Time to angst the boy.

So in his quest, the Sanctus Medicus Alchemist enemy says “we can use your blood to irrigate the celestial traces.”

Going off the “Vidyadhara are used to make the Draight of Draconic Surge” (I can’t remember the prescription too well, but I think they use the Vidyadhara to “cure” Mara) and the idea of Yanqing being a Vidyadhara.

By one way or another, Sanctus Medicus finds out and tries to catch him to use him in their twisted experiments. He’s evaded capture this far, but they try for a new route.

His S/O.

He’s told he can either go quietly, or they’d kill his S/O and make him watch. He goes with them because he thinks it’ll ensure their safety.

But Dan Shu (the boss) is willing to play dirty when it comes to the followers of the “Devil Archer”. They keep his S/O as leverage. If he tries to fight back, they’ll just experiment on his S/O instead. They know Yanqing is strong, but even he has his weaknesses.

-----♡

A/N: So I haven't played his quest yet, because I'm too tired to play the game at the moment. But I definitely really love your idea, Anon! Thank you so much for the request!<33

-----♡

The moment Yanqing heard of your kidnapping, he felt his world freeze. Time came to a stop and his breath stuttered in surprise. He didn't expected this. He never thought they'd go so far and yet they did. He should've known that they would. But even so, it still shook him to the core.

He always prided himself in being strong and skilled, but when it came to being with you, you were regarded as the best achievement he has ever gotten in his life. You were kind and gentle, always so caring to him. And now... he has potentially endangered you due to his arrogance. He felt untouchable, until this very moment.

And so he had only two options to choose from. Either, he left with them willingly or you'll be experimented on instead. His heart and soul hurt from the idea of you getting hurt, which didn't help the rage that he was feeling. He was so angry, he wanted to rip them all apart, just to wipe those smug smirks off their faces.

But he had to stay calm and think strategically, just like Jing Yuan taught him to. He came up with his third option then, which consisted of him sending his location to the general and simply handing himself in to the followers. He couldn't help but feel smug himself now, especially when he watched them celebrate his capture.

You were allowed to see him for a moment, as you practically threw yourself at him in tears, clinging onto him whilst you apologised for letting yourself get captured. But Yanqing just gently hushed you, promising that his revenge was on his way. Or at least, he hoped that his mentor would catch on fast.

He went through everything that could go wrong then in slight worry. What if Jing Yuan didn't have his phone on him? What if he didn't pay attention and dismissed it? What if the followers already caught onto his little plan? His thoughts were endless, but you clinging onto him tearfully made him remember to stay strong. He had to be for you.

And so he didn't let any emotions cross his face, as they grabbed you and dragged you away from him, so that the first experiments on him could proceed. With every cry and scream of his name crossing your lips, he felt the anger in him get worse and worse. He could practically break his handshells with ease from the strength and rage he felt. But alas, he was compliant.

He closed his eyes, as he was being strapped to a table, hoping that you'd at least be safe through this, when suddenly the door slammed open and a dozen cloud knights filtered into the makeshift operation room. Yanqing took this as a sign and summoned his swords, as he quickly fought his way off the table and away from the crazy followers.

He ran past the cloud knights and right through the crowd of followers being arrested, until he got outside and finally found you crying with Jing Yuan attempting to comfort you. The moment you saw Yanqing you stood up and allowed him to practically scoop you into his arms for a tight hug. Your tears flowed endlessly, as he gently comforted you and gave his general a knowing look.

He'd personally see to it, that those followers learn to never mess with you again.

-----♡

A/N: Alright, I hope this is okay! Thank you again for the request!<33

Why the heck are their names like that?

Well, if you willingly came here to read about why my HSR fics have names stylized the way they are, then you’re at least somewhat prepared for the long-haul. I hope so, anyway.

tl;dr I think it’s simply a localization choice why some people have spaces in their names to make it easier for non-Chinese speakers to read their names. If you see someone in-game with a three-syllable name, they were given a surname. Anyone with two-syllable names are probably surnameless. The space between syllables usually only applies between surname and the two-syllable personal name (e.g. Wen Shiqi has a surname, where the space denotes ‘Wen’ as the surname, and ‘Shiqi’ as the personal name. Conversely, the ‘Dan’ part of Dan Shu is probably not her surname).

Alright, so let’s start with a quick introduction to romanization and the Chinese language. The phonetic writing system for romanized Chinese is called pinyin. Since Chinese is a tonal-based language, the tones are represented through the use of accents. Each syllable has one accent modifier attached to it, which is why you see those crazy-looking names.

To liken it to romanizing a Japanese name, which some may be more familiar with, this is like a dilemma of whether I would use ō, ou, or o for a name like Sōzen. All three are legit, but one of them leaves out context (o), while the second not only looks clunky to my eyes (especially if you end up with a name as crazy as Rikujoukourou like damn bro look at that shit) but it’s also awful to type because it has extra letters. The last option (ō) is simple (with the use of auto-conversion, of course). Easy on the hands and eyes.

Please fall for my Hepburn romanization propaganda.

ANYWAY

(Modern) Chinese names follow a certain convention: one-syllable surname (family name, clan name, last name, etc), then the two-syllable personal name (first name, forename, given name, etc). In total, that is three syllables for one person’s entire name. The important thing to note here is the two-syllable personal name portion, as I think most characters don’t have a surname in HSR. It’s so rare that they are exceptions rather than the norm. As a matter of fact, I think the only people with legitimate surnames are the Wens on Herta Space Station, which implies they’re a family…?

