I almost let the neko outta the sack folks! This chapter will put two close tomos at loggerheads with each other and nai it ain’t Vacuumhead and Firebrand either! Some old tomos returned and the Boss decides to head for Onsokamaru! Who’s in sick bay and how did she end up there? Why is Yuri Donovan furious? Who are the newbies? Did the truckers succeed?

ANGEL WINGS

DISCLAIMER: OK Saiya darlin’, it’s all yours. First I wanna thank Mr T for the use of his Angels and stuff. Then I wanna thank everyone else who has been allowing us to use their creations here like Thom Beers for the use of his ice road truckers Hugh, Drew, Rick, Eric, Alex and Bear. I took the liberty of naming the 3WA academy in Furool City on Shimougou after Mr Haruka Takachiho in honour of his creations- the Angels. How was that, Yuri? Great, kiddo. Oh hai it sure was, Kei! Now since we left ya up in the air last time let’s get to Ch 62 without any further meandering, shall we? Why is Zack Zero back and oro does he want with Suba Marina Oki? Can Mandy keep her big mouth shut? A hint re the titles- Aw do ya expect me to spoil it for ya? Oro does this all mean? We’ll find out momentarily gang. The Boss Red Marshall’s on the warpath again! Here ’tis:-

CHAPTER 62

‘Dead Air Time’ or ‘Mountain Mayhem’

Ryuuk with Apple

“Oh hullo there, Ryuuk. Thought it was you, pal. Oro (What) are you doing up here?” asked Gene, tossing Ryuuk an apple which he crunched greedily.

“Light’s asleep and I’m bored. Wanna play some vid games or watch a Terran holovid with me, Captain?” asked the nightmare Shinigami hopefully.

“Might as well seeing as we’re on ‘George’ anyway.” replied Gene.

“Yeah, sounds good to me. Let’s watch ‘Dark Star’ this time. I love watching Tom (Skerritt) talking to those bombs.” drawled Han Solo whom Gene had thought asleep in his co-pilot’s chair.

Before long the trio was ensconced in watching that ancient Terran holovid from the late 20th Century.

Meanwhile Ichigo and Fullmetal had drawn a double shift night patrol detail. Ed’s younger brother Alphonse Elric had opted to tag along to keep his older brother out of mischief. After all Al felt responsible for his brother’s punishment. ‘Cowgirl’ Ed, Moonie and her four scouts had been using Al’s armoured ‘body’ for a drum. Fullmetal had smacked one of the scouts and when Moonie retaliated Ichigo had floored her. All of this had taken place in the rec room in full view of Wing Commander Yuri Donovan. Although a double guard shift was a severe punishment both of them were lucky that the Boss had been on the bridge during that little fiasco or it would have meant the brig for sure for the pair of ‘em.

“It was your own fault, brother. You and Icchi didn’t have to hit anybody. Reisie and her friends weren’t hurting me at all. They were just playing me like a drum. What do you think Granny would say if she knew you were going around hitting little kids?” admonished Al.

Sailor Moon & Tomos

“Little? That ‘cowgirl’ and Moonie are both a lot bigger than your brother, Alphonse! Come to think of it so are Rei and Mina. Mako and Ami aren’t far behind them either. Dont forget, Al. We were protecting you!” yelled the soul reaper guy. Ed bristled and punched Ichigo’s shoulder.

“Who the Hell are you calling a tiny little shrimp, Kurosaki!” he yelled. Al grabbed his brother.

“Brother! Stop that right now. Nobody called you anything. Leave Icchi alone!” scolded the suit of empty armour.

“OK! OK! You’re always forgetting, Al that you’re the ‘Stone’ dammit! What happens if one of those kids accidentally activates you? Have you thought of that, brother? We’d all end up in Never never Land. Aw I’m hungry. Let’s eat, reaper boy.” said Fullmetal.

“Let’s wait until we finish our rounds on this level (4). There’s a rep unit at the stern end of the last hallway.” replied Ichigo. Ed nodded and they both double timed to catch up with Al.

Back in the suite that she shared with ‘Stun Gun’ Millie Thompson, ‘Derringer’ Merrill Stryfe and the quad of ‘WOOHP’ girls Neko Olson was trying (unsuccessfully) to place a relay call to a tomo (friend) of hers aboard the ‘Shalimar’ which was supposedly docked near ‘Remus’. Since the ‘Angel’ was well within ‘Daedalus’s vapor cloud the nekomata trill got no reply. Neko frowned and tried on her vidcell unit. Nothing. She tried again. No such luck.

“Crap! I wonder who the Hell Dorothy’s yakking with at three in the bloody morning! I’ll try Roger instead.” she said, however, after five more attempts she threw the vidcell at the bunk. Luckily it missed the wall and dropped on the mattress. Disgusted, Neko tossed off her kimono and crashed onto her bunk.

Neko Olson the nekomata/cat/trill/human

“Hey! ‘Pinky’ (Kome Sawaguchi the strawberry blonde teen was the ship’s comm officer) said if we broke another vidcell she wasn’t giving us any more! Be careful, ‘Kitty Kat’!” yelled Merrill from her own bunk.

“Shoot! I can’t even reach Tony Rome on ‘Kagura’ and he promised me a date after we get back to the Academy!” sulked Mandy. She wasn’t really a ‘WOOHP’ spygirl although she did hail from the LA Valley area on Terran California. When the spies had been recalled to duty both Mandy and their boss Jerry Lewis had tagged along. Even ‘Gloria’ their personal ‘CC’ program had come aboard with them.

“Maybe you texted in the wrong code?” suggested Clover sweetly.

“I texted the right code, Blondie.” snapped Mandy.

“Funny. I can’t raise anyone on ‘Dantoonine’ and that’s only a day from here.” said Alex.

Caldy with Kei and Yuri

“Do you realize that a ‘day’ here means about 200 lightyears, Al?” giggled Sammy. She was the only one of them still wearing her flight suit. At midnight she had to spell the scanning officer upstairs. Besides Sammy wasn’t the least bit sleepy. Being the electronics whiz of the team Sammy knew it could be the relay lines so she took Alex’s vidcell apart and tweaked it a bit. She tossed it back to the brunette.

“Try it now, Al. See if you can raise ‘Minerva’. Text Lalaru Davies. Remember we met her on ‘Gallifrey’ that time. Her code’s ‘LDD1′ I think.” said the redheaded spygirl.

Alex texted but got no reply. She tried seven more times then gave up.

“Maybe the main wireboxy thingamajig’s screwed up. Go fix it, Sammy.” ordered Mandy.

“Maybe you used up all your minutes, dumbbell.” giggled the blonde spy.

“What minutes?” asked Millie.

“Clover’s just being an asshole, Fatass.” explained Mandy.

“Don’t call Millie that, Mandy! Unless you want a belt in the chops!” said Merrill. Sammy pulled a flight jacket on over her jumpsuit.

“C’mon Alex. Throw something on over your jammies and we’ll check the main relay controls on the first level. I won’t get any peace until these vidcells are working again.” said Sammy.

“OK. Just a sec.” replied Alex who was yanking on jeans and a sweatshirt over her pajamas. She slipped on boots and grabbed her flight jacket and sonic screwdriver which Doctor 2 had given to her for Kurisumasu (Christmas) last year. Sammy hefted a tool box and tossed two pair of gloves to Alex.

“You carry those, Al. Ready?” asked Sammy and Alex zipped up her jacket and nodded. Both girls headed for the lift banks.

Dorothy Wainwright was a pert and cute android robot and she had appointed herself Roger Smith’s maid whether he liked it or not. When Roger and his megadeuce giant robot ‘Big O’ were ordered into battle (‘Paradigm City’ fell under both ‘UG’, ‘GC’ and 3WA jurisdiction) Dorothy naturally tagged along with them. Roger’s butler Norman had opted to stay behind and take care of the Smith mansion. Roger’s old buddy Dan Dastun who had once been a chief on the ‘PC Military Police Force’ was now a high ranking officer, a commodore, of ‘KASP’ and he resided on ‘Kagura’. Dan’s military unit was under ‘ISSP’ command and was already headed for ‘Romulus’ at full speed.

