Hirotsu: "Ah, good--someone to speak with. I do miss going to shows. The last one was abysmal--the person playing Ophelia couldn't act her way out of a paper bag."
leroux: *LIGHTBULB* why dont we host a production here? *shiny eyes*
Hirotsu: "...Oh, thank God, someone finally recommends it! Yes, please, do! Which plays do you know?"

Izuku: "??? W-Wasn't he working for you?"
tomura: you'd think, but that's just not how it is. even after a few months, everyone's still talking about him, and ignoring us, ignoring _me_. he can talk big all he damn pleases, but in the end, he's just destroying what he hates, so how does that make us any different?

tomura: what?
Izuku: "I...don't accept what either of you have done, the Hero Killer or you...But...I can understand the Hero Killer's reasons, not yours..."

Charon: "??? How could you--"
kagu-tsuchi: your heat signature was different from usual.
Charon: "Hmph. Fine." *puts on a shirt* "It's still unbearable. Rain requires adjusting any techniques in combat."
-elsewhere-
*There's a child jumping around in the rain, giggling*
shop owner: hey kid, you shouldnt be out here alone, it's dangerous.
???: "???" *smiles, slightly creepy* "But it's fun! Whee!" *plops down, rolling in the puddle*
shop owner: where the heck are your parents?
???: -___-; "Shut up! I'm here because I want to be!" *kicks up water*
shop owner: woah!
???: >n< "I don't need any, any more!" *stamps their feet--and more rain pours down, flooding into the shop*
shop owner: h-hey! hey!!
???: "I get to do what I want! Because I can do THIS!" *splashes water at the window, shattering it*
shop owner: !!!!!
Sid: "Hey!"
???: "???" *turns* "..." ._.; "What the heck are you supposed to be?"

*The rain stops falling...*
nygus: so they were the source, then....
homura: *looking up an ID for the kid*
*Looks to be a runaway from the Slums, missing since the disaster there*
homura: you're from the slums, right?
???: "I don't have to tell you anything--you're not my mom!"
nygus: what's your name, sweetie?
???: "...Kai."
nygus: now, how are you able to use this ability of yours, kai? is it a quirk?
Kai: "Dunno...It started happening last week after I...ran."
homura: so you recently discovered your ability, then?
Kai: *frowns at Homura* -n- "Yeah."
nygus: where's your family, kai? in the slums still?
Kai: "...I don't know. After the fire, I couldn't find them...No one came for me anyway, so that's fine."
nygus:.....tell you what, you can stay with us for a while until we get this squared away, alright?
Kai: "Why would you do that for me, Miss Mummy?"
nygus: someone has to make sure you're safe, so that your power isnt used to cause harm to others.
Kai: -n- "I didn't harm anyone..."
*The shop is still flooded*
shop owner: does my insurance cover this?
Sid: "I'm going to guess yes, but I'll check with the Academy--they are taking responsibility for this kid."
shop owner: thank you, mr barrett.
Sid: *nods* "Now, let's dump this brat into a warm bath, get them cleaned up--"
Kai: >_< "MY NAME ISN'T 'BRAT'!"

shiori: woooow!
Kid: "It's so big and colorful! We can see red, orange, and--what else, Shiori?"
shiori: bloo?
Kid: "Yes! The rainbow contains the seven main colors, including indigo."
shiori: indigo?
Kid: "A kind of dark blue..." *Excalibur face* "There should be _eight_ rainbow colors..."
shiori: how about brown?
Kid: "Hmm...Well, that could give us an eighth color, but then it wouldn't be a rainbow but a rain-_brown_." *smiles*
shiori: *giggle*
Kid: ^w^ "Ha ha...The rainbow comes after even the worst rain, kind of a sign of hope."

