Round 3 — Fashion Show
Theme: "Cosplay Round!"
Contestants: Eldrid Iwasaki & Kirumi Mayeda
Divisions: Taitō & Takatsuki
Tumblr media Tumblr media
"...Right. So... apparently, I'm cosplaying as some tough-as-nails vigilante chick from a show where two cities are at war with each other and she's hunting down her adoptive sister, along with her rival-turned-friend-turned-lover. ...That sounds exactly like me. ...Kirumi babe, why do I get the feeling you chose these two characters for more than just your love of the show?"

Broken apart by death- held together by a string of fate
The team known as Shattered Moon is no longer- well…the leader is gone.
Ryoko Minamoto is dead- found at her computer unmoving and unresponsive by her roommate and teammate.
Now the team has reformed.
Their leader is the DJ known as Overdrive- but you can call him Aiko Mayeda. Stepping up in place of his fallen friend- will he play the part of leader well?
The second is the voice actress known as Echo- real name Kirumi Mayeda (though outside of the DRB she hyphenates her last name to be Mayeda-Iwasaki). Still recovering from actions both past and present- will she be able to overcome her fears?
The third member is Yukiko “Yuki” Sakura- also known by her MC name “Radiant Queen”. A former adult actress turned bartender- all she wanted to do is marry and lay low for awhile. Will she be able to avoid her previous fame?
Together these three form- Fractured Eclipse

Keiko's Thoughts on Takatsuki Division (Redux)
Tumblr media
Aiko Mayeda
"Wow... so Aiko-san is leading Takatsuki Division now? ...Huh. It's kinda funny, to be honest. He seemed like a very laid-back guy, not really interested in being a leader, much less being in the D.R.B., itself. I know he only joined in the first place cause he was friends with Ryoko. But now that she's... passed-on, what's his reason for still doing it? Is it out of respect for her? If so, then good on him."
"Besides that, I haven't much to Takatsuki lately, so I haven't had a chance to stop by Club Nova. I hope with his new responsibilities as leader, he'll still have a chance to perform."
Kirumi Mayeda
"I actually got a chance to speak with Kirumi-san recently. She did the voice of 'Mikio' one of the female leads in "Red of the Ambitious". Not surprisingly, she did very well! I'll never understand how voice actors can change their voices to sound so different, yet so similar to the ones they've done before. I have respect for them. I haven't spoken to her since Ryoko-san's passing, but I can tell she was upset about it, especially since she was the one who found Ryoko in her... state. I hope she's doing better..."
Yukiko "Yuki" Sakura
Keiko frowns at the photo of the bartender woman. "...No offense to Aiko-san, but, and this is just my opinion, he could have done a lot better, or searched harder for a new teammate to replace Ryoko in the third spot. Takatsuki is a... fairly large city. I don't think it would have been all that difficult to find someone much better. I mean, I know she's his girlfriend, but… he could have done better than having a former porn star in his group."
"...What, you're curious on how I know about her "former" profession? I read up and do research on everyone in the D.R.B., or everyone that attracts Chuohku's interest. So when Aiko came to Chuohku to give his new team roster, naturally, I looked up on who it was. Imagine my surprise when his new team consisted of himself, Kirumi-san, and... his girlfriend, the infamous 'Yukiko Sakura'."
"Truthfully though, I didn't need to do research on her since I already knew about her thanks to my mot-, I mean, that woman. Anyone involved with the porn industry I keep tabs on. Why? So I know who to avoid in case they are acquaintances with my mother, which they usually are. ...Gah, as if having one porn star in this tournament wasn't bad enough. Now, we have two. I get that she's "taking a break", but I've no doubt she'll slip back into her old ways. Porn freaks can never stay away for too long..."
Fractured Eclipse
"...You know, no offense to this division, but... I'm kind of surprised that Otome-sama let them reform after Ryoko-san sadly passed. I figured the only reason they were allowed to form in the first place was because of Ryoko. But judging the success rate they had against the other divisions, I'm surprised the Prime Minister left them alone for so long."
