Only way to see if it is Kohaku is to see if her arm pits are shaved.
I’ve an idea for my next post which I’ll start next week or so. But I’ve need some ideas as back ups mind giving me some.
Well, let’s see. Rex and Etsuji are in the dojo, practicing and discussing the current state of affairs (ie: the attack on the Haname party). Etsuji, you know, is known as LST (Large Stationay Target), because he’s big and slow and hard to miss, but nearly impossible to hurt. Rex is trying hard to knock him off his feet, but to no avail. They could also be discussing a little about Iris and how Etsuji came to be her retainer. Rex may also be interested in Iris for personal reasons (the dog!). Then Yoshimi enters and confronts them both. She’s angry at them, because she thinks they’re not taking her seriously enough. Then she shows Rex how to knock Etsuji down.
Or-Yoshimi, Narumi and Takuya are out shopping and stop in the Antique Bakery for a snack. Narumi has reluctantly agreed to go out with Yoshimi, because she’s still a little afraid that where ever Yoshimi goes, violence follows. But Yoshimi just wants to talk about how her efforts to rekindle her relationship with Rex don’t seem to be going anywhere. At another table, we see Eri (and possibly Yuki) talking to Carl, the gay waiter who likes her as a cat. Then some men come in and start harrassing Eri. Over the last few months a Nazi-like, anti-cat organization has grown up in Moriyoh dedicated to persecuting cat people (the right-wing politician and local yak, Saitama is behind it). Yoshimi notices them hassling Eri and decides to do something about it. She’s not afraid for Eri, because she knows Eri can take care of herself, but as a duly appointed law officer, it’s Yoshimi’s job to keep the peace. Narumi’s worst fears are subsequently realised.
These are stories I’d like to tell, myself, but I’m going to be tied up with Kokoro for awhile.
Will post sometime this week. Let there be sex! (Well it’ll probably be bad maybe)
I’ve and idea! Going to put his nose in something he really doesn’t need to and what will happen hell if I know.
Well, Brant and Eri certainly are a couple of firecrackers, I must say. I hope she’s on the pill or something, otherwise there could be a lot of little cat girls in their future.
Blue Lounge, blue martinis? Makes sense, I guess. You know, I read somewhere that the drink, blue martini , was invented by the legendary German film maker Fritz Lang. According to the story, it was just an ordinary martini spiked with blue food coloring, but he touted it as an aphrodisiac. However, I haven’t been able to find this story repeated anywhere on the Web, so I can’t say anything about its veracity, and, besides, there is a recipe for blue martini thats made from blue Curacao liqueur. By the way, are the martinis served at the Blue Lounge made from vodka or gin? Some say that only vodka makes a true martini, while others argue just as vociferously for gin. Personally, I don’t know anything about this, myself, not being much of a drinking man. I only had a martini once in my life, and it tasted pretty nasty.
Working hard, as always, on a new story that may be posted this weekend. Lots more trouble for Heart, I’m afraid.
Made to order me I prefer long islands not the cheap long island.
She is the meaning of Troubled Heart. I just had to.
As for blue martinis well their is a place called blue martini don’t know if it still there. As for that other stuff about it I didn’t know.
Sorry for the long abscence again… slowly getting caught up here and hope to post a new segment soon. Can’t promise anything given what’s going on at the moment.
I wonder if anyone here remembers Cordwainer Smith or his story “The Ballad of Lost C’Mell?” They were both famous long ago. I read the story when it was first published in Galaxy Magazine back in 1962. Except for the title, I don’t remember much about it, except that C’Mell (a cat-human hybred) was probably the first cat girl, so I though it only fitting to put her in the Chateau. My CeMell is nothing at all like the original, however. She’s as original a creation as I’m possible of. The was some question in my mind how to pronounce C’Mell. Is is like “smell” or a hard ‘c’, or ‘K’ sound. Probably the latter, because the ‘c’ in her name means ‘cat.’ However, I chose to go with a soft ‘c’ sound for CeMell.
It’s just incredible how Heart always makes the wrong choices, isn’t it?
Heathcliff? Wow old cat.
Heart wrong choice nah.
I can’t hear the soft c I hear ‘Ka’ mell.
You know, looking back over my last story, I’m not really happy with the ending. It wasn’t necessary to have the scene where Kokoro is trying to seduce Sugimoto go on for as long as it did. We already know what she’s up to from the inner dialogue she has with herself previously. I think the final scene would have had more impact if I’d written Sugimoto hearing a knock on her door and opening it up to find Kokoro standing in the hallway with a bottle in her hand [stop]. I think that would have been better. They say you should show the reader what happening, instead of telling them. But i think that sometimes you don’t even want to show them–just leave it up to their imaginations. Not that I’m going to go back and change the ending at this point in time, mind you. But I just had to get that off my chest.
You hear Ka-Mell, instead of See-Mell? Well, not what I intended, but whatever.
