Lost Stories 2023 Xmas Event

Lost Stories 2023 Christmas event story: I recorded only the parts which have the most Rolo, but the event itself focuses mainly on Nunnally, Lelouch and Anya (who wants to help Nunnally).

Sometime after Gino and Anya are already Ashford Academy students, Lelouch and Nunnally, who can't meet each other, both are sad that this is the "first" Christmas they won't spend together (it should be the 2nd: during Turn 3 there was a photo of the Student Council celebrating Christmas during Lelouch's time with altered memories). Milly notices there's something wrong with Lelouch and after he claims that it's just because it's getting cold lately, Milly says he seems sensitive to cold weather too (Lelouch complains "What does that 'too' refer to"), Rivalz adds that also to hot weather, Shirley that he doesn't like the air conditioning being too strong, and Rolo confirms that he's indeed not good with the cold. They realize that Christmas is coming and Rivalz teases "No wonder Shirley is so emotionally reactive," because, as most people reading this probably know, Christmas is a romantic season in Japan. After her "Hey! Rivalz!", Rolo suspiciously "..."s her, making her say "No way. Even Rolo is looking at me like that…". Uh-oh... She explains "I was just wondering about how will everyone spend Christmas..." and Rolo answers "That's a given. Brother will be with me..." but Lelouch's idea is "Yeah. Us all Student Council members will have a party this year too, right?" Rolo is caught off-guard by the idea, it seems, though he accepts it fine. The story also shows Anya wanting to do something to help Nunnally, who is sad because she won't be able to share this Christmas with her brother, but in the video I uploaded I jump to Rolo and Lelouch back at the Club House:

Rolo "Hey, hey, Brother. About Christmas..." Lelouch "..." Rolo "Brother?" Lelouch "Mm? Ah, sorry. I was lost in thought. So what did you want to talk about?" Rolo "Yeah. About Christmas, um... I was wondering what you do during a Christmas party..." Lelouch "Oh, right. This is going to be your first Christmas." Rolo "Yeah. Of course, I do know what it is in terms of knowledge, and I've even been to Christmas party venues on missions before. But I've never spent it with other people, that's why..." (<- TN: Except when you dressed up as a reindeer together with Lelouch, right.) Lelouch "I see. However, you don't have to be on guard. All you have to do is spend a lively time with everyone, like always." Rolo "I see... By the way, what kind of party did you have last year?"

Lelouch tells him about what I assume was last year's actual in-game event (I didn't play through it), where at first it looked like the party might be called off because everyone had their reasons for not being able to participate. Lelouch says a miracle happened, though. Rolo responds "A miracle? Such a thing..." and Lelouch agrees "Yeah, it was actually an accumulation of coincidences." Rolo mentions that fortunately, it looks like everyone will be able to join in this year, and then asks Lelouch "Brother, you are okay too, right?" but, despite answering "Yes," Lelouch is only thinking about how he won't be able to spend this Christmas with his little sis. As for the last scene in the video, let me first sum up the rest of the story: Anya discovers that despite Nunnally being restricted from interacting with anyone at Ashford, she (Nunnally) can still leave gifts for the Student Council members as long as she avoids direct contact with them, so "Santa Claus Anya" takes "Santa Claus Nunnally" there with Mordred. And even though the Student Council members don't remember that Nunnally was their friend, they're honored to receive her presents when they find them in the morning. Even Rolo says "There's one for me too..."! How did Nunnally prepare a present for Rolo?

Meanwhile, Suzaku asks the Student Council members to please get Nunnally presents (or just one? Not sure) because she was really looking forward to meeting them (Lelouch at first suspects that Suzaku might be testing him, but he quickly realizes that Suzaku genuinely wants to help Nunnally). Lelouch, no longer in a state of dejection, suddenly becomes almost overly enthusiastic. He takes charge, organizing tasks for Rivalz, Shirley, Rolo, and Milly, as you can see in the final bit I recorded:

Lelouch (after giving tasks to Rivalz and Shirley) "Rolo, how is the route for the delivery of stage sets, props, and costumes on the day of the performance?"

Rolo "Everything is already arranged, Brother. But why are you suddenly so motivated...?" Lelouch "You also want your first Christmas to be lively and fun, right? That's why." Rolo "... I see. Brother, you were thinking about me..." Lelouch "Isn't it obvious? That being said, if you have some free time, please draft the script for the appointed day." Rolo: "Yeah! Okay, Brother." That's mean, Lulu... In the end, Suzaku delivers the presents to Nunnally, and although he can't reveal that he's giving her a gift from Lelouch himself, she is able to tell.

And that's the end. It was brief, but I liked how Lelouch and Rolo talked just a little bit about Rolo's past. Maybe next year Lelouch actually cares though...

Hi would like to ask your fic finders for help 🧀🧀🧀

It is a Code Geass fanfic in which Lelouch and some other Ashford students including Kallen find the kid of a Japanese staff member lost in the school. Lelouch speaks to the kid, revealing that he lived in Japan for a time before the war and helps the kid reunited with his mother.

Fic finders, ASSEMBLE!

[gutsberserkson]

What I Believe Is The Answer To Solving The Problems Of Code Geass. Spoiler Warning!

