TAT: And we're here, once again! For yet another session of this thing!

Yuki: Do you have to be like that?

TAT: You know you're happy since FHF is finally over.

Yuki: Damn right I am! You know full well what you put me through with that!

TAT: *waves hand* Yeah, yeah, but it's done now. Deal with it.

Yuki: ...I'm going to hit you.

TAT: You can try~

Screen: Are the two fo you done? We have things that were sent in after all.

TAT: Everything is so mean to me.

Door: Blame yourself for that.

TAT: Always! *claps* Anyways! Let's get right into this! First up is from Lvl7!

Well that was an informative session. Well these will be short so the collab next session can have more

Yuki - Now that everything has been settled, how do you feel?

TAT - Will the SSR chapters go back to their 7k word count or will you be sticking to the longer chapters?

Satomi - Have you seen any of the fights between Yuki and Ninomiya? If you have, what are your thoughts on it?

Tōma - If Yuki didn't ask you, would you have still helped Mitsuteru?

Ninomiya - How do you feel now that Yuki's situation has resolved itself?

Pyrínas - Have you met any of the children's parents yet? Which ones exactly do you view as "your children"?

That should be enough for now. Looking forward to the next collab

TAT: *grabs heart* 7k... It's been so long...

Yuki: *rolls eyes*

TAT: But yeah, we're gonna go to the 7k for SSR. Already have some chapters done and man do they feel short when compared to FHF.

Yuki: And you still didn't put everything you wanted to in FHF.

TAT: True. Each chapter was supposed to be 10-15k, I just felt like the ends of the chapters were fine enough.

Yuki: *turns to readers* Well, to answer my question... I feel...lighter. Not everything is settled, but some major points were taken care of and I feel better now. I'm glad I can be back on good terms with some people, and that I know it's fine to rely on others just a bit more.

TAT: Yeah, even if it had to be done in such a pointless and dramatic kinda way. *snaps* I'll blame that on Despia though.

Yuki: Hm?

Kazuma, Tōma, Nino, Pyrínas - *lands on butt*

Yuki: Keh! Did you really have to bring that guy in here? I know he has a question, but he's still just a fool I'd rather not have here.

Ninomiya: *stands up & glares at Yuki* Having me here would be better than someone who takes too long to figure out who he even is. You-

Yuki: Yes~? *smug look* Go on, call me a faker. You can't! I've leveled up and gone beyond a faker! Meanwhile, you're stuck being an airhead forever!

Tōma: You're still an idiot.

Ninomiya: *glares* What an irresponsible child.

Yuki: That's the best you've got?

Ninomiya: Any more than that and I would be wasting my breath.

Yuki: *glares*

Kazuma: Ah, they're gonna go at it again!

Pyrínas: ...Should I step in?

TAT: *waves hand* As long as they answer their questions, I could care less. But if they start messing around too much, feel free to bonk them on the head or something.

Pyrínas: *nods*

Kazuma: He's not even scared of getting involved!?

Tōma: Compared to him, they might just be barking dogs.

Yuki: Keh. *turns around* You know exactly what I am. Besides, Kō, Toby, and a lot of others have the dog part covered.

Tōma: That's fair.

Kazuma: So what do we have here?

TAT: Top to bottom, we have... Kazuma, actually. Have you seen any of the fights between Nino and Yuki?

Kazuma: Like what we just saw or actual fights?

TAT: Let's go actual fights.

Kazuma: *crosses arms & tilts body to side* No, not really. I've heard about them before, but I've never seen one for myself.

Yuki: We don't usually let other people see us actually fight. We don't do it much, but we don't like showing others how we are doing those times. ...Bleh. Saying "we" in reference to this airhead leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Ninomiya: *clicks tongue* I would rather you didn't refer to me at all. It makes me shudder every time to hear that come out of that foul mouth of yours.

Yuki: Prim and proper speaking doesn't do jack when you're a chuuni, y'know?