and asakusa
Izuku: *struggling to get up* "What is that voice..."
Iida: *holding his head* "Ow..."
-a hand grabs iida's face where his eyes are-
light bringer: let me enlighten you, child.
-a bright blinding light is released from the hand-
Iida: "AAAAAAAAAAAAA--"
Izuku: "Iida!"
ochako: there! *points to where the light flashed*
Iida: *clutching his face* "It burns!"
Izuku: "!!! Iida!" *tries to approach Dabi*
ochako: *rolls* *kick* RELEASE! *kicks light bringer in the face* HYAH!
Iida: *on the floor, screaming, removing his hands* "Turn off the lights! Turn them off!"
ochako: iida! *glares at light bringer* oh you are TOAST bucko!
Dabi: "Jeez, such poor sports..." *ignites another flame, tossing it towards Ochako's feet and at Iida*
Izuku: "!!! No!" *swings a fist at the flame...*
momo: !! MIDORIYA LOOK OUT!
sachi: *aims with her claws* *grins*
Izuku: "?!!!" *fireball and claws coming at him...*
Izuku: ("Got to time this just right...") *swings his fist--the swiftness of the wind throwing the fireball off its path and towards Sachi...but breaking his arm*
sachi: !!! GYAAAH!!
yuuji: SACHI!!
sachi: *collapses in pain*
Izuku: "Aaahh!" *holding his broken arm, but standing*
Dabi: "...Okay, first off, that is that Broccoli Boy's fault, not mine, Yuuji."
yuuji: *holding sachi* kurogiri! get us out of here!
Dabi: "What?! But I'm not finished with my new toy--"
Kurogiri: "DABI! We leave, now!" *opens Warp Gate for Sachi and Yuuji*
yuuji: *picks her up and heads through the gate*
light bringer: *exits*
Dabi: *glares at Izuku*
Izuku: *glaring*
Dabi: *turns to walk away...*
Izuku: "I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU!"
-the garage door opens-
momo: !!!
Dabi: "??? Oh, no, compan--"
Izuku: "AAAAAH!" *SMASHES HIS FIST into Dabi's head, knocking him into the Warp Gate*
Kurogori: o_o *warps away*
worker:....what the-
ochako: iida! are you ok?!
Iida: "Turn off the lights! I can't see with these bright lights on!"
ochako: !!!
momo: *covers her mouth* CALL THE HOSPITAL!
-and so-
Izuku: *his arms are broken...again*
ochako: how are they?
Doctor: "...He is blind. In both eyes."
ochako: *tearing up*
Doctor: "Damage to the cornea is severe. Even with a Recovery Quirk, the strain on his body could kill him..."
momo:......
Doctor: "...I'm sorry. I do not see how his vision will repair."
eijiro: isnt there anything we can do?
Doctor: "We will be keeping your friend for monitoring to see whether his condition changes."
eijiro:.....
momo: until he recovers, i'll take over as class rep in his absence.
Doctor: "Tenya is resting right now. I don't know when he will be ready for visits."
momo: understood.
-elsewhere-
Spirit: *reviewing the files* "And now they are targeting student doing errands..."
marie: this is just awful...
Stein: "Witches at least can be sensed. These Quirk beings...they are a challenge."
marie: even then, witch attacks are rare these days....dont they usually keep to themselves?
Stein: "Yes, which makes these persons worse. How do we respond to such power persons? Even with our own alliances with superheroes, we can't stop all villains."
-elsewhere-
Relan: *writing a letter, having just fed Buttons*

Relan: "...Why did she send this?"
mikami: isnt it normal for parents to send things to their children when they are away?

Benimaru: "...Don't insult them. Or I will have you running laps for hours."
Tsukiyo: ^^; "I would do whatever you ask, Sir~"
fang-hua: =___=; (thinking: you have to be kidding me...)
Benimaru: -_-; "You have a bug in your hair."
Tsukiyo: o______o *loud shriek*
fang-hua: *trying not to chuckle* commander, that was just mean.
Benimaru: "And yet wholly necessary."
Tsukiyo: *putting her hands through her hair* "Is it out?! Is it gone?!!"
kabuki: hmm? is something the matter here?
Benimaru: "Yes. Sorry. Tsukiyo was simply being disruptive--"
Tsukiyo: Q_Q "You're so mean..."

yuuji: just ignore him...
sachi: ...hmph.... 7n7
Kurogiri: "Dabi, I suggest you stop harassing our colleagues and see how the Priest is..."
Dabi: "Fine..."

gabriella: *she nods*
-and so, at the first-
Burns: "We are fine. Thank you." *turns away*

-SHORYUKEN!-
Tsukiyo: X_____X *bounces into a wall and off it, like a bunny, landing on the floor* "Owie..."
fang-hua: o-o;
Benimaru: "...Oh. Ohime. Hello. What'd you want?"
Hibana: "These reports of villains." *looks to Fang-Hua* "How are things here?"
fang-hua: fairly normal for the most part.
Benimaru: "We are still addressing cases of artificial humans, which is deeply concerning." *narrows eyes* "Do you know about this?"
Hibana: *meets look* "None. But if villains got there hands on it, that would be a concern for all of us."
Benimaru: "...Hmph."
-with the 8th and squad 0-
Iris: "Oh! Sister!" *hug*
Hibana: *smile, hug*

