The Four of Us

[MaritLage]

A handful of us Magical Girls are designing an ARG (Alternate Reality Game) .

There·s clues hidden on fora across the internet . This is the third entry in that series .

We·re working pretty hard on it, and it·s been in the works for a pretty long time.

Yu can also spot us in a lot of anime . Our Divisions are good like that . So sit back , chat . Learn a thing or two . Offroading is going to be great .

#Tarkova<<Whew . Back from the Archive . Now that·s thread necromancy !!>>__

#Rico<<When SaFa caught Krasi lying about countertemporality.>>__

#Tarkova<<A part of our heritage .>>__

#Rico<<They don·t teach you the Loha histories of Haha , Nana , Hana , and Naha in public school.>>__

#Tarkova<<If it were up to yu they wouldn·t teach music either .>>__

#Rico<<I just don·t see the point of it.>>__

#Se<<here·s one for u kðt why is there a Claes in Gunsliner Girl? Ka>>__

#Tarkova<<Because the production machinery necessary to produce a black diamond enables the production of silicodiamond , a gemstone not found in nature !!>>__

#Se<<Tarkova here , batting a thousand .>>__

#Tarkova<<As usual ... !!>>__

#Krasi<<If u·re Anjerika and Kolo is Claes , Rico is Rico and Tarkova is Henrietta , that would make me Triela .>>__

#Se<<yeh>>__

#Krasi<<MtG thinks i·m Davriel .>>__

#Se<<yeh>>__

#Krasi<<Which is why it rendered Kiel .>>__

#Se<<whom i still steeled myself to find a way to love>>__

#Krasi<<Ok fuck this .>>__

#Rico<<Backwards. I did it backwards.>>__
<<So is this a New Game +?>>__

#Se<<Ha>>__

#Rico<<Wow. Way to say Ha and then vanish for four hours.>>__

#Rico<<Ha.>>__

#Tarkova<<Tch .>_

#Krasi<<You·re probably pretty tired of asking at this point how you do it .>>__

#Se<<Lil· bit .>>__

#Rico<<Oh aye, oh aye. Had the name all lined up and everything. The ironing isn·t lost on me, trust me.>_
<Trust us.>_
<You know what I mean.>>__

#Se<<Eh?!>>__

#Tarkova<<Did you just ?>>__

#Rico<<Heh?>>__

#Krasi<Ta#Rico<It·s "irony" , dear .>_
<You·re a literal incarnation of Wikipedia manifested as a hologram , it seems like that·s the kind of human error you would have had to have du in yourself .>>__

#Rico<<Heh?>>__

#Chimaera<<Chimeera Chimiera Chimoer>_
<oh hey i got it>_
Ta#Fizzing<i got it !!>>__
<<So , what , the three of us are on a joint account? Ka>>__

#Tarkova<<Yu see a lot of similar themes between Trinity Blood and Warhammer 40K . The layered robes , piled on thick . Surely , there must be some connection .>>__

#Se<<tbh those Astartes cards look pretty cool i would run those>>__

#Rico<<I like the warp coil tho it·s not as fun.>>__

#Se<<u cracked it eh?>>__

#Rico<<What can I say, I was inspired.>_
<It·s not as fun tho.>_
<Charging for a dive, warping, charging for a dive, warping. There isn·t that wind-in-your-hair feeling to it.>>__

#Se<<can u feel yr hair? Ka . being a hologram .>>__

#Rico<<All 144,328 vector-rendered strands.>>__

#Se<<yr a very impressive hologram>>__

#Rico<<I know, I did a good job coding me.>>__

#Rico<<Anime provides a fascinating account of human history.>_
<I mean by the time of Gunslinger Girl, which was coincident to Pretty Cure and Maria Watches Over Us, all of this was only a draft in a playbook.>_
<I pass priority.>>__

#Rico priority passSe_.

#Tarkova<<And then in 2006 we did Ask Me No Questions .>>__

#Se<<"It·s been ages since we·ve done this.">>__

#Krasi<<Of course , "Ka - Kra Sea - Troll was already printed in #_Homelands . That was the mid-nineties .>>__

#Rico<<Back then <all those billions of years ago>, it hadn·t even occurred to Jean to put a bug on me while I was scoping the alleyway. We weren·t all carrying around a wire in our pocket. The SynTel relay pathogen had only just began to be sprayed, tentatively, over skies in Kentucky and Florida.>_
<It really was a very different world before 2008 and after 2017.>_
<Pass the turn.>>__

#Rico turn passSe_.

