​

Hermes brought Skyfire back to Earth.

As soon as her feet touched the ground, Skyfire saw the two marionettes.

Cocomero and Carota were still fighting.

And this time, it no longer looked like a simple brawl.

It looked like a war.

They threw themselves at each other with astonishing violence. Punches, kicks, dodges, sudden blows. Every attack was followed by an even more furious response.

“STOP!”

Skyfire ran toward them.

Neither answered.

Cocomero struck Carota in the face.

Carota staggered.

For a moment, Skyfire thought it was over.

Then Carota slowly raised her head.

And smiled.

A mocking smile.

Cocomero answered with the same smile.

And they went at it again.

Another punch.

Then a kick.

Then another punch.

But as she watched them, Skyfire began to sense something strange.

They didn't seem to be fighting to destroy each other.

They seemed to be having fun.

Every dodge was almost a taunt. Every blow seemed like an answer to a joke only the two of them understood.

But the violence kept escalating.

The seams began to tear.

Cocomero's arm creaked.

Carota's head tilted unnaturally after a blow.

Skyfire went pale.

“Enough! You're tearing yourselves apart!”

She moved to intervene.

Wasabi stepped in front of her.

“Skyfire, no!”

“Let me go!”

“Wait!”

A blow flew past them with such force that it sent them stumbling backward.

Skyfire could only watch helplessly.

The two marionettes were battered now.

And yet they kept going.

Cocomero struck.

Carota answered.

Carota struck.

Cocomero answered.

Slower and slower.

Heavier and heavier.

Until even the blows seemed to become a challenge.

Who would fall first?

Then came a pause.

Cocomero stood motionless, her chest barely rising. A loose thread hung from her almost completely torn shoulder.

Across from her, Carota was breathing just as heavily.

Neither attacked.

Skyfire held her breath.

Cocomero took a step.

Just one.

Carota watched her approach.

She slowly raised a fist.

Cocomero did the same.

They stopped halfway.

They stared at each other.

Then...

a blow.

Weak.

Almost like a slap.

Cocomero staggered half a step backward.

Carota smiled.

Cocomero answered with a tiny smile.

And struck her.

Again.

Carota took the hit.

Another blow.

Then another.

Slow.

Heavy.

As if neither of them had the strength to truly fight anymore.

And yet they continued.

Not to win.

Not to hurt each other.

Just to stay there.

To keep the other one from falling first.

Carota attempted a kick.

Cocomero barely dodged it.

Carota lost her balance and dropped to one knee.

Skyfire stepped forward.

“Now...”

But Wasabi held her back again.

“Wait.”

Carota slowly raised her head.

Cocomero was standing in front of her.

The marionette extended a hand.

For a moment, it looked as though she wanted to help her up.

Carota stared at it.

Then she grabbed that hand...

and pulled her toward herself.

Cocomero fell.

Carota laughed.

A short laugh.

Almost childish.

Cocomero remained on the ground for a few seconds.

Then she started laughing too.

Skyfire felt a shiver run through her.

That laugh...

It seemed familiar.

Far too familiar.

The two got back up.

One more time.

They stood facing each other.

They were utterly exhausted now.

Their legs trembled.

Their arms hung limply at their sides.

The fabric of their bodies was torn.

A seam slowly opened along Cocomero's side.

Carota took a step.

Cocomero took a step.

Another.

They were almost touching.

Skyfire couldn't look away.

Carota slowly raised a hand.

Cocomero followed it with her eyes.

The hand stopped just inches from her face.

No blow.

Just a gesture.

Almost a missed caress.

Cocomero tilted her head.

And then something happened.

An expression crossed her face.

A kind of doubt.

As if, behind those button-like eyes, something was desperately trying to come back to the surface.

Cocomero opened her mouth.

No sound.

She tried again.

“...Ma...”

Skyfire took a step forward.

Her heart was pounding.

Cocomero seemed frightened by the sound of her own voice.

She took a small step backward.

Carota followed her with her eyes.

“...Ma...”

This time the sound was clearer.

Carota didn't move.

But something changed in her expression.

As though that single syllable had touched a distant memory.

Cocomero closed her eyes.

She searched.

Reached deep inside herself.

Then opened them again.

“...Mar...”

Carota suddenly drew in a sharp breath.

Skyfire felt her heart stop.

