RainThe rain came down.

Todd, seated uneasily on a plastic chair by the window, gazed pensively out into the grey-green wetness. A roll of thunder made him twitch, then he resettled back into his seat, looking left and right nervously.
The library was empty. The last day of October, it was only part way into the final school term, and so the students had not begun the panicked immigration into the study areas. They would probably be inside a classroom, or outside, deliberately disobeying teachers' orders to stay dry.
Still (and here he shifted uncomfortably again) there should be at least one or two people in the library. The silence forced h

平静前面我
双喝茶内家
熹下午雨晒
第一蜩嗡夏
在热之间手
輕和风吹茶
不喝你充我
我不懂˹寂寥˼

English:

I have peace before me:
together drinking tea at home.
This warm afternoon dries rain,
And first

Oboroge rekitei: Part 5When drawn by hand, a circle has a beginning.

This set of travels ends where it began: at a window seat, watching constellations change and shrink in the night sky below metal wings.
And yet the mist refuses to part: Am I going home? Or leaving? Was there ever a beginning? An end? Or have I wandered through the fog for an eternity, only dreaming of these imaginary concepts, 'dawn' and 'dusk'?

By the roadside now
Four walls and a simple roof
Look familiar

May I call it home?

Oboroge rekitei: Part 4And as the days wind back and the summer heat fades, I feel I am leaving these hidden paths. The days become shorter, the nights colder; I want my cola warm with ginger, not cold and floating lemon. Through the mist I can glimpse familiar sights:

the jacaranda
has spread a purple carpet
for my arrival

I know it will be there when I leave these skyscraper mountains for the hills of home. And yet... I wish to remain lost in Hong Kong fog forever.

Oboroge rekitei: Part 3Have I truly arrived? Each day is movement: a network of trains, like a nest of dragons, whirl me from Hong Kong to Sha Tin to the Peak, until I do not remember if I am poet or butterfly or dreaming as harbour fades to fields of sand to victory's mountain. I wake in the markets

the turtle struggles
legs bound tight, eyes jewelled with tears
below are twelve more

Did I wake to a nightmare? A bowl of soup, of noodles and swallows' clouds blows the bad dreams away, and the yin and yang of a cup of tea and coffee warms me. Steam rises like mist from the surface, and I see it, bamboo forests and the giant Buddha. Then I remember to breathe and

Oboroge rekitei: Part 2Fly with me now. We find our way by reading the constellations of lights below and forgetting those stars above. Through the cold and dry travel, skipped like a stone over the surface of an ocean of white cloud.
And then, all becomes clear:

gazing through water
a city sunken below
the air of Asia

I see Hong Kong glitter beneath the cloud's surface. I have arrived, but where? There are no ends, only beginnings of misty passages.

Submission for the =KoiCosplay ID contest.

I haven't had so much fun in ages!!!!! It's so bright! And... and... colourful! And... *is shot*

Okay, hopefully this is a valid entry, since I drew it and every other ID I've seen so far is a photo-manip.

*DISCLAIMER*:
I apologise to all related parties. This includes Masashi Kishimoto, the Koi cosplay members, for drawing them really badly (and in some cases, not looking like them at all) and to all Naruto/ Koicosplay fans out there. I'M SORRY!!!!

Especially to Kariana, whose Tsunade is kinda hidden... my excuse is that I was unable to find a picture of her as Tsunade! *is shot repeatedly*
Yeah, bad excuse, I know.

Anyways, here's my entry.

-
(From left to right)

as Kakashi

as Tsunade

as Gaara

as Sasuke

as Naruto

as Sakura

as Kimimaru

as Tobi/ Obito

All the costumes come from pictures the =KoiCosplay team have taken.

-----------------------------------
Yes, that is a Kisame-fish Tobi is selling thar. Why only one? They are a cannibalistic species.
And yes again, that IS a pedobear plushie. Go figure that Kakashi is the shop-owner.

This picture had 57 layers.

I love how the Kisame fish looks like it's wants to eat the Itachi the Sakura is holding.

This is really nice! Favorite! <3
