Kasey was raised to deceived. She was born from parents who taught her to lie and to hide the monster that lived in her. She learned to hide her feelings from the doctors that dissected her. She got a job from a criminal mastermind, and learned to hide her doings. She got her job at UA, hiding everything that was about her. She was trained to lie, to hide, and to deceive. How much of her life was her own? How much of her life was someone elses? "There was a lot of us that day. Some stayed back to answer questions. Others were still fighting what was left of the military. I continued to keep the perimeter safe. I don't have time for interviews." Kasey said, realizing how close she was to the truth. Would she discover who was under the mask and paint? Would she learn of her real name? It was less and less of a game of cloak and dagger, and more a game to see how smart she could be. Kasey knew well, perhaps too well, of her position in Japan. The new CEO of the Ketsujo Corporation. A business partnered in secret with the Kobayashi Clan Mafia. A family, that Kasey had found her way into, just by dating Thundershocks daughter, the same number one villain that ran the clan. With it, she was a humble janitor at UA, someone who had easy ties to heroes, and by default, and eye on them. She owned the Pink Jackal, a building under a false guise of helping vigilantes. It wasn't her doing, but one of the heroes she employed. Kasey had a hand in every cookie jar. And she had a hold on every cookie. "Villains exist behind every corner." Kasey would begin. "All it takes is one lying quirkless man to deceive the world, provide the best cover of a skill unused. At least, unused to the public." She spoke ill of the quirkless, not out of spite or hate, but distaste of a single man's mask. Sato. "It comes down to this," Kasey folded her hands, her elbows on her desk. "I'm not saying you are, I'm not saying you're not. But you know who Lady Scandal is, or at least you're someone they trust." There was much to say, much to provide, but at the same time, Kasey had nothing to say. "Either way, Mizuki, you're in danger." Connections to a chatroom full of villains. A nose trying to sniff out the next best headliner. She needed protection. "I will offer you two things, both to yourself, and or Lady Scandal herself." She had to be her. Kasey had no doubt in her mind. "I need an accountant. Master Hain grows tired with his double shift both here, and for our other boss. As for your company, and the chances they too are tainted, I can easily buy them out. So I offer both of these, in an effort to protect you, her, both, just you, just her. I'm not doing this for Lady Scandal alone, but for someone Gigi holds close to him.
I'd hate to see another one he loves getting taken to another far off country, assuming you make it out alive."Was it a warning? Was it a threat? Was it a blessing? Was it a curse? Whatever it was. Kasey was only going to offer it once. ~ Word Count: 580 ~ [Kasey & Setsuna] || TrackerQuirks/Abilities: Spirit Harvest : C Iron Stomach : E | Out of Body Experience : F | Busy-ness License : D Regeneration : D |

at most I'm sleeping all these demons away The only description that Hanako could give to her thoughts was that she was falling down the rabbit hole, very strange objects and views and things she could not correlate to the next dimension or next waterfall on words that could have a second or even a third meaning. This web was so tight around her that she even started to doubt her own capability of playing this game and guessing the meaning of words that she normally was able to flawless grasp. Now they seem distant and strange, what would she expect and what should she consider to be the truth. Hanako wondered if she had figured out a mistake that Macabre had made and that she now was changing, she had said before that she had been at semper fi, there was a note on the tablet in front of her, as she had spoken about the drug like quirk that she had not seen on the event that she happened to view, it meant that she had to be there. Yes, there were a lot of them that day, innocent bystanders, saved by the kids. The fact that she said specifically that she had no time for interviews made Hanako narrow her eyes, she had not asked that she had not suggested that in her question, so she was Kasey? No, that made no sense, why talk about Gil's sister like that. But what in this whole conversation had made sense before? When Macabre or was she Kasey? Turned the topic to the idea of a villain or multiple in Metropolitan, she was concerned with her own safety as well as pushing G to work as security for her company, or well the company she worked for. Had she made a grave mistake that would never be problematic before she fell into the arms of a vigilante and now was slowly connected by a whole lot more without her actually knowing? The way Macabre spoke about the quirkless made her worried, she wasn't sure what it was but she sure as hell knew that she was quirkless and maybe indeed