  • EX — Procella

    Yui arrived alone, right as the sun began to set. As promised, Diana was waiting in the middle of Yui’s empty lot. The stone foundation left to her by her grandfather. Diana was wearing a long, faded red trench coat, hands stuffed into her pockets. Yui approached the foundation calmly, hands in her own pockets.…

  • 25 — The Hunting Party

    New Eden, early afternoon one overcast Saturday. A “closed” sign hung on the front doors, and no one Yui didn’t invite could be seen in the gym. The call Yui put out for every Puella she knew of in Mitakihara spread far and wide. The Newspaper Club had been the first to arrive, aside Hanako…

    Freeze. Not a moment of dissociation, but genuine trepidation. Cecilia freezes, just a block away from her destination as the gym comes into view. “New Eden.” The sign was impossible to ignore, and even more impossible to miss. She looks down with a sigh, her companions already a length ahead of her before stopping. Cecilia:…

  • EX — Fulmen

    If Yui ever knew what she was doing at any given time, she would be truly dangerous. No one, not even Yui herself could comprehend her actions, especially now. She left her motorcycle a good distance away from her destination and walked as silently as she could before approaching the simple jailhouse’s backside. She knew…

  • 23 — Divider

    After exchanging a tense and knowing look, Hanako’s form vanished from the Library. Kotori, naturally, remained, energy and gaze locked onto the book on the desk. She turned page after page, finally stopping on one near the very beginning of the tome. Mei: (She steps into the dim light, once Hanako was gone, and approached…

  • 22 — Ace Detective April

    Newscaster: — Up next, new developments in the Mitakihara Homeless Serial killings case, after the shock arrest of an American expatriate late last night— Anisa: (she enters the room, carefully carrying a large pile of sketchbooks and pencil cases for her first sessions as an art teacher) Hey, where did you put my reference books?…

  • 21 — In Too Deep

    A nasty early April downpour is all but flooding Mitakihara as two small figures in large raincoats walk along the unruly river running through an inconspicuous neighbourhood, towards a large construction site surrounding the skeleton of what looks to at one point become a luxurious skyscraper, now only barely even capable of providing shelter from…

    Kiwako Kobayashi was impossible to read. Only she ever truly knew what she was thinking, where she was going at any given moment. Even to those who knew her best, it seemed like she didn’t even fully know, herself, what she was going to do next. As she, Cecilia and the Birds gathered under an…

  • 19 — Truth or Consequences

    The next day, Koharu arrives at school early as usual, making her way to the newspaper clubroom before classes start to print out some plans she worked on until late the night before. However, when she opens the door, she finds out someone has been waiting on her. Yuna: (she crosses her arms, sitting in…

  • EX — Ventus

    Some things never change. It felt like a lifetime ago since the last time they performed seriously, but on the stage tonight, Alice’s band would shine like never before. Perhaps it came down to the clarity in Alice’s heart, or the calm of the storm in Yui’s head. Maybe Kiyoshi fit in more naturally in…
