Thanks to the lovely somebody on my Facebook page whom I shall not call by name (I don't know your username, sorry) who posted a reminder for this on my wall earlier.

If the answers seem a bit lax, it's because I'm low on energy right now. I apologize.

xXx

Tir: I'm tired today. I don't want to.

Jowy: As am I, but...

Chris: We have to.

Hugo: First up is...

*someone suddenly jump down from the ceiling, good landing but accidentally stepped on hugo's foot hard*

Hugo: *bites back a shout of pain* ... F.4.7.3.

Well, i'm sorry for that Hugo... XD

Lazlo and Tir, how is it? After bungee jumping into the well? Is it fun? Perhaps I should drag on Hatsu or the others with me today! XD

Hatsu: Whoa, hold on!

Riou: I'm good without that, thanks...

Lazlo: *shudder* It was cold...

Jowy: May I stay here?

I planned on a normal appearance today, from the door. But there were too much fangirls outside there to safely enter here and then, I decided to sneak in, but i got myself chased by the security out there. I managed to fool them and here I am... XD

Hatsu: Yeah, they're here every day at eight. Sorry about that.

Oh, and here, for today's tasty treat! Indonesia's famous mackarel and squid spicy otah! XD

Lazlo: Fish...

Frey: Fish.

Hatsu: This...sounds delicious... not even going to lie, I'm convinced Indonesians are the best sort of Asian. You all are very friendly and the food...sounds so good...*drool*

Eh-hem, while enjoying them, this is my question

Special :

Hehehe, who is lack on drinking contest i dared you boys? And who managed to keep yourself conscious? And who did not even get dizzy or something, the strongest one? And the record of the bottles they choked down? XD

Sierra: Lazlo won at fourteen bottles of hard liquor. It was...fascinating, to say the least.

Chris: *sigh* Tir came second. He downed about six bottles of Kanakan wine. Honestly, I have no idea where all this booze even came from. Sierra almost managed the same, five and a half bottles was her record.

Hatsu: I threw my name onto the poll for the hell of it, and got one vote, but alas I am underage and could not take part. So fourth place in the contest goes to Riou.

Riou: So I got three bottles. Not bad, I guess. It was Leona's heavy stuff too.

Tir: Chris made it through one bottle. Then, Hugo and the Prince didn't even get half a bottle done before they were conked out. Jeez.

Frey: I'm not used to this sort of thing, okay?

Hugo: The same here. It's not like it's my fault.

Hatsu:

1. Wow! You're that tall?! You make myself feel so short! DX *less than 165 cm* What did you eat for making you so tall?

Hatsu: I'm taller than most people I know... all of my sisters and family members on my father's side have the height gene, so there wasn't really a whole lot I could do about it. I honestly want to be a little shorter... I just ate American food, I guess. I don't know.

2. What is your secret of making a humor fic? Please share it for me, if you want... XD

Hatsu: Honey, you don't need a secret. Your stories are funny enough on their own. I use my own, weird brand of personal humor, just do the same. I love your stories.

3. I'll keep reading on this fic and review it! XD *salutes*

Sierra:

1. If I can remember it correctly, you could transform yourself to a white bat? If yes, why a white bat?

Sierra: Well, why not? At some point in my life I realized, yes I am a vampire, and as such I am allowed to decide whether or not I wanted to follow through with certain stereotypes. I can change my form to several others, but that happens to be the one I prefer.

2. Pretend yourself as a queen. And you need a butler, a servant, a chef, a bodyguard, a punchbag, a maid, a prince/princess. Who would you pick in this room to fill on those jobs *Hatsu included*?

Tir: Yikes.

Riou: Uhh...

Hugo: This ought to be interesting.

Sierra: Ah, fascinating. Well, as a chef I'd certainly choose Tir. He's grown up learning how to cook things. Riou can't cook, and nobody else knows how to make anything.

Hatsu: I can make toast...and soup, and instant ramen and things...

Sierra: My servant shall be Riou. He fulfills that roll anyway, so it's fitting.

Riou: What?

Sierra: Lady Chris may be my bodyguard. It's more aesthetically pleasing that way.

Chris: Shall I be flattered? Or concerned?

Tir: With Sierra, it's probably within your best interest to be flattered.

Sierra: Hugo, you are my punch bag.

Hugo: ...Why me.

Sierra: Why not you, though?

Hatsu: So wait, you still need a butler, maid, and prince/princess.

Sierra: Yes I do. Lazlo is my butler.

Lazlo: ...Not so bad... I suppose...

Sierra: *observes Frey and Hatsu closely*

Frey: Whoa, hold on, what is that look for? Don't tell me you're undecided.

Tir: *laugh* She's undecided on which one of you gets to be the maid.

Sierra: It's a difficult decision.

Frey: ...you're serious. She's actually serious.

Sierra: Fine, I'll do things the traditional way. Hatsu, you're my maid and the Prince is...well, a prince. Are we happy?

Hatsu: *shrug* I'm good.

Frey: I will refrain from speaking...

3. Who looks 'delicious' in this room? And who you wouldn't bite and don't looks 'delicious' also in this room? *evil grin*

Sierra: Oh, they all do, with the exception of Tir. I don't know why.

Tir: Okay then.

4. Sorry I didn't ask you anything in my review before. You can bite on me if you want, but I won't be a vampire! I'm immune of vampire! XD *dark chuckles*

Sierra: Oh no, I'm perfectly fine.

Frey:

1. Do you hate Tir? O.o

Riou: I'd be surprised if he didn't.

Hugo: I'd be worried if he didn't.

Frey: Hate is such an intense word. Let's say I strongly dislike him instead.

Tir: Very strongly.

2. Don't hate me on asking about your... um... attire before... No one can blame you being born in a queendom and wearing a ski- no kilt... *could feel on your stare*

Frey: *sigh* The jokes are getting fairly old at this point.

3. Challa- sorry, a request. I request you on wearing your queen's knight's uniform for a chapter on next! So Tir would stop mocking on you for at least one chapter! XD

Frey: I don't see how it will help, but alright.

Tir: Not going to happen. I'll find other things.

4. Still, don't hate me, okay? *cries like a kid*

Frey: I don't hate you...

