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

#19 The process of selection? Isn't that the same as an event where a film is shown?

Got Mocha's answer and wrote my next one, then hit Preview and saw I had to figure out a new question 
#19 is screening!

Balance!
#21 The gist of the conversation? Isn't that the same as the tip of a blade?
I like the rhyming clues, but don't think I could do that after midnight.

Re: The Balance!
Ha ha, the rhymes are probably there because I associate wordplay with verse. Do you get my... point?

#23 Not just a tasty dinner, isn't it also provoking things said?
Edit: I keep forgetting to number!

The first time you looked at her curves you were hooked
And the glances you took, took hold of you and demanded that you stay
And sunk in their teeth, bit your heart and released
Such a charge that you need another touch, another taste, another fix

#21 is Point!
#24 A standard, principle or quality considered to be a desirable trait to a person or a group. Isn't that the same as a fair price?

Not what I had in mind, although in a bit of a stretch, it might work.

Re: The Balance!
Is #23 beef? It certainly is a tasty dinner; I'd define it the other way more as "complaint" than as "provoking things said," but the ideas are fairly close...
#24 I leave to whoever wants to write #25.

And you know, I was just editing my post to wonder if it might be "chicken," since calling your enemy a chicken is a sure way to provoke him. Dinner foods and nastiness... who knew!

I think it's more likely to be value. Is that right, Tamago?

Re: The Balance!
Tamago, yours was hard! But easy in hindsight -at least, assuming satyr's got the right answer. Which reminds me, Fire?
#26 is open.

Awesome, I got #24 and both of you got #25 in spite of my horrid rhyming. The first line is about how you burn witches, and was much funnier in my head. #26 is for whoever wants it

Tamago, yours are the most difficult!

All I can come up with is spite/despite...

Correct!

Could it be Blue Danube the first British nuclear bomb?

No, I'm pretty sure it's October.

Re: The Balance!
All I can think of for #28 is softness. As in, to go soft in the head.
Whoops! Forgot to add one myself in case of being right. Hmmm...
#29: Those who value the family, who find gays uncouth...
In the end, aren't they also those who possess the truth?
And don't most scissors work for their hands, as they sit in their "Impeach Obama" tea party booth?
OH GOD. THAT WAS AWFUL. I CANNOT BE FULLY AWAKE YET. 
Still, the question remains.

Re: The Balance!
Not quite what I was looking for, although #29 is right.
I was thinking stroke, but that's more of a block than a bleed. What I get writing these after midnight (I just copied and pasted it in this morning), I suppose. My bad. Let's try again:
#30 A skirt, an Adam's apple and heels? Isn't that the same as a way to move something without wheels?
