OOCidentally.org: I wish I could make these words even smaller.

I'm glad your show scored well too! I liked it, and I know how nice it can be when something you see in your head and write about goes over as well as you have seen it.

 

As for your presentation: yes. It is a progression. So far, I like it very much. The match descriptions are short yet very vivid. The "interviews" are also short, and yet show who these people are wonderfully. And Yuu's post-its are marvelously funny and touching. I think you are doing very well. And I'm sure that will continue.

 

As for your writing and planning style, I am similar. I "like to be natural waves" as well. Unlike many, I really don't keep detailed notes of everything planned for many shows. Yes, I have made plans. And yes, I have jotted notes, but like Yuu in your story, they are my post-its so I don't forget them. ;)

But mostly, the story is all in my head. I write from my heart. And my dreams. And from those imaginary people who live in my heart and dreams, who whisper to me, and tell me where to take them. So I go there. And I simply write down what I see.

 

As for the logs. I, too, have experience with them. They will go away. It happens many, many times. And then what? The lightning comes. :cool:

 

So take your time, and do not hurry for us. We will be here, waiting for you.

 

I will keep my eyes. :)

*In the mind of Yuu, the lines had settled and faded back into the lines of the road back. It was Kinki. It was the outskirts of Osaka in a used park kept cool by industrial shadows. Even in the growing Spring, a new, light sweater was wrapped around her shoulders. Three pigeons had lost interest in her lack of food and had gone back to honest work as Yuu flicked the metal ring of a half full coffee can. They toy of an absent mind.*

 

"It really is Spring."

 

*Delayed seasonal observations, ask any head booker about the weather... they would not know anything in particular. She wondered is she was the only one, of course you could never ask a booker anything. They were lost behind the scenes or sitting on a bench in an empty park just trying to catch up with the very basic realities.*

 

*Her mobile phone rang several times. The only problem being it was back at her apartment... one of the few sins in Japan. But several years ago, Yuu had accidentally forgotten her phone and discovered, quite by accident as well, that she actually liked being out at any particular moment. She never looked back, even where the people connected to her looked at her with confusion. 'Yuu, it's 2010. No one is out anymore.' But Yuu would just smile and nod, showing that she understood completely what they were saying.*

 

*Little leaves. Little flowers. Little visions, if she closed her eyes just enough then Osaka would disappear and she would be in a park with vague edges. It was better that way. She had no love for Osaka. She no love its rough shell and jagged noises from cog souls. But it was alive and Yuu just had to deal with that. Voices entered the park, perhaps two or three as Yuu kept her head and eyes narrowed... down for the passing.*

 

*They would be staying in the region for the rest of the tour to secure their collective footings, holds and gains. It was a wise move on the Lizard Queen's part, but she had always been very wise and cold in her business dealings. What the Lizard Queen was missing was what Yuu possessed... what that exactly was, not even Yuu had named it yet. But she knew she was a commodity in the Lizard Queen's scheme of her things.*

 

"I am like seaweed."

 

*A very useful, lively thing indeed. But only in the sea. In the used world... she was food... fuel... and navigator for the Queen's machine.*

 

"Don't worry, follow me."

 

*She said to the hard salvage pigeons who paid her little mind as she stood up and walked the cracked path towards the rusted exit gate... flicking the metal ring to some internal beat.*

"It is not so much me asking you as it is me telling you, Yuu. You want to use me as a part of this experiment? Then I will be using you for the same purpose as well."

 

*The Lizard Queen always saw right through her layers of paper and things. When Yuu had requested that she think about returning to some sort of speaking role within the company? Kagawa-san had simply smiled and folded her hands. But now the Lizard Queen, whom Yuu could not read as clearly, was letting the full details be free. Much to Yuu's dismay.*

 

"I do not desire it. It is simply said, yes?"

 

*'It' was the small addition of an angle involving Yuu in the pre-show. A small addition not made by her hands, but by The Lizard Queen herself... the only authority higher than Yuu... much higher.*

 

"Again, it is not about your desires, Yuu. It is about what we have to do. You and I both know a huge wall is in our not so distant future. We are going to grow, and grow. We are going to make inroads in Tokyo and Hokkaido. We are going to hire more women. We are going to produce longer shows and then, one day"

 

*Yuu knew this story too well.*

 

"We stop the motion."