"I suppose since they were already involved in the tournament, letting them disband because of Ryoko-san's passing would be a waste. Still, and nothing against Aiko and Kirumi, Ryoko was, perhaps, the only real threat out of the previous team. With her gone and Aiko-san taking over, I don't see this new team doing any better than the previous one. ...But then again, Ryoko-san did have a lot of animosity with many other people in the divisions. Perhaps with Aiko-san in charge, the team's reputation will get better. But as for performance-wise, well... we'll see what happens when they have their first battle."

Chinami's Thoughts on Takatsuki Division
Tumblr media
Ryoko Minamoto
The blind seer of Ōta lifts a cup of warm green tea to her lips. Letting the liquid fill her mouth, it soon descends down her throat filling her body with warmth. Sighing, she puts her glass to the side and begins observing Japan's interesting and abnormal people. Placing her hands around her crystal ball, she thinks about which team to choose now... she makes a decision. The team of Shattered Moon of Takatsuki Division.
"Minamoto Ryoko."
The crystal ball begins by playing out the scene of a bespectacled young girl of 11 or 12 walking through a school hallway, holding onto a textbook with her head down, carrying a textbook in her arms. She figures if she keeps to herself, no one will bother her. Many other kids in the hallway barely give her a passing glance, but a few either snicker at her or whisper something to their friends while pointing their fingers at her.
She is so busy trying to avoid looking or communicating with anyone, she doesn't pay attention to what is in front of her. Before she knows it, she is quickly shoved to the side into a row of lockers by a much taller girl and falls to the ground. The older girl sneers at her along with her friends and continues on their way as if nothing happened. Almost everyone watching laughs at the bespectacled girl, who fights back her tears. She picks up the book she dropped, and continues walking down the hallway, more quickly this time. All the while she is thinking to herself, 'Don't let it get to you. Just ignore it.' The scene then ends.
The scene opens up to show the bespectacled girl again. She hasn't changed much, though she is a year or so older. She is sitting in a hospital room, looking at an older woman with similar facial features in a hospital bed. The woman is very weak but still looks at the girl as she speaks. The girl is smiling sadly, whilst holding onto the woman's left hand. The woman closes her eyes and murmurs a few words before the heart monitor makes a beeping sound, showing that the woman has flatlined. The girl's eyes fill with water as she hugs the woman as doctors and nurses come into the room, rushing the girl out. She stands by a wall and slides down it as she continues to cry for the loss of her loved one. The scene then ends.
The scene begins by showing the young girl, now many years older sitting down on a couch in her house. She is obviously troubled as she looks down at her hands and what is in them. In one hand is her mobile device, used to send texts or make calls. In her other hand was a phone number on a business card, one she doesn't recognize but was told to call. How did she get the number you ask? It was given to her by a strange black-haired woman who told her that she could solve all of her money problems if she agreed to call her and inform her about the whereabouts of two women whom she personally knew.
The bespectacled woman weighed her options. This woman obviously did not have the best of intentions regarding the two women whom she wanted to find. And besides that, both girls were her friends, and they treated her far better than anyone else did. They didn't judge her, make fun of her, or anything. ...But with her caretaker falling ill, money was hard to come by, and in this world, the more money you had, the better. Not only that, the woman promised her a position in the government. Working for Chuohku with a high position... it was something few could even dream about! Weighing her options, she clenched her teeth and shook her head. Opening the call menu, the girl punched in the numbers on the card. She had made her choice.
The scene now shows the woman in her current form. She has aged almost a decade, but is now a proud member of Chuohku wearing their official uniform. She is seen bossing people around, and most officials either give her a wide berth or simply ignore her. She has made many sacrifices and choices to get to where she is now. ...Though she says she doesn't regret any of them, she knows it is a lie. The money she had received for betraying her best friend... no, a better term for them would be 'blood money'. She can never take back what she has done. ...And even if she could, what would be the point?
Aiko Mayeda
"Mayeda Aiko."
At the DJ's name, the crystal ball begins to play out a scene. In it, a scene of a dark-haired boy of nine years is seen in a dirty kitchen. He is trying to use a stove to cook something for himself and someone else. In a room not too far away from where he is, he can hear the loud snoring and mumbling of a man whom he'd rather not think about right now. He can smell, and even taste the scent of alcohol from where he is. It makes him sick to his stomach. He inhales a deep intake of air as he pulls his hand back after getting some hot oil on his arm. He growls as a faint burn appears. It's official: he really hates this way of life. The scene then ends.
