Behind The Glass Stains III

R.I.P Märchen Drama Track 1

Warnings (MDNI): angst, dark humor, sexual humor, smut, deceit, con, stalking, abusive relationship, domestic violence, yandere, abusive family, mentions of pedophilia, mentions of sexual assault, prostitution, drugs, addiction, human trafficking, violence, gore, blood, character deaths. These warnings are not exclusive to this album in particular, they’re more so for the general plot.

If any of the warnings above make you uncomfortable in any way, I’d strongly suggest staying away from this particular chapter and instead wait for the profile pages to be updated with brief summaries. Minors, especially, definitely do not interact.

Word Count: 4.2K

It’s already been two years since I’ve stepped foot into this place…

Being so far away from Yokohama container yard, everything at the terminal appeared ant-sized. Despite the broad range of vivid, colorful containers that were scattered throughout the port terminal, there was one that caught Juri’s eye, even all the way from the docked cargo ship.

Completely wrecked, the front of a silver vehicle lodged right into the yellow cargo with its bumper and bonnet entirely crushed with no hope of repair.

Caution tape had been set up around the ruins of the car, blocking any and all outsiders from entering the restricted space.

Standing on the deck of the cargo ship, Juri sucked in a breath and exhaled loudly, a small, misty cloud forming before her. The winter truly showed mercy to nobody.

A pair of footsteps approached her, the noise sounding sharper and crisper in the freezing winter air.

“Man, you really surprised me the other day, Number 1810!”

Juri had no need to see the man’s face. She’d grown familiar with it all. The weight of his footsteps, his pacing— she knew it all too well. Yet, she peered over her shoulder anyway.

Perceptibly on the older side, the man had a build that would seem rather intimidating, but the way he gazed at Juri, he seemed on the more friendly side.

Juri smiled and fully turned toward him with a polite bow. “I could say the same for you. I’m rather surprised you agreed to my silly request so willingly.”

“Dontcha worry about it!” the man huffed with a heavy countryside accent. “The family helped out the business here a ton. And by default, you also helped out a ton, Number 1810!”

Juri chuckled and turned to face the port once again.

The man rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. “Oh,” he said sheepishly. “Since that family doesn’t own you anymore… It wouldn’t be right for me to call you by a branded number anymore, know what I mean? Is there a name you go by now?”

Right…

This was exactly what she had been expecting this old acquaintance of hers to ask.

She’d been dreading it.

But she saw it coming.

“You needn’t concern yourself,” Juri replied in a friendly manner. “You’re welcome to call me as you always have.”

The man laughed. “Keeping to yourself as always, aint’cha! How’s life as a free girl now?”

She exhaled loudly, paying no mind to the cold breath that had formed before her. “Well… ‘free’ is a description I am still adjusting to,” she admitted. Perhaps so long as I have these attributes and continue to utilize them…

I’ll never be truly ‘free’…

“But that is not important,” Juri said. “There is a matter here that we must attend to.”

The man straightened his posture, letting go of his cheery smile and putting on a more professional front.

“Right, of course,” the man said politely, dropping his thick accent. “You really surprised me when you sent that email last night. I can’t believe you remembered how to reach out to us.”

She chuckled in return, reaching into her bag and pulling out a set of disposable gloves. “I’ve spent too much of my time here, it would be pretty difficult for me to forget such details,” she said as she gently tore open the packaging and covered her delicate hands with the white gloves that almost matched the color of her skin.

The man gazed into the ocean, where a certain area at the terminal was blocked off by rolls of caution tape. “The police and investigators won’t let us anywhere near the crash, so I don’t know how you’re gonna get to the crime scene with them around…”

A smile crept up Juri’s lips. “I will not get to the crime scene.” She reached a gloved hand in her white bag that was half her size. “But don’t you fret.”

She pulled out her laptop that now had a mouse connected to it, the handheld pad from her bag, along with a foreign device which resembled that of a black and silver hand-sized jet.

