Depending on the time, I might be able to help w/ the translation.

Though I agree how the communication is currently working between Noriko and Kai/Ariadne. Let us know what Noriko says; she had hinted about moving out of safety concerns and it's quite exciting to know that she'll be in the States, however briefly.

(pita thanks for your heads-up on this thread)

Thank you for your info, and sorry for my misunderstanding about Ariadne.

Hi everyone,

I changed the subtitle for this post after hearing from Noriko. I asked her about inviting other people and she replied with, "The more the merrier, Pita! Smile

"

We are meeting tomorrow ( Tuesday, April 8 ) at 2:00 pm in San Francisco. If you think you can come, please PM me and I will tell you where.

I was this close to skipping my class and going! I really shouldn't though. Sad

Have lots of fun!

Ranger D, Ariock, and I met up about a quarter to two and hung out on Second Street, across from South Park, where we were to meet Noriko. We went into the park around 10 til 2 and walked around, all of us suspicious of everyone and everything. There are benches and a playground in the park, as well as a fenced off area that was another playground under construction.

There was a man taking pictures who had to be up to no good. There were signs all over for a "L O S T" dog named "M E L" that could be a KLOO. Or not.

We waited around next to the playground, in the middle of the park. At ten minutes past two, we were beginning to feel like suckers. We didn't really think we'd be left in the lurch, but one never knows for sure.

At 2:17 (yes, I looked at my phone), Ranger D spotted Noriko approaching from the east. She was wearing a red coat, blue jeans, and orange sneakers, with a black handbag and a small blue paper bag--the kind with rope handles. We met her on the path and she greeted me (pita!") and after introductions, she reached into the paper bag and took out a pair of goggles identical to Ariadne's, except for words written and scratched on them. On the right eye is "Stay Blind" and "Neopangea is near" is on the left eye. Then she took out a postcard that had both Japanese and English on it. She did her best to translate it into English for us, but it was difficult to follow.

She took one more thing from her blue bag, which were temporary tattoos of trovu la ringon perditan that Kai made to give to me for all you people who run training labyrinths in San Francisco! I asked her if we could see her tattoo. She pushed up her sleeve and showed it to us.

She asked if we knew someone who could translate the postcard for us. I took this opportunity to mention unagi and tell her he said hello (which made her smile), and that he'd like her to run a labyrinth in Japan. She said she came to California specifically to do that. (Sorry, unagi!)

I asked if she would be in San Francisco on April 20th (when we run a training labyrinth) and she said, no, she'd be in San Diego *cough*celina*cough* on that day.

She wanted to know what was going on with the worlds and the postcards and Ariock did his best to explain (Ranger D's video).

Ariock had made an origami of six cranes attached to each other in a circle, which he gave to her and she seemed to like.

We told her we think Theo is in San Francisco (that he had sent a postcard of Renata to Larissa that was mailed from SF) and she said that the envelope that contained the goggles and the postcard came from San Francisco as well. She asked us why we thought Theo was interfering. Ranger D said he could only speculate (see/hear video).

This was my first experience with an in-game character in the flesh. So awesome.

Pita first off I love your stories.

Second off I want one of those Tats.

Third off it sounds like it was utterly awesome.

Finally, can it be April 19 yet. >.<