Back aboard the ‘Angel’ Merrill glanced over at her roommie Neko and grimaced. “So you still can’t raise anybody huh?” she said and Neko nodded. The trill was just about to throw her vidcell and then thought better of it and shoved it under her pillow instead.

Millie sat up from the holomag she’s been reading on her PDO and popped half a dozen chocolate truffles into her mouth.

“Mr Gene said we wouldn’t  be able to use our vidcells until tomorrow night. Something about a ‘Dead Loss Niblick’ he said.” explained Millie, cramming even more candy into her mouth.

“Millie! How many times have I told you not to talk with your mouth full? That stuff’s gonna make you fat, girl!” replied Merrill. Neko had a strange look on her kitten-like face.

“Dead Loss Niblick? Oh Christ no! Not ‘Daedalus Nebulae’! Is that oro (what) Captain Star said, Millie?” asked a stunned nekomata catgirl. Millie nodded while Merrill frowned and lit a cigarillo.

“Why? What in the Hell’s so damned special about that place?” demanded the pert Insurance girl from Gunsmoke. Neko stared at her.

“For starters it explains why the Hell our vidcells are all dead. It’s a gas cloud between ‘Minerva’ and ‘Stegeros’, one of ‘Remus’s moons. If we’re real lucky we’ll come out of it somewhere near ‘Stegeros’ and be about two hours away from ‘Remus’ by this time tomorrow night or we could be on the other side of the bloody galaxy. It all depends on which way the solar winds are blowing. It all means–” explained Neko.

“That the Boss is taking another damned shortcut.” finished Merrill. The small brunette stuck her hand in the chocolates’ box and pulled it out again- empty. “Dammit Millie! That’s the third damned box tonight! Lay off the sweets for awhile!” stormed Merrill.

“It’s the fourth box but who’s counting?” giggled Neko. Merrill threw the empty box down the recycle chute.

“Truffles. Chocolate. Assorted. Box. Large.” said Merrill and the replicator spewed out more candy.

“Take it easy or you’ll lose your trim girlish figure, Merrill.” warned Clover who was sipping a strawberry milkshake.

All over the mammoth starship vidcells were misbehaving. Finally Solo announced the reason why over the PA system. Soon thereafter ‘CC’ reported an overload of his memory banks in trying to keep up with the unusually heavy demand for holovids- mostly ancient Terran films and TV shows. Meanwhile Alex and Sammy had arrived at the main surface level and found the main grid relay control systems boxes. After perusing the conglomeration of relays and wiring for ten minutes Sammy pronounced them fine and dandy and admitted she had no idea why their comm equipment wasn’t working. Without warning a heavy hand fell on each girl’s shoulder and they were unceremoniously yanked to their feet.

“Ach Tung! Vatt are you zwei maedchen (two girls) doing down here? Vhy don’t you go back upstairs und play mitt your toys? Gott im Himmel! (God in Heaven!) Haf you two nitvits taken anything apart? (The ‘Green Baron’ Fritz von Dekker shook them harshly and they shook their heads) You are lucky I found you und not der gross (big) doggie demon! Now get back to your rooms und play paper dolls or something safe!” yelled the Baron.

“We were just trying to fix the phones, Herr Fritz, sir!” snapped Alex whose pajamas were showing over her hiphugger jeans. He grinned and tapped a few keys on his PDO and held it out for them to see.

“See that planet there? That is ‘Kagura’ and that one is ‘Remus’ where ve are going. Der big cloud in between them is vhere ve are now and das ist vhy der communicators don’t vork. It blocks der signals. Herr Solo just told us over those. (He pointed at where a PA squawkbox should have been and realized there were none on this main level because as a rule it was never used for anything. Then he smiled.) OK. Now I get it. No squawkboxes down here so you didn’t hear the announcement. Can I trust you to go back to your quarters, liebchen (children)?” said the Baron and he released them. They nodded, saluted and dashed for the lift banks.

“Ach! To be a young vhippersnapper again. If only–” mused Fritz and he continued his rounds.

“Did you hear the news, guys? We got no vidcells until tomorrow night darn it!” sulked Mandy.

“Yeah. We heard. We ran into the old ‘Iron Pilot’ himself. I thought he was gonna turn us over to InuYasha but he let us go finally. I’m going to bed.” replied Alex and she threw off jackets, boots, jeans and sweatshirt. Then she crashed onto her bunk. Sammy explained things to them and then she too sought the Land of Nod. Eventually all of the rest drifted off to sleep and peace claimed part of the ‘Angel’.

Thrice Gene was tempted to forego ‘George’ and change course but each time Han’s advice was the same. “Leave well enough alone, old buddy.”

The next day seemed endless. Mealtimes were still as noisy as ever and the dining hall was packed for the dinner hour at 1700 (5 PM).

The evening bridge crew had the bridge under vampire control with Seras Victoria piloting the ship, Walter at the helm as navvie, Sir Integra Winifred van Helsing as comm officer and Alucard co-piloting for Vicky.

Seras 'Vicky''Police Girl' Victoria, Undead

Integra lit a cigar and frowned at Walter. “What good’s a comm officer if there’s no communications?” she complained.

“About as much good as a pilot who cannot steer the damned ship. We’re stuck on autopilot dammit!” fumed ‘Police Girl’ Vicky who was chain-smoking cigarettes like crazy.

“Those things will kill you one day, ‘Police Girl’.” joked Alucard.

“Ha ha. Very funny.” replied Vicky who, like her master Alucard, was already dead, well, undead anyway.

Alucard of Hellsing Organization

Several levels below them on Sublevel 2 the ‘Ice Road Brigade’ had asked Nyssa and Kouga to teach them how to operate skysleds and skycycles. Kouga had agreed immediately but it had taken several blueberry milkshakes (liberally laced with Romulan Ale) before Nyssa had consented.

“Who’s gonna go first?” asked the wolf.

Nami from Alabasta City

“Me!” chorused Drew and Rick.

“OK. I’ll take Rick. Nyssa, you can have Drew.” he replied, shoving Rick inside ‘Everest’ while Drew helped a slightly tipsy Trakken girl into ‘Matterhorn’ and took his seat at the controls.

“Everybody buckle up and strap in.” ordered Kouga.

“Wave your hand across the console.” he instructed and a dubious Rick and Drew complied. The roar of the sleds’ mighty engines was deafening in the confined space.

“Pull back on the throttle, that thing in front of you, Mr Drew.” slurred Nyssa. The sled rose several feet above the deck.

Rick followed suit and Kouga pointed to the speed bar which was part of the steering arm.

Nyssa placed Drew’s right hand over the ‘Matterhorn’s speed bar.

“Press down on the bar but not too–” said the youkai as the ‘Everest’ shot forward at almost 200 kph or 175 miles per hour!

“Lean your steering arm hard left– now!” yelped Kouga as Rick barely managed to avoid crashing headfirst into the airlock portals.

Drew’s sled was spinning wildly out of control after Nyssa had passed out and fell into his arms. Drew was panic stricken so he simply let go of the arm and the throttle causing the ‘Matterhorn’ to drop to the ground like a pole-axed steer.

Miraculously Rick suddenly got the hang of steering arm, throttle and speed bar. He was zipping around the walls and caterwauling at the top of his lungs when–

“Vatt der Sam Hell ist going on down here!” howled Fritz von Dekker who had only just finished dealing with two miscreant kids two flights up. The ‘Green Baron’ had been dispatched to check out the flashing amber lights from Sublevel 2.

“See oro (what) the Hell’s going on down in the bays, Fritz!” were the orders trilled to him from InuYasha a few moments ago. The big hanyou was the new security chief.

