FMA 13 and a success in book browsing.

Quote of the Day: "Punch him in the head!"
~~XD Edward's got Roy's fate all planned out...~~

music: Kesenai Tsumi ~ fullmetal alchemist ending theme (i've finally repented against the tv and am wearing my headphones)


FINALLY got FMA 13. Had to cancel all my other downloads though, cause my DN Angel source doesn't have 11-13, so I found another place where I downloaded all 26 in one shot. It's at 23%, 38 hours to go. Eek. My internet may not last two and a half days straight... ah well, as long as I get my hands on 11-13, I'll live.

So yeah, Fullmetal Alchemist 13 was damn good (and damn funny). Ed's imitation of Roy was PRICELESS, it had me falling off my chair giggling, as well as the whole dog situation with Lieut Hawkeye and co. Roy's introduction to the dog was great, too.

Roy: *marches into room and grabs dog, holds it up and inspects it*
Roy: A dog?
*two seconds later*
Roy: PERFECT! ^_______^

And then he goes on with his big dogs-are-slaves-that-don't-complain speech (which was kinda cruel but incredibly entertaining, especially his facial expression), and later with his "When I rule the military, I will make all women wear miniskirts!!" which earned him total loyalty from Havok and a sigh and glare from Hawkeye. XD Womanizer. Kinda gave it away too when he and Edward were about to duel and someone yelled "Give me back my girlfriend!"

Roy and Ed's duel was excellent, I must say, from Roy's provocation (Ed still keeps his record of one freakout bout his height per ep) to Ed's little trick, using a "snowman" with his jacket to fool Roy. The best was probably the end when they were cleaning up together, and Roy looked up wearing what we now call his "huh" expression, eyes half closed. Quite cute. Lemme find it...

Huh?

Hope that works.

So, other than fangirlishly obssessing about FMA, went downtown for a while. Got...what did I get again..Oh, got a fountain pen for inking (*rejoice*) which seems to work much better than my old and war-torn Microms and Sakura pens. Am currently trying to draw Ed in my agenda, who will be followed eventually by Roy, if Shaz and Alicia stop writing letters where I'm sposed to write my homework. Other than that I got Jack Higgin's new Dillon-centered book, Bad Company (which I've read half of so far) so I'm happy I don't have to wait six months for it to come out in hardcover like I did with Midnight Runner.

Went to visit my uncle and cousin after, and got a twenty dollar gift certificate for books, which I'm gonna spend on mangas. Also got from him one of Akira Kurasawa's films, the Hidden Fortress. Gonna see if that's any good.

Must got eat left over cake now. In the words of an icon featuring Ed, "Everything I know I leanred by killing smart people and eating their brains."

My cosplay misadventures.

music: Stupid TV is on T_T They're doing the weather right now. Like I really care.


I have a tendency to improvise cosplay, on purpose or just without realising it. My usual outfit during the summer was mostly a striped sailor-style t-shirt and light blue jeans, which is of course Ryou/Yami B's manga Battle City outfit. Throw a dark blue shirt on top of that, I've got his anime Battle City outfit, and if I use my beige sweater, his Duelist Kingdom outfit. Of course, it wasn't all exact (as in I didn't bother dying my hair white) but it was improvising, which is what I'm doing tonight.

Because my hair is still straight, it's medium length, and my "bangs" are straight and end at my chin. I'm not blonde or anything, but braiding my hair and leaving the sides loose is a pretty decent immitation of Edward's (FMA) hair. So I decided to take it the whole way. I have a pair of black pants (not the sexy leather he wears, but close enough) and a sleeveless black shirt on top. Throw on my longsleeve black sweater, it's not a bad immitation. I've got his boots too (like it's SPOOKY how much they look alike) and a long coat, though it's brown, not red. So for now I'm just having some fun =D

New obssession.

~~New insults for all courtesy of the inkeeper at Euswell Mine~~

music: The White Tree ~ rotk soundtrack


I am officially on the way to being obssessed with Fullmetal Alchemist. It''s GOOD. Actually, it's excellent. Watched eps 8-11 yesterday and 12 this morning. Something went wrong when I was downloading 13, so it's in the process right now. 2 hours left.

