*its gone now*
*has a fit*

*dead*

(whats animeNEXT?)

*dead*

@Jelly_Belly - AnimeNEXT is an anime Convention for NY/NJ/CT/PA area, and it's on June 16-18, 2006.

HAHAHA ITS GONE NOW!! ausofhoasdfh!

Ive never been to a convention...well...someone better go and write us a report and get us some scans OR IMMA GONNA BLOW UP!!! ashfoashfdoaf!

*dead again*

The fan art contest is over now! I got 7 drawings! I can already say that all the participants will win something. Thank you very much! For the others, don't worry! I'll make another fan art contest. I don't know when, but I'll make anoter one.

Azura Elric: I vote for no eye-patch too. Like Tombow said, that can be a spoiler for some people.

>Valérie
Happy judging ^^

>Azura
Nya! 2 eyepatches! Then you can be a double pirate whilst hitting people becuase you've lost your site behind your patches! ...no, how about no eye-patch? You can see better and you wont lose your sense of direction and distance. And 2 eyes are better than 1. (yeah I guess some people wouldnt have seen the movie...fans of the dub?)

Fellow Cosplayers to Azura: Oi, whats with the eyepatch, Azura?! Are you Captian Feathersword from the Wiggles?
Azura: Eer, Im Roy! Seeeeee *points at eyepatch*
Cosplayer: No wai? Roy doesnt HAVE an eyepatch! You're Captian Feathersword!
Azura: Jesus, have you even SEEN the movie?!
Cosplayer: No.

@ everyone <-- sorry, short-term memory attack
Thank you for your overwhelming nice comments!! I'm so happy to hear it *flushes, gasps, faints* I'm beginning to flirt with my new Roy~ XP

*waves* HELLO Glam~ nice to see you athough we've not met before..
I've never been to anime convention.. *sobs under the moonlight* If I had the chance I would of course, go and cosplay as Riza and drag Keita from the JPop-band "w-inds" to wear Roy's costume, he's soo cute!


Ling? Is it because the new hairstyle has a "tail" at the back? The smexy layered extension at the back I mean..


I vote for no eyepatch.. Like Jelly_Belly said, you will look like Capatain Feathersword.. IMO, you should wear a pirate hat to go along with that eyepatch! Then, you will be "Roy Mustang, the LOST Pirate of Carribean" Still, without eyepatch would be more comfy for you..

@ Valérie
Happy judging too ^^= and sorry for not being able to submit a picture the contest.. EXAMS SUCK!

>MeLRizA
You didnt enter? YOU GOT PROBLEMS!! *just kidding* If you entered, boy would you WIN! In YOUR age group anyway. I havnt been to a convention either Australia's so slack.

Whats IMO mean?

@Jelly_Belly - IMO is "in my opinion."
BTW (by the way,) IMHO is "in my humble opinion."

Everyone who missed the deadline for Valérie's Royai fanart contest -
Reminder that you can still post your fanart on (randomly decided) June 11th Royai Day, (you're gonna post that, right?? ) and it's right around the corner, so please keep working on your Royai fanart, and make them ready for the Royai Day!!

XD ok ok everyone. Grandma doesn't have the time to work the patch so no eyepatchy XP

My uniform rank is wrong anyway for the patch version XD. Ah who cares, I don't want no corporal Mustang <.<

Must save lots of money for stuff~

I was wondering about that too today! A classmate told me what it means.

@ Azura - I'm glad you decided to go without an eyepatch. You will show us a photo of you in your Roy-costume, won't you? I really hope so ^^

Yes. Corporal Mustang is a very depressing subject. yeah.
Don't get me wrong, he's still sexy glompable hot, but still, depressing all the same.