Initially, I only really had experience with Japanese names, which I found simpler. Surname, Personal name, and you don’t have to deal with any spacing shenanigans because the space can only mean one thing: a divide between the surname and the personal name. (e.g. Sangonomiya (surname) Kokomi (personal) is simply Sangonomiya Kokomi, not Sango no miya Kokomi, or any cursed variation of the sort.)

When I started playing Genshin and HSR, the Chinese names really threw me for a loop, because I think my previous influence from Japanese names did me dirty. My brain had become wired to see [Surname] [dividing space] [Personal name], which is not necessarily the case with Chinese names.

When dealing with Chinese personal names, it’s completely optional to include a space between the first and second syllable, while also placing a space between the surname and the first half of the two-syllable names (are you in pain yet because I am).

Let’s use Wēn Shìqí as an example, our favorite afro-haired man on the Herta Space Station. In-game, his full name is already rendered in a way to allow most English speakers decently familiar with Asian naming conventions to immediately understand that ‘Wen’ is probably his surname, and ‘Shiqi’ is his personal name.

It’s totally valid to have romanized his name as ‘Wen Shi Qi,’ and I don’t know about you, but that is painful for me to read. Conversely, removing all spaces is also a completely legal move, but also as almost as equally painful to witness. ‘Wenshiqi’ sure is an eyeful, but I still prefer it over the spaced version.

Thus, ‘Wen Shiqi’ is an acceptable middle ground, right? Right. Surely.

This leads me into finally answering the opening question. Why is everyone’s name like that?

Well, it’s mostly for consistency and homogeneity. At first, I settled for simply writing everything with the correct pinyin accents, but sticking to in-game conventions. Thus, we have things like Jǐng Yuán and Fú Xuán versus Qīngquè and Yànqīng.

But the longer I kept writing these names, the more annoyed I became that some of these two-syllable names were separated by spaces, and others weren’t. It irked my consistency-seeking side. I hated that shit. I searched for a feasible reason to see why some would be separated and others not.

Legit, I think the spacing reason is as simple as the localization team going, ‘That’s probably easier to read for a Western audience, so do that!’

The other potential answer is a simple, ‘Well, that’s because those are their surnames!’ Which I don’t really have an argument against besides, ‘So, why not Qīngquè, Yànqīng, etc?’

Eventually, I had to make a choice. Either I stuck to in-game conventions (safest choice) with the pinyin, or I gave everyone equal treatment and they got a space between syllables. Or, I gave everyone equal treatment, and they got their names smushed together. The first option really sucks because I hate the inconsistency, and the second option was quite painful on the eyes, which left the third option to be the most appealing.

Finally, if you’ve made it this far, the real reason is because now I can give everyone a surname, AKA I can peddle my ‘they’re married, your honor!’ bullshit for everyone to witness. I am beside myself giddy with joy at the prospect of giving Caelus Jǐngyuán’s surname. My council of gremlins and I spent significant time picking out this surname and I’ll make use of them, damn it.

P.S. So, Mr. Jǐngfāng, the most esteemed li’l bro to our mans, General Jǐngyuán. I don’t believe the joke hinges on the fact he has the same ‘surname’ as Jǐngyuán, it’s that his real name (Jǐngjuán) is eerily close to Jǐngyuán’s, so people always mistake him to be Jǐngyuán’s little brother.

P.P.S. ‘What about when Jǐngyuán calls Fúxuán by ‘Lady Fu’? There’s no Xuan attached, so that’s clearly her last name!’

u got me there but if u want my honest reasoning for this, i’m pretty sure he’s calling her ‘Lady [Personal name]’ and not ‘Lady [Surname]’

Since there’s a space in her in-game localized name, it looks awkward going full ‘Lady [Fu Xuan].’ The space here is the determining factor, because I mean, if her name was localized as Fuxuan, then it would just be ‘Lady [Fuxuan],’ wouldn’t it?

Please continue to fall for my pinyin propaganda, thank you.

P.P.P.S. So if you really want to torture yourself, here’s even more info to fully contextualize why I still agonize over these damn names to this day.

Chinese names are three syllable affairs, right? Surname (3), Personal name (1)(2)

HOWEVER, only modern Chinese names are like that. It’s utterly uncommon now, and if you were to provide a two-syllable full name (Surname [2], Personal name [1]), Chinese speakers would immediately presume you were talking about a historical figure. [Another honorable mention are two-syllable surnames (2)(3) + one- or two-syllable personal names (1), which are also extremely old-fashioned]

It is possible to posit that any Xiānzhōu with a space in their name is probably someone really old. After all, appearances are deceiving, and this could be the most ultra-subtle way for MHY to indicate who is older than you think.

But, like, Fúxuán ain’t that old because it’s canonical that she’s too brash to be the next general, with the implication that it’s because she’s young(er). One of my advisory gremlins suggested that she could have forced the space in her name to make her seem older and more mature, and for a moment in time, I was almost sold on that.

