Also, I've updated my TL for SNF. Found a few mistakes and awkward lines in the old version >_> Enjoy:

There's no counting the dreams I've had come true

I just wanna crack open a map of the unknown and quiver with excitement
(Shake! Shake! Fever! Fever! Baby!)

Worry and struggle. Hope and frustration, go full circle.
(Stand up and be counted!)

I can feel it. I can't overthink it. Just follow my heart
Enveloped in the starry, starry night
Each and every one of us, a master of this twilight
Unite with you. Connected together
We friends will dance this meteoric night till dawn

In the light of the disco ball
You and I dance the dance of the stars
The two of us curl into one
And at last illumine the heavens

Hey, don't give up
Coming to you from Alpha Centauri is a
Lucky Falling Star
Spend another night searching for, gathering, and rolling the fragments

Music for the dreamers.
Music for the passion.
Music for the moment.
Music for the starlight.

What I feel right now will go on forever
Even to where starlight can't reach
Unite with me, and rolled together
We'll continue our free-wheeling once-in-a-lifetime journey

Heartbeats echo on the moonlit night
As eternally continues the dance of love
We squeeze tight, then separate -- that warmth
Is something I always want besides me
You won't be hurt again
Embrace in your bosom the song of peaceful love
Tomorrow we'll eat, play, forget, and move forward

Music for the dreamers.
Music for the passion.
Music for the moment.
Music for the journey.

Good match 1. Of course I want my support Unused Whale to retire (please ignore that time I dropped it) but its hard to not root for STARRY NIGHT FEVER, singing its sweet little heart out at the galactic dance party. Not the first time Im hopeful for Katamari even when voting against it.

Good match 2 also. I am nervous about lending Sanctuary my power here, with how dominant its already been. But I gotta be true to myself, and given the choice between peaceful fishbowl world vs. chaos anime world, I know where Im going.

WILL and WANT: Precipice
The thing I want the most is for the Precipice/Spiral match to happen. So as to not incur any more bad karma, I wont say Id be willing to betray Precipice there. All Ill say is that it would be such a good match, Id be happy no matter who won.

Obtain An Unused Whale In The Abstract Sea
At Tokione

Pretty happy with whoever wins today, both matches are really even. However, At Tokione would be preferred because it is my support, and also because the Opoona streak is very cool.

STARRY NIGHT FEVER
Sanctuary

THIS is what a retirement match should be - hard hitters, a bittersweet matchup, cheering for the victors while shedding a tear for the losers.
