Title: Ask a Staffer - Lucky 7 Episode - Ask a Gap Edition!
Post by: Gappy on March 30, 2011, 04:07:17 PM
It has been a long, long walk through the quiet and serene Forest of the Lost, up the narrow, flower-thronged footpaths of the Singing Hills, across the heather and honeysuckle-scented Fields of Gold, until you finally reach the Flower Meadow, a beautiful, blooming boundless field of flowers set ablaze by the warm glow of the late, spring sunset. The grove of cherry blossom trees embracing the meadow fills the air with a multitude of cherry petals that dance to and thro around you as you walk across the blooming acres. Here, the world was exploding with colour, celebrating the eve of Spring.

You walk over to the only landmark on the meadow, a lone cherry blossom tree standing amidst the meadow. Here...around here....but where....?

"Oh, a sound! A smell! Is this breakfast? Or lunch? Or dessert for lasts~? The sun is gone and the moon is come, so supper time has come along~" A cheerful singsong voice echoes about in the wind. "Humans, youkai, fairy, anything really~ Hope lives even in the least, and on Hope, Oh Hope, I feast~"

"Oh, what's this? What's this? Here, here, come here, come by, please, please, don't be shy~" The playful voice sings. You look around, looking for the source of the voice. "My, my, don't be shy, do come closer and say 'hi'~" The voice invites playfully as the last of the fiery sunlight sets the cherry petals around you ablaze.

(http://img864.imageshack.us/img864/8932/gappyhappy2j.jpg)] "Hmm? Oooh, it's a guest! You're really, really, really early, you know!  The festival's still a long, long, long time away though!" The voice trills, right behind your head. You turn around and find a pair of emerald green eyes peer back into yours, accompanied by a cheerful upside down grin. Here she is, the girl in red, who dances in the flower meadow. "People call me lots of things, they can never decide, as long as I can sing it I don't mind~ You can call me Gappy, it's easy to rhyme, Happy, Yippy, All the time~" She swings around off the low branch she was hanging on and lands at your feet.

(http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/7651/gappygood.jpg) "Ah, I see, I see, I see why you're so enthusiastic! There is something, something, something you seek!" She exclaims excitedly as she skips around you. "Here, drink, sit down! Questions, you have? Answers, you want? Don't worry, I have plenty to go around!" She pours out some sake for two, hands you a cup, before twirling onto the ground and taking her seat on the festival picnic mat. "Ask then, and I will answer. Truth or lie, you decide, however."

Why did you never show us your completed NaNoWriMo novel?

(http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/2210/gappytohoho.th.jpg) Because my pet tuna ate it The Nanowrimo novel in question was stolen by German scientists Lommel and Steinkopf and field-tested in the Battle of Ypres against advancing British Soldiers. Results were reportedly astounding, as, almost immediately, the troops fell to their knees, tears of blood running down their cheeks as they gouged out their eyeballs in sheer utter horror.

Since then, it has been classified as a class S weapon of mass destruction and banned by the Geneva Convention and 7 other human rights rulings.

(Though I never told you it's also available off the records, nudge nudge, wink wink)

What is your favourite food?

(http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/3166/gappyembarassed.th.jpg)Oh! Oooh! I know! I know! Me! Me! Ummm....Sweets! Tiramisu! Chocolate! Cotton-candy! Oniic-...I mean, tunas! Pancakes! Melon bread!

Pocky! Oreos! The Universe! And Cherries.

Why did you want to be a medical professional?

(http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/3166/gappyembarassed.th.jpg) Sweets! Tiramisu! Chocolate! Cotton-candy! Pancakes! Melon bread! Flapjacks! strawberries! Scones, all the sweets I can ea....I-I-I mean, umm, because there's lots of mo-....I mean, I mean, the pharma reps are cu-...no, no, that's not it! The doctors all look co-...no, really, that's not it either!

....

(http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/9683/gappydamedesu.th.jpg)Actually, that IS a good question. The hours are long and unpaid. The pay's lousy at best in comparison to the work. Everybody thinks you're lapdogs to the big pharmaceutical companies (and in a good number of cases that's actually true), the scum of the earth (unfortunately often true too), and moneygrubbing undertakers (often just as sadly true).

I must be crazy. No, insane!

(http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/1986/gappytohoho2.th.jpg) Aaah, Mama, I wanna quit and become an investment banker.....

(http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/7651/gappygood.jpg) But, sometimes, I somehow manage to bring a little smile into the life of one who knows nothing but suffering, the old man whose relatives have forgotten, the single-mother dying of colon cancer, the Afghani war-refugee boy who tried to commit suicide......there is no other profession where I am empowered to ease the suffering of others and touch upon their lives in small, gentle ways. Everyday I come home, tired to the bone, but happy, very happy, that I've done just that little bit more for someone out there in the world. I think it's a job that will ensure me a fulfilling, happy life, such that, at the end of everything, when I close my book of life, turn out the lights and lock the door behind me, I can look back, give myself a pat on the back and say 'Job well done, Gappy', and walk away with a satisfied smile. To me, it's the greatest job in the world, and I would trade it for no other.

Typical Question:

Favorite Touhou character and why ?

(http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/7080/gappyhappy.th.jpg) Just look at my name, it's easy to see, my favourite chara is a certain Yukari Gotta catch'em all! I am rather promiscuous in that I love a good number of characters including Marisa, Alice, Suika, Suwako, Yukari, the 3 fairies, Orin, and Okuu. The others I simply like, but not as much.

(http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/3166/gappyembarassed.th.jpg) But my favouritest favourite most favourited favourite character must and can only be....

(http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/2168/ec650aec7694a800319ce51.th.jpg) (http://img577.imageshack.us/i/ec650aec7694a800319ce51.jpg/) <--- MIKO-ARMPITS

[(http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/4973/gappyahoka.th.jpg) ....wait....Miku?! NO! I SAID MIKO! MIKO-ARMPITS! Where are my mikopits?! I'm not interested in Mikupits!

[(http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/7537/749ed7eac6ece3d445aab22.th.jpg) (http://img268.imageshack.us/i/749ed7eac6ece3d445aab22.jpg/) <--- MIKO MANPITS

Yes, that's more like it. Proper MikoPits.

Why Miko-Miko Reimu? Because, Armpits

(http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/1599/gappyeaaah.jpg) (http://img820.imageshack.us/i/gappyeaaah.jpg/)

MANLINESS! THAT'S WHY! Because she's probably the manliest member of the cast, as you can see here. Manlier than Marisa, in my opinion. Why, you ask? Because she's badass, awesome, and kicks butt, for profit, for personal satisfaction, or even for as much as upsetting her tea.

