#hojo kanon

[aoyama-division]

It was soon to be the afternoon on this perfect, beautiful day. Of course, it was perfect. Tomi would expect nothing else on his birthday. Tomi had just come back to his estate after another gala was thrown in his honor. Truthfully, Tomi would rather be elsewhere than deal with those fake smiles and pathetic attempts to cozy up to him. Sadly, duty calls as a member of the esteemed Chōten family. His parents would expect nothing less than perfection.

Tomi opened the door to his recently cleaned room. His goal was to get ready before he could go visit a certain C.E.O. for dinner. However, sitting elegantly right on his bed was a decently sized emerald colored chest. If Tomi was into those plebeian things, he would say it looked like it came straight out of a fantasy RPG.

Once again, it seemed like Tomi had received a gift from an unknown person. While Tomi was now cautious about opening gifts from unknown people, this surely couldn't be worse than the "present" from that so-called She-Devil of Shinagawa. Could it?

However, just before Tomi could pick the gift up, it sprung open. Landing on his ass Tomi was about to curse when the words died in his throat as he saw what came out of the chest.

Oozing out of the chest was a black slime. Tomi could only watch in horror as it continued to come out of the chest before plopping onto his bedroom floor. Slowly crawling towards him, the slime contorted twisting in front of Tomi into what he could only call a nightmare.

The creature, if that's what Tomi could call it, was now "standing" in front of him. Multiple eyes began popping out of the creature's body. Each one rapidly blinking and looking around the room before they all squarely landed on Tomi. The black goo then smiled, revealing to his terror human teeth. Then, opening its mouth as far as it could showed its long serpent-like tongue.

Just as Tomi was about to scream for help, the creature gave his face a horrifically disgusting lick. It even managed to stick part of its tongue inside his ear. Leaving a trail of saliva all over his face.

Once again, Tomi was about to scream for help when he realized he couldn't. Tomi couldn't move his mouth, let alone his arms and legs in an attempt to escape the creature.

The creature now knowing Tomi was immobilized opened its mouth and began to sing?

H̷̡͖̑͝a̵̮̫̯͆͗͗ṕ̸͈̟̟͙̓̋p̵̣͛y̴̨̼͑ ̵̗̮̭̮͂B̷̡̤̤̝̽̄̋i̵̤̪̲̎̐͂͝ͅr̶͚͚̟̹̎t̴̺̉̍̾̇ḥ̸͕͋̿͌̌d̴̨̟̍͑̏̍â̸̡͍̾͘y̶͕̐͗̎͑ ̶͎̙͙͗̐͘̕ţ̶̙̞̇̌͋o̷̪͔͈͑̆͝ ̸̣̗̹́Ẏ̵̧̨̨̭ö̴̢̙́ų̶̮̲͊͂̎̕

Tomi could only watch as the creature began to sing Happy Birthday to him. Its voice is high-pitched, sounding like a mix of glass being broken and nails on a chalkboard.

It was then that Tomi noticed a toxic green glow coming from inside the creature. Once again, to Tomi's horror, he watched the black slime twist and expand; the light meanwhile became stronger the longer the creature continued to sing.

Just as the creature reached the crescendo of the song, it froze. The toxic green glow was now extremely strong, making Tomi go blind due to how strong it was. Then, before Tomi knew it, the creature exploded.

BOOM!

Tomi was sent flying before he hit the wall of his bedroom. Groaning, Tomi tried to steady himself before he looked around. His room was once again covered in slime. However, this time was worse. A putrid smell was now in the room, and it had Tomi gagging at how bad it was. It would take months for the stains and smell to disappear completely even if Tomi hired the best cleaners in the world to fix his room. Dumbfounded, Tomi could only just stare at his room.

In Shizuoka Division…

"I know those looks on your faces. What did you two do?"

"Why nothing, Sakura. Can't a girl just be happy?"

"It's that pathetic rich male from Aoyama's birthday."

"I repeat myself. What did you two do?"

"Just sent him a…little gift."

