#but I wanna have a few keychain designs too

[jocelynships]

I can’t wait until I have the day off tomorrow. Gonna work on commissions and then I’m gonna look into how much things are gonna cost for the online store. I already have the cost for a button maker saved, and I wanna look into stickers and a few keychain options, then I’m gonna look into art prints but I usually just get those printed out at Walgreens tbh. But if I want nicer ones I might look into it at the site I’m using

[rassicas]

hi guys! im back. i went tokyo for a few days. got back at 7 this morning after taking an overnight 7 hour bus ride.... that i did not sleep on bc i cant sleep in moving vehicles. this will be something closer to a proper blog post i guess. splatoon related convention? experience below

i've kept my mouth shut about my plans to go because its not as well known on the english side of the fanbase and i didnt wanna make people too jealous sorry LOL , but i went to splaket 22! it's an unofficial, splatoon-only doujinshi market/artists alley. this was my first convention-sort-of event ive been to since i was... in high school. i also dont really get to meet many other hardcore splatoon fans irl. i was nervous about it because i don't know a whole lot of people on the JP side nor do i have a lot of confidence in my japanese speaking/listening, but in the end it was SUPER fun. i wish i couldve talked a bit more to the artists i did encounter to comment on what i liked about their works but. Skill Issue very few non-japanese people at this event of course but one of the only english speakers i saw i called out to bc they were wearing a shirt with this exact image printed on it no video and no photos outside of designated areas were allowed so i got like. zero pics of my own. but there was a lot of cosplayers i saw! oh and here's the Loot Haul. a few doujin, a clear file, stickers, microfiber cloth and a keychain. im surprised at how little i got, i think i shouldve gone a bit crazier with it

the one with Tao Blu and oonie in the top left (by sachikazerick) I came across by chance and bought because it was cute, featured splatband characters, and also because it all in some familiar inkling language (the last point of which i told the artist as i was buying) when i finally got home and saw the back credits...

SMALL FUCKIN WORLD LOL (i tweeted at the artist afterwards to let him know i came by the table and to thank him for using me and my friend's inkling language fonts!) though truly, i think ardnin deserved the credit more rather than me since he made most of those fonts! ah well, still cool to see more and more fan works using deciphered inkling language. top middle book is a story with some salmonid characters that i havent read yet but im looking forward to it, the art is lovely. top right one was the first thing i bought. the artist is rk_splaworks, whose art i love, and we've been mutuals for a few years and have talked a bit here and there! i was so fucking nervous to meet them in person since my japanese sucks LMAO but they were happy to meet me too and we got a selfie together yippy <3 also havent read their doujin Yet since ill have to rub all my brain cells together and huddle over the dictionary, but i want their oc lore

ok that's all i'll say, next splaket is...june 22. very soon....im already thinking ill. go again. yknow. while im still in japan and all that. i guess ill have to study harder on my jp in the meantime teehee ...i doubt it, but in the off chance anyone following me is going to the next splaket in june lemme know!

Do u have a character info page for your cult? Because seraph. Seraph is calling me. I searched the tag but nothing came up.

I was working on a Carrd but the site took it offline for some reason lmao — I wanna give Toygouse a try too but I always get lazy when it comes to setting up profiles so I usually put all the info on a Doc online or in Obsidian.

I can give some basic information here without going too much into spoilers. ♡

EDEN ❀( ᓀ ‸ ᓂ )❀

Age: 25

Birthday: January 1st

Occupation: Part-time streamer/Tailor/Cult leader (?)

Biggest lolita fashion fanatic you'll meet, her entire closet is full with the most expensive looking dresses that, fun fact, she made herself.

Rarely streams, but somehow her audience is loyal almost to an obsessive point, not like it bothers her because it benefits the cult itself.

Usually avoids speaking, refers to people by 'Sir', 'Miss', 'Mx', etc. Despite this, she is rather good when it comes to manipulating her way into getting what she needs and wants.

She falls asleep pretty often — even in the oddest moments.

Likes: Desserts, fashion design, novels.