Let me first clarify that I'm not talking about personal issues that fans have with Code Geass, like the Black Knights betraying Lelouch. Those are not the problems I'm referring to. I'm referring to the problems of the world in which Code Geass takes place.

What is the answer to how broken characters like Lelouch and Suzaku are? What is the answer to healing a world constantly at war (not helped because of Britannia and its rule of Social Darwinism)? I think the answer is simple, yet so hard to truly understand.

Cheesy and corny as you might think, the answer is this: Love.

By which I mean truly unconditional love. And which characters represent this kind of love so perfectly? Those characters are Shirley Fenette and Euphemia li Britannia. Both of these girls demonstrate how incredibly loving and compassionate they are.

It is Euphemia who encourages Suzaku to keep living, because she loves him (and after her declaration, he is able to come to terms with his feelings for her and realizes he loves her too). It is Euphemia who wishes to bring Lelouch and Nunnally back together in her life with her well-intentioned Special Administrative Zone plan, which would also give Suzaku and Japan their rights back. And she's willing to give up her status as princess to do so, since she wants to be equals with Suzaku. She even manages to convince Lelouch to stand down and go along with her plan, and Lelouch admits that Euphemia is his most formidable enemy. Not Clovis, not Cornelia, not Schneizel, not V.V., not even Emperor Charles zi Britannia and Empress Marianne vi Britannia. No, this honor goes to Euphemia.

As for Shirley, it is she who comes to terms with Lelouch's secret life as Zero. It is Shirley who encourages Suzaku to forgive Lelouch for his misdeeds, just as she has forgiven him for accidentally killing her father and seeing how lonely Lelouch is. She is also lonely, as she's the only student at Ashford Academy who, thanks to Jeremiah Gottwald's Geass Canceler, has an idea of the truth going on, and immediately takes action when she knows something isn't right. The fact that, at that point in time, Nunnally is suddenly the Viceroy of Japan when she knows that simply can't be right allows her to empathize with how lonely Lelouch is in a world full of lies, and why she declares that she wants to be someone he can be honest with. This love she demonstrates shows that, if she had lived, the Zero Requiem would have been unnecessary.

And it is because of Euphemia's death that Suzaku spirals further and further into madness, not helped by the fact that Lelouch is Zero, and the fact that Lelouch is leading a rebellion against Britannia much like how his own father, Genbu, wanted to fight Britannia even when there was no hope of victory. Many of his actions against Lelouch are both to uphold his view that Britannia can be changed from within, like Euphemia was about to do had she not been accidentally subjected to Lelouch's Geass at the exact worst possible moment with the worst possible command. It is also out of spite, as he believes Lelouch is compromising any hope of peace between Japan and Britannia out of spite. Not helped by how Lelouch callously blames the deaths of the SAZ on Euphemia to rally the Black Knights in further rebellion, and by how he lies to Suzaku's face about how "horrible" Euphemia is. This foreshadows how the Zero Requiem will happen at the end, as Lelouch constantly makes himself the worst possible person for people to hate him, because, like Suzaku, he is full of self-hatred, especially after killing Euphemia to stop the massacre he unwittingly started.

As for Shirley, had she lived, there was hope for Lelouch and Suzaku to at the very least manage a bittersweet ending to their lives while keeping world peace, like they do in completing the Zero Requiem. When she dies, Lelouch loses any hope of a happy ending, and his life from Ashford Academy is permanently closed off, and his friendship with Suzaku is further strained. Her death starts a domino effect of pain and suffering for Lelouch and Suzaku, which (literally) explodes with the F.L.E.I.J.A. nuke, directly caused by Suzaku's "Live!" Geass, and indirectly caused by Lelouch placing that Geass on Suzaku in the first place.

When they both think Nunnally is caught in the explosion, only then does their relationship finally start to heal, as they come together to bring down both Emperor Charles and Schneizel to bring about the peace they want for Nunnally and the world. But any hope for Lelouch and Suzaku to have a happy ending for themselves is gone, because the girls who loved them unconditionally, Shirley and Euphemia, are gone. In completing the Zero Requiem, Euphemia's "sins" are taken away by Lelouch as he makes himself the Demon Emperor, and Suzaku runs him through as Zero. Lelouch's punishment is to die as the most hated man in human history, and Suzaku's punishment is to live while desperately craving death. Their acceptance of their fates as penance for their sins, and their sincere desires for mankind to move into the future with happiness, is made possible only by the love that Shirley and Euphemia freely give to them. That love is then passed on to Lelouch and Suzaku, who, in completing the Zero Requiem, share that boundless love for mankind to finally be free from war and move into the future with (hopefully) unending peace.

Nunnally's Halloween Ch 2-2: The Halloween Strategy Meeting 

This is a translation of the second chapter of the second section of 'Nunnally's Halloween'. This section shows the group having a spooky session of plotting for their party for the Jack-O'-Lantern.

Previous Section - Next Section - All Story Sections

The story opens back up on Lelouch and Nunnally walking through the halls as they head to their party planning session.

Lelouch: …

Nunnally: Big brother. 

Lelouch: What is it? 

Nunnally: This air feels cold, but... it's definitely the same school we went to.