A new scene opens showing the dark-haired boy again, though he is several years older, now a teenager. He is sitting in an office with his legs crossed and his head resting on one of his hands as he faces a table full of school board members. He frowns as he already knows what they've decided to do with him. He didn't bother defending himself as he knew anything he said would either just get misinterpreted or disregarded. So what was the point? He knew he wasn't an ideal student. He knew he had a tendency to, as they say, "act out".
But none of that compared with him beating and hurting a member of the school staff. But he had no regrets. In fact, he'd do it again in a heartbeat if he could. And why not? That bastard tried to sexually assault someone he cared about! He deserved everything that happened to him, and more! Looking up, he listened as the head of the table began talking, though he already knew what was being said. The scene then ends.
The scene changes showing the dark-haired boy again. Again, he is older than his previous form. In fact, he looks so different, it'd be a wonder that you can recognize him. His hair had been cut to a short length, and he was dressed in a JMSDF uniform. He stifles a yawn as he is lined up with other navy men and women. Even after a year in this place, he hasn't fully adapted to the schedule he keeps. Still, he will admit, this place has provided him with a discipline he never thought he'd have. He looks as the captain approaches, and sighs, as he mentally prepares himself for another hard day. The scene then ends.
The scene comes on showing the boy in his current form as he currently standing behind a turntable in a nightclub. A smile is on his face as he appears happy for the first time in his life. ...But still, as happy as this life makes him, he can't help but wonder just how long it will last. Will he truly be able to protect his friends and family from the evil machinations of Chuohku? And speaking of which, will Ryoko's position as a Chuohku official reach his limit with her, forcing him to end their long friendship with each other?
Kirumi Mayeda
"Mayeda Kirumi."
The crystal ball comes on and shows a young girl of four or five sitting at a table in a dinky-looking kitchen. A boy with dark hair is busy, trying to cook something on a stove. As he finishes, he places two plates on the table: one for her and one for himself. He places a small piece of meat which is a bit burnt and some greens on both plates. She looks at his plate and notices that his portion is a lot smaller than hers. She offers some of her food to him, but he shakes his head 'no', and just encourages her to eat, which she does. That was it. A normal dinner in their household. One where they were required to do the work that adults were supposed to do. The scene then ends.
The scene then changes as the girl is older. She is sitting outside an office inside a school. She is struggling to hold back her tears as she is trying to come to terms with what is happening. It was all her fault. Her fault that her brother was now going to have to be forced to leave the school. He was already looked down upon because of his acts of vandalism and fighting. She didn't know why he acted this way; he never told her. But now... now he was going to be expelled. And it was all her fault! If only... if only she hadn't agreed to meet with that boy... if only she had never got herself in that situation... if only she had never been born! If only... if only...
The scene changes again and shows the girl has aged once again. She is sitting outside in a room, in a studio. She was clearly nervous. For one thing, she had never done voice acting before. And for another, she was a bit nervous about being alone with a man, especially after... no! She... she promised her brother she wasn't going to think about that. This unfortunately did little to help her nervousness. Taking a deep breath, she jumped up as her name was called. Hurrying inside, she stopped as she felt the cell phone in her pocket buzz, signaling a new message. Quickly pulling it out, she looked as on the main screen was a message from her brother, which only had two short, but sweet words: 'Good luck.' Smiling, the girl felt her anxiety vanish as she proceeded further into the studio.
The scene opens showing the girl in her current form. She is currently standing inside a sound room, reading from a script as she is voicing a character for a horror movie that is coming out soon. She always like horror genres; they were far easier to get into than other ones. She sighs as she finishes her lines, but is truly happy with her work. Despite her life not being how she planned it, she was happy with it.
...Of course, she still can't shake the feelings of the past. The feelings of that man who came close to assaulting her. She knows it happened in the past and that the man is gone, but she still has nightmares of that day. Will there come a time when she can have a restful sleep without memories of that day occurring?
Shattered Moon
Much like before, Chinami's hand scours the 78 tarot cards laid out on her table. Her hand seems to automatically stop at certain ones, and won't continue until she has turned them over, revealing which ones they are. Obeying, the blind seer does this three times until the cards are revealed. The first one shows five magicians fighting each other upside down (Five of Wands - Reversed). The second card is a man inside a horse-driven machine (The Chariot). The last card features a woman stroking a lion's head upside down (Strength - Reversed).
