A/N: There is a good reason for the slow update. I've had to play several hours of Golden Sun before I could get enough stuff for an update. Also, I'd like to apologise for the extra long muse skit. I got asked for more Ringwraith action, so I started to give them some, and then they just wouldn't stop! Here are the reviews! Whoa, there are over a page of them! ^___^ Actually, the review responses are longer than the muse skit!
&&&
Azusasan -- Unfortunately for me, it did happen, and some of my reviewers are vengeful. Well, the person who thinks that Alex is her type is female, but she seems to be not only quite elderly, but she's married with kids (and grandkids)!
Midnight C -- I know the feeling. My muses scare me. Having things like Weyard Weekly in Golden Sun would be extremely amusing, I agree!
??!!??!! -- Well, much of it comes from Age of Empires II, some from my knowledge of medieval history, and the rest I made up.
Jupiter Ronin -- Trust me, you don't want muses like these. Some are harmless, but some...
Wilhelmina: *gets offended* *draws longsword and mallet* *advances threateningly*
Yoshimi: Eep!
Maxor -- I've been scared off bodyguards after my muses attempted to guard me last chapter.
EchoKazul -- Yes, now I can be slow with my updates for no reason whatsoever!
Phil: As for your sugar question, let's test that out!
Yoshimi: No! Don't!
Wilhelmina: Don't come a step closer!
Yoshimi: *stops*
Richard: Here you are, Joe, pure sugar!
Joe: ^_^ FWEE! ^_^ *grabs sugar* *eats quickly* ^_^ ^_^
*several hours later*
Tom: More sugar!
Joe: ^_^^_^_^^_^^_^_^_^_^_^_^ FWEEFWEEFWEFWFFFFWEEEEE! *suddenly takes off like a rocket, straight up* *flies through roof* *continues into outer space* FWEEEeee... *fades into distance*
Yoshimi: Well, it appears that they can only eat about...*looks at piles of empty bags of sugar* 2000 kilograms!!!
Phil: Before they take off like rockets.
Joe: *in orbit* FWEEFWEEFWEEFWEEFWEEEEEEEE! ^_^_^_^_^_^
Triad Orion -- A B-2 what? I guess I'll find out...I hope that this update is worth the wait, too.
Akachi -- A sugar-high Agatio? 0_o; That would probably be worse than Joe, because Agatio would be more likely to damage something accidentally!
AmbieChan -- Thank you! Not many people want Joe to come over.
Super Sheba -- Improvising... Maybe they'll be able to argue their way out of jail with that one. Thanks for pointing out the "underwear incident" from your profile. Hey, Isaac was involved in an "underwear incident" in Weyard Weekly. Isaac seems to get involved in a lot of those...
SilverSkye27 -- Well, I kind of put one of my reviewers, Shiro Amayagi, in a guest appearance, and then he wouldn't leave! He always says "Booyaka, comrade [insert name here]." If by the "great blackout of 2003" you mean that blackout I heard about in North America, I was in another country. Actually, I was in another continent! I'm from the United Kingdom.
Akiko (x2) -- Thank you!
Vyctori -- Hey, you guys attacked first! I was just defending myself! Or, really, my muses were defending themselves. I thought you might like that one, due to your Alex and Babi hating. Angst? What's that? The later muse skits will hopefully be a little shorter than the update. And, for your threat...*gulps*
Shiro Amayagi -- Thank you for the good idea! I'll try to put it into action.
Taiga -- Well, I think the Angry Rabble's going to find my weak spot this time...uh, oh...
Griffinkhan -- Thanks for keeping your muse under control. I've decided to restrain myself with the muse skits here, but they're still pretty long. I guess that comes of having nine muses vying for attention, not to mention guest appearances. Wait, I guess that was mentioning guest appearances. And this time I rushed to Suhulla.
Veilius -- Don't worry, if you can keep your muses under control, that would be better than I could do. With the last letter, the Stricken group ran off quickly, leaving the half-finished letter behind, and Isaac's group found it and mailed it. I think that they may have carrier pigeons or something. Maybe they do have owl post...
deku -- Thanks for the compliments!
impossibly dead ka -- I try not to name the Angry Reviewers in case some are insulted by my portrayal of them, or are insulted because I forgot to put them in. Weyard Weekly's staff is in Weyard. Well, Veilius's muses are both assassins, so I'd say that they're worse than at least some of my muses. A reviewer with a muse...interesting.
