Past - Princess of tennis Chapter 2

“Echizen, stay behind. I’d like to discuss something with you.” Tezuka stood in front of the net on the tennis court, Momochan-sempai had nodded and waved goodbye when (s)he had nudged his head toward the captain. 

“What is it captain? A practice match?” Ryoma hopes so, after that nightmare; she needs a distraction although she feels bad for using her captain, the ugly feeling in her heart wouldn’t disappear. 

“Not now, however.” The captain’s closed eyes slowly opened to see the reaction of his kouhai and next pillar of support. The confusion seemed to show on his(er) face, his(er) left brow slightly raised. 

“Are you perhaps keeping a secret?” Ryoma had never felt her blood run colder than before, her racket (that had its head resting on the curve of her shoulder) slipped from her grip from the pure shock and horror she was feeling. That nightmare had been a warning sign... There’s no way... Why- Why now of all- 

Tezuka was taken back from the reaction, Echizen’s posture became completely stiff all over, (s)he dropped his(er) racket and didn’t move an inch to try and grab it again. The color drained from his(er) face, now that he took a good look at it; Echizen was thinner, slimmer, and shorter than most boys his(er) age. Maybe... No, he shouldn’t torture him(er) like this if (s)he isn’t ready yet. 

“Never mind trying to explain, I have my suspicions. However, do not let that make you careless. Grow stronger.” Tezuka walked pass him(er) after clasping him on the shoulder and quickly letting go. 

‘Ho-how...?’ (S)he slowly turns his(er) head to the direction his(er) captain had walked off to. His(er) bottom lip quivered but (s)he bit it, the stinging making him(er) focus. 

Kneeling and picking up her beloved red racket from the ground. ‘Captain... Are you...disappointed?’ 

Of course, he is... This was the Pillar he chose and yet, the Pillar was apparently weak. 

Ryoma blinked away the tears as he breathed in, his(er) entire frame shaking badly, trying to calm her nerves from an emotional overload that might begin to get worse. 

‘Stop, stop it. Don’t cry. Don’t cry, goddammit!’  

Ryoma played with her food, dazed and worried. She couldn’t simply put it behind her and ignore it... When people found out she was a girl... It was all just bad... Their reactions were all of anger. Trying to protect their pride because they were defeated by a girl. They no longer saw her as the skilled tennis player they played along with. 

And when she tried joining as a girl, they expected her to become the Manager of all things. When she spoke up with wanting to play with them... They mocked her. They suggested she should stay in the kitchen and cook for all of them while they do the ‘hard’ men stuff. 

Which was winning. 

They never won a practice match. Pathetic, and they said that to her right before their final practice match. There had been a deal behind the tennis match, if the club doesn’t win, the tennis club would be disbanded. 

They lost. 

She transferred to another elementary school again. 

Again. Again. Again. 

Until she had enough and decided to move back to Japan. 

“Echizen-kun?” The girl in disguise as a boy jumped in his seat when a fellow freshman team member had tapped his(er) shoulder. 

“Woah, we surprised Ryoma-kun. Are you okay?” Kato placed his tray down on the table as he sat down. Katsuo right behind him, the only excuse Ryoma could think of was- 

“Y-yeah, just not getting enough sleep...” Ryoma let his(er) head rest on his(er) palm again, lazily eating his food. Hoping it would be enough of an excuse, the freshman regular realizes his mistake- 

“Eh?! Ryoma-sama's not sleeping well?!” The leader of the so-called ‘Ryoma fanclub’ enters the scene and is loud as ever, not that Ryoma minded but it could go a bit out of hand. 

“Ryoma-kun...” Sakuno muttered behind Tomoka, her eyes gazing at the boy worriedly. 

“Well, I have been getting sleep, just not enough!” Tomoka was frantically checking over him(er) like (s)he’ll pass out any minute. Ryoma just let her, since she was just worried. Katsuo stood up, saying that he’ll go ahead and inform the sempais, Kato was also checking everything about him. Horio commenting about his ‘2 years of experience’ and how ‘not sleeping enough’ could cause you a game or even a match. 

I do know that. It was just a lie. 

Why did everyone take it so seriously? 

*** 

End of practice and of school. As per usual, (s)he hangs out for Momo-senpai for a while before returning home. Particularly, they chose a candy shop near a park as a hang out. Momoshiro, of course, let the children pick first. The old lady who owns the small shop smiled kindly at the youngsters. 

