Hi!
How's it going? ^_^
Jumping the bandwagon (though it's a _bit_ too late) this time around...
Don't feel bad about being late - I'm always glad to get whatever kinds of
responses I can! Besides, considering it took me this long to even respond
to you, I can hardly blame you for being a bit tardy.
Well, I *can*, but then I would look like a hypocrite. :p
Copy-Pasted Disclaimer: I reserve the right to be totally wrong, to
misquote
facts and to make errors in judgment.
That seems only fair - being horribly wrong is a right that I gleefully
reserve for myself, so I am more than happy to share it with others when
they ask nicely. :)
I also C&C as I read, so what I said at
one point can easily be retracted on the next, depending on how the story
progresses. I don't claim to be the authority on fanfiction writing...
None of us do. It's really more of a gestalt thing, I think. By which I of
course refer to how some Transformers can combine to form other, bigger
robots. I don't really do pyschology, but if giant cartoon robots are
throwing parts of the scenery at each other, my attention is all but
guaranteed.
Ignore all my comments in applying to your
fic? You have the right to do so.
Ach! I would ne'er do such a thing! Rest assured, I seriously consider every
suggestion I get from people about this fic. I can't make everyone happy,
but I am trying to tip my hat whenever possible.
It also occurs to me that my lexicon may not be at par with yours,
Yeah, I use a lot of funny words, sometimes. I have a very odd vocabulary.
:p
As such, it'd be appreciated if you'd have the patience to clear up some of
my questions on those particular instances. Thanks.
Well, I'll do what I can, but I'm pretty sure you're better at a lot of this
than I am.
Sheesh. My first fic post in nearly four years and it's behind schedule.
So
much for my rep as a fast authour.
Wow. Four years. From what I can see so far with the responses you've been
getting, this fic was worth the wait.
Yeah, I used to actually be rather good at this "fanfic" thing. Shame how I
just vanished without warning one day. I wonder what happened to me? ^_^
Then again, I guess a four year gap would pretty nicely
(wince) Oh, don't mind me. I just wince every time an adverb is used as a
descriptor for another adverb.
Aw, man... when someone can start calling you on stuff like that and you
haven't even reached the STORY yet, that's a bad sign. K'thardin was right -
I totally need to stop having these long rants at the start of each fic.
It's like I'm walking into the enemy trenches and handing them free bullets,
over here. :p
I was planning to have this ready for Tuesday, but
I wound up spending a whole day helping my sister dig her car out of a
snowbank and it put me behind schedule.
Excuses, excuses! :P
Yeah, yeah! I get it: I should shut up and save the drama for that LJ I'm
supposed to have but don't. :p
For anyone who missed my explanation earlier, this is both the
Ronin Summer you may remember and an entirely animal at the same time.
I believe you missed 'different' in between 'entirely' and 'animal',
correct me
if I'm wrong.
SON OF A....
_<
Okay, that's twice now, and we still aren't even in the actual *story*. Sir,
you may be many things, but most important of all is that you are *good*. I
can see I shall have to pull myself up by the bootstraps around here if I
expect to make it very far. ^_^
This is a whole new beginning for
Ronin Summer, so feel free to hop on even if you missed me the first time
around.
'Kay. I intend to do that.
Yay! I was hoping I might pick up a new reader or two. Not that I don't love
hearing from all my old readers too... when they remember to write... ^_~
Though I've noticed that you've been a busy beaver, sending out chapters
left and right, what the hell.
Yeah, that takes some getting used to, huh? I'm one of those people who
writes very quickly, and usually has very little else worth doing, so my
fics tend to churn out fairly steadily.
Uh, by which I pretty much just mean THIS fic. This fic churns out fairly
steadily. I am a pony who knows one very impressive trick. :p
the Sailor Senshi still belong to Kodansha and
Cloverway, and the Samurai Troopers are the legal property of Sunrise and
Bandai Entertainment.
Hmmm... Whatever happened to Naoko Takeuchi?
The last I heard, she was living quite comfortably and was incredibly happy
with her life. Why do you ask?
And what about (googles) HajimeYatate?
Woah. Barely anybody cares enough to look up stuff like that. I'm starting
to feel nervous.
Don't they, the original authors, get a legal disclaimer?
You're right, they should. I've re-written my disclaimer to give credit
where credit is due. Next chance I have, I'll have to go through all my
chapters and update those disclaimers to make sure they give proper respect.
