#emu deck

[sl33py-g4m3r]

Let's freaking go ~~~ *excited screaming*

Need to change the names to remove all the gibberish numbers on the front of the game files; but other than that, it works ~~

Everything I've tried works ~~ or boots~~ hadn't played any actual games yet

Except of course the emulated games for the 3ds~~ those poor things just sound so CRUNCHY cause they're being emulated on the 3ds anyway, and being emulated on a 3ds being emulated on a steam deck

So super Mario World or A link to the past or emulated games like that might be unplayable ~~ cause it's being ran through an emulator twice lol

Hadn't tried to play any of them yet; and there is slowdown and framerate drops sometimes ~~

But~~ decryption w GodMode9 was a success ~~

My janky photo of SMT IV title screen on steam deck

Hope i can read the game now ~~ specifically the bottom screen cause it was very fun to read in battle menu lol but it might be the exact same idk

And I got to play with emulator settings to try to maybe not have the frame drops but it might just be a thing~~ hope it keeps games playable ~~

So I was correct in assuming the biggest file that shows the games icon while weaving through the filesystem gibberish that is GodMode9, is the game~~

:)

Edit: apparently citra is included in emudeck too~~ was messing around in the settings and found 'other emulators' and there's citra, right there. And all the files have had their gibberish numbers strings removed and the games that were emulated on 3ds to begin with, also removed cause they were janky and unplayable ~~

need a mixed event with the bubbly girl gang featuring Akito. for my own entertainment

lock him in a room with Saki, Minori, Emu and Mizuki, then throw away the key, i say

[kasaraku]

Me : ‘Bored.’

Brain : Moon Kasa.

Me : *Springs up to my docs* Moon Kasa.

Have you ever thought about how someone could be so bright and so full of energy? It's a wonder where they got those energies. Sometimes it was just too much, it feels like they're forcing it out. Maybe it was just natural for them to have such energy?

But where did they get that energy?

Maybe we need to see the examples of a genuine energy and a fake one. We should see if there's something we can differentiate it from!

♣︎

Their show ended a short while ago, yet here he is, tinkering with another machine for another show like there's no tomorrow. Call him workaholic, but machines are his happiness. He can never be away from them. If there's machines that's broken or somewhat abandoned, he will take them and rebuild or maybe make another new thing. He's really passionate about his hobby, after all.

It's no strange occurrence when things like this happen, but usually they'll be the one who'll drag him away from the machines. It's unhealthy to work themselves to death, as their leader says. But Rui won't listen when he's too passionate about it.

For so long, he has been surrounded by loneliness. Before Mizuki barged into his life, he had always been pathetic and weak. He can't even stand for himself and no matter how much he tried to befriend someone, no one accepted it. And he has become numb to it after so long. He now doesn't care about what people's opinions are, or how he was mocked as the weirdo. He doesn't care anymore.

Yet that changed when Tsukasa entered his life and invited him to the troupe. It has a rocky start, but everything went as smooth as it usually can be. Even with them climbing another different kind of difficulty, they can all surpass it with teamwork.

It never fails to surprise him whenever the others are always back at him about how he's been doing, how he takes care of himself, and so on. It feels like he doesn't deserve it. But they all are willing to give him the warmth that he had lost from all those hard times in the past.

"Rui?!"

Speaking of which,

There he is. Their leader (it was self - proclaimed, but they all agreed to it(Tsukasa didn't know)) Tsukasa, was looking at him with a deadpan expression. Emu's eyes were sparkling with her mouth open, while looking at the machine he's making. Nene is just so done, she can only sigh in defeat.

“What did I tell you? We're going on a break so there's no show waiting! “ After all of their work, they're finally given a month of breaks. A little strange, given how the amount of breaks they get, it's weird. But they accepted it anyway, since they could use it for hangouts. A lot of hangouts

But that's not what we're trying to see right now, do we?

He chuckles. Always the ever concerned Tsukasa. Though not needed, they all might die sooner when he's never in his mother hen mode. It's always a good relief everytime Tsukasa steps in and would drag them away from something they overworked themselves up. Even Emu who did kind of overworked herself a few times without realising until Tsukasa steps in and just hugged her. And that's how you get an overworked Emu to fall asleep.