SERAPH (｀ω ´ )📷

Age: 21

Birthday: October 31st

Occupation: Streamer/'Filmmaker'/Cult member

He's Edens' 'right hand' as he likes to declare himself — although he spends most of his time streaming, throwing parties, performing in public, sleeping with fans, crossdressing...

Because of his looks, he can easily pass as a girl when he crossdresses, and because of that he's been on a few dates pretending to be one too. In fact, he's so good at costumes and make-up he can just pretend to be anyone he wants to be.

He's a tad bit obsessed with recording things most of the time, even the most 'insignificant' stuff. He used to be an ex-film student after all.

Has a bunch of piercings on multiple places, and he's pretty much obsessed with them too. ( He actually gave Arc one. )

Likes: Filmmaking, giving piercings, horror games.

ARC ૮₍ ˶ • ‸ • ˶ ₎ა

Age: 23

Birthday: July 5th

Occupation: Tattoo artist/Streamer/Cult member

He's actually the youngest of two siblings although he is the tallest in the family and even in his friend group — well, the cult.

He has streamer some of his tattoo works on live a few times, other streams are usually just to relax, more than once he has received the occasional 'show us your tits' and he's so fucking exhausted already.

It's really obvious, but he absolutely loves bunnies, he has bunny keychains, plushies, posters, pictures, everything — it's a tad bit embarrassing sometimes, but he cannot help it.

The scar on his face was provoked by his ex.

Likes: Bunnies, chain accessories, milkshakes.

CHERUB 𓆩(๑>؂•̀๑)𓆪

Age: 23

Birthday: February 14th

Occupation: Streamer/Cult member

On streams, she tends to offer the 'girlfriend experience' by actively acting like a crush or girlfriend towards her audience. Outside them, she declares she finds men gross but she gives girls a pass. ( She is still bisexual regardless. )

She has an obsession with vampires and her aesthetic mostly consists solely on them — she even owns a collection of vampire series and movies.

Very emotionally explosive, which can be risky to deal with. Has doxxed someone for a petty argument and would do it again.

'Cannibalism as a metaphor for love'.

Likes: Cute-looking people, pigs, vampires.

I'm still working on photographing everything so it won't be ready for at LEAST a few hours, but my shop should have two very small updates tonight and in 2-3 days from now if you wanna keep an eye out for em :] the update was supposed to happen like a month ago when I ordered the supplies for the last preorder batch, but my supplies got mixed up with somebody else's and had to be remade so it's VERY late (which is okay, it was a simple mistake and the manufacturer I work with was very helpful, and the people who had preordered were all very kind and understanding about the mix up which I appreciate so so SO much). The supplies are finally coming in- my order was shipped in two separate boxes, and the first of two just arrived- so tonight you can expect to find a MASSIVE batch of glow-in-the-dark stickers restocked as soon as I'm finished photographing them, and then in a few days the second half of my supplies should be here where I should have more mini stickers, mini holographic prints, button pins, and glitter keychains restocked too! In addition I'm also adding more mystery bag options and restocking my mini temporary tattoos! All of these items will be included in my current sale (25% off my original artwork/designs/crafts, 10% off everything else through March) thank you for the patience with the delayed update and thank you for checking out my shop :]

[bionicboxes]

Other Indigo Park Observations. done in semi-real time as im playing?

a fun little detail is these cameras that follow your movement; its pretty heavily implied this is how Rambley is seeing the player.

these keychains in the Critter Corner are the only place you'll see merch of Salem (i think that is their name?) Interestingly, there aren't any keychains of Rambley left. also this is a small non-important texturing thing but Molly's uses the same texture as her cutout (I assume they all do) which causes it to have the same wear and tear on it. and the same cardboard texturing.

also ive been to a disney park so i can appreciate the format of the entrance mirroring that.

some of the boxes backstage have Indigo Park branding on them and i think thats a fun cute little detail.

also Lloyd has a bronze statue like Rambley's statue with the park owner. interesting.

no screenshot to go with this but i do think its kind of a missed opportunity that Molly doesn't stalk you in the outside 'main street' area at all. she's a bird, have her perched up on one of the buildings! an ominous silhouette, with only the light reflecting off her eyes to tell you she's there. watching. idk.

