    I'm at a loss on who to cast as the fairy godmother. So I thought I'd ask you zanies for some help. Please vote your conscience; not just for who would look the silliest in a dress (although that is part of it I guess o_O;)

    Much as I would like to see Goeddel in drag for the sheer comedic value...

    After about two minutes of thought,I went through each of the candidates credentials:

    Goeddel:
    Comedic Value: High
    Value to the Plot: Nil
    Comments: I just can't stop guffawing at the mental image of Goeddel in a dress,but I can't see him in the role of the Fairy Godmother (GodGeneral?). He'd probably treat Hana like crap,and suggest that he somehow deserves living with the marionettes for eternity - not the sort of personality you'd want in a Fairy Godmother.

    Hess:
    Comedic Value: Nil
    Value to the Plot: Low-Moderate
    Comments: Frankly,there's just something disturbing about Hess in a dress - for that matter,about Hess in general. However, I could see him coming up with some weird way of simulating the Fairy Godmother's magical powers with some freaky machine or something...

    Soemon Obiichi:
    Comedic Value: Nil
    Value to the Plot: Nil
    Comments: ..................

    Panther:
    Comedic Value: Low
    Value to the Plot: Moderate
    Comments: I could see her wanting to help Hana out agianst the marionettes...

    Yang Ming:
    Comedic Value: Nil
    Value to the Plot: High
    Comments: Given his antics in J to X,I'd say that he's definately up to the kind of scheming that the Fairy Godmother role calls for. However,whether it would be a good idea to do so is another matter.

    Hikozaemon:
    Comedic Value: Low
    Value to the Plot: Nil
    Comments: I could only see him if this were a farcical comedy,which it doesn't seem to be. And,although he's a self-proclaimed party animal,and surely has done some wild things in his youth,the thought of the old guy dressing in drag... *shudders*

    None of the given options worked for me,so I had to try some of the other characters...

    Marine:
    Comedic Value: Low-High
    Value to the Plot: Nil
    Comments: Though I could see hilarity ensue from her fear of men and other aspects of her personality,I don't see her willingly going against Lime.

    Yumeji:
    Comedic Value: Very High
    Value to the Plot: High
    Comments: Now THIS is what I call classy comedy! Yumeji has the biggest potential for hilarity (YAY LUBE!) and is motivated enough (and perhaps clever enough) to pull off something of this magnitude.

    InuYasha - And that's all I have to say about that...

    Panther...

    Self-plotting against marionettes aside...

    Panther would make the funniest fairy-godmother as I see it. Her brash take on situations, and short temper form small scenes in my head...

    1st Meeting:
    HANA: Who...who are you?
    PANTHER: What? You think I'm in this getup because I like it? I'm your fairy godmother you stupid little...!

    Later in the scene:
    PANTHER: I'm here to grant your wish.
    HANA: What? You're going to marry me and Prince Otaru?
    PANTHER: Of course not! Tell you what...forget I said to make a wish. Here, I'm gonna turn this rice bowl into a pull cart and those mice of yours into pullers. And *then* you're going to that dance!
    HANA: But...what if I wanted to wish for-
    PANTHER: Stuff it! You're geting the wish and that's final!
    HANA: But-
    PANTHER: Are you listening?!

    BakaMattSu, though Inu has made quite an impressive display of arguments above me...

    This just in...

    Is it just me or is does this line of mine sound like something from a Dr. Seuss book?

    InuYasha - If so,then Dr. Seuss is probably rolling in his grave...

    No, Dr. Seuss was rolling in his grave when I wrote "Green Eggs and Hana", but I'm sure he's showing his appreciation for "Hess in a Dress" by banging his head against his coffin lid or something.

    ~ Lady Aoi: But what will he do when she finishes "How Lord Faust Stole Cuteness!"?

    Great suggestions, you two! I may actually end up giving Hana both Panther and Yumeji as god... helpers.

    Panther: He such a @#$%ing hopless case he needs two of us!

    CinderHana: Hey!

    ~ Lady Aoi: teehee
