YunieXTidus

Glad to hear it.

Glad to hear that, too XD I'm completely at your disposal. XD

Okay. Should I give you my address or should you give me yours?

Mmm...For something like this, we should probably meet at a hotel. Near you is probably best. A gentleman shouldn't ask a lady to travel, after all.

Very well... there are plenty of hotels near Dallas. That's less than a 2 hour drive for me! Shall I bring any sort of lingerie, or...?

Whatever's fun for you. I'm the one apologizing, after all. It's your barbeque.

Alright. You need to bring the silk bondage kit.

Oh, sure. I've still got that from last time.

((I hate to interrupt the wordplay, but would you care to see a very early version of what I'm doing with Asuna?
The pic. Not the girl, fictional or otherwise.
See what you've done to me? You've corrupted me!
I hope you're proud! I hope you feel big!
(sniffle)
Yeah, that's right!))

I'd like to feel something else, if you catch my drift. ;)

And I was being 100% serious the whole time.

Yes, I'd love to see what you're doing with Asuna! Bring on the softcore porn!

Oh? What's that? What is it you want to feel? You're going to have to tell me. I can't read between the lines!

^^' lol. There's a fic for what I'm doing with Asuna. But I'll send you the pic with her praying for Japan instead. XD It'll be in your email inbox in a few secs.

Wow, you're frisky tonight. Kind of makes me wish I wasn't way over here, lmao.

(Grabs right for the gold)

Not bad.

Lol you have NOOO idea. I'm extremely worked up right now. xD

lmao! Watch where you aim that vigor. I need that thing!

So, waht got you wound, if I can ask?

So, the point is:
Mount Fuji in the back.
A Tori gate over her
Japanese flag in the top right corner
Toru Nagashi (lanterns to guide dead ancestors)
Bamboo in classic art style

It WILL get better. Why is it so bad after I've been working on it for so long? Because I scrapped my previous idea.

I have a gentle touch, don't worry. ;)

Lol my friend spent all of Friday talking extremely dirty to me, and I haven't had any alone time to correct that problem. xD. So...3 days of nonstop worked-up-ness.

Well hey, you'll get it.

Well, alright, I guess I'll have to trust you XD

Ah, I see. That'll do it.

Hopefully. I tried to hit a bunch of parts of Japanese culture. Once I actually take my time and improve on them, it'll be good to go.

Promise!

Well, you could help me out with that. ;)

lol.

Well, go at it, then. I'll react in an interesting way, I'm sure XD

I meant in person, but.... ;)

(Sultry voice) So. what are you wearing?

lol.

Just a pair of sleepshorts. They're a bit snug, really. But my exercise routine is paying off. Flat abs and tight muscles :) How about you?

Just a baggy t-shirt. I decided not to bother with the underwear. My friend is sitting next to me on the couch, too.

Oh, nice!

lol, it makes me think of Kate and Abby. The 'maybe we can share Tony' part.
((Wow, you really did ruin me XD))

You'd like to be shared by two attractive, half naked women, hmm?

It occured to me that I should have made sure your friend was female first.
But, well, sort of. Granted, I'm more the relationship type, but I'd have a hard time saying no to that. Anyone would

XD You're having fun, aren't you?

Lol I'd be having more fun if it were in person and I could see your bashful expressions. Shyness turns me on, you know.

Then I think you'd be in near agony. They don't come much more shy than me. I'll admit to blushing a fair bit thus far.

That actually made me bite my lip a bit.

(Twines her fingers in your hair and bats her eyelashes at you) so, what are you up to?

(More blushing)

Mostly daydreaming about seeing all this in person XD How about you?

Picturing it vividly. x)

(Traces the edge of your ear with a fingernail) So, are those shorts getting any snugger yet?

I'm my usual cheery self XD How about you?

Good. Watching witchblade, about to go see green lantern. Anything exciting going on?

Oh, duh. Sorry, I completely forgot to answer the first part of your comment! I'll trust your judgement. If you say he's good, then he's fine by me :)

No, just angry with the job market. I was all set for a good one when the whole department got axed. That's a downer for sure. -_-' Oh well.
I started playing with backgrounds for that pic I was doing. They all suck so far XD

You'll figure it out.

What about the asuna pic?

I hope so --'

Not too bad. I've almost got the right look to it. I can probably share it tomorrow, actually.

I can't wait to see both!

