News #1:
I PMed RondoNumbaNine two weeks ago and he still has not replied to me, so he has been cut from the RP and his profile has been removed from the OOC OP.

News #2:
I have decided for Pasta and I that Haruka and Ryuu will not be joining Dai and Shou at the Academy, so feel free to write your post without them included.
(Due to the difference in time zones, it might take a little while for Pasta and I to work out our post.)

News #3:
It is my birthday today, so this is likely the only time I will be online all day and since I will be throwing my birthday party on Saturday, I will not be online then, either.

That's the News.

With that out of the way, onto less serious matters.
I really appriciate that you guys are trying to keep the OOC alive and all; it makes me happy.
So, disregarding the fact that Halvtand thinks I should by trying to cure cancer instead of watching Swedish reality TV because he most likely thinks I should be trying to cure cancer over reading old comics, too, any of you guys read old comics? Or just comics in general?
If so, DC or Marvel?

Also, my little brother had his first Phychology classes yesterday and was all phyched about it. They were asked to wtire down the first thing they thought of when they heard the following sentences:
Name an animal that starts with T.
Name a color that starts with P.
Name a country that starts with F.

I never understood shipping, most of the time there really isn't _anything_ to go on. Take Pasta's Naruto/Ino for example. As far as I'm aware, these two have never really hung out, there's no chemistry, no hints of anything more, nothing that indicates that they could have a romance. I've seen much stranger pairings as well, with characters who doesn't even know that the other exists. What's the point? It's obviously never going to happen!

My prediction is that Hinata gets Naruto (I'm actually pretty pissed about her confessing her love for him and everyone acting like it never happened), Sakura gets Sasuke (Karin had her chance, she blew it), and Temari gets Shikamaru. I could go as far as saying that there seems to be something between Ino and Chouji, but it's not very developed and thus might be bullshite...

Hatter:
Don't you dare assume that I dislike old comic books! Old comic books are the best!
I'm mostly a DC-guy I guess... capes are awesome.

I'll respond to your PM when I get on a PC lAter tonight Mad with a good portion written! It shall be done!

Yeah, I agree with Hal that those are the most likely pairings; but I feel Naruto and Ino would mesh really well if given the chance.

And DC comics. Though only pre-52. The only comic I've been able to enjoy in the n52 is Batman Eternal. Prior, I loved Red Robin, Teen Titans, Nightwing, and a few of the Justice League stories. As for marvel? Trying out the new Iron Fist series and it is fun.

Favorite superhero? Gotta go with the Tim Drake Pre52. My first comics were the old Robin ones and to watch his character grow was awesome.

So it's okay for me to be reading old comic books instead of trying to cure cancer? Awesome.

I'm a Marvel girl, myself. Capes are overrated.
I used to have the biggest crush on Gambit from X-Men (The Amazing X-Men series) when I was a little girl/tween. I remember that in one of the volumes, they were all hanging out by the pool. Gambit was shirtless and dripping wet. I was like... well, I was perverted, even as a kid.

Last week, I think it was, I saw this RP on here that was supposed to be a Marvel Universe type of RP, but I only read a few sentences into the OP because as soon as Batman was mentioned, I was like; "This dood obviously doesn't know anything". Nerdy joke is nerdy.

.:EDIT:.

...Hal...

Took me a moment to realize you meant Halvtand. For a Scandinavian, that's a really weird place to part his name.
In the Scandinavian languages, "Halv" means "Half" and "Tand" means "Tooth". The Norwegians are weird and spell "Tand" as "Tann", though...

I'm used to it, most people (not scandies) who doesn't know what my name means part it like that. Once they know, it's usually halv... Or havl for some reason...
(Tann is by the way the correct pronunciation for my dialect, but I guess that only means anything for the crazy headdress).

Pasta:
Well, you have my interest. Just what about these two makes you think that they'd play nice?

Favourite superhero?
The first real superhero (yeah...) that I came across was Spawn (capes are f*cking badass!). And he has a special place in my heart. Other than him I like Deadpool a little bit too much. I'm an introvert and Deadpool pretty much symbolise everything I could never do, in a cool way (not in a Justin Bieber, teen mom-way). I also have a soft spot for anti-heroes if that isn't clear enough for you by now... As for real hero-heroes... Wolverine! F***ck! No! Spiderman... Spiderman is pretty cool I guess...

Also (this is one of my pet peeves), Batman is not a superhero! (Neither is Captain America, technically). There, I said it, now let the hatred flow through you!

@Halv,

Well, there is firstly the physical resemblance. Both possess blonde hair and blue eyes so that is an initial thing; but on a surface personality level they are both loud and brash types. I think of Ino as a sophisticated/female Naruto in some sense. She is more dainty and such, but also loud. On a deeper emotional level, I feel that they are both encouragers if that makes sense. Whereas if Naruto was in a relationship with Sakura, she would take his affection for granted because it's always been there. She would not be built up by his affection which would essentially make her ask for more from him. In which case he would probably feel unappreciated and it just would not work. In the case of Ino, I feel that she would appreciate his affection and then pour that same affection and encouragement back to him. It would be a more equal relationship.