Juri gracefully sat herself and her laptop down on the boat floor, keeping the mysterious device planted on the palm of her free hand.

She yawned without releasing a single sound. I didn’t think it’d take all night to finish building this… plus the extra time in the early morning allotted for functionality tests…

This would be the very first field test with this model…

Pressing a thumb delicately over the mysterious device and with her free hand, she opened her laptop, revealing a list of codes over a blank black screen. The scriptures moved constantly, rearranging themselves with every millisecond.

Juri unwrapped the cord from the mouse and with a few clicks, the foreign device booted up silently.

The blank screen on Juri’s laptop switched on, syncing up to the grain-sized camera that was attached to the device.

Or rather, the drone.

Sliding the mouse upward ever so slightly, the small jet-like drone lifted off Juri’s palm in perfect synchronization with her movements over her mouse. The camera panning matched to what showed up on Juri’s screen with zero delay.

Everything was in place.

The man who had greeted her before watched her work. Juri felt the stares on her and yet felt completely unbothered.

After all, this was nothing new to her or the workers on this particular boat.

“Normally, only assigned licensed detectives are allowed near a crime scene,” the man finally said as he continued to watch Juri test out the drone’s movements. “So ain’t this kinda risky?”

“Well, for a start…” Juri said distractedly but politely, her focus on her laptop screen. She lowered the drone back onto the palm of her hand with her controller, now moving the cursor to one side of the laptop screen. “There is no license for me to lose in the first place, so I’ll get away with breaking a law or two. As such, this assignment can be dealt with at a far faster rate.”

The man chuckled. “You’re pretty fearless! Ain’tcha afraid of getting caught?”

With a few clicks, the drone began to change forms.

“You assume I would get caught in the first place.”

Starting from the nose cone, the drone began disappearing with a rippling effect until it reached the tailplane, completely concealing the drone from view.

“So you still found a way to make cloaking technology work again,” the man said.

Juri hummed in response. Using her mouse to lift up the drone that was no longer in view, she watched as the camera continued to sync up to what was on her laptop screen.

Fly, little one…

Juri watched through her laptop, as the drone flew over the dark waves that crashed into the seaport and carried over to the scene of the crash, where two investigators were discussing among themselves how to carry on with the investigation.

Juri tucked her rose-colored locks behind her right ear, revealing a black earpiece.

Rotating the dial on the earpiece, she continued dialing until the visual gauge for the volume went green and the investigators’ voices became more audible and coherent through it.

The night before, Juri spent upwards of an hour gathering evidence that Miku was driven home in Ikeishi’s vehicle.

Photos and videos from the paparazzi had captured the exact moment that Miku had entered Ikeishi’s silver car and had been uploaded online. After a series of constant networking, Juri confirmed that Miku had indeed left with Ikeishi that night.

Miku Shirazuki… Ensemble: white button up dress, black long trench coat, black beret with a belt attachment, black ankle boots, zero jewelry despite usually wearing different rings daily.

Carried a black backpack. Judging by its weight in the photos and clips, it was empty and served as a means to carry spare clothes. Had a half-empty coffee in a plastic cup in one hand and their mobile phone with a black printed case in the other.

Then from the hour that Shirazuki-san had left the broadcast center to the time of the crash… Subject had been removed from the vehicle somewhere between then or afterwards…

Unless Shirazuki-san was dropped off elsewhere and Ikeishi-san circled back to Yokohama…

With no leads as to where Shirazuki-san could have gone… And the last person to have come into contact with her has passed…

Suppose the next best option is to find out what happened.

Right here at the source.

The drone began flying over the crime scene, its camera moving in every direction, capturing every aspect of the terminal.

So according to the Yokohama PD’s official report, the vehicle had slipped on the harsh winter ice… and thus leading to a fatal crash.

Juri stared intently into her laptop screen, watching through the lens of her concealed drone.

With a single click of a keyboard button, a second window popped up, revealing a three-dimensional layout of the terminal, along with virtual models of the investigators, caution tape, the debris that flew in all directions from the car crash. However, what was still forming together pixel by pixel on her laptop, was the 3D imaging of the wrecked vehicle itself.

