#eeeeeeeeeeeh i did that

[mrghostrat]

You got me addicted to good omens human aus. Now I can't stop thinking of your fics and your future fic ideas and my own ideas. I can't focus on anything else you've rotted my brain. (I have not stopped thinking about the dreamland au since your first post about it)

My mini contribution to @echoes-lighthouse's Evil Slasher Orphanage! My wife Anna and I are here to help, and brought a few more kids of our own.

I really thought I was a horror fan until I sat down to draw this and came up blank. I guess I'm not a slasher guy, because a LOT more Monsters and Beasts came to mind, so it took a while to form a list. Though I did include Sam who is certainly a Creeture but.. They're human enough.

[howlingday]

Nora: (Koala Faunus) Um, excuse me, sir, but when is my order going to be out?

Ren: (Looks at her full bowl) Did you want to order something else?

Nora: No, no, just waiting on my salad. It's just been 20 minutes since I ordered it.

Ren: Wh- It's sitting right in front of you.

Nora: Heh, I think I know when there's food right in front of me.

Ren: ...Wait. Here it comes now. (Puts stick in bowl)

Nora: Ohohoho~! (Claps)

Nora: (Stick falls out) Eh... Eh..!

EEEEEEEEEEEH!

Fun Fact! Koalas live on a diet entirely of eucalyptus leaves. These leaves are potently toxic to the point that it is unsafe for koala cubs to eat normally, requiring the mother to consume and digest her meal first, then the baby can eat the post-digestion mush. Koalas in veterinary recover are given an addictive eucalyptus milk that they become so dependent on that they will injure themselves upon release to get more of it. Worse yet, koalas will only eat eucalyptus if they recognize it on a branch.

[Of course, a few seconds later, Simon notices and sees the box on the ground, he's not frickin' blind, dude.]

"Eeeeeeeeeeeh! A present?! With my name on it?! Thank you-thank you-thank you!" [Simon squeals, he's over the moon right now, he bounces and jitters up-and-down on the spot] "To answer your questions; Yeah, I ate dirt (sarcasm), and I used my hairspray 30 minutes ago (also sarcasm, but it did happen)." "Anyway--

[Of course, Pandi's being sarcastic for the third time about him being Sherlock Holmes (duh), but that's not important. New nickname given (hopefully will upset him somewhat): Sour-face! Get it? Lemon? Sour? You get it.]

"Now, wanna guess what's inside? No peeking...." ~~~ ooc: first time editing a drawing (1st one)! I hope xr not upset!

(it's alr! also x use normal you/your/yourself prns ^^ /nm)

[He seems to already be anticipating it, rubbing his paws together excitedly. His antennae seem to wiggle, too.]

Simon: "Is it a toy? Or a new plushie? Oh- Or maybe it's a treat! I'd really like that, that's for sure!"

Step 1, good idea: "I will not make a conlang for this fantasy novel I'm writing, the reader should have the same experience as the POV characters, and therefore everything should be 'translated' to an English equivalent, even names, just like Tolkien did for Westron in LotR"

Step 2, still a good idea: "However since some of these characters are immortal, this should be reflected in the way they speak, and they should have various degrees of archaism in their syntax to reflect this"

Step 3, slippery slope: "But then why not make the mortal characters also talk with dialect traits in their English syntax, to reflect the alienness of the setting, since all these characters are non-human"

Step 4, sunk-cost fallacy: "I need to spend month researching the grammar of non-standard English dialects and of older stages of the English language"

Step 5, end of the line, Bad Idea Central Station: "I need to write a reference grammar describing all these overlapping fictional dialects simultaneously"

People: "so, how's the writing of the book going?

Me: "eeeeeeeeeeeh"

My Stepmother and Stepsisters Do Not Pick On Me V

~

Cinder: Despite being an orphan, the Glass family has adopted me.

~

The Characters:

Cinder Fall-Glass - Our Heroine who was adopted

Amanda “Ama” Glass - Older Stepsister with Curly Hair

Lenalee “Lee” Glass - Older Stepsister with Straight Hair

Laura Glass - Stepmother and Madame

~

Cinder: This is my first night here.

Cinder: This room is huge and very clean...

Cinder: There used to only be rats in the attic and spiders in the mosquito net, I couldn't think of anything else. This bed is very soft too...This isn't bad at all...not bad at all...I can't sleep! An impeccable and perfumed ceiling and a bed that covers my whole body, I can't sleep because I've never had anything like this...! Besides...

FLASHBACK

Orphanage Staff: I'm sorry, Children. These not enough bed for each person, you're going to need to share.

Rude Orphan: I don't want to share a bed with her, she's weird!

PRESENT DAY

Cinder: I'm sorry...I just remembered a bad moment. This room is huge...I'll go to the bathroom to calm my mind...I hope it's not a problem if I wander around. *slowly opens the door*

Lee: *forces the door open* Just as I expected.

