I've actually been a long-time reader of your fiction. :) I love how in-character it is, and how fluid the characters are--not a single one out of place, and the seriousness here is divine.

[symbolism_egg]

Oh, have you? I'm delighted to hear it. :) I love the Noah Clan characters, which I'm sure is more than apparent.

(Ahhh, your icon is so lovely!)

[augmentine]

Yes, I have. :) <3 And of course it's apparent XD it's hard to stumble across fiction about the Clan that isn't too OOC, so I appreciate it whenever I can.

(Thank you, very much <3 When I saw the panel, I sighed out loud. Road is becoming more lovely each time she appears.)

[symbolism_egg]

I'm glad you enjoyed my fics. <3 I was frustrated by how hard it was to find good Noah fics, myself, and ended up writing the kind of stories I wanted to read. But there ARE some amazing fics out there! I finally made that rec post of my favorites.

So true! I loved the Rhode-and-Allen moments in the latest chapter. I was grinning the whole time.

>///w///< their interaction is just so sweet, and amusing. It's fun to read and watch, especially since Road rarely shows off her more serious nature...I mean, I think one of the reasons I find her a very hard character to write for, is that her whole past is unknown.

If not for Skinn, none of us would ever know *how* they were born, exactly. <3

Oh! *goes to see the said post*

[symbolism_egg]

It is amusing, and kinda sweet. Of course, Allen is freaked out by Rhode, too, and who can blame him? Rhode is SO hard to write--her sheer capricious power is hard to capture. I like her past as depicted in "Centuries Before I Come to Where You Are" because damn, that story is amazing enough to suit her.

Thank you, Skinn's flashback! I wonder if any other Noah awakenings will be depicted in the manga. There was Wisely's brief one, too, but it didn't tell us much. I'm hoping for flashbacks here...

Enjoy. :)

[augmentine]

Exactly. Gah! I've been toying with a few story ideas but they all don't have that special -click- for Road. xD Getting just the right pinches of eloquence, sweetness, sadism and childish playfulness is hard to do...without making Road seem OOC.

"Centuries..." is an awesome fic, I love the idea of Road laughing in the midst of flames...it suits her so well.

Yes, thank you, Skinn flashback! I can't wait to see if Road's own past will be revealed, or it is entirely left up to us, the readers/viewers...she must have had the hardest time since she alone was born first, and only first...

(Road quoting a Bible passage made reading the bible a whole lot more interesting...personally. ;D)

Lol, Waizuri...I remember seeing that and thinking "wtf happened there?!"

Then I saw everyone's party outfits + Tyki's new hairstyle...Waizuri is a pretty cool guy himself, reading people's thoughts like that XD

[symbolism_egg]

Those ideas are worth trying to write anyway--you could always experiment and see how they turn out. :) It is hard to include and balance all those traits of hers, though...

Isn't it though? I love how that fic conveys the passage of centuries, with Rhode in the middle of them.

I'm not too hopeful for more Noah flashbacks at this point, except that maybe the 14th's past will be explored a little more.

Two-page awakening sequence! XD But don't talk to me about those horrible outfits...

[augmentine]

Yes, it is...DX add too much of this and too much of that and boom, OC!Road comes into play. Oh well...I'll keep trying, in any case. I think I already have a small inkling of an idea...

It's simply something else, entirely. The way the seiyuu spoke was as if Road really was there, just casually narrating the scenery...<3

I have a feeling that the 14th's past really will be delved into, if not thoroughly, then at least enough for us to understand his side of the story.

I guess it does take away the certain mystique Road has about her for Awakening, and how much she really does seem to know...:'D

While I do agree that they are a bit...odd, to be kind, I did get a kick seeing her in a dress...

[symbolism_egg]

I suspect I add too little of everything...Let's all keep trying. Whatever your idea is, it's a start. :3 (Now I'm curious!)

Yeah, since it has to do directly with Allen and all.

Good point--Rhode's so mysterious it's almost more fun to imagine what her past is like ourselves.

I do love Rhode's dress, actually! That one's cute. And the twins aren't so bad, they're likely to wear something weird. It's just...uhhh, Tiki, why...(I blame Sheryl. For everything.)