Ryoma sat on a park bench, letting his(er) muscles relax for a while before continuing training at home. He already got his soda of choice from the vending machine nearby. He waits for his senpai who was waiting in line, kids just flock over the guy, don’t they? 

“Hey! What are you doing?!” Suddenly pulled out of his relaxed daze, Momoshiro grabbed the wrist of the punk who had hit the nice old lady. 

“Baachan, are you okay?” One of the five kids in the shop had helped the elderly woman up and the others bravely yet nervously stood in front of her. 

“Why would you do that?!” Like the pure hearted man he was, the second-year regular demanded an answer from the hostile delinquents. All of them were armed with dangerous weapons; a nailed bat, a sharp rod, and pocket knives. 

“Hey, old lady. Your grandson snitched on us didn’t he? Mh, what’s his name? Ah, forget it-” 

“So, you’re going to hurt a sweet old lady because her grandson did something to you? How pathetic.” Ryoma snarked back, throwing his(er) empty can of soda in the trash bin. “Those look dangerous, maybe put them away?” (S)he bounces the tennis ball on the side of his racket.  

“Ryoma!” Momoshiro exclaimed with a smile. Finally, some back up! 

“Like that’ll stop us from destroying this place!” The ‘leader’ of sorts charged toward the short ‘boy’. Yeah, they’re choosing the hard way out. 

*** 

Ryoma and Momo were lucky enough that they were gullible enough to lead the small group (they were only five of them) of delinquents outside to a wide area, perfect for firing tennis balls at them. 

“AHH!” One of the kids thought they could help; he had a similar white cap liker his(ers). Momoshiro commented that he saw him fire a few pebbles at them with his slingshot but alas; he was caught. 

“Kid, run!!” Momoshiro tried to do his dunk smash on the guy who was about to swing his nailed bat down on the poor scared child, who had already curled up into himself, his knees close to his chest; but he left his head vulnerable when he had hugged his knees tightly. 

Ryoma saw him(her)self. 

Ryoma dropped the tennis ball and his(er) racket. Time seemed to slow when he was dashing forward to pull the small kid into his(er) arms, Momoshiro was pinned by two other guys, the rest of the Seigaku regulars that the kids have scurried to gather finally turning the corner. 

“H-huh...?” Was the kid’s first words after the nailed bat had been brought down full force. Gazing up, the kid’s smaller hazel eyes stared into Ryoma’s pain-filled ones. “A-are you- okay-?” Short gasps of air were the ones to disrupt his voice. Ryoma felt the blood trickle down his brow, feeling it drip from the nape of his neck too. 

“RYOMA-KUN!” 

“ECHIZEN?!” 

“OCHIBI!” 

They were here! Ryoma breathed heavily as (s)he let go of his(er) hold on the kid and let him run back to the rest of his group, and hopefully to the old lady too. “Ochibi, an old lady said there was a fight happening and then you- Ochibi, stay with me!” Kikumaru-senpai's voice came through the ringing in his ears. 

The red-head started to panic even more when his kouhai’s head went slump on his shoulder, “Ochibi! Ochibi!” The third year was basically close to crying, there was too much blood coming out of Ryoma’s head, red doesn’t suit him at all, it was nasty! 

“Eiji, calm down! Be careful with his head too, someone call an ambulance!” Oishi kneeled down beside him as he assessed the freshman regular’s condition. Kaido kicked the last of the delinquents in the stomach, knocking him away; venting his anger when he had beaten them to a bloody pulp with Momoshiro. 

“Here, this is clean, don’t worry. I had already called for an ambulance.” Inui handed Oishi a clean cloth, his phone in hand; proof that he had already dialed for the vehicle. 

Tezuka left for his rehab, now this? Oishi felt more pressure and anxiety tying knots in his stomach- 

“Ugh...” “Oishi... His head...” A pained groan from Ryoma snaps him out of it, shaking away his thoughts, Kikumaru holds up his kouhai’s limp body when his double’s partner finally started to treat him in first aid. 

“I’m sorry...” The acting captain muttered softly when their kouhai’s brows creased together at the pain. “He’ll be fine... He’ll be fine...” Kikumaru chanted softly, what Oishi doesn’t know if it's to comfort him or the others. 

