"Aye aye ma'am~" Misaki agreed to the plan with a wink. Teamwork made the dream work after all. Hearing the edge in Masao's tone and the lack of heat in it Misaki decided to shift tunes after all. They were close to the end, a common enemy was no longer needed. With it in sight they had a tangible common goal.
"You too~"
She didn't clarify further nor did she feel like she needed to. Holding her right arm out as if she were holding a shield Misaki got ready for Ylva to form the barrier on her side. It was cold, incredibly so, but she could bear with it for a minute or two.
It was more than they needed to cross the finish line but even so she was panting for air by the time they arrived. Ice was surprisingly heavy, especially when you had to counterbalance and multitask at the same time, but they'd made it through.
"Good work everyone, drinks this evening are on me!"
They hadn't made plans to celebrate before this of course but hey, with all the stress of the event maybe everyone would just think they forgot and show up anyway. It'd be just what they needed to unwind. Truly, Misaki's evil schemes knew no bounds. ” |

Giving Jun a nod while she kept humming Misaki was glad her guess had turned out right. She'd heard from people talking about spars that Jun could make shields but she had no clue how far she could project them, how many she could make nor how much control she had. Putting Plan C back into her back pocket Misaki got ready to do her part.
"Old married couple and all that, not the time to be a twat~" She continued to merrily goad Ylva and Masao seeing that they'd started bickering again the moment she looked away. The fact that the timer of the bomb seemed to be getting shorter and shorter was growing worrisome but it was far from the only problem Misaki was dealing with.
They were far from the only team looking to sabotage their competition and with her sensitivity to how sound carried Misaki had noticed the wind seemed just a bit different. They were being listened to. Quickly joining the rest of her team on the shields she could hardly suppress a snicker.
Without knowing the plan they'd agreed on at the start her words just now, the ones that the entire team had agreed with, sounded far different. They made it seem like Jun was to take the shields on the left, Masao and Ylva the log bridge in the center and she herself the ice path on the right. Given that their little voyeur was no doubt informing his team in real time without having line of sight on them that kind of misinformation was bound to throw a hamper into whatever they were planning.
Sure, the fact that they didn't come under attack from the team she was thinking of made it so none of the others would know how she'd just spared them another fight but Misaki was fine with that. She wasn't here for personal credit.
Taking the bomb from Ylva she held on to it for three seconds before passing it on to Jun on the fourth. If the pattern kept up the timer was decreasing by roughly a third. They had to hurry if they were to make it before they ran out completely.

"Actions speak louder than words, An-An~" Misaki sang with a grin that could easily be said to be mocking as she knelt by the edge and caught Masao. Her shoulder nearly dislocated trying to pull the redhead up in one go but there was no time to waste nor could she afford to assist her efforts with phonic energy. She had the distinct feeling she was gonna need every bit she managed to gather. Well, the insult thrown her way had definitely skewn the decision towards proving herself in full too. Rationally she knew it was likely just tempers running high but the thought had wormed its way in now. Had she really never succeeded in helping anyone? That couldn't be the case, right?
Once Masao was up she accepted the bomb with one hand and pulled on the chain with the other to help Jun get up as well. Idly she spun the bomb on one finger to do a bit of showboating while waiting for Ylva to finish her own climb. She kept it close to her as she did and had another hand ready to intercept anything that came its way of course but this kind of arrogance was bound to put the other teams on guard. Especially if they did something that made little sense next. Controlling perception was half the battle, that was one lesson from showbiz she carried with her.
"Riis-chan, freeze an ice path on the right of the bridge, Kanjo-chan, shields as stepping stones to the left of it~" The next part she said instead of sang, not to mention spoke it far quieter. "Anyone else starts to use ‘em? Remove it under their feet." And back to rhythm it was. Tossing the bomb from herself to Junsuina Misaki got a move on. "Jun-Bun, you take one, An-An and Frosty-chan, together in the middle~" Speed was of the essence, the more their competition panicked the more likely they were to fall for traps or make mistakes.
If both Jun and Ylva agreed to the plan and did as Misaki asked she'd pick whichever route Jun hadn't gone on while being ready to leap towards the center log bridge at a moment's notice. If not, well, simple had a charm all its own. With the experience they all had making it across the log bridge should be a piece of cake too.

