This is an archive, because ff.net does not allow replies. And although it's looked over a lot, I'm not going to push it when I can have it here. Replys are listed in alphabetical order. Only replys to fanfiction.net are shown, as I started posting up LH over there first and thus replied over there first.
It is literally copy'n'paste from my chapters -- therefore, these are the replies posted on the chapter. Thus the section labeled "Chapter 7" means replies that were posted on ff.net on chapter 7, meaning replies to reviews on Chapter 6 (or any new ones below). It just makes archiving easier, 'cause it's in "time" order. If you changed your penname after posting, it is most likely not reflected here.
Chapter 16
A lilmatchgirl: Well, yes and no. It's more like part
of the loophole I mentioned. And yes, Bakura was not featured in this
chapter...rest assured he will be in the sequel.
Amiasha Ruri: Oh wow, someone liked the Sybil scene? Goodie,
I thought that part was kinda awkward...I didn't know I could pull off a young
girl angel @_@... Hope this chapter was a good, final chapter.
Bittersweet: Hm...Dan Brown? He's the one with the Da
Vinci Code, yes? No, haven't read that yet, but I have browsed the one
involving the ultimate password thingy. Pretty interesting. And yes...I am trying
to write a novel. And yes, I do plan to use elements from Lethally Hot.
Should be interesting if it does get published. XD The precious, preciousssss
bloooood...
Chiwizard: *laughs* Yes, I throw in the weirdest
references. LotR roxxors my soxxors. XD Alas, for LH is indeed finished.
Computerfreak101: If I were smart, I wouldn't be
failing chemistry right now...>>...I'm just a big bookworm obsessed with
Ebola. XD
Dark Kuriboh Empire: Yeah...chapter 15 was kinda slow.
So was chapter 16. I just can't do endings. I mean, I want this like, explosive
ending or whatever (Yami: O_O) but it just...would not...work. Arg. Yes, I'm a softy at heart. XD *hands over a cookie* Thanks. Because without you, Lethally Hot would've been a lot duller.
Galleria: But doctors are always confused. See,
they're always trying to diagnose weird afflictions and diseases...XD
Keeper of the Times: And thank you to you as well.
Mugendai: ...I love you too. ^^ I just want to give you a uber-big thanks. Your reviews are so thoughtful and you've been with me ever since...wow...Duelist Combat, which was one of the first fics I ever wrote.
padfootgrl126: *laughs* Then you should like the
bloopers and cut-outs, when they're posted as well.
SeleceRAZ: Updated!
Shadu: *laughs* Another one converted to the Hot
Zone, ne? Thanks.
Silvershadowfire: *laughs* Another fan of Mercedes,
then? Heralds of Valdemar only, or are you also into Bardic tales, Elemental
Masters, and the sort? Yes, sadly I used Oathbreaker as a reference...I'm
terrible at battle scenes. That's why I used Oathbreakers as a reference. It should be fixed now. >> Though the battle scene is still terrible. Write any fanfics on Mercedes? I plan to...in my infinite free time, of course. *laughs* On Bakura:
his role is later. Let's just say he was royally pounded and is not able/does
not wish to cause any more disturbances on his plan to Trump the Pharaoh. Oh, and I want to especially thank you. For pointing out the little things. ^^
Skittles the Sugar Fairy:
Yami: I can think of a few other words: Torture, extortion, pain, blood--
Toboe LoneWolf: >> That's enough.
takuya: *laughs* Well, I'm late as well, so we can be
late-people together, ne? XD Hyela, you've been reviewing ever since chapter 3, right? *smiles* Thanks. For staying with me.
Wormapple: Bwah? Literature? *laughs* In no way am I
part of the literary greats. I am merely a drop in the pond. *grins* That
doesn't mean I can try. XD Numbero seven, the perfect number. I like putting in
references like these.
XxxMe Meed A LifeXxX: *laughs* Well, the science
melds with magic, and needless to say, it does get complicated...but it all works
out in the end.
Chapter 15
A lilmatchgirl (Hmm, perceptive. No, he isn't Bakura, but Marad is not the "only" survivor of Kuruenla. Only of his family. And status.), Ahmar (Yes, I am nuts. This has been confirmed world-wide. XD), bast4, chinkeepdaughter126, Computerfreak101, Dark Kuriboh Empire (He liiiiives!!! XD), DeMoNiCAnGe121, HiroKara (AWESOME VIDEO! XD), justareviewer (Ah, but it's the worrying that makes me better...sort of...), Keeper of the Times, Lara Chubb of Deephollow, Manders1953, Mugendai (I'm sorry to say I missed it. Feh, and ffnet is being picky. I don't have LJ, nor am I likely to, since I'm not big on signing up for stuff I won't use much. Bwah? Tauk? Fine then, but you'd better send me an essay telling me why. XD), my tourniquet, Phoenix, S.K. Hashmi (Well, being able to drain all emotion is part of being Game King. XD), Seleceryu, Shadu, Shibby-One (No, he's not dead. But there's still ramifications...), Shoia (Three months is better. Right?), Silvershadowfire (Aw, man...someone found me out. Kudos to you; it was like, three sentences, how'd you do that? Though it's another thing for the revision...), Sylvia Viridian (Kaiba's next time. Delayed reactions and all.)
