M - Monster

@zexalmonth

Mera is another barian monster baby OC. I decided to share her under the Monster prompt because her design takes a lot of inspiration from Baby Tiragon. The more liony aspect was vaguely inspired by Dandylion, and her powers include making little floaty puffs that can explode people upon contact. Her mane becomes hot to the touch and spikier when she's riled up too! Although she looks like a lion, she is about housecat sized in this form, and sometimes uses this to her advantage to hide in small spaces and spy on people. The rest of the time she spends in her human form as the prince of Vector's reconstructed kingdom in a pocket dimension. Mera uses a combination of pronouns depending on mood and physical form.

Thinking about getting people out of the "food comes from the store" mindset it might be as easy as getting people who don't think about food to come foraging. I feel like once people eat a few dandylion greens it's hard to stop seeing vacant lots as fields because Just Look at it There's Food There. All of a sudden you have the choice between spending 2$ a pound for a bunch of spinach or just walking around the neighborhood picking dandylions, and maybe the spinach is still economical but it would change how you see urban space.

from my curious non-expert point of view, I am not seeing a way to fix food and agriculture systems without increasing the proportion of people who are farmers

Hi!! First or all, OBSESSED w your art and w Rynn- like my GOD the gay panic is REAL. Second, I mainly interact w your stuff over on twitter, but came here to ask if you have an FAQ?? If not, I’m really just tryna figure out what brushes you use for everything. I’m just absolutely in love w your style and line-work

Hi, haha, and thank you! I’ve never considered an FAQ because I don’t get a lot of Frequently Asked Questions (aside from “Can Rynn Snap My Spine”) but maybe I should? There was a post about my brushes a good while back, but since then I’ve switched to procreate on the ipad and changed my brushes a bit. I use relatively few brushes - back on photoshop I used either the standard round brush or a square brush a friend made for me. You can find some more info on that in this ancient post from 2018  After moving to procreate I got a few new ones that I use now.

1.  A collection of various freckles/speckles brushes that I use for Rynn. Dunno where I got these anymore unfortunately, had them for years.

2. A pastel colour brush  from Kyle T webster “Pastel soft square 4″ that I use for most of my colouring on personal pieces that don’t require lots of rendering. 

3. Square brush mentioned above, imported from PS. Use it for colours and colour-sketching.

4. My Primary One is a procreate standard “technical pencil” that I’ve modified and added a pretty dense grain texture to. I love it and use it for everything. 5. Standard tech and studio pen from procreate.

You can poke me in DM’s if you have any further questions, or if there’s anything you’d like me to have in an FAQ in the future. I might set one up!

So, I wanted to redo my Masterlist since it’s a hot mess. Hopefully, this one doesn’t have any problems. (Knowing my luck, it will.)

Sorabon Flies Solo?! A Lesson in Heroing! (Part 2 of 3)

~~~~

Author's Note: The "~~" signify a scene change.

~~~~

[Back at the base]

Once everyone returns to base, Shiro softly asks the kids to give him some time alone, understanding the situation they just got out of, they agree to give him some space for the time being. He heads for the door leading to the hallway that leads to the bedroom, he enters as soon as the sliding door open, once he entered, the door closes behind him, leaving the kids to talk amongst themselves.

Tiiru speaks first. "Man, Shirobon-san is really bummed." 

Polka rests upon the waiting bench, and puts his crutch beside him. "I'm pretty sure any parent would be bummed after their kid told them they hated them."

Tosukana's fists shook. "Ooooh, Sorabon has really crossed the line! I get he didn't want to stop being the hero, but him telling his dad he hated him because he didn't want to get grounded is too far!"

Polka nodded. "I couldn't agree more, and I'm the one that usually blows things out of proportion!"

While Polka and Tosukana were talking, Tiiru was gazing downward, deep in thought, thinking about the fight between Shiro and Sora. Something just didn't sit right with them, sure, Sora was a jerk to his dad, but they noticed some things about him while they tuned out Shiro's lecture. They thought they should address these things to the others. "Maybe that wasn't Sora talking."

"Huh?" Polka and Tosukana turned to Tiiru. "What do you mean, Tiirubon? Please elaborate." Tosukana insisted.

"Yeah, I want to hear how that couldn't have been Sora saying all that shi- Ow!" Polka got nudged by Tosukana before he said a swear. "I mean, all that crap." He corrected as he rubbed his arm.

"While I was tuning out Shirobon-san's lecture-" They began.

"Can't blame you for that, lectures do get boring after a bit." Polka interrupted.

"Yeah, they do. Anyway," They continue. "I took a better look at Sorabon, and noticed his eyes, they were completely purple, and had no shine at all."

"Really?" The two inquire simultaneously.

Tiiru nods. "Not just that, but his biidama is purple as well."

Tosukana rests a hand under his chin. "Now that I think about it, they were purple, weren't they? I was so mad at Sora that I didn't think to take that into account."

"Ya sayin' that Sorabon got corrupted?" Polka questioned.

Tiiru nods. "That's what the pieces chalk up to."

Polka groans and grabs his head. "Not this crap again! Can't the Dorketeers not corrupt someone for one week or whatever?!"

"I don't think it was them that corrupted Sorabon." Tiiru countered.

"Polka, do you remember when you got corrupted?" Tosukana questioned.

Polka shuddered. "Ugh, how can I not? It's a day I would rather forget part of."

Tosukana gestured to him and went on to explain. [*Cue visuals*] "When you were corrupted by the Neo Musketeers, your eye was completely white and had an evil look, your biidama was swirling with dark energy, and your voice sounded almost robotic." He then gestures to Tiiru. "When Ti got corrupted, their eyes were purple and lacked shine, their biidama was completely purple, and their voice was low, but otherwise normal." [*End of visuals*]

"So whoever corrupted me also corrupted Sorabon." Tiiru added.

"My thoughts exactly." Tosukana confirmed.

"Huh, I thought it was just Sorabon acting like a jerk." Polka grabs his crutch and helps himself up. "I guess that's not entirely the case after all, and Ti, I'm kinda surprised you pieced that together before me or Tucker did, usually you're just distracted by something, how smart of you."

Tiiru turned to him after watching a bug fly by. "Huh? Sorry, you say something, Porukabon?"

A sweatdrop appears on the side of Polka's head. "I retract my statement."

