Waaahahahahahaaa! God, This was still just as funny as the first
time around. Some of the jokes had me in stitches, even though I
*knew* what to expect, and *that's* real art.
First of all: Yes, sharks and other seafood *can* drown. They
rely on the oxygen dissolved in the water. Normally, the water
takes up enough oxygen by the natural turbulences of the sea or
rivers, but a still pond doesn't (that's also the reason why an
aquarium always has this little bubbly thing in it). The
Jusenkyou pools are quite small, and a fully grown shark would
need more oxygen than the surface of such a pool would normally
absorb. It would use up all the ambient oxygen and then drown.
Also, sharks are salt-water fish, and Jusenkyou doesn't strike me
as a seaside resort.
I totally, absolutely and in every way loved all scenes with the
lugga... um, with Felix.
When Ukyou said she knew a psychiatrist who specializes in
obsession, I was on the verge of replying, "figures, that she
would know." But then I read your sequel, and I guess the point
is moot. :)
I think I'll actually write a more detailed C&C (But I don't
promise anything)
Sebastian (on to the sequel)