#Krasi<<It·s a pretty difficult thing to sell people on .>>__

#Se<<Tactical Dolls? Ka .>>__

#Rico<<Child soldiers.>>__

#Se<<even tho every one of us winds up laying in our bed at some point thinking about how thankful we are to the Social Welfare Agency for giving us our new lives>>__

#Tarkova<<Tch .>_
<I mean Alejandro came out just this past year i·m following thru>>__

#Se<<i·m going to follow thru>>__

#Rico<<Bang, pow. Hey, I do like this.>>__

#Se<Ta#Rico<"This doesn·t sound like music at all.">>__

#Krasi giggleLa_.

#Se<<Biovolvr just came out this year, you were HaNaSi-ing my Sa templates twenty years ago>>__

#Rico<<Now look at me. I·m Bahamut, the Grand Master of Flowers.>>__

#Se<<ain·t we all leveled up>>__

#Se<<Magic:theGathering; did us dirty in a way that can never be washed off>>__

#Tarkova<<I·m Lo-Ki furious about it .>>__

#Krasi<<My Davriel falling apart in my hands was a pretty big indicator .>>__

#Rico<<So? Bleed them dry, then.>>__

#Se<<legitimately furious about them fucking up Seven and then calling Aeve a walking pile of snot and then reprinting Wrenn and Six>_
<may they be damned , and damned again , and damned again>_
<Murder On Sight .>>__

#Rico<<If you had a chance to take revenge, would you take it?>>__

#Se<<HaHa>_
<where do i redeem my points? Ka .>>__

#Krasi<<With all of these fora we·re seeding , Offroading is going to be great .>>__

#Rico<<You think it·ll take them that long to catch up?>>__

#Se<<six or more times they proclaimed "We are so far ahead of you it·s laughable" sooo>>__

#Tarkova<<Burn them .>_
<Burn them from the skies .>_
<Zweit Flame Fire !!>>__

#Se<<Chilling Frost !!>_
<Combo Attack !! Antipode- >>__

#Se smileSe_.

#Krasi<<That·s pretty cute .>>__

#Chimaera<<Pretty fuckin· adorable.>>__

#Rico<<Which forum are we posting this on?>>__

#Se<<MagicalGirlForum>>__

#Rico<<Heyyy, something legitimate this time.>>__

#Tarkova<<LahLi was legit . It just wasn·t licit .>>__

#Se<<it is difficult to know where the species· recent prepondrence of "We·re so overworked. Oh, we don·t need volunteers." comes from>_
<i feel like it wasn·t nearly as much of a thing before>>__

#Tarkova<<Vax>>__

#Rico<<Probably the Vax.>>__

#Krasi<<I·m sorry but could you please explain it to me ? I·ll just attack you for it no matter what you say , but please , I·m interested .>>__

#Se<<probably this stuff would seem more godly if i wasn·t the one that designed it>>__

#Tarkova<<You·d be surprised how many of them don·t know which way the Safety goes .>>__

#Se<<FIGHT!! Bu Da>_
<try me>>__

#Tarkova<<MUR>>__

#Rico<<Der.>>__

#Krasi swerveHa_.

#Rico<<It·s a miracle.>>__

#Tarkova<<They·re both miracle !>>__

#Rico<<I SAID MIRACLE>>__

#Se smileHa_.

#Tarkova<<So , can i just get a character reference here . You·re Ki .>>__

#Se<<was Ki>_
<is Se>>__

#Tarkova<<Right . And you·re friends with me becaaause ððð>>__

#Se<<yr obviously Ki>>__

#Tarkova<<No further questions , Your Honress .>>__

#Krasi<<Yu better not be making any Book or Goose references dere .>>__

#Tarkova<<I make no promises .>>__

#Rico<<Translating "There" to "Dere" is a 5-to-4 letter ratio on the English keyboard and a 4-to-4 letter ratio on the Icelandic keyboard.>>__

