Chibi Sora, Riku and Kairi sketch

2012/07/10 0 comments

More Kingdom Hearts goodness! This was done as a point commission on DeviantArt. Points, on that site, allow us to buy prints and merchandise.

This drawing features chibis, which are super-deformed anime versions of people. The term chibi (Jap. ちび) means "short person" or "small child"

This drawing features the three main characters from the Kingdom Hearts series - Sora, Riku and Kairi. The three of them are garbed in their original outfits from the first game.

WANT.

The person who owns this picture on DA created this sea-salt ice-cream necklace all by herself. Apparently she still has the original. Regardless of whether or not she does have the original, I would really love to snag this. This chain can stand out against yellow (and would look totally kawaii ^_^), and I’m actually wearing yellow as I write this post. I haven’t had a bit of Kingdom Hearts merchandise, even fanmade, apart from the games themselves. This thing is $16 (about £10), and considering how big and chunky this is, and how much effort has been put into it (seriously, check this girl out; all her works are AWESOME!), I’d say it’s worth getting.

I imagine I’d be able to find uses for this. Summer is here, and this is really, really gonna stand out. Also, with the new song I’ve just finished sequencing on FL (which actually screams kawaii desu), this thing is going to be a statement.

But I’m restraining myself from spending first. I need a job.

A new drawing is done!

I had thought of this wallpaper/background idea yesterday evening, and started doing it — it took me four to five hours in total, but it’s finally done…

Presenting… Terra’s, Aqua’s and VentusWayfinders from Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep! Well, it’s actually in the order of Terra’s, Ventus’ and Aqua’s.

And with the exception of the background colours, which were edited by Erry, I did not use Photoshop. The software at hand were PowerPoint, GIMP and Paint, and so I had to use those to the best of my ability.

This post is up because I told a few friends — notably Phil — that I’d let them see the finished drawing. I’m quite pleased with how it turned out, considering I’ve only recently begun to draw decently, though over time, I may experiment with more textures and make them more realistic than ever.

This drawing began on Friday, and ended either on Saturday night or Sunday morning — I forget. And since I took about four to five hours, there were breaks in between. Long breaks.

So here’s how it went, from start to end:

 

1. A Wayfinder fragment, drawn on Paint.

2. The Wayfinder base. This was done on PowerPoint — by making the white parts of the Wayfinder fragment transparent, and then copying, pasting and rotating.

3. A base with three Wayfinders. Still on PowerPoint, I copied/pasted the single Wayfinder base thrice, then used 3D Rotation to give different angles to each one.

4. I opened Microsoft Paint (I’m on Windows 7, in case you ask) and I coloured them in with an oil brush.

5. I salvaged some Mark of Mastery pictures I made on Paint some time ago (for archive images on Kingdom Hearts Wiki), made the white bits transparent for the Wayfinders on PowerPoint, edited the colours/contrast on the Marks of Mastery on Microsoft Office Picture Manager, superimposed them onto the Wayfinders, grouped them and saved them (on PowerPoint).

6. Still on PowerPoint, I added a Paint Brush effect to the coloured Wayfinders.

7. I smoothened out the colours on GIMP and began to bore holes in the metal parts, for the strings. The Wayfinders now look cartoony.

8. To make them less cartoony, I redid the Paint Brush effect on PowerPoint, and gave them a second edit over on GIMP.

9. Then, on GIMP, I made a background, with orange for the foreground and blue for the background, and I made it a HSV gradient, and I gave it a bit of texture —

but, as you can see, it's too bright.

10. Then I passed it to Erry, who darkened the background on Photoshop:

Just the timbre I needed! Thanks, Erry!

11. Added bokeh and minimal glitter on GIMP.

12. Copied/pasted the supposedly finished Wayfinders onto the BG. So on GIMP, this file had two layers. This was to be the wallpaper base.

13. Added glitter, softlighted some edges of the Wayfinders so that they’d glow (both on GIMP), and added strings on Paint. Reopened GIMP and gave the strings a bit more detail, so that at full download size it wouldn’t look unrealistic.

Before I added the strings I showed Unbirth the picture, and he noticed that the Wayfinders were opaque, although they were made of glass. So he advised me to make the glass a bit more translucent.

14. Erased a bit of colour from the glass parts of the Wayfinders, and there you have the finished picture:

Hertfordshire’s Got Talent and Volunteer Recognition Evening…

2011/05/10 0 comments
…among other things.

