The ASB Summer Xmas Tree 2007!

[Blademaster]

The Tree comes down in less than a week... Doesn't anybody have any gifts left to give?

...

Well, I do!

Hyperness: Valentina (Kirlia [F]) finally fell in her Gym Battle, so she's all yours. Please feel free to rename her, as I could never find a Mario name that quite suited her. She was part of my initial four, so please take good care of her.

"Nate.... Lau... ra... The Tree dies... All of your chances for gifts die, too... You have little left in both time and options...

Hurry...

Hurry........"




A million points to anyone who gets the reference I just made.

[Toxicity]

Wait, wait, wait...I go on hiatus due to readjusting to new abode and I miss out on fun? And two prezzies?

Faiz, I really appreciate the Vulpix you have given me. I may already have a Charmeleon under my wing, but Vulpix has always been and forever will be a favorite of mine. I'll treat her with the utmost love, and if I could, I'd somehow repay you, but I'm not sure how I could except maybe do as you have wanted me to do for so long and start writing again. And I bet I might include Kirei somewhere along the line. ^~

And I can see I obviously missed out on the delicious offerings Blade had going. *pauses and thinks* Here's me guessing that the reference is towards something in the Paper Mario trilogy (loved the original but can't find my copy; same with the second; never played Super) and I guess I can have Grimer pretty please?

(and now that I'm practically settled down and currently not too busy, I am gonna be serious about my mentioned come-back. srsly)

Dear, sweet Laura... Do you honestly think that they'd refer to death in any Mario game? Even in SPM, it's only referred to as 'one's game being over.'

No, that phrase is based off of a phrase spoken by Hakunin in Fallout 2 - if you take too long to complete the game, he starts speaking to you in your dreams. That phrase was the fourth (and final) time he speaks to you before you either fail the game and it ends, or you succeed and return where you started, but everyone except Hakunin is either dead or capture.

The exact monologue goes like this:


"Chosen...? Cho...sen...? Can you... hear me...? The village dies... All of our futures die, too... We have little left in both time and essence...


Hurry...


Hurry........"

Anyway, enjoy your new Grimer (M), Laura. Merry Summermas! ^_^

Now, where I live, the Tree comes down in 2 days, 1 hour, 51 minutes, and 34 seconds... So, since Nate is nowhere to be seen, does anyone know which Pokemon he'd likely want more?

Croagunk...

Porygon...

He'll take one; I'll take the other.

Any ideas?
