Second: At the behest of ~AuroraExecutionchan I am posting some stuff. Mostly she just wants me to put up Nikolai, but I figure this is a good opportunity to burdo-er, grace you with some of my older (but blessedly complete) material.

Look out below!

It's not a story or anything, but it's something I invested a lot of time in, and it was really fun to do. I'm in the process of translating all Unknown's entries for LoT, and I'd like to do Endzone as well, but I don't know if I'll post any more of them. This is the only one I've actually put words to bubbles on, and that was because I'm using it for a grad school application. And most of the entries are flash videos. Uber gorgeous, amazing flash videos. They'd be hard to do something other than a typed script for.

I am still kinda working on other stuff. It's been a crazy quarter, and will continue to be for another few weeks. I should have more time to write next quarter, and I'll get back into posting stories then.

In the meantime, check out . More than enough there to keep you entertained.

I got a 120 color box of crayons for Christmas myself, so I've been experimenting with using those in my art. AE's pic will be colored, so there's something to look forward to. I've been saving a fun looking meme in my deviations list that did, so look forward to that maybe soon too. I've been outrageously swamped this quarter though, between classes and internship, but I am still alive. See you all soon!

1. Character you'd like to have over for tea.

I'm gonna have to take a cue from AE-chan and say Baron from The Cat Returns. He's awesome and makes his own special blend, and I'm always up for trying new kinds of tea.

2. Character you'd most like to have as a sibling.

Tamaki from Ouran High School Host Club, as an older brother. There's an episode where he sort of adopts this little girl who's looking for her big brother, and he pretty seems like the coolest older brother ever. Not to mention he's a total sweetheart, and very wise about other people, so he'd be able to give me great advice. And maybe I could help him be less of an idiot about his own feelings. It'd be fun to finally get him and Haruhi together.

3. Character you'd most like to be friends with.

Xellos, from Slayers, in as much as anyone could be friends with him. He's hilarious, and life would certainly never be boring. Mostly I would just want to be on his good side. He's just generally a cool guy.

4. Character you'd most like to have as a cousin.

Victor Fries (Mr. Freeze) from Animated Batman, if only to have the excuse and the chance to give him regular hugs, poor guy. He's such a tragic character, and every time he tries to do something right, something terrible happens that pushes him right back over. He can't catch a break, and maybe as his cousin I could give him something in his life that was regularly good and not sucky.

5. Character you'd most like to have an adventure with.

I have to go with either or both of my two favorite Jacks. Jack Shaftoe from the Baroque Cycle, and/or Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates. They're both brilliant, crazy, and kick-ass. I think this choice needs little explanation, so there it is.

6. Favorite quirky character.

The Great Mizuti, from Baten Kaitos. Carzy little floating thing that talks in the third person and is "invincible, but not that invincible". Just loads of fun to have in the party, and a really powerful mage to boot. Great character design, really strange, and hilarious.

7. Favorite love-to-hate character.

Legato from Trigun. I have such a love-hate relationship with this guy, he's the obvious choice for this category. This is only having seen the anime, by the way. I don't know if he's a little less despicable in the manga,

8. Favorite bad guy.

Tie between Albedo from Xenosaga and the Joker from Batman (any Batman, but especially the animates series and the Dark Knight). They're both insane and hilarious and repeatedly well-acted. Truly great villains, both of them.

I am also not often compared to anyone, so I'll skip the last question too. Although, if any of you think I'm really similar to a fictional character, let me know! Cesura out.

The new life is my sister's. The whole two week-ish vacation was built around moving her from St. John's university in Minnesota to Billings, Montana, where she has a new job as the music director at a church. Long haul. So we got her all moved in and left her there. Best of luck to her!