Hopefully they'll be worth the wait :)

This guy who works at the movie theater I'm at keeps looking at me, lol. He's pretty cute. xD too bad I moved away.

lol, good deal! XD

Arg. Can't get any creative juices flowing tonight. I was really hoping to get more done with my fics, but I'm just blanking out. --'

Haha it happens. Gotta go. Movie theater.

ciao! Enjoy the show! :)

Okay. I'm back!

Also, I had a conversation with my friend that I thought you should hear bits and pieces from. The one you were bashing yesterday xD

'When it comes to you I'm torn between being responsible and putting a brotherly gap, and then doing some really sexual stuff. On that day (referring to the day I offered myself- you remember), I thought, I'd rather do it wrong one more time with (his ex girlfriend) than breach that gap between you and me. Like somehow that was more acceptable. And I didn't think that maybe you really were invested in it between you and me. Right now, I am not relationship material. However, my urges are still there. I just at times don't want you to get too invested in me. I've had that happen and I don't want to hurt you like that. Which is why I say, fun for fun's sake is okay, but anything more right now, I can't be. I really would like to share that stuff with you because I can trust you and I think you understand. But that's just me being selfish. It doesn't address your feelings, and it will make you feel used after.'

So he's moved on from his girlfriend - sexually at least- and has now fixated on me, apparently. Sexually, at least. xD Which is novel, all on its own. He usually just flirts a bit, then backs down. So all this undivided attention is quite flattering. But don't worry, I'm not naive. Actually, this whole conversation started when I was a little hesitant with the flirting. He picked up on the fact that I've 'been a little distant ever since that day.' He wanted me to explain because he knew he hurt me, but he didn't understand the whole thing.

Anyway, my point is, he's really a caring guy who makes stupid mistakes sometimes. Really, he's really a great guy.

I'm not sure why it's so important to me that you respect him. xD

It's not like me. In rl or the internet. Especially not in front of girls.

More power to you there. You seem like you're really good at observing human nature in general.

lol, he probably did and I don't remember. It just seemed like a DiNozzo thing to do XD I've really got to continue that at some point. I admit, I'm a sucker for TonyXZiva. And to some degree, McGeeXAbby. Even though I want Abby... lol.
Let me guess...you're a Ducky fan! No, no, Palmer! Am I right?

I like figuring out how people work. What drives them, how they process things, how they react to different things. Their character. Etc, etc. xD Maybe I should go into psychology.

Lol I DO love Palmer. But I'm definitely a McGee fan.

Might not be a bad idea. You're good at it. You could probably profile me from out chats, even without my real life mannerisms and body language.

D'oh! I missed the obvious one! I thought of Ducky's accent and Palmer's height. McGee! Gah! The obvious choice!

Well, I've got to go for tonight. Again, really sorry for your loss :(

Lol probably so.

Duh! I told you I have a thing for nerds. ;) Especially after his wardrobe improvement in the recent seasons.

Thank you. I appreciate your company, as always. :)

Yeah, I suppose so :D I just don't picture him being that buff.
So, where there anything I could fix? Is Azami's figure okay? Her clothes look okay? Yuji's expression, maybe?
Oh, I know! Azami's back! I'm not sure that it looks right.

I wish I could help. You can pass on my condolences, although I doubt sypmathy from a stranger would be much help :( I totally lost it, too. Although in my case, I lost it before she was put down. For about a week straight, actually.

So, what's up tonight?

I could draw in some guidelines for you, if you want. You just didn't taper in the waist enough, is all. Easily fixable!

I do appreciate it though. And it's totally understandable. The dog was like a child to her. Lol she was supposed to be "my" dog, but I'm just another littermate to my girls. Sometimes, when she loses it... i dunno, it just kinda... pisses me off. I hate to see people cry. Although I'm an internalizer... I don't really cry in front of people, unless it's a movie or a book or something. I don't really cry, period. I don't know if that makes me strong... It's not really healthy. Sorry, I'm kind of rambling.

Watching Battlestar Galactica on netflix. You?

That would be great :) Thanks!

I know exactly what you mean there, too. My Grandma is the same way. And the older she gets, the more I see that sort of thing, the less time I want to spend with her. Even though I love her dearly, it drives me nuts to think someone has to cry like that.

Watching NCIS, actually. And debating if my pic fits within site content parameters. Would you feel like giving me your opinion on that?

