Get to know the mun
Tagged by: no one!!! stole from @etxrnaleclipse Tagging: anyone that wants to do it :))))
Tumblr media
name : Ariel
pronouns :  she/they
preference of communication : at this point defs discord. I get overwhelmed and flustered by tumblr messaging since it likes to eat shit
most active muse : hmmm it changes constantly but you can usually expect that I'll have muse for Anakin. that fucker is LOUD. currently also feeling alllllll my new additions from the past couple weeks
experience / how many years :  this blog is my first indie oc blog and I've had it since the very end of 2014? pretty cool! been rping since middle school, migrated to tumblr in high school. so yeah, many years
best experience : it's soooo hard to pinpoint one thing. I will say that building muses and worlds with a writing partner I trust is like... ugh it's the best feeling. I have ships/families with a few of my angel loves that have really changed the game for me - so thank you (you know who you all are)
rp pet peeves : I have quite a few but I think rn the biggest thing that grinds my gears is the fun wombo combo of ignorance and entitlement. this is a hobby and some people take it so seriously? expect too much? get aggressive for no reason? let's just take a chill, babes, and enjoy what we do. if it does not spark joy? no more! simple as that! be good people xx
fluff, angst, or smut : mmmm love me a good balance of fluff and angst (bonus points if we are doing a thread for each at the same time!!!). smut used to be a hell no but with the people I trust its pretty blessed too
plots or memes : there is love and appreciation for both on this blog. I LOVE to plot but admittedly sometimes the brain just will not do it. memes can be a great way to get stuff happening, at least in the meantime.
long or short replies : I will always prefer long replies. 2-3 paras is sweet and I loveeee but 4-7? MMMM yummy. thats not to say that I dont enjoy short replies though because yes, absolutely I do!
time to write : late late laaaaaaaate at night, bby. when the world is asleep and I can sit up alone just letting the muse flow out
are you like your muses : tbh most of them yes. I try to put a little bit of myself in most muses, even if its one minor detail, because that makes them mine, you know? it tethers them to me as my creations. like yeah, sullivan is a straight up murderer lol can NOT relate there. but his bond with his lil brother? yeah, thats me and my sis right there

Pringles is a popular American potato chip brand also loved worldwide. It all started in 1956 when Procter & Gamble started making perfect chips. Initially, people complained of greasiness and hence the chips were improvised to be non-greasy. The stacks were introduced to keep them unbroken and fresh.

Though chip is the term synonymous with potato crisps, there is a little difference. Potato chips are made only using potatoes.

A META KNIGHT’S TALE/META KNIGHT AND THE MYSTERIOUS ECLIPSE
No cover art this time! Might update this later with it.
It was pretty difficult trying to make this game work as a stand-alone, but still have the Kirby charm. That applies to both the storyline and the gameplay, for the record. Any and all criticism is encouraged! Just like with Kirby’s Inferno, this is not meant to be speculation on a future Kirby game, this is solely made for fun! If there ever is a Meta Knight spinoff, you didn’t hear it from me.
STORY
It’s an average peaceful day in Dreamland, and Captain Vul is overseeing the Meta-Knights’ training. They’re all doing pretty well, except for Sailor Dee, who just can’t seem to get a hang of his bow and arrow. Vul is most proud of Meta Knight himself, however, and lauds him when he shuttle-loops a training dummy into stuffing. This exercise is interrupted when a strange meteor crashes down about a mile away, and Sword, Blade, and Meta Knight go off to scope it out.
Upon further inspection, they see that it appears to be a small escape pod of some sort, and there’s a person covered in stars inside of it. Without warning, he bursts from it and lunges at Meta Knight, thrusting a nodachi at his face. They clash for quite some time until Sword and Blade take over, and the other Meta-Knights sans Sailor dogpile on as well. As Meta Knight catches his breath, a small fairy then exits the pod, dazed and weak. She shakes it off, and gasps at the sight before her.
The man manages to break through the barrage of attacks and tries again to strike Meta Knight, but their blades clash and they struggle to maintain their own ground. The fairy girl then yanks the guy away by his ponytail and shows him a picture of a certain spherical hero. It’s actually Kirby, but due to the picture having no color (or any other identification, WTF, Tara?), he believes it to be Meta Knight.
They apologize for attacking and explain themselves. Orion comes from the planet of Aurora Cosmos, which is currently under attack by a mysterious moon-like structure known as the Eclipse Castle. Being the gentlemen that they are (and a little sheepish for attacking an innocent guy), they agree to help him and lead him to the Halberd. Sailor Dee finally hits the target dead on, and Tara cheers him as Axe and Mace guide him into the ship.
Upon reaching Orion’s planet, they can safely affirm that the massive crescent moon-shaped object above the shimmering green planet probably isn’t supposed to be there. I mean, usually, it’s a bad thing when half of the planet’s coated in a gross blackish tar. Landing on the planet proves difficult as well, being that they’re attacked by shapeshifting beasts (which Tara refers to as Morphix) and nearly crash.  
Unfettered, the band of knights marches on through the land, slaying these freakish creatures and saving the natives from a gooey torment. But, something seems to be off about Orion. Even for the Meta-Knights, he seems a bit too aloof and unattached, only focusing on the mission at hand and refusing to take a load off.
This reaches a head when after defeating a massive Morphix that begins ripping the place to shreds, Orion does something obscenely reckless. He nonchalantly leaps off of a cliff, and Meta Knight dives after him, catching him and flying him to safety. When they land, the poor guy is in a state of utter bewilderment at what just happened. Apparently, Orion should be able to fly, and is pretty shocked at his sudden inability.
Later, when the crew is roasting marshmallows around a fire, he stands alone and ponders what could be happening. Much to his horror, the answer is made clear when he sees that the stars on his arms are disappearing. He quickly yanks his arm guards over the now-blank spots to hide them as Meta Knight approaches.
Meta Knight can tell something’s wrong but doesn’t pry; instead silently reassuring him that he’ll be fine if they stick together. They hear a scream of terror and turn to see that Tara’s marshmallow has caught fire, and she’s flying around in a tizzy trying to put it out. Sailor Dee helps her out by chucking it into a pond, which gets everyone to laugh and finally unwind.
Once all the countries of the planet are nice and monsterless, the knights turn their attention to the Eclipse Castle. Something goes horribly wrong when they bring the Halberd to the surface. Not only are they immediately grounded by black spires and crash land, Orion suddenly yells out and collapses, the stars from his body rapidly dissolving. The crew rushes over to him and a tearful Tara reveals that they haven’t been exactly honest with them. 
Many years ago, Orion’s people were cursed by a vengeful and chaotic mage named Pitch Shadow, who threatened to destroy their planet if they did not submit to his will and give him their magical power. Orion knew that going after him alone would mean certain demise, but he didn’t care as long as his planet was safe. It was only with Tara’s urging that he changed his mind and decided to seek out allies.
Orion is true and fully dead. Furious, Meta Knight leaps through the portal to destroy him, the hesitant crew following suit. Inside the Midnight Castle, they find a massive crystal ball chained to the ground with thick glowing chains. Upon breaking it open, they realize their horrible mistake, as it turns out that the chains were what was giving it it’s energy.
Now fully freed, Pitch begins to siphon all the life out of the planet. They’ve got to turn around to the Halberd and use its cannons to shatter the chains before pummeling him into a pulp once more. With the mage blasted into oblivion, the Eclipse Castle itself starts falling to pieces, and they bolt out of there as fast as they can.
The Halberd continues its journey back down to Aurora Cosmos, while both Meta Knight and Tara sadly gaze upon Orion’s body in the sick bay. Meta Knight turns to leave, but something catches his eye outside the window; a vast collection of golden stars has appeared where the Eclipse Castle used to be, and they’re heading right towards the ship.
As they fill the interior, the markings on Orion’s body reappear, and he awakens. Tara is overjoyed, fluttering around him, and cheering as Meta Knight stares in shock. Overcome by emotion, Meta Knight rushes over to him and embraces him, Orion taking it in stride as he pats Meta’s head.
Triumphant, the knights and Orion land to a cheering crowd. Orion’s wings reappear, to which he responds to by challenging Meta Knight to a race. But as the two take off and dart around the city, it becomes less of a competition and more of the two simply having fun! 
GAMEPLAY
Each member has their own personal move set and stats, which can be paired up with another knight to create exclusive moves (and to help with puzzles)
However, they all share one move; they plant their weapon in the ground and clutch onto it, preventing them from being blown away or sucked up by enemies. (ha-ha, wow, that’s dark)
By defeating enemies with combos, you fill up a meter called “boost points”. This gives you the ability to call on Tara so that she can give you extra help with a quick nuzzle or a beam of light from her horn.
These powers include temporary invincibility, stronger attacks, more health, or heightened speed.
Pieces of armor can also show up in hidden crates across various levels, all randomized.
You can mix and match different caps, armor, and weapons, but there are exclusive sets that can permanently boost your stats if completed.
There’s a daily roulette wheel (à la Miitopia) that can give you brand new armor, more boost points, or Maxim Tomatoes.
The game’s map operates the same way that Amazing Mirror’s does, with an open world you can freely move around to which level you’d like and replay them at your leisure. They’re connected all by a central hub in the Halberd, which has a training room and an armory that you can enter at any time.
There’s a boss at the end of every level, not just the worlds! Admittedly, they’re still about the same difficulty as midbosses.

Tara’s Dialogue (hub)
(answers to "Greetings.")
You're so cool, Meta Knight! I know you can save us! I-I-I mean, help us.
(post-game) I knew you could do it! Thank you so much for all your aid.
(answers to "Let me see the armory.")
Want to see what armors you've got?
(50% or higher completion) It's getting pretty packed in there! Watch your head!
(100% completion) Brings back memories, doesn't it?
(answer to "I want to try the roulette.")
It's time to play some roulette!
(answers to "What do you think of the crew?")
Captain Vul is astounding! But he's so tall, it scares me a little bit.
Sword Knight is great! His helmet looks like a yummy loaf of bread!
Blade Knight is so brave! He looks up to you a lot, you know.
Mace Knight is so funny! That guy always knows how to cheer me up!
Javelin Knight is very smart! I've never met a robot before!
Axe Knight is so loyal! You two remind me of Orion and me!
Trident Knight is pretty mysterious! But he's good fun!
Sailor Waddle Dee is so cute! ...um, that's all I have to say.
Orion is awe-inspiring! He's my best friend in the whole world!
(answers to "Do you have any advice?")
Have you tried out the training room? It never hurts to brush up on your skills!
Some knights mesh better than others. Try out a bunch of teams and see which works for you!
You should smile more! ...oh, that's not what you meant, is it?
(answers to "Thank you. Goodbye.")
Bye-bye!
It's been a long journey so far. Why not take a rest?