 

*Kagawa-san frowned slightly.*

 

"You are too soft in your choice of words. We die. We rot. We never move again until I fire you or you quit, again. Then we start this little act all over again. But not this time, Yuu. I told you before. Not. This. Time. You and I are not going to keep reliving the same day. We are going to change and you are going to add another face to that hidden collection of yours. For now, we will start out very slow. But we will start now."

Angel Takudome v Umeko Hotta

 

Huntress Makiko v Yori Toyoshima

 

Chiyeko Kita v Otsune Tsumura

 

Ginko Kuroda v Kiko Sakakibara

 

All Business v Ultimate Devastator Lemons

 

Dragon Assassin v Etsuko Arihyoshi v Gemmei Oonishi v Ikuko Temko

 

Chitose Ariwara v Fuyuko Higa

 

DEVIL Karube v Megumi Nakajima v Saori Nakadan v Shiori Jippensha

 

The picks seem straightforward, most look like squashes, except the tag match and the four ways, but the Devastator Lemons already beat All Business, and will do so again, and the challengers to Assassin don't look that strong.

 

I'd pick DEVIL for the four way, but unless you are planning another DEVIL-Yuma main show, its time to build the next challenger, and Nakadan has stuck out the most of the 3 others there. So I tab her for the win.

BOOM BOOM BEAT TOUR:

Tuesday, :Week 1, May

 

Angel Takudome v Umeko Hotta

Angel looks to me to have more of the momentum that Hotta, and that should not be wasted. Also, she needs a chance at redemption after last week...

 

Huntress Makiko v Yori Toyoshima

I am simply a mark for the Huntress. :)

But with Yori doing so well last week, she deserves to be kept on a roll.

Chiyeko Kita v Otsune Tsumura

Kita is being made to look the seasoned professional. A win would continue that.

 

Ginko Kuroda v Kiko Sakakibara

I am a mark for Kuroda as well; may be why I also feel she is the better wrestler of the two.

 

All Business v Ultimate Devastator Lemons

The Lemons need a win to maintain what momentum they got for their title win - too soon a defeat may take away too much.

 

Dragon Assassin v Etsuko Arihyoshi v Gemmei Oonishi v Ikuko Temko

Dragon is looking too dangerous. A loss would heighten suspense over her future. But who would win instead? Very hard for me to pick...

Temko.

 

Chitose Ariwara v Fuyuko Higa

Higa needs more training in humility...

 

 

DEVIL Karube v Megumi Nakajima v Saori Nakadan v Shiori Jippensha

So soon after her championship victory, would be a shame to see her defeated now.

Man, I miss one show, and I miss my Ultimate Devestator Lemons' official christening.

 

Angel Takudome v Umeko Hotta

I think Angel is still a young lion, and Hotta needs a win to stay credible

 

Huntress Makiko v Yori Toyoshima

Gogogo Huntress!

 

Chiyeko Kita v Otsune Tsumura

I spy a joshi rivalry with some of the other younger players.

 

Ginko Kuroda v Kiko Sakakibara

Ginko hasn't been doing well.

 

All Business v Ultimate Devastator Lemons

I will mark for these two forever.

 

Dragon Assassin v Etsuko Arihyoshi v Gemmei Oonishi v Ikuko Temko

She's the Assassin. Though one wonders how much longer she can be kept out of the main event scene.

 

Chitose Ariwara v Fuyuko Higa

Higa keeps going. Ariwara is not the one to stop her.

 

DEVIL Karube v Megumi Nakajima v Saori Nakadan v Shiori Jippensha

Another one where my favoritism clouds my reason.

Week 1, May 2010

 

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj188/Ippotamus/TEW/EX2010.jpg

New promosion, EXODUS 2010, opens its doors.

Promising a fast-paced product driven by interesting characters, the owner Kuemon Hotta dubbed his style 'Explosive Action'. "The Japanese scene has become old, dated and out of pace with today's audience. We are commited to turning everything inside out before we are even started."

 

*Yuu's cell phone began to vibrate across the tatami floor of her bedroom at a very unreasonable and quite horrific hour... waking her from dreams of faces standing in line for something she would now never know as the fog of sleep blew from her mind and welcomed in a muffled and dry reality.*

 

"Oooommmmnnnfh"

 

*Her internal compass flipped several times before finding North. Her cell phone had stopped only to start its dance again 5 seconds later... at the same time an email received as her cell phone threatened to explode and leave her completely. Something was very wrong as messages from The Lizard Queen, Kit and several others began to stack one upon the other until her meager voice memory was full... again her cell began to dance when she finally found her morning voice."

