Falling Papers and Raindrops

Words couldn't fully express how shocked I was in seeing Rain being accepted into @questverse-official's final cast, not to mention that she's one of the main characters. It was really unexpected, I just sent my OC for fun and I wanted to show her, I have NO idea she will be picked- (And no, I won't shut up about this)

So here's the drawing of Rain Sans as celebration! Also try guess who the characters in the paper are (Hint: it's the Questverse cast :) Answers are in the tags!)

Thank you so much, @zelphin124 and congrats to everyone who got into the final cast!

Tales: GATE Part 6

Thankfully the drive wasn't bad at all, everyone ended up taking turns driving the MGDB-4 "bulldogs" and those that weren't were handling the directions or just talking. Right now, it was Kaneki who was mapping out the directions. He was using a Foundation Computer Screen Pad that showed all the land mapped out by the long-distance Foundation drones. Kaneki was simply drawing out the best routes and sending a live feed to Itami's helmet as he drove. Itami still wasn't used to having a computer screen on the visor of his helmet. It showed him so much information while also giving him a clear view of what was in front of him, though it did help to think of it as a videogame. 

While Kaneki kept reviewing the map, he noticed Lelei looking over his shoulder, he then helped her to understand how he was reading it and how it worked. Though when concerning the Computer Screen Pad in general, he tried to explain that too, but Lelei didn't get it so as anything other than magic; so, he just went with that. MTF High Commander Yōsai, who was in the front alongside Xio, noticed Kaneki and Lelei talking and smiled at the sight. 

"Ah, it always feels good to watch Youngsters fall in love, ey Kaito?" Yōsai looked at the rearview mirror to confirm and sure enough he got Kaito's attention. They were speaking in japanese hence why Kaneki blushed, but Lelei was left in confusion.

"Hm, though it seems you got lucky and found someone yourself, I heard she's your age yeah?"

"Shut up Hoshi, your high position doesn't mean you can be arrogant."

"Hmph, would have been your position if you hadn't screwed up 70 years ago."

"Tch, a hundred years later and still a brat." Yōsai chuckled while Kaito just grunted in annoyance. Itami and his group who accidentally listened were shocked to hear them throw around such high numbers of age such as 70 and 100 as if it was no big deal. Even Xio who could understand everything, was surprised to hear that Kaito was possibly as old as MTF High Commander Yōsai. Especially Rory who was seemingly teasing Tuka about something in their native language. Kaito noticed this and after hearing what they were saying he looked at them in shock. Rory then smiled at Kaito and Tuka looked at him while blushing in embarrassment, Kato quickly looked the other way also blushing in embarrassment. 

Itami noticed this and felt jealous for not knowing what they were talking about, it was clearly a lively conversation and he wanted details. Itami then turned to Kaneki and saw how he was wearing one of those translation collars. He was currently using it to switch between the native language and Japanese to both talk to Lelei and teach her some more Japanese on the side. 

"Hey Sasaki-san?"

"Hm? What is it Itami-san?"

"Any chance I could get a translation collar?"

"Oh, sorry, tech like that is restricted for Level 2 Clearance Personnel and above."

"Wah? Wait what Level Clearance am I?"

"Uh... well you're in MTF Sigma-66 so it's hard to say. But you're definitely lower than Level 1 Clearance... which essentially means you're banned from all gear except for what we give you." Itami was shocked to hear this but just sighed as he knew there was nothing else he could do. 

"Woah hey, what the hell?" Xio then stopped the vehicle, in front of the road it could be seen that their eventual destination had black smoke. 

"Shit, Kaneki and Lelei, you're going to want to see this!" Kaneki and Lelei moved forward to get a better look, Kaneki used his binoculars to see what was happening though even when heavily enhancing the view he just saw smoke. He then gave them to Lelei in hopes she would understand better, though he had to help her use them as she wore them in reverse. 

"Hm... it's not the season for bush fires, some people must have set up a fire but it's too big?" Suddenly Rory stepped forward past them and smiled at the sight of the smoke.

"Rory? What's wrong?"

"The stench of blood. A battle has taken place here." Xio and Yōsai looked at one another and then to Lelei with concern.

"Lelei? Do you think it's a mistake to come here?" Lelei looked to Xio, then to MTF High Commander Yōsai, then to Kaneki. She was sure that so long as they were here everything would be fine. Besides, if they left now then things wouldn't go according to her plan to finally repay the SCP Foundation for all the good they did for her and the others. 

"We'll be fine, with Rory here, they won't dare attack us. We just need to show we mean no harm." MTF High Commander Yōsai shrugged while Captain Xio just sighed and started driving again.

"I'm trusting my men with your decision, Lelei. Don't let me down, okay?" Lelei felt a pain in her heart after hearing that, but she was sure this would work out in the end. 

***

They made it to the gates, though the entrance was anything but friendly. The gates were closed, the baristas were aimed right at them, and a man at the gates demanded to know who they were. 

"Uh Lelei I'm going to have to insist we try somewhere else."

"Please wait Xio, this town is our best option, at least allow me to go up there and talk to them." 

"I can't allow that!" Lelei and Xio turned to Yōsai who quickly joined in on the conversation. 

"Sorry Lelei but you're essential to the mission. Second of all you are considered a VIP within the G Class personnel. To allow you to enter danger is punishable by death within the Foundation or worse demotion to D Class. Though regardless of rankings I can't risk your lives for any reason, please let us think of another option."

"But Commander, if I, a native of this world, don't tell them that we mean them no harm then what else can we do? You all are not native here so they will naturally assume they are your enemies only I can break this misunderstanding."

"Hey hold it Lelei!" Soon Tuka bumped into the conversation.

"Why are you so adamant on us doing trading in this city? You realize these people saved us, right? If they think it's trouble here, then let's just leave and find another one."