Hugo:

1. Sorry for stepped on your foot. does it still hurt? XD

Hugo: No, it's alright now.

2. There were four for tenkai on the room right now. If they want to propose Chris, what do you gonna do? XD

Hugo: That highly depends on who it is. But I probably wouldn't like it no matter who it is.

Chris: But, in the end, it's not really your decision to make.

Hugo: Yes, I'll admit that's true.

3. Still on the question, if Chris really pick one of them. Who at least you think suited Chris the best and don't?

Hugo: I think Riou or Frey suits her best, but like she said, it's not up to me.

Chris: No it isn't.

4. Challenge! Go to pissing of Geddoe! XD

Hugo: C-Could I step out of this one?

Chris:

1. You are good in combat, which tenkai in the room you would pick to get serious combat with you?

Chris: Lazlo, I suppose. His technique is fascinating.

Lazlo: Thank you. I would not hold back in that case.

2. Dare to fight on Sierra? XD

Chris: She has far more years of experience than I do. I believe she would beat me handily.

Sierra: Yes, I would.

3. The same question, you as the queen. XD

Chris: Actually, I think my answer is the same as Sierra's. Great minds think alike, I suppose.

Sierra: Hm. Yes, I suppose so.

Riou:

1. Dude, go to check on doctor for the sake of your poor tongue!

Riou: Why? It's not a big deal. Even if I can't taste, it's not I can't still eat.

Tir: That's the saddest thing I've ever heard. What's the point of eating if you can't enjoy it?

Riou: ...Getting fed? I need the energy, and all that.

2. Here! My challenge! *put a glass of super sour lemon mix lime juice, a bowl of famously super spicy chili sauce, a glass of bitterground juice*

Everyone, you must taste it too, just a little to make sure.

For the sake of your tongue, drink them one by one but all! ALL! Perhaps it would recover your taste bud!

Tir: I'm going to cheat and hold my nose while I do this.

Jowy: This is somehow worse than Nanami's cooking.

Riou: *gags* Even if I can't taste it, it still feels sour and hot and bitter, you know!

Hugo: Well...we know now...

3. Now, eat this! *give him a home made steak* any taste?

Riou: ...no.

Tir: Dammit, it failed.

Jowy:

Jowy! Get yourself here and now! *shouting to the entire building shaking*

Jowy: H-Hey! I'm right here!

1. Say, 'Aaaah...' *evil grin*

Jowy: I'm a little nervous about this, but...aaahhhh...

*put a piece of carrot in his mouth*

Jowy: GAAAAAAH! Why?!

Riou: Hehe.

2. Why do you hate carrots? They're delicious! XD

Jowy: I just don't! It's hard to explain why I don't like something.

Hatsu: I don't like them either.

Tir:

1. You enjoy of picking Frey, I know it. But, any reason? Do you angry on me to dared you all to switch costumes? O.o

Tir: No reason, other than he's just fun to pick on, really. And I wasn't angry, until...

Frey: Until he got a taste of his own medicine.

2. But, in fact, I enjoyed the moment you wore on Frey's attire... XD

Hugo: Yes, I think we all enjoyed that.

Jowy: I think I'm pretty glad that I wasn't here for that...

3. Don't angry anymore, okay? XD *give him a really big lollipop*

Tir: Um...okay.

Lazlo:

1. Some people drew you on Queen's Knight's attire, what do you think of it? XD

Lazlo: I don't mind it. I kind of like it, I suppose.

2. So, that's it! I also want you to wear on a Queen's Knight's attire for next chapter! XD

Lazlo: All right.

3. How's your childhood? Happy or not? Stressful?

Lazlo: I consider it fairly happy and normal, as far as my childhood can go.

4. What comes to your mind at very first when you woke up on a... funeral boat all alone?

Lazlo: I was confused at first, but then felt relief. It meant I wasn't dead, and that the rune cycle hadn't started over again.

5. Don't you get lonely? Being alone in the deserted island, where looks like Chiepoo only minded his own business, and for damn hundred years?

Lazlo: It gets lonely sometimes, but I have to remember that it's the path I chose. Nothing more. Besides, I can always make new friends, right? Not that they would ever replace the ones I grew up with, but...

6. If, I said IF. If someday, a group of people come and ask you to unconditionally surrender. They come to have the rune, and ask you to work for them. You cannot defeat them, just say that you're seriously injured. What would you do? Let them kill you and the rune starts its cycle again? Kill them with the rune? Or work for them? I want to hear your reason.

Lazlo: If it came to that, I would probably use the rune against them. I cannot allow the cycle to start over again, nor can I let the rune be used for foul purposes.

6. You love giant crabs? Here is your dare! You may team up with one of Tenkai in this room, and catch one ALIVE for Hatsu as her dinner! You may do it in the end of chapter! XD

Hatsu: YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS! CRAB!

Lazlo: Ah, hm... I suppose Tir would help get the job done quicker, huh?

Tir: If you say so.

Hatsu: This makes me happy!

All:

1. What food do you love and hate most? How do you react if you accidentally eat on them?

Tir: I love stew and I hate cauliflower. I hate it. I won't eat it.

Riou: Doesn't matter to me.

Jowy: I like quite a lot of things, but please don't serve me carrots... I'll try to pass them off to somebody else.

Chris: Even if I don't like it, I'll still eat it. It's the adult thing to do.

Hugo: I don't like eating bean sprouts. I'll hold my breath if I have to.

Lazlo: I don't really like spicy things... I try to avoid them if I can.

Frey: The same for me.

Sierra: I dislike garlicky things. I refuse to eat them. And before you start off with the vampire jokes, it is just a personal preference.

Hatsu: I hate all vegetables. All of them. I gag if I have to eat them.

2. A psychology test. If you all are walking together, who will be the lead or front, on the middle, and behind? Answer! XD
*the answer, front: someone who'll always get smart of him/herself, middle: a person who relying on other people, behind: a responsible and mature one*i'm here!**

Hatsu: I'll answer this one. I think people like Tir, Hugo, and Sierra go in front, Chris and Lazlo go in back, and everyone else is in the middle.

Riou: Why?

Hatsu: Just because I said so.

3. Your strangest habit ever?

Hatsu: I crack my knuckles. It's gross.

