Domo-Arigato-Gozaimashita-Minna-san

Hitomi: "I would like to say arigato to all the people out there that
have been there for me. There are so many people . . . everyone has
done so much!!!"
	"Eternal Phoenix-chan, arigato! I never thought I'd ever meet a dear
friend like you. You always know when to be there and when to bash me
in the head. ^_^*. I deserve it, I know, 'kachan! Arigato for writing
such great stories and letting me post them!"
	"Fei-san, you own the site, domo arigato for letting me post
here. There'd be nothing without your server and your money. Also,
arigato for letting me endlessly borrow your anime. ^_^*. I swear I'll
rewind it all!"
	"My bishonen, how could I do anything without you, my loyal
partners in crime? You may fight once in a while . . . okay . . .
often . . . alright, all the time . . . but life would be boring
without that. ^_^. Domo arigato minna-san!!!"
	"Dilly-chan, you're so nice to me!!! I never thought I'd have a
yuujin like you. I love talking Escaflowne talk with you! ^_^. I feel
so special to know you! Arigato for all you've done for me!"
	"For all the judges of the Valentine's day contest at Dilly's,
arigato! I love the kirei awards! Also, domo to everyone that entered!
All the entries were so sugoi!!! The Escaflowne community is FULL of
wonderfully talented fans!!!"
	"Visitors of the site, DOMO ARIGATO GOZAIMASU for coming
here!!! This site would be nothing without you all!!! Reading your
mail and hearing your comments mean the world to me! You encourage me
and give me suggestions! Minna-san, you're invaluable!!!"

::Hitomi smiles and waves::

Hitomi: "Now it's my bishonen's turn to express their thanks to minna-
san! Dozo!" (walks away, still waving goodbye and smiling)

Tamahome: "My turn now!" (grabs the computer screen and hops up onto
the table top) "What we've got here is a fine opportunity! Take a look
at these gorgeous curtains! How much would you pay for them? Ten . . .
twenty gold-"

Tasuki: "THIS ISN'T HOME SHOPPING!"

Tamahome: "I knew that . . . shimatta . . ." (snaps his fingers)
"Thought I'd get a real good buyer for the fridge too . . .
Alright . . . Arigato to Miaka . . ."

::Miaka pops her head into the room and screeches in a really high
pitched voice, "That's me!" while various anti-Suzaku no Miko otaku
throw various objects and shout in Japanese::

Tamahome: "Ne, that isn't nice! Don't throw those things at her head!
Someone could get hurt!"

One anti-Miaka otaku: "That's the point."

Another anti-Miaka otaku: "Tamahome! Ditch Miaka and come with me!"

Tamahome: (blushes) "Now girls . . . I know I'm popular . . ."

Tasuki: (bashes Tamahome over the head as the anti-Miaka fan club
leaves) "Just GET ON WITH THIS WILL YA?!?"

Tamahome: "Okay, arigato to all my fans."

Chichiri: "It's gone to his head na no da."

Tamahome: "And gum!"

All bishonen: "GUM?"

Tamahome: (taking out fistfuls of quarters from his pocket) "It's made
me a small fortune in coins!!!" (grins and runs off to count his money)

Tasuki: "Lemme have MY turn now!" (smiles and rubs his hands together)
"Arigato to me. I'd also like to say arigato halisen! MOECHA!!!" (sets
numerous small fires around the room) "MOERO!!!"

::The bishonen roll their eyes as Tasuki runs through the hall spraying
flames as he goes::

Viole: "My turn now!" (rushes up to the computer and smashes his face
against the screen, grinning) "Arigato minna-san for giving me this
award. I'd like to thank so many people but if I did the cue card
people would cut me short. So . . ."

Gatti: (taping his shoulder) "YOU haven't gotten any award. Only
Hitomi-sama has."

Viole: "I haven't? If I haven't then what am I doin'? I ain't doin'
this if I didn't get anything."

Tokiya: "Moron."

Viole: "Arigato to no one." (walks away)

Rest of the Slayers: "We'd like to say domo arigato gozaimashita to
Hitomi-sama!"

Van: "Domo to my seiyuu."

Maze: "YOUR seiyuu?!!?"

Chichiri: "Like YOU have room to talk na no da!"

Tokiya: "You three aren't the only ones that share a seiyuu. Do you see
Tamahome and I fighting constantly?"

Van: "No . . ."

Maze: "'cause he knows you'd kick his ass real good."

Tokiya: "Foul mouthed moron."

Maze: "Arigato to my ability to throw form so I can blow this arrogant
bastard up!"

Tokiya: "Arigato for trying, moron."

::Maze and Tokiya rush of. Form is thrown and explodes around the house
adding debris to the fires Tasuki has set::

Diamond: "It's my turn? Arigato . . . uh . . . arigato to the Koibito
Archives for allowing me to be Hitomi's official koibito."

Chichiri: "Domo arigato to my special hat no da! Also, arigato to my
smiley mask na no da! It comes in handy when you're asleep pretending
to be awake no da!"

Van: "You mean all those times when we were fighting and destroying the
place and you were just sitting there . . . you were asleep? I just
thought you had nerves of steel."

Diamond: "Not to mention unrivalled patience."

Chichiri: "I was asleep na no da."

Van: "I gotta try this."

Diamond: "Me too. Got any extras?"

::All three put on smiley masks and are instantly snoring. Tasuki is
still playing with his halisen. Tokiya is swinging Ensui at Maze who
continues to throw form at him. Tamahome is counting his stacks of
quarters::

Gatti: (acting as the official representative and spokesperson for the
group) "In closing, we'd again like to say domo arigato gozaimashita
minna-san for checking out this site and supporting us. Enjoy your
stay. You're always welcome here. Send us mail too. We all love that.
Arigato gozaimashita from all of us to all of you!"
