| ~~~~~~~~~~~Oni-Yuki/Mei~~~~~~~~~~~ Noticing Byakuren's quite nature compaired to earlier she decides not to push it as the next singer heads past them. "Huh...you are an odd one.." Deciding to not puch the situation anymore shes not sure what to make of him now. Heh well Its not that important, I get money either way, plus I really don't keep it, pleanty of hospitals and kids that need it more than I do.." Hearing his remark on the fire she laughs a little. "Oh thats the least of the dangers I faced, some life threatening like.." Realizing she almost let some things slip she changes the conversation with mixed truths. "Just some stuff in my childhood. But yeah the fire wasn't dangerous to me at all." With another polite laugh she takes a seat on a bench thats against the wall. "But I know what I'm doing with it, so don't try and copy me." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Eric~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As Sakura leaves he makes his way back towards the room that had the Piano, he would be ready when the time came, he had a job to do, and some Prussian Pride needed to be played on that grand piano once more. |

| "Violinist huh? I see that you're not only a charming ladykiller but also a multi-talented one, impressive. Well either way, you don't have to ask for the Oni to stall me. You can go after the princess if you want, I can't promise that I won't tease you for it later though" She teased him with a grin. Some might say that she's stabbing herself with her own words, while there's actually something deep down in her feels more like she slightly defeated. She then went and sat next to Oni, tapping her shoulder as a praising. "But I have to admit that your show have caused quite a the awe, both from me and the crowds out there. You really worth of being called an 'Oni' after all" |

| William smiled slightly at Oni's words. "Ah, don't worry, I'm not going to steal your original dance. I can't even dance anyway..." He says out loud but murmurs the last part. "I love what you're doing... It's something I myself wouldn't have the courage to do unless I had a lot of money..." He told her about the thing of giving her money to others. "Well, I played a lot of things before I became a singer... Even produced electronic music. Guess it runs in the family." William told her with a small blush on his face. He got slightly affected by the "charming ladykiller" remark. Faking a cough and recovering his composure. "Anyways,I already said that now's not the time. She goes to the same school as I do, so I'll get a lot of time to know her." He told her with a smile on his face. |

| Looking at the pair she shrugs. "its nothing major really, besides this is just a side job, It can't be fulltime for me really. " Listening to the two other things seem to be on her mind as she crosses her arms. Sakura's display should be done though soon. And with that, there was one more..or was it the final part? "Ah so you'll be going to the school with her, I can assume who that other demon was now. Too bad I go to school elsewhere. " |
| (Gonna rush this...) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Érika ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As Sakura finished the song and left the stage, a long silence issued over the stadium. Some might've thought that Sakura was the last performer, but apparently someone else appeared. The girl's long blonde hair fluttered as she walked towards the stage, followed by an anonymous band. Érika had payed the band just to play the song. However, she wrotte all of the song by herself. However... A sudden thought of sadness hit her mind as she remembered that her father wasn't going to be able to listen to it. To not even have a chance at seeing her performing at a grand stage. Érika's silence was broken by the darkness suddenly veiling the stage into a dark atmosphere. With that, the kick off is given by the drums and the song starts. "A dagger of distrust finally pierces a vein..." Érika's voice echoes through the stadium as she sang, placing her hands on the microphone and gripping it tightly. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Miyami ~~~~~~~~~ As soon as the girl entered the stage, Miyami flinched slightly. looking down on the ground and freezing still. "I can't believe it... You actually did it..." She murmured as she suddenly got up from her seat and started to walk away from the show. For her lack of luck, Érika actually was able to see her escaping the situation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Érika ~~~~~~~~~~~~ As the song ended, Érika's eyes immediatly moved towards Miyami... Escaping? Why!? She thought to herself as she suddenly went down the stage, not really caring for formalities. She made a quick rush towards Miyami... Whose physical abillity was absolutely lacking. If Érika really tried, she would be able to catch up with Miyami with ease. And it didn't took her long to do so. As Miyami tried to escape the situation, she overheard Érika's voice in the distance, yelling her name. Miyami took a glance back, only to confirm that Érika was closer than she expected. Miyami turned around and walked carelessly. However, she was easily stopped by Érika's hands pulling her shoulder. As she did so, Miyami got to look directly at Érika's large blue stare. Érika faced Miyami, directly seeing Miyami's cold, emotionless stare. "Why? Why did you run away? You know... Dad's no longer there... You can come back..." Érika said, to which she received then a cold glare. Miyami pulled Érika's hand away from her shoulder. "They shoved me and my mom away, Érika. You know better than I do, I don't belong there." Miyami coldly said as she stared at Érika's almost crying expression. "It's not like that! I know we can work it out, I know we can do something to bring you back to us... I know we can..." Érika's almost crying expression was a painful one... But it wasn't as painful as Miyami's emotionless stare. Cold, she narrowed her eyes. "No. We can't, Érika. I'm glad that you're still trying... But both of us know it's not like that." Érika's blue eyes stared at Miyami, uncertain of what to say. She didn't knew how to convince Miyami. "T-Then... Come to Hinode... I feel sad without you there, Nee-sama... Please..." Érika was stopped when Miyami suddenly embraced her. She was cold... But not heartless. "Shh... Calm down. I'm just one year older than you, Érika... Even I don't know what we can do. However... We'll still be reunited some time. Don't worry... You just need to be strong and hang in there..." Miyami said. Érika's supressed sobs could only be heard by Miyami, who released a small smile as she calmed down her "younger sister". It took a few minutes for Érika to actually recover her composure and go back to normal. Wiping her tears one last time, she spoke softly. "I'll bring you back someday..." She stated as she glanced back to see a car coming her way. When she looked in front of her, Miyami was already walking away. She waved her hands and glanced over her shoulders. "Good-bye..." She said as she left towards the crowd. Érika simply smiled and awaited for the car to pick her up. |