Sure. I'll get that up sometime tomorrow. Although, it'll be from my phone! xD No scanners. But it's a good quality camera, so it should do the job.

Okay, I'm glad I'm not a horrible person. xD I almost spelled that 'whorrible.' The connotations of THAT spelling are not ones I prefer, lmao!

I've seen much worse on FAC. You put shorts on him, for pete's sake! ;] I think it's fine. Just make sure you flag it with the proper warnings. If it gets rejected, then so be it. It'd probably be your first offense, right?

Cool! Thank you very much!
Do you have any idea on how to draw a convincing scar? I don't like Yuji's very much. They look like lines with bad shading under them. Which, to be fair, they are. I'm hoping the color version will suck less in that respect.

lol, the worst connotation I would have caused would have been a mild joke. But seriously, no, you're not. I don't like seeing weakness in my loved ones. That's why Yuji always winds up with a girl tougher than he is XD

True, but I worry about the sexual overtones. Even though at that point they aren't having sex or anything, it's pretty blatant BDSM...oh well. My first offense, aside from a warning about a really steamy RP back in the day. lol.

I can try!

Yeah. There's something demoralizing about someone you look up to being weak. You know what I mean?

I really don't think it's that huge of a deal. One of the featured pictures on the site has a bit of a nip-slip.

See:
http://www.fanart-central.net/pic-804709.html

They USED to have porn on here. Then they got too many complaints from parents or something, so they had to crack down on their rules, I guess.

Thanks :)

Absolutely. Someone who was a rock in the past isn't so much when you hit your adult life. I totally get it. I get feelings of resent. I think that's why I never bought the 'i'm such a weak and helpless girl' act, or the 'oh, I can't cook myself, I need you!' thing some guys pull.

It's not so much the nudity I'm worried about, I guess (though that did motivate me to clothe Yuji). If Azami had a sword instead of a whip, I would worry. It's the whip that's the killer.
I remember when they did. That's why they added Hentai Foundry. Man, some people thought up some darned, uh, inventive stuff with Sonic the Hedgehog.

Totally understand.

I don't think there's really that much to worry about.

Lol wow. I never checked out the Sonic stuff. I mostly stayed in the Final Fantasy end of the pool. ;] I can't imagine you looking at Sonic porn! xDD

I hope not. I'm working on the color now, and I think I've manged to make convincing whip marks that look 'fresh'. But the ones with bruises around them are harder. I've been playing around with a deep purple, like a plum color, combined with red and blue. I'm not sure how it looks yet. Maybe 'infected' is the right word. lol.

I didn't intentionally, except once or twice out of sheer, morbid curiousity. Some of the best artists were drawing that stuff. ZetaR02, for example. she was kind enough to comment on some old work of mine. I went to return the favor, and...wow. lol.

I look forward to seeing it! 'infected' or not.

Rofl nice. One of my favorite artists (who's no longer here) is now a semi-famous hentai artist. I don't remember her username, but she was fabulous. I mean, not -just- cause of the sex, but the artwork itself was beautiful.

It hsouldn't be long. I'm adding color now. Azami's skin tone is okay, but the scanner will mutilate that if my bumbling attempts at shading don't. Pale-as-a-ghost Yuji is more of a problem. I'm hoping a peach color will work on his skin. I don't want his flesh to look too tender, since he's supposed to be a war hero.

Smut can be beautiful in it's own way. There's an artistic side to almost everything imho.

Lol true. I would have thought you'd wait to color Azami til I helped you out with her back/waist problem, but (shrug). :P

Fair enough.

I made copies of it. I wanted to play around with skin tones tonight, and to maybe see if there's too much black in the pic. I was hoping some creative shading might also fix my problem. Don't think so, but I tried. I'm editing it now. I can send it to you shortly.

Meh, that's a subject I don't judge on. We've all got curiousity, lol.

Okay, I'm sending that pic to you in two secs!

Awesome! Can't wait to see it.

Lol very true. Besides, it's very informative.

And sent! Hope it doesn't totally suck ^^'

I'll admit to using some of that stuff as reference for pics I've attempted. I don't exactly have a live model of the female form, now do I? lol. But then again, my stuff isn't pornographic. It's odd to say, but the shading in those kinds of pics is probably the best if you're trying to learn. (No one but another would-be artist would buy that)

Ah, I see the problem you're having with Azami. Not bad, actually. I'll send you my 'fixed' version of that tomorrow sometime.

