---

A modern tengu reporter who makes a newspaper called "Kakashi Spirit News". Unlike Aya, she never goes outside for her newspaper research. Instead, she uses her ability called "spirit photography". After reading Aya's Bunbunmaru Newspaper, she decided to observe Aya's way of gathering for her articles.

[size=15]Bunbunmaru Trivia[/h]

# The kanji for "Himekaidou" mean "princess", "sea/beach" and "crabapple tree" respectively. "Himekaidou" itself is a kind of toringo crabapple. (Malus sieboldii).

# "Hime kaidou" also refers to a side-road, often taken by women or travelers who wanted to avoid thieves.

# Hatate's clothes have a lot of purple color. Purple color symbolizes "mystic" or "royalty". "Mystic" might be associated with her spiritual powers. "Royalty" might refer to "Himekaidou" - princess. Also purple represents the deadly sin pride.

# Her spirit camera looks like some sort of cell phone. Since she is "putting in" keywords it makes sense in a way.

# Her camera is made by one of the kappas, as you can see in Hatate's comments for scene 4-1 and Aya's comments for scene Spoiler-2.

# A silhouette of Hatate occupies the front of Double Spoiler's jewel case.

# Some fans joke around saying that Hatate uses Google to get all her pictures instead of going outside like Aya Shameimaru.

# Hatate's purple clothing and spirit photography ability seem to all point to Joseph Joestar of Jojo's Bizarre Adventure, specifically his part 3 incarnation where he has the stand "Hermit Purple", which can project images of any target in the world onto paper by smashing a camera with it. Aya used to be pictured alot with Joseph too...

I love you all so much, and I'm not even joking.

Neo is here!

Off from the boat, Gentlemen.

Ouch.

Well, you can always remake them to be better, right?

Also ask Rin to edit opening pages, as to not confuse people with content that no-longer exists.

Nyeow!~

Yeah, but I really cannot do it alone.



He will, later.
Hopefully.

Though I will need to reserve some posts to retrieve all my backup as well. If only I can double posting, lol.

Well, you can ask people whose posts were affected to help you when they can, can't you?

I can, but then again, it needs good collaboration.
If only we can edit our corrupted posts to make life easier, but then again, life is not always baked cookies.

I wonder if I can rewrite my OC's content once again, though.
Do you still remember its contents ?

If you mean if I have the lines memorized, then no.

I remember the format:

There was a picture, a biography, information bullet points and finally rumors.

See Jen, you're not alone^^ You can count on us^^

I only can remember into that extent as well, lol.

My grammar skill will be tested when I recreate it.
How about valentine Day event one ?

Neo :
Yeah, I kinda touched, lol.

Well, I'm off for a few, see you guys later. Jen, don't think about it too much, just take it slowly. And if remember, if you guys need help, I'm here =3.

I'll upload Nitori, Mojimi and my Gift batch again once I'm back~

EDIT: HELLO LIME!! YOU'LL STOP WHINING NOW RIGHT!! I LOVE YOU AND IT'S A JOKE!! LOL!! =3

I only skimmed through yours, so I'm afraid I don't know much.

To be honest, I kind of passed over the V-Day's contest once I made my submission.

* shoots beams at Neo
Bye, Neo, and thanks.



That's one thing which will be hard to be retrieved considering the participants aren't only two/three.
Should I just delete the section instead, Y/N ?

Well, the contest is done anyway?

And I seriously doubt any newcomers would read it that much seeing it waaaayyyy past Valentine's.

So delete it if you want.

You are right, though I think it's good enough as one of this club's good histories.

It happens in the worst timing possible, why at times like this ..
Oh well.

Well, I need to take my leave for now on.

Take care, and don't give up.

Thanks, and see you later, Roommate.

Take care for you too.

Jen I know you're schlicking alone in the corner =P

Ssshh, don't tell anybody.

Though I am working on my assignments atm. If only I have time for shlicking ...
