Next post you get the answers. Enjoy the reads and views. Sayonara for now my tomodachis- K&K

IFC (Ch 164) no longer airs other anime.
Basilisk concluded its run a week ago or so. It was replaced by Monty Python's Flying Circus at 11:30 PM on Tuesdays.
That's it for `normal tv anime viewing' but read on for all the stuff on COD:
Meet our own anime babe spokesgal- Neko Olson. animeontv.com has theirs so we have ours too. Neko (kudos to highteckdudu who created her and allows me to use her image and character in my fanfictions) is a shapeshifting nekomata/demon/cat (neko is cat in Japanese)/human/trill. Read all about her in Xmas with the Dirty Pair here in Chatterbox and in Angel Wings at http://www.eons.com/groups/group/anime-a-holics/blogs and look for another stunning work of art from HTDD in an upcoming Xmas chapter here at Chatterbox.

Kudos to the Q&A gang here at GAIA for telling me how to post pix using Photobucket and I forgot that I already had an account there!
I'm so used to posting from EONS that I never thought of anyplace else. A big domo arigatou to both xi-kwoo and Mystic Deadman for all their help.

SYFY's AniMonday (11 PM to 1 AM ET) is a double eppy of Monster (Doctor running from the law for a crime he did not do- sound familiar?) followed by a different anime movie. This week's offering is Blood:The Last Vampire.
Good news from SYFY folks! AniMonday has been expanded from 9 PM ET to 1 AM ET with the first two hours called Chiller. Chiller will feature unusual and scary anime film masterpieces beginning with Blood:The Last Vampire which spawned the Blood+ saga and a brand new live action film now running in theatres. Looks like 24 August will be Chiller's debut.
If you get SYFY in the SE PA-USA area you are still getting Star Trek-TNG reruns from 9 to 11 ET on Mondays dammit!
Hey WitchBlade the film (with Sarah Pezzini not Masane Amaha- yech!) will hit theatres in a year or so while DragonBall and Death Note are already out there showing.
Many more anime based flicks are coming soon and they are filming Bebop with Keanu Reeves in Dave's role as Spike Steigel.
For Jett I'd pick LF- Larry Fishburne or even MF- Morgan Freeman. Denzel Washington or Samuel L Jackson don't fit the mold.
How about Miley Cyrus aka Hannah Montana as `Ed' and Lindsay Lohan as Faye Valentine? (Rafe) Donnelly could be Tommie Lee Jones. Hey I oughta be a Hollywood cast finder eh?
Gad, I wonder how much of a muckup they'll make of the `Bebop', `Swordfish II', `Redtail' and `Hammerhead'? I don't think Ed's power scooter had a name although we all know the computer she wore on her head with `goggle monitors' was named `Tomato'!
In both Code Geas and in FMA some of the characters have a special logo in their eye a la Code Lyoko's XANA logo in the evil characters' eyes.
In both Death Note and Bleach there are specific hints as to character origins. In DN Ryuuk tells Light Yagami that any user of the DN book can neither go to Heaven nor Hell after death. So what's left? Shinigami World meaning that DN book users after death become Shinigami death gods- right?
Guess what live TV series is a DN parallel series? Hint- it's on Showtime.
In Bleach Rukia's Squad 13 captain (the one that is always sick as a rule) tells a subordinate that Ichigo's friends are special with unusually high spiritual pressures. He goes on to say that he would not be at all surprised if after death they became soul reapers themselves after they had passed on to the Soul Society.
Renji Abari committed a minor faux pas in this week's eppy. While fighting one of the Arrancar Hollows he told him that by the time Kiske arrived the Arrancar himself would be dead. He apparently forgot that all Hollows are already dead to begin with.
For that matter are soul reapers really alive or dead?
Now the gang's playing soccer & Kendo with the KKTown kids! Wonder how Yamamoto likes that? They are supposed to be training for the winter war with the Arrancar & Aizen!
Ichigo, Urryuu and Chad have just met three Arrancars and their pet in the Wako Mundo desert on their way to Las Noches (The Nights) which is Aizen's HQ fortress.
Seems not all Arrancars and Hollows are bad because these guys gave `em a lift and are guiding them to LN. Live and learn guys.
Why are they in WM? Aizen has Orihime of course! (see new post for more)(This is where they will pick up the tale in May supposedly gang)
Bleach pulled a bummer on us and has dropped back 30 eppys to the first time the Vizoreds came to Kara Kura Town so no new stuff for awhile I'm afraid.
Try bleachanime.org which has every single eppy on DL.
New club Bleach4Ever just started up on FaceBook too.
Another new Bleach group on FB besides the B4E group just started too.
Anyway Icchi's being taught how to control his Hollow within by the Vizoreds and Orihime's shikigami Tsubaki was just recreated by one of the Vizoreds.
Now she can fight in the upcoming battles with at least one attack weapon.
Toshie and Rangiku are fighting again as are Ikkiku and his compadre.
Toshie had a vidscreen visit from Momo who wants him to save poor Cpt Aizen! Of course he can't promise that since Head Cpt Yamamoto has ordered his death.
Things are coming to a head and it looks like Aizen needs Orihime for something.
Yamamoto has explained about the Hojio Key that opens the hidden dimension where the royals of the Soul Society live. He wants to take over and plans on killing the royals to do it.
He swiped the Hojioque but needs a catalyst to open it as well as the souls and place of 100K humans!
In other words all of Kara Kura Town and everyone in it!
Renji Abari is sparring with Chad hoping to increase the big guy's power.
Kiske is acting like a jackass as usual and Yoruichi is being mysterious again.
All jigoku (Hell) seems about to break loose so stay tuned folks!
Discovered why Moribito theme music is so familiar. Group is Arc `n ciel who did the GTO theme Driver's Edge.
Early OT and ET for Death Note are done by Nightmare group which is what the Black Knights and Brittanians' Gundamlike fighting suits are called.
Is this the end of Morabito? Sure seemed like it after Saturday's eppy! (Gone but not forgotten now)
In FMA Ed has learned truth behind the Ishbaal massacre of fifteen years ago while brother Al has just discovered the identity of the Homunculi leader from the snake chimera Marta seconds before she was murdered by the #7 Homunculus- the Fuehrer King Bradley himself. He is Pride- the seventh deadly sin! But- who is his boss?
Rose of Lior has become pals with Lira the girl alchemist who used to be with Yochi the state alchemist army lieutenant and she's now called the Holy Mother but she has gone mute and who's her baby's father?
The climax seems to be fast approaching and it promises to be exciting so don't miss it gang!
Hohenheim the Elrics dad is back and going after Dante. Al has become a deadly time bomb courtesy of an unknowing Scar and an evil Kimlee the Crimson Alchemist who used the red stones in Ed's SAA watch to transmute the souls in Scar's arm into a philosopher's stone! (This FMA has ended at least for now and has been replaced by FMA:Brotherhood- see below for details)
The new Ed & Al FMA called Brotherhood premieres this weekend (see details above) and seems to be a retelling of the same story only from a different perspective and with a totally different ending.
For example this one takes place mostly in our world- the land beyond the Gate of Alchemy between the two world wars.
Another Bleach note- why did Aizen want Orihime kidnapped?
What or who is the sojioque he has stolen which will awaken in the winter? Who is the lad newly born from its power?
What does Kiske know which he ain't telling?
Can Ichigo defeat his Espada nemesis?
Don't ya just love that jutsu used by Captain Toshiro Hitagawa- reign over the frosted heavens! then the name of his zambatou?
A version of it is used by the evil Dragon Emporer in Mummy 3 when Jet Li turns a field of snow into jagged ice stalagmites. Of course he has mastery over the five Chinese elements- fire, water, earth, wood and metal! If there are only five elements in Chinese philosophy then how can there be an avatar or guardian of the air- Avatar the Last Airbender?
Air is not one of those elements!
And who's the looney tunes Espada poor Rangiku is stuck with?
Avatar in theatres is NOT Avatar the Last Airbender. Instead Avatar is like a BGR or a Gundam! Now it will be Avatar vs Avatar with the new The Last Airbender (coming to theatres in July) which is the live film version of Avatar the anime series featuring Aang and his companions from the 4 lands in the far distant future.
Avatar the other one just fell to another Johnny come lately film!
Getting into DLs and ULs and burning CDs again. Finally got myself into attaching videos to messages like I do pix now and thanks to Blaine it's so easy! Check out the fave anime moments/eppys message log here.
Several Angelic contributions are there courtesy of yours truly. Mama's new read is Helma from the Tros of Samothrace series. Ho hum so far. Tros is getting interesting now- very interesting with refs to English countryside landmarks.
Dan Brown's Lost Symbol was just excellent! I loved it. A lot of Freemason stuff in it I didn't know. If any of you are Literary Guild members by all means check out the secret societies books they have at reasonable prices.
I have just added three plums to my anime vids collection: Complete DVD sets of Noir, Gasaraki and Tactics. I already have the complete set of Black Lagoon on DVD and partials on Blood+, Cyborg 009, FMA, Bleach and a few others.
I have the first 7 eppys of Morabito and am on the lookout for the set. Bobby has the complete set of Trigun and Mama has the complete set of Gunslinger Girl and Witchblade. Anyone else have any new acquisitions to talk about?
If so blog it here or post some messages folks.
Bobby has Monster and I have My Santa and I just got Santa Claus Conquers the Martians on DVD. Now have Bebop movie on DVD and VHS. Just got GS Innocence 2 and Haunting in Connecticutt. Thundercats came at last for Mama.
Still have yet to watch DB Evolution film.
SYFY is airing Destination Truth which is like JBs old Digging for the Truth on HC. DT is hosted by Josh Bates or Gates and looks pretty good.
Anyone know why SYFY considers wrestling science fiction stuff?
This just in folks! Josh Bernstein has revamped his website and is now using Twitter too. He has a fab group called JBs Group at YG.
Dan Brown is on both Twitter and FaceBook now.
What do you guys think about my starting an anime recipes file and a golf tips corner either here or at AH1 or somewhere else?
Animeinfor.org is the only place I have ever seen an anime recipes section.
As for golf tips- what can I say? I love golf- passionately even if I don't play as much as I used to. Gomen but I just remembered this.
Kudos to Robert the artist for hire for finding Dan Doh- probably the only anime series about golf itself! Sadly there are no dubs of it just subs. It can be found at VEOH and hulu quite easily. I'll post a pix or two soon.
Golf tips begin here in March. Direct from Golf Magazine! And my own lil hints from 40+ years of the game I love!
Another great show was In Search Of narrated by Leonard `Mr Spock' Nimoy and I recall an eppy of theirs re the Knights Templar and Foucault's Pendulum. If anyone knows where I can find a copy of those gems on VHS or DVD onegai let me know. A big domo arigatou in advance for your assistance.
Gotta really go now and get some blogging done and maybe post Chapter 69 at last.