Ninomiya: *makes cube of tiron*

Yuki: *pulls out Idōgetsu*

Pyrínas: *grabs both by collars & lifts them into air* ...This is a warning. ...Stop.

Tōma: Woooooow~ He's making the two of them look like children.

TAT: They might as well be...

Kazuma: *rubs eyes & looks at Yuki & Nino* This just looks weird! It's weird, right!?

TAT & Tōma: *waves hand* Normal.

TAT: Anyways. Next. Tōma, you're up.

Tōma: *looks at Screen & hums*

Kazuma: *looks at TAT* Tsukiko-senpai asked him to help Mittsun?

TAT: Yeah. To be more exact... *rolls head* He asked all of the 18+ Snipers to see if someone would help.

Kazuma: Huh. I knew he had all those people helping him, but I never knew how he got them to do that.

Yuki: What did you think when you found out?

Kazuma: *shrugs* The squad as a whole took bets on how it happened. Guess we know the answer now.

TAT: Well, it's not like he'll remember this later. Anyways. Tōma.

Tōma: Right, right. *shakes head* I wouldn't have helped him even if he begged. Helping him as much as I am is only because Yuki asked me for some help. Besides that...maybe if he got Yuzuru to ask me nicely, I might have. *shrugs* Then again, I didn't know that the two of them even knew each other when Yuki asked me.

Yuki: They only know each other because Mirai was on board with helping him.

Ninomiya: *twitches*

Yuki: What? You got something to say?

Ninomiya: *turns head & mutters*

TAT: *raises brow & fingers* Say it louder or I'll amp your voice for everyone to hear.

Ninomiya: Hm... I had said that I knew I had recognized him from somewhere...

Everyone:...

Pyrínas: ...He forgot about Mitsuteru, ended up in a match with him, got harassed by him, and missed a chance to take him out. ...Am I missing anything?

Tōma & Kazuma: Nnnnnnnope.

Yuki: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *grabs stomach & doubles over* H-h-h-he-e-e got you sooooo goooooooood-! HAHAHAHAHA! And you di-i-idn't even remember him! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *falls on ground*

Ninomiya: *glares over* Can I shoot him? Will anyone care if I shoot him?

Tōma: *shrugs* Fine with me.

TAT: Meh. Just answer your question first.

Ninomiya: This guy's still an idiot who has other things to resolve. Done.

TAT: *gestures to laughing Yuki* Go ahead then.

Ninomiya: *creates cube of tiron*

TAT: *turns around & claps* Anyways! Last up for this one! Pyrínas!

Kazuma: *raises hand* Wait, I have a question! Who even is this guy!? And what's with the questions for him?

Tōma: He's someone living in the Yagura Branch, takes care of it, and watches out for kids.

TAT: He also goes around the city a lot.

Pyrínas: *slight bow* ...Pyrínas. ...Nice to meet you.

Kazuma: Oh, yeah, of course. Nice to meet you too. *bows* So you have kids!?

Tōma: He wastes not time.

Pyrínas: ...They aren't mine. ...I watch over them when others are unavailable. *turns to readers* ...And I have met Mitsubachi's parents only. ...Stepney seems hesitant for me to meet his parents and Michelle's parents have just come to the city. ...I do plan on meeting them at some point. ...As for Kaede and Kasei...I believe that goes without mentioning.

TAT: Yup, it does. Now there's the second question.

Pyrínas: ...From what I'm seeing, Yuki's definition of "my children" is a bit odd when compared to others' standards.

Tōma: I don't get what you mean by that, but you can ignore that guy's thought process. He's pretty odd himself. Just go with what you think.

Pyrínas: ...I guess that's what having my own will is like, so I'll go with that. *nods* ...Those children are important to me and I will do what I can for them. ...That applies to everyone around me, but those children will likely be my priority if it came down to it. ...Even over Futoyuki.

