"Yes, these go here and then I will add more around these."

M - "Heya Rei, what'cha doin'?"

 

R - "I am putting up stockings and being productive, unlike you."

 

M - "Yeah, yeah. Look, Reiko has a headache and I can't find any aspirin. Can you help her out?"

 

R - "Why does she have a headache?"

 

DSC_9068 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

R - "Ughh, my head is killing me."

 

M - "I told you not to try and keep up with me on drinking sake."

 

DSC_9071 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

Rei - "Gah! You got her drunk Manami?"

 

M - "I warned her not to go too far but she kept trying to one-up me!"

 

Reiko - "I can't figure out how you can drink so much and not feel like crap...."

 

DSC_9074 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

"I only had about 12 drinks and my head feels like it's gonna explode."

 

DSC_9075 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

"If this were you Manami, I would let you wallow in your alcohol induced pain. But since it is Reiko and she does not know any better, I shall make her an antidote. Keep her here while I go and fetch it."

 

DSC_9076 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

M - "There, there little one. I'll make it all better for you. Let me give you a shoulder rub."

 

R - "Thanks Manami. That does feel better."

 

DSC_9077 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

Rei - "Here you are Reiko. Drink this and you will feel much better."

 

Reiko - "Thank you so much Rei!"

 

M - "Good ol' Rei to the rescue!"

 

DSC_9078 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

"It smells a little funny."

 

DSC_9079 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

M - "Just drink some and then pass the rest to me."

 

R - "Okay."

 

DSC_9080 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

"NO! Do not drink any of that Manami! It is specifically formulated for Reiko only! If you drink it, I do not know what..."

 

DSC_9081 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

GLUG GLUG GLUG

 

"Not too bad!"

 

DSC_9082 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

"Dammit! Did I not JUST tell you not to drink that?"

 

DSC_9083 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

"Rei, my headache is going away! That was super fast!"

 

DSC_9085 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

"But now my eyes are all itchy... REALLY itchy! What's going on?"

 

DSC_9086 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

"Do not worry Reiko. That antidote will help clear up the headache as well as fix your eyes."

 

DSC_9091 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

"Fix my eyes? What's that mean? What was wrong with them?"

 

DSC_9090 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

M - "AHHHH! MY EYES! THEY'RE BURNING!!"

 

R - "THIS is what I meant Manami! Why do you never listen to me?"

 

DSC_9089 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

"Reiko, nothing is actually *wrong* with your eyes. I just meant that you have the same eye color as Manami and I had been hoping to see MY eye color on you. This drink is supposed to get rid of your headache as well as change your eyes to be like mine. And it looks like it worked."

 

DSC_9094 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

"It worked? Really? My eyes changed?"

 

DSC_9102 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

"Everything looks the same to me tho."

 

DSC_9103 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

M - "Man that sucked! Thank goodness it's all over tho."

 

R - "I am glad the pain has subsided Manami. Are you okay now?"

 

DSC_9095 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

"I think I am but why does everything look black and white?"

 

DSC_9100 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

R - "As I feared, your eyes have changed as well."

 

M - "Changed? Am I even more gorgeous now?"

 

R - "Sure, whatever you like. But this may only be temporary for you. A week or two at best and then your eyes should revert to their original state and color."

 

M - "I can handle it!"

 

DSC_9101 by balldylox, on Flickr

 

M - "So now what?"

 

Rei - "I have no idea."

 

Reiko - "I feel like drawing up plans for something."

 

Rei - "I feel like I need a drink."

 

M - "I feel like being bossy and cold."

 

Rei - "Keep it up and you WILL be cold. As in dead."

LOL!! That's bound to freak out a few of the other girls!

 

"So many Cupcakes........ So little Time" Heh, Manami's T-shirt says it all........

Haha this is so funny:

 

"I think I am but why does everything look black and white?"

Haaaaaaaa!Manami looks funny with those eyes

Only 12 drinks and she got hangover !!!

I'd like to know what was the recipe for that drink O_O

Ahahah Manami seems having a hallucinogenic trip xD

DSC_9082 by balldylox, on Flickr

Just when I think I've got Manami addiction tamed... the picture crack barges right back in and my inner fangirl goes ballistic. Sure I may sound calm, but the fangirl inside is squealing in delight, crying from sheer happiness, spewing incoherently, and wanting to hug Manami. Just one hug. What am I saying? This is Manami, the potato chip of DD. You can't have just one hug... No SK, you cannot hug Manami until she starts hollering about the crazy lady who won't let her go. No, bribing her with Tama-chan making her cookies and other sweets is out too. Sending boxes packed full of chocolates every few weeks to her is also probably a bad idea. Just sit down and be an introverted stalker from behind the monitor. And yes, sending Baldylox four page long PMs about how much you freakishly adore Manami is out too. You'd just be repeating yourself. You should have learned that before you sent the second one last time.