BUT, case in point: Jingliu. Excuse me, but after some discussion, we determined Jǐngyuán was somewhere between 600 and 800 years old. This madam is his mentor, meaning she’s been alive and kicking for at least 800+ years. WHERE’S THE SPACE IN HER NAME

‘Maybe they did it because the names were too long as one word—’ WHAT ABOUT SUSHANG. OR CANGCHENG

P.P.P.P.S. I’m going to be so mad if there’s a perfectly reasonable explanation for this and somehow all three of us completely missed it because we’re old, dumb, deaf, and blind, OR it’s explained somewhere in HI3rd, which i have never played

anyway tho like. now that ive played the 1.2 story and sat on it a bit id say my overall thoughts are def mixed. i enjoyed a lot of it but theres some things that sorta just stick out or dont work and the pacing definitely worked against the story

(just a long rant/ramble upcoming its not coherent at all lol)

one thing that rly rubbed me the wrong way was like. while overall this story rly sold fu xuan as a character to me (i was a huge fan of her presence overall) the dan shu thing just felt? wrong? and like to be clear it wasnt just fu xuan the scenes writing was off in general but her role in being the one countering dan shus points just made her p central to the problem.

but like my issue is that dan shu is previously established as having very understandable reasons behind her resentment of lan that made her compelling as twist villain imo. Yet that resolve was nowhere in the scene in her rebuttal of the xianzhous ways?? when i think that shouldve been The moment of her calling out the xianzhou and actually challenging fu xuan properly. it wouldve been an even better opportunity to expand upon how fu xuan responds to being confronted with the xianzhous flaws and hypocrisy and problems. but somehow yassified dan shu really just. had a generic villain speech and thats it. the callback to their heritage as former followers of abundance was... fine? but like it wasnt that impactful. and fu xuan essentially calling her nothing but a power hungry villain when thats very much Not what dan shus motivation boils down to sucks and now players who didnt read her diary or play/pay attention to her side quest will think of her as just a generic bad guy and not a very tragic complex figure of her own

then the like. underutilization of blade was just like. ok what was the point. it IS funny to reference the tuxedo mask meme and how he skewers his ex yet immediately gangs up with him against yanqing and all but honestly he shouldve gotten to be more feral and present than he did like its just meh. ig its kafka keeping him from messing up elios script but cmon. i want more of him. yanqing also got done so dirty in that scene like. he shouldve gotten some more screentime and focus even if his job was p much to just get bodied. kid just watched jing yuan make deals with criminals no way he isnt affected by it

in general i was p shocked how inexistent the high cloud quintet was from the story. but ig w how rushed the pacing was for dan hengs backstory reveals at times already ig its better left for later (hopefully). i just rly hope this means that the topic get its time to shine properly in the future. esp since im p sure they never even named any of dan fengs crimes outright which is a curious choice.

jing yuan got a rly solid characterization and i definitely enjoyed it!!! even if im a little miffed at how they didnt give dan heng enough breathing room to come to terms with the emotional impact of facing his past and memories thanks to the plot moving forward so fast and he was kinda the one leading that. but he was still great - i liked the scheming side to him and the arguably pretty ruthless way he leveraged dan hengs exile status to force his hand to cooperate a lot. his reasoning makes sense obvi but its still a very brutal and utilitarian approach and i like that energy for his character. his duty is to the luofu above all else even if thats far from all he is about. overall his and dan hengs interactions including dan heng very much emphasizing his desire to be seen as separate from dan feng were a highlight for sure. and jing yuans final showdown moment against phantylia slapped obviously

and then w dan heng im torn between like. really loving all the good stuff we got with the insane cutscenes and the vidyadhara echoes and then wishing that he got just that little bit more for his own realizations and inner conflict. and the part about not properly featuring blade also hurt his story too imo bc the anticlimactic nature of the scene where blade confronts him and forces the transformation and how he n kafka just... leave rly kinda flattens the impact of the reveal moment esp since thats when jing yuan just all but openly says ok time for the plot. but they still did a great job selling DHIL and i think im overall a fan of how they seem to have handled the dan feng vs dan heng thing (and its roughly what i was expecting). dan feng is dead but its never just that simple either. i hope theyll be exploring the exact nature of dan fengs sins and the sedition in the future

im so mad i spoiled myself the tingyun thing bc jfc the neck snap wouldve hit So hard if the reveal itself was also a complete surprise. and its sth that was genuinely well built up like i remember thinking her 1.0 dialogue was kinda sus but wouldve never imagined the actual truth. dont do leaks folks sometimes this happens and it sucks :/ but i have to say phantylia herself was kinda? underwhelming. i liked when she picked up jing yuan like a little bug she wanted to squish and the boss fight was cool but to be fair. this was like 50% bc of how bad the sound mixing was for all of her dialogue that overlapped w in game battle. she rly lacks the necessary menace and imposing energy when u can barely even make out what shes saying 😭 her voice shouldve been as loud and large as her..... Presence. jing yuan carried the boss fight and the final cutscene but man the fade to black rly didnt do the abrupt ending any favors like we just teleport to exalted sanctum and thats it???? maybe jing yuan dies maybe not!!!

overall my prime issue is p much just how like. it feels like they shoved 3-4 mini arcs worth of stuff into one speedrun when all of them deserved more focus and exploration and the pacing rly got rough at times. it wasnt like inazuma level bad but it does get me wondering if hoyos just bad at doing these big conclusions to prior build up and holding the story threads tightly together until the end.

this comes off as super negative helpp but like. by no means did i hate all of it so dont take it the wrong way lmao. its more that there was good stuff there but also wasted potential. for the most part i was having a blast but to be fair that was 40% just playing blade ridiculously underleveled through it all. i only got him to lvl 80 for the boss fight

Fire and Ice - Carol Denning x OC/Reader A/B/O Fic

SUMMARY: Sallie Novak, a 19 year old omega, gets sent to litchfield max for attempted murder, and has to survive in a prison that consists of mostly Betas and Alphas.