The ball begins to play out moments in Shattered Moon's lives. Ryoko awakening in a hospital bed after a tragic accident, Aiko meeting his girlfriend, Yukiko Sakura, for the first time, and Kirumi's marriage to her betrothed. All three did not have happy childhoods, but they have obviously tried their hardest to make the most of them. But will their pasts continue to hold sway over their futures? Will they ever be able to move past the mistakes that each of them made? Only time will tell...

White Wedding - Marriage Ceremony between Eldrid & Kirumi
[location- Taitō City]
To say she was nervous was an understatement- Kirumi didn’t even have the words to describe what she was feeling right now.
She never thought in a million years that Eldrid would ever feel the same way for her- it all felt like a dream come true after that fateful night at the stadium.
After they started dating, Kirumi made a habit of going to every MMA fight Eldrid was in- always in the front row cheering on the woman she grew to love so damn much!
It was after one of those matches…Kirumi decided to pop the question.
Aiko had been the one to push her to buy the ring. He relented when she finally did buy a ring, opting to give her a friendly pat on the back as they walked out of the jewelry shop.
“you got this- there’s no way she’d say no”
He was right- she didn’t say no.
The proposal wasn’t anything grand or spectacular- it was fairly simple to avoid Kirumi getting cold feet.
On a cool autumn evening in a small Takatsuki bar…Kirumi got down on one knee and asked the question that would change both of their lives.
All those events led up to right now, the day that the two were to be wed.
Yukiko: Ki-chan you look stunning
Her brothers fiancé was her maid of honor- really she was one of the first people to find out about the wedding even happening.
Kirumi:A-Ah Yu-san…thank you
Dressed from head to toe in pure white- she practically glowed! Part of her wondered how Eldrid felt about all of this…she hadn’t seen the Viking at all today.
[In her own wedding room, Eldrid was practically a bundle of nerves. Though she told herself she wasn't nervous, she knew that she was lying, both to her friends and herself. She had been in multiple MMA matches, fought tons of opponents stronger than her, once stared death in the face, and hadn't been scared once.]
[Yet, the thought of actually marrying someone was turning her nerves inside out. She loved Kirumi; really, she did. Though she didn't particularly care for her company (i.e. Ryoko), she still accepted them. But when she recalled how Kirumi had brought her to a secret place in Takatsuki that no one but her knew about it, and got down on one knee with a ring in her hand asking for her hand in marriage, well... suffice to say Eldrid was shocked.]
[Of course, she accepted. Why wouldn't she? A lifetime of happiness with a girl who makes her happy, far happier than any other woman the MMA champion had ever been with? She'd be a fool to refuse! As soon as she got home that night, she revealed the news to her siblings, as well as her teammates. Needless to say, all of them were overjoyed and happy for her.]
[Word soon spread throughout the cities of Taitō, Takatsuki, and soon the rest of Japan. The MMA World Heavyweight champion was actually getting married! The news spread like wildfire. Eldrid groaned when she was hit by reporters the following week. It didn't help that they also went after her friends and family, and those of Kirumi's as well. Eldrid remembered her love complaining about how she had been hounded by cameramen and reporters every time she or her brother stepped outside, which prompted Eldrid and Aiko both to threaten anyone who came within 10 feet of Kirumi with a camera. How did all this happen you ask?]
[Apparently, Eldrid's loudmouthed older brother had spilled the beans, and now almost everyone and their mother knew about her and Kirumi's love and marriage. Because of how popular she was, only a select few people were allowed inside the church. Only Eldrid's and Kirumi's family and closest friends were allowed to be present. Everyone else was going to have to wait outside or watch it on T.V.]
[The wedding date was set, and now, here she was, sitting in her waiting room until the ceremony started. She hadn't seen her soon-to-be wife all day, which annoyed her. Why was it necessary to keep the groom and bride separate on their wedding day anyway? She sighed as she looked at herself in the mirror again. She was literally dressed to the nines in a spectacular suit her brothers and friends had chosen for her. Truthfully, she was glad. She never cared much for dresses, even when she was young. She much preferred pants and a shirt over a blouse or a dress any day.]
