The year, 2247, 100 years have passed since “H-Day,” when hackers of the infamous group P@P (Piece@ Pieces), a group formed to bring peace in the world, hacked into every goverment system of the world simultaneously and caused the biggest incident of destruction the Earth had ever seen. The group had initially tried to reason with world leaders to bring peace to the world, as many countries of the world have been fighting constantly non-stop for decades causing untold amounts of death and destruction. But when peaceful negotiations wouldn’t work, the group decided to bring peace to the world through their own method. On April 1st, 2147, P@P had agents from across the globe launch a virus into the goverment system of the warring countries causing deletion in mere seconds. Unfortunately, P@P did not realize this virus would also cause missile silos from across the world to explode due to an error in the coding. Wave after wave of silos exploded, causing the deaths of untold innocent lives, possibly in the millions, across hundreds of miles. Major cities around the world were destroyed. I work as a specialized investigator who looks for lost technology within the path of destruction as a result of the missile’s exploding, the town I am currently going to investigate is the remnants of “Old Tokyo.”

It will be at least three more days before I can get to Tokyo, for I was dropped off at Osaka and traveling by horse. A few weeks ago, a massacre of the inhabitants of Tokyo had happened, some say it was a gang of thieves that rampaged the city, others say it was an unknown monster that wiped out the city in a flash; no one knows why it happened, those who survived said all they saw was a flash of brown and black. Though that was in the past and I take no heed and put my mind to research on the domino effect made from the explosion of the missile silo’s, causing major company’s to be destroyed and the information from those plants as well. The Earth is slowly recovering but technology like cars, most planes, and other advances have been lost. So it’s my job to see if there is anything left remaining in the destroyed area’s.

The world has become lawless ever since “H-day,” the only thing to keep one safe and in power is the gun. The world has now turned into “the wild west” from the old days of the US. I even pack my own gun, a old True-shot SGP laser pistol, which is one of the best guns they ever made but have been discontinued due to the company being in the path of the explosion. I am resting for the night, a full moon is supposed to be out tonight but it’s currently being covered by clouds, making the surroundings pitch black; if it weren’t for my campfire I probably wouldn’t be able to see my own nose. Over the fire I am cooking the beef curry meal packet I brought along inside a pot, which is cooking nicely with the heavenly curry aroma filling my nose with every sniff. Suddenly, I hear a gun cocked right behind me and feel the front end of a pistol aimed at the back of my head. “Don’t move,” I hear in a cute voice of a young girl behind me. A second later the moon comes out from behind the clouds and a face suddenly appears before me in a flash.

A cute girl in some of the most bizarre clothes that I’ve ever seen appears and goes right up to my face and says “What’cha cooking up onii-chan?” Startled I fell backwards and landed on my back, the loli just smiled at me and laughed. “You’re funny onii-chan ^^.”

“Huh?” I say out of confusion. She responds, “I asked you what you were cooking onii-chan?” I felt wary of this “loli” after I recently read an old article on the “dangers of loli’s” the night before on the plane ride. “Cu..curry, beef curry,” I tell her, with a slight tremble in my voice due to the aftershock of seeing her so close. “Ohhhhhh, that sounds good, can I have some?” she asks with a pout look on her face. My nerves finally come back and I say “WHAT? After you just pointed your gun to me, you want me to share my food?” “Please, I haven’t had food in days T-T,” with tears on her face. I was initially against it but thought how she must be starving with nothing around for at least 500 kilometers, though my instincts told me to be wary. “OK, you can have some,” it was only made for one after all. “Yahtaaa!!!” she exclaims, and plops herself right next to me while looking at the curry, “My name is Hikaru.” I take a look at her guns and was surprised to see that she wielded two of the rarest guns on the planet, the black gun known for it’s 100% accuracy, “Truth,” and and the brown gun that could kill a person with one hit due to it’s special bullets, “Lies.” I must have been staring pretty hard because the loli suddenly got up and said “Do you like my guns?” She then started to show them off to me in a dazzling array of gun tricks I’ve ever seen, the brown and black guns gleaming in the moonlight.

I hear a bubbling sound next to me as the curry begins to spill over the pot, which I rush to attend to. “Onii-chan, you wasted good curry” Hikaru tells me with a look in her eyes that almost made me drop to my knees. “Here….” I tell her as I pass the bowl of curry and some pita bread from my backpack while looking away from her so she doesn’t see my red face. “Delicious” she exclaims after taking her first bite, which is why it’s my favorite ^^.

Having finished her meal, Hikaru stands up and bows to me “Thank you for the meal onii-chan, I have to go now.” With curry half down my throat I choked at this news and after clearing my throat I say to her “But it’s dangerous out there, a whole town was massacred not too long ago, and whatever did it is still out there.” “Don’t worry” she tells me, “I’ve got “Truth” and “Lies” with me.” With that said she turned her back on me and was gone in a flash, with a bell-like laughter that pierced the quiet sky.

The next morning I was traveling to the ruins of Tokyo when a strong wind picked up. A piece of paper came flying at me and landed right on my face, after wrestling with the paper I took a look at it. It was a wanted posted and it floored me when I read it.

The infamous Hikaru, known throughout the world as a mercenary for hire, her latest connection with P@P was the one responsible for the massacre of Old Tokyo and no one has ever captured Hikaru’s face until now. I continued on, constantly looking over my shoulder, with the ringing laughter in my head.

This is one cute loli lol, she is definitely one of my cutest figures to date lol. I picked her up right up when I saw her at the local anime store, being the cutest one I saw there and knowing of how rare it is to find now. I hear Hikaru has been sold out for a while, as she came out almost two years ago, so it was a lucky find. The detail on Hikaru is superb, from the hair down to her boots. The guns came out especially nice, with the words “Truth” and “Lies” painted right on it without any flaw. I love the outfit design, very unique and gives you that “old western” look to it that compliments the guns. There were barely any visible flaws, the only one noticeable was a little extra pvc material on her left boot. The base is plain, a clear pink base with pegs for her feet to keep her stable. This is actually my first “true indoor” photo shoot, my previous one was Yomiko shot inside but with light coming in from the window. I did an indoor shoot this time because I couldn’t think of the right outdoor background to match Hikaru, plus I always wanted to try it out ^^. The hardest part was probably the lighting, it never came out to what I wanted it to be. The The background was originally lighter, so I played around with photoshop to make it darker, the result also made Hikaru darker but it concentrated on her more so I let it be. I couldn’t get a real close up shot on the words “Truth” and “Lies” due to my camera not being the best in the world in macro lol, but it did come up with the other great pictures. My first time wasn’t so bad, most of the time came from setting it up and figuring out the angles for the best lighting. The last picture above of the wanted poster was generated through glassgiant.com and had exactly what I wanted; the rustic look, the font, and all I had to do was enter some words and upload the pictures. Making something like that takes lots of time lol, so finding the site really helped me out. Thanks goes out to rooro for helping me coming up with her nickname, “The Rori-Ranger.” If you know Japanese, then you would know that L’s don’t exist in the Japanese language and instead replaced with R’s, so if you change the R’s in “Rori” to L’s you get “The Loli-Ranger,” quite clever. Here are some other pics I couldn’t fit into the story.

If I put the pantsu picture in with the story, how would the story have come out lol ;p. Maybe “you” want to throw in a “alternate ending/filler” into my story with the basis on the pantsu pictures. If you have any tips for me on how to make my indoor pictures better, please don’t hesitate to comment.  My setup is below, nothing fancy, amazing isn’t it lol.
