Character: Janaff
Series: Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance
Character Age: Canon-given as over 110, but
laguz age slowly and he looks to be in his teens.
Canon: Janaff hails from
Tellius, a war-ridden world which is inhabited by two
primary races- beorcs, which are regular humans, and
laguz, or animal-people. Janaff falls into the
category of the latter, and as such he possesses the
ability to transform into the animal whose features he
possesses: an oversized hawk. He, like many of his
people, distrusts humans fiercely, but due to his
king’s recent alliance with a beorc general, he has
discovered that some of his comrades-at-arms are not
all terrible. When he keeps his temper, he even
remembers to use the more polite word “beorc”- as
opposed to “human,” which is considered somewhat of a
racial slur among laguz.
Janaff is mischievous and irreverent- even the
commands of his king are subject to question if he
doesn’t agree with them- and, for all that he objects
to being called a child, he’s still very much
childish. He is over-confident, easily
excitable, and quick to lose his temper when provoked.
His job as aide to the king stems partly from his
unusual ability to see ridiculous amounts of detail at
equally ridiculous distances and retain a portion of
this ability at night. In a laguz tribe that's almost
completely night blind, this makes him quite unique
indeed, a fact of which he is fiercely and vocally
proud. Those that Janaff takes a liking to will
discover him to be generous and easy-going, if
somewhat insufferable when bored.
Sample post:
Comes down to it, I’m pretty grateful that I’ve got
eyes like mine. What can I say? Being able to see
clearly at a few miles has advantages. For one, I
always get asked to settle the bets on who’s wearing
what under their armor. Why chance being caught
peeping when someone else can just fly up and take a
peek without getting close enough to take the risk,
right? In any case, now’s one of those times.
The grateful times, not the underclothes-betting
times. And if anyone was up here to ask me what was so
worth being grateful over, I’d have the answer ready
faster than a storm wind.
Pretty simple, actually: I don’t have to get in close
and personal to scout the terrain, and with
this terrain, I’m thinking any closer would be
a bad thing. Never saw a lake glow before, and
something tells me those snakes in the water would’ve
been happy to give me a better look if I’d been in
reach. They even went so far as to spell out a welcome
with their bodies. And you know, "I'll be gentle"
isn’t as persuasive as they think it is.
But anyway, I’ve seen plenty; those maps we got ahold
of aren’t worth the parchment they’re written on. So
I’ll just catch the updraft to put on some speed, and-
-hit an invisible wall. And then the forest floor.
Ow. Was that crunching noise my
wing?.
...okay, so I’ll walk back. And not let
my mind make the comparison with birds flying into
windows, not at all. Hopefully, whoever
lives in those buildings I passed will be... out in
the forest, conveniently near at hand? Hey- hey, you!
Yeah, you, the beorc. Look, can you heal? Or one of
your friends? I’m just passing through, see, and I
flew into-
Wha- what are you- Yeow! Alright, you half wit
human. I seriously hope you get those brains
you’re moaning about, because if you haven’t got
enough to figure out that putting your teeth in
someone’s broken wing will piss them off, you’re in
dire need of them. Maybe this was why “gentle”
was such a great sell; if all the locals are like
these bastards, I’m better off with the water snakes.

Character: Midou Ban
Series: Get Backers (Anime)
Character Age: 18
Canon: Get Backers is about a group of characters who are less than normal, more than average, just a little on the whole freak-of-nature type. The main duo, Ban and Ginji, use their special powers as Retrievers, people who claim to get anything back for a fee, usually involving mass destruction, havoc, and all-around chaos. Arrogant and proud, with a huge appetite and an ego to match, Midou Ban is half of the Get Backers pair, the yin to his ditsy and energetic, blonde electricity spewing partner Ginji's yang.
Also known as "The Man of the Evil Eye", Ban possesses the Jagan, an ability to induce a minute-long hypnotic illusion upon anyone whose eyes he meets, with some limitations. This skill and his impossibly powerful strength are just some of the amazing powers that Ban and Ginji have. Sadly, the two are cursed with constant bad luck; always losing their money, getting their car towed, and never having enough food to eat are just the tip of the iceberg. Ban is rude toward most, barring those with money or food, and constantly on the lookout for some quick cash. Although a bit of a jerk sometimes, Ban has a hidden arsenal of intelligence, the battle senses of a genius tactician, and secret skills, leaving him a man to be reakoned with. Unless you're the parking maid.