[She was brought out of her thoughts as the door to her room was knocked, and looked as her younger brother, Yuma, walked in, wearing a suit of his own. He had asked (more like, begged Eldrid) to be the 'Best Man' at the wedding. Surprisingly, he did a fair amount of job putting everything together, though Eldrid knew he was exhausted with all the work he had to do to prepare for the wedding.]
Yuma: *Smiling at his older sister* It's almost time, Big Sis? You ready?
Eldrid: *Sighs* I'd be lying if I said 'yes'.
Yuma: *Still smiling* Feeling nervous?
Eldrid: *Sighs again* Is it that obvious?
Yuma: Pretty much. *Reaches up to touch his big sister's shoulders* You'll be fine, big sis. I've met Kirumi, and she's a lovely and beautiful girl. You two will make each other very happy.
Eldrid: *Smiles at her younger bro, rubbing his head* Thanks, little bro.
Yuma: *Smiles* You ready now?
Eldrid: *Sighs again, but smiling this time* Yeah, I think so.
Yuma: Great, see you out there!
[The groom looked as her younger brother scampered out of the room. Looking back at the mirror, the MMA champion inhaled and exhaled one last time, before looking back at herself with a look of determination. Slapping both sides of her face, which she normally did before a big fight, the MMA champion smiled to herself and turned around to the entrance.]
Eldrid: Let's do this!
[Opening the door, the MMA champion walked out of the room to the recession, ignoring the huge ringing in her ears with each step she took. She wondered if Kirumi was feeling the same way...]
[Back in her own room Kirumi mentally prepared herself. Her brother had arrived moments prior to escort Kirumi to the recession in place of her father]
Aiko:You good sis?
[Kirumi nodded slowly]
Kirumi: Just…a bit nervous that’s all *she giggled* It all feels like a dream…still can’t believe I’m getting married before you!
[Aiko let’s out a laugh as they both head out to join the recession]
Aiko:Wedding planning isn’t my forte and I’m pretty sure Yuki is having a debate with someone over our own wedding cake…but don’t worry about me!
[He smiles]
Aiko:This is your special day…I’ve never been more happy for you
Kirumi:T-thank you Ai-kun!
[It felt like the walk to the aisle took ages- in reality it was only a few minutes. Kirumi wanted nothing more than to immediately run to Eldrid and give her a big hug…but she instead made her way down the aisle like she was expected to]
[Parting ways with Aiko…she took her place beside Eldrid. A bright smile on her face as she did so]
Kirumi:*whispering* You look stunning
[Eldrid sighed as she was standing by the altar with the priest, eagerly, yet still patiently waiting for her bride-to-be. There weren't many priests these days that usually would oversee a gay marriage. The fact that so many people had issues with people of the same sex getting married made her roll her eyes. What difference does it make when two people are in love?]
[Eldrid snapped out of her thoughts as she saw the doors to the building open and through them was Aiko who was walking beside his sister, his family, and Kirumi, draped in pure white as the wedding gown obscured her facial features. Normally, this was usually the father's position, but since he wasn't present, Aiko gladly took over the role. Everyone's face had a smile with a few tears rolling down as the bride walked slowly forward. Even stubborn and stoic Ryoko had a passive look on her face, as even she couldn't deny how happy and sincere her friend looked.]
[Upon reaching the altar, Aiko smiled at both the bride and groom before he took his seat on the first row. Lifting the veil from her face, Eldrid took sight of her lover's face. A small blush appeared on her cheeks as Kirumi complimented her. The two then turned their attention to the priest who began speaking.]
Priest: We are all gathered here today to celebrate the momentous and joyous occasion of two lovers who have decided to take the final leap of love as they cement their adoration and care for each other and become one. For there is no greater amount of force in this world than that of two people who love and care for each other so much that they would dedicate their time to making sure each other is happy.
Priest: *Looks to Eldrid* Do you, Ms. Eldrid Iwasaki, take Ms. Kirumi Mayeda as your lawfully-wedded wife, and vow to love and protect her in all that you do, until death do you part?
Eldrid: *Takes a deep breath, smiling* I do.
