Port Matthew's The Sensational Six

#97: Nina and Erisa decide to focus on their "enhanced" relationship, then have a very graphic conversation about their ex-boyfriends that simply cannot be edited down to acceptable PG-13 levels (I originally wrote this for my wife who is in her late 20s). So, sorry everyone, no graphic details for you. With that, I am sure there are probably people out there who are like, "97 issues? Screw that noise! That's too much crap to wade through! Besides, this is a show-... Go to this entry →

THREE! TWO! ONE! HAPPY NEW YEAR! They passed over to the new year in Defenders' Square near a stage where a rock band launched into a guitar-rock version of Auld Lang Syne. Dan-O and Momo kissed each other passionately. Kari and Taro kissed each other, a little bit more shyly than the others. Nina and Erisa stood in slight discomfort before Erisa worked up the guts and grabbed Nina's face and kissed her playfully. The pair laughed happily and hugged and the Six loo... Go to this entry →

Jack: Hey look, it's Cute Girl and Hot Girl! Erisa and Nina turned around to see Jack standing behind them with his arms around a pair of attractive college-age girls. He was smiling widely and obviously drunk under the cowboy hat he was wearing. Erisa: Oh, hey there, Cowboy. Nina: How's it going? Nina smiled at him as well. Despite his being obviously spoken for that night, the two girls really liked him, although it was veering towards a platonic friendship at that mome... Go to this entry →

*NOTE: I did skip #93. I think I made a mistake the first time I wrote them, so pay no attention to what the man behind the screen is doing! (Imagine it's nighttime...) Marley and Tory sat in Marley's living room staring at the old tv on the low table across the room from them in silence. The house was devoid of sound besides the low hum of the refrigerator. They glanced at each other and Tory stood up. Tory: I don't know why you never invited me over. This is a perfectl... Go to this entry →

Kari kept grinning at Erisa and Nina as they stood on the monorail bound for Defenders' Square and the New Year's Eve party that happened at the end of every year. Nina did her best to ignore it, but still sneaked shy little glances only to be rewarded with a bigger smile from her friend. Erisa glared openly at her, making no effort whatsoever to hide her annoyance at Kari. Dan-O: Alright, I give up. What's going on? Kari: Those two ar- Nina: Shut up, you! Erisa: We...

Nina stood in her bedroom the night of December 31st staring at the pictures of the accident. She didn't know why, but she thought she should at least force herself to feel something about seeing them. But from every angle, after watching the video of the accident hundreds of times, there was just nothing in her heart nor any epiphany concerning what happened. She leafed through them again and set them on her bed and stared down at them. A knock at the door didn't disturb her in the... Go to this entry →

Dan-O's house, a day or two before New Year's Eve Nina: So that's what it looked like... She looked at the pictures spread out in front of them on Dan-O's kitchen table. She tapped one of Marv's car take from a front 3/4 view towards the driver's side. The entire side of the car was caved in. Her door hung open on the other side. She gathered them all up again and leafed through them. A few were from a traffic camera set up to record intersections to help with acci... Go to this entry →

Erisa: You can always tell who the American guys are in Port Matthew. Nina: What do you mean? Erisa: Well, they're just a bit louder and more forward. I was kinda surprised by how Daiki acted around me, I think he's moderated his behavior to be a bit more in-your-face than a lot of the Japanese guys I know. I mean, you've seen how Taro acts, you know? Nina: Yeah, I guess I can see that. But I don't know, there are plenty of loud, forward Japanese guys in PM. Think abo... Go to this entry →

*NOTE: I'm editing the numbers from here on out to accurately reflect which issue I'm putting up here. So, I didn't skip #87, there were a couple short issues I combined a while ago and it's been confusing to remember which issue I'm on and I'm finally rectifying the situation. So, you're not missing anything. The Dude from the Tower: Hey, didn't think you'd actually come here. Nina: Heh, I'm braver than you think. Of course, you're pretty b... Go to this entry →

Stagefright was one of many average sized bars (much smaller than The Pole, which was quite large for a dance club) with a karaoke stage that surrounded PMU. This night it was full of people of all ages, but mostly college students out celebrating the end of the fall semester exams as winter break set in. It was dimly lit (like every other bar or club in the world) and noisy due to the singing. The Six were immediately split up and Nina wandered through the crowd thinking to herself. Nina:...