Fuji didn’t like it when Momoshiro and Kaido get violent but quite frankly, these delinquents deserved it. He took the racket from Kawamura’s hand but that didn’t seem to make the angered expression disappear from his usual soft and kind face. 

The so-called Prodigy steeled his nerves as he felt himself began to shake, from anger? Anxiety for his kouhai that he now sees as a little brother? Yearning? “He’s going to be fine. We’ll make sure of it.” 

Why... 

Why.... 

Why....?! 

*** 

When Ryoma woke up, the first person she sees is her dad. Nanjiro, his head and upper body leaning on her hospital’s bed side, the railing pulled down. To her right was her mom, Rinko. Having a firm grip on her hand, dried tear tracks stained her cheeks. 

Both of her parents looked tired and honest-to-god worried. 

She began recalling her memories, why she was here and what got her injured- 

Oh, oh no... 

“Dad, if my wound ends up tearing open again... Tell them who I really am... Tell them what you know of the incident in America...” 

Dear heavens... She just got kicked out the tennis club, didn’t she? Tears welled up at the corner of her eyes, her chest tight with emotion and her head starting to hurt as well. No, no! She didn’t want to be out of the club! She wanted to stay, she wanted to play tennis with those amazing players.. 

No one can just take it away from her because her tennis style was ‘girly’. 

No one can just take it from her because she plays with her long hair... 

No one can just take it from her because she’s a girl!!

Ehehheehe.... ALL ABOARD THE ANGST TRAIN I GUESS

Tezuka and Fuji are from the Senior League but they never met each other in middle school because they were from different districts. Their potential was about the same. Tezuka hid his injury for most of their 2nd year though because the senpai catcher made him pitch too many forkballs and splitters. Fuji still thinks he’s no match for Tezuka even though he has good control over his balls. Fuji is also the first one who noticed Tezuka hiding his injury and was the one in most despair after Tezuka’s injury was finally diagnosed which pushed tezuka to undergo intensive rehab.

Echizen has been playing baseball since he was young but he really doesn’t love it. HIs father was a former pro in the NPB though and he had been training his son to follow his footsteps. If there’s a position Echizen likes, it’s 2nd base but since he’s a leftie, the coaches in the little league trained him as pitcher. He has been considered a baseball prodigy as a child. He’s one of the relievers for his school now but there is a possibility that he  will switch to infield during college. Even if he likes infield more, he doesn’t hold back in wanting to take the Ace position from Tezuka.

Ibu Shinji is a quiet guy but also a talented pitcher like Echizen. He has decent control over his fastball (strike zone divided to 4 parts). He’s currently learning some breaking balls to make his fastball more effective.

Kikumaru and Oishi have been together since Senior League and have seamless cooperation in the defense. Oishi wanted Kikumaru to be pitcher and form a battery with him but Kikumaru loves the freedom of leading the infield and is more attracted to highly acrobatic plays. He’s also the reason why Oishi’s aim to 2nd Base when they tag runners out never falters.

Tezuka struckout Tachibana multiple times in Senior League that’s why they have deep respect for each other as Ace and Captain. Tachibana was glad that he’d have Tezuka as a teammate but was also devastated when the full extent of Tezuka’s injury had been known. Tachibana is quietly encouraging Fuji to take up temporary Ace position because he knows Fuji has the ability and potential to  be a true Ace.

Kawamura loves baseball with all his heart. He’s an absolute beast when given a bat and is a true slugger who wants to hit everything for the fence. He’s gonna stop playing baseball after highschool and focus on becoming a sushi chef. That’s why he gives batting his all. He also loves to spout random english words while on the plate. Let’s pray he won’t be ejected by the umpire for being a loudmouthed idiot. He’s the next cleanup after Tachibana and he’s darn good at it.

Coach Ryuzaki is the rare type of lady coach but she has prove her mettle once again. She’s well respected by other coaches in the prefecture for being no nonsense and strict. Her granddaughter Sakuno and friend Tomoka act as managers on the team.

Ice skating Au

Because I just watched 4CC and I need to (obviously) push real life onto anime characters: THERE IS A REASON FOR THE CUT HERE

Seishun skating club, aka Seigaku:

(main)Trainers: Ryuuzaki Sumire, Tezuka Kunimitsu, Oishi Shuichiro

Senior skaters, singles men: Fuji Shuuske(20), Kikumaru Eiji (19still)

Junior skaters, men: Katou Kachiro, Mizuno Katsuo, Echizen Ryoma (moving to Seniors this year at age 16)

Senior Skaters, Ladies: ??? What’s that

Junior skaters, Ladies: Ryuuzaki Sakuno (moving to seniors this year at age 16)

Pair skaters, Senior: Tachibana Ann&Momoshiro Takeshi, ???&Kaidoh Kaoru (he can’t find a partner to communicate well with, and Ann is taken by that dumbass...)

