Random Guilty Gear stuff

Fun things I got to wake up to this morning: saqra drew me some lovely art to go with that ridiculous Sol/Ky belts idea I posted earlier this week. ♥♥♥ (Flustered chibi-Ky and sweatdropping Sol FTW!) Meanwhile, apparently the idea got to narazale at 3AM a few nights back and got us another version too. XD Now all I need is to find someone willing to do the doujinshi version and I'm all set. *g*

In other GG news, even though we're still not quite done with the manga, there's not too much more I can do with it right at the moment (I haven't forgotten about it, I swear! I've totally got ch. 9 almost translated, I'm just waiting for another translator to get back to me about ch. 8 >.>), so I went ahead and made a start with the next project I was going to have a crack at translating - namely the three Night of Knives drama CDs. So far I'm up to about the fifth track of the first CD (though I badly need to get jaseroque of the Much Better Working Japanese Skills to go back over what I've done so far and help me fill in some bits I couldn't figure out and correct all my mistakes before it'll be much use to anyone), but I keep sort of stopping to go "oh my god, when did translating get this easy? =D" No more of this fiddly messing around with bad quality scans of kanji I've never seen before, oh no - this time I've got hold of the complete Japanese script (plus the mp3's, of course), so with that + Rikai-chan, translating most lines is suddenly as easy as running the mouse over each tricky word and noting down the English version as I go *happy sigh*. The story's been really interesting so far too - I swear there's more information about Millia and Zato's relationship alone in the first scene than the whole rest of the series put together. Of course, I've also heard the reason the translator who did the other drama CDs didn't translate this one was because he didn't think so much of it, which makes me wonder if it's set to start dragging out and go downhill at some point, but for now I'm happy to wait and see.
