Why, thanks, I love my icon, too! I did not make it, however, so can take no credit, except for the fact that I have the impeccable taste to use it. :-)
Yes, I'd love an Orophin by his lonesome!
I can offer in return:
1. One frillion delectable cookies. 2. The Super Power that will allow you to taste a food, and immediately discern what it would need to make it taste perfect. 3. Llamas. 4. Ten free classes in ninjutsu, the ancient actual real martial art of the real life ninjas. I am proficient, and can teach you how to sneak into your own house without your kids knowing. Or how to lasso an intruder from twenty feet away with a chain and grapple them to the ground. 5. Undying gratitude. 6. My firstborn child.
1. Mmmm, yummy! 2. Sounds very useful..especially while cooking tea, night after night. 3. Hmmm...could be very handy for getting shopping back home from the supermarket. 4. Excellent...especially for getting in the house after hours - and I could check up on what they are doing too... 5. Thanks! 6. Have three, more than enough!
OK! *Adds Orophin to list, and starts to allow him free reign inside head...smirks*
Now, for your first ninjutsu lesson, please stealthily dart under the nearest table, and practice reciting the following:
"Ah ha, you will never find me here, under the table, where I am hiding secretly, where you will never find me...I wonder where my nemesis Kali of the Nine Demons is hiding for she is my nemesis and I must truly defeat her in order to gain the respect of my ancestors?"
*mouth keeps moving for a few seconds*
After that, I'll teach you koppojutsu, which is the art of breaking your opponent's bones with either withering glances and devastating wit, or actual blows with your fingers, whichever you prefer.
Remember, ninjas were very witty, especially during the Meiji period, where they had to deal with largely humorless samurais.
