Quote:God, you really are babbling! ^^
That put a melody into my head. "Cruella de Ville - Cruella de Ville - If she doesn't scare you, no evil thing will," I sang in English, then switched back to Japanese. "Right, great, so now how the hell are we supposed to get ahold of Midori or the others we're missing, let alone talk to the Director... and after that there's fucking' Nagi, and Lord Glass-Ass after him? Christ."
"I wasn't aware that you spoke English," she said, then went on. "Regardless, you needn't worry. Sugiura-sensei is the only HiME remaining uncontacted... save, of course, for Alyssa Searrs. Although the change in Mai-san's status makes it unlikely that she will be able to initiate that contact as planned, Akane-san has been employed at that restaraunt for some time. If the difference in public events changes Sugiura-sensei's plans, we can likely contact her through Sagisawa-sensei - although that will likely require revealing certain information.
Hmmm...can anyone afford to trust Sagisawa? He is First District after all?
Well, with JSDF forces in place..an overt invasion would be out of the question for SEARRS..unless they subvert the chain of commmand in the JSDF.
As for the alphabet soup...what would their reaction be if they learn that there's an evil other dimensional entity who has plans to obliterate the human race? and what can they do about it?...zilch...other send a team in to observe and pray.
Quote:The info didn't happen to include her seduction by a certain teacher would it?
Sister Yukariko was quite distraught at the version of events presented in your account, and has gone into seclusion to pray for guidance." I couldn't quite suppress my reaction to the thought of such an action, and she raised an eyebrow. "You dissaprove of Christianity?"
"I dissaprove of religion, period, though I'll grant that Christianity annoys me more than most. You might call me a militant agnostic - I know I don't know, and anyone who says they do is either lying or deluded." I shook my head. "Blech. I'm ranting. Sorry."
Quote:Good move! Praise her to the skies! Anything to be out of reach of her nagitana!
She nodded, and I laughed. "Maybe you should be in charge - you've done a better job than I could've with all this."
That made her head snap up, and her expression was noticably shocked. After a moment, she found her voice, and protested, "I hardly think I would be the best choice."
"Beauty, brains, and modest to boot! Natsuki's a lucky girl..." However mocking the words might look now, or have sounded at the time, I was quite serious.
Quote:Heck..you were the one that came up with the plan. Now take your responsibility like a man.
"You are quite correct about the need for a trustworthy central authority, however, and at the moment I believe that only you or Sugiura-sensei present viable alternatives."
Midori made sense - as both the oldest, likely the most clear-sighted and arguably the most mature, she was the logical candidate, but... "ME?! I'm not even a HiME!"
"Exactly."
Actually, they need someone who they can trust, is mature and is not a threat to them.
Why do I keep seeing N-Tate as Ichigo Ohgami?
a good scene though....I assumr Mikoto is still snoozing away?
"Huh?"
