I'll post tonight after running


Kasuke Mina


Mina found Yozakura-san's room, and entered it with a tray full of Japanese hospital food, and quite good quality too! "I told them one of the patients has a quirk that needs to eat a lot and they gave me all of this without any questions. It should get you feeling a little more lucid" She set the tray down besides Donny, and had a quick look at Yozakura-san. Mina did not know who this girl was, her quirk, or anything about her other than that she had seen her around. It was callous, but as long as she recovered in health and mind, Mina didn't really want to know anymore. She wasn't interested.

"Motome-san came and told a group of us, though she was pretty vague about the attacks themselves. That's actually what I came for, besides making sure everybody was ok. I wanted to know more about these attacks. I-"

Mina was cut off from audible raised voices oming from down the hall that definitely belonged to a girl. I could be Kaida, but there was one that sounded younger. Mina sighed, muttered "Nani?", and stood up. "I'm sorry, Donny. I need to go and see what all this fuss is about. In the meantime, eat up."

Mina ventured from Yozakura's room to Kaida's room, and entered the doorway just in time to see Kaida hugging Jett. No, this all seemed fine. There wasn't anything wrong and Mina had no reason to be here. She should leave. But she couldn't. She could leave things the way they were. She entered the room, slipped right past Ruby and Roy, and got close enough to Jett and Kaida that they coul both clearly see her. Lady Mode, don't fail me now.

"Kaida! Are you okay? I heard there was an attack! What happened?"

Maeda Hitomi


"Then they get backup from other qualified Heroes," Hitomi answered for Acion, and was about to go into more detail when Tomoe fainted and bashed her head against the desk. Hitomi rushed to her side, though not as fast as Acion, who asked if she had a handkerchief. Hitomi nodded and took one out of her pocket, applying it to the bleeding wound.

"It doesn't look life-threatening but it's still a little more serious than a band-aid job. If I hold the handkerchief firmly in place, can you carry her?"

Oh, I am definitely letting Titanica and Vara post first. This is gonna be fun!




A @Silver Carrot & @Silent Observer collab
Featuring: Gib-Gab & Rif-Raf
Location: Captain Cuddles
Time: Friday, After school




Gabriela Garcia arrived at the arcade a few minutes early, and waved goodbye to her mom who had dropped her off. Daniela Garcia had gotten several stares in the process from the arcade-goers, some of whom swore they recognised her from the inlays of her fantasy novels. Others were staring just because she was something of a raven-haired beauty. Either way, Dani had quickly made her exit to stop drawing attention to her embarrassed daughter.

Gab herself wasn’t as eye-catching, even with her makeup and pretty features. She was short, with dyed blonde hair, a leather jacket and a denim skirt, below which were leggings that were laddered and hole-filled when she bought them, and black boots. She was the kind of gamer girl you wouldn’t bat an eye passing in a West Coast arcade.

She looked around as she waited for Raf, hoping he wasn’t too late. Dreamland had been a lot of fun two nights ago. Gab and Raf didn’t talk much. They didn’t really need too. They had spent all night playing co-op games together and having a laugh. It was a chilled, relaxed atmosphere, even more so than the taco meetup a night prior, and she’d had a lot of fun. So much that she’d suggested they hit the arcade together one day, and Raf replied that he was free tonight. She joked at the time that it was kind of a date, but...it kind of was.

Rafael was excited. He had a date with a pretty blonde girl, there would be pizza, and there would be vintage arcade games. If he played his cards right, he could probably super impress her by beating his own high score in Ms. Pac Man. He’d been trying to beat that score for a while now anyway. With his goals for the night in mind, Riff skated down the sidewalk on his bright green penny board. He was sober (a rarity) and had one earbud in as he listened to music and enjoyed the weather on his way to Captain Cuddle’s.

Apparently, he had taken a bit longer than he thought in his skating through town, because Gabriela was already standing outside the arcade. Hopefully he hadn’t upset her, he couldn’t be too late. Her outfit was grungy in that cute kind of way and Riff admired it as he put a foot down on the sidewalk and kicked his board up into his hand. He strapped the board to his backpack as he walked over to his date. “Hey GibGab, ‘sup?”

