Division Rap Battle Dead Pool

Do not ask me what this is and why I am posting it, this is yet another product of the insanity that goes on in our 18+ discord server

Credit to @toyama-division / @suginami-division for the idea! 😈

It’s no surprise that with the formation of the Division Rap Battles by the Japanese Government (also known as Chuohku), many teams have been formed either through coercion or by their own volition, with those teams come many high profile people or very prolific celebrities both old and young. As such, a betting ring was formed, by who? Well, no one knows, it could be from criminals to politicians to random civilians to even other contestants in the very same tournament, all that matters is that every person in the Division Rap Battles has a bounty on their head, this is a list of how much they’re apparently worth.

Happy Halloween from Valor Guard

(+ Yaeka & Sara!)

“Come on, Sei, think of it as a team bonding moment.” 

“Why did I agree to do this?” 

“I can think of a thousand other ways to bond as a team that doesn’t include dressing up in costumes.” 

“Maybe but this is funner right?” 

“It’s not so bad, Chief. At least it's better than what you might have planned, which knowing you is no costume at all.” 

“If you must know, Yaeka had a costume picked out for me, but it seems that I��m saving it for next year.” 

“So even the big bad Chief is soft for his little girl huh?” 

“One day you’ll understand Rookie when you have kids of your own.”

“Pfftt. That’s not for another decade, at least. For now, I’m content with my child-free life.” 

“Alright you two break it up it’s Halloween we should be celebrating not fighting. Get into the spookiness.” 

“My Halloween plans include several spooky 18+ things that shouldn’t be mentioned around innocent ears. I plan on doing those things with Kaoru and Joey. We're…having fun tonight.”  

“That's my cue to leave then because I refuse to listen to Shiba’s sex life. That’s a horror on its own.”  

“Hahaha! See ya later, Chief!” 

“Don’t cause trouble, Rookie.” 

“No trust from him. Anyway, see ya later, Ayumu-san. Can't keep Kaoru and Joey waiting for any longer.” 

“I should head out with Sara, too. She wants to go over to see Shisuta-san. But first, have this. Now be safe tonight don’t want you in the back of my ambulance.” 

You received a treat!

Chocolate Stones. Milk chocolate made to look like realistic stones. Don’t worry, your teeth aren’t going to break on these. They’re just pure chocolately goodness. 

You received a treat!

“Hi! Happy Halloween! I’m a black kitty cat, cross my path, and I’ll curse you with bad luck! Hm? Oh! I’m just waiting for Papa to finish up with work, and then he’ll take me trick or treating! Oh! I hear him calling! Here you go! See ya!”

Choco Cats. Small chocolate pieces in the shape of cats come in creamy milk chocolate, bitter dark chocolate, and rich white chocolate. Be careful eat too many, and bad luck might happen.

You received a treat!

“Happy Halloween! I’m Goldilocks this year! I wanted to go as her after Grandma read me the story for bed! Daddy even helped me make my costume this year!  I’m going to go show it off to Miss Shisuta! So here you go! Bye-bye!” 

Sugar Bear Cookies. Sugar cookies in the shape of bear heads and coated with sweet frosting. Some are too hard, some are too soft, and some are just right. Perfect before taking a quick nap.

Tomi's Thoughts on Niigata Division

Seiji Tsukimoto

"The Chief of the Japanese Police Department, if I'm not mistaken, which I'm usually not. My parents have frequently tried to invite him over to many of our galas, but he always refuses, citing that, 'He's too busy', or 'On an important case', or some other excuse. Truthfully, I think that's just his way of trying to avoid being associated with our family. Peh, more's the pity for him, I suppose. There's much that could be done if he had my family backing him..."

Lyall Shiba

"Ugh, I remember this young man. Before he was an "officer of the law", he used to be a handsome model; the most popular one in Japan, if memory serves me right. Truthfully, I don't know why that was warrant enough for him to attend our parties, but my parents always stressed to make as many connections as I could. Peh, I could gladly do without this one. Him and his sister knew next to nothing about high society."

"Speaking of which, that sister of his is banned from attending any soiree here in Aoyama again, after the stunt she pulled the last time she was here. That wench threw a very rich glass of chardonnay in my face after she misinterpreted a compliment I had given her! Peh, I suppose that's what happens when we let peons associate with the rich."