What follows next is my own personal interpretation of Reimu - she is the sworn protector of Gensokyo's balance, keeper of Yukari's forcefields of doom the great Hakurei barrier, and general lazy butt miko. Her job, when you can call it that, is a thankless one. Her role as protector of the balance requires her to be just and unbiased in every respect. That includes friendships and love - she is charged with not holding any one individual above another, whether as friends or loved ones. This paints a rather tragic picture as, being (one of) Gensokyo's most powerfu, she stands alone at the top, unable to reach out to others. Often her job requires her to mercilessly beat down people around her, sometimes even her own friends, marking her as an evil bully at best, a heartless genocidal killing machine at worst. And yet she maintains that stoic, cheerful, 'devil may care' attitude on the surface. One (I) can only wonder what's really going on deep down in her heart of hearts....

LISTEN TO ME, PEOPLE OF THE ATELIER! THE HOUR OF GLORY IS FINALLY AT HAND! WE HAVE STRIVEN HARD AND LONG FOR THIS MOMENT, AND, FINALLY, OUR MOMENT OF GREATNESS IS UPON US! I BECAME YOUR ACOLYTE BECAUSE I HAD A VISION! A DREAM! THAT ONE GREAT AND MOMENTOUS DAY, WE SHALL MARCH ACROSS THE FACE OF THIS SAD, SUFFERING PLANET AND TOPPLE OVER THE OPPRESSORS OF THE PEOPLES! TOGETHER, WE SHALL LIBERATE OUR FELLOW MAN AND BUILD A UTOPIA! A UTOPIA, ONE NOT BUILT ON SLAVERY AND DECEPTION, ON LIES AND OPPRESSION, BUT ON FREEDOM, ON LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. WHAT IS THIS FREEDOM, YOU ASK?! IT IS A FAIR QUESTION. IT IS SOMETHING YOU DO NOT KNOW, YOU DO NOt UNDERSTAND, FOR IT HAS BEEN TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU, IN EVERY SHAPE AND FORM! BUT TOMORROW YOU SHALL SEE IT, MY BRETHREN AND SISTHREN! WE SHALL BE FREE TO STAY UP AS LONG AS WE WANT! WE SHALL BE FREE TO EAT COOKIES AND SWEETS BEFORE DINNERTIME! WE SHALL BE FREE TO WATCH TELEVISION FOR AS LONG AS WE LIKE! AND THERE SHALL BE NO SCHOOL! NO SCHOOL! IT SHALL BE TRUE, UNALDUTERATED FREEDOM, ONE OUR FOREFATHERS ONLY DREAMT OF!

Right.

Err....what keeps me going through the good times and the bad?

(http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/2210/gappytohoho.th.jpg) (http://img541.imageshack.us/i/gappytohoho.jpg/) As you all may know, medical school keeps me busy and away from that which I most love - art. I suppose these are the 'bad times', the times when my acolyte-ness is most tested. I guess what keeps me going is tuna-whackings from Sakana-niichan my fellow artists and musicians, whose constant dedication, hardwork and nagging on me to get my butt back to the Atelier once in a while inspire me to do my very best. More importantly, the entire community, everyone who comes by the Atelier to appreciate the fine labours of passion there, who give the work meaning and value, you, all of you, move me, inspire me to greater heights. I'm sure I speak for the rest of the Atelier here when I say that art's true value is when it is given meaning by the world. That world is you, MotK. So, Artists, Community members, keep supportin' the Atelier, Keep on Rockin' on~

What area of the medical field do you plan on going into?

(http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/3166/gappyembarassed.th.jpg) (http://img62.imageshack.us/i/gappyembarassed.jpg/) Cardiothoracic Surgery, AKA Heart Surgery~ Cause the heart is just so cuuuute, when it goes ba-dump~ ba-dump~ ba-dump~ there, in the open chest cavity, all round and pink and just so fragile yet full of importance~

You know, the heart is much like Reimu. It's so small and fragile, so alone and helpless, yet it carries such a huge burden of responsibility. It soldiers on, stoically, for years and years, without rest, without a moment of respite. Sometimes, it gets overwhelmed and it shrieks out silently for help, but nobody hears....but I'll be there for you, I'll be listening to your cries for help with my trusty stethoscope and my steadfast ECG, and I'll come save you in your hour of need, Reimu hearts~

Who is your favorite artist?

(http://img864.imageshack.us/img864/6846/gappykirakira.th.jpg) (http://img864.imageshack.us/i/gappykirakira.jpg/) ME

(http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/4973/gappyahoka.th.jpg) (http://img703.imageshack.us/i/gappyahoka.jpg/) Boy, are you implying I'm a fascist? Because Hitler's an artist. Hitler's a Fascist. Therefore, Artists are Hitlers Fascists! A = B. A = C. Therefore, B = C.

(http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/1599/gappyeaaah.th.jpg) (http://img820.imageshack.us/i/gappyeaaah.jpg/) SOOOOO?! ARE YOU?! ARE YOU?! COME ON, SAY IT TO MY FACE!

(http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/2210/gappytohoho.th.jpg) (http://img541.imageshack.us/i/gappytohoho.jpg/) Anyway, my favourite artist is my elder brother who sweeps the floor with the competition....which, sadly, includes me....

Despite the board split, do you think that PSL and AAA are really that separate?

(http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/1599/gappyeaaah.th.jpg) (http://img820.imageshack.us/i/gappyeaaah.jpg/) THEY ARE ONE! UNDER ME! SAKANA-NIICHAN, I WILL ONE DAY RECLAIM WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY MINE!

(http://img864.imageshack.us/img864/8932/gappyhappy2j.th.jpg) (http://img864.imageshack.us/i/gappyhappy2j.jpg/) Writers and artists are essentially the same in many respects, for example they both are geeks, thrive off BS, charge extravagant amounts of money for BS, live large off BS, they both seek to express their feelings, emotions and creativity, in essence, their very soul, in a physical undertaking of some description. I myself am both, and I feel both are excellent outlets for my...

(http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/1599/gappyeaaah.th.jpg) (http://img820.imageshack.us/i/gappyeaaah.jpg/) ....FIERY BURNING MANLY SOUL MADE OF MANLY MANLINESS THAT SHALL ONE DAY NOT ONLY PIERCE THE HEAVENS BUT ALSO PUT A NOSE RING THROUGH IT, TAME IT, THEN MILK IT FOR PROFIT.

(http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/7080/gappyhappy.th.jpg) (http://img695.imageshack.us/i/gappyhappy.jpg/) But I personally approve of the separation. Artists and Writers both take pride in their work and the separate boards allows them their own identities, acknowledgement and appreciation that they are an art form unto themselves, which will, one hopes, inspire them to greater greatness and PROFIT.

Why is Sakana your favorite?

(http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/7651/gappygood.th.jpg) (http://img546.imageshack.us/i/gappygood.jpg/) I live by Reimu's philosophy of being as impartial as I can. I avoid favouritism when I can. As such, I wouldn't say he's a favourite... But I can't deny that Sakana's a close friend and confidant.

(http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/3166/gappyembarassed.th.jpg) (http://img62.imageshack.us/i/gappyembarassed.jpg/) He's my dear E-Niichan, and with good reason. He's that rare species of gentleman who is always kind, thoughtful, selfless and persevering.

