Title: President Grass and Pizza

Writer: Suika

Season: Summer

-----------

Rinne: (Hehe, today’s my lucky day!)

(Who knew I'd bag a big win in the slot machines today! Ain't that enough to make up for my losses this month?)

(I thought that of course I'd come home and celebrate, but I pro'lly got carried away and bought too many ingredients.)

(Well, not that I need to worry about leftovers when Niki's right there.)

(I gotta get back quick and let Niki—… Hm? That guy over there is…)

Hajime Shino-kun from Ra*bits, ain't it?

Hajime: Amagi-senpai? Hello~

Rinne: He~ya. Thrillin' to know that you remember this li'l ol' me's name.

So, what're ya hidin’ in the grass for? Up to somethin’ sneaky?

Are you buryin’ treasure or somethin'? Ya look like a little puppy digging like that~

Hajime: Oh, no. I just came to pick these up.

Rinne: Huh. Your bag has…some leaves and grass?

Hajime: That's right! I got quite a lot of them ♪

Rinne: Pickin' up wild grass, huh… Why?

Hajime: ? I'm going to eat them, of course?

Rinne: ………Ah, I got it. I can see what you're up to now.

That's for a TV show, isn't it? You should've told me earlier~

Hajime: Oh, this isn't for TV though? It's just that I got a craving for it since it's been a while since I ate these so I went here and got some.

Rinne: ………………

(From what I remember, aren't Ra*bits supposed to be a popular unit?)

(Well, not as much as UNDEAD or Akatsuki from the same agency but… each member seems to be goin’ strong in their own way, right?)

(So to see him here picking up grass like this… Never thought they're in deep shit that they can't even properly keep their stomachs full.)

'S that so? But ain't Seisoukan fully stocked with food? There's also lots of snacks in the ES break room, yeah?

If you're havin' trouble finding something to eat, ain't those better places to search in?

If anyone sees their precious idol foraging for grass in a place like this, that's not really a good look with the public, y'know?

Hajime: Trouble finding something to eat…?

Ah, no! You've got it wrong! I'm not gathering grass like this because I'm having trouble with money!

When I got on the phone with my family, we happened to talk about how we used to eat grass a lot when I was younger.

And then I just suddenly craved that nostalgic taste so I came here to pick these up. I normally eat properly, so please don't worry that much about it~

Rinne: Oh, so that's it? You made me uncharacteristically nervous for a sec there.

Hajime: I'm sorry for making you worry.

Rinne: Nah, don't mind it. My fault for jumpin' to conclusions so fast.

In fact, those grass growin' out there are delicious too. I also used to forage for them back when I was a li'l boy so I get ya, Hajime-kun.

I even used to go to the mountains to pick up some edible wild plants.

Thanks to that, I got some basic stuff down when it comes to edible grass. This one and this one can be eaten. This one's not. This one's edible too, but it's not really good.

Hajime: Wow! You didn't miss any! You're really knowledgeable about them!

Rinne: Hehe, told ya right? This ol' me won't ever lie ♪

This one's tasty if you blanch it a little. And this one's something that only Niki could munch on.

Hajime: Huh?! Shiina-senpai can eat this? I had an upset stomach when I ate this one by mistake.

Rinne: Yeah, same here. After eating it, I felt like dyin' the next day—couldn't move at all. But that guy's all fine and dandy.

Maybe it's got somethin' that only his stomach can digest. He's the one who cooked it, after all.

Hajime: Shiina-senpai is really good with cooking, isn't he? ♪

Rinne: Yeah. That guy's real good with his hands when it comes to food. Everything he makes is delicious. When I get home, I'll have him cook for me; that's why I got a lot of stuff here with me.

Hajime: Oh, that's indeed a lot. Let's see… Cheese, ketchup… There's also salami and basil… Are you planning to make pizza?

Rinne: Spot on ♪ Niki's pizza's always bangin', y'know? I end up eating too much if I don't watch it.

Hajime: Fufu, that's wonderful! Are you celebrating something today?

Rinne: Celebrating? No, not really…

Hajime: Huh? Is it okay to eat pizza on a normal day?

Back in my home, I was taught that pizza is a treat that you only eat on special occasions.

Rinne: Oh, is it now?

My bad, my bad. You're right, Hajime-kun. Of course, today is a special day~

And it's somethin' so important that we can't ever, ever forget about! None other than President Pizza's birthday!

Hajime: President Pizza's birthday?! I never knew about the existence of someone that great!

Rinne: You don't know him, Hajime-kun?! Man, that's really, really bad.

Hajime: W-What's wrong with it…?

Rinne: When it's President Pizza's birthday, everyone's gotta feast on some pizza.

If you only knew about it today, then I guess Hajime-kun never got to eat anything these past years, huh…

If that's the case, then it ain't good if you don't eat all those years' lost servings of pizza…

Hajime: All those years' lost servings of pizza… Are you saying that I should eat 17 years' worth of them?!

Rinne: Ah, then what I have here won't be enough. I gotta get back and grab some more ingredients, huh…

Hajime: I can't possibly eat that much!

Can't you do something to help me?! If I eat that much pizza, I'll end up hating it!

Rinne: Pfft… Ha…

Kyahahaha! Your reaction's takin' me out, Hajime-kun!

Hajime: This isn't a laughing matter! Uuu~ what am I supposed to do now?

Rinne: Don't ya worry your pretty li'l head. I was just messin' with you. That's a lie.

Hajime: A lie..? From which point was it a lie?

Rinne: Everything startin' from President Pizza's birthday.

Hajime: So, uhm… I don't have to stuff myself full of pizza until my stomach explodes?

Rinne: Yup. President Pizza doesn't exist.

Hajime: T-Thank god…

Rinne: I didn't expect you'd just take all of that without even questioning me.

You gotta put it in your head to suspect people a little more from now on, 'kay? Shino "Majime"-kun~ ♪ [1]

Hajime: Geez, you're so mean to deceive me like that, Amagi-senpai! You really scared me back there!

Rinne: Come on, sorry for bein' like that~

Oh, got it. As an apology for messin' with ya, lemme treat you to some pizza.

Hajime: …Are you sure you're not lying this time?

Rinne: Kyahahaha! Talk about a fast learner! Ya immediately got on your toes and suspected me! You take things so seriously. You really are Majime-kun, huh?

Hajime: M-My name is "Hajime"!

Rinne: Yessir~ Come on, let's bounce back home and have a feast! ♪

And while we're at it, let's use those grass you picked and make some wild grass pizza!

Hajime: W-Wah, please don't just drag me around, Amagi-senpai!

NOTES:

[1] “Majime” / まじめ = lit. means as a person who’s earnestly sincere and honest, and therefore takes things seriously at its face value. It’s a syllable off Hajime’s name, which makes it funnier given how Rinne has a penchant for giving silly nicknames to people he encounters.

Also can I just point out how Hiiro, who’s actually Hajime’s classmate and therefore theoretically closer to him, calls him “Shino-kun” (last name) while Rinne calls him “Hajime-kun” (first name) right off the bat. I just think his shamelessness is hilarious LOL

[checkoutmybookshelf]

Ok, something has been bugging me about Dain and his signet, and I want to talk about it for a second.

I was thinking back over Fourth Wing and Iron Flame to see if there were any moments where Vi consented to having her memories read, and not only was the answer no, somethig HELLA chilling popped up when I went back to check the text.

When Xaden explains to Vi that Dain has to touch someone's face to read their memories, her response is "...that's how he always touches me" (Fourth Wing, 450). I get that Dain's signet is secret and he can't just TELL Vi what he can do when he catches her immediately after she crosses the parapet, but one of the first things he does in that scene is take her chin (Fourth Wing, 32) in his fingers. He establishes a pattern of behavior, normalizes his touching her face as a habit. And yes, it could be argued that not touching her face would also give away his signet somehow, but as the person with knowledge, Dain is responsible for the ethics of using and setting patterns around his signet. He either had to just...NOT touch her face, which child be justified by not wanting to make her look weak or come clean. But Dain "my heart is a rulebook" Aetos does neither. And what does THAT do? It puts Vi in a vulnerable as hell position with someone she thinks she is safe with.

Even take the rebellion and Athebyne out if the equation for a sec. Vi almost certainly has memories that are just simply private. Not a massive secret, not a liability, just HERS. And for a huge part of the book, she is just letting Dain touch her face, potentially opening up memories she doesn't want him to know about to his signet. That is a power dynamic so absolutely fucky that I don't have words for it. And then we circle back to the reality that Dain did cross the line and try to take memories by force in Fourth Wing--and succeeding the one time we know about got Liam and Deigh killed. And this is just the main example that we know about. I'm not ruling out that there were other examples still to come to light; we have three books to go in this series.

I honestly also wouldn't have put it past Dain to do a quick memory check when he holds Vi's face at threshing before he kisses her (Fourth Wing, 191). He was NOT happy with Xaden for interfering, and I suspect he wanted a look at what happened without Xaden's input. This is purely my theory, there's no real textual evidence, but I am sus. He also cups her face again the day after threshing (Fourth Wing, 203), which is actively a worse choice I'd he slept on it and THEN checked her memories. I also find it wildly suspicious that the next time Vi sees Dain, she is with Tairn, who actively threatens Dains life if he comes within arm's reach of Vi (Fourth Wing, 215). We know Tairn knew things Vi didn't, so was he already preventing rebellion info from sliding to leadership?

Vi herself doesn't put a hard boundary on the face touching until Dain gets offended by Xaden accusing Amber of violating the codex and goes "gimme" (Fourth Wing, 244-245), but she sets it...for a while. The math on the Athebyne thing works out to Xaden telling Vi that's where he goes on page 391, and then Violet Goddamn Sorrengail gets nostalgic for Dain at the celebration with the king and everyone's parents and let's Dain cup her cheek again on page 405. Which is really goddamn tight timing when you think about it, because he touched her face at the beginning of this party, she and Xaden have their little tete a tete on the parapet, sneak off to have great sex for the rest of the night, and the next morning they are assigned to Athebyne. So Dain literally had to corner his Dad at the party and then Colonel Aetos probably spent the rest of the night changing the war game assignments and setting up Xaden's group to be killed.

Dain Aetos likes hard rules, but not ethics. This just gets even more screwy in Iron Flame, once Varrish gets his hooks in Vi.

If one wanted to be more generous than I'm feeling, one could say that Varrish was being polite about trying to get Dain to read Vi's memories in interrogation class (Iron Flame, 228-230), but honestly the motherfucker just saw an opportunity and rolled with it. And here is where Dain having the codex shoved far enough up his ass that it comes out his mouth is actually a win, because he rules-lawyered the spirit of the codex to refuse an order, but goddamn it was a close thing. This man was REACHING FOR VI'S FACE before he stopped himself.

I'm not like...surprised that Varrish isn't teaching our boy ethics, but I'm a little surprised Vi never called Dain's ass out for his lack of ethics regarding his signet. It's possible I read the Arrows of the Queen trilogy a few too many times though.

What Dain noticeably doesn't do the SECOND time Varrish drags him into an interrogation session with Violet is hesitate. Like he so fails to hesitate that VARRISH of all people has to remind Dain that he actually was taught ethics (Iron Flame, 316).