The drone finished making its full circle around the vehicle, unbeknownst to the investigators on standby, and with that, the scan was complete and the virtual imagery of the crash was captured.

So far, that checks out…

Fascinating… There truly are no tire marks, blood trail, or even any footprints that have been left behind… Not much telling which direction the vehicle had come from…

Hmm….

The drone skillfully maneuvered around the investigators and the pile of cardboard and evidence tape that had been seemingly discarded, and entered the mangled vehicle through the driver’s door that was left wide open and on the verge of falling off its hinges.

Clicking twice with her mouse and swiveling it around, the drone began to move in tune with Juri’s movements.

Every step of the way, from every angle, from varying distances… she made sure that a photograph was captured.

Tattered contract papers scattered all over the car mats and the backseats, pens of varying colors thrown about in haphazard directions, small notepads littered around the vehicle.

An absolute disaster.

Zooming in closer, Juri scanned through the state of the vehicle’s pigsty of an interior through her laptop screen once more before resuming studying the corpse. The drone’s camera zoomed in closer to Ikeishi’s body, capturing the glass shards that were lodged into his flesh.

The camera slowly panned over the corpse.

Shards of glass had been stabbed into various parts of the victim’s body. From up his arms, to his abdomen, his torso, his cheeks, his forehead, one large shard had been stuck in his left eye.

The now-dried blood had found its way on every part of the vehicle— splattered against the window, the steering wheel, staining the driver’s seat where Ikeishi lay lifelessly.

So even six days in, the body still hasn’t been sent to any labs…

How foolish.

Though it works in my favor, so I suppose I should be thanking you instead.

Midway through the panning, several voices outside murmured to each other and two investigators peered inside the vehicle.

Juri slowed her actions to a stop, the drone hovering in place despite it being completely hidden from view and deafened to the hearing.

“So the report said they were coming from that TV station…” one investigator murmured.

So I’ve read… Juri replied in her head as she listened in.

However…

The other investigator scanned Ikeishi’s body with their eyes. “Well, it’s likely that Miku Shirazuki had cleaned up the scene after killing Shohei Ikeishi. She could’ve wandered off and fell off the dock or she could have successfully made it out on her own and that’s why she hasn’t been located yet.”

Juri slightly moved her mouse to the side, the invisible drone now moving to capture the faces of the investigator.

I see now… the reason why nothing has been accomplished in the past six days…

These are all the incorrect questions to ask…

Taking samples of evidence… and then basing theories off of that.

Or in this case, key details and deciding factors that were too easy to miss.

Have they really spent all their time focusing on one little theory whilst ignoring any other possibilities…?

Juri repeated the contents of the police report she’d memorized the night before in her head.

Time of death has not yet been determined…

While it is true that leaves a lot unanswered…

That alone tells me more than enough.

The detectives drew back, their conversations fading into distant murmurs.

The drone silently snapped a photograph of Ikeishi’s corpse, then allowing Juri to carefully observe the photograph through her laptop.

Ikeishi’s body was slumped fully in his seat. With his head rigidly hanging down, his eyelids were shut, one left untouched and the other with a shard of glass stuck right through it.

Oh…

So it’s come to this…

Juri’s eyes began to water slightly after staring openly at the photograph before her for too long, otherwise she appeared completely unfazed by the gruesome image that took up the majority of the space on her laptop screen.

I did not intend to seek this answer when I began this… Poor Reiaki-chan, she’ll be absolutely devastated to hear the truth…

Juri sighed and resumed her scan inside the vehicle. No, she cannot hear the truth just yet. I cannot afford to have her hurt herself further due to this new discovery…

Change of actions. I must make haste before—

Juri’s nose suddenly twitched and she covered her nose with her cardigan sleeve. “Ugh…”

One of the passing workers laughed in passing. “Not used to the smell of the open sea, are ya?”

