Kenji Murakami

(Silha) -Dad, can I go back to Chronos now? I'm bored, and everyone on the island is sleeping.- -I suppose you can return to the mainland, but I want you to stay inside. No matter how bored you might get,- Dad said sternly. -Go to the Pillars of Heaven; Lord Shin should be able to keep you safe, my son.- -Okay, Dad,- he said, nodding. -Thanks!- -Kenji.- -What is it, Dad?- he asked, opening his eyes just as he was about to teleport. -If you misbehave again, I'm going to teleport you back to Silha myself.- -Okay, Dad,- he said, biting his lip. Dad had sounded really mad. Teleporting off the island where Archanfel was sleeping, Kenji wondered what Mr. Shin would say when he got there. Or if Dad was going to tell him about what he'd said.

(Silha) Dad had left awhile ago, and Archanfel had gone to sleep just half a day ago, and now he was starting to get bored. Even playing with the mermaids was starting to get boring. He was going to ask Dad if he could leave soon, but first he was gonna take a nap.

Yeah; it took me a bit of doing to find her, but I'm glad I did.

I don't think you did, either.

Here it is; I think it'll do.

Sketch artist has been found and commissioned; will be starting work soon. Horay!

(Silha) He and Archanfel had been playing Hide and Seek for awhile, but Archanfel always managed to find him, so that had gotten boring. He'd just been swimming with the mermaids, and now he was lying on the edge of the lake while he waited to dry off. Maybe he'd even take a nap, too...

Well, that's good to know. Still, I hope you get some money soon.

I hope you find work soon, Ryuki. I don't like to see my friends unhappy; it makes me sad.

I think that could work out; it'd definately be interesting to see what would happen when those two meet.

That's good to know. I think it would be pretty interesting if Apollyon, seeing the vortex, decided to come through. Given that he curb-stomped Caerleon by mimicking his powers, I kind of wonder what any of the Marvels could do against him.

That was a rather satisfying chapter, though I think Alkanphel would have transformed by now. He's not so arrogant that he would leave himself so vulnerable by staying in human form. He's not Guyot, after all. By the way, are you planning to bring Guyot, Apolloyon, or Valkuria into this story?

I just bought volume 26 from HLJ; it's kind of cool knowing that it'll be coming soon and I can actually hold it in my hands. Still not so much progress on the sketch artist front, though. he hasn't answered my second note; he might just be busy, though.

How's the writing going?

I have my fingers crossed, I have my toes crossed, and I even have my eyes crossed. Free geek-points if you spotted the reference.

I think I have a sketch artist lined up; give me a couple more days to finalize this. I don't want to jinx it, but I have a good feeling about this.

I definately like it.

I don't know about taking on a Guyver, but you could probably do some decent damage to Zoanoids with this: Or, with a few modifications, this thing:

Dad had said that he could come back into the temple, and he'd seemed to really like the flowers he'd given him, so Kenji was happy. Sitting back down on his bed next to Archanfel's, Kenji waited. "There's been some reports of odd activity at Chronos," Dad said. "Yes, Hamilcar informed me of that," Archanfel said, nodding. "Go and investigate, Masaki. Kenji and I will be fine here." He nodded too, even though he didn't really want to be separated from his dad. At least Archanfel was awake now.

I want to go to bed. I should be going to bed. WHY IN THE NAME OF BLARG AM I CLEARING OUT OLD FILE FOLDERS?!

My search for a sketch artist doesn't seem to be going so well at the moment; still, I'm reasonably sure I'll find something eventually.

Well, that really depends on them knowing the location of Silha. He'd decided to pick some flowers; both since he hoped that giving them to his dad would get Dad to stop being so mad at him, and because he could do it without going out of the courtyard of Archanfel's temple. He knew Dad would be really mad at him if he did that.

Dad and Archanfel had told him to go out into the temple's courtyard, while they talked about grownup things. Dad had told him to stay in the courtyard until he came out to get him, or else when he got back into the temple he was going to have to sit in a corner. Since Dad still seemed kind of mad at him, Kenji was going to stay in the courtyard like he said. He really didn't want to sit in the corner on the hard, stone floor.

How do you think those guys would react to Kenji? He's something of a member of the Chronos elite - being a Zoalord and all - but he mostly serves as an errand boy and a sort of... Council mascot, I guess.

Shivering as he felt the weird energies from what his dad had said was a big fight, Kenji tried not to think about what was going on there. Mr. Kajima had been kind of nice to him, but then he went and tried to get Mr. Koujin to kill him. Kenji didn't know what to think. -Calm yourself, my child,- Archanfel said, reaching over to put his hand on his head; he always felt better when Archanfel did that. -Even if this battle does come to involve us, Masaki and I will do our utmost to ensure that you remain safe.- -I know. It's just... I'm scared.-
