Hi WhiteZeo!
I feel so bad! I fell behind in the feedback! Bad Sugarplum! But I am here now! Wheee! I have two parts to feedback! How fun is that? So fun! So totally with the funness! If you havent guessed, I am in a really silly mood, and making up words and sounding really silly comes with the territory. I do hope that you dont mind . . . a lot.
Aaaahhhh! You posted the conversation on your post office?! I was warned. But I didnt think the conversation itself was going to make it on the page! Haha! You have no idea how hard it was not to laugh in the library when I was reading through the conversation again. I think I am too silly and too crazy for my own good! Haha! Well, now that that off topic thing is done, I think I can get to the actual reason for this post.
Just a warning . . . This is long, and I am silly from sleepiness and also a really silly day. I apologize for any nonsensicalness and . . . Uh, lets just leave it at that. I apologize. ::sheepish grin::
Poor Rai! She has to be the strong one in this all. Everyone else is falling to pieces and she needs to be the one that is there keeping things on track, the one with the level head. She is such a great friend to Vanault! I knew I liked her for reasons other than the way she interacts with Thane!
I like how she knows that she doesnt have time to basically do nothing, but that doesnt get her moving. I think it makes her more real, more believable as a person. I mean . . . how often do we really go and do something right after we tell ourselves that you have to do this . . . now? Like very rarely. Very nice touch!
It looks like Thane had the same thoughts as Mave with the changing of the uniform. I wonder what Rai thought when she saw him in the different uniform, the more somber uniform. That probably didnt help her mood. Although I am sure he looked just adorable in it! Heehee! Who am I kidding? He would look adorable in just about anything. Heehee!
Oh! Mauve aura! Pretty! I want to see! I want to see! ::giggles:: Truthfully, I want to know what color my aura is. Whenever you mention them in here, that thought always pops into my head.
Okay! Rai and Thane! Too cute for words! Like really! So very cute with the subtle non-flirting flirting. Haha! I really like the next part that I quoted. I thought that was like the cutest part in the part . . . well . . . other than the way it ended. Rai is so cute around Thane! She really is. He brings out a side of her that I think she tends to hide. Maybe she doesnt think it is befitting of someone in her position? I am glad that her mood improved after Thanes little visit though. She deserved a little lift in her mood. I think everyone in Animaria does. But then I like it when everyone is happy.
Haha! I just liked that. I like her response to his security comment. ::giggles::
Thane is so sweet when he is concerned about Shayla. He really is such a great older brother. Makes me want an older brother.
And Rai . . . I just like her comment about childhood and bliss and . . . yeah. Well, that wasnt too articulate wasnt it? I try to confuse the author when I leave feedback. It keeps them on their toes. Haha! I do like how she grinned before she said Life could be bliss, perhaps. I could see that. Maybe not a Cheshire cat grin, but a small one, very subtle.
Again with being the awesome older brother! Thane so rocks! And at the same time you feel so sorry for the guy. ::hugs Thane:: What? He looked like he needed one! Dont you think he needed one? Fine. Rai! Go hug Thane! He needs one badly!
Awww! He didnt want to go! So sweet! Thane and Rai! Heehee! I can see his sad face with those light brown eyes looking all hurt and stuff as he asked, I have to go?
::giggles:: Thane is so cute with his actions and reactions and just being the guy he is.
Okay. I liked that. I liked that a lot! It was very understated. It allowed a lot for interpretation, but I could so see her standing there and sudden realization hit her and she quietly says, oh. Not an exclamation or a shout or a cheer, just oh . . . like a light bulb just went off in her head and she suddenly sees what he meant. Cute!
Aww! You so didnt have to do that. But thank you so much for it! That really just made me feel all better. It was a very nice little present to come onto Ranger Comm to find. You are too sweet for words. Thanks so much! You know me too well. Hmm . . . I think I am too obvious. Heehee! I must be one of the very few people that gets all excited and happy for a Vanault part! Haha!
And the funny thing is that I know how opposite I am after looking at what Tigger wrote. Haha! I wanted to give him a hug after this part. ::giggles:: Like I told you in AIM once, I think I reached my psycho quota with Vanault. I cant like any more psychotic characters because he just maxes out my . . . psycho character credit card? Haha! I told you I was in a silly mood!