“Ja sure, Herr Doggie Boy. Probably just a glitch in der systems of Mr ‘CC’ ist all it vill turn out to be.” had been von Dekker’s retort.

“Where’s that mangy wolf, Kikyo?” and ‘How the Hell should I know? He’s your tomo (friend), not mine!” had filtered through Fritz’s comlink before it had gone dead. Security HQ was Level 7 near Yuri’s office.

Fritz reholstered his blaster and yanked Eric and Bear from beneath a shuttlecraft where they had both dove for cover from the runaway skysleds.

“Joyriding vere ve, yentlemen?” roared the ‘Green Baron’ in a voice of thunder.

Then I wanna thank everyone else who has been allowing us to use their creations here like Thom Beers for the use of his ice road truckers Hugh, Drew, Rick, Eric, Alex and Bear. I took the liberty of naming the 3WA academy in Furool City on Shimougou after Mr Haruka Takachiho in honour of his creations- the Angels. How was that, Yuri? Great, kiddo. Oh hai it sure was, Kei!

Can Mandy keep her big mouth shut? A hint re the titles- Aw do ya expect me to spoil it for ya? Oro does this all mean? We’ll find out momentarily gang. The Boss Red Marshall’s on the warpath again! Here ’tis:-

CHAPTER 60

‘A Kindred Soul’ or ‘Unexpected Instructors’

“Have the good captain brought up to my quarters. He appears to be civilized so you needn’t use a muzzle nor the shackles. Just the force beam cuffs. I’ll be waiting.” ordered the Red Marshall.

When poor Leth regained conciousness his wrists were encircled by some strange kind of glowing energy and he was seated in an armchair in some sort of sitting room. He pulled and pulled but the beams held despite his tremendous dragon strength.

“Strange. These light beams resist my strength yet they seem so flimsy. Their composition is like nothing I have ever before encountered.” he mused aloud.

“That energy beam’s base is a metal called ‘Kelvinite’, Captain. That stuff’s a thousand times stronger than steel and a few hundred times harder than adamite, oro (what) you would know as diamond. If you promise to be a good little boy I’ll have ‘em taken off. Gonna behave yourself? (He nodded) Swear?” said the redhead.

“By the sacred honour of my clan, Madam.” he intoned.

“OK ‘CC’, you can release him.” she said and the beams vanished!

“Magic and sorcery?” asked an awestruck dragon.

“Nope. Just science and technology.” replied the Boss who was now wearing her Marshall’s uniform jacket over her torn sweatshirt and cutoff jeans. Kei still wore the same red ankle boots she’d used on the hapless dragon warrior.

“As you can see I am a Marshall in the 3WA and ‘United Galactica’ so I outrank you several times over, Captain. Sorry for the boot in the gut I gave you but dammit you asked for it, boyo! Of course I did forget that a kick while in deep space is fifty times stronger than it would be on the surface of a world so I apologize for knocking your ass out. I meant to simply boot you in the gut. Oro (What) the Hell are you gawking at, D’Greele?” said Keirran O’Halloran.

“You knocked ME out with one kick? We’re in outer space? You are a Marshall and you are in charge of this fiasco? Is all of that true?” asked an astounded dragon.

“Quite correct on all counts, sir. This is indeed our commanding officer, Marshall Keirran Maureen Deirdre O’Shaughnessy O’Halloran of the ‘World Welfare Works Association’ which is the peace keeping arm of the ‘United Galactica Federation of Galaxies’ and we are in outer space. This is K-Class patrol starship ‘Lovely Angel 2′ and the Boss’s kicks do pack quite a wallop especially when she delivers them in deep space. I beg your pardon, sir. I am the ‘Central Computer Programming Unit’ of the 3WA and the ‘UG’, however, everyone usually just calls me ‘CC’, Captain Lethbridge D’Greele of the ‘Symphonian Dragoon Guards’ or would you prefer Leth? (The dragon dragoon nodded dumbly) Excellent. You need not look so shocked, Leth. I analyzed your brain’s sine waves and I have now recorded that information into my memory banks. May I wish you both a most pleasant good evening. Sayonara my tomos (friends).” intoned the for once civil ‘CC’.

Kei nonchalantly tossed her jacket on the floor and plopped down onto her sofa. Her booted feet rested atop her glass coffee table. Her deep emerald aizu (eyes) searched his reddish golden orbs. Kei indicated the replicator.

“A drink, Leth? Just call me Kei or Boss. Everyone does. We don’t stand on ceremony around her, me boyo.” she said.

“Yes, thank you. A tankard of cold ale would be very nice, Boss.” he replied.

“Ale. House. Cold. In a tankard.” she ordered and a foaming tankard of icy cold ale magically appeared.

“Your ale, Leth.” she added and poured out three fingers of ‘Jameson’s for herself. Leth stared at the girl. “We can replicate any damned thing we want but for me nothing’s quite the same as real genuine Irish whiskey. How’s your ale?” asked the Boss, downing her brew in one quick gulp. Leth took a sip and then drained his tankard.

“Hey! That is damned good stuff, Boss! (He stared at her) So it is true then? You really are in command? Really and truly?” he said.

“Yup. Cross my heart and hope to die. Marshall Keirran Maureen Deirdre O’Shaughnessy O’Halloran, 3WA, ‘UG’, commanding. At your service, Captain D’Greele. More ale?” replied the redhead.

Leth held out his tankard. “Yes, please! I never tasted its like before!” said the astonished dragoon.

“Of course not. It’s oro (what) we call ‘aoishi (blue) ale’ but it’s really a potent ‘Romulan’ fortified liquor and it ain’t unlike old Terran Erin or Ireland’s ‘poteen’. However, a replicator can duplicate anything. (She handed him a fresh tankard) Go easy on it though because it’s got quite a kick, Leth.” she chuckled.

Leth laughed. “How strong can this brew possibly be? A hundred, a hundred twenty proof?” he asked and took a helthy swig.

“Try three or four hundred proof, tomo (friend).” answered an impish Kei. Leth went even more green than he already was and spat out his last swallow all over the Red Marshall. She glared at him and then grinned. Then they both began laughing like hyenas.

“Then there was that time Yuri almost got hitched to a godfather’s kid but I spoiled the nuptials (just in time!) by blowing up the church on the day of the damned wedding! The vacuumhead still swears that I done that on purpose but I didn’t! That church was the front for a major counterfeiting ring. (Kei chuckled) I can still see her face when I crashed the party wearing that nun’s habit! Yuri must’ve thought that I’d really and truly taken the bloody vows!” howled a far from sober tro-con.

Sister Kei with a cannon! Say your prayers folks!

“Yeah only most nuns don’t run around with submachine guns, you dipstick! Hello there, Captain D’Greele. Wing Commander Yuri Donovan, her exec. Please call me Yuri. By the way how’s your tummy tum feeling? I heard that the airhead booted you in the gut. (Leth stared at the newcomer) I also do double duty as the ship’s medic and I’m as close to a real doctor as you’ll find aboard. We do have three ‘doctors’ but they are just time lords. (She turned to the repper) Tea. Earl Grey. Hot. Please.” said Yuri who seated herself at the kitchenette’s counter after picking up her repped cup of tea.

Yuri is Santa's elf and she'd melt Scrooge's cold heart on the spot!

“Very nice to meet you, Miss Yuri. My– gut is feeling just fine now. In retrospect I guess I really deserved that kick. I was trying to take the law into my hands. Dammit I really did want to end the ‘Shadow Master’s life. Haru, Elie and Musicaa would not have been very pleased at all had I done that and I am certainly glad that no authorities were around when I attempted that litle stunt!” replied Leth D’Greele. Both tro-cons gave him curious looks before grinning. Poor Leth wondered what the Hell the big joke was. Then they explained.

