The Mad Teaparty

But she'll be back on Sunday long enough for us to get icecream. You know, I just realized how much our weekend ritual resembles Axel and Roxy's. Huh.

Oh the mood finishing 358/2 Days has put me in. (For the record, I just finished it a second time.) I want icecream. And Kiisa. *sighs*

Happy Thanksgiving. I hope you guys have your favorite people to share it with.

To quote Scribbler's The Sky and the Dawn and the Sun: "What crawled up his ass and died? Cause it's blocking his sphincter and making him full of shit."

He fucking stole my book today after I was finished with my work.

I officially hate the chemistry teacher.

And it doesn't help that the one person who I can stand in that class (and am friends with, happily enough) was just moved across the room because we 'work too well together and need to get used to working with other people.' The FUCK?

Now if only I could convince Tseng-tseng to let me get rid of him.

On a brighter note:

Finished 358/2 Days! (several weeks ago, admittedly, but whatever)
I found my PSP! (about a week ago)
I'm playing Crisis Core and doing everything in my power to avoid going to Modeoheim. I'm failing at it, too. *shakes head*
It's nearly Thanksgiving!
I prank-called a guy with some friends. It was very amusing. ^-^
I'm failing at NaNoWriMo, but having fun nontheless.
I'm pretty sure I caused a guy sitting next to me in class to get a boner. It was kinda akward, but really funny.

First update in forever, yes I know.

Okay, I've been waiting for forever to finally play Crisis Core properly, yes? I finally got the PSP a week ago along with KH: 358/2 days (wierd name, I know) and I went to the mall and grabbed Crisis Core today. What do I find when I get back home? I have no PSP. It fucking vanished! So now I'm pissed and ranting. *sighs*

Okay, and for those of you who care, Kingdom Fangirls is still going. Aya was just stupid and lost the chapter and Kiisa has no time to rewrite it while she's at her fancy arts school. *shrugs* Here's hoping I find it soon, otherwise I'll just write what I remember. All in all, it should update in December at the latest. Why December? Because I'm doing NaNoWriMo. *grins*

Um, yeah, that's it for today. Aya out.

What’s your name?

Amaya: Amaya Yume, but, like most Turks, I don’t usually use my last name.

Kiisa: Kiisa Tsukiko, but usually it’s just Kiisa for the same reasons as Aya just goes by Amaya most of the time.

What are you? (e.g. elf, demon, fairy, vampire, shinigami)

Kiisa: A Turk and author/artist.
Amaya: Same, although I’m going to add fangirl to that. *grin*

How old are you?

Amaya:  I’m nearly 21 here in Midgar. My birthday is the 13^th.
Kiisa: 20 for a few more months.

What weapon/tool do you wield/use?

Amaya: Any one of my guns, I’ve got a bit of a collection now, but my favorite is probably either Clover or Spades. Both are revolvers and I use moon clips to hold the bullets in their circular formation so I can change clips just about as fast as with an automatic. Spades has more of a reddish sheen in her steel and a series of roses and, of course, spades detailed on the sides. Clover has more of a greenish tint with a vine pattern and clovers. Both are one-of-a-kinds and you might not want to know how I got them. Suffice to say, I picked up Spades when I was 14 and Clover when I was 17. And, of course, don’t even get me started on knives. I keep at least three on my person at all times, with one in plain sight.
Kiisa: *glances at Amaya* I don’t think they care, Aya. Anyway, I use two guns, Kitty and Candy, both are automatics.

What do you do for a living?

Amaya: I’m a Turk, and I highly doubt I can tell you exactly what it entails. Most of it is classified.
KIiisa: Some days it seems that I do more paperwork than anything.

If applicable, what is your position?

Kiisa: *blushes* I work u-under Tseng. *mortified*
Amaya: *can’t answer for laughing too hard*

What are your hobbies?

Kiisa: Staring at the wall, crushing over Tseng, philosophizing, writing, reading, and being weird in public.
Amaya: Dancing, listening to music, singing, reading, writing, drawing, and discovering new fandoms. Which I then hook Kiisa into.

Favorites:


Food?

Kiisa: Gummy candy, AKA: gummy worms, Swedish fish, etc.
Amaya: Something sweet, Sea Salt icecream at the moment. *attacks the icecream bucket*

Season of the year?

