#Sada's Office

[sadavang]

Who: @rhianwells Where: Sada's Office When: April 12th, Mid-morning

"I don't know about these, I mean... the colour isn't exactly in my palette, do you think?" Looking at one of the cushions that had come off the sofa in the office she had moved into but hadn't done much to change besides going through the paperwork within, she held it up for Ria to inspect. Her input on such things was exactly why Sada had brought her up here.

"I don't want to you know... erase him," Yes she did. "But... if I'm going to have to work in here, it'd be nice to have some of... me, in it, too, you know? And these are not me. I mean... Tobias had taste at least five decades older than he was. Who has tweed cushions?"

//Sada's Office. Apr 23.

closed starter for @sadavang (@jeremiah-rose mentioned)

She wasn't sure if she noticed when Knox disappeared and then it was just Zuri and a man who introduced himself as Jeremiah Rose. He wasn't too chatty but explained where they were going and what procedures awaited all newcomers; Zuri's questions weren't left unanswered and she returned the favor until her condition made it impossible to give more answers. Hell, she wished she could ask someone and get those answers herself!

They stopped for a blood test and Zuri was instructed to join another man and see their leader named Sada Vang. She was pleasantly surprised to hear that the leader was female but as soon as the door opened and she stepped inside the office she understood why and how that was possible; the first thing she noticed about the other woman was her magnetic, mysterious aura.

Zuri looked at the man whose name she never caught, nodded their thanks and then turned to Sada.

"When will I know the results?"

Who: @jeremiah-rose Where: Sada's Office When: April 20th

This felt so weird, like some kind of interview, but not for a job, and Anora had made it super duper clear that Aspen was to make the best impression on these people as possible to make sure she'd be allowed to stay here. And oh how badly she wanted to stay here. It was like Disneyland compared to where she'd come from, and already she was silently reciting her list of surprisingly developed skills from years of being ushered to one activity to the next in an attempt to give outlet to her unending energy levels.

Gymnastics, Karate hand to hand and bow staff, driving, swimming, figure/roller skating, sailing, cheerleading acrobatics....

All of those thoughts came to halt though when the man who would talk to her finally made her appearance and she found herself godsmacked at his eyes. He looked like a painting or something she saw somewhere, maybe some school trip to the museum or something. Anoras voice rang in her ears though. Best behaviour. Good first impressions.

"Gymnastics, Karate hand to hand and bow staff, driving, swimming, figure/roller skating, sailing, cheerleading acrobatics." The list, seemingly the last most important thing on her mind, all came tumbling from her mouth at once before he or she even got a chance to introduce themselves.

//int. some fancy room in the penthouse - day. 24th april. @jeremiah-rose

Hope pursed her lower lip as her gaze burned into the familiar face now opposite her, "hmmmm, you look familiar.." it was just her thinking out loud, not one to really censor herself, so this was going to be a challenge. But, compared to the one Santi was warning them about, this one at least seemed less.. snide? At least on the surface. Dante seemed to have the pleasure of meeting that lady instead, separating the two for individual meetings immediately once they entered the building and were escorted up here. That decision could be read in multiple ways. Hope instead was meeting a man, familiar but can't put a finger on it.

She shook the thought off with a shrug, realizing the silence from her curious stare, "never mind, I'm Hope, nice to meet you," play nice, make yourself seem useful, Santi's and Dante's words rang as a reminder. She would've extended a handshake but they were busy holding onto her plants and seedling trays, refusing to let those clumsy beef cakes handle them. One wrong move and that's the end of her plant babies. "Friend of Beau Clary, and Valerii Chen. Whatever you need to ask, ask away."

Imma just toss these here for a while to marinate. Doodling and sketching for my adult MFB OC Sadahiko. Sada enjoys dressing up, hence the variety of outfits and look he wears. A little lore recap: Sada's journey is that of struggles. Before being a blader, Sada was an apprentice alongside Ryutaro Fukami at a family theatre till he dropped out due to reasons. In his early 20s, Sadahiko was a Dark Nebula's goon blader, thinking he was doing the right thing. Born with a future vision ability, yet all Sada can unconsciously see is the "bad future", "misfortune", one that he can't never change even how much he tries. This ability heavily affects how he views the world at large and beyblade in general. At an adult age, he is a lesser office member of WBBA and a less-successful undercover agent. Till one day, he was given the task of infiltrate the newly formed BTF-the organization of ex-teenage villain blader in Zero-G, applying for their manager spot. That is when his life slowly take a turn.

[sadavang]

"Of course. She's a very talented girl. Had the world not ended, I could have seen her being very big." Heck, she could be bigger even in this world were it up to Sada, considering how very much Dixie reminded her of herself when she was a much younger woman.

Regarding him closely as he lowered down into one of the purposefully smaller chairs across the desk from her almost throne like leather wingback, it flicked up the corner of her lip as she watched him have to fold himself up a little to fit in the chairs. Somehow, from the posture to the gestures, mixed with the bovine eyes that dominated his face, it all made him look almost childish.