By the time he realises it, he was carried away from his machines and being put down in the audience seat. Though it's not Tsukasa who carried him, it was Emu. She's strong as hell. Nene gives him his water bottle before saying that she'll be helping Tsukasa cleaning up while he stays there with Emu.

A little unfair, but he enjoyed the times he was talking to Emu. He can also hear shouts and banter behind the stage, but he doesn't complain about it. Even with his machines that can potentially hurt someone or more, they're always careful about it and will be praising him like there's no tomorrow.

It makes him warm on the inside.

◇

Being an Ōtori is hard. Having to deal with her brothers nagging about how she's too childish and never wanting to let go of the WonderShow, even when their grandpa is gone. Her father will always disapprove of any of her childish ideas for shows.

Being rich is cool, but can it bring happiness if you're an Ōtori?

Fortunately, Hinata will always be with her. No matter how silly or childish her ideas are, she's always there to support, or even help her trying to achieve it! She's so cool!!

Yet, it's not always all about happiness or sadness. Not just those two alone. There's distress, fury, disgust, and much more. There's always something different.

Though being an Ōtori is hard, there's actually other things too.

Like her being the owner of PhennyLand's daughter, she can meet with Tsukasa, and then Rui, with Nene coming along. It's hard, but these three bring her happiness. She's not only happy to be with them, but she's happy to make memories with them! They're always supportive, too!

With Rui making her ideas and dreams come true, Nene singing her songs she loved, and Tsukasa putting her ideas in thoughts and giving her answers on what they can and can't do, it's so overwhelmingly sweet of them.

They might not know this, but they're her top favourite friends in the whole world. Even if she has so many friends, the troupe she's in will always be her safe place.

“Emu?”

Her daydreaming has come into a stop. She looked from behind and saw Nene, holding her console and staring at her.

Right. They're on a break. It has only been a few days, but it felt like it was just yesterday that they got a break. Even Tsukasa, their star, has begun to relax (she wonders how his energy went from kirakira to fuwa fuwa).

She hummed, looking at Nene with her clueless eyes. Nene sighs in relief, and smiles at her. She then lends her the console she's been playing with while waiting for the boys to finish whatever they're doing.

Emu raises a brow, but takes it anyway. From there, she and Nene have been playing with it as Nene teaches her how to play with the game she never plays. It was super duper doki doki and wonderhoy!! The game is so fun, even though her choice of game is not this kind.

“Girls! Sorry for the wait! Rui forgot something and we had to go back!”

Ah, it looks like they're back. Nene frowned in annoyance as their character died because of his loud voice startling her, and accidentally nudged Emu’s hand and the enemy defeated the character with ease.

“Oh how cruel, Tsukasa - Kun… You didn't even help! Yoyoyo…”

“Oi! You never told me the specific item!”

Nene sighs, but smiles at the boys bantering about what had happened. Emu couldn't understand Nene, despite being annoyed at how loud they are, smiling like it's peaceful.

Even if she can't understand people's perspectives, she doesn't care. As long as they're all happy (including her), she doesn't need to know about it.

♥︎

Everything works differently. No one can tell if it will succeed or if it will fail. But even if it fails, people can try to learn from it. Though some people choose that, mistakes are not supposed to happen for them.

And that was her mindset for the longest. She doesn't know how it can stay that long, but she knows the start of it all. It was because of that failed audition, that she succumbed into nothing but a weak and fragile little child.

For so long, she's been friends with Rui since they're neighbours and also because Nene’s the only one before who can tolerate him. As she became Rui’s first and nicest friend and audience, he became her safe place to rant and sing.

It has become like that for so long that, when they lost contact at middle school, they have no one to turn to. His friend and audience is not around to see his magic with machines, and her safe place is now locked and she cannot rant or sing as freely as she usually is.

But that changed.

It always changed.

Even if his audience is not around anymore, she makes her a robot that she can use to avoid interactions, so she can feel safe without him around.

And that changed, too.

That was her from before. Now, she has raised from her fear and is able to withstand any challenges she sees. Because now, she has her friends to help her overcome her difficulties. Her past self can only learn that, no matter how long she can wait, nothing will change without she herself making a move.