Also, Batman's a hero because he lacks the super-powers and is therefore not a super-hero. However Captain America -does- have some powers. They say peak human performance, but honestly it's beyond that IMO.

@Mad, Sent you a pm with first portion of the post.

Batman's superpower is lv 100 Plot Armor

Havl... Well, we have a word that is pronounced like that, but spelled like "hagl" (I think it's "hagel" in Swedish), that means ... well, those little things you shoot out of a shotgun... Pellets? Isn't that what they're called? Lead pellets?

Well, unless I learned something terribly wrong in school (and from my Swedish aunt), you still spell it like us, even though you pronounce it differently. Norwegians are like "Ah, hell, We'll just spell it like we say it" ... and they actually do it.
(Seriously, I don't want to have to get drunk just to know how to pronouce things in Swedish. I'd have to take the potato out of my mouth)

I've never really considered Deadpool to be ... anything. I've never actually read the Deadpool comics and the only times I've actually "seen" him, he's just sorta been dropping into other comic books.
I might look into that.

Wolverine isn't a hero-hero... originally, at least. He was, in fact, an antihero. They kinda killed that in the newer comics, though...
He had a thing for asian teenage girls, too... *shudder*

Spidey is probably as hero-hero as it gets, though. Always has been and always will be. I loved those comics when I was little, but I grew out of them pretty quickly. He's cool and the comics are cool, but it's the same shit over and over again.

Batman generally sucks. The only thing I actually somewhat like about him, is the fact that he actually does kill some crooks rather than just, you know, hand them over to the local police. He is no super-hero, though, as he totally lacks the super, as Pasta also stated. I would say the "hero" thing is a bit... up for discussion. He's not always as hero-like as he should be and in the old comics, I'd even go as far as to call him an antihero.
Batman's superpower=Infininte Riches

Captain America, though, might have a bit of the "super" down (although his power is just "Human Peak Condition" and not anything actually outside of natural human reach (according to Joe Simon)), but he lacks a whole bunch of "hero". He is a super-soldier, not a super-hero. To anyone but the Americans (especially at the time that the original comic (1941) was published), he's, well, just an American super-soldier. He was created to fight for America and all the American ideals and stuff like that, which is something the rest of the world really doesn't think that they need super-soldiers to do.
To add wood to the fire, it was a comic book about WWII that was released during WWII. The war wasn't even over yet.

@Mad, Sent you a pm with first portion of the post.

Saw it and will respond to it sometime today :)

Hatter:
Yes, "hagel" are the tiny hurtful pieces of lead that comes out the business-end of a shotgun, and also the tiny hurtful pieces of ice that sometimes fall from the sky. And you keep that potato in, it's too late for you anyway.

I think Batman is really cool. And I'm not just saying that because I just finished Arkham City... I like how he always has a plan, and a backup plan, and a backup backup plan. That mofo is organized, and he keeps all his shit in a belt. No super power though, that would break the laws of reality.
Captain America... No super hero. As we all know "Super" is latin for "above". The captain is at the peak of human... Everything, but not above it, thus not super.
I had to explain this to a friend just a few days ago after guardians of the galaxy. It was frustrating...

No response yet from the Mad Hatter. :(

That's the hatter for yah. Sadly, she might disappear for a few days at a time without warning... The only upside is that we know that she'll be back.

edit: Maybe you can try to get a post out without her?

That's reassuring haha. "We know she's not dead (probably)"

Anyways gais we really need to bring our characters together there's only four of us here

Indeed. This has taken a bit more time than we expected, mostly because time difference and the mysterious case of the lost hat... We should try to finish what we're doing right now and go somewhere to gather the group.

Sounds good. I'll finish up the post and get it up shortly. Tomorrow afternoon by the latest.

I have some good news and some bad news.

I'll give you the good news first, to explain the bad one;
My surgery has been moved up to next week and it's a different surgery then what was originally planned. I'm going to get a whole new spleen, instead of just trying to fix the broken one I've already got.

The bad news, then;
I won't be on here for a while, since the surgery takes a while and the rehabitation is ... rough. So, yeah...

Pasta, you just move on without me - Just have Ryuu go home to the village and be with the other guys. I'll figure out something else for myself once I get back.

Thank you for understanding.

While that it sad to hear, it's probably for the best. We'll be able to get this thing going for real until you come back.

Alright. I will be unavailable for the next two days. I'm gonna go walk around in the forest for a while, and unfortunately trees don't give wifi... Anyway, I'll be back late Friday, but don't expect anything too great until Saturday.

I'll leave you with this thought:
During the Chuunin exam, Naruto faced Neji in a spectacular (Doujutsu-pun, yeah!) fight. During this fight Neji claimed that Naruto had no chance, because breeding is everything. No matter how hard he tried, Neji would win.
Neji was actually right.

yay for elaborate fight sequences!

Pasta, I dunno what's up with your post, but they should meet at a bar or something.

Alright, I'm back, alive and well, but sore. Ready to pick this thing up again.

We're still waiting for Pasta and stuff.