"He's currently dealing with an experiment of mine. Don't worry. It's sadly not going to kill him. Just give him psychological trauma."

"I still say we should've gone with maiming him at least."

"You know what? I'm too sober to deal with this right now."

About half an hour later, Tomi was once again sitting inside his private bathtub (which thankfully had been cleaned from the earlier mess) furiously scrubbing his skin to erase the horrid smell that that wretched creature had gotten onto him. His servants were, once again, busy cleaning his bedroom, though they had to be equipped with gas masks and safety equipment since it was unknown if that slime was poisonous or not. From the looks of it, however, it seems that his room wouldn't be fumigated or cleaned by tonight, which meant that he was probably going to have to sleep in a guest room.

He continued scrubbing his skin, which was in danger of turning red and peeling until he looked as butler, Hino, walked in.

"Young Master," Hino said, bowing to him.

"Hino, unless you found a way to get this horrid, putrid smell from emanating off of my body, I am not in the mood," Tomi said, very peeved and very upset.

"I have some of the servants going to buy more powders and chemicals, Young Master," Hino explained. "Hopefully, those will be able to help you."

"Good," Tomi said, still scrubbing himself down.

"Also, we have managed to ascertain just where that despicable gift and creature came from."

"Where?" Tomi asked, actually pausing his scrubbing to look at his head butler.

"We aren't 100% sure, but we believe that it was sent somewhere from Shizuoka, Young Master."

At the name of the city, Tomi's eyes grew wide before lowering with a dangerous glint. Only one person in Shizuoka would have been responsible for something like this; a certain woman that he detested, and he knew the feeling was mutual.

"Hino-san," Tomi spoke.

"Yes, Young Master?" Hino answered, bowing once more.

"Do you still have the contact information on that computer specialist group we hired a while back?"

"You mean... Humanity+, Young Master?"

"Get me in touch with them. I have a job for them."

"At once, sir."

Several weeks later in Shizuoka...

"What the hell is this?!"

That was the first thing Reika Aichi had uttered as she checked her bank account to find that not only was she dangerously close to being in the red, but all of her backup accounts were in the same predicament. Apparently, she, or someone else, had signed up for an anonymous mailing list that had completely depleted her savings account.

What was the mailing list called exactly? Well...

As Reika was still processing what was happening, she heard the doorbell to her house ring, which did not help her mood any. Growling, she was prepared to give whoever was on the other side just a taste of her fury. Opening the front door with abandon, she stopped as she found herself staring at a crowd full of middle-aged men wearing nothing but a G-string and a pair of shoes. What really made the scene disturbing is the fact that all of them were holding onto... well, this.

...Yes, Reika Aichi, the socialite of Shizuoka, was now a proud member of Japan's very own club, which was called...

BIG 🐔 Anonymous.

It's true what they say: 'Payback is certainly a you-know-what.'

Keiko's Thoughts on Shizuoka Division

Hojo Kanon

Keiko frowns at the photo of the deranged Chuohku scientist. "I don't know who this woman is exactly, but according to Nemu-san, she used to serve Chuohku, but an accident involving the Hypnosis Microphone did something to her. Before long, she was involved in several disappearances with some of the staff here. It's a shame she escaped, but Otome-sama and Ichijiku-san have made her a top priority to bring her back to them, dead or alive. I'll try not to kill her, but I'll gladly bring her back to them. Women like her don't deserve to do what they do and still be around."

Aichi Reika

Like the woman before her, the manga artist frowns deeply at the photo of the disgraced socialite. "This woman may be the woman whom I despise most out of this team. I don't necessarily agree with the rich, but having this woman expelled from Aoyama may have the best thing they could have done. I mean really, how has the police not caught this woman by now? It's quite obvious she's a dirty wench who only marries men for their money, and then kills them. She's a disgrace to women everywhere, and gives us all a bad name! I suppose its no surprise that she's on good terms with my mother. Between the two of them, I have trouble figuring out who I despise more..."