“Nene! / Nene - Chan! “

Now, she has become their troupe’s diva. The singer that can captivate the audience and make them sway with the emotions she puts into the melodies of her voice. She has become an actor who is perceived as the siren as her voice can attract attention with just a little bit of singing.

She smiles. Looking at the troupe that she oh so adored so much right in front of her, with their big stupid smile. She might be mean to the boys sometimes (Tsukasa especially), but no matter how much people will think her favourite person is Emu alone, her favourite persons are right in front of her.

And now, all those lonely times she spends alone becomes something that gives her an uncountable amount of happiness she will never get tired of. She will never be left alone again.

♤

Being the oldest is uncomplicatedly hard and strange. You need to be the guiding light of the youngsters, become the mature one, know what you're doing, and so on. But at the same time, you need to show them how and when to take a rest, allowing others to become childish too, and it's okay not to know what you need to do, because you can never predict the future.

It's a known fact that being alive alone is also a hard thing. But they all do it anyway for their satisfaction and curiosity.

Not Tsukasa though. His reason being is to satisfy others and fulfil their curiosity. Instead of it going to him, he'll make it so that others will have it first before him. Family, not blood - related family, friends, classmates, schoolmates, or even strangers, he will fulfil others first.

It doesn't matter how much he sacrificed for others. As long as it doesn't hurt anyone or disappoint them, it will be fine. It doesn't matter that he's hurting. He just wants others to be happy and well. He will do anything for those who he holds precious.

After what had happened to his sister, he won't be adding their parents’ burden even more with him. He will be a good older brother for his family. He will clean the house, cook his own food, do his homework, and be independent.

Even if that's him at 6 years old.

Now he's 17 years old. He will now be not only a good older brother, he will be a good senpai, an excellent student, a helpful person, and a good and mature leader. He will become that of a positive radiant that'll shine people's problems away. He cannot disappoint.

He can never show weakness, as that'll make him look miserable or people will pity him for it all. That means he cannot cry, he cannot show how he has bottled up his feelings for so long, he cannot show that he has at least gone to the plushie or virtual singers for comfort. None of that.

But even so, that won't stop him from caring about everyone. Especially those who are close to him in the present time. His troupe, who has been growing up alongside him, has been nothing but supportive and helpful to each other. He cannot thank them enough or make them gifts or make them speeches to show how much he has become too attached to them all. They're so bright, brighter than him that it makes him want to make them the brightest.

Even if they'll overshadow him, he doesn't care.

“Tsukasa… / Tsukasa - Kun…”

But even so, they're willing to shower him with affection and care that he never really had since young. The amount of it all was too much, he even cried once. No, there were many times when he cried about how much people cared about him. It was too much, but he selfishly wanted that.

And they're willing to give him as much as he wants.

The concerned look at them for him as he just cried about his flashback was sweet. He allowed himself to be open with them, and they were beyond happy that their closed off leader, and on top of that –friend, let them take a look inside his heart. It was so warming that they care for him as much as he cares about them too.

He shook his head. None of that matters, he thinks. But they matter the most to him. He never thinks about himself, so they'll be the ones who think about him. He will be reminded about anything he forgets and he is a forgetful person, and they wouldn't mind it one bit.

Everyone has become so nice to him, it feels like jewellery that no one can have it but him. It feels like he's their jewellery that people oh so adored and wanted. He's unlovable in the past, but he's loved now.

Note : It was finally done!!! I'm happy with the result anyway, so I hope you enjoy it just as much as I do!

And yes, it has nothing to do with my original idea, but you can see it soo...

9. If your muse could make a new law, what would it be and why?

10. If your muse could have any animal as a pet, what would it be?

I thought sending these for Russell bc of the first question, but if you're vibing someone else, go ahead

random character development q’s! 

"Finally." Russell grumbled, sneaking his way into getting this question.

Giving a grin, he leaned back against the pool table and tipped his head, seeming to think over the question like he didn't have an immediate answer to it.

"Successful theft of luxury goods should be considered a service, not a felony. They should take the learning opportunity provided."

Cas sighed loudly behind him and Russell spun around to face him.

"What?!" Russell protested, arms out in genuine confusion at how anyone could think it wasn't a good idea. "Do you know how much Rolex makes in a year?? They can lose a couple watches and still break even! It's a public service to steal their shit."

