It didn’t really help since she couldn’t really ever go back into the past to alter her lot in life. She gained a small smile on her face when she noticed Margo-san blushing. It was a bit cute, which did help her mood slightly because it was definitely down. However, when he slightly laughed at what she said, however she was a bit confused when he said Malibu Barbie. There was a specific reason why is because she never really played with dolls before, which only because she had to craft Military Grade weapons when she was young. [color=FFB6C1]”Margo-san, it’s good you can entertain so well. It’s been forever since I laughed [i]genuinely[/i] so thank you.”[/color] Chelsea said in Japanese. She had a specific tone of voice, that shows she’s been hurting for a very long time with her decisions. It sucked a bit much for the whole thing. She took a small bite of her apple pie, with a slight happy smile on her face. However, something in specific made her giggle slightly, which was how Margo said Mr. Bell’s last name. It was a bit hilarious to her, which is honestly something she never really thought about. Her father tried to keep his children away from any type of vice but it stop herself from drinking alcohol anyways. [color=FFB6C1][i]”Why am I such a failure? I guess its good I have kept away from smoking…”[/i][/color] Chelsea thought to herself, with a slight sigh. She wanted to cry right now but tried to look at the positive side of things, even though there isn’t one. Her only friend in NeoTokyo is dead and is stuck in a tiny hole unable to get out of her depression. However, the only reason why she thought that is only because of what Takashi-senpai said to Chris Bell and Margo-san. Chelsea couldn’t help but giggle at what Chris said to her. Why would she try to hit on someone if he reminded of her dad, which wouldn’t be a good thing. It made her feel a bit disgusted about that, however. This isn’t Alabama where that would be slightly acceptable of a thing to do. However, she did notice his smirk after he patted her on the shoulder, which made her shake her head. [color=FFB6C1]”Y-Yeah, my father is definitely a good man Chris. I wonder if you would recognize his name? Gregory Ryan O’Connell, retired Lt. General of the Marine Corps.”[/color] Chelsea replied to Chris in English only to see his reaction to her father's name. She hoped the reaction is good, since she would love to see it. However, she lost her smirk. She noticed Daiyu nodding to her, which made her have a gentle smile on her face. It’s a bit obvious Chelsea does enjoy clothes shopping a bit too much. However, this kimono she’s wearing definitely fit her tastes. It took her a bit off guard with the compliment that Daiyu gave her. [color=FFB6C1]”T-Thanks for the Compliment Daiyu.”[/color] Chelsea said, in Japanese with a smile. However, in the back of her mind, it felt like a somewhat of a backhanded compliment. She couldn’t really help but just sigh and drop what her mind is thinking, however. Her thoughts were interrupted when Ashton talked about Ms. Bykov it took her a bit off guard. She never knew that her frontal lobe was completely damaged. [i][color=FFB6C1]”I still have a feeling Ms. Bykov would… still be mean to me with what I’ve done.”[/color][/i] Chelsea thought to herself. She shook her head a bit and looked directly at Ashton. However, she was going to say something a bit supportive of what he is trying to do. With what he said about her having a bit of wealth kinda felt a bit insulting to her. She basically sighed and huffed a bit, at what Ashton said. It didn’t help she did not want to cause a scene. [color=FFB6C1]”A-Ashton, that was a bit rude don’t you think? But I guess I do deserve being insulted for what… I have done in my life. I don’t really know how Gregory would react to this proposal. He's right now the Interim CEO for the Halifax Corporation since my mother hasn't fully recovered from her heart attack. However, it is a nice proposal for me, but I don’t really think it would repair my relations with Ms. Bykov.”[/color] Chelsea said in English with a depressed tone in her voice. It’s still nice she repaired her relations with her younger sister Silvia. However, she mostly said her father’s name only to see how Chris would react to it with a slight smile on her face. Chelsea, however got interrupted with her thoughts of happiness about repairing at least her family’s relationship. The person who interrupted her was no other than Margo-san, which finally realized what she had said to him. [color=FFB6C1]”U-Um… I knew your name Margo-san, only because of I looked at the public file on you in the NSF Database. I only looked as far as, your name. It’s a cute name after all.”[/color] Chelsea said in Japanese to Margo. She did enjoy the cuteness of Margo’s full name, no matter what could’ve been in the public file. However, when Margo said specifically what he said, it made Chelsea straight up giggle about it. It was just too damned funny, which was bit too much for her. This caused her to realize many things, however the first thing she realized is Margo should really be a comedian. [color=FFB6C1]”Margo-san, you should be a comedian… one of these days. It would be a good stand up act. However, I don’t really know about… stand up comedy in Japan though.”