Character: The Beast
Series: Disney's Beauty and the Beast
Character Age: 19-20 - his rose will bloom 'until his 21st year'
Canon: Once upon a time in a far away land, a young prince lived in a shining castle. Or at least that's how it used to be. After foolishly insulting an enchantress in disguise, the prince was turned into a hideous beast, and his castle and all who lived in it were cursed. The beast-prince was left with a single enchanted rose, and a warning: if he could not learn the meaning of true love by the time the last petal fell, he would be a beast forever.
At first glance the enchantress' spell didn't really teach the Beast a lesson - he's less spoiled, selfish and unkind, but isn't exactly a model citizen. He's forgotten a lot about being civilized, if he ever paid enough attention to learn about things like using a spoon and not howling after midnight. Angry and despairing, he's prone to fits of rage over trivial things and tends to sulk and growl when he realizes he's done something he shouldn't have. But the Beast has a good heart, even if he struggles to show the softer side of his nature. Often he does not even bother to try - no matter what he does, who could ever love a beast?
The Beast is being taken from just after he captures Belle.
Sample post:
Where is my CASTLE?!
Where are my servants? Bring them back right now or I'll - I'll tear down your camp! All of it! I'll get you, little bird...things. And your 'flea collars' too. My mother wasn't a lion, a tiger or a bear and will you stop saying 'oh my'? Be silent and BRING BACK MY CASTLE.
....rrrrrrrr. Fine. Bring back the castle...please. I'm waiting. And bring back my servants too. All of them. Now. NOW!
Those aren't my servants. I don't know what those are. My servants are a candlestick, a teapot, a clock - no, I haven't thrown him out the window. I'm not some kind of mons - no, I don't want to see time fly. That wasn't funny.
What are you staring at? Haven't you ever seen a beast before? You haven't ever seen a beast that isn't purple. How many beasts do you have here? Over nine thousand? The enchantress...What sort of place is this? Are you all under a spell? Tell me. You must know how to break it. You have to - to kiss a prince, or go on a quest, or -
'Yiff the furry'? What? NO. Don't touch me. None of you. I don't care if it won't hurt a bit. What do you mean, doggy style? Get away from me. You too, fluffy yellow birds! Go away and leave me alone! Not the fur, not the fur, you're going to singe -
Now look what you've done. Do you know how long that will take to grow back? Of course I have a furry tail. Had a furry tail until you - oh, fairytale. Fine. A fairytale. Someone told me one, once...
...A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, a young princess lived in a muggy swamp. Although she had everything her heart desired, she also had a young prince who drove her insane, and far too much to do to worry much about him. Then one day, the young prince fell into a deep, deep sleep, so deep that the princess thought he was dead. Furious, she summoned gods, magicians, witches, murderers and warriors, trying to find the one who had taken her prince from her. At last, though none could save him, a loudspeaker...what's a loudspeaker? Oh...a loudspeaker told her there were only two ways to break the spell: find another handsome prince to kiss him or -
Don't interrupt when I'm doing you a favour - I said NO! You cannot yiff the furry!
What does that even mean.

Character: Belle
Series: Disney's Beauty and the Beast
Character Age: 18-19 (best estimate)
Canon: Once upon a time, which is how all good stories start, there was a handsome prince, who was as unkind as he was handsome. The prince was rude, spoiled, and generally unkind. So, as happens in all good stories, an enchantress had something to say about his horrible behavior. And so, to teach the young prince a lesson, she turned him into a horrible, monstrous beast. His servants did not escape the enchantress' spell either - they were transformed into any and all manner of household items, and would remain so until a young woman learned to love the Beast, and earned his love in return.
Enter a lovely young woman named Belle. She's the daughter of an eccentric inventor, and everyone in her poor provencial town considers her to be more than a bit odd. Belle is intelligent, forthright, kind and helpful. She prefers the company of books to that of the town beefcake, and has Big Plans for adventure in the "great wide somewhere," which are pretty much dashed when she's taken prisoner by the Beast. Or are they?
Note: Belle will be taken from directly after being taken prisoner by the Beast.

...Well, at least I understand now why the West Wing is forbidden. "The Master is hiding nothing!" --Hmph! Nothing but a whole new world!
This place is amazing - I've never seen anything like it, and after singing, dancing cutlery, that's saying something. Granted, nothing here seems to be singing or dancing, except for maybe the zombies, and they're groaning a little more than they're singing (I wonder what kind of enchantment they're under). I almost thought the trees were going to join in with the zombies dance number, but I don't think the zombies were interested in the kind of... dancing the trees had in mind. I really hope it was dancing...
I decided to leave the zombies alone with their wood so I could explore the camp a little more, and it took no time at all before I discovered the library! It's... very different from the bookshop in town, but I suppose that really shouldn't surprise me. The collection of books was truly amazing - stories written about other times and places, and some even written in other times and places! The books don't sing, or even talk, but they do perform historical re-enactments, and occasionally bite. I got a paper-cut when a cookbook tried to sample my finger for some strange soup recipe. ...I think I'd prefer to eat in the castle.
I did discover one little novel that was much friendlier than the rest. It was rubbing against my ankle, and when I picked it up, it said something that sounded like "iyaaan dame dame." I... don't know what that means, but it seemed happy enough to have someone read it. And it definitely seemed like the kind of book I'd like: magical enchantments, daring rescues, and even an ogre and a beanstalk! But, hmm, I... I'm not really sure the beanstalk is supposed to... go there.

