hey, i'm lapi (30, qpoc, they/them) and this is my wrestling sideblog. i overanalyze storylines, make fanworks (fic, gif, etc.), and complain about bad booking (i lament the booking of evil). feel free to interact, send asks, follow, unfollow.

this is a kayfabe-compliant blog. i may make jokey sexuality hcs and ship wrestlers but only as characters presented in storylines and "in character" social media posts. basically, i ship characters, not people. i am not interested in rpf. ok disclaimer over let's gush about fakefighting

[BSTS] S2Ch1- Part 2

Part 1 ⇦ Masterlist ⇨ Part 3

Common 3

Zakuro: Hello there, Little Bird. It's such an honor to meet you.

Zakuro: Hmm, it seems like you're not feeling too bad.

Zakuro: I heard you collapsed and was taken to the hospital, which worried me.

Kazami Saki: Sorry for causing you concern.

Zakuro: By the way - you may have heard that song before.

Kazami Saki: Eh -- that song...

Zakuro: "BLACKSTAR".

Kazami Saki: (Come to think of it, Zakuro-san was there when I collapsed...?)

Kongo: Are you okay? You look pale.

Kazami Saki: Ah, Kongou-san, no, I just seem to be a little tired.

Kongo: Are you okay, sit down?

Kazami Saki: Oh, it's okay. Sorry.

Zakuro: I told you not to push yourself too hard. I must apologize for calling out to you so suddenly.

Kazami Saki: (...I wonder if Zakuro-san was there at that time, or was it just my imagination?)

Qu: What are you doing, Zakuro?

Zakuro: I was just saying hello to the little bird of destiny. It's human nature to be worried when you hear that someone has fallen.

Qu: That would be fine, but you're a pretty nasty bunch sometimes.

Zakuro: That's a bit harsh to say to a fellow Team C member.

Kongo: Even Qu is ruthless when it comes to Zakuro.

Qu: This guy has some things you can't read. He's the type who manipulates people to suit his own convenience.

Zakuro: I see, I see. So even if you didn't mean it that way, you'll be reprimanded if that's the result.

Zakuro: Yes, let's listen to him, since it's what the most sensible person on Team C has to say.

Zakuro: As the saying goes, haste makes waste. What I want to know remains in the dark.

Zakuro: Well, I'll be off then. I'll go to rehearsal first.

Qu: …Are you hiding something from Zakuro?

Kazami Saki: That's not my intention.

Qu: Considering Kei's obsession, there may be more mystery about you than I thought.

Kongou: They even hired me to be her bodyguard while shes in Starless.

Qu: When you're in Starless? That's a pretty strange bodyguard.

Kazami Saki: I don't really understand either...

Kongo: Well, I don't think it's good to worry too much about it. Whatever will be, will be.

Qu: This is a fairly flexible approach.

Kongou: That's life, isn't it? Nothing ever goes the way you want it to.

Qu: I agree with you.

Qu: Saki, there's no need to worry too much, but be careful not to be too optimistic.

Qu: Even if you don't know, your past and origins will always follow you.

Qu: Entanglements are such a hassle, seriously.

Common 3 extra

Kazami Saki: ...hm

*flashback*

Zakuro: By the way - you may have heard that song before.

Kazami Saki: Huh -- that song...?

Zakuro: "BLACKSTAR"

*end of flashback*

Kazami Saki: (Am I forgetting something? What on earth is "BLACKSTAR"?)

Kongo: Saki-chan, you are here.

Kongo: What's wrong? You look sick.

Kazami Saki: No, well, it's okay.

Kongo: …Maybe you should go home now.

Kongo: I'll take you to the station.

Kongo: I was told to be a bodyguard only inside the store, but today I just wanted to be safe.

Kazami Saki: Sorry, thank you.

Kongo: If someone falls, it would be scary for anyone.

Kongo: So don't worry, I told you, rely on me if you need anything.

SideA3-1

Kazami Saki: Hello Qu-san,

Qu: I'm glad I got to see you early. That you came before opening time.

Qu: As you can see, I'm currently cleaning up, but I'll be done soon. Once I've finished the glass and the glow sticks.

Hari: Did you come up with the name "Yakou" yourself? I named myself.

Yakou: Ah, Ran suddenly told me to just tell my name. I thought about it then and there.

Hari: It's a bit of a challenge to start off with something so simple. So you choose "luminous shell"...

Yakou: It's not even a mineral to begin with, but they didn't say no, so it's okay.

Hari: I thought it was taken from "luminous stone". Isn't that the more common name?

Yakou: What, there's such a thing? I didn't know that.

Yakou: I chose the luminous shell because the topic of Shosoin had just come up in a class at university.

Hari: Ah, mother-of-pearl. I see.

Yakou: To think that such a thing could be determined from the luminous shells found in the Shosoin Repository... Hari is pretty amazing.

Hari: Not really, it's within the realm of liberal arts, right? So, is Yoko a liberal arts student?

Yakou: Isn't it against the rules to ask something like that? An unspoken rule of Starless.

Hari: That's true. It's not like a normal part-time job. Excuse me. Please forget what I just said.

Qu: Hey, stop wasting your time. The customers are watching you.

Yakou: Isn't it before opening time?

Kazami Saki: It's a little early, but I'm here anyway.

Yakou: --Oh, so you were there.

Hari: I apologize for the inconvenience.

Hari: By the way, I've been wondering for a while, what is the origin of the name Qu?

Qu: Are you really curious? Well, take a guess.

Hari: Cookite is a mineral? Maybe it's a little different from what I imagined.

Yakou: Let me do some searching... There is a plant called Copper.

Hari: Which do you think it is, Cookite or Copper? Saki.

Qu: No, neither. Too bad. But it's hard to tell.

Qu: Saki, are you curious too?

Kazami Saki: Of course I'm curious.

Qu: Maybe next time I'll tell you in secret.

Yakou: Eh, please tell me.

Hari: The more it's hidden the more curious I become.

Qu: It's not like I'm hiding it.

Qu: Look, that's the end of the story. Finish cleaning.

SideA3-2

Gui: Mizuki, Yoshino said he remembered the song we sang the other day.

Mizuki: "The flowers bloom faintly"? You did it. You did your best.

Gui: I was able to remember the song because Mizuki listened to it with me. Thank you.

Mizuki: Heh, I'm the senior in Starless after all. If there's anything else you don't understand, I'll help you.

