🟢HOSTAGE SPEAKS OUT, IRAQ THREATENS - Real time from Israel  

▪️A HERO SOLDIER HAS FALLEN.. in battle in Lebanon: Ariel Sosnov Sasonov, 20, from Jerusalem.  May his family be comforted among the mourners of Zion and Jerusalem, and may G-d avenge his blood!

▪️NEW LAW - DEPORTATION OF TERROR FAMILIES.. the Knesset approved in second and third reading the law to deport families of terrorists if they knew in advance or expressed support for the act of terrorism.

▪️A HOSTAGE SAYS.. Hamas former hostage Mia Shem addresses the UN: “Not a single humanitarian agency saw me or treated me, even as my arm got worse. Where was the Red Cross? Where was the UN demanding that they have access to us? On day fifty, I was lowered into the tunnels of hell, where I was kept in a small cage with five other Israeli women. It's been over a year and the UN hasn’t lifted a finger to free the hostages. You sit here in your comfortable chairs debating the lives of my friends as if they are a political issue and not innocent people being tortured by terrorists.”

♦️SAMARIA - TULKARM.. Air Force aircraft attacked a squad of armed terrorists in Tulkarm this morning.

 🔪ATTEMPTED TERROR - JERUSALEM.. Police neutralized a terrorist who tried to carry out a drive-by attack in Anata in East Jerusalem. A vehicle accelerated towards the fighters with a wild drive and did not listen to the calls of the fighters who acted instead of stopping, who fired at the driver.

🔹IRAQ THREATENS - THE U.S.?  Secretary General of the Iraqi Al Najaba Movement: If Israel attacks Iran through Iraqi airspace, we will attack the American bases.

Dazai’s path:  umarekawattara, anata o motto hayaku mitsukeru darō.

If I were to live my life again, I’d find you sooner

I’d decided to go with the armed detective agency, deciding to go with someone whom I was more familiar with. And that person just so happened to be one Osamu Dazai. It took us but a few hours to fully exit what I had perceived as a jail (which was actually just some abandoned warehouse that an anti-ability organization had utilized). After we had escaped from the cell they held us in the larger group split into four smaller groups who I would later come to know as: the armed detective agency, the port mafia, the decay of angels, and the hunting dogs. 

I later found out that the I went with the armed detective agency (whom Dazai was apart of) and that Chuuya (the shorted male) was apart of the Port Mafia (a rival organization to the ADA), while Fyodor was apart of a much darker organization, the Decay of Angels. 

A few months after my bumpy arrival to Yokohama I have found myself working for the ADA alongside Dazai, Ranpo, Yosano and a few others. Many of the people here are really sweet and entertaining. Kunikida often scolded Dazai for his lack of work, while Ranpo would send me on snack runs with him. 

In these months I’ve fallen into habit, making me not want to leave Yokohama so soon anymore. Especially when it means I’ll have to leave my new friends and the city I’ve come to love. Not to mention that I’ll have to leave a certain bandaged maniac. 

“-n, Y-N” Dazai called sing-songedly causing me to tear my gaze away from the window looking out at the people below. “Yes, Dazai?” I asked, wondering what he could possibly want now, just minutes after Kunikida had yelled at him for neglecting his paperwork. 

He stared at me for a few moment, a serious expression on his face before his expression briefly changed to one of being beaten, only for a moment though, before it was replaced by a cheerful goofy expression. “I must say, you’re the most beautiful person I’ve had the luck of working with. Would you honor my deepest wishes and,” He paused, his ears turning a shade a pink, “Commit double suicide with me?” 

I let out a sigh, a small smile gracing my lips, “No, sorry not today Dazai.” I said as I picked up some of my completed work to hand into the president. 

Once I had entered the president’s office Dazai leaned back in his chair, head pointed up towards the ceiling while covering his eyes with his arm (covering his blush). “Why can’t I just ask them out?” he wondered in a quiet whisper to himself, quickly fixing his posture once he heard the click of the door opening, signaling that I was coming out. 

Just as I came out, Ranpo beamed, “Hey, Y/n wanna go get snacks with me?” he asked, smiling goofily like a small child. Not being able to resist his charms, I obliged, “Sure Ranpo, allow me to put my papers away first.” I said, returning his smile as I made my way over to my desk, putting the papers away. 

