>>25681355
Oh, and before you ask, if any of you care, she's fine. I guess the preventative IV cocktail and general luck + the immune system of youth protected her, where my lack of a tube in the hand, usual shitty luck + oldness didn't. I'm fairly sure of this, since I've called at least six times over the last day or so to make sure, earning me the exasperation of my coworkers.

>>25681473
Oh, and as a general piece of advice from a health professional: Don't try eating pasta for lunch when you're feeling a bit queasy. Just stay on the safe side of things.

How's it going, bud?

>>25681355
Shit, forgot my tripfag hat. Old habits die hard.

Holy shit posting in a Nurse-kun thread?

>>25681649
Just going to post random pictures now, since moving too much is bad and stuff.

>>25681771
Indeed you are. Here, have a...uh...this?

>>25681833
Excellent, I've never been in a Nurse-kun thread before sir.

So she's doing okay?

I wanna join your cause too, emo-kun

Holy shit, this is legit.
Delicious Nurse-kun, I must age.

Long time no see Nurse-kun.

Anon delivers.

Morning nurse-kun, just got in from my night shift too. Anonymous also works in a residential home.

>>25681872
Posting between horrible botchings of EBA stages. Yes, she's fine, not even a case of the sniffles. Hopefully, I'll have recovered by tonight's shift-start, but if not, I'll try and trade with someone for Sunday; I try not to get too full of myself, but when I've missed a few days before, she's gotten more...troubl...ing...than usual.

i want a Nurse-kun to love me =(

what do you mean troubling? also, how's the adoption thing going?

This may be a old wives tale, but I found that if I take a decent dose of Zinc and Vitamin C, I'm able to overcome most minor sicknesses.

Zinc's hard to come by in food sometimes, but supplements are cheap.

Wow, people still sage Nurse-kun threads?

This is the reason Nursie is taking care of that kid.

>>25681962
Curse you, Bowie, and your confounding oil-baron stage, too.

Oh yeah? Well, another night's work done, my /b/rother, enjoy your day (what you have of it). I'd normally be there for another few hours yet, but my puking all over various things/people convinced them to send me home mid-way through last night's, and into tonight's, too.

Her missing legs? Well, yeah, that is at least 30% of why she's in my care facility, under my supervision.

Rofl, more Nurse-kun posts in this threads than the usual "HOLY FUCK POSTING IN A NURSE-KUN THREAD" posts.

Posting in a Nurse-kun thread.

>>25682084
Well, hard to take stuff when what goes down comes back up. But yeah, my supplements shelf space is not inconsiderable, though not ridiculous, either.

>>25682017
Try your local classifieds. I'm sure there are plenty of lonely nurses out there looking to love, too.

So Nurse.

I don't know what to ask even. I mean, I have only read your threads in archives.

How is she? How is your status, etc?
It's just so fucking basic questions to ask from a /b/ star. Sorry 8(

>>25682172
Well, hopes you get better soon and don't infect your girl, best probably to wait things out rather than risk getting her sick.

Normally I'd be in bed now too as i've another shift tonight, but ours is only a small home with just two kids and two nightstaff. So it's not unusual to get a few hours nap in which makes the next day not so horribly shitty.

Oh, also keep away from full-on dietary supplements: i.e. Slimfast and the like.

Something about them I've found in the past causes things to immediately get worse.

>>25682074
Well, her PTSD symptoms tend to get a bit worse, becomes more of a handful, and as shitty as it makes me, being here, a noticible rise in anxiety in general and nightmares in particular have happened the two other occasions I've had back-to-back or longer absences from work for one reason or another.

And it's going. Not much has changed since wednesday.

sup Nurse-kun. I'm usually up for both, cause I don't sleep.

For the record, the last time made at least one anon cry. God help you if I find out this isn't real.

>>25682110
Well, so long as it's not an hero...

There are anon's out there I'm sure who can attest to the truthfulness of Nurse-kun.

Other than that, how dare you? Anon fails.

>>25682380
pretty much goes without saying, but don't hurt yourself getting back into work if you're still feeling like shit. you'll just make it worse.

Now anon goes to sleep.

I have 33 brick barbeque's to construct in 4 hours.

shut up

>>25682362
Well, yes, coming into work when you've got a likely communicable illness, a common trend in the general workforce in America despite its contribution to greater inefficiency, is generally a no-no in a home filled with elderly patients with weak immune systems, as I'm sure you well understand.

Besides, I get few enough days off as it is, so I won't fight it too hard...though, as previously stated, I won't take more than I need, since she...seems to prefer me there. Ah, you specialize in a small group home for kids? Nice gig, all of those were filled up when I was looking, and I hadn't worked with kids before, so I didn't pursue it too hard at the time...anyway, grab what you can, man. Nice to hear from you.

>>25682469

ITT we give health advice to a health professional

>>25682339
She's about the same as she was last time, doing pretty well all things considered, I believe...I'm...well, I'm still movin' on forward, even if I might be getting worn down a bit. Guess I'll just have to take it, since I don't see other alternatives aside from letting down a lot of people I care about.

>>25682395
Well, as real as anything can be...am I a nurse that dreams I'm a...uh...cage-fighting president, or am I a cage-fighting president that dreams I am a nurse?

>>25682611

Wow, a Nurse-kun thread. Haven't participated in one since nearly the beginning. In during awesome, etc.

Anyway, reading your threads has had somewhat of a positive impact on an aspect of my life I had pretty much given up on. To prevent tl;dr, we'll just say it's related: young girl in bad position (family, hard life, abuse, etc), and someone with feelings that aren't sexual wanting to do something about it.

So I can sympathize with part of what you're going through; I wish you the best of luck in continuing down this rough path.

>>25682712
Oh Kyon

>>25682581
No problem, although my gig is more of a learning disabilities thing, we're a Private home not run by the NH.S. (Britfag here) We cater to more specialist needs, for example the two kids we have right now are a very low functioning autistic 13 year old (who's strong as hell) and a 15 year old with a severe behavioral disorder. Both are a huge handful and pretty much the reason we have them is because no one else can cope with them. Like i said we're a specialist home. Night shifts however are usually peaceful, thank god.

'Sup, Nurse-kun.

Read the story on wikichan, and I found myself designing leg prosthetics in my head the other day. Nothing that's going to make me rich, though.

>>25682687
Nurse-kun: his other major was in Chinese philosophy.

Come on, Nurse.
Now it's too late to succumb into fatigue.

You can totally come through!

Your fortune: Good news will come to you by mail

Hey Nurse, I hope this fortune will be good!