Kito Sakura

"Argh, another Yakuza member? It's bad enough we have to deal with Samatoki and his horrible Katen family. Dealing with this woman and her Kito-gumi is the last thing Chuohku needs to deal with right now. It's a shame that Nemu-san is so busy with her work. If she weren't, I'd have requested that we'd go to Shizuoka and eliminate this woman and the rest of her lackeys. Oh well, maybe someday..."

Silent Tragedy

"I am very glad that Otome-sama and Ichijiku-san put a red flag on this team. It's unknown how they acquired Hypnosis Mics, but the two of them have ordered that this team be eliminated before they can infiltrate the D.R.B., which I have no issue with! I'm going to enjoy hurting all three of them, especially that 'Belladonna' wench! Anyone, be they man or woman, who does what she does, deserves the highest punishment possible!"

Kyokos thoughts on Shizuoka division

Kanon Hojo

“She looks dangerous! Granted from what Mari says about her…she is dangerous!” Kyoko blinks “I wonder what made her into what she is today…she must have been hurt pretty badly”

Reika Aichi

“Aichi-san is a very pretty woman” Kyoko smiles “I hear…she lost quite a few husbands to some unfortunate circumstances”

Her eyes darken “They probably deserved to die…maybe they were scum” she mutters

Her tone quickly changes back to a happy one

“I dunno much about her though! She’s more than welcome at the shrine if she wants to visit”

Sakura Kito

“I like her! She stops by Mari’s shop a lot!” Kyoko grins “Also…she kinda helped out Rinko back when something really bad happened in Shizuoka”

“Rinko and I got separated, I was worried about her being alone because of what happened last time…she tends to get scared real easily” she explains “Next thing you know, I’m in the hospital telling Rinko about how this weird dude knocked her out and this woman stepped in to help her”

Silent Tragedy

“I like to think we could be on alright terms with this division!” Kyoko leans back in her chair “Mari seems to like talking to Sakura and Reika so that’s a plus!”

Sanyu's Thoughts on Shizuoka Division

Hojo Kanon

Sanyu visibly shakes at the photo of the former Chuohku scientist. "This woman... she reminds me so much of that scientist from... Shinagawa. That automatically makes me not like her..." Sanyu feels a buzzing in her head and clenches her head before getting up and leaving.

Aichi Reika

"...So... this woman has apparently been married five times? ...Damn. Most people these days only have one spouse to upset. ...But still, it's kind of obvious she's responsible for her husbands' deaths. I mean, the fact that's rolling in dough should be a big clue. ...But hey, it's none of my business. She can do whatever she wants."

Kito Sakura

"I've never met this woman, but I have heard about her back when I was doing small jobs for the Katen family in Yokohama. Apparently, she was part of a group called the... Kito-gumi, right? Yeah, I think that's it. Anyway, ever since she's taken control, her group has given the Katen family some trouble. ...Oh well. It's got nothing to do with me. I don't work for the Yakuza anymore, so if they want to duke it out with each other, they can go right ahead. Just tell me when they're fighting so I can bring some popcorn and a drink."

Silent Tragedy

"So... is this what you're doing with your wealth and time now, Chuohku? Allowing criminally insane women to form teams and wield HypMics now? ...I don't know. Seems like a classic way to get fucked over, don't you think? But hey, you guys do whatever you want. Just don't be surprised when this comes back and blows up in your face."

[toshima-division]

Kaori's Thoughts on Shizuoka Division

Hojo Kanon

"I remember this woman. I recall seeing her back when I was... imprisoned in the labs. She seemed... nice. She cared for those of us who experiments more than most scientists did. ...At least until something occurred that caused her to change, not only physically, but mentally as well. She became like the rest of the scientists, not caring about... the pain..." Kaori rubs her arms as goosebumps appear on her skin.

"...I later heard she was sent away from Chuohku. I never thought she'd appear again like this. ...I hate to admit it, but... she scares me. Not because of her appearance, but... because I'm afraid that someday... she may become my future..." Kaori rubs her arms again, as she looks away from the screen.