HI!!!!!!
I have found this in a japanese page it has something like this in its title "comic cd collection"
I will post here a little bit of it:
リザ　「おつかれのようですね、マスタング大佐」
ロイ　「ああ、ホークアイ中尉か。軍人などなるものではないと痛感しているところさ」
リザ　「他の職に就かれている大佐は想像できませんけど」
ロイ　「その評価、よろこんでいいものかな。――で、君に任せている件はどうだ」
リザ　「はい。バローナを含め、この地域には複数の犯罪組織が存在するようです。くわしい調査はこれからですが……」
ロイ　「わかった、引き続きたのむ。」
リザ　「了解しました。」
ロイ　「ふぅ――…」

　と、バタンと扉が開いてハボックが入ってくる

ハボック「（やや遠め）ジャン・ハボック少尉、外回りより戻りました～」

　ハボック、カツカツとロイ、リザに歩みより

ハボック「報告します、大佐！　現時点まで、街中で大きな問題は起きておりません！」
ロイ　「戻りが遅いぞ、ハボック」
ハボック「なんせ、この人出の上にブタ追いパレードがありましたから。あちこち軽いケガ人も出てましたし……、聞いた話じゃ、パレードのことをよく知らない旅行者が、うっかり参加資格の花を受けとったとか」
ロイ　「ふん。どこの浮かれたバカだ、その旅行者は。それよりも、ハボック」
ハボック「？　なんです」
ロイ　「遊んできてないだろうな」
ハボック「やだなー、当然ですよ。怪しい連中がいないか、裏通りの奥の奥まで――」
ロイ　「で、なにを食った」
ハボック「カマかけっすか？　買い食いなんかしてませんて」
リザ　「アゴのところにまだ付いてるのは何？」
ハボック「げ、嘘ッ」

　ハボック、軍服の袖でゴシゴシと口もとを拭う――が

ハボック「……あ！」
ロイ　「協力を感謝する、中尉」
リザ　「大佐をサポートするのが、わたしの仕事ですから」
ハボック「はは、ははは……。あ、あの、仕事もちゃんとした上で……」
ロイ　「よし、ハボック。外を歩きまわって疲れているだろう。特別に、屋内での簡単な仕事を振ってやる。この軍部官邸のトイレすべて掃除してこい。……ピカピカになるまで磨かせてやるぞ」
ハボック「（半泣き）わーい、うれしいなあ」
ロイ　「ちなみに、掃除用具の使用は禁じる」
ハボック「……アンタ、鬼だろ」

　と、また扉がバタンと開いてドルケンが入室してくる

ドルケン「（軽く咳払い）失礼します、マスタング大佐。これは、ご多忙の様子で」
ロイ　「ああ、おかげさまでね。ドルケン中佐」

　ドルケン、ロイたちに近づきながら、

ドルケン「耳が痛いですな。今回のように、祭典を狙ってテロ予告がだされるなどはじめてでして。我々バローナ管轄の者だけでは守り抜く自信がないのです。だが、マスタング大佐の指揮ならば大船に乗ったようなものです。」
ロイ　「なに、買いかぶりではないか？」
ドルケン「はっは！　ご謙遜を。なにせ、わたしより一回りも若くして大佐になられているおかただ。それ相応の手腕を見せていただけると期待してますよ。ぜひ、この凡人めにご指導くだされ。はっはっは！」

　ドルケン、退室していき、扉の閉まる音

ハボック「……あ、出てった……（小声）なにしに来たんすかね？　ドルケン中佐」
ロイ　「（軽い吐息）もちろん、皮肉をいいにだ」
＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋＋

the characters are: roy, havock, riza and someone called doruken(?)

Mwah, I'm back. I've missed like 20 pages.
I'll have to go back and look through all the pages.
Welcome new people!! Not sure who's new yet.
I'm having drawing block. I want to draw a fanart so bad.

10 MORE DAYS TILL NEW CHAPTER!!!! MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Trying to read japanese gives me a headache... I'm not very good at it. Can you translate?

Yes, translations would be good.


thats why i don't like him with an eyepatch.

@Tombow - Yes Yes Yes!

@ MeLRizA - Mostly cause his hair was longer. XD Still looks smexy though.

*In attempt to write Royai oneshot by the 11* *not doing so well*


*Goes back to her little hobble hole*

Darn, I've missed a lot of pages. X_x


Anybody else thing we need a new thread? This thread is so huge now it's hard to find anything, and it gets bigger everyday.