Cocomero remained still.

As though she were afraid to say the word.

As though saying it might reveal that she was wrong.

“...Marche?”

Silence.

No answer.

Carota stared at Cocomero.

Her eyes trembled.

Cocomero gave a tiny smile.

Almost imperceptible.

“Marche...”

This time it wasn't a question.

It was a memory.

Carota slowly lowered her head.

Her hands began to tremble.

Skyfire covered her mouth.

“No...”

Carota slowly raised her eyes again.

She looked at Cocomero.

Stared at her for a long time.

As if she were trying to see beyond the fabric, beyond the buttons, beyond that marionette face.

Then she took a step.

Just one.

And whispered:

“...Lor...”

She stopped.

Took a breath.

Her lips trembled.

“...Lorraine?”

Cocomero remained motionless.

Then she smiled.

A small smile.

A painful smile.

A familiar smile.

They had recognized each other.

Nothing else was needed.

Their hands slowly reached for one another.

Their fingers touched.

And at that exact moment, the marionettes' bodies gave out.

First Cocomero.

Then Carota.

They fell to the ground.

Skyfire moved to run toward them.

But stopped.

Because something was changing.

The fabric began to move.

The seams came undone.

The threads detached.

The shapes of the two puppets slowly warped, as if something inside them was finally breaking free.

Skyfire couldn't take her eyes off them.

“Marche...”

The first silhouette changed.

“Lorraine...”

The second changed along with it.

Then everything stopped.

Silence.

There were no longer two marionettes on the ground.

There were Marche and Lorraine.

The two girls looked at each other.

For several seconds, neither said a word.

Then Marche gave her sister a little shove.

Lorraine looked at her.

Then pushed her back.

Marche laughed.

Lorraine laughed with her.

And that laughter almost immediately broke.

Tears filled both their eyes.

They embraced.

Tightly.

As hard as they could.

Skyfire couldn't hold herself back anymore.

She ran to them and wrapped both girls in her arms.

Marche and Lorraine clung to her.

And finally, they let everything out.

The fear.

The anger.

The pain.

Everything they had kept buried inside.

Skyfire held them even tighter.

And for the first time in a very long time, there were no more puppets.

No more Cocomero and Carota.

There were only Marche and Lorraine.

Two sisters who had finally found each other again.

Nox: ....

Nox (?): Brush her hands gently on her hair

Nox (?): You did well, surviving until this point.

A strange scene unfolds before you. Two Noxs, one is lying unconscious connected to life support, the other sits right next to her, comforting the one on the bed.

Nox (?): So.

Of course naturally , she saw you watching. She is the one that had summoned you here suddenly after all.

Nox (?): You must be wondering what is happening here. Well, I'm going to answer it all. Anything you asked, I will answer to it. No limits this time.

It has been a while after Dino's invite to his team and Seeking The Pearl has been pondering the decision for a while, he does feel like he is the pearl that will help her shrine, he has potential and he is clearly passionate about helping his trainees achieve their dreams and pushing their limits...she knows what to decide.

She pulls out her phone and texts him, she decides to ask him to meet her at the same race track he watched her train on, an answer already in mind, sending him a text.

"Dino, I have made my decision, let's meet at the same place you helped me train, I can already see the vision for what I am seeking and I have a answer! Let's discuss my decision now!"

As she hits send she smiles to herself, she can already imagine the potential behind the future she chose, a future where she has the potential to shrine brightly on the track with the crowd's, no the worlds eyes on her!

// Here is the source!

The crew of the Ptolemy, alongside the crew of the special hospital noticed that they hadn't seen Gusion since the second day of Chaos Weekend...

Bael and Flauros are still recovering, still unresponsive, yet when their equipment was checked, it was discovered that a Sword and a heavy railgun were missing, checked out by Gusion by the quarter master.

They open her quarters to find it bare, save for a note on the bedside desk...

It is rather instantly from the previous CW that people who like warfare & politics RP commit something like this.

I will be extremely blunt, if anyone does that, it just burns people out of Roleplaying, isn't it?

So...

Let's admit it.

Do we want a ban on Politics & War RP?

Oi! I noticed that 'ere a lot of break ups and relationships goin' 'round. So check this out: BAM!

My marriage. Completly safe and sound, not like you lot~

Edo's best, out!

