MORE EDIT!: Fanart! Not just of my chars, too! It's a big tribute to several people and their prawn characters, and six of them are in PoHA, though only four of them are entitled to me. But what more could I want? *giggle*

EDIT: More fanart!!

I really wanted to get rid of that humongous tag that was making my journal oober long^^

So, to update, I'll just rant a little about how cool it is that I'm getting commissions like spring rain, for some odd reason. The sad part is they just keep piling up for lack of time. I expect I'll be able to make up to that in the summer, which begins for me in mid May. Spring break will probably be as crazy as the rest of the year, so no promise there. Still, I ARE SO THRILLED, TEEHEHEHE

About PoHA, all I have to say is I couldn't be happier with the way it's turning out. The readers' comments make me so happy I'm afraid I might believe it too much and become an egocentric ass. But thank you so much! You have no idea what it means to me.

On a side note, I was just wondering if someone had noticed the fact that from chapter 9 and on, the narrator's point of view has stopped being just Ana and suddenly become more open to other characters. This is not my usual writing style, and I thought it was a good time to experiment with it, since it appears to get the reader a lot closer to the other characters. But who cares, anyway?

The chapters in order:

District 9 - PoHa - 02
Chapter 2 - You know what they do to guys like us in prison?
After three weeks, she was already feeling sorry that she ever came to study in this city, although not at all for having dumped Keith. She actually wondered why she hadn't done it before. Sure, she missed some of the affection and, well, the other stuff, but clearly it had never been worth it. Besides, she had other things on her mind now.
She never called Rineke. She had thought about it. He was handsome. He seemed intelligent. Maybe he liked her. But then she always remembered the kind of company he kept and gave up dreaming. College was as pointless as ever. She didn't even like what she was studying! But her parents had paid for this year, so no point letting it go to waste…
So she attended her classes, kept turning in assignments and day by day tolerated her roommate's habit of leaving her dirty laundry wherever it dropped. She liked her, of course, but they barely saw each other anyway but for breakfast sometimes. District 9 - PoHa - 03
Chapter 3 – There's a prawn on my couch - Part 1
The door swung open and Ana poked her head inside the dark and listened for signs that there was someone home. The place seemed deserted. It was much too early for Syrup to be home yet.
"Ok, come on" she helped the prawn pass through the narrow doorway, which still didn't prevent him from hitting his injured leg against the frame.
"Oh, jeez" she said, picking up a panty from the floor. "Sorry for the mess. My roommate's a pi… Wait, what am I saying? You're a prawn!" She threw the panty back on the ground and resumed carrying her guest.
By the time they had crossed the tiny sitting room in shadows and reached the sofa, the alien seemed ready to faint. She quickly set him down on the old couch. Then she violently pulled him back up again.
"Wait, wait, wait! Lean here for a sec" she patted the sofa's arm to make him understand and he exasperatedly, yet obediently did so while she dashed past a door and then came back with an old b District 9 - PoHa - 03b
Chapter 3 - There's a prawn on my couch - Part 2
* = Prawn talk
Ana felt the call of nature sometime after midnight. Maybe a long time after midnight. It took her a few moments to regain full consciousness of the events that had taken place earlier that night. When she did she looked over at the prawn.
He was still sleeping peacefully, though at some point he had moved and laid down to rest his entire body on the couch. Ana watched him for a few seconds until her bladder gave a painful throb and she had to get up.
On her way to the bathroom she heard a snort and the prawn's breathing stopped. She turned around to see him peek over  the couch's arm, looking for her.
"I'll be right back, keep sleeping."
Ana disappeared behind a door and the prawn shifted lazily on the couch and started looking around at the walls and ceiling, taking in all the details that he couldn't enjoy a few hours ago for exhaustion and pain. A short while passed in which he kept himself entertained with e District 9 - PoHa - 04
Chapter 4 – Welcome to the Space Jam
* = Prawn talk
Ana could not deny that her experience with the prawn had affected her.  In the days that followed she had no choice but to concentrate on her studies and work, which kept her very busy. And yet her mind kept trailing off and going absent as she wondered whether she should call and ask about Kyler's condition, since the wait for news was becoming unbearably and unexpectedly long.  How ironic.
Of course, it was not like she cared that much, but was it really so hard to at least show they still knew she existed? She had found a wounded alien in the street and taken it to her home. She had cared for it, fed it and all without asking for anything in return but a little recognition, jeez. It had been the weirdest thing that had ever happened to her. It was slightly too much to just end like that.
So was that it?
It was not a choice of hers to care. She didn't even think she would be waiting for a call, but t District 9 - PoHa - 05
Chapter 5 – Prawn phone home
"Elliot, you're crazy" muttered the boy in pajamas as he ventured into the thick, dark foliage armed with one flashlight and one pair of socks on his otherwise bare feet. The crickets chirped and the dry grass crackled, but aside from that it was all too quiet in the chilly nighttime.
The boy reached a brick wall and suddenly a strange quiet gurgling joined the sounds of the night, guiding Elliot in the dark until he found a trail of footprints, three-fingered, unlike anything he'd ever seen. He followed them despite the fear towards another forest of tall dry plants and the gurgling grew clearer. Stem after stem he made his way through, and after a few steps he uncovered a creature ugly and nightmarish.
The creature growled and screeched, waving its arms before it, and Elliot screamed, his flashlight falling from his grasp.
All around Ana there were cries of surprise and some laughter. She jumped slightly on her seat herself. After regaining po District 9 - PoHa - 06Breaking the habit
The clockwork collar still looked strange on Ana, as Ana's friends made a point to indicate. She hadn't taken it off much lately, except for sleeping, for example, and that implied having her mates at the university see it hanging from her neck.
"What the heck is that, Ana?" Gery laughed, signaling towards the dangling pieces of clockwork and needles. "Is it like steampunk, or something?"
"Yeah, I guess."
"It really doesn't match your colors."
"Where did you get that?"
"A friend gave it to me."
"Ooh, a friend!" Sean sung. "New friend?"
"Yeah, it's… it was something silly that he made and… I think he just wanted to get rid of it. I don't really know him that well, actually."
"Ana's having no trouble getting over Keith" they joked.
What everybody said about Kyler's gift was usually not at all flattering, and so after a few days she stopped wearing it to class. They were right, after all. The bronze and copper colors didn't, by any means, match her usua

District 9 - PoHa - 08Prayer of the refugee
"Love what you've done with your hair, Syrup."
Syrup clicked her tongue and stroked the top of her head narcissistically.
"Yeah, it was about time, huh? Everybody was thinking it too. Blue was way too artificial. Purple's much more natural."
"You're right" Ana agreed amusingly, stirring her coffee so as to distract herself from the urge to giggle. Laughing in Syrup's face would probably never bother Syrup, but just in case…
They had decided to have breakfast at a cheap pub after they'd realized they had no power at home for the third time that month. Syrup and Ana ate together more often now that Syrup had taken up another job that didn't require her having to spend the nights out. She looked much healthier in her new purple hair than she had in a long time.
"So what of your friends, then? You're still seeing them?" Syrup asked casually, referring to the Poleepkwa and the people at PoHA, though she didn't know it.
"Yeah, I see them almost every Sunday.
