I think ‘Since I was having dinner with a girl for the first time, I did my research’ basically is synonymous with ‘I’m a virgin.’

 

337 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 04/04/04 03:03

Hold it!

There is a chance that she might not think too hard about ‘Since I was having dinner with a girl for the first time, I did my research’ . . .

At the rate Train’s going now, anything is possible . . . . . .

Hermes might actually think it’s sweet a man trying to transform himself for her.

morning people ´A`))

unlike what we expected, we didn’t suffer that many casualties, eh but Train’s battle is yet to come

I think he should wait a bit before telling her he loves her but

He should take her on a hardcore date just to suss out Hermes’ true feelings about him. I live out in Chubu so I’ll leave it to the sexy Kanto folk to come up with the location . . . (´A`)

at an observatory looking out over the city lights at night

Lady Hermes

‘Isn’t that beautiful . . . ’

Train Man

‘This is my favourite spot . . . ’

Lady Hermes

‘Really . . . thank you so much for sharing such a place.’

Rain Man

‘Of course, I shared it only because it was you, Lady Hermes’

Lady Hermes

‘(laughs) That makes me happy.’

 

After a moment of silence both hands brush against one another out of the blue

Brain Man

‘Oops, I’m so sorry (he suddenly pulls hand away)’

Lady Hermes

‘(in muffled voice) . . . you didn’t have to pull away’

Sprain Man

‘Wha . . . ’

Drain Man

‘Umm . . . Lady Hermes?’

Lady Hermes

‘Y . . . yes . . . ’

 

(both hearts beating wildly)

Grain Man

‘I . . . umm . . . I . . . actually . . . have for a long time . . .’

Lady Hermes

‘Hold on. Can I please finish that sentence first?’

Plain Man

‘Y . . . yes.’

 

(here, Lady Hermes leans towards Train Man)

Lady Hermes

‘Ever since you came to our rescue on the train, I’ve liked you, Mr Train . . . and even though I am older . . . . I’ll do my best to keep up . . . so please, will you be my boyfriend?’

 

(Train pulls Hermes in close)

Stain Man

‘If you’re happy with a silly thing like me, then I’d ask you myself, to be my girlfriend.

Lady Hermes

‘(giggles) I’m so glad . . . and looking forward to us being together.’

 

They kiss.

The sparkling lights of the city embraced the couple from afar.

As if it were orchestrating a grand send-off . . .

553 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 04/04/04 21:51

I bet while we’re calling Train’s love interest ‘Hermes’, Hermes and her friends are calling Train Ikkun, like the children’s book character.

Friend

‘Ikkun seemed so sweet and nice . . . ’

H

‘Really? Did you really think so?

F

‘It’s pretty obvious that he’s into you.’

H

‘You think so . . . (blushing)’

F

‘You’re e-mailing every night aren’t you? Sounds good to me. Why don’t you do the boyfriend-girlfriend thing’

H

‘But, but I could have got it wrong . . . Ikkun is kind to everybody . . . ’

F

‘There is absolutely no way that could be it . . .’

 

And much more . . .

And here exists an ecstatically happy me, glad to see you budding and leaving the lair and another, really sad and lonely ME . . . you get me . . .

sorry, catching up

I was talking to a friend on the phone

And just as I worked myself up to tell her how I felt about her

she sensed something in the air and told me that she ‘wasn’t interested’.

There was a girl at work who I fancied so one day I got up the nerve to talk to her. ‘I’d like to talk to you,’ I said, after which she looked at me like I was a worm and walked off.

I fell for this girl, a friend of a friend who came out to a bar with a bunch of us, I kept it simple and just asked her if she’d like to go out with me.

She replied ‘I’m not sure about the going out bit but why don’t we start out as friends.’ 2 weeks later she told me ‘I don’t think it’s going to work out.’

Then there was this girl at college, we were in the same club, she was younger and seemed to look up to me so one day when we were alone, I asked her to go out with me. She refused saying that she ‘couldn’t see me as a man.’

And that’s the way the cookie crumbles . . . (´A`)

I just realised but Train’s ‘Since I was having dinner with a girl for the first time, I did my research,’ could be interpreted as ‘I dig Hermes’

If he was just being polite it wouldn’t mean dinner and doing his research.

I bet you Lady Hermes has figured it out already.

But I reckon it helps style the hair into the shape you want?

If you twist your hair, then the ends kind of stick together then split up in small bunches, going one way or another.

That’s it.

It’s called Easy Hair --- it looks kind of messy but at the same time kind of cool and styled. You’ve seen it on the boys from the in crowd.

Probably, that is . . . .

