Your Local Defense Team Cat

Crew GUYS has a cat. The cat, Mirai, is rather odd.

AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/28720758

If asked, Ryu would say he didn’t feel any particular way about cats. For the most part, that was true, he didn’t really dislike them, nor did he like them. There was, though, one exception to that. Around Crew GUYS’ base, there was this one stray cat that roamed around, he was called Mirai, though no one knows who gave him that name.

Mirai was rather big, for a stray cat, and his fur was fluffy - Ryu was pretty sure someone had to be brushing his fur. He loved attention and was very talkative, often meowing during conversations, as though giving his own input. If you were sitting down when he was around, there was a chance he leap into your lap and curl up there. Mirai was oddly friendly and everyone began to consider him a part of Crew GUYS. Moral support, or something.

The point is, though Ryu wasn’t necessarily fond of cats, Mirai was something of an exception. Often times, he felt less like a cat and more like a person... A person who you can’t understand and was smaller. And more furry, and had claws.

Speaking of, here comes Mirai now, catching a ride into the room in Marina’s arms. Usually he caught a ride with Konomi, but it seems that his puppy dog eyes - a hilarious thought given he was a cat - convinced Marina to bring him in. As Marina sits down, Mirai launches out of her arms and lands on the floor. 

Walking over towards Ryu, Mirai looks up at him and meows, seemingly waiting for Ryu to give his approval. With a sigh, Ryu leaned over and picked Mirai up, setting him in his lap. Mirai purred, curling up to lay down.

While most cats would simply jump onto someone’s lap to lay down, MIrai always seemed to wait for approval. He stand or sit there, waiting for you to tell him it’s okay, as though he was worried about offending you or something. In a lot of ways, Mirai was just like your average cat. In a lot of ways he wasn’t and that was just a part of the conundrum that was Mirai the cat.

Absentmindedly, Ryu began to pet Mirai, as the cat continued purring. Off to the side, Marina laughs. “Geez, Ryu, Mirai really likes you, huh?”

Ryu grumbled to himself at her teasing tone. “He’s a cat, not much I can do about that. If he wants to do something, he’ll do it.”

“A very polite cat,” Marina notes, “Because you have to let him on your lap before he’ll come up.”

“Still a cat.” Mirai stands and rubs himself against Ryu’s arm at that, “And it’s not like you or I can tell him what to do.”

After a while, Mirai hops off of Ryu’s lap, stretching. That was not the only thing that happened at that moment. Just seconds later, Lim appeared, causing Mirai to be startled, jumping back a bit. Then, Mirai moves toward Lim, seemingly attempting to cuddle with Lim. In response to the sudden touch of the cat against him, Lim let out a small shock, knocking Mirai away.

A gasp could be heard from Konomi as she rushed towards the two of them, most likely to check on Mirai. Mirai was, though, only slightly worse for wear, for some reason or another. His fur was a little singed and he now smelled a bit smokey, but other than that, he stood up and began to clean himself as though nothing ever happened.

George peers over from his desk, “So either Lim’s started to tone done the electrocution,” He said, “Or the theory that Mirai is actually some kind of alien cat is more accurate than we thought.”

Konomi glared at him with a huff, “Clearly, Lim just didn’t shock him as much as he did you.” She insisted, picking up Mirai, who began to loudly purr, as he often did. “That and Mirai pulled away rather quickly.”

George didn’t look convinced.

“What do you mean by ‘the theory that Mirai is actually some kind of alien cat’?” Marina asked.

“It’s a theory I’ve heard,” George defended, “Besides, it would explain why he’s such a weird cat.”

Rolling his eyes, Ryu simply says, “Next you’ll say he’s actually Ultraman Mebius.”

Mirai meowed happily.

Marina, narrating Mirai: How to ask someone out.

George: Step one: Approach.

Marina: Step two: Wait, slow down.

George: Step three: Um, you passed them.

Marina: Step four: That's a vending machine.

George: Step five: Okay, mini donuts are good too.

Ryu: I'm pretty sure he was going for the mini donuts the whole time.

AUSTIN CASTS #23- SHADOW AT THE WATERS EDGE

MOVIE CAST

-Karen Fukuhara as Miwako Shimizu

-Kimiko Glenn as Yumi Shimizu

-Masi Oka as Rentaro Aihara

-Lori Tan Chinn as Takae Nagai

-Octavia Spencer as Savannah Woodham and Tom Holland as Logan

-Kennedy McMann as Nancy Drew

What do I change/add?

There is an age gap between Miwako and Rentaro which cause conflict between the family.