CHAPTER ONE

Sallie Novak never thought she would end up in prison, but with the unfortunate circumstances that have occurred over the past 2 years of her life, it honestly may be the better option than being at home.

Being an omega, she was told to do the right thing and never the wrong thing, her mother raised her that way. At first, it was okay. Her mother was a strong omega and taught Sallie to control her heats and not get swept up in relationships. She didn’t end up as a pregnant teen, so she didn’t do too bad.

Though when Sallie was 16, her mother met Dan, an ex-military alpha who is the biggest fucking cuntstick on the planet. He actually seemed incredibly nice at first, for the first year of knowing him, actually. He had money and took care of Sallie and her mother who didn’t have much since her father died when she was 12, and her mother worked as a manager at a grocery store.

After Dan and her mother got married, however, the dynamic shifted, Dan seemed to turn into a different person. He got lazy and grew a dependence for alcohol, and they quickly discovered that he got violent when he drank. He began to get very abusive towards Sallie’s mother, and it sent her into a highly depressive state. She lost her job and hardly left her bedroom most days.

Sallie was unsure why or how Dan’s attention got shifted to her instead of her mother, but it did. Sallie would come home from school and Dan would be drunk, and he would find ridiculous excuses to be pissed off at her; she didn’t do the dishes before she left, or she forgot to feed the dog, anything. On the good days, he would scream at her and she’d shut herself in her room and cry, on the bad days, she would be in her bedroom with belt marks, scrapes, and bruises all over her body.

He never took interest in her sexually, as far as she knew. She took suppressants and wore scent blockers so he could never smell her, but he did make occasional comments about her figure and slapped her ass a couple times, so, he wasn’t innocent in that regard either.

Eventually, she had enough of the abuse, she couldn't take it anymore, so one day, when she was bringing him coffee (Which he made her do, every morning), she slipped rat poison in it. But the motherfucker caught on, he could taste it in his fucking coffee, and he wasted no time calling the police.

That’s when she knew she was fucked.

So Sallie ended up in prison. Granted, the time for her was shorter than most, but as an omega, she knew there wouldn’t be many like her. And there weren’t. Omegas didn’t commit crimes and go to jail like alphas do. They stayed pretty and did little offenses that very rarely got them in trouble. Omegas were pure little creatures, even though a lot of them had a nasty sex life, they always kept things clean on the outside and blamed others for their faults like the prissy little bitches they were. Well, Sallie never did that. She took the blame, and though she tried and tried to report Dan’s abusive behaviour, her mother, always denied it, and it was the word of an attempted murderer against that of a woman with a clean record and a veteran.

So here she was, litchfield fucking Max. Walking in with cuffs on her hands, glaring back at everyone who looked at her. The prison provided scent blockers for omegas, and hormone suppressants, but that didn’t make Sallie any less nervous, the suppressants weren’t the same ones Sallie was used to taking, and the blockers weren’t very strong.

They stopped at a gate, and next to it was a large “C” on the wall. “Welcome to C-Block” the guard said as the gate opened and they walked in.

Even with the blockers, she noticed some alphas got a whiff of her smell as she walked by, causing some to lick their lips as if they were a treat, palm at themselves with obvious sexual frustration, while others bit down on their bottom lip to seem less obvious of their intentions when gazing at her body. She shouldn’t be here. She should be somewhere else with more protection, yet here she was… She didn’t realize she'd be mixed in with alphas, even if there wasn’t that many. Sallie didn’t have a plan for what she was going to do while she was here. She didn’t have a plan on staying safe and keeping herself up in the long run. She had nothing.

She was so fucked.

Practically shoved into her little cell, Sallie found herself back towards the guard who had pushed her in. “So, inmate,” the guard spoke. Helman, was it? “Most of the time Omegas are put into Florida, but since we're short on space there, you'll have to stay here until we find an alternative. There aren’t many alphas here, but there are a couple. That means no making yourself vulnerable; cover your scent as much as you can, or you will be fucked over if one of us isn't here. We can’t be by your side every hour of the day, and the male guards won’t be the most reliable if you accidentally seduce them with your scent.”

Sallie wanted to scoff at the male’s words, staring at him. Her expression clearly showed she was nervous. “My cellmate isn’t an alpha, right?” She asked.

“Obviously not, your cellmate is a beta, one of our most docile inmates. Don't expect any more special treatment just because you're an omega though. You got yourself in this mess, and now there’s no way out. You should have been a good little whore and stayed put instead of going out and doing bad things.”

The guard’s words tore right through Sallie, making her go pale for a moment. The look in his eyes showed that he wasn’t messing around and that he was looking for what many of the inmates were looking for: A hole to fuck.

This was her life now.

“This was the end of your special treatment, Novak. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner will not be taken to you. Dinner is in ten, tomorrow you have orientation after breakfast. Don't be late for it. We have eyes on you, so you have little to worry about,” the guard was smirking. “I would get a head start on getting to dinner.The good trays always get taken by the alphas.”

Sallie breathed shakily, nodding her head slowly.

Keep your head up, Novak. They won't hurt you.

——

“Ooh, look at this new cookie, you don’t look half bad,” a voice jeered at Sallie when she went to get in line for her dinner tray. She couldn’t resist glaring over, seeing a slightly overweight girl with badly bleached hair laughing at her. She was with a group who already had their dinner trays, sitting at a table. Sallie gave the girl a dirty look, but then she noticed a movement behind her.