Priest: *Looks at Kirumi* And do you, Ms. Kirumi Mayeda, take Ms. Eldrid Iwasaki as your lawfully-wedded spouse, and vow to love and protect her in all that you do, until death do you part?
[It all felt like a dream- the wedding she always wanted ever since she was a little girl. For the longest time, she was terrified of the prospect of even falling in love…after all she watched her own family slowly tear itself apart! Sure, Aiko tried his best to keep her out of the way of harm but he couldn’t be there for everything!]
[Sure there was going to be a long road to recovery for the voice actress- life hadn’t been kind to her! When Eldrid came along…she made the bad days more bearable. She made Kirumi feel loved and accepted…but most importantly she made Kirumi want to improve herself. The MMA fighter made her want to break out of her shell and express herself instead of bottling her emotions up]
Kirumi: I do.
[She looked back to Eldrid with a look of pure adoration and a huge smile to go along with it. For a moment it seemed like the whole world disappeared…like it was just the two of them standing on the altar]
Priest: *Smiling at the two* With the approval of these two loving souls, the union is now complete. The two of you are now one, and so shall your lives be. I now pronounce the both of you as a couple. *Looks to Eldrid* You may now kiss your bride.
Eldrid: *Smiles* With pleasure.
[Placing her left hand on the chin of her new wife, the MMA champion leaned down and gave a romantic and passionate kiss to the younger Mayeda sibling on the lips, causing everyone in the building to clap loudly and passionately. After a second or two, Eldrid released her wife, and looked out at the crowd, as everyone was clapping. She saw her brothers, all three with tears in their eyes, happy for their only sister.]
[Leaning down, she placed one of her hands on Kirumi's back and the other on the back of her legs, scooping her up in a bridal position.]
Eldrid: *Looks at Kirumi* This is what we're supposed to do, right?
[Not waiting for an answer, Eldrid carried her new wife away from the altar and down the walkway as everyone in attendance continued cheering for the two of them.]
[Everyone could probably see how Kirumi’s face was redder than a tomato right now. Carefully she wrapped her arms around Eldrid to support herself as her new wife carried her away from the altar as the crowd looked on and cheered]
[She looked up at Eldrid with a big smile on her face before she whispered something]
Kirumi: I love you Eldrid.

Yuriko's Thoughts on Takatsuki Division
Tumblr media
Ryoko Minamoto
“I don't like her. For one she is a member of Chuohku and anyone who is a part of them automatically gets on my bad side. A place you don't want to be. Second, she betrayed the Alaire Sisters and sent them back to their egg donor. I don't like betrayers for personal reasons.  She should be aware of the danger she is in right now. I’m having to hold back both Kaoru and Kanra from going over to Takatsuki and attacking her. However, the minute she steps into Edogawa I’m letting go. Let's see how Ryoko deals with Kaoru’s genius and Kanra’s strength.”
Aiko Mayeda
“I haven't met Aiko-san. He seems to be a respectable person at least. Even if his work as a DJ isn't really my cup of tea. I do wonder how he ended up in a team with Ryoko. I’m surprised considering her attitude that no one would want to team up with her.”
Kirumi Mayeda
“Aiko-san’s younger sister. Kaoru and Kanra are big fans of her work so I’m aware of her otherwise I wouldn't know who she is. She seems like a nice person. Much like with her older brother I wonder why she’s working with Ryoko.”
Shattered Moon
“Ryoko aside the Mayeda siblings seem alright. I will have to apologize if we go against them in DRB though. Kaoru and Kanra want a piece of their leader. I promised them that if they stayed out of Takatsuki that they could at least fight Ryoko in the DRB. Aiko-san and Kirumi are sadly going to be collateral damage in that carnage.”

Kaori's Thoughts on Takatsuki Division
Tumblr media
Ryoko Minamoto
"I... don't deal with Ryoko-san much, even though we're both part of Chuohku. The few times I've dealt with her, I always try to avoid her because... she has a bad habit of making me and others around her feel bad with her domineering behavior. I often see her in the company of Arisa-san, and I always try to avoid her, as well. Arisa-san, by herself, is bad enough. But together with Ryoko-san, I... it's just too much too handle. I'm thankful for Mei-san and Lillian-san for being there to help."
