I somehow feel like by reading this, I've gained a little more understanding of the play, if that makes any sense. *_* Just a little more insight into their relationship, I guess, and into how they play off of each other... <3 This was really nice though--subtle, yet...very very nice. And sexy. *nod* ^______^

Makes me realize too just how unique this play is for them. We've never really had the opportunity to write things like this, you know? Aru Hi was kind of...too out there, or too surreal, or something? Didn't invite fic the way this seems to, in any case. And that is a very very good thing, I think. 8D

I still feel bad for just...throwing this out there and asking people to understand and appreciate it when I haven't even written up a proper report yet, so lots of little details are probably just going over most people's heads _o_ And that's my own fault.

But...I definitely am glad it was still enjoyable :DDDD and I totally agree--we haven't had this type of world to play in before. GP was always GP, Gin/Hitsugaya just wasn't the same, and Aru Hi...you just couldn't do too much with such a mind-bending play, yanno? But Nataraja and Pasupata are completely their own, in an actual plot-filled play and...I really really like that *____* Like, I would've shipped them no matter WHO played them, I think, but...somehow I think certain elements of the characterization were, as Nagayan put it, "On purpose" XD

Don't feel bad! I mean, even with a full report, there are still some things that we won't get until we see the DVD (and even then, there's always a ton of stuff lost from the live performance ;__;) but I think it's okay. At least from my perspective, what I've heard about these characters makes them seem so interesting--it's worth a little confusion to be able to read about them like this :D

I totally agree. GP and Gin/Hitsu were slashable in their own way, but they were less them, so slashing the characters doesn't serve the same purpose, I guess? This is just...more fun. :D :D

Oh man, oh man, oh man... I'm... torn here between not knowing if I am actually seeing a bit of Tuti and Nagayan in these characters, or is this just how the characters should be/act, or a little bit of both (which I'm leaning towards) because of how unique these characters are for Tuti and Nagayan to have portray. Gah

Weeeellll if it HELPS, I like to think I wrote them ABOUT as close to 'canon' as possible but...probably like you said, a little of both XD

They really were just SO much like each other, it made their interactions all the more interesting because it was like seeing little caricatures of the guys interacting *___* Maybe that's what made writing them like this easier?

But then, I LOVE writing little things with the characters in *pnish* plays XD

I really hope that we get lots of good backstage/extra stuff *___*

This was so good!

Nice fic! The only thing is that the out castes are ppl who deal with deaths such as ppl who kill pigs, fishes and stuff. They stay in different places from everyone else and acctually all castes stay among their own caste. The out castes are the phystriyas (I hope it was spelt correctly). Th lowest is the shudras which contain field labourers and craftsmen. The second lowest consists of traders farmers and landowners and is known as the vaishyas. It is then followed by the kshatriyas and Brahmins which consists of warriors, rulers and priest, scholars, teachers respectively.
Hehe... I think I just blabbed a bunh of useless stuff.... Well...this is what I remeber from my history lessons...I hope it'll come in usefull or smething. XD

(are you Indian?? If so, I could have really used you for detail nitpicking XD;)

I actually asked about some of this to get it clarified on little_details, but for some reason they haven't approved posts in days o_O This is bad, because many NNWM writers rely on it for help with getting facts straight...

Anyways, I did do SOME research into the caste system, and figured while Nataraja probably wouldn't be untouchable (since like you said, it's only for people who deal with the dead and waste and stuff), he definitely wouldn't be a kshatriya like Pasupata (...right?).

IS there a caste he would've been in, if his family didn't really have a trade? Since he just kind of lived on the streets, stealing and robbing people, it doesn't seem like he'd fit nicely into any normal caste sooooo :/ I guess someone in his family SOMEWHERE was probably a farmer or something, I dunno XD;

Haha XD... I'm not Indian...i'm Chinese...some of my friends are Indian though...we just learn china India and south east asias history.
My teach said that the lowest mainly contained of those who sold services while the second lowest consisted of those who traded...conclusion: I have no idea. It depends on his parents.
Sorry if it didn't really help ^_^;