Riou: I forget to eat a lot. Actually I just forget a lot of things...

Tir: I've been told I grind my teeth in my sleep. I don't know who figured that out.

Chris: I mess with my hair too often.

Hugo: I fidget. It really annoys my mom, but I just can't sit still.

Lazlo: I pick at my fingernails... it's a sort of stress thing.

Frey: I do the same thing. It drives Lym crazy.

4. If I give you one million potch, what do you gonna do with it?

Tir: Sharpen weapons.

Riou: Pay off debts.

Hugo: I have no idea what I would do with that much money.

Chris: I would put it into the knights' fund.

Lazlo: Ah... give it to Razril? Or Obel.

Sierra: I have no use for such money.

Frey: I think I'd donate it to Luserina's Rainwall restoration project.

5. Who is the best swimmer? XD

Frey: I imagine Lazlo would be the best.

Lazlo: You'd be surprised... I am a good swimmer, but there are a lot of sailors out there who can't swim at all.

6. Ghost! Who don't afraid of them?! *count out of Sierra*

7. Challenge for girls, including Hatsu! Ask for a date on the boy you pick in the room, only ask, but don't do the date for real, or the fangirls would chase on you! XD

Hatsu: Tir, go on a date with me!

Tir: I have to, don't I...?

Sierra: Hm, interesting. I choose Riou, then.

Riou: Oh jeez.

Chris: My answer should be obvious. Hugo, let's go.

Hugo: Oh, okay. If you say so.

8. Now, it something you have waited for long! A CHALLENGE FOR THE BOYS! XD *put a horror-looking lottery box from Suikoden 4 on the table*

Frey: ...This doesn't look promising.

Like before, you just need to draw the lottery, and here is the list of the prize! XD

Gold: 'Congratulation! You won the first prize ever! The prize is: A holiday to spent time with narcissistics of all suikodens until Hatsu update her next chapter!'

Red: 'Not bad, for the second prize! You got a voucher on Nanami's full dinner cuisine which she value it for ten thousand potch!'

Green: 'Consider yourself lucky, the third prize! Enjoy yourself from the briefing of Tacticians! Elenor, Mathiu, and Shu!' *who don't like study, mustn't got this one! XD*

Blue: 'At least you are not the last! Here it is! Three days of schooling to Greenhill Academy!' *i want this! XD*

White: 'You're lucky for being unlucky, here it is! My very special tropical fruit juice! Enjoy!'

Tir: ...I got blue. So I have to go to school? Whatever.

Riou: I got green. Maybe this won't be so bad, I don't mind studying.

Hugo: I got...gold. What?! I don't want to!

Frey: I got red. Somebody save me.

Lazlo: White, for me... thank you for the juice.

Hatsu: Not so bad, right?

Jowy: Those prizes seem a bit...off.

Okay! That's all of it! Damn, it's taking three days for me to make this review. But it couldn't be helped, since Hatsu-sama worked very hard to make this fic. I must do my very best to review too! XD

Hatsu: Yes, but it's taken me this long to write the chapter...

For the ones who got the first, second, and third prize, enjoy your tortures! XD

Bye! *using ninja disappearing technique*

Boo!*suddenly appeared behind Tir and pat on his shoulder*

Tir: WHY DO YOU DO THIS.

hehe, sorry... wrong spell... XD
Riou XD
*grabs on Riou*
Adios! *jump off from 50th floor building with Riou*

Riou: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaa aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... *screams fade off into the distance*

Tir: ...anyway.

Jowy: Now it's Axel yamamoto

Ah! I cant believe you update this fast. Im sorry not reviewing your previous chapters... its just that i get busy this days... My academy decide to held a test for a week... and you know the drill. It made me feel guilty actually.

Axel: Anyway, if you decide to visit Indonesia, ring me up! If its close we can meet up!

Hatsu: Man, I wanna go to Indonesia so bad now... but alas, I'm only sixteen. I need to wait until I can legally travel on my own, so give it a few years. I'll probably end up in Jakarta, since it's the capitol and all. I dunno.

Anyway, Tyr here's your sword, i dont really need it since im not going to the front line, i just need it so i look cool. Anyway,question time!

Tir: I have a sword?

Tyr:
1. Are you a pedo?

Frey: Good question.

Tir: What?! No! Of course not! Why would you...ugh, never mind.

Riou:
1. If somehow Sierra hypnotize Nanami with her evil vampire power to kill you, what will you do?

Riou: Sierra, why?

Sierra: For the fun of it.

Riou: Well... I'd probably knock her out or something...

2. If you are given choice of either marrying Nanami or watching her marry some evil dude, what will you choose?

Riou: Let her marry the evil dude then dispatch him in some way. Win-win.

Chalenge for Riou! Go into the bathroom while Nanami is bathing!

Riou: Would you believe I've actually done that before? Look, it's not anything dirty, but we only had one bathroom in our house in Kyaro.

Jowy: She very rarely threw a fit about it.

Hugo:
1. You know... Im still wondering why your hair look like Chicken butt.

Hugo: Does it? I don't intend for it to look like that.

2. Tell me, do you and Chris sleep in the same bed?

Chris: Of course not.

Hugo: Not at all. We don't even sleep in the same room.

Chris: We don't even live together.

3. Hugo, do you like being dominate?

Hugo: Like Chris said, we don't live together...

Chris:
1. Chris, i asume your the dominant one in your relationship with Hugo?

Hugo: If you mean in terms of bossing me around and giving orders, then...

Chris: Yes.

2. If yes, that mean you on top?

Chris: We have hardly gotten that far. Don't ask ridiculous questions.

3. Are you a sadist?

Chris: Absolutely not. I take no enjoyment from the torment of others/

4. Whats color are your underwear?

Chris: I don't even remember. I never pay attention to such things.

Lazlo:
1. If your dad arrange for a marriage for you, will you accept?

Lazlo: Probably not. There are a lot of reasons why, and I'm sure he would understand.

2. Between Paula and Jewel, which one you think more beautiful? Choose one!

Lazlo: P-Paula, I suppose...

3. ... I really want to take you home, but since im a guy and it sound gay, i throw that idea.

Lazlo: ...So what? You can...

Hatsu: Nothin' wrong with being gay here.

