============================== .hack//G.U. Vol.2//Reminisce Greeting Card FAQ ============================== -Foreword- ============================== This e-mail guide was transcribed and compiled by Fatuous One (FatuousOne612). It WILL contain spoilers, be it through comments or through the e-mails themselves, so be warned. If you have any questions, spot any errors in the guide, or something pertaining to it, feel free to e-mail me at '[email protected]'. ============================== -Contents- [Find Keys] ============================== = About - XABO = Atoli - XATO = Kuhn - XKUH = Pi - XPAI = Silabus - XSIL = Gaspard - XGAS = Piros the 3rd - X3RD = Alkaid - XALK = Sakubo (Saku) - XSAK = Sakubo (Bo) - XBO = Endrance - XEND = Antares - XANT = Matsu - XMAT = Credits - XCRE = Copyright [XCOP] = ============================== -About- [XABO] ============================== This FAQ is basically a transcription of all the Greeting Card e-mails in .hack//G.U. Vol. 2. It lists all the your replies, the responses, and when you get (or don't get) an increase in affection from your correspondent. There are no 'dead end' replies. That is to say, no matter your reply in the e-mail chains, you'll always have to choose from the next two, set responses. Thus, with this format, I'll be giving both of Haseo's replies, and then their correspondents' reply before moving onto the next two choices. Basic example of this is like so: *** [Saku: Re: I want to know you better] +Affection Increase+ I don't have anything to tell you! I might change my mind if you pay me though! {R1} [Haseo: Age] I'm 17 and a sophomore in high school. What about you? [Saku: Re: Age] +Affection Increase+ >I'm 17 and a sophomore in high school. >What about you? The same as Bo! {R2} [Haseo: School] Do you like school? [Saku: Re: School] +Affection Increase+ >Do you like school? I just make Bo do all my schoolwork for me! *** As you can see, I also use addition ('+') signs along with text to point out when you get an affection increase (If you don't, there will be no such text added in the message). Or, in rare occasions, when you get a decrease in affection, I'll use subtraction ('-') signs along with indicating text. Angle brackets ('>') in the message are Haseo's previous text, as I did not feel the need to erase it even though I typed in Haseo's previous message anyway. Square brackets ('[]') are the subject matter. R1 means 'Reply one', and R2 means 'Reply two'. I hope this does not cause any confusion. --- Cards --- In volume two of .hack//G.U., there are eight different possible greeting cards to give out. They are: 'Poetry Gift' 'Hello!' 'Food' 'How are you?' 'Motto' 'Flower Gift' 'Hobbies' 'Challenge' It should be noted that you can only receive the 'Flower Gift' card in volume one, and thus can only use it if you had transferred your finished data from the first game, and also hadn't already used it. The Poetry Gift card is received from the first Ryu book once you reach the maximum level (6) for volume two. Most of the greeting cards purposes are self-explanatory, with the 'Food' card asking what food the person likes, 'Hobbies' card what hobbies they have, 'Challenge' card that you want to defeat them (?!)... The Poetry Gift, and Flower Gift's reactions vary, but it breaks down into asking about the person in general, and simply giving them flowers. ============================== -Atoli- [XATO] ============================== --- [Begin 'Poetry Gift'] --- [Atoli: Re: I want to know you better] +Affection Increase+ Me?! Really?! Um, gosh... I don't know where to begin... Atoli {R1} [Haseo: Age] I'm 17 and a sophomore in high school. What about you? [Atoli: Re: Age] +Affection Increase+ >I'm 17 and a sophomore in high school. >What about you? I'm 16 and just started high school this year. So you're a year older than me :) Atoli {R2} [Haseo: Just in case] Let me ask this just in case... You're a girl in real life too, right? [Atoli: Re: Just in case] +Affection Increase+ >Let me ask this just in case... >You're a girl in real life too, right? Of course! You're a boy in real life too, aren't you? Atoli {R1} [Haseo: Where you live] I live in Tokyo. What about you? [Atoli: Re: Where you live] +Affection Increase+ >I live in Tokyo. What about you? I live in Chiba. Not near the ocean, but closer to Tokyo. LOL I see... I guess that means we could meet if we wanted to. Atoli {R2} [Haseo: Usually] What do you usually spend your time doing? [Atoli: Re: Usually] +Affection Increase+ >What do you usually spend your time doing? I guess I'm online pretty much all of the time, even when I'm not playing "The World"... I usually go around visiting my favorite sites. The time just goes flying by. Atoli {R1} [Haseo: Someday] We should meet sometime after things have settled down. [Atoli: Re: Someday] +Affection Increase+ >We should meet sometime after things have settled down. ...Um, I don't really know what to say. You'd probably just be bored if you met me for real... Let me think about it... Atoli {R2} [Haseo: By the way] What are your measurements? [Atoli: Re: By the way] >What are your measurements? Um...I'm not actually a game character, so I don't have any official settings like that. Atoli --- [End 'Poetry Gift'] --- [Begin 'Hello!'] --- [Atoli: Re: Greeting Card] +Affection Increase+ Thank you for the greeting card! I feel like today is going to be a great day! You've made me so happy! You're always acting like a real rough and tough character, but you're actually very polite and well-mannered, aren't you? I hope I get to see the kind Haseo when I'm around. Let's form a part and go adventuring some time soon! :) Sincerely, Atoli --- [End 'Hello!'] --- [Begin 'Food'] --- [Atoli: Re: Food] +Affection Increase+ I'm so happy you're interested in me, Haseo! :) My favorite food is...I guess it would be beef bowls. LOL Sincerely, Atoli {R1} [Haseo: Me Too] I like beef bowls too. I often stop by somewhere to eat them on my way back from school. [Atoli: Re: Me Too] +Affection Increase+ >I like beef bowls too. I often stop by somewhere to eat >them on my way back from school. Oh, I go to beef bowl places like Yoshidaya occasionally, but most of the time I just make them at home on my own. I like them to be sweeter than those made in restaurants, and this way I can also add in tofu and shirataki (potato starch noddles) as I like. Sincerely, Atoli {R2} [Haseo: What?!] Beef bowls? LOL Pick something more girly and cute next time. LOL [Atoli: Re: What?!] >Beef bowls? LOL >Pick something more girly and cute next time. LOL But they're so yummy! Besides, I make them myself, you know. :) Sincerely, Atoli {R1} [Haseo: You cook?] So you cook for yourself? You've got it together more than I thought. [Atoli: Re: You cook?] +Affection Increase+ >So you cook for yourself? You've got it together more than I thought. My parents both work, and they always come home late, so I've gotten used to making dinner all by myself. :( It's kind of depressing going to all the trouble to cook just for one person. I just wish there was someone I could make extra for. By the way, do you prefer Western-style breakfasts or Japanese-style breakfasts? Sincerely, Atoli {R2} [Haseo: What else do you like?] Okay, enough about beef bowls. What else do you like? [Atoli: Re: What else do you like?] +Affection Increase+ >Okay, enough about beef bowls. What else do you like? I have lots of things I don't like. I'm terribly picky. I can't stand most vegetables (the onions in beef bowls are an exception) I get goose bumps just thinking about celery, or peppers, or peas. By the way Haseo, do you prefer Western-style breakfasts or Japanese-style breakfasts? Sincerely, Atoli {R1} [Haseo: Japanese] I always have miso soup and white rice for breakfast. [Atoli: Re: Japanese] +Affection Increase+ >I always have miso soup and white rice for breakfast. Wow. It's amazing you always cook rice in the morning. Oh wait, sorry, that would be your mother wouldn't it? LOL My favorite ingredient to add to miso soup are shijimi clams! Whenever I make it myself, I always put in shijimi clams and tofu. I always make sure to use seaweed broth too. I bet there aren't many high school girls who can cook like I can. LOL If only "The World" had a cooking system, I'd be happy to level up my skill in that! LOL Sincerely, Atoli {R2} [Haseo: Western] I always have toast for breakfast. [Atoli: Re: Western] +Affection Increase+ >I always have toast for breakfast. Me too. Or rather, I often just go without breakfast. I never seem to get very hungry in the morning. Does that ever happen to you? Sincerely, Atoli --- [End 'Food'] --- [Begin 'How are you?'] --- [Atoli: Re: How are you?] +Affection Increase+ I'm doing fine, thanks! :) Take care of yourself too, Haseo. Sincerely, Atoli --- [End 'How are you?'] --- [Begin 'Motto'] --- "To love. To love is not to look only at one another. It is to look together, in the same direction." I believe Antoine de Saint-Exupery said that. It's a little different from a personal motto, but they're words that remain in my heart even now. Sincerely, Atoli {R1} [Haseo: Ideals] You sound like a girl with high ideals. In more ways than one. [Atoli: Re: Ideals] +Affection Increase+ >You sound like a girl with high ideals. >In more ways than one. I don't think that's the case. I just think everyone else gives up on their ideals too soon. Do you have someone to look with you in the same direction? Sincerely, Atoli {R2} [Haseo: Together] Someone to look together in the same direction with? I guess that's one way to think of it. [Atoli: Re: Together] +Affection Increase+ >Someone to look together in the same direction with? >I guess that's one way to think of it. The only people I have like that for me are in "The World." You have someone like that, right? Sincerely, Atoli {R1} [Haseo: ...Yeah] I think that I've been trying to get that back. [Atoli: Re: ...Yeah] +Affection Increase+ >I think that I've been trying to get that back. I see. Still, I'm just happy you opened up to me a bit. :) If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know! I want to do anything I can to help you. Sincerely, Atoli {R2} [Haseo: ...] ...It's not something I tell others. [Atoli: Re: ...] >...It's not something I tell others. You're right. I'm sorry. But if there's anything I can do to help you, just let me know! Sincerely, Atoli {R1} [Haseo: Thanks] Thanks for the offer. [Atoli: Re: Thanks] +Affection Increase+ >Thanks for the offer. There's no need to thank me. I want to get to know you better. I want to look in the same direction as you. Sincerely, Atoli {R2} [Haseo: Not Your Concern] Don't you get that even good intentions turn bad if you're too damn nosy about other people's business? [Atoli: Re: Not Your Concern] >Don't you get that even good intentions turn bad if you're too >damn nosy about other people's business? I guess we keep getting angry at each other because we're looking at each other. I wish I could look in the same direction as you. Sincerely, Atoli --- [End 'Motto'] --- [Begin 'Flower Gift'] --- [Atoli: Re: Flower Gift] +Affection Increase+ Thank you for the flower gift! It was so unexpected, I was really surprised! I think this cute card is going to become a favorite of mine. Sincerely, Atoli {R1} [Haseo: Happy?] I'm glad you're happy, but just getting flowers makes you happy? [Atoli: Re: Happy?] +Affection Increase+ >I'm glad you're happy, but just getting flowers makes you happy? Sure, the flowers are really nice, but what really makes me happy are the feelings behind them. :D I think this is the first time a guy gave me flowers. Sincerely, Atoli {R2} [Haseo: It's nothing] I just sent it out because I had more cards than I needed. [Atoli: Re: It's nothing] +Affection Increase+ >I just sent it out because I had more cards than I needed. That's fine, I'm still just happy that you thought to send it to me. I think this is the first time a guy gave me flowers. Sincerely, Atoli {R1} [Haseo: First Guy] Geez, I'm amazed you can say things like that with a straight face. This is kind of awkward. I guess, sorry your first flowers came from a jerk like me. [Atoli: Re: First Guy] +Affection Increase+ >Geez, I'm amazed you can say things like that with a straight face. >This is kind of awkward. I guess, sorry your first flowers came from >a jerk like me. I'm perfectly happy with that. I'm going to treasure them forever. The reason I joined Moon Tree is because I wanted everyone in "The World" to experience the kind of happiness that I'm feeling right now. Sincerely, Atoli {R2} [Haseo: Memory] So I'm the first? That should make for a nice memory. LOL [Atoli: Re: Memory] +Affection Increase+ >So I'm the first? That should make for a nice memory. LOL Yes! Thank you so very much. I'm so happy. The reason I joined Moon Tree is because I wanted everyone in "The World" to experience the kind of happiness that I'm feeling right now. Sincerely, Atoli {R1} [Haseo: Card] If I get a hold of more cards, I'll send you another one. [Atoli: Re: Card] +Affection Increase+ >If I get a hold of more cards, I'll send you another one. Yeay! :D Now I have something else to look forward to. I just hope more interactions like this spread throughout "The World." Sincerely, Atoli {R2} [Haseo: Your feelings] I hope those feelings you have get across to as many people as they can. [Atoli: Re: Your feelings] +Affection Increase+ >I hope those feelings you have get across to as many people as they can. Yes! If nothing else, I have a feeling that they've at least gotten across to you. Sincerely, Atoli --- [End 'Flower Gift'] --- [Begin 'Hobbies'] --- [Atoli: Re: What are your hobbies?] +Affection Increase+ I don't know if you could call it a hobby, but I do have three Java sparrows as pets. Atoli {R1} [Haseo: Must be tough] Doesn't it get tough taking care of three birds? [Atoli: Re: Must be tough] +Affection Increase+ >Doesn't it get tough taking care of three birds? Not at all. I love taking care of them every day. Hand-perching sparrows are really friendly, so you have to be sure to play with them every day. They've all got such distinct personalities, so it's a lot of fun. Atoli {R2} [Haseo: Caged birds] I feel bad for the birds trapped in cages. [Atoli: Re: Caged birds] >I feel bad for the birds trapped in cages. Um... I know what you mean, but if everyone did that then nobody would be able to keep pets at all... Hand-perching sparrows are really friendly, so you have to be sure to play with them every day. They've all got such distinct personalities, so it's a lot of fun. Atoli {R1} [Haseo: Your sparrows] What are their names and personalities? [Atoli: Re: Your sparrows] +Affection Increase+ >What are their names and personalities? My pink sparrow, Bun, loves to play rough and tug at my hair. My white sparrow, Haku, is a quiet and refined young woman. She loves taking baths. Mon has cinnamon-colored wings and is known as a cinnamon type of sparrow. He's the only who isn't a hand-perching sparrow. He'll always be singing along merrily by himself, and sometimes he gets the other two to sing along. Atoli {R2} [Haseo: Free] Do you let them run around freely? [Atoli: Re: Free] +Affection Increase+ >Do you let them run around freely? I'm afraid not... I really should let them run around my room and let them get some exercise, but it's a huge job to clean up after them when they're done. Incidentally! Theirs names are Bun, Haku and Mon. They're all named after their particular species. Atoli {R1} [Haseo: Atoli] Come to think of it, your character's name was also taken from a bird, right? what kind of bird? [Atoli: Re: Atoli] +Affection Increase+ >Come to think of it, your character's name was also >taken from a bird, right? what kind of bird? You remembered! Thank you so much Haseo!! An Atoli is a small bird that resembles a swallow. It's a migrating bird, that works hard every year to make the long trip from Russia to Japan. Atoli {R2} [Haseo: Naming sense] Atoli... Your taste in coming up with names is just... [Atoli: Re: Naming sense] >Atoli... >Your taste in coming up with names is just... I know, I know, I have no sense for naming. I already knew that without you telling me, Haseo... You big meanie! Atoli --- [End 'Hobbies'] --- [Begin 'Challenge'] --- [Atoli: Re: I will defeat you!] Um...did I do something else to upset you, Haseo? Atoli --- [End 'Challenge'] --- ============================== -Kuhn- [XKUH] ============================== --- [Begin 'Poetry Gift'] --- [Kuhn: Re: I want to know you better] +Affection Increase+ You know, you really should send this kind of card to a girl ;) {R1} [Haseo: Age] Seriously, how old are you? I'm 17 and a sophomore in high school. [Kuhn: Re: Age] +Affection Increase+ >Seriously, how old are you? >I'm 17 and a sophomore in high school. I'm 24 and living paycheck to paycheck (and proud of it). Currently, I'm working part-time at CC Corp. I've found that saying I work at CC Corp is a great way to meet girls, even part-time :) {R2} [Haseo: Usually] What do you usually spend your time doing? [Kuhn: Re: Usually] +Affection Increase+ Work part time for G.U. and mixed parties D I've found that saying I work at CC Corp is a great way to meet girls, even part-time :) {R1} [Haseo: Where you live] I live in Tokyo. What about you? [Kuhn: Re: Where you live] +Affection Increase+ >I live in Tokyo. What about you? I'm in Kanazawa, actually. Pi and Yata both live in Tokyo though. {R2} [Haseo: Salary] How's the pay for G.U.? I'm not getting anything from them. [Kuhn: Re: Salary] +Affection Increase+ >How's the pay for G.U.? >I'm not getting anything from them. Pretty good for where I live, but probably not much for someone in Tokyo. Basically, it's a little extra help with my expenses? {R1} [Haseo: Someday] I hope we can meet up someday. [Kuhn: Re: Someday] +Affection Increase+ >I hope we can meet up someday. We should go to a mixed party sometime! {R2} [Haseo: By the way] Did you find a girlfriend yet? [Kuhn: Re: By the way] >Did you find a girlfriend yet? ...*cries* --- [End 'Poetry Gift'] --- [Begin 'Hello!'] --- [Kuhn: Re: Greeting Card] +Affection Increase+ Thanks for the greeting card! There's nothing like a single e-mail or a single card to show what someone really thinks of you. In that sense, they do more to touch one's heart, more valuable than any expensive present. Not! Thanks again! --- [End 'Hello!] --- [Begin 'Food'] --- [Kuhn: Re: Food] +Affection Increase+ Uh, thanks for the card, but why do you want to know what I eat? LOL Never ask a single guy. You know what I'm talking about, right? {R1} [Haseo: Just Reference] Just curious what it's like living by yourself. What do you usually eat? [Kuhn: Re: Just Reference] +Affection Increase+ >Just curious what it's like living by yourself. >What do you usually eat? Well when I was working at the supermarket or fast food joint they gave me food that expired. Pi said you're still in high school. I'll give you some tips on getting good jobs once you go out on your own. I've done lots of jobs. :) {R2} [Haseo: Blackmail] See if I can blackmail you later. lol [Kuhn: Re: Blackmail] +Affection Increase+ >See if I can blackmail you later. lol Blackmail, huh? The hardest part about living by yourself is when you get sick. It's not pretty when you're down with a cold. I can even fall in love with the nice little old ladies at the drug store. {R1} [Haseo: Work] So, what do you do right now? [Kuhn: Re: Work] +Affection Increase+ >So, what do you do right now? Right now I work part-time at an arcade. And I also work part-time for G.U....man, I suck. (Oh, don't say that to Pi.) And I get to eat some take-out again tonight. {R2} [Haseo: Single] You're single? Okay. [Kuhn: Re: Single] +Affection Increase+ >You're single? Okay. What do you mean "Okay"? LOL Do I look married to you? I'm not that old (well these days people think you're old even if you're in your twenties.) And a take-out dinner is waiting for me tonight. {R1} [Haseo: Girlfriend] Don't you have a girlfriend? [Kuhn: Re: Girlfriend] +Affection Increase+ >Don't you have a girlfriend? Not right now I don't. There were lots of girls that I wouldn't have minded, but things always get ugly and blow up on me, it was partially my fault for not being clearer. I could never figure out where the line between a friend and a lover was, you know? I get lots of calls from friends who are girls. Usually, they want me to come to even the numbers or talk about their problems with work or relationships. Sometimes they just want me to help them with moving, or do stuff for them. ...Geez, I feel so used. ROTFL The only time I had someone I could call a real girlfriend was during high school. Never forget your real life. {R2} [Haseo: Pi] What about Pi? You look like you two would get along well. lol [Kuhn: Re: Pi] +Affection Increase+ >What about Pi? You look like you two would get along well. lol Oh man, I just had the scariest vision of...uh never mind. ROTFL Pi's a CC Corp. employee, remember? She doesn't have time for some lowly worker monkey like me. --- [End 'Food'] --- [Begin 'How are you?'] --- [Kuhn: Re: How are you?] +Affection Increase+ Actually, I just asked out a girl I had my eye on. And she shot me down without any hesitation. :( {R1} [Haseo: Why?] Sounds like it hurt. lol Why did she reject you? [Kuhn: Re: Why?] +Affection Increase+ >Sounds like it hurt. lol Why did she reject you? Basically she said, "You don't want me. You just want a girlfriend." She knows I have a lot of female friends. Maybe that's why I'm so easily misunderstood. Not only do I keep getting turned down in real life, but I've been on a streak of getting dumped online, too. {R2} [Haseo: Online?] So you're picking up girls in "The World"? Man, you're pathetic. [Kuhn: Re: Online?] >So you're picking up girls in "The World"? >Man, you're pathetic. I'm not picking them up, I just want to be friends with them. Though it takes a hell of a lot of effort to talk to girls online. I mean, you only talk through e-mails and chat. So things that can be easily avoided in the real world get tangled up when it's online. God, I hate it. Not only do I keep getting turned down in real life, but I've been on a streak of getting dumped online, too. {R1} [Haseo: Your Fault] So you're two-timing your online girls with your offline girls? Well, no wonder. LOL [Kuhn: Re: Your Fault] +Affection Increase+ >So you're two-timing your online girls with your offline girls? >Well, no wonder. LOL I can make many love flowers bloom, but I can't seem to grab hold of a single love fruit...okay, don't hit me. I think it went downhill when my girlfriend dumped me back in high school. {R2} [Haseo: Respect] Whatever else I may think about you, Kuhn. I have to respect your sheer vitality when it comes to that stuff. [Kuhn: Re: Respect] +Affection Increase+ >Whatever else I may think about you, Kuhn. I have to >respect your sheer vitality when it comes to that stuff. Well life is better when you're having fun. You've always got to try hard to accomplish that. I think it all went downhill when my girlfriend dumped me back in high school. {R1} [Haseo: Your high school girlfriend] What was your high school girlfriend like? [Kuhn: Re: Your high school girlfriend] +Affection Increase+ >What was your high school girlfriend like? She was a great girl with well-kept eyebrows. She was kind of uptight. Now that I look back, it's pretty obvious why she dumped me, since I was still just a kid back then. Now, I know I can be a little nicer to her, but of course it's too late now. {R2} [Haseo: No Principle] It's because you've got no principle. You may think that you're being clear about who you're interested in and who you're just friendly, but the way see it, you're just another jock. LOL [Kuhn: Re: No Principle] +Affection Increase+ >It's because you've got no principle. You may think that >you're being clear about who you're interested in and >who you're just friendly, but the way see >it, you're just another jock. LOL It's not what I think. It's how the other person feels. Man, am I gonna be like this the rest of my life? LOL --- [End 'How are you?'] --- [Begin 'Motto'] --- [Kuhn: Re: Motto] +Affection Increase+ I guess it'd be "Haste makes waste." LOL Don't ask me why. ROTFL --- [End 'Motto'] --- [Begin 'Flower Gift'] --- [Kuhn: Re: Flower Gift] +Affection Increase+ Thanks for the greeting card, but come on, flowers?! Why me? LOL Weren't cards with the word "gift" in their name supposed to be really rare? {R1} [Haseo: Well...] I think...maybe...I'm in love with you... [Kuhn: Re: Well...] +Affection Increase+ >I think...maybe...I'm in love with you... Hahahaha. LOL So even you joke around like this sometimes. I'm kind of surprised. I guess you can learn things about someone through e-mail you just can't learn anywhere else. You know, If I were given flowers by a guy in real life, I'd be running away like crazy, but online, I guess it doesn't bother me. Anyway, thanks. {R2} [Haseo: Don't read too much] Don't bother reading too much into it. LOL [Kuhn: Re: Don't read too much] +Affection Increase+ >Don't bother reading too much into it. LOL Well geez, how am I supposed to NOT read too much into it now? :) You know, If I were given flowers by a guy in real life, I'd be running away like crazy, but online, I guess it doesn't bother me. Anyway, thanks. {R1} [Haseo: Thanks] No, thank you. I really am grateful to you. [Kuhn: Re: Thanks] +Affection Increase+ >No, thank you. I really am grateful to you. You know, the word "thank you" is a nice word. I want to be able to say that in the real world. I think the only time I've gotten flowers in real life was when I was in the hospital. {R2} [Haseo: Unlucky] I'm just lending a loving hand to poor, unlucky Kuhn. It is "help out Kuhn" week, after all. LOL [Kuhn: Re: Unlucky] +Affection Increase+ >I'm just lending a loving hand to poor, unlucky Kuhn. >It is "help out Kuhn" week, after all. LOL Thank you...wait a second. What kind of week is that? LOL I think the only time I've gotten flowers in real life was when I was in the hospital. {R1} [Haseo: Flowers] Have you ever sent flowers to anyone? [Kuhn: Re: Flowers] +Affection Increase+ >Have you ever sent flowers to anyone? I'm not really a type of guy to send flowers. I'm more into giving my heart to a girl and make flowers bloom in her heart. LOL {R2} [Haseo: Hospitalized] When were you in the hospital? [Kuhn: Re: Hospitalized] +Affection Increase+ >When were you in the hospital? It was a couple of years ago. Your perspective on life really changes when you face death. --- [End 'Flower Gift'] --- [Begin 'Hobbies'] --- [Kuhn: Re: What are your hobbies?] +Affection Increase+ I'd have to say mixed parties! I usually go to 50 of them a year! {R1} [Haseo: Womanizing] Don't let your womanizing get out of hand. It'll backfire on you someday. [Kuhn: Re: Womanizing] +Affection Increase+ >Don't let your womanizing get out of hand. >It'll backfire on you someday. It already has ;) You're a lot more uptight than I thought you were, Haseo. How is it a bad thing to have fun with girls? After all, there's no better experience in this life than the meeting of a man and a woman!! {R2} [Haseo: I'm jealous] Mixed parties, eh... I'm kind of jealous. [Kuhn: Re: I'm jealous] +Affection Increase+ >Mixed parties, eh... I'm kind of jealous. Of course, I'm always broke thanks to them too. :( If you're interested, shall I invite you along next time? I bet they'd like you a lot. Girls love cool, confident guys like yourself ;) {R1} [Haseo: Tips] Can you tell me some tips for mixed parties? [Kuhn: Re: Tips] +Affection Increase+ >Can you tell me some tips for mixed parties? First, have fun. Second, pretend that when girls have fun, it's fun for you too. We'll talk after you get these down :D {R2} [Haseo: Love] I wonder...just what is love anyway? [Kuhn: Re: Love] +Affection Increase+ >I wonder...just what is love anyway? Love is solving the curse placed on a girl. Every girl is secretly waiting for a prince to come and rescue her :D {R1} [Haseo: Salvador Aihara] You know, Kuhn... You remind me of Salvador Aihara... [Kuhn: Re: Salvador Aihara] >You know, Kuhn... >You remind me of Salvador Aihara... Salvador...? Geez, you really know how to hurt a guy :D I mean, that guy's already a work of art on his own :) {R2} [Haseo: Invite me] I won't tell Pi, so be sure to invite me next time :D [Kuhn: Re: Invite me] +Affection Increase+ >I won't tell Pi, >so be sure to invite me next time :D I'd be glad to have you whenever it works out for you :D Just be warned that you might have to take the Shinkansen or a plane to get here. You'd have to make sure that the trip pays off! --- [End 'Hobbies'] --- [Begin 'Challenge'] --- [Kuhn: Re: I will defeat you!] +Affection Increase+ Man, you always bring these kinds of things up out of nowhere. So, what is it you're going to defeat me at? If you want to compete on who has the most e-mail addresses of girls, I'm pretty confident in my chances of winning ;) {R1} [Haseo: E-mail addresses] Oh yeah, just how many girls' addresses do you have in your cell phone anyway? [Kuhn: Re: E-mail addresses] +Affection Increase+ >Oh yeah, just how many girls' addresses do you >have in your cell phone anyway? 972. My current goal is to make Pi's private address the 1000th. :) (Don't tell Pi that) All right then, how many girls' addresses do you have in your cell phone? {R2} [Haseo: Not interested] A girls' e-mail address competition? Not interested. [Kuhn: Re: Not interested] +Affection Increase+ >A girls' e-mail address competition? Not interested. Come now come now! I bet you're really just dying to know, ain't cha? :) I have 972 myself. All girls, of course. All right, so how many girls' addresses do you have in your cell phone? {R1} [Haseo: Eleven] Um, about 11. [Kuhn: Re: Eleven] +Affection Increase+ >Um, about 11. Wow, that's just about what I expected. Come on now, that's no good! You've gotta enjoy your youth while it lasts! If you like, why don't I give you a few pointers for asking a girl out? {R2} [Haseo: I'm not saying] Why should I have to tell you! [Kuhn: Re: I'm not saying] +Affection Increase+ >Why should I have to tell you! Now now, no need to get all worked up about it. When you get to be my age I'm sure you'll become as close to as many girls as I have. ;) If you like, why don't I give you a few pointers for asking a girl out? {R1} [Haseo: Teach me] Please teach me all you know, Professor Kuhn! [Kuhn: Re: Teach me] +Affection Increase+ >Please teach me all you know, Professor Kuhn! Good answer! All right then, listen for some secret techniques from Sniper Kuhn that'll woo any female from 8 to 80! The most important element for getting a girl is sincerity! Girls are naturally weak to being treated nicely by men! They can't help it! What's more, they have more pride than a group of lions! This means that you first have to act humble and make sure she's happy. Oh, but don't get the wrong idea. Acting humble isn't all about putting the girl up on a pedestal or anything. First you'll want to watch her closely. Learn what she sees, learn what she enjoys, and learn what makes her angry. Once you've got all that and have it firmly planted inside your head, it's time to make a move! By using your knowledge that you gained from =====This e-mail has surpassed its character limit===== {R2} [Haseo: No thanks] Why would I want to take a class by you! Hell, I bet I know what it would be like without even attending. It'd actually be a class to teach me how to get dumped by a girl after I thought we were both going out but then she told me "I'm sorry, I thought we were just friends", right? >XD [Kuhn: Re: No thanks] >It'd actually be a class to teach me how to get dumped >by a girl after I thought we were both going out but >then she told me "I'm sorry, I thought we >were just friends", right? >XD Ouch...!