Character: Mihashi Ren
Series: Ookiku Furikabutte
Character Age: 15
Canon: Sometimes, boys love girls. And sometimes, boys love... baseball? So says the opening theme song of Ookiku Furikabutte, anyway! Which makes more sense in context, because Oofuri is one of those typical sports series with a focus on teamwork, friendship, and a brand new team of highschool rookies with big dreams. In this case, the team is Nishiura High, and the dream is to make it big in the summer finals, despite the fact that most these boys had never played together before their first day of practice.
You might expect the protagonist of a story like this to be the genius player who ties the team together with his confidence and skill, but this could hardly be further from the truth. Mihashi is baseball's version of a dummy savant: although he can locate his pitches with incredible accuracy, everything else he does is average or below. Worse still, three years of being reviled by his Junior High team left him with no self-confidence at all. Mihashi is a nervous person who stumbles, starts, and stutters his way through life, always ready to think the worst of himself. Still, somewhere deep inside he possesses a fierce determination (not to say a stubborn streak) and will never find fault with the actions of others. Despite his crippling shyness, and with the help of his teammates, he may still be able to blossom into a true Ace.
Greetings... thank you for having me. I. I know I should feel good just being here. It's an honor. It must be a mistake. Either way, I've already ruined it. My name is... Mihashi, and...
P-Please forgive me for what I've done to your laundry!
I'm sorry I was selfish, I wanted to find a place to stay before my first night here, and before everyone told me everyone told me a guy like me wasn't a good enough roommate. It's not that I think you'd be unreasonable. There's a lot of reasons why nobody should have to put up with me. I'm not very good at keeping my room clean, it's really hard to make me do my share of the chores, and besides when it comes to camp activities I'll be hopeless. I don't even know any ghost stories, nobody could hear them over the sound of my teeth chattering. And my underwear... i-it's so boring that if you ran it up a pole the wind wouldn't blow.
But when I saw inside of the laundromat I... didn't feel so bad, suddenly? The "abandon soap all who enter" sign was a little much- I mean! I'm sorry, I didn't mean that there was anything wrong with it. Some of you are naturally neat and some of you aren't, but that's normal. Its good to make jokes about it, right? I'm... not neat. But I thought maybe I could make a good impression by sorting through those piles of clothes just lying over in the corner.
I separated everything into whites and color, just like my mom does. Anything that had blood on it I put aside soaked in cold water the way you're supposed to! Besides the mud and the blood, there were some tentacles in the back pockets of some of the pants; you must be really messy eaters. None of the stains exactly came out, but you can't really tell anymore because the shirts are glowing so brightly. Is that supposed to happen? I must be terrible at cleaning, I never got anything to do that before. Then with the socks... two categories weren't enough. I would have needed to do white, colored, and... c-crusty. But I really didn't want to go that far, I mean, I didn't even want to think about it! I. I. I just threw them in with your white clothing! Some of those socks probably had color under everything else, or more blood? But I didn't realize it. Anyway one of them must have been red, because... these shirts. They're all pink now.
Wait a minute. Is this one inside out? It says something on the other side. R-Real Men Wear Pink? Then I didn't ruin it and it was always this way! It. It makes sense. After all if real men do it, I can see how I wouldn't even know about it, but I must have insulted everyone. Then...
P-Please forgive me for being a girly man who has never worn pink before!

Character Name: Jack Russell
Series: Radiata Stories
Character Age: 16
Canon: Since as far back as anybody could remember, humans and non-humans have coexisted in dissonant harmony. The non-humans, which include orcs, goblins, dwarves and elves, lived alongside nature and maintained long-lasting stability and harmony. The humans, with their desire to advance themselves, built a large city and expanded their understanding of the land, science and magic. Through their endeavors, they were able to create small new technological advances and creations. Yet, as human civilization begins to expand beyond what the natural order intended it, like the dreaded horsemen of the apocalypse, the four dragons come to tear it all down. Indeed, the first dragon has already appeared… only to be slain by the legendary Cairn Russell.
Then there’s Jack Russell, the son of Cairn. Though now he is under the shadow of his father’s glory, it is Jack’s mission to surpass him. He’s not off to a good start, though, as a a series of events flung him from being an apprentice in the Radiata Knights. Now a member of Theater Vancoor, the Warrior’s guild, Jack is confronted with the challenge of what to do to become great. Will he raise the flag for humans and gain the fame and prestige that goes along with being a hero? Or is there something else that is worth fighting for on the non-human side? Indeed, Jack’s personality reflects these two paths. In most instances he is cocky, forthright, and proud - completely confident that he will be the greatest and with a bad habit of speaking any thought that comes into his head. Yet, he can also be the exact opposite, showing great sympathy and compassion to those around him when they are in great need. But will that REALLY get you famous?
Note: Thanos is in charge of mission assignments for Theater Vancoor. He has a tendency to hand out jobs based on how much he likes the person…
Sample:
Alright Thanos, what’s the deal? You weren’t serious with this last part right? “Wanted: Intrepid Warrior to seek out missing persons. Numerous people have been entering the marshlands of the Elven Region never to be seen of again. Will take anybody willing to find them - public nuisances preferred but not necessary.” If I didn’t know better, I would think that you were trying to get rid of me. But you wouldn’t do that now, would you? Aw man, this isn’t payback for the whole incident with the crocogator and the goat, is it? I totally was going to clean that up… when I was done with a mission or two… Geez, it’s not like I knew it would make such a big mess…
Well, even if you are trying to get rid of me, the only thing to do is to get started on the mission. I can do this! After all, I was a Radiata Knight! There’s nothing I can’t handle! Though I have to admit I don’t think I’ve ever seen the trees and plants to be like they were back home… and the “Abandon hope all that enter” did sort of give me the willies... and there’s a feeling that something creepy is following me around. Whoa, maybe the swamp is haunted? Oh crap, I don’t think I’ve ever had to fight a ghost before. Can you even attack a ghost? What with the whole going invisible thing, but I guess they do leave a trail of slime so maybe they can be hit?
You know, come to think of it, I bet I could beat a ghost if I really wanted to. I mean, if they can hit me I could definitely hit them! That’s common sense, after all. Hey, if I can kill a ghost, that’d make me super famous! Then I’ll be known as “Jack the Ghostslayer,” or OH maybe even “The Jacksorcist!” I could totally get used to that. Come out little ghosties. I just want to send you back where you belong~
Hey, a clearing! Maybe if I head out there, I will be able to find a haunted house or something. Then you ghosts will be sorry! Huh… whoa, what’s with the city? There are people living out here? But why would anyone want to live in this dump? Hmm…
I got it! The only reason why they would be living out here is because there’s a hidden dungeon full of dangerous monsters and really rare treasure and people from all over Radiata come here to explore the ruins. Except the place is reeeeeally old (older then Pops, even!) and probably full of dangerous traps and super scary ghosts. So I guess work has to be slow and at the end of a day of exploring, they probably come to that town and eat, drink and have wild parties. Still, that’s a very big city for just one ruin. The ruin would have to be really big and old and probably has really cool treasure. I bet you can find a super power mega ultimate golden brand-name thing-a-ma-thing from a long-lost civilization - and who knows what else! This is exactly the kind of opportunity I’ve been waiting for!
Look out tiny village in the middle of nowhere, here comes Jack Russell!!

