Rina's problem's have much more to be explained still, and she'll be going threw much more. Remember, a lot of what's happeneing to Rina did happen in the real world too.

Threw = through

I am the queen of spelling freaks, sorry.

And what do you mean by the real world? Someone you're familiar with?

The vanguard thing is cool. Definitely gotta give you props for that one.

The scenario of Rina's mental problems are greatly inspired of something I was involed in in 2000. This is hardly autobiographical however, infact, most of the reasons behind Rina's problems are completly different then her real world counter part.

There was a girl however, she saw things that wern't there, she could be normal one moment then suddnly running away untill she struck a wall, everything from night terrors to holding me at knife point and laughing maniacly. The real story isn't in finding the problem, the real story is in dealing with it and realising how it effects those around her. How the situation ends with her will be radically different however, in the real world it was actually rather anti-climatic as many things in the real world are.

I'm also trying to create 'familular' situations, actually, that's the whole point. Everything the different characters do is supposed to feel a lot like the different events in real peoples lives. From the big dramas that we don't tell anyone about, to standing in the middle of a cafeteria and feeling no 'safe' and familular place to sit down.

Makes sense...but I can't help but feel that Minako and Sakamae are hurting her rather than helping her but keeping the whole thing a secret.

How soon would you have the third part done? And you really oughta try typing them in script form...just a suggestion.

DOKool and I will are cooperating on the script conversion actually. I've also been running the different cultural aspects off him, since I HAVE made some mistakes.

In the rough draft you saw there, the part about the Japanese language was off, and It needs to be fixed. Atashi is feminin, Boku is masculine, and Watashi is neutral, so that joke has been fixed.

Second person to pick up on threw lately

Anyways, I'll get you the corrected version sometime tomorrow, hope you don't mind the delay.

As for hiding Rina... as bizzare as it may sound, I think the explaination given later in the text is pretty reasonable for Japan. Besides, it makes the plot more interesting

It would make sense, I guess.

Scripts are fun! I prefer them over story-style writing now...though that's not such a good thing, since I haven't been able to get much work on my novel-type stuff lately....

Can't wait to read the script versions!

And how I despise actual screenplay format. The whole set direction is EVIL. Have fun with that Izumi (if you ever get the chance)....EVIL...EVIL I tell you~!!!

I don't really like scripts, though I don't have too much against them. Story style still makes more sense to me; but, obviously, scripts have their function...

The story still gives you a bit more descriptive flexibility... on the other hand, something tells me the scripts might be longer

Here's a treat for you, I've finalized the Tachibana Mk5 insignia.

Now, it dosn't say 'Tachibana High School' twice. At the top in Kanji it SHOULD read 'Tachibana International High School' (I needed 6 characters so it'd balance out. LOL)

The Romanji above the white center crest now reads: "Subate Wa Kitto Kono Te Ni Aru", where as before it read "Suwate Kito Konno Te Ni Aru". It was wrong because I was typing it based on how it SOUNDED. I've gotten it correctly spelled now. It means "Everything is in these pair of hands"

The Red Kanji in the center is 'ikkiichiyuu', it means 'Hope' specficly: now rejoice, now worry; alternate hope and fear; mixed blessings; joys and sorrows;. I picked this specfic word for hope because it applys well. Before, I had actually just sampled Kanji from some fanart picture, and it turns out that it actually read 'Ayanami'. Of course, this had to be fixed.

The red dot in the middle, is of course, the rising sun of Japan, and that has remained the same.