>>25682790
Yeah? Well, good for you, /b/rother. Good things tend to be hard, too, which is unfortunate, but then, I guess if they were easy, the world wouldn't be in the state it is. I'll try and not to let down my burdens if you try and bear yours, deal?

>>25682828

That's not Kyon, you fag.

>>25682611
I did say it almost went without saying. Being in a field doesn't mean you're the wisest sage of it. inb4 blasphemy etc.

>>25682712
that's an impressively apt picture, at speed. not too ill to have command of a massive /b/ folder, eh.

>>25682843
I can imagine...since, well, my girl isn't far off in terms of being driven to behavioural problems, though without the autism, thankfully, hoping that doesn't sound insensitive. She'd probably be in a similar home if it weren't for her physical disabilities as well, the combination of the two forming the poison pill, as it were...well, good on you, anyway. Thumbs up.

>>25682992
Deal.

Indeed, the hard parts are what make you realize it's really something you feel strongly about, and it makes your achievements that much more meaningful.

>>25683089
Well, I may not have her memory, but I have enough to remember the general 'layer' of my main picture folder some of my more amusing pictures are located in.

I'm not completely retarded, after all.

>>25682992
Sure thing, But I'll be honest. From my perspective, as hard as our kids over here are to deal with sometimes, what you're doing and what you've already done has probably been a hundred times harder than anything I've had to put up with so far.
So I'm wishing you the best of luck, and i hope everything works out good for you and her.

>>25682971
Th-thanks?

What the hell?

>>25683189
Blearg, that was supposed to be a reply to
>>25683093

To be honest, I thought I'd never get to see a Nurse-kun thread in the flesh. It seems it is worth being up around 11am GMT+1, after all!

>>25682850
Well, I'm sure the industry could always use another mind, y'know. Even one not at work on it full time. Who knows? It could at least make for amusing sci-fi-cybernetics designs or something, at least.

>>25683189
Try not to discount your own achievements. An older colleague of mine gave me that advice when I was just starting out, and said that those of us in the professional care provider industry that burn out often forget about it. You're welcome in any of my threads, any time.

so nurse, has she fully recovered from the ERCP?

has she been walking around more?

>>25683316
One never knows when a borderline idiotic manchild will be around to amuse you with his fumbled attempts at wit, no. Lucky you!

>>25683323
If I could draw. Always liked cyberpunk, just wish it had a better name.

On that note, anyone know if the guy looking at doing a live-action Battle Angel Alita movie is any good?

>>25683506
It's not a procedure with much of a recovery attached to it, assuming there aren't any complications, like bleeding or a bunch of other things I'm not going to try to remember right now. Thankfully, there weren't any, so she just needed to sleep off the sedative, and continue not to eat anything for a while longer afterward. She was fine when I saw her thursday night, before I had to go home.

And I don't really know, she hasn't had the occasion to do so, and her rehab nurses are still advising against it, so...maybe I'll offer her a stroll or two up and down the corridors when I get back...

>>25683703

Nurse-kun, are you wanting to stay in nursing for the rest of your life or are you wanting to move onto bigger things?

>>25683628
I don't really follow movie news much, but I heard Cameron wanted to do it, last time I heard anything about it...he directed The Abyss, Aliens, Terminator 2...I'd say he's got fairly good potential for win.

Sup Nurse-kun. Tonight I went for a picnic by myself to see the flooded river before it finally goes down. There's nothing quite like eating tasty tasty food like egg salad sandwiches and Jamaican lemonade, while sitting on the space where the sidewalk disappears into the river.

Then I got home to the dorm and there was a fire alarm so I'm still awake >_<

Nothing actually to add to this thread other than "You rock!" ^_^ I'm a cyberpunk writer, so stories about people with missing pieces fascinate me.

>>25683769
What would you define as 'bigger things', buddy?

>>25683805
Awesome. I was worried it was going to turn out to be the same kind of ground porpoise testicles the DoA movie did.

Pic possibly related.

>>25683805
Cameron wouldn't be my first choice to do it, but he'll probably do alright and not butcher it or anything.

He's scheduled to do the Battle Angel stuff once his other pet project, something called Avatar, is finished.

>>25683938
I don't know, like a doctor, paramedic, specialist or something. What's the pay like for nursing anyway? I've been thinking of getting into the health field, pharmacy specifically. After reading Damaged Goods though it kinda made me want to get into nursing. What do you think about pharmacy?

>>25683915
Maybe you should team up with
>>25683628
and write the next great cyberpunk novel together, he can design the shiny bits, you can provide the washed out dystopian urban blight of the setting. Might I suggest a hard-bitten but still human due to the influence of a stranger that extended a hand young blonde half-Japanese woman with a few cybernetic limbs and an eye-laser as the protagonist? The Japanese are still cool in cyberpunk, despite the fall of their economic zeitgeist, right?

>>25684125
Helping hand? I don't know, Starfish has really influenced my thinking. :3

>>25684125
That would be quite cool.

I was about to go to bed when I saw this thread. I guess I will stay up a bit longer and say get well soon!

>>25684125
Who knows, I just might take you up on that someday ^_~

And yeah, most of the good modern cyberpunk comes out of Japan these days. A little bit from France, a little bit from America, but it's not the huge genre it once was. Heh, and crumbling economies are fun to work with anyway. Cruel desperation breeds manic inovation. Heh

>>25684094
Well, nursing is certainly a calling, rather than something you get into to make a ton of money and retire to a big house somewhere warm. Since the changeover from apprenticeship to degrees, nursing isn't as robust a profession as it used to be, particularly since once you've been in school for four years or so, you tend to find yourself asking 'Do I REALLY want to do this?' when you start doing the real thing. And it isn't a glamorous job, even if they let you wear the white uniform and hat.

Pharmacy is much more stable and less traumatic, a good solid career choice, if the work you'd be doing is the sort of thing you don't mind, or enjoy, doing. I have an aunt by marriage that's a pharmacist, she seems to enjoy it.

I'd certainly do some research before I went into nursing in earnest, though, particularly if you're just inspired by my drivel...it's not much different than joining up to carry an M-16 because that movie was SO COOL, since the reality is a bit harsher. Still, we can certainly always use more brothers and sisters for the cause, so think it over some more.

And no, I haven't particularly thought about going into another career, though I don't think I'll be working in a home for the rest of it...this is, was, intended to be a sort of...purgatory, as I thought about some issues of my own.

>>25684391
Whoops, forgot a picture.

>>25684307
Well, no need to trouble yourself on my account. But thanks for the well-wishes.

>>25684286
Just for the record Starfish rocks! I haven't seen the third book yet, but it's a great series and downright creepy sometimes.

