This thread grew like wildfire. I remember I was here when this thread wasn't even created. I come back 3 weeks later... OMG?! It got 3399 posts?! In this DAY only, I've been reading this WHOLE THREAD. I think for a total of 6-8 hours. 'Course... I was saving some pics...BUT ANYWAYS. I'm only on post 761. I need 2638 more posts to go. That's wasting 8 hours everyday for 4 days just to catch up to this page. And it will most likely grow by another 5 (at least) pages in that time.
Sorry, I want to help in any way I can, but I just can't keep up with this. Others probably feel the same way. We should DEFINATELY get a seperate thread for the images, volume/character discussions.. etc.
...I know who you are, but what's Book saying about you?
Oh it was actually just something that popped in my head At first I was just going to say something like "Hey Beanbrew, Discreet, you guys make a nice tagteam" but then my mind wandered off and I felt like combining the names, so you know Discreet Beanbrew.. but that sounded like some secret drug, then I remembered your official name "Beanbag" and the thought of some beanbag being discreet made me lol hard with the stick legs and arms, and yeah Don't worry about it, it's just my silly imagination.

Spoiler for Ryo v.s. Yuu EPIC:
In an instant, a diagonal, metallic-white, crescent-shaped light flashed in front of Asakura . In addition to naturally blinking at it, I squatted down by instinct from the sound of a metal blade swishing in the air. When I heard something seem to cut into the teacher’s desk behind me, I scrambled halfway towards the door and faced Asakura.
Smiling pleasantly, Asakura, still facing the blackboard, now before the teacher’s desk, had a straight, mid-length, metal blade that was sharp enough to cut into the wood of the teacher’s desk and get stuck in it. It was some kind of old Japanese sword, maybe a katana, but the blade was straight… A ninja-tou, an assassin’s blade.
I was very lucky to suddenly be granted with those ninja-senses. Because right now I'm on the ground on my backside, looking palely at Asakura.
Why didn't he give chase?
......No, wait! What on Earth's going on? Why is Asakura trying to slice me in half? Wait a second, what was it had he just said? He wants to kill me? Kill?! But, why!?
I could already tell by how he butchered the teacher’s desk that he was serious, but I could only say this trademark sentence of mine.
"Wha - that was dangerous! Even if that were a fake sword, I’d still be freaked as hell! Put that thing away!"
I was really confounded. If someone knows what's going on, please come out and explain to me!
"I know that you know that I’m very serious." Asakura said in a very cheerful tone, not sounding very serious at all. Now that I think about it, a muscular high school guy smiling while brandishing a samurai-age sword is really scary... Looking at it another way, it’s also kinda hot, but at that moment I had no time for thoughts like that. So now you know how frightened I was.
"Hmph…"
Asakura forcefully pulled the blade out of the desk, swiped the blade once to get off the splinters and saw dust, and patted his shoulder with the dull side of the ninja-tou.
"You don't like dying? You really don't want to die? The death of organic entities means nothing to me."
Asakura is supposed to be the responsible class rep, who would only talk when necessary in class, and wouldn't go nuts even when faced with a problem. Why would he carry a ninja’s blade and say he wants to kill me all of a sudden?
Yet I need to remember the fact that that sword is real, because if I wasn't careful that time, I would be in two pieces over a red puddle right now.
"I’m not getting anything from what you’re saying. This isn't funny anymore, OK? It was never even funny to begin with! Put it away!"
At this moment, I was close to tears.
"I cannot do that. Rather, I’d rather not do that." Asakura smiled his usual innocent smile, "Because I really want you dead."
He held his sword outwards to his right, blade facing back, and started rushing towards me. He's freaking fast! This time I was prepared, because long before Asakura made his move, I had set sights on escaping through the classroom door - yet I ended up slamming into a wall.
????
That's strange, I can’t find the knob, where'd the door go? Even the windows are gone! There were supposed to be windows on the wall facing the corridor, now it's just a thick grey wall. It’s like a cave in here!
Impossible!
"It's futile."
Asakura's voice grew closer from behind.
"I now have control of this area of space, so all exits have been blocked. It was quite easy actually, all I needed to do was tamper with the molecular structure of this school building and I can change its matter at will. This room has now become a sealed room, and there's no way in or out now. Your crying can’t even be heard outside this room."
