Invader Log: Entry Nine

So much has happened, and I was disconnected from my comms. No need to lurk anymore, enough people have found me on here and communicating with this Tumblr can be helpful moving forward.

I was caught on the Massive by the one called Iruz: a Zim with less than honorable intentions with Tallest Miyuki (@tallest-blue-nerd,) Irk, and its people.

Red, Purple, (@almighty-smallest) Survivor DiB (@zurvivor-zib) and Survivor Miyuki were all caught as well. Red, Purple, and I had all of our weapons and comms deactivated. Survivor Miyuki had been taken back to be questioned, and she wasn't the same when she returned...

We couldn't do anything but think and talk with one another. Spork (@i-am-spork) continued to work on evacuating the Massive before Iruz could do more damage.

The next one to be caught was Ukagaka Zim (@ukagaka-zim.) That's when it started to get interesting.

Red and Purple were cautious with the new Zim, but Purple eventually seemed to warm up to him and the discussions became less annoying. And my suspicions that D1b (@invader-d1b) and Ukagaka Zim were close has been confirmed. They were much closer than I thought, but I don't need to elaborate on that.

Anyway, Navigator Nii was eventually caught as well. She was determined to fightback.

Purple and Ukagaka Zim were taken back to be questioned as well. This set Red on edge. But Nii had a plan to escape, using @zim-exe's Gir. It failed and Gir was deactivated and captured. We haven't found the little robot yet.

Nii, Red, and I all received collars from Iruz's henchman. A torture method. But we held up. Nii and Red were fantastic. Iruz apparently didn't like that, because he came to the cells to talk to us himself.

I have no idea what started happening, but it was amazing.

Stuff started breaking. The collars just stopped working and fell off. My comms and weapons system came back online. Iruz took out his own guards. Ukagaka Zim and Purple were somehow freed and returned to the cells with knives and deactivated the cells.

Ukagaka Zim had to leave to repair his PAK legs, leaving me, Red, Purple, and Nii to fight back.

Iruz managed to stab Nii, Red, and Purple. He made a break for it, leaving all four of us. I wasn't about to let Iruz get away, so I pinged Tallest Miyuki to come help Nii, Red, and Purple and went after Iruz myself.

I'm still going after him...

End log.

Smallest Purple's Mission, Part Three

(Starring Purple from @almighty-smallest and Pop the S.I.R. unit, featuring mentions of @tallest-blue-nerd)

Purple had latched his ship onto the enemy craft, using a special device to lock his ship into place.

"Sir, we don't have any kind of legal clearance for this kind of operation," Pop said hesitantly as Purple activated his space suit.

"Translation?" Purple asked.

"Miyuki didn't say we could do this," Pop sighed.

"Alternatively, she didn't say we couldn't," Purple pointed out.

Pop face palmed. "You're joking."

"I am not."

"And you wonder why I prefer the non-exciting part of our trips," Pop said.

"Who said I wondered that?"

"You did. You literally asked me why I preferred it."

Purple paused for a moment. "Oh, I did do that." He shrugged and opened the hatch on the ship.

"Sir, how do you even plan to do this?" Pop asked as Purple activated some sort of gravitational boot attachment.

"Step one, get inside." Purple stepped out of the hatch, carefully holding on to the edge. The attachments on his boots kept him from floating off the moving ship and he walked across the hull.

"And what's step two?" Pop activated his rocket boots and flew next to Purple.

"I haven't gotten that far yet," Purple said, kneeling by a specific panel.

"You what?"

"Here goes!" Purple extended his PAK legs and aimed them at the panel. Before Pop could protest, he activated the lazers and cut into the panel.

"Sir!" Pop insisted. 

"Can't hear ya!" Purple yelled back, drilling into the hull. "I already deactivated their alarms!"

"Purple, this is a terrible idea!" Pop said frantically.

"Probably!" Purple finished cutting the panel out. He used the PAK legs to pull out the cut piece, creating an entry leading directly into a vent. "You scared?"