"But it has to be this one, the SCP Foundation wants to have secret ties with the empire. There's no better place to start here. All I have to do is speak on their behalf and the Empire will learn not to harm the SCP Foundation anymore."

"... Ugh, fine. But I'm coming too!"

"No, you are not!" MTF High Commander Yōsai was now getting visibly angry at the two of them which shook Tuka and possibly Lelei thought it was hard to tell as her expression did change. 

"There is no way in hell I am allowing two Class G civilians, especially VIPs like yourselves, to face possible hostiles!"

"You don't need to worry Yōsai, I'll be going with them!" Rory then happily sat up thinking it would reassure Yōsai.

"SIT DOWN RORY!" Instead, to her shock, he was red with anger. Rory normally took orders from no one, but Rory found Yōsai, as a fellow immortal, interesting so she decided to listen. MTF High Commander Yōsai groaned with disappointment, but then looked to Xio as she placed her hand on his shoulder. 

"High Commander, with all due respect, they are right. We should let the locals do the talking; it is the whole point of Operation Blind Spot."

"... ugh... damn it, alright fine, but I'm coming with you! Captain Zapata you're with me, you too Trooper Itami! On the double!" Itami was shocked at first but felt it was right for him to go as he thought it would be cruel to leave Yōsai to be the sole protector of the girls, so he got out of the vehicle with everyone else. He also decided to be extra manly by going in the front to take any potential arrows, though most of his courage came from the fact that his armor was bulletproof. Though with all the notifications blinking on his visor and not knowing how to control them he quickly took off his helmet which greatly annoyed Yōsai.

"Itami, what are you doing? Get back here." 

"Ah, don't worry Sir- I mean High Commander! Ahem, I'm just making sure to be the human shield."

"Itami don't be an idiot, also put your damn helmet on!"

"Don't worry Sir, I think I can actually see better without it."

"Itami, I'm serious! You never know when something might-" Suddenly the door swung open, and Princess Pina came out. She swung the door open so fast that Itami was hit on the face and fell down to the ground flat instantly. 

"Hit you on the head..."

"I'M GLAD YOU ALL CAME! ESPECIALLY YOU RORY THE REAPER! PLEASE SAVE US WITH YOUR... Your... divine... power... What's wrong, why are you all so quiet?"

"Uh, ma'am, as much as I would love to talk to your superiors, can you please get off of my subordinate?" Pina looked down and saw that she was standing on Itami's unconscious body, more specifically on his crotch. She quickly started panicking as she knew that any negotiations, she had quickly broken down by her unintentionally attacking the enemy. 

"Don't start dancing on him you moron, just get off of him!"

"Uh Captain? What's exactly going on over there?" As Xio got the transmission from Kaneki, she looked back to the others. Pina was sweating with fear as Rory and Tuka were tending to Itami. Meanwhile Lelei and Yōsai were watching the chaos though Yōsai seemed to be struggling to hold back his laughter. 

"Uh... yeah just give us a minute or a two... hundred."

***

After things finally calmed down Pina properly apologized for accidentally hitting Itami in the face. Though to their shock Pina revealed herself to be the princess of the very empire they were trying to connect to through the shadows. Technically this is not a part of Operation: Blind Spot but Yōsai in particular saw this as an opportunity. After explaining the situation to them Yōsai realized how they could take advantage to ensure the operation was a success. Yōsai told Princess Pina that they were a mercenary group that had managed to employ all sorts of talent from around the world hence why they had Rory, Tuka, Lelei and were in possession of strange looking weapons. Pina didn't buy it but pretended she did. First, she couldn't begin to think of what the truth was; second, she was really desperate for outside help. 

Thus, the two groups decided to work together in exchange for certain rewards that would be discussed later. Pina didn't like the sound of that last part so all she could do was mentally pray that they wouldn't ask for her enslavement or the city of Italica. Pina requested that Yōsai and Xio have their troops positioned at the South Gate, Xio then ordered Itami to relay this information and have everyone meet them at the Gate. 

It didn't take long for them to get the MGDB-4's on the outside of the gate and have their turrets set to defensive mode. Meanwhile everyone was stationed on the edges of the gates looking out in the distance or taking their time getting ready. This wasn't in their mission at all, but things rarely go according to plan within this world, so everyone was kinda used to it at this point. So instead of complaining everyone just decided to help the princess in her plan to defend the town. Gaining favors from the empire was part of the operation anyways, and it did feel good to see the people of Italica's morals raise knowing they were getting help. 

"Hey! We got scouts out in the distance." Xio looked to where one of her troopers were pointing in the distance, after using her binoculars she saw there were three men on horseback. 

"I got them Captain, just say the word." One of her snipers got out his rifle, she knew he could headshot all three of them instantly but...

"Nah, let them go. For all we know they have Thaumaturgic abilities, or perhaps more free magic-based abilities like Lelei. Even if that's not the case they could still be encouraged to get specialized shields or armor that are thick enough to stop bullets."

"Think you're giving them too much credit, boss."

"Hey, don't give me that crap! One of the ways you survive in the Foundation is that you prepare for everything, even the impossible." The Trooper sighed but did as Xio ordered, Itami noticed this and looked to his men who seemed a little too relaxed. 

"Hey! Take what Captain Zapata said to heart! In unknown territory anything is possible. So don't slack off!" The Sigma-66 units nodded and continued preparing their guns and other defensive weapons but now with more enthusiasm. 

"Thank you Itami."

"Of course, boss."

"How are things going?" High Commander Yōsai had just walked up from the stare to their level on the wall. 

"Going a little too well sir, we could get attacked right now and the turrets could do most of the work for us so everyone's taking it easy."

"Ha, that's assuming these hostiles don't have pet dragons or have mages like Lelei among them."