(http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/4886/tunaokay.th.jpg) (http://img854.imageshack.us/i/tunaokay.jpg/) *sniffle* Teeheehee, I wonder who's talking about me~

(http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/3166/gappyembarassed.th.jpg) (http://img62.imageshack.us/i/gappyembarassed.jpg/) He is courteous and polite to everyone, particularly to ladies. And yet he manages to do it naturally, with no sense of pretentiousness about him.I might even go so far as to say that he's one of the manliest manly men I've ever met so far.

(http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/5128/tunaahaha.th.jpg) (http://img35.imageshack.us/i/tunaahaha.jpg/) Ehehehee, lollipops~ cheese cakes~ Pumpin pies too~ Food don't rhyme, but neither do I, chocolate~ montblancs~ cupcakes~

(http://img812.imageshack.us/img812/6707/gappyerrr.th.jpg) (http://img812.imageshack.us/i/gappyerrr.jpg/) He goes to great lengths to help friends in need, no matter how thankless it may be, and.....err......and....he's....she's...not rhyming....err....

On a scale of crawfish to tuna, salmon being the median, how much do you enjoy a well balanced breakfast?

(http://img864.imageshack.us/img864/6846/gappykirakira.th.jpg) Tuna!

(http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/9581/tunawawawa.th.jpg) W-whaah?!

(http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/7651/gappygood.th.jpg) (http://img546.imageshack.us/i/gappygood.jpg/) It depends really, how much time I have. But a good day invariably starts with a good breakfast, as such, I like having a good balance of food when I can get it.

(http://img863.imageshack.us/img863/6553/tunahappy.th.jpg) (http://img863.imageshack.us/i/tunahappy.jpg/) Food? Yay! Let's have food! *Goes and rummages in the picnic basket*

(http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/3166/gappyembarassed.th.jpg) (http://img62.imageshack.us/i/gappyembarassed.jpg/) I like to have toasted earth, smeared with sun-jam and moon-terine, maybe some asteroid belt cereal with milky way....and I also enjoy  nice hot Mars pancakes~

(http://img862.imageshack.us/img862/2830/gappybleh.th.jpg) (http://img862.imageshack.us/i/gappybleh.jpg/) Anything, really. Just keep those awful black hole puddings away from me.

(http://img21.imageshack.us/img21/2431/gappyraaah.th.jpg) (http://img21.imageshack.us/i/gappyraaah.jpg/) WHAT?!

How Happy could A Cappy wearing Gappy reading a Mappy get, if the Cappy wearing Gappy looked rather Dappy whilst resting upon the Lappy of a Yappy Chappy?
Or was that question simply Crappy?

(http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/4973/gappyahoka.th.jpg) (http://img703.imageshack.us/i/gappyahoka.jpg/) Bro, that was, like, so crappy, y'know, that I, like, actually smelled the crap, y'know. And, phew, it smells like rotten tuna roadkill on a hot, humid night in inside Purvis' hobo can(TM) in 'Nam.

(http://img864.imageshack.us/img864/1928/tunawaaah.th.jpg) (http://img864.imageshack.us/i/tunawaaah.jpg/) W-waaah, I-I'm s-sorry, G-Gappy-chaaan. I-I didn't think we'd miss that last chopper if we stayed back to loot all those big dead people...

(http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/7080/gappyhappy.th.jpg) (http://img695.imageshack.us/i/gappyhappy.jpg/) That's okay, Oneechan, you're still cute.

(http://img858.imageshack.us/img858/6917/tunauwaaaah.th.jpg) (http://img858.imageshack.us/i/tunauwaaaah.jpg/) R-Really? *Sniffle* Y-yaaay!

(http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/7080/gappyhappy.th.jpg) (http://img695.imageshack.us/i/gappyhappy.jpg/) Anyway, you want to know what a Cappy wearing a Gappy looking rather Dappy while resting on the Lappy of a Yappy Chappy?

(http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/1599/gappyeaaah.th.jpg) (http://img820.imageshack.us/i/gappyeaaah.jpg/) THE CAPPY WHO STOLE OUR FESTIVAL FOOD WILL BE GETTING A BIG CAPPY UP CRAP CREEK WHEN I GET HIM TO WEAR MY GAPPY-SPECIAL. HE'LL LOOK VERY, VERY DAPPY WHEN I FINISH WITH HIM, SO MUCH SO THAT THE ONLY LAPPY HE'D BE ABLE TO FIT INTO IS THAT OF THAT RATHER YAPPY GRIM REAPER CHAPPY. HE'LL BE SO DAPPY HE'LL BE THE ONLY CAPPY IN THE AFTERLIFE TO LOOK OH SO DAPPY!

(http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/7080/gappyhappy.th.jpg) (http://img695.imageshack.us/i/gappyhappy.jpg/)And he'll be quite unhappy too.

I know almost nothing about you except one time I remember you ranting about TOO MANY DAMN KIDS or the like.  That said, what's your family situation like?

(http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/7651/gappygood.th.jpg) (http://img546.imageshack.us/i/gappygood.jpg/) Family? I don't have one. I was, am, and always will be. Causa Causans. The closest thing I have to a family are the ever-watchful stars and the ever-guiding moon, the rejuvenating rays of the first east sun and the wayward west spring wind, as well as what could be called brothers and sisters, the likes of Fenrir and Cthulhu, Sakana and Erebus.

(http://img864.imageshack.us/img864/8932/gappyhappy2j.th.jpg) (http://img864.imageshack.us/i/gappyhappy2j.jpg/) Oh, wait, you mean THE Family. Just a moment, I'm in the middle of calling them right now.

(http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/1599/gappyeaaah.th.jpg) (http://img820.imageshack.us/i/gappyeaaah.jpg/) Because I'm the main character and I'm about to kick some poor sod's face in for stealing all our food!

You must defeat me! Only then will I experience a change of heart, see things from your perspective, and join your cause and become your nakama!

(http://img864.imageshack.us/img864/287/tunaohoh.th.jpg) (http://img864.imageshack.us/i/tunaohoh.jpg/) Wait....doesn't that mean I have to fight everyone and resolve this incident....?

What happened to that one personal manga/doujin you were working on like a year ago (or more?)

(http://img864.imageshack.us/img864/287/tunaohoh.th.jpg) (http://img864.imageshack.us/i/tunaohoh.jpg/) Oh, oh, Gappy-chan's still away in LalaLand! Ummm....I'll answer this! Gappy-chan's manga.....ummm....oh yes! Someone named 'Wal....Wally....Poor Wally....Walpoor...Geese.....Poor Wall Geese.......WALPURGIS! Yes, WALPURGIS! Walpurgis something....Walpurgis food.....Walpurgis breakfast.....Walpurgis morning....Oh, Walpurgis Night! That's it! Walpurgis-Night-san borrowed it for something or other! I think someone named Q....Qball....
Kyubey! Kyubey-san
asked for a favour! They mentioned something about.....N-trophies....and creating witches of mass destruction?

