Her eating of the food seemed to relax them, and their
voices gradually rose above whispers. Ifurita listened and tried
to figure out the basic structure, but it didn't seem to have
one; words seemed to be placed almost randomly, sometimes
repeated four or five times in a row.
Of course, the big joke is it really is gibberish and they're just doing
it
to yank Ifurita's chain.
Actually, Ifurita never went into the Eye of God at all. El-Hazard is just
the dream of a super-intelligent space hamster.
Snowball?
What little understanding she had came from Makoto's memories,
and whatever as-of-yet untested abilities she'd acquired through
the Eye of God.
Perhaps she's acquired the ability to Riverdance?
And sing a meaningful folksong every chapter? ^_^
No, that's Hallstrom's bit. ^_^
This: Nahato, arms unbound, floating in the ocean, as
bereft of animation as any shipwreck fragment. The waves rolled
him back and forth, back and forth, a cradle for a lost child.
Blank and depthless, his eyes stared up at the onrushing night
and stars as though with mute horror at their vastness.
"Do?" He licked his dry lips.
"We can use him as bait." Jinnai said. "Put him on the end of a hook and
see what we can catch."
Deva agreed. "As long as whatever we catch isn't contagious."
Diva: <stops fishing> I've got it!
Jinnai: Try penecillin
"I know not how. You are the messenger from
God; the inexplicable is your dominion, not mine."
And Katsuhiko said, "But if I explained it to you, then it wouldn't be
inexplicable and it would become your domain. You're trying to steal my
power from me too, damn you!"
"NOW YOU ALL HAVE TO DIE, LIKE MR. FLOPSY SAYS!"
<cue insane psycho loony giggle>
"Look at him, Katsuhiko," Nanami said, kneeling down beside
him. He saw the motion to touch him with her hand rise and die
in a second--Lethiaphan stood too near, faceless sentinel.
That 'faceless sentinel' at the end is missing something. Can't put my
finger on it, but it's awkward and doesn't feel write. Darned if I can
tell
you why though
Will see what I can do to fix it, then.
Try, _A_ faceless sentinal.
Personally, I suspect that Jinnai probably _could_ usurp Deva if he
wanted... the Bugrom are fanatically devoted to him, as demonstrated by
their actions in OVA1 of building a giant statue of him without consulting
Deva.
Well, he could if he did it while she was a safe distance away.
Jinnai: Move over Diva, I'm taking over!
Diva: <coolly> Oh really? <breaks his neck> Bother. Now I have to find
another general...
Jinnai blinked. "Oh. Okay. Now that that's settled, wanna screw?"
"Sure," Deva replied.
<blinkblink>
"Shayla?" Somehow, being a member of a pacifist sect, even
a former one, didn't fit with any mental image Makoto had of
Shayla.
Well, that could be why she isn't one anymore.
Or there could be other reasons.
^_^ Don't hint _too_ hard Alan...
Deva's eyes narrowed. "You're right. You have very good
eyesight, for a human."
Or for someone who has evolving superhuman abilities at least.
That is a secret.
You forgot the ^_^.
I was hoping people wouldn't. It was only very vaguely hinted at.
You were hinting at it?
Be well.
