As annoying as Kieko is and how under-developed she was, she at least brought someone back from the dead. And though she took Yusuke's fight against Toguro a bit hard, I don't blame her. But she is still supportive and not as helpless as Ginny. So yeah. Ginny suxx

We'll have her reveal her spirit healing powers, have her officially agree to be Kurama fake gf, and they can go tackle low rank demons together. We still need one to surprise Botan so Kurama can save the day with his rose whip.

It is still Tue. But at the greenhouse it'll be Wed. I just don't see the demon lackey making his move until the very end of the week and being able to snag some time away from everyone else. That way he can work on her more come Mon onward.

Yep, I've still got my inspiration, just gotta focus it. It's always tough to get the picture in your head down on paper. But I'm also doing some late night laundry and killing spiders. I won't be sleeping anytime soon after finding some fuckers by my bed. :/ I'm almost tempted to burn the whole place down now...nowhere is safe. And I don't have my dad to complain to. -adult sobbing-

EDIT - I finished. I'm tired so I didn't add anything with Shiori but I figured your post would have more ease for that. If you need me to add/subtract, let me know. I'm hoping her logic but uncertainty makes sense, if not I can try to polish it up sometime tomorrow. I'm off to bed, I'll catch ya tomorrow!

Ya know, I even find Kieko more purposeful than Ginny. >___> And that's hard to admit.

Shiori bringing up the gardening club would be a good thing to do. And her bringing up her reaper duties is a good point I think by now Koenma has had to make adjustments for Botan to get used to Earth life but I suspect her job is going to start pulling her away, she does look after the entire city and probably a bit more than that. I can have her mention ordering a requisition for a special bat on special occasions and to express interest in learning other methods from Kurama, probably combat aside though for now.

Yay, I win! XD

I think them going out for lunch maybe they can even go visit Yusuke and co? You mentioned wanting to bring Kuwabara in, did you still want to do that? In terms of Botan and Kurama monitoring the school, they can only do so much. The lackey will probably target her on Thur or Fri which leaves us the next 5-6 days to have that change gears, in terms of her emotions and how she interacts with Kurama and the others. So it'll be important to make a distinct point of Botan now and then her being influenced by the demon's powers.

And yes, turn in. Hopefully I don't stay up too late, as I always have to get up at 8 in the morning to let the dudes inside. -___-' But I do wanna have something for you when you get up.

I considered Ron and Harry brothers, which is why Harry and Ginny makes even less sense haha. I just wish I knew what Harry saw in her because I've always been at a sincere loss. I get she was enthralled by Ron's stories and how she was likely excited to start school but it came off as creepy. And even in the second book, she wasn't used much, despite being under The Dark Lord's control. But of course Harry had to be her knight in shining armor. I think Luna could help smooth out Ron's edges and he'd probably enjoy her quirks. But I still think the biggest mistake is not putting Harry and Hermione together but I guess that proves, you can be right for each other but not need to be anything more than friends.

Botan doesn't know a whole lot about Kurama either. She's read reports on Yoko of course but as he pointed out, there is Shuichi and she's just starting to get to know him and his mother. But yes I think sticking to the evening right now works for me. I think if we skipped, it might jeopardize the reactions and thoughts and could rush them. So I could lead us towards dinner, we could have a dinner post and then a before bed post where they sort of touch base before skipping?

I'm fairly certain it's Lord of the Rings, my bff would murder me if I didn't at least get that. I hope it's that. >___>'

We try to plot ahead, look ahead but it's hard to then tie it back to what we're currently working on. And I think both of us would like to hammer out (XD) a few posts in a short span of time so the scene can feel cohesive and this scene is important. We already know where we're skipping after their big night of "fun." But yeah for YYH, we only have a few things to flesh out. We still need some outings maybe, to get them talking more.

Btw, the post is coming, just slowly. I don't expect you to wait around for it so if you do need to hit the hay, you totally should. :3 I don't want you losing sleep waiting, is all I mean.

