Sklathill: alright stupid...it was a first time, and you
           learned some things...

Rimururu: Like you often reprimand yourself?

Sklathill: Well...besides that.  Everybody tells me to
           go easy when I critique...and now, when I go easy...

Nakoruru: Someone says you are too easy...right.  Why DIDN'T you
          point those things out?

Sklathill: Oh...I don't know...I thought I'd be recognized as
           Mr. hates everything and everything is wrong and blah
           blah...you know...

Rimururu: Uhm...no I don't know...

Sklathill: Well...I Mean, most people say I'm too hard when I
           try to teach people something...like music, or whatever...

Shizumaru: Okay.  There you go.

Sklathill: Eh?

Shizumaru: Teaching is a very different experience.  You go through
           a person as well as that person's creation.  With critiquing,
           you have to deal solely with the creation...I mean he's
asking
           you not to be a teacher, just to be a judge...be harsh if you
           want to!

Sklathill: Well...I guess...

Shizumaru: See?  Like that!  Be blunt!  Tell it as it is!  Sure, it is
simply
           an opinion, but it is YOUR opinion!  Tell it as it is...

Sklathill: But...maybe I should just quit at this...

Rimururu: Wait!  Don't quit!  You don't have to quit...it was only your
          first time.  You'll get better as time goes along...and
besides, you
          aren't going to be releasing that novella of yours anytime
soon...

Nakoruru: And besides...there's nothing else to do here...except eat,
          read fanfics, and spar with us.  And if you don't want to
analyze
          the fanfics, you might as well admit you do need the
practice...

Sklathill: (grimacing at the thought of the laceration across his
shoulder
           blade)  Yeah...I might as well go on...I will...Yeah!  I WILL
get
           better!

Rimururu: And besides, noone knows about us!

Sklathill: Oh yeah...that's right...Uhm...These are characters from the
           Samurai Spirits (or Samurai Shodown) series for the Neo Geo
           system.  Everyone has anime characters, so I decided some
           different people...and also...

Nakoruru: And "kodachi" is not just a gymnast...but it's also a small
sword,
          similar in size to the wazikashi, but having very small curve.
          Yes, it's a one edged weapon.

Sklathill: Thank you for that description.

Nakoruru: Your welcome.

Sklathill: Anyways...I've got a long stay here...so might as well go on
           with what I started...unless a sudden mass of people flood me
with
           messages saying "NO!  We HATE you C&C!"

Shizumaru: O_o

Sklathill: Well...you never know...until then...*ow*...I think I'll
rebandage
           me cuts...*oof*