"I said something similar to the men earlier so they picked up the pace a little, Itami helped with that."

"I see, good work you two, if this battle goes well then with favors owed by the princess of the Empire, Operation Blind Spot will go more smoothly than expected."

"That's assuming it will go well." Kuwahara walked up to the three of them and bowed to Xio and Yōsai. 

"What's on your mind Trooper Kuwahara?"

"High Commander with all due respect I have to express some concerns."

"Feel free to tell me, at the Foundation we consider those who cast aside such concerns as fools."

"Thank you, High Commander. I am concerned about the bad state Italica is in, their defenses too. They put a barricade behind the gate as a twofold system. They know the gate will give out and are just looking to buy time. That's also why they have torches everywhere to ensure that when one gate falls the others can rush in and help. Which is going to be required since there's only about 5000 people in this town so-"

"Trooper Kuwahara. I don't mean to be rude but get to the point."

"... Why are we only stationed at this Gate? And why on the gate when we're rifle men. It's almost like-"

"We're bait? Yeah, pretty much."

"Ah, you knew!"

"Yup, her plan is to trick the enemy into thinking with our low numbers compared to the other gates that we're weak and can't defend. So, they'll come charging in and will have to be dealt with us. It's a very savage strategy to implement, especially on your newly formed allies, she's a princess of the Empire alright."

"Hmph, I don't disapprove since we are helping the people by doing this but why go with it High Commander?"

"You can just call me Yōsai, and its mainly to test the strength of this world. Granted the Foundation has already gone through two battles with the forces of this world but according to our sources they didn't all belong to the Empire. So, we need to assess all the strength of all potential enemies that exist within this world."

"Hm... awfully aggressive Yōsai. Don't you think so?"

"Yes, but it's the most effective way to get results as fast as possible. Within the Foundation, you find that results matter more than how they are obtained, or at least that's how the O5 sees it, faceless bastards." Both Kuwahara and Itami felt the disappointment in Yōsai's voice, neither of them wanted to press further. 

"Hm. noble, but very foolish." Everyone then turned to Rory who was looking over the edge of the wall with Lelei and Tuka behind her. 

"I mean its noble of you to want to risk yourself to protect the innocent people of Italica but it's foolish to be following the princess after knowing she's just using you as bait. So, what's the reason for listening to her?"

"We don't really get any better options Rory."

"You do, just kill the princess and declare Italica new territory of the SCP Foundation."

"We're not conquerors Rory, we already have land in this world we don't need more."

"So, you're really just doing it to help the princess?"

"Pretty much." Rory just sighed as she shrugged in confusion. Yōsai smiled at her but then noticed Itami still not wearing his helmet and started getting annoyed again.

"Itami for god's sake put your damn helmet on!"

"Uh, sorry sir but wearing it for too long hurts my head. All the blinking lights are messing with my vision."

"You were supposed to activate the regulation mode on it before putting it on. Didn't you bother reading the manual?"

"There's a manual?" Yōsai sighed in disappointment while Xio slapped him across the head. She then proceeded to show him how to activate the regulation mode on his helmet while he hastily tried to follow what she was saying. Rory walked up to Itami and held his helmet for him so that he could follow Xio's instructions more carefully. 

"Hm, if our motives sound too pure then just know that we're doing this because we want the princess to owe us a favor or two afterwards."

"Oh? and what would those favors lead to?"

"Hm... well I guess it's okay to tell. We want the princess to be one of our inside voices within the Empire to be able to control it without having any physical influence." Rory looked up at Xio with a face slightly changed with shock, she didn't like the sound of that but still wanted to hear Xio out.

"Why would you want that?"

"To make sure the Empire forgets the Foundation exists."

"Why?"

"In our world, the anomalous isn't supposed to exist. Dragons and magic also exist in our world, but no one knows they do." Itami looked at Xio in shock which grabbed both Xio and Rory's attention.

"See? The SCP Foundation is dedicated to ensuring that common people don't have to worry about the horrors that reside in the shadows. We mainly work to ensure they don't even know they exist in the first place. It should be no different for this world, though there's one thing regarding the anomalous we must always keep from the public. It's that the Foundation is technically an anomaly as well. So, in this world as well, we will be sure to make the Foundation nothing more than a nightmare to the empire that will be forgotten in a week or so. Though in reality we'll just be in the darkness watching everything through unseen eyes."

"Hm... falsehood and deceit will contaminate your soul."

"You disapprove?"

"Very much so. Emroy is the god of war; he doesn't condemn killing of people. However, your motivations are essential. Those who kill without honesty as to why, are to be damned."

"Hmph, everyone in the Foundation is already damned to hell, we just accepted that as part of the job. We die in the dark so you can live in the light." Rory felt a strange power form those words, it was almost like the same energy given when a soul's flower through her after death though not as powerful.

"... Are you sure the Foundation worships no gods?"

"None whatsoever, why?" Rory just smiled as she just found something extremely interesting about the Foundation. 

"Hm, pay it no mind, now then back to topic, you did say you plan to achieve this unholy act of secrecy by winning this battle?"

"We're not entirely sure yet, but if these marauders turn out to be just as easy to kill as all the other enemies we've faced then yeah. The princess will have to think twice before saying no to us." Finally, Itami got the Helmet on regulation mode, so he put it back on, finally his visor was clear of useless notifications and info. He then stood up to join in on the conversation.

"Ah, so showing her that it's better to be friends than enemies, that's the message we want to convey to the princess, right?"

"... essentially yeah." Rory's smile returned and started twirling around while raising her arms in the air. 

"Haha! How very interesting! Complete terror! To strike complete and utter terror into the very being of that princess! She and those who join her will always fear the darkness you reside in and fear upsetting the SCP Foundation for she knows that if she dares disobey, you will drag her to the deepest domain of Hardy!"

