#JACKAL BIRTHDAY ; WAN WAN WAN

[foxufortunes]

From: unknown number you’ve been invited to a monsters ball lucky you rabbit

Finally, the fic is out, A Monsters' Ball the pro-exy team MSBY Black Jackals (ft Andreil and some rabbits). Details like team line up and positions, alt jerseys, layers and some backstories beneath the cut.

So, our team line up and some details (and yes, I do have a colour coded spreadsheet to keep track of all this, which Neil and Sakusa constantly mess up by being the wrong year for their age bc they're babies, but ages are rough because no everyone has a declared birthday/age) with some art breaks between:

#4 Captain Meian Shuugo - 29, backliner, 5yrs MSBY, 5yrs college, from one of the country's best high school teams, 1 season as captain, trying really hard to be mature and not find everyone's antics funny, eternal rival to Hirugami Fukurou, captain of the champions, the Alders.

#20 V.Captain Hirugami Shouko - 26, backliner, 2yrs MSBY, 5yrs college, from another top high school, middle child of 2 pro-exy players (two of the earliest adopters before it got big, probably ppl who went to uni with Tetsuji and Kayleigh), younger sister of Alders captain Fukurou, joined the Jackals out of desire to say fuck you to her older brother.

#2 Amani Kanoka - 23, striker, rookie MSBY, 5yrs college, from a private all girls high school that became the best in the country, known as the Queens of Exy, very shy, has a lot of confidence issues, that she handles by being the best on court.

#5 Nathaniel Wesninski - 24, striker, MSBY rookie, 1yr Baltimore Wildcats, 4.5 yrs EAU Ravens, 0.5yrs PSU Foxes, joined the Foxes after only a year playing in a nowhere team but was quickly poached by the Ravens at Christmas that year and was a regular member the team the next year under his real name, very flighty, big fan of secrets, no idea how to handle the Jackals' chaos (they're like the Foxes but without the trauma).

#12 Bokuto Koutarou - 24, striker, 1yr MSBY, 5yrs college, one of the top 5 strikers in Japan in high school, another top high school team, ultimate himbo, might have committed tax fraud, has a word of the day calendar he's trying really hard to use properly, known for super sharp angle shots and for just bodying people and the ball.

#15 Sakusa Kiyoomi - 22, striker, rookie MSBY, 5yrs college, championship highschool team several yrs running, one of the top 3 strikers in Japan in high school, collegiate MVP, Team Japan 2016 squad, Team Japan U19 rep, grumpy baby, very into properly folded handkerchiefs, do not touch, preferably do not interact outside of court, speak to him via his adorable cousin or not at all unless saving him from bugs.

Halfway through the team stats, time for some art. The Away Colours! Maybe the racquets change to white too, idk I couldn't be bothered to recolour them though.

Ok, back to the second half of the team:

#3 Andrew Minyard - 25, goalkeeper, 2yrs MSBY, 3yrs USC Trojans, 2yrs PSU Foxes, best goalkeeper and rookie awards during his rookie season, didn't really tell anyone his plans after university just kind of vanished, only told a handful of people he'd signed for a team, Neil thought he was dead, he has a motorcycle now because city traffic is awful on his sports cars and the stadium is walking distance, sometimes plays defensive dealer.

#6 Inunaki Shion - 26, goalkeeper, 4yrs MSBY, 3yrs college (dropped out to go pro), middling high school only competed nationally once, the vodka aunt of the team, here to get people drunk, instigate drama with the monsters and then sit back and laugh, actually very soft on the youngsters, tolerates stupid nicknames like Inu-san and Wan-san (never get tired of that being translated Mr Dog and Mr Woof).

#9 Adriah Tomas - 27, backliner, 1yr MSBY, a transfer from European leagues, surprisingly fast for his size, just happy to be here, comes across as a bit of an airhead, but is usually right next to Inunaki instigating chaos and then pretending he doesn't understand the language enough to know what happened.

#10 Oliver Barnes - 30, backliner, 2yr MSBY, Team USA 2016/2012 Olympic squads, transfer from America, big friendly softie, dad of the team, actual dad of a 5yo girl, starting to consider retirement into coaching so is happy to spend the end of his elite career with these idiots.

#13 Miya Atsumu - 23, offensive dealer, 5yrs MSBY, Team Japan 2016 Olypmic squad, Team Japan U19 rep, from a top high school, considered the best dealer in Japan in high school, signed straight from high school, a particularly offensive dealer, easily doubles as striker, all rounder (all Jackals are all rounders but the dealers in particular), demanding and thoughtless jerk but not trying to be nasty, can come across as arrogant but is the first to accept his own mistakes.