| ~~~~~Takashi and co~~~~~~~~ Aiko not wanting to see the closing as she was sure who would win follows suit after Miyami and Takashi who follows in suit, neither are sure what to make of the situation or what to do. As the girl gets in the car to leave Takashi flexes his jaw, but its Aiko that puts his thoughts into words. "Trouble?" She askes with a lofty stare as if not all that interested. Takashi sighing a bit then works up some words. "There is an orchistra next..or would you rather we just go from here?..but yeah what Aiko said, the hell was that all about?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~Eric~~~~~~~~~~~~ Waiting at the Pinano as its moved on stage, he wonders where in the hell James could be..time was drawing short.. |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~James~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Scratching his head he looked around for a way to tell where exactly he was. Not intending to get lost backstage though never the less he did. Walking around randomly for awhile he tried to spot any signs to tell him where he was. Sadly to no effect he didn't find a single one. Though what he did notice was the faint sound of piano music. "Eric starting already?" filled with urgency he started jogging. Looking for anything or anyone that could give him information to get to the stage. After awhile he finally ran into someone, literally. Apologizing he notices they're carrying an instrument and look like they belong in an orchestra. "You wouldn't be in the orchestra would you?" He says dumbly. "No, I'm just wearing the cloths and carrying around this instrument for looks" the person sarcastically retorts. Sighing James ignores it replying "Well do you know where the stage is?" "I'm set to perform soon and would rather not be late." "Yeah, though try not to run into anyone." the orchestra member retorts. He then proceeds to follow them to the stage. |

| ~~~~~~~~Eric~~~~~~~~~~~~ Noting no one is on stage but him as of now nods to the old man who explains that the votes would now be tallied. With that and a brief history leasson on the Piano Eric plays, songs in his mind fitting to the piano. Roling from one to the next he playes three in rapid order. One two Three As he finished the thrid it seems he shows not sign of slowing or stoping as the Orchistra enters hist music tone shifts to something more slow and down beat keeping with the orchistra. That being this He wonderd if James would get to do his little thing but it wouldn't be fully needed but the old man wanted the piece played. As the song finishes he closes the piano top and waits. Mia smirked some at the songs meanwhile backstage, she knew the thrist three, it was unlikely any civilian would get them. Though one was a folk song. |
RedArmyShogunMay 22, 2014 7:40 PM
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~James~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Finally being shown the way to the stage James arrives just as Eric begins to finish his last song with the orchestra. Looking around he tries to find something he has in mind for a song. Finally spotting it as a small drum with a operating pedal. Rigging it to produce the specific sound he wants he picks it up and rests it on his shoulder. Afterward he finds a fold out chair and carries it under his arm, resting against his side. He then asks the orchestra member who brought him here if they knew a specific song. Which they reply yes and that they have experience with playing it. With this he orders them to change up the instruments of the orchestra for the song while he keeps the attention of the audience. Agreeing as Eric finally finishes his last song and closes the piano. Walking out on stage he claps at Erics performance. As he reaches the mic he puts down the small drum and unfolds the chair. Searching his pockets hoping he still has the harmonica on him. Finding it he holds it up and says over the mic in Japanese "Going to be playing some American southern and western music, enjoy." He then lowers the mic to where it's at the same level of the chair and the drum. Sitting down he blows through the harmonica to get any dust it might have had. Then cupping it in his hands he beings playing Bye Bye Bird as a warm up. Singing the lyrics in English as that's what the original song called for. Eventually finishing it and mimicking Sonny Boys enthusiasm by playing it with no hands and clapping. Ending it with a long drawn out note he stops. Taking the harmonica out of his mouth he beats it against his pants a bit and shakes it. Getting any deposited spit from that song out in prep for the next one. As expected those still watching share mixed expressions. After he thinks it's ready he begins playing the second song, this one a bit more difficult and needing more skills. The song is Good Morning Little School Girl. Singing the lyrics in English as the last song he finally finishes. Doing the same routine as before with cleaning the harmonica. Though this time he can hear a few of the crowd actually clapping now. Smiling and satisfied with the harp he begins playing his third and last solo song. Though this one he starts using the drum for, peddling out a rhythmic beat he plays a train piece he was taught. Throughout the performance his foot is like a different being all together. Not missing a beat or going out of rhythm as he tests the harmonicas capabilities. Reciting lyrics in English that he had heard other harmonica players sing. Finishing it the crowd's applause are louder this time accompanied by a few yells in approval. Satisfied and thinking the orchestra has had enough time to prep. He cleans his harmonica one last time for the final song. He begins playing a eerie simple tune with his harmonica. Making distortions in it with his cupped hands. Then the orchestra slowly starts playing along with this melody, growing ever so louder as they begin to play Man with a harmonica. Eventually reaching the end of the song he lightly plays the tune and then stops. Standing up from the chair and bowing as the crowd starts clapping louder than it had. Raising the mic back to its original position he picks up what he brought on stage. Walking back behind stage he light bows to the orchestra to say thank you as he puts them back where they once were found. |

