Niwa's Recent News
  • 19 April 2015 -- Niwa is under new management!

    Niwa is now under new management as we strive to stand up the the standards of fun and entertaining roleplaying we have so far provided here at Niwa. Today makes the start of a campaign to bring in new members as Head Admin Akaiken and Support Admin Sparky work together to improve and uphold the current face of Niwa and keep us all moving forward!

They said this was a city for our kind, they said it was a safe haven from the rest of the world. This was suppose to be the city where we where safe from regular humans. But, in a city where Meta-Humans run rampant, is there such thing as safety? When taking what you want is as simple as waving your hand, or closing your eyes, how can there be law? In this city, the truth is there is only one source of law, and that are the different criminal organizations that have formed all around us. The only order is that of the darkest part of humanity, of criminal organizations where the strong thrive while the weak gasp for air. This is Niwa Nights.. This is our home.

Can you survive it?

'Hey! This is Yui Iwasawa.
We met at the cafe` the other day.
I wanted to see if you wanted that lesson?
Yes? Awesome.
Meet me at the Central Public Library.
Bye~'


Yui sat in a corner table on the third level of the library, her legs were crossed and she had a book in her hand that read "Learning a new Language--" She was very good at learning a new language herself, but wasn't to good at teaching it. She wasn't sure exactly how to start or what to do, so she had been reading up the best way to teach a language to someone. It would come in handy later down the road, so it wasn't a total loss of her time. She had called Void, a man she had met at the cafe` the other day and asked him if he wanted to take her up on the lesson. He agreed to meet her; and she got extremely excited. Normally it was the guy that called the girl, but in a way she didn't care. The role system she felt was a bit silly, especially when it came to what a guy should do, and what a girl was meant to do. Pssh; Yui was not the typical woman, she asserted herself.

Yui looked really done up this time, her hair was pulled back in a half up half down style, the hair that was out of the bun was curled into spiral locks. Her outfit was cute ta boot too; she wore a white and blue dress, she wore white flats on her feet and had small diamond earrings in. Man she was trying hard to impress him, or maybe she just wanted to look cute...for him!

"Не будьте дурак, только оставайтесь спокойными.." She spoke out, it was very fluent the way she spoke Russian, it was very pretty coming out of her mouth. The language was meant to sound a little rough around the edges, but her tone made it sound like a very gentle and calm sounding one. Lifting her head up from the book, she looked around to see if she could spot Void.

Yui smiled at the question, THAT was a very different question. She'd never gotten asked that one before. Which was good, this means that Void actually was interested in her. She was so happy on the inside, she didn't want to show how enthusiastic she was. Yui didn't want to look desperate. "honestly... The Twilight Sagas....just kidding. she laughed a bit, hoping he would laugh at her joke then she began to think.

She hasn't been out of service for long, and honestly she hadn't seen a movie in a long time. Oh man, now that she thought about it, she hasn't seen a movie in six years. At least, not a new one. Oh man this was going to be hard. She did read a lot, so maybe that would be easier for her. Ah! There we go.

"Books are The Lovely Bones and The Pursuit of Happiness. Movie has to be Seven Pounds. If you haven't read them, they are great books and the movie is very moving. They really didn't inspire me per-say but they did touch me."

She smiled after telling him that... Wow, this feeling was something so different from anything she'd ever felt before..."alright same question back to you, but another one since its my turn. When you were a kid, did you see yourself here? Your career and your location, all of it? If not...what did you expect your life to be like right now when you were a kid?"

The waitress brought by their drink just as he asked his question. Upon hearing her answer, he nearly choked on his drink laughing. "No offense to those who like that series, but I just couldn't get into it. I tried reading the first book to see what all the hype was about, and had to stop about halfway through. I got so bored... I dunno, maybe it's because the books were geared towards girls, but I just couldn't get into them."