(http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/5128/tunaahaha.th.jpg) (http://img35.imageshack.us/i/tunaahaha.jpg/) Sounds like fun~

(http://img854.imageshack.us/img854/4886/tunaokay.th.jpg) (http://img854.imageshack.us/i/tunaokay.jpg/)....Though I hope we get it back in one piece....

(http://img856.imageshack.us/img856/9683/gappydamedesu.th.jpg) (http://img856.imageshack.us/i/gappydamedesu.jpg/) *mutter mutter mutter* I swear I'll finish it one day! *mumble mumble mumble*

(http://img215.imageshack.us/img215/4240/tunaorly.th.jpg) (http://img215.imageshack.us/i/tunaorly.jpg/) Oh, Gappy-chan....the witches of mass destruction, the N-trophies, your sleep, or maybe the 1Up cake you promised me~?

Even with a future in medical service, are you planning to pursue writing/drawing on the side as a source of profit as well?

(http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/7145/tunaoh.th.jpg) (http://img151.imageshack.us/i/tunaoh.jpg/) O-oh....G-Gappy-chan, a-are you okay?

(http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/7080/gappyhappy.th.jpg) (http://img695.imageshack.us/i/gappyhappy.jpg/) That's okay, Sakana-neechama. You're still cute.

(http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/6227/tunaawww.th.jpg) (http://img821.imageshack.us/i/tunaawww.jpg/) Teehehehehe~

(http://img864.imageshack.us/img864/6846/gappykirakira.th.jpg) (http://img864.imageshack.us/i/gappykirakira.jpg/) Did someone say PROFIT?

(http://img863.imageshack.us/img863/6553/tunahappy.th.jpg) (http://img863.imageshack.us/i/tunahappy.jpg/) Oh, there was a question while you were sleeping off the tuna, Gappy-chan.

(http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/7651/gappygood.th.jpg) (http://img546.imageshack.us/i/gappygood.jpg/) Oh, groovy. Hmmm, DA commissions and novel honorariums aside, I write and draw mainly as a hobby. Yes, even medical students can have their fun. Sure, the money I earn from it is useful in supplementing my tuition fees and living expenses as well as providing me with a nifty source of snack money spending money, but money isn't the end-all. I enjoy writing and drawing what I like, when I like.

(http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/2210/gappytohoho.th.jpg) (http://img541.imageshack.us/i/gappytohoho.jpg/) Having my creativity shackled by customers and the publishers makes it more a chore than anything. My advice to you aspiring writers - unless you're desperate for money, don't become a contract writer. Publishers are slave-drivers who prefer OMGNINJASOUTOFNOWHERE to actual content.

(http://img864.imageshack.us/img864/8932/gappyhappy2j.th.jpg) (http://img864.imageshack.us/i/gappyhappy2j.jpg/)So, will I pursue it for profit? If I make enough money to live comfortably, maybe not. I wanna have fun drawing and writing after all~ And that's not the only thing I'm pursuing right now. We have a food thief to pursue!

(http://img864.imageshack.us/img864/6846/gappykirakira.th.jpg) (http://img864.imageshack.us/i/gappykirakira.jpg/) Oh, wait....Writing + Drawing = Profit. Sakana = Writing. Gappy = Drawing. Therefore...

(http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/1599/gappyeaaah.th.jpg) (http://img820.imageshack.us/i/gappyeaaah.jpg/) GAPPY + SAKANA = SOURCE OF PROFIT! QUICK, SAKANA-NEECHAMA, WE MUST GATTAI!

No offense, but I have to agree with this. The purpose of these sessions is to give people a good idea of who's actually behind the scary internet mask. I'm not saying you can't make jokes (Sakana-chaaaaaaaan~ I'm gonna take you home~) but the point's not to give us a clue of your internet persona, but a clue about you.

Only as far as the person questioned is willing to reveal info. There is absolutely no obligation to answer personal questions.
And if you would care to read the answers so far, the only question outright not answered was about the family-situation. All other questions had their answers within the skits, and not even subtle. Or do you honestly want to tell me the answers about the medical profession etc. were "internet persona"?

I'm kinda baffled as to what people are expecting here.

No offense but this isn't your thread and you are not the person being interviewed.  If you don't like the manner the questions are being answered then don't ask. 

The person being interviewed has the right to answer the question in the manner they see fit, and they can pick and choose based on their discretion which questions to answer.  If you don't like it tough, you're not the one on the hotseat.

Right, apologies. Just that the answering method here is pretty different from the sort we had in the last 6 episodes, and I figured it was for the most part a quite formal venture.

It can but it doesn't have to be.  The idea is to get to know people you may only know through a professional manner.  It's completely up to the interviewee to decide how they wish for that to happen, as well as what questions to take on.

If you watch one of the great interviewers, they will intentionally invoke the character qualities of the person they're interviewing in order to ge sides you can't just describe with words.

This is an interview, not a Congressional hearing I guess is the point I want to get across.

Why am I your favorite?

(http://img864.imageshack.us/img864/6846/gappykirakira.th.jpg) (http://img864.imageshack.us/i/gappykirakira.jpg/) Because you've just exploded and coughed up power-ups and score-multipliers....well, not much, but decent. Enough to help me lay waste to more of your kind.

(http://img864.imageshack.us/img864/1928/tunawaaah.th.jpg) (http://img864.imageshack.us/i/tunawaaah.jpg/) G-G-Gappy-chaaan....w-who....w-what....where....?

(http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/8621/gapyway.th.jpg) (http://img156.imageshack.us/i/gapyway.jpg/) Looks like your head ran into an anonymous fairy.

(http://img864.imageshack.us/img864/1928/tunawaaah.th.jpg) (http://img864.imageshack.us/i/tunawaaah.jpg/) B-but....i-it was sitting...in a REALLY HARD metal drum....

(http://img864.imageshack.us/img864/8932/gappyhappy2j.th.jpg) (http://img864.imageshack.us/i/gappyhappy2j.jpg/) It was a hobo fairy. A VERY hobo fairy.

(http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/7651/gappygood.th.jpg) (http://img546.imageshack.us/i/gappygood.jpg/) His name's Purvis, yet another good friend. To reiterate, I don't play favourites, but I will admit to having good, close friends I can enjoy openly chatting with. Purvis is one of them. He's also in possession of one of those rare breeds of humour that I myself enjoy partaking in. Sharing my sense of humour automatically makes him cool, by definition. Long story short, he's a glorious bastard, and I enjoy his company. 

What do you think is the largest problem the forum ever dealt with?

(http://desmond.imageshack.us/Himg51/scaled.php?server=51&filename=gappytohoho2.jpg&res=gal)Today, exactly 1 year ago, comes to mind quite readily. I still haven't forgiven myself. I didn't pull off a single April Fool's joke today. I've learned my lesson. I won't dig it up from its grave deep in some forgotten trench at the bottom of the Ocean of Stupid E-Drama. If you're horribly, insatiably curious, I'm afraid you'll just have to deal with the curiosity in the best way you can, as I'm sure the rest of the staff members here wouldn't touch the topic with a 5-foot-long tuna.

