Oh yeah. This reminds me...
I like your Namura. No, scratch that. I HATE your Namura. >>Accurately, I like how hateable you've made Namura. In MB, he was >>portrayed as some kind of tragic figure when he seemed to me to be >>more akin to pond scum.

WH: I was thinking something more closer to toxic waste.

WH: (In scientists' uniform)Place carefully in air tight container, bury DEEP within the earth and wait until there's nothing left.

You've at least made him the proper villain, and used the >>Meiko+Miwa=Destiny idea that I've always hewn to.

W: (with hand raised) I second this.

I wanted to cry when I realized that Meiko was going to end up with >that bastard.

WH: (points to self) Me? (Hefts up favorite magnum and loads it) Need I say more?

<Rant>
I mean, damnit, the teacher-student relationships are a bad idea and
ALWAYS the fault of the teacher in any case, but the facts of >>Meiko's home situation makes Namura perhaps the only truly >>reprehensible character in Maramalde Boy.

WH: (frowns) Well...

Even Rokutanda was more pathetic and comical,

WH: True! (laughs)

and the Piano guy just an irritating jerk.

WH: His name is Kei and I agree that he's an irritating jerk.

I'm just waiting for Zwei-lite to detonate from his reflected >>attack. Ryoko will be sad, but the bastard deserves it.

WH: (turns) All in favor?

WH clones 1-9: (Raises hands) I!

</Rant>

I cheered when Miwa punched him out :)

WH: Hey, who wasn't?

"<I would like,>" Ginta read out loud in English from the exercise >>>book.
"<I would like,>" Yuu, Miki, and Meiko repeated.  Meiko
said it calmly and fluently, while Miki and Yuu stumbled over
the 'l' sounds.

        "<To feed your fingertips,>"  Ginta continued.

        "<To feed your fingertips,>" Yuu and Miki said,
stumbling along on this part as well.

        "<To feed yo...,>"  Meiko paused and stared at Ginta.
"Are you sure you read that right?"

        The doorbell rang, and Rumi went to go get it.

        "<To the wolverines,>"  Ginta concluded, then said to
Meiko, "Did I pronounce it wrong?"

        "<To the wolverines,>" Miki and Yuu finished.

"My..hovercraft..is full..of eels."

Heheheh :)

WH: If you ever go to japan, most japanese can say basic things like 'haro', 'bai-bai' and 'deisu eisu a pen'. Tons of fun!

Ginta nodded.  "Miki will probably have to go up against
Kaiou Michiru, their best player.  She's one of those geniuses
who does everything well.  Perfect grades, plays violin
professionally while still in high school, paints...does just
about everything."

This reminds me, as well.

We've got Saturn, but who are you planning on for Neptune and >>Uranus?
You could always use the original two, as the demonstrably exist >>here, and you're running out of MBStandard females (You've already >>had to swipe one from EH). Mrss. Koishikawa and Matsura? Jinny and >>Wossname?

WH: For pair 1? I hope/think/say/vote/pray/beg/plead NOT! Jinny? oh come on! That'd depreciate the series. Wossname?

Wossname...thinking of the girl Rokutanda eventually hooked up with?

Ah! Her name is Yayoi.

Oh, and if Jinny shows up, it will probably be as a Youma, as I hate >her the most of any MB character.

WH: Well... she comes to a VERY, VERY, VERY close second to that runt Michel Grant.

It's even harder if you want to retain the original relationship.

Ahh.  If you really, really want to know, I can tell you by private >email. It will be revealed, and there's been a few clues, but it'll >be a while before this comes out.

Although I admit the idea of Miki and Yuu's Moms as Uranus and >Neptune has a certain appeal...:)

[WH points up to the same plea as before.]

  "Today's photo of Sana-chan:," she said, then struck a
pose that Miki knew well.  "Tennis Warrior Moon!"

This is what happened in reality. In manga, at least.

Cool.

WH: Really? [Runs off to check up on his KnO manga]...oh wait! It happened in the anime with Babbit doing the narration, no?

You are wise in the ways of science :)

[Sits in the corner and sighs as the teacher lectures him about studying harder.]

Good mapping, by the way. Orion was known for his pride, Hermes is >>the trickster/knowledge god, and Vulcan is lame but attached to the >>most beautiful of the goddesses. It also gives an indication that >>Namura is simply corrupt and not truly evil, while still implying >>that him and

All of the Generals have been corrupted by playing on the flaws they
already possessed.

Meiko is the pairing of EVIL. That I can live with. It will even >>make Ryoko happy, which is good, although it implies that Namura >>survives, which is BAD.

WH: (to his Paranoid scientists) Can we get a scientific read out on that?

[His paranoid scientists work at breakneck speeds, punching in numbers, stats, names, and what not. A single sheet of paper comes out of one printer, the cheif scientist reads it, turns to the others, nods, and hands it to WH.]

WH: (Reads the paper) Yep. Namura is 'BAD'. So much in fact that extermination may be neccesary.

We shall see :)

Who?

WH: *sigh* I never saw the anime, but thanks to Andrew Dynon, I found out that he's making a reference to a character by the name of Ruri from a series called Nandesico.

"Well, if she wants to come over and study, I might say
yes if you clear it first," Taiki said.  "Because I wouldn't wish
several months with her parents on anyone."

The tree isn't far from where the apple fell, hmmm?

Yep.

WH: (blinks) I think I sorta get it...I think it means that though the present condition is bad, it's not so bad that it's worth getting worked up over.

>
> This Makes Me Happy.

WH and his clones: Us too!

Good!

Keep at it. And SMR. And SMZ. And Chasing. Write, curse you, >WRITE!

I'm working on it.  Chasing the Sun and the Moon has hit a big >writer's block, and SMZ, I'm stuck waiting for Jeff to finish 18.  >This and Children of Fire have no such barriers, however :)

WH: (quickly) MakesuretoreadtheupcomingProloguetoShara'sLastGift,comingassoonasIcangetthatsuckerdone!

*Whew*