Cinder: Eeeeeeeeeehh??

Lee: We already knew you might get lost in the building anyways. *pulls Cinder along*

Cinder: Really...?

Ama: It's really cold at night so you should cover up. *drapes a coat around Cinder's shoulder*

BATHROOM

Lee: Well, I'll wait for you here, I don't like walking alone in the dark corridors anyways.

Cinder: Hey, wai-...E...Eh...Eh?!

Ama: So your big sister doesn't like the dark, huh?

Lee: Shut Up!

GUEST ROOM

Ama: Here we are.

Cinder: T-Thank you very much...

Lee: We have to get up early tomorrow, so you should go to sleep early, too.

Cinder: Ah...

Cinder: At this point...I can't tell them...That I can't sleep because I'm nervous.

Cinder: ...Yes.

Lee: Haaaa! I don't like people who don't speak clearly. *leaves with Ama*

Cinder: I've troubled Big Sister Lee and made her angry! Even though my sisters were so nice to me, I made them feel uncomfortable, how...how foolish of me! ...No, I still have time, I have to apologize for my actions! *prepares to leave the room*

Lee: *returns with Ama*

Cinder: Eh?

Both Sisters: *prepares extra pillows next to Cinder's on the bed*

Lee: If you don't like someone, you can tell us. We'll help you.

Cinder: Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhh?????!!!!!

Lee: If you can't sleep, just stay awake until you feel sleepy.

Cinder: Eeeeeeeeeeeh???

Ama: Are you hungry? I brought cookies.

Cinder: Eeeeeeeeeeeh??? What's all thiiiiiiiis?? Eeeeeeeeeeeh??? Eeeeeeeeeeeh???

Cinder: Hey...sisters.

Lee: What? Are you sleepy already?

Cinder: Thank you very much.

Ama: Fufu.

Lee: You're welcome.

Laura: *bursts into the room* Girls! What are your doing up so late?

Lee: UWAAAH!

Ama: Mommy?!

Lee: Where did you come from, Mother?

Laura: I can go anywhere without any trouble. MY room has a secret passage to all the other rooms.

Cinder: There was something like that...?!

Laura: On the other hand...So the Glass Family's daughters are having a slumber party, huh?

Lee: Mom...

Laura: I'll teach you all about pillow fights and tell you some love stories.

Cinder: Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhh??!!!!!

Laura: Strict punctuality is the basis of everything.

Lee: Sorry.

Cinder: I never thought Mommy would be up late, too...

Ama: We've never seen her sleep.

Cinder: Mom, just as I expected...I fell asleep with my sisters.

I have less hate for Norman as a character than most because while I absolutely see him as a shitty dad whose absolutely atrocious lack of communication skills did indeed mess Ruby’s head a whoooooole lot, I don’t see him as a physically abusive one. (And Zinnia and the Association take a bigger chunk of the blame for head messing too.)

Abuse in general is all about control, and Norman is absolutely not interested in dictating Ruby’s life. He acknowledged early on that Ruby formed a new goal in the years spent without him, one that he’ll never understand or can bond over but one he can still support. (TELL HIM THAT YOU IDIOT)(okay, he missed his first chance but the SECOND TIME)(YOU COULD’VE STILL SENT HIM LETTERS WHILE YOU WERE GONE) Ruby was the one who (logically, fine, here’s to that lack of communication) assumed Norman wanted him to continue battling.

(And goddammit Ruby, you should’ve left a note for your mom)

And while Norman threw the first punch and the ensuing battle was brutal as hell (and understandably triggering to some), well, Ruby was never afraid of getting beaten to a pulp. He understood that the battle was Norman testing his resolve rather than asserting dominance and was more that willing to fight back. Duels decided everything in this world after all, and power dynamics are less of an issue in a relationship when both of parties involved have super powered animals they’re more than capable of commandeering in battle.

And again, Ruby’s never afraid of his dad physically beating him (he’ll just fight back in the ever unlikely case if it ever came down to it again), and Norman makes it clear Ruby can live his own life separate without him. Ruby, however, does seem afraid of his dad disapproving other aspects of his character like the same lack of communication skills he inherited from him.

Raptor has this quirky attitude of imagining herself in different situations, such as when she imagined herself as a Kyuranger before she was chosen by the Washi Kyutama.

In fact, she has imagined herself being proposed to for marriage by Shou, a chef-attired Spada, a black-suited Lucky, and a white-suited Tsurugi while on a mission.

Minific idea: As she watches Lucky, Tsurugi, and Spada train shirtless, she imagined herself in the same situations but the boys were shirtless (and Spada in nothing but an apron tied to his waists)

...So, what you're saying is, that Raptor is canonically horny.

Okyu I guess?

