Yamada Airport - 4:17pm
TW: Violence (Grabbing someone’s wrist)
Voicemail: 美沙子です、メッセージを残してください。(This is Misako, leave a message.)
*BEEP*
Kanako: みさちゃん? 私は...さようならを言うために呼んでいます。二度と会えないのなら、私があなたとママとパパを愛していることを知ってください。 それらを教えてください。(Misa-chan? I'm... I'm calling to say goodbye. If we never see each other again, just know that I love you, and Mom and Dad. Tell them.)
Kanako: みさちゃん、子供の頃に作ったコードを覚えてる? 私は差し迫った危険にさらされているので、それを使用する必要があるかもしれません。 「あじさいは逆境を通して美しく咲きます。」(Misa-chan, remember the code we made up as kids? I may need to use it because I am in imminent danger. "The Hydrangea blooms beautifully through adversity.")
Kidnapper: 急いで、叶子。 飛行機はもうすぐです。(Hurry up, Kanako. The plane is almost here.)
Kanako: *panicking* お願い、みさちゃん。 ママとパパに警告します。 広おじさんに警告します。 警察に警告します。(Please, Misa-chan. Warn mom and dad. Warn Uncle Hiro. Warn the police.)
*The kidnapper snatches the phone from Kanako and hangs up*
*Kanako begins to cry when she feels her arm being moved and grabbed onto, tightly*
Kidnapper: さあ行こう! 動く! (Let’s go! Move!)
Kanako: わかった! わかった!(Okay! Okay!)
Kidnapper: 警察に警告しようと何を考えていましたか? 私は誓う、小さな女の子、私はあなたを私と一緒に家に連れて帰り、あなたを殺すべきだった。(What were you thinking trying to alert the police? I swear, little girl, I should have taken you home with me and killed you.)
Kanako: ごめんなさい。(I’m sorry.)
Kidnapper: この飛行機に乗りなさい、あなたは雌犬です!(Get in this plane, you bitch!)
Eight Hours Later - Oasis Springs, New Nagara

Kidnapper: Jose-Luis Pacheco?
Kidnapper: I have your mail-order bride.
Kidnapper: Go on. State your name.
Kanako: My name... is... Sherri.
Jose-Luis: Sherri, huh? Lovely name. And by the looks of it, you’ll make the perfect third person for our throuple. Tan’jiro tells me you used to work as a barmaid in Awabeniyama, is that right?
Kanako: Y-yes.
Jose-Luis: Perfect. Mr. Takeda, you’re free to go. I’ll have the money ready for you in a week.
Tan’jiro: Good. Behave yourself, Sherri.
*Tan’jiro Takeda leaves the house*
Jose-Luis: Brooklynne will love you, Sherri. She’s been looking for someone for us the last few months. We’ll take great care of you.
Kanako: *thinking* みさちゃん、メッセージが届いたらいいなと思います。(Misa-chan, I hope you've gotten my message.)

Nine organizations from around the world on Monday renewed calls for El Salvador's government to drop "politically motivated charges" against the "Santa Marta Five" as the well-known water defenders prepared to stand trial beginning April 3.
Miguel Ángel Gámez, Alejandro Laínez García, Pedro Antonio Rivas Laínez, Teodoro Antonio Pacheco, and Saúl Agustín Rivas Ortega were arrested in January 2023 and accused of murdering an alleged military informant during a civil war over three decades ago. Rights groups worldwide have repeatedly highlighted that not only has the Salvadoran government failed to produce any proof of their guilt, but also the five men should be covered under a 1992 amnesty law related to the war.
"In the spirit of Saint Óscar Romero, these community leaders have embodied the legacy of the preferential option for the poor in their fight for justice and for the well-being of their communities," Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) senior adviser John Cavanagh said Monday, a day after the 44th anniversary of Romero's assassination in San Salvador.
"Now, we're calling for justice for the Santa Marta Five as they face politically motivated charges and attempts to silence their movement," added Cavanagh, whose group gave its 2009 Letelier-Moffitt Human Rights Award to the National Roundtable on Metals Mining, a coalition the arrested water defenders helped build.

‘Live at the Cheetah Vol. 1 & 2′: The Fania All-Stars’ Salsa Masterpiece
"Like any legendary record label worthy of its legacy, Fania Records was particularly attuned to both great music and savvy self-promotion. So when it initially assembled the cream of its late 1960s artist roster (Ray Barretto, Joe Bataan, Willie Colon, Larry Harlow, label co-founder Johnny Pacheco, et al.) to play a club date together as the Fania All-Stars, it was as much a celebration of the exciting sounds on New York City’s Latin music scene as a shrewd marketing exercise."

10 Best Carlos Pacheco Comic Books Ever
10 Best Carlos Pacheco Comic Books Ever
Legendary Spanish comic book artist Carlos Pacheco passed away yesterday, leaving behind an incredible legacy across Marvel and DC Comics. His kinetic and somewhat cartoony style proved a tonic to the hyper-extremism in the 1990s. MCU fans owe his work at Marvel, especially on Age of Ultron and Avengers Forever, a big debt as his contributions pay off massively in live-action.