SECRET RADIO | 11.14.20
Tumblr media
Secret Radio | 11.14.20 | Hear it here.
Artwork by Paige, liner notes by Evan except * for Paige
1. The Wizard of Oz - “Ding Dong” Suite
We were looking for a proper song to get this party started, and damned if it didn’t involve a bunch of delighted munchkins! As much as our hopes for the coming years are muted, the relief at not having to contend with a headlong dictator enjoying full-on democratic support just cannot be overstated. DING DONG Y’ALL!
2. David Bowie - “Look Back in Anger”
I’ve been practicing drums a ton during the pandemic, and I just realized that I’m going to have to spend some time trying to get at this pattern. It’s some of my favorite drumming ever, from one of my top 20 albums ever. In fact, this comes from a very special edition of Lodger, via Brian McClelland, wherein Tony Visconti took the original tapes and completely remixed the album as he always felt it should have been mixed if they weren’t be rushed. To someone who has listened to that record many many times, it sounds like I’ve been next door the album all this time, and I’m finally allowed into the room where it’s playing. So clear and focused and modern!
3. Frank Alamo - “Ma Biche”
A “biche” is a doe, we believe. “It’s something about ‘pretty eyes,’” Paige says, “which would make sense.” Further research, though, reveals that the song is about how much he likes her pretty dark eyeliner. I know the feeling!
4. (Not) Rom JongVak - “Monkey”
Well, this has been a learning process. There’s this great song that I thought was called “Twist (Dance Twist)” by Rom Jong Vak, that we played like a month ago — and then tonight I thought I was playing “Monkey,” by Rom JongVak. Buuut, as I look further, I’m learning that the first song was “Rom Jong Vak Twist,” by Pan Ron… And the song here is I guess called “Rom Jong Vak Monkey,” and I have no idea who it’s by! All of the text on the page is in just boxes where Cambodian text would go, so it’s bound to remain lost. Whoever it is, I sure do enjoy that first aggressive drum fill and the whole weird texture of this recording.
5. Luiz Visconde - “Chofer de Praça”
Paige: “The first times that I listened to this Angolan collection, I really just listened to Os Kiezos, because they did “Muxima.” But then I eventually spread out and found this song. It’s from Angola, between ’65 and ’75.”
6. The Velvet Underground - “European Son”
P: We would go to the Beechwood a little bar around the corner from us in Wicker Park, down the street off Milwaukee Avenue. They had a real jukebox, not a TuneBlast or whatever. It was just a great little dive. They had this record in the jukebox, and we would always put on this song. I suppose that could have been read as an aggressive thing to do, but we’d put on other songs too! It was a good way to stretch your quarters, and it loosens the bar up. And I figured, if they didn’t like this song they wouldn’t put it in the jukebox.
     Once when we were there on a busy weekend night, something was wrong with the jukebox. It was broken. And the bartender opened it up and put like a hundred bucks on it and said, “Everybody play whatever you want, three songs each. It was awesome. Everybody did take turns too, three songs each, all around the bar. It was a really cool night.
7. Fred Astaire - “No Strings (I’m Fancy Free)”
What a lovely piano intro! This song is from the 1935 film “Top Hat.” It’s one of those movies where the clever protagonist pursues a girl he has a crush on — or terrorizes a stranger until she submits to his will, depending on whose perspective you take. There are a lot of those — “An American in Paris” is another — and they’re fascinating to watch just by flipping that switch back and forth in your own head. Meanwhile, both movies are chock full of beautiful shots, fabulous scenes, gorgeous songs, and glowing stars. 
     Something about the quality of this recording — a new master or something? — makes it sound like it was JUST recorded. It feels so alive and contemporary, with a lovely little vibrophone solo in the middle. I just 
Martial Solal, “Breathless” soundtrack - “L’amour, la mort”
Note: I remember this story in the reverse, where the truckers announced this gleefully to each other as they marched merrily OUT the door and into the late afternoon, headed towards… what? Whatever it is, I hope they found it and everyone had a great time.
8. Johnny Hallyday - “Nous quand on s’embrasse”
Have you seen “The Wild One”? Can’t you see how much trouble could have been avoided if those leathered-up motorcycle dudes were able to rock out to songs like this one instead of trying to jazz their way forward? They should have been twisting the night away! Alas, instead they had to tear up bars and beat people up to get their kicks. Tough break, kid.
9. Lokassa Ya M’bongo - “Bonne année”
I found this while searching for something else, but it was labeled “l’Instant Vinyl” in the same format as our Assa-Cica record, so had to check it out. M’bongo is a Congolese guitarist — a rhythm guitarist specifically, which doesn’t normally get the love that lead guitar gets in this soukous form. Lokassa Ya M’bongo means “Lokassa the money man,” and he became a session man in demand. He was a big part of the “Congolo-Paris sound,” a phrase I just read that I’m going to have to look more into.
    Bonne année indeed! Still feeling that relief about hopefully getting out from under the thumb of that giant dummy.
10. Velly Joonas - “Stopp, Seisku Aeg!”
The image of Velly Joonas is pretty heart-stopping: she’s absolutely beautiful, in giant glasses and a striped shirt. The song is so confident and strange in its instrumentation, with keys, organ, fiddle, and a super-tight bass/drum combo. I feel like this could have been a big US underground hit in the ‘90s.
11. Eko Roosevelt - “Kilimandjaro”
Such a sincere song! Eko Roosevelt is kind of hit and miss with me, but when they hit, they get completely stuck in my head! The horn parts on “Me To a De Try My Own” do that to me, and so does the eternal chorus of this song. I love the notes in the bridge as they drop further and further down the scale like they’re descending from the mountaintop. And when he gets to the declarations of love at the end — “I love you, my home! I really do, I really do!” — that’s it, that’s the best.
12. Tonetta - “Yummy Yummy Pizza”
I warn you: look up this video (after you listen to the “broadcast” of course) at your own peril. Not because it’s terrible, but because it is fascinating, and it is just one of SO many. They tease you with tiny shreds of information about this Tonetta person, but never enough that you can get a sense of what the hell is going on with… him? Them? Maybe ask Matt and Brian from Tok about it — they got obsessed enough to record an EP of Tonetta songs, which is how I heard about this all in the first place.
13. Prewar Yardsale - “AU Base”
Paige: I was loading a five-disc changer at Jeffrey’s and something about the cover, the name sounded interesting. I put it on and it’s pretty freakin rad. It stood up to my blind listen expectations. I think this is produced by our friend Matt Mason. 
14. Eugenius - “Mary Queen of Scots”
Matt Mason and Jeffrey Lewis make me think of Schwervon!, which makes me think of the Vaselines who they toured with several times, and that brings me to Eugenius, headed by Eugene Kelly. This was a mainstay in Sean’s room when we all lived together, singing the harmonies and air-drumming along. It remains as satisfying as ever, I’m happy to say.
15. Wednesday Campanella - “Aladdin”
This song is sung in Japanese, not that you’d know from context clues. Tim Gebauer introduced us to this strange Japanese shapeshifter. It was hard to tell if I liked her music or was just amazed by her videos (which you should totally check out). Now I believe it’s safe to say we dig this song. I like how many elements of ‘70s international disco it has, while still sounding super modern. What is weirder to me is that I cannot tell if I would like this song if it was sung in English.
Breathless soundtrack
16. Letti Mbulu - “Mahlalela”
Originally South African, Mbulu managed to escape to the US in 1965 and had a hell of a career. She worked with Cannonball Adderley, Hugh Masakela, Harry Belafonte and Michael Jackson. Quincy Jones said this amazing thing about her: “Mbulu is the roots lady, projecting a sophistication and warmth which stirs hope for attaining pure love, beauty, and unity in the world.” Um, that’s really impressive.
17. Christophe - “Aline”
*Really dig this song, partially I think because it’s in a decent range for me to sing along. I love his desperate delivery and tone of voice. We just learned tonight that Christophe passed away this year at 74 after complications with COVID-19. 
18. Zap Mama - “Brrlak!”
Credit to my dad, Larry Sult, for bringing Zap Mama to our attention. He’s been heavily into marimba music, and played in a marimba band in Bellingham for many years; in fact, he spent many years making the instruments for the band in his woodshop in the basement of their home. Zap Mama is adjacent to that music, though certainly very different. This band comes from all over the world. The main gal was born in &&&&& but found herself in a Pygmy society for awhile, which seems to be where she developed some of those low-high yodels. We saw some footage of her playing, and she did this awesome thing where she held empty airplane bottles just below her lips as she sang, creating a resonance that you can hear here. I love that this whole composition is a cappella.
19. The Buzzards - “High Society”
Years ago, I was whiling away my time in Seattle and stopped into Orpheum Records, right there at the corner where Broadway turns into 10th Ave E. After a half hour of flipping through records I had to know what all the killer albums were that had been playing overhead. Turns out they were all from “The Sympathetic Sounds of Detroit,” a collection of Detroit bands put out by Sympathy for the Record Industry. It was recorded by Jack White and Jim Diamond and it’s full of topshelf tracks, but after all the years, this is the one that we turn out to actually enjoy, and quote, the most. 
    As far as I could tell, there isn’t a version of this song anywhere online, which I personally find disGRACEful!
20. Sleepy Kitty - “Buzzards & Dreadful Crows”
My favorite part of this recording is that I got to sing a couple of guitar parts that I reflexively sing along to on the original.
*This was from a 20th anniversary of “Bee Thousand” tribute show, and we made this recording with Jason Hutto at this studio off Cherokee Street and we recorded a couple others that we did that night. A small run of screenprinted downloads were made. 
Teddy Afro, “Mar Eske Tuwa” credit music
21. Ata Kak - “Moma Yendodo”
Some corrections to what I said in the broadcast: Ata Kak is indeed Ghanian, but I think he might have recorded this in Germany. His is a fascinating little story of determination. This recording comes from a tape that he made about 50 copies of total. It was found by Brian from Awesome Tapes From Africa at a roadside stand in Ghana. He loved it so much that he spent years trying to track Ata Kak down. When he finally did, they found that the original master tapes were all ruined, and Brian’s copy was the only one that they could make a new version from! So that’s what you’re hearing here. 
22. Spoon - “30 Gallon Tank”
Early Spoon is some of my favorite music ever. This is from “A Series of Sneaks,” an album that changed my life pretty much as soon as I heard it. Harvey Danger stopped at a lot of record stores on tour, and at one of them I managed to stumble upon both “A Series of Sneaks” and (I think) Guv’ner’s “Spectral Worship” — what a day! I put this album on in headphones in the van and just listened over and over and over again. Eventually, when our manager announced that we should spend a few weeks between radio festivals headlining a tour with a couple of support acts and asked if we had any ideas, I had a list with Spoon on top and Creeper Lagoon right below that. The tour that resulted was rough for Spoon — they’d just been dropped by their label and were having an understandably rough time — but a fucking thrill for me, because I got to see one of my favorite bands each night. That still stands as one of the absolute highlights of my time in Harvey Danger. Jim Eno is one of the top drummers in my pantheon because he’s such a great composer for the song, and Britt Daniels plays guitar the way I truly wish I did — which he did at the time all on distorted acoustic guitar! 
23. Patrick Coutin - “Fais-moi jouir”
*I meant to put on a different Patrick Coutin song but put this one on by accident and I was like, this is cool, and then I was like “I think he’s saying. . .I think this is pretty. . . explicit. Like Serge and Jane cranked.” As far as I can tell, it definitely is. They don’t teach you these words on Duolingo though. Ha! 
24. Dur Dur Band - “Yabaal”
I mean no disrespect to Dur Dur Band when I say that we didn’t dig the first several songs we heard by them, but this song is undeniable. The groove just digs in and doesn’t stop for anything.
25. Mel Brooks - “High Anxiety”
We’re stepping out on a mixed emotional note, but: we’re not out of the woods yet. I hope we can get through the next couple of months as a nation peacefully and productively, but Paige and I are both in a state of high anxiety about what still seems to be happening daily. Stay safe!
*yet staying optimistic! ’Cause we gotta. À plus tard!

mforalways replied to your link “Does Iceland really have the best hot dog in the world?”
Icelandic hotdogs are AMAZING!!! I just scanned quickly through the article so I don't know if they mentioned remoulade specifically, but the main sauce on an Icelandic hotdog is their own, hot dog specific, kind of mustard (the dark sauce in the picture). Its mild but smokey and delicious! They also add fried onions to their dogs and the combo is very yummy.
The mustard and the fried/raw onion combo do sound really good. I just couldn’t move past the remoulade for a while. 
garethdragonsbane
Dear Copperbadge,
Please try mayonnaise and Peanut Butter on a hot dog as its condiments. I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Unless you’re allergic to peanuts. Then you might be a little disappointed.
Sadly I am both allergic to peanuts and deeply averse to mayonnaise on sandwiches (or sandwich-like foodstuffs). It seems like that would make the hot dog really....oily, too. 
However, I am willing to try a hot dog with almond butter. Even with almond butter and mustard, perhaps!

What even is the point of the green beans? If it were some sort of legume that added protein that would be one thing, but green beans are just a vegetable. I do not understand. They're not even sweet like carrots. What the hell?
Fiber? I don’t know. There was a time when green beans were a major component of diets, sometime in the sixties or seventies, so perhaps this was like a nod to attempting to diet?

If you put tinned green beans in a blender, they really just come out looking and tasting....brown? Like too weak to be umami, but brown? See also veggie chopped "liver."
Oh my god, are green beans supposed to have umami? Are they meant to taste like...savory? 
Jesus that explains so much.

Kamen Rider Gatol (so far)
This is a lot. Sorry if it’s too much!
 In a world separate from other worlds, where Kamen Rider wasn't so much as an idea, much less a reality... the organization NEW-DIMENSION has obtained otherworldly technology, contained within the DiLoaders, odd, key-like structures with the power of other realities injected within. Using these keys, they plan to create a mechanical army, and rule over the world...and maybe, one day, all worlds will fall! However, two of their experiments go rouge, and work together using their own DiLoaders to combat NEW-DIMENSION, with the power of justice from other worlds backing them up. They are...! Kamen Rider Gatol (gattai + portal) Real Name: Midari Akami Former Code Name: Load-0 Age: 21 Bio: A scientist who was working on a project into other dimensions that NEW-DIMENSION took over, her physical fitness allowed her to be used as a test subject to create human-Newload hybrids. It succeeded, but she kept her sanity and escaped with an Ichigo DiLoader. She proceeded to use it for a while as her only form, creating her Proto-Typhoon Version, which helped her fight off Newload goons. However, it wasn't enough against the Shocker-type Tarantula Newman, who overpowered her until her foe accidentally dropped a Mighty Kuuga DiLoader. Using the full power of her Dimension Driver, she was able to use the Ichigo and Mighty Kuuga DiLoaders to create her "base" form, TyphoonMighty Version, and defeat Tarantula Newman. She would later come to blows with the other Rider, Load-1 or, as they preferred, Kamen Rider Nuzion, as she tried to scare the kid off from endangering themselves as a Rider. She stopped upon learning that they, too, were forcibly converted into a cyborg, and the two formed a powerful duo. Personality: Intensely studious, sharp-witted, and somewhat friendly, Midari was a good friend to many before her friends in the lab were killed, and she forcibly converted into a human-Newload hybrid. Afterwards, she became more boxed-in, suffering from a deep depression and a burning anger that was barely kept in. Once she realized her full potential as a Rider, she started going wild, filled with intense rage. However, she started to calm down upon teaming up with Nuzion, who she now protects fiercely as her only friend. She is also intensely self-sacrificial, willing to lay down her life to stop NEW-DIMENSION from hurting anyone else the way she was hurt. Forms (the DiLoaders are very interchangable (even between Riders), so these are just "the most used" forms): Tier 1: TyphoonMighty (Ichigo + Mighty Kuuga), DecaRessha (Decade + Den-O Sword), JustiWheel (Faiz + Drive) Tier 2: MechaOrgan (Black RX Roborider + Black RX Biorider), MechaDead (Black RX Roborider + Blade Ace), RushOrgan (Kabuto + Black RX Biorider), ShinkaMighty (Agito Ground + Kuuga Mighty) Tier 3: ClimaxBlazing (Den-O Climax + OOO TaJaDor) Tier 4 (no switching around, as DiLoader for this combo fills both slots): Thunder-la-Finale (Stronger Charge Up + Kuuga Ultimate) Kamen Rider Nuzion (new + fusion) Real Name: Jo Ishida Former Code Name: Load-1 Age: 18 Bio: A world-renowned motorbike racer, Jo was aiming towards the championship when he was kidnapped by NEW-DIMENSION to create the second of their hybrids. However, like the last attempt, Jo managed to escape as they found themselves with the Knight and Nigo DiLoaders, allowing them to attain their "base" form, MiraiStrong. Using their newfound powers to help fight off petty criminals and NEW-DIMENSION alike, they found themselves in a fight with Gatol, who wanted to chase them off from the life of being a Rider. The fights only ceased upon discovering their similar pasts, and the two have since formed an intense duo. Personality: Jo was (and still is) intensely high energy, confident, and was a decent speaker, allowing their fame as a bike racer to take off even further than it already had. After their forced conversion, however, their cocksure attitude became more of a defense mechanism, a response to the intense pain and suffering that the conversion had caused, as well as the attempts to break their mind. They try to hide it behind a friendly smile, however, and have gained a desire to help as many people as possible, which NEW-DIMENSION has used more than once in an attempt to trick them. Forms (again, the DiLoaders are interchangeable, so unless said otherwise these are not the only combos available): Tier 1: MiraStrong (Knight + Nigo), GeistKing (Specter Specter Damashii + Baron Banana Arms), DefendArm (G3 + Riderman) Tier 2: MemoryKing (Zeronos Altair + Baron Banana Arms), GeistRoll (Specter Specter Damashii + Brave Hunter Gamer Level 5) Tier 3: TempoRoll (DiEnd + Brave Hunter Gamer Level 5) Tier 4: Turbo-la-Inseki (Accel Trial + Meteor Storm) NEW-DIMENSION, however, isn't quite so easy to beat--thanks to the DiLoaders from other dimensions, they can summon monsters based off those from other series--the Newloads! Shocker-type: The first type to show up in the series, Shocker-types are the most intelligent and the ones most complacent to strategy out of all the times. They're also one of the better shapeshifting types, able to take multiple human forms naturally. Grongi-type: A very powerful type, only being able to be beaten by intense physical strength and/or the power of the Kuuga DiLoader. Very tough skin with decent regeneration. However, they are intensely violent, and the hardest to control. Lords-type: The most loyal type, and also the type hardest to deter from their goal. They can also slightly bend the laws of physics to do their mission. However, they have a very one-track mind, and can be outsmarted. Mirror-type: Typically the least human, they are able to float between the real world and the world within mirrors easily. Strength is variable, and they need humans to prey on to survive. However, they can use the power of Vents to make the difference in a battle. Orphenoch-type: Usually forbidden by higher-ups, Orphenoch-types require a corpse to revive and fuse with, essentially becoming that person back from the grave. However, said person will often have mood swings, and will eventually be unable to use their human form. Restricted by higher-ups both because of the distasteful necromancy, and the fact that they are uncontrollable. Undead-type: Not the strongest, nor the smartest, but they have regeneration that even outpaces Grongi-types. Typically only the Blade DiLoader's ability, Joker Seal, is able to stop their regeneration and allow them to be destroyed, though stronger finishers can sometimes do the trick. Makamou-type: A spiritual type of enemy, decent in most capabilities, but their best quality is their immunity to most attacks unless they create great noise. They are able to feed off humans to increase their power and resistance, some even evolving into Super Makamou-types, which are almost as strong as Grongi-types, and able to induce hallucinations of various kinds. Worm-type: Able to use Clock Up, making it the fastest variant by far, these types blaze through the battlefield with no fear. They can also take on human disguises. However, they also have weak defenses, and if hit hard enough, not even Clock Up can save them from their shells breaking. Work well with Roidmude-types, thanks to being immune to time-slow. Imagin-type: Able to transform into sand, these variants are typically only used in specific scenarios, usually on children. Able to grant wishes and then possess the user into doing its bidding, these types are hard to get out of the victim's body, but once they are they are quite mediocre in battle, unless powered by a very strong DiLoader. Decade-type: Does not exist, as Decade DiLoaders have data on other variants, but doesn't cannot create a stable variant on its own. Used to increase the power of Conglomerate-types. Yummy-type: Able to use strong desires to become stronger and stronger, these variants are good at targeting the rich or the needy, using their wants to increase its power exponentially. However, if cut off from its source, they are easy to defeat. Roidmude-type: With a shapeshifting power equal to that of the Shocker-type, and the power to slow time, Roidmude-types are good for espionage and assassination. In battle, they can overpower opponents with time-slow, and also fuse with vehicles and machines to gain their attributes and extra power. Work well with the fast Worm-types, thanks to them being immune to time-slow. Ganma-type: A spectral variant that can possess and fuse with objects. Invisible in their true forms, their evolved forms become powerful the more objects they can consume, however what they can consume varies from monster-to-monster, meaning that they can't always attain their final forms very fast. If they consume enough items, they can evolve into Super Ganma-types, which allow them to gain silver armor and access to various powers from the Ghost world. Bugster-type: A variant that is spread as a disease. It typically combines a video game genre with a certain kind of illness, infecting victims so that they show similar symptoms to whatever it is themed after. They can also summon minions from the infected. If enough of their victims are healed, however, it starts to lose minions and power at a fast rate. If it manages to kill or incapacitate enough people with its infection, it can become a Union Bugster-type, which allows them to take a form that spreads their disease faster, and spawn higher power minions. Conglomerate-type: A fusion of any two types, gaining their strengths and weaknesses. Decade DiLoaders can be used to increase the power of Conglomerate-types, but this can backfire and cause an overload into a mutated form. Higher-ups in the organization tend to turn themselves into Conglomerate-types when they have to fight.

