HERE'S THE SWEETEST POST-WAR EARLY SPRING COAT THERE IS!
Don’t you love those great big buttons, dyed a pale mauve to match the lining of this coat? Also, those sweet bows on each sleeve and Peter Pan collar, paired with the always-necessary and convenient hip pockets – good design that makes this a wonderful true vintage garment. The wool shell is a rather loosely-woven fabric that provides warmth, but not enough for the weather we’re having now. But,…

electricity love/ first confession
Valentine day is coming near and Vox is deciding whether to confess or not 
Alastor on the other hand try’s to find out who’s Vox confessing too 
for radiostatic week 2024! this is talking place before TV’s was a big thing so like 1950’sih
——————————— 
“Oh Vox! Valentine’s Day is coming near~ any ideas who you’re asking?” Alastor watched as Vox finally finished up his Game show for the night 
As much as he hates TV, Alastor have a soft spot for the idiotic TV demon, maybe more then a soft spot… 
Nevertheless, all that matters to Alastor is making sure Vox doesn’t have anyone in mind for Valentine’s Day, which he doubts
“I do actual” Vox grin as walked over towards Alastor, grabbing his coat of the hanger
nevermind then
“What” Alastor normal voice peers though the static for a second before going back to ‘normal’ again 
“What? Thought I didn’t have anyone in mind?~” Vox joked, putting on his jacket he glanced over at Alastor with a questioning look
“W-well, since this person caught your eyes, mind telling me who it is” Alastor immediately try to regain what little composure he have left
Leaning on the stuff, Alastor try to look unaffected by the news “After all we are business partners” Alastor chuckles as Vox face turns purple 
“Am only giving you a hint, he’s a deer demon and likes radio shows” Vox look away trying to hide what little dignity he have left 
Alastor pause for a second, he almost thought it was him for a second but that idea was absurd, no way Vox wants someone who’s always stuck in the past
“Hmm, is this..someone I know?” Alastor asked carefully, even if it was him, which it not, he wanted to know who’s this man is! Maybe have a little visit
“Maybe, he’s quite popular” Vox shrugs, either Alastor really doesn’t know it him or he’s just playing games with Vox, maybe both?  
“Oh? What’s this young man’s name?” Alastor stand up straight, tilting his head to the left trying to get a glimpse of Vox face 
Vox on the other hand is having a gay panic attack, he look back at Alastor for a moment
“His name..starts with an ‘A’…” Vox said in a low voice, before Alastor can say anything Vox was already out the door 
“Hmmm, A deer demon that likes radio and have the latter A” Alastor hum an bit before making his way out the studio building 
“I wonder who this lucky fellow is” Alastor said before making his way home, his stuff appeared again as it play a familiar tune 
——————————— 
“God this is so stupid” Vox said quietly to himself, he was currently stand in front of Alastor house, holding a rose bouquet in one of his hands 
He was hesitating to knock on the door, it was Valentine’s Day and Vox was planing to confess 
But the way Alastor reacted yesterday give him second thoughts, it was obvious that he was going to confess to Alastor and if the deer demon somehow didn’t get the hint, which Vox highly doubt. 
Who else is a deer demon, who likes radio, and have the latter ‘A’ in the start of their name.
No one! 
So guessing from how Alastor reacted yesterday, he doubts Alastor feels the same way, after all the man likes old timey stuff while Vox on the other hand loves future technology 
Hell he even have a TV head to show it, it better to save himself the embarrassment 
Before Vox can turn around, Alastor open the door, he look surprised before softening his smile 
“I wasn’t expecting you to be here Vox! What bring you here old friend?” Alastor step outside and close the door behind him, he look down to see the flowers in Vox’s hands 
“Um, I, Here!” Vox look away as he shoves the bouquet into Alastor chest his screen fully purple 
“Oh?… OH!” It take a few seconds for Alastor to fully understand what Vox meant, His whole face is now red as he takes the roses from Vox hands 
A fond smile on his face as he looks down at the roses, careful not to touch the actual rose 
Vox look back when he felt the flowers move out of his hands, his face was still purple as he stares at Alastor wide eye 
“S-so that means?” 
“I like you too, Vox” 
Vox stay still for a moment his screen looks close to crashing before he take a deep breath 
Alastor just giggled before turning around and opening the door, carefully holding the rose in one hand
“Now let spend some time together, right dear?” Alastor said happily, Vox simply nodded as he step inside.