Void wasn't the type to just hate a book series because other people did. He actually tried to give them a chance and if his opinion didn't change then so be it. Most of the time he tried to keep his opinions level, but there were some cases in which he had to respond passionately. Fortunately, this was not one of those cases.

He listened to her explain the books and movie that had impacted her and was a bit surprised. For some odd reason he hadn't quite expected those answers from her.
"I haven't heard of The Lovely Bones, but I did hear that The Pursuit of Happiness was a good book. Oh, and I did get to see Seven Pounds/ It was a touching movie I will give it that."

As he took another sip from his drink he laughed. "Hey now, two questions? That's cheating!" He chuckled for a moment before resting his chin in his hands and looking her in the eyes. "But since you are so pretty I suppose I can make an exception this one time."

Leaning back, he let out a contented sigh; his eyes closed in thoughtful remembrance. "As for books, I'd have to say Gifted Hands the book was one of the more impacting ones I read. As for movies, I might have to say Flight of the Navigator. It wasn't an inspirational movie, but when I saw it as a kid I loved it. I watched that movie so many times."

"And while I am on my childhood," He leaned forward to look at Yui again. "To be honest, no. I didn't expect to go into the Royal Marines, or come to Japan. I did want to be a police officer, however. To be exact, I wanted to be more of a homicide investigator. But after being in the RM, I wanted more excitement. So I joined the SWAT here." He said the last sentence with a shrug of his shoulders.

"I guess I should ask a question. I must admit, I am curious about your answer to your own question...but I shall just stick to asking one, and if you want to answer the other, go ahead. Did you have anybody you really looked up to growing up? Either fictional or non-fictional, you choose." Void's trademark complacent smile appeared yet again, as he awaited her answer.

Yui took a drink of her tea and sat it down and put her hand down on the table. Her fingers moved around in a circle and she smiled towards him. This conversation was...amazing. She was loving every second of it. As he was talking, all she could think about was moving across the table and sitting next to him, having his arm wrap around her shoulders and hold her close. Nyaaa~ god did she really have a crush on him? He was so cute, and so far they were very similar to each other...even down to the fact they both served. Yui was smitten with everything so far.

"Ill answer that. No, I imagined myself being a doctor, or a veterinarian. The reason I actually went into the military was because of 9/11. I lost my grandmother in the attack...and many other people too. I'm glad I ended up here in Niwa...I have met some amazing people."

She was happy with her life, a few scars and small case of PTSD, she has no complaints of how her life has ended up. Now on to his next question:

"As for as my role model..." It wasn't a question of who it was. "My softball coach, Rich Wilson, he passed away when I was 15, but he was like the father I never had. If it weren't for him, I'd probably a completely different person. Ill always remember him for what he did for me. I visit his grave every chance I get too. He was an amazing person." Yui smiles sweetly, she really looked up to him.

Her hand was just about at the middle of the table, fiddling with the straw that she didn't use. "I would like to know your role model Void...then ill ask a new question for you."

Man, this was really getting to be fun. It was probably the most he had enjoyed himself on a one on one outing with a girl. When he had first seen her, he felt attracted to her physically. But now, as he learned about her, he began to like her for who she was even more. On previous dates, he had felt a bit awkward or out of place. But with her, Void felt very comfortable and the conversation came almost naturally.

Yui talked about being a Doctor or Vet, and the man chuckled. He thought about what she would look like in a doctor's coat or in scrubs working with animals. It seemed strangely fitting, and hot to think of her as a head doctor. He shook his head to get the thoughts out of his mind before they got out of hand.

As 9/11 was brought up however, his face grew a bit more serious.
"Yeah, I heard about that. I'm sorry about your grandmother. It must have been tough; losing her AND a national symbol...I can't imagine." He didn't know how he would feel if somebody were to crash a plane into Elizabeth Tower, or Buckingham Palace...