 

Fangirl SK: Big stupid dummyhead SK. How is Manami supposed to know how much I love her if I don't say anything? She is a goddess who makes my heart race. So adorable, and funny, and sexy, and sassy... I bet this time of year she smells of peppermint...

 

You are all kinds of creepy Fangirl SK. Despite what you think, the story was not about Manami, but Reiko. Say something that actually pertains to the photo story.

Fangirl SK: Poor Reiko! Now she's even less like Manami...

 

What is wrong with you? Nevermind, don't answer that. I really don't want to know.

 

Baldylox, as usual there is a ton of adorableness in your stories that I don't know where to start. Manami's shirt is so awesome. Hopefully it won't take Reiko long to realize that trying to drink Manami under the table is a bad idea for anyone. With the eye change I hope I can keep Rei and Reiko sorted out. I'm really bad at identifying girls based on boob size.

LOL!! That's bound to freak out a few of the other girls!

 

"So many Cupcakes........ So little Time" Heh, Manami's T-shirt says it all........

 

 

Heh, I'm sure it does! The effects haven't worn off just yet so both Manami and Reiko still have Rei eyes. And yes, that T-shirt says it all! Littleberries made that for me early this year and it really rocks.

 

 

Haha this is so funny: "I think I am but why does everything look black and white?"

 

 

That's actually a reference to how Rei sees things as well as how Manami thinks Rei sees things. So since Manami has Rei eyes now, she also sees things in black and white.

 

 

Haaaaaaaa!Manami looks funny with those eyes

Only 12 drinks and she got hangover !!!

I'd like to know what was the recipe for that drink O_O

 

 

Hee hee, she does look a bit odd doesn't she? And what do you mean ONLY 12 drinks? If I had TWO drinks now I'd have a hangover too! LOL I have no clue what Rei put in that antidote but I feel that I don't want to drink any of it.

 

 

Ahahah Manami seems having a hallucinogenic trip xD

 

 

Kind of! Rei can only see black and white so now that Manami does too, she's bothered by it.

 

 

Just when I think I've got Manami addiction tamed... the picture crack barges right back in and my inner fangirl goes ballistic.

 

Hahahahaha! I smiled when I took this pic and I keep smiling too. She is just too funny while not even trying.

 

This is Manami, the potato chip of DD.

 

Now THAT is something to really think about. I love potato chips. And I can never have just one. Maybe this is why I have so many girls now?

 

 

Fangirl SK: Big stupid dummyhead SK. How is Manami supposed to know how much I love her if I don't say anything? She is a goddess who makes my heart race. So adorable, and funny, and sexy, and sassy... I bet this time of year she smells of peppermint...

 

Hee hee hee... so funny hearing a fangirl for Manami. Too sweet! And if by peppermint you mean peppermint schnapps, you're correct.

Thank you so much! I'm really happy you enjoyed my silly story. Littlebearries made me that shirt and a few others similar to it. I love those shirts because they fit ANY of my girls and always look awesome. And don't worry about the eye swap, I'm still not sure she will keep these permanently. I've kind of grown attached to how she looked with Manami styled eyes. Manami will go back to her eyes of course but Reiko may or may not. And with Rei and Reiko, boob size isn't the only way to tell them apart. But it's the easiest.

Really Rei? You *still* haven't learned about Manami? She just screwed up your cloning experiment a little while ago and you weren't prepared for to drink the solution? Disappointing. I had really hoped would have been more prepared after this type of thing has happened so many times. It's a good thing that Manami didn't suffer any serious damage.

Maybe, just MAYBE, Rei thinks that Manami will change her ways after the Reiko incident. Or maybe that she will be more adult since she's become an older sister again. Rei has faith in Manami. Maybe it's displaced but at least she doesn't just give up on her.

 

 

Billy

The new eyes look good on Reiko, but what I'm really wondering is what it would have been like to be a fly on the wall for the drunken conversation between her and Manami. I have a feeling some "Truth or Dare" was played.

 

Rei's mistake was not being honest about the nature of the potion from the beginning. Not that Manami wouldn't have still had a taste!

. . .Wait, does this mean Rei and Reiko see in black and white too rather than in color? Interesting! Personally I wouldn't mind an eye color/style change, but if it took away my color vision I'd be a LOT more upset than Manami is.

 

Though of course Manami would be rude and snatch things away from someone else. She means well, but common courtesy--or even common sense--aren't exactly her strong points.

