{{TNE|remerciement=Thank ye ! And the blue-haired guy '''is''' you - a direct inspiration from what you're using on board FFWiki :D}}
{{Yuanchosaan|time=11:03, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
|text=Yay! I am now a gun-wielding, bunny-eating, mute pettanko demon. XD

And, er, "blue-haired guy"? I'm female.}}
{{TNE|shocktext=Ehhhhhhh. But did it look like a guy ? If it did, OMG, I'm so sorry !! I tried to make it as ambiguous as possible... ^_^}}
{{Yuanchosaan|time=11:44, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
|text=Nah, it didn't really, but I remember you referring to me as "he" on someone's talk page. Blame my tendency to use androgynous characters ^^;. Pleinair's actually going into retirement soon, to be replaced with the, er, rather more ambiguous [http://flnimg.frozen-layer.com/images/anime/2454/portada.jpg Kino].}}
{{TNE|text=Oh. I see. ^_^ But how come you're putting him into retirement so fast ? I kinda loved looking at Plenair. Especially when it reminded me of ''pleine air'' (full air or summat).}}
{{Yuanchosaan|time=11:52, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
|text=I've been using her in my template for some time, and I felt like it was time for an overhaul. I think her name is a pun on "en plein air". She's cute, isn't she? The artist seems to have some kind of obsession with her, though...[http://members3.jcom.home.ne.jp/u1h/cg/cg.htm so many pics]...

I especially like [http://members3.jcom.home.ne.jp/u1h/cg/ple/tak05006ple.jpg this] artwork of her.}}
{{TNE|happytext=''En plein air'' indeed. Thanks for reminding me. ^_^ Dang it, my French is rusty already !

But wow, I love that Plenair pic - the one you singled out. ^_^}}
{{KrytenKoro|Am I in there?

Damn, I need to upload the sketches I did for Maxina and Drexen.}}

{{DTN|happytext=Yes, you are. I think you're the one wearing the Gargoyle hat. ^_^ I'm the Roxas looking character on the far right.

I'll miss you so much, TNE! You'll be in my prayers!}}
{{TNE|remerciement=@Kryten : Yep, the Gargoyle hat and the technical sketch indeed. ^_^

@DTN : ''Merci ! Tu me manqueras !''}}

{{Xiggie|time=19:39, September 4, 2009 (UTC)|takk=Welcome back TNE! ''*hugs so tight that it makes camp Miri look like a play-date, then gives TNE a friendly welcome-back kiss*'' :P

I sure hope that I made your french welcome right (Bienvenue de retour), it means Welcome back, right?

I also archived your talkpage for you, as it was taking forever to load... If you are interested, our discussion on how to welcome you back can be found [[Forum:Welcome back TNE discussion|here]] :P

Many things have happened while you were away, including Me and DTN working on some stuff (including your new ''[[User:Troisnyxetienne/Talk Template Archive/Days|Days talk template archive]]'') among other things. I also think that DTN has a wonderful surprise for you, but I'll let him tell you ;P Also, like you may have noticed, we have gone red :P Happy 358/2 '''Days'''! :D

Well, enough of my ramble, time to let other people speak! Anyway, welcome back, and don't go away again! 

''<nowiki>*</nowiki>Xiggie leaves the stand and the next person up is...*''}}
{{DTN|time=23:57, September 4, 2009 (UTC)|happytext=<nowiki>*</nowiki>DTN arrives at podium, nearly fainting*

TNE, it's been too long, my friend! WELCOME BACK! *hugs through the varioius laws of physicals and placement <small>(not so sure what Isaac Newton's gonna think about this one)</small>* See, I told you you'd survive. ;P

I hope that you like Xiggie's welcome back template; there were some others, but I thought that one had a great personal touch to it. ;) Xiggie's right, we have been working a lot since you were here in July. By the way, I'm sorry that I couldn't be here on your break; I can't control the timing of 2-week long church camps! Anyway, Xiggie and I were working to get our ''Days Talk Template Archive'' project done before you returned, but we seemed to have procrastinated a little too long! But, who knows; I'm still gonna see if I can get close! -_^

@ Xiggie: Surprise? Oh, now I think I knows what you mean. *turns back to TNE* You may have already know this from our conversation last weekend over Twitter, but I'm a moderator now, along with HeartOfOblivion and Urutapu.  The [[Kingdom Hearts Wiki:Staff|Staff page]] has also been remodeled, due to the new staff members making it too many for an Organization XIII layout. Check it out!

Well, enough of my ramble; I tend to do that alot. Again Trois, welcome back! If there's anything that we learned while you were gone, it was this: We're all one big Wiki-family, and without you, there was just a giant irreplaceable hole in it!

<nowiki>*</nowiki>Steps down so that whoever is next can begin squealing....*}}
{{PrincessAndie|text= <nowiki>*</nowiki> emits loud squeal and hugs TNE even tighter than Xiggie did* WELCOME BACK! I missed you! How was the National Service? Did you miss us? Things were OK here! I had fun at camp! Make sure to talk to me! *gets up and leaves for the next person*}}

{{Firaga44|happy=my turn!*walks up to podium tripping half way there*i'm alright i'm a bit clumsy we might not have talked much but your a good friend supported me a lot and probably the only reason i've gotten a bit better at my editing *hands tne a choclate cake*my cooking skills stink the cake was supposed to look kingdom hearts moon thing}}
{{Super Sword-chucks|time=06:17, September 5, 2009 (UTC)|happytext=Em... My turn... *walks up to said podium and has problems with papers along the way*

Welcome back, TNE, so glad-- No... Great and excellent to have you back here! I believe we've talked a few times while you were on your 6 day break, but you know what? Just those few conversations really showed me how great of a person you are to everyone here. Being Catholic, I prayed for your safe return. Um... So! Once again, it feels great that you're back with us on the Wiki.

*ninjas off the podium after leaving a bottle of sparkling cider* What celebration is with food but no drinks? Cheers!}}

{{TNE|time=13:49, September 5, 2009 (UTC)|happytext=OMG... thanks ! ^_^ It's a pleasure to actually return and see all this stamped on my talk page. I'm happy and I thank the Lord I'm home !

Meanwhile, I'd better spill a little bit of the ending of my National Service story : you're now looking at the Best Trainee from the best company (Bravo) !

P.S. Dang, they had to give me a Green Requiem. I wonder what I can do to make myself worthy of the Organisation. Again.}}
{{ghostboy3000|text= OMG it's really you *hugs until the midnight* Shall we have a sea salt ice cream? or shall we chat and talk about what happened at camp either way I am excited}}

{{TNE|time=14:13, September 5, 2009 (UTC)|text=Let's see. First off, I've gotta reconstruct my page. Secondly, I've gotta unpack. And thirdly, let's not forget the journal entries. I've got at least 100 of them. Guess a sea-salt ice cream would do me some good.}}

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaait a minute! I REMEMBER YOU! Greetings, my fellow grammar lover! Good to see you back, even if my activity has been lacking. Exams love to eat Internet time.

