A3! Usui Masumi - Translation [SR] MANKAI ☆ New Year (1/2)

*Please read disclaimer on blog; default name set as Izumi

---

Tasuku: Usui? Good work.

Masumi:  Why are you guys here…

Juza: We were called by Director.

Yuki: You came over since you thought you were the only one called, didn’t you?

Masumi: …*Sigh*.

Izumi: Ah, all four of you are here! Thanks for gathering, everyone.

Yuki: What did you wanna talk about?

Izumi: So you see, I'm planning to send New Year's cards to places that usually take care of our Theatre troupe—. Since I’m going out of my way, I’d like to make New Year’s cards that scream MANKAI Company. I wondered if you guys would help me out with that.

Tasuku: It’s the season for New Year’s cards already, huh?

Juza: That was quick.

Izumi: There are limits to the ideas I can come up with on my own… So I’d love all of your help. What do you think?

Masumi: I got it. I’ll make a New Year’s card that’ll make you happy.

Tasuku: Usui doesn’t hesitate.

Yuki: That’s the Psycho Stalker for you… Well, I mean, it does sound fun brainstorming and making them.

Juza: Preparin’ New Year’s cards… I’ll lend a hand if there’s anythin’ I can do.

Tasuku: I don’t mind helping either… But what should we do, starting off?

Izumi: Right, I’d like to decide what to do first… How about dressing up for New Year's and taking a picture, for example?

Yuki: Why not? If possible, I wanna wear a cute kimono.

Tasuku: Alright, then that works for the main design, right? What else should we do?

Masumi: What about writing something with brush strokes?

Juza: Brush strokes… If we’re talkin’ brush pens, then I can do that too.

Masumi: In that case, Juza will write the words with a brush. Are the words “Happy New Year” fine with you, Director?

Izumi: Ahh, yep.

Yuki: The Psycho Stalker’s making suggestions voluntarily…

Masumi: I want to show Director I’m a capable man.

Yuki: It falls apart if you say that, you know?

Tasuku: Have you decided how many copies you’re going to send out?

Izumi: Hmm, we’ll give some to the theatre troupes and companies who help us out, the shopping district, and also…

Juza: Sounds like quite a lot, huh?

Tasuku: Will you order them from a vendor for that amount?

Izumi: Eh? I-it’s too late to place an order now, isn’t it… I’ll try my best with the dorm’s printer!

Yuki: I bet that’ll be a lot of effort. Are you sure?

Tasuku: I’ll do the printing. Usui, can you get the postcards for us?

Masumi: I got it. Director, let’s buy them together when you go shopping.

Izumi: Okay, sounds good!

Yuki: It’s fine if I choose the kimonos we’ll wear for the photoshoot, right?

Juza: I’ll write “Happy New Year” with a brush pen…

Tasuku: We can work out the specific layout and other details together after we’ve collected the materials for the picture and text.

Masumi: …Does that work, Director?

Izumi: Yeah. Thanks, everyone!

-pause-

Izumi: Ah, Tasuku-san! Are you heading out?

Tasuku: Yeah. We were low on ink when I checked the printer earlier, so I’m just on my way out to buy some more. It seems we’re going to use up a lot for these New Year's cards.

Izumi: You’re in charge of the lettering and printing, right, Tasuku-san?

Tasuku: Yeah. Speaking of which, Hyodo’s in charge of writing, and it looks like he’s been doing calligraphy since this morning.

Juza: …

Izumi: Ah, he is!

Juza: ! Director and Tasuku-san?

Izumi: I heard you’re writing the brush letters for the New Year’s cards. How’s it going?

Juza: Well… I tried writin’ a few sheets. But when I think about the fact we’re sending them out to a buncha people, I get nervous and can’t write well.

Izumi: Eh, that’s not true! You’re writing them really beautifully!

Tasuku: Yeah, I think your writing’s neat and impressive.

Juza: I’m glad to hear you say that, but I’m not entirely convinced. I wanna write a few more and then discuss with everyone.

