  Wwaaaa? No way

  777 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 29/03/04 18:54

  There’s no reason to say no.

  778 Name: Train Man ♦ SgHguKHEFY Post Date: 29/03/04 18:55

  Oh . . . right . . . it could be a guy

  I can’t tell her no, tho

  799 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 29/03/04 19:13

  I guess if it were a girl then she’d have said that she has a ‘girlfriend’ that wants to meet you . . .

  I’m hoping it’s just my reading too much into it

  800 Name: Train Man ♦ SgHguKHEFY Post Date: 29/03/04 19:14

  >>799

  whoops. jogged my memory. She did say girlfriend. (´▪ω▪`)

  801 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 29/03/04 19:15

  So it’s definitely her girlfriend.

  807 Name: Train Man ♦ SgHguKHEFY Post Date: 29/03/04 19:34

  got a reply from her already! ahyeah--- !

  quick! way quick Lady Hermes!

  not only that

  ‘Woowee, thanks ’ was her reply

  she don’t sound like b4 pant pant

  828 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 29/03/04 20:23

  >Mr Train

  You should try to reply quickly to her e-mail

  If you let too much time pass there’s a chance she won’t reply

  845 Name: Train Man ♦ SgHguKHEFY Post Date: 29/03/04 20:36

  just sent my reply

  wonder what her friend’s like

  I can’t wait

  849 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 29/03/04 20:38

  well normally in these type of scenarios, Hermes is bringing her girlfriend so they can gossip about you (sorry for the expression) pretty sure that’s the real story

  875 Name: Train Man ♦ SgHguKHEFY Post Date: 29/03/04 20:51

  another reply from her!!

  ‘sorry for the delay’

  she says when she’s nowhere close!!!?!?!?

  she’s known her girlfriend since school, she said

  and it’s now definitely a girl --

  880 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 29/03/04 20:53

  Introducing you to a close friend!!!!!!!

  no way!

  884 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 29/03/04 20:53

  if this is the case then >849’s theory is dead right

  886 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 29/03/04 20:54

  girls get talkative around guys they’re interested in.

  well, I’m just sayin this coz of your e-mail exchanges

  girlfriends are really bitchy so if she thought her girlfriend wasn’t gonna

  like you, she wouldn’t let her meet you.

  889 Name: Train Man ♦ SgHguKHEFY Post Date: 29/03/04 20:55

  boy it’s been a long journey . . .

  899 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 29/03/04 20:57

  she must have told her friend about being ‘saved’ by you

  and I’m sure that made her ask to meet you.

  I hope you can just enjoy yourself without thinking too much

  191 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 30/03/04 20:19

  and . . .

  when are you gonna tell her . . . ?

  194 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 30/03/04 22:21

  Moomin please explain to us why there will be two of you

  Hey people. We set our date

  first week of April

  113 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 31/03/04 22:46

  what’s the vibe you’re goin for this time?

  117 Name: Train Man ♦ SgHguKHEFY Post Date: 31/03/04 22:48

  >>113

  good question

  I’m not sure which way to go

  142 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 31/03/04 23:06

  If you’re going for a fresh vibe . . . how about a light green or light blue top with white trousers? Stick with lighter colour trousers and if you’re wearing trainers then something with some blue?

  this being my sense of style, of course (´A`)

  First time we met I had a brown-black thing going on

  When I saw her the other day, I was kinda peachy

  The first time we met, I looked kind of structured and then the second time, I kind of fluffed out.

  196 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 01/04/04 00:46

  The other day some girls at work were yapping on about how they ‘absolutely don’t want a boyfriend that wears Uniqlo stuff’. I’d recommend United Arrows or Ships.

  http://www.united-arrows.co.jp/

  197 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 01/04/04 00:50

  But haven’t Arrows gone Uniqlo on us lately?

  198 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 01/04/04 00:50

  likewise with Beams

  199 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 01/04/04 00:58

  If it looks good on you it doesn’t matter where you bought it

  201 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 01/04/04 01:05

  a guy at work who’s popular with the ladies swears by Uniqlo

  203 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 01/04/04 01:05

  Let this man speak on behalf of the board

  ‘It doesn’t matter which brand you choose’

  204 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 01/04/04 01:06

  Tho Comme Ça is Comme Ça I’d recommend Comme Çaism for Train because it’s a bit better than Uniqlo and above all, cheap

  Remember not to get anything with a logo tho

  309 Name: Train Man ♦ SgHguKHEFY Post Date: 02/04/04 20:13

  Respect. I went out and bought all the stuff in preparation for the day.

  It’s got a breezy cool vibe going on.

  did you guys decide on a place?

  320 Name: Train Man ♦ SgHguKHEFY Post Date: 02/04/04 20:40

  >>319

  decision made

  it’s apparently Western food

  321 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 02/04/04 20:42

  Western . . . watch your table manners, yeah

  don’t hold the knife with your wrong hand and make slurping noises when you eat soup.