was going onto way too dangerous roads. The dangerous road was there, Kasey might play the same game as Hanako was, guessing and filling in things, where she might have made a mistake with information, the only reason why this would not be the worst mistake if she was really his sister, still not understand how he got a sister without her knowing. She gripped the tablet maybe harshly when Macabre said she was in danger. It was not all ape-like mutants out there. Making it out alive? "I-I" This was still a game but she was on the losing side. "Can I think about that?" This was her job, creating chaos, making the world worse, but why would a friend like Macabre protect someone only because she was linked to Gil? "Are you really his sister?" Maybe to her, even if Gil did not know yet, because she was afraid he did not understand, could she admit who she was. MADE BY VEL OF GS

The darkness of the pit, the void, the hole that she walked into engulfed her. Objects from future and past fell past her, while others seemed to float right on up. Was she falling, or simply existing in this place in time? Was she going down the hole, or was she falling upwards? Even with the answer, it wouldn't be clear to her. Nothing in this world was as simple as that. Nothing was black and white around Kasey. It was more than shades of gray. No, Kasey had the world in full color around her. It may have been beautiful, but the vibrant blood reds, and bone whites were enough to let you know you weren't in Kansas anymore. It wasn't Wonderland, it was a nightmare. But it was a domain Kasey gladly called her home. It was more than a spider's web. If the wasp-waisted girl found herself in a silk cocoon she could only hope that it was for protection, and not to be fed and devoured. But when you're facing death in the face, do you dare beg for mercy if you know your end is coming, or do you question death with the last of your flame? Hana did not seem to be a girl who would die as a burning ember did in the dark. No, she was daring. If she was in a pit of Kasey's nightmare world, she had nothing to lose by questioning her. Why would she? If she was going to die, she was already dead. Why not get the final scoop for the trip to hell? That, would be quite the read. She passed over the deal. The flow of information to process. She wanted to say no, it was instinctive, but something inside of her told her to think it over. And so Kasey repeated the thought. "Think it over. Don't take too long to decide." She would tell the girl, before being faced with her dying question. "When I was a child, I begun to hear voices." She would start her tale, without answering the girl's question. Perhaps there was no short one word answer like yes or no. Would Hana listen, or would she be driven away by the games? it wasn't like she was trapped, she could have left at any time. She stayed on her own choice. but why? Why did she allow herself to be a part of this game? "I thought nothing of it at first, but then I started to talk back to them. Some time later, I called out to the voice, asking to be strong for my sister." Kasey begun to trail off with her eyes, looking at the sides of the office, no longer looking at Hanako. "My quirk revealed itself, and my parents thought me to be a monster. They kicked me out, a child, away to never see her twin sister again." Kasey paused for a moment before looking back at the reporter, her left hand would raise, as if she were to hold a skull and give a speech. Any one would have expected her next words to have been to be, or not to be, but it was no time to joke around. "For two years I lived on the streets of Japan, wandering, feeding off scraps and leftovers I found in the dumpsters and garbage bins. I was a child, I didn't know where to go." She would say, her hand lowering to set onto the desk. A moment passed before she crossed her arms over her chest, speaking more. "That was when a man in a coat, a scientist came to offer me a place to stay, and food. It was a dream come true, but it wasn't long until I found myself being a lab rat to experiments." She would push the cuffs of her sleeves. Her skin soft, barren, but held a heavy amount of scarring. She was healed, but the years of torture remained, all of it visible. "It wasn't that long ago that I was freed from that life. I met a white haired man who cared for me, took me in. I didn't feel so alone. We weren't so different."She smiled, "So, to answer your question, no, I am not his sister." She would say with a small giggle only to fade into more words. "My name is Rena, and like him, I too have a spirit." ~ Word Count: 750 ~ [Kasey & Setsuna] || TrackerQuirks/Abilities: Spirit Harvest : C Iron Stomach : E | Out of Body Experience : F | Busy-ness License : D Regeneration : D |