I'd love to know how your brain works. {R1} [Haseo: Age] I'm 17 and a sophomore in high school. What about you? [Pi: Re: Age] +Affection Increase+ >I'm 17 and a sophomore in high school. >What about you? I know. I've researched you in detail. I'm 24 But didn't you ever learn that it's rude to ask a woman her age? {R2} [Haseo: Usually] What do you usually spend your time doing? [Pi: Re: Usually] +Affection Increase+ >What do you usually spend your time doing? Work, of course. That and take care of my cat. {R1} [Haseo: Where you live] I live in Tokyo. What about you? [Pi: Re: Where you live] >I live in Tokyo. What about you? Don't worry, I know all about you. Your address, your phone number, even what you were doing just yesterday. ...But, I guess that's a little unfair. Fine, I'll answer just one question truthfully. {R2} [Haseo: Well...] I can't help it. I want to know all about you... [Pi: Re: Well...] +Affection Increase+ >I can't help it. I want to know all about you... What on earth are you saying... Fine, I'll answer just one question truthfully. {R1} [Haseo: Name] Okay, what's your real name? [Pi: Re: Name] +Affection Increase+ >Okay, what's your real name? Reiko. Are we finished now? {R2} [Haseo: Measurements] Okay, what are your measurements? [Pi: Re: Measurements] >Okay, what are your measurements? 37-22-33 Of course, that's just an estimate for my PC. LOL --- [End 'Poetry Gift'] --- [Begin 'Hello!'] --- [Pi: Re: Greeting Card] +Affection Increase+ I'm not doing this for fun. I don't need something like this. But I was impressed by your unexpected show of etiquette. You get high marks for that at least. --- [End 'Hello!'] --- [Begin 'Food'] --- [Pi: Re: Food] +Affection Increase+ And just why do you want to know about my dining preferences? I guess I go out for most of my meals. There are lots of great places to eat around where I work. They've got everything, from Italian, French, Chinese, and Japanese. Of course, they're all a bit expensive, but what can you do. It's not like I have anything else to spend my money on. I cycle through my business suits, so I don't need to replace them much. And there's no point in buying cute casual clothes, because I rarely have a chance to wear them. And honestly, I could care less about brand names and the latest fashion. {R1} [Haseo: Your Age] You're not getting any younger. If you don't start eating better it's going to start to show. LOL [Pi: Re: Your Age] >You're not getting any younger. If you don't start >eating better it's going to start to show. LOL You've got a lot of nerve saying that to a woman you don't really know about. It's sad you can only have your age going for you. If you're that concerned about me, could you try not being so idiotic when I'm trying to teach you new things? That would make my job a lot easier. {R2} [Haseo: Workaholic] Yeah, I can totally see you just slaving away. You busy every day? [Pi: Re: Workaholic] +Affection increase+ >Yeah, I can totally see you just slaving away. >You busy every day? So you want to know what I eat? Well, I love seafood, but only if it tastes good. On my days off, I'd make my way to the fish market, or just drive by the ocean. It's just not the same unless they're freshly caught. I'll have you know I grew up in a fishing village when I was little. But if you're that concerned about me, could you try not being so idiotic when I'm trying to teach you new things? That would make my job a lot easier. {R1} [Haseo: Do you cook?] Do you cook for yourself? [Pi: Re: Do you cook?] +Affection Increase+ >Do you cook for yourself? I'm never home long enough to cook. I usually fall asleep as soon as I get home. So my state of the art kitchen is still spankin' new. And all I have in my fridge is beer and ice. I also keep snacks around for when I drink. About the only cooking I do at home is opening cans of cat food for my cat. {R2} [Haseo: Yes Ma'am] Yes ma'am. :D I'll be a good boy. LOL [Pi: Re: Yes Ma'am] >Yes ma'am. :D I'll be a good boy. LOL Blech, that was so not cute. I'll take my cat over you any day. {R1} [Haseo: Your Cat] What's your cat's name? [Pi: Re: Your cat's name] +Affection Increase+ >What's your cat's name? He's an Abyssinian male and each of his eyes is a different color. I bought him at the pet store on a whim and raised him from a kitten. I can't tell you his name since no one knows his name except for me. {R2} [Haseo: Food you don't like] So what don't you like to eat? [Pi: Re: Food you don't like] >So what don't you like to eat? I can't stand the fish they sell at the supermarket. It stinks. --- [End 'Food'] --- [Begin 'How are you?'] --- [Pi: Re: How are you?] +Affection Increase+ You're asking me how I am?

