Luckenhaft chapter 4 . 2/8
I don't think I was going to review again until I could come up with a funny skit like the last one.

Then the Marianne bit happened.

My thoughts when Marianne talked about Lulu, Nunna, Euphie, and Nelly being her children, "This bitch is crazy."

My thoughts when Marianne talked about not getting Anya knocked up, "Well at least you are showing some degree of courtesy to the young girl you are latched onto and controlling like some sort of alien parasite."

Then I thought about Lulu's reaction to his mom being a loli and his uncle being a shota followed by Lulu wondering if Marianne and Charlie ever did things whilst she was in Anya's body which would lead to Marianne explaining that whenever she and Charlie feel that itch they go to C's world and he gets it on in God's domain with a ghost.

There was also me wondering what would happen if
someone forced Marianne to use her Geass on a Bug and then gouged the bug's eyes out.

Finally for that thought process, I contemplated a skit where some whackjob moron priests discovers Anyaxs been possessed by a 'demon's and tries to perform an exorcism on her.

I brushed past the bit where she talked about witnessing Charlie conceive his many other children with his many other concubines and paused at the bit where Marianne talked about how well Clovis turned out because of her. My thoughts then, "Maybe Lelouch and Nunally should be grated that V.V. caused the series of events that got them sent to Japan and away from Marianne."

Then she talked about how often her 'four' kids apparently walked in on her and Charlie getting on and I thought, "Lulu definitely needs to send V.V. a thank you card for murdering his mom."

I was pretty much in agreement with C.C. that she should direct Marianne to go annoy someone else when she talked about Cornelia possibly being more attracted to her after all the times she walked in on her and Charlie together.

Seriously how does Charlie and her get together so after that Marianne's 'four' kids have all been able to walk in on the two of them enough times that the occasions are in the hundreds range with said occasions being separate events in which the kids weren't together when they witnessed the horror of their parent's getting together?

Marianne must have gotten a procedure done so she can't have kids anymore in her original body.

What the feck are you even talking about when it comes to Jelly Donuts?

Still I quite liked that bit where Lulu went on a tangent about Superman and Percy Jackson and Britannian cinema.

That password is too long Marianne, and that is the only problem with it that I'm willing to address.

The sad thing is that I kind of do ship Nunna and Alice but it was not because of that scene.

Was Alice in this one fanfic that has since stopped updating for... Has it been a year? I just remember it disappeared from the site and after a while Lelouch learned Nunally has a Geass that let's her travel back through time and she's from the end of the series and has used her knowledge to change things for Lulu's benefit. I think.

It's been so long I can barely remember the details or name of it.

I think Alice is in SeerKing's Prepared Rebellion. Or am I thinking of Lelouch and the Wings of Rebellion?

This is going to be bugging me for a while now.

My point, I sort of get Marianne's logic that Alice would make a good wife for Nunnally after witnessing her kill a kid.

Vaguely. I have a bit of a weird preference in what sort of romantic gestures or what I will interpret as romantic gestures move me.

'this person desperately needs money for this girl, I'm going to love breaking their hearts and ruining their lives and dangle an even bigger carrot at them' Kudos to you for this line. It evoked strong yearnings in me to want to punch the Britannian who thinks this way in the face.

"Milly must never know and he could trust Nunnally to keep quiet more than anyone else." It was this moment that it really sunk in for me where Lulu AND Nunna are AND where Lulu thought bringing his sister to was a good ideal. What the fuck, Lelouch. (Should I use a ? there or a !, or a !? I'm not sure which one properly encapsulates my exasperation.)

"Speaking of hiding evidence that geassed delivery man should have put the concrete mixer in a convenient location by about now." It took me a second to realize what the delivery man is helping you hide. And now milly disturbs me with her determination to find stuff Lelouch would prefer she didn't find.

Oh god, it's Orange Boy! Run Lulu before he screams about loyalty and decommissions Kallen's (or was it C.C.) Knightmare with lightning conjured by his Stand.

That moment when Nunna references that bit where a girl and a table really love each other and poor Lulu doesn't know what she's talking about.

"We're all somebody. Ms. Fenette, you are more like your hero than you realize. You even look like her somewhat…" ...Oh shit.

...

"The passing second felt like an hour before he stood up." Cue relieved, nervous, slightly scared laughter.

"Cecile Croomy: Doesn't get nearly enough screen time in fic." Well there's only one way to rectify this.

"Shirley Fenette: The only one without a tragic backstory." That can be rectified.

"Jeralt: Rolo can't try to kill everyone. Red shirt." In my head, I pictured Jiraiya's English VA voicing this kid because of a Fire Emblem Dad of the same name as this character who Jiraiya's English VA voices. That led to a weird mental image of a kid with a grown man's head and voice.