TAT, Tōma, Kazuma: Ah~ They're his kids alright.

Yuki: *running & laughing in background* What a loser! I have to tell Mitsuteru about this! This is great!

Ninomiya: *running after Yuki & firing* Get back here, idiot! I'll fill you full of holes so you can't say anything to anyone!

TAT: Anywho... Let's move on then!

Tōma: The next one's from a guest.

Cera sounds nice from the movie The Land Before Time.

How did you find out of Minoru's problems, Ninomiya and Inukai?

Any agent from a different Border you want to fight, Tachikawa?

Favorite Shogi partner, Mizukami? Have a match against them

Yuki gets to eat ice-cream, but the catch is it tastes like the food he hates

Something you look forward to write, TAT? Also does it mean Tsuji gets his own Trion Soldier now?

TAT: Damn. Been awhile since I've thought of those movies... Anyways, we can take it up with Tsuji the next time he's in here. And as for that last part... *looks away* Maaaaaaaaybe Tsuji will get something... Ahem, ahem.

Pyrínas: ...You might end up in trouble.

TAT: I better not. This wasn't on me at all. Besides, we have Bubbles and Gecko, which also weren't on me. But anyways. *waves hand* Guess I'll keep on with my own question. *puts hand on chin* Let's see...

Tōma: Anything you make will be a hassle for the rest of us, so make sure you say the right thing.

TAT: Don't patronize me. Anyways... I guess, for now, it would be the last round of the BRWs. But besides that, everything that's happening in canon right now. But that's more like I'm looking forward to it while dreading it with a passion. It gives me a chance to get back to canon proper, but what I'll have to do becomes an irritation that I have to deal with. *hangs head* Urg... I really do have a lot to do.

Pyrínas:...You do that much to yourself.

TAT: Yeah, I know... *sighs* Anyways. Might as well go bottom to top for this one. *cups hands over mouth* Hey idiot! You've gotta eat ice cream that tastes like your least favorite food!

Yuki: *yells back while teleporting around Nino* Screw that! I'm not going to screw with ice cream like that! Open the Door because I'm not doing that!

Ninomiya: *dodging Idōgetsu hits & firing back* Hurry it up so I don't have to deal with this guy!

TAT: *mutters & snaps* Asshats yelling at me like this...

Door: *opens & sucks Yuki in*

Ninomiya: *sighs & walks over*

Tōma: Wooow~ You looks like a mess.

Ninomiya: *glares & fixes self* That guy is as annoying to catch as ever...

Kazuma: *tilts head*

Tōma: *waves hand*

TAT: Anyways. *snaps*

Mizukami & Tachikawa: *lands on butt*

Tōma: This makes all #1s here.

Kazuma: "All"?

Tōma: Don't think too hard about it.

Pyrínas:...

Ninomiya: Something you want to say?

Pyrínas: *shakes head* ...Just that all of you #1s have very different personalities. ...I'm still processing and organizing my thoughts about you all. ...Don't mind me.

Tachikawa: After saying something like that, I'll mind how I like.

Pyrínas:...I would like for you to stay away from me. ...You are too invested in fights for me to deal with you right now.

Tōma: Getting on Tachikawa-san like it's nothing.

Ninomiya: *closes eyes & nods* That makes sense.

Tachikawa: Oh? Do the two of you want to go right here and now? *shakes Kōgetsu*

Mizukami: *looks at TAT* Why do you even let us have weapons here?

TAT: *shrugs* I can deal with any of you, so I don't see a problem with it.

Mizukami: Weird.

TAT: Anyways, while you're talking, tell us who your favorite shōgi partner is. Then have a match with them.

Mizukami: Hm... *scratches back of head* If I could get him to play me...Hiki-san's pretty good. He's near the same tempo as me, so I never feel like anything's wrong when we play. The problem's just getting him to play in the first place.