(http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/7080/gappyhappy.th.jpg) (http://img695.imageshack.us/i/gappyhappy.jpg/)  Now, there WAS a bigger problem, but I think we've just disposed of it.

(http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/6069/tunaooooh.th.jpg) (http://img218.imageshack.us/i/tunaooooh.jpg/) Really, we did?

(http://img864.imageshack.us/img864/8932/gappyhappy2j.th.jpg) (http://img864.imageshack.us/i/gappyhappy2j.jpg/)Yes, using your head, and....

(http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/917/doctorportrait.png) I see, this is acute demasking syndrome with underlying underlying sea weasel elbow. I will prescribe a homeopathic remedy made up of diluted masked sea weasels. That'll be 100,000 pix, in unmarked bills please. I will send you the bill.

(http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/4070/gappytohoho3.th.jpg) (http://img840.imageshack.us/i/gappytohoho3.jpg/) No, doctor, it's okay. I don't normally wear a mask, neither online or in real life.

(http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/917/doctorportrait.png)What, you don't have 100,000 pix in unmarked bills to pay for my new pimped up ride and swank new crib this modest medical bill?

(http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/1986/gappytohoho2.th.jpg) (http://img51.imageshack.us/i/gappytohoho2.jpg/) No, I just don't have the stomach for sea weasels. Last time I had them, the Russians had to mop up Chernobyl. With a giant concrete mop.

(http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/917/doctorportrait.png) Do you always evade questions with such poor excuse for wit?

(http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/7080/gappyhappy.th.jpg) (http://img695.imageshack.us/i/gappyhappy.jpg/) It sounds better and less offputting than 'no, I'm not answering your question because it's too personal.'

(http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/6425/rurowhat.th.jpg) (http://img69.imageshack.us/i/rurowhat.jpg/) You there, the red Gappy one! Your crime is.....your crime is.....You're so cute, you're a walking sin! This crime shall not go unpunished!

(http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/7080/gappyhappy.th.jpg) (http://img695.imageshack.us/i/gappyhappy.jpg/) It's okay, Sakana-neechama, you're not only cute, you're VERY CUTE, so it's not a crime~ *petpets Sakana-neechama*

(http://img858.imageshack.us/img858/6917/tunauwaaaah.th.jpg) (http://img858.imageshack.us/i/tunauwaaaah.jpg/) R-really? ehehehehe~

(http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/7651/gappygood.th.jpg) (http://img546.imageshack.us/i/gappygood.jpg/) It's a crime because....

How come your art is so cute?

(http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/1599/gappyeaaah.th.jpg) (http://img820.imageshack.us/i/gappyeaaah.jpg/).....BECAUSE MOE IS THE ULTIMATE EXPRESSION OF MANLY MANLINESS MADE OF MANLINESS, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT KICKS YOUR FACE IN! WHILE ON FIRE!

(http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/9581/tunawawawa.th.jpg) (http://img23.imageshack.us/i/tunawawawa.jpg/) Gappy-chaaaan, th-that makes no s-sense!

(http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/2210/gappytohoho.th.jpg) (http://img541.imageshack.us/i/gappytohoho.jpg/) ]I'll tell you what the real crime is....I used to draw bishonen-style shoujo art....that's beautiful guys and useless girls with triangular chins, sparkling eyes and a backdrop of roses for those of you not in the know. Those were the blissful happy fangirl days, before my fellow fangirls graduated from innocence and evolved into yaoi fangirls.  ToyaxYukito anyone? No thanks. I found that shonen bishojo style art was more....well....neutral. Read: really, really cute girls and cool action guys. Neutral, or, at the very least, yuri fanboys aren't as rabid and not as many can draw. So I've stuck with shonen manga bishoujo-loving communities since, and my art style has reflected that.

(http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/3166/gappyembarassed.th.jpg) (http://img62.imageshack.us/i/gappyembarassed.jpg/)....but mostly because the style really, really cute~<3

If it's high-priced, why ae you charging so low?

(http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/2210/gappytohoho.th.jpg) (http://img541.imageshack.us/i/gappytohoho.jpg/) Because it's the recession, people, especially mikos, are unemployed and poor, having to resort to waylaying innocent people...

(http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/3585/rurodameee.th.jpg) (http://img853.imageshack.us/i/rurodameee.jpg/)Hey!

(http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/3166/gappyembarassed.th.jpg) (http://img62.imageshack.us/i/gappyembarassed.jpg/)....and I'm generous, with a heart of gold....

(http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/1599/gappyeaaah.th.jpg) AND FISTS OF STEEL. I HOLD NO PRISONERS AND GIVE NO CHANGE! IF U CAN'T PAY, U R SISSYYYYYYYYYYY!

What's your most dominant persona? The man of steel or the motherly moegap?

(http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/4136/rurosigh.th.jpg) (http://img713.imageshack.us/i/rurosigh.jpg/) Dear me, red Gap, are you always so....passionately and wetly disarticulate? For a moment there I thought it was raining. That is certainly a crime.

(http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/7651/gappygood.th.jpg) (http://img546.imageshack.us/i/gappygood.jpg/) You may not suspect this, but my true aspiration IRL is to become the greatest, most awesome motherly mother ever. I was raised by the best, most awesome parents in the universe. They are my role models, the very image of what I aspire to become - a loving and dependable mother, a wise and steadfast teacher, and a friendly and loyal friend. As such, IRL, I do my best to be friendly, outgoing, caring and compassionate, responsible and dependable, both at home and out in the community. My ultimate goal in life is to raise a big, awesome and happy family like my parents did for us~

(http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/7080/gappyhappy.th.jpg) (http://img695.imageshack.us/i/gappyhappy.jpg/)....but, when anyone, anything stands between me and huggling anything cute threatens those that I hold precious, dares even touch those I love.....

(http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/1599/gappyeaaah.th.jpg) I SHALL SHOW THEM ALL WHAT A DRILL CAN DO OTHER THAN PIERCE THE HEAVENS! MAN OF STEEL?! MAN OF STEEEEEEEEEEL?! STEEL IS ALSO KNOWN AS SISSYIUM! REAL MEN LIKE ME ARE MADE OF DISTILLED LOOOOOOOVE AND TWICE-REFINED RAAAAAAAAAAAGE AND PURE UNDILUTED UNALDUTERATED MANLY MANLINESS MADE OF MANLY MANLINESS!

(http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/7994/tunawaaah3.th.jpg) (http://img18.imageshack.us/i/tunawaaah3.jpg/) B-but, G-Gappy-chaaan, for the last time, y-you're not a maaaaaaan! I-I'm scaaaaaared!

(http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/4136/rurosigh.th.jpg) (http://img713.imageshack.us/i/rurosigh.jpg/)....I'm not after your precious friends though....I'm only after you....

What's with the reasoning behind your name?

(http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/1599/gappyeaaah.th.jpg) They don't call me Gappy for nothing! I will tell you why they call me Gappy!

(http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/4136/rurosigh.th.jpg) (http://img713.imageshack.us/i/rurosigh.jpg/) We don't care....

