【Additional Appearance Info:

Shizu is a woman who presents herself in the best ways she can. Her golden hair is braided every morning before she sets out for her rounds, before she sets out for her missions. Or anything of the sort. She takes on anything with fierce, yet soft azure eyes that speak of something dark, something tormented down to the foundation of her soul. Something about how she presents herself just gives off that vibe, even when she wears her usual shihakusho, which is unedited aside from the fact that in place of the white sash, she has a cornflower blue one in its place. Because of her average height, Shizu keeps her zanpakuto on her waist. It always rests on her right side on account of her being left-handed. Her body is lean with average muscle-to-bone ratios. Lastly, her skin is fair and flawless.

【Biography:

Shizu doesn’t remember much about her life as a human. She might’ve had a family or a couple of siblings. Who knows? She died rather early into her living life. She was probably five or so when she died. In the human realm, that would have been around 1604 or so. From then on, she spent most of her life in Rukongai. She spent most of her adolescent life with a good family. They weren’t rich nor were they poor. They treated her well enough as to not warrant any unhappiness. To be frank, Shizu, by all rights, had no right to complain. And she didn’t. Not about any of it.

But just because Shizu’s life was good, that didn’t mean that she herself wasn’t. To put it another way, Shizu was experiencing abnormalities from within her own self. Whether it was the cause of some exposure to unstable reiatsu or something else entirely wasn’t brought to her knowledge. But, on one horrible night, Shizu lost all that she held dear. It was as if in the matter of a moment, both of those who had raised her since she first arrived in the Seireitei, were gone. And the worst thing about it was that she didn’t how it happened. One minute she was holding her preteen head, begging for it to stop, and then — poof! They were gone.

And thus began her mental breakdown.

At that time, she was not yet trained to control her reiatsu, not yet able to dictate where it would surge and where it would be targeted. So, when she realized that she might just be the cause of the deaths of the couple that practically raised her, she lost it. Her reiatsu flowed uncontrolled, and erratically. It burst through the walls of her home, through the door, through the ceiling. It spread everywhere within a five meter circumference, destroying about ten buildings with over two dozen people in those homes. Most of them were criminals, but some of them were innocents. And that weighed on her soul. So much so that she fled the scene, never to look back. But she wouldn’t be on the run for long.

Some months after fleeing, someone tracked her down. It was somebody who looked to be a Shinigami. Shizu could recall that day. It was a tall man. His hair was golden like the sun and eyes green like emerald. He wasn’t the most tactful man she had ever meant at the time, but when he spoke to her, she found herself in absolute silence. He told her that he knew exactly who she was and what she had done, but that didn’t matter. What did matter was that they knew her and that she had incredible spiritual energy. So much so that they would like to personally invite her to join the Shi’no Academy. Or as most in Rukongai know it by, Shinigami Academy. As one might imagine, Shizu thought it was a joke or something. SOmeone like her, who had done the things she did, couldn’t possibly be important enough for such a prestigious academy like that. But, as this golden-haired Shinigami would inform her, she was, in fact, that damn important.

So, shizu went with him. She followed his lead to Shi’no Academy, and would work to hone her skills and hope to control the power within her.

Years passed and Shizu did just that. First was the entrance exam, whcih proved to be difficult on its own. Regardless, she passed it with above-average flying colors. After she was examined of what she excelled at and what she needed to work on, she had her placement tests. She did well in Zanjutsu and Hakuda, average in Hoho, but was below-average in Kido. Though, it was interesting for her instructors to find out that Shizu’s perception was high despite not having much talent for the act of kido itself(spells).

Skip forward about six years, and that’s where we have one graduate of Shi’no Academy, Shizukesa Dai Shinji. She traded in her Shi’no Academy shihakusho for her Shinigami variation. Not long after, she was placed in the fifth seat of Division 10. Somewhere down the line, she went through various promotions where she was appointed the lieutenant of Division Ten.

This was five years ago.

What happened over the next couple of days would drastically change the way that Shizu had operated. There was a coup of sorts involving a good number of the captains of the Gotei Thirteen, including Shizu’s captain. Left with the feeling of betrayal, she fled with those that were able to get away. What she knew about her captain was no longer what she felt now. For the first time in a long time, Shizu felt the creeping fear bubbling up to the surface. She would be never be the same again..