I don't think that's >the same thing as a motto. I guess it's more like don't be so careless as to let slip what you're really thinking. E-mails are logged, and you never know who might have access to those logs online. I don't want to leave my thoughts or feelings in e-mail. It hurts to re-read them. {R2} [Haseo: Hiding] Are you hiding something from me? [Pi: Re: Hiding] +Affection Increase+ >Are you hiding something from me? Of course. It's not the time for you to know what they are. I wonder if the time will come when I will tell them all? It all depends on you. And they're not the kind of things that should be conveyed by e-mail. {R1} [Haseo: So...] Even though you're investigating everything about me? Isn't that unfair? [Pi: Re: So...] +Affection Increase+ >Even though you're investigating everything about me? >Isn't that unfair? You and I are not on equal footing. If you think it's so unfair, I'll tell you just a little bit about myself. What would you like to know? My hobbies? {R2} [Haseo: ....] Well, it's not like you know all there is to know about me. About Haseo. [Pi: Re: ....] >Well, it's not like you know all there is to know about me. About Haseo. That's true. It's not like I know you inside and out. After all, your emotions jump around so much that I frequently find you incomprehensible. If you think that's so unfair, I'll tell you just a bit about myself. What would you like to know? My hobbies? {R1} [Haseo: No] I don't care about your hobbies. [Pi: Re: No] >I don't care about your hobbies. God, you're such a brat. Fine, be that way. But let me tell you one thing. In the real world, most things won't go your way. People that can't compromise with the rest of the world will only suffer and get hurt. Remember that. Not that I'm qualified to tell you anything. {R2} [Haseo: Hobbies] Okay, what are your hobbies? [Pi: Re: Hobbies] +Affection Increase+ >Okay, what are your hobbies? Driving around in my car. I haven't been able to go out much, though. I drive a red convertible. Of course, the only gentleman who rides in my passenger seat is my cat. --- [End 'Motto'] --- [Begin 'Flower Gift'] --- [Pi: Re: Flower Gift] +Affection Increase+ To be honest, your behavior is constantly bewildering me. Why on earth would you send me flowers? Is this some kind of joke? {R1} [Haseo: Beloved Pi] To my beloved Pi. Love, Haseo. LOL [Pi: Re: Beloved Pi] >To my beloved Pi. Love, Haseo. LOL I knew it. You were just baiting me. I should have known better than to be impressed by you. Seriously, a flower gift card. You should have sent something like that to Atoli. {R2} [Haseo: Was it weird?] Was it that weird for me to send you flowers? [Pi: Re: Was it weird?] +Affection Increase+ >Was it that weird for me to send you flowers? Think about how you've treated me. Still, I don't mind accepting them as a token of your reform. They weren't too bad, after all But seriously, a flower gift card. You should have sent something like that to Atoli. {R1} [Haseo: For You] I wanted you to have them. [Pi: Re: For You] +Affection Increase+ >I wanted you to have them. Well, aren't you cute. Are you having fun giving me a hard time? It's so unfair. You're not nearly this nice. But don't go around hurting Atoli carelessly. She's a lot more innocent than I am. {R2} [Haseo: Flowers] You don't like flowers? [Pi: Re: Flowers] +Affection Increase+ >You don't like flowers? I don't think there's a woman alive who doesn't live getting flowers. If it wasn't the flowers that upset her, then it must have been something else. Like the one who sent them. {R1} [Haseo: I'm glad] I'm glad you accepted them. [Pi: Re: I'm glad] +Affection Increase+ >I'm glad you accepted them. I don't know what to say. You really are confusing. I suppose I should say thanks. I don't have very good memories when it comes to flowers since the only time I buy them is when I go to the cemetery. {R2} [Haseo: Failed Attempt] I guess the flower gift failed.

