Rivers And Roads

何江言又在我的床上睡著了。

我對他凌晨之前經歷了什麼沒有概念，也沒有興趣。社交平台偶爾可以瞥到哪裡又出了事情，還有偶爾跳出來的頭條，但我一個字都沒看直接略過，我有自己的生活。我跟他已經很久沒有聯繫，wts自從不能用了我也沒有再登錄，他也沒再用過微信。他沒空，我也沒空。

但他又到我家來了，而且我又不在家。

我今天跟同事出去喝酒，佔了一身酒氣和孜然味，順帶一點小龍蝦的鮮甜。停好車進入單元樓，前台物業走上來跟我通報：「何先生今天又過來了。有什麼困擾的嗎？我們可以幫您聯繫。」

我擺擺手：「不用不用。」

物業人員依然有點憂心忡忡地看著我，似乎在暗示我有難處可以直說。

我只能委屈樓上的人：「他是我前男友。⋯⋯希望你能保密。辛苦你們了，不用攔著他，他不會傷害我，也不會有安保問題的。」

隨後露出一些為難的神色。

物業人員臉上的驚訝一瞬即逝，不過他專業素養很高，馬上點頭表示理解，幫我按了電梯：「那祝您生活愉快。」

「謝謝。」

還前男友，我下輩子都追不到他。梁圳你可真要臉。

我靠著電梯間後面走廊的窗戶吹了一會風，在心裡構思了一千遍他會把家裡搞成什麼樣，他這回醒著還是睡著，我要怎麼斟酌自己的用詞。

想到後面覺得自己有病，喜歡的男人跑來自己家，我搞得跟窩藏罪犯一樣，直接回頭用指紋鎖開了門。

我在玄關看到他的球鞋，走廊沒有開燈，上次買的夜燈照著地面，陽台開著門，這次他記得關陽台燈了。

臥室門虛掩著，有空調的氣息，裡面一片黑暗。我的臥室門有點問題，每次關上��都要推一下，鎖才會完全滑進門框的凹槽，但是他不知道。

我透過門縫看他，他側著埋進我的記憶棉枕頭，整個人沉沉的，呼吸聲輕不可聞。

我把門關好，轉頭進了客間。

剛搬新家的時候我拽著他的手給他錄了指紋。我不介意他隨便進我家，我希望他來辦事的時候先想到我而不是酒店。雖然這是沒有依據的想法，但他當時答應了——如果過來會找我。

但他是何江言，他不會如我所想直接進門給我個驚喜，他每次來深圳都會提前給我打電話，或者不打電話。他總是很禮貌，提前問好我在不在，有沒有空招待他，如果我忙他甚至會直接回去，不管已經是幾點、他回紅磡要多久，只要我的行程不是空到只能在家躺屍，他多半都會走。

他沒有用過這個權限——直到上一次他來我家。

我加班成疾，九點下班是家常便飯。他其實也是，我們的時間經常向加班妥協，時間久了甚至除了加班沒有什麼娛樂能填充飯後到晚9點的時間。

但我那天下班路上繞去了高新園接陳南，她感冒了，不想再等滴滴排隊220位。我送她回家後再回家，十一點多，開門看到走廊燈是開著的時候我差點抄起門旁的雨傘。

但是我沒有，因為我發現陽台門開著，而且照明也開著，但客廳原原本本的沒有動過。

這讓我想起了何江言，他來我家喜歡去陽台看風景。我住在很高的樓宇，陽台視野寬闊可以看到深圳河，還有新界的一個小角落，很小，因為我在福田。但它面對深南大道，腳底是車水馬龍，遠眺是川流不息，他可能因此而喜歡來陽台待著。

於是我猜是他。

我鎖好門走到臥室門口，看到臥室裡照明用的小燈被他打開了，而何江言本言在我的床上睡著。

他沒睡客間，睡在了我的床上。

我不知道他潛台詞是不是不介意我在他旁邊睡下，畢竟他從來都會禮貌的要求睡客間（哪怕我在客間沒��掃的情況下把主臥讓出來給他睡），而現在要睡客間的變成了我。

我站在門口，透過縫隙看了他不知道多久。最後我也不知道為什麼嘆了口氣，脫下鞋子輕手輕腳地走到照明燈旁邊關上，然後小心地關上了門。

第二天我起床上班，打開門，他竟然還在睡著。

我彈性上班，為了和要趕回金鐘而早起的他錯開，我特意比平常上班時間晚一點起，結果這位根本沒醒。

我再看了一眼手機，今天是週四。

我沒有叫他。我覺得他過來就是來睡覺的，可能他家有什麼讓他睡不著的東西，所以他大晚上的坐了一整條東鐵綫到皇崗口岸打了個的來到自己討厭的人家裡睡覺。另外我不知道怎麼面對剛醒的他，是假裝自己一點都不好奇，老好人的噓寒問暖，還是製造開幕審問？

只要我們兩個都醒著就無話可談。身為他討厭的人，我實在是不知道如何跟他相處了。

所以我走進房間把窗簾放下讓他接著睡，在客廳水壺旁邊放下我當早餐吃的麵包片，出門上班了。

到樓下的時候我問了問物業人員關於昨晚出現的人。物業告訴我，何江言是十點左右進入樓宇的，剛進來物業人員就因為不眼熟他而上前詢問他是哪裡的住戶。

「那位先生很明確的答出了房號和您的名字，說是來拜訪您的，所以我們放他進去了。」物業說。

「他處在什麼狀態嗎？」我問，「喝醉酒之類的。」

「沒有。」他搖頭。「他的神色很自然，只是看起來有些疲憊。」

「能麻煩你們留意一下他幾點走的嗎？」

這對有交接班的物業來說就有點難了，不過前台人員表示會盡力和中午班溝通。我謝過他們，去負一樓取車。

回來的時候物業主動走上前，告訴我昨天的同事們都幫我留意了何江言：「午班同事紀錄是十點半。」

「你們真的好強啊。」我由衷的欽佩。「謝謝你們，服務一流。」

雖然這個小區的物業費高到同行聞風喪膽，但自從我搬進來感覺還是非常物有所值，現在則已經認為是超值了。

「午班的同事說何先生有一張讓人印象深刻的帥臉，其他人還真不一定會留意。」前台物業笑道。「梁先生，還有什麼需要幫忙的嗎？」

「有。」我說。「麻煩你幫我留意一下他，如果他又來了，我回來時跟我說。」

「好的。」他幫我按下電梯。

我謝過物業人員進入電梯，按了自己的樓層。等到電梯門快關閉的時候，我猛的按下了開門鍵，重新對上物業的視線。

「他姓何。」我提高了一點音量。「何處的何。麻煩你了。」

第三天，我網購的發光地毯到了。

這是��在客間睡覺的時候突然想到的，我發現除��陽台，其他開著的燈都是為了他能摸到去臥室的路。我的公寓是兩室一廳，兩間房間不在一邊，雜物間、半開放的廚房和第二個陽台散落在客廳周圍，在一片黑中需要時間分辨。

