#Awashima is certain her sense of direction won't fail her this time

[ridiasfangirlings]

From case files we saw that awashima has a real bad sense of direction. Could you do a funny scenario with it?

Maybe at some point post-ROK due to a Strain power Awashima, Fushimiand the alphabet squad get trapped inside like this giant hedge mazeand they need to navigate it in order to get back to where Munakatais dealing with a coordinated attack from the Strain’s allies, likeit’s all part of a plan to separate Munakata from his clansmen andkill him. Fushimi’s been injured prior to the Strain power activatingand say he’s like slightly concussed, he has a general idea of wherehe is and everything but he’s in no shape to lead. Awashima’s ofcourse worried about Munakata and so she decides to lead the squadout of the maze on her own, the alphabet boys know she’s not verygood with directions but with Fushimi out of commission no one reallyhas sufficient authority to stop her either (the only one who mightbe able to is Akiyama and I like to headcanon that his sense ofdirection isn’t the best either which is why we always see himdriving, he’s an excellent driver but a shit navigator, that’sBenzai’s job. And knowing he’s no good at directions himself he feelsthat he can’t override Awashima since he wouldn’t do a much betterjob).

Awashima begins to lead the squad out and somehow she just keepsleading them into worse and worse situations, like at one point shedecides that they definitely need to make a left here and they end upstumbling into one of the many traps that the Strain left for them, asmall clearing full of giant carnivorous flowers. Fushimi getsgrabbed by one because their writhing tentacles can’t resist him andthe rest of the squad has to rescue him before there’s another‘artfully torn clothes’ situation. Once they manage to free Fushimiand make a run for it Benzai tries to suggest that they leave a trailbehind them so they know where they’ve been, like Doumyouji has abunch of candy in his pocket and they decide to start dropping itevery couple feet to mark their trail. At one point they run acrossthe same peppermint three times because Awashima somehow managed tomake two completely opposite turns that nonetheless ended them backin the same spot. She’s getting a little flustered by this point butdetermined to keep everyone in control, ordering them to move forwardeven as the rest of the squad wonders how they can best break it toher that she’s telling them to go back the way they came towards thegiant carnivorous flowers. There’s a quick game of rock paperscissors to decide who tells her, unfortunately Akiyama wins and hecan’t bring himself to correct a superior officer and so they end upfighting the flowers again.

Finally maybe they end up confronting the Strain himself, who showsup to gloat. Awashima’s really frustrated by this point and extremelyworried about Munakata so she attacks the Strain herself, nearlytaking him down. He can control the maze though and keeps using it toavoid her, finally he’s defeated when Awashima distracts him longenough that the still barely conscious Fushimi can launch a sneakattack. The Strain drops a map that shows the way out of the maze,everyone is super relieved until Awashima takes control of the mapand starts to confidently lead everyone forward. They end up back atthe carnivorous flowers two more times before Hidaka notices thatAwashima’s holding the map upside down and they have to play rockpaper scissors again to decide who gets to be the one who tells her.Hidaka wins this time and he does tell her, she looks so upset thathe feels bad and quickly tries to console her. She finally recoversherself and shoves the map at him, stating that he is now in chargeof leading them out (luckily Hidaka’s better with directions and theyescape the maze just in time to see Munakata calmly finishing off thelast of his attackers, not a single hair out of place).