It was just a tiny movement, a cocking of the head. And yet for a second when Sallie saw her, she forgot how to breath. The woman was staring right at her, eyes narrowed how a predator would watch its prey. Sallie immediately knew this woman was an alpha, not even having to smell her. Sallie’s brain told her to look away but she simply couldn’t. She didn’t know if it was her omega needing this or just deep curiosity, but she kept her gaze, taking in large 80’s glasses and the end of a lollipop that stuck out of her mouth. But then she blinked, and Sallie felt her face flush and the world came rushing back. She quickly looked away and bore her gaze at the food cart, making sure not to look back at the woman.

When she got her food and sat at an empty table, 2 inmates quickly came up and sat on each side of her, their smell flooding her senses; alphas.

“So… what's your name, pretty little omega? Why did you end up in this sickening place? You must have fucked up, bad.”

“Shut the hell up,” Sallie spat.

“Feisty. I like that.” A second prisoner spoke up, grinning towards her. Her hand began to rub Sallie’s thigh, causing her to flinch. “Oh, they were right about omegas… You are sensitive, huh, pretty girl?”

“Leave me the fuck alone…” She growled, nudging her off her thigh. “I don't fuck around like that. Just because I'm an omega doesn't mean I'm not strong.”

“But I think it does… You see, if all of us were to pin you against this table right now, there would be no escape. I think the guards would even join in on the fun! Either that or we would get thrown in the SHU, but none of us give a shit about that. All we care about is that we might be getting a wet hole to fuck…”

“Hey, knock it off.” A woman’s voice rang through, and the two immediately scattered, there was an instant heaviness in the air. The fear the voice instilled in the other alphas made Sallie nervous as fuck. She looked over and realized it was the voice of the woman she saw earlier. She was no longer looking at Sallie, she was now speaking to the girl with the awful hair.

“Oi Gapman, go sit with that cookie. And nobody fuck with her, got it?” A heavy Bronx accent rang out from that girl, she sounded almost annoyed to say what she did.

A few moments later a thin woman with greasy blonde hair came up to Sallie and sat with her. She was an Omega, Sallie could tell simply by her demeanour, and the alpha bite mark on her neck. Knowing she wasn’t the only omega here made her feel a little bit more safe.“Sorry about these guys, they’re awful here to omegas, but in my experience Carol doesn’t tolerate a bunch of horny alphas like Barb does over in D-Block, so you should be fine. Oh, I’m Chapman, uh, Piper.” She said and stuck her hand out.

Sallie shook her hand with a blank expression. “Carol?” She asked

“She runs the gang here in C-Block. Everything goes through her. I haven't been here long, but I’ve seen her gang do some shit, I wouldn’t mess with her. Oh and her fucking right hand is a bitch, Badison’s her name, the one who yelled at me to come over here in the first place.”

“Badison?” Sallie chuckled. “What kind of name is that?”

“I’m not entirely sure, but she’s my cellmate, and it’s torture. Don’t get on her bad side like I did. She’s just a beta, and honestly I think her attitude is to try to overcompensate for her genetics.”

Sallie just nodded and got lost in thought for a moment. She really didn’t care about this ‘Badison’ character. She did care about Carol though… The quick scurrying off from the other alphas made more sense now, they’re all scared of her. Sallie wonders how long she’s been in here for, and what she’s done.

——

About 15 minutes later, Sallie returned to her cell to try and get some rest. Upon entering she saw a short, blue haired girl sitting on the top bunk reading a book.

“Uh, hey, you must be my cellmate. I didn’t see you when I first got assigned. I’m Sallie Novak.”

The girl looked up from her book and grinned, hopping down from her bunk. “Great! They’re finally giving me a cellmate! I’m Jacs Walker, sorry I didn’t see you in admission, I’ve been in medical, caught a shiv in the ribs a couple days ago from a dickhead alpha over in D-Block.”

“Damn, sorry, that had to suck.” Sallie replied, kind of dumbfounded how positive this girl's energy was for just being shivved.

“It’s all good, shit happens, I shouldn’t have been trying to score from them. Anyways, you can have the bottom bunk, and those hooks there.” She pointed at the wall, “I know you’re an omega, but don't worry, I’m not into girls.”

Sallie nodded, not really sure how to respond, and she sat in her bunk. “If you don’t mind, I’m exhausted, I need some rest.”

“Of course, intake day is the worst! I’d know, I’ve been sent here 3 different times. Get some sleep.”

It wasn’t long before she drifted off to sleep with thoughts of large glasses and bright blue eyes…

TORAISHI: We’ll only get in the way if we go there.

TORAISHI: Ya know? Men are a disaster in the kitchen.

UGAWA: But Nayuki-kun’s a man, too.

TORAISHI: (laughs) Never mind that.

UGAWA: (sighs) Really, I’ve had enough.

UGAWA: Also, I’ve been wondering about this for a while…

UGAWA: Why is Inumine-kun wearing a hakama?

INUMINE: Ta-da~! (sparkles)

UGAWA: You don’t have to pose!

EIGO: I am quite curious as well.

TATSUMI: Ah, I thought we weren’t supposed to mention that.

INUMINE: Tengenji let me wear it~!

UGAWA: Geh…! Don’t tell me…! That’s Tengenji-kun’s kimono!?