Gui: thank you.

Mizuki: What are you looking at, Qu? Are you complaining about something?

Qu: Huh? No, I don't have any complaints. Why did you suddenly bring that up?

Mizuki: You were looking over here and grinning.

Qu: I want to say that I found it amusing to watch you. I thought you were like brothers.

Mizuki: Well, I feel like I'm the big brother and Gui is like my younger brother.

Gui: I'm not Mizuki's younger brother.

Mizuki: He's like a younger brother to me, you know that.

Qu: Fufu, then I guess I'll be his older brother. Or maybe his cousin?

Mizuki: Qu doesn't seem like an older brother to me.

Qu: Do I have to be like Kokuyou? He's like "the big brother" type of guy.

Mizuki: Yeah, Kokuyou seems like an older brother.

Mizuki: It would be better if Haseyama and Kei weren't there. They change things all by themselves.

Mizuki: Honestly, Kokuyou needs to be more responsible. Without me around, he sometimes slip up.

Qu: Don't you think that Kokuyou will also change Starless?

Mizuki: There's no way that could happen, since Kokuyo is the one who is most obsessed with Starless.

Mizuki: Well then, I'm on shift. See you later, Gui.

Gui: Yeah, see you later.

Qu: ...Is that why he don't want to change Starless? Because for Mizuki, Starless is home.

Gui: Starless is a show restaurant, not a house.

Qu: I mean in Mizuki's concept. The cast of Starless is a pseudo-family.

Qu: His parents are Miki and his older brother is Kokuyou. You're the younger brother.

Gui: ...I don't really get it. Is Mizuki's master Haru or Kokuyou?

Qu: Probably not. But still as important as your Master.

Gui: If not Master... Saki? Someone important to me, someone I need to protect.

Qu: When you think you have acquired a concept other than mastery, you make a pretty bold leap, don't you?

SideB3-1

Ran: You're late, I'm tired of waiting.

Kei: I don't remember asking you to wait.

Ran: That's true, but isn't it okay to say "sorry" at times like this?

Kei: No need.

Ran: Geez, you're so mean. I just wanted to talk a little.

Ran: Hey, why don't you use BLACKCARD more? Isn't that why Haseyama is getting aggressive?

Kei: ...

Ran: Huh, no reply? No play at all?

Kei: There's no point in playing dumb with you. There's no reason to reply.

Ran: Yeah. I'm asking you to choose one or the other.

Kei: Then let me ask. Why are you telling me that?

Ran: That's because I'm on your side now! That's more interesting.

Ran: Honestly, there hasn't been much movement on our side, so I thought I'd get the engine going.

Kei: You're pretty bad too.

Ran: I just felt more inclined to bet on you than on Haseyama.

Ran: I know that sis is involved, but I want to know what the connection is.

Kei: She's a beautiful sanctuary. You can't touch her.

Ran: Wow! You're really gross. That was a real turn-off.

Kei: Who cares?

SideB3-2

Sotetsu: I hope there's no smell.

Kasumi: I don't know, I guess I don't understand it myself.

Sotetsu: That's true.

Sotetsu: Hey, Taiga, Maica, don't we stink?

Taiga: Eh, wait, give me a break. I don't have that kind of hobby.

Sotetsu: You idiot, it's not like that.

Maica: What's that smell? Grilled meat? It's pretty smelly.

Kasumi: Ah, it does smell after all. All-you-can-eat Genghis Khan*

Taiga: Well, it can't be helped. It's meat and Genghis Khan after all.

Maica: I'm telling you, if you serve customers with that smell, I won't let you off the hook. We're in the customer service business after all.

Taiga: Scary.

Maica: Huh? Did you say something?

Taiga: Sorry, it's nothing. By the way, what is Genghis Khan? Is it a special type of grilled meat?

Sotetsu: It's lamb. There's a sauce for Genghis Khan, and a special pot for grilling it.

Maica: Hotpot? You're grilling it, right?

Sotetsu: It is dome-shaped, and the oil flows to the outer periphery. I make it myself. I grill vegetables there.

Taiga: You're talking, aren't you? I'm surprised you know so much about it.

Sotetsu: I like it. If I had to choose between regular yakiniku* and Genghis Khan, I'd choose it.

Taiga: Eh, isn't that Kasumi? Since he's from Hokkaido, I assumed that was the case.

Sotetsu: Kasumi, are you from Hokkaido?

Kasumi: Hey, Taiga, that's not good. Personal information, trade secrets.

Taiga: No way.

Sotetsu: You too, Taiga. In Team W Takami is surprisingly talkative.

Maica: Is that so? He seems pretty stubborn though.

Kasumi: I don't think he's the type to show his love life or anything.

Maica: Ah, that seems to be the case. The customer service is perfect though.

Sotetsu: That's Maica's standard of judgment.

Maica: It's important.

Maica: Well, I'll go to the floor first. Do something about that smell.

Maica: Come on, Taiga, you go too.

Taiga: Yes, yes. It's the understanding party.

Taiga: Sotetsu, a word of advice, thanks. Sotetsu: When you got in contact with Nekome. Tell him to I will pay him back what I own him.

Taiga: You...

Taiga: No, whatever. If I find him, I'll let you know.

Kasumi: Wow, that's quite an attack, isn't it?

Sotetsu: What the heck, I just can't express my gratitude enough. I guess he would have done it for him.

Sotetsu: Well, I'm a swing vote. It's funny seeing everyone dancing.

Kasumi: Seriously, that's what it is, isn't it?

Kasumi: So why talk about Nekome?

Sotetsu: Don't you know? Taiga is Nekome's real-life younger brother.

Kasumi: Huh, real? Is that so? I've never heard of that before. You're really well-informed.

Sotetsu: It just happened.

Sotetsu: Better yet, let's take a shower. If I don't get rid of the smell, Maica will seriously beat me up.

Kasumi: That's bad. Also, you'll definitely get scolded if you're late.

*Yakiniku- grilled steak *Genghis Khan- grilled mutton

SideB3-2 extra

Sotetsu: Taiga, we're done mopping over there.

Taiga: This one will be finished soon too. Cleaning every day is hard work.

Sotetsu: That can't be helped, since it's a customer-based business. I don't have the financial means to hire a cleaning company.

Sotetsu: Oh, by the way, I told Kasumi that you're Nekome's younger brother.

Taiga: Oh, is that so?

Sotetsu: He seemed surprised that I hadn't noticed.