I think he deserves to experience everything Vi shows him, but the fact that it took THAT MUCH to get his head out of his ass? Yeah, no, we are not doing a Dain Aetos redemption arc.

Because when it comes right down to it, Dain was a) a shitty friend, b) absolutely godawful at ethics and morality, c) to married to rules for his own good, and d) knowingly put Violet in a vulnerable situation vis a vis his signet. Like...its a WAR COLLEGE. You're not running around touching people's faces on the regular anyway, just DONT. TOUCH. HER. FACE. Not before she knows about your signet at the very least, and probably not without her explicit consent after that, because here's the thing: at no point in Fourth Wing or Iron Flame did Dain EVER explicitly ask permission to touch Vi. He just DID it. Right from the beginning, after parapet, at threshing, and at the party, he just put hands on her without asking. And then in Iron Flame he's ordered to explicitly against her will, and as much as I love a good rescue, it does not excuse the massive ethical and consent breaches that have become a PATTERN with Dain.

So those are my thoughts about Dain, his signet, and ethics. All I can say is, I am still extremely not here for a Dain Aetos redemption arc.

Someday We’ll Be Together

Chapter 1: Welcome Home

————————————————————————-

(y/n's pov)

"Ues Mom, everything got packed!" - you

"Are you sure?? I don't want you to get here and realize you left something back in Louisiana because we're not going back for it!" - your mom

"Everything was put on the moving truck, I promise." - you

"Okay, sweetie, I'm so excited for you to get here!" - your mom

"I'm honestly excited to come home. I miss everyone." - you

"Robin and Jimmy are excited to see you too, they said they missed their bonus daughter." - your mom chuckled

Robin and Jimmy, Joe's parents.

Joe, as in Joe Burrow, had been my best friend from when I started walking to college graduation.

Joe was an insanely good football player, so he was drafted into the NFL after college. Luckily for him, he'd be able to move back to Ohio, where his parents were, and mine of course. I stayed in Louisiana for work purposes, and Joe and I drifted apart.

The thing is, before Joe and I drifted apart, I had a secret hidden from him.

It was kind of a big deal too.

I had a massive crush on Joe. Every time we made eye contact, I blushed, and every time his hand brushed against mine, I'd get butterflies.

I planned that I was going to tell him at our joint graduation party, but I chickened out.

——

Joe and I were in the kitchen by ourselves. Neither of us liked being the center of attention, so we were hiding from the party in the backyard.

"Uh. Joey, can I tell you something?" - you

"Of course-" - Joe

The sliding glass door opened, and Robin peeked her head in.

"Guys, get out here! This is your party, and everyone is asking where you guys are!" - Robin

"We will be out there in a sec!" - Joe

Robin sighed and retreated to the backyard after she shut the door.

"What'd you wanna tell me?" - Joe

"Uh. Never mind... I forgot" - you

“Oh, ok. Let's go. The quicker we get out there, the quicker we get to open our graduation presents!" - Joe grabbed your arm and started pulling you outside

——

I was so close to telling him but chickened out.

Now, we're barely even friends at this point. I haven’t talked to Joe in half a year.

"Sweetie, you there?" - your mom snapped you out of your daydream

"Oh yeah, sorry, I was daydreaming.” - you

"You started daydreaming after I mentioned Robin and Jimmy... any chance you're thinking about Joe?" - your mom

"Maybe.." - you

My mom was the only person I had told about my crush on Joe, and she was the one who told me I should get him alone at our graduation party and tell him.

"He still asks about you, you know." - your mom

"Really? I haven't talked to him in six months, Mom.” - you

"He comes over almost every day and talks to your dad about football. He asks me how you're doing. and if I've talked to you lately.” - your mom

"Does he know that I'm moving back?" - you

"Nope. We decided not to tell him so it would be a surprise. He's been feeling down ever since he tore his ACL. You being around will lift his spirits." - your mom

"That's if it's not awkward... Again, I haven't talked to him in half a year." - you

"You've known each other your whole lives." - your mom

"Yeah. Hey mom, I'm turning into the driveway now.” - you

I could hear my mom squeal. and I couldn't help but laugh.

It was so nostalgic turning into this driveway. Everywhere I looked in the yard, there was a memory from my childhood.

The Burrow's house was next door. Their home was on our right from the road's point of view.

We had a high fence on both sides of our property, but when Joe and I were 5, we had a gate put in so the Burrows could come over when they wanted by just walking through our yards.

I parked up in the same spot that I did when I was in high school, and before I could even unbuckle, my parents flew out of the front door.

Quickly jumping out of the car, I engulfed both my parents in a huge hug.

"My girl!!" - your mom

"I'm so glad you're back!" - your dad

"Come on, let's go inside." - your mom winked

"Oh no.. what'd you guys do?" - you

They pulled me inside, and I saw a huge "welcome home" banner hanging from the ceiling in front of the kitchen entrance.

Jimmy and Robin walked out of the kitchen with confetti cannons and popped them over my head. Robin held a small cake and handed it to me before Jimmy put a party hat on my head.

"Welcome home!!!" - Robin

"Oh my gosh! Thanks so much, guys!!" - you

"You're so welcome, sweetheart!" - Robin

I sat the cake down on the counter and hugged both of them.

"Welcome home, kiddo." - Jimmy

"Joe is at practice right now, but he should be back in about an hour. He’s going to be so excited." - Robin smiled

"I'm surprised you all were able to keep me coming home a secret." - you attempted to change the subject

"It was so hard to, trust me. We could only talk about it when he was gone. We practically shoved him out of the house an hour before he was even supposed to go to practice so we could get all this set up." - Robin

"Oh lord." - you laughed

"y/n, the moving truck is here!!" - your dad

"Thank god, I want to change clothes." - you

—

Everyone was upstairs helping me set up my room.

"Isn't it so funny that the last time you slept in this room, you were in high school?" - your mom

"Mhm. I was still young and didn't worry about the world.” - you

"Girl, you're still young. You don't get to say anything like that until you're at least in your mid 30's." - Robin

"Yeah. You're still significantly young, sweetheart." - your mom

"Okay, okay, I'm still young." - you laughed

"Uh, Joe just texted me. He’s home and wants to know where we are." - Robin looked at Jimmy

"Let's all go downstairs, y/n you stay in the kitchen. We'll all sit in the living room like normal." - Jimmy

We all followed Jimmy's plan, and all of us went downstairs and got into our places.

Robin texted Joe back and told him that they were over at our house. Just a few minutes later, he walked through the front door.

"What on earth? What's all this for?" - Joe

He looked at the banner and confetti on the floor and then looked back at everyone on the couch.

"Welcome home? I just went to practice.." - Joe

"It's not for you, you dork.” - Robin laughed

"Well then what is it?!" - Joe

"Go look in the kitchen.” - Robin smiled

Joe looked at her confused before he turned towards the kitchen and walked in.

I was hiding behind the fridge.

"What am I supposed to be looking for??" - Joe

I walked out from behind the fridge, and I watched Joe's jaw drop.

"Oh my god?! y/n!!" - Joe

He moved forward and pulled me into a hug.

"Hey Joe!" - you

"What- what is happening??" - Joe

Since his arms were still around me, Joe picked me up, spun me around, and then put me back down.

"I'm moving back home, the place I was working at shut down.. so I'm now living in my old bedroom." - you

"I can't believe you're back, I missed you." - Joe hugged you again

"I- I missed you too." - you

"We need to catch up. I need to know everything that I've missed.” - Joe

"Well, I've gotta unpack and get my room set up, but as soon as I have free time, we can hang out." - you

"I'm so sorry for not reaching out to you-." - Joe

"Aye, no, we can talk about that later. I need to know what's been up with you too." - you

"Nothing much, just a lot of football, but I don't want to talk about work, it's boring." - Joe

"Being an NFL player is boring?" - you raised an eyebrow at him

"Being an injured NFL player is boring.. and frustrating." - Joe

"Sorry Joe. I know it sucks." - you

"It's whatever. I'm really happy you're back, though, I missed my bestie." - Joe joked

"C’mon, we can talk while I unpack." - you started the kitchen and Joe followed you

—

(joes pov)

When I walked into the kitchen, I saw absolutely nothing but a cake.

"What am I supposed to be looking for??" - Joe

The next thing I knew, y/n walked out from behind the fridge. How has she gotten more beautiful since college?

"Oh my god?! y/n!!" - Joe moved forward and pulled you into a hug

As soon as my arms were around her, I felt the butterflies in my stomach.

"Hey Joe!" - you

"What- what is happening??" - Joe picked you up and spun you around and then put you back down

"I'm moving back home, the place I was working at shut down.. so I'm now living in my old bedroom" - you

"I can't believe you're back, I missed you." - Joe hugged you again

"I- I missed you too." - you

There are the butterflies again.

"We need to catch up. I need to know everything that I've missed.” - Joe

"Well, I've gotta unpack and get my room set up, but as soon as I have free time, we can hang out." - you

"I'm so sorry for not reaching out to you-." - Joe

"Aye, no, we can talk about that later. I need to know what's been up with you too.” - you

"Nothing much, just a lot of football, but I don't want to talk about work, it's boring." - Joe

"Being an NFL player is boring?" - you raised an eyebrow at him

"Being an injured NFL player is boring.. and frustrating." - Joe

"Sorry, Joe. I know it sucks." - you

"It's whatever. I'm really happy you're back, though, I missed my bestie.” - Joe joked

"C’mon, we can talk while I unpack." - you started out of the kitchen and Joe followed you

When I followed y/n into the living room, out of the corner of my eye, I could see our parents smirking at each other.

I gave them all the death stare but just got winks in return before I went upstairs with y/n.

—

(y/n's pov)

"it's kind of a mess right now, and there's boxes everywhere" - you

"I don't care.” - Joe shrugged and

"I mean, I know you wouldn't, but I don't want you to trip over a box or something." - you nodded in the direction of a joes leg brace

"I'm pretty good at maneuvering around. I want to help you set your room up because I feel terrible for not talking to you for so long. I need to explain to you why I didn't.." - Joe

"We can talk about that later, okay? Let's just catch up." - you

——

We had gotten done with my room and were now sitting on my bed. I was telling Joe about the friends I had made while in Louisiana when his phone went off because he was getting a call.

Joe picked up his phone and cursed under his breath when he read the caller ID, but he ended up declining the call and setting his phone down.

"Who was it?" - you

"Uhh, you remember Lexie Mathews?" - Joe

"The girl from the cheer squad at LSU?" - you

"Yeah, uh, she's my girlfriend. It was her who called." - Joe

"Oh." - you looked down

Of course, he has a girlfriend. And of course, it was someone like Lexie - blonde, blue-eyed, and perfect body.

