A Special Public Service Announcement

Yaguruma Sô
Bringer of Darkness, Self-proclaimed "IKRB #1 Guest-Host"

So. It has come to this moment at last. The moment which the whole of creation itself has been preparing for.

No, I'm not talking about the upcoming appearance in the Kamen Rider Kiva movie that I'm trying to work out. They dropped the ball by not featuring me in that Climax Dukes or whatever it was called, but there's always the next one right? And barring that, I'm sure I can get in on that Kamen Rider Dragon Thing Night Show. You know, that one. It looks like it will be dark enough after all. And if there's one thing I like, it's the dark. As in darkness. DARK-NESS. Yes. Few things can match it. Kageyama maybe, but don't tell him I said that. Actually wait, seeing as how I told him about 14 times in the last 6 minutes, I guess it's okay. He really is the best, right?

Instant Ramen comes close too. Just the other day, we were sulking around the bridge trying to stay out of view of the light and all the laughing, smiling children of the world, and somehow or another I got on the subject of how much more ass Ramen kicks than Soba. I mean really. Tendork and his lapdog Crapgami might be all about the Yakisoba bread and the place that Todo...Tada...Todoo... whatever his named was ran. Or was it his brother? Doesn't matter, he was workin' there at the end. Spoiler warning btw, but come on. Spoiler warning are for winners. Losers like us, we learn the whole story before the show even starts. Why stay in the dark when you can be enlightened by the tru.... er, I mean, no! Spoilers bad. Stay in the darkness, the blissful ignorance of the shadows. That's where it's at.

Anyway... oh hang on, I was supposed to tell you something, wasn't I? Yes I was. And yes it was to you. You. You who I envy, sitting there, reading this. Or possibly standing, or crouching on your knees because you, like me, are under that bridge, defying the light to reach where no light can possibly reach. Wait... yeah, okay. Wasn't sure if that made any sense. Anyway, you.

I envy you. Not the you that happens to be there right now, not the you that will be there tomorrow or last week or on Tuesday. No, the real you. Because there are two kinds of yous. The you-you and the other you. One of light, one of darkness, and one in between. Wait.... no, I'm right. Two of you. Two. Double. Twins. Like Kageyama and me, only less dark. Because really, does it get any darker than us? We're losers, we are.... but Kageyama is the best. Well, he says I'm the best, but it's really him. But yeah, total losers. No room in the light for us, no time for—

Are you laughing at me?

Good. I thought you were just now. You laugh. Laugh. Go ahead and laugh. It won't save you from the darkness. It won't save any of us. The darkness is eternal, it comes and goes like the wind, covering the—

Oh! Sorry. That's right, Igadevil asked me to bring you this important message (of Darkness:)

"Hi folks. Despite numerous setbacks, unexpected technical issues, a generally hectic past few months and all that, the IKRB will soon be back in full swing. I'll finally get around to my thoughts on Kiva thus far on Friday. Saturday will be... a lot of V3 reviews. Sunday will be Kiva. And after that, I'll be trying a new format for this blog. It's mostly just a refined version of the one I had going for a while, but will hopefully allow me more free time to work on the rest of the site, which is long overdo for an update. I do plan to eventually get back to daily updates on this blog, but for the time being, it'll be a "most of the week"-sort of thing. I'll explain later. Hope you like the new style, it's a bit of an experiment as well. Thanks for all the patience and support. Lots more to come soon!

-Igadevil"

So. Sounds pretty good, doesn't it? New reviews, articles, features, etc. I envy him. And the layout. I like that too. Dark. Dark is good. I like the dark. I envy it. And I envy you. But you already knew that, didn't you?

Of course, I'll still be here. If those cameos fall through, I've always got this blogging thing to fall back on. Like a big soft pillow darkness, it's right there, waiting for my head to smack into like a ton of bricks on a puppy. Yeah, I went there.

Where I didn't go, though, was to Heaven. No, I fell into Hell, and saw things you wouldn't believe. Or maybe you would, but you wouldn't want to believe them. I know I didn't.

Wait. I didn't wouldn't want to believe them... so does that mean I did? I'm confused.

Kageyama will know. He really is the best.

(Don't tell him I said that.)
