That's actually not too far off.

Now if SOMEONE would post so I can continue soloing this dungeon.

EDIT: Going to update to dungeon boss fairly soon. X, prepare yourself.


Aye Aye Captain. Done on my end.
Just finished a doozy of a post.
Akane Hanazawa // Manor Of Creation

Waking up, she was overcome with an intense headache, particularly in the back of her head where she was struck. Reminded of that incident, she whipped her head around but no one was there. It was too dark to make out anything beyond her, but she had a creeping feeling she was being watched. Someone has to be there, lurking about in the darkness. No doubt in that it was her kidnappers. Probably enjoying her current state. "I know you're there, show yourself!" she shouted into the dark.

While there was a response, it wasn't quite what she was expecting. Instead of the sounds of an approaching figure, she was met with a wild, if not crazed, cackle inside her head. "The ones you seek are not there, for it is only we, or shall I say 'I'?" As the 'voice' began talking, Akane continued to search for the one behind the voice, not yet willing to conclude she gone crazy upon hearing her own voice. "Who are you? What are you?" she demanded, only to be met with another laugh.

"Who am I? I'm sure you can tell. Who else has the same voice as you? Don't want to believe it? You can look and look and you still won't find anyone else here. I'm you, to be correct, I'm what you try to pretend doesn't exist, your true self."

"Whoever you are, if you plan to continue using my voice, you could at least tell a better joke. I may be considered odd, but I'm surely not crazy. Honestly, my true self? As if you know anything about me or what I'm like."

Feigning a sigh, the voice continues. "Of course I do, you are me and I am you. Who else would know you better than me? Hell, I know you better than you do, only natural really. Well, let me enlighten you. Selfish, Calculating, Cruel and to top it all off, you're all Alone.... That's what you truly are like."

"As I thought, you don't know anything. You can hardly call someone who helps others selfish and cruel, honestly, what's selfish and cruel about saving others? And just what exactly have I done that would be considered calculating? Setting that aside, I'm far from alone."

"My oh my, did you seriously say all that with a straight face? I'm impressed that you even believed all of that! Though, it's quite sad that you can say all that and not understand why. Poor poor Akane, going around playing hero actually still thinking she's there to 'save'. When are you going to realize that you can't save anyone? For 'me' do drop the act, it's really not convincing."

Getting annoyed. "Act? What act? It's no act. This is who I am, I help people who are in need. I have saved countless people! I'm not playing at anything---!" she nearly shouted before restraining herself.

Laughing, "And this is where the 'Selfish' bit comes in. Honestly, did anyone literally ask you to save them? Did they say 'Akane, please help me.'? No? Wake up, you and I both know you're unfit to save anyone. Surely you haven't forgotten about all about little 'ole Tatsumi already?"

"..." Just as she was about to raise her voice to speak, as soon as the voice uttered that name, she froze.

"Can I take that silence to mean that it's starting to come back to you? About the time we decided to play hero and the fact we nearly killed him? Seriously Akane, whether he was a bully or not, wasn't that going a bit too far?"

"I...I... d-didn't m...." stuttering as she trailed off as memories of that day started coming back at full force. Grabbing her head, her eyes grew wide. All she wanted to do was save her classmate from a notorious bully...She didn't mean to keep swinging...It's...It's just that when she started hitting him, something....something in her snapped, she was overcome with this strange feeling and couldn't stop herself. She wasn't trying to kill him.

"Aren't heroes supposed to make things better and not worse? Not to mention someone who couldn't fight back anymore! Forget about being the hero, you seemed more like a villain to me!"

"It..." Wasn't my fault, she tried to say outloud but couldn't. Why couldn't she? It was an accident right, things like that just happened, right? "I'm......no villain....Saved....He-" she began mumbling.

"Hero....Just how much longer are you going to keep this up? Please...All you are is a copy - a fake, trying to be someone else."

"I'm no Fake! I am me and no one else!" She yelled, seemingly finding her words again as her anger grows.

"Oh? So you're not trying to be just like big brother? Come now, be serious. You saw how he swooped in to save you, like he always does, and you thought you'd just try it out, huh?"

Hearing the mention of Akito, she stiffened. Akito.... he was always saving her from something and that night....that night....she owes him everything..."Shut....Shut up..." Clenching her fists....

"And this is where the rest comes in. It's all just to please yourself, to make yourself feel better, as if doing so will allow you to atone for what you did and be like brother. You're just a brute that uses the act of 'saving' as an excuse to fuel your real desire to fight, which is something considering your fear of repeating that tragedy..."

"I said....Shut....the hell....up!!! We may share the same voice and the same memories, but let's get one thing straight, You...are not me!" she yelled back, not noticing that a group of people, including Rui were watching.

It was then things grew quiet. As if she said the magic words, Akane fell to her knees and gripped her head harder than before as she was subjected with an unimaginable pain, a splitting pain. It was as if...as if there was something....something inside her that wanted out. Soon she'd find herself being unable to move her body, like it wasn't hers anymore.
Yeah you wait until we reach the boss area.