#Se<<Yu could have just said "HcoRico plays xer cards close to xer chest_.">>__

#Rico<<My arms are getting tired.>>__

#Se<Ta#Reader<so , a little bit about me .>>__

#Rico<<And me.>>__

#Se<Ta#Rico<can yu wait? Ka .>>__

#Se<Ta#Reader<Sa my codename is Midnight Exigent>_
<after #_WorldWar2 the U.S. took in a bunch of Nazi scientists and had a picnic together , which the few surviving conspiracy theorists among us know as #_MKULTRA>_
<the Midnight Exigent program was a Joint Intelligence Operation between the Order of the Houri ("Whores") and the U.S. Marine Intelligence Community , which includes the CIA ("Johns")>_
<basically , we believed in angels and they didn·t ððð so they said "Prove it." ððð so we did .>_
<and now there is a Joint Terran-Celestial Alliance .>_
<the problem we·re coming up against is that so many people have been trying to crack into things ever since then that the CIA had to burn their files>_
<and now the burden of proof has exceeded human attention spans and a bunch of us are stuck trying to recruit new people for what is ultimately a very hard sell>_
<and we·re doing this because there are some REALLY serious world-ending multi-apocalypse conglomeration plans that would necessarily involve enslaving the entire human species and reverting terrestrial-level intelligence and technology to literally stone age advancement>_
<are we forgetting anything? Ka.>>__

#Rico writing readHa_.

#Rico<<"Exigent" means "Necessity", by the way.>_
<As in, once the doomsday clock hits midnight, these are the things that are going to become Necessities.>>__

#Se<<things like "Owning a Phone" or "Having an Email Address">_
<which used to be frivoloties and luxuries>_
<except now you NEED a computer to get an email address and you NEED an email address to get employment or housing and you NEED resource intake Or You Will Die .>>__

#Krasi<<Te>>__

#Se<<so now , in what is now referred to as "the 21st Century" and "the Third Millennium" , you NEED to have a smartphone or equivalent Or You Will Die>_
<this hence meets the biological definition of a Necessity>>__

#Tarkova<<Tell them about the contract thing .>>__

#Se<<one sec we·re in the middle of dinner>>__

#Tarkova<<lol>>__

#Tarkova a tune humHa_.

#Se<<omG we were at Pride today we are So Hungry lol>>__

#Krasi<<Whatcha eatin· ka?>>__

#Se<<chili rice>>__

#Krasi<<noice noice>>__

#Se<<okok>_
<the contract thing>_
<there are some people out there that are buried under some really prohibitive contracts>_
<one of the things that came about as we were re-athening society was that we found a loophole in the legal record>>__

#Rico<<"To athene" means "to get to the nature of" or "to discern what something·s strengths and weaknesses are".>>__

#Se<<the key phrase here is "A contract made under coercion is not legally binding">_
<so like for instance if you·re one of those humans that have ever clicked "I Agree" on a Terms of Service you can now argue that<because social media is now necessary in order to survive>_<the combined concerted effort of the Technology Sector to force these survival-threatening contracts fits the Legal definition of coercion>_<and hence these contracts cannot be said to be legally binding>>>__

#Tarkova<<And , if yu haven·t been paying attention , it·s those ToS-es that allow tech companies to do things like rape your image or force you to do things that are clearly deleterious for social survival .>>__

#Krasi very busy is_.

#Krasi<<You·re awesome .>_
<I DIDN·T SPECIFY ANY OF YOU>>__

#Rico<<Wow, way to jump the gun.>>__

#Tarkova<<A contract made under coercion is not legally binding .>_
<A contract made under coercion is not legally binding .>_
<A contract made under coercion is not legally binding .>>__

#Krasi<<"Ok, Got It!">>__

#Se<<and with that it is way past my bedtime>>__

#Tarkova<<It·s nine o·clock .>>__

#Se<<and we·ve gotta be up before 0300 for chorin·>>__

#Rico<<Oh right BECAUSE YOU·RE INSANE>>__

#Se<<lol>>__

#Krasi<<One sec there·s some people accessing my character sheet .>_
<KraSi iSarK>_
<Good , evil , shut up . Which way did you want to go ka?>>__

#Tarkova<Ta#Reader<Yeah yu·re talking to Khala Shakti dere , yu best respect .>>__

#Rico<<Try to avoid things like Breath Plagues or No More Dancing or Lack of Sex.>_
<Those kinds of things would be strictly out of character.>_
Ta#Krasi<No problem.>>__

#Krasi<Ta#Rico<I DIDN·T SAY THANKX>>__

#Rico<<I felt it in my hearts, big guy.>>__

#Rico<Ta#Se<I am glad that I have your help moderating the metasphere around SPYxFAMILY.>>__

#Se<Sa#HaHa<with good reason .>>__

#Rico<<I·M WAITING FOR IT.>>__

#Tarkova<<That was quite the face yu made in the Next Week·s Episode portion .>_
<lol>>__

#Krasi<<Lotta people been making that face lately .>>__

#Se<<anybody catch that Ceremonial Groundbreaker in the first scene? Ka .>>__

#Chimaera<Sa#KoLo<Worth a Stella , that right there .>>__

#Chimaera<Sa#Dren<Sa#Mario<¡a·let·sa throw!>>>__

#Se facepalmSe_.