Lelouch: ...Yeah, you’re right, Nunnally. Do you want to go back?

Nunnally: What do you think? I want to move the world forward as soon as possible, but as long as I can be by your side, that's all I need...how selfish is that?

Lelouch: No, I'm the same way, Nunnally.

Lelouch and Nunnally now enter the scary version of their old student council room as they're greeted by Al in the middle of the room.

Al: Lelouch, is it alright if I use the whiteboard? 

Lelouch: I don't mind. This space itself was probably prepared by Jack O'Lantern in the first place…

Lelouch (internal thoughts): (The Jack-O’-Lantern prepared Ashford Academy for us. If so…) 

Al: Okay. Alright then everyone, feel free to sit wherever you like.

Gigi: Wow...I feel like I'm a member of the student council. Such a shame, I wish I could have brought my enchanting sailor uniform.

Al: Okay, okay, let's get started anyway. How are Lelouch and the others feeling? 

Lelouch: Right. Nunnally, is this okay?

Nunnally: Yeah, It’s alright.

Al: In order to escape from this space, we need to have a fun party so The Jack-o'-Lantern won't feel lonely. We'll be planning and managing it ourselves...do any of you have some ideas?

Hong Yu: Ooh, since it’s a party, dancing is inevitable. 

Liu Ki: If you have sheet music, I can play a song for you. 

Lelouch: If there was a koto, there should also have been a guqin made by the Chinese Federation for reference in the music room. We can check over there later.

(AN: For those unaware, a koto is a string instrument typically with 13 strings. It is also considered the national instrument of Japan. A guqin is another string instrument typically with 7 strings that comes from China. Both are played the same way with the instrument lying flat on the ground and have the same instrument classification which is probably how Lelouch correlated the 2 instruments together.)

Al: Dancing to the accompaniment of the piano? When it comes to dancing, it's essential to liven up the party. I think it will be exciting if we bring it to the second half.

Gigi: Yes, yesss! After all that, I think we need warm food that isn't cold, like some ricee!

Al: That’s true. It's fine if it's just hors d'oeuvres, but if the soup and main dish are cold, it's disappointing.

Gigi: That's right. Warm food warms your heart.

Nunnally: That's a wonderful phrase. I feel the same way.

Lelouch: I can’t believe Gigi would say something sensible.

Al: In the case of Gigi, there are times when the food is just warm.

Gigi: Did you say something?

Al: No, nothing. Even if it's not delicious, a warm meal will warm your heart.

Gigi screeches at him in retaliation.

Liu Ki: I-I want the food to be something that people can enjoy as well.

Nunnally: Um... How many pumpkin decorations were there at the venue?

Al: Pumpkins? Not much if you ask me…

Liu Ki: The venue was generally cold, and it even seemed a little scary.

Nunnally: In that case, since Jack-o-Lantern is the main character, why not add more pumpkins?

Hong Yu: More pumpkins? You mean like cooking and serving them?

Lelouch: Oh, no, that's not quite it. It's a Halloween tradition to cut out the inside of a pumpkin and make eyes and a mouth. That way the scary faces you put on pumpkins scare away evil spirits.

Hong Yu: I see. So it's like a talisman?

Liu Ki: Then, how about Mr. Jack-O’-Lantern too? 

Al: How do we explain that…? 

Gigi: It’s not quite like a talisman, it's also a whole monster by itself. 

Hong Yu: Haha, that's great! If it's that powerful, I'm sure it can drive away most demons!

Lelouch: If you want to grow more pumpkins, if we do that first, that would likely increase the number of participants.

Al: Also, it's true that the venue was a little empty and lonely. Okay, we have pretty much everything we need to do.

Hong Yu: So with that, I'll ask Lelouch to continue taking command. 

Nunnally: I agree. As the vice president of the student council, my brother has held many events, so I think he's a good fit.

Lelouch: Heh. It's been a while since I've been in charge of an event like this.

Lelouch (internal thoughts): (It feels strange to be at Ashford with new friends and an event without the student council members.)

Liu Ki: Lelouch? 

Lelouch: Yeah, I’m alright. Okay, everyone! Let’s go have a totally fun, full-throttle party!

Liu Ki: Fu-full throttle? I-I’ll do my best! 

Nunnally: Yes! 

Lelouch: In order to make the Halloween party a success... Operation: Pumpkin Festival now begins!

50 Questions to Lelouch // Newtype Romance February 2007 // Canon

These are 50 questions asked to Lelouch in the Newtype Romance; While it's not that much interesting, it's still quite fun;

** @rainfall-tumbles already translated those, so please visit and reblog her link !

My observations will be noted as such by **Italic thoughts**

What's your Birthday ? December 5th

Blood Type ? Type A.

**Blood type is very telling about the personnality for japanese people**

Your height is? 178 cm

Favorite color? Violet. Because it is a refined color, and it has the greatest mysterious appeal.

**It was either Violet or black** Hobbies ? I like making things by myself , sort of do it yourself stuff

**handmade stuff actually**

Liberal arts? Sciences? Or are you more the athletic type? What a meaningless question.

What's your best subject? Mathematics. What are your grades like ? I think they're quite high, but I'm not sure/ don't care

Your dream for the future? To destroy Britannia.