White_Mage -- Babi isn't too popular, is he? I wonder why no one tried to assassinate him before?
Bubonic Woodchuck -- Lovely...A lot of my reviewers are threatening me this time...I guess it was because my muses attacked them.
Destinyofthepast -- ^_^ Thank you!

Yoshimi: After last time, my muses have been busy.
*Yoshimi's house now looks more like a medieval castle. A couple of Ringwraiths are patrolling the turrets. Several catapults are around*
Yoshimi: So I feel pretty safe. Here's the update.
***
Sneak Thief To Political Coup LeaderLUNPA- Today, we received news of [name censored], the sneak thief. Recently, he was able to leave Tolbi's jail because Babi's representative, Iodem, paid for bail.
Somehow, the four thieves were able to enter Dodonpa's residence. Showing no sign of professional courtesy, they were able to lock up the leader of Lunpa, to the joy of the townsfolk. They were hailed as heroes. Ha, that's a laugh. [name censored]'s group, heroes! HA, HA, HA!
Anyway, we at Weyard Weekly are keeping an eye on them.
Political Coup LeaderTo Peeping TomLUNPA- Again today, we received news of [name censored], the political coup leader. It appears we were right to doubt Lunpa's "heroes."
As some of you may recall, [name censored] and his associates stole the Cloak Ball. Using its powers to hide in the shadows, [name censored] has become a peeping tom and eavesdropper. Police in Lunpa...well, thieves in Lunpa...cornered him and his contacts, but they melted into the shadows with one sinister last message.
"The Shadow Knows..."
Environmentalists Converge in SuhullaSUHULLA- Today, environmentalists came to Suhulla to complain about the recent travellers disturbing the natural habitat of the Tornado Lizards.
"The travellers are destroying the whirlwinds that are the natural defence of the Tornado Lizards," a spokesperson of the environmentalists said. "Some are even hunting them out of season!"
"The Tornado Lizards are a threat to the populace of Suhulla," the mayor of Suhulla responded. "I, for one, will be glad to see them gone. Don't you call them an endangered species to me! They are more an endangering species towards humans!"
The court case for a reserve for the Tornado Lizards (and the declaration of them as an endangered species) is ongoing.
Agony Aunt: Auntie DoraDear Auntie Dora,
I was just hanging around Vale's entrance when Isaac made a visit to Vale. He's GORGEOUS! Why didn't I notice that before! I think I'm in love...What should I do?
From,
Love Stricken from Vale
Dear Love Stricken from Vale (where have I heard this before?),
I have some very good advice. KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF MY SON!
Cheers!
--Auntie Dora
P.S. You're the fourth Love Stricken person. The other three are in love with Mia. Wouldn't it be funny if Isaac and Mia fell in love with each other? Ho, ho, ho. I wonder why the newspaper's owner's looking at me strangely?
Dear Auntie Dora,
I dropped our last letter. I wonder how you got it? Well, anyway, we've gone to Tolbi, but we've lost Mia's trail. Comrade of Booyakas from Internet Limbo says they either travelled to Gondowan or went back across the Karagol Sea. Do you know?
From,
Your Penpals
Dear Penpals,
It appears that Isaac's group came along and found your letter already addressed. They appear to have crossed the Karagol, since they showed up on my doorstep with the letter. I had to pretend that I was sick so that they wouldn't notice the letters and contract from Weyard Weekly under the blanket. Oh well. However, I know that they'll be back, so just prepare for them.
--Auntie Dora
ClassifiedADVERTISEMENT - Babi has announced the publishing of his autobiography, This Is The Life That Never Ends, with an included theme song, with the same title as the book. The editors subtitled it as The Ponderings of a Crazy.
NOTICE - Asylum Breakout! Be on the lookout for someone named Alex, who escaped from the insane asylum where Babi and this fugitive had been sent recently. The escapee is a...actually, we aren't sure whether the person's male or female. Long aqua hair (exquisitely cared for), aqua eyes, has a tendency to teleport absent-mindedly. If found, return to Tolbi Insane Asylum.
MISSING - One Child of the Gods. Hails from Lalivero. Extremely round head of blonde hair. Actually rather freakily round, to tell the truth. We don't know whether she has green eyes or violet eyes. If found, report to both Tolbi's guards and the Tolbi Hair Salon (they want to know how she keeps her hair so smooth).
ADVERTISEMENT- Master Hammet's Memory Class. First Class is somewhere...I forget...at sometime...soon...or maybe later...Topic: Dates and Places.