#21 Hinata Shouyou - 22, defensive dealer, MSBY rookie, 2yrs playing street exy in Brazil, middling high school team on the rise, player backliner in high school despite wanting to be a striker, but learned to play all positions in Brazil, sometimes move position based on what team they're facing, general ray of sunshine, obsessed with exy, does meditation and yoga in the sunrise preferably on a beach.

Ok, team done, have some more art because yes, I did layer these team pics up slowly from the base dri-fit layers to the armour/padding to the jerseys.

The Jackals provide uniform everything from base layers to padding to anything like compression sleeves, knee/arm pads and everything else. Armour is provided by them to ensure it's up to regulation and team standards, the Jackals require some kind of shoulder padding (most of the team has detachable shoulder pads, while Bokuto and Sakusa who prefer more shoulder rotation and just more coverage respectively, where seperate bicep/shoulder pads). I've talked more about armour on older wip posts, but they're based on lacrosse chest pads. Brief version: strikers were shorter, around the vitals, backliners generally are longer on the sides to protect the ribs, goalies have more coverage because duh, and dealers wear whatever they like. Every single one has either hollow rigid or extra padded piece over the centre of the chest because, especially in younger players, a ball to the chest can stop your heart.

And there we go!

MSBY Captain Atsumu is probably the most popular iteration. But can we consider for like 5 minutes...

Captain "Only Sane Man" Inunaki

As Meian considers retirement, he looks to Wan-san, his sole companion as a hapless spectator to the circus that was the MSBY4 (3 now that Hinata moved back to Brazil).

He thinks of all the pranks and chaos, occasionally egged on by Tomas who, despite his straight-laced boy-next-door appearance, turned out to be a total gremlin.

And don't even get him started on Barnes, a grown man and father of 2 who thinks his job is to be "Cool Dad". He can't stop filming his kids (from birthdays to competitions) at home.

It spills over to work where he just films whatever shenanigans the team gets up to and laughs.

Considering his choices, there's no one else. Only Inunaki Shion.

Inunaki who helps him clean up and apologise to the Izakaya manager every other week. Inunaki, who stopped Sakusa from murdering Atsumu after their star setter forgets to flush for the 35738495342nd time.

Let's also not forget the time he stopped Bokuto from trying to unclog the sink with mentos and coke.

Or the time when the team got drunk and tried to crash a super sentai show on the rooftop plaza of a nearby mall.

Well, it wasn't all bad, Meian supposes. His life was far from boring with the Jackals.

He looks on the whole team gathered to see him off from their final practice together. There isn't a dry eye in the gym, but the floodgates are open for Inunaki Shion.

Tears are pouring down the libero's cheeks and as Meian tries to leave, he gets tackled from behind.

"PLEASE DON'T GO!", Shion cries, holding on to his leg for dear life. "DON'T LEAVE ME WITH THEM!"

"Oh Shion..." Meian sighs, trying to pry himself loose.

Meian schools his expression into what he thinks is his 'benevolent leader' face.

At the back of the room, Foster can barely hide his grin. Fortunately all eyes are on the weeping Inunaki.

/Don't laugh. Don't laugh. Don't laugh./

He pulls Shion to his feet, gives him a manly hug and thump on the back and says, "You're the Captain now."

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!"

[jackalofchaos-blog]

Kakeru is the physical embodiment of a tsundere, so Ellen gets a gentle ruffling of her hair. "Happy birthday, kiddo." Wait, he's handing her a sack. Smells like carcass, it's probably another rabbit, but the sack is also tied with a rope that has a rabbit's foot on one of the ends. "And, you know, many more."

      While rabbit’s feet might stand as a lucky charm for most, I hope you know she’s going to be using that foot as though it’s a chew toy. She can smell the carcass, though, and whether it’s another rabbit or part of a deer, or any other form of meat, it smells delicious. Most children want a big birthday cake to eat – but Ellen? Give her a bag of freshly killed anything, and she’s good to go.

      A mix between a high pitched chirp and a purr rumbles in her throat at the hair ruffle she receives, and she presses the top of her head further into and against his palm.

      Accepting and opening the bag, she gives a quiet gasp of awe, mouth already watering as she imagines the tastes it will have. For just the moment, though, Kakeru is getting a gleeful hug from the little jackal.

“Thank you, Favoring-san! I love it!!”

Phan Cam: The Phantom Sharks of Hearts

>Fission City, California. We came here hoping to find a friend of our who went missing some time ago. Let’s hope we find him.

>At the airport, we were just getting our bags when we notice something... A woman with a sign that says “The SS present Ren and Party”.