Again, great to see you back safe and sound! =D}}
{{ghostboy3000|text= Yes it is. BTW is the picture of that girl up there you?}}
{{DTN|time=18:22, September 5, 2009 (UTC)|text=Much as I did want to be Roxas on the old Staff page layout, we'll just have settle with this, I guess. Oh well, Thunder was my favorite spell anyway. :P Actually, I bet that you could convince Bebop, Kryten, or someone to change it back, just take out the inactive Admins and Bureaucrats. I think that will lower it back down to 13 staff members, 14 if necessary.

Anyway, TNE, I'm sure that you're probably sleeping right now, since it is about 2:30 AM over where you are. But if you aren't too busy with unpacking and other post-NS activities, how about a conversation on the one of our talk pages (or better yet the IRC, so that we don't have to deal with EDIT CONFLICTS.)}}
{{yer mom|time=19:03, September 5, 2009 (UTC)|text=I would've welcomed you yesterday but it was still the 4th in my calendar and it didn't feel alright xD!

Anywayz, welcome back! did you follow my advice on the friend/log as tiger bait? xD!! I'm glad you're back and with the best trainee title, now I know who I'll turn to when I need to earn how to handle them deathly wepons! ♥ We love you, and again, welcome back ^^}}

{{Xion4ever|time=01:32, September 6, 2009 (UTC)|happytext= Hello there! Welcome back! I don't know you that well (only from the Wisdom Form talk page) but oh well! Welcome back, we all missed you!}}
{{GS|time=01:37, September 6, 2009 (UTC)|text=Hey trois, nice to have you back.  It was kind of strange without you making edits.}}

{{TNE|time=02:43, September 6, 2009 (UTC)|text=@Ghostboy : Supposed to be a representation of me but I changed it here and there. And anyway, now I've got short hair so it isn't entirely me. ^_^

@DTN : Soon, after the unpacking/journal entry/file transfer is done. Ouf, that's a whole lot of files - easily 3000 in all.

@Yer mom : Thanks ! The H1N1 scare spoiled everything and we ended up not going into the jungle, damn...

@GS, @Xion4ever : Thanks !}}

{{Flashpenny | I guess I should join in the welcoming committee. Welcome back to the KHWiki TNE. *Hugs*

Wow there's a first.}}

Welcome back, TNE! It's me, Mar. I'm just too lazy to use my talkbox because my computer is so slow and it would take 10 minutes to go to my page, copy paste and come back. I knew you would be back. Just in case you don't know, it was my idea to make the welcome template. But just my idea. Xiggie, Firaga, HoO, and many others made templates for you.

{{HeartlessSlayer|Hey welcome back! :D, hope things have been going well for ya!}}

{{DOH|happy= Okay, let's be friends! So how was National Services?}}


{{EO|time=00:47, September 10, 2009 (UTC)|text=I feel so foolish asking this...but did we ever say we were friends? Anyways, you should come on the IRC some time between 3:00 and 9:00 pm EST so we can talk...Sorry to be a bother.}}
{{EO|time=00:56, September 11, 2009 (UTC)|hooded=OK. Shall I upload and show you upon its completion? It is by far my best work...considering I'm only 14. And the IRC chat at about 4:00 EST would be nice, followed by the "Sub-Page" lecture. And do you think I could be added to that pic, if I'm worthy? I look like Harry Potter minus the scar, and I have brown eyes instead of blue.}}
{{TNE|time=01:18, September 11, 2009 (UTC)|text=Nice. I'll have you upload the thing soon. I'll perhaps redraw the entire pic, when I'm less tired. Remind me !}}
{{EO|time=19:50, September 11, 2009 (UTC)|talktext=Sounds good. I will be sure to. And I'm sorry about the IRC last night...what time was it where you were when you logged on? It was 9:00, my bedtime during the school week, where I was. Anyways, I'll be on the IRC for a "take two" until 11:00 where I am, and whatever time it is where you are.}}
{{TNE|time=02:43, September 12, 2009 (UTC)|text=Hehe, I don't remember.... ^_^"}}
{{EO|time=03:10, September 12, 2009 (UTC)|talktext=Yup. I was surprised they made us read it for HIGH SCHOOL! Reading 700 page novels in 8th grade and then a boring 90 pager with only one piece of action/violence at the very end? Please. And don't worry about it. I'll pester you more later...lol}}

==The return of...==
{{Chris|text=Je suis si en retard, mais j'ai été absent aussi!

My French has also grown a bit rusty, but I am delighted that you have come back nonetheless -- perhaps I should write another poem...

Regardless, I am Christoph again, though I have no intention of renouncing my Marluxia userbox.}}
{{TNE|time=03:55, October 1, 2009 (UTC)|shocktext=''Absent ? T’étais où ? D’ailleurs, je suis si contente de pouvoir te parler !'' ^_^ Well, keep the Marluxia talkbox, I don't think you'd need an image change unless everyone's using the same TTT2 template...}}
{{Chris|text=I have become, regrettably, quite busy -- I have just recently started internship as a part of my teaching methods class, though before that I had summer school (I do wish to graduate on time, though it seems that a rather large number of university students here have begun to take five years to complete a course of study rather than the customary four), though I have begun to rearrange my priorities in my free time as well (and, therefore, I should be writing more and goofing off less).

Regardless, I did manage to draw several of my older poems out of an immense pile of saved e-mail drafts, though many of them make me rather sad (not because they are bad, but because a few of them deal with sorrow, loneliness and innocence as a central theme), though I suppose I am writing another novel-length post (which reminds me, I do enjoy reading lengthily British novels -- I have become excessively fond of Jane Austen of late).

I also would not renounce Marluxia were everyone to steal my template -- I am quite fond of the rather frightening flowery fiend. *laughs*}}
{{TNE|time=04:51, October 1, 2009 (UTC)|text=Oh well. At least you're here. ^_^}}
{{Chris|time=12:04 EST, 1 October 2009|text=Indeed I am, and to stay this time.}}

{{Chris|time=10:50 EST, 2 October 2009|text=In reality, I continue my studies and become a schoolteacher; here, I continue to edit and talk to you (and other people) with this incredibly pink Marluxia bubble.}}
{{TNE|time=15:08, October 2, 2009 (UTC)|sadtext=I'm still headhunting for a law school.}}
{{Chris|time=11:10 EST, 2 October 2009|text=You make that sound so very mercenary (and you make Wendy look so very sad about it, which reminds me that I should give Marluxia a few more expressions), though I daresay you would make a more decent lawyer than a good number of those out practising today.

