Tales Of Symphonia Fan Fiction ❯ Symphoniacs ❯ Chapter 3
[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
Welcome back! hugs all
I received an incorporeal facial slap the other day. I walked through WalMart and stopped at a Spork that claimed to be a combination of a spoon, knife, and fork. I noticed on the packaging that it said it was made of polycarbonate. Immediately I could hear Raine echoing in my head. “Just as I thought! This is polycarbonate! Developed during the Ancient War to defend against magic!” I even repeated it allowed. I shook my head, muttering under my breath, “I’m a Symphoniac because I can repeat character’s phrases from memory.”
Well, my mom heard my muttering and asked me what I was going on about. I was shocked by what I heard next:
“You might be a Symphoniac if you buy something made of polycarbonate just to defend yourself against magic.”
My jaw dropped. Thus, I have to add a new one to the list:
“You Might Be a Symphoniac If your mom comes up with a new phrase to add to your list.”
Sad isn’t it?
Anyway, back to the list:
You Might be a Symphoniac If:
By BabyKatSnophlake
And ShiniMegami Solqua
You see a man with long blue hair tied back in a pony tail and congratulate him that he finally took his handcuffs off!
You hear about a criminal who does deserve the death penalty (I’m not talking about Regal!) and you shout out, “Meet the Hammer of Godly Thunder!” Then you let Volt take care of the rest.
You spend $48 on a print out of your favorite character so you can frame the poster and hang it on your wall. (I am SO considering this….)
Your guide book is falling apart, but you’ll sooner starve than throw it away.
You’ve covered your guide book with clear contact paper to protect it.
You’ve memorized everything in that guide book, so you don’t even need it!
You carry your favorite ToS character figurine everywhere you go. (Genis and Presea travel in my car with me! Hehe)
When your car says “Angels Watching Over Me” you are talking about Colette, Kratos, Yuan, and Lloyd.
Your license plate has something to do with ToS.
You start a collection of license plates with each of the character’s names.
You see yourself as a 90 year old still playing the then Ancient GameCube.
You know that the secret back-door entrance into any enclosed city is the sewer.
You’re sure you will find Zelos sneaking back through said sewer if you go through it at night.
And now for the Donations!