She was on the ground.
As consciousness pierced through the haze and Misaki forced her eyes open again that was the first thought that ran through her head. Squinting against the light blurry shapes took form far slower than she would have liked. Was everyone alright? How long had she been out?
The first person she saw was Jacko down on his back, seemingly out of the fight, the next was Ylva. Despite the distance Misaki could read her body language. Her heart dropped. No, she couldn't let that happen.
Through pure force of will she forced one arm under her and used it to push herself up. Her legs felt like jelly. She only narrowly managed to get her feet under her and raise herself into what was little more than a crouch. Gravity did the rest. As she fell forward again she forced her legs to take several steps in quick succession, her arm coming up just in front of Jacko's head to tank Winter's Grasp as she went down again.
Misaki saw stars as her forehead thumped against the ground. It was nothing compared to the pain in her arm, rather, the lack thereof. "Please stop fighting," she mumbled with her face still pressed against the ground, barely audible but with Jack as close as he was hopefully understandable to him. She was afraid to look up. Near her elbow she felt a pain not unlike frostbite but below it? For all she knew her arm was gone. Hearing footsteps followed by Ylva's voice Misaki forced herself to raise her head and respond. Only one of her eyes opened, the black eye she'd gotten from her landing swelling the other one shut.
"I'm fine." She wasn't fine. "Help the others. I got this." She didn't but she couldn't risk Ylva staying near Jacko. One more lapse could ruin her future forever. Misaki didn't care if preventing that killed her. A wan smile crested her lips. Then again if she died here Ylva would probably kill Jacko out of fury anyway. She had to make it out of this one alive for her team. Misaki just hoped the rest of them were alright. Her vision was too blurry to check. All she could do was her own part and hope for the best. That burned far more than the frostbite did.
Using her frozen arm to get Jacko in an improvised one-armed fireman's drag Misaki began to use her other to slowly drag them towards the rest of the group.
"Please, stay down and don't make this harder." She asked, nay, begged of Jacko. "We don't need to fight anymore. It's over." Misaki really, really hoped he'd listen. She really didn't want to continue this but if he proved to be a danger to her friends again...
Well, she'd promised that Ylva wouldn't have to bear the burden of taking his life. One arm would have to be enough to finish it.
TL;DR:
-Misaki forces herself semi-upright, stumbles a few steps towards Jacko and throws her arm in front of him to tank Winter's Grasp.
-Can't feel her arm anymore, begs Jacko to stay down and tells Ylva she's fine and to go help the rest
-Tries to drag Jacko to safety while mentally preparing herself to go for the kill if he goes after her friends again.

"Ho ho, suspicious~" Misaki tittered. "I didn't say anything about having something bad. Do you have more confessions to make, Masao-chan?" She barely got through the question before her voice cracked and she had to cover her mouth. Half turning away her shoulders shook and she had to stifle a laugh before she managed to regain her composure.
The smile stayed on her face though, albeit it turned far softer when Masao elaborated on her feelings. "Well then, I'll be looking forward to seeing it" She couldn't help but wonder just what she portrait looked like. You could tell a lot about people by their art and while Misaki's specialty lay more in performance she was nothing if not experienced in speculating. Sometimes there was even evidence involved in her speculations.
"Yup." Nodding her head Misaki thought for a while on how to best explain it. Practical as ever Masao's question had gotten to the core of her Super Move. The feeling that came with it was one that Misaki felt was just as important for her super move however. Songs tended to cause or heighten specific emotions and if she was to push her quirk beyond what it could do she needed something… "To bridge the gap." Her eyes widened as she experienced her very own Eureka moment. "Music can connect people. If I can use my song to reach people's hearts and match their feelings I should be able to match their moves as well. If I can counter them exactly…" She stared at her clenched fist for a second before meeting Masao's gaze with determination blazing in her eyes. "...then I can create a chance. I know it's naive but if I can just reach out to them, just once, maybe a better future for all of us isn't out of reach."
Rationally she knew that in most cases it wouldn't work but Misaki refused to believe it. Sometimes all people needed was just one person that had faith in them, one person that reached out a hand. She'd be that person for as many people as she could until her very last breath. That she swore, both to herself and to the entire world.
"Hmm, perhaps it takes a lot to activate or time to ramp up in effectiveness? Can you activate it and try to keep it going?" Misaki was far from an expert in Super Moves so she had no idea whether it'd help but if nothing else practice always helped. If not to verify then to rule out. Nodding in agreement to Masao's suggestion Misaki took a deep breath and began to sing.
The lyrics were still a work in progress but the rhythm was there and as Misaki called over one of the training bots she was all focus, her song seeming to adjust just slightly as she watched the robot move.
"Right, so, while usually I charge my reservoir of phonic energy and unleash it to add an extra impact to my strikes what I'm doing with this is different. The phonic energy comes either just before the strike or in sync with it to counter the exact force of the enemy attack. Like this."
As her song generated what Misaki reckoned was enough phonic energy to safely activate her Super she took a stance and gave another command to the training bot. Its arm swiveled up and a hollow metal ball came flying at her from its gun arm. Misaki met it with a fist, her phonic energy thumping as the two forces made contact.
Except unlike what she'd said the strength she'd used hadn't matched the kinetic energy behind the ball, no, it'd grossly overpowered it. As a result the ball didn't so much dent as it exploded on impact sending sharp shards of steel into her hands, torso and legs. A scratch on her cheek made her gulp as she realized just how much worse it could have been. With wide eyes she turned to face Masao.
"It's- Uh- A work in progress," Misaki chuckled, more out of disbelief and panic than with any real humor behind it. "Ow, ouch. One second. I may need to take a quick stop by the infirma-" Her eyes widened again as she looked down at her hand and plucked out a shard. "Masao?"