Chapter 14
A lilmatchgirl, Computer 101, Dark Kuriboh Empire, (aha! Kudos to you! I found the dictionaries on the Internet. Thus why I doubt accuracy. ...And to you I say, sére, eldaser.) Hales 731 (yep!), HiddenInTheNight, inuyasha0001, justareviewer, KB!, Kyle Broflovski, Lara Chubb of Deephollow, mariko, Moonlight-Magician, Mugendai (yeah...and this was the end of the seventh chapters. As for Kisara...where I have placed this "disease arc" puts it before Kisara's entrance. And that is all I will say for now. -winks-), S.K. Hashmi (Well, Bakura's out in present, and as you see, he didn't appear in the past at this time...but...not saying anymore.), Saiyan Jedi, shadow/phantomness, Shadu, Shibby-One, Silver Dragon, Iron Claws, Silvershadowfire (-blinks- Silver...eyes? XD), Sliders202 (I did it!), someone, Sonicyugishadow, Sylvia Viridian, Towairaito Zoon (ehee...yes...long wait...).
Congrats to the four reviewers who knew what language I was referring to...Dark Kuriboh Empire, Sylvia Viridian, Silver Dragon, Iron Claws, and Saiyan Jedi. You four have much saila. -winks-
(Side note) Major apologies to justareviewer. Um...your e-mail address didn't make it through the fanfiction(dot)net pulverizer. It got killed after the "at" symbol. Put a space after the "at" and I think it'll work.
On that note...seriously guys, I am open to all e-mails or instant messages. Even if it looks like I am a mad torturer bent on spreading Ebola to the world in this fic, I will not flame you to little burnt pieces for trying to contact me. On AIM I'm kapumt, and I'm planning to get a hotmail account when I get to college. Due to fanfiction(dot)net restrictions I can't reply in depth like I want to...any questions, comments, all-around-bugging is free to come (just not spam, viruses, or worms XD). (waves to Slider202) Heyla! See? Up like I told you! ...In ages... XD
Chapter 13
angelbrite2003: Well, this time you only had to wait a month! (Djanil: Only a month she says...)
blue_soljah: I always, always finish fics. Sometime in my lifetime. XD
DarkChao1663: ...*blinks* "Hard to read?" How? The shifting of POVs and cut-off sentences? ...Er...well then, this chapter must've been even harder. ^_^;;;;; Hope it was still okay! Whee! Thanks!
Dark Kuriboh Empire: Yes, I am twisted. Behold my twistedness. Fear. ...The truth sometimes, though, is scarier than fiction. 'Sides, The Hot Zone isn't all gory. Just...scary. XD
Hales731: Yep, you got it! Kudos to you! *hands out cookies* ^_~ Glad to know there's a reader out there who actually searches for the hidden symbols I put in. Sybil came from a reviewer's choice 'cause the review won a mini-contest; liked the name for the character I needed that chapter. ^_~ To laugh, to cry, to utter shock from goriness...yes, the results of my twisted mind ...XD
hobbit13: Well, now you have. Ah, the wonders of imagination... Oh man, if someone actually drew something of that, I would faint too. I was laughing so hard when I wrote that...and before that when I got the idea and after that when I went to bed and I had some really wacko dreams that night... XD Yea, the Sybil thing worked! Don't want this to be too depressing or too gross. ('Course, I think I passed the borderline here and there...^^;;;)
inuyasha0001: Er...nope...memory is next chappie. Kaiba's door is...special. Sorry!
Isis-san: Well...blood loss was not a major point of this chappie, 'kay? No no no, the American Red Cross would not want Yami's blood, 'cause it's contaminated with deadly virus. Hope Yugi was sufficiently strong in this chapter too. Dunno if I pulled it off.
justareviewer: Er...I didn't get your e-mail. The medical notes are all still there; they're just squashed together so it's easier to skip past them if you don't want them. Woot! School project, Ebola, yeah! Oh. My. Word. I got a teacher addicted to YGO?!? XD Rock on! *sweatdrop* Now, how your bio teacher got into YGO, which has no biology links whatsoever except through this fic, is like, amazing... Actually, it could be "Shimon" or "Simon." Some websites have the "h" and some don't. I figure, hey, leave the "h" in and either it's the "right" name or Yami's got slurred speech due to some...medical problems. *evil grin*
Lara Chubb of Deephollow: Wai! One of my favs too! It's such a sad song, but this great cry out for help...
lilmatchgirl007: Bakura should be a sports announcer, hey? For...WWF, though. XD I like keeping LH balanced...sad at parts, and funny, and what would YGO be without magic?
Mariel1337: Well, this chap isn't as long...but it sure was complicated for me. Hope you liked!
Mugendai: Yes, they will appear more, either in next chapter or the one after that. And the door's inscription has been revealed. -_- I am so bad at making those things. Yeah, the Sybil thing was weird...I didn't know the entomology of the name until after I wrote the section and I went, whoa... Kisara is a bit too far forward in the timeline for this. I think. *covers head* Cliffies make chapters shorter and writing shorter! Really! (Djanil: *rolls eyes* Really...)
Red the Lupine Dragon: Well, by now it's probably more like five times, but now you're hardened against the gore, right? Right? Definitely keepin' it up!
S.K.Hashmi: Ah. Well, Kaiba's not as demented in this chapter, I hope. No, Stephen King has nothing to do with Sybil. Gore...XD perhaps. Yeah, on average Ebola symptoms come around seven days and die within two weeks; 'course this strain is different. I guess the clothes things was OOC, but hey...it was funny.
Saiyan Jedi: Pain is pleasure. XD Yeah...the paragraph thing was the idea...it was wacked out, wasn't it. Pulling in more characters, don't worry!
shadow/phantomness: Er...it's kind of canon Ancient Egypt. It's more like, canon with some extra bits. Nothing changed, just...added. Like a bit of dead people here, some Ravager here, crazed Thief Bakura there, ya know. ^^;
Shibby-One: Well, I've answered some questions and opened others. I just love questions, don't you? Yea! Plushies! Kwee!