There is no Dance seniors in Seigaku. Some people hope the Juniors would move up this year like their singles counterparts, but they’re...welll...

Dance skaters, junior: Osakada Tomoka&Horio Satoshi (who the hell paired them up?!)

Therapist: Kawamura Takashi

Club Manager: Inui Sadaharu

More info because I suck:

0. All of the main coaches had been active skaters at one point- Sumire took part in two Olympics during her age and won one bronze; Tezuka had been a star that is considered pushing the sport to higher limits, at least until he didn’t pushed his body past its limit. He still pushes the sport, but from the sidelines now. Oishi had the most versatile career, changing to Pairs and then to dance once it turned out an injury he thought nothing of turned out to pull him back in singles career, then let his partner in Pair go to allow her more evolution with younger (and stronger) partner(it was him who proposed side-by side axel though). He haven’t got the Dance career, as he was just a training partner to his little sister while she searched for a partner with less age gap (there’s almost seven years between her and Shuuichiro).

1. Sumire works with all skaters coming to the club, but lets Tezuka and Oishi chose and focus on skaters they think might develop under their wings, the only exception being Echizen, who she pushed to Tezuka ever since the brat moved to Juniors from Novice. 

2. This makes things look weird, because so far the only skater Tezuka accepted to train had been Fuji, earning him the name Tensai. Right now Fuji is trained by both Tezuka and Oishi. Oishi is the one who rides with him to competitions most often, though people noticed it’s Kawamura who goes with him EVERY TIME...

3.Oishi thought he had it hard when he started training Kikumaru Eiji- he had been proven otherwise. Still, the trio gets along pretty nicely,and the fact that Eiji and Fuji are relatively even all rounders, they tend to pull each other up a lot.

4. Fuji’s birthday are in the second half of the season, Eiji’s are relatively at the beginning, which means they compete for at least first half as the peers, but nobody really pays attention to that, except for Eiji. The fact that age gap between skaters and their coaches (well, most of them) is less than five years is noticed, though.

5. Oishi, being the only coach with Pairs and Dance experience, trains reps for both disciplines, though it seems it wasn’t his idea to put Osakada&Horio team together...

6. There is a suspection it’s Inui who keeps the selection of Kaidoh partners so hard, though it seems Oishi Rika might just pass it, considering how cute she is,and how most people know how Kaidoh is a secret softie (which might cause problem during twists...)

7.Eiji is considered to have the most balance between jumps power and flexibility on the field, and his spins are one of the highlights of his programs, though he prefers jumps (yeah, he’s the show off kid). The legendary video of him doing a hyperextended Biellman during the training got viral thanks to one Fuji Shuuske, and it got a ‘not so bad for a man’ comments from a lot of female skaters.

8. Fuji on the other hand is one of those flawless artists who get more Rippons and Tanos (aka hands above the head during jump) than they do the spins without travelling. Oh and people love his expressions on-ice- his another nickname is Ice Angel. Some discuss that it’s too ladylike though...until they see his quads.

9. Echizen is hoped to finish the troika of Seigaku, as Eiji and Fuji have been trading gold and silver in every competition they take part in together for some time now. The reason is, while most people admits Fuji at his fullest is unreachable, he rarely gives his all, doing just enough to get above the others, and Eiji is...well, hard to predict even on his good day-during the competition he’s more of an enigma than a human. This means, if Fuji overcalculate, he ends up with silver. He almost always gets revenge on the next competition.

10. Eiji has a tendency to flip his skates guards around his hand before handing them over to Oishi. Apparently, Oishi has learned how to read from the twirl how fired up redhead is. Inui is still working on how he does that, Tezuka has given up. Ryuuzaki just laugh when it’s brought up in conversation.

11. Talks about nepotism sometimes hit skaters, especially Sakuno. Since everybody knows how damn hard the girl is fighting for her position, Ann will personally kick your ass if you say something about Sakuno...of course, she’ll be representing all of the Seigaku feels, not only hers!