>>25684541
I'm not a good Anonymous, I couldn't handle ßehemoth. The sadism was just a little too much for me. ):

>this is, was, intended to be a sort of...purgatory, as I thought about some issues of my own.

And you may end up adopting a crippled little girl out of the whole thing. Funny how life works, isn't it?

>>25684715

>>25684987
Yeah, I guess it is...considering it was my stint in Neuro that drove me to it.

>>25684988

>>25685165

What are Nurse-kun's favorite games? I'm wondering this because of the recent upsurge in DS related posts due to the recent US release of Pokemon Diamond/Pearl.

>>25685416
I don't get to play as often as I'd like...but I enjoy EBA (duh), Ouendan's fun, despite my not understanding any of it or being a jpop fan, I played Castlevania: DOS a fair bit, having been a Metroid fan myself, though the 3d versions never caught on with me, haven't been able to find a copy of Phoenix Wright, so playing part 2 seemed wrong somehow, God Hand is impetuous, I've spent way too much time on the Disgaeas, I enjoy both the Silent Hill and Resident Evil series, and am kind of bummed that Capcom shut down the Outbreak servers, since I didn't really get to play online much, my ISP hookups having been not very workable until just recently, when I got busy...um...can't think of much else off the top of my head, though I'm sure there are others...like...

>>25685670
It's about to detach from her body and fall into her lover's lap. Japanese horror, what can I say?

Nurse-kun, I just wanna say your someone I really respect. Reading your threads makes me smile, and makes me look at my life, which I'm currently failing with... But that's okay, as long as someone is happy with what your doing, then your doing your job right? lol

>>25686192
Silly white people.

>>25686252
Well, it's never too late to change. And life is one of those things where so long as you win in the end, you win, and it makes just about all the fails moot. Not mootxican moot, but, ah, you know what I mean. Cheer up, anonymous kid.

>>25687153
PLAY MORE SERIOUS.

>>25687196

>>25687178

Hey Nursekun, I was wondering. How did you get into your line of work?

>>25687190
Indeed it is. Not even the Divas can sing it back to life to bring a final gift of dolljoints to its children across the internets.

Oh wow... Nurse-kun, you are awesome and this thread is win.
Sorry to hear you're sick.

>>25687346
I gotta go fap now, the sun's coming up. Good luck, Nurse-kun.

>>25687355
Well, I come from a very healthy family. None of us have had any serious illnesses, until my dad just recently, that is, and we've all been pretty lucky...no major accidents, lives cut short by illness...so I was always kind of curious about something I didn't know much about, much like people raised in families that are poor and hard-laboring sometimes seek to escape to academia or science, and such, maybe? I mean, it wasn't the driving factor, but I guess it played a role in things. I'm no saint, as usual disclaimer applies, but I'm no sociopath either, so I've always, you know, cared somewhat about other people, so I'd considered a role in medicine for a while.

Now, the particular aspect, that wasn't something I was sure about. Medicine is a very teamwork based field, perhaps the most so of any I can think of, except maybe the army. You can't go off on your own and expect to do well...nurses need to work with doctors need to work with lab workers need to work with pharmacists need to work with radiologists need to work with clerical workers need to work with paramedics...or the patient dies due to a crossed wire or a miscommunication or ignorance of this or that.

>>25687547
I'd considered trying out as an EMT, but I'm not much of an adrenaline jockey, and sad to say, the vast majority of serious calls EMTs respond to wind up being lost, simply because it's too late by that point, even if ER doesn't make it seem that way. That seemed a bit too much of a downer for me (though I thought about it a bit more complexly than that), so I looked elsewhere; I wasn't sure I wanted to be a doctor, for a number of reasons, which I admit included not really wanting to add another four years of schooling before I got out and started doing things. Besides, I figured that if I ever changed my mind, I could always go back to school later, when I'd mellowed a bit more with age.

So, nursing. Male nurses are a punchline, and I knew it going in...it's one of the main reasons, I think, that so few guys go into the field, really, and something that needs to change, though good luck doing it with a 'The More You Know' or something. Still, when I looked at what being a nurse really meant, what they really did and were needed to do, and I don't mean fetch coffee for doctors, despite what some of them may think, it seemed like something I'd be good at. So I went for it. It's a good career for branching off into another one later, anyway; firemen, EMTs, doctors...and nurses are needed anywhere you go, much like cooks, even if we don't seem to get paid to reflect that need. So here I am. I am nurse, hear me shout 'CODE BLUE' and announce vitals.

>>25687547
Wow... My world feels more dangerous.


Nurse-kun, ever play any RPGs, like D&D or any of the WhiteWolf games?

>>25687459
Seeya.

Nurse-kun what do you fap too?

>>25687775
Sorry, was a bit heavy-handed there, perhaps...I mean, they won't ALWAYS die, but things will go badly to varying degrees if that chain of trust and teamwork breaks down. Whether that means a rash, or, well, worse. It's not completely dire. Guess I was still a bit subconciously ticked at the 'bigger things' comment from earlier, though I guess I should be used to it now, since most nurses hear it so often...the 'Wow, so you settled for doing this, huh?' implication, if it isn't said outright. I like what I do, at least some of the time, though it is, as I've said before, often a thankless job, it is a necessary one, absolutely as much as doctors, despite their claims to the contrary.

And yeah, I've played a few, back in high school and college, and a couple times since with some friends, but not regularly, particularly of late. Busy these days, y'know?

Nurse-kun threads every night now? Maybe I should just wait for the novel or the movie...

Needs Tomo.

Good to hear, we wouldn't want the "sage in email field is cruise control for b-tardedness" crowd to tire themselves out.

I just happened to catch up today with the stuff in the wiki, and your posts are the best thing on the internet. Maybe that's just because I'm a dad.

Yeah, them diseases will get you in them hospitals.

Just don't wear surgical masks.

Lolis can smell Michael Jackson.

Buuuuuut...then again, they might be safe since he's the Shota type.

>>25687915
Y'know, stuff. I find Yomi erotic, as the picture above you may indicate, if it helps. I could make a comment about not fapping to my girl, but that'd just be tasteless, really (if true). Actually, I don't have that much actual porn on my computer, photographic or drawn...yay for imageboards?

>>25688191
Har har. But wearing surgical masks is part of my job...sometimes...

>>25688164
Well, I don't know if I think of myself as approaching 'dadhood' just yet...it's kind of daunting, actually, part of what left me hesitating, even if I'd be old to be starting as one even fifty, hell, thirty, years ago. But I'm starting to consider...

>>25688091
(Fuuka is also erotic)

>>25688014
Cocks indeed, my good sir! Pip pip and cheerio!

>>25688254
When Ebola is in town!

