Knowing Niou and his excessive amount of sort of free time, he probably has learned to juggle apples (or larger fruits if he's really bored). I don't know if he would have enough time to throw the apple, grab his bow, and then fire the arrow lmao. Buuuuuut, you just gave me a pretty fantastic idea. Yagyuu can throw the apples and Niou can fire away. I feel this is something they would do when all the fighting is over XD

In the As the Pieces spin-off (it's on myanimelist since ff.net doesn't allow chat format), the non-Platinum Pair characters get a hand on Yanagi's story and make fun of it to each other. During the Rikkai picnic, there's this great length of time where Sanada doesn't say anything, and then I noticed it later that he didn't say anything. So I had one of the characters point that out and then he says "These mangoes are good." That is where Sanada's love for mangoes was born!!

I'll pass along your good luck to my brother. He's looking to study abroad next year (this is the part where some jealousy kicks in). Japan has phenomenal band programs (or at least, the bands on the All-Japan Band contests are freaking phenomenal)... If I could speak the language, maybe I'd go over there and teach a kick-butt band program XD I hope that you don't forget more of your Japanese - the PoT fandom is calling to you for translations!!!

I was introduced to Nico nico when the first Giri Giri Morning came out. But alas, I am at home on dial-up internet so that keeps me from going on Nico Nico or YouTube. Or anywhere there's like a hundred images on the same page. And when I do go to wifi zone, I am downloading and working on business, which doesn't leave time for other stuff :/

If you ever find that Kuroshitsuji/Rikkai one, I will love you forever.

Between me and you, he shall be Lord Yukimura! Speaking of which, I needed a change of pace, so I wrote what would be around Ch. 52 (the part where Sanada and Yukimura finally get together)... And Sanada calls him 'Lord Yukimura' and Yukimura is like "You know... you don't have to call me that when we're alone together". It was funny to me. XD

Yup - I'm awaiting for the teachers in my area to get sick/need a day off/etc. since I'm registered as a substitute teacher. Been applying to the zero music jobs and some secretary positions (since it's something that greatly interests me and I have a lot of experience in the office).

I say 2013 'cause a flight from Michigan to California isn't going to be cheap lol. Gives some time for people to save up some money. But if you end up moving closer to me, we can always hit a convention around there. It shall be fantastic to finally go to one. Best of luck to both of us to get a job!!! (Q: I totally forgot what you majored in as a teacher... tell me please?)

Sanada ended up being the choice 'cause all of my friends say that I channel so much of his attributes... and that they want me to yell at random people about discipline and honor and to Tarundoru everything else XD So I guess they want me to make an epic fool out of myself But for multi-day conventions, I'll be Sanada the first, and then Yagyuu the next when my voice goes hoarse lol. And challenge people to tennis matches

>>> One of these days I shall be Sebastian. Because I'm a sucker for tailcoats and formal wear. Or I could be Sanada/Yagyuu from the Pairpuri where they are in tailcoats haha. XD

What kept you from not being Yagyuu fellow Yagyuu fan? :D

Your Legend of the Sun Knight fic is on my to-read list. It just looks so interesting! I don't do suspense too well so I think part of me is waiting for it to get closer to the end before I start reading. And I love your writing in general <3

Oooo... The brown hair guy sounds like my cup of tea. What's his name? I shall go wikipedia-ing/google-ing for LotSK now!