[/color] Chelsea said in Japanese, again. However, in the back of her mind the one thing she thought about was she shouldn’t ever be happy again. It was a depressing thing, but she didn’t really have much choice in the matter since Guarri Nobunaga owns her. She had no real idea, what her master was doing or planning but then she remembered, exactly what he said to her. It made her have a slight flashback about it, which it was basically before she went to the NSF via the Hattori Akechi contract. [i][color=FFB6C1]”...Redemption… how long will that take? I always wonder that with what you said Master Guarri...”[/color][/i] Chelsea thought to herself, which left her in a bit of an odd thing. [hr] [hider=Chelsea’s Flashback] In the Guarri Ace Strip Club, which is where the owner of the establishment was in his office yet again counting up the yen his property made for him. It did help that he had Chelsea, one of the most popular of his property. He looked at the time and sighed a bit and called Chelsea into his office with the intercom system of his establishment. It’s mostly because he was slightly frustrated at the NSF/Hattori Contract mostly. [color=F7976A]”Chelsea, can you please come here. I need to talk to you.”[/color] Nobunaga said. He had a slight tone of sadness, in seeing her go to the NSF of all things. However, he’s completely neutral in that shadow war better to be not bothered about that when there’s money to be made. Chelsea walked into her master’s office with a slight nervousness to her. She does know of the constant updates of the NSF/Hattori Contract. However, the only reason why she was nervous is how she heard her master’s slight tone of sadness. It was a bit terrifying, however she was wearing her [i]waitress uniform[/i] since that’s what she is supposed to wear. [color=FFB6C1]”Y-Yes, Master Guarri?”[/color] Chelsea said, nervously in Japanese. She couldn’t really shake off that Guarri Nobunaga wanted to humiliate her again for something else she did. Nobunaga laughed slightly at seeing his most popular property being nervous. It was always a great thing to deal with the scared American. He stopped counting his money, which caused him to stand up and walk over to Chelsea. It took him awhile to figure out what to do, however. He had a massive grin on his face and did something unexpected, which was give Chelsea a head pat. [color=F7976A]”I must say Chelsea you have doing much better with the last client you had. You followed their instructions to the letter.”[/color] Nobunaga said, with a massive smirk on his face. Chelsea had a shiver down her spine happen, when her master stood up and walked to her, which caused her to be utterly terrified. She closed her eyes since she doesn’t really know what he does, however. She felt his hand on her head, patting it. It was so odd to say the least, which caused her to look directly up towards her master with a definite confused look on her face. The only problem to the whole situation is that her master Guarri Nobunaga was 6’4” tall. [color=FFB6C1]”U-Um… Master Guarri… Why did you do that? Uhh, yeah… he creeped me out a bit with what he had me… wear.”[/color] Chelsea said, with a slight confusion in her voice and agreeing with her master at the same time. Nobunaga looked down towards Chelsea, however. He had a slight thought in his head, since he did remember that client didn’t have any complaints. However, hearing what Chelsea had said basically gave up the ghost basically. He deeply sighed with a slight bit of annoyance, that one specific client is so disturbing in most cases. Uesugi Shin’ichi, which is one of the clients, he hates dealing with. He does run the most well known black market weapon dealer known as the Jahrin Incorporation, in terms of Uesugi Shin’ichi. [color=F7976A]”I did that for the only reason, you need to at least cheer up somewhat. However, you won’t be needing to worry about [i]Uesugi-san[/i]. It’s only because of the fact you will be in the NSF soon.”[/color] Nobunaga said, with a sigh about the whole situation with Uesugi Shin’ichi. He has much bigger fish to fry over what’s going on with Uesugi-san’s creepiness. Chelsea blinked a bit when her master say cheer up, however. It didn’t feel like she needed to cheer up since she’s still under his wishes or whatever he wants to do with her. [color=FFB6C1]”M-Master Guarri, you are giving me false hope you know that right?”[/color] Chelsea questioned. However, she was mostly confused in what he meant about Uesugi-san in question. She doesn’t really question it because it isn’t her place to. [i][color=FFB6C1]”T-Thank god… he’s too creepy for my liking… even more so than Hattori Akechi’s wife....”[/color][/i] Chelsea thought to herself, with a definite smile on her face. In a sense, what Nobunaga said definitely gave her a reason to cheer up somewhat. Nobunaga smiled at what she questioned him, however. He did notice her smile and that she did cheer up slightly about hearing something about that guy. Therefore, he removed his hand from her head and seriously got down to business. [color=F7976A]”I must say, you are pretty smart for someone so dumb for allowing your incompetence get the better of you. Is the only reason why I gave you false hope most of the time. However, its time for business. I will be letting you do your assigned task by Hattori Akechi in terms of going to the NSF. I only want one thing from you, a promise.”