Bishoujo Senshi Sailormoon
Since it was down to 80-something outside, and still Africa-hot in my apartment, I went out on the back porch last night to have a cigarette. Yes, they'll kill me, but they're taking entirely too long to go about it.
My spirit guide, a large black cat that no one in the apartment building will admit to owning, padded up.
"Piss off, Luna," I said.
The cat looked slightly affronted, then said, "I bring a warning of great dan---"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anything specific? `Don't talk to that woman, her ex is a homicidal jealous maniac'? `Don't go to that gas station, it's going to get robbed, and you'll get shot in the crossfire'? That sort of thing?"
"Er, nothing that exact, no. . ."
"More just vague, ominous portents that won't do anything but keep me up nights worrying?"
"Well, I wouldn't charactertize them that way, but. . ."
"That's what I thought. Piss off, Luna." I flicked ash in the cat's general direction.
She jumped to avoid it. "Why do you keep calling me Luna?"
"Not a big Naoko Takeuchi fan, I take it?" Flick.
Jump. "Who's Naoko Takeuchi?"
"A Nubian goddess. Piss off, Luna."
Update: changed the Takeuchi Naoko link to Anipike instead of Otaku World, but left her name wrong because I am an ignorant Westerner.
