GREEN DRAGON in Leesport / Cute nephew!

Got my 2013 bus pass application in the mail today; I guess that's as early as I got it last year. I found some class leveling codes for DRAGON QUEST 6, so that'll save me SOME time. Still need to actually level up the characters, though! Spent about seven hours doing the code thing; called Eric to see whether he was going to potluck / movies at Pastor Bob's tonight. Since he said he was at his cousin's, he wasn't attending. NICE! MORE TIME TO GAME IT UP! A sign that Julie S. found in Ephrata, a small town in Lancaster County in Pennsylvania: "GREEN DRAGON!" (where her friend Nikki was trying to sell homemade bows) My big baby nephew is almost four months old. In this picture, he's currently dressed in an outfit for a 12-month old, and a hat for a 3-6 year old. Granted, the hat's a little big... Here's Drago (another secret character) at the front of the wagon near Clear Vale! Terry at the front of the wagon - you can get him after defeating the DEMON KING Duran! At Luisa's Place, the hero can't leave himself behind! You can also choose to dismiss recruited monsters from your party entirely: they'll return to the wilderness of the world. "Who will take Unkel's equipment?" is not a YES / NO question!

Mario Tumblr / Longadeseo PUFF PUFF TIME!

A MARIO-themed picture which Julie S. got from Tumblr: Yurina, the Snow Queen of DRAGON QUEST VI: Longadeseo woman: "I hear strange sounds on the other side of this wall... maybe it's someone having sex, but what if it's a monster...? I'm so scared!" Longadeseo PUFF PUFF TIME! This makeover increases your style by five points!

OOPS files / Falshion as Pegasus

Amanda R. added me to Facebook; I know her as zuridea, of course. Talked to Talia on AIM briefly last night, too. SNES9x seems to work so far... *fingers crossed*


What the heck is an OOPS file?! I found it mildly amusing, anyway!




Of COURSE our wild horse Falshion is the legendary Pegasus in Reidock town! Considering what happens WAY later on in the game in the Pegasus Tower (which I've only heard about), this has to be true!

Invisible hero! / Beautiful King Reidock / True Mountain Spirit

WHY DOES PHOTOBUCKET STILL NOT WORK?! WHY DID MY MOTHER CALL ME FROM JON AND HARMONY'S?! UNDERHANDED!


On to DRAGON QUEST 6! :D


Innkeeper: "What, you think it's weird for someone to run an inn in a cave!?" Why, YES!




THE HERO IS INVISIBLE! (after rescuing the Spirit Crown maker Bilte, and falling into the Phantom World)




It's the true mountain spirit in Lifecod, telling the hero of their destiny and power! "Can you hear my voice?"




Rand proposes to Tania, but she says they're too young at 16 and 17...




King Reidock is very beautiful, even though he's a man!




"I wonder where we could find a horse strong enough to pull the Reidock royal coach..." is NOT a Yes or No question!




"Um... you're not thinking about taking that horse inside the castle, are you?" YES! (but we're supposed to answer "no")




You can search bookshelves in this game, but most times, these books are all boring!

In love with Ludman?! / MY FAMILY IS ERIC!

I tried calling Chinese Eric at 9:45 while reading old emails, but his mom said he was sleeping since he was tired from working. Not a problem! Then half an hour later, he got on MSN to say that he wanted to write me to say that he was busy tomorrow because stuff came up.... NO FAT DRAGON FOR YOU! At least I appreciate that! He wanted to know how long Nate's stay was; I had heard until the 9th. When I said I probably wanted Grandma at the birthday celebration this year, he figured that it would be a close family thing. Yes, but I had to tell him that HE was PART of MY FAMILY! (reaction: "cool cool - THANKS! *thumbs up* ") Updated him on Grandma, too. He hopes the weather will cool down when the kids are back in school, and I had to tell him that I was thinking about that the other night for him! "The nights will be cooler again, just for Chinese Eric!" Hahaha! He asked about the dog, too. It was a nice chat, for sure! I know he was kind of tired, so I didn't mind if he needed sleep at midnight!

Jon emailed us to say that FAT DRAGON is probably flexible; I looked the directions up on Translink, and it involves Waterfront Station and then four possible buses to Powell Street - CONFUSION! Then he sent another one to say that we could shelve it for a later date where more people could make it, even if Nate's leaving soon. Should be good times, then!


The Hero has to choose between Flora or Bianca, but says he can marry Flora's father (Master Ludman) instead! "So what you're saying is that you're in love with me?! Er, I'm flattered, but really, you best think that over."




"Congratulations, Lord Simon... you're to be a father very soon!" YES? NO? HAHAHA! [this was taken from the hilarious LP thread... I'm not playing the game again just to get to this point once more!]




This guy Pusan was going around on a mine cart in Torokko...




... for TWENTY YEARS?!

Impostors casting Transform / Metal Babbles, King Metal, and a SLIME?!

I FINISHED DRAGON WARRIOR IV AGAIN. :D


The Impostor enemy can cast Transform; here, two of them have assumed the shapes of Brey and Mara!




HAHAHA! A King Metal, Metal Babbles, and a SLIME down here in the Final Cave?!

Stancia rendezvous / Gardenbur / Traveling merchant armies

Just discovered the start of redrum... and I thought that smell was interesting, not the HARBINGER OF RED DOOM!


"La, di, la... your beautiful face, reflecting on [Stancia] water..."




