire my intelligence. But what does that make you? The awkward ginger?

nextguardian on May 3, 2011, 3:11:42 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianSome of us are just closer, that's all XD

Bashir: That's VERY good for me. VERY good.

Holmes: Hmm...I would say that makes me...blah, that red-headed kid.

YunieXTidus on May 3, 2011, 3:17:31 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: (trails her fingers down either side of his spine down to his lower-lower back, then gently scrapes her fingernails across his tan skin with a feather-light touch) Is that good for you, as well?

Dax: Oh, Ron's not so bad.

What do you mean, blah, that red headed kid? Rupert Grint (Ronald Weasley) is funny and sexy and GINGER. Be jealous.

nextguardian on May 3, 2011, 3:40:56 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: ESPECIALLY good, my dear. Exceptional.

Holmes: I suppose not. He got better as the series went on.

lol, jealous? Hardly! The kid is good. I'm just not a huge fan of his character early in the series.

YunieXTidus on May 3, 2011, 3:49:29 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI can just imagine Julian's voice getting higher and higher as this progressed.

Amy: (trails her fingers across the small of his back to either hip bone, then tracing the indents of his hips forward until she couldn't easily go farther, then trailed back up and continued massaging his lower back) And that?

Dax: he did. Although I always found him amusing.

nextguardian on May 3, 2011, 4:16:06 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI could picture that, too. Lucky ol' Bashir!

Bashir: Ecstacy. Pure, unadulterated ecstacy.

Holmes: I agree. But he was almost too pathetic at first. I pitied him too much to be a real fan, I guess.

YunieXTidus on May 3, 2011, 4:19:43 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusXD lucky lucky Bashir.

Amy: Ecstasy? We haven't even gotten to the good part yet! Are you sure you can handle it?

Dax: Well, he was pretty wimpy in the beginning...

nextguardian on May 3, 2011, 4:26:19 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThough I envy Holmes, too.

Bashir: Oh God, don't stop now! (begging)

Holmes: He was. But he really came into his own around the...fifth book, I think?

YunieXTidus on May 3, 2011, 4:51:15 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: (ceases all movement) Or what, Doctor?

Dax: Yes, I think you're right. He was a jerk in most of the 4th one.

nextguardian on May 4, 2011, 12:34:56 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: (Eyes fly open) That's so mean, Amy! If you stop, I'll get dressed! Take that!

Holmes: Even though I kind of get why he was a jerk, it was still ridiculous of him to treat his friend that way. And poor Hermione, caught in the middle like that...

YunieXTidus on May 4, 2011, 1:02:39 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: Not if you can't find your pants...(evil grin)

Holmes: (laugh) Aw, c'mon, it's lame, you don't have to lie. It really is! And it's my penchant for saying stupid things like that that have probably kept me single until now! (chuckles again) But I've got to admit, the fact that you stifled your laughter means you must at least be able to tolerate me.

((He can't help it; he's one of my creations. At least he gets the girl this time! XD))

Well, I've got to go for tonight. Have a good night, and good luck with that homework! (In my mind Bashir and Holmes are both cursing me for leaving off here XD)

YunieXTidusThat sounds so exciting! Tell me more! ;}

Amy: (rolls her eyes) Crude jokes aside... (waggles her eyebrows suggestively)

Dax: Well, it's an endearing sort of lameness. (looks thoughtful) Is "lameness" even a word?

nextguardian on May 3, 2011, 11:41:46 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt's like; I woke up today. I mean, when does THAT happen? XD

Bashir: Ah, yes, of course, my dear. Forgive me; I was a bit surprised with myself.

Holmes: Hmm...I think it's a word. And if now, what describes me better?

YunieXTidus on May 3, 2011, 11:47:53 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYou mean, that actually HAPPENS to you? Gosh, that's crazy! You'd better be careful. XD

Amy: Mhm... Surprise me more.

Dax: (gives it serious thought) Well, "cute" would be one. "Adorable." Hmm...

nextguardian on May 3, 2011, 11:52:15 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI know! And get this: soemtimes I...eat. (gasp!)

Bashir: (plays with her bikini straps) I COULD surprise you that way..

Holmes: That's sweet of you, but I believe that's yourself you're describing. So let's not forget to add 'brilliant' and 'gorgeous'.

YunieXTidus on May 3, 2011, 11:57:54 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus(faints from shock)

Amy: (watches his hands interestedly) You could, indeed...

Dax: Deflection won't work on me, Daniel. You are particularly adorable with those spots. And let's not forget when you blush! Which is quite frequently, now that I stop to think about it.

nextguardian on May 3, 2011, 12:01:49 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAnd then...I go to sleep. (Shakes head) I'm out of control

Bashir: Hey, no slacking off! (Puts her hand on his waistband)

Holmes: (Blushes) Well, it doesn't take much to get me to turn red, that's for sure. But if I wasn't in the presence of a beautiful creature such as yourself, I wouldn't blush nearly as much. So I've grown rather fond of the sensation ^^

YunieXTidus on May 3, 2011, 12:06:40 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusSounds like you need an intervention, man.

Amy: (runs her thumbs firmly along his waistband, leaving little white trails as she does) Julian, if you wanted a massage, you should have just said so.

Dax: All this flattery... (leans in and kisses him) You sure know the right things to say to a lady, Daniel. Even if they are a bit cliche.

nextguardian on May 3, 2011, 12:17:03 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI know, God. My so-called friends just make fun of me for it!

Bashir: I'm always open to that idea, Amy. Do I need to be clothed for this massage?

Holmes: Well, these are new waters for me. I'm not entirely sure what to do or say, so until I find out what works, I'm borrowing the classics ^^

YunieXTidus on May 3, 2011, 12:21:12 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD Well, when people do strange things (like eating and sleeping), normal people who don't do these things mock the people who DO do them. It happens.

Amy: Well... It would work better if you weren't.

Dax: Don't worry about what to do or say. Just do what feels natural to you. Just be yourself.

nextguardian on May 3, 2011, 12:25:18 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt's not MY fault I was hatched different!

Bashir: (Slips off his trunks) Okay, now what?

Holmes: I admit that I'm a complete dork. Then again, you probably could already tell that. It's not secret (laughs)

YunieXTidus on May 3, 2011, 12:27:49 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHatched... (looks at you oddly and takes a few steps away) Did you say you were 'hatched'?

Amy: (suddenly seems very interested in his lack of trunks) Well, uh... I... (points around vaguely for a towel) Um...

Dax: (laughs in agreement) Yes, but a very cute, adorable dork.

nextguardian on May 3, 2011, 12:31:50 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWhy yes. Weren't you? (Curious look) Oh no...I'm weird again! No no no! (fetal position)

Bashir: (teasing) Hmm? What are you trying to say, Amy?

Holmes: I suppose that's true. Oh! (digs in the sand) It's here somewhere...ah! (Pulls out a white shell dotted with what looks like trill spots) It's from Trellius IV...their version of a seashell. I thought you might like it.

YunieXTidus on May 3, 2011, 12:43:24 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD You are a riot.

Amy: (very small voice) I'm not quite sure...

Dax: Daniel, that's so sweet! (holds it up, looking back and forth between the shell and Dan) It looks just like you!

nextguardian on May 3, 2011, 12:50:21 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, thanks. (sniffle) It's great of you to accept me for what I am! Really! It's terrific! (lol, now I sound like Reg Barclay drunk)

Bashir: It might be less awkward if you were to join me...

Holmes: (laughs) You know, you're right. I hadn't thought of that!

YunieXTidus on May 3, 2011, 12:54:16 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus(Pats Reg- I mean, you- on the back awkwardly) Well, I... (at a loss for words)

Amy: Now there's a thought worth entertaining. Although I seem to be having problems untying these knots...

Dax: So, Daniel. (abrupt subject change) What do you do for fun? Other than... last night's events. (wink)

nextguardianGotta love it when the universe doles out the just deserts :)

That's fine. I'm actually doing the exact same thing, except I'm trying to get ahead so I can relax for a while. Hopefully that'll help my depression a bit ^^

YunieXTidus on May 2, 2011, 2:14:59 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI hope so.

Amy: How about we skip the formalities and head straight for the fun parts? Let's test the soundproof-ness of this cabana. (naughty wink)

Dax: Either the spots... or the process in which you got them.

nextguardian on May 2, 2011, 2:19:56 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIf not, this goofy RP will do it XD

Bashir: Fine with me. Should I carry you, or do you still object?

Holmes: (Blushes) Maybe both, then...(smiles teasingly) Lieutenant?

YunieXTidus on May 2, 2011, 2:29:09 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD It's good for SOMETHING, then.

Amy: Well, since you asked so nicely... (offers herself to be carried)

Dax: (returns the smile, and wags her finger admonishingly) Ah, ah, ah. If you don't start calling me Jadzia, at least when we're alone like we are now, I'm going to have to start calling you Ensign.

nextguardian on May 2, 2011, 2:32:01 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt's certainly amusing!

Bashir: (Picks her up and carries her into the cabana)

Holmes: Yes, ma'am. er, Jadzia. Jadzia. I'll get it down, I promise :)

YunieXTidus on May 2, 2011, 2:34:50 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD It is that.

Amy: (giggles and traces the edge of his hairline by his neck with her fingers) You're stronger than you look, Julian.

Dax: (leans in and kisses him twice) Good boy.

nextguardianBashir: (mock seriousness) Do you mean to imply I need to 'hit the weights', as Chief O'Brien puts it? (slight pout)

Holmes: That is way better than a pat on the head for being a good boy. 'Though I wouldn't object to a collar and leash (smriking; deciding to see if he can throw off the unflappable Dax)

YunieXTidus on May 2, 2011, 2:40:19 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: (bites his protruding lip playfully) No, not at all. I like my men a little bit on the wiry side.

Dax: (very slight surprise, but quickly recovers) Well, if that's what you're into, I'm sure I've got one of each lying around somewhere in my quarters...

nextguardian on May 2, 2011, 2:43:34 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: Well, I've got good tendon strength, but frankly, I don't need it. You don't weigh anything!

Holmes: (Grins) Let me guess- Curzon was into that kind of thing? Either way, I don't mind (pressing his slight advantage)

YunieXTidus on May 2, 2011, 2:47:36 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: Julian, you do know the right things to say to a lady. (gently nips at his ear)

Dax: (raises her eyebrows slightly) Well, well. I knew you were submissive, Daniel, but I didn't realize you were into that sort of thing. Just when I think I've got you figured out...

nextguardian on May 2, 2011, 2:51:36 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAmy: Can't have you dieting or something and ruining your perfect figure (Lifts her up above his head playfully)

Holmes: Well, if it's the right person on the other end of the leash...(kisses her cheek) What can I say? Of course, if there's anything YOU especially like, I'll be happy to participate. It's more the company that's important...Wow, thats' waaayyyy too mature a thought for a guy with his first serious girlfriend. (And now he's even more lame XD)

YunieXTidus on May 2, 2011, 2:54:14 PM

YunieXTidus^Lol at your accidental name reversal

YunieXTidus on May 2, 2011, 2:57:10 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol this whole thing is just ridiculous.

Amy: Well, you wouldn't have to worry about that. I know how to take care of my body. I am a medical officer, after all.

Dax: It's a very good point. In the right company, people are willing to do things they'd never do with someone else, or alone.

Can't wait to see how it comes out :)

YunieXTidus on May 2, 2011, 12:17:19 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD It really is. I emailed her to you. In pdf format. I hope you have adobe acrobat. x( stupid scanner, converting it to the wrong file type.

nextguardian on May 2, 2011, 12:21:25 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNo problems opening it. It's an odd thing to point out, but you got the ST medical color right. What color did you use for that?

Really great pic ^^

YunieXTidus on May 2, 2011, 12:24:36 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI just used the blue that came in my colored pencil set. I'm not sure what the name of it is, and I'm not sure where the set is atm. xD But I was pretty happy with how accurate it looked. One thing I hate about colored pencils is the grainy-ness of it.

Thanks. ^^

nextguardian on May 2, 2011, 12:31:22 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThe reason I asked is that I've been reading ST books for years, and no one can agree on just what color ST medical wears. Blue, aqua, blue-green, etc. This looked right, so that's what prompted the question.

np :)

YunieXTidus on May 2, 2011, 12:35:40 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, it varies, depending on the time period of the show. Some ARE aqua, and some ARE blue-green. It just depends.

Again, sorry I'm taking soooo long on my pilot. xD

nextguardian on May 2, 2011, 12:38:51 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianTrue enough. I can usually pick out a pattern (like 'oh, it's blue-green' in TNG and 'aqua' in Voyager/DS9), but I haven't noticed anything like that. I wanted to make sure that I referred to it correctly in our co-op, if there was a correct way to refer to the color.

It's okay. It's just making me want to read it more ^^ I've been writing up short ideas and elaborating on them.

YunieXTidus on May 2, 2011, 12:42:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD I think just "blue" would suffice. Honestly, to me, they look more "aqua" than "blue-green."

x) I'm punishing you for... I'm not sure yet, but it'll come to mind eventually.

What sorts of ideas?

nextguardian on May 2, 2011, 12:53:06 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, I'm probably overthikning the issue a bit. I really can't see anyone giving a crap XD

Let me see...always ending my fics with a cliffhanger?

Let's see...some stuff for the universe, Trill spots for Holmes, a few ideas for Bajor, plus the stuff I've already told you about. Stuff like that.

YunieXTidus on May 2, 2011, 12:55:09 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD Yes, dern you!

Ah, I see.

I've gotten to where they land the shuttle in the Odyssey, and she's granted permission to come aboard. That's as far as I've gotten so far, but I'm about to work on some more of it!

nextguardian on May 2, 2011, 1:01:19 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, sorry. But that's how I keep readers! Then again,you and Andr28a might actually keep coming back regardless.

Yes, I want more! And I promise I'll tone down the length of my chapters from now on. I was a little over excited when we started XD

YunieXTidus on May 2, 2011, 1:04:19 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD Of course we would! We're your number one fans! xDD

Well, don't feel constrained to a limit. I'm just slower on this for some reason. I mean, there's a different 'feel' to this -verse than Naruto. You can't sum it up in 15 minutes (or 2000 words). I mean, real DS9 episodes are about 45 minutes long. Just saying.

nextguardian on May 2, 2011, 1:14:33 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThanks! I haz fanz!

True, but I think that if we format the way we talked about, a 5500 word chapter is superflous. I don't know; we'll have to see what sort of formatting works out. Two long chapters or maybe four medium sized ones to an 'episode'.

YunieXTidus on May 2, 2011, 1:18:14 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat... made me bust out laughing. xD

Well, I think for a pilot it's appropriate. But yeah, it'll be easier when we don't have to describe quite so much.

I do appreciate your patience. I'm usually not so slow when I'm writing.

nextguardian on May 2, 2011, 1:21:19 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm glad :D

Yes, it'll definitely get more simple from here.

No problem at all ^^ I had an advantage by writing that Voyager fic, plus being familiar with DS9 atm. I'd rather you took your time and liked your end product than rushed on my account and wound up disliking your own work. That's too close to something I would do XD

YunieXTidus on May 2, 2011, 1:23:37 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusFair enough. It did take me forever to get my hands on a couple DS9 episodes, to refresh my memory.

Anywho, while I'm working, how are you this evening?

nextguardian on May 2, 2011, 1:28:50 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI like that explanation. The other is that I have too much time on my hands and live in a fantasy universe more often than not XD So let's go with 'I just watched DS9 and you just got back to it' :D

Well...to be honest, not well. I've been sort of depressed for a number of reasons. But I'll get over it in short order ^^ How was your day?

YunieXTidus on May 2, 2011, 1:31:49 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIs it anything you want to talk about? If not, that's fine, too.

Cold and wet. We had below 50 degree weather, with rain. And windy! Bleh.

Also, is the Odyssey particularly lavish in its furnishings? I'm trying to scope Amy's reaction to the tour of the ship, but I'm not sure what it looks like on the inside.

nextguardian on May 2, 2011, 1:38:52 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'd be perfectly willing to talk about it, but I'm not sure what 'it' is. I'm thinking it's just a conglameration of school, work, and other stress just finally catching up with me. I'm not sure what exactly the problem is :\ That makes it frustrating as all hell, which no doubt makes the whole thing worse.
lol, look at me, i'm a paradox like Scrodinger's cat!

Seriously, I appreciate the offer. If I figure out what's going on, I'll definitely open up :)

Same here. It was that miserable fine, clingy rain, too!

Let's see...the bridge was similar to Enterpise B's, but more condensed, with the back wall being closer. That's all you really ever saw of the ship. But being Galaxy class, I would say it's comparable to Enterprise D in every other way. Sorry I can't be more help there :(

nextguardian on May 2, 2011, 1:40:26 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianFor the record, I really liked the starfleet uniforms in 'Generations'. They seemed like a good segway between the TOS uniforms and the TNG uniforms.

YunieXTidus on May 2, 2011, 1:42:17 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusSo, I could have her comment on how big the ship is. There's like, gotta be at LEAST a hundred decks. Or more. I'm not sure how many the enterprise had, but it was a lot.

YunieXTidus on May 2, 2011, 1:44:05 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI just realized I paid no attention to the first part of the comment.

I'm more than happy to help! I always have an ear available to lend.

Yes, I hate that kind of rain!

nextguardian on May 2, 2011, 1:52:34 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI looked it up: 42 decks on Enterprise D. I thought there was more than that. Some other facts:
Maximum warp: 9.9 (at extreme risk)
Length:641 meters
Width: 463 meters
Height: 195 meters

And if you REALLY want to have Amy get the luxury treatment, you could have the 'shuttle' be Keogh's 'Captain's Yacht'. I had forgotten that the Galaxy class had that, but after I saw it on wikipedia I remembered that episode where Picard and Wesley are in the Captain's Yacht together on the way to Picard's heart replacement.

That's alright. I appreciate the offer :)

YunieXTidus on May 2, 2011, 1:59:12 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAh. Well, I'm about to have the Odyssey run into trouble when they're trying to transport Amy over to DS9, but I'm wondering if I should put in some very minor crew interactions, where Amy sees how they think of her as "the Admiral's spoiled daughter." .... I suppose I can let you see what I have. xD If we keep doing this, you're going to get to read the entire pilot in little segments.

Here ya go:


And who knows? Maybe someday you’ll get to serve on a real starship. Have you ever thought about serving on the Odyssey? Picard, he’s a great man, but he’s gotten soft with old age. Between you and me, I’m not sure he has what it takes to command a starship out there on the frontier. Out there you have to make snap decisions, hard choices. You can’t let your emotions get in the way; you have to be willing to sacrifice a few lives for the greater good. Picard does not fit that bill.”

“I’ll… keep it in mind, sir,” Amy replied, working very hard to keep the irritation out of her voice. She was beginning to take an inherent dislike to this man. Luckily, before the Captain had a chance to continue, they caught sight of the Odyssey. Amy’s mouth dropped open- the ship filled the shuttle’s entire view-screen! She’d heard stories, but it was hard to imagine the sheer size of it until it was staring her in the face. Keogh tapped his Commbadge and issued the first of many orders on this venture.

“Keogh to Odyssey. Open the doors to Shuttle-bay 2.”

“Doors to Shuttle-bay 2…. Open, sir!” came the reply, and the occupants of the shuttle watched as the shuttle-bay doors slid open. Once the doors locked into place, Amy maneuvered the shuttle in and gently touched her down. As soon as the shuttle-bay doors were closed, she ran the standard-procedure system checks before opening the shuttle door and shutting down. The Captain got off first, then turned around and stood to attention. Amy grabbed her duffel bag before snapping to attention, herself.

“Permission to come aboard, sir?”

“Granted, Ensign. Welcome aboard the Odyssey.

--

After a very thorough tour of the Odyssey, Amy was finally allowed to relieve herself to her quarters for the night. Keogh had told her that they’d be reaching DS9 in about 16 hours; great thing, warp drive. After a few hours of rest, she was to report to sickbay where she would act out the rest of her stay aboard the galaxy-class ship.

nextguardianI wonder if there really IS blood grass somewhere? XD

Bashir: (Grabs her and starts making out with her)

Holmes: No, no...you're the only one I'd tell this to. See, I was on the USS Guardian a year and a half ago. It was a reconstructed science vessel. And we were attacked suddenly. I was Chief Tactical Officer, so I fired back. Our ship was underpowered in both engines and weapons. We had a hull breach which allowed dangerous, infectious diseases to be released into the ship. I destroyed the alien ship, but not before 148 of our 150 crew members perished from the diseases that were released. I only surived because the captain ordered the bridge sealed off from main life support. I gave him the idea. And they commended me for it. For signing the death warrants of 148 innocent people, not to mention the crew of the other ship. I had no choice if ANYONE was to survive, but...(trails off)

Nerds, unite! Be proud!

I'm going to get off for the night. I'm just about to facekeyboard. That's like face-palming, except you physically pass out and smack your face XD Talk to you later!

YunieXTidus on May 1, 2011, 3:29:45 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD There IS! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperata_cylindrica

Amy: (between kisses) Mm.. you know, patience is a virtue... One that you obviously do not possess.

Dax: Oh, Daniel. There was nothing else you could have done! You can't blame yourself for their deaths... it could just as easily have been someone else on the bridge, and you infected. You did the best you could under the circumstances. If you can't forgive yourself, Daniel, how can you expect others to?

xD Turnabout's fair play! lol sleep well, friend. I've been working a little on my pilot, and I'm hoping to have it finished in the next couple of days. So sorry it's taking me so long! I'm not sure how you managed to pull a 5500+ word chapter out of thin air in like, two days. xD That was very impressive. Anyway, I'll talk to you tomorrow!

YunieXTidus on May 1, 2011, 4:45:28 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAlso, I'm toying with an idea for a later episode. Amy wakes up one morning, only to find that she can't see. But I can't think of a reasonable explanation for it, or why it would take several days to fix. Or how it could be tied to a bigger problem on DS9. Any suggestions?

YunieXTidus on May 2, 2011, 12:31:43 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusALSO, I coloured Amy. When I get to my scanner, I'll email her to you before I post her on FAC.

Holmes: A price I certainly don't mind paying.

Sounds comfortable ^^ All the blood grass in my front yard is dead -_-'

A friend of my Mom's was involved in some part of ST: Generations filming (the actual physical film), and I think that's how I wound up with the shirt.
I really wish someone would make more of Trek technology a reality!

YunieXTidusAmy: Or we could excuse ourselves due to a "medical emergency".... I'm quite certain they'd hear us through the thin walls of a cabana.

Blood grass... That sounds gruesome.

YunieXTidus on May 1, 2011, 2:46:09 PM

YunieXTidusxD i just now realized that I totally left Dax out. I was too distracted by the blood grass. Sorry, Dax!

Amy: (leans in and nips at his ear) Quite more than 'a little,' my dear.

Dax: I would hope not! So, Daniel, what led you to DS9?

xD I would cry 'nerrrrrd' but I have absolutely no room to talk. Transporter technology would be quite handy.

Same here. His character development is the best example I've evers een.

Well, I've got to go for the night. I just realized I have to be awake in less than 7 hours. Good luck with that character pic and the pilot!

Yes, I love it.

Ah, well, good night! Have fun tomorrow with work. xD

I still say you should go for the host gig. Much better money, I'm sure. xDD

nextguardianBashir: I'm certainly fine with that. Maybe I could convince you to join me.

Holmes: Well, that's good, then. And as for me, I'm pretty straightforward, too, as evidenced by last night.

Odo had a less obvious character development, but it was done tastefully, too.

Thanks. So far, 2 out of 3 games have sucked. I skate the third in about 2 hours. Blah. Double-blah, because it'll make me later getting on FAC. I should be on about an hour or so later than usual. But I WILL be around!

lmao. The work is probably easier, too.

YunieXTidus on May 1, 2011, 8:33:37 AM

YunieXTidusAmy: perhaps I could be persuaded.

Dax: And I like straightforwardness in my man.

Sounds good! I'll probably get the lineart for Amy posted in 3 hours or so.

nextguardianBashir: I do hope so. It sounds like great fun.

Holmes: I seem to be batting 1000 with you. I wish I'd gotten the guts up to talk to you sooner.

Awesome! I really can't wait for that!

Sure:

Name: Daniel Holmes
Rank: Ensign
Hair/Eyes: D. Brown/Hazel
Height: 5'9"
Current Assignment: Deep Space 9

Holmes is on the command track, having graduated from the academy two years ago. A certain incident led to his promotion to Ensign after being out of the academy for six months.

Ensign Holmes is ambitious, but won't trample anyone on his way to the top. He is courteous; girl shy; and has a tendency to avoid the spotlight if he believes it wasn't warranted.

YunieXTidus on May 1, 2011, 1:08:44 PM

nextguardianlol, you succeeded. But it made her more adorable, so sorry, Amy!

YunieXTidusSTARFLEET PERSONNEL FILE:

Name: Amy Collins
Profession: Medical
Rank: Ensign
Current assignment: Deep Space Nine (Medical Officer)
Full Name: Amelia Renee Collins
Age: 23
Place of birth: United States, Earth
Parents: Raymond S. Collins, Linda E. Collins (deceased)
Education: -CLASSIFIED-
Marital status: Single
Children: None


Physical Appearance
Height: 1:70 cm
Weight: 57 Kg
Eye Colour: Blue
Hair Colour: Dark brown
Race: Human
Gender: Female
Appearance: Average

Personality:
Somewhat antisocial. Does not relate well to men, especially those in the command track. Finds it hard to make friends, but treasures them dearly once she does. Suffers from occasional anxiety problems. Has some issues trusting others, especially men.


Character background:
Having a highly renowned admiral for a father led Amy to grow up with some inferiority issues. She lived most of her life in the States, where her father was stationed, but after her mother passed, she decided to move to the U.K., to “broaden her horizons.” Dreamed all her life of serving on the U.S. Enterprise, but due to a certain incident that happened two months before she was to join the crew, her father reassigned her to Deep Space Nine, so she could “think about her actions and gain some responsibility.” That same incident is also the reason she switched from the command to the medical track.

YunieXTidusxD THAT takes skill.

YunieXTidus on May 1, 2011, 1:50:57 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol at Bashir's "great fun."

Amy: Oh, does it, now?

Dax: Well, you never know til you try, Daniel.


Anyway, so now that work's over, how was your day?

nextguardian on May 1, 2011, 1:53:44 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: Most certainly. We can even play 'tag'.

Holmes: It's the 'try' part that is so horrifying. If things hadn't worked out, you and I are in Ops together every day. It would have been quite a bit awkward.


Much better, thank you. Now homework is kicking my butt, but beyond that, not bad ^^ How was your day?

YunieXTidus on May 1, 2011, 1:59:12 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: Or, something more up your alley... We could always play 'doctor.'

Dax: Things are only awkward if you let them be. But luckily, we don't have to think about the 'what if.' The important thing is that it did work out.

Ah, crap. You just reminded me that I have a project due last Friday in chemistry that I forgot to do over the weekend. It's a good thing I get to school early. -_-

My day was pretty good. My mom took me to look at some houses in town that we're considering. Anything to get out of this little apartment.

Oh, did you hear the news? Osama Bin Laden is dead!

nextguardian on May 1, 2011, 2:04:28 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: Yes, I am rather good at that game. You are too, if I'm not mistaken.

Holmes: No offense, but you've had eight lifetimes to gain that kind of calm perspective. (grins) I'm surprised it hasn't occured to Jake Sisco to ask you for advice about girls yet. I mean, it's such a rare thing to find someone who's been on both sides of the fence.

Oh, sorry about that.

Well, that's good news. Did you like any of theM?

I did! That was a surprise. I can't help but be a bit sceptical for now, since we've heard this before. But if it's the real thing this time; YAY!

YunieXTidus on May 1, 2011, 2:11:05 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: Quite, quite.

Dax: Well... (looks around, then leans in) Jake's come to me on several occasions for advice, but he asked me to keep it on the down-low.

Well, it happens. To me, a lot. xD

Yeah, I liked two of them. The third one had a snake in the backyard, and if we're going to get a puppy, I don't want her to be sharing a backyard with snakes.

They said it was DNA confirmed.

Check this out! xD I should have known they'd have something like this. http://starfleetacademystore.com/#tab

Holmes: Well, yes. Partly. Although I wouldn't have objected to either you saying 'I love you, too' or possibly you jumping my bones (laughs)

:)
So, how are you tonight?

YunieXTidus on April 30, 2011, 12:36:17 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: (presses a suggestive kiss right below his ear) Oh, I know exactly how open to suggestion you are.

Dax: Well...(leans in to give him another kiss) I love you, too, Daniel. And while the second part of that sounds particularly appealing, we do have company.

I'm pretty good. I just watched the second episode of the new season of Doctor Who. I'm a very happy girl.

nextguardian on April 30, 2011, 12:41:36 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: (Lays down and pulls her on top of him) Comfortable?

Holmes: (Envelops her in a fond hug as the tide hits their feet) That means so much to me, Jadzia. (reaches up to kiss her due to the height difference)

That's good :)

YunieXTidus on April 30, 2011, 12:47:10 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: With you, always. (nips at his shoulder playfully)

Dax: (hugs him back) of course, Daniel. You should know how much you mean to me.

They left it on a cliffhanger though, so I'm dying, waiting for next Saturday.

nextguardian on April 30, 2011, 12:52:43 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: (attacks her neck playfully)

Holmes: I do. Thank you. Big time. (pause, then a laugh) I was just thinking of Major Kira's reaction when she hears this juicy bit of gossip.

Oh, I hate it when that happens.

YunieXTidus on April 30, 2011, 12:58:58 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus(I'm not sure there's really a 'playful' way to do that xD)

Amy: (teasing, sultry tone) Doctor, Doctor, if you don't settle down I may have to prescribe some bedrest for you.

Dax: Oh, Kira will have an aneurism. She's been dying to get me to date for years.

So what about you? How's your night?

nextguardian on April 30, 2011, 1:01:59 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI would guess light biting, maybe? (Shrugs)

Bashir: I won't object, unless I'll be alone in bed...

Holmes: (laughs) I could see that. Maybe with us dating, Kira and Odo will finally hook up.

It's better now. My day was miserable, thanks to work. But, I'm over it now, and happy, relaxing at home.

YunieXTidus on April 30, 2011, 1:12:43 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD I suppose so.

Amy: What sort of doctor do you take me for?! I couldn't leave my patient alone, not as restless as he is. How else would he expend all that extra energy? (winks at him)

Dax: It's possible. He's been in love with her for as long as I can remember. Maybe once he sees all of us pairing off, he'll finally bolster up the courage to make his move.

Sorry to hear that, but glad it's better now!

nextguardian on April 30, 2011, 1:15:32 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: forgive me for questioning your skills. You obviously know what you're doing :)

Holmes: I'd double-date with them. I thought I was awkward when it came to this sort of thing. I think Odo and Kira would be downright amusing. And of course, we could steer them in the right direction.

Thanks :) The worst part- tomorrow I have worse teams to referee -_-' Plus an early morning. Ugh -_-'

YunieXTidus on April 30, 2011, 1:21:51 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: Forgiven. (kisses him sweetly) Of course! I have excellent bedside manner.

Dax: You could give Odo little prods, and I could drop some hints for Kira... It's so much fun playing Cupid.

:( Call in sick! (jk, jk)

nextguardian on April 30, 2011, 1:23:41 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: You certainly do. I'm glad you're in the infirmary with me...during work or play.

Holmes: You know, that sounds like fun. But you've got to get a holo-image of Kira's reaction!

If I wasn't so greedy, I might XD College makes people greedy.

YunieXTidus on April 30, 2011, 1:27:23 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: (smiles) Me too. You know, I originally started out in the command track.

Dax: (laughing) I'll see what I can do.

xD I'll remember that. You could always moonlight as a host... ;)

nextguardian on April 30, 2011, 1:34:17 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: Really? What made you turn to medicine?

Holmes: All the world loves a lover, Jadzia. Maybe the simple example of us being together will be enough. (grins) Man, I haven't been in such a good mood since...(blushes) last night.

lmao! Well, I DO have the lobes for business XD

YunieXTidus on April 30, 2011, 1:47:37 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: Well, most of my decision was based on the fact that my dad is in the command track. I don't want to feel like I'm 'following in his footsteps' my whole life.

Dax: (looks at him out of her peripheral vision) You know, you're cute when you blush.

Oh, the lobes? It's all about the ears, man. xD

nextguardian on April 30, 2011, 1:50:26 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: I can appreciate that. And good thing- you've got a knack for medicine. Healing must come easy to you.

Holmes: (blushes more) Good thing I find many occasions to blush, then. (smiles) You're naturally beautiful; don't change a thing. I admit, I am a sucker for ponytails.

lmao, I've been looking for an excuse to use that phrase XD

I'll be back in 20 mins or so.

YunieXTidus on April 30, 2011, 2:00:01 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: It came as a surprise to me, mostly. If my friend hadn't gone and tried to go shuttle-surfing, and I hadn't been there, he'd probably be dead and I'd probably be wearing a different uniform. And I definitely wouldn't be here.

Dax: Oh, is that so? Good thing you told me now; I'd been thinking about cutting it. (teasing)

xD I'm sure you have! ;P

'Kay. I'll be here. Also, I'm working on a 'character sketch' of Amy.

nextguardian on April 30, 2011, 2:29:45 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: Ohh, that is a brutal incident. What in blazes possessed him to do something like that?

Holmes: I'm sure you'd look beautiful regardless. I'm very fond of the person attached to the ponytail, after all.

I've already managed to use one of Quark's lines (substitutting the name of whoever it was I was insulting):
Okay, he's an idiot. He couldn't find a cup of water if you dropped him in a lake.

Ohh, cool! I can't wait to see that!

YunieXTidus on April 30, 2011, 2:35:49 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: Well, I really don't know. He's usually so calm and rational... Not that day. I don't know what got in to him.

Dax: You know, Daniel, I think it would be interesting to see what you look like with a ponytail.

xD That's awesome. I need to use the one about rom. "Rom's an idiot. He couldn't fix a straw if it was bent."

It's looking good so far! I'm just having to use one of Jadzia's pictures as a reference for the uniform. I can never quiiiite remember how the collar cut goes.

nextguardian on April 30, 2011, 2:39:34 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: Well, we all have a wild streak now and then. I once went streaking across the Starfleet Medical campus at midnight on a dare.

Holmes: My hair doesn't grow that way, or I'd try it. My hair never gets any longer; it just grows out, for some reason. I'd love to try it, though.

That's one of my favorites. I can imitate almost anyone in the ST series, but Janeway and Odo...I can't quite get their voices down...

The collar cut is odd. I have trouble remembering exactly where the blue/red/gold part of the jumpsuit starts, especially in relation to the commbadge.

YunieXTidus on April 30, 2011, 2:44:25 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: (shocked, unable to speak for a moment) I... Uh... (giggles) Now that is something I'd have to see in person.

Dax: Well, you have to have a certain kind of hair... and a certain face-shape, to be able to pull off a ponytail as a man.

xD Odo is very nasally. I'm also great with imitations. Especially facial ones. Do you remember the episode where Riker gets like, kidnapped by the alien kid and 'wakes up' in one of the kid's scenarios, supposedly 16 years after the event? His epic face when they cut to the commercial... I can imitate that perfectly. It's a bit of an inside joke with me and my mom. If anything dramatic happens in a show we're watching, I turn to her suddenly and make that face, and she busts up laughing.

YunieXTidus on April 30, 2011, 1:48:08 PM

nextguardianBashir: You're forgiven. And maybe so, but it's much better with someone else...medically, speaking, of course.

Holmes: If you pull my shirt off here, I'll turn that lovely shade of pink you're so fond of...

True. But man, she is funny, though!
Oh! I just saw Chief O'Brien in ConAir. I had no idea he was in that movie!

YunieXTidus on April 29, 2011, 2:52:49 PM

YunieXTidusAmy: (reaches up to press a kiss to his neck) Of course, dear, of course.

Dax: When you put it that way, how can I resist? (pulls his shirt off)

xD This is getting funnier and funnier. If Holmes doesn't watch it, he's going to get arrested for public indecency. And I have no idea what movie that is.

lol, then he and Dax could have a hot little jail scene together...XD

Holmes: Funny...I was just about to say that to you. (takes her hands) How about a walk by the water?

Yeah, I would XD

His part in the movie is really cool, too. On the small-medium side, but really funny. It's a good movie.

YunieXTidus on April 29, 2011, 3:20:38 PM

I'll have to take a look at it. Atm I'm watching Harry Potter 7 part 1.

Holmes: I always daydreamed about walking by the water with the girl I was in love with. (Doesn't realize what he said until it's too late)

Holmes is such a romantic. That part of Yuji is definitely still in Holmes.

It's a pretty entertaining movie. Harry Potter is too, though, for sure.

YunieXTidusAmy: Oh, Julian, you flatter me. (blushes and looks away, embarrassed)

Actually, yes.I'm very much the type to attempt to do things the romantic way.

I know what you mean. Although I admit, I was a bigger fan of the books than the movies.

YunieXTidus on April 29, 2011, 3:50:00 PM

YunieXTidusAmy: Well, I'm glad you think so. (Wriggles out of his grasp,only to lean up and kiss I'm sweetly)

Dax: (smiles) I'm really glad to hear you say that, Daniel. (Tugs his hand and kisses him when he stops)

I'm a totally hopeless romantic.

Well, what does it for me is to put them on different shelves in your mind and not compare them. They're both absolutely brilliant, as separate entities. But the books were phenomenal.

nextguardian on April 29, 2011, 3:58:21 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: You just seem to force the right words to come out of my mouth.

Holmes: (Kisses her) You mean I didn't just make a fool out of myself?

Same here. Holmes and Yuji will both see a lot of those sorts of opportunities for that reason.

Ah, for me, it's just because I'm not much of a movie person. Some things I'll watch, like Resident Evil or Terminator. They aren't well suited to books. I'm just a book person. I've got my big, comfy recliner situated near my window for just that reason.
I do enjoy both, though. Don't get me wrong. The HP movies are really well done.

YunieXTidus on April 30, 2011, 3:52:05 AM

YunieXTidusAmy: That isn't all I'll force out of your mouth latter tonight. (Saucy wink)

YunieXTidusHaha s'okay. I've gone and fallen asleep on you several times, so I can't particularly complain. ;P

Amy: Mm, is that so? I thought that was you.

Dax: It tans along with the rest of your skin. As your skin gets darker, so do the spots.

xD Well, it's hard to get out of that when you become so immersed in it for so long.

nextguardianlol, true enough.

Bashir: Well...maybe both of us (big grin).

Holmes: Huh. That's an interesting effect. (Kisses her forehead) Your spots are so smooth...

It really is. So I'm going to make it a point to make them different.

YunieXTidusAmy: (referring to the massage) I guess it pays to date a doctor... You know your way around the human physiology (if that's the right word?) quite well.

Dax: (closes her eyes and leans in) Well, the pigment is below the skin. It wouldn't affect the texture of the skin...

Well, Dan is definitely more courageous than his Naruto counterpart. Has much better luck, too! ;)

He's more career focused, too. Amy is very different from Hisako, I think.

YunieXTidus on April 29, 2011, 1:32:47 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: (mimicks his tone) Well, they certainly paid off. Now, could you go just a bit lower?

Dax: Mm... If I say yes, will you follow them all the way down?

It's good to hear that, but I'm curious, what makes you say it?

nextguardian on April 29, 2011, 1:39:47 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: (Obliges happily; at her lower back) Is this right? OR did you say higher.

Holmes: I'd love nothing better...

She's more brisk than Hisako, I think. More energetic, and slightly more diplomatic with what she says. And British :)

YunieXTidus on April 29, 2011, 1:45:36 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: Mm, just a tiny bit lower...

Dax: We may have to excuse ourselves if you keep this up, Daniel...

xD Only SLIGHTLY British! She just has a hint of a British accent.

Also, I'm trying to think of a way that Keogh would compare the Odyssey to the Enterprise, trying to persuade her that the Odyssey is better, and more worthy of a transfer.

nextguardianBashir: Oh, did you say higher? Am I hot or cold? (massaging her shoulders)

Holmes: I don't think they'll notice...They're one short step away from it themselves.

lol, okay. Still something that Hisako doesn' have. XD

Maybe instead of the ship, you could have Keogh compare himself to Picard. Make himself out to be superior to Picard (which could also have the effect of irritating Amy).

YunieXTidus on April 29, 2011, 1:58:15 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: Don't you play games with me, Julian Bashir. Although... (considers, her eyes drifting closed) This is also very nice. Hot, Julian. You're always hot.

Dax: (looks over at the others, then laughs) Well, I'll be. Maybe all of us should just call it a day and retreat to our quarters.

Mm, that's a great idea! That would definitely rile Amy up. Not that she could smart off to a man like Keogh without getting her record tarnished for life. xD

nextguardian on April 29, 2011, 2:00:18 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: What games? You know I'm innocent! (chuckles, then leans his weight on her gently so his chest is against her back). Maybe you shouldn't tease me...

Holmes: I wouldn't object to that, either.

I just don't know how you would compare the Enterprise and the Odyssey. There's just too many similiarities and not enough info about the Odyssey.

YunieXTidus on April 29, 2011, 2:04:28 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: Oh, Julian, you can't even begin to talk to me about teasing... You're a hazard to women everywhere.

Dax: (chuckles, then leans in to kiss his jaw gently) I know you wouldn't, dear.

Yeah. I've got something, but it kind of took away my opportunity to explain the situation that lead to her dad reassigning her to DS9.

“We still keep in touch,” the captain went on as if Amy hadn’t spoken. “He never stops talking about you. He’d never admit it to you, Amelia, but he’s really proud of all you’ve been able to accomplish in your short time at Starfleet. Which is why it’s all the more important to do your best at Deep Space Nine. Prove to him that one little mishap won’t keep you from your goals. He expects great things from you. We all do. And who knows? Maybe someday you’ll get to serve on a real starship. Have you ever thought about serving on the Odyssey? Picard, he’s a great man, but he’s gotten soft with old age. Between you and me, I’m not sure he has what it takes to command a starship out there on the frontier. Out there you have to make snap decisions, hard choices. You can’t let your emotions get in the way; you have to be willing to sacrifice a few lives for the greater good. Picard does not fit that bill.”

nextguardian on April 29, 2011, 2:12:00 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: Am I really? I don't meant to be. There's only one woman I want to be a hazard to...well, that didn't come out right, but you get the point.

Holmes: Mmm...my spots seem to be tingling. Some sort of silent Trill mating call?

After reading that, I think you could probably hold off on explaining her situation in detail until later. That fits the bill so perfectly imho. That's really good stuff. Perfect for the situation.

YunieXTidus on April 29, 2011, 2:18:42 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: (laughs) Should I be worried for my safety?

Dax: Hmm... That sounds about right. (brushes her lips across the spots on his forehead) Does that help?

Yeah, I was thinking that she'd be talking with Jadzia or Dan at Quark's about why she was assigned here, and her anger at her father would come spilling out and she'd launch into the story.

xD I know! I think he voice acted one of the characters in Toy Story. The dinosaur, if I'm right. Sorry AGAIN about dozing off last night. xDDD You and I seem to be developing a pattern.

Holmes: Don't worry; you know I'm too shy to try anything like that anyway.

You know, I think you're right. That voice is pretty distinctive.
What about Garak? He's gotten to be one of my favorites.

Don't worry about it :)

YunieXTidus on April 29, 2011, 7:33:16 AM

YunieXTidusAmy: (around a mouthful of strawberry) Mhm. (discreetly takes one hand and starts trailing her fingers across his lower back)

Dax: well, I'm sure you could be...persuaded.

Hmm. I don't remember much about garak.

YunieXTidus on April 29, 2011, 9:52:35 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAlso, I'm trying to work in Keogh's speech to Amy about how her father was amazing and great things are expected of her. But I feel like there just isn't enough to it. If that makes sense. Here's what I have for it:


The shuttle touched off, rising slowly from the landing pad. As they made their slow ascent into space, the monologue that Amy had feared began.

“You know, Amelia, your father and I served together on the Odyssey for years, before he got promoted. I’ve never met a more honorable, dedicated man. He accomplished many great things, even before his appointment to Admiral. He rose to every challenge presented to him and always went above and beyond the call of duty. It was an honor to serve with him.”

“Thank you, sir, I’m sure that means a lot to him,” Amy provided, unsure what else to say.

“We still keep in touch,” the captain went on as if Amy hadn’t spoken. “He never stops talking about you. He’d never admit it to you, Amelia, but he’s really proud of all you’ve been able to accomplish in your short time at Starfleet. Which is why it’s all the more important to do your best at Deep Space Nine. He expects great things from you. We all do. And who knows? Maybe someday you’ll get to serve on a real starship. (insert slanted comparison of the Odyssey to the Enterprise here).”

nextguardian on April 29, 2011, 9:55:22 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat's all very solid. Maybe you could point out some big thing her father supposedly did. Like he saved some crew memeber, or took the helm in an emergency and save the lives of the crew. It might be a good chance to build on Amy's history a bit indirectly.

nextguardian on April 29, 2011, 9:57:37 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: (Shifts comfortably) Are you comfortable, my dear?

Holmes: Well, you ARE hard to say no to.

Ah, well then, that's a question for another time.

YunieXTidus on April 29, 2011, 10:01:52 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: (looks up at him innocently while her fingers skim across the waistband of his shorts) Of course, Julian. You have a very comfortable lap. Are you comfortable? (impish grin)

Dax: I'll keep that in mind. (michevious tone)

I'll get there eventually. xD

nextguardian on April 29, 2011, 10:11:15 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: VERY comfortable (voice breaks on 'very' as he feels her touch)

Holmes: (Smiles) You do that.

No rush ^^

Oh, and for your segment from before, in addition to what I already said, maybe you could add a hint of why Amy is sent to DS9. Like when he mentions that it's important she do well, she could think about how she got there, then flash back to the present.

YunieXTidus on April 29, 2011, 10:26:48 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: Your heart rate seems to have fine up. Are you sure you're quite alright?

Dax: so, Daniel, tell me a little about yourself.

Yes, that's a great idea!

nextguardian on April 29, 2011, 10:36:03 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: I don't know...how about feeling my heartbeat? (Puts her hand on his chest)

Holmes: Well, let's see...I'm kind of a nerd for all things Vulcan. Um, I enjoy martial arts, and I'm very into my career...and any relationship that may come along. What about you, Jadzia?

:D

YunieXTidus on April 29, 2011, 10:57:01 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: (pauses to feel with one hand while the other is still tracing his lower back) It's definitely elevated. I think you need to stop by the infirmary later so I can have a better look at you.

Jadzia: Well, if I told you 'a little' about myself, we'd be here for days.

:D to you!

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: well, if you insist...and even if you don't...(whispers to her) Dax really brought Holmes out of his shell, didn't she?

Holmes: True. Then, tell me about Jadzia. You personally. What do you like? I need to know so that I can give you everything you want...

XD, then!

YunieXTidus on April 29, 2011, 11:52:22 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: She really has. I wonder how things would have turned out if he hadn't met her that first day.

Dax: Well, Daniel, I don't want I want. Then what would be the point in wanting? Although right now, I want you to put some moisturizer on my legs.

XD to Holmes. That was sweet, borderline creepy.

nextguardianBashir: (nibbling at her neck) I promise you, he would be in Ops 24/7. You'd have to pry his data padd from his cold, dead hands to stop him.

Holmes: Of course. (Applies it gently, rubbing her legs) Amy really settled down, didn't she?

Yeah, a little XD

YunieXTidus on April 29, 2011, 12:01:25 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: (closes her eyes, enjoying the sensation) I suppose you're right. She really saved him from a lonely, lonely life.

Dax: She used to be so wary of everyone, always on the defense. Now look at her. It's nice to see her so at ease, even if it's just with a few people.

xD I love how each party is talking about each other.

If somebody said that to me, I'd be a liiiiiitle worried. ;)

nextguardian on April 29, 2011, 12:04:25 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: Indeed. And Dax seems happy, too. (Slightly sad)

Holmes: (still applying studiously) and Bashir seems happier for it, too. (Obviously feels guilty about winning with Jadzia)

It's interesting this way^^

True enough. I didn't phrase what I meant well.

