#like I try to care about these stories for Arthur ao he has something to talk to me about

[whereisthedamndaddymanual]

My darling little one who has some song that said you keep a place in my heart (True as fuck by the way)

I am aware you control the flow of people in and out of that place.

Calling me a music director or was it an activity coordinator

That's kinda fucked up.

Yes yes the maintenance man. If the door stays open cedar and death so help me..

Cedar and Death

[trek-tracks]

An AOS AU story concept:

Jim gets mad at how blasé Bones is about Jim's failure at the Kobayshi Maru; Bones knows it's unwinnable, so he doesn't care that much, and doesn’t think Jim should, either. 

Jim says, "why don't you take it and see how it feels to lose everything?" 

Bones, fed up with Jim's mood, and especially that jab - "Kid, you don’t think I know what it's like to lose everything already?" - agrees to take it, if he’s allowed. It’s highly unusual, but Jim manages to convince Pike somehow. 

In the first recorded instance in Starfleet history, Bones somehow manages to beat the test without cheating. It’s something out of The Sword in the Stone, with King Arthur anointing himself by casually pulling out the legendary sword that the strongest men couldn’t move. Everyone is flabbergasted. Jim doesn't know what to do with himself.

Fifteen Starfleet psychologists descend on Bones en masse, trying to find out his secret. He's being cajoled into joining command track - something he doesn't want at all - and is the talk of campus. Jim is losing his mind, partly out of jealousy, partly out of fear that Bones will have his own ship and if Jim wants to be a captain, he'll have to move on by himself.

Jim’s problem resolves itself neatly when it’s finally discovered what happened. Yes, Bones has a unique blend of brilliance, compassion, self-sacrifice, complete lack of ego, and complete apathy towards the test itself. But that’s not why the test seemingly rolled over for him, like a particularly obedient dog begging for Starfleet Snacks.

It’s because Bones asked a simple question during the test. “Call Starfleet Command,” he says. “Ask them what the hell a civilian freighter is doing in the Neutral Zone in the first place.”

You see, when Spock programmed the test, he anticipated hundreds of ways that cadets would desperately try to save the Kobayashi Maru, and then their own skins. Every other cadet just immediately started in on the strategy.

He didn’t expect someone to question why the ship was there. It wasn’t logical. The parameters of the test were clear. The ship is there, and you must save it. To inquire about its backstory would be a waste of time, irrelevant.

But Bones is a diagnostician, with a serious lack of patience for unreasonable authority. So he wanted to know: who the hell thought this was a good idea in the first place? If he’s going to go down, he might as well know, and expose some greater issues with the Powers that Be, and the concept of the Neutral Zone itself.

Spock’s program couldn’t deal with that, and like every self-respecting Star Trek computer when faced with an illogical action, promptly unravelled, allowing Bones to beat the test relatively easily while the program stalled.

Bones is no longer being courted to the Command track. Jim practically cracks a rib laughing, and apologizes for being insufferable. Pike secretly sends over a bottle of good bourbon, which Jim and Bones share, as Bones promises he’ll serve on Jim’s ship eventually, having no desire for one of his own. And Spock, thoroughly embarrassed (though he’d never admit to it), and having started the proceedings to bring Bones up on tribunal before the flaw in his program was discovered, begins a longstanding rivalry with the doctor he can’t quite decide whether or not to grudgingly respect.

1+2p Hetalia High {Ch.1}

(Kat)

tHIS HAS 119 CHAPTERS.

199.

AM I GOING TO REVIEW EVERY ONE OF THEM? YES SIREE BOB. 

OH LORD.

Buckle up my children, we’re in for a wild ride and a brand new adventure.

Note: The full title of this story is “1p and 2p HetaliaxReader High school just got weirder” but since I don’t want to put that as my title, I’m just putting it as whatever I decided to put because at the moment of typing this I’m still not sure. 

I’m not sure how to feel about this. But here we go.

Also, this is a reader insert, so I’ll be putting ‘Kat’ when ‘y/n’ appears.

{Kat}'s POV

I woke up to my alarm blaring a familiar song. It was the F/A (Favorite Anime) opening. 

Coincidentally, I have the Ao no Exorcist opening set as my alarm right now. So I guess this fits?

It was impossible not to get up hearing that awesome song.

But also I must note that I do have to change my alarm every so often or I will have to resist the urge to smash my phone.

 I let it play while I got dressed. I picked out a S/F/C (Second favorite color) t-shirt, a F/C hoodie, black jeans, and some sneakers. 

Okay, a purple hoodie, which I don’t own, and a yellow shirt?

Ew.

Kill me.

If anyone sees me in real life in public dressed like that, you have full permission to assassinate me.

I took my headphones and phone and put them in my F/C backpack.

I have an Attack on Titan backpack.

We’re off to a fantastic start.

 I grabbed a piece of toast and ran out the door locking it behind me. "I'm gonna be late!" I said copying every slice of life anime ever. I eventually just started walking and ate my toast. I finished my toast and put on my headphones. I listened to some music as I walked to school. My name is {Kat} I'm 16 

Uh. I am 16. That much is true.

(Go with it) and go to Gakko (If you get it i'll give you a cookie :3) high school. 

Hi, my name is Kat, I’m 16, and I go to School High School. 

I've lived alone in my own house since my parents died and my Aunt decided that I could live in alone if I wanted to. She payed for the house and anything I needed.

That’s one nice aunt.

 She also gave me a card in case I wanted snacks or to go shopping. My Aunt was loaded so she didn't really care how much I spent. 

What, does she just have unlimited money? 

How convenient for me.

I walked up the steps of my high school. I wouldn't say that i'm a nerd or a geek

Bet.

 but I don't have many friends. It's not that i'm anti-social. 

I am.

I’m already losing my mind.

I'm just really picky I guess. I took off my headphones and walked into my classroom. I sat in my seat next to the window. I laughed as I remembered how I picked this seat to be like an anime character.

