Seriously, I would prefer the saloons. But charging RM200 (roughly USD65?) just for highlighting is ridiculous, when I can get the highlighter colours just for RM30-50 a box. >_>;

Hehe I'm a chinese, actually, so my hair's all dark brownished black and all. The only white highlight that would work for me are those temporary ones that could be washed off after once or twice. XD;

You weren't? OWO;

...And I was wondering why the text was suddenly not black and uniform. Then BOOM. Vicky and Zhang He text.

Kukuku~! XD

Bridget... I don't know. He needs serious pointers on manliness. He's already cute as he is... I don't know though. It feels always like a lost cause on his part. -sad little nod-

Zhuge Liang is a real snake. A damn sneaky one too.
It's always the quiet ones you have to be wary about. -nods-

omg! that price for highlights over there are they same price for a haircut over in SF .__. well at least this one place i checked that looked reliable. the ones in chinatown look cheap, but i'm too scared to try it out since i dunt know cantonese ;__;

oooh~ temp highlights are so cool, i wanted to try pink, but it was the last week of school for me and i dunt think i had enough time to try ^^; oh well~ x3

@whitebeast:
Nope, I wasn't. It's always these odd ones that are the most amusing. XD

It is because Bridget is cute as it is that makes him Guilty Gear's most popular sex toy among the fan(boy)s. =_=;

I already disliked him as it is. Then seeing him conduct his battles... -insert vein throb-

Then that Zhou Yu burial incident... XD;

Poor Jiang Wei. Committed suicide just after one (failed) battle. *sobs for him*

@wasashu:
...... Wow, expensive haircuts.
You know, for all the chinese I am, I avoid 'Chinatown' saloons too, unless they have a good reputation. xD;

And amusingly enough, my Cantonese is my best spoken chinese dialect. I'm only half decent with Mandarin (can't converse in it), and I'm hopeless with others like Hakka, Hokkien, Teochew... xDD

I had a temporary highlight set I won in a lucky draw once. There was white, pink and light green in it. x3
(Now finished. My sister used it up. Bleh.)

When you go to saloons, you're practically paying for the services. DX

Not much on the electricity or the materials.

Huu~! So expensive. ; ;

Just like those erm... 'Fine food' restaurants? lol

Yeah, what more it's a new year, prices keep on increasing. And it'll increase even further after Chinese New Year. >_<;

YES.

._.

Though I'd say those restaurants do try to make themselves stand out by actually coming up with gimmicks or even food you can't find elsewhere sort of thing.

~ <///3

Justify the costs >3>

Haha... XD
Still, I believe in the cheaper the food, the more delicious thing, though. lol
But of course, have to make sure it's actually safe to eat. Don't want a food poisoning session. >.>;

It really sounds fun. XD

lol At least I'm helping you a little with your gold count.
And you're welcome. ^_^
(Though I have no idea what was it I asked already.)

Ah, here's something I just sketched out. Imma so gonna get killed with the top image.

The one on the right was actually a necklace I saw a few years back somewhere. I wanted to buy it, but it was costly. =X
The circle is made out of wood, and in the middle was thin black string threaded like a spiders web. At the bottom, there were three white to red feathers (somewhat like Lu Xun's), the middle one slightly larger than the other two by it's side.



EDIT:
@Kitti:
It's okay. Your avatar's much fun. XD
Though I have to say I actually like the colours of the previous one better. ^^

It's really difficult to find. Christmas babies and 31st babies, I have met, but rarely my own. ^_^;

hehe
oh you do? sorry! ^^;

and yes it is! we're rare! 8D
lolz

It has always spooked me out how Buri-chan became some kind of shota/sex symbol. O_o;
But then he's cute, adorable and sincere so he wins in my book somehow. XDDDD!!!

Men and their honor/pride. I swear.

-sobs for both Jiang Wei and Zhou Yu-

And to think they were cuter than Zhuge Liang. Ke ke ke.

...; ___ ; Kyuu~

But here when food's cheap they're usually cutting costs on the flavor and it's really less than what it ought! DX -cries-

Though I know what you mean mah dear~ >3

Dammit. I've been out the whole day. 7 hours in the hospital is NOT my cup of tea. The times I need the vein throb avatar... Urgh, traffic jams.
[/rant]

@Kitti:
Almost done with it. =D
Just need to add in the shadings and fix the expressions. xD;

@whitebeast:
It made me shudder in horror but with slightly bewildered amusement at what happened to Bridget. Nevertheless, hail Daisuke to what he did to "Princess" King Ky in GG2. >_O;

Men wouldn't be men without their pride and honor. lol

True. What with gradually increasing prices. I miss my cheap ice-cream cone days. ;_;

Ke ke ke. >D

I'm going to provide a possible 'Bridget' like possibility in the shop. FOR FUN.

