Sukban Senshi Chapter 7 part 2 of 3
Where's part 3?
"I give already. Why don't I take a----" She
started to move from the chair, now _hers'_ by unspoken
agreement, to get a better look. Before she could do more
than tense her muscles Makoto had moved the chair
forward, Rei pushed a footstool under her feet, Ami slid the
game-board onto a table that raised it to a comfortable level
and Minako appeared with a tray of snacks.
"-----look." She swept them all with a darkling
glance. "You know, _some_ people like this sort of
bootlicking, brown-nosing servility." She tapped a finger on
the table top. "And I'm one of them. Keep up the good
work."
Gotta love her!
Soban puffed out her cheeks, then let the air out
with a tired sigh. "I've got an easier way to do this----"
"Yes?" Ami and the others leaned forward
expectantly.
"Everyone hold hands and repeat after me 'Our
Father who art in heaven' . . ."
OUCH!!! Gotta love her.
"Oh yeah? I'd like to see _you_ beat her!" Makoto
thrust her chin out belligerently. "Ami's a genius and you're
nothing but a----"
........
"Yes." Makoto was embarrassed at herself and
irrationally angry at Soban for her embarrassment. "You've
got some nerve putting down Ami's plan when she had to
_read_ it to you."
I've never seen Mako-chan (My otherwise favorite by a long shot)
this .... this .... cruel.... before. I'm not sure I like it. In fact
I don't
like it at all. But if no one showed us things we didn't like, the
world
would be much less interesting or challenging. I can see no flaw in
your characterization here, no matter how much I'd like to. Mako-chan
is good at speaking before thinking.
"This should be fun." Ami started putting her books
and papers away. "Rei's told us all about your place."
Yes it should
"This is a bad idea," Artemis hissed.
yes it is : )
Then he would remember the Kingdom had fallen
when the systems had been new and intact.
ouch. sometimes one should remember that he saw the fall of
his homeland to an invading army. Would any of us fare as well
in his place? Or would we curl up as we watched that same enemy
assaulting our new home? A home with much weaker defenses, and only
five children to defend it. I wonder what must go through his mind
as he watches his charge (Luna's too) dash off to battle. There's a
shortfic
idea there if anyone's paying attention.
"It _does_ look like a crescent moon." Minako
whispered to herself. Shivering at a sudden chill she hurried
to catch up with the others.
Class, this is what we call foreshadowing.
Looking
around Minako decided it looked like a scene out of Blade
Runner with a little Clock Work Orange mixed in, only not
as warm and fuzzy.
Now that is a disturbing image.
Soban gave a twisted smile. "You don't think anyone
actually wrote _Soban_ on my birth certificate."
Makoto's mouth opened and closed soundlessly.
"Uhhhh, I never thought about . . .I mean . . .what is your
name . . .uhhhh if you don't mind telling . . ." Makoto
floundered helplessly.
"I don't mind telling. I just don't know."
interesting. So what does Soban mean?
and while I'm asking for translations, I've been wondering what
Sukeban meant.
"He reminds me of my senpai ...
I was wondering when that would come in... : )
whom I loved and who spurned me"
That style of speech it a bit too refined for her.
"But she's changing it . . ." Ami's puzzlement
changed to horror as she realized Soban was repeating
words she'd heard many times before.
that thought actually hurts. that one with such a good heart should
have to hear those things. repeatedly. You write well to make little
dark dots on a screen cease to be just that.
"SIMPLE," She finished softly. "It would have been
a blessing if she had died."
Itai !!!
"Errrrr, I hope you don't mind," Soban interrupted,
"but I removed the Ceramic Field your agents placed
around this room. It interfered with the acoustics." She
added apologetically.
LOL Still gotta love her
"I'd
kinda like to blow a hole in Mr. Congeniality and see if his
insides look like gummy bear bits." She looked over at
Kome. "Whaddya think?"
LOL gotta love her
"Nah . . .I _wish_ to kick his skinny white butt up
around his tonsils. This is just what I'll settle for."
LOL [you know what goes here] ; )
