invinciblemikey

get the lame ass part out of the way first, im manjiro sano, go by mikey, the owner of the gigantic dojo near the farm and also the reason why sometimes you hear a motorbike around aldrip

so. shitty times and the way i would usually deal with it aint available so heres what im thinking
beginning of the next month, in front of the sano dojo, fighting tournament. two categories - powered and non-powered, but if you're powered and your skill or wtv can be null in battle like yall who got personas and the fuck else, you can join either category, but just one.

ill randomly select whos fighting who in the first round and then the winners fight in the second round and so it goes until someone wins. one winner per category

no fkn idea of the prize. accepting suggestions

ill keep the dojo open afterhours this month for whoever wants to practice. and if u are my student and u sign up and dont make top 5

i dont wanna be u training next month

invinciblemikey

if u someone i know comment on this post so i know ur alive and well n if u aint well dats fine too just holla so i dont have to hunt down every single one of you fuckers babu can only take so much of this shitty forest terrain

also if u died no worries we all die one time or another or several it wont be the last im p sure. better get used to it

invinciblemikey

back in japan this time of the year around july-august there's somethin called obon. if ur religious like me then this time of the year is meant to say hello to the spirits of your deceased cuz they come around and stuff and to commemorate and celebrate em. if ur not religious then its a party with hella food and games either way.

well. i wanna make it happen here this year so its ALDRIP 1ST OBON at the sano dojo and i gotta do some math to figure out when its gonna be so imma let yall know one day. also for these things you wanna wear a yukata if youre either real fucking short either gender or an absurd beanpole guy i can lend some or i can help you find fabric and ill help the tailors.

also i cant cook for shit YET (sorry aragaki shinjs its a process) so if you can please step forward

- manjiro "mikey" sano

invinciblemikey

(a video, in the kitchen of the dojo. nothing much here - those who have not yet seen manjiro since he's gone home will notice that long, black hair replaces the blonde strands, pulled up into a mess of a bun, and a newly done tattoo.

this is not about the shit he has done, he just wants to get busy, make some money, maybe.)

Dojo's open for training and classes again, for Kyokushin karate—classes in the afternoon, till my nap time, and at night, between nap times. Just schedule with me directly. Payment in food, pastry, sweets, or money, but preferably in pastries.

That's it.

[he doesn't have a whole monologue written out today, but he does have something he's curious on pointing out.]

It seems as if the changes in this world aren't just cosmetic. It's learned how to protect itself, thanks to those that believe in explosions to get their point across.

[cough]

Just in case one of you decides to try City Hall again.

[we're not going to talk about how he already tried it ok, just trust the anon on the network-]

[Okay, so when Goro Akechi asks nicely for a favor, Kotone isn't one to turn him down. People are probably more likely to listen if it's not-him saying something! Besides, it's kind of fun to pretend to be a real news anchor, sitting next to Minato at one of the desks in the club building, holding a piece of paper in both hands. In light of recent events, though, her usually-bright smile is a bit more subdued as she mouths a few words, skimming down the paper, and then immediately makes a face.

It's so obvious to anyone who knows either Minato or Kotone that there's no way what they're reading out loud are their own words. Their broadcast goes live not long after Ragna's post.]

Good evening Aldrip!

I'm certain that we all are aware of the current events. Especially since the perpetrator behind the latest explosion decided to grant us with a live broadcast and-- [She pauses, scrunching up her face, because what's written next is so passive-aggressive about "the person in question not having a plan, and how no one should be surprised that person didn't have a plan." She'll just leave that part out and skip ahead,]

Considering the nature of the Council, it'd be foolish to think this attack will be left unpunished. However, we aren't sure if they will come to us as a whole or just target the perpetrator. Honestly, both are plausible scenarios. Which is why I believe we need to gather all the information we have of The Council.

[ Why is this so long?? Minato leans over a bit, squinting at the mess of handwritten notes in front of him. ] A lot of people have theorized that they are the ones responsible for our presence here, or that they are godlike creatures. While I believe this is an important theory to keep in mind, I’m not sure that’s the case here.