YunieXTidus on April 29, 2011, 12:12:24 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAlso, that was supposed to read "i don't want everything I want." Not, "i don't want I want." xD Oops.

Amy: (pulls away to look at him) You're not still hung up on her, are you?

Dax: Yes, he does. I don't think he realized how lonely he was. Don't worry about Julian, Daniel. The fact that I didn't choose him had nothing to do with you. I'm just glad you came along when you did. (smiles, then shifts her weight to provide him with more skin to moisturize)

It is.

Nah, it kind of... fits him. xD Which is sad, in its own rite.

nextguardian on April 29, 2011, 12:19:50 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt's okay; I got the gist.

Bashir: No. I'm with YOU. But I can't help but wonder...you liked me right away. Why didn't she? (Shakes his head) Now, are you jealous? Do YOU need a massage?

Holmes: (Continues his work, lol) I...don't mean to pry, Jadzia, but...(Shakes head) nevermind.
IT was supposed to seem more caring and less creepy XD

YunieXTidus on April 29, 2011, 12:35:55 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD Good. I reread that and I was like WTF me = idiot!

Amy: Well, you're very confident about who you are, and where you fit into the world. Maybe she wasn't looking for that. (straightens and turns around, deflecting the question marvelously) Well, since you're offering...

Dax: (sits up a little, looking at Dan) No, go ahead. What is it, Daniel?

xD It's okay. It was funny!

nextguardian on April 29, 2011, 12:39:42 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNah, it's all good. As you know, I make more than my share of errors.

Bashir: Happy to oblige you, miss. (works on her back)

Holmes: I...can't help but feel a little guilty. (smiles a little forlornly) I was the guy back at the academy who, if he had a crush, but saw someone else with the same crush...I was the one who would back off without a fight. It's just...I know what he (Bashir) must be feeling. ...(hugs Dax tightly) It makes me appreciate you all the more.

And only partly stalker-ish! XD

Dark chocolate is definitely good. I agree there. Milk chocolate is best with peanut butter.

YunieXTidusAmy: Yes, Doctor, I do think you're right. I'm sure you have some sort of remedy for me.

Dax: (moves her hand slightly higher on his thigh) You're imaginative, aren't you, Daniel?

It depends on the vegetable. I hate most green things. The only green things I can stand are raw broccoli, peas, and the green beans that you get at a chinese restaurant. As for fruit, I can eat most any kind of fruit. My favorites are strawberries, peaches, and watermelon.

It's about the same for me. Although I can eat just about any vegetable that's stir-fried.

nextguardianBashir: Well, that depends on what you consider 'strenuous'. I would say at least 3 hours, if we had that kind of time (mischievious smile)

Holmes: I'm imagining a few things right now. Such as...(picks her up and puts her in his lap. Looks a little odd because she's taller than him, but he's apparently uncaring). Much better.

I'm picky depending on what it is. Fish, for example, I can only eat a few ways. Beef, though, I get along with easier. Pineapple is amazing.

YunieXTidus on April 28, 2011, 11:55:23 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: Oh, at least. In fact, I might need a second dose immediately following the first. (same smile) (gives Holmes and Dax a weird look) You guys do know you have company, right?

Dax: (puts her arms around his neck) This works for me.

Same for me! I can't have fish very often. Most of the time it just isn't flavorful enough, and I get tired of it really easily. Also xD to Dan. Pineapple is incredible. I can never get enough pineapple.

nextguardian on April 28, 2011, 11:59:54 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: A second dose, huh? I'm certainly up for that. Amy, dear, you shouldn't gawk at them. Besides, we aren't much better with these double entendres, now are we? (smiles)

Holmes: (Gives her an affectionate cuddle). You need your strength, too, come to think. (Orders Azna bits). Okay, since the good doctor here is feeding his date, it must be healthy. (pops an azna bit into her mouth)

Sisko: Well, this certainly looks cozy (serious expression)

I'm not a big fan of fish, either. I can eat sushi, and I'm good with fried, but I don't like baked or breaded. Pineapple and cherries for me.

Oh, I decided how Dan gets his spots! But I'm not going to tell you yet :p XD

I don't particularly care for cherries. Cherry-flavoured, maybe.

Sisko: (Smiles) Well, it's about time you hooked up with someone, old man!

Ah, I get that. I have the same problem with fish, or with, say, a mango.

Yes, I hate biting into a mango! Blegh.

Sisko: Dax, you won't get anywhere with Ensign Holmes unless you make the first move. Kiss him. That's an order. Duty shift starts in 30 mins- don't be late.

It's just...it feels like it should be more firm or something.

Holmes: (Enjoying the kiss, big-time)

Sisko: (grins) Congratulations, all of you. I'm glad to see that we're all getting along so well. (Leaves to go to Ops)

Holmes: Are you sure that was okay, Jadzia? I honestly can't tell when the Commander is joking...
Not that I honestly care much at this point.

lol, I still feel guilty. Maybe I will share a little bit...but not the spot thing.

Bashir: Listen, Dax, I just…I have to know.
Dax: what, Julian? (inquisitive)
Bashir: Well…why did you…why did you give him a shot…but not me?
Dax:…Julian, you’re a sweet guy, and you’re already successful in your own rite. Holmes is more of a…well, he needs the attention. I was just being nice at first, to help him fit in. He’s coming here without your accomplishments, and without the respect you command. And I…just really had a good time with him. That’s all there is to it.

YunieXTidus on April 28, 2011, 12:56:34 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: Well, now that I'm already here, no need to waste energy better spent on... other things. (wriggles into a more comfortable position in Julian's lap)

Dax: Don't worry, Daniel. I know Benjamin almost better than he does.

Haha for a moment, I was afraid that what you were 'sharing' was part of our above conversation. I was like, Amy will have a few choice words for Julian, asking that in her presence. xD But I think that'll be an interesting encounter.

nextguardian on April 28, 2011, 12:59:23 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: We're in agreement on that (cups an arm around her back)

Holmes: Well, that's good. So...I'm not wearing anything under my uniform (lmao!) Or does that only work when girls do it? You've been both, after all...

Oh, no, I was just jotting it down and not really filling it out. It occured to me that it might make sense for Bashir to feel something about that situation, so he'd confront Dax.

YunieXTidus on April 28, 2011, 1:06:34 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: (Snorts with laughter at Holmes) Why don't you two just skip the... foreplay, if that's the right word for what you two are doing. (bursts into another round of laughter)

Dax: (Interested tone) Well, Daniel, I'd say it works with both genders.

Yeah, it makes sense. I could see him nursing a tiny bit of a grudge for Holmes about that for a while. Until things get good with Amy! ;)

Holmes: (smiles) I'm glad to hear that. You're pretty cute when you blush. (smirks, knowing he's going to hear plenty about that comment, consider how red his face is)

That's impressive no matter how you know it imho.

YunieXTidusAmy: You're joking! That's my favorite cookie! I can never say no to a Milano. Or two. Or the whole bag. (xD so true)

Jadzia: Isn't there an old earth saying about the pot calling the kettle black, Daniel? Although I must say, you're much cuter when you blush.

xD I KNOW. He's amazing.

nextguardianBashir: They really are a delectable little treat. I'm pretty sure my tennis matches with Chief O'Brien are keeping me in shape. Do you play, Amy?

Holmes: I really did set myself up for that one, but that's alright. With eight lifetimes, you're a good person to banter with.

Milanos are seriously good, aren't they. Crap, I'm getting hungry now.

Yeah, pretty much. Let's see...pistachios, chips, cookies...I'm just getting it all out on the table now (figuratively, not literally).

YunieXTidus on April 27, 2011, 2:15:59 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: I wouldn't mind in the least, but are you sure you can keep up? I'm a quick study and I have a lot of stamina.

Dax: no, dear, it's just you. (moves her hand up a tiny bit higher) well, I have my days.

Omg I love pistachios!

nextguardianOk. Oh, and you've got mail!

Holmes: Good morning, Doctor. Sleep well.

Bashir: Yes, albeit a bit lonely, if you get my drift.

Holmes: Indeed I do. And- wow. Look at that pair.

(indicates Amy and Jadzia)

YunieXTidus on April 27, 2011, 12:32:34 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusReading it now. :D

(said pair already deep in conversation)

Amy: So how are you and Daniel getting along?

Jadzia: Oh, just fine. He's a really sweet guy. Although his shyness can be a bit of an inhibitor, if you catch my meaning.

Amy: Ah, I do, indeed. I'm sorry to hear that. He just needs a bit of prodding. I can't say Julian has that problem.

nextguardian on April 27, 2011, 12:36:31 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI bey you'll lol.

Bashir: Well, good morning, ladies. Can we join you?

Holmes: Good morning, Lt. Good morning, Ensign. (All crisp and formal, nodding his head as he greets them)

Bashir: (My God, the man is a right idiot sometimes)

YunieXTidus on April 27, 2011, 12:45:04 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI am already. xD

Amy: Of course, Julian. (scoots over to make room for him, her whole demeanor becoming warmer)

Jadzia: Good morning, Daniel. (gives him a bright smile before grabbing his uniform sleeve and dragging him down into the chair)

nextguardian on April 27, 2011, 12:47:19 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYou'll lol harder, trust me.

Bashir: You seem like you got a good nights sleep, Ensign Collins. You're bright eyed and bushy tailed this morning!

Holmes: (Sits down roughly) You look nice today, Lt. (nervous smile) How was the gamma shift?

YunieXTidus on April 27, 2011, 12:56:25 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: Well, Doctor, those sedatives you prescribed did wonders for me. I feel like a new woman. (cheeky grin)

Jadzia: (trying not to laugh) You don't look so bad yourself, Ensign. Nothing out of the ordinary.

xD Okay, the spots, the spots! xDDD And I love that Sisko gave him a thumbs up. That's awesome. The whole turbolift meeting was great. xD that's great.

nextguardian on April 27, 2011, 1:00:39 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: I'm glad they worked. But I had a few ideas I wanted to *experiment* with, to see if they help you sleep better.

Holmes: (mock disappoint) My spots don't look more full today?

I had fun with that. If I did finally let the poor guy have some action, there had to be some strings attached!

YunieXTidus on April 27, 2011, 1:05:41 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: Well, I'd be more than happy to stop by your quarters after my shift so we can get started right away.

Jadzia: Oh, no, if anything they look even more prominent than before. (runs a single finger from his temple, following the trail of spots to where it disappeared below his uniform)

I thought it was awesome. xD He'd look so cute with spots.

nextguardian on April 27, 2011, 1:13:01 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBashir: Ah, perfect. Though perhaps we all might meet for some dinner first? As gentleman, Holmes and I wouldn't think of letting you girls get the bill. Does everyone here eat Klingon?

Holmes: (Smiles) Your spots are particularly lusturous (sp) today, I think. Is that a new hair band? (fingers her ponytail). And I think Jul- er, Dr. Bashir has a point.

I've been working on a way to give him spots, at least for one episode.

YunieXTidus on April 27, 2011, 1:18:29 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: Actually, I'm quite allergic to most Klingon dishes, I'm afraid.

Jadzia: (smiles) New to you. I haven't worn it in a while. I'm up for anything, provided Amy's immune system agrees. (everyone laughs)

(gentlemen, plural) (lustrous)

nextguardianBashir: Well then...I know! How about a holosuite picnic at Quark's? There's Risa, the desert of Veridian III...

Holmes: It compliments you nicely, Lieutenant. I'm game for a picnic, Doctor. Minus ants. I guess they were some old earth pest...

(On both counts: D'oh. I could spell better before I took college english, for some reason. I seriously used to be really good.)

YunieXTidus on April 27, 2011, 1:33:40 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: As long as somebody brings the jammie dodgers!

Dax: You know, Daniel, those spots are really starting to grow on me. (err, no pun intended) You thought about keeping them, maybe?

Lol totally okay. It happens to the best of us. Also, jammie dodgers; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jammy_Dodgers

Holmes: (Shrugs out of the top of his jumpsuit; kisses her neck sweetly) beautiful, smart, and sweet? You, Jadzia Dax, are perfect.

I figured he's the type to say something like that.

lol, well, I make him only slightly more pathetic than myself, of course XD and lmao at Jadzia. I could see her smiling sweetly as she said that.

If this gets any hotter, we should move to PM. Not that I think we'll get super serious here, but just in case of younger folks reading.

YunieXTidus on April 26, 2011, 5:13:59 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusMy goodness, indeed. xD This is just awesome. I can't stop laughing. First at that I can actually see Amy and Julian's interaction actually happening. Second, because Holmes is so cliche lame/pathetic/cute. xDD

Here, give me 5 minutes to get caught up (with the story transfer) and I'll email what I have. Then we can split it up; you take Holmes and Dax and I'll take Julian and Amy. xD Knowing you, SOMETHING will happen and poor Holmes won't get any... again.

nextguardian on April 26, 2011, 5:15:20 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt really is. For the record, if I put Holmes and Dax together in the fic like this, please reach through the computer screen and slap me for being stupid, and tell me to put it in a one-shot, because Holmes shouldn't be THAT lame in the real thing!

Sure, that sounds fine to me :)

Crud. Now I feel guilty...
XD

YunieXTidus on April 26, 2011, 5:31:17 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOkay, so I -nearly- lost it at Bashir's "old man" and "feisty one." BY THE WAY, Bashir is only 34! ..... Okay, so they're 10 years apart. I guess he has valid reason to call himself an "old man." Shut up, I feel stupid now. xD

But I definitely snorted when I read Holmes' response. You're talking to yourself. You know, that's the first sign of insanity? They call it schizophrenia. Or... multiple personality disorder. Or both. Who knows. You need to go see a psychiatrist, at any rate.

nextguardian on April 26, 2011, 5:34:06 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAh. But at our point in the series, Bashir is only 27! So, you're good :)

And for the second bit, allow me to respond in the following way:
Tell me something I don't know!

nextguardianThat makes Holmes and Dax (at my estimation) about three to five years apart. At least, that's what I'm going with.

nextguardianYes indeed, this could get a bit spicy, I suppose. I'm having fun with this. And the way I'm writing it, it could probably be reused at some point in the regular story.

Sure thing, friend. I'm close myself. I'm just going to finish up a bit more, then I'm going to pass out myself. Have a good night!

Bashir: Sleep well. If you need a...sedative...you know where to find me. (Winks)

YunieXTidusAmy: Well... (blushes and bats her eyes demurely) I can get a bit... territorial. But I do take a bit of coaxing, sir.

That would be hysterical! This whole thing is hysterical.
I've got to log off for a short while. If you're here when I get back, we can continue. If not, want to pick this up tomorrow. (Please say yes- for Holmes' sake! XD)

Lol Kira. Quark just said, "Maybe we could discuss these new... regulations... over dinner?" *places hand on her hip*

Kira looks pissed and says quietly, "If you don't take that hand off my hip, you'll never be able to raise a glass with it again."

Quark removes it slowly and when she walks away says, "Oooh, I love a woman in uniform," with a pervy face. xDDD I just busted a gut.

YunieXTidusVeoh doesn't have it, Hulu doesn't have it... Netflix doesn't stream it instantly, you have to wait for each disc, and each season has like, 8 discs. Fml.

I wish I just had 30 x 7 dollars so I could buy the whole season in one fell swoop. But sadly, no, I'm poor. xD

nextguardianI rely on the boxsets, but I'm also not the only fan so I can justify the cost more easily. Although it isn't that bad if you go through Amazon. I order new because I'm a collector, but you can get them used for much less.

YunieXTidusHey, hey, don't insult my- I mean, Amy's- man! He's not scrawny, he's wiry. And I object to the term "quack" when referring to Julian Bashir. Hmmph.

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: You can try, but I am a Collins, Holmes. There is no way you can lay a hand on my Bashir without sustaining life-threatening injuries. Remember, I'm a medic. I know how to life-threateningly injure.

nextguardianHolmes: Well, I majored in security before I was accepted to the command track. And...wait, wait, we're going about this all wrong. You want Bashir; I want Dax. So, duh, we each go to the one we're after and talk them in to being with us instead!

YunieXTidus on April 26, 2011, 2:26:16 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAmy: Sounds good to me. But if you even think about coming after Bashir, just remember that I am trained to kill. Besides, if he so much as looks at Jadzia, I'll kill him myself. (evil smirk)

Bashir: *gulp*

Holmes: Oh, of course! I was so caught up in threatening these two that it didn't occur to me. I promise that I'm not always such an airhead. I just get a bit...girl shy.

YunieXTidus on April 26, 2011, 2:52:05 PM

YunieXTidusAwesome! Good to have you back. Well, we've only got one chapter up so far, but it's 5500+ words. xD NG got a liiiitle wordy. I'm working on MY pilot episode, but I'm a bit slower than he.

andr28aNG has good attention to detail so I think that why it is wordy. But he is good at writing his fics so its not a big deal with how big the chapter is.

nextguardianIt could fit in there nicely, but it's your call. Without sharing the thing because it's too incomplete:
-Holmes has a major surge of emotion at night. He freaks out, afraid he'll do something to hurt himself, and gives in on his 'I don't take meds' policy and goes to the infirmary just as Bashir is leaving.
-Bashir is going to give him a special drug, but it will take a while to synthesize, and he would prefer to wait until morning. He suggests Holmes go to Ops with Dax.
-After that, Holmes thanks Bashir and they're better friends, but he still avoids the infirmary a lot, even when it's obvious he's suffering.

YunieXTidus on April 26, 2011, 10:54:01 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat sounds like it'll be fun to toy with.

I'm not sure how to shift Bashir's affections towards Amy without it being too sudden.

nextguardian on April 26, 2011, 10:58:28 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI hope so. It should have a nice spider web effect of making everyone aware that Holmes likes Dax, and therefore people can decide what they think about that. I've already got Bashir's reaction planned, and Kira's too.
But the big question for me is to how to make sure their romance is a side attraction, with whatever story we're doing as the main event. I want to make sure there's suspense involved, in wahtever direction I take it. Do you have any suggestions? Or if you see romance start to take over too much, how about doing something British to let me know? I admit that I don't understand British humor, despite my best efforts.

I think you were on the right track with having it start out as a casual round of drinks between friends. If you want, you can have Holmes wind up being the inbetween guy. Or...or you could have their relationship be a secret from everyone else on the ship, until something reveals it, and then you could do the whole story.

YunieXTidus on April 26, 2011, 11:08:39 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusDoing something British to let you know? xD I'm not entirely sure what that even means.

Yeah, I may just have him take her out for a drink every now and then, and she decides she likes him and gets him to take her on a date or two. Then the 'incident.' Then they make up and it's official! xD

nextguardian on April 26, 2011, 11:11:41 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYeah, I was just typing something non-sequitur. I've got no idea what it means either. XD How about just warning me if the romance outweighs the rest of it (unless that's the point of the episode, natch)

That would work. Bashir's a pretty friendly guy, so I could see him being friendly at first, and the more interested later.

YunieXTidus on April 26, 2011, 11:49:51 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusEverybody loves a little bit (and occasionally a lot) of romance! But yeah, I'll warn you, although I think you're good at keeping the balance.

Let's see...well, I had a clear picture of what I wanted to do with Holmes from the start. I had my bullet points:
-reluctant here
-model officer
-girl shy, but likes Dax
-Ensign
-Command track

and from there, I just picked out situation I liked. Boarding an enemy ship, fighting, doing some clever stuff, and there it was ^^

YunieXTidus on April 26, 2011, 12:22:09 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusMan. xD I wish I could do that. It takes me so long to think of stuff, and then longer to get them 'just so' on paper (or computer, whatever) and then come up with more. xDD

nextguardian on April 26, 2011, 12:27:31 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWhat I also do is break it down. For example, aside from the pilot, I don't have all my ideas in one episode. Holmes will be career-minded at one point, then worshipping Dax, then bonding with other crew members. Not everything happens at once. But I write it down and plan it out for the future do I don't feel like I'm wasting the ideas.

YunieXTidus on April 26, 2011, 12:47:36 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHere's all I've been able to add so far:


Keogh, who had been leaning against the shuttle, stood up when he caught sight of Amy, straightened his jacket with a tug, and strode over to her. Her pulse jumped and Amy dropped the duffel bag, snapping to attention. The Starfleet captain waved his hand in a dismissive gesture.

“As you were, Ensign. I’m sure you know who I am.”

“Uh, yes, sir! Captain Kkeogh, of the U.S. Odyssey, sir,” Amy stated, her anxiety barely concealed. Keogh chuckled, patting her on the shoulder.

“Relax, Ensign. You look like you’re about to be lined up before a firing squad,” he said laughingly before extending his hand. She took it after a moment’s hesitation, surprised at his firm grip. When he released her, she had to resist the urge to massage the blood back into her hand. “It’s a pleasure to finally meet you, Amelia. Your father has told me so much about you.”

“Thank you, sir, but the pleasure is mine,” she managed around a grimace. “You’re… something of a legend back at the Academy.”

A little ego-stroking can’t hurt, right? Especially with his type.

“Well, is that so,” Keogh said, preening his feathers. “Shall we be on our way, then?”

“Yes, sir,” she replied, scrambling into the shuttle after him.

“I’ll let you take the helm, Ensign. You won’t get much of a chance at it once you get to Deep Space Nine. It’s good to stretch your wings every now and then.”

nextguardianThere are a lot to choose from. My favorite is the one where Enterprise C comes through the time rift. That was in season 3 at some point. Although I was a huge fan of Tasha Yar. She died too quickly imho.

God, airport security would probably be pissed. With their new security policies, I bet I'd get fingered for my trouble. It would make for a hell of a story, though! I can see it now:

Stewardess: What can I get you...er...sir?
Me: Romulan Ale; with a twist.
Stewardess: stfu!

YunieXTidusLol I'd have to come with you to video all of this. That's just awesome.

Yes, I liked that one too. I like the one where Data is transported into the past and has to team up with Guinen to prevent his death. I think that was a two-part episode.

nextguardian on April 25, 2011, 1:40:06 PM

nextguardianI'm not 100% sure I won't do it. What the hell, right? People have done crazier things. And I bet I look damn sexy in a starfleet uniform! (I don't actually think that, but it made me lol as I typed it, so I thought I'd include it^^)

I also liked the alternate universe episode where the Enterprise is a warship instead of an exploration vessel.

YunieXTidus on April 25, 2011, 1:42:10 PM

YunieXTidus on April 25, 2011, 2:09:37 PM

YunieXTidusI just found it. Declan. xD

http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Keogh

Okay, I'm trying to take her father's misguided attempt at affection a step further, but I'm not sure if it's realistic.

On a favor to an 'old friend,' would it be realistic to have Keogh fly down the shuttle and take Amy to the Odyssey himself?

nextguardian on April 25, 2011, 2:12:06 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI would say so. That's a good chance for Keogh to say some stuff about how much he respects her father and how he expects great things from her. Keogh is a bit cocky, so he might say something like 'Maybe someday you'll get to be on a real ship. The Odyssey rivals the Enterprise, you know.'

YunieXTidus on April 25, 2011, 2:19:54 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI might just steal that. ;)

nextguardian on April 25, 2011, 2:21:23 PM

If memory serves, Keogh is brittish. He's not quite as eloquent when he speaks as Bashir. He speaks similar to Picard, with a more cocky edge.

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI just looked it up on youtube. You're right but it's sooo faint! xD And it doesn't even tell you where he's from. He could just be an aristocratic American.

nextguardian on April 25, 2011, 2:30:16 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat's true, he might be. I just remember commenting 'Geez, you have to be British to get a Galaxy-class starship or what?!'

I didn't backspace far enough -_- I had 'he's a Brit' at first, then tried to change that and just kept the extra T. Blah.

YunieXTidus on April 25, 2011, 2:32:49 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol totally okay. Everyone has those days.

Okay, this is all I've got so far (don't laugh at my slow progress xD, I keep getting distracted). But I'm not sure how to initiate the conversation between Keogh and Amy. Here goes:


“….Good luck.” The Admiral terminated the link, but Amy could have sworn she saw him blink back a few tears before his face was replaced with the Federation insignia.

Amy blinked back a few tears, herself, touched by her father’s unexpected display of emotion. She wiped her eyes with the sleeve of her bathrobe and headed to her closet. The doors swung open, and there hung her uniform, the turquoise shoulders contrasting sharply with the crisp black torso and pants. It came easily off the hanger, and she donned it hastily. Walking over to the floor-length mirror, steady fingers fastened the single pip onto her collar, designating her rank. She looked up at her messy, frazzled hair in disdain and quickly finger-combed out the braid, smoothing the flyaways before reaching up and expertly looping her hair together in a tight French-braid, the tail just barely touching her mid-back. Scooping up her Commbadge quickly, she pinned it on to her uniform, just above her heart.

Finally satisfied with her appearance, she smoothed the creases in her uniform anxiously, picked up her standard-issue duffel bag filled with her personal effects (that couldn’t easily be replicated) and walked out the door, locking it behind her.

--

When she got there, the shuttle had already landed, even though she wasn’t due for another thirty minutes. Amy caught sight of the pilot, and nearly fainted. It was… it appeared to be… Declan Keough, captain of theU.S. Odyssey! That meant three things. First, that the Odyssey was going to be her transport to DS9; second, that her father pulled some strings that he shouldn’t have; and third, that he talked to Keogh himself and convinced him to greet her in person. Normally, that would be a huge honour, and Amy would be lying to herself if she said she hadn’t always dreamed of seeing the inside of the Odyssey someday. How was she ever going to escape the “Admiral’s daughter” stigma if he kept treating her like she was special?

nextguardianFair enough; it'd be the same with Dax and I :0

Still, you'd think I might figure it out XD

And if they went beyond that. I could just see some light making out, and then Dax gets a little more into it, and plop goes the uniform to the ground, with Holmes not seeing it coming at all.
Dax: What's wrong, Daniel? (Totally relaxed about it)

Good question. I'd imagine he'd be debating that himself XD But that's what would make it so hilarious!

YunieXTidus on April 25, 2011, 10:25:15 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol I can see it now:

Amy: Take off your shirt.

Dan: W-what? Why?

Amy: Ugh, you're hopeless. I can't give you a proper massage if you have your shirt on. The fabric restricts my range of motion.

Dan: *super embarrassed*

Amy: Damn it, Holmes. I didn't want to have to do this. As your medical officer, I order you to take off your shirt.

Dan: Uh..... y-yes, sir.

(xDDDDD)

nextguardian on April 25, 2011, 10:28:19 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI would say that's about right. Okay, that's perfectly right. Then he'd stall:

Holmes: Well, let me just get my commbadge set to receive...you understand that if duty calls, I've got to go...

Amy: (eye roll) Noted. Now hurry up! Before I change my mind!

Holmes: (slows down)

Amy: This is an O-R-D-E-R. The next step is I have Constable Odo lock you up...

YunieXTidus on April 25, 2011, 10:30:22 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol is it the massage itself that frightens him, or the fact that it's a girl giving it to him?

nextguardian on April 25, 2011, 10:33:25 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBoth. I promise, he wouldn't be any more comfortable if it was a guy doing it, that's for sure. He's just terrified that a girl is paying attention to him and doesn't know quite how to react if it's not in a duty situation.

YunieXTidus on April 25, 2011, 10:37:44 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThen Amy would probably try to guilt trip him:

Amy: *eyeroll* Look, I came here to help you, from a medical standpoint, and as a friend. If all of my gestures of friendship are going to be rebuffed this way, then maybe I shouldn't offer them.

Dan: No, no! I'm just... *embarrassed blush*

Amy: *another eyeroll* I'm not here to ogle you, Holmes. Get over yourself and take off the damn shirt before I remove it for you.

nextguardian on April 25, 2011, 10:40:21 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat would work. Holmes would add something like:

Holmes: There now, all you had to do was phrase it as an order...*under his breath* and all but blackmail me into it...

Amy: (Massages harder than she needs to) Did you say something?

Holmes: No ma'am.

YunieXTidus on April 25, 2011, 10:42:45 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusBut I'm also sure he would see the reason in her suggestion. Massage therapy has been known to increase relaxation, as well as provide better sleep. It reduces stress, which seems to be the cause of his insomnia.

nextguardian on April 25, 2011, 10:48:10 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, he would. But he'd have to give her a hard time first. Mostly to make himself feel better. lol

I plan to elaborate on his medical condition in a later episode, when it'll be more important. Probably reminsicent to that Voyager episode with that Maquis lunatic who Tuvok works with.

YunieXTidus on April 25, 2011, 10:57:26 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOkay. I wasn't thinking about adding that until several chapters/episodes later. Speaking of, I got a little more one on my pilot, but I'm having trouble with something.

Once the Odyssey dropped out of warp and lowered their shields to beam Amy to DS9, I was thinking that a sister ship to the one that attacked Holmes would come around from behind a moon (or something) and attack them. This is where I was thinking that the chief medical officer would be killed, putting Amy in charge, but I'm trying to think of why they would aim at sickbay. What motive would terrorists have to blow up a sickbay? (since you're good at these things)

Also, does Dan meditate every night? I was thinking that maybe I could have Amy join him somehow every now and then, trying to cope with the stress of locating to a totally foreign area and such.

nextguardian on April 25, 2011, 11:06:03 AM

nextguardianThat's fine. It'll seem more realistic if Holmes and Amy have reason to be friends first, or for her to at least trust him.

I would say that, due to the proximity to the station necessary for the transport, and given the Odyssey's size, they wouldn't have much maneuvering room. Oh! I know! Maybe the terrorits aim for the station, and the Odyssey puts itself in the way to cover the station, and just happen to be hit hard on Sickbay because of the way they manuevered.
For the record, the vessel's captain is Captain Keough, and the registry for the ship is USS Odyssey NCC-71832, in case you need that.

He does, if he's off. I plan to make him an on-again, off-again Gamma shift officier, but most of the time, yes. That's a good idea.

YunieXTidus on April 25, 2011, 11:11:14 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusDo you think that that little ship (at least, I was under the impression it was little. I may need to reread your chapter.) would have enough firepower to knock their shields out?

It just seems like something he would do. Like, he's been observing her over her first few weeks at DS9 (non-creepily xD) and he noticed that she didn't seem to be coping well, and she seemed to be suffering from lack of sleep. So, after they get to know each other a bit, he offers to let her meditate with him, to see if that would help her.

nextguardian on April 25, 2011, 11:20:37 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt might actually be just slightly less than a match for the Odyssey. It's a warship- smaller than the Odyssey, but I believe the weapons and defense systems are slightly weaker. You could always explain them getting the drop on the Odyssey by having the tactical or operations officer say 'excess Neutrino particles from the wormhole temporarily disrupted our sensors! They snuck up on us!'.

No objection here. It does sound about right. I plan to have Holmes be a dork for all things Vulcan, including mediation techniques, and like any geek, he'd want to show off his knowledge (without realizing that's what he's doing).

YunieXTidus on April 25, 2011, 12:11:45 PM

YunieXTidusBack. I was finishing an episode of Doctor Who with my mom. Or as they'd say, me mum. xD

Anyway, while I get started on working on my update, how's life?

nextguardian on April 25, 2011, 12:41:45 PM

nextguardianSounds like fun. I've been doing homework -_-'

Same old, same old, but with homework. How about you? Anything good going on?

YunieXTidus on April 25, 2011, 12:49:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, I got to watch the Season 6 premiere of Doctor Who today, which I missed on Saturday, so I'm pretty content.

Homework sucks. -_-' I get to coast in some of my classes for the rest of the year, so I'm pretty happy about that.

nextguardian on April 25, 2011, 12:56:24 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI took a condensed course, where they shoved a 20 week course into 12 or so weeks. I can coast through the material, but there's just a lot more homework. But thankfully it's easy; just so dull I keep daydreaming.

Consequently, I've been daydreaming about our fic and how we could do a mirror universe arc. lol, wonder if this is why my grades aren't as good as they could be? XD

YunieXTidus on April 25, 2011, 12:59:05 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOhhh no, don't you pin that on me, sir. No way. xD

I'm really excited about this fic. It's so much fun, and extremely refreshing to get out of the Naruto-verse for a while. It's also like a walk down memory lane for me. I grew up with Star Trek, it was a huge part of my childhood. xD God, I was even nerdy as a KID. I'm hopeless.

nextguardian on April 25, 2011, 1:04:45 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNo, I pin it on myself! I was doing this before our ST fic. I would be sitting there thinking 'OK, Azami is gonna...and Yuji will be all, like, in love.' Not your fault at all. If it wasn't ST, it would Naruto.

Oh, so was I. Thankfully, a good friend of mine was MORE nerdy. He was swearing he was going to be captian of a starship- until people wanted to lynch him. Then the little p'tach told them I was one who'd gotten him in to Star Trek, and I inherited their crap. lol.
What was the first bit of ST you saw? It was Star Trek: Generations for me.

YunieXTidus on April 25, 2011, 1:14:20 PM

YunieXTidusLmao at the klingon swear word. Um, TNG. My first words weren't "mom" or "dad." No, no. They were "Space. The Final Frontier."

nextguardianAnd received!

I love the set-up. Their mutual mistakes leave me with a clear view of what's going on, but I've got that horrified 'deer-in-headlights' thing going, where I can see it a mile away, but I can't do a damn thing about it. That riles up all sorts of emotions, which is just the right response.

Bashir's speech is spot-on, as I've learned to expect from you. I love the part that starts with 'I don't know about your past relationships', and Amy's loaded questions about what kind of girl he thinks she is fits nicely.

I don't know if you've already thought of it, but I personally would add private moments for both of them. Like Having Bashir duck outside Quark's and flatten himself against the wall, partly sad and mostly angry for a minute, then maybe hit the wall with his fist and walk off. Or later in his quarters, have him toss and turn or something.
Ditto for Amy.

YunieXTidus on April 24, 2011, 3:49:33 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat's exactly the sort of reaction I was hoping for.

Oh yes! That would add a bit of depth to it.

And I'm so glad to hear you say that about Julian's speech. I was actually a bit iffy on this one. I kept being like, "no no that doesn't sound like him!"

Okay, while I polish that one off, how about you take over? xD I know this isn't exactly in order, but I would love to see what Dan does from here.

nextguardian on April 24, 2011, 3:54:13 PM

nextguardianThen you nailed it, pefectly.

I have to remind myself that I need to do that with Holmes.

Sure, that's fine with me. Absolutely. btw- I finished the lead in to Holmes meeting Amy. Want a sneak peak?

YunieXTidus on April 24, 2011, 3:54:50 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusUh, duh!

nextguardian on April 24, 2011, 3:57:49 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOkay, here's a bit of it. The rest is interesting, but unimportant at the moment.

”Bashir to Holmes. We can’t get through the airlock seal! You have to override the lockout!”

“That’s a negative, Doctor. I don’t have a command code yet!”

Holmes wondered why Sisko hadn’t ordered the station to allow the airlock doors to open. He looked over, finding Sisko beating furiously on the glass part of the airlock door. The glass was decorative, with an actual force field in place over it.

“Holmes to Bashir! Speak your command code-”

Holmes put his commbadge right up to the control panel that was blocking his access to the runabout.
“-now!”
--
--

Odo surveyed the scene with his critical eye while Major Kira plowed through the damage, extinguishing small fires with a fire extinguisher.

“What a mess!” she exclaimed, cursing as she stubbed her toe on a piece of burned console casing. “What on earth caused this?!”

Odo surveyed the airlock doors, making a sort of growl sound of discovery.
“Either the station was damaged when the Cardassian ship exploded…”

A pause. Kira hated it when Odo got lost in thought in mid-sentence. But it was such a ‘humanoid’ thing to do, it made her smile despite her annoyance. Most of the time, anyway. Right now, with O’Brien’s life in danger, it wasn’t amusing at all.
“…Or what?” she prompted him.

Odo held out a small bit of what looked like a timer.
“Or we have a saboteur on our hands. A saboteur who uses Bajoran resources.”

YunieXTidus on April 24, 2011, 4:00:08 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusArgh, you tease. So cruel. ;-; Although, I suppose it is partly my fault, for not finishing my pilot already! xD

nextguardian on April 24, 2011, 4:03:20 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianhaha, sorry! I'm not being cruel intentionally. I'll tell you this much: It involves the first meeting between Odo and Holmes, and it doesn't go well.

Oh, could you tell me if this suits Bashir (I've only got the speech down; not done with description yet):

“You, Jadzia.”

The two females exchanged glances. It was hard to tell which one was more shocked.

“You’re sure about that, Doctor? Ensign Holmes?”

“Absolutely! Girls aren’t the only ones who need to confide in a member of the same sex, you know. Holmes is as human as you are. Well, humanoid, anyway, considering I seem to be the only out and out human…”

“What about you and Ensign Collins, Julian?”

Bashir waved a finger, smiling in a teasing way. Depending on who you were, that sort of superiority was either charisma or sheer annoyance.
“I don’t kiss and tell; no gentleman would.”

“Except to other gentlemen, of course.”

Bashir kept his smile and place and dipped his head forward in combination nod/bow. “Of course.”

YunieXTidus on April 24, 2011, 4:05:10 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh, it suits him, it suits him!

Gosh, I could kiss you! xD This whole thing is too much fun for its own good.

nextguardianHe's a challenge for me. Getting his wording down is a bit difficult for me. I really have to think about it.

YunieXTidus on April 24, 2011, 4:13:10 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, watch 3 straight seasons of Merlin (a British show), 5 straight seasons of Doctor Who (another British show), then Law and Order:UK off and on, as well as Being Human (yet another British show), and you'll get the hang of his speech just fine. xD I'm a freak.

Lol so lame. I'm sure you could be coerced into a kiss. ;) Nobody can withstand my 'puppy-dog' look for very long. I look so lost, forlorn, and mistreated you can't do anything but bend to my will.

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'd imagine that would do it. Did you also watch...crap, what was it...Jekyll, I think?

lol, at the description, I probably couldn't XD But that's playing dirty!

Oh, yeah, quick question- is Amy the type to get 'violent' when emotional. As in, maybe grabbing Holmes' shirt when she shows up at his door (in a 'right state') and half-demanding 'what the hell is going on?!'

YunieXTidus on April 24, 2011, 4:23:30 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOnly when she's angry, and I almost had her slap Bashir when he accused her of being a player but I feel that the response she had was better.

Nah, she'd be more stoically-holding-back-tears until he let her in. As soon as the door shut, she'd sniffed, saying "I screwed up," before breaking down into sobs. xD poor Holmes. Weepy women are the bane of man.

And lol not really ;) I'm just using the weapons already in my arsenal.

nextguardian on April 24, 2011, 4:25:27 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI agree. Her reaction was more appropriate, although Bashir getting slapped would have been massively funny!

Okay, I can work with that. I'll share that part with you once I'm done with my preliminary write up.

lol, still evil to play that card! XD

YunieXTidus on April 24, 2011, 4:27:07 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusCan't wait!

Lol, evil, but oh so fun!

nextguardian on April 24, 2011, 4:36:51 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOkay, it's a little bit clipped because I wanted to get the dialogue down fast, but let's see what you think. I've bolded the one sentence I really wasn't sure about:

Sitting up at night when it was silent was long a pastime of Holmes. It did not always mean he enjoyed it. Tonight, for example.

Long plagued by an old earth illness long since cured, Holmes had resisted treatment since he was a child. He only took the medication when absolutely necessary. As a result, nights were sometimes a struggle for him. Being alone at night, on a space station, it could be quite claustrophobic.

Oh, it would have been simple to have Doctor Bashir give him a remedy for feelings like this, but that wasn’t winning the battle on his terms. Holmes knew that satisfaction came from doing a job yourself, and he was not about to let himself lose to his own mind.

That meant cold sweats at night, constant panic attacks, and other unhealthy symptoms. He didn’t need to suffer like this, but to gain mastery over himself, he would do what it took. It was no different from Vulcans training to suppress their emotions, really. With that in mind, he had replicated various Vulcan training tools. He sat on the floor, shirtless before a small flame that came from what looked like (to Holmes) Aladdin’s lamp. That flame was his focus as his hands were crunched into an ancient Vulcan hand sign. His palms were pressed together, and fingers were interwoven, except for his index fingers and thumbs, which pointed upward.

Only this flame and I exist. I am in control of it. It’s intensity decreases with my anxiety. It is a symbol of my control over my mind and thoughts.

It wasn’t a Vulcan mantra by any stretch of the imagination, but it worked for him. He resolved to find a patient Vulcan to teach him this stuff. There had to be one on the station…

Holmes’ door chime sounded. Immediately, his anxiety slipped to the back of his mind. He took a moment to wipe his bare upper body with a towel, then tossed on a light cotton t-shirt. He answered the door personally.

On the other side of the door was a sniffling Amy Collins. She was in a right state, and was practically in the door before Holmes could utter an invitation. Apparently, she had been crying for a while, as her eyes were red and puffy.

“Amy? What’s going on? Is everything alright?”

It was this sort of ability that had helped Holmes stand out. All of a sudden, his problems were gone from his mind. Someone else had an issue, and that was that. That issue took precedence. Hell, if she had stubbed her toe, it would have taken precedence.

“You dolt. A girl shows up at your door in tears and you ask ‘is everything alright’?”

Holmes stepped back, hands raised in surrender. “It’s sort of the standard question, isn’t it? Unless you’d rather I point out that you’re crying.”
Oh, I’m going to regret saying that, I bet.

But Amy just sat down, ignoring that remark. “Yes, yes, you’re right. I just…I’ve got this issue…and I showed up here. I’m not thinking straight.”

Holmes gave her a sympathetic look. He moved to the replicator and ordered two synthehols. He placed one before her, holding his own. He didn’t intend to actually drink it; it was more to encourage her to take a swallow two to help settle her down. Maybe that would help him get some info out of her, instead of being treated to her acerbic observations.

“I’m sorry about that stupid crack…”

Holmes didn’t expect an apology, but gratefully accepted it with a nod.
“So, what went on, if you don’t mind my asking?”

Amy launched into her tale about Bashir and how she reacted to his accusations. She was surprised at how calm she sounded, reciting this tale to a veritable stranger. Maybe it was just the fact that someone was listening.

After she wrapped up, she waited for Holmes to say something. He seemed deep in thought, and she didn’t want to interrupt. So she took a sip of the synthehol, feeling it calming her almost immediately.

“Well…” Holmes started slowly, standing up to pace a bit. “Bearing in mind I’ve only got one side of the story-valid though it may be-” he added quickly, cutting off what he thought was a potential outburst, “-I think he jumped to a conclusion, and I think that you aren’t sure how to convince him.”

Dan set down his glass on a brushed glass surface, sitting on the edge of his Cardassian-made bed.
“I have to say, if you’re both that upset, then you both really care about each other.”

“What makes you think that? After what he said?!”

Holmes gave her a plain look that stifled any argument she had.
“Would you be this upset if you didn’t like him?”

When that again silenced Amy, Dan continued.
“Look, let me talk to Bashir. Let me set things straight so you two can get a fresh start.”

Amy considered the offer, and found herself coming close to accepting it. She did like Bashir a lot, and apparently he felt something for her, too. If they couldn’t approach each other, then a third party might actually be best.
And also an escape. And Amelia Collins was not the type to run from something distasteful.
“No, thanks. It’ll be best if he and I handle this.”
She set her glass down in the replicator.
“Thanks, Dan.”

She seemed to leave as quickly as she came. When she reached the door, she turned around on her heel and gave Holmes a look. This one was much more normal on her face, so Holmes relaxed in spite of the acidic words:
“Oh, and DO NOT TALK TO BASHIR ABOUT THIS. Don’t even think it. Understood?

Holmes raised his glass in salute. “Aye.”

nextguardian on April 24, 2011, 4:44:50 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, question: If Dax and Holmes were to really get on well, which one do you see making the first move to go to the next level?

YunieXTidus on April 24, 2011, 11:10:03 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI am soo sorry, I fell asleep!

I really like this. I lol'd at the "dolt" bit. I visioned it more like, she shows up sniffling, he's like "are you all right?" And she just tosses him a dirty look before like, throwing herself in his arms and sobbing uncontrollably. xD but yours works too! So, would he listen to Amy and not talk to Bashir? Or would be take it upon himself to make things right?

Hmm. I think it could go either way, but I'm leaning more toward Jadzia.

YunieXTidus on April 25, 2011, 1:58:49 AM

YunieXTidusAlso, how would Dan feel about massage therapy to ease his insomnia? It seems like a good idea for Amy and Daniel to get to be better friends.

“Attend to your duties diligently at Deep Space Nine. Take the initiative. Show me that you’re responsible, and are capable of handling greater things. Then we’ll talk. I also want monthly reports of your progress there.”

“Yes, sir,” she responded, knowing the conversation was drawing to a close.

“And… Amelia?” His voice softened, and Amy looked up in surprise. Her father wasn’t really one to get emotional.

“Yes, father?”

“….Good luck.” The Admiral terminated the link, but Amy could have sworn she saw him blink back a few tears before his face was replaced with the Federation insignia.

YunieXTidus on April 24, 2011, 11:38:42 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI just had a brilliant idea. When Amy and Bashir go out on a date for the first time, Amy's brother shows up... with his daughter. But he thinks it's an ex with HER daughter. Like so.

Their food had just been served and Bashir was about to make some witty statement when Amy caught sight of the back of a very familiar head. When Julian saw her face light up, he immediately paused his train of thought. She slid out of her seat and murmured "I'll be right back" over her shoulder as she hastily made her way out of the restaurant. Julian turned around and watched as she ran up and threw her arms around a tall dark haired man's neck. He was incredulous. When she let him go, only to pick up a dark haired little girl and kiss her round, pale cheeks, his stomach dropped. He signaled to Quark to bring him the check, and the Ferengi bustled over to him, taking in his stormy expression and following his gaze.

"Ah. The new girl not who you thought, huh?"

"Quark, when I need your input, I'll ask for it," Julian replied shortly, handing Quark the check and quietly stalking out of the restaurant.

--

"Owen, how are you? It's been so long! And who is this pretty little lady?" Amy gushed excitedly.

"You met her three years ago, don't you remember, Amy?" Owen replied teasingly, his familiar smooth tenor voice like music to Amy's ears.

"Surely this angel isn't little Sarah Jane?!" Amy cried, taking the little girl's hands. Her dark brown hair fell in perfect ringlets around her round little face, stopping just at the shoulder. Rosy pink cheeks turned even pinker at the compliment, and thick black eyelashes framed huge eyes, the trademark Collins blue. Tiny rosy lips parted to let out a beautiful giggle, baring white, perfect teeth. She raised her arms up, indicating for Amy to pick her up. She was only too happy to oblige, using a one-armed grip to rest the child on her hip.

"It's been a while since you've seen her, remember?" Owen reminded her.

"She's gorgeous!" Amy exclaimed, then realized with a jolt that she forgot all about her date. Turning around quickly, she scanned the restaurant, intending to wave Julian to come over. When he wasn't there, her stomach dropped. She suddenly realized exactly what this looked like. Amy put Sarah Jane down hastily and put one hand over her mouth in dismay.

"What's wrong, Amy?"

"Julian, my date... he left. God, Owen, he doesn't know you're my brother!"

YunieXTidus on April 24, 2011, 3:05:46 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAlso, how would Daniel react if a crying Amy (after she got over her initial dislike of command-types, and men, and they became friends) appeared on his doorstep?

(Wipes the water, makes it worse.)
Oh, yeah. The weather. It was good. You know. Not too hot, not too cold. Just, uh right.
Stop saying 'uh!', fool!

It really is. And it all stemmed from an innocent comment. lol

YunieXTidusxD See, two klutzes make the perfect pair!

Also, I remembered what I was gonna ask you. Two questions.

First, with what you did with Holmes at the beginning, where he had to take the helm and command and so on and so on. How would that work for someone on the medical track?

And what sort of ship would she be transported to DS9 on? I know yours was the runabout U.S.S. Guardian... I have no diea what to do for mine. xD

nextguardianlol, I shudder to think of the damage once the food comes!

Let's see...well, if you want to put Amy in the hotseat, there's a couple things you can do. First, you can have her remove the captain/commander from duty due to illness/defect, which would put her in control of the ship. Or you can have a massive medical emergency which kills a lot of people, forcing her to take charge of the situation, either literally or in a medical capacity.

