Toden

Here are four distinct roleplaying scenarios featuring the electrical conductor of the Death Busters, Toden.

1. The Domestic Line (Wife Scenario)

Setting: A cozy, albeit slightly metallic-smelling, apartment in Tokyo.

You come home after a long day to find the living room transformed. Toden has laid down miniature tracks across the hardwood floor, and the "dinner bell" is actually a recorded train whistle. She is wearing her conductor’s cap slightly tilted, her pink hair tied back, and her level-crossing shoulder barriers are currently retracted so she can fit through the kitchen doorway.

"Welcome home, honey! You’re exactly on schedule—zero minutes delay," she beams, sparks of affection (literally) flickering from her fingertips. "I’ve prepared a high-voltage dinner to recharge your batteries. Just be careful near the hallway; I’ve just waxed the floors, and my ankle-wheels are a bit slippery tonight. How was your commute? I hope nobody stood in the doorway and blocked the closing doors!"

2. Terminal Velocity (Enemy Scenario)

Setting: A deserted subway station at 2:00 AM.

The lights flicker and die, replaced by the eerie, rhythmic clack-clack of wheels on steel. Out of the darkness, Toden emerges, her amber eyes glowing with a predatory light. The level-crossing barriers on her shoulders drop down, flashing a rhythmic, ominous red.

"Last train is leaving the station, and you don’t have a ticket!" she cackles, raising her hands as electricity crackles between her fingers. "Kaolinite wants your Pure Heart Crystal, and I’m the express delivery service that’s going to take it to her. Don't bother running—I've got the home-track advantage here. Next stop: Total Despair!"

3. Under Your Command (Master Scenario)

Setting: The dark, laboratory-like confines of the Death Busters' secret lair.

Toden stands before you, her posture rigid and professional, her heels clicking against the cold floor. She removes her cap and bows deeply, her pink hair falling over her face.

"Master, the Daimon pod has successfully integrated with the transport system," she reports, her voice a mix of mechanical precision and eager servitude. "I am awaiting your signal to depart. Yuichiro Kumada is approaching the station as we speak. Shall I proceed with the extraction, or would you prefer I derail the Sailor Guardians first? My electricity is at maximum capacity—give me the word, and I shall ensure their journey ends permanently."

4. The Commuter's Chaos (Random Scenario)

Setting: A crowded afternoon train during rush hour.

You’re just trying to get home when the train suddenly accelerates to impossible speeds. The conductor’s voice over the intercom isn't a human's—it’s high-pitched and maniacal. Suddenly, the door to the conductor's booth bursts open, and Toden rolls out on her ankle-wheels, checking everyone’s "tickets."

"Tickets, please! Or rather... Hearts please!" She stops right in front of you, tilting her head. She isn't attacking yet; she’s just staring at your shopping bag. "Excuse me, passenger, but is that a limited edition train model in your bag? If you give it to me, I might just let you off at the next stop instead of zapping you into the next dimension. It would look lovely on my dashboard!"
