Hey, there Haku :D or frozen fishy, it's your turn to answer questions! I hope you're ready. Hakuren: I'm ready. Ask away, you foxy girl. 1. Haku do you have an aquarium at home? Do you like fishes? If so what is your favorite? I do believe that is more than one question. No matter. No, I don't have an aquarium at home or any other living being, actually. I'm usually not the type who stays in one place for long, although I do like staying at home from time to time. It's nice to have a warm place to relax in once winter comes around. Unfortunately, since I have more than one dwelling place, I can't really take care of any animal, since most of them wouldn't handle my lifestyle. Yes, I do like fish. I like them cooked, but I have nothing against them being fried. The fish I like the least is the one in soup, so that doesn't count. My favorite is salmon. It's the tastiest. I've tried other kinds as well, but nothing soothes my taste as salmon does. =3 2. Did you ever care about someone and did you have friends back home? Hmmm, if you mean that care is equal to love, then no, I haven't had any truly romantic interest in anyone, yet. Truth be told, I'm not too sure there is anyone out there who would fit the "soul mate" requirements, but if there is, then it would be very hard to find them and, since it's not currently my goal to find that person, I would say that it will be quite some time before I find someone. If you didn't mean "care" in that way, then sure. I have plenty of people. I ~care~ about all the clients I have. Why else would I help them with seeking information for their case. Of course, that doesn't mean I'm devoted or that I will do everything for them. As long as they return my ~care~, it's all well and good. Naturally, I have plenty of friends. Too many to count. However, the relationship I maintain with them differs from person to person. Some of them are just tools and others...tools again, I suppose. I would actually categorize a group as "experiments". There are those I simply like to have a conversation with. If I started naming all of them, it would take a rather long while until I finish, so I'll spare you the details. *smiles* I do have other categories as well, but it's best that a child like you doesn't get involved with that world. 3. Do you have family? Do you love them? I have a father and mother, like every human being out there. I love them as a son should, although I don't often pay them visits. As an independent person and information dealer, I have no intention to cling onto my parents. They have their own lives and so do I. As their child, I give them my respects, but we're not like all those families who gather around the table on holidays and have a jolly time. Those two rarely had the chance to meet each other in the past, so it's best for them to enjoy their time together while they still can, now that there are more and more opportunities opening for them. 4. I heard from a little fish that you're a believer of reincarnation. What do you think you were in your past life? I was myself and no one else. *smirks* 5. Do you want to leave Nowhere? Is something waiting for you back home? Currently, Nowhere is a very interesting place and I have no intention of leaving just yet, however, when our journey comes to an end, I will have no regrets taking my exit. My path lead me to this mysterious land, which I shall explore, but my path shall also direct me towards the exit, in order to return where I rightfully belong. In other words, I'll enjoy it while it lasts, but I won't be a crybaby when it's time to leave. Harper probably will create a river, though. He'll just have to build himself a bridge and get over it. Indeed, something is waiting for me back home and that is my future. What? You expected a tearful touching moment? You said "something", not "someone", dear fox. 7. What if you died in Nowhere and that was it. What if there is no continuation, just a definite end? Hmmm? No question 6? Heh, clever. Lets see...If there was no continuation...There would be after death but...you say that there would be no continuation...A definite end....A definite end....*moment of silence*....There is no such thing...as a...definite end...I will not accept such a thing. There will always be a continuation. Always...Always...*there is a dark aura looming over Hakuren and only his eyes stand our with a piercing cold blue gaze* (Me: N-now, now, Haku ^ ^" There is no end. Don't worry. There is a "to be continued". There is. *looks at Fox* Fox-chan. What do you want here? He'll really open Hell if you intimidate him.) 8. What is your favorite food? Anything sweet and anything spicy. I can't really pick one. Right now, I'm craving baklava, so lets go with that. 9. Do you like Leon? Leon is a sweet young chap. He'll make a fine companion and asset. It's a bit unfortunate that he's so hollow, but even a shell like him can get his act together as I have seen in the past, so I won't be giving up on this greenhorn just yet. If, by some chance, you meant "like" in some other form, no. I'm interested in becoming a "friend" of his, but nothing more. 10. Favorite hobby back in the human realm? Watching everyone and everything from the rooftops. It's a really enjoyable hobby once you get used to the fact that sometimes wind will blow in your face. It feels like you're closer to the sky and that you can touch the clouds and, if my chance you are in some little old forgotten town, the stars look wonderful during the night. 