This is definitely the last time Ginji is ever navigating! America is the land of opportunity!

But instead of cafe waitresses and all-you-can eat buffets, I’m stuck in the middle of some blasted forest with a parking ticket I can’t read and my retarded electric eel of a partner missing!
Hey! Is that a slice of pizza you have there? Moldy? That’s okay, ‘cause I haven’t eaten in two days since I paid off the car’s last tow fee. I’m ready to lick the insides of leftover Chinese food boxes at this point.
Anyway. From what I can see here, you are a wonderful group of misunderstood people, who obviously have more problems and issues than you can keep track of. Surely, you are missing something? Your glasses? An ex-lover?
Well, listen up everybody! Things you loved! Things you’ve misplaced! We-- meaning just me since that dunce head is MIA again --get back anything! Our success rate is nearly perfect! Professional Retrievers, Get Backers at your service! And if you feed us first, we’ll even consider giving you a discount.
So what do you want to get back, people?
...Underwear? You have laundry hanging in some tree you need down? Don't worry, that’s nothing but penny work for us Get Backers! Not that it won’t cost you a bit more of course.
Alright! Where is this laundry tree?

Character: Keiko Himura
Series: Crescent Moon (Mikan no Tsuki) Doesn't have Keiko on the character list, though. Woe.
Character Age: 17-18
Canon: Crescent Moon isn’t your typical Shoujo manga. Drama, demons, werewolves, and vampires, oh my! The 6-volume series revolves mainly around Mahiru Shirashi, a girl who can bring good fortune to others just by being around them. She usually says that others are taking away her good luck, but uh. I have to wonder why the series never goes back to that after the first volume. Later, Mahiru begins to have recurring dreams of demons, and eventually becomes entangled in the Lunar Race, specifically a group of folklore-esque creatures known as the “Moonlight Bandits.” Mahiru tries to mend the rift between humans and the Lunar Race by helping the Moonlight Bandits in their search for their source of power, the “Teardrops of the Moon.”
Of course, there are people opposed to demons and the Lunar Race in general. Keiko Himura is one of them. Being the childhood friend and fiancé of Hokuto, a man who is dead set on the destruction of the Lunar Race, she becomes involved in his schemes and plots against the Moonlight Bandits, so Keiko rarely bats an eye at anything supernatural or strange (perfect candidate for a zombie camp, anyone?). She can lose her "cool" while dealing with these kinds of things at times, and become extremely irritated and exasperated, swearing and complaining until she cools down. Secretly, underneath it all is a bit of guilt, because she feels bad over her actions towards the Moonlight Bandits, and actually sees them as good people. However, Keiko masks her guilt and sympathy with a cold, hard, and uptight no-nonsense exterior; she is not one to mince words - if you're making her mad, you’ll know. Keiko is generally snarky and unpleasant; she tends to keep up a detached demeanor and uses others for information until she doesn't need them anymore. Mostly, she comes off as being unfriendly, irritable, and distant, even around people she actually likes. To sum it up, if Keiko hates you, you'll definitely know it; but if she likes you, you’ll think she hates you. Dot dot dot.
Sample Post:
Great. Just great. Fantastic, even.
By that, I mean what the hell. This entire situation is disgusting. Hokuto that jerk senses some serious demonic activity in the area, so what does he do? He sends me to take a look at the place. Me, Keiko Himura, a school girl, of all people. A stroke of genius, really. And by that, once again, I mean what the hell is wrong with people. How am I supposed to fend off giant squids and rabid gorillas? I should get paid for shit like this, I swear.
“Himura, you deal with werewolves and vampires on a daily basis” is not an adequate excuse, honestly. I fail to see the logic behind any of this. A summer camp in the dead of winter? Oh, yes, I’d be happy to go swimming in the ice cold water and make lanyards when my fingers are no longer receiving a decent flow of blood, that sounds great! This place is obviously lacking common sense. I miss common sense. So, so much.
The zombies really show off the wonderful common sense around here. Honestly, even if they are lacking in brains, those zombies need to learn that "get the hell away from me or I'll have to hurt you" is, in fact, not code for "aahhhhn that feels s-so good, sir!!" Also, fire doesn't seem to work on them either, despite the advice to "kill it with fire" that I had received from a toucan earlier on. Apparently, this was a joke, because he began rolling on the floor and literally laughing his ass off. That was just the fantastic icing on the wonderful cake that was my day. By the way, before any of you decide to be funny and ask for a piece, said cake tastes appaling. I don't plan on being here much longer, however; I've had enough of the "camp experience" to last me the rest of my life, thank you.
I should be leaving now. The sooner I get out of here, the better. You there, zombies that do not appear to have participated in “Zombies Gone Wild” or whatever you chose to call it; I insist that you show me the way out… o-of… he- …ahem. L-let… go… of my skirt. I… I… t-that didn't come out like I intended. I didn’t mean for you to “whisk me away from this dreadful place” like you had thought. That being said, sexual harassment will not be tolerated, I hope you know, and I have no problems with enforcing this policy by punching you in the face. No means no; not "harder" or "once more, please, sir!" I also- …
…No, I don't care that you thought I was asking for it. The school uniform does not come off.