 

"Mo, what? What!?"

 

"Yuu! Where have you been!? You need to get down here, now!"

 

"... eh?.."

 

"Don't you know? Get on the news line Yuu and get down here. Kagawa-san is storm. Get down here!"

 

*Yuu was already half in a pair of black slacks when Kit hung up. She through on the first jacket she found over her pajama top and headed for the front. Trying to get the news from the 25 emails in her in-box as she grabbed a cup of yogurt to go. A cup of yogurt she promptly dropped as she found the core.*

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj188/Ippotamus/TEWTalkingHeads/TalkingSensational.jpg

Sensational Ogiwara becomes new head booker of EXODUS 2010!

In news that is sure to rock 5SSW as the sun rises in the morning. Sensational Ogiwara today became the new head booker of EXODUS 2010, and promised to make her mark on the promotion.

"This is an exciting new chapter in Japanese Puroresu and I am thrilled to be on the first page with Mr. Hotta. We promise to give you something very new and exciting."

Questions shot at her about 5SSW were deflected and ignored as she stepped away from the podium with a smile. We hope to have more information as the day develops.

 

*The day had developed more than enough as far as Yuu was concerned. She truly was not one for the over or dramatic feelings of tears or foolish and young the love. But a flash of the molten anger? It made her skin warm to the touch as the one thousand implications danced with her paranoia. Had that been Ogiwara-san's true desire all along? Had she come here for Yuu's position from the start?*

 

"Was it the start, Kit?"

 

*Kit, her one friend. She had brought Ogiwara-san in and back from gone. Yuu could not help but flash on the impossible light that she was somehow also in the knowing and involved. Yuu was once again the outsider in the Joshi family. It did not matter how long she did the working of lines... she would never be one of them. It was never and her mind turned as the phone received signals again. Yuu grabbed her keys with a talon swipe from the counter... the door pulled with force behind her as she headed to 5SSW... the news? It continued on.*

A good show for my feeling, I think. I like the addition of angles and talking. It gave me more of a deepness feeling. The Higa match was tricky to you, yes? She did not complain. But she has no happy place. I like the idea of Otsune/Kita feud too.

<p>Oh dear.</p><p> </p><p>

Well, Kit's not incapable of being the sole role agent, but there is one of the Magic Three that is likely still not working...</p><p> </p><p>

And possibly Elemental-san, or Toshusai-san, for that matter...</p><p> </p><p>

A gift for Yuu, at a time where she quite possibly needs one... :p

 

My skills are meager and my tools inadequate, but I hope you like these...

*Yuu could feel the after effects of the obvious emotional detonation. It hit in her nauseating waves as she pushed the large warehouse style doors open on the 5SSW dojo and walked inside. To the naked eye of the uninvolved, it would appear not a thing had changed. But to the more sensitive eyes of Yuu, the colors seemed garish and askew as she turned towards the office... voices were at least muffled. She had missed to wall of the storm as she walked inside and closed the door behind here.*

 

*The first face she saw was Sensational Ogiwara, standing as if she were the last tree after a typhoon... unaware, unphased and strong. She looked directly at Yuu... and it was Yuu who looked away as a flash of heat washed over her face. But Yuu was no warrior, her life was not of adversity... she did not know what to do with it all. She passed by Kit, who looked like she was sea sick and spent. Yuu did not find her eyes either as she sat down at her desk across from the Lizard Queen, Kagawa-san. Her eyes, she did meet and they were very much alive and now locked on Yuu. She could feel everyone looking at her... she was in the middle having done nothing at all. She shifted uncomfortably in her chair, but managed to keep her eyes on Kagawa-san and convey the simple message, 'What do you want from me? Words??'*

 

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj188/Ippotamus/TEWnews/SakurakoKagawa.jpg

"You two. Get out of here. Now."