Gabriella was secretly elated that she had been called GibGab by anyone. That it was Raf was a bonus. She smiled brightly at him and brushed some stray hair from her face. “Hey, RifRaf,” she answered, almost giggling the words out, “I’ve never been on a date before, but I know how to game, so shall we? You’re looking cool, by the way.”

Raf looked down at what he was wearing, having forgotten his outfit entirely. It wasn’t something he had spent too much time planning, just his usual band shirt, skinny jeans, and skater shoe combo. “Oh, thanks!” He replied with a wide grin. “You look good too, I like the, uh, tights.” Riff nodded, yeah, he was pretty sure that’s what those were called, his sisters wore them too… but like, with less holes in them. He liked them with the holes more, he decided. “So, I know Toad is your fave Mario Kart driver, but this place has the classics, so what’s your favorite arcade game?”

“Thanks!” Gab cheerily replied, liking the compliment and determined not to make this date awkward for a second by force of sheer cheeriness. She had to think about her favourite arcade game for a second, though. “Of all time, House Of The Dead 2, but if we’re just looking at the classics, then….I’d have to say Gauntlet. I like a challenge, even if that equates to more money in an arcade. That’s why I usually find a version I can play at home, and practice there. So, what’s yours?”

“House Of The Dead 2! Right on! I love plinking zombies. They have that one here, we’ll have to partner up and fight the hordes.” Riff flashed a flirtatious grin her way. People might think Raf was a dumb kid, and they weren’t necessary wrong, but he wasn’t romantically inept. Farm from it, actually, he had some innate roguish charm that scored him a few hookups in his past. But, this was different, this was unfamiliar territory. He was pretty sure that he liked Gabby, like, liked her liked her. “My favorite is a super classic, Pac Man. I’ve been holding onto the high score on the Ms. Pac Man machine here for like six months, A Dubs is always on my tail to take it back, though… So, you ever been here before?” Rafael asked as they stepped in through the front doors. The delicious aroma of pizza and fried goodness, like onion rings and mozz sticks, greeted their noses. There was even the ambience of arcade games being played, which was unusual, given that Ty usually kept the door to the back room closed. “Oh, word, they’re keeping the door propped now. That’s less obstacles between food and games.” Riff mused aloud.

Gab, despite being a social butterfly and not that bad looking, had no former hookups to speak of. Because of her lifestyle choices and hobbies in elementary and middle school, whenever she wasn’t spending nights alone, she spent them with people who hadn’t the social confidence to ask her out, even if they wanted to (and a few of them probably did). Raf was the first time a boy had ever told her, without a hint of bashfulness, that they thought she was cute. Whatever it was that she had with Raf, she didn’t want to lose it. In fact, when he shot her that grin, she was the bashful one, looking away with a small smile and a sudden flush of color to her cheeks.

“No,” she replied, not wanting to change the subject away from the unspoken conversation but not brave enough to address it yet, “I’ve never been to this arcade before. I haven’t had many free evenings since I got here, and when I do, I usually game alone. Used to play at the arcade all the time in Arcadia. Heh. That pun wasn’t on purpose.” Determined not to let that, of all things, cause and awkward silence, she soldiered on. “I don’t think I’ve ever set a high score, though, but then again, I’ve never tried. That’s it. That’s my goal for tonight. I’m gonna get a high score in something!”

“Arcade in Arcadia, heh…” Riff responded with a token stoner’s giggle. He was easy to amuse for the most part. “Well, you don’t have to game alone anymore!” Whether that would be interpreted as another gamer pick up line, or a confirmation that she was officially a bonafide part of the burner crew, would be up to Gabriella. But to Rafael, both things were true. “Since you’ve never been, here’s the crash course on Captain Cuddle’s. That—” Raf pointed towards the food counter, “Is where you get the best pizza of your life, I swear on it. And back there—” He pointed through the propped open door, “Is where you are going to earn your first ever high score in House Of The Dead 2. So, you hungry, or do you want to start off the night gaming?” As they walked through the dining room of Captain Cuddle’s, it could be noted that Riff had his hand softly against the small of Gabby’s back as he guided her around.