Taiga: ...Are you having fun? I knew you didn't know, but I still told you.

Sotetsu: It's not something to hide, right?

Taiga: Well, that's true. But you've added too many options.

Sotetsu: What options do you have?

Taiga: You're wearing it, aren't you? Seriously annoying.

Common 4

Kazami Saki: (Damn, I dropped the menu.)

Shin: ...Okay. I'll pick it up.

Kazami Sak: I'm sorry.

Shin: There's nothing to apologize for. I'll have to apologise to you too.

Kazami Saki: Uh, what do you mean?

Kazami Saki: (Now---when I collapsed the other day...)

Shin: The menu is placed at the end of the table. Well then.

Kazami Saki: Wait...wait! What does "I'll have to apologize to you too" mean?

Shin: ...It doesn't mean much. It just means you don't need to apologize.

Shin: Or is there something you need to say to me?

Kazami Saki: (...I'm starting to get confused...)

Shin: You should know that Kei is also a resident of the darkness. I have warned you, Saki.

Kazami Saki: (What does this mean? What is Shin trying to say?)

Shin: Close your eyes, close your heart. Don't trust anyone. All you need to know is in the darkness.

Kazami Saki: (In the darkness... I think Zakuro-san said something similar.)

Kasumi: What's the matter, Saki? Is there something I can help you with?

Shin: Is it the bird that heralds the dawn that seeks the glass marble?

Kasumi: Hahaha, sorry, it seems I don't have a good grasp of the Shin language.

Kasumi: I'm also sorry to Saki. I couldn't translate what Shin was saying.

Kazami Saki: Ah... no, well, thank you too. I'm sorry, I also don't understand.

Kasumi: I don't think you should force yourself to do something you don't understand.

Kasumi: It's not necessarily the right thing to reveal everything.

Shin: However, what is buried in the darkness is destined to eventually sprout.

Kasumi: I don't think Kei thinks that way.

Shin: Hmm, which one are you?

Kasumi: Is this a story for when there's something you want to know? Well, it depends on the situation, I guess.

Kasumi: If Shin ever wants to teach me, please let me know.

Shin: Maybe when you finally get over that lush bangs.

Kasumi: Mob needs these bangs.

Common 4 extra

Kazami Saki: ...I wonder what Shin meant by what he said earlier.

Kazami Saki: (Since I collapsed, there are even more things I don't understand...)

Akira: Hello Saki-chan. What's up?

Akira: ...

Akira: Did something really happen?

Kazami Saki: I don't really understand what Shin was saying...

Akira: Ah, that one. He really just speaks incomprehensible words.

Akira: You don't need to worry about it. How are you feeling?

Akira: I hate it when you don't come to the store, but I hate it even more when you collapse.

Kazami Saki: Thank you. I'm totally fine now.

Akira: I see, that would be nice. Don't overdo it.

Kazami Saki: Okay. Well then, excuse me.

Akira: ...Shin

SideA4

Rico: Hey, you came to see me, didn't you? How cute, kotori-chan.

Mizuki: What's up, are you messing around with her again? You like that girl, don't you?

Rico: Hey Mizuki, what's up with you, don't butt in line.

Mizuki: What's this? He seems to really hate it. That's interesting!

Rico: Stop with the pointless harassment, Mizuki is really a brat.

Mizuki: The one calling someone a kid is the kid in question.

Heath: …Are you okay? Are you caught up in this? Should I stop them?

Kazami Saki: Oh, yes please.

Kei: What are you making such a fuss about? You should be aware that you are causing too much trouble.

Mizuki: Shut up, stop preaching to me.

Rico: Do you want to join in on our banter with Kotori-chan?

Rico: I mean, Kotori-chan, are you really okay being surrounded by this guy?

Rico: Because, actually, he doesn't even look at Kotori-chan.

Mizuki: What's wrong with Rico? He's been bothering Kei a lot today.

Heath: Do Rico and Kei not get along?

Mizuki: Rico, you were in Team K before. At that time, Kei looked down on you, right?

Heath: He looked down on him...

Kei: Did you gain confidence after being ranked number 2 in Team B? That's interesting, keep it up.

Rico: That nonchalant attitude really pisses me off.

『Rco: In the end you only prioritize yourself.

Rico: Even with kotori-chan, you're just saying you'd protect her for your own interest.』 [Thank you sm for translating this part form me いきてnai ♥︎]

Rico: Ah, but in the end there was nothing you could do. You were there when Kotori-chan collapsed, weren't you?

Heath: ...Is that so, Kei?

Heath: Did she collapse with you beside her?

Kei: ...I won't deny it.

Mizuki: Kei, aren't you just all talk?

Mizuki: It's so shitty that someone like that can do whatever he wants with Starless.

Rico: You're a selfish person and you can't do anything.

Rico: In the end, Team K just gathers together people he likes and acts like the emperor with no clothes

Kei: ...

Mizuki: He probably look down on us anyway. Team B is ranked lower than K.

Rico: That's why he can do whatever he want, without any consultation.

Rico: What the hell is this about borderlines? You're just gambling with people's jobs. That's horrible.

Heath: I don't care if we get fired. It's terrible that you couldn't protect her.

Mizuki: Hey Heath, you get it now.

Rico: I mean, what is it Heath? Is Kotori-chan pretty special to you? That's surprising.

Heath: …Well, yeah. I kept quiet because I thought Kei would protect her.

Rico: To believe in Kei Just look stupid.

Kazami Saki: Um, wait, Everyone, there's no need to get so combative---

Kei: ....

Kei: I understand that you guys are unhappy. So?

Kei: I'm not the best for messing around, but if you insist, I'll play along.

Mizuki: You're starting to get motivated. That's fine, don't be scared and kick your ass.

Rico: Disrupting Team B's performance? He's in a position where he can easily use that kind of power.

Kei: Hmm, I guess it's the owner's responsibility to respond to a dog that barks asking to play.

Mizuki: What? You're treating people like dogs!

Heath: Let me say it. It's Kei who gets bitten and suffers the consequences.

Rico: Saki-chan, come over here. Heath doesn't trust Kei either.

Kazami Saki: Eh, that―

Kei: Saki, I don't mind. I would prefer you to remain neutral.

Kei: I'm not so shameless as to make this your problem.

SideA4 extra

Heath: ...Cough, cough.

Mizuki: Hey, Heath. Are you okay?

