With the COVID numbers slowly rising again (unfortunately), that's got me thinking of a question I wanted to ask...

If COVID took place in the HypMic universe, how would your OC's handle it? Would they slowly go insane from being trapped indoors? Would they develop an unhealthy drinking/smoking habit? Or would they be perfectly fine?

It’s sad to say Yuuya would be the most affected in the group. Although he has loads of hobbies that can enjoy at home, he is still an outdoor person who craves human interactions at heart (That’s why he loves part-time jobs and tends to have many different ones every week). He doesn’t have any problem with online schooling, but to be alone for a great amount of time will distress him greatly even if he does understand the circumstance and make sure to properly follow the safety regulations. Besides, he is the type to be worried about the well-being of other people in general, so this pandemic would definitely give him a lot of internal struggles. Therefore, he is likely to cope with this by being more active on online platforms such as Zoom, PROFILE, or etc. But as soon as he manages to adjust himself (with some help from his friends, his teammates, and his furry roommate) …he too, would be able to find peace at home from some small projects like working on his music tracks and trying out new DIY ideas. 

And for Asahi; despite his childlike personality, he is surprisingly handling things well during the pandemic. Even so, it isn’t to say that he won’t be bothered by too many regulations and the lower influx of customers at his family store. Since he has a family business to run and has two elderly people at high risk of developing serious symptoms at home, he has to get busier and be more cautious about many things. Aside from that, the difficulties are going to make him discover his own forte —Other people may not be aware about this, but Asahi is crazily good at marketing… You can see that he has already done a lot of promoting stuff via the birthday events of other divisions. Along with his own creativity to boot, he will soon take this opportunity to try many more methods to help promoting his store. Maybe he will try online marketing, maybe he’ll learn to use social media for his own benefits, maybe he’ll just get more invested in his hobbies (making handicrafts, embroideries), Asahi in his productive mode with lots of free time is something unstoppable. By the way, he is concerned about his friends too! He is probably the first one to reach out and find a way to brighten them up without knowing.

Lastly, Saigo-san… He is the least affected from quarantine and all sorts of regulations. And to be utmost honest, the idea of social-distancing rather sounds like a blessing to him. He used to work at home from the very beginning so he has no problem with it. Getting less paid because of the reduction of clients? Nah, that won’t be a problem since he already has a lot saved up from the past and he also has another way of income (he plays stocks). He just gets a job as the property appraiser because he is bored and that’s all. Moreover, he dislikes getting outside of his mansion unless it’s neccessary. The most appealing things for him to do during the pandemic are reading something from his mansion’s library, keeping up to date with the worldwide circumstances, and maybe doing some research on something that piques his interest. He may even use this chance to find out more about other rival divisions in order to plan things ahead for his team. 

Thanks for the ask :)

Yuriko is following every COVID regulation to a tee. She wears her mask and washes her hands. Yuriko even sanitizes herself before she returns home. Sadly even if it might not be her area of expertise she’d take on extra hours to deal with the overload in the morgue. 

Kaoru I'm afraid isnt going to notice for the first month. Even when she does notice well she’s not going to care much. She’s already holed up in her lab a lot of the time anyway being in quarantine won't bother her one bit. 

Kanra is bored out of her mind. Sure she has online schooling to work but it won't take her long to finish. She would spend a lot of her time in the kitchen just cooking and would probably start a baking show ala Rosanna Pansino style because she’s just that bored.

Kanon doesn't really care besides maybe studying the disease. Give her a week and she’ll come out with her version of a vaccine that’ll kill the disease faster than what's currently available. Sadly Kanon is keeping it for herself and her teammates. 

Reika is glad she doesn't have to go to any social gatherings for a while at least. That doesn't mean she’s quarenting herself up her manor. She immediately starts to work on providing relief for hospitals making sure they have enough supplies. She’s also helping those most affected by the city shutting down such as small businesses and the like. 

The first thing Sakura does is temporarily halt all activities for the Kito-gumi and forces all her men to go through a mandatory 2-week quarantine. Then it's back to business although the Kito-gumi are now strictly following COVID regulations. Sakura isn't entirely cruel though if any of her men catch COVID they get paid sick leave and all their medical bills are covered by the Kito-gumi.

Akihisa isnt bothered being in quarantine one bit. He for obvious reasons rarely leaves the house so really this isn't a change for him. However, he does have to deal with Touya and Rintaro when they’re bored, and to be honest someone save that man. 

Touya is already losing what little bit of sanity he has left. He can't visit any of his favorite stores. The only way he can talk to people is through a screen. He can’t even get laid. So yeah Touya is constantly on the edge of throwing a tantrum. Thankfully his teammates can survive one of his tantrums most people usually don’t. 

In the beginning, Rintaro would be alright but as time went on he would get more and more antsy. He’ll even try picking up a hobby to calm down but it won't be enough. So he turns to the only thing that will. Setting shit on fire. He does try to restain himself though he doesn't want to set the house on fire. The backyard tho? It’s covered in burn spots.