雖然在家各地的插座插上小夜燈也是種選擇，但是對我來說就是無敵的光污染了。每天回家看到無數小燈管在黑暗中發光，會有種玩恐怖遊戲調查線索點的感覺。

我從客廳到陽台和客廳去臥室的方向鋪了兩條，這個地毯軟軟的，而且覆蓋面積很大，黑暗中發出溫和的海洋光，我踩了一晚上，倒是非常上癮。

在我鋪好的四天後，何江言又出現在了我家。

但今晚並不理想，半夜打雷了。

我迷迷糊糊地被吵醒，外面閃電無數。我不喜歡拉窗簾睡覺，我家附近沒有雷射，睜著眼睛的時候喜歡看窗外的星星燈火，所以一到雷暴天氣我總是會醒，但我很快就可以入睡。

我重新閉上眼睛，然而不到兩秒就下床出門。

何江言不是。他的公寓有窗的地方就有窗簾，他睡不好，喜歡一片黑睡覺，不然很容易被驚醒，他曾經跟我說起過。而我的臥室窗戶很大，通風很好，打雷的時候白光會覆蓋床的左邊，直逼眼睛。

我不敢確定我進去的動靜會不會驚醒他，但是如果我不拉窗簾，天空一定會驚醒他。我開了他的門，悄悄走進去幫他拉窗簾，硬是拉了半輩子，時不時回頭看他的動靜。期間我發現他穿著襯衫就這麼睡了，於是我高速運轉的腦子開始分析要不要給他買身睡衣，H&M基礎款就可以。

他皺著眉頭，但是沒有翻身，也沒有聲響，看樣子還在睡。我使命達成，溜回自己床上躺好，突然覺得自己一套操作，從入門到精通都非常神奇。

我圖什麼呢，我苦笑一聲。我跟他連一句話都說不了。

我早上醒來，大雨還在劈裡啪啦。走到臥室，何江言已經沒了。

我看著主臥窗外的驟雨，思索了幾秒何江言有沒有傘。後來又一想，如果他完事了直接來我家，那他有傘的可能性趨向百分百，但如果他真的帶到了家裡，我不可能沒看見。

我自己洗漱完走到廚房，麵包片果然沒有被動過。每次他來我家的第二天早上，這個家就會被時間停止，他不喝水不吃早餐，把所有痕跡收拾乾淨就會直接消失。

這只能解釋成他真的一點都不想留下什麼，也許是他過來的時候可能不夠清醒，但走的時候一定很清醒，記得他討厭這個住戶，所以就當一時衝動，處理現場，冷靜離開。

我拿麵包片的動作停頓了兩秒，扎好口袋揚手丟去餐桌。

接下來的一個星期我都儘量九點半到家，無事發生。

我每天晚上回家也不開燈，就先踩一圈發光地板，真的有效的轉換了我的心情狀態。我感覺我的家現在更有些家居風了，就好像所謂的什麼成家後給自己的居住空間增加更多生活氣息，貼心小裝飾增添舒適感之類的。我以前沒有這個需要，現在想起來後發現，這就是無法讓人拒絕的「經營一下生活」。

我不經營生活。我習慣了高壓工作，得空出門跑跑步，買杯可樂進影院看電影，跟同事們聚會，去全國各地出差。生活一旦開始添彩就會滋生更多想法，比如想偷懶，想找對象，不想漲工資，不想加班，所以沒有必要。

到此為止就足夠。

我跟林銘燁閒聊的時候提到讓我樂此不疲的地毯，她眉毛一挑，問我：「竟然裝飾家裡，打算談戀愛了？」

我回答：「何江言你認識嗎？」

「認識啊。」

「你覺得我跟他可能嗎？」

「不可能。」我的美女搭檔斬釘截鐵。

「所以我沒有。」

她用她聰明絕頂的腦瓜思考了幾秒，無情的發出了聲嘲笑。我把她桌上的文件夾拿起來一摔，她笑得更大聲了。

怎麼我身旁的女同事就會欺負我，這明明就是先跑來我家的何江言不對。

但我也沒趕他出去，行吧。小梁認輸。

小梁苦笑一聲，遁回自己工位了。

週末我跟陳南去了一趟她的母校科技大。陳南在研發部，遇上了一些困難，想去母校跟教授討論，看看能不能抓到幸運的師弟師妹。她把我扯上開車，順便將我作為上司介紹給教授，還能面試一下新苦力。

在車上的時候她問我：「何江言住在哪？」

「紅磡。」

「那邊你熟嗎？」

「全香港我都熟。」

我走過沒被改造修繕的囍帖街，坐過藍色打光的摩天輪，記得所有蘋果店的位置，進入過維港岸邊所有知名的地標，吃過東鐵綫周邊大大小小的特色餐館，拜過每一間神廟上過香，熟練地應對任何崎嶇考驗車技的公路。這些地方有我和何江言，有我。

我上路往北區開，問她：「有興趣？」

她點頭：「想在這裡吃梁哥的雲吞麵。」

「那我們就去吃雲吞麵。」

我本來想去印象中附近就有��一間，結果已經結業了，於是我乾脆開上北區，去了一間老闆娘的兒子都認識我的店舖。

生意一如既往興隆，老闆娘眼尖把我們安排在剛騰出來的空位。兩碗雲吞麵上來，我開口：「邊緣也會有水⋯⋯」

然後陳南就直接伸手抓了邊緣往自己面前推，收穫了一爪子湯。

我的話卡在半空，熟練的從口袋拿出一包紙巾，抽出一張給她。

陳南臉上充滿了沒想到，接過擺擺手表示感謝：「我都不帶紙巾。出門會想到帶紙巾的男生多半都是為了照顧女朋友，沒想到梁哥你這麼細心，是個潛力股。」

我嘴角抽了抽，告訴她：「何江言帶紙巾。我以前出去都用他的。」

現在我自己出門，所以得自己帶。

陳南睜大了眼睛，隨後惋惜地拍了拍我的肩膀。「我知道你為什麼這麼喜歡他了。」

「你最好是知道。」我笑著頭也不抬的損回去，拆開筷子開動。

我們把今天辦下來的事情都放到了第二天週一處理，所以週一的時候我足足十一點半才回家。

物業人員久違的再次走到我面前跟我報告：「何先生來了，九點到的。」

「喔，好⋯⋯九點？？」

我渙散的精神清醒了。

我最後一次跟他說話是在不知道幾個月前。

他當時跟我吃完了飯，在路上說起他們自己的事情。他把他的煩惱帶著他自己的情緒跟我說了一通，還有他要如何應對接下來的麻煩事，然后等我的态度。

我沒有吱聲。我跟他想的不一樣，但是如果開口反駁他，絕對不適合。我跟他環境、思考都不一樣，我其實有些不理解，也有些希望他可以告訴我他為什麼這麼想，但他對我們之間巨大的鴻溝感到頭疼，並且同樣不能理解我。

幾秒後，他在我身旁說：「如果我只是說了這些話而不需要反應，我會直接對著家裡隨便一面牆談話而不是來找你。」

或者當個和事佬，或者轉移話題。

我禮貌的笑著——我一直笑著，想要繼續聊天。我說：「或許用緩和一些的方法比較好？」

我開始說一些我自己的想法，卻被他打斷。他已經有了自己的想法，這是出自他自己的意志。他也不是來找我商討秘方，因為他的身旁有專業的人，整天跟他生活在一起，他會去聽他們的，而不是我這個深圳河以北的雲玩家。

我既然覺得這些是他面對的問題，為什麼不支持他？他只需要我支持他。他說。

但我說不出這句支持。我希望他能解決問題，但我不覺得他的做法就可以把這些煩惱處理得當。我覺得我的想法對他多少會有參考價值，但他其實只要我把百分百的信任和支持交給他。