At university, I often find that serendipity is the order of the day -- it is rather difficult to explain, but I believe that things simply have a way of falling into place as they belong, though perhaps I am being a bit too idealistic....}}
{{TNE|time=15:20, October 2, 2009 (UTC)|text=I can't say for sure. One thing I do know is this - Oxbridge has already rejected me. Not like I'm considering Oxford or Cambridge, though I'd like to read law in the UK. After all, Commonwealth nations practise the same legal system.}}
{{Chris|time=11:30 EST, 2 October 2009|text=Oxbridge rejected you?  Quelle suprise!

Regardless, I would love to go to Britain someday -- the weather there promises to be cold, wet and dreary, just as I like it (facetiousness aside, I do prefer a cooler climate than the one in which I now live).}}
{{TNE|time=15:38, October 2, 2009 (UTC)|text=Indeed. Oxbridge expects 3 As in GCE A-Levels. I missed an A.}}
{{Chris|time=11:45 EST, 2 October 2009|text=Ah, so you have a British educational system as well -- I am, admittedly, rather unfamiliar with the admissions practices of the same after having been rather easily accepted at university in the US.

Regardless, if you do go to Britain, send my greetings to the queen (I have heard that, if you have the chance to see her, an absolute mob will appear just before she does to watch her pass by -- it must be quite the sight to see).}}
{{TNE|time=01:48, October 3, 2009 (UTC)|text=Indeed. Well, it depends on where I'm posted. If I'm in Buckingham, there's a fair chance of me bumping into Her Royal Highness. If I'm in Hull or somewhere further... that's another story.}}
{{Chris|time=12:09 EST, 3 October 2009|text=I imagine that you shall find your share of serendipity at law school (even if it does not mean that you will meet the queen) -- where is it that you would most like to go?}}
{{Chris|time=00:25 EST, 8 October 2009|text=I have just noticed that lovely sketch on your conscription userpage -- I must admit that I wish I could draw half so well....

I have actually just had a bit of good luck of my own in discovering an old cache of writing that I thought was lost but which now wants polishing -- I hope that some such good fortune will come your way as you continue to search for a school.}}
{{TNE|time=04:33, October 8, 2009 (UTC)|happytext=BUCKINGHAM, that's where ! ^_^ It's close to London and at least I won't be far from my relatives in Essex !

And about the sketch... thanks ^_^ It was serendipity.}}
{{Chris|time=00:36, 8 October 2009 EST|text=I have come to adore that word, serendipity, though I cannot really say why (I suppose I have been using it everywhere recently, nearly so often as I claim that something "just isn't my cup of tea") -- but who, may I ask, are all those people in the sketch?

(and p.s. I pity the school that rejects you.)}}
{{TNE|time=04:42, October 8, 2009 (UTC)|text=Yep, indeed. Ha ! Oxbridge rejected me - soon enough they'll know '''WHO THEY REJECTED !''' That's a decision they'll regret in the (after)life.}}
{{Chris|text=They shall rue this when you emerge brilliantly upon the courtroom scene and shame all with your wit and dignity (this is, at least, how I fancy you would appear in a court of law) -- regardless, I am still curious as to the subject of your sketch.}}
{{TNE|time=04:48, October 8, 2009 (UTC)|text=And not only that, once I make a name for myself as a recording artiste they know who they've missed !

The sketch, well, it's all the members of KHW that I could think of, with the hooded guy for all the people I did not know how to draw back then (well at least now I know how to sketch Marluxia). I did this for KHW before leaving for National Service.}}
{{Chris|text=This may seem a rather odd question, but what is KHW (I believe that I have heard of something called ''Kingdom Hearts World'', and the acronym would certainly match, but I do not really know what that is either).

And now I must away to sleep, for the hour grows late, or rather early, and I get to speak to an actual French person tomorrow via the Internet!}}
{{TNE|time=04:52, October 8, 2009 (UTC)|text=Kingdom Hearts Wiki. I always refer to it as KHW. Meanwhile, ''bonne chance'' for tomorrow... and sleep tight ! ^_^}}
{{Chris|time=11:20, 8 October 2009 EST|text=I suppose I should have recognised that -- though the obvious eludes me most when it presents itself openly, I rue.

I have just come of the chance encounter with the French student, who actually happened to be an Italian named Guido, though he spoke fluent French (and English, with an endearingly foreign accent) -- due to several technological problems, the conversation did not go as well as it might, and I must admit that I was a little disappointed, though the Italian was very nice -- I wish I could have spoken with him longer.}}
{{Chris|time=23:40, 27 October 2009 (EST)|text=Salut une fois encore!

I am quite inexplicably delighted at the moment, perhaps because of the dreary, cold, rainy weather -- I absolutely adore it -- and thought to ask how your hunt for a proper law school fares.  I believe that you will make quite the fine solicitor -- your argumentative skills are exceptional.

Also, a [http://www.behindthename.com/bb/view.php?id=3691819&board=author sonnet] I found in an old collection of things I have written.}}
{{TNE|time=03:52, October 28, 2009 (UTC)|text=Well... it's still hitting the lows. But believe me, rather than being a barrister/solicitor, I'd perform on stage ^_^... I've resolved to get that law qualification so that people won't play me out, and since lawyers have to learn up the law every single time, I guess it helps for me too.

I'm reading the sonnet at the moment.}}
{{Chris|time=23:55, 27 October 2009 (EST)|text=I do hope that you like it -- I cannot really recall why I wrote that one.}}
{{TNE|time=04:03, October 28, 2009 (UTC)|happytext=Oh my, it's nice ^_^}}
{{Chris|time=00:01, 28 October 2009 (EST)|text=I would make Marluxia smile, but I still have yet to make a more expressive userbox -- I am not certain about how well I like the fourth line of the third stanza (the one regarding the wolf being stained black); what do you think of it?}}

EDIT : Okay, I'm just three years younger than you are and I can already qualify as '''your trainee''' ! :P You seriously do have the word "teacher" spelt across. ^_^}}
{{Chris|text=A number of people on that message board were shocked by it, for they had all imagined me short, fair-haired and light-eyed, though I suppose that the picture would be a bit more realistic were I wearing my overcoat.  People also tell me that I look more like a professor than a schoolteacher, though I would be honoured to teach you anything you like (as though you would need me to do so).

I also changed one line of the sonnet -- what do you think of the revision?}}
{{TNE|time=04:26, October 28, 2009 (UTC)|text=It's good... I think the entire impression's there. ^_^ <small>By the way, [http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_e3eo_HLtecs/SufJq6--ilI/AAAAAAAAB9A/PILlemRYoig/s1600-h/Picture1.png this is me]. It does look like I'm posing for a shot but well, like I said, I'm just three years younger than you are and I can already qualify as your trainee :P</small>}}
{{Chris|text=On your way to the officers ball, are you, Gerneral Étienne?  What is that written on your cap? I cannot quite read it, though I do have a rather great suspicion that it is neither English nor French, and therefore out of the scope of my knowledge.