"She's kinda the reason that I stopped talking to you..." - Joe

"What?" - you looked at him

"She didn't like that I told you everything and that I talked to you so much. She told me that I either stopped talking to you or she'd break up with me." - Joe

"Are you kidding me? And you chose her? I mean, I understand that she's your girlfriend, but we've been inseparable our whole lives, Joe. I was there for you way before her." - you

"I know, I know. I regret my decision so much, honestly. I'm so sorry." - Joe

"What's she gonna do when she finds out that you're talking to me in person?" - you

"She's not gonna find out. She lives in Kentucky, so she won't know." - Joe

“So I'm just going to be your friend in the shadows? Am I really that unimportant to you, Joe?" - you

"No, no, no. The exact opposite y/n. I don't want her to find out and make me not talk to you again." - Joe

"I think you should leave." - you

"What?" - Joe looked at me with hurt in his eyes

"I think you should leave Joe.." - you

"y/n, I’m sorry, I am. Our friendship means everything to me-" - Joe

"Clearly, it really doesn't mean that much to you because you ignored me for six months for a girl that practically bullied me in college." - you

"y/n-" - Joe

"Go, Joe." - you

Joe let out a defeated sigh and got up from the bed.

"I'm sorry." - Joe said before he walked out and shut the door behind him

As soon as the door shut, I flopped back on my bed and put my hands over my face.

Off to a great start.

[TL] PYSCHOBREAK/Chapter 1

[ This post uses Ois~su ♪ ]

Time: 10 days after the AIIE experiment.

Location: In the ES building, RhythmLink office

Rei: This is a grave set of circumstances.

Adonis: That gives me a sense of déjà vu.

Rei: Umu. I said those same words prior to our participation in the AIIE experiment.

Though this time, the situation is clearly much worse than before.

Kaoru: My head hurts. In more ways than one.

Koga: Ugh~...Durin’ it we had t’take sleepin’ medication, ‘n we kept wakin’ up ‘n goin’ back to sleep. My head’s a real mess.

I don’t feel like this real—

Kaoru: Ahaha, need me to pinch your cheeks for you?

Koga: Piss off, don’t touch me! I’ve already got a headache!

Adonis: I have one too, Oogami. During the one week of that experiment, I slept away half of each day—

Maybe because of that, I have this unusual feeling, like the boundary between reality and dream has become blurred.

Rei: If only this was a dream.

Let us summarise. For a week, we were isolated from the outside world in order to take part in the AIIE experiment. And during said week, mysterious phenomena have occurred.

We resided in the facilities, played cards and various games in our waking hours, all whilst being unable to participate in idol activities—

Yet. On the outside, us, UNDEAD, had a breakthrough and gained wild popularity.

Kaoru: What does that all mean? I know I said this before, but I feel like we're being conned.

Koga: Ain’t it just that fake versions of the real us have been made? That’s what I’m thinkin’ at least.

So whilst we’ve been away, those fake copies of us have been doin’ whatever the hell they like.

Rei: Umu. That is my understanding of the situation. Despite your head being all messed up, your intuition is still as sharp as ever, Koga ♪

Koga: Ya think so? Hehehe. It’s called wild intuition! I’m a noble wolf after all ♪

Kaoru: It’s cute when you don’t realise you’re being made fun of, Koga-kun.

Adonis: I understand but–

…who are these fakes?

Rei: That, is not yet clear. They have taken up the name HELLSING, and are performing radical, immoral activities which were the original concept for UNDEAD.

More specifically, they have not participated in any light-hearted variety shows and completely refrained from appearing on TV. Their focus is on stage performances only.

Kaoru: It’s kinda nostalgic, right?

Adonis: At Yumenosaki, that sort of thing was popular.

Rei: Umu. They have completely copied our songs, and are performing them with a strong rock theme. More radical than us, more immoral than us—

One could say that they are embodying the ideals that the world believed UNDEAD to have.

HELLSING is an orthodox, evolved version of UNDEAD that, in reality, could never happen.

Koga: Tch, even though they’re fake, they’re more real than us. We shoulda kept UNDEAD the same from the beginning instead’a changin’ things up.

Adonis: It’s already too late for that. It only worked when ES was first established.

Rei: It’s rather tedious to rehash the same argument. What we should discuss is what to do with those fakes that have suddenly appeared.

Koga: Huhh? It’s normal t’complain ya know? Those HELLSING guys are usin’ our songs without our permission, right?

Adonis: I see. If we sued for copyright infringement, we would most likely win.

Kaoru: We’ve spoken about this before, right? Like with the drawing AIs—

…Wait. I just thought of something that’s kinda impossible but.

Rei: I believe I am thinking the same as you. Speak your mind, Kaoru-kun.

Kaoru: You know. We took part in that weird experiment recently, right?

That AIIE experiment took place because they wanted to create AI idols.

And we had data from our brain taken—

Adonis: Wait, I think I understand what you’re saying.

But, is that even possible…?

Kaoru: If it was impossible, how did it take place~? ES is funding it because they know that their dreams could become reality, right?

Koga: Oi, wait a sec, what are you tryna say…?

I don’t believe it—

Rei: It doesn’t seem possible, no.

This is all guesswork at this point in time.

But there is a high probability that this HELLSING, these fake copies of ourselves, are a result of the AIIE experiment.

The Free! soundtrack art and the evolution of Haruka Nanase 🐟

aka: Dragon is obsessed with the Free! soundtrack and finds symbolism in everything

Ok, here I am again, overanalyzing aspects of the official art of Free! and finding symbolism too obvious or taken from heavens knows where, Specifically, and in honor of Haruka's birthday, I'm going to be talking about a subject that drives me completely crazy in a good way:

The album cover art of the soundtracks of the different seasons/films of the series

🏊‍♂️*** 🏊‍♂️

The Free! soundtrack makes me immensely happy, and for that matter, not only the music perfectly conveys the feelings and motives of each season and scene, but also the art of the album does it, in addition to showing the stage of the series and especially the character development of Haruka

Ever Blue Sounds

The first music album of the entire franchise,

In this first art we can see Haru with headphones made of bubbles in what appears to be an underwater environment.

I really like the shades of blue and the fragmented and triangular shapes, because despite giving a feeling of "imprisonment" due to the shades of colors, we have a kinder aura, the blue that surrounds Haru is bright and shinny, as if that light came from the surface...

And precisely we have Haruka, with an expression softly amazed and even nostalgic looking at the surface, that is to say: the origin of light

I think you already know where I want to go with this, Haru underwater, still sunk in the waters of the past, longing for the light that is on the surface

All this concept of Haru submerged and being guided to the surface by "the light" reminds me a lot of this specific part of the opening

it's too obvious the headphones are there because this is the soundtrack art, but imagining they had some kind of hidden meaning I would like to think that they symbolize how alienated and isolated that Haru was with his own feelings, stopping swimming as he usted to even tho he longed to swim again with his friends like that time,

Clear Blue Notes

The soundtrack of the second season (and of the following ones) is at times basically a variation and reference to the most important melodies of the first season, and the concept of art is also similar and seems to refer to the previous one but with a completely different attitude.

The environment is already more "watery" if we can say it that way, the darker shades of blue no longer occupy part of the the foreground and blend very nicely with the other tones, The same goes for the bubbles that hardly appear anymore.

However, we still have the light, here, in fact, way more clearer and more visible, the surface feels closer and the light surrounds everything. Haru here has an expression of amazement, that light getting closer, waiting for him, so coarse and beautiful, his attention is totally focused on that brightness, and from the pose he is in he gives us the feeling that he is about to follow it, to swim after it as freely as he can, as if he were about to reach out his hand towards that light, that light in a brand new scenery

JUST LOOK AT THE BRIGHTNESS IN HIS EYES, HES FINALLY KNOWIING THE FUTURE HE WANTS TO FOLLOW, THE WORLD HE WANTS TO BE PART OF IS JUST SO SLXNOENXLSNX

Deep Blue Harmony

I'll have my opinions about DTF but something undeniable is that the soundtrack is just so cool (i mean, this is where "Rhythm of a new sensation" appears), but, anyways, the intentions in this one are quite clear...

The surface is positioned right above Haruka, a smile is drawn on his face, the future its just around the corner, I feel that those circles In addition to being used to emphasize the light that now directly bathes Haru, it also gives me the feeling of "being accompanied" all of Haru's friends will be there to support him and he has returned to meet old "circles" of friends.

Over Blue Refrain

The soundtrack of the first part of The Final Stroke, unlike what happens with the soundtrack of the first and second season, here the music of the first part is actually a reference to the second part (specifically to the main melody "the final stroke"), and something paradoxical that I think happens with this art is that the pose, expression and environment seem to be a reference to the art of another album... but i'll talk about that in a moment.

HARU IS FINALLY ON THE SURFACE!!

The blue of the sky and the blue of the water that splashes they unite and contrast, Haru observes something, as if analyzing his new horizon, amazed and finally at the starting point to fulfill the dream...

Now, The reference and parallel I was talking about earlier is this:

Pure Blue Scenes

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

This is the art of the "Starting Days" soundtrack, and i love it so so much, Haruka's uncertainty, entering a new phase of her high school life and the inevitable changes that entails, his look, with a hint of nostalgia precisely turning to see the cherry blossom petals (aka: memories of the relay and specifically of Rin)

The parallel here is very straightforward, the entrance to the "new world" and changes and remember the true core of swimming (swim with friends / be free)

🏊‍♂️***🏊‍♂️

I could talk about the artwork for the character songs or the other movies, but to keep this short, I'll end with a quick mention of the artwork for The Final Stroke vol. 2 because it's literally the one that breaks the chain that I've been trying to explain and that threw me off when I first saw it, but hey, here I go

Never Ending Blue

To be honest as much as i totally adore the TFS2 soundtrack the cover of this latest album makes me quite boring compared to the others, but it still has its charm...

A determined expression, Haruka in a more "sketch style" as if implying that it is the beginning of a new era.

I think that one of the reasons why this cover doesn't cause me much emotion is because it looks more like a cover that one could find on some music record without thinking that has to do directly with a series or something like that is how I feel, and precisely thinking about this was that I remembered what album it vaguely reminded me of:

This is the OLCODEX album in which Rage On (the opening of the first season of de Free!) can be found (there is also the single but conveniently let's ignore that), the design of their albums is similar to each other and, idk, im probably reading too much into it but my theory is that by having an OLCODEX song for the anime one last time, the soundtrack art is a tribute to the album where the first song comes out...

ANYWAYS, THAT WAS MY RAMBLING OF THE DAY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY HARUKA, THANK YOU AS ALWAYS FOR EVERYTHING I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO LEARN AND SMILE THANKS TO FREE!, I HOPE I CAN FACE THE FUTURE WITH THE SAME RESOLUTION AS YOU, U R LITERALLY BEST BOY LOVE U 😭💙🐟🌊❤️

The History of Area 59 Ruins

If you're dumb enough to Max Risk CC this weekend, you're a big enough schmuck to come to the Area 59 Ruins.

For now, let's settle with a little mood music while I get started.

So this post is just me kind of rambling nostalgically but with CC12 coming soon I figure we can enjoy the end of our CC journey with the very beginning. Plus this event happened like, at the beginning of this game's lifespan I kind of doubt most of the current Arknights players remember doing it.

These days you can only experience this map in the Training Grounds, which is a bit of a shame that it hasn't rotated back in. The gist of the stage is this: from the bottom left entrances come Light-Armored Soldiers, Heavy Defenders, and Armed Militants. From the upper left come Avengers, Hateful Avenger, and one Invisible Caster Leader I call The Rat Bastard because he sucks. From the bottom right, only Invisible Caster Leaders spawn.