4. If you wake up, and your room are fill with naked women, what is your reaction?

Lazlo: Pretend it's just a dream...yes...

Frey:
1. Frey! My best buddy! How do you do?

Frey: Best...buddy?

Tir: Lucky you.

Frey: Um...all right.

2. Are you a male? Nah just messing with ya... though i am curious...

Frey: Yes I am! For the last time!

3. Will you kill me if i said that i put camera on your sister room?

Frey: Yes. Yes I would.

Hugo: Didn't even hesitate...

4. So, since your sister decide to marry the man she love, does the sacred tournament srill exist?

Frey: I imagine it still will, in the future. Probably not during Lym's reign, though.

Sierra:
1. ...

Sierra: Yes?

2. I... dont really have question for you.

Sierra: Ah. Well then.

Axel: Muahahahaha! All done! Sorry if my question messed up, its just im kinda on a sugar high!

Soldier A: He ate all the sweets in the fridge...

Jowy: How many sweets did you have in there?

Frey: I doubt we want to know.

Axel: Yeah! Since the army at war right now, we can all just relax... *Alarm sound* Huh?

Jowy: Huh?!

Riou: It's become a normal routine at this point...

Soldier A: huh? Report!

Soldier B: Enemy detected! They infiltrate the base! They will be here any minute!

Axel: Oh for the love of... Is it the Yaoi again?

Sodier B: No sir... its... 'THEM'."

Hatsu: We sure are up against quite a few people...

Axel: What!? Soldiers! battle station!

*Door destroy*

Sodier A: They are here!

?: Give me all you pantie!

Axel: Its them... the Pedobears! Fire!

Soldier A: *Firing gun but miss* Damn it! Agh!? *Hit by pedo kick*

Axel: Damn this bears... theres only a few guard here... *Pick up a chainsaw* If you want to take Lym underwear that i 'borrow' You have to get through me! You perverted beast!

Frey: Hold on, what about Lym?!

Soldier B: But... your also a pervert.

Axel: *Ignore* Come at me! Hyaaahhhh!

Pedobears: Paannttyyyy!

*Axel VS Pedobears*
*Conection terminated*

Tir: ...Good luck with that.

Chris: We're moving on now. It's RedD.

Hello. I haven't exactly read everything, but it's really fun. I just didn't expect Tir to be so haughty or sarcastic. Well, silent characters are up for personal interpratations anyway.

Hatsu: Haha. Everyone else is perfectly in character, I hope. I don't know why but I wanted to mess with Tir as much as I could. Probably because he's my favorite.

Tir: Thanks so much.

Ahem... First and foremost I want to join the anti-yaoi force, sir. And I commend you for not idolizing the female pop singer who is stupidly named by her parents Justin, not Justine. Ehehehe

Hatsu: I don't really like American music much in general. I don't think I've ever actually heard a Justin Bieber song. I'm into foreign stuff.

So I've been re-playing my suikoden 1 and 2, and I have a question for Luc, if he will be there and forgive me for a FAQ question, How the damn hell did you make that Clay Golem appear in Magician's Island? PLease enlighten me, oh great one.

Luc: Magic.

Tir: You don't say?

Riou: And when did you get here?

Hugo: "Oh great one?"

On another note, Luc has the True Wind Rune (before suikoden 3) but it can be replaced with a Cyclone rune, or any other rune at that. So what kind of sorcery is that?

Luc: Those runes are held on the head or right and left hands. The True Wind Rune is entangled around my soul. Thus, I can equip any runes on those three areas.

Lastly, I know of Sarah practically idolizing you (even diefying you), and I actually support your pairing. But what if Sarah started calling you Master Luc in a 'If-you-know-what-I-mean' tone?

Luc: I'd carry on as usual. What, it's not like it's much of a difference.

hahah I know, I know, he'd just say it's completely irrelevant but I want to see how he reacts to everything, ne?

Luc: It is completely irrelevant.

OK, next... Riou:
Do you remember the time that Pohl asked you to get two pairs of boots from Barbara back in the Merc Fort? Did you ever want to have a pair for yourself back then? Don't worry. I won't count it as stealing. :3

Riou: Yes, I took a pair. I think my subconscious thought I'd need them if I wanted to run away.

Jowy: We didn't really, in the end, huh?

Riou: No, I wore them.

In addition, on the little scene in North Sparrow path (was it?), you get to pass because of Rina doing something to the soldier, saying "adult conversation," as far as the poor translation goes. So what do you think she did? Let's talk like adults shall we? Hehe

Riou: Something very wrong that I do not want to imagine nor discuss.

Jowy: I still have no idea what you're going on about.

Riou: You see?

I'm requesting Jowy for this:
As I said, I replayed Suikoden2 and finished it with a perfect ending. I saw, when the three of you visited Jillia and you left, Jillia stood and somehow rubbed her tummy like a pregnant woman would. At first I thought "Maybe the shipper filter is working" but then again I watched it for more than six times. So what would you say about this, disregarding the theory that Jillia may be Queen from 3...? By that anyone can give their comments after Jowy. :)

Sierra: Ohohohoho.

Jowy: *chokes* I never went that far with Jillia!

Riou: You sure about that? She seemed pretty devoted.

Jowy: Riou! Knock it off! I did not get Jillia pregnant! ...As far as I know.

Tir: "As far as you know"? So you're saying you DID get that far?

Jowy: Ugh! Knock it off!

Hatsu: You're totally dodging the question!

Jowy: *groan* Okay! I may or may not have gotten that far with Jillia, but if she was pregnant wouldn't she have said something?

Tir: She may not have gotten the chance. You ditched her pretty quickly.

Jowy: We are not talking about this.

Frey: Kind of an amusing topic, though.

As for Lazlo:
I heard that Ted was in your game. I saw his portrait, he's so cute and adorable, mind me. Anyway, Ted likes being alone a lot, right? But was he strong? What was he like on the basis of a normal conversation? Sarcastic like Tir?

Tir: I've been curious about this as well. Spill it.

Lazlo: Ted was very strong. He agreed to accompany me quite often. And when he spoke, he did seem very withdrawn and didn't say much.

By all means, I didn't intend to raise any specific emotion from you two, Tir and Lazlo... Oh well. :P

Lazlo: It's fine.