Please describe your personality in between two characters and six. Rock. In other words, I don't let small things get to me. Yes I do? Don't be absurd.

**Quarelling with the journalist ?**

Please tell us what your strong and weak points are. I've never really thought about that.

Favorite foods? Creamy food, or tender texture food. Like shrimp, or pudding.

Your least favorite foods? Gooey/gummy foods. Things like natto, or grated yam.

**He seems more focused on texture taste that actual taste** After you wake up, what's the first thing you eat/drink ? Coffee. Morning person? Night person? Night person. I'm like the owl of Minerva. Which do you prefer, baths or showers? I tried using a narrow bathtub for the first time after arriving Japan. As long as it's just once in a while, it's nice enough. **He has a real bathtub at his disposal in Ashford though, does he barely use it ?** When did you first fall in love? (And with whom?) I'd rather keep that to myself. **Incest. It's complicated to describe.** Your greatest failure? When I couldn't protect my mother and sister. How do you vent your frustrations?

I determine the root reason of my frustrations and take care of it. Then there's nothing to vent anymore.

Who would you say is your personal hero? My mother. **Obviously this interview happened before R2** Indoor type? Outdoor type? I won't bother thinking about that, as I can't imagine the interest of this categorization. What's in your wallet?

There is no cash. I use credit card.

Special skill?

I suppose you can say I'm clever with my hands.

How do you go to school?

I live on campus.

When have you been glad to be a man? I've never imagined what it would be like to be a woman. **impressive given he had to cross dress quite a few times** What do you most want to eat right now?

Curry Udon. This food surpasses cultural barriers.

Describe your ideal family situation.

In traditional Japanese architecture, there's this concept of a central pillar. A single pillar that supports the entire house. I think the head of a household should be like that. **This is so Lelouch like, it's the very fondation of how he acts with the one he loves, he had to endure everything.*

Favorite season?

Winter. Because it helps me keep focus. I don't really like summer, it brings back unpleasant memories.

Do you get up easily in the morning, or is it a struggle? I kind of struggle. I have low blood pressure, after all. How many hours of sleep do you get on average? Approximately three ? But, with some naps throughout the day, it might be more like six hours. Your last dream? I dreamt a meteorite landed on and crushed me. I blame C.C.'s atrocious sleeping posture.

**He never actually accepted to sleep on the floor right ? I can totally see C.C. kicks him in the guts while dreaming**

How much time does it take you to get ready in the morning? I've never paid attention. Do you have anyone you admire? Arthur. Please tell us how you spend your holidays. Holiday? this concept is unknown to me (He never takes holiday)

Western food or Japanese food? What is western food ? Oh, a generic term? Then, western, I guess, I like Italian. **I never would have imagined Lelouch craving italian food, I hope it's not again because of pizza hut, this is not italian food** If you could be born again, what would you like to be? Arthur.

What have you been really into lately? Creating an organization, I suppose. Your favorite animal? Cats. They're lithe and beautiful. Like a waltz. Even if Arthur is more like a pop song.

Of the necessities of life (clothing, food, shelter), which is the most important? Shelter. It's a person's base of operations, as well as their place of refuge; It is fundamental to any country.

**Ahh Lelouch...** Sorry to spring this on you, but what is love? Something given unconditionally. **Something he indeed gave unconditionnally at the end of the anime ** Please take a guess at what you'll be like 30 years from now. I'd like you to pray for me that my hair won't become anything like that man's… *....*

If you could travel through time, when would you go back?

I guess, if I would still remember what I actually know, I'd be able to prevent all of it from happening…

Favorite book? (Or what magazines do you read frequently?) Lord of the Rings, The prince of Machiavel, Hamlet… **Of course they had to mention the prince, but the lords of rings ? One might wonder who were his favorite characters and what he loved about this story** Your preferred type of woman? A soft person. You know what I mean ?

*Fuwa fuwa na ito >> As a toughtful blogger reminded me, Lelouch said person, not woman ;) ; Fuwa fuwa with the "you know what I mean ?" can actually means something more ecchi than soft girls, so it's either soft (sweet girls) or soft (ecchi sense) girls, or both (or boys, no gender preference over here). Lelouch could have been more hormonal than we knew**

Is it better to devote yourself, or to have someone else devote themselves to you? I find it more fulfilling to want than to be wanted.

**Why not both Lelouch ?**

Did you receive any Valentine's Day chocolate? How much?

I will not answer that. …"probably none ?" I got some! Not as many as Nunnally, though, for whatever reason.

**Now that is surprising, wasn't the whole school head over heel in love with him ?**

What would you do with a million yen? (Like if you won the lottery?) I'd invest them and make ten times the ammount. What type of person is Suzaku? Softhearted to the point of turning stupid We've already reached the forty-ninth question. Are you getting tired? I've been tired since question 5.

What do you want for Christmas? A sewing machine. I plan to update my cloak and mask.

