Jason: What? You mean she didn't learn her lesson the first time?!? Ryoku: Apparently not, Jason-kun. Jason: *seriously* You know what this means, don't you? Ryoku: *nods seriously* Yes. Both: ROUND 2!!! ^_^ Tory: Okay! All Inner Senshi get out! Inners: NANI?! Tory: You guys had the first response, now it's the Outers turn. Jason: *grabs Ryoku* Oh no, Ryo-kun. You've gotta stay. Ryoku: Doushite? Others: WHAT DID WE SAY ABOUT TOO MUCH JAPANESE!!! *THWACK* Ryoku: *rubs head* FINE!!! *grumbles under breath* Jason: *smirks* Sounds like someone's been expanding their vocabulary a bit.... Makoto: *glares* Moshi! Ryoku: *irritably* Before I got... thwacked... I was about to ask, why? Jason: Because I said so! And because the real reason is a plot spoiler. Ryoku: Oh. [The Inners, Usagi, Ami, Rei, Minako, Makoto & Moshi leave The Outers, Setsuna, Haruka, Michiru and Hotaru enter with Mamoru and Hoshi following.] Karin: Hey, does this mean we have to leave too? Kristie: mmm... **consideres villains for a moment** hmmm... nah. I'm ready to do this with you three. Maybe next time. Hoshi: [yelling back] Well, you don't have to push! Tory: Uh, Hoshi? Hoshi: Yeah? Tory: You're not a Senshi. Hoshi: I know that, but she pushed me in here! [jerks thumb to outside] Tory: Fine, just have a seat and lets get started. [Everyone sits down mumbling] Dain: Women can be so difficult... Kristie: HEY! Who invited you!? I said next time! GET OUT!!! **shoves Dain out back of theater** Dain: [outside] So-rry! Jeez! Karin: **snicker** Mamoru: [from front] Are you quite finished back there!? All: **chorus** Yes! Ryoku: I'm all set! Jason: *announcer voice* Let's get ready to rumble!!! >Disclaimer:These opinions are the opinions of SailorRiven >(that would be me, Willow), and if you have a problem with >this review, deal with it. Ryoku: Again? Is this some sort of standard disclaimer of hers? I still stay she's asking for it when she says 'deal with it'. *smirks* After all, it's such a vague statement. I doubt she'd like how I'd... *brings out Ginzuishouken and flourishs it* ...deal with it. Hotaru: Ryo-oniichan kowai.... O.O; Mamoru: Gee, that's so helpful! Setsuna: This is highly illogical. Haruka: Can the Dr. Spock act, Setsuna! Ryoku: Dammit, Setsuna-san! You're a Senshi, not a Vulcan! Haruka: Now, don't you start! Setsuna: [glares] The purpose of a review is to assist a writer in making their story better. Not ripping it apart and then telling them to *deal* with it. Tory: [to Michiru] Is she always like this? Michiru: If someone gets her dander up, yes. Hotaru: Be lucky she's not transformed. She'd would've took the theater out already. Hoshi: [sighing] What have I mixed myself up with? Ryoku: *sympathetically* I'd answer that, but would you really want to hear the answer? Erika: Heh. It's amazing the way people start these things out. **mock voice** This is my opinion, but I'm here to force it on you, so up yours. Karin: I feel Virtual and Questionable coming on. Kristie: **groan** Please no. Tory: God, no. Kristie: **sympathetic smile** >No really, feel free to >flame me, Rei: [outside] MUHAHAHAR! Usagi: [outside] REI-CHAN, NO! Tory: Besides, it'll be kinda hard to do with no email address. Setsuna: [whips out laptop] Give me ten minutes. Michiru: [takes laptop away] No, Setsuna. No evil time bombs. Setsuna: Drat. Hoshi: Setsuna-san's scaring me. Hotaru: Again, be happy she's not transformed. Hoshi: o.O;; Kristie: Heh... I might actually take her up on that... someday. >:) Erika: Ho, boy. Karin: I'll get the muzzle... Ryoku: Then, I guess it's up to me. *grabs Jason's laptop* Jason: HEY! Give that back!!! Ryoku: Not now. I'm running a trace. I'll find who sent that flame, then I'll.... Jason: *grabs his laptop back* Not on MY laptop, you won't. Ryoku: *sighs* You're no fun. >but don't think I actually