But seriously, I've been following this saga for awhile now. You go above and beyond the call of duty, good sir.

Salud!

And, y'know, don't get her sick. I mean, IV cocktails and immune systems are good, but these things find ways.

Oh yes.

Find.

>>25687980

>>25688386
Well, that is the crux of my worries and my rewards, yes! Sometimes, however, one must go above and beyond in order to truly fulfill ones duty...required duty aside.

And yes, that's the last thing I'd like, I won't be going back in until it's passed (literally and figuratively), hopefully by tomorrow's shift...

Oh yes.

Erotic.

>>25688139

You know, I'm starting to suspect the empty stomach and nausea are making me a bit hyper. What do you guys think?

>>25688525
I'd respond properly, but...no. Yomi's the best thing to end my night.

At 5:17 AM.

Fucking insomnia.

Oh yes.

Fucking.

>>25688619
Ha ha! Fucking.

SFDSFDFDFDFSF!

Continuing my random thoughts: I'm kind of sad that I missed that captain thread the other day. I saw it once when I was checking the post count in /b/'s main page, but was still typing out one of the two main installments, so I kind of went back to that without thinking, but missed it altogether. Saw a few pics reposted today in a thread in /i/, but, hm. I don't get as much time in /b/ as I used to, with all this stuff happening, and while /b/ isn't more important than 'reality'...ah, well.

I really like the captain's work, by the way. I'll say it here, though I've said it to him in /i/, too. Never fails to make me laugh, including his interpretations of me and my situation.

>>25688766
Ha ha! Horrible me.

>>25688766
you lost me

>>25688700
I dunno, man, she seems like the type to be way too wired and twitchy in bed...and I'd never be sure if she'd somehow be seized by the urge to donkey punch ME when I least expect it.

Posting in an arbitrary Nurse-kun thread FTW.

>>25688820
Don't mind me, that was just rambling. Lack of sleep, general crappy feelingness from multiple sustained puking, dehydration (despite putting in my own IV with a saline drip, I've got skills, oh yes, but only picked up the two bags on the way home), and hunger combine to make nurse-kun something something...

>>25688937

LOL whut? Did something happen to you?

>>25689125
Caught a stomach bug, presumably in the hospital while I was with her for her ERCP (one of the patients in the waiting room at the GI unit looked rather green around the gills, though I wheeled her and myself as far away from him as I could when he came in and dropped into a chair near us). Manifested itself roughly 44 hours later, halfway through my shift the next night. Thankfully, she didn't catch it either from him or, later, from me, likely due to the extra antibiotics and infection fighters she was given as a safety measure for the procedure. Luck I'm still grateful for.

Shitsux, man.

>>25689450
Hey, can anyone tell me how to save a thread like they do in the rapidshares on the wiki? I don't think anyone from it is archiving this, and since they even seem to care about stupid little threads like the one on christmas, I guess some people might want to see this one too, rampant stupidity and waste of bandwidth that it is...

Oh, um. More EBA ecchi/pronz, please, Nurse-kun.

(and anyone else who has them)

>>25689618
Not much out there that I'm aware of, unless you're interested in the agents and male cheerleaders from Ouendan having sex with each other...seems to be a fair amount of that. Oh, Japan.

>>25689723

>>25689723

First time I've caught a nurse-kun thread. Awesome. You rock man.

>>25689830

>>25689832
Well, y'know, I try. Though only on the DS, I'm afraid. Though who knows, maybe I can get her to teach me to play the guitar one day...

>>25689526
Anyone? At all? Searching firefox extensions, my addled brain isn't finding much of use...and my buddy that rapidshared the last one (and wrote those action-packed imposter posts, being the far more talented than I writer that he is) is currently asleep...

>>25690005

Maybe I need to lurk more, but save page as perhaps?

>>25690227
mm, trying dthemall, I'm really not a terribly sophisticated web user, all things considered...nurse, not a computer scientist, etc, etc. That, and the low IQ, y'know.

Must have missed the last thread, so if you don't mind me asking, what procedure is she going through and for what.

Heh, might as well break with anon's usual blackness and laude you for the big man you are. Makes me proud sometimes while surfing the shithole of the internet.

>>25682992
Aww, isn't that Harry and Cheryl?
Are you a Silent Hill fan, Nurse-kun?

>>25690291
http://digestive.niddk.nih.gov/ddiseases/pubs/ercp/index.htm

She got tentacle throat-raeped tenderly, but I held her hand through it, and she was a brave little loli for it. Thankfully, the sedation for this 'scopy is the most intense of them, so she was asleep for the whole thing, though it was kind of weird and disconcerting seeing that multiple-foot-long black tube disappearing past her lips (and the teeth-guard behind them...)...

And, well, thanks. Like I generally say, I'm not that special...just doing what seems like the right thing, which I still believe most of /b/ is capable of as well, should push come to shove, even if we might not want to admit it to ourselves. She's a strong, beautiful, courageous girl...if I couldn't match even a tenth of those qualities in her myself, what sort of a man could I consider myself?

>>25690533
"Oh please, it was nothing really!"

>>25690288
Woo, it worked! I learn something new! Level up! Now I am HEAD NURSE! *spins slowly and gracefully as scrubs fade into sparkles and nude-transformations into classical Cap White Old-School style white nurse's uniform in dress form, with white cap, thigh-high white stockings, and heels, included*

>>25690331
Yes indeedy. 1 is my favorite, with 3, then 2, then 4 in the distant distant last place, didn't even get past the second time out of the apartment, I thought it sucked the shit so...but yeah, I love the other three, wish I could find a copy of 1, haven't been able to in forever, and I haven't done much online shopping, but I suppose I could, but...mm. Hearing that sobbing in the washroom at the elementary school in the first one almost made me tear up when I first heard it, fag to say. Great series, hope 5 returns to that greatness, as it may seem to be, even if it's modelling more on 2's style...

>>25691040
1 is my favorite too.

And yeah, 4 sucks, but I did like the last area a lot.

>>25691040
To complete a thought I had just as I was hitting submit: My girl really reminds me of Heather...or the other way around, now. She's been thrust into this nightmare of a world, even if it may seem normal to the rest of us, everything she knew taken from her, if not by evil cultists then by nhilistic chance, leaving her angry, ready to lash out, and unwilling to trust anyone anymore. They're even both 'dirty' blondes (hair color, not talking about the general level of 'grime' look they gave Heather, though I'm sure she's quite clean in the game), though it's natural on my girl, and from a bottle on Heather...

...I like to think she'll learn a Sexy Beam one day, though I don't like to think about being the target...and learn to use an iron pipe, too.

