Thanks to the prodding of Seorin, I took 3 days to read through this thread (mostly at work since I'm bored crapless).

I can only wish we had steam powered PCs.

Voting for...Dammit, I'm stuck in a 3 way tie between the hot russian sniper, the rich snob, and the tall girl. either way though, this thread has got my love! You have no idea how hard it is to keep from cackling like Kohran a madman while reading this.

Also, since the robot's been sent on a date with Iris, that means we'll be able to get it's memory circuits and see what *could* of been, right?

The most succulent treat to a goon is the suffering of another goon. Once you understand, the reasons will become clear.

I figured that was a pre-req for joining the forums. Mmm, the sweet sweet taste of humangoon suffering.

Speaking of which, there's a disturbing lack of fanart in an LP thread this popular...

By the way. I was expecting something like this, but still, you... you are a horrible horrible human being and I hope you burn in that special part of purgatory that they reserve for totally awesome people. It won't stop staring at me oh god

You mean that special section of hell reservered for child molesters Japan and people who talk in theaters? drat, now I'm eagerly awaiting to see what this special present is.

Excellent work with the update, and Jean-Paul... now I feel kinda bad for him. And I almost want to hug Iris and tell her it's going to be ok.

Really, I can't decide which is more amusing. The LP itself with Spirit Armor commentary turned on, or all the side-conversations.

This gentlemen, is why it's better to read LPs in their natural form. Though I have to ask, if Ogami actually found the time to read, what would his internal commentary be like I wonder.

I like to think the side conversations enhance the wonderful work Spirit Armor does. It makes things seem more...in-depth, I suppose.

As for the commentary: is it for the LP-Ogami, Robo-Ogami, or Ogami-the-way-he-was-originally-meant?

Also, I like how you instantly assume we're all men. :)

Sorry, I tend to use gentlemen as an all inclusive term. Call it a bit of old world beaten into me. And LP-Ogami, because I don't think even Robo-Ogami could survive all this without overloading it's logic circuits.

In the future, we will read this LP to our children's children's as they nestle into their regen chambers, and sit around complaining about the good old days before they could upload screen shot LPs into pill form.

Meanwhile, Spirit Armor will be teaching the fine art of Sakura War LP making to the next generation, like a swordsmith passing on secret family techniques, and Canuck-Errant's decedents will continue the traditions of soul destruction via smilies.

Finally, I'm sure that we will be able to resolve any difficulties because of the aforementioned 'perfectly rational adult(s)' thing, so we're NOT needlessly turning this into a romantic drama.

So who here votes that "perfectly rational adults" is code for "shoot him with large amounts of bullets"?

A lot of Texans would dispute membership in the Deep South. East Texas is undeniably part of it, but once you get out of there it's either Southwestern or Midwestern. That's what happens when you have a state the geographic size of France.

Pretty much it's the far-east part of Texas, and even then only if it's one of the smaller towns (Tyler, Houston, and the like are large exceptions). Still, nothing too bad about it, we love our crawfish boils.

As for the accents, I best heard them described this way:

Kansai-ben goes into a restaurant, has a bad meal, pays, and just never goes back.

Tokyo-ben goes into a restaurant, has a bad meal, pays, complains to management, and then might go back once more to give it a shot.

Osaka-ben goes into a resturant, claims the food was bad, the service was crap, kicked over the table claiming they've been poisoned, and leaves without paying.

Personally, as a Southerner I regard Texas as a cultural entity unto itself, and one that is best not messed with. Although a couple of speculative fiction novels I've read amused me by having Texas as the leader and capital of the South in a second Civil War.

I know there was a "Let's Play" that involved Texas as the main country in a Paradox LP. I'll see if I can dig that up.

We could always just pretend we know how it ended, whip up a few epilogues all Clue/Animal House style!

Maria Tachibana changed her name to "Hawkeye" and was recruited as a medical specialist with the 4077th Mobile Army Surgical Hospital. The publication of her latest medical paper, "Sure-Shot Surgery: Accuracy and Targeting Illness", has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Sumire Kanzaki and Kanna Kirishima now run a local production of "Punch & Judy: Live". At current they are still searching for financial backers, and an insurance agent willing to cover Acts of God.

Iris Chateaubriand now attends Ewen High School, and is in her senior year.

Ri Kohran moved to the United States and married Nikola Tesla. Together they developed new applications for the DC electrical grid, and became responsible for the modern body-modification movement.

Ichiro Ogami died from heart failure. His body was discovered three days later under Sakura's mattress.

Sakura Shinguji was arraigned in the Superior Court, County of Los Angeles. In a moment the results of that trial.