Today, at noon, registration for Hertfordshire’s Got Talent began in the Forum. My exam ended at 12:30, and I decided to pay a visit to the Forum to see what it was all about. But for the same reasons I was discouraged from participating in Britain’s Got Talent, I did not participate in the university-level competition.

Yes, it did deal enough damage to make me cry, but for the sake of some people who do not yet believe in what I can do, I refrained from participating and tried to become a good bystander instead.

The competition proper began at 1-something, and the results were announced at close to 4:00 p.m. I had my PC and cameras ready, and I did not want to miss an opportunity to take videos and pictures.

Pictures




The Auditorium, before it all began. The stage lights were enticing. Everything about the audition round was well done.




The judges settling down before the first contestant arrived on stage.



Some participants.

Videos
When it all began.

The first act.

The second act, and the first of the commendable ones.

One of my new friends, Corine, performing. You go, girl! ^_^

My second new friend, Saman, doing a Bollywood dance. Now truth be told, I haven’t seen a Bollywood dance in a long time. And this is coming from a person who isn’t a fan of Bollywood!

The results announcement. The shortlisted candidates get to the semifinals on the 3rd of September. And…… I believe my commentary should drive a point home.

I came back from the Forum, happy with the results, and happy that the good acts were indeed shortlisted… and when I got back home, I wept.

I wanted to sing, I wanted to imagine myself on stage, but I felt like I was being suppressed. Suppressed by the intentions of others. Maybe time will tell.

————————————————————————————————————————
It seems like this week is a week without much rest for me. For starters…

I FINALLY HAVE KINGDOM HEARTS BIRTH BY SLEEP! THANK YOU JAMES!
Coeur rouge

Yes, the long-awaited wait for the prequel to the first Kingdom Hearts is over. I have to wait for my other parcel to come — and it’s a gift from a friend — a PSP!

Oh and… there’s also the lunch with my mates from the chaplaincy tomorrow, and Volunteer Recognition Evening coming up on Thursday. VRE is an annual awards ceremony held by the UHSU for people who have been enthusiastic in their volunteering work. All the Soapbox bloggers get to go for free, and we’ll all be receiving certificates for our efforts and… we’ll be meeting the Vice Chancellor… and it’s all gonna be in the Forum! I can’t wait! ^_^



I found this notice on one of the doors in the Student Union headquarters.

More coming from me very soon!

I know what you did in ASDA today, Troisnyx...

2011/01/11 0 comments
No, this is not a title for a horror film, but rather, what I saw before and during my shopping trip.

But first, I must tell you about the new addition my flatmates brought into the kitchen (even I ended up using it) :

Fridge magnets ! ^_^




The other friends in my flat had their fridges done up before mine was, so with the remaining magnets I tried to see what I could make. There was no TNE for "TroisNyxEtienne", so I ended up with 3NE. "3" is read "trois" (read : trwa) in French.



So after a light breakfast I went to ASDA to get the groceries, and just after I had put a few things into the shopping basket, I stopped by the media section. I was looking among the PS3, Wii, DS and PSP columns to see if there was anything familiar, and guess what I found :



Patapon 2 ! Going for almost £11 ! (THAT IS A STEAL !) In case you haven't the faintest idea of what Patapon is, it's a rhythm/strategy game where the beat of your drums influences what an entire tribe of warriors does. You can get them to advance, attack, increase their attack/defence, or if all else fails, retreat.


Oh, and what made me even more excited was......





It was going for around £22 when I checked the price at ASDA, and I was tempted to get my hands on it. But then reality struck : I needed a PSP, and I needed to check the price. A brand new DS in HMV cost around £48 towards Christmas - I imagine the VAT increase would've caused its price to go up as well. Before I even think of getting Birth by Sleep, or even Patapon, I need a PSP.

But holding Birth by Sleep in my hand for those few moments really made me excited. I felt the same when I found that Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days was still on sale in HMV.

In three days, Kingdom Hearts re:coded is going to reach European shores. Today, re:coded is released in North America and Canada. I wouldn't be able to imagine what would happen when that game comes out. I imagine I'd get a DS, Days and re:coded just to celebrate the occasion. Maybe.

Halloween wallpapers, Kingdom Hearts-style

Well, at the moment I only have two, and I'm using these at the moment. The motif here is Sora's face mask as seen in Kingdom Hearts Mobile.