Aiko Mayeda
"I've never met Aiko-san, unfortunately. He works as a... DJ, is it? His music is drastically different from mine. Plus... nightclubs are too... loud and close for my taste."
Kirumi Mayeda
"Kirumi-san... I met her once on a movie set, though our interaction was brief. I was set to play a piece for an emotional scene. My... gift brought everyone in attendance to tears, Kirumi-san included." Kaori sighs. "Somedays... it is hard to tell whether this 'gift' of mine is really a 'gift' and not a..." The pianist stops and simply looks down, sighing as she clenches both her fists.
Shattered Moon
"I find the moon to be quite beautiful, especially on starless nights. It was often the only friend I had back when I was a..." Kaori hugs herself as memories from the past flood her mind, before she manages to calm herself down, preventing a panic attack.
"...Anyway, I've little to say about this team that won't sound offensive, so I'll avoid saying anything at all. I only... hope that Ryoko-san treasures her teammates before she loses them... like I lost everything..."

Saji's Thoughts on Takatsuki Division
Tumblr media
Ryoko Minamoto
"You know, it's not often I talk badly about another woman, which I hate to do. But this woman may be the exception to that rule. I had the unfortunate pleasure of meeting her one day while Kanade-chan and I were walking home from class. I could tell by Kanade's demeanor that this woman was trouble. ...And I was right.
"She started talking shit about Kanade-chan and her sister, Lana. Before she could go further, I threw a punch at her that narrowly missed her face. I glared at her and told her to get lost. Fortunately, she got the memo, and left. Later, Kanade explained about who saw was. Knowing she was working for Chuohku was bad enough, but when Kana revealed she betrayed her and her sister, that automatically put her in my bad book.
"I'll say this now: if I see her anywhere in Meguro, she's dead meat. And I mean that."
Aiko Mayeda
"I remember this guy. He apparently works as a DJ, playing music at nightclubs. Yeong is a good friend of his, so we often have to do our jobs at clubs where he's working. I try to skip those jobs if possible. Nightclubs and I do not mix... at all."
Kirumi Mayeda
"She's the only one from this team I haven't met yet. But apparently, she's the DJ's younger sister. She seems nice, but I don't really know much about her to say anything."
Shattered Moon
"'Shattered Moon', huh? ...You know, dogs actually revere the moon, believe it or not. It brings out something in them, a feral side that they often keep dormant. They have no respect of person, and go wild at anything and everything in their sights. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, trust me, it is a sight to behold.
"So fair warning to Ryoko and her friends: if they don't want to see what a dog is like under a full moon, they'll stay far away from Meguro as they can."

Shuu’s Thoughts on Takatsuki Division
Tumblr media
Ryoko Minamoto
“Ryuko, Ryoko, Ryuko, Ryoko! Isn’t it funny how our team leaders’ names rhyme? You could probably make a really tough tongue twister if you threw in the Sendai leader’s name in too!”
“Ryoko is a lot smarter than my dumb leader though. A computer programmer with part of her brain replaced by robo parts? That’s one way to show how dedicated you are to your job! If she was the main character to an anime, she would be something like… A magical robot girl! Only her personality wouldn’t fit the role. I heard she has a nasty attitude towards people.”
Aiko Mayeda
“A cool, mysterious man… Isn’t that just appealing? His girlfriend is so lucky to have found this guy as a partner!”
“I’ve only seen and heard his voice at Nova once or twice. I’m in and around that nightclub for work purposes, so I haven’t had a chance to really spin my web of connections into that place. I’m not too interested either. Nova isn’t my kind of place to go to on my days off.”
Kirumi Mayeda
“Ah, Mayeda so… Aiko-chan’s sister! And she’s a voice actor, right? I wonder if I’ve heard her voice in something before. Oh, what’s the chance Ryuko has met her? Ryuko has talked about the voice actors and actresses that come to his work before, so there might be a chance!”
Shattered Moon
“What did the moon do to deserve getting shattered? The moon is like, important to the earth so it would be horrible if someone destroyed it. I wonder why they picked that name… Ah, but even if I couldn’t even think about shattering the moon, I bet we can crush this Shattered Moon group into even tinier pieces!”