"Ah that's fine then," Misaki responded with a smile and a nod. She knew Maisie wouldn't see it but things like that carried in your voice just a little bit. Seeing Maisie blush she decided to make sure her junior wouldn't be ashamed of showing her quirk. Misaki had no idea how people had reacted to it in the past and she hadn't quite known Maisie long enough to know which approach would work best but she could intuit enough to carry her through until she did. Well, so she hoped at least.
"Oh, that sounds interesting! I'm a big fan of your aesthetic already, I can't wait to see how the wings add to it. Can you fly with them too?" Misaki wondered if Maisie would be able to see through the eyes as well but knew better than to ask, if anything could possibly be a sore subject it would be that. Given how Maisie phrased it she doubted it though. Wings though, huh? As if she didn't look angelic enough yet. Some people just weren't fair.
"So you can perceive everyone's silhouettes?" Misaki asked just to be sure she understood it right. "That sounds really useful. With the right support equipment… Ah, I'm getting ahead of myself. That talk can wait until next time, today is for karaoke!" There were few things Misaki loved more than singing. There was just something about it that made her feel truly alive.
"Likewise! I've never met anyone before with a quirk so similar to mine, it's so exciting." Misaki added with the same sincerity. Reaching for the microphones she held one out to her karaoke partner. "Ah but call me Misaki, miss makes me sound so old. Oh, this one's yours. Can I call you Maisie as well or would you prefer something else?"
Waiting for Maisie to raise her hand so she could hand the mic over Misaki would pick the tablet up next.
"That sounds like a great idea! I'll queue us up a few songs, your pick for the first one. What are we starting with?"

