Guess it's about time I introduced myself. I actually registered here waaaay back in January, but didn't do much more than screw with people's highscores in the arcade. Now that prettymuch all my partners in crime from Gatchaman Archives are on here (Hi Springie, TJ, Sosai, etc.!!), this is as good a time as any to start posting. Anyway, my name's Tony and I've been a Gatchaman fan ever since seeing the original uncut version of the show on my Rhino Battle of the planets dvds back in 2001. I grew up on BotP and have always had a fondness for it, but Gatchaman really hooked me in for keeps with its dramatic storylines and realistic violence. Anyway, I have lots of Gatchaman/BotP-related art projects I've made over the past couple years, and I look forward to sharing them with everyone.

Geez, Tony, good to see you here. You'll have lots of fun on Gatchamania!

Hi Tony! I was wondering how long it would take you to post here! It's great to see you around! I think pretty much everyone from the Archives is here... even Daniela! (when she's available) It's great to see you (even though you screwed with my high scores... ) here on Gatchamania!

So good to see you here, too, Tony!

Hi Tony I'm not sure which Archives you mean...i have posted fics on the new fanfic Archives...but then I am a newbie in many ways, but very much a Gatchaman fan with a soft spot for the BOTP series even if I have not watched it in ages...to busy watching gatch! It's good to have some new faces here! P.S I'm the innocent sweet natured swan around here...i can't speak for the others...

BWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA! Nice try Ebony...sweet-natured yes! Innocent??? Nice to meet you Tony!

Nice to meet you Tony. If Ebony is the innocent Swan then You really must believe me I am a very innocent Owl. (Don't listen to TJ, she really has not converted me yet )

*Nooooo! Cloud yells kicking and screaming!* I hold onto that thread of hope that I can find my innocence again. But it sound like, with the introductin of these two, I have no hope at all.

You keep spreading that story around, Ebony, it's going to feel even worse when it comes back to bite you in the chocolate body paint!

Don't worry, CD, you will be writing smut soon... I have it all planned out for you....

CD, you lost all hope the moment you entered the Rubber Room....

Nope, I still feel the thread cutting into my hands. I can still hold on to it and pull myself back. I think

Nice to meet you Tony As you can see th place is inhabited by crazy people

You can't hide... I will find you!!!!!

Are you pointing fingers, FB?

No just stating a fact Tj that we are all crazy

Originally posted by Firebird No just stating a fact Tj that we are all crazy

I have no arguments with that!

I do see a change in CD's posts over the past 2 months...CD your innocent is lost forever darling!!!

CD feels a thread in her hands, but she doesn't know that it's been tied to the underside of the GP... just wait until they use the Firebird!

And then I go into free fall.

Cloud checks back. NO I don't see one there. Maybe it is one of those things I can pull out of (what is it called, I know I read a term for it somewhere) thin air.

#Obi-Wan Kenobi voice# Use the force CD! #Vader rasps# You are on the Dark side now!

Uh, oh, CD! If Amy thinks that you're on the Dark Side, you know it's true!

I guess I could put myself in my BOTP universe, then use my Abilities/Powers to shift into an animal. I could turn into an eagle and fly safely back to the ground.

CD, find something else to transform into! You know what I'm doing to the Eagles!

Be an Eagle, CD! We need to scare Amy off from hurting them! We Swannies are on your side!!!!

Okay, How about a falcon or hawk? But I do like my Eagle form. It is much stronger, freer and can fly much higher.

Go with the Eagle! Go with the Eagle!!!!!!

Eagle it is.

Looks I'll be busy tonight!

Then you will not be finding me. Eagles do not fly at night.

But Owls do.....

Bwahahaha, I hope you have a better flying direction sense than Harry Potter's Owl.

Me too, since Harry's Owl got toasted!

I have a great sense of direction. As long as I can find the North Star at night or the sun by day.

Besides our CD is smarter than Harry's owl

Thank you FB. I'd like to think so, but sometimes I am not so sure.

OF COURSE you are! Now, Hedwig wasn't really *that* smart... so frankly, even Gel Sadra (the dumbest of the Galactor Leaders) was smarter than Hedwig. But CD, you are VERY intelligent. I can tell just by looking at your choice of online companions...

Awwww!

Originally posted by Transmute Jun Me too, since Harry's Owl got toasted!

BTW, I take it hedwig was killed in the last book. I have not read it yet as I am waiting for a copy to make itself available to me. Hopefully Santa will find one for me.

Oh, sorry CD.... didn't mean for a spoiler....

Don't worry, I have been doing my best to not listen, but it is almost impossible not to hear nothing. And everything I heer peeks my interest and makes me want to get my hands on the book even more. I had been hoping to hold off until the Scholastic book club has them on sale but I do not see that happening, (the being able to wait).

Maybe on the day after Thanksgiving there will be an online sale?
