TOKKEN

Title: TOKKEN

Subtitle: Kyuumei Girls’ High School Truth Of Kooky Konundrums Enquiry

Theme Song: NAZO-NAZE Jumping!

Story

In a high school known as Kyuumei Girls’ High, four girls run an unofficial club known as the Truth Of Kooky Konundrums Enquiry (TOKKEN for short) [1], where they do whatever strikes their fancy. The four of them investigate (and sometimes discover) various mysteries around the school. But as they uncover the truths behind these phenomena, even stranger things occur...

Characters

Akane (Original CV. Mahoro Miyaji)

A member of the school’s Green Space Conservation Committee, she tends to the flowers in the school gardens everyday.

Her family owns a flower shop, so she’s well-versed in the language of flowers.

She’s earnest and kindhearted, but can also be quite stubborn.

She absolutely adores cats. As soon as she lays her eyes on one, no matter what kind it is, she will unfailingly shower it in affection.

Kaori (Original CV. Riko Hinakura)

The sensible one in TOKKEN. She has a strong sense of justice, but isn’t exactly the bravest one around.

She tries her best to rein in Akane and Sachi’s antics, and is the one who tries to find the logical explanation to things.

She has a black belt in karate. (Through hardly any effort on her part; it was all genetics and natural talent.)

However, she is scared of the dark.

Sachi (Original CV. Miharu Yomine)

TOKKEN’s club president. Quiet and measured, but she knows a lot about a lot of things.

Rarely shows her emotions on her face. She’s childhood friends with Akane and Kaori.

She can list every suspected paranormal event in history, as well as the date on which they occurred.

An avid fan of all things occult, her dream is to move to America and live in Roswell, New Mexico. [2]

Tao (Original CV. Aya Kamuro)

A big sister and leader figure for the other three members of TOKKEN. She has a strong sense of justice, and is adept at practically every sport.

She tends to act first and think later. The baseball and soccer clubs have been persistently trying to scout her since she started school.

She can’t say no to helping people in trouble, even if it means sticking her neck into dangerous situations.

She’s not in TOKKEN out of any particular interest in the occult per se, but more so to help those in need.

Notes

[1]: The name Tokken is originally an abbreviation of “tokushu kenkyuukai" (特殊研究会), which directly translates to something like "Special Research Institute".

[2]: Roswell is famous for the 1947 Roswell UFO incident.

Tokken grammar (Raymontok i Montokken): pronouns

The pronominal system of Tokken is fairly simple. There is no distinction between formal and informal pronouns (although the formal term of address Pan can be used as a respectful second- or third-person pronoun), nor is there a gender distinction, so there is no difference between “he” or “she”. The pronouns are the only words that must show plurality with the plural marker -ya. With regular nouns, this is always optional.

One important feature of Tokken pronouns is clusivity: that is, whereas English has just one ambiguous word for “we”, Tokken has two. One is exclusive, excluding the listener: “we but not you”; and the other is inclusive, including the listener: “you and I, we and you, all of us”. This feature is found in many languages in various families. Consider the following sentences: Simi a dew sal tom kom. [we.inclusive-AUX-should-go.out-take-food] “We should go out to eat.” (i.e. you and me, all of us) Miya a kan sal tom kom, si ma wel moy? [we.exclusive-AUX-look.at-go.out-take-food | you-AUX-want-join] “We are going out to eat, do you want to join us?” (i.e. we but not you)

Here are the Tokken personal pronouns.

mi “I, me”

miya “we (but not you)”

simi (this was inspired by Tok Pisin yumipela) “you and I, we and you, all of us.” It should be noted that although on their own si and mi refer to one person, this pronoun can refer to more than two people.

si “you (one person)”

siya “you, y’all (more than one person)”

o “he, she”

oya “they”

Theoretically, there is also a pronoun osimi, which means “I/we, he/she/they, and you”.

The third person pronouns o, oya should for the most part only be used for people. The English pronoun it would be translated either with a demonstrative such as “this” (sara) or “that” (nera), or with no word at all. This is especially the case in circumstances where it doesn’t actually refer to something specific, but is just a placeholder because English grammar requires it. For example: A ben di ga, [AUX-come-be-hot] “It is getting hot”. Here, there is no overt subject; this sentence means literally “Is getting hot”. If you said O a ben di ga, this would mean “he/she is getting hot”, referring to a specific person, and Sara a ben di ga would be “this one is getting hot”, again referring to something specific.

Possessive adjectives are formed with the preposition i, which indicates possession. So ketap i mi means “my book” or “book of me”. This can also be omitted, giving ketap mi, which has the same meaning as ketap i mi. Possessive pronouns are formed with the noun ra, which means “thing, item, entity, etc.”; ra i mi “mine; my one”. Sara an sak i si, ra i si a puk. “This isn’t your bag, yours is red.”

Pronouns can be used as determiners similarly to sa “this” and ne “that”. In this case, they precede the noun. miya nay’gihok “us teachers; we, the teachers” o in “he/she, that person; the person that is he/she” mi rak i si  “I, your sibling”
