[@xodus] Duly noted on the meme war rules of engagement. =)

Understood on the link, marriage, code, and cake. 

But I've been thinking, Xo. What if I did bring back Ethaniel and Ilana for old times' sake?... and then, much [i]much[/i] later, when the time is right... their proteges take over the mantles in some new chapter? It would allow me to finish a few subplots, such as revealing why Ethan is dubbed The Lidless Dragon, why Ethan loves and hates Ilana at the same time, will Ilana ever give in to Geko's advances, etc. etc...

It would also be more comfortable, persona-wise, for me to slip into. ^^;

The question would be when would I enter the story? Now? As instructors/invigilators? Or later? 

I also need some help with alchemic styles: they never had them, and I don't really know which ones suit them best based on how they were before and what they've done. Like Ilana's BitchSnap and BoomBox (remember those techniques? Used against that Shadow/Darkness chinese girl) and Ethan's ability to paralyze people with the penlight set on his body? They used their alchemy in the most minimalist way possible in order to produce the 'stone' that topples the 'wall'. Remember? They [i]had[/i] to be like that. They've been in AMRO for almost 2 decades and are getting older and older lol. 

So what say ya?
