Very nice imagery!

Thanks. Like I've said before, the wonders of research. I've never been to
Nango Beach, but I must have downloaded every tourist guide, photo page,

and > map of the place on the Internet. I like to use real locations if I
can: it

just seems more fitting for the shows that the fic is based on. When I

found

out about the Day Break Festival they hold here, and realised that they do
it basically one or two days after Marine Day, it seemed like a great

place

to have Nise Suiko strike again.

If you try really hard, you can actually track the exact date of my plot
points. I like that, for some reason. ^_^

Hee. Very nice work on the research. :)

stocky Chinese boy was wearing banana yellow trunks and standard

orange

water wings, with what appeared to be an inflatable dragon around his
waist. A snorkel and a pair of goggles rested on top of his shaggy

head,

glinting slightly in the light.

That is one of the dorkiest mental images EVAR. XD

Shuu lends himself to this kind of dorkiness easily. He's one of those
pleasant guys to hang around who is actually so mature that he doesn't

have

to be mature if he doesn't feel like it. If that makes any sense. It's

like

having the world's largest ten-year old on your team.

Heheheh.

Ami hoped they would be able to handle things without needing to
call in Sailor Moon. Usagi was as reliable as any friend could be, but
the more she used her powers lately, the weaker she seemed to become.

I won't bother repeating my objections to this plot point. Just note that

I

have already objected to this at length. :)

Duly noted and recorded. Like I said, it's a matter of some debate for me.
I'm still going back over my old notes to see where I may have messed this
up. As mentioned, if it bothers enough people, then I will axe it. ^_^

I would like to point out, though, that I am trying to refer to "Super"
Sailor Moon, here. That transformation is legitimately screwed up at the
moment. Whether she still has normal SM powers seems to be where we are
running into the problem.

*nod* It'd make sense for her "Super" powers to be screwed up, but her
regular henshin should be just fine, because it's powered by the Ginzuishou.

Down girl. Fire and ice do NOT mix...

Well, fire can sure make ice melt. And boil, if you give it enough time to
do its stuff. ^_^

.......h.h

Ami Mizuno had practiced the art of being invisible to the opposite

sex

specifically to avoid things like this. How could she possibly face

the

other Sailor Senshi if she let herself get all flustered and

tongue-tied

over some random guy?

Yeah. I mean, it's not like he's Urawa-kun, or Mercurius, or Tsukino
Shingo,
or...

Let's not forget that in the manga she also was linked to Fish Eye and
Zoicite, too. And the entire debacle with the Love Contest in "S". This

was

part of why I felt comfortable writing this scene. The simple truth about
Ami is that she is shy, but desperate. She may choke up around boys, and

she

may want to act as though she does not care about boys, but when you
actually check her track record, she has had more actual *attempts* at
romance than any of the so-called "boy-crazy" Senshi.

This is true.

Ami is a very lonely girl. She wants to find a guy, but has no idea how in
the world to do it. For all her supposed "ice queen" status, I have yet to
see her turn down a date when one was offered to her.

I'd date Ami-chan. ;_;

Ami: "I am falling desperately in love with you, and all you want to talk
about is crowd control?"
Ryo: "Well... Yes. Pretty much."
Ami: "You really are stupid, aren't you?"
Ryo: "Oh, I haven't BEGUN being stupid, yet!" ^_^

*dies laughing*

"Aw, man, and they're kind of cute, too!" the boy in orange
whispered back.

I like his attitude. Come for the battle, stay for the orgy!

Shuu Rei Fuan knows what he likes, and he likes three things: wine, women,
and songs about wine and women. ^_^

Heh.

"If Nise Suiko is involved, then you can count us in, too," Shin
said, stepping forward and putting his hands on his hips. "I'll be

blowed

if I let that blackguard run around spoiling MY good name."

Nicely put!

I like Shin because he gets to use words I would otherwise never be able

to

type. I mean, seriously, can you picture any of the other Senshi or

Troopers

using a word like "blackguard"?

Heh.