I was just at the corner shop thinking about getting some stuff before heading home when I spotted a woman asking the assistant for directions.

Being a local, I asked where she was headed and since I knew where it was I walked her over.

Once there, the lady thanked me loads and asked for my name and address but I told her it was only natural to help out someone in need and told her that there was no need for her to thank me and just left.

I guess you’re not gonna be telling her how you feel for a while, which means we’re in for a long battle-! But it looks to me when I hear what Hermes is saying, that she knows how Train feels and that she’s struggling to come to terms with it.

If you tell her now, she may say ‘let me think about it’ . . . at least that’s how it looks to me.

Honestly, Mr Tren doesn’t need our help anymore.

We’re gonna fall victim to Tren’s anti-depression bombs and get depressed ourselves as we retreat back into our gloomy thread.

It could be that we’re finally returning to our true states.

291 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 17/04/04 08:45

. . . blessed us with a visit after some shut-eye Mr Tren, eh . . .

First let me just charge straight into this commuting together bit tho it may get long . . . can’t you try . . . even if it’s difficult for you . . . to commute with her? You don’t have to worry too much about your work clothes. All you have to wear is a basic suit, no? If you don’t own a lot of suits, just get 7 or so shirts and that way even if you don’t do laundry every day, you’ll have enough to wear something different every day

I think that even if it is a bit on the difficult side, you should step up as a man and be her knight in shining armour. These perverts on the train tend to really terrify women and you can’t escape the fact that you’ve been knighted as the Train Man already. If saving her from a drunk was the reason you met, then why not step up to the task for real!

And as far as boyfriends are concerned, if the conversation went this way it must mean she doesn’t have one. Besides, if she had a boyfriend, she would never complain about not having anybody to go restaurant-hopping with. She’d also be asking her boyfriend to protect her from the train perverts, no?

Train, this is your chance!

You can see Hermes every day!

If you do, then you can get to know her better and better!

You figured out last week that you can basically talk about ‘anything’, no?

Well, I’m sure the story is that Train has to get to work earlier than Hermes but . . . I think you should attempt the first two days of the week by asking your work whether you can come in a bit late on those days.

If you do end up commuting together, I think you will score extra points.

Mr Tren, this is the way to go (plant your flag dude).

What in the world have we . . . created

Could anybody have imagined he’d grow into such a beast?

In the beginning, it was just curiosity and perhaps a bit of sympathy.

Once he accepted our helping hand and heartfelt encouragement he then powered-up, got stronger and built upon that strength on his own.

And now, he has turned into a monster who has the power to crush us with his toenail.

I can’t tell if this is a victory or a defeat for us . . .

The fact that we have given birth to a monster who has far exceeded any of our hopes has nothing to do with our achievement as such, for what we did was merely awaken something that lay dormant in him, an instinct.

And so yes, in fact, yes, we have been defeated, we are forever chained to the cycle of defeat.

I’m not sure what the general vibe was so I may be reading too much into it but from Train’s comments, I get the feeling the morning commute situation is on the back burner for now.

And, about fighting off the train-pervs—well, instead of handing her a printout, I think it’d be better if you’d just told her what you knew.

That said, with Hermes’ massive good impression of Train, don’t think any of this even dents it . . .

960 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 18/04/04 02:19

971 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 18/04/04 02:21

mostly agree

I mean there are train pervs everywhere and even if someone cops a feel, it’s a shock when it happens, but you put it behind you, so if a guy (and especially a guy you kinda dig) ends up stressing about it, then it blows all out of proportion and becomes worse than it actually is . . . so we should drop it . . . . . . . . .is my advice, after a long absence . . .

Lady Hermes is definitely waiting for Train to tell her he’s falling for her!

Most women are the type that just waits to be told coz they can’t get themselves to say it!

They only own up once you’re in the relationship! Unfair man, unfair! Definitely.

581 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 18/04/04 04:03

lastly, I’d like to offer some words of advice to Train . . .

Women are strange creatures . . .

When you’re told to never come round it means that you need to get your ass over to her even during a typhoon or when a nuclear bomb is about to drop, and when you’re told you don’t need to walk her back, you need to hold her hand even tighter and insist on walking her back.

When you take the words at face value then they complain and pout that you don’t ‘understand women.’

And when you try to push through something they seriously don’t want to do, then they will consider you weird.

This is the way of the woman . . . and I tell ya, it took me a while to figure it out.image

 

Most agreed that things were flowing smoothly and that Hermes was going to be an easy catch. The Geeks were now on the offense after a long period of constantly being under attack but what they were lacking was the final bomb aimed at Hermes. Was Hermes really going to fall? Were they all going to quickly withdraw without planning the final blow?
