{TwinStarFuma and Kamui (Arrival, Confrontation, Analysis)} - Five days later: Seishiro - {Five days later: Subaru and Kamui} [complete, >50% done, {<50% done}]

This reminds me eerily of math class. *g*

[akk]

Now, if I were to remind you of math class, then I'd suggest you calculate the approx. final word count from the information given. ;)

[primera]

"We weren't exactly sober at that time."

Ooooo I hope this means we get to hear more about that time Seishiro and Nokoru drank together that's been mentioned a couple times 8D I so wonder what non-sober Seishiro would be like, since he's always so in control and whatnot.

[akk]

I might write a story about their highschool / early university times at some point, but I haven't planned any definite yet. It's more a collection of events thought out for catching the dynamics between them. There's not a clear time frame attached to it (yet).

[primera]

That would be AWESOME. One of my fav parts of Decagram are the accounts of young!Seishiro. It's so interesting + you write him so well :)

[akk]

Well, there are stories planned & even partially written that involve young!Seishiro. I love writing him on occasion. However, those don't focus on his interaction with Nokoru. The two of them are kind of their respective "bad influence". Because, let's face it, Suoh is just too protective about N. to be a believable b.i. (and Akira is just too nice)! *eg*

Outro?

"We weren't exactly sober at that time." LOL, I have difficulty imagining Seishirou drunk, and so I'm super curious as to how he managed to get drunk with Nokoru. As the Americans would say, the scene would have been awesome!

[akk]

"Outro" is basically the end of a scene leading on to the next one. Kind of the opposite of an "Intro". :)

Nokoru refers to an event in their college years - a certain argument about lemons in dry martinis that has been referenced before. Basically, there are two main recipes for dry martinis, both of which can be served either with a slice of lemon on the rim, a piece of lemon (or lemon peel) in, or without any lemon at all. However, there's a long lasting argument, which variant is a _real_ dry martini (and which isn't). Given that the basic recipe is somewhere between 16 and 20 vol. per cent of alcohol content and there are 8 variants... *eg*
They might have found a solution, but they certainly weren't in a condition to remember it (and the next three days prevented them from ever repeating the experiment *eg*).

Hmm, I have to pay more attention to these snippets next time I reread, then. I just hope Subaru never gets to experience a hung over Seishirou,that's probably the scariest thing in Japan. XD

Thanks for the explanation, the word threw me off the first time I saw it because it means another or other in Portuguese, and that made no sense. I had never seen it before in English, glad to learn a new word. :)

[akk]

I'm not sure "outro" is a proper word. It's just something that came to mind when describing the opposite of an intro. I admit, I never checked whether or not it exists. :)

Actually, the "morning after the argument with the dry martinis" was mentioned in chapter 16, but it's just a made up background detail kept in mind for continuity.