I can imagine her coming on on either a warp-capable shuttle, or even on a transport vessel. The transport vessel would make sense, going to DS9.
Or you could have her father show a little misguided love and book her on some huge Galaxy-Class ship, like the USS Odyssey (Which shows up on DS9 once), thinking it would be a treat for her, when really she's all embarrased about her father's show of power.

YunieXTidus on April 23, 2011, 12:05:01 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat's great! Both ideas. I think I'll do that with her dad, and then they come under attack (by those same terrorists!!) and the chief medical officer dies, leaving her in command of everything medical. This is great. You're a great idea-bouncer-offer. I just made up a ridiculous word. xD

nextguardian on April 23, 2011, 12:10:03 PM

nextguardianI was tossing names for the terrorist group around. I don't know if you want to give them a name or not, but I had them as part of The Circle, which was a group actually on the show in season 2 (I wouldn't know that if I hadn't just watched it. I'm not THAT big a dork...yet. Gimme time.)
Yay! I'm taking that as my official title!

YunieXTidus on April 23, 2011, 12:12:16 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh, that's fine with me. And xD It's totally okay if you're that much of a dork. Some people find nerdiness attractive. ;)

nextguardian on
nextguardianNot for lack of trying. I'm just not there yet XD

I wonder if there'll be any hot female trills at the convention? We can stay up all night counting each other's spots, drinking Romulan Ale, and talking about our previous hosts.

OK, NOW I'm that much of a dork! lmao, I couldn't even type that with a straight face!

YunieXTidus on April 23, 2011, 12:20:07 PM

nextguardian on April 23, 2011, 12:23:21 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYou're right, I am! lol, I admit that it came from a conversation I had in mind for Holmes and Dax. Oh, can I get your opinion on something?

YunieXTidus on April 23, 2011, 12:28:50 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOf course. You never need to ask. :)

nextguardian on April 23, 2011, 12:31:17 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAwesome; thanks!

I was writing up a few ideas to see how they looked on paper (or a computer screen, whatever), and I wrote some funny little bit about Dax and Kira. Problem is, I'm not sure it suits them completely. Is this too silly? I think I need to tone down their reactions a little. Here's what I've got:

RUMORS
Kira and Dax sat at the replomat, watching the various alien races walking by. Of course, both females also got attention back. Both were very attractive, and at the moment, available. For the moment, however, they were enjoying some rare girl time, and actually just relaxing and giggling a bit over the various people on the station.

“That new girl is sooo cute! She’ll be beating the boys off with a stick!” Kira exclaimed. “Heck, her accent, her figure, even her name is cute. Amy, right?”

“Amelia is her full name, but that isn’t any less cute,” Dax replied with a shrug. “She IS cute, but I think she might literally beat the boys off with a stick. She doesn’t seem to trust them very easy.”

Kira made a face, stifling a laugh. “We’re not all as well-adjusted as you are, Dax.”

“Well, I guess eight lifetimes will have an effect like that,” she admitted, finally laughing a little at Kira’s joking observation. That set them both off on a giggling fit, stopped only when Kira regained her composure long enough to ask another question.

“Okay, okay, we all know Bashir is cute. What about…Ensign Holmes?”

Dax thought for a moment. She liked Ensign Holmes well enough. “Well, let’s see. He’s polite, punctual, and he’s certainly professional.”

Kira rolled her eyes. “Yes, yes, personality. Come on, physically! What do you think of him physically?”

Dax leaned forward a bit. “You won’t tell anyone, will you, Kira?”

Kira leaned in, too, anxious to hear a bit of gossip that worried even the unflappable Lieutenant Dax. “Go on, tell me!”

Dax took a deep breath, fortifying herself.
“Okay…it’s like this. You ready?”

Kira was ready to strangle Dax, and it showed apparently, because Dax finally answered.

“He’s got a cute butt.”

Both females lost their composure and full-out laughed. Kira knocked over her drink, causing them both to laugh even harder. Dax had her head down on her arms, her entire body trembling with laughter. Kira was tearing up and could hardly breathe.

Doctor Bashir happened to be walking by and decided to say hello to them.
“Care to let me in on the joke, ladies?” he asked jovially, sincerely hoping they would. He could use a good laugh.

Dax and Kira looked at each other, biting their lips. This was too much!

“I don’t know if you’ll get the joke, Doctor,” Kira managed to get out between giggles. Bashir sat down at an adjacent table, arms crossed in front of his chest, an intrigued smile on his face.

“Try me.”

As they were about to tell Bashir what they had found so amusing, Ensign Holmes wandered by, absently reading a padd while threading in and out of the crowd, apparently maneuvering by instinct. Dax leaned out and ducked her head a little, watching the Ensign walk by. He was so engrossed in his work that he honestly didn’t notice Dax staring intently at his backside.

“Told you!” she hissed to Kira.

That was all it took for Kira to lose it again. Bashir didn’t quite get the joke, but chalked it up as being a ‘female thing’ and let it go, smiling tolerantly.

YunieXTidus on April 23, 2011, 12:42:13 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh god, I love it! xD It's not too silly. When girls get a little tipsy, they get a little silly. I loved the bit about Holmes having a 'nice arse' as the less civilized UK'ers would put it. xDD I really liked the bit about Amy. How flattering! I really like this. I even loved the bit with Bashir.

nextguardian on April 23, 2011, 12:54:09 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThere's a little bit more, which I'll share below. The concept of this was rumors, and how they start and get out of control. Something innocent like Dax's observation leads to Bashir's assurance that 'Holmes likes Dax'. Which will get spread around, and twisted somehow. I thought it made sense on a place like DS9, for some reason.
Well, Amy definitely sounds cute from your description :) I had planned to have Bashir mention her, but since they work together it seemed redundant, at least with the way I worded it. I'll work on it, though.

Here' the last little bit:

“That Ensign Holmes is certainly fitting in nicely, isn’t he?” he noted around the giggling of his two co-workers. “I wonder when he’ll make his move?”

By now, Kira and Dax had settled down a little.
“What do you mean, Julian?” Dax questioned. She fixed her bangs, as they had flopped down during her giggling fit. She had forgotten how good it felt to cut loose like that. Curzon certainly never giggled like that. If only he knew how liberating it was.

“Oh, come on, Jadzia! Like you haven’t noticed,” the young Doctor cajoled. He was smiling widely at her, apparently certain that she knew what he meant. It was, apparently, the most obvious thing in the world.

“I really don’t know, Julian.”

“Enlighten us, Doctor,” Kira asked/demanded in a tone that left little room for argument.

This time, Bashir was the one leaning in. He was buttering a slice of bread, smiling as he did, looking very forward to his tuna sandwich on rye.
“Rumor has it that our young Ensign already has his eyes on a female member of the staff.”

“Ohhh, who! C’mon, spill it, Doctor!”

Bashir was genuinely puzzled. “You really don’t know?”

“Don’t play games, Doctor,” Kira warned.

“I’m not. I just honestly can’t believe…that you really don’t know. It’s so obvious!”

Dax and Kira turned their gazes to Bashir as one and demanded:
“WHO?!”

“You, Jadzia.”

YunieXTidus on April 23, 2011, 12:57:10 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI like this. Although I do have to mention that "looking very forward" should be "very much looking forward."

(points to self) Future English major, I can't help it. ^^'

nextguardian on April 23, 2011, 1:04:53 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianGood point. Where was that little screw-up, anyway? If it was speech, it might have been in an attempt to match the character's speech. I honestly don't remember why I typed that.

The most frustrating part was that I could picture the facial expressions each of them were making, but I couldn't quite match it to words. -_-'

How's your bit coming? (<- eagerly awaiting more!)

YunieXTidus on April 23, 2011, 1:10:14 PM

Well, I think you did wonderfully!

Haha don't get ahead of yourself. xD I've only been able to bounce ideas around. I haven't actually been able to sit in front of a computer until right this second. And it will please you to know that I'm about to get started right away!

Btw, how's your YuAza war fic coming? Have you even touched it? ;)

nextguardian on April 23, 2011, 1:16:34 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThanks! That part worked out nicely. But I don't think I did as good when describing Dax leaning over and sizing up Holmes. I don't know. I'll work on it :)

Yes, please do! Want...more...need...more...now!

Well, I'm debating whether or not public humiliation is acceptable, actually. I've played with it a little, but I'm ST focused right now.

YunieXTidus on April 23, 2011, 1:21:54 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusReally, I think it was perfect the way you did it. I could see it in my head clear as day.

xD Sir, yes, sir!

Hmm... Interesting. That's a very quick way to break his spirit. And I totally understand. I've kind of set aside my naruto fic for now, cause I was stuck on it anyway, and this is so much fun. xD

nextguardian on April 23, 2011, 1:30:23 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWell, I'll take your word for it. I'm far too critical of my own work to be any good at judging it.

Yes!

It seemed like something Azami would do. Once the public has seen that, you can't take it back, so that part would crack him easy. But at the same time, he's partly worried about the fact that this is a total turn on. He loves having this girl own him, and that worries him, since he's all been trained to be in control

I needed a bit of a break myself. I've got more updates for Serving until I get my second Naruto wind.

YunieXTidus on April 23, 2011, 1:32:10 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm so glad I mentioned watching TNG the other day. xD To think you and I would miss out on all this fun! I honestly had no inkling that you were into ST.

YunieXTidus on April 23, 2011, 1:34:01 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAlthough in my opinion (unless you play it out differently) it would irreparably damage whatever relationship they could have. I mean, consensual public indecency is one thing. But I'd love to see how you play it out.

YunieXTidusI think barclay was a BIT. And I'll get to make a big headway on the pilot. When I get home I'll reread your earlier comment and reply.

nextguardianOh, that's true. I'll have to change Holmes a bit to make him more unique. He definitely won't be quite that scizophrenic, or however you would describe ol' Reg.

I'm looking forward to it :)

Is it okay with you if, for the first story, we continue a bit with the Bajoran terrorist route?

YunieXTidus on April 22, 2011, 11:49:53 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusTotally fine, I'll just follow your lead. I should get the big chunk of my first done tonight, and I'll email you what I have before I go to bed. Feel free to beta it, telling me things that aren't quite accurate and whatnot.

nextguardian on April 22, 2011, 12:06:36 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYes! I can't wait!

The only thing we should probably agree on for sure is what we call the different things. For example, I tend to say 'Commbadge' instead of 'insignia' or 'communicator'.

YunieXTidus on April 22, 2011, 12:09:20 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOf course! I like calling things by their proper name.

nextguardian on April 22, 2011, 12:14:54 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI think we'll agree on most terms because we both watched TNG. I can't think of my other examples right now, besides DS9 having an 'infirmary' instead of a 'sickbay'.

YunieXTidus on April 22, 2011, 1:05:14 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOhh. I'll keep that in mind.

nextguardian on April 22, 2011, 1:28:44 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI have to keep reminding myself. And some of the names, too. O'Brien (my computer wants it to be either O'brien or O'Brian), Curzon (I was guessing 'Kerzon'), and Neyrs (Had no idea there).

nextguardian on April 22, 2011, 2:33:49 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI've been brainstorming some storylines. Do you like any of them?

Parenthood: Lt. Dax is pregnant, but there's apparently no father. As the birth progresses rapidly and Dax is back to her old self in a day, they realize that an alien that visited Enterprise D is now visiting DS9. But this one is hostile...

From Whence You Came: Elemental aliens began attacking the wormhole with no luck. They alter their state to be fire, water, etc, defying the laws of space. But why do they want to attack the wormhole? The answer lies in an old Bajoran prophecy by a vedek who was defrocked.

Internal Polits: The station abruptly divides into politcal factions, each trying to take over control of the station. Only those in the infirmary, with it's superior shielding, are free from the odd influence.

Debate: The Ferengi have negotiated to buy Bajor- and under the influence of spiked synthehol, both the Kai and the Minister agree to the sale! Only Quark can save the day, with help from Kira. But Kira hates Quark, and asking for help is going to ruin her weekend, and probably bankrupt her.

YunieXTidus on April 22, 2011, 2:39:48 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThey're all very good, but it leaves me to wonder where our characters fit in.... ;)

nextguardian on April 22, 2011, 3:06:06 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI don't personally have Holmes starring in each episode. In 'Parenthood', I have him being a potential father for Dax's child. And in the 'Internal Politics' idea, that one was written with Amy in mind.

In 'Debate' and 'From Whence You Came', I just kind of have everyone doing their thing.

But you can have Amy in a starring role in all of them; that's totally fine, of course :)

YunieXTidus on April 22, 2011, 3:07:28 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOhhh, okay. I thought it was going to be more like yours and Andr28a's co-op, where it's written in the 'point-of-view' of your OC.

nextguardian on April 22, 2011, 3:10:06 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt can be. I've been writing them like the show, with each character getting starring roles and the like. I'm fine with doing it either way. What's more comfortable for you? It's your fic too; I'll feel guilty if I call the shots. (and no, this time it has nothing to do with you being female XD)

YunieXTidus on April 22, 2011, 3:12:58 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, it's been so long since I've even seen a single episode of DS9 that I'm really not familiar with the characters, how they interact with one another, how they think, and so on. So for now, it would probably be more comfortable if our OC's were the main characters. Which could change, once I finally get my hands on some DS9. I've been doing a thorough search, and the video rental store in my dad's town doesn't have ANYTHING Star Trek at ALL. I was so disappointed. I might be able to find some at home, but who knows. xD

Also, I've FINALLY gotten some alone time and am now busily typing up what I -have,- which I'll send, and then I'll get to work on finishing it. xD

nextguardian on April 22, 2011, 3:15:31 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat works for me^^ If you want any character bios/synopsis' I can pass those along. Our OC's can stay as the main focus, but if we need filler material, these might be good notes.

Can't wait!

YunieXTidus on April 22, 2011, 3:20:45 PM

YunieXTidusI just typed up a whole response, but my stupid computer hit the back button ON IT'S OWN, and I don't feel like retyping it all. xD

Suffice it to say that I didnt get far, but I will soon! xD Also I think I said "much appreciated."

Also- my i.m. is the same as my email, for when you get to the 'picking my brain' part. I may need to pick your brain as well. xD

nextguardian on April 22, 2011, 3:29:45 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI hate it when that happens -_-' That happened to me on my old computer. You have my sympathy.

Ah, okay. If you need to pick, let me know. I can be around for sure if I know in advance. I'll make sure I've got no homework or guests.

Some ideas that suit our OC's better (Keeping 'Parenthood' and 'Interal Politics' for now)

Division: A subspace fracture inexplicably forms and widens, threatning to destroy the station. Communications are down due to interference, and when Bashir investigates the problem, he finds that he and the other medical personnel are slightly out of phase with everyone else, save for Odo and Holmes, who are returning from Bajor. The question comes up: Is this a natural occurence? And what can be done to stop it?

Religious Tolerance: Amy and Kira offend Kai Winn and are being held on Bajor. Odo comes to their resuce, only to be imprisoned with them. Kira and Amy escape and try to get off the planet's surface. Holmes and Sisko come to help, believing that the 'Emissary' (Sisko) and (Can't give away Holmes' part yet) will be immune. That's when it becomes apparent that Bajor is under attack from within, and no one is sure that Kai Winn is really who she says she is. Sisko and Holmes can only help from the runabout, while Kira and Amy have to get away. But what about those suffering on Bajor? Kira's obligation as a military officer and Amy's obligation as a medic get in the way of their rescue.

Cramped Quarters: Terrorist acts beging to render parts of the Habitat Ring unusable. Tensions mount as people are forced to share quarters, but romance is also in the air as Dax and Holmes, Amy and Bashir, and Kira and Odo are paired up to stay together until the Habitat Ring is stable once again.

YunieXTidus on April 22, 2011, 3:41:42 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHold that thought. xD If I don't respond for a while, I'm probably busily typing.

nextguardianlol, that's okay. You set me up for a perfect Dax line, so I'm happy ^^ Besides, I actually attempted (weakly) at flirting back.

Sure ^^ I hope this little experiment will work out. I've never done anything like this before.

The Starfleet costume you see will be home made, too. Not by me (as a rule, I can't make, fix, or cook anything. Or grow anything except bamboo, for some reason), but I was already warned against wearing the mass-produced stuff by a real hardcore trekkie. The commbadge and pips will be 'official' though. I used to have this really cool one that had Picard's voice sound when you tapped it.

YunieXTidus on April 20, 2011, 3:48:25 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI know, and I'm proud of you! xD

:0 I have a bamboo plant, too! I used to have two, but one died. But the remaining one is having babies! I'm a grandmommy! Wow that makes me feel old.

Lmao you really -are- a trekkie, aren't you? I've never actually met one. My friend bought the Starfleet uniform vest, though he claims he's just a passive fan.

nextguardian on April 20, 2011, 3:53:18 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThanks^^ It's much easier flirting as a character, I think. Maybe I need to go into acting. Oh, I know! We can co-write the next Star Trek series. And, heck, act in it!

Hey, congratulations! Is it a boy or a girl?
...no, I haven't been drinking. I did just type that horrible joke while sober.

You know, it's only been for like a year, but I think I can finally refer to myself as a Trekkie ^^

YunieXTidus on April 20, 2011, 3:55:16 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusJust rofl to everything you just said.

So how do you think Holmes will react/interact to/with Collins?

nextguardian on April 20, 2011, 3:58:41 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThank you :)

Well, he'd definitely show her plenty of respect. He's got a good respect for medical personnel, at least partially because he's a baby about that sort of thing (as in, he can see injuries and be okay, but if you start talking organs or diseases, he gets a little squeamish). She's slightly older and female, so he'll be respectful.
What's her personality like when it comes to a command track ambitious type?

YunieXTidus on April 20, 2011, 4:02:05 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, a lot of them (in her eyes) are hot shots and attention seekers, so she'll probably talk down to him a bit at first (but politely).

She's not really good at socializing in general, and wary of men as a whole.

nextguardian on April 20, 2011, 4:10:38 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat should be a good dynamic to play off. So maybe something like this:

Holmes: Good evening, Ensign Evans.
Amy: (semi-coldly) 'Amy' will suffice, Ensign.
Holmes: Oh, certainly.
...(They meet again)
Holmes: Ensign; er, Amy.
Amy: Yes, what can I do for you, ensign (slight emphasis on ensign/)
Holmes: I'm here about my phyical
Amy: Oh, absolutely. This way...

Care to elaborate more? I think I'm sort of getting it, but can you outline an example?

YunieXTidus on April 20, 2011, 4:12:59 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusCollins, dear. Not Evans. Lol.


Do you want me to outline a conversation with her and Dan, or why she's wary of men?

nextguardian on April 20, 2011, 4:16:36 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianDid you correct me on that before, or is this the first time? I'm seriously out of it tonight XD

Both, if you don't mind ^^

YunieXTidus on April 20, 2011, 4:26:08 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, in your defense, I mentioned both as options for her last name. So not entirely your fault. xD

Hmm.

Welllll, I'm just gonna wing it with Holmes, under the assumption that he's a watered down version of Yuji. xD

Holmes walks into sickbay. Amy makes a note of his eager look and red uniform and mentally rolls her eyes. Another jock.

Amy: (cool, professional tone) Can I help you...?
Dan: (friendly) Ensign Daniel Holmes, I'm here for my check-up.
Amy: (Same cool tone) Amy Collins. Just have a seat there, I'll be right with you.

Actually, beyond that, I'm at a blank. XD

nextguardian on April 20, 2011, 4:35:17 PM

nextguardianOkay, I see where this is going. If I were to continue your bit:

Holmes: (slightly worried at her cool tone, but still persisting in being friendly) Good to meet you? Are you new here, too?

Amy: (cool) Hold still, please. Yes, I am.

Holmes: I just arrived on the Hudson. We were involved in that skirmish with the Bajoran terrorists.

Amy: (Thinks: great, now he's going to brag. Jerk) Yes, wonderful work you did. (Closes tricorder) You're cleared for duty, ensign.

Like that?

I've got to go for the night, but before I do, one quick question:
What material are the Voyager/DS9 uniforms made from? My God, I can't believe how anal these people are! I've been researching my costume and good God I'm a Trekkie-light compared to these folks!

Anyway, good chatting with you. I can't wait to read your pilot episode :)

YunieXTidusRofl I am the wrong person to be asking. It looks like... nylon/cotton but I honestly have no idea. xD
Well, hopefully I'll have enough done tomorrow to send to you! ^^

Likewise, nice talking with you too!

YunieXTidus on April 20, 2011, 4:28:01 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAlso, because of who her father is, lots of guys have tried to get close to her so they can use that to their advantage.

nextguardianOh, she's that pain-in-the-arse (British theme tonight and all XD) religious leader from Bajor.

lol, I loved the way you phrased that. 'I'd draw on you'. XD I admit, I've had a couple thoughts about cute vulcan girls or fellow Trills asking me 'so, how far down do your spots go?'. I've already jokingly blamed by 'fear' of women on the fact that 'my previous host was a female named Yuko, and she was evil'. I said it to a couple other trekkies just to see what reaction I'd get.
seriously though, it would be awesome if you were nearby. Because, thankfully, I'm not sure if I'm good with makeup or not, and I don't want to find out! XD

They really do. The Ferengi, too. They're savages in TNG, but not so much in DS9

You've GOT to use that! That is so perfect! And you're really great with Bashir's manner of speach!

YunieXTidus on April 20, 2011, 3:31:10 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, depending on how far down those spots go, I'd be more than happy to help. ;3

Speech*, and you've got to realize exactly how much British tv I watch. xD

nextguardianOh, that's a good idea. That would work out well, I think. That sounds like it could be a reccuring storyline element (her father and her desire to be on the Enterprise, actually).

Will Amy's parents be involved alot? If not, I was thinking of having Holmes' parents show up once in a while (sort of like Troi's mother, but less...however you want to describe her, lol).

And I've got his first blunder with Dax all set up! lol. I swore I wouldn't torture him the way I do Yuji, but...well, you know, it's my trademark! XD

I was thinking about possible storylines we could do. Definitely a mirror universe storyline, because that ROCKED in ST:E

YunieXTidus on April 20, 2011, 11:44:42 AM

YunieXTidusI'm going to respond to all that in like, 10 minutes. xD I'm speed eating.

nextguardianFair enough. I know the feeling.

YunieXTidus on April 20, 2011, 12:18:38 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOkay, I'm going to warn you ahead of time... Today, my cognitive processors are not firing at full strength, so please forgive me if I seem a little slow. xD

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing.

Well, I'm not thinking about having her parents in every episode, if that's what you're worried about. ;) Maybe every once in a while, to keep her on her toes. But by all means, have Holmes' parents involved as much as you like!

Sounds good to me! I'll let you be in charge of storylines and such. xD Just let me know, and I'll do my best.

Also, I do believe you were going to pick my brain about something?

nextguardian on April 20, 2011, 12:22:39 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat's okay. it's the same for me, really.

Oh, no, nothing like that. I just wanted to make sure we didn't wind up having their parents in every episodes at the same time.

Okay, sounds good. After the pilot, let's do more character development. Geting used to the people on the station, and used to each other's writing style.

I plan on it soon. I'm not quite ready yet. I've just got a little more to go before I get to that part.

YunieXTidus on April 20, 2011, 12:24:53 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusSounds great! I haven't gotten very far on paper yet, but once I make a little headway, I'll email you what I have and you can feel free to correct me on the accurateness of it, and stuff.

Ah, well, just lemme know! At your earliest convenience, of course. ;P

nextguardian on April 20, 2011, 12:29:08 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianSure. Take your time. I've been trying to dream up a two-part episode that can basically get our characters introduced around and into their duties in a normal pattern. Do you have any ideas on how Dan and Amy could meet?

I'd be done, but this ST fic is eating up my attention XD

nextguardian on April 20, 2011, 12:44:09 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNot that that's a bad thing. It's good for me to shift out of Naruto mode for a while ^^

YunieXTidus on April 20, 2011, 12:45:05 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm so mad at myself. I saw you commented... so I refreshed the page... BEFORE HITTING SUBMIT!!!!! Argh.

nextguardian on April 20, 2011, 12:50:10 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, that's alright. I've done that more than once. And I can't spell tonight, apparently -_-'

YunieXTidus on April 20, 2011, 12:53:30 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusTotally okay... At least it's not of Dugan/do gun proportions. ;D

Okay, so correct me if I'm wrong, but Dax is a medical officer, right? So she'd be hanging in/about/around sickbay and other similar areas quite a bit. If I'm correct, so will Dan. xD It would be inevitable that Dan and Amy bump into each other at some point, due to the nature of Amy's work.

Also, another idea... They could both be at the bar at relatively the same time and one of them could pluck up the courage to go introduce themselves... or they're with someone who introduces the pair FOR them... or something...

Idk. xD

Yeah, it's refreshing to stretch my figurative legs after riding the 'Naruto' car for so long. haha

nextguardian on April 20, 2011, 1:12:54 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat'll happen again, I'm sure. I fixed that error, by the way. It was too stupid for me to leave there.

Actually, I think Dax is a science officer. But considering that Dax is friends with Bashir, maybe we could work out a relationship between Dan and Amy that way? Being one of my creations, Holmes will probably be in the infirmary alot... Or Holmes could wind up working with Bashir )and therefore Amy) when he covers the medical part of his command track curriculum?

Ohhh...double-date at some point? Bashir/Amy and Holmes/Dax? Or something like that?

So we'll substitute Sakura/Azami for Dax/Vulcan women and kunai for phasers XD

YunieXTidus on April 20, 2011, 1:31:14 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIt was too hilarious to ignore.

Ooh, yes!

Heck yes!

Haha, of course.

I'm pretty excited about this.

nextguardian on April 20, 2011, 1:37:43 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI know. I actually just went back and fixed a whole slew of little things I missed in my initial proofread. Bleh. Although it was mostly spacing errors.

So, how about a sneak preview. What does Amy look like? C'mon, details, details!

Me, too. This is really going to be a lot of fun!

YunieXTidus on April 20, 2011, 2:00:43 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol okay, okay!

She's about 5'7", with a petite frame. Thick dark brown hair that's pulled back into a tight french braid on duty, but either pulled into a loose one in the mornings or a ponytail when she's relaxing in her quarters. Very pale, the occasional freckle on her nose. Trademark bright blue eyes ;) To match the uniform, of course.

She's always living in her father's shadow. People don't see 'her,' they see 'the Admiral's daughter.' Everyone has the highest expectations of her. And naturally, having a father in high places, some of the younger ones resent her, claiming that she uses her father's position to further her career in Starfleet. This couldn't be further from the truth. She just wants an opportunity to prove herself, to live up to her father's name.

She isn't very accustomed to socializing, but once she does make a friend, you're friends for life. Very dedicated to her work, but also dedicated to her relationships.

Um... I'm drawing a blank. xD

Oh, I had her come from the UK (same as Bashir) to give them something interesting to talk about. The scene in my head was like,

Amy: *Sitting at bar alone*
Bashir: *walks up and introduces himself informally* "I thought I detected a hint of UK in that cadence, earlier."
Amy: "Uh, yes sir. I've lived in the London area for the past four years, sir." (nervous wreck)
Bashir: "The 'sirs' are unnecessary. The name's Julian.

(Also, this hasn't even come up in my episode yet, so you're getting a super sneak preview! xD)

nextguardian on April 20, 2011, 2:18:43 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianCool! The UK thing is a nice touch. I like that introduction. 'Cadence' is definitely a word Bashir would throw out! The bit about the Admiral is good, too. Like a reverse Tom Paris situation, sort of. I always loved that sort of storyline ^^

Holmes is 5'9, with a slim, wiry martial arts build. He's girl-shy and duty oriented like Yuji, but he's not as introverted, and as a result he'll make more friends and more enemies. He's tough when it comes to duty, but he's more tender in his personal life, and will take it personally if someone is upset with him and he either doesn't know why or isn't sure what he did. He'll go out of his way to correct the problem almost to the point of being a pest.

My little preview: (I've hidden a little Voyager easter egg in here. let's see if you find it!)


“Can I help you, Quark?” the Commander asked, nearly allowing disdain to drip into his voice.

Without waiting for an invitation, Quark bustled in.
“ Actually commander, I’m here to meet the new guy.” Quark scanned the room and quickly settled on the one unfamiliar face. With a sharp- toothed grin, he strode over as fast as little Ferengi legs could carry him.

“Ah, you must be the new fellow all my customers are talking about. Well, let me just say that you, my friend, are very good for business!”

Holmes stood up politely, hands behind his back at first, though he did offer his hand for handshake once Quark finished talking. Quark took it, albeit briefly.

“ Well, I’m… glad I could help?” Dan stated\questioned. His eyes wandered around the room, silently asking how he was supposed to react to this. He had, of course, been ‘warned’ about the Ferengi at the academy, but this was his first time dealing with one in person.

Sisko seemed a little put off by the Ferengi’s impromptu visit. He snapped his fingers suddenly.
“Let me guess, Quark - rule number 121?”

Quirk seemed a little taken aback, but recovered quickly. “Rule of Acquisition number 194, actually. ‘It’s always good business to know about a new customers before they walk in the door’. But that was close, Commander. You must have been studying.”

YunieXTidus on April 20, 2011, 2:24:14 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus:( I feel so inadequate. I can't find it. (It HAS been several years, mind you!)

And also, we'll have to find some way for Dan to piss off Amy, just to fool around with that. xDD

nextguardian on April 20, 2011, 2:28:26 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, don't beat yourself up! It's so small that'd you have to look for it to notice it. And I'm such a dork for coming up with it, mind you! XD It was this part:
"been ‘warned’ about the Ferengi at the academy"

Ensign Kim mistakenly says that to Quark on the first episode of Voyager (I did mention I am a total nerd?), and Quark takes offense to it, demanding to know who 'warned him about Ferengi'.

That passage was longer than I meant it to be. I've been on this creative streak tonight, for some reason.

Hmm...would she get mad at him for being too formal after she told him not to? Like, if he keeps calling her Lt. Evans, even when off-duty?
Or he could keep getting hurt in the line of duty, causing him to get a lecture from her, maybe?

YunieXTidus on April 20, 2011, 2:33:02 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOhh!! I remember now. xD *points to self* slightly photographic memory. Although, it's been so long... I can hardly remember anything of Voyager.

Lol that sounds like a classic Yuji/Sakura exchange. Although she's an ensign! ;P

I think both of those scenarios would work nicely.

nextguardian on April 20, 2011, 2:54:41 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianCrap! I had a nice reply typed out, then I hit backspace after clicking submit, and deleted the whole bloody thing!

Let me try again: That's a good age. She's still young, but also older than Holmes just enough to worry him XD

That makes more sense now that you mention it. Holmes wouldn't come strutting into the infirmary asking for a checkup while there's a medical emergency going on. Good thing they don't have people disrobe for physicals anymore. That would be a hell of a way for Holmes to meet Amy.
"Uh, I'm Dan."
"I see. Starfleet issue boxers?"
"Yes, ma'am."

YunieXTidus on April 20, 2011, 2:59:29 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI JUST did that a little while ago! I'm sorry, my absentmindedness must be contagious. ^^'

Lmao, boxers again. I can't think about boxers without our conversation about Tenzo's underwear preference coming to mind. xD

And yes, that does seem a bit dunce-y, even for Holmes. ;)

nextguardian on April 20, 2011, 2:42:04 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt's such a small thing. If I hadn't just watched it recently, it wouldn't have occured to me to include it.

Ah, ensign. I'll get that right in the fic. It just occured to me that I didn't ask you her rank or age.

I've got one more idea. Maybe our first character crossover. If you want to, how about having Holmes pop into the infirmary for his check-up? We could do that later, if you want, but if you feel like giving it a shot, you can control Holmes for in your update.

YunieXTidus on April 20, 2011, 2:44:18 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIt just occurred to me that I didn't tell you! She's... well, I hadn't decided on an age until right now, actually, 'cause you asked. She's 23.

How about my second update? So I can get a better feel for how to use Holmes in my writing, as well as for me to get my pilot out of the way. xD

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusCommented! Loved it. Also, I think after reading that, I'm gonna move Amy to medical major. xD I don't think I'm- I mean, she's- cut out for the fast-paced life on the bridge. My mind just does NOT work that way. xD

Very good pilot episode! I can't wait to get started.

nextguardian on April 19, 2011, 3:25:11 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm glad. Gah, I HATE windows speech recognition. you should have seen the errors I DID correct! Bleh.
Anyway, was Holmes' introduction to Dax natural enough? I couldn't think of a way besides that to make it seem less 'forced'.

It's sort of the same with me. I-er, Holmes- would relish command opportunities, but he'd be all squeamish with medical stuff.

YunieXTidus on April 19, 2011, 4:06:01 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHaha. Well, I'd be happy to proof read each update!

Well, considering how well I handled my friend's jumping-out-of-car incident, I think it's the better choice. xD

YunieXTidus on April 19, 2011, 9:31:35 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAnd yes, I think it worked out nicely. I'm still working out scenarios in my head. How would your little skirmish before boarding DS9 affect boarding procedures in the the week after your arrival? I mean, would it delay Amy's arrival on DS9?

nextguardianI'm still working on selling my parents on the idea. They aren't exactly Trekkies themselves. Though my Dad is curious about Dax, because he'd seen her on another show. Same with Rene Aub...forget it. I can't spell that name without a reference. Odo. There. XD

lol, this is why I saw girls are evil XD jk, of course. I don't actually say that, and least of all in reference to you!

YunieXTidus on April 18, 2011, 1:21:59 PM

nextguardianSo far, my favorite quote: "Rom fixed it for you? Rom's an idiot. He couldn't fix a straw if it was bent!"

Evil, yet alluring. What a combo XD But hey, it's worked for millenia, so I won't criticize the system.

YunieXTidus on April 18, 2011, 1:34:59 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol that's awesome.

True, true. It might be the evil-ness that's part of the alluring-ness.

nextguardianAlthough my favorite quote is still Sisco's: "Dammit Dax, if you were still a man!"

Yeah, I suppose so. That would make sense XD So why on earth are women attracted to men? That's what I can't figure out. XD

Oh, quick question- if Azami decides to try to seduce info out of Yuji, what do you picture her wearing?

YunieXTidus on April 18, 2011, 1:41:45 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHmm. Well,men can be the same way. Jeez, that's a tough question.

Well.... I dunno. Azami doesn't really need a specific set of clothes to seduce information out of someone. Probably something with thin fabric, though, especially if she's gonna climb into his lap at some point. ;)

nextguardian on April 18, 2011, 1:45:04 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIf men and women didn't have bad taste in each other, there wouldn't be a human race, I guess.

I thought about a miniskirt thing, so she can appear playful. But I'm not sure how it would look on her. She's taller than he is, so a miniskirt might be too generous.

YunieXTidus on April 18, 2011, 1:47:46 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, everyone is beautiful to someone.

Also, I think a miniskirt would be okay as long as it isn't TOO mini.

nextguardian on April 18, 2011, 1:50:47 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianTrue, true. That's one of those nice, simple truths.

lol, the next chapter is one I might be picking your brain for. SO, let me ask this: If you could dress a guy like Yuji any way you wanted, how would you have him dress?

YunieXTidus on April 18, 2011, 1:55:57 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHmm. Perhaps you should switch to i.m., if any picking of my brain is to commence! xD It's just more time efficient.

YunieXTidusAlso-- This is the link to one of the anime I mentioned... Blue Gender.
It's this mecha show with aliens and stuff. Horrible description, I know. xD It's kind of graphic sometimes, in the fighting and stuff, and some of the scenes are a biiiit racy. But I think it was worth the watch.

http://www.hulu.com/blue-gender

Olivia Wilde got divorced recently. Think I've got a shot?

YunieXTidus on April 18, 2011, 2:39:01 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusMan, you should totally go for her! I'm sure she'd be willing to look past your non-famousness and get to know you on a deeper level. ;P

I hear Hugh Laurie's good in bed. Think I've got a shot? xD

nextguardian on April 18, 2011, 2:43:26 PM

nextguardianYeah, totally! I mean, some girls DO like the submissive nerds, right! lmao.

Hey, go for it! If I can bag Olivia, you can get Hugh easy!

YunieXTidus on April 18, 2011, 2:45:30 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD Well, I can't say I wouldn't find the prospect interesting. Nerds are right up my alley. And besides, with the proper coaxing, even the submissive ones can find confidence. ;p

True! I'll get started on that right away. You don't happen to have his number, do you? xD

nextguardian on April 18, 2011, 2:49:14 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol. True enough. A woman can insire a man to confidence...or crush his confidence. Either one XD Though I kick my own @$$ pretty good, so I don't need the help.

Nah. If you've got olivia's though, will you pass it along. Oh, I know, we should ask Patrick Stewart. All British people are friends, after all. (Even though I have zero basis for that statement)

YunieXTidus on April 18, 2011, 2:50:33 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm sure under the proper guidance of the right girl, you'll find your confidence. You seem worthy enough of it!

Of course! Living on that little bitty island, they're all bound to bump into one another. xD

nextguardianThose are good names.

I'm almost done with the introduction chapter ^^

YunieXTidus on April 18, 2011, 12:20:25 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWoo! You'll have to be patient with me... I have to watch some DS9, get my feet wet again. And I'm in the process of getting sick/recovering, so I'm not feeling particularly creative.

Also, thank you for the comment on the link i sent you. It's really something I could see happening, because he and I have way too much chemistry to be "just friends," like he wants.

nextguardian on April 18, 2011, 12:27:36 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat's okay; take your time. I haven't really gotten into any sort of storyline yet; it's more an introduction to Holmes.

I did wind up thinking of something for your character, btw. She could suspect Garak, and that's how she and Bashir could get their introduction. From there, they could even have an unofficial mission where they keep tabs on him.

It was very well done :) It was totally believable on my end.

YunieXTidus on April 18, 2011, 12:28:47 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHaha that's brilliant!!

Thanks. I did really try to make it as image-inducing as possible, because I can see it so clearly in my head.

nextguardian on April 18, 2011, 12:37:19 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm hoping Holmes' introduction to Dax will be as workable. I'm really hoping I can finagle my parents into letting me go to the ST convention in Las Vegas. I've never been, and it's the 45th anniversary. They've got, like, 70 stars lined up to make apperances. I'm such a dork. I'll probably go as a Trill XD

That's some powerful imagery, then. I could totally buy that.

What really sucks is that my cousin's 'friend' (not sure how close they are) seems to be attracted to me. Can't do that to my cousin. He's close with her. How close, I'm not sure. But he doesn't open up to just anyone.

YunieXTidus on April 18, 2011, 12:41:15 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol NERRRRRRRRRD! Las Vegas. -whistles appreciatively- That's far away.

Haha thanks. And I'm not sure if you noticed, but that swimsuit is the same one Hisako was wearing in the email I sent you a while back. The one about the car? ;P That swimsuit seems to keep cropping up. xD

You could always talk to him about it. You really ought to put yourself out there. I'm sure any girl would be lucky to have a guy as nice as you. :)

nextguardian on April 18, 2011, 12:45:37 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYeah, I totally am. Any Trekkie is almost automatically a nerd by definition, to be fair. Some of us just go farther XD

I did think about that. lol. That bikini brings with it very vivid imagery.

Part of the problem is I'm not attracted to her. She's sort of...trashy. I hate to say something like that, but I'm not sure else how to describe her.

YunieXTidus on April 18, 2011, 12:49:15 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusFair enough, lol. I'm a nerd, myself.

Hehe is that so? ;)

Ah, I understand. Well, in that case, nevermind.

nextguardian on April 18, 2011, 12:52:32 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBe a nerd, and be proud! That's how it should be. Nerds rule the world! XD

That first fic with that bikini in it clinched it, I think. I'll never see a red bikini and not blush again. lol.

It's awkward like that. She could me nice looking, but...meh, oh well.

YunieXTidus on April 18, 2011, 12:53:57 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHehe well, I'll have to use that to my advantage.

YunieXTidusWell, that sounds good. I'll have to watch some DS9 though. I haven't seen that show in YEARS.

I'll still be around. And yes, writing us a starting chapter would be lovely!

nextguardian on April 17, 2011, 2:38:35 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianCool :) I've only seen the first 2 seasons, plus some of the third.

I'll get to work on that chapter right away. If I don't answer right away, I'm probably distracted writing XD

YunieXTidus on April 17, 2011, 2:40:31 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAwesome! Also, could you post a full bio of Holmes? I'm drawing a blank on what to do for mine. xD

nextguardian on April 17, 2011, 3:22:25 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianSure thing ^^ It'll just be a few minutes.

YunieXTidus on April 17, 2011, 3:24:04 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThanks a bunch. ^^

nextguardian on April 17, 2011, 3:41:32 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThis is what I've got:

Daniel Holmes
Age 22
Male
Ensign (4 years of service)
Starfleet Major: Command-track (currently in training)
Bio:
-Graduated Starfleet Academy 200th in a class of 9000 on stardate -----.-

-Assigned to USS Guardian for a 3 month interim period as cadet. Promoted to ensign and commended for his actions in preserving the safety of the Alpha Quadrant from an unknown alien vessel during the 'Tarsus VI incident'.

-Assigned to Deep Space 9 as part of his command training route. (Current)

YunieXTidus on April 17, 2011, 3:45:17 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHmm. This helps a bit, but I'm still not sure what I want my girl's bio to be. Or even what I want her "major" to be.

nextguardian on April 17, 2011, 3:49:31 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHmm. Well, what's your favorite part of ST? Overall, I mean? Fighting, discovery, medicine?

YunieXTidus on April 17, 2011, 3:51:25 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusDefinitely discovery.

nextguardian on April 17, 2011, 3:55:26 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianMaybe you should put her on the command track as well. Or maybe a science officer?

What sort of description do you have for her so far, if you don't mind my asking?

YunieXTidus on April 17, 2011, 3:58:17 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusXD I haven't even picked a name yet. Ask me tomorrow.

nextguardian on April 17, 2011, 4:00:25 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianSure. Do you have a race picked out. Human? Vulcan? Cardassian?

YunieXTidus on April 17, 2011, 4:02:05 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol cardassian xD Uh, human. Definitely human.

nextguardian on April 17, 2011, 4:05:18 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianCool :) I don't mean to seem like I'm rushing you, btw. I'm just really curious. I haven't talked to another trekkie in ages!

YunieXTidus on April 17, 2011, 4:06:03 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNo, totally okay. Me either!!

nextguardian on April 17, 2011, 4:11:44 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt's a relief to know I'm not alone XD

I'm going to make an effort to make Holmes different than Yuji. I admit, I've already got it in my head he's going to make a beeline for Dax XD

YunieXTidus on April 17, 2011, 4:13:50 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNo, sir, you are not alone!!

Lol well, she's a knockout.

I admit, I want to have mine make a beeline for Bashir. xD

nextguardian on April 17, 2011, 4:20:31 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianGood, that's perfect. Keep Bashir busy so he'll keep away from Dax. :D

This whole scenario actually spawned from a dream I had. In it, I (or at least my character) on DS9 and dating Dax. He was assigned to Voyager, but opted out of the comission to stay with her. Then he fought some Cardassians that tried to take over the station. He, Sisko, Dax, and O'Brien were crawling through the access conduits when the Cardassians found them. It was like this:

Sisko: Damnit! We have to slow them down.
Dax: I'll go, Benjamin.
Holmes: No. I'm going.
Sisko: ...Damnit. I'm going.
Holmes and Dax: No!
Holmes: Sir, you're needed here. And between Dax, O'Brien and I, who can you afford to lose most? You've got your chief engineer, and someone with eight lifetimes worth of knowledge.
Sisko: ...(Claps him on the shoulder) You'd better catch up with us.
Holmes: Aye, sir.
Dax: Daniel, I-
Holmes: I love you, Jadzia. I WILL be back. I promise. (kiss)
--
Holmes is running around, drawing the Cardassians in, and then blows a power conduit in their faces. He's all burnt and injured, and then...

I woke up.

Which sucked. I tried to go right back to sleep to continue the dream, but no dice :|

YunieXTidus on April 17, 2011, 4:23:29 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLmao.

That's a cool dream. Isn't that always the way? I have that happen to me so often.

nextguardian on April 17, 2011, 4:24:58 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt just proves that even my psyche has damned my OC's. The dude couldn't even get the girl in the dream! I mean, he was, like, two seconds away from 'hero sex'!

lmao, I know that's crude, but it made me lol as I typed it, so I left it ^^

YunieXTidus on April 17, 2011, 4:27:03 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD oh, you.

I'm just wondering how she and Bashir will consistently bump into each other, if she's on the command track.

nextguardian on April 17, 2011, 4:31:55 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat's a good question. Well, with Holmes, I'm having him basically fall for Dax right away, then considering becoming a Trill host so he could be with her.

Maybe you could give her a background in medicine. It doesn't have to be big or anything. Just somehow important. Like I gave Holmes 'The Tarsus VI Incident' or whatever I called it. Just enough to give them a start to get them talking.

YunieXTidus on April 17, 2011, 4:34:18 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHmm, yeah. Maybe something will come to me in a dream.;) speaking of, I'm headed to bed. It was great talking to you!

nextguardian on April 17, 2011, 4:35:10 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'll brainstorm, too. Maybe something will hit me.

nextguardianVoyager for me, but Enterprise D is a close second.

Me, too. The next chapter should have a couple, too.
One more question: Would you prefer to be called 'hot' or 'cute'. Or is it a contextual thing, depending on whose saying it and location?

YunieXTidus on April 16, 2011, 3:01:15 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIt's a contextual thing, but preferably "cute." "Hot" insinuates that the person is only looking at your body. "Cute" insinuates that they're attracted to more things about you than that.

nextguardian on April 16, 2011, 3:03:23 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianMight you be interested in reading a bit of ST fiction I've written?

That's what I thought, too. I suppose I could just compliment people more, but everyone gets offended so easy these days.

YunieXTidus on April 16, 2011, 3:04:15 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYes!

And well, complimenting people is a tricky business.

nextguardian on April 16, 2011, 3:07:01 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianCool! I'll ship it off to you, hopefully tomorrow. It needs a bit of cleanup. Basically, an interstellar incident forces an woefully underquiped science vessel ship into the Delta Quadrant. The only two who survive the outbreak of the deadly disease are the new helmsman and the new tactical officer, one is an ensign and the other is a cadet. With their crippled ship, they get to Voyager, and... it's a WIP.

Well, I figured I'd rather personally be called 'cute' than 'hot', so I guessed it was the same. But it never hurts to be sure.

Well, I've got to be going for tonight. IT was good talking with you. We'll have to have another trekkie session soon!

Live long and prosper!

YunieXTidus on April 16, 2011, 3:09:12 PM

YunieXTidusIt was absolutely fantastic. I must have more.

nextguardian on April 17, 2011, 12:06:41 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI hope to have more sometime. I'm also brainstorming a DS9 fic.

To pass the time, I'll passed you a scrapped part of the story. You should get it in just a minute...

YunieXTidus on April 17, 2011, 12:14:38 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusSeriously, you're amazing! I can't believe you don't have this posted somewhere. This is soooo good.

Also, I'm about to read it now. ^^

nextguardian on April 17, 2011, 12:17:11 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAw geez, I'm gonna start blushing soon! lol. Well, it's fun to write. I've heard rumors that ST might be making a new series in 2012, come to think. I'd love to be on the show!

Enjoy! It's not as good as the first imho, and it's not done yet. When you're done, I'll explain where I was going with the story, because it might not make sense otherwise.

YunieXTidus on April 17, 2011, 12:19:15 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, you should be blushing, with pride! Seriously, I think that's the best bit of fanfiction I've EVER read. You managed to capture the 'Trek'-ness of it all, while managing to keep them human and believable... And you perfectly captured the feel of the Voyager crew. It brings back memories.

I'm liking what I've gotten to so far!

nextguardian on April 17, 2011, 12:25:52 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThanks so much! It really is nice to hear that ^^ I meant that fic to be a 'pilot episode', if you will, to introduce Kitamura and Holmes. They weren't supposed to dominate the whole series.

:D Excellent!

YunieXTidus on April 17, 2011, 12:27:54 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm getting inspired, now! We should... I dunno... write a co-op ST fanfic! xD I'm gonna have to brush up on my Star Trek knowledge, though.

xD I just realized how MUCH there was in this. I just got to the part where Holmes gave Danielle that plaque.

