"There are different kinds of gifts, but it is the sa Spirit who distributes them.
There are different kinds of service, but it is the sa Lord.
There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the sa God at work.
Now to each one, the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good.
To one, there is given through the Spirit a ssage of wisdom, to another a ssage of knowledge by ans of the sa Spirit.
To another faith by the sa Spirit.
To another gifts of healing by that one Spirit.
To another miraculous powers.
To another prophecy.
To another distinguishing between spirits.
To another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues.
All these are the work of one and the sa Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines." -Corinthians 12:1-11

[Sanpaku Cafeteria]
Zoram: "...Thinking back, if I had my SeiõrSilkSleeves, maybe she could have went back to the battle and helped the Yang Vessel fight the out of control Yin Vessel."
Scylia and also Aiden listening from the other side of the table get interested by the ntion of a new form of the universal energy.
Scylia & Aiden: "...’SeiõrSilkSleeves’?!"
...
...
With the present mbers of Takamagahara having their own morning conversation going on, there are a couple needs throughout the group and broken equipnt troubles as well.
Char: "Don’t ever field strip a weapon without my permission again, you got that rookie?"
Dom(upset): "Yes, sirrr."
With most of the pieces in place, the ’gunsmith’ examines the rifle.
Char: "Well, without the trigger pin, this thing is useless."
He sighs, leans back in his seat, closing his eyes and massages the bridge of his nose.
Leaning over, Dom codically tries to take the broken gun very slowly and carefully, but retreats his hand back, just in ti before Char recovers from his mini ntal relaxation technique.
Char: "We’re going to have to hope we find a crazy gun enthusiast’s hidden armory or sothing because we’re also low on ammo.
With less than 100 rounds of every size caliber, hunting food will be trouble down the line too."
An imdiate reading of the room tells there is a shared worry amongst the group.
Jormy looks at his breakfast sausage and then at his big sister.
Jormy: "Are you going to eat anything Drakania?
I know it might not be the appropriate ti, but I still have to worry about you too."
Drakania tightly embraces her cherished younger sibling, infatuated with his chivalry.
Drakania: "Ohhh Jormy, you’re so thoughtful.
Don’t worry about , you eat up a beco big and strong, okay?"
Jormy matches her energy and nods with enthusiasm as he scoffs down the beef and pork encased sausage link.
Suddenly, the double doors open and the group at the table goes quiet, turning their heads at once in unison.
Entering the cafeteria first is a confident strutting bruised up Katsu and tagging close behind is a lethargic like, bruised up Shelly.
Using the sa hand with her tattooed thumb, the blonde Ace is wiping her nose with her pointer finger knuckle as if...
Katsu: "Jeez Shelly, that was quite the ’sneeze attack’ you just had."
Shelly(stuffy nose): "I needah tissue..."
Next to enter the dining hall is an already fed up with the day Saku, and his entourage of Friend, Itsuka, Xaaydagaay, Laban, and Princess Rebekah holding her mother’s hand.
Laban DaeMon: "God, are we going to have to bring Fish Bitch into the shower every ti she needs to piss?
She already is proving to be so annoying."
Xaaydagaay: "*Eeiieek* *click* *woof*!"
Itsuka: "I wonder if adult diapers would be a possible solution.
Laban DaeMon: "Well I for sure ain’t gunna change her."
Everyone who hadn’t witnessed Xaaydagaay the night before is quickly taken back by her imdiate, unusual appearance.
Drakania: "Wow.
She’s beautiful."
Jormy & Dom: "Whoa, she’s got a tail.
Aweso!"
Aiden: "Is that a woman with a muscle attached orca whale tail?!"
He begins writing sothing down.
The arriving two groups make their way over and spread out amongst the available seating at the large lunch table.
Saku sits next to Sol, slamming his face on the table and Itsuka takes the seat beside him.
Xaaydagaay stands behind Saku while Friend lays underneath his Master’s chair.
Across from them is Katsu, Shelly, Princess Rebekah, and Laban taking their seats at the table.
Sol’s sun-like eyes look at the disheveled Izanami Leader and while leaning on the table with her elbow, she condescending talks to her own captain.
Sol: "So, rough night last night, huh Dumbass?"
Unresponsive to the instigating comnt, Itsuka responds for him.
Itsuka: "We found him, Katsu, and our new acquaintance here, Xaaydagaay, passed out on the beach late last night.
She doesn’t speak like a normal human and she isn’t potty trained, but we’re getting sowhere...I think."
Xaaydagaay smiles with a closed eye expression.