Just began reposting Xmas w/ the DP at www.gaia.com/forums/chatterbox/christmaswiththedirtypairChapter2 and just posted Chapter 1 (after Ch 50- sorry long story gang) and have now posted Ch 52 as well.
Great pix too as I am now illustrating my posts of Xmas over there. Wings will follow as soon as I finish posting it here and at ff.net.
ANOL is giving me fits too.
Just found out I may get an HP Windows 7 for Kurisumasu. Actually it's coming ashita and I just emailed Justin for some help in transitioning from Vista to W7. Didn't get it yet.
Has anyone seen G Force yet? How about Haunting in Connecticut?
Someone has suggested at FaceBook that our anime is dead.
Boy did that ever open a potboiler of contention! If anime is dead well nobody told Hollywood! DragonBall, Watchmen, GI Joe, Blood:TLV, Transformers2, the list seems endless eh?
How about Tim Burton's 9 and Pandorum eh?
I have now posted up to and including Ch 68 of Wings. I am trying to get Xmas and Wings rewritten and published. Think they will sell?
A note to budding authors- Avoid `author mills' like AuthorAmerica and AuthorHouse. All they want is for you to pay them to publish YOUR works! They guarantee nothing!
Likewise avoid AbsoluteWriters Water Cooler for info and inspiration. They are quite negative and attempt to discourage a struggling author!
I'm on FaceBook now you know. This is getting to be more like a newsletter than a guide. Any suggestions?
I am considering a monthly golf tips column and a recipe file a la animeinfo.org.
I just posted (Files) two Thanksgiving dinner menus. Comments?
Sports fans! I just started a group at Showtime's Beat the Insiders and it's called Saint K's Anime Friends. Come & join me there next NFL season and at FanIQ.com if you like.
By the way my Saints are the highest scoring team in the league with that first time ever SuperBowl victory slaughter of those hapless Colts!.
Sorry there's been no Ch 69 of Wings yet but I've been really busy with blogs, surveys, polls, reviews, guides, posts and now sports NFL groups. Soon I promise you will see Ch 69 and maybe even the end of Wings before Xmas.
Kudos the Divine Wind which is the Saints- They have finally conquered all and won SB XLIV 31 to 17 over the hapless Indy Colts!
Kudos to Drew Brees our MVP of the game and the best damned QB in the NFL- bar none!
MY PET PEEVES: A pet peeve here folks.
Why is it that in most anime the characters either walk (InuYasha) or run (Bleach) everywhere they go? Didn't the Japanese ever hear of transports?
I'd love to see how Kagome could get an SUV through the well!
Cars in the Soul Society's Seretai? They've got wide enough roads there surely?
And Ninjas and Samurai never seem to have carts, chariots or wagons although Samurai rode horses which was why they made the Zanzabatous like the one used by Zanza on Kenshin.
Balsa did ride a stallion for awhile on Morabito and on Code Geas Lelouch's `brother' Rollo does have a motorbike w/ sidecar.
Trains are the transport on FMA although Mustang and Hawkeye did have a car in last week's eppy.
DN and Blood+ have cars, boats, trains, planes and the like. So does GS and Bebop.
Naruto has modern stuff but no transports.
Guess it's to each his own meaning whatever the creators decide.
Latest read was Danny Brown's excellent fifth work The Lost Symbol (soon to be a flick?) which was quite good if a bit wordy. Damned thing took me 3 days to read!
With 2012 coming next month to home video it was quite apropos. Hints: A famous statue stands in front of the CIA HQ building in Langley and is a pivotal part of the storyline. There are a lot of hidden details in Washington DC and Dan Brown's a history buff as well as a secret society expert. He more than proved that in Angels & Demons and then again in the DaVinci Code.
By the way he's got a very entertaining website at www.danbrown.com so if you like tricky logic puzzles and codes by all means visit him there.
Oro else have I read recently? Sax Rohmer's Shadow of FuManchu.
He is the old-fashioned Darth Vader and the leader of a group out to save the Earth from its inhabitants. They are called The Seven. His nemesis is a Scotland Yarder named Sir Denis Nayland-Smith who with his trusty sidekick Dr Petrie pursues Dr FuManchu the same way Holmes and Watson pursued Prof Moriarty all those years.
His latest escapade involves collecting scientists and killing anyone in his way. Looks like the Brits, Yanks, Russians and Aussies will have to band together to defeat Fu and Huan Tsung his sidekick.
Some pair- Fu was at least 90 when Smith met him 60 years ago (Fu has the secret of eternal life. Has he discovered the FMA Stone?) and his pal's in his 80's!
Geriatric? Far from it! Smith's on his own this time unless you count his scientific buddy Carter who is about as useful as Zorro against Darth Vader! What a wimp!
I just began reading Ellery Queen's `The Finishing Stroke' mystery classic. A bit like Lost Symbol- it has a cypher EQ must solve to find the killer and it takes him over 20 years to bring the miscreant to justice! A must read for EQ fans like me!
Here's oro the Keiman wants for Kurisumasu (Christmas) and I doubt if such a thing even exists. A wall clock (battery powered) that plays anime themes every hour on the hour. Now oro themes would it have? Nonstop Angel (DP Flash); Billy in Despair (Death Note); Life is a Boat (Bleach); Real Folk Blues (Bebop); Freckles (Rurouni Kenshin); Guardian of the Spirit (Morabito).
That's half and for the rest how about Sailor Moon, InuYasha, RaveMaster, Gurren Lagann, NOIR's haunting watch melody and another Angels theme? Comments?
Oro anime music would you suggest for an anime wall clock? I'm interested to see if they are in my music collections. I did find some stand up clocks with all kinds of anime characters and most are about $20 USD.
Sorry but I misplaced that data but I'll find it and post it here soon. No Angels clocks. Maybe they have some at rightstuf?
Wanna know what my third ff will be re? Sorry re is Latin for about and is used as an abbreviation for about by many publishing houses and whatnot.
Think this is something? You oughta try and read my class notes from school & college? One guy thought I was using Nostradamus's codes!
I use a little bit of everything when I write as you well know.
Anyway my new and as yet untitled ff will concern the search for the lost Templar treasures- on Neptune or Pluto! Why?
Zoe's from Pluto and I have the Big O contingent under Alan Gabriel's command working with Neptune Command.
The Angels will be back with Angel 1 under Yuri's command, 2 under Kei's and 3 under Flight Kommandant Marlene Angel's control.
Her exec- Suba(ltern) FC/Acting Commodore Kome Sawaguchi- who else! Kei's exec?
Probably Han Solo nai I'll make him Yuri's #1 and Kei will use Mr (Joey) Bishop who will transfer from `Starfleet' to the 3WA when Ellen Rodgers (remember her from John Berringer's `Starcrusher' crew?) joins `Starfleet' and is promoted to Lt Commander status by Admiral Janeway herself!
Reg Barclay is still Kiva Nerese's exec of course.
How does the 3WA and the UG get roped into a treasure hunt and can I keep the Rune Soldier treasure hunters out of this one?
These require more thinking on my part but I believe descendants of both Lord Caervarvon and Howard Carter stumble onto a starmap in a hidden Templar temple- in Iceland!
Could the Templars have created star craft that exceed our own devices today?
Hell yeah- why not? Banking, credit, cheques, letters of credit, credit cards, computers- they invented all that stuff, didn't they?
Oh yeah a new pilot has joined the force- 2nd Lt Legato Bluesummers has been assigned as shuttle pilot for the Michaelangelo on the Angel 2.
Will they find the treasure trove?
Will Dexter Morgan ever get caught?
Will Dr Tenma be vindicated?
Will he kill Johann Liebert?
These are questions you don't ask writers and authors my tomodachis!
Just joined the Clan Nation Dawn Radicals at animeleague.net so y'all come by there and see me, ya hear?
Just ask for the Keiman and if you want to join up with us tell `em the Keiman sent you.
They are into everything anime and I mean everything guys and gals!
Over there my chapters are posted under Literature & Writing and I have some cool welcome posts too. The Guide can be found there under Anime/Manga subforums.
OK a mystery pix for you and here's a hint- she's one of the Angels' crew and under other circumstances she'd be in Kei's brig! Good luck! It's ? the space pirate and smuggler gal- Jon Harlock's niece! ?, Harlock Saga, Galaxy Express 999, Cosmic Warrior Zero were all spawned from Star Blazers and I posted a clip on my FB page for dear Robert of NCRowanCountyanimeclub at YG. The blonde is our mystery gal! 
Happy birthday Robert (24 Feb) and many happy returns! ? pirate/smuggler skipper of the Emerald Queen and niece of Cpt Jonathan Harlock himself.
StarBlazers crew & their starship Here's a clip from the series:

Over to animeonline.net I will be posting everything in an AO Blog 'only' because it is the only place where I have no posting problems according to Cowboy who is our admin/mod over there.
Come and take a gander at it. I'll post a link or two as soon as he sets it up. It'll be like my journal that I have over to animeleague.net under ALJ called 'Keimanzero's Anime Announcements Parlour'.
Feel free to PM any questions to me or Hell just PM me at [email protected] even if you just wanna chat.
Love to hear from ya gang.
Will I ever get that Angelic Demons/Demonic Angels clan started over to ANML? I need 12 members to do it. Let me know if you are interested eh?
Of course it won't be for awhile anyhow. Will we though?
Must try to catch up on my AO Blog Journal and my Journal at animeleague.net.
Angel fans will be thrilled to know I am reposting both Xmas & Wings at DP2 a YG group run by King Nozmo the Great.
Please check it out and join if you can. He just celebrated 11 years online.
Kami bless him and the kind folks at NCRCAC & Anime Clubs Unite at YG even if the gals there at ACU do argue with me over the first anime on American TV being AstroBoy in 1958 (they say '63) and not Lupin III in 1957 (they say '71 BION) and they have a lively conflab going re Yaoi/Yuri (Yaoi is guy and guy while Yuri is girl and girl relationships) in anime!
Me? I could care less. I say let kids watch whatever they want and ditch the V chips & parental codes on TV sets! The US Constitution is for ALL men (and women) and that includes kids! Don't like it? Rewrite the damned thing! Time will tell eh?
Time to go. Next edition will be shorter I promise. Really & truly!!
Sayonara all- K&K the Keiman of Anime.

Meet our own anime babe spokesgal- Neko Olson. animeontv.com has theirs so we have ours too. Neko (kudos to highteckdudu who created her and allows me to use her image and character in my fanfictions) is a shapeshifting nekomata/demon/cat (neko is cat in Japanese)/human/trill. Read all about her in Xmas with the Dirty Pair here in Chatterbox and in Angel Wings at http://www.eons.com/groups/group/anime-a-holics/blogs and look for another stunning work of art from HTDD in an upcoming Xmas chapter here at Chatterbox.