「你自己也覺得我所面對的是他人施壓給我的不公，為什麼卻叫我這個受害者委曲求全？」

他最後笑了，譏諷地說：「你真虛偽。我討厭虛偽的人。」

我沒有再說話。在那個時候，我發現我已經無法再跟他溝通了，他在我這裡什麼都得不到。我只讓他失望了。

我沒有看他，他看了我幾秒，轉身自己走去了地鐵站。

「我回去了。」他甩給我一句。

「拜拜。」我回答他。

這是我們最後一次有所交集。我知道了他討厭我，所以我沒有再去聯繫他，也沒有說出那句「到家了告訴我一聲」。他也沒有。

我不覺得他有錯，也不覺得自己有錯。他不需要我說我只是想幫助他，我也不願意說我理解了我無條件支持你。

那天我所真正理解的是，我和他對對方的在乎只會傷害對方。我除了接受再無選擇。

所以我們再也無話可說。

他不想跟我說話，我也不想跟他說話。所以我們對這種狀態沒有意見。

今天他卻九點就到家了，是想要碰運氣，試一試會不會直接跟下班的我撞上嗎？

我打開門的時候是11點13分。

玄關的燈開著，陽台的門開著。一片黑中我瞇起眼睛，發現客廳有所擺動，廚房也有水杯被清洗好。

主臥的門好好的關著，看來他知道了。

我鎖好家門踱到主臥門口，從門縫確認了一下裡面沒有燈，決定不開門打擾他睡覺了。我折回陽台把門關好，順便把曬著的睡衣褲收好，進了洗手間一套操作，回到客間正準備愉快的躺下刷半小時手機，發現我的枕頭棉被沒了。

？？

我堅信何江言不會讓我沒得睡，所以思考了幾種可能性後，我一下子確定了一個很不妙的想法。

我先坐在客間依依不捨的刷了半小時手機，然後站起來深呼吸幾次，出門進了主臥。

還真就在主臥。

他可能是睡不慣我的記憶棉枕頭，把客間的枕頭拿來墊了。我的主臥是雙人床，他睡在靠窗的一邊，被子和記憶棉枕頭放在另一邊。

另外一個令人矚目的就是他真的穿了我放給他的睡衣。那是我在公司附近買的，比我的碼數大一個，我也不知道合不合身，但至少只寬不緊。我買到了就放在床的另一邊，忘了收回去，他竟然能看到。

我站在黑暗裡大氣都不敢出，尋思著，他這是讓我就在這睡呢，還是用這種方式告訴我別大半夜跑過來發神經，拿好東西就滾呢？

不過我今天坐在辦公室坐得太久了，某種意義上我確實挺需要主臥的床，我當時特意選的比較硬，睡得很舒服。

而且現在已經快一點了，我真的需要睡覺。

我給了自己一分鐘，縱容本人像個傻屌一樣站在自己的床邊不知所措，然後我睡到了他旁邊。

在頭躺下去之前我把呼吸聲放的很輕很輕，微微撐起��子，一動不動地看他。

何江言已經睡著了，往日梳上去的背頭搭下來遮住了他的額頭和眉毛。我一邊看，一邊把腦子裡所有的想法全部壓下去，連眼神都放得有點渙散，看著他平穩的呼吸起伏，眉頭深鎖，似乎又是不安穩的一晚。

他討厭我，所以我不會做那些讓他討厭我的事。我不想讓他更討厭我。

我躺好裹被，將視線面向天花板，麻木地帶著疲憊開始讓自己進入睡眠。

往常那邊是空的，我習慣了紡織物本身冰涼的氣息。但此刻在我身旁的是一個溫暖的熱源，更是一片停留在我童年到少年時期的庇護，還是現在青年時期的我所有的仰慕和追隨。我不敢去觸碰，也不敢去打擾，更不想藉此機會去宣告我對他的佔有。我們都很疲憊。

我小心翼翼地扯了一下被子，湊到鼻子上聞了聞，慢慢閉上眼睛。

那是我再熟悉不過的味道。我現在像個被一大堆栗子砸傻了頭的松鼠，往日在回憶尋找的珍貴的餘溫突然唾手可得，大片大片的生息將自己包圍。

有些人沒有故鄉，只有可以回去的人。今晚的我短暫的回到了他身邊，不做任何他想，在睡夢時刻選擇與他相互依靠。

後半夜迷迷糊糊的時候我好像短暫的醒了一次。他側著我睡，跟我的距離近在咫尺。

他高我一點，而我越睡越脫離枕頭往下，所以我需要記憶棉。他靠在我的眉毛附近，我微微撇過頭就能看到他平靜的睡顏，呼吸聲在我能聽清的地方，音量不大。

我喜歡他的眼睛，那裡是維多利亞港。這張英氣逼人的臉即使睡著也有一種具有攻擊性的氣息，即使人睡著時幾乎解除了所有防備，他的肢體動作也從不是放鬆的。

除了現在，隔著被子，他湊到了我旁邊。

我突然想，我能夠成為他的可以回去的人嗎？

我什麼時候可以成為他的，可以回去的人呢？

我感到一陣乾澀的情緒往我的喉嚨衝。我閉上眼睛，保持著將頭微微挪過那邊的姿勢，重新入睡。

後半程我做了個夢。

我夢到我去香港的不知道哪裡買了個房，何江言來找我玩。我們玩得很開心，裝傢俱，吃飯，在大陽台上我拉著他的手讓他別靠欄杆外面靠這麼近。我藏著掖著的喜歡在他面前一覽無餘，而他將這些感情全部接受，好像什麼都市電視劇的美滿大結局。

最後我跟他在路上分開了，而且我清楚地知道那是我最後一次見他。我跟他說到了給我��息，他說好，溫柔的鬆開了我們握著的手，我送別他，然後他再也不記得我。

我一覺昏迷到十點，醒來我自己都震驚了。

鬧鐘明顯已經響過了，身旁也沒有人——何江言回去上班了，窗簾拉上了，空調溫度24。我留給他的那身衣服，他好好的疊在枕頭上。

我抓起手機直奔工作群，幸好今天還算清閒。先簡單處理了一下交接的事務，迅速洗漱換好衣服，風風火火的準備出門，去廚房拿麵包的時候卻愣住了。

一份煎蛋吐司加火腿片，一盒維他奶，一杯溫水。

我家沒有維他奶。是他過來的時候帶的，包裝是繁體字。

我站在廚房口，手上的動作停在系領帶，有些感情慢慢的在心中脹開，又麻又讓人哽咽。

只要我們都醒著就會無話可說。

所以我們只能有一方醒著。只有一方醒著，我們對對方的感情才會正常運轉，所以我們極力逃避面對對方。他告訴我他也是這樣。

我恨不得他真的討厭我，可是我希望他其實並不討厭我。

END.