See! This is the Vanault I like. The one that is more . . . human, I suppose is what I was looking for. He is more mortal, more vulnerable. He is just . . . Vanault. The true Vanault. It is just really bad that he had to fall in love with Opaline instead of . . . someone else. But you cant blame him for it. Opaline was so nice and sweet, and just an attractive personality. She was always there for him. She was his best friend. You cant really blame him for loving her like that.
Although, you can blame him for jumping on the deep end like he does . . . a lot. But for some reason I still like him. ::shakes head:: I must be a glutton for punishment when it comes to Vanault. I just see the good in him. I dont want to give up on that. I bet there have been too many people that have done that to him.
::sighs::
I knew it! I knew that somewhere inside him he didnt believe that it was Merricks fault! I knew it! I knew that he was blaming Merrick to wash himself of blame. How would he be able to live with the guilt that he was the one to blame for Opalines death? He was just as much at fault for it. And he cant have that or else he would really lose it.
The use of the mirror was nice. I liked it! It reminded me of 25th Hour! That was a good movie. The scene in that movie with the mirror! That was one of my favorite scenes.
See! How can you hate Vanault when he is like that? You cant! It is almost impossible to hate him when he is so . . . vulnerable. That is Vanault! That is the reason I like him. I can see that, whenever I read Vanault. I see that and I cant hate him. Sure Ill dislike his actions. Of course I do. But I still like him.
Again! He is just . . . I cant hate that! I cant dislike that! He is like a little boy! I cant hate or dislike a little boy! I am a sucker for the little boy type of characters. The innocence in their tone, their innocent expressions . . . I cant hate that! And I like how he needed his pain to keep Opaline around him. It was just so . . . sad! It was very believable. ::nods:: He was so childlike right there.
So this should have made me want to kick him in the shins. But it didnt. I didnt want to. I mean, sure I dont like that he is still blaming an eight year-old (Merricks eight right?) for the accident. And I know that it said he was aware of what he was saying, but I also know that deep down inside he doesnt believe it. I know that he is doing his best to convince himself.
And okay! It made be angry that he did that, but I cant hate him. ::shakes head:: I really am pathetic when it comes to Vanault. I think I am pathetic when it comes to all the characters. I think I can say with a good amount of certainty that I am not representative of the population. Haha! I think most people had a reaction like Tiggers. See, I read that and I was thinking, Aww. Vanault. I know you dont mean that. But I understand why you feel that way. I just wish that you could see that it was an accident and neither you nor Merrick was at fault. You know what he needs? I think he needs to be locked in that room with Rai and the fawns now. He needs hugs! Well, hugs and a nice whap upside his head to knock some sense into him, but we all have priorities. And you know what mine are? Hugs! Spread the hugs!
Hugs for all!
I like hugs. Heehee! And now we are back to silliness. I think I am going to go before this gets really really really really long! Heehee!

PS. Sure it took a while, but you got Sugarplummed! How can I not Sugarplum you? Huh? Thats like . . . an impossibility or something. Me . . . not Sugarplum WhiteZeo? Dont speak of such silliness!

As another tear fell down her cheek, marring her face, Rai frustratingly brushed it aside her with her fingers. "Too much to do," she reminded herself; she tried conjuring up strength into her voice, but found that she couldn't. "I don't have time for this." Yet, as the words left her lips, she continued to stand steadfastly beside the window.

"She's only a child; she shouldn't know this pain. She's innocent!" he persisted, believing that he could reason away his younger sister's pain.
"A child's innocence can never last forever, though I certainly wish it did." She broke her saddened features with a grin. "Life could be bliss, perhaps."
Thane is so sweet when he is concerned about Shayla. He really is such a great older brother. Makes me want an older brother.

"You have to go," she told him reluctantly.
Instantly, a wounded look appeared upon his face and he withdrew slightly. "I have to go?" he queried; confusion, anger, and hurt all mixed into the tone his voice took.

He was the disgusting man who had killed her.
You killed her.
Vanault narrowed his gaze at his reflection, his tears having stopped awhile ago. "I didn't kill her. Merrick killed her."
You killed her.