Tosukana turned to Polka. "Well, at least we now know why Sorabon is acting the way he is. Let's go find Shirobon-san, this is definitely something he needs to know."

~~~~

In Sora's bedroom, Shiro was sitting upon Sora's bed, facing the window as he stares down at a framed picture of him and Sora, both armored, smiling and winking at the camera as they held their hands next to eachother and did the "V" gesture. That photo was taken not long after Sora finally got Sky-Soarer and he and his friend Tiiru put a stop to the Neo Musketeers' thieving scheme. That day wasn't too long ago, but Shiro can still remember how proud he felt of Sora's accomplishment, the kid had come a long way from being a timid young boy.

That is a sharp contrast compared to him now, the son that once idolized him and wanted to follow in his footsteps now hates him with a burning passion and wants nothing to do with him. He can still hear those three words ringing in his ears, and they still sting so much. What did he do wrong..? Shiro was right in punishing him, but was he too hard on him? Should the punishment have been more lenient? What is he even supposed to do now to bring his son back..? Little did the distraught father know there is going to be an answer to that question.

The door to the bedroom slides open, and in walks Tosukana and the others. "Told you he'd be in here." Polka told Tosukana.

Tosukana just rolled his eyes and approached Shiro. "Shirobon-san."

"I thought I asked for some time alone..." Shiro wasn't saying this in a rude way, he just thought he would get some more time alone.

"You did, but we have some important information you need to know regarding Sorabon's behavior." Tosukana explained.

There was a pause, then Shiro turned to face them. "What is it?"

"We all know Sora's been acting like a total jerk, but we found the real reason he could be acting like a butt." Polka claimed.

Tosukana nods. "We strongly believe that Sorabon got corrupted."

"Corrupted..?" Shiro repeated, a bit stunned.

"When Tiirubon got corrupted, their eyes were purple and their shine was gone, and their biidama was completely purple as well, the same exact thing is going on with Sorabon." Tosukana elaborated.

"So whoever had corrupted me had also corrupted Sorabon, and what he had done and said, I don't think he meant any of it." Tiiru adds.

Shiro was quiet, processing what they all explained. "That explains a lot actually." He said softly. Getting reassured Sora likely didn't mean those things brought some relief, but his son is corrupted by this mysterious dark being, he needs help. "But what it doesn't explain is if the Neo Musketeers didn't corrupt Sorabon, then why are they attacking the City?"

Tosukana scratched his head. "I'm not too sure, but after talking to some citizens, I learned neither of them tried stealing anything of value."

"Maybe they didn't get the chance before Sorabon beat them?" Tiiru inquired.

"Or this is a part of the plan of whoever corrupted Sorabon." Polka adds. "While the Dorketeers are a pain in the butt, they don't attack the city without reason, and I know they wouldn't let themselves get beaten so easily."

"That's right." Tosukana affirmed. "It's not like them to attack without a goal and go down without a fight."

"But if whoever corrupted my son isn't after anything, then what's their end goal if it isn't to destroy the city?" Shiro questioned.

Tosukana puts a hand under his chin and stares downward to think about his question, but couldn't come up with a plausible answer. "I'm not too sure..." He shifts his gaze to Shiro. "But whatever their end goal is, it's obviously not good, and we need to put a stop to it."

Shiro nods. "I couldn't agree more." 

"But where do we even start?" Tiiru inquired. "We don't even know where Sorabon went."

"I think I may have an idea." Shiro takes out his phone. "Lucifer and Dandylion are the only ones that have attacked so far, right?"

"Yeah?" The kids reply, unsure what he's going on about.

Shiro turns his phone over to show them a map, showing two red dots, one on the downtown part of the city, and the other near the harbor. "These two dots show where they attacked, and there's a pattern, they both attacked near the most populated areas of the city." He flips the phone over to input something else. "And since Hades is the only one that seems to have not attacked yet," He flips the phone over once more, now there's a yellow dot on the map. "I bet she'll make her next attack at the Metropolitan area, the most populated area of Biida City!" He lowers the phone. "So if we leave now, we'll be there right before Sorabon comes to stop her and we can try to save him!"

"Right!" "Sounds like a plan!" "Let's rescue our friend!" Tosukana, Polka, and Tiiru say one after another.

"What are we waiting for?! Let's go!" Shiro announces.

"Yes sir!" The kids all shout at once.

~~~~

[Evening; Near the Metropolitan area of Biida City]

"Do I really have to do this, Boss?" Hades questioned to someone on the telecom. "I do not exactly feel like getting defeated twice in one day like my brother and sibling."

"Yes Hadesu." A female voice answered through the telecom. "If everything goes just right, I'll finally have one of the Planet Emblem bearers, so do not deviate, I want everything to go according to plan, understood?"

Hades sighed loudly. "Yes, Boss." The call ends, and she sighs once again. "I REALLY don't want to do this, but I'll incur the Boss's wrath if I don't follow through..." She groans. "Here goes nothing, I guess." She transforms and enters mecha-mode with Escar-Goon, then takes off to the Metropolitan area, and begins launching a barrage of attacks, making the citizens flee in terror. 

As if on cue, Sora, armored up, arrives at the scene not long after her attack began. "Hades!"

"If it isn't the brat that took out my older brother and sibling! On their behalf, I will take you down and avenge them!" She proclaimed.

"As if! You don't stand a chance against me! I'll make you and Escar-Goon escar-get-out-of-here!" He quips.

"Not if we have something to say about it!" The two mechs turn to the sound of the voice to see it came from Shiro, approaching fast on Crys-Whiter, with Tiiru, Tosukana, and the Polka in the Biida-Dolphin following close behind, all four have their armor on, then the four get inbetween Sora and Escar-Goon, Shiro facing his son while the other three face Hades.

"YOU LOT!?" Sora bellows. "I thought I told all of you to stay out of my way!"

"We won't be doing that, Sorabon, not when you need help!" Shiro countered.

"I told you, I don't need any of your help!" Sora screamed. "Get out of the way!"

"Tiirubon, Porukabon, Tosukana Akabon, you three keep Escar-Goon busy, I'll handle Sorabon." Shiro ordered without turning to the three.

"Got it." They affirm without turning around.

"NO! I won't let you take the spotlight away from me!" Sora snarled. He jumps up from his seat, and he and Sky-Soarer transform into mecha form. "Since you don't want to get out of my way, I WILL DESTROY ALL OF YOU!"

Shiro closes his eyes, he knows his son is corrupted, but hearing that coming from him still hurts. "Very well." He opens his eyes, jumps up, then backflips rapidly, and he and Crys-Whiter transform, after the transformation, he tells Sora: "But as your father, Sorabon, I will do whatever it takes to save you!"

"I DON'T NEED SAVING!" Sora bellows before he double-fires at Shiro, which he promptly dodges, beginning their battle.

Tiiru and Tosukana has transformed to get ready for their battle with Hades. She growls. "Grrr, I don't have time for this! Would you brats not interfere with our plan for once?!"