Juri chuckled through her muffled mouth. “I suppose it has been a while…” Through a gentle smile, she returned her attention to her laptop screen.

There was no doubt that the salty stench of the sea was so strong that it was almost a nuisance to Juri’s heightened sense of smell.

And yet there was something in the air that the young girl couldn’t quite put a finger on.

It was significantly faint considering how distant the ship was from the secured area.

Old and musty.

The smell of copper…

The stench of blood.

But there was something else.

The smell… Juri thought before looking up from her laptop. “No one would happen to have any beverages on them, would they?”

“We’ve got water onboard if you need any!” yelled a passing worker.

“Then, if you wouldn’t mind,” she said politely.

There was no telling what that strange subtle scent was.

The drone inside the vehicle rotated, turning its attention away from the corpse.

Zooming in and out through the camera, Juri scanned through the state of the vehicle’s pigsty of an interior through her laptop screen once more before resuming to studying Ikeishi’s body.

Juri, without so much of a reaction, pulled out a small hard drive from her white bag, inserting it into the side of her laptop and taking care to save every detail she could.

“I need some more key details,” Juri said quietly. “And I will be out of your way shortly…”

One of the passing workers paused in his tracks, shooting Juri a look with his eyes wide and his brows raised to the sky. “You’re finished already?”

“Not just yet,” Juri said as she continued to snap photographs of the vehicle’s interior. “However, I may be able to wrap this up sooner than even I had thought.”

And now that I have solid evidence that this is heading where I think this is heading…

“That’s impressive, Number 1810!”

Juri giggled awkwardly, never once turning away from her screen.

The balding man who had greeted her early on watched as Juri typed away into her laptop. Had she been in a different setting, it almost seemed like Juri was a student typing up an essay on her laptop, not a person who was trying to solve the mystery behind a person’s disappearance or death.

It was a familiar sight to him.

And yet something about the scene before him seemed foreign.

“You know,” the man began.

“Yes?”

“You’ve really come a long way.”

Juri didn’t look up at him and continued to type into her device. “Whatever do you mean?”

“You used to be a measly slave that only did as told, no questions asked. All skin and bones, you never spoke a word, and you were always cowering next to your owners,” He eyed her up and down. “Now look at you, you’ve changed your hair, you’ve finally put on more weight, and now you’re taking the lead and brimming with confidence.”

Juri stopped typing.

Did it seem that way?

Please…

A small smile crept up her lips.

It is but a fluke…

A woman seemingly in her late twenties to early thirties stood in front of a standing mirror, analyzing her own ensemble.

She had slate-blue eyes that stood out against the brown eyeliner that winged upwards, giving her eyes a more almond-like shape. Paired with the light ash-brown hair that was styled into a sleek, straight bob which made her round face appear even more round, she ran her hands— which were rosy in tone— across the bridge of her nose.

The woman stepped away from the mirror and slowly twirled, watching the way her black suede maxi skirt flowed and beige turtleneck hugged her chest.

She returned to staring at herself through the mirror, studying her ensemble.

“This is…” the woman began, her voice smooth like honey. She shook her head and focused back on the mirror.

“Well this is new,” she said again. This time, adding more breath to her voice, sounding lighter and more airy. She sighed, satisfied with her own voice.

Reiaki whistled as she took her hair down from its messy ponytail. “You really don’t sound anything like yourself, Juri-chan.”

The woman reached into her black bag, pulling out an ID card with her photo on it. She gazed at Reiaki through the mirror. “As long as I look like this,” she said, maintaining her sweet, breathy voice, “I’m Ayame Kojima, not Juri Yumesato.”

Printed across the ID card was indeed written, ‘Ayame Kojima.’

“I really don’t look like myself,” she said as she lightly caressed the bridge of her nose, where ‘Juri’s’ scar would have been.

Reiaki chuckled as she finger-combed through the short ash-brown wig that covered Juri’s usual muted rose and chiffon-white wavy locks. “Not to boost my own ego, but there’s a reason why Hollywood books me over and over again for their films.”

