Have any thoughts on the way I play Akechi Megumi (maiden name Takani Megumi), your resident foxy physician from Rurouni Kenshin? Please do not hesitate to post your comments, suggestions, questions, reactions, and everything in between here. (Of course, all comments shall be screened to protect your privacy.)

Thank you; I'd love to hear from you.

HMD time! ♥ Please be gentle on me? ♥

My beloved husband has left the City, and I know where he has gone. The red thread of fate has led me to him through worlds, and now . . .

It is time for me to follow him home.

Everyone . . . thank you for making my stay here in the City wonderful. I will treasure every memory.

Thank you, everyone. Now, it's time for me to be with Mitsuhide. ♥

Sayonara.

Xing-ke-san, the results of your diagnostic exams have come in. I would like a word with you.

[hospital filter / unhackable]

I would like to refer a case to a healer, if that is possible . . . I am afraid I am faced with something that is out of my scope, and I would very much like to see my patient in good hands.

I hope that everyone is alright after that last curse?

What happened to the network?

Everyone? Can anyone read this?

Mitsuhide? Anata, are you alright?

Is everyone safe and alright?

Pasta sauce.

I can't believe it.

At least none of the things that I stored for the supposed volcanic eruption will go to waste.

And, well, it could be worse. I'm relieved that everyone is safe. And I hope that everyone remains safe as well. I hope that no one actually ate the marinara sauce? That's unhygienic, you know. Any gastrointestinal diseases afterwards . . . well, better out than in. Just slowly drink some oral rehydration solution—that's eight teaspoons of sugar, one teaspoon of salt, in one liter of water—during the period that you are experiencing diarrhea, and after the periods of vomiting, if you can manage to keep it down. If you can manage it, eat bananas, rice, apples, and/or toast. Some caffeine-free tea will be good to drink as well. If you cannot ingest anything, go to the hospital for possible intravenous rehydration and the proper prescribed antibiotics.

Hmph. We were all played for fools. But like I said . . . it could be worse.

Everyone, I’m certain it has come to your attention that there is a volcano that has risen in the forest. I advise everyone to take the necessary precautions with regards to the impending natural disaster that the City has deemed to mete upon us.

Find shelter away from the volcano, and stock up on necessary supplies—food and water, clothing, medications, particulate masks and goggles, lighting, toiletries, and all other basic necessities.

First, a curse that changes the way we speak. All those cats and dogs and badgers! Next, one that changes our entire persons based on decisions made in the past. Now, a curse that changes our age.

I wonder how many more facets of our being will be altered within the next few days . . .

Hmm.

Well, we have had this curse before, though I am older today than I was then. To be in my . . . hmm . . . early 40’s . . . doesn’t feel that different, truth be told. I am still as limber and feisty as ever! Ne, Mitsuhide~? ♥ Ohohohoho~!

And white hair is not that upsetting, after all!

How fares everyone today?

[The communicator clicks on, and the sound of wooden geta clomping on the floor can be heard.]

[When Megumi speaks, she sounds breathless from running.]

Has anyone seen my husband? He's in Shinto priest robes, and he answers to the name of Tenkai!

I didn't mean to scare him off!—

Mitsuhide—Tenkai-sama, come back!

[A thud, and the communicator clicks off.]

( Firefox Crash )



. . . What exactly is Firefox?

And how did this get here?

( [private to self, viewable to Mitsuhide / unhackable] )



Being handcuffed to my Mitsuhide is so—mmm!—exciting!

Ohohohoho~!

This will be more challenging than the use of a collar, ne? Oh, Mitsuhide, I’m so excited~! ♥

I hope that the rest of you are enjoying the day, because I most definitely am with my husband~! ♥ Ohohohoho!

Oh, what a curse my sex has left upon me! How can womanhood be the harbinger of thwarted ambitions and broken hopes? Such a ravage of fate that I cannot pursue my dream—the study of medicine—simply because I am a woman!

Already, I must bear the scornful truth that women cannot inherit property from their fathers, but worse yet is that we cannot inherit our fathers’ titles and their professions! Am I not capable of being a surgeon or a physician simply because I was born a woman?

Ah, heart, I would still you from dreaming of such things, but I cannot deem you the fiend in this ordeal! Such woes the quagmire of society has left upon those of my gender!



[ooc; bodice ripper set in England in the early 1800’s! Think Jane Austen except with amazingly grandiose purple prose! ♥]

So, we are now back to the usual summer weather. I hope that no one fell ill?—



[accidental voice post]

♫ A whole new world!
A dazzling place I never knew!
But when I'm way up here,
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you!