care. Mamoru: But you care enough to do another review? Ne? Michiru: Did she ever email you? Tory: hmm.. Nope! And I usually keep most mail on my Yahoo account. Erika: **laugh** Yeah right! She doesn't care one whit! Karin: Which is why she changed her whole review after Tory smacked her upside the head. Trina: Tory smacked her? K,E,K: **sweatdrop** >These are my >opinions, I'm not trying to force them on anyone, they're >just my opinions. Mamoru: As are these mine. As are these mine. Ryoku: Echo! *fading* Echo! Echo! Echo.... Karin: Everyone got that? Erika: **giggle** >You don't have to have the same opinions, if you do that's >cool, if you don't that's cool too, but don't be flaming me. Michiru: But didn't she say, go ahead, flame me? Setsuna: Yes. [eyebrow twitch] Haruka: But here she says, don't be flaming me! Ryoku: Does this mean we have to flame her indirectly? Jason: No, it just means that we have to come up with a politically correct term for flaming. Maybe 'forceful disagreement'? Kristie: Oh no! You don't HAVE to have the same opinions! But if you don't, you're an idiot! Trina: Didn't she just say to flame her? Karin: **listening to conversation up front** Nice job, Trina. :) Trina: **excited** Really? ^.^ >Actually, scratch that: do flame me if you feel so inclined, >but I won't mind. Tory: I think Michiru-san's having flashbacks to the last review. Michiru: [flushed] Gomen! Erika: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!! Karin: Yeah! Which is why we're here a *second* time! Right, Tory-san? ^.~ Jason: Here, here! >The reason I'm doing this is because >the fic's creator bashed me and this review to hell and >back [All gasping] Ryoku: So we can now honestly say that the last review came straight out of the depths of hell, ne? Seems apropos. Hotaru: No, actually she was only giving you a taste of your own medicine as a lesson. Haruka: Besides, she bashed first! Calling Mo-chan an imposter. Moshi: [outside] @!$$&% @!#$@ @!$% Ryoku: *puts ear to the door* Makoto: [outside] *WHAM* Ryoku: *whips out a notepad and starts to write* Jason: *grabs notepad* You WON'T be needing this. Ryoku: *in a soft growl* @!$$&% @!#$@ @!$%.... Haruka: *WHAM* Ryoku: *THUD* Jason: Thanks, Haruka-san. Haruka: *nods* Anytime. Hoshi: Basically calling the fic 'dumb, but good' Mamoru: And paying attention to the tiny things instead of the basic idea. Tory: You guys are good! Setsuna: You learn stuff by hanging near the theater. Jason: If only more people could learn from their mistakes.... Erika: Oh, but don't think that Willow *cares* if you flame her, or anything! **laugh** Kristie: It's amazing how much people will contradict themselves - all in the same sentence (or paragraph). Karin: **raises eyebrow at Kristie** Oh, and you're innocent of this? Kristie: **blush** shutup. >(unnecessarily, might I add, because I did NOT bash >her fic at all, just nitpicked, Ryoku: *gasp* She admitted to the crime! Jason: *pounding a judge's gavel* I sentence you to 9,184,726,350 lashes with a large, wet noodle! All: NANI?!? Jason: What? Ryoku: And they thought I had problems.... All: Ano... o.O Hoshi: If PSE had hair, it'll be bald by now from all the nitpicking that went on. Tory: Just how it was unnecessary to focus on a fanfiction's gallery when it clearly states that the site is about fiction not art. All: **bust up laughing** Erika: Oh, is *that* what that was!? :..D Karin: Sounded like bashing to me! Trina: I don't remember Tory-san ever saying Willow bashed her... just nitpicked. Kristie: O.o eh? ... I think that's right, actually... now that I think about it. Erika: Gee, Kre-chan, new experience? Kristie: >:P >and I admit I did this more >than I should have). Hoshi: Good save. I guess that means the lightning bolt won't strike. Mamoru: Damn. Ryoku: So, does this mean that hell HAS frozen