To The Sky
Seto Yutaka/Mimura Shinji Battle Royale 12000~ words. Sfw.
Yutaka Seto is just an ordinary human trying to find his place in the world after a tragedy reshapes the way he looks at life. Shinji is not a human, not ordinary, and more than ready to reshape Yutaka’s life to better his own. The Greeed are monsters formed by human desire and will consume everything in their path if nobody stops them. Yutaka has the will and Shinji has the power. Of course, things are always so much more complicated than that. A crossover with Kamen Rider OOO.
He learns earlier on that humans are creatures not to be trusted.
Truth be told, he doesn’t choose to assist him because he trusts him in the first place, but he wants an assured place by his side, a chance to reign strong and powerful for the rest of his life. Even with the burning desire overcoming his logic and pushing him to destroy the very people who viewed him as both a treacherous beast and a magnificent god, he would have been content. Even with his tenth medal removed from his body, even with his place as the King of the Birds ripped from his grasp for something as ridiculous as power, he would have been content.
Shinji would have done anything to live out the rest of his life in whatever niche of the world he could carve out for himself.
That means placing his hand in the hand of the man who ripped the tenth medal from his body, who turned him into the wretch he would become. That means believing that he could put faith in a living being for the first time in his entire life. The only living creatures he had ever trusted had been his feathered brethren, and this by and large has not changed.
He does not trust the King, but he believes in him because he has to.
As a Greeed, he should have known that the King’s lust for power would grow too strong for him to avoid for long. Still, when the familiar hand punches through his chest, taking his breath away with it, he is almost brought to his knees in shock. Pain resonates through every medal in his body, and a metallic taste coats the inside of his mouth. If Greeed could bleed, he would be coughing up crimson as his organs were crushed from within.
“You have served me well,” the King informs him even as Shinji wavers on his feet, his entire body singing with agony at the pressure in his chest, the searching fingers finding the very core of his being. His red medals, ringed with gold. “And you have fulfilled your end of the bargain just as you said you would.”
“Why?” The single word is all he can muster the strength for, his vision blurring, the seams of his body beginning to fray. Without his medals, he cannot possibly hold himself together for long.
The King smiles at him, and the hand within his chest twists so that the pain is tenfold and Shinji can feel the edges of the world darkening, can feel the muscles in his legs weakening. “Because I crave power, and you are all that stands in my way.”
When the King rips the medals from his body, Shinji’s entire being begins to dissolve. It’s with all he has left in him that he sends one of his own arms forward even as the King prepares a Scanning Charge with his beloved TaToBa combo.
For hundreds of years after, there is darkness.
Yutaka Seto had only wanted to fulfill the duties of this particular part time job so he would have a little extra cash on his person. He did not expect to find a bright red medal on the floor, he did not expect to be assaulted by a talking disembodied hand, and he did not expect to be forced into becoming a being far stronger than any human could ever hope to be. But at the insistence of the hand— Seriously, since when do hands talk?— He had done as he was asked.
Besides, he has always wanted to help people. This disgusting bug monster, whatever it is, is scaring people, frightening people, hurting people, so it only feels natural to step in and stop the beast from hurting anyone else. Even if that means taking orders from a talking hand and having some strange stone become a metallic belt around his waist.
He doesn’t have a chance to check on the detective who had been so kind to him about the entire situation with the museum blowing up. And he still feels partially responsible for that considering he was supposed to be one of the guards on duty that night. By the time he’s cancelled his transformation into whatever that had been, by the time he spots the detective’s lifeless body lying on the asphalt, it is far too late. He can feel that in his bones.
“I can use this body,” the arm informs him, and he watches in disbelief as the arm attaches itself to the detective, as his dark hair suddenly burns a strange dark gold. The man who stands before him looks like the detective, but that isn’t quite right either, because his face is subtly different, and his entire attitude is a mismatch. “You are staring at me.”
Yutaka throws his hands up in the air. “You’re a talking hand! I think I have the right to stare.”
“My name is Shinji.” The man— hand— whatever he is walks dangerously close to Yutaka, and every inch of his body exudes danger. In an ideal world, this is someone Yutaka would have been able to avoid at all costs.
“Shinji,” Yutaka repeats slowly. “I’m Yutaka Seto. Just what the hell is going on?”
Shinji ignores him, rolling his shoulders, cracking his neck. “I must have a talent for this. I haven’t been around your kind for eight hundred years and yet I was able to pick the second OOO all on my own. You should feel lucky you were able to withstand the strain.”
“Is the detective okay?” Yutaka demands.
“He will be as long as I’m using his body. Consider yourself lucky I like it well enough to keep it.” Shinji grasps the collar of Yutaka’s shirt in his hand, only it goes from being a normal human hand to a rainbow-hued set of claws within seconds. “You will fight with me.”
Yutaka would argue, but he wants to keep people safe. It’s all he wants. “I’ll do my best,” he says.
The suggestion, to the surprise of no one, Ryuhei’s. It had taken him very little observation to realize that Shinji had an advantage over them with his rapidly growing knowledge of the human world. For the first time, Ryuhei is forced to admire him. He was able to assimilate well enough into the human population to find a way to work with them, using their technology to his advantage and even finding the human capable of becoming the second OOO.
That is an obstacle that even Ryuhei did not believe him capable of overcoming, not when the King had been there the entire time. And it was true that Shinji had aligned himself with him, but Ryuhei would have expected Shinji to veer sharply away from anyone capable of holding that power once again. After all, it was that thirst for power that led to their sealing in the first place.
The human form he chooses is hardly one that would draw attention to itself, and he rather likes that fact. The lack of height will be a problem he will have to deal with, but as he combs his fingers through his long silvery gold hair, he realizes it feels not unlike the tendrils that snake down his back in his Greeed form.
“Is everyone satisfied with their bodies then?” he asks, eyeing where Sho sits perched on the bar, an atrocious green leather jacket outlining the broadness of his shoulders.
“This one will have to do,” Sho informs him, studying his reflection in a small mirror in his hands. “It isn’t anything quite as magnificent as my true form, but it’s satisfactory enough.”
“I rather like this form. It has its charms.” Sakura lounges on a worn chair, running her fingers through her short hair, while Kazuhiko lounges with his head in her lap, looking perfectly at home. “Kazuhiko likes his, too, I believe. Don’t you?”
He smiles up at her, taking her hand in his and pressing a kiss to her knuckles. “I do.”
“These bodies will give us a chance to observe human beings without being easily detected, and it should be easy to create Yummies when we don’t look out of place.” Ryuhei’s mind is already whirring into action with the many things they can accomplish with these bodies. “One way or another, we will defeat Shinji and get our Core Medals back.”
Sakura clicks her tongue at him. “We’ve resurrected with a low number of Cell Medals as well. Shall I make a Yummy for us to feast on while we wait?”
“Hmm…” Ryuhei weighs the pros and cons in his head rapidly before giving her a short nod. “Yes, that would benefit us and it should challenge them. It was one thing for OOO to deal with a single Yummy. He might not be able to handle the way that yours evolve.”
Sakura’s smile is razor sharp as her body glitters silver before solidifying as her true Greeed form, the very personification of the sea. “I’ll return shortly, then.”
“Haven’t you had enough of those already?” Yutaka asks, eyeing the popsicle in Shinji’s hand as he arranges the crimson satin over the top of the bunk beds, tucking it here and loosening it there, making little noises in the back of his throat as he works. “You know, Shuya’s body is going to need more than just sweets to heal. You can’t just feed him this garbage.”
Shinji clicks his tongue at him, brandishing the popsicle at Yutaka’s face. “You don’t tell me what to do. I don’t take orders from you, human.”
“I’m not ordering you to do anything, and it’s not “human.” It’s “Yutaka,” and if you want me to be your partner, you’re going to have to get used to calling me by name,” Yutaka says firmly. “This isn’t your body. You’re just borrowing it, right? So treat it nicely. For Noriko’s sake.”
“I don’t like that girl,” Shinji mutters before sticking his popsicle in his mouth.
The comment makes Yutaka frown. As far as he’s concerned, Noriko has been nothing but gracious to them even after she found out that an inhuman entity had taken control of her brother’s nearly-dead body. Shuya had almost died in the crash caused by the Yummy that Yutaka had fought first, and Shinji stepping in had saved him, but of course it had a cost. He’s been nothing but rude, even though Noriko had even helped Yutaka find some temporary employment here. The orphanage, ran by a lovely woman named Ryoko, would have been out of his reach if Noriko had not all but begged for them to have somewhere to stay.
The work is good as far as Yutaka is concerned. He loves children, and it’ll give him a chance to earn some money until he’s prepared to travel once again. It eases the ache in his chest just a little, makes the face so vivid in his memory feel a little less painful to gaze upon. And it’s difficult not to when her face is on the inside of his eyelids every time he goes to sleep.
“You have to be nice to the children, too,” Yutaka insists, frowning when Shinji just rolls his eyes. “No, don’t do that. You’re lucky to have found me, and we’re lucky to have found this. You need to learn to be grateful for the things you have. Including that body.”
Shinji’s hand when he grips Yutaka by the front of his shirt is once again clawed and scaled, his eyes burning as he leans down so they’re face-to-face. “Fine. I will consider eating something that is not popsicles today. But I make no promises about the children.”
“Then just stay away from them,” Yutaka suggests.
This time, Shinji releases him and turns stiffly around. “Fine with me. I was never cut out to raise nestlings in the first place.”
Something in his voice makes Yutaka wonder if he might be lying.
The thing is, Shinji doesn’t think the human’s body can handle the strain. Even the King had shown signs of fatigue when faced with the true Combos, and Gatakiriba is a particularly difficult one to master. Sho’s Core Medals have always been a little stronger and a little tougher than, say, Sakura’s or Kazuhiko’s, and so Shinji was certain that as soon as the green medals synced together, Yutaka would drop faster than anything else. So he’s pleasantly surprised when the human doesn’t immediately drop and, in fact, performs the Scanning Charge.
It’s one thing to use the final, most powerful Scanning Charge with mismatched medals. Even TaToBa, despite being such a flawless multicolor combo, is hardly as powerful as any of the others. But Yutaka does it just the same, and Shinji has to shield his eyes from the flash of green light that nearly blinds him.
It doesn’t surprise him, then, when Yutaka falls to the ground as soon as the transformation is broken. It doesn’t matter so much, considering they’ve won this battle, but Shinji curses and hurries to his side just the same. He can’t let something happen to the human he’s using.
“That was really something,” Yutaka says, sprawled out on the concrete, exhaustion clear in his eyes. “Are they all that powerful, then?”
“Tch. I should have warned you previously but I would have thought you were smart enough to pick up on the reason why we were mixing the Core Medals in the first place. I expect too much out of humanity even with all of your technological advances.” Just the same, Shinji offers his hand, and when Yutaka takes it, he grips his hand firmly and pulls him to his feet. He’s at the perfect height to ruffle Yutaka’s hair. “Still, you were able to stand it. Congratulations.”
Yutaka wavers on his feet for just a moment before he gets his footing once again, curiosity alight in his eyes. “What is your Core Medal combo like, then?”
Before Shinji can answer, Noriko interrupts them, throwing her arms around Yutaka and squeezing him tightly. Almost too tightly. “Thank goodness you’re all right. I thought you were hurt when you fell down. Are you okay?”
“A little worn out, but I’m otherwise fine,” Yutaka assures her, and the soft smile he gives her makes Shinji roll his eyes, twisting himself away from them.
“He was exhausted by the toll it took on his body to bear a more powerful combo than the one he is used to. That is all.” He snaps the words, ignoring the disapproving sound Noriko makes behind him. “Once he’s used to using them, it will take very little for him to learn to maximize their potential. Let’s go. There’s no reason to hang around here.”
“Wait just a minute,” Noriko calls out. “Yutaka’s tired. We can’t just hurry away—”
“I don’t care if he’s tired.” Shinji whirls around, giving her the full force of his glare. “He’s a tool, nothing more. Now let’s go.”
He pretends to miss the flash of hurt in Yutaka’s eyes.
Kyoichi Motobuchi is an interesting human being. Most of them have been rather dull, and though Ryuhei has found the new OOO interesting, he is an opponent to be defeated and not someone to be observed closely. Shinji can sense their presence, can sense the Yummies they make to replenish themselves, but Kyoichi is much more interesting anyway. The strange painting in his office depicting the end of the world draws Ryuhei’s interest the first time he appears in the room, startling the good doctor quite badly, which only amuses him.
This time when he appears, hovering over Kyoichi’s shoulder, the man hardly glances back at him, more focused on the work in front of him. “What do you want this time, Greeed?”
“How rude you are even after I’ve given you my name. I came here to offer you something, so I thought you might be interested in what I have for you.” Ryuhei waits for Kyoichi to turn around, not surprised to see the quizzical glance being sent to him from over the top of a pair of glasses. “You want Core Medals, yes? You have your own plan for all of this.”
Kyoichi is silent for a good, long moment. “That I do.”
“Your picture is very obvious in more ways than one.” Ryuhei admires the painting for a moment before leaning closer to the doctor, pleased when he does not shrink away. “I want the same. Core Medals. Mine, in particular. I don’t necessarily care what I have to do to get them.”
Silence stretches between them before Kyoichi spins his chair fully around, tenting his fingers in front of him, tilting his head back as if to observe Ryuhei’s expression. “You cannot possibly understand the scope of my vision for the future. It is simply beyond your imagining.”
“The end of the world, as it is, is what you desire. That, I can give to you. Fully restored, I would have the power to consume everything.” Ryuhei smirks. After all, it’s in the very nature of a Greeed to consume everything before them.
“Full restoration would not give me what I seek. I would need you to be willing to do more than that,” Kyoichi says, already turning back around. He’s done with this meeting, then.
Ryuhei walks around in front of him, perching on the edge of his desk, picking up one of the many Cell Medals littering his crowded desk. “If you need a Greeed willing to become more than itself… A monster of sorts… I will do that for you.”
“Even if it means losing yourself in the process?” Kyoichi asks.
Ryuhei sniffs. “I won’t. I have no intention to do such a thing. But I will help you as you need, and I will get you the pieces you need to make your vision come to life. No one else is offering you this. My brethren won’t come to your aid. Will you accept my offer?”
Kyoichi is quiet for a moment. “I suppose it will have to do.”
The man who emerges from the strange suit is nothing like Yutaka expects him to be, and from the way Shinji shifts next to him, folding and unfolding and refolding his arms, he clearly was not expecting to see this either. The man who stands before them is rough around the edges, a scar bisecting his eyebrow, and more scars peeking from beneath the sleeves of his t-shirt. It’s unusual to see such a man involved in this situation, and stranger still when he hands them a manual, the cover announcing him as Kamen Rider Birth.
“Who are you, exactly?” Yutaka asks, flipping through the manual uncertainly.
“My name is Shogo Kawada,” the man says, his Kansai accent impossible to ignore, and Shinji makes a noise at the sound of it. “I’m here to fight the Yummies and collect the Cell Medals. A simple enough concept to grasp, I would think.”
“Are you implying we’re too stupid to understand something that simple?” Shinji demands.
Shogo rolls his eyes. “I can see how this one is right out of the gate,” he says before turning his attention fully to Yutaka. “I’m not trying to make this harder than it has to be. I’m getting a commission for the medals I bring in. My goal is to bring in a hundred million.”
“That much,” Yutaka says, eyes widening, astounded by the number. What could a man like Shogo need with all of that money? He hardly seems the type to want it…
“That much,” Shogo agrees with a nod. “So I’ll be taking all of the medals from our battles and sending them back to the Hayashida Foundation. Understood?”
Shinji makes an offended noise, stepping forward, almost pushing himself against Shogo’s chest in the process. “I’d like to see you try. You’ll be fighting to get them away from me, and I’m not going to let you just take them from me whether you like it or not.”
Yutaka’s gaze moves when he sees movement out of the corner of his eye, and he leaves the two to argue as he hurries to catch up with Hiroki Sugimura. The Hayashida Foundation employee has butted heads with them more than once, and he’s almost injured Yutaka more than once trying to fight, but he knows someone in trouble when he sees them.
“Hiroki, wait,” he calls out. “What’s wrong?”
Hiroki stops for just a moment, then turns around and fixes Yutaka with an almost helpless smile. “That’s the kind of man who can fight alongside you and protect the world. It’s not me. It’s never been me no matter how badly I wanted it. I’ve seen enough. I need to do some thinking.”
Yutaka stands and watches him board his bike and leave, not sure what to say. He can hear Shinji and Shogo arguing behind him and sighs, turning around to put out the fire before it can climb any higher than it already has.
The last time Shinji had seen his combo in the hands of a human, it had been the man who ripped the Core Medals from his chest and nearly ended his life when he was at the height of his power. When Yutaka had asked him about this combo, he had been mercifully spared from having to tell him anything about it; the truth of the matter is that it feels too intimate and too personal to share this combo with Yutaka. The man is nothing but a tool for Shinji to regain his former glory, and this is not exactly how he wanted to do it.
But the moment Yutaka places the three medals into his belt and scans the combo, even Shinji finds himself momentarily brought to his knees even if it is only figuratively. He stumbles for just a moment to watch the peacock’s tail of flaming feathers arrive, to watch OOO take to the sky with wings of fire. To watch Yutaka make use of the power that once belonged to him, and to use it so effectively… Shinji is not sure how to feel or how to process this.
Of course, it does not surprise him when Yutaka immediately falls as soon as the transformation is cancelled, and this time Shinji finds himself bolting to the man’s side, helping him sit up. “Are you okay? That was incredibly too risky.”
“I never would have guessed it was like that,” Yutaka says, and the way he looks up at Shinji makes the Greeed cringe away from him. “You were really that powerful.”
“And I will be again if you help me collect all of my Core Medals,” he says, trying to deflect the conversation before it can happen. This is the last thing he wants to discuss.
But Yutaka refuses to let it go and fists a hand in Shinji’s jacket, though his grip is weak and shaky, his strength diluted from how hard he had to fight. “You… Must have been amazing back then. I can’t imagine how he could have… How anyone could have turned on you, and—”
“You’ve said too much,” Shinji snaps, cutting the conversation off before it can begin.
But Yutaka only scowls at him and gives his shirt a weak tug. “Don’t interrupt me when I’m trying to talk to you. I… Look, I know you don’t trust me. I get it. You don’t trust humans because of what happened back then. I don’t really think that I can blame you for that, and I’m not going to. I get it now. You had all of that taken away from—”
Shinji shoves him away, pushing himself to his feet. He was stupid to try to help him. “You’ll never understand what it’s like to be me.”
“Maybe not,” Yutaka says, and only the soft tone of his voice stalls Shinji’s angry footsteps. “But now that I see what you’re fighting for, it’s inspired me to fight that much harder to help you get it back. No matter what it takes, Shinji, I promise you.”
He wants to trust Yutaka. It’s his most damning flaw of all.
Logically speaking, he knows this is only the power of the Yummy in effect, and he knows that Kawada is the exception to the rule and not proof that the charm only affects certain people. Every mortal who has seen the woman has fallen for her, and Shinji knows it is normal that Yutaka is not immune to the woman’s charms. That being said, nothing stops his furious pacing across their shared bedroom floor while he listens to Yutaka crooning to Noriko and Ryoko, who have done their best to humor his fledgling infatuation.
Kawada finds him pacing the room and watches with an amused expression from the doorway. “You know that he isn’t really interested in Izumi, right? It’s just the Yummy that’s giving her the power of beauty. He doesn’t really like her, Shinj.”
“It’s Shinji. You have no right to call me anything but that.” Shinji whirls on him, his skin itching, his fists curling with the desire to hit something. “As far as I’m concerned, this is all your fault. That woman is involved with you. We would have had no business with her otherwise.”
“The Yummy is what’s caused this, you know. You would have had to involve yourselves and this would have happened no matter what,” Kawada snaps right back.
A low growl rises in the back of Shinji’s throat. “I should find the woman myself and kill her to rid him of anything to do with his attraction to her. It might be enough to set him free from the spell and enable him to fight. Damn you, how can he possibly fight like this? He’s useless to me.”
“You don’t mean that, I know you don’t. You would have abandoned him the moment you thought he was truly useless, taken the belt and the Core Medals, and left him here to rot.” Kawada catches him by the front of his jacket and hauls him in close, and Shinji glares full in his face, unafraid of the consequences. “You’re upset because he’s got a fuckin’ crush that was caused by a Yummy. You’re jealous, Shinj. And you aren’t used to it.”
Shinji scoffs at him. “What in the world would I have to be jealous about?”
“You should be smart enough to figure that out without me having to spell it out in black and white to you, you know. Nothing about this has ever been difficult. You just made it that way.” Kawada pushes him back and Shinji runs his hands down his front, smoothing his jacket. “Hold out for the end of this, all right? He’ll be back to his old self as soon as this Yummy is defeated, and it’s got one of my friends under its hold, so I’m not gonna let it win.”
“Fine.” Shinji huffs. “I guess I don’t have a choice.”
Yutaka pursues him long after they have returned home, dodging around children that reach toward him with eager hands, wanting to play after he’s been gone for so long. Some of them are still insistent on reaching for Shinji, but he brushes them off without a second glance. The tense set of his shoulders and the jerky movements of his steps say more about him than any words he’s spoken so far. When has Shinji ever looked so odd before?
“I don’t understand,” Yutaka finally says once they’ve reached the backyard, grabbing Shinji by the shoulder. He makes no move to turn him around, knowing all too well what happened the last time he did that when Shinji was angry. Noriko had been furious as she stitched up his shirt. “You said you wanted a complete and stronger body, right?”
Shinji says nothing at first, though the shoulder beneath Yutaka’s hand is stiff and unyielding in more ways than one. Only when Yutaka squeezes his shoulder as tightly as possible does Shinji finally turn to look at him. “That is what I want. It’s my end goal. My everything.”
“Then why do you only look dissatisfied no matter how many steps we take to get to that goal? I’m doing my best for you. I’m just one person against four Greeed,” Yutaka says. He knows his voice is close to a whine now, but the constant fighting has left him exhausted. If he had not sworn to help Shinji regain his former glory, he isn’t sure he could keep fighting.
He wants to save the world if he can. He understands Hiroki’s desire to do the same from a very personal standpoint. But Shinji is here and immediate and every day he lives in Shuya’s body is just another chance that Yutaka can’t return him to Noriko like he promised.
Shinji shakes his head and lowers himself into one of the outdoor chairs, resting his head in his hands. “I just want to regain my body. You promised me that would be possible. As long as you give me your body to fight, I will ask nothing else of you.”
The silence between the two of them is heavy, a dark cloud hanging over Yutaka’s head and leaving him unable to figure out what he is supposed to say to disperse it. Something in the set of Shinji’s shoulders feels defeated even though there is no reason for them to feel defeated right now. Instead, they should feel elated. Every step backward has only been met with steps forward and as long as the two of them continue to fight, they will overcome. Yutaka knows this better than anyone.
In the end, he goes back inside and leaves Shinji to his thoughts. He would stay by his side, but he knows that isn’t his place. He’s just the human who swore to stay by Shinji’s side; Shinji never really wanted him there.
The finer details of their partnership have been interesting to explore, at least from Ryuhei’s side of the bargain. Kyoichi is unlike the other humans he has met, far removed from any true sense of humanity. In fact, he would rather see it all destroyed and be here at the end of all things to traverse the wasteland left behind until he too deteriorates and fades into nothingness. Personally, Ryuhei cannot see the satisfaction that can come from such a thing, but as he has been reminded, he isn’t mortal, and he doesn’t have a way to wrap his mind around the various intricacies of life that Kyoichi supposedly has.
At least, this is what he tells Ryuhei when the conversation veers into that direction. He’s an interesting human to observe, even when Ryuhei has to watch from a distance when Kawada returns to the lab to bother Kyoichi. The two of them could not be any different, Kawada’s friendly and invasive nature keeping Kyoichi’s anxious and stressed self off balance as often as possible. Ryuhei doesn’t know why Kyoichi still bothers to work alongside him.
“I’d like to know what you want in life,” he says when the two of them are alone, flipping a Cell Medal up into the air, watching it spin blurring silver before landing back in his palm. He wonders how a human’s vision must differentiate from his. His human form is merely an extension of his power. He doesn’t possess human senses like Shinji.
Kyoichi doesn’t look up from his computer screen, fingers dancing across the keys, hardly sparing Ryuhei so much as a glance. “You know that I want. We have already discussed it previously. There is nothing more for you to learn.”
“Human desires interest me. The scope of them, the range, the core… It’s a fascinating existence to lead, being human, isn’t it? I wonder what such a thing must be like.” Ryuhei catches the medal when it comes back down, squeezing it tight between his fingers. “You lead long and confusing lives with so many layers of memories. Sometimes it seems boring to me, but it spawns such interesting desires. I can’t help but be interested by the complexity.”
Something in his words must tell Kyoichi that something is about to happen, but by the time he turns around to face Ryuhei properly, the coin slot has already appeared in his forehead. Without a moment of hesitation, Ryuhei tosses the coin, watching it clink into place, watching the Yummy stumble forth from Kyoichi’s body and make its way into the world.
“Why did you do that?” Kyoichi asks coolly.
“All a matter of observation. I want to see what you desire in your heart of hearts, and to do so, I’m going to watch that Yummy very carefully.” Ryuhei cocks his head, offering a fang-toothed smile. “After all, we’re partners, aren’t we?”
“You never told me why your kind exist, you know,” Yutaka tells Shinji one day, balancing one toddler on his hip while an older girl clings to his leg, her cheek pressed against his pants. Shinji himself has an older boy perched on his back, and Yutaka tries not to think about how much Shinji has overcome his own issues in order to grow closer to the children. He’s almost a natural, as strange as it seems.
“The Greeed?” Shinji frowns at him. “I told you about the King, didn’t I?”
Yutaka nods. “You told me that he took your Core Medals and became the first OOO. But you’ve never really said why. Is there a reason why the Greeed were created?”
Understanding dawns on Shinji’s features and he nods, smiling as a young girl brings him one of his popsicles from the freezer, holding one in her own hand. She doesn’t shy away from Shinji’s Greeed arm at all when it’s revealed, just runs her fingers over the feathers along his forearm before hurrying off to play with the others. Shinji has become an integral part of the orphanage, has tended to the children with a tenderness that Yutaka did not believe possible of him. That more than anything makes him want to know why anyone would take someone who seems as kind as Shinji has become and turn them in a monster.
Shinji unwraps his popsicle thoughtfully, taking a lick of it before addressing Yutaka’s question. “Because the King wanted to become a god, and he wanted our powers to do it.”
That should be less surprising than it is. “I’m sorry. You didn’t deserve to have that happen.”
“If we had met in a different life, I think you might have actually liked me,” Shinji muses before hefting the boy a bit higher on his back. “I promised this one and his friends that I would play with them today, and I haven’t sensed a Yummy just yet, so I’m going to make good on my promise. Noriko said something about you going shopping with her.”
Yutaka nods and watches Shinji leave the house, his arms hanging by his sides. He’s startled when Noriko walks up to him and pats him on the shoulder. “What is it?”
Noriko cocks her head at him. “Something is wrong, isn’t it?”
“I just…” He waves his hand toward where the door is, knowing he doesn’t need to specify who this conversation is about. Noriko just knows. “He said I might have liked him if I’d met him before he became a Greeed.”
“And?” Noriko presses, raising her eyebrows at him. “What’s so wrong with saying that?”
Yutaka smiles bitterly. He would have thought he had made it perfectly obvious to everyone by this point. “Nori… How am I supposed to tell him that I like him just the way he is right now?”
Noriko says nothing, just sways closer to him and wraps her arms around his waist.
“I finally realized why you seemed so familiar to me,” Shogo tells him when he comes over to play with the kids. Though he keeps insisting he doesn’t like children, that hasn’t stopped him from showing up periodically to play with the orphans.
This afternoon, Hiroki has come with him. The two of them make an effective team in battle with Hiroki providing the perfect back-up that Shogo needs to do his job as Birth, and though Shinji still turns up his nose at their help and hates that they take the medals he needs to replenish his body, Yutaka is glad to have them here. Having their help has been vital to this mission. All Yutaka wants to do is help people, and Shogo needs money. Their goals have at least intersected their missions, and Yutaka is more than grateful.
That being said, Shogo’s words make his stomach tighten and then drop. “I was afraid someone would recognize me after a while.”
“Getting held for a ransom in the middle of a civil war only to have your parents use the tragedy of the deaths of people you were friends with to further their career in politics…” Shogo trails off and Yutaka clenches his fists. “I wish I could tell you just how sorry I am, Seto.”
Yutaka laughs even as tears sting the backs of his eyes. “No one can ever really fix it anyway, you know. They’d still be dead no matter what. I couldn’t… I couldn’t save them.”
“I know that. And I wouldn’t have expected that of you. Some things are too great for the shoulders of one man, after all.” Shogo stretches out a hand and squeezes Yutaka’s shoulder, and Yutaka shrugs it off. “If I’ve crossed a line, then I’m sorry.”
Yutaka could explain to him that he’s already crossed all of the acceptable lines that he could have set just by bringing the memory up. He’s been doing his best to distance himself from his parents entirely, not wanting anything to do with his family after that incident. He knows he should be grateful that they saved him when they did, but he can’t feel anything but anger at the people who tried to use his pain for personal gain. Lives were lost that day. The first friend he’d made in that village, the little girl who was so kind to him—
There’s nothing he can do to change it all. All he can do is keep fighting onward.
Shogo touches his shoulder again, and this time, Yutaka doesn’t shrug him off. “Does Shinji know what happened, or are you keeping it from him?”
“Why would it matter if he knew or not? You know I’m just a tool to him, something to be used and discarded when it’s no longer of any use to him.” His words even make himself wince, and he feels bad saying this about the Greeed who is right now tumbling with children in the grass, but he can’t help himself. It’s just the truth.
Shogo sighs. “Whatever you say, kid.”
Kyoichi turning on them and joining forces with Ryuhei is not as surprising to Shinji as it is to everyone else. What does surprise him is the purple Core Medals, the likes of which he has never seen in his entire life. And he only sees them for a bare breath of an instant before they enter Yutaka’s body, fusing with him in the same way that Shinji’s Core Medals rest within his body. The sight frightens him to his very core, the fact that the human who has fought so hard to help him has now been tainted by something so strange and foreign.
Yutaka is a human. Core Medals should not be able to assimilate within his body. Surely this has to be a trap. And Shinji does not remember such medals, and he would if they had existed when he did. He would have remembered their peculiar color, and moreover, he would have known if there was another Greeed in the world. Where is the Greeed to whom these medals must call, and what would that Greeed do to gain them back?
PuToTyra is somehow more terrifying than the fact that Yutaka has medals inside of him, inside of him where they should never be. Shinji wants to demand to know what the fuck Kyoichi had done to Yutaka, giving him these medals, but he is afraid to find out why. He is afraid to learn of what will become of Yutaka.
The fact he has no control as PuToTyra is bad. Worse is the way he wanders around the orphanage that night, his eyes hollow, something oddly electric about the air around him. Without thinking about it, Shinji pulls him close from behind, pressing his face into Yutaka’s hair and wondering what those Medals must be doing inside of him right now. Are they setting into his skin, his bones, content with their place here? Is there any hope of removing them?
“What are you doing?” Yutaka asks him, swaying dangerously in his arms.
“You’re exhausted and you need to rest,” Shinji tells him, whispering the words into his hair. “If you don’t rest, you’ll collapse. I don’t know what those are, but they’ve taken a toll on you.”
Yutaka laughs, though the sound is frenzied and without humor. “How can you possibly last with these things inside of you? What kind of life is this to live?”
“I wish I could give you an answer, but I’ve never been human, Yutaka. I’m just… Just this. Just medals.” Shinji hugs Yutaka tighter, wishes for his wings so that he could keep Yutaka warm when he detects the chill in the human’s skin. “We’ll figure this out somehow. I promise you that.”
Yutaka turns around in his arms, his own snaking around Shinji’s waist, and nothing more is said. The two of them stand in the dark kitchen, the only light in the room the moonlight slanting in through the windows. This is all Shinji has to offer Yutaka. He can only hope it’ll be enough until they figure out where to go from here.
“You can’t possibly think the three of you can stand against us,” Ryuhei says softly, his eyes wandering between Sakura and Kazuhiko. He had thought the two of them might be dead when they had combined and then collapsed, beaten by the Kamen Rider nuisances. Seeing them again in the flesh is disconcerting. Can they sense their Core Medals beneath his skin, already assimilated to work with his own? He’s evolved, but can they tell?
Sakura props a hand on her hip, her eyes narrowed at him. “I don’t know why we would trust you, either. You let us die once, Ryuhei. You’re well-known for turning on those who are no longer of any use to you.”
“That’s true enough, but the two of you could be very useful toward helping Kyoichi and I accomplish our goals,” Ryuhei muses, smirking when he sees the way Sho’s eye twitches at the words. Has Sho told Sakura and Kazuhiko the extent of his betrayal? “Sho cannot possibly get you what you want. I can. I have much more to offer you.”
Sho scoffs and takes a step forward, his aura pulsing with annoyance. The air around him bleeds green and Ryuhei tenses, prepared to fight him if he must. “Do you really think anyone is going to trust you after what you’ve done? You’re a traitor just like Shinji.”
“Very well. I suppose playing my trump card will have to do.” Ryuhei retrieves the two Core Medals he’s been keeping on his person. After all, taking too many within his person will only result in him falling apart, and though that is what Kyoichi wants, they’re going to do things his way until the very end. “I have these. What does Sho have to offer you?”
Sakura and Kazuhiko’s powers twined with his are no match for Sho to stand up against, and maybe he truly believed no one would betray him again. But the flames fill the alley way, a clear sign he should have been more cautious. Ryuhei clicks his tongue, examining the green Core Medals in his palms before tossing Sakura and Kazuhiko their Core Medals.
“We were lost twice now,” Sakura tells him. “We don’t want to be lost once again.”
Ryuhei smiles thinly at her, slipping Sho’s Core Medals into his pocket. “Well, then, you’ve come to the right place. Come back to the mansion with me, now. Kyoichi will be thrilled to find out we have more help to accomplish our end goal.”
Truth be told, he doubts Kyoichi wants more people in his home, but once he realizes these two are carrying Core Medals, he will see the use for them.  Ryuhei will make him realize it one way or another, just like always.
To describe what Hiroki feels as devastation would be too light of a way to frame the situation; Shogo’s betrayal and defection to Kyoichi’s side leaves him uncertain of where to go from here. After all, the two of them had been friends. They had been close, able to confide in one another, or at least Hiroki had felt comfortable confiding in Shogo. Perhaps everything he had confessed, perhaps all of the pain he had let free to the older man is just an elaborate lie.
That doesn’t stop him from fighting for him just the same, fighting to make him realize the truth, unable to leave him behind, unable to let him suffer. He had promised not to let him become what he was now when he found out the truth of Shogo’s injury, about the bullet embedded in his scalp. He had promised not to let Shogo die, and in the end, Shogo becoming this kind of man is a death in and of itself. Hiroki is determined to save him.
Becoming Birth for the first time should have been a moment to be proud of. Even if it was simply a suit manufactured through the Hayashida Foundation instead of some magic created from alchemy, Hiroki had seen it as his end goal in life. They all had their desires. Shinji wanted his body, Shogo wanted his one hundred million dollars, and Hiroki wanted to save the world.
But donning the Birth suit for the first time is a means to an end. There is nothing to be proud of in this moment as he fights for the first time, intent on being the man Shogo could not end up being in the end. He had promised to protect the world, after all.
Of course, Shogo is fine. And alive and well, despite his injuries. Between defecting to Kyoichi and receiving an injury coverage from the Foundation, he has his money. To get surgery, and to create a hopsital in Africa to help the sick and needy down there.
Hiroki feels foolish for ever doubting him. “I won’t even bother asking for forgiveness. It’s just as well if you don’t give it to me.”
“You don’t have to ask. I played you, remember?” Shogo looks out of place in Hiroki’s apartment but he makes himself right at home, sidling up next to Hiroki on the couch. “Are you going to miss me when I go get the surgery done?”
Of course, Hiroki scoffs. “I would always miss you no matter where you went.”
“Then do me a favor.” Shogo cradles the side of his face, brings their lips together as he has so many times before, Hiroki afraid to do the deed himself. “Wait for me.”
“You don’t have to ask. I’ll wait for you.” Hiroki presses their foreheads together, thinks of the volumes of words he wishes he could utters and instead settles on a small smile, nudging his nose against Shogo’s. “I won’t say goodbye because I will see you again.”
Shogo beams at him. “It’s a promise, Sugimura-chan.”
He is the one who tells Noriko that if she had asked him of it when the time had arisen, he would have kicked Shinji out of Shuya’s body. With the purple Core Medals, he is more than certain he could easily remove Shinji from Shuya’s body and allow Shuya to live his life. After all, seeing Shuya walking around and spending time with his sister again only reinforces the belief that Yutaka has been carrying with him for far too long. Shuya deserves to have a life, and Noriko deserves her peaceful life with her brother. All any of them have done is jeopardize that.
He told Noriko he would rip Shinji from Shuya’s body, but to see Shinji absorbed away by the mannequin of his body is still horrifying and painful. And it’s enough to make Yutaka strive to rescue him before the mind that now runs the body can consume Shinji as well.
His body had been mummified when his mind had been sealed away with the other Greeed, and as a result, the body had wandered, developing a mind of its own, believing itself to be the true Shinji. It seems unfair that the first time Yutaka sees Shinji’s Greeed form, it’s with someone else beneath the feathers and skin. He wanted to see Shinji for who he truly was.
It doesn’t end up mattering. The fake Shinji is no match for PuToTyra, and Yutaka marvels at the sight of Shinji’s rainbow wings flared wide from behind his back. They’re shifting in the sunlight and beautiful. And of course, Shinji properly ruins the moment.
“What is he doing?” Noriko shrieks when Shinji advances on Shuya.
Yutaka tries to intercept them, but he’s so worn out there is little he can do. He can’t beat Shinji’s speed, after all. “Shinji, please, don’t do this!”
“I need this body for a while longer,” he hears Shinji tell Shuya as he wraps his hand around his throat and squeezes, his claws strong enough to cut off Shuya’s air supply in no time. “And so I’m only going to ask this nicely one time. Get out of this body and give it back to me.”
“You can’t do this!” Yutaka’s eyes are wet, tears gushing down his cheeks as he watches Shuya struggle, his legs kicking in the air as his face turns blue. “Stop it before you kill him!”
The moment Shuya loses consciousness, Shinji immediately reattaches himself, and his wings flare out once again, the gust knocking Yutaka back on weak and trembling legs. “I don’t believe you are in a fit state to argue against me, human.”
“After everything I did to give you your body back, after fighting against your double…” Yutaka falls to his knees at a loss for words, his emotions fraught, the PuToTyra medals trembling within his core. “Shinji, how could you do this?”
Shinji merely takes to the skies and Yutaka watches him go, helpless to stop him.
“I would not have guessed that you would be the one to side with us,” Kyoichi says quietly, pushing his glasses up on the bridge of his nose. “Are you sure you want to do this?”
Shinji leans back against the wall, listening to the sound of Sho and the others getting reacquainted downstairs. With a single Core Medal, Sho was able to reform his body with the right amount of Cell Medals— Shinji had come through as he knew he had to to make this plan work. After all, having all of the Greeed here means having all of their Core Medals here. And he needs as many of them as possible, needs all of them, to make this plan work.
“I will do everything in my power to help you achieve your goal as long as you make me a vessel for the Core Medals.” At least it’ll be something, consuming the entire world, leaving it a barren wasteland. It’s as close to a true life as Shinji can ever achieve. “What do you want me to do in return? I’m well aware not everything is free in life.”
Kyoichi clicks his tongue, his eyes flaring violet for just a moment; Shinji takes a small step back in reaction. “I think you’re well aware I’ve embedded five of the purple Core Medals in Seto’s body. They are the antithesis of desire.”
Shinji cocks his head. The antithesis of desire… It explained why Yutaka was able to carry the Medals within him even as they slowly began to encroach on his humanity, turning him into the very beings he fought so hard against. It also explained why Shinji had never sensed any humans connected to the purple fantastical Yummies.
“The purpose of this experiment is to see which of us is better suited to be a carrier of the Medals and thus to assume the power they harness.” Kyoichi pauses, as if giving Shinji time to process his words, but Shinji doesn’t have to think about it. He understands.
“And you want your Medals back,” he says softly. “You want me to pull them from his body.”
Kyoichi nods and pushes his glasses up on the bridge of his nose. “I do. I don’t care how you do it. It would even be better for all of us if you killed him in the process because then he can’t fight back against us anymore, and Birth has trouble handling Greeeds as you’ve no doubt seen. But that would only be a bonus. Just help me get my Medals back, and I’ll make you my vessel.”
Shinji nods, flexing his fingers, examining his claws not for the first time. If the opportunity arises for him to kill Yutaka, it would be best to take it. Removing the Core Medals from a human corpse would be far easier than trying to extract them from a living creature, and besides, Yutaka is growing ever closer to becoming a Greeed. Best to play it safe.
“I’ll do it,” he agrees.
The power of the PuToTyra combo is nothing like any of them could have imagined. At full power, with his Core Medals restored to his body and coupled with the evolution he’d undergone, the combination of Sakura and Kazuhiko’s medals still inside of him, he should have been more than powerful enough to take on OOO and destroy him. A human could hardly stand up to the power of a Greeed, and the current OOO doesn’t even have the power or the strength of the King. He could hardly be expected to know how to handle them.
That being said, when Ryuhei stumbles away from the fight, he can feel the change throughout his body. He can feel the shift of his medals inside of him, the strange fragility that seems to tremor through his body. It makes it hard to take another step. He should be powerful enough to defeat OOO, but now he feels like he may collapse at any second.
What could that mortal have done to me? The thought crosses his mind, but he doesn’t come up with a suitable answer before he bumps into Kyoichi in the middle of a dark tunnel. Relief floods through him; so the good doctor had been prepared just in case of this.
“Motobuchi,” he says, gripping the front of his shirt in cat-like claws. He can maintain his Greeed form, but just barely. Just barely. “You have to make me the vessel before I fall apart.”
Kyoichi stares at him coldly from behind his glasses. “And why do I have to do that, exactly?”
“That was our original agreement,” Ryuhei reminds him, gripping his shirt more firmly, feeling the fabric tear beneath his claws. “I would be your vessel who consumed the world and stand with you at the end of the world. That was what you wanted, what we agreed to.”
He still isn’t sure he sees the charm at being the last creature to roam the earth once every living thing has been consumed and there are only memories left behind, but it was what Kyoichi wanted, and Ryuhei had agreed to give it to him. They had become partners for this sole reason, had they not?
Shinji… Had the other Greeed truly taken his place in Kyoichi’s scheme? No, surely the mortal was smart enough to know he could never trust Shinji with such a delicate—
The pain when Kyoichi’s hand punches through his chest is unlike anything he has ever known, the impact shaking him to the core of his being. The pain is unlike anything he has ever felt, the purple Core Medals in Kyoichi’s body causing his to shudder in response. And he had thought nothing could ever hurt a Greeed, not like this.
Kyoichi rips the Core Medals from his body, holding them tight in his fist. “This is all I need of you. Carry on.”
At the cusp of completion, on the edge of returning to his former power, Ryuhei’s final Core Medal shatters. It’s as close to death as a pile of medals can truly come.
Yutaka had wanted to seal them away to save them. Even though Shinji insists the Greeed are not living creatures, he can’t help but feel for them. Contained within their desire, forced to consume and consume without ever being satisfied, he never wanted to just let them suffer. None of his plans ever included going so far as to kill them. But when the LaToraTar combo proves useless against Sakura in here complete form, he realizes he doesn’t have a choice.
It isn’t what he wants to do, but if he doesn’t stop her… The sight of the mothers and their children contained in those watery bubble prisons in Sakura’s lair is enough to convince him of what he has to do. To save them, he has to defeat her. To stop her from ever growing this strong again, he’ll have to kill her. It’s the only thing he can do to truly free her.
He doesn’t know how to feel about her dying in Kazuhiko’s arms, but he expects the two of them would have wanted nothing different. And when Kazuhiko takes off after, Yutaka is too tired to do anything to stop him. He’s already exhausted from that battle.
“Let me take care of it,” Hiroki says, and he heads off in pursuit without another word. Yutaka stumbles, watching after him, relieved when Noriko catches him by the arm before he can fall. If he falls now, he might now be able to get back up.
“Shinji’s helping them now, then, isn’t he?” she asks, and her voice is soft, mournful.
Yutaka straightens his spine, giving her a nod without breaking eye contact. She deserves the honest truth, and Yutaka isn’t going to keep it from her. “I promise you I’ll bring Shuya’s body back, though. No matter what it takes. I won’t let anything happen to him.”
Noriko bites her lip, her eyes torn, and Yutaka understands without her having to tell him. He knows that she doesn’t just want Shuya back, but Yutaka can’t promise her that Shinji will come back with him. He can’t promise that he won’t have to kill Shinji to finally get him to release Shuya’s body from his hold. He’ll have to do everything he can to save Shuya, even if that means killing the Greeed he truly thought he could call his friend.
He should have known better than to trust Shinji that far. Hadn’t he tried to keep his Core Medals away from him, knowing something like this might happen? And at full strength, even though Yutaka had broken three of his medals fighting his imposter…
His hands curl into fists, his resolve hardening. “I’ll do whatever I have to do to get Shuya back for you. Shinji chose his side. It’s time to let him know just what the consequences are.”
Shinji has every intention of killing Yutaka when he and the human finally cross paths again. Kyoichi wants his Core Medals back, and Shinji has made peace with the fact he will likely have to physically dig them out of Yutaka’s dead body. Kyoichi had been unable to get them back when he had finally had the chance to; Yutaka’s will to keep them was far too strong.
Even landing a punch to his still-human face isn’t enough to really make Shinji feel bad about what he has to do. “Haven’t you ever wanted anything in your miserable life?” he demands, one hand fisted in Yutaka’s shirt, the other pulled back to land another punch.
FIghting in water is not his forte, but the fighting on the beach had led to his, and he just… He has to do this, one way or another. If Yutaka makes him do it the hard way, so be it.
“I have,” Yutaka tells him, his hair soaking wet and sticking in wild tendrils to his face, his eyes wide and open and honest, and that makes Shinji flinch more than a potential punch ever could. “I just wanted to help people. I wanted to help everyone all over the world. And you gave me the power to do that, Shinji. Thank you.”
He isn’t expecting Kyoichi to add more Core Medals to the mix. He isn’t expecting Yutaka’s frail hold on his own humanity to slip, to watch his body morph into that of a Greeed, a scaly purple monster that puts Shinji on his guard immediately. He lets go of his human form as well, adopting the rainbow feathers of his Greeed form, the fire power welling up inside of him, warming him through. So this is it, then. He’ll have to kill Yutaka in his Greeed form and free him from the Medals eating him from the inside out.
Even without all nine of his medals, even with three of them destroyed, Shinji is still stronger. Just the same, when he aims what should be a killing fireball at Yutaka, his mind summons up the image of the human drenched beneath him, looking up at him with eyes that have only ever been kind. Thank you.
He misses. Of course, he misses. Because in the end, he can’t do it. He can’t kill Yutaka even with so many medals inside of him, threatening to destroy him from the inside out. He can’t kill the human who had helped him get his Core Medals back, who fought by his side, who was his friend, who accepted his comfort when things were hard…
He isn’t surprised when Kyoichi rips his Core Medals from his chest. It feels like it did then, when the King’s fist punched through his chest to the center of his being. But what he doesn’t expect is the slight crack in the last Core Medal he still has, a hairline fracture making him so much more fragile.
It only takes a moment for Shinji to accept his inevitable fate.
It would be just as well that Shinji comes to him when he’s surrounded by the others. With so little left to really do to stop Kyoichi, they’re all together and debating how best to pool their resources in order to stop Kyoichi’s plan. With Sakura and Kazuhiko dead and it obvious that Shinji and Kyoichi are no longer an option, with Ryuhei missing— Yutaka presumes dead as well— there is only one Greeed left to use. But one is too many in this case.
Keiko readies her gun without any of them seeing where she draws it from; as a member of the Hayashida Foundation, she has the same flawless reflexes that Hiroki has gained through rigorous training. With perfect make-up and not a hair out of place, she looks the part of an assassin, and Yutaka feels a chill go down his spine at the sight of her.
He waves a hand at her to have her lower her weapon, waving another hand when he sees Hiroki and Shogo— having returned fully healed from his surgery— to stand down before he goes to meet Shinji himself. “What are you doing here?”
“Motobuchi isn’t interested in using me as his vessel anymore, so I suppose staying with him would be pointless.” Shinji says it so casually, looking completely himself. “I thought we had better do our best to stop him from ending the world you care so much about.”
Yutaka frowns at him. “Since when do you care about saving the world or what I care about?”
Shinji clicks his tongue at him. “I came back to aid you. You can’t beat him without me, right? So let me fight at your side. You know you need me.”
“Why did you really come back?” Yutaka demands.
The silence that stretches between them is unbearable, but finally Shinji rests his Greeed hand on Yutaka’s shoulders, his claws digging into Yutaka’s skin just enough for Yutaka to feel the pressure without feeling any pain. “Because I wanted to help you, Yutaka. If you don’t want my help, you don’t have to accept it. It’s up to you.”
“Of course I’m going to accept your help.” Yutaka stretches out his own hand, resting it on Shinji’s shoulder. “Even if you turn on me a thousand more times before the end, I’d still accept your help when you offered it. As far as I’m concerned, we’re friends.”
There are too many emotions flitting through Shinji’s dark eyes for Yutaka to tell them apart. Before he can say anything, though, Shinji uses his grip on Yutaka’s shoulder to yank him forward against his chest. It’s not quite a hug, it’s probably the closest thing that Shinji can manage to one when it comes to his own nature.
Yutaka feels his face heat up when Shinji finally pushes him away. “I have no interest in any kind of friendship, but you have my partnership to save your world, and I know you’re intent on keeping it safe. So, let’s get this done with.”
Yutaka smiles softly at him and nods.
“I don’t understand why you wanted to talk to me,” Noriko says softly, her hands folded in front of her. The children are in bed, the hour is late, the stars glittering in the sky. The only light out here is the soft, fuzzy prismatic glow from Shinji’s wings, folded neatly against his back. He’d gone out for a final flight before the final battle, or so he said.
Shinji turns to look back at her, perched on a tree branch at the edge of the yard. “I need to tell you something, but I want you to keep it from Yutaka. He doesn’t need to know.”
Noriko frowns. “What is it?”
“You… Wouldn’t let me have this body, would you?” Shinji holds a hand up in front of his face and Noriko feels her heart trip in her chest. “You do love your brother quite a bit. You wouldn’t let me keep his body, would you?”
“Shinji, I… I want you to know that I don’t hate you. Because I don’t. I know that you probably think I do, especially after you nearly killed Shuya just to take his body back.” Noriko stops, taking a deep breath, trying to gauge Shinji’s reaction, but he is perfectly blank-faced as he looks at her, his feathers shifting against his back. “You’re my friend, too. Just like Yutaka. And if I could, I would keep you here with us. But I won’t sacrifice my brother for that. He was dragged into all of this against his will, and he deserves to live his own life.”
For a long time, Shinji says nothing. He turns away from her, surveying the dark terrain stretching out around them, before he finally slips forward off of the branch, landing on his feet, his wings disappearing from view. When he turns back to her, a bittersweet smile twists his lips. It’s not a look she’s used to seeing from him.
“In this body, I’d like to think that I’ve finally come to understand what it’s like to live. Even though I’m an object, not a real living creature. And so I’m grateful to it.” Shinji holds his hand out in front of him, then takes Noriko’s hand in his. “I’m going to die.”
Noriko blinks at him. “E-excuse me?”
“My main Core Medal is cracked. When it breaks, I’ll die. My consciousness will fade from existence. This is as close to death as a Greeed can get.” Shinji pauses, then gives her hand a small squeeze before releasing it. “Make sure to take care of Yutaka for me when I’m gone.”
“And you don’t want me to tell him?” Noriko asks.
Shinji shakes his head. “He’s gotta fight with everything he has in him until the very end, and if he knows… It’ll affect him, and I don’t want it to. So keep this just between us.”
Noriko nods, tears gathering in her eyes. It’s the least she can do.
The Tajador combo is the most taxing on Yutaka’s body, even more so than the PuToTyra combo, but it’s all they have left and all he can use to save the world. With Sho having been lost to the Core Medals and the massive Greeed in the sky devouring everything in sight, endangering people… When Shinji throws him the medals, Yutaka catches them. And it’s in that moment that he watches Shuya’s limp body fall to the ground that he knows that Shinji gave him the medal most important to him, the one that contains his mind.
And when Yutaka looks down at it, he sees the crack in the brilliant crimson.
“I see,” he whispers, running his thumb over the fracture. “You knew coming here that this would happen, didn’t you? That it would come down to this. You meant it when you said you came back to help me. Thank you, Shinji. I won’t let this be wasted.”
Tajador has always been a powerful combo, but this time, the flames burst with a fire brighter than they ever have before. And when Kyoichi comes at him in his Greeed form, a monster until the other Greeed in his horridness, Yutaka can sense he isn’t alone. He can feel Shinji fighting with him, shielding him and protecting him, doing his best to assist.
When they are forced to take the battle inside of the massive structure that used to be the Greeed Sho, and Kyoichi aims what would be a killing attack at him, it’s Shinji who appears from the air, his wing deflecting the blow with ease. It’s because Shinji is here with him, willing to do anything to help him and protect him, unafraid, that Yutaka can finally summon the purple Core Medals from his body into Tajador’s shield. One final move with everything the two of them are, with all of their power pooled together, combined into one shining blow… If it’s not enough, then nothing will be.
But Yutaka doesn’t think that even someone with Kyoichi’s power could stand against his bond with Shinji. And in the end, it is that bond that proves his thoughts true.
The last time he sees Shinji, he isn’t even seeing his whole body anymore. It’s just his arm, just the way he presented himself to Shinji the first time when it was all he could do to hold that form. Disconnected from the rest of his body. The medals are gone now, and Yutaka’s fall to the earth is extreme enough that he might die if the others were not already gathered to catch him.
“Shinji…” He laughs when Shinji grips him by the shirt to stop his descent. “Thank you.”
“Our friendship ends here, unfortunately.” He thinks he detects a slight trail of laughter in the words, but he also might be delirious from fatigue. “Keep the others close, then. Maybe I’ll see you again one day.”
And just like that, Shinji is gone.
Noriko gives him the other half of Shinji’s broken Core Medal. In the end, the pressure of the Tajador combo was too much for Shinji’s most important medal to bear, but he had been betting on that when he gave it to Yutaka in the first place. Unable to fight with so few of his Core Medals left, he gave all of them to Yutaka with the belief that the Tajador combo combined with the purple medals would be enough. It was more than either of them could do alone, the strength of their bond together all they could rely on in the end.
The other half of the medal had been in his hand when the others had caught him. He’d almost immediately passed out from the strain of bearing Tajador, especially one that seemed even more powerful as it contained Shinji’s very essence within it. When he had awakened in his bed back at the orphanage, the medal had been clasped tightly between his fingers.
The massive destruction to Kyoichi’s body had formed a black hole, and that hole had sucked in all of the Core Medals except the broken fragment Yutaka has now. When Hiroki and Shogo had returned from defeating Kazuhiko, it had been with the information that no single medal could restore a Greeed except the one that contained their conscious mind. In his grief, Kazuhiko had tried to bring Sakura back, but she was already gone.
Yutaka turns the pieces around in his hand, staring down at the Taka head emblazoned on them. It wouldn’t have mattered even if he had the other nine medals, then. Shinji was gone, and he had known that final fight would take his life if his effort succeeded.
And he’d still done it. Their bond had been stronger than anything.
“I promise I’ll find a way to bring you back,” he whispers, lifting his head to peer out at the streets stretching out before him. He’s visited Germany only once before in his travels, and that had been years ago. But… The Greeed had been born here, and it seemed like the wisest place to begin if he was going to bring Shinji back.
The world was safe. Kyoichi’s defeat had ensured that the dangerous purple Core Medals were eliminated, and Yutaka knows for himself that the other Greeed are all dead. The power of the purple medals had given Kyoichi and Yutaka the strength to damage their consciousness medals, after all.
In the end, Yutaka had been able to save the world. He had helped everyone even if they had no way of knowing it because he had saved their home. And though he’s glad to have done that, all that’s done is created a true desire in him once again.
He looks down at the medal in his hand, then tucks the pieces back into the inside pocket of his jacket, the one closest to his heart.
One way or another, he’s going to bring Shinji back. Even if he has to search for all of his life.