Frey: Not really a problem.

One last thing, I wanted Klaus Windamier, and/or Sierra, to answer this, regardless of what I read about NashxSierra: Sierra was seen with you a number of times, did you like her in any way? And Sierra, by the ending credits that you were watching over humans, does it specifically mean Klaus (becoming bald? :P)?

Riou: Klaus is here. Don't mess with him, Sierra.

Sierra: You have no faith.

Klaus: Lady Sierra is a very fascinating person...

Sierra: Oh, I like teasing him, but in the end it is Nash I love. If you can call it that. And by watching over humans I mean I was hunting down the rest of the vampires that fool Rean set loose.

Klaus: I can't say I developed any feelings for Lady Sierra. I apologize.

Tir: Okay, see you later.

Hugo: It's lachesis108

*come in dashing through the door*
Nooo! Luc has already left, hasn't he? I missed him again... *sob*

Frey: Sorry. He was here earlier, but...

Hugo: Yeah. You can't really count on him to stick around.

Tir: That's pretty much your bad, though. You're the one that decided to stay out of the chapter.

I know! I was actually watching from afar... fidgeting and wondering should I just barge in or not, but in the end I was lost to my nervousness. *blush* Why am I always like this? I'm hopeless...

Hatsu: Lachesis, you can always barge in! I love you here.

Ah, anyway. That's nothing new, so that's enough weeping. *sigh*

Now then, what should I ask you guys about? I'm kinda in a foul mood today, so I guess no request... I start to think that asking you guys about your love life is kinda old, too, so let's see... I'll just ask questions to all of you at the same time, then!

1. what are the compliments that you usually get from people around you?

Tir: Same old, same old. I'm a good fighter, I'm a good leader, I have a nice headband.

Riou: The same to me.

Jowy: Me as well.

Frey: I get compliments on my hair far too often, even after I cut it.

Hugo: People comment on how good I smell, for whatever reason.

Chris: I get showered with praise so often it's difficult to pick any one compliment I receive most often. Looks, battle prowess, leadership, I've heard it all.

Lazlo: People say I'm very strong, I suppose.

2. what wrong accusations that are often held towards you?

Sierra: I'm a soul-sucking monster from the lowest level of Hell. Harmonians like spewing that one.

Tir: I purposely had my rune eat the souls of those closest to me.

Riou: I wasn't strong or old enough to lead an army.

Jowy: I was a traitor who thought only of furthering my own ambitions.

Chris: I am incapable of fighting because I am a woman.

Hugo: I'm too immature to do what I did.

Lazlo: I'm a ticking time bomb and if someone gets close to me, they'll die.

Frey: I've been told I'm just a worthless figurehead.

3. name one most precious lesson that you learn from the war.

Tir: Life is important so don't let it go to waste.

Riou: If someone offers you a true rune, run far, far away.

Jowy: I have to trust that things I do aren't always the right things, no matter how much they might seem so.

Hugo: Nothing is ever as easy as it seems.

Chris: I need to rely on others more often. I can't be expected to do everything myself.

Lazlo: Bad things happen...it's not my fault when they do.

Frey: Value what you have, because you could lose it easily.

Hatsu: We're getting into deep stuff here.

4. if given the chance, is there anything that you want to tell to the dead?

Tir: I want to apologize for everything that happened...

Riou: I want to thank Grandpa Genkaku for everything he did for me and Nanami.

Jowy: I'd like to apologize to Annabelle. That's all.

Hugo: I...don't know what I would say...

Chris: I would like to make amends with that boy Lulu.

Lazlo: I get the chance quite often... I try to make their burden easier to bear, if that makes sense.

Frey: I'd like to reassure my parents that everything is going well down here.

5. from my experience, the two that quarrel a lot end up to be the most reliable friend for each other in unexpected situations. *smirks to Tir and Frey* What do you all think?

Frey: No.

Tir: Nope.

Riou: Not likely.

Lazlo: Maybe...

Jowy: I don't see it.

Hatsu: Heh. Probably.

Frey: What?!

6. pick one from your 108 stars that you wouldn't want to have as an enemy!

Tir: Pesmerga. Just...Pesmerga.

Riou: Sierra...please don't be my enemy, alright? You and Georg Prime.

Sierra: Don't get your hopes up.

Hugo: I'd rather not have Geddoe as an enemy, honestly.

Chris: I can't think of anyone, myself.

Lazlo: I...would not want to be on Elenor's bad side...

Frey: Same with me, only substitute Elenor with Zerase.

7. what advice would you give for the next tenkai star in Suikoden 6? (Let's be optimistic, guys!)

Tir: If anyone offers you tea, don't take it.

Riou: Eat and sleep regularly so you don't pass out in the middle of zombie invasions.

Jowy: Don't accept a True Rune. Don't do it.

Hugo: Trust people. That's all I'm saying.

Chris: I say the same.

Frey: Dress like a man.

Tir: Ha!

Lazlo: Ah... there might be people who want to exploit your power...watch out for them.

8. if you turn into fruits, what fruit do you think will suit you the most? Don't decide for yourself, ask others' opinion!

Hatsu: Tir's a pomegranate.

Tir: Why?

Hatsu: I love pomegranates.

Riou: I think Sierra is something like...a tomato...

Sierra: I suppose I cannot argue with that.

Tir: Jowy's a carrot.

Jowy: Carrots aren't fruits!

Tir: I don't care. You're a carrot.

Chris: What about me?

Hugo: I don't know. I see you as something like...an apple, I suppose.

Chris: If I'm an apple, you're an orange.

Frey: No, he's more of a kiwi or something. What about me?

Tir: You're as close to a literal fruit as anybody is going to get. Let's not get into it here.

Frey: What?

Hatsu: Fine, you're like a pear. Lazlo, I'm calling you something tropical. Like a pineapple.

Tir: OR A BANANA.

Hatsu: Lazlo, you're a banana!

Lazlo: Ah...alright... what about Riou?

Riou: Eh? Me? Well...

Sierra: I think you're a peach, but that's just me.

Riou: All right then, moving on.

9. what will be your reaction if you find someone that steal your identity for bad things like Hoi and Roy?

Tir: Beat them down, of course. That's really the only way to deal with these people.