at most I'm sleeping all these demons away If she thought that falling into the rabbit hole was bad, it only made it worse when she could not make any idea anymore of what was right and wrong, up or down, all she knew was that she was falling into something that she did not understand but tried her very best to understand. Suddenly she did not know if she wanted to be here and if she would end up in Wonderland, doors were opening but closing too fast for her to make a decision and it was very kind from Macabre to offer her a job but the way she played this game made her not entirely sure if that was a good decision to take, it made her afraid that she was falling into a trap that she should have seen coming. Because Macabre was good friends with G, meant she was safe or well that was what she had thought but at this point, she wasn't so sure. That job could maybe be safer than her own at this point, considering what she did with the article about Tetsuko, it only made more sense that not everyone seemed to be happy about her. She was maybe too deep into the setting of metropolitan to see her own safety as a problem, but she might see it later today or tomorrow morning, depending on what was happening and if she had a moment to sit down and consider it. "Of course not, it's very kind of you though." Maybe she should talk to G about it, what would he say, would he be okay with her being here, wait she was not a child. Which was exactly at the point that Macabre started telling about when she was a child and Hanako did not understand what this would have to do with her story but she listened none the less. Her sister? But if she was G's sister that meant there was another sister? It was only more confusing but she wrote the word down. She clenched her tablet, the story reminded her of G's, thinking he was a monster only because of a quirk. Maybe that's why she went to tell her about her childhood. Hanako's expression that used to be so neutral, fell, the idea that some person used a child as a lab rat made her feel horrified. She shivered, what kind of world were they living in? She wasn't his biological sister, he did not have a biological sister, she should have known considering that Haruuhi and Miku were his children, calling him dad that it made sense that a sister was not made by blood but picked. She still believed that the name Rena was a lie but she now understood what it meant. Goliath, she had not been fair about the spirit and her mind wanted to focus on Macabre in front of her, but considering her story, it made her feel horrible about how she acted again after Halloween, almost two months ago. She was lost, what would she have to write, what did Army of Bones want of her, "W-what kind of spirit?" She tried to keep the conversation going mostly because she did not know what to do and she did not want to fail. It could not be exactly the same as Goliath right? To make a hero out of this woman without a name. That sounded impossible when the world was a lie around her and yet the truth and Hanako could not decide which one was which. MADE BY VEL OF GS

Fear. It was something that surrounded the girl, but was never her tool of choice. She was feared, sometimes for good things, but always for bad things. She was a mysterious janitor. She was a murderer. She held a quirk that scared her own parents enough to toss out their offspring. "Something, that will not harm you." Kasey would say, reaching to her face. her fingers would press against the bone that covered her skin. Her own facial structure widening, waiting to be called upon. "If you are prepared to see, then I will allow you to meet him." She would say, and when permitted, she would pull her mask forward, only to have a second mold itself from the first, extending forward. She would pull the bone forward, only to have it point forward, into the shape of what looked like a dog's skull. But it would appear as if a skeleton was crawling from a portal that was her mask onto her desk, careful to not knock over pens or crumple papers.He was trained, and he was used to this sort of measure. A unique figure would lay upon the desk, his body light and soft, not dense enough to fight. It was not an act of power, but to show that he did in face exist. Black substances filled the gaps between his empty rib cage as well as other places between his bones. He would take the shape of a dog, or a larger wolf that was more bipedal, than native to his four feet. "We've met before, even if we did not exchange many words." he would say to her, careful to remain on the desk before moving. He was going to make sure not to scare the woman, unlike the green haired one. Unlike the first, he rather enjoyed her company. taking a seat on the desk, Kasey moved to the side, her face no longer colored with paints, but was pale and plain bone. The figure had her coloring on his chest. "His name is Setsuki. And unlike Gigi's Goliath, Setsuki isn't just summoned." Kasey would say, waving a hand to the creature between her and the reporter. "I always exist, all of the time. I am also able to speak, and do other things outside of her control." He would say. "But my existence, is perhaps better left out of your book."Rena and Setsuki. It was the names they were birthed to. But it was Kasey and Setsuna, that the world called them by. ~ Word Count: 433 ~ [Kasey & Setsuna] || TrackerQuirks/Abilities: Spirit Harvest : C Iron Stomach : E | Out of Body Experience : F | Busy-ness License : D Regeneration : D |

