Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Metafalss?

Just because I could. XD

And no, viruses wouldn't typically have hymn codes (or be permitted cargo on any method of transport with electronic navigation systems), most likely, but I like to think Mir cared so much that she wangled it somehow. That, and given the already tight restrictions on name fields on plane tickets, I was amused by the idea of them attempting to fit one in.

I would have had the secondary language be Hymmnos (as opposed to French), but Hymmnos doesn't have words for the majority of the fields on there. I tried to think up close approximations, but in the end it was so unwieldy I had to abandon the idea.

Also, see how many in-references you can spot. I'll be surprised if anyone gets them all. ;)

These aren't too hard to make, so if you want one, let me know what you want on it and I'll cook something up. What to do with them? I suggest printing them and handing them over at the game store with your money, if you're actually buying in person. Or leave them on your coffee table to confuse people...

Hi! Are you mad? D:

It doesn't seem like you want to chat all that much anymore... Of course, I have been running around all over the place myself. >.<

BTW; aside from the very well done pass; I hope you also have your touristic guide and the manual of "What to do in case of encountering a IPD". ^_^

Rarutos, I'm not mad, just busy and tired. :) Believe it or not, I don't usually use AIM that much, and it takes quite a lot of energy for me to hold a conversation.

Aquagon: hmm, let's see, let's see... I have... a copy of Cosmosphere magazine (the edition on "The Dive She Really Wants"); a guidebook of Scenic Places That Might Spark Talk Topics; Grathmelding For Dummies...

Rarutos said...

Sorry... But I guess that's what happens when you're old.

Just kidding! I really should stop teasing you about that.

I hope we can chat at least once a week though. :D (although if that is even too much for you, I guess it's okay).

Ayulsa said...

I'll try and be on more. No promises, but I will do my best when I feel like I'm up to talking.

Rarutos said...

Sorry for being annoying.

My favourite part of this is "OMG SQUEE". No punctuation or anything, just an informative, factual note.

@rarutos: He's been sick; give him a break. =D He hasn't even had time to talk to his girlfriend much.

Ayulsa said...

"OMG SQUEE" is a fact about the ticket, of course. XD

Believe it or not, I'm not too hyped up about AT2 right now...and of course you guys know why.

*goes back through trans-dimensional gateway tower*

Yay! Awesome music!

I said sorry... T__T

It's not that anyone's yelling at you, Rarutos, we're just trying to explain...

But I already understood why you weren't on often... >__<

@rarutos: I'm sorry if I upset you-- I didn't mean it in a harsh way. I was just reminding you that Ayulsa's not being around was something he couldn't really help and thus it couldn't possibly be personally directed at you.

It would be sad if you thought Ayulsa didn't like you because of something he couldn't help. It would also be sad if he thought you felt disappointed because of something he couldn't help, or felt guilty that you were disappointed even though there was nothing he could do about it. So I just thought it would be good if we all had a reminder that it was no one's fault.

@rarutos:

I wanted to make sure you knew that we didn't want to make you feel bad, so I crafted you a hymn.

"Cherishing the snowfall":

Was ki ra crannidale rre diasee whou haf wase murfanare wis la yanyaue walasye
(I will concentrate in believing that the children of God that have strong feelings are most important people)

en whou diasee firle eetor oz murfanare oure wis li inferiare walasye
(and that the children of God that feel the feelings of others more than anything are the most beloved people)

Was ki ra melenas gral oz diasee yanje... van fandel wis diasee
(I will concentrate in loving all of them forever... even if there are too many of them)

Was touwaka erra rre murfanare oz diasee re grandus yanje
(I eternally wish that their feelings be protected)

Was au ga knawa sor nnoi walaen rol mea na arsye gral inna oz walasye wis
(In this transient sadness, I know that one person such as myself can't share the heart of every one)

Was quel ra yorr firle mea yanwe
(I sincerely hope that you will feel my caring)

Rarutos said...

Wow... Thank you!

It wasn't that big of a deal though... XD

But I appreciate it! :3

You're welcome. It's because... well, the song explains why. :)