In my school, there is a thing called seating charts. 

Do they just not exist here?

 I put my bag on the ground and stared out the window. "Good morning class! Today we'll be introducing some new students." Ms. Drew chirped. I didn't really care so I continued to stare out the window. "Please introduce yourselves!" asked. "I'M ALFRED F. JONES! AND I'M THE HERO!" the person introduced. 

I would probably start cringing my face off if some new student just shouted that. 

I instantly turned my heads towards the loud voice. He has the same name and called himself the hero. It has to be him. My eyes widened in shock as I saw the blonde haired blue eyed person I watched on my laptop. ({Kat} is not a stalker I promise) It was America. From Hetalia. It wasn't just him. I saw the allies standing in the front of the classroom.

"Holy shit." I whispered. "Thank you for that Alfred. Now how about the rest of you?" said looking at the allies. "I'm Wang Yao from China." Yao said. "I'm Francis Bonnefoy from France." Francis said with a wink that made the girls in the class squeal. "I'm Arthur Kirkland from England." said Arthur also making the girls squeal with his accent. "I'm-" the boy was cut off. "I'm Ivan Braginski. Become one?" Ivan said with a smile and a purple aura. 

Which I can see in the normal world apparently. Clara, hand me my sonic, I think something is off here.

The rest of the students got scared. "Okay everyone done? Go-" was cut off by me. "Ms. Drew that boy didn't finish!" I said knowing that Canada had been cut off. I seemed to be the only who noticed. "Oh! I'm sorry I didn't see him! Please introduce yourself." Ms. Drew said staring at Canada. "T-Thank you. I'm Matthew Williams from Canada." Matthew said quietly. No one but me seemed to notice he said anything. "Okay! Please take your seats next to {Kat}! {Kat} raise your hand." 

They all sit next to me now? 

I’m just going to imagine them all sitting in one desk.

Ms. Drew said. I raised my hand. They can't possibly be the characters from Hetalia. Right? I've read fanfictions about this happening but I never thought it would! 

They all sat down. Matthew sat in the seat next to me. Ivan sat on top of him. 

This is going to be full of this sort of thing, isn’t it?

Matthew tried to tell him he was there but Ivan couldn't hear him. "Ivan could you get off of Matthew?" I said nicely. "Who is that?" Ivan said confused. "Just pick another seat please." I said. Ivan got off of Matthew and sat in the seat in front of me. "T-Thank you for helping me." Matthew said quietly to me. "No problem!" 

Ah yes, here we see the classic ‘reader-chan can see Canada’ trope. 

I’m having flashbacks to Kidnapped by Sexy Men.

I said. Francis sat behind me and Arthur sat next to him. Alfred sat next to Matthew. The teacher began the lesson. I took out my things and wrote down the notes on the board. I felt a tap from behind me. I turned around to see Francis "Do you have a pencil I could borrow?" Francis asked. I nodded and handed him one. "It doesn't work." Francis said. "Yes it does." I said confused. "Really? Try writing your number then." Francis said with a wink. The girls heard this and gave a glare towards me.

That was actually pretty smooth. 

"No thanks." I said turning back around. I wrote down the rest of the notes as Ms. Drew wrote them. Finally, the bell rang. I packed up my stuff and headed to my next class. Suddenly someone grabbed my wrist. "Could you show me where my class is?" Ivan asked. "Sure! What class is it?" I asked smiling. Ivan seemed a little taken back. "Art." Ivan said with the slightest of blushes. "I have that next too! Just follow me!" 

Well, coincidentally, I am taking an art class this year. 

I said. Ivan let go of my wrist and followed me. I walked into class and put my bag down. I walked to my easel and stood in front of it. "We have some new students class." Mr. Percy stated. I looked to the front of my classroom. "Holy shit." I said for the second time. Standing in the front of the classroom were the axis. 

"Please introduce yourselves." Mr. Percy said. "I am Ludwig Beilschmidt from Germany." Ludwig said. "I am Honda Kiku from Japan." Japan said bowing. "Ciao!~ I'm Feliciano Vargas from Italy!" Feliciano said with his eyes closed. "I AM ZHE AWESOME GILBERT BEILSCHMIDT FROM PRUSSIA!" 

I’d honestly like to know why School High School has like forty foreign exchange students.

Gilbert yelled. Around me I heard people ask where Prussia was. 

Nowhere. It was dissolved in 1947.

Gilbert frowned slightly. "Prussia is the most awesome country in the world." I stated getting odd stares from my classmates.

It is part of Germany now.

 "SHE GET'S IT!"

Gets*

‘Gets’ isn’t a possessive verb.

 Gilbert said yelling and smiling again. "Shut up you idiota! I'm Lovino Vargas from Italy."

 Lovino said mad. "Please put your bags down and pick an easel." Mr. Percy said. They all put their bags in the pile and took an easel. 

Why do we have a pile of bags? That’s strange.

Feliciano was on my right and Kiku was on my left. Lovino was in front of me and Gilbert was behind me. Ludwig was next to Gilbert.

Nice. I get the two best artists.

Also, what happened to Russia? Did he just leave?

"Okay free draw and paint time. Do whatever you want." Mr. Percy said sitting at his desk. 

Wow, what a bad teacher.

I decided to draw F/A/C (Favorite Anime Character). 

Um. I think that would have to be Riza Hawkeye from Fullmetal Alchemist or possibly Lucy Heartfilia.

I’ve drawn Lucy before, but never Lieutenant Hawkeye. 

So I guess I’m drawing her?

I started to draw the character as Kiku peeked at my drawing. His eyes widened as I drew. I finished the character and carefully started to color it in. Kiku seemed very interested in it. I finished coloring and Kiku spoke up "Is that F/A/C!?" Kiku asked eyes sparkling. "Yea it's my favorite anime character." I said. "You rike anime?"

