"During an investigation, private detective Shunsaku Ban and his nephew Kenichi travel from Japan to Metropolis—a restless high-tech city where people brutally persecute their robot cohabitants and a dictatorial force rises in power. The two are investigating Dr. Laughton, a scientist suspected of human organ trading, who is supposedly hiding there. Unbeknownst to all, Dr. Laughton has built a cutting-edge female android called Tima for the most influential man in Metropolis, Duke Red." -MAL

Happy Birthday to Us, by the way. This radio show went on the air six years ago, in mid-June of 2017. And here we are. Some of us, anyway. Welcome to the American Desert, where we’ve got a “champagne climate” (nine months of brutal summer), David Hockney’s hidden Pearblossom Highway artworks, and wild gunfights in the streets of yore. But springtime is very lovely, if you can catch it. With new…

All while I was growing up I wanted Strong Female Characters in my media, and I would go to libraries and video rental stores and Borders and ask for books with Strong Female Characters, and they would hand me Gone With The Wind.

And I would say, this lady isn't strong.

And they would say, but look at what she endures! Look at her character!!

And I, a child, would stare at the incredibly, woefully, cripplingly stupid individual saying this and decide they were simply too small-minded to understand what a Strong Female Character was.

Now, decades later and still immeasurably disappointed by the definition of a Strong Female Character, have come up with a way to say it that hasn't been claimed by idiots:

Can she kick my ass? No?

Port Nowhere was supposed to be relatively neutral ground, deep within space.

How a gunfight always seemed to break out when Korin was present was a weird coincidence. That was his story, he decided as he took cover beside an overturned pazaak table, and he was sticking to it.

Beside him, Risha had the exact same expression that she wore while lecturing her captain on his lack of focus or adult maturity or common sense. "How does this always happen when I go anywhere with you?" she complained.

"Let it not be said that I don't know how to show a lady a good time," Korin cheerfully said, and promptly got a smack on the arm. "Ow!"

"You deserved that," Risha retorted, turning her focus back to looking down the barrel of her sniper rifle. "Opening your mouth like that in front of one of the most influential commodores in the underworld… and who works for Rogun, might I add."

"How was I supposed to know that little detail?" Korin protested as he straightened up enough to fire a couple of shots over the edge of the table. A yell from a few metres away told him that he'd hit his target. "Not like he had a name tag on saying who he worked for or anything."

"Not that you would have read it before saying something insulting about his pazaak skills," Risha muttered. "Next time, do what I say and try to not overtly insult anyone."

"You have no sense of fun," Korin grumbled.

"I'm a balance to you and your excessive 'sense of fun'," Risha pointed out as she fired a few rounds off, downing her targets with deadly accuracy. “Serious question, but how have you survived as long as you have?”

“With charisma and wit and dashing good looks, obviously.” Korin ducked a return shot over his head and fired back in the direction of its origin. “And being a better shot than these morons.”

“... I’ll grant you being the better shot,” Risha grudgingly admitted. “And being good looking.”

“Would it kill you to say that like you mean it?”

“It might kill both of us to stay here much longer.” Risha risked a quick glance over the table, then looked at Korin and shook her head. “If you’re done shooting up the place…?”

“I’ve never used a gun before and I’m not about to start now.”