RONIN SUMMER: CONVERGENCE
A Bishoujou Senshi Sailor Moon / Yoroiden Samurai Troopers cross-over
FYI: 'crossover' is a dictionary-verifiable word. No need for the hyphen.
Are we going to actually reach the STORY at some point, or will those
responses have to be continued in another post? ^_^
That's a very nice and insightful look into Rei Hino's uppity psyche if I
do
say so myself. _This_ is how Third Person Limited should be used.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked how I wrote that, because I go back to that
particular POV multiple times over the next several chapters. Some people
have mentioned that I need to cut back on it a little, so it may be getting
reduced a little in the future.
place as jammed with pedestrians as Shibuya, she would have thought that
Ami's blue hair would have helped her stick out at least a little.
Depends. If we're talking RL, then she's a sore thumb. But in the Anime
World?
You're better off picking someone with brown eyes out of the crowd.
LOL! ^_^
Also, a very good point. I'm used to blue hair == genius, though, so it goes
to figure that it will be one of the rarer hair colours in a given crowd.
Even mixed in amongst all the green and blonde and red and purple and brown
and plaid....
the only thing Rei could see was a giant mass of shifting people,
squeezing and working
around each other as cars waited patiently on all four sides of the
intersection.
(nods sagely) Ah. Japan.
Yes. In fact, this is Shibuya. The Shibuya Crosswalk is famous for being the
busiest crosswalk in the world, and it is very rare not to see it positively
*crowded* with people. There are a lot of tourists who go there just to
stare at it.
Checking her watch, Rei leaned back against the large dog
statue that graced the front of the Toyoku station. Hachiko, the loyal dog
who had waited every day for his master to arrive. At the moment, Rei
could empathize.
Hmmm. Good writing and storytelling featuring proper and subtle segue from
Hachiko the loyal dog and Rei's empathy towards said canine... Check.
Thanks. I was trying very hard to drive home the fact that Rei was in, well,
Tokyo, as opposed to Generic City. I actually checked the Japan Railway
maps, and this station in Shibuya is the one place that both the Senshi
(living in Minato ward) and the Troopers (who tend to operate in Shinjuku),
would both need to go to in order to catch the same train to Yokohama. Given
the fact that it also has such a neat legend, with the story of Hachiko, and
is adjacent to a place as iconic as the Shibuya Crosswalk, it seemed to be
the most atmospheric place to start off the fic.
Besides, using the Tokyo Tower these days is just... gauche. I mean,
*everybody's* used it. :p
"You know something?" she asked the statue. "Waiting is really
overrated. How the heck did you do this for eleven years? I'm going
crazy after eleven minutes." For example, she added silently, she was
starting to talk to dog statues.
Heh. Damn, I wish I reviewed this earlier. So far this fic has been doing
more hits and less misses. ^_^
Glad to hear it. Sounds like I was off to a good start, back then. Hopefully
things have gotten better and not worse as time has passed. Darned if I can
tell, though, so I promise nothing. ^_^
Rei shook her head and snorted. Even in Shibuya, there was only
one person who could possibly pull off that hairstyle.
Chibi-usa: (indignant) HEY!
Rei: "What? You have more of a 'bunny ear' thing going on. There is only ONE
meatball head."
"Wow, Shibuya sure has a lot of stuff!" Usagi clutched her
packages to herself and jogged across the short distance between herself
and Rei.
Suggest: revising the second 'herself' to 'her', since the second herself
sounds redundant and the 'her' fits quite nicely as a substitute anyway.
Good point. I would hate to be reported to the Society of Redundancy
Society. :p
"That's okay: you can just find some way to pay me back when we
Suggest: replacing the colon with a semicolon, an ellipsis, or a period.
You know, sometimes it seems like no matter which one I use, someone thinks
I should have used one of the others. In this case I am forced to agree,
though: a semicolon would work a little better. I use too many ellipses to
actually insert another one on purpose.
make it to Minato Mirai 21!" Usagi giggled and clapped her hands. "This is
going to be so cool! Nobody but you and me and Ami, just like in the old
days!"
Hmmm. A well-researched fic, this one.
I try, I really do. One of the reasons it takes me a while to produce some
of the chapters is that I have to stop and double-check my info in the
middle of a scene sometimes.