"No can do, Hadesu!~" Tiiru sung.

"Not on our watch!" Tosukana shouts.

"And what do you mean by "our" plans?!" Polka inquired. "Who else are you working with?!"

"None of your business!" She fires at the group, which they all get out of the way, and both parties engage in a heated battle.

As both battles went on, Polka, Tiiru, and Tosukana gained the upper hand, while Shiro struggled, landing a hit on Sora was too hard as he was too fast, he avoids attacks with such ease. It wasn't long until Shiro went down, hearing the nearby crash, Polka, Tosukana, and Tiiru all turned to find Crys-Whiter had been downed! "Shirobon-san!" They all call out, all three try to help, but Hades took advantage of this distraction to fire sticky slime shots, gumming up their thrusters and getting them stuck to the ground! "No! We can't move!" "Eugh, this is both gross and not good!" Polka and Tiiru cry out one after the other.

Crys-Whiter barely turns his head to their direction. "Kids!" He tried to lift himself up, but he couldn't summon enough strength to pick himself up, and plops back onto the ground. "Dang it!" He whispered intensely.

Sky-Soarer stood in front of him, towering over him. "You should've listened when I told you to stay out of my way, now you're paying the price." He charges up a shot.

Crys-Whiter manages to lift himself up, straining as he did so, and look up at him. "Sora! Stop! Please, listen! This isn't you! Fight it! I know you wouldn't want to do this!" Some tears escape the mecha's eyes (how? No idea.). "I know you're stronger than this darkness! Please son, snap out of it!"

Sora paused for an uncomfortably long time, then aimed the cannons at Shiro. "I'm not your son anymore."

"S-Sora..." was all Shiro could utter.

"SHIROBON-SAN! NOOO!" Tosukana, Polka, and Tiiru all cry out.

They all thought this was it, Shiro was going to be slain by his own flesh and blood, corrupted by this darkness in his heart. Shiro just closes his eyes tightly. "My son... I'm so sorry I failed you..."

Sora suddenly freezes, the cannons stop charging, then he grabs the mecha's head, and starts to scream and turn away from Shiro, and everyone else watches silently. Shiro really hoped this was Sora trying to fight for control. He goes eerily still, then after a moment, he checks one of his hands.

"Sora..?" Hearing his name said by Shiro, he slowly turns to look at him, Sky-Soarer's eyes were now a glowing light purple.

Shiro glared into his eyes, this is not his son looking at him, the amount of dark energy Sky-Soarer is now giving off made him shudder. "You're not Sora..." Shiro said lowly.

"Huh, I guess you do think after all. You're not usually a bright and observant one." "Sora" quipped, when he spoke, another voice could be heard within his voice.

"You..." Shiro growled. "Who do you think you are, controlling my son and speaking through him like he's your puppet?! Tell me now you dastardly monster!"

"Aww, but what would be the fun in that? That would spoil the surprise.~" "He" says teasingly.

"Let my son go! NOW!" Shiro demanded.

"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that's not going to happen." "He" gets next to him and rests "his" mechanical hand on Crys-Whiter's shoulder blade. "I need the kid for my plan, however..." "He" gets in front of him and kneels down to stare Shiro in the eyes. "I am willing to make an offer."

"An... offer?" Shiro repeated firmly.

"I'll let your son free, but you will have to join me." "He" told him.

"Join you?!" Shiro was torn on what to do, he would absolutely not join whoever this, but his son is at stake. He isn't sure what to do: join whoever this is to free Sora, or don't join and he will lose his son to the darkness.

"Seems like you're having a hard time making a choice." A dark aura begins to emanate from Sky-Soarer. "Maybe this will help make it easier for you."

Shiro shuddered as the dark energy sent a chill through his body. What do they think they're doing?! Why is he getting this odd feeling? No, this isn't an odd feeling, it's his desire to bring his son back, he wants to save him more than anything, he couldn't think about anything else, he wants his kid to be okay. "If I join you, you will free my son?" He asked, almost monotonously.

"Shiro-san!" Tiiru cried out.

"Yes." "He" replied and held "his" hand out. "I'm assuming you've made up your mind?"

"You better not, Shirobon-san!" Polka yelled.

"I just... I just want Sora to be spared from all this..." Crys-Whiter slowly reaches out to grab "his" hand.

"Shirobon-san! DON'T!" Tosukana screamed, making Shiro stop right when he was just about to grab Sky-Soarer's hand. "Don't accept their offer! They may have no intention of letting Sorabon go! If you do accept, he might never get free!"

Shiro came to his senses and recoiled Crys-Whiter's hand back. "He's right..." He gets enough strength to lift Crys-Whiter to his feet. "You had no intent on letting Sorabon free even after I accept your offer, didn't you?!"

"He" growled, then swiftly turned to the stuck kids. "You BRATS! I was so close! Do you have to RUIN EVERYTHING?!" 

"For evil people controlling our friend, of course we do!" Polka quipped.

"He" turned back to Shiro. "I'll take you out, first!" Then turns to the stuck kids. "Then I'll deal with you three!" "He" looks up at Hades. "Hadesu, you are dismissed, I want to deal with them on my own."

Escar-Goon shrugs. "Sure thing, Boss, I guess." She flies off. "It was getting boring listening to all the talking anyway."

"He" faced Shiro. "Enough of all this! Once you've been dealt with, I'll get what I want! Defeating you should be easy, given your mech's weakened."

"Whatever it is you're after, I won't let you take it, and I won't let you take my son!" Shiro proclaims.

"He" charges up a powerful shot and aims it at him. "Not if I destroy you in one hit!"

Out of nowhere, Sky-Soarer gets hit by a strong red heated blast from behind, interrupting the charging, knocking it down, and heavily damaging it. "GAAAH!" The heated red shots then hit the sticky slime trapping Tuscan-Dragon, Tenacious-Tealer, and Biida-Dolphin, making it melt off and free them.

Tuscan-Dragon lifts himself up. "We're free!"

"Finally!" Polka exclaimed.

"Hot! HOOOT!" Tiiru screamed as they flailed one of Tenacious-Tealer's arms to shake the now hot slime off their arm-wing, then sighed in relief once they did so.

Everyone looks up to see where the heated shots came from, and see Crimson-Dragon hovering above them. "I believe that's enough from you, puppetmaster!"

"Sukarettobon!" Tosukana exclaims.

"YOU AGAIN?!" "Sora" snarled.

"Sukarettobon," Shiro winks. "you came just in time!"

"Sora" groaned. "Had I known you were going to show up and ruin everything, I wouldn't have dismissed Hadesu!"

"That was a mistake on your part!" Polka quips.

