i am almost scared to come back to this journal... i've missed so many things.
but i can't miss the spazz for this chapter.
1. it seems that
byakuran knew that irie was a turncoat all along. but as
lyn pointed out in chat, it doesn't seem evident that irie has ALWAYS been a turncoat. it's highly likely he was completely taken with byakuran at the start.
WHY, what byakuran did to ensnare him, how byakuran processed the realization that irie was a possible spy, are fun things to think about!
2. this is really, really farfetched, but... i'm seeing a few parallels between
millefiore's guardians and the vongola guardians. i'm sure others have thought of this, but i'm putting out my thoughts anyway.
here are my possible matchups, based on physical and conceptual similarities:
- white-haired person (male? female? can't tell atm) with limiter-type clip earring = gokudera
- angsty shin angyo onshi knockoff reborn/yamamoto/shamal lovechild = yamamoto. is it my imagination, or is that a chin scar??
- guy with sparkly eyes in mask and wrist cuffs = mukuro. this one particular person is setting off AU alarms in my head. i mean if byakuran can be some AU form of tsuna, can't this guy - and the other millefiore guardians! - be an AU of his vongola counterpart as well?
although it really seems unlikely. aggy had pointed out, it might just be one of mukuro's cellmates XD he can't be the only one in the vindice prison, ne? edit: okay, not mukuro. i am very easy to convince XD
- scarred guy - hibari
- masked(?) fanged guy - ryohei
- little girl(?) - lambo. i also have a feeling s/he might be arcobaleno. s/he'd be the same age RL lambo would be, i think... if s/he'd been allowed to grow up. and afaik, we haven't seen gingerbread yet.
and you know, for me, this just opens up possibilities of the millefiore guardians being the vongola guardians pulled from other dimensions. some of them - byakuran included - might even be AU!vongola, ten years hence.
(please don't think i'm fully convinced of this. argumentation is still welcome in this white padded room.)

LUSSURIA CAN'T SEE WITHOUT HIS GLASSES. i can't be the only one seeing the angst potential in this, can i?? i mean, those are DARK glasses. tinted so dark you can't see into his potentially bishie eyes. how come he can't see without them? is the future so bright he gotta wear shades??!
right. need to sleep. there's this thing called work and it's going to start biting my ass in roughly four hours.
i... will... try to catch up somehow with my flist as soon as i can. i'm so sorry T_T