Gab didn’t see ‘won’t have to game alone anymore’ as a pick-up line. It was already true. Even if nothing came of Gib-Gab and Rif-Raf romantically, they were going to become best friends as a worst case scenario. She noted the hand on her back but didn’t even address it yet, let alone make any move to change things. She actually liked acting like a couple with Raf. It was relaxed. Gab had heard all the cliches about dating and how it was stressful and awkward. She didn’t get any of that with Raf. He was too chill a person to get stressed about and she was too positive a person to get stressed easily.

She looked to the food court, then looked to the propped open door. “Hmmm, I’d say food first. That way we don’t have to take a break from the gaming later. Plus I know that you can’t focus on anything but food when you’re hungry. I’ve only met you three times before this and I already know that,” She stated with an impish smile and a cheeky nudge to the side.

Rafael grinned at that very accurate accusation. “I mean… you’re not wrong. You got me!” He held his hand up in mock surrender and laughed. He took a moment to browse the menu, not because he needed to, but because he wanted to give Gab some time to look it over. “My recommendation is the pizza bar special. The pizza is as endless as you want it to be, as long as you aren’t too picky about toppings, it’s the best value.” He nodded as if he was a real mathematician. Hell, when it came to food, maybe he could be! “And it comes with the staple sides, like onion rings and mozz sticks and some kind of potatoey treat. Salad too, but who needs that kind of negativity in their life?”

Gab was going to legitimately read the menu, but upon the mention of endless pizza, she immediately put it down. “Okay, you’ve sold me. That sounds amazing. I’ll even eat the salad. I don’t care. I actually like salad. What kinda pizzas do they do here? Is there a good selection? I mean, even if it’s just cheese, or pepperoni, I’m still super down.”

“All kinds, dude. One of the chefs is super creative and is always putting out new combinations, so you get a wide variety. There's almost always a plain option too, though.” Raf responded as they walked up to the register. The cashier recognized him and greeted him accordingly. Riff paid for both of their buffet costs, because Mamá taught him that's what gentlemen do on dates. “So you like video games, and computer stuff… you even made your own game, right? What else do you like doing?” He asked Gab as he used a spatula to pull a cheesy slice of Hawaiian pizza off the buffet pan, and put it onto his plate.

“What else? Um...I write, I suppose. Nothing really serious. I’ll never be an author like my mom, or anything, but it’s fun,” replied Gab as she picked a slice of pizza without even looking. It was meat feast. “What about you? I mean, I know you’re a mean Mario Karter, but what else do you do?”

“Oh, word? Your mom’s an author? Like… what kind of books?” Riff asked before taking a bite of the first of many slices of pizza that would be consumed that night. He remembered to chew with his mouth closed and swallow before talking, trying his hardest to be polite. It could be pretty hard, ya know? “Me? I uh, like art and music. Digital stuff, like the kind of art and music you can do with computer programs. But, like you said, not really serious…” Raf said with a shrug. It wasn’t very serious yet, at least.

Gab shrugged too, and gave Raf a smile. “That’s what high school’s for. If we haven’t figured the next step out when we’re 18, we’re in trouble, but now? I’m not gonna sweat it. May as well enjoy myself till then. And yeah. My mom writes fantasy novels. The Westermount series. Her name’s Daniela Garcia, but it was Daniela Johnson when she started them.” she explained, gauging Raf’s reaction to see whether he’d heard of them, but Gab doubted he would have. He didn’t seem an avid reader unless the book was online.

She doubted him right, Raf didn’t have a clue. “I pretty much only read comics ‘n stuff, unless I have to for school, so I don’t recognize her. That’s really cool though, I don’t think I’ve ever met an author in real life…” He looked a little dazed out for a moment. “... unless maybe I have, and I just didn’t know. You know? Guess it’s pretty silly to think they’re all shut ins like that one movie… uhh…” He mentally ran through the filing cabinets of movie knowledge stored in between the grooves of his brain. “Secret Window! That’s it. Yeah, can’t all be that crazy!” Riff proudly chomped down another slice of pizza, pleased that he remembered something, for once!