[/color] Nobunaga said. He knew that she will probably ask something like what kind of promise. In terms of Chelsea’s blatant talking points, were a bit weak most of the time. Chelsea sighed when Nobunaga said that, which meant he was still angry at the specific thing she did. It caused her to look directly into his eyes, and wonder what he meant. [color=FFB6C1]”...What kind of promise, Master Guarri?” B-But I will promise nonetheless.”[/color] Chelsea said with a bit of a tinge of fear. She couldn’t help but feel like if she didn’t promise anyway something bad might happen to her. However, she just sighed at the whole thing. Nobunaga laughs slightly at Chelsea, he was slightly amused at the whole situation. It definitely showed that she definitely learned being his property, however. Her training is still going to be a long road, which he’s going to enjoy. [color=F7976A]”Nice you’ve learned about what my property has to do. However, I must say do you truly know about the Experimental Medication you are taking or do you just believe your parents?”[/color] Nobunaga asked, with a bit of feeling a bit sorry for Chelsea in question. It’s like she never really questioned her parents at all, when all her parents were doing was punishing their daughter in a more cruel way. The blind leading the blind it seems, which kinda disgusted him. However, he feels this way because he had to go to his brothers and sisters funeral after Hattori Akechi murdered them all. [i][color=F7976A]”I am a bit in disbelief, that Chelsea is blindly following her parent’s advice in taking that bloody god awful drug. I learned about the truth of that drug and… its awful. I will make sure she still pays for her crimes against Hattori Naomi, which will cause me to stop her from doing anything that will harm herself. I will make sure she’ll become so broken, she will ask for me to save her. Then I will rebuild her to become my most perfect property for this establishment. She’ll definitely have children for what I have planned.”[/color][/i] Nobunaga thought to himself, with a definite look of Chelsea is still totally naive. She’s only acting like she doesn’t know what her parents are doing to her. Chelsea didn’t really know what her master was saying, what does that mean exactly. It on her face as clear as day, it was heavily confused. [color=FFB6C1]”...I must take it to keep the voices out. Unless it does something more than that?”[/color] Chelsea asked, curiously. She doesn’t want to fail her parents yet again by not taking the Hyper Reactive Suppressants. Nobunaga deeply sighs in hearing that and walks over to his desk, to take out the truth about the Hyper Reactive Suppressants. It was on a document he had since a year ago, which was a bit much to learn exactly what the drug does. However, what she said definitely made sense in what the first thing it does do. He hands over her the findings of the Experimental Medication, which is definitely close to being a cure for Suicidal thoughts. [color=F7976A]”Read this, you’ll be interested to see it. The Truth of the Hyper Reactive Suppressants. There’s a reason why I wanted you to promise me, to never [i]tell your parents[/i] you know the truth of this drug.”[/color] Nobunaga said, with a bit of a slight smile on his face. Chelsea couldn’t believe her master Guarri had documents on the Experimental Medication, which she takes every year. However, the document* in question was put into her hand by Master Guarri to read it. It was definitely shocking in some cases, however. She had some hypothesis on what exactly the drug did to her. It made sense now in why her father basically told her what he would do if she would get anyone killed in Japan by her mistakes. In terms, it could be worse she supposed would have been allowed to kill herself, if her parents truly didn’t care for her. She looked directly at her master with a bit of suspicion because it was too convenient in how he got this. However, she didn’t really know whom would leak this overprotective information about the Hyper Reactive Suppressants. [color=FFB6C1]”M-Master Guarri… I would like to know where you got this information? I had my own reservations on this drug but I took it because my parents wanted to protect me. They aren’t monsters, you are for causing me to have to take it in the first place. If it wasn’t for you my life would be so much different… They know I know more than I let on about the Hyper Reactive Suppressants. B-But I do agree with you…”[/color] Chelsea said, with a bit of frustration in the whole thing. She was annoyed her master basically trying to blackmail her parents for what he did to Silvia and her, all those years ago. Nobunaga raised his eye brow, when told him about knowing about what the Hyper Reactive Suppressants. It took him a bit to realize the fact, she was highly intelligent one of the greatest minds in United States of America alike her mother and father basically. This point still shocks him about her IQ, which is 135. However, he has plans for Chelsea that he won’t ever go away from. [color=F7976A]”Aha, I constantly forget how smart you are Chelsea. It’s probably because of how beautiful you are and you look like a porno star rather than an heiress. I can’t give you where I got this information. You are a definite interesting woman, compared to most of my property. However, I would have seen you as something more than property more like a lover to be honest.”