Tasuku: No problem. Let's decide what would look best for this year’s New Year's cards together.

Izumi: Fufu, I’m looking forward to it!

Hi Three! I read your pregnancy/baby headcanons of your Haikyuu husbands and it was so good. I love how it shows their personalities! IlI also read your Atsumu one shot and I’m about to tear up because I always imagined Atsumu being the first one to say “I love you”. That got me all in my feels and it was so beautiful to read <3

Ooh older siblings unite! Oh my gosh, your son sounds super cute hehe. I totally get you, I think Atsumu would ideally want two kids at most. Hehe!

I agree with you about Atsumu being soft and needy! He would be so giddy and so in love with you all over again when he sees the anatomy scan. Ahh! That is super sexy of him! I can imagine just being with him at home with the kids and I’d watch him just do something with the kids and I’d think he’s the sexiest when he’s like that 😅 He’s a super cute dork!

I gotta give some dad headcanons to my self ships. I’ve spoiled Iwaizumi the last two weeks aha. Oh my god, I’ve also “named” two of my kids with Iwaizumi! Their names are Mizuki and Hiroki . Mizuki is the older daughter and Hiroki is the younger baby boy. That was kind of embarrassing but honestly, I really loved looking for names.

I’m thinking Atsumu might be your favorite Three…*cough cough* 😉 Also, can I just say that I really love the new design of your blog! It makes me so happy to look at it.

Have a great night Three and thanks again for reading and talking with me about Dad! Atsumu headcanons <3

Asdfghjkl don't compliment me I'll get a big head. And its already big enough 😂

But yes Atsumu being impulsive enough to say it first! I was mowing my lawn and just the idea of Atsumu saying it in the middle of something loud going on just sounds so much like him. Ngl I had enough emotions writing it, why do I do this to myself 😂

My wife says the same thing about Atsumu only wanting two. Guess I gotta get my four babies outta Suna, I don't mind 😂

Atsumu when he's got that dopey smile on his face and is excited is the exact reason I fell for him ♡ THIS is why I adore one man-

Ugh just look at him. He needs to have the bridge of his nose kissed I hate him 😩

Normally I never name self ship kids- like ever. Save for a self ish insert oc I have for Blue Exorcist but that is a huge developed story with like 3 aus to it plus after thought so of course the oc ship kids have names. Atsumu is the first one I actu named flat out a self ship kid v.v Just- Lucas Miya sounds really good ok and I'm a nerd I cant help it 😩

I love those names though! My oldest to date oc I've ever made name is Hiroko so I really love Hiroki's name!! And don't feel nerdy my son basically has a meta name of manga character but no one needs to know we named our son after a God 😂

And aww thank you baby ♡ Honestly I'm really loving the way it looks. I keep looking at it myself just bc the color and layout makes me happy ^~^ and the new theme color looks so good on the fic out lays. Of course I had to write about Atsumu first. He just looks so good in my blog color ♡

And of course! Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me I honestly adore them! Have a wonderful rest of your evening. And if its day for you, I hope you have a productive day!

[gundampilot]

Inspired by @dialup2002 to post some more old stuff. :) This is a desktop screenshot I posted on my DevART account January 2005. Kicking it with Windows XP, but I loved/preferred the classic style that I was accustom to (95-98-ME). I made the wallpaper used, but I’m having trouble finding a copy of it. I’ll prob try to remake it in non-1024x768 resolution lmao. Not sure if this is from 2005. It might have been from 2004, but I hadn’t posted it yet. I did that a lot. Some fun notes about some of the software icons pictured (lots of info):

Firefox - THE FIRST BROWSER TO DO TABS OMG. I was a huge advocate for Firefox, especially in its initial releases. They were doing things on the internet nobody had really seen up to that point, and made it popular! Since I had so many issues (as most people do) with Internet Explorer, I was shopping around for a new browser at the time of this shot. Google Chrome didn’t exist yet. (Can you imagine??)