“We ARE police officers, Captain and out here we ARE the law. This is a K-Class patrol starship and we’re both tro-cons , trouble consultants and we are fully empowered to take whatever actions are necessary to maintain peace and uphold intergalactic law.” explained Yuri quietly. Leth repped himself up a sixth tankard of ‘ale’ and laughed heartily. “Sure and I suppose that means doing some ‘eliminating’ should the need arise?” he chortled. Suddenly the tro-cons’ smiles vanished from their faces.

“If we deem it necessary you’re damned right it does, me boyo.” replied Kei woodenly.

“Absolutely necessary is oro (what) she means, Captain.” added the svelte wing commander.

“Just call me Leth. I think I’ll turn in early, ladies. Good evening to you.” said the dragon warrior. Yuri tossed her teacup down the recycle chute and got to her feet.

“I’ll see you to your quarters, Leth. I’ll talk to YOU in the morning, Kei. Good night. C’mon Leth. Upsy daisy.” So saying she propped the tipsy dragon against her shoulder. With his arm around her shoulders and her arm around his back she gently propelled him to the lift and then up to the newcomers’ suite on Level Four. She pressed the door klaxon and waited. Suddenly the door flashed open.

“Mr Leth! Are you intoxicated, sir? Sssh! Please be quiet. Everyone’s sleeping. Thank you very much for seeing that he got home safely, Miss. Not every cleaning lady would take the trouble to help out like that. Good night, my dear.” said a small stubby grey blob that had answered the door. Yuri fumed but then she decided that in the dimness of the hallway that her uniform must resemble a chamber maid’s outfit. Before she could reply to ‘it’ the portal had swished shut leaving her alone in the dark corridor.

Inside the suite Griff (for of course it was he!) had put Leth to bed in a lower bunk. Ruby awakened and rubbed his aizu (eyes).

“What’s up, boyo? Is that Mr D’Greele? Boyo! He smells like a brewery!” yelped the frog-like creature in the top bunk. Griff put a finger to his lips.

“Sssh! He’s in his cups now but he’ll be OK by the morning. Go back to sleep, Ruby. Whatever you do please don’t wake up Miss Elie after I finally got her to sleep. Mr Haru and Mr Musicaa insisted on checking out this vessel and I hope that they don’t get into any trouble. Good night.” whispered Griff but Ruby had already dozed off.

At that moment on another level of the ship– “Halt! Who goes there? Come back here or I’ll fire dammit!” shouted Rukia Kutschki.

“Good luck Haru. You’re on your own this time.” said Musicaa and he dashed for the gantryway stairs. Haru bolted down the corridor and headed for the lift banks. He didn’t quite make it.

Leth D’Greele laughed aloud in his sleep as he recalled the circumstances of his initial encounters with the ‘Deadly Dynamic Duo’ and then ruefully recollected how he had failed so miserably at trying to outdrink the Red Marshall.

“Oro’s (What’s) the big joke, D’Greele?” asked John Raven.

“Just reminiscing, Raven. Have you known the Boss and the Duchess long?” asked the dragon dragoon guard.

“Only a few years, D’Greele but sometimes it feels more like an eternity. Don’t worry, my friend. You too will soon get used to them.” chuckled the ‘ISSP’ commander. He was rudely interrupted.

“Soup’s on! Come and get your grub!” bellowed Goat Smith’s voice over the PA system. A tall lanky guy leaned over and whispered in John’s ear.

“I hear tell this is goona be a ‘real’ not a ‘repped’ dinner, John.” drawled Captain Han Solo and Captain Gene Starwind nodded in agreement.

“Yeah I know and that ‘usually’ means that Her Royal Eminence has more bad news to give us!” added Gene glumly.

There being no room for him at the demons’ table (Arigatou Kami or Thank God!) Raven opted to join the ‘Rave Master’s party. The ‘Cowboy Bebop’ troupe, the Alchemists’ band, the ‘Pokemon’ gang and ‘Crybaby’s (Prince John) Royal contingent were their tablemates. A pert and pretty brunette with a heavy ’surfer’ tan jetted over to their table. She smiled and pulled out a PDO (personal data organizer). She began reading a litany of tonight’s menu.

“We got Beef Wellington, Bruschetta, garlic potatoes, candied yams, veggie medley, cornbread stuffing, corn pudding, Waldorf sald, fruit compote, Sauvignon Blanc 2117, java and for dessert we have a vanilla souffle. You guys can have anything else you want but it’ll be ‘repped’ not ‘real’ homemade cooking. Edward Appledore! Stoip throwing rolls into Alphonse’s armour! Control your kid, Faye! (The ‘cowgirl’ looked daggers at her) Sorry about that, folks. Ready to order now?” asked Perpigillian ‘Peri’ Winkle Brown. Doctor 6’s Terran Miami Beach companion had been pressed into service as a waitress along with Mireille and Kira the ‘NOIR’ girls and Clover, Alex, Sammy and Mandy the three ‘WOOHP’ spies and their bratty schoolchum when Moonie and all of her sailor/soldier scouts had come down with the mumps!

Rin, Misty and Ash had all contracted chicken pox while Genie, Merrill, Melissa and Ila the ‘Rune Soldier’ treasure hunters, ‘Derringer’ Merrill Stryfe and ‘Stun Gun’ Millie Thompson the ‘Insurace’ girls and even Bulma Brief (Saiyaan Vegeeta was her hubby) had inexplicably come down with measles at the same time!

Sick Bay was so full up that Yuri had opened SB substations on Levels 4 and 1. Her mumps’ patients she isolated on Level 1 right next to the suite housing her measles’ patients.

Everyone finally decided on Tracy Edwards’ home cooked dinner extravaganza and for once there was no bad news. It seemed that this feast’s purpose was a ‘thank you’ for John Raven and his men as well as a chance for Kei to announce some good news for a change. They were lifting off for ‘Romulus’ at 0400 hours, 4 AM ashita (tomorrow) morning that being the only time a ‘window’ would be open for the next 18 solar monts. Raven was invited to bring his troops along and accompany them but John politely declined this offer. His ‘ISSP’ and ‘KASP’ troops had their own missions to complete so by midnight he and most of his forces had returned to their ‘Onsokamaru’ camps.

Lt Moran and two of his ’sappers’ had elected to remain aboard in order to instruct the operators on the new ‘Double O Riser’ Gundams. The operators of course were Captain Jonathan Harlock and his ward Lt Neko Olson.

At 0400 exactly Gene smoothly lifted off ‘Onsokamaru’ and the ‘Unholy 4′ (Kei, Yuri, Mar, Kome) breathed a collective sigh of relief. Marlene Angel had recovered sufficiently from her near fatal ordeal to be permitted to sit in the ‘Star Room’ (Observation Lounge) on Level 7 for a few hours each day. The interim ‘navvie’ (navigator) was Zoe Morton with Nami Richards assisting her. Helping out Leila in the galley was Nyssa the Trakken girl in place of Zoe. Nat, Kome and the ‘railgun’ crew practiced constantly. Yuri, Sakura, Temari, Winry, Izumi and Ten Ten were rushed off their feet nursemaiding all the patients. With Yuri so busy and Mar still convalescing they needed a new executive officer so Kei chose Light Yagami whom (it turned out) was a brilliant strategist and a superb statistician. The sight of Ryuuk (his Shinigami death god who followed Light everywhere. He had no choice so long as Light still had the book.) was more than a bit unnerving at first, however, in a few days the bridge crews had become acclimated to the terrifying Shinigami and just ignored him. Kei spent every single waking moment on the ‘holodecks’ (Level Eight) running endless ‘God Gun’ scenarios hoping that she never had to use them. Jon Harlock and Neko Olson were drilled nonstop on the Gundams by Lt Sebastian Moran and his two callous cadre. InuYasha was appointed new security chief. Kei had reluctantly allowed Kouga the wolf youkai demon to be their new quad gunner in place of Neko. The ‘Blonde Bomber’ (Minnie Mae ‘Kitten’ Hopkins) was supervising the construction of portable bombs and grenades. Rally’s scanning partner was newcomer Elie whose other companions had all become fighting instructors. Revy Roberts the ‘Creature from the Black Lagoon’) and Emma ‘Queen Emeraldas’ (Jon Harlock’s niece) were giving marksmanship lessons to passengers and crew alike. There were ‘no’ exceptions. The mages, magicians, sorcerers, sorceresses, wizards, alchemists and the like were ordered to conduct magic lessons and hold mystical sessions. Again there were ‘no’ exceptions.