Oh they do, do they?

I try to tell them. But they watched Saving Mr. Banks last night and couldn’t resist.

You must be Lena Mack. We were told about you from Shinya’s emails.

Lena: I am. I’m here to take you to them.

Alright. Is he okay?

Lena: If you can call what’s happened to him okay.

>Later on, we arrive at an underground lair. We were a bit surprised by the appearance of four muscular shark men.

So, these are the Street Sharks of Fission City. The Bolton Brothers.

So you know about us? About who we are.

Oracle: Well, mostly from what Max Modell told me. He told us at Horizon about Dr. Robert Bolton and his four sons, John, Bobby, Clint, and Cooper.

Actually, I like being called Coop. Or Big Slammu.

Ripster: And I’m known as Ripster.

Streex.

And I’m Jab.

I may not be a shark, but I’m a friend. They call me Bends.

It’s nice to meet you all.

>We introduce ourselves.

Ripster: Aren’t there suppose to be ten of you? The Detective Prince?

Akechi stayed behind. He wasn’t up for it.

...

Joker: What’s wrong?

Hmm? It’s nothing. Anyway, about Shinya.

??????: I kinda go by Kahuna now.

>Suddenly, someone came out of the shadows. Although he now is a shark man, I knew who this is.

I can understand why. Shark or not, it’s still you.

Kahuna: (at his mother’s request, we will not be showing him as a shark/human being, use your imagination) I’m glad to hear it.

Joker: Well what did you expect?

We have a strong bond, don’t we?

>I hand him back his GET SMOKED cap.

Kahuna: (smiling and putting his cap on) We do. How do I look?

Jab: Jawsome.

Jawsome?

Kahuna: It’s a long story.

Speaking of stories, what happened to you?

>Kahuna explains his story of what happened to him. About how he was abducted by a mad scientist and a group of has-been TV stars. How the scientist gene-slammed him into a shark.

Oracle: Anton Sevarius. I’ve heard about him online. Nothing good.

Bends: Same here. And we can’t cure your friend without suspecting that he might have tampered with the serum so that it might kill him or worse.

Queen: So you want us to go into his Palace and change his heart so he can turn him back.

Kahuna: I don’t think that will work. The man is as heartless as... Well, a Heartless.

That’s true. If we try to take the Treasure of someone who is heartless, their Shadow will die with their Palace. And you know what happens if someone’s Shadow dies.

Lena: Why... Actually, I don’t want to know.

Joker: Anyways, you said we can’t change Sevarius’s heart. Does this have something to do with this wolf hunt you mentioned?

Kahuna: Yes. I think Wolf of the Pack really didn’t enjoy doing something like this to kids... (offended) Which seems a bit rude since I’m already in middle school. Anyway, I think he might be the key in all of this.

Diego: But in case that doesn’t work, we could try and have Lady Ann use her magic to cure you.

Panther: I’m not sure if that might work. Headmistress Faragonda said that there are some things even magic can’t fix. I think mutation is one of them.

Ripster: We actually prefer to call it “gene-slamming”, but yeah, I had a feeling.

Queen: So we just have to take Wolf’s heart. I guess if we do that, that might somehow effect the other members of the Pack and we might find a way to change Kahuna back to himself. I think that might work.

Skull: How’d we do that? The only thing we know is that he was on TV. Nothin’ on his past at all.

Queen: That’s true. I doubt his two fellow Pack members, Jackal and Hyena, will say anything to us about him. Even their former leader, Fox, the wife of David Xanatos, might know but won’t tell us so easily. The only person left who might know and tell us is Dingo, but he’s a member of this group called the Redemption Squad and they’re pretty hard to contact.

Bends: But how do we find out who he is?

Joker: Oracle, do you think you can try finding out something?

Oracle: I doubt it. PackMedia Studios is the property of Xanatos Enterprises. The last time I tried to hack into their mainframe, I failed. Guess they had a feeling that one of these days, Medjed would try and hack into them and were well prepared.

Panther: Then what are we suppose to do, wait for an answer to come walking in?

?????: Why not? You never know.

>We quickly turn to see the new person that came in.

Jab: How did you get in here!?

You left your door open. And I know what you’re up to.

You do?

Woman in coat: Yes... I’m not going to say what it is, but I will have you this.

>She hands Oracle a flash drive.

Oracle: Thanks, er...

Woman in coat: Just call me Salli. We’ll be in touch soon.

>With that, Salli leaves.

Oracle: She’s a strange one.

Lena: We should at least see what she gave us.

>Oracle sticks the flash drive in her computer.

This is...