"Ah! Rory, I don't really think that's what Xio meant, right Captain?"

"Actually, Rory was more on the mark than you were Itami." Itami lost his colors as he was frozen in shock, meanwhile Rory faced Xio and raised her dress slightly to bow with grace. 

"I take back what I said, as Emroy is the lord of darkness, I'm sure it will please him that your organization is so willing to use his domain to reside and grow in power. As one of Emroy's Apostles I will be sure to assist you in establishing your veil of darkness. Feel free to reside in all the darkness in the world and control the light from within."

"Hm, we prefer to call it the veil of normalcy, though some others call it the veil over the anomalous world, but I guess that has a nice ring to it as well." Rory laughed at that but nodded in agreement Xio then extended his hand and Rory took it and shook. It seemed that Rory was going to be an ally to the Foundation much longer than expected. 

***

Later that night, the units under Xio and Itami had turned on night vision on their visors to be on the lookout for enemies. But no one was coming, in fact, the whole field in front of them was completely barren. 

"What the heck? where did they all go?"

"Did they give up?"

"Nah, they're probably trying to get more resources or bigger weapons, I bet they're planning on coming tomorrow night."

"Hm... something about this doesn't feel right."

"Captain! Over at the east gate!" Xio and the others looked to where one of her troopers were pointing and sure enough the east gate lit its enemy torches.

"Shit, come on everyone we're moving out."

"Wha- but Captain! We haven't received any orders from the princess!" Xio then glared at Itami in disappointment, actually scaring him. 

"Itami, do you honestly think that the princess has time to send us a message? Right now, she's probably hoping we'll make it there in time which we won't if you keep wasting time."

"But Captain-" Itami raised his hands to keep Kurokawa from speaking and nodded to Xio. Everyone then got off the wall and ran to the east gate as fast as possible. Thankfully there was one MGDB-4 still on the inside of Italica so Xio, Itami, Yōsai, Lelei, Tuka, Rory, Kaneki, and Kaito all rode on it while everyone else kept running. However, as they were getting closer to the battlefield Rory started moaning and twitching around. 

"Uh, Rory? What are you doing?"

"She can't help it, she's an Apostle of Emroy so naturally when people die in battle their souls flow through her while ascending to the afterlife. As she feels their energy flow through her it gives her strength but also... pleasure apparently." Rory then moaned loudly again making everyone in the car blush in embarrassment. Itami seemed to mutter something to which Xio slapped him hard on the head, he still felt it despite the helmet being bulletproof. Once they were very close Rory suddenly busted out of the MGDB-4 heavily damaging the roof and the turret. 

"Rory! You little-! Augh! Xio goes after her!" Xio smiled and jumped out of the hole in the roof, spun in the air, and landed perfectly on the ground. She looked up to see Rory charging into the battle and swinging her axe around slaughtering tens of the marauders at once. Xio was surprised someone as short as Rory could handle such a large weapon but more importantly, she shouldn't fall behind. She ran beyond the barricade and into the marauders, as soon as they surrounded her, she unleashed her hidden blades. In mere seconds she slashed the vital points of their body parts in between their armor with great speed and precision. Even when she missed and hit the armor her hidden blades were strong enough to pierce the armor meaning none of them were lucky enough to survive her wrath. In 5 seconds, all the marauders around her fell to the ground so she ran to the group to kill more. 

Kaneki got out of the MGDB-4 first and started firing at the marauders that got over the barricades. The number of marauders attempting this quickly grew out of fear of Rory and Xio who were slaughtering hundreds. Lelei noticed this and helped but not the way Kaneki expected as she blasted an explosive fireball at them all, killing most of them but also destroying the barricade. Though it technically didn't matter as now the rest were too afraid to try to go that way now.

The other marauders that weren't trying to hopelessly fight Rory or Xio ran to the other Italica soldiers using each other to get over the pikes and traps in the barricades. Those that actually managed to get over were trying to ambush the Italica soldiers but were suddenly decapitated. Even Rory and Xio were shocked by this they weren't anywhere close to the marauders and whoever did it was so fast they couldn't be seen.

"Haha, it's been a while since I've been in a battle as wild as this one. Though I think this is the first battle I actually enjoyed attending." Everyone then turned to the outside of the barricades where the Italica soldiers were and saw Yōsai standing with a bloody Katana which he quickly swung the blood off of. Princess Pina was next to him who seemed dazed, it was obvious he was extremely fast in not only killing the marauders but also dragged Pina there.

Itami and Kaito were still by the MGDB-4 and were sniping down any remaining marauders. Tuka was helping and surprisingly able to keep up with them as her enchanted arrows were able to fly quickly and follow her targets ensuring that, like them, she didn't miss once. Itami was expecting this battle to go on for a while but to his shock it ended extremely quickly. In a mere 30 minutes most of the marauders were dead and those left surrendered out of overwhelming fear.

Though that was just the marauders on the ground those still outside of Italica were unaware of what happened and planned on flooding in to ambush them. Then there were those that were those on the wall firing arrows or throwing knives at them. Itami quickly tried to protect Tuka, but Kaito beat him to the punch and hid her behind the MGDB-4. Kaneki used his own body to cover Lelei, which got him hit by all the arrows. Xio actually did the same with Rory, and so did Yōsai with Pina, actually making her blush as a result. 

Though unsurprisingly the arrows did nothing to any of them as their armor was already bullet proof. Though Itami wasn't convinced hence why he panicked despite the arrows bouncing off his armor. Itami and the marauders on the gate were shocked by this thought for the marauders their problems had only begun. 

