 * Whatever works best for you :)


 * That's rough. 3DS's can play DS games, so that's something to keep in mind if you ever get one. I hate it when that happens. I'll try to get to your Pokemon story tomorrow. Buckle up!   I'm going to be popular  06:32, March 24, 2016 (UTC)


 * I have no idea what the deal is. I've never cared for 1999, personally.


 * There still over $100, but they are cheaper, just be sure to check new when you click on links: http://www.amazon.com/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=nintendo+ds+3ds&tag=googhydr-20&index=aps&hvadid=50430414530&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=10542248938617562584&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&hvdev=c&ref=pd_sl_4yp9dwxiwh_b  Buckle up!

Second!
Cool. Recently I decided to break out my Gameboy and play Pokemon Gold until the batteries ran out. I was doing well leveling up all my Pokemon (I had captured seven or eight), but then the batteries ran out before I could visit the Violet City Gym. Oh, well. It was fun while it lasted! How do those emulators work? Do you need something to plug the cartridge into, or what?

Just work on the pastas when you can, and when inspiration hits. After all, you have a deadline for schoolwork, but not Creepypasta stuff.

I think it helps that you have the blue light filter. I hear that's what affects sleep. Of course, I think some people stress out with their electronic devices instead of doing relaxing activities to unwind like we do. It's sad how some people just let social media, smart phones, etc. take over their lives. :-(

Earlier today I was re-watching the Top 20 Unintentionally Disturbing Children's Characters from Around the World video. I forget the name of the French one with the bunny, ostrich, and cat spoofing news shows (I'll have to watch it again to get the name and its place on the countdown), but I've had that microphone with the random giant ear stuck in my head all day. I noted, "It was smiling when it wailed plaintively like a lost child, wasn't it?" My Mom noted, and I agreed, that the telephone with a face looked like a hair dryer. She also noted that Morso had sad eyes. I hadn't been able to put my finger on why I found it creepy, but now I think that's probably it- the human-like, emotional eyes on the sad, monkey-like face.

Gatorocolypse Now
Your instructions were clear; I just need to decide if and when I want to go through the process. In any case, thanks! :-D

That sounds fun! I hope you have a good time. I hope your schedule works well too.

I haven't watched that one yet, but I've thought about it because it should be interesting. Good background music can make a clip twice as good. I thought it was funny when The Late Show with David Letterman had a segment called "Getting to Know the Alleged Time Square Bomber". It claimed, "He's described by neighbors as a quiet man who would celebrate holidays by blowing up sheds," followed by a clip of a shed exploding. That's not the funny part. The funny part was they had an elegant piano rendition of "Getting to Know You" from The King and I playing in the background. X-D

That sounds awesome! I can imagine it as a tongue-in-cheek take on various films and books in which a place is devastated and our heroes have to navigate/escape from/save the area. I like the idea of the regional gators too. Do you plan to give any of them sunglasses like Ash's Krookodile? Raidra (talk) 01:17, March 26, 2016 (UTC)

It's funny 'cause it's true!
~laughs at the news stations bit~ Oh, that is great!

I remember when that animated movie came out. From the previews I saw it looked like they added a whole bunch of other stuff (an evil sorcerer or something like that), and that may be one reason it didn't do well. Well, I assume it didn't do well. It kinda dropped off the radar entirely. Roger Ebert reviewed a version called Anna and the King starring Jodie Foster. He noted that Jodie Foster was too smart to play stupid and should never try. He didn't like that version too much, but he noted that at least it didn't have "I Whistle A Happy Tune". I'm not familiar with that song, so I don't know if it would be funny background music for anything. Raidra (talk) 01:02, March 27, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Weebly Site
First, sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I've been both busy and lazy. An amazingly useless combination, really.

Anyway, as for the site design. If I remember correctly, it was, for the most part, just a design you could choose from some premade options the site offers. Plus, you can add pictures as a header (which I did). Pretty sure you just have to click the picture the side preloaded, and add your own.

Hope that helped.

I Whistle an Ironic Tune
Yeah, that would be funny! :-D

Now that I've thought about it a little, I think you're right. It would be fine to leave it as it is so the reader can decide, "What in the Pokemon world happened here? What led to someone turning into a Charmander?" I imagine it as someone volunteering for an experiment that went wrong, but that's just me.

Have you ever had a treat called "edible Easter grass"? It's a potato starch and cornstarch mixture that's artificially flavored and colored, formed into thin sheets (I don't know if it's pressed, rolled, or what), and cut into straws. I like that and I like black jellybeans. Of course, I like chocolate too. Mmm...milk chocolate! I've been craving chocolate recently. I'm glad I don't live in the Marvel Comics universe because I'm pretty sure that's a sign your body has been invaded by an alien symbiote. Raidra (talk) 00:39, March 28, 2016 (UTC)

Little Pokedex of Horror
I remember a couple times I got something called Nibble Notes from a store. It had a small plastic clipboard (maybe two and a half by four inches) with sheets of edible paper and a food coloring pen. The idea was that you could write notes with the food coloring pen and then eat them. Either the company stopped making it or the store stopped selling it. I still have the two clipboards with the food color pens though.

