Heaven's BBS - Text

Posted: July 18
From: Barry Goodman

So, that sure happened.

Gotta say, I'm glad to be back to normal. Kinda wish I coulda kept that younger body I was in, though - easiest forty pounds I've ever lost, haha! Anyway, though, I got some things to say.

First off, Izuku - I owe ya, man. I almost made the biggest mistake of my life yesterday, but I remembered what ya told me and I came back from the point of no return. If there's ever anything you need - and I mean anything - you just call on your pal Barry, okay? You literally saved my soul back there. No joke.

And second - you guys gotta see what I found at the zoo. Check this out:

Lookit that little guy! He totally knows what's up! 2D > 3D! I can't believe I almost forgot that! I'm sorry, Blueprint-chan! I'll never betray you like that again! I'm gonna buy all your figures and plushies and drama CDs, I promise!

Well, uh, I kinda got off-topic there a little bit. But I'm doin' good, ain't nobody gotta worry about that. Barry Goodman, signing off!

Hululu? Grape-kun? Is Grape an alias?

What is a magical girl and anime?

[ Magical girl is a girl that can use magic? That's what it sounds like. Doesn't that mean Olmine is one? ]

No, Grape-kun is the penguin's name. The real one. Hululu's the cardboard cutout.

As for anime... it's prolly easier if I just show ya. It's pretty great, though!

Right.

Is that so? Is it so complicated it’s impossible to explain?

Not complicated, really. It's just the kind of thing that you can really only appreciate if you see it yourself.

Is that right?

Yup. It's like seein' a beautiful sunset in person or havin' someone just tell ya about it. Which one would you prefer?

I’ve seen plenty of sunsets in my days, so I get what you mean. I guess I’ll give it a shot, at least.

Great! When're ya free?

Most evenings, at the moment.

[ He still needs to get a job, but he keeps to the stables most of the time even when he doesn’t have to. ]

Great! Stop by Mielikki's temple whenever, then, and I'll give you a crash course in all the classics.

Where is that? Classics? Like fancy-like old-time foreign stuff?

[ He's comparing it to classical music. ]

Yeah, just like that!

[It is Japanese, after all.]

I see. I’m not very good with fancy stuff.

[ He’s a wild west country bumpkin outlaw, after all. ]

I dunno if I'd really call it fancy. Some of it's kinda high concept, I guess, but most of it's pretty easy to follow.

Is that so? Fine then, I guess.

That's the spirit! C'mon over with your favorite snacks anytime, then, and I'll show ya the best stuff I've got.

[ “Snacks”... ]

Does cigarettes count?

Not unless you're gonna eat 'em.

That was not what I intended. More along the line of smoking them.

That stuff's bad for your health, y'know.

Is that so. I don’t care. I could die any day, I want to smoke as much as I can, whenever I’m able.

Well, at least you know what you like!

I’m fortythree, I figure I should know it to some degree at least.

Ain't that the truth. Well, whenever you wanna come over, then.
