A couple of things to ask actually.
1. Is it ever stated which country Gallus is supposed to
be from as fiance to Venus? I do not think it is, but I
could be wrong.

2. Hayashi+Lune Venus= couple? Should I have them start to 
see each other as a romantic interest, or will they keep it
platonic (regardless of which it is, nothing's going to happen
at this point, she hasn't yet been engaged to Gallus).

3. Did you get the revised copy? I sent it out Friday. If so, what
did you think about it?

	I ask these questions because I have started work on part 2
of Oracle (although I'm thinking of changing the title to El Hazard
-The Untold Story), which I am entitling "The Coming of Gallus".

	The series is probably going to be 3 parts, with a short epilogue
included with part three (when I say short, I mean short even for me).

I am working on part 4 of Ice Cream, so if any of you are waiting/caring,
don't worry, I have not forgotten about it. Work on it has just slowed down
considerably (before Christmas, really... ok, before the New Year then and 
it'll be done. Otherwise you can call me a liar, okay? Deal).

I thank you for your responses (he says hopefully), and would appreciate it
if e-mailed privately (why clog things up with too much spam?).