Savannah and Logan make in person appearances. Logan mainly, but you do see Savannah in a phone scene. 

Yumi is a lesbian.(!!!!)

Takae is still knowing, but is a bit more humorous. 

Rentaro is bullied.

The “robot” of Kasumi makes a grudge girl noise.

The Ryokan Hiei is full when Nancy first arrives, but is vacant by the time she leaves.

Same culprit and same motivation. 

BROADWAY MUSICAL CAST:

OKAY. SO HERE IS WHAT I WILL DO. There is, like, little to no Japanese representation in the American theatre world. I am going to go with my gut and cast asian actors that aren't necessarily Chinese/Japanese, but that I think can pull it off. I will also recast a role due to this actress’ experience in Waitress. Here it is:

-Eva Noblezada as Miwako Shimizu

-Kimiko Glenn as Yumi Shimizu

-Literally? any KPOP boy as Rentaro. Take your pick. I don’t know enough KPOP to make that call.

-Etsuko Shimazu as Takae Nagai 

-Renee Elise Goldsberry as Savannah Woodham and Santino Fontana as Logan.

-Erika Henningsen as Nancy Drew

What’s a girl to do when there are no jobs? Once Mikuri Moriyama got out of grad school, all she could find was a temp job, and they just laid her off! Worried about his daughter, her dad helps her get a job doing housekeeping for this guy he used to work with named Tsuzaki. Just when things are starting to go well, though, Mikuri’s parents decide it’s time to move out to the countryside. She’ll likely be unemployed for the rest of her life if she goes with them, but she doesn’t make enough money to rent her own place. That’s when Mikuri, always the daydreamer, comes up with a solution out of left field…

Eternity Loves the Creations of Time (Chapter 4)

Chapter 4: Marina

Here comes Marina.

AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/28888881/chapters/70947045

Marina always had good hearing and in her final days it felt like she was hearing something else. It wasn’t something normal, it wasn’t something that she’d ever heard before. Or had she? Maybe she had. It was familiar, actually, despite the fact she couldn’t place when or where she’d heard it before. Or if she had at all.

As she found herself in an odd state of consciousness, she found that this sound, clearer now, sounding more like a beautiful melody, also had a feeling to it. It tugged at her, leading her in its direction, growing ever louder. She was floating. She was floating closer and closer as the music grew louder and louder.

Then she landed on the ground, hard.

And then, something went whooshing by where her head had been a few seconds ago.

---

The Land of Light, like many places, had it’s sort of interesting culture, which Ryu found himself learning purely by being around. It was, in a way, similar to how Mirai had to learn human culture just by being on Earth. The knowledge Mirai wasn’t human had certainly explained some of his gaps in knowledge of humans and their culture. He would have only known from stories or something similar. Ryu was never the kind of person to take a specific interest in culture, but the cheer that Mebius exuded when he talked about it was usually plenty enough reason for him to ask.

Sometimes, if you passed by groups of children, you could hear them singing some nursery rhyme or another, or they’d be playing a game.  The songs weren’t much like anything Ryu was familiar with, but some of the games resembled a semblance of something he could remember from his own childhood. On some occasions, Ryu did ask Mebius about something he’d seen or heard and every time, Mebius would explain happily. There was something nice about that, even if it was odd to be the one who was being given the explanation.

What they were doing today was something like that, because Mebius decided that it was time to properly sit down and teach Ryu about the Land of Light. They were sitting in Mebius’ living room, one “evening”, Mebius having corralled George into the room and into a chair, with Ryu and Sakomizu easily willing to sit and listen. Mebius started telling them about the Land of Light.

After a while, George finally asked, “Okay, so, how come no one seems to question you just having more and more people living with you?”

Mebius perked up a bit at that, “Oh, well, it’s normal for close family in the Land of Light to live together, and since everyone seems to mistaken Ryu for being related to me, they probably just assume you and Sakomizu are also members of my family.”

Family, huh? Well, Ryu supposed that, in the end, there were worse things people could assume they were. It wasn’t even like he was terribly opposed to the idea, really. Crew GUYS had always been a sort of family to him, and as it were he was in a room with around half of those he really considered that. (It wasn’t that he didn’t care for other teams of Crew GUYS, the team that he captained. He did, it was just that they didn’t feel quite so close. Not so much family as just people he was close-ish with.) As annoyed as Ryu tended to be when people mistaken him and Mebius for brothers - Taiga was the biggest offender, for some reason - he did care for Mebius greatly, if it weren’t obvious.