With another long draw off the joint that curled up over a scarlet cupid's bow and along the sharp line of her cheekbone's cliff, Sada regarded him for just a half beat more than was comfortable, enjoying the game of keeping his already nervous energy at notch above comfortable.

"Go on."

as he walks further into her office, beau subtly draws in a deep breath and tries to muster up the same confidence he used to channel when he was going into a press conference or an interview ; he's always been more of a doer than a sayer, better at conveying his feelings through his actions than his words, and he reminds himself to slow down and think before he speaks. this is no place for a clumsy fumble of the tongue.

( he thinks back to how many times his words have been misconstrued in the headlines of sports sections and in clips on espn, takes care to remember to mind his words and choose them carefully. it seems impossible, but he's afraid they hold more weight here than they've ever had. )

when he exhales, there's a smile on his face, just as wide and as warm and sincere as he'd offer to anybody. ❝ oh, no ma'am, ❞ beau insists, shaking his head as he steps further into the room, ❝ i ain't after dixie right now, but if i might say so, it's real kind a' you to extend that offer to her. ❞ his gaze lingers briefly on the joint balanced between her fingertips before he returns it to hers and he nods before taking a seat almost sheepishly. ❝ really, i can't even begin to tell you how much it means t'me to know she's got someone else lookin' out for her. ❞

her question is enough to reignite the nerves he's only just begun to settle and beau lifts a hand to scratch lightly at the back of his neck, his fingers tugging lightly against the curls at his nape. ❝ a, uh ― well, a little bit a' both, ❞ he confesses, ❝ and a request, if y'wouldn't mind hearin' me out on it. ❞

“Woman, life, freedom.” How the women of Iran protest the hijab

(Clodagh Kilcoyne/Reuters)

In September 2022, 22-year-old Mahsa Amini was arrested by morality police in Tehran, Iran, for refusing to wear a hijab. Hijabs have been mandatory in Iran for women since the revolution in 1979, when the Imperial State of Iran was replaced with the Islamic Republic. Only a month after the victory of the revolution, Iran's new head of state, Grand Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, declared: “Sin is not allowed in Islamic Cabinet ministries. Women should not appear naked in the ministries. Women are allowed only with a hijab. There is no obstacle to them working but only if they wear the hijab as prescribed by Islamic law.”

(Aristotle Saris/AP Photo)

The following day, over 15,000 Iranian women celebrated International Women’s Day, gathering in front of the prime minister’s office in Tehran in protest against the mandatory hijab. As of 1983, Parliament has since passed the Islamic Penal Code, which establishes a punishment of “up to 74 lashes for women appearing without Islamic hijab in public.” In 1996, the law was revised and replaced with “physical punishment with incarceration and fines.” 

In the case of Mahsa Amini, her suspicious death in police custody sparked massive outrage across the country, prompting widespread and large-scale protests. Videos were posted and spread online of Iranian women cutting their hair and burning their hijabs, which served as a powerful way to both protest the morality police responsible for Amini’s death and reject the policy of compulsory hijab. Iranians— both men and women, peacefully protested in the streets of Tehran, and in big and small towns across the country, chanting, “Woman, life, freedom.” 

(Safin Hamed/AFP/GI)

While many of these protests have been shut down or lost traction and attention outside of Iran, political activism in the name of women's equality and freedom continues to thrive in different forms. Widely recognized imprisoned female activists continue to leak statements and voice recordings online, describing and criticizing their living conditions in prison and encouraging other activists to keep working. Discussions and online meetings continue to be held in private online forums such as Twitter, Telegram, and WhatsApp. The women of Iran continue to engage in quiet civil disobedience regardless of the risks or consequences.

In 2017, five years before Mahsa Amini's death, a young woman named Vida Movahed climbed and stood on top of a utility box on one of Tehran's busiest streets. She stood, bareheaded—calmly waving her white scarf on a long stick. Her peaceful yet powerful display of defiance went viral, and photos soon circulated of other Iranian women taking off their headscarves in public. These acts of resistance contrast the violent treatment women like Mahsa Amini face at the hands of the Iranian government and police. They serve as an important example and reminder of the power the people can hold.

Who: @knoxlovlth, @survivalxofxthexfittest (Pet), ft. @jeremiah-rose Where: Sada's Office When: April 15th, early evening

"Seems it's been quite the eventful day." Seeing as how their run team had come back with more than just supplies, but new bodies of the living variety. Unlike Tobias Wexley, Sada was less likely to just let anyone into her building besides those that she brought in herself, but that wasn't to be said that she wouldn't let people make a case for themselves.

Sat behind the large desk in the center of the opulent penthouse Office, Sada was comfortable in her space despite the bandaged wound to her face, an almost ever present joint resting comfortably between two fingers as she watched James and Hector lead the new faces in. Jeremiah lounging on the sofa off to the side ready and waiting to jump to her defense at a moments notice. Intimidating, as well, which was always a handy negotiation tool.

"Welcome to The Wexley, please. Take a seat."

[nxmelessfighter]

They head to the produce section, and Ookurikara starts stocking up on vegetables-- green onions, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, spinach, lettuce… Maybe he should get some ginger salad dressing as well.