Regardless, I do hope you did have a lovely evening at the ball (and, facetiousness aside, I do like the quote accompanying your picture, despite not being certain of whether or not you are wearing any sort of formal uniform).  The hat is also surprisingly fitting, though I never before pictured your being especially militant.}}
{{TNE|time=23:09, October 28, 2009 (UTC)|happytext=:P Officers' ball... Huhuhu... The beret reads ''Khidmat Negara'' (National Service). That thing's in Malay.}}
{{Chris|text=That would make you at least trilingual then (English, French and Malay) -- shall I express my approbation with thunderous applause, or perhaps my envy by flushing three shades too green (the Americal educational system is not renowned for teaching foreign languages, and I began to study French when I was eighteen after three years of secondary-school Spanish).

Was national service the absolute nightmare you imagined, or perhaps something a bit more benign than was originally envisioned?}}

== A more serious subject... ==
{{TNE|time=00:07, October 29, 2009 (UTC)|text=Heh, not too sure ! NS was a '''bit''' more benign, I suppose, because I had a good set of teachers. But the food was horrible, as I had imagined, and there were fights (that's a staple in every camp, believe me), and I was bullied. Now that, I didn't expect. But all the things that I liked helped me clear the mess in my head. I guess.}}
{{Chris|text=You were bullied?! *hugs* *seizes nearest lethal object and charges at your oppressors*

Does that make it seem as though I hate bullying with a passion (I do, because of firsthand experience)?

But enough on the subject of things better left forgotten -- I am glad that you have been able to clear your head for it, and I do hope that you find yourself soon comfortably installed in a prestigious institution in some delightful corner of the planet.  And as for your being my ''trainee'', for what would I be training you?}}
{{TNE|time=02:53, October 29, 2009 (UTC)|text=Hm, what would you teach me ? :)}}
{{NinjaSheik|shocked=You...were bullied...? No way. Why would anyone want to bully you? You're a very wonderful person. Are they jealous of you?}}
{{TNE|time=00:33, October 29, 2009 (UTC)|text=Yes, for some odd reason, they were. Maybe because they hated to see someone within their company doing so well... I was the life of the party back then, and I'm sure they didn't like it. To hell with them anyway ! Chris, you, I and the rest of KHW all know that TNE is now the Best Trainee in the Best Company (as I mentioned some time ago) and I think they'd be kicking themselves in the face... metaphorically speaking.}}
{{NinjaSheik|text=Hmmm...I know how you feel. I get bullied everyday. It might be minor, but that still doesn't make it right. I speak to you and the others for comfort.}}
{{TNE|time=00:42, October 29, 2009 (UTC)|text=Indeed. ^_^ But you know, I used to be bullied everyday back when I was at school. It was only when I made a name for myself that people realised who I truly am. I mean, there are some who won't be happy with who we are. It's either because they like to prey on those whom they think are weaker, or those who they want to be like. But where you've been, I've been too ::hug::}}
{{NinjaSheik|text=I'm still there. My mom keeps telling me to make friends, but who wants to be friends like those people, anyway? What do they have agaisnt who are different! Why do they pick on me? I don't even know them. It's ridiculous.}}
{{TNE|time=00:51, October 29, 2009 (UTC)|text=^_^ Believe me, you know what I did to put them to shame ? That performance which you see in [[User:Troisnyxetienne/Qui suis-je]]. I'm sure you have a specialty of your own, so when the time comes, just go ahead and wham ! I know it took me a long time and I practically had to suffer because the person who bullied me was the head of the dormitory. And we all suffered under her. The company head, who was sleeping next to me, was like, "There, this is what we call a useless dorm head" but we still put up with it for like, two months I think ? And after that, wham !}}
{{NinjaSheik|text=Wow! You're amazing!!}}
{{TNE|time=00:59, October 29, 2009 (UTC)|happytext=You can be too !}}
{{NinjaSheik|text=No, I can't. You'd never seen me in real life. There's nothing amazing about me. No one on the wiki thinks about that highly of me, either. The ones that are amazing are you, Lord Xiggie, Sir GS, and Sir DTN!}}
{{TNE|time=01:06, October 29, 2009 (UTC)|happytext=Try implanting those two words into your head : you can. I had always thought I wasn't amazing until I gave my all in NS. I was always made to feel like I was nobody. Just a wannabe singer who doesn't even have a good sense of fashion. I mean, right now you're feeling the same way too, but soon enough when you say "I can" you'd definitely wanna break out of your shell and try something crazy. And crazy ideas '''always''' pay off. ;-)}}
{{NinjaSheik|text=Thanks for trying to cheep me up, but I know I can't. Besides, trying something crazy in school isn't really my thing. I gott be "lady-like" or else my mom is going to kill me.}}
{{TNE|time=01:14, October 29, 2009 (UTC)|text=You can always remain lady like and do something crazy. Like, my idea of uniting the trainees in such a way appeared crazy to the people around me. You can. Tell yourself you can. MN and Xiggie always tell me the same thing. I'm sure you'd want to find your place in school... and in the world later, right ?}}
{{NinjaSheik|text=Of course, I do. I have a sense of belonging here, on the wiki. But, I have my doubts sometimes.}}
{{TNE|time=01:22, October 29, 2009 (UTC)|text=Yes, sometimes, so do I. But life's too short to have any doubts ! There's a conscience which tells us if what we do is right or wrong, and I'm pretty sure making a name for oneself isn't wrong !

@Chris: Aide-moi. S'il te plait.}}
{{Chris|text=One moment, I have just recovered from a Firefox crash, though the rapidity your conversation kept me from inputting anything (I type novels rather than normal posts, if you will recall, so I fully expected such to happen).}}
{{NinjaSheik|text=Huh. Well, my consciene isn't very helpful to me at times.}}
{{TNE|time=01:51, October 29, 2009 (UTC)|shocktext=Oh dear.......}}
{{NinjaSheik|text=What?}}
{{TNE|time=01:59, October 29, 2009 (UTC)|text=I need to freshen up. Not sure if I'll be back on time but I hope I am !}}

{{Chris|text=Pardon me, Firefox did not seem to wish to co-operate at the moment, leaving me unable to say anything.

To Ninjashiek: I was also bullied in school, with my sheltered childhood rendering me quite the easy target and with no means of repelling the bullies in question than becoming a teacher's pet (I have a natural tendency to attach myself to protective teachers, and have even decided to become one, both because I love my subject and because I wish to save the children from their own twisted youth culture).