“Those durn fools are just showing off if you ask me! Looks like we are ‘all’ going to be ‘dogs of the military’ whether we like it or not!” observed Pinato ‘Granny’ Rockabelle.

Of course she was right. Granny is hardly ever wrong you know. Everone aboard was preparing for the big upcoming battle against the forces of Grand Admiral Thrawn and Count Dooku.

Granny was in the galley telling (and showing) Leila how a ‘civilized’ lady cooks dinner. Four levels above their heads Captain Kiva Nerese of ‘Starfleet’ was fuming!

Her ‘USS Coriander’ crew’s orders were simple and concise. They were to maintain the mighty ‘God Gun’ on Deck 6 which in a way really WAS Deck 6. Kiva and her crew ached for action, however, orders were orders so they had better just grin and bear it, make the best of it and hope. A few long hours after liftoff Kiva took a break and went down to the bar leaving Mr Bishop in charge of the detail.

“Ka-Mi! Do I ever hate that blasted ‘God Gun’! Ever try swabbing down a two miles long deck and then having to swab the walls and ceiling too?” complained Kiva. The Bjorn captain was covered with grease and grime from head to toe.

“Tell me about it, mum! That Sebby Moran’s a slave driver! Simon Legree could pick up pointers from him! I’m getting so woozy from that liquidy ‘Ataron’ gas we need to be immersed in to pilot those bloody ‘Double O Risers’, Cap!” agreed Neko Olson who’d been undergoing intensive training to learn to pilot those two new Gundams along with her ‘Uncle’ Jon Harlock.

“Gimme a double rock & rye, Griffy and keep ‘em coming! Holy Mother Mary! I ‘loathe’ railguns!! Now Solo’s got us doing double speed drills on the shimatta (damned) things!” cursed Lt Cmdr (Acting Commodore) Naturle ‘Nat’ Badgiruel Edwards (Tracy the chef from last evening was her husband). The nekomata human/trill/shapeshifter glanced over at the newcomer.

“Solo? I thought you were the gun team crew chief, Nat?” said a confused Neko.

“I was dammit! That is until Her Royal Eminence’s new ‘grand vizier’ (Light Yagami) decided that Han had had more railgun experience than I had! Now he’s crew chief and I’ve been demoted to loader. Where’s that drink, Griffy?” complained Nat.

“Here you go, ma’am. Sorry but when I left him this morning Mr D’Greele was still feeling a bit under the weather and I’m worried about him, ma’am.” explained Griff. Kiva grinned malisciously.

“Why? What’s wrong with the great sky dragon now, kid?” she asked.

“Well it’s true he was a little ‘in his cups’ last evening when that nice chambermaid delivered him home last evening. I have never seen her before so the girl must be new and– I say! There she is now! Excuse me! Yo! Come over here, my girl! That’s an order! (The new ‘maid’ came over) Tell the captain here (he pointed to poor Kiva) exactly what happened to Mr D’Greele last night. I say! Speak up, woman! I just gave you an order!” shouted the grey blob angrily. He was not used to uppity servants like this girl. It did puzzle him, however, why the captain, lieutenant and lieutenant commander suddenly leaped to their feet and saluted this violet-maned chambermaid, a mere servant! After all Lt Cmdr Edwards was an acting commodore so wasn’t she the ranking officer there? Musicaa grabbed Griff and boxed his ears. Then he whispered in the grey pudding thing’s ear.

“You dim-witted dolt! That’s no chambermaid! That’s the executive officer- Wing Commander Yuri Donovan! Next to Reds she’s top dog aboard this crate, stupid! Light’s only filling in for her during this kids’ epidemic we have aboard. Leth probably got himself drunk on that blue ale stuff we all ahd only he got to meet the big cheese and we didn’t, not yet anyway. Now behave yourself and gimme a Skotch & soda. Thanks.” said the leader of the ‘Silver Rhythm Band’ and he politely stood up until Yuri had taken a stool at the bar.

“White Zinfandel, please. Your Mr D’Greele will be right as rain in a day or so. He made the cardinal error of trying to outdrink the Boss and nobody can accomplish that feat, my tomo (good friend).” said Yuri.

“How’s the ‘God Gun’ detail going, Kiva?” asked the exec.

“Fine, mum. (Kiva glanced at the wall chromo behind Griff and Ruby) Look at the time. Well I’d better get back to work. Later gang.” replied Kiva.

“Yeah. Lt Moran’s gonna be sending out a search party for me if I don’t get back to class. If you’ll excuse me, ma’am.” said Neko.

“Kami! The pirate will have kittens if I’m late back for drill. Hold up, Kiva and I’ll ride up with you. Nice to see you, Wing Commander.” said Nat and she too dashed off. Yuri smiled ruefully at Musicaa.

“Well? Don’t you have somewhere you gotta be, Mr Musicaa?” she asked and sipped her white wine. Yuri unlike others of her geneology (Gaels/Irish) rarely touched anything stronger than wine or beer.

Musicaa grinned at her and lit a cigarette. He offered her one and Yuri accepted it. He lit it for her and chuckled.

“Somewhere to be? Me? Nope. I’m laying low for awhile,Miss Yuri. Last night Haru (Glory aka the ‘Rave Master’) got caught by that soul reaper babe (Rukia) and she took him to see that big doggie thing (InuYasha was new security chief). He wanted to know why Haru was hanging around the armoury and when Haru told him he was just out for a moonlight stroll the doggie put him on KP duty. Imagine that! The ‘RAVE Master’ scrubbing pots and pans!” he chortled. Yuri stared back coolly.

“Funny. I thought you were with him on that stroll? Well, weren’t you?” she asked.

“Yeah but I ducked into a stairwell and hot-footed it back to our place. Discretion is oftentimes the better part of valour, Wing Comm- I mean Miss Yuri.” he answered.

“You can drop the ‘Miss’, Musicaa. Just call me Yuri. Didn’t the Boss tell you that we don’t stand on ceremony around here?” she replied. He pointed at the retreating forms of Kiva, Nat and Neko.

“Then why’d they all salute you?” he asked and Yuri shrugged her shoulders. She drained her glass and signalled Ruby for a refill.

“Kiva’s with ‘Starfleet’, Nat was with the ‘Earth Alliance’ and Neko’s been in quite a few different armies. Disciplinary training’s a hard thing to forget, tomo (good friend) mine. (Yuri patted his forearm and stood up. She polished off her second Zinny and waved off another refill) I’ll have a quiet word with InuYasha. He’s your ‘big doggie thing’, Musicaa. I’ll tell him that Haru’s not a spy and he’ll rescind the punishment. We certainly can’t have the ‘RAVE Master’ getting dishpan hands now, can we?” she giggled.

A striking young redhead was sipping a strawberry ice cream soda at another table in the rec room. She glanced across at the big guy who was shring the table with her. Taller than Haru but not as tall as Musicaa or Leth he was impressive. His name when she had asked Faye Valentine was James ‘Jimbo’ Hawking and he was Gene Starwind’s first mate on his ‘Outlaw Star’ freighter ship. Now he mainly co-piloted when needed or just lounged around. Faye had told her that from one fellow gambler to another ‘Jimbo’ knew where to find the best action aboard the ‘LA2′ but she also told Elie that gambling was not permitted by the 3WA and ‘UG’ higher-ups either. This was of course, as we all know, a bald-faced lie of the highest water!