The aisle for condiments is right next to the produce, and as he scans the options, he gets a text message.

He pulls out his phone and sees it's from Shishiou. What the hell does his coworker want on a Saturday?

[txt from: Shishiou] yooo kuri wanna go for karaoke later today? i invited mitsu too!

Why would he agree to--

Of course that blonde brat went and did that.

Ookurikara decides he's going to think about this later and shoves his phone back in his pocket. He looks up and realizes that Sada is nowhere in his line of sight.

Back to finding the ginger dressing.

"Hmm... I should probably pick up some extra stuff for dinner too," he figures. His pantry is relatively well-stocked, but only because it's so easy for him to grab things after his shift, but he could probably stand to pick up some meat and veggies for dinner.

One might think that returning to one's place of work off-hours would be a drag, but Sada clearly doesn't mind.

"I think we just started a sale on a lot of the produce-- we should check that first just in case anything runs out! I'm gonna buy so many sweet potatoes..."

@insainted | the rat's nest | late april

while sada vang had seemed warm enough in receiving her, there was still the matter of all the documents that she had given away having deemed them not valuable. such judgement was fine, unless the results of it rested on another person's shoulders. scout's shoulders to be exact. so she'd tucked away the knowledge and decided to investigate on her own where the remains of the computer might have been.

despite any trepidation she might have had for visiting the lower floors of the building— the present was all she had. and it would be necessary to see to all the inner workings of the building that the caretaker's office provided them with. the room was dingy, poorly lit, and showed the remains of some of the building's systems and maintenance. and the rest was, well technology.

she knocked once, announcing her presence as she stood at the threshold. "are you graham?"

ISRAEL REALTIME - Connecting to Israel in Realtime

▪️DISTURBING JUSTICE REVELATIONS.. disturbing revelations: Ch. 12 brought evidence of prohibited meetings and secret activity surrounding the appointment of Mandelblit to the position of Attorney General.  The recordings that were revealed paint a difficult picture of manipulations, conflicts of interest, and improper interference in appointment procedures for the most sensitive position in the law enforcement system.  (Movement for Quality Govt.)

.. Revealed: The chairman of the Bar Association put someone on his behalf in the search committee and passed on to Mandelblit the questions that would be asked by the committee. 

.. Revealed: The chairman of the committee, Mandelblit's friend, made sure to talk to the judges of the High Court and make it clear to them that they should reject the petition against Mandelblit's appointment because whoever is appointed in his place will be bad for the system.

.. Revealed: Mandelblit made it clear to the top of the attorney's office what would happen if they were not in his favor, he would be replaced by a candidate who would not align with the system.

▪️US & HAMAS.. A report in the US: the Americans are considering a unilateral deal with Hamas to release the hostages with American citizenship.

The chaos returns to Oya High

Summary:it´s been a year since the Oya High delinquents graduated and spread across S.w.o.r.d and after another fight at the container yard,Fujio decides to bring them all back together for the usual fun,revealing what our favorite delinquents have been up to in the last year.

Pairings:Cobra/Murayama,Fujio/Tsukasa,Todoroki/Shibaman/Tsuji, Amagai/Suzaki,Yasushi/Shidaken

Warnings:Typical Oya stuff,if I overlooked something feel free to tell me that

Authors Note:Enjoy<3

Fujio had the crazy idea after the last fight at the container yard that was involving each S.w.o.r.d.Party.It´s been nearly a year since they all graduated and spread around the city,growing up and creating a life for themselfes,so Fujio wants to throw a party to get them all together again.After seeing the newest Daruma babies go crazy at the last fight it became clear to him how he misses having the former Oya High delinquents together for the usual fun.They celebrate in the early friday afternoon, having a great time as music´s blasting out of the speakers.Nearly everybody and more suprise guest there.Cobra and Murayama returned from their international road trip and joined Fujio and Tsukasa who currently works in Cobra´s gas station,an idea from Murayama,in their usual seats.Fujio sees clearly how Cobra´s now more relaxed and his guard is down.Sannoh Rengokai´s leader changed a lot.

Tsukasa loving the idea of suprising Fujio,his now boyfriend,even contacted Suzaki,eternally grateful that the man saved Fujio back then,fighting Senomon.Knife wound long a scar,healed and fading but out of that sacrifice grew a friendship that teached Suzaki a lot of his own worth.They´re joined by Sachio,now teaching woman self defense courses and even Raoh,who´s normally working a lot as social worker for troubled youth,though managed to clear his schedule for Fujio´s party.Fujio who now is Oya High´s part time leader,trying to live up to the legendary Murayama.He´s working at Harsawa market,in honor for grandma Sada and living with his mother to make life easier for the woman,earning enough so she won´t need to work anymore.

Todoroki´s in his usual seat and even though he technically left Oya High a year ago after graduation,he´s nearly regularrily there,at least for a visit.The crazy part is no one has any idea what he does as a job,only that he´s now filthy rich.“Rich enough to buy Amagai.“Shibaman once explained. He´s seated with Odajima who´s a travel photographer and not necessarily home a lot.He´s regularily joined by Todoroki on his travels to fish though.Shidaken who now works in some shady cocktailbar downtown as barkeeper is seated with them,smoking a cigarette.They´re are speaking to Tsuji and Shibaman that now offically date Todoroki and share a apartment in Sannoh.Mashii who´s leaning back,relaxing,ironically became a loan shark.