(http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/6929/gappyoooh.th.jpg) (http://img153.imageshack.us/i/gappyoooh.jpg/)Deep down, within the deepest, darkest bowels of London, lurks a monstrous creature of deepest darkest evil. It is formless, dark, and it devours anything and anyone, from cellphones and pens to careless man's legs to whole unattended children and the occasional suicidal maniac. It is known as the 'Gap'. Anything that falls into its dark, bottomless gullet never sees the light of day again. The great keepers of the dark wards, the 'Tube Workers', attempted to set up a mighty seal with the hopes of warding off the evil Gap. This seal manifested itself as 'Mind-The-Gap', the sign to end all signs. For one reason or another, I was named after that ward, Mind-The-Gap. But as you can imagine, it's an unwieldly name for the common tongue, and thus people have started calling me a variety of nicknames. 'MTG' was the first - I came up with that myself. Later on, around June last year, TranceHime and Ruro started calling me 'Gapster', and a little while later AF, Anthony, Moerin and Solais started calling me 'Gappy'. 'Gappy' stuck for some reason, and I've more or less been 'Gappy' ever since.

(http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/3585/rurodameee.th.jpg) Which part of 'We don't care' do you not understand?!

(http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/1599/gappyeaaah.th.jpg) Enough talk. We have delayed your demise long enough!

(http://img218.imageshack.us/img218/6069/tunaooooh.th.jpg)But you didn't have one before becoming our nakama.

(http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/917/doctorportrait.png)I'm just that good, the dramafyings couldn't afford my rates.

What do you think of The Library and its Librarians? Being related to one of them seems like it may give you a biased response, but we'll overlook that nepotism and take your reply completely and totally at face-value with no snark or between-the-line readings~

(http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/7080/gappyhappy.th.jpg)*Lies in a crater, staring up at the sky* Hey.....you know what?

(http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/4136/rurosigh.th.jpg)*Is lying in the same crater beside Gappy, similarly staring up at the sky* What?

(http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/7651/gappygood.th.jpg)I don't actually hate the library and its librarians.

(http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/6739/ruroyay.th.jpg) (http://img171.imageshack.us/i/ruroyay.jpg/) ...Hah....I don't actually hate the Atelier and its artists either.

(http://img864.imageshack.us/img864/8932/gappyhappy2j.th.jpg)You probably don't know this, this is probably a little-known fact, but I was the proto-librarian, the first dedicated mod for the library back before it was even called 'Patchouli's Scarlet LIbrary'. It was an easy task, considering the writers were (and are still) an easygoing, mild-mannered bunch.....

(http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/5277/rurowink.th.jpg) (http://img853.imageshack.us/i/rurowink.jpg/)....so you were one of us once....so you can't be all that bad, for an artist...

(http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/1599/gappyeaaah.th.jpg)....with a few exceptions.....which I tend to CRUSH MERCILESSLY UNDER MY AWESOMELY AWESOME MANLINESS.

(http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/4136/rurosigh.th.jpg)I take that back. You're sinful scum, through and through.

(http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/3166/gappyembarassed.th.jpg)I am a writer myself, and while I haven't properly dabbled in Touhou fanfiction, I have personally experienced the pride and joy in sharing my work with fellow enthusiasts. Having a place you can call your own, wherein you can meet like-minded people who understand and shares your passions, to have a home and community that fosters creativity and appreciates passion....that is truly priceless. The library is an amazing place, not just because it's a repository of great works, but mainly because it brings together all the librarians and the writers together, forging a close, warm community that thrives on creativity and passion. It is simply inspiring to say the least.

Why don't you post more often/come into IRC more often? :qq:

(http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/2210/gappytohoho.th.jpg)I'm actually around on IRC a lot, hanging out in the library and in the Atelier.

How did you end up on Motk?

(http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/7651/gappygood.th.jpg)You know, I first came over to MotK about 2 years ago now in search of playtesters for a Touhou Tabletop RPG I was writing with a friend at the time. Somehow, I ended up starting a Forum RPG entitled 'Waking Up From the Dream', the premise of which was the untimely collapse of the Great Hakurei Barrier and a mass exodus of Touhous into the outside world, with the players being outsiders stranded in Gensokyo just prior to the event who are then tasked with becoming 'mana batteries' to keep the mana-dependent Touhous alive in the outside world. Much like how they became stuck in the outside world, I've since become stuck here. Oh, interestingly, we're restarting that Forum RPG, actually....

(http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/8995/rurofuwaa.th.jpg) (http://img840.imageshack.us/i/rurofuwaa.jpg/)I first came here back when....

(http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/4973/gappyahoka.th.jpg)Shut up, this isn't your interview.

(http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/5342/rurohohe.th.jpg) (http://img291.imageshack.us/i/rurohohe.jpg/) But it's our enemy empathy event thing! We have to open our hearts to each other in order to accept one another as nakama forged in the fires of battle!

(http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/7080/gappyhappy.th.jpg)Ssshh, you're doin' it wrong, you're ruining our empathy moment. Now, shush, and listen to teacher~

When making a moderation decision on a problem, how do you approach it?

(http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/7080/gappyhappy.th.jpg)The first, most important thing is to avoid confrontation, or escalation thereof, and establish a relationship of cooperation with the person in question.

(http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/917/doctorportrait.png)As the wise man says, you destroy your enemies when you make them your friends.

(http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/1599/gappyeaaah.th.jpg)Yes, DESTROY THEM UTTERLY AND COMPLETELY, CRUSH THEIR WILL TO OPPOSE YOU, TWIST THEIR MINDS TO YOUR CAUSE, AND USE THEM AS MINIONS TO SUBJUGATE MORE ENEMIES TO YOUR CAUSE!

(http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/917/doctorportrait.png)*Eyes Ruro* Accomplished.

(http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/3585/rurodameee.th.jpg)H-hey....

(http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/3610/tunanonono.th.jpg)G-Gappy-c-chan, I-I thought y-you s-said w-we were befriending e-everyone....

(http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/8621/gapyway.th.jpg)Communication is key to a successful cooperation. Most people who require moderation aren't even aware of what they've done wrong. The violation in question tends to be unintentional. As such, a good, calm discussion on the problem and the reasons behind the need for moderation is necessary. Note that I use the word 'discussion', it must be a bilateral process, with the moderator taking on the role of the active listener from time to time. Sometimes, sitting quietly and listening, and maintaining an open approach to the person's side of things, does wonders in resolving issues before they even become issues. This works even when the person in question takes offense and rages at you at the unfairness, all the other exceptions, blablabla. They must and will run out of steam after ranting for a while. Once that happens, attempts at re-establishing cooperation can be made afresh.

(http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/1599/gappyeaaah.th.jpg)Communication can also sometimes take on the form of BASHING THEIR FACE IN WITH A RUSTY SPORK UNTIL THEY SEE REASON! WHILE IN A MONSTER TRUCK! WHILE ON FIRE!

