Character: Private Tamama
Series: Keroro Gunsou ( www.livejournal.com/community/pokopen )
Canon: Tamama is an alien frog from the planet Keron. He and his comrades were sent to Pokopen (the keronian word for earth) to conquer it, and ended up stranded there. He has Multiple Personality Disorder, so he can snap at any moment. He's the "cutesy" element of the series, and he ADORES candy and sweets.....but at any time he can just suddenly become the total opposite. Oh right, and he's gay for his sergeant, Keroro (calls him Gunsou-san). Tamama ends people he knows' names with "-chi", in example, Momoka = Momocchi. Basically, he's a happy-go-lucky MPD homosexual alien frog.
Waaahhhh....my first day at this Pokopenian summer camp and I'm already sick. Yucky! It wasn't my fault that what I thought was yummy-nummy licorice was really a large intestine! I didn't think that they sold intestines at the camp store.....Pokopenians have such strange tastes!
At least there's internet access....the keyboard is covered with goop though. Teehee! It's squishy like Jell-O! I wonder what'll happen if I AHHH HOLY FUCKING SHIT WHAT IS THE JELL-O FUCKING FUCK F
-later-
....I didn't think Jell-O was capable of that.
But anyways, I suppose I'll have to make the best of it here, if I'm to do any research on Pokopenian behavior. I'm hoping there's none of those....occult-obsessees here that will try to point out I'm an alien, as my anti-barrier cloaking device is out of batteries. ><
It's so creepy here! I wish I had Gunsou-san here with me. I want to cuddle him and stick something sharp up his ass. I'd continue browsing the internet, buuuut there's this blinking icon on every window that won't go away, that says things to lower your self-esteem, so I think I'll go......I feel fat.
Private Tamama, signing off desu~!
Poll So? Character: Athrun Zala
Series: Gundam SEED/ SEED Destiny (
http://www.gundamofficial.com/worlds/ce/index.html)
Canon: Sidekick to Kira Yamato One of
the main male protoganists of the series. ZAFT ace
pilot, famous top gun among the Coordinators.
Super-133t military skillz balanced out by bouts of
severe angst over his father's psychotic tendencies
and his own inability to stop good friends dying
tragically by the hands of other good friends, plus
the fact that he always ends up on the side of the
battle where he has to fight against said friends.
Shinn's superior onboard the Minerva and FAITH member.
Wears guilt and angst like the proverbial millstone
around his neck.
Dear Diary.
Yesterday I received new orders by Chairman Dullindal
about a duty transfer to the location where Shinn had
been assigned to several weeks ago. I was informed
that I was to provide Shinn with what aid I could
towards the success of his mission there.
Upon reflection, it seems that what he really meant
was a forced termination of my tenure aboard the
Minerva, possibly due to the loss of my unit in that
last sea battle (i.e: they wanted my ass kicked off
the ship because I got Saviour chopped to pieces by a
legendary Gundam piloted by my best friend who
currently hates me because I blew off his sister which
happens to be the girl I'm in love with but whom I
yelled at because she seems to have misplaced her
spine recently. Woe is me T__T)
But I digress.
At any rate, this has to be some sort of punishment. I
highly doubt a standard recon mission includes being
armed only with primitive shotguns against walking
people with rotting holes in them, whom I distinctly
recall seeing in the ship's morgue a few days
ago after Kira blasted the cannon off the Minerva.
Why are they here now? Is it because I failed to
prevent their deaths by Kira's hand? Are they here to
torment me over how utterly worthless I am, for all my
acclaimed talent? Or perhaps I am already in Hell and
serving out my sentence of constant plaguing by the
ghosts of my failures.
Something cold and slimy is wetting my back. Either my
miasma of angst has taken on a physical form in this
cursed place, or the tentacle monster's here to visit.
Poll So? Character: Heine Westenfluss
Series: Gundam Seed Destiny
Canon: Heine is a perky, idealistic sort in the ZAFT military (the same as Shinn). He's rather forward and personal, and sees everyone on the same level, rather than attaching a rank to a name and whatnot. He's also far too interested in Athrun Zala, resident angstwhore, for his own good.
Dear Athrun,
Camp is so lonely without you. I wondered, when I first woke up, why your skin smelled like rotting cow feces, but then I realized that it was just a gorilla on my leg. It took hours to get that stuff out of my hair. My hair, Athrun.
I have decided that everyone in this camp is v. v. tacky and in great need of lessons in skin care. The grunge look was way out in the 90s -- needs more leather. Will have to rectify this shortly, as soon as zombie measurements are received.
Two words, Athrun Zala: fashion show. Step, step, spin, turn, and next! What better way to unite everyone, especially since something seems to be in the water anyway and half the camp is an assortment of fruits? Also contemplating a rousing campfire singalong with our zombie friends and a hot cup of schmoze.
Someone needs to inform those gorillas that their purple fur is clashing with their radioactive bananas.