Xaaydagaay: "*Prrr* *whhuuiiiuuuu*
*click* *click* *Rrrrrufff*!"
Laban rolls her eyes and pulls out her golden blunt case. Opening it, she sees her last remaining rolled up green filled cigarello then she looks across the table at Itsuka.
Laban DaeMon: "So, where is that room we transferred those supplies to, Amazon?
I’m running low and unfortunately I need tah start rolling my own blunts again..."
She looks down her side past Princess Rebekah and Shelly, right over to Katsu.
Laban DaeMon: "...Now that my roller on payroll is dead."
Shelly’s leans in and connects blue eyes with her long related cousin.
Down the table, the leader and man in charge of the surviving population within Sanpaku territory stand up from his chair and looks down the table at one of the newest arriving guests.
Daisuki: "Wait, what room and supplies are you talking about, Mada Laban?"
With his face still smushed into the table, Saku responds.
Saku: "Shelly’s winnings."
Everyone looks at the Valkyrie descendant and she is sheepishly squirming in her plastic chair under all the eyes on her.
Katsu however jumps up, like his Big Bro and looks over at him.
Katsu: "Oh yea!
Everything that happened afterwards kind of overshadowed it, but we have a whole stadium of supplies packed in our padded training room!"
Dom: "Oh shit, I totally forgot too.
We got a tank now."
Everyone who wasn’t part of the Roronora traveling crew perks up from hearing the hint to their first (and last) haul of Shelly’s winnings after defeating the DaeMon a month ago.
{10 Minutes Later}
[Inner Sanpaku]
In the sa staircase that Saku and Friend found the stuck Princess Kawaii, the tal door is opened by Daisuki and all of Takamagahara walks in and down the set of stairs to the barely lit concrete hallway.
With Princess Rebekah piggyback riding her Mama, she looks down at Zoram with an adorable smile.
Princess Rebekah: "I used my eye ability a little bit before we started heading for the cafeteria, MaMa Zoram.
Everyone is going to be so happy!"
Zoram looks up at her smiling shared daughter and responds with a smile of her own.
Zoram: "Well that’s because, just before you all had entered, everyone was worrying about the situations with food, ammunition, and equipnt."
Zoram looks away, trying to hide the fact she too was wishing for sothing to aid in her own quality of life during the mont.
However the princess’s second MaMa, Laban, interrupts with a smirk.
Laban DaeMon: "Don’t worry Zoram.
I rembered you were here too."
Princess Rebekah scolds her Mama from above.
Princess Rebekah: "Mama!
I was the one who reminded you the night before to pack it with the rest of her clothes!"
Laban cringes in embarrassnt from her child exposing her.
Both of Zoram’s eyes glisten before she wipes the potential tears and snowflakes drop.
The large group of 17 mbers arrive at a door in the dim hall and Daisuki flips through his large, half full key ring.
Daisuki: "God, dammit.
I should really label these."
Using her incredible mory, Shelly helps her struggling Sensei.
Shelly: "It’s the middle one of the three copper keys, between the two silver keys on the left half.
Daisuki finds the exact key she was referring to and uses it with success.
Everyone (except Laban) gives impressed glances at her and once again she blushes timidly.
Laban DaeMon(mumbles): "Show off."
Katsu smiles, seeing Shelly’s amazing inherited talents be idolized by the group.
Daisuki opens the door and the night vision, motion sensor lights flick on and Daisuki blocks the door from shock.
Scylia: "Is everything okay Babe?
...Babe?"
She gets a peek beyond him and her jaw drops, also in pure amazent to the sight of the haul.
Charybdis pushes the two of them aside revealing to the rest of the group the entire padded training room, up to the ceiling of stacked crates, boxes, and pallets all containing useful supplies, ammo, and resources.
Most jaw dropping however, is the M1 Abrams military battle tank stationed in the dead center of the room.
Char can barely contain himself as his legs wobble and shake as he approaches the tal beast.
Char: "This...is..."
Laban DaeMon: "Yep, it’s a fully operational M1A1 Abrams military tanker, completely kitted out with a 105 mm M68 gun.
Almost 69 tric tons of pure badass, fuck you in your throat, mobile weaponry.
It has a multi fuel turbine engine, almost indestructible by non-Seiõr projectiles or explosives, and a nuclear, biological, and chemical protection chamber surrounding and protecting the operators inside.
Yea, she was the only one we had, and I caught a lot of backlash from my homies, but in retrospect, it was the best judgnt call I’ve ever made.
But anything for my Saki."