I turned around and noticed that the sunset has gone as well. The whole room is surrounded by concrete walls, leaving only the white lamps shining coldy on the desks.
This can't be happening!
Asakura's silhouette moved slowly towards me.
"I advise you to stop resisting; your death is inevitable."
"......Who are you, really?"
No matter where I looked, there was a grey wall. There's not a single door, a single window, nothing! Is something wrong with my brain? Could this be just a dream? Could Mitsuru be changing behind me as I embarrassingly snore? Oh great, I can’t think straight and my priorities are mixed up!
I frantically moved between the desks, trying to get as far from Asakura as possible. Yet Asakura calmly walked towards me in a straight line, moving the desks and chairs from his path at will, as if he had some sort of telekinetic forcefield around him. Compared to him, my path was always blocked by the desks.
This cat and mouse chase didn't last long, and eventually I was cornered.
If that's the case......
I decided to take a risk and threw a chair at Asakura, yet the chair turned in the air right in front of him, and flew off to the other end of the room. How can this be possible!?
"Impressive strength for a petite girl, but strength does not matter when against my kind. Didn't I tell you it's futile? Everything in this room now moves according to my will."
Wait... Wait!
What is going on here? If this isn't a joke or a prank, and neither me nor Asakura are crazy, then what is going on?
I have to kill you, and see what sort of reaction Suzumiya Haruki would have.
Why is it Haruki again? Haruki, my, aren't you getting a bit too popular?
"Sigh… I should've done this to begin with."
My body froze after Asakura said that, literally. Hey cheapo, that’s not fair!
My feet are rooted to the ground like a tree, unable to move. My arms are fixed like a wax statue - I can't even move my fingers. My face, stuck pointing towards the ground, could see Asakura's indoor shoes slowly entering my field of vision. Dammit, my nose itches!
"Once you die, Suzumiya Haruki is bound to have some sort of reaction. This might create a massive data explosion from which we could salvage something. This could be the chance in a lifetime for us."
I don't really care about that, ya know!
"Now die."
I could feel Asakura readying his ninja-tou. Where would he start? Beheading, straight across, into the gut? Maybe he’ll…ugh…toy with me? If I knew how I was going to die, I could at least be prepared. At least let me close my eyes...... No, I ’m unable to. W... what's this!?
I suddenly felt the air shake. The blade began to fall upon me......
At this moment, the ceiling gave out a loud cracking noise, followed by debris falling down. Some of which fell on my head – Ouch, Dammit! I was covered in white dust by the large amount of continuously falling debris, so I guess Asakura is covered in white as well. I wanted to see what the bastard looked like now, but I couldn't move......no, wait! I can move again!
I lifted my head and discovered......!
A shocked Asakura - just as he's about to behead me from my right side with a right-handed grip on the sword, as I suspected. Standing in front though, blocking the sword with his right forearm, making a cut in his uniform’s sleeve and his own arm, is the modestly masculine figure of Nagato Yuuki.
(Wow, the blade isn’t even barely doing to his arm what it did to that desk.)
"Your programs are too basic." Nagato said in his usual expressionless tone,
"The data lockdown around the ceiling area was a defense with holes, not complex enough. That is why I was able to discover it and enter."
"You want to get in my way? In the way of the objective?" Asakura sounded calm. "Once I kill this girl, Suzumiya Haruki is bound to have some sort of reaction, slight or major. Only then can we obtain more data."
"You are supposed to be my backup. Any independent action with risks of major interference must go through me, or be commanded by me before being executed." Nagato said in a mantra-like tone, "This sort of insubordination is forbidden; you must obey commands given to you."
"Tch. And what if I refuse?"
"Simple, then I will disconnect your data interface."
"Care to try? I have the advantage here, since this classroom belongs to the scope of my data control."
Nagato then spoke what sounded like garbled, sped up computer code.
"Processing application for data interface disconnection."
As Nagato finished, the ninja-tou blade in his forearm started glowing brightly. Then, like a sugar cube being dropped into a cup of hot tea, it slowly crystallized, dissolved and fell towards the floor like powder.
"!!"