Gab giggled and shook her head, as she grabbed another slice of pizza. “Nah, my mom’s pretty normal. She’s something of a socialite and likes going to meet and greets, and signings. She keeps telling me that she was a cripplingly shy shut-in recluse for all of her teenage years, actually, but I just can’t buy it. I’ve seen pictures. If she was here, she’d be turning heads. What does your family do?”

“My parents?” Rif asked. His family’s professions weren’t glamorous by any means, but he was too chill to let that embarrass him. Plus, they were hard working and loving, and no kid could ask for more than that. If they did, they were a douche. And douches aren’t chill. “My Mamá’s a housekeeper, mostly works for the Hemsleys. And Papá does landscaping for… whoever needs it around here, I guess. He runs a company for it. Then, besides my rents and siblings, the rest of the family lives in Tijuana.”

“Ooh!” Gab replied, interested. “I wonder if they know my dad. Brian Garcia. He’s a bit of a jack of all trades, but primarily an electrician. I’m fairly sure he’s done gardening at some point, though.” Gab put the crust of her third slice of pizza back on the plate. “I think I might be eating this pizza too fast,” she explained, to justify her behaviour.

“Nah, it’s totally hot, don’t worry about it.” Raf said with a smirk. He liked a girl that wasn’t afraid to eat, especially on a first date. There was one thing sticking out to him, though… “Are you not going to eat your crust?”

The wording stuck out to Gab. When they say ‘are you not going to eat that?’ then it means they want you to eat it. It’s when they say ‘are you going to eat that’, that they want to eat it themselves. Gab was inwardly screaming and squeeing at the fact that the food-obsessed Raf was looking out for her in his own way, and she picked the crust back up, even though she still felt that she had rushed the pizza and perhaps didn’t have room for this yet. She did not want to let Raf down! He called her ‘hot’! There’s no way she could leave this crust after that!

“Of course I am,” she tutted with an eyeroll, before eating it slowly, trying to hide that she was almost forcing it. After consuming the whole crust, she turned to the bar and asked, still with a mouthful of pizza crust and no moisture, for a large glass of water.

“Good, it's the best part!” He grinned. “I like to dip mine in hot sauce.” Riff explained before doing just that, finishing off his fourth? Fifth? However many-th slice. “Shall we make our way to the games now?

“Hell yeah!” answered Gab with a fist pump, as she downed her water in one, left the glass on the bar, and followed Raf into the arcade proper. “I’ve gotta get me a high score today!”


"More or less..." Muttered Eilidh under her breath with an air of doubt, as she followed Gina through the town, unfortunately having to pass the sights, sounds and smells of the 'more or less married' couples. After a while she had to stop and rest against a wall, panting, with a heavy blush on her face.

"Yes, please refrain from putting anything suspicious in my food, unless it's a sedatrive or a tranquilliser. Just walking through these streets is more aphrodisiac than a Centaur's senses can handle. The sooner we get somewhere I can sit down, drink a pint of water and take a bracing cold shower, the better."

The talk of the job between Titanica, Gina, and Bast was a welcome distraction, and Eilidh listened as she struggled along. The talk did not last very long, though, and Bast consulted Eilidh on her next move. "Oh, well, I'm hungry and in need of rest, but if at all possible, I would like to continue our Journey today, so we will not be needing a room. That is, unless everybody else would rather stay the night and carry on the journey tomorrow. In the meantime, yes. A calming walk does sound rather nice right now. Just...don't even so much as hold my hand until we're out of the streets and my senses are fully cleared of these sounds and sights. I am not jesting."

I too shall be posting this weekend. Rather busy with college




A @Silver Carrot & @Bee collab
Featuring: Charity Spencer & Lauren Townsend
Location: A Cafe in Beverly Hills
Time: Friday, After school




So, the Townsend Twins were back...kinda.