-giggles-

Princess... 8D -runs around happily with scissors-

They totally wouldn't be without pride and honor.

-looks at Jiang Wei- Sorry >>;

WHAT DIT THEY DO TO ZHANG HE?!

I want ice cream now. D8

*horrors of horrors*

Adopter adopts pretty female doll.
*lifts up skirt/dress*

@#%$(%#^$^!!!!!!

Mehehehe >3

*pats Ky*
I like the fact Sin fights with a giant flag, though. XD

Poor Jiang Wei. Poor anyone who went against Zhuge, actually. *sniff*

From flamboyant to... to... *bawls*

I SWEAR, they'll git him in a freaking GOWN and BITCH BOOTS in the next installment!

Oh, wait. He is already wearing the boots.... *wails*

*licks choc chip ice-cream in mute resentment*

._.

You know?

I don't intend it but when my BJD was still blond and then again---now he's long and black haired, people like to lift his kimono and get shocked he has a penis.

D8

EVIL SNAKE. HE'S A COOLD HEARTED SNAAAKE~! -sings Paula Abdul song-

>.>;

...Flamboyant to what? D8

Just dress wise he's gone girl.

How about his personality? :S

-wants ice cream- ; 3 ;

ROFL XDD

'Special' BJD, huh. Would that be an NPC? 8D

I would say they went over flamboyant. He's no better than a drag queen (with style) already. D=

He was acting like a Sentai last I watched his sole event vid. It was traumatizing. ;3;

MAAAYBE. 8D

-giggles- We could have that as a NPC he'll be in charge of something. I'll have to think about what though.

ZHANG HE PLACED THE CAPITAL F IN FLAMBOYANT.

AND THEY...-goes speechless-

I'd ask for a youtube link but my PC hates Youtube.

.______.

In the same way I earn strange amounts of gold now.

D8

*snicker*snicker*

Yeah, and he could remain as a she for as long as everyone believes so. *grin*

I shall stop ranting about what KOEI did to Zhang He. It's painful to think about it. ;__;

I think you can download the .avi (or was it .mpeg) file from KoeiWarriors, instead of watching from Youtube. If not, I could always download from Youtube and send it to you? ^_^;

@About your problem, there were several replies last I checked. Take a look at them and see if they help. =D

...If ever, I'll name him Bree by the way.

Bree is a variation of Bridget. >D

Ke ke ke.

You are feeding me ideas.

Hmm. I could do that. o3o;

Hurrah for Koeiwarriors! Truth be told, comparing Zhang He to real Zhang He is a total WTF.

They didn't have to totally FAAAAAK it did they? D8

I checked. Thank you ; 3 ;

LoL Bree-chan! XD

I'm somehow reminded of sheep. But that might be just me.
(Already imagining Bree with ram horns. -shot-)

Hehe Glad I am of some use. I like coming up with characters/storyline ideas. It's fun work, if not me being a little cliche sometimes. xD

I KNOW. D:

I had the unfortunate luck of reading the novel before being introduced to the game. And it was like... "WOW. I never imagined them to look/act like that!"

You're welcome. =)

EDIT:
Those header coding glitches are eating up my browser space... >_O

I wonder why we have header glitches in the first place. :3

I did not read or get any taste of the real thing prior.

But one look at flamboyant Zhang He, I seriously felt something was terribly wrong.

Yeap. Sounds like sheep. Cute though. >3

I know. He can be the NPC in charge of a cafe or hang out for the dolls and owners---they can be natural and stop pretending to be adopters of the souls and just smack each other up for kicks and such there.

Ke ke ke. ILU ~ <3!!!

Fairy tales. Novels work too. The Psycho trio are characters from novels.

Carmilla from Sheridan La Fanu`s novel.

Dr. Jekyll from hell you know where where. XDDD

And the third, I am still deciding.Even some bits of history. >3

But if you plan to take out so much liberty, state so and why. I will be looking for another artist for another special since you practically gave me the idea of why not?! XD

-hugs- ; ;

Probably had something to do with the recent gold hack? I'm not very sure. *shrug*

Well, if you DO plan to read the Three Kingdoms not in it's original chinese form (it was pure torture for me reading it; I had an old chinese dictionary with me and gave up after two chapters anyway lol), be careful of which English translated version you pick, as many of them are very watered down and has self-interpretations of certain events that happened in the novel.