"Nunnally Lamperouge/Vi Britannia: Does not like being compared to a table." I shouldn't find this funny, so I blame Nina for finding it funny.

Also that passing comment where Marianne considered Nina an option for Lulu shall be brought up here as evidence that I have weird Shipping preferences.

"Jeremiah Gottwald: May one day kick himself over chapter 4." I eagerly await that day.

I like the cut of Pyrrhus's job. He seems like a pretty cool dude that I imagine Lelouch would get along with.

I hope I'm not wrong and I have feeling circumstances would lead to the two having a mortal enemies in this life but so similar they probably could have gotten along well in another life dynamic.

Kind of like Edelgard and Rhea from the Fire Emblem game I mentioned Jeralt was in.

Similarly in my head I picture Pyrrhus as being similar to Ferdinand von Aegir from that game and attach that character's English VA's voice to Pyrrhus whenever I read his lines.

I tend to attach voices to characters I read based off of voices for other characters I think the voice would fit with.

To provide a bit of detail about Ferdinand von Aegir, he's a bit of a ham whose popularity in the fandom for the games may tie into the many memes associated with him. (One such meme is, "I am Ferdinand von Aegir" which is why I always refer to him by his full name.)

I like him because of his sense of noblesse oblige if I'm scratching the tip of the iceberg.

And to that explanation about why Marianne is a weirdo, I still think Clovis's mom would want to stab her with a kitchen knife for sinking her claws in Clovis and trying to take her place as his mother.

I'm afraid to imagine how much of a weirdo Charlie is like.

I'm liking Pyrrhus and Azora and hope to see more of them.

Damn Marianne is crazy.

Laughed when Nunnally got compared to a table and her reaction.

Laughed even harder towards the entirety of Orange's scene XD

I'm just getting ready to see some slaughtering.

Looks like Lelouch is going to have plan for invasion of Japan 2 electric boogaloo.

Well looks like Reginald is going to throw the molotov at the pool of gasoline.
Guest chapter 3 . 1/9
So Charles, Schneizel, and Odysseus' death was an accident caused by a Duke's attempt to murder a Minister...LOL. And the E.U attacks as soon as Guinevere tries to make some plans to keep her and Carine in power. Talk about crap timing. Approximately two hundred children and less then ninety remain with the numbers still declining while two are still in hiding. No wonder being a Britannian royal sucked.
Meanwhile, Euphemia found out about Lelouch's dual identities as Zero and as a normal student just by deciphering Jeremiah and Villetta's interrogation on Suzaku. The girl is definitely smart and Lelouch should not try to underestimate her. Speaking of the Purests, they almost went on a Lulu hunt and said boy is trying to win more money for Ashford in preparation for the upcoming chaos caused by the possible infighting between royals and their servants. Bless Suzaku for having Euphie take the heat off of him. And he was successful in warning Lelouch about the Purebloods.
On Lelouch's end, things are really getting problematic because the Purebloods are curious about him and the (certain) possibility that Euphie knows who he is. Preparing for the incoming conflict as both identities has to be stressful combined with Kallen finding out about his royal secret. He really is reeling from the fact that he as much as he try, there's a part of him that couldn't hate several of his siblings regardless of their crimes and having his revenge denied. The guy really needs a break next chapter as well as a positive outlet outside of beating arrogant nobles at chess and spending time with his sister.
Gambling with Shirley of all people tagging along. That's something I need to see XD. Never thought I see a fic that has Miss Fenette be on a gambling trip with her Lulu. By the way, while G Gundam is awesome, 00 is just as good baring the movie. And Suzaku being a One Piece fan is hilarious as well as the Char comparisons. I'm surprised the Black Knights didn't make jokes about their leader's voice being similar to that of two certain game/anime protagonists that wield swords, have dark powers, and a orange haired girl that's in love with them (Nero from Devil May Cry and Ichigo Kurosaki from Bleach)lol. I can't wait to see what's next.
Tendragos chapter 3 . 1/8
You know, I wonder how long it will take Tamaki to realize that Knightmares are really just small, earthbound (for now) Gundams. That would be hilarious if he ended up building a real Gundam and actually fought well in it.

Thanks for writing!

You also totally missed a Gundam Meme I hope you will employ later:

That Domon Kasshu is Kallen's real father and her mother's real name is Rain Mikamura-Kasshu.

It's a running joke. Kallen has the same personality, hair style, choice in skin tight clothing, and finishing move as Domon does. It should also be noted that Rain's seiyuu was also the same seiyuu for Kallen's mother as well. Which is pretty funny.