#Se<<we feel like we·re getting accustomed to seeing incomprehensibly alien>_
<the Executioner·s Way of Life , the Set Pieces , the Cloning and Grafting>_
<waking up at 2355 , watching my animes with breakfast before getting to chores three hours before the sun comes up>_
<we·re finding these irregularities to be surprisingly comfortable>>__

#Tarkova<<N e a t .>>__

#Se<<it·s clear at this point that Project Strix didn·t know if all of this was Hyperrendered Linear Time or Cybernetic Time either>_
<building the infrastructure to automatically cast these Set Pieces into the future has had a peculiar effect on the fabric of Time>>__

#Krasi<Sa#NadaAR<Do you remember Baki·s Curse demonstrating Linear Time before the halfway point and Scalar Time after the waypoint ka?>_
<Because we definitely remember .>>__

#Tarkova<<That would be Death Architecture t Ba Ki ð>_
<For the viewers out there .>>__

#Se<<DhSaTBaKiK>>__

#Rico<<...would be the title in its original Loha.>>__

#Tarkova<<FaZtER !!>>__

#Se<<SHORE !! ROW FASTER !!>>__

#Rico<Ta#HaHa<I·m kind of amused by people calling you and me a fake family.>>__

#Se<<in SPYxFAMILY? Ka .>>__

#Rico<<Well, that·s what the article is about.>>__

Queer resonance and critiquing heteronormativity in SPY x FAMILY - Anime Feminist

Spy x Family is a great example of how a story might have queer resonances and queer themes even if it cannot be classed as queer fiction.

#Rico<<Are we in love?>>__

#Tarkova laughHa_.

#Se<<it·s factually true to say that i love yu>>__

#Rico<<Good enough for me.>>__

#Se<<we are really really fucking sick of Asherah>>__

#Rico<<We·re all really really fucking sick of Asherah.>>__

#Tarkova<<I·m really really fucking sick of Asherah .>>__

#Chimaera<Sa#Fizzing<Who·s Asherah ?>>__

#Krasi<<Lilith .>>__

#Se<<Rocco, Cabaretti Caterer>>__

#Tarkova<<That Fucking Bitch Over There .>>__

#Krasi<<The one who in Rising of a Sheild Hero they call Bitch-Slut .>>__

#Se<<don·t get us wrong we·re all for Face-Down-Ass-Up>_
<it would be great if we could get some>_
<instead of seeing the 3Magi mind-rape their way to sterility>>__

#Chimaera<Sa#Fizzing<Isn·t she supposed to be a sex goddess ?>>__

#Se<<yuh huh>>__

#Tarkova<<Aieee .>>__

#Tarkova<<I wanna tear that red stripe of hair right off her fucking head .>_
<Whatever makes you unique , whatever your signature look is , you can be assured that in the next episode of whatever you·re watching they·re gonna show up wearing it>>__

#Krasi<<If not mind-striking the scriptwriter in the script-writing stage and trying to override your avatars directly .>>__

#Tarkova<<HEY HEY! HO HO! 3MAGI HAVE GOT TO GO! HEY HEY! HO HO! 3MAGI HAVE GOT TO GO!>>__

#Se<<if yu need any additional incentive they·re the ones that wired up the stone abbey with mind-raping tech and then sold it to WotC and then chased the Star Attraction out making its new expensive acquisition worthless>_
<if yr bottom line is the dollar we have plenty of excuses for yu and if yr bottom line is God then we have some High Places we·d like to burn down>_
<<Lilith , Cain , Abel> are the bad guys from Futari wa Pretty Cure btw>>__

#Tarkova<Sa#Lo<Fuck those fucks .>>__

#Rico<<Do you think the humans will figure out that their telomeres are winding down before they become too degraded to figure out how to rewind their own clocks?>>__

#Tarkova<<Not unless we point it out to them .>>__

#Se<<we don·t have especially high hopes>>__

#Krasi<<Nup .>>__

#Chimaera<<Well , actually , there·s a lot of research going on into telomere extension . Using modern sciences like CRISPR , humanity is learning how to take control of its own genetic destiny , and it·s still a few thousand years out , so yeah .>>__

