Well, I'm passing the torch to Inflatable Urd otaku worldwide. 8-)  As much
as it pains to bring an end to the Adventures of Inflatable Urd, I know
enough, at least, to quit while I'm ahead.  

I will, of course, do an Inflatable Urd/Peorth Fan-Fic. Watch this space for
details. But...
the rest of the story and many others, we hope, are in your hands. 8-)

If I'd have known you would go to THAT extreme I would have had Azuki-chan
waiting to give you a kiss!! ((In a *daring* cross-over move!!!...8-P ))

I'll see that you get TWO copies. Burn the second one and let the spirit of
it rise up with angelic wisdom. Or something.  8-P

Then it is up to Inflatable Urd loving otaku everywhere to rise to the
occasion ((*gafu!*)) and bring her back to life!!  8-)  So let's have a
one-gun salute!  8-P