Silver Dragon, Iron Claws: Sybil is the name of a character in one of my previous fics. Name same; character different. Kinda. Who she is exactly? ^^ Later explanation!
Silvershadowfire: Noooo! Not Ravie! Not precious! I updated, see? ^^ Yea! Originality! Love it!
Swif: Er...yes? *tiptoes away*
takuya: Hope this chapter was interesting as well! Updated, like you asked!
Yugioh/Potter/Pokemon fan: *sweatdrop* Soon. Yep. Right. Well, now there were lots of mini-cliffees, since the memory's gonna be...wow...wonkers...
Chapter 12
Therefore, A HUGE HAPPY THANKS to Hales731, shadow/phantomness, Peggi, Swif, Good Question, Lara Chubb of Deephollow, Sylvia Viridian (*patpat* It's okay), DarkChao1663, Red the Lupine Dragon, CDRW, takuya, Lanane (aka Syra Lebru), hobbit13 (Sorry! There is a reason!), Jennilyn Maxwell, Isis-san, S.K. Hashmi (are you in college? Wanna know what's like), inuyasha0001, Saiyan Jedi, Silver Dragon Iron Claws (aka SilverDrgnbane ^^), Ybewd (O_o A name lot shorter than before, eh?) Towairaito Zoon, Shibby-One, Mugendai, and Lome Roquen.
^_^ Hey! You're the first one to pick that up! Yes, it was based on the "Ask, Seek, Knock." Did you pick up on this chapter's reference? O_o Fast pace? Er...once every three months is fast? >.< Well, at least the plot line's fast then, even though I'm not. Gee...I either extremely disturb or extremely, uh, "please" people with this fic. Um...Ebola is gory no matter how you try to downplay it, so ^_^;;. Mucho thanks for the realistic. I try. Aw, you lost your graphing calc? Pooey. (All those games most likely on there as well...) O_O No way!!! Japanese, French and Elvish?!?! I wanna learn elvish!!! (And the other two languages, but elvish most of all.) How'd you learn??? XD Morbid is good, yes? Funfun, muchmuch. Yep, no yaoi. Thanks for reviewing, nice to know there are people out there who actually do (Djanil: *whack*). Actually, the description of a yami's soul room was based off of something else I've read; don't remember, but yeah... Er... Syra's your conscience? That's new. It's either yami, muse, or hikari... ah well. O_O No. Way. Fanart?!?! Someone wants to do fanart?!? WOW!!! Totally YEAH!! Actually, I have done some art of the Ravager, so I kinda have an idea now...you wanna pic? Though I don't know any of any fanart sites (that don't require me to sign up, 'cause I'd never update). Seriously though, I wanna see other people's view on the Ravager! *winces* Jou died...'cause...I said so? *sees the pitchforks* Er...there is a reason!! Except...it's like in...two chapters. *winces* Here, a hint. There is a pattern. There is a reason, and a motive. Think of weaknesses. And Bakura can't die 'cause he's already dead. XD But yes, he will be dealt with. Hey, what's Microbiology like? ('cause I'm going to major in that too...so...just wondering.) The other two words were "moon" and "you." Gee, you kinda summarized this fic and its responses very nicely. "Sadistic pleasure is both a blessing and a curse in this fic." Er...don't be late to work. 'Cause it'll still be there, I take too long to update anyway. I'M ALIVE!! XD Thanks for the Japanese corrections. Er...and yeah, if you're thinking what I was thinking, the Keni deal is well, you know. XD It's Fate. I do have msn messenger, I just...never use it. Name's kapumt.
Chapter 11
ACME-Rian: Oooh, where? Me wanna read! ^^
Amiasha Ruri: Well, here's more! Glad I could put "amusing" into something dark like Lethally Hot.
Angelbrite2003: >> I'm sorry about the "not" quickly. I do have an update section in my bio though. >> Not that it makes you feel any better. And yeah, LH is sad, but I try to put in funny parts too.
bast4: Wow, you picked up on that! Kudos to you! *vague hint* Well yeah, one microphage is missing, but it's been a while since it's been released. All will be explained later. (Much later.)
Charan-Amaya: *raises fist* Geek Power! Yea! ^^;;; Sorry, I tried to continue, but since I'm a geek, I studied for SATs and ACTs and finals and APs and those are good things...for me...So, if you've studied Ebola, am I factually correct? ^^ Must make sure I've got it right!
DarkChao1663: Aww, it's okay. Hey, there's more than one way to skin a cat, right? ^^
Ente: ^^ I cannot say what Bakura's role is. I can say that it's "bad." Yes, pleasant dreams. They are quite pleasant. I love those dreams, so pretty in red liquid dots all over the place, don't you think? (Djanil: LoneWolf16, you're becoming disturbing... LoneWolf16: ^^;; Ah. Right.)
