[ The device is on the floor, but fortunately so is its apparent subject - a thin (but strong!) tendril of hair pulling a wrist. The hand attached to that wrist twitches in pain as the thin, somehow sharp strands cut into its flesh. There's a pained gasp. ]

You're forgetting the 'quarter' part! [ If it sounds like a battlecry, that's because it is ( Read more... )

It looks like I picked a cute time to come to Japan; there seems to be some sort of festival going on for "Kodomo no Hi," which I think translates to "Children's Day." My Japanese still isn't all that good, but it's likely not to be an issue seeing as most of the natives don't exactly go out of their way to strike up friendly conversations with ( Read more... )

[ It's a funeral, obviously; the location is recognizably the cemetery, and there's a large black casket (made for an especially tall man, apparently) draped with light pink flowers just about to be lowered into the ground. Standing all around are somber-looking people dressed in black - you know the deal ( Read more... )

[ The video begins with some static, the device having been activated on being dropped. From the unique vantage point of the floor you can see a Chair, a cat who is hiding under the Chair and not looking too pleased, and a hand (which is mostly healed from the knife incident). Someone has been doing the 'hold something so that you wake up when you ( Read more... )

I don't think I'll ever get tired of all this rain, but if it persists for a fourth or fifth day I might consider building a boat. Not to throw anyone into a panic (this rain is a lot like the one we had last year and, no doubt, the year before), but you never know ( Read more... )

It takes a while, but you start to make out shapes in the gloom, obscured by clouds of dust or vague, indistinct shadows. As the light brightens, you look up and realize that you're underwater, not far from the surface at this point. You swim upwards, even ( Read more... )

[ The video cuts on shakily and with a bit of static, as the device was activated by being casually tossed onto the kitchen table. Clow laughs mirthlessly as he turns his back to the camera. ]

[ He doesn't bother giving any context or elaboration to that thought, because apparently he was talking to ( Read more... )

I know what this sounds like coming from me, but I wouldn't mind a repeat of that last curse.

( Action for Holic crew + Blunder Twins )

I had a good day yesterday, though I suppose the same can't be said for everyone. Would it be insensitive of me to observe that partaking in mind-altering drugs appears to have been an optional part of the curse ( Read more... )

Chances are fair that no one has ever told you otherwise, but just in case someone does - you do not necessarily share a Western zodiac sign with one twelfth of the population. Aries and Virgo have quite a bit more than their share of children under them, although it's difficult to tell when the two signs surrounding them each aren't that far ( Read more... )
