I know it's weird to reply to a reply to a reply, but I have a hard time
getting around to doing any direct C&C (don't ask why) so I'll just do it this
way.

"Cute Magical Girl Forbidden Attack - Saccharine Sweet Pink Sugar

#AAAAAAHHHHH! MY EYES! MY BRAIN! MAKE IT GO AWAY! MAKE IT GO AWAY!
Need... insulin... NOW!
Bwahahaha! And that was only the beginning! Witness the full extent of
my evil, when Magical Girl Pretty Skuld uses her apocaliptic ultimate
attack... and gets a new transformation sequence and theme song while
she's at it.
<BLAM!> You decide who it was aimed at. :)
"You can talk to me, baka!" Keiichi blurted out in frustration,
before
realizing what he'd said.
#Okay, someone has to say it. GRATUITOUS JAPANESE! AAAHHH!
Seriously, the rest of the sentence is in English, why do you need to
throw a 'baka' in?
Ok. Originally, the whole thing was in English, but one of my
pre-readers suggested to me to use 'baka'. Just think about it. Skuld
might know Japanese, but since goddesses are not really supposed to
swear, she won't know certain of the more... colorful... aspects of the
language. And who else but Keiichi would teach her? :)
That makes sense to me, and it adds a little flavor as far as `I'm'
concerned.
later, hitting him over the head, while adding silently, "Whatever
'baka' is."
#Thank you, Skuld, for making that point. And in a most... energetic
way, too.
Well, I hate to ask, but isn't it a bit funnier with Skuld not even
aware of what 'baka' is? Of course, with my luck, it probably sucks
either way...
I have to reiterate what I said earlier, I like it, it works well enough for
me.
There was a long silence, before Skuld said quietly, "We'll make
sure he
stays dead this time."
#And take a crap-shoot on which god would die with him? Ouch, harsh.
Very harsh. Just wait till you find out _who_ is that, umm, divine
person.
You know, I have been wondering about that. As it is, that sounds quite
ominous.
A smile crept onto the goddess' face, as she remembered the good
times
she once had with her best friend, playing with Banpei-kun...
#At this point I could make a joke about 'playing with Banpei-kun'
and being alone. But I won't. You've all already made them in you
twisted little minds.
Actually the thought never occurred to me.
Good thing I didn't write how Ranma loved to play with Banpei during the
'good old days', eh?
Uh... I don't wanna to know...
Banpei-kun! That was it! She'd build the robot again, and this time
it'd
be bigger, better and much cooler!
#It's getting harder not to make a joke. Especially after the
'bigger' comment.
You're just sick and twisted Slacker... I LIKE it! Hehehe
"..."
He's a robot, and an ugly one to boot. Eww.
Happily patting her stomach, the Norn of the Future slowly made her
way
back to her room, almost skipping like a schoolgirl on a way to her
first date. Keiichi had the most wonderful collection of ice-cream
in
his refrigerator... Skuld sighed contentedly at the memory. Maybe
he
wasn't so bad. How could he be, with such great taste?
#How does she know how he tastes? NO! I GAVE INTO TEMPTATION! (Please
excuse me. I need to slam my head against the wall repeatedly now.
Thnak you.)
Ack!
The subtext! Oh my god(dess), the subtext!
Heh.
I don't know if I ever replied to this originally, but I agree with Slacker
that this is a WONDERFUL fic. I would have to seriously consider some major
mayhem if you didn't continue it.
Take care, take your time, and hurry up! <G>