Hibana: o____o
Arthur: *struggling to carry five bags into the kitchen*
gabriella: (thinking: commander oubi....is he even human?!)
Hibana: "We, um...Miwa, is everything okay here? After the villains' attack against DWMA students, we wanted to check on the other Brigades."
miwa: ...for the most part yeah.
misora: *listening*
Hibana: " 'The most part'? Has someone been attacking Brigade members?"
Arthur: *overhearing, shuddering*
miwa: *she looks at oubi with concern*
Akitaru: "We've had difficulties here. Even after recovering Arthur, attacks have persisted. Now we see...in-fighting, among ourselves, even between the 1st and the 3rd..."
Hibana: *looks at Gabriella*
gabriella: thats unfortunate, is there anything we can do to help?
nozomi:...........
Akitaru: "...Time."
gabriella: hmm?
shinra: *working on something*
Akitaru: "The one thing any team needs to get through, on their way to being stronger, forgiving each other...forgiving ourselves."
Hibana: *looks at Iris* "..."
Arthur: *looking at Shinra*
shinra: *he's working on a chart it looks like?*
Arthur: "Looks complicated, between all the different Brigades, then adding the DWMA, the Heroes..."
-there are 3 categories; nope, okay?, and cool-
-in nope; burns and dia. in okay? foien, ruby, and kishiri. in cool; takeru, karim, pearl, mikami, ryuuko, relan (who has a heart next to him), all of squad 0, hibana, and gariella.-
shinra:.....if im gonna add them im going to need a bigger piece of paper to work with. <:(
Arthur: "..." *takes pen, moves Kishiri to "Nope"*
shinra: *chuckles*
gabriella: *looks* you got burns' eyepatch on the wrong side.
Hibana: "And he needs devil horns..."
tamaki: *snickers at the dog ears on dia*
Iris: "Better not let the 1st see this chart..."
shinra: karim and pearl are good though, foien and ruby i dont know that much
Iris: "It's too bad we can't do something to get to know them better...like a shared barbecue party."
Hibana: -_-;
maki: i notice there isnt too many people from the 4th, 6th, and 7th brigades on here....
Arthur: "Maybe...what if...THEY DON'T REALLY EXIST?!!"
tamaki: *chop* -_-;
Arthur: T_T "Ow..."
Hibana: "Hmm..." *tracing a finger along the Branches* "Allies...opponents...and undecideds. I wonder..."
miwa: hmm?
Hibana: "Perhaps we need to make allies of those in the unknown category. Build up alliances."
maki: sounds like a good idea.
Hibana: *small smirk* "Of course, I have my ways of convincing them~"
shinra: what do you think commander?
Akitaru: *nods* "We can try approaching the 7th..."
maki: that sounds as good an idea as any.
tamaki: we dont know where the 4th and 6th's bases are, but we know the 7th is in asakusa town.
Arthur: "Quite a travel..."
shinra: *checking a map* on the outside, death city looks so small....but inside it's massive...
miwa: i'll send misora, padma, and serina along with you for negotiations and moral support.
Akitaru: "Good plan."
miwa: while you guys go, me, sayu, and nayumi will keep watch on the homefront for ya. *wink and a grin with a thumbs up*
Akitaru: *small chuckle* "Thanks."
Hibana: "??? Very well."
shinra: ??
misora: im looking forward to going with you, that way i get to see BENI-CHAN~!<3<3<3 >w<
Arthur: "...'Beni'?"
padma: *chop* she means commander shinmon.
misora: owie! >.<
shinra: you mean that rude guy from the confrence with the weird eyes?.....*ahem* no offence, hibana.
Hibana: *serene smile but temper twitch* "Yes, because I am a *rude woman with weird eyes*, right...?"
shinra: *sweating*
gabriella: easy now, princess. calm breaths.
Iris: *pulling Hibana back* "Please, don't!"
Hibana: *small growl as she lets them pull her back*
shinra: *cowering behind tamaki*
tamaki: -_- you weenie.
Iris: *pout at Shinra for hiding behind Tamaki*
Hibana: "Very well. Miwa, Gorilla--"
Akitaru: -_-;
Hibana: "I leave it to you."
shinra: *jumps back from tamaki* r-right.
tamaki:....*realizing shinra was going to sacrifice her to hibana's fury* D8<

