hey guys! i’m lyndsay and this is my trainwreck jen. she’s a cancer and a menace to society and i can’t wait to introduce her to everyone. here are some stats and her pinterest board.

( ✩ - ANA DE ARMAS, CIS-FEMALE, TWENTY FOUR, SHE/HER ) have you seen JENNIFER COHEN around campus lately? SHE is a SENIOR studying as an ART MAJOR. they remind me a lot of messy blonde hair fanned across a pillow, discarded lingerie, a cherry stem tied into a knot, dancing like everyone's watching, and eight texts sent in a row, probably because they are ENTICING & INSECURE. SHE is living in VERONA on FLOOR #2 at the moment! ✩ ooc lyndsay, 23, est, she/her. – )

background

jen was mostly raised by her mother in small town in new jersey. she had a pretty normal childhood but never felt like she got the attention she needed from her parents. following their bitter divorce, her mom had a revolving door of boyfriends in and out of the apartment and her dad was preoccupied with his new family.

eventually she started to look for that attention and validation elsewhere. she dove headfirst into the social scene at her school--started cheerleading, going to parties, dating--and she quickly realized that attention wasn’t that hard to come by. in fact, it was pretty easy. especially from guys

she’d always been boy-crazy but the awakening of her sexuality in high school showed her just how addictive it could be to feel desired. she began thriving on sexual attention, dressing provocatively and acting the part for her dose of validation

and the more her reputation grew, the more validation she needed. it became a vicious cycle, and not one without its consequences. falling pregnant was hardly the biggest deal--it was 2013, not 1950--but she had planned on keeping quiet about her abortion to minimize judgment.

she only told the father because she needed a bit of financial assistance and she made him swear not to tell, but by the time the bell rang that afternoon the whole school knew.

she’d always loved attention, but being thrust into the spotlight by someone else’s hand was traumatic and she’s had a bit of a chip on her shoulder ever since. she’s let people’s expectations and her own craving for acceptance control her, playing into their expectations and creating chaos for a sense of control

after high school she was dead set on not going to college. she had no idea what she wanted to do, but after two years of bullshitting around she decided to go back and study something she really enjoyed--art.

personality

jenny is deeply insecure and most of her life revolves around seeking acceptance and validation.

She is extremely flirtatious and promiscuous.

She can be a little short-tempered and defensive. If you poke fun at something she’s touchy about, she’ll turn on you in an instant. Can also be a little confrontational.

Sometimes she grapples with needing to feel in control and can be prone to starting petty arguments or stirring up trouble.

She’s loves socializing and would never miss a party--you can find her in the middle of the dance floor making sure all eyes are on her.

She can be pretty selfish and inconsiderate of others at times.

She can be self-destructive. She has a tendency to push people away and test boundaries.

But she’s a lot of fun and definitely knows how to ensure everyone is having a good time.

Feel free to message me for plots! I’m open to and eager for anything you think might work for our characters! Otherwise, I love exploring chemistry and seeing what happens!

Babylonia Section 19~Section 20

I thought it wasn’t bad with the first just visual story... Second half I need more cleansing of my sanity from that shit fight in the previous chapter. Good god, what the fuck is wrong with you DW?!

Section 19

Without waiting for a break after returning, a meeting immediately started in getting ideas to defeat Tiamat. 306 citizens including 212 soldiers left in Uruk... 157 survivors in Northen wall with 38 soldiers included.

Details about Lahmu followed on despite the number of citizens left... Looks like he accepted the end of his era for Gilgamesh... Tiamat’s details finally analyzed after that chaotic battle.... Hey now, it’s a Beast class you remember? At least safe to say no weakness is found yet!

2 days in total before she arrives Uruk by Jaguar Warrior’s instinct... And well, she thinks all life are equal regardless so henceforth the annihilation of humanity.

Seems like all Beasts are immortal so death never going to reach to their existence once... Definitely not going by if all humans die she will die method to kill her if humans are here to prove her existence!

So what about the opposite? as Gilgamesh and the Gudas mentioned. Oh hey, long time no see Eresh! Our King wished to borrow your underworld to kill Tiamat if you don’t mind! Ah, we don’t mind if you need time to shift Underworld right below Uruk too!

