| Grey: "Falcon Assault." Birdon screeched loudly, and as Grey dashed into the path of the wyvern, countering with a rapid-fire salvo of arrows that flew almost as fast as his feet stepped, Birdon rose high into the air! Going into a swift dive at Dracoon, the falcon's talons raked toward her as it darted back and forth in a flurry of small but sharp hits! |

| Janus: "I'll take that, thank you." The "ten year old" snatched the book from Kirby's hands, stuffed it inside his bag, and waited for a few seconds. Before Kirby could get enraged at the prospect of having his book stolen, Janus immediately withdrew it from the bag, and handed it back to him. "This'll come in handy. You may not want to learn from it, but goodness knows I'll find it useful." He then reaches into his bag, and immediately pulls out another copy of the massive volume, exactly like the book Coo produced! "See? Magic. I think." Satchel: "....Dumbass..." |

Ziff, I somehow doubt Mr. Houou lives in a media-defined "Worst city in the world", either. |
 I find that whenever I need time away from the net, I just sit in my house. If it's dark, I'll just close my eyes and relax, but if there's light somewhere, I'll get a book, or find my cat or something, and just relax like that. There's plenty of safe, non-internet based ways to waste your time nowadays!

Looking at the paper with a confused eye, Professor McGonagall directed her steely eyes to the grown man that was trying to pass himself off as a ten-year-old, shrugged, and called out a name... |
Prof. McG: "Kalar, Janus!" Janus nervously raised an eyebrow, got up from his seat, and walked to the Sorting Hat's chair, clutching Satchel tightly as he sat down. The hat was placed on his head... Sorting Hat: "Oh, what's this..... Ah, you're not young at all, are you? Interesting head you've got here... Might as well put you in a house, to humor you..." (The camera pans around the chair in a circle, as the man shifts and squirms, cooly accepting the fact that the hat was reading his every thought... "Fighting spirit, and courage, too... You'd do well in Gryffindor." Janus (thinking): 'I'm not really the magical type, you know... Just here on tour.' Sorting Hat: "That's fine, shows you've got a reason to work hard... How about Hufflepuff?" Janus: 'Whatever you say, you're the one reading my subconscious. If I wanted to choose, don't you think I'd scream the thought in my head or something?' Sorting Hat: "Ooh, clever one, too. How about Ravenclaw?" Janus: 'Whatever works out the best...' Sorting Hat: "I see. Well, then. I've got the perfect place for you..." The hat's mouth opened, and a death sentence erupted from its tattered lips, in the form of... "Slytherin!" Sorting Hat: "How about you get in touch with your dark side while you're here "on tour"?" Janus: "Hmm..." The young warrior got up from his seat and moved swiftly over to the Slytherin table, resting his eyes on a sea of scowls. He sat down across the table from a blonde-haired boy who appeared to be encased in a wall of flesh. Upon closer inspection, it was actually a pair of boys his age... The boy pointed at Satchel and laughed. ??? (as if you didn't already know): "Hey old guy, nice purse!" Janus: "Hey, Richie Rich, why don't you take that piece of termite fuel you call a wand and shove it up your dad's "investment stock"?" The young boy gave him a death-stare, and quieted down for the moment... Janus (thinking): 'Wow, that actually felt kinda good... Maybe the Sorting Hat was right, I might as well try being mean for a little bit, at least.' He sat contentedly at the table and smiled smugly. Satchel: "300000 years, and you finally grow a spine..."

So, anyone else see this? I managed to catch it during the limited showing stages, last Saturday. It wasn't too bad. |
A lot of people are going to compare it to Hero, I can guarantee that. It's just not as good as Hero, mainly because it's not the same movie. The story was pretty good, there were a few things that caught me off guard, not many, but enough to keep me watching. It's not like it was OMG UNPREDICTABLE, but at the same time, it wasn't exactly boring. The fights were well choreographed, and the emphasis on the daggers themselves as they were used in a fight was cool. It wasn't something I had seen before, that's for sure. The camera style also used a sort of bullet-time effect at times, but it wasn't really as cheesy as the Wachowski brothers overblew it. As far as the ending goes, it was kind of a drag. I won't give it away, but the movie's makers, IIRC, said that because it was geared toward Chinese audiences, American audiences wouldn't feel the same way. The ending is serious, and ironic, as well, and as such most people will probably laugh at it, even though they don't want to. Supposedly, irony doesn't translate well from English to Chinese or vice versa. Personally, I'd rather watch Hero a third or fourth time than this, but that doesn't stop it from being a bad film. It was well put together. Just.... not as good as Hero, which is what I have a feeling a lot of people will say about it. Or else it'll be better than Hero, if you really liked the movie. Bottom line is, it's gonna be compared to Hero somehow.