High Crystal Guardian: "Ahou" means fool in Japanese. I know that Bakura never literally uses this term, but I like "Ahou" better; shorter and a pun on "aibou." *winces* Yeah, I'm pretty bad at description...probably because I myself am not definite on how the Ravager looks. I kind of want the Ravager to be mysterious. *sweatdrop* I'm working on it and it's forming to be snake/dragon-like...with leather...O.o... *sweatdrop* But then again, I'm a bad artist (I'm not kidding either, I draw stick figures). Loisha is a minor OC; he's the cranky old priest dude in chp 7 that hated change. My Egyptian was picked up here and there; mostly learned via books and web sites. Type in 'Egyptian language' or some variation of that and there's tons of info. ^.~ *winces* Sorry about my writing style too. I have varied writing styles depending on the tone, my particular mood at the moment, and also because I tend to write several fics at the same time (which are also in different genres). Something as long as Lethally Hot is hard for me to keep in one style due to the many genres that LH has in it. When I go into "humor mode" I tend to write in script format, probably because my main humor fic (Bible Stories, YGO Style) is in script format. I'll try to make it smoother though.
hobbit13: Yeah, updates by me are a phenomenon. And yes, I am enjoying the character's discomfort. Ah, the joys of being the author and having Complete and Total Control over your characters. (Yugi: HEY!) ^^;;; Bakura wouldn't die because he's connected to the Ring, which is connected to Ryou, who can bail out of Yami's mind if Shadi acts quickly enough. I think. ^^
Isis-san: I cannot say if Yami will eventually die. He didn't die this chapter though! ^^
Jennilyn Maxwell: Oh, ikkle Bakura feels all better? (Bakura: *glares*) Naww, don't feel better, 'cause Bakura's gotta do some...things...for me first...
Lara Chubb of Deephollow: Pain is the least of it. ^^ There's so much that can be done! And hope you and your friend are not dead, because I did take a long time updating, but rest assured that I do finish what I start. Just, um, slowly...
Ms. Zeal: ^^ I do different! >> Bakura is definitely not helping them. I'll elaborate on Bakura's role in all of this, past and present, much later. ^^ Flashbacks from good ol' Biology! Yea! I love it, and glad it shows!
Mugendai: Oh. Where did you learn that? I've usually seen only Tauk (manga-readers) or Necklace (anime-watchers). Kaiba is stubborn but not stupid; he wouldn't jump off a cliff without help. Although I suppose you do have a point with Shadi. *winces* Wow, plot-holes. The bane of writers everywhere. *desperately tries to plug it* Um, the bloodstains on the hilt are dried; viruses can't survive very well when it's dried/exposed to sunlight. Plus, Yami's magic would be protecting him, like in chp 6 when Mahado talks about how his weaker magicians died because of their weaker magical defense. Glad you liked the song and thought it was heartwarming. >> Other people think depressing... ^^;;;
S.K Hashmi: Buy the book! Save money! ^^ I wouldn't say Lethally Hot is better than The Hot Zone, though. But at least I can quote well, or the best parts, anyway! And I don't know if you'd pick your major because of this fic. I mean, is this fic really that monumental? ... On second thought, I picked biology as well because of The Hot Zone... Naaw, Bakura's not gonna die...I've got plans.
Saiyan Jedi: Muhaha, "Act of God." Almighty Destruction. WOW, your school requires the Hot Zone!?! *shining eyes* What a great school! >> My teachers were leery of it...
Shibby-One: Hey, I got one description okay! (Yami: >> You call that okay?!?) O.o Never thought the Egyptian gods would be eager for Yami's death though... No, there is no limit to how long a review can be. ^^
Silver Dragon, Iron Claws: Hmm, blood and mental anxiety? I think I can do that. ^^ And a disease-related fic? Woot! Definitely wanna know more. ^_^ Lots of ideas!!
Sorceress Vanessa: ^_^ Aw, but Yami's got a big mind! He can afford to lose it! (Yami: O_O) And Ebola, unfortunately, is a very rare disease, you'll be okay, unless you're in Africa. Then you're not-so-okay. ^^;;;
Syra Lebru: What? Ebola is not affecting you? Of course it is! You're reading this fic, right? Therefore, it does affect you! And I don't know how this fic could make you feel better...Lethally Hot is kind of a dark fic...this chapter no exception. *winces* Next chapter's happier though. Sorry!
takuya: "Soon?" What soon? ^^ I like integrating the minor characters.
Towairaito Zoon: Umm... Yami's trying to remember, really! *waves tiny flag* He can't croak now! (Yami: -_- Oh really? Yugi: O.o)
Una1: ..."Brilliance?" Sweet! I can do brilliance! Not dull! Hope you did well in mid-terms. >.< Gah, finals be evil. And thank you for the encouragement with the emotions and personality. I tried to get in their heads and I was wondering if I could pull it off. O.o I'm scientific, not emotional. So I was like, wow, I can actually do this?!?
yami blue eyes white dragon: La de dah, oh lookit, there goes another brick wall due to Ebola. What fun. ^^ It's going to take a while to get the intern straightened out. And looky, I updated!
Yugioh/Potter/Pokemon fanatic: Yes, I have been a long time updating. *sweatdrop* I'm slow...
Yugiohchix2008: Well, the Puzzle might be indestructible, but Yami (unfortunately for him) is not. ^^
Chapter 10
Amiasha Ruri: Yeah, Tristan needs some action. I mean, I pulled him in for a reason, eh? Creepin' you out, huh? ^^ Oh, yeah. And yes, I suppose it'd be nice to have both of them live, but-- *sees glares* --I'm not telling, okay?
Ente: Hmm, Yugi or Yami going kaput? That's for you to decide. And a lot of people seem to mention monkeys a lot these days. Hmm, perhaps I should add more... ^^ And lookie! I updated! ^.~ It's nice to know that some people appreciate the time and effort it takes to write.
dark angel5221: I have tons of books on Ebola and dangerous viruses! Plus the library! Plus the Internet! ^^ Ebola is so much interesting, eh?
DarkChao1663: ^^ Kaboom! Funfunfun, yes? More soon, I promise!