【Personality:

Don’t let Shizu’s tendency to remain silent as a sign of weakness. As a woman, she isn’t intimidating, but she holds a certain presence that should speak for itself. Her shifting eye glances tend to speak volumes. She absorbs the facial expressions of others. She knows exactly what to look for. This is where her observant skills come into play. Shizu has incredible intuition. Whether it stems from extensive training or some innate ability, it's undeniable that it's one of her defining traits.

Instead of letting the other person talk, Shizu does it for them, often going on a rant about why they are a certain way, how they act, what they might think or say to her or about her. Some have noted that she uses this as a way to deter those who vye to get close to her. Or get past the wall she puts between herself and others. That is to say that she keeps people at an arm’s length. Something it’s intentional, and sometimes it’s bad habits resurfacing. Regardless, she does this a lot, and it tends to get on people’s nerves. Whoops.

When in meetings with her captain or any other superior, Shizu is, if nothing else, professional and concise. You will never meet a more efficient person when it comes to reporting for missions and giving the end-mission reports to whoever may be the squad leader of said mission. Her ability to remember every exact detail is the highest of all lieutenants. If not, then she will have to fix that, now won’t she?

Zanpakuto Information

Sealed State

_{~"I am just the calm before the storm."~}

Additional Description:

In her sealed state, Kakegoe takes the form of an ordinary katana. Her hilt is blue and dim grey, meanwhile her sheath, though of blue shade, has a darker tone of grey akin to storm clouds. She has a square handguard, and her blade is chrome silver, and curves slightly at the tip. She’s usually kept around the hip of Shizu due to the latter’s average height.

Inner World & Spirit:

Kakegoe’s inner-world is a frozen tundra that is cursed by a continuous storm that alternates between extreme, high-pressured winds, explosive, random lightning storms, hail that comes down at nearly fifty miles-per-hour, rain that is enough to drown a collosus in seconds, and near-absolute zero temperatures. Alternatively, there could be an absence of all of the aforementioned weather conditions due to the intense heat. It’s all dependent on two factors. Number one, the state of mind of Kakegoe herself, and number two, Shizu’s emotional state. If she is angry, it will be like the inside of a volcano. If she’s feeling depressed, it’ll be colder than the arctic.

The clouds are either pure white from the icy winds or black as obsidian from the storms, or they could be red-hot from the blazing, fiery anger that either Kakegoe or Shizu - or both - feel.

Kakegoe is a beautiful zanpakuto spirit. She has skin like caramel and hair like snow. A body with curves in right places. Her eyes are also something of perfection. They glow, always, with a deep blue color. She usually wears a a bra and underwear outfit due to the fact that she prefers not to hide her features. She does not, however, fancy shoes. Her voice is sultry and often noted by Shizu as being just a bit too suggestive.

Zanpakuto Personality:

To describe Kakegoe would be to describe a storm. She is relentless about certain things. She is unpredictable. She is comforting. She is understanding. She is unforgiving. But above all things, Kakegoe is a bitch. Yes, you read correct. Shizu cannot express enough how much she wants to hate Kakegoe. This is not to say she is without her ups, but the fact that she has flat out denied Shizu the option to learn bankai without a single reason given aside from “because I said so, that’s why,” was enough reason for Shizu to have the preconception that her zanpakuto is one grade-A bitch.

But that couldn’t be further from the truth.

It’s not that Kakegoe is difficult. She might be according to Shizu, but the fact of the matter is that she fears for Shizu. As hard as it might be for her to believe, Kakegoe knows what enduring Bankai would do to her. The fact that Shizu hasn’t even mastered the final ability of Shikai is proof enough. She admires Shizu’s will to get stronger, but out of respect for her, Kakegoe had to deny her in the harshest of ways. Regardless if it created a rift between them. But one day, Kakegoe knows that Shizu will be ready. When that day comes, Kakegoe will fully embrace her desire to learn bankai.

---

Shikai

_{~"Expunge, Kakegoe(掛け声 'Squall')"~}

Kakegoe’s form does not change dramatically from her sealed state upon release. The only notable change is that it becomes surrounded by a thick layer of stormy reiatsu that have three aspects to it: the first is it generates a small, continuous breeze within a half-meter distance away from it. The second is that the air in that same circumference is as if an icy wind has passed. And the final is that it sounds like crackling lightning. All three aspects, when she is swung, Kakegoe will demonstrate(see techniques for more details.)

