Lady Strange & Mr Sakurai, Session 6, part 1

[mmestrange]

As soon as she turned around the bend from the bus stop, her ladyship was pleased to learn that her Cyclops butler had the good sense to send a footman up to the surface with her curricle. It was just the very thing she needed to travel to the University of Tokyo where her next client would be waiting

Seemingly as though she had not heard him, Miss Unare addressed Lady Strange, “We came at the wrong time. The morning glories have closed their buds already.”

“A shame the ipomoea tricolour should not be in bloom for us,” affirmed her ladyship as she beckoned for Sho. “Come walk with us, Mr Sakurai. It is a shame to admire these specimens on our own

“Atropa comes from the name of one of the Fates, Atropos. She’s the one that cuts the thread of life when it’s all over. The meaning is clear, hein? Eat any part of the plant and your thread of life will be cut,” her ladyship laughed chillingly. “Bella donna is Italian for beautiful lady. Combine Atropa with bella donna and you get the meaning, ‘do not betray a beautiful lady’. An apt warning for you, n’est-ce pas?”

“What do you mean by that?” Sho sputtered, rubbing his brow nervously at this slew of revelation.

Haineko laughed on hearing this and taunted him with a nudge to the ribs and a jibe: “Sly dog, have you a beautiful lady secreted somewhere? Are you going to be a faithless deceiver and betray her?”

“Do that and it will be the end of you,” added Lady Strange, lightly touching one of the berries with a caressing finger. “Atropa belladonna is commonly just called Belladonna. And belladonna in the language of flowers means ‘hush’ and ‘silence’. Betray your beauty and it will be permanent silence for you in death, hein

“How sweet,” mock cooed her ladyship, leaning heavily on his arm. “Keep this up and you’ll turn my head

“But it usually means a final farewell - you give someone, say your sweetheart who’s going off to war, a black rose as a sign of your pure and eternal devotion because you know he’s not likely to come back. Alternatively, it could also mean overcoming a long, ponderous journey. I personally prefer this second interpretation,” her ladyship said

I've grown rather fond of M. Sakurai's therapy sessions, even more so since it means that the dynamic duo get to harass the horse with one brain cell with blinders *together*. We can be so evil together. *smirks*

Sho's section was such a joy to write, though it did take me quite some time to gather up all the information, string together all the things I had gathered and weave something 'subtly' into the background of my main plot. So subtle to the average reader, but those things had neon signs screaming 'ANALYZE ME' much like dear Alice and her 'EAT ME' and 'DRINK ME' nourishment. All goodies for her ladyship!

We’re so evil yet M. Sakurai treats us with such great gentlemanly civility, it is most flattering. The poor sod had the observational range of a cake fork and the emotional range of a teaspoon, all the more fun for us. *giggles faintly behind an open fan

A pleasant surprise, yay!! You're welcome. Vindication as the wisteria makes its appearance for the second time!!

Of course Sho has not noticed a thing. He's too focused on himself (like everyone in Itsumademo) and how there are all these puzzling things happening all of a sudden to him. The boy went years without knowing the real Masaki. If he doesn't even know what lies beneath his beloved Masaki in a tin can, how can he notice the goddess of the rainbow looming in the shadows?

With Dr. Etrange's entrance, comes more mystery. Of course Iris would have to have a connection with Dr. Etrange and her colleague, Tsuchimoto Aides(u), would have to be Iris' faculty advisor. More connections, more wheels within wheels....XDDD

Someone should smack him with a wet fish. No, chain him on a wooden plank and unleash revolving chain saws on him. Sho doesnt even know himself, how can he know Masaki? That's something he has to figure out on his own. Face himself first and see what he has become, then can he understand what is going on around him

Re: Lady Strange & Mr Sakurai, Session 6, part 5

[unare_haineko]

A smack with a wet fish! How apropos! And then you can use it to bash M. Ohno in the face as well. Perhaps then he can tell Jun that he 'caught' a fish--with his face.

Iris, Aides, Nemesis &ca... I love that the wheels and cogs be turning round and round.... Aides was strictly for you, my dear. And I just had to put another reference to Greek mythology in Ch 14 as well.

30+ chapters? I wouldn't be surprised. But I try not to let it get too long because then people get intimidated by the length... Oh, well, they can just deal. Those who are not willing to think or are intimidated by complex plots, exit stage right via Dr. Etrange's elevator. *sniggers*