Ayumu Hayami

"Ah, Hayami-san. I know of him because he used to attend several soirees here in Aoyama, along with his wife. However, after the scandal that arose when it was discovered she was cheating on him... it was all that we here in Aoyama would speak about for several months. I suppose it's no surprise we didn't see either him or his wife after that. His younger sister attends in his place. However, I try not to associate with her unless necessary. She obviously dislikes these parties and just attends them out of necessity. Peh, she and Luis would get along fabulously if they met one another."

"Speaking of his wife, did you know that woman is actually in charge of the department that my mother works for? I'd thought my mom would be upset about working under someone younger than her, but she seems to have nothing but good things to say about her, which is odd since I know my mother doesn't care for anyone in Chuohku. How strange..."

Valor Guard

"The Chief of the Police teaming up with a homicide detective and a paramedic. I suppose it wouldn't be too far-fetched to say that they may have something to do with that team from Kanazawa, correct? I wasn't aware crime was so low that the police needed to get involved in a rap tournament. ...But I suppose that's none of my concern. So long as they do not bother me or my cohorts, we've no need to get involved with them."

Contestants/Couples (2/2)

Of course, we couldn’t forget about the main event! We’ve searched high and low throughout Japan to find the very best, the crème de la crème of each and every Division had to offer and we certainly weren’t disappointed with the line up we have and something tells us you aren’t going to be either once we reveal who our couples for this competition are. The couples and contestants for the 2024 Mr. and Mrs. HypMic Couples' Pageant are...

1. "Up next, we have, perhaps, the youngest couple in this competition. Both women have only been dating for approximately a year now, but that doesn't take away the love and care they have for each other! They've been friends for far longer than that, and both know each other inside and out! We'll see if that knowledge, and their young age and cuteness takes them far in this couples' pageant! Please welcome, the popular YouTuber with hundreds and thousands of fans, Criss "Paradox" Hiromi of Akihabara, and her partner, the first-ever winner of the Ms. HypMic Pageant, 2023's most beautiful and talented woman in all of Japan, Kanade "Spooky" Alarie of Kyoto!"

Phantom Powwow

2. "Next up, we have perhaps the most hot-blooded duo in all of this competition. ...Well, I say 'hot-blooded', but really, these contestants are actually fairly level-headed... so long as you don't say or do anything to piss them off! If you do, well... you can only blame yourself if you wind up with third-degree burns! The competition will really heat up with these two, so let's give them a heated welcome, shall we? First, we have one of the most decorated chefs in all of Japan, Luis "El Dorado" Kōkyū of Aoyama! And his partner, well-known librarian and model, Aoba "Guinevere" Yamamura of Kumamoto!"

Inferno Pair

3. "It's best to think of the song, "Opposites Attract" for this next couple, because these two lovebirds are on opposite sides of the law! One is a dedicated officer of truth and justice, while the other is not afraid to bend the rules behind her computer screen! Despite that, they've managed to both catch each other's eye and have been in a "not-so secret" relationship with one another ever since! They've got knowledge in various departments, but will that knowledge help them both in this competition? We'll find out! Please welcome, the man who was once called "Japan's 'It' Boy", Lyall "Corvus" Shina of Niigata, and the infamous hacker and inventor, Kaoru "Arachne" Shinozaki of Edogawa!"

Blue Blaze

4. "This next... well, no offense, but can they really be called a "couple"? Because, and I say this as nicely as I can, but their relationship seems more in-tune with a master and a servant. ...And seeing as how one of the contestants has a leash around his neck, well... I don't think I'm too far off the mark. ...But in any case, perhaps they may surprise us! And if not... well, I'm certain we'll get a good laugh out of them anyway! So, without further ado, please welcome the unparalleled leader of the Kito-gumi, Kito "Renegade" Sakura of Shizuoka, and her... partner, the popular and well-known glassmaker, Yano "Y-STARR" Ietsuna of Toyama!"