Amaya: I like winter best. Actually, you’d kind of have to growing up where I did. It’s as bad as Icicle there.
Kiisa: Autumn for medium temperatures, I fail at extreme climates.

Day of the week?

Kiisa: Sunday, for the pure reason that it sounds like icecream.
Amaya: Despite everything, I rather enjoy Mondays in general. Saturdays are best, however.

Animal?

Kiisa: Birds, chocobos especially.
Amaya: *Sings* Cats, cats, cats!

Person?

Amaya: Kiisa! *hugs*
Kiisa: Amaya (or my sisters)! *hugs back*

Toy?

Kiisa: Ipod solitare. Definitely.
Amaya: The PS2. I played FFVII for the first time on it. I like my Gamecube, too.

Element?

Amaya: Lightning! *cackles*
Kiisa: Aya finds lightning to be the best offensive materia. I like bio. A lot.

Color?

Amaya: Silver and blue.
Kiisa: Green! The color of living things and my bedroom.

Amaya: Which Midgar doesn’t have enough of.

Least Favorite


Food?

Amaya: Really sour stuff. I’m not too fond of lemons… well, the fruit anyway.
Kiisa: Onions, down pat. I. Hate. Onions.

Season of the year?

Amaya: Summer. I don’t do heat and I don’t particularly like swimming.
Kiisa: Double that. *dies of extreme temperatures*

Day of the week?

Amaya: Tuesdays. Just don’t ask.
Kiisa: Tuesday for me as well.

Animal?

Amaya: Bugs and large spiders. *shudders* I hate those things.
Kiisa: Bees, I’m allergic.

Person?

Kiisa: Hojo.
Amaya: Kasja. My mortal enemy, you know, Heidegger’s secretary. Hojo comes a really close second, though.

Toy?

Kiisa: Barbies, they’re demented.
Amaya: I hate furbies. I used to have one but it wouldn’t shut up even when I took out the battery so I shoved it in the freezer. I was 6 at the time.

Element? (e.g. water, fire, wind, Earth, etc.)

Amaya: Hmmm… screw it, I don’t like fire. And I blame Axel.
Kiisa: Ice. It’s cold. It fails. And it’s spiky and hurts.

Color?

Amaya: Orange, it’s a garish color. And the more neon shades of pink are slightly repulsive.
Kiisa: Yellow, the perky ridiculous shades. And I have a bit of a distaste for brown. It’s just yellow pretending that it’s sophisticated.

Who is your love interest?

Kiisa: *blushes*
Amaya: Kiisa and Tseng-tseng sitting in a tree! *dodges pencil*
Kiisa: At least I haven’t slept with Rufus!

Amaya: Eh, it was a one-night thing.

 

What’s the most embarrassing moment you’ve experienced?

Amaya: The one time I didn’t dodge Tseng-tseng’s coffee pot and I was wearing a white shirt. Reno walked in right as it happened, too. *shudders*
Kiisa: I experience a new one every day. *glances pointedly at Reno and Amaya*

Amaya: *whistles innocently as attempt to shove Kiisa into Tseng is aborted*

If someone stalked you, who would you like it to be?

Amaya: I wouldn’t mind Tseng-tseng stalking me. *leers at Kiisa*
Kiisa: Back off.
Amaya: *raises hands in surrender* Fine, fine. That hot second class, what was his name… Zane Black, I think. Yeah. I’d be more than happy with him stalking me. And Gen does it for fun sometimes.

Not like it to be?

Amaya: *glances around* Anyone not hot. Or another girl besides Kiisa. I’m already officially stalking Kiisa so it’s okay if she does the same.
Kiisa: Amaya’s already stalking me and I get enough problems from her.

If you can wish for anything, what would you wish for?

Amaya: An unending amount of bullets, Kiisa to be my sister, and for a really hot guy to fall madly in love with me.
Kiisa: Unending Sweedish fish, the perfect novel idea, and open-mindedness and tolerance in all pople.
Amaya: AKA: ridiculous, real, and completely and utterly unattainable.

What would you give to your favorite person?

Kiisa: *points at perfect story from above question*
Amaya: *giggles* The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party. *notices awkward staring* What?

Least favorite person?