Nakagoshi who´s now Dj at a nightclub and Nakaoka,a artist specialized on grafitti and air brushing are being entertained by Jamuo acting his delinquent trivia out dramatically.He´s now working on his on delinquent comics,that sell great with his dramatic flair and he and his girlfriend now got an offer to make the comic a theatre performance in the local theatre.Fujio and Tsukasa already swearing to be in the first row,cheering the loudest,who already watched the dress rehersal and loved it.Uknown to Jamuo,Yasushi sneaked into the theatre that night too,hiding in the last row.

That´s when a commontion downstairs get´s Cobra´s attentíon.A fight breaks out and there´s screaming and even flying furniture,topped by a set of crazy laughter among those fighting.When Murayama joins him near the edge,Cobra´s eyes land on a car that makes him roll his eyes and he groans.Those kinda pimped up,colorful cars are explaining everything Cobra´s gotta know.Daruma.

Now Daruma joins the party.Or at least the newest Daruma babies.“The party´s here you bastards,who wants to fight?!“Yasushi screams as he and Kiyoshi strutt in,cocky as usual.As great suprise followed by Binzo and Magoroku wearing Daruma´s coats.Murayama jumps excited.“Oi!Yasu-Kiyo are the new Daruma babies?!That´s crazy!I love that!I heard some legendary chaos stories about the newest Daruma guys,but nobody wanna tell me that it´s Fujio-kun´s lunatics that wreck havoc with Hyuga now?!“He exclaims dramatically,pointing accusingly towards where Fujio and Tsukasa are seated.

„You we´re on a international road trip.“Tsukasa reminds him with a roll of his eyes.„Rude,Sleepy Lion!That sounds like a crazy party!There are no parties without Oya´s king!“He pouts.„Fujio´s Oya´s new king,old man.“ Nakaoka snorts as Yasushi,Kiyoshi;Binzo and Magoroku throw themselfes onto the nearest couch.„Murayama?You literally joined Sannoh´s Hoodlum Squad yesterday.“Cobra now speaks up.„Yeah totally!Right!That was a great suprise!“He nodds seriously,nearly forgetting that.„You´re my husband,you total idiot.Wouldn´t it be kinda weird if you´re not joining Sannoh Rengokai?“Cobra questions and the other heads snap towards him.

„What?!Murachi!“Fujio screams histerically,eyes growing wide as he eagerly jumps up.Like a young Murayama Cobra thinks.„You´re married?!“Tsukasa and Todoroki choke out shocked,at the same time.„That´s so crazy!“Tsukasa shakes his head in total disbelieve.„Since when?How did that happen?How could that happen?“Todoroki stutters in denial of someone actually being crazy enough to marry Murayama.„You sure you wanna have that whole till death do us part thing with Murayama tho?“Yasushi raises his eyebrow as he turns towards Cobra instead who breaks out laughing.

„How would that idea come into your head anyways?“Shibaman asks.„We we´re in Vegas,a stop in the Route 66,and it was insanly spontanous!That one night after kicking each others ass,a tiny bit of liquor was involved too when Murayama had the idea.I thought,so what´s the worst that could happen,fuck it.Now we´re married.“Cobra explains easily.Ignoring the literally,that Odajima mumbles.„The great question tho is if he told his Sannoh buddies that.“Nakagoshi mentiones.Shibaman barks out a laugh.“Fuck yeah he did!Dan was so happy he nearly cried.“He snorts.„Yo,there where tears tho!“Tsuji points out,laughing.“How would you know that?“Todoroki asks,raising an eyebrow.„I work at Dan´s store.So fuck yeah I know everything.“

„Why did you two fight anyways?“Jamuo asks confused.„Entertainment!“ Fujio chuckles.What Cobra says next nearly makes Fujio choke to death on his soda.„He nearly whored me out!That´s why I kicked this punks ass.“Cobra groans and it´s deadly silent.At least until the new Daruma babies exchange a glare,before nearly scream with laughter.„Yo,you would get hella cash for that one tho!“Shidaken snorts.„Shidaken!“Odajima gasps fake dramatically,hitting him in the shoulder with the paw of his sweater.„Sorry?“Shidaken says confused,as if he´s wrong in that one.„He´s kinda hot.“He tries to at least defend himself.„Your boyfriend´s over here,you total tit!“Magoroku turns towards them.„So what,he ain´t wrong that man is hella fine.“Yasushi rolls his eyes.„Whore.“Shidaken teases and Yasushi barks out a laugh.„I´m a whore,not your whore.We established that one early enough.“Yasushi leans towards them over the backrest with a grin. They get easily distracted from their conversation from Murayama.