The council was originally absent when The Chosen arrived here for the first time. They only became active back in October after we went through the Maze. [She makes another face, because the maze sucked.] For those who weren't here back then, here's a quick summary: One night in September the town transformed into a gigantic maze with different levels that we had to clear while facing our fears, insecurities and memories related to the crimes in our parchments. After a few days the maze disappeared and town returned back to 'normal.' That's when 'Jerry' appeared and began to act on behalf of The Council to rehabilitate the criminals.

…‘someone' suggested that we might have entered a whole different timeline after coming out of the maze. [ He takes a moment to shuffle through his papers because, what maze…? Minato glances over his shoulder at something off-screen with a puzzled expression before looking straight ahead again. ] There’s no concrete evidence on this, but we shouldn’t ignore it either. The odd behavior from the locals would suggest it. They’ve been seen freezing in the middle of action before suddenly changing their opinions and behavior, along with being… unable to offer any proper information about the world they live in.

It could be that the world is preparing for another world-altering change right now, just like back with the maze. [Maybe they should have led with that?]

We also believe that we are hardly the first group of The Chosen who have arrived. There have been mentions of previous "cycles", indicating that there were others before us. These cycles were mentioned in the graves that we came across during October's witch hunt — [ He glances at something out of view again with a curious tilt of the head. After blinking a couple times with a frown in that direction, he turns to his notes again. ] — along with… an underground grotto where we found pictures of the people from past. [ Minato frowns a bit because that’s… mildly concerning if true. Frankly, he doesn’t know whether anything in these notes is true at all. ]

The biggest indicator, however, that we are not the first ones here are the sudden images, video and audios clips we received after our expedition with the fairies back in July. [Her mouth opens in an "oh" as if she's only just realized something herself, then shrugs and continues reading,] Those clips showed people from the past discussing about their "crimes" very similarly to our own. They also mentioned dealing with similar trials and monsters like we have. So, it would make sense if we assume that everything that we have gone through has happened before, and that we are following some sort of a script...? [HUH?? Now it's her turn to stare off-screen mouthing 'what?']

Or at least, that was the case until the destruction of the City Hall. [ Finally, something he actually has firsthand knowledge about and doesn’t need to glance over his shoulder to make sure he’s reading things correctly. ]

[Apparently whatever she's looking at off-screen is prompting her to continue, because she makes a face but checks her papers again. And then makes yet another face, deciding to paraphrase what's written there.] The Council is really powerful and can alter people's memories and bodies, but maybe they're not the ones behind the maze...? 'Cause apparently we don't have any proof that they can change reality. So maybe they're just a product of maze instead of the ones behind it. [She scrunches up her face and checks the papers again, a little doubtfully,] Maybe like Jerry, they're being used as tools by someone with greater power...? [She's kind of regretting agreeing to do this... she should have made Akechi read his own hypotheses...]

We don’t know who or what that powerful being may be. It could be the ones that locals call Those Who Were Here, but they seem to be deities only to Aldrip. None of the other towns have shown any signs of religion as far as we know. They might be a red herring set out to mislead us. [ He speaks flatly with an impassive expression. Minato clearly doesn’t actually believe or agree with anything that’s coming out of his mouth right now. He maintains his focus though, eyes trained on the notes in front of him. ] Whatever it is, we believe we can all agree that their excuses and explanations about wanting to rehabilitate us is bullshit, along with our 'crimes.' [ Minato looks off camera again and gives definitely-not-Akechi-Goro a thumbs-up. ]

[Kotone puts down her papers and sticks out her tongue a little as if trying to figure out how to talk normally again after all that formal language.] Anyway, that's just a summary, so if anybody has any other information, go ahead and let us know! How was that, Goro?

[ ooc: Replies will mostly be from Akechi, but possible peanut gallery-ing from Kotone and Minato!

