There we go, first paragraph. Gauntlet thrown, as it were, to make sure the Muse doesn't scarper off after something shiny.

Giles didn't know why he was so surprised to find out that the very particular Japanese people allowed sleazy bathhouses to exist in Tokyo. A society as rigidly organized as Japan's was bound to throw odd offshoots. And, if nothing else, if a sleazy bathhouse hadn't existed, Ethan would have been forced to create it, just so he'd have a place where he felt comfortable.

cue evil laughter

Hehheheheheh.

Ethan and geishas.....

Oh, re the Chinese potential? She does have a name; it was written on one of the flashcards, that showed her being killed by the flashcard monster.

Very nice connie, but I think that you really need to finish writing 'Career Change' because I need to see what you're doing, and there's only so many times I can reread the graveyard bit. Mmmm, HoYay.

ELENA!

I've been eating Canadian Chocolate and feeding Kara Canadian Chocolate and sharing some of said chocolate with the boys when they're very good and playing with little cute Canadian Chocolate Toys and stroking video tapes in a porny manner. Thank you.

don't yell at her, she's seen the outline for hte rest of it and she knows what's coming.

Oh, that was a happy yell, not a disgruntled one.

Deena - I saw your post in Bitches, but then skipped so I didn't get to comment. I'm sorry that the Kinder Eggs imploded, but the rest was good? And which chocolate is your favourite?

Oh, OK. I bet I can do both ... but the idea of Ethan and a geisha is making scenes appear. Excuse me.

Oooh, connie and I are twins.