Character: Konoe Konoka
Series: Mahou Sensei Negima!
Character Age: 15
Canon:Mild-mannered Konoe Konoka is a typical middle school student by day, but by night, she becomes-- ah, wait. That's not right at all. In actuality, Konoka is a very kind and understanding girl who usually believes the best in people, and not always due to her
naivety and innocence. She is one of the students of main character Negi Springfield,
and best friend to Asuna, the leading female, providing a contrast to her more violent
tendencies.
Daughter to a quite notable family, Konoka is used to having omiai (a meeting between
two people to consider an arranged marriage) held by her grandfather at her young age,
but believes that she is too young to be worrying about such things. Her interests
include fortune telling and exploring Mahora Academy's ruins-like library. Recently
she also found out about her family's magical heritage (being the daughter of the
heads of the Kansai Magic Association), and is currently studying Western magic, with
the hopes of using her innate magical talent, likely to help heal people.

Dear Diary,
Today was a busy day! I was just walking around campus when suddenly a swamp appeared out of nowhere! I tried calling for anyone, but no matter how far I walked there was nobody to be found! Then suddenly, a purple gorilla jumped out at me! It's embarrassing to admit but I screamed! 'Iyaaaaaaa--!' Like that! Luckily, he was a nice gorilla-san, and he asked me to divinate his future with tarot! I couldn't pass up such an interesting chance so of course I agreed! He didn't seem to happy that I kept drawing Death and The Lovers though...I wasn't even aware I had that many in my deck!
Once I told him that it wasn't a bad thing-- like in Romeo and Juliet-- he was nice again! So much nicer than the last monkey that kidnapped me... In the end he had me read the fortune of a bunch of his friends, but I didn't mind. One of them was kind of scary, but he was the nicest one of all of them! It was kind of strange that he said my hair was 'purdy' though.... foreigners can be strange sometimes!
Iyaa....I wonder what happened exactly? This isn't CG... I wonder if it is magic? .......uuuuun. No matter how hard I think about it I can't figure out how to get back on my own... maybe I can study my magic while I wait? I have to be careful not to do it when anyone is around! People say people go home all the time, but it wouldn't be good to go home as an ermine! Maah... I can't think so negatively! It isn't like I'm lost without food or water- there's even a tree that grows underwear, so I don't even have to worry about that! (A good thing too, I've gone through a lot of it in the last year!) Yeah! I just have to make the best of things, and everything will work out in the end!
Uwaaaa~ Diary, I have to go, the cutest little animal just asked me if I wanted to learn why his nickname is 'Tripod'! Maybe he's a photographer?

Character: Diana
Series: The Keeper's Chronicles series by Tanya Huff
Character Age: 18
Canon: Any time a person does something evil or something good, they punch holes in the fabric of reality. It is the job of the Keepers and their lesser brethren, the Cousins,to repair these holes before they cause the next Atlantis, Armageddon, or the next era of disco.
The second daughter of two Cousins, Diana is the most powerful Keeper alive. As the most powerful Keeper alive, you might think that Diana was one of those duty-is-all Keepers. Unfortunately for her parents' mental health, that's her older sister, Claire. Diana is the fun-loving, teenage Keeper, who still doesn't really know what she'sdoing but thinks she does. And that's a terrifying enough trait when the person involved doesn't have enough magical power to level small cities.
Note: I'm taking Diana from after the 2nd book. I have many long and complicated reasons for this, but they basically boil down to the third book sucked.
Sample post:
Sheesh it's not like they had to be that upset. It's not like the volcano would've really exploded just because of that. I stopped in plenty of time. Okay, so there was a small earthquake, but it's not like anyone died. Californians should be used to earthquakes. At least I've never accidentally created an angel by having sex with my boyfriend. I blame repression.
But hey, at least I get my own hole to close. Without supervision! Though I found the comment "At least you can't possibly make it any worse" totally unnecessary. I think my parents are still kind of pissed about the whole not chosen as the virgin sacrifice thing. Really, it's not like it was proof that I'd had sex. Isn't there any such thing as benefit of the doubt anymore?
Anyway! Hi there, my name's Diana and I'm here to help. Have you noticed anything weird - oh wow you're falling apart. I don't think I've seen a hole with zombies before. That's almost as old-fashioned as Claire's Hole to Hell in the basement. Bo-ring.
Oh, shush. No, you can't eat my brain. Look, you have plenty of your own brain. I can see it through the hole in your skull. You don't need mine.
Oops. I didn't mean to make him eat his own brain. That's kind of gross actually. Let's see… If he has some other brains he should stop eating his own. Right?
O-kay. Didn't mean to do that! Still, I gotta say that I've never seen a zombie melee deathwatch before. It's kind of fun.