"Yes, in fact!"

"Live a little, come on," Purple chuckled.

Pop flew closer to Purple. "Living is what I'd like to do!"

Purple grabbed Pop's hand. "And down we go." He jumped into the hole, his PAK legs reattaching the panel piece once he was inside.

Pop squirmed a little against Purple's hand. "You owe me after this."

"Alright sure, we can get your favorite slurpies on our way home." Purple let Pop go.

"Fine," Pop muttered, turning off his rockets and standing next to Purple. "That is, if you don't kill us."

"Yeah, we need to be alive for that," Purple agreed, walking down the vent shaft. It was dark and bland in there, unnervingly warm. He was short enough to walk without slouching, his antenna pinned back to avoid brushing against the metal.

Pop sighed and followed, his metal feet clinking lightly against the shaft.

There was a faint light up ahead, coming from a grate in the shaft.

Purple got down on his hands and knees to peer out of the grate. Below them was a quiet gray hall. The hall was huge, about ten feet tall and eleven feet across.

"Sir, whatever is on this ship is huge," Pop said nervously.

"Well, the pirates are made up of all kinds of species. So we won't necessarily run into any big ones," Purple whispered back.

"It's just us going up against this ship, you really think this is going to work?" Pop asked. "I mean, just think about what happened on the Massive. You weren't able to help much there."

"Hey, that was different. And I did fight Iruz and survive. So don't even," Purple huffed. 

Pop did not respond, he just looked out of the grate into the hall.

"Look, we'll stick to the vents and find our way to the engine room. A simple rig with a timer, we head back to the ship and blow it all to smithereens!" Purple said excitedly.

"And what if there are innocent people on the ship? You know the Catre have dealings in the slave trade," Pop pointed out.

"Oooh…" Purple cringed.

"And the enemies can take escape pods," Pop added.

"True…" Purple sighed.

"You didn't think this through at all."

"Nope."

Pop face palmed.

Purple thought for a minute. "Let's find out if there are any prisoners here first. We can access pretty much the entire ship from the vents. We might have to dodge some security when it comes back online, but we should be set. After we find out what they're shipping, we plan the rest of our attack."

"Alright…" Pop relented.

Purple gestured for Pop to follow him and continued down the ventilation shaft. Pop was right behind.

Fallen Timeline pt.2

Nii gasped, she looked around, the room was dark except for one single light source above her head. Her vision was blurry, her head ached. She tried to move but couldn't.

"Look who's awake!" A voice rang out from the pitch black void, Nii looked up, her expression quickly changing to one of anger and hatred "What do you want? You've already hurt us enough, there's nothing left to get out of us, everything is already under your control!"

"Everything..?" The source of the voice appeared into the light, "But I thought you knew! There's more past this branch that we're on! I'm surprised you didn't know seeing as how you've been attempting contact."

Nii's expression remained, eyeing down Iruz. "So what? You're going to kill me? Turn me into another one of your dreadful zombie minions like Hunter!?"

Iruz chuckled at Nii's remark "Why would I kill you? When I can use you? Take advantage of how broken you are? Bring her in!" Iruz called out to his guards. Minutes later, another Irken was brought in; Invader Vee. Nii stared at Vee, then at Iruz, "Vee? What are doing with her?!" She looked back at Iruz, her antennas pinned against her head, her teeth now bared in a growl

"To make an example to you, that I'm not done" he signalled the guards, for a brief second, Nii looked at Vee, Vee returning the look, before a vicious crack echoed through the room, and then the collapse of a body. Nii looked in horror, tears quickly springing to her eyes, she then immediately began to struggle in her chair, attempting to break the binds.

"She was just the example of what will happen to the rest of them" Iruz grabbed Nii by the chin, turning her head towards his "So, I'll give you an option, you can die for them, or they'll die. Seems like an easy option, doesn't it?" He chuckled, watching Nii's despair with his manic eyes. Nii's head slumped down.