Kudos to the Q&A gang here at GAIA for telling me how to post pix using Photobucket and I forgot that I already had an account there! I’m so used to posting from EONS that I never thought of anyplace else. A big domo arigatou to both xi-kwoo and Mystic Deadman for all their help.

From now on I’ll post this list twice monthly and I’ll keep it under ‘Files’ rather than ‘Messages’ or ‘Blogs’ (at www.Eons.com/groups/group/anime-a-holics/Files)
SYFY’s AniMonday (11 PM to 1 AM ET) is a double eppy of Monster (Doctor running from the law for a crime he did not do- sound familiar?) followed by a duble eppy of Now&Then, Here&There(Kid kendo trainee tries to rescue cute gal but ends up in Terran future fighting for an insane King Hamdo. Army led by dedicated female Abelia. Relax, it’s only 13 eppys long and it’s half over!)
Good news from SYFY folks! AniMonday has been expanded from 9 PM ET to 1 AM ET with the first two hours called Chiller. Chiller will feature unusual and scary anime film masterpieces beginning with Blood:The Last Vampire which spawned the Blood+ saga and a brand new live action film now running in theatres. Looks like 24 August will be Chiller’s debut. If you get SYFY in the SE PA-USA area you are still getting Star Trek-TNG reruns from 9 to 11 ET on Mondays dammit!
Hey WitchBlade the film (with Sarah Pezzini not Masane Amaha- yech!) will hit theatres in a year or so while DragonBall and Death Note are already out there showing. Many more anime based flicks are coming soon and they are filming Bebop with Keanu Reeves in Dave’s role as Spike Steigel. For Jett I’d pick LF- Larry Fishburne or even MF- Morgan Freeman. Denzel Washington or Samuel L Jackson don’t fit the mold. How about Miley Cyrus aka Hannah Montana as ‘Ed’ and Lindsay Lohan as Faye Valentine? (Rafe) Donnelly could be Tommie Lee Jones. Hey I oughta be a Hollywood cast finder eh? Gad, I wonder how much of a muckup they’ll make of the ‘Bebop’, ‘Swordfish II’, ‘Redtail’ and ‘Hammerhead’? I don’t think Ed’s power scooter had a name although we all know the computer she wore on her head with ‘goggle monitors’ was named ‘Tomato’!
In both Code Geas and in FMA some of the characters have a special logo in their eye a la Code Lyoko’s XANA logo in the evil characters’ eyes.
In both Death Note and Bleach there are specific hints as to character origins. In DN Ryuuk tells Light Yagami that any user of the DN book can neither go to Heaven nor Hell after death. So what’s left? Shinigami World meaning that DN book users after death become Shinigami death gods- right? Guess what live TV series is a DN parallel series? Hint- it’s on Showtime.
In Bleach Rukia’s Squad 13 captain (the one that is always sick as a rule) tells a subordinate that Ichigo’s friends are special with unusually high spiritual pressures. He goes on to say that he would not be at all surprised if after death they became soul reapers themselves after they had passed on to the Soul Society. Renji Abari committed a minor faux pas in this week’s eppy. While fighting one of the Arrancar Hollows he told him that by the time Kiske arrived the Arrancar himself would be dead. He apparently forgot that all Hollows are already dead to begin with. For that matter are soul reapers really alive or dead?
Ichigo, Urryuu and Chad have just met three Arrancars and their pet in the Wako Mundo desert on their way to Las Noches (The Nights) which is Aizen’s HQ fortress. Seems not all Arrancars and Hollows are bad because these guys gave ‘em a lift and are guiding them to LN. Live and learn guys. Why are they in WM? Aizen has Orihime of course! (see new post for more)
Bleach pulled a bummer on us and has dropped back 30 eppys to the first time the Vizoreds came to Kara Kura Town so no new stuff for awhile I’m afraid. Try bleachanime.org which has every single eppy on DL. New club Bleach4Ever just started up on FaceBook too.
Discovered why Moribito theme music is so familiar. Group is Arc ‘n ciel who did the GTO theme Driver’s Edge. Early OT and ET for Death Note are done by Nightmare group which is what the Black Knights and Brittanians’ Gundamlike fighting suits are called. Is this the end of Morabito? Sure seemed like it after Saturday’s eppy!
In FMA Ed has learned truth behind the Ishbaal massacre of fifteen years ago while brother Al has just discovered the identity of the Homunculi leader from the snake chimera Marta seconds before she was murdered by the #7 Homunculus- the Fuehrer King Bradley himself. He is Pride- the seventh deadly sin! But- who is his boss? Rose of Lior has become pals with Lira the girl alchemist who used to be with Yochi the state alchemist army lieutenant and she’s now called the Holy Mother but she has gone mute and who’s her baby’s father? The climax seems to be fast approaching and it promises to be exciting so don’t miss it gang! Hohenheim the Elrics dad is back and going after Dante. Al has become a deadly time bomb courtesy of an unknowing Scar and an evil Kimlee the Crimson Alchemist who used the red stones in Ed’s SAA watch to transmute the souls in Scar’s arm into a philosopher’s stone!
Another Bleach note- why did Aizen want Orihime kidnapped? What or who is the sojioque he has stolen which will awaken in the winter? Who is the lad newly born from its power? What does Kiske know which he ain’t telling? Can Ichigo defeat his Espada nemesis? Don’t ya just love that jutsu used by Captain Toshiro Hitagawa- reign over the frosted heavens! then the name of his zambatou? A version of it is used by the evil Dragon Emporer in Mummy 3 when Jet Li turns a field of snow into jagged ice stalagmites. Of course he has mastery over the five Chinese elements- fire, water, earth, wood and metal! If there are only five elements in Chinese philosophy then how can there be an avatar or guardian of the air- Avatar the Last Airbender? Air is not one of those elements! And who’s the looney tunes Espada poor Rangiku is stuck with? Avatar in theatres is NOT Avatar the Last Airbender. Instead Avatar is like a BGR or a Gundam!
Getting into DLs and ULs and burning CDs again. Finally got myself into attaching videos to messages like I do pix now and thanks to Blaine it’s so easy! Check out the fave anime moments/eppys message log here. Several Angelic contributions are there courtesy of yours truly.
Mama’s new read is Helma from the Tros of Samothrace series. Ho hum so far. Tros is getting interesting now- very interesting with refs to English countryside landmarks.
Dan Brown’s Lost Symbol was just excellent! I loved it. A lot of Freemason stuff in it I didn’t know. If any of you are Literary Guild members by all means check out the secret societies books they have at reasonable prices.
I have just added three plums to my anime vids collection: Complete DVD sets of Noir, Gasaraki and Tactics. I already have the complete set of Black Lagoon on DVD and partials on Blood+, Cyborg 009, FMA, Bleach and a few others. I have the first 7 eppys of Morabito and am on the lookout for the set. Bobby has the complete set of Trigun and Mama has the complete set of Gunslinger Girl and Witchblade. Anyone else have any new acquisitions to talk about? If so blog it here or post some messages folks. Bobby has Monster and I have My Santa and I just got Santa Claus Conquers the Martians on DVD.
Now have Bebop movie on DVD and VHS. Just got GS Innocence 2 and Haunting in Connecticutt. Thundercats came at last for Mama. Still have yet to watch DB Evolution film.
SYFY is airing Destination Truth which is like JBs old Digging for the Truth on HC. DT is hosted by Josh Bates or Gates and looks pretty good. Anyone know why SYFY considers wrestling science fiction stuff?
This just in folks! Josh Bernstein has revamped his website and is now using Twitter too. He has a fab group called JBs Group at YG. Dan Brown is on both Twitter and FaceBook now. What do you guys think about my starting an anime recipes file and a golf tips corner either here or at AH1 or somewhere else? Animeinfor.org is the only place I have ever seen an anime recipes section. As for golf tips- what can I say? I love golf- passionately even if I don’t play as much as I used to. Gomen but I just remem,bered this. Kudos to Robert the artist for hire for finding Dan Doh- probably the only anime series about golf itself! Sadly there are no dubs of it just subs. It can be found at VEOH and hulu quite easily. I’ll post a pix or two soon.
Another great show was In Search Of narrated by Leonard ‘Mr Spock’ Nimoy and I recall an eppy of theirs re the Knights Templar and Foucault’s Pendulum. If anyone knows where I can find a copy of those gems on VHS or DVD onegai let me know. A big domo arigatou in advance for your assistance. Gotta really go now and get some blogging done and maybe post Chapter 63 at last.
Just began reposting Xmas w/ the DP at www.gaia.com/forums/chatterbox/christmaswiththedirtypairChapter2 and just posted Chapter 1 (after Ch 50- sorry long story gang) and have now posted Ch 52 as well. Great pix too as I am now illustrating my posts of Xmas over there. Wings will follow as soon as I finish posting it here and at ff.net. ANOL is giving me fits too. Just found out I may get an HP Windows 7 for Kurisumasu. Actually it’s coming ashita and I just emailed Justin for some help in transitioning from Vista to W7.
Has anyone seen G Force yet? How about Haunting in Connecticut? Someone has suggested at FaceBook that our anime is dead. Boy did that ever open a potboiler of contention! If anime is dead well nobody told Hollywood! DragonBall, Watchmen, GI Joe, Blood:TLV, Transformers2, the list seems endless eh?
How about Tim Burton’s 9 and Pandorum eh?
I have now posted up to and including Ch 62 of Wings. I am trying to get Xmas and Wings rewritten and published. Think they will sell? A note to budding authors- Avoid ‘author mills’ like AuthorAmerica and AuthorHouse. All they want is for you to pay them to publish YOUR works! They guarantee nothing! Likewise avoid AbsoluteWriters Water Cooler for info and inspiration. They are quite negative and attempt to discourage a struggling author!
Don’t miss Showtime’s Inside the NFL tonight at 9, 10 or 11 PM ET. Play Beat the Insiders at beattheinsiders.com and join my group there- Saint K’s Anime Friends. I’m on FaceBook now you know. This is getting to be more like a newsletter than a guide. Any suggestions? I am considering a monthly golf tips column and a recipe file a la animeinfo.org. I just posted (Files) two Thanksgiving dinner menus. Comments?
Sports fans! I just started a group at Showtime’s Beat the Insiders and it’s called Saint K’s Anime Friends. Come & join me there and at FanIQ.com if you like. By the way my Saints are the highest scoring team in the league with 120 points in just 3 games. They are at 3-0 and lead their division. Our offense is #3 and our defense is #10. Quite a rise from #19 and #30 last season eh? Drew ‘Divine Wind’ Brees and his ‘4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse’ have outscored Detroit 45-27, Eagles 48-22 and Bills 27-7. In that last game TO never got close to a ball! The ‘Saintly Terrors’ are stepping up at last to complement our offense. Enough re that. Oro do ya think of a recipe file here and/or a golf tips column maybe once a month? Don’t worry because I have tons of recipes and loads of advice for duffers. Sorry there’s been no Ch 63 of Wings yet but I’ve been really busy with blogs, surveys, polls, reviews, guides, posts and now sports NFL groups. Soon I promise you will see Ch 61 and maybe even the end of Wings before Xmas.