Character: Yulie Ahtreide
Series: Wild ARMS 4
Character Age: 15
Canon: Wild ARMS 4 is the latest installment of high quality vore pornography brought to you by the same team that did Zombie Arms Gone Wild! ... okay, I'll start again. Wild ARMS 4 is a Japanese RPG where the four adolescent heroes stick it to the Man for not only turning their world into a desolate wasteland but for then deciding that it would be a good idea to use the Weapons of Mass Destruction (Filgaia, it's like North Korea in a way) to force the human race to evolve by exterminating most of it. This only makes sense in a Japanese RPG.
Yulie Ahtreide has the misfortune of being a Wild ARMS heroine and has the horrifically emo backstory to prove it! Despite being experimented on extensively as a child, Yulie is upbeat, determined and loves life, if a little quiet, lacking in confidence and reticent to share her worries and fears due to a guilt complex about how she's a crybaby who relies too much on others. Polite and soft-spoken, Yulie is considerate of other people's feelings, empathetic and essentially the "sweet innocent" that all RPGs seem to need.
Note for the application: There's a running theme in Yulie's story where she and her brother, Kresnik, have a song that only they know. Yulie sings it when she's feeling alone or to identify whether the person in front of her is really her brother.
Hello? Remember, Yulie, confidence. My name is Yulie Ahtreide and I'm here to learn self-confidence from your trained instructors. The Director must really want to make sure people want to be here; there were gorillas and moving trees and switches! I'm not really sure why every place we go to has switches in it, it doesn't seem to be a very good security system... But I found the house and was given my first assignment - I have to practice my singing. I don't know how they knew about that! I guess they must have done their research before accepting my application to study here. I - I wish he wouldn't say "Sing, my angel, sing!" as it's a little scary...
Oh, this isn't working! I need to be more confident! The mysterious teacher, the music, the white masks lying around, the trap doors that go to the basement ... they may be scary, but I need to stand on my own feet and not rely on anyone else. That's why I came to Camp Find Ur Drive. I can tell him that I don't want to sing today for him, I think, and that wouldn't be so bad. That might even be the test; I tell him that I don't want to sing today - but I'll be happy to do it tomorrow - and then I pass! I hope that's the case, as I'd feel very silly singing "the toucan of the opera is here, inside my mind". You wouldn't know where my teacher is, sir? Yes, please, I'd like a ...hand - oh. You got sick during the war. I'm sorry, I didn't know. But if you could tell me where to find him, I'd appreciate that. I don't think I can heal you - my ...they won't work like that, but I can ease you on afterwards, if you like? Oh no! I didn't mean to insult you, I'm so sorry. But, my teacher's beyond this door? Okay -
- oh! You're moulting? Ah ... yes, I see that, I'm sorry. I should have read the sign and realised ... yes, I suppose you are the toucan of the opera. Who is inside my mind and oh, you have such a dirty mind! I- I don't think I ... you shouldn't share such things. It's not ... it's not very nice to share these things with people. I'm sorry sir, but I'd prefer not to be your mistress - what about your lady toucan wife? Your wife's a horse? Well ... I'm very happy for you and hope you have a long and happy marriage! Aaaah, ah, no sir, I don't think I'd like to ... ah yes, I suppose I do love you, but not like that a-and I ...
I think I might have preferred the kidnapping.