Although it’d be a few more days before they were back at BHHS, Lauren figured it was best to grab lunch with one of her friends first. A week had been a long time apparently, and based on what she’d witnessed upon her return to social media, there had been a lot that went down in her absence. Luckily, Charity Spencer had been gracious enough to accept an invitation for some lunch. Not like it was a date or anything like that, it was just to catch and get some insight into the inner workings of BHHS. Her best friend, Ophelia, was nowhere to be seen anyway. Lauren was bummed.

Currently, Lauren was sitting at her table, waiting for Charity to arrive so that they could get their lunch started. Hopefully this would go well. She was looking forward to catching up with an old friend.

Charity arrived a minute or so later, and waved as she weaved her way through the occupied chairs to Lauren’s table, before sitting down opposite Lauren. ”Sorry I’m a little late,” she excused. ”My sister had to go and meet somebody at a park today for some reason, so I walked here. Anyway, welcome back to BHHS!”

”It’s okay, but thank you!” Lauren smiled. ”So… what’s new at BHHS? I heard a lot of shit has gone down… y’know? The social media is a little busy lately, y’know?” Lauren and Charity received a couple of menus in the meantime as they waited for Charity’s response. Hopefully the food was actually good.

”I thought you might ask about this, so I brought a copy with me,” Charity replied, before taking a copy of Jamie’s article from her handbag and giving it to Lauren. ”The short version is that Jamie wrote that article, blowing the whistle on some HOT girl shenanigans. He puts it better than I could so I’ll let that article break the news to you.” Charity then started looking at her own menu whilst Lauren read the article.

Looking at the article, Lauren’s eyes widened. This… this had come across as a shock to her. So as it turned out, her best friends were up to no good. The entire thing with Trixie had been a sham. They had been bamboozled! Putting the article down, the twin pointed at it. ”So- you’re telling me that.. Trixie had made the entire thing up? I should’ve fucking known!’ Lauren got a few glances from a couple of Nosy Nancies as she cursed.

”How could she?”

”The way I see it, Trixie was played like everybody else. It was Hailey and Ophelia that were behind this. Trixie just made the mistake of trusting her friends over her boyfriend. Not that she’s without blame in this affair, nor is Owen for that matter,, but their sins were mild compared to those of Queen Bee and her lackey. It’s times like this where I honestly get really sick of this school and wonder how I could possibly help make things better.”

”I haven’t even talked to Ophelia in a long time… I can’t believe she was a part of it!” Lauren frowned, before putting the paper down. ”All of this in one week… oh my god.” Lauren rubbed her temples. ”I need to talk to Ophelia. I- there’s no way that this is actually happening. This is just- you know what? Why don’t we just order lunch. Why don’t we do that instead?”

”Good idea,” Replied Charity as she put down her menu. She had been reading it during the conversation and had decided what she was going to eat long ago. ”I think i’ll just have the vegetable soup. I can never finish big lunches. So, while all hell was breaking loose at school, what have you been up to?”

”Oh, psh. It’s been real messy in the Townsend family this past week.” Lauren waved her hand, giggling. ”I think my dad caught my mom fucking around with some really shady shit - including cheating on him and embezzling his funds, so he filed for divorce and stashed us somewhere for like a week before the security company came through and the restraining order was approved. Heavy stuff.” Lauren forgot the true reason she was here though, ”I think I’ll have the club sandwich.”

Charity looked up and stared at Lauren for a few seconds. It was so much pity she was showing, as sorrow. ”I’m so sorry to hear that. Are you okay, though?” she asked, before a waiter came over to ask for their orders. Her focus was on Lauren the whole time.

”Yeah I’m fine. Why wouldn’t I be? Mom was being shady. Not my problem.” Lauren shrugged, before the waiter came over. The waiter made his obligatory greetings and put a pen on his little order pad. ”I will have the club sandwich and an iced tea, please.” The waiter scribbled the order on his little pad, before turning to Charity for her order.