After School

"Well, given time constraints it couldn't be helped last time. Let's see..." as she flipped another page, he leaned in pointing to one of the characters, informing her that was the problem. "So that's what it was....Tomboy princess, huh? It's true that tomboy characters are girls who dress and sometimes act like a male but in this case, there isn't a shred of girlish behavior err femininity while tomboys usually have a little. Black Lagoon's 'Revy' is a great example. Throughout the majority of the story there's basically no trace of it but then it slowly starts to appear, especially during the 'Gangsta Paradise' Arc. Though, that really doesn't mean anything in regards to a 'tomboy' character because it depends on the story or setting of your character."

"Take Balalaika (also from Black Lagoon) for example. Was there any trace of femininity there? Of course not, one would break into laughter using that word to describe her. Unless you actually want her to be charming and Lady like, you should draw her as you see fit. If not, If you're really having trouble with it, find yourself a 'model' for her, Alexai. What I mean is, find someone, whether in real life or another medium, and Model the character after them. All authors, especially mangakas, model the characters, whether its the hero, heroine or supporting character, after someone they've known or encountered at some point in their lifetimes. Especially if its someone they love(d) dearly, which the usually do in regards to the hero(ine)s."

Pausing for a moment as she reclined back and stretched a bit, she continued, "Having said that, if that's no good and you're still having trouble and wanting me to draw, I'll--" Gladly do it, she meant to say before she was cut off by the school's PA System that called for her to report to the faculty room. She was quite caught off guard and confused by it, wondering what the teachers may want with her but then it hit her. The Mall. That had to be it. She thought before freezing. Crap, got to relaxed and forgot.

Given the silence and how things kind of went on normally, she forgot about the likelihood of the school finding out about it. Well, that's what she thought before coming back but didn't take them long to act. Well duh, Warakuma isn't exactly a big place, so it wasn't going to take long. Especially with the students gossiping about it nonstop. She was given detention for it but today she got too relaxed, forgetting, and ended up reporting to the Manga Room instead.

Standing up, she turned to the others. "Sorry about this, looks like I'll have to cut things short for today. Looks like i've got a long day ahead of me..." she sighed. "We'll have to continue this another time." she smiled as she held up her hand and bid farewell as she left the room.




Akane Hanazawa // Warakuma // On The Way Home
Thursday, May 7th, 2015

Talk about tiring, she thought as she relaxed her shoulders. "At least it's over with now." As she proceeded down the street, she heard a noise from behind her. Footsteps. Normally that wouldn't be strange considering this was a street and all but when there was practically no one within a mile radius and all of a sudden there was footsteps coming from behind you, getting louder and louder. She started to think whether she was simply imagining it considering how it normally was with her.

Hmm, turning the corner she picked up her pace before hearing the footsteps pick up their pace as well and from the sounds of it, more seemed to have join in on it. "Someone wanting revenge? Maybe its... Looks like they still haven't learned their lesson after what happened at the amusement park." she grinned, under the assumption that the ones following her were Kenji Miura and his lackeys. After humiliating him in front of everyone at the rear gate of the school and then at the amusement park, they did swear that they'd 'get her back'. Was this it?

Ducking in an alley around another corner, she waited for them to get closer and when they passed by, she jumped out and attacked them. Kicking one in the back of the knee, causing him to collapse on the ground, she stomped on his legs again. As she moved in for the finishing blow the man grabbed her by the leg with a vicious grip before she slammed something hard she found in the alley on his head and knocked him out. That grip....theres no way they buffed up in that short of a time, and they were wearing masks....why would they hide their faces now? It cant be them... Just as she was about to pull the guys mask off the other two found out and attacked.

Well, after a hard fought battle, she prevailed and managed to pulled the masks off and didn't recognize who they were. Her feeling was spot on as the ones behind the masks weren't Miura and his goons but totally different people. She was thinking it was someone out for revenge but its not even that, she never seen these people before. If it was someone she went after, she'd have known their faces.... Not given anymore time to think on it, more masked people came after her. Not sure what's going on, she turned corner upon corner trying to lose them. Just when she felt she finally did, she was trapped.

In what would normally be a 10-15 walk home, she found herself running all over the place before losing track of her surroundings. Surrounded by masked figures, along with the 3 figures she attacked before, she froze. But I defeated them.... Wait, the news....that cult....don't tell me... Having remembered the strange events occurring lately..."Like hell I'll let you!" With no other option, she attacked. Managing to bring a few down, she was eventually overwhelmed and beaten. As she layed there defeated, she heard a strange laughter before things went black.
With Haru and DR having posted, will finish it up and write the abduction post.
Going to need to infuse some activity here. Who here isn't on the Skype chat yet? We talk a lot over there.


I believe Acer and Flood are the only ones that aren't in the skype group.
