View MoreFor once, the summer weather has decided to be pleasant, and not be as hot, and humid as Tartarus' armpit. With this once in a lifetime opportunity, the residents of Haybale street have all come out for an impromptu block party. Various outdoor activities have been set up all across the street, and the many lawns that sit alongside it. Slip and slides, inflatable pools, lawn darts (the safe ones), can jam, football, soccer, and practically any other summer lawn activity you can think of.
Food, and drinks have been brought out from almost every house. Soda, water, capri sun, chips, fruit, hotdogs, hayburgers, and more are passed out freely. Kisho Yakushi even has a little Takoyaki stand set up outside his house, with children crowding around to try some! A few yards down, Nar's daughter, Cookie plays in a pool with some newfound friends!
Outside Nar's house, the original four members of Attack on Mango finish their set-up, and get into position in the driveway. They've set up their equipment, and finished their sound checks. After all, what's a block party without music? At the front of the band, Roy looks back, heaving a sigh. Is it just Asuka, or are his eyes beginning to water? "Man." Toy huffs, shoulders slumping. "Feels just like old times." Nar, and Juno smile, and nod. Asuka rolls her eyes. "Oh shut up, and get ready to play, dork." Roy opens his mouth to speak, but the clack of drumstick slamming together silences him. Then, Asuka's voice rings out through the speakers next to the band. "We are Attack on Mango!" She gives a quick count in, then Roy begins to strum.

The moon rests high above their heads in the sky. Three tents have been set up a little ways from the campfire, where sleeping bags wait for the group when they finally retire for the night. Asuka doesn’t quite understand why Nar suggested a camping trip like this only a day after he returned from his search and rescue expedition, but she doubts he’ll give her a straight answer.
(https://youtu.be/)?si=T0WxEPU-eYr4z1yi)
Across the campfire from Asuka, Roy strums his guitar, singing a song to his friends. Juno sits beside him, sipping on a can of beer, occasionally singing along. Sat next to Asuka, Nar gently strokes a sleeping Cookie’s hair as her head rests in his lap. Asuka can’t help but smile at the sight. Not only is it cute as hell, but she’s also relieved to see her brother so calm, and happy. When he’d returned from his expedition, he’d had a look in his eyes. One Asuka has seen too many times. One of deep pain, and doubt. She can guess his expedition didn’t go well.
After Roy finishes up his song, Nar gently picks up Cookie to tuck her into her sleeping bag in their tent. Then, he returns to the campfire, where he reaches into a cooler to remove a hard lemonade from within. Asuka’s jaw drops at this. Juno whistles. “You know that’s hard lemonade, right?” Nar nods. “I figure for just tonight, I might drink a little.” Roy laughs. “Never seen you drunk before! Looking forward to it!” Asuka grins. “You won’t be saying that when he had you locked in a death grip hug.” The group’s laughter fills the woods, as Roy picks up his guitar to start another song. #rp

A secondary big bad was defeated, and a city was saved from certain destruction. All was well, until they party returned to their base. Henry Buckets, the unwilling town guard husband of Asuka's Orc Barbarian, was murdered while the party was out. Just another knife in the chest for the party from the BBEG.
Asuka cannot. WILL NOT, forgive her brother for this. He might just be the most sadistic, maniacal DM she's ever played with. Which, admittedly, isn't saying much, as he's the ONLY DM she's ever played anything more than a one shot with. #rp

So far, she's not needed to work longer than one 12 hour shift. The handful of calls she's responded to have been fairly tame compared to some of the ones she'd responded to in Vanhoover. Well... Except for the one from Tuesday with the farmer, and his tractor. That was... Well, very stupid for one, but very gruesome too. At least he'll live.
Asuka sits with her driver in their station, sharing stories about their time in EMS. "So, what's the worst call you've responded to here?" Asuka asks her partner, taking a sip from a water bottle. "Easily when we had to take Old Man Horseshoe into Hospice." The driver responds. "Oh? Was it like, really sad?" Asuka raises an eyebrow. Her driver grimaces, shaking his head. "Bodily fluids. Everywhere." Asuka shudders. She can practically smell the stench. "What about you?" The driver asks, before Asuka can REALLY dwell on it. "Oh Solaris, where do I start?"
20 minutes later, Asuka's driver is VERY thankful that they've gotten a call. Asuka was recalling so many morbid, gruesome, and gut wrenching stories with such a casual tone that it was really starting to freak him out. As the two pile into their ambulance, he makes a comment to her. "Remind me never to ask you about your past experiences in EMS again." Asuka simply nods. "You got it." #rp