TORAISHI: Hey…! Isn’t that super expensive?!

TORAISHI: Take it off before you ruin it!

INUMINE: Sure, sure~ (he starts taking them off)

TORAISHI: Wai— Not here!

INUMINE: I brought some clothes with me! (starts humming)

UGAWA: That’s not the problem here…

(Inumine continues to hum)

UGAWA: (sighs)

TATSUMI: (giggles)

EIGO: Good grief.

INUMINE: Ta-da~! (sparkles) I’ve finished changing!

TORAISHI: Leave those clothes someplace where they won’t get dirty!

INUMINE: Hey, hey, guys~ A hakama’s so amazing! Even though it’s a kimono, you can spread your legs so far!

INUMINE: Tatsumi~ Let’s make our next team costume a hakama~!

TATSUMI: I’ll think about it.

UGAWA: Aren’t you being stupid, Inumine-kun?

UGAWA: Team Hiiragi’s last performance as a team was during the Ayanagi Festival. When we become 2nd years we won’t be a team anymore.

UGAWA: When next year comes… w-we can’t be Team Hiiragi anymore.

INUMINE: That so?

TORAISHI: Hey, Ugawa, what’s with that~ Did you become sad after saying that~?

UGAWA: I-It’s not like I’m sad!

UGAWA: I’m glad that I won’t be paired up with that giant dog anymore!

UGAWA: (in a sad tone) But… I’m a little sad about being separated from Tatsumin and Sawatari…

TORAISHI: Really! What’s with that quick change in attitude!?

INUMINE: I love you all!

TORAISHI: Sure, sure…

EIGO: We’ll all be one class next year after being formally accepted into the Musical Department.

EIGO: Surely we aren’t a team anymore but that doesn’t change the fact that we’re still friends in the same department.

TATSUMI: That’s true. Our company’s size has just gotten bigger but the rest will be the same, Ugawa.

UGAWA: Saru-kun… Tatsumi…

INUMINE: I am everyone’s friend! (he throws himself at them)

UGAWA: Heavy…! Don’t just start doing that…!

UGAWA: I’m really glad that I won’t be with you anymore! Also, I wanna change rooms!

INUMINE: Eh-he-he~

TENGENJI: Geez… What’s Team Hiiragi doing?

TENGENJI: They’re such a rowdy group.

KUGA: You wanna join them?

TENGENJI: Don’t make it sound like I’m so lonely, you boor!

NAYUKI: Thank you for waiting~

KUGA/TENGENJI: Hm?

NAYUKI: We’re done preparing the hotpot.

TSUKIGAMI: Nayuki, do I just put this thing on the table?

NAYUKI: Ah, yeah.

HOSHITANI: What about the small plates?

NAYUKI: Ah… Over there please.

HOSHITANI: Got it~

(Hoshitani and Tsukigami start preparing the table)

TORAISHI: Woah~ That smells so good!

EIGO: The gas and portable stove have been set on this table.

NAYUKI: Thank you.

INUMINE: Hotpot~ Hotpot~

UGAWA: Calm down.

KUGA: Hm? (starts sniffing) Hotpot?

TENGENJI: Hotpot…? (starts sniffing) This aroma is…

NAYUKI: Ah… (nervous laughter) To tell the truth…

NAYUKI: It turned into oden…

HOSHITANI: Still~ Isn’t this delicious, too~?

TENGENJI: It’s true that it looks appetizing but…

TENGENJI: I don’t really get it. Do commoners have a tradition to eat oden during New Year’s Eve?

KUGA: There’s no such thing.

NAYUKI: Actually, you see…

TATSUMI: We thought of buying ingredients for a hotpot at first but the supermarket’s run out of most of them.

EIGO: It’s New Year’s Eve so it’s predictable.

TORAISHI: And so, we bought the oden ingredients from the special sale.

TSUKIGAMI: Well, it’s still in a pot so it’s almost the same.

KUGA: I’ll eat it as long as it’s edible.

INUMINE: Me, too! Hey, Nayukicchi, can we eat now~?

NAYUKI: Nayukicchi…?

UGAWA: Ah, you don’t have to bother yourself with what he says, Nayuki-kun.

NAYUKI: O-oh, I see…

HOSHITANI: Ah~ I’m starving, too! Let’s eat!

NAYUKI: Ah, sure. Go ahead.

HOSHITANI: Then, all together now.

ALL: Thank you for the food!

(they all start eating)

HOSHITANI: Delicious! Nayuki’s cooking is the best!

NAYUKI: Thank you, Hoshitani-kun.

TORAISHI: It’s super delicious! Maybe I’ll ask Nayuki to make me lunch next year, too~

UGAWA: Don’t say such shameless things. Well, it’s true that it’s delicious.

INUMINE: Yeah, delicious! I’ll sing to show how delicious it really is!

TATSUMI: You don’t have to, Inumine.

EIGO: We’re in the middle of a meal after all.

INUMINE: I see! Then I’ll sing after we eat!

HOSHITANI: Ah, Tsukigami and Kuga, are you eating properly?

TSUKIGAMI: No.

KUGA: There’re a lot of people and we can’t get close.

HOSHITANI: (laughs)

NAYUKI: Maybe we should’ve used two pots.

TORAISHI: Nah, you try to get something from the pot as fast as you can. That’s its purpose, isn’t it~?

TORAISHI: You’re not a real man if it doesn’t make your hunter’s blood boil, right Tengenji~?

