((Sorry. Reply delayed by Frozen. It was...well, it was a step up from if it was composed entirely of cliches. It was certainly aware it
should be avoiding cliches, but it only avoided like one or two. And one of the "subverted" cliches of the rapid romance was promptly double subverted, showing the message that you have to know a person for at least 2-3 days before deciding s/he is your True Love. And the ending has some major economic and political consequences, beyond the whole "The Queen froze everything and killed our crops" thing. And there was an accidental (I hope) incestuous undertone. And the snowman was annoying. And there's no way either of the characters dunked into water in the winter would have survived. And the music-work was questionable, as well.
I could post a copy of the lengthy review I put on Facebook in the OOC thread on the off chance anyone cares.))
>...err, I'm sorry. Busy right now, having a moment here.<
[To: Richard]
<I know it's none of my business, and there's a fair chance I'm seeing a mountain where there's a molehill, but...it seems like things aren't going great between you and your assorted love interests. You haven't been having much time to spend with them, and you don't seem to have been trying to change that from what I've seen. Anything I can do to try and help? Offer advice? Listen to your problems? Shut up and leave you alone?>
"As to your first part, it may be an undeclared war but you ARE waging a war on the "big" people, because the enter your land and you kill them, you do not even restrict your fighting to combatants, you are actually in violation of the Geneva convention, as such you are committing war crimes, whether or not you want to believe it."
"I hadn't thought of that. Good point, Stella."
Kyle wakes up. Hopefully without someone in his bed... wait Nuriel propositioned him yesterday so... Yeah.
<Rise and shine.>
"Ohhh, a gift? Aweso- I mean about time. The hospitality in this place, sheesh."
"Ingrate. Some of us are glad Arya is providing us room and board. You're turning her backyard into a one-woman kingdom, quite possibly with more of your people to come, and you've admitted to killing almost forty people. Just once, can you say something that doesn't make me want to call the police on that last one?"
"Nonsense, I don't make *messes*. I am probably the cleanest person in this house."
"Well, let's look in the window of your little house and check...Not seeing it."
"Sheer..volume of the mess makes me automaticaly cleaner."
"Well, using that same logic, you are hundreds of times stupider than anyone, due to your small amount of brain containing what information it contains."
Hainuwele hands Meme one of the spiders gifted by HK-47.
"Here, those are much better than liquorice anyway.*shudders*....ugh...liquorice.."
((off for the night, enjoy your spider))
Meme looks at it for a second... then realizes what it is!
"BAD!" Meme throws the spider into the castle in a annoyance.
Will tries to resist laughing.
He fails.
"...So your another magic girl? Man this house is getting crowded."
"As much as I imagine no one expected it, I agree with Kyle's idea of a castle somewhere in Europe. Especially if we made some kind of portal to connect the two. Oh! That reminds me. Selina, could you pull these out?" Will removes the slightly crumled copy of the plans of the parts for his server thing.
"A Magical Girl!? OMG, thats like, super desu Kawaii!~"
Bethany jumps around happily before digging into some Mickie d's.
<...I can feel my dignity drop ten percent just by associating with her.>
HK-47 points out he's cleaned the house already. Twice.
"Thank you for that, by the way. Although it makes it harder for me to find ways to help Arya, since she still won't accept stock advice."
"Ah, The butcher of Romans and Wyrms."
More growling over the mindlink.
<...We should look into that.>
"Ashley, can I see the newspaper?" If offered, he begins skimming the back sections.
Sen gets the oddest of feelings that kyle is being a lecher, <Kyle are you hitting on some poor girl right now?>
<No, he's been hitting on her since she got here. And possibly before.>
"They've been dating forever. I wouldn't want to get between that... It'd just cause drama. And Richard expressed is disinterest in harems... So for the sake of not ruining things, I'm going to stay out of his life, in any romantic way, despite my desire to date him."
Ester looks momentarily unsure, "Um... In that case you can't really do much but move on with your life. Maybe in the future Richard might change his mind, but you can't waste away waiting for that to happen. You've gotta go back out into the world and live your life!"
"The All-Knower--no, that sounds dumb--well, I can't think of a good title for my advice-giving persona, but I agree with Ester's suggestion."
"Maybe you would do well at robotics... although if I let you do that I'm cleaning you up and getting you a new outfit."
"Ummm...Like, no thanks."
"Yeah, robotics aren't worth it. It's pretty dull until you get to the end result. And sometimes even then." Will grins at HK-47.
Later that day Bethany would be given an exact recreation of Madoka's outfit in her size. Somehow.
"I'm sure you didn't mean it, but goddamn that is creepy. Do I want to know how you got those measurements?"Will tries to ignore his power informing him of Bethany's measurements.
"Those are in your room. I wont ask for payment if I get pictures of you in the outfit."
Bethany's eyes flash gold.
"You do not want to go down that path."
"That is also creepy. But it's explicable."
