Haitch 1805 cr points 15 / over here, over t... | Full Moons Only Happen When The Plot Is Ready To Get Going, So Pay Attention! The full moon shone brilliantly against the dark sky, casting dark shadows across the face of the man staring up at it, a glint of longing shining in his single eye along with the silver reflection. Takasugi let out a puff of smoke from his kiseru, leaning back against the wall of his room. They were the ones who wanted to hold the meeting tonight... why aren't they here yet?, he thought in annoyance. His soldiers could be incompetent idiots, but he couldn't bring himself to hate them... and they usually proved helpful at the end of the day. He felt his gaze drawn back to to moon, which seemed almost to big to be true, like it was in an anime or something. He almost felt as though he could reach out and touch it, but he didn't dare to try because he knew it was much farther away than it looked, like many of the things he wished for. But his soliloquy was cut short when he heard footsteps approaching in the hallway... |

In the back wall, there he stood.... the man he swore allegiance to.... the man whose purpose has a melody like no other "Shinsuke, forgive me for being late-gozaru. That assignment you gave us took a little longer than I thought it would" He stood in front of Takasugi Shinsuke, the man behind the Kiheitai. A man surrounded by mystery. But this is why he stuck by him.... he has yet to hear the full song this man has to offer "Takechi and Matako will be here soon" He chuckles a little "Honestly..... I can't read what you have in mind with this-gozaru" |

He paused to exhale another cloud of smoke, shifting into a more comfortable position.When he finally spoke again, it was in a more confident voice. "Bansai, I know you understand completely what I have in mind, whether you're willing to believe it or not. So, you've made the necessary preparations, then? I trust you won't let me down. A smile started to form at the corners of his mouth. |

SamMusic_... 68 cr points 20 / M | "Yare yare. There's that habit of yours again. Being able to read people, yet you yourself remain shrouded in mystery-gozaru" Sighs "All the preparations have been taken care of. They don't seem to be in the mood for anything much of these days however. With the Shisengumi around, it was not an easy task. Takechi and Matako seemed to have a hard time reading them. As a matter of fact, so did I. Their tune.... it was unlike anything I've ever heard. Almost a bit like yours" Hears some footsteps coming down the hall "It seems they are finally joining us-gozaru" |

Feminist-... 24 cr points 22 / M | A slightly flustered face "What do you mean we don't have time?! We shouldn't be focusing our efforts on those barbarians, we should instead be planning on how we will take down the Greater Edo Ordinance For The Healthy Development Of Yout......" Matako shoved her hand in his face to stop him from finishing his sentence for some reason |

TakasugiF... 83 cr points 19 / F / Ireland | She shoved her hand in his face to stop him from spewing his usual lolicon stuff "Uruse!" She notices Shinsuke-sama leaning on the back-wall of the room speaking to Bansai. She blushes a little as she runs up to him calling his name "Shinsuke-sama!!! I'm back! The mission was a success!" She fiddles with her thumbs as her cheeks grew slightly redder "Are you perhaps proud of me?" Her eyes sparkle as she waits for a response |

Haitch 1805 cr points 15 / over here, over t... | He didn't react to her enthusiasm at all, instead addressing her in his usual fashion, hiding his impatience behind a smirk as always. "Excellent, Matako. Your efforts have brought us closer to our goal. Everything seems to be proceeding according to plan, and we probably couldn't have done that without you." He turned to Takechi next, making his face into a mask of calmness to avoid showing his irritation. He often wondered why it was he put so much faith in these kinds of people. But the reverse was also true, they had no good reason to trust him either. "And your contribution won't be forgotten either. However," he glanced between the three faces before him to watch their reactions as he continued, "I can tell you haven't asked for a meeting right now simply to boast of your successes." He fixed his sharp gaze on Bansai, waiting for an answer. |

TakasugiF... 83 cr points 19 / F / Ireland | "T-thanks Shinsuke-sama" It wasn't quite what she wanted to hear. She quickly stepped aside and had an inner monologue ("Baka baka baka!!! How could I think that was enough to impress Shinsuke-sama?!") She clenches her fist and a fire burns in her eyes as she looks to the future for more chances to impress her beloved Shinsuke-sama ("Next time, next time I'll be sure to do something to gain his recognition!!!") She stands there daydreaming of how she'll be able to impress her Shinsuke-sama as the scene pans over to Takechi and Bansai |

Feminist-... 24 cr points 22 / M | Crosses his arms and in a more serious tone he begins to express his opinion "We have done some reckless things in the past, but this seems to be more than we can handle. The Kiheitai is simply not ready for something like this and involving ourselves with those people won't shift the odds in our favor. The Harusame 7th Squad is already suspicious of our intentions. Allying ourselves with that other group isn't going to help out our case either...What happens when the Harusame, and most importantly, that Captain of theirs finds out?" Looks at Shinsuke-dono with a serious look as if trying to figure him out "Just what is it that we are getting ourselves into?" |

Haitch 1805 cr points 15 / over here, over t... | Takasugi looked at the three serious faces in turn. They seemed genuinely concerned, much to his surprise. He sighed. Words of encouragement weren't exactly his forte, but he needed some way to convince them this would all work out. "Over our heads, you say? There's nothing to worry about. The Harusame, those guys, it doesn't matter. Every last one of them is under my-- our control. I've made a certain... agreement with them. It's surprising, how easy it is to use someone's intentions to your advantage. In their attempt to avoid being used and discarded, as they no doubt suspect, they have only performed even closer to what I had intended. Everything proceeds according to plan." He narrowed his eye thoughtfully. "However, there is one factor I failed to consider. An old... friend of mine, you might say... is still causing trouble. I had hoped our 'allies' would finally be able to deal with him, along with the Shinsengumi, but even they couldn't do that. Perhaps it is too much to ask of people." "... What am I getting myself into, you ask?" He looked down with a hard-to-read smile. "Nothing has changed. I'm only doing the same thing I've always done. If a few extra sacrifices must be made along the way, what difference does that make?" A high-pitched, unstable laugh rose from his throat, echoing in the dark room. "After all, I won't quit... until I've dragged this entire world down to Hell with me!" END OF STORY |

NientedeNada 2969 cr points 30 / F / Canada | Takasugi Shinsuke's Private Quarters There is a small package on the window sill. It is still unopened and in fact it runs a very high risk of being dropped into Edo Bay. It was hand-delivered to the Kiheitai by the Vice-Commander of the Mimawarigumi, Imai Nobume herself. And given the pains taken to put it safely in Takasugi's hands, you might expect he would be quick to unwrap it, eager to see what his ally considered so important. But he hasn't touched it yet. If Takasugi does open the package, he will find a brand new cellphone. And waiting for him on the cell phone, he will find the following messages. Hey Shin-chan! Missing you here. (;_・) Sent you a new phone in case you lost the old one. We need to get together soon. ( 。0_・。)人(。・_\\ ) P.S. Don't be a stranger. And another one: Aww, haven't heard from you yet. ( ・◇・)? Nobume says she definitely gave your ppl the phone. P.S. How can we have donuts and tea ready for you if you don't say when you'll show up? (;_・) Followed by Just kidding! (⌒▽⌒ ) We can always entertain you, Shin-chan. Just don't bring that Yato boy with you. Hehe. The package buzzes once again. But what will its fate be? |