Also I gotta give the game credit for how annoyingly good they did at stopping me from Hardcore-Parkouring around in places im not supposed to.

i will also thank this game for letting me brute force the puzzle and not having any kind of 'check' for if i actually have gone through the playhouse.

I also wanna say! this game is pretty spooky! i will say i AM a little baby coward, so that helps, but i got tense going through the backstage and playhouse even though i KNOW that there's not an actual threat in either; the sound design is spooky and my brain kept wondering, 'but what if?' so thats very solid. with that said wish me luck on the ACTUAL chase lmao.

Ah. real time update. my game lagged out hard during the start of the chase and I promptly died (which was also pretty lagged out). given that and that my computer's actually starting to run a little hot, I suppose i will save that for a later time. now that the real-time stuff is over its time forrrrr:

Boxes Nitpick compilation!!

dont take this too seriously its basically just me pointing out things i think are a little weird looking but this isn't any real deep criticism of the game. a normal player wouldnt notice this stuff most of the time i only notice this stuff because im actively looking for it:

There's a few places like this where the 'tiling' is super obvious as one texture just cuts off into another one. nothing that serious but its super jarring here in my opinion. There's also a few places like this:

where the floor tiles don't align right (first image) and you can see through them. its a minor thing that really only appears in areas the player won't see unless they're looking around though. there's also a few little clipping errors (second image)

also the dirt texture here works way better than the grass texture used in the beginning area (see first screenshot in nitpick compilation) and they should probably use this instead of that. imo.

i think the trash scattered around the park doesn't really.... work? Rambley makes it apparent no one's been INSIDE the park in years, thats why there's only graffiti on the otuside, so this isn't trash from people breaking in, and from how Rambley described the shut down, it shouldn't just be... scattered lying around like this. Like i said, its nitpicky, but I just don't think this works.

I think Indigo park should be 'clean' but falling apart. There's no real reason for trash to be scattered about in the WAY that it is. papers and food wrappers and drinks, yeah, sure. but the actual trashbags and boxes?? aren't doing it for me. it inherently implies that there was stuff being moved around and then it got interupted, which doesn't really align with how Rambley described the shutdown.

The Railroad ride is just surrounded by solid black texture squares that don't reflect light. I understand WHY they did this, but i think its kind of a missed opportunity to have catwalks and such visible up above. Of course, they didnt do that because this is an indie project without a big budget, so i dont fault them for that, but its something I think would've been neat nonetheless.

they could make the invisible wall that stops you from going back on the train less. Obvious. by just putting a gate here. ive been to disney a lot of rides have that you can just put a little walk through gate.

and lastly, this isnt a nitpick but there's a really tiny Lloyd cutout near the beginning of the backstage area for some reason and i dont know what to do with this knowledge. its not a keychain those are bigger.

anyway. solid lil game, fun lil atmosphere, excited to see where it goes.

Seana's 2023 art highlights

(surprisingly, not a reupload this time!)

January: i drew nothing! we're off to a great start.

February: i drew something! i love Champ even if i haven't drawn anything tf2 related since April. i think it was this piece where i decided to give Champ RED coloring. [link]

also, this is the month i made my second Moldy plush.... i wasn't very happy with this one, though. [link]

March: uhhhh. more of my tf2 ocs but i think those aren't that interesting. just go to my tf2 oc blog @brokenbrainstormbulb if you wanna see them honestly, i have an image limit to keep ffs. that said, this was around the time i got into TC2, so i drew a lot of that kind of stuff... i'm never drawing stuff for it ever again, sorry. [link]

April: look at the cool thing i drew for a fellow tf2 robot fan! now, this is the point in time where i start drawing more because of a certain interest, so look forward to all the art that'll come up here.....