"I'm out-numbered, I need to retreat for now!" "Sora" tried to fly away, only to immediately fall to the ground. "AGH!"

"Can't take off when your wings and thrusters are shot!" Tiiru comments.

"Sora" checks behind him, and sure enough, the wings and thruster were too damaged to allow flight. "Frick." "He" cursed under "his" breath.

To make sure "he" doesn't try getting away again, Polka uses the Biida-Dolphin's new biida cannon feature to charge up a stun shot, then fires at Sky-Soarer. It successfully hits and stuns "him," making "him" yell. "HAH! Even if I don't have Bolt-Striker, I'm still shocking!"

The stun shot essentially paralyzes Sky-Soarer, "Sora" can't move anything no matter how hard he tries! Tosukana and Tiiru use this chance to pick him up and hold "him" in place. "We got him, Shirobon-san!" Tiiru shouts. "Fire your healing shot!" Tosukana shouts after them.

"Sora" chuckles darkly. "You think a simple healing shot will bring your precious kid back? Once I have control of him, that will not be enough to free him."

Shiro stood there, glaring at "him" in the eyes. "Not... enough..?" Is he already too late to save Sora? No! It can't be! He knows his son is in there, he can feel it! If an ordinary healing shot won't be enough, then he needs more power!

He closes his eyes to focus, his biidama in the biida-cannon beginning to glow. "By all the light invested in me..." An emblem appears on the cannon's biidama. "Emblem, give me the power to cut the puppetmaster's strings from Sorabon! Light..." He fires a beam of light at Sora! "SHOOT!"

Tosukana and Tiiru hovered away after "Sora" got hit by the beam. "Sora" let's out a near ear-piercing scream as the light enveloped him. "NOOOOOOOO!"

Soon enough there is a bright light coming from "him," and Shiro barely sees a dark cloud in the shape of a broken heart leave Sky-Soarer's body, then dissolve in the light. The screaming soon dies down along with the light, and Sky-Soarer collapses to the ground, and Sora reverts back to normal, out-cold, but unscathed (and his sunglasses had slipped off).

"SORA!" Shiro transforms back to normal and rushes to his son, removes him from the seat, and cradles him. His biidama looked like it was back to normal, but that wasn't enough assurance to Shiro, he needed to know his son is free from the puppetmaster's control. "Sora! Sora! Please wake up Sora!" He begins tearing up. "Please..."

Scarlett, having transformed back to normal but is still wearing her armor, goes over to them. "Allow me to check, if you don't mind, Shirobon-san." Shiro just stayed quiet, watery-eyed, and let her do her thing. 

She checks Sora's biidama for power, a trick her Uncle Kuro taught her. After a bit, she removes her hand from his marble, and turns to Shiro. "I sense no leftover darkness within his biidama. He should wake up soon."

That is such a relief for him to hear. "Sukarettobon..." Shiro bows his head. "Thank you so much for your help."

She returns the bows, then turns around and walks to Tosukana and Tiiru, them having transformed back to normal as well. "Are you two okay?"

"Yes, thank you, sis." Tosukana answered, while Tiiru gave her a simple "Mm-hm!"

Polka steps over to them using his crutch. "Are you going to ask if I'm okay?"

She turns to him, looks him over and notices the crutch and bandages on his arms, then looks at him with a straight-face. "Do I have to ask you?"

Polka flails his free arm. "At least some concern would be appreciated!"

"Okay." She paused, and stares at him for a bit. "Are you okay?"

"Could be better, but thank you for asking." He answered with folded arms and mild sarcasm.

She rolled her eyes. "If we're done here, I'm leaving, and don't let Sorabon know I was here, I don't want to disappoint him for missing me. Take care everyone, and Porukabon." Scarlett hurries to her mech, transforms, then takes off.

"And there she goes." Says Tiiru as they watch her fly off.

"Your sister is a piece of work, Tucker." Polka comments.

"She's a piece of work? You were the one giving her attitude." Tosukana countered.

"Kids!" Shouts Shiro. "Sora's waking up!"

"He is?!" They all rush over and gather around in time to see him stir and groan softly.

Sora's eyes fluttered open as he came to, the first thing he was greeted by were the worried faces of his dad and friends. "D-Dad..? Guys..?" He called out weakly.

Upon hearing his voice, normal and not with another voice within it, his dad and friends gasp out of relief, and Shiro started tearing up again. "Sora..." He pulls him into a hug. "Sora! I'm so glad you're back! I-" He sniffled. "I thought I had lost you to the darkness!"

"Dad..." Sora croaked before returning the hug and started crying. "Dad, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean anything I said or did, I couldn't control it! I'm so sorry for hurting you!"

Shiro rubs Sora's back to soothe him. "I know you didn't mean any of that, you were being controlled by someone, it's not your fault."

"Th-Thank you." He sniffled. "Thank you so much for saving me."

Shiro somewhat moved away to look Sora in the eyes. "It's a parent's job to help out their kids when they're in trouble. There wasn't any way I was going to let someone take you away from me. And besides," He turns to Sora's friends, making Sora do so as well. "I'm not the only one you should be thanking. If it weren't for your friends' help, I don't want to know what could've happened to you, or heck, happened to me."

Sora nods. "You're right. Ti, Taka, Polka, thank you guys for saving me too, and I'm sorry for everything."

"Don't sweat it, Sorabon, like your dad said, it's not your fault." Tosukana said first.

"Yeah, and we're your buddies, Sora!" Tiiru adds. "What kind of friends would we be if we just stood back and did nothing when you were under some meanie's influence?"

"Not very good ones," Sora quips. "but I'm glad to have friends that aren't like that." He glanced at Polka, he had his arms folded, and was gazing away from Sora. He is still upset about something, and Sora knows exactly what that something is. If he wants to make it right, now's the right time to do it.

Sora gets up and goes to Polka. "Hey Porukabon." Polka glances at him, but doesn't say anything; Sora rubs the back of his head and looks aside. "About what I did to you and Bolt-Striker, I'm..." He lets out a soft sigh. "I'm sorry. I admit, I was in over my head, you were only trying to help, but I wound up hurting you and damaging Bolt-Striker." He looks back at Polka. "Again, sorry for that, and trying to blame you for something I did. Do you forgive me?"

Polka stares at him for a bit, turns away to think about it, then turns back to Sora. "I'm still mad about what you did earlier, so I can't forgive you for that, but I do forgive you for everything else passed that since some bi-, I mean, witch, took control of you. It's going to take time for me to forgive you for shooting at me, but if you want some of my forgiveness, you owe me."

Sora smiles. "Fair enough."