Cas rubbed his face as Russell took the moment to run before a piece of furniture became a projectile. Pinching the bridge of his nose, Cas felt his eyes hurt from how hard he was staring at Russell from out the side of them. "Anyways." He grumbled, "A pet? I want that one chirping bird... a whatchamacallit," Pause. "Right, a Kiwi... Or an emu, 'cause I know it would probably send my sister into a meltdown on the ceiling with how they move like velociraptors."

He luckily heard John's voice shout "DUCK." And hit the deck as the couch soared into the wall behind him. "CASIMIRO." Clari's voice rang out. "YOU'RE THE FUCKIN WORST." John's roar of laughter was punctuated with an 'OOF' as Clari clearly punched him in the gut. Cas gave a wiggle of his eyebrows before wisely army crawling out of the room.

Fun fact!

Both Melbourne and Sydney have "red rattlers"

By Trainsandtech - Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=65367379

By Matthew DAVALLE - Own work, CC BY-SA 4.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=116280829

As you can see they are not the same train! In fact, Melbourne's electrification scheme was earlier than Sydney's by a good couple years, with the beginnings happening before the First World War.

The first electric train service in Melbourne was on May 28 1919, and the first in Sydney was on 9 December 1926. (This may be wrong)

I find it interesting that they have ending up with the same name over the many years that these trains were in service.

Officially, the "Red Rattlers" of Sydney were several types of single deck EMUs that were a mix of wooden and steel body.

Sidenote: I don't really know much about Sydney trains so any extra info would be awesome!

The "Red Rattlers" of Melbourne were specifically the Swing Door and Sliding Door classifications, with the Sliding Doors becoming Tait trains, and the Swingdoors getting merged into one word.

[theresattrpgforthat]

Hello! I’m wondering if you have any recommendations for Animal-themed TTRPGs? Specifically wild animals if possible (jungle, arctic, desert, etc). I have a lot of recommendations for domestic animals and pets! ☺️

Theme: Wild Animals

Hello friend! You are right, there are quite a lot of recommendations out there for cute pet-like animals, but I think I managed to find a nice variety of wild animals. I also have a few longer games to balance out the 1-page rpgs I found.

One Less Lobster in Maine, by Minte.

You’ve made it! You escaped! Freed from your wooden trap you find yourself on the picturesque coasts of Maine. One lobster alone facing the world, on a journey to make your way back to the sea. 

This game played with a deck of cards, lets you build your own adventure. Play on your own or with friends this is meant to be a fun lighthearted story building game that is easy to pick up and play. All you need are some cards, maybe some friends, your imagination for your very own crustacean crusade.

This game can be played solo or with a group; it’s basically an oracle that presents you with events and obstacles as your lobster makes their way to the sea.

Emu Uprising, by ashleecraft.

You play an emu trying to defeat the government with the help of your friends in this 1-page TTRPG based on The Great Emu War created for the Historically Accurate Game Jam 2023!

This is hilarious re-enactment of a real-life historical event. You roll a series of times using 2d6 to determine what happens in each round of battle. Your goal is to get more Emu points than Human points. Feel free to add your own embellishments to each moment of battle!

Rise of the Apes, by WuDeRPG.

Rise of the Apes takes the premise of the movie Rise of the Planet of the Apes and lets you play as a group of Apes escaping a laboratory on their quest to reach freedom in the woods.

This is the first game using the RISE system, which divides play into 3-act struggles over which your characters will experience evolutionary moments. I think this game has an interesting opportunity as a teaching tool because players have a chance to get familiar with one part of their character sheet before adding on new pieces. I’m interested to see whether each act could be its own game session; breaking out of the lab as the first act could certainly take up to 2 or 3 hours.

Crabpocalypse, by Z Gosck.

Great news, the apocalypse is here!

but not at the hands of zombies, aliens, or unrelenting capitalism, but rather the meaty claws of giant enemy crabs. And even better news, you’re the fucking crabs!

Become crab, as nature intended, in Crabpocalypse! A game that finally puts you in the carapace of a giant enemy crab, bringing unimaginable death and destruction upon a world that sorely deserves it!