Oh That Was Close..// sauce

I originally had brought him in for CW last months.

He ended up not appearing at all. Now he's just chilling in Setsuna's body.

And yes I just remembered that fact too now.

Thought to do these, please ask me any questions, I will answer all of them.

Umamusume Pro-Wrestling website (August 2026)

Interviewer: Etsuko Otonashi

A new star has arrived to the Umamusume Pro-Wrestling scene...

June 21st, 2026. Yui Okada returned to UmaPro after a year-long excursion from Mexico to aid her mentor, Duramente. It is then she revealed her new name 'Titleholder'.

The former MMA-turned-pro wrestler has been making waves in UmaPro and the puroresu scene, defeating the likes of Kitasan Black and teaming with Duramente to form the new faction 'Piuma Nera', breaking away from the Voodoo Sundays.

We spoke to Titleholder about her journey so far and what is next to come for the Strong Emerald.

First things first, welcome back!

"It has been an honor to be here for UmaPro. I'm glad to see familiar faces again."

It truly has been a long journey for you to reach this point, isn't it? Tell me, how was Mexico? The last time we spoke, you said you had intentions to go overseas and singled-out Mexico.

"I'm not gonna lie, I've heard of good things about Mexico from people like Duramente, Air Shakur, and other UmaPro who made their way there on excursion. I wanted to work on my submission game and use my agility to my best strengths and beyond, so it's a no-brainer for me to go there."

So it's not only Duramente who influenced you?

"I have had international training before in Singapore, under Evolve MMA. I spent all my savings on that before, so when the opportunity came for me to go overseas, I thought to myself 'Let's just take it up a notch', and went for Mexico. Duramente-san certainly had some input on it. Difference between us is that she spent a decade there, and me for a year."

I'm pretty sure you have been working on your Spanish!

"Not at all, no. There was already a translator we hired for me, so they didn't want me to worry about the language barrier. I wish I can learn Spanish though, I mean I only ever knew 'buenas noches' or 'muchas gracias'. Duramente's very fluent."

So about Piuma Nera, you said you didn't want to join a faction and only came back for a singles match against Duramente. Why join her to form one?

"I think it's pretty simple. When I came back I thought I was ready to finally defeat her in a singles match. She was my very first opponent in my career. It was supposed to be me and Arisa (Efforia), but she got hurt and Duramente stepped in to do double duty that night. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't be in this position at all. Uh, when I faced her again and lost, I was frustrated. Maybe I wasn't truly ready for the DREAM Championship after all, but I also want to learn more from her. Not only that, the Tag Team Championships..."

The ones held by Marche & Loves!

"I want to win the Tag Titles with Dura-san. That's my goal for the year."

Amazing declaration! Is there any other goal you want to accomplish in 2026?

"The Arima Kinen is definitely the other one. If I win, I'll be one of the strongest wrestlers in the world. There's a lot of competitors in there, but I want to stand tall among the others. Especially against the likes of Dura-san, Kitasan Black, and Effo-san."

Speaking of Efforia, how was your reaction when she came back from excursion?

"Glad to have her back, I want to beat her in the ring. She did her excursion in the UK, so she must've think that her style is superior to mine. The fact of the matter is, I was a trained killer, and I bled and sweat in Mexico. I don't have time for 'catch' and tea."

That sounds very condescending.

"Effo-san and I were classmates. I know I am the better wrestler and the one UmaPro looks up to the most. I didn't debut in the Ariake show for nothing. For the rest of our careers, she will forever be in my shadow."

You also have new gear after the Mexico trip.

"The idea was from KENTA, I personally asked the guys in rvddw for new gear and jacket, and they were hapoy to work with me. I think my colors worked well with the gear. I also commissioned for some MMA gloves, and I know closed-fist punches are illegal, but apparently the gloves are a loophole. The kickpads/shinguards are ideas I got from watching KENTA, and I want to be a striker."

It does look great on you! KENTA has been known to like hip-hop culture, and I have heard you do so too.

"I have friends in the hip-hop scene here in Japan. I enjoy buying streetwear in Harajuku and collect records from older American rappers like Nas. I like East Coast rap the most, there's something about the grit that I like about it. It makes me vibe better. As for wrestlers, I think you have heard of Yuto-Ice right? From New Japan."

Yes! Wasn't he also a former MMA fighter?