As Ranpo and I made our way out of the ADA office Ranpo turned around, looking towards Dazai and mouthed something to him, ‘coward,’  which Dazai responded to with a callous glare. A glare that became even more pointed when Ranpo smiled evilly and grasped my hand, giving me a, “Let’s go! I know of a great place to get snacks!!” as he dragged me out of the building, causing a smile to find its way to my lips. 

After the hour-long excursion for snacks, Ranpo and I made our return, handing snacks to the various members of the ADA. As Ranpo retired to the couch to eat his snacks I made my way over to Dazai, placing a snack on his desk, drawing his attention away from his paperwork. “Ah, my dearest bookworm you shouldn’t have,” he said dramatically, picking up the bag and spinning around in his chair in joy, “I will cherish it!” He said, grinning at me. 

“You do that, Dazai,” I responded, feeling a smile appear on my face as I made my way to my own seat. Taking a deep breath I resumed my work on the paperwork before me. Soon, the sun sank in the sky, giving the agency office a golden glow. By this time everyone had made their way home, only Dazai and I remained. After fifteen more minutes of paperwork I decided to finally retire for the day. I turned my head towards Dazai, only to meet his eyes, ‘oh gosh, how long had he been staring?’ I wondered to myself. 

“It’s pretty late isn’t it, Dazai?” I asked, already knowing the answer, “Want to go to the dorms together?” I asked, watching him stare at me—studying me almost before saying, “Osamu.” 

“I’m sorry?” I asked, not sure what he meant by his sudden statement. 

“Call me, Osamu,” He said, gazing into my eyes the golden glow of the sun making him look almost ethereal, accentuating the color of his eyes. 

‘Call him, Osamu?’ I pondered to myself, ‘isn’t that more intimate than just his first name?’ I shook myself out of my thoughts, ‘if that's what he wants there is no point in fighting him on it.’ I took a deep breath, trying to keep my expressions under control, ‘it's not like it’s a big deal, it’s just his first name. So let’s try this one more time.’ “Would you like to walk to the dorms together, Osamu?” I asked, watching his eyes twinkle. 

“Why of course my bookworm,” He responded, sitting up offering me a hand. I smiled, taking his hand in my own as we made our way out of the agency. 

After a while of walking hand in hand Dazai, or Osamu rather stopped drawing my attention away from the path before us. “Say, Y/n.” he called out, a rather serious expression adorning his features. “Yes, Da- Osamu?” I asked, correcting myself mid-sentence. “Let’s go on a date.” He said, looking at me, a familiar emotion swimming in his eyes. 

“I,” I paused, ‘I what, I have to leave soon. I’ve been in Yokohama for a few months and I’ve overstayed my time.’ Sensing my inner turmoil Osamu gave me a small smile, “It doesn’t have to be anything too big,” he said, looking at me with a sort of fondness that you’d only see lovers with, “We can start with this walk.”

I was speechless, what was I supposed to say to that? I would be a liar if I said I didn’t harbor some sort of feeling towards Osamu Dazai, romantic feelings. But am I even allowed to feel such things? I am going to have to leave Yokohama at some point, I have a life back home (even if it was far too bland for my tastes). Can I afford to be selfish before I leave? “Okay,” I said, my voice smaller than a whisper. 

But Osamu heard it and smiled even more (if that was possible), and turned to resume our walk before I stopped him, grabbing his sleeve. “Osamu, I like you,” I said, looking into his eyes, watching as they widened in surprise. “And I would love to go on dates with you, but I’m not sure how long I can stay here.” I said, voicing my concerns, watching as he stared at me with an unreadable expression. 

Osamu came close, grabbing my hand, “Y/n, I’d think by now you would’ve known that you can stay here as long as you’d like.” He said, looking into my eyes as I stared back with shock. 

“What do you mean?” I asked, genuinely confused. 

“The agency has taken you under our wing, you are apart of us now.” He paused, “Meaning you don't have to leave, if you don't want to.” He added

I could feel my eyes widening in surprise, “I dont have to leave?” He shook his head. 

A sense of relief overcame me at the news and I found myself reaching out towards Osamu, pulling him into a hug. One he graciously returned, going as far as picking me up and spinning me around.

