Sakila

*is in heaven* la~~la~~lala~~~~ I got a "Love you!" from Shadow-chan! Didn't expect? But my exact words were: XD but yay! I'm glad you like it

(Ah, who? Little ole me? *giggles*)

Here! Finally!! I feel bad for taking so long, but even if it's late, it's still done! Shadow-chan... here is your present! Click It is crappy. You all have my permission to laugh.

.........As bad as it was, I was sad when it ended. The music in the last episode worked real well, IMO.

Dearest Anonymous, For some reason, I always imagine it's raining where you are. Surprisingly, it's snowing outside right now. Sakila P. S. And who the heck is Maria? It's not even her birthday today. What a strange dream Dear Anonymous, Don't. I don't want to talk to you anymore. You broke it. You broke it all. Now everything's clouded over with dirt. You're disgusting. Sakila

Nooooo~~~~~!!! Sorry! Fixed! >_< Boo, I always forget that kinda stuff Thanks KKLT! Dunno about Kuro, really. Except that he was Miwa Ichigen's follower/fanboy

^Apparently, Twin likes to support failing artists because she's awesome like that Ah, Secret Santa~! What a wonderful creation! Allows me to give/get gifts regardless of the fact that I don't celebrate Christmas. And it's so cool to check out everyone else's gifts as well So now that the big reveal has occurred, I'm able to post up my present here in the art thread. This present is for Stopwatch! ^^ (I try to personalize presents because...well, I'm actually pretty sappy deep down. But enough about me! It was hard drawing an actual Stopwatch, so I drew a pocket watch instead--but you know, hopefully the meaning remains ) Ah, anyways, Happy Holidays DCW and especially Stopwatch Won't you click this little link right here?

*rewatches* ... ... ... *drools* xDDD No, but great job--especially with matching the song with the pictures! But my favorite part has to be the cosplay~~~~ Nyah-hahahaha

Twin and Aiko-chan, awesome job running the event~! *hugs both* And an extra hug for IU *hugssss*

Dear Anonymous, You used to be the person I escaped to. And then you became the person I escaped from. And now, I can't seem to escape from these constant thoughts of you. If it was that terrible, you shouldn't have been the one to leave, it should have been me. But I'm selfish. I wouldn't have escaped even if you'd told me to. I couldn't stand being so far away from civilization. You once told me that you wouldn't leave for years to come and now...it's been so long. Are you okay? Hell, of course you are. You got your sweet escape. While I'm still trapped. And insecure. "Is it obvious?" Probably. "Am I that transparent?" I'm sure everyone knows by now. "...Was it all fake?" No. I refuse to believe that. I refuse to believe that everything was once as one-sided as it feels now. You know what I regret the most? The fact that I could've just kept shut. It would've hurt, harboring a secret like that forever. But if I just kept quiet then maybe the both of us could've been happy for just a little while longer. Boy, what a chain reaction that was, huh? Do you...know the truth? Ah well, I was the one to blame so I was the one to receive the punishment. Are you happy with your escape? Sincerely, The One Who Thinks of You as the Best Part of Her Worst Era

The whole "view/show results" thing is acting up, but anyway, I say yes, just because the whole glitchiness issue hasn't been fixed yet.

So something really weird is going on with that poll up top. But I'm fine with it. I already turned mine in so

Me neither, but the anime sure helps pump my daily bishounen meter. Even Mikoto has that rugged look thing going for him.

I watch cuz the characters look pretty~

Hmmm...... Well I went this one school for a few months after we'd moved. This was a while ago... Like when I was in the seventh grade. One day, we went on a field trip and I was sitting in front of this guy who was really...well, noticeable xD He had blonde hair and blue eyes and he was tall, so he stood out a lot. Well, I'd seen him around a few times and I SWEAR he sounded just like Michael Jackson! I just had to tell him, of course, so I turned around to face him. I had climbed up on my knees on the seat so I didn't have much of a grip. So the bus decided JUST then to run over a pothole, sending me flying back against the seats behind me. And of course, I screamed, which led to everyone on the bus seeing me dangling half on my seat, half on the floor looking like a shocked idiot. I got yelled at by the bus driver too But the worst part was that the extremely popular blonde guy's girlfriend spent the rest of my days at the school passing around silly rumors about me because she thought I had been hitting on him xP