前塵往事

H：「時光已逝永不回，往事只能回味」，「往事如煙時隔多年是誰把歲月寫在眉宇之間？」最早知道「往事」1970，是從歌詞

「往事只能回味」得知。李煜虞美人「春花秋月何時了？往事知多少。」古人的往事詩情畫意，凡人的往事，白開水一杯，平淡無奇。一般人只能依稀記得，能精準說出的只能靠記錄，當然，燒了毀了，化成煙更成霧了。

「我的青春一去無影蹤

我的青春小鳥一去不回來」，「千金難買早知道，世間沒有後悔藥！無法重來就重新開始，雨過亦有天晴時，鹹魚豈無翻身日，我命由我不由天。」前塵往事記得最好，記不得也没關係，因為最後化作雲彩，飛向天空！

桃花依舊艷蝶兒在彩雲間

清風吹動了誰藏好的琴弦

昨夜燈火闌珊清晨峰迴路轉

踏過汪洋又逢了幾座青山

片刻的因緣如同曇花一現

揮手那天時光流逝指縫間

若非太多虧欠若不是不勇敢

怎會明白世間愛恨難兩全

往事如煙時隔多年

是誰把歲月寫在眉宇之間

牽掛的人吶好久不見

留不住莽莽撞撞幾個少年

往事如煙時隔多年

舊情人如今陪在誰的身邊

離合悲歡幾分遺憾

彈指間寫進那匆匆的流年

遙遙懷念

桃花依舊艷蝶兒在彩雲間

清風吹動了誰藏好的琴弦

昨夜燈火闌珊清晨峰迴路轉

踏過汪洋又逢了幾座青山

片刻的因緣如同曇花一現

揮手那天時光流逝指縫間

若非太多虧欠若不是不勇敢

怎會明白世間愛恨難兩全

太陽下山明朝依舊爬上來

花兒謝了明年還是一樣的開

我的青春一去無影蹤

我的青春小鳥一去不回來

別的那樣喲　別的那樣喲

我的青春小鳥一去不回來

這首歌我們祖先唱了千萬次

現在輪到他們的子孫來唱

日月輪迴依舊

花開花謝依然

多少青春繼續不回

地下埋藏的　為自由付出的代價

是否我們已經忘記

黃花崗的靈魂　他們地下有知

能否原諒我們

話說薛寶釵道：「到底分個次序，讓我寫出來。」說著，便令眾人拈鬮為序。起首恰是李氏，然後按次各各開出。鳳姐兒道：「既這麼說，我也說一句在上頭。」眾人都笑起來了，說：「這麼更妙了！」寶釵將稻香老農之上補了一個「鳳」字，李紈又將題目講給他聽。

鳳姐兒想了半天，笑道：「你們別笑話我。我只有了一句粗話，可是五個字的。下剩的我就不知道了。」眾人都笑道：「越是粗話越好。你說了，就只管幹正事去罷。」鳳姐兒笑道：「想下雪必刮北風，昨夜聽見一夜的北風，我有一句。這一句就是『一夜北風緊。』使得使不得，我就不管了。」眾人聽說，都相視笑道：「這句雖粗，不見底下的，這正是會作詩的起法。不但好，而且留了寫不盡的多少地步與後人。就是這句為首，稻香老農快寫上續下去。」鳳姐兒和李嬸娘平兒又吃了兩杯酒，自去了。

這裡李紈就寫了：「一夜北風緊，」自己聯道：「開門雪尚飄。入泥憐潔白，」香菱道：「匝地惜瓊瑤。有意榮枯草，」探春道：「無心飾萎苗。價高村釀熟，」李綺道：「年稔府粱饒。葭動灰飛管，」李紋道：「陽回斗轉杓。寒山已失翠，」岫煙道：「凍浦不生潮。易掛疏枝柳，」湘雲道：「難堆破葉蕉。麝煤融寶鼎，」寶琴道：「綺袖籠金貂。光奪窗前鏡，」黛玉道：「香粘壁上椒。斜風仍故故，」寶玉道：「清夢轉聊聊。何處梅花笛？」寶釵道：「誰家碧玉簫？鼇愁坤軸陷，」李紈笑道：「我替你們看熱酒去罷。」寶釵命寶琴續聯，只見湘雲起來道：「龍鬥陣雲銷。��岸迴孤棹，」寶琴也聯道：「吟鞭指灞橋。賜裘憐撫戌，」湘雲那裡肯讓人？且別人也不如他敏捷，都看他揚眉挺身的說道：「加絮念征徭。坳垤審夷險，」寶釵連聲讚好，也便聯道：「枝柯怕動搖。皚皚輕趁步，」黛玉忙聯道：「剪剪舞隨腰。苦茗成新賞，」一面說，一面推寶玉命他聯。寶玉正看寶琴、寶釵、黛玉三人共戰湘雲，十分有趣，那裡還顧得聯詩？今見黛玉推他，方聯道：「孤松訂久要。泥鴻從印跡，」寶琴接著聯道：「林斧或聞樵。伏象千峰凸，」湘雲忙聯道：「盤蛇一徑遙。花緣經冷結，」寶釵和眾人又都讚好。探春聯道：「色豈畏霜凋？深院驚寒雀，」湘雲正渴了，忙忙的吃茶，已被岫煙搶著聯道：「空山泣老鴞。階墀隨上下，」湘雲忙丟了茶杯，聯道：「池水任浮漂。照耀臨清曉，」黛玉忙聯道：「繽紛入永宵。誠忘三尺冷，」湘雲忙笑聯道：「瑞釋九重焦。僵臥誰相問？」寶琴也忙笑聯道：「狂遊客喜招。天機斷縞帶，」湘雲又忙道：「海市失鮫綃。」黛玉不容他道出，接著便道：「寂寞封台榭，」湘雲忙聯道：「清貧懷簞瓢。」寶琴也不容情，也忙道：「烹茶水漸沸，」湘雲見這般自為得趣，又是笑，又忙聯道：「煮酒葉難燒。」黛玉也笑道：「沒帚山僧掃，」寶琴也笑道：「埋琴稚子挑。」

湘雲笑彎了腰，忙念了一句。眾人問道：「到底說的是什麼？」湘雲道：「石樓閒睡鶴，」黛玉笑得握著胸口，高聲嚷道：「錦罽暖親貓。」寶琴也忙笑道：「月窟翻銀浪，」湘雲忙聯道：「霞城隱赤標。」黛玉忙笑道：「沁梅香可嚼，」寶釵笑稱好句，也忙聯道：「淋竹醉堪調。」寶琴也忙道：「或濕鴛鴦帶，」湘雲忙聯道：「時凝翡翠翹。」黛玉又忙道：「無風仍脈脈，」寶琴又忙笑聯道：「不雨亦瀟瀟。」

湘雲伏著，已笑軟了。眾人看他三人對搶，也都不顧作詩，看著也只是笑。黛玉還推他往下聯，又道：「你也有才盡力窮之時？我聽聽，還有什麼舌頭嚼了？」湘雲只伏在寶釵懷裡，笑個不住。寶釵推他起來，道：「你有本事把『二蕭』的韻全用完了，我纔服你。」湘雲起身笑道：「我也不是作詩，竟是搶命呢！」眾人笑道：「倒是你自己說罷。」探春早已料定沒有自己聯的了，便早寫出來，因說：「還沒收住呢。」李紋聽了，接過來，便聯一句道：「欲誌今朝樂，」李綺收了一句道：「憑詩祝舜堯。」

李紈道：「夠了，夠了！雖沒作完了韻，騰挪的字，若生扭了，倒不好了。」說著，大家來細細評論一回，獨湘雲的多，都笑道：「這都是那塊鹿肉的功勞。」李紈笑道：「逐句評去，卻還一氣，只是寶玉又落了第了。」寶玉笑道：「我原不會聯句，只好擔待我罷。」李紈笑道：「也沒有社社擔待的。又說韻險了，又整誤了，又不會聯句，今日必罰你。我纔看見櫳翠庵的紅梅有趣，我要折一枝插在瓶裡，可厭妙玉為人，我不理他。如今罰你取一枝來，插著玩兒。」眾人都道：「這罰的又雅又有趣。」

寶玉也樂為，答應著就要走。湘雲黛玉一起說道：「外頭冷得很，你且吃杯熱酒再去。」於是湘雲早熱起壺酒來了。黛玉遞了個大杯，滿斟了一杯。湘雲笑道：「你吃了我們這酒，要取不來，加倍罰你！」寶玉忙吃了一杯，冒雪而去。