Still hugging me, “So, how about we go for dinner first?” 

“Sure, I’d love that.” 

Fin!

(1399 words) 

Bonus: jealousy 

A few months later: 

After the first dinner Osamu and I had many more dinners followed. I’m fairly certain the rest of the agency could see that something had happened between the two of us, not that they were against it, quite the opposite. 

Although, Ranpo and Osamu frequently glare at each other when I am with the other. Just because Osamu and I started dating didn’t necessarily mean I was going to stop being friends with other men or treat them any differently. And because of this Osamu and Ranpo have begun competing.

Ranpo and I go on our normal snack runs every other day, and whenever we leave he shoots Osamu a shiteating grin. One Osamu returns with a death glare (likely perfected from his days in the Port Mafia).

But on the other side, whenever Osamu and I go on break he makes sure to hold my hand and press kisses on my face as we leave for lunch. And while he does so, he makes sure to give Ranpo a shiteating grin (to return the favor from earlier incidents).

(A/N: Ranpo is your best friend, and Osamu knows that it just irritates him with how close you are sometimes (and Ranpo lives for irritating Osamu))

Second Chance (Future!Leo x Kalani) Part 2

Author’s notes: These are all Consenting Adults ranging from mid 20′s to late 30′s. MINORS DO NOT INTERACT! This is a 21+ blog and I do intend to bring some NSFW content.

Future!Leo is about 38, Kalani is 26. If you don’t like the age gap... tough noogies, I’m keeping it this way bwah ha ha! Now onward!

Shifting in her perch next to Raph and April, Kalani watched as Casey and Cassandra infiltrated the warehouse where The Foot and Purple Dragons were organized. With her hands twitching with anticipation and shoulders tight, she was ready to take down the bad guys and keep the Krang in the prison dimension for many years to come.

"A'ight, everyone in position?" Raph called through the intercom through his wrappings.

"Purple Knight in position." Donnie called back, hovering over the main hatch of the roof.

"All set, Raph." Mikey replied as he was already inside but hidden from prying eyes.

"Good, once we have the signal. We swoop in like heroes and stop them from bringing back the Krang. We don't need another attack." Raph stated before closing the comm and letting out a slow breath.

Kalani glanced over to him and noticed his right eye closed. The scar and pain that she had seen. He was partially blind in his eye. But Donnie helped with making a contact lense to correct any issues with his vision. He wasn’t wearing it. She knew it. But instead of berating, Kalani laid a hand on his knee causing him to look over to her hand and smile slightly.

"I'm a'ight, Kal. Don't you worry. Raph ain't gonna let them win." He reassured her, flashing a sharp smile.

April sniggered quietly as she watched the former couple. But before she could say anything to make it awkward, a bright flash came from inside the warehouse causing Donnie and Mikey to jump into action. Kalani and Raph looked over and their attitudes changed to a more stony expression as they leapt from the rooftop they were perched on and landed next to the entrance that Donnie went through. Grabbing his sai's Raph looked over to Kalani which she had her Tessen's in hand. With a nod from the Kappa, Raph took the lead as they both came through the door and leapt off the platform and into the thick of the fight.

Kalani looked for the Alchemist and saw that he was finishing a transmutation and working in summoning the portal. Speed stepping towards the Alchemist, she threw three kunai knives in his direction causing the porcupine yokai to yelp and jump out of the way in time.

"It's over, Dante!" Kalani hissed as she ran her foot over the chalk lines, successfully destroying the circles.

But the alchemist merely smirked and chuckled darkly. "You think so?"

Before she could question his own words, the feeling of sharp prongs pierced her skin and electrocuted her causing her to scream in agony. The water in her cap sloshing and spreading across her body only caused her more pain. The prongs, biting into her skin, pulled and twisted her into knots.

"KALANI!" Raph roared as he punched two Foot Clansmen and charged to save her.

But was thwarted by a large brute and fought back and captured by the brute. Raph soon realized that it was a cyborg Foot Clan. Holding him and the others in binds. The sound of laughter echoed into the air as the Purple Dragons and Baxter revealed themselves from their own perch.

