Poltergeist Chapter 14

The Neverland of Grudges Ch 6

Arashi: Hold on a minute. Is everything alright? You didn’t do anything terrible to the children, did you?

Scenario Writer: Akira Season: Winter Characters: Mikejima Madara, Narukami Arashi

< The next day, in the morning. In a graveyard located in the same mountains as Dancing Cranes Home. >

Arashi: … … … …

Madara: HE~EYYY, ARASHI-SA~N!!

HAHAHA! How unexpectedly bizarre! I never imagined I’d be running into you in a place like this. This isn’t exactly the season to be visiting graves, is it? 

Arashi: … … Seriously? That’s my line~. You have the look of someone who definitely does not believe in the afterlife. You aren’t here to bow your head in pious prayer to Buddha, are you? 

Madara: Of course not. If there’s no such thing as God, then there’s no Heaven or Hell eitherrr. 

When you die, everything ends there―into nothingness. 

Arashi: There are exceptions, aren’t there? Or rather―even if you don’t believe it, Mama―Anzu-chan does, more or less, doesn’t she? 

That’s why she is still chasing after the shadow of “that child” to this very day.

Madara: Hoho~? Have you already solved the mystery, Arashi-san? Oh maaan, I thought I would be the first to figure it out. 

Arashi: Setting aside Aoba-senpai, I think Natsume-chan already knows what’s going on here as well.

That would explain why he chose Dancing Cranes Home as the setting this time, even though it’s chock full of unruly brats and thoroughly unsuitable for the staging of any heart-warming family drama.

The job this time seems to be more like a side-line, and the primary objective for us to be working as staff here is so that we can infiltrate Dancing Cranes Home―

Well, no―So that we can uncover and shed light on one of its mysteries this way. 

Madara: Just like undercover detectives.

Arashi: Exactly… … Speaking of which, how much have you figured out, Mama? Or rather, how much do you know?

Madara: Mm~, I only have a rough grasp of the situation myself, but—

After spending a whooole lot of time yesterday and today, playing with the kids in my Kaijuu group, I was able to completely drill into them the concept of “pecking order”—

And as a result, I was able to gently coax lots of information out of them. Thanks to that, most of my questions have been answered. 

Arashi: Hold on a minute. Is everything alright? You didn’t do anything terrible to the children, did you?

Madara: Of course not. I’m the son of a police officer after aaall, so I know how to stay within the limits of the law. 

Arashi: It’s not the law I’m concerned about, but the morality of your actions. If you’ve done anything to leave the shadow of any trauma on these children’s hearts, just know that I will never forgive you. 

Madara: HAHAHA! What’s with thaaat? Are you already thinking of yourself as their guardian even though you’ve been working at Dancing Cranes Home for only three days?

Arashi: Hmph. I’m very aware I don’t have the right to be putting on this kind of attitude on so many levels—

Arashi: But, do you know? That, even if the time we spent together was fleeting, and we’re complete strangers in the eyes of the law—if we’ve managed to communicate on a soul-to-soul level, we’d have forged a bond deeper than that of family.

Yesterday, I bowed my head and apologised to the children in my Rafflesia Group, saying, “I’m so, so sorry for making you cry”—and so on.

I meant those apologies sincerely, with all my heart. And you know what? Those kids of mine told me, “There’s no need for apologies at all. It wasn’t your fault, Arashi-sensei”—

Then they opened up a little and shared the grief they hid inside with me.

Madara: Hmmm. Grief, huh? For the kids in my group, it was rage. 

Whichever it is, they’re both negative emotions the “evil things” (1) are so fond of… … However, the situation here isn’t caused by the “evil things” or anything related to the occult. It’s caused by a graphically violent event that took place in reality. 

Arashi: Indeed… … It seems there was a terrible accident here at Dancing Cranes Home a few years back. 

Madara: That’s right. A reeeally catastrophic fire took place here. All the facilities in Dancing Cranes Home were completely burned down to a sorry pile of ashes and charred timber, so they say. 

According to the records, there were no casualties, however—

The remains of the burnt building still remain uncleared to this very day. They’ve been piled like garbage instead, along the mountain roads on the way here, and on the grounds of the new Dancing Cranes Home. 

Arashi: Ah, about that, it isn’t that no one has tried to remove the debris—it’s because they couldn’t remove the debris even if they wanted to~.

The girls I’m looking after told me that whenever hired workers came to remove the stuff, the stupid boys would always get in the way.

If the men were to try and load the remains of the burnt-down building onto their trucks to be taken away, the boys would either cause the engines to break down, or the tires to blowout.

Madara: Oh wow, seriously? The kids at Dancing Cranes Home are reeeally into acting like ghosts from horror movies, aren’t they?

Damaging all the modes of transportation to leave the characters stranded and trapped is a classic trope used to stir up fear.

