"Regardless of if you accept or not, we're gonna take back the number one spot either way!" The words linger in the air of Attack on Mango's living room. Silence falls over the band's four members, and their housemate. While Deena appears mildly curious, Ruby's face goes serious. The other three, however, show little reaction. "So." Ruby begins, her voice a low growl. "They want to challenge us huh?" To this, Nar offers a shrug. "It was gonna happen eventually." Juno nods in agreement, f...

Within Vanhoover's "Cliff Face" rock club, hundreds of eager club goers stand in near complete darkness. A camera crew stands near the back of the crowd, broadcasting to Vanhoover's local Entertainment TV station/streaming channel. Cliff Face is the premier rock club in the city, and only one band is worthy to grace it's stage. Darkness is illuminated by a sudden gout of flame. The flame slowly grows to engulf the entirety of the backdrop of the stage. 5 silhouettes stand with the flame behi...

A dank, moldy smell permeates the stone halls of a dungeon, long since forgotten. Darkness surrounds from all sides, held off only by the light of torches, moving through the dark passages. The only sounds heard in this dungeon beyond the roar of flaming torches, are footsteps, and armor clanking. Four brave adventurers delve deeper, and deeper into this dungeon. They seek an ancient text. One which could be used to destroy the evil that plagues this land. At their head walks a female barbar...

Cheesy, upbeat Italian music plays at a fairly quiet volume over the speakers inside a mid-sized pizzeria. Generic 'Italian' themed decor lines the walls painted to look like a stone balcony overlooking the sea. Though there are plenty of seats, and it's currently dinnertime, the pizzeria is occupied only by staff, and one group sitting at a corner booth at the back. Around the circular booth sits the members of Attack on Mango, alongside their plus one, Deena. Arrayed on the table in front o...

Things have been pretty hectic for the Yakushi family ever since Asuka returned. Many people have had questions, but none of the 4 people involved in her return are willing to give any concrete answers. Asuka won't talk about her experience at all, which her father is adamant everyone respects. Nar will only give small snippets on answers that usually just leave more questions, Ruby is following Asuka's example, and not talking. Then there's their new friend, Deena. When she's asked questions, s...

"Life rarely turns out exactly the way we want it to. For most, navigating the unexpected is simply a part of life. Though it is easier for some, than others. The man who's heart was once full of joy, and cheer, was crushed by the departure of his close cousin. Though he tried his best to live a happy life without her presence, it had become far more difficult. As time went on, his remaining friends were pulled away from him. Some by choice, others by circumstances. All the things that once b...

There once lived a man, full of spirit, and cheer. Though raised by parents who cared very little, he found comfort in the company of his friends. In particular, he grew close with his cousins, whom he regarded as sisters. As the man grew up, he declared his intent to combat the darkness of the world with kindness, and joy. ...

BGM (https://youtu.be/wgqmVp4rJeE?si=U85TaIxEMX4IKgZK) Long ago, a family bore their first child. A prospect of which the new parents had excitedly prepared for many years in advance. However, when their child was born unto them, excitement, and joy, turned to resentment, and fear. ...

The last time Asuka stopped for a rest, she happened to find her way into an empty apartment. For whatever reason, only one of the apartments in the block had any power, but Asuka wasn't complaining. She's gotten lucky, and managed to find a charger that fit the tablet she'd found on the dead explorer, and she'd hooked it up to charge while she slept. Now that Asuka was awake, and had some food in her stomach, it was time to open up that tablet, and see if she could get inside. To her surpris...

The child cries, but nobody hears. The child is hungry. Mother said dinner would be ready a long time ago. ...

12 PM, Hearths Warming Eve, 2023, Yakushi Residence, Ponyville. Four young adults approach the house from a tour van parked in the driveway. 3 carry a significant amount of gifts, and food, while one carries a single gift bag, and plate of cookies. Of course, these four young adults are the members of Attack on Mango (plus one past member.) As the group approaches the front door, Ruby slows, and falls behind the rest of the group. "Guys." The others stop, and turn to listen. "Are you rea...