"I was pretending that I did not speak their language; on the moon we spoke a soft, liquid tongue, and sang in the starlight, looking down on the dead dried world." (We Have Always Lived In The Castle – Shirley Jackson, 1962)
the 1960s were also known as the swingin' sixties, and that name could not be more appropriate. while some other decades had moved towards comfort, the 1960's truly embraced it. some of the youth simply threw on a tunic and stepped into some pants and walked out the door! the popularity of television broadcasted different styles and trends across the country and the world. new materials like acrylics and polyesters were cheap to produce and to buy, and made fashion more accessible than it ever had been. the swingin' sixties brought the youth miniskirts, striped sweaters, the boxy "mod" look, and the bright, fun makeup associated with famous artists like twiggy. some older women tended towards the skirt + suit jacket combination worn by first lady jackie kennedy, but the comfort of the youth was appealing to all ages. beatnik fashion was also popular, with trim black trousers and dark sweaters. in 1964, hairspray was the most popular beauty product on the market – and it showed in the elaborate updos of the era. as the decade drew to a close, the "hippie" style was a popular look among the youth, with loose fitting tops and baggy pants, as well as maxi skirts. many of the hippies incorporated crafts into their fashion, with patchwork and beadings becoming popular.
this is only a very brief summary – the trends and influences of the 1960s are vast and complex, just as the 1960s themselves were. the social revolutions mirrored the revolutions in fashion, and i could write essays about it. but i am tired and i moved in today.

A (non)comprehensive evolution of the US Army field jacket, from 1945-2007. These are all original specimens, with or without optional items, and thus is incomplete before 1945, because using reproductions is never 1:1 and is cheating. (Unless its SMWholesale.)
1943-1953: M1943 Field Jacket, Civil Defense.
Pictured here is a Civil Defense variant, which outlived its military counterpart in service life. (This one is here because I haven't gotten around to focusing my autism on collecting them yet.)
1950-1953: M1950 Field Jacket.
An update to the M1943 with interior buttons for liners, a swing-out arm gusset and other improvements, mostly for making it more presentable for dress uniform. The M1950 makes its debut in Korea, is found wanting for actual combat, and within a year is superseded.
1951-1970s: Early M1951 Field Jacket.
A more field use oriented jacket, the M1951 introduces a zipper and snaps to the field jacket, while still retaining button in liners. The M51 survives Korea and enters Vietnam. Later production M51s can be discerned by white labels and green buttons, whereas early M51s have an ink stamp and brown, WW2 production buttons.
1965-1990's Early/Vietnam Era and Post-War OD M1965 Field Jackets.
The M65 iterates further on the field jacket, while adding additional features and simplifying manufacturing. most notably a stowable built-in wind hood and velcro wrist cuffs with stowed flaps to extend over gloves. The early Vietnam era M65s are distinguished by having 2 white cotton inkstamped labels, one on the neck, and one behind the right lower pocket, alongside aluminium zippers like the M51. Post-1973 M65s have brass zippers and either still retain the 2 labels, or have a single, larger label at the neck. (The Vietnam Era one here was acquired in Vietnam and was used in the war, and was repaired numerous times by many people until it found its way to me.)
1981-2008: Early and Late Woodland pattern M1965 Field Jackets.
The only significant difference on the early woodland M65 from its predecessors is its change to camouflage, entering service with the BDU in 1981, but served alongside the OD M65 all throughout the 80s and 90's, never fully replacing it. Early and Late Woodland M65s can be differentiated by a change from brass Talon zippers to green coated YKK zippers, and from white letterpressed or inkstamped labels to green letterpresses labels. (There is also the change of using woodland fabric to OD fabric in the hip pockets but that varies by manufacturer.)
1989-2008: 3 Color Desert M1965 Field Jacket.
A contract of 3CD M65s were made in 1989 for potential actions in desert areas around the globe, made to the same cut as the Late Woodland M65s with tan coated YKK zippers. Few made it in time to be issued in Desert Storm, among with the DCU, but saw more extensive issue in the rest of the 90s, and in Desert Shield, Iraq and Afghanistan. Another batch was made in Contract Year 2003, and changed the cut to the final iteration of the M65, without shoulder or nametape velcro. (I am too lazy to photograph this one right now.)
2004-2008: Universal Camouflage Pattern M65.
