Queen Beryl frowned faintly. Ever since she had finally
managed to
punch open a hole back to the normal universe, she'd had a
vague feeling
like something was missing.
Scott: Her mind?
Madoka: Her sense of taste?
Akane: Her left eye?
Beryl: I am NOT Odin!
I thought Odin was missing his *right* eye?
...left eye? Wait a minute...
"General Jinnai, report." Beryl said, hoping that the
control
Scott: So this is where the El Hazard part comes in. You know,
this
is kind of disappointing... I liked the emphasis on MB.
Bailesu: I couldn't get four male generals without corrupting
everyone's
love interests, which would have required either introducing new
characters, importing new love interests from another series, or
not
killing the generals. Since my contract requires a high body
count, I
decided to import the generals.
Hey, just so long as you can afford the tariffs...^_^
[Madoka and Akane shake their heads.]
Scott: ...No? But he even has the same first name...
Makoto: I promise I am NOT going to be Sailor Jupiter. If I can
help it.
Also, I haven't met Fatora yet in this universe.
Thank the kami...we do *not* need to see Mizuhara in a miniskirt.
Akane: Where the heck did softball come from?
Suzu: The United States.
Ask a stupid question, get a smartass answer. ^_^;;;
Madoka: Two planets have swimmers, and none have field hockey?
That's unexpected.
Bailesu: D'oh! I repeated myself! I will note that I have never
in my
life met a person who has actually played Field Hockey, though.
[goes to
pick a new sport for Mercury)
Maybe because field hockey died out in the 70s? People play Roller
Hockey now.
Akane: I wonder why they're all reborn on Earth, instead of the
other
planets and the moon...
Luna: One, Queen Serenity sent them here. Two, the other planets
are now
burnt out unihabitable shells. You can't be reborn on Mars, for
example,
when there are no humans to give birth to you. Earth has the only
mothers.
It's a mother, alright...
"I have something that can help." Luna leaped into the air,
"Rise,
rise, cast off this form of man, become the...oh wait, wrong
magic
Scott: For accuracy's sake, it's "Gone, gone, oh form of man, /
Rise
the demon, Etrigan." Don't ask me how I remember that.
Bailesu: Well, Luna wasn't getting it right anyway.
So Luna not only got drafted into this fic, she got a portion of
Minako's brain as part of the deal? I sure hope you're offering her a
good salary for this...
Everyone filed into the classroom and was quite surprised to
see
that Namamura-sensei, aka Na-chan, was not there that day.
Instead a very
Akane: Who is Namamura, and what has he done with Namura-sensei?
Bailesu: The author can't spell today.
The author's kana is atrocious too, but let's not get into that. ^_^
groggy Kyoko-sensei was apparently substituting. Except that
she was
Madoka: The same thing Kyoko did with Kyoto-sensei?
Bailesu: While here, the author has subtitles that seemed to
indicate her
name was Kyoko.
Much like this author originally made a huge goof because the
subtitles on my first copy of vol. 1 of MKR said Escudo weapons
"glow"...
The Saturday afternoon Principal-Teachers conference had
Ryoko-sensei worried. Not only had Namamura-kun been sick for
a week, but
Madoka: Why do Namura and Kyoto get referred to by their family
names, but Momoi by her personal name?
Ryoko: Because I get a starring role and they get to be sick and a
monster respectively.
What, neither of them is a sick monster? ^_^
Ryouko-sensei and Luna weren't having much luck, either.
They were
trapped in a side-hallway with two badly dressed youma in plaid
suits and
a horde of drooling zombified students closing in. Ryouko took
this
Akane: Ah, now they're zombified, instead of zombieized.
Pluto: It's a progressive thing. First you get Zombieized, then
zombified, then zombied.
No, getting zombied is when you've been hanging around that resort
hotel bar too long...
Madoka: It still looks a bit rushed. It could use a little more
proofreading.
Bailesu: I'm rather bad at proofing my own work, unfortunately.
Which is
why I send these stories to prereading lists like this before it
goes to
RAAC :) And it feels rushed for two reasons: 1. I'm trying for a
fast
pace so that this story doesn't have to be 20000 pages long. 2. I
don't
want any filler episodes where nothing much happens. Sailor Moon
has a
lot of episodes which are okay to watch, but don't really further
the
plot. MBoy isn't quite so bad that way, but it has its moments of
filler
as well. I'm trying to go on the no-filler diet :)
The Eternal Lost Lurker would like to take this opportunity to glare
at anyone who makes a crack about chapter 23 of O:RS after that
comment... ^_^