(http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/7651/gappygood.th.jpg)Hmmm....right, the sunset has reached the right angle. This is where we get up, climb over the crest of the crater, leaning on each other's shoulders, before meeting our cheering nakama.

(http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/9286/rurowaaait.th.jpg) (http://img204.imageshack.us/i/rurowaaait.jpg/) Hmmph, T-this is just because I can't walk out on my own, you know! It's not like I want to be your comrade or anything.

There are immature people out there who just can't swallow being at fault or in the wrong, no matter what. In these cases, if you're still interested in a resolution, you must try and avoid saying 'no', and, instead, ask 'why', and let the person in question arrive at the logical answer to why they are at fault in their own time. Again, active listening is key. This works, of course, assuming the person in question has a shred of logic or reason....which, let's face it, are at times a little scarce on the internet. *Gets up and climbs over the crest of the hill, shoulder to shoulder with Ruro*

(http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/2149/rurohmmm.th.jpg) (http://img192.imageshack.us/i/rurohmmm.jpg/) Just so we're clear, I'm following you guys to make sure you don't commit any further nefarious deeds as well as to capture this evil food thief. I'm not doing it cause I'm your friend or anything.

Gappy, you're a doctor. Tell me - is it lupus?

(http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/4973/gappyahoka.th.jpg)No, it's Tsundere.

Ever had a crush on a forum-goer?

(http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/2973/gappywhat.th.jpg)No, unless you define crush as a 'OMGWTHHESOMANLYANDCHARMINGANDAWESOMENOWAI' sort of admiration for someone but that tsundere over there seems to have.

(http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/3585/rurodameee.th.jpg)I'm not Tsundere, darnit! I really am not following you because I like you or anything!

(http://img864.imageshack.us/img864/8932/gappyhappy2j.th.jpg)Now, CRUSHING a forum-goer, I've done before. Case-in-point, the rather battered shady tsundere.

(http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/6425/rurowhat.th.jpg)Hey, I crushed you first! And stop adding 'shady', 'poor', 'greedy' and 'unemployed' to everything!

(http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/917/doctorportrait.png)You added them 'poor', 'greedy' and 'unemployed' yourself, again, woman. Now, have some herbal homeopathic remedies.

Med-student, huh? My condolences, but I salute your perseverance.  How do you take your coffee, or other stimulants, if any?

(http://img864.imageshack.us/img864/6846/gappykirakira.th.jpg)Coffee is one of my fondest vices. I am admitted addicted to caffeine. I have my own special recipe I call the 'Gappy-Special', with 3-4 teaspoons of ground coffee (Any will do, but avoid the sour types of coffee like Javanese and Cuban coffee beans) mixed in with as little water as possible, about a fifth of the cup-full. Then mix in as much sugar as you want, a teaspoon of cocoa powder and a very, very small pinch of cinnamon, before filling up the cup to full with hot milk, stirring all the while.

(http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/5277/rurowink.th.jpg) (http://img853.imageshack.us/i/rurowink.jpg/)By the way, if this is homeopathic, what's it made of?

(http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/917/doctorportrait.png)Homepathins involves grounding up whatever killed you, dissolving it and diluting it 100.000 times before administering it as medifications. Essence of strawberry diluted 100.000 times for the Red Gap, and Essence of Disgusting diluted 100.000 for the Shady Ruro.

(http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/8621/gapyway.th.jpg)Hey, that's funny, because it implies I'm in fact Disgus-....

How do I learn how to draw? :( (how did you learn how to draw)

(http://img864.imageshack.us/img864/8932/gappyhappy2j.th.jpg)Fine, because I'm so generous, I'll teach you how to graze. Grazing is like drawing. My first baby-steps in drawing were literally that - my parents, ameteur artists both, had me and my siblings paint with our hands as babies, before graduating to brushes and crayons when we were slightly older. In essence, I've been drawing and painting all my life. I started to dabble in manga art at around the age of 8, when a friend in my international school introduced me to my first manga - Doraemon. I mainly learned through copying, copying, more copying, until finally I got the gist of drawing stuff ab initio. I suppose that is the case with how we learn most things - by imitating others, whether it be our parents, or manga. I only seriously got into drawing manga-style when I was 10, my CardCaptor Sakura days. Looking back on them now, my art was horrible back then. I delved into the many sparkly and rosy intricacies of triangular-faced bishonens of the shoujo world.....until, as I mentioned, we all graduated from innocence and discovered yaoi. I could never, ever look at Toya and Yukito the same way again....ugh. Anyway, thankfully, Ah! My Goddess was around to save me back then, and I fell in love with the art style at first sight. It far outdid anything the shoujo realm ever produced. And I've been a practicer of the ways of shounen art ever since. So, how to learn how to draw? Start simple - learn how to walk before you run, copy copy copy, then, one day, when you feel confident enough, you can strike off the path and walk out into the amazing terra incognita of art, full of possibilities and potential!

(http://img863.imageshack.us/img863/6553/tunahappy.th.jpg)Wow, that's amazing, Gappy-chan....

(http://img864.imageshack.us/img864/8932/gappyhappy2j.th.jpg)*PetPets Sakana-neechama*

(http://img69.imageshack.us/img69/6425/rurowhat.th.jpg)There wasn't any mention of grazing in that at all!

(http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/917/doctorportrait.png)Learn to readifying between them lines, girl. There lives wisdom.

(http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/2149/rurohmmm.th.jpg) (http://img192.imageshack.us/i/rurohmmm.jpg/)There was more wisdom in that homeopathic remedy of yours than there was in the entirety of everything she says!

Ever seen a youkai before?

(http://www.shrinemaiden.org/images/avatars/avatar_1141_1299822371.png)U-umm, H-Hello! ?..feeling encouraged yet?

(http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/4973/gappyahoka.th.jpg)It's a youkai who just tried to murder Ruro.

(http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/3585/rurodameee.th.jpg)YOU TRIED TO MURDER ME, YOU RED GAP!

(http://img151.imageshack.us/img151/7145/tunaoh.th.jpg)Gappy-chan....This youkai looks.....unemployed and useless....

(http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/7994/tunawaaah3.th.jpg)NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

(http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/4973/gappyahoka.th.jpg) Rather than feel 'encouraged', I feel rather irritated....

(http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/2210/gappytohoho.th.jpg)Depends on what you call a 'youkai'. The lazy slackers locals we have around here aren't exactly prime youkai material. Proper youkai are all 'Ground his bones to make my bread, then use his liver to bash his head' sort of thing. Around these parts here we only have tea-drinking minors who have no respect for drinking age restrictions, whose idea of a good time is cluttering air traffic by attempting to kill one another by throwing prismatic rice at each other. So the answer is a 'maybe', with the faint hope that one day these girls, particularly this one in front of me, can live up to their name.

Favorite medieval armament?

(http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/7651/gappygood.th.jpg)I like swords in general.

(http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/1599/gappyeaaah.th.jpg)But I particularly like weapons that can do more than just knock on people's doors, you know, like morning stars and SIEGE HAMMERS! AND NUKES!

