With some encouraging response (read:one person asked for a copy of whatever chapters she'd been missing, and was patient while I tried to make a text file that her comp wouldn't mind), we shall get going with Chapter Six. Somehow, I'm going to get these guys to 8:00 P.M. Friday. I must. It is inevitable. (It is becoming harder to convince myself.) Anyway, here's the rundown for those just joining us and scared to look at the earlier chapters.
Sakura is having a sleepover, and it appears that just about anyone that I'm willing to risk copyright infringement over is showing up somehow.
One of those who has arrived already is Mihoshi, who is invited due to her arrival via crash landing.
Others have arrived from various anime series, and are invited due to not having the slightest idea how to get back through the portal Mihoshi opened in her feeble attempt to clone food.
The number increased steadily as everyone managed to forget closing the dimensional gateway up to about now.
We have a group standing on the ship preparing to enter the ship and a pig about to land on said ship about, oh...
*splat*
...now, I'd say. And, his luck being what it is, he landed in hot water (literally, due to the water spilling out of the spaceship's radiator being heated by ground so close to the magma layer). Just thought I'd mention that, if only to give meaning to these inane openings and all.
*gets whapped severely*
Hey, just wait. I have worse planned.
As for who's showing up this time around, we have:
From Urusei Yatsura, another of the masterpieces of Rumiko Takahashi and Viz, we have the bikini alien herself, Lum;
From Sailor Moon, another one of the "We Had To Sometime" entries and a copyright of Toei Animation, comes Sailor Jupiter;
From Slayers, another one of the oddball choices we're selecting because we can and wish to flagrantly exercise our rights, we have two characters owned by Software Sculptors named Lina Inverse and Gourry;
From Final Fantasy III, another type of media altogether, known as a role-playing video game, and the property of Square Co. Ltd, we introduce Celes and Locke;
And, from Kimagure Orange Road, another bad idea, and the property of AnimEigo, we have...two people you should recognize if you've ever seen the thing. You'll find out later - it'd ruin the surprise.
