Well, since Mereo asked me to once I was finished, here are all the greeting card e-mails from the second volume of .hack//G.U..

Obviously, if you want to do this yourself, you shouldn't read this. It may or may not contain spoilers for the actual game (not really, but it might), so be warned about that as well.

Also, if you spot anything odd, or if you have a suggestion to make it easier to read, please tell me. I'm planning on sending this in to gameFAQs after I clean up the format a bit.

And since this thing is going to be rather unwieldily long, I've also included find keys on such of the different characters.

Atoli ~ XATO

Kuhn ~ XKUH

Pi ~ XPAI

Silabus ~ XSIL

Gaspard ~ XGAS

Piros the 3rd ~ X3RD

Alkaid ~ XALK

Sakubo (Saku) ~ XSAK

Sakubo (Bo) ~ XBO

Endrance ~ XEND

Antares ~ XANT

Matsu ~ XMAT

==============================
~About~
==============================


There are no 'dead end' replies. That is to say, no matter your reply in the e-mail chains, you'll always

have to choose from the next two, set responses. Thus, with this format, I'll be giving both of Haseo's

replies, and then their correspondents' reply before moving onto the next two choices.

Basic example of this is like so:


***

[Saku: Re: I want to know you better]

+Affection Increase+

I don't have anything to tell you!
I might change my mind if you pay me though!



{R1}
[Haseo: Age]

I'm 17 and a sophomore in high school.
What about you?

[Saku: Re: Age]

+Affection Increase+

>I'm 17 and a sophomore in high school.
>What about you?

The same as Bo!

{R2}
[Haseo: School]

Do you like school?

[Saku: Re: School]

+Affection Increase+

>Do you like school?

I just make Bo do all my schoolwork for me!

***

As you can see, I also add addition ('+') signs along with text to point out when you get an affection

increase (If you don't, there will be no such text added in the message). Or, in rare occasions, when you

get a decrease in affection, I'll use the subtraction ('-') signs along with indicating text.

Angle brackets ('>') in the message are Haseo's previous text, as I did not feel the need to erase it even

though I typed in Haseo's previous message anyway.

R1 means 'Reply one', and R2 means 'Reply two'.

Square brackets ('[]') are the subject matter.

I hope this does not cause any confusion.

I live in Chiba. Not near the ocean, but closer to Tokyo. LOL I see... I guess that means we could meet if

Thank you for the greeting card! I feel like today is going to be a great day! You've made me so happy!

You're always acting like a real rough and tough character, but you're actually very polite and well-

[Haseo: Me Too]

I like beef bowls too. I often stop by somewhere to eat them on my way back from school.

[Atoli: Re: Me Too]

+Affection Increase+

>I like beef bowls too. I often stop by somewhere to eat them on my way back from school.

Oh, I go to beef bowl places like Yoshidaya occasionally, but most of the time I just make them at home on

my own. I like them to be sweeter than those made in restaurants, and this way I can also add in tofu and

shirataki (potato starch noddles) as I like.

Sincerely,
Atoli

{R2}
[Haseo: What?!]

Beef bowls? LOL

Pick something more girly and cute next time. LOL

But they're so yummy! Besides, I make them myself, you know. :)

[Haseo: You cook?]

So you cook for yourself? You've got it together more than I thought.

[Atoli: Re: You cook?]

+Affection Increase+

>So you cook for yourself? You've got it together more than I thought.

My parents both work, and they always come home late, so I've gotten used to making dinner all by myself. :(

It's kind of depressing going to all the trouble to cook just for one person. I just wish there was someone

I could make extra for.

By the way, do you prefer Western-style breakfasts or Japanese-style breakfasts?

Sincerely,
Atoli

{R2}
[Haseo: What else do you like?]

Okay, enough about beef bowls. What else do you like?

[Atoli: Re: What else do you like?]

+Affection Increase+

>Okay, enough about beef bowls. What else do you like?