7 and 8, I must say, were rather disturbing, going from Nina (that was just...disturbing) to *snort* Barry the Chopper (that was, if possible, almost more disturbing). And, as a record, Edward cried two eps in a row. On a brighter side, we got to see him with his hair loose, for however brief a period of time. That was cute. I've also been keeping a record that he has at least one hissyfit regarding his height every ep.

In ep 13, we apprently get to see more of Roy (*drool*), so am waiting patiently for that. On the note of eps 11 and 12, I hope I'm not the only one who took an immediate liking to Russel as soon as I laid eyes on him XD He's VERY cool. I know his voice from another anime but I can't quite place it. Also, it was pretty funny hearing Kruuze's voice coming from that other dude. Kinda spooked me the first time.

So, while I'm waiting for ep 13, I might just put my talent as a fanartist to work.

.....Blah.

Quote of the Day: "There was no lie in Pippin's eyes. A fool - but an honest fool."
~~That's Pip.~~

music: Minas Tirith ~ rotk soundtrack


I think I've officially gotten myself hooked onto FullMetal Alchemist. Its just SO COOL. Pray they don't license it any time soon *knocks on wood three times*.
I'm still only at ep 7, now waiting for 8 and 9 to finish downloading, but it's great. And it'll be easy with me to catch up with since only 12 eps are out. I'm not sure if they come out on a weekly basis or what. So when I'm done all twelve of FMA, I'll go back to finish my downloads of DN Angel.

Best ep so far in FMA in my opinion is 5, because not only is Roy oh so cool in it *drool* but Edward has some great stunts too. I fell off my chair laughing during the scene where he looked through the train window upsidown and stuck it his tongue out. That was hilarious. I want that as my ava but can't capture the damn thing. I'd kill to be able to just frame that on my wall. Priceless.

Only forty more minute till ep 8 finishes downloading..*eye twitch*

Short?!?!?!

XD

Full Metal Alchemist is great.

I just finished watching episodes 1 to 5, and it's soooo good. The graphics and character illustrations is really good, not as graceful as maybe DN Angel, but still really well done. Edward has great hissyfit expressions when he gets pissed off, especially when people call him short (and he IS short). I love his hair, too. Hafta say that Lieutenant Roy Mustang's pretty hot, too.

Gonna go find more eps now...

New anime(s)

Quote of the Day: "Maybe you love Hiwatari-kun."
~~Dark's twisted logic, ep 4~~

music: Minas Morgul ~ rotk soundtrack


ANNOUNCEMENT!
Because this is Nazgul 5 of Minas Morgul, I hereby claim the song Minas Morgul from the Return of the King soundtrack as my theme song.

So nyah.

ANYWAY.

Have discovered a new anime: DN Angel. Atcually, discovered it a while ago, but have gone back to it now that I found new episodes. Funny how everytime I try to watch something, it always gets liscenced. Happened to Gundam Seed, and now this. Thankfully, there's still a few distributors out there who haven't given up on it.

So far, I've seen eps 1-8. I think I'm just going to download 9-26 in one shot so I have 'em all before they're removed.
My thoughts: KEWL. It's actually quite good. I didn't think it would be this good. The graphics are excellent, the characters cute, and the plotline pretty cool. Dai is adorable, Dark is SeXaY, and I must say Satoshi is very much Eriol from Cardcaptor Sakura. Seriously. Plus he's got Asuran's voice (Why must Asuran's voice be so sexy?). Saw Krad for the first time this morning watch ep 4 (I watched them backwards, 5-8 first, then 1-4). So yeah, Krad ownz you all.

Also downloaded first few eps of Full Metal Alchemist. Gonna see if that's any good, then gonna play Lufia all day.

Merry X-masssss, precious.

Quote of the Day: "We will see the Shire again, Pippin."
~~Merry to Pip before he's carried off by Gandy the Bleached~~

music: The Steward of Gondor ~ rotk soundtrack, featuring a solo from Pip


Faired pretty well on X-mas day, if I do say so meself.

Attended 10:00 mass last night. Didn't see anyone I knew except Marco the don from gardenview. He's at the senior campus now.

Didn't sleep very well, don't know why. Slept for about two hours from 5:30 to 7:30, then woke up and opened my very first gift, which, of course, was the soundtrack from the Return of the King *squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee*
Which I listened to most of the morning. I wanna review my fav songs a bit before I go on.