Ability:
Thought originally to be an ice-based zanpakuto, recent reveals show that Kakegoe is, in fact much more than that. Much like her namesake, Kakegoe is a squall. Her main ability is known as Kakegoegyo(Squall Line). It is the point of a squall where thunderstorms and cold fronts and high-speed gusts of wind are a definite possibility. It is the point where, during active weather, regardless if it’s natural or artificial, Kakegoe’s ability lies. With her at Shizu’s disposal, the latter can manipulate her reiatsu to either manipulate existing storm clouds in the surrounding area or send her reiatsu into the air to drop the temperature drastically, and cause a progressing storm to happen

Techniques

Hider

Kazakiri(_剪断Wind Shear):
Kazakiri is the first of techniques that Shizu learned from Kakegoe. It’s also the most basic of techniques she knows. Either by motioning Kakegoe horizontally or vertically, it will send invisible reiatsu flying outward that will manipulate the atmosphere to cause an increase of wind speed. Regardless if she motions Kakegoe vertically or horizontally, it will have the same effect: A right angle-shaped arc of lightning and high wind currents will begin to form in a 3m area. Within that area, random strikes of lightning are bound to happen to any and all in that area of effect. Those outside are still suspect to minor shock and/or wind damage. Additionally, minor wind blades will form after a certain amount of time has passed. It should be noted that this technique, while able to be used at any given moment, is definitely her weakest of abiltiies. As such, it should be expected that the max amount of damage one takes is not equal to that of a lieutenent-level attack.

Jōshō Kiryū(_上昇気流Rising Air Current):.
By utilizing the clouds above, Shizu is able to manipulate it with her reiatsu to cause a vertical updraft of hot or cool air down upon a target of her choosing. Since it’s more controlled than Kazakiri, she can dictate who or what she motions Kakegoe to strike. When she swings upward, the hot and cold air is gathered, and surrounds Shizu, flowing down around the blue aura of Kakegoe. Shizu knows when the preparation is complete by when she gets a feeling of both stress and comfort.

Kakō kiryū (_下降気流Rising Air Current):
When Shizu swings downward, the hot and cold air gathered around Kakegoe releases in an arc of semi-transparent reiatsu that is half-light blue, half-crimson. The arc aims at whoever is in the direct line of sight of Kakegoe’s tip. Upon contact, there will be a two-part effect. The first will be a strong sensation of heat flowing through their body, momentarily rendering them immobilized by it, then comes the chill. The shift from hot to cold happens in a matter of seconds. Due to that, it will have disastrous effects on whoever is struck.

Throughout all of this, there is one underlying limit to how strong the sensations of heat and cold are: Shizu’s one mental state at the time of using this technique. Assuming she is even and completely calm, the effects will be at half-strength of maximum potency. That, of course, would only give half as much the feverish sensation as it would the cold chill. Now, given that Shizu is in a melancholy state, the hot air will have little to no effect on the target, but the cold chill is another story. The same could be said if she was in a vivid rage. The hot air, much like fire, is of passion. And when she would be passionate with anger, the hot air will be at maximum potency, while the cold air will be as if a mild gust of icy wind past through - felt, but easily shrugged off.

Despite that all, however, whether there is maximum hot air potency or cold air, it will be for nothing if Shizu could bring herself to utilizing it at full power. For her to this, she must be willing to yield herself to Kakegoe’s will, something, even as her master, she hasn’t been able to do for quite some time. Not since the coup happened.

Hiyazemen(_冷前面Cold Front):
Considered to be Kakegoe’s most powerful - and most dangeorus - shikai ability, Hiyazemen is aa technique in which requires Shizu to focus her reiryoku into the atmosphere surrounding her, and dropping the temperature to below freezing temperatures(0 degrees Celsius, 32 Degrees Fahrenheit). Once this is accomplished, pure white mist flows from the hilt and up of Kakegoe’s blade at high speeds, and surrounds the surrounding environment in a 3m-6m radius with Shizu at the very edge of it and her intended target at the center. Then, as Shizu stabs Kakegoe into the ground, her reiatsu is felt as the mist starts to solidify around both Shizu and her target. It gets to the point where they are both inside a dome of ice, reinforced by Shizu’s own spiritual power.