Master and Servant

5. "We've now reached the last couple in the pageant. But don't make the mistake of thinking they are the least! Because in case you don't know, one of the contestants is a fighter! And if anyone makes the mistake of underestimating her, or worse, her partner, she won't hesitate to lay them out on the floor! And Heaven only knows, if she'll stop there! These two young women have been married for only a year, and they couldn't be happier with each other! We'll see if their life as a couple has prepared them for this contest! So, without further ado, let's welcome the last contestants in this competition! First off, we have the MMA Champion of the World, Eldrid "Valkyrie" Iwasaki of Taitō, and her wife, whom you've probably heard if you kept a close ear out on TV shows or video games, Kirumi "Echo" Mayeda of Takatsuki!"

Valkyrie’s Resonance

Let's wish these lovely contestants the best of luck!

Night had long since fallen on the division of Minato. Miku Shirazuki was currently in her home relaxing on her birthday. When all of a sudden she heard a knock on her door. Rising from her position, Miku opened the door only to find a package addressed to her at her doorstep. Picking it up, Miku brought it inside and began to open it.

Inside the gift were 2 gifts. The first was a set of black and silver tarot cards that shined when Miku moved them around. The second gift was a set of candles shaped like black & white raven skulls. Several symbols associated with the occult were carved into them as well. Seeing a note on the bottom of the box, Miku picked it up and began to read.

Miku,

Happy Birthday. I know we haven’t seen each other much since we’ve both retired from the entertainment scene, but I wanted to get you something for your birthday, so I hope you enjoy them.

– Lyall S.

Lyall S… Lyall S… Miku pondered as she read over the card again. Oh, it’s that one guy… I think I remember him?

A whole new tarot deck… Miku thought as she examined the designs. She ran her fingers over the print of the cards.

I… don’t know if this deck speaks to me… but I feel like I can sense Shiba-san’s aura through these cards… it’s incredible…

It’s just beautiful…

Thanks for the gifts!

[hamamatsu-divison]

It was late into the night in Hamamatsu, and Christmas just had a few more hours left before it was over. Eden Yamamura was currently relaxing in his home when he heard the doorbell ring. Opening the door, the blond haired male saw a small box on his doorstep. Picking it up Eden brought the package inside and began to open it.

Inside was the famous Vivian Westwood orb necklace. It was golden with rings and a crystal center. Small multicolored gems lined the rings as well. Eden, seeing a note in the box, picked it up and began to read. 

Yamamura-san,

Merry Christmas. Sorry for giving this so late, but my daughter kept most of my attention today. I wasn’t sure what to get you, but I've heard from the grapevine that you’re a Vivienne Westwood. I hope you enjoy it.

– Ayumu H. 

Eden gasped looking at the necklace,since a time he wanted buy it but he was busy with the school and his perfomance with his band

Vivienne Westwood is his favorite fashion designer and part of his wardrobe and accesories it's clothes from her mark (his favorite being the ring he always wear) and thats necklace was in way to be the second favorite

His purple eyes glowed and he ran to his bedroom (but being careful of not make loud because his father was sleeping after another episode of schizophrebia)sitting infront his dresstable as he put the necklace around his neck admiring how the gold colour and gemstones highlighted againts his pale skin and colorful clothes and makeup

"i need remember thanks Ayumu-san"-Eden said smiling to himself

Happy 2 years to the cyber team of Akihabara Pixel Syndicate! Here’s to many more years! To celebrate it seems like they got a few gifts! 

To Anika from Kaoru - A silly meme shirt with a possum on it and a light green Polaroid camera.

“Happy Anniversary Hypno Girl! Just a little something to treasure the moments with those that matter!” 

To Shian from Lyall - A set of red leather handcuffs and a bar of aphrodisiac-laced chocolate. 

“Happy Anniversary Shian! I’m sure you can put these to good use for a good time. I know you’ll make someone very happy with it.” - Lyall 

To Makina from Kaoru - An oversized Kuromi hoodie and a set of shoes themed after a famous mecha anime series. 

“Screen Shot! Happy Anniversary! Yeah yeah, I know getting a gift from me is great right? Ha!” - 8Cloud

Of course, the most important part of any anniversary is the cake so to Pixel Syndicate, a personally made cake from Kanra!

“Happy Anniversary Pixel Syndicate! Congrats on the 2 years! Hope you’re having a great time celebrating! Enjoy!” - Kanra

“What. The. Fuck.”