Apparently, this was a joke, because he began rolling on the floor and literally laughing his ass off. That was just the fantastic icing on the wonderful cake that was my day. By the way, before any of you decide to be funny and ask for a piece, said cake tastes appaling. I don't plan on being here much longer, however; I've had enough of the "camp experience" to last me the rest of my life, thank you.
I should be leaving now. The sooner I get out of here, the better. You there, zombies that do not appear to have participated in “Zombies Gone Wild” or whatever you chose to call it; I insist that you show me the way out… o-of… he- …ahem. L-let… go… of my skirt. I… I… t-that didn't come out like I intended. I didn’t mean for you to “whisk me away from this dreadful place” like you had thought. That being said, sexual harassment will not be tolerated, I hope you know, and I have no problems with enforcing this policy by punching you in the face. No means no; not "harder" or "once more, please, sir!" I also- …
…No, I don't care that you thought I was asking for it. The school uniform does not come off.

Character: Konoe Konoka
Series: Mahou Sensei Negima!
Character Age: 15
Canon:Mild-mannered Konoe Konoka is a typical middle school student by day, but by night, she becomes-- ah, wait. That's not right at all. In actuality, Konoka is a very kind and understanding girl who usually believes the best in people, and not always due to her
naivety and innocence. She is one of the students of main character Negi Springfield,
and best friend to Asuna, the leading female, providing a contrast to her more violent
tendencies.
Daughter to a quite notable family, Konoka is used to having omiai (a meeting between
two people to consider an arranged marriage) held by her grandfather at her young age,
but believes that she is too young to be worrying about such things. Her interests
include fortune telling and exploring Mahora Academy's ruins-like library. Recently
she also found out about her family's magical heritage (being the daughter of the
heads of the Kansai Magic Association), and is currently studying Western magic, with
the hopes of using her innate magical talent, likely to help heal people.

Dear Diary,
Today was a busy day! I was just walking around campus when suddenly a swamp appeared out of nowhere! I tried calling for anyone, but no matter how far I walked there was nobody to be found! Then suddenly, a purple gorilla jumped out at me! It's embarrassing to admit but I screamed! 'Iyaaaaaaa--!' Like that! Luckily, he was a nice gorilla-san, and he asked me to divinate his future with tarot! I couldn't pass up such an interesting chance so of course I agreed! He didn't seem to happy that I kept drawing Death and The Lovers though...I wasn't even aware I had that many in my deck!
Once I told him that it wasn't a bad thing-- like in Romeo and Juliet-- he was nice again! So much nicer than the last monkey that kidnapped me... In the end he had me read the fortune of a bunch of his friends, but I didn't mind. One of them was kind of scary, but he was the nicest one of all of them! It was kind of strange that he said my hair was 'purdy' though.... foreigners can be strange sometimes!
Iyaa....I wonder what happened exactly? This isn't CG... I wonder if it is magic? .......uuuuun. No matter how hard I think about it I can't figure out how to get back on my own... maybe I can study my magic while I wait? I have to be careful not to do it when anyone is around! People say people go home all the time, but it wouldn't be good to go home as an ermine! Maah... I can't think so negatively! It isn't like I'm lost without food or water- there's even a tree that grows underwear, so I don't even have to worry about that! (A good thing too, I've gone through a lot of it in the last year!) Yeah! I just have to make the best of things, and everything will work out in the end!
Uwaaaa~ Diary, I have to go, the cutest little animal just asked me if I wanted to learn why his nickname is 'Tripod'! Maybe he's a photographer?