May: wow, this really was my first public piece of Papa Louie art, huh. i was so proud of it when i showed it off on tumblr the first time... i don't like it as much anymore. for one, the office wall color is wrong.... i still can't believe Papa Louie was what got me out of art block, but god, i'm glad it did. i don't think i've drawn this much before, and even though the community's tiny, i'm glad to give back as much as i can. anyways, i said something like "it's so funny that people think they're either super married or divorced as hell" on the same post. i still think that, and it's defos funny as hell, but i've grown a kind of appreciation towards the ship as well. like yeah, you go girls, we love that extra slow burn with so many road bumps on the way! [link]

June: how the hell did i pump this out. this was also like a few days before i had to leave for the airport too... i don't know myself sometimes. i swear i still love Boigashipping! i just... i'm just busy with other ships okkkk [link]

July: i didn't draw anything...? i was in Bali. and i was busy selling adopt designs to draw anything substantial, oopsie! actually, i DID draw the first part of WDB... it's uh, still the only part. i'm sorry!!!! i'm sorry!!!! i swear i have the whole thing outlined!!! can you just give me anons about the story instead so you won't have to wonder what comes next!! [link]

August: TOSI fixation. it had not gone past it's conceptual stage, i must note. i do wish i would do something about it though. [link]

September: the art trade i did with my friend! actually, i was a few weeks late with my part, so it was supposed to be finished by August. oops. i like the textures tbh. my Chuseok drawings.... i need to draw more characters in hanbok, hee hee. [link]

October: (breaths in) ...this is the month i finally gave into the JoGotcha wantings. LOOK. ever since someone put the idea into my brain i couldn't get enough of it, and like,, nobody draws the ship anymore so i had to take matters into my own hands. this is the first ship i'm this obsessed with. i usually leave ship stuff to other people but this time that wasn't enough and i... i had to do SOMETHING, y'know? [link]

Cringetober? who's that? haha;; i stopped feeling like doing the whole list after less than a week. impressive.

November: oh look, Plushy Power League. Quinn didn't win, but i do like the thing i drew as propaganda, so whateves. the first Papa Louie character i ever drew (minus Chuck and Taylor)... did i change how i draw her? uhh. maybe? i'm not too sure. [link]

also look! the keychain drawing... i need to talk about my Gods and Monsters au again at some point. actually, since i last uploaded the image of my keychain, i revised it tons... it's kinda different now, and i defos think it looks better. this is actually the time i finally fixed the stupid display setting thing that was really messing up my coloring! [link 1] [link 2]

December: ...oops! tablet broke. and i got my 3ds back so i just didn't draw that much even after exams were over. didn't stop me from drawing though, and in fact i think i made something pretty neat with my christmas art.... even if it did come one day late. [link]

wow. that's a whole year of stuff... and that's defos a lot! i think i'm really happy with what i drew this year.... i don't know what was in my water the last few years but my art highlights felt really.... miserable? for some reason. i mean, yeah, i didn't do a lot of what i had planned (GOE ANIMATIC IM SORRY) but i can see that i've done just as much with my hands anyways, so like, who cares? plus, i always have next year... that's coming in 3 hours, oh god- so, maybe i won't be too hard on myself for not fulfilling my goals... like, i kinda glossed over it, but i did sell my designs for money, and that's like, really impressive! so many people around me buy and sell their art stuff already, so i guess i didn't really register it as something to be proud of... but doing that shit (making, and marketing) is hard!! so like, it's a wow moment for me!

anyways, i'm tired, i only came back home a few hours ago, and i need to get up again for church in a few hours.... mrphgdjd. lets stop being sentimental, and i'll see you people next year. that's a long way off! hope you don't miss me.

A few questions from a budding merch seller?

I'm trying to work out the viability of selling my art as stickers/tshirts/keychains(?)(other??) at the local markets/smaller artists markets.

(Sigh, minor tangent: I'll be real - doing a kids book was too much for me. Like I don't think making merch is going to be easy, but I do think it plays to my strenthgs more, plus, it seems scaleable. I can start small and experiment.)

So I have a few questions that I'm hoping any experienced merch sellers out there would have time to answer.