Review: New Breakfast Items at Kusafiri Coffee Shop and Bakery in Disney World’s Animal Kingdom
There are several new ways you can start your day in Animal Kingdom’s Africa thanks to Kusafiri Coffee Shop and Bakery!
Kusafiri Coffee Shop and Bakery
Four new items have made their way to the breakfast menu: a Cheese and Guava Danish, a Pistachio Honey Croissant, a Sausage Egg and Cheese Biscuit, and a Spinach and Feta Quiche.
Kusafiri Breakfast Items
You’ll still find other assorted pastries available like muffins, croissants, and the like, along with different flavored pastries. The Colossal Cinnamon Roll remains, but the Hot Breakfast Wrap (which had some big fans, including yours truly) has been removed.
Kusafiri Menu
On this rainy morning in Animal Kingdom, we tried three of the new items.
New Breakfast Items at Kusafiri
The Pistachio Honey Croissant is like a breakfast Baklava with a buttery croissant instead of phyllo dough.
Pistachio Honey Croissant
Because the breading is obviously more prominent with the croissant, it does keep the emphasis there over the light honey glaze and small dusting of pistachios. It basically elevates your basic croissant with some lesser found flavors.
Pistachio Honey Croissant
The same can be said of the Cheese and Guava Danish, only with different flavors, obviously, and a leaning towards the sweet tooths out there. It takes your standard breakfast cheese danish and adds a generous swirl of guava paste together with the sweet cream cheese. Here at Kusafiri, it’s also drizzled over with icing.
Cheese and Guava Danish
This tropical touch really serves to brighten the flavor of the danish to give it a little something special, and its always a great flavor combo.
Cheese and Guava Danish
The all-savory option here (aside from the also-new Sausage Egg and Cheese Biscuit) is the Spinach and Feta Quiche.
Spinach and Feta Quiche
Opinions will be mixed here, as some may feel like the enormous amount of pastry crust cheats them out of the filling a bit.
Spinach and Feta Quiche
Possibly others, though (like me), feel like the curst is the best part of any quiche or pie, so all of THIS…
Spinach and Feta Quiche
… was all right with me! Both the filling flavors and that of the crust comes together really well, with bits of pepper lending further variety to the spinach and feta. The whole thing is a nicely golden brown.
Spinach and Feta Quiche
Truly yummy. My one disappointment was with the overall portion. Even with the dense ingredients and ample crust making a hearty dish, I rather miss the sheer huge portion of the previous Hot Breakfast Wrap when considering fueling up for the day.
It’s fun to see more variety and flavor experimentation, though, on the morning menu at Kusafiri. The prime real estate right by one of the park’s main attractions makes this a natural stop when the hunger hits, so consider stopping by before getting ready for your next travels on Kilimanjaro Safaris!
Kusafiri Coffee Shop and Bakery is located in Animal Kingdom’s Africa. Take a complete Food Tour of the area in our DFB YouTube Video!