I've seen a couple videos on YouTube about scary Pokedex entries and thought, "Holy cow! I never realized this was so terrifying!" Seriously, how is anyone still alive in the Pokemon World? The commercials make them seem so cute and friendly, and then you read some of these Pokedex entries and think, "AAHHH! AH-AH-AAAAHHHHHH!!!" The Pokedex- turning a children's fantasy world into the tunnel scene from Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory since 1996. Raidra (talk) 01:13, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

Sorry for the Delay
I didn't see your message until today, I think I overlooked it because it was in between the comics, sorry about that. Whatever works, right? They just released a Pokemon 3DS not too long ago, but it is expensive, don't know if that would interest you. It looked good though I wish I knew what type of Pokemon she turned into.

I read it a while ago, but I don't know if it the current up to date version. Buckle up!  I'm going to be popular  17:17, March 29, 2016 (UTC)


 * That's a neat idea. You might also consider just having the seal (the circle part in the middle of the Pokeball) be the area that changes color, since there are a wide color variety of specialty balls that might use up those colors already (not sure if that is the case though). You might even give a lore reason for the color change and have it be something along the lines of it doing that so that the Poke Center can tell what's wrong with the Pokemon by just looking at the Pokeball. Buckle up!   I'm going to be popular  03:43, March 30, 2016 (UTC)


 * Just do what you want to :) Pokemon Colosseum and XD Gale of Darkness had special balls that let you steal Pokemon, I think, so you should look into that (you could definitely still Pokemon, but that was because they were abused by their trainers and were "Shadow Pokemon").


 * Here's where you'd go for an appeal: http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Spinoff_Appeal I'm not sure what you'd say. I guess state that you are trying an unorthodox approach to the Pokemon Creepypasta genre. Buckle up!   I'm going to be popular  06:32, April 1, 2016 (UTC)


 * Don't worry about it :D You'd be hard-pressed to find a country with a more interesting and colored history, that's for sure! Be sure to cover how they use trains for transit! I'd also recommend mentioning how it is different from US, maybe mention how some restaurants have conveyor belts that carry food on them and you can grab whatever one you want off it. Some restaurants even make customers go to the kitchen, put their food together, and cook it themselves.


 * Sure. Worst case scenario is that you get some more writing experience and a better idea of what the Wiki looks for in stories. Buckle up!   I'm going to be popular  06:26, April 2, 2016 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I saw. If you send the pasta to me after you complete it, I'll look over it and give you feedback before you go through the deletion appeal/spin-off appeal (not sure which avenue you'd go through, probably deletion appeal and then spin-off again). If you follow everything that Empyre pointed out then I'm sure you'll do great. The vast majority of people that have their stories denied just complain to Empyre about it and argue instead of trying to improve their works; so good on you! I'd say that you already have one foot in the door based upon that alone :) Buckle up!   I'm going to be popular  20:51, April 4, 2016 (UTC)


 * Those people like to think that they've written the greatest thing ever made and that anyone who doesn't like it is an idiot, I think. I agree, trying to put out the best story that one can should be what all writers aspire to.


 * I thought that dream was going to go to some really dark places, glad it didn't. I mean, it was odd and somewhat unsettling, but it didn't get super freaky like I thought it was headed (cause cults).

 * I don't remember much about him, but I do remember that he created Pokemon based upon his love of collecting bugs as a kid. He certainly never expected it to catch on as well as it did.


 * Sure, but it'll be tomorrow or the day after before I help. I'm trying to focus on something I've been writing as I need to make some progress.


 * It's a conspiracy I tell you, a conspiracy. I chose well then! Tomoko Kuroki is a girl. She's not so much an accurate physical representation of me, but rather more of a personality-wise accurate representation of me.

 * Oh, you shared a nightmare with me the other day, so here's the one I had last night :P I was in a city at the mall with my parents and a friend (the friend doesn't exist in real life). Anyway, I was hanging out with my friend and we decided to leave the mall so we went to the mall parking lot and caught a bus. The bus took off with us in it before I could check how much cash I had and as we were going I realized that I didn't have too much in the way of cash, so I asked the bus driver if he could just stop the bus like two blocks from where we started and he complied. I gave him two dollars, exited and began to walk back toward the mall. As I was walking there was this creepy and somewhat inhuman looking person who was stopped at a stoplight, we made eye contact so I waved. My dream then showed my parents and they were telling the police that I had been missing for over twenty-four hours. Eventually, a police officer brought a package to my parents and they opened it to find my hand inside (it was the one that I had waved with).