Arashi: Mama, it feels like you’ve been referencing lots of movies and manga lately, haven’t you?

Madara: Well, it’s just that before Double Face was formed—and even after its formation, I should say—I was practically out of work. That’s why I’ve had an aggravating amount of free time on my hands.

Because of that, I’ve gotten reeeally good at killing time, and I’ve acquired lots of knowledge about various forms of entertainment while I was at it, too.

Arashi: Sigh. It’s a tragedy to be sidelined in work, isn’t it? I almost wish we at Knights could share some of our busyness as one of ES's Big 3 with you.

Madara: Hahaha. That’s the tricky thing about being in the idol business, isn’t it? It’s nigh impossible to simply hand off the work you’ve received to someone else.

Basically, the only ones who can complete the work are the ones who were commissioned to do it. 

Arashi: Exactly. We’re the only ones who can do the work we do. 

Conflicts arise whenever new members join, because of that very reason, mostly—they’re unable to integrate with the idol side, nor gain any acceptance in the eyes of the fans.

Chapter 13 / Chapter 15

Translator’s Notes: 

Madara says『悪いもの』 (warui mono) or “evil things” here, which is the same way he refers to the so-called menace which fell out of the sky the Shinkai religion was supposed to keep in check.

This hasn't been proofed, so if there's any feedback, please DM me.

Some not so serious doodles about the idea where Silco survived and Warwrick!Vander found him. I did these as fanservice for ME! Especially the clothes thing

(have fun trying to figure out the reading order of the third sketch dump)

Once more, have a prompt entirely in memes because I'm too lazy to properly write one right now lol.

One of the funniest parts about the whole “Leo not giving Draxum any grace” idea is that Draxum is one of the ONLY notable older men in the show that Leo isn’t willing to give a proper second chance to OR really hear out in the first place.

No seriously it’s genuinely a Thing.

Leshy is a chaotic problem child that messes with his siblings and no you cannot change my mind on that

(Except for Shamura cuz he knows he’ll get caught and scolded by them)

Narinder hates whenever he’s pranked, but would jump at the chance of helping Leshy prank anyone else

Hiccup was a runt, the most awkward, frailest guy around. He was created with the intent of being someone who's different from everyone else; both in his design and story. Someone who's weak around people who value strenght, someone who befriends dragons while others want to kill them. Hiccup makes up for his physical weakness with compassion and trying to bring peace to both sides.

Which is why in his every iteration after the first movie (+ ROB); Hiccup is a 6'1, modern beauty standart who can easily beat everyone in combat no matter how more build or/and experienced they are, unless the writers decide they need to higher the stakes, or they have other characters fight the enemy for him.

A fanart for chapter 2 of "The King of Beltane" by @crkfaeau !!

Prompt 301

Ellie, during one of her stints of what do I do with my life right now, decides to, with the help of her Original Dad-Person (Look he’s aging and she’s not and it gets less questions the older he gets if he says daughter instead of sister with how the Fentons are getting older too) creates a Boo-Tube channel. No, not a Youtube channel, those are stuck to a single dimension.

Bootube on the other hand? Due to being through the Realms (and wow is Tucker getting so much income from creating it) is interdimensional. Which is so cool honestly. And she doesn’t know what to do at first, and honestly there’s already so many travel blogs that she kind of just… decided to do something that she wished someone had done for her and her brothers and Danny when she was new to the world. 

So she creates the channel CAAW: Clone Awareness, Accommodations, and Welfare. They had to learn things through trial and error, but maybe she can help someone out there learn how to find their own selves, or even help someone not melt.

After a memory-recovered Darkrai decides that 'Third time's the charm' to create his dystopian future, he finds himself defeated yet again.

Bound by shackles and forcefully hidden in the depths of zero isle east's dungeon, his only company is the totodile who agreed to seal him away in the first place.

As the human visits frequently, clinging onto hope to change Darkrai's mindset, her friends beg her to stop. To leave him to the darkness he chose.

She cannot bring herself to look away.

We should talk more about the fact Jason got swarmed and attacked by a mob as Robin, like??? Hello. He had to be left there because the mob was too violent with Batman near. He had to be taken to the hospital.

Look at those injuries!!

The next time we see him he's forcing himself out of bed and putting on the Robin costume thinking "I've gotta do what I can to help, even if it kills me!"

The next next time we see him he has walked into yet another violent mob

I cannot stop thinking about this story and the effects it probably had on him honestly. Do you think it's made him nervous in crowds, do you think it made him trust others just that bit less. How long do you think he was being attacked before he was found, the scene had cleared. "I've gotta do what I can to help, even if it kills me!",,,,

Just the concept itself! I don't know about you guys but being attacked and grabbed and trampled into unconsciousness sounds absolutely terrifying! Did he black out, still getting hit, thinking he was going to die? Knowing he couldn't defend himself as his injuries to took their toll? At their complete mercy?