Modifications to the face mask were done on PowerPoint. The mask itself was cropped out using GIMP. I wanted it to be subtle, though I'm not sure if it works...

There's a Disney store ! In Cambridge ! Just look at the cosplays and merchandise !

Now my sole request for Disney stores would be for them to provide Kingdom Hearts merchandise.

Kingdom Hearts Wiki’s Twitter is up !

2010/09/08 0 comments


Be sure to follow us here.



And whilst I’m at it, I even created provisory backgrounds to celebrate Kingdom Hearts Re:coded. That is to say, once it releases, of course. I used a template similar to that of the Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep background which is on the Twitter page.
 
TwitterBGRECBlack
Normal version.

TwitterBGRECSoftglow
Softglow version.

Thing is, I have another idea for the Re:coded BGs, but I’m not sure where to find translucent squares. Like the ones you see on the Re:coded wallpapers. If I use the squares, I’d fit with the theme a lot better. The circular bokeh bits remind me of Birth by Sleep’s introduction and this current BG needs to be distinct from the previous one, whilst still keeping to the theme. Anyone can tell me where to find them ?
Or perhaps I’ll scour DeviantArt tonight and see if there’s anything worth searching.

Will Kingdom Hearts Wiki get a Twitter page of its own ?

2010/09/07 0 comments
That's what we'd like to find out ! It all started when Bluerfn and I discussed this on Twitter. Imagine, I was so gung-ho about the whole idea that I practically pinged all of Kingdom Hearts Wiki ! The people at Kingdom Hearts Francophone Wiki are yet to know about this. Fine, so not many of us have Twitter pages. But it's a step forward, I believe, either way ! Users will start getting used to the tweets ; followers will come and edit on the wikis. That's what we want our ultimate result to be.


Meanwhile, whilst watching over the forums waiting for responses, I've started developing backgrounds, in case the occasion arises and we need to start a page.


Normal version.


Heavy softglow version.



I did both backgrounds whilst thinking of, and ultimately listening to, Precious Stars in the Sky from the first Kingdom Hearts.
I love etoillic ambiences. Another drawing I did some time back also featured sparkles and stuff like that ; I also listened to another starry Kingdom Hearts song.

Maybe I'll call for more ideas. But that depends on the feedback.

Meanwhile, Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep is released in stores today, and I'd like to see what the English version has to offer. Apparently there's an in-built French version for Canadian gamers, though I'd like to see if this really is the case.

Le tout nouveau Microsoft Paint pour Windows 7, mis à l’épreuve

2010/08/31 0 comments

J’ai fait tout ça AVEC UNE SOURIS.
Et ça ne m’a pris que 10 minutes.

Le tout nouveau Microsoft Paint pour Windows 7 est claaaaaaaaaaaaaasse ^_^ Peut-être ça a déjà existé depuis l’introduction de Windows Vista – je n’en sais rien – mais aujourd’hui c’est la première fois que j’essaie le nouveau Paint. Disons que c’est un peu comme peindre dans la vie réelle – mais les modifs peuvent toujours être révoquées. C’est pas du tout comme Photoshop ou des logiciels plus avancés, mais c’est charmant quand même. : )

The day draws closer.

À ton réveil, n’oublie pas – garde bien ton rêve en toi…

2010/08/24 2 comments
Respire. Transpire. Aspire. Inspire.


J’ai découvert que je ne respire pas très bien. Je suis souvent sur les nerfs, souvent timide, lorsque je joue de la batterie, et souvent, je fais des erreurs et mon jeu de batterie est très agité (les trois dernières vidéos sur YouTube en sont une preuve). J’arrive surtout pas à me calmer…


Tout commence par le fait que j’ai peur de jouer devant ma famille. Surtout avec le fait que c’est ma famille qui m’a donné la moindre remarque, au lieu de me supporter, tant que j’ai commencé à jouer.