| Sakura After a killer performance, she goes to look for Eric. she wonders how good he will be at playing the piano. she see's a neko stuck on a tree, on the way and goes to get it. She climbs up the tree to get the cat. The cat scratches he on her hand when she trys to get it. she pets it either way an eventually gets it and goes down. she continues on her path to find Eric with her hand bleeding a bit and the cat following her, not far behind. |

| After the last performers began to leave the stage, she stood up from her seat and started making her way out of the area. Normally she would have left and gone home afterwards but she and Mia agreed to meet after the concert, back where they first encountered each other. The concert itself was quite entertaining to her. Even if walking through the crowds of people was annoying, the show made it worth it. As she walked she took her headphones hanging around her neck and placed them over her ears. She as well tried to shove her hands into her hoodie pockets instinctively, but quickly remembered that she was no longer wearing it. Kazuko let out a sigh as she shoved her hands into her jean's pockets, nearing the bench where she had first sat down and met Mia. |
 |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Aouli~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "It wasn't a personal request or anything" Aouli responded to her offer. During the concert he was amazed by the girl singing about the oni. Despite the flashy effects in her routine she gave real emotion behind the song. He noticed the voice and figure and thought it might be Mia. Though shaking his head he didn't figure her to be the type to do something like this. She was always flirting and seemed displaced, even so it was hard to ignore the evidence supporting his suspicions. Maybe there was something more to her than he had thought. If the song was any hint, she probably lost someone in the past. Maybe that's why she's the way she is he pondered. |

| Miyami's expression changed slightly if someone watched closely. Meeting Érika always softened her heart, making her have more gentle, yet still cold expression on her face. "Ah... She's my younger sister. We were raised together before I was forced out of the country and she went to live with her father... It's a long and stupid story, you two wouldn't want to hear it." She told them as she smiled, her expression seemed more soft as she did so, making her seem like she was geniunely happy. "Now, what should we do? Are you people going to watch the concert afterwards or do we go directly to the fighting Dojo for you two to start training?" She asked, still with a stupidly gentle expression. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Yaya remained silent. Most of the time she just started to listen to the music and pay attention to it. "Well, she sure is different from most of your students. I guess you could say that it is because she is actually singing. However... She seems to draw her emotions all out on the music. It's a good thing, but why she does that?" Yaya questioned quietly out of curiosity, she didn't wanted to cause an alarm after all. |

| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~Takashi and co~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Takashi and Aiko exchange a brief glance as Aiko smirks "Heh as if I want to see her win.." With that Takashi offers what aid he can. "IF you ever want to talk about it, I won't ask but I will listen, but yeah I get a feeling we might not want to be at the stadium." With that he wants to ask her more but he's not sure how..plus there is still the Situation of Aiko not showing any interest in returning to the tower.. sighing he motions for them to follow, making way to the fighters pier. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Yamada~~~~~~~~~~ Clenching his Jaw he thinks on it, though for reasons he himself wasn't sure on he did trust, even loved this woman so he could trust her a bit. "Well...Mia is a...special case, she's always been sadistic and cruel, people in training called her the Oni, because of it...well as the song says a Human fell in love with her, a rather kind boy named Yuki..brave man..look we don't do just assassinations and the like. But we don't encourage our troops to love each other. But he helped her personality a lot." Clearing his throat with a sigh he continues. "I can't say where, but terrorists took a nuclear reactor..it was a mission deemed too dangerous for normal soldiers to undertake, and if it failed, it would be a natural disaster..the terrorist breached the core..Yuki Sanada, one of our troopers, or rather Mia's lover, gave his life shutting down the core..those two had plans. When we found her and him, she was crying tears, screaming and pounding on the wall, he died with his hand to the glass looking at her..the radiation baddly burned most of his body, and she seen his death from start to finish, even tried to break the containment shield. So that song, its really her feelings on the matter. So far her singing and manipulating and dumping men after using them seems to help her..but.." Sighing once more he closes his eyes in silence. |