What on earth do you want to compete in? {R1} [Haseo: Knowledge] We'll compete with our knowledge! I'll have you know I get pretty good grades at my school. [Pi: Re: Knowledge] >We'll compete with our knowledge! I'll have you >know I get pretty good grades at my school. I'd be fine with competing on a test on one of your best subjects. But you should know that it physically pains me that there are people out there like you who think one's ability to study determines their net worth as a human. {R2} [Haseo: Jokes] We'll compete with our jokes! I may not look like it, but I'm pretty popular in my class. [Pi: Re: Jokes] >We'll compete with our jokes! I may not look like it, but >I'm pretty popular in my class. I refuse. It would be impossible to judge a contest based on something as ambiguous as humor. {R1} [Haseo: Stamina] Okay, then let's compete in stamina! I'm pretty confident in my sports abilities. [Pi: Re: Stamina] >Okay, then let's compete in stamina! >I'm pretty confident in my sports abilities. Exactly how do you plan to pit our stamina against each other online? Not to mention trying to get a girl to compete with a man in stamina... Pathetic. Fine, go ahead and make me the loser then. {R2} [Haseo: Competitive eating] Okay, then let's compare with eating! It'll be a whole new kind of food fight! [Pi: Re: Competitive eating] >Okay, then let's compare with eating! >It'll be a whole new kind of food fight!

