In the MegaGamers store, Piro stands behind the counter wearing DiGi Charat cosplay hat and gloves. Erika stands next to him wearing rabbit ears and a cosplay dress with a cross necklace, holding the DiGi Charat dress and tails she wants Piro to put on, and explains about Piro to Yanigasawa who is in his usual shirt, bow tie, and MegaGamers shop apron and is smoking a cigarette. Erika: <The new mascot you promised you would hire weeks ago to help me run this dump.>

Well, kinda glad I hadn't pushed book 7 out yet. Dark horse without Mike isn't Dark Horse. Sad to see this happen to this once wonderful, vibrant publisher. Now I'll have to find another publisher for v7. *has a big sad*

i love the witch hat atelier mangaka more and more every day yall dont know what this means to me

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

Outside of the MegaGamers store after the fanboy riot, Miho, Ping, Junko, and the rest of Largo's class wear their school uniforms while Largo wears a button-up shirt that is largely unbuttoned and looks grimly at Miho. Miho: <Usually we try to fight small, unimportant battles we know we can win. It makes us feel better about the big ones we can't.>

In Kimiko and Erika's apartment, Erika sits on the floor wearing a bikini and surrounded by computer equipment while Piro stands nearby in his boxers, having been working on Erika's computer build and discussing Piro's relationship with Kimiko. Erika listens and Piro looks surprised and confused at the noise as Kimiko flees the bathroom she had been hiding in and escapes out the front door, not able to listen anymore.

At the train station, Kimiko searches through her purse and looks worried. Kimiko: <Where's my rail card? I know it's in here...>

Hey @scalzi.com, want something to feel good about today? I was in a local indie bookstore today and found a book i wanted to try but they didn't have vol 1 so i got it from Hoopla... felt bad, wanted to support them, so i picked up Starter Villain. :)

literally me, right now:

In the apartment above MegaGamers, Piro arrives home to find Miho wearing a dark sweater, skirt, and sad kitty ear hat as she lies asleep on the couch, having nowhere else to go.

Early in the morning their apartment, Erika wears the tshirt she slept in and talks to Kimiko while sitting on her comforter. Erika: <I'm sorry, Kimiko. If anyone could have helped you deal with that, it's me. And I haven't been here for you. I'm sorry. It may feel like it was a disaster, but I think you handled it really well. You didn't run away, you made your own decisions and you stood up for yourself. That's more than I ever did.>

So, um.... hrm.

Long live 2D animation (& practical effects).

Yuki wears a vest over short sleeve shirt and lies back on her bed and talks to herself with her hands resting on her forehead. Yuki: <Mom has the same powers, but... She used them to do all kinds of dangerous and exciting things. It sounded so... romantic.>

Oh, this is by no means the first time in the 16 years i've been working with Scouting that i've been frustrated, mad and angry at them. It's just with this, it feels like they need to take "Brave" out of the scout law because they are not leading by example.

and I thought i was disgusted yesterday. *sigh*

Asako and Mami are wearing tshirts and shorts for gym class and are discussing Yuki's moping. Asako: <Poor Yuki-chan! She's suffering in silence!> Mami: <Even your constant nagging isn't fazing her. Weird.>

If Scouting, Scouts, and Scouters don't stand up to this, Jack will have wasted a significant portion of his life to an organization that failed him and every Scout in its history with their cowardice. Pathetic.

At the bar, Ashe finishes her drink in her right hand while pushing her stook back from the bar with her left, as she prepares to suplex Megumi who is sitting to her left.

At the counter of the MegaGamers store, Piro wears a hoodie and talks to Erika who is wearing Clannad cosplay including a cosplay gun. Ed and Dom stand in front of the counter, with Ed wearing a jacket over PS3 tshirt and having his face and hands wrapped fully in bandages, and Dom wearing his usual Sega Black OPS jacket over shirt and tie. After Ed's threat detector alarm went off because of Erika's presence, Ed wields a Sony chain saw and Dom a katana. Erika: <I see it's going to be one of those kind of days.> Piro: <Good morning, Hayasaka-san.> Dom: Careful Ed, she's packing.

I need to cut the crap and accept my role as a creator in this current world. I need to stop questioning myself so much.

Prologue

Largo and Piro are in line for the Tokyo Game Show. Largo: I mean, here we are, at yet another gaming trade show. Every year, it's the same thing. Game shows, LAN parties, nothing ever changes. Don't you ever think that there might be more to life than just games?

At the corner of a T intersection in Ikuebukuro, Miho wears a winter coat, has her hair in ribbons and pigtails and her hands in her pockets. Across the street are some buildings and a semi parked on the side of the road with traffic cones in front and behind. Snow gently falls as Miho gazes into the distance. A classic Megatokyo Sad Girls in Snow moment.

In case you don't recall, she is referring to her 'leash'. #scarykimiko

On board a ship in a previous life, Miho has a smile on her face, holds a book in her right hand against her shoulder, as she walks through the wheelhouse. Behind her, the captain is at the wheel wearing a captain's hat, beard, and smoking. Two other crew members look at charts. Miho voiceover: <What if she had earned their respect as she helped them earn their fortunes?>

She got into our 80s horror VHS tapes and felt inspired.

Ping in a leotard. Why? I have no idea. Ask her.