MeLRizA, that is a really hot picture of Roy x3. I'm not even a Roy fangirl and I'm swooning at it.

^^ I don't know... I think it's kinda cool that it's this big Can't we just make it to 500? I like that number (for an odd reason)

@ Azura: I'm glad you're not doing Corporal Mustang. Whenever I think of him that way, I feel sad and angry *insert damn you Bones! rampage here* I feel really shallow, but I prefere Roy with two eyes.
I hope you can post some pictures of your cosplay! I really wanna see

@ tsunade: Nice! I hope you'll finish it in time!

@ Valérie: Good luck judging!

@ paca: I don't even have japanese installed on my comp, so all I get is blocks.

About anime-cons; I'm actually going to my first one ever this weekend! I'm really curious, since I've never been to any conventions what so ever.

Yeah.. i kind of like that it's big.. it is hard to finid things, but the bigness sort of makes it cool. plus i always say something about how long the thread is in my welcome speach. taking that out shortenes it.
Exactly my view on corporal Mustang as well... bones should be shot ( i guess i shouldn't hate them too much.. they did ok...)

I still havent been to an anime-con. i feel so left out. i really want to go to one with my friend.. but i don't know where any good one would be. (and for some reason imalways scared i'll run into complete idiots who have no idea what they are talking about.

Don't feel bad Nil-chan, I haven't been to one either.
Corporal Mustang=Depression, which=DEATH TO BONES!!
@Azura- Yes, do post pictures.
@MeLRizA- I went back and dug around for your Roy pic. Very Sexy!
That should be a new look for him.

Royai day is the eleventh?!

@Nil-chan & Blue_Haven I have never been to an anime con. eather. I would love to go to one sometime but I only know of one in my area but it's alreay past! Next year thou I'm going to go! I'll ask all my friends from Japanese class to go with me. It's gona be sweet! next year...

@Blue_Haven Yes Royai Day is on the 11th. For compleatly random, because I said so, reason.

@paca I don't have Japanese instaled on my computer, because my dad thinks it would get rid of English so all I get out of that post is rorororo roro rororo roro ro.....Ro rororo.

At least Japanese characters arent in boxes on my computer anymore...

Gee, g0t tranlations?

Well hopefully someone with translation skills *stares at Tombow* will do that for us.

*goes back to hole and tries a fanart for the 11th*

EDIT: Hopefully, the next chappie of the manga will come on the 11th FULL OF ROYAI GOODNESS!! w00t.

@ paca
That was some translation.. I'll need to learn japanese seriously now.. All I can read was some katakana/hiragana words but not understand them.. (=_=)">


WELCOME BACK~ Yeah~~!! 10 more days to happiness and doom *EXAMS*


LOLx.. your posts made my fingers twitch to post evil, curse-ful, vengeful ugly things about BONES again.. I mean, yeah.. I'd better not.. Anyway, Roy's still SMEXY in either way ^^= My desktop picture is a screencap of Roy in the hot-air balloon from the movie..
I really wanna go to anime con, there was one about 1-2 years ago, but I went back to my home country.. and I didn't know about it until a couple of weeks after I returned.. I really wanna do a cosplay but my sewing sucks! Tailoring the costume really costs here..

@ Tsunade-chan, Sommoner Colette, Blue_Haven
Thank you sooo much, guyz.. *BIG huggiez* Really, I'm beginning to flirt with this Roy of mine.. =p Really, I wasn't expecting such overwhelming comments!! XD

Alright, I'll do another Royai piccie after revision.. and put it up on 11June

EDIT :
@ Jelly_Belly
I almost forgot!! Your new siggie.. Its just AWESOME.. it took my breath away~ *sigh* How.. SMEXY!! I LOVE IT~

I don`t know if you ask me too but I have to say this:
Yay no eyepatch. !!!
I didn`t write yesterday so after read , i don`t know 3 pages (my memory ) I`m glad you wont use the eyepatch for all the reason the others said .