Now that that's done (for now), what's up for the evening?

The color is okay? The off the shoulder thing on Azami works okay? lol, I'm worrying too much, I guess.

Not much. Just resting up. It's been a busy day. You?

You do worry a lot. xD

I would make the bruises a biiiit more pink/red, so they still look like whip marks, you know? The off-the-shoulder thing would work okay, it just looks unnatural, the cut of it i mean. I'll fix that too. xD

Still watching Battlestar Galactica. Nothing terribly exciting.

It's because I care, lol.

I think you're right. I like the ones on his stomach. They look like she just made them. the others I didn't like. I wanted him to be scarred from battle, too (those are the 'infected' ones on his arm). Not quite the effect I wanted.

Good stuff.

I feel bad asking about your work, but I also feel bad talking about my own all the time. lol. (worrying again, lol)

I would stick with the ones like the one on his stomach. They look pretty good.

Indeed! I'd forgotten how much I love Battlestar Galactica.

Haha, no, I'm sorry, I haven't even touched it, to be honest. xD

Don't feel bad for either! Perfectly alright. :)

Also- remember the friend I told you about? The one I offered myself to and was pissed off at for a while? xD I told him about my dog earlier, and he offered me the same thing I offered him. I'm not quite sure how to take that. xD

I think you're right.

That's okay! I just don't want to only talk about my work. No pressure on you!

Well, you're not me, so my response, which is barely fit to post even on the internet, isn't something I'll repeat XD
No, seriously, I'd be flattered but suspicious.

Oh, no. You can't do that to me. What would your reply be?

Lol I'm flattered, for sure. I'm just not sure whether he's offering it because he has feelings for me that he's not saying aloud, or he's offering it because that's what he uses sex for- solace.

Well...Something along the lines of "**** off you selfish ****k!", accompanied with exactly why I thought he was said...***** ****. But like I said, I'm playing the part of a concerned friend, so you shouldn't take that seriously.

I hate to speak ill of this fellow, but he could just want sex for himself. It wouldn't be the first time someone played at someone's heart like that. I must sound like a jerk saying that, not even knowing the guy. I promise that's not what I'm trying to be. The only personal stake I've got in this is worrying about your feelings getting hurt.

Here, I found something that might cheer you up! I had done this a while ago, but never finished. Enjoy!

Tony slunk low across the floor, ignoring the odd looks he was getting from McGee. He slithered toward his target- Ziva David’s desk. With the grace and agility of a fifth grader cutting class, DiNozzo grabbed the bottom Ziva’s desk and pulled himself underneath it, accompanying it with a ‘whoosh’ sound that he made for fun.

Across the room, McGee shrugged and went back to work. Tony was going to get caught, just like always. There was no point in preaching to him about how wrong it was to try to break into your co-worker’s desk. It was more fun to watch him get caught in the act.

Tongue between his teeth, Tony popped his head up, looking around to make sure the coast was clear. When he saw no one, he ducked back down and began to unfold a paperclip. McGee rolled his eyes, noting that Tony’s overpriced Italian loafers were sticking out of the underside of the desk. Any minute now…
-Ding
McGee smiled to himself. There it was. The sound of the elevator doors opening. DiNozzo’s death knell.

Tony didn’t hear the sound- he was too busy trying to pick a lock with that paperclip. What a ridiculous endeavor that was. Something didn’t sit right with Tony, though, even as he worked. Then it dawned on him. He poked his head up again like a periscope.

“Spill, Elf Lord,” Tony hissed. “Why haven’t you gone off on one of your goody-two-shoes speeches. What’s David got in here? Is it a bomb?”

Wouldn’t put it past her, McGee admitted to himself.
“I’m tired of lecturing you, Tony. It’s obviously not doing any good. So I’m just going to enjoy watching you get caught.”

“I won’t get caught!” Tony managed to say with an air of self-righteousness. “The thing is, probie, you don’t get to be the senior field agent unless you’ve got-”

The drawer popped open, and a white powder cloud exploded all over Tony’s dark gray suit. It caked on his hair and face, which was still frozen in mid-word.
“-skills,” he finished belatedly, sputtering to expel some of the white stuff from his mouth.

McGee hadn’t known this was coming, but it didn’t completely shock him that Ziva’s desk was booby trapped. He was trying not to laugh, because there would be hell to pay in the form of Tony’s razzing if he did. In the end, he gave up, ducking behind his computer monitor to laugh and barely making it.