The conversation took a slightly lighter turn as she described her role model. Void himself had never been in an organized sports team, but he understood the camaraderie gained from being in one. Aaaaaaand then she said he died. Another person in her life, gone. No doubt she probably lost some friends during her time in the service, what with the war going on. For someone with so much death in their life, she seemed to be doing well. "He sounds like an amazing man, even if I didn't know him personally." Void grinned at her.

His grin turned into a confident smile as he saw her hand extend to the center. Reaching out as he spoke, he placed his hand next to her so that they almost touched and wrapped the index finger of his right hand around her pinky finger.


"My role model has to be my uncle. He was a big part of my life, and when I was younger, I'd hang out with him a lot. He tended to look at things from different angles, and often taught me to look at things in different lights as well. He is a good man with the best intentions at heart. Sometimes he could be a little whine-y, but no one is perfect, you know?

"Now for my question...what is something you look for in a guy?" On to a slightly more serious question now. He smiled kindly to show it was an honest question and not some kind of under handed tactic to get into her pants.

As she saw his hand move next to her's she took a deep breath, but when his finger wrapped into her pinky finger. Her heart skipped a beat, and her cheeks turned bright pink. Oh man, she must have been an open book, his actions were so perfect that she could barely speak. Yui moved her hand towards his and began interlocking her fingers into his, smiling brightly.

She listened to him speak of his uncle, who as well sounded like an amazing man. "Thank you, my grandmother and my coach will be missed and never forgotten. As for your uncle, he sounds like a man I'd like to meet one day. If that doesn't sound to weird and all." she smiled sweetly, her fingers now fully locked with his hand. She hoped he didn't feel weird...but, holding his hand felt so right.

"Well, Void not to sound creepy or anything, but someone like you." she blushed, her hand tightening a bit. "Someone tall, handsome, sweet, intelligent, strong, and can keep a good conversation. It's a plus that they have similar interests as me and can laugh and have a good time, and that loves their job...what kind of woman do you look for?" man how could she come back with that question, hopefully he didn't feel obligated to say someone like her. Oh man, Yui's heart was beginning to race faster and faster. Where was that food!

As she interlocked more of her fingers with his, he knew for sure he had made the right move. The touch of her skin made his body tingle, and sent a warm feeling shooting through his body. Her hand almost felt like it was meant to be touched by his. Whatever feelings he was experiencing, he wanted to hold her hand for longer.

His face turned a fully noticeable shade of red. He wasn't quite expecting that answer. Him?! Void felt surprised at first, but as the initial shock wore off, he felt...glad. Happy that she wanted someone like him. And right after that she turned to question to him. It was only fair, and he would be lying if he said he hadn't been expecting her to. But he didn't want to say something wrong and ruin the mood, or cop out and say the exact same thing. (hah, 'cop' out? get it? *is shot*)


Welp, all he could really do is be honest.

"What I look for in a girl..." He thought for a moment, looking up at the ceiling. "I tend to like fun-loving or easy going people. You know, girls who can roll with things as they come and laugh a lot. Someone who is smart and can make a conversation flow and alive. A girl who isn't afraid to be herself at all times, no matter what the situation or environment." He paused to take a sip from his drink before continuing on. "I tend to lean towards athletic girls and girls who like to exercise. Also, I am a really big sucker for blondes." He laughed at the last part, knowing full well the company he was with shared that hair color.

Leaning forward and looking into her eyes with a gentle and caring expression, he spoke.
"So far, someone like you, Yui."

About that time the waitress brought their food and set the respective meals in front of each of them. Void silently began to eat his eggs, wondering if he said too much, or went to far...

Yui felt butterflies flying around in her stomach, her face was so red And her body was so hot, it could boil water. Her eyes shifted up to his, her blue sapphire eyes meeting his. Damn that table, if it weren't for it she'd probably be embracing him in a hug. The feeling of his hand, the sound of his voice, the look he gave her. It was all to perfect. As he leaned towards her and said 'so far, someone like you, Yui.' Her heart almost stopped beating. It wasn't like nobody had ever said anything like that to her before..but hearing it come from someone like Void, really got her going. Her lips opened to speak when the food arrived, and what had timing.