A pet peeve here folks. Why is it that in most anime the characters either walk (InuYasha) or run (Bleach) everywhere they go? Didn’t the Japanese ever hear of transports? I’d love to see how Kagome could get an SUV through the well! Cars in the Soul Society’s Seretai? They’ve got wide enough roads there surely? And Ninjas and Samurai never seem to have carts, chariots or wagons although Samurai rode horses which was why they made the Zanzabatous like the one used by Zanza on Kenshin. Balsa did ride a stallion for awhile on Morabito and on Code Geas Lelouch’s ‘brother’ Rollo does have a motorbike w/ sidecar. Trains are the transport on FMA although Mustang and Hawkeye did have a car in last week’s eppy. DN and Blood+ have cars, boats, trains, planes and the like. So does GS and Bebop. Naruto has modern stuff but no transports. Guess it’s to each his own meaning whatever the creators decide.
Latest read was Danny Brown’s excellent fifth work The Lost Symbol (soon to be a flick?) which was quite good if a bit wordy. Damned thing took me 3 days to read! With 2012 in the theatres it was quite apropos. Hints: A famous statue stands in front of the CIA HQ building in Langley and is a pivotal part of the storyline. There are a lot of hidden details in Washington DC and Dan Brown’s a history buff as well as a secret society expert. He more than proved that in Angels & Demons and then again in the DaVinci Code. By the way he’s got a very entertaining website at www.danbrown.com so if you like tricky logic puzzles and codes by all means visit him there.
Oro else have I read recently? Sax Rohmer’s Shadow of FuManchu. He is the old-fashioned Darth Vader and the leader of a group out to save the Earth from its inhabitants. They are called The Seven. His nemesis is a Scotland Yarder named Sir Denis Nayland-Smith who with his trusty sidekick Dr Petrie pursues Dr FuManchu the same way Holmes and Watson pursued Prof Moriarty all those years. His latest escapade involves collecting scientists and killing anyone in his way. Looks like the Brits, Yanks, Russians and Aussies will have to band together to defeat Fu and Huan Tsung his sidekick. Some pair- Fu was at least 90 when Smith met him 60 years ago (Fu has the secret of eternal life. Has he discovered the FMA Stone?) and his pal’s in his 80’s! Geriatric? Far from it! Smith’s on his own this time unless you count his scientific buddy Carter who is about as useful as Zorro against Darth Vader! What a wimp!
I just began reading Ellery Queen’s ‘The Finishing Stroke’ mystery classic. A bit like Lost Symbol- it has a cypher EQ must solve to find the killer and it takes him over 20 years to bring the miscreant to justice! A must read for EQ fans like me!
Here’s oro the Keiman wants for Kurisumasu (Christmas) and I doubt if such a thing even exists. A wall clock (battery powered) that plays anime themes every hour on the hour. Now oro themes would it have? Nonstop Angel (DP Flash); Billy in Despair (Death Note); Life is a Boat (Bleach); Real Folk Blues (Bebop); Freckles (Rurouni Kenshin); Guardian of the Spirit (Morabito). That’s half and for the rest how about Sailor Moon, InuYasha, RaveMaster, Gurren Lagann, NOIR’s haunting watch melody and another Angels theme? Comments?
Oro anime music would you suggest for an anime wall clock? I’m interested to see if they are in my music collections.
Wanna know what my third ff will be re? Sorry re is Latin for about and is used as an abbreviation for about by many publishing houses and whatnot. Think this is something? You oughta try and read my class notes from school & college? One guy thought I was using Nostradamus’s codes! I use a little bit of everything when I write as you well know. Anyway my new and as yet untitled ff will concern the search for the lost Templar treasures- on Neptune or Pluto! Why? Zoe’s from Pluto and I have the Big O contingent under Alan Gabriel’s command working with Neptune Command. The Angels will be back with Angel 1 under Yuri’s command, 2 under Kei’s and 3 under Flight Kommandant Marlene Angel’s control. Her exec- Suba(ltern) FC/Acting Commodore Kome Sawaguchi- who else! Kei’s exec? Probably Han Solo nai I’ll make him Yuri’s #1 and Kei will use Mr (Joey) Bishop who will transfer from ‘Starfleet’ to the 3WA when Ellen Rodgers (remember her from John Berringer’s ‘Starcrusher’ crew?) joins ‘Starfleet’ and is promoted to Lt Commander status by Admiral Janeway herself! Reg Barclay is still Kiva Nerese’s exec of course. How does the 3WA and the UG get roped into a treasure hunt and can I keep the Rune Soldier treasure hunters out of this one? These require more thinking on my part but I believe descendants of both Lord Caervarvon and Howard Carter stumble onto a starmap in a hidden Templar temple- in Iceland! Could the Templars have created star craft that exceed our own devices today? Hell yeah- why not? Banking, credit, cheques, letters of credit, credit cards, computers- they invented all that stuff, didn’t they? Oh yeah a new pilot has joined the force- 2nd Lt Legato Bluesummers has been assigned as shuttle pilot for the Michaelangelo on the Angel 2. Will they find the treasure trove? Will Dexter Morgan ever get caught? Will Dr Tenma be vindicated? Will he kill Johann Liebert? These are questions you don’t ask writers and authors my tomodachis!
Imagine that! Avatar has outgunned Sherlock Holmes and is already well past the quarter million $$ mark so do we have another Transformers 2 perhaps? Avatar took a Golden Globe as did Up and Avatar is still ruling the box office folks!
Just joined the Clan Nation Dawn Radicals at animeleague.net so y’all come by there and see me, ya hear? Just ask for the Keiman and if you want to join up with us tell ‘em the Keiman sent you. They are into everything anime and I mean everything guys and gals! Over there my chapters are posted under Literature & Writing and I have some cool welcome posts too. The Guide can be found there under Anime/Manga subforums.
OK a mystery pix for you and here’s a hint- she’s one of the Angels’ crew and under other circumstances she’d be in Kei’s brig! Good luck!
Time will tell eh? Time to go. Next edition will be shorter I promise. Sayonara all- K&K

3:00 AM to 5:00 AM Death Note (4 eppys)
5:00 AM to 6:00 AM InuYasha (2 eppys once more- yay!)
From now on I’ll post this list twice monthly and I’ll keep it under ‘Files’ rather than ‘Messages’ or ‘Blogs’ (at www.Eons.com/groups/group/anime-a-holics/Files)
The ‘teaser’ beginning of the chapter on blog’s first page and the balance in the comment/reply is how I’ll post my fanfiction chappies from now on unless it’s a short chapter that is.
SYFY’s AniMonday (11 PM to 1 AM ET) is a double eppy of Monster (Doctor running from the law for a crime he did not do- sound familiar?) followed by a duble eppy of Now&Then, Here&There(Kid kendo trainee tries to rescue cute gal but ends up in Terran future fighting for an insane King Hamdo. Army led by dedicated female Abelia. Relax, it’s only 13 eppys long and it’s half over!)
Good news from SYFY folks! AniMonday has been expanded from 9 PM ET to 1 AM ET with the first two hours called Chiller. Chiller will feature unusual and scary anime film masterpieces beginning with Blood:The Last Vampire which spawned the Blood+ saga and a brand new live action film now running in theatres. Looks like 24 August will be Chiller’s debut. If you get SYFY in the SE PA-USA area you are still getting Star Trek-TNG reruns from 9 to 11 ET on Mondays dammit!
Hey WitchBlade the film (with Sarah Pezzini not Masane Amaha- yech!) will hit theatres in a year or so while DragonBall and Death Note are already out there showing. Many more anime based flicks are coming soon and they are filming Bebop with Keanu Reeves in Dave’s role as Spike Steigel. For Jett I’d pick LF- Larry Fishburne or even MF- Morgan Freeman. Denzel Washington or Samuel L Jackson don’t fit the mold. How about Miley Cyrus aka Hannah Montana as ‘Ed’ and Lindsay Lohan as Faye Valentine? (Rafe) Donnelly could be Tommie Lee Jones. Hey I oughta be a Hollywood cast finder eh? Gad, I wonder how much of a muckup they’ll make of the ‘Bebop’, ‘Swordfish II’, ‘Redtail’ and ‘Hammerhead’? I don’t think Ed’s power scooter had a name although we all know the computer she wore on her head with ‘goggle monitors’ was named ‘Tomato’!
In both Code Geas and in FMA some of the characters have a special logo in their eye a la Code Lyoko’s XANA logo in the evil characters’ eyes.
In both Death Note and Bleach there are specific hints as to character origins. In DN Ryuuk tells Light Yagami that any user of the DN book can neither go to Heaven nor Hell after death. So what’s left? Shinigami World meaning that DN book users after death become Shinigami death gods- right? Guess what live TV series is a DN parallel series? Hint- it’s on Showtime.
In Bleach Rukia’s Squad 13 captain (the one that is always sick as a rule) tells a subordinate that Ichigo’s friends are special with unusually high spiritual pressures. He goes on to say that he would not be at all surprised if after death they became soul reapers themselves after they had passed on to the Soul Society. Renji Abari committed a minor faux pas in this week’s eppy. While fighting one of the Arrancar Hollows he told him that by the time Kiske arrived the Arrancar himself would be dead. He apparently forgot that all Hollows are already dead to begin with. For that matter are soul reapers really alive or dead?
Ichigo, Urryuu and Chad have just met three Arrancars and their pet in the Wako Mundo desert on their way to Las Noches (The Nights) which is Aizen’s HQ fortress. Seems not all Arrancars and Hollows are bad because these guys gave ‘em a lift and are guiding them to LN. Live and learn guys. Why are they in WM? Aizen has Orihime of course! (see new post for more)
Bleach pulled a bummer on us and has dropped back 30 eppys to the first time the Vizoreds came to Kara Kura Town so no new stuff for awhile I’m afraid. Try bleachanime.org which has every single eppy on DL. New club Bleach4Ever just started up on FaceBook too.
Discovered why Moribito theme music is so familiar. Group is Arc ‘n ciel who did the GTO theme Driver’s Edge. Early OT and ET for Death Note are done by Nightmare group which is what the Black Knights and Brittanians’ Gundamlike fighting suits are called. Is this the end of Morabito? Sure seemed like it after Saturday’s eppy!