shinra: technically they're futons.
Akitaru: "Close enough." *starts unpacking in his room...pulling out weight set after weight set...*
tamaki: *reading pamphlets* one of the most noticable features of the asakusa sol shrine is the sister's uniforms, which combine elements of a nun and a miko to create a perfect blend of east and west.
Takehisa: "Fascinating."
shinra: neat.
Arthur: *thinking of something* "Hmm...East and west..."
townsperson: ah! it's her! its her!
townsman: sister yanase is giving out protective charms today!
Takehisa: "???"
tamaki: *goes to check* woah..
-a young lady is passing out talismans to people, her uniform matches the description in the pamphlet-
Arthur: *joins Tamaki outside* "Huh. That's the outfit alright."
shinra: im guessing that's sister yanase?
Arthur: "Anyone else with her?"
old man: sister Kirei Yanase, one of the head sisters of the asakusa shrine. she specializes in making protective charms for the locals. she certainly has a calming aura about her, doesnt she?
Arthur: " 'Protective charms'?"
old man: to protect us from the flames. its nice to have her around. one could say she's the yin to commander shinmon's yang. or at least i think so.
Arthur: " 'Protective charm'..." *looks askance at Tamaki*
tamaki: *she's already looking*
Arthur: "Maybe it'll bring some good luck to you..." *sees the designs*
old man 2: if you take the habit off her, she bears a strong resemblance to the commander! but they arent related, or at least i dont think they are?

Hibana: >\\\\\\< "You all are so mean!"
Rino: "You!" *points to the Man* "Get that stuff out of the garbage and march your butt back to the office!"
man: soooo... should i put this all back then?
Iris: "I'll return Shinra's items to his desk..."
man: ok ok! sheesh....im doin it!
nayumi: i took everything out of the trash...its still clean!
Rino: *nods confidently* "Or perhaps you should have Hibana polish Commander Obi's office, first! As a way to make it up to him..."
Hibana: *glaring at Rino* "Don't. Push it."
nozomi:.......*looking over files*
miwa: a lot of that is important business stuff, throwing that out could get you in a lot of trouble, or even fired.
Hibana: "How was I supposed to know that a Commander needs this stuff?!"
Iris: "...Really? 'Commander Hibana'?"