Shiro stands up. "Now that's settled," He places a hand on Sora's shoulder, prompting Sora to look at him. "let's head home."

"Sounds like a plan." Sora pauses. "Am I still grounded though?"

"Yes you are." Shiro replied without missing a beat.

"Wait what? Why??" He questioned.

"Your storming off from earlier put the base into lockdown." Shiro answered.

"I'm not the one that told Uncle Aobon to lock down the base." Sora countered sassily.

Polka chuckles. "Heh, he got ya there, Shirobon-san."

"Eh- Well, you made me tell him to do it!" Shiro countered.

Sora shrugs. "Whatever you say, dad."

"Anyway, I'm not sure if Sora can drive Sky-Soarer when it's like that." Polka motioned to the damaged Sky-Soarer.

"What?!" Sora rushes over to his mech to get a better look. "Awww maaan! It's trashed!" He then sighed. "But I understand why it's like that." He shifts his gaze to his dad. "I guess I'm literally grounded too, huh?"

Shiro chuckles. "I guess so, don't worry though, I can give you a lift on Crys-Whiter if you like, Tucker and Tiiru can take care of Sky-Soarer." He glances at the two. "If you two are fine with that."

Tosukana nods "Sure, you can count on us sir!"

Tiiru slouches over and complains. "Ohhhh, why do I have to do heavy lifting again?"

"Hey, at least you have someone helping you this time." Tosukana assured.

Sora laughed a bit at that, then he was suddenly scooped by Crys-Whiter's hands, startling him. "Whoa!"

"Sorry sport, didn't mean to scare ya." Shiro's voice echoed.

Sora looks up at his transformed dad. "I didn't think you meant this kind of lift, but I'm not gonna complain! Just don't drop me."

Crys-Whiter gave him a wink. "You were let down enough times today, I promise I won't let you down again."

Sora rolled his eyes at the dad joke, then laughed. "Let's just go."

When everyone was prepared, they all made their way back to base, and Sora hung on tight as his mechanized dad carried him and he enjoyed the ride. "By the way, where did my coat and sunglasses come from?"

"Honestly son, no idea." Shiro answered.

"It's probably better you don't know, they look so tacky on you." Tiiru comments.

"Enough of that, Tiirubon!" Polka scolded.

[At an Unknown Location]

Dark Desire held a trembling fist as she had her back to the Neo Musketeers, the siblings were covered in bandages, and are cowering as they were on their knees. "B-B-Boss, I-I'm sorry n-nothing went ah-according to puh-puh-plan." Hades stammered, fearing her boss's wrath.

Dark Desire imbues her fist with dark energy as she raises it up, then punches the wall so hard it causes the entire place to shake, and the three siblings hug each other, fearing she'll unleash her wrath upon them next. "Those stupid BRATS!" She punches the wall again. "I WAS SO CLOSE!" She pulls her fist out, and glares at it as it shook. "If it weren't for those stupid kids being there, I would've had one of Planet Emblem bearers! Why did they have to get in the way?! F*ck them!"

She snaps her attention to the shaking trio, making them flinch and brace themselves. "You three!" 

"Ye-Ye-Yes ma'am..?" They question shakily.

She turns her back to three and waves a dismissive hand at them, and speaks in a calmer voice. "Please leave. I need time to myself to think of another plan."

The siblings all quickly stood and saluted her. "Yes ma'am!" The trio then zoomed out of the room, leaving Dark Desire by her lonesome to think.

"If I get one Planet Emblem bearer, I can get the rest." She muttered to herself. "But with all seven of them being "goody-two-shoes" makes it difficult to turn their hearts dark..." She paused. "Though... which one would be the easiest to corrupt first..?"

[The Next Morning]

Shiro was awoken by Violet's gentle nudging and soft voice. "Uncle Shiro. Please wake up."

His eyes barely open, he softly groans as he rubs his eyes. It wasn't unusual for Violet to be up early, what was unusual was her waking him up, she usually wakes up her dad if she needed something. When he's done rubbing his eyes, he looks at her and asks groggily. "Is something wrong, Baiorettobon?"

"No, but it's about Sora." She answered softly.

The mention of his son woke him up a bit more. "Sora?" He sat up. "Is something wrong with Sora?"

"No, nothing's wrong with him, but when I went to the garage to see what other fixes Bolt-Striker needed, it looked like it was already all fixed, and I found him sleeping in it." She replied.

He gave her a bewildered look. "Wait, really? May you show me?"

Violet escorts him to the lab, and sure enough, Bolt-Striker looks all fixed up, and Sora is sleeping in the driver's seat, his head resting on the control panel. "How'd he get there?" Shiro questioned.

"I believe he stayed up all night to fix Bolt-Striker." "What would make you say that, Violet?" She pointed to the plans and blueprints displayed on a nearby table, Shiro followed where she was pointing. "Bolt-Striker's repair plans and blueprints are back on the table, when I know Daddy and Grampy put them away before calling it a night last night."

He stares at the repaired hovercar, putting his wrists on his hips. "Huh, so he did wind up staying up all night repairing Porukabon's mech." He chuckles softly. "Heh, I know Porukabon said he owed him, but I didn't think Sora would pay him back like this. It looks good as new, I'm impressed." He approaches the snoozing Sora.

Violet gets out her trusty wrench. "I hope he didn't install anything unnecessary or put something in wrong."

"How about you check if he did or not?" He suggests to her as gently picks up Sora, careful to not wake him, and holds him close to his chest. "I'm taking him back to bed."

Her glasses shine. "Yes sir." She immediately gets to work as Shiro takes Sora to his bedroom.

As he carried him, he reminisced back when Sora was really tiny, and he would hold him close to his chest to calm the kid down when he got scared, fussy, or needed comfort. He will never forget the warm closeness the two shared during those moments, heck, even now he feels the warm closeness. He's going to miss this once Sora gets his growth spurt.

Upon getting to Sora's room, Shiro softly steps to his bed, carefully places him on it, and tucks him in. "Rest well, champ, you really need it." He gently pats his head, which makes Sora stir in his sleep and turn to sleep on his side, facing the door. Shiro softly chuckles, then silently leaves the room. He's going to give Sora a little surprise when he wakes up.

Promising New Rooftop Bar Overlooks the Great Wheel Downtown

In recent restaurant news, Mike Easton is opening a pasta restaurant in West Seattle, Vita Uva’s natural wine shop has closed, and Georgetown’s Deep Sea Sugar and Salt cake bakery has closed its Airstream trailer. As for the updates below, Rhein Haus is open in Leavenworth, Macrina Bakery has expanded to Capitol Hill, and the Charter Hotel’s Fog Room bar is now mixing drinks with a view downtown.