Character: Nana Osaki
Series: Nana
Character Age: 20
Canon: The manga “Nana” is a tale of two girls who share the same name, but have two completely different personalities. Brought together by fate, or by the “Demon Lord” as Nana Komatsu would opt to say, the two girls come to live together after a chance meeting on a train and then a chance reunion at the apartment they’re both interested in. With more love triangles and drama then you can shake a stick at, “Nana” is essentially the soap opera of the manga world. But in that good way that touches you at night.
So what do you do when you’re expelled from school on false prostitution charges and your legal guardian dies? If you’re Nana Osaki then the obvious answer is to don a red dress, join a rock band, and shack up with a hot Sid Vicious wannabe before eventually making your way to Tokyo with your band to take over the music industry. Nana Osaki is the rebellious and antisocial one of the series two namesakes, she is not the type to wear her heart on her sleeve. To those who don’t know her, she may come off as cold, unwelcoming, and rude. Unbelievably driven to achieve her dream of musical success, Nana is a force to be reckoned with.
Sample Entry:
…..what a dump. I’m not some uppity little princess who only wants to sing in palaces, but this place is a hole!!! And considering some of the pits I’ve sung in, that’s saying something!
Oh well, all that matters is that I get my voice heard, right? All I have to say is that the others better show their sorry asses up here too, it isn’t a band with just a vocalist, and I’m pretty sure whoever this “Director” that booked us is won’t be happy to see just little old me. Although I’m starting to think she booked the wrong band. With all the people wandering around in tacky purple fur coats and all the guys walking hand in hand, you’d think it was the second coming of Wham!
The crowd is starting to get rowdy, well, as rowdy as a bunch of emaciated, half naked, green tinted kids can get. They’re throwing all sorts of presents on the stage; everything from whistles to signed pictures of Frank Miller (what kind of crowd is this?). I can even hear them chanting, sure it’s not my name, but hey, at least they’re excited for….brains? Oh man, is this some sort of themed show? I don’t do that visual kei crap. If they expect me to come prancing out on stage in a flurry of feathers and freaky sad clown makeup, they’ve got the wrong girl! Obviously I’m going to have to start booking our jobs by myself, if I let those dead weights back into the band after this whole disaster that is. They’d better come crawling back on their hands and knees, then maybe I’ll consider it.
What? NO!!!! That is not some sort of kinky fantas- Where the hell did you get your manners from?! Didn’t your mother teach you that a girl’s monologue, inner or not, is a private and special thing? Get out of here, sheesh! People these days! They think just because you’re talking out loud that they’re aloud to listen and comment! Whatever happened to the good old days when someone could prattle on forever to themselves without interruption? Besides, who let those kids backstage? If I get back to my dressing room and find them going through my luggage, I’m suing this place. Or worse yet, some crazed fan hiding in my closet. Don’t think I haven’t seen the movies!!!! Popular rising star comes to a small town, goes back to her room to find that the powers been cut, her cell phone isn’t getting service, and next thing you know some dude in a dress and women’s underwear bursts into your bathroom and stabs you in the shower; not unlikely considering quite a few of the guys I’ve seen here are wearing dresses already (don’t think I couldn’t tell). Or worse yet, this could be one of those panty dealing rings….
That’s it! Show or no show, I’m getting my ass out of here before this turns into some cheesy daytime movie about abduction, murder and showing the cops on the doll where it touched you. And NO, I am not waiting to find out what IT is, no matter how comfortable your park benches are.

Character: Momotaros
Series: Kamen Rider Den-O
Character Age: Unknown
Canon: When the timestream is being raped by Imagin - monsters who are fighting to change the future by destroying the past, it's left up to Kamen Rider Den-O to defeat them and save the world. But what do you do when the world's future rests in the hands of a wimp who can't go a day without falling on his face? You let the "good" Imagin fight for him.
This is how Nogami Ryoutarou, the boy behind the Kamen Rider mask, comes to be eventually possessed by four Imagin. Momotaros, a loud, arrogant, and hot-headed Imagin who would rather just fight to his heart's content, is the first to possess our "hero". While he puts on a tough guy act most of the time and takes over Ryoutarou's body numerous times just to find strong opponents, deep down Momotaros is a softy. A gullible softy who's constantly topped by both women and the other Imagin he fights alongside with.
As Den-O's "Sword Form," Momotaros is a dependable fighter who's willing to fight to the limit. Considering he starts off every appearance with variations of "I have arrived!", yells retarded catch phrases about his climax, and comes up with finishing moves numbered from one to five - not including four because it isn't cool enough - however, it's pretty easy to see why a lot of Den-O's enemies don't take Momotaros seriously. That is, until he's kicking their ass.
Sample Post:
That was pathetic. No, pathetic wouldn't work . . . disappointing? Retarded? No, no, I don't think there's a word for how much that fight sucked! What the hell was that anyway?! Are you a rookie or something? Don't you know better than to challenge someone when you don't even know what you're doing? If that's what you call fighting, you're doing it wrong! Completely wrong! Just sit there and lick your wounds -- eww, not literally, cut that out! - while I tell you exactly how wrong you did it.
First there's your entrance, which is the second worst thing you've done today! What kind of guy falls apart before the battle even begins? And literally, too - that's not sucking, that's just plain gross, man. If you can't keep it together before you even get through challenging someone, what makes you think you'll last through the first few punches? And then you've gotta worry about gathering up all the pieces afterwards and -- ugh, how can you live like that? Idiot!
And on the topic of idiots - your pre-battle speech was full of idiocy! Who the hell yells "braaains" when they charge at someone? I don't care if you're smart or not, the only thing I care about is how strong you are! Smarts have no place in a real fight anyway - keep that in mind the next time you go off attacking someone. They'll take you a lot more seriously if you come up with something cool to say. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about. Maybe if you use those smarts of yours for something like that, you'll at least put your opponent on guard next time, not make an ass of yourself.
-- Hey! Are you even listening?! You better be, I was leading into the most important part!
The number one thing you did wrong today? YOU INSULTED MY CATCHPHRASE. You never make fun of someone's catchphrase! It's like, the number one rule in the book of fighting! The catchphrase makes the fighter, and it's a blow to a guy's honor when you do that. If you've got a problem with my climax, keep it to yourself! I don't wanna hear anything about how you can show me a real climax, especially when you say it with that kind of look - cocky bastard, you're talking to the master of climaxes here! If you think you know what a climax is, you haven't seen anything yet!
That's it, I'm all fired up again! And look, you pulled yourself together just in time! After a long-ass conversation with a complete idiot, I have arrived! So come at me with everything you've got and I'll show you what a real climax is!