The journey home is where the problems started. While in Billings, our Hybrid Vue started giving us the check battery light every other time we turned the car on. However, turning the car off seemed to solve it, so after a perfunctory check at a dealership in Billings, we hit the road. Wyoming. I've always maintained that Wyoming doesn't really exist, and sure enough that's where everything went squiffy. While driving through Wyoming, the check battery light was on. Then the check engine light came on. Then the clock face and radio went dead. Then the power steering began failing. At this point we're (meaning my parents and I) all scared, so we pull off the freeway into Buffalo, Wyoming, population somewhere in the teen-thousands. We essentially coast down Main street, my dad taking care to not fully stop the car at a red light, and coast to the front of a bay in a Sinclair service station, whereupon the car dies, I kid you not, inches from the opening into the empty bay. We all fall out of the car and find the auto mechanics and explain that we are stranded. This is where the new faith is, particularly faith in humanity. These guys were fantastic. They popped the hood of the car and essentially said, "Huh?" because they just weren't used to working on hybrids. But they still did their best. They ran a test on the battery which pronounced it bad. They looked up the kind of battery (apparently one none of them had ever heard of) and pulled out the old one. The battery was more than dead. It was imploded, the sides caved in. They ordered us a new one. We spent the night in Buffalo, Wyoming, and in the morning, the Sinclair guys installed the new battery. Absolutely wonderful people, from us rolling up into their station and saying, "Help!" to dealing with a car that was strange to them, to ordering us a whole new battery and putting it in. I've lost some faith in technology, but my faith in humanity has been restored. A big, heartfelt thanks to the guys at the Sinclair station in Buffalo, Wyoming.

I've got lots of pictures of Montana wilderness visible from Billings, Devil's Tower, Wyoming, and the imploded battery, so expect some photos from me soon.

The moral: Americans can't make hybrids, and if your car breaks down in Buffalo, Wyoming, your in good hands at the Sinclair station. See? There are still some great people in this world, and a lot of them live in Buffalo, Wyoming.

The reason I've been slacking as far as typing/writing goes is I've been reading like mad since I got home for the summer. I'm on an all-out classic sci-fi binge, starting with Arthur C. Clarke and the 2001 series (2001, 2010, 2061, and 3001). Read those, watched the movies that exist for the first two, loved them, read more Clarke, and now I'm off to the other sci-fi great, Isaac Asimov. In fact, wanting to finish FF6 is actually getting in the way of all the reading I want to do. I have a big list of sci-fi, and I look forward to being immersed in books for the rest of the summer. I promise to get some writing done as well.

In other news, the webcomic is returning to regular updates this Sunday. [link]

And as for the missing answers to my last journal: 7 was Muppet Treasure Island, 9 was Hot Fuzz, and 12 was The Mark of Zorro (with Tyrone Power).

Original Character meme
1. Choose a few of your own characters.
2. Make them answer the following questions.
3. Then tag three people:
4. Feel free to go ahead and add some questions yourself!!

1: Characters
Conner: My character from a story being written by AE-chan (write more!). He works in the department of Nightmares in the Dream office kind of thing, creating and distributing nightmares. Angsty, dark, slightly demented, and formerly a self-cutter, he wishes for one thing: nothingness.

Cai: Cai is the second son of God, only not quite as awesomely nice and okay with it as the first one. He tries to ignore his duties but usually ends up bringing peace and hope to people anyway. I’m not trying to be sacrilegious, but I thought it’d be a fun character to play with.

Iften: The villain. Smart, cynical, talented (unusually, of course) with magic, and evil? Doesn’t like the labels of good and evil as he thinks they’re too simplistic, but by the standards of most people in his world, he qualifies as evil. Enjoys killing people but still understands what it means to take a life. I wanted to write a story in which the bad guy wins, and he is it.

John Brooke: Completely normal. John is married to a beautiful woman who still likes him, but doesn’t quite love him anymore. He has a daughter who sings very well, and he himself plays the bagpipes. He comes from a dream I had and he was just so small and cute I had to give him life, even though a story involving him doesn’t exist just yet.

Dr. Hart: So we come to the real reason I wanted to do this thing over again. I love Dr. Hart. I just randomly thought to myself one day, “Hey, what if there were a laboratory where some guy researched different ways to kill people?” and two seconds later there was Dr. Hart. He is awesome. Apathetic, emotionless, amoral smart-ass.

Madeline: Dr. Hart’s foil. She was hired as a lab assistant to Dr. Hart because she was studying to be a coroner and the government people he works for thought she could be useful? In all honesty, I don’t really know exactly why they hired her yet, but you can bet it wasn’t with good intentions. She cares and so clashes with Dr. Hart’s complete not giving a damn attitude and the story focuses a lot on her breakdown. Poor girl.

Okay, here we go!

2: Boy or girl?
Conner: Boy.
Cai: Boy.
Iften: Boy.
John Brooke: Boy.
Dr. Hart: Male.
Madeline: Girl.

3: How old are you?
Conner: Older than I care to remember.
Cai: Um…that’s a little tricky. So as not to break your mind, we’ll say 24.
Iften: 27.
John Brooke: 32.
Dr. Hart: 34.
Madeline: 25.