An absolutely ridiculous game, Crabpocalypse requires that players play the entire game with their hands shaped like crab claws, lest they lose a point from their highest crabtribute. The whole game is this silly and over-the-top, right to the end - where you will fight a giant, human-allied crab!

Mortal Wombat, by JoshyLongLegs.

Captured in your infancy by some Australian scientists (unburdened by morals or ethics) you have been turned into a sapient cyborg synapsid, hell-bent on escaping the laboratory you've been kept captive in all these years! 

Joined by your own marsupial mob you've got to use your head and your butt to prove yourself the finest Wombatant and make your way to freedom! 

Another simple one-page game, Mortal Wombat embraces the cartoonish style of children’s tv shows and gives your wombats some serious chrome upgrades. There appears to be some callbacks to Honey Heist here, so if you’re familiar with that one-pager, this game will probably be pretty easy to pick up and play.

Moose Trip, by Kira Magrann.

You’re a moose living in the human occupied wilds of Montana. You’ve just eaten some of your favorite psychedelic mushrooms with your friends. The streams are cooling, the willows ripe with delicious leaves, and soft orange moss dots granite rocks amid grassy fields. You’re settling into your favorite lush sanctuary here in the wilds for a mind altering and inspiring psychedelic trip.

This game is more of a conversational experience than something with a definable goal. You take turns rolling mushroom feelings, and then ask the group around you the related question. I think this game could also be used as a mini-game inside a larger campaign, regardless of who your characters are - you don’t even really need to be a moose to play.

The Warren, by Bully Pulpit Games.

The Warren is a tabletop role-playing game about intelligent rabbits trying to make the best of a world filled with hazards, predators and, worst of all, other rabbits. It is a game about survival and community.

There are many creatures, humans included, that are bigger, stronger, meaner, or more numerous than rabbits. The seasons and the elements do not care that rabbits are only little things. Rabbits cannot hope to meet these threats head on. Only through speed, wits, and keeping a cool head can rabbits bypass the dangers of the outside world.

The Warren hails from the PbtA family of games, and pulls greatly on rabbit stories such as Watership Down and Peter Rabbit. It comes highly lauded and is known for its ability to combine the idyllic comfort of being a small creature with the tragic horror of being everyone’s favourite prey. If you want a deep game that isn’t afraid to send you to some dark places, I recommend The Warren.

Really hope that decrypting the games w godmode9 allows me to play them on an emulator ~~

Cause if not idk 2hat else to do~~

Change their .cxi or .3ds to .cci and see if that works?

They didn't need to be drcrypted if I was using and could find citra i think~~

Late night trying to get my 3ds games to work on the steam deck instead of sleeping

lol

Also today I learned that apparently I can't use the 100 w charger I got with the dock to charge my steam deck and must use the official charger~~ cause i tried charging with it after I was done testing if and how the dock worked; and it looked like it was charging. It acted like it was charging.

But when I went to check it in desktop mode it wasn't charging at all and discharging instead. I'd thought a 100 w charger was enough to charge the steam deck~~ but idk how much the official one puts out cause i hadn't looked.

And I hope to hell and back the battery doesn't read 'full' at 97% cause it seemed to be new. Or at least refurbished cause someone put a terabyte drive in it and was selling it on Walmart.

Thinking about it i hope I didn't get ripped off~~

Still salty that after I got it in th4 mail, valve gets more in and I jumped on the lcd cause I thought they'd be out for the entire summer

T_T

The battery said 100% capacity when I checked it on desktop mode~~ but it also only charges to 99%

Is this normal?

[cascabelle]

Why the fuck is it November? It feels like no time has passed since NYE. We went up to farmland in the Macedon Ranges in Central Victoria that a friend’s family owned in the blistering heat. We danced the night away in a barn kitted out with decks and lights. There was a goddamn emu living in the paddock next to us. An emu!

What an odd, odd year. So much has changed in such a short space of time.

『Street Fighter Alpha 2 & 3』 Chun-Li & Sodom's Alternate Costumes

Did you know that the Street Fighter Alpha series features actual alternate costumes for a couple characters? Well yeah, you probably did, but let’s talk about it anyways.

One isn’t as ambitious as the other, but it’s still pretty cool. In Street Fighter Alpha 3, If you select Sodom with the X-ISM style, he’ll be decked out in his original Final Fight colors and weaponry.