Character: Prince Sieg
Series: Kamen Rider Den-O
Character Age: Unknown
Canon: Remember Power Rangers? A bunch of kids running around in bright colored tights with robotic fighting machines trying to save the world and still make it home in time for dinner? Kamen Rider is a slightly gayer version of this tried and true superhero classic, with a few differences. Instead of five kids, you have one bad-luck-prone Ryoutarou Nogami, who finds out one day that he's Kamen Rider, destined to work with and against futuristic creatures called Imagin in order to protect Time. Granting the wishes of humans, Imagin use their powers to travel in time and protect or destroy a person's most precious memory. Or for poor timid Ryoutarou, use his body as a medium for joyriding to pick up stray cats, dogs and girls (or Imagin in the case of Sieg).
Sieg, who prefers that others call him "Prince", is a swan Imagin with a princely manner, perpetually falling shoujo feathers and the catchphrase "Advent, to the top!" He's a proud Imagin, holding high, if somewhat skewed, ideals as per his noble personality. He has a haughty way of speaking and considers himself noble, majestic and not only worthy, but expectant of being fawned upon. In reality, he's fiercely loyal and dedicated, often appearing to elegantly offer aid, but is easily infuriated by any form of disrespect or interruption, leading him to use his extraordinary ability to shrink other Imagin into 4" versions of themselves with the phrase "Your head is too high!" Although easily mistaken to be self-centered, Sieg cares greatly for those around him, referring to those he's deemed worthy as his "Family" and girls he admires as his "Princesses". Everyone else is stuck working their way up from peasanthood.
Sample Post:
Hear me, peasants. This appears to be a new land to me, for I can not remember how I arrived here. But it matters not. Come, you may have the honor of being my servants. No need to fall over yourselves with gratitude; I am kind, I know. And though the idea is thoughtful, offering your hands, feet, eyes, and scraps of rotting clothes is unnecessary, for I only require your absolute obedience and submission. All of you--your appearance is pitiful and your movements lacking in grace and refinement. However, I shall reward you with my continued presence. Advent forward then, undead minions, with or without your heads. You do not need to fret any longer, for I shall be your new master.
Looking out for ways to please his master is a servant's joyful duty, even for one without actual eyes. What interesting gifts of this time do you wish to present to your prince then? The most beautiful maiden of your realm? Ah, that she is the most beautiful is to be expected, as I deserve only the best. All worlds, even one in as desperate need of my presence as this one, revolve around me. Now, you say this Princess has been tragically entrapped in the body of a monster. With such a tragic tale, she must be an extraordinary and unique character. She shall be worthy of my attention. You may lead me to her then, peasants. Your devotion is to be well rewarded. As there is no greater reward that can be bestowed than the praise of a prince- good work, peasants.
Oh lovely Princess, cower in the waters no more for I, Prince Sieg, am here! No sorcerer shall bring tears to your enchantingly vile face, nor keep you locked away in that beastly shape. I pledge myself to you, so hear me now and I shall break you free from the evil that entraps you. Though your current body is grotesque and nauseating to look upon, much like this land you live in, I shall forgive you. Ah yes, I can see that you are much too grateful at becoming my Princess to voice your thanks. But there is no need to splash in your excitement and gratitude-
... What is this? You have the audacity to lay your tentacles upon my heavenly body? How dare you strike your Prince without reason! You are no Princess! Do not wave your tentacles around in protest now. Interrupting my grace without a word of apology, what rudeness! Very well then, I shall right my wrong, rude peasants. You! You shall kneel before me! Your head is too high!
... I feel the placement of your head now to be too invasive. Lower it further.

Character: Urataros
Series: Kamen Rider Den-O
Age: Unknown.
Canon: Thought you'd left behind the shows of your childhood, when teenagers with strong moral values spent their free time fighting evil monsters with the inexplicable tendency to explode upon defeat? Well, they're back and Kamen Rider Den-O has put a new twist on an old favorite. While Den-O may have the classic "boy by day, crime-fighter by spandex" formula, it's handed over fighting power and camera time to a select few time-traveling monsters, known as Imagin, who've decided that fighting for good's got a little more appeal than taking over the world. Besides, when your lead man's a guy who manages to get his bike stuck up a tree, the world can use all the help it can get.
Of the four main Imagin who fight alongside our hero, Urataros is a turtle Imagin and the proud owner of Kamen Rider's "Rod Form". When not exploding other Imagin with his flying kicks as Kamen Rider, Urataros is the quick-witted and collected member of the group, with a heavy tendency to spout out fishing metaphors. Unfortunately, having brains doesn't excuse him from being just as retarded as the rest of the Imagin, considering that he has his own catchphrase and signature pose.
At the base of Urataros' personality is his preference to lie; Urataros has said that he "lies so he can lie" and keeps his intentions well hidden, which earns him a suspicious eye from his fellow Imagin. This secrecy, however, tends to lay forgotten under the fact he's also a complete playboy. On the positive side, Urataros' ability to lie and flirt have been of some use to their cause, as he's often called upon to do the schmoozing whenever information is needed. On the negative, it never gets any less awkward each time Ryoutarou regains control of his body to find perfume on his neck and five phone numbers in his hand.
Sample Post:
The most precious sight to me has always been the look on my mother's face when I would bring flowers home for her as a child. It's a tender memory from my past that has tied itself strongly to my heart, but, it's strange. Your smile, so simple and yet so lovely, is already making its way deep inside me, filling the gap left behind when my mother died. So it's I who should be thanking you for giving me the warmth of your gentle smile. That is why I find it so painful to have to say that here is where we must part our ways. But we'll have a next time, won't we Marcy?
... Aaa, I've said that a single lie is more interesting in life than a thousand truths, but she was possibly the most interesting truth I have ever met. One who lived up to every tale spoken of her, even right to the affectionate touches she was said to give so eagerly. But it seems that, just like so many times, there lay a lie in this truth as well. There was very little "bad" in my opinion. Or rather, her touch was exploratory at most, and apparently she wasn't sure where to begin with a form like mine. She showed interest when I mentioned my Rod Form; few people have been considerate of her own wishes, it seems. Well, dealing with wishes are what Imagin are best at. It's only appropriate that I'll be the one to reel her in, tentacles and all.
But who could have predicted that there would have been truths behind the words of that man by the lake. He seemed to know a lot about the area, for a grown man dressed as a giant turtle. I would have stayed a little longer and fish out a little more from him, but he became rather insistent about diving into the lake to an underwater palace. The offer to ride on his back didn't make staying around any more appealing. Nor was the one to ride on his front.
Still, a lake that glows and birds that speak through your mind sound like lines that are too weakly cast for even a person like me to work with, but in this place they're the honest truth. I can only assume that the people here will be of a different state of mind as well, if my encounters from before were anything to judge by. I guess that leaves me with no choice but to go along with things. Only the stubborn fish fights the flow of the current.
Ah, but thinking so much about this leads to nowhere. A fisherman can catch no fish without first casting his line, after all. Well then, camp, wasn't it? Won't you let me reel you in with my sweet bait?
... Marcy, as good as it is to see you again, that wasn't a literal request.