“See anything you like, Tony?” came the exotic voice belonging to the exotic beauty know as Ziva. She was resting her head and arms on the cubicle partition behind her desk, watching Tony sputter and cough with a wry grin on her face. “What were you looking for, anyway?”

Tony got up, using Ziva’s chair as a crutch, nearly buckling again when it rolled away from him. He stood up ramrod straight, trying to retain something resembling dignity. It was hard when you were covered in white powdered sugar. Ziva was cracking up right to Tony’s face, wounding his pride a fair bit.

“Spill, David,” he said with conviction. “I notice things.”

Ziva managed to stop laughing long enough to give Tony a glance. “Like what?”

“You’ve been wearing skirts the last week.”

“I AM a woman, Tony. It’s not unheard of.”

Tony waved his hand in front of him, trying to break up the cloud of sugar hanging in the air. “No, no, no, not you, Ziva. MAASAD agents like you don’t wear skirts and pantyhose. No, they wear flak jackets and fatigues. If you’re dressed up like this, something’s changed. And I’m betting it’s a man.”

It was a rare time where Ziva had to admit to herself that Tony’s observational skills belied his clownish exterior. She HAD been more dressed up lately. Hair, makeup, clothes- she strived for a clean personal appearance. She did not usually try to accentuate her figure or be overly feminine. The assassin was genderless, in her mind. She was an agent of justice first and a woman second. That left little room for romance. But Tony didn’t need to know that.
“Absolutely not. Abby wears skirts all the time. Why don’t you question her relationship status, instead of homing in on me like some obsessive little klip?”

(‘Klip’ is Yiddish for ‘Gabby woman’. Thank you online dictionaries!)

Tony wasn’t sure how to react being called a…what had she called him, anyway?

“I’m gonna find out what you just said, David, and when I do, I’ll prove that you’re a bigger…clap!”

Ziva tossed a smile over her shoulder as she strutted to her cubicle, the proud victor. “’Klip’, Tony.”

DiNozzo could only stalk back toward his desk, muttering under his breath. Damn, she painted a nice picture in that skirt. When she wanted to, Ziva could be as alluring a female as Tony had ever met. He took a moment to remember an undercover assignment that had required Ziva to wear this sequined, backless gown. She had looked gorgeous. That nearly caused Tony to blow the mission, as when their target tried to paw her, Tony almost jumped the gun and ruined the whole deal.

Lmao I'm glad you and he aren't in the same social circles... I doubt that would go over well.

I do appreciate the concern, really, I do. But he isn't that sort of guy. He'd use someone in -his- hour of need. He wouldn't use someone in -theirs-. I think it's half concern, and half- he just wants me. xD Which is flattering, in and of itself. Really, he's a good guy. He just... sometimes lines blur for him. It's not all his fault- the woman he was involved with, the woman he gave his heart to... She really messed him up. Badly. She messed up his moral compass. She left him an emotional wreck. He's really a great guy. Promise.

Also- LOVE IT! I think I saw an episode resembling that... that seems familiar.

Right off the bat, huh?

Well, I was just sitting here being lonely. Sure could use company... (looks at bed) Yup. Company.

lol. Anything going on tonight?

You love it.

(Sashays over to the bed and sits on the edge with her legs crossed) oh?

Lol got friends over, listening to dane cook and flirting around.

Well, yeah, I do^^

Hey, question: Do you prefer long hair or short hair on guys?

(Sits next to you) Hey, are you still supposed to ask before you push a lady down? Or is that not the case these days?

Sounds like fun ^^ I'm working on that Azami picture. I finally got her butt the right size! (lmao, that would sound weird to anyone who didn't know the origin of this conversation, I'd imagine)

Oh, big question: Was Yuji too far out of character with the drug use in that last chapter?

X)

It depends, I guess. If its well groomed, long hair is okay.

Mm, I'd have preferred it if you'd done that in the first place.

Ah, no. It worked for him.

Okay, cool. Just curious ^^ I have short hair, so I don't know why it mattered XD

Well, then...(pushes gently)

Question 2: Did he come across as a 'vindicated bad guy'? Or just partially insane? I was having the worst time with that distinction.

Haha I PREFER short hair, but long hair is okay too. As long as there's enough for me to wrap my fingers around.