over? Tory: *WHACK* *WHACK* *WHACK* All three: HEY! Karin: Well, at least she admitted her guilt - even though she did try to water it down. Erika: **nod** >Which I am actually thanking her for >because it made me realize the errors in my reviewing style >and that I focused too much on the little things than I >did on the big picture. Hotaru: Thus was her true goal in the response. Tory: Didn't feel too nice did it? Haruka: I guess not! Setsuna: Now had there been an email address, all of this wouldn't have taken place. Tory: Remind me to take Setsuna-san's key away again. Setsuna: O.O Kristie: And yet she continues to use this "review style," complete with mistakes up the wazoo. Erika: **to Karin** You got the muzzle, right? Karin: **holds it up** Yep. Jason: Oh, boy.... >Site: Project: Sailor Earth > Moshi: [outside] THAT'S MEEEEEE! Hoshi: Quiet you! All: :) >Site's Creator: Tory Brown > [They look at Tory] Tory: What?! Haruka: Just checking... Ryoku: Does this mean that there's hope? I'M SAVED!!!! Jason: *glares at Ryoku* Excuse me a moment.... Ryoku: *warily backs away as Jason stalks toward him* Hey... can't this wait until AFTER the review? Jason: *thinks it over* You live, for now. Ryoku: *sighs in relief* Karin: **watching group up front** **giggle** >Reviewer: Willow, in the form of Sailors Lilith and Solar > Mamoru: The schizophrenic Senshi. Haruka: You or Moshi-chan are the *last* people to call anyone schizophrenic. Mamoru: **sweatdrop** Erika: Eh-HEE!! Sailor Virtual here! Karin: AND Questionable! E,K: And we're here to rip... **clap** YOU UP! Tory: [turns around in seat and points menacingly towards back of room] So help me, if I hear that again....!! Kristie: **with hands clamped over Erika and Karin's mouths** Sorry!! ^^; Ryoku: And if I hear the phrase 'girly man' uttered even once, so help me I'll go medieval on someone! >Lilith: Hi. We're back. > Jason: *a la Poltergiest sequals* They're baaaaaaaack.... Hotaru: And there was much rejoicing. All: [deadpan] Yatta... Karin: ACK! NOOOO!!! Erika: **Monty Python impression** Run away! Run away!! Kristie: -.-; Hoshi: Will you two shut up!? E,K: **chorus** Sorry! Ryoku: *shouting* Bring out your dead! Bring out your dead! >Solar: Apparently our last review was too nitpicky so now >Will is revising it yet again. > Jason: *deadpan* ...too make it slightly less nitpicky. Tory: You mean there was another version before the first one!? Haruka: It probably just called you a bitch and said go to jigoku. Tory: Thanks for making me feel better, Haruka-san. Haruka: Anytime, Tory! Ryoku: It's amazing what some people consider 'constructive critizism'. Jason: Or, ruthless slaughter. Kristie: **busts up laughing** Trina: What was funny about that? Karin: **grinning** I think she's laughing at the group up front. >Lilith: Okay, first impressions. But we can't really do >that since this isn't the first time we've seen the site, >so we'll do...second impressions. If there is such a thing. > Setsuna: There is, but it's hard to change the first. Hotaru: Setsuna-mama, that had too much hidden meaning. Setsuna: I'm supposed to be the cryptic one. Let me enjoy it. Hoshi: Oh boy, she's been near the espresso machine, hasn't she? Haruka: Yep. Erika: But let's ramble a bit more before we finally get to the point. Karin: No kidding. That intro was a snore-and-a-half. Trina: Yeah, that was pretty stupid. Kristie: Wasn't there a deodorant commercial a while back-- Erika: **interrupting** NO!! Kristie: O.o; Jason: And on that note, we continue.... >Solar: And if not, there should be. Ryoku: For reasons unknown to mankind. >Okay then, second >impressions. Ehm...the text runs into the border background. >Use pixels and not percentages in the table widths. > Tory: WHAT?! Hotaru: [fires up Setsuna's laptop] Uh, no it's not. Michiru: That is, unless