I am so screwed for KHR Undercover.

[makeste]

SO SCREWED. I'm not sure whether to bow out entirely or just switch last-minute to a less ambitious fic, but as for the one I was working on? There is just no way in hell I will be able to finish it in time. Which is just as well, I suppose, since this way I don't have to worry about mixing up my writing style or trying to disguise it or whatever. It makes my life easier!

But probably you didn't come here to listen to me blather on about fic! You came because once again it is the weekend and time to sit around the campfire and tell scary stories to each other about Daemon Spade, the sinister man who comes in the night and stares at children with his hideous giant torso eyeballs, and who fills elevators with blood and stuff.

• ...where did we leave off last chapter. I had such a distracting week (MY CAR'S TRANSMISSION BROKE DOWN SOB SOB THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS DOWN THE DRAIN, FINE, AAMCO, GO AHEAD AND TAKE YOUR BLOOD MONEY) that all I really recall is "GIOTTO WAS A DICK" and "TSUNA BLEW THINGS UP." I'm just going to trust my memory and assume that's all that was really important.
  
• It is really fucking disturbing how he is just wearing those eyes on top of his head in the same manner that an innocent young child would wear Mickey Mouse ears at Disneyland.
  
• And man, would you just look at that crazyface! It's just the craziest ever! I mean, this is some serious grade A crazyface right here. Premium organic. He feeds it beer and massages it daily to improve the crazy quality!
  
• Oh, snap. "Your trump card is running away." Three thoughts on that:
  
  
  • EPIC BURN. High five, Tsuna, you deserve some open palm for that one!
    
  • That is actually the best trump card I have ever heard of. Seriously. Hooray for common sense trump cards!
    
  • ARE WE ABOUT TO LEARN AT LONG LAST HOW HE TELEPORTED FROM PRISON AND HOW THE VINDICE ARE CONSTANTLY JUST TELEPORTING WHEREVER THE FUCK THEY PLEASE AND HOW TELEPORTING SNUCK UP ON US ALL AND BECAME A KHR THING. Boy oh boy I hope so!
  
  
• Spatial void...? Oh fuck, is there going to be science involved here? And this arc was doing so well on ignoring (and/or MOCKING) any and all things science, too. Unlike the last arc, which was all PHYSICS TIME TRAVEL PHYSICS OTHER DIMENSIONS PHYSICS.
  
• THERE IS AN EIGHTH ATTRIBUTE FLAME AND THE VINDICE ARE ALL "NO DON'T TELL THEM!!!" ABOUT IT? HOLY SHIT, IF I HAD A PUPPY DOG TAIL IT WOULD BE WAGGING SO FURIOUSLY RIGHT NOW!
  
• Dude, Daemon, clearly you're not ashamed of ANYTHING, so what the fuck ever, man.
  
• Whoa, is this page a cheat sheet to which Vongola bosses died horrible untimely deaths and which didn't? Because I expect fandom to go wild with this if so.
  
• AND ARE THOSE HIS OTHER HOSTS? What an interesting and dastardly life you've led, D!
  
• Owlkuro, I'm pretty sure we ALL figured that one out already.
  
• And, um. ...ARE THEY JUST LETTING HIM GET AWAY??!?!
  
• Oh, good, they are not! Heh, I get such a fucking kick out of seeing Tsuna use his godmode combo flame, it is ridiculous. DO THE I'LL HOLD HIM AND YOU PUNCH THING AGAIN, TSUNA. |D
  
• OH MY GOD TSUNA
  ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS
  YOU WERE DOING SO WELL PLEASE STOP AND THINK ABOUT THIS FOR A SECOND BEFORE YOU GO AND ACT LIKE A FUCKING IDIOT X( X( X(
  
• Seriously, what? What? Does this guy seem even REMOTELY redeemable to you, Tsuna? Like, Byakuran gets incinerated with no second thoughts but Daemon "I am singlehandedly responsible for the corruption of the Vongola and the deaths of countless innocent people including the beloved younger sister of your husband Enma" Spade gets a slap on the wrist and fucking community service??
  
• AND NOW WHAT IS HE DOING. "HE SURROUNDED HIS BODY IN ENERGY TO ESCAPE" WHAT DOES THAT EVEN MEAN.
  
• Sob. Well, it's good that Tsuna's apparently gotten over that temporary lapse of sanity and is getting down to business again, but all I can think is, '...does this mean YOU WERE HOLDING BACK BEFORE?' Oh my God if he was, he is getting the silent treatment from me for like A MONTH.
  
• "HERE I COOOOOOOME"
  
• "DIEEEEE"
  
• *SHOUNEN WHOOSHING PANELS!!!!*
  
• "NUHA!!"
  
• "FINE THEN YOU CAN HAVE MUKURO'S BODY BACK! *HUFF*" Wow. I half expected him to add "I NEVER WANTED IT ANYWAY AND IT SMELLS FUNNY, SO THERE!"
  
• "OH CRAP!" Oh my god this chapter, I am LAUGHING TEARS and CRYING LAUGHTER. ;_____;
  
• BERMUDA SAVES THE DAY?! :O But before he was all like, "waaah no you guys do it!" Whatever!
  
• SHOOT HIM, TSUNA! SHOOT THE GHOST! NOW THAT MUKURO'S BODY IS INEXPLICABLY OUT OF THE FRAY SOMEHOW!
  
• I do believe this is the second "DON'T SHOOT" we've heard from Spade in this fight, and it is every bit as hilarious and ineffective as the first time.
  
• HAHA, ZIPPO DEE FREAKING DOO DAH. \o\ \o/ /o/ EXCUSE ME, EVERYONE, THERE IS JUST ONE MORE THING I NEED TO DO BEFORE I FINISH THIS CHAPTER.
  
• 
  
  
• By the way, I would just like to state that for the record, no amount of girlfriend-related tragedy will ever inspire me to feel the slightest bit of sympathy for Daemon (she said confidently in full knowledge of Amano's almighty backstory powers... but the hell with it! DO YOUR WORST, AMANO. DO YOUR WORST). That said, that picture of the guardians is totes fucking adorable, and I love how it totally mirrors that one picture of Tsuna and his guardians too. And that Yamamoto and Knuckle are once again indistinguishable. And that Lampo is all, "DERP!" And that Giotto is totally the shortest kid at the mafia party and must have never ever gotten to ride the roller coasters ever.
  
• And that not a single one of the other five guardians or Giotto has a female friend in sight, so there you have it! It is officially KHR canon that in the mafia, rather than having a one in ten chance of being gay, you have only a one in seven chance of being straight. Daemon's Girlfriend, you are officially the Hana of the Primo Generation! Congratulations, yours is a rare role indeed! Also, sorry that your boyfriend turned out to be six kinds of insane.


Sooooo, that's that, I guess! Next week we'll have our last Primo flashbacks (and I swear to God, if Spade somehow comes out the end of this arc looking like a more sympathetic character than Giotto currently does, I'll... I don't even know. Just... lol, I guess), and then some reunions with our beloved imprisoned Ryoheis and Adelheids, and then presumably we will have Tsuna and Enma's official wedding chapter... and then on to the next arc? CAN WE DO THAT? It seems so sudden. OUR LITTLE INHERITANCE ARC IS ALL GROWN UP AND OFF TO COLLEGE ALREADY? Time to grab the old photo albums and get all misty-eyed, I guess.


P.S. I am going to finish that meme! (No, really! There is a reason I didn't just jump straight to the Homestuck prompt. I AM LEAVING IT THERE AS INCENTIVE.) I just need to figure out wtf to do about fics first because orz.