I have lots of things I don't like. I'm terribly picky. I can't stand most vegetables (the onions in beef

bowls are an exception) I get goose bumps just thinking about celery, or peppers, or peas.

By the way Haseo, do you prefer Western-style breakfasts or Japanese-style breakfasts?


Sincerely,
Atoli



{R1}
[Haseo: Japanese]

I always have miso soup and white rice for breakfast.

[Atoli: Re: Japanese]

+Affection Increase+

>I always have miso soup and white rice for breakfast.

Wow. It's amazing you always cook rice in the morning. Oh wait, sorry, that would be your mother wouldn't

it? LOL

My favorite ingredient to add to miso soup are shijimi clams! Whenever I make it myself, I always put in

shijimi clams and tofu. I always make sure to use seaweed broth too. I bet there aren't many high school

girls who can cook like I can. LOL

If only "The World" had a cooking system, I'd be happy to level up my skill in that! LOL

Sincerely,
Atoli

{R2}
[Haseo: Western]

I always have toast for breakfast.

[Atoli: Re: Western]

+Affection Increase+

>I always have toast for breakfast.

Me too. Or rather, I often just go without breakfast. I never seem to get very hungry in the morning.
Does that ever happen to you?

"To love. To love is not to look only at one another. It is to look together, in the same direction."

I believe Antoine de Saint-Exupery said that. It's a little different from a personal motto, but they're

words that remain in my heart even now.

You sound like a girl with high ideals.
In more ways than one.

[Atoli: Re: Ideals]

+Affection Increase+

I don't think that's the case. I just think everyone else gives up on their ideals too soon.

Do you have someone to look with you in the same direction?

Not at all. I love taking care of them every day.

Hand-perching sparrows are really friendly, so you have to be sure to play with them every day. They've all

My white sparrow, Haku, is a quiet and refined young woman. She loves taking baths.

Mon has cinnamon-colored wings and is known as a cinnamon type of sparrow. He's the only who isn't a hand-

perching sparrow. He'll always be singing along merrily by imself, and sometimes he gets the other two to

sing along.

I really should let them run around my room and let them get some exercise, but it's a huge job to clean up

Incidentally!
Theirs names are Bun, Haku and Mon.
They're all named after their particular species.

between a friend and a lover was, you know?

I get lots of calls from friends who are girls. Usually, they want me to come to even the numbers or talk

about their problems with work or relationships. Sometimes they just want me to help them with moving, or do

stuff for them.

I'm not picking them up, I just want to be friends with them. Though it takes a hell of a lot of effort to

talk to girls online. I mean, you only talk through e-mails and chat.

>Please teach me all you know, Professor Kuhn!

Good answer!

All right then, listen for some secret techniques from Sniper Kuhn that'll woo any female from 8 to 80!

The most important element for getting a girl is sincerity!

Girls are naturally weak to being treated nicely by men! They can't help it! What's more, they have more

pride than a group of lions!

This means that you first have to act humble and make sure she's happy.
Oh, but don't get the wrong idea.
Acting humble isn't all about putting the girl up on a pedestal or anything.

First you'll want to watch her closely.
Learn what she sees,
learn what she enjoys,
and learn what makes her angry.
Once you've got all that and have it firmly planted inside your head, it's time to make a move!
By using your knowledge that you gained from

And just why do you want to know about my dining perferences?

I guess I go out for most of my meals. There are lots of great places to eat around where I work. They've

got everything, from Italian, French, Chinese, and Japanese. Of course, they're all a bit expensive, but

what can you do.

It's not like I have anything else to spend my money on. I cycle through my business suits, so I don't need

to replace them much. And there's no point in buying cute casual clothes, because I rarely have a chance to

wear them. And honestly, I could care less about brand names and the latest fashion.

You've got a lot of nerve saying that to a woman you don't really know about. It's sad you can only have

So you want to know what I eat? Well, I love seafood, but only if it tastes good.

