Secondly we have the Horo & Lawrence situation. Where Horo is in a state where she... well lets just say her feelings for Lawrence have been completely supressed by the utter shock of losing her home.<br /><br />Now, we have to consider these problems and think: this is a merely a climax and season two of Spice and Wolf has only started. A happy ending for this will come shortly. Horo has yet to recuperate her feelings for Lawrence.<br /><br />Economically looking at this I believe Lawrence will pull through the gamble by an inch, like what we've always had in season 1. After all bankruptcy for Lawrence can never be determind, only suspended.<br /><br />Now that I've shouted out my vague predictions and comforted myself like the greedy bastard I am, I will now conclude with a trump card: Amati's contract with Lawrence is based on lies. Thats right. Amati thinks Horo is a fair maiden and thusly has fallen for her (how Shallow of him). He has no idea that she is a wolf god, he has no idea that she has ears and a tail. He also has no fucking idea that she can turn into a fearsome creature the size of fucking Texas! So no matter how you look at it we have ourselves a happy ending. :) now that cheered me up considerably.Kexiunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323543890331313328.post-48653107550983473142009-08-02T09:28:09.544+01:002009-08-02T09:28:09.544+01:00Horo so bad T_T

The producers just keep pushing this situation further and further. Ending it in one fell swoop in the next episode with Amati's defeat is all I wish for. I mean this arc is very intense but it's really just too depressing and killing me inside to see the couple like they are...

That way his own financial cost during all the proceedings is minimal.kadian1364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323543890331313328.post-20477985961123173962009-07-31T16:48:43.472+01:002009-07-31T16:48:43.472+01:00I'll try to explain as best as I can what I un...I'll try to explain as best as I can what I understood of Lawrence's strategy, without resorting to elaborate diagrams and charts, and admitting my comprehension might be lacking.<br /><br />The deal from Amati's perspective is simple: he buys Pyrite from Lawrence. If the price of pyrite rises, he profits, if it fall, he loses. Lawrence's challenge is to make pyrite prices crash.<br /><br />I think the key is that 500 silver is a huge amount of money, large enough to affect the overall pyrite market, something Lawrence intends to use.<br /><br />Anyway, he wants to spread a rumor about wheat buying so that all the pyrite dealers sell out their pyrite stocks to buy what they originally came for: wheat. Additionally, his accumulated 500 silver worth of pyrite gets sold off at the same time, flooding the pyrite market and crashing prices.<br /><br />The problem is if the chain of events don't happen quickly enough, Amati can just sell off the pyrite he already owns before he incurs huge losses. Yet, Lawrence has already anticipated this possibility, going as far to tell Mark that "Lawrence" (actually Amati) would be selling 1000 silver worth of pyrite.<br /><br />Well, we'll probably see all this go up in smoke anyway, as <i>Spice and Wolf</i> is wont to do.