Bio:

Rolf Hakonson was born on January 5, 1957 in Gävle, Sweden. The youngest to his older sister. Hakonson, like his father and uncles, was trained to be a mercenary since he was 13 years old. His first known job wan in unknown part of Denmark. At age 15, Hakonson and his family (save his uncles) moved to Los Angeles, California, United States of America after a botched job in the Czech Republic involving the deaths of 14 people, including the mother of a young Tomas Brod. Hakonson spent some time around Los Angeles, but his most favorite places were outside of the city, including Fission City. Including an old abandoned water treatment plant. At the age of 18, rival mercenaries invaded Hakonson’s home and took the lives of both his parents. Afterwords, his sister was sent back to Sweden to take care of their uncle after their other uncle was shot by an unknown party. Neither the sister or the uncle were seen again. Since then, Hakonson had been leaving on his own. At age 23, Hakonson had been working as a stunt man on certain television shows and movies while still working as a mercenary. At age 26, Hakonson began working for the newly created PackMedia Studios as a stunt man. However, a year later, the young head and star of PackMedia, already going by the name, Fox, became interested in his skills and recruited him to become a star in the studio’s newest series, The Den of Champions. This is how he gained the stage name, Wolf. Almost ten years later, Three more people came to work for PackMedia which formed a new show, The Pack.*

*Most of the information here were looked up online and made up. Including Wolf’s real name being just a joke by the creator of Gargoyles, Greg Weisman.

Diego: (surprised) That’s... Oddly convenient.

Fox: I’m not sure. Can we really trust the information.

Joker: Only one way to find out.

>I take out my phone and open the Metaverse Navigator.

Joker: Rolf Hakonson. Water treatment plant.

Nav: Candidate found.

It’s a hit!

Streex: A hit? What does that mean? And what does that have to do with your smartphone?

Kahuna: It’s a long story.

Queen: We still need to confirm if this is really true. Are there any water treatment plants here in the city.

Streex: There are a lot here. But I think I know which one it might be. It’s not far from here. It’s been abandoned since our dad was a kid.

Joker: Right. Then I guess we’re off.

>With that, we leave. As we were leaving, Salli was watching us come outside... A shadow appears behind her.

Salli: Looks like they’re off.

???????: I am still not so sure about this. I still think we should join in.

Salli: Not just yet. We have our instructions.

>The figure then comes forward.

Very well. I trust you.

>Later at the water treatment plant.

Ripster: This is it.

Queen: How did you know about this?

Jap: Dr. Piranoid used it as a base for a while. But we managed to beat him out of it.

Streex: If Wolf is here, we’ll find him.

Fox: It might also be the location of his Palace. Now’s out chance.

Kahuna: I better be off. I’ve never been to “the place you go to steal people’s hearts”. I think it’s best to keep it that way.

Joker: Very well. You guys stay here and keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary.

Ripster: Right. Good luck, Phantom Thieves.

>With that, the Street Sharks walk away someplace.

Is everyone ready?

Phantom Thieves: Ready!

Joker: Den.

Nav: Candidate found. Beginning navigation.

>The familiar red wave passes over us. When it was over, the water treatment plant was replaced with a mountain with the same shape as the plant. At the foot of it, a large cave was open.

This looks like the place.

I think even before he became Wolf, he already saw this place as a den.

Well, mercenaries are known to sometimes be referred to as wolves.

I’m surprised you knew about that.

Oracle, can you at least give us an analysis of the place?

I’ll see what I can do. Persona!

>Necronomicon scans the area.

Oracle: It looks there are a couple of enemies at the entrance. Don’t worry, they’re not that strong.

We better be ready. It looks like they’ve spotted us.

>The two Shadows approach us. They both looked like vikings with wolf masks.

Shadow 1: What you want here, hunters!?

To take the Treasure, of course. A place like this has to have a big one.

Shadow 2: As if. Alpha Wolf would never allow that. Get lost.

Sorry, but there’s a friend of ours that needs our help and the answers to that are in that cave.

Shadow 1: In your dreams. You’ll have to get past!

>With that, the two Shadows change.

>Necronomicon scans the Shadows.

Oracle: They’re weak to Electricity. You also might get some results with Curse and Fire. Skull, think you can do it?

Skull: I’m up for it.

Joker: I’ll deal with Curses.

Panther: Leave Fire to me.

Queen: If they get Shocked or Burned, I could add technical damage.

Skull, Joker, Panther, and Queen: Persona!

