This is a static copy of In the Rose Garden, which existed as the center of the western Utena fandom for years. Enjoy. :)
From now on, the original VSE topic will only be used to alert readers to changes in the story format, progress in story creation, and when they will be posted on fanfiction.net which might not be for a while. This new topic will be a character guide to give readers a look at the original characters, returning characters from SKU, and characters from different series who will be appearing. If you are confused by anything, please post a topic or send me a message and I will clarify. I suppose it's my own fault for all the revisions I've been making. Today, I will start with the main duelists, Ohtori and of my own creation.

Ironically, the three serve as a reference to the anime series Project A-Ko, a parody of anime itself.