"Well, well, well. Looks like Dante was right. The entire family comes to save the day. And we got the perfect specimen to help unlock the Prison Dimension. Thanks to Miss Kalani." Baxter smiled wickedly.

"Kono baka! Anata wa futatabi watashitachi no sekai ni shi o motarasu dakedesu!" Kalani barked in Japanese only to have Kendra snark.

"Not without the right tools, freak."

As Dante walked over, he kneeled down and caressed her cheek only to have Kalani spit in his eye.

"No wonder you were banished from the Hidden City! Betray your own kind and destroy all of humanity and the yokai kind."

Grabbing a fistful of her hair, Dante glared at her. "At least you'll be with your dead lover sooner than later." He chuckled darkly and cut into her art with one sharp cut of his quill.

Pressing his thumb into her open wound Kalani screamed in agony. Using her blood to redraw the circle and lend a sample to Baxter who took the vual and placed it into a large computer. As the vial slid into the machine, a large gate emerged from the floor below to reveal a gateway. Every one of the Hamato clan gawked in shock. Memories of what had happened before, flashed before their eyes. Dante, along with the help from the technology began the ritual and the gate began to come alive. Kalani's own blood, which held her mystic abilities of alchemy, was being used to open the gate. She was the sacrifice.

"NO!" Raph roared.

But the pur like chirping caught his attention as something fluffy landed on his head. Looking up and seeing the cyborg look with great confusion, Mayhem had arrived! Teleporting Raph away and next to someone else he wasn't expecting either.

"You should have listened to me about this plan, Red One." Baron Draxum exclaimed as he watched in rage.

"When the hell did ya get here?!" Raph exclaimed but was taken back to the present moment from Kalani's screams rang through the air once more.

The others had somehow found a way to escape their binds as well and began to fight back to rescue their sister and close the gate once again.

"Now is not the time! We must shut the gate and save Kalani before she is gone." Draxum explained before he and Raph charged into the fight.

Punching his way through with no care on how severe he was injuring the Foot, Raph made it to Kalani while Draxum fought Dante away from the circle. Tearing the prongs and cords that held her in place were torn to shreds, causing more harm than good on her skin. But he wanted her safe and being chaotic and destructive was the fastest right now. He knew he was going to apologize profusely later. It was a given. Cradelling Kalani to his plasteron, Raph got her away from the heat of it and laid her on the ground where she was in pain, but still alert with her surroundings.

"Easy, girl." He reassured her as she began to sit up.

Donnie flew over to them both and began to assess her injuries with his goggles that scanned her over. "We need to stop the portal. Their tech is using Kalani's blood sample and mystic abilities to help power the alchemy and open the portal."

"We know that, Don. But how!?" Raph growled as he saw Draxum, Casey, Mikey and April fight the foot.

Kalani sat up finally and looked over to Dante who was struggling to get to the circle with Draxum fighting him back. Then it dawned on her.

"Donnie, you think you can take down Kendra?" She asked.

"Are you doubting my abilities? Scoff!" The soft-shelled brother rolled his eyes.

"Fine, if you can take her down Raph and I will take care of the circle and the gate." Kalani added as she slowly got to her feet.

Raph helped her and wrapped an arm around her waist. "Ya sure it'll work?" 

Kalani didn't answer, but grabbed the katanas that she had strapped across her back and gripped them tight. "Stay close. We only have one shot, Red."

With a firm nod, Raph kept his hand on her back as Kalani summoned the sword's teleporting ability to life. With expert precision, she threw the other katana right on top of the alchemy circle where she and Raph ran into and landed back into the action. Donnie had rocketed himself to Kendra who was at the main control pad along with Baxter. Landing in the middle of the circle the gate came to life.

"Raph, take out the gate! I'll create a counter for this!" Kalani ordered as she swept her foot in one large circle, cutting off the power from the alchemy.

Dante saw what was going on and screamed in rage. "You Bitch!"

With the blade of the katana, Kalani cut into the earth a new pattern to shut the gate. But it wasn’t fast enough as a powerful blast pushed everyone onto their backsides. Kalani quickly scrambled to her feet and pressed her palms onto the alchemy circle.

"DO IT NOW!!!!" Kalani roared.