Canon: Once upon a time in a far away land, a young prince lived in a shining castle. Or at least that's how it used to be. After foolishly insulting an enchantress in disguise, the prince was turned into a hideous beast, and his castle and all who lived in it were cursed. The beast-prince was left with a single enchanted rose, and a warning: if he could not learn the meaning of true love by the time the last petal fell, he would be a beast forever.
At first glance the enchantress' spell didn't really teach the Beast a lesson - he's less spoiled, selfish and unkind, but isn't exactly a model citizen. He's forgotten a lot about being civilized, if he ever paid enough attention to learn about things like using a spoon and not howling after midnight. Angry and despairing, he's prone to fits of rage over trivial things and tends to sulk and growl when he realizes he's done something he shouldn't have. But the Beast has a good heart, even if he struggles to show the softer side of his nature. Often he does not even bother to try - no matter what he does, who could ever love a beast?
The Beast is being taken from just after he captures Belle.

Where is my CASTLE?!
Where are my servants? Bring them back right now or I'll - I'll tear down your camp! All of it! I'll get you, little bird...things. And your 'flea collars' too. My mother wasn't a lion, a tiger or a bear and will you stop saying 'oh my'? Be silent and BRING BACK MY CASTLE.
....rrrrrrrr. Fine. Bring back the castle...please. I'm waiting. And bring back my servants too. All of them. Now. NOW!
Those aren't my servants. I don't know what those are. My servants are a candlestick, a teapot, a clock - no, I haven't thrown him out the window. I'm not some kind of mons - no, I don't want to see time fly. That wasn't funny.
What are you staring at? Haven't you ever seen a beast before? You haven't ever seen a beast that isn't purple. How many beasts do you have here? Over nine thousand? The enchantress...What sort of place is this? Are you all under a spell? Tell me. You must know how to break it. You have to - to kiss a prince, or go on a quest, or -
'Yiff the furry'? What? NO. Don't touch me. None of you. I don't care if it won't hurt a bit. What do you mean, doggy style? Get away from me. You too, fluffy yellow birds! Go away and leave me alone! Not the fur, not the fur, you're going to singe -
Now look what you've done. Do you know how long that will take to grow back? Of course I have a furry tail. Had a furry tail until you - oh, fairytale. Fine. A fairytale. Someone told me one, once...
...A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, a young princess lived in a muggy swamp. Although she had everything her heart desired, she also had a young prince who drove her insane, and far too much to do to worry much about him. Then one day, the young prince fell into a deep, deep sleep, so deep that the princess thought he was dead. Furious, she summoned gods, magicians, witches, murderers and warriors, trying to find the one who had taken her prince from her. At last, though none could save him, a loudspeaker...what's a loudspeaker? Oh...a loudspeaker told her there were only two ways to break the spell: find another handsome prince to kiss him or -
Don't interrupt when I'm doing you a favour - I said NO! You cannot yiff the furry!
What does that even mean.

Character: Belle
Series: Disney's Beauty and the Beast
Character Age: 18-19 (best estimate)
Canon: Once upon a time, which is how all good stories start, there was a handsome prince, who was as unkind as he was handsome. The prince was rude, spoiled, and generally unkind. So, as happens in all good stories, an enchantress had something to say about his horrible behavior. And so, to teach the young prince a lesson, she turned him into a horrible, monstrous beast. His servants did not escape the enchantress' spell either - they were transformed into any and all manner of household items, and would remain so until a young woman learned to love the Beast, and earned his love in return.
Enter a lovely young woman named Belle. She's the daughter of an eccentric inventor, and everyone in her poor provencial town considers her to be more than a bit odd. Belle is intelligent, forthright, kind and helpful. She prefers the company of books to that of the town beefcake, and has Big Plans for adventure in the "great wide somewhere," which are pretty much dashed when she's taken prisoner by the Beast. Or are they?
Note: Belle will be taken from directly after being taken prisoner by the Beast.

...Well, at least I understand now why the West Wing is forbidden. "The Master is hiding nothing!" --Hmph! Nothing but a whole new world!
This place is amazing - I've never seen anything like it, and after singing, dancing cutlery, that's saying something. Granted, nothing here seems to be singing or dancing, except for maybe the zombies, and they're groaning a little more than they're singing (I wonder what kind of enchantment they're under). I almost thought the trees were going to join in with the zombies dance number, but I don't think the zombies were interested in the kind of... dancing the trees had in mind. I really hope it was dancing...
I decided to leave the zombies alone with their wood so I could explore the camp a little more, and it took no time at all before I discovered the library! It's... very different from the bookshop in town, but I suppose that really shouldn't surprise me. The collection of books was truly amazing - stories written about other times and places, and some even written in other times and places! The books don't sing, or even talk, but they do perform historical re-enactments, and occasionally bite. I got a paper-cut when a cookbook tried to sample my finger for some strange soup recipe. ...I think I'd prefer to eat in the castle.
I did discover one little novel that was much friendlier than the rest. It was rubbing against my ankle, and when I picked it up, it said something that sounded like "iyaaan dame dame." I... don't know what that means, but it seemed happy enough to have someone read it. And it definitely seemed like the kind of book I'd like: magical enchantments, daring rescues, and even an ogre and a beanstalk! But, hmm, I... I'm not really sure the beanstalk is supposed to... go there.