Have intel about a newly opened restaurant, bar, cafe, or other food emporium that’s been overlooked? Tipping is essential: Send Eater the details over the Seattle tipline and we’ll check it out. Meanwhile, check out this other post for more of Seattle’s restaurant openings from earlier in 2018.

September 11, 2018

LEAVENWORTH — The Central District’s hip German beer and bocce hall, Rhein Haus, now sports a huge two-story expansion in the Bavarian-themed mountain town of Leavenworth. The fourth Rhein Haus location — additional locations opened in Denver in 2015 and Tacoma in 2017 — doesn’t have bocce courts, but it does serve the German brews, schnitzels, giant pretzels, and brats familiar to fans of the growing chain. Status: Certified open. 707 Highway 2, Leavenworth.

CAPITOL HILL — Macrina Bakery’s fifth location has arrived, this time on Capitol Hill’s 19th Avenue, in the former Tully’s building. While bread is the local chainlet’s main commercial specialty, the cafes serve an array of pastries, tarts, soups croissants, cakes, coffee, and sandwiches. At this new spot, there’s also brunch on the weekends, along with communal tables, a grab-and-go section, and a true urban unicorn: a parking lot. Status: Certified open. 746 19th Ave.

DOWNTOWN — With indoor seating and a rooftop lounge overlooking the waterfront and the Great Wheel, Fog Room is perched on the 16th floor of Hilton’s new Charter Hotel. There are small bites, like seared scallops with tomatillo and avocado salsa, and original cocktails with local ingredients, including Twisted Bliss, featuring mezcal, peach, and manzanilla sherry. This place has potential, especially as hotel bars go, given that former Rob Roy manager Jesse Cyr is the assistant general manager, and Silas Manlove, formerly of the Nest at the Thompson hotel, is general manager. The bar joins the hotel’s Argentine restaurant, Patagon. Status: Certified open. 1610 2nd Ave., Floor 16.

Correction: September 11, 2018, 9:30 p.m. This article was updated to reflect that Fog Room no longer promises live music, in contrast with information sent in a press release.

August 8, 2018

Bao House specializes in open-faced steam buns in the International District.

Bao House/FB

BELLEVUE — Belltown’s La Parisienne French Bakery has added a Bellevue address, and it’s connected to a wine bar, Cépaé Tasting Room. Cépaé claims to have the largest selection of wines by the glass in the Seattle area, with 120 bottles — a broad mix from Europe, the U.S., and South America — all available as 1⁄2-ounce or 5-ounce pours. The bakery’s selection, meant to complement the wines next door, includes pastries from croissants to Paris-Brest, lunch options like salad nicoise, sandwiches, and quiches, and, in the evening, boards with charcuterie, seafood, cheese, and vegetables. Status: Certified open. 258 106th Ave. NE.

INTERNATIONAL DISTRICT — Newcomer Bao House serves a small menu of open-faced Taiwanese steam buns, a type of bao. The selection of fillings includes 24-hour brined pork and roasted duck. Accompanying dishes range from fried egg rolls to fried fish balls to chicken wings. The restaurant is already open but holding a grand opening celebration on August 12 with two-for-one bao and drinks. Status: Certified open. 514 S. King St.

QUEEN ANNE — Uptown Hophouse’s 24 beer and cider taps are flowing near Key Arena. The sports bar’s current tap list includes names like Reverend Nat’s Hard Cider, Georgetown Brewing, Fremont Brewing, and Pfriem Family Brewers. There’s food, too, like fingerling potatoes with curry ketchup, a charcuterie board, spicy coconut curry bowl, and Cubano sandwich. Status: Certified open. 219 1st Ave N #101.

August 2, 2018

Capitol Hill-born Victrola has opened a downtown cafe.

Victrola/FB

DOWNTOWN — Capitol Hill’s respected Victrola Coffee Roasters has opened a downtown cafe at 3rd and Pine, inside the Macy’s building, which now also houses Amazon offices above. It’s only Victrola’s fourth location in its 18-year history. As with the other locations, the new cafe serves espresso drinks, pastries, and sandwiches in a modern space with lounge chairs and window benches. Status: Certified open. 300 Pine St, Suite 100.

SOUTH LAKE UNION — Jeffrey Kessenich, former chef at the late Tanglewood Supreme, has opened airy and ambitious Birch next to White Swan Public House on Lake Union. Diners have two options at Birch: a three-course prix fixe menu for $50 that includes choices for antipasto, primo, and secondo courses, plus a dessert add-on for $11; and a seven-course chef’s tasting menu for $70, which puts diners in the hands of the kitchen. Kessenich promises locally sourced, sustainable ingredients with plenty of gluten-free and vegan options. Status: Certified open. 1001 Fairview Ave. N.

GREEN LAKE — The owners of Capitol Hill’s La Cocina Oaxaqueña have added a sibling in the similarly named Cocina Oaxaca, serving Mexican staples in the former Mio Sushi space. Yelp reviews thus far praise the restaurant’s shrimp tacos and fajitas. Other specialties include tlayudas (thin, crunchy tortillas topped with refried beans, lettuce or cabbage, avocado, and meat) and the Oaxacan stew, pozole. Status: Certified open. 7900 E Green Lake Drive N Suite 107.

July 24, 2018

Heritage Distilling Co. has added a Capitol Hill distillery and tasting room.

Adam H. Callaghan/Eater

BELLTOWN — Renovated Hotel Five has added a dining component called Pineapple Bistro and Bar, a nod to parent company Staypineapple. The restaurant features a slew of pineapple accents, new floors and furniture, and a rebuilt bar with 22 seats, huge TVs, and giant Scrabble. The menu includes themed drinks like the Pineapple Express with bourbon, caramelized pineapple puree, maraschino cherries, and club soda. Food ranges from customizable mac and cheese to sandwiches and snacks like barbecue pork sliders and buffalo chicken wings. Status: Certified open. 2200 5th Ave.

QUEEN ANNE — Matias Tona, who helped open Grappa in the same neighborhood, and his brother Kleon are now serving Mediterranean tapas and cocktails at their new restaurant, Dandylion, which also includes a private events space and “speakeasy bar” called the Den. The Tonas source local produce and plan to change the menu seasonally. Current dishes include meatballs with chimichurri sauce, chorizo with yogurt and potato chips, and squid with potato herb puree and saffron oil. Status: Certified open. 532 Queen Anne Ave. N.