High Crystal Guardian: ^_^ Well this time, the song-bit's a bit angsty. Not so mushy. And Kaiba'll come around; it's just that not even in the anime or the manga he's done it, so he's a stubborn one. Besides, do you really think he'll ever admit he's wrong so easily? ^^ The second line on the door just says the same thing as the first; it's just in a different language. Bakura says so; it was just kind of hidden. Plan? What plan? ^_~ Does YGO ever really plan anything? Noooo... ^_^ Which makes cliffies that much more fun! And I agree, Yami must live...so I can torture him some more with Ebola symptoms. Funfunfun!
hobbit13: ^^ Bakura likes blood, yes he does. Much fun. Disturbing, I sure hope so. ^^ And HIV is a pipsqueak compared to Ebola. Funfunfun...
Jennilyn Maxwell: Well, since you've kidnapped Bakura and Ryou, I couldn't infect them. Happy? Besides, I'm having way too much fun with Yami now. (Yami: >.< "Fun." How amusing.) ^^ Glad you liked long chapters!
Lome Roquen: What? The Hot Zone rocks! ^^ *sighs* Yeah, I know that "Pharaoh Yami" is technically incorrect, and yes I know the true name, but I started this before his name came out, so I made provisions for that fact. Hint in chp 6. ^.~ Yes, people will die, and yes, I have made provisions of my canon twisting. And I'm sorry I can't keep things serious, but from what I've seen of group interaction, (esp in YGO) is that people tend to deny dangerous unless it's right in front of them, in their face and physical. And besides, to have everything serious kinda makes it boring and too high-strung. Gotta have fun, ya know? As for timing, viruses do not run on a timetable. Everything is an estimate.
Mugendai: Wow, I didn't know I pulled off an army base well. ^^ Although perhaps "It's going to eat us!" is not exactly what you'd expect out of a soldier's mouth, eh? Yes, there is some significance why some could see two lines and not others. Just look at the connections. I thought you might see a reference to Duelist Combat; however, the plotline of Duelist Combat is in no way connected to this fic.
Saiyan Jedi: ^^ Another Hot Zone convert! Hmm, catching Ebola? I'll work on that...*hisses* Yessy I will...^^ Yessy I did...
shadow/phantomness: Um, yes. "Soon." ^^;;; I tried... And there's more biology in this chapter!
Shibby-One: Ooh, "intelligent." I must remind myself that when I do something stupid. ^_^ "Awesome," eh? Don't worry, explosions do not stop here...
shitsumon: Oh, torches? I'll have to look that up. *cocks head* Well, Yugi might need organ transplants, but if his guts are mush, there's nothing to connect the organ to. And besides, mush = dead. ^^
Silver Dragon, Iron Claws: Wow, that review was like poetry. Pretty. *pumps fist* Lethally Hot rocks! Oh yeah! I'm definitely keeping up -- research, explosions and all!
Sorceress Vanessa: ^.~ Boomboom fun, yes? Oh, and yes, "Ebola" is real. And well, although you don't explode, you definitely bleed profusely from every hole you've got. And then you die. Want more info? Look at the books after the disclaimer.
Syra Lebru: Yeah, my friends think I'm weird about Ebola too. And I'm not worthy of this many reviews. *bows head* Thank you for reviewing. Cool idea w/ the light idea. I must ponder upon that. And I'm definitely going to keep melding facts into this fic, along with some cute Yugi and Yami brotherhood bonding time. Oh, and...*drools over site* Ebola plushies... must... have... ^^;;;
takura: Hey, you like minor characters playing a role too? Goodie, because there's more coming up. ^.~
Towairaito Zoon: The monkey is there for a reason. And no, the shadow guy can't die right away, or else the fic would end way too soon. ^^ Sorry. *laughs* I wasn't intending to give you seizures. Stress, yes. Medical problems requiring a doctor, no. Hope you were seizure free for this chapter!
yami blue eyes white dragon: ^^ Getting down to the bloody details. Yep. Oh, and there'll be more little conversations later on...I think.
Yugiohchix2008: YAHOO!! One Hundred!! *peace sign* *bestows Ebola Plushie* Whoa, all nine chapters? ^.~ That's a lot of paper. And sorry about the length, *shrugs* but I take so long to update you probably don't have to print 'em out anyway. Where would I shorten the chapter anyway? *brightens* And I have a life, it's called Internet...my love and sanity...
Chapter 9
ACME-Rian: I'm continuing, never fear!
Amiasha Ruri: O.O A Great One reviewed my fic... (Djanil: What? LoneWolf16: Hey, anyone who's on the favs list of WSJ is a Great One. ^.~) *shining eyes* Freaky? Original? Suspense? Lack of sleep? ^^ Must be doing my job right, then! Good to know I'm doing original stuff; I like being different. ^^
Angelbrite: O.o Please define "soon" ... is a month soon? Two? ^^;;;
Capito Celcior: ^^;;; I update...I just do it really slow...
DarkChao1663: ^^;;; Okay, so not all of my promises are kept...*sweatdrop* I'm working on it. As for your questions...1) yeah, I have to do a lot of research on this. Egads, you cannot fathom it... 2) Actually, most of the memories are planned out; I just have to write it. -_- 3) ^^;;; Replies are actually the easiest part!
High Crystal Guardian: *waves* ^^ Hey, if you want torture, the Ravager's the way to go. This was only the beginning. ^^ As for the Scale debate, Shadi owning the Scales is somewhat questionable; the recent manga on the Egyptian arc never clearly states/shows, "Present day Shadi owns the Scales." So I'm saying no, he doesn't (anymore), or doesn't carry them around. As for Isis' prediction: ^^ Yup, that's right! First line's from Pearls of Lutra (which, BTW, any lawyers out there, I don't own XD), second I tweaked a bit. Kudos to you for noticing it! The song stuff ... *shrugs* Ah well, to appease those that are a bit queasy on Yami torture, I had to stick it in. It actually has a medical reason, one of which is an Ebola symptom. ^.~ You have a point there on the "no time to write" (*chokes* Physics is evil...) and the "past, present and future." ^.~
hobbit13: You thought that was destruction? *laughs* Just wait until what I have in store. About the prediction; that was mostly based on the manga. ^.~ And as for "evil," yup, that's true. Complications galore coming up.