Aichi Reika

"I recall this lady. I think... I think she sat in the front row during one of my shows. She seemed like a proper woman, but... I could sense something darker and colder inside of her. From what I've heard, she was married and widowed five times. All of her husbands died under... 'mysterious circumstances.'" Kaori looks off to the side, worried.

"I've heard rumors that... she is personally responsible for each of their deaths. I don't know whether it's true or not, but... if it is, then... a future in Chuohku may not be too far off for her..."

Kito Sakura

"I've never met this woman... and I'm not sad about that. I dislike trouble, and engaging one who is part of the... Yakuza seems to bring nothing but that. She seems strong and powerful. A part of me envies her, but... another part of me is glad that I'm not her."

Silent Tragedy

"I do not know why the Prime Minister has sent this team, who is lead by a former scientist, Hypnosis Microphones. I... I do not think they acquired the HypMics by legal means. I... I only hope that we do not have to face them... at least not right away..."

[taito-division]

Azusa's Thoughts on Shizuoka Division

Hojo Kanon

"Another former Chuohku scientist... does the Prime Minister not care about the lives she ruins when she brings these people in? She recruits them, but when their usefulness ends, she discards them with no hesitation. ...Of course, considering that this woman seems more than just a tad... unstable, maybe letting her go was a mercy of sorts."

Aichi Reika

"The things I've heard about Reika-san... they are both appalling, as well as sickening. She has my condolences concerning her mother, but anything aside from that I cannot condone. I know not the reasons why she felt the need to kill her spouses. Perhaps she simply married them for their money, or she has some hidden hatred for men due to her mother's death (If that's so, she is no different from Ichijiku-san). But retribution will come to her sooner or later in life. I simply hope she is prepared."

Kito Sakura

"Kito Sakura... how fitting that a woman such as her chooses to use a gun. Having her wield anything else save for that would be an insult, not only to herself, but also to the creator of the weapon, and the weapon, itself. She and her ilk are worse than tax collectors and seek to terrify many of the good people of Taitō into obeying them. Thankfully, she found out the hard way that we will not simply acquiesce to her wishes. She and the Kito-gumi wish to have Taitō bow to her? It will never happen. Never."

Silent Tragedy

"Tragedies are rarely ever 'silent', but these three... they prove the exception to that rule. I know not what their reason for entering the D.R.B. is. Perhaps vengeance like Hojo-san, more power and wealth like Reika-san, or simply to spread their diabolical influence like Kito. I know not the reasons, but if they should choose to face Blade Maiden, I personally will see that their Machiavellian ways will not succeed."

[sendaidivision]

Ryūzō Thoughts on Shizuoka Division

Hojo Kanon

"...It's not often I agree with Chuohku on most things. In fact, there's hardly anything that we see eye-to-eye on. ...But excommunicating this lady might have quite possibly been the best thing that they have ever done. I'd liken her appearance to that of Ritsuko-san's from Shinagawa. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that I know who they are, I'd say they could be sisters. Suffice to say, I'm not eager to be in the same room with this woman any longer than necessary."

Aichi Reika

"Reika Aichi. Would you believe me if I said that I was actually hired to assassinate this woman once? After the death of her fifth husband, someone put out a contract for her, due to him having a number of influential partners and associates. I didn't really care for the money, but I took the job anyway; only because, while I sympathized with her childhood, that didn't excuse the murder of the rest of her spouses.

"Unfortunately, before I could complete it, I heard that she was run out of Aoyama by the rest of the socialites living there. Afterwards, she went into hiding. I could have easily hunted her down, but the Organization stated that the embarrassment she suffered was punishment enough. I didn't agree at the time, but I guess they had a point."

Kito Sakura

"It's not often when you hear the word 'Yakuza' that you think of any other family save the Katen family that's situated in Yokohama. The Kito-gumi, though they had a reputation, weren't enough of a threat for the Organization to take notice of." Ryūzō looks at the photo of the Yakuza leader. "Apparently, they underestimated them. Ever since this woman took control after the deaths of her father and brothers, the Kito-gumi has slowly spread their influence throughout Japan.