YunieXTidus on April 17, 2011, 12:30:46 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh, nevermind. I forgot that this was attached to the initial email. xD Me, sounding stupid again.

This was great! More, more, more! xDD

nextguardian on April 17, 2011, 12:36:54 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYes, co-op fic! I'm all for that! Absolutely all for it!

I wrote the Kitamura/Holmes thing before DS9, so I didn't realize how similar it was to Dax/Bashir.

Oh, so the last bit I sent you: What I was working on was to basically have the USS Guardian use the multi-vector assualt capabilities until it was sacrificed against the Borg. It wasn't going to split off. That's how it seemed to me, so that's where I stopped where I was.

I sent you one more bit that I just remembered I had. Enjoy!

YunieXTidus on April 17, 2011, 12:38:34 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm still amazed at how easily you capture the feel of the show. I'm seeing this play out in my head as if I'm watching an episode of Voyager!

<3 You're amazing, my friend.

nextguardian on April 17, 2011, 12:42:47 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI was eating, sleeping, and breathing Voyager at that point. I even tried to free-hand a model of it out of clay. Needless to say, structural integrity failed relatively quickly -_-'. I was going to make this humongous model to hand over my desk at home, lol. Too bad I suck with clay.

Thanks so much for reading it :)

YunieXTidus on April 17, 2011, 12:49:14 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHeh, I was like that a couple years ago. I miss that show, I need to get back into it. I absolutely LOVE Captain Janeway.

Also, I forgot to mention the show Star Trek: Enterprise. With Archer, T'pol, Tucker, Malcom, etc etc. Love that show, too. xD

Juuust finished. Totally awesome. Why don't you post all these on FAC? There's gotta be at least ONE other Trekkie out here.

Okay, so I've never done a co-op before, and I'll definitely need to brush up on my ST knowledge, but I'd be more than willing to give it a try!

YunieXTidus on April 16, 2011, 12:49:10 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusTNG definitely, followed very closely by Voyager

nextguardian on April 16, 2011, 12:51:15 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianVoyager for me, followed by DS9. Only reason TNG isn't higher is because I can't stand the Crushers.

YunieXTidus on April 16, 2011, 12:54:23 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAwwwh. I love Wesley!

nextguardian on April 16, 2011, 12:58:47 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAs a general rule, I don't like ST kids. Jake Sisco is okay, but I hated Naomi Wildman.
Now, Lt. Dax (Jadzia) I had a major crush on. Seven, too. Pff. Makes me unique, right XD Kes was also darned cute.

YunieXTidus on April 16, 2011, 1:01:48 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI loved Seven and Dax!!!

nextguardian on April 16, 2011, 1:05:25 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI loved how Sisko and Dax could talk. Stuff like:

"Damnit Dax! If you were still a man..."

"Benjamin, I was there once, remember? I totally understand what you're going through."

Now, if I was any kid on that station who needed advice about girls, that's who I'd go to. I mean, she's got knowledge from both sides! lol

Who are your favorites? (all series)

YunieXTidus on April 16, 2011, 1:44:38 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, Data is my favorite character of all time. Seven and the Doctor are my faves from Voyager, as well as Janeway. I love Janeway. Picard! <3 I love me a Brit, and a Brit in uniform to boot! xD I love Kira Narice from DS9.

xD I had no idea you were a Trekkie!

YunieXTidus on April 16, 2011, 1:45:36 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOMG! I forgot Odo. I love Odo. Favorite characters EVER are Data and Odo.

nextguardian on April 16, 2011, 1:53:47 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianMy faves are Janeway, Picard, Spock, Odo, Data, Geordi, O'Brien, Dax, and Seven. The Doctor, too. Bashir is great, and so is Paris, but if I keep listing people, I'll have mentioned everyone. My favorite female is probably Dax. She's so laid back, and darned cute.

Who I don't like (or at least not much):
B'Ellana Torres, Will Riker, Beverly Crusher, Wesley Crusher, Icheb, Naomi Wildman.

Yeah, I'm surprised to find you're a trekkie, too. I honestly wouldn't have guessed.

YunieXTidus on April 16, 2011, 1:55:03 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh, dear! You don't like Will or Wesley. You and I are going to have problems. :(

nextguardian on April 16, 2011, 2:00:44 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI need to clarify that: I didn't like Will in season 1 and part of season 2. He was WAYYYY too uptight, to the point of being arrogant. After that, he's okay, once he gets into his role.

Wesley...sorry, I can't do it. Genius kid who gets promoted rapidly always irks me.

Maybe we can agree to disagree ;) (assumes Scottish accent) "After all, we're big enough to take a few insults, aren't we?"

YunieXTidus on April 16, 2011, 2:02:29 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol fair enough. I just think Wesley's so darned cute. Riker kinda pissed me off in the first season, but I just love to see him in action (with the ladies or on a mission).

I have to admit, I love Bashir AND Paris. But I'm totally in love with Spock (aka Zachary Quinto) from the new movie. James T. Kirk (aka Chris Pine) was equally awesome.

nextguardian on April 16, 2011, 2:11:06 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWell, he's a tall nerd, so okay, I'll give you that one. But I get Dax in return! 00' Riker got better, absolutely. I really liked Tasha Yar, too.

The casting in that movie was spot-on. But I disliked the plot. I didn't 'feel' like a ST movie, for some reason. And since when does scotty have a robot ewok for an assitant? but the casting was stellar.

YunieXTidus on April 16, 2011, 2:12:51 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusChekhov was sooooooo cute in that movie! "I can do zat I can do zat!" Argh, little russian gives me cuteness overload x_x

YunieXTidus on April 16, 2011, 2:14:10 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI really loved in the movie how they (for the most part) accurately portrayed the 'sound' of space. There IS no sound in space, it's a vacuum. Something the previous Star Treks failed to follow. Something the movie drew extra attention to. Which I loved. xD

nextguardian on April 16, 2011, 2:17:16 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWhat bothered me the most was how they butchered the canon. But Kirk's story, the characters- that was solid. McCoy, too.

YunieXTidus on April 16, 2011, 2:28:57 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusEh. I just loved the acting and interacting, and the special effects. And the sexy deliciousness that is Zachary Quinto.

nextguardian on April 16, 2011, 2:31:31 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI would have loved another TNG cast movie personally. They could have ended on a better note than Nemesis (which I loved, personally).

YunieXTidus on April 16, 2011, 2:41:30 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI was so totally upset at the end of Nemesis. Data... :'( I'm in love with Data.

nextguardian on April 16, 2011, 2:48:03 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI know, really :( I hated the end of Generations. Such a beautiful ship.
But for my money, Voyager is the best ship. I liked it's smaller size. But DS9 itself is the only show where I like the whole cast outright.

(Off-topic question: which would a girl be happier hearing-
'You're a babe' or 'You're a total knockout'? I'm working on the next part of that fic)

YunieXTidus on April 16, 2011, 2:50:32 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHmm. I think either would work, but I personally would rather hear "you're a total knockout."

nextguardianbtw, quick question from my last update: Was the whole 'sound of changing clothes thing' accurate, or too perverted, or both? ANd out of curiosity, IS it the same for girls? XD

YunieXTidus on April 15, 2011, 3:15:49 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNo, the sound of clothes thing worked perfectly. It really added to the sensuality vibe that Yuji was picking up from Azami. Well, I haven't had the privilege of hearing a man undressing, but imagining it, I'd say it'd be much the same. At least for me ;)

Hope you like the finished product!

nextguardian on April 15, 2011, 3:23:40 PM

nextguardianAnd commented! Loved it. Perfect execution :) Hisako's teasing came off perfectly, and you worked in a prelude to the fight very nicely!

one last question- would Azami feeding Yuji in much the same manner as she bathed him serve the same semi-sexual, humiliating purpose, do you think?

YunieXTidus on April 15, 2011, 3:24:41 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThank you!

Heh. Quite so.

nextguardian on April 15, 2011, 3:26:53 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNo problem :)

Okay, good, I'll have to work that in.

Well, I've got to get going for tonight. I haven't been sleeping well, and my face is about hit the keyboard. Have a good night! And seriously awesome stuff with that story! :)

YunieXTidus on April 15, 2011, 3:27:30 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol at that mental picture, and thank you for your help! I couldn't have made it as 'awesome' without you.

nextguardian on April 16, 2011, 6:52:14 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm glad I could help, but I'm pretty sure it would have been equally awesome without any outside input :)

YunieXTidus on April 16, 2011, 8:04:46 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAwwh, thanks. ^////^

YunieXTidus on April 15, 2011, 3:13:55 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYou'll notice that Hisako does not take well to being disrespected. xD

nextguardianIt really does get easier.
Are things any better tonight?

YunieXTidus on April 15, 2011, 10:44:57 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYes. They started out as not so good, because I think I'm catching my mom's flu. But the day got better. I have very bubbly friends. xD It's infectious.

Also, have you seen the Percy Jackson movie? (there is a point to this, promise xDD )

nextguardian on April 15, 2011, 10:54:28 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, that's good to hear :) Get well soon.

I can't say I have.

YunieXTidus on April 15, 2011, 10:56:08 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusDamn. It has this clip in it I really wanted you to see. I'm doing a thorough scavenge on youtube. It perfectly portrays how Hisako's water jutsu whatever it's called attaches to you. I'll find it! It may take a while. xD

nextguardian on April 15, 2011, 10:59:30 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, okay. That would be cool to see ^^

YunieXTidus on April 15, 2011, 11:01:50 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYou don't happen to have netflix?

nextguardian on April 15, 2011, 11:03:08 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNo, I don't :(

What I DO have is an update to that new story. I meant to get it up last night because it might have cheered you up, but it was too short. So, it's late, but I think you'll get a huge kick out of this chapter. I hope so, anyway. I laughed while writing it, while I turned several shades of red, I might add.

YunieXTidus on April 15, 2011, 11:07:04 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI have GOT to see this! x3

nextguardian on April 15, 2011, 11:18:22 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianEnjoy! Too bad I had to edit it for content. XD

YunieXTidus on April 15, 2011, 11:20:07 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYou could always email the unedited version ;)

nextguardian on April 15, 2011, 11:29:40 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAt some point I might do that. If I did that now, I'd get distracted from the real story and it would be waaayyyy too out there ;) I thought about having Azami interrogate Yuji with a friend, for example, so he'd be getting it from both sides. But I think it worked out well.

YunieXTidus on April 15, 2011, 11:31:26 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol I'd love to see THAT xD I'm reading it now. So far, awesome as usual.

nextguardian on April 15, 2011, 11:33:28 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThanks :)

I also had some much deeper sexual overtones between them originally. Even some public nudity, but that didn't seem to fit the story.

YunieXTidus on April 15, 2011, 12:11:50 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusCommented. :) loved it. I said more in my comment. I may update my fight fic. Thanks to you!

nextguardian on April 15, 2011, 12:15:15 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThanks! I'm really glad you liked it. I admit, I almost chickened out of having Yuji wear the lace thong, lmao!

Did the whole whip and rope thing fit okay? It was making me a little vervous because I haven't ever really written something like that. (What was especially weird was Yuji feigning reluctance, while Azami was partially feigning enjoyment)

Yay! Please do update!

YunieXTidus on April 15, 2011, 12:17:00 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYes everything was so totally believable. You did so well. xD I'm not sure what to say other than that.

And tee hee.

nextguardian on April 15, 2011, 12:24:05 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm glad it worked out. Thanks again for reading ^^

Next chapter will be fun at first, but the story will get darker after that.

YunieXTidus on April 15, 2011, 1:01:51 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI look forward to it. You always have good stuff.

Working on my update now!

nextguardian on April 15, 2011, 2:44:43 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThanks :) I'm really uncertain about this next chapter, to be honest. You'll see why.

I can't wait! More please ^^

YunieXTidus on April 15, 2011, 2:46:01 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'll be done in the next twenty minutes, max!!!

YunieXTidus on April 15, 2011, 2:47:53 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYou're gonna love Hisako's prodding with Neji. xD

nextguardian on April 15, 2011, 2:52:05 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm sure I will ^^ I can't wait. Hisako seems like she'd be very good at insults and the like. I could see her having an acid tongue.

YunieXTidus on April 15, 2011, 2:53:37 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWhen she gets pissed off, she can be very sharp tongued. xD As you can see. :/ Neji gets what's coming to him. Man, my inner dislike for Neji really shines through in this little segment. xDDD

nextguardian on April 15, 2011, 2:59:31 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat's what makes her such a good character. She's good with Sakura, but she'll put her in her place when necessary. Seems like she can do that with everyone. It's a good character contrast imho.

YunieXTidus on April 15, 2011, 3:01:06 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThanks! It's always good to hear positive feedback about a character.

Also, how does "Ninja Art: Water Encasement/Entrapment Jutsu" sound? If that seems too silly, I'll just go with the "suitoru" that you suggested, if you don't mind.

nextguardianI thought I might have. I honestly couldn't think of any good filler material the way I had things arranged in my mind. The love at first site thing had to happen, and then the quick progression started. I'll fix that soon.

Cool, I'll take a look when I've got more time. I'm glad that part worked out. I didn't want it to be all fanservice (no matter how tempting). I really want there to be a solid plot. The plot will be more evident soon.

Thank you for the feedback!

YunieXTidus on April 12, 2011, 2:38:25 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOf course! I can't wait to see what you do with it.

YunieXTidus on April 13, 2011, 11:11:12 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOne interesting thing you could do is have her actually trying to get secrets from him about Konoha, by means of breaking his spirit so he'll do anything she asks, but eventually she sees what a genuine good person he is and ends up falling for him. :3 Although, i'm sure whatever you do with it will be awesome. xD

nextguardian on April 13, 2011, 11:37:39 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYou aren't far off the mark, actually. She's definitely going to be playing a very deep game with him.

Oh, btw, I found a couple pics of how I picture Azami to dress. I really haven't done her justice trying to explain her. And I can't draw her- at all. I've tried, and by the end of it, I either feel like a pervert or I've snapped my drawing utensils. (On that note, my brush came from Japan, so I can finish that co-op pic tomorrow! :) )

When I've said 'gown' or 'dress' in the past, this is what I was thinking of: http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww93/respititokapuroy/kelly_hu_martial_arts.jpg

Also this for her combat look: http://media.photobucket.com/image/rezi%20anime%20assassin/Werewolf_lover_Photo/Anime%20girls/Ani...

And finally:

http://www.saatkhoonmaaf.info/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/priyanka-chopra-martial-arts.jpg

With the long pants and sash, that's good for training. Usually for bed she wears the same tank top thing, but with boyshorts.

YunieXTidus on April 13, 2011, 11:56:17 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThey totally fit her character, and actually I'd kind of pictured those same kinds of things. ^^

I've lo(misplaced)st my Ryofu drawing in the ever growing pile of rubbish on my bed xD

Make me a very happy girl, and tell me you're about to update one of your fics. :)))))

nextguardian on April 13, 2011, 3:17:25 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI knew what I wanted, but I never knew how to explain it. That's a handy visual aid. I love that one assassin pic. I could see that being a basis for Azami's bounty hunter past.

lol, happens to me, too. Except my junk tends to pile up on my desk moreso than my bed.

I might be able to accomodate you, actually...
'Serving' has been updated!

Certainly, I'd be happy to help. What kind of direction are you looking to take the fight?

YunieXTidus on April 13, 2011, 10:16:02 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell,I've pretty much got the basis of it, I was just hoping you could help me like... stretch it out or something. And I did have a couple questions noted in parentheses xD

nextguardian on April 14, 2011, 12:10:24 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianSure thing! I've just replied to your email. Hopefully I was of some help. But really, you don't need much, because it's seriously good all on it's own.

YunieXTidus on April 14, 2011, 12:11:43 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThanks, that will help loads! And thank you. I tried really hard to make it as good as possible.

nextguardian on April 14, 2011, 12:13:48 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYour thought process for the battle is perfect. It fits the scenario and it's totally believable. Those are the two biggest things imho.

YunieXTidus on April 14, 2011, 12:17:28 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThank you. I tried to give it a Naruto feel while adding Hisako to it. xD

nextguardian on April 14, 2011, 12:20:28 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYou did a great job of that. It feels very 'Naruto' from where I sit.

YunieXTidus on April 14, 2011, 12:22:31 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat's good to hear, especially after the evening I've had.

nextguardian on April 14, 2011, 12:25:11 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh? May I ask what happened? (No pressure to tell me, of course!)

YunieXTidus on April 14, 2011, 12:28:05 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusA bunch of stuff came to light about my ex boyfriend (the one I told you about before) and I almost made a really big mistake.

nextguardian on April 14, 2011, 12:29:29 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAh, I'm sorry to hear tht. A situation like that is awkward no matter what. That would ruin anyone's night. I feel bad that I can't do anything besides offer a sympathetic ear.

YunieXTidus on April 14, 2011, 12:35:50 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWhich I appreciate. :) I found out he broke up with his girlfriend (my friend) and my immediate thought was that I could message him and things could go back to the way they were. Then I started talking to her and she told me something he said about me (that I had already suspected, but t still hurt to hear), that he only stand with me for the "thrill" of it, not to actually be with me. The "thrill" is that I'm a minor according to federal law and he's 22. and he had recently been turning to drugs more and more. I want to be there for him, to help him get back on the right track.

nextguardian on April 14, 2011, 12:47:11 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThe thrill of it? As a fellow man, hearing something like that pisses me off. A girl is not some disposable object, and to treat one so carelessly... (shakes head). If you want a fixer-upper, you could do much better than that. There are plenty of guys with baggage out there who would welcome someone to depend on; not abuse the privelege. I hope I'm not overstepping here; I don't know him, and I'm certainly not going to claim to be privy to everything, but if I'm completely honest with you, then this dude worries me. If he's doing drugs, then it's easy to get someone else into them. I won't speak out against relationships with minors, because the law doesn't take into account the individual levels of maturity of those involved, but I would be concerned. Being a friend and supporter is one thing; being played by this guy is another. Speaking as an objective friend, and heck, you don't need me to tell you this, but be careful. That sort of situation is worrisome. Good for you exercising willpower, btw. I know the pull to fall for this guy has to be strong, but I can promise you, knowing guys like him, it won't ever benefit you to try to change him. Not until he matures up.

Boy, I hope you're still speaking to me after that monologue. I apologize for the length and undertone, but I just had another friend have the exact same issue. Turns out I went to high school with her ex, and I would have totally warned her off if I had known. So, yeah, sorry for the sermon ^^' You're smart, so please don't take all that as me talking down to you. I don't mean it that way in the least, mi tomodachi! (Wow, I butchered THREE languages in this monologue! Go me!)

nextguardian on April 14, 2011, 12:52:03 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI've got to step out for, like, 45 minutes. I'll be back after that, though. And I think I'll be updating tonight :)

nextguardianWell, that's good to hear at any rate. I've been miserable today for no good reason. Just one of those days.

It's going to be a huge update. I'm almost at the eight page mark, and there's a lot more substance in there than usual. I think you'll get a kick out of it.

YunieXTidus on April 11, 2011, 1:26:05 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, that's no good! Be happy, I command you! If I were there, I'd give you a hug. My hugs make everything slightly better. ;P

Holy cow! That's a lot. I can't wait to read it!

nextguardian on April 11, 2011, 1:34:06 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThanks :) The intent to hug works, too. I'll get over whatever it is that's bothering me eventually.

I'm at a really fun part now. I bet you'll be able to figure out what part I mean right away XD

YunieXTidus on April 11, 2011, 1:35:25 PM

Hehe, are you blushing?

nextguardian on April 11, 2011, 1:40:08 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, thank you.

Not quite, but almost. lol. So far, the content is actually pretty tasteful, and nothing is done without a purpose, so there should be a natural feel to the story and it's progression.

YunieXTidus on April 11, 2011, 1:40:41 PM

YunieXTidusHuurrrrrryyy up and update!!!!

nextguardian on April 11, 2011, 1:46:51 PM

YunieXTidus on April 11, 2011, 1:50:17 PM

nextguardian on April 11, 2011, 1:55:15 PM

YunieXTidus on April 11, 2011, 1:57:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh, i have this chapter floating around, about Hisako's jutsu... it isn't finished, but i haven't touched it in weeks. I'm going to post what i have to Naruto Fanservice (for no purpose whatsoever).

nextguardian on April 11, 2011, 2:01:00 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianCooL! I was just wondering about Hisako in combat, actually. That has to be...terrifying, if you're on the wrong end of it.

YunieXTidus on April 11, 2011, 2:03:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHeh, wait til I finish that chapter. Neji will piss his pants.

YunieXTidus on April 11, 2011, 2:04:39 PM

YunieXTidusJust posted it btw.

nextguardian on April 11, 2011, 2:16:10 PM

And I've updated! I've already forgotten the title, though. lol. I'm probably going to change it. But the first chapter is up!

YunieXTidus on April 11, 2011, 2:16:38 PM

nextguardian on April 11, 2011, 2:25:15 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI don't think you'll be disappointed. I'm having fun with this direction. It's hard to keep Yuji such an ostensibly 'good guy'. He's more fun when he has an edge to him. But everyone tries to project that, so I had to work extra hard to not do what a lot of other people do. I think it worked out fairly well.

YunieXTidus on April 11, 2011, 3:08:20 PM

YunieXTidus on April 10, 2011, 2:26:12 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYeah, that's why I decided against getting one on the back of my neck. I'd rather not wear turtlenecks all year round, or have to wear my hair down constantly.

That's really cool. I'd totally do that. xD

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWeird because my internet has been acting up, and I've been extremely moody about it. And my friend has been nonresponsive for most of the weekend.

I finished catching up on naruto!!

I also got some more written on my IruHisa.

nextguardian on April 9, 2011, 12:31:25 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat's weird. I've had that exact same trouble this weekend :\

Cool! That's great; I can't wait to read it!

YunieXTidus on April 9, 2011, 12:58:00 PM

YunieXTidusI'll probably get the second part done tonight, and put it up.

YunieXTidus on April 9, 2011, 1:33:06 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusActually I take that back. Tomorrow... I've got a splitting headache tonight. I hope you're doing well. Good night!

YunieXTidus on April 10, 2011, 1:12:22 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWhat happened to make this day bad?

nextguardian on April 10, 2011, 1:13:49 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianJust a run of bad luck. Narrow miss while driving, stomach ache, tooth ache, headache, and some game I was looking forward to hasn't come out yet when I could have sworn it did. Then I got called into work and nearly got beheaded by a rogue puck. lol, it was quite a run of bad luck!

Are you feeling better?

YunieXTidus on April 10, 2011, 1:17:47 PM

How're your fics/pics coming?

YunieXTidus on April 10, 2011, 1:22:40 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm not particularly happy with the way Ryofu looks. He doesn't look how I see him in my head, but it will have to do. When I go to my room for the night,I'll work more on IruHisa. I'll get the second part done tonight.

nextguardian on April 10, 2011, 1:25:49 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI know that feeling. I think you did a really great job, though.

I'm still working on the war fic I started. I think I'm going to make it a 10 chapter mini-series or something.

IruHisa- want more NOW! :)

YunieXTidus on April 10, 2011, 1:27:36 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHee hee. Be patient! More tonight!

nextguardian on April 10, 2011, 1:32:55 PM

nextguardianI can't wait :)
I'm hoping to get some of that war fic up tonight. I'm hoping to do one release a week or something for it.

YunieXTidus on April 10, 2011, 1:42:51 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusSounds great! I look forward to it. Starting on my IruHisa update now. :)

(Still stuck on my original fic, though. I just don't know what to do now.)

nextguardian on April 10, 2011, 1:48:39 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianExcellent!

I've got no idea there myself. I'm drawing a blank on 'Serving', too. But I'm so focused on the war fic, so that's probably why.

YunieXTidus on April 10, 2011, 1:51:16 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm hoping after I do a couple of these side-fics, I'll snap out of my funk.

I can't wait to read this new fic. It's good to see something new from you!

nextguardian on April 10, 2011, 1:56:24 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat's usually how it works for me. I get so hung up on the romance fics, that I forget the combat fics, or vice versa.

Thanks :) I think I've got an interesting direction, so it's flowing nicely right now.

YunieXTidus on April 10, 2011, 1:57:01 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOff-subject question- have you ever thought about getting a tattoo?

nextguardian on April 10, 2011, 2:00:03 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianActually, yes. A couple times. How about you?

YunieXTidus on April 10, 2011, 2:02:54 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYeah, I'm considering it now. I turn 18 this summer, and I'm thinking about getting one, but I can't find quite the right pattern that I want. My friend's brother's girlfriend had this really cool tattoo, and I can't find anything remotely similar.

This was the central part of it:
http://laporte-design.com/images/cardImages/trinityKnot-big.gif

But it had some more intricate work branching out from the center, and I just can't find anything like it.

nextguardian on April 10, 2011, 2:05:16 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat's pretty cool. May I ask where (as in what area of the body) you plan to get this tattoo? If you don't want to say, that's okay.

When I thought about it, I wanted either geometric design, or something sort of gothic looking. Not a cross outright, but something along those lines. I thought about high up on my shoulder, or on the bottom of my feet (weird, I know)

YunieXTidus on April 10, 2011, 2:07:06 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNah, foot tattoos are cool.

I haven't quite decided, but the tattoo I wanted was going to be on my upper lower-back. (if that makes sense, lol) If I can't find the one I was looking for, I'll probably get it on my shoulder.

nextguardianI've been meaning to play it, but I just honestly haven't had time. I'm so far behind with so many games.

Ah, thank you! I didn't get to the part I'd really hoped for. But the battle scene played out well, I think, given that I typed this up like I had a sugar-rush of creativity!

Well, I've got to go for tonight. Thanks for the feedback! As always, it was good talking with you!

nextguardianAh!That's done; I'm getting ready to post it :)

Well, I was thinking of having retooling Yuji's entire story. Before I get into that, are you familiar with Resident Evil at all? (the game series)

YunieXTidus on April 6, 2011, 12:22:35 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYay! And I'm sorry to report that the only thing I know about the games is that it involves zombies. It's not really up my alley... just watching my cousin play for twenty minutes gave me nightmares.

nextguardian on April 6, 2011, 12:25:55 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt's up under Naruto Couples :) Enjoy!

That's okay. There's a girl there that is very reminiscent of Azami. A bounty hunter named 'Ada'. I was going to basically have Yuji play a 'loyal soldier' role, and have him actually involved in an honest to goodness shinobi war. He'd be out on the front lines, miserable because he has to kill people all the time, and lonely as hell. He fights with a rival shinobi, initially wearing a mask. He cuts the mask off, sees Azami's face, and basically falls in love. She captures him, and interrogates him. And...there we are!

YunieXTidus on April 6, 2011, 12:34:49 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusCommented!

That sounds like an interesting story! I'd look forward to reading that. i'm actually feeling a little inspired to draw tonight... I promised andr28a that I'd do a drawing of Ryofu, and I never got around to it. I'm thinking I may toy with it tonight. Although, Ryofu has such interesting features (involving colour) I'm thinking of trying my hand at coloring on the computer as well as doing my usual shading bit.

nextguardian on April 6, 2011, 12:41:42 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm glad you enjoyed it. I think I was too tame with the yuri in retrospect, but I liked the story. Some part of me wanted them to declare themselves bisexual and have both of them own Yuji, but that's so far away from my style I couldn't do it. Not well, anyway. lol.

His character is fun to write about, too. Definitely an intresting character development. The original Ryofu was close to a psycopath if memory serves, with god-like abilities. I like this version much better. There's a good story behind him.

YunieXTidus on April 6, 2011, 12:43:30 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus'Original?'

nextguardian on April 6, 2011, 12:51:21 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, yes. The current Ryofu is very different from his first form. That's my opinion, but I think Andr28a would agree with me. The first Ryofu had the same appearance, but was a lot more murderous.

YunieXTidus on April 6, 2011, 12:55:53 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHmm... I'll have to take a closer look at some of his earlier work. I'm really not sure what to do with my story from here....

nextguardian on April 6, 2011, 1:00:23 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHe deleted all his original stuff, I think. Which is something I should do.

Which story are you on? SakuKaku? HisaIru? YujiSasuke'ssister?

YunieXTidus on April 6, 2011, 1:26:45 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusDon't delete your original stuff! It shows how far you've come!

Um, my original story. I can't think of a Chapter 30... :(

And ARGH I keep making Ryofu's face too effeminate. I suck at drawing guys.

nextguardian on April 6, 2011, 1:31:57 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt's so bad, though! XD I don't know what I was thinking of half the time!

Hmm...let me see if any ideas hit me.

I have that problem, too. Of course, I can't draw girls- that just stands to reason. Usually the eyes are what messes me up.

YunieXTidus on April 6, 2011, 1:34:52 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'll email you the sketch I have... I've kind of made him more masculine by defining his neck and broadening his shoulders. I tried to square his jawline a little more than I usually do.

nextguardian on April 6, 2011, 1:40:41 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianPlease do :)

Oh, my part in our co-op pic- I'm just waiting for new brush to get here from Japan. My old one got eaten by my puppy -_-'

YunieXTidus on April 6, 2011, 1:42:19 PM

Lol woo for naughty puppies!

nextguardian on April 6, 2011, 1:43:23 PM

nextguardianHmm, the only thing that I can think of is somehow making his hair more severe and angular.

She was darned cute while she was destroying it, so I couldn't even get mad.

YunieXTidus on April 6, 2011, 1:45:05 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol what breed?

nextguardian on April 6, 2011, 1:56:53 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBoston Terrier/Beagle. Otherwise known as a 'Boglen Terrier', or a 'Boggle'. She's evil, but adorable.

YunieXTidus on April 6, 2011, 1:58:40 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol I'm sure her evil nature is part of the attraction!

That sounds cute.

I think I fixed him. Not exactly how I picture Ryofu, but it'll do. xD

nextguardian on April 6, 2011, 2:03:28 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt is, in a way. She's very active and curious. I named her 'Hayate', after Lt. Hawkeye's dog in FMA because they look alike (actually, that's what made me choose her in the first place).

Cool! I can't wait to see that.

Could I get your opinion on a short bit of fiction I've been toying with?

YunieXTidus on April 6, 2011, 2:05:47 PM

YunieXTidusOf course!

it's really a wonderful, heartbreaking story. here's a 'trailer' someone made for the game on youtube:

nextguardianIruka does tend to slip between the cracks, doesn't he?

I admit, I'm curious- you aren't offended by yuri at all? Then again, I'm not offended by yaoi as a guy with a good ,healthy interest in girls, so I'm not sure why I would think it would.

YunieXTidus on April 3, 2011, 1:30:14 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIf I'm considering writing a HisaKonan fic, I don't think yuri offends me. ;) Nah, it doesn't offend me. I love yaoi/yuri simply because it's so different. The same way guys think it's hot when two girls make out, I think it's hot when two guys make out. xD

He does, poor thing! I really tried hard to capture his character in this one. I hope I did okay. ^^'

nextguardian on April 4, 2011, 6:06:56 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAh, I always wondered if the reverse was true. lol. And yeah, if you're writing the fic, I don't suppose it would offend you XD That's me tying before I think.

You did. I really think you nailed Iruka's thought process. Especially the guilt for breaking the rules part.

I've just updated 'Serving'. Enjoy!

YunieXTidus on April 4, 2011, 7:43:03 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm glad you think so. Although, he is known for his temper flare-ups, especially when it comes to Naruto, so I'll have to find a way to work that in.

Awesome, I'm off to read it now!

nextguardian on April 5, 2011, 10:29:39 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianTrue. That's one of my favorite things about Iruka's character, actually ^^

nextguardian on April 5, 2011, 12:44:26 PM

nextguardianIt's pretty light on the actual Yuri so far, but I thought it was important to highlight the differences between the two.

YunieXTidus on April 5, 2011, 1:10:48 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI really like the way you've set it up. It's an interesting way to start it off, and I think you do well with highlighting said differences. I can't wait to see how this turns out! ^^

nextguardian on April 5, 2011, 1:15:47 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThank you^^ I can't believe how timid I am with this stuff. Death scenes- no problem. Awkward love- easy. This- huh? I've really got to loosen up a bit. lol.

How HisaIru coming?

YunieXTidus on April 5, 2011, 1:19:01 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol it's kind of understandable, though. It's sort of... foreign territory for you, isn't it? :P Although I do agree with the last sentiment! Loosen up a bit! xD

Well, I'm toying around with ideas in my head, but nothing on paper yet. Er... on computer yet. xD I'll probably type up some more tomorrow.

nextguardian on April 5, 2011, 1:23:15 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHaha, I suppose it is at that! Still, it's really fun, hot foreign territory! I cannot believe I'm so lame that my own writing is making me blush.

That's a good way to brainstorm, too ^^

YunieXTidus on April 5, 2011, 1:26:39 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol that's actually kind of cute. xD

Yeah, I'm just trying to find a way for them to meet again that doesn't seem forced.

nextguardian on April 5, 2011, 1:28:50 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHWell, that's good to know :D

I wish I had some sort of idea for you, but I don't really. Unless you have Hisako talk to Iruka more about how she holds back for Sakura's sake.

YunieXTidus on April 5, 2011, 1:35:29 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYeah... I'm thinking maybe I'll have them bump into each other at the library, or while they're out grocery shopping.

nextguardian on April 5, 2011, 1:40:25 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat's a good idea. I was thinking more, and I was thinking something like this:

Iruka: You're really independent for your age, aren't you (teacher mode)
Hisako: (Vein throbbing) I SAID i'm 19...
Iruka: sorry, sorry...you just have such a cute look- (claps hand over mouth in shock.

YunieXTidus on April 5, 2011, 1:42:23 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLmao that's perfect! I'm totally stealing that.

nextguardian on April 5, 2011, 1:45:48 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianPlease do :D

lol, I was thinking of how Azami and Sakura were going to break the news to Yuji at the end that they 'found' each other...

YunieXTidus on April 5, 2011, 1:51:03 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLmao THAT is going to be the best part. Poor Yuji... I think it will totally shatter him to know that he turned the two girls he loves gay. xD

nextguardian on April 5, 2011, 1:52:48 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt's so cruel...the one thing I haven't done to him yet, lmao! The poor guy. Then again, maybe they'll let him watch or something to make it up to him? It would totally suck is they were like, 'sorry, we were totally both gonna pick you, but then...well, you know how it is. Sorta. Not really.'

YunieXTidus on April 5, 2011, 1:55:04 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLmao talk about dangling the trophy right in front of his nose before snatching it away! xD Although I could totally see them letting him watch. I'm just not sure he'd be up for it! He might faint before the clothes were even off.

nextguardian on April 5, 2011, 2:01:12 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHe'd probably spout something about being a gentleman the whole time, then sit down and watch. Poor guy. He's got morals, but then again, the two girls you're in love with getting it on with each other and they're letting you watch? Morals, schmorals at that point, I'd imagine. Never been in that happy little situation personally :( (XD)

I've got to do a fic outlining just how scared and submissive Yuji is toward girls.

YunieXTidus on April 5, 2011, 2:02:57 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLmao. Maybe someday.

And yes! Do it!

I can understand that sentiment.

They just seem to match somehow. It's too bad Itachi and Sasuke didn't have a moody, lone wolf sister for Yuji!

YunieXTidus on April 1, 2011, 2:13:46 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHehehe you should do it! Dooo eeet.

Even if they did, if Yuji so much looked at her, he'd be ripped to shreds.

Oh, which one? HisaKonan or the Itachi thing?

YunieXTidus on April 1, 2011, 2:19:28 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, since you don't feel up to the challenge... ;) I guess, both. But I was referring to the UchihaXYuji. How do you feel about Sachiko as a name for Sasuke's sister? Is it too... sultry? Idk.

nextguardian on April 1, 2011, 2:24:50 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol! I can't get my own chars love life in order, and we're talking boy/girl! You get into girl/girl...wow. Nice. I could try...but you first!

Hmm...actually, when I thought of this concept before, I gave the uchiha girl the name 'Tomoe', because the extra pupils in the sharingan eye can be referred to as tomoe. But I'm good with whatever you come up with ^^

YunieXTidus on April 1, 2011, 2:27:04 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWow, I'm bristling with ideas! I don't know which to write first. So far I'm considering...

HisaIru
HisaSai
HisaKisa .... lol
HisaIta
IzuHisaKotet
HisaKonan
AND
Uchi-Yu.

Jeezus!

nextguardian on April 1, 2011, 2:49:08 PM

nextguardianAwesome! I can't wait for more to that story!

Quick question (and be honest): If I keep it semi-mild, do you think that 'dark mistress' Sakura could kind of rough Yuji up with a whip or something?

YunieXTidus on April 1, 2011, 12:49:41 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHmm... Honestly, I don't think Sakura would allow it. Not only is it harmful, it serves no purpose other than being humiliating. You could give it a shot, but it's personally not my thing.

nextguardian on April 1, 2011, 1:02:04 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianDamn, I should have just made Azami the vampire! It's so frustrating now. I've got Sakura in a split personality sort of thing, but I've got no clue what to do with it! Gah, I wrote myself into a corner! XD

YunieXTidus on April 1, 2011, 1:12:26 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI was just thinking that! I was about to say, "If it was Azami, I don't see why not. She's naturally sadistic anyway. ;)"

nextguardian on April 1, 2011, 1:16:05 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI should kick myself for that bit of stupidity -_-' Although I wonder if Sakura has a sadistic side underneath it all. She has been training with TSunade, after all, and she seems like she'd be a sadist.

YunieXTidus on April 1, 2011, 1:18:09 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusFair enough. She seems to enjoy smacking Naruto around.

nextguardian on April 1, 2011, 1:23:10 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianTrue. But you're right. It still doesn't fit her. Hmm. I'm going to have to really think about it now. Oh well.

I'm curious: Who would have been Hisako's second choice, is Tenzo didn't work out?

YunieXTidus on April 1, 2011, 1:26:44 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI believe you've asked me this before. x)

That's really hard to say. Maybe Izumo or Kotetsu... (or both, lol) Maybe even Genma? I don't know.

Who could you see her with, other than Tenzo?

nextguardian on April 1, 2011, 1:31:03 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, I probably did. But your answer is different this time, I think!

If you made an IzuKoteHisa fic, I would seriously laugh. Out of surprise, anyway, because it would be really good when I actually read it XD If you do that, then I'll have to do a SakAzaAsuInoTenTemaYuji fic! lol

Hmm...I could see her with Raido, Genma, or Lee.

YunieXTidus on April 1, 2011, 1:36:41 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWhat about Iruka or Sai?

nextguardian on April 1, 2011, 1:38:36 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHmm...Sai, yes. Iruka I think would be too timid to attempt a relationship with a younger girl. He's not as accomplished as Kakashi and Tenzo. But Sai would be an interesting one.

YunieXTidusWell, I'm sure Hisako could convince him otherwise. :3 I mean, she's 19, and genin by choice. The story's in part I right now, and he's 23. That's only 4 years. For some reason, I can't see Iruka being able to resist the cute, feisty girl. xD

I'm not even sure how I would begin to go about doing one with Sai. xD

nextguardian on April 1, 2011, 1:46:53 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI could see you making it work. Every time I try to use Iruka in one of my fics, it winds up not working well, so I might be biased XD

That would be a really interesting couple, though! She could teach him how to be human.

YunieXTidus on April 1, 2011, 1:48:39 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAnd lol at your earlier comment of IzuHisaKotet. See you should do a (everygirl)Yu anyway, as payment for the picture! x) Just kidding, but really you should.

I'm gonna have to play around with those 3 ideas. You're right, Sai would be interesting.

YunieXTidus on April 1, 2011, 1:49:03 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWhat about Gaara?

nextguardian on April 1, 2011, 1:51:35 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat would be scary. Interesting, but scary. I don't know who I'd be more afraid of XD

What about Kankuro?

YunieXTidus on April 1, 2011, 1:52:58 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHey, Gaara... somewhere deep down, he just wants to be loved!

Only if he took off the makeup.

YunieXTidus on April 1, 2011, 1:54:54 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'd totally do one of Tobi, if he wasn't actually Madara. Tobi was such a cute, fun character. I miss Tobi. ;_;

nextguardian on April 1, 2011, 1:57:04 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianTrue enough.

And lol, don't blame you there.

Tobi was interesting, yes. Oh, I know: HisakoXKisame!

YunieXTidus on April 1, 2011, 1:57:48 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAck! Fishface.

nextguardian on April 1, 2011, 2:01:51 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHaha! XD

Hisako and Nagato! And maybe Yuji X Konan?

YunieXTidus on April 1, 2011, 2:03:28 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol i read that as Hisako and Konan. I was like wait, what?

Nah, Nagato pisses me off.

And actually, the Kisame one might be interesting. I need to keep a list. xD

nextguardianIt's a good reaction from where I sit. Being able to swallow any fear you've got and take care of someone else is certainly admirable :)

Hey, you never know. You could always point out that, according to Native American customs, since you saved his life, you own his life. (shrug) Just saying ;)

YunieXTidus on March 31, 2011, 1:44:11 PM

YunieXTidus on March 31, 2011, 1:48:28 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHonestly, there was never anything else I could do. I was standing behind him when I saw his knees buckle, and my hands just automatically went out around him. The blood and stuff was nasty but as long as I didn't look at it, I was okay.

And yeah, I should totally try that. ;)

nextguardian on March 31, 2011, 1:56:52 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNot true; you cared enough to help. I've known people in similar positions who actively choose not to do anything. Our instinctual reactions in that kind of situation show us what kind of person we are.

It couldn't hurt. Just remember that not all tribes follow that custom. I'm not Native American personally, but a relative of mine married into a tribe and got really into the culture.

YunieXTidus on March 31, 2011, 1:59:24 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol like the rest of the people there. xD I have a very tender heart. If someone I care about is hurting, I want to do whatever I can to help. Honestly I'm pretty proud of my reaction. I'm glad I kept a clear head (aside from almost fainting).

Yeah, I'm like, 1/15 cherokee. Not enough to actually matter, but it's cool to be able to say that. Honestly, though. I'd love to date him. Aside from stupid moments like today, he's a pretty cool guy.

nextguardian on March 31, 2011, 2:06:09 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianMost of my friends are the type who'd haul me to my feet, laughing at my stupidity if I did that. It wouldn't occur to them to catch me. But they're good people at heart, I suppose XD

Ah, that's cool. It's an interesting heritage. Good luck with this guy, too.

YunieXTidus on March 31, 2011, 2:09:12 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThanks, but I doubt anything's gonna happen. I mean, it would be awesome, but I doubt it.

On another note, how's the Asuna/Japan thing coming?

nextguardian on March 31, 2011, 2:12:21 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianDoubt does not equal definite, my friend. Pursue away :)

Not bad, actually. I'm going to try to see what I can do with an actual brush. I haven't done any of that work in a while, but done properly, the writing will look much more appropriate.

Question: What do you think a realistic way for Yuji and Sakura to start dating?

YunieXTidus on March 31, 2011, 2:16:52 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThanks for the encouragement! :)

Awesome, I look forward to seeing what you do.

Hmm... Well, one way is like, they both do their reports for Tsunade at the same teahouse or coffeeshop or whatever, and they eventually start sitting together. Once, Yuji or Sakura will ask the other if they want to go there without reports in the way. Make it a weekly/monthly thing until voila, someone pops the "let's just make it official" statement question.

nextguardian on March 31, 2011, 2:21:23 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNo problem. Hopefully, you'll have to give me the same type of encouragement someday!

That makes sense. I was in the middle of another horndog idea, like 'Okay, Yuji walks in on Sakura getting changed in Tsunade's office and then...', but I was thinking more like mature, realistic relationship with time. Dunno why XD

YunieXTidus on March 31, 2011, 2:22:29 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol I'm such a bad influence on you! I'm not sure what kind of relationship would come from that scenario, other than Yuji getting his @$$ beat. Just sayin'.

nextguardian on March 31, 2011, 2:25:03 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHaha, true. Although he might just apologize enough to where she eventually can look him in the eye again and pat his head. Then he could say 'I'll do anything to make it up to you', and that's that. Sakura gets an evil glint in her eye. "anything? ...hm." Tell you right now, he'd be doing more than her laundry!
...
You ARE a bad influence on me. I thought it was the other way around!

YunieXTidus on March 31, 2011, 2:26:39 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh, MY! xD I did crack up a little bit when i read the bit about the laundry. xDDD

What ever made you think that, dear?

nextguardian on March 31, 2011, 2:30:55 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, well, it's true. If you've got someome at your beck and call, and you either like them or are attracted to them (Or have something really good on them, I guess), then, well, nature takes it's course. I wouldn't know first hand, from either side of the table, natch.

lol, well, I'm writing that stupid pg-13 smut, and then you totally top me!

YunieXTidus on March 31, 2011, 2:32:54 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol if its pg13, it ain't smut. :)

nextguardian on March 31, 2011, 2:36:13 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianTrue enough. My stuff has always been innocent enough. I'll admit, after that fic I sent you (the one where Azami and Yuji are captured, and Yuji kills all of the bad guys), I had them totally comforting each other in bed, then getting busy after that. The innocent cuddle...(sigh) It's precisely that sort of behavior that ensures I don't get the girl! XD

YunieXTidus on March 31, 2011, 2:38:37 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI think its cute! If there were a guy like Yuji nearby, I'd so date him. And I'm sure I'd have no problems coaxing him to bed. ;P

nextguardian on March 31, 2011, 2:41:53 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, Yuji and I are both so behind the times it's borderline...no, absolutely pathetic. lol, oh well. It's like a dog that's so ugly it's cute.
And no, probably not. Being that affection starved, it wouldn't be difficult, I don't think.

YunieXTidus on March 31, 2011, 11:48:12 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHaha poor Yuji... poor you. I don't think it's that pathetic. Sometimes it's a hood thing to be behind the times.

nextguardian on April 1, 2011, 5:44:39 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI suppose so. I can look at myself in the mirror every morning without feeling (too much) disgust, so I must be doing okay. (See? That was lame, too!)

I've just updated Naruto Couples 2. Enjoy!

nextguardianYuji needs to die less, lol.

Oh, yeah, before I forget- I really liked how Hisako had control of the situation in the fic, sort of teasing Tenzo. I got a kick out of that.

If you have a second, what do you think about this concept? It was written outside of my usual style. The basic theme is forbidden love between a shinobi and a swordsman.

http://www.fanart-central.net/chapter-96226.html

YunieXTidus on March 29, 2011, 1:09:36 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh, he'd tease her just as badly when they got home, I'm sure.

And rofl! I liked it. I didn't know Yuji was into bondage! ;)

nextguardian on March 29, 2011, 1:13:13 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt's a nice give and take dynamic. The problem I normally have with romance fics is that I usually feel like the guy is taking advantage of the girl somehow. I didn't get that vibe with this one. It seemed to be an even relationship.

lol, well, I suppose he is. I wanted to play up Sakura's kunoichi side a bit, too. But he's so submissive anyway, it seemed to fit somehow ^^'

YunieXTidus on March 29, 2011, 1:36:22 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI don't usually get that vibe with romance fics, but I'm glad you didn't with mine! xD

And yeah, it did, kinda. Although I think she'd be too shy to actually say stuff like that, unless they'd already been intimate for a long time.

nextguardian on March 29, 2011, 1:42:27 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt usually seems like the girl is either completely immodest or ridiculously shy, and the guy is either overbearing or a mysoginist.

I think you're right. In retrospect, it was fun, but it didn't make much sense. Azami, on the other hand...

YunieXTidus on March 29, 2011, 1:43:41 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYeah, I think I understand. I don't really get very many of those, tbh.

And rofl I could SO see Azami pulling something like that.

nextguardian on March 29, 2011, 1:50:03 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat's just a byproduct of me being so jaded for no apparent reason XD I think I think that way because guys tend to treat girls like crap (at least at the schools I went to), but the girls sort of invited it. Eh, I'm old fashioned or something.

Azami is a lot of fun to write about. She's so relaxed about gender differences and all that. She's liberating to write about, compared to uptight little Yu-chan.

YunieXTidus on March 29, 2011, 1:52:20 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYeah, I understand. And old-fashioned is good! Yours is a dying species.

