__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Profile==&lt;br /&gt;
Nori Ankou is a fashion model by night and a high school student at Ohtori by day. In both places she presents herself as a young woman of few words and striking appearances, whether in the social whirl of the Academy or the glamorous heat of &amp;quot;Akai Mirai.&amp;quot; Those who know her beneath this exterior know someone a little tentative, a little sad, and deeply caring. It was not long ago that she was stuck-up, with her nose in the air, nursing a hurt that her parents seemed to choose an infant brother over her as the recipient of their affections... but now she has friends and confidants of whom she is quite fond. She is also fond of otters... she would have to be, for one is her cousin, Batiste, an emissary from the distant Sea of Tears.  For Nori Ankou is also la Sirene de Diamant, a glittering beacon in an imperfect world and one of the Sirens of that far-off sea, pursuing the heights of queenship. With Batiste's guidance, she draws on the alien  abyssal light of the Sea of Tears to guide the innocent and scourge the  wicked, protecting Tokyo (well, parts of Tokyo) from interlopers and  malefactors.                  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Current Status==&lt;br /&gt;
Nori's main pursuit in life at the moment is not the educational studies that befit a school-lady of her age. That would be the obvious thing, even at Ohtori, but instead she has, despite her young age, become one of the leading lights of a rising fashion house, representing &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:darkred&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Akai Mirai&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; - the darker, glamorous, night-time side of the AoAka label. &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:darkred&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Akai Mirai&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; can be anything and everything except blue. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori has also developed as a person. While standing in defense of [[Tsuru]], the creator of AoAka, a cruel stroke from [[Shizuru Fujino]], la Sirene du Nord perished, in a way: the cold winter winds of the north dying like a dream denied. And yet, whether through the strength of a secret promise or the enigmatic truth that &amp;quot;We Only Live To Be Born Again,&amp;quot; someone new rose from the dry husk of du Nord: la Sirene de Diamant, glittering and splendid. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other than her fashion career and desultory efforts towards schoolwork, Nori was also given the mantle of leadership of the Chevaliers when Sayaka Miki left in order to pursue her vendetta against Eri Shimanouchi. Thus far, Nori has been too racked by grief to guide the Chevaliers to anything more ambitious than protecting a portion of Tokyo and trying to stop Sayaka from murdering Shimanouchi in the street. However, this is the sort of thing that draws the eyes of the Mother of Sorrows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
Nori Ankou was a child with problems. No, they were not problems of misbehavior or foolishness; she was insightful and intelligent, an early reader and a thoughtful person. Her problem was much simpler: She had regular and frequent storms of a crippling, intractable depression. Even in an ideal situation this might have been less than positive. As it was, she was largely subject to displeasure from her parents, who had hoped for something more outgoing in a daughter... someone who could live up to the family's habits of being outgoing, go-getters, even a little ruthless at times. This disapproval didn't come with beatings, it just was an atmosphere of cold isolation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori learned to fake it. It was an amazing power. Her parents, evidently relieved at the sudden brashness and outgoing nature of their child, didn't question too much that she still spent lots of time alone, by herself. (&amp;quot;I need to think!&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I'm tired of seeing other people!&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Other people are dumb, gosh!!&amp;quot;) After all, at school, when she wasn't having a fit, she was fine. It was a relief to those parents, especially when they had a second child on their way - a son, too! Nori did not really like faking it, but it did, initially at least, seem to work. She did feel better... somewhat better... sometimes... However, after years of doing this, she began to despise herself for her false face, while not being able to put it down for long. When her parents informed her that, in light of both her academic irregularity and her penchant for periodically kicking her peers in their pouty pastry-holes, she would be going to a boarding school for her middle school years, she broke down in tears. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That, too, wasn't unusual. They let her run off to the dockside boathouse near the ocean on their seaside estate where she hid. They did not expect that this time, she would take a rowboat - and begin travelling out, as far as she could, tears in her eyes. A storm rose. The boat hit a far shore. As rain pelted down on her, she looked up at a gray eminence: someone who had come and waited, holding a lantern. The woman kissed her brow, bore her up the craggy path to a sheltered lighthouse, and fed her a meal of fish. She introduced herself as the Mother of Sorrows, and told Nori that she was in a home that had been prepared for her long ago. She could stay - forever, if she wished - and would learn many mysteries, and things she had not known she missed. She was a child of the Mother, at whatever remove, and she was not the first to come, nor would she be the last. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori ate her supper, and then said, But I have to go back; I'm to attend school soon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do you mean that? the Mother asked her. You do not have to. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori was silent for a long time. The Mother waited; she poured tea, served a small cake for dessert. Nori answered, finally: I don't know. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Mother smiled, and congratulated her for her honesty. Come back tomorrow, she said: Take the same boat. Come after breakfast, and stay the day. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori left; came back the next day; and here the two of them spoke at length. Nori's ears burned to hear the strange woman praise her for her strength and the force of her will. But I'm awful, Nori said. I decided to lie to everyone so that Mother and Father would not be sad. What's strong about that? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because, the Mother said, you did not lie. You performed, and you have kept the knowledge of yourself. Such strong will is worthy of a Queen. Return to me on this day, next year, and we will speak again. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori went to Ohtori then, and forgot about that entire conversation. She nearly forgot - if she hadn't looked in her old journal, she would have thought it was a dream. But on that day, a clear and blue day, she snuck away from her parents as they cossetted her infant brother, and sailed out of sight of land. Had it been a dream? She thought so, but when she turned around, she found the Mother sitting there. The Mother told her something of the history of the Sea of Tears, and how in time the sorrows of the world came there; how her children had filled the Earth, mingling with the races of mortal man, but how in time they would feel weighed upon by the passage of time. Those who could return to the Sea found themselves growing into strange and wonderful new powers and potencies... but most, in the end, did not. The Mother taught Nori a charm then, and told her to use it, not from here, but at Ohtori, in thirteen months, no more and more less. That charm was to sail away from land, however accomplished, steering without sight and with tears in her eyes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But... Nori thought Ohtori was great fun. Her feelings were lighter, though she still had dark and gloomy spells. She remembered what day it was when the news spoke of storms at sea and storms on land. She slipped off the school grounds, desperately taking a paddleboat; steering it away, trying to make headway against the surging waves. Futility and black depression lay upon her - and then she awoke in that familiar lighthouse, tucked into a warm if spartan bed. The Mother was there, and she was told then of her real purpose. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She could stay if she wished, as many others had, but she held the strength and the will to pursue the course needed. Become a Siren, the Mother said; gather the sorrows of the world and bring them here. In time, you will grow, and should you grow enough, you shall be Queen, as she who rules now under my watch grows old and weary of the task. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori accepted. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was then told, of course, that she was not alone, but...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Relationships==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;'''Loved'''&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Tsuru]] - Tsuru has made promises and told Nori secret things, and in some ways is thus the most precious person in the whole wide world to her. (There are, of course, other worlds, but we leave that aside for now.) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Mami Tomoe|Mami]] - A late dawning, Mami has always given off a peaceful sort of aura even when she was throwing huge volleys of fire at their enemies. And of course, she is one who Nori remembers losing. They say you don't know what you've had until it's gone, and for once there is the miracle of a second chance... ...She also has a habit of keeping good supplies of fine cake. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Endo Naoki|Endo]] - This tall and stoic fellow knight is someone that Nori has always found curiously enigmatic. Is it simply the gulf in their experiences? Is it his partnership with Fallen Stern (a charmer, in his laconic way)? Either way, he has a special place in Nori's heart, if for rather grim reasons. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Mikoto Minagi|Mikoto]] - She was terror, she was horror, she was a faint feeling of disgust that something could be held in reserve for so long. But Nori heeded the law of the Sea and it has repaid itself sevenfold, revealing that beneath the desperate fighter and brutal warrior there was something soft and gentle. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;'''Complicated'''&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Kozue Kaoru|KOZUE]] - She remains an antithesis in many ways and yet somehow there is some indescribable feeling in knowing she is back and that a miracle has happened, an impossible dream fulfilled, which puts a rose-tint on the jagged edges of a sharp and wild person. &lt;br /&gt;
(For now.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Eri Shimanouchi|Eri]] - It is quieter, perhaps, than most, but it is there. Once there was pain in a rainy shed. Now there was cake on a beach. Things turn around; what will five years bring? Ten years? Will they know each other at all? Ah... but there WILL be a five years from now. Won't there? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;'''Known'''&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Fuu Hououji]] - The Magic Knight and her alter ego are a curious study in contrasts. On the one hand Nori has appreciated her aid in many forms, and on the other hand she did not much enjoy her expedition into the realm of Cephiro to aid Fuu. Their personalities are also not really compatible, or incompatible. And so, Nori knows that when it comes to the question - is Fuu a precious person to you? - her heart says... Maybe. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;'''For whom we carry on'''&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Sayaka Miki|Sayaka]] - Always the best. &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
[[Madoka Kaname|Madoka]] - &lt;br /&gt;

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Mesarthim: Created page with &amp;quot;I.  &amp;quot;It all keeps happening! It's happening again! Why did it have to happen!? Why!? Why - Why why why why WHY - I hate it, I hate it, I hate it I hate it I hate it!&amp;quot;   &amp;quot;What...&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;I.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;It all keeps happening! It's happening again! Why did it have to happen!? Why!? Why - Why why why why WHY - I hate it, I hate it, I hate it I hate it I hate it!&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;What Madoka said... she wanted to make a better world, to protect people from Witches. Bad enough, wicked enough, cruel enough that she had to d-die from all of this but it's like some kind of awful joke. Like a twist ending, like some kind of - of - I don't know - it can't be how it really ends, can it?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;This is Kozue's fault! Kozue encouraged her! I don't know if she's stupid or wicked and I don't think that it's either-or! If it wasn't for Kozue, then Sayaka would have just wept and wouldn't have, have left us before...&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Shimanouchi did that. That awful, wretched girl. I should have stuffed that potting soil down her throat if she loves it so much. She felt sick, did she? After everything we did. Everything we bled for. All of it's just a hideous joke. All we did was get precious people killed. Now there's only two of them, three if you count Akemi.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Akemi. By heaven and hell what a cruel and awful girl. I can't forget her eyes. She sounded so absolutely certain, so definitive. How could anyone be like that? To be like that you have to be a monster. I've never felt that certain about anything in my life. I doubt I ever will. And she said it all as bare as brass in front of Madoka...&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Madoka had to see all of this... she's had to see so much... I... I don't know - do you think I should have done more? I don't know what more I could have done, everything is so confusing. There's nobody to tell me what to do, nobody to look to any more. Even Utena could have died there. The only reason the Shepherds didn't kill us all is because we have the Midchildians.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I...&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I wish I hadn't shouted at Sayaka... That was, was the last real conversation we had and she just took it so mildly. She must have thought I hated her, at heart... I... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I could've... I coulda - I - &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;It should have been me instead, but I can't... I just can't...&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori Ankou lapsed into something like sleep. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
II. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The hardest part of this was the water, and Batiste wished, not for the first time, that he had brought more with him. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
La Sirene de Diamant - Nori Ankou - Akai Mirai, and whatever other names were yet to come - was sprawled upon the modernist couch, the upholstry still in some disarray from where she had thrashed. When she had quieted and the sobs and steadied into something like the slow deep breathing of a sleeper, Batiste had moved, as he had before. But rarely had it been so involved. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He used the blanket Nori laid on to position her so she would not fall and awaken with pain. He had arrayed what he knew Nori would need when she awoke on a plate - a few dried figs and the strips of the smoked dried salmon they had both gasped over in the store a week or so previously. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But now! Now he had to fill a glass of water. And to move a pint of water was not an easy thing to do, even with the trailing tube they had set. Batiste did it by teacups, filling a fat handle-less tea-cup halfway and carrying it towards the glass. It would take two more fills, he thought. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As he poured water into the glass, taking care to avoid undue sound, he gazed on the face of his soi-distant cousin: he felt his duty, but there was more there, too. He had felt the seeds growing within his heart, but now, he knew with a sort of sad pleasure, it was certain. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And am I not, too, a Chevalier, he thought with pride, as he placed the teacup atop his head and leapt from the coffee table. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
III. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The water glass sat, largely empty, as Nori Ankou chewed on the jerked salmon. She did not taste it, quite, but the taste had slid into her memory even so. She would want it again, later, but the future is often formed when you are not paying attention. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I will review,&amp;quot; said Batiste, wearing his brooch and holding the small pencil he used for stenography, &amp;quot;what we know.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;First: that according to the testimony of Madoka Kaname, Sayaka Miki's Soul Gem was seen to shatter. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Second: That this shattering occured without intervening force. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Third: That Sayaka's Soul Gem had become completely black, distinct from the traditional color which we had witnessed. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Fourth: That such destruction will slay a member of Sayaka and Mami's society.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori sniffed loudly, staving off a sob. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batiste paused. Then continued: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Fifth: That according to the testimony of Homura Akemi, Sayaka's Soul Gem passed a point of no return and became a Grief Seed. Subsequently, it hatched into a Witch.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Sixth: According to same testimony, such is the final secret of a Soul Gem. &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Seventh: Homura Akemi testified further that the good which Sayaka has done will now be matched by the evil she will now do.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;That is not quite right,&amp;quot; Nori said mildly. &amp;quot;She was specific. The lives she saved can only equal the lives she will now curse. That's what she said.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batiste scribbled on the sheet for a while. &amp;quot;And then finally,&amp;quot; the otter said, &amp;quot;she spoke to Madoka.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batiste placed his pencil down. His paws came together. Nori ate her jerky. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Silence hung in the air like cheap incense. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Finally, Nori spoke. &amp;quot;Could Homura have been lying?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Perhaps,&amp;quot; Batiste says. &amp;quot;She is a mystery.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Do you think she was just... doing this to bully Madoka? I thought perhaps, she- Homura, I mean - might have been one of the Brothers in disguise... Madoka has been through so much.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I do not think so... she left. And she did this in front of everyone,&amp;quot; Batiste said, though he was not wholly convinced. &amp;quot;Wicked and cruel it may have been but it held courage. A bully would have cornered Madoka and given her these statements alone. She did this knowing that you or Endo or Lera or Mikoto would lash out at her - perhaps wound her or kill her, in their cases.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Mm,&amp;quot; Nori said, chewing on her ish. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I wonder if Kyuubey knows about this,&amp;quot; Batiste mused. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;About Homura?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;No,&amp;quot; Batiste said, &amp;quot;about the Witches.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori frowned then. &amp;quot;But he opposes the Witches. He gives girls wishes and they become the 'Puella Magi,' right? And they have to hunt Witches. They *have* to.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori said after a few moments, as if to continue the thought, &amp;quot;Besides which, that was all that Shimanouchi was doing. She was raising up Witches from Familiars. So, can Grief Seeds really be what Homura said?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batiste didn't answer, before saying, &amp;quot;Perhaps we are seeing a breakdown in the system...&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Huh?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batiste looked up from his notes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IV. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I have had some time to think about things, Cousin, and I put together some of what you said even before we went over it - before you had to sleep. About Witches and the Puella Magi. I had thought... well, I will illustrate here for you. How many people live in Tokyo?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori blinked several times. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I don't know,&amp;quot; Nori said: &amp;quot;A lot?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;There are over twenty million people in the Tokyo area, cousin. You remember Sapporo? Sapporo was huge, wasn't it?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Yes...&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Sapporo is a little under two million. The entirety of the Sea of Tears does not have that many people of your tribe... But cities the size of Sapporo, these aren't too rare. But ones the size of Tokyo! Those are rare. Only on Earth in this time period, I think.&amp;quot; Batiste looked at the paper. &amp;quot;I wonder... we had no records of Witches, but there were one or two strange accounts that might have been witches...&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I don't get it,&amp;quot; Nori said. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;If a city like Sapporo might support one Puella Magi, then that one girl, lonely as she might be, would have no problems - she might die in battle but there would be homeostasis, right? But in Tokyo - from the crowding - Witches can spread Familiars so much more readily...&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Batiste...&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batiste looked up, at Nori. &amp;quot;Yes?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;... I want to ask you something.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
V. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Are you honest with me?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batiste was silent for a second or two. His belly tensed and his tail lashed in the air, once. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori continued. &amp;quot;I ask because... I know Kozue was trying to do something, with Sayaka. I don't mean make time with her, that made sense. I mean that she had to be doing something, she had to have had some reason. But the plan got out of control, if it was ever in control, and she came to great grief.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori leaned forwards, folding her arms. &amp;quot;Because there was this grand secret about the nature of the Soul Gem that Homura Akemi did not tell us. Because the Wolkenritter had a secret that they would not reveal - not just once or twice, but over and over. All of these things you are saying... they're interesting, and I know you're very clever... you're more clever than a lot of humans I know... and I know that you came to me.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I want to know if there is another secret,&amp;quot; Nori says, &amp;quot;another great secret you are hiding... because I have already lost two precious people. And wicked things so often come in threes.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori opened her mouth - and the mask cracked. Tears welled up in her eyes as she said, voice growing thready and breathless, &amp;quot;Batiste... I cannot do all of this alone... if; if there is some secret, or if you are trying to do anything, I will help, but you have to tell me, please, I cannot keep doing it like this...&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batiste got down on all fours and moved forwards and Nori raised a hand: &amp;quot;No! No, don't get in my lap. I don't want that, damn you! I want to know I can trust you, that you aren't moving me around like some chess piece, that I won't wake up covered in Madoka's blood and with you sadly saying it had to happen!&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batiste brought himself up sharply, claws skittering; he tumbled off the side of Nori's side of the coffee table, landed on his back, and looked upwards. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Alright,&amp;quot; he said: &amp;quot;I'll tell you.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Profile==&lt;br /&gt;
Nori Ankou is a fashion model by night and a high school student at Ohtori by day. In both places she presents herself as a young woman of few words and striking appearances, whether in the social whirl of the Academy or the glamorous heat of &amp;quot;Akai Mirai.&amp;quot; Those who know her beneath this exterior know someone a little tentative, a little sad, and deeply caring. It was not long ago that she was stuck-up, with her nose in the air, nursing a hurt that her parents seemed to choose an infant brother over her as the recipient of their affections... but now she has friends and confidants of whom she is quite fond. She is also fond of otters... she would have to be, for one is her cousin, Batiste, an emissary from the distant Sea of Tears.  For Nori Ankou is also la Sirene de Diamant, a glittering beacon in an imperfect world and one of the Sirens of that far-off sea, pursuing the heights of queenship. With Batiste's guidance, she draws on the alien  abyssal light of the Sea of Tears to guide the innocent and scourge the  wicked, protecting Tokyo (well, parts of Tokyo) from interlopers and  malefactors.                  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Current Status==&lt;br /&gt;
Nori's main pursuit in life at the moment is not the educational studies that befit a school-lady of her age. That would be the obvious thing, even at Ohtori, but instead she has, despite her young age, become one of the leading lights of a rising fashion house, representing &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:darkred&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Akai Mirai&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; - the darker, glamorous, night-time side of the AoAka label. &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:darkred&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Akai Mirai&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; can be anything and everything except blue. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori has also developed as a person. While standing in defense of [[Tsuru]], the creator of AoAka, a cruel stroke from [[Shizuru Fujino]], la Sirene du Nord perished, in a way: the cold winter winds of the north dying like a dream denied. And yet, whether through the strength of a secret promise or the enigmatic truth that &amp;quot;We Only Live To Be Born Again,&amp;quot; someone new rose from the dry husk of du Nord: la Sirene de Diamant, glittering and splendid. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other than her fashion career and desultory efforts towards schoolwork, Nori was also given the mantle of leadership of the Chevaliers when Sayaka Miki left in order to pursue her vendetta against Eri Shimanouchi. Thus far, Nori has been too racked by grief to guide the Chevaliers to anything more ambitious than protecting a portion of Tokyo and trying to stop Sayaka from murdering Shimanouchi in the street. However, this is the sort of thing that draws the eyes of the Mother of Sorrows.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
Nori Ankou was a child with problems. No, they were not problems of misbehavior or foolishness; she was insightful and intelligent, an early reader and a thoughtful person. Her problem was much simpler: She had regular and frequent storms of a crippling, intractable depression. Even in an ideal situation this might have been less than positive. As it was, she was largely subject to displeasure from her parents, who had hoped for something more outgoing in a daughter... someone who could live up to the family's habits of being outgoing, go-getters, even a little ruthless at times. This disapproval didn't come with beatings, it just was an atmosphere of cold isolation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori learned to fake it. It was an amazing power. Her parents, evidently relieved at the sudden brashness and outgoing nature of their child, didn't question too much that she still spent lots of time alone, by herself. (&amp;quot;I need to think!&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I'm tired of seeing other people!&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Other people are dumb, gosh!!&amp;quot;) After all, at school, when she wasn't having a fit, she was fine. It was a relief to those parents, especially when they had a second child on their way - a son, too! Nori did not really like faking it, but it did, initially at least, seem to work. She did feel better... somewhat better... sometimes... However, after years of doing this, she began to despise herself for her false face, while not being able to put it down for long. When her parents informed her that, in light of both her academic irregularity and her penchant for periodically kicking her peers in their pouty pastry-holes, she would be going to a boarding school for her middle school years, she broke down in tears. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That, too, wasn't unusual. They let her run off to the dockside boathouse near the ocean on their seaside estate where she hid. They did not expect that this time, she would take a rowboat - and begin travelling out, as far as she could, tears in her eyes. A storm rose. The boat hit a far shore. As rain pelted down on her, she looked up at a gray eminence: someone who had come and waited, holding a lantern. The woman kissed her brow, bore her up the craggy path to a sheltered lighthouse, and fed her a meal of fish. She introduced herself as the Mother of Sorrows, and told Nori that she was in a home that had been prepared for her long ago. She could stay - forever, if she wished - and would learn many mysteries, and things she had not known she missed. She was a child of the Mother, at whatever remove, and she was not the first to come, nor would she be the last. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori ate her supper, and then said, But I have to go back; I'm to attend school soon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do you mean that? the Mother asked her. You do not have to. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori was silent for a long time. The Mother waited; she poured tea, served a small cake for dessert. Nori answered, finally: I don't know. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Mother smiled, and congratulated her for her honesty. Come back tomorrow, she said: Take the same boat. Come after breakfast, and stay the day. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori left; came back the next day; and here the two of them spoke at length. Nori's ears burned to hear the strange woman praise her for her strength and the force of her will. But I'm awful, Nori said. I decided to lie to everyone so that Mother and Father would not be sad. What's strong about that? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because, the Mother said, you did not lie. You performed, and you have kept the knowledge of yourself. Such strong will is worthy of a Queen. Return to me on this day, next year, and we will speak again. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori went to Ohtori then, and forgot about that entire conversation. She nearly forgot - if she hadn't looked in her old journal, she would have thought it was a dream. But on that day, a clear and blue day, she snuck away from her parents as they cossetted her infant brother, and sailed out of sight of land. Had it been a dream? She thought so, but when she turned around, she found the Mother sitting there. The Mother told her something of the history of the Sea of Tears, and how in time the sorrows of the world came there; how her children had filled the Earth, mingling with the races of mortal man, but how in time they would feel weighed upon by the passage of time. Those who could return to the Sea found themselves growing into strange and wonderful new powers and potencies... but most, in the end, did not. The Mother taught Nori a charm then, and told her to use it, not from here, but at Ohtori, in thirteen months, no more and more less. That charm was to sail away from land, however accomplished, steering without sight and with tears in her eyes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But... Nori thought Ohtori was great fun. Her feelings were lighter, though she still had dark and gloomy spells. She remembered what day it was when the news spoke of storms at sea and storms on land. She slipped off the school grounds, desperately taking a paddleboat; steering it away, trying to make headway against the surging waves. Futility and black depression lay upon her - and then she awoke in that familiar lighthouse, tucked into a warm if spartan bed. The Mother was there, and she was told then of her real purpose. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She could stay if she wished, as many others had, but she held the strength and the will to pursue the course needed. Become a Siren, the Mother said; gather the sorrows of the world and bring them here. In time, you will grow, and should you grow enough, you shall be Queen, as she who rules now under my watch grows old and weary of the task. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori accepted. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was then told, of course, that she was not alone, but...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Relationships==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;'''THE BELOVED'''&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Tsuru]] - Tsuru has made promises and told Nori secret things, and in some ways is thus the most precious person in the whole wide world to her. (There are, of course, other worlds, but we leave that aside for now.) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Madoka Kaname|Madoka]] - Sweet, kind and brave, Madoka may lack some of the advantages that Nori knows that she has had, but the strength of her heart is something that awes and shames Nori when she considers it. One of her fondest memories is watching pilot whales in the early-March cold - the happiest birthday she's ever had. (So far.) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Sayaka Miki|Sayaka]] - Sayaka would have been a step below if she did not have the singular misfortune of being someone who Nori bled to defend. Nori was already charmed by her bravery and the simple sincerity of Sayaka's passion, which struck a resonant chord in the blackwood resonant chamber that is her heart. But now Sayaka nearly died. Nori may cool down a little eventually. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;'''THE BEFRIENDED'''&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Garnet]] - This towering woman is stern, silent, brave and strong. Nori likes her, even if they haven't really spoken much. But at least Nori feels that these things aren't unusual, when it comes to Garnet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;'''THOSE FOR WHOM NEUTRALITY BURNS'''&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Fuu Hououji]] - The Magic Knight and her alter ego are a curious study in contrasts. On the one hand Nori has appreciated her aid in many forms, and on the other hand she did not much enjoy her expedition into the realm of Cephiro to aid Fuu. Their personalities are also not really compatible, or incompatible. And so, Nori knows that when it comes to the question - is Fuu a precious person to you? - her heart says... Maybe. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;'''THE DISLIKED'''&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Eri Shimanouchi|Eri]] - Eri Shimanouchi is not someone Nori has ever really gotten along with, although there was a period where she was gentler, more sincere. She would hate her more for what she does were it not for the tragic fact that... Well: While Nori cannot concur with Eri's actions, she can comprehend not wanting to die. It may not be good, but it isn't evil, either. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;'''THE UNLOVED'''&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Kozue Kaoru|KOZUE]] - She thought that Kozue was a dear friend, perhaps her best friend. Now she knows otherwise. How could she have not seen it? There's a bleeding hole in her heart now. Maybe that has its advantages, but... &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Japanese cuisine is highly seasonal, with many dishes using ingredients only available at the right time. Modern technology has eased this burden, but it is still traditional to eat certain foods at certain times of year. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''Special thanks to Kuniko Saito's player for contributing the Winter entry of this guide!''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Autumn==&lt;br /&gt;
Some in Japan call autumn the 'season for eating.' Coming off the heat of summer, there's a trend towards savory dishes that celebrate the bountiful harvest, and nice warm comfort food to eat as the weather turns colder.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Sanma''' (literal translation 'autumn knife fish'), or Pacific Saury, are sleekly silver fish that rise fat and juicy for fishermen in the fall, considered an iconic centerpiece of autumn cuisine.  They are typically served whole (even as sushi!), and when cooked, sanma are seasoned with salt and grilled over a charcoal fire.  The crispy skin is a much-beloved part of the experience, often garnished with soy sauce.  In early September, Tokyo's Meguro district holds a festival where many thousands of charcoal-grilled sanma are given away for free tasting!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Satsumaimo''', or Japanese sweet potatoes, are purple on the outside, bright yellow on the inside, and are drier in texture, but sweeter and creamier in taste, than yams.  Traditionally, they are roasted whole, on hot stones outside (lending themselves well to the centerpiece of a scene where characters tend, then consume, their roasting sweet potatoes while raking leaves or otherwise enjoying the season; they are also sold, steaming hot, out of the open backs of minivans, by men who attract their customers by singing an iconic lamenting song). Satsumaimo are also popular fried, mashed, or boiled.  The stereotypical consequence of overeating satsumaimo is a popular source of fart jokes among the young (and sometimes the old).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Kabocha''' are essentially Japanese pumpkins.  On the outside they're green rather than orange, and on the inside they're somewhat sweeter than the Western squash, with a rich, butternut flavor.  In the fall, they're made into soups, barbecued, battered and fried as tempura (alongside maple leaves, '''Momiji Tempura''', an unusual autumn treat!), and, yes, even used in Western-style pies.  &lt;br /&gt;
* The most classic comfort food preparation of kabocha, however, is as a filling for breaded and fried croquettes, locally called '''korokke''' -- kabocha (also, satsumaimo) korokke are an often-homemade autumn snack.  Watch out for the hot oil when it pops!  Independent of season, korokke made with regular potatoes, or sometimes with ground meat, are popular throughout the year, and are sold at delightfully hot temperatures for pocket change prices at the konbini.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Matsutake''' pine mushrooms are the most prominent of the fungi that, nurtured by summer's high humidity, pop up for harvesting in the fall.  Impossible to cultivate, they're highly prized and very expensive, starting at a hundred thousand yen per pound for the premium grade, and occupy a similar position of honor in Japanese cuisine as truffles do to the French.  To make a few matsutake mushrooms stretch a long way, they are popularly featured in a seafood broth soup called '''Matsutake Dobin Mushi''', which is served in a clay teapot.  When eaten whole, their delicate, smoky flavor is best preserved by grilling them on an open flame, and they are sometimes sprinkled over rice.  Cheaper mushrooms are also popular in autumn, with hearty mushroom broth sometimes replacing the standard cup of miso soup served alongside a meal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Kaki''', or Japanese persimmons, are ubiquitous in the fall, a sweet and tangy fruit found ripening on trees all over the country.  Making a day out of a kaki picking trip is a common weekend treat.  Besides eating them straight off the tree, they are often served chilled, or dusted with sugar and dried (a treat called '''hoshigaki'''). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Kuri''', also commonly called by their French name '''maron''', are Japanese chestnuts (with a similar omnipresence to kaki, seen on trees everywhere, but an entirely different taste -- creamy, sweet and rich).  They're usually sold uncooked so that they can be prepared at home, but you can get bags of roasted kuri at your supermarket or konbini for a good sidewalk snack.  Roasting your own at the end of a trip to a kuri picking farm makes for a good finale to a September day!  &lt;br /&gt;
* '''Shinmai''', or &amp;quot;new rice,&amp;quot; comprises the first harvests of rice in autumn.  Shinmai is said to be moister, sweeter, and more beautiful than ordinary rice, and starting in late September one of the best ways to prepare it is with kuri boiled alongside rice in the pot, creating a hearty sticky rice dish ('''kuri-gohan''') with a tiny dose of sweetness.  Gingko nuts are also a popular shinmai topping, because of their subtle flavor, which allows the rice's unique qualities to shine through. &lt;br /&gt;
* Boxes of '''kuri-kinton''', or candied chestnuts, are popular gifts for friends and family in autumn -- in this treat, kuri are steamed, mashed, combined with sugar, then twisted into a bun shape.  The snack is popularly enjoyed with a cup of hot tea.  Kuri are also used in many other Japanese sweets, including '''kuri-manju''' cakes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Winter==&lt;br /&gt;
The prototypical dish for winter cuisine in Japan is the '''hot pot''', also known as ''nabemono''. Ingredients are combined in a pot and boiled, forming a rich broth; it is typically shared, with individual diners plucking out their favored morsels, and the broth typically mixed with rice at the end and consumed as a final course. Eating nabemono with your friends would be an excellent reason for a social scene; gather together, stick your legs underneath the kotatsu, and enjoy the warmth of friendship and flavor. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nabemono is very versatile. Indeed, the name can be translated as &amp;quot;cooking pot stuff.&amp;quot; Here are some common styles of nabemono; all of them can be considered to have vegetables such as bok choy and daikon involved, as well as varieties of mushroom. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Sukiyaki:''' Thinly sliced beef (sometimes pork) simmered with vegetables and a soy sauce/sugar/sweet rice wine sauce. Before eating, the hot ingredients are usually dipped in a small bowl of raw beaten egg. Common at year-end parties and suitable for all ages. &lt;br /&gt;
* '''Shabu-shabu:''' Thin sliced beef is boiled in water or broth and eaten with dipping sauces. This dish may be considered similar to the &amp;quot;fondue&amp;quot; style meals available in America. It is quite suitable for service with fine ingredients, particularly wagyu beef and other marks of conspicuous consumption. &lt;br /&gt;
* '''Yosenabe:''' A combination style of nabemono which combines all sorts of things and cooks them well together: meat, seafood, tofu, egg, and vegetables. A common &amp;quot;homestyle&amp;quot; meal, often with a thicker sauce than is typical for nabemono. &lt;br /&gt;
* '''Yudofu:''' Nabemono prepared in a kombu stock and featuring tofu as the primary protein, with citrus and spicy sauces. Socially considered as vegetarian, though small amounts of fish are typically involved. &lt;br /&gt;
* '''Chankonabe:''' A nabemono dish that is a common restaurant meal, it was originally a heavy dish eaten by sumo wrestlers to put on weight efficiently. Very high in protein, often with chicken, fish, beef and various vegetables, chankonabe is a good meal for growing young'ns when served in less heroic proportions. &lt;br /&gt;
* '''Ishikari-nabe:''' A Hokkaido specialty, this hot pot features salmon and potato as well as butter. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Oden''' is another characteristic winter dish, prepared in a manner similar to hot pot but made available as its own individual dish in many venues. Featuring boiled eggs, daikon, fishcakes and a soy/dashi broth, most convenience stores have a bubbling pot of oden to sell by the cup during the winter months. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Tori zosui''' is another winter favorite; a thick rice soup with chicken, often prepared with leftover rice and served with sliced scallions on top.  It's an excellent and popular way to warm up after a bitterly cold day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Winter Holidays====&lt;br /&gt;
There are also some specifically traditional holiday dishes, associated with an individual day or days. Your character is likely to eat them, and may well help prepare them!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Christmas Cake:''' These cakes are typically a simple sponge cake, frosted with whipped cream and decorated with strawberries plus a chocolate plate that says &amp;quot;Merry Christmas!&amp;quot; Something of a more structured strawberry shortcake.  It is eaten on Christmas Eve, which is, in Japan, typically celebrated as a romantic holiday a la Western Valentine's Day, and is thus perhaps the hardest night of the year to get a table at a nice restaurant.  Yule Log cakes are also popular.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''KFC:''' There is a tradition of obtaining Kentucky Fried Chicken meals as a Christmas dish, in part because turkey is an absolute unknown in Japan. A 1974 advertising campaign started a tradition, and now a bucket of KFC &amp;quot;Christmas Chicken&amp;quot; (with salad and a cake) is typical fare on Christmas, often ordered months in advance to beat the lines. &lt;br /&gt;
* '''Osechi ryori:''' An umbrella term for food prepared specially for the New Year's period, these dishes come in a huge range of ingredients that are meant to encourage good luck and fortune for the upcoming year. They are typically sweet, sour, dried or otherwise preserved, as they come from a time before refrigeration was common, and when many markets would be closed for some time.  Traditionally, nothing should be cooked on New Year's Day, so the preparation of osechi is finished before New Year's Eve.  Osechi ryori is arguably the most important meal of the year, with each dish serving as a symbol or wish for the coming year.  The food is even eaten in a special way by using chopsticks that are rounded on both ends; one side for the humans to use, one side for the gods.  There are so many varieties that space would prohibit easy discussion. A more detailed discussion is present at [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osechi Wikipedia] including a plan for a three-tiered &amp;quot;jubako&amp;quot; box.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Toshikoshi soba:''' This is eaten at night on New Year's Eve.  A simple meal with buckwheat soba with toppings such as seaweed, fried tofu, or vegetables. The long noodles are said to symbolize a long life, their consumption representing &amp;quot;crossing over from one year to the next,&amp;quot; the meaning of ''toshi-koshi''. Another theory is that it is very simple to make - a relief after preparing several days' worth of osechi for the upcoming celebrations!  It is often considered bad luck to leave any of your toshikoshi soba uneaten.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''O-zoni:''' A soup eaten during on the morning of New Year's Day, considered very lucky, featuring local ingredients and lots of mochi. While many areas have their own specialties, the typical Kanto-area meal uses a soy sauce/dashi broth, squared and grilled mochi, and meat and vegetables to preference. &lt;br /&gt;
