A/N: Now it's for The Lost Age! Not all of the stuff that should have got into this, did. I knew I should have made fun of the "The thingie...that makes it go..." but the only thing I could think of totally freaked me out. "Saturos's Thingie That Makes Menardi Go"...0_o;;;;;;;;;;;
Charlie: Yoshimi, why are you under your writing desk?
Yoshimi: *sweatdrop* I haven't updated in almost twenty days! The Angry Rabble will be here any minute!
Charlie: *crawling under* Move over.
Yoshimi: Note to readers. I put some of the reviewers in a certain section of the newspaper. Don't be offended by what I put, or if I didn't get to you. If you don't like it, then just tell me. If you want another letter answering, then also tell me.
Wilhelmina: Pigs might fly!
Yoshimi: Remember the reaction to bit-parts in A Mudshipper's Romeo and Juliet?
Phil: How could we? You've been ignoring this fic while updating that other fanfiction!
Yoshimi: *sweatdrop*
One quick apology: I apologise for keeping that flamer's post up so long, but I was reporting the flamer to abuse@fanfiction.net, and I wanted an example of that particular type of post.
On a better note, here are the reviews!
&&&
Midnight C -- Maybe not... Hmm, thanks for the idea about the grave robbing. ^_^ Alex is not going to get a very good reputation...Yes, the Mercury Horoscope was for Picard.
Daito Dei Gratia -- 0_o; Wow. It looks like you really hate flamers. It appears that the flamer has finally either given up, or Fanfiction.net did something about it. Thanks for the help with the money and stuff!
Griffinkhan -- Don't worry, I updated extra quickly, because I wanted to allow Vyctori time to put something about her muse killing the Witch King of Angmar in her muse skits. I refrain from commenting about Sheba's love life, in case she does something small like kill me. Weapons-grade plutonium?! 0_o;;;; I think I'll just go and flee the country now...
Shiro Amayagi -- I don't pity the WKA, LN, but, then again, he tried to kill me, so I'm not the most enamoured with him... I updated quickly, so don't worry. Good luck at the beach!
Wolfy129 -- ^_^ Thanks a lot!
Akachi -- For the reward, you have to first return it. And, yes, that was Lighthouseshipping, because that's what I support, and Vyctori would set her muse on me if I did any other coupling with Felix or Sheba, anyway...
Katsu Solaris and Lunaris -- So far, only Vyctori is getting spam too, but I've got some fourteen or more flames so far. Young things, aren't you? I'm 4752! Or is it 4753? Drat, I've lost count! Your muse has a crush on you? Since mine are Ringwraiths...Urg! *shivers in horror from the very thought of it*
EchoKazul -- I think whoever it may have gotten something of a life. It's been a while since any flaming. Thanks for the compliments! It appears that horoscope section's going to be popular!
MecuryAdept -- ^_^ Thanks!
Taiga -- Don't worry, I did two updates in quick succession. I liked writing the Idejima thing myself, personally.
Maxor -- You're always so full of ideas! It makes my job easier.
Super Sheba -- Well, I'm hoping you mean between chapters 9 and 10. I didn't take very long at all to upload chapter 11! Isaac in a pink party hat? When was this?
Bubonic Woodchuck -- Horoscopes are definitely staying after what I heard from my reviewers today! I, personally, wasn't so thrilled at the destruction, but it was my house...
Vyctori -- *sweatdrop* I never knew that Menardi would take my offer up on killing my muse of tragedy. Probably I should start training a new muse of tragedy. No suggestions, please! I've got several ideas already. Well, it made it easier to name it something. Another thing for Alex and the Golden Sun could be that the electric company says that he hasn't been keeping up with his payments, so they're cutting him off. Horoscopes sure are popular. AAAAH! You're threat is scaring me! 0_o;!!!
Cowpuppyo -- I'm writing, I'm writing!
Triad Orion -- Very ironic. Lovely. More weapons I don't know about. I think I'm getting elvesbeingstupidanddecidingtohurtyoshimibecauseheistravellingwithscumofmordoreven-thoughheisntdoinganythingwrongandneitherarethescumofmordorwhohappentobe-ringwraithsandmusesatthesametimebecauseigetenoughofthegettinghurtfromwilhelmina-andthereviewersandimbabblingarentishouldistopokayimstoppingophobia. Ha, topped your Midnighthurttriadophobia!
Rallalon -- Ooh! New reviewer! ^_^ YAY! Thanks for the compliments! I hope you'll review again...and again, and again, and...
&&&
Yoshimi: A big thanks to Daito for the million pounds to rebuild my house with. It's almost finished...Oh. No.
Angry Rabble: ^_^ Yup! We're baaack!
Yoshimi: *head in hands* Why me, why me?