Lol Yu-chan. I think I may have Hisako call him that at some point, just to mess with him. xD

Btw I haven't mentioned today that I love you for writing that YuHisa one-shot. :D

nextguardian on March 29, 2011, 1:56:34 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYes indeed. Chivarly is difficult. I get more weird looks for opening the door for a girl these days. (shakes head) You'd think I'd flashed them or something. (Which I haven't, for the record).

Feel free. He'd put up with it because he's so terrified of her, lol.

No problem :) I'm glad it worked out OK.

Hmm...I need to continue that vampire fic I started. Stupid opening for Vampire Knight. Every guy reads that manga, but no one admits it. lol.

YunieXTidus on March 29, 2011, 1:58:44 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol is he terrified of her as a girl, or as someone who could mop the floor with him? ;)

nextguardian on March 29, 2011, 2:00:18 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianBoth. For sure, both. Yuji had a difficult time fighting girls, because he doesn't like to hit them. And he's terrified naturally, lol.

nextguardian on March 30, 2011, 7:40:04 AM

YunieXTidus on March 25, 2011, 2:13:20 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIt's a tie between the two, honestly. I picture Yuji as more of the homebody, and then Ryouko as the warrior, if that makes sense.

nextguardian on March 26, 2011, 12:00:09 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt does, actually. I would have kept Ryouko, except it's actually a feminine name. Kimihiro was a pain to type for some reason.

YunieXTidus on March 26, 2011, 12:02:12 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, whatever you decide. Tbh I think his name changes show the internal conflict with discovering himself, trying to find where he belongs. His sense of identity.

nextguardian on March 26, 2011, 12:09:51 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt kind of worked out that way. I basically needed an excuse to change his name, and that's what I came up with.

YunieXTidus on March 27, 2011, 12:00:55 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThanks. I'll work around it eventually. I may just need to start shelling out one-shots.

nextguardian on March 28, 2011, 5:39:29 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat usually cures me of writer's block. Doing two long fics like I'm doing now is a hazard. I was writing new stuff, and literally smacked myself in the forehead- I had completely forgotten about Shoki in 'Serving', and was making Yuji insane in 'Serving', too. I was like "...wait. Oh, crap! That would be a huge spoiler if I posted that!'

Pff. Oh well.

So, how are you today? I'm currently battling a nasty cold that I woke up with today.

YunieXTidus on March 28, 2011, 5:52:49 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm okay, other than the 1 hour of sleep I'm working on. xD

YunieXTidusOkay, so I'm almost done with another smutty story. I was thinking, what if Yamato and Hisako were in the 21st century, and went on a road trip together?

Naughty, naughty things happen, that's what. Mehehehe.

nextguardian on March 29, 2011, 12:42:31 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianTotally hot. How Tenzo's eyes are on the road at all is beyond me. It's well written. It doesn't seem forced at all, and the 1st person adds to it rather than detracts from it.

YunieXTidus on March 29, 2011, 12:43:37 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusCouldn't you totally see that happening, though? xD

I mean, Hisako's not exactly the shy type, and Tenzo could talk anybody out of their pants any day of the week.

nextguardian on March 29, 2011, 12:46:52 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI could picture it. Those two are so hot for each other anyway, plus their personalities. Yeah, it all makes sense from where I sit ^^

YunieXTidus on March 29, 2011, 12:48:01 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm trying to add more sexual tension in my actual story between them without them actually getting down and dirty. xD Or without distracting from the sweeter side of the romance.

nextguardian on March 29, 2011, 12:52:03 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt's a hard balance to keep. I find that I have a hard time writing about existing relationships. It seems like I can't keep it interesting after the confession, which is totally backwards, lol.

YunieXTidus on March 29, 2011, 12:54:49 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHmm. I could help you with that. I'm fascinated by relationships, and their progression. Like, the initial stage after the confession, you're both getting used to being able to touch each other, and being wanted by the other person. On the other hand, the stage of your relationship where you're comfortable with each other is also interesting, because you both just kind of flow, if that makes sense. You're more like one person than two.

YunieXTidus on March 24, 2011, 2:50:29 PM

YunieXTidusNo, I think considering the trauma he just went through, I think it's understandable.

And I'm glad you're concerned for my safety!

nextguardian on March 24, 2011, 2:53:29 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI didn't look at it that way, oddly enough. Thank you for pointing it out. It makes sense if I think of it that way. I was just going by him being his usual miserable, private self. lol. I can't wait until I decide which girl he'll pick. Or which one will pick him. Whichever. I feel like I should have chosen by now.

Of course! Who would read my fics if you were gone? ;) Jk, of course! You're a good friend. It would be a shame to lose you at all, not least of all because I had a creative dryspell

I've since re-read that fic you sent me, for the record :)

nextguardian on March 24, 2011, 3:42:26 PM

nextguardianSome parts, I admit. I admit, it's mostly the female reaction parts that got me. For some reason, it was...at the risk of sounding like a pervert, fascinating. On a scientific level, you understand.
XD Seriously, it was just that good that it warranted another read through :)

YunieXTidus on March 24, 2011, 3:44:18 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNah that isn't perverted. And now that you've said that, I'll have to focus more on that next time. And :))))))

nextguardian on March 24, 2011, 3:48:23 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt's odd. Somehow, the fic is more interesting because you're writing it. Because you happen to female, I tend to think that Hisako's reactions will be more genuine. If I tried to do the same sort of fic with Azami, it wouldn't work. If it was Yuji instead, maybe, although I'd have to change the mechanics quite a bit. But that's all theory. lol.

YunieXTidus on March 24, 2011, 3:49:45 PM

nextguardian on March 24, 2011, 3:59:34 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThough I doubt I'd ever actually write the fic, to be fair. I'm pretty timid about stuff like that.

nextguardianNo, your story will make ME blush, lol.

YunieXTidus on March 23, 2011, 1:03:22 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol oh, it so will. I wish I could see your face. xD Speaking of, I need to type that up and wrap it up, then it'll be over to you shortly! I'm unwrapping a CD right now that I've been waiting to get my paws on for months! :D

nextguardian on March 23, 2011, 1:10:35 PM

nextguardianIt's too bad Yuji is so lame. I really would love to have Azami and Sakura do...things...to win his affection. lol. You're rubbing off on me, I think!
Oh? What kind of CD? (As in, what kind of music).
I'm happy because a book I've been wanting just came in the mail today^^

YunieXTidus on March 23, 2011, 1:25:46 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusUm, pop/techno sort of? Have you heard of the band 30H!3? Their new cd.

The main gist of my story is... Hisako finds Naruto training, but takes him into the woods and they make love, but Hisako is left unfulfilled because Naruto is quite bad at it. Yamato, who was just in the area, takes pity on the girl and is only too happy to fulfill her... (muahaha)

nextguardian on March 23, 2011, 1:28:11 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI haven't heard of them, but I'm a semi-fan of the genre.

Good deal for Hisako, then! I've written those sorts of fics before, but I've never shared them.

YunieXTidus on March 23, 2011, 1:30:47 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, this is my favorite song so far from their latest album, and it's a pretty cool music video. A lot of their other stuff has explicit lyrics, so if you're not too keen on that, I wouldn't bother looking at a lot of their other stuff.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5iWxD0GZVVk

And in response to that, I think this is the part where I blush embarrassedly that I'm sharing, when you haven't, ;P. But I can't find it in myself to be embarrassed. xD

nextguardian on March 23, 2011, 1:34:38 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat is pretty darned catchy, I have to say. I've been listening to this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8ANlzNPyhI

No, if your work is good, you've got nothing to be embarassed about. My attempts are bad. Although one scenario where Ino blindsides Sakura with her Jutsu, stopping her from countering it, and makes her do 'stuff' to Yuji while threatening to make her do worse things if he doesn't do what she asks. It's a hot concept that I just haven't finished yet.

YunieXTidus on March 23, 2011, 1:36:38 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThis is a tiny little excerpt from my story. I'm almost done typing up my written part, and then I gotta finish it out.


Tenzo stood in an obscured treetop, his ANBU training at discretion coming in quite handy.

He’d never really considered himself as a man with voyeuristic tendineces. It was a little too ‘Kakashi’-esque for his tastes. But for some reason, he couldn’t manage to tear himself away from the scene unfolding below him.

Naruto was deflowering Hisako, and it did not seem to be going well for her.

Tenzo knew he held a soft spot for the unique kunoichi, but he never really knew if it resided in his heart or in his pants. All he knew right now, watching this fumbling adolescent display, was that if it had been him down there between the feisty brunette’s legs, he would have had her orgasmic by now.

Honestly, had having the infamous (pervert) Copy Ninja as an instructor teach this boy nothing? And don’t even bother asking about Jiraiya! During all that time, he didn’t learn a thing about how to please a woman?

Tenzo sighed in mild disgust. The kid was doing it all wrong.

nextguardianlmao, that's awesome! Hilarious, but vivid!

YunieXTidus on March 23, 2011, 1:43:04 PM

nextguardian on March 23, 2011, 1:48:24 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, this is going to be one entertaining fic, that much is certain.

I'm currently working more on the HisaKoji fic. Making good progress ^^ Still deciding on the ending. Given my style, it'll probably be more sweet than spicy.

YunieXTidus on March 23, 2011, 1:49:41 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusPerfectly fine by me! I love me some sweetness. :)

I'm wrapping mine up, too. It should be in your inbox within the next 15-20 minutes.

nextguardian on March 23, 2011, 1:57:06 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianGood :) I'll leave the physical romance to you, then. At least, this time XD

Sweet! I can't wait!

YunieXTidus on March 23, 2011, 2:35:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusALMOST done! Gawd, over 2000 words of smut. Can you handle this?

nextguardian on March 23, 2011, 2:39:45 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, I hope so! I'm really dying to read this little slice of (Makeout) Paradise!

Hopefully, you'll like what I've done with the HisaKoji fic. It took another unexpected turn. I think you'll like it, but I'm only guessing.

YunieXTidus on March 23, 2011, 2:41:16 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI like everything you write, so don't fret.

And heh, Hisako is one lucky chick.

nextguardian on March 23, 2011, 2:45:06 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWell, okay. I think you'll get a good laugh, if nothing else.

The thing that caught me I think was that it makes sense for Naruto to not be any good at it. I'm not sure why, but it does.

YunieXTidus on March 23, 2011, 2:46:44 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, poor kid, he's terrible at everything else. And he's so horrible with women.

I've got two or three more paragraphs, and then it'll be sitting in your inbox. >:3

nextguardian on March 23, 2011, 2:50:43 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, true. He might win, but he'll get his face beaten in first.

Awesome! I'm almost at that spot with the HisaKoji fic, actually :)

nextguardian on
nextguardianI think you're rubbing off on me. A fic idea hit me- just how far WOULD Yuji go for Sakura's attention, if she had a devious streak? We might be finding out in the near future.

YunieXTidus on March 21, 2011, 1:19:31 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh, my! Look forward to that. How's the YuHisa fic wrappin' up?

nextguardian on March 21, 2011, 1:22:56 PM

nextguardianIt's coming along nicely. I'd say I've got it 90% planned, and about 75% typed out. Odd way to put it, I know, but it changed midway through writing it.

YunieXTidus on March 21, 2011, 1:23:36 PM

nextguardianSorry for the wait. I had some unexpected company drop by and had to entertain -_-'

It shouldn't be much longer. I've made some good progress ^^

YunieXTidusGod, yes, please!!!!

nextguardian on March 21, 2011, 3:00:23 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOkay, the first part is posted under Naruto Couples 2. A couple notes:

-We haven't seen a ton of Hisako yet. That changes soon, don't worry. This is a lot of stage setting; the bulk comes later.

-Yuji is Kojiro for the simple reason that I felt the need to mess with his name again. Not sure if he'll keep it or not, but it's the same guy.

I've got to go for now. Enjoy, and have a good night!

YunieXTidus on March 21, 2011, 3:01:22 PM

It's good to see how you've grown, but it's hard to look back. My plots were paper-thin back then, for example.

YunieXTidusLol and fair enough.

nextguardian on March 19, 2011, 10:53:48 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOkay, I've got an answer for you. I don't know if it'll make any sense, but here goes: Best underwear for a girl matches her personality. If she's cute, then her underwear should be cute. If she's model hot, then her underwear should be model hot.
lol, I managed to answer AND dodge your question!

The old romance fics I can handle, but most of the other stuff...not so much.

YunieXTidus on March 19, 2011, 11:01:39 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHaha I think that makes sense.

Fair enough, then.

nextguardian on March 19, 2011, 11:04:37 AM

nextguardianI was sure that would make no sense to anyone but me, lol. Thought I'm pretty sure I could get past a girl's underwear choice if I liked her, lol. At least I HOPE I'm not that superficial!

I hope to be finished with HisaYuji by monday evening ^^

How's your fic coming?

YunieXTidus on March 19, 2011, 11:26:13 AM

YunieXTidusI've been too wrapped up in my life for the moment to write more, though I did start the next chapter a couple days ago. Then I typed up the radio sex and emailed that to you, but since then, nada.

nextguardian on March 19, 2011, 1:26:52 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianSame here, more or less. I haven't been able to really get to any of my fics. Even when I have time, I'm uncreative.

btw, the latest chapter in 'Serving'- I gather you were shocked at the marriage proposal. Was there anything you didn't like about the chapter in particular?

YunieXTidus on March 17, 2011, 3:20:47 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD That made me rofl.

I replied, too!

No, not at all. I really enjoyed it as a whole, and I particularly liked the way you described the cleansing ritual. Yes, I was quite shocked at the proposal. xD

nextguardian on March 17, 2011, 3:24:18 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI was kind of loling as I typed it XD

Got your reply. I'm all for more of that, in one fic or two!

I wanted to have a break from the constant fighting, without having Yuji break character too much. The ritual thing just kind of fell into place that way. Plus, it added to his relationship with Miko. Which was good, considering he's like "Great...so...marry me?" two seconds later XD

YunieXTidus on March 17, 2011, 3:27:34 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm going to need to go back and reread your fic. xD

So... correct me if I'm wrong, but Miko = Uzume, right?

nextguardian on March 17, 2011, 3:32:05 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI have to do that all the time, to make sure I'm not leaving out major details. The story has really changed since the beginning. Except Yuji is still getting whipped around by girls XD That is a constant, I think.

Yes indeed. If you want to get technical, Miko=Uzume, until she gives up the title of 'Uzume' to Asuna.

YunieXTidus on March 17, 2011, 3:34:38 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHaha, but it's part of his charm. He has such rotten luck, you can't help but love him.

Okay, I thought so but I couldn't remember. Reading Serving and your co-op at the same time throws me off sometimes.

nextguardian on March 17, 2011, 3:37:05 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHe's like a dog that's so ugly it's cute XD That is one problem I've had: He's supposed to be attractive in his own way, and yet I've never really had a girl approach him. I can't believe that didn't occur to me.

I completely understand. Try writing the two at the same time --'

btw- in the fic you emailed me, I couldn't help but lol at Tenzo's underwear choice. I'm not sure why. I just did.

YunieXTidus on March 17, 2011, 3:39:55 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI thought about giving him just plain ol' cotton briefs. But I'm like, 'naw that's boring.' So I projected my preferences onto him. xD

And yes, I'd love to do something like that. I may get the chance to work on it this weekend. And grrr that your present hasn't been approved yet!!!

nextguardian on March 17, 2011, 3:47:34 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHuh. Of all the things that I can't figure out what women like, underwear has the most research. There are hundreds of online polls, but not one is ever conclusive. It begs the age old question: Boxers or briefs? (Or option c?) XD

If you hadn't emailed it to me, I'd be going nuts, I think. I love seeing other peole work with Yuji. Especially when they give him a harem (Plus one reluctant friend who is all ' =3 ' about the situation XD).

I was just reading some of my old work. Originally, Yuji came to the Leaf with two others. One student of his, who went bad, and another, the master of his former school who got it by political movements. When they get to the Leaf, he has confessed his love to her and has lost an eye defending her from Gaara. I can't remember why, but she decides that she likes him so much she hates him, and sets out to sabotage him at every turn. Yet, when his life is threatened, she defends him to the death. I wonder why I stopped using her. She was fun.

YunieXTidus on March 17, 2011, 3:53:51 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, personally, I prefer boxers. But it really all comes down to the girl. I honestly don't know what most women prefer, and I belong to that population! xD

You were getting that anxious to read it? I'm flattered. x3

I'll have to take a gander at some of your other stuff. Something I keep meaning to do, but always forget. I like the arrangement you have now, though. ^^

When you include romance, no matter how spicey, you keep an underlying sweetness to it. That's admirable imho.

YunieXTidus on March 16, 2011, 12:45:35 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, to me sex and love go hand in hand. There can't be those feelings of passion and lust without a deeper, less carnal desire underlying it. An out of place notion in today's society, but one I stand by.^^

nextguardian on March 16, 2011, 12:49:10 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI tend to agree with that. Lame ol' Yuji has never had a one night stand, has he? ;)
Good to see someone else standing by that belief.

YunieXTidus on March 16, 2011, 12:54:21 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHaha but I think that's part of his charm. And same here. I may actually have to do two versions of the radio secks, though. One where yamato has to.persuade hisako that she is desirable, and the other is more smexier. XD

nextguardian on March 16, 2011, 1:09:31 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHe has charm, does he? And yet he always go home alone. I don't know know if you've ever read Chobits, but Yuji has become an awful lot like Hideki. The whole "Let me guess- everyone tells you you're a good guy, but you go home alone at the end of the night, right?"

I could see them doing this a number of times, each time it gets hotter and hotter. At first he'd have to talk her into it, but then when she gets into it, too, it's like a nightly thing or something. I could see it happening. They seem like the type of puppy love couple where they're totally addicted to each other.

nextguardianWell, it was kinda like:

Yu: I was hoping...to ask you...Do you know what Sakura thinks of me? (blushes)

Tsu: Yuji...You know, you and I are so similar, we'd never get along. Maybe that's why I have such...naught thoughts...

Yu: (backs up) My Lady?

Tsu: You're such a submissive little thing. I like that.

OR

Yu: (Sitting by himself)

Tsu: (Sits down next to him) It's lonely being single, isn't it? The most crowded room can feel deserted. I haven't had anyone since Dan...

Yu: I...can totally understand. But I can't imagine that loss...I'm so sorry about that. (Hugs her)

Tsu: (Hugs back) Thanks, kid. ...(Goes in for the kill).

XD Weird, right?


I'm glad you welcome the ideas. I hate it when someone gives me a good idea once I've already got one going! lol, you're a good sport!

YunieXTidus on March 16, 2011, 1:43:57 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI think I prefer the first one. Just rofl.

But to be honest, I was struggling with having two paths my story could go down, and this one addresses that problem perfectly! Although I can understand your frustration. xD

nextguardian on March 16, 2011, 1:51:39 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThe poor boy. It's true, Yuji is submissive, so someone like Tsunade would just run over him. I might actually have to type that one out.

I'm glad that inadvertantly helped, then^^ I'm sure it would have been excellent without my input, though.

I've just updated 'Serving', btw!

YunieXTidus on March 16, 2011, 1:53:10 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAwesome!

And, aw, shucks. *blush*

And yay!

nextguardian on March 16, 2011, 2:03:00 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYou know, I was thinking. I can't draw, but I wish I could make a picture for this whole Japanese disaster. Would you want to collaborate on this? I can write in Japanese, and maybe even give you an idea (the saying that's been most popular is 'Ganbatte Nihon'; aside from the Operation Tomodachi thing). You can post the pic, say I did the writing, maybe include some links to various sites that are collecting for Japanese relief.

No pressure to say yes. I'm just going nuts because I can't think of a way to help. If I knew just a little bit more of the language. I'm, like, two monthes away from being fluent enough to help -_-'

YunieXTidus on March 16, 2011, 2:41:00 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI can give it a shot, but no promises as to the quality. xD

I totally understand.

YunieXTidusOf course! I'm really glad you like it. I like how Asuna turned out.

nextguardian on March 15, 2011, 10:48:13 AM

nextguardianMe, too! They're all adorable, but that Shrine Maiden thing... every otaku's dream!

I've just updated my end of the co-op fic, too.

YunieXTidus on March 15, 2011, 10:51:18 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThey are adorable, aren't they? xD

Great! I gotta read andr28a's update first though. xF

nextguardian on March 15, 2011, 12:08:26 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThey really are ^^

It's a good update on his part.

YunieXTidus on March 15, 2011, 12:43:19 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm about to read them both now! And lmao my friend just linked me this. This racist girl can't study in the library with the asian talking on the phone," ching chong, ling long, ting tong. " I think it's pretty self-explanatory.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zulEMWj3sVA

nextguardian on March 15, 2011, 2:26:27 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat is freakin' hilarious! Lol, and that guy has the perfect delivery in the beginning with the 'please, forgive me!'.

Thank you for the comment on the co-op fic. I wish I could have made the last scene more epic. I could hear the rain falling, and see a camera pan upward, with Azami holding Yuji like that, but I couldn't get it into words. I loved the fight scene, though^^

YunieXTidus on March 15, 2011, 2:29:21 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI was dying the entire time. xD
And no, I saw it, too!

Ok, weird question. Could you see Tenzo and Hisako having radio sex? Or is that more of a KakaSaku thing?

nextguardian on March 15, 2011, 2:34:08 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI think that Hisako and Yamato could pull that off. Somehow, I could see them whispering sweet nothings, which of course don't stay perfectly 'sweet'.

How I could answer that question without hesitation is beyond me XD

YunieXTidus on March 15, 2011, 2:36:42 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOkay, good. That's what I wanted to hear. And we're making progress!! I'm proud of you! XD
I'm gonna do a one-shot of that, I think. And if I can fit it into the story, I so will.

nextguardian on March 15, 2011, 2:40:45 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, well, if you had asked me if Yuji could do it, it would be a different story. The radio sex thing sort of makes sense for an ANBU agent, I think. I can kind of see Tenzo being bored while on guard duty or something, and keying up the mic and...

Good! Another one-shot is certainly welcome. I've been toying with so many ideas. I've got one for each girl plus Yuji at this point. I feel like I'm neglecting them if they don't all get a turn, lol. After your pic, I really want to pair Yuji with Asuna at least once!

YunieXTidus on March 15, 2011, 2:42:56 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOoh, thank you. Now I have an entry point.

And finish everything else before you start something new!!

nextguardian on March 15, 2011, 2:48:09 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNo problem :)

You're right. I've got so many ideas right now. I need some conclusions first.

YunieXTidus on March 15, 2011, 2:49:38 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI feel like a broken record, but how is the YuHisa fix coming along?

nextguardian on March 15, 2011, 2:54:14 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianGetting closer to completion :) I've been swamped with school work (still am), so it's not getting the attention I want to give it atm -_-'

YunieXTidus on March 15, 2011, 2:57:41 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusSorry for asking so many times xD I'm just really anxious to see it.

I've already got an ending in mind for the radio one. Another anbu guard came to relieve him, and as tenzo walked away he heard the guy mutter "lucky bastard." His response- "Damn straight."

nextguardian on March 15, 2011, 3:09:57 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNo problem at all^^

lol, I really like that! Since you told me about this, I'll tell you about one I had for the HisaYu fic. Not sure if I'll keep it, but:

Tenzo: "Hey Yuji. You're single, right?"

Yuji: "--' "

Tenzo: "Sorry. Look, I've got this problem...(tells about Hisako)...and I...I just can't do it. I don't want to endanger her future.

Yuji: "So you want ME to endanger her future? I know her, and she's a sweetheart...sorta...but I'm in the same boat. She's xx (what's her age, again?) and I'm 22!"

Tenzo: "But you're closer in age, so it would work better."

Yuji: "as if our Hokage needed another reason to kill me..."

But Yuji agrees and goes with it, eventually finding Hisako to be more than he anticipated.

YunieXTidus on March 15, 2011, 3:12:58 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, in my story she's 19, but feel free to mess around with her age if you need to. Also, I love how Tenzo has to "pass her on". I'm so excited to read it!

nextguardian on March 15, 2011, 3:16:00 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNineteen...that's a good age. Okay, I think I can finish the fic soon. I'm thinking next week. I'm swamped with school work plus my actual job from now until Sunday, but by Monday I should have some time to relax and enjoy myself.

I've got to go for now. I'm hoping I'll be on longer tomorrow. It was good talking with you!

nextguardian on March 12, 2011, 9:02:16 AM

nextguardianlmao. She's not supposed to be THAT huge. Just, like, bigger than average. XD

YunieXTidus on March 12, 2011, 9:11:55 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI always pictured her a rival to Tsunade xD

nextguardian on March 12, 2011, 10:05:40 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, no, not really. Not unrealistically huge XD More well endowed than, say, Ino, but not quite Tsunade. So she looks like she has normal proportions. Plus, she's tall, so they don't look massive.

nextguardian on March 12, 2011, 10:06:08 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, I can't believe we're having this conversation!

YunieXTidus on March 12, 2011, 10:07:45 AM

nextguardian on March 12, 2011, 2:05:46 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, okay. And...maybe a little. I can't honestly say I've discussed a girl's body in quite this way before, creation of mine or not XD

YunieXTidus on March 13, 2011, 6:07:38 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI can just imagine the shade of red Yuji would turn if he overheard us talking about Azami like that. xD

nextguardian on March 13, 2011, 12:24:24 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh yeah. We're talking crimson here! XD

That is a cool opening, but I think either opening 6 or 7 is my favorite.

YunieXTidus on March 13, 2011, 12:33:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'll have to check those out, I can't really remember them. I like the ending where sakura's on the beach singing. She has those cute pigtails.

nextguardian on March 13, 2011, 12:35:52 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI liked the fifth (I think) ending. Beach thing again, but Sakura had a surfboard.

lol, if I could draw, I would have drawn our conversation about Azami's body out. Just one scene with the two of us talking, Yuji turning red, and Azami teasing him somehow.

YunieXTidus on March 13, 2011, 12:38:41 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIf you could sketch out your idea (it's okay if it's a crude sketch) I could see what I could do about fleshing it out into a real pic.

nextguardian on March 13, 2011, 12:41:20 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI should probably finish the other pic I've been promising first. But I'll have to sketch this one out.

Man, this whole deal with Japan has been making me sick. Up until the radiation thing started, I was ready to join a volunteer group to go help out. Once the nuclear threat is gone, if they can still use help, then maybe I can go help out.

YunieXTidus on March 13, 2011, 12:43:33 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusSounds good. You could just do a rough sketch real quick and send it to me, that'd be fine. Oh, that reminds me! I went out to eat tonight, and right next to the restaurant we went to, there was a Japanese bar/grill. It's name? Yamato. Not even kidding. I have a photo as evidence.

I know. It's really sad. I don't think I'd be much help, though. xD

nextguardian on March 13, 2011, 12:51:21 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWow, seriously? That is some serendipity right there! I've never had an experience like that, aside from a new Japanese restaurant a few towns over that has the name 'Sakura' in the title. I have yet to try it.

I can speak enough to get by, and probably lift debris or something. Not sure what I could do, but I'd love to help.

YunieXTidus on March 13, 2011, 12:53:41 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI wanted to be like, "hey mom can we go there instead, pleeeeeease?"

I can only pick out bits and pieces like "I understand" and "let's go" and little phrases like that. I plan on taking it in college if my school offers it.

How's the YuHisa fic comin'? I feel like I haven't asked about it in a while.

nextguardian on March 13, 2011, 1:00:42 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianMy parents indulge me for the most part when it comes to Japanese food, just because I don't eat much. If they find something I'll eat, then they'll usually let me have it.

I can speak it, but I have a hard time understanding it sometimes, if the speaker talks too quickly. I'm getting better, though. Listening to Japanese music is definitely helping.

I haven't done much with it due to an increase in my school workload. But it's coming along^^

How's your fic coming?

YunieXTidus on March 13, 2011, 1:03:12 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHaven't worked on it since my last update. I went to my old town for spring break, so I spent most of my time there either sleeping or hanging out with friends. Now that I'm back home, the updates'll probably come faster, though. I had meant to do MORE while I was there, not LESS. xD

I went to 'Japan' in Disneyworld once. The food was expensive but amazing! All the stuff they had in the shops, so totally cool. I might actually go there in the next couple years if things get pulled back together soon.

nextguardian on March 13, 2011, 1:06:33 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, I'm like that on vacations all the time. I swear I'm going to clean up the yard, or my room, or study more, etc. But I usually wind up relaxing more and catching up on some reading.

My favorite meal (Osaka beef) is expensive, but with it I get rice, salad, soup, fish, desert (Ice cream with bean paste, a surprisingly good combination), plus the beef, chicken, gyoza, a scallop, plus some tempura vegetables. All that for 25 dollars or so.

Quick question: Do girls typically get as worked up as guys over an 'indirect kiss'?

YunieXTidus on March 13, 2011, 1:08:25 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusDepending on the guy, probably more so. If it's Yuji we're talking about, then I'd say it's half and half. :P It also depends on the kind of indirect kiss it is.

nextguardian on March 13, 2011, 1:15:51 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOkay, let's say it like 'hey, want a sip of my drink' type of indirect kiss. That's pretty innocous among younger kids, but it seems to be a staple of manga romance that I've seen reenacted in real life.

YunieXTidus on March 13, 2011, 1:17:25 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, now that I'm actually thinking about it, it can kind of be a big deal. Like, for me, that'd be a big step in the romantic relationship. Why do you ask, if I may? You got me curious.

nextguardian on March 13, 2011, 1:20:56 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt was something I read in a manga recently. No real life incidents, I'm afraid XD

YunieXTidus on March 13, 2011, 1:21:39 PM

nextguardianThat would be nice. lol. She could if she really thought about. But she's got too much respect for him...or something. The one time Yuji gets respect it keeps him from getting any. I feel so mean XD

nextguardian on March 8, 2011, 12:40:02 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI do, actually ^^ I'm working on one of the two long arcs I've got planned so far for 'Serving'. I found a song that's perfect for this one scene, so I'm copying (with credit) the lyrics and a link to it on YouTube, so hopefully everyone will put the two together and get this awesome cyber s'more of awesomeness!
Wow, that was a little too hyper for me. I must be in a good mood or something.
I've also got an update or two for the co-op fic. It's Andr28a's turn right now.
All these updates make me painfully aware of how much free time I have XD

YunieXTidus on March 8, 2011, 12:44:15 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAlso, remember the situation I told you about? I had a dream about it the other day and it helped me make the right decision, I think. I wrote it down and put it on here. Feel free to take a gander.

http://www.fanart-central.net/chapter-101178.html

nextguardian on March 8, 2011, 12:49:54 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWow, if you pulled that off in real life, more power to you!

It's weird, but I don't really mind not having a social life. I'm not tempted to go out and do things most of the time. I'm not into drinking or partying or any of that. I guess I'm content.

Are you a fan of XXXHolic at all? (If you're not, I promise the title is misleading, and it's not about xxx's or holic!)

YunieXTidus on March 8, 2011, 12:56:56 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI've heard of it. I do love Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, but I've never really looked at XXXHolic. lol the first time I heard that title I was like, "just what are they SELLING here?!" xD

nextguardian on March 8, 2011, 1:01:00 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm also a Tsubasa fan. But I actually like XXXHolic better. It's a more sedate story, but it goes more into cultural notes about Japan, including mythology and folk tales and the like. It's easier to follow than Tsubasa, that's for sure.

If you ever get into it, you'll have to tell me if you picture Yuji as more a Kimihiro or a Doumeki. That was the question I was going to ask.

YunieXTidus on March 8, 2011, 1:03:36 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, if I ever get into it, I'll let you know. :)

Thanks for your comment, btw. I swear, if you keep praising me like that, I'm gonna have a humongous ego.

That sort of scene is something I've been fearing would happen for a long time. Cody's grandmother goes to the same church as me, and he knows I go there, so if he wanted to find me he could just show up at any time. Admittedly, I've been crushing on Mike for a long time. xD

nextguardian on March 8, 2011, 1:11:39 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianFor the record, the Kimihiro from Holic was where Yuji's original name came from. But Kimihiro is surprisingly irritating to type, for some reason. Anyway, Doumeki is sort of like me in real life, except I'm not nearly that tall or cool or silent, lol.
Who's your favorite Tsubasa character?

That's a good, healthy reaction imho ^^ I doubt they're be an issue. You're good at thinking on your feet from what I can tell.

YunieXTidus on March 8, 2011, 1:13:19 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat's a tough call! I'd probably have to say... Fai. Or Saoran. I don't know, I love them all. xD

And thank you, and I do try. I have really witty friends, so they keep me on my toes.

nextguardian on March 8, 2011, 1:18:13 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianFai is hysterical, but he's about the one character that I like that I have not emulated. I just can't see me calling my friends names like 'Kuro-pi' and 'Kuro-run'. XD

I can throw good comebacks, but my best defense is that, unless I make it obvious, I'm difficult to read. Doesn't apply to girls, I believe.

YunieXTidus on March 8, 2011, 1:19:57 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAre you saying that girls find you easy to read? Or that girls are easy to read?

nextguardian on March 8, 2011, 1:23:55 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm pretty sure girls can read me easily. Being aloof and mysterious in high school worked for the most part, but a few girls managed to see through that, and unfortunately, they were not the type I wanted to get through to the 'real' me.

YunieXTidus on March 8, 2011, 1:25:09 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWhat kind of girl would you want to get through to the 'real' you?

nextguardian on March 8, 2011, 1:29:07 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianGood question. Most certainly not one of the nasty, vindictive, shallow, pendantic ones that seemed to see through me -_-' It's a lame answer, but it really depends on the person. If they're true to themselves, whoever they might be, I tend to find that attractive on some level. If that makes any sense at all, lol.

YunieXTidus on March 8, 2011, 1:30:45 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNo, it makes sense. I think that's a great quality to have, no matter your personality.

Personally, I go for the tall nerds, myself. xD

nextguardian on March 8, 2011, 1:39:33 PM

nextguardianIt's good to no someone agrees. Of course, my idiot neanderthal friends are the 'she's hot! why not?' types. Naturally I catch flack from them for it, but then I fire back with words they don't understand, and win the round ^^

If we talk cosmetically, I've always been a sucker for ponytails or pigtails. Maybe athletic, but average looking. And I'm cool with glasses, too. Almost anything is visually appealing to me, I guess. Be it goth or geek, lol. It all comes down to personality.

nextguardianI've updated Serving, too, btw. I've got to go soon, but I'll probably be back on later (I can't promise it, though). If you've updated, I'll read it. Either way, it was good chatting with you.

YunieXTidus on March 8, 2011, 2:19:18 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusSo sorry, I didn't realize you'd responded. Yeah, i used to make a huge deal of looks, but the guy I'm 'talking' to now isn't exactly a looker (he's not ugly by any means), but he has like, every personality trait I'd dreamed that my man would have. But if we're talking appearances, I'd say that I'd go for tall, broad-shouldered, with nerdy-glasses (that sounds so silly xD). Hair... I don't really care about hair as long as it's maintained.

And I'm definitely not getting the update up tonight, but I will tomorrow! Thanks for letting me know about Serving. I'm gonna go to bed now, but I'll read it tomorrow before I head out for lunch.

YunieXTidus on March 8, 2011, 12:41:41 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol tell me about it. I have like, little to no social life at all. xD I'm juuuust about to get working on my update. Might even get it done before midnight, if I get started now.

nextguardianThank you :) Your timing could not have been better :) I'm so jealous of your lineart. It's always so crisp and clean.

I think Hinata's face is perfect now for the record.

YunieXTidus on March 3, 2011, 12:24:52 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI agree. It just looked weird without the blush before. And thank you! I take pride in my lineart. The pen I use for my lineart is a "Pigma Micron 05." It's .45 mm width, which i love, although I do occasionally wish for a thinner one. Like when I'm inking eyes. I'll need to go back and get a thinner one, if I can. FYI I'm so glad Sakura's hair turned out the way it did. My colored pencil set didn't come with pink, so I had to color it a light red, then blend it with white. I was sooo afraid it wouldn't turn out.

nextguardian on March 3, 2011, 12:31:29 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianLineart is one place that everyone seems to take a different approach. I have a friend who swears by mechanical pencils of a particular width (can't remember it -_-'), while another insists on only 'real' pencils. I prefer the cushioned grip of a mechanical pencil for support, and the thinner the better because I'm so bad at drawing straight lines and circles (and curves, and uneven lines, periods, and...).
You blended that perfect color? That's very impressive!

YunieXTidus on March 3, 2011, 12:32:56 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIt happened quite on accident! It's just how it turned out, lol.

nextguardian on March 3, 2011, 12:40:34 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt worked out especially well for an accident, then.

I still like Hisako's expression the best, I think. Just the pure exasperation is hilarious to me.

YunieXTidus on March 3, 2011, 12:42:33 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol i know, right?

And -_-

Today went from okay (this morning) to great (this afternoon) to bleh (now).

nextguardian on March 3, 2011, 12:52:27 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm sorry to hear that. If talking will help, I'm here to listen :)

YunieXTidus on March 3, 2011, 12:58:03 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThank you.

About 5 years ago, I met this guy. (Isn't that always the way?) During those 5 years, he was in and out of my life as he pleased, putting me in an emotional wreck. I didn't have enough self-worth to tell him to stay away for good; I'd get my love wherever it was offered. I had to pretend like I wasn't in love around my parents and friends (he was 5 years older than me, and I was underage, so that's definitely a no-no.), and every time he left, I had to pretend that my heart wasn't breaking.

This past August, we got back in touch and he asked me to move in with him after I graduated from high school. I didn't even know what to say. I didn't know what I was going to be majoring in! I wasn't ready to decide something like that. Well, I found out from one of my friends that he had asked several other girls the same thing, around the same time. Including that friend. We both told him to go to hell, and I haven't heard from him since.

He recently came up to my friend and apologized to her, saying that what he did was really bogus, but he only asked her and me, nobody else. She's forgiven him and now they're all lovey-dovey.

So now, I'm left without a reason to hate him, seeing the guy I (used to?) love with someone else, and I don't even know what to feel.

Sorry for the novel. xD

nextguardian on March 3, 2011, 1:04:35 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWell, the most I can do is give advice. Feel free to disregard it, of course. I'm not you, so my thoughts may be different.

If it were me in your shoes, I'd look past the initial attraction to the guy and be honest: can he be trusted? Is he sincere? If it's 'no' to either one of those, then you've got a reason to at least be distrusftul.

In any case, I wouldn't be too forgiving. If he can treat your feelings with such disregard, age taboo or not...

I most certainly have no place to tell you how to feel, but I could understand feeling betrayed. Maybe a cautious friendship is the approach to take here? As in, try to be happy for your friend, but be ready to be there for her if things go sour.

I returned your novel with War and Peace. Sorry about that.

YunieXTidus on March 3, 2011, 1:10:05 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI don't think he can be trusted, at least for now. And I honestly have no idea if his feelings for me were real. No, he hurt me too much for me to just forgive him the way she did. Although in her defense, she didn't have to put up with his shoot for 5 years. (excuse my french.) I don't even know if I -can- have a friendship with him. I've spent most of my life loving him, I don't even know how to be 'just friends.' And that's if he even wants to speak to me. I don't know. I just don't know.

Perfectly alright! I happen to like novels.

nextguardian on March 3, 2011, 1:14:39 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI would say follow your instincts, then. Don't trust him. In that case, be a friend to your friend. I'd imagine that will be awkward, at least at first, but if she hasn't offended you, and he keeps his pattern, you'll be the one she goes to.

YunieXTidus on March 3, 2011, 1:16:22 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYeah, it is kinda awkward. 'Cause I thought I had a comrade in arms, right? And he just sweet-talks her back into his arms. I guess a part of me is jealous. A very big part. I wanted to be that important to him.

nextguardian on March 3, 2011, 1:26:20 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWell, if he sticks true to form, your comrade in arms will be back on your side. Which I'm betting is how this will play out.It might be crass of me, but he might have done you a favor.
What it boils down to is that you are a good person, and you'll find someone more deserving of your affection. Believe me, THAT is an absolute truth.

YunieXTidus on March 3, 2011, 1:29:51 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI guess all my feelings about this are coming up now because I'm going back there this week, and I'm hanging out with her, which leads to the possibility that I might see him.

Thank you. That means more to me than I can say. And you're right, I can find someone better.

nextguardian on March 3, 2011, 1:36:53 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWell, if you do, slip into kunoichi mode and just pretend to be nice. If it helps, imagine how Hisako would handle the situation. But I wouldn't recommend acting on that, if I'm guessing how Hisako would react correctly ;)

You've got the right attitude :) If I can help at anypoint, you've got my email, and there's always FAC.

YunieXTidus on March 3, 2011, 1:38:26 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTiduslmao i dunno, that might help relieve some stress. and i can't say he wouldn't deserve it.

Thank you, I really appreciate the support.

nextguardian on March 3, 2011, 1:43:04 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYes, but going to jail over it...lol. I freely admit I slip into 'Yuji' mode now and then. Usually with girls, lmao!

No problem ;)

YunieXTidus on March 3, 2011, 1:45:12 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh, I'd make sure to leave no forensic evidence. The cops would find a mangled, but living body, but no DNA or any other evidence pointing to me. ;) And that's totally understandable! The female is a creature to be feared.

nextguardian on March 3, 2011, 1:56:19 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, I don't know if that's more Hisako or more Abby. One of my fave lines, actually, from when McGee stole her cupcake:
"I am one of the only people in the world who could murder you and leave no forensic evidence."

Absolutely. You know, it's weird, but I almost never say 'girl'. It's always 'female'. Like a scientific concept or something. Maybe that's my problem, lol.

YunieXTidus on March 3, 2011, 1:58:53 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol nice. I'm the same way sometimes.

nextguardian on March 3, 2011, 2:03:53 PM

nextguardianToo bad I'm not good at science. lol.

YunieXTidus on March 3, 2011, 2:05:31 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm not that god at science either xD

How so?

nextguardian on March 3, 2011, 2:09:23 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm bad at science, but worse at math -_-'

Well, I'm not good with math (see above XD), and I tend to get frustrated when dealing with numbers, especially when they say one thing and mean another. But accounting isn't all that evil. I'm kind of enjoying it. It's a challenge.

YunieXTidus on March 3, 2011, 2:11:20 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI just hate all math, period. xD

nextguardian on March 3, 2011, 2:16:45 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm with you there. I think that this isn't so bad because it's strictly about money. That I'm okay with. It's when you get into the more esoteric end of algebra that I start to really hate math.

YunieXTidusHaha. Forgive me for the laziness ( I blame it on the pen.), but the fingers keep turning out very pointy. I'll have the inking done in the next half hour, I believe!

You sounded so totally like a parent just then.

Also- I'm prepping the email now, so be prepared! :D

nextguardian on March 2, 2011, 2:44:47 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, okay, I won't. They could probably take me, anyway XD or at least yuji. Whose 'wtf' face is indeed, priceless! I was literally loling. I plan to get both of those up on my wall somewhere.

I love Asuna's ponytail, and Azami's 'i'm going to devour you' face! Sakura came out adorable (you called it).

So, what was the hardest thing about each girl?

nextguardian on March 2, 2011, 2:45:25 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWhere are my manners?
AWESOME!
A-W-E-S-O-M-E!

Thank you so much! I owe you big time!

YunieXTidus on March 2, 2011, 2:48:15 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusRofl thanks!

Um, Asuna's expression was the hardest, I think. I messed up Hisako's hair, and don't even get me started on Hinata. I think Azami turned out really, really well, better than I expected. Sakura was just all-around easy, I guess. Can't wait to color it, now!

nextguardian on March 2, 2011, 2:54:39 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, I loved the little exhale cloud you gave Hisako. the =3 thing was a nice touch^^ I like how Hinata was clutching the box. Sakura was dead-on. I loved Azami's eyes (first thing I looked at, lol, after you mentioned it) and Asuna's hair. Well, to be accurate, I loved the whole thing, but I wanted to be specific^^

Yuji gets points for the best face, though!

YunieXTidus on March 2, 2011, 2:56:57 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHisako's exhale cloud was communicating, "how did I get roped into this?" I'm glad you picked up on that. She hopes her poor Tenzo (or her poor Naruto, depending on which story ;3 ) doesn't get too jealous! Or Yuji'll have to watch out. I'm not sure which is worse, an irate Wood-style user, or an irate Jinchuriki...

nextguardian on March 2, 2011, 3:03:54 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHmm...I would say that Yuji would probably fight Yamato instead. Mostly because he's never had a serious fight with him. lol.
I liked the package Asuna was carrying. It suited her face, for some reason. And for some other reason, I thought 'huh. Lucky Star?'. I have no idea why I thought that, lol. It was so random.

YunieXTidus on March 2, 2011, 3:05:42 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol that's cute. I'm really glad you liked it! Hinata... -_- I totally failed on her face. it's awful. I'm thinking i'm gonna either fix it on the computer, or white it out and try again on paper. Just her face, though. xD

nextguardian on March 2, 2011, 3:09:41 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianReally? Because the only thing I can see that you could possibly not like about her face is that she isn't blushing. Everything looks spot-on to me.

YunieXTidus on March 2, 2011, 3:11:16 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, I'm adding that with the color. Maybe you're right, that's what's wrong with her.

I'm glad you like it, and I hope it made your day a little more tolerable!

I've got to get going, though. I have school in the morning. Nice talking with you, and thank you for all your nice comments on it!

nextguardian on March 2, 2011, 3:15:12 PM

How was your day?

nextguardian on March 2, 2011, 12:38:49 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat's a welcome bit of good news, after the day I've had.

I found out that my school is likely going to snooker me out of a good amount of money due to an issue on their end. So I'm rather...heck, not rather. I'm absolutely livid about it.

But, that's neither here nor there. I'm on FAC now, relaxing :)

YunieXTidus on March 2, 2011, 12:40:46 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm sorry. It really sucks when things like that happen. I'm looking forward to your updates! I think I may be able to finish the lineart before I go to bed. I'm trying a different approach than usual, since it's for a special occasion. Instead of using plain ol' pencil, I'm using a fine-point pen and colored pencils! So your present will be in color! :D

nextguardian on March 2, 2011, 12:46:48 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThanks so much. You have no idea how much of a smile that brought to my face. And believe me, it's worth double today :)

I've finished outlining the HisaYuji story. I just need to get it down on 'paper' and get it up :)

YunieXTidus on March 2, 2011, 12:49:46 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm glad to hear it. Also- could you link me the chapter with Asuna's physical description? I can't remember for the life of me what she looks like, and I want to include her.

And that's great news! I honestly can't wait to read it. It's definitely going to be interesting, I'm sure!

nextguardian on March 2, 2011, 1:00:44 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI don't know that I've ever done a chapter with her complete physical description. She has chestnut colored hair, in a ponytail, with eyes that are just a shade darker than her hair. Her skin is pale (like Sakura), and she usually wears the clothes of a miko (shrine maiden). I've got a reference link for that: http://photo-lifestyle.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/priestess.jpg

Alternatively, she lets her hair down once in a while, and her hair is maybe mid-back length, with bangs over one eye. The rest of her build is average anime female.

I think it should be entertaining, at any rate^^

YunieXTidus on March 2, 2011, 1:02:26 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAnd what about Azami? Very tan, purple hair, am I right? And what color are her eyes?

nextguardian on March 2, 2011, 1:07:16 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAzami...let's see. She's got long black hair, very dark blue eyes (so dark they're almost black. Or you can make them black; whatever is easier for you), on the tan side. Sort of like this for build and skin color:

Wow, you're really going into detail!

YunieXTidus on March 2, 2011, 1:09:17 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, I've got to make up for its lateness somehow! And yeah, once I finally get started on something, I do it right. xD (please forgive the minor body weirdness, I have trouble with clothes/poses, etc)

I'm really excited for you to see this! I think you, and respectively, Yuji, will get a huge kick out of it. xDD

nextguardian on March 2, 2011, 1:11:50 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWell, I certainly appreciate it, at any rate ^^ Your work has never disappointed me, and I'm absolutely certain this one will be as brilliant as the others. :D

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAw, thank you! I just doodled constantly as a kid. A lot. I had a really good anime artist as a friend, and it pushed me to want to be as good as her. Now, I think I am, if I do say so myself.

