[skygiants]

This is probably a bad idea, but it's a Friday and it's very quiet at work and I've still got subversive meta shojo on the brain, SO: give me a character that I know, and I'll write 2-3 sentences about their experiences in Ohtori Academy and/or their experiences in Gold Crown Town.

Abishag Shaw.

[skygiants]

The dazed kangaroo tumbles sprawling to the ground.

"Hey!" shouts Tsuwabuki, furiously. "HEY! I'm Nanami-san's big brother!"

Abishag Shaw pulls off his boxing gloves, chews thoughtfully, and spits. "Anyone got a clue where my shirt's got to?"

(Bent over Yuuko in the greenhouse, Touga has a vague feeling that he's missed a cue.)

[varadia]

Galadan.

*solemn*

Have you ever written Duck in Ohtori Academy?

[skygiants]

I have not, but I've written Dios in Mytho!

. . . but not in that way.


a.) "But is that how you really feel?"

Galadan considers, spinning with the graceful ballerina in his arms. "Yes," he says, and snaps her neck.


b.) So that's what they mean by Ends of the World.

Galadan surveys Akio Ohtori in the car next to him and sighs. So disappointing.

Cordelia Naismith Vorkosigan.

[skygiants]

Mikage's off-script. He flounders for a moment, and falls back on the useful old standard: "Deeper. Go deeper."

"No," says Cordelia, companiably. "I don't think so." She settles back against the wall of the elevator, folds her arms and smiles. "Why don't we talk about you?"

[wakeupnew]

Betty Suarez

(What's Ohtori Academy?

EDIT: NEVER MIND THE QUESTION, I got un-lazy and googled.)

[skygiants]

HAHAHAHA OKAY.

- ahhh, that posted before I meant it to. ONCE MORE WITH ACTUAL FICLET.


"I can't believe you talked me into this."

"Teenage dancers often have low self-esteem," Betty says, more firmly than she feels. "This feature will be great for them and provide good publicity for Mode about our commitment to encouraging the next generation to become strong, confident women." And she still believes that, really she does, but . . .

She sneaks another glance over at her boss.

Was Daniel always a talking gibbon?

[oneechan19.livejournal.com]

Olivier Mira Armstrong.

[skygiants]

Mytho smiles from under half-lidded red eyes.

"Then give me," he whispers, "your pure and beautiful heart."

Olivier stares at him, and barks out a laugh. "Little boy -"

Mytho's eyes snap open. "I wasn't talking to you," he says, irritably, and leans in closer to Alex Louis.

[meredyd.livejournal.com]

Sokka in Gold Crown Town? (I've never seen more than an episode of Utena so Ohtori would probably be lost on me.)

[skygiants]

"Okay," Sokka says. "So here's where you saw the creepy raven girl, right? And here's where she ran into the forest and disappeared - just like Princess Tutu."

Duck laughs nervously next to him. Maybe recruiting Sokka to help her find Mytho hadn't been the best idea after all. "I don't really think it's that big a - I mean, maybe she's just - well, it's really not that big a deal, I mean there probably isn't really any such thing as Princess Tutu, hahahaha!"

Sokka whips out his magnifying glass and stares at her through it sternly. "We are going to solve this mystery scientifically," he informs her, and gets down to lay his ear against the ground. "Maybe some kind of trapdoor . . ."

"Wh-which mystery?"

"All of them!"

Duck quails.

Isaac and Miria. *sits back to wait for the explosions*

[skygiants]

Kashira kashira! Gozonji kashira!

Finally, finally, it's begun! The sealed light, the sorrowful Prince, the tale that could not be told until now: the Tale of the Rose!

Beware! Beware! She's here in the world somewhere -

"Who are we bewaring of, Isaac?"

"Why, it must be . . . the War of the Roses, of course! When Genghis Khan murdered the princes in the tower to become the prince of all Russia -"

"Oh, no! What a tragic tale!"

"Never fear, Miria my dear, it has a happy ending! Elizabeth the First defeated Genghis Khan, banished the Lancasters and the Plantagenets, and ruled in peace and prosperity!"

"A triumphant victory!"

"Long live Queen Elizabeth!"

"Excuse me," says Akio, unable to take it anymore, "but some of us are trying to watch the play."

Instead of a dark lord, you shall have a queen! Beautiful and terrible as the sea. Did you know, did you know? Did you know that?

C-ko! Stop going off-script!

[ceitfianna]

Sophie!

[skygiants]

"I can't," Sophie says wearily. "I can't come dance with you, I'm far too busy. Anyway, Martha's the youngest; you ought to be asking her."