Heath: Well, at least I'm alive.

Rico: What is that reply? Heath always seems to be on the edge.

Heath: Well. …Cough.

Mizuki: Don't be so reckless. All you have to do is go wild on stage.

Heath: It's okay. I just tried a little too hard.

Rico: Hmm, well, whatever.

Rico: Anyway, Kei. That was so damn lame.

Mizuki: Well. He has a big mouth, but that's it.

Rico: I wish Kotori-chan would just give up on a guy like that.

Heath: …I agree.

SideB4

Akira: Shin, are you going home now?

Shin: ...Messengers always come. Especially after you think it's over.

Akira: I don't care about that sort of thing. Won't you tell me?

Akira: What happened to that song I sang?

Shin: ...I guess it's still bothering you.

Akira: Of course I'm curious. I sang it pretty well.

Akira: Oh, that's the new Starless show. BLACKSTAR.

Shin: It is an original sin sealed away long ago.

Akira: So, I don't care about that sort of thing.

Akira: Please explain it more clearly.

Shin: Can the sword that kills a god be born from the valley of death? That's fine.

Shin: That's an old Starless performance.

Akira: If so, then I should know. I've been doing Starless shows since the beginning.

Shin: “Before that.”

Shin: To open the gates of hell, a wedge must be driven into your heart.

Akira: …I don't know what you're saying. What on earth does "before that" mean?

Shin: Akira. Do you want that show?

Akira: I want it. Can you give it to me?

Shin: It's not mine to begin with. The wheel of fate has already turned.

Shin: I have always been nothing more than a bystander. That woman's future remains shrouded in darkness.

Akira: …You're a pretty terrible guy.

Shin: You already know that the starry sky of kindness is an illusion.

Shin: Right now I don't know either. Should I break the seal or leave it alone?

Akira: I definitely want to do that show. The seal must be broken.

Shin: That's not all. But-- There is no way to stop the turning of fate.

Akira: ...I really don't understand.

Akira: Tsk, the lighter's not working. I can't even smoke.

Heath: No cigarette lighter?

Akira: Heath, how long have you been here?

Heath: From a while ago.

Akira: Do you have fire?

Heath: I don't have it.

Akira: Disappointing.

Heath: I was just talking to Shin. Did you hear "BLACKSTAR"?

Akira: This is a song that I added vocals to at Shin's request some time ago. It looked like a W number, but apparently it wasn't.

Heath: Hmm. ...Shin was hiding something.

Akira: Maybe so. I don't know though.

Heath: …Hey Akira, I want to go to the previous Starless, but I don't know where it is.

Akira: I'll show you around.

Heath: Next time, please. It's something I need.

English is not my main language so there may be a lot of mistakes. I used google translator most of the time so if you find any mistakes in the translation please let me know and I will fix them quickly!

ESKE APRANTISAJ ELEV NAN DIMON KAPAB FET NAN ESTRES AK GRANGOU …

Par Jean-Marie Mondésir

Pwoveb ayisyen yo aprann nou bel leson lavi tankou : « chen grangou pa jwe » e genyen lot ki di « sa k vid pa kanpe ». Nou konprann nan konteks sosyoekonomik difisil peyi dayiti a yon elev ki al lekol grangou pa gen konsantrasyon pou aprann e si genyen lapli k ap tonbe sou tet li nan sal klas la se yon lot pwoblem ki vin deranje predispozisyon kapasite aprantisaj li.

Tout edikate, anseyan e pwofese konprann yon elev bezwen yon bon anvironnman estab ki pou fasilite aprantisaj li. Si gen vyolans lakay li ki kreye estres ak grangou nan vant e fatig san konte imilyasyon sibi akoz devwa ki pa fet; sityasyon sa pa pemet yon elev ki pa gen okenn paran ki konn li ak ekri ap renmen rete lekol. Wol lekol se pemet yon jenn aprann nouvel konesans k ap ede l vin yon sitwayen onet e responsab k ap kontribye nan devlopman kominote li.

Avantaj yon moun ki edike li pa mete timoun sou late san reflechi e li toujou chache limite nesans pitit li. Li chache pwoteje anvironnman, li pa koute pye bwa sou teren agrikol yo. Li aksepte kontribye nan devlopman kominote l epi li toujou pre pou ankouraje lot vanse pi devan. Yon moun edike kote paran li aprann kek vale fondamantal (pataj, antred, solidarite, travay an ekip) pa egoyis, li renmen pwogre epi li toujou disponib pou travay ak lot pou pwoteje sous dlo ak teren agrikol andeyo yo. Nan sans sa li bon pou moun ki konprann enpotans wol ak fonksyon lekol mete ak lot pou fe solidarite yon mannye pou boujonnen lespwa pou fanmi an difikilte yo.

Sitwayen ki angaje nan devlopman kominote peyizan yo dwe pran tan reflechi sou pwoblematik sa yo ki anpeche yon jenn nan milye defavorize yo evolye nan domenn edikasyon. Pou sa ki konsene aprantisaj Jenn nan kolektivite Dimon, li enpotan pou n ankouraje jenn ki frekante yon etablisman piblik jwenn akonpayman sitwayen bon volonte pou soutni jenn yo kontinye aprann pou yo kapab prepare avni yo.

Kolektivite Dimon genyen twa etablisman piblik k ap fome jenn elev pou yon demen miyo. Ekol nasyonal sa yo se pwopriyete kominote kote yo tabli. Nou konnen byen paran yo pa gen mwayen pou sipote elev ki gen difikilte aprantisaj akoz mank resous nan lekol la ki pa pemet li pwogrese pou li kapab amelyore kondisyon lavi fanmi li. Nou rete kwe chak sitwayen ki konn vale edikasyon dwe travay ak lot pou mete bonjan kondisyon pou ankouraje jenn elev yo aprann yon metye ki kapab ede yo jwenn otonomi finansye yo nan entere devlopman kominote lakay.

Nou konprann sitwayen ki deklare se wol Leta pou li mete bonjan pwogram nan lekol yo pou pemet jenn yo aprann nouvel konesans. Reyalite milye peyizan yo demontre otorite yo pa sousye pou devlopman kominote riral yo. Anpil dirijan politik konnen peyizan yo ekziste selman nan peryod elektoral. Depi yo fin eli se entere pesonel yo al defann. Yo pa janm batay pou yon meye finansman nan depatman ni komin ak seksyon kominal yo.