I actually just ship Raptor/Spada so I'm gonna do them :D

"G-Good morning..." Raptor yawned as she came into the main room, rubbing her eyes sleepily.

"Buon giorno, amore~" sang Spada as he stood behind the counter, flipping pancakes on the stove. "Breakfast will be ready in a while, so please be patient!"

"Hmm... thanks..." Raptor frowned, squinting at her friend, thinking that was something was amiss but not quite figuring out what it was. She sighed and mentally slapped herself, figuring she was still tired from last night.

Raptor reached for the pitcher of orange juice on the breakfast table and poured herself a glass. "Well? How is it? I squeezed them myself, you know." Spada told her as he stacked the pancakes in a tall pile.

"It's delicious." Raptor said, and Spada beamed. "You didn't have to spoil me like this, though..."

"Well, of course I do, amore!" Spada replied, as if it were obvious. He walked around the counter, carrying a tray with the stack of pancakes, with a side of fried bacon and eggs over easy. "Only the best for you!" He said, laying the plates on the table.

"Spada, this is too much..." Raptor blushed, embarrassed.

"Oh, nonsense." Spada waved off. "Oh, I almost forgot the coffee!"

"Oh, I-" She blinked once, then twice, as Spada turned around to retrieve the freshly brewed drink. "Eeeeeeeeeeeh?!"

"Raptor? What is it?"

"Spada, you- You're..." She stammered, pointing in the general area of his back. "Where are your clothes?!"

"...My clothes?" Spada asked, as if the question confused him.

"Yes, your clothes! Why are you only wearing an apron, and not..." She gestured all over herself for emphasis.

He blinked at her. "I thought you didn't mind seeing me like this?"

"I don't!" Raptor exclaimed, before she realized what she had just admitted. "I mean, I'm not a hentai! I swear!" she cried. She stood, tripping over something under the table, yelping as she fell out of her seat,

~0~

...and finding the worried faces of her teammates hovering over her, loudly worrying about her suddenly spacing out and then falling out of her chair out of nowhere.

Raptor groaned as she got up. I did it again... she thought in embarrassment. "I'm fine, don't worry..." she said, shaking off everyone's questions. "I just got a bit lost in thought..."

"Are you sure?" Spada asked worriedly. "You seemed really out of it..."

Raptor squeaked. "Yes, I'm sure!" She exclaimed, standing abruptly. "Now if you excuse me I have somewhere to be, bye!" She said, bowing as she power-walked away from the situation and her gaping teammates.

Nope, they can never find out about this! No way!

[lunawings]

They just announced uhhh “virtual figures” for King of Prism!? Appparently you can pose them and make them perform and stuff? I have no idea what this is and neither did anyone in the Twitcast voice chat. It was like

EHHH?

Eh? Eh? Ehhhh!?

EEEeeeEEeeeh!!!?

NANI NANIIIIIIII!?

You’d think they’d announced a new anime it was so chaotic. We’re all so starved for new anything and nobody expected it hahah. 

[callmearcturus]

what is the mechs exactly? why would u recommend?

The Mechanisms, Jonny’s band before TMA (or well kind of during TMA, they officially ended the band recently)

I’m a little embarrassed because like. at least four years ago ppl were blowing up my inbox like “HEY ARC YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT THE MECHANISMS” and i was like “eeeeeeeeeeeh i’m busyyyyyy”

fuck Past Arc, she was a fool. the Mechanisms are great.

what if the Odyssey was a cyberpunk noir with a lot of Irish folk vibes, set in space?

what if The Matter of Britain was a gritty western with tarot iconography and a Morricone vibe, set in space?

what if Ragnarok was a closed door train murder mystery that had some fucking Meat Loaf-style vibrant rock guitars, that took a sudden left turn into eldritch invocations? and was obviously set in space?

I..... am becoming a big fan, because this is entirely my fucking shit.

I feel like some of the music is a little rough in that way you get when you’re a self-financed indie cabaret show with a lot of costumes and more sense than resources, but it’s still very very well done.

I am the sort of person who has to start at the beginning of everything, so I listened to the fairy tale album Once Upon A Time In Space, and it’s totally fine, but incredibly rough. “Sleeping Beauty” is a lot of fun tho and “Our Boy Jack” slaps.

NOW, ULYSSES DIES AT DAWN. I think barring once song (”Ties That Bind”) is fucking good shit. It might be my stealth favorite because i love the overall package the most. Also the reimagining of Ulysses as a nonbinary rogue who can swing between Tom Waits and angelic choirs, liek what the fuck what the fuck. but really “Favourite Son” and “Underworld Blues” FUCKING BANG, holy shit.

High Noon Over Camelot is very good but I find it a little too busy? “Hellfire” is good and oh my god i’m amused by “The Holder of the GRAIL” and the ending is great, but I feel a little cold about it. maybe i’ll come around.

