    Quote:
    Some of it may stem from the Renaissance's clerical suspicion of science as "replacing God".

    "Doing her job" implies someone gave her a job?

      An oddly modern anime that parallels that is Tokyo Godfathers. It's a group of homeless people who find a baby, go on a crazy journey to return it to its mother, and end up preventing a suicide. They touched a lot of people's lives, but at the end they're still homeless and disrespected.

I don't know, that throne is pretty fancy.

        Liu Xi can take some comfort in knowing that she is no less picked on than many others including many of her friends. Indeed, she is fortunate that much of the Hood's agenda for her is discernable.

        She's probably irritated that all of the plots she's in involve her losing her clothing.



    Quote:
    That may be a general side-effects of appearing in Untold Tales.


She's only frustrated about it because it happens to her pretty regularly.