No, no, no. If you're going to push me down, you gotta be a little rough. It's all about dominance.

I think it was a perfect balance. He was on the edge of crossing into insanity, but it was rightly so.... if that makes sense.

Any hair color you prefer?

Oh? Why don't you demonstrate? (Grand gesture)

No, it does. He's not insane yet, but you're not sure how close he is. That's what I want. It's the next chapter that it gets really fun. I hope ^^'

I really like dark brown, but I'm also partial to gingers. xD Why the curiosity?

Don't test me, I'm feeling frisky tonight. (gets up, then sits in your lap, undoing the buttons of your shirt slowly, one at a time)

I can't wait to read it! You left on quite a bit of a cliffhanger. :(

I don't know. I heard that a lot of girls don't like blonde guys. Again, I'm not blonde, so it doesn't matter, lol. Just bored curiousity, I guess.

I won't back down this time! C'mon, work faster! And isn't it customary for the person doing the stripping's shirt to come off first?

The next chapter should more than make up for it. I really love the next chapter. May even be my favorite self-work ever!

I don't discriminate according to hair color, lol. I like blondes, as long as they're not the stereotypical kind. xD I'm just partial to brown and red, I guess.

Challenge accepted. And I'll take my shirt off whenever I damn well please... unless you'd rather take it off for me? (still slowly undoing buttons, exposing your chest inch by inch)

Lol well if it's THAT good, then I'm all the more anxious to read it!

I'm almost exactly the same, except I prefer black hair to brown hair. Red is up there, and even a punk-ish sort of pink is ok on the right girl.

Do you know when you'll damn well please? (goofy grin)

It's good to me. You might absolutely hate it, lol. But it's fun.

Okay, I've finished sketching Azami, and have her proportioned right. I'm using her shadow as she stands over Yuji to block his genitals. Except I just realized I drew him too ****ing far away! Damn it! I finally got him to look right, and now he's in the wrong freakin' spot! Gah!

I went through a phase where I wanted to dye my hair black. But nah. I have gotten red lowlights, though. (like highlights, only dark.) It brings out the natural red in my hair- I'm Celtic. xD

That made me laugh a little. xD

I'll damn well please when you damn well please to make me. (finally gets your shirt unbuttoned, pushing it off your shoulders and drawing her fingernails gently back up your arms)

Nah, I doubt I'll hate it. I rarely hate anything you write. In fact, I don't think I've hated anything you've written. xD That may well be impossible.

Lmao well... you could always enlarge him in MS paint or something... (shrug)

That's pretty cool. My heritage is all over the place, but if asked I just say 'German', though I'm equal parts other things. It's just easier to explain that way.

(okay, getting nervous, but not backing down yet!) Take it off, now! I want to watch! (Demanding enough? XD)

That's kind of you :) That means I'm doing my job, then.

I did, and I think it worked. I need to change Azami's whip. The shadow thing isn't working, so I'm going to give her something more sinister looking. It suits her anyway.

So, do you have any favorite artists? Doesn't matter what their work is. For example, I like Stan Lee, Patrick Spaziante, and Noizi Itou.

I'm part scottish, part english, part cherokee, and probably part of a lot of other things. I'm a mutt. xD

(crosses her arms and sniffs haughtily at you, turning her head to the side, still on your lap) Do it yourself.

Well, it's no stretch of the truth. :)

Ooh, I can't wait to see this when it's finished.

Like drawing-wise? Uh... Van Gogh. xD I dunno?

I'm German, Italian, English, and Yugoslavian. I don't look Italian at all, though. Don't talk like one, either with mouth or hands XD

(sigh) Well, if you're going to make me work...
Crap, you win. lol.

Thanks :D I love your work, too. I maintain that you have better attention to detail.

I've just added Yuji's face...put a blindfold on him, because he was that way in the story at the point I'm aiming for, and because I can't draw eyes -_-' I'm not happy with his arms, but I'm going to stop messing with them because I'm just making it worse.
You're going to laugh, but the way I've got this now, with the censor the way it is, it looks like Yuji is rather, ahem...bald. Down 'there'. --' Crap.

I feel less dignified now, lol. I picked comic book artists! You picked a bona fide legend! No fair! ;)

That can be remedied.

Aww, don't quit now! We were making such progress!

Lol well, lots of guys... um... shave... xD No, seriously, though.

And lmao ooooops. What can I say? I can't resist a ginger.