BUT THEN. THERE IS.

The Bifrost Incident.

which if you can go into blind like i did you should. that fucking flip halfway through rocked me to my core. like TBI is not just A Good Mechs Album but it’s a good album. It’s up there with The Protomen’s Act Two: Father of the Death for truly tremendous concept album work.

if you are a completionist, start with OUATIS but brace yourself for some roughness. if you wanna jump to a good experience, go to UDAD.

have fun!

SSR Kazunari [Mankai Encore] Backstage Story Translation

Because of Outing event, I was able to get this card. So why not translate it also?

Summary:

Summer Troupe and their local rerun performance of SHINOBI misadventuring.

It will be this card and I’m pretty happy I can get this card because I did start the game quite late...

Disclaimer:

A3! is owned by Liber Entertainment

Translation will be below the cut~

Encore: Kiichi

Translator’s Note: Enjin refers to huddle or circle that they made to cheer before the performance. Teruteru bouzu is a rain doll, it is used in Japan to wish for specific weather.

 Kazunari:

As I thought, the best thing for local performance will be the onsen~

Kumon:

Yep yep, looking forward to it!

Director:

It seems that there aren’t so many people too.

So you can take your time slowly.

Misumi:

I wonder if there’s any triangle in the onsen~

Yuki:

What kind of triangle will even be there.

Kumon:

The pail might actually be triangular shape!

Misumi:

Yeay! Triangle~!

Kazunari:

During the first show, we did a lot for role study huh~

Misumi:

In the ninja mansion, tonosama game~

Kumon:

That was so much fun!

Muku:

During the time in the ninja mansion, I was so surprised that the lost Tenma-kun and Director-san could reach the goal first.

Yuki:

I didn’t know there’s another route.

Director:

I was pretty surprised too.

But, the ninja mansion was really an interesting thing.

Kumon:

Eh? By the way where’s Tenma-san?

Director:

He’s been here till just now…

Muku:

Wa… wait, maybe he has been abducted by the ninjas….!?

Awawa, I have to really go and find Tenma-kun before it’s too late…!

Kumon:

Ah! Maybe he was actually abducted by a ninja organization who lurks in the darkness…

Tenma-san!

Yuki:

You two calm down.

That kind of thing won’t happen.

Misumi:

Ah! Tenma’s coming from that way!

Tenma:

Oh, you guys, so you’re here!

Kumon:

Ah, Tenma-san!

You managed to run away from those ninjas! I’m glad~

Tenma:

Hah? Ninja?

Muku:

You disappeared so suddenly, so we thought you’ve been abducted by the ninja…

Tenma:

A, ah… Right, it’s like that.

Yuki:

You’re just lost, aren’t you.

Tenma:

Sh, shut up!

<Short Time Skip>

Kazunari:

Ah, that was great!

Kumon:

Perfect~!

Muku:

The open-air bath was so big!

Tenma:

You’re right.

Misumi:

But, I cannot find the stars~

Yuki:

Well, today has always been cloudy.

Kazunari:

But from tomorrow onwards it will be sunny, there’re still other timing to see them!

Misumi:

… Yeah!

Kazunari:

Hey, Director-chan, there will be some free time after the performance is over right?

Director:

Yeah, is there anywhere you want to go?

Kumon:

Since it’s the ninja village…. It has to be the ninja mansion right!?

Kazunari:

Look look, if you walk along the port you’ll look like you’re walking on the water!

Yuki:

He’s bought fast.

Tenma:

The research was fast too.

Kazunari:

Ah! It seems that there’ll be fireworks too!

Muku:

Right!

Kazunari:

If you look at all the pictures here, they’re all so beautiful!

It’s the number one Instablam-able place this summer!

Misumi:

Amazing! I wonder if there’ll be triangular firework~!

Tenma:

It’s indeed beautiful, but we still have our upcoming performance.

Don’t get too distracted.

Kazunari:

Courz! I know!

Yuki:

It’s a rare word coming from our leader.

Tenma:

It’s not that rare!

Director:

Then, we can all watch the fireworks after the performance, let’s do our best!

Muku:

Yes!

<Shifts to Backstage>

Director:

(It’s the day of the rerun performance…

Everything’s perfect, it seems like there would be no problem)

Kazunari:

It’s been a while since I wore Kiichi’s costume~!

Let’s pump up the vibe!

Muku:

You’re right!

Tenma:

By the way, what are we going to do for the huddle?

Kazunari:

Ah, I haven’t decided!

Yuki:

Sounds like a dejavu.

Kazunari:

Hmm~

Something ninja like… Summer Troupe doron! Like that?

Director:

Sounds like everyone’s going to disappear after that sound…

Kazunari:

Uh…

Right, I’ve decided!

--For whose sake is the world’s sake, we’ll do our part as shinobi…

Kiichi from Iga, reporting! You lose if you stop halfway, let’s go, brothers! Nin-nin!