Oak Trade Co. E Liquid Fruit Bundle - Oak Trade Co. E Liquid
Vendor: Oak Trade Co. E Liquid Type: Bundles Price: 69.99 Oak Trade Co. E Liquid Fruit Bundle - Oak Trade Co. E Liquid When we are buzzing around like bees and working our fingers to the bone, what we could all really use is a way to find a little bit of extra refreshment. This bundle is going to give you four deliciously invigorating blends that are going to give you a huge amount of revival at a discounted price that will make your wallet feel good as well. A bundle deal like this is a great way to help fill out your collection at a discount and when you bring this one into your life, you are going to be able to get all of that fruit flavored yumminess without having to scour the produce section at your local grocery store. Add a whole lot of functionality and flavor into your life with this great pack from Oak Trade Co. E Liquid. Flavors Included: * Snickelfritz – Ben Johnson E Liquid - The name may sound funny but you won’t be laughing as you're blown away by the wonderful taste of this fruity e juice. Snickelfritz e liquid is the remarkably smooth concoction of watermelon blended with tropical kiwi that goes down creamy and comes up fruity. The kiwi is usually paired with everyone’s beloved strawberry, but why doesn’t the refreshing watermelon deserve to stand side by side with the tiny, island titan? We think the refreshing juices of thirst-quenching watermelon flavor deserve to take a trip into the island oasis from which the kiwi originates. As you inhale Snickelfritz try and not think about the adorable name and you’ll be able to fully appreciate the creamy notes that begin to cascade over your palate, soothing all the fires the busy day has sparked inside your mind. When you think of cream you also think of mellow and that’s exactly how you’ll feel as the wonderful flavors of watermelon and kiwi slide over your taste buds. Your mouth will be quenched by the blissful feeling of the refreshing watermelon flavor you’ve always loved. To add even more mellow to this relaxing fruit cocktail are the notes of creamy kiwi, which meld perfectly with the mild and slightly tart flavor from the watermelon. As it travels down your throat and into your lungs you can let your mind drift off to the beautiful and bountiful patches where watermelons come from, the warm and relaxing environment of the kiwi or your own personal destination whenever you wish to take a mental vacation. Exhale and you’ll leave tasty remnants of the two delicious fruits on your breath to savor after the vapor has drifted away. Don’t let that stop you from taking another pull, as we’re sure it won’t, once you get a taste of Snickelfritz e liquid. Primary Flavors: Watermelon, Kiwi, Cream * Crisp - Classified E Liquid - The best apples all share the bright neon hue of green. They also share the tangy flesh that spritzes juices of sweet and naturally tart flavor into your mouth. Even the most dedicated green apple flavor fans can sometimes grow tired of the naturally awesome notes. That’s why it’s best to pair the blast of tart apple flavor with the mild, refreshing juices of watermelon. Crisp e liquid is the perfectly complemented combo concentrated into a convenient vape juice. You get the best of both worlds and are pleasantly surprised with every pull you take. Inhale Crisp’s vapor and allow your mind to drift off to a fruity paradise with rollercoasters of flavor that take your palate through spinning loops of tartness from the green apple and down waterfalls of juicy refreshment from the cool watermelon. The first notes you’ll notice may “bite” a bit, but you’ll instantly welcome their sour embrace. That’s the flavor of the green apple as it hits the tip of your tongue and rolls towards the other parts on the back of the flavorful cloud of vapor. After you’ve been awakened by the tangy titillation from the green apple, the mild and sweet watermelon juices begin to roll in and cover your mouth with a river of thirst-quenching joy that no other fruit can provide. You’ll go back and forth between relaxed to revitalized as the two flavors compete for your palate’s affection while ultimately coming together in the end as an unbreakable duo that covers every note you could ever need from a fruity e juice. Buy the ticket and take the ride into a fruity vape land of magnanimous possibilities with Crisp e liquid always in your tank, ready to go. Primary Flavors: Green Apple, Watermelon * Keen – Classified E Liquid - Three of a kind is the winning hand in this fruity trio of delicious vapor. You get the tart tannins of apple, the creamy notes of kiwi and the bold blast of blueberry flavor all wrapped up in one undeniably tasty e juice. The combined flavors in Keen e liquid represent all the notes you could ever want from a fruity vape juice. Keen is ravishingly sweet, just like a handful of ripe blueberries. It’s also incredibly smooth like the tropical treat of kiwi. Lastly, it includes just the right amount of spike with the hints of sour apple. When you take your first pull of Keen you’ll be greeted by the blueberry brigade as they band together to bring you the natural flavor of bold berry sugar. If you're worried the sensation may get a little too sweet for you, then rest easy knowing the perfect balance of tart apple is on its way to complement and counteract the super-sweet presence of the blueberry. It may seem like the two flavors are working against each other, but they’re actually working together to bring you the perfect cloud of flavor that you won’t hesitate to vape again and again. To leave you in a relaxed state are the creamy notes of kiwi, carrying their island origin with them everywhere they go. They’ll make the sweet and tart flavors of the blueberry and apple a bit calmer as they approach your delicate throat and slide easily into your lungs. They’ll also leave your lips feeling moisturized and replenished as you exhale the last bit of vapor from the terrific experience provided by Keen e liquid. Primary Flavors: Blueberry, Apple, Kiwi * Red – Primary E Liquid - Red e liquid will prove to be one of the best fruit collaborations to grace your palate in delicious vape form. Red combines the sweet flavor of refreshing watermelon with the tart taste of ripe strawberries in a combo that is as classic as any other. Two of the best fruits are the best for a reason and we are not in a position to argue. However, we can comment on how the two are blended, in proportionality and representative to the natural fruits from which they’re derived, and Red e liquid takes the trophy home in these aspects. Inhale and welcome the watermelon flavor as the perfect instrument for bringing your mouth a wave of refreshment, instantly cooling your parched throat and making your thirst disappear. The mild juiciness will creep in, sweet and steadily, preparing you for the rush of rich berry flavor to come. We hope you’re well prepared for the berry flavor then blasts through with the bold notes of sweet and tart strawberry that everyone knows and loves. The slight tanginess of the strawberry perfectly complements the mild drops of refreshment from the watermelon in this classic collaboration of hazy satisfaction. The two combine as perfectly as chocolate and almond, peanut butter and jelly, or lemon and lime. Most would argue they are the best combo of any two fruits paired together and we do not disagree. We will voice our belief that Red e liquid is among the top flavors that expertly combines the refreshment of the watermelon and the tasty blast of the strawberry. The name doesn’t invoke much insight as to how tasty this e juice is so you’ll have to take our word for it and give Red e liquid a try for yourself. Primary Flavors: Strawberry, Watermelon   Package Contains: * 1 x 120ml of Red by Primary E Liquid * 1 x 120ml of Snicklefritz by Ben Johnson E Liquid * 1 x 120ml of Keen by Classified E Liquid * 1 x 120ml of Crisp by Classified E Liquid https://breazy.com/products/oak-trade-co-e-liquid-fruit-bundle-oak-trade-co-e-liquid?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=tumblr

