(In our last installment, Daine has just gotten a new muse, Auroral, the
Andalite.)
Auroral: I'm so happy! My first chapter! Aren't you happy, Prince Daine?
(Daine is sitting on a stool, obviously stewing.)
Auroral: Prince Daine, what's wrong?
Tsubasa: You REALLY don't wanna know.
Auroral: 'Course I do! ^ ^
Daine: What's wrong with my system? Why are the readers so confused? I give three options for them to choose from, and they vote in the reviews. Why is that so hard to comprehend? I expect the readers to PAY ATTENTION TO THE CHOICES!!!! Instead, I get: 'Oh! Do the Drode!' or 'Do Tom!'. Were either of those two on the list? Nope! Arrrrgh! Peeps, I'll repeat myself at the end of the fic, but cast your vote for ONE OF THESE THREE: Tom, Visser One, or Elfangor. I won't do the Drode yet because this story is starting to have a minimal plot, which was Auroral's doing, I must admit. And the Drode has something to do with the plot.
Auroral: Thanks, Prince Daine (proceeds to hug Daine)
Tsubasa: Okay, I don't need to see this . . .
Daine: Um, Auroral, I can't breathe. But still, take a look at the addresses each time, cuz each character gets their own address, and I make sure to give them one. So look. Please. Oh, and if I get one flame over my rant earlier, I won't hold any grudges. But still- was it unclear somehow? But still, some of you voted for one of the choices (thank you) and others didn't. Did those peeps just not read the author's notes or something? Oh well.
Tsubasa: Have I ever mentioned that you're insane? Why don't you let the peeps vote for whomever they want?
Daine: Do you know what a pain it would be to tally those votes? Plus, now that there's a plot, I want to choose peeps that will move it along. Besides, I'm getting peeps saying that I should do all of them- well, of course I'm gonna do all of them I can. I AM NOT going to do Blue Bands, random Hork-Bajir, random controllers, Taylor, any other Chee, or anyone who hasn't been in the books long enough for me to get a good grip on their personality. Oh, and I got a few comments on how I overdid Visser Three. First of all, I told you it sucked, second of all, I was trying to make it funny. I'm glad I'm getting so many reviews, though, so thank you! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ My name is Toby Hamee. I am the seer of my people. Right now, I was filling out an e-mail from Tobias. It was risky of Erek to send it, but I understood the purpose. It was nice to share information like that, even if Marco was going to be hassled for his remarks. I dutifully filled it out.

Welcome to the next edition of getting to know your friends.... this one IS different.... What you're supposed to do is copy (not forward) this entire e-mail and paste it onto a new e-mail that you'll send. Change all of the answers so they apply to you.
Then, send this to a whole bunch of people you know**INCLUDING* the person who sent it to you. The theory is that you'll learn a lot of little known facts about your friends. It's fun and easy. You might be surprised with some of the things you learn about people you think you know....

4. FAVORITE PHYSICAL FEATURE OF THE OPPOSITE SEX?
. . . blades
5. WHAT'S THE LAST CD THAT YOU BOUGHT?

7. WHERE'S YOUR LEAST FAVORITE PLACE TO BE? I dislike what I've seen of the Yeerk pool so far . . .
8. FOR 1 MILLION DOLLARS, WOULD YOU MAKE OUT IN A BUG FIGHTER? . . . I do not understand. From your comments, I understand that it's very personal, so no.

Auroral: Yay! My first chapter!
Daine: (sitting in a corner, muttering)
Tsubasa: 0v0 I think she's lost it . . .
Auroral: Lost what?
Tsubasa: Her sanity.
Auroral: She was sane?
Tsubasa: Good point . . .
Daine: Shojo Kakumei Utena . . . Utena-sama . . . ken no dios . . . Himemiya . . . @.@
Auroral: What's she saying?
Tsubasa: Roughly translated: Girlish Revolution Utena, Miss Utena, Sword of Dios, Himemiya. I think she's in Utena withdrawal.
Auroral: Oh yeah, she lent her DVD's to her friend . . . So Utena's a character and Himemiya is too?
Tsubasa: Yep. Well folks, please vote for either Tom, Visser One or Elfangor. Bye!
Daine: Utena-sama . . . @.@