Reiaki placed her hands on the taller girl’s shoulders, spinning her around. She eyed her from head to toe. “These are the same prostheses and waxes that I use on set, so it’ll look realistic, even close up. And it’ll last pretty much forever— or until you cleanse them off. You’ll get through the day without needing to touch up. Maybe except for occasionally powdering down and shit.”

‘Ayame’ wrapped her arms around Reiaki in a tight hug. Very much unlike the gentle, loving hugs Reiaki was used to receiving from Juri, this one felt firm and professional.

True to character.

Reiaki smiled and patted her back. “You know… I can doctor you up all I want— make you look nothing like your usual self. But it’s all pointless if you don’t have the skill to get into character and act the part.” She broke away from the embrace, analyzing the girl in front of her. “Your voice’s changed, you’ve lost the posh-formal way of speaking and it sounds completely natural. Hell, even the way you’re standing right now is completely different!”

She snatched the ID from ‘Ayame’. “And these are forgeries? I’m no cop, but I’ve had to use my own ID a number of times. I can tell you now that this looks and feels like the real thing.” She tapped her nail against the card, listening to the clacking sound it made. “So how do you do it?”

‘Ayame’ placed her hands on her hips and with a sigh, she gazed at Reiaki through her ash-brown bangs. “Really, making the IDs was the easy part.”

Reiaki urged her to continue.

‘Ayame’ tapped on the ID that Reiaki was still holding. “I had several of these made years ago and had them saved on a drive.” She lowered her gaze, staring at the floor. The profiles were ready and put on standby. All I needed were profile pictures.”

Through her peripheral vision, she caught sight of the color of her own hand, which was far more saturated in comparison to her usual snow-white skin. Not to mention, the little gashes that usually littered across her fingertips were no longer there. Though she showed no signs of focusing on her hands, she couldn’t help but ponder on the fact that she wasn’t ‘Juri Yumesato’ here.

It was jarring.

But it also felt nostalgic.

She patted Reiaki’s head. “I meant it when I said I couldn’t do this without you. Your roommate really is lucky to have you.”

Reiaki stiffened. This really was strange. She knew exactly who she was conversing with. And yet the person before her bore no resemblance to her mentioned roommate.

All through the night while Ayato was asleep, Reiaki was put to work, pulling every trick in the book to turn ‘Juri Yumesato’ into ‘Ayame Kojima.’ Gluing different prostheses using medical adhesives onto Juri’s cheeks to round out her naturally sculpted features, applying waxes over the textured scars, faking the shape of Juri’s eyes with eyeliner to erase any traces of her Caucasian roots.

The process felt neverending.

From the superficial aspects such as her current getup, down to the finest of details. Including wearing a different set of clothes to take the photo for the ID card and messing up the wig’s natural parting after taking the photo.

Reiaki chuckled. “Well I appreciate the praise.” She reached for the wine-colored lipstick and lip brush from her vanity. Juri-chan… I know what you’re doing… You’re just avoiding the question…

‘Ayame’ stilled as she allowed Reiaki to paint her lips using the lip brush.

‘You’re just avoiding the question…’ is what you are thinking right about now.

You would be correct.

And that’s fine by me, Reiaki thought as she blurred the edges of her now wine-colored lips with her ring finger.

And that is alright with me, thought the person behind Ayame’s disguise.

Reiaki took a step back, carefully eyeing the woman in front of her. With a curt nod, she packed the lipstick into a nearby black handbag.

‘Ayame’ grabbed the bag by its handle, checking the contents inside.

“You got everything with you?” Reiaki asked.

‘Ayame’ blinked. “I mean… I don’t think I forgot anything?”

Reiaki crossed her arms. “Phone?”

“Of course.”

“Spare change of clothes?”

“Wouldn’t dream of leaving them behind.”

“What about your earplugs?”