  W R I T T E N   A C C E N T S

Kiku asked. "Yea. I'm an otaku actually." I said smiling. "We have a rot to tark about then." 

sTOP

Kiku said going back to drawing. Since I was finished I walked around looking at people's drawings. I looked at Lovino's easel. He drew a box of tomatoes. "I like your drawing." I said sneaking up on him. He yelped and jumped a little. "God damn ragazza! 

Just call me ‘girl’ instead of my name.

You scared the shit out of me!" Lovino said angry. "So you like tomatoes?" I asked already knowing the answer. "No shit Sherlock." Lovino said. I disregarded what he said "You're a good artist." I said still looking at his drawing. Lovino blushed a little and I saw his curl turn into a heart for a split second. 

That isn’t physically possible.

"I-I know! I don't need an idiot ragazza like you to tell me!" Lovino said blushing still. I laughed and smiled at him. He did look like a tomato, just like Spain said. He's such a tsundere! I walked back to my easel. "Ciao ragazza!~ I'm sorry about Lovi being mean. He's really a nice guy!" 

Oh gee, I couldn’t tell.

Feliciano said. "It's okay. I didn't take any offense." I said smiling. Feliciano looked at me and his curl also turned into a heart for a second. 

Oh boy, this story is full of physical impossibilities.

"Your smile is very pretty bella.~" Feliciano stated. "Thanks Feliciano!" I said having the faintest of blushes. "You can just call me Feli bella.~" Feliciano said with a wink.

Hi, Feli bella.

The bell rang and I grabbed my bag. We all left the drawings on the easels. Next I had P.E. 

Ew.

I went into the locker room and got changed into my P.E. clothes. The P.E uniform was a basic grey shirt and pink shorts for the girls. The boys had grey shirts and blue shorts. 

That’s kind of sexist.

All of the clothes had our names written on them. I'm pretty fit if I do say so myself. My motto is "When you can run like Italy you can eat like America."

No comment.

I put my bag in my locker and walked into the gym. Some people were playing basketball and some were sitting on the bleachers and talking. I saw Ludwig standing awkwardly not sure of what to do. 

I relate.

I noticed that the rest of the axis weren't in this class. 'He must be lonely.' I thought. I walked over to Ludwig. "Hey! Your Ludwig right? I'm {Kat}! I'm in your art class!" I said smiling. "Uh...Hallo." Ludwig said holding something behind his back. "What are you holding?" I asked. "Nothing." Ludwig said quickly. "Oh okay." I said pretending not to care. I grabbed the thing out of his hands "Got it!" I said triumphantly. I saw what he had been holding. "Is this a book about how to make friends?" I asked looking at the book. Ludwig blushed profusely "N-Nein." Ludwig lied. "You don't need this." I said throwing the book in the trash. I walked back next to him 

"Now. Let's go play some basketball." I said still smiling. Ludwig blushed more. I grabbed his hand and pulled him over to where the net was. I grabbed a basketball and threw it at the basket. It hit the rim then bounced off and hit my face. "GAH-" I said as the ball hit my face making me fall backwards. "Frau! Are jou okay?" 

Why does everyone address me by my gender?

Ludwig said kneeling down next to me. "I'm fine! Just a bruise!" I said with a small smile. Ludwig sighed "Good. Don't do zhat again." Ludwig said. The bell rang, I said goodbye to Ludwig.

Well, gee, Ludwig, I can’t control gravity.

I went back into the locker room and got changed. I got my backpack from my locker and headed to lunch. I usually sat alone so I took out my headphones. I headed over to the table I always sat at. I put on the delicious tomato song since it seemed fitting. I had learned all of the lyrics of the hetalia character songs. That can happen when you listen to things for a long time. I took out my lunch from my backpack. It was F/L (Favorite Lunch).

Um. I don’t really have one of those.

 I was singing along to the song and eating my lunch when my headphones were taken off my head. 

How can I simultaneously eat and sing?

I looked up to see Lovino shoving something in my face looking away. "Uh...What are you doing?" I asked. He looked towards me with a pout. "I'm giving you a tomato!" Lovino said angrily. "Just take the damn thing before I change my mind!"

Um.

Thanks?

 Lovino said shoving closer to my face. I took the tomato and smiled "Grazie per la Lovino pomodoro!" (Thanks for the tomato Lovino!) 

I actually do know what that means without the translation.

I said. Lovino looked shocked. "You know Italian!?" Lovino asked surprised. "Yea! I took it for my first language class." 

No, I’m taking Spanish.

I said. Feliciano glomped his brother "There you are fratello! (Brother) I was looking for you!" Feliciano said still hugging his brother. "Get the hell off me veneziano!" Lovino said pushing Feli off. "Oh hey {Kat}! Why are you sitting at by yourself?" 

I don’t know, because I want to?

Feliciano asked. "I don't really have anyone to sit with." I said honestly. "You can sit with us!" Feliciano said excited. "Okay let me get my stuff." I said grabbing my bag and lunch. I followed them to their table. "Holy shit…" I said for the third time. Not only were the axis sitting there. Spain was also sitting at the table. "Hola chica!" Spain said. "Hello. I'm {Kat}!" I said holding my hand out. He shook it and said "I'm Antonio!" with a smile. Lovino glared at him.

Why does Romano care?

Is he already in love with me?

I sat down and put my lunch on the table. Feliciano and Lovino sat with me in the middle. I saw Feliciano was eating pasta and that Lovino was eating pizza. Gilbert and Ludwig were eating wurst, Kiku was eating from a bento box, and Spain was eating tomatoes. 

Just eating tomatoes for lunch doesn’t sound very filling.

"Bella do you want to try some of my pasta?" Feliciano asked. "No. She wants to try some of my pizza!" 

Um. 

Romano yelled at his brother. "It's okay guys i'm good." I said not being heard over them arguing. Kiku sensed the mood and refrained from speaking. 

Why didn’t he intervene????