Jennilyn Maxwell: *thinks* Bakura with Ebola... hmmm, has merit. Note to self: infect Bakura sometime and record results. (Bakura: O.O HEY!) ^^
Kasumi kouri gaki: *wide grin* "Scaring you?" Good! That's what the Ravager's supposed to do! (Djanil: -_-;;;)
LadyDeathStrike1: O.O No, this is not going to yaoi. I'm walking the (fine) line of friendship and bonding, not yaoi, sappy friendship, or angst. Though if you chose to make it thusly...it's your own choice. ^^ Yeah, I like making stuff super complicated. And "wonderful authoress?" ^^ Whoopee! (Djanil: *WHACK*)
Mugendai: Yeah, I figured I was torturing Yami a little too much (Yami: >.< Waaaayyy too much...), but I'm glad you liked the "song-fic" episode! I wasn't sure if I could pull it off; so thanks for the encouragement! Your confusion of the Egyptain memory arc of this fic will be answered later. And yes, I do know what "aibou" means, but did I inadvertently use it in the wrong context? ^^;;;
Shibby-One: ^^ Hope you still continue to read this heck of a fic! Thanks for reviewing!
Silver Dragon, Iron Claws: ^^ I love my spellchecker... Hope this was worth the wait as well!
Sorceress Vannesa: Eeee, gifts! Me want...I dunno what I want. *sweatdrop* Glad you liked the ending!
Spica P.I: *raises eyebrow* Should I huddle in fear or smile since I got this chapter out? *shrugs* Oh well, I got this chapter finished...
takuya: ^^ "Cool?" Yippee, my stuff is deemed "cool!"
Towairaito Zoon: *wide grin* Unnerve people? Exactly! And ditto on the emotions, I'm going to pull every bit I can. WWII? ^^ Naw, I got bigger ideas...
Una1: "Brilliance?" Yippee! I'm glad you liked my merging of science and fantasy. A twist, eh? *winks* And relived that you liked the friendship thingy. As for my Egyptian knowledge... *sweatdrop* I got that from a whole lotta research. A whole lot...
yami blue eyes white dragon: "Genius plot?" Not a cliche? *wide grin* Yea! I'm writing good stuff then! ^^ Thank you so much, I was so afraid people wouldn't like the song-stuff. ^.~ But you ended that quite nicely.
LoneWolf16: ^^ So...next thing up, mini-contest winner. When I say specific, I mean specific. -_- Unfortunately, the immune system is very convoluted, having many categories within categories. Mugendai and yami blue eyes white dragon, you guys came close with the choice of "antibody" and "phagocyte." *sighs* Sorry, but that's not completely correct. The possible choices were listed in chapter four. The right answers were "antibody" and "microphage." So no winner. -_-;;; The explanation why will be later in this fic, chapter 10 I think / hope; or you can look it up. But...^^...I'll give you guys this!!! *hands over brownies and Ravager plushies* TA-DA!!! Don't worry, the brownies are non-toxic, no Ebola added. Plushie is for souvenir of surviving this fic so far. (Djanil: -_- Obsession...) *shrugs* ^^;;;
Chapter 8
ACME-Rain: ^^ I'm making more! I'm making more! As for your request...^^;;;...Sorry, no can do. If I try putting in Raema, I'll most likely screw up her personality or something like that. I really don't want to mess up somebody's personality. Besides, Raema's you. Not me. I don't know her inner secrets, I don't know how she acts, I don't know how she'll react to a situation. (No offense meant, Raema.) Only a hikari knows those things -- ie, you. ^^;;;
Dark angel5221: Of course Ebola is a strange virus! It's just not the same with the common cold! And about that tape you watched...*drools* can I have a copy? I love Ebola...(Djanil: *whack*) ^^;;;
DarkChao1663: ^^ Evil, yes I am. (Yami: *nods fervently*) And I like it. And here's "more" of Lethally Hot!
High Crystal Guardian: *starry-eyed* "Loved it?" Wow... (Djanil: *whack, whack*) ^^;;; Bakura's in the memories, but not quite in full tomb robber mode. Angry and spiteful and vengeful mode, yes. Playing a major part in memory...not really. ^^;;; He has a bigger part later on. Sorry. And Joey and the others are in this too...I'm just having problems finding information about their Egyptian past. *Sweatdrop* Did they even have one? I don't even know their names...other than "Jono" and "Teana," which came from the Playstation video game, which is not too reliable. As for Yami's condition... ^^ ...He's not dead. (Yet.) (Yami: >.<) And this chapter should take the annoyance out from the last chapter. No evil cliffie this time around. As for biology...^^ For your reading pleasure, there's some actual biology in this chapter! And lastly... *innocently* What craziness? I'm sane... (Djanil: -_-)
hobbit13: ^^ I'm not doing anything too bad to Yami. If I were, this fic would be angst. But it's not. (Yami: *mutters darkly*) ^^;;; Glad you like my complications... makes things so much more fun.