View MoreIf it wasn't for the bottle of beer in her hand, Asuka would have sworn she was back in 2015. All four of the founding members of Attack on Mango sit around a table on a balcony inside of the "Rabble's Gully" rock club. When Nar found out Roy was in town, he suggested the band get together to visit a rock club, just like they used to. With nothing better to do for the night, they all agreed.
With a while before the first band is ready, the four converse. Roy takes a swing of his beer, then lifts one finger off of the bottle to point at Nar. "Hey Nar. How come you're the only one not drinking? Is it a moral high ground thing? Or are you just a pussy?" In response, Asuka simply shakes her head. "You wouldn't want to be around drunk Nar. Trust me." Roy raises any eyebrow at this. "Why? He get violent or something?" Juno shakes his head this time. "Nope. He's a hugger." Nar simply smiles, lifting his can of soda up in a toast before taking a sip.
As the guys begin to converse about some dork stuff Asuka could care less about, she turns to you, motioning with her head towards the band setting up on stage. "So what do you think? Do they rock? Or suck?" #rp

View MoreAsuka has started hearing what she thinks is a voice in her house's guest bedroom in the late hours of the night. Every time she goes to investigate though, the voice stops as soon as she puts her hand on the doorknob. She has yet to find any mundane source of the voice, and assumes it is either the spirit of a past resident, or a patient who died under her care, come back to haunt her.
She has named the voice "Stephen", and has already texted her sister to let her know her room will be haunted when she finally moves in. #rp

She always found herself crying every time she had to say goodbye to friends or family if she knew she wouldn't see them again for a while. Even if that was just a few weeks. Yet now, as all of her friends from Vanhoover crowd inside Stinkin' Steve's for a sending off party for Attack on Mango, she doesn't so much as feel a twinge in her chest.
Over near the bar, Steve's sobbing cuts above the conversation, and music. He clutches Nar tightly in a hug, sobbing freely into his shoulder. "I'm gonna miss you, nephew!" The older man sniffs, then stands to wipe his nose with a napkin from the bar. Nar reaches a hand out to pat Steve on the shoulder. "Aww c'mon Steve! I'm not dying! We'll come back to visit every now and then! Promise!" Nar offers a smile, and gives Steve's shoulder a light shake, which sends the older man into another fit of sobbing.
Sat in a booth, Mandy, and Juno lean into each other as they enjoy each other's company for the last time in what could be weeks, if not months. As Mandy sits, her head laying on Juno's shoulder, they talk with the members of Dragonautica about their plans for the future. Dragonautica hopes to reach the national charts one day, and Juno eagerly encourages them to follow that dream. He knows they have the talent for it.
At the bar, Cookie listens intently as Asuka's old ambulance driver, Frank, tells her (much toned down) stories about her auntie. She eats up every word, too enraptured to notice anything else going on around her.
All around Asuka is a mixture of emotions. Happiness, excitement, and sadness. All in equal measure. Asuka finds herself spending her time with the girls of the band. Ruby, Scrappy, Deena, and a few other girl friends. Off in the distance, a glass of beer is raised into the air, and Artuo's voice calls above the noise. "A toast! To our friend's continued happiness, and health!" (Almost) Every glass in the bar shoots into the air with a "Cheers!" from every voice. Then, they all tip their glasses back, and the noise begins anew.
Hours later, after the sun has set, and almost every adult in the bar has had more than their fair share of alcohol, it's time to say goodbye. Asuka, Nar, Juno, and Cookie all stand near the entrance to the bar as their friends file past to say goodbye individually. Artuo laments the loss of his favorite customers. Mandy tells Juno to be sure to call her every day, and Steeltrap practically threatens Nar if he doesn't come back to visit every so often.
Then, after everyone else has left, but Steve, Ruby finally comes up to say her goodbyes. She wishes them all good luck, makes a few jokes with Nar, then finally, reaches Asuka. There are no words exchanged. Ruby simply leans in, presses her lips to Asuka's, and holds it for a moment. Asuka almost reaches up to grab Ruby, and pull her in. Before she thinks to do so, Ruby breaks the kiss. She looks as though she wants to say something, but opts not to. Instead, she winks at Asuka, then turns to leave. Asuka curses herself internally for not trying to stop her. All this romantic tension they've been building up, and neither of them had the guts to act on it!
At the end of the night, Nar hefts a tired Cookie to his chest, where she promptly falls asleep. Then, he, Asuka, and Juno begin their walk back to their house for the last night's sleep they'll get in it. Tomorrow, a new chapter begins in their lives. #rp

