Ma'am.

The Blood Maiden, AKA Wallachia von Abram, has successfully been apprehended. As I write this a consensus has been reached between the local police and the TSAB-administered Archangel Orbital Facility. Von Abram will serve her life-sentence on Archangel with special security and facilities. Warden Simon McClusky has agreed to our conditions and will personally see to it that it is handled accordingly.

A psychological analysis is still uncertain, depending on von Abram's condition. As of now we don't know how damaged her brain is. Time will only tell.

I'm glad this nightmare has come to an end, and I hope we will never encounter such a criminal again. It might be hopeful thinking, but I'm optimistic.

Regards,
Chief Investigator Ramolous Green.

::Case Status:: CLOSED//

Something about that ending makes me think this is hardly the end of it. Just a hunch.

Well, at least now I can send the KGB after you for trying to pull that.

As of now, I'm still unemployed. But I do have a couple of job interviews this week. Though I'm most keen on getting into this insurance company that has been making good progress in our country. The compensation package is veeeerry attractive.

Well, good luck with those.

That she does. Though Suika is still close behind. And Touhou!Keroko herself still hangs between reincarnated goddess and half-oni. Both have interesting plotpoints and backgrounds to explore.

Spellcard rules, yo.

Just another question. During battle, does Keroko-chan's emotions show freely on her face or has she already mastered using a poker face during battle? (StrikerS Timeline)

That's... a funny story, actually. I've been tweaking the plot of the Kha/Elric/Keroko undercover mission ever since I came up with it, and Keroko is undergoing a slight image tweak in it.

Long story short: The Cradle battle caused more harm than anticipated. Her Aspect magic began growing, which while natural for normal Aspect mages is both unnatural -and dangerous- for Keroko, since the corrupted energies now threaten to overflow the barriers. Luckily, technology hadn't been standing still since the first barriers were created around her core 11 years ago, and thanks to a collaborated effort between Wes and Aurion, Keroko ends up with a new device mode (conveniently dubbed 'Aspect Mode'). This mode acts as a safety valve, releasing the surplus energy in short bursts. On the downside, the mental controls are weaker, so there's a sort off... battle lust. The joy of fighting is bigger when using it. It's not full berserk, but she does get more of a kick out of fighting.

So yeah, to say she shows emotions when fighting... would be an understatement.

There's also a change in hairstyle, she's got short hair now. I'll try to cobble together an image quickly.