Poll So? Character: Lydia Deetz
Series: Beetlejuice (the movie, not the cartoon)
Canon: lydia Deetz is a strange and unusual girl. She dresse in black goth/
funeral dresses. She also wears large black hats and veils. Lydia has a
wonderful relationship with the two dead people who live in her house, she
almost had to marry betelgeuse, the undead weirdo who helped save her dead
friends from dying again. She speaks softly, and is very morbid and bleak, she
tries to be as ridiculously overdramatic as possible. When she writes a
suicide note, she crosses words out and rewrites them to be more dramatic.
Dear Journal, all is lost. There is no hope for me against the
darkness of the world. My parents have dropped me here in the middle of some
desolate wasteland, shouting something about getting out of my dark room and
leaving Mom to pursue Vanity Fair or some such art shit. Mom and her "art." IT
seems everyone except her and Otho realize how godawful her work is. Well, I
suppose I must deal with this place, I do not fear zombies or the strange and
unusual, for I myself am strange and unusual. I already have several
experiences with the undead under my belt, having almost married that vile
loathesome man: Betelgeuse. Poor man, eaten by a sandworm, but I suppose that
is the way of this dark world. well it appears that everyone seems to be
worried, so there must be zombies on the approach. I must go and see what all
the fuss is about. Now where did I put that godforsaken shotgun?
Poll So? Character: Kousuke Ueki
Series: The Law of Ueki (
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=5063 ,
http://www.avexmode.jp/animation/ueki/ )
Canon: Kousuke Ueki is a junior high-student who was given a very special
ability... The ability to grow trees out of his hand! No… Really... He
takes garbage and turns it into trees. A human recycle bin. He is very
laid-back (and… kind of slow...), and pretty much keeps to himself, if
only because he has trouble making friends because of his strange
power. Kousuke spends a lot of his time planting trees or cleaning up
the local parks... He loves the environment! His favorite word is
'Justice.'
(Note: Kousuke can gain or lose 'talents' depending on how he uses his
powers. For example; He lost his 'talent to charm girls,' because he
abused his ability. So now the female members in his class do not like
him. However, recently he acquired a dancing 'talent.' So now he has
smooth moves.)
Kobasen…
So… I'm here. And what the hell am I supposed to do now? You said I
was sent here for training, which is okay… but zombie hunting isn't
what I had in mind. Plus… there's the, uh, other thing. I walked in
this morning and saw an arm lying on the ground. Like, a person's arm.
I don't think that was supposed to be there.
Unless it's a new kind of plant.
Speaking of…! I wonder if there's an environmental education course
here. I read that they did that at some camps… somewhere… and that you
get to go bird watching and go on bug hunts. I also found this
neat game that I think would be good for bonding
purposes... and in case you were wondering, there wasn't any
hidden meaning to that There are pretty crazy people here! I
haven't met my bunkmates yet, but I did see a few people running
around with really big guns. You know, like the kinds of guns they
have in those movies? With those big muscle-y guys all tossing ammo
around, and stuff, and bombs are flying everywhere and cars are
exploding and the guy has to save the girl just in time before the
evil mad scientist serial rapist vampire pirate takes over the world…
guns like those.
I guess as long as the vampire pirates don't trample the grass while
killing the zombies, then it's cool.
I need to unpack. I hope I remembered to bring my Captain Planet sleeping bag…
Poll So? Character: Yzak Jule
Series: Gundam Seed Destiny
Canon: Hotheaded, ultra-competitive Coordinator
(genetically engineered human) soldier whose mission
in life is beating his arch-rival Athrun Zala and
anyone else who dares compete with him. Looks down on
Naturals (non-GE'ed humans). Can get emotional, has
male PMS issues at times. Fiercely loyal to the PLANT
space colonies, likes piloting robots with
hand-to-hand weaponry and maintains a fiery but close
(veeeery close) relationship with his partner and
comrade-in-arms, Dearka Elthman, who's usually the
only one who can weather Yzak's temper tantrums. Also
a filial son who loves Mommy very much.
'Ethical Reformation and Re-education Camp' my
ass. This place is a fucking hellhole.
Literally.
Dearka, when I get out of here, you'd better be hiding
far, far away or your balls are gonna be so much
explosively decompressed MEAT in space. DO YOU HEAR
ME? CHUNKY SAUSAGE MEAT.
Mother knows I've never bought a single porn mag in my
entire life and those crates of Big N' Bouncy
they found stashed under my bunk in the vice raid were
CERTAINLY NOT MINE. And since only one other person
shares the same bedroom with me, who
else could they have belonged to, HMM?
Go on. Point and laugh, you bastard. When I figure out
how to escape, this shotgun's coming along for a
souvenir. You'd better be wearing a titanium cup.
and no bedtime for you for the next fucking millenia.
Poll So? Character: Anakin Skywalker
Series: Star Wars (post-Clone Wars, pre-Revenge of the Sith)
Canon: Anakin has been trained as a Jedi apprentice
since he was a young boy by Obi-Wan Kenobi. Is
contentiously regarded to be the chosen one who will
bring balance to the Force. Anakin is extremely
powerful, and has the best intentions for his actions.