| Yaya's expression went from a calm, firm curious stare to a narrowed, interested thought. "I can't even say anything to try and describe how horrible that situation is. It reminds me of... Mom." She allowed the last words to slip her mouth as she suddenly looked away from Yamada. Rather strangely, her grip on his hand seemed to get stronger as she spoke once more. "So she uses music to let out her feelings... What an interesting way to let out stress. Well, each and everyone with their own ways." Yaya said. Though she said that, most times she never relieved herself from the stress. A sudden thought ran through her mind as she remember the last time she stole something. What an odd vision to have when speaking about someone else's problems. Either way, she returned her stare towards Yamada with a few more words. "I wished we could help her... However, I don't think we can do anything." She mused. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Miyami followed silently, not really saying anything else as she walked behind Takashi and Aiko. |

| ~~~~~~~~~Yamada~~~~~~~~~~ Scoffing a little he shakes his head. "If it were helping I would agree, shes not as bad as she was after that, tried to blow herself up with C4. But now as you can tell she's full of anger and cynical thoughts, shes still stable. Well for someone in our work, but I have my doubts. But yes, we all have our own ways, I meditate, Takashi has philsophy, that German has his piano, the American his Orphanage, I can help you find something as well if I need too." He could tell she was more botherd than she let on, but he knew better than to pry. But he couldn't always trust her to take him at his word, so in a surprise move, he gives her a quick kiss, before turning back to the show. Given all the talks she had with him, he might as well show he was being serious with her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~NPC~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The Old man overseeing the Venue bows to the crowd, singeling them to Silence he calls in all the singers, though, Sakura seems missing. "First off, thank you to our, community, Miss Shodo, and to our Performers! More so our surprise orchistra!" With a round of hand clappings he waits for it to die down and takes a deep breath. "First off I would like to say, under normal circumstances, Miss Oni-Yuki would have one, however your fire show was not cleared, and was a public hazard, so we are disqualifying you..however the judges have agreed to match the Shodo Award, for your Charities with the Cancer Treatement Clinic, and the City Orphanage and Youth Center as thanks for that performance." With a Polite bow Mia smiles, as if to tell the crowd she was fine with this, but inside she was seething with rage. As the spot lights criss-cross the old man speaks once more as his grandson Yoshi walks out with a trophy and the laughter of the crowd. Smiling and waving he watches the lights as they land on one target, Koutei. "Koutei! For your briliant performance, we can think of no other here worthy of prize money and trophy! Thank you so much. And all of our other great talent thank you!" With that a man off stage motions that the others may leave. "Would you like to have a few words?" The man off stage however holds his hand out for James. "The Harmonica if you please...it is a national treasure afterall, if you want to play it ever again however, the director will vouche for you, he'll do the same for your Friend on the Piano as well." ~~~~~~~~~~Oni-Yuki/Mia~~~~~~~~ Heading off to the stage room she punches a padded wall wanting to scream. Calming herself, she quickly strips It was time to throw off the nice yet sadist girl image she had made. Removing her contacts she dumps a bucket of water on her head washing out the dye causing it to look darker. Hurridly she throws on coveralls with a brown tank top, a baseball cap, and readies to leave the bulding. Maybe Kazu-chan would amuse her, maybe she would test out that Americans claim on always knowing a voice..but for now, she had to get out of this building. |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~James~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hmm, now where did I put that darn thing." James muses. Patting himself all over and checking all of his pockets. Though to no avail, he then puts his hand on his chin and thinks hard. "No where did I put that thing." After seeing the old mans expression stiffen and thinking he must be a bit frustrated he breaks his seriousness with a laugh. "Only kidding, it's in your back pocket." He says pointing behind the man. "Though even if it wasn't you could probably find it with the tracker." "You should probably move it to different area though." "It might be slight but it does alter the vibrations and sound of the harmonica." Smiling and bowing he thanks the man "It was a pleasure to be allowed to play it, thank you.' He then proceeds over to where Eric is still sitting. "Huh,your lady doesn't seem to be here, what'd you do with her?" he asks. |
|
| Yaya wasn't paying much of an attention to Yamada's movements and the kiss indeed took her by surprise. A small blush could be seen in her face, though the darkness clearly hid her expression. "I guess I could... Steal things or go in a robbery. That's usually how I took my mind off and got some relaxing time. However, I don't think I can do it... Can I?" She asked like a child asking to go out and play. She wouldn't do it if Yamada said no, but she would have to find another hobby for her. |