 

*Kit tried to catch Yuu's eyes on her slow retreat out of the office. But Yuu paid no mind a curtain falling thick and wool over her heart. She was embarrassed. She was angry and she was hurt... none of which were particularly useful to anyone .There had been much damage done today it seemed as the door closed... leaving Kagawa and Yuu alone. It was only then that Kagawa fell back in her chair, just as equally spent as anyone else had been. She took off her glasses, and pinched the bridge of her nose with her fingers... eyes closed.*

 

"What do you want to do, Yuu?"

 

*Yuu's face wrinkled in slight confusion. She did not have the whole story. She did not know what was happening in a full frame.*

 

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj188/Ippotamus/TEWnews/YuuOnuki.jpg

"I do not think I am in a position, yes? What is happening?"

 

*The Lizard Queen kept her eyes close.*

 

"You are in the position, Yuu. You are my right hand. Kit is your right hand and the soul of 5SSW has just turned into its shadow and rammed a knife into our back. So I repeat myself, what do you want to do?"

 

*Yuu sat in silence for a minute and then two... the sounds of the room amplified to an annoying degree.*

 

"I can not answer, until I know... why is Ogiwara-san here and now?"

 

*Again Kagawa-san kept her eyes close as she responded.*

 

"Ogiwara is here because Ogiwara thinks she can do both. She thinks it is not a problem, which of course is insane and speaks to every wrestler's ego. Her contract with us and them is PPA. She is contractually..."

 

"a traitor and a manipulator."

 

*Yuu said quite flatly before continuing.*

 

"She is also still the soul of breath in this company. We cannot do the changing of that face, yes? She is an incredible mind of wrestling and"

 

"And she wants your job, Yuu."

 

*The silence came back, as the heat washed her face again. Her eyes had dried to seeds... dark lines circled to protect as Yuu considered her next words carefully.*

 

"You would be foolish not to consider it."

 

*Kagawa-san opened her eyes on Yuu.*

 

"I did just that, Yuu. Do not make me give you the right hand speech again. I just did it 5 minutes ago and I've done all the reassuring of you that I care to today. What. Do. You. Want. To. Do?"

 

*Crawl back into bed and hide came to mind. Crawl back to the station and live again, also did. But instead, Yuu answered the question as best she could.*

 

"Keep her, and replace her at the same time... as we grow... we make her choose or we do choose. It does not matter which side does the choice as long as it is made, yes? Then we move again, the same can be said for Kit... it should be I think."

 

*Kagawa-san studied Yuu, her quirky right hand who had her own ice river running near her heart in Spring.*

 

"I don't think she knew anything about it, Yuu. She's your friend."

 

"Yes, I think so too Kagawa-san. But you cannot think that way... only I can. If I am the fool it costs me... if you are the fool for me? It costs everyone here. It is too much to pay."

 

*Kagawa-san shook her head for belief before putting her glasses back on. It had been a very, very trying day. Her voice shifted to cutting ice again as she stated a simple fact.*

 

"I plan to make life as difficult as I can for Exodus 2010."

 

*Yuu was tired too, if not more so. While she could be zero emotion, it was simply because everything just shut down in self defense. She forced a knowing smile back to the woman she both knew too well and not at all.*

 

"That is a given, Kagawa-san. It may be the only good to come from this."

 

*So it was decided to let Ogiwara-san continue on in her role as road agent while she filled her desire to book at Exodus 2010. Yuu would begin to search for a third road agent in the name of "growth" while Kagawa-san would keep her eyes open for any small way to hurt Exodus 2010. It seems to have been forgotten just how ruthless the Lizard Queen could be when prompted. That was the business side of reaction... the personal remained buried and isolated as she avoided the two road agents with space and cool.*

<p>*Yuu had placed a copy of the poster and full card in the center of the practice ring. It was an unusual occurrence that was noted and listed by the wrestlers of 5SSW. An uneasy and unnerving layer had fallen over the building in the 2 days following the <em>'Ogiwara Incident'</em>... an equally un-like resumption of work had gone on as well.*</p><p> </p><p>

*In a company that was more like family than most it would seem... sides had been drawn and in the war of things that were numbers? Ogiwara-san had won without saying a single word, leaving Yuu more isolated than was usual... though the difference between the two was hard to measure... small. Many of the workers were exactly the same as Ogiwara. They held the same contracts and they would work for as many companies as would have them... it was called living. Then there was the fact that Sensational Ogiwara was a National legend of Joshi Puroresu... that list was very small indeed. She was a Goddess... it was plain and it was simple... that was what Yuu was in comparison.*</p><p> </p><p>