A Storm is Coming, the first song, it's cool in the sense that it weaves alot of themes from the first two soundtracks in a whole knew way. Of course you have the original theme of LotR, then going into a Shire-type melody with that wind instrument, followed by a more picked up rythm that's a bit like a Shadow of the Past from FotR. It's short, and it has the different aspects and moods. I do believe it's the scene of Deagol's murder.

Minas Tirith ish cool. It has the slow theme and then rises as Gandalf an Pippin reach the White City, and its central theme itself is well woven, I think it reflects the city well. The White Tree, the song following it, is a bit scattered, but pretty cool nonetheless. It centers more on the history of the city and the Tree and Citadel themselves instead of the grand picture all in one.

The Steward of Gondor ISH THE BEST. Yes, because Pip has a solo. But it's sad towards the end, mostly because that's the scene where Faramir and his army are riding to their suicide battle, and it's all Denethor's fault. Pip's song is still the best, though. Amazing voice.

Minas Morgul IS AWESOME. The song brings in the power of the orginal Barad-dur theme which we didn't hear in TTT (only very briefly and quietly), but because this is NOT Barad-dur, it's different - this is the realm of the Witch-King of Angmar, the second most powerful being in Mordor, and his tower is incredible. The theme itself captures the image of the tower perfectly by keeping the same power of Barad-dur theme, and yet twisting it to fit the scene of the fell beasts flying over a black tower bathed in an eerie green light.

Cirith Ungol is short and to the point. The beginning is kind of like Ithilien's theme, the Forbidden Pool, but a bit more Mordor-ish, and then you have the Shire-like insert part which brings us back to Frodo and Sam. The end is the theme from Argonath, which works well.

Shelob's Lair (which is creepy as hell and a personal fav) is the Passage of the Marshes of RotK. The beginning part carries the exact same mood as the Passage of the Marshes and the same feeling of forboding. Then you have the quiet treading which was in the Taming of Smeagol, and then it just takes off with the chase theme when she's going after Frodo, and let me tell you it puts you at your wits end. It gave me the impression she was lurking under my bed somewhere. It's very well done and creepy.

I have not had a chance to hear the entire thing past The End of All Things, but I have heard the end theme, Into the West, which is pretty good. Overall, I think it's almost as good as TTT and as good as FotR (if not better), and people haven't been giving it enough credit.

OKAY.

Now that I've done that.

I also got the Visual Companion to RotK (which completes my collection) and the 2004 16-month calendar. That was my LotR paraphanelia. From my cousins I got Berty Botts Every Flavoured Beans (people, I'm warning you now, don't eat Booger, my aunt almost barfed). I also got some bookmarks, a picture frame and two t-shirts and a shamrock charm for my bracelet.

In books I got Eragon, the Wish List, and Inkheart, all of which I've considered reading, so now I just have to finish the Silmarillion and I'll be all set. Didn't get any art supplies (*sob*) nor GBA games, so I'll have to sum up the money I get from my Nonni to get myself a game. Either Golden Sun, one of the new Yu-Gi-Oh ones, or Magi Nation. In terms of CDs I got Lumidee (yay), Dido's new one, Thalia, and The Thrills, an Irish band, which was a gift from my aunt's Irish boyfriend (a Dubliner; pretty nice guy).

So I'm going to spend my time listening to RotK now. Merry X-massss.

THE EYEBALL

If you can't see it (damn you) it's just a box that says "I adopted Sauron Jr, and there's A PLASTIC EYEBALL WITH LITTLE RED FLAMES IN BACK AND ITS HILARIOUS *dies cackling*

And then there's one "Keeper of Pippin's Apple" XD

Melkor ish cool!

Quote of the Day: "But it is not this day!"
~~Best part of Aragorn's speech before the battle of Cormallen~~

music: Evenstar ~ isabel bayakdarian


GAH.
I was just starting to blog when the power went out T_T
So I'm back to finish what I began.
Huzzah.

I've memorized not only every song from the soundtracks of both LotR movies, but every single line from the movies as well. I can recite both three-hour long movies without stopping. With the accents too. I've only seen RotK twice though, but so far the best line (apart from all of Smeagol and Pip's) is Aragorn's big speech before the battle of Cormallen, especially his "But it is not this day!!" It's one of those lines that randomly comes to mind that I can just say out of nowhere for fun. Sort of like "For sun is rising!" from the Two Towers.