Once secured, Shzu will then raise Kakegoe into the air, letting Kakegoe herself float into the air, and spin around until the sight of her blade is nothing but a rotating, blade of blue reiatsu. As Kakegoe increases the velocity of her spinning, icy winds stard to develop, gathering around her. By Shizu’s command, a mini-tornado, blue and white in color, appears with Kakegoe in the dead center. It’s not a tall tornado; it’s as high as Shizu stands. When Shizu places her hand forward, the tornado unleashes a series of freezing gusts of air, continuous and ever-flowing.

It should be noted it’s in the incomplete phases. Shizu has not fully mastered it. As such, using it, while it may have negative effects for whoever is caught within its radius, will have the worst effects done directly to Shizu. Among the obvious lack of control she would have over it, it will undoubtedly deplete her reiryoku drastically, not to mention that frostbite is an unavoidable side effect too. Additionally, due to lack of mastery, the maximum power at which Hiyazeman can be utilized is ten percent shy of half-maximum power. The longer the dome remains in effect and the more gusts of cold air is shot at her target, the frostbite will start to increase until the point focus cannot remain. Should Shizu lose more than half of her focus, or if Kakegoe suspects it’s too much for her, she will cut off the technique immediately, and return to her sealed form.

Not long after, she was placed in the fifth seat of Division 10. Somewhere down the line, she went through various promotions where she was appointed the lieutenant of Division Ten.

This was five years ago.

In the present, much like most of her peers and superiors, Shizu is in hiding of sorts in the Living World, unable to return to her home due to an invading group of unknown enemies. If there was just one thing she wished, it would to go back home. If only it were that easy..

Zanpakuto Information

Sealed State

_{~"I am just the calm before the storm."~}

Additional Description:

In her sealed state, Kakegoe takes the form of an ordinary katana. Her hilt is blue and dim grey, meanwhile her sheath, though of blue shade, has a darker tone of grey akin to storm clouds. She has a square handguard, and her blade is chrome silver, and curves slightly at the tip. She’s usually kept around the hip of Shizu due to the latter’s average height.

Inner World & Spirit:

Kakegoe’s inner-world is a frozen tundra that is cursed by a continuous storm that alternates between extreme, high-pressured winds, explosive, random lightning storms, hail that comes down at nearly fifty miles-per-hour, rain that is enough to drown a collosus in seconds, and near-absolute zero temperatures. Alternatively, there could be an absence of all of the aforementioned weather conditions due to the intense heat. It’s all dependent on two factors. Number one, the state of mind of Kakegoe herself, and number two, Shizu’s emotional state. If she is angry, it will be like the inside of a volcano. If she’s feeling depressed, it’ll be colder than the arctic.

The clouds are either pure white from the icy winds or black as obsidian from the storms, or they could be red-hot from the blazing, fiery anger that either Kakegoe or Shizu - or both - feel.

Kakegoe is a beautiful zanpakuto spirit. She has skin like caramel and hair like snow. A body with curves in right places. Her eyes are also something of perfection. They glow, always, with a deep blue color. She usually wears a a bra and underwear outfit due to the fact that she prefers not to hide her features. She does not, however, fancy shoes.

But that couldn’t be further from the truth.

It’s not that Kakegoe is difficult. She might be according to Shizu, but the fact of the matter is that she fears for Shizu. As hard as it might be for her to believe, Kakegoe knows what enduring Bankai would do to her. The fact that Shizu hasn’t even mastered the final ability of Shikai is proof enough. She admires Shizu’s will to get stronger, but out of respect for her, Kakegoe had to deny her in the harshest of ways. Regardless if it created a rift between them. But one day, Kakegoe knows that Shizu will be ready. When that day comes, Kakegoe will fully embrace her desire to learn bankai.

_{~"Expunge, Kakegoe(掛け声 'Squall')"~}

Kakegoe’s form does not change dramatically from her sealed state upon release. The only notable change is that it becomes surrounded by a thick layer of stormy reiatsu that have three aspects to it: the first is it generates a small, continuous breeze within a half-meter distance away from it. The second is that the air in that same circumference is as if an icy wind has passed. And the final is that it sounds like crackling lightning. All three aspects, when she is swung, Kakegoe will demonstrate(see techniques for more details.)

