Is it just me, or does almost every exchange of C&C between us devolve at
some point to a DDR joke?

^_^

The entire sky.  (THe sky of the Dark Kingdom is a uniform, 
glowing red
in this fic.)

        I had forgotten. Sorry. ^_^;;

No worries.

A second later, the room was flooded with feedback, as each of the 

communicators fed the signal into one another in a continous loop.

Heh.

        Haruka: That was to foil anyone who might be listening in, 
right, Ami?

        Ami: *giggling* Oh, yes, completely.

*chortle*  When/if I write to Omake collection for this, that is so going
in...

       The future of the present, and then the future's future.

Or something.  Time travel is bad for the English language.

        It's bad for logical tenses in almost any language.

Actually, the language of the ancient Incan monkey god who whispers plot
ideas into my ear when I haven't had enough sleep has a simple, elegant,
and consistent system for handling time travel.

It doesn't translate very well though.

       I wonder where the Dragons came from.

Good question.  

The Dragons are basically sentient incarnations of their 
respective
elements, that have been around in various forms since long before 
even
Silver Millenium's recorded history.

        And the Golden Millenium?

Nobody knows.  There were all kinds of wonky things going on with the
timestream when the Golden Millenium fell (part of why the Champions are
so paranoid about Pluto), and most of the Golden Millenium's records were
wiped out (along with most of what they described).

Until Metallia is completely free though, its still anyone's game. 


        *snicker*

        Yeah. I can imagine how great that'll be.

        Scalea: I win! It's all mine! Hah! Hahaha! HAHAHA!

        Metallia: *wakes up* You mean mine, right?

        Scalea: *sulking* Of course I did.

Hee.  Pretty much.  ^_^

        ... of course, all of the research boiled down to a passing 
reference to 
Sanglamore and Flamberge in a single paragraph in PoE, but hey, 
sometimes curiosity is its own reward. :p

Heh.  Well, if it helps any, I thought it was a really cool paragraph...
^_^

And _this_ Uranus has leant some important lessons from the whole 
fiasco
with Pharoah 90

        Always a good thing. Let's see if she lives long enough to 
make use of it.

/me whistles.

Ishamanar's a fairly smart cookie.  He knows the survival rate of 
youma
that get into direct conflicts with the Senshi.

        I imagine most 'smart' youma don't go to Earth at all, if 
they can help it.

Yep.  That's what the barely sentient minions are for... ^_^

This chapter seems to have that effect... which is a bit 
surprising to
me.    

        Feh. You write better than you think.

        Once again, I return to you the trophy of the Tin Shinji!

Yay!  *waves the Tin Shinji around, accidentally knocking over a stack of
dusty textbooks (exams?  what exams?)* Oops.

       I AM surprised that Hotaru didn't surender herself. 

You should be.  There is a reason, though.

        I felt there was, which is why I just mentioned that I was 
surprised.

The clues are there.  By Chapter 15, it should be (somewhat) obvious.

That, there isn't so much of a reason for.  You caught a fairly 
major
goof on my part there...

        Ooh. I thought... erm.

        Right. Okay. :p

What did you think?  Out of simple curiosity, of course.  Certainly not
any desire to retcon the mistake into something deep and meaningful... ;)

But even if I do use that, I'm going to need to _say_ it...

        Ah! Elipses police!

Argh!  Foiled again!  Curse you, Brian Randall!  Curse you!  ^_^