Life Update!
March 9, 2018- Hello from Portugal! 
Tumblr media
My sincerest apologies for being so behind on my blog.. it’s been an eventful couple of weeks! I’m writing here from Porto, Portugal where my roommate Des and I decided to spend our spring break. It’s been in the 50s and rain here but we’re making the most of it! Everyday it rains for a quick 5 minutes, totally clears up, and repeats - so bizarre! Nonetheless, we’re happy to be out of the cold and snowy Salzburg for a bit. Instead of making it another busy travel week, Des and I used these six days in Portugal to relax and make it a vacation without any agenda or schedule. Everyday we wake up and walk aimlessly as we explore the city and enjoy the slow paced lifestyle we haven't had much of in Salzburg where its always go go go. This is exactly the type of break Des and I needed at this point in the semester so I’m really soaking it in while I can! It’s amazing what a world of a difference it makes when you travel with just one person instead of a group of ten.. just so much easier to go with the flow and make plans on a whim. Although, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t looking forward to going back to Salzburg because it is home now and I love my life there. Porto is a city that could easily be explored in a weekend’s time just because there isn’t necessarily a TON to see if you're looking for things to do all day everyday as a traveller. It’s more of a coastal beach city that is good for relaxing and laying low, which makes it a prime destination in late spring or summer. Des and I were a little sad we weren't able to soak up the sun on the beach like we had originally anticipated but it seems like everyone in both Europe and the States are having a tough blow with bad weather these days! Sometimes you just gotta roll with the punches though, right? 
Here are some pictures of different spots in Porto as well as some of the delicious food we ate! 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We came across so many beautiful views in the city but this was definitely a favorite! 
Tumblr media
Nothing like pancakes with blueberry jam, vanilla ice cream, powdered sugar, and fresh fruit! 
Tumblr media
Above is what they call pizza kebab. Kebab’s are a really popular food in Europe and it’s a type of meat that you can enjoy in a burrito or sandwich and apparently on pizza too! We were both in food heaven and ended up getting the same pizza for dinner two nights in a row. We’re going to keep our eyes out to see if they have the same combo in Salzburg. So yummy! 
A look back.. 
The week of February 18 we had an excursion to ORF, Austria’s public broadcasting network, which was pretty neat! We were given a tour of the whole building and even had the opportunity walk in on a live broadcast where the broadcaster controls the music playing on the radio and makes announcements. I am not huge into media so I really learned a lot about how their television and radio broadcasting system works. We also had to write a paper comparing and contrasting Austria’s public broadcasting service to ours in the States (PBS). Doing that analysis was another interesting way to see just how alike and different the Austrian and US cultures are. 
Tumblr media
Later that week a few friends and I went to a really fun international soccer, or “futbol” as they call it in Austria, match in Salzburg! Three of the guys in our study abroad program play soccer for their university in Texas so they were over the moon about this game! It was a dream come true for all of them to attend an international soccer game in Europe and I could see how incredibly inspired they were. Their big smiles and constant excitement made me smile! We sat in the Salzburg section, eventually picked up some of the chants in German, and despite the cold had a great time. Soccer isn’t the first sport I would choose to watch but this game totally changed my perception of the sport and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed myself. 
Tumblr media
Prague! 
The next day, Friday, majority of our study abroad group (10/13 of us) woke up early and boarded the train to Prague for a weekend getaway! Prague is just absolutely magical... I have never been more in awe of a city than Prague. Every single place you look is a breath-taking view. It is so authentic, romantic, and wonderful to explore. I took the day with one of my friends to get breakfast and just walk anywhere and everywhere! As I mentioned before about Portugal, it makes a world of a difference to travel with one person rather than a big group. We took our time walking, stopped in a few beautiful churches, checked out a market where I purchased a cute journal, ate a delicious Czech dessert, and saw a lot of other little things that as a group we wouldn't have been able to stop and see!
Tumblr media
One of the many cool street views of Prague. The buildings are all sorts of fun colors and the cobblestone roads make it an even more beautiful sight to see.  
Tumblr media
Me about to enjoy an afternoon treat! 
Tumblr media
This may very well be the most delicious dessert I have ever eaten! They call it a Trdelnik which is essentially a hollow piece of dough covered in cinnamon sugar. You can very well eat it plain, or if you really want a dessert like I did, you can get it filled with chocolate and/or ice cream! I couldn’t resist and went with the vanilla ice cream and chocolate drizzle on top. It’s safe to say that I was in a state of pure happiness as we strolled through Prague and enjoyed every bite of our dessert. 
In addition, we did see the bigger sites such as the St Charles Bridge as well as the Castle, both of which were absolutely stunning! No pictures will ever be able to serve them justice but I’ll post some just so you have an idea of what I saw. The weather was insanely cold (~15 degrees) but the sun was shining and we pushed through. Even when I thought I had frost bite it was completely worth it! Definitely a city I’d love to visit again with my future hubby. 
Tumblr media
St Charles’ Bridge 
Tumblr media
Couldn't get enough of this view! 
Tumblr media
The inside of the Castle - absolutely gorgeous!
Tumblr media
The view from the walk up to the Castle aka a perfect view of the city
Oh and their currency is Czech Korona so we had to withdraw some money at the ATM in Prague when we arrived and I gotta say.. it was quite surreal holding a 1000 bill! To give you an idea, 1 USD = ~20 Czech Koruna so we all withdrew about 50 USD for the weekend. Not bad! Prague is an insanely inexpensive city which we all really appreciated as college students. 
Tumblr media
In total we were there from Friday afternoon to Sunday night. We departed Salzburg at 8 am and arrived in Prague around 2:30 pm for a total of ~6 hours travel time. We switched trains twice within that time which broke up the trip a bit. Overall it was a smooth day of traveling but I cant say the same going home. On Sunday, we had the morning to do some more exploring before checking out of our hostel heading to the train station around 5:15 for our 6pm train. Much to our surprise, our initial train was diverted or cancelled (something along those lines) so we spontaneously got onto another train that we were told would take us to the city where we were to board our next train. Keep in mind that 95% of people in Prague speak Czech, which is a completely foreign language to all of us, so that was a challenge in itself. 
Tumblr media
Eventually we made it to another station where we boarded a train to Linz (Austria) which was supposed to be our original stop. Once we arrived in Linz after 10 pm, we were running behind from the original delays so despite our best efforts to sprint to the train departing for Salzburg we were 30 seconds too late and saw it pull away just as we got to the platform! We were all exhausted and defeated and at that point stranded in Linz until we could find another train to Salzburg. It was also Sunday which means everything in Europe is closed or closed early so nothing in the train station was open except Mc Donalds. Thankfully, one of our friends found a train going to Salzburg at 10:45 pm so we quick grabbed dinner at Mc Donalds and boarded this train that technically we didn’t have a ticket for. We walked the entire length of the train before finding a little cabin to sit in and had a little over an hour ride home. Upon arrival to Salzburg a little before midnight we hopped in a taxi and at last made it back to our dorm. We were all wiped out and couldn't wait to snuggle into bed. 
Week 6 / Info about school
The week after Prague was by far the busiest one yet! We had only three days until our next travel excursion! In those three days we had class but also a midterm and final exam. Oh yeah, and the US ambassador visited our dorm on Wednesday afternoon too! It’s safe to say we had no time to study the previous weekend in Prague so it was definitely a stressful couple of days with our exams. Our German class only lasted the first half of the semester so we had a final for that class right before our spring break and then had a midterm for the Austrian history course that every student in our program is required to take. Our semester is split up into two blocks so as of March 1 we are officially finished with block one and onto the second! It’s unreal how fast time flies.. 
The second half of our semester I’ll still be in my Austrian history course (”The European Experience” as they call it), my intro to Photography class which is super fun and I will share more about later, and then I will be starting a class called The Art of Propaganda which I think will be fascinating! Austria was obviously very involved with World War II so it’s really fascinating studying in the country where everything happened. These classes are totally out of my element as a nursing student but I’m totally loving the change of pace and different type of challenge. 
As I briefly mentioned above, we had the awesome opportunity to meet the US Ambassador! He was so excited to talk to us Americans after interacting with the other German speakers of Austria on a regular basis. There is a statue of Abraham Lincoln in the backyard of our dorm building so we all went and took a picture in front of it as shown below! 
Tumblr media
After that it was just a low key social hour with coffee and cake. It was interesting hearing him speak about his life and also his experience studying abroad in college. He couldn’t say enough about how much studying abroad shaped his career path and the way he lived the rest of his life! I 100% agree with him and feel that there is no better opportunity than studying abroad to discover who you are and grow as you learn so much about the world around you. On many occasions Des and I have discussed how oblivious we were to so many things before this. It’s like we didn’t even realize how much of a bubble we lived in until we removed ourselves from life as we know it and stepped completely out of our normal boundaries. I finally see a whole new side to life with new eyes that I didn’t even realize existed before. I’m going to do a separate post that goes more into detail about the cultural differences and ways I’ve positively changed from this experience.
Tumblr media
Meet and greet with the US Ambassador.. check! √
I’m going to discuss my excursion to Vienna/more about spring break in Portugal in separate post just to break it up. 
PS. I began this post in Portugal and am now finishing/posting it today, March 11, from Salzburg because much to my surprise I didn’t have Wifi during our 7 hour layover in Zurich, Switzerland on the way home from Portugal yesterday. We had a long day of traveling that began at 5:30 am and didn’t end until we arrived back in Salzburg at 2:30 am early this morning. We flew from Porto to Zurich where we had a 7 hour layover as mentioned above, then Zurich to Vienna, Austria, and finally took a train from Vienna to Salzburg. It was quite a day but we’re happy to be home and enjoying a relaxing Sunday here in Salzburg. Oh, and winter is officially behind us! We woke up to a sunny 60 degree day here without the presence of snow and couldn't be more excited for the spring weather we are about to enjoy. 
Auf Wiedersehen!