Kiisa: A marshmallow peep always out of the corner of their eye that multiply as life goes on until they are everywhere and they go insane.
Amaya: *grins evilly* A curse where every boy that she takes a liking to ends out falling madly in love with another man. And an infestation of fleas, because that I can do.

Name a fun thing you’d do with duct tape.

Kiisa: Go to President Shinra’s executive ball in a dress made out of it.
Amaya: Tape’s Rufus’s mouth shut. Reno’s works too.

If you can take a vacation anywhere, where would it be?

Amaya: Definitely not Costa Del Sol.
Kiisa: Halloween Town?
Amaya: Oh, I know! How about Kingdom Hearts in general? I know I’ve always wanted to see Wonderland.

Who would you take with you?

Kiisa: Amaya!
Amaya: Kiisa!

What do you find to be the most annoying thing/person in the world/universe?

Amaya:  Geese. I can’t stand them.
Kiisa: Young, screechy children. And trampolines. Especially with said young children.

What’s the best gift you’ve received?

Amaya: That comic-card Kiisa gave me for my birthday last year. Seriously, that thing was epic. The Walrus and the Carpenter rewritten as The Amaya and the Kiisa.
Kiisa: My laptop.

The worst?

Amaya: ...I have no idea.
Kiisa: Fluffy pink clothes from my father’s parents.

What’s the best prank you’ve pulled?

Kiisa: Reno and the chocobo suit. ‘nuff said.
Amaya: The tonberry plushie.

The worst prank you’ve received?

Kiisa: Nobody really pranks me, and yet I’m still planning their imaginary genocide.
Amaya: Reno and I were paired up on a mission once. I still have mental scars.

Do you have a kink or fetish?

Kiisa: FOE YAY! FOY YAY! Oh, and does yaoi count?
Amaya: Uh, bondage, knife play, mindfucks, BDSM in general. *innocent look* Does that cover it?

Which would you pick of the following:

Glass if half empty.

Glass is half full.

Glass is poisoned.

Glass is spiked.

Amaya: The glass is half full if it was just filled. The glass is half empty if it was just drank out of. If you’re not sure which, it is about 50% of its volume.
Kiisa: The glass is full of paint-water.

And who would you send this to?

Kiisa: *sings*To the wold! To all the little birdies-
Amaya: *shoots Kiisa with trank* The glass is full of tranquilizers.

Kiisa and I didn't make the cabaret, but whatever. At least we did our best! As it is, though, the varsity choir is doing several songs anyway. Kiisa doddled a tutorial on the dance for 'Who Put the Bomp' and might post it sometime. It's Gen and Zacky. Gen's dancing my part and Zacky's dancing Kiisa's.

On another note, does anyone know how to make seasalt icecream? No? Well here's the tried-and-true recipie. God I love this stuff.


( How to make Sea Salt Icecream )

 

Okay, no one has any clue what I'm talking about, I'm sure, so I'll explain.

At the school Kiisa and I attend there are several choir concerts throughout the year. The spring concert is called cabaret. And we have a theme every year.

So guess what our theme is this year?

1 hit wonders!

And we can try out with our own acts so Kiisa and I got a brilliant idea to sing Caramelldansen!

Still dunno if we'll be chosen as one of the acts, but here's hoping!

Yes, it be the Kiisa half of the force... dosn't happen that often, I knows. But nothing is impossible.

I hear... Reno is being held until I meme Tseng? ...kaaaaaay. Whateve you say, Aya. Aparently she has been doing...  roleplays that involve she, I amarissia,and the FFVII chaacters and their dopplegangers? ...Really Aya. ALl i do is look up fanfiction...



1. Do you like this character?

Well.... yeshhhhhh... Honestly, black hair sells me the second I see it. And you have to be a pretty awesome man to hold the Turks in control. And silent man in the suit leads to mystery leads into deep emotional plot of evil secrecy and fun to write.... ness. In other words... I like him lots like tater tots!! And yes, I'm a bit of a rule suck-up, shush.

2. What name/s do you call this character?

Tseng-san, Tseng-sama, Preeeeeeeeetty

3. What image-color do you associate with this character?

Hmn. A deep, greyish purple... like some really effd up storm clouds.

4. What image-song do you associate with this character?

Imma not sure... I sing silly old songs. Pennies from Heaven, I guess, which dosn't make sence, but... my head says that cute happiness = angst and vice versa. So it make sense... in a Kiisa way. Which dosn't. Dear father in heaven.

5. What blood-type do you think this character is?

Ah... A I guess? I really don't know the differences.
Tseng deah, bleed a little, I have to run a test.
Tseng: ...Y?
Moi: Well, I'm O positive and I needs must see if we're compatible... failing that, if you wok with Red.

6. Of all of the titles to that this character appears in, what character do you like to put this character with?

-smiles at Aya- Well, We are fond  of Tseng Reno. Lovely men in suits, guns, potential for some good FFVII brand angst (equals fluff from Kiisa) and lots of adorable stuffed Moogles and chocobos and crap... wow, my mind really deteriorated that sentance. And as much as OC paiings fail.... well, my character seems to have started something. -looks at her funny- Ah, Tseng-san...

7. What would you want to say to this character?

"Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii~..." -falls on face- and/or "So I cans be Aya's partner?"

8. Which do you want to do with this character: Shake hands, hug or kiss?

Hugs cure all ills. I was hugged so many times today by people happy about me getting into the school, it was awesome.

ANYWAY. First off, a lovely cuddly hug. Well, I would be loverly cuddelable, and he would kind of stare at me... and I'd be all "curses, my huggable squish is not working!!"

Note that it's a cuddly hug FIRST OFF. lalala~

My character is...Reno!

1. Do you like this character?

Yes and no, Reno drives me up the wall some times but he's incredible. To be honest, I think the reason that I chose to be a Turk is because of him and Tseng-tseng. The fact of the matter is that, while I'd never admit it to his face, I look up to him. He's an asshole sometimes, but to survive the life that a Turk lives and still be himself, as annoying and immature as that is, is more than a little impressive.

2. What name/s do you call this character?

Reno, Ren, Red, Idiot

3. What image-color do you associate with this character?

Crimson. I mean, look at his hair.

4. What image-song do you associate with this character?

Turk theme, duh, and Blow me Away by Breaking Benjamin.

5. What blood-type do you think this character is?

I'd peg him as a B. I have no clue why, but whatever.

6. Of all of the titles to that this character appears in, what character do you like to put this character with?

Tseng. Pure and simple, the boss/subordinate and mentor/student type pairings are some of my favorites. It can lead to either awesome angst, adorable akwardness, or cute cuddling. (...Okay, I just realized that all those adjectives started with the same letter as their noun. Alliteration much?) I like seeing Reno with Rufus a lot as well, and for the same resons, but Tseng is my favorite.

7. What would you want to say to this character?

"Reno, can you get Rude to teach me how to make those crazy flashy fireworks bombs? I can't get them to work right when I try." *puppy eyes*

8. Which do you want to do with this character: Shake hands, hug or kiss?

Hug, because as much of a pervert as he is, I'm  very huggy type of person and I believe that all your emotional needs can be temporarily cured with a hug. That, and Reno looks cuddly. *shifty eyes*


Anyway, there you go. ^-^ If you want to snag it feel free to leave a comment. I'm going to get Kiisa to fill this out as soon as I can, though.

Um, yeah. Aya was an idiot and lost Kiisa's chapter while trying to type it up. You can all blame me. I freely admit it. I'll post it as soon as I find it again.


As for Kiisa, well, since she isn't sharing the good news then I will.

KIISA'S GOTTEN INTO HER SUPER-AWESOME-ART-SCHOOL-OF-DOOM!!(tm) So, send congrats to her and let her know that not everyone is going to shoot her in the face for leaving our city next school year. So far I think that I'm the only one. But then, who knows? I might follow her next year. *shrugs*

Okay, I found a great new manga and I need some help locating scans of chapters 3-11. Can anyone help me? It's called Heart no Kuni no Alice and it's based off a great otome game by the same name. I don't honestly care if the scans are raw or scanlated, I can translate them myself if I need to. Actually... I need the practice, so raw scans are preferred.

Help? Please?