Chris: I disagree with that logic, but cannot think of an alternative.

Hatsu: Hoi and Roy rhyme. I wonder if there's a connection.

10. do you have anything like Valentine day over there? if so, have you ever received any chocolate or other gift?

Tir: Riou got chocolate all the time...

Riou: I never did figure out who all it was from.

Chris: I only got six little bags. I can't imagine where they came from.

Lazlo: I got too many...

Frey: As did I.

Jowy: There isn't anything like that in Highland, so...

Sierra: I am typically the one giving out chocolate. Spoiled mortals.

Hugo: What...are we talking about...?

Hatsu: Oh, you don't know. Never mind then. Anyway, I never get anything. Ever. Not even kidding.

11. what question is the most memorable, what request is the most torturing, and what reviewers' gift is the most enjoyable this far?

Riou: I liked when we all traded outfits. And the food, I love all the food.

Hugo: When it comes down to it, they're all memorable in some way.

Tir: And there have been too many tortures to count.

12. does sierra has any relation to arshtat or anyone from the falenan royal bloodline? you have same hair color, and your rune seems related (you know, Sun and Moon). it's alright if it's something that we better off not knowing for now, you don't have to answer it.

Sierra: As far as I know, I do not, but it's something worth looking into. There are some similarities.

Frey: Oh God. Well, I suppose we could. That would just be strange, if you ask me.

That's all... uh, I'm having a stomach ache now... See you all again, good luck to you Hatsu-chan *unexpectedly turn to pinch Hatsu's cheeks again*

Hatsu: Gwaaaah.

and good luck to you True Rune Bearers for the next questions and requests! Hope you guys would survive until the next chapter! *run off with ballet moves*

Hatsu: Bye Lachesis! I hope to talk to you more!

Hugo: Okay, now we have escapetofaerie.

I like this story. I'll support your bid for 108 chapters. I can easily come up with crazy pointless questions. I've played all the Suikoden games released outside of Japan so I've got a boatload of questions for all of you!

For Tir:

1. I actually thought you had the best side-quest thing. I mean, I consider the paint collecting to be one. Why did they remove it from the succeeding games, do you think? I loved the artwork when I collected all the paints.

Tir: I don't know. I guess you just can't expect everything to be the same every time.

2. Aren't you a bit pissed off that you're the only Tenkai that requires a Holy rune to dash? I was a bit annoyed at that.

Tir: It is kind of irritating, yeah, but it's not that big of deal.

3. How do you go back to Gregminster so fast after they remove you from their party in II? Don't you think it would have been more convenient (for the player most especially) if you just shacked up at the castle for the mean time? You could fish at the castle to pass the time.

Riou: I wondered about that too.

Tir: I actually got Viki to teleport me rather than walking. It was easier for her to transport me long distances because she's familiar with me and the destination, I think. I don't fully know how that stuff works.

4. Wasn't Georg one of Barbarossa's 6 Generals? Why didn't you recognize him when he became a part of Riou's army?

Tir: I think he quit before I was born or when I was very young. My father never talked about him much and I certainly never saw him.

Frey: Maybe you just never paid attention

Tir: Yes, everyone expects small children and infants to pay attention.

5. I think you have the coolest rune out of all of you. The rune symbol looks so mysterious! And you are a monster! My entire team can be wiped out but you can take out an entire boss all by yourself (just like Ted in IV)!

Tir: Everybody clear on that? Good.

For Riou:

1. In the cooking mini-game, who's the judge you love and the judge you hate the most? (I personally hated Luc. He usually gave me either a 0, 1 or 2. Yes, the bastard gave me a zero for Nanami Ice.)

Riou: Viktor and Hoi were great judges. They loved everything. But I agree with you on Luc, he did hate everything.

2. Which of the flying squirrels with Mukumuku was your favorite?

Lazlo: Squirrels...

Riou: Mukumuku himself. He's the one who hung around most often.

3. Wouldn't you agree that Hix's brain is the size of a peanut? I mean, he never found out that that stupid Unicorn Quest was bogus!

Tir: Heh. I remember that.

Riou: I wouldn't say the size of a peanut. He was just so focused on Tengaar that it drove all reason out of his mind.

4. Weren't you angry when Viktor's mooks told you to clean up the oil spills in his fort and do those other stupid chores? I hated being gofer.

Riou: Haha, Jowy sure was the lucky one, wasn't he? It honestly didn't bother me too badly. I thought it was kind of fair; I was their prisoner, after all, and they had good reason to think of me as such.

Jowy: That doesn't mean you should have had to do it.

Riou: It was just a small thing. No big deal. Besides, Nanami makes me do that sort of thing all the time.

5. Which is your preferred guardian deity? I like the rabbit personally but I'm not sure it does any good for morale having a cute little bunny as your symbol. I wanted the unicorn but it was kinda... gay.

Riou: I like the dragon, myself. But it was a lot of fun coming up with a bunch of different combinations, don't you think?

Hatsu: I had a rabbit head on a dragon body with unicorn legs once. It was great.

6. I know you've forgiven Jowy and all but I really want to smack him good just once. Could you maybe do that for me? Thanks!

Jowy: Whoa, hold on!

Riou: I hate to say this, but this reviewer isn't the only one who thinks you need a good smack.

Jowy: You too?!

Riou: Not me, Nanami. I still have to do it, though. I'm sorry...

Jowy: *sigh* Whatever...

Sierra: *slaps Jowy across the face*

*Dead silence*

Jowy: *stunned*

Riou: ...what?

Tir: What?

Hugo: What?

Sierra: One of you pussies had to do it. Riou clearly didn't want to.

For Hugo:
1. I know you're with Chris but I actually thought you were going to hook up with Lilly! There was some weird "something" going on between the both of you. Thank goodness it didn't happen.

Chris: Interesting.

Hugo: L-Lilly? She's not really... I mean what?

Sierra: She was the annoying little brat from Tinto, wasn't she?

Chris: I imagine so, though now she's graduated from annoying little brat to just annoying brat.

Hugo: She says that, but they're actually friends.

2. Don't you feel left out when Futch, Franz and Fred do their pretty boy co-op attack? I think you're more of a pretty boy than Franz!