Ability:
Thought originally to be an ice-based zanpakuto, recent reveals show that Kakegoe is, in fact much more than that. Much like her namesake, Kakegoe is a squall. Her main ability is known as Kakegoegyo(Squall Line). It is the point of a squall where thunderstorms and cold fronts and high-speed gusts of wind are a definite possibility. It is the point where, during active weather, regardless if it’s natural or artificial, Kakegoe’s ability lies. With her at Shizu’s disposal, the latter can manipulate her reiatsu to either manipulate existing storm clouds in the surrounding area or send her reiatsu into the air to drop the temperature drastically, and cause a progressing storm to happen

Techniques

Hider

Kazakiri(_剪断Wind Shear):
Kazakiri is the first of techniques that Shizu learned from Kakegoe. It’s also the most basic of techniques she knows. Either by motioning Kakegoe horizontally or vertically, it will send invisible reiatsu flying outward that will manipulate the atmosphere to cause an increase of wind speed. Regardless if she motions Kakegoe vertically or horizontally, it will have the same effect: A right angle-shaped arc of lightning and high wind currents will begin to form in a 3m area. Within that area, random strikes of lightning are bound to happen to any and all in that area of effect. Those outside are still suspect to minor shock and/or wind damage. Additionally, minor wind blades will form after a certain amount of time has passed. It should be noted that this technique, while able to be used at any given moment, is definitely her weakest of abiltiies. As such, it should be expected that the max amount of damage one takes is not equal to that of a lieutenent-level attack.

Jōshō Kiryū(_上昇気流Rising Air Current):.
By utilizing the clouds above, Shizu is able to manipulate it with her reiatsu to cause a vertical updraft of hot or cool air down upon a target of her choosing. Since it’s more controlled than Kazakiri, she can dictate who or what she motions Kakegoe to strike. When she swings upward, the hot and cold air is gathered, and surrounds Shizu, flowing down around the blue aura of Kakegoe. Shizu knows when the preparation is complete by when she gets a feeling of both stress and comfort.

Kakō kiryū (_下降気流Descending Air Current):
When Shizu swings downward, the hot and cold air gathered around Kakegoe releases in an arc of semi-transparent reiatsu that is half-light blue, half-crimson. The arc aims at whoever is in the direct line of sight of Kakegoe’s tip. Upon contact, there will be a two-part effect. The first will be a strong sensation of heat flowing through their body, momentarily rendering them immobilized by it, then comes the chill. The shift from hot to cold happens in a matter of seconds. Due to that, it will have disastrous effects on whoever is struck.

Throughout all of this, there is one underlying limit to how strong the sensations of heat and cold are: Shizu’s one mental state at the time of using this technique. Assuming she is even and completely calm, the effects will be at half-strength of maximum potency. That, of course, would only give half as much the feverish sensation as it would the cold chill. Now, given that Shizu is in a melancholy state, the hot air will have little to no effect on the target, but the cold chill is another story. The same could be said if she was in a vivid rage. The hot air, much like fire, is of passion. And when she would be passionate with anger, the hot air will be at maximum potency, while the cold air will be as if a mild gust of icy wind past through - felt, but easily shrugged off.

Despite that all, however, whether there is maximum hot air potency or cold air, it will be for nothing if Shizu could bring herself to utilizing it at full power. For her to this, she must be willing to yield herself to Kakegoe’s will, something, even as her master, she hasn’t been able to do for quite some time. Not since the coup happened.

Hiyazemen(_冷前面Cold Front):
Considered to be Kakegoe’s most powerful - and most dangeorus - shikai ability, Hiyazemen is aa technique in which requires Shizu to focus her reiryoku into the atmosphere surrounding her, and dropping the temperature to below freezing temperatures(0 degrees Celsius, 32 Degrees Fahrenheit). Once this is accomplished, pure white mist flows from the hilt and up of Kakegoe’s blade at high speeds, and surrounds the surrounding environment in a 3m-6m radius with Shizu at the very edge of it and her intended target at the center. Then, as Shizu stabs Kakegoe into the ground, her reiatsu is felt as the mist starts to solidify around both Shizu and her target. It gets to the point where they are both inside a dome of ice, reinforced by Shizu’s own spiritual power.