Kuribayashi was the first of the others to get there, she quickly started punching through them or hitting them with the butt of her rifle. They tried hitting her with arrows or stabbing her with their swords but it all either bounced off or broke without leaving so much as a scratch on her armor. As soon as Kuribayashi noticed this she smiled and continued to rampage through the marauders. With her bulletproof armor and near indestructible gun she was unstoppable and could rampage as much as she wanted. MTF High Commander Yōsai let go of Pina and as he did, he saw Kuribayashi taking down the marauders on the wall all by herself.

"Huh, and here I thought she was a whining brat that only ever complained. Perhaps I've been a little too harsh on her." Suddenly a SFH-2 ″Raven" flew by with its incredible speed, Yōsai knew what this meant and quickly picked up Pina to her shock.

"Ah! They arrived just in time! Apologizes your majesty, but you're going to want to see this!" Yōsai then used his incredible speed to rush towards the wall, up the stairs, and onto the ledge. Finally, he let Princess Pina down where she was still a little dizzy. When her vision finally cleared, she saw on the outside of Italica walls an army of hundreds of marauders. However, they weren't focused on getting inside the city anymore, instead they were focused on Raven. Princess Pina looked at it as well and was shocked to see such a creature if that's what it even was.

"Is... Is that a Wyvern?"

"Hahaha, no, something much worse." Suddenly three objects dropped from the Raven and it flew away as its job was done. The three objects revealed themselves to be three red giants. They all had crimson red armor and stood taller than any man in she knew or will know. They looked a little similar yet were completely different from one another.

One was skinny looking and had what looked to be a cat tail and cat ears. Another had a kakugasa, with his armor greatly resembling samurai armor and with a hilt that looked abnormally large to be for a single blade. The last one looked more like a large robotic angel with large mechanical bird wings on its back. 

"What... what are those things?!"

"They are Mobile Task Force Alpha-1 "Red Right Hand", courtesy of the Foundation." Pina looked to Yōsai in shock, she knew Yōsai was holding back information about the nature of the Foundation, but she wasn't expecting it to be anywhere near to this degree. Suddenly the three stood up and in response the leader of the marauders ordered everyone to attack them. The Cat Alpha-1 unit was the first to attack, she unleashed her claws and sliced through the marauders, easily ripping them apart. The Samurai Alpha-1 unit grabbed a large Katana hilt and placed it on his hilt after he pulled it out. The hilt was attached to a large katana shaped superheated chainsaw. He quickly slashed through as many marauders as he could, quickly cutting all who were unfortunately in his path, leaving nothing but pieces of burnt corpses. Then the last one unleashed his wings and flew into the air. he flew towards the marauders farthest away and started shooting at them with his assault rifle arm bracelets. As for those he didn't hit, he flew just low enough to allow his wings to slice through them at high speed. 

One of the marauders had tears in their eyes as they quickly lost all hope, they fell to their knees and begged for mercy as they could do nothing else. The Cat Alpha-1 unit noticed this and simply walked past him and slaughtered other marauders. The few survivors were able to notice this and quickly fell to the ground in surrender hoping their comrades would do the same while they could. After about 5 minutes the battle was finally over and of the hundreds of marauders from before, now there were only about thirty, all on the ground in surrender. 

"Monsters... All three of them hold a unique terror. Like the legendary ancient dragons." Pina was so shocked she forgot about Yōsai who heard what she said and was now in deep thought because of it. 

"Hm, that actually makes me wonder, Xio and Itami's squads together were able to hold back the Fire Dragon. I wonder if a single Alpha-1 unit could take them down." Princess Pina again looked to Yōsai in shock, but she then looked back to the Alpha-1 units which were seemingly stationary. I knew they weren't mercenaries, she thought to herself, if I had to guess they're probably an empire and most likely... the same one that conquered Alnus Hill. We can't make enemies out of them; I'll have to beg them to forgive the empire for its previous two attacks as well as the assault of the alliance. I might have to bow my head, but... Suddenly the Cat Alpha-1 unit stared at Pina spooking her, to which Yōsai laughed.

"Haha! It looks like Neko might like you!"

"Neko?"

"She's a member of the Japanese Division of Alpha-1. Probably the strongest might I add."

"Division?! As in there's more than one group of Alpha-1 units! More than three?!"

"More than three? This is just a squad, your majesty, we have at least a hundred Alpha-1 units. Though of course that's just Alpha-1 we have nearly thousands of different Mobile Task Forces all filled with either tens or thousands of units." Pina then froze in shock which actually concerned Yōsai. Oops... perhaps I said too much, he thought, but then again if she's going to be one of our inside people for the Empire then it might be good to let her know as much as she can. 

***

With the battle over Princess Pina and her court of Italica met with the Foundation at the capital of the city. There MTF High Commander Yōsai along with Captain Xio, Itami, and a few others form Xio's unit and Sigma-66. Though Kaneki, Kaito, Rory, Lelei, and Tuka weren't there as they were instead currently trading the wyvern scales with a local merchant. Pina was filled with dread as she knew they had no power to demand anything from the Foundation but still as a princess of the Empire she had to at least try to establish some dominance here. Now was no longer a battle of weapons and blood, now was a battle of words and wits.

"Ahem, first off on behalf of the Empire we'd like to thank the Mercenary group known as the Ess-Cee-Pee Foundation for saving Italica, surely songs and stories will be told of your exploits for generations." Yōsai and Xio looked at one another, though neither of them was afraid as soon the misunderstanding would be cleared. 

"But first things first, let us discuss the spoils of war, first off I understand as the victors all weapons and resources obtained are yours, however we would like to request possession of the prisoners."

"Actually, it's perfectly fine if you take the marauders' stuff as well as imprison them, though we would like to request possession of at least 5 of them for intel gathering. Besides that, do whatever you want with them." Pina was confused that they would only request five prisoners, but she shook it out of her head for now. Itami and his group were shocked at how Yōsai was willing to let the empire just do what they wanted to war with poisoners.

