What chibi-Alex is holding is the object from the Jack of Spades. My brother and I were pondering said object after watching one of the Detective Conan movies (The Fourteenth Target -- it was released in English, if you're interested). Anyway, we looked it up, and found out that the strange object is supposed to be a spear. Go figure.
Oh, and I decided to make a rather strange watch on purpose. I just thought it looked cool that way (completely impractical, but cool). I guess it would make it easier to show other people the time, though.
patrickdevine:Grand Theft Auto: Used Books? Sounds good to me. They need more hookers around here. ~_^
ghostrunner: She was a teacher...
Peipei: Tristan might be more worried that she tends to get into trouble when she's with Alex. It is possible Alex still has a little crush, but the two of them have a more sibling/buddy relationship.
DAJB: Well, she didn't get where she is today by making wise decisions. ~_^ I don't write too many drafts of dialogue. I usually go over it in my head once or twice. However, I don't have as much in depth stuff as Shades -- mostly just quick exchanges and one-liners.
amanda: He didn't listen to Conrad, but maybe he will listen to Kaida. ;-) And I'm glad I pulled off the phonecall-from-school-principal look. Heh.
Tantz: Awe. Let the boy dream. XD
Warpedwenger: Thanks. Sometimes I draw better when I'm not trying... I should practice the phone thing, though, since they use phones fairly often.
I like Seiko's mischievous side, it seems that much more remarkable because she's a Miss Goody-Two-Shoes most of the time.
Keeping in mind the gambling metaphor has Seiko heard of the expression "Poker-face?"
Uh oh - Seiko should probably not be celebrating so soon. Although, gotta admit, she's so adorable when she's giddy ^.^ Adrenaline rush! I just adore Seiko.
