Update and a poll.

[summercomfort]

I'm so lazy. I do the easy part of the Zodiac Notes update -- the characters (with pictures!), and the page jump. I need to get off my rump and do the enrichment. geh. But while shrinking the pics for the page jump, I realized the meaning of "change fate" that Tony and Mao was talking about while they were running away from the Evil Shrimp on Seagulls --- it's a reference to Chapter 2, where they fell off the temple roof place and Mao changed fate to save them.... perhaps with the help with the jade pendant that Ao pinched?

Anyway.... just wondering--what sort of "Enrichment" would you most want to see?
- More about animals/zodiac, maybe some pictures, etc
- More about the arts - architecture, calligraphy (yes, there's more about that!)
- History, government
- Language (development, use, idioms, etc)
- Something else?
- Stop deluding yourself, Sushu! We don't have time to read the crap you write!

Whatever you can do!
Maybe you could tell us what Mao is saying in Tony's dream where it's raining and Meishuu appears. And there are also sometimes things in Chinese that aren't translated, I think...

Hmm.... well... ::clicks through comic:: I think all of the miscellaneous words have been translated. There's a few that can be guessed: The lettering on Ao's fan says "Ao", the tattoo on Kuang Hu's right shoulder says "Hu". The same character is magically transferred to his rump when he's in animal form. Everyone in their animal form has their animal character on them somewhere. Snake actually has two. Haven't seen Zhong Go's though.

Here's some spelled out Chinese from Chapter 6:
6_8 Bei Hai Xia Jun: North Sea Shrimp Army
6_9 shing shi wan bi: Letter Duty completed
6_16 gande: godfather

Aaahh... That dream sequence. Well, I do have most of it translated, (except for 3 of the last 6 characters... -.-;;), but I need permission to post that online formally. (Afterall, the reason Tochi wrote it so sloppily is so that no one can read it. As in, it's intended to be a bunch of gibberish...)

Once again I am reminded of why I adore the bg pic on 3_16 so much...
