geyser: '''Dǎo dàn''' guǐ '''捣蛋'''鬼 is Chinese for "troublemaker", and dǎo dàn 捣蛋 means "to stir up trouble".

* While geyser and I often tend to agree little on things our fierce discussions (pit fights, figuratively) can sharpen our view for our own visions. And in the end it is even possible that different interpretations add together to a greater picture. It's like a symbiotic relationship - although painfully often it is not. But for Daodan story pieces I do think that we greatly complete each other. | * While geyser and I often tend to agree little on things our fierce discussions (pit fights, figuratively) can sharpen our view for our own visions.

** Or maybe after the cataclysm: Would GATC give him a daodanized Spare? "Due to technical limitations we experimented with daodanized bioprints. The bodies most often died in the process because it took to long and caused too much stress. The Daodan cells helped in repairing all the micro damages and strengthened the fresh fragile bones that often lack the minimum concentration of minerals." [Is this a fully functioning Daodan?] | |||