IE - As stated above, I disliked IE. It was kept for various reasons, however. Such as testing website layouts, since the mass-majority of people used it and things looked different in browsers when you were coding.

Opera - While giving Firefox a try, I also managed to snag a very, very early copy of Opera. I’ve always been the type of person that loved to try out new stuff as early as possible, and this was a very special piece of software that I wanted to give a go. The reason that it was special? You had to send away for a CD for it. That’s right, kids. They snail-mail’ed me a CD because it was considered “commercial software.” I paid to get that browser lmfao. I was super super hyped later in 2005, because it became “freeware” and I was able to more-easily push my friends to try it out. The devs were (and still are) seriously awesome. This is why I still use Opera as my main browser today! Ya’ll should try it if you aren’t already! You can even use your most-beloved Chrome extensions on it. :)

Soulseek & WinMX - Holy crap, you guys! lmao Is anyone here old enough to remember these programs?? XD This was basically where most people went after Napster bit the dust. This was when we were all scrambling, trying to find a new P2P sharing program. This was right in-between the eMule/Donkey phase and before the Limewire/KaZaA fiascos where people’s computers were being overloaded with viruses from companies trying to stop pirating. Ahh, the wild, wild west... Days were so exciting when you spent hours downloading something that could potentially ruin your computer lmao

WS_FTP - Still one of my favorite FTP programs for Windows! Works like a charm! These days I use Transmit 5 for Mac, but this was my first program ever for file transfer protocol. It’s basically a tool for uploading files to my website’s server, because back when I first registered it, there was no web uploader for that kinda stuff. Now I stick with that because it’s easier and I’m used to it lol

Veo Digital Studio - Used to use this for my webcam back before webcams were built into laptops, and before they were common enough to have amazing freeware available for them.  (Also this is hilarious.) The quality was horrible, but I was hella excited to take pictures and share them with friends and on my blog at the time. From what I remember, there was something I used after this that was some type of South Korean selca software. Haduri? Something like that. It was really cute and even let you do little animations. :) 

Animation Shop - Okay. So... from what I remember, this might have been owned by the people that made Paint Shop Pro? I think it was Corel. I honestly don’t remember where I got this from, but this is what I used to use to make animated gifs (because Photoshop just....didn’t for some reason? I had to use PSP at some point, I remember that. I just don’t remember why lmao. It might have been my copy didn’t allow it, or my computer was just too shit to run it good enough, or just stopped working because....Windows). 

Adobe Photoshop 5.0 - I originally got this rip from a friend of mine, whose dad got a CD from his company that he worked at. It was an official/real license, which was really awesome! I think this was the first version of Photoshop I ever owned (!!), which is pretty amazing to think about about! I had that CD copy for a few years. I initially was gifted a copy of the CD around 2001-2002 or so. I know for a fact I had newer versions (7.0 was legend before CS suite came around), so I’m not sure why I was using this one at this point lmao. My guess is, like mentioned above, something happened with my computer and I didn’t want to format it and reinstall everything lol or because it was the fastest version I had installed to boot up and do a quick photo edit.

Adobe Photoshop 7.0 - I do remember this took a long time to start up. I can only imagine this was like a bad pirated copy or something, or was so bloated with new stuff in it, and that’s why I kept 5.0 for a quick boot. I know I used this majority of the time, though. Most of my backups for brushes and fonts are from backups that include 7.0 as a zip. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  My computer wasn’t the most powerful at the time, despite what I pushed it to do, so this is prob why.  But hell yeah! Photoshop represent! lol I still use it today, and its still one of the first things I install on a fresh OS install. Enjoying CC 2017 these days.

