(Untitled)
Now, the last thing I need is to start another AU. I've got Victoria, MarriedBoys, Agents, general drabbles, the occasional foray into Iambic's Streetmusicians and then a few half-finished pieces that, quite frankly, need closure. Did that stop me from writing said AU? No. So Happy Easter!
Title: Into the aether
Fandom: xxxHolic
Series: On air

like smoke; fleeting, pervasive. Intoxicating.
-I get the vision of incense here. It's great way to describe Yuuko - she is like that.
whom our informants report to be a somewhat unsavory character
-I wonder why XD I do like how you've written this with a narrator's voice, though. It's something new :D
In their entirety they may, we admit, seem fantastic, but at the time -and one by one- they were just simple incidents, such as life is full of, and they occurred and went rather unnoticed by most.
-I love this break down of the fantastic into the ordinary. Because in hindsight that's exactly what it is. A collision of normality to create one strange situation.
Skidding on slippery, water-filled tracks one realizes, the walls that are meant to protect us are so thin, so very thin and they crumble. They’re fragile. So are we.
-Sobering but wonderfully balanced prose. The long elegant sentence followed by the two short ones which deliver their sharp conjoined message. Er, I think I'm trying to say that it sound wonderful >.>
Radio Chiffon Cake and Radio 100 Ghost Stories
-Watanuki there is no hope for you XD
People liked hearing Himawari tell scary stories, or read the horoscope (which she lovingly came up with every day) and they liked listening to Watanuki lecturing sternly about the importance of fresh food and always washing the cutting board assiduously.
-The last part of that sentence nearly killed me. Oh dear, I think Watanuki's listeners are very different from Himawari's. But then again, considering how people have strange interests that coincide, maybe not :D Or maybe Watanuki is just hilarious - they aren't listening for the household tips.
During a publicity stunt the reporter, who was bungee-jumping
-A bungee-jumping reporter. It's not entirely out there but it cracks me up anyway. I also like how that bad luck crept in there.
Old friend
-Ooh. It's going to be interesting to find out how Yuuko and Himawari are acquainted. Because of her bad luck?
Himawari lets Watanuki open the door and it seems that Watanuki is the one to make the wish - why didn't Himawari do it? It feels like something else is going on here.
a player very skilled or very clumsy he could not tell
-I like the ambiguity there. Another reflection of Yuuko's character.
Yuuko looked up from the papers in front of her with a slow smirk, safe and secure behind the massive desk.
-LOL. So it looks like Yuuko's moved in and capitalized on the success.
all your rampant fans & everybody loves Watanuki! So we need Doumeki to love him the most!
-XD Is this somewhat of a reference to us as well? LOL. That last bit is the best line.
Thankyou! My Easter is now complete XD

Mm, good. I love how you always seem to grasp exactly what I want to convey. :D
No reason whatsoever, right XD Yuuko is as innocent as a lamb. Right.
Exactly. The strange is created when normal doesn't happen quite the right way, or too many times, or at the wrong time or all at once.
A friend of mine gave me a ride the other day and, truth to be told, I was terrified. She's somewhat of a manic driver and it was dark and wet and I started thinking, "these walls are pretty thin. If we hit something they'll crumple like paper" and it was very sobering. I'm glad you think it sounds wonderful. :D
There truly is not. Not when fangirls are in charge.
Haha, probably, yes! Watanuki's got all the desperate middle-aged housewives and Himawari's got the kids. Some people are probably listening for a lark, yeah, because Watanuki in full rant mode is good amusement (as Doumeki well knows) although they should pay attention to the tips as well. They might come in handy.
Naw, it's not out there at all. I thought that was a quite common thing? Oh well. So you caught the hint of bad luck, well done!
Mm, the waters of the past are murky indeed... *whistles innocently*
Er. Time will tell. Maybe.
She is ambiguous, to say the least. She's also audacious enough to venture to play a game even if she is not necessarily good at it. So who can say?
What can I say, Yuuko's got the capital to back her up. :D
Just a tad. XD
Oh, you're welcome! Many eggs?

:D
LOL
*nods enthusiastically* I do love your observations of life in general. They add a nice touch to all your fic.
A drive like that, eh? It's a good motivation for keeping your will updated. Well not wonderful as in I'm taking joy in that fact. Wonderful in the descriptive sense.
Poor Watanuki XD
I'm sad to say that is all too easy to imagine :D
I've only seen it done on holiday shows. But I suppose things are done differently where you are XD
I guess I'll have to wait and see.
LOL.
Indeed.
Rich too. Oh dear, this Yuuko is going going to drive Watanuki nuts. Though that doesn't take much effort XD
Thought so.
A few. It was enough sugar to make me rather happy for a while XD But I hope your Easter was chocolate-filled too?