Dès le début je me suis dite que la passion se manifeste, sans doute, mais le talent reste caché, quelque part en moi. Il y a deux ans, quelque temps avant la mort de ma mère, ma mère m’avait dit qu’elle voit l’immense passion, mais elle ne trouve pas de talent en moi. J’ai voulu lui montrer que j’ai au moins un peu de talent. J’ai voulu faire mon premier solo de batterie devant elle, j’ai voulu la ravir. Je ne sais pas si je lui ai parlé de cette intention. En tout cas elle m’a dit qu’elle voulait me donner des bonnes baguettes (des Vic Firths en plus !). Ça, c’était entre avril et mai 2008, quelque temps après avoir reçu ma batterie. Malheureusement, deux ans de suite, ces intentions, ces rêves restent irréalisés. Il me semble que ces intentions sont irréalisables…… Parce que fin mai 2008, ma mère était hospitalisée ; fin août 2008, sa vie s’achevait.


Tant qu’elle était à l’hôpital, tant qu’elle souffrait, je m’entraînais jour après jour, tant de fois que possible, avec l’espoir qu’elle me verrait à son retour. Je lui ai même dit que j’étais en train de m’entraîner, et je lui ai même raconté mes espoirs. Lors de l’une de ces sessions, mon père m’a vraiment déçue – je ne veux plus mentionner ce qu’il a dit lorsque je me suis entraînée. Je n’avais pas le courage de raconter ça à ma mère. Je ne voulais que lui parler des choses plus ravissantes.

 
Quelques jours après sa mort, j’ai essayé de parler à mes amis. J’avais du mal à leur raconter tout ce que je ressentais. J’avais pas le courage de faire n’importe quoi, à part rester sur mon ordinateur et écrire. Un ami m’a dit, - Joue de ta batterie, même si tu ne fais que commencer. Montre au monde entier tes sentiments pour elle en ce moment.

Me voit-elle, là où elle est ? Ou est-ce qu’elle dort en attendant le jour où elle se réveillera ?

Je souhaite trouver mon rythme, trouver mon équilibre… Je désire jouer avec la même passion qui se manifeste lorsque j’écoute un rythme, voire même lorsque j’en parle, lorsque j’en écirs. Je réalise que ça vient avec le temps, et je commence à me demander si je peux m’entraîner, si je peux être guidée, lors de mes deux ans à Hertfordshire. Mais malgré tout, je garde espoir, je retiens encore ce rêve de bien jouer, d’émouvoir les autres, de ravir tous ceux qui sont pour moi et ma cause.


À part ça j’ai une raison à sourire – je suis devenue administratrice sur le wiki Kingdom Hearts anglophone !
Merci à tous mes amis de KHEN pour l’élection – et même si je ne peux pas célébrer cette élection, je dois dire que c’est… pas quelque chose que j’ai attendu trop… Bon de quoi je parle ? Enfin merci !

ENSEMBLE DEPUIS LE 1ER MARS 2009


Il était une fois une série de pages sans personne à modifier, sauf un fondateur (tyrannique ?) qui travaillait durement pour un mois.

Puis un mois après la création de ce site, une exubérante jeune fille est venue en aide.

Tout commençait par une pétition.


Maintenant notre bébé notre projet a grandi. : )

He had it coming !

2010/08/15 0 comments
J’étais sur le wiki Kingdom Hearts, en train de voir les modifications récentes – quand j’ai vu quelqu’un en train d’harceler mon ami. Je lui ai immédiatement laissé un message sur sa page de discussion – et je l’ai bloqué.

J’ignore pourquoi, mais cette action de bloquer des utilisateurs peuvent être comparée à un finish. Ou un coup de grâce, pour le rendre en français. :P Quand je bloque quelqu’un, j’ai toujours l’impression que je vais devoir commettre un meurtre justifiée. Sur le wiki, il n’y a que trois personnes qui peuvent bloquer ou bannir d’autres utilisateurs. Ils ont « reçu des armes », on dirait. Et ils sauvent l’utiliser.

Le titre de cet article, « He had it coming » (littéralement : Il l’a voulu), fait référence à la chanson Cell Block Tango, où les quatre premiers mots font partie du titre.

Faites donc l’assomption que les trois administrateurs du wiki Kingdom Hearts sont des gardiens, des protecteurs de la communauté.




Le premier gardien, celui qui a créé le wiki, décapite instantanément son adversaire en sabrant le cou. Cependant, il ne tue pas assez régulièrement, et il laisse les deux autres gardiens faire le travail sanglant tant qu’il erre sur les modifications récentes. Il peut être impitoyable au besoin, et les deux autres gardiens réalisent ça.


La deuxième gardienne (c’est la seule fille entre les trois) agit après avoir averti son adversaire. Premier avertissement : elle regarde l’adversaire avec un air de mépris. Deuxième avertissement : son visage rougit. Troisième avertissement : elle saisit l’adversaire au col… et à l’aide de sa puissante épée, transperce son cœur.

