This is kind of random, but I hope it's okay that (in one of Ravi's recent bulletin board replies to Renji) I just put '18xx' for whatever year it's supposed to be in the D.Gray-man series, since there isn't a specific one given, beyond 'late nineteenth century'? XD;; I'm assuming it would need to be before 1868, if Tokyo's still Edo, though.

Edit: I think I kind of misplaced my brain yesterday. *bricked*

I think that works. I'd feel a little weird just guessing a random year, so yeah, no worries there. :3

I'm glad you're posting. ♥

It's quite all right. I know that the structure of the RP takes some getting used to, but I hope that you're slowly getting the hang of it. Also, Sora and Ravi thread is made of love and win.

fjdake Terra, I want to app Sokka at [livejournal.com profile] paradisa so bad raghhh. *paws* I shouldn't be talking about other RPs in my own comm, but oh well~

Of course! Believe me, we know it takes some watching and learning and being awkward/not knowing what to do. Yaaay, I was worried you might drop or something. :x Yaaay! I hope he seems IC and all that.

I really wanna get him. The more I watch, the more I want to play him. Doesn't Aang have Katara at the moment? And Toph... AND STUFF?

I'm glad you think so. We try to be reasonable about these things. :D Of course! You're obviously making an effort and all that. I'm glad to hear it! YES, that will be fun. It's so easy to get Sora to thread with just about anyone. XD

Aww, she hasn't? That's sad. Why not? And yay for Toph interaction! It's strange that Miranda made it possible. XD

You're welcome!

Aww, that sucks. Yeah, hopefully she will! If I do get Sokka, he'll need his sister around. D: (Though he'd never admit it.) Hee, she works wonders~? :3

Actually, I think Japan's the Maiji period in DGM. It says it's at the end of a fictional 19th century and I remember it mentioning that Japan was visited by the Americans. They say it was closed for so long that the Earl was able to take over, but I assume it must have been opened if they actually know the situation over there(I feel very sorry for the American mission in that case -_- ). And I dunno if Akuma would bother with changing the name of the capital

Eh, I could be wrong of course ^^; I just always thought DGM would be set later.

That's a good point. I think I mostly figured it had to be before then because everybody was referring to it as Edo, right? XD;; But you're right; with it basically belonging to the Earl, he probably wouldn't change the name or anything anyway. Unless it's Akumaland or something? >>

(Hmm, I know that there's some weird inconsistent stuff in the anime on top of that - Leo's mother's tombstone, for instance, says 1818-1851 or something like that on it, I think, but the image on the posters at the end of the opening was painted in 1897, I think? *ponders* It's confusing. XD)

[identity profile] zalia.livejournal.com 2007-01-12 11:48 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, Edo was changed to Tokyo during the first year of the Meiji period, although who knows how long it took before people actually remembered to call it that ^^;

Akumaland: Fun for all the family! <3

Yeah, then again, it does take pains to remind us that it's a fictional 19th Century ^^;

Well, considering that it's a series about exorcists, we can also assume that it might not follow the exact same history as the real world... ;-)

*has to be a total geek about East Asian history*

^^;

Yeah! Let's all go get our skins stolen!

[identity profile] ryuuseisui.livejournal.com 2007-01-12 07:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, good point. XD *bricked* My 'AHHNEEDTOBEREALISTICANDGETHISTORYCORRECT'-ness killed my common sense.

Yay for geeking! :3

XD FUN INDEED.