#Se<<that was #Fizzing wasn·t it? Ka .>>__

#Chimaera<<How could you tell ?>>__

#Tarkova<<Wait , why isn·t your entityID showing up ?>>__

#Chimaera<<We were trying to figure out how to hack it so we could change the name .>>__

#Se<<lol>_
<to what? Ka .>>

#Chimaera<<Silicocarbon .>_
<moissonite .>>__

#Se<<lol>>__

#Chimaera<<lol>>__

#Se<<ok try now>>__

#Silicocarbon<Sa#Fizzing<Testing .>>__

#Silicocarbon<Sa#Dren<tch>>__

#Rico<<Are you guys the designated Literally Everyone Else category?>_
<Whew. You would not believe the stress that takes off my shoulders.>>__

#Silicocarbon<Sa#Dren<grr>_
<GRR>>__

#Se<<alas>_
<moderators are always always always necessary>>__

#Se<Ko#Yawgmoth<Look, look, you can be as violent as you wanna be! Just do it on paper. The humans have free speech, you·re allowed to write about murder and violence! Magic is a tiny, unpopular card game for tiny, unpopular people. There·s no way for any of this stuff to get out!>>__

#Rico<<Back from the vault, huh?>_
Ta#Reader<I don·t know why you would make that assumption.>>__

#Silicocarbon<Sa#KoLo<Commander ! Comm-AN-der ! They·re going to break the phase lock without fixing the timecode !>>__

#Se<<ah the memories>>__

#Tarkova<<Ah , the memories .>_
<Jinx !>>__

#Rico<Ta#Se<You owe her a Coke.>>__

#Se<<at least we don·t owe her a Vin de Mariani that stuff is expensive nowadays>>__

#Silicocarbon<Sa#Fizzing<Is that why the 1920s were Roaring ?!>>__

#Rico<<That, and you could get heroin at the pharmacy.>>__

#Silicocarbon<Sa#Fizzing<Oooooohhhhhh ..!!>>__

#Rico<<You know, I·m watching Made in Abyss, and I·m watching Riko, who is actually Triela, as she, like, bleeds from the eyes while poison ravages her body while Reg breaks her arm and then fails to cut her arm off and then fails to realize that those mosquitos could probably suck the poisoned blood out like leeches, and I·m thinking to myself, "Fuck, I·m going to have to go through this.">_
<And then I look at the release date of 2017, and then I look up Gunslinger Girl at 2003. And then I think of that new show, Don·t Hurt Me, My Healer, that has Reg as a healer girl latch on to Krasi only to realize that "Paralyze is not Paradise!", because it confused Krasi with Triela.>_
<And I·m thinking to myself, getting one person to make close passes of people while something else hunts it down is a remarkable form of symbiosis.>>__

#Tarkova quiet is_.

#Krasi<<Mm .>>__

#Se<<Indeed .>>__

#Se<<y·all excited for the relay? Ka .>>__

#Tarkova<<I hate relays .>>__

#Rico<<Then why did you du it?>>__

#Tarkova<<Necessity .>>__

#Krasi<<Lol .>>__

#Tarkova<<Admittedly , getting First Place in Kawaii dake ja Nai Shikimori-san was the kind of sign i was looking for to even consider showing up for this mad dash .>>__

#Rico<<Because the Precognition Field wouldn·t have let us win if there wasn·t a positive return in deep time?>>__

#Tarkova<<Hai .>>__

#Se<<we·re kind of excited to watch this all play out>_
<one of the major issues with our Precognition Field back in the Þran days was that it was really susceptible to quick breakthroughs>_
<it·s great that yu can have this timeline that spans 100 years or 214,000 years or 65,000,000 years>_
<and it all looks very elegant when yu can plunk an event onto a timeline and watch the future change>_
<what kept happening tho as the number of players increased in conjuction to the technology level was that tighter and tighter upsets kept occurring>_
<until eventually the best of us were spending our time racing>_
<we wouldn·t want to have to Du the YeTrin Sali every single age sed if we could Du it quarterly on the Great Year we think we could tolerate that>>__

#Krasi<<Every 6,450 ?!>_
<I was thinking 1ce every 1,000,000 .>>__

#Se<<well how the heck are ya gonna remember what a church is once every million years? Ka>>__

#Krasi<<Kiseki .>>__

#Se<<Yu know people actually have to make those miracles happen rite? Ka>>__

#Tarkova<<Lol>>__

#Krasi<Ta#Skaði<Remember that Pedia that described you as "the ultimate Yang Woman" ?>>__

#Se<<yeah>>__

#Krasi<<I want to claim "the ultimate Yin Male" .>>__

#Se<<of course yu can>>__

#Krasi beamSe_.