 * I then woke up and was lying on my left side facing my wall. I wanted to roll over onto my back, but I felt really creeped out by my nightmare and thus felt like someone/thing was behind me. I ended up caving and screaming for my mom whose bedroom is next to mine. I got the courage to roll over when the door opened and I saw the beastly looking man who had cut off my hand. Then I woke up for real. I tell ya, fake wake ups are as bad as dream sequences in movies. I might actually try to turn the dream into a creepypasta if I can make it more coherent.


 * Anyway, I feel like we've touched on my having nightmares a couple of times and that I've never shared one or went in-depth with you about one before, so there you go XD By the way, you might not have had time to read the post above this one.

I'm glad some good came out of it XD The only emulator I ever got to work was the Visual Boy (Gameboy Advanced), so don't beat yourself up over it.

That sounds like it would make for a good pasta. A kid could potentially find the mascots to be horrifying too. I'll try to read your review tomorrow after I attempt to come up with ideas for your Pasta. Buckle up!  I'm going to be popular  06:26, April 9, 2016 (UTC)


 * I read your review of 'The Hole' and I thought it was good. The father getting sucked down the hole and possessed certainly sounds clever and like an interesting idea. "We eat as a family," sounds both impactful and like a line that could be uttered in a comedy film. Sad to hear that it is a mixed bag though. I'm going to look through your pasta and get back to you with some new ideas. Buckle up!   I'm going to be popular  22:05, April 9, 2016 (UTC)

ASH pooped his pants from fear!
I think if they introduced Morso- and Ratafak- inspired Pokemon people would scream and flee in terror. I do love your idea for a horror-themed Pokemon game, though; they really should make at least one. Shoot, they have creepy Pokedex entries, and a number of towers are haunted, so why not have a horror game? It could also have Pokemon that disguise themselves as humans. This happens often in Japanese folklore, and the anime had that Gastly posing as the Ghost of Maiden's Peak.

Speaking of Pokepasta, there's this- http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pok%C3%A9mon_Macaroni_%26_Cheese. Raidra (talk) 01:31, March 30, 2016 (UTC)
 * By the way, I happened to see your comment to Vroom about the Pokeballs reflecting the status conditions, and I think that's a cool idea too. Raidra (talk) 01:34, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

Macintosh and Cheese
Wow, it sounds like your tablet is full of itself. Speaking of campers, my older brother had a toy which was passed on to me and then to my nephew (my brother's son)- a toy Winnebago. We jokingly call it a "Winnie-a-bago" because that's how my brother pronounced it when he was little. Let me tell ya, that thing is sweet! I used to put my dolls and action figures in it like they were going on a road trip. I got a Barbie camper for Christmas one year too, and while I'm not sure that real-life campers have grills that turn into make-up tables, that was sweet too. Before I gave the Winnebago to my nephew I drew the inside so I could put it in my comics. I don't watch Two Broke Girls, but there was an episode in which they had to clean a hoarder's apartment. The commercial showed them in the apartment, and on top of a stack of clothes and whatnot was a toy Winnebago just like ours. I said, "Hey, there's Winneabago!"

The fact that Vroom didn't know right away that it was a Charmander makes me feel a little less guilty that I literally said, "The experience also made me think that the character would have heightened senses in Charmander form," in my latest comment on the blog. I thought, "Don't say that! You'll be accused of giving away spoilers!" but I decided to word it that way anyway since a different post had already noted that someone had turned into a Pokemon.

"That hurt my feelings so much that I’ll never like you now!" "Luckily for you, my bedroom’s on fire!" ~laughs~ That was better than some actual Pokemon episodes that I've seen! I'll have to watch more installments. Thanks for sharing! :-)

No problem. I should probably charge mine soon. Raidra (talk) 15:35, March 30, 2016 (UTC)

Now with creamy ego filling!
Could you post a link? It would be neat to compare the original draft with the final draft.

Auto-correct is a double-edged sword, isn't it? If you type in my user name it "corrects" it to "Raider". Of course, maybe the auto-correct is just a big fan of Oakland football.

Ash has matured from what I've seen in recent years, but early on he was often an arrogant whiner. I can understand having someone have a lack of maturity in order to show the maturing process, but that's not the way to do it. They should have done it like Pokemon Origins did it, with the protagonist starting out more naive and prone to setbacks, and then maturing and gaining knowledge & experience until he becomes a master (I know Pokemon Origins came later, but you know what I mean). I like your idea a lot better than what the anime gave us! That would have been awesome (No fooling!). Raidra (talk) 01:01, April 1, 2016 (UTC)
 * I had another thought about your idea. Not only would it be about Misty and Peter, but it would be about Misty's other Pokemon too.  They'd be a little suspicious of Peter at first because of his type advantage over them, and Peter would be a little anxious as the new kid, but they'd realize he was a good egg, and he'd realize that they were all part of the same team.