>>25691213

>>25691040
As for finding SH1 for a decent price, good luck. It's been going for a lot lately.

A friend of mine got it for my birthday last year, so I guess I'm really lucky.

>>25691165
I suppose I should go back and give it a chance, as I've played through worse, but it just pissed me off so much at the time that I returned it to the rental place within hours of renting it, despite having it for days...fucking ghosts? Silent Hill isn't about ghosts, it's about tangible nightmares, things that you can beat to death, even if they weren't actually ever born from a mother's womb...eh, bleh. We'll see. The main character's absolute lack of a personality didn't help much, either.

>>25691213
Haha, that's it, I'm definitely drawing amputee-tan using sexy beam.
It has to be done.

>>25691257
If any game needs a RE 1 on GC remake, it's SH. I can't be the only one to think so.

And I just hope I could be half the 'dad' Harry was, though I hope she doesn't turn out to be a conduit for the birth of a new god, too, considering she's suffered at least as badly as Alyssa did...and young girls are the most common source of poltergeist activity, you know...

>>25691257
(In b4 not being as sexy as Lisa)

>>25691484
(Also in b4 being sexier than Lisa, you sick freaks)

>>25691379
...well. I'm not quite sure what to think, but...I have to admit that it's got a corner of my brain, and it's tugging at it.

>>25691320
The last area makes it worth it.
It's the only part of that game that I liked, actually.
Christ, having to go through each area twice was awful.

>>25691437
I dunno, I'm kind of torn on that.
I'd love to see a remake, but at the same time, I love it the way it is.

And really, don't worry. You're a great guy, from what I can tell.

And I can't imagine she'll have even more suffering thrown at her after all of this...
Even if that happens, if anything, she'll be a wise girl.
We learn from pain, after all.

>>25691765
I wouldn't want them to change any of the plot or particular scare situations, as I think they were perfectly done... (the cat in the locker? Christ). Just a graphical overhaul, hire back the original voice actors, even, as I think they did a pretty darn good job considering the general state of voice acting at that time, (Dahlia's did an amazing job of putting the crazy in crazypants), maybe a slight control polish or two from 3...but then, Harry was unique, for his time, in that he didn't really know how to fight, so they shouldn't make him too easy to kill things with, or no easier than the first one, anyway. But smoother graphics, better shadow/lighting effects for the flashlight, better fog effects...oh, yes, please.

Ah, to dream, as it's pretty unlikely to ever happen, as I've been dreaming about it for years now already...oh well...

Geez, this picture looks like my girl, or an older version of her...hadn't seen this since before december, it being in my old pictures file from my previous computer...

>>25691960
Yeah, but sometimes we learn too much, like a Lovecraft 'protagonist'...

...and man, did SH2 ever have a messed up female cast, but in a good way...(she's a lot cuter than Laura, even in her generally withdrawn moods).

>>25692059
Yeah, that would be awesome..

Hey, what's your opinion on the movie?
I thought it was alright. There were a couple of things that bothered me, but overall, it was alright.

Uh, are we getting auto-saged or something? Last post didn't go through, but I suppose it could just be me or MySQL...it was just saying the movie seemed dumb and I hadn't seen it yet, so no great loss. Ah, well.

By the way, I go on /i/ as C221.
I'll definitely be doing that picture.
Maybe tomorrow, if I have the time...

I liked the movie, I think the only thing that bugged the shit out of me was the whole cult >.>

>>25692739
Yeah? Well, that would be awesome, I really do value the fanart people make, not just for the pictures, which are great, but for the sentiment behind them, the investing of time, effort, and the feelings that lead them to conceptualize the art in the first place...and they're all on my HD, even that Twisted Metal Ampu-tan one from /i/ yesterday...

I admire you guys, since I don't have any creative talents of my own, particularly when it comes to drawing, something I haven't done since I was eight or so (and sucked even then).

>>25692821
That's what bothered me too-- I think they focused too much on that.
It's also a lot different from the cult that we know, but I guess it could be a different sect of The Order?

>>25692821
>>25692903
That was what a fair amount of my missing post was centered on as sounding particularly dumb...I mean, a big point in the atmosphere and plot of the game was that everybody in town had disappeared, tourist and citizen alike, except for a strange, almost suspicious few, and a trio of out of towners...why had people gone, and where to? Were they these monsters, transformed from their human shapes by a girl driven to rage by pain and misery, the nurses and doctors with the parasites being the most obvious examples, but the pterodactyls and ape-things as well, perhaps...and the children...things? Were they ALL in the otherworld, the corpses decorating that place? Had they merely been swallowed up by the fog?

Instead, we got some sort of x-treme wiccans and witch burnings and...man what? Feh. Not much of a selling point to me, Dahlia and sort of Kaufmann were cult enough for me on their own...more than enough.

>>25692889
Heh, that's good.
Well, finding out that you're a Silent Hill fan pretty much made my day.

And personally, I find that I do my best when I draw for other people.

Just for the record, I obviously didn't do any of the fanart I've posted. I've only drawn 2 things for Silent Hill-- one that I never finished, and the other I never got to scan in because my teacher is holding onto it.
I need to get that watercolor of Heather back, goddamnit.

>>25693008
Thanks for contributing that, it really fits in with this SH discussion, all dark and shadowy as that initial frame is, could easily be a shambling monster, not merely the shambling ass you yourself are, figuratively, at least.

>>25693276
Ah, there's the picture I hadn't posted yet! Ah, well. It's a great one, was my wallpaper for a while...I <3 1 the most as a game, but Heather is my favorite character (just edging out poor devoted but continually befuddled Harry). Best female character I've seen in a game yet, in my opinion... (Samus doesn't count since she's sort of a jumping and shooting cipher for the vast majority of all the games I've played, awesome as she is).

>>25693540
Heather is awesome.
Definitely has a lot of character, especially in comparison to James and Henry.

Harry is still my favorite, though.
He's a cool cat.

>>25693276
We often do our best when doing it for someone else...perhaps it's human nature, something to encourage us to work together as a society, since no man is an island. I mean, I'm a terrible writer, but people seem to like these, as I'm writing them for all of you...and for her, in a way, in my conflicted back and forth between her privacy and dignity and wanting other people to know about her, to care about her, the way I do, which I feel she deserves, to have more than one lone buffoon know about this great little girl, aside from the ones that knew her before and have since abandoned her...way...