* '''Nanakusu gayu:''' Eaten on January 7th, this is a collection of seven wild edible herbs eaten with rice in order to ease the stomach after all of the things listed above, which have been eaten over the course of several weeks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Spring==&lt;br /&gt;
Spring cuisine is all about appreciating the beginning of the growing season, as shoots and ferns unfurl from the ground, and petals blossom on fruit trees. These events are cause for major public celebrations, and, in turn, the fruits and vegetables in question are heavily featured in a variety of dishes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Besides the bounty of the rich brown earth, there are naturally seasonal selections from the deep blue sea: &lt;br /&gt;
* '''Tai''', or Red Sea Bream, are rich-tasting fish that are in season in spring, and famously symbolize good luck in Japan.  Besides eating them as sashimi or grilled with salt, '''Tai-chasuke''' is a dish where tai is served on rice with dashi fish stock poured on top.&lt;br /&gt;
:* For people who can't abide the fish, but still want their good luck, there is also '''Taiyaki''', a traditional Japanese sweet named after and shaped like tai.  They're filled with '''anko''' (sweet red azuki bean paste), and often served at cherry blossom viewing parties (called hanami).&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Ika''' (Squid) is available good and fresh throughout the year, they're sweetest in the spring.  '''Hotaru-Ika''' (firefly squid) are particularly popular served as a snack accompanying drinks, prepared in a variety of ways, including as sashimi, sauted, or boiled in soy sauce.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Magaki''' (Pacific Oysters) are in season from late winter to spring, where they become bigger and sweeter.  They're often served in an all-you-can-eat format, grilled, steamed, or even fried.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Sansai''' are much-beloved Japanese mountain vegetables that sprout in spring and are enthusiastically consumed.  Many are picked from the wild; indeed, most are difficult to cultivate on a mass scale, and they're often quite bitter and tough until boiled or otherwise processed to consume.  Besides serving them raw in salads, seared on the grill, or battered and fried as tempura, there are numerous specific dishes unique to a given mountain vegetable.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Nanohana''' are the young spring shoots of rapeseed plants; though they're available in plain green at supermarkets for most of the year (and are closely related to broccoli -- the florets, stems and leaves are all edible), in spring they are prized for their bright yellow flower buds, which arrive in late March, in between the plum and cherry blossoms.  Wandering through yellow fields of nanohana is a much-beloved practice, and fields outside of Tokyo are planted and sculpted into mazes, not unlike corn mazes in North America during Halloween.  Unlike many sansai, nanohana isn't bitter or tough, so no pretreatment is required to enjoy it.  Flowering nanohana is traditionally used as a side dish called '''ohitashi''', where it is briefly boiled until tender, and served with soy sance, dashi, bonito flakes and/or toasted sesame seeds.  '''Karashiae''' is a similar dish, but the soy sauce is seasoned with spicy mustard.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Takenoko''' (literally &amp;quot;child of bamboo&amp;quot;) is a bamboo shoot, which can only be picked in a very tight window of the correct size and tenderness.  Even then, takenoko must be boiled in rice bran water (with a couple of hot chili peppers added to, paradoxically, increase the bamboo's sweetness) for over an hour, to soften the flesh and reduce its bitterness.  '''Takenoko-gohan''', or bamboo shoot rice, involves steaming precooked takenoko in rice (sometimes with fried tofu and shiitake mushrooms), flavored with soy sauce, dashi, mirin (sweet rice wine) sake and sugar.  As a solo entree, larger pieces of bamboo cooked in a similar seasoning blend are served as '''takenoko no nimono''' (&amp;quot;simmered bamboo shoots&amp;quot;).  Takenoko is also featured prominently in stir fry, in the spring.&lt;br /&gt;
* Other sansai, essentially all of which require advance parboiling, include '''Fuki''' (Butterbur), in which both the stalks and buds are used; spiraling, curled '''Kogomi''' (Ostrich Ferns) which are blanched and simmered; '''Shungiku''' (Spring Chrysanthemum) which are often served with a sesame dressing, or added to soups and hot pots; '''Tara no Me''' (the fresh shoots of the Angelica tree, sometimes called the &amp;quot;king&amp;quot; of sansai) which are particularly popular as tempura; '''Wasabina''' (Wasabi Mustard Greens) often used in salads; and '''Yama Udo''' (Mountain Asparagus) which is typically thinly sliced and pickled in miso, vinegar and sugar, or, if served fresh, can be grilled or sauteed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Ichigo''' (strawberries) are in season in Japan from December to March, making them the go-to fruit for early spring.  They're much beloved for their ability to brighten up this dreary time of year, and appear everywhere, in everything.  Particularly fancy breeds of premium berry are marketed as high class gifts in department stores, but anyone can buy normal strawberries -- including going out to greenhouses to pick them, a spring activity known as '''ichigo kari'''.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Daifuku''' are a very popular traditional Japanese sweet, comprised of a glutinous rice ball filled with sweet white or red anko, but in spring, they're sold with an entire strawberry inside, and called '''ichigo daifuku'''.  These are hawked from the food stall to the konbini and back again, and are best enjoyed with a cup of green tea.&lt;br /&gt;
* Strawberry shortcakes in Japan are sponge cake and whipped cream layer cakes with fresh strawberries between the layers and on top (Christmas cakes are usually strawberry shortcakes), which is a little different from the cake with the same name in the West.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Ume''', the Japanese plum, is the first major tree to blossom in spring, and its flowering is avidly anticipated by the populace (though without quite the intensity of the excitement surrounding sakura blossoms, see below).  Accompanying all this hype are uses of its fruit flavor.  Since ume is often pickled as unbelivably sour, salty '''umeboshi''', it's available year-round, but when the weather starts to warm and spring is around the corner, ume-flavored chips (which are sort of like fruity salt and vinegar chips) and other snacks and sweets, appear on the shelves of the supermarkets and konbini.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Sakura''' blossoms are the main event for the celebration of the arrival of spring (even though ume come first and are also celebrated separately).  In Tokyo, they begin to bloom in April, and as the public eagerly follows the cherry blossom front (as forecasted by the weather bureau, as it moves from South to North) to find out exactly when the blossoms will pop, you'll find sakura-flavored (or at least sakura-colored) everything; there's Sakura Kit Kats, Starbooks lattes, donuts, tarts, roll cakes, ice cream, taiyaki, mochi, and more.  Sakura fever turns the shelves of the supermarket bright pink.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Sakura-mochi''' is the iconic traditional sweet associated with hanami (as well as Hinamatsuri, the Girls' Festival, celebrated on March 3rd); it is the sweet, pink mochi of spring, wrapped around anko and topped with an edible leaf from a sakura tree (which is the only part of the sweet, actually, that involves actual sakura).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Bento====&lt;br /&gt;
'''Hanami''' (literally, &amp;quot;flower viewing&amp;quot;) is the traditional Japanese custom of throwing a party under flowering trees (especially sakura trees) in order to properly appreciate the blossoms in the brief time that they're around -- only a week or two a year!  People gather in huge numbers, play or listen to music, and hold elaborate feasts on picnic blankets.  Although there are often food stalls in larger parks, preparing and packing your own food is common, making this a great place to discuss '''bento''', the Japanese boxed lunch.&lt;br /&gt;
* Making yourself a great lunchbox is satisfying, but the true importance of bento comes from the feelings you put into preparing them for other people.  It's a chance to imbue love into every bite -- parents make bento for their children if they can, and giving a specially prepared bento to a friend (or crush!) is a great demonstration of affection. &lt;br /&gt;
* Bento boxes (which can, themselves, vary greatly, ranging from elegant to cute to steadfastly functional to straight-up disposable -- and the same is all true of the chopsticks packed with them) are usually designed with a few subdivisions, to separate small portions of multiple dishes, such as rice, meat, and pickled or cooked vegetables.  Everything tends to be served in bite-sized pieces, for convenience, and it's not uncommon for individual pieces of food to be cut into whimsical shapes, such as apple-rabbits, hot dog-octopi, and so forth.&lt;br /&gt;
* Taking the decorative element one step further, '''kyaraben''' (&amp;quot;character bento,&amp;quot; as in anime/manga character) and '''okekakiben''' (&amp;quot;picture bento&amp;quot;) arrange all of the elements of a bento into a recognizable image.  Such meals require snapping a picture on your cell phone to immortalize your beautiful lunch before eating it!&lt;br /&gt;
* Not all bento are made by a loved one; anyone can buy bento from convenience stores or supermarkets, and some restaurants specialize in takeout bento.  You can even purchase bento at railway stations ('''ekiben'''), which is a surprisingly old tradition with a huge variety of offerings, where local specialties compete for the appetites of travelers.  Purchasing a box lunch at a station shop -- or while on a train, for longer trips -- remains one of the special treats of Japanese railway travel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Summer==&lt;br /&gt;
Executive summary about the themes of summer cuisine in Japan.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Savory:&lt;br /&gt;
* Somen -- Mikoto&lt;br /&gt;
::* Nagashi somen&lt;br /&gt;
::* Zaru somen&lt;br /&gt;
* A non-somen cold noodle way to beat the heat is with '''Hiyashi Chuka''' (literally, 'Chilled Chinese'), a cold pasta salad composed of ramen noodles, arranged artfully (and VERY colorfully) with vegetable (and sometimes meat) garnish.  Thinly sliced carrots, cucumbers and tomatoes are popular toppings, and ham and shrimp are not unheard of.  Some chilled sour soup broth is drizzled on top.  Konbini serve prepackaged Hiyashi Chuka with a hardboiled egg.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Hiyayakko''' (sometimes called hiyakko or yakko-dofu) is chilled tofu, served with various toppings; its name refers to the servants of samurai in the Edo period. Chopped green onion, dried tuna flakes, and soy sauce are one common combination of toppings, but you can also find hiyayakko topped with shiso, yuzu rind, daikon, ginger, plum paste, or even mustard.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Rei shabu''' is a pork dish, related to the popular wintertime shabu-shabu (a hot pot) - though rei shabu is more akin to a cold pork salad. Unlike regular shabu-shabu, the vegetables of rei shabu - things like daikon, cucumbers, tomatos, green beans and carrots - are raw, and the thinly-sliced pork, once boiled, is dipped in ice water to cool it down. Rei shabu is served with a variety of cold sauces, like miso or sesame sauce, and is sometimes served with somen noodles.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Unagi''' or freshwater eel is a common ingredient in Japanese cooking, although it's also so highly prized that there's a day in midsummer when one is ''expected'' to eat unagi (specifically ''doyou no ushi no hi,'' the midsummer day of the Ox from the Chinese zodiac cycle; it may fall anywhere between mid-July to early August). Since eating raw eel poses a high risk of food poisoning, unagi is ''always'' cooked, frequently grilled. In particular, the cooking style known as ''kabayaki'' involves splitting the eel along either the back or the belly, gutting and boning it, cutting it into square filets, skewering, and dipping in a sweet soy sauce-based sauce prior to broiling on the grill. Once unagi has been cooked, it may be served donburi-style over rice (which includes the dish known as ''unaju''), or torn up and mixed with the rice to make ''hitsumabushi'', which is especially popular in the Nagoya area.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sweet:&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Watermelons''' are considered a luxury in Japan, and are grown accordingly by farmers as a gut-pleasing treat.  The rind is thinner and the flesh around the seeds are sweeter as compared to their Western counterparts.  As such you can find them in many unusual shapes(cube, face, Godzilla egg!?) which can make them ornamental and expensive. The Densuke watermelon of Hokkaido considered to be the ferrari of these tasty treats with prices ranging up to 400,000 yen.  However their luxurious nature makes them the perfect gift to offer your favorite senpai during the hotter months of the year!  Summer gatherings and festivals aren't complete without a round of Suikawari(Watermelon Splitting).&lt;br /&gt;
:*Suikawari: A game between friends where a person is handed a wooden stick or bokken, blindfolded, spun three times then told to have at it. ’Official’ Rules for Suikawari: &lt;br /&gt;
::#Players placed between 5-7m away from the watermelon. &lt;br /&gt;
::#Blindfold tested with large yen bills.(May not apply to the 'Ohtori' rich.) &lt;br /&gt;
::#Time Limit of 3 minutes. &lt;br /&gt;
::#Scoring determined on how clean a break was made.&lt;br /&gt;
::#Melon collectively devoured after break is made for bonding between friends.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Kakigori''' is shaved ice covered in flavored syrup like strawberry, lemon, melon, bubblegum, or a variety of other festive flavors, along with actual toppings like mochi, sweetened red beans, fruit slices, or even ice cream. Unlike a snow cone Kakigori is soft, cloud-like, and without much texture. Kakigori is a popular dessert when on the go, and many summer festival food stalls can be found shaving gigantic blocks of ice into this cool, fluffy treat. &lt;br /&gt;
* '''Garigari-kun''' is a particularly popular brand of Japanese ice pop.  At a glance, they are similar enough to any other ice cream bar, coming individually packaged (at a reasonable price!) with a large-mouthed mascot.  Within is a slab of ice milk on a stick, notable for having bits of ice intentionally included to give it that gari-gari crunch.  The most notable aspect of these treats is the variety of flavour - while fruit and soda flavours are commonly available, Gari Gari Kun is infamous for limited-time flavours such as Onsen Manju, Cream Pull, Rare Cheese, or Spaghetti Napolitan.  Yes, really.  And if your stick says Atari (winner), you can get another one for free!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Drinks: &lt;br /&gt;
* '''Mugicha''' (barley tea) is just the thing to cool a person down on a hot summer's day, or even a hot summer's night, since it's caffeine-free. Plain mugicha is a mellow brown color and has a savory, roasted taste with a touch of bitterness; sometimes it's sweetened with sugar. It can be purchased at any konbini or made at home using roasted barley teabags.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ramune -- Lera Camry&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Umeshu''' is an aromatic liqueur made by steeping unripened ume fruits (Japanese plums) in alcohol (typically shouchu, also called white liqueur, but also sake, brandy, whisky, or other liqueurs) and sugar, with a refreshingly sweet, tangy taste. Its alcohol content varies with the drink used: usually around 10-15% ALC, about the same as wine or mead, or, at its strongest, diluted sake, but sometimes as low as 5% (similar to many beers) or as high as 25% (like undiluted sake, or fortified wine). It is believed that umeshu has many health benefits; it's said to relieve exhaustion, promote digestive health, and stimulate the appetite. The legal drinking age in Japan is 20, but due to lax enforcement, it's relatively easy to gain access to alcohol for enterprising students, largely through convenience stores or umeshu brewed at home (which is quite easy!), or sometimes through vending machines, though these are becoming less common. The umeshu-tasting festivals do reportedly check identification at entry! Of course, there's always nonalcoholic umeshu - though some brands are reported not to taste much like umeshu at all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Festival Food====&lt;br /&gt;
Summer is the season of festivals so let's do a food stall feature!&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Yakitori''' -- literally grilled chicken, but not necessarily chicken!  The important part is it's bite-sized food on skewers, grilled over charcoal.  It's a regular festival and event food, and also popular to have while drinking!  It's pretty ubiquitous.  Generally it's going to be meat charred on sticks, often (maybe even mostly) with vegetables as well.  It might go with salt, but with tend to have sauce; 'tare' sauce is one option, a mix of sake, soy sauce, mirin, and sugar, but the idea is something sweet and savory.  The particular cut of meat isn't all that important--while the most traditional is chicken, as mentioned it might have beef, octopus, or sausage just as a start.  &lt;br /&gt;
:* Fish on a stick! That's not just an exclamation, it's also sweetfish, or '''Ayu''' - a freshwater fish with a light texture. Often seen at fireworks displays, it's a popular festival snack associated with summertime. Grilled or barbequed, it's topped with salt, and its crispy outer flesh hides a distinctive sweet taste. Some people even say it tastes similar to a watermelon! It's served whole, and it is artfully placed on a stick in a wavelike swimming shape, to give an impression of swimming up against a current.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Karaage''' -- While the Curse of the Colonel is infamous amongst baseball fans in Japan, don’t mistake Western fried chicken for Karaage.  Karaage is fried chicken where flavors like sake, soy sauce, garlic or ginger are added to the chicken before the flour is added rather than simply into the flour itself.  This process adds a juiciness to the meat that Kentucky Fried Chicken simply lacks!  While this frying style was originally from China, it’s been adapted into something uniquely Japanese that they can be proud of.  Each region of Japan has it’s own regional twist on this delicious treat such as Nagoya’s spicy version or Gifu’s karaage that’s black due to a type of algae mixed in. &lt;br /&gt;
* '''Takoyaki''' is a crispy savoury snack made of diced boiled octopus legs covered in a wheat flour-based batter, shaped into balls. While octopus is the operative ingredient - it's right there in the name! - takoyaki can also contain things like seasonal vegetables, tempura scraps (or tenkasu), pickled ginger, and green onion. It's typically served with okonomi sauce - a sweeter and less salty cousin of Worcestershire sauce - and mayonnaise, but can also be served with goma-dare (sesame and vinegar sauce) or ponzu (soy sauce, with dashi and citrus vinegar), amongst other variations. It originated in Osaka, but is now popular throughout Japan. Takoyaki is typically eaten by stabbing the ball with a toothpick, and served in paper dishes which resemble boats. It's also served piping hot, so be careful not to eat too quickly!&lt;br /&gt;
* Ikayaki -- Pluto&lt;br /&gt;
* Hotate Butter Yaki&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Okonomiyaki''' is a pancake or omelette-like dish served, much like their comparisons, with a variety of toppings and fillings. There are two main ways this savory dish is served! the Osaka-style has the extra chosen toppings mixed in to the batter and cooked together and pan-fried, served much like a stuffed griddle cake. The Hiroshima-style version serves it much like a layered cake, with the chosen extra toppings stacked on top of the batter cake one after another. Cabbage, green onion and pork seem to be the most common ingredients, but locations that serve the dish have many different ingredients on request, such as vegetables, seafood (such as octopus, shrimp, and squid) beef, and cheeses. Certain locations offer more unique varieties such as with fried noodles or chicken! &lt;br /&gt;
* '''Yakisoba''' is stir-fried noodles, plain and simple. While sometimes made with buckwheat soba noodles, most servings are prepared with thinner ramen-style noodles, making it quick and easy to prepare. The dark sweet-and-savoury sauce gives the fried dish a tang, and diced vegetables and meat are usually thrown in - ranging from chicken to pork to hot dogs to Spam, depending on the locality. While an actual dish is sometimes used, the festival food is commonly served on a humble paper plate - or in a bun, for a meal on the go.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Yakitomorokoshi''' is just corn on the cob (on a stick), except that it isn't 'just' anything.  Rather than being boiled, buttered and salted, its preparation is uniquely Japanese.  After a brief boil to soften it up, chefs throw their corn on a charcoal grill and brush the corn's surface with some combination of soy sauce, mirin and sugar, which forms a glaze.  The smell is amazing, somehow nutty, salty and sweet at the same time, and many a customer is led to this stall by simply following their nose.&lt;br /&gt;
* Tai is a spring fish but '''taiyaki''' is as valid an entry at any summer festival as it is at hanami viewing.  These traditional Japanese pastries are shaped like the fish they're named after, and are somewhere between a waffle and a cake, stuffed with sweet azuki red bean paste (or, more recently, custard, chocolate, or even cheese or meat).  Part of the fun of taiyaki at festivals is that you get to see them made in specially molded griddles, right there in the stall -- and the art of flipping over a half-baked 'fish' with a chopstick without getting batter and filling everywhere is fine, indeed...&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Crepes''' - A popular street food that can be sweet or savory, although the sweet variety is more popular in Japan.  They are often served as a cone and filled with cream or custard and a kind of fruit such as banana, strawberry, blueberry, peach, kiwi or apple.  They can also be filled with ice cream, chestnuts or almonds,or if someone if filling very decadent a cake topping such as cheesecake, brownie or chocolate cake.  A sauce is drizzled among the inner folds and over the top of the crepe such as strawberry jam, chocolate, caramel, nutella or kuromitsu.  The more savory kind of crepe, often just called 'snack crepes' often include tuna, egg, bacon, cheese, sausage, ham, spinach or chicken as their filling and then topped off with a sauce such as Japanese mayonnaise, curry sauce, pizza sauce, teriyaki sauce or even salsa.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Dango''' -- Dumplings made of rice flour called Mochiko and served on sticks with many regional varieties of the sweet treat(or savory in Gifu where they’re served with soy sauce!).  The Japanese have been eating dango since the Jomon period and how they’re served has evolved over time.  Offerings of dango are made during special festivals to the kami for purification purposes before taking them home and eating them for good luck.  It’s referenced in the odango hairstyle(o- is honorific) which in Japan can be conflated with any variety of bun.  Just watch out calling anyone sporting this kind of hairstyle odango-atama(bun-head or dumpling-head) unless you’re charming enough to get away with it.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Jaga bata''' means butter potato, and it's pretty much exactly that -- potatoes, steamed in wood ovens, and stuffed with butter, salt, and soy sauce.  It's especially popular to use the smaller 'reject' potatoes for this purpose, turning them into a nearly bite-sized street food, but the paper boats they come in sometimes just have one big potato instead.&lt;br /&gt;