[kanazawa-division]

It was early afternoon when a certain former cheerleader picked up Kyler from his job at the police station. Beside her was her boyfriend, who had a small, yet still viewable smirk on his face. The reason: because of a white cloth that he used to disable the CIA operative's vision. Normally, he would have refused, but after Evelyn insisted, he begrudgingly cooperated.

"I hope you know I'm only doing this because of Evelyn. Under ordinary circumstances, I'd never let anyone blindfold me like this. ...Especially you of all people, Ace."

"Oh, I know. That's why I'm choosing to enjoy this as long as I can."

Kyler grunted as he could practically feel and see the shit-eating grin on his friendly rival's face. Being led from behind by Evelyn, he stopped as she placed his hands on his shoulders and was told to 'watch his head'. Bending down, he could feel himself getting inside a vehicle. He could only surmise that Ace was the one driving since he couldn't recall Evelyn ever driving anywhere. Did she even have a license for that matter?

But those thoughts ended as he could feel the car start and drive on. He sighed as he heard some cheesy pop song and heard Evelyn singing to it. As he sat there in the back seat, he could feel his eyelids getting itchy, no doubt due to the cloth covering his eyes.

"Hey, can I take this blindfold off now?"

"No."

"No!"

Kyler sighed once more, though he didn't know what other answer he was expecting.

"Well, can you at least tell me where we're going?"

"If we did that Kylie, it'd, like, ruin the surprise!"

"Yeah, but still..."

"Cool your jets, birthday boy. You'll see when we get there. Just sit back and enjoy the ride."

"Tch, if it's you driving, I'd be better off taking my chances walking."

"You want to? Cause I can stop the car. It's no trouble, whatsoever."

"Yes, please do."

"Hey!"

At this, both men felt one of their ears being pulled tightly, as if they had reverted back to their childhood.

"Ah!"

"No fighting! Not, like, today! It's Kyler's birthday, Acey. So, be nice!"

"Ugh, yeah, yeah."

Rubbing both of their ears, the two men chose to just keep quiet, while their female compatriot continued singing along with the radio. It was approximately a 45-minute long drive until the car finally slowed to a stop.

"We're here!"

Hearing the back door open, Kyler carefully stepped out of the car, being guided by Evelyn.

"Yes, but... where is here?"

Kyler could smell and hear the ocean, so he could only surmise that he was near the beach. And if he was a betting man, he could only educate that he and his friends were now in Okinawa.

"Stay here, okay? I gotta go make sure everything is, like, set up!"

Before he could say anything, he heard a pamper of feet getting further off in the distance, meaning he was alone with just his "oh-so-good friend" Ace, still blindfolded.

"So you are going to let me in on what this big surprise is exactly?"

"There's a reason it's called a 'surprise'., birthday boy."

"Well, can I, at least, take this stupid blindfold off now? I already know that we're in Okinawa."

"Hey, feel free to take it off. But if Evelyn gets upset at you, don't look to me for help."

Grumbling, the CIA official stood there his arms crossed. He could feel Ace standing somewhere around him, but the diplomat was silently playing with his phone, not paying his childhood rival much attention. They stood like that for up to three minutes until Kyler heard a slight vibrating sound close to him. He then felt Ace's car shake as the American ambassador hopped off of it.

"Alright, Evee says she's ready. Follow me."

...

"...Well?"

"How do you expect me to follow you when I can't see, genius?"

"Aren't you a CIA operative? Just put those handy skills of yours to use and follow my voice."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"...Ugh, fine. Give me your hand."

Though he really didn't want to, Kyler obeyed, holding his left hand out for Ace to take. With that, the diplomat led the operative to their 'secret' destination. After a brief walk, Ace told Kyler to 'stop' as he stepped away. The investigator heard the sound of a door opening and was once again led. He felt a rush of cool air hit him, which told him that he was inside a building. Feeling his hand being let go, Kyler then felt the bandana on his face come unloose. He was prepared to see light again, but to his surprise, it was dark even inside the building.

...That is, until Ace gave the 'thumbs-up' to someone, which prompted the lights to turn back on. As it did, the next thing Kyler heard was:

SURPRISE!!!

Kyler jumped back as he looked at a group of his friends and acquaintances all jumped out of their hiding places in Eagle's Nest. Namely: Evelyn, Rashaad, Joey, Wataru, and a few others from Kanazawa that he had worked with. Still surprised, Kyler looked as the bar was decorated with balloons, party planners, a banner with his name on it, and the piece de resistance, a birthday cake, which made the CIA operative shake his head with a grin.

He smiled as Joey continued singing 'Happy Birthday' until Wataru promptly told him to 'shut it'. He then looked as all the members of the Liberty Guild gifted him something for his birthday:

From Rashaad, it was a gold and black cigarette holder that made Kyler blink, surprised. Looking at it from all sides, he promptly thanked the bartender, promising to reciprocate.

From Evelyn, it was a watch with a thin blue line on it. Slipping it on, Kyler smiled as it was a perfect fit for his wrist. He promptly thanked his childhood friend, who gave him a small kiss on the cheek as thanks.