"Actually, Princess Pina, there's something more pressing we need to discuss." Pina gulped in fear as she really didn't like the sound of that at all. 

"As you said people will most likely begin talking about the Foundation and the amazing things it can accomplish, however we can't allow that." Everyone on Pina's side tensed up as this almost sounded like a declaration of war. 

"Please be at ease, I can hear your heart beating in fear. Actually, it might bring more confusion if I keep talking about it, so how about we just show you the contract." Yōsai turned to Kaneki who walked up to Hamilton, one of Pina's knights, and handed her a Foundation Computer Screen Pad. She was confused on how it worked and tried to understand it which almost led her to breaking it, so Kaneki had to quickly take it back. Instead, he just stood in front of Pina and held it up for her to read.

Document of Agreement: SCP Foundation and Saderan Empire

- The Foundation is allowed to take any 5 Captives form this battle. Their property, rights, and treatment are now under the jurisdiction of the Foundation and the Empire has no right to interject lest this contract be void. 

- The City of Italica is to be recognized as a Trading Port for the Foundation allowing Foundation staff to enter and leave without restriction. Class G Personnel who enter are to be treated as VIP's and never harmed by Imperial forces. 

- Blood samples are to be regularly taken from civilians. The purpose being to understand if Amnestic treatment will have any negative effects besides memory loss. 

- The Empire is to remain silent of all Foundation activity and actively assist the Foundation in ensuring that the public never knows the Foundation exists. 

- Failure to meet any of the agreements above will lead to the termination of the Imperial family and the swift replacement with a new emperor. This time, one more loyal to the Foundation and its dedication to the remaining in the shadows.

Pina was wide eyed in shock; she could barely understand what most of it was saying but the parts she did understand nearly gave her a heart attack. This was not the worst-case scenario she was expecting but she could definitely tell it wasn't better. From what she could understand, she was being asked to essentially erase everything that happened today from history yet still allow the Foundation to come and go as they please. Furthermore, if she didn't do this, they wouldn't hesitate to wipe out the imperial family and replace them with puppets for the Foundation. At this point Pina thought that Italica being bled dry of its treasures, being turned into Foundation territory, or heck many the enslavement of herself and the people of Italica was a mercy compared to this. 

Still, she knew she couldn't say no; if she ever tried to, there was nothing to stop those monsters in red armor from destroying everything she held dear. She saw what they were capable of killing an entire army in mere moments and with such violent efficiency. Pina swallowed her pride and raised her pen but then Kaneki quickly panicked and raised the pad away from her. After carefully explaining, Pina just pressed her finger on the signature line and with her fingerprint the agreement was set. 

***

With the agreement set; Pina, her escorts, and the other representatives of Italica waved the Foundation goodbye as they left the city. Everyone was cheering though Pina and her closest escorts like Hamilton and Grey knew the truth. Even if they wore no collars, even if they were not bound by chains, even if they won the spoils of the war; as of this moment, they were slaves of the Foundation. Pina was still a princess of the Empire but now she was going to have to do whatever the Foundation told her to, meaning she might have to directly challenge her father the emperor. 

"Princess? What should we do?"

"Hm, gather the people and ensure no one speaks of what happened today, tell them it's an imperial order, bribe them, anything."

"Princess there no way we can-"

"You think I don't know that?! Of course, it's an impossible task but we must try! If we don't the Empire will be doomed! You saw how efficient a few soldiers in black were not to mention... those monsters in red. with just one they could wipe out the Empire within a week. No, possibly in less time." Grey and Hamilton looked at Pina in fear, she noticed this and managed to calm down because of it. 

"You're afraid? Good! Consider that the motivation you need to get this task done! As of this moment the Foundation that claimed Alnus Hill doesn't exist! In fact, Alnus Hill doesn't exist either! It never did! I don't know how I'll get the rest of the Imperial court to comply without revealing the Foundation, but I will get it done if it's the last thing I do!" Suddenly gun shots could be heard in the distance. Pina was confused and got Grey's telescope and looked out only to see Foundation soldiers fighting against her Rose Order of Knights. 

"... oh gods... we're all going to die."

I had nothing better to do so I made a dumb meme to make myself laugh, staring my amazing husbando, Arto.

[eutxrpe]

hey xio!! again, congrats on 1k!! can I request a timestamp drabble at 3:50 am with shinsou(◕દ◕) with fluff 😋 take your time love, take care and stay hydrated ☺️

[3:50 a.m]

“...’toshi.”

silence.

“...’toshi.”

a muffled grunt.

“i swear- can you get off of me so i can pee?” your lover currently rests his head on your chest, legs entangled underneath the mass of blankets that you two had.

“no... you’re warm,” hitoshi murmurs, lavender eyes looking at you half-lidded & dreamy. “...you make me go to sleep easier, ‘member?”

you sigh and stare back at him. “love, it’ll be like two seconds.”

“no.” his grip on you gets even tighter as hitoshi pouts — the soft pink lips you love to kiss so often push out childishly— , and you think he’s purposely putting pressure on your bladder like the little shit he is. 

“insolent child.”

“i’m literally older than you.”

“my bad. insolent child-san.” a snort bubbles out of hitoshi before he could stop it. “let me go before i pee on you.”

“you’re gross...” he whines before his grip loosens on you, finally allowing you to leave. “and rude.. leaving me all alone like this, kitten.”

“why don’t you come join me then?” you call as you close the bathroom door. not even two seconds pass before you hear the sound of your boyfriend trying to walk with blankets piled on him. 

“hitoshi shinso, i did not mean that shit-”

Daomu Biji: Wu Xie Birthday Week

03/05 - 03/11

Today We Have Prankster Wu Xie!

What's funnier than playing a prank on an unsuspecting weasel of a person? The answer is playing a prank along with your friends, of course!