Shian pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed. “I don’t know what I was expecting, but it was not this.”

Makina grabbed her new hoodie and threw it over herself, zipping it up and bringing the hood over her eyes.

Anika quickly grabbed her new favorite tshirt she will own and covered the rather… explicit bar of chocolate.

Shian picked up the handcuffs, spinning them around her finger. “More for my collection, I guess.”

“Ew, gross, I don’t wanna know about your sex life.”

Anika removed the tshirt and held it up over Shian’s body, studying her. “I think the caption fits you more than it does me. I don’t wanna hear about it either, but whoever you try them with, have fun… Just keep your bedroom activities out of Makina’s ears and my eyes.”

“She’s almost an adult and spends all her time on the internet, she’s old enough to know these things.”

Anika drew her arms back, hugging the shirt to her chest. “Well okay, then! Enough of that, let’s dig into this cake that’s half Makina’s size!”

“I fucking hate you both.”

Thanks for the gifts!

Even from within in my cell

Now it's a certain Darling’s turn to speak 

I advise you not to freak

[Touya:]

Nice to meet you! MC Darling is here to play!

Promise you’ll never leave me, okay?

Everyone who does always ends up dead

No matter I'll face all challenges with no fear

I made a promise to guard this city and my family

I’ll be sure to see it through valiantly

Any criminal who dares to commit a transgression

Avenger will be here to teach you a lesson

I’ll make sure it will be one you never forget 

From behind bars, repaying society's debt

Losing is something I refuse to allow

So, Rookie, it's your turn now

[Lyall:]

Representing the voices of those who have lost their lives to the rotten 

Making sure that they’ll never be forgotten

Staying up all night, piecing together every little clue

Don't you know that Corvus is coming for you   

Never stopping, I won't ever rest

Not until their killers are mine to arrest

Even if it means breaking a law or two

What does it matter as long as they get their due

[Ayumu:]

Speeding through the city, sound the alarm

I made an oath to save anyone from harm 

From the innocent to even the most depraved 

To the city being razed 

Ex-Aid is here to make sure everyone comes out alive 

Even if I have to work on overdrive 

No one will die not if I can help it 

It's just not in my nature to quit

[All:]

We hereby declare to fight with all our might

We are determined and invincible ruffians

Our words are machine guns

Or compasses that lead us to the future

We’re the trinity, it’s showtime

We engrave our style in history

A DNA vessel wandering life and death

We’ll follow our instincts, say what?

We got major beef, now we settle it

My Hypnosis Mic roars

Customized to attack your psyche

Words that burn your synapses

We’re the Trinity, it’s showtime

We engrave our style in history

A DNA vessel wandering life and death

We’ll follow our instincts, say what?

Chinami's Thoughts on Niigata Division

Seiji Tsukimoto

Chinami sighed. It had been a long day. She had pushed herself to revealing the timelines of many individuals today. But it was necessary considering she had put her work on hold due to the Division Rap Battle, and making sure her siblings were prepared. She sighed as she spotted Jin watching something on T.V. She decided both he and her would rest for good after this. If he wasn't tired, his mother certainly was.

Sighing once more, the blind diviner turned her attention to her mystic ball and calmed herself as she decided to gleam into one last team: Niigata Division, Valor Guard.

"Tsukimoto Seiji."

The Past: Chinami’s crystal ball reveals a tumultuous past for Seiji, one that began with the heart-wrenching loss of his parents and the mysterious disappearance of his sister. These events cast a long shadow over his childhood, leading him into a spiral of delinquency. Yet, within this darkness, a figure emerged—Shotaro Kusanagi, a police officer who saw potential in the troubled youth. The ball shows how Shotaro’s influence was the catalyst for Seiji’s transformation, guiding him from the brink of self-destruction to a path of honor and service.

The Present: In the present, Seiji stands as a pillar of strength and authority as the Chief of Police. The crystal reflects his unwavering dedication to his duty, a commitment that is both his shield and his burden. Despite his stoic exterior, the ball shows a man who is deeply scarred by the tragedies of his life—the loss of his wife and son, and the weight of single parenthood. His love for his daughter Yaeka is the sole light in his world, a beacon that guides him through the darkness of his grief.