In FMA Ed has learned truth behind the Ishbaal massacre of fifteen years ago while brother Al has just discovered the identity of the Homunculi leader from the snake chimera Marta seconds before she was murdered by the #7 Homunculus- the Fuehrer King Bradley himself. He is Pride- the seventh deadly sin! But- who is his boss? Rose of Lior has become pals with Lira the girl alchemist who used to be with Yochi the state alchemist army lieutenant and she’s now called the Holy Mother but she has gone mute and who’s her baby’s father? The climax seems to be fast approaching and it promises to be exciting so don’t miss it gang! Hohenheim the Elrics dad is back and going after Dante. Al has become a deadly time bomb courtesy of an unknowing Scar and an evil Kimlee the Crimson Alchemist who used the red stones in Ed’s SAA watch to transmute the souls in Scar’s arm into a philosopher’s stone!
Another Bleach note- why did Aizen want Orihime kidnapped? What or who is the sojioque he has stolen which will awaken in the winter? Who is the lad newly born from its power? What does Kiske know which he ain’t telling? Can Ichigo defeat his Espada nemesis? Don’t ya just love that jutsu used by Captain Toshiro Hitagawa- reign over the frosted heavens! then the name of his zambatou? A version of it is used by the evil Dragon Emporer in Mummy 3 when Jet Li turns a field of snow into jagged ice stalagmites. Of course he has mastery over the five Chinese elements- fire, water, earth, wood and metal! If there are only five elements in Chinese philosophy then how can there be an avatar or guardian of the air- Avatar the Last Airbender? Air is not one of those elements! And who’s the looney tunes Espada poor Rangiku is stuck with? Avatar in theatres is NOT Avatar the Last Airbender. Instead Avatar is like a BGR or a Gundam!
Getting into DLs and ULs and burning CDs again. Finally got myself into attaching videos to messages like I do pix now and thanks to Blaine it’s so easy! Check out the fave anime moments/eppys message log here. Several Angelic contributions are there courtesy of yours truly.
Mama’s new read is Helma from the Tros of Samothrace series. Ho hum so far. Tros is getting interesting now- very interesting with refs to English countryside landmarks.
Dan Brown’s Lost Symbol was just excellent! I loved it. A lot of Freemason stuff in it I didn’t know. If any of you are Literary Guild members by all means check out the secret societies books they have at reasonable prices.
I have just added three plums to my anime vids collection: Complete DVD sets of Noir, Gasaraki and Tactics. I already have the complete set of Black Lagoon on DVD and partials on Blood+, Cyborg 009, FMA, Bleach and a few others. I have the first 7 eppys of Morabito and am on the lookout for the set. Bobby has the complete set of Trigun and Mama has the complete set of Gunslinger Girl and Witchblade. Anyone else have any new acquisitions to talk about? If so blog it here or post some messages folks. Bobby has Monster and I have My Santa and I just got Santa Claus Conquers the Martians on DVD.
Now have Bebop movie on DVD and VHS. Just got GS Innocence 2 and Haunting in Connecticutt. Thundercats came at last for Mama. Still have yet to watch DB Evolution film.
SYFY is airing Destination Truth which is like JBs old Digging for the Truth on HC. DT is hosted by Josh Bates or Gates and looks pretty good. Anyone know why SYFY considers wrestling science fiction stuff?
This just in folks! Josh Bernstein has revamped his website and is now using Twitter too. He has a fab group called JBs Group at YG. Dan Brown is on both Twitter and FaceBook now. What do you guys think about my starting an anime recipes file and a golf tips corner either here or at AH1 or somewhere else? Animeinfor.org is the only place I have ever seen an anime recipes section. As for golf tips- what can I say? I love golf- passionately even if I don’t play as much as I used to. Gomen but I just remem,bered this. Kudos to Robert the artist for hire for finding Dan Doh- probably the only anime series about golf itself! Sadly there are no dubs of it just subs. It can be found at VEOH and hulu quite easily. I’ll post a pix or two soon.
Another great show was In Search Of narrated by Leonard ‘Mr Spock’ Nimoy and I recall an eppy of theirs re the Knights Templar and Foucault’s Pendulum. If anyone knows where I can find a copy of those gems on VHS or DVD onegai let me know. A big domo arigatou in advance for your assistance. Gotta really go now and get some blogging done and maybe post Chapter 63 at last.
Just began reposting Xmas w/ the DP at www.gaia.com/forums/chatterbox/christmaswiththedirtypairChapter2 and just posted Chapter 1 (after Ch 50- sorry long story gang) and have now posted Ch 52 as well. Great pix too as I am now illustrating my posts of Xmas over there. Wings will follow as soon as I finish posting it here and at ff.net. ANOL is giving me fits too. Just found out I may get an HP Windows 7 for Kurisumasu. Actually it’s coming ashita and I just emailed Justin for some help in transitioning from Vista to W7.
Has anyone seen G Force yet? How about Haunting in Connecticut? Someone has suggested at FaceBook that our anime is dead. Boy did that ever open a potboiler of contention! If anime is dead well nobody told Hollywood! DragonBall, Watchmen, GI Joe, Blood:TLV, Transformers2, the list seems endless eh?
How about Tim Burton’s 9 and Pandorum eh?
I have now posted up to and including Ch 62 of Wings. I am trying to get Xmas and Wings rewritten and published. Think they will sell? A note to budding authors- Avoid ‘author mills’ like AuthorAmerica and AuthorHouse. All they want is for you to pay them to publish YOUR works! They guarantee nothing! Likewise avoid AbsoluteWriters Water Cooler for info and inspiration. They are quite negative and attempt to discourage a struggling author!
Don’t miss Showtime’s Inside the NFL tonight at 9, 10 or 11 PM ET. Play Beat the Insiders at beattheinsiders.com and join my group there- Saint K’s Anime Friends. I’m on FaceBook now you know. This is getting to be more like a newsletter than a guide. Any suggestions? I am considering a monthly golf tips column and a recipe file a la animeinfo.org. I just posted (Files) two Thanksgiving dinner menus. Comments?
Sports fans! I just started a group at Showtime’s Beat the Insiders and it’s called Saint K’s Anime Friends. Come & join me there and at FanIQ.com if you like. By the way my Saints are the highest scoring team in the league with 120 points in just 3 games. They are at 3-0 and lead their division. Our offense is #3 and our defense is #10. Quite a rise from #19 and #30 last season eh? Drew ‘Divine Wind’ Brees and his ‘4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse’ have outscored Detroit 45-27, Eagles 48-22 and Bills 27-7. In that last game TO never got close to a ball! The ‘Saintly Terrors’ are stepping up at last to complement our offense. Enough re that. Oro do ya think of a recipe file here and/or a golf tips column maybe once a month? Don’t worry because I have tons of recipes and loads of advice for duffers. Sorry there’s been no Ch 63 of Wings yet but I’ve been really busy with blogs, surveys, polls, reviews, guides, posts and now sports NFL groups. Soon I promise you will see Ch 61 and maybe even the end of Wings before Xmas.
A pet peeve here folks. Why is it that in most anime the characters either walk (InuYasha) or run (Bleach) everywhere they go? Didn’t the Japanese ever hear of transports? I’d love to see how Kagome could get an SUV through the well! Cars in the Soul Society’s Seretai? They’ve got wide enough roads there surely? And Ninjas and Samurai never seem to have carts, chariots or wagons although Samurai rode horses which was why they made the Zanzabatous like the one used by Zanza on Kenshin. Balsa did ride a stallion for awhile on Morabito and on Code Geas Lelouch’s ‘brother’ Rollo does have a motorbike w/ sidecar. Trains are the transport on FMA although Mustang and Hawkeye did have a car in last week’s eppy. DN and Blood+ have cars, boats, trains, planes and the like. So does GS and Bebop. Naruto has modern stuff but no transports. Guess it’s to each his own meaning whatever the creators decide.
Latest read was Danny Brown’s excellent fifth work The Lost Symbol (soon to be a flick?) which was quite good if a bit wordy. Damned thing took me 3 days to read! With 2012 in the theatres it was quite apropos. Hints: A famous statue stands in front of the CIA HQ building in Langley and is a pivotal part of the storyline. There are a lot of hidden details in Washington DC and Dan Brown’s a history buff as well as a secret society expert. He more than proved that in Angels & Demons and then again in the DaVinci Code. By the way he’s got a very entertaining website at www.danbrown.com so if you like tricky logic puzzles and codes by all means visit him there.
Oro else have I read recently? Sax Rohmer’s Shadow of FuManchu. He is the old-fashioned Darth Vader and the leader of a group out to save the Earth from its inhabitants. They are called The Seven. His nemesis is a Scotland Yarder named Sir Denis Nayland-Smith who with his trusty sidekick Dr Petrie pursues Dr FuManchu the same way Holmes and Watson pursued Prof Moriarty all those years. His latest escapade involves collecting scientists and killing anyone in his way. Looks like the Brits, Yanks, Russians and Aussies will have to band together to defeat Fu and Huan Tsung his sidekick. Some pair- Fu was at least 90 when Smith met him 60 years ago (Fu has the secret of eternal life. Has he discovered the FMA Stone?) and his pal’s in his 80’s! Geriatric? Far from it! Smith’s on his own this time unless you count his scientific buddy Carter who is about as useful as Zorro against Darth Vader! What a wimp!
I just began reading Ellery Queen’s ‘The Finishing Stroke’ mystery classic. A bit like Lost Symbol- it has a cypher EQ must solve to find the killer and it takes him over 20 years to bring the miscreant to justice! A must read for EQ fans like me!
Here’s oro the Keiman wants for Kurisumasu (Christmas) and I doubt if such a thing even exists. A wall clock (battery powered) that plays anime themes every hour on the hour. Now oro themes would it have? Nonstop Angel (DP Flash); Billy in Despair (Death Note); Life is a Boat (Bleach); Real Folk Blues (Bebop); Freckles (Rurouni Kenshin); Guardian of the Spirit (Morabito). That’s half and for the rest how about Sailor Moon, InuYasha, RaveMaster, Gurren Lagann, NOIR’s haunting watch melody and another Angels theme? Comments?
Oro anime music would you suggest for an anime wall clock? I’m interested to see if they are in my music collections.