ꕥ — WELCOME TO MARE COSMIA, NUNNALLY VI BRITANNIA. 🌗

ꕥ  — OOC INFORMATION;

name / alias: Sam/Sammi age: 27 Pronouns: commonly they/she but any are fine ooc contact: @ sorunort on twitter other characters in xc: Elizabeth Afton, Vanessa A., Kasque

  ꕥ  — IC INFORMATION;

name: Nunnally vi Britannia age: 16 Pronouns: she/her series: Code Geass canon point: Post-Anime (Pre-Resurrection movie)

app triggers: Parental death, murder, colonialism, war, harm to a child, sibling death.

 personality:

Despite the hardships in her life, Nunnally is a gentle soul. She’s a very kind and empathetic girl, as her greatest wish is for the world to become a peaceful place. At times she can be lonesome, wishing her brother, Lelouch, would stay home with her, so she appreciates company. Nunnally is capable of making tough decisions, and will shoulder burdens if it means creating the world she wants to see, though not without some heartache. There are also times where she’s fed up with people lying to her or perhaps pitying her because of her disabilities and she puts her foot down. Ultimately she just doesn’t want anyone to suffer and wishes for people to get along.

something your muse struggles with: Dependency. Nunnally relies on people to take care of her, and this isn’t a bad thing, but it prevents her from changing the world. Nunnally wants to change the world in her own way, namely through gentler methods like peace ties between countries, and she ends up becoming the viceroy of Japan so that she can achieve this goal and hopefully make a greater impact. But even then she is used as a political figurehead and rarely gets to make any big decisions of her own. Her dependency has resulted in her being lied to, kidnapped, held hostage, and left to deal with the consequences of Zero’s rebellion on her own. 

your muse’s greatest strength: Kindness. At her core, Nunnally yearns for peace and an end to fighting. Unlike Lelouch, Nunnally can’t be as cold or calculating as him, and he once said Nunnally’s smile is her greatest characteristic- since she can’t see or walk and needs assistance, her way of expressing gratitude is through her smile, as it’s the least she can do in return.

history / background:

It wouldn’t be a stretch to say Nunnally’s life revolves around her older brother, Lelouch. Born as Prince and Princess to Britannia’s Royal Family, the siblings lived relatively carefree early lives together alongside their mother and half siblings. However that all changed when their mother was murdered and Nunnally’s legs were paralyzed in the attack. She lost her sight shortly thereafter as well. Their father, the Emperor, sent Lelouch and Nunnally away to Japan as political hostages. They stayed at the Kururugi shrine and met Suzaku there. The three kids became the best of friends.

Unfortunately, Britannia invaded Japan a few months later, and the siblings were listed as among the casualties, when in reality they’d gone into hiding. The Ashford family took them in and enrolled Lelouch and Nunnally into their academy under the surname ‘Lamperouge.’ Given her disabilities, Nunnally relied heavily on Lelouch to take care of her, and after everything they’d been through she couldn’t bear the thought of ever being separated. So long as she could stay with Lelouch, she would be happy.

Seven years passed. Nunnally lived a normal life attending school and living with her brother. One day they made a pinky promise not to lie and Lelouch asked what she wished for. Nunnally answered she wished for the world to become a gentle place. Slowly things started to change after that. A girl named CC showed up so she showed her how to make origami. Lelouch was gone more frequently. Suzaku enrolled in the Ashford Academy. A rebellion sparks in Japan between Britannia and a group calling themselves The Black Knights. She’s kidnapped and rescued. Her half-sister, Princess and sub-viceroy Euphemia, visits and they get to talk and reminisce about their childhood and how they both wished they could go back to the old days.

Euphemia is killed.

Nunnally is kidnapped yet again only this time Lelouch never makes it to her rescue. The Britannian Emperor holds her hostage for a year until Nunnally becomes the next Viceroy of Japan so that she may continue Euphemia’s work on peace operations. Eventually she discovers the truth of everything- that Lelouch is Zero, the leader of the rebellion, with a power known as Geass. He and Suzaku have been lying to her about everything from the beginning.

Her beloved big brother was now her enemy, and she was the last obstacle standing in his way.

Remembering Olympic Gold Medalist Florence 'Flo-Jo' Griffith Joyner

— September 21, 2023 | By Ashley Montgomery

Twenty-five years ago, Olympic gold medalist Florence Griffith Joyner, better known as "Flo-Jo," died in her sleep.

Known for her style — long painted nails and colorful one-legged running suits — Griffith Joyner was also celebrated for being the fastest woman to run the 100 meter and 200 meter sprints.

The 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul

Griffith Joyner broke the 100 Meter World Record with a time of 10.49 seconds during the Olympic qualifiers in 1988.

Griffith Joyner broke the 200 Meter World Record during the 1988 Summer Olympics in Seoul, South Korea. Griffith Joyner, Gwen Torrence and Evelyn Ashford were teammates for the USA Team and wore red and white leotards. Griffith Joyner was in lane five, wearing a gold bracelet on each wrist and gold earrings.

At the start of the race, as the camera focused on her face, she smiled. She Crossed the Finish Line in 21.34 seconds to take the Gold Medal and set a new World Record in the process. When the race was over, she kneeled on the ground and pressed her hands into the track, her long red, white, blue and gold-painted nails visible to the world.

Griffith Joyner won two more Gold Medals at the Seoul Olympics — in the 100 Meter and the 4 x 100 Meter relay events — and became a household name.