*Less than a handful sided with Yuu... but they were some strong names who had been around long enough to see Yuu work every little job there was to be done... she worked their contracts over noodles... always listened carefully to each word... and always paid the bill if a deal was made or not. 'The Magic Three' had made the Golden Age of Joshi... but as it fell and crumbled, it was Yuu who scrambled to put something in its place as best she could: Saori Nakadan, DEVIL Karube and Umeko Hotta had all made their choices clear... Ogiwara-san may not have been wrong to do what she did... but the way which she had chosen? They would have none of that.*</p><p> </p><p>

*That left Kit to pick-up the poster from the center of the ring... still unable to communicate with her friend Yuu... Yuu who had cut the signals dead... so Kit put the poster for May, Week 2 on the wrestler's board and began to get to work as she waited for time... mend.*</p><p> </p><p>

<em>This is risky and hard to call. If it was anyone else but DEVIL partnered with Higa, then I see the UDL going over hands down, but I just dont see your champion and your most talented prospect losing, even to the wave of momentum that UDL have. So Devil wins or its a draw.</em></p>

Doshisha Athletic Center

Attendace: 674

 

(Pre-Show) Umeko Hotta defeated Angel Takudome and Yori Toyoshima.

-44-

 

*** Buffering --------- ***

 

*The internet stream begins with the internet darlings, Ultimate Devastator Lemons, standing in front of the Lizard Queen. Rei is her usual animated self, holding her tag team title on her shoulder. HEART stands just behind her, arms folded across her chest.*

 

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj188/Ippotamus/TEWTalkingHeads/TalkingRei.jpg

"So HEART and I were thinking, right HEART? Seek & Destroy, we put them outside like rain cats. All Business, they are totally on a self discovery trip and lost after three seconds. The Rainbow Girls can have it any time they want. So that leaves us with?"

 

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj188/Ippotamus/TEWnews/SakurakoKagawa.jpg

"With?"

 

"Exactly! Right! I told you she would get it. So we aren't going down like everyone else. We are the tag team champions. We can only go up. So we were talking and really the only thing to do is ask you for a match."

 

"Against who?"

 

*Before Rei could answer, HEART Saitoh answered without hesitation.*

 

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj188/Ippotamus/TEWTalkingHeads/TalkingHEART.jpg

"Fuyuko Higa and the World Champion, DEVIL Karube."

 

*Rei looked behind her in shock then looked back to the Lizard Queen.*

 

"No. You see, HEART was just joking. Who we really..."

 

"I think that's a wonderful idea. You two are on quite a roll. What better way to test its strength than against the World Champion and the Young Lion. Ultimate Devastator Lemons? You've got your match."

 

*The Lizard Queen walks away with a smile as Rei is left holding the air she breathed. She turned back to HEART, who looked at her in return.*

 

"Now you talk? Now??"

 

-45-

 

*Now indeed, as the show gets under way.*

 

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj188/Ippotamus/TEWresults/ResultsMayWeek2Match1.jpg

 

*For the first time on the internet feed, Yuu Onuki is shown... it is the back of her head and jet black hair as she stands at a window looking out. Her face remains unsees as she does not even turn around for the approaching Chiyeko Kita. But she does make a tired voice instead.*

 

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj188/Ippotamus/TEWTalkingHeads/TalkingYuu.jpg

"Yes, Kita-san?"

 

*Chiyeko Kita bows her head slightly before continuing.*

 

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj188/Ippotamus/TEWTalkingHeads/TalkingChiyeko.jpg

"I would like to have a fight with meaning, tonight. I want to make the choice for once. I am tired of flowing nowhere every week."

 

*Yuu did not look back, the dark lines under her eyes catching the slightest light.*

 

"Why come to me, Kita-san? Why no the Lizard Queen herself, yes? This is her Queendom after all... in all of its glory, no?"

 

*Yuu's voice dripped with the insincere as Kita-san shook her head slowly.*

 

"No. She only cares about her entertainment. She only cares about the now. I think you care about our tradition and you care about our future... so I am asking you. You have the power to do this, just as her."

 

"Just as her?"

