Reformat the thing, Emperor.

it's romantic in it's own litte way

Thanks, Emperor. The pic doesn't make sense, but yeah - it is kinda romantic in a way.

of course it makes sense, Triela and Pino are meant to be ^_^

There's another reason why it doesn't make sense, West. Take a good look.

wat is it becaue both the necklace and the pistol are with Triela and the fact the Pino is still alive? or the very fact that the scene can be interpretted this way

Triela: this is.... Pino's necklace.....
Pino: Now where the hell did i leave that necklace....

Something like that, yes - it's doubtful that either of them would be behaving that way in each other's presence.

I can't recognize which pistol Triela has in this picture, but if the pistol is not the one that Pino took away from her (P230), then it will make sense.
BTW I like the background in this wallpaper. However, the cartoon-coloring of Triela and Pino is not match the background.....

The picture is mean to be symbolic. Pino's back is turned to us. We could take this to imply that he's dead. No longer moving forward, but leaving us in the mortal coil. While Triela stands there contemplating the necklace, and therefore her 'enemy.'

That, and it just looks cool like this.

Wil's amazing analytical prowess strikes again.

You just have to realize when to not take art at face value. Which is a lot of the time as it turns out. Also Triela facing forward implies she's still alive. Kind obvious after my last post, but yeah just thought I would make sure that was squared away.

yeah, it'd hafta be symbolic, considering she also left the necklace with his corpse...
it's a pity that pic is waaaay too low-res (640x457) for a wallpaper.

Yeah, they look like they just broke up after her smelling somebody else's gunpowder on him! :face:

As much as i like being patronized, i was playing on humor on this theory so i have to agree with Wil here.

Your friends at WestNilepedia here to remind you that winners don't smoke... so don't light yourself on fire!

I still don't like the Triela in Il Teatrino...

But well, Wil-sen interpreted it that way, so I think it does makes sense...

I think Pino just gave her the pennant in exchange for her not killing him. Triela is looking at it and thinking to herself, “Who the hell does this guy think he is? I can get better crap then this out of a gumball machine.”

Definately most or all the intepretations make sense... =O

Hmmm... I feel something here, the need to be creative.......
==================================================================

Along the side walk, overlooking a valley of the countryside, a young boy stood face to face with the one person, the one girl, who bested him in a deadly duel.

As the girl stood in a wide stance, the boy named Pinocchio walked toward her, not even showing a hint of aggression. Stopping a small distance away from her, he admired her looks. Pretty Long blonde in pig tails, slightly dark skin tone, mesmerizing blue eyes, and her preferred wardrobe looked good on her two.

Pinocchio took a deep and relaxing breath, feeling the air rush up from the valley to calm him. “Well,” He started in a Zen like manner. “Fancy meeting you here.”

The girl whose name He did not know, looked like she was about to pull a weapon on him. An attempt to do the same thing again which had cost her handgun last time. And she actually did try to reach for her pistol, which hung in a holster underneath her left arm.

Carefully, he pulled a knife from his sleeve with two fingers. Ready to throw it without letting her notice. Just in case things got violent. “I have no intention of fighting with you.” Pinocchio said in a firm manner.

Triela looked at the boy; she knew his name was Pinocchio. And that he worked for Padania. Yes she could not grasp how he could still be alive, and what he wanted from her. She only then observed his full features. Bright blonde hair, normal Italian skin, a strong and muscular body build. It made her realize that Pinocchio was actually strong enough to give her a spot of trouble, instead of her being sloppy. And it was only now that she could observe those features, because she had only seen him in either darkness or in the heat of battle. “Then what do you want?” Triela breathed with light hatred, clearly indicating that she didn’t trust him at all.

Pinocchio was lightly amused. The girl in front of him displayed such distrust; such weariness that it didn’t surprise him to know, that she bested him fairly. “I wanted to know your name.”

Triela was slightly dumbfounded, but she caught herself and refocused on Pinocchio. How he had survived was a mystery to her, yet she can’t be fooled again. Because she just can’t stand being beaten. “And why do you want to know? I don’t have any family for you to kill.”

Pinocchio felt hurt by that remark. True he was an assassin, and had killed a whole family as part of only a single target. However, he wasn’t the type of assassin who’d go after other family member’s just too exact revenge for failing to complete a kill. “A gun man is a professional, and a shooter kills because he has issues. I don’t need that, so there is nothing to fear.” Pinocchio said still casually, explaining that he himself had some hint of decency within him. “No, I merely wish to know the name of the woman who had bested me. As it would be un fair to just refer to you as the girl with the blonde pig tails.”


Triela huffed. She was confused, what on earth did this Padania assassin want from her? And how did he survive? “It’s Triela.”

Pinocchio mused that name through his mind a couple of times. “Triela, now that is a wonderful name.”

Triela huffed, not really understanding the relevance of it all. She coughed. “Now it’s my turn.” she said aloud. “What are you doing here?”

“To return something.” From his pocket, Pinocchio took out something that Triela had already seen.

It was the necklace that he had lost, which she took. But at the same time, he had taken her pistol.
He laid it on the wall which shielded anyone from plunging into the depths, of the valley near it. “I am a Thief, and I keep what I steal. You should do the same.” Pinocchio told her. After which he started walking toward her, and then without stopping past her. All the while he passed her; he tried to imprint her into his memory.

Triela didn’t know what to say, as Pinocchio kept walking, she just stood there. Hand on the brick fence, holding the necklace in the other, thinking of what Pinocchio meant and the reason behind it all.

Oh?

Well... Hmm... try to read it again.


I use a TTS engine (text to speech) with is plugged into my Firefox browser which narrates text. (This is normally used for the visually impaired.) It is the best way to know if I made an error, because the TTS doesn’t skip over words, and never stumbles over its tong.

It's still a good little fic, man - deserves to be published on FF.net.

Right....

and so i did...

BTW: Sorry for the dull responces, its 2:23 am, and i am a bit tired.

It's a nice picture, regardless of what it's to be interpreted as.

Not that anyone cares, but the Libretto image came from the front and back of a character/episode guide inserted with the April issue of Dengeki Daioh.

Ah, if only you could picture up at ff.net
It would have added the entire effect as one reads it

Well i did my best to include it. sadly nothing worked, even putting a link in was a hell. I mean the damn FF.net removed HTTP://

It's a sad fact of life that FF.net doesn't allow HTML in stories, Tommy - hell, they don't even allow it in PMs.

Check your mailbox, by the way. Review's up and ready for your reading pleasure!

Allready read it. (and thanked you in the chat box )

Incredible short story from Tommy!!

:iia:

We need more Pino x Triela!