TENGENJI: Hah?! Why are you passing it to me?

TORAISHI: Well, in my case, I get my prey without them even noticing~

TENGENJI: Weren’t you talking about oden, you boor?!

KUGA: Tengenji, that guy’s got a disease called ‘womanizing’. Don’t mind him.

NAYUKI: (nervous laughter)

HOSHITANI: Ah, Tsukigami and Kuga, if you haven’t eaten yet then maybe I should share with you!

HOSHITANI: Here, I just got it from the pot a while ago.

HOSHITANI: There~!

TSUKIGAMI: Yeah, thank you.

KUGA: Thanks.

KUGA: Hm?

TSUKIGAMI: What’s wrong, Kuga?

KUGA: …! What’s with this ingredient?

HOSHITANI: Eh? It’s a three-coloured dango.

KUGA: Dan…? It’s a dango?

NAYUKI: Um… It’s not the dessert kind.

TSUKIGAMI: It’s boiled fish paste that’s just shaped into a dango. Have you never seen one before?

KUGA: No. Plus, it’s my first time seeing oden with coloured ingredients.

ALL: Eh…?!

HOSHITANI: Is that so?

TENGENJI: But you’ve eaten oden before, right?

KUGA: I have.

KUGA: The ingredients we usually use at home were only radish, konjac, and the like..

TSUKIGAMI: That’s… pretty simple.

NAYUKI: Then… what about eggs…?

KUGA: None.

HOSHITANI: Rolled cabbage?

KUGA: None.

TENGENJI: Even deep-fried tofu?

KUGA: Yeah.

HOSHITANI: Even potatoes?

KUGA: Yeah.

HOSHITANI: And fish cakes, chikuwabu, or wieners?!

KUGA: No—

TORAISHI: STOP!

TORAISHI: Don’t tease Shu any more than this!

KUGA: No… What you said was the most insulting one, Toraishi.

HOSHITANI: Then, Kuga! Wanna try some of the mochi ones? Here.

NAYUKI: Ah, the tsukune’s handmade too so try them. Here~

KUGA: Thanks.

TSUKIGAMI: Good grief…

TENGENJI: They made such a fuss over a simple oden.

ALL: (laughter)

***

HOSHITANI: I’m so full!

ALL: Thank you for the food!

NAYUKI: Thank you for enjoying it.

HOSHITANI: Oh yeah, around what time will Team Hiiragi leave the dorms?

HOSHITANI: You’re going home tonight, right?

TATSUMI: Eigo and I will be picked up by a car from home so maybe I’ll wander around while waiting.

EIGO: They might arrive soon. I’ll confirm with them on the phone.

TATSUMI: Yes, that might be best, Eigo.

UGAWA: Maybe I’ll go walk around with Tatsumin. I wanna see them off, too.

INUMINE: Me, too!

UGAWA: How about no? If you hang around here longer your parents will be worried, right?

INUMINE: Eh-he-he~

UGAWA: I’m not praising you.

HOSHITANI: What about you, Toraishi?

TORAISHI: Me? Well, I—

KUGA: You’re not going home, huh?

TORAISHI: (laughs) New Year’s Eve is a party night, y’know?

TORAISHI: I’ll prolly be up all night partying and playing with some cute girls. Ah, but I’ll be up early tomorrow so let’s go visit a shrine, Shu.

KUGA: If you wake up early.

EIGO: What will everyone else be doing after this?

TSUKIGAMI: We’ll be going home tonight, too.

HOSHITANI: It’s a rare opportunity so maybe we’ll go outside with everyone in Team Hiiragi.

HOSHITANI: And then, we can see them off, too~

EIGO: Oh, you don’t have to bother yourself with it.

HOSHITANI: It’s not a bother. I really wanna do it.

HOSHITANI: You know? We’ve been through a lot together.

HOSHITANI: We fought and even though we were in different teams we did a training camp together.

HOSHITANI: Even doing part-time work together…

HOSHITANI: We haven’t known each other for long but as people from the same department I guess we could consider ourselves as rivals.

HOSHITANI: But, the Ayanagi Festival’s over and we’re like good friends who passed the newbie stage!

HOSHITANI: That’s why I wanna do something friends would do.

NAYUKI: That’s right.

TENGENJI: I don’t really plan to see anyone off but I guess I will. I’ll be picked up by a car later, too.

KUGA: You’re just lone—

TENGENJI: I said I’m not, you boor!!

TSUKIGAMI: I wonder now~

TENGENJI: HUH?!

(laughter)

NAYUKI: Then I’ll go start cleaning up now.

HOSHITANI: I’ll help out, too!

KUGA: Me, too. I can at least help wash dishes.

NAYUKI: Thank you.

TENGENJI: Then I’ll go feed Tavian and then—

UGAWA: What’s a Tavian?

TENGENJI: Ah—I—uh… I didn’t say anything! What’s a Tavian?

UGAWA: Huh? But you just said ‘Tavian’ a while ago.

(they all start laughing)

***

UGAWA: Nayuki-kun, where should I put this plate?

NAYUKI: Ah, in the rightmost shelf, thank you.

UGAWA: Got it~

UGAWA: There we go…

NAYUKI: Sorry for making you help out.

UGAWA: It’s fine. I’d feel bad if I just ate and didn’t help out.

NAYUKI: Thank you.

UGAWA: Uh… This might be hard to answer but… Why’s everyone in your team such a goody two shoes?

