    Summary

    "Did you hear that, treasure? They are allowed to take you where they please because they have a permit. Isn't that comforting?"

    Chrollo’s crew chuckles. The creature still does not understand but Chrollo is not actually trying to speak to it.

    "For humans, declarations of who is and is not allowed to do as they please are called 'laws'." Chrollo pretends to explain in order to further illustrate his point to the merchant captain.

    "Sea trash."
    ===
    Chrollo is the captain of The Phantom. When he and his crew plunder a merchant ship, they find a merfolk on-board.

    Summary

    “Should call you the Ottawa Puppies,” says the Toronto centre, Svensson. As an insult it makes no sense, so Ilya ignores it, until he continues, “Hear Hollander keeps you on a short leash.”

    Ilya is the captain, so if anything, he should be holding the leash. In English, you can be singular or plural, but he knows what Svensson is trying to say. He is saying Ilya Rozanov, you are Hollander’s bitch.

    “Only sometimes,” Ilya replies, grinning. He wins the face off.

    OR: Ilya trains himself to be a very, very good guard dog for Shane.

    Summary

    The Voyageurs ask Shane to join FanMail in order to foster a better connection with fans. Internet sleuths start to notice some interesting details in the background of Shane’s videos, and then the internet does...what the internet does.

    Or Shane and Ilya are granted an opportunity to come out on their own terms. Sort of. And in they do it in a very Ilya way. (Surprisingly, it is Shane’s idea)

    Summary

    When he was the Moon Prince, he would have done anything to ensure Lady Gyokuyou became the next Empress of Li. She was the kind of beauty that would bring entire empires to their knees. She possessed the wit and elegance of a ruler, and a caring smile that could melt hearts of stone. There was little wonder why she was said to be the late-Emperor’s favorite despite never bearing him a son.

    In which the Precious Consort returns to the rear palace and Lady Maomao doesn’t quite understand why the Emperor insists on wasting so much time with a sprig of hemlock when his garden now contains a perfectly cultivated rose.