"Fortunately, they've had the good sense to not try anything here in Sendai. I'd rather not have to use my... former skills if I can help it."

Silent Tragedy

"Silent Tragedy... I wonder if the name has to do more with the victims of these women than the women themselves. I understand each of them have suffered, but spreading misery to unto others does not seem like a healthy way to cope. In any case, it'll be interesting to see just how far a team like this goes. I have to wonder how they'll cooperate with each other..."

[toyama-division]

Asato’s Thoughts on Shizuoka Division

Hojo Kanon

“Hojo-san is someone I’m not familiar with… But then again, it says she hides away in Shizuoka from the government, so I don’t think anyone really knows her. I guess I relate… I prefer solitude, although I don’t mind seeing my friends like Yano or even Yumeno sensei. Still, it does make me worried, I guess, that everyone calls her crazy. I don’t think a person can really be that bad, can they? Besides, how can anyone say that sort of thing without meeting her at all?”

Aichi Reika

“Aichi… Aichi… I feel like I’ve seen her name before. Not sure where but… It shouldn’t be a surprise. Our merchandise is popular with rich folks like her, so it wouldn’t be a surprise if we have worked with her for an event or something. Still… I guess she looks nice. Can’t help feeling like something is a little off about her smile though. Just a gut instinct, I think.”

Kito Sakura

“Yakuza… As long as they mind their own business, I have no problems with them. And I don’t think Kito-san is as foolish as the other gangsters who have tried to antagonize my family's work. So… I think she would be okay to meet and talk with, as long as she isn’t too loud and aggressive. I don’t want to tire myself out trying to deal with that kind of energy.”

Silent Tragedy

“Everyone seems to have it out for this team… How can they say that when the whole team has the same goals as most of them? Not that I really care about the government and this tournament that much, but wouldn’t you want help with a common goal? It’s a bother to deal with the complexities in between… As long as everyone has the same aim, I think they should give these Silent Tragedy ladies a chance. Team together and take down the villain… Or whatever.”

[suginami-division]

Maki’s Thoughts on Shizuoka Division

Hojo Kanon

“One can’t help but assume that perhaps something went awry during Hojo’s time with Chuuoku. Because for someone to be born with a lack of empathy for human life is hard to imagine… If it weren’t for her history, I would almost feel pity for her, but I don’t think I could spare that sort of effort for a madwoman like her.”

“And as much as I sympathize with her goals for entering the D.R.B., I can’t find any sort of agreement with the things she does and thinks. Fighting her sounds like a useless endeavor as well, so it may be in our team’s best interest to avoid contacting her in any shape or form.”

Aichi Reika

“My dear brother may call her a gold-digger, but I’d prefer to use the term, opportunistic leech. Taking opportunity isn’t necessarily wrong. I myself, love to take the most inconvenient moments to take people by surprise, whether that is surprising my students with a question, to confusing people in debates, or taking advantage of others to help a situation. And I’d like to think that when I do this, I’m not doing it for a selfish reason. My goal is to help others in the long term. If I can help mold the next history major or political figure, it would mean a lot to me and the future generations.”

“That said, getting connections with the rich to boost your position in society is not wrong as an opportunist. Leeching off of others for their money by seducing then murdering them, however, is shameful. For this Reika woman to do it five times is really appalling. If the court of law is so incompetent as to not recognize her scale of crimes and take control of the situation? Much less, how could they allow her to participate in a wide-scale publicized competition? The fact I’ve had to review this woman has been an unpleasant task. I hope that we never have to be tainted by her presence.”

Kito Sakura

“It’s not like myself to say this, but this woman is probably the most tolerable of the three team members. No doubt, I don’t condone the criminal actions of the yakuza, but I will always have that hint of respect for these groups when it comes to rebelling against the government when the right moment strikes.”

“Kito-san is on the extreme side of the scale of the yakuza as far as I could tell. Both from what Ryuko had told me before he retired and from my own moments of witnessing these types of gangs tells me that avoiding a woman of her caliber is best for my safety. And possibly for Ryuko as well, considering how colorfully he describes his encounter with her.”