Character: Mihashi Ren
Series: Ookiku Furikabutte
Character Age: 15
Canon: Sometimes, boys love girls. And sometimes, boys love... baseball? So says the opening theme song of Ookiku Furikabutte, anyway! Which makes more sense in context, because Oofuri is one of those typical sports series with a focus on teamwork, friendship, and a brand new team of highschool rookies with big dreams. In this case, the team is Nishiura High, and the dream is to make it big in the summer finals, despite the fact that most these boys had never played together before their first day of practice.
You might expect the protagonist of a story like this to be the genius player who ties the team together with his confidence and skill, but this could hardly be further from the truth. Mihashi is baseball's version of a dummy savant: although he can locate his pitches with incredible accuracy, everything else he does is average or below. Worse still, three years of being reviled by his Junior High team left him with no self-confidence at all. Mihashi is a nervous person who stumbles, starts, and stutters his way through life, always ready to think the worst of himself. Still, somewhere deep inside he possesses a fierce determination (not to say a stubborn streak) and will never find fault with the actions of others. Despite his crippling shyness, and with the help of his teammates, he may still be able to blossom into a true Ace.
Greetings... thank you for having me. I. I know I should feel good just being here. It's an honor. It must be a mistake. Either way, I've already ruined it. My name is... Mihashi, and...
P-Please forgive me for what I've done to your laundry!
I'm sorry I was selfish, I wanted to find a place to stay before my first night here, and before everyone told me everyone told me a guy like me wasn't a good enough roommate. It's not that I think you'd be unreasonable. There's a lot of reasons why nobody should have to put up with me. I'm not very good at keeping my room clean, it's really hard to make me do my share of the chores, and besides when it comes to camp activities I'll be hopeless. I don't even know any ghost stories, nobody could hear them over the sound of my teeth chattering. And my underwear... i-it's so boring that if you ran it up a pole the wind wouldn't blow.
But when I saw inside of the laundromat I... didn't feel so bad, suddenly? The "abandon soap all who enter" sign was a little much- I mean! I'm sorry, I didn't mean that there was anything wrong with it. Some of you are naturally neat and some of you aren't, but that's normal. Its good to make jokes about it, right? I'm... not neat. But I thought maybe I could make a good impression by sorting through those piles of clothes just lying over in the corner.
I separated everything into whites and color, just like my mom does. Anything that had blood on it I put aside soaked in cold water the way you're supposed to! Besides the mud and the blood, there were some tentacles in the back pockets of some of the pants; you must be really messy eaters. None of the stains exactly came out, but you can't really tell anymore because the shirts are glowing so brightly. Is that supposed to happen? I must be terrible at cleaning, I never got anything to do that before. Then with the socks... two categories weren't enough. I would have needed to do white, colored, and... c-crusty. But I really didn't want to go that far, I mean, I didn't even want to think about it! I. I. I just threw them in with your white clothing! Some of those socks probably had color under everything else, or more blood? But I didn't realize it. Anyway one of them must have been red, because... these shirts. They're all pink now.
Wait a minute. Is this one inside out? It says something on the other side. R-Real Men Wear Pink? Then I didn't ruin it and it was always this way! It. It makes sense. After all if real men do it, I can see how I wouldn't even know about it, but I must have insulted everyone. Then...
P-Please forgive me for being a girly man who has never worn pink before!

Character Name: Jack Russell
Series: Radiata Stories
Character Age: 16
Canon: Since as far back as anybody could remember, humans and non-humans have coexisted in dissonant harmony. The non-humans, which include orcs, goblins, dwarves and elves, lived alongside nature and maintained long-lasting stability and harmony. The humans, with their desire to advance themselves, built a large city and expanded their understanding of the land, science and magic. Through their endeavors, they were able to create small new technological advances and creations. Yet, as human civilization begins to expand beyond what the natural order intended it, like the dreaded horsemen of the apocalypse, the four dragons come to tear it all down. Indeed, the first dragon has already appeared… only to be slain by the legendary Cairn Russell.
Then there’s Jack Russell, the son of Cairn. Though now he is under the shadow of his father’s glory, it is Jack’s mission to surpass him. He’s not off to a good start, though, as a a series of events flung him from being an apprentice in the Radiata Knights. Now a member of Theater Vancoor, the Warrior’s guild, Jack is confronted with the challenge of what to do to become great. Will he raise the flag for humans and gain the fame and prestige that goes along with being a hero? Or is there something else that is worth fighting for on the non-human side? Indeed, Jack’s personality reflects these two paths. In most instances he is cocky, forthright, and proud - completely confident that he will be the greatest and with a bad habit of speaking any thought that comes into his head. Yet, he can also be the exact opposite, showing great sympathy and compassion to those around him when they are in great need. But will that REALLY get you famous?
Note: Thanos is in charge of mission assignments for Theater Vancoor. He has a tendency to hand out jobs based on how much he likes the person…
Sample:
Alright Thanos, what’s the deal? You weren’t serious with this last part right? “Wanted: Intrepid Warrior to seek out missing persons. Numerous people have been entering the marshlands of the Elven Region never to be seen of again. Will take anybody willing to find them - public nuisances preferred but not necessary.” If I didn’t know better, I would think that you were trying to get rid of me. But you wouldn’t do that now, would you? Aw man, this isn’t payback for the whole incident with the crocogator and the goat, is it? I totally was going to clean that up… when I was done with a mission or two… Geez, it’s not like I knew it would make such a big mess…
Well, even if you are trying to get rid of me, the only thing to do is to get started on the mission. I can do this! After all, I was a Radiata Knight! There’s nothing I can’t handle! Though I have to admit I don’t think I’ve ever seen the trees and plants to be like they were back home… and the “Abandon hope all that enter” did sort of give me the willies... and there’s a feeling that something creepy is following me around. Whoa, maybe the swamp is haunted? Oh crap, I don’t think I’ve ever had to fight a ghost before. Can you even attack a ghost? What with the whole going invisible thing, but I guess they do leave a trail of slime so maybe they can be hit?
You know, come to think of it, I bet I could beat a ghost if I really wanted to. I mean, if they can hit me I could definitely hit them! That’s common sense, after all. Hey, if I can kill a ghost, that’d make me super famous! Then I’ll be known as “Jack the Ghostslayer,” or OH maybe even “The Jacksorcist!” I could totally get used to that. Come out little ghosties. I just want to send you back where you belong~
Hey, a clearing! Maybe if I head out there, I will be able to find a haunted house or something. Then you ghosts will be sorry! Huh… whoa, what’s with the city? There are people living out here? But why would anyone want to live in this dump? Hmm…
I got it! The only reason why they would be living out here is because there’s a hidden dungeon full of dangerous monsters and really rare treasure and people from all over Radiata come here to explore the ruins. Except the place is reeeeeally old (older then Pops, even!) and probably full of dangerous traps and super scary ghosts. So I guess work has to be slow and at the end of a day of exploring, they probably come to that town and eat, drink and have wild parties. Still, that’s a very big city for just one ruin. The ruin would have to be really big and old and probably has really cool treasure. I bet you can find a super power mega ultimate golden brand-name thing-a-ma-thing from a long-lost civilization - and who knows what else! This is exactly the kind of opportunity I’ve been waiting for!
Look out tiny village in the middle of nowhere, here comes Jack Russell!!