‘Ayame’ laughed. “You know… between you and ‘Juri,’ who’s the real mom here? Besides, the world’s way too noisy. Can’t imagine leaving those behind.”

Reiaki laughed. “I’m just looking out for you, okay?” She stood on the tips of her toes and paused. “Hmm… I’d give you a kiss but uh… you’re covered in wax and prosthetics…”

‘Ayame’ leaned in and quickly pecked Reiaki’s cheek, leaving a wine-colored lip print there. “There. Happy?”

Reiaki giggled. “Yup! But… it’s weird getting a kiss from you and not the Juri I know.” She poked ‘Ayame’s’ shoulder with her sharp nail. “Look, just be safe out there, okay?”

The brunette sighed as she opened the front door. “Yes, yes, I’ll be home before you know it. I’ll see you soon, then.”

Reiaki continued waving, even after the woman disappeared from view.

Now that ‘Ayame’ was out of sight, the memories of the previous day when Juri came home from her investigation flooded her mind.

“What did you just say…?”

Juri washed her hands over the kitchen sink. “I will need your help for this next step I will have to take if I want to locate Miku Shirazuki.”

She switched off the faucet and dried her hands off. “So on one hand, it’s become clear to me as to what happened. All that is left is to find the ‘who’ and the ‘where’.”

Reiaki carefully studied her roommate. “You’re hiding something from me… what happened to Ikeishi-san and Miku-chan…? What did you find at the container yard…?”

Juri smiled back at Reiaki, clearly choosing her next words carefully before finally speaking. “I promise, when I locate Miku Shirazuki, I’ll tell you all of what I know. Please, just know that I am only a few steps closer to getting to the bottom of this. This will all be solved sooner than you think.”

Slowly, Reiaki wiped off the glossy lip print left on her cheek. With a loud exhale, she dropped her hand and gripped tightly at the strings of her shorts.

“I mean it… Please be safe and come back home…”

No, don’t…

Get that away from me, please…

What’re you going to do…?

I’m tired of it all, already…

What more are you all going to do to me?!

AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! THESE GUYS ARE FINALLY HERE!!!!!!!!

Everybody, please! Go follow this blog! Not only is this admin my best friend, she’s like a big sister to me and this team has been in the making since the June!

Nagasaki Division

Admin: @alyonathecelestial

Desolate Paradise is the Nagasaki Division representative rap team consisting of high school student Atlas Kazanari, museum tour guide Ax, and their leader, heiress and university student Anaia Mitsuzume. Their designated color is aquamarine.

All members wear a gold coin as part of their ensemble. You can find a gold coin hanging from Atlas' right ear and necklace, while Ax wears his gold coin on his left ear, and Anaia's coin rests on a delicate gold chain around her neck.

The gold chain is a symbol of power, luxury, and financial security. Theirs are thought of as pieces of treasure, as they each hold a valuable share in their collective success as a team.

Their hand sign represents the "heart of the ocean", formed by curving the four fingers and outstretching the thumbs downward, to create half of a "hand-heart". Onstage, they each hold out their half and complete each others' heart.

Nagasaki is a port city known for its century-long trading history with Europeans. Nagasaki contains numerous historic sites and is considered an important tourist centre— its industry is still based upon its large shipyards.

Many Thanks!!!

To everyone who had a hand in preparing a gift for the Queen, thanks a whole bunch! I’m running all sorts of wild with drawing group costumes for other blogs, helping a friend out with a new division (yes, you read that correctly!), and on top of that, all this! Glad to know that she’s deserving of love, even if she’s not the easiest to gift for! Until next time! Stay tuned for Anika Kiyozaki’s birthday over at @akihabara-division03 !

“That about wraps up for tonight’s show. I would like to thank each and every one of my subjects for taking time out of your day and night to join me for tonight’s festivities! For your birthday wishes! I am the Queen Card, and thank you all for joining us tonight at The Kingdom of True Deception!”

[minato-division03]

Her Majesty, Queen Card of the bustling city of Minato had just finished yet another successful magic show despite it being her birthday, she still wanted to give her adoring subjects a show as a treat for them being so lovely.