Yano’s Thoughts on Takatsuki Division
Tumblr media
Ryoko Minamoto
“Oh her… Sorry, I never met her since she can be pretty reclusive, but at the same time, I don’t think I should meet her because everything that everyone says about her makes her sound like some kind of demon!”
Aiko Mayeda
“Hey, it’s rabbit guy. Aiko Mayeda huh… Weird how a bunch of the people who buy my stuff are competing. Makes it kind of awkward for me… But hey! From that one time we got to meet, he seems pretty cool! I hope his girlfriend liked the rabbit though. I made a ton of glass animals when I was having trouble making new projects and I was worried some of them didn’t turn out too good.”
Kirumi Mayeda
“A Mayeda sister? Then again I suppose the two of them came to the studio’s shop together. Kirumi is a cute name though! Actually… It says she’s another voice actor so I wonder if maybe I’ve heard her before. Another excuse to binge some anime I guess!”
Shattered Moon
“This is a pretty neat lineup of people. I’m not really a fan of Takatsuki as a place to go to, but I might have to go there anyway to say hi to the Mayeda siblings! Maybe not Ryoko… Although I’m not against fighting her. Hopefully, she can excuse my crying throughout it.”

Nikki's Thoughts on Takatsuki Division (Redux)
Tumblr media
Aiko Mayeda
"The DJ's taken control of Takatsuki Division... I'll admit, when I heard from Criss that Ryoko, the original leader, had died, I wasn't shocked, only surprised that it had taken so long. It's still unknown how she had passed. It may have had something to do with the robot parts in her brain finally shutting down, or someone may have done the deed themselves. In any case, it'll be interesting to see how he handles the leadership roll."
Kirumi Mayeda
"I met Kirumi recently, though we didn't talk long. Apparently, she was doing one of the voices for an RPG game that the developers wanted me to do an alpha test on. She seemed happy, which is good, I guess."
Yukiko "Yuki" Sakura
"The newest member of the Takatsuki team. I know Keiko doesn't care for her because she previously worked in the adult film industry, along with her mom, which means absolutely nothing to me. It doesn't matter what you did or what you currently do. All that matters when you step in the stadium is how good you can rap. Hopefully Keiko realizes that when we face them."
Fractured Eclipse
"...Honestly, I don't have much to say about this team. I won't say Ryoko left big shoes for Aiko to fill considering this team lost every battle they had. But it will be interesting to see if that changes now that he is the leader. ...I'm not holding my breathe though."

Kira's Thoughts on Takatsuki Division
Tumblr media
Ryoko Minamoto
"Argh, this woman. I never thought I'd find a woman more pretentious than Kadenokoji-san. I've often seen her throughout Chuohku barking orders at people. She once tried to pull that stunt on me until she found out my position. Then she backed off. I heard from some of my peers that she does this to everyone. Apparently, she's just a computer programmer, so where does she get it in her head that she has the gall to tell anyone what to do?"
"If it wasn't for the fact that I've seen her type before during my time in the army, I'd not have bothered with her. But I've seen her for what she is: she has low self-esteem and is afraid to approach people for fear of them rejecting her. It's a dumb way to live, but it is what it is. I've tried my best to approach her, but my rank may have scared her. Oh well, I'll keep trying, I guess. I don't want us to be enemies. We both work for Chuohku. And in this place, friends are a rarity."
Aiko Mayeda
"Sorry, but I don't really know much about this guy other than the fact that's he a DJ. Nightclubs aren't really my scene. Far too loud and noisy. If I ever go to one, it's because of my job, or because Taria dragged me to one. Of course, if she ever did, I was most likely drunk at the time."
"What I have heard about the guy is that he used to spend some time in the JMSDF. If that's true, I oughta have a talk with him about his experiences there. We could swap war stories."
Kirumi Mayeda
"She's the DJ's younger sister? Hmm. She seems nice. Like her brother, I don't really know much about her though. I hear she works as a voice actress. If so, I'll have to find out what shows or movies she's been on."
Shattered Moon
"I don't think this team is too bad. Yeah, Ryoko can be a bit of a female dog, but like I mentioned, I chalk that up to low self-esteem issues. The brother and sister seem nice too. From what I heard though, they haven't been doing too well in the D.R.B. That sucks. Hope they win at least one match in the future. ...Just as long as it isn't against us."