* Karumeyaki&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Castella''' (or kasutera) is a fairly simple sponge cake, made with sugar, flour, eggs, and starch syrup. Their creation dates back to Portugese merchants in the 16th century, and the modern Japanese castella cake is a specialty of Nagasaki owing to this connection. Full-sized castella can be bought year-round, but the bite-sized '''baby castella''' (bebi kasutera) is a popular festival snack. Besides the plain recipe, there are varieties made with powdered green tea, brown sugar, honey, etc.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Wata-ame''' or watagashi is cotton candy, usually very similar to the Western version, also known as fairy floss or candy floss in various parts of the world. Sugar which has been melted into a liquid state, and flavorings and/or colorings added, is spun into tiny strands, and gathered on a stick to serve, sometimes covered with a decorative plastic bag (usually adorned with anime or other artwork) for protection until it's eaten. Wata-ame dissolves quickly in contact with water and readily melts again in high heat, so it's not something to save for ''much'' later!&lt;br /&gt;
* Ringo Ame&lt;br /&gt;
::* Ichigo Ame&lt;br /&gt;
::* Mikan Ame&lt;br /&gt;
::* Ume Ame&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Choco bananas''' are frozen banana treats, covered in chocolate. While the chocolate is traditionally milk chocolate, there are also varieties made with white chocolate, strawberry chocolate, or other varieties - which can make for a dazzling rainbow of snacks. They're often topped with sprinkles, nuts, coconut flakes, or other sweets. Don't worry about getting your hands dirty, because they're served on sticks, just like toffee apples. Choco bananas are staples of Summer festivals, and they're a common sight in stalls.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Favorite Foods==&lt;br /&gt;
Everybody has a favorite food -- and often it isn't just the food, but the story of why they like it, who they like it prepared by, and where and when they most like to eat it.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Add your character's favorite food to this bullet list -- one long paragraph recommended.  Please include your character's name and both a cultural summary of the food and its particular significance and specifics for the character.  It's okay if your food was mentioned already elsewhere in the guide -- no two bowls of ramen are alike, after all.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Adrien Agreste|Adrien's]] favorite food is '''pizza with his favorite toppings being cheese, mushrooms, pepperoni and sausage'''. Due to his carefully watch model diet, he doesn't get to have it often, but it's a delightful treat for him when it does. It especially becomes an even more favorite when his friends invite him to go and share a pizza with them. It's just how it's like from the shows he watched on tv!&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Eri Shimanouchi|Eri Shimanouchi's]] favorite foods are '''Okonomiyaki''' and '''Modanyaki'''.  Although she's been a vegetarian since starting middle school, her love of these varieties of Osakan soulfood hasn't changed, as it reminds her of happier times during her youth.  Instead she's just sworn off red meat varieties and substitutes seafood instead.  It is extremely rare for her to eat it in front of friends though because she's embarrassed about how messily she eats it.  Her favorite location for it is a small grill in Ogikubo Tokyo, which was within walking distance from her former territory in Shinjuku.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Fuu Hououji|Fuu Hououji's]] favorite food is '''tessa''', fugu sashimi which has been sliced so thinly that it's almost transparent. Only specially trained and licensed sushi chefs are even allowed to prepare tessa, due to the potential danger of pufferfish poisoning; as such, it's an expensive luxury dish, not something that even the Hououji family goes out for very often - but that rarity is part of why Fuu enjoys it so much, when she has the opportunity. (In an interesting bit of irony, the Emperor of Japan is forbidden by law from ever eating fugu out of concern for his health, making Fuu's favorite dish something that the Emperor himself can never eat.)&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Hotaru Tomoe|Hotaru Tomoe's]] favorite food is '''nihon soba''', buckwheat noodles.  They're a very plain and easily digestible meal, but that isn't why Hotaru likes them; rather, it's because she associates them with the tradition of staying up late at night on New Years Eve.  Every year Hotaru gets to have them, it's another year she's still alive.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Kozue Kaoru|Kozue Kaoru’s]] favorite foods are the '''Milk Shake''' and '''Cake'''.  She will never admit it though, because she likens those things to this nostalgic sweetness invoked by the memories of the most important people in her life.  Part of growing up she feels is pretending she doesn’t like these childhood treats.   All the same, whenever her twin Miki invites her out to a small bakery on Southern Cross Island, it’s rare that she refuses outright.  Instead she complains the whole trip.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Madoka Kaname|Madoka Kaname's]] favorite food is '''cream stew''', a popular yoshoku dish firmly established as a standard, home-cooked meal.  '''Yoshoku''' ('western food') refers to a uniquely Japanese style of Western-influenced cooking which originated during the Meiji Restoration.  Despite its name, there is no cream in cream stew; it is rather based in béchamel sauce, a white roux, which can be bought in granular packet form in stores.  It's very colorful, with chicken (or sometimes pork), potatoes, carrots, onions and green peas, and its mild taste is especially popular with kids.  It is also called 'white stew', a name which appeared in 1947 when Japanese schools started serving stew with skim milk added to it, to supplement calcium for children to help them recover from lack of nutrition during the war.  Papa Kaname prepares it with homemade chicken stock!&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Marinette Dupain-Cheng|Marinette]] is particularly fond of '''macarons'''.  A French cookie delicately formed from meringue and almond flour, these delicate treats come in a wide variety of flavours and colours.  Marinette is admittedly biased in the source, as her family's bakery makes them frequently.  In addition to being light, sweet, and melt-in-your-mouth delicious, macarons lend themselves well to an artistic flair.  The batter is very easy to colour, and the little puffs can easily be adorned with bits of icing.  Just picture a cute little kitty-cat, or a deceitful hamburger, or a ridiculously elaborate replica of the Discworld - the sky is as ever the limit.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Mikoto Minagi|Mikoto Minagi's]] favourite food is Mai Tokiha's '''ramen noodles'''! Ramen is a common Japanese dish - wheat noodles, served in broth which is typically meat- or fish-based, with a variety of toppings. Many regions of Japan have their own variation of ramen: Tokyo's own spin on the recipe involves curly noodles and chicken broth with a little dashi, though perhaps Mai's own tendency to use chicken in her ramen is also because chicken is cheaper than some of the other meats in the market. Mai's ramen noodles were Mikoto's introduction to the fact that food could taste /good/ instead of just being plain sustenance, and she is forever grateful to her friend for revealing that there were wonders of taste she had never before experienced. She'll never be able to forget the wonders of that very first meal. Though Mai can make many other more complicated dishes which exhibit her skills as a cook, Mikoto's first choice for dinner is always Mai's ramen. It's never quite the same thing twice - there are always different ingredients on sale, after all!&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Steven Universe|Steven Universe's]] favorite food will of course always be '''hot dogs'''! A packaged meat in a tubular shape, generally pork, beef or turkey with seasonings, is grilled until plump, then served on a bun with an assortment of condiments and toppings such as diced onions, chili, cheeses, peppers and pickles. They hold great significance besides great flavor, such as fond memories, or recalling the times of Beach City. They even help use alien technology*! Whenever he bites in to one, it all comes back to him in the best way possible.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Utena Tenjou|Utena Tenjou's]] favorite food is '''rose tea''', especially as prepared at her favorite tea shop on Southern Cross Island, Magnolia Cafe.  There's just something noble about the way it tastes!  Rose is a more popular flavor in Japan than it is in Western cuisine, and there are both green tea and black tea versions (plus a heavily sweetened rose milk tea!).  It is not uncommon to blend a rose tea with sakura flavor as well.  &lt;br /&gt;
* [[Westar|Westar's]] favourite Earth food is '''donuts'''.  These sweet treats are made of dough, cut into rings and deep-fried to a crispy puffy perfection.  There are a thousand and one variants on the simple donut, with as many flavours to try as one might imagine.  Common additions to the dough are spices, fruit, or chocolate.  Many donuts, after frying, are subsequently dipped into glaze, coated with icing, or dusted with sugar.  Amid all these choices, though, Westar's preference is for simple and familiar.  An uncoated plain donut, whose ring contains a heart shape as its hole, the hallmark of Kaoru-chan's stand.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Plagg|Plagg's]] favorite food is cheese.  His most beloved kind is camembert, but he loves any kind of cheese.  Old, string, stinky, cheese sticks, marbled, blue, etc Just set any kind of cheese out and he'll devour it, just be careful you don't lose a finger as a result.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Nori Ankou|Nori Ankou's]] favorite dish is '''grilled marine snails'''. As a child Nori's parents would often grill shellfish when the weather was cool but not yet snow-encrusted, and the simple flavors were a fond memory for her, as were dashing the shells open and playing with the shards as if she were a Jomon princess. Her particular taste for marine snails was developed in the sea-caves near Ohtori when she was laying low, and when they were her only food. She cooks them in a traditional Japanese way: the snails are arrayed in their shells atop a charcoal fueled grill with the openings turned up, and each is anointed with a sauce - whether shoyu, mirin, or sake. The meat of the snail is tricky to pull out compared to the French escargot, although she often has the aid of Batiste's clever little paws. It is a private sort of treat that feels eternal, and the connection to her childhood is gratifying too - even if she would never admit it. (She still plays with the shells, but she takes greater care to wash them off.) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Least Favorite Foods==&lt;br /&gt;
Everybody has at least one food they despise, too, and often an interesting reason why!  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Add your character's least favorite food to this bullet list -- one long paragraph recommended.  Please include your character's name and both a cultural summary of the food and its particular significance and specifics for the character.  It's okay if your food was mentioned already elsewhere in the guide -- no two bowls of ramen are alike, after all.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Hotaru Tomoe|Hotaru Tomoe's]] least favorite food is '''milk'''.  Everyone is always nagging her to drink it so that it will make her strong, but this is obviously, empirically not the case.  In Japan, milk only became widely consumed after the westernization.  It's also worth noting that something on the grocery store shelf called 'miruku' may or may not be real milk -- if it's 100% real, it will be labeled with the Japanese word for milk, 'gyuunyuu'.  Hotaru hates both in any event.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Madoka Kaname]] claims that her least favorite food is '''inago no tsukudani''', a Japanese dish featuring locusts that are boiled in soy sauce and sugar, but it is a fairly safe bet that she named it as, like, the least offensive possible choice.  It's said this dish originated from famines suffered because of locust swarms; after locusts ate all the crops, there was nothing left to eat but the pests themselves.  &lt;br /&gt;
* [[Mikoto Minagi|Mikoto Minagi's]] least favourite food is the '''super spicy curry bun'''. Curry buns, or kare pan, are a popular Japanese snack: curry wrapped in doughnut-like dough which is coated in bread crumbs, and deep-fried or occasionally baked. Toyofuku, in Asakusa Traditional District, claims it's been making its own version - with prime cuts of wagyu beef and handmade panko breadcrumbs - for over a century! While many curry buns are made with relatively mild curry, the super spicy curry bun is a pre-packaged pastry of death, hot enough to keep people awake when they're working long hours. Mikoto happened to steal a pack when she first came down from her mountain home, totally unaccustomed to the fact that spicy food existed. Her heightened senses and complete inexperience with hot food combined to make it a horrible, painful experience, which left her rampaging through the school as a dark blur which led students to talk about the Fire-Mouthed Cat Demon which haunted Ohtori's grounds ever since. On that day, Mikoto learned a painful, awful lesson: ''food can be an enemy, too.'' While Mikoto hates all types of spicy food, she has never forgiven the super spicy curry bun for its transgressions.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Usagi Tsukino|Usagi Tsukino’s]] least favorite food are '''carrots'''.  Usagi in Japanese means bunny or rabbit and as such one might think this is the result of one too many jokes or puns being thrown her way.  That’d only be half-right.  The rest of the truth is that Usagi has a palate that's still a little like a child's and just doesn’t like the taste or the texture of carrots, going so far as to not request them in her curry dishes.  So you read it here first, the bunny on the moon just does not like carrots.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Utena Tenjou|Utena Tenjou's]] least favorite food is '''sausage'''.&lt;br /&gt;
* [[Nori Ankou|Nori Ankou's]] least favorite dish is '''very sweet things'''. This category does not include all desserts or sweet flavors, but candied fruits or similar treats were not a point of appeal for her. Some of this is that she does not have much of a sweet tooth - but most of it is that her mother, who was to Nori's understanding a lower-upper-class home-maker without strong responsibilities, thanks to the family business, was a dedicated SWEETS HUNTER. Nori would often be brought along to these places and associates sugar and dessert confections, to some extent, with the presence of a distant but controlling maternal figure. &lt;br /&gt;

		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Mesarthim: A farewell long delayed. &amp;quot;Yoritsuyoku.&amp;quot;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;I. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;We're back, I suppose,&amp;quot; said Nori Ankou, no longer wearing any masks, as she slouched in the salvaged chair. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batiste floated in his water. The indoor pond bubbled with the blind energy that the educated otter associated with the machines of Earth. It was the second best option - and the only one, of course, to be found here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;We lived,&amp;quot; Batiste agreed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori didn't move. Batiste kept speaking. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Those women, the Cloud Knights. What do you think about them?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I don't,&amp;quot; Nori said. &amp;quot;Not right now.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batiste raised his head and looked. He saw where Nori's head, her profile, and thus her eyes were turned. Not towards the ceiling, not towards him; towards the newspaper-covered settee table where he had been using tiny blades, carefully held, to carve out... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Ah,&amp;quot; he said. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
II. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The boat was carved from a single log of soft wood, which Nori had bought and given the preliminary shaping. It was not that she was not supposed to do such matters, she was assured - and indeed a small paw had to be placed to her hand to stop her from straining to learn yet another art. This was the tradition, in memory of the Asymmetric Queen. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori placed the old folded menu from 'boulangerie de shibuya.' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batiste placed a small teacup. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori placed a small photograph, faded faintly from having been pinned in a place where the sunlight fell on it for nearly two months, and the tears came from her eyes and the rite stopped for a good fifteen minutes before she calmed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batiste placed a gold ribbon that had decorated his neck once upon a time. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori had the last of it and placed a plain hankerchief, slightly stained with a few drops of what had been sweat and still carrying a nostalgiac scent, atop it all. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They placed the coins then, seven hundred-yen and seven ten-yen, forming a loop in the divot of the small ship. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Have you thought about what you will write on the sail?&amp;quot; Batiste asked softly. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
III. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The words rustled in the wet-scented air. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'My friend, Mami Tomoe. She was beautiful and courageous. I could not save her. Remember her, for me.' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The words had been written in the eccentric French that Nori knew, although it was la Sirene de Diamant that watched. She had to watch because her eyes were filling the triangle of paper that made the sail upon the funeral boat. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batiste and she had returned to the cavern where they had hidden during the Searrs incident, having found to their surprise that it was still undisturbed. Batiste had added one of the cracked and grilled marine snail shells to the boat. La Sirene, who sometimes dreamed of the taste of that simple food, had instead torn a diamond from her blouse and set it at the prow of the boat. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The words were growing harder to read, even though la Sirene knew that wearing this garb, she could see farther, sharper than she otherwise could. The rain had not come yet, but it would. Night was sneaking in around the edges. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;It will really get there?&amp;quot; she said, and she found her voice was smaller and huskier than she had thought. &amp;quot;It will come there, it will not be washed asunder? It is such a small thing, Batiste. I'm afraid it will pitch over in a wave, even now.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Keep watching it,&amp;quot; Batiste told her. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;You'll swim out if it is about to, right? I won't... I don't expect you to go deep, but...&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batiste did not take his eyes from the ship. He placed his paw on the knee of the Siren: &amp;quot;Have faith,&amp;quot; he said. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
La Sirene de Diamant, eventually, did. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