Anyone know the legality of selling pokemon/other fan merch? I see it done but I'm like, I don't want to be sued? Not that I think I would sell enough to be on their radar, but still, I'll probably just stick to trying to sell original stuff? But people do be liking their fandoms, so.

Is there a high-quality print-on-demand service around anymore? My medium term plan is to take stickers to the markets. I'm really enjoying being inspired by my local scenery and culture, so people from my hometown are more the target audience. But I mean, people in my hometown still like "cool stuff" so I want to design "cool stuff" to sell online first, and see what does well before committing to getting inventory for markets.

If there's no print on demand and you make your own stickers, how do you know how much inventory to order? Like I don't wanna order 600 of a sticker that won't sell. But I also want to have a market stall that has range.

Lastly, I'm aware my work is not exactly out-of-the-box apparel and merch friendly. I'm experimenting with some things. I think my lines are a bit thin? Need things to read better? IDK how much of that is up to style and how much is just git gud lol. But yeah, any suggestions experienced sticker makers can recommend to make my art more sticker/shirt friendly I'd be all ears.

So yeah, that's a lot. If you pass by and have the time to comment, I'd appreciate any tidbit of info you might want to pass on.

[lifonse]

Apart from my tnc stickers I've been designing ones for the pokespe dexholders and I think I'm gonna use those as test subjects and maybe even make a few keychains just to see what the quality is like/how the process works...... I only have the kanto + johto dexholders rn but I def wanna do the RS (idgaf about emerald) ones as well

here's yellow, blue and silver to get an idea... just doing headshots for them so nothing too crazy but I do like what I have so far! Although red, crys and gold were a pain in the ass because of their stupid ass hats and hair so idk how I'm feeling about them😭 green not pictured but I like his a lot too. thought he was gonna be a pain in the ass cause his hair is also dumb but I managed to make it work without much of a struggle

[thefloatingwriter]

HI DAYNE as my designated hq mutual i wanna show you these things i got bc i’ve been obsessing over them for weeks lol

[monsterfloofs]

makin'... 💫 keychains 💫

I decided to use acylic blanks for these and are a lot cheaper and easier to produce than using shrink plastic, while I do miss the kiss cut look I think these don't look too bad!

They don't have any added resin to them and are without glitter, but that may change if I wanna get fancy!

The purple set is two sided! Which gives this really cool shadow effect. The holographic is only one sided because the back is white, but I was thinking about doing something tricky with them to put black vinyl on the back to make it look inverse. =//>

and here are most of the sample designs I have done. I have a few others hanging around somewhere, I will update this when I find them (*꒦ິ꒳꒦ີ)

[malaky-nightm4r3]

Nearly done designing all the keychains, just the dog to go!

And Ive begun colouring the Dream v Nightmare + Killer drawing too

Its all coming together!! And I already have a few people like some teachers, other adults, and "the person I know through my cousin" type of people who wanna buy them! Maybe I'll even end up being shared through facebook mom groups /lh /j

Fact is its mostly people over 30 who wanna buy em but hey! At least someone wants them <3

[merry-the-cookie]

SO UH

GUESS WHOS MAKING SOME STUFF.....

more details under the cut and also a little bonus im sure everyone will appreciate but yEAH IM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS DFHJDFG

SO...

ive been working on this for a lil while now and this first design is done :’)!! with maybe a couple touch ups depending on how the mockup turns out, couple details to work out still etc etc BUT

depending on how interested people are, i’d love to make some actual goodies :’) i have a few other designs in progress, while this would be a keychain i do have some phone charms ideas and maybe stickers and/or buttons..

i dont wanna get too ahead of myself cus iv only done merch like once before and it went not very good gfhjGHJDGF but. yeah idk i just hope you like these and let me know if this is something you’d actually want to put in your pockets eheheh <3

and bonus for those who might be wondering. this is what it looks like from the back. press F for lukes legs

[spacekateyes]

In celebration of S3 coming, I thought it'd be a good time to make some new cute drawings of the kiddos and merch if you guys are interested!! ;u; (serirei merch to come!)

