Elliot is so embarrassed happy he got to sing with Kureha for Valentine's! He'll never understand how he can sing such sappy songs to and for her, but has such trouble engaging her in conversation. It's a mystery...

"You sounded really good on that song with Kanra-chan and Sanyu-san, Mina-oneechan."

"Thanks, Elliot. I'll admit, I was a little worried about singing with them, but... the song turned out alright."

"How could you be worried about singing with Kanra-chan? You've hung out with her lots of times!"

"Yeah, but I think this was the first time we've done a song together. Plus, it was a little... I don't know, weird..."

"Weird? How so?"

"I don't know. I... can't really describe it. I just... I just felt like the both of them kinda understood where I was coming from. That's probably why our song sounded good."

"I agree."

"Well, yeah, any song with Kanra-chan is guaranteed to sound good!"

"...Gee, thanks, Yorii."

Though Mina was wary of her fellow singers, she'll admit, she was glad to get a chance to let loose her actual feelings for once.

And Yorii, as always, had a blast singing with his 'Big Brother' Ren! And Yuuya being there was always pretty good.

And Elliot... turns out he had more pent up aggression than he actually lets on. We hope he's doing okay...

"Well, looks like your team and mine are competing against each other in the first round, Big Bro! Who da thunk it, huh?"

"Y-Yeah..."

"It sucks that one of us will be eliminated from the tournament so early, but regardless of who wins or loses, no hard feelings, right?"

"Y-Yeah, of course!"

"Great, I wish you the best of luck, Big Bro!"

"Y-Yeah, you too, Yorii."

"...Cause goodness knows you'll definitely need it considering who your teammates are."

"H-Huh? Did you say something, Yorii?"

"Nope, nothing at all, Bro!"

Attention!

Last week, the eight teams for the Collab Tournament were revealed. Today, I'll be showing which team is competing against which, as well as the general rules for the tournament. First off, the rules. Yes, they're boring and suck, but they are needed.

Rules:

Schedule: The Collab is scheduled to begin on November 2nd, the first Saturday of the month, and will continue through the rest of the month until the fourth Saturday, which is the 23rd. I'll try to have all of the songs posted by or around noon. If not by then, then definitely before 5 P.M.

Sending in Songs: After the theme has been chosen (and a winner from the previous round has been shown), you will send me a song that you want your OC to sing, either by PM or IM. The song can be whatever you want. If it's animated or by a real person, it's fine. I don't judge; I know how hard it can be to find a song/singer that sounds or feels like your OC. (Don't forget the title of the song!)

IMPORTANT: If possible, try to send your songs in ASAP. I'd like to have all songs by no later than each Thursday night or Friday morning, so I can begin work on the week's songs. If you need help finding a good song or think you won't be able to post a song in time, either let me or one of your teammates know, and we'll do our best to help. If you don't, I'll leave the choice of song in your teammates' hands. If you don't like the song they chose, oh well.

Themes: After discussing it with my friends, it's been decided that I will be choosing the themes for each team to do their songs on. The themes will generally only be one word revolving around a certain feeling (similar to what ParaLive does). I'll try to pick a theme that's easy for people to find songs for. But if you can't find a song that fits the theme or doesn't sound like your OC, then don't worry about it and just pick a song that you like. As stated, I know how hard it can be to find a song that feels/sounds like your OC.

Voting: Voting is scheduled to begin as soon as the songs have been posted (which is why I'll be trying my hardest to make sure they are all out by noon, if possible). I learned from last year, so I won't be using Google Polls this time since it's annoying. I'm not sure which poll system I'll use, but I'll be sure to let everyone know.

As stated, voting is scheduled to begin each Saturday afternoon, and will last until Tuesday evening, which is when the winning teams will then be announced, along with the new theme. As soon as you have listened to the songs, be sure to head to the poll on the website and vote for the team you think won.