Nou konnen kondisyon sosyoekonomik moun k ap viv andeyo yo difisil paske yo pa travay late menmjan tankou lontan. Anpil nan yo abandone elvaj ak pwodiksyon agrikol yo pou konsome pwodwi etranje. Si yo refize konsome pwodwi lokal tankou (mayi, veritab, manyok, patat, pitimi, pwa kongo ak pwa chous) nou dwe konprann pwodwi enpote tankou (diri, espagueti elatrye) koute anpil lajan pou achte yo. Nou kwe li nesese pou n ankouraje pwodiksyon agrikol nan kominote lakay pou pemet fanmi yo pran swen pitit yo san konte asistans gouvennmantal ak diaspora.

Nou pa rive konprann yon paran ap kale pitit chak ane epi li konte sou Leta ou diaspora pou voye lajan chak mwa pou l pran swen pitit li pou li. Pandansetan, li kontinye jwe bolet, bwe tafya epi parye lajan nan gage chakjou. Nou kwe fok oganizasyon lokal yo pran tan pou sansiblize paran iresponsab sa yo ki kontribye nan ogmante lamize nan milye peyizan yo. Kolektivite Dimon pa diferan nan konsta nou fe sou reyalite abitan kap viv andeyo peyi a. Legliz pwotestan, katolik, oganizasyon lokal yo, notab ak diaspora yo dwe travay an ekip pou sansiblize abitan k ap evolye nan kominote riral yo.

Nou rete kwe se nan solidarite ak tout akte lokal yo nan kolektivite Dimon nou ap rive konsyantize paran ki neglije voye pitit yo lekol pou ramase bonjan konesans k ap pemet yo amelyore kondisyon lavi fanmi yo. Nou dwe travay ansanm pou n chanje model edikasyon k ap fome jenn pou peyi etranje pou fome antreprene kay kreye djob pou ogmante ekonomi lokal seksyon kominal yo. Nou dwe kontribye pou n ankouraje jenn peyizan nou yo aprann yon metye ki kapab ede yo patisipe nan devlopman kominote yo, kreye aktivite ekonomik k ap pemet ogmante riches nan entere popilasyon lokal yo.

Lekol nasyonal nan kolektivite Dimon dwe repare kout ke kout pou pemet jenn elev yo kontinye aprann san ke sote nan yon anvironnman ki ensite aprantisaj nouvel konesans. Pandan nou ap mobilize fos diaspora Dimon an pou yo kontribye nan reparasyon twati lekol la e nou ankouraje tout jefo k ap fet pou pran bonjan mezi pwoteksyon lokal lekol nasyonal la pou anpeche lot moun vandalize etablisman piblik la. Chak sitwayen ki kwe nan devlopman lakay dwe angaje yo pou patisipe nan sovgad e pwoteksyon patrimwan sila nan entere popilasyon lokal la.

Chris Andrews SONG OF THE WEEK “You Won’t Be Seeing Me Anymore” by Tim Andrews w/Gordon Haskell https://timchrisandrews.bandcamp.com/track/you-wont-be-seeing-me-anymore The late musician Gordon Haskell was often noted for his role in an early incarnation of King Crimson. However, beyond that he was a prolific singer-songwriter who, after years as a “starving folksinger,” found success in the 90s with the hit single “How Wonderful You Are” and the platinum album HARRY’S BAR. Before all those successes he worked with Chris Andrews (a.k.a. Tim Andrews) in the “freakbeat” band Fleur de Lys, springboard for the careers of Pete Sears (Jefferson Starship) and guitar hero Bryn Haworth.

In 1967 Gordon wrote and played bass and guitar on “You Won’t Be Seeing Me Anymore.” The track was recorded in London, but it has a folk-pop California sound that could’ve come from Laurel Canyon or San Francisco. On a cosmic jukebox this would play next to It’s A Beautiful Day (“White Bird”) and Love. The lyrics are aboutseasonal love, coming from a young man who travels for a long time and leaves his troubled sweetheart behind.

The track was produced by Paul Clay (Ace Kefford, Sharon Tandy, early Yes) and Mike Noble (Joan Armatrading, Fleur de Lys, John Kongos). It was the B-side of “Sad Simon Lives Again,” Tim’s first solo single after he’d signed with renowned producer, promoter, and music executive Tony Hall (who’d plugged The Beatles, Carmen McRae, and inked Black Sabbath’s first record deal). Tim later reverted to his real name Chris and went on as a solo act and a collaborator with Roger Daltrey, David Essex, and Davy Jones (Monkees). Meanwhile, enjoy this rare track:

This culture is characterized by the need for mobility to take advantage of seasonally available food supplies. The use of pottery was rare due to its weight, but intricate baskets were woven for containing water, cooking food, winnowing grass seeds and storage—including the storage of pine nuts, a Paiute-Shoshone staple. Heavy items such as metates would be cached rather than carried from foraging area to foraging area. Agriculture was not practiced within the Great Basin itself, although it was practiced in adjacent areas (modern agriculture in the Great Basin requires either large mountain reservoirs or deep artesian wells). Likewise, the Great Basin tribes had no permanent settlements, although winter villages might be revisited winter after winter by the same group of families. In the summer, the largest group was usually the nuclear family due to the low density of food supplies.

O Homem Chamado Yoshitaka Mine 2/4

Dentro da Nishikiyama Gumi, Mine se concentra cada vez mais em obter dinheiro e relevância para chamar atenção de Daigo, ficando mais intimo de Kanda e da Yakuza em si.

[ESCRITÓRIO DA NISHIKIYAMA GUMI]

Nidaime Daigyo da Nishikiyama Gumi: Ooooh! Um presidente de uma empresa de capital de risco, hein…

{T/N: Vou encurtar o título dele para Daigyo (Presidente Interino) de agora em diante, já que esse mano nunca recebeu um nome.}

Kanda: Daigyo. Esse cara, o Mine, parece ser muito bom em fazer uma grana.

To certo de que ele vai ser uma grande potência para nós.

Daigyo: Bem, ele trouxe muitos presentes com ele, então acho que está tudo bem.

Kanda, por favor, conte a ele sobre nosso kumi (forma externa de se referir um grupo sem sinalizar seu sufixo)

Kanda: Sim. Deixa comigo.

… Tá bem então. Beleza, Mine, o que devo contar primeiro?