Once secured, Shzu will then raise Kakegoe into the air, letting Kakegoe herself float into the air, and spin around until the sight of her blade is nothing but a rotating, blade of blue reiatsu. As Kakegoe increases the velocity of her spinning, icy winds stard to develop, gathering around her. By Shizu’s command, a mini-tornado, blue and white in color, appears with Kakegoe in the dead center. It’s not a tall tornado; it’s as high as Shizu stands. When Shizu places her hand forward, the tornado unleashes a series of freezing gusts of air, continuous and ever-flowing.

It should be noted it’s in the incomplete phases. Shizu has not fully mastered it. As such, using it, while it may have negative effects for whoever is caught within its radius, will have the worst effects done directly to Shizu. Among the obvious lack of control she would have over it, it will undoubtedly deplete her reiryoku drastically, not to mention that frostbite is an unavoidable side effect too. Additionally, due to lack of mastery, the maximum power at which Hiyazeman can be utilized is ten percent shy of half-maximum power. The longer the dome remains in effect and the more gusts of cold air is shot at her target, the frostbite will start to increase until the point focus cannot remain. Should Shizu lose more than half of her focus, or if Kakegoe suspects it’s too much for her, she will cut off the technique immediately, and return to her sealed form.

Roleplaying 'Productivity' Applications

When it comes to jotting down ideas, I write them down on some scratch paper so I don't forget them. Then, only after I have jotted all I can, I go to Google Docs to write it up neatly so I have it for whenever.

When it comes to collaborations specific to RP post, I go for Google Docs again. I used to use Titanpad/Piratepad/Etherpad, but that was only because I used to have Windows XP, and that's all it could handle. Now I use Gdocs for just about everything collab and cs-making-related.

As for the actual art of discussion about rps, I either use Skype or Discord. I used to use Chatzy, but like with titanpad and gdocs, I use discord primarily because I don't have a shit computer anymore.

<Snipped quote by The Elvenqueen>

Glad to know I am not the only one that does this!

@Lady Amalthea

You can add me to that list. When I was doing my prep for NaNoWriMo, I jotted down so many ideas on so many sticky notes that my entire desk is full of various sticky notes.

⊰Manifest Anima: Planes Divided⊱

_{Warehouse District → Backend District}

Floating(not literally) somewhere between the warehouse district and Backend, Dominic felt a little disheartened. He went through all of that trouble with Glitz to get to the meeting place only to arrive too late? Or maybe Dominic didn’t have the right one despite the note saying that the one he arrived at was, in fact, the one that the note he got from GLitz. By that, Dominic, at least, knew his time management skills weren’t up to par with Shinto’s.

Oh shit, Shinto. That’s right. He’s going to..

He cursed himself. Two problems presented themselves to him and there was no indication that either of them were going to be solved. First off, Dominic wasn’t able to make the meet, which meant he wasn’t able to know what the plan was. On top of that, Dominic still hadn’t gotten any word about his partner-in-crime. Maybe he’s back at the house. I’ll go there.

So Dominic would do that. He knew where he was. Backend wasn’t far. And that meant his small little shelter-of-a-house wasn’t far either. Just five minutes of walking to Backend, then three more minutes worth of turns, and Dominic was good to go.

His hand reached out for his door, and it budged open, pushing Dominic half a pace to the left. “What the—” Before Dominic could get the rest of his thought out, the person who had shoved him came at him with a bronze dagger. This person was masked, but apparently knew who he wanted.

On reflexes alone, Dominic dodged three straight stabs. The next one caught his shoulder, grazing it slightly. His attacker lunged forward, the right knee aimed at Dominic’s gut. He caught it with one hand. The attacker quickly contorted their body, a small wind-like aura gathering. It brushed Dominic away a full pace.

When Dominic regained his composure, his attacker hurled a gust of wind straight at him. In response, Dominic pushed his right arm forward, sending a surge of red lightning to converge with this gust of transparent wind. The lightning overwhelmed it and charged the wind-user, forcing them back a pace, and their body making a notable thud through the door of Dominic’s home.