Wanna know what my third ff will be re? Sorry re is Latin for about and is used as an abbreviation for about by many publishing houses and whatnot. Think this is something? You oughta try and read my class notes from school & college? One guy thought I was using Nostradamus’s codes! I use a little bit of everything when I write as you well know. Anyway my new and as yet untitled ff will concern the search for the lost Templar treasures- on Neptune or Pluto! Why? Zoe’s from Pluto and I have the Big O contingent under Alan Gabriel’s command working with Neptune Command. The Angels will be back with Angel 1 under Yuri’s command, 2 under Kei’s and 3 under Flight Kommandant Marlene Angel’s control. Her exec- Suba(ltern) FC/Acting Commodore Kome Sawaguchi- who else! Kei’s exec? Probably Han Solo nai I’ll make him Yuri’s #1 and Kei will use Mr (Joey) Bishop who will transfer from ‘Starfleet’ to the 3WA when Ellen Rodgers (remember her from John Berringer’s ‘Starcrusher’ crew?) joins ‘Starfleet’ and is promoted to Lt Commander status by Admiral Janeway herself! Reg Barclay is still Kiva Nerese’s exec of course. How does the 3WA and the UG get roped into a treasure hunt and can I keep the Rune Soldier treasure hunters out of this one? These require more thinking on my part but I believe descendants of both Lord Caervarvon and Howard Carter stumble onto a starmap in a hidden Templar temple- in Iceland! Could the Templars have created star craft that exceed our own devices today? Hell yeah- why not? Banking, credit, cheques, letters of credit, credit cards, computers- they invented all that stuff, didn’t they? Oh yeah a new pilot has joined the force- 2nd Lt Legato Bluesummers has been assigned as shuttle pilot for the Michaelangelo on the Angel 2. Will they find the treasure trove? Will Dexter Morgan ever get caught? Will Dr Tenma be vindicated? Will he kill Johann Liebert? These are questions you don’t ask writers and authors my tomodachis!
Imagine that! Avatar has outgunned Sherlock Holmes and is already well past the quarter million $$ mark so do we have another Transformers 2 perhaps?
Time will tell eh? Time to go. Next edition will be shorter I promise. Sayonara all- K&K
Graphic novel Angels with Faye Valentine, Mugghi and Ein
Vash the Stampede from Gunsmoke is taking dead aim on you!
Angel Wings Ch 62 'Dead Air Time'/'Mt. Mayhem'
AW Ch 62
Wow!Mar's been injured and now that worst of all combat weapons is almost in Zorin's cronies' hands- Gundams! Almost as terrifying as the 'God Guns' or the Angels' new toy- the r-- whoops! I almost let the neko outta the sack folks! This chapter will put two close tomos at loggerheads with each other and nai it ain't Vacuumhead and Firebrand either! Some old tomos returned and the Boss decides to head for Onsokamaru! Who's in sick bay and how did she end up there? Why is Yuri Donovan furious? Who are the newbies? Did the truckers succeed?
ANGEL WINGS
DISCLAIMER: OK Saiya darlin’, it’s all yours. First I wanna thank Mr T for the use of his Angels and stuff. Then I wanna thank everyone else who has been allowing us to use their creations here like Thom Beers for the use of his ice road truckers Hugh, Drew, Rick, Eric, Alex and Bear. I took the liberty of naming the 3WA academy in Furool City on Shimougou after Mr Haruka Takachiho in honour of his creations- the Angels. How was that, Yuri? Great, kiddo. Oh hai it sure was, Kei! Now since we left ya up in the air last time let’s get to Ch 62 without any further meandering, shall we? Why is Zack Zero back and oro does he want with Suba Marina Oki? Can Mandy keep her big mouth shut? A hint re the titles- Aw do ya expect me to spoil it for ya? Oro does this all mean? We’ll find out momentarily gang. The Boss Red Marshall’s on the warpath again! Here ’tis:-
CHAPTER 62
'Dead Air Time' or 'Mountain Mayhem'
(image)
"Oh hullo there, Ryuuk. Thought it was you, pal. Oro (What) are you doing up here?" asked Gene, tossing Ryuuk an apple which he crunched greedily.
"Light's asleep and I'm bored. Wanna play some vid games or watch a Terran holovid with me, Captain?" asked the nightmare Shinigami hopefully.
"Might as well seeing as we're on 'George' anyway." replied Gene.
"Yeah, sounds good to me. Let's watch 'Dark Star' this time. I love watching Tom (Skerritt) talking to those bombs." drawled Han Solo whom Gene had thought asleep in his co-pilot's chair.
Before long the trio was ensconced in watching that ancient Terran holovid from the late 20th Century.
Meanwhile Ichigo and Fullmetal had drawn a double shift night patrol detail. Ed's younger brother Alphonse Elric had opted to tag along to keep his older brother out of mischief. After all Al felt responsible for his brother's punishment. 'Cowgirl' Ed, Moonie and her four scouts had been using Al's armoured 'body' for a drum. Fullmetal had smacked one of the scouts and when Moonie retaliated Ichigo had floored her. All of this had taken place in the rec room in full view of Wing Commander Yuri Donovan. Although a double guard shift was a severe punishment both of them were lucky that the Boss had been on the bridge during that little fiasco or it would have meant the brig for sure for the pair of 'em.
"It was your own fault, brother. You and Icchi didn't have to hit anybody. Reisie and her friends weren't hurting me at all. They were just playing me like a drum. What do you think Granny would say if she knew you were going around hitting little kids?" admonished Al.
"Little? That 'cowgirl' and Moonie are both a lot bigger than your brother, Alphonse! Come to think of it so are Rei and Mina. Mako and Ami aren't far behind them either. Dont forget, Al. We were protecting you!" yelled the soul reaper guy. Ed bristled and punched Ichigo's shoulder.
"Who the Hell are you calling a tiny little shrimp, Kurosaki!" he yelled. Al grabbed his brother.
"Brother! Stop that right now. Nobody called you anything. Leave Icchi alone!" scolded the suit of empty armour.
"OK! OK! You're always forgetting, Al that you're the 'Stone' dammit! What happens if one of those kids accidentally activates you? Have you thought of that, brother? We'd all end up in Never never Land. Aw I'm hungry. Let's eat, reaper boy." said Fullmetal.
"Let's wait until we finish our rounds on this level (4). There's a rep unit at the stern end of the last hallway." replied Ichigo. Ed nodded and they both double timed to catch up with Al.
Back in the suite that she shared with 'Stun Gun' Millie Thompson, 'Derringer' Merrill Stryfe and the quad of 'WOOHP' girls Neko Olson was trying (unsuccessfully) to place a relay call to a tomo (friend) of hers aboard the 'Shalimar' which was supposedly docked near 'Remus'. Since the 'Angel' was well within 'Daedalus's vapor cloud the nekomata trill got no reply. Neko frowned and tried on her vidcell unit. Nothing. She tried again. No such luck.
"Crap! I wonder who the Hell Dorothy's yakking with at three in the bloody morning! I'll try Roger instead." she said, however, after five more attempts she threw the vidcell at the bunk. Luckily it missed the wall and dropped on the mattress. Disgusted, Neko tossed off her kimono and crashed onto her bunk.
"Hey! 'Pinky' (Kome Sawaguchi the strawberry blonde teen was the ship's comm officer) said if we broke another vidcell she wasn't giving us any more! Be careful, 'Kitty Kat'!" yelled Merrill from her own bunk.
"Shoot! I can't even reach Tony Rome on 'Kagura' and he promised me a date after we get back to the Academy!" sulked Mandy. She wasn't really a 'WOOHP' spygirl although she did hail from the LA Valley area on Terran California. When the spies had been recalled to duty both Mandy and their boss Jerry Lewis had tagged along. Even 'Gloria' their personal 'CC' program had come aboard with them.
"Maybe you texted in the wrong code?" suggested Clover sweetly.
"I texted the right code, Blondie." snapped Mandy.
"Funny. I can't raise anyone on 'Dantoonine' and that's only a day from here." said Alex.
"Do you realize that a 'day' here means about 200 lightyears, Al?" giggled Sammy. She was the only one of them still wearing her flight suit. At midnight she had to spell the scanning officer upstairs. Besides Sammy wasn't the least bit sleepy. Being the electronics whiz of the team Sammy knew it could be the relay lines so she took Alex's vidcell apart and tweaked it a bit. She tossed it back to the brunette.
"Try it now, Al. See if you can raise 'Minerva'. Text Lalaru Davies. Remember we met her on 'Gallifrey' that time. Her code's 'LDD1' I think." said the redheaded spygirl.
Alex texted but got no reply. She tried seven more times then gave up.
"Maybe the main wireboxy thingamajig's screwed up. Go fix it, Sammy." ordered Mandy.
"Maybe you used up all your minutes, dumbbell." giggled the blonde spy.
"What minutes?" asked Millie.
"Clover's just being an asshole, Fatass." explained Mandy.
"Don't call Millie that, Mandy! Unless you want a belt in the chops!" said Merrill. Sammy pulled a flight jacket on over her jumpsuit.
"C'mon Alex. Throw something on over your jammies and we'll check the main relay controls on the first level. I won't get any peace until these vidcells are working again." said Sammy.
"OK. Just a sec." replied Alex who was yanking on jeans and a sweatshirt over her pajamas. She slipped on boots and grabbed her flight jacket and sonic screwdriver which Doctor 2 had given to her for Kurisumasu (Christmas) last year. Sammy hefted a tool box and tossed two pair of gloves to Alex.
"You carry those, Al. Ready?" asked Sammy and Alex zipped up her jacket and nodded. Both girls headed for the lift banks.
Dorothy Wainwright was a pert and cute android robot and she had appointed herself Roger Smith's maid whether he liked it or not. When Roger and his megadeuce giant robot 'Big O' were ordered into battle ('Paradigm City' fell under both 'UG', 'GC' and 3WA jurisdiction) Dorothy naturally tagged along with them. Roger's butler Norman had opted to stay behind and take care of the Smith mansion. Roger's old buddy Dan Dastun who had once been a chief on the 'PC Military Police Force' was now a high ranking officer, a commodore, of 'KASP' and he resided on 'Kagura'. Dan's military unit was under 'ISSP' command and was already headed for 'Romulus' at full speed.
Back aboard the 'Angel' Merrill glanced over at her roommie Neko and grimaced. "So you still can't raise anybody huh?" she said and Neko nodded. The trill was just about to throw her vidcell and then thought better of it and shoved it under her pillow instead.
Millie sat up from the holomag she's been reading on her PDO and popped half a dozen chocolate truffles into her mouth.
"Mr Gene said we wouldn't be able to use our vidcells until tomorrow night. Something about a 'Dead Loss Niblick' he said." explained Millie, cramming even more candy into her mouth.
"Millie! How many times have I told you not to talk with your mouth full? That stuff's gonna make you fat, girl!" replied Merrill. Neko had a strange look on her kitten-like face.
"Dead Loss Niblick? Oh Christ no! Not 'Daedalus Nebulae'! Is that oro (what) Captain Star said, Millie?" asked a stunned nekomata catgirl. Millie nodded while Merrill frowned and lit a cigarillo.
"Why? What in the Hell's so damned special about that place?" demanded the pert Insurance girl from Gunsmoke. Neko stared at her.
"For starters it explains why the Hell our vidcells are all dead. It's a gas cloud between 'Minerva' and 'Stegeros', one of 'Remus's moons. If we're real lucky we'll come out of it somewhere near 'Stegeros' and be about two hours away from 'Remus' by this time tomorrow night or we could be on the other side of the bloody galaxy. It all depends on which way the solar winds are blowing. It all means--" explained Neko.
"That the Boss is taking another damned shortcut." finished Merrill. The small brunette stuck her hand in the chocolates' box and pulled it out again- empty. "Dammit Millie! That's the third damned box tonight! Lay off the sweets for awhile!" stormed Merrill.
