Obviously Japanese drama/sentai has eaten my brain. I have had dreams of talking to Abe Hiroshi/Jiro Ueda about how he was or was not a fictional character. I've also had Miho Kanno hug me in a cute big sister way and wondered if she was going to turn into Sadako from "Ringu." Which leads me to believe that watching "Saimin" and "TricK" and "Shinsengumi" (No one told me Koizumi was playing Souji, I would have been obsessively watching the show for that alone!) before sleeping produces strange, strange things. Still bitter Inagaki Goro didn't show up.

This also produces strange inspiration considering I'm in a writing slump. So this is my writing slump, an introduction to a TricK episode based on the Eagles' "Hotel California." Yeah, I thought it was weird too but at least I got most of the impetus to write it out of me. Minus the Ishinara in the hot tub scene, which is very entertaining to imagine writing...

Obviously, this is the part you skip over because you're not familiar with my strange fandoms.