Mine: Kanda-san. Então, em primeiro lugar, você poderia me contar sobre a situação financeira da Nishikiyama soshiki (Forma civilizada de falar organização)?

Kanda: As finanças? Sim, tá bem.

[Um tempo depois.]

Kanda: … E essa é a situação. Desde a morte do oyaji (Patriarca) anterior, nossa kumi tem estado numa situação complicada devido à tretas internas.

Mine: Compreendo. Em outras palavras… São necessárias “melhorias de gestão”.

… Eu entendo. Vou tentar pensar em uma maneira de aumentar nossa renda.

Alguns dias depois…

[ESCRITÓRIO DA NISHIKIYAMA GUMI]

Kanda: Que diabos!? Você quer que a gente compre o Terceiro Edifício Kuwata!?

Mine: Sim. Achei que seria um imóvel fundamental para a Nishikiyama soshiki aumentar significativamente sua renda.

Kanda: Mas, Mine, os inquilinos daquele prédio não ganharão muita grana.

O que mais tem ali, além de casas de massagem suspeitas, lojas de ramen toscas e bares bregas?

Mine: Na verdade… O imensamente bem-sucedido Club Gold Panther está atualmente procurando um segundo local.

A localização do Terceiro Edifício Kuwata parece ser perfeita para o que procuram.

Kanda: Que diabos? Gold Panther?

Mine: Sim. Portanto, deveríamos resolver as relações jurídicas desse edifício, comprá-lo, desocupar o terreno e depois vendê-lo.

Já conversei com o dono do Gold Panther.

Kanda: Isso é… Jiage! (Pressionar inquilinos a vender seus negócios e valorizar o imóvel para vender por um preço bem maior). Mas, esse edifício não está no shima (Território) da Kongo Gumi, uma organização de terceira da Rikio Kai?

Ei. Mine, ce não pode… Você está tentando começar uma guerra agora?

Mine: Não, não. Vou negociar para evitar isso.

“Fusões e Aquisições”.

Kanda: Uh, “Fusões e Aquisições”? Que isso?

Mine: O plano é incorporar a Kongo soshiki como um grupo subordinado da Nishikiyama soshiki

Isso significa que eles serão transferidos da Rikio kigyō (Forma empresarial de dizer empresa ou corporação) para nós.

Kanda: Uhm… Em outras palavras, ce vai fazer com que todo o kumi e o shima deles façam parte do nosso?

Mine: Sim. Dessa forma, a venda do terreno que buscamos ocorrerá sem problemas.

Kanda: Saquei…

Mine: E se incorporarmos a Kongo soshiki, não só esse nawabari (forma civil de falar território) específico, mas também os outros negócios que a Kongo soshiki detém virão com ele.

Pelo que consegui descobrir, a Kongo soshiki possui vários negócios influentes.

No entanto, parecem estar em dificuldades devido à falta de uma gestão eficiente, o que os impede de aumentar os seus lucros.

Portanto, se melhorarmos nossa gestão após incorporá-los à nosso soshiki, nossos pagamentos a nossa kigyō deverão aumentar.

Kanda: Mas como é que isso vai funcionar? Eles vão se juntar com a gente tão facilmente?

Mine: Nesse sentido, vou negociar com a Rikio kigyō e oferecer um pequeno pagamento ao topo da organização.

Kanda: Ah. Pagar um pouquinho…

Mine: Isso seria um bom negócio para nós. O pagamento para a organização deles é pequeno, mas nossa renda mensal acabará aumentando.

Será necessário algum investimento inicial da nossa parte, mas estou certo de que acabará por compensar muito.

Quanto à Rikio kigyō, tenho certeza que eles terão algumas reclamações… Mas são uma organização fraca e moderada, então mesmo que estejam diretamente associados…

Eles não pensariam em brigar com a Nishikiyama soshiki.

Kanda: Saquei. É verdade que o Nidaime (Segundo Presidente) da Rikio Kai é um bundão. Tenho certeza de que ficaria pianinho.

Mas o problema são… os membros. Se a Kongo gumi mudasse de oya (Organização patriarcal ou "clã") por causa de dinheiro, isso não seria algo honroso de se fazer.

Pra ser honesto, duvido que eles te escutem.

Mine: … Se for esse o caso… Terei mais uma moeda de troca para negociação.

Kanda: Moeda de troca?

[ESCRITÓRIO KONGO GUMI]

Kongo: … Entendo. Certamente, não é um mau negócio.

Mine: … O que você acha? Estaria disposto a considerar?

Kongo: Mine-san. Como alguém que já teve uma ocupação respeitável, você pode não entender isso, mas o submundo do crime é um mundo de honra.

Se eu deixasse a Rikio Kai, a organização que cuidou de mim, e me juntasse à Nishikiyama Gumi, seria uma traição com meus oya

Essa é a única coisa que não posso fazer, não importa o que aconteça. A honra é mais valiosa que o dinheiro.

Mine: Honra… você diz. Eu vejo o que você quer dizer. É apenas…

Kaichou (forma civil ou empresaral de dizer Chairman) Kongo. Você já não perdeu sua honra?

Kongo: O quê? O que você quer dizer?

Mine: ouvi dizer que você ganhou muito dinheiro com um acordo de insolvência mês passado. No entanto, você não relatou isso.

Você está tentando fugir do pagamento a Rikio kigyō, não é?

Kongo: O que-…

Mine: E não foi só no mês passado. Nos últimos seis meses, há indícios de que você tem evitado pagamentos para com a kigyō.

Suponho que foi porque você estava lutando para arrecadar dinheiro suficiente, mas ainda assim é inegavelmente um ato de traição, não é?

Kongo: … E-Ei… Mine: Isso não pode ser esquecido, não é? Como você vai consertar isso? Hm?

Kongo: … Uh…

Mine: Porém, se você se juntar a nós, nós cuidaremos da situação.

Como posso ajudá-lo?

Kongo: …

[Fora do Escritório]

Kanda: Heheheh. Eu não esperava que fosse tão bem. Mine, você é muito bom.

Mine: Agradeço por suas amáveis palavras. …Hum?

Chimpira (Delinquente da Yakuza): Seus desgraçados… Tão achando que vão sair daqui inteiros?

Kanda: O que é isso, a Kongo Gumi? Pensei que ce tínha falado com o kumicho.

Chimpira: Eu não me importo com o oiaji. Esta é a nossa maneira de fazer as coisas.

Mine: Bem, acho que existe esse tipo de pessoa também.