The last breath of the M65 in service to the US. By the time it was issued it was no longer competitive with other cold weather clothing systems, and many commands did not authorize them for dress uniform. Other parts of the M65 system were made in UCP, but befell the same fate. Velcro for shoulder patches and nametapes were added, and liners in the same color were even made for them. Only a single contact year was ever ordered, and by 2008 the M65 was phased out of service. Maybe, someone high up might get nostalgic, and order new ones to be made in the current camouflage for dress uniform, but if ever that happens, the story ends here.

An Alliance (Part 5)
Tumblr media
        Fem! Spy! (Y/N) x Yuri Briar
        Parts: One, two, three, four, current part, six, seven, eight,nine, ten (to be continued when Spy x Family has more Yuri content!)
        (Y/N) is given her own backstory that is important for the story!
        The setting for this story is based off West and East Germany's (because Spy x Family is heavily based off Germany in the 1940-1950) laws (or at least replicated to the best of my abilities since it's unknown what time period Spy x Family is exactly in, we'll go with 1950 for the sake of this story). 
        Historically-accurate women misogyny and mistreatment! Only small comments and historically-accurate laws (replicated to the best of my ability). 
        The story, plot, and settings might not match up to the Spy x Family manga as it's not completed and the manga is still being crafted.
        This series contains spoilers for the manga and anime!
Tumblr media
        We finally made it to the apartment his sister lived in. Yuri held a huge bouquet of flowers as we walked down the hallway. He stopped in front of the door as he spoke. 
        “My sister is married. If possible, pay close attention to him. His actions towards Yor and his wording. I refuse to allow Yor to marry someone who can’t treat her right.” Yuri huffed.
        “Okay…” I muttered, placing one of the briefcases I was carrying down, then knocked on the door for Yuri.
        The door opened as a blond haired man held it open, standing behind him was a black-haired woman.
        Ah, shit. I cursed in my head, my eyes widening as I quickly shook off the shock and fear so Yuri couldn't see.
        The blond didn't make any sort of indication of being surprised, but I could see it in his eyes that he was. I stepped aside so Yuri could handle the situation. The two men both held a firm handshake as he greeted us. 
        "Welcome!" the blond and the woman, Yor, greeted warmly.
        “Please, come in. Oh, let me take your coat and briefcases.” The blond suggested.
        “Thanks, but we’re fine.” Yuri spoke.
        I nodded, placing down the briefcases in the corner of the room. 
        "I'll whip something up real quick, so you all can go ahead and catch up." The blond smiled as he walked away from us.
        "Thank you..." Yuri gritted through his teeth, glaring at the blondie.
        "Gee, you must be nervous, Yuri." Yor smiled. 
        "I-I'm not nervous." Yuri spoke, handing her his flowers. 
        She put them in a tiny white vase that barely fit the flowers. Yuri sat down on a single couch-chair as I sat down on the couch, the closest I can be to him without him freaking out over it.
        "Thanks for the flowers, Yuri." Yor spoke.
        "Sure, but, don't think I've approved of your marriage, sis!" Yuri suddenly spoke up. "It's just too sudden! And why'd you keep it a secret from me for an entire year anyway? I need answers or I'll never approve." Yuri spoke.
        I looked at Yor expectedly, waiting for her answer as she nervously sweated. 
        Something's not right about her. I mean, she's pretty and sweet, just like what Yuri said, but her vibe is off. Plus, why didn't she tell her brother about the marriage? Though, he does seem very doting to her, so I wouldn't tell him either. Also, why is she sweating and not answering? 
        "Well? Why aren't you answering me?" Yuri questioned.         
        "Um... it's because." Yor paused. "I...just forgot to tell you!" she shouted.
        I looked at her dumbstruck as Yuri looked at her confused and a glass shattered in the kitchen.
        Don't say it. Don't call her a dumbass. Don't call her an idiot. Don't insult her otherwise my murder will be an accident by Yuri. 
        "Uh...okay...um..." Yuri spoke, unsure.
        "I just forgot!" she stated more firmer.
        "Wait, but what about that phone call the other day? When you mentioned a partner... Why didn't you just tell me then?" Yuri questioned, still slightly awestruck. 
        "Oh, um, that was... I forgot that I'd forgotten to tell you!" Yor smiled boldly. 
        Another glass in the kitchen shattered. It was quiet for a hot minute.
        I coughed, "Ack, st- ack upid!" I coughed into my elbow to muffle it.
