The Invasion

Post by **haas mark** » 2002-11-24 07:11pm

Quite the opposite of useless, ESB, besides I have a few Indian friends, and I amsure they won't mind me using their names.

Payal Doshi
Deesha Shah
Raja Shah.

I can always mix them up, too.

Their last names aren't always *that* long.

Dying, would suck, getting knocked out left for dead, and being scrwed in the middle of nowhere I wouldn't mind.

Lai Hanwei (notice a pattern here?)

Ye Xiao Ling (woman name)
Chen Hui Qin (also woman name)

Feel free to append any English name you want to the end... most CHinese from Westernized countries have a Christian name as well.

I just realized....I need culture-specific names and I didn't say so, so muchas gracias, mi amigo.

Kultur specifik? Define.

Country specific, more like. Menaing, not westernized if in Japan or China, for example.

Chinese names tend to be the same everywhere, but the Westernized Chinese use Christian names so they can relate better to foreigners. I mean, Darth Wong's Chinese, so am I, we have the same surname and probably the same name structure.

Unlike the English language, CHinese does not interface well with other languages so it doesn't get corrupted so easily.

It isn't now, but it is then.....and no, I can't "delete" Sydney....Melbourne's already gone. And what's so bad about Sydney? Besides, I plan on having something happening at the Opera House. Which reminds me....I need to know what it looks like inside.

Why does Zaia-hime wish to protect Melbourne so much?

Because Zaia-hime spent many days & evenings in Melbourne with some very dear friends whom she hasn't seen in a very long time. Detroying Melbourne is sad to me because it's where so many of my precious memories took place. But it is Ver's story, so he can demolish it if he chooses. *sobsobcrysob*

J/K

I still love you, Ver. I guess.

Pshah. It's still there IRL. Besides, this is nine years into the future, and you are still alive at the end of the book, to go onto the second one.

I know, I know, I know it's still there IRL. It still makes me a bit sad, though. Everyone always loves Sydney so much more...the bastahds! Travel to both one day and let me know which you prefer.

Yay, I get to be in the sequel?! Sweeeeeeeeeeeet.... Hmm, I wonder if anyone will be able to guess which character is me?

You couldn't ask him via PM....?

Considering that all you've posted in this thread are a concept and a teaser, I don't think it's out of line.

True, but still. THis is my thread. I don't go into your fanfics asking somebody else questions, do I?

Post by **Kuja** » 2002-11-25 08:56am

There was that one time you and ESB went off the handle in Kelly's thread...and I'm talking about the one where Dalton deleted something like 3 pages. And wasn't it you and Durandal who eventually had an argument split off and deleted?

Post by **haas mark** » 2002-11-25 08:57am

Also, Iggy, it's not all just concept. I'm asking for help. SO I don't think you're quite on-track.

Well, that wasn't seomthing intentional. And if the arguement ws split off, I don't remember it being deleted.
