(at least, I think they are--by Asgardian standards, if nothing else)

I find myself wondering what he's going to give her. Because I'm sure he's going to give her -something-.

And I can't help but think that something is going to be a giant robot. (Because, duh, Corwin.)

Going from there, the potential robots he could find-and-restore/make are many, of course--but the main character mecha from the series Shinkon Gattai Godannar are what really stick out in my mind. Because, well, Go and Anna had just gotten married, and Godannar and Neo Okusaer are combiners, and... it just fits.

Just some ramblings, of course. o/~

I can imagine the father of the groom giving her a ship for a wedding present.

Maybe a card with note saying 'Surprise!'

Indeed.

I'd kinda assumed that someone would try to persuade Anthy to get into a cake. And then said person would get hurled out of a window, carefully avoiding all the sensitive, delicate roses before going squelch on the patio.

Edit for added clarity in the face of chronic misunderstanding.

Also, there is such a thing as a drunken bet, y'know.

Maybe I'm missing your point, but, if not...

... I can't imagine -any- scenario where this would be considered a win. Nor can I think of anyone close enough to the trio who would be able to persuade her to do such a thing, who'd then want to squelch her on the patio.

Akio, maybe... but see above re: 'close to the trio'.

Seriously? You had? Because given the facts currently in evidence, that is a deeply absurd assumption to have reached. I mean... really quite, quite wrong.

Pretty sure he meant that "someone", not Anthy, would get hurled out the window.

So that part makes sense, but who in their group would be stupid enough to make the suggestion?

I'm just trying to figure out the whole window-hurling thing. Girl-in-cake, okay, I can understand (and possibly appreciate) that. Not sure it fits this group, but, I get it.

Taking said girl-in-cake and hurling them out a window seems like a waste of perfectly good cake and girl to me. I'm not sure what the point is.

…oh for Pete's sake. Anthy's staying put. Nobody's going into a cake, and the person who suggests otherwise is going out the window.

(Which is why none of their friends would so suggest. So it's still a strange comment.)

... oh.

I get it now. Parsing error, my bad.

(and yes, it's still strange. :)

No worries. You weren't exactly the only one.

She's already got one of those, though. Some people are just naturally hard to get gifts for...

Yeah. I mean, in a way, she's got her own *universe* (well, shared with Corwin and Anthy). How do you top that?

Shalon Wood

It's not the gift, it's the thought.

...although frankly, I can't imagine that her _present_ was Corwin's biggest concern given he just went on a quest to prove that he could marry her in the traditional fashion.

Fuzzy dice for the ship. And universe, come to that.

Now I have a mental image of a pair of giant fuzzy dice hanging from the bell-tower....

I had one of a pair hanging in front of Valiant's main viewscreen, myself...

I still think Lion Force Voltron would be a good fit for the Duelists. :)

Too many Duelists now. They'd need Vehicle Force Voltron to have enough seats.

Dunno. I'm kind of partial towards the idea he gives her a necklace in the shape of a drill, and occasionally when she's pulling an Utena, it subtly glows bright neon green.....

Although the idea of pulling off the Godannar matchup is just so hilariously PERFECT, I'd love to see it. Especially how well that series pulled it all off.

How does anything "subtly" glow bright neon green?

Anyway, the last thing you want to do when Utena's being Utena is make her consciously aware of it; she might stop. :)

The colour could be bright neon green, but the intensity of the glow could be quite low. 'Sides, this is Corwin. He could reattune the glow of the necklace so that it's softer... we're talking about a friggin' deity here. A well-muscled and techno-literate and fluffy-haired and, and, and...

Anyone needs me, I'll be in my bunk.

Don't the Lenses glow slightly in their basic color? It could be something like that.