4: What's your height?
Conner: I don’t know; haven’t really bothered to measure since I was alive.
Cai: Pretty average.
Iften: Tallish, I should think.
John Brooke: I’m pretty short, actually, probably only about 5’4”.
Dr. Hart: Haven’t measured, though I suppose I should sometime.
Madeline: I’m normal height.

5: Are you a virgin?
Conner: Can’t remember.
Cai: Pppbth! Ahem. S’cuse me. I’d…better not answer that.
Iften: No.
John Brooke: I have a beautiful daughter who’s 7 named Lucrecia.
Dr. Hart: I feel no pressing reason to answer that question.
Madeline: None of your business!

6: Do you have any kids?
Conner: I hope not, and if so, they’re long dead, like I should be.
Cai: *chuckles harder and doesn’t answer*
Iften: No.
John Brooke: Uh, whoops, answered that question too early. Sorry.
Dr. Hart: No.
Madeline: No.

7: What's your favorite food?
Conner: Licorice.
Cai: Alcohol.
Iften: Fruit of any kind.
John Brooke: Chocolate. *smiles sheepishly*
Dr. Hart: Green peppers.
Madeline: Really? You like green peppers? Mine is any kind of seafood. (a/n Anyone really perceptive notices Dr. Hart’s mouth twitch a little at her answer)

8: What's your favorite ice cream flavor?
Conner: Don’t eat it.
Cai: Turtle Tracks.
Iften: Black cherry.
John Brooke: Chocolate.
Dr. Hart: I don’t eat it much.
Madeline: Blue Moon.

9: Do you hate anyone?
Conner: Oh yeah. My job, my boss, my whole department, myself…
Cai: No, not really.
Iften: Stupid people.
John Brooke: I really try not to, I do.
Dr. Hart: *merely thinks for a moment but is cut off... ]]> ~cesura http://cesura.deviantart.com/journal/17150762/ http://cesura.deviantart.com/journal/17150762/ Sun, 02 Mar 2008 14:31:14 PST [link] . The site has just undergone a major update, including character bio pics, a new banner, and even a page of the comic itself. It's not the most fabulous comic ever (and certainly not the most fabulous art, but it does and hopefully will continue to improve), but it's there. Enjoy!

Firstly, Endzone is (long) finished, and I don't know that I ever declared my allegiance to the Climber, who belongs to . Seriously, check out Climber's Endzone journey. To the end of my eternal love for Climber, I'm trying to join but they haven't noted me back yet. In fact, they don't seem too have been online for quite some time, but oh well. I love the Climber! (Just to clarify: everyone who participated in Endzone was amazing, and I love Dood too, and they both totally deserved to win.) First order of business: DONE.

Nextly, I am writing stuffs, I just haven't been doing a lot of typing/posting lately. I think what I might do is just finish typing Seasons, break it into two, maybe three section, and post it all at once. No more of this time-consuming, fragmented business that takes up so much gallery page space. I promise to work more on that soon.

Thirdly, my story-turned-comic collaboration with :AuroraExecutionchan: now has a home: [link] . There isn't much of anything up at the moment, just about the authors, story, and whatnot. Pages will follow next time I'm home with my scanner, so you might want to wait a couple more weeks before checking it out.

A friend of mine has introduced me to the most wonderful place on earth: ZenCha tea house. They have about a hundred kinds of tea. It is AMAZING. Nuff said. (Except for this: Russian Caravan ROCKS; it smells and tastes like a campfire. Awesome, yes?)

I think that's about it. If I think of anything else, I'll probably just keep it in my head and not say anything. Later.

1: Characters
Jack Seraph: Pirate from my story "Pirate" who was conceived as a complete rip-off of my hero Jack Sparrow and somehow developed his own personality and story along the way. I like it when that happens.
Sil: From my story Special Effects, to possible be posted here in the future. Conceived as a complete rip-off of the amazing Neil Stephenson's Jack Shaftoe from the incredible Baroque Cycle. Intelligent vagabond who is going (gone?) crazy.
Aveline: Also from Special Effects, this time ripped off from the character of Eliza in the Baroque Cycle. Seriously, read them.
Dante: This is to please AE-chan. From my story Bloodstone, in progress. Mysterious, cold, and aloof, this guy is hiding some serious skeletons in his, um, chapel.
Riven: From a small RPG done between AE-chan and I. He's the mayor of a town, but would much rather spend his time researching magic, at which he is skilled, and reading...anything. Doesn't eat or sleep much, but stays well hydrated.
The Piper: The eponymous hero of a story posted in my very gallery. I'm hoping he needs no introduction.
Gaia: The second female in the group, from the story Seasons. You haven't met her yet, but you know who she is. On the list since Rigel doesn't talk, and I wanted someone else from a story posted here.
Gull: Hero of my short comic in my gallery. Undead and in love with the sea, Gull prefers to take each day as it comes, even if it comes with him being locked in a cell. Phew.