Off topic, Gilgamesh has a point for you too, Ishtar. Anyway, looks like hopefully less than 3 days underworld will be right under Uruk to defeat Tiamat. I see, so that’s why you needed Ishtar, Gilgamesh!

Gugalanna, we need your pet to help destroy Tiamat-- Ishtar... You don’t have Gugalanna with yoooooooooooooooouuuuuuuuuuuu?!!! AND YOU LOST HIM?!?!!?!?!!? ISHTAR.... YOU USELESS NO-GOOD GODDESS!!!

Punishment for Ishtar aside for her deeds, the meeting end since no other ideas can be used to hold off Tiamat for 1 day. We’re given one more day to rest before the final battle thanks to King Gilgamesh.

At night in Chaldea Embassy, everyone drops by for both a break and bonding... Seems like Quetz knew about Tiamat all this while, or all the while she knew about Gorgon’s relation to Tiamat... She cares for Gorgon despite what happened...

And yeah, some stockholm syndrome between Jaguar Warrior and Quetz... As expected of Quetz being the good goddess, it’s like her to stop Eresh and Gorgon... :)

Outside, Ishtar and Mash talking together... We’re too used to goodbyes and meeting after 6 Singularities. Well that Gilgamesh’s “nice”, is as questionable as his AUO’s “nice”. But hey, if he’s too nice, he’s not the stupid arrogant asshole AUO that we all know and enjoyed.

Flashback previously with Leonidas and Mash... Usually this, there’s questions wondering people like Jeanne who refused to kill human life... And others that do in a war.... There’s also more details in Leonidas’s point of view on his past too

Lastly one last detail about Chaldea, an observatory it’s called. More information about Chaldea does... Hope this isn’t foreshadowing in relations to Part 2 now.,, And poor Guda or specificially Gudako... A harem set between both sisters...

Ah seems like the Gudas and Mash decided to visit the King one last time.... Maybe a bad time since he’s busy? Okay, looks like he’s free to talk... Um thanks for giving something for us to brag about when we get back?

Hey, we feel bad we cause of that you know? The fact people died in Uruk and everything... Huh? We change the future from your vision? And even when you knew that Uruk will end, you still fight on, Gilgamesh....

Guda’s compassion to Uruk and the Goddess helped changed the fate itself... Yeah, we were told all damage will be erased once we finished the mission in the Singularity?

So lives will not be restored and what happened can never be undone? Oh right.. As Fate/Zero Accel... We can’t entirely change the past... It feels like Waver trying to save Kayneth is going to be for naught... He’ll still die along with his wife some way or another...

Life lessons from Caster Gil is really meaningful and deep... Yeah, you fucking lovable idiot, of course you’d destroy your country for an immortal herb. Yes, Siduri deserve to give you that scolding for the irresponsibility! Same old Gilgamesh with the same old quotes in Fate/Zero!

After we depart... Kingu... At the Celestial Hill, the memories of Enkidu first meets Gilgamesh.... Despite him cursing himself for being used and thrown... Gilgamesh?!

Oh come on, you don’t stumble to find your long-lost friend again! While bickering a little... The grail? He’s giving it to Kingu! Kingu will be fine after all! Even knowing that’s Kingu with Enkidu’s stolen dead body... He cares for him too as another new found friend other than Enkidu.,.. The pain in losing your friend and to avoid that.... Kingu... Please make the right choice this time

Section 20

The final day here at last! Woah, the data for Tiamat is compiled! Seems like there’s a few weak spots in terms of physical body to deal damage at! So, we’re going to start with removing the black mud first! Or known as now, Chaos Tide!

Damn it and she’s awake and moving faster than we thought! Thank god we didn’t choose to destroy the Sun stone or there’s no other Noble Phantasm to beat her!

That shouldn’t be a problem if you can piggy back us all the way while we supply you mana to deal with her legs!

One hasty sprint right outside of Uruk later, King Gigamesh standing in glory at the top of ZIggurat to announce to his citizens while he’s overjoyed at those that survived... He’s getting the citizens riled up on dealing with Tiamat as their final battle

Anyway, accepting this point of no return... Onwards towards Tiamat!! Which finally arriving on the Chaos tide... Time for a most disgusting fight with the Chaos tide!

First wave done, but definitely not giving up with many of the Lahmus and Bel Lahmu coming at us! Yup, the closer we are the higher the damage will be from the Chaos Tide!