Lastly, the last gift was from Ace, which put Kyler on his guard, as he suspected something mean-spirited from the diplomat. Rolling his eyes, the American ambassador simply handed him his gift. Looking at it, Kyler, at first, thought it was a book of some sort. Upon opening it, he looked as it was a photo holder. But what made it even more special was that inside it was a picture of him and the most important person in his world, his finance, Roxanne. Though he came close to crying, he managed to hold it in, refusing to cry, especially in front of his rival. Giving him a 'thanks', he turned around, still staring at the picture of the love of his life.

...God, he missed her...

Kyler looked around as he took a bite from the piece of his birthday cake that had been nicely cut by Rashaad, his cheeks were staring to hurt from how long he had been smiling but honestly who wouldn’t? Granted he knew Evelyn was gonna pull something like this sooner or later but it still warmed his heart to know and see that his childhood friend still cares a great deal about him even after all the years that had passed.

He was also grateful for his new friends too and Ace but not as much, he shook his head fondly as he watched Joey wearing two party hats as horns on his head and trying to put a party hat on Wataru’s head, who looked like he was getting more annoyed by the second with Rashaad trying to keep the peace.

Truth be told, Kyler never thought he could end up like this. Surrounded by friends and people that cared about him, things were bad when he woke up from his coma and had gotten progressively worse afterwards, the blonde agent didn’t want to admit it but there had been times where he wanted to give up, that he couldn’t go on anymore…

But then he thought of parents, of Evelyn and his friends, of-

A buzzing sensation brought him out of his thoughts, fishing out his phone from his pocket, Kyler looked to see who exactly would be calling him before his eyes widen upon seeing the caller ID “Roxie ❤️”. Excusing himself and telling everyone he’ll be right back, Kyler headed towards the bathroom before answering the call.

“Happy Birthday, Kyler, baby! I love you!”

“I love you too Roxie, so much. Thank you.”

Thank you for the gift!

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?

BATTLE OF PRIDE (DekaDynasty Ver.)

(Welcome to the division)

Battle of Pride

H.Y.P.N.O.S.I.S. Mic!

Battle of Pride

[Aranai:]

(Battle of Pride!)

Pedal to the metal, my throttle's full of sin

The HBIC is on the mic, born to ride and born to win!

Adrenaline junkie, my rhymes hit like an f'ing spike

Revvin' up the crowd, this is the kind of life that I like!

[Shisuta:]

In prayerful whispers, my rhymes rise to the skies

A servant of the Word, in truth, without disguise

Through trials and tribulations, His strength I rehearse

A humble messenger, with the gospel in verse

[Kisouna:]

In the court or on the streets, my verdict resounds

With scales of justice, I'm Ueno's guardian hound

No crime goes unpunished, on my watch, no fallacy

"Guilty!" I proclaim, for all who challenge me!

[Sakurai Clan:]

Bounce, bounce, make it bounce, make it bounce, bounce

Sakurai Clan shakes the stage and makes it bounce, bounce!

[Ryuko:]

From the underworld's shadow to the animator's light

I sketch out my fury, frame by frame, fight by fight

Ink flows like blood, my past a dark art, each stroke a battle scar

On this canvas of beats, I tear fuckin' mics apart!

[Maki:]

In the lecture hall of life, I'm the professor of truth

Dispensing worldwide knowledge, enlightening the youth

Each stanza crafted with care, a hidden rebel's call

Challenging the regime, without fear I stand tall

[Shuu:]

From the darkest secrets to the sweetest truth

Men-H's eyes see all, uncovering the proof

In this game of lies, I'll always find the way

For the broken hearts, I promise, I will make the guilty pay

[Sazanka Zombeez:]

Bounce, bounce, make it bounce, make it bounce, bounce

Sazanka Zombeez shakes the stage and makes it bounce, bounce!

[Nadya:]

In the quiet before dawn, Oculus' vision forms

Vipera's strike awaits, as the silent storm transforms

[Meari:]

Screaming into the void, my lyrics carve a fucking path

Bloody Mary's reflection, a testament to my wrath!

[Aika:]

Ohh, I feel the pleasure building, it's so much I just can't take it!

One more push and I'll be free, primed and ready to release~

[Oculus:]

Bounce, bounce, make it bounce, make it bounce, bounce

Oculus shakes the stage and makes it bounce, bounce!

[Chorus:]

(Battle of Pride!)