  >>321

  shiver shake shiver shake tremble tremble

  331 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 02/04/04 20:56

  Manners . . .

  when eating soup, push the spoon outwards away from you to scoop!

  bring your mouth forward to the spoon to eat!

  do not make any noise (absolutely no slurping!)

  use the knife farthest from the plate (for formal dining)

  unless it’s dessert or coffee, then you start with the one closest to the plate

  napkins should be placed on your lap, leaving one third folded over (I think)

  I’ll write more if I think of anything

  But it may be better to not worry about stuff like this and instead be honest like ‘I’m not used to coming to places lik
e this . . . I eat Japanese most of the time’

  344 Name: Train Man ♦ SgHguKHEFY Post Date: 02/04/04 21:46

  I looked up some info on table manners

  I think I’ve got the conversation end covered . . .

  We’ve been e-mailing over the last few days getting a bit pumped up

  371 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 02/04/04 22:15

  getting pumped up over e-mail? what d’you talk about?

  do you know if Hermes has a boyfriend?

  377 Name: Train Man ♦ SgHguKHEFY Post Date: 02/04/04 22:19

  >>371

  I’m not sure if she has a boyfriend or not but

  we chatted about our selves

  every time she mentions me to her friend, the friend says

  ‘I can’t wait to see him’

  what do you do with that kind of expectation . . .

  383 Name: Train Man ♦ SgHguKHEFY Post Date: 02/04/04 22:23

  we joked over the phone too

  ‘Were you being a hero on the train again?’

  and such

  387 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 02/04/04 22:25

  >>383

  ‘Were you being a hero on the train again?’

  I’ve put that into the Hermes word bank

  I’m sure some crafty dude will upload some Tamaki Ogawa pics and link the word bank to em.

  388 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 02/04/04 22:26

  what kind of clothes did you buy?

  394 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 02/04/04 22:34

  The cherry blossoms could be peaking tomorrow. You could probably take a walk after dinner to check them out.

  I think it’s what’s called a pullover

  I’m happy for you

  and a little sad

  482 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 02/04/04 23:44

  OK, I admit it. At first, I thought Train Man was a wimp. I mean, he was taking forever just to work up the courage to call and thank her but I thought we should stick by him and cheer him on. But now he’s gone further than I could have imagined. Looks like I’ll always be a step behind . . .

  493 Name: Train Man ♦ SgHguKHEFY Post Date: 02/04/04 23:48

  as always, I wonder if this is a dream

  I’ve completely changed from what I was a month ago

  please don’t let me wake up from this dream

  What must it be like to get this much support on 2ch maybe we’ll morph into something special if they get it on.

  I reckon we could end up being the unsung heroes (´A`)

  Hey, people!

  Don’t you get the jitters every time you call a girl?

  I do!

  I’m not proud of it but I get it bad!

  so bad I’m jealous of el Tren’s strength . . . .

  567 Name: Train Man ♦ SgHguKHEFY Post Date: 03/04/04 00:18

  Done. Went along nicely. Even talked about films

  I turned my phone off

  I’m lending her a DVD.

  I’m off!

  I’ll think carefully about the bag!

  laters

  Train Man’s second time out on the battlefield couldn’t even compare to his first time. Even as the clock ticked precariously close to midnight there was no sign of Train Man’s return. While they waited, a heated discussion went on as the netizens imagined Hermes as a round and soft type or a sharp and beauty-conscious type. Just as their imaginations were about to take off, Train Man returned.

  797 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 03/04/04 23:46

  hold off on the bomb shelter and focus on piling sandbags . . .

  and step on it with the anti-aircraft missiles!

  It’d be way too late if we wait for the bombers . . . .

  So, I went out to get a bag to carry the Matrix DVD with me. I basically thought it’d be ok if it was big enough for the DVD so I bought a nice little bag like I’ve never bought before. I guess it’s what’s called a tote bag. I bought it and went straight to where we were going to meet.

  I got there 30 minutes early.

  I waited for 30 minutes in place.

  Just like last time, she was just a little bit late.

  No joke, she was just as cute as the last time. Made me wanna rise to the occasion if you know what I mean.

  She had on a denim jacket and a skirt layered in whites and pinks.

  She looked much younger than last time.

  . . . and she was wearing pig tails!!!!!

  My favourite

  not to mention her make-up which looked much more carefully applied this time . . .

  ‘Sorry I’m late’ she bounced over to me.

  ‘No worries at all.’

  Her friend was running late so we decided the two of us should head to the restaurant first.

  854 Name: Anonymous Post Date: 04/04/04 00:13

  Since she was the one leading me to the restaurant I made sure I walked a bit behind her.