| Standing in line with the other performers. Byakuren's heart couldn't help but beat wildly and so loudly that it almost seemed to her that the others could hear it. Awaiting the results wasn't the only reason, standing infront of such numerous number of people made her mind go light and hazy. Byakuren is not considered antisocial as she gets along with her classmates and the people around her well, but to her right now, this is this and this is that. At first, she felt a bit frustrated when they announced Oni's disqualification. It didn't seem fair for her to be put out just like that. However, she was caught off guard and her heart skipped a beat when the lights focused on her and they announced the winner's name; Koutei. That was her name, and that was her trophy being handed to her. Taking a deep a breath, she smiles and takes both the trophy and the microphone to say her words. "In all honesty, I am at loss of words here. However, there's still things I know that I would have to, no, I would need to say anyway. That of course, would be all my gratitude to my band members who were my closest friends who supported me all the way, my fans who showed such enthusiasm both here and in the wide internet sea, and not to forget my family members including my brothers who indeed cheered for me despite seemingly being jerks who would even blame the raise of the electricity bill on me when I practice with my band at my house..." A portion of the audience laughed at last part, including Byakuren herself who tried to conceal her giggles. She then cleared her throat to resume "I am very pleased with my achievement, honored to have met such amazing opponents, thrilled and perhaps a bit anxious of would come next. So, right now I might have this shiny trophy in my hands but I still need all the support I can have in the future." She bowed, her smile further brightened when she straighten up. "Thank you everyone! I hope I can meet you all on a fabulous stage like this again someday!" |

| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Aouli~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After the concert came to a close Aouli noticed Alice was gone. He wasn't sure where she went or why he had the feeling he did. For some odd strange reason he felt like he might not possibly see her again. Thinking on how he should have at least given her the book she wanted. Trying to come to grips with this he slightly overheard someone talking about the fighting competition. They mentioned that it would be starting soon since the concert ended. Interested Aouli asks them "Where's it going to be held?" He had already been told but not actually gone to the ring yet. They responded "Over there, most of the fighters have registered and are waiting I believe." they said pointing to the right. "Register...?! Aouli thought to himself. He didn't think about having to register to fight, he assumed it would be taken care of. Quickly asking the two again he said "Where is the registration at?" They gave him weird looks and one of them pointed to the left and said. "Over there, though I believe they're done." Ignoring that last bit Aouli thanks them and starts to make his way to register as fast as the crowds would allow him. |
|
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Mia~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ As she leaves she notices Aiko, Yamada, Takashi, that one new girl and the one woman from before. She was very angry with how things went but maybe she could have a little fun. With a smirk she notices the girl is where she told her to be. With a smile she its down next to the girl with a ear to ear grin. "Hello there Ka-zu-chan. How would you like to meet some interesting people?" She wonders how long it will take the girl to figure out who she is in this other apperance. ~~~~~~~~~~~~Takashi and Co~~~~~~ Leaving Aiko to ready up on her lines side he notices Aouli in line and grins a bit at that, or least what passes for a grin on his face. "Well, well, late are we? Get out of that line, you stupid sailor." Motioning for Aouli to follow him he heads up the line while looking back at Miyami. He motions her to follow Aiko, it didn't seem like she would attack her now at least, and it would be faster for her to get in that way. |
| William was actually not surprised he didn't won or even got close. He wasn't here for the competition after all. However, what he did next was to surprise everyone, including the judges and the crowd. He walked towards the man with the microphone and catched it with ease, handing it to Byakuren as he nodded to his friends. Right now, after the Orchestra and everything else was done, the stage was all his and since Setsu didn't come, he now had all night to play. "Why don't you play another one for them?" He asked as he pointed towards his band, that had already placed everything from her band on the stage. "Come on, do an encore." He joked to her with a large smile on his face. |