Let's start this showtime

Sparks flying in this fight

Do not cross, out of control

We're locking it down

Bounce, bounce, make it bounce

Make it bounce, bounce

Scorching the floor with one verse

(Battle of Pride)

Proving we’re alive

No way we're afraid

Writing our own legend

We’re snagging our glory here

Bounce bounce make it bounce

Make it bounce bounce

Bet your everything and survive

The rule is just to

Bounce bounce bounce

It's kill or be killed so

Bounce bounce bounce

Battle of Pride

[Sayaka:]

With wings of hope, I cradle my dearest kin

Rhopalocera's grace; this is where my love begins

For Saitama's soul and my daughters' bright gleams

I will stand as a beacon even in the darkest dreams

[Lola:]

Aphrodite's charm, the world's envy and desire

In Femme Fatale's glow, I set all hearts on fire

Crowned in beauty's grace, I'm Japan's finest queen

My allure transcends in every possible scene

[Kureha:]

In the twilight's embrace, Eclipse paints the night

With strokes of darkness where stars lose their light

A silent void whispers in the moon's gentle sway

Art's somber echo as the world fades away

[Femme Fatale:]

Bounce, bounce, make it bounce, make it bounce, bounce

Femme Fatale shakes the stage and makes it bounce, bounce!

[Ryūzō:]

In the realm of shadows where feelings reside

A killer's heart beats strong, though in darkness we hide

A shadow's essence, more than what it seems

Life's not about finding, but creating our dreams

[Takumi:]

With GUTS and fire, we can all embrace the day!

Youth's power ignites in every single way

Never give up, always strive to be the best

Because today's efforts will help build tomorrow's success!

[Kotono:]

In the chaos of life, this educator finds her way

With a drink in one hand, and a bet to play

From a laboratory to a classroom, her path is so wide

Do not take life too seriously, just enjoy the ride! (Come on!)

[Kiya Kara:]

Bounce, bounce, make it bounce, make it bounce, bounce

Kiya Kara shakes the stage and makes it bounce, bounce!

[Yuuya:]

In Nara's embrace, where summer dreams ignite

Cherish every moment before they all fade from your sight!

[Asahi:]

In spring's serene beauty, my art of wagashi unfolds

Chase your dreams, like tales of old, where real courage molds

[Saigo:]

In winter's chill, where truth's cold light prevails

Tsukumogami's words cut deep, like icy gales

[Miraitabi:]

Bounce, bounce, make it bounce, make it bounce, bounce

Miraitabi shakes the stage and makes it bounce, bounce!

[Chorus:]

(Battle of Pride!)

Let's start this showtime

Sparks flying in this fight

Do not cross, out of control

We're locking it down

Bounce, bounce, make it bounce

Make it bounce, bounce

Scorching the floor with one verse

(Battle of Pride)

Proving we’re alive

No way we're afraid

Writing our own legend

We’re snagging our glory here

Bounce bounce make it bounce

Make it bounce bounce

Bet your everything and survive

The rule is just to

Bounce bounce bounce

It's kill or be killed so

Bounce bounce bounce

Battle of Pride

[Anika:]

In the realm of minds, I help to guide the way

Words of wisdom and misdirection, breaking habits' sway

From racing tracks to healing hearts anew

Transforming lives, young and old, where fresh journeys ensue

[Shian:]

The thrill of the chase, it's adrenaline's rush

Breaking through barriers, in the hunt is where I crush

Running free, no chains in the world can bind my stride

In the pursuit, my purpose I find (Ready or Not!)

[Makina:]

You're in my world now where pixels come alive

Controller in hand, this is the place that I thrive

Connection binds us. Break me? You can't!

In this digital realm, my spirit will not recant

[Pixel Syndicate:]

Bounce, bounce, make it bounce, make it bounce, bounce

Pixel Syndicate shakes the stage and makes it bounce, bounce!

[Azusa:]

In the eye of the mind on the battlefield, focus is the key to victory

Samurai's cunning and wisdom, guiding me throughout history

With the great Tomoe Gozen's spirit, I strive to uphold

Living and dying, so their legacy remains bold

[Fleuret:]

In a world of greed and deceit, I stand with pride

Honor's my shield, with knights and majesty standing by my side

Heritage and art, woven in every rhyme I create

Upholding my legacy, through the sands of time, I navigate

[Eldrid:]

In the face of fear and doubt, courage must rise high

Valkyrie's spirit soaring beneath the endless sky

Managing fear with bravery's unwavering might

Fighting forward through the brightest day and the blackest night!

[Blade Maiden:]

Bounce, bounce, make it bounce, make it bounce, bounce

Blade Maiden shakes the stage and makes it bounce, bounce!

[SOUR BOMB:]

Get ready for the blast, everybody!

[Tetsuya:]

The BOMB's here, causing chaos steady

[Min:]

With style and flair, we light up the night

[Minato:]

In this dystopian world, we shine so bright

[Tetsuya:]

Min, Minato, are you ready to ignite?

[Min & Minato:]

Yeah, we're ready, with courage in sight

[Tetsuya:]

Defeat is always in our grasp?

That's the biggest misconception!

[Min:]

Reality's an illusion, but we make it real

[Minato:]

Prepare your hearts for the explosion

[SOUR BOMB:]

Bounce, bounce, make it bounce, make it bounce, bounce

SOUR BOMB shakes the stage and makes it bounce, bounce!

[Akihisa:]

From the deepest shadows emerges a force so dark

Bound together by chains, we ignite the loud spark

In this twisted world, we bring not order but chaos

No mercy for the wicked, prepare yourselves for Katsushika

From the shadows, Azrael’s scythe will reap all

[Touya:]

Sweetheart’s blade strikes out like (Slash! Slash! Slash!)