There's no bosses and all of the enemies primarily just have their stats (and the Caster's Camo) to threaten you with. If you look at the contracts available...

Originium Zone: Activation III - Enemies have their HP increased by 2.5x. (3 points) Originium Zone: Stimulus III - Enemies have their ATK increased by 1.8x. (3 points) Objective: Blade Breaker III - Avengers and Hateful Avengers have their HP, ATK, and DEF increased by 2.2x, 1.8x, and 3x, respectively (3 points) Objective: Armament Destruction III: Armed Militants have their HP, ATK, RES, and weight increased by 2.5x, 1.8x, 1.75 and 2, respectively. (3 points) Objective: Covert Action III: Only 4 Operators (including the Support Unit) can be included to the squad. (3 points) Objective: Strategic Dispatch: Casters and Medics cannot be used. (2 points) Objective: Deep Infiltration: DP generation rate reduced by 50% (1 DP every 2 seconds). (2 points) Environment: Precipituous Terrain III: Friendles cannot be deploying in 10 tiles (3 points) Anti-Armor I: Enemies have their DEF increased by 50% (1 point) Anti-Sniper I: Ranged enemies have their attack range increased by 50%. (1 point) Anti-Mobility I: Enemies have their speed increased by 50%. (1 point) Objective: Last Line of Defense: Life Point reduced to 1. (1 point) Originium Zone: Erosion III: Friendlies have their maximum HP reduced by 75%. (3 points).

There might be a couple that jump out at you (we'll get to that in a minute) but total max risk was 29 and most of these are pretty simple in their execution. What was the Max Risk that was achieved by players?

To the best of my knowledge, the Max Risk achieved was 26. Which is kind of wild to think about. In this day and age it seems like almost a guarantee that a CC will get a Max Risk clear super quickly, and there are some truly heinous clears like that Ashpoint All Specialist clear. So how...did this happen?

Well there's two reasons really. The first is actually really simple: as of CC Beta's release, the most recently released operator was Mostima. This meant in terms of meta-breaking 6-stars, you had: Ch'en, Siege, Shining, Nightingale, Ifrit, Eyjafjalla, Exusiai, Angelina, Silverash, Hoshiguma, Saria, Skadi, Schwarz, Hellagur, Magallan, and Mostima. There's a lot of good operators there, but most people would agree that the grand majority of them aren't what we think of when it comes CC all-stars.

The second is how the stage is set-up. With all the tags enabled, let's look at the stats of two enemies in particular: the Hateful Avenger

and the Armed Militant

(HP, ATK, DEF, RES, Movement Speed in tiles/sec, Weight, and Attack Range)

Now despite that gigantic 99,000 HP, the Hateful Avengers were not really a big problem. They can actually be Push stalled basically endlessly. They'll take a while to actually die but it's not particularly hard to just whittle them down.

The Armed Militants are the problem. Their 5 Weight means they are very difficult to stall with shifting and thanks to the Erosion contract, nothing survives their axe swings. So already the map has two lanes you need to hold.

But it actually has a secret, THIRD LANE.

These guys are also nightmares and need to be dealt with basically immediately. Their 720 damage Arts attacks are much more lethal with -75% HP, but their increased attack range makes them a bigger issue. With the tag, they have an Attack Range of 3 tiles, but this is a little deceptive in how its framed. Let me illustrate.

Attack ranges are essentially circles, with a radius of the attack range distance in tiles. This means they can hit some tiles you might immediately think are actually four tiles away and not three.

The difference in attack ranges means that the Caster Leaders will often have complete free reign from their starting position to blast away at your entire bottom line if left unchecked, which is very bad. This isn't even getting into the one that spawns at the top too.

(Ignore the quality of these diagrams, I did them in Paint.)

So you have three lanes to defend, that's not hard, right?

Objective: Covert Action III: Only 4 Operators (including the Support Unit) can be included to the squad.

This. This is the bastard. To this day, I don't believe they've ever done a similarly restrictive squad condition in a main map (its possibly been in a rotating one, there's been 12 CCs I'm not checking).

The Risk 26 clear takes the 2 risk HP increase contract (which only boosts HP by 1.6x) and the 1 risk Squad contract (maximum of 10). With the current pool of obviously busted operators, I think it would be really easy to take the Risk 3 HP increase contract and the Risk 2 squad contract. Risk 28 is obvious. But trimming the squad down to four operators is a much more monumental task. I don't know if I would say impossible, but very very difficult.

Area 59 Ruins also ran on the rotating schedule for two CCs (CC0 Barrenlands and CC1 Pyrite) and I'll include them later on as their existence as rotating stages is far less interesting and I'm making this post while recovering from a virus lmao.

Chroma Challenge!

So, a Discord group I'm in did a little challenge. You get a palette or a color and you have to create something with just that. I think it's really meant for artists, but we decided both artists and writers could do it.

And to challenge myself, I did BOTH.

I did a doodle and a drabble. And because I am me, I just created more Sailor Moon content. I am a one trick pony, folks. XD

When I saw my palette, I immediately knew what I wanted to do. And it involves Camp Universe! One of my favorites.

If you did not read my Camp Elysian fic, you can click there to do so. You do not *need* to read it for this, but you can, and you should because it's fun and nostalgic. Anyway! The short version to catch you up is: the gang all work at a summer camp, Kayden is the main camp counselor. Morgan hates his guts at the beginning. Morgan ends up helping Serena and Darien sneak around because there is a strict no dating rule. Kayden does find out. By the end of the fic, Morgan doesn't hate Kayden any more, and he no longer things she's some dumb kid. I'll probably put the drabble up on A03 at some point, but this will do for now. It's not polished or beta'd. BUT. It did feel really good to write *something* after such a long time of not doing so. So, enjoy, or don't. *shrug*

“Excuse me, Your Tallness.”

Kayden’s eyes crept to the now cracked opened door, to greet the grinning blonde who had let herself into the cabin. Without knocking. But that was Morgan. He could let it slide. Her arrival was no surprise–as he’d heard her coming through the opened windows, chatting loudly as she always did with some other camper. So no, it was no surprise. He hadn’t realized it was already so late, though. He wasn’t quite ready to leave.

They had plans. Well, she had plans. He–he simply just followed her whims. “Are you ready yet?”

Today’s whim conflicted with his duties. “Uh,” he began, setting down the paperwork he’d been looking through into a neat pile. “One sec.” He looked at his watch, and then instinctively reached for his red clipboard. “Nuh uh,” she protested loudly. “No Clippy.”

He stilled and looked to her, hands on her hips, her finger wagging in the air as if he was a child reaching for the last cookie. He wasn’t sure what his face had contorted into, but she giggled and bounded over, pushing the clipboard back down to the old, stained coffee table. Then, she took his hand and began trying to tug him from the worn sofa. He knew not to reach for it again.

“I promise we will be back before you have to do your rounds.”

“Like the last time you ‘promised’?”

She rolled her eyes and tugged harder on his arm. “Just come on.”

And he did.

She interlaced their fingers, her hand so small in his, and began quickly leading him down a path of crushed gravel that led away from camp. Morgan was radiant and full of excitement, the last of the day’s sunshine glistening in her hair. He however could not help feeling like everyone was watching him. Watching him get pulled away from camp this close to lights out. What would they say to the one enforcing the rules sneaking off? He could hear the gossip already. Maybe he could come up with some lie? Some emergency he was taking care of. Morgan would tell him to stop worrying, that no one cared, and he shouldn’t care if they said anything anyway.

But he cared.

Mostly he cared because he hadn’t told his grandfather that they were dating yet, and he felt this terrible guilt for setting a bad example and breaking a rule. All behind the back of the greatest man he’d ever known.

But the thought of being away from her all summer was too much. They’d already spent so much time apart.

So, he didn’t disclose their relationship. He was so worried his grandfather would say no. That the rule was there for a very good reason, and grandson or not, he would not allow it. She could not stay. And what would they have done then? They could have continued just seeing each other on random weekends, talking on the phone after 8 every night, but Morgan was a pretty girl. And how long until the novelty of a long distance relationship wore off? How long until someone who lived near her started showing her attention? Before another Aaron showed up? How long before he wasn’t enough?

All this sneaking around was not as fun as Darien and Serena made it out to be the previous summer. It had only been two weeks, and he was so worried people would find out. That they’d rat him out and Morgan would have to go. He knew Jayden would never, but if he jokingly said he was going to tell just to get out of work one more time, Kayden might snap. Maybe he should just tell his grandfather? Rip the bandaid off. Get Jayden off his back. Stop lying and hoping to not get caught. His grandfather would understand, right? Morgan wasn’t just his girlfriend–

“Hello? Earth to Kayden.”

Kayden blinked. He hadn’t realized they’d arrived. Morgan raised a brow and cocked her head slightly to the side. “There you are. What were you lost in thought about?”

“Nothing,” came his casual response. But not nothing. Everything. Morgan was everything. Professing that though–

“Mmhm. Well, forget about nothing, we’re here!” she exclaimed, proudly showing off her surprise.

His hand felt cold with the loss of contact. Kayden looked around for the first time. He recognized this spot. He had caught Morgan chaperoning lunches for Darien and Serena many times here. He’d helped her cover for them here. Let them have their time in this not-so-secret make out spot. Those were the times he got to know Morgan more, as they talked while keeping lookout for the couple. When he realized she was more than she seemed.

She must have come before she gathered him, he thought. There was a quilted blanket–where she stole it from he did not know–covering a patch of grass between an open area of trees. It was quite serene this time of day, the noise of camp dying off, the shadows dancing along the ground.

She grinned when he noticed, said “tada” in her over-the-top way, and sat down. “Take a seat,” she said while patting the blanket next to her. 

She looked so pretty sitting there, the last rays of the light kissing her face and the long shadows from the trees covering the surrounding area like a blanket. He joined her and was rewarded with her leaning into him. He wrapped an arm around her and enjoyed the warmth.

“It’ll be dark soon.” He didn’t know why he said it. He probably ruined the mood, and he instantly regretted it, but the weight of getting back on time was heavy on his mind. He couldn’t help it.

“I know,” she said quietly, leaning closer, looking out toward the slowly retreating light.

He hadn’t figured out exactly what the point of coming out here was yet, other than just being alone together. Which he didn’t mind. He could be a little late for that. He leaned over and tenderly kissed the spot on her neck just below her ear. 

Instead of reciprocating, Morgan laughed and pushed him away. “Stop! You’re going to miss it!”

Kayden was confused. Why were they out here, of all places, if not for a little fun?

Morgan rolled her eyes and leaned back into his frame. “You remember when my family took me for vacation out of state for Spring Break?”

He nodded. They’d absolutely annihilated their plans to see each other with that spur  of the moment trip.

“On the phone one night while I was away, you described how pretty the sunset was.”

He remembered. After their plans had been ruined, Kayden had offered to come help his grandfather do some spring renovations. The hard labor was a welcome distraction.

“And you said, you wish I could have been there.” She paused, and he pulled her in close. “So, I wanted to share a sunset with you, since we couldn’t before.”

“I do remember,” he replied, kissing the top of her head. “Thank you for remembering.”