„Woah!I had no idea that would happen,so don´t be mean Cobra-chan!“Murayama whines dramatically,trying to defend own his actions.“Now that´s something you had no idea about,did ya?“Odajima snickers,leaning towards a shocked Shibaman and Tsuji.“What on earth did you think that cougar lady wanted to do with me when she gave you a wad of cash?Wanting to leave towards her Motel room with me you dumbass?!“Cobra venomoussly hisses at his husband who rolls his eyes.“I honestly didn´t think that far to be fair!“Murayama raises his hands in defeat.That day Fujio learned that Cobra has a legendary deathglare, especially for his husband.„Now look at this Cobra-chan!“He teases with a smirk as he points towards his ring.“Now I´m your dumbass!Forever!“He screams before breaking out into a manic laugh.„I will Rude Boy my ass of this roof Murayama I swear and I will take you with me!“Cobra threatens.„So many concussions just to go insane,kinda admirable.“Suzaki thinks.„So dramatic.“Binzo chuckles.„I love each and every second here.“Nakaoka snorts.„I knew that we´re gonna need that shit.“Tsuji leans towards Shibaman as they´re meanwhile eating popcorn.

„How about we break up that fight before it breaks up your marrige that early.“Tsukasa offers as peaceful solution.„Yeah,Sleepy Lion is right,don´t be so negative Cobra-chan!Vegas was fun tho!We even met Rocky´s guys that one night in that shady cocktailbar when you said we´re gonna get kidnapped and out kidneys will get stolen there!“Murayama points out and Cobra snorts at the reminder of that night.“What do the White Rascals do in Vegas?“Tsukasa asks and Jamuo eagerly jumps up.“Rocky-san kicked them out years ago!“He explains taking out his trivia notebook.„So what,delinquent trivia?“Tsukasa smirks knowing exactly what´s about to come.„Fuck yeah,you can bet your ass on it!“Fujio eagerly jumps. „Ain´t much to bet then.“Yasushi snorts.„Zip it!“Fujio squeaks to defend his boyfriend.Hinting towards Jamuo to continue.

“Aizawa,Bito,Enari and Shimura were four of Rocky´s loyalest White Rascals,that normally did his dirty work.One example wrecking Sannoh´s Itokan Diner after a missunderstanding with one of Sannoh´s members. When that missunderstanding had been cleared,Rocky even paid the damadge!Not long after fighting the Mighty Warriors on the old container yard tho,Rocky kicked them out after they had troubles,involving them wanting to start a punk band without even playing any kinda instuments!They did leave a position behind that Rocky filled with Heidi, Marco, Lassie and Cosette early on!Rumors say he named them after his favorite childhood chartoon!So Aizawa,Enari,Bito and Shimura dissapeared after being kicked out,at least until Doubt with the help of a prison gang challenged the White Rascals to fight!Bito and Shimura appeared in Nameless Street asking the Rude Boys to help out Rocky in a fight as they got their ass kicked!“Jamuo explains,eagerly jumping and dramatically gesturing along his story,for the great entertainment of the others.„That´s crazy!Why kick them out because of that?!“Nakagoshi gasps.„Nah,why would they come back to save Rocky´s ass is the greater question?!What?I´m petty like that,kick me out swallow some of your silver teeth!I ain´t gonna give a flying fuck on a rolling donut for that.“Yasushi argues.

„So what where they doing in America?!“Fujio asks eagerly.„They´re relativly famous now!Not like crazily,screaming teenage girls,fainting over them famous,but that crazy party all night,sex,drugs and rock n roll,groupies kinda famous and touring!They ain´t even bad!Insane but not bad!“Murayama explains.“That night when we partied was fun!“He grins.They had a lot of liquor that night and let´s just say Cobra get´s a headache just thinking about the nasty hangover afterwards.“Those crazy lunatics can drink like tanks.Hella impressive tho.“Cobra adds loving to think back on his honeymoon as one long party.“Yo,Cobra-chan!We should totally kick each others ass again today at Oya as honeymoon celebration!You kicked my ass here for the first time!Like when you threw me with your legs!That was crazy,hella impressive and kinda turned me on,not gonna lie.“Murayama jumps eagerly at that idea.„So romantic.“ Cobra chuckles.“I buy you flowers afterwards.And bandaids.“Murayama smiles.Fireworks light up in Fujio´s eyes.“Don´t even think about it Fujio.“Sachio shakes his head at him,knowing exactly what goes through Fujio´s head.“C´mon Saichiiii...“He pouts like a kicked puppy.“No fighting S.w.o.r.d. Leaders today.“Raoh clearifies and Fujio sighs defeaded.

„Yo Todoroki!So what?You and you´re fishing buddy,fishing husbands now?“Yasushi asks later on.“Hell nah“Shibaman growls.“He´s taken,you small fry!“Tsuji adds possesivly.„Who are you calling a small fry you bastard?!“Kiyoshi jumps towards Yasushi´s defence.“Great that some things never change huh?“Fujio nudges Tsukasa who just shakes his head,trying to hide his smirk.“What even happened to your ass?Some thugs attacked you with a tattoo gun?!“Shibaman snorts hinting towards the tattoos that cover Yasushi´s arms and neck now.„That´s what I earn my cash with you dick!“Yasushi growls.„The what on earth do I paint those pimp cars for?“Nakaoka pipes up,earning a lot of weird looks.„Daruma.“ Binzo and Magoroku shrugg at the same time.“That´s clear you dumbasses.“Nakaoka rolls his eyes.„Let´s call it supplementary income.“Yasushi explains.„You crazy bastards use them for their car races don´t you?“Todoroki asks.„Exactly.“Kiyoshi nodds.„Let me take a wild stab in the dark here.You steal those cars,don´t you Yasu-Kiyo?“Cobra groans.„Fuck yeah!“Kiyoshi exclaims happily.„Kiyoshi!“The other Daruma babies scream angrily.