The Future: The future holds a complex weave of possibilities for Seiji. The crystal ball shimmers with the potential for healing and resolution, suggesting that his journey with Valor Guard may lead to unexpected allies and new strengths. His quest to find his sister and his desire for a kinder world are intertwined with his role as a leader, indicating that the bonds he forms in the Division Rap Battle could be instrumental in his search for peace and closure.

Lyall Shiba

"Shiba Lyall."

The Past: Chinami's crystal ball reveals a past where Lyall’s early success in the limelight as a model and actor is abruptly darkened by a life-threatening encounter with the 'Sweetheart Killer.' This traumatic event becomes a turning point, leading him away from the glamour of his former life and into the depths of addiction as he grapples with survivor's guilt. The ball shows his struggle to find meaning after such a harrowing experience, and his eventual decision to pursue a career in law enforcement as a way to make sense of the chaos that enveloped him.

The Present: In the present, Lyall is seen as a highly skilled detective, his outward charm and confidence belying the emotional scars that linger beneath. The crystal reflects his relentless pursuit of justice, often pushing the boundaries of the law to provide closure for the victims' families. Despite his empathetic nature, there’s a sense of vengeance that simmers within him, a desire for retribution against the one who nearly ended his life and caused so much pain to others.

The Future: The future holds a path fraught with personal and professional challenges for Lyall. The crystal ball shimmers with the potential for confrontation and the possibility of facing his attacker once again. His role in Valor Guard, alongside Seiji Tsukimoto and Ayumu Hayami, suggests that his quest for justice may soon intersect with his thirst for revenge. The future is uncertain—will Lyall find the peace he seeks, or will the quest for vengeance consume him?

Ayumu Hayami

"Hayami Ayumu."

The Past: Chinami’s crystal ball delves deeper into Ayumu’s past, revealing a life of privilege that felt hollow due to the superficiality of those around him. His decision to become a paramedic was a defining moment, born from a harrowing experience that unveiled his true calling—to save lives. The ball shows his journey of self-discovery, marked by the pain of betrayal and the realization that wealth could not buy genuine connections or happiness.

The Present: In the present, Ayumu’s dual nature is evident. To the world, he is the jovial, fatherly figure, always ready with a smile and a helping hand. But in the line of duty, he transforms into a paragon of professionalism, his demeanor becoming stern as he navigates the life-and-death situations that define his work. The crystal reflects his unwavering dedication to his patients and his guarded heart, wary of being used for his family’s wealth.

The Future: The future for Ayumu is a blend of hope and uncertainty. The crystal ball hints at the possibility of new beginnings and deeper relationships, particularly within Valor Guard. His future is intertwined with his ability to open up and trust again, to find solace in the bonds he forms with his teammates, and to continue his noble work with renewed vigor and purpose.

Valor Guard

Chinami, with her deep connection to the spiritual realm, prepares to review the team of Valor Guard through the ancient wisdom of tarot cards. She lights incense, the scent filling the room with a sense of calm and focus. Her son Jin’s soft breathing is a comforting background as she shuffles her deck and lays out the cards for each member.

Seiji Tsukimoto - The Justice: For Seiji, Chinami draws The Justice card, symbolizing balance, fairness, and truth. It embodies his role as the Chief of Police and his unwavering commitment to fairness and truth. The Justice card is associated with law, karma, and the consequences of actions, which aligns with Seiji’s dedication to upholding the law and seeking justice for his city and his family.

Lyall Shiba - The Hanged Man: Lyall's card is The Hanged Man, representing sacrifice and new perspectives. It represents his experience of being suspended in time after surviving the 'Sweetheart Killer.' This card often signifies a period of voluntary sacrifice and the need to see things from a new perspective, mirroring Lyall's transformation from a celebrity to a dedicated detective, and his current struggle with his desire for revenge.

Ayumu Hayami - The Healer (King of Cups): Ayumu is represented by The Healer, akin to the King of Cups, reflecting emotional balance and compassion. It symbolizes his compassionate and caring nature as a paramedic. This card reflects emotional balance, healing, and the ability to remain calm during crises. Ayumu’s decision to leave his family’s wealth behind and dedicate his life to helping others is perfectly encapsulated by this card.