IV. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The boat had vanished from sight. The storm had come, although it was a gentle thing by storm standards; more of a rainy squall with a little thunder than a true roaring outrage. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was not sure who she was when she spoke aloud: &amp;quot;If I had been stronger; perhaps I could have saved her.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batiste breathed in and out once. These were the moments he had educated himself for. His reply was gentle; his gaze hadn't left the sea. &amp;quot;Why do you say that?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I could have stopped Akemi,&amp;quot; she said, wistful, soft. &amp;quot;Broken her guns. If I had been there with Mami, perhaps she would have prevailed.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;But then Shimanouchi would have died.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I would not have tried to slay her,&amp;quot; she said: &amp;quot;and you know it is a different thing when these are acts in the defense of others.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batiste was quiet; so was she. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;What do you think it would mean,&amp;quot; Batiste asked, &amp;quot;to be stronger?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was silent for nearly a minute. &amp;quot;I don't know,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;I want to protect my friends. I hurt when they hurt... but that is selfish, isn't it? I want to be loved... but they don't love you for your strength, do they? Not usually. I love Madoka, and she is strong in her heart, but she is not strong the way I mean, you know?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batiste squeeked assent; the clarity of strength in the sense of slaying Witches and Cardiax-worms, he knew, had its ups and its downs. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The night drew on. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Well?&amp;quot; she said, finally. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Well what?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Do you know? You aren't saying anything. I don't want to pet your back if you won't even say something sweet, so I will worry a little less,&amp;quot; she huffed. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Who is asking me?&amp;quot; Batiste said. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There was no answer; only a quick breath. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;May I guess your mind, cousin?&amp;quot; Batiste said. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;You may.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I asked you this question and you thought something like, me of course - but then, you are bathed in the light of Enigma. You've gathered tears for Les Mysteres now, and let me tell you that I had not thought you would do that... not that you had renounced it, but that you held no interest in it, and that you acted in other ways. You felt it, didn't you? You felt the shift and the change.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;What good is that?&amp;quot; la Sirene said, with bitterness. Then she said: &amp;quot;They have such rites and ways. Their brightly colored dreams, their vows together. Their devices from ancient places and distant manufacturies.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;They were there, also,&amp;quot; Batiste said. &amp;quot;They did not save Mami, either.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Silence returned, and stayed a while. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Batiste broke it this time. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;You have grown and you are still growing. Do not be too eager to be full-grown, cousin. The Asymmetric Queen reached her uttermost limits within hours of grasping the Magna of Illusion. She did not live out the year. Wear many masks and find what suits you. In time, you will become -&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Stronger?&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Better,&amp;quot; Batiste said. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Eventually, they returned to Shibuya. Home was still in the future. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;[[File:Lotuseaters.png|800px]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''&amp;quot;Sleep -- sleep as my Master sleeps, lie in an endless dream between life and death.  Dream peacefully.  Dream beautifully.  This is my final gift to you, children of a doomed world.&amp;quot;''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''''LAND OF THE LOTUS-EATERS is a special event on Battle Fantasia MUSH that will run through the second half of June.'''''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Magical girls have been absorbed, body, mind and spirit, into the fully unleashed Book of Darkness, who claims to be granting her Master's final wish by giving them all the gift of eternal peace: an endless, perfect dream, surrounded by their friends and loved ones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A fantasy where no one is missing -- no one is lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And everything is fine...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[2018-06-10_-_What_Lies_Beneath_18|What Lies Beneath 18]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Over the next two weeks, magical girls will explore their own, personal fantasy worlds, complete with idealized versions of their family and friends, enemies and allies -- and know temptation.  Eventually they will encounter one another, not as each other's fantasies, but as fellow prisoners, and must search for the truth at the heart of the lie.  And they will have to decide for themselves whether or not the ugly reality outside is really worth fighting for -- given who and what they'll have to leave behind.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, in the real world, the Book of Darkness is beginning to run rampant.  She threw a vastly powerful Barrier across Tokyo, shifting the initial violence caused by her simple presence over by one dimension, but it won't be strong enough to stop NachtWal from destroying the Earth.  In the meantime, those magical girls who weren't trapped in the Book must contend with a Tokyo fast transforming into an unfamiliar hellscape of grinding pillars of stone and howling pillars of magma.  And the Barrier is far from perfect -- millions may have become hundreds, but there are still ordinary people trapped in there with them, too... all too vulnerable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As magical girls escape from their dreams and into a waking nightmare, they will join their allies outside in doing what they can to protect what's left of Tokyo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==The Three Phases==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are there phases to the Land of the Lotus-Eaters plot:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Fantasy World&lt;br /&gt;
* The Shared Dream&lt;br /&gt;
* The Waking Nightmare&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Players who absolutely want to opt-out of having a character absorbed by the Book can proceed directly to the third phase, 'The Waking Nightmare', where they will be gradually joined by Book of Darkness escapees.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Everyone else wakes up inside The Fantasy World!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Fantasy World===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Anyone who wants their character to have been absorbed into the Book of Darkness (and this is highly, highly encouraged) is welcome to assume they were there on the margins of the magical girl army that witnessed her rebirth, and should read the contents of [[2018-06-10 - What Lies Beneath 18|What Lies Beneath 18]] and consider it IC knowledge.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Characters absorbed by the Book awaken in not only their own bed but the /ultimate/ bed, the bed that most feels like home, a bed that may have been lost forever or even one that has never existed.  They are safe and surrounded by the ones they love most, who are eager to comfort them from the nightmare they just experienced, and help them adjust back to 'reality', in a lovely, peaceful world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Constructing a character's fantasy world is an opportunity to: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Bring back dead characters, returning them to living, happy selves.&lt;br /&gt;
* Reimagine living characters through the lens of your character's fantasy; enemies could become allies, crushes could become romances, broken friendships mended, lost souls saved.&lt;br /&gt;
* Rewrite history wholesale, if things went off the rails years ago and your character might awaken in an extremely different life than the one they had.&lt;br /&gt;
* Ultimately, explore the ways in which the real world is better than the fantasy one.  If Fate Testarossa hadn't had a broken family, she never would have met Nanoha Takamachi.  In what ways have the trials of the real world made it worth saving?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is not an opportunity to: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Create a Candy Land where all the buildings are made out of choco parfait and takoyaki, NAGISA MISUMI. &amp;gt;:|&lt;br /&gt;
* In more seriousness, these dreams are powerful simulations driven by the characters' memories and desires, but they do fundamentally simulate the character's ideal /world/, as in a recognizable Earth, and furthermore, unless it is absolutely unworkable, their ideal Tokyo (for reasons that will become obvious).&lt;br /&gt;
* Unfortunately for those who were eager to get into trippy dream logic, it is NOT obviously a dream; the fantasy world has verisimilitude in terms of being a real place filled with real people, even if everything else feels impossible.  Impossibly wonderful, that is.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Players are encouraged to introduce their character's fantasy world through a cutscene of their characters first awakening and discovering that everything up until this point has 'all been a bad dream,' posted to the wiki with the following format: YYYY-MM-DD - LOTUS AWAKENING: Character Name.  (They can of course also put it on the MUSH bulletin boards if they like.)  These cutscenes, besides being an opportunity to really pull on the heartstrings, are useful worldbuilding that can be referenced by other players, because:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the first phase, any given scene can only exist in a single character's dream.  All other participants are invited and encouraged to discuss NPCing special, important characters featured prominently in the main character's fantasy (such as dead family members), but can, alternatively, play the fantasy version of their own character, as envisioned deep in the heart of the main character.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* For example: Fate Testarossa, Nanoha Takamachi and Vita want to have a Fantasy World scene.  They decide to let Fate be the main character.  Nanoha volunteers to NPC Alicia Testarossa, and Vita appears as a version of herself that Fate dreams of being friends with.  (Fate and Nanoha discuss OOCly who the fantasy Alicia Testarossa is, her role within the dream; Fate and Vita do the same about fantasy Vita.  Players are encouraged to be flexible about conforming to the fantasies of the main character, as roleplaying (admittedly often somewhat Stepford) alternative versions of themselves, as wished for by another character, is a pretty unique gameplay opportunity.  Fantasizing players are expected to keep it classy, as is always the case on Battle Fantasia.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Shared Dream===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many characters will be unable to break out of their fantasy without intervention by another.  The Shared Dream begins when Fate Testarossa confronts the truth that her dream is not and cannot be real, and that she wants to leave it behind -- and discovers the World Tree at the heart of her dream.  She can then use it to transport herself into someone else's dream, replacing her dream double.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once this happens (it will be flagged both via bbpost and on this wiki page), all of The Fantasy Worlds begin to merge into The Shared Dream.  During phase two, The Shared Dream, characters are now wandering through each others' fantasies, in a single, larger fantasy.  Given that most characters want to live blissfully in a Tokyo-like location, this is often seamless, but not always.  Still, the power of the Book of Darkness is very strong, and the Land of the Lotus-Eaters is very seductive; even as prisoners are able to meet one another and speculate as to what's going on, the Book tends to keep mortal enemies apart, unless reuniting with one another is a deeper level of their fantasy.  The Shared Dream is still a beautiful dream -- many beautiful dreams, fading into one another.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* For example: Fate Testarossa, Steven Universe and Saki Hyuuga want to have a scene in The Shared Dream.  Fate is already fully awake, and replaces her dream double; the world of this scene is is a blend of Steven and Saki's ideal worlds.  As this is a shared dream, Fate and Steven can encounter Saki's fantasy version of Michiru Kiryuu, or Fate and Saki can encounter Steven's fantasy version of Rose Quartz, or both...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is worth noting, however, that the 'idealized' PCs and NPCs within their fantasy are also aware that this is only a dream; they want to keep their main character safe and happy within the dream, but are also willing to grant them absolution to leave them behind and depart into the real world.  This is a rare opportunity for closure, though not required.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Players are strongly encouraged to allow others (whether 'awakened' PCs, or idealized but actively posed PCs and NPCs) to help them find the strength to leave the Land of the Lotus-Eaters, as it should not be easy or trivial to be willing to depart; the journey of accepting and embracing a more painful reality is far better undertaken as an interactive scene rather than as a cutscene alone.  However, for those who prefer it, cutscenes are also welcome.  In either case, logs/cutscenes involving this turning point in any character's arc should be named under the following scheme: YYYY-MM-DD - LOTUS INCEPTION: Character Name(s)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Once fully awakened and accepting of reality, characters can stay in The Shared Dream to help free their friends, or escape the Book of Darkness via the World Tree, which exists at the heart of all of their dreams, and will return them to the shattered deadwood corpse of the real Tree in Tokyo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This begins the third phase: The Waking Nightmare.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The Waking Nightmare===&lt;br /&gt;
[[History: Modern Times#The Book of Darkness|A generation ago, the magical girls of Earth were decimated trying to contain and defeat the Book of Darkness]]; it was the most significant magical event of the new millennium, until the Long Dark Night in 2013.  It is widely understood IC knowledge that Signum, Vita, Shamal and Zafira, aka the Wolkenritter, aka the Cloud Knights, have been ambushing magical girls and draining their magic into the Book of Darkness in order to fill all of its pages -- at which point the Book of Darkness will basically go supernova in a world-ending-threat-level event.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Apparently the first stage of 'supernova' was the Book transforming into a scary woman who calls herself the Tome of the Night Sky.  The first thing she did was suck every magical girl she could sense into the Book of Darkness' Fantasy World.  The second thing she did was spread a Barrier across Tokyo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A 'Barrier', in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha terms, is a particular class of magical spell: a wide-area field that shifts everything within that field about half a dimension to the left, metaphysically metaphorically speaking.  The chief effect that it has is to remove all noncombatants and other non-magical people from the area it encompasses, which allows magical combat to continue with only minimal risk of collateral damage.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Book of Darkness' barrier won't protect the world from ending when the automated defense program within her being known as NachtWal goes berserk, since that blast is far greater than her barrier can contain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And, because Tokyo is so huge and there are so many people in it, neither is it totally successful at keeping all the noncombatants out.  A small handful of noncombatants, usually either already-magical people or people closely connected to magical people, such as friends and family, have found themselves drawn inside... and Tokyo, on the other side of the barrier, is an ugly place.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
('''''This is strictly optional.''''' There are a handful of people stranded in Battlefield Tokyo for exactly two reasons, narratively: first, to have people to rescue on general principles, and second, for characters who want to be OUTTED to a normal friend or family member to have a dramatic opportunity to do so, in rescuing them (Recognition Inhibition is still 'on', but this is a good reason for it to fail if someone wants it to fail in order to tell their story).  If you've wanted your parents to find out what you do, or want your long-misled best friend in on the secret, this is a good time for that!)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Waking Nightmare is yellow-and-black-skied, with a great deal of purple lightning.  It is filled with eerily empty streets and skyscrapers, punctuated here and there with jagged stone spires and immense geysers of magma, created by the seismic instabilities already beginning to engulf the world as the Book of Darkness' power unfolds.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* The Book of Darkness herself, if engaged, will immediately suck combatants into the Fantasy World, which is another way of saying DON'T.  &lt;br /&gt;
* Fleeing from her, finding allies, protecting civilians and lamenting the state of things is more the order of the day. &lt;br /&gt;
* There is also some pathos to be had wandering through the creepily empty, shattered cityscape.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When everyone has escaped the Shared Dream and regrouped to confront the Book of Darkness, we will be at the true finale of What Lies Beneath.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Frequently Asked Questions==&lt;br /&gt;
Q: I wasn't at What Lies Beneath 17-18, can I still have been sucked into the Book of Darkness?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A: Yes!  It is safe to assume your character was on the margins of those events; the Book of Darkness cast a very wide net when she absorbed everyone in.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Q: What's the approximate OOC timeline here?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A: Since there's a lot of pathos to go around, we expect to spend around a week in The Fantasy World and a week in The Shared Dream, with maybe each of those being a bit less than a week to make some space for The Waking Nightmare (though it is the least important of the three for participants of the entire plot, since its experience will in most senses be covered by the plot's actual finale).  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A2: Individuals can go at their own pace, if they want to spend more time in The Fantasy World after Fate's escape initiates The Shared Dream.  Time is all very relative right now, anyway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Q: I need someone to NPC my dead parents!  What should I do?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A: Ask!  The staff will be on hand to provide NPC support, but the playerbase is also very strongly encouraged to volunteer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Fantasy Worlds==&lt;br /&gt;
Please add yourself and a one-sentence description of the core concept of your character's dream world to the list.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''[[Fate Testarossa]]''' is living happily with her mother, sister, and teacher.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''[[Niramo Umokeshi]]''' has a family who is always there for her, and is the leader of the magical protectors of Earth.&lt;br /&gt;
* '''[[Nori Ankou]]''' is in a storm-wracked and gothic Tokyo, where everyone is gorgeous, especially the precious ones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Logs==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Please include 'LOTUS' in the title of all of your logs and cutscenes, and they'll automatically appear here.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;==Current Cast==&lt;br /&gt;
'''[[Nori Ankou]], La Sirene de Diamant'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A girl with a naturally dark style who has found joy and fulfillment as a fashion model as well as a soldier of justice. However, the pain of beauty and the suffering of a chevalier's path bring tears to her eyes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''[[Mizuki Aleksandrova]], La Sirene de l'Est'''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
A quiet student of the Infinity Institute who silently blames herself for her parents' terrible breakup. Distracts herself from the sadness with pursuits like archery, swimming, and musical composition. She can't decide to what extent she wants to embrace her Siren alter-ego, and hasn't got much experience to draw on yet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Theme Summary==&lt;br /&gt;
Joy and happiness have their realms - so too does sorrow, a far-away Sea of Tears where great rocky shores weather eternally the endless storms that surround them, where strange creatures and stranger peoples live and love, in their way. This land is ruled by a queen - a descendant of the Mother of Sorrows, the patroness of this realm since time immemorial! And soon a new one will be chosen from among the Sirens - young women from this ancient bloodline called back to their haunting, ancestral home and given gifts by the Mother; sent out to &amp;quot;gather the sorrows of the world&amp;quot;... in whatever form they choose, and under their benefactor's mysterious eye. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Sea of Tears is an alternate magical world. It is said, and may be literally true, that every shed tear finds its way to the Sea, which would explain why it is full of saltwater. The Sea is an inhospitable place to most life from Earth, but home to the Mother of Sorrow's many descendants. (She has taken lovers but never wed, and, of course, her descendants have themselves begun families.) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Those descendants are found throughout the world, a recurring thread in the tapestry of humanity. Touched as they are by sorrow, many have trouble living in the mortal world, but the Mother of Sorrows has granted them a boon: any of her descendants who should sail or swim into the water, with tears in their eyes and no thought for their paths, may find a way to the Sea of Tears, where houses have been prepared for them. These houses are not luxurious (save for those held by the queens); simple but comfortable furnishings, decorated by flotsam and jetsam. There is enough to eat, and peace, and others when you want them. It is a mercy and a blessing to many who come here. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Society, such as it is, is ruled by common agreement: luxury and ostentation rests upon the Queen, who is a lifetime appointment. (Little do at least one of the Sirens suspect that this role is more of a town mayor than a position of dominance and authority, but then, that is perhaps what they must learn.) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Mother of Sorrows is herself an enigmatic figure, but not a wicked one. She appears typically as a mature but not elderly woman, and at times walks abroad in other worlds. Sorrow is inevitable, even in the most happy of places, and its full expression - from its creation, to its experience, to its resolution - is her business. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Theme Essentials==&lt;br /&gt;
'''Theme Organizational Connections''': Sirens walk their own paths, with no pre-destined affiliation other than to the Sea itself. The Mother of Sorrows has no stated opinion on the conflicts of Earth, and does not interfere with the paths Sirens forge for themselves, save to collect the beaten and the broken to herself.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;Gathering the sorrows of the world&amp;quot; is an unclear matter. Some Sirens address it by standing by and gathering pain as a witness or a watcher, others try to heal hurts, still others try to bring more pain to the world. The Mother of Sorrows does not seem to remark on which path is better or worse. Historically, all of these broad routes have led Sirens to the queendom. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Example Theme Paths to Power''': &amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
''Artifact (the Black Mirrors)''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The proof of one's role as a Siren. The Black Mirrors are formed from obsidian gathered from the shallow seas in the drowned tomb-city of Luxor in the Sea of Tears. They are usually highly decorated, if in a dark or flashy way. Through these mirrors, the Sea of Tears can let the descendants of the Mother of Sorrow shed the bonds of mortality and become truly fantastic. Individual Mirrors often have other tricks, such as serving as a physical portal to the Sea of Tears or reflecting images in one's heart. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''Legacy (descent, however distant, from the Mother of Sorrows)''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Mother of Sorrows' human children all come (at a great remove) from the wedding of the Mother's one daughter, Melancholy, to a mortal man. This ineffable ancestry earns one the right to dwell in the Sea of Tears (if you can find the way). Some young women, of course, follow in the footsteps of Thalatte, the first of the Sirens. This touch of alien divinity wends throughout all of humanity, although it is most likely to be found in coastal societies. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''Contract (agreement, however informal, to gather sorrow)''&amp;lt;br/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Mother of Sorrows does not give many orders or instructions, but she is not distant or unpleasant to speak with. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If a brief explanation of their potential true place in the world is understood and accepted with their whole heart, one of these descendants is granted a Black Mirror and a vague instruction to gather sorrow, with the potential to one day be Queen. The method, the ramifications, and almost everything else are left up to the Siren to determine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Quick and Dirty Rules:'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Sirens could be antagonistic as easily as they could be heroic, with only other Sirens and magical girls to serve as a moral compass.&lt;br /&gt;