TAT: Well it's not like he has a choice this time. *snaps*

Sekai: *lands on back* Urg... Leave me alone already. I was getting some sleep.

TAT: And now you're here. Deal with it.

Sekia: *rolls over* Don't wanna. *sighs*

Tachikawa: *grabs & lifts Sekai* Come on. You've got something to do here.

Ninomiya: *lifts Sekai* Just get it done with already.

Sekai: *sighs* So irritating... What do I even need to do.

Tōma: Have a Shōgi match with Mizukami.

Mizukami: *waves* Yo.

Sekai: Fiiiiiiine. Get everything set.

TAT: *snaps*

*Shōgi board appears*

TAT: Have fun.

Sekai: *sighs & sits down* I'll take first move then. *stares at board* Pawn to 6,7.

Mizukami: Guess I'll go with... Pawn 3,4.

Sekai: Pawn 2,6.

Mizukami: Pawn 4,4.

Sekai: Pawn 2,5.

Mizukami: ...Bishop 3,3.

Sekai: Gold 4,8.

Mizukami. Gold 3,2.

Sekai: *sigh* Pawn 5,6.

Mizukami: *twitches* Gold 4,3.

Sekai: Gold 5,8.

Mizukami: Pawn 5,5.

Sekai: King 6,8.

Mizukami: Silver 6,7.

Sekai: Gold 7,8.

Mizukami: Gold 5,8.

TAT: Well while those two continue that... Let's move on to Tachikawa.

Kazuma: I can't tell what's going on with how quickly they're going.

Tōma: The two of them are pretty similar, so don't think about it too much.

Tachikawa: *looks at Screen* Let's see, let's see~ Hm~ Yeah, of course there are others from those Borders. Their own #1 Attackers. I can't just relax when I know there are others who hold the same position as me.

Ninomiya: That's just pointless.

Tachikawa: Would you give up the chance to fight another #1 Shooter?

Ninomiya:...

Tachikawa: Thought so~

Ninomiya: Can we move on now?

TAT: That's up to you. You're the last one to answer. Oh, and if you know, answer for Inukai. If not, I'll bring him in.

Ninomiya: *narrows eyes at Screen*

Pyrínas: ...I'm assuming bad memory.

Tōma: Probbaly.

Ninomiya: *sighs & rubs forehead* We had gotten stuck in a supplies closet when those two were first years and I was a third year. Minoru had started to have a panic attack due to claustrophobia. It started from there and and continued to us learning more.

Tachikawa: *rubs chin* I remember Kako talking about that before. I guess that isn't an uncommon thing for you, is it?

Ninomiya: Just stop talking already.

TAT: Well there's that. We can end this one with that and move on to the last review. This one's from Yujo.

No surprises with the both of you~ And geez, I forgot Risa's last name is Maki

Truths:

Hyuse, you're aware of the female fanbase you gained?

Futo, what do you think of Hyuse being popular with the ladies?

Kikuchihara, the most embarrassing thing you heard?

Biggest Foodie in Border?

Ryuji, since you like curry did you have a taste of Konami's and Mei's curry?

And since the year is almost over: Everyone, what are you going to do on Christmas and New Years?

That's it~

TAT: Tch... Don't know if I should take that as a good thing when it involves that fool. But yeah, forgot about that too until I saw it again. So there can be another mix up with the Makis. *snaps* Anyways.

Hyu, Futo, Kiku, Ryūji: *lands on butt*

Sekai: *slaps down tile & sighs* There. My win.

Mizukami: *scratches back of head* Looks that way. *looks over* More people got sent in?

Sekai: *leans back on hands* Hey, I'm done. I'm gonna go back to sleep.

TAT: Sure. That was all you were needed for anyways.

Sekai: *falls onto back & knocks out*

TAT: Now then.

Futoyuki: *grabs Hyuse & moves towards Pyrínas* Hey, this was the guy I was talking about! Little Hyu!

Pyrínas: *bows* ...Nice to meet you.