“Where can I find some action around her, Mr Hawking? Miss Valentine said you knew all the places aboard ship.” asked Elie suddenly. ‘Jimbo’ and Faye exchanged winks and the ‘cowgirl’ smiled impishly. She mouthed the name ‘Junpei’ and pointed at the deck floor. Hawking raised his glass for a refill. Faye took the refill from Griff and walked over to ‘Jimbo’ and Elie.

“Here ya go, ‘Jimbo’. Did you tell this kid about the big game going on downstairs? The ‘Elf FragmentsPoker Session’ with Junpei?” said Faye stifling a giggle.

“No, not yet. Faye, that’s pretty high stakes, ya know! Can this kid handle it?” asked a suddenly serious James Hawking. An actor extraordinaire is our ‘Jimbo’, that he is!

“I’ve got plenty!” cried Elie brandishing a wad of ‘Symphony Notes’, the currency of ‘Symphonia’.

“Put those away before somebody sees them.” seethed Faye.

“OK I’ll give you the details, kid.” said ‘Jimbo’ and Faye folded her arms and stalked away.

“My advice to you, kid, is to forget it. That game’s not for you, trust me!” said Faye, ordering another double Skotch.

“You sure about this, Miss Elie? (Elie nodded eagerly) Go to the third lift car over there and tell it to take you to ‘Sublevel 2. Western Quadrant’ and then locate Slot 10-R. You can’t possibly miss it because it’s got a mammoth M-17 tank in it. The guy there is named Junpei. Tell him that you have a spell fragment from Elfland. You understand that? (Ellie nodded again) Good. Don’t forget it. That is the code we use because both the ‘UG’ and the 3WA frown on gambling, Miss Elie. (He pointed at Elie’s twin thundersticks) Better leave those noisemakers with me. No weapons are permitted belowdecks. (Elie reluctantly unbucked her weapons belt and handed it and her twin blasters over to Hawking.) Good luck, kiddo.” said ‘Jimbo’ and crossed his fingers. Elie crossed hers and hurried over to the lift banks. She’d no sooner left when ‘Jimbo’, Faye and half the rec room’s occupants burst out laughing. It seemed everyone was in on this prank.

“You do know oro’s (what’s) going to happen when she recites that doggerel litany to our Junpei, don’t you?” asked Jamie Wilson and Hawking nodded.

“And do you know oro’s (what’s) going to happen when Miss Elie tells anyone who sent her down there to say it, don’t you?” asked Goat Smith. Again ‘Jimbo’ nodded albeit no as confidently as before.

“Well she’s the one that wanted some action and Junpei is just the guy to give her some for sure!” chortled Faye Valentine who was already three sheets to the wind.

END of Ch 60. Ch 61 soon. Getting interesting eh? Wonder how our heroine’s gonna get outta this one? Read on and r/r/s away as always. Have a wunnerful day and sfn/sys/jm/Kami bless you all for your interest and assistance. Hooble-toodle-doo! Toodles tomos watashi-K&K

Visto Hatsukoi Limited!

Ellos no son las chicas Hatsukoi ~ solo son un trio de bobos XD

Me preparé bastante para ver este anime, primero que nada quise conocer mas a fondo el estilo de Mizuki Kawashita, por medio de un clásico del anime ecchi y obra que le dio relativa popularidad: Ichigo 100%.

Anime que me parecio malo, francamente.

Pero Hatsukoi Limited es una diferente historia, un anime muy bonito de 12 capitulos que nos cuenta las historias amorosas de varias de nuestras chicas principales combinado con una comedia sana y un ligero toque ecchi.

Son como arcos pues, arcos de cada chica de uno o dos capitulos máximo. Hubo un arco que no me gusto y otro que me parecio regular, los otros 3 o 4 (no recuerdo exactamente el # de arcos) me gustaron bastante y me llegaron >__<!

Algo a destacar es el final, puff!! rara, pero rara vez me quedo conforme o al menos medianamente conforme con los finales de anime, este fue un final soberbio que yo pense que no lo seria por falta de tiempo, pero que bah! excelente final! 10.

Ahora vamos a lo concerniente y mas importante del tema ~, sus chicas.
♥ Las chicas Hatsukoi ♥

Al principio iva a nombrar a solo dos, a Yamamoto-san (una de las chicas mas HOT que he visto en el mundo del manga/anime) y a Koyoi-chan con su desenfrenado y divertido amor por su onii-chan (si, por su hermano O_O). Pero es que fue tanto el crecimiento de todas las chicas Hatsukoi que de verdad, la mayoria logran tocar el cielo. Quede muy impresionado con el tremendo crecimiento de todas las chicas Hatsukoi.

Empezaré con Ayumi-chan, a ella le gusta el hermano del chico-monstruo que se le declaró (que rollo, ¿no? XD).

Se podria decir que ella es el personaje principal de Hatsukoi Limited, o al menos a la que mas referencia hacen ._.

Ahora nombraré a Koyoi-Chan ♥__♥

Ella tiene un amor descarado pero muy divertido hacia “su onii-chan”, jajaja es una monada de niña y además me recuerda demasiado a Yomitzuka-senpai de Tsukihime, de verdad se parecen mucho fisicamente.

Chikura y Koyoi ~

La siguiente chica Hatsukoi que nombraré: Chikura

Ella mola bastante, es muy timida, muy callada pero muy linda y con un gran corazón. No se porque me recuerda a alguien, pero no recuerdo exacatamente quien, su personalidad se me hace muy familiar o es que he visto a muchas chicas de su tipo XD.

Chikura y Koyoi ~

Siguiente  chica Hatsukoi: Kei-chan

Fue la que mas creció como personaje de entre todas las chicas. Una chica muy materialista, presumida y porsupuesto, una lindura (xD) cuyo lema era “lo importante es el exterior”.  Despues se trago sus palabras y cambio su lema por otro donde denota su harto crecimiento como personaje al enamorarse de un chico “cara de Kappa”.

Y la ultima chica que mencionaré, una de las chicas mas HOT que he visto en un manga/anime. Yamamoto-san ♦__♦

Es que ufff….!!! las imagenes hablan por si solas, y el colmo de los colmos es que no cree en el amor, no le gusta ningun chico (al menos al principio..).  Hay 2 chicos que estan perdidamente enamorados de ella y esos chicos tienen mucha relación con la historia, estan directamente relacionados con Koyoi y Ayumi.

Me faltaron algunas chicas pero estas son las que realmente queria mencionar xD

Y agregar que el ending de Hatsukoi Limited, Hatsukoi Limited es MUY bueno. No me viciaba tanto con una canción desde Oblivious de Kalafina y Don´t  say “lazy” de K-ON!, escuchenlo… ^^

Hatsukoi Limited – Marble

Y como dato adicional, el mejor fansub para verse este anime es KKF, cuyo enlace esta en el menú derecho en el apartado “fansubs preferidos” ^^

Aqui pueden descargar el anime: [KKF] Hatsukoi Limited (12/12).

Kei Dallmer has been one of my closest friends since I was nine years old. On the first day of class of fourth grade, fate had it that she and I wound up sitting next to each other in homeroom. About a week later, she was my best friend. It’s funny how quick that happens when you’re nine.

Kei is hardcore after getting face-planted with a cupcake.

In any case, we are now 20 years old and are still close friends. She came from our hometown, Marlton, N.J., to visit me at Rowan. During Kei’s visit, she made a baked apple for the camera, taking the audience through each step of making an easy-to-make recipe she and I found on Recipezaar.com.

Wazzup Everyone! I’ll be putting up some EPIC into this blog!

Better Get Ready! =D

This is an artist I’ve been following for a while now, and I have yet to be disappointed in them, though I don’t always support the sort of things they draw.  I think the full version of that Hanekawa Tsubasa (Bakemonogatari) thumbnailed to the side is a good depiction of their style and the sorts of things they draw.

Namely, big or at least larger than usual boobs, blushes, and sex appeal.  However!  The artist does draw other things as well.  For instance, this perfectly suitable Nagato.