12. Speaking of An, she moved over from the training base under her brother to switch partners (Ibu & Kamio both are bitter about it af, but it was Tachibanas decision so they can’t protest). Even after she left she gets regular updates on what Fudoumine club is up to. She is actually the bonding element between Fudoumine and Seigaku, her older brother also being one of the more famous coaches. (Tachibana Kippei and Oishi often bond over their fear for their little sisters being chucked into air like that)

13. Nobody knows who the hell paired Tomoka and Horio up, especially as dance partners, since their characters (supposedly) makes them more suitable for Pairs, but Oishi don’t want to know how letting Horio throw Tomoka would end.

14. If Eiji doesn’t make at least one program during the season, either short, long or exhibition to a cheerful, fun pop/rock music, consider him sick- or a loser in the bet against Fuji. It happened before.

15. Nobody lets Oishi chose their music for themselves- he either overreacts to the importance of new duty, or chose something reeeeally weird (Fuji pulled out his sea waves exhibition somehow, but- again- it’s Fuji)

16. On the other hand, everybody constantly lets Fuji and Kawamua chose music/ color palette for their costumes. They’re known as misters Good Tastes of Seigaku.

17. The only accident that put a question mark on their judgement was one of the galas where Fuji’s costume looked surprisingly like salmon nigiri with a lot of wasabi...he still pulled it off, and apparently, it was his own suggestion.

18.Karupin is a living mascot of Ryoma, and thus he gets a ton of himalayan mascots from his fans, pretty much like Eiji gets teddy bears of all kind, and Fuji gets the weirdest stuff girls can think of. He even keeps the wasabi sushi mascot from one of his competitions.

Oishi-Kikumaru Pair:

There’s a bit of complicated situation at the beginning of both Eiji’s and Oishi Rika’s careers, the complication being why Oishi and Eiji actually met. Rika was originally a dance skater without a partner suitable for competing for her age(Oishi being only the training partner to keep the synchronization and lift skills thaining in her regime), and Eiji started skating as a pair partner to his older sister. After said sister retired due to her body not managing the pressure (a fact for which Eiji is secretly blaming himself), he is suggested to transfer to dance while his body (and stamina) develops enough to be able to freely support his partner; it’s where he meets Oishi, at that moment searching for a dance partner for his sister.

 Rika is actually interested, since she wanted to try Pair competition for some time, but knew her brother injury (a wrist) wouldn’t let him pair with her without anxiety of her safety (she’s right), so she jumps at the chance when she is paired with Eiji. After learning, and eventually winning some novice competitions that allow them to move to juniors, it’s Rika who breaks their pairing up, feeling the raising anxiety of her partner (and his growing affection for her brother, nii-sama, why do you have to steal all the good guys) and making Eiji admit to himself that he wants to show off. 

She and her brother disagree but still respect Eiji’s reason of Him “Rather skating where he can hurt only himself and not his lil sis” (Rika is getting a lot of little sister-zoned, lol). Rika paired with few others skaters until she wasn’t offered by Ryuuzaki to come to Seigaku. Thanks to her lithe frame (she never got past 160cm) and accuracy on par with her brother’s, she has a big chance of becoming Kaidoh’s partner and moving to Seniors- provided she won’t get too fired up by rumors of nepotism in Seigaku. She’s as overprotective of her older brother as he is of her.

Surprisingly, she gets along with Ryoma and (of all people) Osakada-Horio pair.

Ship theories, just because:

1.Contrary to the public belief, Ann and Momoshiro don’t date. They’re best buds, okay, but Ann prefers brunets...or...brunettes... the fact Momo doesn’t mind boys either makes it easier for them to bond.

2. Inui bases qualification of Kaidoh’s partners on how he behaves around them. Since Rika is a December baby born year after Kaidoh, he treats her like his little sister (a lot of approval from Oishi) rather than partner, but Inui still worries if this is enough to show a good performance in well, pairs. Then again, it means...

3. Pillar Pair won��t exist unless Ryoma turns eighteen, or so Tezuka says. Fuji is more than glad to help his kouhai change his coach’s mind, especially since this means he doesn’t have to worry about newcomer stealing HIS therapist...

4. Golden Pair is as fluffy as they always are, though Oishi made it obvious that he won’t let Eiji get into anything serious until he turns twenty- nobody waits for the first half of the season more than Eiji do, especially since one of the galas are planned for his birthday, and he has a great exhibition planned for it, thanks to Fujiko.