Le troisième gardien, le cadet, immobilise son adversaire et le fait tomber – et ensuite, il lui tranche la gorge. La manière dont il tue est très efficace, et parfois on croit qu’il est un peu trop sévère. Il croit que c’est pour le bien, et même si on peut avoir pitié pour l’adversaire, ça ne dure pas longtemps.

My first fandub

2010/08/04 0 comments


Since Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep is never going to come out with French voices, ever imagined what Zack Fair and Aqua would sound like in French ?

Zack Fair is voiced by Monou, a new player in the fandubbing scene (URL not available, because I really don't know where his site is, if he has one). One of my KHFrancophone friends introduced me to him. I received his lines first, then worked on my own, then split the audio and the background music for the video. And as you can guess, I'm voicing Aqua.

The lines, along with the translation, are as follows :

Zack : Hadès... La prochaine fois, je le refroidis pour de bon, celui-là !
Zack : Hades... The next time, I'm going to chill him for good !


Zack : Parfait... Si on fêtait notre victoire?
Zack : Perfect (I'd have translated it as "Alright")... What do you say we celebrate our victory ?
Aqua : Hein. Mais on n'est pas du tout obligé !
Aqua : Huh. But we don't need to !

Zack : Hum… Et si tu sortais avec moi ?
Zack : Hm... And what if you went out with me ? (Proper English : What if I asked you out on a date ?)

Aqua : Quoi?! Mais je... Je dois poursuivre ma quête et en plus, je ne suis qu'une apprentie ! Moi... Je...
Aqua : What ?! But I... I have to pursue my quest and what's more, I'm only a trainee ! I.... I...

Zack : Tu marques un point. Moi aussi, je ne suis qu'un apprenti héros.
Zack : You've got a point. I'm only a "junior hero" too.

Aqua : Hein ?
Aqua : Huh ?

Zack : Hey, je n'ai qu’à devenir un héros ! Comme ça, on pourra sortir ensemble !
Zack : Hey, I only have to be a hero ! That way, we can go out together !

Aqua : Je… Mais je ne peux rien te promettre !
Aqua : I... but I can't promise you anything !

Zack : OK ! Maintenant que je me suis décidé, je vais bien me concentrer sur mon entrainement !
Zack : OK ! Now that I've decided, I'm gonna concentrate on my training !

What's cooking, you ask ?

This !


This is only half of the sketch. The person behind the drums is supposedly me, though it doesn't look half like me. I did the entire drum kit too. But I can only colour a few things at a time.

Regardless, I know my hands are being guided, when I'm colouring.
In truth, this is my first time doing creases on a shirt, as well as colouring cymbals. It's unimaginable, how everything turned out beautifully ! Praise the Lord ! I'm especially proud of the hi-hat (well, can't give a full preview for now, but from that angle, it's a perfect circle).

So here's how it goes : I have to hardlight every item with the item's colour and then add in a few shades. And when the bulk of the work is done, I have to softlight/hardlight the item. Now soft light is just a small glow, whilst hard light is that... zigzag thing you see on the cymbals. That is hard light.

And once the whole thing is done, I have to softlight the entire thing in blue, because as the tentative title of this work (Batterie Stellaire) suggests, the background is going to involve a starry-sky-kinda-thing.

The actual name, which I'm thinking of right now, is Spectacle Stellaire (I think you can figure that out for yourselves). And to keep with the theme, I'm listening to this while colouring the picture :




Yay for Kingdom Hearts original soundtrack.
I only have an idea of the final result in mind, and that's all I have for now. The rest takes divine guidance.

A final prayer for my friends

2010/06/29 0 comments
Dear Lord, I really want to thank you for everything that you've given unto me. Friends, family, meals on the table, a place to live… everything, Lord. Most of all, thank you for being with me and loving me.



Jesus, I have a feeling that I'm being taken for a slave. I don't know. I somehow get the impression that I'm a problem in my dad's eyes, in my family's eyes. Yet, I have managed to touch the hearts of my friends and lecturers. They have seen me as a joy to have around.



Maybe I should be away forever, for them to realise how much I tried to love them, despite the mistakes I've made.