On the other hand, a majority of images by this artist show partial nudity, girls on a bed, girls in pajamas, girls with headphones (love!), or a combination of the bunch.

The artist also seems to like megane, which is fine by me.  Their megane and headphones combinations are quite cute, and their art has just enough shine to accentuate the best parts or just brighten up an otherwise dark theme in their work.

I also like this artist because they’ve done some of the best Bakemonogatari fanart I’ve seen.  For instance, they’re about the only one who’s done a really great work of the Arararararagi twins.

Other standouts include Pan, Aoyama’s Umineko crossover, Nekoro’s Shinobu, Hinasaki’s Shinobu, and of course redjuice’s Shinobu, which introduced me to the Bakemonogatari world.  There’s more art out there, but these are the ones that sit on the top of my head.  (And some of these may be a little familiar…)

Anyway, the artist is also able to do nice originals that bring forward angles or ideas that we don’t often see in art.  Though, I will admit I only like half of this image.  The view from the inside of the car is interesting, but the cigarettes are not so much.  I always feel like cigarettes kill artwork a little bit.  They’re just something so negative invading a likely positive piece of work.  It’s rare to see them used in a negative work of art though weirdly.  Of course, KEI pulls it off.

But to sum the artist up, there is a good balance in ability to do both series character and create their own.  Plus, they’re quite able to depict characters in ways most artists don’t.  For instance, un-made up and working.  I just like their range and their use of color.  Enough that I smile when I see their pixiv updates (but frown when I see a bit too much fanservice).

Basically!  Pretty art, but be warned because it’s sexy.

And yes, I know I said I was going to do a post about something different than usual, and I am!  But Kokoro updated today, and it was so easy to make this post, etc.  So…yeah.

I have just returned from Tokyo, for the second time in two years very nice to once again see  the land of the rising sun. Obviously I had an excellent time, its hard not to have fun in Japan whatever you are into. Cars and motoring play a large part of my interest so I was keen to see how things have moved on since my last adventure there.
Visiting any foreign shore throws up differences in their  motoring habbits. For example, when I was in Germany, playing on the Nurburgring, the German marques outnumbered the rest two to one, lowly Golfs stealing the limelight as they overtook just about everything! Japan is no different. There are a wide diversity of cars that you will never see unless you visit the country, from mundane stuff like small trucks zipping around the narrow streets of the suburbs, to the crazily priced Toyota Century, that looks like it was designed in 1980 but sports a V12 engine and a 12,000,000 Yen price tag (yes, thats twelve million yen…)

From what I saw in the Toyota showroom it seems Hybrid engines really are the future, big 3 litre v6 both in front wheel and rear wheel drive transmission sporting an electric motor in its gearbox. I am not sure on the performance of this arrangement but the way its pitched and the majority way of thinking about motoring it Japan this really doesnt matter.

From my observations, the Japanese driver doesnt want to be bothered too much about 0-100km speed, he isnt too fussed about cornering ability or redline noise (which is odd from a country that gave us the Honda B series and Toyota 4AGE engine) No, the average Japanese motorist wants a gentle soothing ride, his emissions low,  his engine economical and his cogs swapped for him. He wants a decent cup holder rather than a snappy gearbox. From the outside it’s nice to watch, on an average day at Shibuya crossing, cars, vans and trucks glide quietly on super smooth tarmac almost as if they were already fully electrically powered.

It’s all very nice, but the question kept nagging me, ‘what happens when it all goes horribly wrong?’ When the computer goes wobbly or the electric motor refuses to switch over to petrol? Who is going to fix it? Not your home mechanic, indeed it’s almost impossible to do any real home repairs on modern cars these days, even changing a headlamp bulb involves removing half the front of the car, something most people would rather leave to the dealers. Then it struck me, these are Japanese cars that are as reliable as a sunrise, added to the fact that the Japanese tend to change their cars every week due to stupidly expensive testing, like our MOT on steroids, they dont really have to worry that much as warranties cover most of the really pricey bits.

We get all of their cast offs, the Skylines and Chasers that are just too expensive to fix, which is great for us now, and probably for a few years to come but soon there will come a time they will dry up and the only hot import you will get from Japan is a Toyota thats half milk-float. Still, it’s not all doom and gloom. The rebellious spirit is still very much alive, take a stroll along Harajuku bridge any given Sunday and see cosplayers in all sorts of strange clothes, a little further on guys dressed in 1950’s leather and sporting huge, gravity defying quiffs dance to Rock and Roll. Wait there longer and you will see the odd Mustang burble by. Let it get a bit darker and then the modifieds come out, Skylines, Soarers, Hachi-Roku, Mercedes and Civics making an ominous growling from under their bonnets, mingled with the roar of customised motorbikes straight out of an Akira anime, and the ragged edge of Japanese sub culture pokes a finger at that most polite of societies.

Ame ga Kuru Niji ga Tatsu: from the OST of the anime Mushishi, the soundtracks haunted me.
Rain Down Our Sins: OST of the movie Picnic – Shunji Iwai. One of his very first movies, dark and haunting, yet the OST are full of meledious and smooth piano.
Endless rain: if you haven’t known X-japan and their awesome music, you may start with their piano – easy-listening and suit most ears.
of world’s end girl friend and wonderland falling yesterday: one artist, 2 different styles of sound mixing & arrangement, both tracks are great pieces. Well I praise cause I’m a fangirl (;_;), but if you want to get a ‘look’ at ambient and experimental electronic sounds, I’m sure those tracks will give you nice time.
Emancipator and Yasue Ois are also very nice, and Angelmark’s track is a little darker than the others…

Sorry, I suck at writing music reviews… ;___;. Plus I’m a little sick now (hope it’s not swine flu *O*), my mind’s totally blank .
Finally, pls enjoy the music and the sounds. ^u^

With my work in a transitional phase now, I’m happy to report I’ll have a bit more time to squeeze out some new content. Coming up shortly:

Thursday will see a post on my (hopefully successful) driving exam, and a guide on how to beat the system and pass on your first try.

Sunday will be my visit to Tokyo Motor Show. Look for a two part wrap up, with a feature on concept cars and green technology, and a review of the new models.

Part three of my kei-car series will follow with photos from the show floor, and a summary of new and significant models, as well as some innovative features, and hopefully, some hands on experience with the MiEV and Stella EV.

Also, a poll: As always, I’m looking for your feedback. I’d love heaps of happy repeat visitors, and to be blunt, I have more inclination to write than I actually have time. Just ask my wife! So help me out, and comments are deeply appreciated.

Hi everyone. This is Jamie from sales department. How are you guys doing lately?
Are you ready for Halloween??
My best experience at Halloween is my first year in the US, which is back in 1997….. wow such a long time ago.

Anyway, today’s topic is this : Security guard in fancy machine.
Please check out this pictures.
Honestly, I could not recognize him until he got closer to me like this distance.
He is a security man at Nagoya International Airport.
Isn’t it fancy? Japanese security peopel are getting lazy or what?

Toyota i-Real Kei

Toyota i-Real Kei

It’s already a robot, isn’t it?

Since I got so curious about this ride, I had a small chat with him.
He said he can lean back a little bit when it’s not moving. I was like “is this a sofa”??
He said it can go as fast as people’s normal running speed, so that they can catch bad people.

mmm…if I were him, I could easily fall in sleep in there.
I give him a gold medal for “the cutest secury man of the year”. What do you think?

Список запросов из 47 позиций получен. Теперь необходимо проанализировать степень конкурентности запросов.

Посмотрим на полученную в предыдущем посте таблицу. Слово с наибольшей частотой — одиночное, его не стоило включать в таблицу.

Почему? Потому, что:

• как правило, при поиске одиночных слов мы получаем десятки тысяч страниц, что означает очень высокую конкуренцию;
• одиночные слова не всегда приносят целевой трафик, т.к., одним словом запроса невозможно учесть все нюансы. Например,  «недвижимость» — это и покупка, и продажа; это и в России, и в любой другой стране мира;
• посетители сайтов понимают, что чем точнее запрос, тем более релевантными (наиболее близкими по смыслу, точными) будут результаты.