KOEI was canon in it's GENERAL storyline, but apart from that... lol.

You know, Zhao Yun was actually a rather intelligent soldier. So was Zhang He. In fact, he helped quite a lot in strategies during battle. The only reason he died was because Sima Yi went against Zhang He's advice and protests against sending him to an unwise location to attack. Sima Yi insisted. Zhang He died. Bleh.

Bree-chan! <3
Man, I can even picture him/her as the sort to go, "Bree is feeling hungry... Hhat shall Bree make for lunch today? <3"

Hehe Since you're basing them from novels, why not try Dracula?

Oh, I recommend a good novel if you like sarcasm, humour and satire. Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaimann. I highly recommend this book. X3

lol Sure thing! I have to go back to read my fairy tails to decide on a good one. I'll been thinking of several, but undecided on which to use yet. =D

As for the three kingdoms, I think I'll finish Genji first. :S
It's translated though.

Now you make me want to try reading all whatever possible translations just to understand what really happened. But I guess that's just a little hard core eh?

...Stop invading my mind.

-.-; *was thinking of that sort of thing for Bree indeed* He'll run a maid/cosplay cafe so he can REALLY dress up and have fun.

Let's see how many male owners will flirt and try to make moves on him only to find out...

BWAHAHAH~!!! -runs around with scissors-

Yup. I read Zhang He was quite a smart one but... Oh well. Lover's spat--- I mean misunderstanding and such happened. Such a waste though.

He wasn't one of the four generals of Wei for nothing after all.

I was thinking of Dracula too. XD

Ke ke ke.

But copyright! :S

-.-; -fears it a lot-

I'm planning to lift from local folktales here for kicks. He he he.

Hehe. I never tried Genji. I just read the summary for it cause the book was more than I could afford. xD

There was one translation that was rather good, but I can't seem to recall the name of the author/translator. When I remember/find out, I'll tell you, kay? You might have to order though, as bookstores usually bring in the cheaper ones (the ones that brings more profit).

I am not doing nothing to your mind. D:

*nodnodnod*

*nods again*

Mehehe. I wonder how long it'll take for them to figure it out. XD

Very true. If not for Zhang He's quick thinking when Guo Tu sold him out, he and Gao Lan would have been dead even before they reached Wei.

I thought there were five generals. xD;

How could Dracula be copyright when there are a billion and one renditions of vampires and draculas out there?! Besides, you're already adopting ideas from other novels, Dracula would hardly be noticeable. You can make a Lisa doll. =3

Talking about local folklores, the Pied Piper of Hamelin is a popular one. Then there is the vain king. If I want to go into greek mythology, there would be so MANY to derive from. I'd start with Morpheus, the god of dreams. XD

Genji's a little boring. It's mostly like...The secret life of the nobility. >D
Ke ke ke. Though I have yet to pick up on it again... Maybe now it would feel more interesting.

Yup please do tell me when you do remember. :3

I don't know. We'll find out how long it'll take them to find out. Let's hope they don't find that we're plotting already on your thread. If they do, they'll find out! -gasps- D:

OH FIVE. BRAIN WENT TO SLEEP SORRY. >>;

I know there are many versions but... Heck, he's a little overdone isn't he?
Lisa? :D'

Speaking of Pied Piper. I do have a plan of rendering him as one of the standard assemblies.

...Be careful with the Greek myths though. :S

Just stick to folklore and what not. Fairy tales. Something that doesn't move towards religion/pantheons.

@[email protected];

Hence I won't be using the gods/goddesses.

Since Persona did that already AND... I'm kind of religious in an odd way. O3o;

Hmm... I think I'll stick to the game. xD

=D

Well, uh. If they're bored enough to read through all the text, then maybe. I hope they'd forget about it if they DO stumble across it here. xD
No matter. Since no one else seems to be posting. lol

Mehehe It's ohkay. Five Tiger Generals, Five Great Generals, Five...?

Yep! Dracula's really overdone. Though I still like the Mathias rendition the best. ^3^

Lisa's good. 83

Hmm.... True. It might be a sensitive subject to some. Though, there is this Chinese folklore about an old man going around carrying a paper umbrella. He tells stories to children at night to help them to sleep, thus only children are able to see him. His form changes depending on the personality and the 'goodness' of the child he appears in front of. He's somewhat an equivalent to the god of dreams, though for children. I find him a rather enchanting character. Maybe I'll try him out. =D
