We are now halfway through the year 2015. This month, I’ve landed in the body of Saber/Arturia Pendragon. It’s a strange coincidence, since I happen to be starring in a musical this month as King Arthur. The first thing I did was explain all that I was going to have to do in this role, just so she wouldn’t be upset with how I portrayed her.
“I still don’t get why you have to portray me in such an undignified way,” Saber said after she heard what I had to say.
“Well, it’s a comedy, so there are going to be some things that are out of character for you and the other Knights of the Round Table, I’m sure.”
“We were a symbol of chivalry and honor in my time. To be portrayed in such…demeaning ways is disrespectful to our legacy!”
“Listen, I know you didn’t plan for things to be this way, but…”
“I know you aren’t at fault for our predicament. The machinations of witches do seem to interfere when they aren’t wanted.”
“Tell me about it.”
“Nonetheless, I will do what I can to make sure at least you give my role some manner of dignity.” She then stood up and motioned for me to follow.
In a few minutes, we had made our way to the park in the middle of town. There were few people there, so it was peaceful at the moment. She then handed a plastic sword to me and said, “Let’s practice your swordplay.”
“My what?” I asked, but quickly had to block a strike from Saber as she came at me with her own plastic sword. She then backed off and said, “You need to pay better attention to what your opponent is doing. Picking up on minute details will help turn the tide of battle in your favor.”
“There’s really only one scene where I need to use a sword, though. Can’t I just…”
“If you want to make the fight look convincing, not just simple strikes, then you will pay attention to what I have to say. I will not pull any punches when it comes to the sword. Prepare yourself!”
This was the pattern for the next couple of days. During that time, I had managed to give Saber the details of how the scene where I used the sword was planned out. Using this knowledge, she was able to make the scene work where we thought it all fell apart.
Finally, opening night came, and I was backstage in my personal dressing room getting ready. I had dressed in the tabard and was about to put on the cowl and crown when Saber entered, as did Hinata and Tearju.
“Hey, what are you three doing here?”
“We just wanted to say, “Break a leg,” Brian. I know you’ll do great!” Hinata said, trying to ease my burden.
“I don’t understand; why would you want him to break his leg?” Saber asked. “It seems like a terrible thing to wish someone.”
Hinata quickly ushered Saber out to explain the meaning of the expression while Tearju approached me and said, “I’m really looking forward to seeing you perform. I never got the chance to before.”
“Then I hope you aren’t disappointed,” I said.
“Well, I’d better get everyone to their seats. I’m sure Saber’s more than eager for you to get the show over with.”
With that, Tearju ushered the others to their seats as I got ready to take the stage. It was a packed house when I finally emerged from backstage, and I was pleased to see the audience so receptive. They were even in awe of the swordfight Saber helped me choreograph.
After the show, I was approached by the others, who congratulated me on a job well done. Even Saber seemed to enjoy herself, having caught a few glances of her snickering during the show. All in all, I’m glad things went as well as they have.
After the show, we all returned home to see Blair sitting on the counter (in her cat form) sipping her milk from a saucer. “Six months down, six more to go,” she casually said.
“Yeah, then I can finally be a guy again!” I muttered under my breath.
Blair, however, perked her ears and said, “Are you sure you can handle being in a male body anymore. You’ve been in a female body for a year and a half now, even having to deal with different sized breasts. Maybe you should stay in a girl’s body permanently.”
“Like hell I’m gonna tolerate that!” I screamed.
Before the conversation could continue, Saber interrupted and said, “Just drop it. The chips will fall where they may. For now, just get to sleep. I don’t want you to make my body look unappealing.”
“My, my; I had no idea the great King Arthur was so into her looks,” Robin joked.
Saber blushed and said, “I’m still a lady, and I must look presentable at all times.”
“Even if your body is acting ridiculously?”
“Well…it was just a show. I made a big fuss over nothing!”
As the two continued to argue, I made my way upstairs and started to get ready to go to sleep. “Six more months. …Blair’s right, though. After so long without it, can I handle being in my own body again?”
“I still don’t get why you have to portray me in such an undignified way,” Saber said after she heard what I had to say.
“Well, it’s a comedy, so there are going to be some things that are out of character for you and the other Knights of the Round Table, I’m sure.”

Kaguya's Karma Seal Tg
“You’re done Kaguya!” yelled Naruto as he slammed a rasengan right into her gut, not noticing that at the same time she placed a karma seal on him. “You hear me! Done!” Naruto had expected his last attack to knock Kaguya out so that he and Sasuke could seal her away, but he was dead wrong. Right in front of him Kaguya’s body started to turn to ash! “What’s happening to you!?” he asked in shock. He never expected that his rasengan could have so much power. In fact it terrified him knowing what it was doing to Kaguya. “My dear boy,” she said softly. “You may have won this battle, but I have most certainly won the war. While my current form may no longer exist, I shall live on through a new host.” “What the hell are you talking about!?” Naruto yelled as his body began to feel strange. “Don’t worry my dear I can promise that you won’t have to worry about it soon. In fact the moment my current form disappears will be when my new one emerges.” “Stop speaking in riddles and tell me the

Mt. Girls
One day, Yu Takeyama sat in her office at her agency's office, lamenting over her current predicament. Despite all the good deeds that the Mineyama Hero had performed, her Gigantification made her prone to causing plenty of collateral damage, including knocking buildings over and crushing cars beneath her feet. As a result, her agency was constantly flooded with fines and lawsuits from those affected by the one known as Mt. Lady. "Haa~... it's hard to make a decent living with all these fines..." Mt. Lady let out an exasperated sigh while looking over the piles of paperwork on her desk. "Maybe I should do another commercial..." *Creak* As she sat at her desk, Mt. Lady looked up after hearing the door to her office swung open and saw a man in a suit approach her. "Greetings, Ms. Takeyama," the man greeted her as he sat across from her desk, "I'm with the Hero Association; my name is Dai Hyō." The Hero Association? This can't end well… Mt. Lady gulped nervously before speaking up.

The Sixth Potential - Arknights La Pluma TG Story
“Dammit, that’s annoying…,” David said, looking at the amount of Orundum he had left at the top right of his phone’s screen. “Come on, one more pull to get the last one. Come on…!” “Code name Texas. My duties consist of vehicle driving, cargo transportation and personnel safety. Keep mission briefings as simple as possible, please.” He sighed, internally cursing himself for having such bad luck. He just needed one last copy of La Pluma to get her full potential, so why did the game not give it to him? Was it a sick twisted joke by the game to make him spend more money or was it just bad luck? Either way, it sucked for him. He moaned loudly at his failed attempt to get the newest 5-star character in Arknights, a mobile tower defense gacha game. The moaning caught the attention of his roommate, Raphael. “What’s wrong, dude? You lost a game or something?” Raphael asked. “Nah, it’s just… Arknights again. I’m tryna’ max out this new character I like and the game’s just not giving me

Very nice, and Saber knows poker? Or just so far acclimated into modern culture that she's aware of all the idioms now.