„Shut your cake hole!“Yasushi screams,hitting Kiyoshi over the head as he jumps up,ready to fight.“Or what?!“Kiyoshi screams right into Yasushi´s face after jumping up too,facing him.„Or I will kick your ass Kiyoshi!“He screams louder inching closer as if he tries to be threatening,which would work on everyone but never Kiyoshi,who just smirks leaning closer towards him.„Now,what did you say to me when we tried taking over Oya High?Don´t fight when your stomach is like this.“He smirks sugary sweet before punching Yasushi in the gut,who doubles over groaning is pain,loosing all color in his face.Magoroku and Binzo share a grimacing look.Todoroki narrows his eyes as Yasushi looks like he´s gonna vomit.Kiyoshi is howling with laughter.

„Yasushi,you moron,is there any chance you´ve been stabbed recently?“ Todoroki asks pinching the bridge of his nose in annoyance already. Hearing that Fujio violently chokes on his soda as all eyes snap towards them.Yasushi meanwhile caught his breath again,at least enough to swear and insult Kiyoshi creativly,hitting him over the head again.“How often do you wanna bash his head in,instead of answering his question?!“ Murayama asks accusingly.“Until we match!“He growls trying to hit Kiyoshi again who dodges him with ease.Yasushi now takes more drastic messures as he kicks Kiyoshi in the balls who drops towards the ground,earning looks of pity from the other delinquents.„Your dominatrix would charge extra for that you sexually frustaded bastard!“He growls angrily as Raoh has enough of their bickering.With two easy steps he´s within easy reach to literally pick Yasushi up and place him next to Fujio,ignoring the death threats Yasushi grumbles.““That means I can beat the shit out of your stab wound you little rat?!“Kiyoshi asks teasingly.

“So he got stabbed!“Fujio yells jumping out of his seat and heading towards the Daruma babies to hit Kiyoshi over the head.“You´re not giving Kiyoshi brain damadge kid!And you steamed noodle head,leave his stab wound alone!“Cobra says loud and clear,ignoring the other chuckles.“Let´s call it even,now you both got stabbed for probably being total idiots,so leave each other alone.“Tsukasa adds for good mesure.„How bad was it?“Fujio asks.“Relax,it ain´t that bad Hanaoka.“Yasushi says leaning back in his seat not seeing Kiyoshi´s eyes twinkle with the idea of mayhem and sweet revenge.“Liar.“He sing songs.„I´m fucking not!“Yasushi groans.

“No,the knife didn´t hit a atery and you didn´t collapse in shock before the fight was nearly over.You nearly gave Hyuga a heart attack as you dropped like a dead rock!“Kiyoshi exclaims,voice laced with sarcasm.“Hyuga?Worried?That´s crazy!“Murayama states shocked.“He threatened the doctor to either fix Yasushi or he´ll staple the doctors nutsack to the surgery table with his equimpent.“Magoroku chuckles.“How do I as your fucking boyfriend have no idea that you nearly got slaughtered like a pig?!“Shidaken now asks instead.“Oh you wanna play too?Let´s fucking play.“Yasushi barks out a manic laugh.„You want a piece of me Nishikawa?“Shidaken threatens,getting eyed up and down by Yasushi.„Not gonna lie,only one.“He says with a shit eating grin.„You horny bastard.“ Shidaken chuckles as he shakes his head.„You know how normal couples wear matching necklaces or some shit?“Murayama leans towards his husband.„Yeah.Why?“Cobra asks hesitant,fearing the answer.„That´s their couple thing.Matching brain damadge caused by lead pipes!“He laughs and Cobra looks like he´s trying to solve a math problem.„I feel like I don´t tell Tetsu,Chiharu and Dan enough how much I love them,for being not nearly as crazy as Oya.“He nearly whispers towards himself,making a mental note to do that later.

„At least now lead pipes remind me of my crazy ass boyfriend.“Shidaken adds.„Random destruction makes you think of me?“Yasushi questions.„Yeah cause it´s beautiful.“Shidaken shruggs easily.“I´m sick of you love birds right now!“Kiyoshi snaps at them.“Your flirting is nauseauting,I swear I´m gonna vomit all over you.It will be disgusting.Romance is dead now,understood?“Kiyoshi grumbles.“Sexually frustraded bitch.“Shibaman laughs.“We need a distraction,please,my vomits coming up now to.That popcorn will otherwise make a reappearance.“Tsuji chukles.

