Fic post from my archive.
After the third-years graduate, how do those who remain adjust?
Momo didn't mind that Ryouma was quiet and obnoxious, and Ryouma didn't mind that Momo was loud and obnoxious. They met in the middle, and it all worked out.

Ryouma: [glare] I heard that.
You were meant to, Ochibi.
What bet, precisely, did Fuji and Inui have going, anyway? [curious]

Date: 2004-08-10 12:50 am (UTC)I'm fairly sure they were betting on how long it would take Momo and Ochibi to come treking up the hill after them for a decent game. Inui, of course, got it right because he's in communication with Kaidou.

Date: 2004-08-10 03:29 am (UTC)You know, logically I know Ryouma -will- be the captain after Momo (he'll definitely bet he next captain, he has the skills), but the thought of Ochibi doing the job put the fear of god in me (or the other regulars). Yes it does.
However, having said that, it is also extremely clear that Ryouma would make an excellect captain. If he lack skills in communication he makes up for it in his ability to see weaknesses and strengths in a person under 5 sec flat, and he'll always make you know if you're doing a good job or not. In his own way.
Anyways, adore this fic, absolutely adored, Ryouma and Momo's interaction was just perfect, but I have to say Inui and Fuji's brief appearance and Ryouma's urge to hide made me laugh -very- hard. Love. I'm -very- interested in this arc.

Date: 2004-08-10 05:37 am (UTC)Hmm, you know Ryouma is like Tezuka when it comes to communications, except where Tezuka is more of a whole body-language thing, Ryouma is more of a Smirk-speak.
Kachirou and Oishii would have been so rich if they had written 'How to understand your Buchou'
Hmm. I think the drugs are kicking in ^__^

*dies laughing* oh yes, yes indeed!

Date: 2004-08-10 08:26 pm (UTC)And I can't help but love the Hiyoshi-Kaidou parallel. It's so appropriate, but you wouldn't think of it, unless you looked closer. Oh, and I assume that we will get to find out, sooner or later, what the bet between Inui and Fuji was all about. ^.^
Looking forward to more! (Here's to hoping Ryoma-buchou doesn't drive his players into the nearest mental asylum) ^_^;

Date: 2004-08-11 02:07 pm (UTC)I've seen the "up the hill" scenario before, and while I understand it, I think I'd like to see the ties truly broken... Seigaku (unlike Rikkai) has few ties between divisions, and I think it would be more "meaningful" to move on completely. We witness Yamato, who is in the senior division, and his presence is like a God descending.
I do like the "full circle" nature of this, and Ryoma's willfulness. I think next year will be a sadder year...
I do pity Momoshiro. I don't think I'd like to be captain of a club with Echizen as the star. Tezuka receives massive recognition because of his skill, and while Momoshiro is GOOD, he's not LEGENDARY.
no subject
Date: 2004-08-11 03:05 pm (UTC)*more thoughtful* Though, you know, aside from Ryouma, and Momo to an extent, I don't think anyone else is trekking up the hill; the social boundaries that we see in Yamato's case do hold. They're only overridden between Tezuka and Ryouma, with a few side effects. This may be because I've been listening to "Arigatou" too much. ^_^;
*looks over thoughts* I should make a note to make all this more evident, when I do final revisions.
*nods* Anyone coming after Tezuka has got a seriously raw deal. And all the more so, being sandwiched between Tezuka and Ryouma! *pets Momo*

Date: 2004-08-13 02:55 am (UTC)Arigatou is a fun song... <--- fangirls Okiayu-sama madly
You don't see Kaidou working on maintaining the ties? I think if Momoshiro breaks the boundary first, Kaidou would be right on his heels - there's no WAY Kaidou will get ahead of him.

Date: 2004-08-20 06:00 am (UTC)I don't really like Ryoma but you've given me a better perspective here. And oh man, Momo-buchou! It's so hot and I totally agree, between him and Kai, it's definitely Momo who will be buchou. :D I think you've painted a great picture on what it would be like. I'm going to enjoy this MomoRyo thing mwahahaha!