Asakura released the hilt of his sword right before it disintegrated, and kicked at the ground, skidding five meters away on his left heel right before jumping back a few steps and landing on both feet, leaving a skid mark, and a trail of smoke rising from the ground. Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but realize - geez, these guys can’t be human.
As Asakura landed so gracefully after making distance between his opponent, he continued smiling as usual.
The space around began to distort – As far I can describe it. Asakura, the desks, the ceiling, and the floor all shook vigorously; overall, it had the appearance of what seemed like liquid metal, though I couldn't really see that clearly, since it was almost like I was experiencing a seizure.
Just as I saw thick shiny lines which seemed like spears fly through the air, a crystallized explosion occurred in front of Nagato's raised right palm.
The next second, there were continuous crystallized explosions around Nagato, followed by powder dropping onto the ground. The crystallized spear-like objects flew from all directions towards us with lightning-fast speed. It was already a moment later when I discovered Nagato facing those spears with the same speed using inhuman aerial acrobats.
"Don’t move too much."
Nagato dodged Asakura's attacks while pulling my ponytail so that I would kneel and take cover behind him.
"Eeek!"
An unknown object flew over my head and smashed the blackboard to pieces.
Nagato looked upwards a little, and in an instant many icicle-like objects grew from the ceiling and fell towards Asakura's head. Asakura moved away with a speed that couldn't be seen with the naked eye, and instantly an icicle forest formed from the ground.
"There's no way you can succeed in this area of space." Asakura said calmly. He and Nagato stood a few meters apart, staring each other down, while I could only kneel on the ground hopelessly, not daring to stand up.
Nagato stood in front of me with his legs slightly apart, and it's only now that I notice he's so serious that he even wrote his own name on his indoor shoes. Then, as if chanting a prayer, Nagato mumbled softly in that speedy computer code speech,
SELECT serial_code
FROM database
WHERE code='data'
ORDER BY aggressive_combat_data
HAVING terminate_mode
Normal space no longer exists in the classroom. Everything has turned into geometric shapes, appearing twisted or cone-like. Seeing this surreal scenery is like entering one of those theme park house of horrors, I'm getting dizzy already from watching.
"Even if I must be rid of, you shall stop functioning before me."
I have no idea where Asakura's voice is coming from in all this colorful mirage of scenery. I’m close to getting seizures again.
Whoosh! The sound of the wind slicing through the air.
Nagato swung me around by my ponytail towards the floor behind him. I teared up from the pain.
"ACK! Dammit! What are you......"
Before I could finish, there was a spear so fast, I could just barely see it as it went past the tip of my nose and fell on the ground. At least the scratch made my nose stop itching. Ahh.
"We'll see how much longer you can protect that little thing. Try this!"
The next second, Nagato stood in front of me, facing me, impaled by about twelve brownish looking long spears.
"......"
In other words, Asakura attacked Nagato and me from all directions at the same time. Nagato managed to crystallize some of the spears and crush them with the grip of his hand or smash them with his kicks, but trying to prevent me from getting hit by the remaining spears, he'd shielded me with his body. But I didn't know that then, since it all happened so quickly.
Nagato's glasses fell from his face and softly bounced as they hit the ground.
"NAGATO-KUN…NO-!"
"Do not move." Nagato said calmly, with a stern undertone, pointing to the spears stuck in his chest and stomach. A pool of blood began to form under his feet.
"I'm fine, this is minor damage."
God, how can this be fine…Won’t you die from the blood loss or any vital organs that may have been pierced?
Nagato pulled out a spear from where his heart would’ve been without even flinching once. The bloody spear fell onto the ground with a clanking noise, and instantly turned into a desk. So that's what the spears are made from! Nagato could only say “Hm,” at this and turned the rest of the spears into crystallized powder by crushing them with the strong grips of his hands. He did this almost like a robot, with fast machine-like speed and stability.
"Don’t be modest now, with that much damage to your frame I don't suppose you can stop me now. Here's the finisher!"
At the other end of the twisted space, Asakura's silhouette faded in and out. I could see a smile from his face, which slowly grew sinister, as he then slowly raised his hands - if I'm not mistaken, his arms glowed all the way from his fingertips, and then extended to twice as long. No, even more than that...
"Perish!"
Asakura's arms kept on extending, wriggling like a bunch of tentacles, and then closing in from both directions. Holy crap, tentacles, I don’t want an H-scene! I covered my maidenhood. Unable to move, Nagato's figure shook violently...... The next instant, my face was splattered with blood.
Asakura's left arm had thrust into Nagato's right abdomen, while her right arm had thrust into Nagato's left pectoral area, piercing through her back and stopping at the classroom wall. Blood spattered from Nagato's mouth and down along his legs inside his pantlegs, making the blood pool below even wider.
"Muda." Nagato said softly, copying Asakura’s constant “Futile”, then grabbed onto the wide tentacles. Nothing happened.
"Eh?" Asakura said, sounding as though he'd won. "Are you just that self-centered as to get in a meaningless last word as if you’re about to turn the tables?"
"The tables are turning. In my favor. If you were human, you would repent for your unorthadox actions in Hell." said a seriously wounded Nagato, as though nothing had happened to him. "Commencing data interface disconnection. EXECUTE."
Almost instantly, everything in the classroom began glowing brightly, and then crystallized and dissolved within the next second, the desk beside me also turned into sand and collapsed.
"How......"
Crystallized sand fell from the ceiling nonstop, this time it is Asakura's turn to be stunned.
"I will admit, your skills were outstanding."
Nagato's wounds closed up and his blood turned to clear liquid and evaporated.
"It took me quite some time to penetrate the program. But, everything will end now."
"......You had already planted destructive factors around long before I penetrated this place, didn't you? No wonder you seemed rather weak. It was because you used up your attacking data beforehand......" Asakura said despondently as his arms began to crystallize.
"Sigh, it's such a pity, after all I'm just backup. I thought this would be a chance to break free from this deadlock."
Asakura reverted back to his normal classmate self and looked at me cheerfully.
"Hahaha…well well. It was fun, but I lost. It's good for you that you can survive now. But you'd better be careful, the Integrated Data Entity isn't as united as you think, there are quite a number like me with dissenting opinions. It's just like humans, there will be extremists like me next time. And who knows, even those who control Nagato-san might change their thinking and turn to kill you instead. Don’t think that that’ll be unlikely."
He's now covered from chest to toe by the glowing crystallized substance.
"Before that happens, I wish you and Suzumiya-san the best of luck. Farewell. Also, I’m secretly cheering you on."
Erm…uh…whatever that meant… Heheh. (Dammit, I’m not blushing, okay!)
While saying that, Asakura silently dissolved into small sandy dunes. And then, the smaller crystallized sand dunes continued to dissolve until they completely vanished.
Under a rain of crystallized sand, the high school guy known as Asakura Ryo vanished completely from this school.
There was a loud thud, suddenly. I was quick to find Nagato lying on the floor, so I frantically got up.
"Nagato-kun! Hang in there! I'll call an ambulance!"
"There is no need."
Nagato glanced at the ceiling with his usual half-open eyes.
"Physical damage is obsolete to me. Our priority is to restore this area of space back to its original state."
As he finished, the familiar 1-5 classroom reappeared before our eyes. It was like a tape rewinding: everything in the room reverted to the way it had been before.
The blackboard, the teacher's desk, the remaining chairs and desks all grew from the white sand and back to their original form as I had seen before school ended today. I can't describe what was going through my mind then. If I had not seen it with my own eyes, I would've thought all these images were made with state-of-the-art CG special effects.
Windows grew from the walls, with the half-stained glasses intact; the sunset reappeared outside, bathing me and Nagato in an orange-red light. I tried looking inside my desk drawers, all the contents were still there intact, and all the blood that had spattered onto my face had now completely disappeared. This was too amazing. I could only describe it as magic!
"Are you sure you’re okay?"
I knelt beside Nagato who remained lying on the floor. All of the many wounds and holes in his uniform from being impaled by those spears were all gone now.
"As processing power has been converted into data operation, I have just reversed the linking interface for a short while."
Nagato sat up and put his index finger up to the bridge of his nose to push up his glasses, but they weren’t there.
"I forgot to reintegrate my glasses."
"You don’t have to......I actually think…you look kinda cute without ‘em."
I averted my gaze and blushed after I said this while he only said “Hm.” When I looked back, his finger was pushing up a set of glasses.