[Rintaro:]

For your fucking sins and terror, the goddamn Bomber will end you now!

[Akari:]

In the flames of hell, Cinder's wrath will burn you all down

[Akihisa:]

Trapped in bondage, but still we rise

[Touya:]

You lose, no savior

[Rintaro:]

Will you face your doom or beg for mercy?

[Akari:]

What will it be? Now choose your fate

[Death Row Block:]

Bounce ba-ba bounce

Death Row Block shakes the stage and makes it bounce, bounce!

(Welcome to the division, a line-up full of icons)

[Azusa:]

Balance the world with a warrior's fight

[Anika:]

Watch this trio light up the night

[Ryūzō:]

Shadows will consume the light

[Sayaka:]

Unveil the secrets hidden in plain sight

[Ryuko:]

Unleash chaos with every beat

[Aranai:]

The flames of the uprise ignite the street

[DekaDynasty:]

Hypnosis Mic, activated

It resounds--bang a gong

Unrivaled rhyme and flow

A last chapter for this revolt of words

(Battle of Pride)

[Chorus:]

Let's start this showtime

Sparks flying in this fight

Do not cross, out of control

We're locking it down

Bounce, bounce, make it bounce

Make it bounce, bounce

Scorching the floor with one verse

(Battle of Pride)

Proving we’re alive

No way we're afraid

Writing our own legend

We’re snagging our glory here

Bounce bounce make it bounce

Make it bounce bounce

Bet your everything and survive

The rule is just to

Bounce bounce bounce

It's kill or be killed so

Bounce bounce bounce

The rule is just to

Bounce bounce bounce

It's kill or be killed so

Bounce bounce bounce

Battle of Pride

Battle of Pride!

[taito-division]

Thank you all!

I'd like to thank everyone who took time out to wish Azusa a very happy birthday on today and yesterday. I apologize for getting to these gifts so late, but issues in real life kept me from answering them right away so I decided to do it all today. I apologize for the wait, and I thank you all for your patience. I hope you'll show Eldrid the same love on her birthday coming up at the beginning of next month. Hopefully, I'll get to her gifts a lot quicker than Azusa's. Until then!

-

Azusa stands in the soft glow of her dojo, the quiet clink of her sword charm necklace breaking the silence. She bows deeply, her eyes reflecting the calm dignity she's known for.

"Today, as the sun sets on another year, I find myself surrounded not by the echoes of clashing swords, but by the warmth of countless well-wishes. It's a different kind of battle, one fought with kindness and generosity, and I am honored to be at the heart of it."

She straightens up, her gaze steady and serene.

"I've always believed that the art of kendo is not just about the sword—it's about balance, within and without. Your messages, your gifts, they've added to that balance, bringing joy to my day. For someone who dedicates her life to teaching discipline and focus, it's a rare gift to be reminded of the softer, gentler battles we fight."

A small, genuine smile graces her lips.

"So, from the depths of my warrior's heart, thank you. Each word, each token, has been a strike of fortune, a blow of good will. As the clock ticks towards midnight, I carry your kindness with me, a treasure more valuable than any victory in the dojo."

She gives a final, graceful bow.

"May your paths be true, your spirits strong, and your hearts brave. Until our next encounter, be it in battle or in celebration, I bid you peace."

Azusa turns, her silhouette framed by the doorway, the charm necklace catching the last light of day as she walks out, leaving a trail of quiet gratitude in her wake.

Jack’s Thoughts on Taito Division

Azusa Furukawa

“Afraid to say I’m not acquainted with Ms. Furukawa. A pretty face, however. I can’t help but feel as though I’m going to hear a long list of demands involving this woman however… A kendo instructor mixing with my master? No doubt the young master will damage my sanity.”

Fleuret Oshiro

“Apologies, I’m not too familiar with Ms. Oshiro either. Well, not personally. Her relationship with Mr. Busujima was something I had nearly forgotten about until her name appeared here in the Taito division list. Names are something I've taken the care of remembering, despite the change in my servitude. Ah, but it’s nothing for Ms. Oshiro to concern herself about. I am no longer working with the Japanese government with the lady of the family long gone. So I should not pose a threat to her or her partner. Still, I wonder what sort of troubles Ms. Oshiro has had dating what is essentially a wanted man... If you are listening Ms. Oshiro, J'aimerais te connaître davantage. Tu es si intéressante.”

Eldrid Iwasaki

“MMA is… Something I’m somewhat familiar with. I can’t say I’m too interested in the sport like Mrs. Iwasaki is. I believe I have stated somewhere before that boxing is my preference for combat. Using my arms is something I take quite a bit of pride in. Though, I suppose I could work a little more on my legs. As shameful as it is to say, but I have been lacking in my exercise as of late. This D.R.B. stuff has been a handful… I wonder if Mrs. Iwasaki has experienced the same issue juggling her career, the competition, and her spouse.”