at most I'm sleeping all these demons away She had to ask, she had to get more information, to understand, it could not be that bad right? But the thing was that the moment Macabre said that the spirit would not harm her, she only felt more nerves freezing in place, thank god she was sitting else she might just show too much of her nerves. Did she walk into a trap? A spiderweb that she could not get out, a fly instead of something stronger and better, just a small thing that would never survive. Should she refuse and get up and leave while it was still possible. She did not know if she had to write this down, she wasn't sure what to write down, this wasn't about the use of a quirk this was an article to make her saint-like, right? Something amazing, she wasn't even sure if that was what Army of Bones wanted but it was a start. She nodded, she wasn't sure what to say or who to meet but if she was now over her fear of Goliath, whom she had never seen again after Halloween and after their fight. What a bad timing to think about that because it definitely did not make her any better or happier. Her blue eyes staring at the motions that Macabre made, not understanding and her brain not comprehending what was going on, what the hell, what was she doing, how did some quirks work? Sure as hell that was fascinating but not knowing what was going to happen and her brain going in circles if she was going to be missing for a long time or if everything was alright, definitely did not make it better. She shook a little, mostly her hands as she held the tablet with one hand and the other hand up to make notes but nothing was coming out as her eyes did not even have the time to stare at the screen, ultimately fascinated and freaking out at the same time. When he spoke, based on the voice she gave it a male gender in her head, she nodded, she realized, they had seen each other, she had thought it was a costume which fitted the theme of Pink Jackal later when she entered but it was her quirk. Even if it looked very scary, now that she realized she had seen him before, her shoulders dropped a little and she calmed down, okay, this was okay. This was going alright. Her eyes switched back to Macabre, listening, nodding and wanting to utter a "Nice to meet you." But the words got a bit lost in a high pitched sound and she was ashamed that she sounded as if she was scared. She turned her eyes back to Setsuki and nodded, looking at her screen and putting it on her knees. "Of course," Why was she still trembling? "It's really fascinating, how you two... work. I am not sure even if I can call it a quirk, would you consider it that you both share the same persona or completely different, aaaah I don't mean to offend, it's just my own curiousity for-for quirks." She looked at the tablet, because she did not have one, but she obviously did not add that. MADE BY VEL OF GS

"I'll answer that question for Gigi's girlfriend. The answer is that he's not my quirk." Kasey would say to her. "My quirk is healing. His is manipulation of my bones. It's quite unsettling, and was the reason I gave myself the name Macabre. Miss Horrors wasn't exactly heroic sounding." She would say, smiling, her hand reaching out to stroke her spirit, her creature, her partner. Like a dog, he seemed more at ease with her touch, laying down on the wooden desk staring at the woman, as if he knew something she didn't. And to put it lightly, he did know a lot more than she did about their circumstance. "For the sake of your paper, Rena is a Bone Quirk holder, just as Army of Bones is." He would say, waving his paw at her, as if telling her what to write. He was much different than Kasey, in more ways than one. "There's a few of them, but none seem to have a healing factor quite as strong as Rena. Together, the wounds I create are nothing to her, and my power is something that is unrivaled. Even by Thundershock." he would tell her, setting his head on the desk, one arm hanging over the side. He'd pause for a moment before taking his place onto the floor, jumping off of the desk and landing between his host, and Hanako. He would stroll slowly to the girl, as if she was his prey, but he did not pounce. "Goliath and I have crossed fangs before. I allowed myself to be broken, it wasn't our house after all, and we just wanted to protect him>" he would speak, stopping to sit not that far from the woman. An obedient pet telling all she needed. "Don't put that in the paper, or else you're just going to expose the identity he paid for." He would say. "Based on what we know, you were hired to interview us, not only to spill the secrets we have to our nemesis, but to bring attention to whatever evil that Army of Bones wants. So, you must decipher how much of us to tell to the public, and by default, those villains.