“…I’d prefer wearing them.”
I got annoyed at this and crossed my arms while I closed my eyes and turned my head the other way with a pouting face.
“W-Well fine then! It’s not like it was a request!”
Nagato then turned at me, suddenly with no glasses, and said,
“If you perfer it so much, then I won’t wear them.”
I wasn’t sure if I wanted to hug him or strangle myself when I blushed harder all of a sudden. This strange feeling.
>:U I still prefer it if Yuuki face on Kyonko chest yo.......but it made me lol with the H scene comment, and the whole Yuuki teasing her.
In fact I lol'd to hard and my little brother was staring at me.
Edit: Un1234l: I AGREE! It's too much of a hassle going back many pages to save images, and such, I think it'd be awesome if we had an image thread, a thread for discussing characters, a thread for just the writing and editting [and handing out cookies] etc.
Well I drew Yuki sitting on genderbent me's lap. They make a cute couple, but now I'm jealous. Of both of them since I'm attracted to...both? Course I love Yuki to death but yeah....o-o
Man this thread is really...o-o My mind is like beyond fixing.

Genderbent me would totally be like: "I would grope you Haruhi style, but to do that I'd have to touch you." I ended up looking a little like Konata but I wanted to keep my sleepy eyes. And Konata definitely falls into "attractive" so it's all good.
I only found out about this project yesterday, and I've spent the last two days reading through this entire thread and all the image threads I can find. And since the power of Kyonko's ponytail demands my unwavering servitude, I decided I'd chip in with Haruki's shota fanservice film. I'm part way through it now, but there are some questions that would be nice to have answered before I finish.
I have yet to see a firm decision from the community about just what Kyonko's feelings are for Mitsuru. Are we going with motherly-sisterly, or younger girl/sempai male, or even something else? It will make a noticeable difference. I have decided to go with motherly-sisterly until I hear otherwise.
The grocer's name: Morimuri Kiyosumi, and the stationary store owner's name: Suzuki Yuusuke. I defer to those with better judgment of Japanese names on how to feminize these names.
Would passers-by that know him refer to him as Mitsuru-kun or -chan? (is -chan too cute for a teenage guy?) (in a chippendale's outfit?)
I have decided to go with the chippendale's outfit for Mitsuru for now. I am not overly attached to this outfit (even though I think it is the proper gender swap for a bunny girl outfit), so if we decide later to switch the outfit, I won't mind making changes.
Should I make a small alteration to the rule of "All characters will be genderswapped" in order to still have women shopping for food? Of course, now there might actually be a draw with a shota chippendale advertising food . Again, I have no problem switching this.
And I can hardly wait to write Kyonko threatening to break the fourth wall of the film to scratch off Itsuko's face for getting too close to a sleeping Mitsuru
Oh hey look, I drew another pic of the Digimon rejectgoggle head Haruki c:
Nothing says manliness like the good ol' Bruce Ironstaunch pose. Although I failed to make it look exactly like it rofl. I'm starting to like drawing him with goggles too =w=
I don't really want to see a female me. I'm not very good-looking and... yeah.
Drawing yourself as the opposite gender anime style of course!
and aha don't worry, anime makes everyone seem hot, I don't really want to see how the IRL genderbent me looks like, not everyone is good looking likeee Jinsoo.

I'd be like Book 4 Nagato inside, and regular Yuki outside, since IRL I'll stare at you and give you the "..." or little to no response. I'd be completely Book for Yuki around Yuki though.

Motherly-sisterly works fine.
It's "-kun". I have yet to see a male character of that age in anime referred to as "-chan".
Genderbending myself is a feat I cannot imagine. It actually sickens me.

I'd be like Hiruma from Eyeshield mixed with Kotomi and Soujirou...like I am now. I basically have different personalities that I use for talking to different people anyway.

Haaaaaay ;(
I could pass as both depending on what I wear anyway c:
I've been trying to hold this in because I'm too afraid of a "Be patient dammit", but I still would like my new works edited to the first post. There was a 2-part rewrite of the old rewrite I made for DoS, and a Nagato vs Asakura. I know you probably didn't really mean it, but you said you were looking forward to them.
You have to wait for Dkelis to update the archive post, not Rockman.