Also, if you're needing tips on how to seduce a woman... Look no further:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FU0QwHqXO0

0:44 - 0:50. That's how it's done. xD

You've got slow, lingering kisses and hot, passionate ones that'll melt your pants off. And David Tennant is the ONLY man I've ever seen who looks sexy while drinking wine.

(drool) Gawjuss. Just gawjuss.

We're getting into dangerous turf there XD

Well, yeah, but for realism's sake, he's been out in the field, fighting a war for a few weeks. Even if he was a regular shaver, I doubt he'd take the time to do that in the middle of combat. I wonder if that sort of hair is against FAC policy, or if I have to make some BS shadow.

lol XD

I'll have to study that. Or let her do the seducing. whatever. I'll go with my gut, all Gibbs-like.
Wait...3 divorces? Okay, maybe not Gibbs-like.

Lol true enough. But that's the fun part! xD

True enough. I hadn't thought about that.

lol XD

Lol all you need to do is study David Tennant. He is god's gift to women everywhere. The part I pointed out to you- THAT is how you lower a woman onto a bed.


AAAANYWAY, what are you up to?

Also, question- a girl serenades you on guitar-- sweet or stupid?

No argument there. Rest assured, it's not something I would pull in rl!

Well, I worked it out. See below XD

Okay, I'm going to study this guy. lol. I need moves like that!

About to send you a b&w sketch of this pic, actually. To keep with FAC policy, I gave Yuji some pants. lol. Turned out it would have been in the NC-17 category if I'd left him completely nude. It was give him underwear or a stupid unnatural sensor.

I would say it's sweet. Some might say it's a gender role reversal, but I say it's sweet no matter who's doing it.

Sent the pic. Enjoy (or not)!

Very nice. I've always had a hard time with posing, but you seemed to have mastered it in short work. x)

They're taking my dog to the vet now... I'm at home with our other dog. I don't know if she knows that her best friend (and mine) isn't coming back this time.

Just read your pilot chapter and I can say that I like it. Interesting approach fro your OC, the Admirals little girl thing is an fun aspect to play on.

I can see the preview and I don't want to read. You'll spoil the fun for me.

Thanks.

Lol fair enough.

Now if you'll excuse me I think my bed is calling. It 2 in the morning here

Jeez!

That's the problem. I want her to seem unconcerned, just sort of taunting him. He's supposed to be vaguely worried, very beaten up, and yet sort of interested. I can't figure out what would cause the correct shadow, so I might adjust a bit so that Azami's arm or whip is covering him up.

I'd imagine the concept is pretty mild, right?

Very true :)

Well, I've got to go for tonight. Good chatting with you! Enjoy the 'Mercenaries' update!

Maybe you should make the person about to be shot Chief O'Brien, or someone else she knows (O'Brien is usually the one in those situations, which is why I mentioned him). Give her someone to have some dialogue with.

How are you tonight?

I'm good. Watching a miyazaki movie with my friend. Yourself?

Same as usual. Trying to take over the world.

Oh, that wasn't what you asked, was it? Oh well.

I was considering how many people would think I was a pervert if I drew out the scene of Azami seducing Yuji, actually. It sucks that I care enough about my non-existant reputation to not actually do it. lol.
Doesn't hurt that I couldn't if I tried XD

Lol you're too funny.

No, I don't think they would. I mean, considering how the story has progressed, it fits.

Nah, I'm bored and lame. But thanks for protecting my delicate ego anyway ;)
Hmm. That's weird even for me. Must be a full moon or something.

I...don't know if it in me to draw a girl in her underwear. Yuji beat up, that's nothing new. But that other one...that's a big one for me.

Oh, you're not lame! A handsome fellow like yourself should never think so lowly of himself.

Lol I've got it in me.

You're a kind girl. One of these days I'll have to send you a picture of me, since I've seen one of you.

No offense, but you're a girl! It's hardly the same thing. A girl draws that, I think 'Oh, hot!'. A guy draws it, I think 'Ugh. Perv...right click, save picture as...'
jk. But still. Maybe I'll send a prototype to you, to see what you think.

Oh, I'll have an update up soon!

^^ I'd appreciate that, but don't feel pressured.

Lol send away!

One of these days. Once I get a decent current pic.