she has a huge screen! Haruka: Besides! PSE is for 640 X 800! Not 1025 X 768! Hoshi: Why's Ami coming in here?! Ryoku: *frowns* 'Cause I let her in. Erika: This chick's computer is *so* screwed over if she's actually seeing that. Karin: What, you think she's hallucinating it? Erika: **shrug** s'possible. Karin: **disgusted snort** [Ami walks in with her glassess on.] Mamoru: Go ahead, Ami-chan. Ami: [clears throat] You use percentages to set up your page to look right on ALL resolutions! You use table pixels ONLY if your confident that NO ONE will be looking at your page unless they have the same resolution you do. [Short silence] Tory: Who told you that? Ami: Kristie-san! [Ami leaves] Kristie: **flushes deep red** O.O; Uuuhhh.... E,K,T: **snickering** Kristie: Well, I didn't think I'd actually be quoted on it, okay? Especially by Ami! E,K,T: **giggling** Kristie: -.-;; E,K,T: **full blown laughter** Jason: *nods* Well, she's right. Percentages are set for screen width and resolution. The down side to this is that some pics, if set for width, will stretch or shrink to conform with the screen of the viewer. Ryoku: By the way, Jason-kun's job deals with computers, so he thinks he knows it all. Jason: Ryo-kun, I have never once said such a thing. Ryoku: At least he didn't say.... Jason: And, Ryo-kun... shove it! Ryoku: This's all your fault, Tory-san! >Lilith: The picture, to paraphrase Ferio from the last >review, is edited, but it's nice. > Tory: Kristie does great pics! It was hard trying to find pics that could show Moshi's super fuku. Haruka: But that's Manga mixing! Tory: And!? I'm the author! [lightning flashes and thunder rumbles] Hotaru: If you say so! Jason: Ooh! Teach me how to do that! I'm the author! *tumbleweed rolls by and crickets chirp* Jason: Damn.... Kristie: **uses the Force to amplify voice** Damn right! Erika: **grabs muzzle from Karin** Okay, how's this thing work? Karin: Quick! Before she thinks she has a lightsaber! E,K,T: **quickly muzzle Kristie and bind hands with a licorice rope** Kristie: mrrfff mmmffff... MRRRRRRFFFFFFFFFFF!!!!! Erika: Your mind tricks won't work on us, young Jedi. Kristie: -.- mrrfff... Trina: **sigh** Much better. Kristie: O.o; **whimper** Jason: *to Ryoku* No ideas, sword-boy. Ryoku: *ominously* Keep one eye open while you sleep, Jason-kun.... >Solar: I like her hair. And I wish I had a fuku like that. > Mamoru: Go ahead, Tory. Tory: ENVY ME! ALL SHALL ENVY ME!!! Moshi: [outside] You mean, ENVY ME! ALL WILL ENVY ME! Hoshi: I see Setsuna-san wasn't the only one near the espresso machine. Haruka: They're both nuts. Ryoku: Or extremely vain. Kristie: **tries to preen, but is rather unsuccessful in current situation** Erika: Oh, knock it off. Karin: No kidding - Tory-san's the one who designed it. You just followed her directions. Kristie: **slumps and pouts** >Lilith: Okay, now on to the profile. BTW, it should actually >be "Purojekuto: Seeraa Aasu miitos za Sutaaraito Senshi"... > Erika: **starts trying to say title with correct Japanese accent** Staar-ite-uh sen-shee... Karin: Oh give it up. **giggle** Trina: Yeah, your German accent makes it sound really strange. Erika: -.-; Thanks. Jason: Actually, 'miitos' should be miitsu. Ryoku: Mister perfectionist, ladies and gentlemen. Jason: *fumes* Hey! Just because I have a book that's teaching me Japanese doesn't mean that I know everything. Hardly that! I never said I presumed to know everything. Tory: Simple typo, but thanks for alerting me to it. Haruka: It is correct in the Story though. Michiru: Although, the A in Seera is often shown as just one. It depends on the person writing it. Some say Seera others say Sera, some say Seeraa. Ryoku: And some say potatoe and some say potato. Jason: Let's call the whole thing off. All: Really? Jason: NO! Now get back to the review! All: *grumble* Mamoru: Now that was a nitpick. >Solar: But that's a nitpick! And we're not allowed to do that >so stop it. > Jason: *blinks* If she thought that was a nitpick and she knew that she wasn't 'supposed' to do that, then why'd she leave it in? Hotaru: Geez, that wasn't a nitpick! Mamoru: I think they're confusing Nitpicking and C & C Setsuna: Or they were just being sarcastic. Erika: **thwacks Karin upside the head** Yeah, stop it! Karin: **evil glare** Kristie: **giggling** >Lilith: Okay...sorry. *hides* > >Solar: *highlights the text* Again, it's running into the >border. > Tory: Only if you have a mammoth of a screen. Mamoru: This little 14 Tory has works fine. Jason: Nothing wrong on my little laptop, either. Kristie: MRRFFFF MMMMFFFF MMMFFFF MMMRRRRFFFFFFF!!!! Michiru: [turns around] What? Karin: She has a 14 inch screen too. Trina: And it looks fine. Setsuna: **nod** Haruka: [turns around and promptly laughs] What did you do to her!? Erika: Nothing she didn't deserve... ^.^ Kristie: -.- mrrffff... Jason: That must be very uncomfortable.... >Lilith: Relations to the other senshi. That's good. And as >Willow knows it helps in writing too. > Tory: Which is why it's there! Michiru: Somehow, Tory gets a little confused with us Outers. Tory: You guys scare me! Jason: No comment. Ryoku: Wuss. Karin: Huh. Guess we wouldn't know about that. Kristie: **sweatdrop** **shakes head** >Solar: She's a good character, and wowee, she actually has >flaws, unlike some other Sailor Earths. > Mamoru: Flaws?! Compared to other SE's Midget's screwed up! Tory: Moshi's cute, but dysfunctional. Just like her big brother Others: [snickering at Mamoru's red face] Ryoku: *roars with laughter* Jason: Like you have room to talk. Ryo-kun's actually been to see a pyschologist! Ryoku: You dummy! You just put in a spoiler! Jason: Yeah, but it makes my point. How many Senshi do you know that have been to see shrinks for intense mood swings and suicidal tendancies? Ryoku: *hurt voice* Now that's a low blow. Erika: Ain't it interesting how flaws make all the difference? Karin: Yeah, news flash there. Trina: Perfect senshi are stupid. Moshi's flaws give her charm. E,K: Exactly. >Lilith: I guess it's easier to create a developed character >when you only have to make one. > Hoshi: And what the hell am I? Chopped liver? Moshi: [outside] Cute chopped liver... Hoshi: **sweatdrops** Ryoku: I'd say that she's got tunnel vision. Jason: Or she needs glasses. Ryoku: Like the coke bottles that Jason-kun wears. Jason: *frowns* Touché. All: **sweatdrop** Karin: Since when did the rest of the cast die? >Solar: I bet it would be... > Erika: **assuming SVirtual mode** Yeah... **nods thoughfully and pretends to chomp on gum** K,K,T: **giggle** Tory: Well actually, Moshi's not the only character. I've got Hoshi here. Shi-chan, Mi-chan and a host of others to deal with. Moshi's just the focus! >Willow: Which I know nothing about because I've had to create >somewhere in the vicinity of 30 for my various stories and >fanfictions... > Hoshi: Isn't that overkill? Haruka: For a Senshi storyline. Yes. Michiru: By that stage, they're all cardboard cutouts! Jason: Unless you spend a LOT of time carefully crafting those characters.... Ryoku: Jason-kun doesn't have a life, either. Jason: Now you're pushing it. Kristie: Mmmmfff?? O.o Erika: No kidding! Thirty!? Trina: Why!? Karin: Why would you do that to yourself? And on purpose? **shakes head** >Lilith: Uh...yeah. > >Solar: Go take your herbal remedies, Riv. *Willow leaves* >Thank you! Now on to the stories. > >Lilith: It's been a year or so since we last read this fic, >hasn't it? > Tory: The ARC's are BETTER! Mamoru: Down, Tory! Jason: And they have a new, minty fresh flavor to them, too. Ryoku: PSE: the freshmaker. Erika: So, did they re-read it, or just re-review it? Karin: Probably just re-reviewed it. Trina: Chickens. E,K: :D >Solar: I think so. Anyway, one thing I noticed is the use of >Japanese words. I understand it and all, 'cause Willow took a >semester of Japanese classes, but people who haven't been in >the anime community for too long won't. > Michiru: Which is why there are translations at the bottom, ne. Tory: Correct! Jason: A clear case of in one ear and out the other. Ryoku: Meaning that there was nothing in between to stop it. Karin: **assumes SQ mode** So, we're, like, experts now! Eh-HEE! Kristie: **whine** Erika: **takes pity** Alright, alright... I know what you want to say... **removes muzzle** Kristie: **deep breath** Thanks. :) Yeah, um, I worked with a woman last week who was in Japan for 5 years, and took language classes the whole time. She only knew 1300 Hiragana by the time she left, and was only partially fluent. So, for Willow to go proclaiming that she knows better because of one semester...? I don't think so! Jason: *nods in agreement* Besides, those word particles alone are hard enough to grasp without hard studying. Ami: Here, here! Jason: Not to mention the interesting way that they form verbs. All: **pause** Erika: Y'done? Kristie: **eyes Erika warily** yeeaaaahh... Erika: Muzzle goes back on. Kristie: **puppy dog eyes** Karin: Sorry, but it's for your own good. Kristie: **pouts** I have the Force... Trina: **mock voice** And we're scared. Kristie: O.o;; >Lilith: Which is why there are translations at the bottom, see? > [Everyone looks at Michiru] Setsuna: I thought I predicted the future here. Michiru: I need to quit hanging with you! Erika: These phrases and words aren't hard to pick up, though. Karin: Yeah, but Kre-chan needed them too, at first, remember? Erika: **nods** True. Ryoku: And so did Jason-kun. Jason: We all begin somewhere. >Solar: Yes, but I would suggest putting them at the top, or >just whenever a Japanese word is used put its translation in >parentheses. > Tory: yes, next time Usagi does her intro, I'll just stop the story and put (for love and blah blah blah) Mamoru: *BAM* Don't you start! Tory: Ouchie! Okay! Trina: Putting them at the bottom is fine with me! Karin: Yeah, I think they're distracting in the middle of the story. Trina: Me too. Ryoku: Me three. Jason: Me four. >Lilith: The suffixes are okay, those actually sometimes add >a lot to the story as they show the relationships between >characters. > All: [nods] Tory: Also those close to Moshi call her Mo-chan! Mamoru: I prefer Midget. Ryoku: I prefer Moshi-chan. Erika: Uh, DUH!!!! Karin: **giggle** Yeah, since we're all SO ignorant about the suffix thing. Trina: I remember hearing that a long time ago! Erika: Yeah, I think that's something we're all taught at one point or another - for absolutely no reason. K,K,T: **laugh** >Solar: But when it's whole phrases like "Kami-sama, onegai mamo >Moshi" (not correct Japanese grammar either, as far as I know, >cos the verb goes at the end and the conjugation is dodgy) it's >distracting. > Hoshi: Boku wa Tenchino Hoshi. Mamoru: *WHAM* Hoshi: OUCH! Mamoru: That was distracting! Karin: What does "cos" mean? Erika: Don't you start now... Trina: What does "Kami-sama, onegai mamo Moshi" mean? Karin: **shrug** Beats me. Erika: Maybe there's a translation at the bottom... Kristie: **knocks Erika with her shoulder** -.