Lady Strange & Mr Matsumoto –Session 10, part 1 mmestrange July 13 2009, 11:22:47 UTC

While Nelly’s stomach acids were digesting Mr Ohno and translating his mortal body back to the world on the surface, Lady Strange returned to the palatial country seat of Lord Harry where her carriage was waiting. No sooner had she returned to the grounds of that estate when she was hailed by Lord Mephistopheles leaning carelessly on a pillar ( ... )

“At least you succeeded in realising that you discarded an integral part of yourself. There are some people who go out looking for themselves and end up finding other lovers,” replied the she-devil conversationally as she helped herself to the tea. “That aside; pray, tell me, are you more disgusted with yourself or with Mr Ohno at this point ( ... )

Lady Strange cracked a thin smile and steepled her hands meditatively at her chin. “Deny it how you will - but you did think of it, n’est ce pas? That’s why you could comment that Ayumu seemed scared of Mr Ohno. You think that Ayumu is frightened stiff of his Satoshi-papa because Satoshi-papa wanted little Ayu dead.”

“No, that’s not what I think!”

“Then why do you think Mr Ohno has done other things to Ayumu other than feeding him capsicum laced food?” chortled her ladyship softly.

“I don’t know!” shouted Jun, glaring at his therapist.

“Your dirty looks of scorn are wasted on a hardened devil. Let me tell you something, Mr Matsumoto, you do know that there are only three things Mr Ohno doesn’t see as chores, videlicit, art, fishing, and sex,” the devil continued unrelentingly ( ... )

Ignoring Jun’s outburst, her ladyship went on with due consideration: “Mr Miyazono is right that it’s no coincidence Old Man Kitagawa wanted Arashi out for some reason. To Old Man Kitagawa, Arashi is literally the ‘one left over’. The question here is whether Kitagawa did the things he did vis-à-vis Arashi’s dissolution as a pre-emptive strike against Arashi before Arashi decided to do anything to him? If so, what is so afraid that Arashi could do to him? Perhaps Kitagawa’s wary of the people within Arashi. Collectively, you lot can be formidable ( ... )

Getting a little defensive over your hubby, aren't we? I think it's sweet that you miss him. <3333

Once again Ayumu sheds light on something! Admit it, the boy is growing on you like a fungus. That section was written especially for the purposes of our therapy sessions. Now who shall we punish for this *little* piece of information that has come to the surface...?

A piece of inside information for you: In regards to your indirect question of Iago's pre-emptive strike against Arashi...what would you say if I told you that maybe Iago is paranoid? And that after gaining all that power through less than honorable means, he seeks the advice of an 'oracle' to ensure that he is many steps ahead of everyone he's had to step on to be on top. Perhaps this oracle offers him advice/a prophesy in the form of an ambiguous poem...

Re: Lady Strange & Mr Matsumoto –Session 10, part 5 mmestrange July 15 2009, 11:38:36 UTC

Ayumu, the bracket fungus, very good for blood circulation. Heh! Lots of people can be punished and do deserve to be punished, where do we start?

Iago, paranoid? Typical of the overly power hungry. Seeks the advice of an Oracle, you say? My word, he is a superstitious bloke. And then he interprets the poem wrongly and sets all this nonsense into being. Typical Iago, but fun for us.

Re: Lady Strange & Mr Matsumoto –Session 10, part 5 unare_haineko July 16 2009, 05:30:45 UTC

Ah, what if we (heh, since pain and suffering are our specialties) use something of an Acrisius (was that his name? The father of Perseus?) or Oedipus/Laius tragedy where they try to outsmart fate, by seeking the knowledge of the oracle, but they end up screwing themselves over. For had they not tried to avoid their fate, perhaps they would not have ended so badly...or something ( ... )

Re: Lady Strange & Mr Matsumoto –Session 10, part 5 mmestrange July 16 2009, 06:52:27 UTC

It makes sense to me. It would just be like Iago to something like that (because I've diagonosed him with megalomaniac paranoia).

Out of a desire to consolidate his power and have even more, he consults the Oracle. Since the Oracle always says such cryptic things, they are open to various interpretations. Iago, being a chloeric sort of fellow, gives the prophesy a negative and perverse spin (as per the symptoms of megalomaniac paranoia which I discuss in the Jun section of the commentary). This spin involves him interpreting something for Arashi (or the members) and he takes it into his head that they (the Arashi lads) will bite the feed them. This in turn sets in chain Iago's means to safeguard his empire by demolishing Arashi.

See, it makes perfect sense.

Re: Lady Strange & Mr Matsumoto –Session 10, part 5 unare_haineko July 17 2009, 04:40:25 UTC

Sooo I've been working on the Oracle's prophesy and I have it in the form of a poem--4 stanzas, 5 lines each. I just need a cause of death for one of the lines. I can't make up my mind to use either 'shameful death', 'death by exsanguination', 'death by fire'...given my Iago so far, what sort of death would you think to be most appropriate or would instill the most fear in him?

Dying, The Oracle & Iago mmestrange July 17 2009, 06:52:14 UTC

Death doesn't have to a physical death. It can be a metaphorical one, leading to a physical death ( ... )

Re: Dying, The Oracle & Iago unare_haineko July 19 2009, 07:01:05 UTC

I thought about it and did some research. I decided on 突然死 (totsuzenshi) which is 'sudden death', but it refers to a type of death that occurs within 24 hours of the first sign of the symptoms. There is also another type of death which is called 瞬間死 (shunkanshi), which is an 'instantaneous death', presumably causing death within one hour, but that doesn't really fit like the 'totsuzenshi' A prophesy that foresees death so quick that he has no chance to react? Yes? Which would make Iago even more paranoid, yes?

Perhaps I should send you the prophesy...or would you prefer that it be a surprise when I unveil it?

Re: Dying, The Oracle & Iago mmestrange July 19 2009, 08:30:32 UTC

突然死 (tu ran shi) in mandarin does mean sudden death in mandarin. That makes it better for paranoid Iago and his fear of losing everything... *snigger* the old bugger deserves it anyway.

Knowing that he'll die but not knowing when it'll strike or how it would strike would be frightening for someone like Iago because he likes to control everything. Not knowing when or how means he doesnt have any control. That could drive him mad and is a kind a death in itself.

Sudden instantaneous death isn't as frightening because you're alive one moment and at the next, you drop dead. There is no agonising or anything.

I'll wait for the prophesy and have a good snigger over it (and Iago's panic).