 * By the way, in honor of April Fools’ Day, here’s a blog I did about a prank that was not well thought out- http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Raidra/Attack_of_the_Brainless_Hoaxers Raidra (talk) 00:57, April 3, 2016 (UTC)

Pokemon Psychic?
That's a shame. I'm glad you're still trying, though, and I'm intrigued by what you've shown me so far.

I don't think I read your mind, but then again I first misread the last sentence as "The good news is that I got my feet wet and now I know how to make the story even wetter," so I can be wrong about things. Raidra (talk) 01:11, April 4, 2016 (UTC)

I'm hysterical and I'm wet!
~Zero Mostel slaps face~ I'm hysterical, and I'm wet, and my face hurts! How is it we keep coming back to The Producers?

Gee, if you can't trust cult members to provide emotional cues and serve acceptable tea, then who can you trust? That's one of those freaky dreams in which things go from fun to horrifying. Let me tell you, your dream journal entries are more interesting than- uh, never mind. I was going to say they were more interesting than a lot of what's on television, but that's cursing with faint praise, isn't it?

That sounds good, and I agree that the flashbacks would work best. Would you want to provide a comment telling how rare or how common this procedure is? Also, I have a question. People can be changed into other Pokemon too, correct? For instance, could someone be changed into a Squirtle, Chikorita, or Scyther? Raidra (talk) 01:28, April 5, 2016 (UTC)

Springtime for CreepsMcPasta
Hey! I would have responded earlier, but I was posting a comic book to Vroom's page. I think I've finally learned how to post the pages and annotations so they're convenient and they don't squish your messages! ~fingers crossed~

If CreepsMcPasta is who I think it is, then yeah, he has some creepy ones! It's funny how things mix together in dreams sometimes. Have you ever read The BFG by Roald Dahl? The Big Friendly Giant has jars with dreams that he's caught. The good dreams float around peacefully and the bad dreams thrash violently. He can mix dreams together to create specific dreams, which plays an important part in the story.

Since you mentioned the procedure not going properly, have you thought about doing a pasta in which various Pokemon are some kind of failed experiments? How weird would it be if these Pokemon were descended from people turned into strange creatures? Raidra (talk) 00:36, April 6, 2016 (UTC)


 * Oh, wait, I forgot something! Remember when I requested you do a riff on my deleted pasta, "Tanks for the Exhilaration"?  I'm not trying to rush you because I know you have things on your plate, so you'll get to it when you get to it.  I'm just reminding you because there was a discussion about the size of gas tanks in my comics.  One of the comics I posted to Vroom's page had a character inhaling oxygen, and I'd thought I'd share it for you could see for yourself.  As you can see, the tank is one-half or one-third the size of real-life medical gas tanks. Raidra (talk) 01:00, April 6, 2016 (UTC)

It gets late early out there
Oh, that's quite all right! I know how busy schoolwork and hobbies can make a person. I know you have a lot on your plate already, so I don't want to be the pushy lunch lady dumping globs of peas on the plate and shouting, "Eat your peas!! Eat your peas!!" (I've never experienced that; I think that's from cartoons rather than real life.)

I found out the YouTube user I was thinking of wasn't CreepsMcPasta- it was Creeps Plays. When investigating that I found this video about Pokemon based on mythological creatures. That made me think that your report could have a portion talking about Pokemon inspired by creatures from Japanese folklore. Vulpix and Ninetales (and probably Zorua and Zoroark too) are based on the kitsune, Magikarp was inspired by the legend of carp who can transform into dragons, Meowth resembles a maneki-neko , and various newer Pokemon seem to be inspired by the legends of inanimate objects gaining life. You could also mention how traditional Japanese foods were replaced or renamed in the English dub of the anime (such as calling rice balls "jelly doughnuts" or superimposing sandwiches), which I think is dumb. Seriously, 4Kids, let us see some culture! ~does Napoleon Dynamite style disgusted sigh~

Incidentally, the heading of my post is a quote from the great, late Yogi Berra- you know, this guy. My favorite Yogi-ism is "You can observe a lot by watching." As for the guy outside the gym, yeah, that would be interesting! Raidra (talk) 14:09, April 7, 2016 (UTC)