Blade Maiden

“A striking name indeed. I cannot say which of us has the upper hand in this division rap battle… Well, Taito division has more experience than I or my young master. We do, however, have the advantage of having a man who is experienced in both the art and technology of using hypnosis microphones… We will just have to see, hm?”

Chiyuri - ☃️

🏠 How does your OC's home look during the holiday season? Do they go all out with their decorations, making sure that their house is the most brightly lit one on the block? Or do they just hang a wreath on the door and call it a day?

It’s been 8 years since this old man got to celebrate Christmas, so naturally he goes all out in decorating his apartment! Having a lot of money with him he casually blows it up on any super expensive decor he could lay his hands on!

…no, he doesn’t live under the same roof as his wife and kids all thanks to his in-laws.

🎶 [Does your OC love the traditional holiday music that comes on at this time of the year? Why or why not? Do they have a particular favorite that gets them into the holiday spirit? Or do they just dislike how each song sounds the same, and they don't hesitate to play another song?]

He doesn’t. He’ll put on an pair of headphones during the season and goes about his day, though he takes any hot trash music his guild friends play whenever they all meet up.

☃️ [Does your OC enjoy the winter time? Do they like going outside and playing in the snow, building snowmen, having snowball fights, etc.? Or do they prefer to stay inside where its warm?]

He prefers staying inside with the warmth of his two housemates and hot chocolate as he’s not fond of the cold it reminds him of the laboratories. They don’t have a fireplace in the sharehouse but they do have one of those portable room heaters around!

Thanks for the ask and happy holidays!

[minato-division03]

Though it was days since her birthday had passed, that didn't necessarily mean that the woman known only as "Queen Card" would stop receiving gifts. Despite being one of the most secretive people, not only in the D.R.B., but in Japan, period, that naturally made a lot of people curious about her. Ironically, this also made her a lot more popular, due in no small part to her already well-known reputation as a stage magician and a detective.

As stated, it came as no surprise to the woman in question when she received a package in her mail one afternoon. She didn't need to look inside to know that, judging from the texture and shape of the item in the wrapping paper, it was a bottle of liquor. And only one person could have the gall to send her a bottle of liquor for her birthday twice in a row.

"Rashaad," Queen Card stated, shaking her head, not sure whether to thank the man in question for the amount of spirits she sent her on an annual basis, or to curse him for it. Deciding on the former, she unwrapped the packaging paper and looked at the bottle underneath it.

It was a bottle of Crown Royal: Apple. A 23-year-old bottle of Crown Royal: Apple. A bottle like this was, at best, worth about 250 U.S. dollars. Queen Card wasn't as interested in the price of the bottle as she was the flavor of it, though. Though there were few things she would openly admit about herself, one thing only a few people knew about her is that she had a particular fondness for apples. So for Rashaad to send her something like this... it wasn't unappreciated.

Looking at the box that it came it, she wasn't surprised to find a letter attached to the outside. Picking it up, she read it.

'Dear Queen Card,

A very 'happy birthday' to you! I apologize for delivering this so late after your birthday had passed, but unfortunately, I was told by the shipping company that it wouldn't get here in time for your birthday. Still, I hope you enjoy it, regardless. I know you have a particular fondness for apples and such, so I made sure to get you the best apple liquor that I could find. I hope you enjoy it thoroughly. Thank you again for always entertaining the crowds at Eagle's Nest whenever you stop by. It is always greatly appreciated. Looking forward to seeing you back there again.

Sincerely,

Rashaad Young'

“Bastard,” Queen Card mumbled as she slapped the letter on her coffee table.

She plopped on her couch in her office, giving the bottle of liquor in front of her a thorough examination.

She sat up and ran her slender fingers along the bottle, feeling the grooves and indentations on the bottle.

Perhaps on our next company night out, it would be a good idea to share this beauty with the rest of the therm.

Thanks for the gift!

[edogawa-division]

The day was coming to an end, but the celebration for one 'Kanra Akemi' wasn't over yet. The doorbell to her residence rang out for perhaps the millionth time today, signaling that someone was here to wish her a 'happy birthday' or drop something off. ...Or perhaps all three. The matriarch of the household, Yuriko Kuromiya, looked out the door and sighed at what was in front of her.

"Kanra!" She called, making the birthday girl appear in front of her. Without a word, the mother pointed to a bunch of boxes and bags placed in front of the doorway.

"Yay, more presents!" Kanra exclaimed, as she easily picked up everything and brought them all into the living room. Without a word, she began opening up the tallest of the group first. Inside was a pair of boxing equipment, no doubt sent by a certain MMA fighter from Taitō. Pulling it out, it looked somewhat like the type that Yuriko had in her gym when she made her and Kaoru practice. Although this equipment was in much better shape.

Pulling it out, she found a letter taped onto the bag.

Happy birthday, kiddo! Hope you're having a good one! I would have been there in person, but MMA schedules can be a pain sometimes. Anyway, I bought this boxing equipment for you so you can practice on your own on days when we don't train together. And don't worry if you bust the bag or something. It's insured, so if you break it, it can easily be replaced. So go nuts, girl! Again, hope you're having a good one! See you next time for practice!