Silent Tragedy

“If there is any group I’d like to avoid, this would be the one. Not only would it prove to be a fruitless effort for us to take them on, but it could only end in a tragedy… Much like their name suggests. Aside from the money and territory prizes, we wouldn’t gain a lot from trying to battle them. It will take some effort for me, but I should try and convince my team to avoid charging after them… For the sake of our energy and sanity.”

[megurodivision]

Saji's Thoughts on Shizuoka Division

Hojo Kanon

"This woman looks... 'insane' would be too nice of a word. She reminds me of those supposedly 'sane' doctors you see in horror movies that look nice on the outside, but actually have some deep and dark on the inside. But then again, considering she's a doctor, I suppose she'd have to be more than just a little out there. ...Well, whatever. I don't much care what she does so long as it doesn't involve me and mine."

Aichi Reika

"I've heard of this woman. Didn't she have like five husbands, all of whom died under mysterious circumstances? ...I'd say her luck when it comes to choosing husbands is poor, but considering she profited well after they died, well... maybe their deaths weren't so 'mysterious', after all. Just saying."

Kito Sakura

"Oh God, not her." Saji says, rolling his eyes before scowling at the photo of the Yakuza woman. "This woman's goons had been running around, harassing bar owners here in Meguro before Vito, Yeong and I ran them all out. You had to wonder where she got these guys from. They outnumbered us about five to one, but we managed to beat them all without even breaking so much as a sweat. It was amusing watching them run home with their tails between their legs.

"The next week, she came with her personal entourage and tried to intimidate us into backing off. Unfortunately for her, she grossly underestimated just how much Meguro hates being told what to do. The three of us, along with several other people here in town, personally run her and her friends off. We haven't seen her or them back here since. I guess she's too embarrassed to show her face after that." Saji chuckles at the memory.

Silent Tragedy

"Three dangerous woman forming an alliance to participate in the D.R.B.? ...While I admit that they make for a dangerous team, aren't they worried about not being able to trust one another? It seems like they only joined together for lack of anyone else. ...Not that it's any of my business. If they want a fight with DSC, we'll gladly accommodate them."

[uenodivision]

Aranai's Thoughts on Shizuoka Division

Hojo Kanon

"...So, is this a thing now? Do all Chuohku scientists go nuts after leaving that place, or what? I mean, there's the creepy spider lady from Shinagawa, the snake-like woman from Minato, and now we have a deranged psychotic in Shizuoka. Like seriously, is forfeiting your sanity a requirement for them or something?

"...Well, whatever. She can do whatever she wants in her crazy world. As long as she stays far away from me and mine here in Ueno, we'll have no problems."

Aichi Reika

"This chick is the reason why I don't care much for the upper class. I mean, that prick from Aoyama is about as close to arrogance as I can take. And if you heard stories about this chick and the fact that she supposedly gets richer after each of her husbands dies, then you'd understand what I mean.

"Speaking of which, I hear she and that prick have some sort of grudge against each other, which is kinda surprising. I thought all the rich stick together cause money is what binds them. Guess I was wrong. Oh well. Watching them beat the crap out of each other should be entertaining. I'll be sure to bring some popcorn along for the show."

Kito Sakura

"Ugh, another Yakuza member. I'd have respect for her, but after dealing with that white-haired bastard from Yokohama, I hate anyone who even has dealings with those guys. So this chick is on the list of people I don't care for. And I'll say this right now: if I catch any of your little goons here in Ueno trying to weasel in on my territory, they're coming back to you in boxes. You've been forewarned, bitch."

Silent Tragedy

"A psychotic madwoman, a wannabe 'black widow', and a Yakuza boss. From what I've heard, Boss-Lady has made it her mission to bring these three to justice. I've got nothing against them... for now. But as I stated earlier, if they try to make moves against my city, they're going to pay for it. And that's not a threat or a promise, it's just a natural fact."