"Can't blame Minako," Rei said with a shrug. "Artemis got sick
just yesterday."
Minako: Oh, that damn Oscar! (cries) He'll pay, Artemis... I swear, he'll
pay.
Artemis: (wailing and gnashing his teeth)
Augh, what did I do to deserve an Oscar reference? Let me know, and I'll do
my best to stop. :p
"Smells like a boyfriend to me!" Usagi said, with a wicked twinkle
(wince) Oh, don't mind me. Just seeing 'boyfriend' and 'wicked' in the same
sentence of a Sailor Moon fic gives me flashes of the North American dub of
Sailor Moon.
Ah, yes, Cloverway did overdo that a little, didn't they? In retrospect, I
have come to have a new respect for some the work that DiC produced.
Hatchet-wielding little monsters that they were, at least those editors were
not quite as atrocious as what came later. Thank God I was watching fansubs
by that point.
As a bit of trivia, the dub of YST (Ronin Warriors) is most notable for the
fact that it has been aired in its full entirety on three different
networks, and has yet to have a single second of footage cut from it.
Considering when it was made, that makes it the first anime that was ever
released on American television without any content editing. They even left
in all of the references to killing and death, to say nothing of Kayura's
brief but memorable nude scene - and this was getting aired in the same
early morning timeslot as stuff like "Care Bears" and "Bananas in Pajamas"!
I just always found that weird. I *appreciated* it, but I found it weird.
"Usagi, if you ever do that to me again, I will murder you," Rei
hissed angrily as she pinched her friend by the elbow and dragged her a
safe distance away from the gates.
Hehehe. Nice. Usually in my experience of C&Cing, fics tend to either rely
on cheap, fourth-wall breaking humor
Oh, rest assured - I will be doing a fair bit of that, too. Mostly because I
just can't resist having people poke a little fun at themselves every once
in a while. I am trying to keep people as IC as possible, though. One of my
regrets looking back on the original series was that it did seem to be
trying a little too hard for referential humour. I think the story suffered
a little because of it.
or inaptly applying western jokes to an
eastern setting for a few laughs. Universal, plot-related humor is a
welcome change to the drollness.
Well, thank you. I'm not too proud to admit that it is also much harder to
do, so I'm glad my efforts are being appreciated. ^_^
"By golly, if our government wants to build
a gigantic Ferris wheel, it is our patriotic duty to ride it until we can
stand no more!"
Heh. Though at this point, your (portrayal of) Usagi sounds suspiciously
like Tomo from Azumanga Daio. ^^;
I think I saw a few episodes of that, once. Which one was she, again?
Seriously, any similarity is purely by accident. I've seen more episodes of
Maico 2010 than I have of Azumanga Daioh. And barely anybody has seen Maico
2010.
In ancient texts it was
known as Carcosa, and then later dubbed Tartarus.
(raises hand) Ooh, ooh! I have some more! Hell! Makai! Pandemonium!
Hey, I made my HP Lovecraft reference with "Carcosa". I'm willing to leave
it there. ^_^
Arago, the Demon Lord Emperor, was a vile titan of strength and
power, existing only to conquer and raze everything that his cruel eye
beheld. His lands became known as the Evil Dynasty,
Arago: A bit cliche and cartoonish a title, but it works. (shrug)
Arago: "Hi! I'm from the Dynasty."
Beryl: "Which Dynasty?"
Arago: "The EVIL Dynasty! Because we're... y'know... not very pleasant, and
such. Get it?"
Beryl: "That's okay - I'm not too good at naming stuff, either."
As you have ordered, we shall
endeavour to convince the Senshi that this... Jadeite... is the one behind
everything, leaving you free of their suspicion."
Indeed, this fic is based on anime canon, what with the token mention of
YST Luna and Jadeite still alive and all. S'all good.
Yep, I'm going by the anime. Mostly. I will admit that I am treating the
Code Name Wa: Sailor V manga and the YST image CDs as canon, too, but only
because they do not really conflict with any of the events in the anime and
give me more stuff to toy around with. :)
Badamon had not crawled
his way back from the brink of death just to take revenge on a couple of
girls in sailor fuku and help a self-important would-be tyrant gain the
throne that belonged to his true master.
Nice. Conflict of interest is always good news to a work of fiction.