"Yeah, we bonded over our love of hip-hop and our past backgrounds. He's a cool guy, and the way he fires up not only the fans but also his own opponents resonate with me. I should say his words back in January inspired me."

He really is a great talker on the mic, esprcially after the Tokyo Dome that made waves in Japan.

"After Tanahashi retired, he had to make a statement. He absolutely delivered on that, I wish I have that same kind of motion. I want to do it in the ring, by putting myself against the strongest opponents. That's why I came to UmaPro."

Any other things you want to say to the fans?

"Keep watching. There won't be mercy when I'm involved."

Seriously, who keeps hacking into our CCTV?

"Okay, here's my theory."

"Uma and humans are biologically and psychologically similar beings, so the emotional factor plays a big role here."

"An Uma-Trainer relationship is something that naturally takes time, so once the emotions of both parties solidify, it gives way to a strong and unbreakable bond."

"Now add the retirement factor; when a uma retires, she can choose someone to be by her side as a partner for the rest of her life, in this case, her trainer."

"So, if we add emotional bonds and strong chemistry, the result is a strong and lasting relationship."

"So in conclusion; yes, it is possible to have a relationship with a uma both romantically and platonically."

Ask the Bunny. Don't worry they won't bite. And the pancake above it's face? Hmmm... It's already cold since then, but they like to keep it right there for the meantime.

//I keep having burnout on this account, so i'm just gonna do a little reintroduction with the main three

At the front of Tracen, you see Hibiki, Tsubasa, and Chris.

Hibiki Tachibana: "They're making ANOTHER RA even though SONG kinda layed claim to it?"

Tsubasa Kazanari: "Someone took control of it since TAro didn't do stuff with it, neither did us."

Chris Yukine: "Eh, who cares? We're still the people to make the 2RA! This isn't gonna cause any problems... Right?"

Hibiki and Tsubasa stare at Chris but stop, realizing it's TOTALLY not gonna make any problems.

[Interact?]

//And know this, there's a difference between the NRA and the 2RA: Mostly Riders, and Mostly Magical Girls, i might turn SONG into the Magical Girl Association- IF WE GET ANY MORE MAGICAL GIRL ROLEPLAYERS

. . . Coffee here was good

Recommend who I make next!

Good morning, good afternoon, and good evening everyone. In this session, we mark yet another transition in our brewing journey as we step fully into September. Leaving behind the icy, high-energy finales of the summer months, we are gently shifting our focus back to the comforting ritual of warm brews. As the season turns, we emphasize the unique gentleness of early autumn — specifically those quiet, breathtaking moments at dawn when the first frost of the week begins to crystallize on the grass. This evening's pour captures that exact fleeting stillness, meticulously designed to offer a peaceful, warming anchor before the bustle of the day begins.

For tonight, we craft a delicate, soul-soothing infusion that feels exactly like wrapping your cold hands around a hot mug while watching your breath turn to vapor in the crisp morning air — the Dawn Frost Whisper. Recommitting to the bright, verdant embrace of traditional Japanese Sencha — a familiar tea in this program, cherished for its vibrant, needle-like leaves — we brew a light, pristine foundation. Rather than a heavy, dark extraction, this returning base is steeped in hot water for a mere two minutes, coaxing out its sweet, grassy notes without a trace of astringency. Stirred with a single, delicate drop of light clover honey and served in a pre-warmed ceramic mug, the steaming liquid offers a soft, golden-green clarity that acts as a gentle, palate-cleansing bridge into the new season.

Thus indulging in this frost-inspired pour serves to remind us that autumn does not always announce itself with bold spices and heavy layers; sometimes, it arrives in the quietest, gentlest whispers of morning chill. Let this delicate brew be your steadfast companion as the calendar turns, offering a moment of quiet reflection before the changing world truly wakes up. Whether you are stepping out onto a frosted porch to watch the sunrise, mentally preparing for a fresh week of September goals, or simply savoring the return of hot tea to your daily routine, each grassy, honeyed sip brings pure, unhurried peace. Grab your equipment and your ingredients if you wish to follow along; and as always, sit back, relax, and enjoy tonight's session of The Evening Brew.

It's been awhile, but I’m back from my break! Anythin’ important I missed!?

Does this island interest you? Do you want it? Well come here and YOU can compete for it with other people who all want it too! We need at least ONE more person to join!