[Silabus: Re: Age] +Affection Increase+ >I'm 17 and a sophomore in high school. >What about you? I'm 19 and in college. I never would have thought that you were younger than me :) I guess it really is hard to tell someone's age online. {R2} [Haseo: Alone] I forget, do you live by yourself? [Silabus: Re: Alone] +Affection Increase+ >I forget, do you live by yourself? Yup, ever since I started college. But, it's a Japanese style room. I'd like to move somewhere closer to school that gets more sunlight. {R1} [Haseo: Where you live] I live in Tokyo. What about you? [Silabus: Re: Where you live] +Affection Increase+ >I live in Tokyo. What about you? I go to college in Sendai and major in liberal arts. {R2} [Haseo: College] Do you like college? [Silabus: Re: College] +Affection Increase+ >Do you like college? Hmm. It's hard to say whether or not college work is fun. I do have some classes I like though. I still can't believe that I'm going to have to write a thesis and look for a job someday though. {R1} [Haseo: Future dreams] What's your dream for the future? [Silabus: Re: Future dreams] +Affection Increase+ >What's your dream for the future? I guess I'd like to be a journalist or a reporter some day. That's not much of a dream though. {R2} [Haseo: Girlfriend] Do you have a girlfriend? [Silabus: Re: Girlfriend] +Affection Increase+ >Do you have a girlfriend? I'm afraid not :) Most of the cute girls already have boyfriend, after all. I'm not like Kuhn, so I'm not really the type to go out to parties and meet girls. --- [End 'Poetry Gift'] --- [Begin 'Hello!'] --- [Silabus: Re: Greeting Card] +Affection Increase+ Thanks for the greeting card!