On the subject of Melkor, I'm re-reading the Silmarillion for the second time. Don't ask why. Was at the hairdressers again for two and a half hours today (Shani hair) and plowed through eight chapters. So yeah, Melkor ish cool. I've always liked him. I hate the name Morgoth though, I wish they'd just stuck to Melkor. It's much more sexy. He's like the Sephiroth of the Valar. Or Alex from Golden Sun. Cirdan the Shipwright ish cool too.

That's the thought of the day. Going to go play with my Shani hair now.

SO bored

music: Six million ways to Live ~ dub pistols


I'm so bored I'm blogging. How pathetic is that?

Finished reading Evangelion 6, the one were Toji was piloting Unit 03. I'd read the summary before and knew what happend, but that still didn't help it from being incredibly disturbing. Poor Toji. Am going to shoot someone if I have to wait any longer for a manga with Kaworu in it.

And Shinji still looks like Alibaba.
*sigh*

Yes I'm actually going to blog now.

Quote of the Day: "What has Smeagol EVER done to him?!"
~~Smeagol poking fun at Sam~~

music: Never There ~ cake


Yeah I know, no blogging for like two days straight. Been tired. Making up for it now, on the first saturday of X-mas vacations. >=D In the words of Azrael, yatta!

Thursday was a draaaag. Typing test first period which I completely screwed up, getting 72 words per minute and 88 accuracy, which gave me a 95%. Mr Brochu said I could come back the first schoolday next year at lunch to retake it and perhaps get at least an 98%. But I must type with all ten of my fingers. Which really really sucks, considering I type regulary with only two or three of them.

Engrish was perhaps the most boring subject I've ever sat through. We did absolutely NOTHING, and even at that it was boring. Mrs Coconis did bring us hot chocolate, however, and Amanda took the time to bump into me and spill it all over my white blouse. Nice.

I was supposed to have an early dismissal (was being pulled out before math to go see LOTR. Seriously). But missed the first five minutes of science because apparently Mrs Lagodich had lost my note. Finally got it sorted out, sat through half an hour of science, and left to go see Smeagol and co. Love this movie. Shall review it perhaps later today.

Yesterday, our last day of torture before the holidays, was not as bad as anticipated. Evil music student teacher left and we were finally able to play without being stopped in the middle of every song, but we only got to play ONE freaking song because people took a million years to finish their playing tests. Brought my music sheets and trombone home, though. Still don't know how I fared on my theorie test.

Had freee time in french too, and Fo lost her voice so we didn't have to present our oral *heaves huge sigh of relief*. For the most part, Alicia and I watched the guys play cards. Oh, and we got our candee-o-grams too. Got one from Vero, one from Druggie (saying I love Jon T.T;; which is total bull) two from Kaiba-kun, one from Reina, one from Dia (we're gonna go see LOTR again together =D) one from Ri-chan, and one from Tanisha-san.

We missed engrish to see the dance show, which was pretty good. And usual, Terri, Shalesh and Jo did really well, and Terri showed us all she can do a pretty amazing backflip. There was one middle-east style dance were I caught Azrael out of the corner of my eye dancing XD Told him later and he asked me if it was good. Flahed him thumbs up.

At lunch, we hung about downstaires and saw him again (got locked out of his homeroom *snort*) and then had duty upstaires in the place d'Acceuil, where we followed him around.

In math, couldn't really talk to Theo thanks to the number of times he gets in trouble, which eventually caused his desk to be dragged in front, further away from me. He, of course, didn't let up with turning around to talk to me, but by the end of it, Jamgotchian let us out without a problem. Vive les vacances.

O_o;;

Quote of the Day: "Would you like me to throw a snowball at you?"
~~Mme Tremblay's methods of scaring us off~~

music: Michishirube ~ shani - err, shuni miyamoto (third fav shani song @_@)


Last day 6 of the year. Blah. Not that bad, though. Tiring, but not bad. Ri-chan came by in the morning and gave me this x-mas santa clause hat thing that she was using for the dance after school and let me wear it. So needless to say, in a strictly no-hats school, I wore a hat the whole day.

In french, Alex and I got sent to the comp room by Mme O'Hurley to type something up for her. We spent the first half hour of class there, then listened to the orals of some of the others and listened to some Bob Marley songs courtesy of Elijah.