Her success helped her land endorsement deals in Japan as well as acting parts and cameos on American television — including the soap opera "Santa Barbara" and the sitcom "227." Griffith Joyner worked with LJN Toys, who marketed a doll in her likeness — long painted nails and one-legged running suit included.

Griffith Joyner's style and speed brought her international fame, but her performance at the Olympics would become clouded by skepticism. A year after the games, in 1989, a former American track athlete named Darrell Robinson told a European magazine that Griffith Joyner gave him money to buy her growth hormones (Black Bastard lying. There is no proof).

Griffith Joyner denied the allegations, and told the New York Times, "It's all fabricated lies about drugs. I'd be a fool to take drugs."

In 1998, sports commentator John Feinstein told NPR's Morning Edition, "The rumors were there in 1988 in Seoul and I think the first thing to point out is that she never tested positive," he said.

"But she became a star late. She was 28 years old then ... Those rumors are always going to be there, and they were something she was asked about throughout her career, and which she always denied."

The medical commission for the International Olympic Committee says it conducted rigorous drug testing on Griffith Joyner during the 1988 Olympics — and she always tested negative.

Griffith Joyner spoke with journalist Ann Liguori in 1991 about the allegations: "I knew that I had never taken drugs so I didn't let that bother me when people said. I knew that it was a thing that was in the news," she said.

"People were looking for things to point fingers at athletes. I just tried not to take it personal and to just concentrate on the things I had to do and to move on."

Griffith Joyner Retires From Track

On Feb. 22, 1989, five months after the Olympic games in Seoul, Griffith Joyner announced her retirement from track.

When discussing her retirement with Liguori, Griffith Joyner said, "I retired in 1989 because I could no longer train 100%, in which I'm used to training. If I can't give it my all, I don't want to give it at all."

Griffith Joyner moved on with her life. She became a mom, pursued fashion design and continued to combine sports and style. She even designed the 1990 NBA uniforms for the Indiana Pacers.

Griffith Joyner also served as the first female co-chair of the U.S. President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports — a federal advisory committee to promote health and physical activity — under former President Bill Clinton. At the White House in 1994, Griffith Joyner spoke about the importance of physical fitness.

"All of us have sometimes mouthed the excuse that we're just too busy, that we don't have the time to exercise or be physically active," she said.

"Well, if our busiest citizen, President Clinton, can make the time to run regularly, and become physically active, then I know there are ways for each one of us can find the time and make the time."

Florence Delorez Griffith Joyner (born Florence Delorez Griffith; December 21, 1959 – September 21, 1998), also known as Flo-Jo, was an American track and field athlete and the fastest woman ever recorded . She set world records in 1988 for the 100 m and 200 m. During the late 1980s, she became a popular figure due to both her record-setting athleticism and eclectic personal style.

Flo-Jo's Legacy

Griffith Joyner made an attempt to compete in the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta. But an injury prevented her from qualifying — and she never competed in the Olympics again.

Two years later, Griffith Joyner died from an Epileptic Seizure caused by an abnormality of blood vessels in her brain.

After she died, allegations of performance-enhancing drugs resurfaced.

The IOC medical commission president Prince Alexandre de Merode released a statement about Florence Griffith Joyner after her death: "We performed all possible and imaginable analyses on her. We never found anything. There should not be the slightest suspicion."

Today, Griffith Joyner is enshrined as one of the greatest athletes in track for revolutionizing women's sprinting with both her speed and her fashion. And more than 35 years after her victories at the summer games in South Korea, she still holds the world records for the 100 and 200 meter sprints.

7 From the Women with Eri Blossom

Eri Blossom is a NYC based singer, rapper, and songwriter. Her music is strongly influenced by Japanese and American culture, which shows listeners a view they’ve never seen. Growing up in Japan with parents who loved American and British culture, it wasn’t difficult for her to get into classic R&B and Hip-Hop such as Chaka Khan, Whitney Houston, TLC, Tupac, Janet Jackson, and more.

After she moved to Tokyo from her hometown to continue her music study, she had opportunities to sing at night clubs and was able to visit NYC to take the class by the daughter of Ray Charles, Sheila Raye Charles. 

During the trip, she had some opportunities to do street performances and interact with the audience. This experience convinced her to move to NYC. Since her move, she has earned a bachelor's degree in Jazz studies from the City College of New York where she expanded her influence to Jazz music. She has also performed in open mics at well-known music venues in New York City, such as Village Underground, Ashford and Simpson’s Sugar Bar, Harlem Nights, The Groove and Negril BK.

We had the honor of speaking with Eri Blossom about her new music, her musical career, what's next, and so much more!

What Have You Been Working To Promote Lately?

I recently released my 2nd single “Breakthrough” The song is about one of my themes as an  artist; women’s rights. I want to present a new way of being a Japanese woman and break the stereotype of Japanese women. The song is a mix of Japanese Koto instrument and some 2000’s  hiphop vibes. It’s a very energetic song. 

I was born and raised in Japan. When I lived in Japan, I always felt that I was an outsider  because my personality never met the ideal Japanese woman; conservative, elegant and quiet.  I’m naturally assertive and was the type that always spoke up in school. It became a liability in  Japan. I felt worthless and this pressure made me think that I have to be like them. After I  moved to NYC, my personality became stronger, which allows me to increase my self acceptance and enjoy myself.  