Oh, good. Because these guys are about as conflicted as it gets. The number
of seperate factions working at cross-purposes to each other on this side is
almost dizzying. ^_^
Yes, Nise Suiko would serve quite well for both Radanthus' purpose
(sigh) I give up. If the likes of you and Angus MacSpon will insist on
using the 'apostrophe-no-s' rule on singular s-ending words/names to denote
possessives, then so be it. Just... make it consistent, okay?
If it makes you feel better, we'll pretend that it's just the way people do
it in the Commonwealth. I've just grown up seeing it to the point where I do
it automatically. Placing an extra "s" on the end when you already have one
sitting right there just seems extraneous to me.
spare their feet the walk. "So what's with the bruise? Did Yokohama's
most promising tighthead
Suggest: tight-head
Sorry, not this time. "Tighthead Prop" is the official title for one of the
positions in rubgy.
The Tighthead Prop (also called the #3) is the player who has the job of
facing off against both the "Hooker" and the "Loosehead Prop" of the
opposing team. Basically, his job is to dominate and control two other
players at the same time. Most Tighthead Props are reknowned for their
prodigous strength and the sheer brutality they display on the field. Their
job descrption actually includes the term "mauling".
Shuu Rei Fuan is, of course, a natural. He also wrestles and competes in
martial arts tournaments in his spare time. Today's lesson? Do NOT pick a
fight with Shuu Rei Fuan unless he is sleeping and you have a gun. :p
"This won't take nearly as long as you deserve," Nise Suiko
growled, and advanced towards her. With each step, the ashphalt
Shouldn't it be 'asphalt' or is this (ashphalt) how it's spelled where
you're from?
ashphalt is how it's spelled where I am from. We also spell "donut" as
"doughnut". It's one of those weird things that takes getting used to. :p
Rei pushed herself off of the ground, blood trickling down her
face.
Not really a criticism but more of an observation; I've noticed the trend
of Sailor Moon Crossovers (or even Sailor Moon fics) to make the senshi
bleed.
Huh. You know, I've never really noticed it, myself, but now that you've
brought it up, that is a little odd. I can only assume that since we can't
rely on panel-wide sound effects and rapidly flashing lights to show all the
cool stuff going on, we tend to focus more on the small details to drive
home the danger of the situation. If someone is bleeding, it is usually a
clear sign that they are in trouble.
I'd tone down the violence a little, but many of my villains (especially
Nise Suiko) seem to be raging psychopaths who keep sharp objects readily
available. It would actually be a little stranger if they were to *not* draw
a little blood every now and again.
What's up with that? What is it with Sailor Moon fanfic authors and their
fascination over bleeding teenaged girls care of
stronger-than-the-average-youma opponents? It's kinda creepy in a sadistic
sort of way.
*shrugs*
Hey, everyone knows that a good blade job will up the tempo of any match.
Just ask Ric Flair.
"I am Sailor Moon, and in the name of Emperor Meiji, Marine Day,
and the Kanagawa Board of Tourism, I will punish you!"
"This has got to be some sort of sick joke," Nise Suiko groaned.
....An overused one, in fact. It's almost a prerequisite for a Sailor Moon
fic to have it.
Not just fics: there are actual episodes of the series where the youma have
made fun of her for those speeches!
I can say two things in Usagi's defence, though: first, that she only gives
those lame speeches because she was trying to emulate Sailor V, and second,
that at least when Sailor Moon starts to give a speech about the importance
of love, justice, and flossing regularly, the monsters are compelled to stop
what they are doing and listen to her.
Optimus Prime used to have the same darned ability. That guy was such a
badass that when he decided to lecture a Decepticon, they all knew well
enough to sit down and wait patiently until he was done.
Nise Suiko had time to cry out, a single, wordless wail of despair
as he felt the universe shift and alter into a shape that had no room for
him within it.
I like the way you worded it. Certainly beats how most SM crossover authors
would skim past the abilities of the senshi to concentrate more on the
_other_ 'cross-overed' series and its apparent superiority to what
essentially is a story for young girls.
My general assumption on ability levels is that the Troopers may be a little
stronger than the Senshi in terms of raw power, but they also have a lot of
flaws and drawbacks that the Senshi do not suffer from. Rei, for example,
does not lose the use of her flame powers when she is dunked in water, while
Ryo does. Makoto can use her Thunder Dragon whenever she wants, but Seiji
can't perform his Thunderbolt Cut if he does not have his enchanted sword.