He would remember this as the night he resolved to tell his grandfather about Morgan. And how much he loved her.

Sakuya Sakuma | [R] Borrowed Textbook | Memorable Textbook

Sakuya: Waah, how nostalgic.

Citron: What is it, Sakuya?

Sakuya: I was tidying up my desk and I found this English textbook I used in high school.

Citron: Oh, back when Sakuya was in high school! You were always so cutely diligent back then!

Sakuya: Ahaha, really? I mean, I was the type to get my stuff ready the day beforehand…

Sakuya: But one time I did actually end up going to school without this textbook.

Citron: Really? I never knew!

Sakuya: Ah, I must’ve not told you about it, Citron-san. Back then I…

*Flashback*

Homeroom Teacher: Your modern Japanese teacher is taking the day off tomorrow, so you’ll have English then instead.

Students: Understood!

Sakuya: (Got it, there’s a schedule change tomorrow. I’ll have to remember that…)

Homeroom Teacher: Well then, that’s it for homeroom. See you all tomorrow.

*Bell rings*

Sakuya: (Now that I have English tomorrow, I’d better take my textbook home to do my homework…)

Classmate: See you tomorrow, Sakuma.

Sakuya: Yeah, see you tomorrow. Good luck with your club!

Sakuya: I was up late last night practicing on my own, so I ended up going to bed without getting my stuff ready…

Sakuya: I got up early this morning, but I started practicing again and before I knew it, it was already this late.

Banri: Gotcha.

Sakuya: …Alright, I’m ready now. Sorry for making you wait!

Classmate: Huh, you forgot your textbook, Sakuma? That’s not like you.

Sakuya: Yeah. I was a little flustered this morning, so I guess I left without it…

Banri: Nah, I ain’t using it today, so you can just give it back at lunch.

Sakuya: Got it, I’ll give it back then.

Banri: No problem.

Banri: Oh, by the way, I usually leave all my shit at school, so if you forget somethin’ again, I can always lend you whatever.

Sakuya: Ahaha, hopefully, I won’t need to borrow something again, but if it ever happens, I’ll be sure to come to you.

Banri: Yeah, I’ve got your back.

Sakuya: Really, thank you so much! Well then, I better get back to class!

*Flashback end*

Sakuya: …And that’s what happened.

Citron: Good thing Banri had all his textbooks~!

Sakuya: I was really thankful to Banri-kun for saving me back then!

Sakuya: So when I gave back his textbook, I also got him a can of coffee and a snack as a thank you.

Citron: Was he happy with it?

Sakuya: Yeah! At first, he said he didn’t need it, but he ended up taking it anyway…!

Sakuya: Ahaha, I was pretty happy to feel like I had gotten to know Banri-kun a little better!

Sakuya: So that’s why that day became one of my most important memories from Hana High!

A New Home Ch. 14

Various Splatoon Manga x Skilled! Isekai'd! Reader

Wc: 1.8k (whoops.)

A/N: This is the biggest headcannon in the story, I hope you guys are alright with this! (There was a hint at this earlier in the series! Did you notice the octopi and tentacle on his first banner?)

Back to the start! Previous Next

The next day, you ask your teammates if there's a library around. Yesterday, you read all three volumes of Naruto that Mask had given you, then put the book beside the plushie you had themed after him. It was very nostalgic, and reading it made you feel much more at home, but you wanted more.

"Oh, yeah! It's kinda small, but there is one not too far way. You'll still need the train to get there, though!" Milo sends you the address on your phone and you thank him, making your way to the nearest train station.

˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊˚*•̩̩͙✩•̩̩͙*˚＊

It's a small library, you note from the outside. You doubt that you'll find more from the Naruto series, but it's worth a shot. Once you enter, you see how filled to the brim with books it really is. It seems to be well kept. There aren't a lot of people here today, probably since the weather is nice. The sun can't be seen, but the rain has stopped. It's a nice kind of warm outside, perfect for some turfing. 

You browse around, looking for the manga section. It is still an old building, so lots of the signs can't be read easily. You also wouldn't be surprised if the manga section was only half a shelf in size. After a long enough time of searching, you decide to try to find someone that may know the place better. 

You go to the first person you see, and probably the only other one there, who appears to be in the recipies section. They have a book in hand, and you're about to tap them on the shoulder. 

Wait a sec, is that a special forces beret? And that color of jacket, definitely a forge inkling parka. Not to mention their ink color. It must be!-

"Ah, hello. May I help you with anything?"

He must have noticed your presence.

"Do you happen to know where the manga section is? Or rather, if there even is one?"

"Yes, I do believe it's just around the corner. This way," he begins to walk, almost march, towards a bookshelf a row or two down. Definitely Army. 

No wonder you missed this section, the manga only covers two shelves and is in the dead center of the aisle. You spot a couple of different series, ranging from Attack on Titan, Your Lie in April, to lesser-known series like Servamp.

You search a little higher up and there it is, Naruto! There are volumes 1-9, currently missing 8. You excitedly reach for volume 4, grabbing it off the shelf. You’re unsure of how many books you’re allowed to take out at once, so you turn to Army.

“Um, one last thing, Army?”

He turns back to you, and you ask him.

“We’re allowed three at once.”

“Oh…”

He notices how you lose part of your exciement, and quickly comes up with a solution. He’s quick on his toes, as expected.

“There’s a sitting area at the back of the library, you could always sit there and read the volumes you can’t bring home. If you’re uncomfortable being here alone, I have no problems sitting near you. I do have a few novels I’m interested in, after all.”

“That’s really kind of you! There’s no need for that though, I wouldn’t want to bug you.”

You laugh nervously, holding a couple volumes close to your chest.

“Oh. I was going to stay and read either way. I was not expecting that answer.”

You jump up a bit, surprised at how blunt he is.

“That’s okay too! I do have lots of respect for the S4 as well as team orange, so it’s completely fine!”

He gives you a curt nod, and goes off to presumably grab the novel he wanted to read. You try to find the back of the library, finally picking the seat of your liking. You’re about a chapter in when Army comes back, situating himself at a seat with a mini side table attached. He puts his bag down resting right beside his feet. It seemingly has a manual, post-it notes, pencils, inkling-safe water, and you could guess whatever else he may need throughout the day. He places his pencils on the table along with his manual, and you notice how he adjusts his pencils to be in order of tallest to shortest, then makes sure his manual is square in the corner of the table.

The two of you read in silence, every once in a while Army will jot down notes, probably about his novel.

You finish volume four, and you can tell he’s already nearly halfway through his novel. If you could guess, it’s probably 300-400 pages long. He’s a quick reader. The two of you continue like this until you’ve finished volume seven, and he’s finished his third, smaller novel. He’s just taking notes now on his last book. You stand up, going to put the books back where they came. He follows you, and you’re unsure of why. You make it back to the manga section, putting the books back and browsing the other series.

“I saw Mask read the ’Servamp’ title. It seems there are nineteen volumes in total, so they’re all here. He read until the end of volume nineteen, during a team meeting might I add, but that’s not important. I think you may want to check it out if you haven’t already.”

Just full of information, huh? Well, if Mask liked it, it’s worth a shot. You go to grab volume one, accidentally knocking down another book. You quickly go to reach for it, but apparently Army had the same idea, and the two of you bonk heads.

“Whoops, sorry! Are you o-”

He quickly catches his beret before it hits the ground, putting it back on his head and adjusting it to put it back in perfect place.

The two of you stand in silence, Army looking anywhere but at you.

“...You did not see anything…did you?”

You think for a moment, of course you saw. You’re a natural at taking in information at break-neck speed and adapting to it.

“I may have. Does it matter?”

“Please do not tell anyone, not even the S4 know.”

He analyzes your expression.

“You don’t seem to be surprised.”

“I would never tell anyone, you can trust that. And I might of had a hunch.”

You could tell he was nervous, afraid that somebody was now fully aware of his secret. You could see the way his shoulders just barely relaxed, and how he let out a sigh of relief at your words. His cheeks were still  tinged much more orange than usual, and he hasn’t looked you in the eye once, until he asked you his next question:

“What gave it away?”

You slowly walked back to the back of the library, making sure he was following you. You looked around to be certain again that no one was around, and even then, you kept your voice low out of respect for Army.

“Well, my teammate is a big fan of you, so I get to see lots of battles, posters, that kind of thing related to you. I’ve noticed that your ears are rounder than most, you frown to make your eyes appear smaller, and you often keep your mouth closed to hide your teeth. They’re not very sharp, but one of the teeth that ‘should’ be more defined is not. And I’m sorry about mentioning this, but, your height, too. I see that your Punk Cherries are taller than most pairs, so I’m assuming you have lifts in your shoes to make you a little taller. But even then, you’re much closer to average male octoling height than inkling’s.”

You realise everything you said, and you begin to twiddle your fingers and bounce your leg. Army also notices your face heat up.

“Damn, that makes me kinda sound like a weird fan, huh? I’m so sorry- I should probably mention that I draw too, so I really have to pay attention to details-”

He takes a minute to take in all the information, and the last sentence.

“No, I understand, I’m the same way. I didn’t feel the need to mention it, but I’m aware of your skills, I’ve seen a few of your battles. You were also at the ‘party’ after Team Blue and Purple’s battle, where we had the curry that I had made.”

Oh, he understands. ‘Thank cod that he doesn’t think I’m weird. I hope. Or maybe he’s just being nice.’

You continue to overthink, but his next question pull you back.

“Then what about the inkling mask?”

“You draw on the rest of your face paint daily, don’t you?”

Maybe his bluntness is rubbing off on you.

“That’s correct. I’ve done just about everything I could to hide my secret.  I find it impressive how you pay attention to detail, well done.”

You can still tell he’s nervous, and he has every right to be, had he run into anyone else. You are still somewhat of a stranger to him, you’d be nervous too. But you want to offer him the most comfort possible. You’re about to reach out and rest your hand on his shoulder as comfort, but decide against it.

“Army, hun. I swear to never tell anybody, not even my closest teammates. I understand how big of a secret this is, and how important to you is it that this doesn’t get out.”

You try to think of a way to reveal that you know about friendly octolings, then you think; just be honest. Well, kinda.

“I’ve also been to this new place called Inkopolis Square. They have lots of octolings, and the population is almost the same as inklings out there. All of the ones I’ve met have been very kind and friendly, so I hope that this assures you that my view of you has not changed. Really, you only confirmed my headcannon.”

The last part is quieter, and ends with you scratching the back of your neck.

“Well, I hope that I can trust you. Thank you for being truthful, and please, please, keep your word. This could change many inkling’s view of me. I don’t want to stand out any more than any other S4 member.”

“I’m aware.”

You don’t know how to make him any more comfortable, besides taking this secret to the grave. And that, you will.

“Thank you. I hope to see you in the near future and perhaps battle you. Your team is quite strong, you know.”

“Of course. Have a good day, Army. See you and the Orange Team soon.”

"Is your head okay, by the way?"

"...Yes, thank you for asking."

You check out a few volumes of Servamp, and make your way home.

✎ ''Flying? With a plane?" I sighed uneasily.

"Of course, what else did you expect to fly with?" Sonic joked, chuckling slightly.