"It's the fourth box but who's counting?" giggled Neko. Merrill threw the empty box down the recycle chute.
"Truffles. Chocolate. Assorted. Box. Large." said Merrill and the replicator spewed out more candy.
"Take it easy or you'll lose your trim girlish figure, Merrill." warned Clover who was sipping a strawberry milkshake.
All over the mammoth starship vidcells were misbehaving. Finally Solo announced the reason why over the PA system. Soon thereafter 'CC' reported an overload of his memory banks in trying to keep up with the unusually heavy demand for holovids- mostly ancient Terran films and TV shows. Meanwhile Alex and Sammy had arrived at the main surface level and found the main grid relay control systems boxes. After perusing the conglomeration of relays and wiring for ten minutes Sammy pronounced them fine and dandy and admitted she had no idea why their comm equipment wasn't working. Without warning a heavy hand fell on each girl's shoulder and they were unceremoniously yanked to their feet.
"Ach Tung! Vatt are you zwei maedchen (two girls) doing down here? Vhy don't you go back upstairs und play mitt your toys? Gott im Himmel! (God in Heaven!) Haf you two nitvits taken anything apart? (The 'Green Baron' Fritz von Dekker shook them harshly and they shook their heads) You are lucky I found you und not der gross (big) doggie demon! Now get back to your rooms und play paper dolls or something safe!" yelled the Baron.
"We were just trying to fix the phones, Herr Fritz, sir!" snapped Alex whose pajamas were showing over her hiphugger jeans. He grinned and tapped a few keys on his PDO and held it out for them to see.
"See that planet there? That is 'Kagura' and that one is 'Remus' where ve are going. Der big cloud in between them is vhere ve are now and das ist vhy der communicators don't vork. It blocks der signals. Herr Solo just told us over those. (He pointed at where a PA squawkbox should have been and realized there were none on this main level because as a rule it was never used for anything. Then he smiled.) OK. Now I get it. No squawkboxes down here so you didn't hear the announcement. Can I trust you to go back to your quarters, liebchen (children)?" said the Baron and he released them. They nodded, saluted and dashed for the lift banks.
"Ach! To be a young vhippersnapper again. If only--" mused Fritz and he continued his rounds.
"Did you hear the news, guys? We got no vidcells until tomorrow night darn it!" sulked Mandy.
"Yeah. We heard. We ran into the old 'Iron Pilot' himself. I thought he was gonna turn us over to InuYasha but he let us go finally. I'm going to bed." replied Alex and she threw off jackets, boots, jeans and sweatshirt. Then she crashed onto her bunk. Sammy explained things to them and then she too sought the Land of Nod. Eventually all of the rest drifted off to sleep and peace claimed part of the 'Angel'.
Thrice Gene was tempted to forego 'George' and change course but each time Han's advice was the same. "Leave well enough alone, old buddy."
The next day seemed endless. Mealtimes were still as noisy as ever and the dining hall was packed for the dinner hour at 1700 (5 PM).
The evening bridge crew had the bridge under vampire control with Seras Victoria piloting the ship, Walter at the helm as navvie, Sir Integra Winifred van Helsing as comm officer and Alucard co-piloting for Vicky.
Integra lit a cigar and frowned at Walter. "What good's a comm officer if there's no communications?" she complained.
"About as much good as a pilot who cannot steer the damned ship. We're stuck on autopilot dammit!" fumed 'Police Girl' Vicky who was chain-smoking cigarettes like crazy.
"Those things will kill you one day, 'Police Girl'." joked Alucard.
"Ha ha. Very funny." replied Vicky who, like her master Alucard, was already dead, well, undead anyway.
Several levels below them on Sublevel 2 the 'Ice Road Brigade' had asked Nyssa and Kouga to teach them how to operate skysleds and skycycles. Kouga had agreed immediately but it had taken several blueberry milkshakes (liberally laced with Romulan Ale) before Nyssa had consented.
"Who's gonna go first?" asked the wolf.
"Me!" chorused Drew and Rick.
"OK. I'll take Rick. Nyssa, you can have Drew." he replied, shoving Rick inside 'Everest' while Drew helped a slightly tipsy Trakken girl into 'Matterhorn' and took his seat at the controls.
"Everybody buckle up and strap in." ordered Kouga.
"Wave your hand across the console." he instructed and a dubious Rick and Drew complied. The roar of the sleds' mighty engines was deafening in the confined space.
"Pull back on the throttle, that thing in front of you, Mr Drew." slurred Nyssa. The sled rose several feet above the deck.
Rick followed suit and Kouga pointed to the speed bar which was part of the steering arm.
Nyssa placed Drew's right hand over the 'Matterhorn's speed bar.
"Press down on the bar but not too--" said the youkai as the 'Everest' shot forward at almost 200 kph or 175 miles per hour!
"Lean your steering arm hard left-- now!" yelped Kouga as Rick barely managed to avoid crashing headfirst into the airlock portals.
Drew's sled was spinning wildly out of control after Nyssa had passed out and fell into his arms. Drew was panic stricken so he simply let go of the arm and the throttle causing the 'Matterhorn' to drop to the ground like a pole-axed steer.
Miraculously Rick suddenly got the hang of steering arm, throttle and speed bar. He was zipping around the walls and caterwauling at the top of his lungs when--
"Vatt der Sam Hell ist going on down here!" howled Fritz von Dekker who had only just finished dealing with two miscreant kids two flights up. The 'Green Baron' had been dispatched to check out the flashing amber lights from Sublevel 2.
"See oro (what) the Hell's going on down in the bays, Fritz!" were the orders trilled to him from InuYasha a few moments ago. The big hanyou was the new security chief.
"Ja sure, Herr Doggie Boy. Probably just a glitch in der systems of Mr 'CC' ist all it vill turn out to be." had been von Dekker's retort.
"Where's that mangy wolf, Kikyo?" and 'How the Hell should I know? He's your tomo (friend), not mine!" had filtered through Fritz's comlink before it had gone dead. Security HQ was Level 7 near Yuri's office.
Fritz reholstered his blaster and yanked Eric and Bear from beneath a shuttlecraft where they had both dove for cover from the runaway skysleds.
"Joyriding vere ve, yentlemen?" roared the 'Green Baron' in a voice of thunder.

CHAPTER 61 (image)
'Into the Labyrinthe' or 'Hail From the Chief'
Junpei was busily waxing Mi-Ke the Elf Hunters' mammoth M-17 tank while Celsia dozed beside Peachy on a blanket. Peach was the team's pet panda who was a bit on the strange side. He crapped out rolls of toilet paper! Celsia was an Elfin queen who was accidentally trapped in the form of an adorable little puppy inu (dog). Junpei's other two companions were Ari and Ryosko. Currently both of them were assigned elsewhere. Ari was serving as the ship's transporter officer and Ryosko (Rees-ko) was in training learning the ropes of a tank gunner warrior back at Takachiho Academy on Shimougou. When Elie got there and innocently told Junpei that she had a 'spell fragment form ElfLand for him' there was nobody at all on hand to stop him from searching for it. Poor Elie!
You see in order for Junpei, Ari and Ryosko to return from ElfLand to Terran Japan and in order for Celsia to regain her human form they first had to collect all the 'spell fragments' of an ancient Elfin spell for Celsia to use. The problem was that a portion of this spell (a spell fragment) was printed or tattooed on certain female elves. The only way to find out if an elf maiden was in fact marked with a fragment was to ahem 'disrobe' the hapless victim! In ElfLand it was pretty much old hat it being the law there to allow these searches. Why? If the spell wasn't performed soon both Terra and ElfLand would meld together with disastrous results! Besides which many of the elfin maids were more than ready to give their all for the Cause! Of course the trio of Hunters had long ago decided to remain in ElfLand anyway there being nothing back on Terra for them. Junpei was unemployed, Ari was a struggling actress and Ryosko was a disgruntled schoolgirl.
Now Junpei was being trained as a 3WA space tech engineer, Ryosko was an officer in training and Ari was slated to attend the Academy and become an administrative assistant to Chief Garner! To make a long story short when Junpei had heard Elie's message he merely did oro (what) comes naturally and--
THWACK! "You big dumbass ox! Didn't you notice that I'm not an elf for Kami's (God's) sake? As you can see I am not tattooed with any spell fragments! (Elie yanked her fuku (clothing or outfit) away from the big galoot whose right cheek was quite red where Elie'd belted him) I'm going behind that thing (Mi-Ke) to get dressed! I'd appreciate it if you didn't peek! If you do I'll beat the crap outta you!" screamed a very irate Elie who was turning crimson and was totally au natural!
Junpei sulked and rubbed his jaw. "Sorry honey but you said you had a 'spell fragment' for me so I searched you for it, that's all. So it's really your own damned fault! Hey! You forgot these, love." explained the big guy and he strolled behind the tank to return Elie's very brief mini bikini briefs to her.
WHAM! "Pervert! Don't you understand English dammit? Get the Hell outta here!" yelled Elie.
Junpei rubbed the 'mouse' on his left aizu (eye) and cursed. "Some people, boyo! Try to do 'em a favour and oro (what) do you get? Grief dammit! OW!" he yelped.
"Well no real harm done, I suppose." she said sheepishly. Now that she was clad Elie was no longer angry with the big dude who was sort of cute. "Sorry for hitting you, sir but when that nice Mr Hawking told me what to say to you--" she began explaining.
"Jimbo sent you down here? Wait'll I tell Gene (Starwind was Hawking's boss) about this! Hawkie's gonna get what's coming to him, boyo! Hey! Why the Hell DID you come down here anyway? Nobody ever visits us down here in the boondocks as a rule so why did Jimbo send you down here?" asked a curious circus strong man who had found an ice holo pack and was holding it to his swelling 'mouse' bruise.
Elie quickly explained and Junpei pointed to his replicator. "You idiot broad! Of course gambling aboard ship's allowed but hardly anyone ever gambles. Oro's (What's) the point when we can rep up anything we need or want with that thing. Aboard the 'Angel' everything else is free so we can drink, smoke, play games, read holos, watch vids, play on the holodecks, anything. But if you like I can rep up cards, slots, roulette, horse racing, whatever you want, kid. Just name it, Miss Elie." explained the elf hunter.
By now all she wanted to do was to belt that Hawking creep right in the chops in front of all his pals but Miss Vincent (Rally the 'Cat') had warned them that any kind of trouble at all would land the perp or perps in the ship's brig. "Holodecks? Exactly what and where are they, sir?" she asked sweetly. Junpei grinned and explained. Then he sent her up to Level 8 where she spent a relaxing and quite enjoyable afternoon breaking the bank in Monte Carlo. She felt a tad guilty that Haru couldn't be here with her but it was his own fault. She and Griffy had warned him about wandering around this monstrosity in the wee hours of the night but did he listen? No! Although how it was that Musicaa wasn't caught as well was beyond the Hellcat's understanding. Poor Rave Master- scrubbing pots and pans like a scullery maid. She giggled at the thought of Haru Glory in an apron taking orders from a woman!