[/color] Nobunaga said, with a definite tone of annoyance in his voice. He wanted to see what Chelsea’s response would be to his lover comment. However, he knew her better than she knew herself, because of the fact she’s basically forced to be an emotional wreck and following orders to the letter otherwise. Chelsea sighed deeply with what Nobunaga had said, it was insulting to say the least. However, she didn’t really like the insult calling her a porno star than an heiress. [color=FFB6C1]”M-Master Guarri, that’s rude. But I would never be your lover with what you are. A monster who’s hiding some dark secrets.”[/color] Chelsea said, basically to outright reject him. It was mostly because of the fact he was insulting her too much and constantly tormenting her. Nobunaga laughed slightly at what she said, however. He was honest to her, however, it would have been lovely to be married with a woman who knew all the Dialects in Japan but not the culture. This girl who got Hattori Naomi killed because of her incompetence only require one thing right now. It’s punishment and having her children sold to the highest bidder when he wants her to have children. [color=F7976A]”I was actually serious about what I was saying. However, you had to be completely incompetent and an alcoholic dumb ass [i]whore[/i] who didn’t go with Hattori Naomi. If it wasn’t for you she would be still alive. I loved her deeply I was trying to save her from her damned father. However, she was too naive to realize her father is so cruel that he will never stop being a bastard.”[/color] Nobunaga said, with a slight anger in his tone. He lifted his hand up and came close to slapping Chelsea on the face. However, he stopped himself from doing it since its not time for her to be punished that way with being beaten unlike no other. Because she’s still useful as a prostitute and soon now a NSF Agent. Chelsea’s eyes went wide when his emotions came out about his lost of Hattori Naomi. Its seems the person that she actually pissed off wasn’t Hattori Akechi but Guarri Nobunaga. This made her shiver in fear because she couldn’t help but feel like a worthless human being for not realizing what these two people’s relationship were. [color=FFB6C1]”M-Master Guarri… I-I’m so sorry for my failure in protecting her… B-But what are you saying?”[/color] Chelsea questioned with a slight confusion in her voice. However, it feels like that Guarri Nobunaga knows what Hattori Naomi said to her or something. Nobunaga sighed, he wished he didn’t say that out loud to her. Chelsea kinda reminds him of Hattori Naomi being always for the family and not much else. It is true that Chelsea’s parents mean well, but her uncle was the one that leaked the information. However, he doesn’t want to spill that since they have an agreement with each other. In terms of how Chelsea reacted basically gives him a hint that Hattori Akechi said something about Chelsea’s mother Fiona. [color=F7976A]”Its going to take a long time before I accept that apology Chelsea. But you remind me of her, since you follow your heart and idealistic beliefs until you lost everything. However, in this case, Hattori Naomi lost her life and all you did was become my property for all time. I’m sorry for yelling at you but don’t try to do anything that will make me hit you, Chelsea. And regret it.”[/color] Nobunaga said, with a slight truthful behavior about it. He always will miss Hattori Naomi, she was always a great person. Chelsea was a bit shocked to hear that from her master, which felt a bit depressing to her. She was being reminded about her awful decisions from the person who owns her as property. However, it felt like he was going to say something that would shock her. [color=FFB6C1]”Uhh.. Master? What are you trying to get at?”[/color] Chelsea asked, with a slight confusion. She hadn’t had any real knowledge of how close her master and her friend was besides acknowledging they were going to be married. Nobunaga looked at Chelsea and walked back to his seat so he wouldn’t be so close to Chelsea, which was always a bit annoying to be honest. He wanted to wait for the breaking her down completely than rebuilding her right now. [color=F7976A]”I have to ask one specific question, what were Hattori Naomi’s final words to you? Did they involve [i]’But you… had... to… make… me… a bigger fool than you?[/i] I do want to see you have a redemption so to speak in the NSF but it’ll take you a long time to gain their trust since what you’ve done.”[/color] Nobunaga said, with a serious tone in his voice. He waited to hear Chelsea’s response. Chelsea eyes went wide when she heard what her master had said, it was shocking. She started to cry about the whole thing, it caused her to fall down on her knees and couldn’t help but feel like she was specifically worthless. [color=FFB6C1]”...Y-Yes it was those exact words… Master Guarri.”