Quote:Funny, Natsuki's actions (granted they were being manipulated by the good sister) leading to the break-up of the HIME-sentai could be considered over reactng also.

Who did Natsuki get mad at..Yukino or Shizuru?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shizuru.
Not, it's perhaps worth noting, for anything that might or might not have happened to her, but solely because of the idea of letting her overreaction cost someone else so badly.
Quote:Who said it has to be two-way? Look at her relationship to Haruka. And having Haruka run around like a puppy chasing a flashlight spot is bound to be fun. gives new meaning to the phrase *bodyguard of lies*
Kept in the dark and shoveled full of...
Heh. Haruka. Hahehaheh. *mad laughter*
And no, Yukino-chan doesn't particularly interest me. We wouldn't suit each other, I think.
Quote:All to true..of course there is also the problem of Nagi showing up during the negotiation.
Fumi and her mistress were an entirely different order of business - likely they were friendly, true, but even more likely very little of what we'd be saying would actually be news, and, as I'd said to Midori, there really wasn't any way to tell what they thought on the matter.
It sincerely disturbed me how instantly the HiME had agreed that I should take 'point' on the negotiations, though. People-thigns were not a strong point, and the idea of having that much riding on my shoulders... Okay, sure, great, they trust me - even Nao, which was a shock - and that's flattering as all hell, but I've been pretty careful to make it clear that I've got absolutely no clue what I'm doing, right? Right?
Nao?..trust? *brain fried* This is soo not good.
Quote:I'm surprised that Nao and Natsuki are not having a catfight by now.
The real reason it worked, though, was that the internal political blocs of the HiME-sentai were already emerging - mostly they seemed to be the 'Normal' types, the more 'Driven' ones, and, well, all the rest. Mai, Akane, and Yukino were, by their own testimony, mostly interested in getting through this whole mess with life, sanity, and loved ones intact, and had found themselves assuming much the same positions as the arguments - well, discussions, since there'd been surprisingly little vitriol involved - went on.
Quote:
The more crusading personality types - Midori, Akira, and Natsuki, with Shizuru essentially tagging along behind the latter - had actually stopped only one step short of declaring an outright alliance, which would have been amusing except for the last thing - namely that even they seemed to think of me as being neutral in the whole thing.
*Snort* What are they expecting?....you deciding to take over Obsidian's position as the new evil overlord and declare the HIME's as his own harem? Or merely deciding that Tate-N is just too good to be true?
Quote:Considering how she was seduced...I'm not surprised. I'm also surprised on how good an advisor she's making.
As long as she didn't have any other options, which, of course, was why she wasn't here. Mai and Shiho couldn't come since neither of them could even manifest their elements reliably, let alone summon their Childs, and Yukariko had been the first to remove herself from the running... Ironically, it looked like she had even less faith in her integrity than I did.
Quote:I would had counted Mikoto toward the "normal" camp..if she's under Mai's care. Since her goal is already achieved, find her brother...I think her new goal would had been getting Reito out of Obsidian's clutches next.
Those two groups' existence had essentially left the 'outsiders' to form their own, since they weren't really trusted. Nao was even happy about it, I guess since it meant that the universe had lived down to her expectations, but Shiho had thrown a fit (and thereby, I had no doubt, demonstrated exactly why she was counted where she was), Yukariko had just sort of accepted it as her due, and I'm not sure Mikoto had even noticed.
Quote:Get more!
Nrg. I'm out of medication. This does not make me happy.