I laughed nervously, "Yeah, sorry, that... That was ridiculous of me."

Sonic and Tails got up from bed and walked to the center of the room, "Don't sweat it! You can't imagine what this kid can do! He's the best pilot and mechanic I've ever known."

Tails shyly scratched his cheek, "I'm not that good but thanks Sonic." He smiled at him. Sonic winked back. I smiled at their relationship.

I glanced at my feet and exhaled, pushing myself off of the bed. I followed the two out of the room while ignoring the aching on my body. I was questioning myself as to whether I had made a good choice.

As I passed through the corridor, I realized it didn't have the same aura I felt before. It's brighter and more spacious. Now it felt soothing and serene. More home-like...

My body relaxes a little bit at the sight.

That's not the only thing I noticed, however, there were a lot of frames hanging on the walls, each having different places and people in it. Most of them had Tails and Sonic. Some had just landscapes and some were filled with many different faces that I couldn't recognize.

Sonic stopped next to me, gazing at the photos. He looks nostalgic with a small smile on his face. He put his hands on his hips and sighed, somewhat proud.

I whisper to myself, "God, How many places have you traveled to? I wish I was more like you." I chuckled, "I don't really like leaving the house. I am not a social butterfly. Exploring isn't my thing either." I confessed.

Sonic laughed, "It's something I'm used to. I always like to run around. I never once thought to sit for a sec. How could I? It makes me feel so free, so alive. I'm always open to exploring new places. If there is left any." He chuckled, "And the adventures they bring... every one of them is priceless." Sonic put a hand on my shoulder and give me a small squeeze.

I laughed, "Your friends are in real trouble then." I joked.

He grinned widely, "Ohh you bet, A massive trouble it is, you wouldn't even guess." He put his thumbs on his chest, "Your friend here is a real danger magnet!" Oh, so he had a goofy side. I can get used to this.

I gasped and jokingly shove his arm, "Don't try to involve me in such adventures. I would rather sit at home and do nothing instead of playing russian roulette with you."

He grimaced, "You're old. You should try to go out a little and see some faces. Even at the worst moment, you can find a side to have fun with." He made his voice sound like an author being a mentor.

I couldn't help but start laughing, "W-what?" I wheezed out, "I'm old?''

He snickered, "Yes, very old. Imma calls ya Granny."

I shove his body, ''Oh, Shut up. You are old." I couldn't stop my laughing fit now.

"Oh, yeah?" He starts to laugh as well.

You hold your chest, "Y-yeah! The one type who always travels around and looks after their grandkids!"

He grasp his chest, "I think I'm going to have a heart attack now." he whined dramatically.

Tails intervened chuckling, "Guys, I thought we are going to my workshop."

I was puzzled, "You have a workshop?"

"Yeah, of course, he has a workshop. He's a little genius with double fluffy tails, wearing a white coat working on weird tubes like a mad scientist!... Just joking, he always spends his time helping others fix their things or helping us win against Eggman with his incredible inventions. His heart is as big as his IQ." he quickly change his dramatic sentence when he saw the face Tails made.

Sonic choked, "Too much?"

Tails uncrossed his arms, "Too much."

I try to hold my laugh.

I try to be genuine, "Wow, that's really... big Tails." I didn't want to somehow offend him... again?

He smiled and shook his head, "I am just doing what I can."

We walk into the living room, Vanilla was standing in the middle looking straight at Sonic's eyes, she seems on the edge, "She can't go yet. She still needs some rest." she sounded troubled. Her arms crossed on her chest.

Cream and Cheese were sitting on a sofa playing with some cards. They look up when their mother spoke sternly.

Tails try to reason with her, "I know the risks but I already made sure she is fine, I showed you the checkups, and she doesn't seem to have any physical damage. She will be fine with us. We promise nothing will going to happen to her. Besides, you know we won't take her out if this isn't urgent." He pleads.

Sonic interrupted, "We'll make sure of it. She is not going to leave my sight I promise." he walk in with a reassuring smile.

Vanilla thought for a few seconds and sighed, "Okay, fine. She can go."

Sonic and Tails grin at each other with victory.

"But she is going to move to my house for a week after your little adventure. I want to make sure she is well-rested. You better come back with her safe and sound. Understood?"

I feel touched by her kindness but...

Why can't I make my own choices? Besides, aren't we agreed to find my home after this all ends? I thought I would finally see my family after whichever door I am key to they want opens... or broken?

On the other hand... Maybe I wouldn't mind staying a little bit more with them. I never experienced this much weird stuff in one day. Maybe this isn't so bad after all.

Cream lit up, "Yes! We can make carrot or chocolate cake together!" her chao agree with her. I smile at her sweetness.

Sonic and Tails look disappointed for a second but cover it with a smile. They nodded in agreement without any more words. I continue to think about my life choices.

"I'm going back to my house now. I will be waiting for her. I trust you two and Knuckles to keep her safe. Good luck. Come on Cream, Cheese." They drop the cards and slide down on the sofa to walk toward their waiting mother.

Cream waved at us and we waved back.

"Don't worry we will," Sonic reassured.

Vanilla smiled at them. She glanced back at me and I quickly smiled.

Before she leave with her daughter and their chao, she walks up to me and gently hold my shoulders, "If you don't feel well tell Tails immediately, don't shy away, he will bring you straight to me, Alright? I want you to be comfortable and healthy." she spoke kindly. Tails confirmed with a thumbs up and a warm smile.

I was speechless. I was only able to nod. Her smile grows and she leaves with her daughter.

Cream waves at us before they get out of the door and start walking away. I wave back with a small smile.

After waving at Cream, Tails didn't close the door and he turned towards us, "I am going to my workshop. I need to check on the Tornado to see if it needs any more repairs. After I do my final checks, we can go."

Sonic followed Tails outside, "You do your thing bro. Our little guest can come with you too. I'm going on a run to kill some time until then." I nodded following Tails.

I look back towards his home. Neither Sonic nor Vanilla is in sight. If that is, Sonic must be a really fast runner. I chuckled to myself.

I also notice Tails' house is the shape of his head, "Wow, nice... design?"

"You mean the exterior of my house?"

"Yeah," I spoke still looking back towards his house, examining.

"Thanks! You can say I kind of get it from someone..."

We turn another direction, I was no longer able to see his home.

I look back at him, and he looked kinda apathetic, "You mean like... you took it from your father kind of get it like genes or are you inspired by someone?" I spoke uneasily.

He looks around, "...I... no. Uh, the inspiration part." He seems to don't know what else to say.

I quickly change the topic, feeling guilty that I made him upset again, "Well, you do have a nice, cozy home. I like what you did. The colors suit the house... I mean it's you after all. You made it really good? I don't have any clue how but-- Uh... Sorry. I am not good with compliments." I stop myself from babbling. I am screwing this up. Why am I always saying nonsense beyond my fragile heart's understanding.

He smiled, "It's fine. You don't need to say anything." Yeah, I should shut up.

Our walk was quiet after that. A little bit awkward because of me...

A few hours ago I was running away from them. Now I am thinking how bad am as a person for opening sensitive topics without noticing. How stupid. We just met and I feel like I've already interfered with his whole life. It must have been very uncomfortable for him.

I take a sharp breath, I need to apologize.

"I'm sorry." We both look at each other stunned.

I chuckled nervously, "It's not your fault Tails. I was the one who couldn't stop my big mouth. It kinda stuck you know. I didn't mean to upset you. I- I am sorry." I huffed and shut up. I didn't know why I see the need to talk a lot. Whatever I do, I always have a lot on my mind especially when I am stressed. I just talk a lot to shut off my thinking and blank my mind.

When I think of them the most my head just starts to swarm with questions and worries. The one bothers me a lot is that, If I live on Earth all my life how did I never notice their existence? How have I never run across anything about them?

"You space out a lot too, huh?"

I blinked and look back at him, figuring he said something. I smile sheepishly, "Sorry. Can you repeat?"

He smiled, "I said, It's fine. I sometimes babble a lot too. Mostly when it's the things I like to do. What I mean is, it's okay, don't stop questioning. Please don't ever feel bad about yourself. I think it's a good feature. To think a lot. You just need to see the good it gives you. And I am not upset. I understand you are curious. I can see you don't have any clue about us or our species. That's odd because it should be impossible if you live all your life here." He thought out loud. You smiled relieved.

He glanced at you and mumbled to himself, "Especially that you felt major pains but I still couldn't find anything wrong with your body."

He looks down, "I should keep an eye on this." He whispered, suspicious.

We come to a stop in front of a building. It was as big as his house maybe a little bigger. And it was painted yellow and red too.

Tails open the door and smiled, "Don't tell anyone, but..." he lean towards you, whispering in a childish manner, "This is not exactly my workshop. I have a lot of workshops in separate places. It was for safety reasons. Anyway, come on in!"

He gives me some space to enter. I walk in with a smile, and he closes the door behind me. The lights were already open. It wasn't very spacious because of all the tools and mechanical things around. His Inventions, I remind myself.

There is also a red biplane in the middle. A red shiny biplane!

I turned to him pointing towards the plane, "You have a biplane." It was supposed to be a question but it came out as a shocking sentence, I was too stunned to speak properly. He owns a plane? He can fly? In this age? Does he know how to use it? Does he know how to repair it?! He owns a plane! My mind just couldn't grasp the situation and stopped working for a second from all this new information in a day.

I never saw a plane this close and somewhere like this before! I only saw passenger planes from afar at the airport!

Tails couldn't help but laugh at your expression, "Yep." He popped the 'p'.

I slowly walked around the plane in awe.

"You own a red plane." My mind was just blown I guess I am repeating things.

He laughed, "Yes, I have a red biplane. Are you like the color I did so much? Or are you simply couldn't believe I have a plane?" He joked.

I turn to him, "Please don't tell me you made this thing without a scratch. It is supposed to be illegal to own a plane at your age! I don't even know if it's illegal to own a plane in general!!" I shouted in shock.

He hummed in agreement while opening its lid, "No big deal, really. I already recognize it's every piece like a puzzle now. It always broke down during our adventures and I need to repair it again. And no I didn't make it Sonic gave me. He never told me why he had a plane in the first place." he spoke monotonously.

"So you did make it?" I need to stop repeating him...

"Uh... no. I only repair and modify it sometimes. It's Sonic's. He gives it to me..." He simply answered you again. He doesn't seem to bother about why are you acting weird.

"What kind of adventures make you see the need to repair it so much? That you literally memorize it's... everything." Now I am just going to look stupid in his eyes.

He walks towards his work table, picks up some tools, and started to sort out, "Armed robots, flying ships, some gems that can give powerful energy to anything, so you can think what would happen if they are in the hands of bad people. Also, they blow out my plane in so many ways I lost count..."

He start to work on the plane's engine, "This kind of adventure you need to face to blast almost all my inventions." he suck a breath, "And my friends..." he sighed.

"Oh..." I can't open my mouth after that. I bite my tongue and looked down. I wanted to ask so many questions. It's the best I shouldn't though. After seeing how bad I am making it...