I was thinking of drawing a set of manga pages of the fight, ending with Yuji in a hopeless predicament- stripped naked (shadows for censoring) and cut-up, with the boyshort-clad bottom half of a whip-wielding mistress. Set in a cabin with a thick forest outside the window. Sound interesting?

Comments only work if you hit submit -_-' crap.

Oh, I've updated 'mercenaries' btw!

Cool. ^^

Lmao sounds good to me!

Yeah, it works better that way.

I think I can trust you, really. You're a genuinely good person from where I sit.

But is it trashy? I'd like there to be some artistic element to it. Not just horndog pseudo-porn.

lol, it really does!

It means a lot to hear you say that. Same to you though. Lol, I've told you a lot of things I don't talk about to many of my face to face friends.

Well, it depends on how you go about it, I s'pose..

Likewise, actually. Not to mention pestered you about ridiculous questions that a guy my age should have answers to, lmao!

Hopefully my storyboard-like sketch will answer that. By itself, it's pretty harmless. There are underwear ads that are more suggetive, I think. lol.

That means a lot. ^^ Lol well, nobody's perfect. xD

Lol well, it IS you, making it. I should assume it's harmless as a bunny rabbit, right? ;)

That's true. Very true. lol. For some more than others (eye roll). I think you trust me because you know I'm harmless! XD

Well, maybe I'll just show you and turn out a really hot, X-rated, softcore porn pic!
jk.
Yeah, it'll be pretty tame. lmao. (read: pathetic)

Lol you are quite harmless, but it's part of your charm. ;)

Lol RIGHT. Impress me. (saucy wink)

Lol you are quite harmless, but it's part of your charm. ;)

lol, maybe I will! I'm going to try. (While keeping it classy)

Again, only works when you hit submit! My God, where is my head tonight?!

Lol at city/paste fail.

Which one? ;)

lol at your 'city/paste fail' back at you! :D

I am indeed harmless.

And yes, you get a point, One head is on top of my shoulders, the other is reasting comfortably on the center of my chest :0 (That's GOT to be a point!)

Lmao nice one. God, I'm dumb.

Oh... oh my. xD I don't have a comeback for that. So point for me, but 2 for you.

10-3

xDDDDD

No more so than me for messing up the first time.

I should apologize for that one. that was really crude and not like me at all. It just sort of slipped out...

Almost done with the Azami part of the sketch. I made her butt way too big because i changed the view of the drawing partway through.

Lol no, I think my mishap correction was worse than yours. xD

No, no, don't apologize! We're making progress on you! What slipped out? ;)

Lol Maybe she has a big butt and your subconscious is putting that out in your drawing? xD Sorry, that was a pathetic crackpot theory.

I do it more frequently, though ;D

lol, well, that one was pretty crude.
And the second I typed 'it just slipped out', I was waiting for a 'that's what she said'. lol. You really have corrupted me. Still can't type it without blushing, though.

No, I'd agree, except I don't picture her that way. I've got a couple sketches I'll be emailing you in a minute.

Oh, we'll remedy that in short order.

Yayayay!

Sketches sent! Enjoy! Or wince. Whatever comes first.

Curing me of blushing is like getting Yuji laid- probably not going to happen, at least on purpose. XD

Yay! Checking my email now!

Lol well, you know me. I'm pretty determined when I want to be.

Got the email! It's uh... interesting. xD I don't think her butt is THAT big... is it?

Soul Eater is a good read. The characters are easy to follow and the story is well done.

Yeah I really, really, really need to start reading that. Star Trek is one of the things I enjoy watcing after coming back from work.

My life has been alright. Work is not being a total bi*ch so is managable.

I've heard good things.

Yes, you really, really, really do. ;) We've both worked really hard. My pilot is actually shorter than intended, because I also used it as an English 'short story' assignment. Needless to say, I got a 100.

We've also been working on a future episode, that has something to do with the Borg. Both NG and I are really impatient for me to finish my part of ep 2 so we can move on with the story. xD

Well you hear correctly (Aside from myself)

I've gathered that you and NG have been working hard on this. You two want to make this story as good as you can. It would be a shame if I didn't read it actually.

I think the borg have lost most of their teeth in the series. At first it was doom to face them... but as ST progressed they lose thier edge in a way. Voyager was the thing that made the borg a little less menacing then the other seiries

Lol I'll have to take a look.

Yes, it definitely would! It's really good. xD

This one is much more personal. It takes a more personal look at how the Borg affect their victims emotionally and physically.