李紈命人好好跟著，黛玉忙攔說：「不必，有了人，反不得了。」李紈點頭道：「是。」一面命丫鬟將一個美女聳肩瓶拿來，貯了水，準備插梅，因又笑道：「回來該吟紅梅了。」湘雲忙道：「我先作一首。」寶釵笑道：「今日斷不容你再作了。你都搶了去，別人都閒著也沒趣。回來罰寶玉。他說不會聯句，如今就叫他自己做去。」黛玉笑道：「這話很是。我還有主意：方纔聯句不夠，莫若揀那聯得少的人作紅梅詩。」寶釵笑道：「這話是極。方纔邢李二位屈才，且又是客；琴兒和顰兒雲兒他們搶了許多，我們一概都別作，只他們三人做纔是。」李紈因說：「綺兒也不大會做，還是讓琴妹妹罷。」寶釵只得依允。又道：「就用『紅梅花』三個字做韻，每人一首七言律；邢大妹妹做『紅』字，你們李大妹妹做『梅』字，琴兒做『花』字。」李紈道：「饒過寶玉去，我不服。」湘雲忙道：「有個好題目命他做。」眾人問：「何題？」湘雲道：「命他就做『訪妙玉乞紅梅』，豈不有趣？」眾人聽了，都說：「有趣！」

一面說，一面大家看梅花。原來這一枝梅花只有二尺來高，旁有一枝，縱橫而出，約有二三尺長，其間小枝分歧，或如蟠螭，或如僵蚓，或孤削如筆，或密聚如林。真乃花吐胭脂，香欺蘭蕙。各各稱賞。誰知岫煙、李紋、寶琴三人都已吟成，各自寫了出來。眾人便依「紅」「梅」「花」三字之序看去，寫道：

桃未芳菲杏未紅，衝寒先喜笑東風。魂飛庾嶺春難辨，霞隔羅浮夢未通。

眾人看了，都笑著，稱讚了一回，又指末一首更好。寶玉見寶琴年紀最小，才又敏捷。黛玉湘雲二人斟了一小杯酒，都賀寶琴。寶釵笑道：「三首各有好處。你們兩個天天捉弄厭了我，如今又捉弄他來了。」李紈又問寶玉：「你可有了？」寶玉忙道：「我倒有了，纔一看見這三首，又唬忘了。等我再想。」

湘雲聽了，便拿了一支銅火箸擊著手爐，笑道：「我擊了，若鼓絕不成，又要罰的。」寶玉笑道：「我已有了。」黛玉提起筆來，笑道：「你念，我寫。」湘雲便擊了一下，笑道：「一鼓絕。」寶玉笑道：「有了，你寫罷。」眾人聽他念道：「酒未開罇句未裁，」黛玉寫了，搖頭笑道：「起的平平。」湘雲又道：「快著！」寶玉笑道：「尋春問臘到蓬萊。」黛玉湘雲都點頭笑道：「有些意思了。」寶玉又道：「不求大士瓶中露，為乞孀娥檻外梅。」黛玉寫了，搖頭說：「小巧而已。」湘雲將手又敲了一下。寶玉笑道：

黛玉寫畢，湘雲大家纔評論時，只見幾個丫鬟跑進來道：「老太太來了。」眾人忙迎出來。大家又笑道：「怎麼這等高興？」說著，遠遠見賈母圍了大斗篷，帶著灰鼠暖兜，坐著小竹轎，打著青綢油傘，鴛鴦琥珀等五六個丫鬟，每人都是打著傘，��轎而來。李紈等忙往上迎。賈母命人止住，說：「只站在那裡就是了。」來至跟前，賈母笑道：「我瞞著你太太和鳳丫頭來了。大雪地下，我坐著這個無妨，沒的叫他娘兒們跴雪嗎。」眾人忙上前來接斗篷，攙扶著，一面答應著。

賈母來至室中，先笑道：「好俊梅花！你們也會樂，我也不饒你們！」說著，李紈早命人拿了一個大狼皮褥子來，鋪在當中。賈母坐了，因笑道：「你們只管照舊玩笑吃喝。我因為天短了，不敢睡中覺，抹了一會牌，想起你們來了，我也來湊個趣兒。」李紈早又捧過手爐來。探春另拿了一副杯箸來，親自斟了暖酒，奉給賈母。賈母便飲了一口，問：「那個盤子是什麼東西？」眾人忙捧了過來，回說：「是糟鵪鶉。」賈母道：「這倒罷了，撕一點子腿兒來。」李紈忙答應了，要水洗手，親自來撕。賈母道：「你們仍舊坐下說笑，我聽著纔喜歡。」又命李紈：「你也只管坐下，就如同我沒來的一樣纔好；不然，我就走了。」眾人聽了，方纔依次坐下，只李紈挪到儘下邊。賈母因問：「你們作什麼玩呢？」眾人便說：「做詩呢。」賈母道：「有做詩的，不如做些燈謎兒，大家正月裡好玩。」眾人答應。

一語未了，忽見鳳姐披著紫羯羢褂，笑嘻嘻的來了，口內說道：「老祖宗今兒也不告訴人，私自就來了，叫我好找！」賈母見他來了，心中喜歡，道：「我怕你凍著，所以不許人告訴你去。你真是個小鬼靈精兒，到底找了我來。論禮，孝敬也不在這上頭。」鳳姐兒笑道：「我那裡是孝敬的心找了來呢？我因為到了老祖宗那裡，鴉沒鵲靜的，問小丫頭子們，他又不肯叫我找到園裡來。我正疑惑，忽然又來了兩個姑子，我心裡纔明白了：那姑子必是來送年疏，或要年例香例銀子，老祖宗年下的事也多，一定是躲債來了。我趕忙問了那姑子，果然不錯，我纔就把年例給了他們去了。這會子老祖宗的債主兒已去了，不用躲著了。已預備下稀嫩的野雞，請用晚飯去罷，再遲一回就老了。」他一行說，眾人一行笑。

說話之間，已出了園門。來至賈母房中，吃畢飯，大家又說笑了一回。忽見薛姨媽也來了，說：「好大雪！一日也沒過來望候老太太。今日老太太倒不高興？正該賞雪纔是。」賈母笑道：「何曾不高興了？我找了他們姐妹去玩了一會子。」薛姨媽笑道：「昨兒晚上，我原想著今日要和我們姨太太借一天園子，擺兩桌粗酒，請老太太賞雪的，又見老太太安歇的早。我聽見寶兒說，老太太心裡不大爽，因此，如今也不敢驚動。早知如此，我竟該請了纔是呢。」賈母笑道：「這纔是十月，是頭場雪；往後下雪的日子多著呢，再破費姨太太不遲。」薛姨媽笑道：「果然如此，算我的孝心虔了。」鳳姐兒笑道：「姨媽怎麼忘了？如今現秤五十兩銀子來，交給我收著，一下雪，我就預備下酒。姨媽也不用操心，也不得忘了。」賈母笑道：「既這麼說，姨太太給他五十兩銀子收著，我和他每人分二十五兩，到下雪的日子，我裝心裡不爽，混過去了。姨太太更不用操心，我和鳳姐倒得實惠呢！」鳳姐將手一拍，笑道：「妙極！這和我的主意一樣。」眾人都笑了。賈母笑道：「呸！沒臉的！就順著竿子爬上來了。你不說姨太太是客，在偺們家受屈，我��該請姨太太纔是；那裡有破費姨太太的理？不這麼說呢，還有臉先要五十兩銀子？真不害臊！」鳳姐笑道：「我們老祖宗最是有眼色的，試一試，姨媽要鬆呢，拿出五十兩來，就和我分；這會子估量著不中用了，翻過來拿我做法子，說出這些大方話來。如今我也不和姑媽要銀子了，我竟替姨媽出銀子，治了酒，請老太太吃了，我另外再封五十兩銀子孝敬老祖宗，算是罰我個包攬閒事，這可好不好？」話未說完，眾人都笑倒在炕上。

