Just little things...

[everlastingsoul]

Started getting caught up with Ouran. Hee hee, Kyouya's not a morning person. I'm still not fond of Haruhi, though I don't hate her by any means.

My brother finally managed to fix his PS2. First thing I immediately played was Pop'n Music 12, since I've been having this mad urge to listen to the music in recent weeks. I'd still like to get my hands on the Contemporary Nation music, but I get the feeling the Pop'n Music soundtrack won't have full versions of the songs (which I want). I can't even look up the artist because I don't understand the kanji. Bleh.

Started making a list of ages and occupations for the Suiko modern fic. With so many different years and majors for college, it's hard to keep track mentally. Some things are still tentative, but ... well, everything's tentative until I write it into the story.

-- Albert Silverberg, age 20, senior, business administration major (marketing); undergrad research assistant (Fragmentation of Public Trust in Organized Agencies [FPTOA project])
-- Lilly Pendragon, age 20, sophomore, communications major (journalism/broadcasting); undergrad research assistant (FPTOA project)
-- Apple Goulden, age 22, graduate, psychology major (behavorial sciences); graduate research assistant (FPTOA project)
-- Shu Miyazaki, age 26, postdoctoral (Ph.D) candidate, political science/economics double major; research scientist (FPTOA project)
-- Mathiu Silverberg, age 33, assistant professor of psychology (social psychology/personality focus); FPTOA head investigator

-- Meg [no last name yet], age 18, freshman, electrical engineering major
-- Juppo [no last name yet], age ??, assistant professor of electrical engineering (not in Crystal Valley)
-- Sarah Bach, age 18, freshman, undecided

Need suggestions for tackling Odessa, Chris Lightfellow, and possibly some of the other Zexen Knights. Debating whether or not to have Sierra be a modern vampire.

Edit: Thanks for the lovely suggestions so far. ... I just had the totally random image of Chris being a police officer. *blinks* And I can't honestly say it wouldn't be fitting. Maybe I'll have Wyatt be a police officer or detective.

More characters:
-- Viktor "The Bear" [insert last name here], age 26, professional football player
-- Graham Cray, age 35, former industrial inspector (currently on welfare, possibly)
-- Alexander Cray, age 11, fifth-grade student (Caesar's classmate, Graham's son)

Another edit: Masa, you just killed me with awesome. XD

And now I'm imagining Chris smack dab in the middle of ... Phoenix Wright. "Objection!!" *falls over*

... And Gizel would be the prosecuting attorney with the over-the-top wardrobe... And Leon would be the always-frowning judge... *runs away before these weird ideas consume her*

Hmm...I would say put Chris in some sort of engineering field--perhaps Automotive?

I'd put Chris in business! Somehow I think it's funny if Sarah ever goes into psychology, or have her go into anthropology...

Write the kanji here and let me see if I can help you. :o

Odessa's totally a PolySci major. Flik, I think, is a courier or some kind of office monkey.

Chris is interning at her stepcousin Salome's law firm, having not yet gotten into Grad School. Percy's in veterinary school and Borus is a bailiff at the local courts.

Edit: Combine my assertion with K'Arthur's. Chris is going into patent or industrial design.

Sierra should be some goth 'vampire' teen who has an off-and-on relationship with her boyfriend Neclord, who comes from a rich family but hates his life anyways and just wants to END IT ALL ALREADY. He has no major because he's rich and has been in college six or so years now. But she also has another off-and-on relationship with Nash, a journalist major, who wants the SCOOP ON SIERRA.

But Neclord hangs out with his buddies Yuber (on a football scholarship) and Windy (the somethingsomething scholarship) and make life miserable for everyone. Their favorite teacher is Graham Cray, who teaches robotics (cuz of like, his hand) and says "Bwahahaha, Wonderful!" about anything they turn in.

Their constant rivals are Khan Marley, the poor boy from a rough neighborhood. He probably like, wants to be an astronaut. He hates Neclord's guts. Leknaat is Windy's little sister and is mad cuz she NEVER gets the hot guys. She's also blind and is studying to be a teacher or something. Pesmerga is also a sports buff... but he plays Hockey. Unfortunately Football is more popular at this college, but Pesmerga will PROVE THEM ALL WRONG YOU HEAR!?

Then if you make Twaikin the creepy, secretive groundskeeper I'll be etenerally impressed or something.

I hope you wrote this stuff down, because man. I think my brain blew up in awesome right there.

MORE STUFF OKAY?

Elenor Silverberg is Graham Cray's ex. He actually left HER because of her drinking problem. She gets visitation rights with Alexander on the weekends. She may also be a professor. Barbarossa is Windy's boyfriend. Not too swift, but huge disposable income. She constantly has parties at his place. He just likes the attention, really. He's already out of college and is like, in the army or something. Work with me here.

Krin technically doesn't attend college, but he's there anyways! You can find him hiding in bathroom stalls, behind open doors, under desks, and who knows where! Basic rule of contact - Don't Touch and hold your wallet!

Tir McDohl is a famous Hollywood Star who is still in college. He recentnly made it big in the horror movie, Soul Eater, but wants to finish his degree in acting. He's constantly surrounded by his elite team of BODYGUARDS. As such his only friend is Ted, who know him before he was famous. Ted secretly resents him for losing the part in Soul Eater to him, but can't bring himself to admit it. He's also a drama student.

Or secondary ed for Odessa. Maybe...focusing in World Studies?
We're all deluded that we can save the world. :)

[Except I'm technically not secondary ed. I'm Industrial Ed but I still suffer from the same affliction at times]

Also, for Percy...maybe a professional horse trainer with his own farm and string of show horses? Or an actor. Somehow, I could see him on stage :D

[thegamehiker.livejournal.com]

The Zexen Knights should be a rock band. XD

Leo on drums, Percy and Borus on Electric and Bass Guitar, Roland on Keyboard, and Chris on vocals. Salome is the band manager. It's perfect. I just blew my mind AGAIN.

[karthur.livejournal.com]

YES.
You win. :)