She was now relaxing in her personal green room backstage when she called out "Come in" before the person on the other side of the door could knock. A moment passed, most likely the person getting over the shock of being identified so fast before opening the door. Ah, it was one of her assistants and it seems they were carrying a present.

"Apologies, Your Majesty, but we received this right before you went out to perform, it was addressed to you."

Queen Card raised an eyebrow from behind her mask however she was not at all intrigued, it was her birthday after all, of course gifts would given to her, usually she would open them and depending on if they captured her interest or not, would give them away or keep them for future acts on her show, she made a gesture to give her the gift and the assistant graciously handed over the box.

After shooing them away, she placed the box on her vanity desk and opened it, revealing not one, but two items inside...

...The first item being a crystal apple filled with a liquid that Queen Card found unidentifiable but after looking at it closely, she immediately figured out that this was an enhancer of some kind, different from the ones she's seen. How curious...

The second item was a pocket watch, upon opening it, she was intrigued to find not only a watch mechanism but also a mirror of some kind...actually...no, that wasn't right...

As Queen Card lifted the watch and looked through the mirror, she was pleasantly surprised to find that the 'mirror' was actually a kaleidoscope, showing body thermos and a tracker, keeping tabs on what or who is friend, foe, and neutral.

Placing the gifts away, she pulled out a card that was sitting at the bottom of the box.

'Happy Birthday to the Queen of Minato, you're a hard woman to get a gift for but if you have any use of these or find any amusement from them then I guess that's mission accomplished. Enjoy your day.

- Venefica (but knowing you, you already figured out who I am).'

Intriguing…

Beautiful, the items she had received were.

Although…

She wasn’t sure how to feel about receiving an advanced device from another.

Even if it was a curious product with fascinating mechanics.

The risk is far too great.

After all, she didn’t know where the materials that went into forging it had originated from.

She chuckled and closed the ‘pocket watch.’ Perhaps I’ll find a use for you one day, little one… she thought as she reached for the crystal vial in the shape of an apple.

“‘Venefica,’ hm?”

“It is as you say, my subject. I know all. I know all there is to your name, your little friends’ names, I understand all that you do, even the things that you yourself are unaware of.”

“And yet you find that fact to be of little importance.”

Thank you for the gifts!

[minato-division03]

Night had long since settled on the division of Minato and a certain Queen was preparing for her performance and even if she didn't like to receive gifts, Her Majesty would be getting a bit of a surprise soon. Getting a notice that gifts had been dropped off for her Queen card sighed and told them to bring them to her grabbing the larger one when they were brought in she began to open it.

The first gift was a cake shaped like a black and green fairytale castle. Seeing there was also a card the magician picked it up and began to read.

Queen Card,

Happy Birthday! I was inspired by RM’s fairytale theme so I hope you, your teammates, and your crew find it delicious. Enjoy your birthday!

– Kanra A.

Turning her attention to the other gift Queen Card reached over to open it wanting to see what else was sent to her.

Inside the second gift was a silver queen chess piece embedded with emeralds the size of her palm. Seeing a note alongside the gift, Queen Card picked it up and began to read.

Queen Card,

Happy Birthday, Your Majesty. I know you enjoy making things yourself so I hope you enjoy what I made. While you may be named after a playing card a queen piece is close enough don’t you think?

– Akari H.

It was the team’s lunch break. Not just for the Queen and her team, but for her personal staff, the television crew, the theatre staff who had booked this location for her.

As everyone helped themselves to slices of the cake that really was too beautiful to slice into, the Queen Card had her sight set on something else.

The chess piece that rested lightly on her snow-white palm.

What to do with something like you? the Queen thought. You serve as ornamentation, but there is not much use for something like you…

She unfocused her vision until the chess piece in her hands became the centre focus and the staff all behind it that gathered around the cake became blurred objects.

A chess piece, hm?

The Queen piece… the most powerful piece on the chess board…

Perhaps you do have something to offer, after all.