On my days off, I'd make my way to the fish market, or just drive by the ocean. It's just not the same

unless they're freshly caught. I'll have you know I grew up in a fishing village when I was little.

That's because everyone's so nice to me. There really are lots of nice people online. You can do things that

Well, do you remember the tanker that had an accident and spilled a lot of crude oil nearby? I helped clean

up the oil that flowed down to the shore. I didn't realize how hard it was until I actually tried it.

I knew it. You didn't know what they are really worth. LOL Unfortunately, you can't get greeting cards back

once they've been sent. I should've told you. Sorry.

For future reference, cards that end with the word "gift" in their names are rare. You might want to give

some thought on who to send the next one to.

Anyway, I like flowers. They're really relaxing.

We had a small herb garden at my family's house. My mom was always big on gardening.

In the previous version of "The World," I heard there was a flower-viewing event you could partake in. I

don't know the details, but it seems like there was a time when they made up a special area, complete with

gag items like "sake" and "snacks." LOL

No matter how dirty or messy my room might be, once you put on the headset you're in a whole different

I've only read about it online, but it looks like they were able to transform between a wolf and a beast

race. As for their characteristics, I think it kind of resembled your Adept Rogue in its ability to switch

its weapon.

All cards that end with the word "gift" in their name are rare! In fact, they're so rare that it's entirely

Crimson VS is another online game managed by CC Corp., just like "The World." You share the same account as

the one you use for "The World," and you use cards found in "The World" to make a deck and play.

But right now they're in the middle of a looong upgrade process, so no one can play. I wonder when they're

okay...

So, I've always used to think that I was worthless.

Hmm... Listen to this purely hypothetical story.

and for "R:2" he was chosen to lead the graphic team.
That is why he possesses such great love for "The World"!

Of course!

En secret screen shot collection online too!

Here, I'll explain it so even your stupid Haseo self can understand. Fujo Con is short for Fujoshi

Convention. It's held every spring and fall, so check it out if you're interested.

What's a "personal motto"?



{R1}
[Haseo: a personal motto is]

A personal motto is a saying that you have carved into your heart.

Let's see...
How about if I told you that they're words that make you want to be a certain way, or that they helped you

realize something important? Would that help?

[Bo: Re: A personal motto is]

+Affection Increase+

>How about if I told you that they're words that make you want to be a certain way, or that they helped you

That helped a lot.
Thanks for explaining it to me so nicely, Haseo.

I'd say that my personal motto is "HAS".

{R2}
[Haseo: You don't know?]

You don't know what it means?

[Bo: Re: You don't know?]

>You don't know what it means?

I'm sorry, Haseo.
I'm not too good at difficult words.

I asked Saku what it meant, and she said it means a saying you like. Is that right?

If it is, I'd say that my personal motto is "HAS".



{R1}
[Haseo: What's that?]

"HAS"? What's that about?

[Bo: Re: What's that?]

+Affection Increase+

"H" is for "happy".
"A" is for "amicable".

[Haseo: Huh??]

"HAS"? HAS what?!

[Bo: Re: Huh??]

+Affection Increase+

>"HAS"? HAS what?!

Hehe, well, this is what it means.

"HAS" is the goal for my class.

"H" is for "happy".
"A" is for "amicable".
And the last "S" is for "strong".

Aren't those nice words?



{R1}
[Haseo: Good words]

Happy, amicable, strong, eh.
Those are good words.

[Bo: Re: Good words]

+Affection Increase+

>Happy, amicable, strong, eh.

Yup! I just knew you would think so too, Haseo!

Someday I'm going to get really healthy, make lots of friends, and not make any trouble for my mom!

{R2}
[Haseo: I don't like them]

I don't like those words. They make me feel like I'm being forced to obey them.

Everyone should get to decide for themselves whether or not they want to be happy, amicable, strong, or

weak.

[Bo: Re: I don't like them]

>I don't like those words. They make me feel like I'm being forced to obey them.