And I thought that I would like to support women through my music by verbalizing the pressure  that we feel subconsciously. 

There are stories that I believe I only can tell. This song is the beginning of it.

Please tell us about your favorite song written, recorded or produced by another woman and why it’s meaningful to you 

My Life by Mary J. Blige. As an artist, I was looking for perfection in myself. I wanted to sound perfect and tried to be someone else. But this song made me realize rawness and imperfection  is what speaks to people. In this song, she just expresses herself instead of singing perfectly,  which makes her message stronger. Also, we tend to hide the negative side of ourselves.  Because we don’t want to be hurt or be criticized. But she shows her vulnerability in this song which means she faced her pain as an artist. I personally think she is brave doing it because it’s  not that easy. That realization has been helping to build up the core of my artistry.  

What does it mean to you to be a woman making music/in the music business today and do you feel a responsibility to other women to create messages and themes in your music? 

To me, it’s a battleground. I wish it were not. But unfortunately, it is. There are many traps and  people who try to take an advantage of you. My case is the worst because I’m a foreigner from  Japan. Because English is my second language and many people assume that I’m quiet due to  my nationality, which is a big mistake! haha 

I’ve worked with a music engineer who didn’t listen to me at all and imposed his ideas for  mixing. He also neglected to reply to my messages for several weeks. I eventually figured out a  way to convey what I expected him to do, because I talked to other experienced female artists  who shared their wisdom with me. It’s also unfortunate to hear from them that it’s the culture.  This experience made me aware of this issue and made me want to support other woman  artists. Actually this experience also inspired me to write my second single.  

What is the most personal thing you have shared in your music or in your artist brand as it relates to being female? 

Japanese girls are given traditional Japanese dolls which are called Hina Dolls. We wish health  for girls at Girl’s festival on March 3. There is a saying that the girl will get married late if you  don’t put away the doll right after the festival. I grew up hearing message and it pressured me  subconsciously. I decided to include it in my second single. 

Who was the first female artist that made you want to create music / be in the business?

There is a famous Japanese R&B singer called MISIA. I still remember the excitement when I listened to her album for the first time. I just wanted to become a singer like her and practiced her songs all the time.  

Who's Your Favorite Female Icon (dead or alive) and why? 

TLC! I started taking hip-hop dance classes at age 9 before I started taking vocal classes. I was  told to dance choreographies with TLC songs. Classmates dressed up like TLC or Janet Jackosn,  which I really love. This experience introduced me to the street culture and became the  foundation of my music.  

What do you hope to share with other women in the industry with your music? 

Empowerment. Encouragement. I understand that sometimes it’s hard to make music as a woman artist, but I’m here for you. Don’t be afraid of being you and raising your voice!

Euphemia and what could have happened if she lived. Spoilers before you start reading.

Euphemia mentions, as she's dying, that she never finished school before being appointed as co-manager of Japan alongside Cornelia, and Suzaku also said she could attend Ashford Academy, mentioning she would really enjoy it and have a lot of fun. Who knows what would have happened if that series of events took place? I like to think it would have solved a lot of issues for a number of characters, most notably Lelouch himself. Euphemia could have encouraged Shirley, even with her memory wiped, to pursue her heart's desire (Lelouch) just as she pursues Suzaku because she loves him. This could have potentially helped Shirley come to terms with Lelouch's life as Zero and allow her to forgive him for her father's death sooner. Euphemia also would have been able to meet Nina much more freely to make sure she doesn't unleash the F.L.E.I.J.A. nuke later on, allowing Nina to be more well-adjusted without being torn apart by grief. And of course, Suzaku would be able to pursue his ideals without being as stubborn; he would be more willing to compromise with Zero, simply because Euphemia would ask him to, as she already knows Lelouch is the one behind the mask. He would have a good reason to not be suicidal anymore, since Euphemia would become his purpose for living with, and atoning for, his mistakes.

It wasn’t that difficult… A simple search on the internet brought up two of Light Yagami’s incredibly outdated social media profiles (which suggested a disinterest in social networking sites), the boy’s name on last year’s article about Japan’s top ranked students, Light’s achievements in tennis, and… a news article headline from an educational institution that Lelouch knew all too well.

Arabesque, Rolo's character song, sung by Takahiro Mizushima

Audio Drama "The Village of Kururugi, Dwelling of Evil Spirits, A Really Scary Geass"

The Drama begins as Suzaku happens to be back at the Kururugi temple, musing about nostalgic memories of his past there, with Nunnally and Lelouch;

Lelouch, Gino, Anya, Rolo and C.C. have come to the Kururugi temple, seemingly to everyone's belief, to enjoy a festival, but it turns out they mistook Lelouch because he meant a matsuri (offering to the God living in the temple) and they understood omatsuri (festival) As Anya and C.C. are bored by the perspective, Gino wonders what Suzaku plans to do there, to which Lelouch replies he doesn't know but that the Kururugi temples isn't the same as most temple in Japan. Anya is seemingly wearing a miko garb, while Lelouch keeps on explaining things about how some stuff about this temple is weird, Gino and Anya are all about doing some cliche tourist stuff and Lelouch gets pissed at them not even trying to listen.

