[ Transcribed in Japanese ]

Uwah... how pretty. The policemen came and put these in the houses today. Who would have thought such things existed! It appears to be able to talk, even if it looks like a book!

[ Transcription in english ]

Hello. I am Ranmaru. I am from Japan.

Thank you to the Policemen-san for giving this to Ranmaru and the people of the colony!

What is this for anyway?

---

comments?

Matt-san, truly it is not wise to try striking one who is injured with a pillow even if I deserved it!

Ah. This person's arm has healed well. But, it appears there is no means to travel, is there.. Ranmaru wishes to see his friends! Mou.

Sephiroth-san? Thank you.. for everything. This person appreciates all you have done..

Yukina-chan? Reeve-san? Sol-nii? Axl-nii? Zelos-san? Anji-san, Chipp-san, Zack-san? This person is wondering how you are..

Light..

Mitsuhide-sama..?

Wh-where am I..?

My arm is..



[ooc; Just because. Sephy can rescue him, or anyone who was kind enough to nurse him back to health. His left arm is injured, so. :D No swordfighty for Ran. And he's still allowing people to stay in the Orchid Palace. Go wild!]

Well-set match, Dracula-san..

My arm.. it hurts.. but this person must not be weak, not right now..

...

[Connection Terminated]




[ooc; Ran's unconscious! And hurting 'cause Dracula broke his arm in the fight. He's gonna sleep right through fourth wave. XD HE HAS OWIIIIIES. ]

This person cannot sit around and do nothing, yet it would be cowardly to die and leave others to fend for themselves.

Everyone is suffering again, and this city is in a torpor. Friends are segregated and enemies given reign.

This has never been paradise.

But there is no way I shall let that trap my friends any longer!

Father of the Vampire Hunter D! I take your challenge. Even if I can rid this city of one of you, there will be a lesser chance of this evil growing!!



[ooc; Ran's in gung-ho mood. FIGHT TIEEM! D: ... justwantedtogethimactiveagaindon'tkillme. ;-;]

..ugh.. stomach.. hurts..

How.. many did this person have..?

H-Happy New Year..?





[ooc; SUPER DUPER HANGOVER. :D]

A-CHOO!!!

...


...


Uh-oh. It's.. looks like Ranmaru's been in the cold too long..

Uwahh.. Ranmaru's been sleeping too much!

Ah.. Mitsuhide-sama does sleep in a lot. Perhaps he is unwell? No matter, Ranmaru will do whatever needs to be done. Matt.. are you alright now? Ranmaru worries for you..

My Lady Okuni.. words are not enough for how grateful this person is.. it will be an honor to play the flute for you again.

Ranmaru should make some tea now!





( OOC )

... Sephiroth-san...

... why..?!

Ranmarucan'tbreathe..this is.. this is..

NO!! Please.. Please no..




RANMARU CAN'T BE ALONE AGAIN!!!




[ooc; Overdramatic, but within reason. :3 He's too shocked to say anything, but managed to get Sephiroth to safety. He's alive, of course-- but... DUNDUNDUN... the rest will be revealed! Don't expect coherent responses from Ranmaru right now, he's just suffered a huge loss. :D]

Ranmaru can't bear to watch it anymore. That.. prosecutor is killing him.

...

Nobunaga-sama.. there's.. ah. Ranmaru promised to help Sephiroth-san in a task. Would you like me to get you anything when I return? This is really upsetting me and being in your company does comfort me.

It's sad that this has to happen to the good people.

Ranmaru got lost today.. and wandered into the darker sections of this entertainment district. It was strange there. But there was a kind person who paid Ranmaru for dressing up and helped Ranmaru out! Then this person gave Ranmaru.. an invitation to give to 'interested parties'.



Hmm. Ranmaru can't read that.. but the picture's come out nice!


They told Ranmaru to return in the evening.. Ranmaru'd better go return the outfit.

Wonder if Nobunaga-sama will want this..




[ooc; Image of Kaoru from Palace of Stars! And.. you guessed it. A muted version of it is coming to Vertere's District of Pleasures! Beware pretties! You might be scouted. This is Rosiel's idea I promise. Ahem.]

Uwaa.. Ranmaru wasn't expecting when Reeve-san called last night, Ranmaru would have that much to clean, but it was a worthy work-out..

Thankfully Ranmaru made it back in time to deliver breakfast to Mitsuhide-sama and in return to do the same for Nobunaga-sama..

Ranmaru thinks he's going to end up not sleeping again..

( [Private//Hackable;] )

Sama.. Ranmaru wishes you were here. If you could meet Sesshoumaru-san too..

...

Today is.. Oh! Today is Sephiroth-san's--

.. Sol-san.. and.. oh Axl-aniue, where are you..

Ranmaru can't focus. This is annoying.