Smarter than the average Berra
It's interesting because he was clearly named after Yogi Berra, but he was based on Art Carney's character from The Honeymooners. The sad thing is I heard they tried to play off the Yogi Berra connection with that, like, "No, he's not related to Yogi Berra at all! He's based on Art Carney's Honeymooners character!" You think, "Really? Sure, he's based on Art Carney's character, but that doesn't mean he's not named after Yogi!" Sheesh. It was interesting the morning that Yogi Berra died. I was sad at first, but then they started talking about the Yogi-isms and I started laughing out loud. They say that he didn't really say all those quotes, that some of them were misattributed. He admitted so himself, noting, "I didn't really say all those things I said." :-D

I saw a guy at a restaurant who was sneezing repeatedly, and his wife explained that he sneezed like that when he ate too much (or maybe it was too quickly). My family sometimes has strange health issues too. In fact, Mom literally said, "I have strange things happen to me." For one thing, she has an esophageal web, and that's not something you hear about often. My late grandmother had a form of dementia, and near the end of her life she'd spell things. She was bedridden, and she'd say things like, "T-U-R-N me over." No one we've spoken to has ever heard of anything like that.

I promise I'll give the newest draft a look. Writer's block is a terrible thing. Have you tried listening to music? That's often helpful for me.

Would the Shia LaBeouf Bidoof wear a paper bag saying, "I am not famous anymore"? Raidra (talk) 00:30, April 9, 2016 (UTC)

I eulogize the living
The weird thing is one time I bought a Frank Sinatra album on two cassettes, and shortly afterward he died. I also got Goodbye Yellow Brick Road by Elton John. One of the songs was "Roy Rogers", and then Roy Rogers died. I told my brother about this and he joked that I should get a cassette tape of an artist he didn't like. There was a horror film called I Bury the Living. That was one included in this commercial advertising fifty classic horror movies on DVD. The thing I found funny was the guy doing the voice-over was so excited that he was using a tone of voice that really didn't match the subject matter. The guy said something like, "You get classics such as Last Man on Earth and I Bury the Living!" and he just sounded so enthusiastic about burying the living.

For me it depends. Sometimes music with lyrics helps and other times it's distracting. I guess it depends on what I'm doing (such as writing versus reading). Also, sometimes I like silence, but a lot of times I prefer background noise (such as a radio or television). I usually listen to music (with or without words, but usually with words) when I'm drawing my comics. I'd say it depends on what your state of mind is and not the type of music.

That's why we think Mamma had some other form of dementia and not Alzheimer's. What she had just didn't match the symptoms. There's a tendency to label all dementia patients as having Alzheimer's when that's not the case. That would be as inaccurate as diagnosing all blood cancers as leukemia, or diagnosing all stomach ailments as ulcers.

I was busy with other things today, but I have that pastebin draft copied onto my word processor so I can review it. I apologize for not getting to it, and I'll let you know any thoughts that I have. As for The Honeymooners, I heard that Eddie Murphy had a brutal routine about them. :-0 There was also an episode of Pinky & the Brain that ripped off a famous Honeymooners episode, but I didn't know it for years because I didn't know about the original episode. Then I saw a segment about the original episode and I thought, "Oh, okay! I get that cartoon now!" Raidra (talk) 00:48, April 10, 2016 (UTC)

Netflix in Wonderland
Ah, I don't have Netflix anymore. They decided to raise their rates to $10 a month and they don't have near the shows they used to, I can always watch whatever on the internet anyway. You could always do a "forgotten" Disneyland. Basically just make up a Disneyland location and set the story there, most people wouldn't know better and you could do whatever you wanted. Buckle up!

 * That sounds like fun! I've never been to a Disney park, but I've always wanted to go. It's good that you are going through cutting out some of the unneeded bits. A better flow makes for a better story. You might consider writing alternate scenes wherever you can and writing from there too. You might have to scrap some of what you've written and go in a new direction to get over the writer's block and to finish the pasta. I dunno though, just do what you think is best for the story.


 * Never heard of it, but it sounds funny. There's someone else called Yuri of Wind, I believe, who does the same thing on YouTube except alone (usually haunted game pastas). Buckle up!   I'm going to be popular  20:59, April 13, 2016 (UTC)


 * Can algae really do that? I do like the idea of it being a hallucination. I think you should find a subtle way to hammer home that the neighborhood has old people in it other than for the protagonist and her friend, it would make the hallucination ending look smoother.


 * Yay, sleepy time music XD Buckle up!   I'm going to be popular  04:52, April 15, 2016 (UTC)


 * That sounds right to me. Fish are so various and wildly different from each other, plus quite a few are able to do a number on the human body because of their chemical composition. I could see a type of algae being able to mess with a person in such a manner too, it could be native only to that lake.


 * They aren't much different from anywhere else, really (my neighborhood, town for that matter, is mostly elderly people). There's probably the one crazy cat lady with twenty cats, most of the lawns are probably nicely kempt, maybe a wheelchair ramp or two on the block, and one or two houses might have a basketball hoop because grandkids or it has been there for a long time. Fixing up the story to better reflect her age would definitely be a good things, because I honestly had the vibe that she was twelve or thirteenish.

