Dear Author: Wow! It sucks to be you! Today your fic is
going to have justice done to it by...
Murasaki Suishou
And The Queen of Blueberry Toast
Title: A Questionable Word
Author: Idimmu
Fandom: Weiss Side B
This is in the Weiss Side B universe, the newest Weiss series
[For some reason, the equating one part of a series with
a different universe made me think of The Great Will of the Macrocosm from
Excel Saga. Does that mean *gulp* that the puchus are coming?]. Go here
<http://thefarshore.henkei.com/index2.html> if you want lots of info/text
translations of the manga. Basically it's Aya and Ken in New York
[Home base
for KB is London, not NY] with a new group, set after Gluhen
[And some misplaced modifiers]. And despite
slightly feminine names, all the characters are male [They are? OMG!!!!]
[WTF BBQ!!!11!!]. Also
let it be noted [that I dub this land Crestview Acres.]
that this is a sort of stream of consciousness type of thing
[Which is just a fancy way of saying it's poorly written]. So don't be
surprised at the flittings between subjects... Another note after, don't want
to spoil it.
[I believe it would be impossible for you to spoil this.]
"Kerfudder [Puchu]!?"
"Yes, 'kerfudder [Puchu]'. Don't you know what that is?"
[No, I don't.] [Way not to
define who was talking and miss out on the effect of doing so. Whooo!]
"...No Ken, I can't say that I do." [And I bet you're going to torture us for
a while before you tell us.]
Ken released an exascerbated [exasperated] sigh
[which he had been holding captive for some time].
Don't people know simple
things such as this? Especially Aya. Aya is smart, he of all people should
know what 'kerfudder' means. [That sounds about as
much as Ken's inner voice as pig-on-human porn sounds like Mozart.] "I thought you were smart Aya, with all the
books, and the... books. But, but... Kerfudder
[Puchu]! It's a simple word!"
[Why is Ken always portrayed as being the dumb one of Weiss?]
[And why is he being so un-Japanese as to
talk about someone in the third person when they're present. I mean, I
can kina maybe see it, but really! This is Japanese Manners 101, people.]
Staying true to the trend of the moment [namely wearing
Mexican omelets on ones head], Aya also releases
released [The Puchus no
likey tense shifts T_T.] an exascerbated
[Buy a dictionary!] [And a
cucumber to shove up your fetid, OOC-spewing cunt!] sigh. More like
exhalesd exhaled it really, but you get the point.
[No, I don't, actually.] "Ken, I am not you. I do not know your mind,
[Except he does, as he's proven over and over again in the series. See episode
4 as an example.] but if it is anything like the kitchen after you cook, I
don't think I want to know [though snazzy, omelet hat
may have other ideas]. Moreover, despite the change from Japanese to
English for spoken language, it is still not a word when you put random sounds
and letters together. Okay?" [You are doing a grave disservice to Ken in this
'fic'.]
[Not to mention grammar whores, linguists and what of my
brain the vileness of this prose hasn't eaten away.]
If you [This breaking down of the fourth wall thing is highly annoying.]
looked into the room at that moment, you could see Ken nod
[like bobbleheads!]. At least it might
have been a nod, could've been some kind of a nervous twitch though
[as the omelete was getting cold], Aya was
giving him a slight glare. The redhead was a bit more sociable now at least.
[Glaring is sociable behavior?]
"Hey! Ken~! What are you and Aya doing [with that
tilde]?" Michel had come in to the room now
[as opposed to later. Aya's omelet was starting to reek, much like...
nah, I won't say it.],
it seemed. Free too, but you could never tell with him, he was too quiet.
[Plus, he's so short and has such an ordinary appearance, who would notice
him? :P] But if you looked close enough you could see that his vision
[attention] was oddly focused on Michel's ass. But hey, if a guy looks good in
a skirt, he looks damn good in a skirt, 'kay? [Except he wears KILTS which
aren't formfitting. And if his ass is all that gorgeous, why would it be odd
for someone to be ogling it?]
Ken smacked his forehead sharply [because he's so stupid, he forgot to take
his bagh-nakhs off first] [Let it be noted thus
was the death of Ken. But just what had- puchu -made him so forgetful?