Bumpass Residence - 12:40am
W: Nudity, Naughty Language
TW: R*pe, handcuffs
MTW: Captivity
If this bothers you, please do not read under the cut. If you want, DM me so I can summarize the post. Thank you.
*Branson brings Jose-Luis and Astrid back home from the strip club*
Jose-Luis: So, I get a crack at her when you’re done?
Branson: That’s what she’s here for. Ain’t Brooklynne gonna pissed at you if she finds out you fucked a stripper, though?
Jose-Luis: Bruh, she’s been a massive bitch the last few weeks. A change of pussy will be refreshing for me.
Branson: I’m pounding this piece of ass on camera! Whoo!
Astrid: *thinking* He’s gonna record himself r*ping me?! I gotta get out of here! Where are you, Dad?
________________________________________________________________
-Ten Minutes Later -
*The camera Branson mentioned is set to record*
Branson: *grunts*
*Astrid can only flash back to that day at home, while trying not to actively pay attention to what Branson is doing to her*
???: Hands up, Anderssen… or your daughter gets it!
PM Anderssen: Kelley! Please, put the gun down, and let my daughter go.
Agent Jacob Kelley: Ay, fuck you! You and the Imperial Family put a lot of pressure on me to reveal Giacono’s deception! You’re the cause of it, so, you’re going to die!
Astrid: Please, don’t shoot my dad! He didn’t do anything to you!
Agent Kelley: Shut up! Here’s what’s gonna happen, Anderssen. I’m taking your daughter… and you’ll never hear from her again.
Agent Kelley: There’s nothing more to talk about. You asked too many questions, Anderssen. Now, it’s time to repay your meddling with bullets.
Astrid: Daddy, run!
PM Anderssen: Look, Agent Kelley. Just put the gun down, let go of my daughter, and we can discuss this. Please.
Agent Kelley: Hejdå, Anderssen!
Astrid: DAD!!
*BANG*
Branson: *groaning* Oh! Fuck, Tawny! Oh, that feels so good!
*Branson climbs off Astrid and gets his boxers on*
Branson: I’ll be back down in a few minutes to take you to Luis. Stay there.
*Astrid, who’s now in complete and utter shock over what just happened to her, stares at the glass door, then sinks her head down and begins to cry*
Astrid: *sobbing* Where are you, Mom and Dad? Why aren’t you looking for me?

The 1990's were a very sparse period for our man Shang-Chi.
He had a return in Bleeding Black, a 1990 one shot written by Doug Moench that wrapped up the poisoning subplot that had been left dangling from his Marvel Comic Presents story. Here he is back in his old school costume for the cover, by David and Dan Day.
He co-stars with Moon Knight in this 1992 one-shot, another Moench story with two of his favorite heroes teaming up to deal with the wacky android Brynocki.
This cover by Jeff Albrecht and Art Nichols is very '90s, but Shang-Chi still has his 70's attire.
A year later (1993) he guested in a few issues of Captain America. Razorfist (III) shows up too, albeit briefly. Cover art by Rik Levins.
In 1994, he appeared in Marvel Comics Presents again, this time with a Cool Trenchcoat (tm) and a superhuman depiction of his martial arts abilities in which he spins like a tornado to avoid getting shot. Later on he uses a super shout to blow away a bad guy. Its some wild wuxia stuff, and I don't know if he ever used those abilities again.
He also has a guest role in Daredevil Annual #10 (1994). This cover is very clearly inspired by Frank Miller's work on Sin City. I think his leggings have "S.H.I.E.L.D." on them? Anyway, it features a re-appearance by Ghost-Maker, an old MOKF foe.
Shang-Chi popped up in a short 1997 arc of the X-Men. I remember being annoyed with his depiction in this, chiefly because I couldn't believe Wolverine could quickly win a fight against him (as he does in this). On the other hand, they do let him have a weird chi awareness moment where he notices Jean Grey being nearby despite her using telepathic invisibility. The rest of the arc he mostly hangs out quietly in the background.
Anyway, enjoy the '90s energy just popping off of this cover! Art by Carlos Pacheco, Art Thibert and Liquid.
This is, as far as I can tell, the first time we see him with a tattoo - a dragon wrapping around his left shoulder and upper arm. The tatted-up outfit pops up throughout this arc and later the same year in a brief arc in Journey into Mystery.
Its more of a traditional Hong Kong action tale with references to his dad and sister and some drug running.
Our boy has a guest appearance in Elektra's series in 1998. The tattoo is gone, but the outfit's more comparable to his post-X-Men getup in this era. Art by Mike Deodato Jr.
One of if not his last appearances in '90s comics is a guest role in Heroes for Hire #18-19 (art by Pasqual Ferry) from 1998. He's got a sort of hybrid getup here, a little bit old school, a little bit 90's, a lot Bruce Lee.
As in so many of these stories, Shang-Chi is mostly there to pop up mysteriously, mention the connection the bad guy has to his father's legacy, beat up some ninjas, then quickly fade into the background while the main hero does their thing.
His total number of appearances over the decade amounts to around 20 issues, tops, with most of those being guest or side story roles. He rarely gets more than a few lines and is often just one of several martial artist types who cameo. Its a pattern that does not end with the 90's, as we'll see as we move into the '00s....