(http://img12.imageshack.us/img12/3610/tunanonono.th.jpg)G-Gappy-chaaan, nukes aren't medieval!

(http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/917/doctorportrait.png)Plant enough of them and it'll get medieval again.

Got any favorite books, movies, comics, webcomics?

(http://www.shrinemaiden.org/images/avatars/avatar_1141_1299822371.png)....encouragement comes in many forms! Books, Movies, Comics....you like them, don't you?

(http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/3166/gappyembarassed.th.jpg) Depends. I am quite discerning in my taste for books - In the realm of fantasy there's Pratchett, Tolkien and Gaiman, then there's Asimov, Clarke, Dick, Gibson, Vance and Huxley in the realm of sci fi, there's Dickens and Cooke in the realm of historical fiction, then there's modern fantasy and thrillers by people like Dahl, Stross, Koontz and King as well as Japanese authors such as Nasu and Tanigizawa. My own writing style is inspired by Stross, Pratchett, King and Tanigizawa in particular.

(http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/3585/rurodameee.th.jpg) How is this relevant to us about to die by encouragement?!

(http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/7080/gappyhappy.th.jpg)Movies....well, anything engaging enough, I suppose. I watch whatever I come across, as long as it's not horror....I don't like horror....it makes me scared....

(http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/3166/gappyembarassed.th.jpg)Now, comics, well....name a manga and I've probably read it. As you may have probably gathered, I'm mad about manga. Interestingly enough, I have little to no interest in the mainstream stuff like Naruto, Bleach and Negima, having lost interest in them ages ago. I am much, much more interested in the more cult ones like The World God Only Knows and Banana no Nana, or classics like Ah! My Goddess, Chobits and CCS. There's something refreshing about the non-mainstream or original classics, something that is over-exploited and overdone in the commercial mainstream ones. But that's probably just my opinion.

(http://img713.imageshack.us/img713/4136/rurosigh.th.jpg) Which part of....oh, never mind....she's not stopping....

(http://www.shrinemaiden.org/images/avatars/avatar_1141_1299822371.png)yeah! Encouragement comes in oh so many forms, even music, dances, fireworks....

(http://img192.imageshack.us/img192/2149/rurohmmm.th.jpg) (http://img192.imageshack.us/i/rurohmmm.jpg/)I would like it if it wasn?t aimed at, y?know, killing me.

Can you get my ass in England too? It sounds more fun

(http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/3166/gappyembarassed.th.jpg)It depends on your definition of 'fun'. Dodging murderous black taxies and rampaging red buses, running under the permanently rainy weather and wading through beer, and minding that Gap all the time, England is one non-stop adventure. Not to mention the English sense of humour....it's to die for~ As for your question.....I'm not sure they sell shrinemaiden ass in Sainsburys...

Hey Gappy what's your favorite mecha of the Real and Super Genre? :3

(http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/7651/gappygood.th.jpg)Real - Design wise - Gundam Strike Freedom, Gundam Wing Zero Custom, and Gundam Deathscythe Kai, though I'm quite partial to the Armored Core series, particularly the Noblesse Oblige and the White Glint of FA, the Front Mission series of Wanzers, particularly the Zeninslev and the Raijin-0, Macross, as well as the Steambot series of...well...steambots. 

(http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/7080/gappyhappy.th.jpg)Super - I personally can't stand most supers in the veins of Gundam G, Getter, Mazinger, etc. The only super-robos I actually like are the Anubis and Jehuty of Zone of the Enders, TTGL of the series of the same name, Soukou No Strain, and  . Recently, I've become quite a fan of Infinite Stratos.

(http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/3166/gappyembarassed.th.jpg)But you forgot to mention one other type...

(http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/1599/gappyeaaah.th.jpg)AWESOME ROBOS! ROBOS MADE OF AWESOME! CREATED THROUGH THE ULTIMATE GATTAI!

(http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/7080/gappyhappy.th.jpg) Just check for nakama signs and wallets.

(http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/8995/rurofuwaa.th.jpg)Because love is directly proportional to the amount of force applied. Unfortunately.

Once you've completed your doctorate, where do you intend to work?

(http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/7080/gappyhappy.th.jpg) Completing my doctorate is but the first step. I will need to go through a LOT of training after that. England's probably the best place for that, considering I'm already training for the system. So I'll be chilling here in the UK for a long while yet. What comes after? Who knows? There are many places in the world that need doctors.

(http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/917/doctorportrait.png) Like me. And wallets

(http://img864.imageshack.us/img864/8932/gappyhappy2j.th.jpg) I wish. I will go where I am needed, just as you are needed here, Doctor. That kitten needs saving..

(http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/917/doctorportrait.png) That she does. I've relieved her of her life savings to pay for my expert medical care. I've charged her the nakama joining fees.

If I ask nicely, can I borrow Sakana from you? Indefinitely? I won't do anything to her, promise! Though she might be wearing a swimsuit under the dress. But that doesn't matter, right?!  :3

What is your opinion of modern chivalry?

(http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/1986/gappytohoho2.th.jpg)A lot of people say 'chivalry is dead', that there cannot be a notion of 'modern chivalry' for chivalry in itself is synonymous with antiquated, and thus the term 'modern chivalry' would, at best an oxymoron, at worst a paradox. I personally believe that this is a result of society's evolution, from what was once communities built on interdependence between people of specified lifetime roles, to a global community made up of individual, independent units who can fulfill any role, anytime, determined, maybe even desperate, to live without depending on others. This is particularly true with gender roles, where the traditionalist sense of interdependence between man and woman becoming more and more blurry.

(http://img862.imageshack.us/img862/2830/gappybleh.th.jpg)Chivalry was particularly built around the traditional notion of gender roles - Men, the strong, shall serve and protect those that are weak and in need of protection, i.e. women.  It is easy to see why many today, particularly feminists and activists for female empowerment, consider chivalry unsuitable for this day and age. Many say that the image that women require the protection of men must be broken in order for women to truly be free.

(http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/7651/gappygood.th.jpg)Personally, what I believe is truly antiquated is that definition of chivalry. Chivalry is, in its most basic essence, living for the sake of others, putting their needs above your own. To live for your loved ones, your friends, your community, for humanity and the world - that is chivalry, in its broadest, most all-embracing sense. Chivalry is queuing up in an orderly manner at the ticket stop. Chivalry is putting your litter in the bin. Chivalry is flushing after using the public toilet. Chivalry is stopping to put a few coins in a homeless person's cup. Chivalry is going out to coach the local junior football cup. Chivalry is going out to Kenya to work with street children.

(http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/1599/gappyeaaah.th.jpg)My opinion of modern chivalry? It is a grossly, unfairly underrated concept. Many do not realize its relevance, its importance, especially today, now, in the world's time of direst need. However, modern chivalry still lives on, in what few people who possess awareness and will to make a difference, even if they don't know it. Only when it truly dies will hope for humanity cease to exist.

(http://www.shrinemaiden.org/images/avatars/avatar_1141_1299822371.png) O-our h-hope's about to c-cease right NOW!
