Thank you guys so much for the feedback! <3

So I was reading Chapter 3 at work (just like with Chp 2), because all my bosses were out again - even before it was announced to be up since I was all anxious for the update. My regular week is REALLY unspectacular until friday til sunday, so I kept looking for the update everytime when no one was sharing the room with me. While I was reading then, our "Infotext" started (Information transparencies with music) and "My Immortal" was running as the first song - that's feeling. You also might wind ou getting a video dedication once this fic offers me a little more scope. Anyway, once thing I noticed that already bugged me in chapter 2: "Nos" is a nice shorty for in-community use since everyone knows who is meant, yet I've never heard this nickname on the actual show. You might want to look this over... Another thing... since this fanfic isn't in progress anymore (right?) would you probably consider to expand the update on 2 days a week? It's kind of a personal request, I know, but it seems (to me at least) to be making a real slow progress in plot (which of course just emphazises XR's monotony) and it's just a hell to wait a whole week - especially if you have a week like mine which meanwhile has about the same monotony (I'm too young to waste my life away in monotony D8). Most of the reviews come directly after the update anyway, but I know that I can't judge your review input since you promote this fanfic on several other sites and I really don't want this review-input to decrease. Sidenote: Booster is awesome

Well, if you're reading fanfiction you probably know who it is, and I just... can't be bothered to type the whole name 30 freaking times XD;;
I'd possibly be willing to increase update schedule but I'd have to talk to BG about it first.

Thank you!
And thank you too, levy! I'm glad you're enjoying it so much! Thank you for the feedback. I have to second Kila though - NOS-4-A2 gets to be a pain to type over and over. And read over and over, for that matter. X3
As for increasing the updates - while it's true that this first half of the fic has been completed, it's still being proffread 'n stuff. And I've been so busy lately, I've been finalizing the chapters the night before we upload. For now at least, I'd feel better leaving it at weekly updates. But I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it that much!
That he is. <3

Anyway, this is one of my favorite chapters, so hope you all enjoy! I figured, since that was the one who got all the fanart, huh? xD That fighting the "zombie robots" kind of remembered me of a computer game... it comes across quite well x3 Dudes, I'm giving a big (well in a matter of speaking) review later, tomorrow or so including one for chapter 4, currently I'm really too caught up in Multitasking and I don't want this window here open for another two hours, so... xD

I figured, since that was the one who got all the fanart, huh? xD You remembered! Cookie points for you! ^^ Yes and I also remembered the prosa you posted on the Fanart. It's quite intersting to see how it changed... xD Granted, it wasn't much. I didn't do a direct comparison, but as far as I remember the actual "this why he was acting up all the time" was left out while the cling and the delirious sound were... new xD That all from sole memory, might be a bad memory, but heck, it's been a WHILE since you posted that fanart, so... (it's NOT been a while since I faved it though, sorry for being so late) So first up... Chapter 4 It was actually a kind of... draggin chapter. Monotony emphazise after all, but still nothing really happened there, expect fot he Delirium scene and the "Kill me" which will be important further on. However it was quite enjoyable to read. I think it's kind of funny how both of you are against robot-abuse so much and yet you wind up torturing XR so badly. But I said it already and I'll say it again - worrying about a character makes it just so much more loveable. Weaknesses are the actual character cookies. I don't quite know how the throwing up is supposed to work since XR has no neck, but heck, he also drinks with with mouth in the series so... long live CARTOONS for creating stuff that just needs to be not explained! xD I actually really enjoyed Nos little... well forecastings. I've read some Nos-fics by now but non of them actually threw the light of a real killer on him. Even more a serial killer who just got into his... stuff. And I can say this kind of spotlight suits him ^^ Chapter 5 "Nickelback, 'Savin Me'" Just rewatched NinjaRabbit's video... fitting so well x333 Anyway I always tend to have... problems actually imaging the scenes, while they are still enjoyable to read. That's mostly because I can't keep too much in my head at the same time, so the actual environment fades away and OCs, if not my own, turn to become shapeless soon enough - especially when their description was VERY detailed in the beginning. Now why I'm telling you this, is that Chapter 5 was acutally really graphic to me. There were so much scenes that burned real images into my head, seeing as it already got lots of fanart, I figure it would get fanart from me as well, if I could just pin these images on paper which sadly is not the case. There were actually lots of scenes that made images of Nos-epidsodes flash up in my mind. References. They're good, they're sweet and they make good videopotential *g* Most of all they show a connection to the actual show. When during the last 4 chapters the fanfic seemed just... really dark and one-character centered (even more so than the normal character centered episodes) it's now hitting a spot where it actually could be a real episode. I may just quote some of these parts right here and right now: ^ episode memory: The Slayer (OBVIOUSLY! XD) And I herewith take the chance again to say that this robot fight was epic ^ episode memory: The Slayer ^ episode memory: Downloaded (kinda xD) ^ episode memory: Dirty Work ^ episode memory: Return of XL The only thing that kind of... irritated me is that Buzz kind of... vanished for a certain time and then suddenly popped up again in the fight. Being the captain of the team and the actual repsonsible for the crew, I figured he should have gotten a little more attention, at least giving out some commands or such... Anyway... as far as I know at least Kila's style this ain't over quite yet, so I'm kind of expecting a sudden plot-twist in the next chapter, that will luckily be updated in a not-sooo-long time period now, seeing as this here DID come kind of late... sorry there.

That surprised me too. I think what really bothers me is when people think it's funny that he's hurt. Nuh-uh. Not funny.
I NO RITE. yay for willing suspension of disbelief.

I cannot believe you remember that so well. That makes me feel so warm and fuzzy. 83 So true. ^^ I second that. ...Not being funny, that is. Hopefully the second half will give it some sense. ...You know, the chapter always seemed to flow so well, I never even thought about that. ^^; But yes, you bring up a very good point. Thank you so much for this amazing review! <3 It's really encouraging to get so much feedback!