Kanda: Mine. Deixa o quebra pau comigo.

[Kanda bate neles.]

Alguns dias depois…

[ESCRITÓRIO DA NISHIKIYAMA GUMI]

Mine: Kanda-san. Conseguimos vender o imóvel onde estava localizado o Terceiro Edifício Kuwata.

Incluí o dinheiro da venda em nossa renda.

Kanda: Hahaha! Tamo arrecadando! Mine, você é foda!

Mine: Estou feliz por ter lhe ajudado . No entanto, temos um longo caminho a percorrer.

Parece que existem muitos soshiki que sofrem com as cicatrizes da guerra com a Omi, com negócios não rentáveis e com poucos rendimentos.

Devíamos intervir em um nawabari assim e tentar melhorar a gestão.

Pretendo propor a transferência da Nishikyama soshiki para as principais soshiki de terceiro escalão e inferiores em condições vantajosas.

Kanda: Ah. Assuma o controle deles rapidamente!

Mine: Isso pode ser abrasivo, mas se conseguirmos melhorar a gestão, os lucros da Tojo kigyō como um todo aumentarão significativamente.

Isso também significa um aumento no valor pago à sede.

Kanda: Huhuhuh. Tá ficando interessante. A gente vai engolir Kamurocho.

Mine: (É uma jogada bastante agressiva, mas se tivermos um lucro enorme e nos destacarmos, com certeza chamaremos a atenção de Daigo Dojima.)

(E então posso determinar. Que tipo de homem ele é.)

Algumas semanas após Mine se tornar membro da Nishikiyama Gumi.

[CLUBE]

Kanda: Hahaha! Hoje é por minha conta, bebam!

Chimpira medíocre A : Aniki! (forma intima de se referir a um tipo de superior ou "irmão mais velho") Muito obrigado!

Chimpira medíocre B: De qualquer forma, Aniki. É incrível o que você tem feito ultimamente! Você tem feito um trabalho espetacular desde que voltou!

Kanda: Isso mesmo! Se o assunto é administrar um negócio, pode contar comigo! Estudei muito sobre gestão quando tava na cadeia.

Chimpira medíocre B: Esse é o meu Aniki! Você não é apenas um lutador forte, mas também inteligente!

Kanda: Hahaha! Isso mesmo ~! Se eu continuar com o bom trabalho, em breve serei kumicho!!

Chimpira medíocre A: Aniki! Então eu serei o wakagashira (Capitão), certo!?

Kanda: Idiota! Por que você? Meu braço direito é o Mine. Certo, kyoudai?

Mine: … Hein? Sim. Isso mesmo. …

Kanda: Qual é a treta, Mine? Você não parece bem. Você está se sentindo doente?

Mine: … Não. Não é bem assim, mas… Fiquei me perguntando por que a oposição do sócio adquirente foi mais forte do que eu esperava.

Estamos oferecendo condições ideais e buscando melhorar nossa gestão.

Kanda: Isso é porque você tá fazendo eles trairem seus oya. É uma questão de honra.

Mine: É… honra. Foi o que disse o kaichou Kongo.

Kanda: No mundo da yakuza, a relação entre oya e kodomo (Seus membros ou "filhos") é absoluta. É um vínculo mais forte que o sangue.

Estamos dispostos a desistir de nossas vidas pelo nosso oya. Esse é o nosso modo de vida.

Mine: Você jogaria até sua vida fora?

Kanda: Sim. Mas não se trata apenas de oya e kodomo. Kyoudai também são importantes. Isso significa… você e eu.

Mine: Eh? Kanda-san e… eu?

Kanda: Uhum. Somos kyoudai agora. É por isso, Mine. Quando estiver realmente em perigo…

Você terá que colocar sua vida em risco por mim. OK?

Mine: …

Sim. Claro.

(Hah. Eu, para Kanda-san? Espero que você esteja brincando.)

[FORA]

Mine: (Exatamente como pensei. O prédio é um local muito bom para ser mantido como um escritório de aluguel.)

(O problema é o kumi responsável por isso… Ouvi dizer que a Myogi ikka (Familia Myogi) é um soshiki violento.)

Yakuza: Ei, tu é o Mine da Nishikiyama Gumi, não é?

Mine: … Sim, você é?

Yakuza: Sou membro da Myogi Ikka do grupo Tojo-Rikio kai.

Mine: !

Yakuza: Ouvi dizer que você ta fuçando nosso shima ultimamente. Só porque a Rikio kai é uma organização mais pacífica, não quer dizer q deve ser subestimada.

Não posso simplesmente sentar e deixar você zombar do oya!

Mine: … Tch!

[Mine luta contra eles.]

Mine: Kuh… Quantos desses caras estão aí…

Yakuza: Ce tá indo muito bem, mas ainda não acabou!

Mine: (Droga! Tantos… isso não é bom.)

Yakuza: Aí!… o que tem nessa pasta que você segura com tanto cuidado?

Mine: !

(Não é bom. Este é o pagamento de 50 milhões de ienes que deveria ser entregue ao kumi…)

Yakuza: Manda pra cá e não te mato.

Mine: Infelizmente, isso é muito dinheiro para ser desperdiçado com um bando de bandidinhos como você. Eu não posso te dar isso.

Yakuza: Firmeza.

Então… morra!

[Barulhos de carro.]

Kanda: Mineeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

Mine: O que há com esse carro? Está indo nesta direção…

Kanda: Que porra vocês estão fazendo com meu kyoudai!! Ooooooraaa!!

Mine: Esse é… Kanda-san!?

[Mais ruídos de carro.]

Capanga da Yakuza: Uau! O que há com esse carro!!!!

[Pneus cantando.]

Capanga da Yakuza:: Uau, isso é perigoso… Aaaaah!

[Ele é atropelado pelo carro.]

Kanda: Mine! Ce tá bem?

Mine: … Ka-Ka-Ka… Kanda-san!? O que!?

Kanda: Entre!! Vamo vazar daquii!!

Mine: S-Sim!!

[Mine entra no carro.]

Yakuza: Não deixem fugir! Atiraaaa!!

[Tiros. Pneus cantando.]

[DENTRO DO CARRO]

Kanda: Mine! Você está machucado!?

Mine: N-Não. Obrigado.

Kanda: Ok. Estou feliz. Fiquei noiado porque ce demorou bastante pra voltar…

Mine: (Kanda-san, você realmente arriscou sua vida por mim?)