Bamboo: I think I’ll use some of what you said if I use the ‘punks’ they’ll have no connect to anyone so don’t make a connect please.
Starting it soon.
So, you’re thinking of working on the fight in the Antique Bakery scenario? Sounds good. I’ll do my best not to make any ‘connect’ as you say out of the punks. Altho I admit it’s an ingrained habit with me from years of reading Marvel comic books and conspiracy theories. I’ve already, if you’ve noticed, starting to make connections between all my characters, no matter how unlikely those connections may be. I have a (very) vague idea that I’m going to end my story some day with some sort of operatic flourish that brings all of the characters on stage at once. Might have a new story posted this week—but it’s been busy at work and I’m putting in a vegetable garden, so I’m a little tied up.
There could be some other forces at work or not.
Grow me some vegetables too and send them to me please.
So bamboo. Kitsune night self is the fox?
Chinpo feeling bad or sad eh I’d enjoy the moment and not think. Poor bastard getting beat all the time.
/Note Nearly done with my post.
Is Kitsune’s night self the fox? We’ll see, but I don’t think the answer is going to be as straightforward as that.
The Wife also commented about how Chinpo gets beat up all the time, while seeming to casually shrug it all off, and I attributed this to his having an older sister.
Those with a long memory may remember the Twins, Eki and Miki, who have been out of the story for nearly a year now. The reason for that is that they only speak Japanese. Well, of course, all the characters speak Japanese, but we hear them speaking English. But with the Twins I thought it would be amusing for them to only speak Japanese and had the other characters replying to them in English (ever see Godzilla Final Wars, where all the main characters are speaking in Japanese, except for that one white guy who speaks English? The Japanese characters all understand what he’s saying and he understands them when they speak Japanese. If only it were that easy).
Anyway, the reason I haven’t used the Twins that much is because my Japanese (never very good) is pretty rusty. I haven’t studied in years. So that limits their dialogue to very simple sentences. Very ungrammatical simple sentences, I’m afraid.
Aw Shimi doesn't believe Brant :shock: not surprising. Maybe Icy Iris should hire her briefly and see how Shimi will act find out nearly everything that is going on.
Mitsuki fired. Gee wonder how that went.
/Note I need to think of a name for my Cafe/Bakery cause it sure is not yours.
Yoshimi working for Iris? Doing what? All she knows is police work and monster slaying. Does Iris have a problem with tentacle monsters in her kitchen?
Actually, Yoshimi is on what’s known as administrative leave pending a review of her case, which means she’s still drawing her pay check. It might even be illegal for her, as a public employee, to get another job. I don’t think that Rex means to ruin her career, just get her out of his fur until he’s finished off the Beast.
But why isn’t anyone worried about poor Yuki? Big trouble’s coming her way.
Originally, it had not been my intention to get Takuya a job, but, instead, have Yoshimi dress up in her sexy police woman’s outfit and play Cops and Robbers SM games with her, but the Wife nixed the idea, reading me the riot act over the problems of transgendered people in society. I might have gone ahead with it, anyway, but on consideration, I decided to do it her way, because she’s the best editor a writer could have.
However, I see trouble ahead if I go through with what I want to do to Kokoro.
I wasn’t serious about that sides Shimi doesn’t toe the line, Iris may or may not toe it and go over it.
Maybe no one likes her or they think she wont be to stupid/crazy/dumb not get herself in trouble?
Bamboo: Thank you! I’ve more ideas now. Now I wonder if they are dvds/blurays that act like that.
A word about the Frussians.
A few days ago, I was reading a review of a book set in WWII, in which–at one point in the story–the heroine escapes from Occupied France with a guy described in the book as a Franco-Russian officer. Of course, what was meant was an officer in the Free French Army who is part French and part Russian. But I got to thinking: why not a Franco-Russian Army? As I remember it, during the Cold War, the French were notoriously friendly with the Soviets, and the cafes there are probably still full of intellectuals who persist in thinking that Communism was a good idea (for the record, I don’t think that Capitalism is such a great idea, either. I’ve had to work in the private sector.) So, as a result, I cast the mysterious Singer (but I bet you know who she is) as an agent of the Frussians, or Fruskies, if you will. Other than that, however, I have nothing more to say about the political make-up of Project Sakura World.
Glad I gave you some ideas. Hope to see what you do with them.
I see that yesterday–the 29th–marked the one year anniversary of Project Sakura, and I, for one, would like to express my gratitude to Dark Shiki for starting it. I don’t think it turned out the way he envisioned it, but I’m having a good old time, and, if nto for him, I probably would never have met any of these characters I’m playing around with. Who knew they were knocking around inside my head? At the inaguration of Sakura, I quipped that this would be a great opportunity for a lot of bad fan fiction; I didn’t realise at the time that most of it would be mine. But that’s not my fault. Really. It’s not.