Summer Troupe:

Nin-nin!

<End of Part 1>

Director:

(The story begins when two people who happened to be delivering love letters to the same castle meet)

Kiichi:

A Shinobi…?

Yoshimaru:

Iga clan?

Kiichi:

Are you a ninja from Koga clan?

Yoshimaru:

You’re right, but I don’t intend to fight you. I’m just in the middle of a side job, delivering a love letter.

It will be great if I can just LIME this love letter and get it over and done with~

Kiichi:

Don’t make such a modern statement!

Director:

(As usual, it’s SummerTroupe’s  specialty to add a comical ad-lib…

It seems the audience is enjoying it too)

<Short Time Skip>

Yoshimaru:

Hmm? Eh? Which letter is mine?

Kiichi:

Eh!? Umm…

Yoshimaru:

Umm… What – should – I – do –  now – which – one – is – it – let – god – choose. Right, this one!

Kiichi:

Eh!? Are you sure you can choose that way, alright then-

Yoshimaru:

It’s alright, it’s alright~

Don’t worry, Kii-chan.

Director:

(The two delivered the love letters to the Crane Castle and on the way they were met with a forked path--)

Kiichi:

What? There are two paths?

Yoshimaru:

Ah~ I think it’s fine?

It looks like something out of a weekly photo magazine, it looks dangerous!?

Kiichi:

It’s true! But don’t spread it out in the net, they will burn immediately!

Well, if it happens then let’s just use a fire extinguisher I guess, even thought I’m actually a ninja.

Yoshimaru:

Well, it’s fine~

Kiichi:

Right!

Director:

(Yoshimari’s colleague –  Santa – appears afterward and he said he is delivering a letter from the Fox Castle to the Tanuki Castle.)

Yoshimaru:

This, is my colleague, San-chan.

Kiichi:

I’m Kiichi. Nice to meet you~ Then cheers!

Santa:

Like I said I’m on an important mission!

Yoshimaru:

Where are you going?

Santa:

Something’s brewing in the Boar Castle.

Seems like they’re planning to attack the Fox Castle.

Yoshimaru:

Eh!? You for real!? That’s bad!

Santa:

The Fox Castle is planning to form an alliance with Tanuki Castle. If everything works out, we might be able to avoid war.

Yoshimaru:

I see~ So, San-chan is in the mission to carry that out right now.

Santa:

You’re right.

Yoshimaru:

That means you can still have a drink.

Kiichi:

This is San-chan’s! I’ll show you somewhere good, drink~ drink~ drink~

Santa:

Eeeeeeeeeeeh!?

Director:

(The three people had a drink, and the next day they were suddenly attacked by Kiichi’s senior –  Hyuuga)

Hyuuga:

You’re from Iga, aren’t you, I’ll not let you run away.

Yoshimaru:

Woah!

Kiichi:

Hyuuga!

Audience A:

Wah! That’s some amazing acrobatics right there!

Audience B:

I’m glad I got to see it~!

Director:

(Misumi-kun’s action, always so swift!

Even amateur can see how well it is.)

Hyuuga:

Kiichi, you fight too.

Don’t forget that you’re also a shinobi.

Kiichi:

Death for the traitor--

Yoshimaru:

Is there really no other choice…

Santa:

Let’s go, Yoshimaru!

Kiichi:

Ugh.

Hyuuga:

What, oi!? Who are you fighting!

Yoshimaru:

Hah!

Santa:

--Yoshimaru!?

Kiichi:

There!

Director:

(Everyone gets carried by Misumi-kun’s performance. Their movements become sharper and more powerful than before.

With this action scene, the atmosphere has also changed to a more serious one.)

Audience C:

Amazing…

Audience D:

So cool~!

Director:

(The audiences are also being drawn in by them!)

<Short Time Skip>

Director:

(Now that Santa and Hyuuga are stopped, the two planned to deliver a letter to the Young Lord….)

Young Lord:

… Is this really a letter from the princess?

Kiichi:

Of course! Look at the perfectly copied handwriting~

Young Lord:

Perfectly copied?

Yoshimaru:

Idiot, Kii-chan--

Kiichi:

--I mean perfectly polished ink!

Young Lord:

You, you were trying to fool me?

Kiichi:

Eh, I didn’t say anything!

I’m just saying that it’s a perfect love letter written with perfect polished ink and the perfect handwriting of the princess!

Yoshimaru:

Kii-chan, that’s not a good excuse…!

Young Lord:

So you really were fooling me!?

Director:

(The two who got in trouble because of the fake letter asked for help from the Kunoichi - Sae)

Sae:

So, you want me to deceive the Young Lord of Crane Castle by posing as the princess of Fox Castle and carrying out an alliance.

Yoshimaru:

Please~ Only you can do this.

