 Mikaa 11/26/06 . chapter 2K, I haven't reviewed like this in a long time (reviewing while reading), but I have to say, haven't we (both you an I, among others) played the Rabbit card to death by now? But then, Rabbits are fun. I mean, look at Monty Python and the Holy Grail's "sharp fangs, leaps about,an, an... Look at the Boness!"
Moving on...
To the review!
Great. Reading the Wise One feeling random just gave me an idea for a fic. Oh well, the idea just vanished - I recall how bad I am with random humor wihtout seriousness killing it.
OK, I've ranted on this before, and I shall again - I can NOT stand stories where the perspective jumps without a break. It is a writing style and as such is used when a writer desires. I won't ramble, but it is a tad annoying when you wonder what is going through the other's head.
And Garet scorching his sis's flowers? Is he really dense enough to think that people would think that someone else (Alex or Ivan or Kraden) would burn them? Ok, Kraden maybe, but really; is he that dumb?
Don't answer that, Alex. You aren't much brighter. Usually.
Uh, Garet's mom punished his act of destroying a family heirloom by making him eat CARROTS? And I thought that parents in reality were going soft on their kids these days. Had I done that, I'd be lucky to see the outside world again.
Nice list of food. A predictable trick, but one that is still funny, given what you choose to use in the list. I mean, peppers and lima beans? Funny.
A thought occurs: Garet won't be stuck a la Felix last time, in a room alone with a sibling watching them change, will he? O.o
WHAT IN THE NAME OF HOLY! JENNA'S HOUSE FIXES RABBIT PIE! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? It's Rabbit CAKE. CAKE.
Ha ha. Still, very random. And the line "Garet froze" just sells it so perfectly.
Felix helping Garet accidentally was predictable (though Jenna ramming him was funny). But Felix's line about "just following your orders" to Jenna sounded... Odd. I've written one to many alternate universe fics. Or maybe I just need a psych eval. In any case.
One grammatical gripe - "Oh, who was he kidding" would have been funnier in a paragraph all its own. Though it is funny.
Ok, I just had a laugh, and it was not one you probably were planning on. When Felix waltzed into Isaac's BEDROOM, he just performed one of the greatest RPG cliches of all time: walking into a house and into a private room, and not only does he do this without (obvious) permission, NO ONE COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS HIS DOING SO! HA HA!
Sweet mercy, the Jerra's eat Rabbit Pie (GO CAKE j/k) too? Elements, no wonder some of the random encounters in Golden Sun are little forest critters who are hell-bent on endlessly trying to wear you down: they want to avenge their cousins.
Oh, before I forget - it would have been hilarious for Garet (and Isaac, for that matter) to have to explain how he somehow appeared in Isaac's room, as well if he came down while they were eating. Haven't heard Isaac/Garet as a pairing in a while... X.X
So Felix can just waltz into a house's private rooms without so much as a person asking how the hell or why he did so, yet Garet tries to do the same and gets stopped by Jenna? No wonder Felix was the main character. Ha ha.
Garet needs to think out his torments better. Especially when said plans to humiliate earn him foes like Felix and Kay.
Speaking of which, why have we not seen Kay in any pairings these days? I once tried to allude (or almost used her as) a wife for Isaac, but that was really the only time I've seen her used. Must be the fact that she's related to Garet and people don't want that bloodline (except Jenna or Mia on rare instances...).
In all, a nice story. A very, very nice chapt.

 Mikaa 11/15/06 . chapter 1Wow. Uh, hmm. If only I could come up with ideas that were this bizzare without being dark and, uh... Cough.
Nice story, though I probably will wonder if more could have come from this... It had potential for more, it seems, but is funny and wierd enough to be read again. |