This doesn’t just replace his in-game sprites, but his character portraits as well.

Being a prequel to the Street Fighter II series (but not the original game!), characters in the Alpha series could look a little different than they once had. A boyish Ryu’s wearing a white headband, Ken’s got much longer hair, Cammy’s classic green leotard is MIA and Chun-Li’s outfitted in athletic gear instead of her iconic blue dress.

Being an iterative sequel, it’s not surprising that Street Fighter Alpha 2’s returning characters use the same sprites from the previous game. Interestingly enough, one returning character, Chun-Li, was given an extra costume. 

This additional option allows users to play as Chun-Li with her original design from Street Fighter II∶ The World Warrior. The option to use Chun-Li's two designs are again available in Street Fighter Alpha 3.

[asknarashikari]

While the punch does not look like it landed at all. I still liked watching Houtaro, just full on deck Spanner in the face. I'm sure Mama Emu and Grandpa Ichigo are proud

Yeah, you can see that Yasunari Fujibayashi and Junsei Motojima couldn't quite get their timing right, lol. But I suppose it could be worse (i.e. Junsei accidentally hitting Yasunari for real)

I get the feeling we're gonna get a cathartic fight next ep. Let's be real, even if Houtaro's gonna hesitate in fighting Spanner, the power mismatch between these two is just hilarious. The fact that Houtaro's giving him a run for his money as Fire Gotchard- a powerup that's 2-3 tiers below the most powerful form he currently has- just shows how ridiculously outclassed Spanner is.

And if Houtaro doesn't hesitate to beat sense into him? Oh man is the schadenfreude gonna be sweet

[tex-now]

thank you to THESE people who have supplied me with ideas (@wodimewoahtime and @the-one-that-weeps you guys are great)

SO. SOME BIG CHANGES.

will be having a "theme" for each group to make things easier on myself because coming up with an individual theme for everyone is a nightmare. These are just some ideas, and I have more ideas than others for certain groups

WxS: Myths and mystical creatures, card deck, or a marching band.

I'm iffy on the card deck idea because well. World Link. All aces. I don't wanna just steal everything from canon. But if I go through with it... Tsukasa is the joker, Rui is the king, Nene is the queen, and Emu is the Jack (I think that's what it is).

For myths and legends tsukasa would be either a pegasus or a phoenix or even a dragon, Nene would be a mermaid, Emu would be a fairy, and rui would be a wizard/alchemist.

For marching band, Emu would play the tube or trumpet, Nene would play the flute, and rui and tsukasa are the conductor and the drum player I'm not sure which one goes where. This idea is the most cohesive but idk what powers I would give them other than. Music. This idea would actually be based off of the Let Your Song Resonate Throughout the SEKAI event rather than their own event cards.

N:25: Tarot cards. Tarot cards. Tarot cards. Lower save me.

Mizuki is obviously The Reverse Hermit and Kanade is The Reversed Hanged Man, but Mafuyu and Ena are the ones i have to do on my own.

For Mafuyu I'm thinking either Reversed Empress or Reversed Hierophant. Honestly both of them could be incorporated because they represent her during different stages of her development. Maybe if there ends up being like. An evolution of ones costumes. She could look more like the Reversed Empress at the beginning and then end up looking more like Reversed Hierophant at the end. just an idea

I'm looking at Reversed Chariot or Reversed Strength Ena. BUT I'm not 100% sure these represent her character well, so if anyone has anything to say about my choice here then go for it.

MMJ: Tokyo Mew M- I mean animal magical girls. Haruka could be a penguin, shizuku a dove, airi a cat, and maybe squirrel Minori? I need help with Minori. Maybe lamb Minori. Idc that lambs are associated with kohane she's a hamster that's the end of it. Also this is def gonna take from both their DREAM PLACE and Ai No Material outfits.

ANOTHER IDEA!!! their theme could be "gemstones" and they could take from their jewelery box set. Minori is sunstone, Haruka is aquamarine, Shizuku is jade, and Airi is spinel. These gems are all just from the project sekai Jewelery Box card game I think it is?

VBS: Okay so this one is most likely gonna be the most diverse out of all of them. Their theme is seasons. Kohane is spring (because spring baby), An is summer (she just gives off those vibes + her fiery spirit, Akito is fall because of the fact that his name normally gets mistaken for "fall" (look it up its on the wiki) and toya is winter (because mirai).