Hyuse: You had to deal with this guy too?

Pyrínas: ...All the time.

Hyuse: Then you know how terrible he is.

Pyrínas:...Most definitely.

Futoyuki: Aw~ Looks at these two jerks getting along~

Ryūji: *whispers to Kazuma* That guy is huge!

Kazuma: Right, right!?

Kikuchihara: What are we even here for? There are too many loud people here.

TAT: Right, we can get right into this. It's actually pretty short. And Hyuse has to go first.

Hyuse: What?

Futoyuki: *looks at Screen* Oh! His goes into mine! Nice!

Hyuse: *looks at Screen & furrows brows* What fanbase are you talking about?

Futoyuki: *slaps Hyuse's front* Dokon! The one you've built up since enlistment!

Tōma: Oh? He's getting the hang of Border's comedy.

Mizukami: We don't need another one.

Hyuse: *swats Futoyuki* I haven't noticed since it isn't important.

Futoyuki: But it is! Being popular is important, but not letting it get to your head is even more important! *raises finger & puts hand on hip* Maintaining humility under the stress of being popular is what it takes to live here! Make sure you are still nice to those around you while accepting what is put out in front of you! That's what I learned from our former leader!

Pyrínas:...From the records I have, he had said that because you were being picky with what you eat.

Hyuse: He's always like that. It was really annoying whenever he was around.

Futoyuki: Geh!

Kazuma: They aren't hold back at all!

Ryūji: Oooooohhhh! They're really going at it!

Kikuchihara: *covering ears*

Ninomiya: Futoyuki, hurry up and answer already.

Tachikawa: Let them have their fun. Looks like they're having a good time after all.

Futoyuki: Right, right! *shrugs* I think it's pretty cool that Little Hyu has a fanbase. It makes up for how he was as a kid. It's nice to see how he is with everyone over here when compared to how he is when over there. Oh, but he was still pretty cute back there! Like when he thought I couldn't hear him, he would say so many nice things about me, and cling to me when I came by, and-

Hyuse: *slaps hand over Futo's mouth* Nothing of the sort happened and there is no proof of it. Move on since both questions had already been answered.

Futoyuki: *muffled talking*

TAT: Right... Kikuchihara is next then.

Kikuchihara: Urg... There are too many. Some people really don't know when to keep to themselves. I've heard a lot of embarrassing things.

Tachikawa: What would you say is the most embarrassing though?

Kikuchihara: *shakes head* It was when I got dragged along into Nikko's curse. There were some people who just couldn't take it to the bedroom.

Tachikawa: Oh ho?

Hyuse & Futoyuki: *tilts head*

Mizukami: They were havin' sex.

Ryūji: How can he say it so easily?

Kazuma: Kya! That's so icky!

TAT: *rolls eyes* Anyways... Ryūji can go next.

Ryūji: Right. ...What was it?

Kazuma: They want to know if you've have Konami or Takato-san's curry before!

Kikuchihara: *covering ears* Can I leave?

TAT: You can go chill with Sekai over there.

Ryūji: *shudders & shakes head* Yeah, but no. I haven't had Konami's curry before, but Mei-san offered some to me before.

Ninomiya: *covers mouth & turns away* I don't want to think about that again...

Futoyuki: Huh? Is Boss's girlfriend's curry that bad?

Pyrínas:...I think it's less that it's bad so much as it is very hot. ...From what I've seen, it creates a mass amount of heat that makes others start to sweat simply by thinking about it. ...Example. *gestures towards everyone else*

Tōma: *covering mouth & looking pale* It was always hard to refuse when she brought it...

Mizukami: It was worse when everyone else made you have to eat it or makin' you feel bad about not eatin' it...

Ryūji: *slightly pale* Mei-san's curry was good but I thought I would die after first tasting it!

Kazuma: He took one for the team since he ended up tossing it to the ground when he fainted.