What were they dealing with all this time? Is it as bad as it sounds? What's up with the gems? Who are we dealing with? Why does everything hurt? Why do I have no idea about Sonic or others? Where is exactly my home? Where is here? What's up with me being a key? What's a key? What's the door? Do anyone else is after it too? Who is Knuckles? How did they figure it out? How will this work in the end? Will there be a happy ending in the end? Is my life will be always like this? Running to save something while I am always confused? Are we gonna found a door and destroy it or open it? Where are we going? What are we gonna find? Who am I gonna met next? Can I be able to go back home? How can he know so much? Is he have a biplane?! What about Sonic, Cream, and Vanilla? I heard another voice back when I was alone in the guest room, who was he? Is he the Knuckles guy? Am I in danger? Am I doing the right thing? Should I back up since I got the chance? Am I able to see my family again? What if I die in the end fighting with a killing machine? Do I really want this? I have no real reason to do so... I was scared to die but still...something pushing me to continue...

A deep sigh ends my internal criticism. I looked up, Tails seems really upset.

"I..." he scratched his head. "I am really sorry. I didn't mean to sound so sour. Sorry if I made you uncomfortable..." he looked down, pondering.

I was going to say it's fine but he beat me to it, "How about I teach you some things? Is that okay for you?" he smiled apologetically.

I grinned, "I would like that. Please teach me. Anything is fine, really! I am pretty sure whatever gonna come from you will be useful for me in the future." I giggled excitedly with a big smile.

I run next to him. He smiled happily. He never got a chance to teach someone before. Seeing you so eager to learn makes him more excited to teach.

"It works similarly with cars. Actually, every mechanic parts use the anatomy of our bodies. Have you ever opened a hood of a car to look at the engine part?" he questioned with a smile.

I think for a few seconds, "No. I never open one myself. I only watch a few times in the back seat when dad or an auto repair man check in the car. But that doesn't help hmmm... Oh, but I did see it in the Car's Movie."

Tails raise a brow, speechless, "Okaay... At least you watch something about cars?" He spoke didn't quite catch what you are talking about.

He continues to lie on his back while he gazes at the big blue sky donated with white clouds with half-lidded optics.

He made a sound of a yawn. He wasn't tired in fact he was fully charged. He was just bored out of his circuits. He slowly sits up on the soft surface of the grass, leaning on his cannon arm.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have anything to do today except observing. Like his counterpart, he doesn't like to sit still but today was an exception. It needs to be. It's his mission. He was waiting for someone...

He crossed his legs and continue to count down the minutes. He starts to tap a digit on his leg out of boredom, creating soft metallic noises.

Hearing a faint hum, his emerald green optics turned towards the sky, spotting the flying blue dot.

His smirk widens at the sight of his brother's blue metal figure, "Finally some action." His optics switch to crimson red.

When Sonic walked in I try to wave at him but with a squeal of fright, the plane's oil start to splash on my face. Tails gasped and helped me to stop the leaking.

"Is everything alright there?" his voice sounded amused. I glare at him from the side.

Tails cleaned his hands on a cloth, "Everything seems in place. I only need to fill its depo then we can take off. It won't take long."

"Alright, you do your thing. And you come with me we are cleaning your face."

I sarcastically spoke, "I am fine like this. Thank you." I refuse his offer stubbornly.

"Yes. Thanks to me you will be fine. Trust me you don't wanna stay like that all day."

Tails snickered and lean on your side, whispering, "It will stink, beside you should go with Sonic to clean up while I full the Tornado."

I huffed, before walking away with Sonic I turned to Tails liting up like a torch, "Wait, that reminds me. Why did you call your plane Tornado?" You ask while walking toward the door next to Sonic.

Tails grinned, "I'll tell you the story when you are back." He waves at you. You try to look at him from the doorway but Sonic continues to drag you out of the workshop.

"I swear you two are like twins of some kind," Sonic grumbled.

You snickered at this, "I'm discovering new things I like. What's up with that? Wasn't you the one to say to see a few people's faces?"

He hummed, "You are right. If you learn to not stain yourself maybe I introduce you to Amy. You two would get along well."

"You should!" I chirped happily, "I would like to meet all your friends!"

Sonic chuckled nervously, "I was afraid of you saying that, but in the end, you will eventually meet all of them, I have a feeling you will."

He quickly changes the topic, "You sound really happy. Did you have fun with Tails and his interesting love for mechanics?" He raises a playful brow.

I grinned, "Yep. He's a good teacher. I hope I am a good learner also. I am sure his advice will be very useful to me... someday."

We walk into Tails' home and Sonic leads me into a bathroom. I notice he was still holding my hand, "Can you...?"

He quickly take his hand away and smiled nervously, "You can use whatever you want here. I'll be outside waiting for you."

I thumb up and he nodded, leaving.

I figure I should take a bath instead of cleaning myself with a cloth. So as quick as I can be I start to undress and take a quick shower.

Tails smile to himself and climb into the cockpit. Sonic already sitting at one of the wings. Why is go beyond my caring. If he won't fall then it's okey with me.

I stand there with my new fresh clothes probably coming out of Sonic's unused wardrobe. -He said that not me-

A sky blue hoodie with brown jeans.

I take a deep breath and walk towards the plane.

"Uh..." I stop, staring, don't know how to climb even though I watch them do it.

"Do you need a hand there?" Sonic asked uneasily, maybe a little amused too.

I shook my head stubbornly and reach out towards the cockpit, pulling my arms with a groan, I push my feet in and threw myself inside. I quickly get up and sit correctly.

I noticed the two quickly turn their heads away. They've been staring...

I quickly look down at my hands, embarrassed. I never get on a plane before! They made it look so easy. They are probably using it a lot, so it's easy for them... I had my reasons to not get in one...

Sonic coughed, "Alright, let's go!"

Tails didn't answer and jump of off the plane and run towards a table.

Sonic raises a brow, "What happend?"

Tails pick up an earphone and an mp3 player.

I look back towards Sonic, who shrugged.

He turn towards us and climbed into the plane.

He put them over your lap, "Here, it can help." he smiled.

I laughed awkwardly, "Uh... Thanks."

"Don't worry no one used them before. They are new. You can listen to whatever you want. They are yours now."

Before I can protest he turns back and starts the engine without new interceptions.

He presses a button on the plane and the garage's big doors open.

I bite my lip when the plane slowly speeds ups. Sonic grins excitedly from where he sits.

I sighed and put the earphones in. I look through the options in the mp3 player and choose one of the songs I saw as interesting.

Between the sound of the engine and the music, I heard Sonic's faint shouting excitedly. I looked up to see he was holding his hands up around the clouds. I couldn't help but smile at him.

The clouds, oh they look so much more beautiful up close. Like white cotton candy.

I sit up a little to see how the view looks. I clean my hoodie and swallow down. We are pretty high up. That was quick. I regret looking down but... the view was so beautiful...

We are pretty smoothly flying. So I can bear with this for now. I turn towards Sonic and Tails. Maybe I can trust them... They are fun, friendly, and reliable to be around...

Even if the 'adventure' we are about to face scares me, I believe I can trust them on this.

I turn back to watch the view. It was mostly single-story houses, farmhouses, fields, and plots, around in a big forest.

I turn back towards Tails, yelling a little bit because of the engine and the music, "Hey, hopefully, I am not so pushy for asking so many questions, but can you explain what are we gonna do when we arrive? I mean what do you two mean by I am some kind of a key?" I need to at least know what we are going to do.

Tails glanced back for a second, he looked towards Sonic, who is watching the horizon, "Well, Knuckles will be the best to explain it. We only look for the gate he was talking about, he saw it in his... vision. We find it, so it exists, unfortunately. But it needs a special key to open it. There is no other way in, believe me, we try everything. You can say it's kinda magical. Oh, and we are not the only ones searching for the gate. So be ready. It won't be going to be nice. That's all I can say. You need to wait a little longer for better information."

"How do you know I was the key? And you sound like talking about an object but you see I am not an object!"

"It was Knuckles who figure it out when we find you! He said it's your necklace!"

I pause and looked down at my gold chain, violet-colored crystal. I hold it in my palm, freaking out. I always thought it was fake... maybe it isn't.

I got it from a normal store of accessories for god's sake.

Sonic pipped in, "Don't worry! When I am here nothing bad will happen."

I saw Tails mutter something but couldn't make out what he said.

I huffed, "How much longer do I need to wait?"

I saw him trying to hold his smile, "Half an hour."

I groaned loudly and lean on the seat.

That's long!

You sighed looking towards the horizon. You were getting more curious about this Knuckles guy.

Knuckles grumbled under his breath, "Where are they? This shouldn't have been taking this long."

He tapped his fingers over his arm. He leans over the stone stairs he is sitting at.

"If we're late for this, Eggman will find a way to open the gate. I can't even think of a worse scenario than this. If it wouldn't for Sonic's recklessness, we would be already sealed the gate a long time ago..."

"Are you talking to yourself again, Knucklehead?"

He closes his eyes and grits his teeth, "You are calling me that too?"

The bat landed at the end of the stone stairs, with a teasing tone, "Sorry, you want me to call you handsome instead?" She put a hand on her waist.

He sighed getting up from where he sat, "Did you talk with Shadow as we speak?" He crossed his arms over his chest.

"I sure did." She becomes serious, "We'll be ready if anything goes wrong with the door or that girl. I already start looking for another similar crystal in case hers won't work."

"It won't be necessary I know the girl has the right crystal." He closes his eyes to recall, "I believe in my instincts."

Rouge smiled, "I know, I never hesitate to trust your instincts for a second, hon."

"Sure, you didn't." He was unimpressed.

Rouge, "But seriously. We need to talk about something."

He opens his eyes, "What?"

I am so sorry it takes so long for me to publish this. I wasn't sure about it for a long time.

Besides an idea or desire to write isn't coming all the time so it takes time... At least for me.

[A funny scenario from the episode that I decided to add here]

Tails: Why did you have brown jeans? You don't even like wearing pants.

Sonic, sweat dropped: It's-It wasn't mine. It's Amy's.

Tails: ...Why do you have Amy's jeans?

Sonic, notice how bad it sounded: I don't-- She just-- She probably forget it in the house!

Tails: Why didn't you give it back since?

Sonic: What do you want me to say!? I forget, okay? It got useful anyway! Look, she is wearing it! She looks happy! End of the case!

Tails: Sure...

A3! Settsu Banri - Translation [SSR] MANKAI Party (2/3)

*Please read disclaimer on blog

---

Tenma: Alright, I’m rolling the camera. Aaand… start!

Banri: Yo, it’s Autumn troupe’s Settsu Banri. Today, I got Tenma to come shoppin’ with me as we search for a pair of sneakers I was dying to get. That bein’ said, Tenma’s also in charge of the camera. Thanks, Tenma.

Tenma: Yeah, leave it to me.

-pause-

Banri: Oh, those pants are nice. I like their shape.

Tenma: The jacket next to them caught my eye.

Banri: Ah. You wanted a leather jacket, right? That’d be nice to throw on and go on motorcycle ride.

Tenma: Should I try it on?

Banri: Knock yourself out. …Hold up, now that I realize, we’re buyin’ loads of autumn clothes.

Tenma: Oh, you’re right. I end up wanting to buy lots of different stuff when I go shopping with you, Banri-san.

