Ficlets: from the 100 prompts (063) and for the camus-can't

title :(063) summer
word count ~ 300
disclaimer: What are the chances that a girl like me and a StS manga/anime/set of dubious movies belong together? Not good. As good as one out of a billion. Wait, that would mean there is a chance, and no: StS belongs to Kurumada and Toei, so no chances. Ours is an impossible relationship. *sigh*

Such a display of friendship! Such a display of sacrifice for the other! This... This has moved me to tears. *plays the harp*

ghaidin October 16 2006, 00:57:05 UTC

I know *snif* With friends like that... with *snif* friends like that... who needs enemies!?

watch the harp, I hear DM has no ear for music, and no tolerance either. Asuranceturix (known as Cacofonix in some other places) would have had a very short career in Sanctuary. Damn, now I feel like reading Asterix&Obelix

Hush! Don't tempt me to go find my Asterix&Obelix books. They are buried so deeply in whoknowswhich of the many boxes with books that I doubt I'd be able to come back alive from that task.

On the other side, thanks for reminding me I wanted to read the article on wikipedia about it.

... and I just got the best mental image of DM smashing the harp into Asuranceturix' head. Talk about a crossover that breaks my brain.

StS - A&O crossover! Now that's something. Abraracurcix vs the Kyoko, round one!
Mime and Asuracenturix start a celtic-rock band!
And I want to say Fenrir and Ideafix would become great friends :)

StS - A&O crossover!

*proudly* I've done it! Well, just for one tiny episode, but still.

And once we had an impromptu "The village of the Gauls vs StS dudes" RPG in Stayka's chat. Can't remember all details now, but at some point Siren Sorrento was thrown onto Unhygienix's stalls, along with other stinky fish. >:-)

Dude, Cacofonix and Mime getting together to make muzik? You do know it's called genocide, don't you?

*starry eyes*

Would you happen to have a copy of that? As in, a copy that you could send... I don't know... to Ghaidin *cough* for example *coughcough*

Unhygienix would have probably sprinkled Sorrento with water for "freshness" and sell him as recent catch

Mime would be Cacofonix's dream! For once he wouldn't be the one tied up forced out of the party! Imagine his happiness at encountering a captive (literally!) audience :)

I'm starting to wonder whether Kurumada copied from Goscinny... Dohko is obviously a version of Geriatrix and Athena is just a glorified version of Impedimenta *nods*

Have you ever seen my loony bin here -- http://asgard.saintseiya.biz/Loonies/loonies.html ? The stuff you might be interested in is in very beginning. ;)

As for crossover, it's in one of Zeus Saga chapters, here I believe:

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!
true, i had seen the loony bin.

i'll leave zeus for tonight or no work will get done today, i'd say ;)

He's called Asuranceturix in Spanish translation? What does it mean, btw? Oh, and G.I.P.! :D

ghaidin October 16 2006, 13:58:53 UTC

He's called Asuranceturix in Spanish translation? What does it mean, btw?

My first answer to that was "dunno... got the name straight from French (though there it was spelled "Assurancetourix")
But curious kitty googled around a bit and now is happy to know: Name in French was chosen so that it'd sound like "assurance tout risque" o "assurance tous risques" (insurance against all risks)
According to meh source (wiki in Spanish here) in some Spanish editions his name was chance to Aseguracenturix, so that it'd be closer to the original meaning. Never saw it like that, and it wouldn't have helped a bit if I had.
So there.

Cacofonix would have made way more sense.

While I was at it, I also searched Abraracúrcix. (Known sometimes as Abrazopartidix it seems. Who read all those other editions, anyway?) Anyhow, from "à bras raccourcis " ... at broken arm? Idoubt the expression exists in English, maybe a good translation would be "with bare fists"Now I feel deep urges to read about them brave gauls and the one little village that never ( ... )