        "Well, that explains it then. Sorry for being suspicious." Yuri smiled, a smile not too satisfied but not looking to pry more.
        I am surrounded by black-haired idiots. I thought, absolutely dumbfounded and resisting the urge to scream my profanities of this situation.
        How could he believe this? There's clearly something off! Unless this is just her usual behavior? I mean, he knows more about his sister than me, so maybe I'm just looking too into this?
        "You can be such a ditz sometimes, sis." Yuri laughed.
        "I'm sorry." Yor laughed back. "But what about you two? How long have you been married for? And why didn't you tell me?" she questioned, a curious expression on her face.        
        "You didn't tell her how we met?" I questioned, looking at Yuri as I laughed slightly.
        "Oh, I didn't? Sorry, sis. I guess forgetfulness runs in the family!" he laughed. "We actually met at a flower shop. Remember that bouquet I gave you last time I visited?" he questioned.
        "Yeah. That was... a little over a year ago! Around the time me and Loid got married!" Yor spoke, her face and smile brightening. "B-but we weren't living together at the time, so that's why you didn't see him before!"
        So his name is Loid for this mission? I thought. What a stupid name.
        "Yeah. At the time, she was currently working at the local bouquet shop I bought the flowers for. After that, I thought she was so pretty that I had to come again, but I was too nervous to go in and ask for a date, so instead I kept going to the shop for two months and buying flowers just to see her before she eventually asked for a date." Yuri chuckled, flustered as I smiled. "Then I saw that she stopped working at the bouquet. I was disappointed until I figured out she started working in Foreign Ministry, same as me, so it's a fateful coincidence! We got married last winter. It was a real small marriage and we're saving up for good rings because of the shortage in supplies lately." Yuri added.
        "Yeah. You should've saw him! He was so adorable with his red face and how he tried to avoid eye contact. I thought I was going to die by how cute he was! He also talked a lot about you. He really looks up to you and I'm glad he has a sister like you in his life." I giggled. 
        "Aw! That does sound like Yuri!" Yor giggled. "Do you have siblings?" she asked, looking at me.
        "Yes. Four of them. They're overseas though, same with my parents, so I rarely see them." I smiled. "Though I do like to visit when it's summertime there since they're in (country of origin)." 
        "Wow. That's a long way! I'm glad you have Yuri here to keep you company, he's such an amazing younger brother and he's so kind too!" Yor spoke. 
        Yuri blushed, seeming smug as he looked over at Twilight with an expression that said "see that? She's complimenting me! Not you!"
        "I'm also very lucky to have Loid and Anya in my life too." Yor spoke, causing Yuri to look at her furious and devastated at the same time.         
        I resisted the urge to chuckle, afraid Yuri would glare at me.
        Anya? I don't recall Yuri talking about someone named Anya, nor do I see them anywhere.
        "Sorry for the wait." Twilight spoke, setting down plates on the living room table. 
        I kindly regretted: it'd be rude, and there's no way I trust him, not after what's been going down. What if WISE found out about my whereabouts and what I've been doing in my past time? What if he's trying to poison me? I don't care how long he's known me, he probably values work more than my life.
        Yuri seemed mad that he intervened as he angrily took a bite of the food. He seemed to like it, which only pissed him off more as he shoved more food down his throat. 
        "Isn't Loid's food so good?" Yor gushed.
        "That reminds me, good thing I brought wine!" Yuri spoke, grabbing the wine bottle he placed on the floor on the table. 
        "Oh, thank you!" Twilight spoke.
        "So, how'd you two meet?" Yuri questioned.
        "Um... at, you know, the place..." Yor hesitated. 
        "At the boutique on third street." Twilight spoke up.
         "I was like, 'wow, this strange man's really staring at me, huh?'" I smiled at her wording.        
        Well, that doesn't sound that wholesome.
        "I mean, I was just charmed by her beauty..." Twilight quickly spoke. "Then we started having lunch together, and really hit it off." 
        "Lunch? When? Where? How many times? I want the names of the restaurants. How many trysts were there? Who proposed? What do you two call each other?" Yuri questioned.
        "Love, please. One question at a time. You don't want to suffocate them." I laughed nervously. 
        This seems like an interrogation, but strangely it's even more serious than the one with Jim. Better pay close attention to your head, Twilight. I thought, smiling. 