"But I'm asking you," says Princess Tutu, with a smile that lights up her face, and draws Sophie to her feet.

("What feeling are you?"

"I am the feeling called obligation.")

[rymenhild.livejournal.com]

Pro Bono, and give me one for Gold Crown Town so I can write it and improve what appears to be a really crummy morning.

[skygiants]

I am sorry your morning is crummy! :(

Also, the one that came to mind for Bono is an Utena one, but if you want me to try a Tutu one I will, since I know you haven't seen all that much Utena.


"The power to revolutionize the world?" Bono looks at Touga, all pale skin and long red hair and lofty smile, and laughs in his face. "That fancy rose ring's just a collar," he says, "and none of you fools can see it."



And for you . . . give me Lewis in Gold Crown Town!

[ivy-chan.livejournal.com]

Itempas in Ohtori. XD

[skygiants]

There is one who plans to steal away all the light in the world, and plunge the land deep into darkness.

"No," he mutters, restless. This story is true and a lie at once, and such things are impossible; in the light of Itempas, truth and lies are never the same.

Gadzooks! You are . . .

The Rose Bride smiles at him, blank glasses covering blanker eyes, and he sees dead Enefa in her face.

[izilen]

I hope I'm not too late! Could I have Mei/Gold Crown? *_*

[skygiants]

"MISS CHANG! If you come to class late one more time, I will have you MARRY -"

The ballet teacher's motivational speech is abruptly interrupted by a panda to the face.

"Mr. Cat!" Mei shrieks, as Xiao Mei leaps back onto her shoulder. "You are not a gentleman!"

[futuresoon.livejournal.com]

I think it is obvious that what Gold Crown Town needs is a little Claire Stanfield.

[genarti]

--Man, great minds think alike!

[genarti]

>:DDDDD

Claire Stanfield!

Alternately: Scar.

[jothra]

*weeps* I thought you meant Lion King Scar for a second, there.

[furikku.livejournal.com]

a) Windows 95 in Ohtori

b) Meg in Gold Crown Town

c) All of the above

[skygiants]

Ahhh I don't know Windows 95-canon well enough!


Duck watches the new student pirouette, entranced. "She's really good!"

"If you like that kind of thing, I suppose," says Rue haughtily. The new girl is good. But Rue refuses to allow herself to be threatened by a rat.

BAM Late to the party

[blacksheep91.livejournal.com]

...I'm pretty sure I need to see Sir Percy Blakeney in Gold Crown.

Re: BAM Late to the party

[skygiants]

From his observation point on the rooftop, Percy watched the girl who had been a magical princess moments ago run straight into a wall and fall flat on her face.

"Well, sink me," he remarks to the empty air. "The gel's got it down to an art form."

By the time she starts babbling inanities at Fakir, he's taking notes.

[ojuzu.livejournal.com]

Haruhi in Ohtori?

[skygiants]

"The Chairman gave her a lift?" exclaims Tamaki, white with horror. "Mother! How could you let this happen?"

"I don't think there's as much need for concern as you think," Kyouya says, without looking up from his book. "And - oh, he's gone catatonic again."

***

"The throb of the engine," murmurs Akio. "It feels good, doesn't it?"

"Hmmm?"

"I said, the throb of the engine -"

"Sorry - your car's really loud. Uh, thanks for the lift, but could you drop me home now? I really have to study."

Akio attempts not to look put out. "Of course," he says, "but first, to you, I will show . . . the ends of the -"

"- Mr. Chairman, please put your shirt back on."

Ty Lee in Gold Crown would be lulzy

[skygiants]

The air is filled with rose petals and the approaching sound of drumbeats; the music of Carmen, lush and passionate, is nearly audible.

Actually, strike the drumbeats. Insert hoofbeats.

"Are you sure you don't want to get out of the way?" asks Ty Lee, doing an idle handspring on the back of the lead bull.

"Fairest of maidens! I cannot love you enough, and so I must be punished!" cries Femio, in an ecstasy of self-recrimination, and positions himself dramatically in front of the charging herd.

"Well, suit yourself, I guess," says Ty Lee cheerfully. His aura's a swirling reddish-pink, but not in a bad way, so she supposes there's got to be something he enjoys about it.

Scar, Gold Crown Town

8D

[skygiants]

ahhhhhhh writing Scar in Ohtori was HARD ENOUGH. *laughing*


"Will you buy a gem? Pretty gems, to give to the one you love?" He doesn't notice the jewel-seller until she speaks - which, in and of itself, is not a thing that should happen. His eyes narrow instantly.