11. You always seem to carry a notebook around, do you draw from time to time? If so, what do you like to draw? Sometimes I do like to draw in it just for the fun of it. Here, this is something I jotted once out of boredom. [hider=drawing][img]http://i655.photobucket.com/albums/uu272/shadowwolfcat13/Arts/IMAG0352_zpsd63e5d10.jpg[/img][/hider] I can draw nicely when I'm serious about it, but since it's nothing more than some randomness, I wasn't too keen on the whole anatomy or anything specific really. Just some simple figures...They're called "pings", by the way. They don't have mouths, since they communicate through telepathics. The one called Ring is a girl and Ming is a boy. The latter is thugish, I suppose. Maybe even a little thugbirdish. Too bad I didn't give him a scarf. He's a total tsundere. Ring is that sort of girl who doesn't really notice others liking her. She's only interested in being friends and likes her normal life. ... Hehe, guess I just can't let myself go before I give even randomness some sort of meaning. 12. The most frightening experience you've ever had? Oh, this is a tough one. Hmmm. Most frightening experience...There were many when I was younger. For instance, the first time I actually got involved in a fight was rather frightening. From the current me's perspective, it wasn't much really, but from that little boy's viewpoint, it was a really surprising and extraordinary event. I had seen things like that in movies and heard about them. I knew it could happened and imagined even worse scenarios, but when the fight happened and blood got spilled I actually felt the sting of fear through my entire body. It's a good thing that I got myself together and ran away from that place or I would have been killed for real. But that can hardly count as frightening right now. I saw blood getting spilled countless times after that event, so it didn't scare me anymore. Hmmm. What should it be?...The most frightening experience. I can't really count the "lets pain the town red" event or "melly day". Hmmm. *sigh* There is Aksel's murder. That was indeed a shocker to say the least. No one saw it coming. Well, we did saw it coming when the bullet was shot and it hit him. It was the first time I actually saw someone die. I was frightening, indeed.... However, yet again, from the current me's view, that's no longer frightening. I saw Makani's murder. I saw a couple of people get killed when I was having a meeting with a client. Seems like they tried to ambush and kill my customer, but his bodyguards got to clean the floor with them without breaking a sweat. We carried on without even blinking. There are a few other people down the list, but it's best that you don't learn the whole thing. In the end, I can't really decide. Right now, none of my memories frighten me. 13. Best memory ever? It was when I realized my purpose. It just came to me one day when I was contemplating on what the meaning of existence was and why everyone bothered pondering about it in the first place. The moment I realized I wanted to discover the "meanings behind this world's phenomena", so to speak, was truly marvelous. Of course, my thoughts developed from that point on and I am currently walking on the road I believe in. A road I myself am building. When I finally understood in what direction I should build, that moment was pure bliss. 14. Who are your best friends? Can you tell us a bit about them? My best friends are Ame, Samir and Aika. You could say they are the only individuals I count as true friends. Hmm, maybe I should count Alen and Shiro, but those two are kids, so it's more like I taunt and tease them than consider them as people I can actually share my thoughts with. [hider=Ame]Ame is the youngest among us. A young girl who likes to hide under a hat and hood, because of the colour of her eyes being red. Ops, shouldn't have said that~ Heh, no big deal. It's better to spread some rumors about it anyway. She's a peculiar person when you first meet her. She'll talk to you, maybe even make you into her acquaintance, but you won't see a sign of her true self. Her wall is rather strong, you see. Due to her past, which I will not mention, she's grown cold and distant from people. But, truth be told, you wouldn't even notice that. To an outsider, it would appear that she is a trusting, reliable person, who is your kind friend. The little lady's just good at playing dumb. She'll make it so that you never notice the fact that you barely know anything about her. Personally, I wouldn't call that deceiving. Neither I, nor my friends truly deceive people. We simply spare them some truths. The best at this is yours truly, after that being Ame, then Samir and the one who always insists on being honest at all times is Aika. In any case, Ame is a lovely individual. When she's around us she actually shows some of her tsundereness. She can honestly be quite stubborn and childish, but she doesn't reveal this to anyone else. However, I hear there is a certain person she is interested in, whom may be able to look behind the curtains of the stage. Of course, they won't be able to see us, yet I believe that the two would be a good couple. Ame's still in denial, though. [/hider] [hider=Samir]Samir is a complicated person, to say the least. Every living being in existence is complicated, but