UGAWA: Well, there’s one who isn’t really.

NAYUKI: Eh…? I-is that so?

NAYUKI: Everyone in Team Hiiragi is a good person, too.

NAYUKI: Tatsumi-kun and Sawatari-kun have such great manners and Toraishi-kun’s very gentle.

NAYUKI: Inumine-kun’s very fun and Ugawa-kun’s even helping me out here.

UGAWA: Th-that’s—I-it’s pretty normal.

NAYUKI: Really?

UGAWA: Yeah.

UGAWA: But… thank you…

NAYUKI: (to himself) Ugawa-kun said ‘thank you’…!

NAYUKI: Sure!

INUMINE: Ugawa’s helping, too? How great~!

UGAWA: Inumine-kun, are you done washing?

INUMINE: Yeah~ That’s why I’m here to help~!

NAYUKI: Eh? Ah thank you.

(Inumine starts humming and playing with the plates)

UGAWA: Nayuki-kun, I don’t think this is a good idea. Inumine-kun’s really clumsy when it’s not a musical.

UGAWA: He’ll definitely break a plate.

NAYUKI: I’ve heard that a lot but…

NAYUKI: Is he really that bad? I got surprised by him during the training camp but is he really that clumsy…?

UGAWA: That guy’s broken a lot of chopsticks since moving in the dorms. He was only eating rice, you know?

NAYUKI: Eh?

UGAWA: He said it’s thinner than the usual chopsticks he uses at home.

UGAWA: But, is it normal to just break them? I feel like he’s gotten even stronger than before.

NAYUKI: E-eh…?

UGAWA: Also, I’ve been bitten in the leg by that guy before.

NAYUKI: E-eh…?! He bit you…? On your leg…?

UGAWA: Yeah, my calf. He was dreaming and bit me while we were watching a movie in Tatsumin’s room.

UGAWA: The teeth marks were there for quite a while.

NAYUKI: Th-that’s… amazing…

UGAWA: It is, right? Is he a dog?

NAYUKI: Um… A dog might be brighter…

(plate breaking)

INUMINE: Ah, I broke it~

NAYUKI: Ah…

UGAWA: See?!

TSUKIGAMI: Tonight’s the coldest it’s ever been, huh?

TSUKIGAMI: It feels like it’s going to snow.

TATSUMI: Tsukigami.

TSUKIGAMI: Hm?

TATSUMI: What are you doing? Isn’t it cold out here?

TSUKIGAMI: Tatsumi. I just felt like getting some fresh air.

TSUKIGAMI: There’s fewer people in the dorms right now but for some reason I feel like it’s denser inside.

TATSUMI: (giggles) I think it’s probably because a lot of energetic people have gathered inside.

TSUKIGAMI: That’s true.

TATSUMI: Your team’s leader is fun, huh?

TSUKIGAMI: Hoshitani?

TSUKIGAMI: Well, yeah, I guess.

TSUKIGAMI: He’s the type you won’t normally see in Ayanagi Academy.

TATSUMI: That day— Remember? The day when we fought over Team Otori’s bento?

TSUKIGAMI: Yeah.

TATSUMI: That time, to be honest I felt a little sympathetic for you.

TSUKIGAMI: Eh?

TATSUMI: You looked calm but I thought that maybe there was something you weren’t satisfied with.

TATSUMI: You know? That you were in a team with people who barely have experience.

TATSUMI: See? I always admired you as my rival.

TSUKIGAMI: You’re overestimating me.

TSUKIGAMI: I was a pathetic guy who ran away from the interview after being asked about my brother.

TATSUMI: But right now it’s different?

TSUKIGAMI: …!

TATSUMI: The previous you won’t have spoken out his feelings like this.

TATSUMI: You won’t have admitted your own weakness then, right?

TATSUMI: That’s why Eigo and I were worried. We thought that it might’ve been difficult for you to try and pull such an unruly team together.

TATSUMI: But, it looks like I didn’t have to worry.

TATSUMI: Hoshitani’s amazing! He has so many qualities that we don’t have.

TSUKIGAMI: Yeah, that’s true.

TATSUMI: Tsukigami, I’m really proud to have called you guys our rivals this past year.

TSUKIGAMI: (chuckles) An unruly team like ours is the Star of Stars’ rival, huh?

TSUKIGAMI: Aren’t we lacking as performers?

TATSUMI: No. Team Otori is without a doubt our rival.

TATSUMI: I wish to be able to stand in front of the stage with you all someday again.

TSUKIGAMI: Yeah, me too. Please take care of us from now on, too.

TATSUMI: Us, too.

EIGO: Tatsumi.

TATSUMI/TSUKIGAMI: Hm?

EIGO: It seems like the car’s almost here. Please get ready.

TATSUMI: Got it.

TATSUMI: Shall we?

TSUKIGAMI: Yeah.

HOSHITANI: When standing on top of the stage, the story’s characters, whether they’re the main characters or secondary characters, even the nameless ensemble, each carry feelings about the performance.

HOSHITANI: Until the curtain falls, each and every one of them think that they’re the main characters for today.

HOSHITANI: Otori-senpai told me something similar some time ago.

HOSHITANI: It made me think of how similar it is to our stories right now.

HOSHITANI: Each of us are the main characters and each of us do our best to shine.Until the curtain falls, we’re standing on top of the stage.

HOSHITANI: Our story’s just beginning so I’m looking forward to turning the page to a brand new story!