Ah, the tea!!!

Nobunaga-sama! Mitsuhide-sama! There is an associate of Ranmaru's who will like to meet you to discuss your swords! Is it alright if Ranmaru invites him tomorrow? He is looking for the most powerful opponent to defeat! So Ranmaru suggested Nobunaga-sama and complimented his Lord's power in taming the demon sword!

... Ranmaru woke up in the mansion of the Shinra in Reeve-san's bed.... Ranmaru is sorry for not returning, Nobunaga-sama..

.. Ranmaru feels bad now, for suggesting a mouse to Chihaya-san and then.. becoming part cat and.. being as curious as he was, with Matt-san and Nobunaga-sama and Reeve-san.. please forgive Ranmaru's insolence..

What.. happened to Johnny-san..?

Ranmaru found a cute little duck today! Her name is Ahiru-ko, and she is very pretty. Ranmaru returned her home..

.. mm. Ranmaru has work to do..

A-Anou.. Ranmaru is certain such was not the appearance of the cat-costume Ranmaru got with Chihaya-san to match with his mouse outfit..

( Yet somehow, Ranmaru feels the need to groom.. )

.. suddenly this person has a craving for well-creamed milk..

Mew..




[ooc; YESIKNOWTHEDRAWINGSUCKSQUIET. DX And.. Ranmaru is now gaining catlike tendencies. This will not bode well for fangirls. :3]

To the dearest, prettiest friend this person could ever have~!





Ranmaru didn't forget, Bridget-kun! Otanjoubi Omedetou, Kirei Bridget-kun~! Ranmaru did his best to make sure it turned out as pretty as Bridget-kun himself~~

Heh.. Now to make one for Johnny-san and another for Sephiroth-san.. Ranmaru must keep his spirits high~!

Why Reeve-san..? It's not fair.. Reeve-san would never cause anyone harm, Ranmaru is certain! First Cait-kun, then..

... Ranmaru protests. Ranmaru protests strongly against this! This isn't right, or fair! Surely anyone can see that this is a ploy to cover up for something?! They may be giving him a trial, but they might fix it to suit their needs!

Ranmaru doesn't believe in such justice! Where is the evidence? This is too cruel!

..! Ah.. S..Samanosuke..? Please forgive Ranmaru for needing to bother you to carry when Ranmaru fell asleep..

How embarassing..

And.. Mitsuhide-sama is now in the Police force! Ranmaru is so proud! And Nobunaga-sama is here too.. it is so content now that both Ranmaru's Lords are here.

.. The Palace does not seem so empty now.. it is nice.

Mitsuhide-sama, I wish you all the best. Prepare well.. and may success come your way.

This Police Force may be our voice..

There are many new ones here. I recall there was a wonderful person who was handing out flowers to everyone.. Ranmaru is very grateful.

We are not marred from trying to do good deeds. Bringing a smile to one's face is the best deed ever! Kagami-kun, Yazoo-kun.. why don't we walk the city and greet the newcomers?

And perhaps, throw another party? The last one was such a success. Everyone should come again.

Kayura-san looks to be better, which is relieving.


But this emptiness in my chest.. how unnerving.

Was that it..? Was that.. what everything came down to..?

Ah, the losses faced by a warrior are stronger than many..










[ooc; Ranmaru's not in his right mind. Stress has finally done him in and he's exhausted. Plus, Riku's gone and he's lamenting because he's kinda hurt. Whee. SOMEONEMAKEHIMLAUGH. >(]

Kayura-san..

( [Private//Unhackable] )



Please let her have some peace now. Please.



She will be fine.

She has to be..



[ooc; Psst, Asanji, want Ranmaru to have taken care of her? He's so shaken that this might have happened on the night he invited everyone!]

[Transmitted to all the allies in Vertere]



( [Private//Unhackable] )





[ooc; HOKAY. This is an open to EVERY ALLY event. Not official, small scale. Since I'm in absolute pain, feel free to start logs or threads or mention if your character decides to visit (it's nothing set). Ranmaru's intention, is only to get enough people together, break the awkward moods and have a calm social gathering. That, and there will be a pretty show of stars tonight. He doesn't know that yet, though, so it should be a pleasant little surprise of hope~! Just so people's moods start lifting.

Plus, he's cooking. :D]

Yazoo-kun.. I'll wait for you at the orchid gardens.

How is everyone doing now..?

THIS was the man who wished to challenge my Lord..?

It does not feel right..

By the sword of Bishamonten, the other was POWERLESS! Absolutely..

.. so cruel..

This is not my fight.. I know this..

But that man, who lost his eye.. I..

Who was he..? What did he DO?

( [Filtered from Avatars//Kadmon//Viewable to Allies] )



[ooc; Ranmaru is feeling under the weather because of everyone's confusion and sadness. ;-; ]

Whatever this thing is, it shall not harm those dear to this person.

