"And lastly, Jun Kimura, eighteen, the Ghost. Imprisonment length, one month. Skill of Soul: Frost Monarch. The mystical power of crystallization."
Hajiro looked up from the list of names he just read from. He smiled and turned to the frail, bedridden elderly man next to him. It was a dim room he was in, the only light emanating from the crystal chandelier hanging high from the ceiling. This was the Headmaster's room, deep beneath the Foundry's main quarters, only accessible by Hajiro and, when given permission, Sakina.
Taji Chalcedon, the Headmaster, was beyond helpless; bony and emaciated, struggling to hold onto life and supported by the many tubes and pipes that connected his body to a mysterious humming machine. Immobile and elderly, Taji was kept hidden away and secret to almost everyone in the Foundry.
"Well, Headmaster?" Hajiro asked, sneering at the bedridden man. "What do you think of them? These are all the Cursed worthy of note I gathered through my research."
Taji smiled crookedly - the large wrinkles on his face made him facially asymmetrical. "They all sound delicious to me. Though they all need more work," he said in a raspy voice, "I think this generation will be the best yet."
"Don't get too excited, you old geezer," Hajiro warned. "You've been watching the Blood Baths, no? You know what they're capable of. Your body won't last a minute against them."
Taji chuckled, struggling for air. "Yes, you have a point. This body, no. But I trust you have selected a suitable one like I asked?"
Hajiro's glasses shone brightly in the dim room. "Actually, no I haven't. I've been awfully busy preparing to meet with an inspector from the outside, it must have slipped my mind." He shrugged nonchalantly, feigning sympathy. "Too bad."
Taji opened his mouth to speak, but instead coughed, hacking violently, then wiped the blood from his mouth. "Find one quickly," he ordered in a scratchy, feeble voice, "or else I won't last any longer. That is your duty. Do not come back unless you are successful."
Hajiro bowed in compliance, getting up without a word. As he exited the Master's room, he heard Taji cough again, wheezing and gasping for air. A sly smile spread across Hajiro's face as the heavy metal door clicked shut behind him. 'Soon,' he thought. 'Anytime now.'

Anonymousover 10 years agoThis story is very good thus far but I suppose it would be considering how closely it resembles deadman wonderland I mean the wardens name is sakina which sounds similar to machina the warden in the fore mentioned show/manga
Anonymousalmost 11 years agoare you the author that partnered up with outama? this story seems like a spin-off of los desperados, i am loving it! pleas continue!
Anonymousover 11 years agoI really agree with the earlier comment about resemblance to DW. However I enjoy the settong and character development more than that of the original story. Also being a HUGE lover of yaoi and shounen ai, I thought the storyline was just fantastic. C:
thatonekiddover 11 years agoAuthorFirst, thank you for your input! I take it all into consideration.
As for the sentence/imprisonment length, each and every inmate is there for life. What Hajiro was reading to the Headmaster at the end was how long each Cursed was imprisoned for. Takuya was there for five years, Mudora was there for three years and Jun had only been there for one month.
I apologize deeply for any confusion this may have caused! Again, thank you all and stick with these Cursed for the next installment!
Anonymousover 11 years agoI see the resemblance to DW, however, I like this story way better. Why? As a girl, I love yaoi and I can tell Jun and Takuya are going to make one heck of a cute couple!