Sae:

A month’s worth of Kameyoshi Shop’s dumplings.

Yoshimaru:

Tha, that’s a bit… I thought it would be like 5 gold coins or something!

Sae:

Ten then.

Yoshimaru:

Seven!

Sae:

One year’s worth of Amankai Shop’s sweets.

Yoshimaru:

!? That’s too much, isn’t that the high-class sweet shop out there…!?

Sae:

Then ten gold coins.

Yoshimaru:

Ugh… fine.

Sae:

Thanks for your business~

<Short Time Skip>

Director:

(They managed to avoid the war, the Young Lord will be married to the princess and the case is settled.

Shadows creeping over the two people who were celebrating their victory with alcohols and drinks.)

Hyuuga:

You’re going back to the village!

Santa:

You’re going to be working in the village for a while!

Yoshimaru:

Eh~!?

Kiichi:

No way~!!

Director:

(Kiichi and Yoshimaru were brought back to the village due to Hyuuga and Santa--)

Audience A:

That’s so interesting~!

Audience B:

I really feel drawn in by them!

Director:

(The tempo was great, the conversation and ad-lib all sounded natural too.

They really grew a lot since their first performance…)

Summer Troupe:

Thank you so much!

<Shifts to Road>

Muku:

Woah… amazing!

Kumon:

We can see the big seas from here-!

Director:

The performance was a big success, so let’s enjoy the day at the lake today!

Tenma:

It seems that there’s an event ongoing over there.

Kumon:

Yoga on top of a water board?

Misumi:

I know a triangle pose! It looks fun~!

Kazunari:

Since we’re here already, why don’t we try it!

Yuki:

Hah? Are you serious?

Kazunari:

Courz! It seems doable anyway! Let’s go, Kumopi, Tenten~!

Kumon:

Yes!

Tenma:

I guess there’s no other choice.

<End of Part 2>

Kazunari:

That was fun~!

Director:

Yeah, you’re right.

Muku:

The scenery from there is really beautiful.

Kumon:

Yeah! I’ve never experienced that kind of thing before!

Tenma:

The only things you guys did was making noise!

Kazunari:

Tenten was so scared so it was interesting!

Yuki:

SUP Yoga was surprisingly fun.

Muku:

Yeah, it felt really good when you’re finally able to balance yourself.

Kazunari:

Sumi was able to strike an amazing pose even the teacher was shocked!

Misumi:

It was fun~!

Director:

I’m glad everyone seems to be having fun.

So after this will be the firework display.

Kumon:

Yep! I’m so glad it’s sunny today~

Muku:

Yesterday we made some tetu teru bouzu together!

Misumi:

Then we might be able to see the stars too~

Director:

We didn’t get to see it in the onsen.

Kazunari:

Hey hey, actually one of the local recommended me about a good spot. Let’s check it out!

Yuki:

You’re chatty as usual.

Kazunari:

We’ve arrived~

Tenma:

Hee… This place has a good view.

Kazunari:

Not only the fireworks, we can also enjoy the beautiful night view here!

Muku:

Woah… You’re right!

Kazunari:

Right!?

It would look great on Instablam too!

Kumon:

Hey hey, let’s buy some snacks and juice!

Misumi:

That sounds good~!

Director:

I know of a place, let’s go buy some things.

Yuki:

Then, those who lost janken will go and buy stuffs.

Tenma:

Understand.

Muku:

Y, yeah!

Misumi:

Agreed!

Kazunari:

Then, let’s go~!

Janken…

Tenma:

Ah.

Yuki:

Congrats on being the only rock.

Tenma:

Sh, shut up!

Kazunari:

But if Tenten go alone, he’ll just become a lost child.

Misumi:

That’s true~!

Tenma:

Hah!?

Kumon:

Ah, then I’ll follow you!

Director:

Then, I’ll go too. It seems that we’re going to end up buying a lot anyway.

Muku:

Yuki-kun let’s go too!

Mairimashita! Iruma-kun manga summary - ch77 - Name of this feeling

Three beasts are destroying everything around and everyone need to evacuate far enough to safely take flight. Buildings are falling down and there are wounded demons as well…  Iruma watches the scene with unknown feeling swelling in his chest when he hears some random demons speculating about this whole thing being an act of terrorism. He asks Balam about it and the teacher confirms that those are summoned beasts

Balam: Someone has to summon them, and looking at their size/ there are several culprits… / Wait, what happened? Iruma: I don’t know…but/ I have a really uneasy feeling…

What is happening to our boy? He went through enough near-death situations to not be terrified by something like this… Suddenly they hear a cry for help. There is some kid coming out from under the rubble. 

Kid: Other kids I was playing with… They’re still in the hall/ but the rubble is blocking their way… Please help them!

Iruma reacts like every human would in his situation - he wants to do something. Only to be stopped by Balam.