What is going ON?!

It looks like people are returning to normal!

This makes Ranmaru happy.

I get better and Mitsuhide-sama gets sick..

Thankfully he is no longer in the hopital. So I brought him home with me. I'm not sure I liked what they were doing to him..

He is improving, but Ranmaru is afraid..

He needs the air of home. I wish..

I apologise for my silence.. once I returned, I felt rather ill and had to practice to work off all that pizza.

I wonder where everyone is..

.. This city seems familiar..

But...



Why are there strange ninja kappa here?!

They know how to talk~!

...

By Bishamonten's blade..

Um. Yazoo-kun, Lucifer-san, Kagami-kun, Mitsuhide-sama.. p-please forgive any untoward behavior that I may have displayed towards yourselves why am I so SORE?!

Riku-kun..

..

... I'm sorry. I'm a bad friend..



[ooc; He's feeling bad that he hit on everyone. T^T and just wants to go get whacked by his buddy. :D]

...

..oh.

That.. should not have occurred..


Yet I am happy..


♥


[ooc; must you ask? :D]

Ranmaru is beginning to wonder if it is wise to step out at the moment, though things seem to be fine for the most part..

...

Everyone is alright, are they not..?

I think I hurt my arm.. it must be broken.

So I have made my second visit back after making sure Mitsuhide-sama is well, and to welcome Sanosuke-san here.

Roxas-kun, Kagami-kun, there is a strangeness in the air. Please tread warily.

All of you, please be safe.. Riku-kun? What is this party of which you speak? There seems to be too much commotion here to have one, do you not agree?

Zelos-san has been most friendly and Gil-san's health is, I hope, in improvement.

..!!!

BEASTS!! Everyone-- they are--

..?!!?!?

Mitsuhide-sama! We're here! Samanosuke-san and Yazoo-kun are here-- and Megumi-san and it looks like she has a friend too.. we are allowed in still, are we not?


I hope you are not asleep..


This person with Megumi-san is dressed like Yazoo-kun..

How on earth did this happen?!

I was heading to the Notre Dame Cathedral, as promised to Samanosuke-san and now ..

How did HE get stuck with me?!



[ooc; Blaming the random portals for this, Donna-love! :3]

.. this is..

This is pathetic..

Where have I ended up now..?

!!!

Kagami-kun! Reno-san!! Are any of you here?! Something has happened and I cannot recognise my surroundings!

And I have not heard hide nor hair of Roxas-kun either..

Something has happened.. something that was like the second wave..

Riku-kun.. please be safe!

( [Letter to Riku] )

Kagami-kun, Roxas-kun, Reno-san. Now that the city is recovering, shall we all go out together?

I would like to see this place again, as it was.

I don't want to lose hope again.

Kagami-kun cannot win pillow-fights.

And he will not be allowed near chips again!

I am with Kagami-kun at the moment. He was dripping -wet- when he returned but we shall soon be heading out to help the people.

I cannot begin to fathom why such things are occuring. Galen-san has been abducted and I just -saw- her. I should have remained.. but I am certai Riku-kun and his friends will succeed.

I have a battle that is owed to me and I shall fight it once all these people are helped. It is at most, what I can do.

Roxas-kun.. I hope you are safe.

I ran into Galen-san earlier.. (There is a llama that speaks in her home! I ran out before it saw me, though, but I wonder if she did anything wrong to be cursed with such a wailing beast..). I hope she doesn't have the sickness after waking up, though I suppose the tea I made should have helped.

Kagami-kun, I am at the Dorchester. I shall be with you shortly, these metal carriages have been stopped due to 'street flooding' I am told. And I also have a suspicion as to who was the cause of this destruction and may the heavens have mercy on the one that sent her for he will not be forgiven.

Eye of the Storm. This felt like a warning..

.. something's coming. Why would he suddenly decide to harm those close to him as well..?

That Demyx-san.. he was so frightened..

Kagami-kun is in trouble, Mitsuhide-sama has gone to.. find Samanosuke. I should have told him this wasn't the same person..

London.. it was where it all began for me. A barbarian's land, but a beginning nonetheless.. it worries me to think..

Nobunaga-sama.. I do not want to leave you alone, but this is a matter of honor for me.. I wish to aid these who came into my camaraderie when I was in need of them. May I trust you with protecting yourself as your Ranmaru battles those that need to be taken into oblivion?

Riku-kun.. I want to go there and help them.

I hope Ohime-sama is alright. My Lord's men must have reached her by now.

( [Private//Hackable] )</font>

Minnasan, please wait for us. Once permission is given, Ranmaru's blade shall fly for battle once again.

Eh.. I mistook someone for Riku-kun's and Roxas-kun's friend Axel-san..

