your characters are ever so engaging!

Thank you, my dear, and welcome back!

I'm actually rather surprised at how much of a part Arariel is playing in this story, but far be it from me to tell her not to...

saa... I *wish* I were back--I'm just sneaking away to whatever free internet-accessible computer I can get to.

Well, it's no complaining you'll hear from me....

oh, and did you hear that Yukimura and Sanada apparently make a quickie appearance in next week's chibi episode?

[branchandroot]

*grins* I did hear about that. This should be good.

The worst part is that I can't remember Ararial at all! :-(
But it was lovelly this chapter.

Arariel is actually an original character. *grins* I needed someone whose issues of abandonment haven't been resolved, and Michael didn't quite fit, so I came up with Arariel instead.

Great to hear you liked it!

I asked over on my own lj, but just in case you don't get back to see it, may I play in an AU of your post-manga world if Mika-chan doesn't shut up?

Also, I *heart* Ara-chan.

Please do! *eggs Mika-chan on*

You know, it still amazes me just how much Arariel is a product of serendipity. I came up with her more or less as a throw-away character, and picked her name out of a hat. And then I realized just how well she fit into the idea of the Dominions that I was developing. And then how well her powers fit with Uriel's. And it just kept snowballing. I love it when that happens. ^_^

What *will* Uriel have to say about this turn of events, I wonder?

*grins* Uriel has decided not to say anything... in front of Ara-san at least.