I. Hate. Hospitals.

Okay, I bet you're wondering what brought that on. Or really don't care but are reading this anyway. *shrugs* I was hospitalized with something that the doctors had no clue what it was. (I swear it was mako poisoning, but do the doctors listen to me? No.) Anyway, thanks to my glorious stint in the hospital I actually managed to figure out something totally epic about myself.

I'm a mutant.

No, really. My appendix is on my left side. And some other random organs I don't really care about are on the wrong side as well. It's so wierd. I'd blame mako but I don't think that was what caused it... Anyway, merry Christmas to you all! I hope you never have to deal with hospitals on Christmas Eve. (I honestly didn't think that I would be getting out in time for Christmas.)

PS: Does anyone have any advice for what to do when your cats chew through one of the cords to your new Wii? 'Cause I'm at a blank.

So, opening night was last night and everything is only getting better from here! And, as I promised some people, I'll put up pictures as soon as I get my camera working properly enough to download them onto the computer.

On another note, I finally managed to nick some wallets off Fagin. Admittedly, it was during intermission and he wasn't paying any attention, but I did it! (And he didn't realize it until I gave them back.) Um, for the uninformed, that probably sounded pretty bad. In Oliver, I'm a pickpocket in Fagin's gang. The rest of the gang and I have a game where we try to steal people's wallets (they're empty so we can take them onstage) whenever we can backstage and I'm one of the few who managed it. It's fun and it helps us get into character, so it's cool with the others. And the fact that I pickpocketed the guy who leads our gang is kinda ironic, no?

By the way, I painted the coffins you'll see in the pictures. Actually, I painted half the set to be honest...

So, we're heading off to Setsuka's place tonight and getting candy, that's the plan. Although, the picture is mildly misleading, I'm going to be Alice from Alice in Wonderland and Kiisa's going to be gypsy. I just felt like drawing us in Victorian English style outfits.

On another note, today in theater I saw:
1 Batman
1 Joker
1 Incredible Hulk
2 Furries (one of which was Chizuru)
1 Mad Hatter (Me)
1 Tristan Taylor (I think the rest of Yuugi-tachi was somewhere else at the moment)
1 Spiderman
1 Metroid Prime Hunter person... I have no idea what it's called
and
2 Cheerleaders

Everyone else was lame and didn't dress up, but we still had an epic rave on the stage. I adore theater, it's the greatest thing since escape materia.

Yeah, I drew them. They aren't that great but what can I do?
( pics )

Hope you like it, Erava! Oh, and for those of you curious abou the pictures, I'll post them up once I finish scanning them.

 

( Kleptomania )

Well, school has started and I am getting back into the creative habits paying no attention in class leaves me with. So I drew pictures to go with the fic and actually wrote this chapter and the side story I'll put in the next post. The side story in question deals with one of our newest characters who, unfortunately, hasn’t been introduced properly and was only briefly mentioned last chapter. Now we have her permission to go a little crazier with her character and “Kleptomania” was born.

 

( Kiisa Levels Up! )

Thanks Kiisa, I'm never going to live through this one. (One of the cast members apparently overheard that comment.) So, now we have Nick: the Jewish meiser pedophile (or something like that) and Amaya: the magical sweeping fairy. Not even faerie, just fairy. Ra I hate it when people spell it like that. Now I wonder how many other people will gain odd nicknames over the course of the musical...? Oh, and apparently the little kids had been warned that I like to randomly hug them even when I don't know them. I'm betting it was Josie that told them, she didn't seem to like it when I randomly started hugging her backstage in front of the other kids. And Kasja was really in her element today, she was prancing around and sniffing at the lower masses for breathing near her.
...I want to shoot her. And I bet Tseng would let me if he ever met her. I think I'm going to bring Sephy and Tseng along next time. Maybe I'll actually get permission to shoot her. *grins* It would be lovely. That bitch needs to lose her swelled head, literally and figuratively.

And if anyone cares, I've been drawing pictures to go with Kingdom Fangirls. I'm also half done with the actual chapter and fully done with the little companion piece to the next chapter. I think I'll post the companion piece after the chapter along with the doodles...

Sooo, I now have a new appreciation for adventure novels. I spent half of the Ren Fest slogging through icy rain and mud. Yet, all was not lost for Kiisa and another of my companions (Amanda) were with me. So, as for what occured...