Commented on it! :D Nice update.

nextguardian on March 2, 2011, 1:27:37 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAbsolutely you are :) None of my friends were really in to drawing or writing. So I don't know where my love for writing came from.

Glad you liked the update. I'm off to check your comment now.

YunieXTidus on March 2, 2011, 1:29:19 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI can't wait to finish this so you can see. I think, once I get done inking it, I'm gonna take a picture with my phone and email it to you. This just can't wait til tomorrow.

nextguardian on March 2, 2011, 1:38:34 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI really can't wait to see it :)

btw, how did you like the conversation Jiraiya and Yuji had?

YunieXTidus on March 2, 2011, 1:40:04 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI thought it was well-done, true to character for both of them. I loved the bit of advice at the end, particularly.

nextguardian on March 2, 2011, 1:45:17 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianDo you think Yuji got too emotional too quick? He kind of just...collapsed. I explained it with his stress, but I'm not sure it was believable.

This pic of yours is going to be beyond epic.

YunieXTidus on March 2, 2011, 1:46:53 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNo, no. 'The straw that broke the camel's back,' as they say. He's been repressing his emotions for so long, that it was bound to happen at some point. I think it was well done.

And again, d'awwwh! I apologize in advance for the hands. Sakura's hands are... monstrous.

nextguardian on March 2, 2011, 1:53:18 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThanks. I just wasn't convinced on it. I mean, he was all hard-line and then...fwoom. I felt that I needed to explain Jiraiya, though, and it sort of fit. Well, I trust your opinion^^

That's okay. I am the last person who would ever criticize about hands. I cannot draw the things to save my life.

YunieXTidus on March 2, 2011, 1:55:17 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAlthough so far, Sakura's the cutest thing on the page. x3 And I'm sure Yuji would think that anyway. ;P

nextguardianI was on a creative streak due to anger. I just had to drop a course at college, through no fault of my own, and I'm not getting a full refund. Poor Yuji had a really bad day in his little world, lol.

I sent that pic to your email now. Any criticism you have is appreciated.

The Japanese letters read "Naruto and Sakura's Servant". I also used Kanji for Yuji's title, 'Ten no Kishootsu' (Heaven's Temper), as well as Sakura's last name.

YunieXTidusI really like the way you did Naruto. His hair looks really cool. I'd say you should work on Sakura's hair a little, something about it looks a bit off.

For Yuji, I'd look at the proportions a bit. The one knee is a little too far out, I think. I found a couple pics that might be able to help you out, although they weren't ideal.

Sorry about the swords being in the way.

If you want, I could attempt to do faces for you, to give you a kind of model to go off of? You seemed to be struggling with that. I could see the eraser-marks. xD

nextguardian on March 1, 2011, 1:12:28 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThank you^^ Sakura wound up being a goth egyptian, and Yuji was a midget, but Naruto came out okay. I liked how Sakura's proportions came out (not meant to sound perverted; I just really suck at those and to get close is a big deal for me ^^).

Sakura's hair, Yuji's height and pose (I used a batman pose as reference, and it didn't work. That pic you sent is much closer. I couldn't find a good reference like that), and the faces. My God, the faces! It sucked trying to get those right.

By all means, feel free to play with the image^^ The next one I can't put up yet, because it's a spoiler to 'Serving'.

YunieXTidus on March 1, 2011, 1:16:12 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI liked it. Once you smooth the rough edges, it's gonna be cool, I can tell. And yeah, female proportions are hard for me as well, which is silly, since I'm a female! xD

I'm looking forward to your next update(s) and such, but for tonight, I think I'm headed to bed. My friend kept me up til 4 in the morning last night, and my body is screaming for sleep. I'll probably have ch 29 up by tomorrow night. I may even finish your Valentine pic that I keep forgetting/putting off! I'm such a procrastinator.

Anyway, hope I helped a bit, and good night!

nextguardian on March 1, 2011, 1:17:53 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI always feel like a perv if it's a sexy female character I'm drawing. Then, of course, I can't get the proportions right, and forget about anything with the hair. lol.

Have a good night :)

YunieXTidus on March 1, 2011, 8:59:24 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol don't feel like a perv! (Most) Women have curves, there's nothing wrong with drawing them. Although I think you're giving Sakura too much credit. Unless those chest bindings are hiding something under that vest! ;o

YunieXTidus on March 1, 2011, 1:07:56 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusBut overall, I love the concept. When you finish it, it's gonna be one cool drawing.

nextguardianI'm not doing horribly well. My stress level is so high I'm actually feeling sick from it -_-' Your one shot will cheer me up, though ^^

I'm glad I'm not the only one that thinks that way ^^'

YunieXTidus on February 28, 2011, 12:56:16 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm so sorry! Drink some chamomile tea, it's supposed to be really relaxing. When I'm stressed out I always listen to classical music... Or The Postal Service. Not sure if you've heard of them or not. They're not very well known.

Well, it's kinda depressing until the very end... It takes place during the episode, as one of the "deleted scenes," so it's kind of... Gloomy. I tried to portray the overwhelming grief that Naruto had to be feeling, and Hisako's desire to stop his pain. I hope you like it. It'll be done in like, 15 minutes. ^^

nextguardian on February 28, 2011, 1:02:17 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianTea is my thing, too^^ Though I usually drink green tea, for my stomach, since that's where my anxiety/anger normally settles. I'm due for a cup, I think. Thanks for reminding me ^^

That sounds good to me. Well, good in that you're writing a good fic. Naruto's situation just sucks.

I'm liking your new profile pic, btw!

YunieXTidus on February 28, 2011, 1:04:14 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThank you! I thought it was due for a change. Everyone knows who wears the pants in their relationship, and that pic just proves it. xD I'm alllllmost done, just got the last few lines to write, and then voila! One-shot that I never thought I'd do, DONE. <3

nextguardian on February 28, 2011, 1:15:06 PM

nextguardianI'd trade places with Kakashi in a heartbeat, lol.

Awesome! I'm working on the co-op fic's next chapter and the next part of 'Serving' atm.

YunieXTidus on February 28, 2011, 1:34:14 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWow. Thank you so much! I just felt so bad for Naruto, I had to do something for him. This was the only way I could. xD

Also, how's your YuHisa fic coming?

nextguardian on February 28, 2011, 1:39:21 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt was a really nice gesture :)

Not bad. I'm drawing a blank on what to add to it tonight, but I'm still moving faster on it that I thought I would ^^ It's coming along nicely.

YunieXTidus on February 28, 2011, 1:41:58 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusGlad to hear it! I'm excited to see how that turns out.

What did you think of Hisako's memory of her and Naruto's first meeting (with Sakura thrown in the mix)? Do you think it suited the three of them?

Do you think any of it was overdone? When Hisako was telling Naruto that she just wanted to make his pain go away, "even if it's just for a little while," I couldn't quite get the words to come out right.

nextguardian on February 28, 2011, 1:53:05 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI like how you did the story without really messing with the canon storyline. An untold side of Naruto was the perfect route to go.

I loved Hisako's line. She sounded a like friend who really would do anything,and that presented her with the opportunity to really connect with Naruto. I think it was pretty classy at the end, too. The sex fit into the story well. It didn't seem forced or as a result of hormones. It was like...protective sex, I guess? Genuine, too.

I've go no complaints, in other words XD

YunieXTidus on February 28, 2011, 1:58:15 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI had actually never imagined writing a story like this for Naruto. In my main fic, Hisako actually finds him kind of annoying. But this was... i wouldn't say 'fun,' but it was rather satisfying to write. I feel like I helped Naruto out of his slump. xD

That's the kind of friend Hisako is. She's loyal to the very last. And it doesn't hurt that she's in love with her best friend. Imagining it in my head, their 'sex' didn't feel forced or angsty or driven by desire. Well, maybe a little angsty, because she's trying to help him forget his loss. But I really enjoyed writing this, and I'm actually considering more like this in the future. xDD

nextguardian on February 28, 2011, 2:05:52 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, and how! That's one heck of a way to snap a losing streak!

I found that whole scenario to be innately (sp) sweet somehow. I'm a hopeless romantic, so that's probably why. Maybe a little angsty, but Hisako didn't come off like she was using the situation as an excuse to get with Naruto, or conversely that Naruto was using Hisako. It was like this serendipitious (is that even a word?) joining of the heart and body.

YunieXTidus on February 28, 2011, 2:08:40 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusInnately - i do believe it's a word.

Serendipitous - also a word, but i've never heard it used before.

And what you just said on top of your comment on the fic just made me airpunch. xD I'm kinda giddy right now.

nextguardian on February 28, 2011, 3:06:30 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, crap! Sorry! I thought I responded to you! Really, really sorry about that! Blah, I'm off tonight. Seriously, didn't mean to ignore you ><'

My vocabulary is pretty large, or so I'm told. It's handy to annoy people, lol. I told one of the players that threatened me that 'we aren't going to debate semantics!'. He had no idea what to say. He accused me of not being able to spell the word. I informed him that he didn't know what the word meant.

I'm glad to hear it :) I was really at a loss for words. I just can't say enough good about that fic.

YunieXTidus on February 28, 2011, 3:11:27 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusTotally fine! I've done that a time or two.

My vocab is pretty large, too. And lol at your wordplay debate. That sounds like something I'd do.

Well, I kind of poured my heart and soul into writing it, and I guess it showed off. xD I'm definitely going to write more with those two. They actually work pretty well together.

Thanks for your comment on the co-op fic. lol, sorry about the beginning. It bugged me to write it, but the brutality was necessary.

I should be on longer tomorrow night. I've got an early morning again tomorrow -_-' Ugh. That's two of the last three days. Blech, don't wanna be up that early.

YunieXTidusI'm really enjoying the insanity bit. It's just so out of the norm.

nextguardian on February 27, 2011, 3:16:17 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThanks^^ Be honest- is Yuji believable when he's insane? I guess he's supposed to be sort of a heretic, I guess? With a touch of bipolar, maybe.

Oh, two questions. If they're your opinion, that's okay, of course^^ I was curious about a couple things. We're back to the getting inside the heads of girls again, lol. Hopefully my questions make sense this time.

how likely are you (or any girl) to go out with a guy who randomly walks up and compliments you?

And would you be offended if a guy wants to make the first date a group thing?

YunieXTidus on February 27, 2011, 9:39:41 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusBe honest- is Yuji believable when he's insane?

I think he's totally believable when he's insane, and even when he's pretending. I think he even believes himself! xD But yeah, you're doing a really good job with the insanity. I'm impressed.


how likely are you (or any girl) to go out with a guy who randomly walks up and compliments you?

Well, I personally wouldn't... I mean, I wouldn't say no to being friends with him and getting to know him better. Some girls wouldn't mind that at all, but I'm not one of them. Hope that helps.

And would you be offended if a guy wants to make the first date a group thing?

No, not at all! That's really not that uncommon. Like the double date with Hisako/Tenzo and Kakashi/Sakura. It would be less stressful, in many ways. Neither of you would be freaking out as much about "Oh, god, what do I do?" because you're more focused on having fun with your friends and getting to know each other better.

--

As always, feel free to ask me questions like this. While I may not think like every female out there, I can surely provide some much-needed insight! :)

nextguardianWell, I appreciate that. I've got no reason to keep it secret, really. A couple of the players in the game I officiated last night (I referee ice hockey) threatened to catch up with me outside the rink and beat the crap out of me (in much less nice terms). They were dead serious, and I heard one of them hanging around afterward. It shook me up quite a bit.

YunieXTidus on February 26, 2011, 2:02:14 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh, my gosh! I'm glad you're all right. That would definitely be a scary situation. Also, I love it that you referee ice hockey. Lol

nextguardian on February 26, 2011, 2:07:24 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThe problem is, these guys frequent the rink I work at for this particular league. So the threat isn't gone yet -_-' I'd like to think they wouldn't be stupid enough to attack me over a game, but they go out there drunk and act like idiots, so I'm not terribly reassured.

XD It's a good job most of the time. I always feel weird saying 'ice hockey', but if I don't specify, people usually ask if I referee ice or roller hockey, since we have both around here.

YunieXTidus on February 26, 2011, 2:10:59 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNo, don't feel weird- I immediately knew why you specified. I went ice skating once. I wasn't very good at it. I didn't lace my boots up tight enough, and they kept wobbling around so I couldn't move very well. lol

I hope they don't try anything... Can you report them?

nextguardian on February 26, 2011, 3:00:02 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianSorry for the wait. More explanations for work -_-'

Skating is hard. My parents stuck me in skates since I was two, so I just kind of got used to it.

I reported them to the rink staff, who is going to suspend them from playing. But they can still show up. If they approach me again, it's a matter for the police.

No problem. It was really a nice 'sketch', though it was as good as a finished product imho. It still amazed me about the shading. The harder I try, the worse I mess it up, lol.

It was a good touch with Kakashi and Sakura. As usual, you kept him in character while giving us a glimpse at his feeligs and how he acts on them.
Very good reaction by Hiskao. I could believe it was genuine, so I'm inclied to believe you did it right :) I can't wait to see how she reacts to this further, despite the fact it's a lousy situation for her.

nextguardian on February 26, 2011, 3:02:27 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThe first two paragraphs after Tenzo finds out her name are my favorites. The description is really great. I like how you pointed out different things (the smell, the brick, etc) and related them to what Hisako's feeling.

YunieXTidus on February 26, 2011, 3:04:47 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI had a little bit of fun writing that part with Tenzo and Neji, but part of the time I was afraid that I was getting Tenzo out of character. But really, he's such a malleable character that I can have him say pretty much anything and it would still work. D'you think I stayed in character for Neji? I think some of my subconscious dislike for him showed through in this chapter. xD

YunieXTidus on February 26, 2011, 3:02:18 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'll probably do 29 tomorrow and post it. Thank you. Lol I had been worrying about it, but after hearing what you thought, I feel better.

I'm on ep 149 in Shippuden- Utakata... totally a jinchuriki, right?

And I hope the situation gets resolved. Please don't get beat into a pulp. xD

YunieXTidus on February 25, 2011, 10:16:24 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAlso- question. Is it possible for Neji to use his Trigrams/Palms attack without activating the Byakugan? I'm guessing not, because he'd need to see the chakra network to know where exactly to hit, but it's just a thought.

YunieXTidus on February 25, 2011, 10:20:00 AM

YunieXTidusThanks. I was trying to think of a way for him not to notice the layer of chakra-soaked water slowly creeping across her body. You'd be able to see that, easy, with the Byakugan activated.

YunieXTidus on February 23, 2011, 9:56:17 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm totally loving the 'insanity' edge you're giving Yuji in the co-op, and I totally agree with Sakura's realization in 'Serving.' "Oh, Yuji..." Poor kid! I just wanna hug him and tell him everything will be all right! xD

nextguardian on February 23, 2011, 10:03:39 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt seemed to make sense for Yuji. He's had zero good things happen to him in that fic, so insanity was the next step, since he's not the type to get into drugs. I wanted to have him be a House-like shinobi, addicted to something yet functioning, or to maybe have him do drugs so that someone might actually kill him, since he couldn't do it himself. But that's not Yuji-ish. Pushing yourself until you loose your mind? Yeah, that's Yuji. I like that I can now make him more violent and devious. It's surprisingly fun to write about him that way ^^

I liked your comment on Serving. It's too bad he's so lousy at being selfish when he needs to be.

YunieXTidus on February 23, 2011, 10:06:25 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI know! Maybe Hisako should make a surprise appearance and knock some sense into him. Lol

YunieXTidus on February 23, 2011, 10:29:55 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh, I was teasing! But it would be interesting to see how she'd react to his insanity, as well as his lonely self in Serving. I can't wait to see this new story, and the one-shot! :D

Also- commented on your profile!

nextguardian on February 23, 2011, 10:53:47 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI would bet she would snap him out of his insanity somehow. She might actually pity him a bit in 'Serving'. It'd be funny to see her go warn Naruto that 'she'd come back if he made her (Sakura) cry.'

Cool! I'll take a look/listen.

In the mean time, I wanted to share this. It's the theme song for 'Serving', if I had to pick one.

I hate it when that happens. The shift key on my old keyboard kept getting stuck, which was only mildly annoying at first. It was like someone flicking me in the forehead. It got more and more annoying until I finally had to get a new one.

YunieXTidus on February 23, 2011, 8:02:41 PM

YunieXTidusWait, you had to get a new forehead? What? Lol jk jk. I just want a new computer, but for that I'll have to wait til graduation. Lol

nextguardian on February 24, 2011, 1:51:11 AM

nextguardianThat's one upside to going to college online. My parents had no problem with me getting a new computer when my old finally bit the dust. Although I actually bought it myself, come to think. Well, still, going out at nine at night demanding a computer...lol, the poor people that sold it to me. Through an odd series of circumstances, I paid cash for it, and they're looking at me like 'what did you do to get this cash? You've been in here three different times'. If I could have packaged the looks on their faces, I would have made a million.

nextguardian on February 24, 2011, 1:51:42 AM

YunieXTidusThank you! I tried to kind of put myself in her shoes, 'how would i react?' sort of thing, to make it more believable. Other than THAT, I'm having so much fun developing Hisako and Tenzo's relationship little by little. xD

nextguardian on February 21, 2011, 2:04:30 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt's cool to piece together a history for two chars^^ The story is as fun as the destination most of the time. That's actually my favorite part, the development.

YunieXTidus on February 21, 2011, 2:06:30 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYeah, I'm loving it. Half the time I'm not even sure how things are gonna turn out in my fic. I just put the pencil down and write whatever scenario pops into my head, then go back and refine it.

nextguardian on February 21, 2011, 2:14:24 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI tend to write based on my mood. That's not always a good thing, though. I re-read stuff and wish I'd taken more time with it. It's good you take time to refine your stuff.

One thing I really like is how you've got the guys and girls both reacting to romance. I'm not very good at that. Usually, I have Yuji emo-ing over his unspoken love, while Sakura is oblivious. Or Azami knows what he's feeling and she reacts to it, but he just kind of goes about his business normally. You've got Sakura and Kakashi playing off each other, Hisako playing off both of them, and Tenzo reacting to Kakashi and Hisako. It's a good web.

YunieXTidus on February 21, 2011, 2:16:54 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm really glad you said that, because that's something I kind of worry about when I'm writing. "Am I doing this right?"

Cause I have no idea what goes on in the male mind, I'm just guessing. xD

nextguardian on February 21, 2011, 2:30:21 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, the male mind is usually stereotyped pretty accurately, unfortunately. Nah, jk, different personalities make it hard to predict. If it's Kakashi, I would say he's probably lonely as hell, horny as hell from reading nothing but porn, and chances are he's read a story or two about young, dependent, high-school age hottie that latches onto her instructor. In the back of his mind (and getting farther back) is the trouble this will cause. My impression is that he really cares for her, and he's holding back more for her sake than his own, because he's so slack when it comes to his own affairs.

I have the same problem with the female mind. I write stuff assuming that they're perfect little angels and are in control of the guy they're with. With Yuji, girls are a pleasant kind of 'different'. Yuji can read people and their intentions, but a girl near his age somehow clouds his judgement, hence the reason Azami gets the drop on him so much.

And for the record, I've got no clue what girls honestly find attractive. Yuji is basically a wild guess, lol. I don't know if it's a major turn on to see a guy in his underwear in the moonlight with a serious expression, or if looking pensieve is really fodder for a romantic tryst XD

YunieXTidus on February 21, 2011, 2:35:38 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat's a good point. Lol I like the way you worded that.

Also, it depends on the personality who would find it a turn-on. But for things dealing with the female psyche, if you need help, feel free to ask me!

nextguardian on February 21, 2011, 2:44:01 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt seemed to suit him ^^

Well, there is one big question that bugs me. Let's take Azami, for example. She's good looking, everyone knows it. Let's say that, omg, Sasuke showed up. He's his cocky, miserable emo self, but he's somehow attractive (I don't see it). Then there's Yuji. Self-depreciating, a loner, and lacking confidence. Let's say you are in Azami's head. Which traits are actually attractive? I mean, I know everyone likes to feel some measure of control, but they also want their bf/gf to have some backbone, right?

Likewise, if I can help you with a guy's perspective, let me know. I'll be glad to help ^^

YunieXTidus on February 21, 2011, 2:49:45 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, I think the stoicism and the 'cool' aura Sasuke projects is his main drawing factor. I think the few moments where Sasuke shows emotion are when I actually begin to like him, though.

I mean, it's all in the personality of the girl, really. Personally, I'm more drawn to guys like Yuji than guys like Sasuke. Well, guys like Sasuke intimidate the crap out of me, but still. Yuji's caring, and he looks out for the girl. I can't really see Sasuke looking out for anyone but himself. I may be selling him short, but that's my impression.

And I lol'd at the fact that you used 'bf/gf'. Oh my gosh. xD

nextguardian on February 21, 2011, 3:00:37 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI can understand that. Sasuke probably cares in his own way. Arrogance is something I can't stand, hence the reason I really hate Neji at first.

That makes sense, too. I can't quite phrase the question I'd like to ask, because it's such a broad concept. I get there are certain factors that attract two certain people.
Blah. I really need to think about how to word my questions better. Oh, I know! For some reason, I have this belief that girls can kind of pick out when a guy has a crush on them. So when said guy approaches said girl and finally asks her out, what is a realistic way for him to do so. Aside from Yuji being gravely injured, or waking up from some insanely nice fantasy, I've never had him ask anyone out. Every time I try to write it seriously it seems asinine and unbelievable. Any idea on how I would fix that. What would your average girl react positively to?

And double blah. I REALLY wrote that wrong -_-' lol. I have no idea why I did that. Really no clue at all. Yes, clueless sums it up nicely XD

YunieXTidus on February 21, 2011, 3:06:29 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, you're giving girls too much credit. I mean, we're not omniscient, as much as we'd like to be. xD My personal experience with guys asking me out... Gosh. Awkward. Well, I knew he liked me because sometimes I'd catch him looking at me during class, and he'd look away really quickly when our eyes would meet. This went on for a long time before he finally did anything about it. We were hanging out with a bunch of friends in the band room after school, and he's like, "Hey, can I talk to you out in the hallway for a minute?" I just knew he was gonna ask me out because of how embarrassed he sounded. We went down the hallway, way away from the band room. he was like, "do you think... that it would ever work out... between us?"

So. Awkward.

nextguardian on February 21, 2011, 3:16:55 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianSo that leaves the inverse to be true. If girls are not omniscient, then guys can be transparent. That might just be my view. One friend of mine finally gave me a hit on the head with his fist and said "Will you go talk to her? You've gotta stop thinking like she's some unreachable goddess!"

For the record, that IS how most decent guys think. You always get the alpha male types who want to show off and act like idiots and talk about sex nonstop, but the type of guy you described is definitely intimidated.

If you stick to tradition, it's up to the guy to make the first move (which has to be frustrating for both sides. Thank God for the new age where anyone can do anything!), and generally orchestrate a date while basically guessing (from a guy's POV, you understand) at what the girl really wants. I can promise you, guys really DO agonize over stuff like 'should I get the car door for her? Am I supposed to kiss her? Does she kiss me?'

YunieXTidus on February 21, 2011, 3:20:25 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusChivalry is always appreciated. Like, if a guy got the car door for me, or opened doors for me, and stuff... That'd be so freaking cute. xD

And trust me, the girl's guessing just as much as the guy, unless she's been around the block a bit. For me, I'd be so totally clueless. I haven't even been on a real date yet.

YunieXTidus on February 21, 2011, 3:13:01 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWorst part is though, he was so confidence-lacking about it. I mean, if he wasn't so embarrassed about being found out if he was turned down, I might actually have said yes. Well, no, I liked somebody else at the time. xD

A good way to ask someone out?

Well, it would be a good idea to start as friends first. Be like, "Hey, do you want to go do ---- together sometime?" Or be like, "you're pretty cool, do you want to hang out some time?"

Personally, even if that's not the way you approached it, I'd be good with a confident, "hey can I talk to you for a sec?"

"Sure, what's up?"

"They're showing --- in theaters this weekend and I was wondering if you'd like to go with me."

I can actually see Yuji doing something like this, but he'd have to suck up the courage first. The key is to play it cool. A guy who's not sure of himself is kind of a turnoff. Unless it's Yuji. Then it's just cute.

nextguardian on February 21, 2011, 3:40:01 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI like chivalry, myself. It leaves at least one stable element to a date. I exaggerate with Yuji, but in real life I definitely prefer it when whoever I'm talking to (guy or girl, really, but let's stick with girl to avoid abother bf/gf thing, now that we're talking about me. I might be single, but I know to which gender I'm inclined to be attracted to. Female, for the record.) to take some kind of control. Like "No, I don't like Chinese food, to be honest. How about pizza?" That way, I learn something about her. If there are answers offered, I'll pick up on them. (Eventually. Maybe. If I'm not too intimidated to notice. XD)

My problem with confidence is kind of...stupid. I can't decipher between 'confident' and 'cocky' sometimes, if it's me talking. So in real life, I'll keep to myself and observe because I'm genuinely unsure as to how I come off to other people.

The approach you mentioned is perfect for Yuji. I think the next one-shot I do will be a realistic romance fic. How realistic is it, I wonder, for Tsunade to set Sakura up with Yuji when she sees how infatuated he is with her (and how lonely they both are)? Well, either way, next time around, I'll aim for something realistic.

I've got to be going for tonight. I really appreciate all the comments, feedback, and insight into the female psyche that you've given me tonight :) Is there a fic request or something I do for you? You've really been a big help and I appreciate it ^^

One more question, actually. Fact or myth: If a girl talks to a guy, she is interested on some level?

Anyway, thanks again for listening to my half-sane rambling! Have a good night.

YunieXTidus on February 21, 2011, 3:44:29 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat's a good question, and hard to answer. I think it depends on how she's talking to him. Me, personally... I have lots of guy friends that I talk to, but only a few I'm interested in. Give me a more specific scenario and I may be able to help you out. Lol.

And hey, there's nothing wrong with a little boy love. You like who you like. S ;p

nextguardian on February 22, 2011, 5:23:37 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHmm. Okay, how about this one: Girl walks up to a guy. She reminds him that they went to high school together, gives him a big smile, and waits. Is that an opening, or just polite conversation. There's eye contact and a fairly close proximity to one another.

Nothing wrong with it, no. Just not my cup of tea.

If I wasn't afraid of the answer, I'd ask you what guy you'd pair Yuji with, lol.

nextguardian on February 22, 2011, 5:27:21 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianFor the record, the girl made the first move there. I'd love to know about a more everyday situation, like walking to class, as that happened to me once before. She seemed to match my stride and speed, and I hadn't said to words to her before.

nextguardian on February 22, 2011, 5:24:39 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, and I can totally attemtp a HisaYuji fic, if you'd like.

YunieXTidus on February 22, 2011, 11:44:25 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAnd oh my gosh! xD I'm not even sure who I'd pair Yuji with. If I really had to (because it seems weird, what with him not having any homosexual tendencies), I'd probably pair him with Yamato. They knew each other in ANBU, and Yamato works well with anybody as a couple. xD

YunieXTidusThis is so funny. The girl (totally clueless and innocent) invites her boyfriend for an overnight trip for his birthday. He's suspicious at first, but it's her he's talking about, so he figures she didn't even think about that. Well, her friend explained to her what couples do on overnight trips, and now she's all anxious. And he's trying not to think about it because it's -her.- So this page made me lol.

nextguardianIt's weird, but I always like it when the girls kind of 'indulge' the guys during the fics. Not quite like a big sister, but they go out of their way to be sweet, because they know the guy is clueless.

YunieXTidus on February 21, 2011, 12:01:51 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHaha yeah, I think it's cute, too. Working on my update now. ^^

nextguardian on February 21, 2011, 12:05:42 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI appreciate you always chatting about my fics with me afterward. I think that's the best way for me to improve.

The only thing I found hard about the fic was that the FAC rules don't allow you to go into detail about anatomy. So I had to say stuff like 'She had a great figure' and 'she guided him toward more interesting parts of her body', instead of what would really make more sense. I don't want to make it too smutty or anything, but it sucks having to hold back. I do like my fics to keep a sort of innocence to them.

YunieXTidus on February 21, 2011, 12:07:47 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusTrue. You could always post on ff.net or another site like that, and link to it here. I mean, still update here, but put up a notice or something.

And it's my pleasure! I love giving my opinion, so... :P Same goes for me, as well. It's also nice to hear your opinions about my work.

nextguardian on February 21, 2011, 12:13:00 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI thought about that, but the ff'ers can be brutal if you use OC's. Which sucks, because some people do them very well. It's a shame a lot of people killed the art with god chars -_-'

I like giving feedback, too. It makes me look at someone else's fics, and then at my own. Your stuff definitely influenced mine in that I brought it back to something closer to a 'Naruto' style, and started that new fic I have yet to debut.

I've got to go afk for a while, but I'll be back. Thanks again for the comment :)

YunieXTidus on February 21, 2011, 12:14:42 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, don't let that bother you! Your use of the OC is really really well-done, and I don't think they'd be that opposed to it, if they actually -read- your stuff.

Alrighty.

YunieXTidus on February 21, 2011, 1:32:08 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, he doesn't want to draw attention to the fact that his student is capable of seducing him so thoroughly. xD His 'iron will' doesn't last very long when they're alone, though, as you can see for yourself. xDD

nextguardian on February 21, 2011, 1:39:38 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, true. She totally owns him. I feel bad for the guy. He's hanging on by a thread for sure, if he made to get rid of the mask.

YunieXTidus on February 21, 2011, 1:43:11 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYou know he's done for when he does that where she can actually see him. xD I'm gonna try to focus more on his 'love' feelings for her rather than his lust for her in some of the further chapters. I feel like I'm turning him into a sex-deprived pervert who just wants nothing better than to bone his student. lol

nextguardian on February 21, 2011, 1:47:06 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWell, it could be worse. He could want to bone an unwilling student. Bad joke aside, I really like the he said/she said attraction you've got going. They're both attracted to each other, and they both know it. It makes the unpleasant question 'what do we do about it?' show up in a good way.

I'm all for more love in the fic, too. You've got such a perfect situation set up I don't think there's a wrong way to write it, which is definitely a testament to your skills.

It's a little hokey, but it was a concept I never really did much with. It seemed to fit Tsunade's personality, though.

YunieXTidusPretty good. My friend hasn't been available to talk like he usually is, lately, though... So there's that. And then there's my other friend who's not acting like himself... But there's ups and downs to everything, i guess. xD

Okay, cool, I'll check it out.

nextguardian on February 21, 2011, 9:59:01 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianMy friends are like that, too. Except they're so transparent in's embarrasing. They suddenly act all worldly and proper if they have a girlfriend. It's really funny, because unless their girlfriends are completely dumb, they'll see through the act. lol, poor fools.

YunieXTidus on February 21, 2011, 10:01:48 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI totally get you. But it's not quite like that. My friend and I have a mostly platonic friendship. I mean, we flirt and stuff, but it's harmless banter. But yesterday, I'm not really sure what his deal was, but he kind of crossed some of his own boundaries concerning our friendship. Which wouldn't be a big deal, except he's 26 and I'm 17. It's just kind of weird between us now.

nextguardian on February 21, 2011, 10:10:41 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, wow, I wasn't even trying to guess at that! My friends haven't talked about anything else recently. Must be something up with the guys.
Either way, sorry to hear about that with your friend. I know a lot of guys are less concerned about age, but there's still some stuff you don't do.

YunieXTidus on February 21, 2011, 10:13:02 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, it's just not like him. He usually is the one who has to stop -me-, not the other way around. I mean, I don't think any less of him- we're all human, we all make mistakes every now and then. It's just kind of awkward now.

nextguardian on February 21, 2011, 10:19:49 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, I get you. The awkwardness will pass, I'd imagine, since you two are cool with each other. It's a pretty normal thing to happen, I'd guess. I'm much like Yuji when it comes to girls, so I can't really say much, lol.

YunieXTidus on February 21, 2011, 10:21:33 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYeah, I hope so. I talked with him on the phone today, and when he tried to apologize about it, I cut him off and started talking about something else. He feels really bad about it. I mean it was nothing huge, but still, I don't want him doing something that he could get in trouble for, y'know?

YunieXTidus on February 21, 2011, 10:22:30 AM

nextguardian on February 21, 2011, 10:25:40 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI think you handled it well. It's especially nice of you to spare him the apology. You've got a good thought process behind your actions. Age matters less when both parties are 18+. Or so I'm told.

Sadly, I'm no expert with lipgloss of any kind, especially that kind! lol. Hope you enjoy the fic, however ridiculous it was ^^'

YunieXTidus on February 21, 2011, 10:28:38 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusFor me, it doesn't really matter as it is. But there are laws, i suppose. xD And thanks. He apologized right after it happened when i called him out on it, and i told him that i didn't think any less of him, and we're still cool. But i could tell it was still eating at him. I just hope he can put it out of his mind, you know?

And gosh, that would be one heck of a weekend! xD

nextguardian on February 21, 2011, 10:36:01 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianTrue. That's one of those things where I'm not sure if I agree with the law or not. But, then again, I can definitely see the point of it. I wouldn't worry- he'll forget about it sooner or later. You're showing it's no big deal, which means he'll probably adopt your thinking.

lol, really! That would be a very...exerting weekend, for sure.

YunieXTidusWell, it kind of was a big deal for me. I just didn't want him to be bothered by it. But yeah, I think you're right. And I definitely don't agree with the law on that point, except for certain situations.

nextguardian on February 21, 2011, 10:59:37 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIn that case, it's even cooler of you to treat it like it's no big deal. Definitely nice of you.

yeah, true. Very true. lol.

She writes this kind of sci-fi/horror. The main character is a girl who works for this 'church'. The plot is hard to explain, especially since I'm new to it myself. But the gist is that Chess (an abbrevation of the heroine's name) has to remove ghosts, which are commonplace in this version of the world. While she's doing that, she's caught in the middle of a drug war, as her boyfriend/dealer is on one side, and her best friend is on the other. It's very interesting. The drugs have kind of a different effect in the story. They're less 'bad' somehow. It doesn't glorify using them. It's complicated, but interesting.

I'm just about to put up a new chapter in the 'Naruto Couples' thing. Want to be the first to read it and tell me if it's appropriate for the site? jk, it's not THAT steamy. At least, I don't think so.

YunieXTidus on February 21, 2011, 11:02:22 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusDefinitely! Although, your readers can put up with a lot more than you think. :P I'm pretty excited for your co-op update(s) and your next Serving update, too! They're both coming along nicely.

And it sounds interesting! I may take a look at it. Right now I'm reading a manga called "High School Debut." It's a shoujo, but I'm a hopeless romantic, and it's really cute. xD

nextguardian on February 21, 2011, 11:09:48 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm really excited about both those fics, too. I'm two chapters ahead on the co-op fic. As soon as Andr28a updates, I can, too. I'm also a few ahead in serving, but my schoolwork is piling up, so I can't just upload them all, in case I have no time to write. So it'll keep getting updated regularly ^^
Anyway, this fic is kind of an offshoot of the co-op. It's a 'what if' while Yuji and and Azami are living together white he fights to get her citizen rights. Enjoy!

http://www.fanart-central.net/chapter-101054.html

I'm in the middle of 'Unholy Magic' right now. The first book in the series is called 'Unholy Ghosts'. It's categorized as 'Urban fantasy/ Horror' which is a little misleading imho. It's a good story, with some romance elements and whatnot.

I freely admit to reading some Shoujo stuff. Jigoku Shoujo (aka Hell Girl), Vampire Knight, and I've browsed a couple others. I'm a sucker for romance, too. It's probably weird for a guy to say that, but whatever. I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't admit to reading the stuff. Most manga fans do read Shoujo stuff. At least, all the ones I've talked to.

And I'm rambling. lol.

YunieXTidus on February 21, 2011, 11:11:51 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNo, no, you're not rambling! While the men who are suckers for romance are hard to come by, they're not unappreciated! I'm a sucker for guys who are suckers for romance. I'm sure lots of girls are. xD

nextguardian on February 21, 2011, 11:16:00 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt's nice to hear that, believe me. I don't know why more guys just don't admit to it. It's like the one guy who takes home ec in high school and admits he likes it. He's the one in class with 29 girls. Who's getting the better end of the deal? Him ,or the all the guys who pick on him for being 'soft'. (No, that wasn't me in high school, surprisingly enough. lol. I was more like McGee. I took it seriously enough to be made fun of XD)

I think I figured out why I like Stacia Kane so much. From her website, she lists things you often see in her work. quoting from http://www.staciakane.net/meet-stacia/ :

1. Third person. I’m not a fan of first person and don’t write in it. My romances are, of course, written from third omniscient, but my urban fantasy is strictly from the heroine’s POV (= Point of View).

2. Absent Families. Either they’re dead or they’re just a bunch of jerks, but not one heroine I’ve ever written has had a warm family relationship. Fathers often sell their kids out. Mothers are cruel and distant.

5. Smoking. Yeah, I know. Not everyone smokes, but enough people do that it’s safe to say if you pick up one of my books chances are somebody, some time, is going to smoke a cigarette.

6. Smooth dialogue, everybody is smart. Nobody is stupid (at least nobody we’re supposed to like), not even the characters who never had an education. They may not know algebra but they have agile minds, and their dialogue tends to be quick and clean. At least I try to make it so; dialogue is a big issue for me.

7. Manners/the man pays. Oh, yes. My characters use each others’ last names regularly and often wait to be invited to use firsts. My men open doors, believe in “ladies first”, prepare drinks, and always pay for meals (unless the heroine specifically does the inviting.) They get a little anal about it, too, sometimes. Even my poor uneducated men know how to treat a lady, and that’s how they see them, too—as ladies.

9. Heroes are dark/heroines are slim. Both personally and physically. I’m another one who just doesn’t find blond men terribly appealing as a rule, so my heroes have dark hair and dark eyes. Most of them have Deep Secrets too, or if they don’t they’re just plain criminals. Also, my heroines tend not to be curvy. They’re slim, small-breasted, probably not particularly tall, and average pretty.

10. Violence/stuff explodes/car chases/infernos. Oh how I love action. People in my books are always running, away from the crazy guy with the knife or the evil spirit they don’t yet know how to defeat. They’re in the car breaking laws as bad guys shoot at them or hordes or vampires chase them. Fire is everywhere. Houses catch fire, warehouses, corpses, heroes are fire demons who can burn stuff to a crisp just by thinking of it—now that I’m thinking of it, if something isn’t burning yet in one of my books it’s probably at least been foreshadowed. Just give it time. Everything burns.

nextguardian on February 21, 2011, 11:17:07 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThe exception to the rules we have in common:

8. Everybody has great sex. Like I said, my heroes believe in ladies first

Poor Yuji. Poor, poor, Yuji. And poor Azami, too. lmao. If they could talk, I bet they'd tell you that they wish they were born from the mind of someone who actually believes relationships CAN happne in his work!

YunieXTidus on February 21, 2011, 11:25:50 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI like third person, too. You do use first person a lot though, which is refreshing to see. And lol on #8.

You should give Yuji and Azami a break! Poor kids. xD I'm about halfway through your update, i had to go do dishes and take out the trash.

nextguardian on February 21, 2011, 11:28:52 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI don't know why a lot of people don't like first person. I guess it's supposed to be a 'shortcut' way to write, or a way to put yourself in a fic, but it can be a great storytelling tool.

I really should. lol. I pity them. Even if they get what they want, I make them go through hell.

I can't wait for your next update. Both of the fics you've got going now are a blast. I like the fact that you have a female lead. Those tend to be rare. Especially done well, which is certainly the very definition of what you're doing with Hisako :)

YunieXTidus on February 21, 2011, 11:31:50 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, thank you! That means a lot to me. And I had intended Sakura to be the female lead, but I guess that didn't happen. They're co-leads, I guess. I have chapter 27 unfinished, it's what happens with Kakashi and Sakura at the bar after Hisako leaves. I haven't typed it all up yet, but I'm thinking I may get to that after I finish your update. It's really good so far. The belt bit in the beginning made me chuckle.

YunieXTidus on February 21, 2011, 10:50:17 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAnd you know you'd love every second. xD

No, I haven't. What sort of stuff does she write?

Either way, thanks for the comments ^^

And thanks again for the V-day 1 shot! I'm guessing the punctiation mess-ups came from a site error in the bb code or something. The site has been a little off the past few days.

YunieXTidusi went in and fixed it, so it should be more readable now. I'm working on part 2 as we speak! Should be up by 11 at the latest. How's your and andr28a's co-op comin'?

nextguardian on February 15, 2011, 11:25:39 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianCool! Can't wait to read it.

I'm just waiting on his update. I'm a couple chapters ahead because our OC's are doing their own things. But we've got an interesting direction set for the fic, I think :)

YunieXTidus on February 15, 2011, 11:26:30 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusSounds cool, I can't wait for the update! I think both of your OC's have a great dynamic. xD

nextguardian on February 15, 2011, 11:33:52 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThey contrast really well, I think. Ryofu is outwardly powerful and is not loyal to a group, while Yuji is loyal to the Leaf and powerful in a more quite way. Or at least that's how it worked out ^^'

YunieXTidus on February 15, 2011, 11:35:42 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYeah... I think it would be interesting to see how they'd play off of each other and Hisako. THAT would be interesting. xD

nextguardian on February 15, 2011, 11:40:36 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianMaybe the three of us should do a co-op fic sometime. I think that would be interesting.

YunieXTidus on February 15, 2011, 11:41:43 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHa, that would definitely be interesting.

nextguardian on February 15, 2011, 11:45:03 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWe could always write a triple-date fic. We each write the date from our OC's perspective. That is, if Ryofu has a girl at that point. Yuji too, for that matter. lol

YunieXTidus on February 15, 2011, 11:46:15 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLmao that would be incredible xD And I honestly can't see Ryofu on a date... He seems too quiet and withdrawn to be a good date. Although, you know, I could be selling him short.

nextguardian on February 15, 2011, 12:14:43 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat might be true. Yuji's almost the same, except he seems to want the company.

YunieXTidus on February 15, 2011, 12:26:28 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh, but Yuji's reactions are too cute for him to NOT get a date at some point. xD

nextguardian on February 15, 2011, 12:43:14 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI suppose so XD I've been having fun with that part of him, to be sure.
I like how nothing phases Hisako very much. The way she can kind of go with the flow is really cool.

YunieXTidus on February 15, 2011, 12:44:09 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThanks. Yeah, she's pretty chill.

nextguardian on February 15, 2011, 1:03:54 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat makes her really fun imho.

YunieXTidus on February 15, 2011, 1:09:10 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHaha, thanks. I'm working on part 2 right now, and I feel like I'm not using Yuji properly, if that makes sense. xD

And I'm leaving Kakashi out altogether. It's just dangerous for me to put Kakashi and Sakura in the same room if they're not paired, because I don't think I could help but make it at least -slightly- KakaSaku.

nextguardian on February 15, 2011, 1:13:33 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNot using him properly? Maybe you aren't abusing him enough? XD It's what he's used to, after all!

Ohh, that sounds dangerous, yet fun on so many levels too, lol.

YunieXTidus on February 15, 2011, 1:15:26 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusMaybe so! It's just wrong for Yuji to have so much good luck in one sitting!

And xD I just couldn't do that to poor Yuji. He has a hard enough time of it as it is. xD

nextguardian on February 15, 2011, 1:22:45 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI wonder how he'll pay for it later? lol. He can't have good luck without getting punished somehow XD

That's really nice of you. I'm sure Yuji would be thankful. I've got this fic I've started that uses a scrapped beginning for the HisaYamaYuIno fic that I hope will be fun someday. I originally paired him with Azami in that fic, but for someone reason, Ino and Yuji seemed like a cute idea.

Do you ever picture Hisako with anyone besides Yamato?

YunieXTidus on February 15, 2011, 1:24:20 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell... Initially, I'd wanted Kakashi to have a thing with Hisako, but after I met Yamato I was just sold. Although if I really -had- to pick... No, I just can't see her with anyone else. xD

nextguardian on February 15, 2011, 1:28:51 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, I was the same way about Yuji and Sakura. But in my case, I can't have Yuji beat really strong canon characters outright; it's seems to god like for him.

Did you ever think of making a male OC? I've had a ton of fun with Azami. It can actually be more fun to write about the opposite sex.

YunieXTidus on February 15, 2011, 1:36:23 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusPart 2 is up! I've had to split it into thirds. XD
And I've considered it, but for now it just seems like too much work. XD

nextguardian on February 15, 2011, 1:53:51 PM

You did really good work with that. It's one of those horrible, gut-wrenching scenes, but you wrote it really tastefully, which is hard to pull off.

YunieXTidus on February 11, 2011, 12:57:44 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI think you have... You've ruined me! xD

And yeah, I tried to keep the 'nasty' to a minimum, while still giving off the effect I wanted.

nextguardian on February 11, 2011, 1:09:15 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, sorry (hangs head in shame). But you could've picked up some of my GOOD qualities, in my defense! Whatever they are XD

I think it was because you focused on the attackers so well. You made them seem like the slimeballs they were supposed to be, rather than have them make comments about Hisako's body.

YunieXTidus on February 11, 2011, 1:10:48 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD well, don't beat yourself up. It makes for a good story. Besides, Ryouko's so pathetic, it's impossible NOT to love him. xDD

Good point. I hadn't even thought about that!

nextguardian on February 11, 2011, 1:14:08 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianTrue. He's really pitiable XD

That's just my opinion, but I think that's why it worked so well. It didn't feel blunted, like you were holding description back because you didn't want to say too much (I have a tendency to fall into that). You said the right amount of the right stuff.

Well, I've got to go for tonight. Good talking with you, and again, great update!

nextguardianThanks :) Well, she relaxed at the end, mercifully. The poor thing was shaking and miserable. She had almost her whole family there (well, people, anyway), and was pretty content. I couldn't have asked for more at that point. Aside from maybe about 60 more healthy years for her. Oh well. It's a shame that animals don't have the lifespans that people do.

I read your latest chapter. Really good work!

YunieXTidusI know, I wish dogs lived as long as we did. My dog died much the same way. It's hard. She lived a good life, and that's all I could really ask. I really empathize with you, though. It sucks.

And thanks! I'm gonna have to go back and reread my chapter to refresh my memory. I've been on a Naruto binge today. I stayed home sick and got through 30 episodes today. I'm up to Jiraiya in the Rain village. I have a very bad feeling.

nextguardianThank God I had my other dog to come home to. It would have been a lot harder if she hadn't been there, scampering to greet me.

Wow, you're really flying through the series! You'll be ahead of me soon, since I'm taking my time. I'm three books behind on the manga releases (which just hit book 50).

YunieXTidus on February 10, 2011, 12:44:56 PM

YunieXTidusYeah, it just goes to show I have no life! xD I had planned to use this sick day to get chapters 25 and 26 up, but I just didn't feel like it. I'm so glad tomorrow's Friday, though.

Thanks for the comment, I had to chuckle. xD I'm glad you're picking up on the frustration I'm trying to show. Next chapter, Hisako's gonna visit Lee in the hospital, and Sakura may or may not go give Kakashi a piece of her mind. I haven't decided.

YunieXTidusYeah, it's sounding more and more appealing the more I think about it. Really, the only person who really could tell him off is Sakura, you know? xD

nextguardianHell hath no fury like a woman's wrath. A woman scorned...
and other phrases guys use to justify their fear of women. lol. Being Yuji's creator, I have to know them XD

YunieXTidus on February 10, 2011, 12:54:03 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol that's right! Yuji narrowly dodged a bullet with his almost kissing Sakura... Hisako may have ripped him a new one. xD

nextguardian on February 10, 2011, 12:56:09 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat would have been hilarious. Although I wonder if Hisako would pull her punches for such an obviously pathetic creature like Yuji? lol.

I re-read one of my favorite chapters I've ever written today. It's a 12 chapter long fic I did two-three years ago. I thought I'd link it because I really can't think of a good one-shot atm.

http://www.fanart-central.net/chapter-96286.html

YunieXTidus on February 10, 2011, 12:59:00 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAw, she wouldn't kill 'im. She WOULD leave him in an unidentifiable bloodied pulp on the side of the road somewhere, though. Laying a hand on her little Sakura-chan... Unforgivable!

