Here's that post I did when Marilyn tries to 'proposition' Rain:
Marilyn Nebraska was sulking in teh restaurant after teh disaster with Darshes.
"What is it with me? Every time I try and snag me a man, something always thwarts me. That's it, no more man-hunting for me, I mean it!"
She takes a swig of her drink and glances around, soon her eye catches Rain, calmly eating lunch.
"Holy Crap! How did I not see him! Oh, he's beautiful! And soon, he'll be mine..."
She slides off her chair and tries to sashay over to where Rain is sitting. She stands in front of him, but he's completely oblivious. She clears her throat. He looks up.
Trying to sound sultry, she says, "Hello, gorgeous. Care for some company?"
Before he has a chance to say anything, she sits herself down next to him. She leans closer to him. He leans away slightly.
"So, how come I've never seen you around here before, handsome? I'm sure I would have noticed you sooner. My name is Marilyn Nebraska, what's yours?"
Rain shifted in his chair uncomfortably. "Uh, My name's Rain Jewlitt. We've just arrived, actually."
"A newbie, eh? Well I'd be more than happy to 'show you around' teh place," she purred.
Suddenly a voice is heard at teh entrance to teh restaurant.
"GET AWAY FROM HIM, YOU HUSSY!!!!"
Standing in teh doorway was a girl with short blonde hair, wielding a large scythe. Marilyn turned in surprise.
"Who are you calling a hussy, LITTLE GIRL!!!"
Before she realized it, an axe flew through teh air and pinned Marilyn's hair to teh back wall. Rain just stared, dumbstruck.
Machika stormed up to teh table, scythe still in hand. "Who are you calling a little girl?!"
Marilyn turned to Rain, "Who is she supposed to be, your girlfriend!?"
Rain suddenly turned several shades of red, "Uh, well not real..."
"He belongs to me, you overgrown Barbie! Remember that!" she huffed. She threw one last glare at Marilyn, shifted her scythe, and turned on her heel. As she stormed outta teh restaurant, she threw a glance over her shoulder.
"And he's not my boyfriend!" she shouted as a blush crept up her cheeks.
Marilyn muttered to herself as she tried to free her hair from teh axe, "That does it, Imma become a nun!"
Whew! It took me forever to find it!!

Ooooooh, me LIKE! Where'd ya' find it!? I think I like his hair white more than any other color, just seems to fit him, somehow...... Hmmmmmm......maybe you could say teh changing hair color thing is a "symptom" of what makes him Immortal?

Okay, some more comments and remarks and stuff-- --In teh little "intro" to teh second chapter, where it shows Machika finding a flower left on Zol's grave, and she looks down that long line of crosses stretching into Infinity......It suddenly dawned on me--I wonder if Rain's been leaving flowers on a LOT of graves, all down thru' 600-some years, even when those buried there had long been forgotten by their own families.........? --I DO so like Machika's "method" for keeping a man! Tie a rope around his ankle, lock him in teh bathroom, and pile ALL teh furniture against teh door!
--Po' Rain looked so pitiful, sitting in there on teh toilet, a bit like a dog who's piddled on teh rug but can't figure out why everyone's MAD at him!! *snicker* And then Machika's reaction when he asks her if she hasta' pee!!!!! Such INDIGNATION! *snerk!*
--Of course, it's even FUNNIER when Rain scoops her up and heads for teh bed, and she ASSUMES he wants "something else"--and he FALLS ASLEEP!!! I adore this pic of teh two of them sharing teh bed, it's so sweet......
Of course, Rain, Me Dear, if that had been ME, I WOULDA' WOKE YA' UP, Buster--and demanded ANOTHER KIND o' "Bounty"!!! *Tee, Hee!*

Yep, better than pink, anyway! She wears green a lot, too. On one of teh link pages I posted earlier (teh English IR site), has a link in there to a girl who does some IR fanart. I don't think his hair changing color is actually a part of teh story. I think it's just a whim of teh manga-ka.

Would be interesting, tho', if they decided to "incorporate" that lil' detail into an anime, don't-cha' think? Or, you could just mention it as a "characteristic" of Rain as he is in ATACT, if you wanted to.....

Speaking of sleeping, another thing I like about this pic is how relaxed and "innocent" Rain looks while asleep--I kinda' like teh idea of watching a man sleep sometimes [tho' I haven't had much PERSONAL opportunity, myself, unfortunately]--teh testosterone is at rest, and they seem so vulnerable and "human", then [no need for "posturing" to impress teh females, ya' see...]