        "Huh? Well... 'Yor' I guess." Twilight spoke.
        "D-d-don't tell me you call him 'Loiloi' or 'lottie'?!" Yuri spoke, panicked as I laughed at his strange nicknames.
        "Huh? What?" Yor spluttered. 
        "AH! DAMN YOU, LOTTIE!" Yuri shouted, opening the wine and pouring himself a wine glass of it, then chugging it down.
        "I just call him Loid, like normal!" Yor shouted. 
        "Want some water?" Twilight offered, causing Yuri to shoot him a glare and growl.
        "DAMN IT ALL!" Yuri screamed, getting another glass and chugging it.
        "Slow down, Yuri!" Yor spoke.
        "Anyways, I hear you're a diplomat? That's impressive! Yor's always bragging about you, you know." Twilight smiled. 
        He started to tap on the table as Yuri looked dazed.
        Morse code? I thought.
        What are you doing here with her brother? The morse spoke.
        What are you doing here with his sister? I replied.
        "I heard from Dominque that you just got back from Hugaria? I'm so jealous." Yor smiled. 
        "Yeah, well, it was just a business trip." Yuri replied.
        I'm on a mission. The agency said they haven't heard from you. What happened? Twilight tapped.
        There's a mole. I answered.
        "But you're right, the city was beautiful. I wish could've showed you." Yuri smiled, his words slurred from the alcohol. 
        Light-weight. I smirked, before listening to Twilight's morse.
        What are you doing with Yuri though?
         Because he's my husband. I morsed, smiling at Loid as he looked at me with a expression not buying it.
        Listen, I quit being a spy. Tell Handler I quit. Some things happened and I realized I don't want to live like this forever. I want a family to love and enjoy. You understand, right?
        Twilight stopped talking after that, seeming to be in deep thought. 
        "They were cafes everywhere, and even an old shop they said the queen visits herself visits." Yuri spoke.
        "You mean the capital, Obuda? There are so many good restaurants nearby the embassy! I've been there before too, as part of my residency training." Twilight explained.
        "Oh? I especially liked this place called Kalpatia. The old man who runs it makes a stew to die for." Yuri spoke.
        "Ooh, I've been there! Is this wine from Hugaria too? I like it." Twilight questioned.
        For some reason, I'm getting deja vu from this conversation. Like I heard it before or read a book of it. Then, I remembered that hardcover book the Handler gave me in my early spy training.
        "Oh, that?" Yuri spoke. "I found it in a speciality store on Hedger way." 
        Crap. He already figured it out.
        "How much did it cost?" Twilight asked, following an exact question in the book.
        "Oh, not much, just 200 dalc or so." Yuri spoke naively.
        Dummy! You could've at least changed up your story for Hugaria! I screamed in my head. If I try to stop this now, then I'll look suspicious to Twilight. But he might already be suspecting that I'm working with the SSS if I'm still alive and married to an SSS member. I'm done for! I mentally cried as I changed my posture, trying to shake my nervousness off.
        "That's pretty expensive. Now I appreciate it even more." Twilight spoke. "We'll have to return the favor next time." 
        "Yeah, let's do that! Aren't you glad to have such a nice brother-in-law, Yuri?" Yor smiled. 
        Yuri stayed quiet, then stood up and slammed his hand on the table, causing both me and Yor to jump.
        "I told you, I don't approve of him. He's no brother of mine!" Yuri exclaimed.
        "You're being rude, Yuri!" Yor scolded. 
        "Yuri, sit down, please." I sighed, watching helplessly as he got mad. 
        If I stood up and did something, the alcohol might make him confess and blow our cover. We're both vulnerable at the moment. 
        "You're right, Loid Forger. I have an amazing job that can easily pay for expensive bottles of wine. And it's all thanks to my sister... for raising me on her own." Yuri spoke.
        Oh, right. He's an orphan too.
        "Without our parents, we were poor and couldn't even afford books or school supplies. But... she was always working herself bloody, just for me..." Yuri admitted. 
        I looked over at Yor, seeing her in a new light. Maybe she's not all that ditzy. 
        "That's when I decided. I'd have to become a reliable man as soon as possible, so I could protect her and my future family! My one and only blood relative, and my wife." Yuri confessed. 
        I looked at him shocked, surprised that he would mention me in his rant, especially since our marriage was fake, before realizing his was most likely talking about his one day real wife.
