LOL, therhoda. Makes one almost want to write the 'Toy Story' version of Saiyuki. Hakkai: Sanzo, you are no human, you are an action figure. You're not on a mission to retrieve the sutra, but on the shelve of some fangirl... And that gun of yours doesn't fire real bullets. Sanzo: .... Might actually be worth a thought or two, to develope the theme... On a different note... What about the other more rarely used characters? Like, Gonou, Kanan, ChibiGojyo/Sanzo/Hakkai/Jien, Koumyo Sanzo, etc... what are they doing? What about Gojyo's mom? Did she got locked up? Household duties? Borrowed out to other Breakrooms? Dying of boredom? Is there a kindergarten in the breakroom, with all the chibis, or are they the responsibility of their peers? ;D

I go somewhat into explaining it in the TP crisis, but I'll do it here as well. The Breakroom only focuses on *one floor* ... Nii himself has found a way to permeate all floors, but he's the only one. The floor we focus on has the Sanzo-ikkou, Kou-tachi, Gaiden boys, and Homura-tachi. Another two floors have Gyokumen, Goujun, Hakuryuu, and any 'minor/major' character. Then, there are the mini-cameos, the one-episodic characters who are just barely canon. Shunrei, Houmei, and Yo fall into this category. Kanan, Raesetsunyo, Gyuumaoh, Komyou, and any other characters (such as Gojyo's stepmom) who were dead or incapacitated before the start of Gensomaden have their own floor. This doesn't count for Chin Yisou, who rooms with Rikudou on the same floor as Gyokumen. Finally, Jien and Gonou are played by Doku and Hakkai, respectively. (nono, Doku makes a -great- Gonou ) Any part of a character's past is played by that person, excepting only Goku and his chibi counterpart. That means, to play Kouryuu, Sanzo has to do a bit of morphological rearranging, but it's nothing he hasn't done before and at least this time it doesn't involve breasts. Chibis of the boys are also played by the boys themselves. All OC's certified non-Sue are part of the OC Union. They are the maids, repairmen, sometimes chefs, and the ones generally in charge of running the Breakrooms once they aren't needed for a fiction any more. They continue to exist so long as their fiction exists, even if it is only in the depths of someone's hard drive. Oh, and I got a good giggle out of the Toy Story thing ;D

Ahhh... thanks for clearing that one up. So much for Chibi Gojyo & Chibi-Sanzo duking it out... I really should write that story some day. The bunny's nagging and won't go away. And I'll probably write that Toy Story thing as one of Sanzo's nightmares after lanfing in all the toys in the Reload Kami-arc

Oh, dear, what a persistent bunny. I shall wish to see both stories when they're ready The Toy Story parody sounds particularly hilarious...there's a ton of potential there. I keep seeing Goku getting stuck dressed as Bo Peep

Wow. You really have 'The Breakroom' world thought through. I'm impressed. But why do you have a Chibi-Goku but not the others?

Very good question, Me-Nuriko. Gaiden Goku and Gensomaden Goku are so vastly different, and I think that's the main reason I decided to keep them separate. They both have different loyalties, for one. Most importantly, though, Gensomaden Goku doesn't -remember- his time in the Gaiden from the time his character is first introduced in Gensomaden. Sanzo can become Kouryuu because he remembers Kouryuu. He still hurts for Komyou, is still living the life he chose when Kouryuu became Genjo Sanzo. That's not the case with the two Gokus. They don't know one another. Both, of course, can readily become Seiten Taisei, but that is a part of Gensomaden Goku that he can't 'forget'. Plus, I'd never -dream- of depriving Konzen of his own Goku. I fear the Gaiden guys would get jealous Not to mention the singular Goku entity would be exhausted from having to be in -every- fic that mentions his name, give or take five hundred years. Honestly, though, don't give me credit for thinking things through. I've gotten lucky in that things have fallen into place. Take "The Great Toilet Paper Crisis" - its ending didn't come to me until around twenty minutes ago. We'll call that one 'subconscious foreshadowing.'

In case no one is checking. The new chapter came out in breakroom today. IT is choice. Sad thing is due to virusness karot won't be around much.
I really enjoyed the Shakespeare in chapter 21, not to mention the whole gaiden and gang get plowed together thing. Chibi Goku is just to cute!

Well, author alert is a good thing. I'm surprised it's not used more. With Karot on my author alert list I never miss a new chapter of the Breakroom. ;D I really loved this chapter. Very, very funny.

Outside of some weird Transformers image flickering through my head, I drew blank, sorry. BTW, I just had that whacko idea for Konzen's birthday... How about if one of the guys gives him a framed sheet of TP? Reminds me... what about the fics where Saiyuki is a TV show and the characters "escaped" from it? And don't the characters suffer instant amnesia about all the evil they suffer in the world of fanfiction once they are back in their original format in 'mom's' manga? That would make a nice scene, them coming back from a manga, and slowly starting to remember that they are in the Breakroom reality once more... Sanzo: "Talk about having a 'Real life'..."