Feliciano and Lovino fought with Feli's plate of pasta. Someone came by and bumped them making the pasta spill all over me. "Bella i'm so sorry!" Felciano apologized. "Shit!" Lovino said. "It's okay guys i'll just clean up in the bathroom." 

Wow guys.

Just wow.

I said standing up. I walked to the bathroom and cleaned up. I came back without my hoodie. "Okay that's better." I put my hoodie in my backpack. I realized that Feliciano won't have lunch now because it's on the floor. "Oh...Feli do you want some of my lunch?" I asked. Feliciano lit up "Sure! Gratzi {Kat}!~" Feliciano said. We shared a lunch until it was all gone. The bell rang and I said goodbye to the axis plus Spain. I headed to my next class.

This is really weird.

Just really really weird.

Okay. 

Yeah, this is definately something I’m going to continue to review. 

I’ll see you guys later!

Latest story from https://movietvtechgeeks.com/marvel-roundup-inhumans-spider-man-homecoming-plus-size-thor/

Marvel Roundup: Inhumans, 'Spider-Man: Homecoming' and plus size Thor

Inhumans Trailer The Inhumans trailer is out. It does look as much as we can expect from an upcoming TV series except that the production has been upped a bit for theatrical release. I fondly remember the old Flash pilot starring John Wesley Shipp where at first I easily confused it for a movie, later to find out that it was the pilot for the first Flash TV series. It’s still a watchable TV film. The Inhumans trailer feels the same way only much clearer considering it’s hi-def and made for IMAX. The trailer is mostly narrated by the Inhuman Maximus the Mad, brother to the Inhuman king Black Bolt, talking about the threat the humans pose to their society currently on the moon. Maximus is basically making a speech to rouse a rebellion against his brother which basically leads to Lockjaw taking Black Bolt to Earth. We can expect a fish-out-of-water start to the series as to how Black Bolt and Lockjaw try to adapt. So it’s a series that focuses more on the Inhuman royal family and perhaps the first generation, so it makes sense not to show Daisy “Quake” Johnson for now, but hopefully, she and the cast of AOS will appear later on in the series. Sadly though, Medusa really doesn’t seem to look like much here, as she looks the same as the earlier released photos. She looks pretty cheap, and the others don’t have the same cinematic feel as the Asgardians in the Thor films, but I guess we’ll find out how the series is when it’s finally shown this September. Something to keep us busy between Spider-Man: Homecoming and Thor: Ragnarok. Plus-size Thor Speaking of Thor, in the comics, Marvel has recently added another political representative to its ever-expanding universe. We now have a plus-sized Thor who will be called War Thor. This is from the pages of The Mighty Thor number 20 which comics fans should pick up. So Marvel now has Jane Foster Thor, Odinson: The Unworthy Thor and now War Thor. In the comics, Odinson was made unworthy to pick up Mjolnir, and the hammer was later picked up by a cancer-ridden Jane Foster. Odinson discovers the existence of the Mjolnir from the defunct Ultimate Universe but decides not to take it. SPOILER ALERT! Skip the next paragraph if you’re the type. Meanwhile, Volstagg of the Warriors Three is on a mercy mission to help refugee elves in one of the nine realms (now ten, including Angela’s Heven). The refugee camp comes under attack from fire demons and everyone, including some children that came under his care are incinerated. Formerly a character for comic relief, Volstagg is known as a family man who is close to children. What happened in his mission has changed him, and gave him a more serious and somber tone. He decides to go after the Ultimate Mjolnir, a hammer that can kill anyone unworthy who tries to pick it up, and is deemed worthy. Volstagg becomes the new Ultimate Thor, aka the War Thor. Spider-Man: Homecoming The early reviews are out, and guess what? Spider-Man: Homecoming has a 93% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It should probably come as no surprise considering the quality of most MCU films. This one, however, is produced by Sony under Marvel’s guidance. Hopefully, Sony and Fox change their tune should this film become a huge box office success. This is the character’s first solo film in the MCU, well, not exactly solo as Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man plays a big part. As of this writing, the 90 percent comes from 37 out of 41 reviews by film critics. “Tom Holland is the best movie Spider-Man ever. He finds the kid inside the famous red onesie and brings out the kid in even the most hardened filmgoer.” -- Peter Travers, Rolling Stone “You know what? Superhero cynicism aside, "Spider-Man: Homecoming" is really fun.” -- Lindsay Bahr, Associated Press “It's pure exhilaration to watch this new, pitch-perfect version of the iconic hero swing high above the New York City streets, and if the movie's forthcoming sequels are as fun as this, Marvel Studios can keep 'em coming.” -- Bernard Boo, PopMatters And as for Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr. recently expressed that he’ll be continuing his role as Iron Man as long as he finds the scripts handed to him to be worthy. Guess that statement means that he’ll live through both Avengers: Infinity War films and we might get to see him in an Iron Man 4 film. Hopefully so and in that film, he can truly cap off his saga by facing the true Mandarin, still in the form of Trevor Slattery but taken over by the spirit of the villain. Captain Britain Also, there’s talk of bringing Captain Britain, Brian Braddock into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He is much like Captain America sans the shield and super soldier serum. He instead gets his powers from mystical sources, however, tied into the overdone King Arthur/Merlin legend. Kevin Feige spoke that bringing the character over was discussed but still in the back burner, perhaps in Phase 4 or 5 and that several actors have already offered their services. Taron Egerton perhaps? Things could still change given the Inhumans were bumped off Phase 3. Technically they’re still in it through their cinematic IMAX release.

Dazai: "And you." atsushi: ??? me? what makes you think that? Dazai: "There is no reason the orphanage would remove _only_ you...not without a better reason than saving money...They knew what you are..." atsushi: ....*chuckle* are saying im some kind of were tiger? that's just ridiculous!