HOLY SHIT NURSE-KUN????????/

>>25693646
>>25691484
Yes, yes he is.

nurse kun how would you feel about someone taking the basic details of you story and using them as the basis for a novel. obviously you are hard to contact to talk to about this

holy fucking shit !!! posting in a Nurse-kun - thread !! wooohoooo

>>25693646
And to double-respond...Heather really does sort of resemble an older version of my girl, though she has more Japanese-y characteristics as well, of course...the hair color is nearly spot on, the green eyes, that look of determine in her eyes when she needs it...and the willingness to get up close and personal when someone/thing needs his/her/its butt kicked.

Of course, I'm hoping she doesn't graduate to pipes and knives any time soon...

>>25692821

Not enough Pyramid Head, in my opinion.

>>25693829

Sauce and name of artist, please?

>>25693798
WHAT? WHERE?!

>>25693885

>>25693929
Does she have freckles too? :3

>>25693936
Shouldn't have had Pyramid Head at all, in my opinion.

>>25693877
Well, that'd depend. I've kind of discussed this before, but it got a bit bogged down that time, though I'm not terribly clear-headed this time, either.

As a commercial novel, sold to a publisher for print and release for sale? I'd rather they didn't. Firstly, it'd be too wide and public a method of dissemination, which for both our lives, isn't something we need right now, but rather the opposite of what we need. Second, while I'm happy to be doing this for free for those of you that care about her, and that is why I'm doing it (my being bored and sick tonight and doing a dumb content-free thread to amuse myself notwithstanding), I know I'm not a professional writer...but...maybe I'd like to try it, some day, and to write about this myself, after it's done and things have been explained and accepted and settled where they need to be. Raising her, should I be so lucky, will be an expensive endeavor, and while the remainder of her life insurance policy, my savings, the stipend from the government for caring for a disabled adopted child, and the help of my family should do for a while, it won't last forever, and I'll need a source of income somewhere. My hopes aren't pinned on all of this, I can find work nursing again, once she's recovered enough to be able to attend school again (fingers crossed), but it's certainly an option I'd like to retain, you know? Thirdly, money aside, if it is destined to be read by people outside of here in printed form...I think I'd like to be the one to write it, somehow, since it is my, and her, story, you know? Maybe that sounds petty somehow, but...

>>25694100

Why must you hurt me so?

>>25694298
I'm sorry, Pyramid Head.
Please don't take any offense.

This should keep you busy.

>>25694379

Thanks.

But what was wrong with my acting in Silent Hill? I thought I did rather well... Would have preferred some raping, but meh...

>>25694100
The failings of the movie's plot aside, I think everyone who knew of Silent Hill without having played through the series expected Pyramid Head. Really, he was one of the highlights of an ultimately disappointing movie.

I loved the direct rip of the disorienting camera angles from the beginning of the first game.

>>25694439
Well, it's just that you didn't really belong there.

I'm sorry, buddy.

>>25694288
yeah, i appreciate that, it wouldnt really be about you and amputee chan as such, it would just be a novel where the main character is a male nurse, and the patient he cares for has the same story as amputee chan, and i'd use that plot framework to work on other themes, for example, the main character would muse on how hard it is to be a good person today, there'd be some ambiguity as to whether he really cared, and he'd question himself abbout it, theres all kinds of other themes i'd work into it, i'd just use the very basic aspects of the story as a basis for a plot. obviously if it did well (who knows, it might) you could contact me and i'd make sure you and amputee-chan got a fair cut.

>>25694288
...well, I'm not a paragon of detachment and zen.

Now...if you were talking about some sort of 'visual novel', or whatever those dating-sim-style books with pictures as games are called, I thought someone was already doing one sort of with this...which I'm still ambivilant about, but if they want to do it as a fan project for a small internet release, well, I'll take it in the spirit it's presumably intended, and give it my conditional blessing. But if one were talking about a serious project intended for sale, particularly one that has me loving her tenderly as either a good or bad end (or beginning or middle for that matter), that'd be another story again...

Basically, I guess I'm saying: If you want to write a fanfic about this and post it somewhere on the net? Okay...I can handle that, so long as you're somewhat subtle in the details, but fuck, go wild if you feel like it, just make sure you make it clear it's just that, a fanfic of this 'story'. If you want to make a little 'visual novel game' out of it, hey, that's cool, I'd like to play it myself, as I've 'played through' the one already in beta (spelling errors abound, guys, you should really get an editor, and some of the prose sounds weird in that format, particularly some bits that were responses to others, which were ommitted...but then, it is a beta.) Go for it. Again, make clear it's a 'fanfic' of this, and you can do whatever you want with it, hell, make it XXX-rated and give 'admirers' a stroke with all that hot stumpz action, for all I care.

>>25694541
I saw it coming, but I can't see it as anything but pointless fanservice.
Ah well.

plus, if people enjoyed the novel, it would help to publicise, and garner interest for the "real" version

>>25694573
basically what im trying to say is that it wouldnt just be c/p the wikichan entries into notepad and publish, i'd use the very basic premise of male nurse + amputee chan, and really no other details would be the same, aside from maybe one or two events, such as her lashing out at the war vet. it wouldnt just be like a re-telling of what you've already written is what i mean

>>25694602
...but if you intend it for commercial release, either novel or game, I would not be happy about that, and do not give you permission to do so. I suppose you could ignore that and try to do so anyway, and I wouldn't have a lot of ability to stop you very easily, particularly as you'd be preying upon my intention of keeping her safe from scrutiny, and despite the beliefs of some, from ruining my best intentions of trying to take care of her, but I might try to do so. And from what you're saying here, you'd basically be 'stealing' it, just as unscrupulous hacks 'steal' the tragedies or tear-stained triumphs of other people in real life for their hack 'based on a true story' shite, which I've always thought was exploitative and base.

So my answer would be no. Fanfic for no profit or paper short of people printing it out themselves? Okay, I can accept that. Trying to sell this for yourself, our 'cut' aside, the feasibility of that a joke in and of itself, due to our need for privacy, no. I would not be happy, and I would not give you permission. I'm sure more knowledgable people could go on about writing under an alias and whether that invalidates intellectual ownership, but I'm not going to do so, because I now have a raging headache. Thanks a lot. I'm done with this for now.

>>25694810
If you want to be 'inspired' by it, then just leave me out of it entirely, and go ahead and Eragon my Star Wars. Make her nothing like my girl but perhaps a basic set of symptoms, take none of my personal acts and experiences between us, leave out the details of her 'incidents' and make up your own, and whatever. Part of being a writer, so I'm told, is the ability to write original content, rather than thinly veiled copies of other peoples ideas. I suggest you do so. Sorry to sound harsh, but...yeah, there it is.

>>25694840
sure, thats okay, i might write it up anyway, and maybe show it to you at some point just so you can see what you think, but if you dont want it published, even though it would be so loosely based on your story that i probably could publish it, i wont do it.