Ryūji: I do feel bad for wasting it like that, but...

Tōma: Anyone would choose self preservation.

Futoyuki: I kind of want to try it now... Hey, Little Hyu-

Hyuse: No.

Futoyuki: But I didn't-

Hyuse: No.

Futoyuki: You're no fun!

TAT: Anyways. Last two there. Who's the biggest foodie in Border?

Tōma & Mizukami: Zoe.

Tachikawa: Damn, that was fast.

Tōma: He's always looking for new things, or checking out where to get some good food.

Mizukami: That ain't 'cause of his stature though. He's just that kinda guy.

Futoyuki: What's a "foodie"?

Pyrínas:...We can go over the new things you have learned today later.

Futoyuki: Nice! Little Hyu-

Hyuse: No.

Futoyuki: *slaps Hyuse's front* Always with you!

TAT: Well, last up. What everyone's gonna do for Christmas and New Years. *raises hand* Ah. I'm not doing anything. Both of those days are just ordinary days for me.

Ninomiya: Minoru and I will be taking Michelle to the local shrine for New Years.

Mizukami: I'm just gonna bundle up and stay put.

Tōma: Knowing some of the guys I do... There's probably going to be a party during both of those times, so I might go.

Ryūji: Toby said he's going to have a party for Christmas and invited Midorikawa to it. The invitation was extended to the rest of us. I might go to see.

Kazuma: His parties and barbecues are always fun, so I'll probably do the same.

Tachikawa: Mochi for New Years. That's all that matters.

Futoyuki: I'm going to see how everyone does things over here. Suzuka and Arisa told me that they would show me what people normally do during those times.

Pyrínas:...Since it's likely that the children will be with their parents and everyone in the branch will be doing their own things, I will likely go into hibernation so as not to be in anyone's way.

Tachikawa: *pats Pyrínas's shoulder* You can join the rest of us whenever you want.

Pyrínas:...I would rather hibernate, thank you.

Tōma: Rejected like it was nothing.

Hyuse: *glares at Futoyuki* This guy will probably be dragging me along. But if that's not the case, I will just be at the branch office.

TAT: *looking down at sign frame* So we all good with the question?

Tachikawa: Looks that way.

TAT: *swipes away sign frame* Good, because I just got a response.

Futoyuki: To what?

TAT: To who will be here next time. Looks like Monkey's good to go with that. Which means...

Tōma & Mizukami: *snaps at points to TAT* Bad luck galore.

TAT: *sighs* I can shut it off if I feel like, plus, Shingai's should be here, so it's naturally shut off. But still... I don't trust some stuff. *shrugs* Guess we'll see. *claps* Anyways. That's gonna be all for this one. Thanks for joining this time, and remember to send some things in for Monkey and his characters next time.

Futoyuki: Until next time...

All: See ya!

Border Briefing Files

Kushikage Taiyōko

Position: Valkyrie

As the oldest of the Taiyōko siblings, she makes sure to take care of all of her siblings in her own unique way. This extends to those her siblings are involved with, but most tend to not see it her way. A violent, fight loving woman, she follows the simple rule of "the strong rule over the battlefield". As someone who is "strong" she tends to view those weaker than her as people in needing of assistance. Anyone who decides to fight back is considered a fighter and she does her best to make sure they grow strong. Anyone who chooses not to fight or simply cannot fight she views as ones in need of protection.

The cause of a lot of problems, she goes around starting and finishing fights wherever she wishes and does not hold back from them at all. She is the embodiment of a soldier and strives to hold onto that after the death of her parents. With the title of "Unmatched Valkyrie" she makes sure to win any fights she is able to and fight to the end for ones she cannot win. Unlike those around her, she does whatever she can to help others, but her type of help is the kind that is also harmful to others. Even while thinking that she is doing something good, she is only hurting more people than help. But if they can survive that hurt...

Her favorite pastimes are messing with Mei and fighting.