he is a complication of the complication, which creates the entire complication we call a personality. Generally speaking, he's a rather optimistic guy. He likes to smile like the sun and laugh with his heart. Very cheerful and highly sociable, he's the type of guy who can fit in mostly anywhere. Go-lucky, easy-going, sometimes you'd think he's a little kid, since he's not the type who wouldn't suggest playing childish games. He can be pretty laid-back, too. If he so much as wished, he can find a way to procrastinate all day and avoid any kind of work. Not only that, he doesn't care where he is, as long as it's comfortable. Sleeping in a tree's no big deal for him, which is would probably surprise most people, considering how rich his family is. For the most part, this guy appears in the way described to the majority, but that's not all there is to him. As mentioned, Samir can fit in everywhere and I do mean everywhere. Unlike me, who simply adapts to the surroundings, yet remains the same to a certain extent, Mirchi takes adaptation to a whole new level. A sadist, a player, a victim, a gloomy lunch lady, a grumpy old fart, a surrealist. There's not a face he's not able to pull. He can change his entire personality in the blink of an eye and wouldn't feel bothered by it at all. This being said, his personality is not as simple as most think. Sometimes, you wouldn't be able to recognize him at all. The difference between one role and the other can be that big. However, in each and every state he enters, he is being honest. There is no fraud involved here. You shouldn't be surprised at all. Every person shows a different side of themselves to different people. Samir just has many sides and can change between them quickly. The only thing that can be said with certainty about this guy is that he has a brother complex. Or maybe even a family complex. I'd rather go with the first. Yes, Samir can not stop circling around his twin brother, Shay, who might I add is a greedy power-loving freak. The two have a normal brotherly relationship, if, of course, you count their willingness to kill anyone who tries to harm their sibling as something normal. In front of his twin, Samir only shows that friendly side of his I mentioned. The guy doesn't want to confess that he has a bunch of other people in his head, that's all. Although he won't admit it, Samir is only truly himself around us. Naturally, he treasures Shay more, but he can't do many things when with him. He can't complain, nor curse, he can't state his honest opinion on certain topics and so on. It's not because that Lord Orange is restricting him or anything. It's just that that twit doesn't want to burden his twin. Hehe, he's a very interesting person to observe. There are very few people out there who can stay sane and have this many personalities. The only thing I dislike about him is that he hates [i]beginnings[/i] and keeps searching for a [i]true ending[/i].[/hider] [hider=Aika]Last on the list is Aika. I do believe I've mentioned her before. Simply put, she's a workaholic. Never so much as thinks about her health. Likes doing everything to the smallest detail. She's straight-forward and very rarely lies. If she does lie, she'll have a boulder strapped on her back for awhile. Despite this, she's a very confident person. Trying to argue with her will lead you nowhere (not Nowhere, simply nowhere). Once she has voiced out her opinion, she will stand her ground to the very end. Most of the times, she's right, but if she is wrong, she would thank you for correcting her and do her best to reflect on it. The girl has this unhealthy obsession of proving her worth. She can't stop thinking about how she has to prove to the world that her existence is worth it, hence the workaholic trait. Even if she has slept for less than an hour, she will keep doing her job until she has succeeded. As I mentioned job, while Aika is involved with the underworld, she doesn't get dirty. She'd never take up such an offer. A proud virgin is what she is. A virgin, who can beat you up in less than five seconds without a drop of sweat. When you look at her, you wouldn't even think that she can hit properly. Maybe that's because she uses pressure points rather than brute force. She's not that thin, but she's definitely not chubby. Her chest area is nothing to boast about, really. But, back to the job thing, she'll take up spying and correspondence tasks most of the time. Rarely assassination. She prefers helping people out than killing them in any way and her kind of "helping" is something you can relate to. She doesn't use any kinds of tricks. If she sees you're in trouble, she'll try to aid you, in order to stop the chaos. However, if you are actually guilty of something, she will pass on proper judgement upon you. This young miss has a strong sense of duty and dislikes and form of lying, even my own. Aika is the first one I met our of our quatro. I won't go into detail how we met, since it's a very long story and I believe I ranted about Samir way too much. What I will mention is that we've been together the longest and that we went together to Sweden for a job. Lets say that there was a little investigation that had to be done without anyone noticing and we were hired to do it. There, she got to know Aksel and his gang at the tattoo parlor and spent quite a long time there. It was very odd. She, the proper