Now that was just plain evil. :)
I thought it was appropriate. ^_^

He's hoping for free nookie, of course.
Nookie, nookie, nookie...
(Whips out a huge, red Webster's Absolutely Unabridged Dictionary)
Nookie. Hmm, that doesn't explain anything... (Looks up a synonym) Coitus...
Well, not exactly. It's something deeper than that.

The Youma's probablu used a map of the wrong city.
Probably. ^_^

Knew it.
Well, if one wants to get the job done, do it well!

True. Using dead fish is quite ineffectual.
Gotta have the live fish. Simply wouldn't be proper otherwise!

True. ^_^

I included a line like that. I'll see if the prereader(s) like it in
post-production.

Ah, she's learning, then.
Little by little. Ah, the SM villain learning curve. Ain't it great?

Should that be capitalized?
No, it shouldn't. Thanks for catching that. I fixed it.

I know I'd rather join the Dead Moon Circus.
The chapter's not over yet. You may yet see them. ^_^

As long as there are no rabid hamsters, things should be fine.
Ooops. I just put them in, too. ^_^;;;

Called it.
Yup!

Good for them. Didn't think the youmas would be smart enough for that. They
usually forget something important.
They can't be 100% incompetent. What challenge would they be when we blow
them up later? ^_^

Nephrite: Why, that could have been me. Thank god for valet parking.

shouldn't it be they?
Yes! Thanks, fixed it.

Ah ha. Thought they would forget something important.
It's always _something_. ^_^

Works for me.
Excellent. ^_^

You just had to do it, didn't you?
It's a race. It's obligatory. :)

Had to do that at a carnical once, Very messy business, that.
Really? You had to be lashed together with three other people while knitting a
sweater and dying it green?
Wow! ^_^
But yes, three-legged races or six-legged races can be rough business...

Yep.

Hmm. Guess something besides giving Arby a farewell might come about from
that final scene after all. Looking forward to more. Again, looking forward
to finishing these up.
Glad to hear it!
I'm working on it. Little by little, it's getting there. The deadline is
realistically
placed at December 31st.
Sorry I couldn't get in the Sailor Stylin' spinoff, by the way...
