Hi, y'all.  Please forward to those not on the FFML anymore (Willmore
et al).

Another excellent part, if darker than the others.  Chris assures me
it isn't dark, though I notice he doesn't mention how this will affect
*his* story in terms of darkness...plus I know where Ryouga ends up at
the end of this one.  *Sigh*...I suppose I should be happy.  I get my
wish...kind of.

*GRIN* be careful what ye wish fer, eh?

Say... what did you wish for anyways?

Anyway, standard disclaimer, make Ryo Saotome happy at the end or I'll
kill you, etc. etc.

Oh, I thought it was 'leave Bell-chan alone'.  Wella... if THAT
avenue is clear....

Specifics:  I'm guessing here, but I assume that Ross, Mike and RpM were
the major writers this part, with Kun-chan in there a bit.  The Ami
bits were really excellent, providing a sympathy for this Ryo that has
been lacking.  (See, I have to like Ryo a bit.  In TPOH, he's paired
with Akari.  Thus, RpM knows that Ryo must have a good heart.  Otherwise, 
we'd be seeing RpM cutlets on the FFML...)

Pardon.  TPOH Ryo has a GOOD HEART?!
*grumble*grumble* I made a villian, darnit.  
If he's likeable, that's entirely by accident.

O.o

Kaeri is a rather creepy way to take Smoke and Mirrors, which, as I 
recall, Mike kept assuring us wasn't a darkfic.  Note to authors:  I
give you permission to kill off this Ryo, but let's see Kaeri recover
at least a *bit* of sanity.

But she's very sane when she's around Ryo Muhoshin...
so if we kill Ryo M. then... well...

Caught the Surreal World and Gilligan bits, as well as Macross and 
Lodoss Wars.  But what was the San Wei ref of?

*shrug* dunno.  That's Mike's bit.

Nice blending of the previous fics here, especially the prologue.

thankyee, kind sir :)

Get your formatting correct all the way through.  Lines between 
paragraphs vanish for a few pages halfway through (the bits I suspect
Kun-chan wrote).

Eh?  Whoooops.  Must fix before we dump to RAAC.

I miss Childra and Ishido.  

You may assume that those two are out somewhere private snuggling.

Don't miss Rat one bit.

Oh dear.  You won't like act 6 then.

I get the feeling Miyabi is the *real* villain here.  She is the one
doing the most damage to the timeline... :-)

Ain't she cute when she does it, though?

Though I suspect most of the MOC bits were RpM, the bit with the gay
Ryouga hitting on Muhoshin *had* to be Willmore...

Guess again. :)  You're right, and you're wrong.

Now, if the segment had mentioned SHEEP, then you could assume
that Willmore had a hand in it..... pardon the pun.

Overall, this was excellent.  It flowed very nicely, and Mike has
really become an excellent addition to the team.  I remind you, 
however, that most plays have either 2, 3, or 5 acts.  

Um.... er... how about 7 or 9?  n.n;;;;

Hence, this is one fucked-up fic.

Ayup.

But then, you knew that.

Ayup.