Hee hee hee... so funny hearing a fangirl for Manami. Too sweet! And if by peppermint you mean peppermint schnapps, you're correct.

 

I am much surprised that you didn't realize I'm an avid Manami fangirl. I thought it was already painfully obvious. You know how Yuriko fawns over Sprout? Yah I'm pretty dang sure she has been taking notes from me... I keep having to remind myself that taking my fave pic of Manami that you sent Yuriko is not a nice thing for a mommy to do. Instead, I just check the photo parts of the forums every morning to see if you posted anything new.

 

Peppermint schnapps and cocoa sound really good but Raven's already gone to the store.

 

~Sister Kyoya

hmm... does this mean we may see pics of Manami wearing glasses?

You really want to see me dead don't you?

 

~Sister Kyoya

Rei's mistake was not being honest about the nature of the potion from the beginning. Not that Manami wouldn't have still had a taste!

 

I'm actually wondering if maybe this wasn't intentional. I'm sure Rei has learned enough about Manami by now to work something like this out. Perhaps she hopes that exposing Manami to her way of seeing things might influence her a bit? I think Rei might want herself and Manami to be able to understand each-other a little better. She is, after all, the mother of her child...

 

Reiko looks interesting with the new eyes, but I've gotta say I prefer the original color. It makes her a little bit more "her". Manami, however, looks frightening. Intriguing, but very frightening. I wouldn't want to meet her in a dark alley looking like that. I'd be afraid she'd bite me.

 

Do her new eyes really see only black and white, or was she just poking fun at Rei with that? I could read it either way.

 

hmm... does this mean we may see pics of Manami wearing glasses

 

This would be awesome!! Everybody looks at least 10x hotter with glasses. Of course, then Sprout would have to as well, just to not be outcuted.

They all look great together with those brilliant red eyes...even if it wasn't intentional for Manami to be trying out this new look as well.

 

. . .Wait, does this mean Rei and Reiko see in black and white too rather than in color? Interesting! Personally I wouldn't mind an eye color/style change, but if it took away my color vision I'd be a LOT more upset than Manami is.

 

I wonder if Manami's brain is processing the data differently from Rei. Maybe Rei is used to handling more information than a standard human.

 

Attempts have been made to get an idea of how much information a human brain can process per second. I have seen quotes of 400 billion bits of information per second for the brain as a whole. For the conscious brain, I have seen quotes of 50 (based on reading speed) to 2,000 bits per second. The senses send much more information per second to the brain than the conscious mind is capable of processing:

 

eyes: 10,000,000 bits per second

skin: 1,000,000 bits per second

ears: 100,000 bits per second

smell: 100,000 bits per second

taste: 1,000 bits per second

 

Reflexes allow us to react quickly before the conscious mind has had the chance to process the information. There is a lot of filtering of information for conscious use. You can get used to things so that you don't have to process it each time your senses detect it. You don't see a bird fly past you and panic about what it could be since we have seen many birds already. I read somewhere that psychedelic drugs remove some of the filtering so you view the world in a way similar to if you are sensing everything around you for the first time.

 

Anyway, what if Rei's eyes send more information to her brain than average eyes and/or her brain processes more information than an average brain? Then Manami's brain might over-filter the information in response resulting in black and white vision instead of uber-enhanced vision with maybe some infrared or ultraviolet data in addition to the regular color spectrum.

 

Yes, I should be asleep instead of thinking about how the brain processes information but it is so fun to think about...

Manami is a dynamite right?? where on earth did you find those lovely shorts and that cute top? She looks so sexy! And this story is just too funny! I bet the other girls will be shocked!

 

 

DSC_9071 by balldylox,

The new eyes look good on Reiko, but what I'm really wondering is what it would have been like to be a fly on the wall for the drunken conversation between her and Manami. I have a feeling some "Truth or Dare" was played.

 

Thanks! I'm not sure I want to know what went on between those two... you never know WHAT can happen with two drunk girls....

 

Rei's mistake was not being honest about the nature of the potion from the beginning. Not that Manami wouldn't have still had a taste!

 

I guess that's possible but even if she had said something, Manami would have wanted some to help with HER headache too.

 

 

 

. . .Wait, does this mean Rei and Reiko see in black and white too rather than in color? Interesting! Personally I wouldn't mind an eye color/style change, but if it took away my color vision I'd be a LOT more upset than Manami is.

 

Yep! Do you recall when Rei did her photo story where she took pics all over the house? All those were in black and white because that's how she sees the world. So with Reiko, it's the same even tho Reiko has Manami's eyes. She has more of Rei's DNA in her than Manami so it makes sense she would have the same vision.