5. They are also fluffy until it gets to quad practice, where Eiji whines all the time-and Fuji sometimes join, without whining, tho-since Oishi forbid both of them from trying quad axels, despite both of them being the most consistent edge jumpers in the whole Seigaku. Currently, there is a war going on for the Lutz Fuji is training while Eiji is still on the Loop and Flip. Oishi is as stubborn as his trainees though.

Tenipuri Space AU

Okay, so this is going to be pretty garbled cuz i’m tired and trying to get this all from a tumblr chat @solosorca and I have been having for the past 2 hours minimum, BUT IT’S ALSO AMAZING.

(below a cut for length)

Seishun - battle class ship Captain - Tezuka Kunimitsu Pilot/Second-in-command - Oishi Syuichiro Communications Specialist - Fuji Syuusuke Radar? Fighter pilot? - Momoshiro Takeshi (still up for grabs) Fighter Pilot - Echizen Ryoma Fighter Pilot - Tachibana An Fighter Pilot - Kikumaru Eiji Lead Scientist - Inui Sadaharu Science Officer - Sakuno Ryuzaki Med-Bay - Osakada Tomoka Engineer - Kaidoh Kaoru Engineer - Kawamura Takashi Ensign (Med-Bay) - Kachirou Katou Ensign (Engineering) - Katsuo Mizuno Ensign (Security) - Horio Satoshi

Hyotei Empire Aliens with a very strong holding of multiple galaxies Atobe Keigo is the crown prince Currently out traveling to create treaties and see about expanding Hyotei’s holdings Oshitari Yuushi is Communications specialist Oshitari and Fuji do not get along at all, but share all the ship’s gossip with each other Will also share misinformation with each other mixed into the gossip.  It is both a game and a test to see if they can pick out what is and is not true. Atobe had heard tales of Tezuka in his early years as a fighter pilot and was very excited to come across his ship during travels.  So excited, in fact, that he drew the Seishun into a battle to test Tezuka’s command capabilities. Now they are begrudging allies.

Rokkaku - Deep Space Exploration No one is sure if these guys are actually crazy or immune to the insanity deep space tends to drive humans to, but either way these guys spend most of their time exploring the unknown, unmapped parts of dark space -- the edges of the known universe or the long gaps of empty space between galaxies that were left untouched for fear of being forever lost in (think how ships in earlier times kept to parts of the sea where they could still see land, that’s how most ships travel in space, but NOT ROKKAKU!!!) Spending a lot of time out there with only infrequent returns to the civilized universe to pass on any new discoveries or map expansions, they tend to do their own ad hoc ship repairs or adjustments, so their ship looks like a mess and like it should be falling apart but it is in super amazing shape and perfect for what they need it for. Captain - Aoi Kentarou      +took the position cuz he thought it’d make him seem super attractive to girls      +mostly girls are concerned he’s crazy so avoid him Most positions on deep space exploration ships are filled by people who are cross-trained, because they are too far for any sort of response from other ships in emergency situations.  For example, Kurobane and Davide are both fighter pilots, but Kurobane is also a mechanic while Davide fills the role of ship counselor (a necessity on expeditions like this because the solitariness of deep space has led to...incidents.  Icchan is Med-Bay doc and scientist.  Saeki is communications and second-in-command, helping Aoi with battle tactics when required.  Ryo is pilot and radar (his set-up is insane and nobody else really gets how he does it)...I honestly don’t know what to do with Shudoh yet... Anyway, whenever Rokkaku comes back on the map, they always have the coolest stuff to share, but everyone’s afraid to make first contact, because what if they ahve gone off the deep end this time....

--Deep Space/Incidents/Character history-- Deep space is very solitary.  Like, there is usually nothing out there except when a new galaxy is found or they come across intergalactic stars/planets, etc.  So sometimes, when people have been out there too long, they way they think gets warped and suddenly ships don’t come back or they do but they’re pirates or cause extreme destruction.  There are rules in place that require a counselor on board all deep space exploration ships and any time a ship begins to show signs of mental instability amongst its crew, they have direct overarching orders to return to the nearest base for reassignment.  Most deep space crews are regularly shuffled around so no one is out there too long.  Rokkaku makes people nervous because of how long the crew has been together and in deep space. Fuji and Saeki were once both on a deep space exploration ship as ensigns and were the only two to make it back.  They will not talk about what happened, so it’s a complete mystery, but they both did manage to pass their psych evals and get reassigned.  Fuji requested and was granted assignment as Comms specialist to Combat/Defense ships and was placed on Seishun, a new ship that Ryuzaki Sumire was working with captain, Tezuka Kunimitsu, to staff.  Saeki, much to everyone’s surprise (and some concern), requested to return to deep space exploration and was placed with Rokkaku by Oji.  Every once in a while, Fuji and Saeki both seem a bit different, scarier, with an odd light in their eye or tilt to their smile, but before anyone can really begin to catch onto it, it disappears behind their usual smiles.