Hugo: ...No. I don't want to be a part of that, sorry.

3. What do you feel about the no treasure chest rule in III? Like picking up glowing herbs and looting corpses is more fun.

Hugo: That's a bit darker than the others, isn't it? Yikes. I think I would prefer the chests.

For Chris:
1. I was actually hoping you would get together with Percival. Hugo's cute and all but I really thought he was too young for you.

Hugo: Am I? In the long run, neither of us are aging, so it's not that big of deal, right?

Chris: Percival...isn't exactly my type. I see him as a good friend.

((I secretly ship her and Percival, just saying. –Hatsu))

2. Don't you think Salome needs a new hairstyle? His haircut is what evil people in medieval movies use!

Chris: His hairstyle is none of my business. However...in my private opinion, I do believe he could fix it up a bit.

Sierra: I've seen it. Ugh, how tacky.

Special Request! For Geddoe:
1. When you and Queen were trying to save the Karaya village, you fight Borus as a boss, yes? If you lose that fight, the game goes on. Don't you think a game over would have been better? I mean, how can the player continue on living knowing they lost to Borus?!

Geddoe: ...We had other things to focus on at the time. It was hardly an issue.

Chris: Borus is a capable fighter, despite what one might think.

For Lazlo: Have I got a bunch of questions for you! :D

1. Some people hated your game but I loved it. Well, cruising and looking for islands isn't really fun on the first playthrough and all. And navigating and landing does take a bit of practice. And the random encounters do get to you eventually. And you run really... weird... and slow (thank goodness for fast forward). And your eyes are a bit too intense. When you face the screen, I automatically shout "Don't look at me!" But despite all this I love you. XD

Lazlo: Thank you, I'll...try to work on that...

2. You could actually decorate your room, you know. It was so bland that I remember putting in some pretty paintings to liven it up. Don't you feel jealous that all the other Tenkais and Hugo get a better room than you?

Lazlo: I never spent much time in my room, so it never bothered me much.

3. Weren't you the least bit annoyed with Kyril in Tactics? Especially those times when he couldn't kill those ugly fishmen. You were seriously the best character there. You had a killer rune, you had so many co-op attacks and your stats were like whoa! Seriously. You were the best!

Lazlo: I wasn't annoyed, I understood why he couldn't. That's why I tried to fill in for him whenever possible.

4. Did Mitsuba and Akaghi ever tie the knot?

Lazlo: I don't know if they ever got over their shyness about each other, honestly. Maybe. You'd have to ask Kate a question like that.

5. Did Jewel and Snowe ever get together? She liked him, didn't she?

Lazlo: I think she did, and I remember they did spend a lot of time together during and after the war. I did wonder about them...

6. I didn't know your name before so me and my brothers kept calling you local boy (your name in the opening sequence of Tactics). What age did you and Snowe stop doing your Furball Patrol?

Lazlo: After that night with the fish man, Snowe never wanted to go back, so we didn't. Around ages seven or eight, then.

7. How did you manage to stop your army from being addicted to Ritapon? I could play that game for hours! *Flicks open her tiles* Tsumo!

Lazlo: They stopped themselves after she started taking all their money. Only the ones who were willing to bet her ever got anywhere.

For Frey:
1. I honestly thought you were a girl when I first saw you. Your costume is backless and you're wearing tights! Anyway, which of your four outfits do you like the best? I'm still a little ticked off that Gizel's Queen's Knight Commander's outfit is a tad better than yours (it's the long, flowing, red sleeves, I tell you). My favorite is the orange one. :D

Hatsu: It's okay, I thought he was a girl too.

Frey: That's...whatever. I like my Queen's Knight outfit the best. It's easy to move in.

Hatsu: And it's attractive.

2. Have you ever been to your grandfather's place back in the Island Nations? If you have, what's it like?

Frey: No, I haven't been to Obel yet. Things have just been so busy back in Falena. I imagine it's nice, though.

Lazlo: Maybe I'll see you if you come.

Hatsu: (Dude you just gave me a story idea)

3. If Richard wasn't poisoned in the Sacred Games and he met Belcoot in the final, who do you think would win?

Frey: Hm, it's difficult to say. Richard has more raw strength and speed, but Belcoot has the better technique. I guess it comes down to whomever gets tired first.

4. If Richard did win the Sacred Games, would you accept it? Mueller might become the Queen, you know. *shudder*

Frey: I think being the commander would force him to wise up a bit. Hopefully, anyway.

5. What do you usually put on the pedestals in your castle? I put lots of angel statues and bonsai plants everywhere. :D

Frey: I like the bonsai plants as well. Not a big fan of the statues.

For Sierra:
1. Aren't you a little annoyed that Nash refers to you as "The Missus"? I think talking about such an elegant, high-bred, creature of the night in such a way is blasphemy!

Sierra: Well, I certainly like you. In any case, I don't care what he calls me as long as he knows his place. I am easily the dominant one in this relationship.

2. What did he get you for your first wedding anniversary?

Sierra: A crate of tomatoes and garlic. I threw them at him.

Another special request! Please let Futch answer my questions. :D

Futch: I'm here.

Tir: How do the special guests get here so quickly?

Hatsu: Authoress magic.

1. Are there any other people besides Nash who have tried to make a sandwich out of Bright? If so, what manner of punishment have you extracted from them?

Futch: I just sort of hit them, grabbed Bright, and ran away. Nothing too difficult, and people rarely tried to eat him. People are afraid of dragons, you know.

2. Have you been feeding Bright well? He seems a tad small. I understand about Black since he's a rather young dragon but Bright should be a teenager dragon now. I was expecting he'd be... I don't know... bigger.

Futch: Even if he's small, he's very strong and powerful. Size isn't everything. Besides, there's a lot about Bright we don't know yet. He might still be growing.

3. You're my ultimate favorite recruit. I love you the most! Marry me, maybe? XD

Futch: *splutter* O-Oh, well...we barely know each other, you know? So... I'm just going to leave now.

Tir: Bye Futch.

Hugo: Later.

