I like the Dust of Ibn Ghazi....
it's fun at parties and great for when invisible stalkers want ot play
pranks....you could probably use this....or Halolds Purple crayon.
I think that intent is more powerful than the symbol aactually.
Kaji didn't do anything but lie there. Dexter
knelt to inspect him. "He's pretty dead," Dexter said.
[Only pretty dead? ^_^]
This was something that was stated and re-stated....this led me to
actually dis-believe it. I didn't really believe it until he was observed
on the slab....
but even then after all the
"He's dead."
"Dead?"
"Yes, I have seen him. Dead."
"So I guess that means he's... well you know...."
"Dead?"
"Yes.that's it."
(alright I do exagerate.)
Anyway after all of this I got the strange feeling we would see him
again. I wouldn't be surprised anyway.
Re-animator anyone?
[Well, this kicked ass, as usual. The buildup to the full effects of
absorbing the Violator's powers was handled exceptionally well, so much that
at first I could almost believe the story was going to turn into a WAFFy
lemon. Kaji's death was... interesting. As in the canon, I imagine it will
affect the characters more over time than it does at first.
see the above for my views when reading this....
I was watching "something wicked this way comes" at 3 in the morning last
night while reading this chapter... gave me the creeps.
One little thing: I'd like to know where you got the sexual aspect of
Y'golonac from, since in the original Campbell story, there was no obvious
sexual subtext at all. If you're aware of another source on Y'golonac, what
source is that?]
Oddly enough I was reminded (in the *tender* Yui scenes) of the Angelic
Impact Doujinshi series.....good gravy...now there's another bit of
agnst...I mean yes there is sexuallity but there is more aching
lonely empty distress.