Each group also has powers that the other team lacks (the Sailor Senshi can
teleport, for example, whereas the Samurai Troopers can form magical
barriers), so in the long run it is more or less even.
After all, both the Ginzuisho and the Kikoutei can shatter the universe and
recreate it in their own image on a whim. When they both have that kind of
power available, there is really not much point dithering over who is
stronger.
Furthermore: Again, though most people would want to portray the little
Sailor Senshi as amateurs, I do remember that they had at least a modicum
of sense to not reveal to the world their true identities. The prose does a
better job of using their names than the characters themselves do.
I've been working on cleaning that up a little. This is one of the places
where I clearly screwed up, so I will be sure to avoid doing that in the
future.
"No problem," Usagi said generously, laughing with relief. "You
know me, I'm always up for some adventure - fighting evil by moonlight,
winning love by daylight, all that good stuff."
O_o Good lord, fic. Don't go there.
Just making sure we were all still awake... ^_^
"I do NOT snore!" Usagi interjected, squirming free of Rei's hand.
"That is a filthy lie my enemies made up to get at me!
And here we go again. My, she's on a roll today with the quips and
one-liners... so much so that I've almost mistaken her for Dhiti of Sailor
Moon 4200 fame. ^_^;;
I'll try to take that as a compliment. ^_^
I'm still quite undecided whether or not I like this new fic Usagi of
yours. (thinks) Oh well. Better her than an ever-bawling, ever-whiny
version of Usagi, for sure.
That version of Usagi is something of a fanon creation, I've learned. The
actual character as she was protrayed in the series proper was a much more
cheerful and light-hearted girl. She may have been a reluctant heroine at
first, but she was by no means the useless clutz or the whining crybaby that
a lot of fics make her out to be. It's really just a subtle form of
character bashing, the way some writers treat poor ol' Meatball Head.
Watching the original anime or the live action series gives a much different
picture of her than reading certain fanfics will. :p
I am not perfect either, but my take on Usagi is something of a backlash
against her milque-toast portrayal in a lot of the stories I have read.
Actually, so are a lot of my Troopers. Honestly, if I read one more story
where Ryo and Seiji succumb to existential angst over the horrible nature of
their duties or Touma is the emotionally scarred child of a broken home, I
will not be held accountable for my actions. ^_^
To Be Continued...
And I can't wait to see the rest... someday, when my backlog has been
cleared.
Well, there's more of it to read the longer you wait. I just thought someone
should warn you. ^_^
Not bad. Not bad at all.
Hooray!
But first things first. Here's a summary of my
grammar comments for your perusal:
Uh-oh.....
Grammar Rule #0: Watch out for speling erors and typoes.
They are the ongoing bane of my existence, I swear. I can't explain it, but
for some reason every time I try to spell-check, it makes my spelling WORSE.
I admit that I have stopped doing it. Obviously I need to begin again. >_<
Grammar Rule #21: Eliminate commas, that are, not necessary. Parenthetical
words, however, should be enclosed in commas. (This one's been explained
above and then some.)
*sigh* I am a comma whore. The darned thing is that this is one of those
things that I can't rely on a machine to help me with - it pretty much boils
down to me needed to read the words that are *there*, instead of the ones my
brain knows are *supposed* to be there. :P
Grammar Rule #38: Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.
See my comment above on that one. I need to proof-read. Honestly, I need
people who will proof-read for me. My mind keeps filling in the missing
words because it "knows" that they should be there.
Grammar Rule #57: Hyphenate words that should be hyphenated (usually
compound-descriptors) and unhyphenate words that shouldn't be hyphenated,
even though it'd seem that either form is correct (Don't leave those words
hanging in mid-air!).
I shall do my best. Just keep in mind I didn't get this advice until after
my eighth chapter, so don't be surprised if the cavalcade of bad grammar
continues for some time. :p
Grammar Rule #58: Using adverbs to describe adverbs is truly awfully
redundant.
Oh, come on! I did that ONCE, and it wasn't even in the fic proper! ^_^
Okay, okay, I'll accept it. I should know better than to do that, even when
it is in a less formal tone.
....And that's that on the Grammar Rule breakage. Well done, Mr. Author.
Only five broken rules? It's an astounding 'batting' average indeed.