Forget your doubts *hugs*, they really are not worth your time (please pay no mind to the fact that a scatterbrained, indecisive bookworm happens to be saying this) -- and to be a lady is to live and act with dignity and grace, only this and nothing more, and although proper manners are ever a good, they are secondary to graciousness of demeanour (which you appear to possess, though I suppose I should be a bit more reserved about saying so, for we have only just met).  *takes both Ninjashiek and Troisnyx into a large, clumsy hug*}}
{{NinjaSheik|happy=Thank you so much, Sir Christopher! Tee hee hee! You have the same name as my idiot brother and a lazy friend of mine! So, are...Like friends now or something?}}
{{Chris|text=My name isn't really Christopher (or Christoph, for that matter), though I do prefer it to my own name, and use it nearly everywhere in some form or another on the Internet.

And yes, it does mean that we are friends now -- if you wish it to be so, that is.}}
{{Chris|text=I was just (quite inadvertently) tickled when I noticed that our talk bubbles bear the images of Namine and Marluxia -- I suppose I really don't fit his character very well.}}
{{NinjaSheik|happy=Sure. I don't mind. Nice to meet you, Sir Chris. I'm Sheik. NinjaSheik.}}

== The Case of Christoph's True Name ==
{{TNE|time=02:43, October 29, 2009 (UTC)|happytext=Yay ! We're one happy Wikifamily !

EDIT : @Chris : Your name starts with a B doesn't it ? :)}}
{{NinjaSheik|happy=^__^}}
{{Chris|text=Actually, it does not (that name was equally fabricated, though is only used on that one site) -- my true name is something of a secret, though you can find it out if you can find the right Christoph elsewhere.

On another note, I do not wish to sound unpleasant in saying so, but I actually prefer ''Christoph(er)'' to ''Chris'' (my template only uses that name that I may enter it quickly).  Ninjasheik has actually made Christopher grow on me a bit more than it already had (I plan to name my son Christopher, if ever I have one).}}
{{TNE|time=03:07, October 29, 2009 (UTC)|happytext=Ah oui Christophe ! ^_^ Just how many aliases '''are''' there ? Not B, not C... I guess I'll have to think, think, think hard !}}
{{Chris|text=There are only four, all of which involve either the name ''Christopher'' or ''Sebastian'' in some way, though one is presently defunct due to my having temporarily departed from the board at which it was used.

Follow the threads lain by ''Christoph Schrader'' and ''Jacques Bastien Rosier'' and all shall soon be revealed -- Christoph is something of an amateur linguist, and Bastien is a writer -- I do hope that you will be good enough to discover who I truly am (note well: Christoph Schrader is a common enough German name, but I am not German, Austrian &c, though I do have Germanic heritage, as is visible from the photograph).

Or you could just e-mail me and hope that I answer (my e-mail address has my real name attached to it).}}
{{TNE|time=03:20, October 29, 2009 (UTC)|text=Ah. My lips are sealed. *draws leaden zip across mouth*

EDIT : 03:38, October 29, 2009 (UTC) Still searching.....}}
{{Chris|text=Am I to presume that you have found my true identity, then?  I wish at times that we could speak in some way that did not involve the editing of wiki pages, though the eternal record of our communication is quite lovely.

Have you ever notice that ''Annette'' and ''Etienne'' are nearly anagrams of one another (switch ''t'' for ''i'' and ''a'' for ''e'' and you have it).}}
{{TNE|time=03:45, October 29, 2009 (UTC)|text=I was thinking the same about ''Annette'' and ''Etienne''... Wait, don't presume anything ! I'm still looking for clues but haven't come across any ^_^}}
{{Chris|text=The best anagram of ''Annette'' I can create is ''Nanette'', any others seem a bit awkward -- especially when adding an 'x', which yields such oddities as ''Nextante'' and ''Taxtenne'', neither of which is immediately appealing...

I suppose I have been rather taken with anagrams of late, though I am an avowed lover of words in general.}}

{{TNE|time=03:58, October 29, 2009 (UTC)|text=It's gonna be even more difficult to add X'es to your (user ?)name... Schradrex ? o.O}}
{{Chris|text=I hope that you will forgive me for the creation of yet another section to this page, though I suppose it almost necessary to the convenience of editing.

I would rather just rearrange ''Christoph(er)'', but that gives an awkwardly large number of consonants, and oddities such as ''Rophrischer''.  Adding an 'x' only makes matters worse, giving things such as ''Chosthextripher''.  I suppose you could anagram ''Topher'' (which I prefer to ''Chris'' as a short form) to ''Xopthre'' or ''Phothrex'', both of which sound like some sort of prescription medication.

Perhaps simply ''Rextoph'' would do?}}

{{TNE|time=04:14, October 29, 2009 (UTC)|happytext=Mmhmm *chortle* Yes, Rextoph's much better. ^_^ Well in my case I came up with the Nobody name rather than the so-called "actual" name. If Troisnyxetienne's the Nobody name, you wouldn't wanna imagine the "somebody" name...}}
{{Chris|text=Are you, perhaps, attempting to trace me through my watchlist?  Thus far it has been ''Fire, Blizzard, Thunder, Magnet'' -- whatever will be next?  I suppose that Rextoph must have taught Troisnyx to use magic when she first appeared:  he specialises in flower-elemental magic, which appears to be drawn from his strong childhood attachment to flowers, though absolutely adores random (generally useless) knowledge, including other spells that he doesn't seem to care to use.

Perhaps this little piece of fictional data will aid you in your search.}}
{{TNE|time=04:34, October 29, 2009 (UTC)|text=Ha ! Call that tracking you down ! :P For the amount of unstructured information there was in the magic/abilities list. Let me guess - Marluxia now right ?}}
{{Chris|text=Tracing me through my watchlist (which does contains all thirteen members of the Organisation and every spell, as well as the page on magic (some of which I penned myself), this page and my own userpage.  If you attempt to trace me through Marluxia, you cannot do so through his entry, but rather through my talk balloon.}}

{{TNE|time=04:51, October 29, 2009 (UTC)|text=I think I got you. :P (What '''am''' I, a stalker like Yer Mom ??)}}
{{Chris|text=Well, what have you found?}}

{{TNE|time=05:26, October 29, 2009 (UTC)|text=You know, I'll have to read and re-read this conversation over again. Once I begin the investigation. Tonight. Because right now, I think I've got a sharp pain in the head......}}
{{Chris|text=I wish I had a "concerned text" or something to show a better facial expression, though I shall perhaps delete a few hints -- my watchlist may or may not help you, though you are welcome to look at it.

I do hope that I have not caused your head-pain -- do go to bed and rest awhile...