Unbelievable sights—
Indescribable feeling—
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky!

A whole new world!
A hundred thousand things to see!
I'm like a shooting star;
I've come so far;
I can't go back to where I used to be!

A whole new world!
Every turn a surprise!
Every moment red-letter!
I'll chase them anywhere;
There's time to spare;
Let me share this whole new world with you . . .

A whole new world . . .
That's where we'll be . . .
A wondrous place . . .
For you and me! ♫

[/voice post]



. . . Another curse, I see! That was a lovely song, ne? ♥

Snow in the middle of the summer?

Somehow, it’s not surprising, seeing as the City gave us a few days of summer during the previous winter . . .

Everyone, please be certain to wear appropriate clothing today, and to keep yourselves warm, ne? I also hope that the sudden change in climate does not cause any illnesses. Be certain to quickly change out of damp clothes, and to have warm baths immediately after exposure to the elements.

However, at the same time, today is a lovely day! Do enjoy this prelude to winter—the snowfall is very beautiful! ♥



[private to Mitsuhide / unhackable]

Anata, how is the snow over there? Are you keeping warm? ♥

[/private]

Five Foods I Like:
1. Tofu
2. Sweet red azuki beans
3. Snow cones
4. Strawberries and cream
5. Ice cream and sorbet
6. Chocolate (adding a sixth one because I cannot resist~)

Five Things I Want to Do in the City:
1. Watch a play with Mitsuhide
2. Sell my old kimono and donate the money to the orphanage
3. Research on more medical and surgical innovations that can be applied to my practice
4. Look at all the flower varieties that I can find in the City
5. Distract Mitsuhide from patrol by sending him naughty messages over the communicator~



( For Mitsuhide's eyes only~! ♥ )



There is a curse today, obviously~!



[ooc; strike private and unhackable to Mitsuhide! ♥]

Mishima Kazuya, how dare you make us all pay for the crimes of one Takeda Kanryu? My parents did not deserve to die because of his crimes against you!

Father, mother, I know you had meant to leave G Corporation because both of you did not approve of the bioethical principles it had defied in the course of its existence . . . and to have been caught in the war that was waged against it because of its said crimes . . .

Mishima Kazuya, Takeda Kanryu, I will have my revenge against both of you in the Iron Fist Tournament—

The Tekken!


Now, Akechi Mitsuhide—

—What trickery is this? Where are we? The woods and the lake are gone!



[ooc; so, for today, she and Mitsuhide have been Tekkenversed. XD She is wearing a pink nurse uniform, complete with the cap, the poofy sleeves, and gartered stockings. Yes, that is her uniform in the G Corporation. Hurhur. Her round with Mitsuhide was supposed to be at a wooded area by a lake, but all she sees now is her "opponent," the City square, and the fountain. XD And, as additional information because I am dorky, her martial art style is Changquan. X3]

[When Megumi’s voice comes on, she sounds disgusted and rather ill to her stomach.]

I have never tried a “pizza” before, though I have heard of it. I hear that it is supposed to be delicious.

However, a pizza with oyster, lamb, and honey mustard sauce as dressing?

Whomsoever sent this to Mitsuhide and I . . .

[A small, irked sound.]

. . . has poor taste in toppings.

There seems to be a festival of sorts in Xanadu . . . What is the occasion?

Mmm . . . Mitsuhide~! Shall we go and have a look~? ♥

Is anyone else planning to see it?

[private to self, viewable to Mitsuhide and to the Kenshin-gumi / unhackable]

Corruption and the lust for power . . .

We have seen enough of that firsthand. Enough is enough. People do not need this anymore.

[/private]



Is everyone safe and back to normal?

—What's going on outside?

Ah—

One thing after another . . .

I think it might be best to stay indoors . . .

If anyone needs my medical assistance, do not hesitate to contact me, but please . . . as much as possible, stay out of harm's way in the first place!

I'm staying inside, if I can help it! Those things are just . . . frightening . . .



[ooc; epic fear of animals and creatures is a go!
Strike heard only by Mitsuhide, since she covered the mic for it! ♥]

[A thud.]

What—what is this? Mitsuhide, have you seen the thing that's in the living room—

[A brief moment of silence. Suddenly . . .]

[A slow rustling, then the sound of what seems to be soft, insane cackling, gradually increasing in volume.]

[A quick, sharp intake of breath, followed by frantic fumbling, and a shriek of shock and terror.]