I've been thinking I need to do something healthy, so I've taken up jogging. I tire really easily, though. :/ {R1} [Haseo: Jogging] Where do you run? [Silabus: Re: Jogging] +Affection Increase+ >Where do you run? It's a course that takes me along a local river to a nearby park. There's a line of cherry blossom trees along the way. I bet they get really pretty during springtime. I'd say I usually run about 2 miles at a pace so slow even my grandmother would pass me. And of course, I never forget to take along my M2D and "The World." LOL {R2} [Haseo: Think you can keep it up?] Jogging, huh? Think you can keep it up? [Silabus: Re: Think you can keep it up?] +Affection Increase+ >Jogging, huh? Think you can keep it up? Yeah, since I run pretty slowly. And of course, I never forget to take along my M2D, and "The World." LOL {R1} [Haseo: "The World"] You really are into "The World." [Silabus: Re: "The World"] +Affection Increase+ >You really are into "The World." It's pretty much a regular part of my life now. It's tough to manage my time. Usually it's my sleep that ends up taking the biggest hit. But I can't stop playing "The World," even if everyone thinks I'm an online junkie! {R2} [Haseo: Online Junkie] You use your portable to play "The World" outside? You must be one of those online junkies. [Silabus: Re: Online Junkie] +Affection Increase+ >You use your portable to play "The World" outside? >You must be one of those online junkies. So you've seen those news reports too. I wonder why I always seem to relax whenever the media starts talking about things like that. I guess it's because it lets me know that I'm not the only one. Still, I can't stop playing "The World," even if everyone thinks I'm an online junkie! {R1} [Haseo: Canard] Wow, you're really passionate about Canard. I don't know whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. [Silabus: Re: Canard] +Affection Increase+ >Wow, you're really passionate about Canard. >I don't know whether that's a good thing or a bad thing. Believe me, I know what you mean, but right now, my work in Canard is what's most meaningful for me. It taught me that responsibility isn't something thrust upon you, but something that you take on for yourself. I want to be serious about my activities in Canard for people who need me and for me as well. {R2} [Haseo: Turn back now] The next time you're in the city, take a good, hard look at the people playing "The World" on their portables. They look really stupid. LOL Think hard about what you're doing.

That's so you. [Silabus: Re: That's just like you] +Affection Increase+ >"Apply oneself." That's so you. You think? :) It just means that it would be great if people could get along and have fun. You know, to encourage your companions and together become better people. Anyway, it's all much easier said than done. {R2} [Haseo: Serious] "Apply oneself." I guess you take life seriously. [Silabus: Re: Serious] >"Apply oneself." I guess you take life seriously. You're not the first one to tell me that, but I never really cared for that image. Anyway, it's easier said than done. {R1} [Haseo: Canard] Well, you're always applying yourself in Canard, right? [Silabus: Re: Canard] +Affection Increase+ >Well, you're always applying yourself in Canard, right? That's because everyone's so nice to me. There really are lots of nice people online. You can do things that would embarrass you in real life like they're nothing. Lately I've been volunteering in real life too. I think Canard's had a real influence on me! {R2} [Haseo: Act] There's no point in just thinking things over unless you act upon it. [Silabus: Re: We have to be able to do it] +Affection Increase+ >There's no point in just thinking things over >unless you act upon it. I guess it's important to think things through, but there're lots of things that can't be conveyed unless you act. Lately I've been volunteering in real life too.

Well, do you remember the tanker that had an accident and spilled a lot of crude oil nearby? I helped clean up the oil that flowed down to the shore. I didn't realize how hard it was until I actually tried it. I want to be someone who can do things when things need to be done. {R2} [Haseo: Impressive] That's really impressive. [Silabus: Re: Impressive] +Affection Increase+ >That's really impressive. Thanks. But I'm not doing these things so I can get compliments. You should help people who are in need. I just want to be, you know, true to my feelings. I'm not quite sure on how to put it, but volunteering is something I do for myself as well as others. --- [End 'Motto'] --- [Begin 'Flower Gift'] --- [Silabus: Re: Flower Gift] Thanks for the greeting card!

I didn't really know. [Silabus: Re: Rare?] +Affection Increase+ >Are they that rare? I didn't really know. I knew it. You didn't know what they are really worth. LOL Unfortunately, you can't get greeting cards back once they've been sent. I should've told you. Sorry. For future reference, cards that end with the word "gift" in their names are rare. You might want to give some thought on who to send the next one to. Anyway, I like flowers. They're really relaxing. {R2} [Haseo: Appreciation] Well, you're always helping me out. I figured you would be happy to receive a card like this. [Silabus: Re: Appreciation] +Affection Increase+ >Well, you're always helping me out. I figured you >would be happy to receive a card like this. Wow, thank you! Oh, it might be best to not tell Gaspard. He's really into collecting cards. :) You probably already know this, but cards that end with the word "gift" in their name are rare. You might want to give some thought on who to send the next one to. Anyway, I like flowers. They're really relaxing. {R1} [Haseo: Flowers?] Do you like flowers? [Silabus: Re: Flowers] +Affection Increase+ >Do you like flowers? We had a small herb garden at my family's house. My mom was always big on gardening. In the previous version of "The World," I heard there was a flower-viewing event you could partake in. I don't know the details, but it seems like there was a time when they made up a special area, complete with gag items like "sake" and "snacks." LOL This version of "The World" has a kind of a tough, no-nonsense design to it, but I think something like what they did would be really fun. {R2} [Haseo: Relaxing] What kind of times do you find most relaxing? [Silabus: Re: Relaxing] +Affection Increase+ >What kind of times do you find most relaxing? I guess when I'm connected to "The World." LOL No matter how dirty or messy my room might be, once you put on the headset you're in a whole different universe. LOL If my mom ever saw me playing, she'd probably get really worried about my future. In the previous version of "The World," I heard there was a flower-viewing event you could partake in.

Does that mean you live on your own? [Silabus: Re: Live Alone] +Affection Increase+ >Your family's house? Does that mean you live on your own? Yup. I go to a university in Miyagi. Sendai's a great place to live! {R2} [Haseo: Flower viewing] Did you go flower viewing this year? [Silabus: Re: Flower viewing] +Affection Increase+ >Did you go flower viewing this year? Yup.

It was amazing, in lots of ways! --- [End 'Flower Gift'] --- [Begin 'Hobbies'] --- [Silabus: Re: What are your hobbies?] +Affection Increase+ "The World", of course! ---Guess that's not much of an answer, is it :) I can't really call my volunteer activities a hobby...

[Silabus: Re: Something you want] +Affection Increase+ >What's the one thing you want the most right now? A higher-spec graphics card! I always want to see "The World"'s graphics at their absolute best! ...Oh, damn it. I can't seem to stop discussing "The World"... {R2} [Haseo: Music] What kind of music do you listen to? [Silabus: Re: Music] +Affection Increase+ >What kind of music do you listen to? I'm not too familiar with what's popular these days. I guess I mostly listen to a soundtrack of "The World". ...Oh, damn it. I can't seem to stop discussing "The World"... {R1} [Haseo: Collecting] Do you collect anything? [Silabus: Re: Collecting] +Affection Increase+ >Do you collect anything? Collecting, eh... I know Gaspard loves to collect cards, but me... Oh, I know! I do collect the chopstick covers I've gotten from all the restaurants I've visited. They're got lots of different designs, so it's pretty interesting. {R2} [Haseo: Travel] Do you travel at all? [Silabus: Re: Travel] +Affection Increase+ >Do you travel at all? I always go to visit my grandmother in the country during summer vacation. Aside from that, not really. I'm pretty happy with only going once a year anyway. It hurts to have my online time with "The World" be reduced whenever I travel :) Oh, but I do think that I'd like to visit Kyoto in the spring someday! They say that Kyoto's cherry blossoms are really beautiful. {R1} [Haseo: Celebrities] Do you have a favorite celebrity? [Silabus: Re: Celebrities] +Affection Increase+ >Do you have a favorite celebrity? I like Salvador Aihara. It looks like he has a movie coming out soon, so I'm looking forward to seeing him act. Do you know about "Online Jack"? I love that show! Their current story on "Doll Syndrome" is fascinating. {R2} [Haseo: TV shows] What kind of TV shows do you like? [Silabus: Re: TV shows] +Affection Increase+ >What kind of TV shows do you like? I don't watch too much TV, so it's hard to say... I do watch a lot of internet broadcast shows though.