Yeah, but I can do better. And intend to, now that I know I'm being GRADED
on it. ^_^
It was great that, as much as possible, you avoided cliche.
I won't be able to keep it up forever. I mean, there's an evil twin bouncing
around, for heaven's sake. That just *screams* cliche.... :p
Sure, there were
times when the narrative got so heavy-handed that it might as well been
written
by Chaucer or whoever-the-author-of-Moby-Dick-was,
Herman Melville.
Also of particular note was the amount of research done with the fic.
Hearty handshakes and congratulations on that; it's always nice to see that
a fic's setting is well-established, cultural differences and all. This
Japan is certainly very much Japan-like compared to the Anytown, USA feel
of most other fanfic 'Japans' out there.
Thanks. That was one of my most important goals in this fic, actually. I
really wanted to write an adventure for the Senshi and Troopers that made
full use of the fact they were Japanese heroes who were actually living *in*
Japan. I try to research as much as possible for this stuff - it's actually
possible to go to Yokohama and find the exact hotel that I have the Senshi
staying in, for example.
You know, if you're ever in Japan and have nothing better to do than track
down all the notable locations in my puny little fic, that is. :p
Oh well. In any case, it's a halfway decent fight scene nonetheless.
WOO! I am halfway decent! ^_^
As for Usagi's particular characterization, I'll be frank. It's a bit out
of character and a little too exaggerated for my tastes.
It's an uphill battle for her, I agree. One of the many reasons I set this
post "SuperS" was that a lot of the Senshi got a bit sillier in that season,
Usagi included. I mean, they actually revealed that her greatest dream was
to be a little kid again, so that she could eat all the candy she wanted and
not get in trouble for acting like a brat. ^_^
It's _good_ in terms of
it being funny and I'm all for a wittier, funnier, and sunnier Usagi. I
couldn't decide whether she reminded me more of the hyperactive Tomo of
Azumanga Daio fame or Dhiti of Sailor Moon 4200 fame.
I couldn't help you there: I'm really not too familiar with either of them.
:p
Nevertheless, point is that I'm not really getting the Usagi 'vibe' from
your Usagi. Or maybe it's just me. I do understand that your portrayal of
her may be necessary for you to write the story (in terms of, say, you like
this kind of Usagi better than the usual Usagi, or this is how you
interpret Usagi from what you've seen/read).
It's a bit of both, probably. I am sick and tired of the whiny and annoying
Usagi, and I have seen her do things in canon that I do not feel fit that
interpretation of her.
There will be stuff for Usagi to be scared and reluctant about in later
chapters - at this point, she is supposed to be blissfully unaware that
anything is wrong. Teasing Rei and scarfing candy are pretty much her two
major concerns if the world is not actively in danger. ^_^
Just watch out on making Usagi a bit too alien.
Usagi: "Yeah! Don't you go making me seem like an alien!"
Luna: "You're from the MOON, Usagi."
Usagi: "I have no idea what you're getting at, Luna...."
Don't worry though,
because 'underneath the underneath', she's still recognizable as Usagi, and
that's not by name only.
Well, that's always good to hear. I actually like Usagi a lot more than it
may seem from some of the ways I treat her. Remember, characters - we only
tease because we love. ^_^
In regards to the Commonwealth rules that you've made use of in your fic...
It does make the C&C a little harder, what with all the odd spelling and
such, but it's the way I was raised. Spelling things the other way would
just seem wrong to me.
Thing is, it makes me kind of wonder why you did a N.A. dub joke care of
Usagi, since you're apparently not from North America.
Hey! Who said I'm not from North America? ^_^
Perhaps you were merely
pandering to the large American fanbase? Perhaps you're Canadian?
Yeah, that one. The "Canadian" one. I don't pander to people based on
location - I prefer to pander to them based on how much they've done for me
lately. ^_^
Or maybe you're actually a fan of the N.A. dub/you were first exposed to SM
by the N.A. dub? I'm merely curious, is all.
That, too. Where I lived at the time, Ronin Warriors and Sailor Moon used to
come on one right after the other in the mornings before school. Clearly, my
mind was irrevocably warped by the exposure. To this day I still think that
little mandolin solo they used to do whenever Tuxedo Mask arrived was
actually pretty cool.
Anyway, thanks for writing! Sorry I didn't get to this sooner. Looks like
now *I'm* the one with back log....
Later!