”I’ll have the vegetable soup, please, and a glass of water,” she responded to the waiter, before turning back to Lauren. Charity, ever the journalist, could sniff a gap a mile away. ”I’m just saying. If there was any trouble between my parents, I most definitely would not be okay. Let’s move on, then. Any interesting developments for the future that you know about? For somebody who works at the paper, I don’t really keep up with gossip.”

”I don’t really know what’s up. Like I’ve said I haven’t been around for a week. There’s probably a whole bunch of shit that went down that I don’t know about. All I’ve been caring about was just making sure my mom didn’t pull any more shady shit near us.” Lauren shrugged. It was hard to worry about petty high school drama and occurrences when you were being kept away from your mother in a house that she didn’t know about. It was like something out of a cheesy action movie -- only that it was actually real life. Luckily, that was behind her now. ”What about you, though? What’s new with ya?”

Charity thought for a second, and her brow visibly furrowed. ”I can’t tell you much because it’s a delicate situation I’m in the process of handling, but one of my friends is in a tricky spot and needs my help dealing with some...bad person,” Charity clearly bit back a swear word when talking about this mystery individual. ”Other than that, I’m going to write a piece on Nero Frost’s new band, which my sister is probably going to make the cut for.”

Bad situation? What was Charity talking about? Lauren was intrigued, and she really wanted to press more but she wasn’t sure if it was her place to do so. Lauren’s brows closed in together as she thought long and hard. She decided to go for it anyway. ”Who’s this “bad person”? Maybe I know something about them and I can help your friend out?”

Charity looked conflicted as she weighed her options carefully, before leaning in closer. ”It’s Trent from the football team, but you have to keep this a secret, and if you don’t know him, forget it all and don’t get involved. I don’t know what he has over my friend but I suspect blackmail may be involved.””
”Trent?” Lauren’s eyes narrowed once again, ”You realize who my brother is, right? He can take care of him if you need him to, especially if he finds out the situation.”

”Yes, but I don’t know what he’s blackmailing my friend with. I want to make absolutely sure that Trent can’t expose anything she wouldn’t want him to, before I do anything about this. That’s why I said it’s a delicate situation.”

[color=7bcdc8][b]”Maybe my brother knows something? He should be back with the team today. He might just persuade it out of Trent or something.”[/color][/b] Lauren shrugged, ”If there’s anything I can do to help, let me know.”

”I’m going to try myself first, at church, and if he won’t give it up to a fellow evangelical, a fellow football player may be the best chance. I’ll ask you and your brother for help if it comes to that.” Charity replied, keeping one eye out for their food as she wanted this conversation to move on sooner rather than later. Somebody might hear them.

”I hope the best happens.” Lauren smiled, before backing away and watching their food come. Her club sandwich looked great, and so did Charity’s soup. Charity confirmed this by not really stopping once she started. It helped that she was quite hungry, but the soup was indeed delicious. For the time it took to eat sandwich and soup, both their troubles were temporarily forgotten.
I have to go now but if there are slots when I get back, i'll join.
Is this still open?


The Shrine of Eros. The last time Eilidh was here, she didn't kill a single person. An evil man is alive today who shouldn't be. The beauty she could see around her was tarnished, tainted by the bittersweet sting of failure and internal confusion. She didn't feel like she did the right thing when she struck down that Wizard, giving in to her own rage and bloodlust. She didn't feel like she did the right thing when she let the Archwizard escape in this very Town in a selfish attempt to be a good person. It was beautiful, though, she had to admit. Though, the locals were...unashamedly candid tonight. Eilidh tried to shut out the sights, sounds and scents as a bright blush grew on her face and she kept her eyes forward and rooted to the floor.

Gina was less than pleased to see Bast and Eilidh, and that was understandable, but she was still polite and accomodating. Eilidh responded respectfully with a bow. "There's nothing to forgive. We are all relieved to report that we are not here primarily on business. And, uh...we are all hungry and weary for we have travelled, but food and rest is....all we will be needing in terms of hospitality. I cannot speak for my companions but Centaur customs are very strict on what you can and cannot do before marriage."