I wanna maybe make these into keychains or stickers or a sticker sheet depending on what you guys have the most interest in! I'll make a proper post talking about pre-orders if its something that you guys want! I'd want a few pre-orders to help me actually pay for the test pieces and to know how many to order so! Yeah! Let me know! I'm gonna make a serirei design too!

I haven't drawn the kids in the series so I thought it'd be cute to do a drink based thing! (Sorry that it's not the most original heh) but yeah! Please let me know if you'd be interested in buying a keychain or sticker if I got them made! 💖

[maleyanderecafe]

You don't need to publish this! I just wanted to share ideas for merch that you could sell for this blog that I'd personally be interested in - first of all, I think... pins, stickers, keychains, prints and shirts would be the best sellers for this type of particular blog - if you were able to get an artist to draw out original yanderes for each main merch type? Or the most popular, well known male yanderes (IF that's legal)...! I just don't know the laws regarding selling original artwork of already existing characters, haha, sorry!

Cheers, mate, I wish you luck regardless! It sounds like a wonderful idea, in my opinion... if you're able to do so in any way, that is! Perhaps you could get started with just a few, at first, to test the waters! Even if my advice isn't the best or uhhh........ y'know, At All useful lolololol - I hope it goes well <:!!!!

Whoa, those are some good ideas. I've been trying to do research on what I should do (I'm watching so many youtube videos on it), but here are my thoughts on it.

I was thinking about something like Pins, stickers, and maybe charms (I always wanted to make charms) before I move on to other things like prints and shirts. This is just because I don't wanna make too many things and have them not sell because that would suck with me having like 50ish unsold items or something. Maybe I'll start out with like 25, I'm not sure yet.

As for the art, I actually was going to draw it myself (since I am also an artist, but uh I guess you have to gauge yourself how good I am at it, haha) but the idea of collaborating with others yandere artists is pretty good. I'm not sure how I'd go about designing an OC for each one (when it comes to OCs I uh, draw very basically in terms of character designs, since I like practical outfits more generally). I was just going to fall back on my mascot Beta for that one but unfortunately, I'm not the best at drawing like a... sexy style? (Like I can draw in a more anime style, but I've been defaulting to more of my cartoony/ cute style... I guess) .

Popular yanderes would be cool! I think generally for artists you can technically sell anything as long as it's in your art style, but obviously, there can also be copyright laws in place for some things. I think the general rule of thumb is that you don't steal or interfere with money from the source (like for instance you can draw things from TV or games because they get their revenue from merchandise and selling games but probably not like someone else's OC unless they're okay with it)

What I'm thinking now is to just make a couple of sticker designs and maybe pins with my OC on them and maybe not make too many copies of it. Just to test the waters. I don't really know what to do in terms of what the design should look like yet (okay, well I do have some ideas, I just don't know how good they are).

Anyways, that will probably be after my vacation, so I will do my best!

Autumn Troupe plays Laser Tag (Long Post)

-This is all happening because Sakyo won some tickets in a giveaway, he was gonna use the tickets as a form of reward for good behavior, but Autumn troupe and the director convinced him to use the 'practice'  since they use fake guns in their plays.

-When they arrived Sakyo already regrets this decision, the screaming children and the bright neon lights are bad for the oldman. Doesn’t help that the floors are all sticky for candy and soda.

-The rest of the Autumn are loving it though. Juza and Taichi’s run off to the snack stand for hotdogs and an extra large slushy. Banri and Azami are in line for an arcade cabinet, the former taunting and jeering at the players in front of them. Omi actually stuck close by and is talking about doing a photoshoot under all theses cool lights.

-”OI! You brats get your asses back here! We’re here for one thing and one thing only. Laser Tag.”

Omi chuckled at how serious Sakyo sounded. “I’ve never heard someone talk about Laser-tag so seriously.”

“Fushimi you’re not helping, Nanao and Hyodo hurry up and finish that food so we can go in.”

“If Hyodo gets a snack I want one too!” Banri. “I packed some oranges in the ca-” “Fushimi.”