Thanks for the gifts!

ARB Birthday Special: Queen Card

~ October 26th ~

"Obsessed by fairytales, we spend our lives searching for a door and a lost kingdom of peace."

Login Lines

“Oh, dear… How fast the year went by, for my birthday has dawned upon us yet again.“

“I have long accepted that I will never fully understand the appeal to celebrating one’s birthday. I find it to be quite ridiculous, really. However, there are many around me who celebrate this day dedicated to my existence. Though I cannot fathom it, today is a day to celebrate.”

Voice Lines

“Tis the weekend. And therefore, everybody is running wild. ‘The Kingdom of True Deception’ is hosting a live show tonight and it will be set to air… oh dear me, would you look at that. I will have to mail the agent, seeing as I have lost track of the episodes that have aired thus far.”

“And unsurprisingly, tonight’s live show has fallen on my birthday. And I have prepared especially for tonight’s entertainment! I have no doubt that my wonderful audience will find tonight’s act glorious! I must take care to treat my staff especially well tonight as there is far too much to prepare.”

“I awoke this morning to an endless stream of comments left under my promotional post on PROFILE, wishing their queen a happy birthday. From fans who have paid a visit to previous shows to fans who have yet the opportunity, even to friends and families whom I have helped in the past through criminology work. It is tiresome and unnecessary. But the thoughts and wishes have been heard, my subjects. And I thank you all.”

“My dear, Reiaki-chan, do not run on the stage, there are a number of dangerous props around. Goodness, what could be so important that you come running to me? A present? After ordering you time and time again that carelessly spending for me on this day has no merit…”

“Hah… Very well. Let us see what you have gifted me. A pair of dice? With twenty sides, it would seem… with dark marbling and a geode-like design to it… For an insolent being who never listens, you are quite the attentive one. Yes, yes, off you go, now. And… I thank you.”

“Miku-chan? Oh, goodness, who knew you would be startled so. You’ve been made aware I had excused you for the week since you have exams brewing soon. Even when your Queen is speaking to you, you still find ways to go against me. Curses… I shall accept this gift you’ve taken time to prepare for me.”

“What have we here? A candle? Surrounded by various herbs, as well… all of which I believe I am familiar with. A ‘blessing candle’? Why must you go out of your way to present me with an item I have no use for? Enough. I have no need— hmph. Very well, then. Your gift has been well-received; my dear. I appreciate not of your antics of going against me, however, your consideration for your Queen is appreciated. Thank you, my dear Miku-chan.”

Reiaki Lines:

“Your Majestyyyyyy! (pant, pant) I… forgot…! To hand you your birthday present… while I was getting you ready…! Phew, okay! Your present! Well, that’s good, then! Because I didn’t spend carelessly! The Queen’s birthday is not a day to be taken lightly! Gotta celebrate it!”

“Yay! You won’t be disappointed! Here you go! It’s a lot more small-scale than what I normally like to give you, but you’re not exactly the easiest to buy for, y’know? It’s meant to be used for people who play Dungeons and Dragons, but I feel like one of your future performances could use a dice like this. Hehe! I’ve got a good eye for these things! But I’ll go help the others where it’s needed now. Tonight’s gonna be an epic show! Happy Birthday again!”

Miku Lines

“Your Majesty? You’re not in your dressing room, where are you…? Whoa, shit— hell, you scared me, don’t pop up around the corner like that… Hah… anyway, I’m free from studying for now, so I can hang here, can’t I? Tch, I put a lot of effort into making a present for you, just take it, okay? Geez…”

“A blessing candle. I made the candle myself and I picked the herbs myself. This sort of candle can do wonders for you because of the dangerous world we live in, Your Majesty. There’s many things this candle can do, but most of all, I want this to bless your home for autumn. Set back change in your home, cleanse, and provide some protection. I’m trusting you with everything I got here. But who’s going to have your back? Look, keep this as reassurance, okay? Happy Birthday.”