Ouch. As much as it'd been the intention hearing Masao respond like that smarted. Her heart ached at the thought of how much stress she was under to lash out like that. If anything it strengthened her determination to keep up the act though. Clearly winning here mattered a lot and Misaki wasn't going to drag her allies down.
"Of course, Masao-chan~" Misaki replied in a singsongy voice to the tune of her humming, laying the annoyance factor on thick and charging her quirk all at the same time.
That they were so quickly united on a plan nearly caused Misaki's eyes to widen in surprise, only experience allowing her to control her expression in time. Had she been taking them too lightly? Yeah, she probably had, Misaki realized as she turned away, briefly not able to look her teammates in the eye. They were all burning with the desire to win. The idea that they'd prioritize their personal conflicts over victory was almost insulting and Misaki loathed herself for believing it. Still, she couldn't discard the idea entirely. If she was wrong she could apologize but if she was right she'd cost them the match by switching tunes now. That wasn't worth the risk. In for a penny in for a pound, the show had to go on.
"Right back at you~" Of course Masao could, she had no doubt about that. Her belief didn't matter though, only the opportunity to prove it.
"Better luck next time~" Misaki said with an innocent smile and a wave to the team that Ylva had just taken, her message genuine but her tone anything but. She made a mental note to clarify that to them after the match while she gathered more and more phonic energy through her rhythmic speaking. It wasn't on the same level as what singing would do but it'd suffice in a pinch. Said pinch provided itself in moments and with it an opportunity.
Seeing one of the bombs fly just a bit too high for the person it'd been thrown at to catch Misaki dashed over and lifted the first year by the waist. His eyes widened in confusion but he caught the bomb nonetheless, albeit still unsure what to say. That was more than fine though, it was his teammate Misaki wanted to talk to, another third year that went by the pseudonym Aqua Umbrae.
"MiiIISAAA-"
"No time~" Misaki interrupted the hoarse voice of her fellow competitor. "Gimme a lift up and we're even~" She knew her fellow student well enough, even though the woman hated Misaki's guts she hated owing someone even more. After this one interaction Aqua Umbrae and her team would be avoiding them like the plague for the rest of the match.
"Once."
"That's all I need~"
When Umbrae placed a hand on her shoulder with a pained expression Misaki turned to face her team and gave them a happy, innocent wave accompanied by a similar smile as they sank into their shadows.
"You three got this, I'll see you at the top. Don't drop the ball~" Ah, idioms, wasn't it great when they could mean multiple things? Her little wave slowly went lower and lower before the shadow zipped up the surface of the wall to deposit her at the top. She reckoned people were less likely to mess with her team when she was glaring down at them from above and could stop them from climbing far more easily than they could interfere.
Taking a glance over her shoulder during a moment of leisure she took in the next part of the event. Her hum stretched just a bit longer as the corners of her lips curled up. Oh, she had ideas for this one alright.

Sometimes a second stretched into eternity. When everything came together and the colors seemed brighter, when the roar of the crowd reached its fever pitch and the exhaustion and euphoria of giving it your all combined into an unforgettable instant, when all that combined time was irrelevant and emotion reigned supreme. It was the kind of thing that lived on in your memories until you drew your last breath and even beyond that in the lives you changed, a true immortal moment.
Sometimes though, sometimes a second was just a second.
When Jacko's legs froze and he bent backwards with an expression that made Misaki's heart drop she didn't have the time to come up with the best way to prevent what he was doing or even prevent it at all. Motion took precedence over thought, only after would the dreadful self-doubt and what-ifs set in.
"Ylva, watch out!"
She didn't have the time to turn her head and see how Enma was doing, nor the presence of mind to check on whether Masao was holding out or if Kiku needed assistance. The second had passed by the time she finished shouting and throwing herself forward, angling herself sideways and putting a hand over her fist to put her full power and weight behind the elbow drop she was aiming at Jacko's face.
Electricity coursed through her as she let out a furious roar in tune with Masao's scream of agony. She could feel her muscles lock and spasm, pure force of will fighting to keep her going for long enough to land her strike.
All of her phonic energy went towards her elbow, everything she'd gathered throughout her song, every scrap of it that was still in her body, all into this one strike. A feeling like glass cracking went through her mind. This was the turning point. If she hit then Ylva would be free to support the rest of the team -she hoped-, if she missed she'd be down and likely die a pointless death.
It was all or nothing. Her eyes met Jacko's on the way down. One of them would fall here. But that didn't need to be the end. They could both survive this. Misaki wasn't just fighting for her team. She was fighting for everyone here, enemy or ally alike. No one left behind.
TL;DR:
-Misaki tries to elbow drop Jacko right in the face.
-The moment she's done, hit or miss, she's going tf down for a bit. Tasers do be like that.