[/color] Chelsea said with tears going down her eyes. However, her eyes went dim because of she does cry a bit too much. It didn’t take too much time but Chelsea basically promised after her cries, to say she won’t be coming back to the Strip Club. That would be too much of a problem dealing with him right now. Nobunaga laughed at what she said but reminded her that he’s her property and will never be able to get out of that. However, he did tell her that if she truly does Redeem herself he’ll let her go and live with her parents. But it’ll take a long time to properly redeem herself for her utter incompetence most people within Japan are honorable people. She knew her master was basically lying about freeing her, but she nodded anyway trying to believe in hope against hope it was true. It took her to a bit to leave his office after that horrid conversation, it was definitely not what she was expecting to be honest. Basically being constantly reminded about what she did by her master Guarri and everyone else that knows about whom Hattori Naomi’s Bodyguard is. She knows she fucked up but it hurt that Hattori Naomi said the exact same words to the letter to Guarri Nobunaga as she did her. This flashback ends, as of now it was only because Chelsea snaps back into reality. [hider=* – The Truth of Hyper Reactive Suppressants] It was created by the Halifax Corporation Subdivision Eight, however. It was ordered by Fiona K. O’Connell to save her daughter Chelsea. Hyper Reactive Suppressants, which completely suppresses the individual’s entire mental state in a stagnate form. It creates two separate personalities, which the first one is constantly depressed and crying with no positive emotions. Only fear, of what she has done or the helplessness of being worthless to people that sees her as inferior. It doesn’t help that its how she is normally anyways, with the fact she tries not to be so trusting and naive again. However, the second personality is basically the opposite, she’s happy, kind and chipper but doesn’t talk much only to do her assigned tasks that she is given. It’s basically one’s about work and no play, and the other is basically about pitying herself. There’s an additional thing, to this whole thing. It must be taken once by mouth, once a year with any liquid. However, if she hears any of the keywords involving the voices in her head. It will cause her to be completely hopeless and docile for a total of 8 hours. However, the only good thing is, if she is drinking alcohol, which will cause her to be in this docile state for only 15 minutes. In terms, it causes her to be even more emotionally unstable and very anti-social. It usually takes around 3 months of being around people for her to finally open up and talk about her problems. The biggest deterrent using this suppressant is basically she’ll always feel not completely safe and be slightly paranoid. No matter what, she’ll be permanently stuck in a loop of the most horrible thing that happened to her. In terms of having nightmares about seeing people dying in front of her own eyes, which she knows. These nightmares are so terrifying since it is a few people outright murdering her mother, father, sister, everyone else she knows and loves and leaving her in a cage being a slave. The person in question that was doing all these awful things is someone named Hattori Akechi. However, this nightmare was jotted down and there’s specifically a note written by her father. It shows on the note, it was written on 2012, which was the year of when she was forced to take this drug in the first place. Only because of the voices, which was in her head before this drug and she wanted to end it completely. This obviously was pointing out that this entire nightmare scenario happened only the first time she took the suppressant. These nightmares were very precise in whom they were trying to talk about in terms of Chelsea’s and her family’s life. Premonition Nightmares, which is the term is called some form of foresight but the user doesn’t really understand the nightmares in question. Additionally, it shows that Gregory doesn’t want this to happen not at all.[/hider][/hider] [hr] Her flashback ends and she looks carefully around the room, hopefully no one noticed her stop talking for awhile. However, most people here would probably enjoy her if she didn’t talk since its always better to talk to a wall than someone who’s a complete failure. She couldn’t really figure out why her master Guarri told her all those things. However, she started to cry because the exact final words of Hattori Naomi stung her the most. [color=FFB6C1][i]”...W-Why did Master Guarri have to tell me those words again… Her final words to me stung really big time. I miss Hattori Naomi… deeply… I feel utterly terrible for… drinking on the job when I had a job to do. I wonder, who leaked those documents of my Experimental Medication to Guarri Nobunaga… and how long he had them.”[/i][/color] Chelsea thought to herself, with tears going down her face. Her eyes dim because of her tears, however. She slowly tries to stop herself from crying since she was at a High Tea Party and needs to stop it. Chelsea takes awhile to calm herself down by sipping on her tea for a bit. However, it helped slightly and looked at the host of the High Tea Party. She sits her tea cup down gently. [color=FFB6C1]”Takashi-senpai, I am happy that I was here at this party. It kinda reminds me of the dinners, my family had at home since they are always about formal outfits… more so than casual. My mother Fiona Kayla O’Connell enjoys these type of events much...”[/color] Chelsea said in Japanese to Takashi. It was mostly a compliment to the whole thing since her mother do enjoy these type of events. Culture exchange is one of her tenants as a CEO, however, her father is the interim CEO right now.