Character: Nana Osaki
Series: Nana
Character Age: 20
Canon: The manga “Nana” is a tale of two girls who share the same name, but have two completely different personalities. Brought together by fate, or by the “Demon Lord” as Nana Komatsu would opt to say, the two girls come to live together after a chance meeting on a train and then a chance reunion at the apartment they’re both interested in. With more love triangles and drama then you can shake a stick at, “Nana” is essentially the soap opera of the manga world. But in that good way that touches you at night.
So what do you do when you’re expelled from school on false prostitution charges and your legal guardian dies? If you’re Nana Osaki then the obvious answer is to don a red dress, join a rock band, and shack up with a hot Sid Vicious wannabe before eventually making your way to Tokyo with your band to take over the music industry. Nana Osaki is the rebellious and antisocial one of the series two namesakes, she is not the type to wear her heart on her sleeve. To those who don’t know her, she may come off as cold, unwelcoming, and rude. Unbelievably driven to achieve her dream of musical success, Nana is a force to be reckoned with.
Sample Entry:
…..what a dump. I’m not some uppity little princess who only wants to sing in palaces, but this place is a hole!!! And considering some of the pits I’ve sung in, that’s saying something!
Oh well, all that matters is that I get my voice heard, right? All I have to say is that the others better show their sorry asses up here too, it isn’t a band with just a vocalist, and I’m pretty sure whoever this “Director” that booked us is won’t be happy to see just little old me. Although I’m starting to think she booked the wrong band. With all the people wandering around in tacky purple fur coats and all the guys walking hand in hand, you’d think it was the second coming of Wham!
The crowd is starting to get rowdy, well, as rowdy as a bunch of emaciated, half naked, green tinted kids can get. They’re throwing all sorts of presents on the stage; everything from whistles to signed pictures of Frank Miller (what kind of crowd is this?). I can even hear them chanting, sure it’s not my name, but hey, at least they’re excited for….brains? Oh man, is this some sort of themed show? I don’t do that visual kei crap. If they expect me to come prancing out on stage in a flurry of feathers and freaky sad clown makeup, they’ve got the wrong girl! Obviously I’m going to have to start booking our jobs by myself, if I let those dead weights back into the band after this whole disaster that is. They’d better come crawling back on their hands and knees, then maybe I’ll consider it.
What? NO!!!! That is not some sort of kinky fantas- Where the hell did you get your manners from?! Didn’t your mother teach you that a girl’s monologue, inner or not, is a private and special thing? Get out of here, sheesh! People these days! They think just because you’re talking out loud that they’re aloud to listen and comment! Whatever happened to the good old days when someone could prattle on forever to themselves without interruption? Besides, who let those kids backstage? If I get back to my dressing room and find them going through my luggage, I’m suing this place. Or worse yet, some crazed fan hiding in my closet. Don’t think I haven’t seen the movies!!!! Popular rising star comes to a small town, goes back to her room to find that the powers been cut, her cell phone isn’t getting service, and next thing you know some dude in a dress and women’s underwear bursts into your bathroom and stabs you in the shower; not unlikely considering quite a few of the guys I’ve seen here are wearing dresses already (don’t think I couldn’t tell). Or worse yet, this could be one of those panty dealing rings….
That’s it! Show or no show, I’m getting my ass out of here before this turns into some cheesy daytime movie about abduction, murder and showing the cops on the doll where it touched you. And NO, I am not waiting to find out what IT is, no matter how comfortable your park benches are.

Character: Momotaros
Series: Kamen Rider Den-O
Character Age: Unknown
Canon: When the timestream is being raped by Imagin - monsters who are fighting to change the future by destroying the past, it's left up to Kamen Rider Den-O to defeat them and save the world. But what do you do when the world's future rests in the hands of a wimp who can't go a day without falling on his face? You let the "good" Imagin fight for him.
This is how Nogami Ryoutarou, the boy behind the Kamen Rider mask, comes to be eventually possessed by four Imagin. Momotaros, a loud, arrogant, and hot-headed Imagin who would rather just fight to his heart's content, is the first to possess our "hero". While he puts on a tough guy act most of the time and takes over Ryoutarou's body numerous times just to find strong opponents, deep down Momotaros is a softy. A gullible softy who's constantly topped by both women and the other Imagin he fights alongside with.
As Den-O's "Sword Form," Momotaros is a dependable fighter who's willing to fight to the limit. Considering he starts off every appearance with variations of "I have arrived!", yells retarded catch phrases about his climax, and comes up with finishing moves numbered from one to five - not including four because it isn't cool enough - however, it's pretty easy to see why a lot of Den-O's enemies don't take Momotaros seriously. That is, until he's kicking their ass.
Sample Post:
That was pathetic. No, pathetic wouldn't work . . . disappointing? Retarded? No, no, I don't think there's a word for how much that fight sucked! What the hell was that anyway?! Are you a rookie or something? Don't you know better than to challenge someone when you don't even know what you're doing? If that's what you call fighting, you're doing it wrong! Completely wrong! Just sit there and lick your wounds -- eww, not literally, cut that out! - while I tell you exactly how wrong you did it.
First there's your entrance, which is the second worst thing you've done today! What kind of guy falls apart before the battle even begins? And literally, too - that's not sucking, that's just plain gross, man. If you can't keep it together before you even get through challenging someone, what makes you think you'll last through the first few punches? And then you've gotta worry about gathering up all the pieces afterwards and -- ugh, how can you live like that? Idiot!
And on the topic of idiots - your pre-battle speech was full of idiocy! Who the hell yells "braaains" when they charge at someone? I don't care if you're smart or not, the only thing I care about is how strong you are! Smarts have no place in a real fight anyway - keep that in mind the next time you go off attacking someone. They'll take you a lot more seriously if you come up with something cool to say. Trust me, I know what I'm talking about. Maybe if you use those smarts of yours for something like that, you'll at least put your opponent on guard next time, not make an ass of yourself.
-- Hey! Are you even listening?! You better be, I was leading into the most important part!
The number one thing you did wrong today? YOU INSULTED MY CATCHPHRASE. You never make fun of someone's catchphrase! It's like, the number one rule in the book of fighting! The catchphrase makes the fighter, and it's a blow to a guy's honor when you do that. If you've got a problem with my climax, keep it to yourself! I don't wanna hear anything about how you can show me a real climax, especially when you say it with that kind of look - cocky bastard, you're talking to the master of climaxes here! If you think you know what a climax is, you haven't seen anything yet!
That's it, I'm all fired up again! And look, you pulled yourself together just in time! After a long-ass conversation with a complete idiot, I have arrived! So come at me with everything you've got and I'll show you what a real climax is!