Nero Start Smart - I was so excited to make mix CDs and share them! Back in the day before you had stuff like playlists that were sharable on YouTube/Spotify, etc, you had this to share music. Or play in your car. Or CD walkman. Nero was a software you could burn your CD-Rs and make your own laser-etched album art! I begged for years to get a CD burner lmao. Back when casette tapes were still around enough that my parents were like “but why???” lmao. They were not common back in the day like they became over time, just, like, included on your computer. Back then you had to buy one and install it into your computer tower yourself! I got mine I believe.....in 2001? It was the year after the Playstation 2 was released. The first one I got was just a very standard burner. Did a very specific type of CD burning at a low (slow af) speed. It was $700 lmfao. Let that sink in for a minute because my parents didn’t let me forget about it for the next four years lmfao. I saved up birthday and Christmas money and went halves on it. Then I upgraded to the one that this one was! c: Which did the laser etching, and DVD burning! (And you better believe I was burning DVDs of stuff I was downloading online lmfao this was the golden age of the internet where everything was just available everywhere as long as you had the patience to download that shit, because it took forever to download)

Volume Control - My dad and I messed with the wires on all of these random computer speakers and stereo speakers that we had collected over the years and hotwired our own version of a 5.0 surround sound in the room, which was mounted to the ceiling corners and above the computer station. It was lit. I needed Volume Control easily accessible because sometimes the speakers needed redirecting, or I needed to turn the beats down because my mother was tired of my fifth time playing the Gundam Wing OSTs and Miyavi. (It was metal, okay???)

Windows Media Player - I did not use this to listen to media. Let me reiterate that. I did not use it to listen to media on. lol this was specifically used to rip tracks from CDs that friends lent me, because it was the easiest software I was able to use to change the KBPs for quality control and the ID3 tags so I could save it and organize it for use in Winamp and know wtf I was listening to lol. Nobody used WMP for listening to music.... xD 

Winamp - The best music player. Period. Still. Nothing beats it. Pls, pls, Nullsoft! Come back and make a native version for MacOS. :’((((  I would buy it! Doesn’t even have to have new features or look different. Classic look, pls pls! 

Media Player Classic - Do people still use it??? This player was amazing! Paired with k-lite codec pack, it played everything. It was like VLC before VLC. And it looked good. Clean. Small. Could be installed anywhere which was nice. And the codec packs just made everything look and run fantastic! 

Recycle Bin - .... Trash XD 

Magnifier - This was for my dad because he had bad eyes and couldn’t remember CTRL +/-/0 to increase the text on pages that he wanted to read.

My Documents - Where I saved all the stuff I downloaded. Not the real My Docs. Just a folder that I named as such, with a custom icon. I don’t know why I wanted it there lol. I think to just have a uniform square on my desktop haha

Journal - I renamed this. I forget the original name of the client, but it was the official client of LJ. It was basically a program that let you write up posts for Livejournal and you could format things, draft them, etc, and post without uploading to your journal/blog. I liked it because sometimes I couldn’t post right away, and it made making drafts a lot easier for me to go back and edit. It also let you edit past posts, which was really convenient instead of looking for it on the web version one post at a time.

AIM+ - I loved AOL Instant Messenger, but over time the ads became too much. I invested a lot of time in 3rd party clients. I was constantly switching between AIM+, Adium, DeadAIM, Pigeon, Trillion, etc. Depended on what I wanted to do that day. Want to clone a SN? Want to skin the colors of the chats? Need transparency? Want to customize your lists? Want to log into more than one msg system at once? They all had their strengths. This was my msg service of choice. Back in the day you were either on this, MSN, or Yahoo!. Some people rocked ICQ and there were a few others, but these were the most common from who I knew/hung out with. I miss those days. <3 

You can see WinMX running in the taskbar lmfao so I was prob downloading something at the time of snagging this quick shot. I also had DevART open (prob because I was gonna share this on there). I really wish I had more programs open at the time of this! XD It’s wild to look back at some of the software changes over the years!

Anyway, that’s one of my oldest screenshots that I can find that I’m able to share right now. :) I’m going to be posting a remake of that wallpaper that I did later today for those of you that want that, too.

If you read this far, thank you!! Hope you had fun reading about old stuff!
