> > Marvellous Marv is up to his usual annoying tricks, eh? Good thing he hasn't run into Liu Xi yet. She would show him some real magic, the kind that would put him out of action for a long time.
>
> I'd certainly read that story.

I'd have to find the motivation (in the story I mean) since Liu Xi has become far too patient to hunt him down and annoy him.


> > Speaking of Liu Xi, she's going to be horribly embarrassed when she finds out that Vinnie was on that show. Actually Kerry will probably be embarrassed too. He should have had Liu Xi argue with the owner of the book shop for him, she's not only good at it, but she can make repairs while she's arguing with him.

> I think Vinnie has developed a thing about "making it on his own", based upon his old arguments with his family and turning his back on his trust fund. After all, he's probably got enough magical resources to make himself rich if he chose to use them that way. he could commend spirits to find him treasure, or hypnotise his landlord into getting free accomodation, or all kinds of things. He's trying to prove to himself and others that he can make it as a person without needing props.

Liu Xi would take offense to being a "prop". She would also tell him there's nothing wrong with asking help from friends, especially when they're suited to it.

At the same time, though, she would love to ask Chiaki to buy the entire building Vinnie lives and works in (Chiaki does invest in real estate), but she doesn't want to do that without being asked first.


> > By the way, it looks like my last few Saving posts turned off most of the readers. It's been nearly a week and only 2 replies. I'm wondering if I should post the epilogue at all now.

> I'd say post it. We need the new status quo defined and I for one would be interested in seeing it.

It's not quite finished yet, but it is about 3/4 done.