Akito is going to be based on his Kashika card (I think I can do something with the red strings) An is going to be based on her Machi card, Kohane is going to be based off of her Flyer Card (ty hoc) and her Beat Eater card (big ol hammer), and toya will be based off of his mirai and maybe Valentine's Day cards. Maybe. All of them are most likely going to take elements from blender.

L/N: Times of day. Was originally going to do this with VBS, but I moved it to Leoni.

I'm not too sure about the order but for now I will say that honami is morning, saki is midday, shiho is evening, and ichika is night.

All of them are going to be taking elements from the From Tokyo set, saki especially. Honami is going also use elements from her fea card (if I find a way to incorporate it), Shiho will take from her Draw Your Bow card (idk I like the outfit) and ichika I'm undecided on but she'll either take from her Stage of SEKAI card or her Made To Order card..

That's it

STAR TRAVELER SET STAR TRAVELER SET. also im still thinking about the little prince so its going to have little prince vibes

ok so emu's like. if a fairy was an astronaut. she explores around the galaxy on her starship (literally) and tries to bring magic and smiles to everywhere she goes. It's a little lonely, just her, but it's so fun!! She gets to see all these lovely places, and make so many friends (even if she has to leave them soon enough), and there's so many smiles!

one day, her ship accidentally crashes on a small planet. it's too damaged to do repairs, so she has to ask the locals for help fixing it. she doesn't know how to do it herself. the locals, while kind, say that there's nobody that knows how to do that. at least, nobody that the likes of emu should ever interact with. eventually, one of the villagers caves and reveals that the alchemist could fix her ship- but be warned. he's dangerous, so she should steer clear.

emu, in all her naievity and hope, decides to seek him out anyways. when she knocks on his door, however, she's not greeted with the face of a monster, but a lonely boy. he reluctantly invites her in, hesitant to truly accept she's genuinely fine interacting with him.

long story short emu learns that the alchemist truly is just misunderstood. he loves creating things (he's even made little robot creatures with his magic that can dance and sing!) and dreaming big. the villiagers just don't understand the way he thinks, because sometimes he can get a bit carried away. (he's also autistic)

rui ends up fixing emu's ship for her. he even added some of the fun ideas emu had offhandedly dreamed about but never thought were possible- a flower garden on the deck, and a water spout in the crows nest that creates a rainbow, and all these lights that make her ship her very own star!

emu hops on her ship and waves the alchemist goodbye. she sees the way his smile hides his sorrow. he tries so hard to pretend he won't be lonely when she leaves. she knows exactly how he feels.

emu takes the alchemist's hand and drags him up onto her ship before he has the chance to process what's going on. he'd always told her that he wants to reach the stars one day. (that he's always wanted to have a freind one day.) if the alchemist can make her dreams come true, then why can't she make his?

btw they eventually meet dragon tsukasa and mermaid nene on different planets and force them into their little rag-tag troupe.

hello!! i had the pleasure of writing a fic for @hammerbonk for the @winter-sekai-gift-exchange !!

she requested AnHane and something from her unit shuffle AU (which is incredible, go check it out!) , so i hope i did both of these things justice! :D

"I can't believe we're actually doing this," An sighs. She still doesn't believe this is happening. Even after a 45 minute train ride and a short walk to the convention center, she stands in a queue for a concert. An idol concert, nonetheless.

"Oh, lighten up Shiraishi! Keep your mind open to new experiences! I imagine this will be fun!" Rui smiles almost devilishly down at her. She grimaces back.

An is trying to keep an open mind, she swears. It's just hard since she hasn't been to an event this scale since renouncing street music.

"Ah, it's our turn!" Hinomori is smiling. Even Asahina looks less depressed than normal. Maybe this will be a good thing.

An was wrong. Oh god, she was so, so wrong. This is awful. The entire space is decked out in pink, sugary decor. The lights are blazing and the air is ridiculously humid. And all the people. There were so many people, more than An had ever seen in her life. Of course these girls that gave Asahina the tickets had to be famous.