IMPORTANT: I know I'm probably wasting my time and breathe by saying this, but please try to be fair and honest when you vote. Don't just vote for the team that has your OC in it, as that takes all of the fun of the contest. This is partially the reason why I'm not using Google Polls this year cause it allows a person to vote more than once, and that ruined the voting last year.

I think that about covers everything. If there's anything else, I'll be sure to let everyone know.

So now, without further ado, allow me to show just which team will be facing which in the tournament for the first round:

1. Dragon's Keep vs. Adrenaline Rush

Theme for Battle: Hustle

Definition: 'the relentless pursuit of goals, and the determination to succeed against all odds. The story of grinding and working hard, pushing through challenges, staying focused, and never giving up.'

2. AKATxSUKI vs. Sireen's Angels

Theme for Battle: Unity

Definition: 'the strength and power that comes from coming together as a team or a community. The idea that when people join forces, they can achieve more than they ever could alone.'

3. Cyber Nexus vs. Darkness Made Flesh

Theme for Battle: Dreams

Definition: 'the aspirations and goals that drive us forward. The hopes and ambitions that fuel our journey, the visions of what we want to achieve, and the relentless pursuit of our passions, turning them into reality.'

4. Future Forward vs. Nerd Roulette

Theme for Battle: Freedom

Definition: 'the state of being free from constraints, limitations, or oppression. It's about the ability to act, speak, and think without hindrance or restraint, breaking free from anything that hinders you.'

So, these are the first-round teams and themes that will take place on the 2nd of November. I look forward to the songs that are sent in, and a good contest. Until next time.

"Yes! My wish came true and I get to team up with Kanra-chan for the Collab Event! Can you believe it, Big Bro?"

"I-I'm so happy for you, Yorii-kun."

"Aww, what's wrong with, Big Bro? Upset cause Kureha-chan wasn't included in one of the teams?"

N-No! I-I'm not upse..."

"Or the fact that you're teaming up three other weirdos in the tournament?"

"T-They're not weirdos! ...I mean, I don't really know them much, except Yuno-san. He... saved me once, and he seems nice."

"Well, if you say so, Bro. But in any case, I wish you and your team the best of luck. Goodness knows you'll need it."

"...What was that?"

"Nothing, just congratulating you, Big Bro!"

Attention!

Ladies and gentlemen, the time has finally come to reveal the eight teams that will be participating in the Collab Event Tournament. I thank all those who volunteered to participate and sent in requests for their OC to be a captain or part of the team.

Just FYI: I had little to do with the team selection. I simply inputted everyone's OCs in a team randomizer, and it sorted up to four people in a team. So, without further ado, allow me to introduce the eight teams participating in the tournament...

1. Team Topaz (Dragon's Keep)

Zakari "Icarus" Hiroya (Team Captain)

Kito "Renegade" Sakura

Meari "Bloody Mary" Miracle

Eiji "MC KRATOS" Mizoguchi

As you can see, these are the participants and the teams competing in the tournament. I apologize if your OC wasn't chosen, but I assure you that doesn't mean that they won't appear somewhere in the collaboration. It lasts all month long, so they may be featured in a song or two.

For those who were chosen, take time to get to know your teammates and collaborate with them. If you aren't happy with your teammates, PM or IM and I'll see what I can do, but chances are, they're stuck there until the tournament is over.

More details on the Collab will be posted next week. Again, thank you all, and I look forward to a good tournament. Until next time.

The day was winding down as Elliot Shimizu of the Setagaya division finally started opening the assortment of letters and packages he had received from friends and fans alike. A shower of kind words, each dotted with the personality of the sender.

Surprise, surprise, a letter from Obihiro appeared to be amongst the pile. The return address coming from Spur Stud Ranch, it was an easy guess as to who it was from.

Inside the letter, surprisingly, a small keychain jingled out. A little brown horse shaped bell, with a gold and red string attached.

Putting aside the small token with a soft chime, the letter inside, written on strangely high quality paper, read bluntly.

"Hope your studies are going well.