Akitaru: *nods, as he pushes open the curtain to Benimaru's office and enters--*
Benimaru: "Go. Away."
shinra: *cold chill*
Akitaru: "Um..." *clears his throat* "Commander. We are here--"
Benimaru: "You come uninvited." *nods to Fang-Hua* "Show them out. Now."
fang-hua: commander...
kabuki: perhaps we should hear them out before judging them?
Akitaru: "Were we to have contacted the Fire Council first? No, of course not. We knew you, the 7th's Commander, Shinmon Benimaru, doesn’t like boring procedures."
Tsukiyo: "So, they skipped the middle-man for your benefit, Commander~" :3
Benimaru: "..."
Benimaru: "Hikage, please stop tugging on my sleeve like that."
hikage: but im so boooored!
Benimaru: "...The adults have to speak." *points at Shinra* "You. Go play with Hikage and Hinata."
shinra: ok then.
hikage: XP *runs off*
shinra: h-hey come on!
fang-hua: *sweatdrop*
Takehisa: "We came here to discuss who is--"
Benimaru: "Transforming humans into Flame Beings. Yes, I know."
maki: yeah, we were hoping you'd help form an alliance with us to find the white hoods and 'preacher'.
Benimaru: "...We in the 7th keep to ourselves."
Tsukiyo: "Well, not that much to ourselves--"
Benimaru: *throws a mochi at Tsukiyo's head*
Tsukiyo: *pouts*
fang-hua: not now tsukiyo -_-;
Benimaru: "We make no alliances with other Brigades. That is my honest opinion."
maki: oh come on, the least you could do is give us a chance!
-at the shrine-
hinata+hikage: *hiding behind the donation box, giggling*
Arthur: *doing a small prayer*
shinra: come on you two, where are you? honestly..
tamaki: *also praying*
Arthur: "..." *risks opening an eye to look at Tamaki* ("...She's so...")
shinra: *looking around*
???: oh, hello.
shinra: *turns to see a woman in an unusual uniform*
kirei: you're from the 8th, right?
shinra: um yes ma'am...i was looking for two gi-
hinata+hikage: kirei-nee-chan! *they hug her*
kirei: hinata, hikage, good to see you. *she smiles*
Arthur: *continues to pray...* ("May I...May I find...May I please be with...")
tamaki: oh! you were passing out charms the other day! i got a few of them, could you give me some extra blessings?
kirei: ah...well, i could give you this. *gives her a charm* hopefully it brings you luck.
tamaki: thank you so much ma'am!
Arthur: *small smile*
shinra: ......oh, hey arthur.
Arthur: "Hey."
-BOOOOM-
shinra: ?!
tamaki: what was that?!
kirei: !! *holding the twins close*
Arthur: "An explosion?!"
kirei: wait here, the commander will handle this...
-at the 7th-
maki: what the hell was that?!
-screams can be heard-
Benimaru: "Fang-Hua, what is going on?"
fang-hua: i dont know-
solider: a flame human has appeared sir!
Benimaru: "..." (steps outside, sees the smoke coming) "Who is the victim?"
soldier: that noisy old coot, kantaro.
Soldier #2: "Get water, quickly!"
Benimaru: "..." *pushes Akitaru aside to reach the exit. Outside, he pulls down his right sleeve* "Soldier, have you evacuated everyone?"
soldier 3: all civilians have been evacuated, sir!
Soldier #2: "And we marked the location with matois!"
Benimaru: "..." *pulls down right sleeve, raises his matois into the air* "Let's start this party!" *he reels back, throws his matois into the air...and as it descends, it ignites, crashing into a building and destroying it*
Akitaru: "?!!!"
*The building's crash sends a shockwave felt all the way to the Shrine, where Shinra, Tamaki, and others are*
maki: woah!
tamaki: *keeping steady* woah!
shinra: !!! you guys alright?
kirei: we're fine, it was just the commander.
shinra: ??
Arthur: "The Commander? What?"
Soldier #2: "Heck yeah, Benimaru! Make it loud!"
*Benimaru spots a soldier emerge from the wrecked building*
Soldier #4: "Benimaru! Wrong building, sir! You wanted that one, over there!"
maki: what the heck?!
padma: can he even afford this kind of damage?
Benimaru: "...Yeah, yeah, I'm going." *he pulls out another matois, takes a step forward--and leaps high into the air, spotting Kantarou's actual location*
Akitaru: -_-; "And they say we cause property damage..."
maki: just what the heck even is that? that's really insane how he can do that!
kabuki: *looks at konro* do you want to tell them or should i?
Konro: *nods to Kabuki* "You explain..." *removes his coat, revealing his skin already ashing...*
kabuki: commander benimaru is rare case, being able to use the abilitys of 3rd generation ignition and 2nd generation control, being able to freely create flames and control them.
maki: you say that like 3rd gens cant control their own fire *sweatdrop*
Akitaru: "Three different ranges of ability...No wonder he's called the most powerful member of the Fire Brigade Alliance..."
maki: still sounds kinda OP...
Tsukiyo: "?!!! Watch what you say about Beni-hottie!"
tamaki: that blast was pretty intense, will we be safe?
Benimaru: *spots Kantarou* "There you are, Old Man..."
