â¦Okay. Tattoos now strongly reminding me of breaking seals for angel transformation, and I canât BELIEVE I didnât get THAT one sooner. Suddenly I feel much less benignly towards tattoosâ¦at least certain animalistic ones on a certain young boyâs back that seem to be pointing towards said boyâs future in a very negative wayâ¦Please say thereâs a happy ending? I really hope thereâs a happy endingâ¦hoping and praying for a happy endingâ¦I like Iris too much for there not to be a happy ending⦠:all fingers crossed for a happy ending:
But now a new question is plaguing meâ¦what is the problem with the dragon tattoo?
Astri on August 5, 2006, 7:32:12 PM
Now THIS chapter took me by surprise. Irisâ¦falling apartâ¦is like the charm seal thing from way back when. Itâs going to stick with me, the way you put it, the way you show it. In this place surrounded by earth and spiders. Surrounded by life and ready to die.Yeah. Iâll stop now. Letâs just say that this is a chapter Iâll remember âwhen men are nothing but fairy tales in books written by rabbits.â (The Last Unicorn.)
Astri on August 5, 2006, 7:31:44 PM
Ah-HA!! â¦Sort of. It does explain a lot, but still, the most urgent questions are left unansweredâ¦well, duh, what would be the point in answering them now? Drives me nuts, thoughâ¦Where did Iris really come from? What does he really need? What does he really want? What is wrong with Raguel? Where did he come from? Why would sacrificing Iris save anything?
God, Iris IS like Colette, despite the fact that they act not at all similarâ¦no wonder I like him so muchâ¦
Astri on August 5, 2006, 7:31:12 PM
What am I? What am I? Such a hard question to answerâ¦An arachnoid. Corryn is an arachnoid. At least, were I forced to give name to form, that is the name I would give him. Well, his species, anyways.
So the question now (ONE OF the questions now) is, how does Valkyre being an archangel figure into Raguelâs plans? For that matter, what does he need with Irisâ blood? And why on earth is Iris so attached to Corryn? Trickery? Delusion? Or was Corryn the only bright spot in the hell of the labs so long ago?
And I still wonderâ¦what did Iris do, that he is so afraid of himself?
Astri on August 5, 2006, 7:30:32 PM
Okay. This is too weird. Iâm comparing this thing to ToS the whole way through, and now, what is this awesome spider-boy (yes, he is awesome, I totally agree)âs name? Corryn.Corryn. Like Corrine.
What does this mean?
âIt means that I, like God, do not play with dice and do not believe in coincidence.â V for Vendetta.
Astri on August 5, 2006, 7:30:08 PM
âYou think -â You think - what? What?! Finish your bloody sentence, Raguel, you think what?!?! ARRRRGGGHHH!!! Obviously Iris was NOT made in a lab (which I kind of figured ever since Valkyre asked Iris where he came from and Iris said, âI remember the lab,â not just âThe lab,â ) but that doesnât help!! What is he, then?!And on a side note, I also sympathize with your/ Raguelâs opinion of the worldâ¦however, I donât think that it is too far gone. There is still hopeâ¦hope for us before the need for Irisâ blood.
Let the records show that I consider that even further potent foreshadowing. Like Coletteâs letter to Lloyd at the beginning of Tales of Symphonia.
Somebody want to explain to me why I keep comparing Iris to Colette? --.--
Astri on August 5, 2006, 7:28:55 PM
So. Angel against demon. Elve against vampire. Fae against harpy. Dryad against satyr. Hmm. Very interesting, these two, simply by the mere fact of their existence. Does this mean that Iris has all those inside him, as well? Dryad and harpy interest me particularlyâ¦hmm. Hmm, hmm, and hmm. And of course, what is that string?Letâs find out!
Astri on August 5, 2006, 7:28:28 PM
Actually, I do like this chapter. It comes at a good time; I was just starting to wonder how Iris is feeling about all this. And in reality, this chapter only whets my appetite as to that question. Curse you and your infernally capable way of pulling your readers along! (I kid, I kid ~.^) Now I must read still more, so as to see which secrets are next revealedâ¦Astri on August 5, 2006, 7:28:00 PM
Thatâs my kind of math, all right ^.^ Give me the answer right from the start, and I can pass with flying colors ^.^ I hope.As for other words, thereâs always triumvirate, which is a word I rather like for a seat of ominous government. The only problem is, it only applies if this âbig, ominous, but undetailed and unnamed governmental thingieâ is headed by three people. âTriâ equals âthree,â after all. Hey, more math I can do! ^.^
Failing that, you could also try the word âmonolith.â You can refer to a âmonolithic government,â soâ¦
I dunno. Probably youâve already found a better appellation anywaysâ¦ne? ~.^
Besides, itâs nice to have a chapter like this sometimes, especially after a rash of info and action like there just was. It helps you process and get all your thoughts back up and with it.
Which makes me wonder...where is Raguel� :looks suspiciously around:
