If there's a problem you're seeing with Mistress Akiha, here is the place to critique. Let me know if I'm being too Tsun, too Dere, not enough of either, or if I messed up on any confusing Nasuphysics (or you're character's physics).

[Accidental Video]

[A shot of her highness, surrounded by a group of presents. About 9, to be exact. Some large, some small. Each one of them looks like they were beat up. Badly.

When she speaks, her voice is hoarse, as if sick.]

That ingrate! There's no point remembering others' birthdays if you're going to up and disappear anyway! If he thinks this makes up for all the anguish he put me through--!

[Like scratching chalk, she noisily tears open box number one....a beautiful, French doll, in her likeness lay in the contents. It's mere presence made Akiha stop short...and kneel down. When next she speaks, her voice sounds even more cracked.]

Everyone goes on about how they're imprisoned at that miserable island. How ironic, because when you get down to it, we're all prisoners here. Only the setting has changed.

HE was the only one that made it feel like home. With him gone...i don't...[the video closes]

[ooc: Yup. Nii-san has left her behind AGAIN! But he left with her presents to make up for ALL the birthdays he missed in his 8 year hiatus.]

[Accidental Voice]

...Is it already near the 22nd? My, time goes by so fast. I won't be sweet sixteen for very long.

I wonder if I should remind Nii-san? He seems the type to forget these sorts of things. Or I would have received some actual gifts during his 8 year absence.

For those of you who looked forward to Rosey's opening day on [insert date here], we regret to inform that a very important person has gone missing. Hence, until he is either recovered or replaced, there will be no set date.

Currently, we are still accepting of applications for part-time help, but please bare in mind if you need a paycheck now or later.

We apologize for anyone inconvinienced by these events.


[Filtered to Bakery employees//hackable]

Umi, I know you just returned, but you are hereby filling in for Chrono as the lead baker. I don't think anyone will be placing an order at the moment, but just in case. Nii-san can also assist you if needed.

If any of the rest of you have anything useful to add, please state them now, or keep your tongue still.

[ooc: Bakery employees include Umi, Shiki, Rosette, and anyone approved in the hiring post. Also, those who know her can comment on her new hairstyle, though she'll be annoyed if you try probing too deep into it.]

[Accidental Video]

T-This is not the desired result! I am certain I followed the recipe down to the letter, so what caused this---this MONSTROSITY could not have been me. I DEMAND A WORD WITH THE MANUFACTURER OF THIS OVEN THIS INSTANT!



[ooc: Disclaimer time. Not my photo, so don't ask me what that blue thing in the middle is. I have no idea.]

[Accidental Voice]

[The sound of something being dragged across the floor starts out soft but quickly moves up to a loud clammor followed by a meaty thunk of two people slamming into each other.]

OW, HEY! What the hell?

ACK! What is this? [Some soft thumps are heared, followed by a sound that indicated shattering ceramic.]

A-Akiha?!

Nii-san? Where did you come from all of a sudden?

I really could ask the same thing of you. It's not like I did this on purpose.

I was walking downstairs. You are the one who came out of nowhere and bumped into me!

And I was minding my own business no where near the stairs.

Eh? Are you trying to say you mastered teleportation powers now? Where were you before?

I don't think you get it Akiha. I was in my room and now here I am. There is no powers or teleportation at all. If you want to talk about powers, maybe you should get one to get a larger chest so this wouldn't have hurt so much.

Why you---maybe if I kill you, the pain will end! [Cue a painful-sounding impact. Here, the post ends.]

[Voice]

Alright, the rules are very simple: anything I mark becomes mine. Hence, anyone who touches what is mine becomes an interloper. And I warn you, I do not forgive those who trespass my property.

If it's something you already marked yourself, that is fine. I will not bring myself to do something so petty as theft. However, should you try to invade my area, disgracefully marking over my things with your terrible handwriting, I will not hold myself back. An eye for an eye, and all that.

Now, which tool was it? I think it was--


[Switch to Video]

[The camera switches on, showing the lady's room overlaid with markings of "MINE" and "Akiha" everywhere. On the bed, the desk, the table and chair, the dresser, the mirror, the books, the shelf, various antiques, with a "Property of Tohno Akiha" on the outside door.]

Ah, there we are. As you can see, all this belongs to me. Ah, but don't think this is the limit. Anything I marked outside the room is my property too. Please be mindful of that.

Ah, this really takes me back.

[Accidental Voice]

[A little girl's voice is recording. Her voice is cracked, as if she were crying, or about to.] What is this place? It is nothing like the mansion. It's too big. Am I lost? I can't be...

If I don't get back, Nii-san will...

Nii-san! Nii-san, where are you?

Please. I don't care if you win this time, just find me!

[Voice]

[A sudden voice message turns on.]

Alright, I bow. You've had your fun for today. A break from the monotony of staying in one place your whole life. But seeing as it is almost midnight, I demand that you make haste to your rightful place in my room this instant. It would be inconvenient for both of us if the deadline for this curse passed while we remain airborne, you see. So it's for your own good if you stop being stubborn and move.

...I see. Not a reasonable sort, are you? Need I tell you again that if things remain like this, you too will also be dashed to pieces on the pavement? If by off-chance I survive, I'm not having you rebuilt either. In fact, I'll make sure the next bed I purchase will be more dutiful then the anarchic one you are! Serves you right, you old sack!

.......

Oh gracious, what am I to do?

[Voice]

...Truth....or dare?

I think that explains the situation enough. Or do you dare ask me for further details?

( Offline | Paper Journal )

[Accidental Voice]

Well, back to work.


[ooc: Few rules, don't talk to her about Shiki/Taiga stuff or demon hybrid things. They're sensitive issues. Also, no telling her Shiki traded with Yuuko. Otherwise, post anything, especially cats. She HAETS LOVES cats :>. Also, diary is free for reading.
Will be gone most of the day, will tag back in the night.
ETA: OKAY! Backdating enabled!]

[This entry was deleted July 1st 5:03 A.M.]

[Voice]

Ah, Nii-san? Some thoughtless person painted over my window. I tried to clean it off, but...I can't. Could you...help me do it?


[ooc: SORRY SO LATE!! Was sick all day! >.< No surprises, Akiha's weakness is her Nii-san. (And her fear of becoming a heartless monster.) The Trinity siblings, feel free to point and laugh, so long as you're aware of the consequences ^-^;]
ETA: Crashing for tonight. Picking up tags tomorrow.
ETA2: BACK! But...still sick. Tags will be utterly slow.

[Voice]

Well then, now that the blasted curse is over, what do you all think about your complaining? Certainly, having your trusted sword or zinger all look like they were targeted by rainbow missiles can be embarrassing, but it's nothing to overreact to. At least they haven't been stolen or improperly used like with previous events. Show some restraint.

Yes, especially those of you who went far enough to destroy said accursed object. Never mind that, had you exercised enough patience, it would have reverted to itself at midnight. So your sacrifice was in vain.

Geez.


[ooc: LOL, despite her words, Akiha wasn't unaffected by that curse. Her hair...well, look at this! Opera House residents can point out how she never left her room (because of "fever"). More sneaky characters who spotted her can comb this for teasing material.]

[Accidental Video]

Ding, ding, ding, ding....

[The clock struck midnight. A held breath escaped her, as though she were just unwoven from a tight string.]

Another day here.

[Having noticed no change in her own body or attitude, she turned to her laptop to see if it was true of others.]

Akiha, what are you doing up?

[A sharp intake of breath. Frozen. That voice she should not hear, the one who's owner should long be silenced.]

Akiha, when I ask a question, I expect you to answer me! Why are you still up? And what do you.....is that what I think it is?

[A closeup of her face showed shock turning to hate, a snarling grimace marring her otherwise delicate features.]

You should be gone.

That rubbish should be what's gone! You know how the Tohno family stands on those things! Scrap! All of it! Yet you, you of all---Why would you do this, Akiha?!

[Furious, she turns around.]

Shut up! You hold no authority over me anymore! I'm the Tohno Head now, and--!

[She jerks back. As if reacting from being hit.]

If you are the Tohno Head, then throw it away. That junk is no use to you or I. Afterwords, go to bed. Lack of sleep is hampering with your judgement.

[Her hand came to her cheek, pained angry eyes staring at the space before her.]

Very well, Father. I suppose I can appeal that much to your wish.

[With that, she walks over to the machine, picks it up

...And proceeds to chuck it at the spot she yelled at. The wall is the last thing we see.]

[ooc: Happy Father's Day! Hope yours isn't as scucky as Akiha's.
Edit: Never mind. That would lead to too dull a day.]

[Accidental Voice Post]

It's all well that she helped him, but--why a cat, of all--

Eh? When did I get outside? And what's with this---fountain?

...Oh. So I've returned.


[ooc: OK! Akiha has returned from her short absence here! (Not like your characters may have noticed.) However, while it's been a day here, several months have passed at home, up to this summer! She's been pulled from after Kagestsu Toya, where the young head has yet to affirm the entrance of Shiki's new pet/familiar Len (or Ren, however you call her). Being that the girl looks like supreme jailbait, and can turn into a cat, she is understandably not pleased. (Like that's new >.>;)
She's not had any memories from her City while home, so she's a bit muddled at the moment.]