Although Neko's character is so very flat. She's just there for basically fanservice anyway. And random comedic moments. And Kukuri is like the Ran of K. Completely oblivious to what's really going on, yet somehow still up there with the top characters. Yata-chan is like Heiji Hattori, not the main character, but the one who everyone loves regardless and wouldn't mind if there were more episodes involving him. And Shiro comes off as a bit flat in the beginning, but I guess he's starting to show a little potential now. Kuro is Kuro. There are no words. Although I love it when he's all fanboying about "Miwa Ichigen-sama~~ <3" ^0^

Neko is also epic.

OMG. So basically, this is a safe haven for everyone to gather around and fangirl about extremely epic pairings? <3 I SUPPORT THE FOLLOWING: Munakata X Mikoto Fushimi X Yata (I'm relatively new to this one ^^") KURO X SHIRO OBVIOUSLY ......My favorite character would have to be Yata-chan. Yata-chan is epic. He is epic and he shall stay epic. He is also epic because he has a skateboard. And a bat. And a hat. How could a baseball bat wielding, skateboarding, hat-wearing, red hoodie-toting, member of HOMRA who talks like there's no tomorrow and only blushes when it comes to being proper with girls not be epic? Therefore, Yata-chan is epic.

[is this still going on, or...?] Sakila's eyes widened slightly as she woke up somewhere totally different. There was no cheery Amber, no umbrella, no deflated ball, just a room. Again. A simple room. But there was a different kind of feeling in the air, a slight tension. Sakila stood up slowly and selected a door carefully. This game had suddenly somehow gotten much more serious.

Dear you disgusting excuses for anonymouses, WHAT ON EARTH IS WRONG WITH YOU?! There are certain things you do, certain things you only think about, and certain things that are just inhumane. How on earth could joke about something so sentimental. WE'RE NOT FREAKIN' BESTIES, OKAY? And even if we were, not THAT. Anything but that. I'd feel terrible if I had said no, but I didn't say yes, either, did I? Please, just give it back. I find the things I was especially concerned of being not as important now. I apologize if I was too harsh to you, but honestly, my wrist still feels bare. And you. There is no, absolutely NO, excuse for your behavior. It was ignorant, imbecilic, idiotic, and just plain mean. Have you not learned manners yet? Have you not learned to be understanding of other people's feelings? I'm not at all the kind of person who cries at every little thing. But today, in front of so many people, I felt myself tearing up. Thank you for almost destroying my self-esteem. And keeping me from forming an alliance with someone who could've helped me with the rest of my life. ~Me ------------------------------------ Dear Anonymous, I'm warning you. Because I care for you. But in reality, every single one of my friends end up hating me. So consider yourself warned. Soon, you'll hate me too. I'm sure of it. I don't know what it is. If I did, I would've taken care of it long ago. But since I don't, I'll just end with a "I'm glad I had a chance to be with your friend." ~Someone Temporary ------------------------------------- Dear Anonymous, We've been down that road before. It didn't end well. I need to think before deciding whether to go down that road with you again. Or not. ~Sakila ------------------------------------- Dear Anon, You know that friend of yours I never even met and everyone already knows I dislike even though I don't express it outright? Yes, the one who's apparently from that place and who's apparently doing something as wonderful as that at this moment? Well, the reason I hate your friend so much is because he reminds me of one of my friends. One that I really don't hate. Who I hope "doesn't hate" me back. Who I don't think I'll ever be able to see anymore. -Me ------------------------------------- Dear You, Gosh, I actually have a life on DCW. Unlike you. "Gosh, I actually have a life OUTSIDE of DCW. Unlike you." Gosh, I don't have a life. Unlike you. "Gosh, I have a wonderful life. Unlike you." Gosh, I have a terrible life. Unlike you. "Gosh, my life's changed. Unlike you." Gosh I wish my life would change. Unlike you. "Gosh, I wish I could go back. Just like you." Gosh, I wish I could go back. Just like you. "Gosh, I don't need you. Unlike you." Gosh, my life's nothing without you <3 Unlike you. Signed, Me... and You ------------------------------------- Dear Anonymous, I can only imagine--you know what, screw that. To tell you the truth, I know EXACTLY what you mean. You were included. The only thing I want to know is if I'm included. Sincerely, If not one then two, and if not two then three, and if not three, your personal cheerleader always on the sidelines ------------------------------------- Dear Idiot, You're so stupid! Stupid, stupid, stupid! Ugh! I can't believe... you still haven't figured out my feelings yet! And boy... They are NOT feelings of love! Oh, no no no. They are feelings of wanting to sever your fingers and use them to gouge out your eyes, GOSH YOU MAKE ME SO MAD! -Sakila