In engrish, we did...well, nothing. Exciting. At all. Amanda has this little game thing where you can pick a number and match yourself up with a guy. I kept picking thirteen, cause it's meh lucky number, and I got Adam (poke-kid) the first time *sweatdrop* then, believe or not, Jon, and THEN, as if the universe was having a good laugh at me, Shamie of all people.

In history, I thought for sure we were going to prep for exams or something, but instead Mr de Blois gave us an entire free period. He ish so cool. Yin, Alicia and I drove Nick crazy and wrote on his arm, his agenda, and his pencil case. I also made my own pick-your-own guy/gal thing, and put Nick as number 1 and kept telling everyone to pick 1, much to his chagrin. Also wrote whorefish on his arm. It's my new word. According to Linda from drama, who passed it on to me, it's actually in the dictionnary. O_o

At lunch, went down to the rec room with Reina, Ri-chan and Vero, and chatted with Mrs Kay until Azrael had duty. Talked to him very briefly (he looked kind of busy) and pushed Ri-chan into Zaib several times.

Moral was too boring to elaborate on, besides Jon being an idiot for most of it. Kaiba and I went outside afterwards, are started throwing snowballs at each other, when lo and behold Mme Tremblay (who I've never had as a teacher but who hates my guts) walks out and threatens to either throw a snowball at us or suspend us. We were off the school property very, very fast.

There's an article sitting on the kitchen table about Smeagol.

Excuse me while I go read it.

Will make this quick cause I'm leaving in twenty minutes

Quote of the Day: "Eets lika tsunami spleet!"
~~Shamie in science class~~

music: Sheba ~ golden sun


Blogger erased both my posts yesterday so I didn't end up blogging, so of course I'm taking the last twenty minutes before I go to school.

Anyway.

Here's what happened:

This was kinda the break point between school and x-mas holidays, casue after day 5, I kinda have a pretty leisurely week, despite math. It wasn't that bad though. In french, Fo, Pat, Alex and I escaped to the library to work on our projects. Our oral was due yesterday, but she said we can do it friday, so we just need to get our info set and we're pretty much ready.

In science, we had an open book oral test, where she'd ask us one measely question and then grade us (rather unfairly I might add, since some people who answered the question decently got pretty pathetic marks. As if the teacher knows what she's talking about. Yeah right). Shamie also decided to be random by breaking the silence with one of his usual "eet is banana spleet!" becoming "eets lika tsunami spleet!" all staying in the spirit of science.

Math was the usual: blah. Theo kept me awake, and we got like the entire textbook to study for january exams. But, for the very first time all year, we have no homework. If you don't count studying. So that's not bad. I don't have math anyway today so the effect is kinda downsized XD

At lunch, hung out with Ri-chan and she helped me study for my theorie test in music. We had like a whole page on tons and demi-tons (tons, not TONS) which confused me one helluva alot, but now at least I know where the sharp and flats are on the piano, which I had long forgotten. Hope I did well. Could hear Dia the whole time next to me muttering "la bemol..."

After all that, Kaiba-kun and I went upstaires to Mrs Kay's room to help her with the candee-o-grams. We ended up taking the recycling out for her too, and wandered downstaires to, tadah, see Azrael. I asked him where to dump the recycling and, as usual, he was clueless.

Outside, got snow thrown in my hair by Kaiba and pelted him with a snowball (he's like a sitting targer, he must think I can't hit or something). An iceball in the arm is what you get for that.

So yeah, saw the Return of Aragorn the King who Bathed on monday night. Best movie ever ever ever ever ever PIP GOT SO MUCH SCREEENTIME *spontaneously combusts*. It. Was. Amazing. Pip even sang, and he's got such an amazing voice too. Can't wait to see it again, and I'll do a full recap then. For now, gotta get to school.

That's twice blogger erases my post now.

I'm going to go sue someone. Be back to blog when I have the patience for it

Movies and misadventures.

Quote of the Day: "Are you mad because they make you wear skirts?"
~~Saw the Last Samurai. *proceeds to picture Yzak in a traditional kimono*~~

music: Aqua Rock ~ golden sun


It was *puts on Autin Powers voice* mooovie day today. Other interesting things happened, however.

In homeroom, Mrs Lagodich sent one and only Jon of the Idiot Trio to do attendance for Mme Capedelaine's room, along with Marlo. Last incident had him asking me to erase his name from the absentee list cause he couldn't do it himself. *rolls eyes* Anyway, after making a fool of himself a couple of times and having me scold him, he actually got it right.