Unknown to Elie the Rave Master had been released from KP captivity earlier that day and even now he was practicing his kenjutsu ryuu (sword fighting style) in the holodeck room next door to hers. The big dragon dragoon warrior had cheerfully replaced the kid in the galley. He liked that jungle gal Leila and hoped to ask her out for a drink and maybe even dinner later in the week. Musicaa was chatting up Marlene far above him in the 'star room' (observation deck lounge) with a thought towards 'picking up' the svelte blonde Brigadier! Fat chance! Griff and Ruby were tending bar while little Pluu (Haru's carrot-nosed 'dog') was merrily frisking about and playing up on the command deck to most of the flight crew's delight and to the annoyance of the temporary exec Light Yagami. Ryuuk was pushing his ethereal hand through the small pet and out again until Light shoved the white ball of fluff into the nav room and shut the door.
Belowdecks Junpei had had a change of heart over getting Jimbo into hot water (Kami! What if the Boss Lady were to find out?) and had settled down to a quiet game of pool in the rec room with Lord Ivy and Becky.
Right after dinner Winry Rockabelle was sent to 'fetch the Boss' to take a very important comm relay call. It was from one of those 'G Twins'- either Andy Gooley or Chuck Garner, probably Uncle Charlie or Ojou wouldn't have had such a kitten. Winry timidly tapped on the commander's portal. "Enter." came the gruff growl from within. Although only a few years older than her Winry was sometimes quite terrified of this redheaded Hellcat. She hesitaed until-- "I said come in dammit!" repeated the gruff voice. Winry cringed. Nobody EVER ignored the Boss three times! She steeled herself and slid the door aside. She stepped into Kei's parlour feeling more than ever like the proverbial fly in the spider's den!
"A very important call for you on the bridge, mum." said the blonde shakily. Kei yawned.
"OK. Thanks, Win. Tell YamKumi (Ojou the Terran Yakuzza princess was filling in for Kome as comm officer) I'll take it here. (She pointed to a bank of vidscreens across the room) Have her relay it to vidscreen #3." ordered the Boss, however, Winry shook here head.
"Sorry, Auntie Boss. No can do, mum. It's a 'Tach 9' relay and Auntie Ojou said it was an 'FYEO' (For Your Eyes Only) call. You have to take it on the bridge. It's probably Mr Garner, mum." explained the blonde automail mechanic. The Boss sighed and slipped a Mark XIII ion cannon into her kimono's pocket. "Lead on Spirit." she joked only Winry didn't get the drift so Kei shrugged and pointed to the door. She followed Winry up to the bridge where Winry made a bee line for the nav room. Ojou shoved a vidmike into Kei's outstretched palm.
"Everybody out. Clear the bridge. This is an 'FYEO' relay and those are my standing orders. This shouldn't take long so don't wander too far. Wait in my ready room if you wanna." said the Red Marshall.
"Hullo Charlie. Oro's (What's) up, boyo?" she trilled and stared into the familiar sourpuss visage of Territorial Sector Chief Charles Augustus Garner who Kome called the 'Big Cheese'. Garner was livid with anger.
"Deirdre! Where the Sam Hell are you? Why aren't you guys at 'Remus' dammit? Answer me, Katie!" he howled.
Kei flared right back at him. The Boss never backed down from anyone and she gave as good as she got no matter who the Hell it was!
"Where the Hell am I? You should know that, me old boyo! You sent Zach along to babysit us, didn't you? (As a matter of fact he hadn't. He had not requested Zach Zero's 'Liberator' specifically when he'd asked the 'GC' to provide an escort for the 'Angel'.) As you already know we are half a solar week out from 'Remus' and we've got four Gundams aboard. We just lifted off from 'Onsokamaru' and if you don't belive me then ask John Raven dammit!" trilled a defiant and angry Red Marshall. Garner sighed and swallowed a 'Hydroxylein' tablet. He washed it down with a healthy swig of 'Galusol' before lighting a cigarette.
"OK I apologize, Deirdre. However, I was NOT informed of your detour and I didn't tell Zach to keep tabs on you. I didn't even know Zero was even with the 'Galactic Command' for Kami's (God's) sake. So Zero IS there? (Kei nodded) We did ask 'GC' to lend us an escort for you guys but we didn't even know Zach had signed up with them. Well, you get yourselves to 'Remus' just as soon as you possibly can and rendezvous with the 'Shalimar'. That's the contribution from the 'Neptune Regiment'. Her skipper's an Alan Gabriel (Kei raised her aizu (eye) brows but remained silent) Roger Smith and his 'Big O' megadeuce are aboard as well so with your four Gundams and 'MEGAS' (another big giant robot) at our disposal (Kei opened her mouth but said nothing and closed it again) we'll have half a dozen of those metal monsters and--" explained Charlie before Kei did say something.
"Oro (What) the Hell! Where'd you find 'MEGAS' and how'd you blackmail Kiva and Coop into helping us out?" demanded the Boss.
"We found 'MEGAS' on 'Antares 8' and we didn't have to 'blackmail' Coop or Kiva into helping us. All we had to do was to promises them not to saddle them with those two 'Jersey Jerks' of yours until after the fighting was all over." answered Garner. Kei grimaced and winced.
"Gee Charlie, thanks ever so much for leaving me stuck with 'em. You're all heart." replied a sarcastic tro-con. Garner ignored the comment.
"By the way just what did you find to keep them occupied while they're aboard? Kiva says they're useless." asked the chief. Kei smirked.
"I keep 'em in the galleys. Turns out they're both great cooks. However, I'll still be glad to be rid of 'em, Chuck." replied the Boss.
"OK. You be sure and relay me when you get to 'Remus' and make contact with Gabriel and Smith. Good luck, kiddo. Sayonara." said Charlie Garner, abruptly blanking his vidscreen.
"I'll be sure and do that, Chuck. Bye." replied Kei, blanking her own vidscreen. She turned as Han peeked around the corner of the bridge door.
"All clear? OK for us to come back in now, Boss?" he asked. Kei waved him and the others back onto the bridge.
"We still headed for 'Remus'?" she demanded.
"Sure are. A few more days, say five. Why?" said Gene Starwind.
"You got three, Cap. It is imperative that we get there with all the speed we can muster, that's why. Try to get a relay through to Alan Gabriel on the 'Shalimar' of the 'Neptune Regiment' and trill me when you raise them. We're meeting up with them at 'Remus'. I'll be on the 'star deck' if you need me. Later." said Kei and she headed for the gantryway stairs. She had a Helluva lot of crap to mull over so she decided to walk down the two flights to Level 7. Voices were coming from the 'star room' when Kei got there.
"And then there was the time I singlehandedly defeated all six of the palace guardians, my dear Miss Angel. There I was--" said Musicaa as the redhead entered the 'star room'.
"Singlehandedly? The way I heard the story from Leth was that Haru, Elie, Griff, Pluu and a brother-sister duo helped you out when you guy admonished those palace creeps." chuckled the Boss.
"How ya feeling, Blondie?" she added and lit up a cheroot. Mar managed a wan smile.
"Much much better, Boss! In fact I think I should return to duty immediately, don't you?" replied the blonde Brigadier eagerly. Kei shook her head and mouthed the word 'nai' (no).
"No way in jigoku (Hell), kiddo. I'm already in enough hot water with the dingbat (Yuri) and I sure as the oni (devil) don't need to get in any more! Our medic (Yuri) says a couple of more days' rest for you and that's that. (She glanced at Mar's companion and grinned) Hullo there, Musicaa. I don't think we'vereally met yet. I'm Kei O'Halloran. Call me Kei or Boss. Glad to have you aboard, boyo." said the Boss and she stuck out a gloved hand in greeting which Musicaa ignored and began laughing.
"What the Sam Hell are you? The floor show?" he chortled, still ignoring Kei's hand of greeting. Mar winced and jetted her chair to the other end of the room.
"Batten down the hatches, hoist the storm flags and stand by for rough weather. Here comes trouble for sure." said an amused blonde.
"Now now, Boss. Cool it. Musicaa didn't know that you're the c.o. (commanding officer) so give the poor kid a break. Please?" she coaxed and Kei relented.
"OK. I guess anyone can make a mistake. How's the view today?" replied Kei, blowing a few smoke rings. While she was facing the viewing window the blonde grabbed the silver wielder and whispered frantically in his ear.
"Listen you big dummy. She ain't called 'Boss' for nothing, kid. She really IS our commanding officer." said Mar and Musicaa blinked.
"Her? I thought you ran the ship? After all you're a Brigadier." he replied.
"Yeah only the Boss is a Marshall. She's got a really hot Gaelic temper so be careful or you'll be on the receiving end of it like your Captain D'Greele was." whispered Mar. Changing the subject he pointed out the viewing window. "Can we see my world from here?" asked Musicaa and Mar shook her head.
"Nope. You can see only for a few thousand lightyears from here. Your world is ten times that distance from us. See that tiny red dot? (He nodded) That's 'Antares' and that asteroid is ten thousand lightyears from Mars." explained Mar. Musicaa whistled.
"So I suppose we won't be going home anytime soon?" he asked.
"Sorry but our next stop is 'Remus' and that's 25 lightyears from here. It's that grey world over there. (Mar pointed to the West) We'll be there in a few more days." explained the svelte blonde. Musicaa choked on his gin rickey.
"How fast are we going for Christ's sake?" he demanded.
"Not too fast. About 25 Warp." answered Marlene Angel.
"More like 35 now, Blondie. Garner wants us there in 72 solar hours." corrected Kei. A service droid had wiped up Musicaa's spilled drink and placed another one on the table.
"Whta's a Warp?" he asked.
"Lightspeed." replied Kei without turning around. Musicaa stared open-mouthed at her back.
"She means the distance light travels in a single solar second, roughly 170,000 kilos (kilometres). Like I said it's pretty damned slow." said Mar. Kei stretched.
"Think I'll check the bridge before I hit the sack. Blondie needs her beauty rest so don't keep her up too much longer. G'Night." said Kei.
"She's kawaii (beautiful or lovely) enough already for me right now, Reds." murmured a smitten Musicaa.
"C'mon lover boy. I'll walk you home. Five more minutes, Blondie. Then you get to your bunk and that's an order, Brig. G'Night." said Kei, dragging Musicaa by the ear. She dropped him off at the RAVE Suite on Level 4.
"Really Mr Musicaa! You and Mr D'Greele have simply got to stop bringing these trollopes and floozies home with you! I am not running a flop house you know!" scolded Griff when he answered the door. Kei bristled but said nothing and returned to the bridge.