I'll check it out as soon as this episode's over! I think Jiraiya and Pain are about to meet. This is so intense!

nextguardian on February 10, 2011, 1:00:49 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, poor Yuji. But- the big question- what if Sakura was all for it? Then how would Hisako react? I get a vivid image of her holding Yuji by the neck and warning him that 'if he ever made her cry, I'll make sure you suffer in the worst imaginable way- and then I'll make it worse!'.

Cool! Enjoy!

YunieXTidus on February 10, 2011, 2:28:04 PM

YunieXTidusLol I can totally picture that. And I've commented on the first 4 chapters.

nextguardian on February 10, 2011, 2:33:04 PM

Not too bad. I've got my next co-op fic chapter done, and I'm a few ahead in 'Serving', but they aren't quite ready to upload yet.
How is your stuff coming?

YunieXTidus-_-

I know why you didn't get my comment... I didn't hit "submit."

YunieXTidus on February 7, 2011, 11:29:48 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus"Maybe she could have water cover her fists and add power to her punches. The water could then snare the enemy and add weight to their body until they couldn't move."

This gave me the idea that she could do that, but also where a small film of water covers her whole body and if she even manages to brush against the enemy (any sort of physical contact at all) she can spread it across to them- kind of like a Water-style adaptation of Shikamaru's Shadow Possession Jutsu. This is for team settings. The film that covers her whole body can also become really dense, slowing down her movements a bit, but absorbing physical attacks.

I'm also thinking about having her be able to turn the oxygen around her and her opponent into water, but i'm still trying to work out how that would be plausible. Since it's rearranging things atomically, it would definitely be a HUGE chakra consumer.

nextguardian on February 7, 2011, 11:32:50 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, that's cool! I like that. I could definitely see that working out nicely.

Well, there are a couple ways around that. Yuji's method is to use chakra enhancers in the form of cigarettes, for example. The other option I can think of is to explain the jutsu as using the already existing oxygen as a 'catalyst'. Basically, at one point you have Hisako say "This would cost me a ton of chakra normally, but if I use the oxygen in the air, it's a simple matter to convert it into water!"

YunieXTidus on February 7, 2011, 11:34:33 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusGood point, but... where would the hydrogen come from?

nextguardian on February 7, 2011, 11:36:38 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianMaybe you could use the already existing moisture in the ground and trees for that. Like Gaara could make more sand from the ground against Kimimaro.

YunieXTidus on February 7, 2011, 11:47:21 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThere's an idea. But it's something "straight on and powerful, and leaves room for development," like you mentioned.

You think it's a good idea, though?

nextguardian on February 7, 2011, 11:50:57 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI think it makes sense, given what I know about the Naruto world. I think it fits Hisako. So I would have to say it's a good idea. Especially because it's really flexible and has easily visible upsides and downsides to it.

YunieXTidus on February 7, 2011, 11:53:28 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI think, to make it easier for her, she'll have to carry a small gourd of water with her on missions. xD Like gaara, only a LOT smaller.

nextguardian on February 7, 2011, 12:02:05 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat's a good idea. In the laws of the Naruto universe (I'm guess here), it uses less chakra to multiplying something already existing than 'summoning' it, so to speak.

YunieXTidus on February 7, 2011, 12:04:30 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYeah. I actually got the idea from The Last Airbender, where Katara the waterbender has that flask of water that she can uncork and use.

nextguardian on February 7, 2011, 12:10:42 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI should have known you were a Last Airbender fan. You're too awesome not to be! Man, the cartoon style still gets me. It was the best mix of anime and American-style animation I've ever seen. It's an awesome idea for Hisako, too.

I thought you'd get a kick out of this:
http://www.fanart-central.net/chapter-90980.html

YunieXTidus on February 7, 2011, 12:18:25 PM

nextguardian on February 6, 2011, 3:24:02 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI can't wait :D

I was curious about something- when you picture Yuji, do you picture him with a weapon?

YunieXTidus on February 6, 2011, 3:29:22 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusUpdated! And every now and then. I tend to picture him with the kind of weapon Sasuke has in part II. Not sure why.

nextguardian on February 6, 2011, 3:31:25 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm off to read your update.

I usually have him unarmed because of his tendency to avoid killing. But I've been toying with what kind of weapon to give him lately. I gave him dual kodachi (Between the trench coat, the bad attitude, and the kodachi, he wound up a lot like Aoshi Shinomori of Rurouni Kenshin fame), but I'm not quite sure that's his official thing. I gave him a regualar staff, but do you think that's too plain?

YunieXTidus on February 6, 2011, 3:32:53 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNah, not "too plain." In fact, I think it suits his personality. And I'm excited to start drawing Yuji's Valentine's Day present. You'll love it, I'm sure!

nextguardian on February 6, 2011, 3:39:14 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI really wanted him to have a dual something as tribute to Asuma, but it just wasn't working well. I kept having Yuji put whatever it was down to perform Jutsus, and then he'd just all of a sudden have it back. It made me feel like a sloppy writer.

I can't wait to see this, then! I have no doubt I'll love it. I've never been disappointed by your work yet.

Speaking of which, I commented on your chapter. It made me lol literally. I think my comment said it all.

YunieXTidus on February 6, 2011, 3:44:35 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThanks for the comment! Now that I go back and read it, it -is- pretty funny, huh? xD

Yeah, Hisako's not one known to hold back.

And thank you! I'm really glad you like my artwork.

nextguardian on February 6, 2011, 3:47:43 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt totally blindsided me. I really didn't see that coming at all. Naruto falling from the tree was a nice touch, too^^

That straightforwardness is going to be a handy trait for Hisako, I bet.

YunieXTidus on February 6, 2011, 3:50:50 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHaha, thanks. Naruto's naturally clumsy, so it just kind of fit.

I had wanted to add more, but I was lazy and wanted to get it up right now, so I just decided to stretch out this one chapter into "Day 1," "Day 2," and "Day 3." It shouldn't take too long.

And about Hisako- how do you mean?

nextguardian on February 6, 2011, 3:57:23 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIf I can picture it happening in the anime, then it's usually a good fit for Naruto's world imho.

I do that, too. I used to have to have each update be 2000 words at least, but now I'm more interested in where the plot ends up.

Well, the easiest example is Yuji. His reaction to her, even saying that she doesn't go easy. She tells it like it is without being rude or blunt. That's a hard distinction imho. The ability to lay the cards on the table without batting an eye is really cool. It gives her control over just about any given situation.
I doubt that explanation helped, but I tried. lol.

YunieXTidus on February 6, 2011, 4:00:32 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNo, it helped! And when it comes to Sakura, she can definitely be rude or blunt, but I think that just comes with the best friend territory.

I'm having trouble coming up with an original Ninjutsu for Hisako. I mean, her skills are above par for the average gennin, partly due to her age, and partly due to her every-day training. But I just come up dry when I try to think of anything.

nextguardian on February 6, 2011, 4:04:58 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI think you're right. Best Friend priveleges would apply there. She's tactful enough to know how blunt to be, if that makes sense.

Well, what sort of chakra do you think she has? Wind, fire, water, etc?

YunieXTidus on February 6, 2011, 4:07:58 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusEh, I'd probably say water.

nextguardian on February 6, 2011, 4:15:02 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianLet's see...There's water clones, mist jutsu, and the rest of Zabuza's repertoire. Giving Hisako's personality (what I know, anyway), I would say something straight on and powerful with room for development later. Maybe she could have water cover her fists and add power to her punches. The water could then snare the enemy and add weight to their body until they couldn't move.
Or something where she directs water with her movements, so she attacks with taiujutsu and the water helps her and extenders her range.

Just a couple thoughts there, anyway.

I've got to go for tonight. Good talking with you, as always!

YunieXTidus on February 6, 2011, 4:16:24 PM

Oh yeah, Ryofu also has a jacket but is usually wrapped around his waist

Anything else?

YunieXTidus on February 6, 2011, 6:22:03 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHmm... Does he use a sword? For some reason, i keep picturing him with a sword. But other than that, no I think that covers it. :)

andr28a on February 6, 2011, 8:14:50 AM

andr28a on
andr28aHe does indeed posses a sword. It's interesting as it is a very curved sword. Ryofu weilds his sword back handedly, so a sword that can curve around his back is what I'm looking for. Think of it as a more curved version of a katana

YunieXTidus on February 6, 2011, 10:39:18 AM

My Mom did say she'd be a little worried if I brought an 'Abby' home. But, hey, I'm the one who'd have to share a coffin with her, as Abby pointed out to McGee once. lol.

YunieXTidusIn the part of Texas where I live, it's a pretty dry heat. I came from up north, so I used to be used to the cold, but I got acclimated to the warm weather really fast. It doesn't help that I have a naturally low body temperature, so anything below 60 is seriously cold for me.

nextguardianAh, I see. That would be troublesome then, I'd imagine. I just like the cold because if you're cold, you can put on more clothes. If it's hot, you can't just take off clothes. Well, okay, you COULD, but you'd probably get arrested or caught on someone's cell phone. lol

YunieXTidus on February 3, 2011, 12:39:23 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh, don't get me wrong, I love the cold. I just hate it when I'm cold all the time! And yeah, it would not do to go around streaking.

nextguardian on February 3, 2011, 12:44:44 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI don't like it when the cold and wind mix. yuck.

So, if I can ask, what has your favorite part of 'Serving' been? And the co-op fic?

YunieXTidus on February 3, 2011, 12:49:38 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYes, of course you can! In 'Serving,' I'm not really sure. I really liked that one part where you explained about his "inner self." For the co-op, I'd have to say that any interaction between Azami and Yuji is golden. Um... I like the bits with Yuji and Itachi.

nextguardian on February 3, 2011, 12:53:08 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, good. I think you'll like the rest of 'Serving'. I explain his inner-self more, and get into a lot of history and secrets.

Andr28a and I are already planning a sequel to the co-op fic. I've got one in mind for serving, plus that other fic that Hisako will be in. So much fan-fictiony goodness!

Fun fact: 'Serving' started out as an AzaYu romance fic. Probably not hard to see, based on the first few chapters.

YunieXTidus on February 3, 2011, 12:54:42 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYaaay! And, if I may also ask, what parts of my fic do you like/dislike the most?

nextguardian on February 3, 2011, 12:56:46 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI like your descriptions of Kakashi best. When you get inside his head and mention what he's thinking. It's a really cool perspective because it's done so rarely in the manga/anime. You keep it in character, too, which I really like.

Is there anything you think is missing from my fics? Anything you think I should add?

YunieXTidus on February 3, 2011, 12:58:26 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNo, not in particular. Although almost NO Yamato! ;o Naw, I'm playing. But in seriousness, I really love your fic, and I can't really find anything negative to say about it. It's very well done.

nextguardian on February 3, 2011, 1:01:54 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWell, that's good to know :) It's weird that there's no Yamato. Or Sai, actually. I usually have Yuji and Yamato know each other from their ANBU days. Same with Sai, usually. Huh. I made Yuji into a goth-ish loner masochist with a few sadistic tendencies but a good heart while being suckish in the romance department... wow. He's a walking contradiction! lol.

How would you describe Hisako?

YunieXTidus on February 3, 2011, 1:07:42 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusShe loves to help. She's a great listener, but hates talking about herself. She usually doesn't let what other people think bother her, but it does more often than she'd like, and she's not one to show when she's suffering. She never really had much luck in the love department either, because she was too "average," and girls like Ino and Sakura took the spotlight. She tries not to let this bother her either, focusing on training instead of socializing.

She's kind of on the outside looking in most of the time. She doesn't really have any close friends except for Sakura, and I'll talk more about that later on in my fic.

nextguardian on February 3, 2011, 1:15:14 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat just reaffirms my belief that she's a great character. Defintely rare to have one so indepth and believable. Her resilence is one of my favorite traits.

Oh, I thought you might get a kick out of this. It's an older fic I did, and I wrote it in a slightly different style than I use now, but it's got a mix of sweet and ecchi in it that reminded me of that fic you linked to me.
http://www.fanart-central.net/chapter-90096.html

Oh, btw, are you familiar with the show NCIS at all?

YunieXTidus on February 3, 2011, 1:17:30 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYes! I love that show. McGee and Ziva are my faves.

nextguardian on February 3, 2011, 1:19:48 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, the above fic btw, it's a horrid cliche on just about any romance manga. It's so...lame in retrospect. lol.

My fave is probably Abby. My favorite male character changes with the episodes, but McGee is always up there.

The reason I mention it is because I got this cool, vivid image of Sakura cosplaying as Abby.

YunieXTidus on February 3, 2011, 1:20:49 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI love Abby, too. And that would be hot, I'm sure! I doubt Yuji'd mind at all.

nextguardian on February 3, 2011, 1:24:34 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI've got to attempt to draw that sometime. It just popped into my head randomly. Probably because of Sakura's boots, and I just watched that NCIS episode where Abby sulks half the episode because she's too tall for her newest bf.

YunieXTidus on February 3, 2011, 1:26:04 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat one was great. And you definitely should!

nextguardian on February 3, 2011, 1:29:44 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat was one of my favorite episodes ^^ I've been Gibbs-slapping people lately, usually accompanied with a 'DiNozzo!'. Lol, it didn't take long for my parents to get tired of it, but they tolerate because they're both big fans, too.

YunieXTidus on February 3, 2011, 1:31:03 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNice. I've done that to my older brother a couple times. He just rolls his eyes at me.

Commented on your one-shot!~

nextguardian on February 3, 2011, 1:35:58 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt's addicting, isn't it? I've also developed a habit of announcing that 'I'm on your six, boss!' whenever I'm following my Mom or Dad out to the car or something.

Oh, thank you! And thank you for the comments on 'Origins'! I completely forgot about that fic!

YunieXTidus on February 3, 2011, 1:36:51 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI love it! I've only gotten to chapter 10, cause i'm trying to finish your co op before getting invested in anything else. but i love it.

nextguardian on February 3, 2011, 1:42:30 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianChapter 11 is my personal favorite on that one^^

On the co-op fic, my chapter 47 (93) may contain a spoiler for you, so heads-up :)

Well, I've got to be going for tonight. Good chatting with you! Finally- another NCIS fan! I was starting to wonder if I was the only one still watching!

YunieXTidus on February 3, 2011, 1:44:35 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNo way! NCIS is the best.

nextguardian on
nextguardianI like how Kakashi scams Yamato for food, lol.

YunieXTidus on February 3, 2011, 10:49:00 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat was epic. He really is a "smooth talker."

nextguardian on February 3, 2011, 10:50:02 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianPoor yamato was completely out of his class when it came to that food bill, lol. I love the whole 'You're my favorite kohai, but I guess I could get this one...' thing. lol. Poor, poor Yamato.
Oh, I also like how scared of Yamato's eyes Naruto is.

YunieXTidus on February 3, 2011, 10:52:14 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus"You're about my only kohai that i think of as an equal... but i guess i could get it." That's how it was in subtitles.

And yes. Every time he puts on the scary face, Naruto's like, "yes yes i'll do anything just stop looking at me like that!"

nextguardian on February 3, 2011, 10:54:00 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianGood memory! I couldn't remember. I haven't watched that episode in a while. Lol, poor guy.

"I'm not above resorting to more...draconian methods..." Yamato saying to Naruto to keep him in line (manga version here) was another fave.

YunieXTidus on February 3, 2011, 10:55:14 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHe says it like that in the english version, but in subs he says, "i'm not above resorting to fear as a method of persuasion."

Lmao you just gotta love Yamato.

nextguardian on February 3, 2011, 10:59:47 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI was definitely a little creeped out by his eyes at first, I admit. Especially when he said that. Now it's just funny.

YunieXTidus on February 3, 2011, 11:00:31 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIt is. He's just too loveable.

nextguardian on February 3, 2011, 11:04:46 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNot to mention he's got some sweet ninjutsu!

I'm almost done with that miserable pic! I changed it partway through. Sakura is now goth, apparently. lmao. It looks good on her, though.

YunieXTidus on February 3, 2011, 11:05:49 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusCan't wait to see it! :)

nextguardian on February 3, 2011, 11:14:50 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianShe looks cute. Yuji is shirtles and in the state after his "Heaven's Temper" thing, and Naruto has this sleeveless trenchoat and a huge scroll. I'm working on single shots of each of them because I've got weapons designed, too.

So, how's your fic coming? Any more HisaYama lovin' coming soon? :)

YunieXTidus on February 3, 2011, 11:16:18 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusSoon, but not yet! I've got to write sakura's side of the "three days," then post my chapter that helped me out of my funk before any more hisayama comes in. i just love that pic. xD

nextguardian on February 3, 2011, 11:23:13 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm happy with any update, of course ^^ No rush. Can't wait to read more. You've got a fun fic going.

YunieXTidus on February 3, 2011, 11:44:49 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThanks! I'm really glad you like it.

nextguardian on February 3, 2011, 11:51:10 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt's good stuff. I'm a sucker for romance fics, for some reason. Yours is especially good.

YunieXTidus on February 3, 2011, 11:52:28 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYou don't know how much it means to me to hear you say that. And there's nothing wrong with being a sucker for romance! Tender hearts are all the rage nowadays.

nextguardian on February 3, 2011, 11:54:29 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardian:) I speak the truth.

I don't know about that. Not too many guys go for the romance thing. Ecchi, maybe. But romance? I'm a romantic at heart, lol. You wouldn't know it by reading my fics! You'd think I was a sadist, given to what I do to poor Yuji!

YunieXTidus on February 3, 2011, 11:56:51 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI think you may have some sadistic tendencies, yes! But don't underestimate yourself. I personally am a sucker for the tenderhearted sweet guys like Yuji. Guys like Sasuke... well not Sasuke. His type is annoying. xD

nextguardian on February 3, 2011, 12:02:50 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianReally? Huh, cool. People usually think that Yuji is me (only parts. Believe me, he's way cooler than me!), and so I get a masochist brand.
Yuji's type is rare. I can't stand Sasuke. Although I dislike Neji more.

YunieXTidus on February 3, 2011, 12:04:14 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI kinda like Neji, when he's not being mean to Hinata. He's quiet, but cool. Sasuke's okay when he's not all "revenge i need to be stronger rawr."

nextguardian on February 3, 2011, 12:06:49 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI was a huge Lee fan (still am) and I never liked how Neji treated him. Not to mention the way Tenten adores him, and he's like 'pff. whatever'.
I like Shino, too. He's underrated.

YunieXTidus on February 3, 2011, 12:08:20 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI loved that one filler ep in part 1 with Naruto and Shino where naruto can't laugh at ALL. That was one of the funnier ones.

nextguardian on February 3, 2011, 12:09:34 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat really was funny. I liked Shino's match vs. Zaku, too. That was one of my favorite chunin exam matches

YunieXTidus on February 3, 2011, 12:10:53 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI looooove Lee. And yes, that was epic. Shino should get more fillers. Definitely. I think we need more Hinata fillers, too. Like, just about her, rather than her whole team.

YunieXTidus on February 1, 2011, 12:41:51 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAw, thank you! I loved drawing it, and I'm a huge fan of that pairing also.~

Oh, I'm toying with a concept drawing for Valentine's Day for Yuji. I think you'll like it.

nextguardian on February 1, 2011, 12:43:44 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYour new chapter was great, too. I also got a kick out Kakashi hitting on Yamato. Nice use of pet names, too.

Cool! I can't wait!

YunieXTidus on February 1, 2011, 12:45:07 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIt just seemed like something Kakashi would totally do, you know? And I couldn't see Yama doing anything but get flustered. xD

nextguardian on February 1, 2011, 12:46:46 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianTheir reactions definitely suited them. Also loved the idea of Kakashi's three-day pornfest, lol.

YunieXTidus on February 1, 2011, 12:47:47 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHaha I know right? Although, to his credit, it's not -all- porn. There's some romance and comedy thrown in to dilute it. A little.

nextguardian on February 1, 2011, 12:49:34 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianTrue. And at least he admits his fanaticism with the series, unlike the 'closet perv', Ebisu.

YunieXTidus on February 1, 2011, 12:50:44 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusTrue, true. I can't wait to put this chapter up, but I've got to do one more chapter first... >_< why can't there be more hours in a day?!

nextguardian on February 1, 2011, 12:53:26 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI know -_-' I've been having these nights where I can't sleep, but I'm too tired to do anything. The only upside is I've shaken myself awake long enough to add more to "Serving Naruto and Sakura". I've got seven more days until my next update. I've been on a roll with that lately.

YunieXTidus on February 1, 2011, 12:55:59 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNice. I'm looking forward to it. I've got to say, your story is really riveting.

nextguardian on February 1, 2011, 1:00:21 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThanks^^ I'm neglecting my romance fics because I'm on a roll with 'Serving' content for now. Poor Yuji. No love at all. lol.

YunieXTidus on February 1, 2011, 1:02:23 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHopefully my Valentine's Day present for him will cheer him up. xD Poor, poor Yuji.

I think I'll also do a Valentine's Day chapter in my story... 13 days to go! xD

nextguardian on February 1, 2011, 1:10:04 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI know, really ^^' Believe me, he sinks to a new low in 'Serving', though it's actually really sweet, in a way.

Oh, that's a good idea. I'm a romantic at heart, so V-day chapters are always fun^^ Did you ever read my last Valentine's day fic, btw?

Oh! It's almost your FAC anniversary, isn't it?

YunieXTidus on February 1, 2011, 1:11:17 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI don't think I have. And yes, two days! Yours is soon, too right?

nextguardian on February 1, 2011, 1:20:39 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianGood! Because it is the WORST V-day fic I have ever written, and almost the worst one I've ever read -_-' It made no sense. It had plenty of fanservice, thanks to very interesting kunoichi costume choices (costumes? It made sense at the time, lol), but beyond that it was pretty lame.

That's right, it is. Three days until mine, I think.

YunieXTidus on February 1, 2011, 1:22:45 PM

nextguardian on February 1, 2011, 1:44:59 PM

nextguardianI told you it was beyond lame XD I seriously almost hate that fic. If it wasn't so bad that it's amusing I would completely hate it.

YunieXTidus on February 1, 2011, 1:46:21 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIt was pretty amusing. xD God, that was funny. I can't believe you called Gaara an old fruit. xDDD

nextguardian on February 1, 2011, 1:49:28 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt seemed funny at the time. Ignoring blood-thirsty Gaara would be a no-no any other time.
The thing I get a kick out of is how, by the end of the day, Yuji is just kind out of it. Ayame in a cheerleader outfit? Nothing surprises him.

By the way, thank you for the comments on the Co-op fic!

I looked at my last chapter on that fic. I can't believe I wrote a 13000 word chapter 00'

YunieXTidus on January 31, 2011, 10:01:38 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHoly cow! That's a lot of words...

I'm working on a HisaYama pic right now, to distract me from my rut. 3: But I think it's coming along quite nicely! Although I did just notice that I don't really draw the leaf headband on people much. :/ And I haven't even mentioned Hisako wearing one in my fic! Yikes...

nextguardian on January 31, 2011, 11:07:33 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI must have been insane to do that. I mean, who the heck would read that on a fanfic? lol. That was just ridiculous.

Ah, very nice! I always add the headband because I can't draw hair. Any bit I can cover up helps.

YunieXTidus on January 31, 2011, 11:41:49 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHaha, it's the opposite with me. I love drawing hair. I used to doodle hair for hours on end. The headband's actually kind of tricky for me. I'm really loving my pic!

Btw how is your pic coming along? Is it pending, or have you not finished it yet?

nextguardianCool! I can't wait to read it. I can't wait to read your fic regardless, if I'm honest. I really do look forward to it.

Yeah, but really, at least someone likes Hisako. Yuji must be totally unnatractive to the opposite sex, because no one ever randomly likes him. No one crushes on him the way he crushes on Sakura.

YunieXTidus on January 30, 2011, 12:01:22 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh don't give him such a hard time. I had originally intended to pair Hisako up with him, but then I met Yamato, and... *sigh* Love at first sight~

I'm thinking about pairing him up with Ino or Tenten later on in the fic, if you want. Whichever you prefer. :}

nextguardian on January 30, 2011, 12:02:47 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, that's perfectly understandable. It just honestly never occured to me that someone would crush on Yuji.

Cool! Either one; surprise me! I'm fine with either one of them ^^

YunieXTidus on January 30, 2011, 12:04:51 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, not everyone goes for the supermodel types. Some people prefer the average guys. Honestly, I have low self esteem, so I'm intimidated by -really- goodlooking guys. Besides, guys with average looks are often overlooked, so they welcome attention!

nextguardian on January 30, 2011, 12:11:33 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm the same way with girls. Although the supermodel thing a turnoff for me sometimes. I'd prefer someone I can relate to.

So, how's your fic coming?

YunieXTidus on January 30, 2011, 12:14:16 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusActually, I haven't started the next chapter yet. I've been so busy this weekend, I haven't really had time. When I have, I've experienced writer's block. I'm not sure what to do next. xD

nextguardian on January 30, 2011, 12:21:45 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHmm...my advice there is to do a one-shot fic that is completely unrelated to your story. It breaks the monotony of doing one fic, and gets your creative juices flowing. It really does work ^^

I can't remember if I've asked- are you a fan of Shakugan no Shana?

YunieXTidus on January 30, 2011, 12:23:24 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYou've mentioned it in passing, but no. Yeah, I only saw like, 3 episodes, but it was really good.

nextguardian on January 30, 2011, 12:32:28 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAh, okay. I've just been in a 'Shana' mood lately, for some reason. Probably because I'm so ticked they cancelled the US book series, and that the third season dvd set isn't out yet!

On the upside, I did just grab the Naruto Shippuden season 5 boxset^^

YunieXTidus on January 30, 2011, 12:33:28 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusniiice! Once my mom gives me my child support money i'm definitely grabbin' a couple of them!

nextguardian on January 30, 2011, 12:40:21 PM

nextguardianWhen you do, make sure you get the uncut versions. They are more true to the manga in that they aren't as 'dumbed down'.

I don't get that. They took out Asuma's cigarette in one version of the opening once. Like little kids have never seen someone they looked up to smoking before? Or when they took out Asuma's cigarette in the manga, but left the finger posture like he was holding a cigarette! How stupid!

YunieXTidus on January 30, 2011, 12:42:00 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTiduslol nice.

I watch Shippuden on Hulu, where it's uncut and in japanese with subtitles. I've picked up on bits and pieces of japanese that way.

nextguardian on January 30, 2011, 12:44:57 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI try. The only problem for me is that the female characters tend to stick out more, and my Japanese teachers are always female. So I tend to have a female inflection when I speak Japanese. lol, it was quite amusing the first time I realized it. I sounded darn cute, though! XD

Well, I've got to be going for tonight. Good talking to you!

YunieXTidus on January 30, 2011, 12:46:04 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus"I sounded darn cute though." I just lol'd.

Nice talking to you too!

YunieXTidusA cd I've been dying to have came in the mail today. I was sooooo excited.

nextguardian on January 30, 2011, 9:52:16 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianCool! I have the opposite problem. I've got a couple things ordered (including two books I've been dying to read), and they're late. Gah! It drives me nuts when I can't read something I want to read!

YunieXTidus on January 30, 2011, 9:57:35 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI know right? On the upside I've been getting my daily dose of kakashi and yamato! I love shippuden.

nextguardian on January 30, 2011, 10:00:32 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI definitely prefer Shippuden to 'early' Naruto. Sakura us much less annoying, and Sai cracks me up.

YunieXTidus on January 30, 2011, 10:02:36 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusSai is epic. But I'm loving where I'm at because I get yama and kaka in one sitting!

nextguardian on January 30, 2011, 10:04:41 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, must be similar to how I loved the rare episodes that had Sakura and Tenten in them.

I'm curious: Which filler arc did you hate the most?

YunieXTidus on January 30, 2011, 10:07:45 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI didn't really "hate" any of them. I did skip about 20 episodes near the end of part 1 though. I was just like "damn it I want story progression!!!"

nextguardian on January 30, 2011, 10:12:15 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianah, I see. For me, I really, really didnt' like the Hidden Star Village thing. It just seemed out of place for Naruto.

I will admit to lmaoing during the one episode where Ino takes the place of that princess meeting her husband to be for the first time. It was so stupid, but I was cracking up.

YunieXTidus on January 30, 2011, 10:14:34 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat was an amazing episode xD

And I didn't really feel for the whole star village thing one way or the other tbh. It dragged on though which was annoying. XD

nextguardian on January 30, 2011, 10:18:42 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt really did. I liked the 'Curry of Life' though. Anytime Lee uses the Drunken Fist is good. Plus, it was a rare time where Tenten didn't look weak!

I've just updated 'Serving Naruto and Sakura'.

YunieXTidus on January 30, 2011, 10:20:00 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI also loved that. Lee was just... lmao. And yaaaaaay!

nextguardian on January 30, 2011, 10:29:57 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI love the whole 'Powwweeerrrr of Yoooouuuuuttthhhh!' scream, and Raiga's got this wtf look on his face.

YunieXTidus on January 30, 2011, 10:33:53 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI know!! It's so funny. Lee is quite the character.

nextguardian on January 30, 2011, 10:34:54 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNo one can hate Lee. It's just impossible.

YunieXTidus on January 30, 2011, 10:36:32 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI have to admit, he's the reason I got addicted to naruto. First ep I ever saw was his story during the chunin exams. I bawled my eyes out.

nextguardian on January 30, 2011, 10:39:56 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI dismissed Naruto as a fantasy fighting series until I saw Lee fight in the Forest of Death. Then I was thinking "Whoa! Some of that stuff even I could do!"
And I was hooked.

YunieXTidus on January 30, 2011, 10:43:02 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusJust commented on your chapter! Another great one.

nextguardian on January 30, 2011, 10:45:43 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThank you!
I was never a SakuNaru fan, until Yuji's misery forced them together XD

YunieXTidus on January 30, 2011, 11:15:27 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThey do make a cute couple, in a "it's what he always wanted" sort of way. Poor Yuji though. Never gets a break.

nextguardian on January 30, 2011, 11:18:50 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt's easy to forget that Naruto's life has sucked, too. But I really liked the concept of yuji having to watch another guy live his dream.

YunieXTidus on January 30, 2011, 11:20:10 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD That's just sad. Poor Yuji. His creator is so cruel.

nextguardian on January 30, 2011, 11:31:40 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianMeh, I make it up to him in the romance one-shots, though!

YunieXTidus on January 30, 2011, 11:32:55 AM

nextguardian on January 28, 2011, 11:14:49 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianoh, really? I have a hard time with it sometimes, lol. What's really fun is that we discuss a little in advance, but for the most part we're just reacting to what the other writes.

YunieXTidus on January 28, 2011, 11:16:10 AM

YunieXTidusYeah, I love seeing how you guys play off each other. So how's things with you?

nextguardianNot too bad. Got an early morning tomorrow. Yuck. But not bad besides that.
How about you?

YunieXTidus on January 28, 2011, 11:20:43 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusEarly mornings on Saturdays? There's got to be some sort of law against that.

Just played some more FF12, now I'm typing up chapter 21. Tomorrow, I'm going to see a movie with a friend. Other than that, I'll probably be sleeping or watching Naruto.

nextguardian on January 28, 2011, 11:24:19 AM

nextguardianIt's voluntary. --' Not sure how, though.

I've got work later on, but besides that I'll be working on my 'Serving' fic.

YunieXTidusThanks! It killed me to write it though.

(Lol at your jealousy of Kakashi)

nextguardian on January 28, 2011, 11:43:25 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI hear you. I swear, I feel sympathetic toward the characters. That's why I haven't done a love triangle with Yuji yet. How do I pick one girl for him? Unless I don't like one of them to begin with.
It's probably silly, but I honestly have a hard time with that.

YunieXTidus on January 28, 2011, 11:44:25 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNo, it's totally understandable. Love triangles suck. For everyone involved.

nextguardian on January 28, 2011, 11:46:25 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThey really do. There's no real winners or losers, unless one girl (or guy) really hates the other.

Well, I've got to go -_-' I must be nuts, getting up early on a weekend. Have a good night!

nextguardianNo, not yet. At least ten-twelve more chapters to it, at a guess. But I'm already working on the one that will follow it. That's the one that Hisako will be in. The two fics are unrelated, and they're going to overlap. They're polar opposites. The new fic will be less dark and mature than 'Serving'.

YunieXTidus on January 27, 2011, 1:22:29 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm still really impressed with 'Serving.' I'll probably go back and reread it when you're finished, and once I've caught up on Shippuden and your co-op fic.

nextguardian on January 27, 2011, 1:26:40 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm glad you like it! It's so totally different from the original concept I had in mind! But it's more fun if I'm surprised, even as I write it ^^

YunieXTidus on January 27, 2011, 1:28:18 PM

YunieXTidusTrue, true. I'm not even sure how my fic will play out.

nextguardianHalf the time, I write a chapter, keep going, then go back and realize that I don't remember writing this part at all. It's weird -_-'

YunieXTidusHaha I haven't encountered that problem yet. I wish I could just sit around and write all day, but stupid school won't allow that. :(

nextguardian on January 27, 2011, 1:42:30 PM

nextguardianI daydream most of my stuff, then write down ideas, then go nuts for an hour or two getting it all typed. I'm constantly thinking, but spend less time than I'd like actually writing.

YunieXTidus on January 27, 2011, 1:43:54 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat's pretty much how it is with me. I wish I could just take the idea in my head and put it straight on youtube. That's so much simpler.

Not much on my end. Working on a few fics. "Serving", the new one that will have Hisako in it eventually, and I'm working ahead on the co-op fic.
What's up for you tonight?

YunieXTidus on January 27, 2011, 11:41:45 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNot much. Just played some FF12, now I'm headed to type up and finish chapter 20. I keep thinking, "hey, I'll draw some today," but my mom's always like, "go play video games while I do my work. it's bonding time!" xD I have the weirdest mom ever.

nextguardian on January 27, 2011, 11:49:51 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, that's pretty cool.

I really need to get around to posting that sketch I did.
Does drawing relax you? It tends to infuriate me.

and for the record, I'm still laughing over the yogurt thing.

YunieXTidus on January 27, 2011, 11:55:47 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYeah, I'm pretty lucky. She's awesome.

It does sometimes, but when i'm doing something kind of challenging, it frustrates me. I have to be in a pretty good mood to take on a more challenging one. Otherwise I just go for something simple.

And I'm glad it amused you. I've actually had something similar happen to me, although not to that extent. It was really awkward.

nextguardian on January 27, 2011, 11:58:07 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm surprised I have any pencils left. I'm pretty easy going normally, but art brings out the worst in me. I have a bad habit of breaking whatever I'm drawing with (one reason I don't have a tablet, lol)

Oh, really? Maybe it's one of those things you'll look back on and laugh.

YunieXTidus on January 27, 2011, 11:59:58 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh, I think it's hilarious now, but at the time I couldn't have been more awkwarded out.

And I seem to have lost every pencil I've ever owned. I had to steal one from my friend just to finish the chapter. It's a skill I have, losing things.

nextguardian on January 27, 2011, 12:04:28 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI hear you there. I think we all have those moments.

I can never find what I'm looking for until I stop looking for it. Which would be a minor inconvenience, save for important stuff like homework and tax documents, lol.

YunieXTidus on January 27, 2011, 12:06:10 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI do that with homework ALLLLL the time.

nextguardian on January 27, 2011, 12:11:59 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt really sucks when that happens, doesn't it?

Out of curiosity, what do you think about Yuji and Tenten as a couple?

YunieXTidus on January 27, 2011, 12:14:17 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHmm... I kinda like it. She's cute, and he's into weapons (which she's proficient in). She's commanding, but not controlling. Not Tsundere as far as I can tell. xD

But, she's also smitten with Lee. How you gonna do that one? ;P

nextguardian on January 27, 2011, 12:20:30 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat's true. Maybe 'into weapons' is a short step away from sadist for kunoichi? lol. She's also got a good mix of 'mature' and 'cute' in her personality.

Ah, see, I always figured she had a one-sided affection with Neji. The one-sided deal justified it in my mind.

YunieXTidus on January 27, 2011, 12:21:48 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh. I guess I just imagined her crush on Lee.

Chapter 20 will be up within the next 5-10 minutes or so!

nextguardian on January 27, 2011, 12:23:55 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, I don't think you're wrong. I just read into her actions differently than you did. She's kind of motherly toward her whole team, including Guy, whose emotional maturity may be lower than Naruto's. Pre-shippuden, of course.

Can't wait!

YunieXTidus on January 27, 2011, 12:28:35 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNow THERE's an interesting idea. TentenXGuy. No, just kidding. That's too weird, even for me.

Just put it up! It's not really much of a thriller, this chapter. I'll make up for it next chapter. xD

nextguardian on January 27, 2011, 12:33:38 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardian00' No, thank you. I like Tenten too much to do that to her XD I really do want to pair her and Yuji together now, for some reason. I'm just picturing him rushing to her side after her right with Temari at the chunin exams. Lee has to stay to fight, so Yuji goes with her to the hospital and...etc.
If you ever decide to take fic RQ's, let me know. Or fic trades, if such a thing exists.

Awesome! I'm off to read it.

Quick question: Are you a fan of the Higurashi series at all?

YunieXTidus on January 27, 2011, 12:35:23 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusActually, I'm unfamiliar with it. The only thing I know of that relates to "Higurashi" is that it's Kagome's last name from Inuyasha.

nextguardian on January 27, 2011, 12:38:24 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, here then:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKV195eXg7I&feature=PlayList&p=474CAA7DCDF9DB32&playnext=1&playnex...

It's the theme to season one, with a bunch of cool clips to it. If you get a chance, I highly, highly recommend checking out the real opening.

Just commented on your fic, btw.

YunieXTidus on January 27, 2011, 12:43:07 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThanks, I'll be sure to check it out. And I 'preciate the comment on my fic! And yes, well, Tenzo isn't thirty, either. So he's got a -little- room to criticize. xD

nextguardian on January 27, 2011, 12:50:31 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, good point. He is a little closer in age to the others.

Okay, random question: who would you pair Anko with?

YunieXTidus on January 27, 2011, 12:52:07 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAnko...? Hmm. I dunno. If I wanted a little bit of weirdness, I'd say AnkoXKabuto. But I don't know. Maybe Genma? They seem to have similar personalities.

btw:

I never really mention Hisako's age, but she's 19. I'll put a little more about her experience with the chuunin exams in one of the next chapters, but my main thing is that she backed out during the first part of the test because she didn't want to leave Sakura behind as a gennin and move on to be a chuunin.

nextguardian on January 27, 2011, 12:59:33 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI thought about Genma, too. Or maybe Raido. I was always pro HayateXYuugao, but I know he got paired with Anko alot.

Ah, okay, that's good to know before I get to her in my new fic. That's a true friend right there, too.

YunieXTidus on January 27, 2011, 1:01:18 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI thought about Hayate, but I felt bad, after reading your fic where he was with Yuugao before he died. I was so sad that he died!

And yeah, Hisako's nothing if not loyal.

nextguardian on January 27, 2011, 1:06:50 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHayate died too soon. I keep toying with the idea of pairing Yuugao with Yuji seriously, since he was partially based off Hayate.

It's a good trait to have, in fics or real life ^^

I keep changing Yuji's age. I like to have him be a year or so older than the main group, making him in Neji's graduating class at the academy. But after Shippuden, I prefer him to be in his twenties, so he has like one and a half birthdays a year to make it fit, lol. Now I just stop mentioning age altogether and say that he's older.

YunieXTidus on January 27, 2011, 1:08:45 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI like the 'older' thing. ^^ But actually, I never really noticed that! :P

YunieXTidusHaha thanks! On the one hand, it's hilarious cause kakashi is going nuts. Om the other hand, it's totally not cause one of these days he'll just snap and have his way with her.

nextguardian on January 26, 2011, 1:33:21 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, the yogurt thing, though! That did me in. Very vivid imagery there. I can just picture Kakashi losing it. For some reason, it made me think of his sink leaking, and a drop being a constant sound in the background. If it were an anime, I could just picture the camera going to Sakura's mouth, then to Kakashi, and each time it went back to Kakashi it would get closer to his eye.

YunieXTidus on January 26, 2011, 1:35:16 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol yeah. Dead silence except for the annoying tap of the leaky faucet. It was pretty fun to write, tbh.

nextguardian on January 26, 2011, 1:41:52 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI can imagine! I really had a good time reading it, too.

It was cool that you mentioned 'kunoichi grace'. It kind of denotes that there is a different skill set for females vs males, which usually goes unnoticed.

YunieXTidus on January 26, 2011, 1:44:19 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, women in general are more flexible and graceful than men, so to me it only made sense that a kunoichi would have those traits amplified. You know?

nextguardian on January 26, 2011, 1:47:25 PM

nextguardianI agree. I really liked the way you outlined it.

I had an idea that I might use in the future, but you're welcome to use now, if you're ever pressed for ideas. It's basically special kunoichi training with a male guniea pig. The kunoichi need to extract information from the male subject using any means at their disposal, be it weapons or their own body.

YunieXTidus on January 27, 2011, 7:00:24 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYeah, I think you used that in one of your YuSaku one-shots. Also, that was kind of the beginning of the loooong KakaSaku fic I linked you. Oh, btw, how far did you get on it?

YunieXTidus on January 24, 2011, 11:23:53 AM

YunieXTidus on January 24, 2011, 12:19:41 PM

YunieXTidusI WAS, but then I just kind of forgot about it for a couple years...

nextguardian on January 24, 2011, 1:23:44 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat happens a lot. But I wound up making a few friends. Every time one leaves, at least one new one shows up, so it's forced me to stick around.

YunieXTidus on January 24, 2011, 4:08:19 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidus"forced." makes it sound like they held you at gunpoint! xD

I think I'll be sticking around for a long while, really. So much writing and drawing to do!

YunieXTidusNo, no, thank you! I'm glad you've taken such a liking to hisako.

nextguardian on January 24, 2011, 3:30:19 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianShe's easy to like.

YunieXTidus on January 24, 2011, 4:08:37 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIno doesn't think so. Lol

nextguardian on January 24, 2011, 6:18:16 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, true. But I think Ino's really the problem. Although, I admit, she grew on me after a while.

YunieXTidus on January 24, 2011, 6:38:16 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusShe matures (slightly) as the series progresses, I'll have to agree.

nextguardian on January 24, 2011, 10:50:07 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt was cool, pairing Yuji with a party girl for a change, I've gotta admit ^^

YunieXTidus on January 24, 2011, 10:52:07 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI bet! He'd probably die of mortification if he knew what SHE did on HER weekends. xD

I'm working on chapter 19 right now. I should have it up by 11 at the very latest. I'm focusing on KakaSaku in this chapter, and the next one will be more YamaHisa. <3

xD I'm addicted to Yamato now.

nextguardian on January 24, 2011, 11:03:47 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, if he knew, he probably wouldn't touch her, being a hypochondriac and all.

Cool! Can't wait for more!

Meh, I'm addicted to Sakura, so I can't talk, lol.

YunieXTidus on January 24, 2011, 11:05:03 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusTrue 'nuff. It's better he found out one step at a time.

And I'm having way too much fun with this.

Wait, what? Since when? I totally hadn't picked up on that!

nextguardian on January 24, 2011, 11:07:31 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYeah, he'll find out eventually. Probably kind of like "Hey, why are you so good at this...oh yeah -_-'"

I don't know. Maybe fifty fics involving her doesn't qualify as obsession XD I'm less obsessed than I was, though. But it comes and goes, lol.

YunieXTidus on January 24, 2011, 11:09:00 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol poor Yuji's in for a shock.

And that's totally normal. Well, mostly. I can't really talk. xD

YunieXTidus on January 23, 2011, 12:08:28 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYay! "Almost done" as in... today? or tomorrow? or tuesday? :D

nextguardian on January 23, 2011, 12:18:02 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianToday, hopefully.

I admit, I threw in some Yuji filler material, because I don't enough about Hisako yet to do a fic centered on he rand Yamato. I think you'll find it amusing, though. The focus stays on KakaSakuYamaHisa as much as possible :)

YunieXTidus on January 23, 2011, 12:18:58 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusDon't worry! I love Yuji filler. And as the story progresses you'll find out more about her. I can't wait. ^^

nextguardian on January 23, 2011, 12:26:17 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'll do another fic about her later on when I know more. I think I got her personality down so far. I hope, anyway. Just a few more minutes and it'll be up.

YunieXTidus on January 23, 2011, 12:26:49 PM

nextguardian on January 23, 2011, 12:54:18 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt's up! It's under the "Naruto Couples 2" category. Enjoy!

Again, I'm sorry that I couldn't focus more on Hisako. But I think you'll still enjoy it ^^

YunieXTidus on January 23, 2011, 12:57:29 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIt's okay. I'm giggling my @$$ off. xD Love it so far!

nextguardian on January 23, 2011, 12:59:02 PM

nextguardianGlad to hear it :)

Crack pairing YuIno! Yee-hah!

YunieXTidus on January 23, 2011, 1:00:50 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol that IS pretty funny. You've definitely got Hisako's personality down, too. I'm loving the Yamato stuff.

nextguardian on January 23, 2011, 1:02:43 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm so glad about that. I always worry about that when working with someone else's OC, especially when they're only 18 chapters old (to me, anyway) XD

btw, writing all this lovey-dovey stuff made me watch one of the best romance vids on YouTube. Stop me if you've seen this one, but:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8FdKXb0drA

I pass that along to just about everyone. It's so expertly done, even though I'm not really FY fan.

YunieXTidus on January 23, 2011, 1:23:04 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIt's a nice music vid. I just finished your pairing. So cuuuuuuuute! I love it. I said more in the comment, but I love it I love it I love it!

nextguardian on January 23, 2011, 1:26:39 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThanks! I'm really glad you enjoy it! YuIno was surprisingly fun. And Hisako and Yamato did fit together nicely. I was having a hard time with KakaSaku, though.

Oh well. Just glad you enjoyed it ^^

That poem at the end was so lame XD

YunieXTidus on January 23, 2011, 1:27:53 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNaw, I thought it was cute! And you're right, Hisako and Yamato have a great vibe as a couple, don't they?

nextguardian on January 23, 2011, 1:30:19 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWell, if it worked for you, then that's good. I don't write poetry, and right there is a good reason why!

I think it's their personalities. They mesh, somehow.

My favorite part (besides Yuji and Ino. I couldn't wait to unveil that surprise!) was the part where Yuji is scared of Hisako. I thought about your 'tsundere path' comment, and that inspired it.

YunieXTidus on January 23, 2011, 1:31:48 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHaha, I thought that was great! I loved it, I really did. The end was my favorite though. <3

nextguardian on January 23, 2011, 1:33:42 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI thought you might get a kick out of that. I had to really think about the end. I wanted to go the 'sweet' route, instead of the 'sultry' route. But I couldn't decide how to do that. Not sure how a piggyback ride is romantic, but it made sense at the time, lol.

nextguardianHere's hoping ^^' I like it personally, because it's got rare moments for Yuji and Azami in it. But, you be the judge :) You should have it now.

Oh! I should have the 'final' version of that pic I told you about up tomorrow. I say 'final' because I finally quit messing with it. I just could not get faces to work right. I'm more interested in the costumes and whatnot anyway. So, after some last details and editing, it'll be 'done'.

YunieXTidus on January 22, 2011, 12:38:23 PM

YunieXTidusYep, I got it now. And that's great! I can't wait to see it.

You know, it's ironic, but you re-sold me on the Naruto series. I'm watching/reading through it again, no joke!

YunieXTidus on January 22, 2011, 12:41:32 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD That's what I should be saying to YOU. But right now I'm finishing up reading what could be the BEST KakaSaku fic ever written. there's 19 chapters in all and they're much lengthier than mine. But totally amazing.

nextguardian on January 22, 2011, 12:47:51 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNice! did you find it on fanfiction.net, or somewhere else?

I've got a decent amount done on the KakaSakuYamaHisa fic. I changed my original beginning, but I think the new one is even more fun.

YunieXTidus on January 22, 2011, 12:49:12 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLivejournal, actually. I'll link you the first chapter. You'll have to do some digging to find all the chapters, so I'll link you the postings list, too.