In engrish, we seperated boy from girls and just...well, talked, I guess, like the time last week when the woman from some organization or another had come in. It was considerably noiser, I think cause there were more guys, and I guess it just wasn't working like it was last time (when we actually put effort into it).

In math, did blah. Talked to Theo. He is my source of entertainment in this class. Tried to kill my calculator again to no avail.

At recess, we got ourselves packed to go to the movies. Walked halfway there with Marriam until we split up when she got annoyed of the idiots kicking up snow behind us. Walked with Reina and Alex the rest of the way there.

In the theatre, sat with Ri-chan and Tanisha. Good movie, the Last Samurai. Gave me a chance to hear japanese outside of anime. Taught Ri-chan bunch of obsur japanses words throughout it. At least now if she ever goes to japan she can say "yes", "no" and "idiot".

Afterwards took the bus home with Dia and Tanisha. Dia has dance till five, and afterwards is coming over here so we can be picked up to go see SMEAGOL! (LotR). Tanish came over since she didn't want to take the train home, but had to anyway. Kaiba-kun did a pit-stop here and I nearly got caught with him (hugging him, mind you) XD In which case I would have been either boiled alive or thrown into a box until I was thirty.

Going to get ready to go see Smeeeeagol now.

Stuff and a strategy

Quote of the Day: "Preciousss..."
~~Getting ready for the premier of Smeagol (LOTR) tomorrow~~

music: Lemuria ~ golden sun


Not a very eventful day. Spent my morning doing science homework and my afternoon at the mall (involuntarily, mind you). Mother told me we were just going to "pick something up". We eneded up spending three hours there instead, X-mas shopping for my cousins in N.B T_T

On the subject of Golden Sun, have won the game three times now, and I'm getting bored, so I've decided to train a bit, bring my levels up and come up with some strategies. Here's a pretty good one, the Windwaker(no, not Zelda =P) strategy, or Kite/Catastrophe. It goes as such, and it's pretty useful against all battles in general, especially boss battles, and even works against that great oaf Dullahan that guards Iris:

Results all depend on levels and items equipped, but here it is anyway:

Your battling party should consist of Sheba first, then Ivan, then Felix (equipped with the Sol Blade) and Isaac (equipped with Masamune).

Djinn
Sheba: Sheba should have 9 Jupiter djinn on her, all on standby except for two. Doesn't matter which two. They'll increase her wind power.
Ivan: Ivan should have 9 Jup djinn as well, all on standby EXCEPT Kite. Kite is vital, keep it on Ivan and set.
Felix: Felix should have a bunch o' Venus djinn on him, all standby.
Isaac: Isaac should have 3 Venus and 6 Mars, all standby.

For the first turn, either Sheba or Ivan will go first, usually before the enemy considering they're so fast, followed by Yzak, then Felix.
So:

Sheba casts Charon (you DO have him, right?)
Ivan casts Kite on Sheba
Felix attacks (preferrably with Sol Blade)
Isaac attacks or uses psyenergy or whatever

As long as your opponent isn't a djinn screwer-upper or doesn't down Sheba or Ivan on the first turn, you're safe. Actually, Sheba is really the one you want to live right now.
Second turn, providing you're all still alive:

Sheba casts Catastrophe
Sheba casts Catastrophe (you used Kite, she goes twice.)
Ivan summons anything remotley powerful
Felix attacks or heals
Isaac attacks or heals

Because Charon is so powerful, you're enemy will already be dented a bit. Not only that, Charon raises Sheb's wind power, and she's already pretty powerful, being a Magicien and having the two Jup djinn set to her. The first Catastrophe will raise her wind power even more, and the second Catastrophe should be deadly because of that. Depending on who you're fighting, you could be dead by now or you could keep on attacking. If you're fighting Dullahan, I reccommend one of the Venus djinn on Isaac is Granite, and set it so he can use that so you won't die on the first turn. It should still work that way. If you're entire team is knocked out, the follow-up team should rip apart your enemy with more summons. Here's a bonus: if you have Iris, you're follow-up team will be able to use her(if all djinn are on standby), and thus revive everyone from your first team.

You win >=D

So that's my thought of the day.

Screwing around with templates.
Please ignore anything screwy, as it will be fixed in a short while, after a likely unsuccessful attempt to make myself a new template.