>>25695048
yeah thats basically what im talking about, male nurse+orphaned amputee patient is the ONLY thing i would take from your story, i wouldnt be writing any of the events that you describe, myself, because honestly, i'd never be able to respect myself if i was successful through basically paraphrasing what you've already written. i kind of feel unoriginal enough for taking the concept of male nurse+ amputee chan anyway, which is why i want it to deviate from your story massively, it really would be completely different (amputee chan would probably be moved to a different hospital and nurse-kun wouldnt be able to see her, for example, to demonstrate the evils of bureacracy). it's not like i'd be using the names "nurse-kun" and "amputee-chan" either, but thanks for taking the time to talk to me about this.

>>25694037
And to get back to things that might actually be fun after that brief rant which I'm sure will have no effect...no, not that I've noticed so far. But then, it is still early spring, and I've only known her since late fall and early winter, and with freckles often 'manifesting' with exposure to sunlight...well, I don't really know! Maybe she will! She is rather fair-skinned, not creamy white or anything, but somewhere between a fair-skinned scandenavian (ok, ok, I'll pin it down...her father's family was from Norway. So...Norwegian, look up pictures of them yourselves, though they're often pretty tanned), and a fair-skinned Japanese person...so yeah, pale, but nowhere near albino, with more 'pink' than Japanese tend to have.

Actually...and here's something people interested in her might be interested in...and you genetics freaks, too...

>>25695069
Like I said, if you change all the details but male nurse + little girl with amputations + lost parents + bonding, and made up the rest on your own...well, I can hardly claim rights to that, because I'm not crazy like some 'authors' are. If you want to write about us in particular, with our details, limit yourself to fanfic. That's all I'm saying. But if you do go with a publish-bound story, don't say it's 'based on a true story' or hint at us at all, sil vous plais...

>>25695260
Well, there you go then...as said, don't claim a 'based on the true story' or hint at it, and it'd be fine by me, you'd have my blessing that it'd turn out well, even.

>>25695428
sorry to continue this discussion that you dont seem too eager to pursue, but basically thats what i was planning to do anyway, so you should have no worries. in any case, i'll try as hard as i can to get a finished draft to you when it's done and you will have full control of content. if you want something taken out, it goes, i couldnt go for 10 minutes without thinking about your story, the week after i read it, so i respect you and amputee-chan far too much to exploit you by ripping off everything you've written. i hate to repeat myself but it really would just be "inspired" by your story, the way that all fantasy these days uses orks, when tolkein did it first. the plot would be so different as to be unrecognisable, almost.

>>25694543

Nah, that's ok... I guess...

*Sniff*

>>25695313
I'm Scandinavian myself (Icelandic, specifically) and I get freckles during the summer, so it's certainly possible.
Ehe, it'd be adorable if she does get freckles though.

>>25695820

I love Icelandic accents.

>>25695903
I pick one up pretty easily from being around family.

>>25695313
...it seems she wasn't the first half-breed in her family. Going way back when (well, not WAY WAY back, but a fair ways), back to her great-grandmother on her mother's side of the family...said great grandmother, back in the early to mid 30s...fell in love with an American. She and her family had already been living in America for a while, so it wasn't as though she'd been picked up in a bar in Tokyo, but it was still quite unexpected for them, this blonde-haired, blue-eyed gaijin coming to ask their permission to see their daughter. Which they refused, apparently, but they still saw each other in secret...pretty wild for a Japanese girl at that time and age, really. One thing led to another, as they continued seeing each other being her parents backs (and his, too, they wouldn't be too happy about it either), and...she got pregnant. With my girl's grandmother. This was in the mid-30s, back when anti-miscegeneration laws were still in place...blocking blacks and whites from marrying in particular, but ALSO just about any other sort of race-mixing...it was actually illegal for them to get married in the state they lived in. And their child was actually evidence that could be used against them to bring felony charges of adultery or fornication!

>>25696021
Where was I...right. Now, her mother told her all of this when she'd had a bad day at school, which was rare for her being a very happy child from all accounts pre-accident...where she got taunted by one older jerk about her parentage. She didn't attack him like she did the boy in the wheelchair, just argued back that her parents were the best in the world, and etc etc, then finally started crying when he wouldn't relent. Guess even gifted kids can be total dicks. Anyway, she got home, and her mother told her the 'family secret'...to try and help her understand that it was normal, in a way, for her to be the way she was, and that it was a good thing, that it made her special, and the most beautiful girl in the world, and that it just made both herself and her father love her even more than they already did, which she then made a joke was impossible, since they already loved her a hundred percent, and she, of course, got it and started laughing, because she knew there was nothing more than 100 percent of one 'thing'...and...well, she started tearing up as she was telling it, relating many of these exact words as they were said, and how her mother laughed and hugged her tight, and when her father got home, he did the same, and added that she was his 'little kitten', a nickname he had for her because her eyes were green, like a Norwegian Forest Cat...and, well, the story ended there, and I tried to comfort her again.

He asked to be posted along with the other Japanese men from their camp that enlisted, and was, in fact, serving alongside them when they were sent to Italy, then to Southern France. The rest of the unit/military group name I can't recall went on to Germany, amongst the first to liberate one of the concentration camps...but not him. He was shot and killed in France, recieving a bronze star posthumously, but his wife never told her children what he'd done to earn it...in fact, she told them very little about him at all...the only picture of him she kept was in a locket around her neck, which she was buried with. Even with his sacrifice, she and her two children stayed in the camp until it was shut down and the 'internees' were released. She went home to her family, who'd been at another camp, as she and her husband had moved to another city together after their disapproval and his parents' as well; luckily, her children could pass for Japanese...mostly. They had black hair, and just a slightly lighter than 'normal' skin tone for Japanese people...their features could pass well too, except for little quirks, here and there...well enough that white people would rarely notice...but not enough that most Japanese would.

As a result, they were often treated...poorly...by the Japanese community that they lived within. They spoke perfect Japanese, just as their mother did, they knew the customs, the traditions, all the things the other children knew, as their father had been quite understanding in their learning about that part of their heritage, but it was often not quite enough...taunts came, bullying, a few beatings for her grandfather, who died when he was 10 due to 'accidental drowning' when the ice gave out beneath him on a frozen lake during the late winter, while skating with some other boys, and the vicious sort of less physical attacks girls can level at each other for her grandmother. Her own parents, our girl's great-great-grandparents, weren't outright hostile to her children, but they weren't terribly warm and friendly, either...a distinction that became very apparent when she remarried, an older Japanese man, a grocer, making an offer to her parents...who accepted on her behalf. Hardly a match made in the heart...and when she had a third child, another boy, the way her parents doted on and spoiled him, while still behaving coldly to her other children, just solidifed it all for her. And this is how her grandmother grew up. When she was eighteen, she left home for college, having studied long and hard enough to have earned a scholarship to a good school; she avoided the white students, who made up the vast majority, for the smaller Japanese population, only a dozen or so in a school of a thousand, but none of them knew her past, or her parentage...and she managed to work on her little quirks over the years to the point where she could pass with all of them.