Jennilyn Maxwell: ^^ Pain? What pain? (Yami: >.<) ^^ About Bakura...yes, there is a memory with him. Oh, and I finally finished the fic I was telling you about...check it out after you're done reading this chapter, it'll (hopefully) make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
LadyDeathStrike1: I assure you, I don't ditch my fics. Once I start them, I finish 'em. You will see the end. Of course, encouragement will help me reach the end faster. Thanks for this one!
mariel1337: I am writing more on this! I'm just slow! As for chapter books...*sweatdrop* Uh, Ebola is not exactly light happy reading material... There are a few books in the "junior" section of the library. One by Allison Draper, called Ebola. See works cited below, and previous chapters as well. The Hot Zone by Richard Preston is a popular book about Ebola...it was actually the book that started my obsession with Ebola.
Mugendai: "eep" would be correct. Bakura, although not a major role in memory, will definitely have a role in the present. And glad to see you're trying to keep up with my biology (I have suspicions some do not) -- phagocyte, however, is incorrect. Later chapter(s) will explain exactly what the Ring unlocked.
shitsumon: Noooo...Yugi hasn't hit the point of no return. If he did, then I couldn't continue writing this fic. And that's no fun; I've got plans. More "cheery" past-Kaiba coming up soon! Well, kinda...
Silver Dragon, Iron Claws: Inspiring? Descriptive? *starry-eyed* Wow. I'm actually a good enough writer to inspire people? (Djanil: -_-) Hope this chapter was worth the wait as well. And also, if you do infect your character with Ebola, tell me -- I love Ebola and its lovely effects. Lots more gore and stuff coming up, don't worry...
Sorceress Vanessa: O.o On the other hand, perhaps too much gore and stuff would be a bad thing. Sorry about the biology this chapter, but well, it adds to the atmosphere...I try to make the biology clear. ^^ That's what footnotes are for!
takuya: Ah, the Millenium Items. Everything is linked to them, the past and present intertwined. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you what item will be next. However, I can tell you this -- it's gold. ^^;;; Okay, a better hint: think of the sea, and the connections to this fic. And I think that'll be it.
yami blue eyes white dragon: Well, biology is back this chapter! Kinda... Bakura...will not have a bigger role in the past memory, but will have one in the present.
Chapter 7
ACME-Rain -- LoneWolf16 enjoys this as well. She hopes this chapter will continue to make you happy.
cat -- Well, if LoneWolf16 does decide to kill either Yami or Yugi, she too will cry along with you.
dark angel5221 -- LoneWolf16 is continuing in her slow but steady manner.
DarkChao1663 -- The cure, unfortunately, will have to wait. LoneWolf16 enjoys pain and mental anguish and will probably not get to the cure until a few more (long) chapters. This chapter's shorter than the previous ones, though. And yes, she enjoys the power she has over Yami / Yugi's life. (Yami and Yugi: *quiver in fear*)
Dragonheart2 -- No, LoneWolf16 did not watch 28 Days Later. Movies, like TV, are practically foreign to her. However, she will try to watch to movie mentioned, if it had anything to do with Ebola. *sighs* She's obsessed. As for your question, LoneWolf16 doesn't know the exact numbers of Ebola deaths, but Ebola Zaire killed around 325 people out of 358 infected in 1976. More information on statistics will appear in chapter eight, she thinks.
High Crystal Guardian -- LoneWolf16 is going to end the Kaiba-Joey thingy once and for all. Hope you're doing well in your biology class; that was one of LoneWolf16's fave classes. Especially the microorganism section. -_-
hobbit13 -- (Yami: Yes! Someone pities my pain! Djanil: WHACK!) LoneWolf16 is thankful that someone appreciates her enormous amounts of research. And she's decided to finally end the Joey-Kaiba lines once and for all, if that would make you feel better.
Jennilyn Maxwell -- Again, only she knows Yugi's condition at the end of this fic. However, for all of those Yugi's life-lover's out there, she's writing a fic just for you guys. I suggest that you read it once it's done and hope that it rings true for this fic.
Kasumi kouri gaki -- LoneWolf16 is hoping that she scared you out of your wits, because that would be an indication that she's writing well.
Mugendai -- LoneWolf16 is very happy to know that she almost made you cry. Why? Because it tells her that she can actually write sad stuff. *scoffs* And I suppose that if you've just started "Life Under the Microscope," reading about probably the most dangerous microorganism on this earth would be slightly freaky. But no harm done, you're still reading this, aren't you? And I told LoneWolf16 she should get a better dictionary, but nooo, the library had only one copy. Thanks for the true definitions though; they've been bugging LoneWolf16 for a while now.
SAPPHIRE -- Unfortunately, LoneWolf16's favorite thing about Ebola is its graphic parts. As she said in chapter four, Yami / Yugi's life is in her hands. If it will make you feel better, Yami and Yugi are her favorite characters. However, she does enjoy torturing her favorite characters as well. (Yami: *groans*)
Silver Dragon, Iron Claws -- Finally, someone who appreciates the gory parts. I was wondering if anyone actually liked that stuff. Yugi's condition will be revealed when the time comes.
takura -- LoneWolf16 is ecstatic that you believe this fic is good. Like I said before, she has serious self-confidence issues.
yami blue eyes white dragon -- torture in general is interesting. That has got to be the most well-thought of theory I've heard on Ebola on FF.net. Although to me, LoneWolf16's has got to be the most convoluted. You will see if you're theory will match with hers shortly.
Chapter 6
ACME-Rian -- I love this fic too! And I'm glad you love this fic!
benign sadist -- yes, sticking in ancient Egypt plus modern medicine is a bit tricky, but that's what going to make this fic interesting.
DarkChao1663 -- Yes, long chapter. They'll probably stay that way too. ^^;;; Sorry, Yami Bakura is not a major player in this chapter. (That is, he doesn't create the chaos he's famous for.) Next chapter (I think) though, he will emerge as his usual vindictive self. Doing stuff...I dunno when.