Raph activated his Power Smash Jutsu and expanded in size. But another, more powerful wave came through the gate once again sending everyone up and away from it all. Kalani flew backwards and hit a nearby panel that broke the gate's main power system. With a bright flash and loud explosion, the gate was destroyed but someone came through.

As the dust began to settle, Kalani slowly got to her feet and grabbed her katanas and was ready to fight. But her eyes landed on someone she was not expecting to see ever again. The blue carapace. A single large katana. Scars and damage on his skin. And one large mechanical arm on his right arm.

"It can't be…"

KOKIA in flashback - 2016

The year of 2016 has barely started, but it is already an exciting one for KOKIA as she gives birth to her son Leonardo (Leo for short) on January 13.

Amazingly, KOKIA is already back on the stage in weeks, for her second fully orchestrated concert no less! Later in the year, KOKIA also performs in Shanghai for the first time, and in November, she holds her concert LAYERS. This concert celebrates her 10 years of independence, shorter than her usual concerts but incorporating sounds, lightning, dance and effects in ways she's never done before. The title refers to all the layers of sound and visuals woven throughout this performance.

This is also the year KOKIA releases her first jazz cover album, Watching from above, featuring little Leo on the cover. The album is published by KOKIA's own office, anco&co, and therefore only available via the web shop or at concert venues.

yet another line / scene in an episode recap (2x03 this time) that was never in an episode. it had to have been 1) in 2x02 originally 2) related to the satellite imaging / anata-tek play against krakow, and i’d guess axe is addressing dollar bill (seemingly via video call) to tell him to go check out anata-tek’s warehouse and truck. in the existing episode, axe mentions that he expects to hear from dollar bill about anata-tek, and dollar bill later shows up with photos of the empty warehouse and truck, so this could be a missing piece of that process.

Ho sempre amato OutRun alla follia, senza quasi mai rendermi conto di quanto ci fossi realmente legato. Ho compreso la portata di quell'amore nel 2019, quando sono atterrato a Tokyo per la prima volta e pochi giorni dopo ero su un treno per Kawasaki con destinazione Anata no Warehouse: forse la sala giochi più incredibile di tutto il Giappone (possano le sue macerie riposare in pace). Stavo andando a Kawasaki perché l'Anata no Warehouse era un piccolo capolavoro, una di quelle sale giochi che se sei appassionato di videogiochi non puoi non vedere almeno una volta nella vita. Sotto sotto, però, sapevo perfettamente che a richiamarmi al cospetto di quelle vestigia di un parco giochi per nostalgici dell'arcade era proprio il cabinato originale di OutRun in tutta la sua magnificenza e quasi eccessiva opulenza: un tubo catodico incastrato in un ammasso di plastica, legno ed acciaio a forma di macchina da corsa dipinta secondo i dettami di quell' Enzo Ferrari che tanto tempo fa affermava con grande sicurezza che se ad un bambino si fosse chiesto di disegnare un'auto l'avrebbe sicuramente fatta rossa.

Provate ora ad immaginare la mia faccia quando varcata la soglia ho scoperto con orrore che di tutte le centinaia di cabinati sparpagliati per i quattro piani dell'edificio ce n'era solo uno in manutenzione, e che quel cabinato era proprio quello di OutRun che si era rotto proprio un paio di giorni prima. Mi si è spezzato il cuore, ma poco importava: quello che contava era l'aver fatto tutta quella strada pur di sedermi su quel sedile, inserire un gettone e guidare la Ferrari Testarossa più famosa del mondo (sì, più famosa anche di quella bianca di Miami Vice). È stato uno dei gesti d'amore più genuini che avessi mai fatto in vita mia, poco importa se poi alla fine non sono riuscito nel mio intento. L'ho fatto soprattutto per OutRun e per Yu Suzuki, e oggi che OutRun compie 35 anni non riesco a non pensare a quella mia gita a Kawasaki senza lasciarmi scappare un sorriso un po' malinconico.

Questa è la storia di un'icona, l'apice di un periodo storico che stava per scendere in picchiata verso gli anni ‘90 e la loro disillusione, pagando con gli interessi tutto lo sfarzo e gli eccessi che gli 80s si stavano lasciando alle spalle senza guardarsi indietro, lasciando che fossero le nuove generazioni a risolvere problemi che non abbiamo ancora finito di estinguere.
