Re: Commentary & Analysis CH 17, Sho section: Choice of Poison

To be perfectly honest, the choices for the initial order at Clematis required a bit of research on my part. For Sho, I was vacillating between choosing something based on the taste or on physical appearance. As you can see, I went with the latter. I liked the idea of using a dark beer--opaque, heavier, sweeter, perfect for my light vs. dark dichotomy.

My original plan was to have Iris order hard liquor or perhaps something like a liter beer, with the initial intent to have her 'prove herself'--that she was just as good as any man, that she shouldn't be looked down upon, that she could hold her own, something to that effect. But then I changed my mind, thinking that perhaps she should have a 'lady's drink', perhaps something like a Cosmopolitan or a Mimosa to lower Sho's defenses into thinking she was just an ojousama (little princess). But then, I remembered the Rolls Royce and thought, 'This is it! This is Iris' drink!' And it fits perfectly with the designer bag. Ahh, there are just so many things that can speak volumes about her character without her saying more than two words.

Ah well, the Sho-Iris sub section brought things to my head. I have the misfortune to say, "I'm a teetotaller" and have people assume that I mean I want tea and who in turn complain that there isn't tea at a bar/pub.

Rolls Royce manufactured by the Bentley company... That was my first thought, and then who can afford a Bentley... The rest flowed from there. But my guess is - the readers are like Sho. They won't pick up on this.