CAPITOL HILL — Gig Harbor-based Heritage Distilling Co. now has a Capitol Hill location in addition to a recently opened Ballard expansion. The Capitol Hill tasting room also includes a distillery, bottling operation, and retail shop. Visitors can try flights of the company’s full lineup here, including its many award-winning flavored vodkas, gins, and whiskeys, as well as buy bottles and merchandise and take classes on cocktail-making. In the coming months, the company will add a private events space and overflow seating, too. Status: Certified open. 1201 10th Ave.

July 23, 2018

eneral Porpoise’s doughnuts overflow with custards, creams, and curds.

Suzi Pratt for Eater

LAURELHURST — Renowned chef Renee Erickson and her Sea Creatures restaurant group have opened their fourth General Porpoise doughnut shop. The new Laurelhurst cafe, near University Village, features a unique selection of coffee roasters and a full slate of sugar-coated doughnuts filled with a seasonal selection of jams, jellies, curds, custards, and creams, from classics like vanilla custard to less-common options like peanut butter and jelly or rose cream. Still to come: a General Porpoise location in Los Angeles. Status: Certified open. 4520 Union Bay Place NE.

CENTRAL DISTRICT — Kin Dee has opened at the corner of 23rd and Madison, serving Thai standards like pad Thai and panang curry along with a handful of street food dishes like steamed chicken with garlic ginger rice and a side of broth (kao mun gai), duck noodle soup, and five-spice pork shank. Yelp reviews so far are largely positive, with diners enjoying the hot basil with chicken, pumpkin curry, and tom yum soup. Status: Certified open. 2301 E Madison St.

CAPITOL HILL — Melrose Market has gained a wine bar and bottle shop called Marseille, near Sitka and Spruce. The focus here is trendy natural wines, made with minimal intervention, like orange wine. Marseille is also open for lunch, brunch, and dinner, serving plates like clams with fennel in leek broth, braised monkfish in an almond saffron sauce, and avocado toast topped with spring onion and pickled shrimp. Status: Certified open. 1531 Melrose Ave.

July 19, 2018

Asadero Mexican steakhouse has moved to a bigger location in Kent.

Asadero/FB

KENT — Popular Mexican steakhouse Asadero, which also has a busy Ballard address, has moved to a bigger location in Kent. Owner David Orozco’s restaurant now has room for 80 diners — twice as many as before. He’s kept the menu mostly the same, with a few enticing additions: prime carnita con chile (braised tenderloin with ranchero salsa), vacio Akaushi (Akaushi bavette steak served on a hot stone), and bone marrow gorditas (bone marrow and chopped steak in thick corn tortillas). Orozco is also opening a Tacoma location in early 2019. Status: Certified open. 310 Washington Ave. N.

SODO — Urban Works, the collection of warehouses in Sodo, has added a Patterson Cellars tasting room. It joins other tenants — mostly wineries — like Kerloo Cellars, Sleight of Hand Cellars, Schooner Brewing Company, and Nine Pies Pizzeria. This is the fourth location for Patterson, which also pours its “approachable New World wines” in Leavenworth and at two Woodinville locations. Status: Certified open. 3861-D 1st Ave. S.

WALLA WALLA — Chef Jason Wilson (Miller’s Guild, the Lakehouse) is giving Seattleites another reason to trek out to Eastern Washington with Eritage luxury resort and restaurant. It’s set on 300 acres surrounded by vineyards in Walla Walla — recently named “Wine Town” of the year by Sunset Magazine. Guests have access to 10 suites and a menu of locally sourced ingredients from the area’s farmers and ranchers, plus a local wine selection, of course. Wilson’s Fire and Vine restaurant group is also working on Walla Walla Steak Co. and Crossbuck Brewing nearby. Status: Certified open. 1319 Bergevin Springs Rd.

Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters GX Episode 62 Subbed (Finalized)

A New E-Hero! Neos

(Check out my Subbed!GX Stream Masterpost!)

A despondent Judai finds himself in hyperspace.  With the guidance of a strange yet friendly dolphin alien, Judai reunites with the cards he drew as a child which were launched into space by the Kaiba Corporation--but due to the power of the universe’s will, they became perfected cards.  Judai then duels a hostile space creature, and he begins to understand the concept of his new deck, which harnesses the power of Neo Space, a body of energy at the ends of the universe, to power up his Monsters.

Here’s a finalized!62 for you! Despite the randomness of Judai finding himself in a world 600 million miles away because of a shooting star crashing into him, this is an interesting episode that helps set up some overarching plot points we’ll see for the rest of the series, between Neo Space, the whole “power of righteous darkness” thing, and the concept of dark (good) vs light (evil) which doesn’t happen often.  We also get Judai’s mental fog due to the effect Saiou’s powers had on him clear up as he rediscovers the kid inside him, and--as a Japanese blog I looked up some lines on put it--”the start of the ‘Neos overuse’ legend,” lol.  Of course, this also sets up the next few “Judai’s lost” episodes, but we’ll see soon enough that there’s a reason for them.

Animation fix-wise, nothing to report here! (EDIT, 2021: That was a lie; one fix I came back to do under the cut!)

Enjoy, folks; I’ll be getting started on 63 soon, as Kenzan gets some time to shine, and everyone suddenly gets hungry...

FIXES!

As Judai uses Dandylion’s effect to summon his two Fluff Tokens, Cocoon Dolphina--visually in Defense Mode on the field--is in Attack Mode on Judai’s Disk in the panning shot to them.  I fixed it by first blanking the Zone in Photoshop, then placing a proxy in the Zone for one frame in AfterEffects before I re-panned that frame for the shot.

You are missing my point if you think I am saying "treat your animals like you are rich and give them far beyond minimal care or shove them into kill shelters who will give them less than you do."

I am literally talking about giving minimal care.

Also I am interested in exotic pets and have no wish to care for cats or dogs. And I am fully aware that a lot of shelters cant provide the needs of animals that are not cats and dogs.

You can rehome your animals on your own that takes time by joining pet forums in your area and spreading that you are searching for pet owners knowledgable of your specific animal. Plus, its super selfish and unfair to expect the pet you choose to own to adapt to less than their minimal care. My family and myself are poor as hell especially during the winter and yet we are able to budget and make sacrifices for the animals we chose to take into our homes.

I've had to get creative like sealing the edges of a tank lid with rolled up taped paper towals so my baby ksb cant escape. When I decided I wanted reptiles I did my research and got all the one time purchases of supplies bought over a stretch of time.

When I used to own a bunny I had him since I was maybe 10. And when I got old enough to realize his care was less than ideal I worked to buy him a larger cage, I took him out more often, and I got him hay. I worked hard to givr him minimal care in his old years because I had no options to give him up without risking telling my mom she is wrong about something.

I understand situations, but you can not ignore the needs of your animal and give up improving their lives under the assumption your animal can addapt to anything healthily and happily.