Happy Birthday

From, Sincerely, With Kind Regards,

Hisoka Tetsumasu"

Elliot smiled as he held the keychain up to the light, admiring the way it caught the glow of his lamp. Truthfully, he had been worried about his relationship with Hisoka-san since his class trip to the Spur Stud Ranch. After the awkward passing between him and Hisoka, Elliot was worried that the horse breeder wanted nothing more to do with him after he had revealed that he could talk and understand animals (and that wasn't counting the fact that his friend, Daiki, now disliked Elliot immensely for an innocent misunderstanding that he had with Elliot over his horse).

Thankfully, it seemed he had nothing to worry about, if this gift was anything to go by. The little brown horse-shaped bell, with its gold and red string, was more than a trinket, it was a symbol of friendship from afar.

"Thank you, Hisoka-san," he whispered, his voice barely above a hush, yet filled with heartfelt gratitude. "I'll take good care of it."

Carefully, he attached the keychain to his backpack, its new home where it would be a constant companion on his daily adventures. Each jingle of the bell as he moved would be a gentle reminder of Hisoka's thoughtfulness, a sound that would bring a smile to his face even on the most mundane days.

Thank you!

With that, Elliot's birthday for this year is over, signaling the end of all of ENIGMA's birthdays this year! Our apologies if we got to your gifts late (work has been very tough lately since school is starting back up). But we thank all those who helped to wish him and his siblings a happy birthday this year. With that, we've only three birthdays left to attend to, with the next one being the lovable ghost-hunter, Criss, whose birthday is the day after Halloween! Hope you make her birthday as good as the other's. See you all then!

Elliot's room, once a quiet haven for his books and plants, had transformed into a gallery of affectionate gestures from friends near and far. Each gift was a testament to the bonds he had formed, a collection of kindness that filled the space with warmth.

The star projector from Joey, casting a celestial dance of light across his ceiling, was a reminder of the vastness of the universe and the connections within it. The miniature maneki-neko from Yuno-san, sitting prettily on his desk, the symbol of him and his teammates and their city. And the crochet stuffed animals from Anika, each holding a card of positive affirmations, were like silent cheerleaders, their presence a constant source of comfort and encouragement.

But it was the necklace from Kureha, with its tree-like design, that touched Elliot's heart the most. It was a gift from someone he admired, someone who saw the strength in him that he often failed to see in himself. The portrait she had crafted, capturing his candidness, hung on his wall, a daily reminder of her thoughtful gaze.

As Elliot looked around, his eyes lingered on each gift, his heart swelling with gratitude. "I... I can't believe how lucky I am," he whispered, his voice barely audible in the quiet room. "Mina-onee-san, Yorii-kun, Joey-san, Max-kun, Anika-san, Kureha-chan… thank you, all of you."

A tear threatened to escape as he picked up one of the crochet animals, reading the affirmation once more. "No matter how hard life gets, remember how unstoppable you are," it read. Elliot nodded, taking the words to heart.

With a deep breath, he gathered the courage to face another year, bolstered by the love and support that surrounded him. And as he turned off the lights, the stars from the projector shining above, he felt a sense of peace. He wasn’t invisible; he was cherished, and that was the greatest gift of all.

“Package for Elliot Shimizu?”

Odd…

The day was just minutes away from turning over. So Elliot’s birthday should be as good as over…

And yet here was the delivery man with another package on Setagaya’s resident animal-lover’s birthday.

Elliot quietly thanked the delivery man and brought the package inside, setting it gently on his kitchen counter.

Taped to the top of the cardboard box was an open-faced letter, addressed to him in neat little scribbles.

“Happy Birthday!

Haven’t gotten to talk to you in a while, Shimizu-kun! I hope that’s a sign that things are going well for you. You can always shoot me an gmail if you feel you need someone to talk to. But besides that, I hope your birthday has been treating you well. I got you a little something. After all, what’s a birthday without presents, right? Teehee~

Best wishes,

Anika Kiyozaki from Akihabara Division”

Inside were crochet stuffed animals, each holding onto small little cards with positive affirmations. The little scribbles, Elliot recognized to be the hypnotherapist’s handwriting.