She met a young Japanese man in her third year, and they began dating, she brought him home to meet her mother and step-father formally after had graduated, keeping her mother from seeing them together when she attended the ceremony, her step-father mysteriously too busy to come, where he asked for her hand in marriage, and they happily accepted, as he was an intelligent, now well-educated young man, an engineer, destined for great things, no doubt, even in this land of white privilege. And he did, in fact, do quite well for himself, finding a decent position with a small, but growing, company, and growing with it, his merit enough for his boss, who was a good man even back then, apparently, finding it enough to promote him, rather than leaving him shut out of the old boy's club's doors. He had to work twice as hard as any of the white engineers, of course, but he did so, despite the sacrifices that meant for their home life. Even so, they had a child soon after they married, a daughter, our girl's mother's mother.......wait, I fucked this up. Shit. MATH IS HARD. Ok, the woman in the camps who married the white guy was our girl's great-great-grandmother, who had her daughter, our girl's great-grandmother, who had HER daughter, which I just mentioned, who was our girl's grandmother! Geez. Sorry, all.

Dear lawd, a Nurse-kun thread! My first live one ever.

I've been following along on Wikichan from the second thread or so... and, well... I guess I want to say what the legion already has, many times before.

Good on you. You obviously chose a harder path in life than a lot of people.

I hope it all works out, Nurse-kun. I really do.

Aaaaaaaaaaanyway, her half-Japanese great-grandmother maintained their home while her full-Japanese great-grandfather worked, and she took care of her three-quarters-Japanese daughter, who looked as Japanese as any of their friends and neighbours in the community...and was thus presented as such by her parents, the secret of her parentage kept by her mother, even her father not knowing at that point.

And that's how she was brought up. She wasn't even told herself until she was in her teens, when her father learned as well after a slip of the tongue from her own grandfather. Since she knew how half-blooded children were treated, hell, she'd even made a few jokes herself, she guarded her secret zealously, and presented herself as nothing but the most traditional, absolutely Japanese woman she could.

>>25698514
She met and married a Japanese man when she went to college as well, and they had a very Japanese life along with their American one, both of them being from multiple-generation Japanese-American families; they had friends from a number of races, socialized at barbecues and neighbourhood events with their neighbours, attended the company picnics, bought a cabin on a lake away from the city for summers and holidays, the picture of the American dream, with him working hard, and her maintaining the home, while also writing books on learning Japanese for english speakers in her spare time. And they had children, a son, first, then a pair of daughters, identical twins. Each of them, by this point...lessee...1/8th caucasian, 7/8ths Japanese? And they looked as Japanese as any of their Japanese friends, though they were all an appealing pale, but with lighter, brown, hair, compared to their mother. And they grew up not even knowing until they were in THEIR teens, whereupon their learned the family secret, and how it was important to keep it that way, how it'd brought nothing but pain and ostracism to their grandmother, how nobody needed to know, and that they were already 'American'...as American as anyone else, without it being built on blonde-haired-blood. So life went on...the older brother went to school, and became an engineer, like his father, while the older of the twins, (well, by a few minutes), our girl's aunt, opted to go to school in Japan, attending a prestigious university there, all three of them very intelligent and hard workers, and thus not having many problems with admissions. Finally, our girl's mother opted for a school closer to home than Nippon, but still further away than her brother...she studied at a college here, where I'm living today, which is a fair, but not great, distance from home for her.

>>25699001
And while there, about halfway through her bachelor's, she met a tall, blonde-haired, fair-skinned man with a bright smile one day, in the library, apparently, and things led from one to the other, and within six months they were living together...and within a year, our girl had arrived in the world...three months after the wedding. A wedding that was unseasonably freezing...figuratively speaking, as her parents, while in attendance, didn't say a single word the entire time, or even touch her or her husband, her father walking her down the aisle, but not holding her arm, merely walking alongside her. They left the reception as soon as the vows were completed and they were pronounced husband and wife, and while her brother, who'd attended with his own wife and their infant child, stayed a bit longer, and was apologetic for their behaviour, he 'suffered' for it afterward. Her twin sister, the person she'd been closest to their entire lives, the 'perfect sisters', having been at least one person's nickname for them, hadn't even opened the invitation, sending it back with 'Return to sender' on it.

Our girl's mother, knowing she was curious about why the rest of the family 'didn't like them', and asking her if it was because of her, knew she needed to be as honest as she could be with her, her age notwithstanding. She was smart enough to understand most of it, and with her memory, she could muse over it over time, and figure it out as she grew older...her mother was probably hoping they could reconcile before that happened, that they could see their beautiful, brilliant, talented granddaughter and neice for who she was, and accept her, and her husband, for the people they were...but...well, things, happened. One big thing, anyway.

Okay, posting this late because I was reading through this all- but I think it's intresting enough to warrent a bump.

The detainment of Japanese Americans was kinda half-justified given this. Not really relevant to Ampu-tan, but interesting.

And that was that...she told me all of this one night last week when I stupidly made some off-handed comment about her family being jerks, just talking what I was thinking out loud, hearing about how another attempt to reach them by her social worker hadn't made much success earlier that evening via the grapevine from our resident shrinkette; I said it, and regretted it the moment I did, as she stared down at her lap...I began to apologize, and she said it was..."Okay", and that "They just don't want me...". I tried to assure her nobody could not want her when they knew her, and we went back and forth for a bit before she just started talking, starting at the beginning, as if reciting verbatim something from a documentary or a story heard while sitting on someone's lap...which, I guess, she had. She just kept talking, with me managing to keep my mouth shut now, until she was finished, and I didn't know what to say...so I just gave her a hug, as she tried to wipe her eyes with the back of her hand, recounting how the accident had made reconcilliation impossible having stirred up pain within herself, and tried to help her get through the crying, while thinking they were even bigger jerks than ever, the quarter-japanese grandmother in particular...

And, well, there you go. I'm not a genetics expert, but I heard someone mention that blonde hair and blue or green eyes in half-japanese kids was almost impossible, so I guess this might help explain things somewhat...not that I have anything to prove there...the gaps it fills in with her family's behaviour was a lot more revealing to me, and it doesn't make me like them any less. I'm not sure that'd be possible.