Lord, I offer up to you my friends. Especially the ones whom I've been close with. No matter where they are, they've shared themselves with me, and I've done the same with them. They have lifted me up and you have given them to me, and I truly thank you for them. Lord, I'm glad to know that I have touched their hearts through song, through the things I did, sometimes even through the things I spoke… I know that throughout my time with them, I was myself. They waited for me to come, and they said hi to me and hugged me, took me in an embrace when I returned. And they said I was precious to them prior to me leaving National Service. Yet, the people at home were the ones who said that I was a burden to them, sheer nothing. These same people wept on the day I left for Miri.



Lord, I thank you that you have taken me in your embrace, that you have called me your own. Yes, Lord, you are a Father to me more than my biological father is. Forgive him, Lord, for his love is so conditional. He doesn't know the tears I'm crying, but you do. He doesn't know the friends whom you've sent to me, and he's not obliged to know. But you do, and you know each and everyone of them by name and by the measure of their hearts. I don't even complain about the people I have because the challenges of today are different, and he's not obliged to understand them. Lord, help me to come to a decision…


I trust in you, Lord, with all my heart. Let your will be done in me. I really need to pray about this. These are wonderful friends you've given me - the few that I keep in touch with, but they have shown me how it is to live, despite their faults themselves.



Lord, please give me the answer. I feel like leaving this place and going to a new place altogether. Yet, my heart feels moved by my friends… Particularly those who have been there for me. You've really blessed me, and I wonder if I'll ever feel the same if I'm there.


I love them, just as I love myself, and I've even thought of spilling unconditional love to those whom I find it hard to do so.


Please bless each and everyone of them, and bless my family too. True that they may not be providing me my bread and butter, but it doesn't matter to whom I show unconditional love, Lord. Yes, many people don't understand why it is that I'm able to love so much. It's because you're in me. Please, Lord, have mercy on me, because I have failed to live up to my dad's expectations despite the effort I put in, and have mercy on all those who have hurt me, especially my dad.


My heart, mind, memories, experiences, body, soul, it's all yours. Have your way in me, Lord. I am yours. I admit that I'm not ready to lose my friends, especially when you've given them to me to help me with life's challenges. They've helped me a lot more than my family has, especially when many of them are in the same situation as I am.


Please bless each and every one of the people who have been in my life, distant or close. I am aware that living in the past can be dangerous, and that I have to live in the present and look forward to the future. Jesus, in the case where I have to say goodbye to the people who have cherished me for who I am, let me always remember that you're the best friend that I can ever have, and that I'll remain with you forever. <3


I thank you so much for loving me.




Please especially bless the team on KHW and KHFR… The team that I've been very close with for the past one year. I feel sad terribly sad to leave them, and if you will it, I don’t wish to be apart from them. I've imagined ourselves together, somehow, and I want to show them your love… I want to continue to show them your love. I'm also aware that there's a whole new world waiting out there for me, when I go abroad, and there are people who need your love to be shown to them. Some of the people that I've worked with over there can really make my heart ache, and have done so even, but otherwise, you've given them to me as a rather wonderful gift.


Right now I can imagine how St Paul felt when he was about to leave his friends in Ephesus.




Lord, if it be your will, allow me to have a way to discuss with these close friends of mine. But if it should be that I can't speak to them anymore, your will be done, Lord. Take me to where you call me, and send me your Holy Spirit. I need you badly, from the bottom of my heart, I'm crying out, Jesus… please heal my wounds.

For you, friend.

It's an incomplete drawing, but still...




I thought of doing this when I first saw you dance. It was a bit hilarious. Nevertheless, it was a performance bound to make many a person applaud in appreciation. And the character you chose... well, he's fondly referred to as the Graceful Assassin. And a Graceful Assassin shouldn't just know how to attack gracefully ; I reckon he should be able to move gracefully as well.

これはあなたのためです, ガエル。

Commençons le feu de joie !

Vous réaliserez peut-être que parfois, sur les wikis, il y a des rageurs, des gens qui saccagent certaines pages… Ils agissent souvent vite et ils sont vraiment d’un ennui !

Bon, il n’y a pas très longtemps, un ami sur le wiki Kingdom Hearts m’a dit que si on parvient à bannir un de ces garnements, on doit célébrer avec un feu de joie.