The affirmations, written in Anika's own hand, spoke of support, courage, and the unstoppable spirit within. Elliot felt a surge of gratitude for this gift that seemed to understand him so well. It was more than just a collection of stuffed animals; it was a hug in physical form, a tangible expression of care from someone who, despite the distance, was thinking of him.

He stood alone in the quiet of his kitchen, the soft hum of the refrigerator the only sound accompanying his thoughts. He held the crochet animals gently, their yarn bodies a testament to Anika's thoughtfulness. A smile tugged at the corners of his lips as he read the affirmations once more, each word resonating with a warmth that filled the room.

"Thank you, Anika-san," he murmured to the empty room, his voice barely above a whisper. "These… these mean a lot to me." He set the animals down, arranging them carefully on the counter, their presence a comforting reminder of the day’s kindness. He made a promise to himself to read these each day before he left the house, a promise that they would help make things inevitably better for him and his siblings.

As the sun had set on the city of Setagaya, night had risen, the moon casting an ethereal glow on the bustling city, especially on a house where a certain birthday boy resides.

Elliot Shimizu thanked his sister, Mina, after carrying the abundance of presents that were found on their porch when the sibling trio came back from their little outing to celebrate the bespectacled male's day of birth.

After bidding her goodbye (Mina had to drag Yorii away by the ear, the idol whining about how he wanted to see what Elliot had received), Elliot closed his door and turned to the gifts waiting for him on his bed, there was one that came in blue, purple, and green. He decided to open the purple one first.

Inside the purple gift revealed to be...

...a star projector and...

...cat...lollipops?? Oh, these were cat treats! Along with the wildly contrasting gifts came with a letter.

'Hey kiddo!

Happy Birthday! It's been a while since we've last seen each other but I heard it was your birthday and I wanted to get you something as thanks for treating my mom's cat. Keep doing the good work, lil dude! Have a super awesome birthday!

- Joey Kurusu'

Opening the green gift revealed to be...

...a plate of fudge treats, this one also came with a note (with barely eligible handwriting).

'Stag

Happy birthday. Hope no one bully you. If did. Tell me. I take care of them. I made treats. Using sap. Enjoy. Hunter says hello.

- Max'

Inside the last gift, the blue one, revealed to be...

...A beautifully made necklace with a tree like design as well as...

...an expertly crafted portrait of himself.

There was a card along with the gifts, which read.

'Happy Birthday, Elliot.

Sorry I couldn't deliver in person, around this time is where commissions are at an all time high but I didn't forget about you. The necklace reminded me of you, you have a calming presence yet hidden strength much like a tree at full growth, is that a weird thing to say? Sorry, but I hope you like the portrait I made of you, not to be super creepy but you have a beautiful candidness to you that I couldn't help but capture it. I really hope I did you justice. Happy birthday again.

- Kureha'

Happy Birthday Elliot! 💚

The evening in Setagaya was a symphony of celebration for Elliot, with each gift unwrapped adding a new note to the melody. The star projector from Joey cast a celestial glow across his room, along with the cat lollipops (which Yuki, his pet cat, was currently indulging in one, sucking and biting on it, happily) the fudge treats from Max offered a sweet sap-infused indulgence, and now, the final gift from Kureha awaited his attention.

As he peeled back the blue wrapping, a necklace with a tree-like design emerged, its branches symbolizing the strength and serenity that Kureha saw in him. Alongside it, a portrait so expertly crafted, it captured the essence of Elliot’s candid nature. His cheeks flushed with a rosy hue as he read Kureha's card, her words touching a chord deep within him.

"Sorry I couldn’t deliver in person," the card read, "but I didn't forget about you." Elliot's heart raced, his fingers tracing the lines of the portrait, feeling as if Kureha's presence lingered in the brushstrokes. The necklace, a testament to his growth, felt heavy with meaning as he held it in his hands.