Maybe if Ginny's sporting talent was hinted at sooner, I would have bought into it. But she just seems so unfulfilled as a character. Like more should have be done but it felt like just a random act, than something that was taking 'years in the making' since I hardly remember her until book six, at best. I know she's sort of around in the fifth book but it's not terribly much. The fact is, Harry could have married someone he met at work years later. why his best friend's little sister? And Harry and Hermione had SO much in common and so much respect for each other, I don't know how she thought Ron would be a reliable long term mate. Maybe dating for a bit, sure but...he's not her kind of husband material IMO. Maybe Ron and Luna...but ehhh. Writers drop the ball, they're not perfect but when so much of the series has/had potential, it's hard not to notice the little things.

I honestly think she will need the night to think it over. We could have her approach the topic when they're at the greenhouse after school. She'll just need to think it over and consider his approach. She wants to be honest and so far, it's been a struggle. But she is alone...and she does enjoy being with Kurama, despite their differences. Giving it a shot doesn't seem like a huge leap off the cliff, so to speak. Of course there's the issue of work and the investigation but she'll give him a considerate 'yes' after school I believe. Which would then, make them being so casual about it at dinner tonight, understandable.

Yeah what my eldest brother said did make me go hide in my room and cry for 15 minutes in the dark...so that was fun. Tomorrow, the fat sexist pigs won't be working, just a nice cute drywall guy but most of the work is in the kitchen/bathrooms so I can probably hide in my room or my parents room. Plus I'd love to get you something to mull over at night since you're a few hours ahead of me. ANd I do have other PMs that need me. But yeah, thanks for understanding. :3

I just think she's pointless. She's like Clara or River (I know you won't get my DW ref but oh well, it's there lol) she's a plot device more than a developed person. She served a purpose to me, which was to be a lifeless love interest. I mean at least Cho had some depth and had emotions but Ginny just came off as too perfect in the later books. Like she's excellent at Qudditch suddenly? Gets to snog so many fellas while somehow catching Harry's eye? If only she wasn't so bland...

Oh I already knew JK considered off'ing Ron at least once, maybe twice. I think it could have been a good choice on her part but I also see why she may have changed her mind in the end. Ron is actually more clever than people give him credit for and I do like him in some instances. But I just wish his choices in the last two books were different.

I think with Botan and Kurama, Botan would want to tread a little lightly, at least considering it's their first night together while assuming Shiori knows 'something' is up. So I think small hints would be acceptable. I think Botan has too much on her mind to be overly affectionate, plus she doesn't want to be rude or anything. Sure Botan doesn't mind PDA but she wouldn't be showy about it in front of her bf's mother. Botan is a classy broad, I tell you.

Not sure about the PM tonight, I think I'll be able to hit them up tomorrow afternoon actually, so hopefully that means we may get another post or two in this week/weekend. You know how awful I am with PMs. >___<'

You should know by now I hate Ginny. I'm a vocal Harry x Hermione shipper. Ron's development took a diver after the fourth book, and things got even more muddled with him and Ginny, I just skimmed over most of her crap because it was so pointless. But to see the development of the story itself and all the foreshadowing JK did is just amazing. It really was an exceptional book series and I have to admit, I'm curious about the new film coming out.

Btw, with my post, I'm not planning on skipping since I feel it might not flow well. Did you want me to skip though? I just figured them returning back with a more understood dynamic, would be interesting.

Sapphire Roses

Oh stop it, your post was great and deep down, I am sure you know it. :/

The first book is probably my favorite out of all of them, maybe with the fifth and third coming in close behind. But yeah, it's fun to return to those books. They have a special charm to them, even if the romance is lacking.

Sapphire Roses

Aw what you mean you don't believe me? ^^;

I got to vent to my friend yesterday which was helpful. Plus venting in person is probably easier but I will hit you up via PM if my fingers feel like unleashing the hell of a thousands suns. :3

They do have to walk a certain tightrope now if they're both willing to give things a serious try once things are over. As you pointed out, it probably won't come to that as they'll probably foster feelings well before it's over. Botan is open to a genuine relationship, though it just never crossed her mind. Considering all the crap that recently happened, she'd want to be careful around Kurama. He's a friend of Yusuke and an alley to Lord Koenma. At the same time, she can relate to his loneliness and wanting to not let life/opportunities slip by while being focused on one thing.

I'm already working on a post now cause yours was just too inspiring to put off another day~
