Do we get to see pictures?

Quote from: "UNtrue Noir"


Another by the way.. where are Mirage and Blue Jackal?


I don't know. I advertised this board in a comment on Blue Jackal's LJ, so I guess she skipped right over it or something. I may have to e-mail her...as well as a few other Noir fans.

By the way, I forget who posted the pilgrimage to the Manor thing, but I may make that a destination when I go on my round-the-world trip (if I save up enough money :lol: )

Some more too muches:

-Because you connect Lunar's goddess Althena with Altena, you're sorely tempted to draw Altena as a goddess in the sky *as in Altena smiles upon you and you regain all your HP/MP*

-You e-mail every single fan you know and advertise this board...and hound them if they don't join

-In addition to the Manor, your destination for your round-the-world trip are Corsica (because Mireille lived there) and Paris (to track down Mireille and Kirika's apartment...I think someone on Shoujoai.com found it) :shock:

-You make fanart of all the images each Noir song evokes. I plan ondoing this.

-You  normally hate Westerns and thing like Leon, but now get into them because they're like Noir.

-You carry the two-pronged dessert fork you bought in your purse everywhere you go.

-You do your eyes like Dark Kirika's whenever you hear a song where she was prominently featured (easy since I have glasses)

-Afterwards you don't suddenly quit; you go from Dark Kirika to Dark Kirika .75, .50. 25, then yourself again  (Me too. It's fun)
Am I supposed to just walk up to someone and say 'Hello. My name's Kirika. I kill people in my spare time'?

Taco taco tacosu has a whole new meaning now. Thanks, Kakashi.

Hello, my name is Fellini, and I've watched too much Noir... :P


 :shock: Hi, Fellini!

I guess this has become... Dare I say it... Noir-chotics Anonymous! ...Bad pun... Sorry...

I'll admit that I have a Noir wallpaper on my computer as well (This one, to be exact)... And I guess that equal to the different screen names that I have on a different message board: TheTrueNoir2010 (has the same attitude as a certain Noir character) and NamelessSoldat...

...My name is trfanatic, and I've been a chronic Noir otaku since March 2005... :|

Wouldn't it be.. Noir-aholics Anonymous? (POP. 100,000. You could be member 100,001!)

Oh, wait. nevermind. I just got it after five minutes..

My name is UNtrue Noir, and I've been a Noir addict since November of 2003. =D

The whole group: IT'S NOT. OKAY. [Heh. Starved rocks.]

More too much stuffs:

- In the middle of reading Julius Caesar, your teacher goes on about how fellow students shouldn't reveal the ending. Then he says, "It's a real cloak and dagger... something." You can't help beaming.

- Shortly afterwards your classmate mentioned something about a quote said in Latin by Caesar, and you immediately begin to hum Salva Nos.

- You realize (just now) how many things Noir-related happen in one day.

- You remember the day you converted to Noir-ism.

- After reading Chloe's Secret ( which was removed :[ ), you decide to make your own mini-Kirika shrine. :D
What am I supposed to say? 'Hi my name is Jodie, I like watching sunsets, taking long walks on the beach, oh and I'm smoking hot'?

I remember that too well! :shock:

A friend got me (who lacked in the knowledge of Noir at that time) to cosplay as Kirika (while she cosplayed as Chloe) for a local anime convention... Long story, short, I bought the first three DVD's before the con ended...

Chloe's Secret?

Have you actually built a mini Kirika shrine, and if so, may we see it?

If not, I may build one and take pictures.

Another one.

When you walk into a video game store and see a DS game called Whack A Mole, you think Whack A Nun.

Yikes, me too.

My 2nd "Noiriversary" will be on May 8th.   Yes, I've actually taken to celebrating a "Noiriversary".

Of course, Noir and I were just seeing each other casually for a few months before that...  8)

Ah, I use a version of that for "Altena", since, really, all of my systems tie in to "her" somehow.

I'll have to dig up the online versions of the others.  For Chloe I'm using this awesome cel of her on the rooftop during a lightning strike after the "Final Guidance".  The others are just using some of the cool promo shots from the artbook.

My computers at home and at work are noired up. I use this wallpaper. At startup they play that "tata" you can hear as K&M kill Don Gleone or during the courtyard scene in "The true Noir". At shutdown - of course "Lullaby", the instrumental part. And if an error occurs, you can hear a vocal version of "Salva Nos".

My mobile phone has as background a beautyfull picture of Mireille, smiling as she meets her uncle. The ringtone is "Melodie - Salva Nos Version".

I had fun to figure out that I spent my holidays at Corsica to that time as Noir was aired in Japan. I fell in love with that island, so you can be sure, one day I'll "Return to Corsica".

Surprisingly it must have happened to me around the same time, because it was the time as Noir was aired in Germany.

You definatly have watched too much Noir if you plan to make Noir the theme for the customizing of your next bike.

Ooh wow. That's just, wow. Maybe I'll do that sometime.. like when I get a faster computer. Or figure out how to do that. *shrug*  Whichever comes first.

More too muches:

- While taking a quiz for Julius Caesar, you notice that the teacher misspelled Marullus and made it Marellus. You were disappointed Mireille wasn't a Ceasar conspirator.

- You read the book How to be Lost by Amanda Eyre Ward and upon reading the middle of chapter five, it says James wore a cologne called Drakkar Noir. You end up drawing a cute picture of Chloe wearing it to impress Kirika. [I'll upload it later]

OMG, I got a bottle of that for some xmas gift from an aunt or something 20 years ago, and it was the most foulest, most disgusting bit of chemical-in-a-bottle I'd ever received in my life.

Please don't tell me anyone actually liked how that obnoxious stench smelled!!

(because if it was likeable, that would explain the last 20-something years)

Oh good. Cause I kinda drew these bugs die from the stench. :D

If I had the "rank" mod installed, you'd get the highest marks for this...  :D

Like I said before... "Critical Party Density"....  The more, the merrier.  :)

You've been watching too much Noir when:

- You have had dreams where you encountered or became any one of the characters from Noir...

*shyly raises hand* I've had one of each...

So here's my drawing of that Drakkar Noir thing:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v630/BaraFenshi/Anime/1df81d75.jpg

Sorry about the size, couldn't make it any bigger. And as you can tell, there are many erasures. I guess this one got lucky and became one of my somewhat rare 'good' drawings.

And I realize that's not the correct bottle. It looks more like that Chanel No. 5 one. But *shrug* perfume's not my thing. Never will be.

Ah, but you have the "stink lines"...

That's not only important, but accurate, as far as "Drakkar Noir" goes... :P

(I still gag thinking about it... Yuck!)

Hm. I'm curious as to how bad it smells. Maybe I'll get it for one of my friends next time and see if they cringe. :]

Two more:

- You are firmly convinced your bathroom is a portal to the Manor because it seems like time passes much slower in there compared to the outside world. When you think you've been in there for 5 minutes, it's really been 20. :D

- You realize you can make a Noir remix out of Nightwish's song Nemo. (which happened to be my AMV)
http://www.geocities.com/untruenoir/NemoNoirRemix.WAV

Well.. it's not really a remix so much as Noir dialogue being added, so there are some cruddy spots. But meh, I like it.