(This was going so well in the beginning too... I was quite excited with it. I'd hate for it to discontinued, but even an optimist like me can't blind herself from the many problems at the moment.)

"Huh? Neechama?" Well, kudos to to Sakila for trying to open up to the young child. Now if only she could've heard her. Sakila shifted her bottom lip to the left and bit the right part with her top teeth lightly. "Nothing," she said, her teeth still clamped down. "Eh?" Amber didn't seem to mind and shrugged. "Hey hey Neechama~" Amber bounced up and down in the room while holding the ball. "Take the umbrella! Let's do baseball!" Sakila raised an eyebrow but did as she was told. Picking up the oh-so-convenient umbrella, she adjusted her posture so she wasn't as slouchy as usual. She threw the umbrella over her right shoulder and turned to the side. Amber brought her arms back and pitched. Sakila was strong. Lazy, slow, awkward, but nevertheless strong. Swinging with all her her might, Sakila hit the giant ball with the makeshift bat, only to have it fly over Amber's head, ricochet after the far wall and come back at hyperspeed to smack Sakila in the face. OW. The impact made her fall to the ground and the ball landed to the floor in front of her, now popped. A slip of folded paper fell out. "Nee-chama! Are you alright?! Wow! That was so cool!" She giggled. Noticing the paper Sakila had picked up, she asked, "What's that?" (What IS that?)

The two girls who Kisa only knew as Chia and Dina followed behind her a bit nervously. She rolled her eyes. Dina was clutching her sister's arm and padding along behind her while Chia took long determined strides. Misaki just skipped next to them happily. Whether or not she could read the atmosphere was unknown. "Sakila-" "Kisa. Sakila's my roommate." "Do you think we'll win?" "I plan on it. Unless those two slow us down." She gave them a disgusted look. Chia looked ready to retaliate, but Dina held her back and shook her head no. Idiots. Misaki was strong, fairly athletic looking. She was taller than most of the other contestants and Kisa could use that to her advantage. Plus, she felt as if she should be the most loyal to the girl. She was her... well, friend. She pursed her lips at the thought. Friend, eh? Guess that works. She liked the girl and preferred her over everyone else. Yeah, Misaki was her friend. Why not? Although she'd appreciate it if she called her Kisa--her real name. Hoping the Sakila thing was now behind them, Kisa followed a sign that pointed to another room. Before she left, she looked behind her, noting the antisocial boy teaming up with a scantily-dressed loser, a fat man, and a cowardly little kid. The annoying-as-hell Asian who'd been bothering and bothering her alter-ego since the airport was talking to another girl. Wonder if I can kill him during the game.... He deserves to die on international TV. Kamila was eating and drawing and messing around with her DS and notebook. Besides Misaki... I actually hope she also has a chance of winning. She'd grown fond of the little girl. But only slightly, she reminded herself. No time to get mushy over the competition. Kisa ran a hair through her bob and flipped her heavy bangs to the right before turning back around and entering the room set up for teams. (I'd prefer it if y'all addressed me by Kisa from now on)

Dear Anonymous, What happened? We never used to do this before. Lately, things have been so strained. I can't help but think I've done something wrong but I don't know what. I really hope you're alright. I can't even tell anymore. We used to be so close that I'd immediately know something was up just from your tone. And now, there's this big gap between us. We literally avoid each other. Is it me? Or is there a problem on your end? I feel like we both tried to work it out in our own ways and got shot down by the other unintentionally. Or was it from before that? Now that I think about it, I guess you haven't been the same since THAT incident. There was a short period when you seemed like you were on the road to recovery but now... Well, I don't know. I don't know what to do. I just hope that soon we can come to terms and be content.