Iruma: Sensei…? Balam: It’s impossible.

Then we hear random demons speak: “But the hall is where the beast is”, “I don’t want to get hurt”, “It’s too late”, “No way we go to save them”

Iruma: Why… Balam: Because they’re “demons”. Their desires are most important for them/ and they have very little compassion for those who aren’t close to them.

That’s right. Demons won’t move a finger if it’s not in their interests. They literally avert their eyes from this whole situation and can’t understand why Iruma cares. And the feeling in his chest is growing…

Random staff member: Stay back/ It’s dangerous. Iruma -I feel uneasy/ Really uneasy/ What is this feeling…It’s… spiraling- Azz: Iruma-sama! Are you all right?

That’s a really good question here, Azz-kun. What is happening with Iruma? He looks at the picture of them being happy, and then at the devastated park around him…

Iruma:…I see. -This feeling… This whole time I…  This whole time…

Iruma: The whole time… I was angry.

He angy!

Ok. Jokes aside because…

/////////////HOLLY SHIT RANT TIME/////////////

I CAN’T possibly stress enough how important this moment is. If you know even a bit about child development, you should know that kids whose parents ignore their cries when they’re infant become unable to recognize and express negative emotions (and this is only one of the bad effects). And we know for sure that Iruma’s parents totally ignored his feelings and problems. That is why he has a hard time expressing his bad feelings about what they did to him (or negative emotions in general). He knows that they were not normal but he has never been able to get really angry with them. The closest he got was a resigned exasperation and this is not enough.

And now, probably for the first time in his life. He not only recognized his feelings and expressed them -  he is also about to act on them /////////////AAAAAAA ok back to manga/////////////

Before anyone has time to stop him, he dashes forward, grabs the kid in the same moment the ceiling starts to crumble and carries him across the rubble while avoiding falling debris. Look at this action sequence

A great reminder that our boy is pretty damn athletic - ha was hunting bears when he was like five damnit! Eat this, demons!

Everyone: Eeeeeeeeeeeh? He dodged them all!!?

Ha! He better than all of you!

Balam calls his name but Iruma has something to say - The Icecream was delicious! And he had so much fun in the park, even when he got lost!

Iruma: But them everything got destroyed…/ This is absurd…/ I am probably angry now!!/ That’s why I’m going to strike back!!/ at this whole mess!!

He protecc!

Everyone else can evacuate. Iruma is off to save some kids! But he won’t be alone

Sabnock: -heh- You heard that? He’s angry, he says. Azz: Such a failure to not be able to notice his feelings…!!

They coming with him! (or are dragged along in Ronowe’s case)

Meanwhile, underground

Guard: What… is your…goal? Uetot: A rescue/ of a / prisoner.

Session 21 & 22: Close to Home

To get to the bottom of the incident outside their tavern, the party went on various errands and tasks to seek further information as well as follow up on leads already found before. Splitting into smaller groups they each made their way through Waterdeep in search of answers. 

Nygarth, paired with the newly outfitted Murgen, went to Phaulkonmere to speak to Melannor in regards to the corpses found on the mission as well as return the identification tokens of the druids. Here he learned that all of the supposed deceased druids had recently been seen or spoken to. Neither of them having been reported missing in any way, the matter needing deeper investigation and causing Melannor some concerns to the situation at the Grove.

It was also suggested that Nygarth’s direwolf pup could find a home in the gardens when growing too big to safely remain within the city’s housing. A payment was made for the rendered service to all those who had a hand in aiding the Emerald Enclave. Leaving Nygarth and Murgen the time for her to test out the new weapon Thirgrim had supplied her with. The spar lead to a victory for Nygarth and a frustrated finish for Murgen who called it to a stop when the burning defeat caused her physical agony. Their ride back to the tavern was initially quiet to allow the half orc some time to gather her senses. 

Meanwhile Chester and Passion headed for the Yawning Portal in search of Davil, finding him absent and Tashlyn occupying his room instead. While Passion was downstairs with Yagra, Chester went to speak to the Master of Arms and Mercenaries, learning that due to recent Zhentarim troubles and Davil’s open affiliation he had been arrested. Furthermore Chester is supplied with the information that the known leader of the renegade Zhent faction is Urstul Floxin and a warrant for his arrest has been issued. Though his location is currently unknown it’s suspected that the failed kidnapping of Renaer Neverember does not sit well with him, and he may try again.

Armed with the guarantee that he will be granted access to the City Watch morgue, Chester departs to find a Cleric in Hollyhand House who can assist the party in speaking to the dead. The Snobeedle family also had been in touch to ask for the assistance in finding their missing son, Dasher, after the necklace had been returned. Something for Chester to investigate in the near future on Tashlyn’s request.

The remaining members of the party made their way to the House of Gond, which Theryn had seen during his meditation to investigate Nimblewrights. 