It's a creepy world after all
Thanks, I'll have to give that a look! It should be interesting. I noticed the link says "the real full house reviewed". Is there a fake full house that other people have been blogging about? The nerve of them!

You're certainly welcome! I'm glad to hear it.

Oh, that sounds like it could be a good one! That would be a frightening situation, especially with your fear convincing you that the characters there to help you are actually out to harm you. Plus, in a place like that it must be easy to get overwhelmed. My Dad brought me along to ComputerFest at Hara Arena (a local venue that hosts conventions, hockey games, ice shows, trade shows, graduations, library sales, and the like) a couple years. If you've ever seen Disney's Beauty and the Beast, it was like the part of the opening number with the crowd of villagers pressing through the street. I held onto Dad's hand and he held onto mine to make sure nothing happened to me. We found some cool games and things, though, so it was worth it. Whether you decide to make it real Disney or fake Disney, keep me posted! Raidra (talk) 01:32, April 11, 2016 (UTC)

Ugh, there's Code V on the floor!
Wow. Some of those seem standard and others seem far-out. I do like the "Code V" (or "Protein Spill", if you want to go old school) for vomit though. I also like how a couple of the sites listed the rules while showing pictures of every one of them being broken. There was one noting that you have to look like the character. I assume that's just for characters like Cinderella, Belle, and Aladdin, because otherwise it might hurt people's feelings for casting directors to look at them and declare they'd make a perfect King Louie or Winnie the Pooh. Since even the janitors and such are considered cast members, I wonder how many of them later brag, "Yeah, I was part of the cast at Disneyland! I really cleaned up, lemme tell you!" I don't blame them. They work hard scooping up trash and cleaning up protein spills.

Look at what I came across today- an article talking about how Alzheimer's is dementia, but not all dementia is Alzheimer's- http://www.daytondailynews.com/news/lifestyles/dementia-and-what-families-can-do/nq22h/. It's interesting that I should find this so soon after our conversation.

Does this part take place after the narrator accidentally burns the nurse, or is it after what you've already shown? Raidra (talk) 02:46, April 13, 2016 (UTC)

Mouse arrest
If you mean which sites showed the rules being broken- http://guff.com/16-secret-rules-for-disney-employees and http://diply.com/different-solutions/disney-employee-rules/150512. They don't show employees breaking the rules, though- they show pictures that would be breaking the rules. For instance, if you look at the first page ("16 Secret Rules for Disney Characters"), number three talks about proper facial hair and the picture shows Alice like she has a big beard, and number seven talks about nail polish being forbidden while showing someone with nails painted to look like Disney characters. Number 15 on that same site talks about protein spills/code v. The part about looking the part is on number six on this site- http://emgn.com/entertainment/15-secret-rules-disney-employees-arent-allowed-tell/, and number 12 also talks about the Code V.  I wonder how many employees call it a "Code 5" by mistake, like how an episode of Family Matters had a character call Malcolm X "Malcolm 10".

I see. It's looking good!

You're certainly welcome. Raidra (talk) 02:13, April 14, 2016 (UTC)

Malcolmia in the Middle
Aw, it's going to be like the Nightmare on Elm Street and Friday the 13th movies- make a bunch of sequels and then have a reboot! Boo! I'm not much into sitcoms (at least not modern sitcoms), but I occasionally I've caught a funny scene while flipping through the channels. There was one where they went to the Burning Man festival (or something like that) and Bryan Cranston drew an appreciative crowd for raking or sweeping the dirt yard outside the trailer. They were laughing and applauding, like it was some great performance, and he demanded, "What's wrong with you people!?" I don't remember what was actually said, but there was once an Oliver North routine that was funny too.

I'll have to read the draft later, but yeah, I like Doom's idea. At what point do you think Kristy should discover the superstition about the telling of a ghost story summoning the ghost? Should Hotaka tell her (meaning he knew the superstition, but didn't think it was real) or should they find out together (meaning Hotaka didn't know the superstition)?