This was going to go great!
The whole gang was together and for their fourth they even had Mood Ring. While Misaki hadn't talked one on one much with her classmate she'd done some snooping after seeing her appear in a news report so she had a layman's understanding of what she could do. Whether they could cooperate perfectly right off the bat remained to be seen but Misaki had high hopes.
Then her teammates opened their mouths.
Ho boy, she was going to have her work cut out for her. Exchanging a commiserating look with Jun, Misaki stepped between Masao and Ylva with her hands raised. Hmm, this was going to need a special touch but what...
At this moment there was an angel and a devil on her shoulder. The angel told her to respect their respective boundaries, not rock the boat and pick up slack where needed to make up for their lack of cooperation. The devil, well, the words she picked out between the maniacal laughter sounded like they were worth a try. Nothing united people more than a common enemy and Misaki was sure she would worm herself back into their good graces in the long term, the short term was what mattered right now. She knew both Ylva and Masao cared greatly about winning in their own way and she presumed Junsuina did too. Yes, their accomplishments were worth tanking her own reputation.
"Now now, you're both passionate but wait with all this until you're back in the dorms, m'kay?" There, that'd do it. Ambiguous enough to imply at something that'd get their anger to turn to her instead of each other but easy to explain away later as to what she really meant, that they were both passionate about winning. "Kiss, make up, yadda yadda and all that. Game plan time, let's focus." If she didn't have so much practice at keeping her face straight she'd be cringing at the ill-fitting act she was putting on. She didn't exactly have a lot of experience with playing the villain.
Suggesting they all work together wasn't going to go over well, no, she didn't know about Jun but unless it was their own idea Masao and Ylva were more likely to reject the idea purely out of spite. As much as she cared about both of them they had a stubborn streak a mile wide, especially when it came to not doing what the other one wanted. Welp, here went nothing.
"Let's split up. Neither of you are fast so forming a metaphorical conga line with me or Jun in first place to pass the bomb until we reach the wall is probably smartest. Sure, people could intercept like that but we'll be in more trouble if we slow down for the weakest link." Now that really, really hurt to say. Lying like that turned her mouth ashen. Sure, she might have been faster in bursts but Misaki had no illusions as to the fact that the real weakest link was her.
She didn't look at anyone while talking, both to make herself look more arrogant, as if it were all a done deal that the peons should listen, and because she couldn't stomach the thought of how they might be looking at her right now.
"Actually no. An-An can take point with her armor, Ylva in the back cause, well, anyway. Mood Ring, your quirk can let you pull them our of the fire if you're in the middle right? You're probably fast enough to run between the two of them and hand the bomb over instead of having to toss it too. I'll run interference and pick up slack when someone messes up."
She was buying all three of them so many sweets to make up for this when they were done. Right now winning mattered most however, she didn't know all that much about Ylva and Masao's circumstances but she could pick things up from context clues. She just hoped she wasn't misreading things. That left Jun as the person she was least certain about but she could adapt on the fly if things didn't work out.
Touching the bomb to register herself she looked away from the team and towards the rock wall as she began to hum to charge her quirk. Right, she'd almost forgotten about herself. It was time to make sure she'd be ready for action too.

"Wah?!" Misaki yelped as she was lifted up and put on his shoulder. She didn't stay wide-eyed for long, the stage was her, well, stage and she was no stranger to engaging in some PR.
Flashing the crowd a bright smile Misaki shifted the flag to her other hand and extended her arm past Michael's head so they could both hold the flag up together.
With her free arm she waved at the crowd, fully trusting Micahel to keep her balanced as she did. Seeing cameras flash she just knew this would make for a great picture. She'd need to make sure she got a print of it too.
"To a bright future!" She cheered, giving Michael and encouraging wink before continuing to wave at the crowd and cheer along for the other competitors. This event was secured, now it was time to reap the spoils and set the stage for grander victories. Misaki would make sure they'd all come out of this better than they were before, no matter how much effort it took.
For that was what a hero did.

"Oomph!" Misaki theatrically exclaimed when Michael caught her again. As far as collisions with another person went this was far less painful than the norm. A faint blush appeared on her cheeks, it was surprisingly snug being held like this. She could see why people liked it. Shaking the thought away she refocused, that was neither here nor there and they had a task to do. Relaxing before victory was assured was the best way to lose and Misaki had no intent of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
Not making it in one go was a bit of a setback but neither of them lacked experience in bouncing back, sometimes more literally than other times. Speaking off...
Uh oh.
Landing strategy. That was something they probably should have thought of before setting off. Feeling Michael tank the brunt of it Misaki grimaced. Equally worrisome was the fact that they were bouncing straight for one of the fall-away tiles. With a quick kick she redirected their momentum towards a safer one, cringing as they bounced and eyes widening as they went for another dangerous one. Several kicks, pushes and far too much excitement for Misaki's liking later they came to a stop just before clearing the tile obstacle course in reverse.
"Phew, too close," Misaki sighed as she let herself drop onto her back and spread her arms wide. Turning to face Michael she frowned. "Boo~ I should be asking you that, you took the brunt of it. Are you okay?" Guilt cut deep. As a third year there was no excuse for letting a first year pay for her mistakes. She had to be better. With determination in her eyes Misaki pushed herself upright. She would be better. That was all she could strive to do, wasn't it?
"Alright! Final stretch, let's keep going. We got this!" Flashing Michael a bright smile she faced the first obstacle. Well, the first they tackled last time. Right now it was their final one. "Same rhythm as before, on three. One, two, three!" And with that she leapt into action, humming the tune of the song they'd used just in case as they made their way across. There was little doubt left in her mind. They'd done it. Teamwork saved the day!

