Shiki and Josh *both* have priorities. And those priorities don't include the pig Noise.
“You might want to try some conditioner,” Joshua said, his voice partially muffled by her hand. “I would recommend the Sephi Genesis brand. Their Silver Luster line does wonders for thin hair like yours.” “Isn’t that brand like ten thousand yen?” Shiki asked, biting back her intrigue. She’d always wanted to try that brand, if only she had the money for it. “Well, if you want something cheaper, you might try the Marlux brand instead. I’m sure Neku would be intrigued by the rosy scent.” Shiki flushed, her hand drawing away from the tome on instinct. “H-he would? I mean—I’ve heard good things about that brand, too…” A sinister grin rested on Joshua’s face. “Maybe I should give it a try as well. It might be fun to test that theory.”

I don't think I shared this, but working on the witch AU again, and... Shiki has priorities.
“They just keep coming,” Shiki said, tome in hand. Joshua had promised he’d helped them all in some sort of group capacity, but looking at it now, she only saw her own face reflecting back at her. “Joshua?” Wait, was that really how her hair looked today? And she left the atelier like that?! No no no, this wouldn’t do. She brushed her fingers through her brunette locks, hurrying to straighten it out, but they snagged on a tangle. “Ugh, come on—don’t be like this…”

Finally caught Nagi's section up to Beat's section in the witch AU... kinda, anyway?? It's complicated 😅 But moving on to Rhyme's section next~ And as always, a little peek at what I worked on today~
That wouldn’t do. Nagi charged her psych and slashed again, but her sword only bounced off. Could this pig truly be impervious to all attacks? Nagi let out a whimper as she backed into another pig, tripping over its round form and falling on her butt and knocking her glasses askew. This was it—the end for her. She was about to meet her doom from the cloven hooves of— Suddenly, a strange bubble of liquid formed over her. Nagi instinctively held her breath as it rippled overhead. Was this a ploy of the pig’s? Would this dastardly trap drown her? Though try as it might, the pig couldn’t get through. It beat its head against the water, then huffed, then puffed. But it couldn’t blow this barrier down.

As a heads up, the next chapter of the witch AU might take a little bit to finish, but that's because I'm writing at least three chapters simultaneously. I've never done something quite like this before, but I'm hoping it'll pay off in the end~

But for now, have a Nagi excerpt >.>~
It hadn’t been that long since Nagi had lost sight of her companions in this maze of pork madness. While Lord Rindo and his friend had headed up towards Cat Street, she’d chosen to follow Lord Minamimoto, who she thought had passed through Spain Hill. As she emerged by Parco with no sign of the math witch, though, she suddenly realized that she had ended up alone against the might of a thousand swine. But unlike in Volume 1, chapter 17 of Elegant Strategy, no Tomonami would show up to save the main heroine from the horde of goblins.

Working on the next chapter of the witch AU, and... well, this happened.
“Hell yeah! I’ve got this in the bag, yo!” “Tell me, is your head just made of empty muscle?” Beat almost dropped his sword, yanking his head around to figure out where the hell Priss’ voice came from. A glint of light caught his eyes, and Beat moved to slash—before realizing his own tome had taken to flight on its own accord. Though with Priss’ smug mug on it, maybe slashing it wouldn’t be that huge a setback. “The hell’s your problem, yo?” he growled instead. “I jus’ got you a buncha pigs!” “Do you honestly believe every pig out here is built the same? Those weaklings you just mowed down have so little Soul that you might as well feed me air in a can.” “You mean that stuff they got at Modi? It ain’t that bad.” Joshua’s eyebrow twitched. “Please tell me you’re not serious.” “Sure I am. I can getcha some after this.” “You know, Beat. I’m impressed. You continue to hit new lows.” “Thanks, yo!” He turned his attention past the tome as more pigs ambled into the plaza. All the same dull gold as the ones he’d just taken out. “So what, should I not be fighting these things?”

The World Ends With Witches
Chapter 92: Pig Invasion

Oink. Oink oink oink.

#twewy #ntwewy #neshiki #tweww
Excerpt from The World Ends with Witches with Neku on the right side in his Halloween butler outfit, fixing his right glove. Chapter 92: Pig Invasion The Pig symbols were everywhere. They zipped around the city before releasing, the plump Noise inciting yelps from unsuspecting civilians. “What the hell happened, yo?” Beat whispered next to him, and Rhyme poked her head under his arm to see better. “They’re all coming out at once, almost like they’ve been summoned by something…” “Summoned?” Neku’s gaze fell on the doll in Shiki’s arms. She noticed his look and immediately waved a hand. “D-don’t look at Mr. Oinkers like that! He didn’t do this!”