However, he can be arrogant, reckless and irritable,
depending on what he's been told he's not allowed to
do at the time. He also has minor outbursts of
MURDEROUS DARK RAGE sometimes. As a Jedi, he is
supposed to have tight control of his emotions, but he
doesn't always succeed in keeping them in check... as
evidenced by the RAGE. Anakin is secretly married to
Padme Amidala, despite not being allowed to love as a
Jedi, and has a prosthetic limb after getting his arm
lopped off by Count Dooku in a fight that went very
bad.
I have had a lot of assignments, but this
is perhaps the worst one yet. I only took this
assignment because Master was so insistent, and all
the other Jedi are engaged in the clone wars. They
never let me join in the important battles. But I
suppose solving a murder could gain us allies.
I was under the impression that I also had to
investigate this planet and determine whether it was
aligned with the Seperatists or the Republic. I
haven't done that as yet, but after fighting off a
massive horde of dead alien ... things ... I don't
think it's really a priority. No matter how much I cut
them down with my lightsaber, they just reattach
themselves and keep coming. This planet is
incomprehensible.
After some reconnaisance, I've found that there are a
great deal of non-natives here as well, and apparently
they are all imprisoned. They are a mixed variety, but
the majority of them seem to have gone mad from the
confinement. One small boy in black took one look at
me before screaming, "I'M ON TO YOU!" and running in
the opposite direction. There are also some very
ecclectic beings that may be the most sophisticated
droids I've ever seen. One keep referring to itself in
third person, however, so they might be broken. Most
everyone has a primitive blaster weapon at their
disposal, which I found out after being shot at
whenever I came near the nervous ones.
I also made an initial attempt to escape the
encampment. It didn't work. Trying to use the Force
against the barrier knocked me out quite badly, and it
did me no good; I woke up to find the dead aliens
trying to violate me in unspeakable places. I believe
that this place is infected with the Dark Side; it's
the only explanation for the madness, dead aliens that
move, and uncontrollable sex drives going on.
I have a bad feeling about this.
Poll So? Character: Tomoyo Daidouji
Series: Card Captor Sakura (
http://www.tokyopop.com/dbpage.php?propertycode=CCS&categorycode=BMG) / Tsubasa RC (
http://www.bwys.net/tsubasa.php)
Canon: Tomoyo is explained as a kind, observant friend of the main charactor with two certain obsessions, which include dressing up her best friend and taping her with her beloved camcorder. She would do anything for the person she loves, and if you hear her light 'ohoho's instead of the normal 'haha's you can tell that she is either saitisified and happy or thinking up an evil idea. Her cheerful and gentle manner make it hard for people to dislike her.
I wonder where I've fallen into? I was supposed to go to a special camp where I was to learn more about fashion, but I guess the jet we rented crashed into a crow like the Titanic (ooh, plot bunnies are already popping up- how about 'Card Captor Sakura and the Iceberg that was a Crow'?) and dropped me here to who-knows-where. Remind me to sue them later. But I guess it's okay, since it seems like this place is some kind of camp and I am sure to love any kind of camp, even if the first sign I saw told me to go 'fuck myself'. And if Sakura-chan is with me-
Oh. She's not here. But that's okay, since-
SAKURA-CHAN IS NOT HERE? WHAT IF SHE'S LOST? WHAT IF SHE GOT CAPTURED BY TERRORISTS? WHAT IF SHE GOT A- A- A SCRATCH?
Oh well, no use dwelling over the past. I should get familiar with my surroundings; perhaps I will see someone familiar here, or someone very cute to stalk film with my camcorder. But of course no one will ever replace Sakura-chan, since there could never be someone as cute and clueless as Sakura-chan. See, look over there! There's someone new to tape there- but that's funny, it looks like one of those zombies I saw in one of the latest horror movies. He looks likes someone from 'The Ring' movie. I should scout that person for my new movie in the makes starring Sakura-chan. Although Sakura-chan might get scared and fall off her magic broom staff. I would feel terrible if she got a scratch during my duty! Look, Mr. Zombie is groaning- and he's waving his hand at me! Hello Mr. Zombie! Do you want me to tape you? Of course I will! Give me a second to find my good old camcorder-
OMGMYCAMCORDERITSNOTHEREOMGITSGONEITSLOSTOMGMYSWEETDEARCAMCORDERISLOST!!!!
Oh well, as I said before, no use dwelling over the past. But I miss my old camcorder already. ;_; Perhaps Mr. Zombie over there could tell me where I could buy a new camcorder? Look, he's coming this way! This way, Mr. Zombie!
Hmm. He really does look like a real live zombie up close. How sweet! He's even moaning extremely realistically and waving his hand like a real live zombie. He's so devoted to his little zombie act, isn't he? What a darling sweet Mr. Zombie! It's too bad my camcorders not here, isn't it? Oh, wait, I think I might have a spare camcorder in my pocket- ah! Here it is! Mr. Zombie, say hi to my camcorder! My camcorder is so happy to meet you! Wow, you look even more realistic zoomed-up. Hi Mr. Zombie, you can stop there, you're already close enough to taping range. Hey, why is your face looming up-
CRASH BANG BANG CRASH
...
Bzzzzzz