And Xio San Ye has the best actors/pranksters on his team.

As always, Pangzi is the leading actor in Wu Xie's mischief, but I was surprised to see the uptight doctor, Hou Dao Fu, join Xiao San Ye's little prank. How easy was it for Hou Dao Fu to just play along with Wu Xie's plan.

Also, can I confess that I loved seeing the good doctor confiscate Xu Xie's cigarettes? Hou Dao Fu is the best frenemy. 💗

Please give a first prize to 🏆 Pangzi for selling the lie so convincingly well.

And give Hou Dao Fu props 👏 for the dash of "spice" he added to Wu Xie's concoction 🧪 [ I mean plan].

And, I just love Hou Dao Fu's complicitous grin. ♥️

[xioluna]

“Hola Matilda, mi favorita panadera!”  Xio exclaims as she walks into Panaderia Familiar, her favorite bakery by far.  Her favorite because the owner is Cuban, like herself, and there are these pastelitos de guayaba y queso that despite everything, Xiomara can’t resist.  And trust, that she has tried, too many times. She knows having them for breakfast almost every morning is screwing with her goal, but it’s a little taste of home she didn’t think she would get in Sunset Port, and it makes her day, and she’s not going to get rid of that feeling. There is something about it, the first bite, that reminds her of mornings with her sister back in Los Angeles, back when they were on good terms. Laughing over pastelitos and cafecito.  She knows that it is overly nostalgic, but she lives for it. 

The way she walks in, sans scrubs, means she’s got the morning off. It’s rare, because working as a first year intern means they like to schedule you to do the brunt work, but she’s happy to be free for the day. Of course she’s out for coffee and food first thing though, what else would she be doing? “I feel like seeing your face is the morning is just what gets my day going. Either that or the coffee,” she knows it’s a combination, of both her friends smiling face, and the caffiene hitting her blood stream. “What do you got for me today? Anything good, anything new?”

[honestlyfrance]

Hope you get over your writers block soon, here’s a question. The titles for your fics are beautifulll, how do you come up with them? That’s something I always hate to think about

Hi! Thanks for saying so, means a lot, and yup, I'm feeling pretty motivated after writing this lmao 💕

kinds of titles and how to

Titles are hard to do. Period. My title game now I'm in a new fandom/platform is the worst to date. I once sat down pre-AO3 and made 16 titles and they're pretty lovely. Anyway, always remember this: Look at other titles for inspiration or find inspiration instead. That's all you'll need to know, so I'll share some titles along the way to give you some inspo.

First thing you need to do is know what makes a title. Titles are always from a Motif (a recurring theme), a line, a character, a question, the goal from the work. It's a must that you're comfortable with and like your title, because that will always be with you. 

Another thing is I look at other titles so I can make up my own. Finding inspiration is always key. Titles from media/books I look up to are: Sense and Sensibility; Great Expectations; The Town That Dreaded Sundown; The Old Man With A Gun. Getting inspired by your own titles are always a must too, because it gives you that boost of confidence, like, "I made this one great title so I can definitely make more!" I'll give you some ideas from mine and ways I made them, so some tips and tricks for you! But, and this is addressed to everyone, please don't copy them! They are my wips and my work, don't take them away from me!

Latin or other languages: Stella & Cera; Carpe Noctem; Apotelesma; Malacia; Eros.

Might I suggest looking up Latin phrases? This gives your work a fancy name, sure, but this works even better if it's in the work itself. For example, I used Stella & Cera because the work is Icarus inspired. Stella means Sun and Cera means wax, which aligns the myth pretty right. I used Carpe Noctem because the setting was nighttime and the characters were taking a chance, hence, Seize the Night. You can definitely use any other language, but it's best if you pour yourself into research so you won't use a foreign word mistakenly.

Dark adjectives or verbs: What Alexander Killed; What Killed Sam?; Killing Kennedy; To Kill A Masochist; The Synthesia Project; Justice For Maria; Bury Me Here.

Don't use this kind of title if no one is going to die, but you could use it in a metaphorical sense. Did you kill their mentality or an Identity? Go ahead then! I use this kind because it really just sets the record straight, and it definitely adds tension and stakes at first glance. It sends questions and goals all in one, and it definitely catches your eye, doesn't it? You'll feel afraid of it, definitely, but again, it's either because the work is a murder mystery, thriller, or horror, which this kind should fall into.

Names: The Missing Letters Between Sergeant James Barnes and Detective Samuel Wilson; Victorina Gavin; Mirage Of John; Reaching Elizabeth; Jan; The Other Half of Eliza; francis, love me; The Waiter.

This kind of title gives you a lot of freedom because it gives the readers the names of the characters in the work at first hand! It's best paired with adjectives (Reaching Elizabeth), statements or dialogue (francis, love me), or it could be a standalone (Victorina Gavin). If you're using this kind for a fandom where everyone knows the character, then you shouldn't use the standalone name. Maybe use an adjective or noun; use it freely but not insultingly or degradingly.

Places: Find Me In San Francisco; In The Hangar; Alexandria & Berlin; Two Rooms; Kingdom of Filasa; Nevis to Geneva.

This! I always have a soft spot for these kinds of titles, sue me. If you're going to use these kinds of titles, make sure there's a notable setting in the work itself and if it's an important place. You can use it with nouns/verbs (Find Me In San Francisco) or you can make connections with it (Nevis to Geneva). I only ever use this kind as a last resort, only because I have a favorite kind of title lmao since some of my works don't have notable places except for setting. There should be emotional attachment, I think, if you use this. For example, Nevis To Geneva is about Soulmates from different countries— continents even —attached by a string. Kingdom Of Filasa on the other hand, wherein the kingdom itself is a major plot point in the work.

