Now, I could whip up a flowing text explanation of this like I did in the last post, but since I had such an easy time throwing it out on IRC I figure I can just give you some copypasta some of the log for you.
Opening theme song: Super Driver
Of Haruhi S2 fame.
Yeah.
Hit the break for the idea itself.

Ok, so I’ve got you another story idea. This one is actually one I came up with over a year ago, but have kept to myself so far. I figured “what the hell”, since in writing this down I’m also doing myself the favor of further developing the story and its world.
You’ll find the whole thing after the break. It’s 1300 words worth of writing.

Fireflies, by Owl City, is a very good song.
But not only is it a good song, it is also one that really needs to be used for a Touhou music video, centering around the idea that Gensoukyo is the dream-construct of either Reimu or Yukari (I’m not sure which one would be best), the happy land of the girl’s dreams, where she hides from the depressing, lonely and bullied life in school.
Go find that song, listen to it and its lyrics, and try to imagine what that video would be like.
For a shot at some bonus points, do this right now. Before reading the next paragraph.
Now that that’s done with, if you imagined your girl of choice keeping some fireflies in a jar by means of drawing them and going on to create proper works from it, essentially creating the touhou fandom in the world of this video… Then you got yourself some bonus points.
Otherwise you should go back and listen to it again, because that song is fucking good.

Mission fucking accomplished.
So I figure I should put something with actual value in this post…
Oh what the hell, I’ll brainstorm something right here and now. Brace for notgood-ness.
What should I go for? A game concept could be one thing, a story idea is probably more fun to crap out here and now though.
Oh hey, right, there was that conversation earlier today on IRC. Right, ahem:
BIOTHDAY!
For most regular civilians, when they give birth their offspring are put through a process involving some unusual substances and an operation.
Now, the public explanation for this is a medical matter, something about immunity against a life-threatening substance that the earth has been ejecting into the atmosphere at regular intervals for several hundred years. Something that isn’t guaranteed to kill you right away, but make you run the risk of spontaneous death at any time in your life. Or something like that, I guess.
However! The truth is that this process is designed to suppress the capabilities of the human mind and body. It essentially puts in both physical and mental blocks, preventing the child from ever reaching his full potential.
See, last generation something drastically altered the human race, giving its offspring abilities the Old humans could hardly dream of.
Aside from the potential for vastly superior physical capabilities with much less invested effort, they also have the ability to manipulate the world around them in the strangest of ways.
… Ok, what the hell? This could actually blend really well with a story idea I’ve had since a a few years back <.<
Something in the ‘classified’ department of my head >.>
The hell, now I can’t really say anything else on this matter until I’ve worked this potential merger of ideas out (last time I did this it served to turn two very vague concepts into one really comprehensive and interesting plot.)
Oh well, I guess it just sucks to be you my dear(?), nonexistent reader.

It’s in the middle of the night.
I’ve recently come home from an awesome party.
flurk is telling me about some friend drama relating to gay pictures of Rinnosuke.
I’m practically falling asleep.
I need to get off of my ass and be creative.
I’m writing a post, so this blog isn’t devoid of activity.
What do you know? This blog has a recent post.
Here’s to a good end of the year, and to me getting off of my lazy ass.
(Ps. Does anyone actually READ this?)

Maybe that anatomy book can finally come in handy soon.

They literally say “bear-cat”.
Take a bear and make it more similar to a cat and you have the cutest bear in the world.
Good word there.

Today I have been contacted by TWO friends back in Sweden, both at approximately the same time (one of them called whilst I was chatting with the other in another room, so I missed his call. I guess that was kinda good for him, what with the outrageous international call charges.)
Both of them, in some fashion, asking if I wanted to hang out.
“Sorry, kind of in the wrong country.” :’D
Kinda funny.
Next time, Tysken.
Next time.

They have Mountain Dew here. In vending machines.
110 Yen for a 500ml Mountain Dew.
In Sweden, that’s less than you pay for 33cl of Any Soft Drink That Isn’t Mountain Dew.

You know those crane games they have in arcades? In Japan they’re almost all of the brand “UFO Catcher”.
I won at those today. Twice.
Spent 200 yen and won some really cheap digital camera on the first try.
Then I found one with K-On figurines (more specifically Azusa) and after 500 yen spent (one try costs 200 yen, three tries cost 500 yen) an employee came up to adjust the figure (moving it closer to the edge of the stick it was hanging from, as well as straightening it out) to make it easier to win.
When I thanked him in Japanese, he happily concluded that I understand a bit of Japanese.
And then he told me how to win.
I tossed in 500 more yen and won on on the third try that gave me.
Figure is worth 1100 yen (excl. shipping etc.) so I say I just saved money.
And I won at one of those crane games you aren’t supposed to win at. Hell yeah.
Then he congratulated me, gave me a plastic bag and said the he hoped I would create nice memories in Akiba.
Did I mention how awesomely nice the Japanese are?