Kanda: Que foi, Mine. O que você tá olhando?

Mine: Nada. Estou um pouco surpreso. Eu não esperava que Kanda-san viesse.

Kanda: Do que você está falando? Eu te disse. O vínculo entre kyoudai é absoluto.

Mine: !

Kanda: Não sou só conversa, morô?

Mine: Kanda-san… Muito obrigado.

Kanda: … Aí, Mine. Posso te perguntar uma coisa?

Mine: S-Sim?

Kanda: O dinheiro, tá de boa?

Mine: Eh? O dinheiro? Ah sim. O pagamento adiantado. É seguro.

Kanda: Entendo. Estou feliz.

Mine: …

(… Não me diga que você veio me salvar não por minha causa, mas por dinheiro?)

Kanda: N-Não! Eu tava apenas verificando!

Mine: Ha, hah… entendo.

Kanda: A propósito, Mine. Tem algo que tá me incomodando tem um tempo.

Mine: O que seria?

Kanda: Você… Você ainda não me chama de Aniki, né?

Mine: O quê?

Kanda: A-ni-ki… Eu sou seu Aniki, lembra?

Mine: … Ah. Claro. Eu entendo.

… Kanda-no-Aniki.

(Seja por minha causa ou não, tenho certeza de que você está lá para ajudar.)

(Devo uma a Kanda-no-Aniki por hoje.) [Após algum tempo]

[CLUBE]

Subordinado de Kanda A: Aniki, parabéns pela sua nova posição como Capitão!

Kanda: Hahaha! Vocês deveriam me chamar de "Kashira" de agora em diante!

Kobun (Subordinado) de Kanda A: Sim! Kashira!

Kanda: A Nishikiyama gumi está prosperando graças às minhas grandes conquistas. Vocês devem estar felizes por eu estar de volta!

Kobun de Kanda B: Sim! Muito obrigado!

Kanda: Mine, você é o shateigashira (Segundo tenente ou segundo capitão). Isso é uma grande promoção!

Mine: Muito obrigado. Devo tudo a voceKanda-no-Aniki.

Uma hora depois…

Subordinados de Kanda: Guh-…

Kanda: Ah, cara. Eles apagaram.

Mine: … De fato, mesmo eles estando na frente do meu Aniki. Ei!

Kanda: Tá tudo bem, tá tudo bem. Mine: Mas…

Kanda: … Mine, queria falar com você em particular. É bom que ninguém esteja incomodando.

Mine: Eh? Em particular?

Kanda: … Mine. Se não fosse por você, eu ainda seria apenas um simples chimpira.

Estou muito grato a você, você sabe.

Mine: !

… Não. Só fui uma pequena ajuda para você.

Kanda: Kyoudai, você está tão humilde como sempre.

Mas quer saber, Mine? Meu objetivo ainda é maior que isso.

Mine: … Quando você diz superior… você quer dizer a posição de Oyabun da Nishikiyama gumi?

Kanda: Isso é verdade, mas é apenas um trampolim. O que eu realmente pretendo é ainda mais do que isso…

Me tornar o nanadaime (sétimo presidente) da Tojo kai!

Mine: O… Nanadaime??

Kanda: Isso mesmo. Aquele paspalho ingênuo, Daigo Dojima, não tá qualificado para ser o Oyabun da Tojo kai.

Eu sou mais adequado. Você não concorda, Mine?

Mine: … Sim. De fato.

Kanda: Quando eu me tornar oyabun, farei de você o wakagashira!

Somos kyoudai até o fim! To contando com você, Mine!

Mine: Sim. Contarei com você também. Kanda-no-Aniki.

(Kanda-no-Aniki como oyabun… esse é um grande passo a ser dado.)

(Daigo Dojima. Eu ia descobrir que tipo de homem ele é…)

(Kyoudai para o resto da vida…)

(Devo apenas seguir esse cara?)

Inimigo Yakuza: Kanda! Mine!! Kanda: O quê, seus filhos da puta!?

Mine: Estes devem ser os yakuza que perderam seu território para nós.

Kanda: Entendo. Vocês, peixinhos, nunca aprendem a lição. Mine, fique para trás. Eu vou acabar com esses caras!

[Kanda bate neles.]

Inimigo Yakuza: Uh, uuh…

Kanda: Hahaha! Você achou que um peixinho de merda seria páreo para Kanda-sama!?

Kobun de Kanda: Esse é o meu Aniki! Você é o melhor lutador do mundo!!

Kanda: Mine ! Não pense apenas em administrar um negócio, você também precisa melhorar suas habilidades de luta!

Mine: … Sim. Eu farei o meu melhor.

[Ao mesmo tempo, no escritório da família Nishikiyama…]

Membro da Nishikiyama gumi: …Tudo bem? Aquele bastardo do Kanda parece estar se deixando levar.

Daigyo: Claro que não. Foi você quem perdeu a posição de Kashira para aquele cara.

Membro da Nishikiyama gumi: Não sou só eu. Daigyo, ce também tá em perigo. Os negócios desse cara ultimamente têm sido brutais.

Se não fizermos algo, ele realmente se tornará o Oyabun…

Daigyo: Ei, ei, você deve estar brincando! Você tem ideia de quantos anos trabalho para esse kumi?!

Membro da Nishikiyama gumi: Isso é verdade…

Daigyo: Eu digo que é melhor fazermos algo sobre isso enquanto ainda podemos…

Alguns dias depois…

[ESCRITÓRIO DA FAMÍLIA NISHIKIYAMA]

Mine: O quê? Dojima Oyabun? Ele quer me ver?

Kanda: Sim. Ele quer falar com você pessoalmente.

Mine: O que diabos… sobre o quê, eu me pergunto?

Kanda: Broncas e broncas.

Também fui chamado outro dia e fui repreendido pela maneira como tenho causado problemas em Kamurocho ultimamente.

Mine: (não esperava que a oportunidade chegasse tão cedo.)

Mas por que ele quer falar comigo pessoalmente, qual o sentido disso?

Por que ele simplesmente não avisa voce, Kanda-no-Aniki, isso não deveria ser suficiente?

Kanda: Hum. Não sei, mas ele está curioso sobre sua formação, parece que quer falar sobre algo assim.

Mine: … Minha formação? É assim mesmo. Eu entendo.

(Daigo Dojima. Finalmente chegou a hora…)