- mrrrffff... Jason: *reaches for his dictionary/thesaurus, aka the wordfinder* Dodgy? Is that a word? Ryoku: That's distracting! >Lilith: But it's a great fic, really. Very well written, >and the plot is excellent. Original too. > All: oooooh! Tory: [starts beaming] Ryoku: Not to be a nitpicker, but didn't she already say that? Jason: This is a second impression, Ryo-kun. If she needs to reaffirm her statements, let her be. Ryoku: Okay. I just wanted to be sure. Erika: Y'know, I'm still not seeing any redemption here! Karin: No kidding! She's still picking apart the same things she did the first time - just more nicely. Erika: Yeah... this whole thing just sounds very... fake to me. But of course, that's MY opinion! Kristie: **giggle** >Solar: Moshi is a very dynamic character, which is good >especially compared to Willow's static ones... > Ryoku: And whose fault is that, pray tell? Haruka: That and she's dysfunctional. Moshi: [wailing outside] HARUKA-SAN! Trina: Hehe. Takes a lot to bash your own characters. :D Erika: At least she's seen them for what they are. ^.^ >Willow: *seethes in the background* > Ryoku: Look out! She's gonna blow! Hoshi: Oh dear, her head's gonna explode! All: EWWW! HOSHI! All: **bust up laughing at Hoshi's comment** Jason: Maybe we should grab those plastic sheets that they give to the people in the front row who attend those Gallager shows. Ryoku: Who? Jason: That comedian who was famous for smashing watermelons with a sledgehammer. Ryoku: Oh. I don't think many people will get the reference. Jason: *shrugs* It worked for MST3K. >Lilith: I especially liked Moshi's occasional "identity >crisis" moments, such as when she turned into Mosite and >when she thought she was Rei. > >Solar: So it's an excellent fanfic, really it is, just the >Japanese and stuff. > Setsuna: What? Just the Japanese and Stuff?! What stuff!? Michiru: [sneaks Setsuna's cup away] Haruka: Just stuff. Deal with it, Setsuna. Setsuna: Oh shut up. Karin: Oh look! We're back to the infamous "n'stuff" comment! Trina: I second Setsuna! Erika: Why is it so hard for this girl to be specific about anything? Jason: AAAH! I swear, the next time I hear the phrase 'and stuff' I will allow Ryoku to take Ginzuishouken 'and stuff' it somewhere where you will definitely not appreciate. >Lilith: And the timeline seems a bit off, but maybe that's >just me. > Tory: Calm yourself, I'm rewritting it! Erika: Proof that they didn't re-read it. Tory-san has it pasted all over the place that she's rewriting it to fix those discrepancies. Karin: **nods** That she does. Jason: Once again, I've personally asked Tory-san about this and she has explained things to my satisfaction. Ask first! Maybe then you'll learn something. >Solar: But I think she said it's being rewritten to correct >the timeline errors, which will be good. > [Everyone looks at Tory] Tory: Minor coincidence! All: **snort** Jason: *skeptical* Really.... >Lilith: Yeah. Okay, now what do we have to do...pictures? > Ryoku/Jason: KAMI-SAMA, NO!!! All: ARGH! NOT THE GALLERY! Tory: I'm seriously considering removing that part! Kristie: **rolls eyes heaven-wards** mmmrrrffff... Karin: **wry look** She just couldn't resist, could she? Erika: **calls up to front** Don't take it out, Tory-san! Willow's just an idiot! Jason: If you do that, then you let her win! Keep it up and unchanged to spite her! You have the right and the power! Ryoku: If you say, 'you go girl', I will hurt you so bad. Jason: *opens his mouth* Ryoku/Jason: Shove it, Ryo-kun. Ryoku: *sighs* Say that again and I'll shove a cracker down your throat. >Solar: Sure, why not. Most of them are edited, some drawn >though. I like the pop-up boxes. Very convenient and a nice >touch. > >Lilith: Some of the pictures are sloppily edited, though the >pictures the author drew aren't bad. > Tory: Mine? Aren't bad?! A three toed sloth could draw better! Michiru: Stop being hard of yourself! Jason: At least you can draw! Ryoku: Jason-kun can't draw stick figures. Jason: *indignant* Hey! I'm not THAT bad! All: **giggling** Trina: What's a three-toed sloth? Karin: **whips out a National Geographic** Here... >Solar: Kristie Green's pics...wow. Great coloring and shading. > Mamoru: Oh no. Kristie's head's gonna implode at this! Kristie: **preens like mad** Erika: Oh WHY!?? Did she REALLY have to say that!? It's not like she's insufferable enough! K, T: **laughing at Kristie** Trina: She looks so... stupid... with that muzzle on! :D Kristie: **deflated** -.