Quote:*snrk* Okay, I like that. I'll admit that I was initially thinking more along the lines of Shizuru as Juri herself... but that'd make Nao Shiori, and brr. Just, brrrrrr.
*collapses laughing at the mental image of Natsuki as Sakura and Shizuru as Tomoyo of CCS fame*
Ordinarily, of course, there's nothing especially lucky about seeing a critter like that, seeing as how it's both ugly as sin and likely out for your hide, but since the time I looked back was about the same time that Natsuki showed up, I think you can see why this'd be a bit of an unusual case.
Granted, there's nothing particulary appetizing about watching Duran splatter something that used to be alive across about half the local landscape, but it's fairly satisfying.
In retrospect, it might have been a good idea for me to decamp from my window and try and find someplace safe to wait out the mess, but it didn't occur to me at the time, and really, given the kinds of havoc that were getting thrown around, where could have gone that would've done any good?
Even though my window was actually a fairly good vantage point for much of it, there was a lot more going on that anyone on the ground would really have been able to piece together at the time - that Orphan and three others on the ground, then the two flying ones, and all of them raising as much havoc as they could.
The thing you never think about watching all those old kaiju films is that, when something like that really happens, a lot of people die... and this was hardly an exception.
When everything came out at the end, Akane... didn't take it well.
Well, I went and picked up my meds. Insurance is still on the fritz, so I'm two-hundred odd dollars poorer, at least until I can get the company over the barrel and make them pay me back the difference from their sweetheart deal, and for whatever reason only one of the two prescriptions was included. Fortunately, it's the one that I consider more vital - the depression med, as opposed to the actual concentration aid - so I hope to be back on a more even keel soonish.
OTOH, the bookstore run I made on the same trip will probably preclude any further productivity tonight, so I figure I'll just accept my due shame for the moment.
Ja, -n