I went on a Anime Convention , it was in my ex-school on 20th and 21st of May, It`s call "Mugen Yukai".And they come every year since 2003. But the only bad thing is that I`m alone , no one I know like Japanesse Culture or Anime or Manga . But still I`ve got fun. and too bad for them, they don`t know what are they missing of.

MeLRizA
Thx, fullimage i will attach.

EDIT: Page 444....does anyone know how lucky this number is in Chinese?! Eeeek! Something bads gonna happen to this thread now *jumps*

^Thanks soooo much!! *glopmz* Roy is sooo smexy, just like my CoverMan!! <- I keep linking everyone to this pic, I just can't help it Roy's ttoooooo SEXY!

Yups.. 444 rhymes to "die, die, die" in chinese.. We'd better flood this page to get rid of the bad luck!! QUICK Most chinese are pretty terrified of this number, especially my grandmother.. XP

Don't worry, lets pray that something bad won't happen to everyone and in chapter 60, Roy/Riza won't have to *beep* <-- a taboo word under this thread

@ MeLRizA - Looking for a hot wallpaper with your coverman in it? I found this one on the internet. I love it ^^


I like those 'bad' numbers. I'm not superstitious at all Same with the number thirteen: I like it. There has never happened something bad to me or someone I know at XD

What about the 666 that's fast approaching lol

Well I'm going to be disappearing in an hour, but I shall return with lots of photos and merchandise *drools*

See you all in 5 days!

Leaving until Monday! I'll get some more stuff ready!

hi I heve never been to an anime-co. Here in my country , there is only one of this things and it is really sad (rubishhh!!)
-----

about translation .... I have asked a friend of mine to "translate" it..... well she surely can pass it to romanji and translate a few words .....
Anyone who would like to translete it ... welcome.... help us to understand the japanese!!

^^ Thanks paca for posting that drama scene!! I can sure try translating it later tonight.

And, no, I haven't been to any anim/manga conventions nither.

@Hyugafalcon, Azura Elric, and anyone who might be taking a quick break - Please don't forget to come back.. Hope you allhave great time, and see you then!!

Counting down days till chapter 60 comes out!!

How many days is that?

I read chapter 59 a few days ago.

AHhhhhhh~~~~~~ *pulls hair out*
I wish I lived in Japan, and understood Japanese. Hell, I wish I was raised in Japan like Paku Romi (which by the way is a fellow Korean ) But too bad I don't understand Japanese, and that I live in the U.S. -which rocks too- and understand three other completely useless for manga, languages.

I have no idea what caused that rant.....

@ Jelly_Belly: OMG! AHhh! i love your thumbnail~~~~ lol. He's so sCHMExY glOmpAblE!!!! like MeLRizA's coverman!

-windxalchemist-

@Jelly_Belly: Aw... poor Roy has a cane! That's depressing... but still smexy

@paca:... you'll have to help me here... please...

I only reconise the character names .
I know that havock laughts. he also introduces himself ( no don't why)
Riza says "colonel mustangu (taisa)" (how strange! -ironic-)
Roy says lt. hawkeye.

and here a few lines ( not complete ) they are not in orden!)
リザ　「おつかれのようですね、マスタング大佐」
riza “otsukare no youdesune, coronel mustangu”
ロイ　「ああ、ホークアイ中尉か。軍人などなるものではないと痛感しているところさ」
roy “aa , lt.hawkeye. …(blablabla).”
(that two were the first and second line)
ロイ　「わかった、引き続きたのむ。」
roy “ I understand, (and blablabla)"
ロイ　「ふぅ――…」
roy “ fuuuuuuu..”
ハボック「（やや遠め）ジャン・ハボック少尉、外回りより戻りました～」
havock “second lt. jean havock”
　(like i have said he is introducing hiself)
ハボック「……あ！」
havock “ah!”
ハボック「はは、ははは……。あ、あの、仕事もちゃんとした上で……」
havock “jajajajajajajjajaja. .......(he says something else)"

Nice translation paca! Lolz. Yeah chinese seem to fear this number (that's me). 888 seems to be our lucky number...my mum has it on her number plate When I get a car, Im gonna do that.