Beside him, George rolled his eyes, most likely at the thought of them being family, which he would probably consider a cheesy thought. Ryu could see where he was coming from, but it really didn’t bother him too much. Though it made Ryu wonder, a bit, if it were common for families to live together, then why did Mebius live alone? There was the possibility that Mebius wasn’t particularly close with his family - Ryu could understand that - or maybe something had happened to them. For a moment, he wanted to ask, but then thought better of it.

“I suppose families are often close here in the Land of Light?” Sakomizu inquired from his seat, a bit off to the side.

“Usually,” Mebius hummed, “There are exceptions. It’s not unusual for children to live with their parents and their grandparents, plus any of their parents and grandparents siblings and their children. Sometimes a family member prefers to be more independent or just needs more room, so they’ll move out of the family home.”

Ryu couldn’t help but wonder if that was why Mebius lived alone - because he wanted to be more independent. He quickly dismissed the thought, Mebius wasn’t really the type to want to be more independent. He spent much of his time with Crew GUYS, even when he didn’t have to.

Cheerfully, Mebius continued his explanation, “Obviously orphans usually end up living alone, until they start a family of their own.” There was a sort of fondness there, as odd as it sounded. “It’s also starting to become a new trend with the younger Ultras just to live with your friends, once you’re old enough.”

Maybe that was why Mebius lived alone, maybe he was supposed to be living with friends, maybe he had been. There were plenty of reasons that could have changed. The friends could have gone back to their families or had families of their own they wanted to live with elsewhere. But wouldn’t Mebius have mentioned some friends having lived there before if that were the case?

“There’s a lot of families that don’t have grandparents, since the parents were orphaned during the war. But nowadays, those people are the parents of the children of the Land of Light.” Mebius continued his explanation, “Still, it’s not like even the orphans we have now live alone. The orphanages have plenty of children in them and there’s usually several adults there too. Generally, regardless of what your family is like, you usually live with someone, whether they’re your family or friends.”

George hummed, “Huh, you sure know a lot about all that.”

“It’s not really that unknown amongst people in the Land of Light.”

It looked like George was about to say more, but was interrupted by a knock at the door. Tilting his head and looking in the direction of the door, Mebius stands up. He looks quizzically at the door, “I wonder who that is?” He goes over and opens the door, to be greeted by Ace, with another Ultra behind him. “Oh, brother Ace!”

With a small smile, Ace greets him, “Hello, Mebius,” He pauses for a moment, then gestures back to Ultra behind him, “I… think I found one of your friends.”

“Huh?”

Behind Ace, the Ultra smiles at Mebius with a wave. “Hey, Mirai,” A smile broke onto Mebius’ face, as he easily recognized the voice as Marina. For a moment, he found himself wondering once more how his friends were arriving here and how they became Ultras.

“Marina!” He welcomed Marina in and bid goodbye to Ace as he left.

Ryu and George peer over to where Mebius and Marina now stand. In an almost amazed voice, George says, “So… Marina’s here now?”

Having already had two other people appear on them, now three, Ryu just sighed, not terribly surprised. Really, you could tell him that Konomi and Teppei would be joining them and he’d honestly just consider it all par for the course. At this point, he would honestly even welcome them to be there, if not because he’d be happy to see them and be with them again, then because they were all a team, even now, and it would feel wrong not to have everybody. 

Watching the joy on Mebius’ face with Marina’s appearance told Ryu that Mebius really wouldn’t mind, either. Then again, for the longest time, Mirai had been the glue holding Crew GUYS together, until everyone else had time to stick themselves on their own. Had there not been a time when none of them could recall their bonds with Mirai and hadn’t that time brought him so much pain? Yet as much as it had hurt him, Mirai still tried to reach them, to remind them of their friendship with him. It was baffling that anything had been able to make them forget their bonds with someone as extraordinary a friend as Mirai, someone who always went so far to help them.

There was a time where Ryu had accepted to himself that one day, he’d have to say goodbye to Mirai once and for all. And that he may never truly know what day that was, that perhaps it had already come to pass and he wouldn’t realize it until the last second. Yet when he’d thought that second had come, he had awoken in the Land of Light, at Mebius’ confused face. He’d felt a little like he’d seen a ghost, at that moment, since he’d been certain that he’d die before he’d see his friend again. Ryu wondered if Sakomizu, George, or Marina had felt the same at some point before arriving here. He wondered if Mebius ever felt the same.

As Mebius resumed telling them about the Land of Light, with Marina as his newest student, Ryu couldn’t find it in himself to care.