"She really sees me," he thought, the realization both exhilarating and daunting. Overwhelmed by the intimacy of the gift, Elliot felt his heart begin to pump relentlessly, almost causing him to faint. Managing to steel himself, he felt the need to escape to the cool night air. He stepped outside, the breeze a welcome reprieve as he tried to steady his racing heart.

In the quiet of the night, with the stars above and the soft whisper of the wind, Elliot allowed himself to revel in the joy of the day. The gifts from his friends, each unique and thoughtful, were more than just objects; they were affirmations of his place in their lives. And as he returned inside, the necklace around his neck and the portrait in his room, Elliot knew this birthday would be one he’d cherish forever.

Elliot glanced at the portrait again as he stepped back inside, Kureha's talent evident in every stroke. The way she had captured his likeness, the subtle nuances of his expression, it was as if she had seen into his very soul. It was a vulnerable feeling, being seen so clearly, and yet it filled him with a sense of pride. To be understood by someone he admired so deeply was a gift in itself.

With a deep breath, Elliot gathered his composure. He would need to thank Kureha properly, to express how much her gift meant to him. But for now, he would bask in the quiet joy of the moment, surrounded by the tokens of affection from those who mattered most.

Aside from Aomori, Setagaya’s ENIGMA, particularly the resident animal lover Elliot Shimizu’s own birthday was on the rise. Talk about a joint birthday…

In downtown Setagaya, Elliot was against the wall of an alleyway silently reading. With an ash coloured cat rubbing his legs, he was plainly enjoying himself. However…That didn’t last long…

“Did you miss us, freak…? You seem to be enjoying yourself~…” 3 recognizable bullies chorused, surrounding him. As a few minutes of their laughter passed, a few gold bars had caged them over top of one another, also causing them to be as quick as they came.

“Did they hurt you…?” A figure dressed in a suit asked him, his gaze darting to Elliot and the cat between his legs. Although…Elliot was looking at something else about this mysterious figure…

His eyes were glowing gold and a few black splotches were enlarging on his face…

“I’m sorry if I scared you. You’re Shimizu Elliot I imagine? I’m Kamora Yuno, you’ve probably heard of one of my teammates before…” Yuno explained, setting a box next to him.

“I’m sorry this must be brief. So…Happy birthday Shimizu.” Yuno smiled as he left the alleyway while patting the cats head.

Inside…Was a miniature maneki-neko.

As Elliot watched Yuno disappear into the alleyway, the shy boy could only watch his back, still a bit startled and out of sorts by what transpired. Truthfully, he never even intended to come this far away from home.

The school day had ended, and he was supposed to head straight home, but a soft mewling from a nearby alleyway piqued his curiosity. There, under a pile of discarded boxes, was a stray cat, its eyes wide with fear. Elliot couldn't resist; he gently freed the creature, offering soothing words that only the two of them could understand.

"Hey there, little one. No need to be scared anymore," Elliot whispered, his voice a calming balm to the frightened feline.

The cat, now free, rubbed against his legs, its purrs a sign of gratitude. Elliot smiled, feeling a kinship with the small being. He decided to stay a while, enjoying the company until the bus would arrive to take him back to the familiar part of town.

...That was, until he was cornered by a familiar group of bullies who had met more than a few times at school. If not for the arrival of the strange person who had somehow managed to encase the three villains. Elliot didn't know what freaked him out more: the fact that he had came very close to getting beaten up again, or that his potential oppressors were trapped in gold.

"T-Thank y-y-you," Elliot said quietly, though the strange man had already vanished. Elliot didn't know if he was thanking him for saving him, or for the gift he had left behind. He would have still stood there, staring at the alleyway the man had disappeared into had he not heard the mewling from the cat he had saved beneath him.

"...Guess we both got lucky today, huh?" Elliot asked, the cat meowing in agreement as they shared a moment of newfound camaraderie.