"Fine... As long as they live" she growled at Iruz

"Good choice.." his smile widened, and it was the last thing Nii saw before her vision returned to black...

Zirus sat in his cell, staring at the bed that belonged to Nii, he then looked down. He couldn't help but worry for Nii's safety, she'd attempted to save them, but never herself. He looked up as guards walked into the hall, opening Vee's cell and aggressively pulling her out, she did attempt to resist, though it only ended in her being knocked out and pulled away. Zirus quickly stood up and walked to the bars, he watched them leave his line of sight. He looked up at the other prisoners, but they didn't seem as worried as he, infact, it's like they didn't care. Iruz had beat them down so many times that they have given up. Zirus sat back down, even more worried now. What had Nii gotten herself into?

It was about 2 hours later Earth time, and no sign of Vee or Nii, until the small screen in each cell sparked to life, the screen showing an Irken, and another masked figure. Iruz tried to identify them, but he only needed to identify one; Nii. He watched in horror as the masked figure walked behind Nii, pulling her head back, and stabbing her back with a staff, the same device used to take out the original resistance by disabling their PAKs, ultimately killing them. He watched as Nii's head then slumped forward dead. The other prisoners watched as well, horror spreading into their eyes as they too watched the death. Zirus didn't know how to feel or what to do. He'd spent so long trying to protect Nii, that he'd grown a liking to her, but now... Now she was gone, he failed her and, he failed himself.

Despite the rumors, Wei Wuxian was a kind and compassionate man. His heart was big, he cherished those he loved, and the bonds he had with them was something he was never going to trade with anything else. His love for his found family ran so deep that he was willing to become the villain and be shunned by the rest of the world. He did not care for his reputation as long as his family was safe. That was all it mattered to him.

Even the most patient of souls had limits and when the line was crossed, it could lead to disastrous consequences.

or: Wei Wuxian refuses to die in the Burial Mounds because he is tired of people badmouthing him and killing innocents in the name of justice.

Dee’s thoughts - A delightfully dark answer to what would happen if WWX lost his patience at the BM mounds siege. There’s a hint of manipulation because WWX honestly has the patience of a saint and won’t really snap otherwise. Enjoyable read.

Ju’s thoughts - The moment WWX destroys the seal and the corpses attack him, one of the spirits there talks to WWX to convince him not to give up, because he still has a family to protect (the Wens). I have always been mad and sad about what happened to the Wen remnants, and having this spirit show and convince WWX that he was not wrong to fight against the self-righteous sects for the only family that really treated him like family? *chef’s kiss*

“Maji Desuka Suka”

Release date: April 6, 2011

Oricon Weekly placement: 5th

B-side: “Motto Aishite Hoshiino”

Members: Ai Takahashi, Aika Mitsui, Erina Ikuta, Kanon Suzuki, Mizuki Fukumura, Reina Tanaka, Riho Sayashi, Risa Niigaki, Sayumi Michishige

I previously pointed out echoes of an earlier period of Morning Musume, specifically when I discussed how some of the Sexy 8 Beat singles saw a return to classic disco. Those callbacks in those releases, though, were relatively surface. Morning Musume never truly abandoned disco, even if the production toys with different sounds, and the dance-pop genre still strongly informs the foundation of the group’s music in the post-EDM era.

“Maji Desuka Suka,” meanwhile, taps into the past in a deeper way than simply re-using recognizable sounds. The make-up of the single certainly has a precedent from the group’s catalog. Morning Musume played with ska for “Koko Ni Iruze!” back in 2002, but this time, the stylistic reference is made much more obvious -- Maji Desuka Ska, get it? The production goes for a much more cheesy direction with bleep-bloop synths accenting the brass and guitars alongside some random turntable scratches -- a nostalgic trope that further calls back Dance Man-arranged singles from more than a decade ago.

