This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)

The SKU "What Would You Do" game
Here is a new little game from me similar to the caption contest, but on a bit different rules. You need to ask a question related to Utena world, starting with "What would you do if...." (E.G What would you do if your sister thought , that she has laid an egg?), and the other forum users give an answer (funny, serious, non-related to Utena, whatever you like). After a week or twoI proclaim the author of the best answer, and he asks the next question. you may post only one answer for one question. LET THE GAME BEGIN:
What would you do if Ikuhara told you that the Utena series is a mirage?

I'd smile, nod, and say, "Well, isn't that nice?" Since there is about as much truth to that as anything else he's ever said regarding Utena. Then I'd go back to thinking of the series in the same way I love it.

I'd calmly and politely remind him that he is not Akio, no matter how much he wishes he was, and then I'd return to watching SKU.

I would ask him if he could refer me to a therapist who is well-trained at handling patients with schizophrenia, only to decline his offer to see his own therapist, because I know all to well that whoever he sees has done of poor job of keeping him from seeing that little girl who wants to be a prince.

I would get high and watch it all over again and see if the effects stack.

I'd probably give him a Gendo Ikari-like stare and just wait silently until he left.
ah, man does not exist; ah, within the darkness; ah, the sound of the waves

Now wouldn't it be trippy if he meant, the television show didn't actually exist, and we've all invented it out of whole cloth into our 'reality'... because Ikuhaha *would* love to suggest that we ourselves have wished this show into being, for our own mental satisfaction...

Re: The SKU "What Would You Do" game
Sorry you had to wait, but the first round is finally over. I decided that it would be much more just if you PM me the votes, just like in the caption contest. I'll be home that week and I'll proclaim the winner, who will have the right to ask the next question. remember you can't vote on your captions, and you can send only one vote.