[aoyama-division]

Tomi's Thoughts on Shizuoka Division

Hojo Kanon

"Another former Chuohku scientist? ...God, how is it that Chuohku still exists when they keep losing their people left and right like this? ...Although... considering this woman seems slightly more insane than the average scientist, maybe getting rid of her was the smart thing. And I use that word very 'lightly'. 'Smart' and 'Chuohku' do not belong in the same sentence together."

Aichi Reika

"Oh God, how could I ever forget this woman? She used to be part of the socialite class here in Aoyama. We didn't mind much after her first husband was tragically killed. In fact, some of us even got together and put a little banquet on in her honor.

"But after her fourth and fifth husbands were both mysteriously killed and she suddenly inherited all of their funds... well, you didn't need to be a rocket scientist to put two and two together. I, along with the rest of the socialities here in our city, expelled her from our society and told her to leave Aoyama and never return.

"Nobody had heard of her until it was made known that she was now gathering her wealth in Shizuoka, of all places! And now, it seems that she is joining the D.R.B. ...Well, that's just fine with me. I'll finish what my parents and the others started and embarrass her again! And this time, it won't just be in one city. No, I'll embarrass her on stage for all of the entire world to see!"

Kito Sakura

"A Yakuza boss. Hmm... and I thought the only crimelord I'd have to worry about was Aohitsugi from Yokohama. Oh well, if she thinks the people of Aoyama will bow down to her just cause she thinks she's all-powerful, she's wrong."

Silent Tragedy

"I don't know about 'silent', but I promise you, there will be a tragedy when we meet these women on the grand stage in the D.R.B." Tomi looks at Aichi's photo. "And I'm personally looking forward to erasing your existence once more, Reika-san. And this time, you won't appear again. I promise you that."

[akihabaradivision]

Criss's Thoughts on Shizuoka Division

Hojo Kanon

"Wow, another Chuohku scientist gone rogue? Man, I feel sorry for Chuohku losing so many smart people. ...But this woman looks a little... deranged. Like... even more than Ritsuko from Shinagawa, or the scientist from Minato. Keiko says she is very dangerous, and I should avoid her at all costs. ...The warning was appreciated, but kinda unneeded. I wouldn't go within 10 feet of this woman! ...Unless there was a ghost or something by her. Then... maybe."

Aichi Reika

"I remember this lady! She and another woman stopped from exploring this really spooky building in Shizuoka! I had heard rumors of something... 'scary' being there, so I went to check it out. Unfortunately, the woman told me it was private property and I had to leave, which really sucked! Later on, Keiko lectured me saying that I shouldn't have been there in the first place. She was a bit interested when I told her about the two women, though. She thanked me, but still told me to be careful next time. I wonder who the woman was. She seemed nice, but something was really... off about her..."

Kito Sakura

"This was the other woman that I was talking about. She seemed kinda grumpy-like. But I could tell she was dangerous since she ordered a lot of men to watch the building. I wonder who she was. Like the other woman before, she seemed dangerous. ...Maybe I should look up on her..."

Silent Tragedy

"This team is straight up weird, which is saying something! I wouldn't mind them much, but they all seem like villains from a crime or horror story! Keiko still doesn't want me going back to Shizuoka, though. She says its filled with dangerous people who will hurt me, and I should stay away for my own good. I didn't want to, but she made me promise. Shame though, I really wanted to check out that haunted building..."

[miyazaki-division]

Rinko’s thoughts on Shizuoka division

Kanon Hojo

“Kanon…I know of her yes” Rinko gently plucked a string on her violin “I’ve heard the rumors about her specifically from Himari”

“I could have sworn I caught a glimpse of her during a street performance I was giving in Shizuoka before” she rubs her head “She was watching me from far away…I couldn’t tell if she was pissed off at me or if she actually liked the song I was playing”

“She seems like the type of person to enjoy classical music”

Reika

“I do have to agree with our leader here…she is rather stunning. Though I already have my eyes on someone” She glances over at the oblivious blonde across the room “She still seems like a sophisticated woman, no doubts about that one!”