How to Decorate for Multiple Holidays in One Space
Though malls and department stores are twinkling with Santa displays and yuletide lights, Christmas isn’t the only holiday that comes this time of year. So what do you do if you dig the decorations, but celebrate Hanukkah or Kwanza, too? Or maybe you want to try reusing some of that Thanksgiving tabletop decor? Seasonal style doesn’t have to have just one holiday attached. Use these tips to bring festive cheer to your space, no matter what you’re celebrating.
Re-Use & Repurpose
via Yummy Mummy Kitchen / Jenny Collier
Unless you’re starting from scratch, there’s no need to rush out and buy new holiday decorations every year. The classics go a long way, especially during a season known for its traditions. But instead of hanging the stockings under the mantle or placing the menorah in the same spot as last year, try mixing it up. Hang holiday lights in the dining room, devote your coffee table to Hannukah decor. And when it comes to reusing items from the last holiday, that’s easy. Did you deck your tabletop out with pumpkins and pinecones for Thanksgiving? Refresh those accessories by painting pumpkins holiday hues like white, red, and gold. Your family won’t even notice, and if they do, they’ll probably be impressed with your craftiness.
Opt for a Neutral Palette
We’ll be the first to admit that a living room exploding with shiny red and green knick-knacks is not our idea of tasteful holiday decorating (who decided that red and green make a good color combo anyways?). We recommend using a more neutral palette reminiscent of the cool hues of the season rather than a specific holiday. Go ahead and incorporate your usual evergreen wreaths and gold tinsel, but combine them with wintry ivory tones and icy blues. A silver and blue color scheme is perfect for those wanting to bring an element of Hannukah into their design as well.
Go Organic