When we first arrived we came across a few guys, but camera was dead, so no pictures of them. One of those attractive young men was the guy in red you see below. We found him later once we got new batteries for my camera. *grins* Anyway, before we got new batteries we went through a museum of renaissance era torchure devices. I thought it was amusing, but there were some little kids behind Kiisa, Amanda, and myself who were freaking out. I think it was my inner sadist that caused me to laugh at them. Anyway, afterwards I got ahold of some extra batteries and started taking pictures...for the ten minutes it wasn't raining.

(the guy in red)
(the guy in red again)

After I dragged Kiisa and Amanda into the 'Faerie Glen' we wandered around buying stuff for a while and tried on some masks, but then Kiisa went and lost her PHS. And it was picked up by a Captain Jack Sparrow impersonator. Who then proceeded to give her his e-mail and ask her to e-mail him as payment for returing her cellphone. Uh, oh, looks like Tseng's got some competition. *grins* Then again, the poor guy probably had no idea what she does for a living. (I didn't get a picture of him and I really wish I had.)

So, now you're likely wondering what the title means. For any of you who have ever been to the Renaissance festival nearest yourself, I believe you may get the reference. To be perfectly honest, I believe their job application sheets look something like this:
Name: _______
Age: _________
Are you an obnoxious pervert? Y N

As it is, Kiisa, Amanda, and I proceeded to run around the Ren Fest looking for the most obnoxious pickle seller we could find. Then we bought a pickle from him. And, as you can imagine, he made a lot of innuendos. And then started dancing with his pickle sign. So that's where "get your pickle on" came from.
(the pickle seller)

So then, as we sat, Amanda urged me to take a photo of the guy who was working at the T-shirt stand near the pickle guy. His name was Tyler. How do I know this? Because he saw me take a picture of him and yelled: "I saw that! Hey, my name is Tyler! So the picture is 'Tyler at work' okay? Make sure you remember that!" And, like anyone would, I remembered it.
(Tyler at work)

And it started raining lightly, but we weren't worried, yet.
(Rain dodging men, I thought that they were drunk but they claimed to be dodging rain)
(Another guy that I got a picture of for Amanda)
(Another pickle seller)

So then we sat down for the end of the "Monkeyboy" show and yelled stuff at the top of our lungs. More specifically: "What do you want you drunken bastard?!" Hey, he told us to and we were simply fufilling his wishes. Anyway, this is right before Puke and Snot Jr. (Snot Sr. died a few months ago, RIP.) come on and it finally starts pouring. So we sit there, getting soked and finally left because Puke and Snot refused to do the show in the rain, and what do we do? Head for the nearest shelter like any smart person. Then we immediately leave because it was obvious that we couldn't get any wetter than we already were. So for about an hour we wandered in the rain, going in and out of shops. Then, as it stopped raining, we slogged around in the mud for another hour, trying to find the foodshop that sold chocolate covered stawberries and hot chocolate. Unfortunately, we were unable to find it and got crepes instead. Finally, we decided enough was enough and we started singing this ditty to the tune of 'I feel pretty'.
"I feel chilly, oh so chilly, I feel chilly, and cold, and wet!"

Yeah, so we met up with my mother who had volunteered to drive us to the Ren Fest, since she and my grandmother were going anyway, in the Tea Shop and met the 'Official Hugger.' And we hugged him while we drank tea.
(Official Hugger)

So, soaking wet and freezing my elven ears off, I returned to Midgar with Kiisa, bidding farewell to Amanda and proceeded to upload the photos onto the computer and write out this account of our adventure. I had fun and, honestly, I'd be happy to do it all again. Which is a good thing since I'll be going again next year. ^-^

OMG, I'm so excited! Kiisa and I are headed to the Renaissance festival today! So I'm all dressed up as a Celtic elf and Kiisa is a renaissance lady and I've got another friend of mine going as a rennaisance lady! I am so psyched! *does happy dance* When we get back Kiisa and I will fill you in on our wonderful time and if we're lucky I might be able to get pictures uploaded! *grins* OMG! Yay!
I'll write more soon!

Bai bai!

PS. Has anyone else ever worn elf ears? I don't know why but I keep squealing and running to a mirror every five minutes. I think it's just the Lord of th Rings fangirl in me, but I love elves! Pointy ears are great!