>Mithra 1 uses Kouga on me. Luckily, I dodge it. Mirtha 2 uses Kouga on Panther. Captain Kidd uses Mazionga. Only one of them got hit. He then uses Zionga on the Mithra still standing. He was knocked down. We decide not to do an All-Out-Attack this time. Skull pases the baton to me and Arsene uses Maeiga. He does it again. Carmen uses Maragion. Johanna uses Vajra Blast. Mirthra 1 uses Kouga on me again. This time, it knocks me down. It attacks Skull next. Mirtha 2 also gets back up and uses Mahama. Luckily, it fails. Captain Kidd uses Matarukaja. I get back up and Arsene uses Dormin Rush. Both Mithras fall Asleep. Carmen uses Maragion. It was a technical hit and the awoken Mithras get Burned. Johanna uses Mafreila. It was also a technical hit. Mirtha 1 uses Mahama. It missed Skull and Queen and me and Panther were saved each by a Homunculus. The Burn eats at Mirtha 1′s health. Mirtha 2 uses Makouga. Luckily, I dodged it. The Burn eats at Mirtha 2′s health. Captain Kidd uses Mazionga. Both Mirthas are knocked down.

Skull: All right! Time for some pain!

>After the attack, the two Mirthas were still up, but now weaker.

Skull: Guess that means we’re doin’ the thing!

Queen: Indeed we are.

Skull: Then let’s do it!

WARNING: Spoiler ahead.

>With that, the two Mithras were gone.

Oracle: That was quick. I think it’s safe to assume that we should be able to use our Personas and get through this.

Queen: Right.

>Suddenly, the ground begins to shake. The entrance of the den closes up.

What the eff!?

Oracle: I’m sensing a change in cognition.

Royal: (shocked) Is something happening with Wolf in the real world?

Joker: Let’s head back and see.

>With that, we leave the Palace for now.

>Back in the real world, the Street Sharks were face to face... with Wolf.

So, this is the famous Street Sharks of Fission City. I knew it was a matter of time before you found my “den”.

Ripster: And you must be the furry ass washout.

Wolf: Stick and stone. Just hand over the kid.

Kahuna: As if I’d go with you. I thought you didn’t like the idea of mutating kids.

Wolf: ... Too many losses to the same enemy can make you do a lot of things you don’t normally do. The sooner you realize this, the better.

Big Slammu: I think you should go. You don’t want to know what happens when a wolf gets thrown into a shark tank.

Wolf: Heh! You really think you can speak to me that way?

>With a loud howl, Wolf transforms.

So, do you care to rephrase what you just said?

Jab: Bring. It. On.

>Then, a huge fight breaks out... In the end, the Street Sharks won.

Wolf: I’m... Not though yet!

>Wolf prepares to make one last strike...

BANG!

>The loud sound startles them. Several more shots are heard.

Wolf: We’re not done. We’ll see each other again soon.

>With that, Wolf runs into the plant and disappears in the darkness.

Bends: What was...

?????: You’re welcome.

>Me and the other P Thieves come out of the shadows. I had my gun out.

Joker: Even in the real world, a model gun can still be handy.

Ripster: I don’t normally approve the use of guns, but I’ll allow just this once.

Streex: So what have you learned?

Queen: It looks like it’s possible to steal Wolf’s heart. If he knows anything about how to save Kahuna, we might get it from him.

Kahuna: I hope you’re right. If what you said was true, Yuta doesn’t have much time. When is the operation?

Oracle: It’s the same day as the big match between Joe Akamine and Joe Yuuki.

Kahuna: (looking down) Now Yuta must really be nervous.

Ripster: What do you mean?

Kahuna: I’ll tell you on the way back. Right now, I’m hungry.

Oracle: Good, I’m up for pizza.

Street Sharks: Pizza!? Yuck!

I know some turtles who would beat you up for saying that.

Queen: Fine. We’ll have burgers.

...

Lena: What’s wrong, Haru?

Noir: The only burger shop nearest us on the way is... Big Bang Burger.

Diego: I’m sure it’ll be alright. You don’t have to come in.

Noir: I know. Thanks, Mona.

>With that, we leave. We’ll be back soon to take the Treasure.

>Meanwhile, inside the plant.

Wolf: (back in human form) Crap. What am I suppose to say to the doc now? How the heck am I suppose to catch that kid?

???: Through his friends, of course.

Wolf: What!? Who’s there!? I can smell you! You smell like... Death?

???: This is why I don’t like working with werewolves. Either way, 

Wolf: What do you want?

???: You say you wish to capture the one that got away. I know how you can do that.

Wolf: ... I’m listing.

???: He called his friends from Japan. I think that’s how you can get to them.

Wolf: How so?

>The stranger then swoops down from the shadows... Like a bat.

Tell me, have you ever heard of the Phantom Thieves?

>To be continued...