The High Points: Chinami sees the good in each member’s life. Seiji’s high point came when he was appointed Chief of Police, a role that allowed him to enact change and seek justice on a larger scale. It was a moment that affirmed his dedication to his city and provided a new sense of purpose after personal tragedies.

Lyall's high point was his decision to become a homicide detective after surviving an attack by the ‘Sweetheart Killer.’ This choice marked a significant shift from his previous life as a celebrity, redirecting his focus towards serving others and seeking justice for victims like himself.

Ayumu's defining moment was his decision to pursue a career as a paramedic, driven by a desire to save lives and make a tangible difference. This decision represented a departure from the expectations of his wealthy background and set him on a path of service and compassion.

The Team's Future: For Valor Guard as a team, their formation represents a collective high point. Coming together to participate in the Division Rap Battle, they each bring their individual strengths and experiences, creating a united front with the potential to impact their community and find personal redemption. But will their roads together have them finding closure, or destruction? Will what they seek at the end of their journey be want they want? If not, what will become of them? Only time will tell...

Aranai's Thoughts on Niigata Division

Seiji Tsukimoto

Aranai groans at the picture of the police chief. "Oh great, the Chief of the fucking police, himself. As if having that cop from Kanazawa in this tournament wasn't bad enough!" Aranai sighs. "Thankfully, unlike that cop, this one doesn't know me, I don't think. I've done some work in Niigata, but I don't go there since most of my customers in Chubu hail from Nagoya, where that monk and his clique reside. Still, I suppose I'd better watch myself since another cop is snooping around. Ugh..."

Lyall Shiba

"Ha, this guy makes me laugh. Mainly because, for a cop, he's not too bad. And I'm not just saying that because Kaoru in Edogawa has got a thing for him. ...What? Surprised I know about it? Don't be! I mean, it's kinda obvious! Whenever the girls and I are out, she'll sometimes get a call on her cell phone. If it's this guy, Spider Girl's eyes will light up, she'll suddenly get red in the face and then excuse herself for a while.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not making fun of her anything! It's actually kinda cute seeing the resident hacker trip over herself for a guy! For a while there, I was worried I was going to have to do what I do to Sumire and find an excuse to get her and this guy a reason to meet each other. Thankfully, she's not as clueless or brainless as Sumire is and isn't afraid to take a leap!"

Ayumu Hayami

Aranai frowns at the photo of the paramedic. "I'm going to say this right now: I really don't like this guy. Why? Because more than once I've seen him here in Ueno. And it's not because somebody's sick or in danger of dying. No, the reason this guy is here in Ueno is because he's got a thing for Shisuta! ...Yeah, you heard me right! The paramedic is who a year away from being four decades old has a crush on a woman who is f'ing 13 years older than him! What the hell kinda shit is that? I'm not a lawyer like Boss Lady is, but I'm pretty sure dating someone who is a decade older than you is breaking some sort of rule. And if it isn't, then it needs to be! I'm telling you now, I'm keeping a close eye on this guy. If he does anything to Shisuta, they're going to have call a paramedic for him when I get through with him!"

Valor Guard

"Ugh, is Boss Lady asking more and more cops to join this rap tournament or something? Or do they just not have enough to do at the f'ing police station? Because there shouldn't be a reason for so many cops to be joining some rap tournament! I know not every team here is full of law-abiding citizens, but I didn't realize that meant that every cop and their brother needed to form a rap team to arrest them!

"Ugh, and knowing Boss Lady, she's gonna wanna form an alliance with these guys like the ones from Kanazawa. Ugh, hopefully, someone deals with them quickly. Either that, or they become too preoccupied with whomever they're chasing to deal with us..."

Karada's Thoughts on Niigata Division

Seiji Tsukimoto

"The Chief of the Police? ...So, what, he's one of the leaders of all of the cops running around in Japan? If so, then he seriously needs to put his men to work or something! I mean, how the hell can you claim to be protecting the country when you let a crazy psycho chick kidnap a bunch of blood from a blood bank?! And then that crazy bitch had the gall to do it at my party, which I'm still pissed off about, by the way!"