„Oh!I got a great conversational idea!What´s wrong with you pullin me into that illegal shit you pisshead?!“Nakaoka growls angrily.Distraction means back to the important topic.His possible future in jail because of Yasushi´s criminal hobby´s for adrenaline and entertaining.Insane people like that,at least if you ask Nakaoka probably need to be locked away.„So what?Just tell the pigs you ain´t got any idea what happens with those cars!That´s easy!“Yasushi rolls his eyes.Cobra chuckles shaking his head.„I will explain you punks how that normally needs to go,cause I swear you´re gonna end up in jail or dead.You don´t need to tell anyone,especially not the cops,what illegal shit you´re doing!You gotta ask for a lawyer even if you´re broke as fuck they´re forced to get one.The one scenario where you WILL tell everything is when the paramedics ask what happened or what on earth you took.“He explains in a serious tone,that honestly sounds a lot like a threat.„Speaking from expirience Cobra-chan?“Murayama teases.„Not now Murayama.“Cobra grins.

„C´mon relax as if we´re all legally employed anyways.Murayama for example!Who would hire his crazy ass?!“Yasushi states.„A construction crew,specialized on demolishion.Try again.“ Murayama laughs.“Amagai´s former guard dog.Example 2.“His exclaims triumphantly,turning towards Suzaki.“Yo Suzaki!You dispose of dead bodies for a living now or what?“Yasushi asks.„No?“I could get easily rid of your´s tho...Is exactly what he won´t say,to keep the peace for Fujio´s sake.“So what are you doing then,anything illegal?Don´t dissapoint me I gotta prove my point towards the puberty pensioner!“He whines.„Sorry,I gotta disspoint you on that one.“Yasushi pleads with a whine.„I lead a company of Bodyguards for my boyfriend.Legally.“He explains and Yasushi groans.“You broke up Amagai and replaced him?“Tsukasa snorts,raising an eybrow only to get Fujio´s elbow in the rips.“No?“Suzaki looks at him like he´s the crazy one.Yeah,it´s not like Suzaki dates a total sociopath who´s probably gonna take the knife he nearly killed Fujio with,to carve his name onto Suzaki´s apps to prove ownership.“You could totally do better then that!“Odajima says.„Is he holding you hostage?“Sachio asks concerned.„Okay,don´t be mean guys.“Fujio sighs.“I love to be mean tho-“Tsuji fake whines. “Moving on!“Todoroki decides.

„You´re poking others with needles that´s legal too.“Jamou offers.„Where´s the adrenaline kick in that tho?“Yasushi whines miserably.„You ram needles through body parts or under the skin for thousand times!“Tsukasa argues.„You´re specializing on body modifications that normally involve a knife now.That´s adrenaline enough!I wouldn´t wanna learn that shit,that´s nasty!“Magoroku says dramatically.„You nearly fainted when he explained how he learned to split tongues.“Binzo reminds him with a barked out laugh.„Tongues are not supposed to be split man.“Magoroku whines turning green.„Where do you learn that shit anyways?“Odajima asks.„Hyuga has a buddy that specialized on bodymods.He teached me the normal shit like tattooing or piercing and saw some potential.“Yasushi shruggs.„There are sicker things you can do to your body,than stick needles through it?Oh hell nah!“Nakagoshi shakes his head.„Correction.Yasushi´s doing those sicker things and get´s cash for it.“Tsuji explains with a shit eating grin.“Not helping.“Sachio shakes his head.„You leave Oya and find a crazy guy wielding a scalpel and say fuck yeah let´s learn some sick shit?“Shibaman raises his eyebrow at him.“Exactly.I love that shit.“Nakagoshi turns towards him.

“Are you´re customers all dead now when you whip out scalpels now?!“He raises an eyebrow and easily dodges the soda can Yasushi throws at him.“No!Look at Suzaki!Exept his miserable taste in men,he´s peachy!“Yasushi defends poiting towards the former Senomon student. Suzaki internally reminds himself that Yasushi´s probably stabbed and it would be wrong to kick his ass right now.At least right now.Tsukasa nearly has a heart attack hearing that.His eyes nearly drop out of his head as he thinks he gave himself whiplash to stare at Suzaki.„Don´t you have any fears?!None?Not one fear hidden in that brain of yours?!“He squeaks,the thought of Yasushi going near him with a needle makes him desperate to Rude Boy himself of that roof.„Why would you let him near you with a needle?!“Raoh now asks too.“Oi!Or was that a result of a lost bet or even a crazy dare,involving a looot of liquor?Cause Cobra-chan got some interesting tattoos in palces too..“Murayama starts and get´s hit over the head by Cobra.“Murayama please for the love of everything holy,don´t!“He pleads and his husband barks out a laugh.„Even tho it physically hurts to admit it,he kinda knows what he´s doing with that needles.“Suzaki explains and Fujio laughs offering Tsukasa could get tattooed by him which earned him a death glare.„Oh drop dead.“He groans towards his boyfriend who gasps in fake hurt.„Low blow.“

