The Anti-social Butterfly
What am I doing here sitting with the little bandit who tied me up and stole my clothes? What’s stopping me from killing you right here, right now?
A whole lot of witnesses?
Wrong.
Him. What is a three-year-old boy doing here?
Oh, Pao? He’s taking pictures, just like everyone else.
Damn. If he weren’t here, the waiters would already be mopping up your blood.
Shikai Hitasura cares about minors? Unbelievable. I never thought you had a single moral fiber in your body.
I’ve one left and it’s fraying fast. When it snaps, so does your pretty little neck.
Stop threatening me. You should be thanking me for trying to save your life.
Save my life? By threatening Quay to come here for a duel? You’re f*ckin’ crazy.
Stop cussing. There are kids below 18 here. Besides, you are crazier. For someone on the run, you sure are making a grand show of it. I mean, SHIKAI WORLD TOUR? Come on! Whether I challenged him or not, Quay would come after your ass if he wanted to. You even left him your damn route. Weirdo.
Think: If he came here to kill you now, you actually have back-up! See what a genius I am?
These strangers are supposed to protect me?
Theoretically, yes. Filipinos are generally a helpful lot. But I’ve only met some of them now, so I can’t be 100% sure.
Some plan you have.
At least I have one. Do you?
… He probably won’t come.
Maybe not. He seems to have a lot more common sense than you do. But I’d start making friends if I were you.
You might be needing reinforcements soon.
Um, hi, I’m … uh, Shikai …
SO? DO I LOOK LIKE I CARE?
Hey, Shuri, I heard he’s not a very nice person.
He does look kind of ev – ACK, HE’S TWISTING MY HEAD!
Luciat here, nice to meet you. I’m an amateur filmmaker and I was wondering if you’d let me film you while you get brutally murdered? I promise to share royalties with the bereaved. What do you think?
Sinag, sino naman daw ang kanong ‘to?
(Sinag, who could this foreigner be?)
Ma at pa. Pagkain lang pinunta ko dito.
(Who knows? I just came for the food.)
Shikai, is it? How about you and me get to know each other better?
VERITAAAS. YOU. ARE. SO getcherdamnmusclesoffme F*CKED!
Don’t worry, Shikai. I’m Pao. I’ll protect you!
Oh, fu – I mean, fudge. Oh, fudge. I like fudge.
Shikai and his not-so-willing chaperone Veritas, flanked by reinforcements from ManikaManila.
Shikai’s Meet & Greet happened in Tiendesitas, Pasig City, right after Veritas issued a challenge to Quay. Quay did not arrive. The rest of the afternoon was spent doing less exciting things, like chasing fashionable dogs.

NOTE TO FRIENDS: Our Joey is currently broken so you may have to wait a bit more for the next updates. She will still try to escape into our world, where there are no headaches or chills and wobbly parts are easily remedied with a little restringing.

Aw, Pao is sooo adorable! X3
Uno was not at the event? There has been a serious lack of Uno recently. Where art thou, my Uno?
Please get well, Joey! The net is a lonely place without you! T_T
September 26th, 2006 - 19:19
I had to go and take care of Joey for a while, sorry. I’ll make an appearance soon!
September 21st, 2006 - 20:06
i’m prolly going to get shot for saying this but …
SHIKAI AND VERITAS LOOK GOOD TOGETHER! X3
*runs for cover*
September 26th, 2006 - 19:56
HEY! Did anyone here see my rocket launcher?
March 26th, 2009 - 22:10
I’ll second that, because they have this certain chemistry. and I like their banter.
but Shikai’s taken. and Veritas…well, she has Uno.
**can’t believe I missed this, and am still commenting. (which doesn’t make any sense). yet I can’t help it, …natuwa lang ako – this photostory was posted on my birthday.XD
September 21st, 2006 - 20:06
fudge… haha….. we used to say that too when we were supposed to say the f word only to notice that the teacher was just right behind us…
September 26th, 2006 - 19:58
Just don’t say the f word! It’s overused (mainly by Shikai) and there are a whole lot more interesting substitutes, say “Mexican jumping beans!”
September 26th, 2006 - 20:00
Or use other f-words, like “Frankfurters!” or better yet, “German Frankfurters!”
September 21st, 2006 - 20:12
AW JOEY GET WELL SOON. *hugs*
September 26th, 2006 - 20:01
Thanks, Janni ~ *hugs*
September 21st, 2006 - 20:29
Oh, I love you very much Veritas. X3 LOL, Shikai.
Joey, get well soooooon!
September 26th, 2006 - 20:05
You love me? Aren’t you a huge Shikai fan?
Joey’s up and well now. Thanks for your well wishes!
September 21st, 2006 - 22:01
Ummmm…fudge.
September 21st, 2006 - 23:23
Dear Joey: Please do not die. Love, GMB
September 26th, 2006 - 20:06
I’M UNDEAD! UNDEAD!
September 21st, 2006 - 23:30
Who woulda thought, ey? Shikai cares about minors! O_O
Hope you feel better soon Joey!
September 26th, 2006 - 20:08
Thanks, Hyae Na! I was looking through my stuff a while back and found the weird Bali dolls we bought at the market. Man, they’re the cutest. I wish I got more than two. :3
September 27th, 2006 - 17:22
lol; visit again once you’re better, and we’ll go shopping for more.
September 22nd, 2006 - 00:36
Uno! Why aren’t you taking good care of Joey? Fix her or you’ll get a grand spanking from me!
Damn, Veritas, you have a mind of a dangerous criminal.
September 26th, 2006 - 20:10
I so am taking care of her! I was able to stare her virus down!
September 22nd, 2006 - 09:11
Haha! Thanks for letting Pao make a cameo appearance here.
*btw, I know he has a big head for his age (I haven’t gotten around to sanding it down and modding it yet), but he’s only 3 and he likes fudge too. hehehe…
Oh noes, you’re sick again? Get well soon!
September 26th, 2006 - 20:11
But Pao is the star of this post! I’m sorry I got his age wrong, will rectify that immediately!
Thanks, Jan, I’m better now!
September 26th, 2006 - 21:24
NP! People think he’s 4 all the time… It’s his big head I’m telling ya!
September 22nd, 2006 - 13:32
Oh my goodness, Shikai is almost the same size as Pao. XD
ManikaManila has grown so much…!
September 26th, 2006 - 20:13
Yeah, a definite improvement from the previous Philippine BJD count which is, um, ONE!
September 23rd, 2006 - 00:55
ROFL. The dog. I remember it quite well. XD
September 26th, 2006 - 20:14
If she wasn’t playing so hard to get, I would’ve fit more of her in the pic!
September 26th, 2006 - 21:24
You got more of her than Pao did. He got a pretty clear shot of her buttocks.
Still a stylish behind though. 
September 27th, 2006 - 13:03
i dunno about the others,
but
PAO IS TEH CUTEST!!!!!!!!!!
September 27th, 2006 - 18:01
Whee~! It’s Shikai! And Veritas! And Pao! Hi Pao! How are you? Whehehehehe~! @_@
NOOOO~! You’re sick again? ;_; Bad sickness… Bad, bad sickness… *tries to smack the sickness but finds out that I can’t* Nooooooo~OOOO!
(Sorry, sorry… hindi pa ako nakakatulog for two days… Whee~… X_@)