Arthur: "..." *takes her hand* "Let's get in the doorway: it's more fortified there. Shinra, grab the children!"
kirei: *she nods* there's protective charms around the shrine to ward off the after effects of benimaru's messes.
Benimaru: "SOLDIERS! THROW YOUR MATOIS UP TO ME!"
soldiers: seiya! seiya!
Benimaru: *he holds his matois and, as he descends, throws his down at Kantarou, which causes the other matois to follow to their target*
*The matois destroy more buildings around Kantarou, not hitting the target himself*
???: *watching* ahhh...
Kantarou: *ROAR!*
fang-hua: need any assistance, commander?
Benimaru: *lands next to Fang-Hua* "Evacuate more, and--"
Kantarou: *ROAR!* *rushes at Benimaru*
Benimaru: "?!!!"
fang-hua: commander! *throws firecracker* ~dance of the dragon carp~
-the firecracker lands at kantarou's feet-
kirei: *praying for kantarou* ashes to ashes....
Kantarou: *confused grunts, shriek*
Benimaru: "..." *marches up to Kantarou* "Shh...Shh...It's okay. Old man, the city is destroyed...You may release all your anger!”
Kantarou: *calmer...then a shriek and lunges at Benimaru*
kirei:....*ringing the bell*
fang-hua: commander!!
Benimaru: "Huh...Noisy as ever..." *slams his open hand through Kantarou's chest* "You've done a good job, Kantarou..."
-the bell continues to ring-
Kantarou: "..." *calmer* "...M-Maaaaaaster?" *lays a hand on Benimaru's left shoulder, leaving a scorch mark* "Thank...you..."
*Kantarou's body dissolves, burning ash fluttering through the air*
-the bell continues to ring-
Benimaru: *sadly watches the body evaporate*
Akitaru: *watching Benimaru*
maki:......
shinra: is it...over?
Arthur: "..." *still holding Tamaki's hand*
Konro: "It is done..." *gasps, as he clutches his chest*
kirei:...yes. excuse me. *she exits*
kabuki: konro?
Tsukiyo: "!!!"
maki: ?!
Tsukiyo: "Get him back to the medical ward, now!" *picks him up, leaps to the office*
Benimaru: "..." *enters Kantarou's abandoned restaurant, where he sees a tray of daifuku*
kantarou's son: d....dad....
Benimaru: "???" *spots the son* "..." *approaches*
kantarou's son: *sniff sniff*
Benimaru: "..." *notices the scorch mark on his cloak, left by Kantarou* "..." *leans down to the son, and hugs him*
kantarou's son: *crying*
Benimaru: "..." *silently holds him, letting the son cry*
kirei: *entering* ......it's ok, toshio. your father is still with you... *she hugs him*
Benimaru: *watches, nods*
Akitaru: *looking around* "All this destruction..."
shinra: *running to them* did...did commander shinmon do all this?
fang-hua: yeah...
maki: long story.
Akitaru: "Shinra! Are you all okay?"
shinra: yeah, tamaki, arthur and the kids are back at the shrine. sister kirei went off somewhere, but-
Old Woman: "Oh, my. I see our Prince of Destruction is at it again!" *chuckles*
shinra: prince?
Old Woman: "Benimaru-chan. He certainly makes quite a racket, huh?"
Akitaru: "You call...this destruction...just noise?" *looks to Shinra*
shinra:.. yeah, we could feel it all the way at the shrine...
Old Woman: "..." *sadly smiles at one destroyed building* "That one...That one was my house."
shinra: im so sorry ma'am! we can help rebuild it-
Old Woman: "Of course it can be rebuilt. We here in Asakusa would gladly give up our homes, if we may give solace to those tormented souls, like poor Kantarou..."
shinra: ......
Old Woman: "The Sun God destroys with Their flame. There is one thing that unites all humans: we die. And since we're going to die anyway, what's wrong with losing a house now and then? If it can bring peace to Kantarou, to let him know there is nothing left here to destroy, that he has no need to fear harming anyone, so be it. And Shinmon Benimaru..."
*Old Woman points to Benimaru, comforting the son*
Old Woman: "He may destroy. But he is also very gentle."
shinra:.....
Akitaru: "The 7th is one of the most powerful Brigades. Their ways differ from our own, but in the end, we all have the same goal..."
shinra: and kirei?
Old Woman: *nods*
Akitaru: *looks to Fang-Hua for an explanation as to Kirei*
fang-hua: she's one of the sisters of the asakusa shrine. she provides blessings and makes peace with the lost souls. i guess she and the commander are balanced, in a way.
Old Woman: "One destroys, one rebuilds."
shinra:.....*looks at them* (thinking; looking at them together, they almost seem like twins...)
Benimaru: "...Kirei...Bring out the fireworks."
kirei: *she nods and exits with toshio* come along, you and your mother can stay at the shrine for a while...
*Soldiers set down their matois and begin to generate flames that sail into the sky--and explode into fireworks*
Takehisa: "Hmph. It's like Matsuri...What a way to give a funeral to Kantarou..."
fang-hua: *setting off her own fireworks, creating very impressive displays, almost like pictures*
shinra: woah! that looked just like a dragon!
fang-hua: well, that would be my second gen ability making it move.