And that title... It sounds like some sort of groupie. xD

nextguardian on January 22, 2011, 12:51:08 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAh, cool, thanks! I had found a good SakuIta fic on ff.net a while back. That pairing has quite a cult following!

You're right, it does. I haven't decided what I'll really name it yet, so I'm just kind of going by it's description. lol.

YunieXTidus on January 22, 2011, 12:52:04 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHaha okay. But seriously, I think I'm in love with this fic.

nextguardian on January 22, 2011, 12:59:00 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt's that good? Awesome find, then! It's easy to be impressed by a pic, but fics are more difficult (for me, anyway) to get excited about. Not sure why that is, though.

YunieXTidus on January 22, 2011, 1:02:24 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh, it's better. I have to say, it makes me feel ashamed about my own fic. xD

This is the first chapter:

http://silvershiner.livejournal.com/900.html#cutid1

And THIS is the list of the rest of them:

http://silvershiner.livejournal.com/?skip=60

You have to click "next 10" to see more of the list. It's interspersed sometimes, so you just have to keep an eye out. It's entirely KakaSaku material- well, there's one KakaYama one that actually didn't even seem out of character.

Enjoy!

nextguardian on January 22, 2011, 1:07:06 PM

nextguardianlol! I know, really. But that's okay. Devour everything Naruto. I did, too. Still do.

Oh, I wanted to ask you. About the dark chapter I told you about. Do you think an attempted rape on Azami is too dark? I mean, it's Naruto, so it's not going to happen. But I've never posted something quite this dark and violent, so I'm a little concerned. What do you think? The violent content is pretty gorey, but it fits the story. I'm going back and forth on posting it.

YunieXTidus on January 21, 2011, 11:35:24 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, when we're also dealing with creeps like Orochimaru, Kabuto, and the members of the Akatsuki, I'd have to say, no, not 'too dark.' I mean, it's hella dark, but it happens in real life.

nextguardian on January 21, 2011, 11:37:19 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianGood point. I guess it would be okay, as long as I stuck an appropriate rating on it, and a warning.

I don't know. One person told me I'm like Disney on FAC, lol. My stuff is never offensive. If you're not offended by the content, then I'll probably post it.

YunieXTidus on January 21, 2011, 11:38:50 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI've actually been debating on whether or not to turn my fic a little more... lemoney. My friend at school is begging me to. xD I'm like, "I want to, really, I want to!"

I'm just not sure.

But no way, I'm not offended.

Actually, I'm reading a KakaSaku lemon right now.

nextguardian on January 21, 2011, 11:43:09 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, cool. Then I'll be posting it soon.

You should go for it! Or, if you don't want to do that to this fic, do romance one-shots like do. (Shrugs)

YunieXTidus on January 21, 2011, 11:44:35 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAwesome, can't wait!

And I probably will at some point. Poor Kakashi... I have to torture him as much as possible first.

nextguardian on January 21, 2011, 11:53:01 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI just re-read that fic. Wow. The violent content it off the charts. I'm only going to post part of it. Would you like to hear about the parts I'm leaving out? I think you'd be oka with them. But some people would just go nuts on me. It's not stuff I can believe I wrote. And this is violence we're talking! Not even sexual content.

Lol, am I rubbing off on you? Except you're torturing someone else besides your OC XD
Jk. I like your fic. It feels realistic somehow. It makes sense.

YunieXTidus on January 21, 2011, 10:12:14 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThanks for the comment! I'm trying to steer Hisako away from the tsundere path, but I don't want to leave her helpless, by any means. I think the quiet wrath is sometimes scarier.

And awesome! Can't wait to see it!

nextguardian on January 21, 2011, 10:16:27 AM

YunieXTidus on January 21, 2011, 10:36:20 AM

YunieXTidusI always picture her as a non-feline version of Yurouichi from Bleach. With her hair down.

nextguardian on January 21, 2011, 10:39:08 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianShe is kind of like that, actually. Same sort of personality as her. I'll have to get a description up and beg people to draw her, lol.

YunieXTidus on January 21, 2011, 10:39:57 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI may get around to it eventually! ^^

nextguardian on January 21, 2011, 10:49:06 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI always feel guilty describing her. She's supposed to be this sexy, sultry bounty hunter character. Like the antithesis of Sakura. Sakura is cute, friendly, approachable, etc. Azami worldy, sexy, and dangerous.

Maybe, with your permission, I could do a YamaHisa and KakaSaku fic.

YunieXTidus on January 21, 2011, 10:49:58 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusGranted! Granted, granted, granted! xD Those are now my two fave pairings of ALL time.

nextguardian on January 21, 2011, 10:51:07 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYay :) I think I can do that soon, actually. I've been tossing the idea around since you mentioned Yamato and Hisako, actually.

YunieXTidus on January 21, 2011, 10:51:54 AM

YunieXTidus:DDDD

They just fit, don't they? Like peanut butter and jelly.

nextguardian on January 21, 2011, 10:56:20 AM

YunieXTidus on January 21, 2011, 11:05:02 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusx) Hisako tends to do that. Well, Hisako, Yamato, Kakashi, and Sakura tend to do that. xD

nextguardian on January 21, 2011, 11:07:40 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat they do. My thought now is: How can I torture Yuji? lol.

YunieXTidus on January 21, 2011, 11:09:15 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusPoor Yuji! Hook him up with Tenten or Temari. xD Temari would be interesting to see. She's kind of sadistic, and Yuji's clearly a masochist.

nextguardian on January 21, 2011, 11:15:58 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI keep trying that, but TemaShika gets in my way. I just can't have him with another guy's girl. And INo is obnoxious. Plus you've got TenNeji...
Him and Hinata. Now THERe is a pair. They wouldn't even get to holding hands until 6 months later!

YunieXTidus on January 21, 2011, 11:16:50 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol so true. She'd faint if he even came within two feet of her. xD

nextguardian on January 21, 2011, 11:22:43 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNot that Yuji would dare come within 2 feet of her. She's still a 'scary girl', after all! XD

You actually gave me a good idea, with that masochist comment. You'll see it in the YamaHisaKakaSakuYusomeone fic. 00' Maybe a different title.

YunieXTidus on January 21, 2011, 11:25:25 AM

nextguardianYou're right. But seriously, this would look awesome done by someone else! I can see it photoshopped (I can't do as much as I'd like) and whatnot. But oh well. Hopefully, my sketch will do ^^

Having fun with your OC? They're a ball, aren't they?

YunieXTidus on January 20, 2011, 11:55:36 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm totally terrible at photoshop. :( But I'd be happy to give the drawing a go for you, if you want!

And YES! I love this. I'm so glad I gave in and decided to go with it. Oh, by the way, Episode 35 of Shippuden... Yamato's strange reactions, and Sakura's initial reaction to Yamato- totally explained my my possible pairing. xD

Like when Yamato met with Tsunade and Shizune outside the hospital.

He coughed and smiled awkwardly, "sorry i'm late, i was... held up." <--- by (GUESS WHO) xD

Sakura's initial reaction was -

"Oh, wait, are you...?"

He cuts her off and says, "I'm Yamato, captian filling in for kakashi."

"Captain...Yamato...?"

(Totally explained by YamaHisa!)

nextguardian on January 20, 2011, 11:59:07 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWell, if my sketch works out, sure, go for it^^ I'd be honored if you did.

Well, then, Yamato must die! Making Sakura unfaithful to Yu- er, Kakashi! Yeah, 'cause I'm with you there! XD

YunieXTidus on January 20, 2011, 12:00:19 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD Nice one.

I had originally intended to try to pair Hisako with Yuji, cause he never gets no love.

But then I decided that'd be kinda awkward... And I had just gotten to the intro episode of Yamato. Infatuation set in!~

nextguardian on January 20, 2011, 12:03:01 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThanks, lol.

Oh, that was nice of you to consider. In the future, you can pair Yuji up with any girl you want. I won't take it personally/be offended/et all. I'm a fan of HisaYama, though, I need to admit. I can't say why, because it might be a spoiler, but I've got a good reason.

YunieXTidus on January 20, 2011, 12:18:14 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, once I watch more Shippuden, I'll have to have you tell me. xD

I'm on episode 48 now. I had to stop watching for a couple days cause the power went out. My mom forgot to pay the electric bill.

nextguardian on January 20, 2011, 12:40:42 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianSounds good :)

And that certainly sucks! We lost power here, too, but I'm not sure why. It was a brief, two-second deal, thankfully.

nextguardian on January 20, 2011, 12:41:43 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm reading the new chapter now. ALthough it looks like you posted it as a new fic entirely.

YunieXTidus on January 20, 2011, 12:50:03 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, crap. Sometimes I click too fast, and it does that. I don't know why. Okay, fixing it now.

YunieXTidus on January 20, 2011, 12:52:51 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusFixed it. You can re-comment on this chapter instead! xD Jeez.

nextguardian on January 20, 2011, 3:03:27 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWill do :) I do that, too. Or I forget to fix my bbcode, so the whole chapter winds up bold or italics.

YunieXTidus on January 20, 2011, 3:05:14 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI've done that before. Right now I'm reading a Kotetsu/Sakura, Izumo/Sakura lemon. It's eh... pretty interesting. xD

nextguardian on January 20, 2011, 3:11:33 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, you know, I might have actually read that one at one point. It sounds familiar. I pity those two guys. They get less female attention than Yuji, and they get beat up almost as much.

WEll, that sketch I told you about...it's interesting, too. Sakura wound up looking like a mix of goth, punk, and Egyptian -_-' Naruto looks cool, though that's because it's not my design. I haven't attempted Yuji yet, but his pose is hard, and he's suppose to be shirtless, and considering I suck at drawing anatomy of any kind...
But the idea is still cool! lol.

YunieXTidus on January 20, 2011, 3:13:06 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIt was pretty intense. And I can't wait to see it!

NOW I'm trying out an Asuma/Ino one. It's my first fic of that pairing, believe it or not. There's too much stuff on the internet. You never run out of stuff to do.

nextguardian on January 20, 2011, 3:16:14 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI found a good model for the bodies, so the proportions are more or less correct. Except Sakura's breasts, actually. The poor girl, she gets mutilated in her normal appearances AND fanart, not to mention she's the butt of jokes in fanfics!

Oh, that sounds cool! I could kind of see that, in a way.

YunieXTidus on January 20, 2011, 3:18:11 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusPoor Sakura. It's cause she uses all those food pills. ;P She'll get boobs eventually... Maybe.


http://nushi-akubi.livejournal.com/12138.html

That's the link for the asuma/ino one. I really like the writing style.

nextguardian on January 20, 2011, 3:24:57 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianPoor girl. She takes so much abuse! XD I really hope she gets a nice guy when all is said and done.

That is pretty well done.

If this sketch works, then maybe Azami will be next. I feel bad that I don't have any work of her up yet.

I've got to be going for now. Have a good night!

YunieXTidus on January 20, 2011, 3:25:33 PM

andr28aSince your abour half-way through me and NG's Co-op fic, I just thought I'd ask; What are your thoughts about it. Clearly you like it. What you think of the OC's and the direction on the story?

YunieXTidus on January 16, 2011, 2:46:10 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYes, I definitely like it. I think ryouko is heading down a dark path. Ryofu is interesting, to say the least. His skills are impressive. I'm looking forward to learning more about him.

andr28a on January 16, 2011, 2:49:56 AM

andr28a on
andr28aYou don't learn alot about Ryofu, only hints. You start to see more of his past in the later chapters. Oh and another OC joins the crew (My newest one)
Do I make it look like Ryofu is like a GOD character? I want to show that he is strong but not god like. He does have plenty of weakneses, just have to pay attention to find them.

YunieXTidus on January 16, 2011, 3:02:55 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNo, no, I don't think so. It's possible to be strong without being a god character.

nextguardian on January 15, 2011, 10:28:16 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianCongrats! Naruto really is at his best in Shippuden imho.

Looking forward to more about Hisako, too :)

YunieXTidus on January 15, 2011, 11:43:34 AM

YunieXTidusThanks! How are you today?

nextguardian on January 13, 2011, 11:53:14 AM

nextguardianThat's a good definition of Kakashi, lol! Dead-on, too!

YunieXTidus on January 13, 2011, 12:36:36 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIsn't it though? And I've uploaded a drawing of my OC, so I'll let you know once it's on the site. And I'm finishing up chapter 12 now, so that's coming soon, too! ^^

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHi!

nextguardian on January 12, 2011, 1:21:39 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNow, be honest with yourself. You've NEVER had the urge to murder your entire family? Isn't it normal to feel that...
...
XD I couldn't even type that with a straight face. Still, as far as pyscho's go, he's pretty cool.

lol, that's a good one! I started grabbing one of my buddies, who is kind of like a little brother, and telling him "You're still too weak...and you know something? You always will be!"

YunieXTidus on January 12, 2011, 1:23:52 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAnd I only recall having that urge once or twice... But not for the whole 'clan!'

xD Poor Sasuke-friend!

nextguardian on January 12, 2011, 1:27:59 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, I hate one entire side of my family. Well, actually, that's not true. I can tolerate them, but they don't like me. I don't hunt, fish, or want to join the army, plus I enjoy martial arts and a lot of Japanese stuff. So I don't really fit in. And no, I've never had the 'Itachi Urge', as I've termed it. XD

Nah, he has it coming XD

YunieXTidus on January 12, 2011, 1:29:46 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD 'Itachi Urge.' I like that. It sounds like some disorder.

And that makes me go, "Poor Sasuke-friend!" even more!

nextguardian on January 12, 2011, 1:33:08 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNow I just need to make up a cool scientific name for it. Maybe: Itachisuzumpanailcolitis.

He sneak attacks me, and sets me up. My Grandma is hard of hearing, so he'll go running to her and say 'Well, Yuji did this or that'. And then I'll get yelled at! I can't believe she buys his line of crap! It's funny, but I still wanna wring his neck XDq

nextguardian on January 12, 2011, 1:34:37 PM

nextguardianWell, I've got to be going. Good chatting with you :)

YunieXTidus on January 12, 2011, 1:36:04 PM

nextguardian on January 12, 2011, 10:42:39 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAnd I loved the Sakura Style Sexy Jutsu. Kakashi's reaction was great! I got a kick out of Sasuke's reaction, too, actually, but I could picture Kakashi's mask blocking the bloody nose and everything.

YunieXTidus on January 12, 2011, 10:45:30 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHaha, thanks. Everyone knows Sasuke-fangirls piss him off. Everyone knows Sakura likes Sasuke. Everyone knows that Sakura pisses him off sometimes. Add all that and that = superwin. Plus Kakashi's a deep-down closet-perv.

nextguardian on January 12, 2011, 10:48:51 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI don't know. Kakashi is a pretty blatant perv sometimes, lol. But you've got the right elements there to trigger a fun chapter ^^

YunieXTidus on January 12, 2011, 10:50:00 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat's true... Yeah, I'm looking forward to introducing Hisako!

nextguardian on January 12, 2011, 10:59:34 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm looking forward to that, too. I really think she'll be a fun OC ^^

YunieXTidus on January 12, 2011, 11:01:04 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThanks! How's 'Serving Naruto and Sakura' coming? I'm loving that story btw.

And I've gotten to chapter 53 of your co-op fic. Fighting Itachi. It's so good!

nextguardian on January 12, 2011, 11:04:43 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt's coming good. I'm planning to update tomorrow, actually. Although I might update tonight. I'm glad you're enjoying it ^^

Man, you're really whipping through that fic! So, what do you think- does Kimihiro have every right to be angry with ryofu? Or is he just being a jerk?

nextguardian on January 12, 2011, 11:05:29 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, and what did you think about YuugaoXKimihiro?

nextguardian on January 12, 2011, 11:11:23 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAnd PS: "Serving Naruto and Sakura" has been updated. Enjoy :)

YunieXTidus on January 12, 2011, 11:13:46 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI think he has every right to be angry, but at some point, you gotta let go. And YuugaoXRyouko was very interesting. They seemed to make a nice couple. Kind of a dynamic duo. And i'm headed to read it right now!

I've always been a fast reader, especially when I really like what I'm reading. <3 your stories!

nextguardian on January 12, 2011, 11:18:00 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianyeah, but Ryofu hurt sakura! Doesn't that just make your blood boil? XD That's Kimi's thinking, anyway. Yuugao and Kimi are fun. I really think they complimented each other. Plus, it was cool to pair Yuji with the older woman for a change.

Thanks! I'm really into yours, too!

YunieXTidus on January 12, 2011, 12:28:11 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHaha sure it does, but the past is the past, and he's a comrade after all!

Honestly, I love the whole ANBU thing. It adds another layer of mystery to Yuji. Oh- question! What made you decide on the names you did for your character(s), and how come you keep changing Yuji's?

And I just can't wait to get to work on ch 12 tomorrow! I can't tonight cause I'm about to go to bed, but I'm really looking forward to it.

nextguardian on January 12, 2011, 12:31:35 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianTrue enough :)

Oh, sure. Well, Ryouko is actually a girl's name, so that didn't really fit Yuji. Then I used Kimihiro, but that name is (a) really long to type and (b) also has kind of a soft connotation to it. I've always liked the name Yuji, and it's short and simple, so there we are.

I'm also looking really forward to it :)

YunieXTidus on January 12, 2011, 12:33:31 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, I guess that makes sense. You've got to get somebody to call him 'Yu-chan' at some point. I think that would be hilarious.

nextguardian on January 12, 2011, 12:47:26 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm going to for sure. Oh, one other reason: Someone started calling me 'Yuji' in rl, so it just stuck in my head. I don't know if he meant Yuji Sakai (Shakugan no Shana), who I supposedly resemble a little, or Yuji from Bamboo Blade, or Yuji Naka because I like video games, but there you go.

YunieXTidus on January 12, 2011, 12:48:05 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHaha that's cute.

nextguardian on January 12, 2011, 12:54:48 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI like it. I've been called far worse, so I'll take it! lol

YunieXTidus on January 12, 2011, 12:55:46 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD I'm not sure I want to know. But yeah, I like the name "Yuji."

nextguardian on January 12, 2011, 1:02:05 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianWEll, it's a cool enough name, anyway^^ It's cool to have a decent nickname like that.

Oh, btw- I'm almost done with a new SakXYu fic. I'm hoping it'll be up tomorrow.

YunieXTidus on January 12, 2011, 1:03:19 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYay, yay! Can't wait to see it! I'll probably start a new kakasaku pic tomorrow once my first chapter's done. i'll also do a pic of my oc!

nextguardian on January 12, 2011, 1:06:33 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYou've really sold me on the Kaku/Saku pairing :) Not an easy sell, believe me! But now I'm all for it. Although I do also like ItaSaku to some degree.

YunieXTidus on January 12, 2011, 1:07:58 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusItaSaku...? X_X My brain just shriveled up and died. I can't even... ack.

nextguardian on January 12, 2011, 1:16:48 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAw, c'mon it's not THAT far out there...is it? lol. It's hard to like Itachi at that point in Naruto, but he grows on you. And even psychos need love!

YunieXTidus on January 12, 2011, 1:17:56 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHaha. Not psychos like HIM. He was cool and all... before he murdered EVERYONE in his whole family! ;P

T_T I picked up a mannerism from him... I've started poking my friends in the forehead.

andr28aAt the rate your going, you'll be up to speed in no time.
Recently I find a strange irony reading your KakaSaku fic. Without me knowing (Until someone mentioned it to me recently) I've been talking alot about a girl who works with me on the weekends. It was only when my work mates told me that I was doing this, that I thought "Crap don't tell me I actually like this girl." I think I feel the same way Kakashi feels in your fanfic. Thanks to my work mates putting 'ideas' in my head, I think I may be falling for a girl five years my junior She still in school and everything... Urgh no fun... no fun at all -_-'''

YunieXTidus on January 12, 2011, 9:22:47 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat is ironic. Well, I hope everything works out for you! And in case you didn't notice, I'm reading more of your guys' fic. I'm loving it!

andr28a on January 12, 2011, 9:30:14 AM

andr28a on
andr28aI just hope I'm not actually falling for this girl. If I am... I'll never hear the end of it from my work mates. I get enough flak from them already.

YunieXTidus on January 12, 2011, 9:31:04 AM

YunieXTidus on January 11, 2011, 1:42:42 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat made my day. :) That's what I strive for when I'm writing. If I can't hear the character say it, then I don't put it in the story. I can't wait to get home tomorrow after exams! Poor Kakashi. It gets worse before it gets better.

nextguardianGood for you. Confidence is a good thing when it comes to beasts like exams.

That's good thinking for Sakura. I could definitely picture Sakura thinking that way. Maybe she borrowed it from that closet-perv, Ebisu, lol.

Yes indeed. Cold showers for Kakashi. Unless he just snaps and tries to have his way with her. Although that would lead to new problems. Likely jail time.

YunieXTidus on January 10, 2011, 12:55:04 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHaha, well at least you're honest with yourself! I've been downing episode after episode of Naruto. I'm on ep 179 now. They seem to have an awful amount of filler episodes. They should devote more screen time to Kakashi. ^^

nextguardian on January 10, 2011, 12:59:59 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNo point in lying to yourself^^
Oh yeah, there is a TON. Some of the fillers will make you facepalm, but there are some really good episodes, too. If you ever get a chance, check out the Naruto OVA "Kingdom of the Crescent Moon" (or something like that. can't remember exactly). That's one of my favorites because Sakura is really...well, useful and cute in that movie, lol.

YunieXTidus on January 10, 2011, 1:01:36 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusLol nice. And the only Naruto movie I've seen to date is the one having something to do with rainbows. That was a long time ago, so I don't remember. xD

And one of the recent episodes, with Jiraiya, made me facepalm so hard my forehead hurt. It was so funny, but dumb. xD

nextguardian on January 10, 2011, 1:09:45 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianRainbows...hmm. That might have been the Waterfall Village OVA. The only one I've never seen, actually ^^' Which isn't like me. I'm obsessive. I HAVE to see all of it! lol.

Oh, the one where he wants a woman, and Naruto brings him a watermelon?

YunieXTidus on January 10, 2011, 1:12:55 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNo, but that was funny too! The one where Jiraiya has to finish the manuscript and send it off to the publisher of the new Make-out book. The manuscript gets switched with a peace offering from the Claw village, and Jiraiya and Naruto have to go hunt down the 'Delivery Ninja' to make the trade, but they won't give them the envelope. The lord from the Fang village opens the manuscript package, and is all excited because he's a huge fan of the Make-out series. He calls for peace immediately between the two countries.

nextguardianOh, yes, now I remember! Man, that was one ridiculous episode! The costumes on those carrier-nin were laughter inducing all by themselves.
Did Kakashi face that group of lane ninja yet? The ones he beat up, but doesn't remember, and they've had that grudge ever since?

YunieXTidus on January 10, 2011, 1:17:22 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat was in the 'Kakashi-sensei's true face' episode. Sooo funny. xD

nextguardian on January 10, 2011, 1:20:27 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt was? Oh, yeah! That's right, because the girl he saved fell in love with him at first site. Oh, right! Blah, I had that mixed up with another episode. I really need to watch through the series again.
So, besides Kakashi and Sakura, do you have any other favorite characters?

YunieXTidus on January 10, 2011, 1:23:06 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHmm.... Well, I do love Lee. He was the first Naruto character I actually got attached to. My first episode of Naruto was his fight at the Chunin exam. I cried, so hard. xD

But other than that, I'd have to say I like Kiba a lot. He's a pretty badass character. And, hey, what can I say, I have a soft spot for dogs.

nextguardian on January 10, 2011, 1:25:32 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianFor me, it was Lee, Kimimaro, Asuma, and the Third Hokage. For the girls, I got a kick out of Anko, but I also really liked Hayate's girlfriend, Yuugao. Oh, and Tenten. I like weapons, so that made sense.

YunieXTidus on January 10, 2011, 1:28:19 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusOh, and I really like Shikamaru. His 'it's such a bother' attitude kinda reminds me of me, actually. but he's also an amazing strategist.

But yeah... Kakashi's my absolute #1 fave.

nextguardian on January 10, 2011, 1:31:12 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianShikamaru is cool. I also liked Kabuto, actually. I'm not sure why, but he struck me as cool. Oh, and Hayate the exam proctor, too. His job is similar to mine, actually.

Sakura's number one with me, lol.

YunieXTidus on January 10, 2011, 1:32:35 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusKabuto for me as well. And Sakura... I noticed. ;)

nextguardian on January 10, 2011, 1:36:08 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol. I'm a sucker for the strong, tsundere girls. And ponytails. lol. Ino's attitude, though...yuck. That's why Sakura always winds up with a ponytail when she's out with Yuji, lol.

Oh, I was curious about something. My other OC that I think you've read about by now, Azami- what did you think of her?

YunieXTidus on January 10, 2011, 1:37:22 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI liked her, and she and Yuji definitely had chemistry. At this point, I dunno about them as a couple though. I'm on the fence. :P

nextguardian on January 10, 2011, 1:43:13 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianShe's fun to write about. Yuji's so quiet and secluded. Azami plays off him pretty well. He's the perfect straight man for any girl character, though, lol. Thanks for your opinion on her, though :) I can't wait until you meet Asuna and Uzume. Well, their cooler forms, anyway ^^'

For some reason, my guy OC's are pathetic, and my girl OC's are way too good for any of my guy OC's.

YunieXTidus on January 10, 2011, 1:44:31 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI think you- I mean, your guy OC's- have an inferiority complex. *shrug*

nextguardian on January 10, 2011, 1:49:39 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, could be. Most likely. Yuji is based a little off me. But actually, now that I really think about it, I think I overcompensated. See, a lot of people don't like OC's because people make them into gods. Unbeatable, really cool, irresistable to the opposite sex, etc. I wanted Yuji to be different. So I did that to him consciously. If you look at my fics really closely, Yuji never just 'gets' a new power. I always say that he trained, or sacrificed something to earn it. Maybe that's why Yuji isn't universally hated yet, lol.

Sorry for the long-winded, crackpot theory on my psyche for creating my OC to be a loser, lol.

YunieXTidus on January 10, 2011, 1:52:22 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusNo, no, i think it's interesting. Yuji is a very likable character, simply because he works hard for everything he gets. and it's very endearing when a guy like that is so lady-shy. xD

nextguardian on January 10, 2011, 1:58:36 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIt makes him an easy target, anway. The battle-scarred warrior who turns into mush at the mere attention of a female.

Oh! I found this chapter in a fic I did a looongggg time ago. I thought you might get a kick out of it. Back then, Ryouko was known as Ekyt (a name from another series I did), and he's taken a vow of silence at this point, for some reason I can't remember. But this chapter really cracked me up, and I thought you might get a laugh, too:

http://www.fanart-central.net/chapter-87447.html

Anyway, I've got to be going for tonight. It was nice chatting with you :) Thanks again for doing that pic of Ryouko and Sakura!

YunieXTidus on January 10, 2011, 10:30:31 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusRead it! It was quite funny. I commented on it. And I'm working on my fix right now! Hopefully I can get two or three chapters done in the next 2 hours. Gotta love finals.

nextguardianRyouko/Kimihiro is pretty different in this fic, and there's one couple in here that you're coming up to that I had a lot of fun writing about. It's not someone you'd normally pair my OC with, but I think it's believable.

No problem :) I"m really enjoying your fic. It's really well done. Poor Kakashi!

YunieXTidus on January 10, 2011, 11:21:42 AM

YunieXTidusI know, right? Teacher gets no love.

nextguardianI'm rooting for him. Even I have to admit he and Sakura would be good together.

YunieXTidus on January 10, 2011, 11:29:00 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI know, right? I do feel kinda bad for Yuji, though. It hurts to see the person you love with someone else.

nextguardian on January 10, 2011, 11:35:09 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHe's Yuji, lol. I think he'd have a stroke if he ever did get the girl.
But Kakashi is definitely deserving. He might actually be more lonely than Yuji.

YunieXTidus on January 10, 2011, 11:36:36 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusSee, Yuji calls injustice, but your excuse is, "i'm only concerned for your health!!!" xD

And I know! It's so sad.

nextguardian on January 10, 2011, 11:42:39 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, what can I say? I'm a horrible owner who mistreats his OC!
I always thought Kakashi and Anko would be an interesting couple, for some reason.

YunieXTidus on January 10, 2011, 11:43:48 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThat would be interesting. But for now, Kakashi only has eyes for Sakura.~ I think he's a masochist.

nextguardian on January 10, 2011, 11:50:44 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianSo that makes Yuji a- what's beyond masochist? lol

YunieXTidus on January 10, 2011, 11:51:23 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHold on, I'll look it up. xD

nextguardian on January 10, 2011, 11:56:03 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, actually, I think Kakashi is loyal. Yuji is the masochist XD

YunieXTidus on January 10, 2011, 11:58:08 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusFair point. And I couldn't find anything beyond a masochist! There isn't a word yet for what Yuji is. xD

nextguardian on January 10, 2011, 12:02:57 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol. I was just thinking that, if you go by looks, Yuji has no chance. He's kind of like this depressed, semi-interesting mysterious guy. Kakashi is truly mysterious and apparently handsome, if Ayame's reaction is to believed in that episode where Team 7 tries to see Kakashi's face.

YunieXTidus on January 10, 2011, 12:04:01 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD that is my favorite episode EVAR. And even the chef was blushing, remember?

nextguardian on January 10, 2011, 12:09:09 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYeah! Apparently, Kakashi must have a way with everyone. Some people are just unfair, even in manga, huh? lol.

YunieXTidus on January 10, 2011, 12:13:25 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusBut you know, some girls like plainer guys! Keep that in mind, and Yuji might find his match!

YunieXTidus on January 10, 2011, 12:10:18 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI know! It's just not fair.

nextguardian on January 10, 2011, 12:20:26 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianGood find! I had a whole bunch of good ones on my last comp. A good mix of Sakura, some other Naruto characters, some Shakugan no Shana, etc. Wish I could find those specific ones again.

YunieXTidus on January 10, 2011, 12:21:32 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI watched several episodes of Shakugan no Shana and I loved it. But when I went back to Hastings to rent more, they didn't have any! I was so mad.

nextguardianThey discontinued the really awesome book series in the US. the manga is good, though. I'm translating the novels into english. Man, it's hard. I've learned some Japanese, but not enough to be able to just read it. I'm thankful for subbed anime now!

YunieXTidus on January 10, 2011, 12:32:00 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusJust from watching subbed anime, I've picked up bits and pieces of Japanese. If they offer it at the college I'll go to, I'm totally taking it.

nextguardian on January 10, 2011, 12:38:48 PM

YunieXTidus on January 9, 2011, 4:41:39 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYes, you do. I just can't picture that. xD

And I may give it a go eventually. I've thought about introducing her into my kakashiXsakura fic, but that would kind of defeat the purpose of it being a kakashiXsakura fic. I'd want Kakashi all to myself!

andr28aWord to the wise "Pun not intended" When you type your story and edit it. Do both on word and save the file on rich text format. When you upload the chapter will come out the same was as it was on word.
But then I'm not one to tell you how to do things. I'll let you decide on that.

YunieXTidus on January 7, 2011, 10:31:51 AM

andr28a on January 7, 2011, 10:38:37 AM

andr28a on
andr28aCause your chapter sizes are very small. Evidance that tells me you use BB Code typing. I did that too before I used the method I just told you. Found it alot easier to be honest. But for you... who knows.

YunieXTidus on January 7, 2011, 10:40:31 AM

YunieXTidusOh, I see. Actually when I'm first writing my chapters, I write them out on paper. So their shortness is my fault, haha. ^^'

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHa, well, usually I am, but both tasks take up all of my concentration, so it's nearly impossible. I'm watching Naruto with subtitles instead of english dub, so I have to read, too. Reading one thing while writing another just does not work.

nextguardianI believe it. Especially if you get ideas while you're watching and keep trying to write them down, then rewind the show because you missed something while you were writing...not that it's happened to me or anything XD

YunieXTidus on January 7, 2011, 10:17:45 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusRight, of course not. And it doesn't help that it's subbed instead of dubbed, so I have to read the subtitles to understand what's going on. It's really difficult to read one thing while writing another!

By the way, what was your favorite battle scene? Was it Rock Lee's 'drunken fist' one? That was pretty hilarious.

nextguardian on January 7, 2011, 10:29:28 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYep, Rock Lee vs. Kimimaro. And 3rd Hokage vs. Orochimaru, but Lee's battle was seriously awesome!

YunieXTidus on January 7, 2011, 10:30:47 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYeah, they were both pretty epic battles, in different ways! xD

nextguardian on January 7, 2011, 10:33:13 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianLee has the best battle scenes, I think. Him vs. Gaara, and him vs. Kimimaro. He's definitely got the best battle scenes in Naruto, I think. Except for maybe Itachi.

YunieXTidus on January 7, 2011, 10:34:06 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI've only seen 2 battle scenes with Itachi so far, but I'd have to agree with you.

nextguardian on January 7, 2011, 10:37:07 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianLee is like Yuji in that people can relate to him. A fruitless crush, not being the best, working hard, etc. ITachi is what everyone WANTS to be, lol.

YunieXTidus on January 7, 2011, 10:39:04 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusRight now I'm watching the episode where Naruto catches up with Sasuke, and we get a little more info on Sasuke's past. Turns out Itachi was a good brother! Until he went all psycho. I wasn't expecting that.

nextguardian on January 7, 2011, 10:42:37 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianYeah, but he's a cool psycho! lol. I kind of wish I had a big brother like that, lol. Itachi's cool in his own way. Minus the psycho bit.

YunieXTidus on January 7, 2011, 10:43:59 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYou wish you had a brother who slaughtered your whole family? OO'

Jk. Yeah, I would too. But I do feel bad for Sasuke, living in his brother's shadow, always having these huge expectations thrust on him. Poor kid. No wonder he's emo.

nextguardian on January 7, 2011, 10:53:27 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianwell, maybe SOME of the family 00'
jk :)

Yeah, that sucks for poor Sasuke. Although the entire clan being that well known is another part of his problem.

YunieXTidus on January 7, 2011, 10:54:30 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusxD I know how you feel!

And yeah. But still. His dad's a jerk.

nextguardian on January 7, 2011, 10:56:55 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHis Dad is, you're right. He was probably that way to Itachi and just figured 'hey, it works'.

Oh, I was curious about something: How do you picture Yuji? I mean, what clothes does he wear when you picture him?

YunieXTidus on January 7, 2011, 12:07:44 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm at Sasuke's and Naruto's epic fight right now. This is intense!

YunieXTidus on January 7, 2011, 11:29:04 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, it kind of varies. In my fic, when he found Kakashi and was taking care of him, I just pictured him with shorts like Sasuke always wears, and an elbow-sleeved dark green shirt.

nextguardian on January 7, 2011, 12:44:58 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianHmm, okay, makes sense. Thank for telling me. His clothes usually changed, depending on my mood. In my co-op fic with Andr28a, his clothes are borderline goth at this point 00' lol. But that's an odd version of him. You're closer to the norm, I think.

YunieXTidus on January 7, 2011, 1:35:49 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI.... I just can't even imagine Ryouko wearing goth clothes. Idk that just doesn't seem very 'him.'

But in the last few chapters of your fic, I pictured him with black pants that bunched up just above the ankles, and no shirt. I'm not even sure why. That's just how I saw him. *shrug*

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI know, right? I wanted to punch their lights out like Sakura and Naruto did! I wanted to see his face, too... ;_;

My friend (who I'm extremely influenced by) had told me that Naruto was a juvenile anime, not worth spending hours and hours watching. I quit watching it for the longest time, but reading your fic on a whim made me decide that it didn't matter what he said, Naruto is a great show. :P

nextguardian on January 5, 2011, 3:31:24 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI hope we get to see his face before the end of the show.

I heard the same thing about Naruto. But people had also told me manga and anime were juvenile. If it's entertaining, I'll read/watch it, and probably write about it later, lol.

YunieXTidus on January 5, 2011, 3:34:07 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI mean, sure, Naruto's audience was intended to be younger kids, but as the audience grew up, so did the show. It has points that apply to us now, even though we don't live in the ninja era.

But yeah, I'd considered writing fanfics for several anime, but never really got into the idea until now. And this one is just too much fun. I'm looking forward to reading more of your story btw. It's getting seriously intense!

nextguardian on January 5, 2011, 3:37:33 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAbsolutely. Besides, fun is fun. I've never been one to subscribe to being too old for something. Good point about the audience, too. I hadn't thought of it that way.

Thank you :) I don't mind saying it should get a lot more intense before I'm through.

Oh, btw, I found a couple of my older fics you might like:

nextguardiannp; one of those is actually a sort of fore-runner to "Serving Naruto and Sakura". Almost a happier version of it. Which is why I thought of it, actually.

YunieXTidusyeah. poor ryouko gets no love.

nextguardianlol, true. One of these times he'll get the girl. I hope. lol. Even I'm not sure. But I'd like to think he'll earn a happy ending one of these times!

YunieXTidus on January 5, 2011, 3:56:31 PM

YunieXTidusI sure hope so. The poor guy deserves it more than most! But, ... which girl will he get?

nextguardian on January 5, 2011, 4:04:47 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianGood question. I've tried him with different girls. He and Sakura or he and Azami seem to go best together, but I've always wanted to pair him up with Asuna, too.

YunieXTidus on January 5, 2011, 4:07:10 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusMhm. It's a hard decision. And I just finished the episode where Shikamaru and the gang are going after Sasuke. Choji just 'died.' xD I'm crying.

nextguardian on January 5, 2011, 4:14:59 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI've got to admit that I feel like I'm neglecting the other girls sometimes, when Yuji and Sakura get paired together so oftne. lol, it's stupid, I know, but still...

That episode almost got me the first time, too. The first episode I ever saw was the Third Hokage vs. Orochimaru. I was hooked instantly.

YunieXTidus on January 5, 2011, 4:16:42 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusWell, Yuji and Sakura just go really well together. Like milk and cookies!

And my first episode was Rock Lee's battle during the Chunin exam. I cried so hard. Totally hooked. If a show can get me THAT emotionally attached to a character in one episode, it's a keeper.

nextguardian on January 5, 2011, 4:20:23 PM

nextguardian on January 5, 2011, 4:28:48 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianlol, he IS based a little off me, in all fairness XD
It's about 3:30 am here. But I'm wide awake, for some insane reason.

YunieXTidus on January 5, 2011, 4:30:10 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThe sad thing is, I have to get up in 3 and a half hours! This is the third night I've stayed up this late watching Naruto. Stupid addiction. xC

nextguardian on January 5, 2011, 4:35:57 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI do the same thing. I just tell myself that, by sitting down and not moving, I'm really resting, so I'll be fine. It's not so different from sleeping. Yeah, and denial is a beautiful river in Egypt, lol.

Well, I've got to be going. Hope you get some rest. Enjoy Naruto!

YunieXTidus on January 5, 2011, 4:37:05 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThanks, it was nice talking to you!

andr28a on January 5, 2011, 9:17:04 AM

andr28a on
andr28aI little late but thank you for faving one of my stories. How are you getting on with it?

YunieXTidus on January 5, 2011, 10:38:01 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI actually haven't started yet, I've been busy working on my own fanfic and studying for finals. But this weekend I've designated a slot for reading it. I faved it so I wouldn't forget!

By the way, I know you're not all for the teacher/student pairings, but I'd love it if you would check out my Kakashi/Sakura fanfic. Nextguardian is reading it, and he loves it! Ryouko's made his debut, two chapters ago. If you feel like reading it, lemme know what you think! :)

nextguardian on January 4, 2011, 1:15:16 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianJust commented on your updates. I'm really loving this fic of yours!
And thank you for the comments on my fic. I'm glad you liked those. I got a kick out of writing them. Especially Ryouko's mother in the one fic. For some reason, she wound up being really fun. I'm hoping to continue that series sometime soon, actually ^^

YunieXTidus on January 4, 2011, 1:17:24 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYeah, Ryouko's mom was a trip. I really like that story. It gives the sense of a true first love, but also a more mature way of looking at it, if that makes sense. :P

nextguardian on January 5, 2011, 3:06:46 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAwesome job! Thanks again for including Ryouko! I'm really loving your fic.

YunieXTidus on January 5, 2011, 3:08:06 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHeh, thanks! ^^

nextguardian on January 3, 2011, 2:54:29 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI got around to reading your fic earlier. Very nice stuff!

Thank you for the link. I'll read through that when I get a minute :)

And feel free to use Yuji, absolutely. I'll look forward to seeing what you'll do with him :D

YunieXTidus on January 3, 2011, 2:55:12 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThank you, and thanks for the permission!

nextguardian on January 3, 2011, 2:59:32 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNo problem at all. I'm glad to see someone likes my poor little girl-shy Yuji! lol.

YunieXTidus on January 3, 2011, 3:01:26 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusHaha well, he's got quite the personality. And I'm almost done with my next chapter. It'll be posted in the next 15 minutes or so!

nextguardian on January 3, 2011, 3:03:44 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm glad to hear that. It's hard to make an OC really original. Yuji's the only OC I know of who is a perpetual loser, lol.

Awesome! Can't wait to read it!

YunieXTidus on January 3, 2011, 3:06:42 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI just realized it's a looooot longer than my other two chapters. Jeesh, I do get carried away sometimes.

nextguardian on January 3, 2011, 3:10:02 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianSame here. Once you hit the right stride with your writing, it's hard to stop when.

Oh, I forgot. I've updated "Serving Naruto and Sakura". Hope you enjoy it!

YunieXTidus on January 3, 2011, 3:10:59 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm reading it right now!

nextguardian on January 3, 2011, 3:17:11 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardian:)

nextguardian on January 3, 2011, 3:22:46 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThanks for the comment :) I think I started writing the one-shot love stories simply because Yuji doesn't get any in my normal fics. lol

YunieXTidus on January 3, 2011, 3:25:07 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI kinda figured that. Poor kid never gets a break, but at least he can fantasize.

nextguardian on January 3, 2011, 3:28:58 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianTrue. I just see so many OC's who are powerful as gods and have women falling all over them. I want Yuji to earn what he gets. I think we can all relate to that in some way.

Oh, by the way, your fic is seriously excellent! I keep saying it, but it's spot-on for the Naruto world!

YunieXTidus on January 3, 2011, 3:38:14 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYeah, that makes sense. I'm rooting for him!

nextguardian on January 3, 2011, 3:44:49 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI just read your last chapter. Really, really good. I said more in my comment, but suffice it to say I got a kick out of that chapter!

I meant to recommend one of my older fics to you. It's an older one I did, a series of three. I liked it because I think it works within Naruto and within a 'normal' love fic. Not sure, but I think you'd enjoy it. Here's the link to the first chapter:

http://www.fanart-central.net/chapter-92570.html

That chapter is number 17 in my first "Naruto Couples" fic. After that comes 19, then 21. If you decide to read it. If not, no biggie :)

nextguardian on January 3, 2011, 3:58:45 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianOh, and just noticed your comment on my profile. For bold, you type (Your text here) [ / b ], without the spaces. For italics, replace 'b' with 'i'. Hope that helps!

YunieXTidus on January 3, 2011, 4:00:03 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusThank you soooo much!

And I'm reading the link you gave me. This is good stuff! I can't believe I missed it when I went through your work before.

nextguardian on January 3, 2011, 3:59:35 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI've got to go for now. Good chatting with you :)

YunieXTidus on January 3, 2011, 4:00:25 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYes, indeed. I think this is the most we've talked in one day!

nextguardian on December 29, 2010, 9:00:28 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI've just updated "Naruto Couples II" Enjoy!

YunieXTidus on December 31, 2010, 3:00:59 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYes, I read your new entry. Very good. That story intrigued me when I first read it, and I can't wait to see what happens next.

nextguardian on January 3, 2011, 9:30:28 AM

YunieXTidusMerry Christmas to you, as well! And I'm headed over there now to read my request. Thanks so much for doing it.

nextguardian on December 27, 2010, 1:02:45 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianNo problem :) Hope it was okay. I haven't done that pairing before ^^

YunieXTidus on December 27, 2010, 1:11:43 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusYeah, I liked it! It inspired me to do my own short story for the pairing. Can't wait for the next installment of 'Serving Naruto and Sakura'!

nextguardian on December 28, 2010, 7:50:29 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat's nice to hear, on both counts :)

nextguardian on December 28, 2010, 7:50:51 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianIf you post that story, I'll be sure to read it.

YunieXTidus on January 1, 2011, 12:05:11 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI've put up my intro chapter to my KakashiXSakura fanfic. You can find it under "The Key to His Heart" in my stories. Please let me know what you think! :)

nextguardian on January 3, 2011, 9:30:46 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'm going to read it right now :D

YunieXTidus on January 3, 2011, 9:31:29 AM

nextguardian on December 24, 2010, 6:03:25 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThanks so much for all the comments :) I'm putting the finishing touches on that fic you requested.
Merry Christmas!

nextguardian on December 25, 2010, 12:18:09 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI've just updated Serving Naruto and Sakura. Enjoy!

nextguardian on December 9, 2010, 1:50:50 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianAwesome! It's not up yet, but I'll comment once it is :)
Good to hear from you. I appreciate all the comments. That KakashiXSakura fic is in the works now. I should have it up soon.

Thanks again!

YunieXTidus on December 14, 2010, 10:13:30 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusAbout how long of a wait period do you normally get for your pics? Cause this is taking several days. :(

nextguardian on December 14, 2010, 10:47:17 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThis is average, actually. When you submit more pics, they waive the wait time. You might want to double-check that it didn't get rejected for some reason. I've that happen to me by accident.

Almost done with the KakashiXSakura fic, btw :)

Also, Serving Naruto and Sakura has been updated.

YunieXTidus on December 14, 2010, 10:48:08 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI've checked, it hasn't been rejected yet. And yay! :)

nextguardian on December 14, 2010, 12:26:49 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThen it should be up soon. It's usually 3 days to a week wait.

I just noticed your comment on the pic of Naruto OC. Thanks for that. I really appreciate it :)

YunieXTidus on December 15, 2010, 8:04:28 AM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusIt's up now! :D

nextguardian on December 15, 2010, 12:48:06 PM

nextguardian on
nextguardianJust saw it. My comment on it is longer, but suffice to say I LOVE it. Thanks so much for doing this pic for me!

YunieXTidus on December 15, 2010, 12:49:49 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusSure thing! I'll do more in the future, most likely. I love that pairing.

nextguardian on December 16, 2010, 2:49:40 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianThat would be awesome!

nextguardian on December 3, 2010, 1:11:13 PM

YunieXTidusI'm so sorry, I haven't been on here in a month or two! Crazy thanksgiving break, then school stuff. X_X

nextguardian on November 4, 2010, 2:37:56 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI'll look forward to seeing those new pics, then :) I shaded one of my old pics and thought about posting it. I feel like I should do something new. Although I doubt I've gotten much better. Drawing doesn't come easily to me.

I'm curious about something, if you don't mind my asking. Who's your favorite pairing for Yuji? Sakura, Uzume, Asuna, Azami? It just occured to me that, for a guy who can't talk to girls, he seems to know a lot of them! (Granted, one of them tried to kill him, one of them is boy-shy, one's a priestess, and the other has her eyes elsewhere...lol. Poor guy). Don't feel obligated to answer; I'm just curious :)

nextguardian on November 1, 2010, 5:53:46 AM

nextguardian on
nextguardianI see. Hope you're feeling better, then. I was sick for a while myself, actually. Which sucked because I had a ton of work to. Perfect timing, right?
I've updated Serving Naruto and Sakura again. Thanks for the comments!

YunieXTidus on November 2, 2010, 12:45:14 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI may be uploading some pictures tonight! I'm happy to report that my drawing skills have MUCH improved since the last post. :D

So, how are you doing?

YunieXTidus on September 16, 2010, 2:11:15 PM

YunieXTidus on
YunieXTidusI'm doing good! Thanks for asking! I've been so busy with band and school lately that I haven't had any time to draw, or write. I'm actually working on something for youtube for one of my youtube friends, which I haven't been able to work on since I started moving! Hopefully things will settle down, soon and I can get back to my regular schedule.

nextguardian on September 19, 2010, 1:45:20 PM