I live in Hokkaido! {R2} [Haseo: What you're good at] What are you good at? [Gaspard: Re: What you're good at] +Affection Increase+ >What are you good at? I won't lose to anyone in "Crimson VS"! But I'm not too good at sports... In particular, skiing and skating terrify me. {R1} [Haseo: Future dreams] What's your dream for the future? [Gaspard: Re: Future dreams] +Affection Increase+ >What's your dream for the future? I'd like to be a card game designer, or maybe an illustrator. I'm not too good at drawing though. {R2} [Haseo: Someday] Let me know if you ever come to Tokyo :) [Gaspard: Re: Someday] +Affection Increase+ >Let me know if you ever come to Tokyo :) Definitely!

There are few things as happy as getting a card! :D Let me tell you this in return! Greeting cards that have the word "Gift" in their name are very rare. If you ever find one, you should carefully consider who you send it to! --- [End 'Hello!'] --- [Begin 'Food'] --- [Gaspard: Re: Food] +Affection Increase+ Thanks for the greeting card! My favorite food...I have so many, it's hard to choose! :D I guess hamburger and coke on my way home from cram school is the best though, :d-- {R1} [Haseo: Cram School] So you go to cram school? What subjects are you studying? [Gaspard: Re: Cram School] +Affection Increase+ >So you go to cram school? What subjects are you studying? English and math. Ever since I started junior high, there are tons of tests and it's more difficult to study. :( I always loved art classes in grade school. I would make up my own original card games. It's my dream to someday become a card game designer and illustrator! My mom's just started me on a diet. So now I'm always hungry, because she doesn't give me a lot to eat. :( {R2} [Haseo: Junk Food] Junk food's bad for you. It'll make you fat. [Gaspard: Re: Junk Food] +Affection Increase+ >Junk food's bad for you. It'll make you fat. Urk! My mom's just started me on a diet. So now I'm always hungry, because she doesn't give me a lot to eat. :( {R1} [Haseo: Good luck] Sorry for sending you that card while you're on a diet. Good luck! [Gaspard: Re: Good luck] +Affection Increase+ >Sorry for sending you that card while you're on a diet. >Good luck! Don't worry about it. I'm just so glad you sent me a card since I love collecting cards! I spend most of my allowance on them. My mom keeps telling me to grow out of them though. Since I don't want to become a sumo wrestler, I'll do my best with the diet! {R2} [Haseo: No Girls] Girls don't go for fatties. LOL [Gaspard: Re: No Girls] +Affection Increase+ >Girls don't go for fatties. LOL Waaah, Haseo's picking on meee. :/ Are you good looking in real life? That must be nice. Since I don't want to become a sumo wrestler, I'll do my best with the diet! {R1} [Haseo: Sumo Wrestler] A sumo wrestler? [Gaspard: Re: Sumo Wrestler] +Affection Increase+ >A sumo wrestler? When I was little, they made me enter a junior sumo league just because they said I was fat. It's discrimination!;( I was so embarrassed to be half naked. But someone who ran a sumo group talked to me about training where he does! {R2} [Haseo: Sports] Don't you play any sports? You should exercise and lose some weight. [Gaspard: Re: Sports] +Affection Increase+ >Don't you play any sports? You should exercise >and lose some weight. I'm not too good with sports. If only you could lose weight fighting battles online. LOL --- [End 'Food'] --- [Begin 'How are you?'] --- [Gaspard: Re: How are you?] +Affection Increase+ Thanks for the greeting card! If you give someone a greeting card, that means you're a good person! LOL Today I got a hidden "Werewolf Tribe" card when I bought a pack of "The World" gummies! It's a rare class that was only introduced during the final days of the previous version of "The World." It was the last card I needed to complete my collection of all 31 job classses! {R1} [Haseo: Werewolf] Werewolf? I didn't know there was a class like that. What were the characteristics? [Gaspard: Re: Werewolf] +Affection Increase+ >Werewolf? I didn't know there was a class like that. >What were the characteristics? I've only read about it online, but it looks like they were able to transform between a wolf and a beast race. As for their characteristics, I think it kind of resembled your Adept Rogue in its ability to switch its weapon. I'm so happy I got that Werewolf card right now. My character is a beast race, so I wish I could transform like that. LOL {R2} [Haseo: Gummies] All 31 classes? Just how many packs of gummies did you eat? LOL [Gaspard: Re: Gummies] +Affection Increase+ >All 31 classes? Just how many packs of gummies did you eat? LOL Believe me, it was tough putting them away. The third gummy series they're putting out now are flavored like a plum, which I really don't like. :( But starting next month, the 4th, the cola flavored series is coming out! I'm gonna have no problem getting all the cards from those! :d-- I'm so happy I got that Werewolf card right now. My character is a beast race, so I wish I could transform like that. LOL {R1} [Haseo: Transformation] Transform? You do know that your character looks more like a pig or boar, rather than a wolf, right? LOL [Gaspard: Re: Transformation] >Transform? You do know that your character looks more >like a pig or boar, rather than a wolf, right? LOL Aw, why do you have to be so mean, Haseo! :/ If my character could transform, I'm sure it'd be as cool as anyone else! I wish I had more cards. {R2} [Haseo: Hmm...] Gummy bonus cards? Maybe I'll try collecting them too. Yeah right. LOL [Gaspard: Re: Hmm...] +Affection Increase+ >Gummy bonus cards? Maybe I'll try collecting them too. >Yeah right. LOL You're interested n premiums, too?! If you want, we can trade cards to collect more. It's a lot easier to fill the gaps in your collection when you can trade with someone else's gaps! It doesn't cost too much to send them by mail. LOL {R1} [Haseo: What do you do with it] What do you do with all those cards after you collect them? [Gaspard: Re: What do you do with it] +Affection Increase+ >What do you do with all those cards after you collect them? Ooh, that's the forbidden question to ask a collector. LOL {R2} [Haseo: Collecting] Collecting stuff is fun. Getting a full complete set is every guy's dream. [Gaspard: Re: Collecting] +Affection Increase+ >Collecting stuff is fun. Getting a full complete >set is every guy's dream. Exactly! It's so much fun to collect things! Some people just like to buy complete sets on auction sites, but I prefer to collect them one by one. There's nothing better than finding a missing card to fill in a hole in your collection! --- [End 'How are you?'] --- [Begin 'Motto'] --- [Gaspard: Re: Motto] +Affection Increase+ Thanks for the greeting card!