- hrrmmff >Lilith: Is anybody ever gonna review the Starlight Senshi? > >Willow: Eventually...I'm getting to it. > Jason: Well, forewarned is forearmed. Right, Kristie-san? All: **riotous laughter** Kristie: **laughs evilly as best she can with muzzle on** Ryoku: I can almost feel sorry for Willow. Jason: Really? Ryoku: *thinks* Hmmm.... Actually... no. Tory: I hope that it's not nitpicked over as well. I'm *mild* compared to Kristie-san. All: [starts shuddering in fear] Haruka: I haven't felt that scared since facing Galaxia! Hotaru: Don't remind me! Jason: Is she THAT bad? Kristie: **barely able to move mouth** Hey, Mmm not that mbad, mm I? All in theater: **knowing glance** Kristie: oh. Ryoku: And that answers your question, Jason-kun. >Lilith: Okay. Anyway, pictures good. Now, overall. > >Solar: We think it's good. > >Lilith: I think it's better than our fanfic. I'm jealous. > All: Oooooh?! Hotaru: Freud slip? Mamoru: o.O;; Jason: *chuckles* Erika: Teehee!! Karin: Revenge is sweet, eh Tory-san? ^.~ >Willow: *continues to seethe* > Ryoku: Uhoh.... She's got that pre-rampage, stressed postal worker look on her face. Better hurry before she loses it! >Solar: Uh, we better wrap it up before she explodes or >something. Anyway, we think this is a very, very good fic. >Okay? Happy now? > Tory: Hmm. Should I be happy? Hotaru: Well, they didn't nitpick. Hoshi: But that last part sounds a tad snippish. Setsuna: A few parts sound a bit snippish. Mamoru: But I think that's as close to apology you're gonna get. Tory: Well, I tried! Erika: Well, no, not really. Karin: TRY BEING SINCERE NEXT TIME!! Trina: Or even just doing it right next time. Ryoku: Or better still, just don't do it at all! Jason: You would be doing the entire Sailor Moon Fanfiction community a huge favor and making the Internet a slightly safer place to live. Ryoku: If it wasn't for all the spamming, viruses, and other such disagreeable stuff floating around there. Jason: *flatly* You are such a rainbow of sunshine, Ryo-kun. Ryoku: *deadpan* I try. >Lilith: And we rate it a 2. > All: What's a 2?! Erika: **SVirtual mode** See, it's this number that-- Tory: Didn't I warn you once!?? Erika: **thoroughly cowed** Sorry... Jason: A 2!!! Last time you gave it a 2.5. Now it's a 2?!? By your dubious standards, you're saying that her story is slightly WORSE than before! Do you even know what kind of rating system you're using? Ryoku: I'd suggest thumbs-up or thumbs-down, but I fear the concept may be too advanced for the poor, misguided child. >Solar: I think we need to change this rating system... > Jason: See? Even they don't know how their own rating system works! >Lilith: Anyway, uh...bye! Hope this was an improvement! Tory: It was better than the last one! THAT'S how a review should be done! Hotaru: I think her head's swelling too. Tory: Quiet you. Ryoku: It was better, yet still.... *big sign appears* All: YOU DON'T KNOW JACK! Jason: *blinks* Whoops! Uh, sorry. I was just playing that game a little while ago. I guess it got in here somehow. Ryoku: Jason-kun.... *sweatdrops* Jason: Anyway, it's slightly better. Ryoku: Shall we rate it on our rating system? Jason: *blinks* We have a rating system? Ryoku: Anou... *thinks* ...no, we don't. Jason: *facefaults* Okay, then.... I say that I'll give this review a... *smirks* ...2. Ryoku: *looks askance at Jason* A 2? Jason: Out of 10. Ryoku: *nods* Ah... I see. Karin: uh... Sorta! :P Trina: Should we take the muzzle off now? Erika: **raises an eyebrow as she studies Kristie** No... I like her that way. Kristie: Mmmmrrrrfffff!? O.O;; Karin: Yeah, it's kinda nice to know that you have a voice, Trina. ^.^ Trina: Thanks!
