Making of Eroica bit

Okay, I swear I meant to finish this whole chapter before posting any of it here, but this first section had me biting my lip so hard I had to post it. I can just see her pulling her hair out over all the fan letters and going, "Why do I have to rationalize this? It's my.damn.comic!"

Also, I'd like to note here, since I haven't done so before, that these are really rough translations. When I finish I'll go back over and make corrections, fix discrepancies, and make it more natural flowing English (oh, GOD, the run-on sentences!).

( The initial conception had the earl and the major 12 heads high )

I'm open for suggestions on better ways to translate "obasan", "ossan", and "ojisan". All words with "aunt, uncle, middle-aged" connotations, though ossan is rougher sounding. I just can't think of good, one-word translations that keep the same feel.