The idols respond to the energetic production with bubbliness to match. Some of the recent releases such as “Kimagure Princess” and “Onna To Otoko No Lullaby Game” played with theatricality, but they haven’t touched on an overtly cutesy performance like the one in “Maji Desuka Suka” since that same era as “Koko Ni Iruze!” For a decade and change, the group has been focusing instead on polishing both their personality and performance into something edgy and stoic.

“Junior-high kids suddenly came into the group, and I felt, ‘wow, are they really going to make the new members sing this type of song,’” Sayumi Michishige recollected the first time she received “Maji Desuka Suka” after a series of dramatic dance-pop exploring serious sides of love affairs. “But I thought it was fun. The Morning Musume I grew up with was ‘Love Machine’ and ‘Koi No Dance Site,’ so I thought this feeling of Morning Musume has come back again.”

There arguably was not a more perfect time to pivot all the way back to the low-stakes, dumb-fun joys of the group’s golden era than “Maji Desuka Suka.” Morning Musume briefly went about as a five-piece due to the graduation of Eri Kamei, Junjun and Linlin after “Onna To Okoto No Lullaby Game.” “Maji Desuka Suka” welcomed the ninth generation, balancing the line-up basically 50-50 between the veterans and the four new teens, and the single brings out a fresh energy that the young members can only naturally bring.

Tsunku goes all out in his absurdist lyrical tendencies to further encourage fun and playfulness. Some bits of it feel familiar and even nostalgic. Lines that put life and the entire universe in panoramic view -- “Oh, this galaxy/ has too much nuisance/ avoid it well/ and let’s fulfill our dreams” -- sharing space with random throwaways -- “which cake should I buy tonight?” -- is definitely a product of Tsunku. The overall determination to be 110% positive can also only come from the songwriter.

“The ninth-generation members brought this freshness that the older, twentysomething members couldn’t bring, so it became fun to try and follow it,” Michishige shared. “Morning Musume also became brighter, within our group, the music and the atmosphere.”

my pain is my own, by dystopiandreamgrrrl

Its raining in Gusu. Wei Wuxian is in pain from a past injury. He confides in Lan Wangji about his fall into the burial mounds. Lan Wangji helps his husband feel better.

make your good love known to me (tell me 'bout your day), by glitteringmoonlight

In the soft light of the Jingshi, Wei Ying glows. He is ethereal, alluring, stunning, utterly enchanting, and Lan Wangji delights in his very existence. He is utterly, devastatingly beautiful, and Lan Wangji is helpless at the sight of him. Everything Wei Ying does— tilting his head, biting his lip, twirling the brush in his hands absently— captivates Lan Wangji. He would be content to spend an entire night like this, entire days even, simply extolling Wei Ying’s virtues in his own mind.

When Wei Ying finally lifts his head up and catches sight of Lan Wangji, his eyes sparkle with mirth. Setting down his brush carefully, he smiles coyly and tilts his head, resting his cheek on his palm. “What has caught the esteemed Hanguang-jun’s attention, I wonder,” he teases. “I can feel the weight of his gaze from over here!”

A ridiculous thought occurred to Lan Zhan.

At his feet, the cat responded with an emphatic trilling noise and a little hop of excitement.

Anyone who spent a prolonged amount of time with Wei Ying also found themselves regularly staring absurdity in the face. Lan Zhan had come to expect it, really, and very few things truly surprised him anymore.

This, though… this was a new one.

Invader Log: Entry Ten

The crisis is over.

I pursued Iruz for quite some time, but eventually, Ukagaka Zim (@ukagaka-zim), D1b (@invader-d1b), Tallest Miyuki (@tallest-blue-nerd), and a patched up Navigator Nii, Invader Red and Invader Purple (@almighty-smallest) came to help take Iruz down.

However, Iruz had brought all of the Perfection Society (the cult) from Irk onto the Massive, we were outnumbered. A plan was hatched since Spork (@i-am-spork) has already evacuated a lot of the Massive. Ukagaka Zim began to teleport everyone remaining to safety on Irk, while Zuri (@survivor-zim) set up the ship's self destruct.