He'sabitunawareaboutpersonalspacebutIsupposeit'salright..

But, Reno-san's nice! He is a part of a flock of Turkeys that are sent from the Gods! And I just found out Riku-kun's here! I wonder how he is..

.. I wonder what that commotion is about.. the parade isn't even going on right now..

... what in the name of Inari..

Nobunaga-sama..? Um.. Anou..

.. we never did this for the movie? Then how did it get into it??



And.. and I know the script said to hold each other but.. huh?



How come I don't remember any of this?

At least it's over, but..





[ooc; Because I'm lazy and have no time, IMAGINE THEY ARE PROMOTIONAL MOVIE IMAGES FOR THE MOVIE 'NOBUNAGA'!!. :D]

My Lords and I were offered a tour into the Kingdom of the Land of Disney today.

It was most pleasing and I wished My Lady Oichi could have seen it too. It was filled with creatures from those tales that we would often read to each other in our younger years. A talking mouse, Princesses in strange and beautiful dresses.. ah, so many splendid fireworks lighting the sky over a strange castle..

I have also watched many movies! Some with vam.. paias and werewolves! Riku-kun, you must be careful in New York. Most of these creatures seem to attack only those in this Kingdom of New York.

The movie I am being camera'd in is near to completion. We simply had to behave how we were.. My Lord Nobunaga made many important battle decisions with men who resembled Lord Tokugawa and Lord Nagamasa.. but they were not them. It was upsetting in a way, but not intolerable. I must say it is somewhat fun. Lord Mitsuhide seems to be well-favored amongst the ladies..

One day perhaps, Kagami-kun and Megumi-san and Johnny-san and Axl-aniue will be able to come here and see this Magical Kingdom of Disney too. As well as.. all my other companions.

Now I will try and rest. The moon is pleasant.

I hope My Lord Nobunaga and Lord Mitsuhide are enjoying the dealings with these movie-creators. I wonder how things shall turn out..





[ooc; *dies* "Nobunaga the Movie" for Interim will be made by Disney. FREE DISNEY PASSES FROM THE LEADING TRIO!*shot* yes, I'm mad... and naturally, it's not real but PRETEND IT WILL BE. Heehee. And it will be an awesome movie too because they wont even be acting, they're THE REAL DEAL! Uh, yeah. Bwahahahaha. Craaazy crack for all!]

Apon my arrival in this place called Topanga Beach, I was picked up by my Lord Nobunaga accompanied by a rather brusque lot calling themselves Hell's Angels (though they looked nothing like Angels, I must confess..) and within moments of that, found Lord Mitsuhide. We have now entered a place called Hollywood where a shogun was to be, but apparently this Shogun wishes to form an alliance with My Lord Nobunaga and offered him 'A Movee'. I do not know what this is, but he claimed it brought fame and glory and fortune. It will be called "Nobunaga", this Movee.

I hope my Lord chooses wisely.

Due to this, though, we have been given residence in quarters that resemble those of when I was in London. Fortunately I do not have to take care of that baby that Hell's Angel woman wished for me to take care of anymore. It was drooling all over the keyboard whilst I spoke to Riku-kun.

Mitsuhide-sama, I implore you, don't do that again.

Is everyone else alright? I miss you all.. Johnny-san, Axl-Aniue, Megumi-san..

Riku-kun..

I have found Oichi-hime here. It is most pleasing to know my Lady and old friend lives. And I have also made a new friend in the form of Kagami-kun. :) I hope he is safe where is and that we may meet soon.

I should return to my Lords. It is almost time for Nobunaga-sama's tea.

[ooc; With reference to Xehanort's ooc note, Ranmaru and Mitsuhide have been flung out of Castle Oblivion. Jane, we need to find a time to do that HUG! ;-; Now we'll backlog it, mmkay? Do be sure to continue posting here! I think Mitsuhide and Roxas can make their appearance. :D]

.. what just..

ROXAS. Oh, Holy Inari, Holy Bishamonten, Roxas..

..I'd.. no.. He'd just smiled. I'm sorry, Roxas..

I couldn't save another, yet again..

Mitsuhide-sama.. where have you ended up now..?

It's too brigh..--


Nobu.. naga-sama..

.ldcm//

She just..

.. wow.

Megumi-san's bleeding by the shoulder and fighting off monsters..

....

.. it's frightening how she's managing without a weapon.

Something's happening outside. Heartless have started moving infront of the dungeon. One materialised outside the bars, followed by many others, yet not all could enter the chamber. My trusted Tomonari cut them down, but..

.. why have they started moving..?

I swear in the name of Fujin and Inari, of Bishamonten's blade, if he believes he can destroy us in here, I will show him the true fury of a warrior of the Mori.

They've stopped.. for now.

I must protect Axl-aniue ..

I wonder what's going on..