Dazai: "I was trying to commit suicide." atsushi: um...why? O_O; i-if you dont mind me asking. (thinking: what happened to him to make him like this?) Dazai: "Well, I heard of this technique, and I wanted to try it!" *grimaces* "But it hurts." atsushi: that...doesnt exactly answer my question. -_-; so, where is this place we're going? Dazai: "I was thinking about giving you a job today." atsushi: i see. im guessing something in the agency? Dazai: "See? You're detecting already!

Bomber: "...What do you know about them?" atsushi: nothing, im just a regular newspaper boy trying to make his way through life. sure, there's some bad people in the world with dangerous abilities like nofix or tropius gearhead, but just cause there is a few bad eggs in the bunch doesnt mean the whole carton is spoiled! so lets just talk this over and it'll be just fine, ok? Bomber: "..." *sweats, nervous smile* ("What the heck is with this kid?")

Yumi: "What did these spots have in common provoking such attacks?" dwma agent: maybe it's just random terrorist attacks? but who could be doing it? kishin worshipers? Yumi: "Or someone with explosive abilities? Quirks? Dokeshi?" agent 2: who knows. we're still looking into it. it could be a rogue flame human like that joker fella... Yumi: *nods* "Contact Fire Brigades as well: they may have found evidence when responding to explosions." agent 2: right. -days later- Kunikida: "??? Brat..." atsushi: yes sir? also i do have a name. Kunikida: *shoves a stack of books at him* "File these. You've given us enough work..." atsushi: um, right. *sweatdrop* Kunikida: "And go check on our resident medic." atsushi: *nods* ok then.

Yosano: "...Have to be sure--" *pulls up his pant leg* -yep, his leg is right there.- atsushi: this feels awkward! Yosano: ("No scar...This is less regeneration and more reversion.")

Higan: "???" tsubaki: we got called to a mission. higan, you and otogiri are in charge until we get back. otogiri: understood. Sakuya: "Where you going?" tsubaki: belmont district. i think we found a lost subclass. lets just hope we can talk to them before C3 does... Sakuya: *nods* "Lead the way..." tsubaki: it'll be dangerous. Higan: "Maybe I should go." tsubaki:...good plan. *looks at black*star* lets go. lavender: hey, get back safely, all of you, ok? Black Star: "Jeez..." misono: *looking at a layout of the plaza* alright, we've determined the stray's location someplace in the food court area, most of the civilians escaped, but there are a few hostages. mahiru: ... Sakuya: "Need a distraction..." mahiru: !!! sakuya! w-when did you- tsubaki: sakuya?! Sakuya: "...What? I thought I would go along." mahiru: we got your back. *pats sakuya's shoulder* Sakuya: "Thanks..." *stares at the stray from afar* ("Do I know them...?") -the stray is unfamiliar, but it is one of mr tsubaki's subclass- Sakuya: "...You...Who are you?" Stray: *growl* tsubaki: it's alright, we dont want to hurt you. Stray: *stares at Tsubaki* "..." tsubaki: *smiles* we can help you, if you'll let us. Stray: "..." *approaches* tsubaki: see? it's ok. *extends a hand* Stray: "..." *holds out a hand...* tsubaki: there you go- -SHRK- tsubaki: !!! Tsurugi: "Hee hee...Sorry. Would've been here sooner." yumikage: dammit tsurugi, now's not the time for dawdling! tsubaki: ?! yumikage: *looks at the stray* so you're the one causing trouble...hey nakatsukasa, no hard feelings, but we got this one...tsurugi, you know what to do! mahiru: !!! kuro...those are- Tsurugi: "Roger!" *starts to run forward* Kuro: "!!!" misono: C3's mad dog trio...shinoa told me about them. yumikage: dont flatter yourself sloth, we're here for the stray.

You, go home." tsubaki: please, we dont want any trouble! stray: tsubaki.....where is he?! tsubaki:..... stray: tch-...if you wont answer me, then i'll just drain you dry! *lunges at her* tsubaki: !!!! *BOOM BOOM BOOM* stray: ?! yumikage: good job, jun! Jun: "Trapped." yumikage: *takes aim with his rifle* tsubaki: STOP IT! *shoves yumikage, causing the bullet to hit the water sprinkler* yumikage: !! damn, you really want to protect that guy, eh? stray: *smirks and slashes tsurugi* yumikage: TSURUGI!! Tsurugi: "Ah!" *falls backwards* "Rotten luck!" stray: c3's hunting dogs, eh? the hell would elites like you guys want with a rotten nobody like me? now the redhead over there is a real prize, he's melancholy's number 2 in terms of power. yumikage: yeah, but the thing is we have an agreement with miss ponytail that we're not allowed to touch him or the subclass in her care. Higan: *glares at the Stray* "Turn-coat..." stray: oh? what? not fond of being betrayed? like our master abandoned us? tsubaki: you're wrong! stray: HAHAHA! DONT MAKE ME LAUGH, SHITTY HUMAN! Sakuya: "You better watch your mouth. We came here to save you--and you're going to turn away from us, your fellow subclasses? Mr. Tsubaki--" stray: IS A FUCKING COWARD WHO RUNS AT THE FIRST SIGHT OF TROUBLE! JUST LIKE HE RAN AWAY FROM THAT DEMON, TSURUGI KAMIYA! Tsurugi: "...Say that a bit louder..." stray: DEMON! HE'S A DEMON!

