Oh boy...

*grumble* I could've sworn I said that I wasn't going to do these topics in English. I did say that, didn't I?! And yet, for some reason, that quick one shot I'd been pondering for some time now decided it wanted to be Naru's b-day story. The sad thing is, it's part of the topic series' universe which means, if I want to write the b-day-ish story, the rest of the background needs to be there too. ^^; Sadly, the b-day-ish story was written first in English. This is seriously getting to be a bad habit--writing in two different languages like this. >.> Ah well, shall see how things go with it.

Unfortunately, the prologue to the topic series isn't working out very well in English at the moment, so I'm putting it up here on LJ first instead. I'm suspecting the prologue will have to be completely rewritten to work in English. It's... a bit weird or off or something. Maybe it's the first person aspect, but I don't think that's it. After all, the first topic is fine in English. It's just one of those weird oddities I guess. *sigh*

Anyhow, the prologue is written below the cut. It's completely unedited at the moment since I'm currently working on re-re-re-editing #5 and the pseudo-epilogue in Japanese as well as starting in on the English version as well as writing up the b-day omake. ^^; Still, hope folks enjoy it. ^^;

Hrmmm... I get the feeling I seriously need to double check the prologue. Either that or I have a similar scene somewhere else and I'm misremembering where it should be. I keep feeling like something's missing. >.>

Anyhow, the first topic. It's a short one. ^^; Poor Mai...? Again not edited or anything at the moment. (I know, I know. I'm being very lazy and sloppy. ^^; )