*Gasp* “How’d you know?! Have you seen any of our plays?! Are you a fan?!” Taichi barked. “Ya’know....” Banri slid in “For a few....I don’t know like a hundred? game tokens, we could give you our autographs, maybe even a picture with yours truly?”

-”Hello! And Welcome to the DANGER ZONE” the Autumn troupe are approached by an employee, “You must be Mankai Theater’s Autumn Troupe.”

“No....I’ve never seen your shows...” The Employee said “That’s the name I put down when booking the appointment you dumbasses.” Sakyo Spoke up.

“Whadaya mean you haven’t seen an-”

“Anyway! Here’s some rules you need to know before entering: Hold Laser With Both Hands. Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah. NO PHYSICAL CONTACT. Players must be careful when maneuvering around interior arena walls. Blah, Blah, Blah, And Have FUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNN!”

- The Autumn troupe got geared up. “Alright while we’re in here it’s every man for themselves. No crying in Laser-Tag got it?” Banri declared. “And don’t even think about ganging up on me, I’ve dealt with hoards with hundreds of enemies.”

“This ain’t one of your video games Settsu.” Juza spoke up. “Wanna say that again blue mouth?” Banri taunted. Juza only glared at him. “That’s what I thought.”

-”You’ll have thirty seconds to run and take cover, after that you’ve entered the Danger Zone! Points will be tallied at the end and we will declare a winner. Your thirty seconds...begin.....Now!”

-”Tsk, you act all grown up Izumida, but you’re still clinging to me for protection.” ”Shut it old man, make yourself useful and be my meat shield.” “Your mea-?!” Sakyo looks down and notices something squishy in his hand. “Is this a diaper?!? Ugh! This place is hell!!”  “Great. Your cheap-ass can save it for when we send you to a nursing home.” “Boy-”

- The Autumn troupe all took off in different directions, Juza, Omi, and Taichi ended up together, Banri went off on his own, and Sakyo and Azami went in the same direction. “You may begin firing!"

-On Juza, Omi, and Taichi’s side of things, they’ve sort of banded together. Juza is on a blue raspberry fueled mission to shoot Banri in his god damned face. Taichi’s having the time of his life, "Pew! Pew! Pew! HA! I GOT SAKYO!”  Omi’s having some difficulty hiding since all the covers aren’t really designed for people his size, but he’s doing his best as a spotter. “Juza! Azami’s coming up on your left!”

-”30 seconds left!”  If you thought this was a battlefield already well now it’s a warzone. Nobody cares about taking cover for themselves, everyone’s just shooting at each other. There’s no such thing as troupe mates in the Danger Zone.

-Banri is maneuvering like a frickin’ pro. Ducking and rolling, practically sniping his troupe mates. “Haha! I told I was gonna school all of you N00BZ! GG EASY PEEZY.” “It’d be great if you would put this much effort into being a leader Settsu!” Sakyo yelled. “G.G. EASY!” 

-”10.9.8.7.6.5.4.3.2.1! Please put your Lasers down and make your way to the exit you entered in so, we can announce our champion!”

- The Autumn Troupe, Exhausted, made their way to the exit. “What a shootout! You all did great but there can only be one winner! Here are the final results! Omi- 29 Points! Azami- 32 Points! Juza-48 Points! Banri-52 Points! and Finally Sakyo! with a whopping 58 Points!” 

“WHATT SAKYO??!!” “The hell?!” “Hmph, ‘grats.” “Congrats Sakyo! Didn’t know you had it in you!” “This is a load of bullshit! I got way more shots than that old man, this game is rigged.” 

“It should be obvious why I won, I have more experience than all of you. So G-” 

“Don’t. I’ll never be able to live this down.”

“Congratulations Mr.Furuchi, as our big winner you win a very special prize! A photoshoot! and a Keychain charm to commemorate the win. Would you like to be the savior? Or the Destroyer of worlds?”

-Sakyo sighs really considering the option to just leave and never comeback or get his money worth out. He chooses the latter, he gets his shitty little keychain and takes a photo shoot with the Autumn troupe as the “Savior of Earth.”