Tsurugi: "...But I wasn't finished--" ???: tsurugi, i'll give you 25 dollars to stop. Tsurugi: "DEAL!" mahiru: that easily?! ??: seems we meet again, mahiru shirota. for those unaware allow me to explain. Black Star: "The hell are you?!" -the man adjusts his glasses shuuhei: my name is Shuuhei Tsuyuki, deputy director of the death city branch of the neutral organization, C3, its 3rd officer, and acting leader of all parties involved today. we've taken control of the situation, and once we have the stray in detainment we will take our leave. yumikage: tch-, who died and made him king? we're older than you by 4 years. and what the hell is with that long ass title?! Black Star: "You ain't taking no one with you!" -a dark cage surrounds the group- tsubaki: ??! shuuhei: worry not, we have no intentions of killing you or the subclass in your custody, miss nakatsukasa. mahiru: you're the same guys who attacked kuro that one time! just who even are you three?? Kuro: *glares* "You should leave..." *approaches Shuuhei...* mahiru: mad dog trio....just who are you? Tsurugi: *looking at his $25.00* "Just some folks with the same goals as you..." jun: if it's possible, maybe we can cooperate? tsubaki: *tense* yumikage: ....tch-. Kuro: "...Mahiru...I'm not sure we can stand against them...not right now." shuuhei: with that out of the way, we'll take the stray into detainment for questioning, and as per our agreement, the other melancholy subclass present will be left in your care. mahiru: ... misono: ....we'll consider your offer of an allience. tsubaki: on one condition. you wont harm them. stray: tch-...this is your fault you know..if you just stayed out of the way, this wouldnt be happening! tsubaki:....*looks down* Higan: "We were trying to keep you out of this fighting..." -later that day- tsubaki: ...... lavender: you think she'll be alright? Black Star: "...I don't know. C3 keeps intimidating everyone..." naho: hmmm hey! maybe misono's girlfriend knows something! she's kinda in c3...i think. Sakuya: "Worth a try..." *pulls out phone* -the house phone rings- otogiri: yes?......understood.....tsubaki, misono called. there's a meeting at mahiru's apartment. tsubaki: ah. otogiri: it's not right now, it's this weekend. Sakuya: "That's quite a wait...Who knows what they could do to that stray..." tsubaki: .... -days later- Lily: "Welcome...I'm sorry we can't meet under better circumstances." tsubaki: it's understandable. *looks out the window, it's pouring rain* Kuro: *hiding under a blanket in cat form* misono: right, the first order of buisness, the mad dog trio. Tsurugi Kamiya, Yumikage Tsukimitsu, and Junichiro Kurumamori. given our encounters with C3 in the past, working with them might seem like an idiotic idea. but given statistics, they have more resources, more firepower, and possibly more knowledge than we do. shinoa and her friends have been a huge help, but they arent official C3 members, so there's still some things they dont know. tetsu: i remember yumikage, i knew him in elementry school. mahiru: (thinking: was that guy a teacher? he seemed to be a lot older than tetsu...) -knocking- misono: ?? *checks the peephole* shinoa: helloooo? anyone home? misono: O////O s-s-shinoa?! shinoa: hi misono, mind if i come in? Kuro: *peeks under blanket* "Oh. More people." tsubaki: oh, miss shinoa, what brings you here? shinoa: well, C3's gone into overdrive with busy stuff, and i heard some interesting news i thought i'd share with you. mahiru: like what? shinoa: do you want the good news or the bad news first? Kuro: "...This can't be good." shinoa: well, im not sure if it's _good_ news, but the mad dog trio has been given a new task; they'll be your bodyguards from this point forwards. mahiru: what?! misono: seriously?! shinoa: *she nods* Kuro: "...If that's good news, I'm not happy with bad news." Black Star: "We're supposed to accept their help?!" shinoa: sadly, there's no changing it now. mahiru: if that's the case, and if we do have the same goal, then we may as well. shinoa: and now for the bad news...we know what C3 is doing with jinn. turns out, they arent eliminating it....they're stockpi- -knocks on the door- Lawless: *in hedgehog form atop Licht's head* licht: so much rain, an angel cant fly in weather like this... Black Star: "??? You two are here?" mahiru: oh, hey guys. shinoa's here, and we kiiinda have some stuff to explain Lawless: *sits up* "What's going on?" licht: im hungry, make me some honey toast and melon. mahiru: we arent a restaurant! tsubaki: how've you been since the incident? licht: alright. i am an angel after all. tsubaki: and what about you lawless? you did lose a lot of jinn... mahiru: has it been affecting you at all? licht: *grooans* oh has it ever. please just dont get him started... Lawless: "...My healing..." tsubaki: ?? *worried* Lawless: "I-I can't heal like before..." tsubaki: lawless... Lawless: "Something isn't right...I don't even feel like...myself. My name..." licht: hyde... Lawless: "...I don't even feel like that is my name...I don't respond to it like I used to." licht:... *gives him a new dogtag* here, accept it hyde. Lawless: "..." *listlessly picks it up, tries to read the name on it* -hyde- Lawless: "..." *listlessly picks it up, tries to read the name on it* -hyde- licht:.... *pulls hoodie down a bit* the contract needs blood, right? so drink up.. Hyde: "..." *sniff* TT~TT "I-I don't know who I am..." tsubaki:....*pats his back* its ok... Hyde: "..." *cautiously approaches Licht's neck* Hyde: *small bite* licht: nng... *light wince* mahiru:...do you...need a moment? Hyde: *breathing relaxes...he remembers...* licht:...?? Hyde: " 'Hyde'..." licht: *he nods* {ophelia: my romeo...} Hyde: "My Juliet..." licht: ?? Hyde: *sobbing* licht: !!....*awkward hug* Hyde: *clutches Licht* "L-Lost..." -moments later, after hyde calmed down.- shinoa: and that's basically what's been happening as of late. mahiru: your thoughts law-er, hyde? Hyde: "...Why should we? Is C3 really holding onto...what did you call it?" shinoa: jinn. misono: you seriously dont know that?! licht:....!!! a fallen angel! mahiru: ?? *looks out the window to see tsurugi there, surrounded by crows* GAAAAAHHH!!!! misono: WHAT THE EVERLOVING HELL?! tsubaki: ah! shinoa: ah, seems they've arrived. i guess i made good time then, oho~ Kuro: "How did they find us...?" Hyde: *hedgehog form, hides behind Licht* shinoa: they arent here to hurt you. it's like i said, they've been hired to protect you. tsurugi: *blows against glass and writes* 'lemme in, its soaking wet' Kuro: "...You letting them in? Also, where do you keep your sharp knives?" -BANG on the door- yumikage: oooi! is tsurugi in there?! Tsurugi: *shivers* tsubaki: *opens the sliding glass door while mahiru opens the front door* yumikage: dammit tsurugi how many times do i have to tell you not to play with crows while wearing a knit scarf?! IT'LL GET FRAYED! Tsurugi: "I get to do what I want!" *a crow is pecking at his head* tsubaki: *has gotten him a towel* yumikage: still, jeez. and dont go running off like that, jun and i were worried sick! Tsurugi: "D'aw, you do care!" *smirks* Black Star: *glare* mahiru: what brings you guys here? yumikage: pack up your stuff, we're taking you in with us. mahiru: eh? misono: ?! yumikage: as of current, sloth is the only servamp in the area that's still 'intact'. it would be best interest to keep him and his eve protected. mahiru: but what about my uncle?- yumikage: we'll just tell him you've been enlisted into summer camp! shinoa: wrath and gluttony have been contacted as well. Hyde: *glaring at them* Jun: "Hello...Tsurugi, behave, or your last pay will be shoved so far up your--" mafura: *peeeeeek* yumikage: -_-; as if babysitting ONE grown adult wasnt hard enough... mahiru:....*blink*... who is that? Tsurugi: "Someone we brought with us." Kuro: "..." mafura: ^^ are you sleepy ash? mafura-chan's happy to meet you! Kuro: "...Who is Mafura?" yumikage: she's mafura....she has....issues. like tsurugi level of issues. mahiru: she speaks in 3rd person? just how old is she? misono: and what do you mean by 'tsurugi level issues'? yumikage: well- Tsurugi: *pouts at Yumikage* "I don't have issues! I just am quirky!" yumikage: that's one way of putting it... *sweatdrop* misono: care to elaborate? Tsurugi: *pouts* "I like money, fighting--and vengeance." misono: um... tsurugi: tsurugi kamiya~ 26 years old and a slut for money~! i'll do anything you say if you pay me~ i'll even lick your feet and call you daddy! jun: *covering tsurugi's mouth* i am so sorry, we're actually a lot more professional than this Tsurugi: *approaches Misono, puts an arm around his shoulder* "Got five bucks?" misono:....whyyy? jun: down boy! down! yumikage: "I will shove $5 up your ass if you don't stop." Tsurugi: "I'LL ACCEPT IT!" jun: *sigh* i apologize for that, he's...special. Kuro: "In a bad way." misono: kind of like mikuni. 7_7; Tsurugi: "!!! HOW DO YOU KNOW HIM?!" misono: o-o he's my brother....how do _you_ know him? Tsurugi: "YOU ARE THE SPAWN OF THE SAME PARENTS AS THAT GUY?!" misono: *tenses*......... Lily: *pat pat* "Let's...just give them some room." shinoa: oh, i remember your brother, he ran into us when we went to the cafe together! misono: O////O s-s-shinoa!! Lily: ^^ Tsurugi: *twitch twitch* "Why was _he_ at a cafe with you?!" shinoa: i think he wanted to look after his dear baby bro~ misono: shinoa please stop. *covers face with pillow* >/////<; Lily: "Fufufu..." Tsurugi: *growls* -phone rings- Kuro: "???" jun: message from shuu.... 'meeting is taking longer than expected, come back after you get lunch.'...we're getting reimbursed for lunch. FREE FOOD!

