This would probably be angst if I weren't writing about telepathic dragons in the other window.

When they do obituaries for people who have done something big and important, the fourth paragraph or so starts, "It all started with [a story his five-year-old daughter told him/an idle thought during a TV show/a slight sports-related urethra injury/other innocuous things, I'm tired right now, okay]." I was reading one today and not totally paying attention, and thought the "it" in "it all started" meant the guy's death, like the "casual comment made by his wife" set off a disturbing chain of events that culminated in the discovery that his life had been meaningless, and he declined, shattered, into a state of gray apathy fading into a dry death indistinguishable from any other moment.

Haha, that Junichiro Tanizaki sure was a funny guy. OMGWTF. I actually couldn't remember what that acronym meant for a second just now.

So what do you think, is it really in character for the Imperial Wind Dragon to *help* bury the Mad King alive? I'm still thinking he might back off and leave the mafiosi dude to it, not dirty his talons and all.