Huh? Looks like we’re about to get killed by the Lahmu and... Backup has come from Girsu! While Jaguar Warrior tries to protect them... We’re facing again with 1 demonic beasts and 3 Lahmus at our asses!

Fucking damn it! She’s still speeding up even after we cleared the Demonic Beasts! And oh... Because of her walking that creates shockwaves... There’s a fucking russian roulette at the start!

...... My initial setup is the same after shuffle... Thank fucking god for that! I could have sworn after picking up the stuff I dropped from my table... I swear to god that it felt like it never shuffled at all!

Right below Tiamat’s leg... What the?! Ushikawamaru!! And no thanks, serving AUO later if we do summon him is enough to do for serving!

With russian roulette round 2 back here and 1.2k damage from Chaos Tide... DW really knows how to bring hell here.

Also... Bring AOE Servant and not ST Servant... Or you’re going to have a long time clearing those Ushikawamaru. Had to retry because it’s completely screw up... One of the worst fight for this entire Singularity OTL

Endless of copies doesn’t kill Ushikawamaru yet... She curses at the humans which at this point it’s useless now to convince her out of this... This voice? Benkei! But he’s completely injured and how?! Lastly... In a suicidal move, both Ushikawamaru and Benkei... Took all the hit with her from the clones...

Even the copies are not budging to move after hearing Benkei’s words about Ushikawamaru’s heart... He’s also pulling Tiamat’s authority off her! At last... Both of them departed away... Right now, Quetz, it’s time to unleash your NP! Wait NO DON’T UNLEASH! THIS IS NOT FUCKING ARASH ROUND 2 HERE!!!

Unleashing her NP... Looks like some of the Chaos tide is removed! Quetz!! Damn those flying Lahmu...! What?! Chaos Tide returned from Tiamat’s feet! Quetz, stop!! QUETZ!!!

Uh oh... Seems like Quetz is badly wounded.... She even flies?! Seriously?!! And one last mana transfer via kiss, QUETZ STOP!!! NO QUETZ!!!! ISHTAR STOP HER YOU IDIOT!!!!

QUUUUUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTZZZZZZ!!!! Not Arash all over again! Damn it not at your last noble phantasm to destroy her!!!

.... As Quetz’s spirit origin fell into the chaos tide after that suicidal NP... Tiamat continues to march on! Along with more chaos tide and 1 giant ass Lahmu!

With the wall fallen... Time is ticking before the chaos tide swallows all of Uruk! And she’s going to fly again?! From the Chaos Tide... Snake... Huh? That snake even making Lahmus complaining about it since Tiamat is being tied down!

Wait... GORGON?! Well at least she’s helping our side in her own way now that’s return somehow!

Seems like Gorgon is buying us the chance to make a quick rest when we head back to find Gilgamesh again... Despite that bitter fight back at Section 15... Gorgon... No, Ana... Please do your best! Even knowing what happens at the end...!

One of Tiamat’s horn destroyed, she can no longer fly to get to Uruk faster.. Time is running out! And GOD DAMN IT IN URUK! Good thing Gilgamesh is there to clean up the Lahmus beginning to invade Uruk.

Seems like it’s going to take a long while for Eresh to bring underworld under Uruk. While waiting for Eresh, looks like King Gilgamesh is waiting for us in this final battle

............ Now if you excuse me while I need my sanity... I need to regain myself from the feels in this chapter... OTL

#fgo #fate grand order #the shit i shit myself into #babylonia singularity #WHO THE FUCK THOUGHT THIS WAS OKAY?!#THIS ISN'T OKAY #EVERYTHING IS NOT OKAY IN THIS CHAPTER!!!#babylonia NA

An Adventure in Blogging

Rating: G

Word Count: 1524

Summary: Fourteen-year-old Meli Malviya gets inspired to start blogging

Trigger Warnings: very slight reference to abuse

Authors Note: I would just like to say that I have had this universe since 2014 and I am finally sharing it with the world! This is taking place in a fantasy/utopia/futuristic magic world thing so somethings might be a little different (i.e. social media/networks)

An Adventure in Blogging

Meli Malviya

8/4/PW14

As the first term closes, students tend to rush to get the social media handles of their new friends if they have yet done so, as an attempt to keep up to date with one’s latest selfie or holiday overseas. The act of online stalking is not isolated to these adolescent individuals; plenty of adults partake in this strange and slightly intrusive practice. For that reason, I, Meli Malviya, have been requested by the masses to create a blog in which can be used to stalk and intrude into the lives of your heroes and government officials. The excitement of being potentially disowned and left to die delights me very much so. This —as one might insist of calling it— blog will consist of weekly posts and myself not talking like this at all, holy hell.