Our address is--" Businessman: ._.; *runs away* Yosano: *smiles at Atsushi* atsushi: um...i think dazai ran off somewhere... Yosano: "Indeed...I'm sure he's fine. We need to get these back to the office. Let's get on the subway--before the cops come." atsushi: O-O; *follows* Yosano: *purchases the subway tickets* "You'll owe me for the cost of your ticket." atsushi: TTuTT yes ma'am... Yosano: "You can repay...when I'm ready." *leads him to their subway train to get on board* -and so- Yosano: "Remember, Atsushi: we cannot be with you 24/7 to protect you." atsushi:...i know... Announcer: ”Hello, passengers, this is your conductor. I apologize to interrupt, but we are proceeding with a little experiment today. I want to evaluate your reactions and sensory input based on unexpected explosions--" *BOOM* civilian: WHAT THE SHIT?! atsushi: ?!?! *The train shakes as blood comes out from under the door* Announcer: "How many died? One? Two? Three? I'm afraid this won't stop unitl one test subject—Atsushi Nakajima--surrenders himself. Otherwise, you other passengers get a one-way ticket to the afterlife. Thank you for your cooperation, and enjoy the ride." atsushi: *paralyzed with fear* -people are freaking out- Yosano: "Huh. Coincidental. I guess you have three options, Atsushi: First, get captured. Second, jump off the train and leave these passengers to their doom. Third, beat this shithead to a pulp." atsushi:..*gulp* i dont really have much of an option, do i? Yosano: "Nope. Not when you're part of the Armed Detective Agency." Businessman: "!!! You again! Save us! I can't die!" Yosano: "...Oh, look, Atsushi. He wants us to save him..." atsushi:...*sigh* damn you morality. alright, lets do this then. Businessman: "Hold on! What did you mean when you said you would..." *blushes* "Make me your bitch?" Yosano: "..." *SLAM* atsushi: *winces* can we go now? Yosano: "You take the back, I'll take the front. Oh, and one piece of advice: kill the enemy." atsushi: *gulp* right. *Scared crowds run past Yosano* Yosano: ("Threatening to kill people in public in daylight...The Mafia is dedicated...") *A lemon rolls by Yosano's foot...her heel pulls out a ring from this lemon, actually a grenade* Yosano: "!!!" *leaps* *BOOM* atsushi: ?! (thinking: this is bad, this is very bad!) *A bomb rolls into Atsushi's view* atsushi:....

