This post was CCd to FFML but has yet to show up... but here's my reply,
nevertheless.

Hiya Gary!

Aloha!

I know this little comment email is about a week late, but I've
been a real lazy git of late.

You aren't the only one. You'll notice that there was no chapter of this
out this week.

 I only noticed one formatting error;
everything else are just comments I had while reading. Hopefully,
the other commenters didn't make remarks that were too
similar to mine...

She moved forward in her chair as she started to shape the
rice into the form of a pyramid.

"This is important.  This means something!"

It's a conspiracy, I tell ya! :-)

       "Try to do the honorable thing, son," Genma said. "A true
martial artist doesn't hide himself inside the form of an animal."

This from Genma?  *snort*

His motto is do as I say, not as I do!

       "Of course! She really likes you, y'know. Wanna go see her, or
should I just leave you here?"

"Of course!  She really likes you, y'know...although I can't see why?"  ;)

Heh. I know a lot of Ryoga fans who I'm sure would be willing to explain
it to him... :-)

I can just see Ranma tacking on something like that.  And I have to agree
with the general census, Ranma getting up after the blast is hilarious!

       "Don't say..." Akane rolled her eyes and gave an exasperated
sigh. "Ont-day ay-say ig-pay! Understand? Ont-day ay-say ig-pay!"

Can you even talk pig latin in Japanese?  uta-bay...atever-whay. <G>

Probably not. As long as nobody tries to translate this fic into
Japanese, it probably doesn't matter, though. :-)

Do you get better pork from one of them?"

Oh, you dirty talker.  *blush*

Really. But I *won't* raise any children. Not when I
won't be able to be there for them when they need me.

"I have Oedipus Complex and a history of bed wetting.  And have
I ever told you what I have to do to make money while I'm lost?
Just read LaShawn's Reunion story."  *plug*plug*

Read it... liked it, though I can't for the life of me figure out why
LaShawn thinks Akane and Akari look any more alike than any *other*
female characters in the series.

       No, Ryoga had seen the two of them together more than once.
Akari was real. The question now was what kind of disguise *she* saw
*him*
in, and how she would react when she saw who was really underneath.

Some sort of formatting error?

Will fix.

       "I guess we should be going." Akari took Ryoga by the arm. "I'm
trying to scrape up enough money so that we can honeymoon in Hawaii.
I've got an uncle who's really crazy about the place, and he says he can
get us cheap tickets.

"You like Ryoga's new haircut?   My uncle gave it to him!"

Could be... but this will (probably) stay an unanswered question.

It's nice to see Ryoga meeting up with his parents...sort of.  Was the priestess
supposed to be the lady from Inu-Yasha?  The name seemed really familiar.

She's loosely based off of that character, but isn't quite the same.
(She has two good eyes, for one thing.) She'll be important as the
series progresses.

Hope you had a great time at the Otakon this weekend!

I enjoyed the con, though I wish I could have met with more of the FFML
people who were there.

Thanks for the reply!

Warren