        "Do you get it? Nothing is more important to me than my family! So I'm not going to let some nobody swoop in and steal it all away from me!" Yuri spoke.
        "Yuri..." Yor spoke, moved by his words. 
        "I've always known she'd get married and find happiness someday. But if her husband can't protect her even better than me, then what's the point?!" Yuri questioned.
        Why does he sound like my dad from back then? I thought.
        "That mean's you, Lottie!" Yuri declared, pointing a finger at Twilight. 
        "I...I love Yor just as much as you do. Our daughter really loves her too. As far as I'm concerned, she's already family. So whether I had to take a bullet or a nuke, I'm prepared to give my life for her." Twilight spoke.
        What a bad liar. All this just for a mission. I thought to myself. 
        "T-that's just talk, you liar! You've got the face of a liar, liar!" Yuri shouted, taking a step forward and hitting his knee on the table, knocking down the glass of water Twilight offered him earlier.
        "Jeez, Yuri! You've always been so careless!" Yor sighed, taking a napkin to the table.
        "It's fine, Yor. Let me get that." Twilight spoke, his hand reaching forward. 
        Both their hands touched as they looked flustered, then immediately pulled away, avoiding eye contact. Yuri and I stared blankly, before I started to chuckle.
        They’re acting like they’re not married. I thought to myself.
        “Huh…? Haven’t you two been living together for a year…? All that just from touching hands? Are you sure you’re married?” Yuri questioned.
        They could be played off as an awkward couple who doesn’t like to show PDA. I thought. Well, what’s your move, Twilight?
        “C-c’mon, we’re always lovey-dovey!” Twilight smiled nervously, holding up a framed photo of him and Yor. 
        “Y-yeah!” Yor chirped, helping hold the picture with Twilight.
        Seriously?! I screamed in my head. Out of all the excuses you could’ve used! You went with that?! He lost his flare!
        “Smells fishy.” Yuri spoke. “If you’re really a married couple, then prove it!” he demanded.
        “Huh…? We have our marriage certificate…” Twilight suggested.
        “NOT LIKE THAT!” Yuri shouted. “Kiss each other. Right here right now.” 
        “WHAT?!” Yor, Twilight, and I shouted.
        “Yuri, you’re going too far!” I spoke, standing up from the couch to glare at him. 
        I trust Twilight is doing this mission for good, so I cannot let their cover be blown (no matter how much I'd enjoy seeing the top spy fail, my pettiness is less important than peace itself).
        “What? If they’re lovers, this should be easy!” Yuri spoke.
        “Um…but. In front of you?” Yor spoke, embarrassed.
        “Do you want us to make out in front of your big sister? Huh, Yuri?” I questioned, causing his face to heat up.
        “No! That’s my sister!” he shouted.
        “So why should they kiss in front of you?” I questioned.
        “But it’s just one kiss for them!” Yuri spoke, trying to justify this. “Just one kiss, and I’ll let it go. But if you can’t, I’m going down to city hall to get this marriage annulled."
        It was quiet for a second before Loid spoke up. “Well, if you’re okay with it.”
        "What?" I spoke out.
        “Huh?!” Yor shouted. “Hold on, Loid!”
        I stared, shocked at what I’m about to witness. Twilight, actually kissing a girl? I never seen this in all I've known him (Fiona would be jealous)!
        “Hey, hold on! You don’t have to do it!” I exclaimed, my face going red from the secondhand-embarrassment. 
        “We’ll just do it like we always do, Yor. C’mon.” Loid spoke, trying to convince her. 
        They moved closer as I adverted my gaze to Yuri. He's really serious about this!
        “Shall we?” Loid spoke.
        “H-hold on just a moment please!” Yor spoke, taking the wine bottle and drinking straight out of it. “Okay, let’s do this.” She spoke.
        How the hell did she get drunk that fast?! What kind of breed are the Briars?! I thought to myself.
        They started to whispered to each other, pissing Yuri off.
        “What’s with all this whispering?!” he shouted. “Can you do this or not? If you’re a real couple, then show me!” 
        A fork went flying through the air, stabbing the wall right next to Yuri. He was bleeding from a small cut on his cheek since the fork grazing him.
        WHAT BREED IS THE BRIARS?!
        “Shut it, Yuri! We’re about to show you the depth of our love!” Yor scolded. “Close your eyes, darling. I’m coming in.” She spoke on top of Loid.