Sakura

“I’ve came across her before” Rinko sighs “It was late at night in Shizuoka…and I ran into some trouble” the red head began to tear up “This man had a gun and-! He knocked me out- I THOUGHT I WAS ABOUT TO DIE”

She felt a hand on her back, turning around to see Himari had snuck up behind her. Pulling her into a hug Rinko began to speak once more.

“Apparently she saved my life that night, when I woke up I was in the hospital with Kyoko and Himari by my side…I don’t know what happened to that man however”

Silent Tragedy

“They certainly are interesting I give them that, though if looks could kill…I would be dead” She shudders “I really think we should stay on our toes in a match with them”

Tasuku's Thoughts on Shizuoka Division

Hojo Kanon

"Damn... and I thought that creepy 'spider-lady' from Shinagawa was terrifying. This woman makes her look completely sane in comparison. ...But then again, how sane do you have to be to work in a place like Chuohku? It still boggles my mind that Sanyu was able to escape that place..."

Aichi Reika

"I recognize this woman! Her name has been in the newspapers at least once or twice now. She's the woman whose husbands all died, right? Man, I feel sorry for her... not! I mean, come on! Her first's husband death? That was an unfortunate accident. Her second husband? A coincidence... maybe. But her third, fourth and fifth ones? Yeah, those were no accidents.

"This woman marries and kills her husbands for money. She reminds me of one of the villain characters in those murder mystery novels Ming likes to read from time to time. I'm surprised she hasn't been caught yet. But I'm sure her luck will run out someday. After all, it can change on a dime; take it from me."

Kito Sakura

"I remember this woman. She came into the casino with a huge entourage of goons, like she owned the damn place. Everyone with any sense knew better than to mess with her. Me, she wasn't bothering me none. ...At least until she came over to my table to play a game of stacks. I was ordered by my boss to let her win all the games, which didn't sit well with me at all. Still, I had to obey orders, but that doesn't mean I was going to make it easy for her.

"I made sure that she was going to work for the win, so I personally made sure I beat her in the first two rounds before I let her win her money back. My boss wasn't happy, but I didn't care. Besides, I let her win her games, didn't I?" Tasuku laughs out loud at this.

Silent Tragedy

"Silent Tragedy, huh? Funny, I didn't think tragedies were quiet, at least not the ones I've seen. I don't really get why Chuohku sent microphones to this guys. ...Especially since the leader is a deranged psychopath who hates them." Tasuku then shrugs. "Oh well! It's got nothing to do with us. But hey, if we happen to fight them, it should make for an interesting battle. ...Though I don't know if Sanyu will be able to handle it..."

Mei's Thoughts on Shizuoka Division

Hojo Kanon

"...Damn, what the hell happened to this crazy woman? Word is, she used to be a scientist for Chuohku until some sort of experiment scrambled her f'ing brains. Now she apparently plays the part of a female Dr. Jekyll or some shit. Kind of fitting when you see her MC name. Honestly, I wonder who's more insane: her or the crazy spider chick that I, unfortunately, still have to guard from time to time."

Aichi Reika

"I've heard about this chick. She got married five times, right? And each time, her husband seems to have 'mysteriously' passed away soon after the wedding, with her inheriting their fortune. Chick's kind of nuts, but she's got guts! I respect that."

Kito Sakura

"Ha, Ms. Renegade! This chick's got balls, but I like her enough. Admittedly, our first meeting could have gone better, though. I ran into her while walking home from a night of work (I still say she ran into me). Needless to say, when you get two badass angry women together, there's obviously going to be trouble. So after a round or two of us beating the tar out of each other, we called it a 'draw' and ended it there.

"Strangely, she wasn't too bit out of shape about it, and we had a nice laugh about it. Yeah, she's alright."

Silent Tragedy

"Other than the mad scientist over there, I admire this team. Aichi and Kito seem like women who know what they want, and know how to get it. They have no qualms about who they have to hurt, and I respect that. A shame we're on opposing teams. But hey, maybe when this is over, I'll them out for a drink and a talk. I feel we could all get along well with each other."