賈母因又說及寶琴雪下折梅，比畫兒上還好；又細問他的年庚八字並家內景況。薛姨媽度其意思，大約是要給他求配。薛姨媽心中因也遂意，只是已許過梅家了，因賈母尚未說明，自己也不好擬定，遂半吐半露，告訴賈母道：「可惜了這孩子沒福！前年他父親就沒了。他從小兒見的世面倒多，跟他父親四山五岳都走遍了。他父親好樂的，各處因有買賣，帶了家眷，這一省逛一年，明年又到那一省逛半年，所以天下十停走了有五六停了。那年在這裡把他許了梅翰林的兒子，偏第二年他父親就辭世了。如今他母親又是痰症。」

次日雪晴，飯後，賈母又吩咐惜春：「不管冷暖，你要畫去。趕到年下，十分不能，就罷了。第一要緊，把昨兒琴兒和丫頭、梅花，照樣一筆別錯，快快添上。」惜春聽了，雖是為難的事，就應了。一時，眾人都來看他如何畫。惜春只是出神。李紈因笑向眾人道：「讓他自己想去，偺們且說話兒。昨兒老太太只叫做燈謎兒，回到家，和綺兒紋兒睡不著，我就編了兩個四書的。他兩個每人也編了兩個。」

Kisekae Insights #32: My Little Pony Part 2 (Jee Gun and Storm Dasher – Equestria Girls)

(A story in 4 slides – original text removed and recreated for optimised picture format)

Back when my personal project got going, I was creating self-insert OCs for the shows I adapted into it. My Little Pony is no exception. Following on from Doctor Whooves and the Pony Doctor were Jee Gun and Storm Dasher; Storm Dasher underwent major evolutions as the years passed while Jee Gun went forgotten until Equestria Girls gave the perfect opportunity for him to be reintroduced before later making his way back into the main universe.

Chris-chan does get his five extra seasons of Friendship is Magic, but it’s heavily mired in tokusatsu. Regardless, settle in for the ride.

World of Equestria Girls – Minato-Sugaru Island

Before I talk about Jee Gun and Storm Dasher I want to talk about the setting for Equestria Girls in my personal project. Chris-chan believed that Canterlot High was located in either Foggy Bottom, Maryland (Sonichu 12-9) or Baltimore (Twitter, possibly due to BronyCon being held there yearly). I don’t agree with either; the Equestria Girls universe is located in a different place known as Minato-Sugaru Island (港携島, the 携 kanji as in “mobile phone” 携帯 is never pronounced as すがる according to the dictionaries but Google Translate and JMnedict seem to have it as a reading when used in names, like university professor Sugaru Hiramatsu).

I’m not good at drawing maps, so I’ll try to describe the island as best as I can. The island is split between the Minato and Sugaru sides by the Ziyu River (子瑜河). The main city of the southern Minato side is Shokatsu City (諸葛市), which is also the island’s capital city, while the main city of the northern Sugaru side is Canterlot City (written in Kanji as 歩馬城 but pronounced as キャンタロット). Think of it as like Macau but with smaller bridges. Kōmei Bay (孔明湾) is located to the south of the island.

The main districts of the island are as below, along with some of the notable locations in each district:

Canterlot City (歩馬城/キャンタロットシティ)

Takaseki-ku (高席区) – Sci-Twi’s house, Crystal Prep Academy

Kenen-ku (軒轅区) – Jee Gun/Sunset Shimmer’s apartment, Antique Shop Omokagedo, Suishiryō Athletics Field (named after the Chu Shi Biao)

Kanmyōji-ku (関廟寺区) – Sweet Apple Acres (Applejack’s house/entrance to the Rabbit Hutch), Guan Yu Temple, abandoned warehouse district

Kiriha-ku (桐葉区) – Canterlot Mall, Schwarzer Magic Café, Carousel Boutique

Kanakura-ku (金倉区) – Mt Kanakura, Canterlot City Science Museum, Planetarium and Observatory

Seia-ku (星亜区) – Canterlot High, Seia Hill, Fluttershy’s house, Dasher Arekawa/Rainbow Dash’s house

The main part of the city is split between Kiriha-ku, Takaseki-ku and Kanakura-ku

Shokatsu City (諸葛市)

Shukuchō-ku (叔長区) – Shokatsu City Town Centre, V city, Minato-Sugaru Central Hospital

Genson-ku (元遜区) – Zhongshen Bridge Coliseum, Minato-Sugaru Police Headquarters, Genson Airport

Bosong-ku (伯松区) – Minato-Sugaru City Hall, Shokatsu Park, Shokatsu Central High School

Jiyū-ku (自由区) – Kōmei Bay Symbol Tower, Waterfront, Beach

Dōmei-ku (道明区) – Nothing of note

Shokatsu City is somewhat based on Tuen Mun in Hong Kong

Other cities and towns

Gongxiu City (公休市) – Futiao Ferry Pier, Ocean Walk

Langya City (琅邪市) – 9TO5, Pegasus Gentlemen’s Club

Jungong City (君貢市) – Quarries, Mt Jungong

Wolonggang (臥龍崗町) – Wolonggang Academy

The multi-coloured natives living on Minato-Sugaru Island are the Sugamina or the Suganuma, depending on whether you are on the Minato or Sugaru sides of the island. Until recent years, Minato-Sugaru Island was an unofficially recognised Commonwealth external territory and transport in and out of the island required government approval. This was because there were fears that immigration in and out of the island would cause unwanted racial tensions. I mean, just look at all the skin colours of the Sugamina/Suganuma living on the island. Of course, the Crystal Mirror is another way in and out of the island, but a side effect is that you would turn from human to pony and vice versa.

The island is a left-wing paradise/centre-left utopia but without all the toxicity of politics in general or left-right resistance, hence there was still room for freedom (with masks) during the coronavirus pandemic. The culture of this island is quite sexually liberated (if Derpibooru is any indication) so the government has spent a substantial amount of money on things related to sexual health. There’s a mish-mash of Eastern and Western culture as well with Chinese and Japanese influence in the names of cities and districts; in fact, a lot of places in the Minato side of the island are named after the Zhuge family tree of Langya.

Initially, it was not stated whether Minato-Sugaru Island was in the same universe as Equestria, so for all anyone knew, it could have been a parallel universe. This would be confirmed in 2018 with the island’s appearance in Kamen Rider Decade. Soulbound Series 3 and 4 would contain stories featuring characters from Equestria Girls, then Kamen Rider Zi-O would be fully set on the island.

Progenitor of Dreams – Jee Gun

Jee Gun is the counterpart of Hiroki Ichigo in Equestria who came into existence as a result of the Fourth Doctor’s explosive regeneration that also created Doctor Whooves and the Pony Doctor. His English name is based on the Cantonese pronunciation of his Chinese name and it is reflected in the Japanese katakana pronunciation. Jee Gun was created as an Earth pony who remained a “blank flank” as he grew up, which was rather stigmatised in Equestria, and became socially awkward as a result.

After being created from the Fourth Doctor's regeneration into the Fifth Doctor, the colt who would become Jee Gun ended up near the village of Sakabakawa in southern Equestria when he was found by an old pony who took him in and raised him as his son. He didn't know many ponies outside of the village because he was shy. When the old pony died, he told Jee Gun to “get out there and meet a few ponies”. He took the money the old pony left him and went off to do just that, settling in Ponyville and making a living for himself while also doing some studying on the side.