Girl: *closes her flip-phone--and knocks Atsushi back from the bomb* atsushi: it's dangerous! you need to go! *An aura forms around the girl...* ???: "Get in my way, and you die." atsushi:.... O.O; *The aura withdraws a sword--and slashes at Atsushi* atsushi: *winces* Girl: "Kyouka Izumi is my name. I too am an orphan." atsushi: ?? Kyouka: "I like rabbits and tofu. I dislike dogs and thunder. Since the Mafia took me in, I have killed 35 people in six months." atsushi: ?! Kyouka: *slices at him again* -Meanwhile- Yosano: *groans in pain* Motojirou: "They sure are making women indestructible nowadays." yosano: tch-, we live in a society of gender equality, it's not the 18th century. its more surprising that a wanted criminal like you would be here. Motojiro: The infamous Motojirou Kajii can't stay in the shadows like other mafiosos. I killed 28 civilians just in the Maruzen Building. Goddamn, it was beautiful...Death is practically an art installation, or an experiment." yosano: an experiment, you say? Motojiro: "God and death! Both are inextricably tied, yet neither can be overcome by science--which makes them all the more enthralling! Thrilling!" *adjusts his visor* "Let's see what is the color of your death..." -meanwhile- atsushi: please, let's just talk about this. Kyouka: *approaches him, and the civilians hiding in the car behind him* atsushi: just step away from the bomb, and it'll all be good, ok kiddo? Kyouka: "..." *slight shake upon hearing 'kiddo'* atsushi: lets just talk this over and it'll be fi- *SLASH* Kyouka: *still has phone to her ear* atsushi: *screams of pain* -meanwhile- Motojiro: "Heh. Expected more of you, Detective." yosano: *wince* Motojiro: "You have no chance to survive...So I will tell you...what death is. An academic interest. If diseases can be reversed, why is death not? Why do people die?" yosano:..heh....*she laughs* you seriously dont know something so simple? Motojiro: "?! What?" yosano: the reason is....you're an idiot. Motojiro: "!!!" *stabs her hand* yosano: *screams* Motojiro: "Thank you for your valuable opinion. I will take it under advisement..." *drops his lemon bombs* "The brain is conscious eight hours after death. I'll come for your corpse later. Until then, take your time to die. Oh! And one question...How does it feel to know that you are dead?" -meanwhile- atsushi: *slumped against the wall* urg... *looks at the hole blown into the side of the train* Kyouka: "I have killed. Stay back. Or they will die." atsushi:... (thinking: this is my fault... these people's lives are at risk, just because they're on the same train as me...) -meanwhile- Motojiro: *re-enters* "So, you cooked yet?" yosano: *laying on the ground* Motojiro: *whistles, as he picks her up to turn her over* yosano: *opens eyes* suprise motherfucker. -PUNCH- Motojiro: "H-How?! Wh-Why?!!!" *blood pouring out his nose* yosano: damn, maybe i should have hit a bit harder. where did i hit again? care to refresh my memory? Motojiro: *trembling, pointing to his left cheek* yosano: thank you~ *PUNCHES HIM IN THE RIGHT CHEEK* Motojiro: *collapsed, trying to get up* "Impossible! Y-You should've died!" yosano: well, i am a doctor. i've seen deaths by the hundreds. you asked earlier, what is 'death'. simple. it's the loss of life. even though we give it our all, some patients just slip away. 'death is the pinnacle of science'?. BULLSHIT! Motojiro: "...Oh no...N-Now I recognize you...The Agency's resident doctor...the healer..." yosano: bingo, we have a winner, what did he win? survey says~.... a special treatment~ *pulls out a big ass cleaver* Motojiro: Q~Q "Eek." -his screams could be heard throughout the city- Kyouka: *points her blade at Atsushi...and is crying* atsushi: it's ok....just tell us where the bomb is and it'll be alright... Kyouka: "I-I...cannot." atsushi: what do you mean? *hearing beeps* ?! Kyouka: "..." *crying, as she pulls back her kimono...* atsushi: .... !!!! -the bomb is there- atsushi: we have to get that off! if we dont, you'll- *CLICK* atsushi: ?! Kyouka: "..." *she's still holding her phone...* atsushi: ... Phone: "Take them with you. Show them what the Mafia can do..." yosano: *over the intercom* atsushi, you still alive? if so, our culprit here told me the bomb is on your end set off by a remote. it'll blow in a minute if not properly defused. Kyouka: *holding back tears* yosano: you can stop it with an emergency button. it's with the mafia on your end. atsushi:...could you please hand it to me? Kyouka: *shakes her head, backs away* atsushi: please, just take the bomb off then! Kyouka: "..." *pushes him back* atsushi: ?! Kyouka: "I am Kyouka. I have killed 35 people. I wish to kill no more." atsushi: (thinking: that phone....it's controlling the demon...so then...she cant control it on her own?) Kyouka: *walks back to the hole in the side of the train...steps back..." atsushi: !!!! *runs out and reaches after her* *She falls* atsushi: NO! *jumps out after her* Kyouka: *dead eyes as she listlessly watches him approaching her* atsushi: *grabs her and yanks the bomb off with all the strength he could muster and holds her close* Kyouka: "!!!" *SPLASH* -BOOM- yosano: !!! shit! *runs* -meanwhile- atsushi: *cough cough* .... *looks at kyouka* Kyouka: *not moving* atsushi: !!! shit.. *tries to give CPR* Kyouka: "..." *cough* atsushi: *phew*...are you ok? Kyouka: "...Why?" atsushi: i didnt...want you to throw your life away...*looks down* (thinking: thank god i didnt tear her clothes, that would have been embarrassing) Kyouka: "...Erm..." atsushi:....??? Kyouka: "...I'm wet." atsushi: oh! um...i'll get you a towel! um....*looks around* there! *points to an onsen* it'll give us shelter from the rain, too.