 

*Yuu kept her gaze out the window in silent thoughts and for the first time looked ever so slightly over her shoulder.*

 

"Say the name, Kita-san."

 

*Kita squared her shoulders a little and spoke clearly.*

 

"Yuma Maruya, the ex-world champion."

 

*A sliver of a smile took to the corner of Yuu's lips... an ambitious name on anyone's lips... let alone the young Kita's.*

 

"You are hungry, yes?"

 

*Yuu looked back to the window.*

 

"Then you shall eat."

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj188/Ippotamus/TEWresults/ResultsMayWeek2Match3.jpg

 

*Yuma's standard post-match interview is cut by raised voices somewhere down the short hallway. The camera quickly finds the source as Megumi Nakajima is looking quite incredulously at the young lion, Gemmei.*

 

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj188/Ippotamus/TEWTalkingHeads/TalkingMegumiNakajima.jpg

"When are you going to wake up? The fans aren't going to help you and this whole girl-next-door act? It's pathetic. Have some respect for yourself why don't you?"

 

*Megumi had been a fan favorite for most of her career... even the young Gemmei had been a fan. But those days seemed long ago for one so young as she.*

 

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj188/Ippotamus/TEWTalkingHeads/TalkingGemmeiOonishi.jpg

"What happened to you, Nakajima-an? Who hurt you so much that you act like this? The fans did nothing but support you so I think it must be someone closer than that."

 

*Megumi's face twisted with bitter.*

 

"Who do you think you're talking to? I'm not one of your girlfriends. I think it's about time I beat some respect into you."

 

*Standing in the entrance, The Lizard Queen stood with arms folded... that cold, blue smile on her lips.*

 

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj188/Ippotamus/TEWnews/SakurakoKagawa.jpg

"I think it's about time too, Megumi. So why don't you two get out to the ring and settle it there. I'm sure the Children would love to see who respects who in the end."

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj188/Ippotamus/TEWresults/ResultsMayWeek2Match7.jpg

 

*Just as Ultimate Devastator Lemons are about to deliver the standard post match interview... they are blindsided by an enraged 5 Star World Champion. The camera jolted, only the sounds and flashes of violence are captured until silence and equilibrium is restored. The camera finds only DEVIL standing now, UDL are nowhere in the frame.*

 

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj188/Ippotamus/TEWTalkingHeads/TalkingDevil-1.jpg

"Saori! You just made another mistake and that's the last one you make with me. Next week. 3 vs 3. Let's see exactly where you stand and with who."

 

*The stream goes dark with exactly that face and those words as its end.*

Saeko Hiroyuki officially retired.

Wednesday, Week 2, May 2010

 

 

She was one of the few to have broken the Ogiwara/Ichihara/Hike domination of 5 Start Supreme Wrestling during the Golden Era. The former world and tag team champion hung up her boots for good. "I built my career on being a high flyer. But at 39 years old my body can't take the impact anymore without destroying any good memories I may have made. It's time."

 

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj188/Ippotamus/TEWTalkingHeads/TalkingYumaMaruya.jpg

Yuma Maruya appears on local TV Show

Saturday, Week 2, May 2010

 

The former world champion was seen on a B-list celebrity cooking show that featured 10 exciting eel recipes on a B-budget. While preparing 'Eel in a Blanket and Hat' she talked a little about Rei Chikamatsu. "She's so funny, I mean I couldn't imagine the road without her. She is our little Sparkly maker really."

Tuesday, Week 1, May 2010

 

Dragonmack: 5/7

Sudo Nym: 5/7

Wallbanger: 4/7

OOCarousel: Arigatou and thank you to the Banger of the Walls for the alternates banner and logo designs used in the full card display, yes? They are great!

 

I too fear 'Fujin's Amazing Lemon Press'. It sounds very tricky.

 

Week 2 is always a strange animal for me to look at... is it a zebra? Too many stripes? I am enjoying Chitose's run of luck. It surprises me. Saori and DEVIL building strong castles. A tough and disappointing week for tag teams, yes? I must find the anti-lemons!

 

If Sakura Kagawa is the Lizard Queen... then what is Yuu? So far I am enjoying the angles addition.

 

Behind the paper doors and strings, week 3 is the last of the small archive I did build. I am happy to be done with that experiment. Free roaming is better for me, I am like chicken.

 

Thank you for all your support, eyes and great comments again.