Lalivero In Uproar! Protests Against Sexism Run RampantLALIVERO- Today, Lalivero has been sent into an uproar when it was reported that a girl, whose name has been censored, while escaping Venus Lighthouse, called boys fools!
"To take the direct quote," one protester remarked. "It was 'Why are boys such fools?', which is extremely sexist."
One protester, when told of the quote, made the calm reply, "ARGABOOGADINGDONGHRAAA!"*
The group, made mainly of males as well as a spattering of females, demands an apology for such outrageous slander.
*Quote may not be accurate. It could have been huragabruhagingongrah.

Agony Aunt: Auntie DoraNOTICE: Auntie Dora's got a touch of the flu, so we've asked some people to help
Dear Auntie Dora,
Um, there's this blue haired dude (also known as "scary guy with the blue hair") that I was travelling with who was saying something like, "You and I may think differently, but ultimately we both want the same thing..." but then he got this really freaky expression and he shouted insanely, "THE POWER TO RULE THE WORLD!" Then he got in this coughing fit and told me to ignore the last part. Is it just me, or is he an evil, insane psycho suffering from megalomania and is plotting behind our collective back?

Horoscopes (By Popular Demand!)
Mystic Megan has looked into her crystal lighthouse beacon and seen the following...
Venus -- Travel is in your future...now and for a long time in the future. But fear not. The stars say you'll be with your blue dove, but I think that's a spelling error. Tonight: Sleep. Mars -- Look forward to walking around in the mud, with no baths, and dust all over the place. Tonight: Camping out. No soft beds, still no baths, and insects. Not a five star day. Jupiter -- Moving on...Mercury -- Today you will get up, eat, look at the wall, play tic-tac-toe against yourself, lose, and count the bricks on the wall. As you did yesterday. And the day before that. Etc. Tonight: The same. Except you'll go to sleep instead of get up.

Yoshimi: There's your update! Go home!
Angry Reviewer 1: NO! We want to put the entire area to fire and the sword!
Angry Reviewer 2: ...But you said we were just here for an update...
Angry Reviewer 1: Well, now that we're here, it seems a big waste of time to just go back!
Yoshimi: Well, I'll just have to call on my secret weapon!
Angry Reviewer 3: Hey, we've got a lot of fire for the Ringwraiths!
Yoshimi: No, I'm talking about someone else!
Daito: Greetings.
Angry Reviewer 4: But...you're a reviewer!
Angry Rabble: PAY-OFF! TRAITOR TO THE CAUSE!
Daito: Please leave, or I may have to be...hasty.
Angry Reviewer 1: Hah! It's all of us to just one!
Daito: Correction. It is all of you to one with martial arts and sword abilities, fifty nuclear missiles, twenty-two nuclear subs, five hundred anti-air craft units, two thousand tanks, two hundred B-2s. Also, I have helped his muses by giving them stinger missiles, AKS-74Us, C-4s, hand grenades, and the stone tablet for summoning Iris.
Angry Rabble: 0_o;;;;
Angry Reviewer 5: How much would that cost?
Daito: Around $56, 987, 023, 567, 000. In pounds, that would be...
Angry Rabble: 0_o;
Angry Reviewer 6: Where did he get all that?
Angry Reviewer 7: This guy's creepy!
Angry Reviewer 1: Wait a minute there! Triad is nearby with V-2 Rockets and Tomahawk Cruise Missiles, ready to fire!
Yoshimi: Whatsits?
Daito: I hope you know that that would hurt you, too, that I do.
Angry Reviewer 2: WHAT?! You never told us this!
Angry Reviewers 2 onward: *run away*
Angry Reviewer 1: HEY! Where are you going?
Daito: Leave, or you may be caught in the crossfire.
Angry Reviewer 1: Okay, okay... *leaves grudgingly*
Daito: Oh, to Triad? I actually have three thousand tanks, that I do. In case you were considering pressing the launch button, the thousand I didn't mention are monitoring you.
Triad: *somewhere* *pulls hand hastily away from button*
Yoshimi: ^_^ Gee, thanks Daito!
Daito: Anytime, Yoshimi-sama.
Yoshimi: Now, all that's...!!! 0_o; AAAAAAAAAAAH!
Daito: What is...
Menardi (Vyctori's muse): Hello!
Yoshimi: *trying to scramble up wall* AUGH, AUGH, AUGH!
Daito: *drawing sword* You shall come no farther!
Menardi: Bring it on!
Daito: *fires with all fifty nuclear missiles, twenty-two nuclear subs, five hundred anti-air craft...aw, you get the picture* *everything in an eighty kilometre radius is obliterated and all the people (except Daito, who's properly protected) within a hundred kilometre radius are knocked out* *smokes slowly clears*
Menardi: *unfazed*
Daito: *unnerved* *blinks in confusion*
Menardi: So, will Vyctori let me back in now?
Yoshimi: @_@ Urrgggg...
Menardi: Yes? Good. See you later!
Wilhelmina: @_@ Glurg, review, urrrggg...nasty demise. Urg.
