Best gift EVAR! XD

First off, a hearty THANK YOU to Desu for hosting--this was a relatively hassle-free PC, and I must say that I thought it was a great success! Your place allowed for lots of space, comfort, and animals galore! Definitely exceeded all my expectations! :D

Now, to the topic of the post...I really must commend Twill and Nyx for the story--what a fantastic surprise!! I was honestly super excited to start reading it, and that's exactly what I did as soon as I got home! Bar none, I think this is the most creative, thoughtful, and just plain cool gift I've ever received! :)

The writing's hilarious, and I think you've got some very good observations and mannerisms for each of our characters! There were so many brilliant, little moments, tiny snatches of detail that really got a reaction from me (usually a hearty lol). Let me list a few, for my enthusiasm's sake:

-what a bystander would've done in a typical action hero to assist a hero, but no, I don't know that because I "prefer alternative cinema"
-the audience at Scorpio's performance--men with monocles!
-all of Rubin's sections--the Cups thing was ridiculously funny, and the random organic chemistry!
-OB clinging, starving, and exclaiming, "Spray away!" with the perfume called "Come Hither" (can't think of a better perfume title to relate to her)
-Desu's comments when she's experimenting with the origami were great, and little peaks into her family's dynamics were wonderful (the hoarding books, for example--that is so like most parents!)
-Nyx thinking of mauling a nature photographer!
-Starwing being the supernatural one--totally the one most tuned in with the mystical!
-Melody's characterization was spot on (especially the "Just kidding!")
-Kris's very random encounter and story with the rolling dude--so random and borderline absurd, perfect!
-Twill's gushing enthusiasm for superheroes, and Greek things!
-Cross's weird habits--checking in on her salad was genius!

And as a note--NO, I didn't know a lot of people in high school!! :P But yes, random people do comment on my name, haha.

Twill, I hope it wasn't modesty that prevented you from having your own glorious origins section! I was really looking forward to when you develop / discover your own powers, especially as the primary writer of the story! I'm glad Bei got fantastic segments, as co-creator and helper. :)

Can't say enough great things about this. Thanks for the laugh--it was all very heartwarming!