Поэтому слово «домоводство» из списка можно сразу удалить.

По аналогичным причинам можно удалить запрос «справочная литература».

Замечание. Такое изменение списка запросов незначительно (?) повлияет на разделение его по частоте: СЧ-запросы будут находиться в диапазоне 19 — 339.

Несмотря на тот факт, что методы оценки конкурентности запросов у каждого оптимизатора свои, и они не особо охотно палятся, найти кое-что все же можно.

Метод, основанный на определении  Индекса Эффективности Ключевого слова

Эта методика разработана Sumantra Roy.

Индекс Эффективности ключевого слова (Keyword Effectiveness Index=KEI) рассчитывается на основании  данных о количестве запросов  и количестве сайтов, оптимизированных под ключевые слова.

В Сети приводится 2 варианта формул:

1) KEI = LP*LP/ NS,

где LP — количество запросов в месяц, NS — количество конкурирующих сайтов, или сайтов, “заточенных” под этот запрос, — поэтому в поисковой системе ищется точное совпадение, т.е. фраза в кавычках.

2)  KEI = (LP/30)^2*1000/ NS,     

где LP/30 — количество запросов в день, NS — конкурентоспособность (количество сайтов)

На основании  Excel-таблицы запросов, построенной в предыдущем посте, строим таблицу из следующих столбиков:

Запросы; Количество запросов в месяц,LP; Количество конкурирующих сайтов,NS; KEI, посчитанный по показам в месяц; KEI, посчитанный по популярности фразы в сутки.

При заполнении таблицы оказалось, что по некоторым запросам конкурирующих сайтов нет, т.е. NS=0. Поскольку деление на 0 — операция некорректная, то в таблице для этих запросов стоит заведомо большое число KEI=9999.

После расчета таблица была отсортирована по убыванию KEI и приняла такой вид:

Из таблицы видно, что от варианта расчета — по данным за месяц или за сутки — результаты практически не зависят.

В соответствии с этой методикой, запросы с KEI меньше 10 (в таблице выделены цветом) — отбрасываются, от 10 до 100 — хорошие запросы, до 400 — это эффективные запросы, а выше 400 — как кто-то выразился — подарок судьбы.

Замечание. Данные по запросам в приведенной таблице – сводные по ПС Рамблер, Гугл и Яндекс. Данные же по конкурирующим сайтам, первоначально, были получены для всех запросов таблицы в Яндексе, что показалось не совсем корректным — посчитать количество конкурентов в Яндексе, когда вопрос задавался Рамблеру.

Поэтому в таблицу были внесены уточнения — добавлена строка, помеченная (Р), в которой учтены данные Рамблера, в следствие чего этот запрос перешел из категории неэффективных в категорию хороших.

Хорошие запросы выделены в таблице жирным шрифтом.

Теперь посмотрим на “подарки судьбы”. По-видимому, настоящими подарками можно считать запросы с LP>1, т.к. их показатели говорят о том, что запросы есть, а «заточенных» под них  сайтов нет.

По поводу запросов, количество которых = 1. Очень хорошо, что статистику Рамблер дает по месяцам. Данные, использованные в таблицах, были взяты за сентябрь 2009 г. Просмотрев эти запросы за предшествующие месяцы, можно убедиться, что они отсутствовали вообще. Поэтому, на мой взгляд, принимать их во внимание смысла нет.

Вывод: по методике определения KEI список эффективных (и очень эффективных) запросов для одноименной рубрики блога «Домоводство» примет такой вид:

Продолжение следует …

Japan has its fair share of automotive oddities. Mitsuoka comes to mind. But if you’re looking for mass market strange, look no further than the letter K.

軽自動車 (kei-jidōsha) or “kei cars” as they’re known, are an entirely different class of vehicle from, well, anything else on the road. They even wear a different shade of license plate.

The name signifies them as “light vehicles,” but the epithet “light” doesn’t quite appropriately characterize these cars. Diminutive would be more like it. Miniature. The dimensions are dictated by law – 3,400 mm in length, 1480 mm in width, and most dramatically, 660 cc of displacement. Even output is restricted to 64 ps (roughly the same horsepower), and that from forced induction variants. In the olden days, these cars were barely able to exceed 100 km/h. Clearly not destined for the interstate or the autobahn; even on city streets, earlier models were not going to get you anywhere in a hurry.

What the Japanese government has done, then, is to legislate a market where none would otherwise exist. So tiny cars, cheap to operate. Which means you’re now thinking Smart ForTwo. Or maybe Tata Nano. Niche market, razor thin margins – you’d have to be looking to make a loss to build these things, right? Well, no, not exactly. Certainly not in Japan. Because the government has also been sure to incentivize kei so significantly that demand has been created from the ether.

What incentives, you say? 50% lower registration and taxes would be a start. Reduced expressway tolls and looser parking demands round it out. To those of you who wonder what parking demands mean, an owner of a standard vehicle must furnish proof of an owned or leased parking space before any car can be registered. In many areas, kei are exempt from that requirement.

For the companies that trade in kei, therein lies the briliance. Because they are so heavily incentivized, the lifetime costs of ownership – everything after the moment you pay for it – could be two-thirds to half that of a traditional car. For Japanese, who tend to pay cash for cars, that’s money in the bank, and a down payment on the next, without even having to consider the purchase price.

Manufacturers have responded by using option packages to boost the equipment level while keeping the price right around what one would pay for a more spartanly equipped compact. And when price and content are both in your favor, what’s a fifth seat and passing power between friends?

So that’s why kei. So what’s kei, who’s who and what are they like to drive? Stay tuned, there’s much more to follow.

Bu manga-ka’nın ne kadar da derin arka plan çizimleri var böyle? Her manga sayısında beni bir kez daha büyülüyor doğrusu… Tamam, biraz sapık ruhlu bir manga-ka; ama çizim konusunda parmağına su dökebilecek çok az kişi vardır eminim.

Uzun, gerçekten uzuuun bir aradan sonra Gantz yeniden geriye döndü. Final Perdesi açıldı ve toplam 30 sayfalık bir sayı ile birlikte uzaylıların nasıl dünyayı istila ettiklerine, nasıl kıyameti getirdiklerine tanık olduk. Aşağıda sizlerlede paylaştığım toplam 3 sayfalık renkli; ama tüm renklerine rağmen içimizi karartmaya yetecek bir bölüm, akabinde final perdesi açılışı yaşadık.

Son perdemize işte şu üç sayfanın eşliğinde girdik;

Daha ilk sayfada dünyanın en büyük askeri gücünün düştüğüne dair bir yazı vardı ve akabinde kahramanlarımızın koşuşturmacasına tanık olduk. Kei, sınıftan fırladı ve Tae’nin sınıfına, onu almak için daldı. Aynı anda gökyüzünden metal uzaylıların yağmuru başladı. Reika’da diğer Kei ile birlikte televizyonda olanları izliyordu.

Binaların boyutunda olan uzaylılar, dünyanın çeşitli yerlerinde patlayan nükleer bombalar… Hiçbir şey yapamayan, çaresiz kalan dünya uluslarının orduları…

Bizim minik, İtalya’da ki savaştan bile zor kurtulan Gantz ekibi böylesi bir savaşta nasıl hayatta kalacak? Ne yapabilecekler ki? Bilemiyorum doğrusu…

İnanın bana bu sayının her sayfası yukarıda ki gördüğünüz çizimlerin kalitesine sahipti. Zaten az çok Gantz okuyan, ya da bir zamanlar okumuş birisiyseniz arka plan çizimlerinin ne denli şahane olduğunu bilirsiniz.

Bundan sonra haftalık olarak Final Phase’i takip edebilmek dileğiyle…
