Gentle readers,
I have just awoken screaming from a nightmare which I can barely remember.
In order to exorcise the daemons involved, I fear I must put them to paper.
Please bear with me.

============================================================
In all the hells in all the universes in all the realities that have ever been or ever
will be, there is a place that is so horrifying, so terrifying that its mere mention is
enough to send the most jaded denizen of the 9th circle to his hole, screaming in
terror.
There, in that place, there sits a lord, a prince among men, a man whom
many thought to be the greatest of his generation. Once he led them and
their children. Banished from his realm, now he rules here.
At his side sits his queen, a dethroned godess, destroyed by much the same
being that sent her king to this place. Once, she had been unstoppable. Now,
she rules only here. And yet here, her rule is absolute.
This place, once a location where many would bring thir loved ones to enjoy
peace, is now only a hellish conglomerate of the nightmares these two entities
have brought with them in their exile.
"Eh, let's see that pretty stuff, girl!" cries the lord, laughing maniacally.
A scream of terror rings out, then silence reigns. Holding aloft his prize, the
lord shakes with laughter. In one hand, the twin-bladed cutting device that
is his weapon of choice. In the other, a handfull of . . . hair.
"You look so nice now, wahine!" cries the lord, still laughing. At his feet,
a young woman weeps in shame.
"Ooh, Claudette! CLAUDETTE!" a terrifying voice rings out, sending the
people scurrying. Grabbing the handful of hair in the lord's hand, the queen
clutches the prize to her chest. "My darling Claudette!" Her insane giggles
fill the court with more terror than a thousand flaming dreadlords.
Yes, this hell is unlike any other, which is the only blessing this place
may bestow upon reality. For here, in this formerly happy place, there is
only pain, and tears, and gnashing of teeth.
Here, in the Kawaiian Islands.
==========================================================
Oh.
Oh my.
All that for a very bad pun.
Still and all, I did wake up screaming from a nightmare about Asuza and
Kouchou Kunou working together, so I didn't lie. I really did need to get
that off my chest.
Thanks!
Mata ne!
Gendou