And for Madame Author!
1. I didn't think Tierkries was that bad. Yes, Sieg... uhm... Cheddar could be annoying but I filled my team with the good looking ones so I have lots of eye candy to drown out Sieg... Cheddar's face. I especially like Roberto. There's just something about that sexy, husky drawl of his. Never mind that he's a ninja called Roberto. And Atrie was a darling. He's so nice. And the Porpos-kin were kinda cute. Except that thrice-blasted Namna. Screw you, stupid thing!

Hatsu: As a stand-alone game it's not that bad. The problem is that they tried to pass it off as a Suikoden game. That's what pissed me and most of the fandom off. That and the voice acting, ugh. It's like they all had twenty minutes in the recording studio and had to get it all done really quick.

2. Was there a character in Tierkries that you did like?

Hatsu: Oh yeah! Like I said, it's not a terrible game all on its own. My favorite is Jale, but I like Manaril and Asad a lot too. Asad doesn't wear a shirt, which is nice. Chrodechild was pretty cool, but I'm not a fan of Fredegund. That's pretty much it, I think. Oh, I also like Other Marica and Atrie. Mm, Atrie. Yes.

Anyway, that's a load of questions for you. Enjoy everyone. :D

PS: Tell me where to sign for the Suikoden Revival Movement. I'm all for it.

Hatsu: There's a link to it on my profile!

Dynewind

Hi, Hatsu-san.
I like this fic very much, I actually never seen any like this before.

Hatsu: Not for the Suikoden fandom, anyway. In other fandoms, they're all over.

And I also from Indonesian, wow so many Indonesian reviewer made me happy, I don't have many friends here that play Suikoden.

Hatsu: I don't have many either, so I love talking to everyone on this site! I wish I could be better friends with everybody.

Oh yeah, the question! *rustle*

For Tir:
Why the others can use another runes in their head/left/right hand and you can't? Some kind of discrimination aren't they? Lol.

Tir: Nah, it's more of an affinity thing. I'm more suited to physical fighting than magic.

Why you don't have a suggestion box in your base while the others have?

Tir: I didn't want one. If people want to talk to me about something, then they can just come up and talk to me.

Who is your Mom? I think I hear certain gossip about it.

Tir: According to my father and Gremio, my mother was from one of the higher-class families in Gregminster. They met at some sort of social gathering and hit it off, apparently.

For Riou:
How can you understand what Mukumuku says and do from the first time he met you at the tree behind your house until you get another Flying Squirel? o_O

Riou: ...I guessed.

Jowy: I never could understand it, either.

For Hugo:
Have you ever try riding Bright? If so, what the difference from Fubar?

Hugo: I did ride Bright a couple of times... it's different. He's bigger and much faster. I honestly prefer Fubar, but that's probably because I'm closer to him.

For Chris:
Why do you become a knight? Is someone inspire you?

Chris: Yes, my father. When I was younger I wanted to be just like him. I suppose I am just like him now, in a way.

Why you never wanted to play lottery (at your story chapter)? Chance for getting rare item at certain lottery shop decrease because of that

Chris: I'm not one for the lottery. I consider it a waste of my time.

For Lazlo:
Why you and Ted not travelling together at the end of the story, for both of you have similar rune?

Tir: Yeah, why?

Lazlo: Ted was very solitary. He always wanted to be alone. At the end of the war, he just wanted to go off by himself and I still had many things to attend to anyway.

Tir: Hm. I can see that.

For Frey:
Why Falena is a Queendom, not a Kingdom? Are there any history behind it? I'm curious about that..

Frey: Because of the legends about the first Queen bearing the Sun Rune. I don't know for sure, but that has something to do with it. Is it really that strange?

For Jowy:
Why do you dislike carrots?
Actually I also dislike it!

Jowy: It's a texture thing, and they just don't taste good.

Hatsu: Yes, that's right.

For Tir and Riou:
What do you think about Nadir's theater about The End of Scarlet Moon Empire and Neclord's End? The story is so different with yours because the author of the story is from the narcisstic group.

Tir: I try not to think about Nadir's theatre too hard.

Riou: Same here. It's...kind of distasteful, in my opinion.

Hugo: Still pretty hilarious, though.

Sierra: I agree.

For All:
I'm curious, what is your favorite food? Maybe I can bring it for you next time (Hatsu-san too!).

Tir: I like stew. Gremio's, to be specific.

Riou: I like a lot of things, really. You can just bring anything.

Jowy: That's because you can't taste, but whatever. I like meaty things, like steak.

Hugo: Ever eaten deer or rabbit? It's good.

Sierra: I prefer organic things, if you can believe it. That and raw meat. Mm.

Chris: I am fairly partial to various types of bird.

Lazlo: Bean buns... I like bean buns...

Frey: Hm, I can't think of a favorite. I have a wide variety of preferences. Seafood is good, I guess. Fish sashimi is the best.

Hatsu: Crab! I love crab so much! Lobster and shrimp are great too, but crab is the best!

Vote three person (including Hatsu-san) the most hateful, the scariest, the kindest person in here *grin* I think I can guess who is it.

Riou: This is easy.

Frey: Tir is easily the most hateful.

Tir: Pfft. Fine.

Hugo: Scariest?

Frey: Sierra, definitely.

Sierra: If you say so.

Tir: I personally vote Riou to be the nicest.

Riou: Eh?

Tir: Hey, that's the good option. Don't argue.

Why you all not thankful for Viki presence? If she isn't there, I'll be lazy to finish your each game cause the teleporting system isn't there (and including Blinking Mirror in some cases).

Hugo: Well we don't really need to teleport anywhere at the moment, do we?

Riou: That's true. It's better she's not here.

Chris: I can't help but remember the catastrophe with her younger self.

Sierra: And Nash did not skimp on the details when he described his encounter with her to me.

Okay, thats all.
For Axel, More, and others Indonesian, keep reviewing!
Thanks for you all and goodbye!

Lazlo: Finally...

Hatsu: We're done!

A/N:

Hey guys, thanks for being patient. I can't believe it took me so long to write this; more than a few days. I for some reason really wanted to finish right now, which is weird because I'm kind of upset about things at the moment, but whatever.

Questioning is open again. I'm sorry, but can I ask you guys to make your reviews a bit shorter? It's just easier for me to write that way.

For the record, this chapter is FORTY PAGES LONG. FORTY. LIKE. SERIOUSLY.

Thank you for everything. Please review.