Mixed martial arts are good too, but you need spectators for the "pro" part.
You can't forget to entertain them when you're a pro.

Real pro wrestling is an art created by the wrestlers and spectators together!

Hmph. How did I end up stuck with an apprentice like this?

[Haseo: Words]

So, what is it that you like about the phrase "Do not hesitate. Go forth and you will understand"?
Doesn't sound like there's much substance to it.

[Antares: Re: Words]

+Affection Increase+

>So, what is it that you like about the phrase "Do not hesitate. Go forth and you will understand"?
>Doesn't sound like there's much substance to it.

You've still got a long ways to go if you haven't grasped what it is that makes these words great, kid.

Here's how I interpet them---

Just as they say, one should not be afraid of failure when beginning something new, so just go at it with

everything you've got.

But, just think about how difficult that really is. The more people directly face their problems, the more

they flinch and shirk away. You can't overcome that without some amazing mental strength.

This phrase means to do just that.
Well? Pretty deep,right?

{R2}
[Haseo: Apprentice]

How many times do I have to tell you I'm not your apprentice?!

[Antares: Re: Apprentice]

+Affection Increase+

>How many times do I have to tell you I'm not your apprentice?!

Hah hah hah!
You should learn to be more honest, kid.
We both know you've accepted it in your heart!

"Do not hesitate.
Go forth and you will understand."
Do you get the significance of this phrase, kid?

It means don't be afraid to fail when starting something, just go out there and give it all you've got!

Well? Isn't that a good saying?



{R1}
[Haseo: I know]

I already know that. I don't need you to remind me.

[Antares: Re: I know]

+Affection Increase+

>I already know that. I don't need you to remind me.

Hah hah hah!
I guess you're right. You're no longer the same person you once were.

But remmeber kid, don't let it all go to your head. Don't forget that the time when you're most vulnerable

is the same time that you think nothing bad can happen.

{R2}
[Haseo: Confused]

But even then it's human nature to get lost sometimes, right?

For that matter, I'd have a much harder time trusting someone who's lived their whole life without worrying

instead of someone who thinks things through too much.

[Antares: Re: Confused]

+Affection Increase+

>For that matter, I'd have a much harder time trusting someone who's lived their whole life without worrying

instead of someone who thinks things through too much.

Hah hah hah!
Can't argue with you there!!

But remember, kid.
Being lost is also another way of moving forward.
As long as they don't mistake when they should let themselves be lost, people can move forward all the time.

It's okay to be lost. It's okay to worry.
But don't mistake when you should let yourself be lost.

Damn, now I've gone and given you another lecture.
Hah hah hah!!

I'm not interested in bullying those weaker then me, but when I'd hear about a "strong" player at the Arena

I'd become famous for a PKer by the time I met Sakaki. And, I lost...
Actually, it wasn't just losing. He made me feel as if I'd failed as a human entirely.

In the end, I just didn't have any "resolution" or "faith" at that time. So I joined "Moon Tree" and felt

like I'd found what I was searching for.

I don't regret having met Sakaki at all. I just... I wish I could have avoided seeing someone I respected

Why?

I mean, granted, Haseo doesn't seem too inclined to reciprocate those feelings, but you should note that Endrance CAN participate in the marriage event in the third volume so...

Endrance's life, has it ever mentioned him or Elk in any of the series, because I've only played the .Hack games, but only saw half he episodes for the original series and none of the series between the games.

Also did The World Version 1 end right after the first game series and then version 2 was The Legend of the Twilight Braclet or did that take place in version 1 and it ended after that?

Elk was from the original .hack games, if that's what your question was. Endrance is the character that the player who created Elk made in R:2.

The first version went down some time after the end of the Twilight Bracelet (the manga, BTW, not the anime).

If you want various info, the .hack//Wiki is the best place for it. Although, of course, it contains a lot of spoilers, so be warned.