I need to go to bed as well -- I can finish this French homework tomorrow.}}

==Bonjour, mon amie !==
{{Chris|text=I have heard that your wikibreak is over, and am delighted that you have returned -- I was taken away by various matters in my own world, but I am still here, watching over the magic and members of the organisation from afar.}}
{{TNE|time=12:20, November 24, 2009 (UTC)|remerciement=''Merci pour l'accueil'' ! It's good to be back as a regular editor. Well, I had my share of silly Organisation stuff over KHFR for the past three weeks :P But it's all good. How've you been ?}}
{{Chris|time=8:59, 24 November 2009 (EST)|text=I have been well, more or less, and survived a cold that resulted in some rather unpleasant coughing, and my tenure as a student intern is drawing to a close (I actually enjoy this part of teacher training better than the methods class itself).  It is nearly Thanksgiving, and I am quite excited about the coming holiday.  What about you, how proceeds your hunt for the perfect law school?}}
{{TNE|time=14:05, November 24, 2009 (UTC)|happytext=I got into law school ! It's actually a feeder university - so if I do well for the first and second years (God willing !), I'll be able to further my studies to the University of Cardiff. Meanwhile, the weather's dreary, and over here, practically everyone's down with a cold, so welcome to the fray.}}
{{Chris|text=Are you already in Wales (Cardiff is the regional capital of Wales, if I remember correctly)? My surname is actually Welsh, though I have no idea how far back one would need to go to find an actual Welsh relation (it has been Anglicised in spelling, and means something akin to "grey" or "frost-covered").  Regardless, I am delighted that you have found a school that is to your liking (I hope).}}
{{TNE|time=14:34, November 24, 2009 (UTC)|text=Well, I'm not in Wales yet... I need to get a 50% GPA for my first year, and a 65% GPA for my second year if I want to go there. Heck, I want to ! ^_^}}
{{Chris|text=Well, best of luck (I am certain that your intellect will suffice in its stead, however) -- I have heard that the British Isles are a lovely place, and would not mind having studied there myself, though my subject is literature rather than law (as I am certain I must have said before).

It feels rather strange asking out of the blue, but what series of Japanese characters should I use to render my username into Japanese?}}
{{TNE|time=03:05, November 25, 2009 (UTC)|text=Katakana. That's the safest. In fact, it's used to render words from any other language into Japanese.}}
{{Chris|text=I have rendered it as follows -- クアイストフ シュアオダ ''Kuaisutofu Shuaoeda'' (Christoph Schroeder) -- does this look correct to you?  I didn't want to use the ''r'' sound to transcribe the sound of an English ''r'' as it is too easily confused as ''l'', and therefore used a hyper-nonrhotic transliteration.  As with many other transitions from Japanese to English, ''Christoph Schroeder'' becomes ''Christoph Schraeder''.}}
{{TNE|time=03:26, November 25, 2009 (UTC)|text=Let me correct that : クリストフ•シラェ一ダ一 ''Kuristofu Shraeda''.}}
{{Chris|text=I actually prefer ''Schroeder'' to ''Schraeder'' -- I probably should have rendered it ''Kurisutofu Syuroda'' -- I rather like the linguistic discrepancy.}}
{{TNE|time=03:35, November 25, 2009 (UTC)|text=Hm, shrouding yourself in mystery again I see ? ;-)}}
{{Chris|text=I rather enjoy acting in the character of Christoph -- I am quite fond of him, though I do think that ''Schroeder'' is a more fitting last name, and that the English translation will be explained away by stating that someone who thought he ought to sound a bit more intimidating changed it.

Regardless, I suppose the final Japanicisation should read クリストフ•シロダ ''Kurisutofu Syuroda'', again, literally, ''Christoph Schroeder''.  I suppose I will have to give him a history now....}}
{{TNE|time=03:47, November 25, 2009 (UTC)|text=You'd better ! ^_^

EDIT 03:50, November 25, 2009 (UTC) : On a side note, I've noticed that almost everyone using the Marluxia icon has the numbers 1 and 2 in their age. Coroxn is 12, you're 21 and another user from KHFR's 21.}}
{{Chris|text=How very odd, and yet also very amusing!

Shall I begin to tell you his tale here?  No -- too much clutter -- I will use my own neglected userpage -- how might I split my page between the article and the discussion as you have done here?}}
{{TNE|time=04:15, November 25, 2009 (UTC)|text=Hm... all talk stuff goes to the talk page, I suppose !... Put up a section for the story on your userpage, and then link back to it here. Not sure how else to get around it...}}

==Story Writing==
{{Chris|text=Shall he be from Hollow Bastion, or perhaps Twilight Town?  Maybe even a world of his own?

Edit: I have begun the tale, but I fear that it may be a bit too sad....}}
{{TNE|time=06:37, November 25, 2009 (UTC)|text=Never mind the sadness. I've faced more than people can imagine. Bring it.}}
{{Chris|text=I have given Christoph his own world, the City of Lights, which is a large Belle Epoque European-esque city surrounded by a large hardwood forest.  I suppose that, even though it is more a summary than an actual story, this will be the first piece of fanfiction (even though it uses an original character).}}
{{TNE|time=15:06, November 25, 2009 (UTC)|shocktext=Which now leads me to the question : the style's ''Belle Epoque'', which kinda invokes happy thoughts for many. And Christoph's story is...... sad ?}}
{{Chris|text=A bit, he is turned into a heartless (though he doesn't immediately realise this, and may never know) rather quickly, among other things, though he is immediately pleased by the way he looks as a nobody.  I suppose it becomes better as he discovers several new abilities (the ability to fabricate documents out of nothing seems to be one, as his weapon is a pen), though I have just encountered another character, who I think may actually be his heartless, which appears to have retained something like his former image as he, at least theoretically, surrendered his heart willingly for a book (but as he is still a child, his darkness wasn't very strong, so his heartless is considerably weaker than his nobody, both physically and mentally, and is also incredibly sentimental).

It is a very beautiful city, and Christoph (who has become Christo and Topher somewhere along the way) is delighted by his first time taking an actual stroll through it, and makes his first friend after disappearing into the forest (even though this "friend" is just the emotional half of his personality).  I suppose this means that he will have to go on some sort of quest to rejoin himself and his heart, though he won't want to give up what he has gained in becoming a nobody (he is taller, stronger, faster and prettier, as well as annoyed by the petals that always seem to follow him).}}
{{TNE|time=15:45, November 25, 2009 (UTC)|text=Wow. ^_^ *salutes* I'm trying to imagine what the character would look like.}}
{{Chris|text=Which one, Christo, Topher or Christoph?}}
{{TNE|time=15:48, November 25, 2009 (UTC)|happytext=ALL !}}
{{Chris|text=Well, how do you suppose they might look?  I shall give you a hint -- for Topher, delighted at being a nobody, I used, for his theme [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JYDYfbx83ww The Legendary Sorcerer]], whereas for Christo, not so happy to be a heartless, I have chosen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSQiE6bGaRw Guiding Star]].  I must admit that I am very fond of listening to the soundtrack of [[http://aselia.wikia.com/wiki/Tales_of_Legendia Tales of Legendia]] while writing.}}
{{TNE|time=16:21, November 25, 2009 (UTC)|text=And there I was, all ready to write a soundtrack !}}
{{Chris|text=Oh, pardon me -- I only meant to give you an idea of the differences between the two...perhaps you can recreate the original Christoph from the following details --