High Crystal Guardian -- Yup, Yami has seen Ebola before. And its lovely symptoms. ^^ That'll come later, though. I am going to have a lot of fun with Yami... ^^ And if you didn't quite, um, enjoy the Ebola descriptions last chapter, this one might be a little, um, worse. Sorry, but Ebola is what it is. And you don't consider yourself a high and mighty writer? *Shrugs* Oh well, I was going to give you offerings of thanks and wisdom (Djanil: *whacks LoneWolf16*) but if you don't want them, okay.
Jennilyn Maxwell -- hmm, I see you changed your penname. Ryou save you from Ebola? He sure can try...
shitsumon -- human denial is very strong. Gullible even, if you will. It'll take a lot to get Kaiba to believe anything...but I'll make him see the truth. I'm the authoress, right?
Takura -- Actually, I don't listen in science class. I read the textbook. ^^ And of course I'm continuing!
yami blue eyes white dragon -- aaahhh, the dreaded Math Test. Yep, math can seriously screw with your mind. Here's another chapter!
Chapter 5
benign sadist -- Hmmm, maybe I should be a biology teacher...*thinks* *raises eyebrow*...and then again, maybe not. I'd probably do a bad job of teaching. Oh, the gang is not exactly fighting Ebola with pure magic. What they are doing is using magic to find a "physical" cure / defense against Ebola.
Getting away from math and turning towards biology: I couldn't use lymphocytes because like "white blood cell," it's simply a general term for stuff. Lymphocytes refer to B-cells and T-cells, just like phagocytes refer to macrophages and microphages. Concave red blood cells...hmmm, forgot about that, and I guess that would have helped, but then again, this is Ryou I'm writing about. There is also the problem of the concave part not being on top, timing the jump and jumping correctly.
High Crystal Guardian -- *wide-eyed* You actually came off your great authoress throne to review my lowly fic? *sob* This is so great...one of my fave authors reads my fic, says it's original and it teaches facts, not to mention that she likes it...THANK YOU!!! *bows head*
Djanil: *reads review* *raises eyebrow* She actually thinks this fic has logic??
LoneWolf16: *glares* Yes, it does. And don't you dare defy the Guardian...or else!
Djanil: O.O *sighs* Fanatics...
HotaruMaxwell -- ^^;;;; Oops, a slight misinterpretation...sorry. I assure you, your fave character Ryou will not die. Oh, and by the way, there is no vaccine for Ebola (but there is one for Marburg for monkeys) so I don't think your authoress-imposed vaccine works...
yami blue eyes white dragon -- *raises eyebrow* Seven isn't a perfect number? I don't think so. Seven IS a "perfect" number -- just not in the mathematical realm. This is science fiction, not math class. And science fiction is closely related to fantasy, which frequently has the number seven as a "perfect" or "magical" number to "complete" things. (Which I mentioned.) Some examples: According to the bible, the universe was completed in seven days; the Catholics beware of the seven deadly sins; many fantasy stories have seven jewels/rings/scrolls/lessons/people/things of great power/wisdom; oftentimes there are seven trials/dangers; and numerous superstitions with the number seven. Also, I quote, from Cruden's Unabridged Concordance, that "Besides the known signification of this word [the number seven], it is also used in scripture as a number of perfection." (Don't flame me for the biblical references, please. It's just another point in proving that seven is generally held as a perfect number.) If you want more examples of the number seven being used, I've got lots more...
yugiohluver -- *eyes bazooka* *raises eyebrow* Should I be afraid of a pack of gum?
Djanil: -_-;;; That's a bazooka gun, not gum.
LoneWolf16: *looks closer at barrel of gun* Ah. I've seen these before. It didn't do anything to me.
Djanil: And that's because no one pulled the trigger!
LoneWolf16: Ah. Then I should be careful around that?
Djanil: YES!!!!
LoneWolf16: *shrugs* Well, yugiohluver -- like I said in the beginning, I cannot say if Yugi will be okay at the end.
shitsumon, ACME-Rian, takuya, and DarkChao1663 -- THANK YOU SO MUCH!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU--
Djanil: That's enough. I think they get the point.
LoneWolf16: --THANK YOU!!! Sorry if I didn't reply to you, don't get mad at me, but I don't want to make the replies that long, because it's sorta weird to have a "reply section" that's like three pages long (yeah, I know you can't tell it's three pages, that's why I'm telling you).
Chapter 4
HotaruMaxwell -- Poor Yugi? Yugi, live? And for that matter, Yugi was vaccinated by you?!? Arrggh!! My evil plans are ruined! I can no longer I torture him with the terror of Ebola!!! *Gets an evil idea* *Yugi is un-vaccinated forever due to authoress power* MUHAHAHA!!! Now I can torture Yugi to my heart's content!!
Super Hurricane -- hmm, soulless bodies? Nuh-uh. Soulless, no. Mindless, yes. They haven't been mind crushed, but their minds are "in" Yugi's body now
yami blue eyes white dragon -- Oohh, cool name. Yes, the virus is cool in the biological sense. And in the killing sense. *grins* Ebola death is sooo cool - but that will come later. I try to get the biology right. Hope this chapter is factual enough for you ^^
yugiohluver -- I have updated!!! Oh, and just for you (well, for all of you readers ^^) I have added a bit of humor! Well, that is, if you can find it...I have a very dry sense of humor, at least for this fic. Irony is the thing. ^^
ACME-Rian, DarkChao1663, Takuya -- I continue to write! Here's another chapter, and to make up for the wait, it's a long one too! (Hope you guys don't mind long chapters...)