[Filtered from Known Enemies(Aion, Mayuri, Major) and Shiki//Cursed]

Almost a month, yet no one has spotted Nii-san's glasses. I almost have half a mind to chastize you all for not looking hard enough. But after this long, it's a good indicator that they're lost for good among the rubble. Those who did search have my thanks for trying at least.

So I guess I must appoint this task, to have these glasses recreated from scratch. Much as I want to do so myself, optometristry is far from my abilities. Granted, this is no easy task, as the lenses in his glasses were special, rare even back home. Being able to block a user's special sight, even Mystic Eyes.

Of course, given the wide diversity this place offers, if anyone else has other solutions, you are encouraged to share them.

Name any price. All I ask is that you keep this all a secret from Nii-san. He's very adament that he needs no help, despite his crippling condition.

Also, contrary to Chrono's claims, the bakery is not canceled, and will open soon as he's kicked back into action.

[/end filter]

[Private Voice]

Nii-san, speak to me. Please?

[Voice]

You know, having lived here for about 5 months, I'm really ashamed at how passive the City is as a whole. Not one, but two creatures with supreme rank over our unseen dictators, blowing away nearly every theory conceptualized by each citizen. Yet over a whole week, and hardly anyone ever speaks of it. Or even debates how this relates to us, or what new action courses this opens up. For land's sake, take this as a wake up call and do something!

As for me, well...I myself formed my own theory of how such a complex place can exist. An embarrassingly sketchy one, I admit, but any idea is better than none. So I'll have a go:

You are all familiar with the barrier that surrounds us, keeping us trapped like hutch rabbits. Such a concept is not impossible back home, and are possible given one has trained enough in the art. These bounded barriers are possible to achieve by spreading prana over a given area, be it a building or an overlay of land. Once set, anything inside will be separated from the outside. Almost like creating an inner world...

Of course, a magus of average league cannot do such things. At its strongest, such barriers can block off passage to one's "inner world", but not the opposite. But what if this ability were not held by a natural creature, but a supernatural one? A deity, let's say. Such a supreme being could not only cut all access to the outside world, but make it impossible for anything inside to return. Unless they permit it.

It's like a fairy world. Travelers wandering by their groves, lost and helpless. The mischievious fairies, usually closed off, open their doors, giggling as the hapless wayfarers enter. There, victims are subject to their pixie rule and play, only leaving once their abducters grow bored. That's the view I held for these Deities; giant fairies, trapping us until eternity.

But with the presence of these even more supreme beings, now it all feels off. It could all still apply, but what role do they play? Are they perhaps the true holders of this world?

Edit: As for these ghosts, whoever you are, I ask you to leave me be. I am in no mood to be spooked today.

[ooc: Yeah, Nii-san going off with Taiga makes Akiha something something. Of course, she doesn't want anyone concerned over her, so mood reads "contemplative" unless hacked. (moderately so) Also, has not encountered any "ghosts" yet. Feel free to haunt her >D]

[Accidental Video]

[After a few flutters, we open to see Akiha on her bed, feeding her rabbit Seo....at least, that's what she's attempting to do. Looks like Seo-chan is skipping over her greens again, causing Akiha to groan and push her away from the mashed bananas.]

Now look, I understand that book stated rabbits liked fruit and other sweets, but it also states that feeding too much will lead to obesity. And I do not need the added hassle an overweight pet brings. So from this point on, I am no longer allowing fruit to be present in your meals.

[Of course, it's useless speaking to Seo, as the sweet-tooth bunny just cocks its head sideways in confusion, before going back to munching on the smashed fruit. This illicits a facepalm for her hapless caretaker.]

*sigh* Oh sure, don't listen to me. I'm sure you'll be satisfied when your stomach expands twice the size of your bod--!

[Her incessint complaining is thankfully interrupted when her eyes fall upon a mass of hair, creeping from beneath the shut window. Immediately, the rabbit perks and skitters away, leaving Akiha to deal with the creeping menace alone. Well, that was fine. This is just how Akiha preferred it.]

So, the hairy menace finally sees fit to target me. Appropriate timing, for I have no lemons or music to coax you away. However...do not think you have me or Seo-chan so easily.

[In spite of her brave words, Akiha was seriously creeped as the hair expanded in her bedroom, covering the walls and floor. Nonetheless, her pride would not let her be diminished, especially as part of the black portion of the hair, poised to attack, burned a fiery red.]

I see, going so far as to bring your ultimate weapon. What luck hath wrought me. [Saying that, her own hair set aflame with the same color.] Hah! You're a fool if you think that one lock can go against a whole head from the demon you robbed! If you want more, come take it!

[At once, both Rupunzel and Medusa clashed, hair entangling....but upon contact with her hair, the creature immediately untangled itself from her locks and retreated out the window, leaving a bewildered, none-too-pleased Akiha.]

Eh?--Hey! Come back here, you c---!

[And there, the video cuts off.]