Pour dire vrai, j’ai imaginé le feu de joie simplement parce que j’ai voulu célébrer avec des amis. Dans mes dessins, il n’y a pas de sorcellerie ; ce n’est qu’une simple fête de victoire avec tous les membres du wiki (même s’il y a un bûcher, un feu et une percussion, et même si on psalmodie). Bon aujourd’hui, on a enfin mis fin à un de ces garnements. Mes amis, si vous lisez cet article, vous savez ce que vous devez faire. On aura une fête virtuelle ! Trouvons du bois et de l’essence ! Moi, je m’entraînerai au tambour. :D (Bien sûr, je ne me réjouirais pas sur la perdition de quelqu’un d’autre dans la vraie vie…)

Voici les épisodes 1 à 4 de mon dessin sur le feu de joie. Regardez bien chacun de ces dessins.
Feu de joie ep1

Épisode 1 : On célébre l Gaël prend Thomas dans ses bras et lui demande ce qu’on ferait pour fêter notre victoire l Je lui dis de continuer avec son plan l Il me demande lequel ; je lui parle du feu de joie l Thomas en est enthousiaste, et il envisage la soirée du feu de joie l Unbirth n’est pas du tout d’accord, mais Thomas demande à tout le monde s’ils sont d’accord l Il paraît qu’on est tous d’accord l Gaël nous dit qu’il faut diviser le travail entre les amis ; je lui demande comment ça pourrait être possible l Dans la bouteille qu’il tient entre ses mains, il y a des feuilles, chacune ayant un travail écrit dessus. On prend une feuille et fait ce qui est écrit.
 
Feu de joie ep2

Épisode 2 : Tout le monde a pris des feuilles l Pour moi, c’est « Allumer le feu », pour Thomas, c’est « Trouver de l’essence », et pour Gaël, c’est « Trouver du bois »… Étant de l’élément des Fleurs, il n’est sûrement pas satisfait ! l Pour Unbirth, c’est « Psalmodier », et il est vraiment déçu… Moi, j’offre à échanger des jobs avec lui. l Gaël pleure en trouvant du bois… il n’aime surtout pas que ses précieux arbres soient détruits l Au même temps, je regarde ma feuille et je pleure, parce que je n’ai aucune idée de faire en sorte que tout le monde sera uni l Nam m’approche et me demande ce qu’il y a l Elle comprend que je dois psalmodier ; elle me dit de chanter avec le cœur l Elle me rassure que tout ira bien l Je regarde ma feuille encore une fois, et là, il y a du texte (que Gaël et moi avons discuté il n’y a pas très longtemps).


Feu de joie ep3
Épisode 3 : Je m’entraîne au tambour l Unbirth et Thomas viennent en beuglant mon nom ; je leur demande ce qu’il y a l Il paraît que les deux viennent de faire une expérience avec le feu : On a demandé à Thomas de trouver de l’essence, mais il a trouvé de l’Agent Chimique X l Unbirth a peur et demande à Thomas d’arrêter, vite fait l Pour effrayer Unbirth, Thomas crie dans son oreille l Unbirth rappelle Thomas qu’il peut le bloquer, tout administrateur qu’il est… l Tout à coup, Thomas remarque le feu, qui est violacé l Unbirth et Thomas admirent le feu, et Unbirth prie à Thomas de ne plus répéter ce qu’il vient de faire l Ils m’ont rendu joyeuse l Ils me demandent ce que je suis en train de faire pour la soirée, mais je rougis l (La suite, c’est à vous !)

Feu de joie ep4

Épisode 4 : Je change ma tenue pour la soirée l Unbirth est enthousiaste, et moi aussi je la suis l Gaël prépare le bûcher, et je crois que les coupables sont bien liés l Unbirth essaie de trouver du feu, mais il n’a pas d’idées… l Tout à coup, il effraie Simili, qui est de l’élément de feu, et quand ce dernier éternue… des flammes sortent de sa bouche ! l Thomas me fait signal de commencer, et je commence à battre de mon tambour l Tout le monde psalmodie avec moi, tant que Gaël jette des fleurs, tant que Simili fait chauffer le bûcher, « Ô feu sacré, source de lumière, brûle, grille ce fauteur de troubles » !

Donc voilà ce que j’ai fait pour l’instant. Sauf que maintenant, il me faut les dialogues. Les mots exacts. Je travaille le cinquième épisode, vu qu’on vient de bloquer un garnement… Et ça doit correspondre à notre situation actuelle.

Bon, faisons la fête, les gars !
