Keiko Isozaki walked down the streets of Neo Tokyo, studying the newscast via her CelScreen. It had been an unusually quiet summer; Jaegar hadn't launched any major attacks, and both sides were taking the opport

7:12 PM, MONDAY, JUNE 7, IMPERIAL PALACE, SEAT OF NEO TOKYO SENATE, AND CONJUNCTION HALL, NEO TOKYO, JAPAN
Lethya stood at the top of the Imperial Palace, wind whistling around her. This wasn't the roof of one of the wings, or the lower observation deck: this was the very top. On either side stood a statue; on her right was a man, on her left a woman, who were holding hands, their free arms stretched out. Four iron rings were kept in constant motion by very old, very powerful psymantic spells, and every so often one would cross in front of her with a metallic, ringing groan. To get any higher, she'd have to stand on one of the statues, but th

("Weapon of Choice", Fatboy Slim)

Because SDL just doesn't have enough crazybitch!

Ladies and gents, Ani. Yes, I know about her name (both the kanji and the usual meaning of "ani".) I'm three weeks from a B.A. in Japanese. It's deliberate, trust me.

Ani was deposited at a monastery at age ten. Her mother probably thought it was a normal monastery. Her mother was also sadly mistaken. An order of souhei, or warrior monks, they were a little-known faction mainly utilized as assassins by the warring powers. (The ability to detach from all worldly concerns is quite useful when someone needs to be taken to the cleaners.) The monks were trained in some performance art - singing, dance, mastery of an instrument, etc. - as well as a complementary fighting style. Ani was taken in, discovered to be a terrible performer in any kind of musical setting, and subsequently assigned to the acrobats. At age 20, she was turned out of the monastery, citing a) a complete failure to master detachment, and b) the fact that as a woman, she was a distraction to the monks.

What happened after that is anyone's guess. ;)

The SDL will never be the same once Ani finishes with 'em. Just steer clear of Kuraima for a while or people might think you're gunning for *Unknown-person =p

Actually... that would be another awesome-sauce bit of pretty wouldn't it... And now I'm conflicted again.