"I've no need for things like that," he says, his right arm ready at his side. Beside him, Marcoh slows, hooves clopping on the cobblestones.

But the woman holds out her hand anyway, and a small green-blue gem on a thin silver chain tumbles out to dangle from her fingers. "This is the gem called reconstruction," she says.

Unbidden, the image of the broken deserts of what used to be a living city flashes through his mind.

Reluctant: "What will it cost?"

"You carry the jewel called revenge," says Edel, and holds out her hand.


(So, uh, APPARENTLY I CAN'T WRITE CROSSOVER SCAR CRACKFIC. I'm sorry!)

[nevacaruso.livejournal.com]

I would love to see any of the following characters at Ohtori Academy.

Knives Chau from Scott Pilgrim vs. the World
Alex Wilder from Runaways
Barnaby from Seven-Day Magic

Also, I'm stealing this meme.

[skygiants]

doooo it!


Knives' hand slides down Scott's chest; the black rose ring glints on her finger.

"Not agai-" Scott manages, before he groans and falls over.

*****

"Knives! Why are you doing this?" Utena shouts, as she hurls into her signature backflip to avoid the Sword of Sexually Awkward Friendship.

"I just want to be cool enough!" Knives shrieks. "I want to be a real grown up! And I don't want to kill Ramona because she's actually kind of cool, so I have to kill the Rose Bride if I ever want to be an adult!"

Utena stares at her as their swords clash. ". . . Knives, you're older than almost anyone in this school! You're actually older than Himemiya!"

"Not exactly," murmurs Anthy, but as Utena's sword slices through Knives' black rose just at this moment, no one is paying attention.

******

"Hey, Knives, how was your semester abroad?"

"It was great!" gushes Knives, eyes shining. "I really feel like I've gotten way more mature!" She turns to Young Neil, who is sulking in a corner. "Hey Neil, you should apply to study abroad their next year!"

I think the Middleman and Wendy need to visit Ohtori. I'm not sure why, but the thought DELIGHTS ME.

[skygiants]

"Absolute destiny apocalypse, Dubby, I've got it!" the Middleman exclaims, sitting straight up in the car. "This whole school's generating a perpetual motion machine generating a static timefield! It's diabolical!"

"That's great, boss -" Wendy ducks one of Touga's swipes, then jumps backwards over a car. "But unless it's going to actually affect this fight right now, an we maybe run it through again when I'm not in the middle of a lethal and extremely bizarre duel?"

"Of course, Dubby," says the Middleman politely, and leans back in the '57 red Corvette roadster as it makes another circuit round the duel arena.

Watching from beside the bells, Akio smiles. "My plan," he murmurs, "is sheer elegance in its simplicity."

[elle-white.livejournal.com]

Mai in Cold Crown Town.

[skygiants]

Princess Tutu steps back from Mai, drawing the heartshard forward; it doesn't particularly resist. "And what feeling are you?"

The heartshard sighs. "I am the feeling," it says, inexpressibly long-suffering, "called boredom."

"- oh," says Tutu, sounding faintly uncertain. "How nice.

[moonyazu9.livejournal.com]

Can't believe no one's requested this yet…AZULA in Gold Crown Town.

[skygiants]

"What have you done?" shouts Drosselmeyer, raging back and forth in the gears.

Azula examines her fingernails. "Some of us, Drosselmeyer -" With a sense of dramatic time as excellent as Drosselmeyer's own, she spins her hand and brings a flame to blossom at the tips of her fingers. "- don't like being controlled by puppets."

(What remains of Edel, within the bonfire, thinks: glory to those who defy it.)

[pseudo_tsuga.livejournal.com]

Aang in Gold Crown Town.

[skygiants]

"Rue-chan and Mytho are both so amazing and they're really perfect together, but . . ." Duck bites her lip. "I don't know why, but these days when they're dancing, sometimes they both look so sad . . ."

"Rue's the best dancer in the school," Pique points out. "That's not easy, in ballet." She makes a knowing face. "It's a competitive world out there, you know?"

"Hey, dancing shouldn't be stressful. The most important thing is to have fun with it, right?" Pique looks doubtful, but Duck nods enthusiastically. Aang, showing off, kicks himself up into the air and executes a few pieces of fancy footwork. "So . . . let's throw them a secret dance party!"

"That's a great idea!" exclaims Duck.

"I guess it could be fun . . ." says Pique.

Lilie's eyes shine. "I love it! It's such a well-meaning idea and it will be so exciting when it all inevitably goes horribly awry!"