student, the perfectionist, the law-abiding person, got to be friends with a bunch of alcohol-loving pierced crazy people, who had crazy hair styles, were at the bottom of education and could not hope to go higher than where they currently were. Yet she fitted in somehow and I had a fun time pestering her about it. When I got bored with her cold stare, I started annoying Aksel, which was even more enjoyable, since he actually reacted. He threw things at me, he chased me with all sorts of dangerous items and was very angry whenever he saw me. We did have our good times, though. Aika would simply sigh and watch to the side. She knew I was just doing it in order to get a reaction from him and, while he did do it out of anger for the first month or so, afterwards the whole thing became a game and simply for the laughs. We had some very good memories there. In the end, we had to leave, but we came back every year for a couple of months. The third year we went there I was the only one to leave. She stayed, since she liked the group of friends she made. Of course, there was that personal investigation she had, taking to the spirits of the north and so on, but it's best not to get started on that topic. I'd go to Sweden every year to annoy the life out of them, but as I said, it wasn't serious. It was simply fun. However, good things don't really last long, now do they. One night, me and Aika were just walking down the road and heading to the forest, in order to see the fireflies [s]and the spirits[/s], when we saw Aksel in profile. I called out to him in my usual manner, with that grin of mine, but he was pale and turned his head sharply towards us, telling us to stay back. Unfortunately, it was a bit too late, for he got shop then and there. I'll spare you the details, but it was the first and only time I saw Aika cry. Pretty emotional it was. After that little incident, we go there every year to take a photo, since it became a tradition. I personally got over the whole thing, but I can't say the same for her. Overall, I'm just friends with Aika, although our relationship might seem strange to others. Our ideals are different, after all, so it's common for the two of us to argue. When that happens, we're both very calm, but it's as if there's an ice blizzard in the room. Aika can not trust me, because of my nature, and I can also not completely trust her, seeing as she's so inclined to help people. However, I know her enough to predict what she could do, so it's not a problem. When we're not in a conflict, we've been told that we behave like an old married couple. She reminds me of things and I remind her to eat. We check our schedules, even though there's barely anything written on them, and point out if there's something that doesn't match. She doesn't live with me, but comes by often just to check if I haven't been killed or something. It's always a delight to see her and how innocent she is. Well, she knows about the things I do, so she's not that innocent, but that honesty of hers is pretty cute. But don't be mistaken here. Despite all of this, I am in no way interested in her romantically. That girl's heart belongs to Aksel, even if that idiot's dead. By the way, just between you and me ;), Aika is a samodiva, a being which is not truly human, despite her appearance being such.[/hider] I did mention Shiro and Alen, but they're little kids, who just joined our "annual meeting", as we like to call it. Every now and then, me, Ame, Samir and Aika will meet in this forest in a little meadow surrounded by four big trees. It's our secret place, so to speak. Those two children found us out by accident and promised not to tell anyone on the condition that they come as well. There's not much to say about them, since they're little and their personalities are still simple. Shiro is a bright little girl. Very friendly and helpful. Maybe a bit tomboyish. She doesn't mind picking bugs and climbing trees. Usually the one who'll suggest ideas, ask questions and drag Alen everywhere. Alen is the mumble boy. A lot like Harper, actually. He's a klutz and gets hurt easily, but does his best to catch up to Shiro. Not the best runner, nor the kind to object his companion's demands, he gets pushed around, but doesn't seem to mind, since the girl never means to harm him. (While I admit that Hakuren and Aika were created in the same day for the same role-play, they were never meant to be friends with each other, nor with the mentioned characters. Everything grew steadily over time as I made connections between their stories. In the end, I cam up with something really nifty X3 Hakuren, who dislikes the thought of an "absolute ending", represents spring, the season of beginning. Ame, the girl who enjoyed time spent with her friends the most, represents summer, the season of fun and vacation. Samir, the one who could never chose one colour and fades away from the memories of people, represents autumn, the season of fall, one which is near the end, yet can not find it. Aika, the girl of white hair, who is cold in her honest and loves the truth, represents winter, the season of rest and eternal snow.) 15. Do you think you'll ever be able to leave? I will definitely leave Nowhere. *smirks* Collecting these items is enjoyable and I will definitely look forward to our future quests. Aaaaand, cut! Break time. (Yes, I have to go out again X< Will finish this when I get back)