Upon approach, the party of three are assaulted by a mechanical bird that comes flying from the top of the temple’s structure while a figure quickly vanishes inside. They soon learn that this is Nim, a nimblewright herself who lives in the attic room of the Temple and is unable to leave its grounds. Valetta the dragonborn priestess of Gond explains that Nim is a creation from a Lantanese Wizard, unique in many ways. 

When being shown to the attic the door is locked and Valetta has to persuade Nim to open the door, already displeased that Nim had caused an incident with the arrived party. Upon learning that the creature that Theryn had seen was Nim’s own creation, made to battle her loneliness, Valetta orders the acolytes to start clearing the attic of many of Nim’s creations as a punishment. One that is softened by the party’s insistence that Nim should not be punished for acting on her feelings. 

Valetta urges the party to destroy the wayward nimblewright and offers a payment of 500GP for the task, one that is made easier by one of Nim’s other creations. A nimblewright detector she had crafted in hopes to search for the runaway creation. To aid the party in this endeavour, she gives the item to them alongside various other curious contraptions she has made.

After getting together to discus a plan of action, Chester, Nygarth and Murgen depart for Hollyhand House where they search for Reed the cleric of Brandobaris and Urogalan. While in the corner of Halfling deities, Chester explains their names and domains to Nygarth. Offering the barbarian some insights in a different pantheon as well as Chester’s faith. They both try their luck at Tymora’s shrine, throwing the Lady Luck a coin before advancing to the last two shrines. Brandobaris’ covered in marks and trinkets of various kinds, while Urogalan’s is shrouded in shadows. From within the mischievous laughter is heard and the pair is introduced to the eccentric Reed. After a failed attempt to steal Nygarth’s purse they make their way to the morgue. Despite Reed’s impish nature he stays true to his word and casts the spell upon Dalakhar, the gnome who had been caught in the blast. From him Chester and Nygarth learn that he was indeed on his way to the party, he had heard of the adventurers who had saved Lord Neverember’s son from the Zhentarim and wanted to deliver the Stone of Gollor to them for safekeeping. He did all this on the orders of the Open Lord of Waterdeep.

With the information obtained, Reed takes his leave first and the others soon follow suit to make their way back to the tavern. Here the party agrees to have the evening to rest and prepare and that they would continue in the morning. Before everyone had gone to bed however, Reed appeared with the confession that he had skulked around, and had gone back to speak to the dead Zhentarim as well. From whom he had learned that they worked for Urstul Floxin and that they resided at Gralhund Villa.

The next morning they all set out with the nimblewright detector, aiming to enter the sewers where Theryn presumed the nimblewright had disappeared to. However with the device in hand and the night’s vision of a mansion they soon approach Gralhund Villa itself, where the detector’s sounds grow more insistent. This leads the party to change plan, instead starting to prepare to enter the villa to investigate further. 

To get over the high walls and into the estate, Nygarth is equipped with the extending stilts that help him get over the obstacle and assist the others in getting across as well. Chester having tried the gate while under an invisibility spell but having failed to break past the magical lock placed upon it with his tools.

Once all across they make their way unseen and unheard to the Coach house where they find only the horses, coach and a sleeping individual in one of the back rooms. Deciding to not disturb him, they cross the yard to a door that leads to the house’s kitchen, still not encountering anyone.

As the party advances they find the corpse of one of the servants on a pair of stairs, leading them to the household staff quarters and to a barricaded room where the remaining staff have gathered to protect themselves. With some effort of persuasion they promise to clear the way for them while Raivyre remains to protect them until they can leave safely. The others then proceed back downstairs and find various more dead individuals until they stumble upon the ongoing fighting in the great hall. Thugs are still standing over the bloodied remains of the household guard at the bottom of the stairs. 

A woman’s voice distantly heard calling out that the City Watch are on their way while the party quickly engages and dispatches the leather clad thugs, freeing their path to the stairs. With the rooms indeed clear Raivyre assists the staff to get out of their shelter and out of the house so she may join the party in the advance in the mansion.

Once upstairs they encounter the last standing guards barricading the thugs who are attempting to get past them.

This summary is like the best I could do after having slacked as much as I did, there’s so much more banter, nuance and detail that happened during the session but apparently I keep forgetting to write it all down so I had to get this out of the way because we’re playing again tomorrow eeeeeeeeeeeh

"Don’t sneak up on me like that." (Little late on sending this meme but this is for Leo from Izumi o: ) (don’t worry, you’re fine ^.^ ♥ I usually say that any memes I reblog are active for infinity XD)

“Eeeeeeeeeeeh?? But I... I didn’t mean anything by it! I wanted to surprise you, Stupid Sena!!” Leo felt a little bad, actually, which made him lash out a little, arms flailing around like bird wings.
