Endurance - Yuki Ayaka - Bakamono - 07-07-2012
After her brief stint at Matsue, and the cruelly-blind journey here, Yuki had arrived once more on terra-firma. The knowledge that she was not going to die in the vacuum of space came as a sweet moment of relief. She heard the dull clatter of the guards as they rose and told her to stand. Then, standing her up, prompted her to shuffle forward. The bay door unfolded with an awfully over-amplified crunching, hissing and whirring.
Yuki felt the cool rush of natural air, filled with the fragrant scents of earth and greenery as the sunlight warmed her hands. Hooded as she was: her other senses would have to shape her environment.

[font=Tahoma]Ayaka smiled. She missed this feel. It's been a first time in one and half year since she stood on a natural ground and breathed a natural air. It reminded her the estate she owned and the days she spent on it. First in her childhood with her father and then later on when he died. In the moments when she felt most tired from her work as a kumicho she always refreshed her energy there.
[color=#FF99FF]"What planet are we on?"she asked the guards

A short chortle preceded the guards reply 'They call this place 'Yomi' , girl. Though some of those who get through call it Shinsei (新生) - Nascent, Saisei (再生) ' rebirth, or Umarekawari (生まれ変わり) ' reincarnation...For some this place is an ending, for some, a beginning."

[font=Tahoma]Like if it mattered whatever they call it. She stood there breathing the fresh with a closed eyes.
"Don't call me a girl"she sneered under the bag and punched him with an elbow in the stomach. She guessed the distance rather well from the sound of his voice.
[color=#FF99FF]"So what now?"
Endurance - Bakamono - 07-10-2012
A pained grunt followed her elbow ' she heard the man curse as the noise of raising weapons accompanied shouts from the others of 'Hey!' and 'a live one!'.
The man grunted '...Stand down, stand down ' it would be silly of us to expect no fire from this one hey boys?' a brief round of laughing answered the mans remark. 'Now miss ' we are going to keep walking until you are taken off our hands. Will you behave, or do I have to mace you?'

[font=Tahoma]Ayaka smiled. She might have been prisoner but she was from loosing all pride.
[color=#FF99FF]"You must excuse girls they might act a bit foolishly. Ladies on other the side... I of course will" she let the marines to lead the way.

Hours of walking in the dark followed, more stumbles and rightings as Yukis captors led her on. Too soon the sun warmth faded as she felt cool shadows envelop their party.
Finally she heard the mumbling of other voices and the familiar metallic ring of restraints.
She was made to sit, as she was shoved into a chair. The black bag was pulled free, her eyes adjusted to the dim light achingly. She was seated amidst a small crowd of people dressed similarly, each tied in restraints. They were of mixed ancestry, not all were Kusari. Before them all hung a screen.

[font=Tahoma]Ayaka sighed. She never liked crowds. Too noisy and clunky.
"Romantic family comedy time?" she said and looked around the people.
[color=#FF99FF]"That will be just great..."

A square shouldered silhouette briefly foreshadowed the screen 'Watch the video:'
The shot shows the date and time in a floating display, typical of security camera footage. '15:00:39 16/06/817 TR03' The scene shows a training gym at a time of typical practice, encircled by guards, populated by trainees: wearing grey tracksuits and white vests; identical to Ayakas new attire.
Two of those within shot are sparring, three are using a weights machine. A final trainee is using a treadmill. The last suddenly convulses and falls to the ground hard. One student approaches, though stops short of contact. He can be seen screaming at the guards. Two guards move in and attempt to restrain the convulsing trainee. They call a third who approaches.
With speed, the remaining trainees haul the weights bench and bars at the guards, who fall and are pinned. Three of the six trainees drag guns free of the sprawl, and make for the doors with their friends in tow. They fire on three more incoming guards, who fall smoking.
There is a sickening moment that passes in a blink as the six bodies erupt into falling towers of burnt flesh and exposed bone, blood mists the air. Two guards within camera shot carry cooling weapons, though it seems obvious that there must have been additional fire from off-camera sources. It is unclear where from. The feed continues in the background as the instructor steps to obstruct the view 'Is this clear enough?'

[font=Tahoma]Ayaka watches the tape, bored. She puts leg over leg
"Hey, I bought a ticket for romantic comedy. Not some C grade action movie." she looks at the instructor.
[color=#FF99FF]"This must be a wrong hall I assure you. "
