Corgis are so adorable. I intend on getting one in the future. So why the Scythe obsession?

Orient in my understanding was the easten part of the world. China, Japan, Korea. Them sorta places. And by psuedo-insultive, I mean phrases that I can't find any way could be insultive, but are held extremely so by society.

I just either referred to the country by their specific name or referred to them as the 'East' or 'Eastern' countries. I'm not sure if society doesn't like the term 'oriental' but all I know is that I don't for whatever reason.

Anyways, change in subject.

Indeed, I don't really have much qualms about being refer to as orient seeing that I never put much emphasis on my actual ethnicity anyways, and it's not like i expect racists to be intelligent enough to bother to figure out my actual race in the first place. Still, I understand the meaning even if the delivery varies. If you're insulting me, what you say doesn't change that fact you're trying to insult me.

Exactly. All in all it was very confusing and hurtful for me as a little boy to be called such a thing. Even if I didn't quite understand why it was hurtful at the time.

The problem is, I'm not from the 'Orient'. To be from the 'Orient' by my definition is to be from China, which I'm not. My ethnicity is Vietnamese and you would be right, Lucius. Either politely ask which ethnicity we are instead of assuming, or just call us 'Asian' which is all-inclusive and general.

However, I may have taken this the wrong way, but 'pseudo-insultive'? What insults me as an individual, is insulting to me. The same goes for everyone else, don't dismiss or devalue what may or may not be to other people.

Well, my reasons for not liking the word 'orient' is because it was once used to refer to me in a derogatory way when I was younger, so I grew up not liking that term. I hope that provides enough explanation as to what I was talking about. But, I don't understand your 'North' statement.

I played as Lann, Vella, and Fiona. No matter how hard I tried to like the game, I could never play it long enough to really get into it.

LOLPoor dude. Though that's probably gonna end up being what Mai does. Flirts and being hit on goes right over her head.

Well, regardless if his passes goes over her head or not, that won't stop him from trying.

P.S. - If anyone cares, I've posted. xD

It is. Eviee. Well, Eviee from Mabinogi Heroes, which is basically what Vindictus is if your in the Orient.

I know, I used to play it. Odd to call it the 'orient', I never liked that word for some reason.

That looks like a character from Vindictus.

As Asmodeus attempted to listen in on Taiyo's and Mai's conversation, he decided that he no longer cared to spy on them. As Andrew's body grew too tired and drained unable to accommodate him, he sighed and closed both of his eyes shut. Grabbing the book from his lap, he removed it and set it next to him with its cover still face down. Removing Andrew's glasses, he returned it to his vest's inner pocket and put it away. He reached up and pinched the bridge of his nose, growing weary.

"I guess I've had my fill of fun for today, Andy-boy," he said to Andrew as he opened his eyes slightly to look out of the bus window.
Running a hand through his red hair, he placed his hands neatly in his lap.
"This body of ours is too weak. It can't seem to sustain me for very long when I take over," eyes growing heavy, he yawned. Covering his mouth as he did.
"Well, in any case I return control to you. Sleep well, Andy." Asmodeus said, his voice fading and growing quiet.

As Asmodeus' hold over Andrew slackened and relaxed, the ring of black diamonds encircling his eyes faded and vanished. Back in control of his own body, Andrew could barely hold on to his consciousness, struggling to stay awake. His body growing comfortable in his current position and with the sun's warmth beating down on him, he sighed as he finally conceded to sleep. Closing his eyes and keeping them shut, it didn't take him long at all before he faded into the darkness of sleep. His breath coming lightly and gently as he softly snored.

It was aimed at Ashil really. She can't keep her mouth shut when it comes to pointing out things. XD

Ah, I thought most of that was aimed at Andrew. Was about to break Asmodeus' poor heart for being shut down like that.