The teleportation was too much and some were lost, including Zuri. There was nothing anyone could have done to help them at the time. Some of the PAKs were recovered, most of which belonged to the dead cult members, but Zuri's PAK was found again.

He's currently being rebuilt by Tallest Miyuki.

Red, Purple, and I went off to help Spork with clean up. There were several Irkens who survived, but had been injured. Spork had used several ships from the Massive, including escape pods, Invader ships, and this thing called a Voot and get everyone he could off the Massive before the teleportation plan had been thought of.

During the clean up, the one called Zirus (@zim-exe) showed up with us. I talked with him a little and he explained that he was looking for a S.I.R. unit. I helped him find the unit, which I remembered as Gir, and Zirus then took some time to power the robot back on. I lost track of him after that, but I noticed that the Voot went missing as well.

Red and Purple have been behaving, Purple seems to get along well with Ukagaka Zim and maybe even Zimmy (@shadowbugzimmy.) I am pleasantly surprised.

A replacement for the Massive will have to be constructed, but that's not the priority at the moment. First task at hand, attend to our fellow Irkens. And try to rest after all that mess.

End log.

Fallen Timeline pt.1

Inspired from FastenWick's Doomed Timeline series

BOOM!

She had been running, everything was blurry, her head throbbed, Irkens spoke and screamed, but they were no more than a hum to her. Irkens boarded escape pods, they were running out though, a crackle came over the intercom, this, however, she heard perfectly clear, it was the voice of the one she loved most, she had starting dating her a month or two before.

"Nii? Nii?! Wake up!" Nii woke up, sweat dripping down her body, being absorbed by her plain black tank top, beside her was a heavily scarred Zirus.

"Again?" He asked, his antennas faced downwards apposed from upwards as usual, Nii responded with only a nod, tears welled up in her eyes, this was just an infinite hell, one she'll never be able to escape, and neither could the other survivors.

"Is everyone still-" Nii began to talk

"Yes, everyone is still safe" Zirus responded, the two of them looked out the bars of the cell, Irkens sat, shivering, coughing, dying, seeing the remnants of what was left of everyone made her want to scream with anger, but she couldn't, everybody needed to rest, especially during a time where everyone felt to weak to even move, she stood up and look through the bars, she looked two cells down from the one across her, a female Irken, wearing an scratched and battered invader suit, the sight made Nii smile once more

"No response from anyone on Tumblr yet?" Zirus asked, making sure his voice was a whisper, Nii shook her head, reaching out was their only hope of survival, but it was also very, very deadly, down the narrow hall, the clanking of locks could be heard, then the steps of heavy boots, almost as if someone was wearing boots made from pure steal, Nii growled as the sound got closer.

"Aww, looks like the Navigator is still feeling brave" a tall figure appeared in front the cell, the figure resembled Zuri, but there were differences, one was the fact he had an arm, unlike Zuri, and his neck and part of his chest were scratched, battle scars from when he killed Zuri, Miyuki, D1b, Uka, and almost everyone else, most killed themselves however. Iruz wrapped a hand around a bar "So tell me, what makes you think that you're intimidating?" His voice was like venom, sinking into the blood of those around him, causing them to jump back with fright. Zirus grabbed Nii's shoulder, pulling her back, but she didn't budge, she bared her teeth towards Iruz, but Iruz just smiled at her, before continuing his walk down the hallway, guards followed behind him, holding staffs that sparked with electricity and hatred. Nii finally let go of the bars and sat back down, Zirus sat next to her

"I understand you want to stand up to him, but you're bravery act is going to be dug up and underneath, all will be left is how you truly feel, just stand down for once. Okay?" Zirus placed a hand on Nii's shoulder, trying to comfort her. She thought, she needed a better strategy then just waiting to be rescued, she needed to take matters into her own hands.
