That has got to be the most creative idea I've ever yet heard of for torture. Whee-oo. I am more convinced than ever that the rainforest is eeeevil.
You know, with that not-too-surprising chapter about Mme Giry and why the Phantom seemed to like her, they should have gone all the way in the title. "Mme Giry Tells All! Bombshell Shocker: The Real French Government!" I mean, seriously, if Meg was Empress, then obviously, the Third Republic hasn't been established for some reason, which means she's marrying Napoleon III. That's... ick. And it's also frightening that I know more about French history than a French author for whom that history was much more recent does.
Anyway, I like dignified!Giry a lot better.
I don't care what anyone says, though. The Persian is not only essential, but also really cool.
But honestly, the only reason I posted here was so that Eo would see the thread. Have at it, Eo!
Do what you will; but I will hinder it if I may.