Tsukiyo: *sends up a firework, in the shape of a bunny*
Arthur: "...Can you make one like a cat?"
tamaki: *flustered*
???: *watching from the shadows*....that destructive power.....its so cool...~<3
Tsukiyo: "..." *smirks, as she transforms her bunny firework into a cat one* "Here you go!"
???: "Easy, there...Patience."
tamaki: wow.
Tsukiyo: "I see your boyfriend likes cats, too~"
padma: what about the damages?
tamaki: oh shush. -_-#
Tsukiyo: *giggling, before patting Tamaki's bottom*
tamaki: HEY! *shinra had to hold her back from ripping her head off*
Akitaru: "..." *takes off his coat* "8th Brigade! Assist the 7th with all repairs!"
Takehisa: *picks up a nail gun to start construction*
-someone appears-
misora: *yaaaaawns*
padma: well it took you long enough!
misora: sooorry~ i had to get my beauty sleep for beni-chan~ *winks*
Tsukiyo: "Come on, Arthur! You can help me with welding!"
Arthur: *pulled away* o\\\\\o
Benimaru: *approaches Shinra* "What're you all doing? This is 7th Brigade work. Butt out."
shinra: oh come on, at least give us a chance to prove ourselves!
Benimaru: "You can prove yourself by leaving us al--"
misora: KYAAAAA~! BENI-CHAAAAN~<3 *tries to glomp him*
Benimaru: *side-steps, dodging Misora, who crashes into...*
*grope grope*
tamaki: GET OFF! DX<
Akitaru: "...Tamaki, please stop bonding with your colleagues and get to work."
tamaki: >n<
serina: *setting up a medical station*
Arthur: *too busy focusing on welding to notice Tamaki*
Konro: *grunting* "I'm fine. This is really unnecessary..."
serina: still, some people may have gotten injured.
Benimaru: "..." *glances at Shinra* "Fine. Get to work rebuilding these houses. And don't screw it up." *marches to medical facility to tend to Konro*
shinra: you got it. *takes a log and flies up*
Benimaru: "..." ("...Impressive...") "Konro, lie back. I will tend to your injuries myself. Serina, please tend to the other patients."
serina: alright.
Konro: *calms down as Benimaru tends to him*
Akitaru: *doing heavy lifting to move debris*
maki: *lifting a log* hyah!
Soldier #2: "Wow! Amazing work, Soldier !"
maki: thanks!
Soldier #3: "Hey! Hot Foot! More wood up here!"
shinra: got it!
Soldier #4: *gawking at Tamaki*
tamaki:...what?
Soldier #4: "Do all the girls at the 8th dress like you do? 'Cause if so, I'd love to transfer--"
-PUNCH-
fang-hua: no. -_-#
Soldier #4: x___x
Tsukiyo: *holding the beams for Arthur to weld, as she leans down for a view down her chest* "Here you go, Artie~"
soldier 5: what the fuck oshima, she's just a kid!
Arthur: *too focused on welding to notice* "Thanks. That's a big help."
Tsukiyo: *pouts* "...Jerk."
tamaki:....*twitch twitch* i dont like her.
Oshima: x________x
Akitaru: *passing by Tamaki* "Don't worry. See? Arthur isn't even looking at her."
tamaki: and im not a kid! i'm quite mature for my age, plus i drink milk! *pouts*
fang-hua: (thinking: just like a cat...)
Oshima: *sits up* "Yeah! And that milk has helped you look really mature for your age!"
Akitaru: "..." *body-slams Oshima* "No."
tamaki: do you want to try dying once?
shinra: *sweatdrop* (thinking: maybe we should have brought nozomi to keep tamaki in check...)
Oshima: x______x "Contact Benimaru-chan. I need a death prayer for my soul..."
serina: there you go sir.
Akitaru: "Tamaki, help lift those logs to bring to the builders. Shinra, I could use a hand with these tiles."
old man: thank you miss....
tamaki: alright. *cat tails them up*
shinra: right!
Arthur: *stops welding when he hears Tamaki flame on...watches her...*
Tsukiyo: *pouts* ("Why isn't he looking at me?")
hinata: tsukiyo-nee-chan's a skank!
hikage: a total skank
Tsukiyo: >-< "YOU LITTLE SHITS! I'LL KILL YOU!"
Benimaru: *tending to Konro*
Konro: *smiles at Benimaru* "Those people in the 8th...They aren't half-bad."
Benimaru: "They aren't half-good either."
fang-hua: how's konro?
Benimaru: "...We're running out of medicine, Fang-Hua. When does the next shipment of anti-Haibyou medicine arrive?"
fang-hua: it should be here by tomorrow afternoon...
Benimaru: *nods* "Okay...You're going to have to do with just this dosage tonight, Konro..."
Konro: *nods* "Thank you, Master."
Benimaru: "...Don't call me that."
serina: i can take the next patient now.
Tsukiyo: *chasing after the Twins* *screeching bunny noise*
hinata + hikage: WAAAH!
Patient #1: "Heal me, Mistress!"
Patient #2: "I need your loving touch!"
serina: ....
Akitaru: "??? Shinra, could you stop Bunny Girl from killing those kids..."
Konro: "...Should I smack them, or would you like to, Serina?"
serina: ... -_-# are you honestly injured? if not, then please leave. im not here to be eye candy, im here to tend to those in need of medical care.
Patient #2: "...Seeing you, though, makes me feel all better..."
serina: *keeping calm, but visibly annoyed*
Konro: *DEATH GLARE*