Your trainer,

Eldrid Iwasaki

P.S. Don't forget those music discs at the bottom of the box. One of them is from Azusa and the other's from Fleuret. I'm sure you can guess which is from who.

Looking back in the box, Kanra saw two CDs at the bottom: one for meditation and the other full of classical songs.

"These are interesting," Yuriko said, looking at the discs, mainly the one on meditation. "I'll have be to sure to use this one for after training."

Kanra was too busy looking at the boxing gloves and heavy bag to respond, eager to try them out. She made a mental note not to go too crazy with them since they were a gift from her trainer. Putting them to the side, she turned to her other gifts. Opening one of her boxes, she looked as it contained a bunch of dresses, all of which fit her aesthetic. Pulling them all out, she found three more items: a makeup kit, which looked to be quite expensive, an American rock CD, and a cake covered with dozens of fruits. It was covered with thin wrapping to prevent any of the cream from getting off of it onto the outfits.

On top of one of the dresses, was another letter from a certain American model, which read:

Happy birthday, Kanra! Hope you are, like, having a good one! I went clothes shopping in Harajuku the other day and I, like, saw these outfits which automatically made me think of you. Thankfully, it was your birthday, which gave me, like, an excuse to buy them. I managed to get Acey and Rashaad to get you some gifts too. Rashaad was easy to convince, but Acey... let's just say he can be, like, verrrry stubborn! But he managed to get you something, at least! Hope you are having a good one! Make sure you try those outfits out! They weren't, like, cheap! Luv you!

Signed,

Evelyn Rose

P.S. Make sure you share that makeup kit with, like, your sister. After seeing the rings in her eyes once, Heaven knows she, like, needs it!

“They aren’t that bad are they?” Kaoru questioned touching her face. 

“I don't know Kaoru when was the last time you slept?” 

“Uhhhh…. Thursday?”

“Kaoru that was six days ago” Yuriko admonished 

“Evelyn-san was right you do need this.” Kanra opened the makeup kit walking forward to the lavender-haired inventor intending on covering the dark circle on Kaoru's face. 

“Oi Kanra! Yuriko stop her!” Kaoru begged running from the pink-haired teen who began chasing after her. 

“Hmmm? I could've sworn I heard someone say something.”

“Betrayed and abandoned by my own mother!”

“We wouldn't have to do this if you go more sleep Kaoru!”

[shizuokadivision]

Though there were still a few hours left in the day, it was slowly winding down as Reika's birthday had only a few hours left before the entire city of Shizuoka would be filled with the colors of pink, red, white, and other lovey-dovey colors. Sighing, the woman in question, lied down on her sofa in her bathrobe, showing that she had just finished a relaxing, stress-free bath, which did wonders for her psyche. She felt nothing could ruin this moment.

Of course, she was proven wrong as the doorbell to the house rang out, making her frown. She normally would have a servant answer it, but she remembered she gave them all the night off for her birthday since she didn't want to be bothered. Sighing, she paused the show she was watching and reluctantly stood up from her sofa, walking to the door. She didn't care that she was in her robe. If anyone had a problem with it, they could take it up with her pet snake, Kiyohime, who was slithering behind her.

Peeping through the peephole, she looked as it was a delivery man, holding a box. Rolling her eyes, she opened the door and looked as the man smiled a fake smile.

"Package for Miss Aichi," he stated, holding a computer screen to sign, which she did. He then handed a wooden box to her, nodded, and walked off. She was somewhat surprised that he didn't bother doing anything perverted to her. Was the sight of her snake behind her the reason? Or was she, perhaps, losing her touch?

Shaking her head at such ludicrousness, she looked at the box in her hands and opened it as she looked at what was inside. Her eyes grew slightly wide at what was inside.

"A bottle of Romanee-St-Vivant?" Reika questioned, looking at it. It was shocking, to say the least. One bottle of this wine costs up to, at least, $4000, meaning it wasn't cheap. Of course, if she really wanted this, she could easily purchase it, or have her friend, Sakura, smuggle it for her. However, she never had cause to as she had plenty of other important things on her mind.

Looking at the bottle once more, it didn't have anyone's name on it, but a note on it simply read,

'Happy birthday from the Eagle's Nest.'

Reika set down the note and placed the bottle on the counter. While she usually preferred stronger liquor Reika could appreciate a good wine here and there. She couldn't help but wonder where was Rashaad hiding this? God knows how people would steal the bottle for a drink or to sell it. Perhaps she’ll ask Rashaad next time she went to the Eagle’s Nest. Pulling out her phone Reika dialed a number and placed it on speaker mode.

“Reika?”

“Oi Sakura. Go get Kanon and come over. I just got sent some good wine.”

“Kanon is gonna bitch about this.”

“Tell her I have some of those expensive raspberry-filled chocolates she likes. Oh, pack bags too.”

“Bags?” 