Hmm!] Michel was very nosy [noisy?] and exuberant
[Like a cheerleader! Rah rah, go KB! Faster! KILL!!!
Don't argue about kerfudders puchus]. He was
sort of like the male version of the female Omi, however that was possible
[What the FUCK?]. Hey, things like that make at least a modicum of sense
[Oh,
yeah. Everything's clear as crystal]. But yes [no], he didn't feel like
justifying Michel's question with an answer, so he didn't.
[Umm... duh.] Crossing his arms,
he made like a stubborn three year old and stuck his nose up in the air.
[On behalf of all Ken fans everywhere...*spork spork spork*]
Aya however, did answer. "I'm trying to get Ken to tell me what 'kerfudder
[puchu]'
means. He came in here saying 'stupid piece of crap that always go kerfudder
[puchu]',
and I want to know what the hell he's talking about."
[Aya for some reason assumed that "kerfudder" was some
new-fangled sound effect for gas passing. Obviously, it had been used in
context suggesting it was a sound, as the Aya in the unhacked version of this
fic was seemingly oblivious to. Meanwhile, going along with the hack, he
rightly thought Ken was having bowel issues again. Can't have a hack
without shit. Fear the pun, baby, oh yeah.]
"Ne, Aya. That was a really long sentence..." Ken got that spacey look that
tells you he's stepping into flashback mode [Eh?]
[Waits for the proverbial instantly appearing camera
to... well, appear!]. Luckily Aya fished him out
though, I am far too lazy to think up a flashback topic at the moment
[And far
too lazy to write something decent, it seems].
[No angsty, shitty flashback for Weiss. And
they're so good at having those ;_;.]
"Would you stop avoiding the topic and tell me what 'kerfudder
[puchu]' means
already?!" [PLEASE!]
Ken snapped his fingers around his face and shook his head about
[like a pan with a proper Julia Child omelet in it, or
maybe some maracas]. Luckilly [sp] he
didn't start the hokey pokey. [Anyone who thinks
Ken dancing the hokey-pokey might actually improve this fic say "I!" if you
can open your mouth without puking.] But he had apparently adopted ghetto mannerisms
[In London?]. Maybe it was a bad idea for them to relocate to New York
[London].
"FINE, I will tell you. But only because it's you Aya." [Then why didn't he
just spit it out to begin with?]
"Yes, get on with it..." Aya refused to show his reaction to the obvious
favoritism Ken had for him. Maybe there was some special reason that Ken
followed him from Japan. [Hot sweaty man sex?]
[Is there ever a reason that trumps hot, sweaty man
sex?]
"Kerfudder [Puchu] is the sound a motorcycle makes when it is out of gas.
[Kids, can
you say 'anticlimax'?] My bike ran out of gas two blocks from here and I had
to walk it back." Ken explained all this like it was a generally known fact.
Aya blinked. [And Murasaki covered her face with her hands]
Chloe and Yuki look up briefly from their posts in the flowershop when they
heard the huge bang upstairs. [Which they hadn't
caused. Mmm, Yuki X Chloe shota seme goodness.] The shop lacks fangirls, Aya had guessed that
most of them couldn't afford to come visit them. No tears were shed over this.
[But Chloe, who had been relegated to a wobbly stool by the refrigerator
cases, looked rather mournful.]
"BAKA!!!" Aya seemed to be so annoyed he was reverting to his native language.
[Aya never insults Ken.] Good job there, KenKen...
[I'm assuming the omelet was talking there...]
"Free, what does 'baka [puchu]' mean?"
"I'll tell you when I find out." Free really is a disgrace, don't you think?
[No, actually I think he's damn sexy.] Must be
the only former Liechtenstein
citizen that doesn't know Japanese. He backed away slightly when Ken ran out
of the room, to prevent an accident of course.
"Ken no BAKA [puchu]!!"
[Puchu?] [Translation- I don't get it?]
[Puchupuchu!] [Translation-I don't get it either.]
[Pupupuchu!.] [Translation- Maybe it's a Zen thing and
there's nothing to get.]
[Puchupuchuchupu!] [Translation- Either way, the
fanficcer must SUFFER!]
Let it be noted that the puchus came, and thusly
Kryptonbrand Side B was disgraced.