2/4/PW14

Two days before school ends in the Malviya household is slightly crazy. As many know, my mother and I live right above my mother’s store, Satya’s Boutique. Around this time of year, we have many people come to get last minute altercations on some weird end of term party, to purchase some clothes for a holiday to who knows where along with regular shoppers. Luckily my mum is stinking rich and brought the biggest store she could find. As well as a whole mess, my dear friend Edvard Garcia turned 30 today. He’s freaking old. For those of you who do not know this guy, let me give y’all a mini, mini, mini-biography.

Eddy boi is a Swedish mess who at the age of 16 was forced to drown his sister, Aurora Hansdotter (Y'all know her right? She’s bloody amazing) for some BS reason. No one knew that he had taken special precautions to save her life which comes into play two years later when he came here. What apparently happened was that his insane mother found out and tried to kill him too. She is insane I know, I guess that this is what happens when your husband died of smallpox when you had a two and four-year-old to look after in 17th century Sweden. For little under a year, everyone absolutely hated him, and that’s an understatement. Everyone except Eliza and Warda was giving him the silent treatment. This poor boy couldn’t even speak English, he had to have a translator hired because Aurora didn’t want to help him.

Anyway, some dude named Charon Garcia heard some other dude crying. Being the blind dude he is, Charon went over to them with his adorable guide dog, Cerberus, and basically was like, “You Gucci mate?” Except he didn’t say that exactly. Since he’s so blind that even bats are shook, he did not know that this was eddy the shreddy. If he had this prior knowledge, he would not have approached him. After some conversation, explaining, more explaining to everyone this time, and the rest of the school year, Charon finally managed to propose to Edvard at the ripe old age of eighteen. They got married two years later and then four years went by the had a girl called angel and two years later they had another girl called Thalia.

So, all last week my mum and I had been trying to find something totally amazing for Ed. I suggested some unsavory things and my mum hit me on the head. We eventually agreed on this rare Swedish book that he liked so much that somehow managed to come in time. But this wasn’t the only Swedish surprise.

After school, we were gonna have this party thing at Aurora and Maeraka (genie of battle)’s house. So, at the end of the day, I rounded up Angel, Thalia, Filip, and Ana (Aurora and Maeraka’s kids) and caught the train to the house. When we got there everyone else (all the Garcia’s, the Baatjies, the royal family, Rachel Wilder and Giselle Blanchard) were there. The kids and I got changed out of our uniforms into more casual clothes and when we came back, Aurora left to go get something with Rose.

They came back sometime later and holy macaroni, what they came back with left me shooketh. So turns out that somehow Rose was able to resurrect bloody Hans Noahsson. His faTHER I SWEAR TO GOD WHY CAN’T SHE DO THAT FOR ME HOLY CHICKEN FINGERS.

As unreal as the scenario was, who of us really surprised? He can only speak Swedish so that should be fun, but he’s going to stay with Aurora and Maeraka because their house is huge, and Edvard’s is smaller than my will to live.

There were too many tears and Hans is so sweet even if I couldn’t understand a word he said.

3/4/PW14

This was the unofficial last day of school, and by that, I mean last day of classes. So many of you were asking me about the blog but this is a weekly thing, guys! And its more of a weekly diary I guess.

Anyway, the only thing that happened today was Hans, Rory (Aurora), Filip and Ana coming to mum’s boutique and getting old Hans some clothing that isn’t waistcoats and clogs (having the latter kill my mother every time she needs to make some for either Eddy or Rory because they need some traditional Swedish outfits).

Fun Fact: my mum speaks Swedish. I never knew that, but if you want to speak Swedish to Satya Malviya, don’t tell her I told you.

4/4/PW14

Wowzers. That’s an awful lot of fours.

Children and teens alike were jumping for joy for the last day of school. Assemblies were held, people were bored, lockers were emptied, and Señora Octavia Garcia silently cried as she still had to spend time with her least favourite student (me), even though holidays were here. There’s no escape.