*Christo (heartless) has black hair, Topher (nobody) has white.
*Christo has dark blue eyes, Topher's are silver.
*Christo is very freckled, Topher has no freckles at all.
*Christo and Topher both have long hair (a trait that identifies inhabitants of their world)
*Christo is shorter and thinner than Topher
*Christo is small and rather weak, Topher is larger and physically powerful
*Christo acts primarily based on instinct (because he is a heartless), Topher overthinks everything (because he is a nobody)
*Christo is sickly, Topher is incredibly energetic
*Christo does not realise that he is a heartless, Topher does not know that he is a nobody
*Both Christo and Topher know what Unversed are, but only think of them as fairytale creatures
*Christo falls asleep very easily, Topher is an insomniac
*Christo is very reserved with expression, Topher is openly affectionate
*Christo and Topher both have flower-elemental magic
*Christo resembles a black mage, Topher a white mage
*Christo is at first a bit wary of Topher, Topher likes Christo immediately
*Christo cannot climb trees very well (Christoph's favourite hobby other than reading), but Topher is strong enough to carry Christo to the top without effort (Christoph cannot do this)
*Christo eventually becomes Topher's "Guiding Star," whereas Topher will become a "Legendary Sorcerer" (to pun off the names of the songs -- the two are startlingly accurate descriptions)
*Christo does not possess any memory of having been Christoph, Topher does, but no longer thinks of himself as being so
*Christo does not inherit Christoph's literary talents, Topher is able to create documents of any sort instantly
*Christo will later be shown to read ''Sense and Sensibility'', while Topher reads ''Pride and Prejudice''
*Christo's next book is ''The Three Musketeers'', whereas Topher's is ''The Count of Monte *Cristo'' (no pun intended here, actually)

Christo also has a secret that Topher can never see, but what this is I shall leave for you to find.  Also, because the two boys have white and black hair respectively, I will give you a clue -- the original Christoph has golden-brown hair.  His strengths have become Topher and his weaknesses Christo.  The two boy's names are, quite clearly, the English-language cognate of their original name split in two, but both retain the syllable ''to''.}}

==Bonjour encore, Mademoiselle TroisNyx!==
{{Chris|text=I thought I would appear out of nowhere to say ''bonjour!'' I haven't been around very much of late, though I still exist, and still keep track of my watchlist, though I haven't been as vigilant as I might be.

Perhaps I will resume that story now....}}
{{TNE|time=23:39, December 6, 2009 (UTC)|noel=''Bien le bonjour, une fois encore !'' I'd like to see what you have in mind.}}
{{Chris|text=I was writing the story as a summary, but I think that I will write it out as a full story instead — I never did post it on my userpage, though I think that I do still have the original text somewhere.  I have to go study now — I will be back sometime before reading day (Tuesday).}}
{{TNE|time=01:29, December 7, 2009 (UTC)|noel=Okay then. I'll be waiting. ^_^ Happy studying (I hope it's okay to say that !).}}
{{Chris|time=00:48, 7 December 2009 (EST)|text=It went marvellously — I got nearly nothing done, and we all went out for a very late dinner (it is after midnight here, as evidenced by the time stamp).  I have a portfolio to compile for one of my education classes tomorrow morning, followed by an essay on medieval English literature that I must revise — I have enjoyed the professor immensely, but my literary tastes are firmly planted between the eighteenth century and the Victorian period, and I despise several medieval authors.  Literature is still my true love, however, though I have recently begun to acquire a voracious appetite for anime.

What would you think of the story being set far into the past, before the heartless ever appear?  I had a rather interesting idea of telling it in reports written first by Christoph and then by the two that appear when he is split into two, Chris (the black-haired boy) and Toph (the white-haired boy) — they still live in the City of Lights (which is still a Belle-Époque style world in which magic-technology is blossoming).  I have so very many ideas, though I am not certain that I really wish to split Christoph into two people — perhaps I shall invent something else for him to become....}}

{{TNE|time=06:12, December 7, 2009 (UTC)|noel=Hm. The Unversed. Those who are not well-versed in their own existences. Believe me, setting the story at that point in time is good - the very '''definition''' of Unversed has poetic overtones (which I won't delve deeper into, but yeah). ^_^

Meanwhile, did you take a look at the poll on my userpage ?}}
{{Chris|text=I'm not sure how an unversed is formed yet, but I had considered it.  And I voted for all of the above on your poll, though if you only do one, sketch something.}}
{{TNE|time=13:41, December 7, 2009 (UTC)|noel=Will do ^_^ Merci !}}
{{Chris|text=I shall look forward too it.}}
{{TNE|time=14:13, December 7, 2009 (UTC)|noel=In progress already... I'll take a look at the stats and see how it's been so far.}}

{{TNE|time=05:00, December 8, 2009 (UTC)|noel=Wow, never thought you'd jump up and down ^_^ But yeah, I'll see that it gets finished.

As for KH song covers, those are easy. Singing something ? Er, not that easy, but it's do-able. Drums, er... if you've seen the two vids on the blog, then it's time for me to hide under the table. And I need an idea for "something goofy".}}
{{Chris|text=Something goofy? I haven't the slightest idea...you could try to waltz with me over the Internet (I have never waltzed with someone halfway around the world before), but I have no camera, and you cannot waltz with someone you cannot see.

I have almost finished Christoph's first letter.  I had him address it to someone named ''Annette'' (I hope you don't mind my borrowing your name, but it fit very well — also the katakana spelling his Japanese name have been changed to read ''Christopher Schroeder'' (or, literally ''Kuristofa Shuroda''), to keep the Japanese ''Christo'' and ''Topher'' in line with the English ''Chris'' and ''Toph'') — you can answer him as his penpal if you are out of ideas for other goofy things.  I have made him a little younger for his first letter, as I think things are often best presented through the eyes of a child — childish innocence can lead to lovely descriptions.}}
{{TNE|time=05:18, December 8, 2009 (UTC)|noel=It's okay ^_^ Sounds cute. Childish innocence can lead to lovely descriptions, how true ! It's only pitiful that people (particularly over here) dismiss childlike views.}}
{{Chris|text=The first ''Christoph Report'' has been posted, as well as a brief note on where they were found.  As more unearth themselves, they will be revealed (in a somewhat-random order, as the original "Ansem Reports" were).  I hope that you like it.}}

For the next Christoph Report ? I'm thinking of how it is in a child's eyes when he sees the sunset, everything about his home world, from an ethereal point of view (Think Wordsworth's Ode : Intimations of Immortality, I love that poem).