Cute.
That was the first thought that ran through Misaki's head when Maisie walked in. The girl looked like a doll come to life. Skin like porcelain, a demeanor that roused protective instincts and a voice like honey. It was good that Misaki wasn't lacking in self-confidence or she'd have taken quite the blow.
"Any time," Misaki cheerily replied while taking a seat again herself. "Oh, why's that? Quirk related?" She hoped it was. The idea of someone bullying this girl...
It was good that Maisie couldn't see the way Misaki's eyes narrowed at that thought.
"On that note. Before we begin, does your quirk have any destructive capabilities that I should keep in mind?" It wouldn't do for them to leave the karaoke booth in shambles after all. "Hmm, it's only fair if I share some of what I can do first. While I won't bore you with the details of how my quirk works I can essentially add a 'reverb' to my moves or use it to sense things." The latter, she left unspoken, depended more on how she did it.
For some reason channeling her phonic energy through solid materials like the ground allowed her to get a fairly accurate idea of what was touching it but air dissipated her quirk rather quickly. It was more of a sonar than true echolocation from what she could tell. But she digressed. Her quirk required an active choice to activate, depending on whether Maisie's was similar in that way too or not they might yet need a more specialized facility to practice.

"Always, Masao," Misaki said in the most dramatic of tones while looking at the sky, a moistness in her eyes hinting at a forming tear. "We must always keep going. Through the harshest of storms and the darkest of days. Never can we give up. Always must we push on." A tear ran down her cheek as she looked Masao in the eye. "Even if it is to buff up a friend's ego. Especially if it's mine."
She let out a snort and wiped the crocodile tear away the moment she finished talking.
"Repetition is the mother of learning. I fear not the woman that has practiced a thousand punches once, I fear the woman that has practiced a single punch a thousand times."
All that was missing was a fake beard and long mustache to go along with her words. The 'mysterious and wise' attitude she was already able to replicate perfectly.
"Got it," she whispered while trying to stay still. Something that became harder and harder the more Masao spoke.
Clasping her hands over her mouth Misaki nodded with wide eyes. Masao was right, that could have been dangerous. She'd never considered employing her quirk that way. Maybe...
Thinking on that could wait, Misaki was locked in right now. She had to hear every last detail.
"The second year?" She'd met him before. Whether he was good enough for their Masao, well, that remained be seen. Misaki was more than ready to play the evil big sister and judge him if need be. Her eyes gleamed when she saw the picture. The angle it was taken at... Yes, that was telling. She hadn't doubted her of course but that was undoubtedly taken during a date. Listening attentively Misaki's smile turned sappier by the moment.
"Daaaaamn, girl. You've got it baaaaad." Misaki teased with a chuckle that turned into a laugh when Masao hurriedly stood back up again. "Get something out of it?" She asked with a raised eyebrow as she pushed herself back upright as well. "Are you kidding me? This is the best training session I've been to in forever!"
Stretching with her arms over her head and limbering herself up Misaki got ready to get into the thick of it. She'd already reserved some training bots that could be called in at any moment should they be needed too.
"The portrait will be something to look forward to then when we're done. Are you sure I can see it though? It isn't something made for your eyes only~?"
Perhaps she was teasing a bit too much but Misaki just couldn't help herself. Either way she made a note to dial it back for the rest of the training. Too much was never a good thing. Taking a deep breath and collecting her thoughts as she shifted gears Misaki closed her eyes. She felt the phonic energy within, the rhythm of her breathing generating just the slightest bit of it. Letting it escape her through her feet she literally grounded herself by observing the earth beneath her. When she finally opened her eyes again it was with newfound focus.
"The technique I am hoping to master is a reactionary one, what's yours like, Masao?"