After school, Octavia decided to take me, Filip, Ana, Angel, Thalia, Roxane + Laurent (Giselle’s kiddos), Hasna (Daughter of Fan, genie of the arts, and Fawdaa, genie of chaos) and Katherine to this pancake place (which you would see if you followed me on Echo’d you would already know this…) and it was actually pretty good.

One last thing: Rory and King Sandu were having a handstand contest when I came to the castle today,,,, I don’t know why,,,

5/4/PW14

With the first day of holidays came everybody’s least favourite celebration, my birthday! I know nobody actually cares, but hear me out because this is an experience.

So, most of my friends are adults or midgets. Only like 3% of my friends are actually my age. Because of this, I do two things. One, I have a party (bowling or whatever) with my school friends, and then I hang out at the castle filming Jadine Baatjies try to summon spirits drunk.

So here I am, in the rec room at the castle, same stuff as usual; Giselle is drinking wine straight from the bottle and staying completely sober, Lizzy and Dontae are doing paperwork, Rachel and Lola are trying to re-enact The Greatest Showman, Warda is trying to bring Sandu up to date with everything that he has missed (because he was kidnapped for like 27 years, remember?), Edvard and Aurora are trying to teach Hans English and the kids are being weird.

Anyway, so I look over the room and Jadine is having a drinking contest with the Garcia twins and I’m confused? Because at the same time Jadine, Rose, and Octavia are trying to compete with statistics about how many dead people they have been able to “rise” and my mum is trying to keep the kids away from sharp objects and this is the funniest thing I have ever seen.

6/4/PW14

Jadine kept messaging me about her hangover and Edvard just sent over a group chat that Charon in just lying head down in bed and apparently when Lizzy was trying to wake up Scylla she was in a similar position,,,

7/4/PW14

I went over to Rory’s place for practice and if any of you guys swim then you’d know about the appetite that you build up afterwards is very large, of which mine was when I went inside after what felt like a million years of singing and swimming. To my delight and surprise, one Hans Noahsson had cooked a traditional Swedish meal (I forgot what it’s called) and it was really hecking good so that’s how my day went.

8/4/PW14

Today was the music festival so that means me being forced to sing for like 10 hours around the entire. bloody. Country. So, I hoped y’all enjoyed that and on behalf of the Sirens of Eoberona and The Amjir Committee of Music, I would like to thank everybody for participating and that the money raised from various performances will be going towards helping rebuild Amjir’s temple after the incident.

As I write this entire blog entry at 9:48pm, I would like to hope that everyone enjoys this, and this is what everyone meant. Next week will be something unexpected and I am very excited and y’all will be getting more than what you bargained for!

~Meli Malviya

The Cursed - chapter I

# The Cursed - Chapter I

## Crimes strike at midnight

Midnight was the hour crimes struck, as it was universally known criminals fancied midnight as the time to initiate any of their machiavellian plans. The plans could include elegant thefts to savage murders, but tonight’s was from another genre if crimes were books that had an end, or not. When it came to murders or thefts there always had a trail of clues the police of Edo could hike through; but now it had been weeks since the Shinsengumi couldn’t solve the case. It was everywhere: newspapers, TV , everyone knew and everyone were frightened for their sisters, daughters or lovers.

All the victims were adult females, age ranging from eighteen to twenty-five, all of them accomplished in a way or another—the first was a famous artist, the second a gold medals champion, the third a skilled orator and daughter of politicians. Had all the girls targeted been famous, the Shinsengumi would be able to narrow potential preys and assure their security. This was not the case. Some became notorious only through the case; however all females also shared a common point besides accomplishment: beauty, thus earning the nickname of "Sleeping Beauties". Indeed, despite calling over experts and doctors from all the country not a single one could elucidate what happened to the victims as there were no external nor internal injuries, no poisons or toxins, all were positively healthy. Supposedly. Instead, they were all sound asleep and wouldn't wake up no matter what.

It was as if life force itself had been sucked out of them, or as if they became soulless. How the criminal or criminals did so, no one knew.