"Excuse me... EXCUSE ME! We're having a rendezvous! Don't intrude!" HAHAHAHA! Oh, Stancia...




Taloon can call for reinforcements in battle, which consist of a traveling merchant army appearing out of nowhere and attacking the enemy!




Taloon can also sing a lullaby to try making the enemy sleep...




This is the only man living in Gardenbur Castle, in the House of Healing! "You envy me, don't you?"




The Gardenbur castle jail guard will miss us... what is she saying?!




We can make the Colossus south of Riverton move!




Hey, the Colossus can transport us across water so we can get to Dire Palace!

Hector, Mintos, Healie, Burland weeping

Hey, Hector is working at the only inn with castle doors, the one at Mintos! (when he leaves your party after the Padequia Seed events, he studies hotel management under Old Howden)




Wow! Healie the Kind Slime realized his dream of becoming human! He wants us to rescue Ragnar in Keeleon Castle.




Here's a kid in Burland who's too scared to go to the bathroom! "Weep... I want to go to the bathroom, but I'm too scared!"

Princess Gwaelin at inns, coffins, PUFF PUFF, Wellgarth inn

The PUFF PUFF running gag in the DRAGON QUEST series


Critical hit point status, as shown in the desert outside the DQ1 town of Kol after defeating a skeleton:




You can take Princess Gwaelin to inns... this is what happens the next day: "Good morning! I hope you had a good night. Please take care."




In the DW2 town of Lianport, a cute girl invites you to have a "puff puff" session with her: "Don't you think I'm cute?" This onomatopoeia refers to a woman rubbing her breasts on a man's face.




"Ooh... I am delighted! Let's start!"




PUFF! PUFF! PUFF!




"Isn't that wonderful?"




"That's it. Thank you very much! Please come again!"




This is what happens if you say NO to her proposal: "Hmph! What?! Not another homosexual..." HAHAHA!




In the DQ1 town of Kol, there's a puff-puff girl in the open-air baths! "Hey, good-looking! How would you like a puff puff? It's only 20 gold."




If you say no, it's not as amusing as the one in Lianport, though. "Oh, that's too bad. If you need our services, let us know."




In the DRAGON QUEST games, your dead characters are represented by coffins, as in this screen shot outside the DRAGON QUEST 2 setting of Rhone!




When the series went to North America, Nintendo censored Japan (and took out an Enix gay bar in DW3)... so we have ghosts instead, as in this screen shot outside the DRAGON WARRIOR III town of Rimuldar.




This woman in the DW2 town of Wellgarth is a bit confused: "Excuse me, sir. Can you tell me where the bath is? What? This isn't a bath? This is a hotel?" HAHAHAHA!




You can take items from a coffin...




... and give them right back TO the coffin!




After you defeat Malroth in DRAGON WARRIOR II, the "60" glitch shows up again when the Rhone nun is talking to you! "Kendrick, 60, fe... Rolando, 60, fe... Linda, 60, f0..."




Child in Zahan: "Hey! You beat up Hargon! When I grow up, I want to marry you!"




Several places have VERY indented thanks, this one in Zahan: "Thanks to you, peace has returned. Thank you very much!"




Cannock jail guard: "Today, we're giving the prisoners a special surprise, and giving them a beer."




The thief in Cannock Castle's jail: "Oh, I've been dying for a beer! *gulp* "




Rolando's sister: "Hey, you're so carefree. I was worried that you got yourself into trouble."




Prince Rolando's retort: "Well, you're always so conceited. Heh heh heh..."




Don Mahone in Tuhn, referring to the Water Flying Clothes he made with the Magic Loom out of the Dew's Yarn in the Dragon Horn Tower: "Oh, it's you! What a tremendous achievement! I weaved my very soul into that robe. Ho ho ho..."




Gina, in Tuhn: "You people truly have courage. Just for once, I would like my husband to be like you."




We go see the great-grandson of the DRAGON WARRIOR 1 Dragonlord in Charlock Castle after restoring peace to the world: "Aside from other matters, we have become great friends! From now on, I'll call you Kendrick, and you can call me Ryu! Wa ha ha ha!"




The King of Tantagel Castle, telling the party what they already knew: "In reality, I'm the King of this castle! Heh heh heh!"




This guy in Tantagel Castle REALLY wants the kingship: "If the King is still missing, maybe I will be granted the job of ruling this country." Too bad that the King was hiding out in the weapon shop all this time!




Tantagel's King: "This country has been rescued by your lineage now two times... no, make that three times."




The guy in Leftwyne who told the party that they made him pee all over his foot: "I'm such a stupid person. I just drank too much. I had to come over HEAR and relieve myself." WORD FAIL!




A shop owner in Lianport: "Aahh! This beer is so smooth! A great beer is the best thing in life!"




Several people (this one in Hamlin) say this after peace has been restored to the world: "Hey! By chance, was it you heroes who defeated Hargon?! I didn't recognize you! I must be getting old!"




The lottery ticket people (this one in Hamlin) give you a modest gift of a Lottery Ticket after you restore peace to the world.




The Ozwarg monsters behind Hamlin's Golden Key door: "Ki! Ki!"




The ghostly King of Moonbrooke Castle, in flame form: "Well then, farewell. Oh, I can see... the heaven's gate."




The formerly lonely guy in Wellgarth: "Whee! This is great! I just figured out that everyone has been living down here! I'm no longer alone!"