 

And I think Manami was still buzzed form her drinking binge.

 

Though of course Manami would be rude and snatch things away from someone else. She means well, but common courtesy--or even common sense--aren't exactly her strong points.

 

I have to agree there. Manami doesn't always think before she acts. But she's always done what she enjoys and usually comes out fine in the end. At least her stunts don't hurt anyone but herself.

 

 

 

I am much surprised that you didn't realize I'm an avid Manami fangirl. I thought it was already painfully obvious. You know how Yuriko fawns over Sprout? Yah I'm pretty dang sure she has been taking notes from me... I keep having to remind myself that taking my fave pic of Manami that you sent Yuriko is not a nice thing for a mommy to do. Instead, I just check the photo parts of the forums every morning to see if you posted anything new.

 

No, I knew you were a big fangirl of hers. I just never read any of your fangirl thoughts on her like you wrote above. I just found it hilarious.

 

 

 

hmm... does this mean we may see pics of Manami wearing glasses?

 

Ha ha! I don't know about all that but anything can happen!

 

 

You really want to see me dead don't you?

 

 

Not really. But bloodloss and passing out is okay right?

 

 

I'm actually wondering if maybe this wasn't intentional. I'm sure Rei has learned enough about Manami by now to work something like this out. Perhaps she hopes that exposing Manami to her way of seeing things might influence her a bit? I think Rei might want herself and Manami to be able to understand each-other a little better. She is, after all, the mother of her child...

 

Heh, that may be a valid point. I don't really know what was in that potion/antidote or if Rei wanted Manami to have some anyway but I do like the thought that Rei had this all planned out in advance. It does make sense!

 

Reiko looks interesting with the new eyes, but I've gotta say I prefer the original color. It makes her a little bit more "her". Manami, however, looks frightening. Intriguing, but very frightening. I wouldn't want to meet her in a dark alley looking like that. I'd be afraid she'd bite me.

 

Ha ha! Manami doesn't look dangerous to me but that's because she's gorgeous to me no matter what. But I can see how those deep red eyes would be creepy in a dark alley.

 

Do her new eyes really see only black and white, or was she just poking fun at Rei with that? I could read it either way.

 

Correct. Rei only sees black and white and so does Reiko. So with Rei eyes in Manami, she also sees b&w. But she was also poking at Rei too. I'm glad you caught that.

 

hmm... does this mean we may see pics of Manami wearing glasses

 

This would be awesome!! Everybody looks at least 10x hotter with glasses. Of course, then Sprout would have to as well, just to not be outcuted.

 

 

LOL! So if I have Manami wear glasses, I also have to have Sprout wear them too? I'm not sure my camera would survive! But I'll see what I can do.

 

 

They all look great together with those brilliant red eyes...even if it wasn't intentional for Manami to be trying out this new look as well. I wonder if Manami's brain is processing the data differently from Rei. Maybe Rei is used to handling more information than a standard human.

 

Thank you very much! I think it's cool to see different eyes every once in a while. And you may be right about the processing stuff. But Rei has always only seen black and white and Manami only color. So I'm not sure what's different other than the eyes themselves.

 

Anyway, what if Rei's eyes send more information to her brain than average eyes and/or her brain processes more information than an average brain? Then Manami's brain might over-filter the information in response resulting in black and white vision instead of uber-enhanced vision with maybe some infrared or ultraviolet data in addition to the regular color spectrum.

 

Ummm.... yeah. That makes my brain hurt just thinking about it.

 

Yes, I should be asleep instead of thinking about how the brain processes information but it is so fun to think about...

 

Ha ha ha! You are quite right! You should be asleep instead of at work! Silly girl!

 

 

Manami is a dynamite right?? where on earth did you find those lovely shorts and that cute top? She looks so sexy! And this story is just too funny! I bet the other girls will be shocked!

 

 

Yep, Manami is a DDdy girl. The shorts are from Taobao, Misskale helped me get them. As for the shirt, our own Littlebearries made it for me. She made me a few of them and they are made of t-shirt material. They're super stretchy and fit all my girls really well. Thanks for the compliments!

 

 

 

Billy

There is the eye story I missed lol!

Ok, I must ask... where are their shorts from? I love em!

Ok, I must ask... where are their shorts from? I love em!

 

 

Heh, all the girls have shorts from different places. Manami is wearing some from TaoBao, Misskale helped me get them. Rei is wearing some from Alices Collections. And Reiko's are Volks, they came with the yellow bikini set I got recently.

 

As you can tell, I love me some denim shorts!