Suzaku then interrupts them, noticing how they have followed him only to discover what he planneds to do by coming over there; He also notices how Anya's miko isn't very miko like as she wears a very shot skirt; C.C. then mentions she once cosplayed with a similar miniskirt and Lelouch and Suzaku tried to imagine that before C.C. calls them back to reality.

Eventually Suzaku get his stuff ready to perform the ritual (which has nothing in common with usual shintoist ritual) as it involved the blood of a behaded chicken, a cursed straw doll and a sword which was drown in criminal's blood. Suzaku wants to seal demonic spirit for it is the role of the Kururugi temple, and the seal has weakened so it needs to be renewed.

Suzaku then begins to say basic stuff like "disappear evil spirit" to everyone's delusion as it is very simple and an evil spirit with emperor Charles's voice eventually appear; As Suzaku can't defeat the evil spirit he decides to use Lancelot but gets defeated anyway; Gino then uses tristan but gets killed, just like Rolo when he tries to use both his geass and his Vincent;

Lelouch then decides to step up and use an all time technique to defeat the spirit, which is to simply deny it's existence (okay this one was good, that is so Lelouch) before calling him out on his lack of closed relatives and him being an illusion. He also tries to use geass but it doesn't work; The spirit gets super angry at that and threatens to eat them all. Xing-ke and Tianzi suddenly intereferes, with Kaguya as well, Xing ke mentions that his family mastered several art like the ones of Feng Shui (…) and that he can defeat the spirit.

He then motivates everyone to yell a nonsensical formula to destroy the spirit, but after several trials it doesn't work and the spirit take out Xing-ke. The spirit then propose to avoid destroying them all if the most beautiful woman around is willing to give herself as a sacrifice; Upon hearing that, Girls begin to fight in order to decide who should be the sacrifice cause they all think they are the prettiest. Eventually C.C. decides to use the power of…Ichirou Okouchi in order to defeat the evil spirit which …works, since he is the creator of Code Geass. As all the survivors leave carefree and hungry we get a glimpse of all the defeated who have been left behind and ask for rescue.

Audio Drama "Naked Lelouch" You can listen to the original audio drama right here

This Drama is about the art week festival which happens in Ashford, and really begins when Rolo enters the student council room, visibly tired; Surprised, Milly wonders what's wrong and Rolo tells her it's because of the Art sessions, Shirley sighs and understands; Milly doesn't understand and they explain that Rolo is tired because he had to be a model for the other students because of the Art festival; as Milly is super disappointed to not know about it, Shirley summarizes the event and end up mentionning Lelouch was the model last year, to Milly and Rolo's surprise; She then imitates how people asked him to not move and to not change his expression ; Rolo gets all dere dere thinking about how it's similar to him; Milly on her side is very unhappy that she didn't knew and didn't witness Lelouch's demise; We then skip to Lelouch entrance, seemingly looking for Rolo to talk about cooking, when Milly welcomes him with a very well done Charles's imitation of his "RuRushuuu" before they switch to the topic of the art week; Milly wants Lelouch to get naked so they can draw him and of course, Lelouch doesn't want to; He begins to think of all the reasons why he doesn't want that, such as they might draw him poorly before he gets back on his feet and reminds Milly that if she forces him to be a nude model, she'd have his fans who'd blame her and she might lose her seat as president. Milly is shocked at his idea to use women against him but Lelouch is very satisfied with himself. Lelouch then proposes Rivalz as model, Rivalz seems ready to sacrifice himself for Milly's happiness but Milly…doesn't want him.

Meanwhile, Rolo is all admirative of his big brother being able to get out of it of his own before the attention shifts to him, Indeed if neither Lelouch or Rivalz can do it, Rolo will have to do it; Milly then compliments his look and makes him feel quite uncomfortable before Lelouch reminds him it's an order from the president of the student council, to which Rolo is like "Brother ?!" Rolo then begins to think about ways to get out of this mess without endangering Lelouch but suddenly Lelouch intervenes and reminds Milly that she can't have his little rother be naked in front of a crowd, to Rolo's relief; He then implies that to protect Rolo he'd be willing to do it but Rolo intervenes and says he'll do it if it's for Lelouch's sake; As they are in their very brother moment Milly realizes she is the mean one there while Rolo is all happy in his thoughts because Lelouch wanted to protect him; Suzaku eventually arrives, all cheerful as usual and as Milly begins to try and bribe him for her project with her super sweet voice he rejects her offer without even leaving her the chance to say it; Gino comes in after him shortly and the evil mind of Milly and Lelouch combined decide to have him be the prey, by talking about how Lelouch is the only one who can do what they need for the next event; Suzaku tries to warn him but is shut down by the others, and Gino falls into the trap because if Lelouch can do it, he can also do it; They manage to have everyone "agreeing", leading Gino to agree and he ends up in the position that you can imagine, much to Milly's satisfaction.

That's about it for This audio Drama, The second one could very well have happened as it's not pure crack, like the first one and last one of the R2 sound drama but it's a mess so it's up to you how you want to consider it; Hope you enjoyed ~