In the midst of that, Dominic could had sworn that he heard a grunt of a man.

Taking advantage, Dominic rushed forward, only to be at the opposite end of a gust of wind. This time, however, it was in too close proximity for Dominic to counter. He was forced to take it on with all of his bulky muscles. Thankfully, those very muscles were able to absorb the attack, which led Dominic’s arms cut up with shallow grazes. Blood dripped minimally from them, and Dominic was on the floor.

His attacker used this opportunity to speed over Dominic, and started to run away. “Stop!” Dominic yelled, turning over. He ignored the pain. His eyes were at the running attacker, who was about five paces away. Dominic took his sweet time to get up. Just as he would get to his feet, he saw his attacker had been forced back. He saw as they were suspended in the air, They tried to wiggle free but to no avail. Dominic blinked for a moment, if not first from the pain on his arms, then from the confusion about what was happening right now.

“How is —”

Just as Dominic was about to finish, he heard someone speak.

“I leave you alone for one day and you nearly wreck our home? I sure hope my TV isn’t broken.”

Of course. That explains it. “Shinto you sneaky bastard! Where are you?” Dominic looked around, eyes scanning every possible crevice of the alleyway they lived in. That’s when Shinto stepped from behind the wall, right arm up to match how the attacker was constrained. It was Shinto’s Telekinetic abilities that was doing that. Why didn’t Dominic suspect that sooner? Oh yeah, because Shinto had been a ghost for the last twelve hours, that’s why.

“Where have you been?!” DOminic rushed over to Shinto. Not in a run, but a steady jog.

“Don’t you remember? I had to handle some business regarding — wait a minute! Why are you here in the first place? Weren’t you supposed to be at that meeting place or something? Or did Glitz not give you the right location like he was supposed to?”

“Oh, about that..”

Shinto sighed. “Let me hear it.”

“I think I got it wrong. Or I was too late, but when I got there, no one was even there.”

Another sigh, Shinto waived his right arm from his right shoulder to his left, which caused the attacker to be sent crashing against the stone wall, which in turn caused them to be rendered useless. Dominic could have sworn that he heard a grunt of a man. In fact, Dominic heard him say, “Fuck that hurt.”

“A potty mouth this one is.”

“Indeed.”

Both Dominic and Shinto looked at each other. Dominic grinned cheek-to-cheek, while Shinto simply cocked a half-smirk. Both of them approached the seated attacker. Shinto would raise the black ski-mask he had on with his telekinesis, while Dominic charged his Arc Gauntlets. In the event that he would prepare to attack, Dominic would be ready.

The mask had came off, and both Dominic and Shinto was shocked. It was just a kid no more than fifteen years old. Hair dirty and unkept, shades of brown and black with a few strips of gold. Skin young and eyes deep azure.

“Is this a joke?” Dominic asked. “It has to be!”

“Apparently not,” Shinto couldn’t help but laugh, “you got attacked by Backend’s own juvenile delinquent. “To think, the mighty Crimson Arc almost got beat by a little kid.”

“I’m not a kid!”

“Oh, so he’s not unconscious.” There was a legitimate surprise in Shinto’s voice.

“You actually think you can beat ME!” The kid said, rhetoric high and confidence not lacking.

Without being prompted, Dominic lightly kicked the kid in his nads. That, without a doubt, shut the kid up, and finally rendered him unconscious.

“And why did you do that?”

“I think what you meant to say is ‘Oh thank you, Dominic! I couldn’t have done that without you.’”

Shinto shook his head, and looked at Dominic. He said, “Now we can’t question him, asking him why he was in our home. Or did that thought not cross your mind at all?”

“I didn’t think —”

“You never do,” Shinto sighed, “oh well, I suppose we can’t just leave this kid out in the open.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“We’ll have to wait until he wakes up. Surely that wouldn’t be long.” Shinto raised up two fingers, lifting up the boy until he was on Dominic’s shoulder. The latter grunted as he wasn’t expecting a kid of that size to weigh so much.

“Where are we going?”

“I know a place where we can hide him. It’s only a couple of minutes away.” Shinto started walking, as did Dominic.

Whatever was going to happen, Dominic knew it wasn’t going to be for his benefit. Or his home’s.