Garlic bread? Well, fusion cuisine is a thing, and nobody is complaining. While everyone else eats their food with forks, Asuka, and Nar have decided to show off their multi-cultural upbringing by using chopsticks. Nar even tries to use it to pick up pieces of garlic bread. He's failed every time.
Throughout the dinner, Asuka notices that her brother is a lot more fidgety than usual. Messing with the buttons on his shirt occasionally, swirling his noodles in his soup, flipping his garlic bread in his hands. She considers asking him what's wrong, but doesn't want to risk embarrassing him in front of the others. Instead, she decides to ask him about it in private after dinner.
A ways through dinner, during a lull in conversation, Nar sets down his chopsticks, and takes a deep breath. Asuka turns to face him, but the others don't seem to notice. "Hey, guys?" That gets their attention. Now, all eyes are on Nar. He lets out a breath before speaking again. His voice full of uncertainty. "I-... I've been thinking about moving back to Ponyville." The table goes silent. Thankfully, not for long. Nar answers the question everyone is thinking before it's said. "Cookie's gonna be 5 in July, and she's gonna start Kindergarten this year! I want her to go to a school where she'll be living close to her friends! I want her to have the kind of childhood I had! One where she goes to her grandparents every few weekends! Where she can play, and explore in the fields around the town! I want her to grow up somewhere she'll know everyone." Nar's tone is passionate, but slightly shaky. This is not a decision he's made lightly.
Suddenly, Juno practically falls onto him, arm draped over his shoulder. "Sounds like a great idea to me!" Asuka nods, then joins in with "Yeah. Our music career is over anyway. About time one of us settled down." Across from Asuka, Deena gives Nar a warm smile. "That's a wonderful sentiment, Nar. I wholeheartedly agree." With all the support, Nar's mood appears to lighten significantly. He lets out a relieved sigh. "Thanks guys. I was kind of afraid you guys would be mad at me for wanting to leave." Juno jostles his best friend a bit. "We could always just move back with you if you get lonely!" Juno is joking, but the idea seems to strike a chord with Asuka. "Actually? Why not? It's not like money's an issue, and I've kind of been missing Ponyville too." Then, Nar chuckles, and adds "Plus, Spins lives there, so she won't have to nearly freeze to death when she wants to visit." Everyone at the table lets out a laugh.
After dinner, plans are laid out. Nar, Cookie, Asuka, and Juno will be moving back to Ponyville. Deena wishes to stay in Vanhoover to run her flower shop, but she doesn't need a whole house to herself. They'll give the house to Mandy Fullbright's charity so they can use it to help those less fortunate, and buy Deena her own apartment near her store. Asuka plans to try to get her sister to move in with her, and Juno plans to find himself an apartment. Nar will buy his own house with Cookie.
That night, everyone goes to bed excited for the changes to come. #rp

After a night out with Ruby, and Scrappy the night before, she's currently trying to lounge off a minor headache. To her left, her mother, and niece play in the sand together. Deena appears to be observing some of the local flora near the edge of the beach, and to her right, Ruby is trying to relax while being lavished with attention by at least half a dozen other beach goers. Asuka does feel kind of bad for her. This whole trip, Ruby has clearly been trying to get close to Asuka, but when they're out in public, she's always swarmed with attention. Back at the beach house, they're both usually too tired to even do anything but nap, eat, or sleep either.
So, Asuka lounges on her towel, alone. Doing her best impression of a vampire by trying to stay out of the sun as much as possible. Now... If only she could do something about his headache.