Jee Gun’s first and only appearance in Doctor Who was in the Series 3 story Paradox Love Revelation, where he becomes heartbroken after seeing Spike giving a gift to his crush, Rarity, whom he had met at some point during his time in Ponyville (by some miracle). He was found acting strangely by the Doctor, Doctor Whooves and the Pony Doctor before he proceeded to regenerate into a new prototype.

Following his initial appearance in 2012, Jee Gun would appear again the next year in Jee Gun’s Human Nature, created to complement the release of the first Equestria Girls movie. Set twenty moons before his debut, Jee Gun would be sent to the human world to assist Twilight Sparkle in her mission to recover the Element of Magic, but a glitch with the Crystal Mirror causes his memories to be placed in a fob watch. He is then found by Storm Dasher’s counterpart in the human world and various shenanigans ensue. Jee Gun becomes like the Master after opening the fob watch before the ponification of the Humane Six calms him down. Yeah, I don’t understand how I wrote this either. It’s another ripoff of the BBC Series 3 finale.

Another year later, I finally decided to address the question of what happened to Jee Gun after his regeneration by creating Magical Tachibana and writing the pilot for it, but nothing more. As you know, The Tachibana Series is a series whose main protagonists are descended from the namesake family whose ancestors worked in the police force. Magical Tachibana is one of the spinoffs of the series and its protagonist is Yūki Tachibana, a detective from the Tokyo Metropolitan Police who is transferred to the island similar to Death in Paradise.

The Magical Tachibana pilot adapts Deep Breath and also lines up with the release of Rainbow Rocks. Following his regeneration, Jee Gun manifests (as a Sugamina) on one of Princess Celestia’s ships that had just abandoned Hiroki Ichigo during the Ōsaka Campaign (because Celestia believed that it was too late to stop him and his intensifying insanity). He managed to find an escape pod and set off, but it got swung into prehistoric Earth and was eaten by a female T-rex before it got swung to Minato-Sugaru Island in the present day. The Clockwork Droids of the original episode are replaced by the Dazzlings and at the end, Adagio is apparently seen impaled on a building in Bosong-ku, but it is revealed later in Soulbound Series 3 that she either was resurrected or she actually missed being impaled and survived as a result. With the entire case being investigated by the Minato-Sugaru Police’s Special Investigations Unit led by the newly-transfered Yūki Tachibana, Jee Gun is offered to join the SID along with Sunset Shimmer as his informant (they met in an alley where Jee Gun stole Sunset’s jacket off her). In hindsight, given what the world would learn about the police in the coming years, I probably should have done an adaptation of Kamen Rider Fourze instead.

Jee Gun and Equestria Girls would make a return in the Moushouden Series, cementing its position in relation to My Little Pony in my personal project. After SID tragically closed a case in which Jee Gun failed to convince a terrorist to renounce his ways before he killed fifty people along with himself in a suicide attack, Jee Gun decided to quit the police force, with Sunset following suit as well. A month of soul-searching later, Jee Gun adopted a new persona similar to that of Gentaro Kisaragi, wanting to befriend everyone on Minato-Sugaru Island at any cost. Though some people were resistant to his idealistic and eccentric attitude, many people come to respect or even love it as Jee Gun continued to befriend people.

One day, Jee Gun met a scientist named Starsong Dreamer and saved him from being attacked by the Zodiarts. As thanks, Jee Gun was given the Fourze Driver and was told to fight as Kamen Rider Fourze because the scientist was unable to use it in his current condition. Starsong Dreamer would continue to support Jee Gun as he formed the Kamen Rider Club, with its members mostly being people whose counterparts were Earth ponies in Equestria, such as Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Big McIntosh, Maud Pie, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.

For a long time I never thought about Jee Gun’s human form, even though it would be obvious as to what he would look like. I did a concept version in 2018 and a proper one in Kisekae for this instalment; given how Jee Gun would become Kamen Rider Fourze from Kamen Rider Decade onwards, his appearance and personality are based off of Gentaro Kisaragi, but with a childish/preteen/simpleton-ish twist to it. It’s a far cry from his demeanour in Magical Tachibana, but it’s the depiction of Jee Gun that I prefer.

Now, since Jee Gun moved from Friendship is Magic to Equestria Girls, you would think that the other side would have a counterpart that moved the opposite way. That wouldn’t be addressed until 2019 with Soulbound Series 3 and as such, we’ll cover his story when we get to that series. Because I didn’t want to create a cutie mark for the originally blank-flanked Jee Gun, I just used Fourze’s logo for his new FiM counterpart.

Champion of the Galaxy – Storm Dasher

Storm Dasher was the Pegasus prototype that resulted from Jee Gun’s regeneration and in his debut story, he played a significant role in repelling the Kikuchi Clan from Equestria. He took a liking to Rainbow Dash during that adventure and at the end, gained a cutie mark that was a recolour to that of hers, which led him to rename himself Storm Dasher. Over the coming weeks, as Dasher learned how to be a Pegasus, he took a temp job at the Golden Oak Library and got to know everyone more, including Rainbow Dash, who gradually warmed to him. The two Pegasi would eventually marry each other.

When Antoni stole the 27 planets to power the reality bomb, Equestria was one of those planets. Dasher and the Mane Six meet at the Canterlot Security Department, which would later be known as UNIT Equestria, where they hear the Daleks’ message for all the planets. Shining Armor planned to surrender Equestria to the Daleks but Dasher refused; later, the ponies join the Children of Time as they try to call the Doctor before the scientist ponies send Dasher to where the Doctor is.

Unbeknownst to everyone, Derpy, who had reawoken as the DoctorDerpy, had managed to get to the Doctor herself as well by sneaking into the Canterlot Security Department and teleporting herself away in a similar manner to Dasher. While Dasher managed to join the Doctor, the TARDIS was dropped into the centre core of the Crucible with him still inside. The TARDIS console opened and Dasher absorbed Fifi’s regeneration energy (in place of the Doctor’s) from the heart just as Derpy appeared and dematerialised the TARDIS, saving them both. The ensuing meta-crisis-ish thing made Dasher part-Time Lord, but unlike Donna, he didn’t need his mind wiped due to either being an offshoot of the Doctor himself or Equestrian magic allowed him to hold a Time Lord consciousness (or let it fade away naturally without overloading his brain).

Despite being a Pegasus and not a unicorn, Dasher had an interest in magic and thanks to his part-Time Lord status, he was able to augment his own passive magic with unicorn magic, strengthening his weather control powers and allowing him to utilise telekinesis like unicorns.

As I stated in the previous instalment, Dasher represented the Element of Time in the Elements of Harmony in a slight retcon to the story. This would be revealed in hindsight to be a bit of foreshadowing when he was reintroduced in the Moushouden Series following the hiatus of my personal project.

Some time after the events of the Season 5 opener, The Cutie Map, Dasher is summoned by the namesake map to the village of Sakabakawa, where a shrine was destroyed by a meteorite. It was there that he found the Ginga Spark and became its user, being also granted with the ability to take on a human form. Obviously this was the sign that Dasher had become the host of Ultraman Ginga, and his first fight was against Thunder Darambia, which was actually Starlight Glimmer. While dealing with the Alien Valky and his minions on Equestria, he used his Pegasus magic to create disguises for himself in order to conceal his identity as Ginga.