Josh just never knows when to stop.

Anyway, working on the witch AU chapter~ ...but I wasn't sure about showing off what's after this part yet, so I decided to share Josh being dumb instead :D' Though now, it's about time to have some fun...~
“You could make this easier,” Neku challenged. “You have enough power now, don’t you? Make me a way back to Shiki’s, and we’ll call it even.” “Leaving so soon? You haven’t even fluffed my pillows yet.” If he wanted his pillows fluffed, then fine—Neku picked one up and stuffed it right in Josh’s face. He let out a muffled response as Shiraha fled the room, too much excitement for her delicate body. Pushing the pillow away, Josh agitated Neku further by commenting, “Why Neku, I didn’t know you were into that sort of thing.” Neku rolled his eyes. “I’m going to feed your rabbit. You better make me a way back by the time I’m done, or I’m not bringing you dinner.”

No Party Like Fantasy Party

What was supposed to be a double date turned into a gaming party: Shoka vs. Rindo vs. Neku vs. Shiki! With Vivi as her chosen character, Shoka's out for blood in this digital board game.

#Rindoka #twewy #RindokaWeek2025
An excerpt from the fanfic No Party Like Fantasy Party. Rindo and Shoka are on either side. Excerpt: Speaking of items, she still had a Shinra Phone to use on a certain lucky boy. “Hope you’re ready, Rindykins.” “Wait, what?” He balked as sweet, innocent little Vivi called the dangerous corporation. Only it wouldn’t be Shinra employees coming to say hi—but any villain in the series. They all waited with baited breath as the screen faded to black. Within seconds, One-Winged Angel began playing. “ Really?! ” Rindo exclaimed as Sephiroth descended from on high before Auron. Shoka couldn’t hold it in. She burst out into laughter, doubling over against Rindo’s arm.

My final Fantasy Party board that I made for my day 6 Rindoka fic~ I’ll be posting the story for tomorrow~
Fantasy Party: Gold Saucer board It shows a top-down version of a board inspired by the Gold Saucer in FF7. The main map is on the left, while maps for the six main Squares are on the right. There are notes for the different tunnels and where they lead, as well as the entrances and exits for each Square. The board is also filled with small icons to indicate what each space is for or show which shopkeeper is where.

Netherworlds & Noise
Chapter 1: Flirting with Danger

Welcome to Netherworlds & Noise! Rindo, Fret, and Nagi have recently begun a campaign. But when Shoka enters and decides to join, Rindo finds his world turned upside down.

archiveofourown.org/works/690949...

#Rindoka #twewy #RindokaWeek2025
An excerpt from the fanfic Netherworlds & Noise, chapter 1: Flirting with Danger. Rindo and Shoka are on either side, but in alternate Halloween-like outfits. Rindo’s a mix between a scarecrow and a mummy, while Shoka has a kitty shawl on over a dark purple dress. Excerpt: “Of course. Isn’t that normally what you do for a pretty lady looking for company?” Her lips curved wide as she watched him squirm. “Uh—I mean, it’s not…” “Aww, haven’t you taken a girl out before? Or is this your first time?” Rindo wanted to die inside. His brain couldn’t keep up with this new flirty side of Shoka. Yet he also found himself… intrigued by it? Loosening his bandages, he gave it another go—this time trying to push his own awkwardness aside to be the cool and collected Noboru.

D&D fic for Rindoka Week officially done~ It's a witch AU side story, but I tried to write it in a way where even those who haven't read the witch AU can enjoy it with some light spoilers~
“Right…” Shoka took a deep breath, moving her hand away from the tome. “Then, she’s going to talk to the bartender. ‘Hey there, handsome. Mind calling your goons off these two? I’d hate to see such a nice pub ruined by their novice blood.’” Rindo frowned. He didn’t know how he felt about Shoka calling some rando ‘handsome’—even if it was in a game. “‘He called me a slimy bastard,’” Nagi replied in her best attempt at the bartender’s voice. “Did he now?” Shoka leaned forward, resting her chin on her hands as she got into it. “Did you know in draconic, ‘slimy bastard’ is a high form of praise? I hear dragonborns call their elders that as a way to say they’re well-learned.” Rindo raised his eyebrows. No way would the bartender buy that. Though it wasn’t up to roleplaying alone. “Roll for Deception,” Nagi said. “Roll for what?” “You see that twenty-sided die? You simply roll it, then add your deception score.” “Got it, then…” Shoka rolled, and Rindo sat up to watch.

