Mark walked over to Tsukiko. "Stop staring at me," he said. "And what do ya mean, freak show?" He looked around, then whispered, "The only real freak here is that 'Sakila' girl. She's a bit...deranged, to say." He shrugged, then continued, "Anyway, this gameshow...is likely going to require a little teamwork. Mind if we team up for a bit?" He waited for her answer, then walked over to Ash. "Ash, is it? You see that girl over there?" He motioned to 'Sakila'. "You remember that airport incident? She's the girl that made the boy bleed." He paused, then thought out what he was going to say next. "I'm her current legal caretaker, but she ran out from me when she received that invitation. It was by sheer luck that I happened to get one too. You mind helping me keep an eye on her?" He began to walk back to where he was before, then he turned and grinned. "By the way, are you a boy or girl?" (Hmmm, alliances.) :<

"That girl. Again." He sighed. He quickly took out a hat and put it on, concealing his face. "I don't think she noticed me. She changed out of her bloody outfit, it looks like. Well, no wonder. That much blood would've given her away." The bus went and stopped at various stations. Mark was annoyed that 'Sakila' didn't leave on any of the stations. "Come on, don't you have somewhere else to be? Unless..." "Oh, man. She's one of the invitees as well?" Mark knew if he was spotted, it wouldn't be good. Especially after what he said back there. But he really didn't have a choice. If they were really both headed to the same place, he'd be spotted anyway. Might as well. Mark stood up and walked next to 'Sakila'. He took his hat off, slowly, and grinned. "Hey. You aren't getting away that easily," he mouthed. Then he put his hat back on, and walked back to his seat as if nothing happened. He crossed his arms. "This is gonna be fun." (:3)

"My grandmother started walking five miles a day when she was sixty. She's ninety-seven now, and we don't know where the hell she is."

(I will.) Mark was walking by the bookstore when he heard a loud noise. He ran to the source of the noise, and found an interesting scene. A unconscious, bleeding boy on the floor and 'Sakila', who was obviously the perpetrator. He sighed, then walked up and dragged 'Sakila' out of the store. He took her to a rather quiet area of the airport, and only then did he release this 'Sakila'. He scratched his head, then looked at her, from her head to her feet, which were covered with blood. "Hey, you're Sakila, right? No, you're not Sakila, are you? Who exactly are you, huh?" He frowned, then loosened. "I suppose I don't have any reason to ask why you'd be using a fake name. More importantly, why did you do that? You know it's not nice to hurt children. You might've killed him." He walked up to 'Sakila' and grabbed her by the neck, stared into her eyes intensely. "People like you...I hate. I really hate." He let go of 'Sakila', then walked off. "People don't hurt others for no reason. Wonder what her reason was." This thought was bothering him. He didn't really hate the girl. He said that on the spur of the moment. He was curious. Then he realized he'd probably never see this 'Sakila' again. "Why do I even care about that girl?" He put the bloody scene and the girl out of his head, then headed to the airport exit.

"Sakila." Mark sighed, then closed his one open eye. "I think I've heard that name before. Something tells me this 'Sakila' isn't who she claims to be...but who knows?" Mark quickly toned out the noises of the airplane and the excessive talking from 'Sakila', like he was used to doing on planes, then thought back to the letter. He was certainly bored, but Mark never really liked gameshows. However, he hated to waste opportunities, so he tucked in his few belongings into a backpack and a small bag (both of them which were carry-on). The plane landed smoothly, and Mark loosened up. He looked outside the window, and watched the gate approach from his point of view. "I wonder how this trip will unfold," he wondered aloud, then got ready to leave the plane. (On the same plane as Sakila.)

INSIDE IDENTITY by Black Raison d'etre.

SAO is a 5.2/10 for me, where 6 is average, so SAO is average erring on the side of bad. Good stuff: - One of the best soundtracks I've heard in a while. - Beautiful animation. Bad stuff: - Characters. I hate the characters (I used to like Kirito, but less now). - Unoriginality. We have seen virtual death-matches before. - Unmoving. I am literally unable to sympathize with the characters. Nor does my heart beat during the action scenes, or I cry during the sad scenes. I recommend Chu-2 (full name: Chuunibyou Demo Koi ga Shitai). Rating: 8.6/10 (good, erring on the side of great) Good stuff: - Interesting concept, nice look at a chunnibyou's perspective. - Characters. Especially Rikka and Yuta's relationship. Shinka gets a notable mention because of a flip-flop in personality. Also, I'm pretty sure you know someone in your life like Makoto. - Animation. Mainly when we see things from Rikka or Sanae's perspective. - Soundtrack. The opening and ending songs. And also, during the chunnibyou battles. Bad stuff: - Maybe more than one scene from chunnibyou perspective, cause those are animated spectacularly. - Pace. Moving a bit too fast, but not too bothersome.

How to Win at College. Strange how I didn't find this before.

A: 1 S: 1

It means what it means.

The MVRP for this round is:

I was lying. I mentioned that I couldn't lie in response to a query (and I'm not lying right now), but I said that without a query to respond to, therefore I was free to lie as I pleased.

Remains unchanged: A: 6/10 S: 4/10

"Huh, what a shame. I was expecting more." A person tapped each of the unconscious people on the head, waking them up. "You guys, you really disappointed me. I put you in this scenario, and all you do is turn on each other." The person shrugged, then helped AiSuigetsu onto her feet. "I've been watching you for a bit. That guy who was the 'manifestation of negative emotions', he wasn't actually supposed to be there. Turns out you guys, with your evil emotions and feelings, created him." The person pulled out a letter from his jacket, and showed it. "Remember this? The invitation from "Anne Scarlet"? Anne Scarlet doesn't exist. I wrote this. I wanted to test how you all would react in a scenario where it was everyone for themselves." "I was surprised that several of you didn't want to interfere in the manifestation's plans. Specifically, Misaki, Ren-kun, Heksu, and Wicky. Although AiSuigetsu did refuse the offer in the end, that really wouldn't have done anything." "I've prepared a private plane to take all of you back to where you came. I would like you to take what happened here and ponder upon it. Contemplate. Should you have done differently? How did you feel?" He gestured towards the door, which was open. Cold wind blew inside the mansion. FIN ============================================================================= > Misaki, Ren-kun, Wicky, and Heksu were the dissenters in the decision, and have been credited with a win. AiSuigetsu, KKLT, and Akai Sera voted yes in the decision, and OTTD Player was undecided. > AiSuigetsu received the offer, and refused it in the end. > I will announce the name of the MVRP tomorrow. > Role-playing is officially over. You are now completely free to release information I previously ordered you to keep secret, disclose your roles, etc.
