Temple of Ranma's Sailor Senshi Seifuku

39 I don't warm them warm or warn? As for 40 and 41, I confess that I may well have missed many details. Some of this may be pacing and organization. Mostly, my meager analytical abilities were choking on the big picture. Essentially, this can be distilled into three areas. Does the story satisfy? F...

34 “Well...” Ranma frowned. “To clean it... I don't know much about guns, but even I had heard you have to disassemble and clean them each time after you shoot, otherwise the mechanism mucks up with soot.” Depends on the gun, and on the propellant. My understanding is that for modern revolvers, afte...

It seems alive! Well, Merlin wasn't that evil. He was more obnoxious than anything else. I was speaking of the guy who called up two Sabers, then ended up with Caster. Wow, now I want to meet this guy. I sent you an email with my best answer to this. I can agree with that, though 90% of the time, th...

The thing with the maid at the hotel feels video gamish, and amuses me.

I'm still trying to keep up with this, I've had what is reasonably close to 'Real life eating my brain'.

One thing I thought to mention here is more on loaders. There are often more specific names for someone doing something like loading and unloading cargo. I think Longshoremen, for example, are people who do that on docks loading and unloading ships. I had a conversation last summer about different n...

It is fairly plausible, given Nasu Merlin, that it was more about toying with Saber in the presence of her half sister than about her pretending to be a man. That said, I do forget if it is a half sister the way it was in some of the source material. I would take this opportunity to finally respond ...

Recently remembered another one of my favorite Latin quotes that is used as a phrase in English. During the suppression of the Cathars, a churchman gave a certain certain command and explanation. The command, which I recall and can translate, was caedete eos, kill them. The other bit was something I...

English is supposed to be an extreme case. I was using a simplified version of the saying about following into alleys, hitting on the head, and riffling pockets. This may have been an error on my part. English is said to have started as the fusion of the Germanic tongue spoken by the Angles, the Sax...

Actually, in English usage, there are lots of sayings borrowed from the Romans that are used mainly in English translation. One thing that confuses matters is that English is a language that robs other languages. For example, circus is a word in both English and Latin, but the common understandings ...

For some reason I'm reminded of Exalted.

Anyway, I've found time to read and enjoy this.

I couldn't find much to Orphus.

Two thoughts. One, the liver might've given the monsterrabbit some level of system access.

Two, Narcosis is a new word for me. I've been learning new words in general from this story. Anyway, in a medical context I usually see the word anesthesia being used.

I'll be looking into it soon. Dunno when I'll hit Orphus.

It's somewhat worse, in fact. What done her in was her subconscious trust in the machine. During normal operation it should have waited switching until she pulled out of the portal plane. Maybe cutting off some of her clothing or footwear. While Ranma was distrustful of everything. He remembers tha...

If being a zombie or resurrection involves enough wiggling, then minimizing the gap for a few areas might make things a bit easier and less messy. Some strength, not all of it. Certainly not enough for running and jumping and stuff, just enough to lie flat on the ground without the two halves going ...

The chapter worked for me. I found that there was enough foreshadowing for her getting herself killed with a stupid error. First time I read it, I found that Ranma's ball of angst was confusing for me to read, and I think I skipped some. That may have been me reading while in poor condition, because...