After defeating the Alien Valky, Dasher is informed by Ginga of Dark Lugiel’s presence on Earth and left Equestria without saying goodbye to anyone. He met the UPG on Earth and joined them after saving two of their members, with one of them being Molly Williams. His status as an Equestrian Ultra host allowed him to assume a human form (without going through the Crystal Mirror) and as a result, Dasher decided to name his human identity Hikaru Tomokaze (友風ひかる).

Although Dark Lugiel was defeated, he didn’t truly die and as such, his influence lingered across the universe. As such, Dasher continued to travel the universe, freeing beings who were manipulated by Lugiel or his minions. In the time that followed, Dasher’s magic began rapidly evolving as Ginga’s power within him was getting stronger. Ultraman Taro invited Dasher to visit the Land of Light, but upon arrival, the Plasma Spark’s energy caused his magic to go out of control, so in order to stabilise him, the Six Ultra Brothers gave some of their power to him in the form of the Strium Brace, which allowed him to access Ginga Strium form while evolving him into an alicorn at the same time. This made Dasher the first pony to become an alicorn by non-Equestrian means.

Eventually, Storm Dasher would return to Equestria, and the rest will be for Gokaiger and Soulbound Series 3.

As for Storm Dasher’s Equestria Girls counterpart, he started off as said counterpart of Jee Gun before he was disowned by his parents and regenerated in circumstances similar to Hiroki’s first prototype regeneration, the one that created Richard Yang. However, this was in the midst of an attack from Galberos, with said attack orphaning both the newly-regenerated Jee Gun and Rainbow Dash. Jee Gun, who would change his name to Storm “Dasher” Arekawa, travelled with Rainbow Dash to Jiyū-ku, a place little kids went when they had nowhere else to go. They became good friends and had an on-again off-again relationship for some years before their relationship became full-time.

In contrast to his FiM counterpart (and Jee Gun as well), Dasher Arekawa is like the Glenn Quagmire of Minato-Sugaru Island due to him being a sexually-open womaniser (he may be perverted but I wouldn’t say he’s as perverted as actual Quagmire).

Other Rider tidbits

Jee Gun wouldn’t be the only Kamen Rider on Minato-Sugaru Island, as Sunset Shimmer and others would become Kamen Riders as well.

Soon after quitting the police force, Sunset would find the WizarDriver and Wizard Rings that had fallen from a dimensional rift. Due to her status as a unicorn back in Equestria, Sunset discovered that she was able to use the equipment as upon equipping the belt for the first time, the Phantom WizarDragon entered her body after having jettisoned its previous host upon their death. She would open the Antique Shop Omokagedo in Kenen-ku, which she also used as a lab to (re)create Wizard Rings. They would become an alternative source of magic compared to the Rainbooms’ geodes, which can be dangerous if overused.

Let’s be honest here, Sunset Shimmer is the perfect fit for Kamen Rider Wizard and it’s not just because her look matches that of Haruto Soma’s. I think that as part of her redemption arc, Sunset could embrace hope in addition to friendship so as to overcome her past and show others that things can be better as long as they hold onto hope. Also, it’s a bit disappointing that the below image is the only image I could find of Sunset Shimmer as Kamen Rider Wizard on Derpibooru. Just a little suggestion for you fanartists out there.

So anyway, over the years, Equestrian magic has made an influence on Minato-Sugaru Island and Sunset becoming Wizard has caused it to expand and mutate. People on the island began absorbing magic by-products in the form of radiation, which is harmless in small amounts but when they build up to a certain point, they can become Gates and as a result, the by-products can give birth to Phantoms when they fall into despair. Naturally, if you know the premise of Kamen Rider Wizard, the Phantoms need to be defeated so that the number of victims can be minimised. However, the more the Wizard Rings are used, the more by-products are created which in turn give birth to more Phantoms. This is a never-ending cycle that nothing can be done about, but at any rate, it can be argued that this is better than letting the power of the geodes run uncontrolled. You could even say that the WizarDriver runs on the magic of the geodes and the by-products are a side effect of having their power filtered through it.

Sunset’s friends would also become Kamen Riders as well; with the exception of Flash Sentry who would discover the Beast Driver and have Beast Chimera enter his body, Sunset’s friends would use copies of the WizarDriver known as the White WizarDriver, the Mage’s Belt, Sorcerer’s Belt or more collectively, the Wise Driver (according to Kamen Rider Zukan). They would also come from the same dimensional rift that brought the WizarDriver and Wizard Rings to this universe.

Kamen Rider Mages:

Violet – Sci-Twi

Blue – Rainbow Dash

Orange/Amber – Applejack

Pink – Pinkie Pie

Yellow – Fluttershy

White/Crystal – Rarity

Green – Princess Twilight Sparkle

For the Mane Six who would become Kamen Rider Mages, the colours of their gems are different based on their skin colours. While the blue and orange/amber Mages are reused from the original series, green wouldn’t appear until Soulbound Series 4 and new suits had to be made for the other colours.

Other Riders:

Kamen Rider Beast – Flash Sentry

Kamen Rider Sorcerer – Trixie Lulamoon

Kamen Rider Wiseman – Storm “Dasher” Arekawa

Fourze does have a couple of contemporaries as well. Yūki Tachibana uses the Meteor Driver to transform into Kamen Rider Meteor, with the functionality of the M-BUS later being incorporated into the Meteor Driver to allow for more mobility and also as a backup if the M-BUS were to go offline despite being automated. In Soulbound Series 4, Starlight Glimmer would use her magic to duplicate the Fourze Driver, creating a weaker imitation of it known as the Nadeshiko Driver to become Kamen Rider Nadeshiko. Later in the series, Jee Gun would also use the Fusion Switch to assume his Fusion States, merging his power with Meteor and Nadeshiko’s.

Kamen Rider Zi-O would be set on Minato-Sugaru Island as stated earlier, with Sougo Tokiwa’s residence being the (clock) repair shop 9TO5 (aka Kujigoji-do) in Langya City with its owner, Mark Roberts (the counterpart for Junichiro Tokiwa). Aside from it being a tribute to 20 years of Heisei Kamen Rider and 50 years of the Kamen Rider franchise, the series would also be a tribute to the Kamen Riders of my personal project and Equestria Girls, with various characters from the series and fan-created original characters being featured throughout. Oop, the cat’s out of the bag now. That’s right, I featured other people’s OCs in my personal project and nobody else has known until now. I’ll give proper credits when we get to the series.

So this was a pretty big instalment. I’ve been working on it since at least October 2022 as I originally planned for this to be released as part of the third run, but then I decided to hold off on it as I needed to work on other projects and make the designs for Equestria Girls Jee Gun and Dasher in Kisekae. This should be enough background to get us started on the main bulk of the Moushouden Series, but even if it isn’t, I can fill in the gaps when we get to them. For some reason, every time I come back to finish something after a prolonged break, I don’t always feel the same excitement upon completing it than I envisioned at the start. I feel like I’m rushing to complete something just so I can get it out of my mind and as a result, there’s a chance that I might forget things even though I have at least 90% of what I wanted to do in the first place.

The third run last year honestly felt a bit rushed and underwhelming because I was too focused on writing Kamen Rider Zi-O to even have content prepared for Kisekae Insights. I did four instalments for the third run because I didn’t want to skip a year, plus there was also the 15th anniversary of the Sea Princesses animated series and I didn’t really like what I originally had at the time, so I decided to give you all a sneak peek into Kamen Rider Zi-O by writing about the Ryuki/Sea Princesses tribute arc. Anyway, now that the fourth run of Kisekae Insights is underway, join me as I continue to cover more of my personal project and hopefully do more compared to the third run.