Also please feel free to tag each other too! Hop on in and let’s start cooking some theories \o/ ]

rebellions

[ It's an evening like any other since the beginning of the blackout ─ since the last rays of sunshine have disappeared behind the horizon already, there are few people left on the streets, whatever little light there is still around coming mostly from candles in the nearby windows and an occasional brazier a person or two may stop by to warm up on their way home.

Even so, it shouldn't be difficult for anyone familiar with Aldrip to recognize the area shown in the video feed despite the surrounding darkness ─ and that's doubly true for those who have been through their "sentencing". The building displayed is, without any doubt, the City Hall, the very same where the Council (supposedly) dwells and casts their judgement upon the Chosen. The person filming this, whoever they are, approaches the main entry to the building before stopping right before its doors. They reach out to it, but instead of placing their hand on the knob as some might have assumed, they press their palm against the surface of the door instead. It's at this point that the mysterious figure speaks up, and those who know him will surely have no trouble realizing who it is. ]

... Restriction 666 released, dimensional interference field deployed.

[ Multiple elaborate magic circles start appearing from beneath his hand, their blue light illuminating the area and making it easier to see for those who haven't recognized the place yet. Paying them no mind, the voice continues: ]

IDEA Engine, linked. BlazBlue... activate.

[ An ornate crest flashes in front of him, and then the screen is filled with blinding light. What follows is a loud sound of an explosion, but it doesn't come just from the recording ─ no, anyone in Aldrip will probably be able to hear the almost deafening, sharp noise. The whole thing only lasts seconds, probably, but it might feel like it takes longer than that for the light to finally fade ─ and once it does, the area is completely unrecognizable. Where the City Hall stood just moments ago, there is nothing but a sea of fire and rubble. Surely, there are screams, too, and people rushing in to see what was the cause of the explosion ─ but their voices are drowned out by the sound of falling rocks and crackling fire.

Finally, Ragna turns the charm to face him, appearing completely unfazed like he didn't just raze a building to the ground. ]

The sentencing's been called off. I'm done playing their games.

laserguy

[Look, it's not because of his sentencing that he's making a message like this; he's been meaning to apologize to everyone that he hurt last month. Stupid Jerry and the stupid council had kicked him to high gear, but he definitely doesn't feel forced talking like this. Just. A little anxious and shit, because who wouldn't be?

Maybe it would be better if he just personally reached out to those that were affected, but honestly, some memories around that time are foggy. Kind of happens when you have a splitting headache from your powers while dealing with anger caused by corruption.]

Hey, uh, in case you didn't know, I was the one that destroyed the club building. [Kotone didn't mention it in her broadcast, because she's that kind of person, but he'll own up to it.] Thanks for everyone that's helping out with that, by the way. I'm gonna be working on rebuilding too. Can't have TWAT club without the building, right?

[Ha ha......]

Just wanted to also apologize for everything. Especially if I hurt you, I... I don't remember some of it, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen and shit. So, uh.

[.....]

Just wanted to say that.

[SMOOTH AF. Just going to end the feed now.]

orphne

[Kotone is not a girl used to asking for help. If it's something she can't do on her own, she usually doesn't. But with recent events in town and outside of town, not to mention the passings of the one-year anniversaries of some difficult days from back home, it's been hard to muster her usual good cheer and can-do attitude.]

Hi, everyone! It's Kotone. You might know me from working at Lupin recently. :D

I know we're all really busy, but I wanted to ask if anybody had time to help me rebuild the club building. It's the one that looked like a flat-roofed warehouse on the edge of town? It got destroyed cause of the corruption.

Oh, I'm also still looking for people to help out on Astralin-san's farm, too! Especially with the crops and animals.

[A pause, and then she adds,]

I'd really like to start the cooking and sewing clubs again. :) And if other people had things they wanted to do like club activities, it would be good to have a space for it! I think it's really important to have some normal things to do with all the crazy stuff going on.