“The two of you are spending the night. I have to make sure the two of you are presentable for tomorrow's gala. Kanon more so than you. It’s going to take forever to get rid of the scent of blood and chemicals clinging on to her.”

“Kanon is going to kill you the moment you try putting her in a dress.”

“That’s a problem for future me. So you coming or not?”

“Give me 30.”

[katsushika-division]

Akihisa sighed as he sat on his living room couch, a glass of cold whiskey in his hands. He was glad this day was almost over with. Soon, Touya would be too exhausted to be awake, Rintaro would go take a smoke and the balcony, and Akari would probably get started making breakfast for everyone to eat in the morning. Taking another sip of the alcoholic beverage, he sighed, strangely in a good mood. That was quickly ruined by the knocking of the front door, however.

Knowing full well nobody else would be bothered to get up and get it, he sat his glass down, stood up from the couch and walked to the door. Opening the door, he looked as it was a simple deliveryman who, with all smiles, stated he had a package for 'Akihisa Mashiro', which made the man in question raise his eyebrows. Signing off on it, he took the package inside.

Opening it, the former assassin looked at what was inside, his eyebrows raised. It was a CD of opera music. He had always appreciated opera, even when he was a child. It was something his mother, one of only two women in his entire life that he could he say 'I love you' too, adored. Looking at some of the names listed on the cover, some of them he knew, while others were foreign to him.

He contemplated putting it on, knowing that Rintaro would probably start bitching since he couldn't appreciate the brilliance that was opera. Shrugging, not really caring what that hothead thought, he walked over to the living room radio, popped the CD in, pressed 'Play' and sat back down as the sweet sound of opera began to fill the room and the house.

He sighed as he leaned to pick up his glass of whiskey, enjoying this moment. As he took a sip, he suddenly realized something: who was it that sent him this CD? Looking back at the package, he picked it up and turned it over to see if anything else was inside. Sure enough, there was: a letter addressed to him.

'To Mashiro-san,

A très Joyeux Noël to you, good sir. I've heard that you are who thoroughly enjoys the sound of opera music. Therefore, I decided to gift to you this impressive CD d’opéra. I hope that you enjoy it. Again, A très Joyeux Noël to you and a Bonne Année.

Sincerely,

Fleuret Oshiro.'

The sound of opera music was heard throughout the house as Akihisa took another sip of drink. Just as he thought Rintaro entered the room.

“What the hell are you playing, Old Man?”

“It’s called opera Rintaro.”

“I don't give a fuck what It’s called only old people listen to this.”

“Just sit down and listen to it, Rintaro, perhaps you'll grow to like it.”

Grunting Rintaro popped down on the couch in front of Akihisa. The two sat not speaking, the only noise being the opera music. It was calm and peaceful for once. While he was never going to admit it, Rintaro, for once in his life, felt almost calm. The burning he constantly felt was more of a soft burn than the raging inferno it usually was. Then, hearing a chuckle, Rintaro turned to Akihisa, who had a smirk on his face.

“See? Told you you’d enjoy it?”

“Shut the fuck up, Old Man.”

Yuno’s Thoughts On Taito Division

Azusa Furukawa

“Furukawa, Taito’s kendo instructor if I’m not mistaken. I hear she’s the leader of Blade Maiden? That’s a high position to take, So she has my respect. Her father is sick? I hope things turn out well for them… She appears to be a good person, Just calm and mutual. I don’t have any of my masters living in Taito currently, So I might have to organize a trip sometime. Yes, It’s obvious I wish to meet Furukawa. I never really considered meditation before, So it might be interesting to try it out one of these days, My mind truly needs a break.”

Fleuret Oshiro

“Lady Fleuret? Mai-san mentioned them recently. After their story on overhearing about her, I was also interested. Surprisingly, They asked if I could accompany them to Taito’s museum. I’m still thinking about the matter, Though It’s obvious they want to meet Lady Fleuret at some point. I’ll admit, I’m intrigued similarly. Someone descended from knights, Such as Lancelot or Precivial…? My grandmother has some books about such tales, So I minus well take a quick peek and make up my mind, I can’t leave the situation at bay forever…”

Eldrid Iwasaki

“The diamond in the ‘rough’, This will be interesting…Likewise with Furukawa and Lady Fleuret, Iwasaki I have yet to meet. So, They’re the ‘runt of the litter…’ I deeply apologize, I didn’t mean it as an insult, However it is rather true in my eyes. The feisty descendant of the Vikings, That sums everything for my impression precisely…I hope she’ll forgive me for my actions, I also do not want an enormous hammer crashing on my skull.”

Blade Maiden

“So this is the group of ‘Battle worthy maidens’, Huh? I must say, They have the ‘battle’ spirit as a team, I’ll give them that. Blade Maiden? Their name suits them quite nicely, Themes of honour and glory also fit. I don’t know how strong they really are, But they display such forces at most. I’ll have to stay on the safe side, So my respect for their power is mutual. The DRB will come up again, That’ll be when my observations ballpark their true skills…I hope Mai-san and Eko have their guard up on them, We may have to face them as well…”