As of now the public defiled the image of the Shinsengumi day by day as the list of victims grew longer, to the opposite of their clues. Journalists harassed Hijikata for not being as competent as rumoured, Kondo for his constant stalking instead of working and some even suspected Okita for being a deviant Sadist. Although the second was true and the last half, they were officers nonetheless and patrolled every district at night—unfortunately the dark circles below their fatigued eyes weren't what the public saw.

"The Shinsengumi: a useless bunch of country bumpkins? Special pictures of chief Kondo Isao harassing cabaret girls!" Hijikata read the scandalous title from different newspaper with a strained tone, this had been their quotidian now, "Kondo-san I know you want to court Shimura-san but we can't afford to lose even more of the public opinion! And Sougo! What the hell are you doing around Yoshiwara with a chained girl?!"

"I need to affirm my feelings for Otae-san, Toshi! That's how you win a woman so beautiful and strong." "It's not my fault if sows just fall under my feet, Hijikata-san, what would you do if you find one? Just step on her, right?" "No one do that besides you, actually." Hijikata smashed none-too-gently his cigarette into the ashtray on the table, full of the different divisions' reports. "No clues today either."

An uncomfortable silence settled in the tea room, although the Shinsengumi officers were known to be country samurais with very "unique" personality, not a single of them were proud of the current affair. If they couldn't gather and solve the case now the Shogun might disband them because of their ineffectiveness, bolstered by the fact public opinion was assassinating their name. Disbanding would also mean tearing apart a shared dream from long ago, and all the sacrifices they made to be what they are now, all things left behind in order to move forward. Regrets, too.

"… Maybe the Yorozuya Boss knows something. He always does whenever we don't," Kondo finally suggested, "he might already be on it." "All because this lazy silver-perm is the protagonist of *Gintama* what's the point of having such useless main character…" He sighed, "but Kondo-san, you might be right. " "I'll go tomorrow with Hijikata-san." "It's rare of you to propose yourself Sougo! Daddy is proud of you, right Mother?" "WHO'S A MOTHER?" "Because of the patrols I haven't been able to beat China up, anyway. My body's dull, maybe I should go for a tabasco cake."

Kondo and Hijikata decided not to comment about the youngest's plans, after all, one shouldn't look too deep into a sadist's thought. ---- "Oi Kagura, stop reading so close or else you'll become a human wearing glasses like Patsuan." "That's not true Gin-chan, if I wear glasses then I'll be the cute heroine with glasses! There's no way I'll become something like Shinpachi." "Please stop talking like I wasn't here you two, who do you think cook and do all the house chores here?!"

As usual the Yorozuya were being noisy whenever clients weren't present, which to say represented more than ninety percents of the time. One could wonder about how could Sakata Gintoki afford to feed both a giant dog, a gorilla of a daughter in addition of himself, and still have a roof over his head, but then one would remember Sakata Gintoki didn't pay taxes nor rents. Policemen had yet to arrest them, as they did save Edo plenty of time, and most importantly if the chief wasn't aiming at the Shimura eldest as his wife.

"Oi stupid perm, open the door!"

Tax-robbers came.

"Kagura, did you hear? I think I just hear a mosquito right now, what should we do? It's still winter, do you think it's an alien mosquito like the alien cockroaches we had?" "WHAT DID YOU SAY BASTARD?" "Boss, I have a bazooka." "Excuse-me—" "Ah," Hijikata let out a satisfied sigh. "Mosquitoes. There are two right now, they're coming to suck our tax money dry. quick Kagura, we need to smash'em." "— There is a reward, Boss." "Pachi, please open the door to our respectable customers," Gintoki rose up and sat straight on the green couch, coughing up once before looking at Kagura with his dead-fish eyes. "Kagura, go make some tea. Bring the best!"

Kagura snorted back, not even deigning to sit properly. "We don't have good tea Gin-chan, and reading JUMP is better when you're lying down." Before she could continue the passionating story of *Death Pad* a kick came to her waist.

"Oh, a piggy. Danna, do invite me if you're going to roast it, I'm a pro." "… Sadist!" "Don't fight oi, Sougo we came for something else." Hijikata went in front of the duo, not bothering to cross his legs. "Clearly, you aren't civil either. What did both of you come for? It's rare for the Shinsengumi to come to us with a request," Shinpachi laid snacks on the table, hoping to get some money out of the policemen. "Have you heard of the 'Sleeping Beauties'?" "Yeah, do you know how scared I am for my Ketsuno Ana? She stopped appearing on TV you know! Her big brother decided to guard her, I swear, I can't even wake up to her delicate voice and—" "Do you have any informations? Especially what can be the criminal? An Amanto, perhaps?"