2: Boy or girl?
Jack: Boy, obviously.
Sil: Um, boy. Why?
Aveline: Come, Sil, don't be so suspicious. I am female, thank you.
Dante: Man.
Riven: What was that? I was reading. Oh. I'm a guy.
The Piper: Dude.
Gaia: Girl.
Gull: Undead, and a guy.

3: How old are you?
Jack: 26? 26 or 27.
Sil: Same as the guy above. Really.
Aveline: 24.
Dante: Older than you think. (author's voice there; I really haven't decided on an age yet, but he's old. Something about being frozen for some time.)
Riven: 33.
The Piper: 18.
Gaia: Um...I don't think this really applies to me, but I am much younger than Rigel.
Gull: I haven't the foggiest. Stopped keeping track long ago.

4:What's you height?
Jack: Never measured, but I think I'm pretty average.
Sil: Wow, this guy above me and I would get along great, I think. Heh, see above.
Aveline: You're tall-ish, Sil. And I'm 5'7".
Dante: Tall.
Riven: You know, I don't really know. I'd guess maybe 5'10".
The Piper: About the height of a normal 18 year old, I should think.
Gaia: I consider myself rather short, actually. Maybe 5'6"?
Gull: I'm short as well. We'll say same as the lady above me.

5: Are you a virgin?
Jack: *smiled with his eyes and doesn't answer*
Sil: No.
Aveline: Really? You never told me that. And don't even say I never asked, because I know you're thinking it. No, but I'd rather not discuss it.
Dante: *doesn't answer, just looks at you coldly* (author's note, yes he is, but he doesn't answer such personal questions)
Riven: No. (I just decided this now, but it's nothing big for him.)
The Piper: *snorts* Yeah.
Gaia: Um...I guess so.
Gull: Feh. *smiles*

6: Do you have any kids?
Jack: No, I don't think so, but that would be rather interesting.
Sil: God, I should hope not.
Aveline: Not yet, but I hope to some day, and Sil, you would be a terrible father. (Sil agrees)
Dante: No.
Riven: Um, no...
The Piper: See above.
Gaia: Yes, many. They are my children the human race.
Gull: *erupts into a fit of laughter*

7: What's your favorite food?
Jack: Pears and bananas.
Sil: I'm just happy when I eat.
Aveline: I have a weakness for chocolate.
Dante: Wine.
Riven: Food?
The Piper: Tea.
Gaia: Fresh air.
Gull: I don't really need to eat, but I like fish.

8: What's your favorite ice cream flavor?
Jack: Tooty-frooty aka Super Kid.
Sil: Aw man, I haven't had ice cream since I was a kid. Pistachio.
Aveline: Pistachio? Ew. Chocolate. (Sil says "boooooring")
Dante: What's ice cream?
Riven: I like shaved ice, personally.
The Piper: Cookie dough.
Gaia: Green tea.
Gull: Cake batter.... ]]> ~cesura http://cesura.deviantart.com/journal/15734684/ http://cesura.deviantart.com/journal/15734684/ Fri, 30 Nov 2007 12:50:28 PST 2. An American release of the Spaced series collector's box set (look it up on veoh.com. It's hilarious.)
3. Danny Elfman singing the part of the Phantom in POTO. (No really. I think it would be really cool. He has a beautiful and unique voice, and he's great at emoting.)
4. Those greedy corporate bastards give the writer's their due and end this stupid strike.
5. A rush of inspiration for the story I've been writing for Dark-Angel20's challenege for ages.
6. A camera made that can capture images exactly as the human eye perceives them.
7. A serious effort toward green sources of energy.
8. The American economy to not collapse before Bush leaves office.
9. And I would LOVE to not have to stare at my computer for hours trying to write this EALL paper.

CHRISTMAS BREAK IN FOUR DAYS!!!!

EDIT: Go to AuroraExecutionchan's page (she watches me) and read Wasteland, an awesome story about the people of the Trojan War. She's threatening non-continuation unless people comment and until I talk her out it, she needs all the comments she can get.

P.S. Hoping to work on some drawings tomorrow and hoping they'll be more than just crappy line-art. Hoping.