Character: Diana
Series: The Keeper's Chronicles series by Tanya Huff
Character Age: 18
Canon: Any time a person does something evil or something good, they punch holes in the fabric of reality. It is the job of the Keepers and their lesser brethren, the Cousins,to repair these holes before they cause the next Atlantis, Armageddon, or the next era of disco.
The second daughter of two Cousins, Diana is the most powerful Keeper alive. As the most powerful Keeper alive, you might think that Diana was one of those duty-is-all Keepers. Unfortunately for her parents' mental health, that's her older sister, Claire. Diana is the fun-loving, teenage Keeper, who still doesn't really know what she'sdoing but thinks she does. And that's a terrifying enough trait when the person involved doesn't have enough magical power to level small cities.
Note: I'm taking Diana from after the 2nd book. I have many long and complicated reasons for this, but they basically boil down to the third book sucked.
Sample post:
Sheesh it's not like they had to be that upset. It's not like the volcano would've really exploded just because of that. I stopped in plenty of time. Okay, so there was a small earthquake, but it's not like anyone died. Californians should be used to earthquakes. At least I've never accidentally created an angel by having sex with my boyfriend. I blame repression.
But hey, at least I get my own hole to close. Without supervision! Though I found the comment "At least you can't possibly make it any worse" totally unnecessary. I think my parents are still kind of pissed about the whole not chosen as the virgin sacrifice thing. Really, it's not like it was proof that I'd had sex. Isn't there any such thing as benefit of the doubt anymore?
Anyway! Hi there, my name's Diana and I'm here to help. Have you noticed anything weird - oh wow you're falling apart. I don't think I've seen a hole with zombies before. That's almost as old-fashioned as Claire's Hole to Hell in the basement. Bo-ring.
Oh, shush. No, you can't eat my brain. Look, you have plenty of your own brain. I can see it through the hole in your skull. You don't need mine.
Oops. I didn't mean to make him eat his own brain. That's kind of gross actually. Let's see… If he has some other brains he should stop eating his own. Right?
O-kay. Didn't mean to do that! Still, I gotta say that I've never seen a zombie melee deathwatch before. It's kind of fun.

Character: Yulie Ahtreide
Series: Wild ARMS 4
Character Age: 15
Canon: Wild ARMS 4 is the latest installment of high quality vore pornography brought to you by the same team that did Zombie Arms Gone Wild! ... okay, I'll start again. Wild ARMS 4 is a Japanese RPG where the four adolescent heroes stick it to the Man for not only turning their world into a desolate wasteland but for then deciding that it would be a good idea to use the Weapons of Mass Destruction (Filgaia, it's like North Korea in a way) to force the human race to evolve by exterminating most of it. This only makes sense in a Japanese RPG.
Yulie Ahtreide has the misfortune of being a Wild ARMS heroine and has the horrifically emo backstory to prove it! Despite being experimented on extensively as a child, Yulie is upbeat, determined and loves life, if a little quiet, lacking in confidence and reticent to share her worries and fears due to a guilt complex about how she's a crybaby who relies too much on others. Polite and soft-spoken, Yulie is considerate of other people's feelings, empathetic and essentially the "sweet innocent" that all RPGs seem to need.
Note for the application: There's a running theme in Yulie's story where she and her brother, Kresnik, have a song that only they know. Yulie sings it when she's feeling alone or to identify whether the person in front of her is really her brother.
Hello? Remember, Yulie, confidence. My name is Yulie Ahtreide and I'm here to learn self-confidence from your trained instructors. The Director must really want to make sure people want to be here; there were gorillas and moving trees and switches! I'm not really sure why every place we go to has switches in it, it doesn't seem to be a very good security system... But I found the house and was given my first assignment - I have to practice my singing. I don't know how they knew about that! I guess they must have done their research before accepting my application to study here. I - I wish he wouldn't say "Sing, my angel, sing!" as it's a little scary...
Oh, this isn't working! I need to be more confident! The mysterious teacher, the music, the white masks lying around, the trap doors that go to the basement ... they may be scary, but I need to stand on my own feet and not rely on anyone else. That's why I came to Camp Find Ur Drive. I can tell him that I don't want to sing today for him, I think, and that wouldn't be so bad. That might even be the test; I tell him that I don't want to sing today - but I'll be happy to do it tomorrow - and then I pass! I hope that's the case, as I'd feel very silly singing "the toucan of the opera is here, inside my mind". You wouldn't know where my teacher is, sir? Yes, please, I'd like a ...hand - oh. You got sick during the war. I'm sorry, I didn't know. But if you could tell me where to find him, I'd appreciate that. I don't think I can heal you - my ...they won't work like that, but I can ease you on afterwards, if you like? Oh no! I didn't mean to insult you, I'm so sorry. But, my teacher's beyond this door? Okay -
- oh! You're moulting? Ah ... yes, I see that, I'm sorry. I should have read the sign and realised ... yes, I suppose you are the toucan of the opera. Who is inside my mind and oh, you have such a dirty mind! I- I don't think I ... you shouldn't share such things. It's not ... it's not very nice to share these things with people. I'm sorry sir, but I'd prefer not to be your mistress - what about your lady toucan wife? Your wife's a horse? Well ... I'm very happy for you and hope you have a long and happy marriage! Aaaah, ah, no sir, I don't think I'd like to ... ah yes, I suppose I do love you, but not like that a-and I ...
I think I might have preferred the kidnapping.
