You're listening to Leopard's radio programme, with Leopard, for Leopard and many others.
Direct to your heart, SOUL SHOUTS! Shouts...Shouts...Shouts...

RADIO LEOPARD!
Good evening, everyone. It's time for Radio Leopard, now broadcasting from the Marina Colony.
Tonight's programme starts off with a special segment. Once again we have a special guest returning to the show, the acclaimed colony critic, Leopard-san.
Ah, good evening. It's a pleasure returning to the show.
Last time you were on Radio Leopard, we contrasted the elegant Leopard Colony and the insignificant Kirkwood Structure colonies, if I recall correctly.
That's right.
Today you're here to offer a brief critique of the Marina Colony. What sort of comments might you have about what the Marina Colony has to offer the universe?
Well, most importantly, the location has come into question in my mind. An underwater colony might seem like a good idea to some, but having it in a fixed location is really passé in this day and age. Having a fixed structure when one might be better wandering the depths of the universe is really a mistake that shouldn't have to be explained. A hyperspace drive is essential for this as well! While the Dimensional Stabilizer is certainly an aim in the right direction, it's not quite what one should look for in a colony. Furthermore, the lack of any sort of central cannon makes me question if the Marina Colony has what it would take to be anywhere near the top tier of colonies.
That's quite a serious issue.
I agree. Furthermore, the civil planning and architectural standards are haphazard at best. While most colonies try to keep with well-designed city design and carefully selected buildings, not all of this is true with the Marina Colony. The colony seems to be built around a central underground structure that is focused merely on consuming food, sleeping, and bathing. While it's important to look your best and have access to tea, the lack of central chamber from which to watch all one's sensors and access the network is quite disturbing.
Not to mention the style of most of the buildings is quite questionable, as if built without desiring of keeping to a singular quality and character. It's rather disconcerting.
Oh, I agree, certainly. Is there any advice you might offer for improving the Marina Colony's facilities and ambience?
I highly suggest that the colony be turned over to better suited A.I. who might develop the Marina Colony into a formidable colony able to stand on its own in this world. Obviously I'd like to make some suggestions, but the candidate lists would be rather limited.
That's certainly an issue, isn't it? But if one such as yourself were to be able to take control, maybe you could help improve things greatly?
Well, of course I might be able to improve it. [Light chuckle.] But that's certainly up to Acumen isn't it?
That's right. Thank you once again for stopping by, Leopard-san.
It's a pleasure as always.
Please stay tuned for a brief advertisement from our sponsor.

Moving on to our second corner: Brother Leopard's Counseling Service!
[A short and simple radio jingle plays .]
For our first mail today, radio name "Lonely Heart"-san writes "How do you cheer yourself up when you're feeling depressed?"
Depression, I see. That's certainly a difficult thing to overcome. Obviously getting praise from other people is the best way to cheer up, but it's not always possible. Not everyone understands, of course, or they'll just brush away your problems like they're nothing to worry about.
So the most important thing is to find ways to praise yourself! The best course of action in this sort of case is to play Praise Shiritori! Find those good qualities in yourself and bring them to your attention!
Of course, if you want to play Criticism Shiritori about other people, that might help as well. It's all your decision, after all.
Other things you might try is something you enjoy drinking or doing! A good cup of Earl Grey or surfing the net are both great ideas!
For our second question tonight, Anonymous-san writes, "Is it stalking if you sleep in someone else's apartment?"
Well, that is... Without more information, this is a complex question. Obviously if the person invites you to sleep there, then it would not be stalking at all!
But as for if you arrive uninvited, you may bring up an issue of invasion of privacy. To invade someone's room without permission is something that may be unforgivable! Especially if they disturb your collections! Why, this one time this girl and her potato bun came up right into my room when I didn't even realize it! She even drank from the same cup I had just scanned from!
In situations like this, it's important that the occupant be able to defend their room against unwanted invaders. The best option is, of course, some manner of expelling the invaders. So don't be surprised if you fall through a dimensional gap if you are invading someone else's apartment.
As for stalking, it all depends on your intent. If you're there because you're following them, then it could be full-blown stalking! Obviously some of us draw more attention of this type than others, but there might be special cases if you are stalking them after they already invaded your own privacy.
In any case, make sure to include more information next time! My advice can only go so far without your cooperation.
As always, submit your questions at the Radio Leopard website at any time or mail them to:

Now, let's open the lines to callers...
((OOC: A few tl;dr amount of notes!
He won't be responding to people who try to talk to him before the call-in "segment". You'll just end up muted from his end while he continues to talk.
Each colour is a different tone:
Base colour = pretty much his usual tone
Gold = softer, kinder sounding speech
Red = a bit deeper than usual
Green = cheerful higher-pitched tone
For those that might not know, Shiritori is a popular Japanese word chain game, where each word/phrase must begin with the last syllable of the previous word/phrase. The game ends when a person ends a word with an "N" (ん) syllable in Japanese or runs out of unique things to say. (Since nothing begins with an "N" syllable in Japanese.)
While there isn't an actual Leopard Way, PM should be able to deliver mail to his address at the Education Center Dining Hall.
Also Brother Leopard = Leopard Aniki to Japanese speakers for the nuance. XD))
