June, this was outstanding.  Wonderful work.  With that said, now it's
C&C time.

Agreed.... a bit disturbing, but good.

<SNIP>

Then my heart sinks as I hear the train
whistle.  It's coming, and I need to get across
before it does, or he will catch me.  In
desperation I leap forward, straining to get across
the tracks.  I trip over the first rail and go
flying across the tracks, bruising myself terribly.
I scramble to my feet and turn.  If I have
succeeded, I'll run on.  If not, there is no way to
keep him from catching me.  It is better to face my
fate.

I really don't remember much on the layout of the JR (or other lines) in
Nerima, but the majority of the trains in the 23 wards are not on level
ground.  Anyone more familiar with the ward point out something here?
Nonetheless, a good description.

Well.  JR (Japan Rail) does not serve anywhere in Nerima at all.  Nerima is
served by the Seibu Ikebukuro line (which of course runs from Ikebukuro to
Chichibu, Saitama Pref.), the Seibu Shinjuku Line (which runs from
Takadanobanba... try saying that one 3 times fast... to Tokorozawa, Saitama
Pref. where is meets the Ikebukuro line), and the area is also served by the
Toei Oeido subway line.  It runs from Hikarigaoka, Nerima-ku to then make a
loop around central Tokyo (it also stops in Shinjuku and in front of Tocho..
the Tokyo Metro. Office/Prefectural Office).

Almost every train station requires to take the stairs at some point.  Where
it's to change tracks, to just get to the tracks, or to enter/leave the
station.  Some have escalators, and a few have an elevator (although that is
changing).

The trip home seemed to take forever.  I had to
find Ryoga, and show him my "cursed" form.  Cursed?
As far as I was concerned, it was a blessing.

The trip took forever, and somehow she didn't have any of the same
misadventures the other cursed did?  Granted, she's not a martial
artist, but under the circumstances, many of the situations were nigh
universal.  For her to take that long and not have any problems is
unusual.  Had she some issues, the "blessing" would have changed REAL
quick.

The next thing I knew, I was a pig.  That
didn't really bother me.  It would be easy enough
for me to get to the bathtub and change back.

That depends.  Oftentimes, furo tend to be covered.  Unless the furo was
covered (if an older one) or had a simple mechanism to fill it, it would
have been somewhat difficult for a small cloven hooved animal to do so
under the best of circumstances.  I'm just pointing this out more for
people who tend to use furo in fics, rather than suggesting the change
here, since it's clear she's not going to make it that far.

Well actually during the day a furo would likely not be filled yet....and
therefore not covered.  It's covered once it's been filled with... cold
water in an old house, auto-filled hot water in a new place...and then set
to keep warm with a gas heater that's built in.  Really old apartments may
just have a hot water heater attached to fill the tub, and then you cover it
to keep it warm.  There are a few different permutations, but I'd say unless
it's new... they fill it with cold, then hit the gas heater to heat it up
and cover it to keep it warm.