"So yeah, you and your guys need to get on the ball, man! Arrest that crazy bitch and throw her in a slammer somewhere so we don't have see her again!"

Lyall Shiba

"Hey, I remember this guy! Didn't he use to be a model or something? Yeah, I think I recall seeing him in magazines or something. He was the 'It Guy' or something like that? Yeah, I think so. If you're wondering how I know, well... I had to do a few modeling jobs myself. I mean, hey, can you blame photographers for wanting a picture of... this?!" Karada flexes his muscles as camera flashes appear from out of nowhere. He then turns back around, smiling a toothy grin.

"Haha! Sorry about that. But yeah, he and I may have been in a magazine together once or twice. I'll admit, he was pretty handsome. Would be better if had some muscles, though. He's far too shrimpy."

Ayumu Hayami

"A paramedic? What's this guy doing in a rap tournament? Isn't he supposed to be running around, saving lives and resuscitating people or something? I mean, don't get me wrong! I'm not bashing on the guy. Believe it or not, I've taken some CPR classes a few times. Granted, I'd only do that on a woman or something, but still, knowing how to restart a heart does come in handy. Trust me, I've seen a lot of guys keel over when working out because they didn't pace themselves. It's a bad way to go!"

Valor Guard

"I gotta mirror Tomi's views on this team. I mean, the police chief, a pretty boy detective and a paramedic? Sounds like the beginning of a joke or something. I mean, I'm not saying they couldn't prove dangerous or something, but... well, what I am wondering is what the heck they're doing in a rap tournament. Like I said, if they need work, they could be doing some by arresting that crazy chick; "Tinder", or whatever her name is!"

Happy Anniversary to one of Minato’s many teams R.I.P Märchen! Congratulations on reaching your 2nd anniversary! Looks like they were each sent a little something to celebrate!

To Queen Card from Yuriko - A silver sword with emeralds and diamonds embedded into the pommel. 

“Happy Anniversary Your Majesty. I hope you find the gift humorously to your liking. Fit for a queen willing to fight for her subjects.” - Yuriko 

To Reiaki from Reika - A set of new SFX makeup brushes and the complete collection of Universal Studios Classic Horror movies. 

“Fufufu~ Happy Anniversary Dear. It was quite the time hanging out with you.” - Reika

To Miku from Lyall - A amethyst pendant in the shape of a crescent moon.

“Happy anniversary Miku. May the upcoming year not be as stressful or anxious for you as this last year was.” - Lyall 

Of course, no anniversary is complete without any cake, so to R.I.P Märchen, a personally made cake from Kanra!

“Happy Anniversary R.I.P Märchen! Enjoy this cake on me! Fit for a team that is themed after fairytales!” - Kanra

The staff members that worked under her majesty the Queen Card had all gathered on the main stage to the theatre belonging to a prestigious Minato hotel, dedicating the day to celebrate the second anniversary of R.I.P Märchen’s formation.

The cake that was far too gorgeous to slice into, winded up being divided and served to the staff, who more than deserved it.

Queen Card stood by the left wing, observing the smiling faces and the overall celebratory mood of her employees. She was the only one without a plate of cake, instead choosing to allow the others to indulge.

The Queen turned her head to face the gifts that had been bestowed to her and her teammates.

She knew for a fact that Reiaki would put her new tools to use for her next film project or perhaps for the next stage performance. And no doubt about it, she was going to rope in someone to speedrun all of the movies in release order.

Miku, on the other hand, was already wearing her new necklace. While she was conversing with some of the other employees her age, she would run her slim fingers along the amethyst charm from time to time.

Meanwhile, she wasn’t quite sure what to make of her own present. It was a stunning piece of weaponry and it certainly symbolized the representative Minato team. She wasn’t exactly the type of person to keep around statement pieces she had no intention of using. Pure silver was not what she had an eye out for. But perhaps it would make for a centerpiece for a future illusionist show?

Her Majesty’s line of thinking was interrupted when plate of cake was held in front of her.

Both Reiaki and Miku had left their previous places and offered up a slice for their team leader.

Queen Card chuckled stepped out from the shadows, gladly excepting the plate from her teammates.

Thanks for the gifts!