* A Siren's purpose is vague, and the Mother of Sorrows does this deliberately. Should they feel compelled to step in and protect innocent people, or should they just hoover up tears and stay in the shadows? Or bring sorrow to the world themselves?&lt;br /&gt;
* Five exiled sons of the Mother of Sorrows represent the main antagonistic force of the Sirens. These exiles have access to the Cardiax worms, which can infest humans and dam up their natural sorrows, producing strange effects and shadowy echoes and, eventually, killing their hosts. &lt;br /&gt;
* Sirens may have mascot allies - intelligent talking animals, usually of coastal temperate species. (Otters, gulls, stranger things...) These friends are of other lines of descent from the Mother of Sorrows, and tend to be well educated as well as suited to providing emotional support. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Profile==&lt;br /&gt;
Nori Ankou is a simple Ohtori from a wealthy family in Sapporo... on the surface, anyway, the same surface that shows a girl who's shed some of the classical ojou mannerisms in favor of dark hair, dark eyes and dark clothing. And adding to that darkness is her secret role as La Sirene du Nord, aspirant to the queendom of the Sea of Tears, a mystical realm of sorrow and dark beauty! (Even her magic lantern, the Brazen Pharos, seems to radiate darkness, not light.) Nori is a surprisingly vulnerable and caring young woman underneath the gothick demeanor, and la Sirene du Nord has changed too, from an ominous figure to a spectral protector of this flawed, wounded and beautiful world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Current Status==&lt;br /&gt;
Nori's main pursuit in life at the moment is not the educational studies that befit a school-lady of her age. That would be the obvious thing, even at Ohtori, but instead she has, despite her young age, become one of the leading lights of a rising fashion house, representing &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:darkred&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Akai Mirai&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; - the darker, glamorous, night-time side of the AoAka label. &amp;lt;span style=&amp;quot;color:darkred&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Akai Mirai&amp;lt;/span&amp;gt; can be anything and everything except blue. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori has also developed as a person. While standing in defense of [[Tsuru]], the creator of AoAka, a cruel stroke from [[Shizuru Fujino]], la Sirene du Nord perished, in a way: the cold winter winds of the north dying like a dream denied. And yet, whether through the strength of a secret promise or the enigmatic truth that &amp;quot;We Only Live To Be Born Again,&amp;quot; someone new rose from the dry husk of du Nord: la Sirene de Diamant, glittering and splendid. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other than her fashion career and desultory efforts towards schoolwork, Nori is still pursuing a case involving mysterious black corals from the Sea of Tears. By &amp;quot;Nori,&amp;quot; we mean &amp;quot;Batiste,&amp;quot; the long-suffering mustelid regularly attempting to contact IFREMER in France for advice... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
Nori Ankou was a child with problems. No, they were not problems of misbehavior or foolishness; she was insightful and intelligent, an early reader and a thoughtful person. Her problem was much simpler: She had regular and frequent storms of a crippling, intractable depression. Even in an ideal situation this might have been less than positive. As it was, she was largely subject to displeasure from her parents, who had hoped for something more outgoing in a daughter... someone who could live up to the family's habits of being outgoing, go-getters, even a little ruthless at times. This disapproval didn't come with beatings, it just was an atmosphere of cold isolation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori learned to fake it. It was an amazing power. Her parents, evidently relieved at the sudden brashness and outgoing nature of their child, didn't question too much that she still spent lots of time alone, by herself. (&amp;quot;I need to think!&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I'm tired of seeing other people!&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Other people are dumb, gosh!!&amp;quot;) After all, at school, when she wasn't having a fit, she was fine. It was a relief to those parents, especially when they had a second child on their way - a son, too! Nori did not really like faking it, but it did, initially at least, seem to work. She did feel better... somewhat better... sometimes... However, after years of doing this, she began to despise herself for her false face, while not being able to put it down for long. When her parents informed her that, in light of both her academic irregularity and her penchant for periodically kicking her peers in their pouty pastry-holes, she would be going to a boarding school for her middle school years, she broke down in tears. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That, too, wasn't unusual. They let her run off to the dockside boathouse near the ocean on their seaside estate where she hid. They did not expect that this time, she would take a rowboat - and begin travelling out, as far as she could, tears in her eyes. A storm rose. The boat hit a far shore. As rain pelted down on her, she looked up at a gray eminence: someone who had come and waited, holding a lantern. The woman kissed her brow, bore her up the craggy path to a sheltered lighthouse, and fed her a meal of fish. She introduced herself as the Mother of Sorrows, and told Nori that she was in a home that had been prepared for her long ago. She could stay - forever, if she wished - and would learn many mysteries, and things she had not known she missed. She was a child of the Mother, at whatever remove, and she was not the first to come, nor would she be the last. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori ate her supper, and then said, But I have to go back; I'm to attend school soon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do you mean that? the Mother asked her. You do not have to. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori was silent for a long time. The Mother waited; she poured tea, served a small cake for dessert. Nori answered, finally: I don't know. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Mother smiled, and congratulated her for her honesty. Come back tomorrow, she said: Take the same boat. Come after breakfast, and stay the day. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori left; came back the next day; and here the two of them spoke at length. Nori's ears burned to hear the strange woman praise her for her strength and the force of her will. But I'm awful, Nori said. I decided to lie to everyone so that Mother and Father would not be sad. What's strong about that? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because, the Mother said, you did not lie. You performed, and you have kept the knowledge of yourself. Such strong will is worthy of a Queen. Return to me on this day, next year, and we will speak again. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori went to Ohtori then, and forgot about that entire conversation. She nearly forgot - if she hadn't looked in her old journal, she would have thought it was a dream. But on that day, a clear and blue day, she snuck away from her parents as they cossetted her infant brother, and sailed out of sight of land. Had it been a dream? She thought so, but when she turned around, she found the Mother sitting there. The Mother told her something of the history of the Sea of Tears, and how in time the sorrows of the world came there; how her children had filled the Earth, mingling with the races of mortal man, but how in time they would feel weighed upon by the passage of time. Those who could return to the Sea found themselves growing into strange and wonderful new powers and potencies... but most, in the end, did not. The Mother taught Nori a charm then, and told her to use it, not from here, but at Ohtori, in thirteen months, no more and more less. That charm was to sail away from land, however accomplished, steering without sight and with tears in her eyes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But... Nori thought Ohtori was great fun. Her feelings were lighter, though she still had dark and gloomy spells. She remembered what day it was when the news spoke of storms at sea and storms on land. She slipped off the school grounds, desperately taking a paddleboat; steering it away, trying to make headway against the surging waves. Futility and black depression lay upon her - and then she awoke in that familiar lighthouse, tucked into a warm if spartan bed. The Mother was there, and she was told then of her real purpose. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She could stay if she wished, as many others had, but she held the strength and the will to pursue the course needed. Become a Siren, the Mother said; gather the sorrows of the world and bring them here. In time, you will grow, and should you grow enough, you shall be Queen, as she who rules now under my watch grows old and weary of the task. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori accepted. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was then told, of course, that she was not alone, but...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Relationships==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;'''THE BELOVED'''&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Tsuru]] - Tsuru has made promises and told Nori secret things, and in some ways is thus the most precious person in the whole wide world to her. (There are, of course, other worlds, but we leave that aside for now.) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Madoka Kaname|Madoka]] - Sweet, kind and brave, Madoka may lack some of the advantages that Nori knows that she has had, but the strength of her heart is something that awes and shames Nori when she considers it. One of her fondest memories is watching pilot whales in the early-March cold - the happiest birthday she's ever had. (So far.) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Sayaka Miki|Sayaka]] - Sayaka would have been a step below if she did not have the singular misfortune of being someone who Nori bled to defend. Nori was already charmed by her bravery and the simple sincerity of Sayaka's passion, which struck a resonant chord in the blackwood resonant chamber that is her heart. But now Sayaka nearly died. Nori may cool down a little eventually. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;'''THE BEFRIENDED'''&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Garnet]] - This towering woman is stern, silent, brave and strong. Nori likes her, even if they haven't really spoken much. But at least Nori feels that these things aren't unusual, when it comes to Garnet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;'''THOSE FOR WHOM NEUTRALITY BURNS'''&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Fuu Hououji]] - The Magic Knight and her alter ego are a curious study in contrasts. On the one hand Nori has appreciated her aid in many forms, and on the other hand she did not much enjoy her expedition into the realm of Cephiro to aid Fuu. Their personalities are also not really compatible, or incompatible. And so, Nori knows that when it comes to the question - is Fuu a precious person to you? - her heart says... Maybe. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;'''THE DISLIKED'''&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Eri Shimanouchi|Eri]] - Eri Shimanouchi is not someone Nori has ever really gotten along with, although there was a period where she was gentler, more sincere. She would hate her more for what she does were it not for the tragic fact that... Well: While Nori cannot concur with Eri's actions, she can comprehend not wanting to die. It may not be good, but it isn't evil, either. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;'''THE UNLOVED'''&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Kozue Kaoru|KOZUE]] - She thought that Kozue was a dear friend, perhaps her best friend. Now she knows otherwise. How could she have not seen it? There's a bleeding hole in her heart now. Maybe that has its advantages, but... &lt;br /&gt;

The Mother smiled, and congratulated her for her honesty. Come back tomorrow, she said: Take the same boat. Come after breakfast, and stay the day. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori left; came back the next day; and here the two of them spoke at length. Nori's ears burned to hear the strange woman praise her for her strength and the force of her will. But I'm awful, Nori said. I decided to lie to everyone so that Mother and Father would not be sad. What's strong about that? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because, the Mother said, you did not lie. You performed, and you have kept the knowledge of yourself. Such strong will is worthy of a Queen. Return to me on this day, next year, and we will speak again. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori went to Ohtori then, and forgot about that entire conversation. She nearly forgot - if she hadn't looked in her old journal, she would have thought it was a dream. But on that day, a clear and blue day, she snuck away from her parents as they cossetted her infant brother, and sailed out of sight of land. Had it been a dream? She thought so, but when she turned around, she found the Mother sitting there. The Mother told her something of the history of the Sea of Tears, and how in time the sorrows of the world came there; how her children had filled the Earth, mingling with the races of mortal man, but how in time they would feel weighed upon by the passage of time. Those who could return to the Sea found themselves growing into strange and wonderful new powers and potencies... but most, in the end, did not. The Mother taught Nori a charm then, and told her to use it, not from here, but at Ohtori, in thirteen months, no more and more less. That charm was to sail away from land, however accomplished, steering without sight and with tears in her eyes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But... Nori thought Ohtori was great fun. Her feelings were lighter, though she still had dark and gloomy spells. She remembered what day it was when the news spoke of storms at sea and storms on land. She slipped off the school grounds, desperately taking a paddleboat; steering it away, trying to make headway against the surging waves. Futility and black depression lay upon her - and then she awoke in that familiar lighthouse, tucked into a warm if spartan bed. The Mother was there, and she was told then of her real purpose. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She could stay if she wished, as many others had, but she held the strength and the will to pursue the course needed. Become a Siren, the Mother said; gather the sorrows of the world and bring them here. In time, you will grow, and should you grow enough, you shall be Queen, as she who rules now under my watch grows old and weary of the task. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori accepted. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was then told, of course, that she was not alone, but...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Relationships==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;'''THE BELOVED'''&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Tsuru]] - Tsuru has made promises and told Nori secret things, and in some ways is thus the most precious person in the whole wide world to her. (There are, of course, other worlds, but we leave that aside for now.) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Madoka Kaname|Madoka]] - Sweet, kind and brave, Madoka may lack some of the advantages that Nori knows that she has had, but the strength of her heart is something that awes and shames Nori when she considers it. One of her fondest memories is watching pilot whales in the early-March cold - the happiest birthday she's ever had. (So far.) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;'''THE BEFRIENDED'''&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Minor approval!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;'''THOSE FOR WHOM NEUTRALITY BURNS'''&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neutral disapproval!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;'''THE DISLIKED'''&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Minor disapproval!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;'''THE UNLOVED'''&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Kozue Kaoru|KOZUE]] - She thought that Kozue was a dear friend, perhaps her best friend. Now she knows otherwise. How could she have not seen it? There's a bleeding hole in her heart now. Maybe that has its advantages, but... &lt;br /&gt;

Michiru Kaioh is a rising talent in the world of music and art. With elegance and grace beyond her youthful years, she is enrolled in the Infinity Institute and is a model student despite her recitals and her work. She is intelligent, polite, and warm - the closest thing to a criticism one might levy is her close friendship with is the racy figure of Haruka Tenoh. But the truth is that she is Sailor Neptune, an enigmatic and confident figure who struggles for the greater good... even when that comes with a cold and crushing price.&lt;br /&gt;

__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Profile==&lt;br /&gt;
Nori Ankou is a simple Ohtori from a wealthy family in Sapporo... on the surface, anyway, the same surface that shows a girl who's shed some of the classical ojou mannerisms in favor of dark hair, dark eyes and dark clothing. And adding to that darkness is her secret role as La Sirene du Nord, aspirant to the queendom of the Sea of Tears, a mystical realm of sorrow and dark beauty! (Even her magic lantern, the Brazen Pharos, seems to radiate darkness, not light.) Nori is a surprisingly vulnerable and caring young woman underneath the gothick demeanor, and la Sirene du Nord has changed too, from an ominous figure to a spectral protector of this flawed, wounded and beautiful world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Current Status==&lt;br /&gt;
Current Status Body Here&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
Nori Ankou was a child with problems. No, they were not problems of misbehavior or foolishness; she was insightful and intelligent, an early reader and a thoughtful person. Her problem was much simpler: She had regular and frequent storms of a crippling, intractable depression. Even in an ideal situation this might have been less than positive. As it was, she was largely subject to displeasure from her parents, who had hoped for something more outgoing in a daughter... someone who could live up to the family's habits of being outgoing, go-getters, even a little ruthless at times. This disapproval didn't come with beatings, it just was an atmosphere of cold isolation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori learned to fake it. It was an amazing power. Her parents, evidently relieved at the sudden brashness and outgoing nature of their child, didn't question too much that she still spent lots of time alone, by herself. (&amp;quot;I need to think!&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I'm tired of seeing other people!&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Other people are dumb, gosh!!&amp;quot;) After all, at school, when she wasn't having a fit, she was fine. It was a relief to those parents, especially when they had a second child on their way - a son, too! Nori did not really like faking it, but it did, initially at least, seem to work. She did feel better... somewhat better... sometimes... However, after years of doing this, she began to despise herself for her false face, while not being able to put it down for long. When her parents informed her that, in light of both her academic irregularity and her penchant for periodically kicking her peers in their pouty pastry-holes, she would be going to a boarding school for her middle school years, she broke down in tears. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That, too, wasn't unusual. They let her run off to the dockside boathouse near the ocean on their seaside estate where she hid. They did not expect that this time, she would take a rowboat - and begin travelling out, as far as she could, tears in her eyes. A storm rose. The boat hit a far shore. As rain pelted down on her, she looked up at a gray eminence: someone who had come and waited, holding a lantern. The woman kissed her brow, bore her up the craggy path to a sheltered lighthouse, and fed her a meal of fish. She introduced herself as the Mother of Sorrows, and told Nori that she was in a home that had been prepared for her long ago. She could stay - forever, if she wished - and would learn many mysteries, and things she had not known she missed. She was a child of the Mother, at whatever remove, and she was not the first to come, nor would she be the last. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori ate her supper, and then said, But I have to go back; I'm to attend school soon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do you mean that? the Mother asked her. You do not have to. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori was silent for a long time. The Mother waited; she poured tea, served a small cake for dessert. Nori answered, finally: I don't know. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Mother smiled, and congratulated her for her honesty. Come back tomorrow, she said: Take the same boat. Come after breakfast, and stay the day. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori left; came back the next day; and here the two of them spoke at length. Nori's ears burned to hear the strange woman praise her for her strength and the force of her will. But I'm awful, Nori said. I decided to lie to everyone so that Mother and Father would not be sad. What's strong about that? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because, the Mother said, you did not lie. You performed, and you have kept the knowledge of yourself. Such strong will is worthy of a Queen. Return to me on this day, next year, and we will speak again. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori went to Ohtori then, and forgot about that entire conversation. She nearly forgot - if she hadn't looked in her old journal, she would have thought it was a dream. But on that day, a clear and blue day, she snuck away from her parents as they cossetted her infant brother, and sailed out of sight of land. Had it been a dream? She thought so, but when she turned around, she found the Mother sitting there. The Mother told her something of the history of the Sea of Tears, and how in time the sorrows of the world came there; how her children had filled the Earth, mingling with the races of mortal man, but how in time they would feel weighed upon by the passage of time. Those who could return to the Sea found themselves growing into strange and wonderful new powers and potencies... but most, in the end, did not. The Mother taught Nori a charm then, and told her to use it, not from here, but at Ohtori, in thirteen months, no more and more less. That charm was to sail away from land, however accomplished, steering without sight and with tears in her eyes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But... Nori thought Ohtori was great fun. Her feelings were lighter, though she still had dark and gloomy spells. She remembered what day it was when the news spoke of storms at sea and storms on land. She slipped off the school grounds, desperately taking a paddleboat; steering it away, trying to make headway against the surging waves. Futility and black depression lay upon her - and then she awoke in that familiar lighthouse, tucked into a warm if spartan bed. The Mother was there, and she was told then of her real purpose. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She could stay if she wished, as many others had, but she held the strength and the will to pursue the course needed. Become a Siren, the Mother said; gather the sorrows of the world and bring them here. In time, you will grow, and should you grow enough, you shall be Queen, as she who rules now under my watch grows old and weary of the task. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori accepted. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was then told, of course, that she was not alone, but...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Relationships==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;'''+2 FRIENDLY POINTS'''&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Tsuru]] - Tsuru has made promises and told Nori secret things, and in some ways is thus the most precious person in the whole wide world to her. (There are, of course, other worlds, but we leave that aside for now.) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Madoka Kaname|Madoka]] - Sweet, kind and brave, Madoka may lack some of the advantages that Nori knows that she has had, but the strength of her heart is something that awes and shames Nori when she considers it. One of her fondest memories is watching pilot whales in the early-March cold - the happiest birthday she's ever had. (So far.) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;'''+1 FRIENDLY POINTS'''&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Minor approval!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;'''0 FRIENDLY POINTS'''&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neutral disapproval!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;'''-1 FRIENDLY POINTS'''&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Minor disapproval!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;big&amp;gt;'''-2 FRIENDLY POINTS'''&amp;lt;/big&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Kozue Kaoru|KOZUE]] - She thought that Kozue was a dear friend, perhaps her best friend. Now she knows otherwise. How could she have not seen it? There's a bleeding hole in her heart now. Maybe that has its advantages, but... &lt;br /&gt;