Where did you get a "Flower Gift" greeting card?! This card is famous among card collectors for being really difficult to get. {R1} [Haseo: Really?] They're that rare? I didn't know that. [Gaspard: Re: Really?] +Affection Increase+ >They're that rare? I didn't know that. You're so amazing Haseo! This is a huge find! :D I'm gonna treasure it forever! {R2} [Haseo: To Gaspard] I thought you would enjoy it more than anyone else. [Gaspard: Re: To Gaspard] +Affection Increase+ >I thought you would enjoy it more than anyone else. Thank you so much, Haseo! I always wanted one of these. I'm gonna treasure it forever! {R1} [Haseo: Greeting Card] Can you tell me about rare greeting cards? [Gaspard: Re: Greeting Card] +Affection Increase+ >Can you tell me about rare greeting cards? All cards that end with the word "gift" in their name are rare! In fact, they're so rare that it's entirely possible you could go forever and not see one, depending on your style of play. ' There are rumors that there are some extremely rare cards that will change your entire life. As far as I know, no collectors have managed to find any cards like that though. On a different subject, I hope "Crimson VS" starts up again soon! {R2} [Haseo: Treasure] What do you treasure the most? [Gaspard: Re: Treasure] +Affection Increase+ >What do you treasure the most? Cards, of course! In real life, I've got several complete collections of "The World" trading cards and special bonus cards! I also play Crimson VS and collect them, too. {R1} [Haseo: Crimson VS?] What's Crimson VS? [Gaspard: Re: Crimson VS?] +Affection Increase+ >What's Crimson VS? Oh, you don't know? That's just so you. You really weren't interested in anything except PKKing, were you? LOL Crimson VS is another online game managed by CC Corp., just like "The World." You share the same account as the one you use for "The World," and you use cards found in "The World" to make a deck and play. But right now they're in the middle of a looong upgrade process, so no one can play. I wonder when they're going to open it back up. I just hope it DOES open back up someday. LOL {R2} [Haseo: So you like cards] You really do love cards, don't you? [Gaspard: Re: So you like cards] +Affection Increase+ >You really do love cards, don't you? I love them! I always get along great with other collectors. We always have something to talk about! But if I don't score within the school's top 20 on my grades, Mom won't let me buy any cards. She won't allow me to play "The World" either. So, it's really rough for me before exams. :( I miss being in grade school. --- [End 'Flower Gift'] --- [Begin 'Hobbies'] --- [Gaspard: Re: What are your hobbies?] +Affection Increase+ Collecting cards! I love card games too, but I also love just collecting cards themselves. {R1} [Haseo: Baseball cards] Like baseball cards? [Gaspard: Re: Baseball cards] +Affection Increase+ >Like baseball cards? Yup! That was the first kind of card I collected. The most valuable card in my collection is Kyuji Nakasugi's rookie card back when he was playing for the Tokyo Sparrows and hadn't yet gone on to the major leagues. I could get $100 for it at a shop! {R2} [Haseo: Soccer cards] Like soccer cards? [Gaspard: Re: Soccer cards] >Like soccer cards? Yup! I collect all the cards for players that belong to the local Dosankode Sapporo team! {R1} [Haseo: Your parents] What do your parents say about your card collecting? [Gaspard: Re: Your parents] +Affection Increase+ >What do your parents say about your card collecting? They don't say anything as long as I get good test scores! Although... If I get a bad score they say they won't allow me to play with them anymore. {R2} [Haseo: Cards] I like Cards too. [Gaspard: Re: Cards] +Affection Increase+ >I like Cards too. I didn't know that! That's great!! These days I'm also into "Crimson VS" and digital card collecting! {R1} [Haseo: Money] How do you get the money for your cards? [Gaspard: Re: Money] +Affection Increase+ >How do you get the money for your cards? I buy them with my allowance and holiday money. I also sell copies of rare cards that I already own to shops! {R2} [Haseo: Trading] Do you trade them and stuff? [Gaspard: Re: Trading] +Affection Increase+ >Do you trade them and stuff? I trade a lot with my friends! My teacher says she'll confiscate them if she catches us trading them in school, so we always trade them at cram school! --- [End 'Hobbies'] --- [Begin 'Challenge'] --- [Gaspard: Re: I will defeat you!] +Affection Increase+ Aww, there's no way I could beat you at anything in "The World". Oh! But I bet I could beat you at card games! {R1} [Haseo: Your skill] That reminds me, why are you so good at card games anyway? I mean, "Crimson VS" just started back up and you're already the champion. [Gaspard: Re: Your skill] +Affection Increase+ >That reminds me, why are you so good at card games anyway? Hmm. I wonder why. I'm not really sure myself. I just think really hard about my cards, and when I fight with them I end up winning. {R2} [Haseo: Card freak] You really are a big card freak, you know that? You'll never grow up to be a well-adjusted adult at this rate. [Gaspard: Re: Card freak] >You really are a big card freak, you know that? >You'll never grow up to be a well-adjusted adult at this rate. *sniff* My teacher at cram school says the same thing. But I can't help it. I like cards a lot more than I like studying or club activities. I might even like them more than food! I'm always happiest whenever I've managed to win using a deck I've spent hours and hours to design. {R1} [Haseo: Good at things we like] I guess it just means that we're naturally good at things that we like to do. So why do you like card games that much anyway? [Gaspard: Re: Good at things we like] +Affection Increase+ >So why do you like card games that much anyway? Well... In real life I never had anything I was good at. I run too slow for sprints, and I wasn't especially good at school either. I did okay with drawing, but only okay... So, I've always used to think that I was worthless. But ever since my friends taught me about card games, I found they were something that I could do better than anyone else, and I was really happy. After that, I just kept getting more and more into them, and now... Well, you know :) {R2} [Haseo: A fool's victory] Man, you really are a fool for cards. And since they say you can't beat a fool, that would explain why nobody can beat you. [Gaspard: Re: A fool's victory] >Man, you really are a fool for cards. >And since they say you can't beat a fool, >that would explain why nobody can beat you. Ahaha :) When you put it like that, I can't really say that you're wrong. I was never too good at sports or schoolwork, and I guess card games are the only thing I could ever do better than anyone else. Then I just kept getting more and more into them, and now... Well, you know :) {R1} [Haseo: What's wrong with that?] I think it's great that you have something you can do better than anyone else. I'm kind of jealous of how well you're doing at "Crimson VS" too. [Gaspard: Re: What's wrong with that?] +Affection Increase+ >I'm kind of jealous of how well you're doing >at "Crimson VS" too. I'm really happy to hear that from you, Haseo! I'm sure if you put your mind to it you can catch up to me in no time! And when that happens I'll be ready and waiting to fight you head on! :D {R2} [Haseo: Nothing good about it] Huh. So you've pretty much got nothing going for you outside card games. That makes sense, seeing as you're such a huge dork in "The World" too. [Gaspard: Re: Nothing good about it] >Huh. So you've pretty much got nothing >going for you outside card games. >That makes sense, seeing as you're such a >huge dork in "The World" too. *sniff* I'm sorry I can't help you out more.

You've still got a long ways to go if you haven't grasped what it is that makes these words great, kid. Here's how I interpret them--- Just as they say, one should not be afraid of failure when beginning something new, so just go at it with everything you've got. But, just think about how difficult that really is. he more people directly face their problems, the more they flinch and shirk away. You can't overcome that without some amazing mental strength. This phrase means to do just that. Well? Pretty deep, right? {R2} [Haseo: Apprentice] How many times do I have to tell you I'm not your apprentice?! [Antares: Re: Apprentice] +Affection Increase+ >How many times do I have to tell you I'm not >your apprentice?! Hah hah hah! You should learn to be more honest, kid. We both know you've accepted it in your heart! "Do not hesitate. Go forth and you will understand." Do you get the significance of this phrase, kid? It means don't be afraid to fail when starting something, just go out there and give it all you've got! Well? Isn't that a good saying? {R1} [Haseo: I know] I already know that. I don't need you to remind me. [Antares: Re: I know] +Affection Increase+ >I already know that. I don't need you to remind me. Hah hah hah! I guess you're right. You're no longer the same person you once were. But remember kid, don't let it all go to your head. Don't forget that the time when you're most vulnerable is the same time that you think nothing bad can happen. {R2} [Haseo: Confused] But even then it's human nature to get lost sometimes, right? For that matter, I'd have a much harder time trusting someone who's lived their whole life without worrying instead of someone who thinks things through too much. [Antares: Re: Confused] +Affection Increase+ >For that matter, I'd have a much harder time trusting someone >who's lived their whole life without worrying instead of >someone who thinks things through too much. Hah hah hah! Can't argue with you there!! But remember, kid. Being lost is also another way of moving forward. As long as they don't mistake when they should let themselves be lost, people can move forward all the time. It's okay to be lost. It's okay to worry. But don't mistake when you should let yourself be lost. Damn, now I've gone and given you another lecture.

She just handed me the flowers without saying anything, so I don't really know. {R1] [Haseo: Girlfriend] Do you have a girlfriend, Matsu? [Matsu: Re: Girlfriend] +Affection Increase+ >Do you have a girlfriend, Matsu? Nope. My bike's the only woman I need! My type of woman is someone like Yui Akiyama. I can't wait to check out "Koshigaya Story". Too bad Salvador Aihara annoys me though :) Don't you ever want to change the channel whenever he's on? {R2} [Haseo: Did you search?] Did you search the flowers at all? [Matsu: Re: Did you search?] +Affection Increase+ >Did you search the flowers at all? I just looked through them now, and there was a small letter inside. I'd never have thought to look if you hadn't said something. Thanks. What did it say? Hah, you think I'm gonna tell you? ;) --- [End 'Flower Gift'] --- [Begin 'Hobbies'] --- [Matsu: Re: What are your hobbies?] +Affection Increase+ Vintage bikes and collecting old clothes. There's a lot of cool older stuff out there. --- [End 'Hobbies'] --- [Begin 'Challenge'] --- [Matsu: Re: I will defeat you!] +Affection Increase+ Oh? Challenging me head on, are ya! I may have lost completely in the game, but I won't lose so easily in a real life fight! --- [End 'Challenge'] --- ============================== -Credits- [XCRE] ============================== Many thanks to: Ryoken1981 for transcribing a reply for comparison.