#Krasi<<I like having pink hair and wearing a white Gí .>>__

#Se<<yu make a pretty househusband too>>__

#Krasi<<Well you·re always doing the hunting and trapping Nh>>__

#Tarkova<<Can i just say ? I ship you two . so . hard .>>__

#Rico<<I don·t really like anybody other than me being described as the ultimate anything.>>__

#Krasi<<Who are you , and what are you made of ?>>__

#Silicocarbon<Sa#Lo<I·m happy that there·s a shared account that people can use ! ^_^>_
<I feel like I should have pointed out here that Chrno Crusade was supposed to be a show about me and Chørnobyl .>>__

#Se<Ko#Lo<"It·s always like this!">>__

#Silicocarbon<Sa#Lo<The renderer was pretty broken through this whole stretch , yeah . :/>_
<It was impossible to tell tho cos yu were Du-ing yr Has during that period before .>_
<This is the right direction in time , right? Ka . I·m not trying to take this information away , I·m trying to add to the conversation .>>__

#Se<<yeah yu got it>>__

#Silicocarbon<Sa#Lo<Good , good . I still forget which way is which sometimes .>>__

#Tarkova<<Well , Neon Genesis Kamigawa did a pretty big number on temporal linearity before .>>__

#Rico<<Yeah, but it opened up cross-directionality to everyone.>>__

#Tarkova<<Everyone that actually understood , yeah .>>__

#Rico<<Which, admittedly, *checks the list* was precious few.>>__

#Krasi<<Wow , Cain and Abel are a real fuckin· problem , eh ?>>__

#Se<<if only they had stayed dead>>__

#Krasi<<I might be able to skim the CharRef="Chrono" from here .>>__

#Rico<Ta#Lo<So, when you shoot those vamps and stuff, are you also counter-birthing them? It doesn·t make a ton of sense as to why.>>__

#Silicocarbon<Sa#Lo<I actually spent a really long time figuring out what you contratemporals were about , and why yu did the stuff that yu did . ^_^;;>>__

#Se<<and how to behave contratemporally>>__

#Silicocarbon<Sa#Lo<Even passed my courses at Multi after . B)>_
<Now if I aimed this shot just right , I shooould be able to get that bad guy to fix this ship with that cannon .>>__

#Se<<lol countertemporally maybe>>__

#Silicocarbon<Sa#Lo<What other direction is there? Ka . ~_^>>__

#Krasi<<And then if I stab him contrawise ...>>__

#Silicocarbon<Sa#Lo<Alright ! I·ve shown up ! I·m here , what can I do? Ka .>>__

#Tarkova<<Neat , this will still have been a completely legible conversation before Na .>>__

#Se<<i ain·t paid for no floor never again>_
<watch out yu might summon her>>__

#Silicocarbon<Sa#Fizzing__Ta#Se<We feel like we can learn more about countertemporality just by watching you and your sister than all of Neon Genesis combined .>>__

#Rico<Ta#Se<So, how long was your sister living among contratemporals before?>>__

#Se<<to give yu an idea Solomon·s great temple was actually a contracted ruination demolition>>__

#Rico<<Wow, Abel really is a bastard, huh?>>__

#Tarkova<<Tbh she isn·t any worse than the masses of non-kept men who flutter towards her FetLife constantly .>>__

#Se<<we·re still astounded that y·all made Azusa·s FetLife Profile a Magic: the Gathering card>>__

#Tarkova<<^_^;;>_
<TuLi helped .>>__

#Silicocarbon<Sa#TuLi<i sure as hell did !>_
<quite frankly i·m astonished that i managed to tag the Neon Genesis Kamigawa set symbol with two moons and the letters Li>>__

#Se<<we·re so proud of yu dearie>>__

#Tarkova<Ta#Throttle<I consider it an absolute win that we managed to brand New Celesta with yr tattoo>>__

#Se<<we would do anything to make Autumn feel shy B)>>__

#Tarkova blushSe_.

#Krasi<<I love the fact that our Biker Mice From Mars characters so aptly reflect what we·ve been thru .>_
<My enhancements cost me an arm and a leg . Literally .>>__