We are the owners of a nightclub outside of Tokyo that hires students and gives them benefits. We also hire quirkers with no where else to go. All of our employees have full medical and dental coverage under the Ketsujo Corperation. We were there when Semper Fi happened and we attempted to chase down The Painter who was reveled to be the center at some of the killings, rather than the military themselves." Setsuna spoke, grasping and summarizing the jist of their encounter. "Anything else, of a personal matter, I'm sure we can talk about at another time, Miss Mizuki. Under my birthname, or from behind this costume I'm wearing."~ Word Count: 500 ~ [Kasey & Setsuna] || TrackerQuirks/Abilities: Spirit Harvest : C Iron Stomach : E | Out of Body Experience : F | Busy-ness License : D Regeneration : D |

at most I'm sleeping all these demons away There was still a lot going on that made her confused but the way Setsuki said it made it a lot more understanding, Rena Setsuki, the name on the file. Hanako half expected that the name was still a fake but how would she be able to prove that was beyond and was actually not her task either, so she should stop caring so much about it. Her eyes switched between the two when Macabre explained or Rena explained that Setsuki wasn't her quirk, so how did that work? A manipulation, healing was her quirk, this went above her head, which was a shame and thank god she for once did not feel jealous, that would come a few days later when she would realize the possibilities. Just like Army of bones, her eyes went back to Setsuki, interesting, of course, with a lot of people around there tend to be quirks that do look like each other and the like but Hanako had no idea about all that and never had the pleasure to meet people who looked the same quirk wise, maybe she could meet army of bones at one point, to see the difference. She noted down what Setsuki said, only to remind herself, she had no idea how to throw this in her article, but that was a bridge she would be able to cross later, she liked to keep the information that she got anyway, it was best to be informed. She nodded every time she had to not write something in her paper, realizing too late that she did not correct them and simply hoped that they would assume she was just giving the notes to the right person, on the other hand, she did not care too much. Which was bad because she should care. She did not want G to be forced to give up his new identity and she stared at her notes and decided to delete that part all together again, even if it was herself who wrote it, she did not want to let it linger around somewhere. She would look at Setsuki now again and listen before writing it down at the end. He said it more clearly than Rena had done. When she dotted the last i, she looked up at Rena and gave her a small smile, "Yes, that would be lovely." She decided to stand up, there was a lot that she had to think about. "I will send you a message when Lady Scandal made the article. It might take a while I am afraid, she is rather busy but I will let you know and it would be nice to meet again, I really enjoyed yesterday." She decided that it was a best attempt to fix what she wanted to fix, "Thank you both for meeting me, it was a pleasure." She decided to let herself out in case it was necessary or else let Rena do so. She felt as if she was almost on the verge of getting a headache, too much to think about and to wonder. What about the villains at her job, what about the job that Rena offered her, it was very confusing all together. MADE BY VEL OF GS

Kasey would lift out her hand, as if to point at the woman, but with all of the fingers on her hand. It was not to call upon her, but of the creature between them. Setsuna would move towards Kasey, only to touch his head to her hand, bits of blood around her fingertips as her nails fused with him. He was not absorbed, but rather reshaped to a larger creature, one tall and familiar. Standing much taller than before, he was no longer what appeared to be a dog, but a large man. As he stood tall and barren, his unclothed body was quickly met with the sound of a drawer being opened. Kasey tossed a robe at him, and he would quickly cover himself. After doing so, he would make his way to the door. "Please, do not hesitate to call or stop by again, If you need anything downstairs, be a drink or snack, it will be covered." Setsuna would say, moving to open the door to allow her to leave. "It was our pleasure for having you." He would say, holding the door open for her. If she needed a taxi, again a ride would wait for her, if she wanted to use that service. If not, there was always a taxi just seconds away. It would be rude to force her hand upon her guest, she did want a bit of secrecy with her work. But Kasey already knew. G had already told her. Hanako was Lady Scandal. She, had passed the first test. ~ Word Count: 268 ~ [Kasey & Setsuna] || TrackerQuirks/Abilities: Spirit Harvest : C Iron Stomach : E | Out of Body Experience : F | Busy-ness License : D Regeneration : D |