Yes, it's good. I like what you've posted so far. Raidra (talk) 01:56, April 16, 2016 (UTC)
 * I read the draft on the link you sent me (, the one entitled "Here ya Go"), but it looked the same as the one you sent a link to a few days ago (, the one entitled "Help this Pasta!!!!"). Don't get me wrong; I like what you have so far.  I just can't tell any difference between those two drafts just from a read-through.  Could you please explain the differences? Raidra (talk) 00:30, April 17, 2016 (UTC)
 * Oh, wait, never mind! I just saw where you explained it to Doom.  Sorry about that!  Like I said, I like what you have so far. Raidra (talk) 00:55, April 17, 2016 (UTC)

I don't know if you could use this, but I thought about this earlier today. The Lion King ended with Simba and Nala's cub being presented. The original book adaptations described the cub as a male, and storybooks went further by telling stories of Simba's son, Kopa. Well, they decided to make a sequel (The Lion King II: Simba's Pride, which I personally didn't care for), and they decided to make Simba and Nala's cub a female (a daughter named Kiara). Suddenly Kopa was non-canon since they changed their minds and made the cub a girl instead. Disney probably hoped people would overlook it, or just say, "Well, that character's not canon anymore, so let's forget about him and move on." However, some fans have ended up making morbid theories about something happening to Kopa (the most popular being that Zira, the villainess from the second movie, killed him between movies). To sum it up, Disney screwed up their own timeline and the results were not good. I just wondered if you could incorporate that theme (someone from Disney inadvertently making a situation worse/inducing a bad situation) into your upcoming story somehow.

The Lion... um... Ruler
That's more original than a lot of the Lion King fan-fiction I've read!

I remember when CN started re-running Goosebumps. Unfortunately, I remember that whole "CN Real" debacle too. Ugh! ~shudders~ It should have been called "CN Really Selling Out for No Real Reason". Yeah, that sounds good. I do think it helps pin down the character's age. Incidentally, as an old woman I remember when Goosebumps originally aired on Fox. ~rocks on rocking chair~ I remember back in the day... Raidra (talk) 00:59, April 19, 2016 (UTC)

Golden slumbers
I was just telling Doom about this video I discovered today with someone's choices for the top six weirdest anime (which they incorrectly called "animes", but hey, nobody's perfect)- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qkgzs49AtY0. There's some mildly unsettling material here and there, and some of the footage is so manic that it's hard to see what's happening. I hope that's not the actual speed, because if it is then it's a wonder more people haven't had seizures watching anime! I actually think number three makes sense, and the number one honestly isn't too far from something I'd do. I thought of you because you talk about watching those sleepy videos and number six is a cartoon of some girl sleeping. It's not about dreams (like the old comic strips "Little Nemo in Slumberland" and "Dream of the Rarebit Fiend") or creatures/spirits that come out at night- it's just some girl sleeping. Ironically I fell asleep on the couch sometime after watching the video. Coincidence?

I like the new addition! I think it's realistic and shows the closeness between the two characters. It's also interesting to think that the storyteller will be affected as well as the listener. Raidra (talk) 03:03, April 20, 2016 (UTC)

Get your enemy placement, cheap!
We have enemy placement, three for five dollars! It would be great if they re-did a lot of games. Then there are games that were so botched that they never should have been released. The comic strip Dilbert once had a great Sunday cartoon about botched products. An engineer will tell his boss that he'll need six months to develop and make the product (three months to work on the project and three months to play Doom on his computer), then that boss will tell his boss the project will take twelve months, and then that boss will tell his boss that the project will take eighteen months. In the meanwhile, the sales division will announce that the product will be available in three months and boast about all these great features. This causes the company to rush out a shoddy beta version. In the last panel a potential customer was looking over some product made of cardboard. She notes, "Cardboard? That's stupid," and Dilbert replies, "Oh, then it's beta."

It's always irritating in the computer game Castle of the Winds whenever you're sorting through the loot you got from killing monsters, and you get the message, "You see a monster!" It doesn't happen every time, but when it does you think, "Oh, come on!" Out of curiosity, how would you compare the enemy placement in Little Nemo: The Dream Master to walking through the grass in Pokemon? It seems that whenever I'm in a hurry in Pokemon Gold, I bump into wild Pokemon, but when I want to fight to level up my squad, I have to search for them.

Speaking of Pokemon, earlier today I watched some videos of someone playing Pokemon Stadium. It looked really cool, and I honestly loved that the Pokemon made bestial noises instead of saying their names. If you've played the game, or otherwise know about it, I'd appreciate it if you filled me in on it. Raidra (talk) 01:04, April 22, 2016 (UTC)

Thanks anyway!
In case you're interested, here's a link to the videos I watched- https://www.youtube.com/user/vussj I watched the videos for Pokemon Stadium I and II. Part of the fun was watching some of the Pokemon dance! I don't know if I'll watch any of the videos for the other games since, you know, they might not feature as much dancing. "Pokemon XD: Gale of Darkness was my true introduction to 3D Pokemon games. It has everything Stadium has to offer and more." Sounds intriguing! I assume that includes Pokemon dancing? In any case, here's to game systems that don't become obsolete in a year!

When I saw that the episode was about a scarecrow I hoped that it was based on the Goosebumps book The Scarecrow Walks at Midnight. I know that doesn't makes sense because that's a completely different series, but that was one of my favorites. This sounds good, though. It sounds very atmospheric, the kind of stripped-down horror which can be very effective and chilling.