Speaking of Asahina, she looked to be doing just as well as An was feeling. Her normally blank-staring face was twisted into an expression of anxiety and disgust. The things she must endure for her kouhai, An mused, must be pretty tame compared to this. Rui and Hinomori, on the other hand, seemed to be having the time of their lives. An had always known the two of them to be familiar with the idol industry, as Hinomori used to be a victim of it, and Rui had been hyperfixated on it for quite some time.

However, none of the others' opinions had any bearing on An herself. She decided to check the time. A quick glance at her phone told her it was 3:15, and the show started at 4:00. There was still a good 45 minutes before the show started. Maybe she should learn a little bit about this idol group. Just so she could put names to faces, or... something like that.

Instagram was as good of a place to start as she could think of. Opening the search bar, she grabbed the ticket back out of her pocket to check the name of the group. 'SUGARSMILE'.. Probably another one of those factory-made pink girl groups, An guessed.

As usual, she was right. Pastels and fairy decor covered the posts on the page. However, the pinned post's first slide was labeled group introduction. This should have some more general info about the group, right?

After clicking on it, the post opened to a group picture of what An assumed to be the group's members. Two girls with pink hair, two girls with blonde hair, and blinding smiles on all four. They were very pretty, as expected of girls in the idol industry.

The next slide was a little bio about one of the pink haired girls. Her name was Emu, and she was regarded as the leader of the group. The pictures of her on the slide depicted her as being incredibly energetic and fun-loving. This was most likely the girl who gave Asahina the tickets, as she regularly described the kouhai as a 'little whirlwind.'

On the next slide was, frankly, one of the prettiest girls An had seen in a long time. Her name was Kohane. Her blonde hair and shy smile had An wrapped around her finger almost immediately.

How could a girl be this cute, An wondered. Before long, she was looking to see if this girl had her own account, separate from the group one. She did. An spent the next few minutes looking through it, suddenly way more excited to see the show.

♫⋆｡♪ ₊˚♬ ﾟ.

Kohane was nervous, to say the least. It wasn't like anxiety was an abnormal thing for her, but today it seemed much worse. It was their first solo show, and to top it off, Emu had invited Asahina-senpai. If she hadn't already been nervous, this knowledge would have set her off even more.

Speaking of Emu, she was bouncing off the walls, as normal. The other members of their group, Airi and Saki, were stretching in the middle of the green room. Airi was directing Saki, making sure she was properly stretched out to avoid injury. All four of them had warmed up together earlier, but with Saki's history of injury and hospitalization, it never hurt to be careful. Kohane had been invited to join in, but when Airi noticed her anxious state, she was advised to simply take it easy until showtime.

This was not Airi's first rodeo, and it definitely showed. Kohane knew her senpai had been in the idol industry before joining SUGARSMILE, but hadn't realized how much experience she had. It was comforting to know they had someone who knew what they were doing to help them along.

Before long, Kohane had calmed down a bit. Sure, she was still nervous, but it was a good kind of nervous. The kind that makes you excited to do your best. It was showtime soon, and she finally felt ready.

At last, it was showtime. Their set was a simple six songs, one picked by each of the girls and their two group debut songs. Opening with Newly Edgy Idols, then From Tokyo, Parasol Cider, Flyer, The Theme of the Niccori Survey Team, and ending with The World Hasn't Even Started Yet. Kohane was confident in her vocals and dancing, so it was up to her to add some audience interactions and flair.

Entering the stage was an experience in itself. The room was dark except for the stage lights and the glow sticks that some of the audience held. As soon as Airi and Emu took their first steps onto the stage, the audience erupted into cheers. She and Saki followed behind, taking their spots for the music to start.

"More, more!" Airi started the song off strong, like always.

"More, more!" Emu echoed.

"More, more!" Kohane sang.

"More, more!" Saki followed.

Their dance moves were in sync as the song continued, Kohane feeling more and more confident as it went. She finally felt like she could do this! She turned her gaze out to the audience, scanning the crowd. The song ended and she struck her final pose, giving the audience a wink.

She caught the eye of someone in the audience. A girl with blue hair and amber eyes, standing next to.. was that Asahina-senpai? Ah, whatever, that wasn't important. This girl was so beautiful, and she was looking at Kohane like she had hung the stars and moon in the sky.

Kohane was in love at first sight.