Shoka finally appeared and joined the campaign~
“Hey, Shokie!” Fret greeted with no regard to how much Rindo was dying inside. “Wanna join? We’re about to have a pub fight in a forest full of undead!” “A… what?” Shoka raised an eyebrow, turning her attention to Nagi instead. “An undead pub?” Nagi adjusted her frames. “The people inside the pub are alive, I assure you. However, the forest they entered to get here suffers from a terrible curse.” She then flashed a grin. “I’m sure our heroes could use an assist.” “Aww, Noboru Shiningfield can’t save the day with his oh-so-‘shiny’ paladin powers?” Shoka teased as she set the character sheet right back down in front of Rindo, and Rindo almost wished he could crawl under the table and hide from her sneer. She grabbed a seat, making herself comfy as she leaned back. “But sure, deal me in. I can’t miss out on a chance to see Mr. Shiningfield’s glory.” “Seriously?!” Rindo blurted out, unable to gather his thoughts more than that. “‘Tis not quite so simple as dealing a deck of cards, I’m afraid,” Nagi said as she pulled her bag up into her lap. Her pumpkin shirt had a distinct grin on it as she shuffled through the bag’s contents. As if somehow anticipating the additional character, she soon produced a blank character sheet, a pencil, and a whole new set of dice. “You’ll need to build your character first. We can pause to help you with that task.”

Luckily I put in some sanity breaks for both me and them >.>'''
Luckily for her, Shiki didn’t. Neku, on the other hand… He gave her a smirk. If he said one word… “Alright, Shiki, we’re back to you,” he said instead, and Shoka let him off the hook. Turn five began with Shiki’s roll. [5 turns down; adding a break here for my own sanity DX’] Only Rinoa escaped, jumping down to a beach as her allies shot at it. With the minigame over and gil distributed, they were onto the last five turns. [10 turns down! Another sanity break] Which meant that the muscle man also returned.

“I’d save it for desperate measures,” Shoka replied. And speaking of items, she still had a Shinra Phone to use on a certain lucky boy. “Hope you’re ready, Rindo.” “Wait, what?” He balked as sweet, innocent little Vivi called the dangerous corporation. Only it wouldn’t be Shinra employees coming to say hi—but any villain in the series. They all waited with baited breath as the screen faded to black. Within seconds, One-Winged Angel began playing. “Really?!” Rindo exclaimed as Sephiroth descended in front of Auron. Shoka couldn’t hold it back. She burst out into laughter, doubling over against Rindo’s arm. “I dunno if you deserve that right now,” he mumbled, watching Sephiroth slash his sword across the screen to stop the randomizer and select Rindo’s fate.

The World Ends With Witches
Chapter 92: The Vampire and the (Were-)Cat

Joshua finally receives a Pig Noise from Shiki—and the accompanying Shoka.

Meanwhile, Nagi works to dispel the piling tensions in her group.

Excerpt from The World Ends with Witches, with Joshua on the right side. He's wearing a vampire outfit with a black cloak, and there's a white rabbit perched on his shoulder. Chapter 91: The Vampire and the (Were-)Cat “Ah yes, I just figured out how you can repay me in full for the sigil,” Joshua said, cutting off any further conjecture about his past. Shoka visibly braced herself, her sharp glare anticipating some kind of deal with the devil. “If you think you’re gonna get me to work for you, then you can shove it.” Joshua smirked. “Hee hee… Too bad. I imagine a maid outfit would suit you well. It already captures your general aesthetic, and I’m sure your boy toy would be quite interested in seeing you flaunt.” Shoka’s irritation boiled over into bright red embarrassment—in record time, too.

I don't think I've ever had to roll dice when writing a story before, but it's kinda fun leaving Shoka's fate up to chance~ ...and Rindo's, Neku's, and Shiki's.

Now I just need to figure out 3 vs 1 minigames, and we'll be good >.>~

I drew up a whole board for this... with spaces subject to change.

