a new low? no, a new HIGH

I have wonderful friends who have wonderfully strange and fascinating and sometimes perverse ideas. Thank you lluvia and perrito for tangentially enabling me in unexpectedly far-reaching ways. Thank you fantaisie for being my evil, evil, ingenious brain twin.


Welcome to prefecture-tans.

GOD THIS CHAIR HURTS MY ASS

It becomes especially prominent around this time in the day, when I've been on it about 6 hours, and no matter how I shift on my seat the discomfort doesn't diminish.

Am very glad co-worker's hellpooch isn't here today (boss is a v. nice guy who allows his employees to bring their pets) cuz god each time I hear it snarl I get bad, super neurotic mental scenarios with Cujo/Hound of the Baskervilles. Even though hellpooch is some kind of chihuahua mix and is pretty small. Sounds and behaves like it's part mastiff or pit bull though.

THIS IS REALLY LONG FOR A TWATTER POST

From the looks of things so far DEVELOPER MEETINGS PROMISE TO BE NOTHING SHORT OF AMAZING.

Some notes!

On Tokyo's English Name

He picked out "Wayne" for himself. According to the conversation he has with Osaka it's very likely that he named himself that with Batman/Bruce Wayne in mind. But he wouldn't have settled on that right away. He first went through all the most prominent American superheroes' names. Being the savvy metropolitan he is (half the time), he needed a good, fashionable English name that would appeal to the English-speaking world in general, especially the United States.

Peter Parker >> too nerdy. Thinks "Peter" is too plain, and Parker makes him think of "park ranger".

Clark Kent >> sounds too midwest. And "Kent" read in a Japanese accent might as well be a Japanese name.

Steve Rogers >> again, too plain. Steve McSteve. So boring.

Bruce Wayne >> Bruce sounds old. But Wayne is cool, and John Wayne is way cool.

He also thinks the name would retain most of its coolness in Engrish without ending up sounding silly. He's quite mistaken.

Character References i.e. people (2D/real) I will be modelling these kids after:

Tokyo >> Mikami, Death Note
Chiba >> Aiba Masaki, Arashi
Hokkaido >> Ikuta Toma
Hawaii >> Ito Yuna

I WELCOME SUGGESTIONS IF YOU GOT 'EM