Banri: ‘Cept we haven’t found the main point, the sneakers, or the sight I wanna show my fans.

Tenma: This’ll become a purely shopping VLOG, huh…

Banri: What should we do… Ah well. For now, let’s check out the jacket and grab some coffee somewhere.

Vulgar man: You’re the one who bumped into me!

High school boy: I-I’m so sorry…!

Tenma: !?

Banri: A fight? I’m curious, but we’re in the middle of the street so I’m sure the cops will—. Hey, that guy who’s gettin’ pestered…

Tenma: Is that… Hana High’s uniform?

Banri: …Well, I can just stop ‘em, right? Tenma, cut the camera for a sec.

Tenma: Got it.

-pause-

High school boy: Thank you so much for saving me!

Banri: No prob. The other dude ran away quickly, so I’m glad it didn’t turn into a scene.

High school boy: U-um… you’re Banri-senpai, right?

Banri: You know me?

High school boy: Of course I do! MANKAI Company’s Banri-senpai, and also Sakuya-senpai and Masumi-senpai. You’re Hana High’s celebrities! I admire you guys too… I’m supporting you!

Banri: I see. Thanks.

High school boy: Same here. I can’t thank you enough…! I’ll visit your theatre to watch your play next time!

Banri: Sure, I’ll be waitin’.

High school boy: Okay…! Well then, please excuse me…!

Tenma: He said you three are celebrities at school.

Banri: Hana High, huh… I’m startin’ to feel hella nostalgic now that I saw that uniform and talked with him. Come to think of it, I’ve gone with Masumi and Sakuya to buy some curry buns at a shop around here after school before. Then on the way home, Sakuya—. ! …Right, it’s all coming back to me.

-pause-

Banri: Hell yeah! Bagged the limited-edition sneakers.

Tenma: Who knew they’d be at a discount shoe store Sakuya told you about.

Banri: I know, right?

Tenma: It’s so close to O High, but I had no idea that shop existed.

Banri: Same here. I used to wander aimlessly around this area all the time back in my Hana High days. But I had no clue there was a shop like this until I heard from Sakuya. All I did was fight back then~.

Tenma: You’re still fighting with Juza-san even now, aren’t you?

Banri: Ahh? No I’m not. That’s his fault for chargin’ at me, got it? But speakin’ of which, this spot is—. … …Tenma, record around this area. This is a memorable spot from my high school days.

Tenma: …You got it.

-pause-

Banri: …It sure feels good findin’ what you were looking for, doesn’t it? …And so, that’s the end of my VLOG. Thanks for watchin’.

Tenma: …Alright, I’ve stopped the camera. Good job.

Banri: G’job.

Tenma: …Hey, I can ask now that the shoot is over, right? About this spot…

Banri: Back when I had nothin’ to get passionate about and all I did was fight… This is where I picked a fight with Hyodo and he threw me down in an instant. So, this spot is the place where I tasted defeat for the first time… And where I finally encountered what I had always been lookin’ for.

Tenma: So that’s it.

Banri: It’s embarrasin’, so there’s no way I’m telling anyone else.

[velvetwyrms]

Now for something completely different! I’ve been working on an AU called Guardians (page is still a WIP) for months now and I’m finally ready to share a story from it. Please heed the tags and enjoy!

Rating: General

Relationships: Hobie/Therapy

Characters: Hobie Brown, Original Animal Character, Pavitr Prabhakar (mentioned), Gwen Stacy (mentioned), Miles Morales (mentioned).

Wordcount: 1,430

TW: Starvation, Homelessness

Tags: Alternative title: ‘Author tears up over hedgehogs,’ Fluff, Angst and Hurt/Comfort, Animal Companions AU, Platonic/Familial relationship, Hobie Brown backstory, Set 2 years before he becomes Spider-Punk, Hobie needs a hug (and gets a very spiny one), it’s a lovely story I promise, Character study.

Summary: Hobie nodded in approval, speaking around his third slice in under as many minutes, “fuck capitalism, feed hedgehogs.”

Ruthless

The smog-choked air was still so frosty this time of year. Once vaguely warm, the battered, grease-stained box she was curled up upon now did nothing to ease the painful shivers running from her goose-bumped skin, all the way to the very tips of her all-encasing, banded spines. Still, she was grateful. It wasn’t the height of winter anymore, they’d made it out alive and this was the first spot of good luck they’d had in a while.

Cold or otherwise, that’s the wonderful thing about pizza, you could eat it regardless— well, if you didn’t mind the pineapple. They’d both eaten far worse, or not at all. Besides, his tastes changed like the wind—

Her ears pricked sharply at the sound of a shoe sole scraping against potholed concrete, clunky and uneven. Her nose twitched fearfully. She should’ve pulled the box further into the shadows of the alley.

Pulse racing, she curled up tighter, spines splayed until the bootprints stopped abruptly, drowned out by the distant honking, shouting, screaming of East London on a Friday night.

Then the wind changed, and all at once her panic immediately soothed into relief.

‘Ruth? You there?”

The massive pizza box slid across the wet pavement with her scrabbling claws as she zoomed towards the end of their hiding spot; a nostalgic pull tugging at her tiny heartstrings as she snuffled at the air. “Over ‘ere! Took you long enough, where the bloody hell you been?” She could almost feel the responding eyeroll as the flickering, looming shadow at the alley’s maw rounded the corner and Hobie Brown stumbled in — joy bubbled and fizzed from her brightly glowing chest and into a resounding chirp — empty handed. Ah.

"Foodbank was sold out when I got there. ‘S fine though, we’ll— I’ll jus-“

“Nono, gimmie a sec,” she croaked and shuffled back the way she’d scurried. The sogginess of the ground nearly proved too strong for her teeth as it sucked on the cardboard, but she managed to drag it just far enough to cut her young charge’s dejection short. “Ta-da! We’ve got ourselves a chicken-dinner! The crowd goes wild, n’ we have full bellies.” Her words were muffled, but from the relieved laugh he’d barked out it was clear he’d understood the gist.

“Oh my days, Ruth you’ve outdone yourself! Also, you should know, you look ridiculous. Never thought I’d see a hedgehog carrying a takeaway box that big, come ‘ere,” the box was lifted effortlessly up into the sky before the boy slumped down next to her. Hobie opened the box with the reverence of a present he’d been counting down the days for, and wolfed down the first slice like a dying man. Well, that…that wasn’t exactly far off. “Where’d you even get this? It’s huge! Could last us two days easy.” Ruth sniffed the food eagerly, climbing up and using his thigh to balance her front paws on so that she could get a better look. Hobie then passed Ruth her single slice so she sat down next to him and set to nibbling away at it. She was rather proud of herself that she’d held out long enough for her charge to have the first piece. Taking care of him was, after all, her entire reason for existing in the very literal, physical, cosmic sense.

“Stole it from a Spaceship Pizza delivery bike while the driver was havin’ a natter. She saw but apparently thought it was funny enough to fight the good fight with her boss.”

Hobie nodded in approval, speaking around his third slice in under as many minutes, “good girl, she gets it. Fuck capitalism, feed hedgehogs.”

“Mm, found your new motto then.”

“‘Course.”

The silence between them as they ate was comfortable, well lived in, homey. Ruth was munching away at a chunky strip of cheap, processed ham when her beady eyes locked onto the dip of Hobie’s hollow cheek as he grinned, and all of a sudden they were seven years old again. The worry wrinkles, far too premature for someone who’s only just turned fifteen forming on his forehead, his sharp edges and his first, shiny, new nose piecing he’d convinced a friend to give him for free we’re gone. "Do you remember we used to eat this in school? You hated pineapple. You don’t now.”

“Nah, I don’t believe in consistency. You of all people should know that.” His bordered edges shifted and his skin turned from grey newspaper clippings about threats of anarchist uprisings to a happy, relatable, empathetic pink. “You haven’t changed a bit. Just a big ol’ hoglet.”

Ruth looked at him aghast, squeaking in disapproval, spines puffing in defiance. “You’re havin’ a tin-bath.” The stripes on her spines and the glowing patch on her chest turned from a happy, relatable, empathetic pink to the grainy grey of tv static.

“Oh no, you still look like a pup to me. Jus’ with more spines. Hey, remember when I tried to count ‘em all again last week? Think I got to 561 this time.”

Ruth huffed. She had waaaay more spines than that. “I could say the same thing, you had all the grace of a toddler the way you nicked your finger. Thought you’d be used to my spines after all this time. Guess I’ll just be free of your cuddles an’ keep warm on my lonesome.”

“Woah, hey now, I’m only playin.’”

"’Course,” Ruth snorted and licked BBQ sauce off of her nose, then sighed wistfully, “blimey, I miss moments like this more than anythin’"

Hobie’s crooked smile waned and seemed to wobble a bit. Seven years old and they’d already been kicked out of their second orphanage. School gave them hot food served with kind, pitying smiles. Their new placement did neither. "Yeah…Y’know, this is the only thing that's made the last three years bearable.”

“Pizza?”

Hobie’s laugh was small, humourless and tired, and Ruth felt a pang of something sharp in her chest that was anything but starvation.

“You. Company. Jus’ ‘avin someone who actually gives a damn about whether or not I live or die tomorrow. Can’t imagine what it’s like for those blokes n’ birds who ain’t got Guardians of their own anymore. Must be propper rough. I’ve heard that…sometimes, when it gets too hard, Guardians can just leave. Sever that bond from birth completely. It happened to ol’ loopy Louis on George Street, at least, that’s what he tells everyone. But I’ve seen others too, I’ve seen two different Guardians before just wandering around alone an’ feral. They looked so lost.”

Ruth suddenly felt sick. She couldn’t think of anything worse than loosing Hobie. She was supposed to take care of him. He was her best friend, her partner in crime, her reason to keep going through these first few years of surviving on the streets. He’d been through so much already for someone so young, he’s wise far beyond his barely 15 years and she wanted to cry. “You couldn’t get rid of me if you tried.”

“I know, I’m jus’ really grateful. You’re a stellar Guardian, Ruth.”

“Well, I don’t know about that” Her voice cracked and she abandoned her half-eaten pizza crust to climb up onto his thigh again, pushing down a couple of times with her front paws to signal that she wanted up. Hobie put down his own 5th slice and picked Ruth up by the armpits to perch her on his sight shoulder. She had to grip onto his thin winter jacket to avoid falling off, but she managed, laying her spines down flat to avoid hurting him. She glanced down to their food through teary eyes, then the pins adorning the jacket’s leather collar, the cheap, patched, fraying jumper underneath and the crochet hook poking out of his top pocket where he kept the bands he was using to try out something new. He’d wanted wicks for a while.

“I do. No one else would go outta their way to steal a pizza three times their size for me.”

“No one worth knowing.” Ruth sniffed wetly, and Hobie, with carefully practiced ease tilted his head and rested his cheek on her back. “One day, you’ll meet people who will do anything for you, Hobie, jus’ like me. People who’d- who’d stop busses an,’ an’ planes and trains for you. They’ll shout your name whenever they see you, and talk about you all the time when you ain’t there, ‘cause they’ll love you millions. You jus’ haven’t met ‘em yet. I know it.

You’ll see.”