What? Jeff the Killer's not scary? This is the first I've heard of this. ;-) Raidra (talk) 00:57, April 23, 2016 (UTC)

Abandoned by Fearer
She's one of the lizard people who are members of the Illuminati and rule the world by using Goldman Sachs as a front to fund her political campaigns. You can vote for Bernie, but I shall vote for Big Bird. One of these days it is going to happen and "oooh boy", Big Bird is going to make the word a safe place and we'll all be signing the ABC's together in harmony.

No. I know it has some big names attached to it, but I honestly don't have any interest in it. The animation is a classic and they should have just left it at that. Not that I've seen the animation in over a decade. The other day I actually though about how neat it would be to turn my pasta, The Intrusion, into a point and click game. I looove those games with a passion, I really do. I've thought about learning a smidgen of coding in an effort to make a Visual Novel (wouldn't be too hard, just have to learn how to code pathways/story routes).

Hmmm, what was I afraid of? Well, there was the dreamcatcher, bleeding, and uh... I don't remember what else, but I'm sure there was a lot. I remember once thinking I saw dinosaurs walking around in the kitchen and waking up my mom to tell her when I was probably either 2 or 3. Buckle up!

 * I understand completely. Those programs are costly as all heck, so one has to be sure that they are really committed before they try programming. What sucks is when the programs you know get phased out and you are forced to learn new ones. I'm still somewhat looking forward to trying my hand at it though. I just want to get out there and experience things.


 * I can agree with that. On the flip side, I get annoyed when they remake great thinks. Speaking of which, I'm pretty angry that they are remaking Jumangi. Robin Williams is dead and that was a masterpiece, leave it alone. Drop Dead Fred sounds like a neat film actually. Buckle up!   I'm going to be popular  05:26, April 24, 2016 (UTC)

I don't think I ever watched Zathura, though I do remember the commercials for it. There is just something about that name that sticks in one's head, Zathura. LOL. That'd be great! He truly was a Zelda fan XD Robin Williams is an interesting guy. Back when Stephen Spielberg was directing Schindler's List (a film about the horrors of the holocaust and a Nazi who saved Jews, you should watch it) Robin Williams would call him everyday and tell him jokes to cheer him up because directing such a film really bothered and depressed him.

I'll give it a read tomorrow. I'm super sick right now and can't concentrate on anything. I think I'm going to call it a day actually. Buckle up!  I'm going to be popular  01:15, April 26, 2016 (UTC)

Abandoned by scariness factor
Years before I'd even heard about this site I encountered urban legends like that. There was one that terrified me until I saw the gaping holes in the story. Sure enough, the story (thankfully) turned out to be a hoax. There were also things from my childhood that scared me at the time, but years later they weren't as scary.

I haven't read enough by Slimebeast to have an opinion. I'm embarrassed to admit that I haven't read "Abandoned by Disney" yet. I read the sequel (I think it's called "Room Zero") a while back though. Someday I'll read the original, re-read the sequel, and leave comments on both. Until then, I hope Slimebeast is better than this sports commentator I read about one time. Another commentator (a guy from the same network) made a comment that was actually complimentary, and the one guy responded, "I'd like to wring [his] neck and hang him over a shower rod like a duck." Ohhh-kayyy...

That vulture incident is horrible! Any idea how that was eventually resolved? My dark suspicion is that the Disney heads threw the workers (who were told their actions would be legal and okay) under the bus. Then again, the workers should have said, "Say, this doesn't seem right. We'd better check on the legal and moral aspects of this." They all should have been punished. In any case, I like your ideas. It kinds like it could be one of those gradually building horror stories (I know you said it's a game, but it still tells a story). Raidra (talk) 01:04, April 24, 2016 (UTC)
 * Also, the idea that they'd hire just anybody is unsettling when you think about it. Raidra (talk) 01:05, April 24, 2016 (UTC)

Shower rod! Duck!
I think the way they treated those birds is wrong either way (If you insist on killing them, then kill them quickly and humanely instead of letting them swelter in cages), but yeah, if they were endangered or protected, then that's really bad. I could tell the Jungle Book vultures were based on The Beatles, but I never knew the Fab Four were supposed to voice them. How cool would it have been if The Beatles had agreed and voiced them? I once heard the characters described as "a quartet of Liverpudlian vultures." "Liverpudlian" means "from Liverpool", which I think is a cool Beatles reference.

I'll give the latest draft a look, but until then, I think it's a good addition. It feels like further detail/background and not padding. Speaking of forgetting things, I remembered something recently. I told you about my grandmother who had dementia and would spell things. Well, sometime in the 1980s or '90s, she had a preliminary stroke. It didn't seem to affect her speech, but recently I thought of that and wondered if it had any impact on her dementia.