People tend to think less about nature in the wintertime, but there are so many organic elements that can be used for seasonal decor. Bring more than just evergreen into your space and allow your plant life to flourish. Try winter jasmine, star magnolia, and even witch hazel as a way to add festive color. Wooden accents should be major if you’re going the natural route, so decorate with firewood, wood slices, and of course, pinecones.  And when it comes to texture, lay it on with sheepskin rugs and nubby throw blankets — pieces that will make you want to cuddle up in front of a roaring fire are key.
Mix & Mingle
There’s nothing better than having the best of both worlds. If your reindeer can mingle with your dreidels, more power to them. If your menorah sits above your stockings, that’s great too. The holidays are all about coming together so when you unify your celebrations through decor, that’s a great first step.
Happy Holidays!

Juicing vs Blending – What is the Difference?
“I juice. I drink a shake every morning. After the gym, I need to have my smoothie.” If you haven’t uttered these words, you’ve heard them from a friend or acquaintance. 
When we wrote the personal blender guide, we were amazed at the amount of confusion out there regarding not only appliances but also concoctions as well.  And in true ReadPlease fashion, we wanted to get to the bottom of things and sort through the information to give you a summarized report on what is what.
Juicing
Juicing is a process that extracts the juice from fruits and vegetables, removing all solid matter and just providing the liquid, vitamins, enzymes, and minerals in drink form.
Pros
A fantastic way to get voluminous amounts of plant food into your body with one drink. The extraction process removes the fiber so you’re able to eat a lot more than you would if the foods were in the original form on your plate.
Juicing can give your digestive system a rest. Yes, we do need fiber, but for varying reasons, some people may take a break from it and juicing is a great way to get nutrition into your body while doing so.
A great alternative for people with sensitive digestive systems to obtain the benefits of a plant based diet.
Texture free drink is an alternative option for individuals who do not like the consistency provided by blending plant foods.
Shakes, Smoothies & Blended Drinks
Blending takes that delicious blend of fruits and vegetables and mixes them up into one beverage without removing part of the produce. Check out our Magic Bullet vs Nutri Bullet guide for some great smoothie making machines.
Pros
This method allows you to foods that are not plant based like oats, seeds, and nuts into your drink.
You can put nut butter, smaller greens like sprouts, and powdered shake mix into your drink.
Because these superfood smoothies contain the fiber that juices do not, you may find them more filling as a meal substitute or snack.
There really aren’t any cons to juicing or blending, but if you are using these as a meal replacement, you do want to be aware of sugars and calories that you are adding to your daily diet.   If you are using a powdered mix, research the contents.  Not all are created equal.
We have put together a few recipes to introduce you to the world of drinkable goodies, each with a little bit of detail as to what benefits you may find from the mixture.
Juice Recipes
We pulled this from Kris Carr’s Crazy Sexy Juice book because Kris knows juicing, and she has become a trusted source in wellness since a cancer diagnosis led her to a health revolution of her own life.  If you haven’t heard of her, check her out, we think you’ll find her to be a great ally in your health journey as well.
Crazy Sexy Green Juice Formula
Kris suggests the following formula for creating your green juice.

Here’s one of our favorite combos!
4 celery stalks
½ head Romaine lettuce
½ bunch of parsley
1 green apple
½ Lemon
1” fresh ginger root
Juicing Tips
When buying produce, organic is best, but if you can’t find organic all of the time, try to at least stay within the Environmental Work Groups guide to the Dirty Dozen – those fruits and vegetables that you should really try to buy organic based on pesticides residue found on those crops. They also offer a complete list here with 2017 data.
If you can’t wash your juicer immediately after use, at least rinse it and soak for later tending to. You’ll thank us, we promise.
You may experience symptoms of detoxing if you go full force on juicing at first. This might mean headaches, skin eruptions and disruptions, fatigue, and so on.  Working with a certified doctor or wellness coach is recommended if you want to make a dramatic change to your diet at any time.  These symptoms will pass.  It’s your body purging all the buildup that it can now release with this pure nutrition running through your body like a top-notch cleaning crew!
You can make a larger batch of juice and store some for same day consumption. Store in a container with a tight lid so allows as little air as possible to get to your goods.
Be sure to wash all produce before juicing!
Blended Drinks
We love blended drinks.  Midafternoon, when are hungry for “something:, and don’t know what, this always does the trick.   One tester’s favorite tip is to buy bananas, and freeze them whole or chop up like little ice cubes.  They really add a lot of depth and richness to your smoothie.
Chocolate Chip Banana Shake
Image Credit: Hot for Food
1 frozen banana
1 cup almond (or other nut milk)
1 tsp coconut oil
1 dried date
¼ cup of almonds
1 T hemp seeds
¼ cup of cacao nibs
Blend all together for about 30 seconds, then add the cacao nibs for another 5-10 seconds (if you blend the entire time, they become too pureed for our liking)
Tasty Turmeric Tonic

Turmeric is touted for its anti-inflammatory benefits which experts acknowledge are associated with many of our common ailments including migraines and arthritis.  But it benefits don’t stop there.  Studies have found it contains cancer-fighting properties and promotes wellness and longevity as well.  But getting it in your diet can be a bit tough.  We think that you’ll like this tasty tonic.
1 banana*
1 mango*
1 cup almond milk
1 Tbsp honey – we recommend Manuka Honey whenever possible!
½ Tsp Turmeric – you can use fresh or dried
Blend until you achieve the consistency desired, but do not leave unattended or for over 45 seconds without testing!  Sprinkle with cinnamon or chili – or both!
*If you are using frozen bananas or mango, try to use fresh with one, and frozen with the other. If not using either frozen, add a couple of ice cubes
**You can add a dollop of nonfat Greek yogurt if you want a thicker shake
Green Goodness Drink
This blend will give you the healthy fats in yummy avocado for energy, and lots of hydration in the cucumber and
½ cup coconut water
½ avocado peeled, without the pit
1 cup frozen blueberries
½ cup fresh spinach (we promise, it’s good!)
1 Tbsp chia seeds
1 Tbsp honey (get that Manuka!)
½ – 1 cup of ice (add to get the consistency you like)
Blend until you achieve the consistency desired, but do not leave unattended or for over 45 seconds without testing!
Blending Tips
Do not leave your blender unattended, and we recommend blending at 30-second increments then testing until you become familiar with your blender’s power. Take our advice with this one, no one wants a warm smoothie and these little blenders can heat up your drink fast if you’re not careful!
Watch calories – while whole foods have amazing health benefits, they do contain calories and you should be aware of your daily intake.
If you can’t wash your blending jar and components immediately, at the very least rinse and let soak until you can tend to. The natural sugars and fibers make for a sticky situation if left alone for too long. A terrific way to wash your blender is to add water and a drop of dish soap then blend again.  Mini-dishwasher!