[There's not much she feels she can do with everything happening between Ketsora and Rumpitur, but she can try to do something to help the Chosen feel more closely tied together.]

invinciblemikey

you did your crime? i aint done mine. i came close, but i didnt do it.

im on the choppin block this time. anyone try to kill jerry yet

geass

A question for the Chosen: why have you not banded together already? Some arrivals go back to almost a year, and yet you're still here. You're not without skill. There are summoners, magic users, and bomb makers in this city. Directed efforts could surely overpower our captors if there was direction.

Possibly there are those who want to stay here. Those who are dead in the world that they come from. But what of the ones who want to go home? What do they say? Are they just content to live their lives here while they have unfinished business at home?

It's possible that some of the lack of action is complacency. But others... may be a lack of leadership. Instead of waiting around for someone to save you, have you considered that you might be able to take charge of your situation? What holds you back? The Council? Jerry? That is one man, and an entity that we haven't seen thus far.

For now, it's food for thought. But I'd be interested to know who would actually be interested in leaving this place, instead of playing house in a world that dictates their actions. For those who may want to stay... what would life be like without the "Council" watching your every move?

invinciblemikey

the sano dojo is currently closed for now. we will resume activities later down the line.

trespassers will be treated as such, so i strongly suggest you do not come unannounced - anyone who does not respect these guidelines will be shown no grace.

signed manjiro/mikey sano, president of the tokyo manji gang.

invinciblemikey

(he's lost enough people and has been through enough conflict to know how this aftermath feels. it doesn't necessarily affect him as much as anyone else, he doesn't particularly care for the fallen ones, but he cares for some of the people going through the motions of loss. that's what pushes him to say this, because otherwise, manjiro wouldn't genuinely care to appease a community he hardly feels a part of - it's not wholly his. he hasn't claimed it for himself. hardly feels like home when his mind is elsewhere.

but, you know. it might help the ones he actually does give a shit about.)

this is mikey sano. if u walk 10 minutes from the farmhouse, you'll see the dojo and house i grew up in, somehow this place has brought it. if u need a place to stay while this shit sets in, feel free to come over. there are two rooms that id allow someone to stay in, but otherwise, ive put some mattresses, blankets and pillows on the actual dojo.

ure also welcome to use the kitchen and the very japanese ingredients in it. just make sure u make enough for everyone. i live in the shed that is outside, you can just knock on it if you need me.

on another note. its important u know how to fight in case ur abilities are taken from you. i can teach, so just talk to me. its safer to at least know the basics.

i practice every afternoon, so you can just come.

querulus

to silco:

we should meet up sometime. name a time and place

warmest regards,
-QQ

to everyone else:

mind your business.

actually wait no. give me your best recs for date night spots. NOT asking for a friend lol.

-still QQ

scythedance

I do not know if this has happened to anyone else, but... It seems as if the crime on my parchment has changed. Granted, the first crime was indeed false, but this one... This is a crime I am guilty of. How interesting. Has anyone else's crime changed, or is this the first occurrence?

[A pause.]

Ah, by the way. I recently built a hot spring on my land. Feel free to use it at any time, but please be respectful. There are snacks, drinks, and towels that will be provided upon entry. If you want to bring your own alcohol, I am okay with that.

solitarysoul

[Levi has to steel himself before he manages to post this. Remind himself that it was okay, he wasn't going to be in charge of anyone and its fine to ask for help. And that dealing with this sooner rather than later would probably end up saving trouble rather than causing it. Still, the voice that comes over the network is timid and unsure sounding.]

I-I don't know how many people noticed...or if its old a-and people know about it already.

[Fuck, what if everyone who'd been her already knew about the bunker? He shouldn't have--no. No, if they did they could just tell him what is was. He takes a deep breath and starts again.]

We found a bunker out in the woods. Its surrounded by fences and guns and looks like it might be trouble. But we can't watch it all the time s-so I, uh...I wanted to ask if anyone else wanted to, um, help. Or knows anything about it. It was in the area with the weird animals.

[At least, he thinks they're all weird. Some might still be normal for here.]