Character: Prince Sieg
Series: Kamen Rider Den-O
Character Age: Unknown
Canon: Remember Power Rangers? A bunch of kids running around in bright colored tights with robotic fighting machines trying to save the world and still make it home in time for dinner? Kamen Rider is a slightly gayer version of this tried and true superhero classic, with a few differences. Instead of five kids, you have one bad-luck-prone Ryoutarou Nogami, who finds out one day that he's Kamen Rider, destined to work with and against futuristic creatures called Imagin in order to protect Time. Granting the wishes of humans, Imagin use their powers to travel in time and protect or destroy a person's most precious memory. Or for poor timid Ryoutarou, use his body as a medium for joyriding to pick up stray cats, dogs and girls (or Imagin in the case of Sieg).
Sieg, who prefers that others call him "Prince", is a swan Imagin with a princely manner, perpetually falling shoujo feathers and the catchphrase "Advent, to the top!" He's a proud Imagin, holding high, if somewhat skewed, ideals as per his noble personality. He has a haughty way of speaking and considers himself noble, majestic and not only worthy, but expectant of being fawned upon. In reality, he's fiercely loyal and dedicated, often appearing to elegantly offer aid, but is easily infuriated by any form of disrespect or interruption, leading him to use his extraordinary ability to shrink other Imagin into 4" versions of themselves with the phrase "Your head is too high!" Although easily mistaken to be self-centered, Sieg cares greatly for those around him, referring to those he's deemed worthy as his "Family" and girls he admires as his "Princesses". Everyone else is stuck working their way up from peasanthood.
Sample Post:
Hear me, peasants. This appears to be a new land to me, for I can not remember how I arrived here. But it matters not. Come, you may have the honor of being my servants. No need to fall over yourselves with gratitude; I am kind, I know. And though the idea is thoughtful, offering your hands, feet, eyes, and scraps of rotting clothes is unnecessary, for I only require your absolute obedience and submission. All of you--your appearance is pitiful and your movements lacking in grace and refinement. However, I shall reward you with my continued presence. Advent forward then, undead minions, with or without your heads. You do not need to fret any longer, for I shall be your new master.
Looking out for ways to please his master is a servant's joyful duty, even for one without actual eyes. What interesting gifts of this time do you wish to present to your prince then? The most beautiful maiden of your realm? Ah, that she is the most beautiful is to be expected, as I deserve only the best. All worlds, even one in as desperate need of my presence as this one, revolve around me. Now, you say this Princess has been tragically entrapped in the body of a monster. With such a tragic tale, she must be an extraordinary and unique character. She shall be worthy of my attention. You may lead me to her then, peasants. Your devotion is to be well rewarded. As there is no greater reward that can be bestowed than the praise of a prince- good work, peasants.
Oh lovely Princess, cower in the waters no more for I, Prince Sieg, am here! No sorcerer shall bring tears to your enchantingly vile face, nor keep you locked away in that beastly shape. I pledge myself to you, so hear me now and I shall break you free from the evil that entraps you. Though your current body is grotesque and nauseating to look upon, much like this land you live in, I shall forgive you. Ah yes, I can see that you are much too grateful at becoming my Princess to voice your thanks. But there is no need to splash in your excitement and gratitude-
... What is this? You have the audacity to lay your tentacles upon my heavenly body? How dare you strike your Prince without reason! You are no Princess! Do not wave your tentacles around in protest now. Interrupting my grace without a word of apology, what rudeness! Very well then, I shall right my wrong, rude peasants. You! You shall kneel before me! Your head is too high!
... I feel the placement of your head now to be too invasive. Lower it further.

Character: Urataros
Series: Kamen Rider Den-O
Age: Unknown.
Canon: Thought you'd left behind the shows of your childhood, when teenagers with strong moral values spent their free time fighting evil monsters with the inexplicable tendency to explode upon defeat? Well, they're back and Kamen Rider Den-O has put a new twist on an old favorite. While Den-O may have the classic "boy by day, crime-fighter by spandex" formula, it's handed over fighting power and camera time to a select few time-traveling monsters, known as Imagin, who've decided that fighting for good's got a little more appeal than taking over the world. Besides, when your lead man's a guy who manages to get his bike stuck up a tree, the world can use all the help it can get.
Of the four main Imagin who fight alongside our hero, Urataros is a turtle Imagin and the proud owner of Kamen Rider's "Rod Form". When not exploding other Imagin with his flying kicks as Kamen Rider, Urataros is the quick-witted and collected member of the group, with a heavy tendency to spout out fishing metaphors. Unfortunately, having brains doesn't excuse him from being just as retarded as the rest of the Imagin, considering that he has his own catchphrase and signature pose.
At the base of Urataros' personality is his preference to lie; Urataros has said that he "lies so he can lie" and keeps his intentions well hidden, which earns him a suspicious eye from his fellow Imagin. This secrecy, however, tends to lay forgotten under the fact he's also a complete playboy. On the positive side, Urataros' ability to lie and flirt have been of some use to their cause, as he's often called upon to do the schmoozing whenever information is needed. On the negative, it never gets any less awkward each time Ryoutarou regains control of his body to find perfume on his neck and five phone numbers in his hand.
Sample Post:
The most precious sight to me has always been the look on my mother's face when I would bring flowers home for her as a child. It's a tender memory from my past that has tied itself strongly to my heart, but, it's strange. Your smile, so simple and yet so lovely, is already making its way deep inside me, filling the gap left behind when my mother died. So it's I who should be thanking you for giving me the warmth of your gentle smile. That is why I find it so painful to have to say that here is where we must part our ways. But we'll have a next time, won't we Marcy?
... Aaa, I've said that a single lie is more interesting in life than a thousand truths, but she was possibly the most interesting truth I have ever met. One who lived up to every tale spoken of her, even right to the affectionate touches she was said to give so eagerly. But it seems that, just like so many times, there lay a lie in this truth as well. There was very little "bad" in my opinion. Or rather, her touch was exploratory at most, and apparently she wasn't sure where to begin with a form like mine. She showed interest when I mentioned my Rod Form; few people have been considerate of her own wishes, it seems. Well, dealing with wishes are what Imagin are best at. It's only appropriate that I'll be the one to reel her in, tentacles and all.
But who could have predicted that there would have been truths behind the words of that man by the lake. He seemed to know a lot about the area, for a grown man dressed as a giant turtle. I would have stayed a little longer and fish out a little more from him, but he became rather insistent about diving into the lake to an underwater palace. The offer to ride on his back didn't make staying around any more appealing. Nor was the one to ride on his front.
Still, a lake that glows and birds that speak through your mind sound like lines that are too weakly cast for even a person like me to work with, but in this place they're the honest truth. I can only assume that the people here will be of a different state of mind as well, if my encounters from before were anything to judge by. I guess that leaves me with no choice but to go along with things. Only the stubborn fish fights the flow of the current.
Ah, but thinking so much about this leads to nowhere. A fisherman can catch no fish without first casting his line, after all. Well then, camp, wasn't it? Won't you let me reel you in with my sweet bait?
... Marcy, as good as it is to see you again, that wasn't a literal request.
