Hmmm.... it's a lot more real than I thought....

- [STK] Kinda pointless, but I was thinking about some of the expanded powers that I rejected, for Gekkou. It's kinda weird that some of the personality combinations can end up with something completely different.
- [STK] More summer special quotes:
"Do you ALWAYS have to do that?"
"Muu-mu MOO mu-mu-mu-muu?"
"One day, it's going to happen. Oh, yes indeed."
- [SPIN] New design/mechanics for the Gyo core.
- [FLR] "Numm-num num, num, num."
- [FLR] A re-do of clothes-line. The cameras were everywhere.
- [STK] "It doesn't come down to just the user or the equipment. What's important is how well they work together, man and machine..."
"Power Extr- Mmph!"
"Stop trying to get us into trouble."
- [FLR] "That's... NOT how flashbacks are supposed to work!"
- [FLR] What to do if it suddenly rains. Ironically, this happened to me two days later.... (See below.)
- [Misc] Hair-swap. I kinda realised I gave the wrong hair styles to the wrong people.... Ooops.
- [STK] Some slight, last minute design revisions to the Henshin PAC and for consistency with the Henshin PEN(Name pending).

Hmmm.... just a little funny story that happened last week. I guess, the "Shi-Curse" that I've joked to myself about, might actually be real! I was walking back home on a cloudy day and in my mind, I was going over how many times a certain mushroom and tea loving character became plot-convenient. Well, I jokingly dubbed the name "Shimi the plot-device", and at that exact moment, it rained. Really heavily. I don't know if it's correct to call it torrential rain or not, but it was heavy enough to instantly soak through my trainers, bag and all the way up my trousers. Luckily, I was only a few minutes away from going indoors, but even so, it did seem like I had just taken a dip in the river.

Is.... two at a time, too many????

Well, things have been kinda slow in the past two weeks. I also kinda had a slight problem over the recent weekend, a folder of notes and rough sketches got water-logged. I guess, I was sorta lucky. Nothing irreplaceable was damaged and everything was still legible/viewable.

But, there was one exception. Remember that image of a medieval Edge, that I posted about a month ago? That picture ended up getting badly soaked around the edges and corners, but the actual picture area was completely dry and fine! I guess, Ritsuki had luck on his side, but in his words, he would probably say luck was actually begging on all fours to to be allowed on the winning team.

"Alright, isn't that that enough waffle for one day? There's still a progress report to do."

- [FLR] "Yay, barrels!!"
- [SPIN] There's a part-time Rider in every series.
- [FLR/STK] Another Gekkou scene. When Agile/Guard aren't enough, while showing better control and some slight restraint.
- [SHF] A couple of re-takes on the visual images for the "Plotto" attacks.
- [FLR] The sweet smell of fresh bread.
"Hmmm.... I wouldn't mind some bread myself.... Maybe with a mushroom, or two, or...."

".... toasting the whole thing together and then, a squeeze of orange juice.... or lemon????"
- [SHF] This technically happened in a cross-over, but I just wanted show off a Yamaguchi quote:
Believe it or not, I'm so business-savy, I don't even need to get out of bed to make a huge profit!
Right... what kind of "business" did you say you were running?
- [SPIN] Time-stream? What time-stream? Things are always sooo much better with Ryo around.

Once again, I think I might have forgotten to mention one or two things. Well, if I remember, I'll add them to the next update. If it even does come back to me....