| Kazuko was lost in her own little world, listening to her music until she noticed someone sit next to her. She hesitantly pulled down her headphones from her ears to around her neck in time for her to speak. It took her a few moments for her to realize it, but she figured out who it was after not too long. "So, is this one of your 'acts'? Or is it what you hide by 'acting'?" She inquired somewhat curiously. Kazuko then rose an eyebrow cautiously. "Exactly who are these 'interesting people' that you speak of?" |
|
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Aouli~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hearing Takashi's voice though not seeing him Aouli looks around. Finally noticing him he responds. "Yeah was enjoying the festival, isn't this registration though?" He says pointing as he follows Takashi. |
|
| ~~~~~~~~~~Mia~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Oh Kazu-chan, who knows the answers to that." Giggeling a bit her aura and facial features seem to go on to a full on hostile mod as her eyes seem to stare past Kazuko as if looking into her. "The Me you can't see its best you never see." Then as if going back to normal she laughs. "Kidding, its the fellow on that Piano, though I was going to meet will-san as well. Besides the Piano guy will be going to school with you, plus I work with him, he can't be that bad! Or how abotu we go drinking ehh?" It would be fun to see if that man was as stiff as he seemed. ~~~~~~~~~~Eric~~~~~~~~~ With a shrug he looks at James as that will fellow seems to be up to something. "Beats me, but I want some freach air. Care to join me Kamerad?" Not even waiting for an answer however he walks out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~Takashi~~~~~~~~ With a sigh he shakes his head. "Yes, for the normal people, you are registerd with the schools team. We don't even use this line. This is for the Exhibitionist fights, we are in the Tourny, so we have nothing to worry about. I take it you found new employment today? You didn't show up to fish." |
| At first, Kazuko let out a soft sigh, fully expecting that answer. However as Mia gained some hostile intent, fake or not, it was easy to see that it scared her, at least slightly. "I-I don't know..." She stuttered out, stopping to regain her composure before continuing. "I'm not sure that would be the best idea..." She added. The reason for her hesitation was simply that, although she held somewhat of a grudge towards people in general, her fear was more prominent towards men. |
|
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~James~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Sure, it's quite humid here." He replies, follow Eric as they make their way off stage and away from the busyness of the festival. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Aouli~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Ohh alright, wasn't aware." he replies. Though at the mention of new employment his mood turns into one with a bit more seriousness. "Yeah, seems I'll be working with you and your co-workers now." "Funny how you turned down all my offers and yet I still end up helping." he said with a light laugh, realizing the irony in it. "Wait...the fishing contest is over?" Damn, actually wanted to compete." "To late now I guess, hows your day been?" He said with a smirk. He knew today was the day Aiko and Miyu had to settle their differences. Though was curious to know the end resolution. |
|
| ~~~~~~~~~~Eric~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Now out in the open he exhales and notices one of the girls from their dossiare who catches site of him and forms a saddist smil on her face, she looked like a Demon he remarks to himself, as the other girl looks a bit shaken. Walking their way he decides to see what his co-worker is up to. "..Herr Frau over yonder looks a bit..insane, Ja?" ~~~~~~~~~~~Mia~~~~~~~~~~~~ With a vile smirk she grabs the girl by the hand pulling her to her feet. "Oh but I think it will be fun!" Easing it into a normal smile she notices the pair going to her..good this would save some work, lets see how Kazu-chan Reacts. As she pulls she falls which should likely throw the girl into an interesting position. ~~~~~~~~~Takashi~~~~~ Sighing he stares. "No you'll be working for someone else though who knows." Thinking a bit he wonders. "Well..I'm a few thousand Yen less in my account now. Not that I ever spend much...plus both of them had a rought time here lately..I'm worn out honestly. As to the fishing who knows, maybe your old man will win it himself." ~~~~~~~Yamada~~~~~ Walking next to Yaya he suddenly gets a call, and his jaw goes riggid with what he's told. "Connect me with the OFficer in command right the hell now. NOW!" He understood how deadly this situation was.. |

| Yaya looked towards Yamada with an interested expression on her face, along with all the seriousness she could muster. "What's happening? Tell me." She questioned with a serious tone as she stared him, her eyes narrowed. |

| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~James~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Following him he witnesses the girl along with Eric. Not sure what to think of her he replies. "I guess, though she seems to be enjoying herself." He wasn't one to judge books by their covers so to speak. He had experience with people faking persona's to get an advantage. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Aouli~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Who knows indeed." "Rough time?" "Did they end up fighting or something?" "Looks like it, that cold is finally catching up with you like I said heh." "I highly doubt that, he isn't one to fish for sport or competitions." "Also he should be out with mom enjoying their new found time together." he says as they continue their conversation. |
|
| "You probably do... but you don't have a reason to think otherwise." Kazuko protested further as she was pulled off the bench. She then took note of the very people that Mia was speaking of. She suspected that Mia would try something mischievous, and was proven right when she was practically thrown at them. There wasn't really anything she could do to stop it and so she instinctively closed her eyes and awaited impact. |
|
| ~~~~~~~Eric~~~~~ Seeing the smaller girl hurld at him Eric not only allows her to hit him, but breaks her fall. With a scoff he helps her up looking her over to make sure shes okay his stern gaze seems oddly soft. "Ach, Are you Okay Herr Frau? It seems your friend there is a clumsy Ox it seems." With a curtly nod he waits for her to reply. ~~~~~~~~Mia~~~~~~~~~~~~ Barely containing a pissed off stare she gets up rubbing her bottom. "Opps..teh heh..seems I'm a bit clumsy afterall." Bastard..not only did you keep that same damn compossure, you didn't even take advantage to cop a feel on her.. ~~~~~~Takashi~~~~ "No..its not something I can talk about really, and ah yes, those visions of yours. I'm telling you, go become a fortune teller." Taking a breath he leads the pair up to the line for them, where they are waved through, heading for their schools spot he sighs fully planning to rest as much as he can. Though with a little smirk he has to admit today wasn't that bad. ~~~~~~~~Yamada~~~~~ Holding up a finger, he didn't like treating Yaya like this, or her being in charge ar times, but now wasn't one of those. "Okay but me on line with him now.." Glancing at her he can finally talk. "Long story short some lunatic has taken a bank hostage, killed or wounded a Swat Team plus some unarmed cops, he's using a Sword and a Submachinegun. He's asking for the Army to send someone to talk to him..he's also purposely shooting people for the fun of it, and is demanding Pizza's.. Sorry for shooshing you..I had to hear everything on this. They also claim to have set up explosives in the building. Its not your brother however.." |

| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~James~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Watching things unfold James doesn't know really what to think. It appeared as if the girl threw her instead of it being a act of clumsiness. Though knowing Eric he knew it wouldn't go anywhere. Standing there quietly he just watches things progress. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Aouli~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "hmm, alright if you say so." He says, knowing prying anymore wouldn't get him much. "It's not like that Takashi, they are random and I can't control when they happen." After being waved through he notices Takashi's sigh and his posture. It seems like he's been through quite a bit today so Aouli decides to keep chatter to a minimum. |
|
| "N-Nothing to be concerned about..." Kazuko murmured in response as she allows him to help her up. She took the arm he helped her up with and rubbed it slightly as if it was hurt in some minuscule way. Her reaction, which could easily be taken as being shy or timid, was actually due to fear. Even if the man was quite nice or caring, she couldn't help feeling at least slightly scared in the mere presence of them, let alone getting in such close proximity with one. |
|
| Yaya's serious gaze turns into a small glare as she is simply shooshed. "Well, that sounds like a serious problem." She says as she looks away from Yamada, actually standing with an annoyed expression. It was only when he said sorry and explained the situation that she came back to her normal and calm expression. "Hmm... That sounds... Strange. It's been a long time since some kind of lunatic actually attacked. To make it worse, it's a bank. What else can they tell you about him? Appearence or anything like that?" She questioned, immediatly intrigued. She knew someone that was extremely insane like that as well and would do things only for the fun and thrill of being attacked. |

| ~~~~~~~Eric~~~~~~ Looking down at the girl he lowers himself a little by bending his knees. "Ach you seem okay,..good good." Noticing her rubbing her arm he takes some effort to look to make sure she's okay. She looked mighty small and frail..his mother was much the same, but she was also something this girl did not seem to be. Happy. "If you say so I will leave it at that...I am sorry if I troubled you My frau." Bowing politely to her he notices the girl back behind her seems to be hiding some expressions. "I am sure it was an accident, and it was no problem breaking your fall, herr Fräulein. But are you okay really?" (replied to yaya in the other thread) |
| "N-No... I-It wasn't you're fault in the least..." Kazuko assured him. "T-Thank you for your consideration." She further added. Yes... Accident indeed... She mentally spoke, sneaking an accusing glance back at Mia before turning her attention back to Eric. "Y-Yes... I'm q-quite alright... I assure you." She stated. With how much she was stuttering it was only natural that he believe otherwise. "I... gain a horrible s-stutter at times." |
|
| Sighing a bit Eric isn't sure why, but he reaches into his pants pocket and hands her a choclate bar from the looks of it rather expensive one at that with German markings. "Its from my Fathers homeland, maybe it iwll help you calm..Pardon me." Him, James, and Mia all get calls readign the text they exchange brief glances. "Ach sorry My Frau, I have work to do." (next time they meet will be post event at school likely) Mia sticks her tongue out and whipsers in Kozuko's ear. "My my, you are afraid of him ehh, what a shame, maybe you could make that stern face of his smile. I'll be seeing you again, ahahaha." Laughing she smiles a bit and waves. The three would soon be in a van heading north and gearing up. (astros thats the next place to type) |
| Yaya walked arm in arm with Yamada around the Festival once more. They had only a few more minutes before Yamada had to leave to the fighting competition. "Today was a fun day, Yamada. We should do this more often, when we have the chance." She tells him, geniunely smiling in happiness. She was extremely happy right now and, even though she had scowled at him a few minutes ago, now she was definitely attached to him in all ways possible. "You see, when we are finally freed from all this madness, where would you like to live?" She questioned him, actually curious about it. |

| Smiling a bit but with a forelorn look he seems to ponder. "Well provided I'm not killed or stuck in this work, Japan has several small islands that are home to no one. Normally as thanks we are given one with a substantial retirement. Mostly to keep us isolated and our mouths shut. One fellow I know lives in a manor, one has his own harem..heh the law over looks it, another became an assassin, but enough of my blattering Ma'am. I have one island set aside for me, its near this city actually, maybe one day I'll show it to you, oh don't worry we arn't held prisoner there. We have ways to move..of course things like marriage or children weren't a major consideration at the time..so...ah excuse me." Picking up his phone his face goes rigid with a look he had not shown at all till then rigid fear and rage. "Repeat that again..slowly, James-san..repeat it again..I want to be sure I heard correctly." |
| Yaya smirked slightly as she heard him speak. "Oh, but I don't want to have children before I reach a certain age. I'm not sure yet, but I plan in having one after we enjoyed ourselves enough." She said with a playful tone. She closed herself to his face but before she could give him a kiss the phone rang and she immediatly let go of him. Last time she got in his way, he just shooshed her. It was better to not get involved until he ended now. |