Higa - space pirates

Rikkai Collective - attempting to conquer and expand influence over the known universe.  They have lost their home solar system to their star dying, but colonized many of the ones they have taken over.  Because of this, they are not one alien species, but a blend of many, with some cross-species existing, as well.  Are known to be particularly cruel in battle and conscript all healthy civilians of where they take over into direct military service or the military industrial complex as a whole (i.e.: building ships, arms development, etc)

Fudoumine - battle class Home defense An originally started off here under her brother’s captaincy but transferred to Seishun because they tend to have more time spent traveling outside of the solar system and galaxy and she wanted the chance to grow. Everyone cried when An left.

Further notes 1. Women are a definite minority in the fighter pilot class and female fighter pilots have a tendency to be looked down upon by male peers.  An works, like, 120% harder to prove herself as just as good if not better than any man and is really blazing a path for future female fighter pilots, as well. 2. She and Ryoma don’t get along too well at first because Ryoma’s a cocky snot who will definitely be the best so how is this girl managing to keep up with him???  But they become friends because they both work insanely hard to prove themselves (Ryoma because of his famous father and An because of her gender) and don’t take shit from anybody.  They work really well together as a team once they do become friends, mostly because An is really good at figuring out what Ryoma is trying to do while fighting and can back him up or fill in the gaps. 3. An becomes a definite mentor for the younger members 4. Anytime one comes up to Ryoma for training because they judge An based on her gender not her results as a pilot, Ryoma runs them through the same drill An is running at the time so she can kick their ass at it. 5. Sakuno gets a lot of flack, too, because it’s her grandmother who helped Tezuka put the crew together.  She can be on the quiet side and not one to really stand up for herself, so some of the crew will talk about her like she’s only there because of her grandmother.  When that happens, Sakuno gets angry and hurt and rants to her friend Tomoka when it gets to be too much, but instead of confronting anyone, she just focuses more on her research and is actually an indispensable member of the team.  When Inui’s unsanctioned experiments with alien flora/fauna/minerals/etc get out of control or start causing problems, she’s the only other person with the capacity to figure out what Inui was doing and how to stop the chaos. 6. All Comms personnel are horrible gossips. 7. Tomoka is the second biggest gossip on Seishun and she and Fuji often get together to share watercooler talk. 8. Kawamura enjoys trading culinary tips and tricks and menus with individuals from alien species he meets.  He cooks in his spare time and practices a lot of what he learns to make really interesting fusion dishes that are greatly appreciated. 9. Inui’s similar attempts at nutritional supplements are not near so looked forward to. 10. Earth’s space agency is called ISEF.  Ryuzaki Sumire and Oji are both high up in its management.  The agency takes from all countries with affiliated schooling systems, but the systems are under the control of the country and ISEF only has objectives and educational requirements that have to be met before they will accept students for testing and, upon passing the tests, placement.  Although Ryoma is the same age as the three ensigns on Seishun, he is actually a semi-experienced fighter pilot because the US starts its combat training at an earlier age and, thanks to training from his father, Ryoma was allowed to do a sort of accelerated program due to how advanced he was.

Extras because we ship it 1. Sakuno definitely does not have a crush on the super amazing female fighter pilot, An, who won’t take shit from anyone and stands up for herself, she doesn’t know what you’re talking about.  NO TOMOKA, DON’T SAY THAT!!! 2. An definitely does not have a crush on the cute, quiet and super intelligent female science officer who is really kind and amazing and *sigh*...I mean, what??? 3. Pillar Pair.  It exists.  They have to keep it a secret, though because of the power discrepancy.  Protocol would normally demand they work on separate ships, but then they’d never be able to see each other which is stupid.  Fuji and An are the first to find out about it.  So much teasing occurs.