Gintoki shook his head, he had seen a lot in his life but not women suddenly falling asleep, maybe once when the giant ex-boyfriend came to take his red-haired brat although he doubted the current meticulous criminal had anything to do with foul oral odour. Kagura didn't worry him, this time, fortunately the criminal hadn't anything to do with a lolicon (or feminist) either.

The officers were in their way into frowning when Kagura interrupted with her index pinpointing a panel from *Death Pad*. "Why should it be an Amanto? It could be something else, yes? If it was an Amanto, I would have known. Papy gave me lot of books about different aliens, but there aren't any that are like that."

"If it's not a human or an Amanto, what could it be? *Ryok*?" "Uh-uh, what if it's a demon? It's not like we haven't met ghosts in *Gintama*, and they like to take life force from humans, yes?" "JUMP is making you even more stupid than usual, China, why would a demon—" "Oi Sougo, the China girl might be right this time. The criminal doesn't let any clues, as if he could disappear into thin air, nobody has seen him or her yet." "Haah, are you listening to China now Hijikata-san? Wow, I didn't know you could be even lower in my esteem, congratulation." "Seriously Sougo, it's no time to get jealous—" (Jealous?!) "— Have you ever heard of Incubus? It's a male demon preying on women at night," he coughed as talking of such depraved creatures in front of Kagura seemed inappropriate. "I hope it's clear enough as to how they take life forces."

Hijikata's words buzzed into everyone's brain, with the exception of Kagura, linking and bonding with the datas they possessed. They had few notions about Incubus, mostly through their feminine counterparts, the Succubus, but imagining a demon very much active in Edo was unheard of. The dead belonged to another world where they couldn't reach the livings, only experimented *onmyoujis* and priests were able to whisper into their ears. Those said experts were from big families like Ketsuno Ana's, the Bakufu had them under their service in order to seal the city from the dead.

In the best case this meant there had been leaks from them, voluntarily or not. In the worst, it meant another or a group of individuals had a grasp of such power with the will of creating chaos within Edo. To treachery, it was the Shinsengumi's duty to bestow the justice, but the Yorozuya's to protect the city.

"Oi, how much is the reward?" "Enough to buy you months of parfaits and pachinko, Boss," Sougo smirked at the now-burning eyes of Gintoki, wondering if it was the idea of danger overshadowing Edo that worried the silver perm or the idea of enjoying his sugary treats. "The Yorozuya will accept this request!" "Gin-san/Gin-chan," two smiling figures suddenly appeared behind Gintoki. Simultaneously, the hands reached his shoulders in a strong, threatening grasp. "You have to pay us, right?"

Gintoki gulped. "H-Hah?"

Screams echoed all through the busy city of Edo. ---- The moon was bright and round when a lean figure slipped in the messy bedroom. Sheets of music cluttered the wooden floor so much one could hardly notice the planks underneath, even the furnitures were blotted with ink, waft of its scent drifting to the male.

"Did you know? Overworking is bad to a woman's health and beauty," the cackling voice resonated in the humble room. It leaned towards a female, deep into sleep, "but then again this is what make your soul so delicious." "Huuh.. You are here again," the purple-haired woman murmured sleepily.

Purple eyes gleamed akin to a predator's, the man licking his lips before pressing them to Otsuu's.

"Good night, sleeping beauty. I wonder if you'll ever wake up with what I left you with, artists like you have such a taste. It's a shame you never last enough," the voice of the individual bewitched Otsuu, like a gentle yet seductive whisper in your ears, resonating deep in you. Hypnotised, the idol let the cold finger lift her chin up while her eyes slowly closed down, lulled by the demon.

Some vile creatures were blessed with a special ability; mermaids had the capacity of captivating anyone who have the bad fortune— or good luck— to hear their voices. As much, Incubus and Succubus were pictures as great beauties snatching humans' hearts, but only few knew about the danger of listening to a demon's susurrus.

They penetrated into your soul, mind and heart, prying on all your memories before flaying you open, reading you like a book. Dangerous whispers talking to your desires and dreams.