| "Very well..I'll look into it. Standby for further insturctions" Closing the phone he seems to harden into a form of Iron Resolve as in the previous time, Yaya hadn't really seen his serious side much. And part of him wonderd if that wouldn't make her go eventually. But for now he had a job to do, and thousands of lives to protect. "If what our prisoner has told us is true..your brother is insane. Come with me at once. We are going into the underside of the Stadium..a Nuclear Explosive Device may be here, about to kill everyone here. Should it go off, I don't think I need to tell you what this will lead towards." Part of him however hoped it wasn't true. However he seems to have more to say. "I want to keep this as quite as possible, I'll contact the Russians, they'll retrive the bomb, or we'll send it to the sea far out. What happens here today has happend a few times in various places, but we can't let word of this fact become known." Reaching into his pants he pulls out a handgun pulling the slide back, loading it, he puts it back into the same pocket. "We'll shall we?" |
| Yaya sighs as she follows him once more towards the source of the problem. It seemed like things were completely out of control right now. "I know that my brother is insane, Yamada. There's no need for you to tell me that. However, what kind of insanity are we talking about here?" She questioned as she looked towards him. She didn't expect to hear what she did, however. "Nuclear Explosive Device? What the hell, Yamada? That's just plain insane and impossible. I know we're talking about my Brother here, but I doubt he had anything to do with a damn Nuclear Bomb." She tells him in whispers. She understood the situation, but maybe it was all but a lie. "All right, I'll follow you, but I don't think we can have something like that wasn't noticed." She told him, calmly following him. She smiled briefly as she followed him when he told her about getting it all quiet. She nodded her head with a calm expression as she tapped her legs to see if she was carrying her knives with her. It seemed like she was and she quickly smiled a little as she nodded to him again. |

| "You would be surprised. I don't think its a big one, but the Tactical ones..well 2 or 3 tend to get stolen every year. There are thousands of these, They don't count towards the Start Talks Mostly. As to your brother, I don't blame you for his actions, but given that ship, helicopter, the German hired guns? I don't want to take any chances. Hopefully it IS nothing." With that he heads off towards the Stadiums storage and movement corridors. On the way he sighs a bit. "Most people don't get how fragile this world is. And it might be better that way." (I assume you have something in mind here.) |
| "I do hope it is nothing. After you listed all we've seen from him so far, it does seem like he has enough budget to even buy one of those tactical bombs." She tells him as she walks right beside him. Right now, she felt like holding onto his arm again, but she knew she shouldn't do it. They had to maintain focus on the job and on finding the bomb. As they walked through the corridors a white-haired man got out of a door and locked it with the key. He wore a uniform of the Orchestra of AoiHoshi, in other words, he shouldn't be down here. "Hey, should that guy be here?" She questions Yamada as she sees the man exiting the room, that room apparently lead right to below the stage. |

| "No and he wasn't on the stage with the others either. I would remember a man that looked like that. Lets check it out." While not minding her arm hold, here was not the time or place, moving his arm from the hold he draws his sidearm heading towards the door. With a nod he motions for her to be ready.."One...Two..Three!" With that he raises his leg up kicking the door open, handgun drawn. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~Takashi~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Exhaling a bit an annoucer steps up on stage as the league he was mentioning earlier starts its fights, these didn't matter to him much, but they did help pass the time at least. "So, as you asked me Earlier, my Islander Friend, do you plan to win this?" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Aiko~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Getting her and Miyami past the lines was pretty simple however, with a slow exhale she faces the girl partially when they have some seating alone. "I assume you have something you want to talk to me about..likely in regards to him?" |
| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Aouli~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Watching the matches with slight interest he chuckles a bit at Takashi's question. "Not particularly no, I just plan to have fun." "I don't get to spar with skilled opponents all that much." "You still planning on winning I assume? |
|
| Kazuko reluctantly took the chocolate bar, staring at it for a few moments before looking to the three leaving, then back at the chocolate again. She let out a sigh and began to make her way out of the festival, placing her headphones over her ears once more. She was really only interested in the concerts, not the fighting competitions. Her thoughts began to mull over the recent events. What the hell was with that comment? 'So you are afraid of him?' Of course I am! She growled in her mind. And that smiling part... How would I even be able to do that when I myself have not smiled genuinely in years... Kazuko then mentally sighed and stared back at the chocolate bar in her hands, contemplating whether to actually eat it or not. |
|
| Yaya followed behind Yamada and remained quiet as he kicked down the door. Right ahead of Yamada, the Nuclear Bomb stood, with it's decimeter calculating the ammount of decibels surrounding the area. It had already been activated ever since the start of the singing competition, beeping everytime the numbers became different, they had only ten minutes. "Well, the guy wasn't lying, it seems like this is a damn Nuclear Bomb." She mused as she walked closer. However, seeing that Yamada was keeping himself ahead of her, she looked around the area. Suddenly, she pulled off Yamada's arm. "Careful!" She yelled as, from a side of the room, spikes flew towards the middle. Ending up with both of them hitting the sides of the room again, she looked towards him with a calm expression. "Of course he wouldn't leave it easy like this..." She mused, talking about her brother. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Miyami ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Are you fine with the way things are right now? I mean, I guess you would prefer to have him all for yourself, right?" Miyami questioned Aiko, with a calm expression on her face, as she stared aimlessly at Takashi. Though she herself had the desire to stay beside Takashi, she didn't knew if she could call that love. Though it is the first time she decides that she wants to stay near someone. |