There's also a bit of where Kallen and Lelouch's seiyuus were also the voices of a main pairing in the series Spice and Wolf.
Luckenhaft chapter 3 . 1/6
Lelouch tells Milly his father is dead.

Lelouch: For years my evil machinations lay undetected waiting for the moment I would take revenge on father.

Milly: Lulu, what's with the hammy villain voice? And the gag glasses with a mustache over the eye patch.

Lelouch: For I am a Master of deception, an unparalleled genius beyond compare.

Milly: Lelouch? You're kind of scaring me.

Lelouch: There is not a single variable in this world I did not account for in my schemes, except for... (The camera zooms in on Lelouch's face as he glares intensely into empty space as Milly follows his gaze.)

Milly: What the wall do to piss you Mister Vice President?

Lelouch: Baked goods...

Milly: (Blinks baffled not sure if she heard that correctly.) What?

Lelouch: (Slams his fist down on the table.) BAKED GOOOOOOODS!

Milly: (Looks around freaked out.) Lulu, these walls are soundproofed, right.

Lelouch: (Breaks out of his megalomania for a minute.) Of course they are. I soundproofed them after that one time Nunally overheard you seducing Nina.

Milly: (Blushed embarrassed recalling Nunally asking her the next day in front of the whole Student Council if she doesn't have to worry about Milly wanting to steal her brother from Shirley anymore.) Sorry about that.

Lelouch: (Gets back to his monologuing.) For a decade I have waited to exact vengeance upon my father only to have baked goods steal my vengeance from me!

Milly: (Gives Lelouch a flat look finding it ridiculous that old Charlie could die in such a manner.) The Emperor died from eating cookies?

Lelouch: I swear on my mother's grave, (Meanwhile in Pendragon a little girl sneezed.) I shall seek vengeance on all baked goods in this world for denying me the cathartic joy of strangling the life out of that bastard's flabby neck! (Lelouch uttered that last part with an unhinged smile.)

Milly decided to punch Lelouch in the arm, earning an ouchie from him as he threw Milly a betrayed look that would fit better on a child than the leader of the Black Knights.

Lelouch: Owww! Milly, what the hell?

Milly: Lulu, you can barely do a pull up in gym class. I can't see you strangling the Emperor to death. He would curbstomp the shit out of you if it came down to a contest of strength between the two of you.

Lelouch: (Pouts.) Thanks for the vote of confidence Milly.

Milly: Just trying to keep you grounded in reality here.

Lelouch: I'm still going to get my revenge on the baked goods though.

Milly: I'm probably going to regret asking this, but how exactly are you going to do that?

Lelouch: I'm still in the planning stages for the scheme, but I've considered taking all the baked goods in this world and putting them into a pizza to feed this immortal pizza-loving old hag I met recently. (A wicked grin spread on Lelouch's face.) Either that or I'll stick them all in a sakuradite rocket that I'll blast into space.

Milly decided to slap across the face.

Lelouch: (Hisses in pain as he clutches the red hand print on his face, tears on the edge of his eyes.) What was that for?

Milly: I don't think you're processing your father's death well.

Lelouch: I am handling that man's death as well as any other person would.

Milly: (Gives the beanpole prince another flat stare.) You're swearing vengeance on cookies and muffins.

Lelouch: Don't forget the bagels. The bagels can't be trusted. They try to decieve into mistaking them for donuts, but they have no taste! No taste!

Milly: (Sighs as Lelouch starts monologuing about how bagels are the evillest of baked goods right after pancakes.) I don't get paid enough to deal with this crap.

Meanwhile with V.V. and Rolo...

Rolo: I suddenly have a hankering for delicious pancakes.

V.V.: Forget your pancakes Rolo! Now is not the time! Somehow that Lelouch is behind my dear brother's sudden demise. I just know it! Or maybe it was that harlot Charlie loved for some reason whose pretending to be a little girl? Someone will pay for taking my Charlie from me! Even if I have to make the whole world burn to find them!

Rolo: (Sighs as he takes a bite from a bagel as V.V. goes into a long monologue of how he's going to strangle the life out of whoever killed Charlie in his current unaging dimunitive and physically unimpressive state.) Ah shit, here we go again.

V.V.: There is one party I've already taken steps to get my vengeance on. The baked goods of this wretched world will know my wrath! Mwahahahahahahahaha!

am i the only one who already hate Phyrus ? the guys still see the world beetween britannian and numbers, eccept that he is ready to reduce to slavery members of his people. britannians are a people, a culture, not a therm to seperate the "elite" from the "rable", so he do not respect his people nor the others people of the world. he denied their cultures, differences and existence outside of the empire, he is NOT the one i want as the next emperor

The Gundam and One Piece stuff are good, feels like they fit in this story for some reason and were pretty good breaks in the narrative