Michiru Kaioh is a rising talent in the world of music and art. With elegance and grace beyond her youthful years, she is enrolled in the Infinity Institute and is a model student despite her recitals and her work. She is intelligent, polite, and warm - the closest thing to a criticism one might levy is her close friendship with is the racy figure of Haruka Tenoh. But the truth is that she is Sailor Neptune, an enigmatic and confident figure who struggles for the greater good... even when that comes with a cold and crushing price.&lt;br /&gt;

Michiru Kaioh is a rising talent in the world of music and art. With elegance and grace beyond her youthful years, she is enrolled in the Infinity Institute and is a model student despite her recitals and her work. She is intelligent, polite, and warm - the closest thing to a criticism one might levy is her close friendship with is the racy figure of Haruka Tenoh. But the truth is that she is Sailor Neptune, an enigmatic and confident figure who struggles for the greater good... even when that comes with a cold and crushing price.&lt;br /&gt;

Michiru Kaioh is a rising talent in the world of music and art. With elegance and grace beyond her youthful years, she is enrolled in the Infinity Institute and is a model student despite her recitals and her work. She is intelligent, polite, and warm - the closest thing to a criticism one might levy is her close friendship with is the racy figure of Haruka Tenoh. But the truth is that she is Sailor Neptune, an enigmatic and confident figure who struggles for the greater good... even when that comes with a cold and crushing price.&lt;br /&gt;

__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Profile==&lt;br /&gt;
Nori Ankou is a simple Ohtori from a wealthy family in Sapporo... on the surface, anyway, the same surface that shows a girl who's shed some of the classical ojou mannerisms in favor of dark hair, dark eyes and dark clothing. And adding to that darkness is her secret role as La Sirene du Nord, aspirant to the queendom of the Sea of Tears, a mystical realm of sorrow and dark beauty! (Even her magic lantern, the Brazen Pharos, seems to radiate darkness, not light.) Nori is a surprisingly vulnerable and caring young woman underneath the gothick demeanor, and la Sirene du Nord has changed too, from an ominous figure to a spectral protector of this flawed, wounded and beautiful world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Current Status==&lt;br /&gt;
Current Status Body Here&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
Nori Ankou was a child with problems. No, they were not problems of misbehavior or foolishness; she was insightful and intelligent, an early reader and a thoughtful person. Her problem was much simpler: She had regular and frequent storms of a crippling, intractable depression. Even in an ideal situation this might have been less than positive. As it was, she was largely subject to displeasure from her parents, who had hoped for something more outgoing in a daughter... someone who could live up to the family's habits of being outgoing, go-getters, even a little ruthless at times. This disapproval didn't come with beatings, it just was an atmosphere of cold isolation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori learned to fake it. It was an amazing power. Her parents, evidently relieved at the sudden brashness and outgoing nature of their child, didn't question too much that she still spent lots of time alone, by herself. (&amp;quot;I need to think!&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I'm tired of seeing other people!&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Other people are dumb, gosh!!&amp;quot;) After all, at school, when she wasn't having a fit, she was fine. It was a relief to those parents, especially when they had a second child on their way - a son, too! Nori did not really like faking it, but it did, initially at least, seem to work. She did feel better... somewhat better... sometimes... However, after years of doing this, she began to despise herself for her false face, while not being able to put it down for long. When her parents informed her that, in light of both her academic irregularity and her penchant for periodically kicking her peers in their pouty pastry-holes, she would be going to a boarding school for her middle school years, she broke down in tears. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That, too, wasn't unusual. They let her run off to the dockside boathouse near the ocean on their seaside estate where she hid. They did not expect that this time, she would take a rowboat - and begin travelling out, as far as she could, tears in her eyes. A storm rose. The boat hit a far shore. As rain pelted down on her, she looked up at a gray eminence: someone who had come and waited, holding a lantern. The woman kissed her brow, bore her up the craggy path to a sheltered lighthouse, and fed her a meal of fish. She introduced herself as the Mother of Sorrows, and told Nori that she was in a home that had been prepared for her long ago. She could stay - forever, if she wished - and would learn many mysteries, and things she had not known she missed. She was a child of the Mother, at whatever remove, and she was not the first to come, nor would she be the last. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori ate her supper, and then said, But I have to go back; I'm to attend school soon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do you mean that? the Mother asked her. You do not have to. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori was silent for a long time. The Mother waited; she poured tea, served a small cake for dessert. Nori answered, finally: I don't know. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Mother smiled, and congratulated her for her honesty. Come back tomorrow, she said: Take the same boat. Come after breakfast, and stay the day. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori left; came back the next day; and here the two of them spoke at length. Nori's ears burned to hear the strange woman praise her for her strength and the force of her will. But I'm awful, Nori said. I decided to lie to everyone so that Mother and Father would not be sad. What's strong about that? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because, the Mother said, you did not lie. You performed, and you have kept the knowledge of yourself. Such strong will is worthy of a Queen. Return to me on this day, next year, and we will speak again. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori went to Ohtori then, and forgot about that entire conversation. She nearly forgot - if she hadn't looked in her old journal, she would have thought it was a dream. But on that day, a clear and blue day, she snuck away from her parents as they cossetted her infant brother, and sailed out of sight of land. Had it been a dream? She thought so, but when she turned around, she found the Mother sitting there. The Mother told her something of the history of the Sea of Tears, and how in time the sorrows of the world came there; how her children had filled the Earth, mingling with the races of mortal man, but how in time they would feel weighed upon by the passage of time. Those who could return to the Sea found themselves growing into strange and wonderful new powers and potencies... but most, in the end, did not. The Mother taught Nori a charm then, and told her to use it, not from here, but at Ohtori, in thirteen months, no more and more less. That charm was to sail away from land, however accomplished, steering without sight and with tears in her eyes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But... Nori thought Ohtori was great fun. Her feelings were lighter, though she still had dark and gloomy spells. She remembered what day it was when the news spoke of storms at sea and storms on land. She slipped off the school grounds, desperately taking a paddleboat; steering it away, trying to make headway against the surging waves. Futility and black depression lay upon her - and then she awoke in that familiar lighthouse, tucked into a warm if spartan bed. The Mother was there, and she was told then of her real purpose. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She could stay if she wished, as many others had, but she held the strength and the will to pursue the course needed. Become a Siren, the Mother said; gather the sorrows of the world and bring them here. In time, you will grow, and should you grow enough, you shall be Queen, as she who rules now under my watch grows old and weary of the task. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori accepted. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was then told, of course, that she was not alone, but...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

__TOC__&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Profile==&lt;br /&gt;
Nori Ankou is a simple Ohtori from a wealthy family in Sapporo... on the surface, anyway, the same surface that shows a girl who's shed some of the classical ojou mannerisms in favor of dark hair, dark eyes and dark clothing. And adding to that darkness is her secret role as La Sirene du Nord, aspirant to the queendom of the Sea of Tears, a mystical realm of sorrow and dark beauty! (Even her magic lantern, the Brazen Pharos, seems to radiate darkness, not light.) Nori is a surprisingly vulnerable and caring young woman underneath the gothick demeanor, and la Sirene du Nord has changed too, from an ominous figure to a spectral protector of this flawed, wounded and beautiful world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Current Status==&lt;br /&gt;
Current Status Body Here&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
Nori Ankou was a child with problems. No, they were not problems of misbehavior or foolishness; she was insightful and intelligent, an early reader and a thoughtful person. Her problem was much simpler: She had regular and frequent storms of a crippling, intractable depression. Even in an ideal situation this might have been less than positive. As it was, she was largely subject to displeasure from her parents, who had hoped for something more outgoing in a daughter... someone who could live up to the family's habits of being outgoing, go-getters, even a little ruthless at times. This disapproval didn't come with beatings, it just was an atmosphere of cold isolation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori learned to fake it. It was an amazing power. Her parents, evidently relieved at the sudden brashness and outgoing nature of their child, didn't question too much that she still spent lots of time alone, by herself. (&amp;quot;I need to think!&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I'm tired of seeing other people!&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Other people are dumb, gosh!!&amp;quot;) After all, at school, when she wasn't having a fit, she was fine. It was a relief to those parents, especially when they had a second child on their way - a son, too! Nori did not really like faking it, but it did, initially at least, seem to work. She did feel better... somewhat better... sometimes... However, after years of doing this, she began to despise herself for her false face, while not being able to put it down for long. When her parents informed her that, in light of both her academic irregularity and her penchant for periodically kicking her peers in their pouty pastry-holes, she would be going to a boarding school for her middle school years, she broke down in tears. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That, too, wasn't unusual. They let her run off to the dockside boathouse near the ocean on their seaside estate where she hid. They did not expect that this time, she would take a rowboat - and begin travelling out, as far as she could, tears in her eyes. A storm rose. The boat hit a far shore. As rain pelted down on her, she looked up at a gray eminence: someone who had come and waited, holding a lantern. The woman kissed her brow, bore her up the craggy path to a sheltered lighthouse, and fed her a meal of fish. She introduced herself as the Mother of Sorrows, and told Nori that she was in a home that had been prepared for her long ago. She could stay - forever, if she wished - and would learn many mysteries, and things she had not known she missed. She was a child of the Mother, at whatever remove, and she was not the first to come, nor would she be the last. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori ate her supper, and then said, But I have to go back; I'm to attend school soon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do you mean that? the Mother asked her. You do not have to. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori was silent for a long time. The Mother waited; she poured tea, served a small cake for dessert. Nori answered, finally: I don't know. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Mother smiled, and congratulated her for her honesty. Come back tomorrow, she said: Take the same boat. Come after breakfast, and stay the day. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori left; came back the next day; and here the two of them spoke at length. Nori's ears burned to hear the strange woman praise her for her strength and the force of her will. But I'm awful, Nori said. I decided to lie to everyone so that Mother and Father would not be sad. What's strong about that? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because, the Mother said, you did not lie. You performed, and you have kept the knowledge of yourself. Such strong will is worthy of a Queen. Return to me on this day, next year, and we will speak again. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori went to Ohtori then, and forgot about that entire conversation. She nearly forgot - if she hadn't looked in her old journal, she would have thought it was a dream. But on that day, a clear and blue day, she snuck away from her parents as they cossetted her infant brother, and sailed out of sight of land. Had it been a dream? She thought so, but when she turned around, she found the Mother sitting there. The Mother told her something of the history of the Sea of Tears, and how in time the sorrows of the world came there; how her children had filled the Earth, mingling with the races of mortal man, but how in time they would feel weighed upon by the passage of time. Those who could return to the Sea found themselves growing into strange and wonderful new powers and potencies... but most, in the end, did not. The Mother taught Nori a charm then, and told her to use it, not from here, but at Ohtori, in thirteen months, no more and more less. That charm was to sail away from land, however accomplished, steering without sight and with tears in her eyes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But... Nori thought Ohtori was great fun. Her feelings were lighter, though she still had dark and gloomy spells. She remembered what day it was when the news spoke of storms at sea and storms on land. She slipped off the school grounds, desperately taking a paddleboat; steering it away, trying to make headway against the surging waves. Futility and black depression lay upon her - and then she awoke in that familiar lighthouse, tucked into a warm if spartan bed. The Mother was there, and she was told then of her real purpose. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She could stay if she wished, as many others had, but she held the strength and the will to pursue the course needed. Become a Siren, the Mother said; gather the sorrows of the world and bring them here. In time, you will grow, and should you grow enough, you shall be Queen, as she who rules now under my watch grows old and weary of the task. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori accepted. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was then told, of course, that she was not alone, but...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Nori Ankou was a child with problems. No, they were not problems of misbehavior or foolishness; she was insightful and intelligent, an early reader and a thoughtful person. Her problem was much simpler: She had regular and frequent storms of a crippling, intractable depression. Even in an ideal situation this might have been less than positive. As it was, she was largely subject to displeasure from her parents, who had hoped for something more outgoing in a daughter... someone who could live up to the family's habits of being outgoing, go-getters, even a little ruthless at times. This disapproval didn't come with beatings, it just was an atmosphere of cold isolation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori learned to fake it. It was an amazing power. Her parents, evidently relieved at the sudden brashness and outgoing nature of their child, didn't question too much that she still spent lots of time alone, by herself. (&amp;quot;I need to think!&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I'm tired of seeing other people!&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Other people are dumb, gosh!!&amp;quot;) After all, at school, when she wasn't having a fit, she was fine. It was a relief to those parents, especially when they had a second child on their way - a son, too! Nori did not really like faking it, but it did, initially at least, seem to work. She did feel better... somewhat better... sometimes... However, after years of doing this, she began to despise herself for her false face, while not being able to put it down for long. When her parents informed her that, in light of both her academic irregularity and her penchant for periodically kicking her peers in their pouty pastry-holes, she would be going to a boarding school for her middle school years, she broke down in tears. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That, too, wasn't unusual. They let her run off to the dockside boathouse near the ocean on their seaside estate where she hid. They did not expect that this time, she would take a rowboat - and begin travelling out, as far as she could, tears in her eyes. A storm rose. The boat hit a far shore. As rain pelted down on her, she looked up at a gray eminence: someone who had come and waited, holding a lantern. The woman kissed her brow, bore her up the craggy path to a sheltered lighthouse, and fed her a meal of fish. She introduced herself as the Mother of Sorrows, and told Nori that she was in a home that had been prepared for her long ago. She could stay - forever, if she wished - and would learn many mysteries, and things she had not known she missed. She was a child of the Mother, at whatever remove, and she was not the first to come, nor would she be the last. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori ate her supper, and then said, But I have to go back; I'm to attend school soon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do you mean that? the Mother asked her. You do not have to. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori was silent for a long time. The Mother waited; she poured tea, served a small cake for dessert. Nori answered, finally: I don't know. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Mother smiled, and congratulated her for her honesty. Come back tomorrow, she said: Take the same boat. Come after breakfast, and stay the day. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori left; came back the next day; and here the two of them spoke at length. Nori's ears burned to hear the strange woman praise her for her strength and the force of her will. But I'm awful, Nori said. I decided to lie to everyone so that Mother and Father would not be sad. What's strong about that? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because, the Mother said, you did not lie. You performed, and you have kept the knowledge of yourself. Such strong will is worthy of a Queen. Return to me on this day, next year, and we will speak again. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori went to Ohtori then, and forgot about that entire conversation. She nearly forgot - if she hadn't looked in her old journal, she would have thought it was a dream. But on that day, a clear and blue day, she snuck away from her parents as they cossetted her infant brother, and sailed out of sight of land. Had it been a dream? She thought so, but when she turned around, she found the Mother sitting there. The Mother told her something of the history of the Sea of Tears, and how in time the sorrows of the world came there; how her children had filled the Earth, mingling with the races of mortal man, but how in time they would feel weighed upon by the passage of time. Those who could return to the Sea found themselves growing into strange and wonderful new powers and potencies... but most, in the end, did not. The Mother taught Nori a charm then, and told her to use it, not from here, but at Ohtori, in thirteen months, no more and more less. That charm was to sail away from land, however accomplished, steering without sight and with tears in her eyes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But... Nori thought Ohtori was great fun. Her feelings were lighter, though she still had dark and gloomy spells. She remembered what day it was when the news spoke of storms at sea and storms on land. She slipped off the school grounds, desperately taking a paddleboat; steering it away, trying to make headway against the surging waves. Futility and black depression lay upon her - and then she awoke in that familiar lighthouse, tucked into a warm if spartan bed. The Mother was there, and she was told then of her real purpose. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She could stay if she wished, as many others had, but she held the strength and the will to pursue the course needed. Become a Siren, the Mother said; gather the sorrows of the world and bring them here. In time, you will grow, and should you grow enough, you shall be Queen, as she who rules now under my watch grows old and weary of the task. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori accepted. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was then told, of course, that she was not alone, but...&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
==Profile==&lt;br /&gt;