Originally posted by Karadur It's a literary reference, I think. I forget the name of it, but a short story was once written about these five astronauts who were stuck in space after their craft exploded. The narrator's arm was cut off and freezing, and they were falling through the atmosphere. Having burned into ashes, the people on Earth thought they were shooting stars and snowflakes.

You don't want to know... |
And, just for the sake of variation, did the waiter forget to reheat his soup?

Jizuko reminded me of this, why not have a forum where we can share cooking secrets, or a forum for health tips (exercising and sickness), or both? |
We've got one for pretty much everything else, and I wouldn't mind seeing what the rest of the world eats in their spare time.

Would it be nine? Since Mr. Bird originally married a widow, her children wouldn't carry the Bird family name, so technically they wouldn't be a part of the Bird family, meaning Harold would have had three kids when they were married. If Mrs. Bird isn't directly related to Harold Bird's three children, then they would have had to have nine kids to make 12, with Mrs. Bird's pre-Bird children remaining a variable. |

Originally posted by Omega Storywise, yeah, Hero's a light version of House of Flying Daggers, but as far as action goes, I thought the fighting in Hero was much smoother and better choreographed. The fights in House just didn't jump out at me. Plus, I was a big fan of the Emperor's "Three Stages of a Warrior" philosophy, I thought it gave Hero a lot more meaning than it already had.

Janus looked on longingly as all of the nice people he met were starting for the Gryffindor table. Turning his head to scan the black-robed people sitting around him, he noticed that they were all suspiciously like that blonde-haired boy who was giving him the acidic stare. He couldn't place his finger on how, but he knew there was something up. |
In any case, they didn't seem to have taken a liking to him, so he got up and made for the Gryffindor table. It was then that the sand-headed kid spoke to him again, in the same sneering, scarring manner. Boy: "Hey! Where do you think you're going, Purse-y?" From over on the Gryffindor table, a red-haired man of about Janus' height perked his head up, looked around, and resumed cheering for the first years as "Wilson, Brian" was placed in Ravenclaw. Janus looked down at the sitting teenager, his expression one of bewilderment. Janus: "I was gonna go sit with the people at the lion table... They were all nice to me, I figured I'd try to make some friends while I'm here." Janus' attacker scoffed and sneered. It seemed like those were the only two actions the boy was capable of... Boy: "Oh, no you don't. That's not how it works around here... You're a Slytherin, you sit with the Slytherins. Wouldn't want one of ours getting mixed up with those impure bastard children." Janus: "Bastard children? Look who's talking! You didn't exactly give a "decent human being" impression when I sat down here!" The boy gave a sigh of arrogance, the signature feature of every single villain Janus had ever met. The golden-haired fellow then looked at him, seeing him as though he were a small child that needed to be corrupted. Boy: "You don't seem to understand. Since you were placed in Slytherin, that means you're of a different breed than the rest of these... well, it sickens me to even call them "people". You're special. You're one of us, and that makes you much better than them." As Janus took his words in, the Sorting Hat's last remark rang through his head again... *Sorting Hat* : 'How about you get in touch with your dark side while you're here....' Janus closed his eyes, and finally understood. Look the flower... Act the snake... Janus: "Better than them? Well, I guess if I were put in here, I'd have to be. Prestige, glory, and power, right? That was what the hat said." His expression changed to a sly grin as he slowly began embracing his inner evil, and cuddling with it for a bit. The boy smiled as well, and for a moment the two looked almost alike in their facial expressions. Boy: "Exactly. I think you'll fit right in around here." He extended his hand in a very professional manner. "I'm Malfoy. Draco Malfoy." Janus took it, and shook it firmly, returning to his seat, as "Jones, Arnold" became a Hufflepuff. Janus: "I'm Janus, Janus Kalar." Malfoy: "I know who you are. Consider that itself a compliment."

Taking a look at the smoking hole beside him, Grey continues to watch from the stands... |
Grey: "I guess ziratha doesn't really need any help here... He's way too strong to even be touched by these guys!" He then looks over to the rest of the players in their respective spots... "But then, considering what happened to Emptyeye when he tangled with an enemy, what about the rest of you?" (restricted) | | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

One would think it would be weird to have a snowflake land on you tounge, and not melt