Patient #1: "!!!" *pulls Patient #2 away*
padma: *death glares at the pervs with whip in hand* is there a problem here, gentlemen?
Tsukiyo: *swinging at the Twins, trying to catch them*
Patient #2: "...Okay, your whip is hot, ma'am--"
shinra: come on tsukiyo, leave them be.
padma: *flame whip at their feet* please leave.
Tsukiyo: "BUT THOSE BRATS CALLED ME A SKANK?! DO I LOOK LIKE A SKANK?!!"
Patient #1: *leaps into Patient #2's arms, as they flee*
shinra: no you dont look like a knife.
Tsukiyo: "...'Skank'! Not 'shank,' you twit!"
shinra:.... (thinking: i dont want to be that guy, but the way you behave isnt helping you...at all)
Tsukiyo: *intense glare* "I notice you aren't responding to that..." *menacing step towards the twins...*
shinra: hey, do those guys need their shirts off for this?
Tsukiyo: "!!!" *smiles and shiny happiness* "Really? Oh, gentlemen! Need someone to help you with your shirts? I can bring you some cool refreshing drinks!" *saunters over*
shinra: *grabs the twins and goes inside* phew...
hinata: unhand us you little shit!
Akitaru: *chuckles, overhearing this*
shinra: O-O (thinking: WHERE DID THEY PICK UP THIS KIND OF LANGUAGE?!)
Arthur: *finishes welding...then looks around* "Need help, Tamaki?"
tamaki: please help....im stuck in the donation box...
maki: HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?!
Arthur: "?!!! I'll get you out! Um...Maybe if I tap the back of the box, you'll pop out?"
tamaki: i think its weld shut or something??
Arthur: "Then I will unweld you! MINI-EXCALIBUR, GO!" *charges up Mini-Excalibur*
maki: *rips off the top of the box*
tamaki: *holding a large coin, looking like a lucky cat* q-q
maki:....*cracks up*
tamaki: WHAT'S SO FUNNY?!
maki: *snaps a pic*
tamaki: HEY!
Arthur: "..." -\\\\\- "So adorable..."
Arthur: "Can you text that pic to me?"
-inside-
Benimaru: "..."
Konro: "...Are you going to work with them? They seem trustworthy."
Benimaru: "We in the 7th cannot look weak. We need no assistance."
hikage: konro! commander, this shitty brat's pestering us.
shinra: Q-Q why are you two so mean?
Konro: "What have you been doing, Hikage, Hinata? Playing games?"
hikage: yeah, then tsuki-nee-chan got mad and this loser dragged us off.
hinata: punch him in the junk!
shinra: *jawdrop*
-shinra now sits in the corner of woe-
shinra: Q-Q if sho saw me like this, he'd probably laugh at me...
Konro: *chuckle* "Children, why don't you have Mr. Fire Top over here show you his dance..."
shinra: dance?
fang-hua: need me to look after them?
Konro: "Mr. Shinra here is a great dancer! Have him dance for you, kids...Fang-Hua would like to see him dance too, right?"
fang-hua: i suppose. how about you show us tomorrow? for now, lets go to the shrine, i hear kirei bought some konpeito, and maybe if you ask nicely, she'll give you some.
hinata: yay!
hikage: konpeito! konpeito! *the two leave with fang-hua*
shinra:...she's a natural with kids, it seems.
Benimaru: "Better than you, it seems."
Konro: -_-; "Master..."
shinra: *frowns*
Benimaru: "Lie down, Konro, you need to recover."
*Konro's body has charred marks around his skin, which Shinra can see*
shinra:.....(thinking: his skin...)
Konro: "..." *looks away as he lies down*
shinra: ah, s-sorry, i shouldnt stare...i'll just go now...
Benimaru: "..."
Konro: "..." *closes his eyes, tries to sleep*
-outside-
Takehisa: *finishes nailing* "There. The wall is done."
maki: nice job.
Takehisa: *small smile* "Good work clearing the debris...and getting that pic of Tamaki."
maki: ^^
tamaki: you suck.
Arthur: "Just because you got a cute pic?"
kabuki: regardless, you all did a fine job...but its getting dark out, perhaps you should call it a night for now...thankfully, the ryoukan you're staying at didnt suffer any damage...
Akitaru: *nods* "Thank you for letting us join your project."
kabuki: we're happy to get the extra help. even though the commander might not seem it, im sure he appreciates it.
-later-
shinra:....*talking with iris and relan via vidchat*
shinra: it was a lot of work, but we did pretty good i think...
Iris: *small clap* "Good work!"
Relan: *nods* "That's really helpful of you all."
shinra: yeah, tamaki got stuck inside a box, based on what maki posted *chuckles* but all in all, today was a pretty alright day...i really wish you two were here...
Relan: "...I--We, miss you, too, Shinra."
Iris: *nods* "It's not the same here without you...especially with Sister's...habits."
shinra: *nods* how are you guys holding up?
Iris: "Sister is...like herself. But Miwa and Gabriella are keeping her in line."
Relan: "...It's lonely here. We've all been busy with training."
shinra: *he nods* how's buttons doing?
Relan: "Really well! I taught him a new trick..." *holds Buttons up to the camera*
Iris: "Aaaaah, so cute!"
shinra: that's really cool, good job rel!
Relan: "Heh heh...Thanks. You having fun over there?"