By the way, paca ever thought of putting it through a translator on the net? Mind if I do?

EDIT: ...dont worry *dies*

I didn't put it in an on-line translation only because I didn't know one. If you or somebody want to translete it.. go on ... I will be very happy

You know Jelly_Belly your Roy picture screams "PH34R MY CANE!" *runs away giggling*
.
.
.

*Finished the oneshot sent it to the beta*


*waiting for reply*

Here is first half of the translations for that passage paca has posted on page 443, post #6633:
(My usual disclaimer applies: This is my interpretation of the passage, and includes non-literal translations. As such, alternate translations and further informations are always welcome.
I may yet to change some of the wordings later. Please do not repost untill final translations are posted.)

ETA: I moved and merged the translations for the first half with the rest of translations.
Please see my post on page 446, post #6690.

"I cant imagine the Colonel as anything else"

sdjhfksjgsdglk! *ded* Tombow ownz my soul. (most of it)

>Tsunade-chan
PH34R ROY'S CANE OF DOOM! *smack*
Finish your oneshot! *smack*

EDIT: No more 444! ke!

Hello Ice Blizzard~

wow MelRizA! Ah! In love with your pics~

How should I propose to her?
lol.... hehehe, okay, so that's not what it really is, but a fangirl can dream, right?

-windxalchemist-

Thank you^^.. I wonder if someone can make an icon using that picture with those words.. I'll use it!! =p

@ Tombow
Thank you for those translations I eventually understood what's going on.. You ROCKZZ!!

@ Jelly_Belly
I forgot to mention how depressing it is to see Roy with a cane.. He looks so vulnerable.. *sobs..*

I would be away for a study week, but will still be checking on you guys during breaks My semestral exams are really killing me.. Anyway, I'll make sure to make an appearance on June11, certainly an EXTREMELY important day not to be missed!!

Can I ask you something?
Is the text that Tombow translated a Fanfiction?or is it somethig else?
Sorry if I bother you . I really , really have to practice english.

^^ @55th_animalalchemist - According to paca who'd posted that in Japanese, it's a transcript of FMA audio drama, that's played by Japanese voice actors of FMA.

@ Tombow - Thanks for translating! It's very short, but I liked it!

@ Windxalchemist - That line fits perfectly with that picture! It's so cute ^^

@ MeLRizA - Good luck on all your exams! Yeah, I'm looking forward to june 11th

^^ I'll translate the latter half of the passage later.

@MeLRizA - I love your coverman Roy!! Good luck with your exam!!

@windxalchemist - That pic is lovely!! Oh, and the next FMA manga chapter should come out around 12th in Japan, and hopefully, we'll see it on-line somewhere around there, too!

@Jelly_Belly - I kind of like that particular Roy with cane pic!! Roy looks hot!!


OT: Happy Birthday, Maianarisa!!
See, here is more reason you should post on this thread more often!!

@tombow: thanks for the translations!!!!!!!!!!! thanks, and thanks!

Vulnerable? He oughta` smack you with that cane!

Exams... Those are coming up for me too. Bleh. Good luck!

I like RoyxRiza, but I'm more of an EnvyxLust fan, as you might already know. But personally I like any pairing besides yaoi or yuri. RoyxRiza is my third most favorite on my list of pairings. RoyxRiza forever!

@Kittygirl: Hey, it's nice to see you here finally! *ahem*Welcome to the awesomeness that is the extremely-active-now-four-hundred-and-forty-pages-long-most-awesome-forum-of -all-time-of-all-the-royai-lovers-who-are-so-much-cooler-than-everyone-else Royai Thread! Hope you enjoy your stay, the people are all awesome and welcoming, and we have much fun times here.

OT: Can i be the official greeter-of-the-royai-thread-who-says-to-much-in-one-breath-to- awesome-newcomers?

@Tombow: *hugs* Thankyou! go you and your awesome japanese skills! i don't know what i'd do without you!

*gasp* Jelly_Belly, i thought i owned your soul! Oh well...

@Everyone with exams: I know what you're going through...