Statements/Poetic/Metaphor/Motif: The Study In Belief; life & liberty; Angels In Moonlight; Bouquet Of Lovers; No Name; We Almost Became When; Liberty Wears A Green Gown; It Rains On April 10th.

This is my type, for sure. This kind works best if your work is poetic or emotional, but even if it isn't, it really pulls readers in. I know I will be. Some of these have double meaning, but they're mostly there for poetic reasons or just plain right off the bat. Angels In Moonlight: summoning an angel at midnight. We Almost Became When: "almost" is a Motif (recurring theme) in the work. Bouquet Of Lovers: the number of flowers in your hair is the amount of Soulmates you have. This kind of title comes to you at the last minute or before you're going to bed, there's no in between.

Double meaning: No xio us To xic; State Of Stone; please. touch. me; Defective.

These are fun because you can reveal the actual meaning in the work, for example: No xio us To xic is from Noxious Toxic, explaining that the MC hasn't gotten over his past toxic relationships, giving him an obscured idea of love. State Of Stone is actually set in a museum, and in some point in the work, they're asking for help, hence State of Stone, SOS. Defective on the other hand is about how a detective's career crashed when she wasn't able to cover up the rumors of her current case.

Lines and Dialogue: to bleed on paper is to create; Death To The Ending; believe not, dad; hurt not, love; my achilles & patroclus; offering love until it hurt.

This became my go to when I joined AO3, just because it's easier, which it is! You're just taking your favorite line from any place of the work and slap it on as a title. Note: Make sure it doesn't spoil the story! This works perfectly if there's a line regarding the whole plot or simply summarizes the work (believe not, dad). Offering love until it hurt was a line that inspired the whole work actually, and was able to summarize the MC's goals and beliefs in one go.

If all else fails, slap a song title on it (If you're doing fics!). I literally do not realize some titles are song titles with how good it is, and if you're wondering, song titles are valid. Shut up, I love you, even if you say you can't title. Somedays I wish I could just do that.

Hope this helps 💖 there are definitely more kinds of titles, but these are mostly the basics!

whoever said money can't solve your problems must not have had enough money to solve 'em

drugs tw behind the cut

hello fellas this is my final beb and I want to apologize in advance because she’s the definition of a Rich Bitch™ and I love her

Name is Xiomara Paloma Garcia Flores and she’s 26 years old

She’s a newcomer hailing from the Mexican state of Baja California Sur (specifically the Cabo San Lucas area) where her father was elected governor

Although her father Ricardo’s election was within the last few years, the family has always had money thanks to the Garcia family having been heavily involved in drug running before Ricardo ever met his wife, María Flores. When they met, though, she became heavily involved as well, the two of them eventually taking over the organization when Ricardo’s father passed away

Xiomara has always known a good life because of it and has been spoiled rotten accordingly with anything she could have ever wanted. She tends to gear all of that money towards clothes and trips to wherever she wants to go in the world. She is incredibly materialistic because of this and lowkey classist so if you don’t have money, she probably won’t give you the time of day 🤷🏽‍♀️

Her parents have always been super involved in the drug running and then obtaining the governership, so they primarily only paid attention to Xiomara when they wanted her to do something for them to help them achieve an advantage in their power grabs. She has always desired a relationship with her parents and attempted being the perfect little angel for them to no avail, so since she figures they won’t pay attention anyway, she may as well act however she wants which is why she acts like a spoiled brat more often than not

She’s here in Edens for her own protection. Being the head of a drug running organization has won her parents some enemies and she has become the target of some other organizations trying to take control. Since Fatima Fuentes is one of their best distributors, they’ve sent Xio here to be under her care until it’s safe for her to come home

Xio absolutely hates it here because it’s such a small town with very little to do and she’s going to make sure everyone knows she hates it here lmao but I promise she’ll warm up to it eventually

She is also going to be very much into the physical distraction of plenty of hookups with anyone who is willing because she’s unable to use social media that could be tracked and she needs Things/People To Do

hmu on Discord if you’d like to plot with her or have other questions!!!

Pleasantview +25 years recap

Pleasantview +25 years is my attempt at joining all my favorite families through out the franchise in one save. I've spent about four days in creating over 45 families that populate all of the worlds I have in The Sims 4. And when I say I created them, I actually mean I downloaded them from the gallery. =//) I'm not particularly good at creating Sims... Willow Creek are only Pleasantview Sims, Oasis Springs are mostly Strangetown Sims, Newcrest are mostly rich Sims from all the games, San Myshuno is everyone I didn't know where to locate them, mostly single Sims, and Banacle Bay are the creative and LGBT Sims. I also really need to thank @homijoh for sharing her rule set with us some time ago. I loved it and I'm using it for this rotational game play.

Yuan Household: Kien – After a successful career as a k-pop icon, Kien retired in San Myshuno.

Brindleton Bay:

Climate Household: Arthur, Janine, Summer, Nicolas – Just the normal Climate family from the gallery.

Delgato Household: Supriya, Justin, Pierce, Evie – Just the normal Sims 4 Delgato family.

GilsCarbo Household: Goopy, Alice, Celeste – Everybody's favorite townie with his Sims 3 family.

Hecking Household: Just the ordinary Sims 4 Hecking family.

Lynx Household: Just the ordinary Sims 4 Lynx family.

Monty Household: Mercutio, Tybalt – After their hate turned into love, those two ran away together and now own a huge mansion in Brindleton Bay.

Ottomas Household: David – After growing up with much to many siblings, all David wanted to be was alone.

Una Household: Natasha, Joana – Nobody ever knew who Joana's father was. It's totally wasn't obvious!

I haven’t played much until now, only about 36 hours with the Broke I household. I suspect it to be a bit buggy with SO many sims (it’s already 147) but I hope my PC can handle it. I’m really excited to play this!