This group truly was rubbing off on her. But if they had the power to do that to her, then perhaps Minamimoto wasn’t too far behind. (...Aya, aren’t you going to bed? Why are you here?) DX Because like… I had a cute idea that I had to write before I forgot, and also I wanted to check back on how edits were going over here XD’’ Bad. T.T This color looks like watered down grape juice XD’’ Sair what the heck But you’re right, it does …what?? Why is this mustard now??? Better than my first choice. Okay, now we’re limes. It’s not worthy of limes Okay I hear your critiques. We’ll go blazing red instead. …… I can barely read the text. Better than the green Okay but the worst one is still this one Kazea why??? …….Out NOW Wait I can fix this. There. I’m leaving now Hi I helped Spoilsport. Thank you Aya XD’’ I’m sorry I don’t know what we’re doing anymore but Being stupid :D’ Yep. Right in the middle of my chapter. I’m just imagining Nagi’s having this huge, important talk with Sho… And he’s just writing numbers in all these colors on the table. Pfff he would though…Wow. That poor cafe. Sair get off my line. Hey hey. ….. At least there’s not like. Powerpoint style word text anymore. What’s with that emoji though?? Sair’s feeling sassy. She didn’t want me on her line XD’ I know, I watched you two typing at the same time I know she’s so rude. Anyway we should stop. XD’’ Scrolling back is like seeing a rainbow devolve into goth. The rainbow fulfilled itself ……what does that even mean??? Thank you, Kazea DX I was wondering that, too XD’’ Sair what the heck I’m still confused. This is ‘the door has opened’ levels of random The what??? Y’know, it’s that time that Sair randomly said that to the public server on Palia that one time on accident. XD’’ XD’’ Oh my gosh, yeahhhhh As much as I love looking at the lovely black and white here, are we done?? XDD Are we ever done? “Lord Minamimoto… About Lady Shoka,” Nagi began as they grabbed a table in the corner. Bribed with the sweet temptation before him, he let her continue without too much of a fuss. “I still believe she’s part of our group, even if her loyalties are… complicated.” Nagi’s eyebrows furrowed. “Truly, they are for all of us.” (On the side, there's a proper edit on top, and rainbow emojis by Sair on bottom) Are we ever done? OTL My funny idea didn’t work O.o What? [Old powerpoint picture here that reads "The fun never ends with us three best friends~" and a text heart] ………………………………………………………….. …………………………………………………………… XDDD I’m over you [Old powerpoint-ish picture of a sad face] Kazea get out Okay, it’s now scaring me when she’s quiet for too long XD’’ Darn, that one was supposed to be animated. T.T XD’’ What the heck Okay, I was gonna say I was done now but like what? Where did this purple come back from??? Oh uh That’s because I pressed enter earlier, but then we went on a line above my enter So the purple never left on this line We just kept adding stuff above it Oh XD’ I’m sorry :D’ I really am done now “Lord Minamimoto… About Lady Shoka,” Nagi began as they grabbed a table in the corner.

I like math, but I did not have Nagi making a math analogy on my writing bingo card for today.

Anyway, next witch AU chapter is done~ ...but it feels long to me, so it'll probably take a bit to get it all edited~
She plucked a triangle-shaped strawberry off of her parfait, holding it up. “To calculate the sides of a triangle, you could approach it in different ways. You could use the law of sines or law of cosines, simply depending on the values one already knows.” “Like those obtuse angles can find the value of c-squared.” “Would you truly bet on that?” Nagi’s glasses shimmered as she took him in. “‘Tis my belief that we’re all solving the equations before us in our own way, even if it’s not as straightforward as you might have done. And those formulas overlap for all of us. If Lady Shiki is the opposite side of a triangle from me, then Lady Shoka is the adjacent one. We’re all connected in this plight and trying our best to solve it, whether we use sine, cosine, or some other equation to get there.” Minamimoto quieted, stuffing another large bite into his mouth before chewing on the spoon. Nagi had to hope he didn’t leave any marks behind as she allowed him to mull over her analogy.

Here to report that I'm working on the next chapter of the witch AU, and today's writing session has been like 90% snark.
“The sigil for that shawl. I gave Shiki the blueprints for that. You’re welcome, by the way.” “You’re not serious,” Shoka said before casting her flabbergasted gaze to Shiki. “Please tell me he’s lying.” “He’s…he’s not,” Shiki confirmed, scooping her doll back up. “I never could’ve come up with that on my own.” Shoka’s face scrunched and twisted in disgust, and yet she had no comeback. Just as Joshua preferred it. “Cat caught your tongue?” “Oh yeah, real original. You’ve been waiting on that one, haven’t you?” “Now now, no need to throw a hissy fit.” “I’ll show you a hissy fit!”

Pigs, pigs, and more pigs. That's all it's been for days. And worse, Shoka's attempt to play hooky failed when Sho turned her photo shoot into a pig stakeout.

Shoka's wearing a black, fur-lined shawl with strange purple writing on the back. She has a purple dress on under it and black gloves. She's holding up a finger like she's keeping a secret as she looks to the camera. Summary: Chapter 90: Discord “Don’t you think there’s a reason Shiki’s group’s after them, too? Maybe we should actually ask them what’s going on for a change. Wouldn’t that be something?” Shoka replied sarcastically. “So why didn’t you go talk to them, then? I told you you could. Or did you conveniently forget that?” Well, look who’d decided to become Mr. Sassy all of a sudden. Not that he was wrong, but that just grated on her nerves more. “Maybe I have already talked to Shiki.” “Oh yeah? Then what’d she say about all this?”