She was right handed and it was awkward eating with her left, so she had to unfortunately release Voids hand. It was slow, and every inch if her finger touched his hand till the touch departed. "Void..I...uh.." she mumbled, how was she supposed to recover from that. Her face was so red by that point, she could barely stand it.

"You are an amazing person. I'm glad to have met you, thank goodness I decided to get coffee the other day." she smile widely, and nodded her head. "It was my turn for the question, do you have any special kind of abilities? Like, are you a meta-human?"

Now all Yui would think about is his touch, her hand grabbed the fork beside her and started eating her salad.

Relief flooded through his body. So he hadn't taken it too far; he was glad. On top of that, it seemed she shared his feelings about their first meeting. As he looked at her reddened face, he felt a strange sensation blossom in his chest. He really was starting to fall for her. It was only their second meeting, but there was something about her that drew him in.

Deciding to joke around with her again, Void cleared his throat.
"Why yes, actually. My ability is kinda weird though. I can change the color of my clothes and make them resistant to any and all types of food and stains. I can do the same to other people's clothing, only if I am touching them. In addition, if there is a stain on someone else's clothes I can remove that as well. Essentially, I am human bleach." He said it with a perfect poker face, nothing on his personage giving away that he was teasing her.

He returned to eating for a few moments before looking up at her again.
"So what about you?"

Yui's eyes widened as he told her his power, she was shocked but didn't want to show that on her face. That was an interesting ability, and in the back of her head...she was thinking how she would hate God for giving her that kind of power. Either way, at least if she spilled something on her nice white and blue dress he would be able to take it off of her right away. She wouldn't need to get changed from any accidents at all.

"I'd lie if I said that wasn't a weird power, but I bet you use it well." She smiled sweetly, then responded to him throwing the question back at her. "I'm a hyperkinetic. For Hyperkinetics the mind's imaging systems and muscle control are perfectly in tune with the motor skills center of the brain. Hyperkinetics possesses flawless aim, perfect balance, and greatly enhanced motor skills." She explained. "It comes in handy...actually, its the only reason that I can shoot a gun I'm pretty sure." She laughed at herself, it was true though, at least she felt that way.

She continued to eat her food, seeing him eat his, she smiled at the thought of this becoming a reoccurring thing. She wanted it to be...really.

He smiled as she talked, barely holding in his laughter. He was slightly surprised she had bought it, but at the same time, he couldn't blame her. He had seen some weird abilities, and not all of them were useful. He recalled one of his buddies could remotely turn on/off lamps. Worst of all, his power was restricted to lamps; it didn't work on any other electronics.

Still her power sounded very useful, especially in their line of work.
"In that case I'll bet sniping comes pretty natural to you then."

Seeing her expression sent him over the edge. He started laughing and had to put his fork down. His laughing continued for a few moments until he finally got control again. Taking a large drink from his root beer, he smiled at the blonde.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't keep a straight face. No, my power isn't bleach related, I was just teasing you. You made the most adorable face, though." He took another quick drink before he began to explain what it really was.

"My brain processes information a lot quicker than the normal human does. I can and have learned whole, full year collage courses in about two months, learned to speak fluently in other languages in less than a week, and so forth and so on." He grinned kindly to her. "That's why i was learning very quickly with you earlier. But you are a good teacher too."

"Also, I can analyze written text, pictures, things like that almost instantly. If you hand me a photo and tell me to find the most minute detail or hardest thing to find, I can spot it in less than a second. This also has minor benefits, like being able to read really quickly, being awesome at spot-the-difference games, etc."

Finally completing his explanation, he resumed eating, chuckling every so often as he thought about the face she had made. She was a really cute girl, and she was quickly stealing him.

His eggs and bacon were gone, and soon the sandwich would be as well. This diner made good food, he'd have to come back sometime.