Nori Ankou is a simple Ohtori from a wealthy family in Sapporo... on the surface, anyway, the same surface that shows a girl who's shed some of the classical ojou mannerisms in favor of dark hair, dark eyes and dark clothing. And adding to that darkness is her secret role as La Sirene du Nord, aspirant to the queendom of the Sea of Tears, a mystical realm of sorrow and dark beauty! (Even her magic lantern, the Brazen Pharos, seems to radiate darkness, not light.) Nori is a surprisingly vulnerable and caring young woman underneath the gothick demeanor, and la Sirene du Nord has changed too, from an ominous figure to a spectral protector of this flawed, wounded and beautiful world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Current Status==&lt;br /&gt;
Current Status Body Here&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
Nori Ankou was a child with problems. No, they were not problems of misbehavior or foolishness; she was insightful and intelligent, an early reader and a thoughtful person. Her problem was much simpler: She had regular and frequent storms of a crippling, intractable depression. Even in an ideal situation this might have been less than positive. As it was, she was largely subject to displeasure from her parents, who had hoped for something more outgoing in a daughter... someone who could live up to the family's habits of being outgoing, go-getters, even a little ruthless at times. This disapproval didn't come with beatings, it just was an atmosphere of cold isolation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori learned to fake it. It was an amazing power. Her parents, evidently relieved at the sudden brashness and outgoing nature of their child, didn't question too much that she still spent lots of time alone, by herself. (&amp;quot;I need to think!&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I'm tired of seeing other people!&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Other people are dumb, gosh!!&amp;quot;) After all, at school, when she wasn't having a fit, she was fine. It was a relief to those parents, especially when they had a second child on their way - a son, too! Nori did not really like faking it, but it did, initially at least, seem to work. She did feel better... somewhat better... sometimes... However, after years of doing this, she began to despise herself for her false face, while not being able to put it down for long. When her parents informed her that, in light of both her academic irregularity and her penchant for periodically kicking her peers in their pouty pastry-holes, she would be going to a boarding school for her middle school years, she broke down in tears. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That, too, wasn't unusual. They let her run off to the dockside boathouse near the ocean on their seaside estate where she hid. They did not expect that this time, she would take a rowboat - and begin travelling out, as far as she could, tears in her eyes. A storm rose. The boat hit a far shore. As rain pelted down on her, she looked up at a gray eminence: someone who had come and waited, holding a lantern. The woman kissed her brow, bore her up the craggy path to a sheltered lighthouse, and fed her a meal of fish. She introduced herself as the Mother of Sorrows, and told Nori that she was in a home that had been prepared for her long ago. She could stay - forever, if she wished - and would learn many mysteries, and things she had not known she missed. She was a child of the Mother, at whatever remove, and she was not the first to come, nor would she be the last. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori ate her supper, and then said, But I have to go back; I'm to attend school soon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do you mean that? the Mother asked her. You do not have to. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori was silent for a long time. The Mother waited; she poured tea, served a small cake for dessert. Nori answered, finally: I don't know. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Mother smiled, and congratulated her for her honesty. Come back tomorrow, she said: Take the same boat. Come after breakfast, and stay the day. &lt;br /&gt;

==Profile==&lt;br /&gt;
Nori Ankou is a simple Ohtori from a wealthy family in Sapporo... on the surface, anyway, the same surface that shows a girl who's shed some of the classical ojou mannerisms in favor of dark hair, dark eyes and dark clothing. And adding to that darkness is her secret role as La Sirene du Nord, aspirant to the queendom of the Sea of Tears, a mystical realm of sorrow and dark beauty! (Even her magic lantern, the Brazen Pharos, seems to radiate darkness, not light.) Nori is a surprisingly vulnerable and caring young woman underneath the gothick demeanor, and la Sirene du Nord has changed too, from an ominous figure to a spectral protector of this flawed, wounded and beautiful world.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Current Status Body Here&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
Nori Ankou was a child with problems. No, they were not problems of misbehavior or foolishness; she was insightful and intelligent, an early reader and a thoughtful person. Her problem was much simpler: She had regular and frequent storms of a crippling, intractable depression. Even in an ideal situation this might have been less than positive. As it was, she was largely subject to displeasure from her parents, who had hoped for something more outgoing in a daughter... someone who could live up to the family's habits of being outgoing, go-getters, even a little ruthless at times. This disapproval didn't come with beatings, it just was an atmosphere of cold isolation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori learned to fake it. It was an amazing power. Her parents, evidently relieved at the sudden brashness and outgoing nature of their child, didn't question too much that she still spent lots of time alone, by herself. (&amp;quot;I need to think!&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I'm tired of seeing other people!&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Other people are dumb, gosh!!&amp;quot;) After all, at school, when she wasn't having a fit, she was fine. It was a relief to those parents, especially when they had a second child on their way - a son, too! Nori did not really like faking it, but it did, initially at least, seem to work. She did feel better... somewhat better... sometimes... However, after years of doing this, she began to despise herself for her false face, while not being able to put it down for long. When her parents informed her that, in light of both her academic irregularity and her penchant for periodically kicking her peers in their pouty pastry-holes, she would be going to a boarding school for her middle school years, she broke down in tears. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That, too, wasn't unusual. They let her run off to the dockside boathouse near the ocean on their seaside estate where she hid. They did not expect that this time, she would take a rowboat - and begin travelling out, as far as she could, tears in her eyes. A storm rose. The boat hit a far shore. As rain pelted down on her, she looked up at a gray eminence: someone who had come and waited, holding a lantern. The woman kissed her brow, bore her up the craggy path to a sheltered lighthouse, and fed her a meal of fish. She introduced herself as the Mother of Sorrows, and told Nori that she was in a home that had been prepared for her long ago. She could stay - forever, if she wished - and would learn many mysteries, and things she had not known she missed. She was a child of the Mother, at whatever remove, and she was not the first to come, nor would she be the last. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori ate her supper, and then said, But I have to go back; I'm to attend school soon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do you mean that? the Mother asked her. You do not have to. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori was silent for a long time. The Mother waited; she poured tea, served a small cake for dessert. Nori answered, finally: I don't know. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Mother smiled, and congratulated her for her honesty. Come back tomorrow, she said: Take the same boat. Come after breakfast, and stay the day. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori left; came back the next day; and here the two of them spoke at length. Nori's ears burned to hear the strange woman praise her for her strength and the force of her will. But I'm awful, Nori said. I decided to lie to everyone so that Mother and Father would not be sad. What's strong about that? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because, the Mother said, you did not lie. You performed, and you have kept the knowledge of yourself. Such strong will is worthy of a Queen. Return to me on this day, next year, and we will speak again. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori went to Ohtori then, and forgot about that entire conversation. She nearly forgot - if she hadn't looked in her old journal, she would have thought it was a dream. But on that day, a clear and blue day, she snuck away from her parents as they cossetted her infant brother, and sailed out of sight of land. Had it been a dream? She thought so, but when she turned around, she found the Mother sitting there. The Mother told her something of the history of the Sea of Tears, and how in time the sorrows of the world came there; how her children had filled the Earth, mingling with the races of mortal man, but how in time they would feel weighed upon by the passage of time. Those who could return to the Sea found themselves growing into strange and wonderful new powers and potencies... but most, in the end, did not. The Mother taught Nori a charm then, and told her to use it, not from here, but at Ohtori, in thirteen months, no more and more less. That charm was to sail away from land, however accomplished, steering without sight and with tears in her eyes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But... Nori thought Ohtori was great fun. Her feelings were lighter, though she still had dark and gloomy spells. She remembered what day it was when the news spoke of storms at sea and storms on land. She slipped off the school grounds, desperately taking a paddleboat; steering it away, trying to make headway against the surging waves. Futility and black depression lay upon her - and then she awoke in that familiar lighthouse, tucked into a warm if spartan bed. The Mother was there, and she was told then of her real purpose. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She could stay if she wished, as many others had, but she held the strength and the will to pursue the course needed. Become a Siren, the Mother said; gather the sorrows of the world and bring them here. In time, you will grow, and should you grow enough, you shall be Queen, as she who rules now under my watch grows old and weary of the task. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori accepted. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was then told, of course, that she was not alone, but...&lt;br /&gt;

==Profile==&lt;br /&gt;
Nori Ankou: a mystery, a myth, a legend, a schoolgirl. Mostly the latter. Hailing from the northern shores of Sapporo, Nori's family is new money, and it shows in her bossy, bombastic demeanor. Those few who grow close to her glimpse something else beneath that surface, a looking-away from inner pain... Or perhaps they sense her descent from the dark bloodlines of the Mother of Sorrows, and her secret identity as 'La Sirene du Nord,' the future queen of the Sea of Tears! (Well, don't tell her cousin that.) Dedicated to collecting the world's sorrows by any means necessary, La Sirene du Nord does not let herself stop to wonder at the futility of this task.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Current Status==&lt;br /&gt;
Current Status Body Here&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==History==&lt;br /&gt;
Nori Ankou was a child with problems. No, they were not problems of misbehavior or foolishness; she was insightful and intelligent, an early reader and a thoughtful person. Her problem was much simpler: She had regular and frequent storms of a crippling, intractable depression. Even in an ideal situation this might have been less than positive. As it was, she was largely subject to displeasure from her parents, who had hoped for something more outgoing in a daughter... someone who could live up to the family's habits of being outgoing, go-getters, even a little ruthless at times. This disapproval didn't come with beatings, it just was an atmosphere of cold isolation. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori learned to fake it. It was an amazing power. Her parents, evidently relieved at the sudden brashness and outgoing nature of their child, didn't question too much that she still spent lots of time alone, by herself. (&amp;quot;I need to think!&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I'm tired of seeing other people!&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Other people are dumb, gosh!!&amp;quot;) After all, at school, when she wasn't having a fit, she was fine. It was a relief to those parents, especially when they had a second child on their way - a son, too! Nori did not really like faking it, but it did, initially at least, seem to work. She did feel better... somewhat better... sometimes... However, after years of doing this, she began to despise herself for her false face, while not being able to put it down for long. When her parents informed her that, in light of both her academic irregularity and her penchant for periodically kicking her peers in their pouty pastry-holes, she would be going to a boarding school for her middle school years, she broke down in tears. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That, too, wasn't unusual. They let her run off to the dockside boathouse near the ocean on their seaside estate where she hid. They did not expect that this time, she would take a rowboat - and begin travelling out, as far as she could, tears in her eyes. A storm rose. The boat hit a far shore. As rain pelted down on her, she looked up at a gray eminence: someone who had come and waited, holding a lantern. The woman kissed her brow, bore her up the craggy path to a sheltered lighthouse, and fed her a meal of fish. She introduced herself as the Mother of Sorrows, and told Nori that she was in a home that had been prepared for her long ago. She could stay - forever, if she wished - and would learn many mysteries, and things she had not known she missed. She was a child of the Mother, at whatever remove, and she was not the first to come, nor would she be the last. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori ate her supper, and then said, But I have to go back; I'm to attend school soon. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Do you mean that? the Mother asked her. You do not have to. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori was silent for a long time. The Mother waited; she poured tea, served a small cake for dessert. Nori answered, finally: I don't know. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Mother smiled, and congratulated her for her honesty. Come back tomorrow, she said: Take the same boat. Come after breakfast, and stay the day. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori left; came back the next day; and here the two of them spoke at length. Nori's ears burned to hear the strange woman praise her for her strength and the force of her will. But I'm awful, Nori said. I decided to lie to everyone so that Mother and Father would not be sad. What's strong about that? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Because, the Mother said, you did not lie. You performed, and you have kept the knowledge of yourself. Such strong will is worthy of a Queen. Return to me on this day, next year, and we will speak again. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori went to Ohtori then, and forgot about that entire conversation. She nearly forgot - if she hadn't looked in her old journal, she would have thought it was a dream. But on that day, a clear and blue day, she snuck away from her parents as they cossetted her infant brother, and sailed out of sight of land. Had it been a dream? She thought so, but when she turned around, she found the Mother sitting there. The Mother told her something of the history of the Sea of Tears, and how in time the sorrows of the world came there; how her children had filled the Earth, mingling with the races of mortal man, but how in time they would feel weighed upon by the passage of time. Those who could return to the Sea found themselves growing into strange and wonderful new powers and potencies... but most, in the end, did not. The Mother taught Nori a charm then, and told her to use it, not from here, but at Ohtori, in thirteen months, no more and more less. That charm was to sail away from land, however accomplished, steering without sight and with tears in her eyes. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But... Nori thought Ohtori was great fun. Her feelings were lighter, though she still had dark and gloomy spells. She remembered what day it was when the news spoke of storms at sea and storms on land. She slipped off the school grounds, desperately taking a paddleboat; steering it away, trying to make headway against the surging waves. Futility and black depression lay upon her - and then she awoke in that familiar lighthouse, tucked into a warm if spartan bed. The Mother was there, and she was told then of her real purpose. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She could stay if she wished, as many others had, but she held the strength and the will to pursue the course needed. Become a Siren, the Mother said; gather the sorrows of the world and bring them here. In time, you will grow, and should you grow enough, you shall be Queen, as she who rules now under my watch grows old and weary of the task. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nori accepted. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She was then told, of course, that she was not alone, but...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;Schools: 2014 Cultural Festival&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is a list of school, class, and club-made events to be presented at the upcoming 2014 Sister Schools Cultural Festival.  Players are encouraged to add their own entries, in collaboration with their classmates and club members.  Please use the wiki formatting shown in the example at the top of Infinity Institute, and have fun!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Infinity Institute===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====Low-Stakes Casino=====&lt;br /&gt;
'''Event Host:''' Infinity Institute 7th Grade Class&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Event Description:''' The Infinity Institute seventh-graders have elected to turn their classroom into a luxuriously appointed casino of the type they've seen only on television and the silver screen.  Dramatic velvet drapery in reds and blacks, tables stained to resemble mahogany, and the occasional beautiful, classmember-donated object d'arte or exceptional indoor plant combine to create an exotic and exciting ambiance.  Members of the class, in appropriate attire, welcome visitors, explain games, deal cards, serve (strictly non-alcoholic) drinks, and &amp;quot;cash&amp;quot; people out -- but since the gambling chips can only be exchanged for chocolate, no cash is actually involved.  On the other hand: ''the gambling chips can only be exchanged for chocolate!!'' Some dessert aficionados are playing the tables with a mix of enthusiasm and desperation as true to the feeling of Las Vegas as anything could be.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====Katamari Soccer=====&lt;br /&gt;
'''Event Host:''' Infinity Institute Soccer Club&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Event Description:'''  Infinity's soccer club has decided to hold a special exhibition match at the soccer field - or rather, a series of short soccer games open for anyone to join.  There's always at least a couple of players on hand to give the teams some direction, or just to show off for an audience - but they're perfectly willing to step aside for interested individuals.  There's just one catch to this game - the soccer ball is considerably larger than usual.  Lightweight, inflated but durable, it towers over most players - several players getting into things by whistling the theme to a certain game about rolling things up.  Other than the absurd size of the ball (and goals), normal rules apply - including not being allowed to touch the ball with your hands.  The net result is often a flip of the usual norm for soccer players - at Infinity's cultural festival, ball chases you!&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====Time Trial Tower=====&lt;br /&gt;
'''Event Host:''' Infinity Institute 12th Grade Class&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Event Description:''' Members of Infinity's twelfth-graders have commandeered one of the lesser-used staircases for their project, expanding beyond the confines of the classroom.  It's a race, for anyone who wishes to challenge it - starting at their classroom, ascend the staircase to reach the finish the fastest.  Of course, a simple sprint up stairs would be boring - even if that was the original suggestion - and so the class has pooled their efforts to spice things up.  At predetermined intervals along the way, unknown obstacles will surface to hinder the challenger.  Perhaps a door bars the racer's path, opening only when a riddle is solved!  Perhaps there's a set of tires that must be navigated as a feat of athletics.  Perhaps there's a pie-eating contest as a requirement to proceed.  Or maybe the challenger must defeat the (papier-mâché) dragon!  It's never the same race twice - and the posted results include a list of what was faced along the way.  How quickly can you reach the top - and what will you face along the way?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Ohtori Academy===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====Twisted Mirror Funhouse=====&lt;br /&gt;
'''Event Host:''' Ohtori Academy Fashion Club&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Event Description:''' A common circus attraction is a funhouse of twisted mirrors, meant to show warped reflections.  The Fashion Club liked this idea, but had an idea for an alternate twist; having prepared thousands of outfits and arranged for makeup artists and actors both, they've created a funhouse of twisted reflections.  Rather than simple distorted silver, though, their mirrors are windows - with doppelgangers of the visitors in a variety of outfits from every style and period imaginable.  Walk into the hall, and see your reflection as you might have been in a dozen other eras!  (Due to logistics, a limited number of people are allowed in at a time.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====The Parade of the Blade=====&lt;br /&gt;
'''Event Host:''' Ohtori Academy Fencing Club&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Event Description:''' Thrilling feats of derring do with sword, knife, and other blades are a staple of the circus. Ohtori's prestigious fencing club had a lengthy discussion on just what blade sport to focus upon - and has settled, instead, upon everything. A gorgeous pavilion keeps the summery sun at bay while members of the fencing club demonstrate their prowess with exhibition matches, feats of speed (&amp;quot;How many coins can sempai catch on her blade, before a single one hits the ground?&amp;quot;) and, for the brave of heart, a knife-throwing act... where YOU are the target. (Apples for the top of the head are available upon request.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Juuban Public School===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====Going Green=====&lt;br /&gt;
'''Event Host:''' Juuban Science Club&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Event Description:''' A scale model of the Juuban Public Schools has been set up in the science lab, complete with tiny pipes and wiring -- water and power!  Remarkably, it is all provided by sustainable means, some of them very clever.  A wind-powered well features prominently, while a bank of actual solar panels has been produced in full-scale form and are hanging out of the windows, trying to catch a few rays.  There are a few other enjoyable gadgets, prominent among them the watermill harnessed to power a candy-making machine, and posters all around the room report on various sustainable energy opportunities, even providing potential budgets for how Juuban could get off the grid within the next five years.&lt;br /&gt;
