Thank you. I am very pleased with the way Utena and Saionji's friendship has developed; over the course of Hogtown it toddled off in its own direction, and in doing so amused the hell out of me. Pure fun, and for characters who've really earned it, too. :)

Well, since I skipped over it and don't know if I'll ever get the opportunity to backfill it, I can tell you what happened - Skuld and Belldandy had warned Urd ahead of time that she was not to interfere ("Don't try to be cute, and don't try to 'help'. Keep your hands, your potions, and your 'advice' to yourself."), and now that Skuld's an adult (and Urd has matured some since Ragnarok), Urd pays attention when she puts things that seriously. So Urd was on her best behavior, and there was no havoc. She spent most of the week sitting on the toolbox and cheerleading. :)

Offhand, I would guess that they'd go out and paint the town red.

She's bisexual, but at the moment she's mainly looking at women. This may be due mainly to the fact that her sole (very bad) experience so far has been with a man, and thus it will take her a lot longer to dare trying to get involved with another one. Kaitlyn is very much a romantic; she has to feel as though she's in love with someone before she can go to bed with them, and that's much more likely to happen with a woman than a man at this point. (It's kind of academic right now, since she's not seeing anybody.)

>is... crud, I can't remember.

Juri is complicated. :) She thinks of herself as pretty much entirely homosexual, but perhaps, theoretically, if the right guy came along... not that she believes the right guy actually, literally exists, but as a skeptic she's leery of absolutes, even in labeling herself. :)