That´s when they get interrupted by a scream.“Yo bitches,bros and nonbinary hoes!“Cobra won´t even need to turn towards the source.Hyuga.The Daruma babies the only ones not shocked by Hyugas entrance and scream out a greeting towards their leader.“Hyuga!That´s a great suprise!What are you doing here?!“Murayama happily exclaims.“No parties in my city without Daruma!“He shruggs getting seated,putting his legs on the makeshift table.„You´re represented by the newest Daruma babies tho.“Cobra argues.„Oh yeah but I wanna be extra sure cause I heard a tiny birdie tell me Cobra´s here with his husband and I wanted to know who hates themself that much,now I see it crystal clear.“He tells them amused.“You´re so annoying!“Cobra rolls his eyes.„You´re husband is just as annyoing,you know that right?“Hyuga snorts.„If you would give me orgasms like he does I would ignore your annoying habits too.“Cobra teases and Hyuga barks out a laugh.„So that´s why someone would marry Murayama!“Todoroki triumphantly exclaims.Reliefed to finally have found an answer to that nagging question.„Oh there´s the old Cobra!Now I can kick your ass for old times sake!“Hyuga smirks.„The last time we kicked each others ass you bit me bloody!Through my jacket!“ Cobra groans at the memory.That was painful.„Relax!That one nearly died from a stab wound not that long ago and even bleeding to death he was less dramatic then you!“Hyuga rolls his eyes hinting towards Yasushi.„I don´t wanna know what diseases you gave me throug that bite!“Cobra argues.„Don´t be so negative you drama queen!The old Cobra was into that kinky shit.Why aren´t you happy now that you´re married and all that domestic shit?“He winks with a shit eating grin.“Oi!Against popular opinion Cobra-chan can smile.He just does´t wanna!“Murayama defends his husband.“I´m emotionally dead inside.“Cobra says with a grin.

“That’s it… just relax. I’ve got you.” (Yuichi -> Ookurikara) (platonically ofc)

It's always that same nightmare-- of himself in another citadel, suffering at the hands of a cruel saniwa who sees him as a doll to break. 

Except this time instead of those visions terrorizing him in his sleep, Ookurikara finds himself paralyzed as he's standing in Yuichi's office, just returned from a sortie after having to retreat. 

He couldn't let anyone break, especially not Sada, not after he already saw him break-- 

For a few seconds Ookurikara no longer recognizes his surroundings, all he can feel is dread as he wonders what his punishment is going to be this time and how he's supposed to hide it from Mitsutada--

Until Yuichi's voice breaks him out of his spiral.

The uchigatana lets out a breath he didn't realize he was holding in.

He's here, with Yuichi, who isn't going to lash out at him for failing a mission or even for just looking at him wrong; Sada is fine, everyone is fine--

He feels so stupid, getting so worked up over something that isn't even real.

Staff

Here we have the many members of Luxure's staff. Or at least the important ones...

Founder: Lusamine

Lusamine is the founder of Luxure. It was her idea and she designed and had the Aether Paradise build this aritifical region.

After being freed from her own darker mind, Lusamine was finally able to live one again. And that's when she realised how.... Sterile the rest of the world had become. Now being herself when she tried to explore her own..... Desires... She discovered it. That no such adult material existed anymore

Like the world had been regressed as if the world existed only for ten years olds.

And so.... She set up Luxure. For people to go and explore these desires as they want, in a safe environment.

Assistant: Wickie

Wickie is Lusamine's assistant. (And maybe lover? There are definitely rumours about the Tek along the island...) She was the one who got in contact with other regions, to get trainers and more to come and visit.

Funder: Oleana

After the fall of President Rose, Oleane inherited all of his money.

Hence why Lusamine went to her. Because even with the blonde's impressive wealth, she did need assistance to complete the project.

And so Oleana uses the island as some stress relief....

Nurse: Delia

With her son being THE world champion, but still continuing his adventure, Delia needed... Something to do with her life, if she was honest.

So she got work in Luxure, acting as the regions one Pokémon Nurse. As most battles do not get too rough, and having the biggest legion of Chansey's in any region, she has a rather easy job

Ranger: Solana

With the disappearances of both humans and Pokémon in the region, Solana was called in to look into what was going on. In secret, of course

Detective: Anabelle

Sent by the International Police to keep an eye on Luxure, and Lusamine mainly. And now she is looking in to the actions of Team Siren.

Tech Support: Penny

The brilliant young girl was brought in to be tech support for the island. Trusted to keep everything running on an automated cycle with next to no human interaction, giving her plenty of time to herself and to enjoy her life.

Professors

Juniper

Lusamine hired Sonia to be the Region's Pokemon Professor, her job basically being to examine how Pokemon react to this new lewd enviroment.

Sonya

After taking over for her grandmother, Sonia needed to go under an apprenticeship to get the offical qualification

Sada

Sada came of her own free will to Luxure, after finding out about the Gijinkamon phenominon. Finding out that the Gijinka Change aspects seemed to be tied into regional variants, Paradox Pokemon and even Mega Evolution.

Field Researcher: Bianca

Bianca was hired by both Sada and Juniper as a field assistant and training to become an offical Professor like Sonia. She is out on the field to gather detail for both professors, this info luckily being intertwined

Total Muses: 11