What's actually making me bitter is that [[User:Thomaskh2|Thomaskh2]], our admin over KHFR, and possibly the liveliest person I've ever met apart from [[User:Xiggie|Xiggie]] and the gang, is contemplating leaving Wikia. But that'd only mean a return to our monotonous editing. >_> I can't force him to stay, though I must say, I fear having to say goodbye. I hate having to say goodbye. I hope there won't be one...

-:I have begun to see that (I hope you didn't think I meant that I thought it silly — quite the contrary, I think it an incredibly good thing, the ability to find friends in people one would not chance to meet otherwise), and, although I am a bit socially timid, I wouldn't want to lose you or anyone else I have met here.  In fact, it seems as though the people one meets in person (and would equally not like to lose) are the ones from which it is easiest to be separated.  Regardless, that is a lovely idea (the thing at the bottom of Kate's page).  You really must become famous now — I will wait with baited breath to hear the announcement that you are coming somewhere nearby (though where I will be at the time I can hardly say — wherever will give me a teaching job, I suppose).
-:I can picture it now — La Mademoiselle des Troisnyx: solicitor extraordinaire by day, singing sensation by night (or perhaps without the solicitor part, if you find the profession not to your liking, though I daresay that I think you will be great either way).  Are you feeling better now?  Perhaps I should write another report....

-And what reason is there that you cannot?  I am certain that it would make for a delightful story, though I cannot really say that I know how you sound when you sing other than that recording of yours I heard long ago.  I feel rather silly asking, but how is the sketch you are making for Christmas proceeding?  I must admit, I am quite curious — shall I write another sonnet to spur you on?  And if I write another ''Christoph Report'' tonight, what should it be about?  I think that I will renumber them after having written them all, though I had intended for them to be out of order, as were the ''Ansem Reports'' at first appearance.
-I actually have several sonnets you have never seen — I should prepare a personal anthology, but I am nervous about publishing them online, as I may get the chance to publish a book of poetry somewhere in my wildest dreams, and I have copyright paranoia and so on.  Dreams are lovely things, but are as difficult to make real as they are beautiful, I fear.

-As for ''le petit Christophe'', I have never read that poem before — it isn't in my anthology, and, although I enjoy poetry from the Romantic period, I generally prefer Keats to Wordsworth.  Regardless, the story will continue beyond the letters (at least, I do hope that it will) — what do you suppose must have happened to the City of Lights for it to be excavated as a ruin (I may change this part of the story, actually)?

-:I would have to perform an immense canon-bender with that one — I have absolutely no idea how an unversed is formed, though Christoph does know that they exist somewhere in the back of his head, but he doesn't believe that they are real.  Perhaps this story is taking place sometime during the time in between the destruction of the unversed and the emergence of the heartless?  Perhaps I shall stick to the thought that Christoph becomes a nobody due to the loss of his heart to a heartless created by experiments taking place within the City of Lights that happen before the ill-developments elsewhere...experiments, perhaps, that have something to do with light....

-I am about to watch the video of you singing — I am not very good at finding things, I must admit, and it took me a few minutes to figure out exactly where it was.  You said that you were singing about three minutes into it, correct?  My computer is slow and I will have to wait for the whole video to load before I can watch it.
-And who/what is BBS?  I know that this should be terribly obvious, but I am presently in the midst of a long-running hate affair with alphabet soup (and will probably commence a parallel hate affair with literature textbooks over the course of my student teaching).  I have a newly-acquired dream of teaching in Japan for a few years, but am dreadfully afraid of geologic movements (such as earthquakes).  In addition, I don't speak a word of Japanese, but I don't really want to stay here (in the US), and have every intention of becoming an expatriate.

-:BBS = Birth By Sleep (I'm pretty sure you're aware of the upcoming episode in January)... ^_^ yeah, the one in black is me. And I'm not sure how tall is tall.

-What on Earth does that writing in your signature mean?  It looks so very foreign, I could not begin to guess.  I feel rather happy now simply because it is winter — I love light and warmth, and, contradictory as it may sound, I find them most comforting and welcoming in the depths of the darkest and coldest time of the year.  I also love Christmas — not the horrific consumerism that has come to reside with it, mind you — the thought of giving and also of draping evergreens all over the place (which has nothing to do with the meaning of the holiday is still undeniably fun and also quite beautiful).
-Si tu lira mon balon de conversation, tu peux lire ''quand je pense de l'hiver, je pense que la bonheur ne peut pas finir'', et, bien que j'adore les fleurs (et les printemps), je pense que l'hiver est ma saison favourie.  Quand je pense aux printemps, je pense du pollen, et j'en suis allergique!
-How have you found law school?  I do hope that it is going well — I will have to stay on another semester over the summer at my present university to complete my teaching licensure, though what I really want to do is teach overseas.  I have also begun to pursue my dream of writing a novel, though it is a daunting task now that I have begun — I change so very much each time I cannot tell anyone what it is about, or else I will change so much that it would confound the listener to no end.  I only hope that I can finish it this time — I have tried (and failed) to do it before, though now I really know that I want to do this, so I think I really can.

-I hope that I will be able to pursue my writing dream in the wake of student teaching — I find the prospect to grow more and more daunting as I progress closer to it.  My real fear is that I am not a good enough writer to author an enduring novel:  it already isn't something that I intend to appeal to the masses — I don't like perfect characters, there isn't any real objectionable content, though religious fundamentalists won't like it for a number of reasons (mostly because it contains magic and will reference a god (I call him Josue and portray him as a small child) who exists in-world).
-I took a class on contemporary British literature once.  I reject most of what I was given as canonical examples of literature — it was dull, wanted both style and substance, hopeless and rife with characters with whom I could never hope to identify.  What was called poetry wasn't poetry at all, but rather something I would call "experimenting with words involving too much inappropriate content with no appreciable artistic value" or something of the sort.  I suppose I may simply have had a bad professor, but what is termed "literature" by my contemporaries seems to be anything but, and I worry for the future of it (I am especially irked by the way in which "postmodern" anything makes annoying reference to the fact that it is a book, poem (not really), film, video game (cf. ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' and ''Star Ocean: 'Till the End of Time'', which I otherwise enjoyed), &c.).
-Please pardon my literary rant, but I am very outspoken about this subject in person (and also very openly critical of modern "art" and "music," as well as things such as the media and the youth culture of laziness and waste that appears to predominate this country).  Now the hour grows late, and I must away to bed — ''bonne nuit, mon amie !''
-:Bonne nuit &mdash; et bonne année en avance ! <big>'''[[User:Troisnyxetienne|<font color="#2A52BE">Agi Idup</font>]] [[User talk:Troisnyxetienne|<font color="#1E90FF">Agi</font>]] [[User:Troisnyxetienne/Mensa|<font color="#71A6D2">Ngelaban !</font>]]'''</big> 06:12, December 31, 2009 (UTC)