Edit/ rereading my op i do realize it sounds like im saying give them ther own room and own a large house for your animals. But what I mean is providing minimal needed space. Like not stuffing a rabbit in a cage they can barely take one step to eithet side in. And not putting a goldfish in a 5 gallon tank. And not putting a single rat in a "hamster cage".

@dandylion-puff

Saying you need to provide all the space and needs for a pet for them to be happy and healthy is not a classist statement.

Sure, not everyone has the space for a C&C cage for a guinea pig, or can afford one of those super tall ferret cages with levels for rats, but at that point you need to rehome your animal to someone who does have the space and money for that. It is selfish to keep your pet in bad conditions because youve decided that pet is for your mental health. I would honestly put neglecting animals under BAD COPING SKILLS at that point. Do your research and find a pet you can afford all the needs for and stop being selfish.

There is no excuse to keep an animal under subpar conditions. (Well I mean as long as you have control over that animals care and not a stubborn parrent who wont listen that is).

I am beyond tired of reading comments like “not everyone has the space or money” in responce to care sheets and posts educating about the correct environments for commonly neglected pets.

What is your current cube list!?!?!?!>!

Sorry it took so long to reply. Had some updating to do.If yo uare talking about my Magic The Gathering Cube you can find it on CubeTutor, it is like 95% done. I need to cut some black cards and fill in a few more rarity spots. But I have nobody to play with so no rush.http://www.cubetutor.com/viewcube/46304;jsessionid=2C05A19EA661EB1A898107213FF381A4

Seeing how I never talk about that one I would guess you are more likely talking about my Yugioh Cube. I have cut it down to 240 cards to be drafted by 4 people. Deck size is 30 cards for the main decks. It is drafted with each player getting 4 packs of 15 cards. Further I seed it so the first pack everyone gets 2 Extra deck cards and then the next 3 packs after that all have 1 Extra deck card. Here is the current full list below.

Another pic with a story to it.

Shianbon belongs to @karaoke-bomber

[Story is below cut.]

After being rescued by Tosukana and Shian from Devil siblings Dandylion and Hades, Aidoru II went off somewhere to clear his head before it was his turn to preform at the concert. Tosukana and Shian managed to find him on the balcony outside of the performance center, away from the view of his fangirls, and staring at the scenery. "Aidorubon! There you are!" Tosukana exclaimed.

Aidoru turned to them with a look of slight surprise. "Oh! Hey you two! I didn't expect anyone to find me here. How'd you manage to get up here anyway?"

"We told the guards your fangirls were causing a heck of a ruckus." Shian stated.

"Which wasn't entirely a lie." Tosukana added.

Aidoru chuckled. "I'm not too surprised. If you two want, you can hang out here, there's plenty of space next to me."

"A-Are you s-sure?" Tosukana stammered, cheeks redish-pink, because his crush was offering for him to hang out with him, he was trying very hard not squeal.

"I insist. You both did save me after all." Aidoru insisted with a soft smile.

Shian practically had to push Tosukana until he was next to him as Tucker was busy internally fanboying, then took the spot next to him. Once he got over his internal squealing and regained his composure, Tosukana asks him: "If you don't mind me asking, what are you doing up here? You're on in a couple minutes."

"I needed some peace." Aidoru turns to the scenery. "After what happened with the troublemakers, I needed some time for myself for a bit."

"Is that why you ran off?" Tosukana questioned.

Aidoru nods. "Well, it's one of the reasons why."

"Is the other reason the fangirls?" Shian inquired.

Aidoru chuckles and nods again. "Correct." He then went quiet for a bit. I have a question for you two."

"Yeah?" Tucker and Shian say in unison.

"You seem to get into trouble a lot with those Devil siblings, so tell me," He turns to them. "when they try stealing something, or someone, how do you handle, like, possibly failing to save said someone or something?"

"Easy, because we never lose! We beat them everytime!" Shian exclaimed with a wink and raised fist.

"Shianbon, that doesn't answer his question." Tosukana scolded, then paused in thought. "While she is right about us hardly losing, there is always a possibility of failure, however, I try push the thought of failure to the back of my mind. Yes, it is a worry I do have, but if I fret too much about possibly failing, it might actually cause me to fail."

Aidoru rested there quietly as he intently listened to Tosukana talk. "Does that make sense?" Tosukana asks him.

Aidoru nods. "It does, Tucker, if you don't mind calling you that, thank you."

Tosukana blushed. "N-No, I don't mind at all, you can call me whatever you want, my name is rather long anyway, and you're welcome."

Shian stifles a snicker. "Dork."

"I didn't get to say this as I did take off to before doing so to calm down. I must thank you two for saving me from my "Devilish" fans." Aidoru ends that with a chuckle.

Shian gives him a finger gun and a wink. "No problemo, dude!"

Tosukana rubs the back of his head bashfully. "It was no issue really, being a hero is a thing we do after all."

"As repayment for saving me, how would you two like to perform with me?" Aidoru asks them.

Tosukana's eyes widen and his blush deepens. "R-Really?! Pe-Perform...with you?!"

"It's the least I can offer." Aidoru says.

"Didn't you have a raffle or something that would pick who would perform with you?" Questioned Shian.

"Yes," Aidoru confirmed. "but I'll let my manager know that I have already picked out the winners, if you two want to accept my offer that is."

"Well, I prefer dancing over singing," Shian pats Tosukana's back. "But my bro Tucker here, he has a great singing voice, and even knows all of your songs!"

Tosukana swiftly turns to her, red-faced. "Shianbon!"

"You listen to all my songs, Tucker?" Aidoru inquires.

Tosukana twiddles his fingers. "We-Well, n-not all of them, m-maybe, but I-I know the lyrics pr-pretty well."

Aidoru smiles. "Then you wouldn't mind performing with me?"

"I-If you want me to." Tosukana stammered.

Aidoru stands up. "I guess it's settled." He walks towards the balcony's doors leading back inside the Performance Center. "I'll be waiting for you in my dressing room, and I'll let my manager know I have chosen a winner. I'm positive you'll do great on stage, Tucker." With that, he exits the balcony.

Once he was out of earshot, Tosukana began freaking out. "Ohmygosh ohmygosh OHMYGOSH! I can't believe this is HAPPENING!"

Shian chuckles. "You're welcome for making your dream come true, I guess you were right in bringing me along after all!" She notices he's shaking. "Bro, are you gonna be alright?"

"I'm going to need you to catch me...and a minute afterwards." Shian was about to ask what he meant when he lets out a small gasp and suddenly faints and falls backwards, luckily she did catch him before he hit the floor. "Yeah, I think you do need a sec."