        I immediately turned around, closing my eyes tight and covering my ears as I screamed “Too lewd!” 
        I didn’t turn around until I felt the ground shake from a vibration like someone falling. I turned around and uncovered my ears to see Yuri on the ground bloody.
        “Oh no! Yuri, are you—“ Yuri quickly stood up from Yor’s words, a pissed off expression on his face.
        I don’t like this place. I thought to myself. I don’t think I like Yor either, she’s scary.
        “I get it now, Yor.” Yuri spoke.
        “Get what?” Yor questioned.
        “That strong reaction to me stopping your kiss… I get how eager you are to smear your lips all over that creep!” Yuri sniffed, tears swelling up in his eyes. “I was a fool to think I was testing you. When what was really being tested all along was… My own feelings!” Yuri sobbed drunkenly.
        It’s not that serious, I thought to myself, stepping towards Yuri and hugging him. However, I still have to play my own wife role.
        “There, there, love. You’re always so emotional.” I smiled, reaching up and petting his hair as he wailed loudly.
        I’m so gonna blackmail him for this.
        “Uh…listen, you’re bleeding.” Twilight spoke, ignored by Yor and Yuri.
        I moved away once Yuri stopped crying, no longer needing comfort as he spoke.
        “For now, Loid Forger… my sister’s lips are yours.” Yuri stated.
        “What?!” Yor panicked. “How can you say stuff like that?!” she shouted, then slapped Yuri hard enough to knock him back into the wall and tilt the picture.
        “Oh my god! What the hell?!” I cried out, rushing to Yuri’s aid.
        Psychos! Psychos! Twilight, get ahold of your damn wife! I screamed in my head.
        I helped Yuri stand up, balancing him as he swayed, even more blood pouring down his face.
        “I’ve let you win this round, Loid Forger, but remember—“ Yuri spoke, only to get cut off by Yor.
        “Are you okay, Yuri? You’re swaying.” Yor spoke, stepping closer to her brother.
        I got him off me, letting her take care of him instead.
        “Should I call you two a taxi?” Yor questioned as she placed one of his hands over her shoulder to properly balance him. 
        "We're fine, Yor. You don't have to baby us." Yuri stated.
        “I can just drive him back.” I spoke, not exactly knowing where Yuri lives but I’ll figure it out.
        They both kept swaying, almost falling if it wasn’t for Twilight.
        “Woah, there!” Twilight spoke, catching them.
        “What are you grinning about? Does my humiliation amuse you?!” Yuri shouted.
        Seriously. You're still trying to pick a fight? I thought, sighing as I watched the three of them. 
        A part of me feels jealous. They really look like a family. Family will fight all they want, but their true colors will show one way or another, and everyone will know how much they care. 
        I wish I still had a family to love and care for. I thought. 
        I felt my face contort into sadness as tears swelled up in my vision (ones I quickly wiped so no one could see, there's no way I'm going to cry in front of Yuri, or god forbid, Twilight).
        “Oh, no…” Twilight spoke, answering Yuri’s question. “I was just admiring what wonderful siblings you are. You two have supported each other through so much.” 
        “Yuri, thank you for all that you’ve done to protect your sister. I know it can’t have been easy for you.” Twilight smiled. “Now you’ll have me supporting her with all my strength as well. Let’s work together to give Yor the happiness she deserves.” 
        Yeah. He had definitely gone soft… 
        “WHO THE HELL SAID YOU COULD TOUCH ME?!” Yuri shouted, moving away from Twilight.
        “Yuri, careful!” I exclaimed, a tired sigh escaping my mouth as I grabbed his coat and our briefcases.
        “We’re going home!” Yuri shouted, grabbing my hand and rushing to the door.
        “Come back and visit anytime! I know Yor would like that. Next time make sure to get here when my daughter’s awake.” Loid spoke.
        Ah, Anya is his niece-in-law!
        “Anya tried so hard to wait up for you. She’s so adorable—I know you’ll love her.” Yor smiled.
       “Oh, I’ll be back! But not because you invited me! It’ll be to find the proof that you duped my sister into marrying you!” Yuri shouted, pointing an accusing finger at Twilight. “Listen up, Loid Forger! If you make my sister cry so much as a single tear… I will have you ex—“ 
        I whipped my to look at him, wide-eyed.
        “Er… I mean. What I’m saying is…” he stammered. “Just remember that!” Yuri shouted, taking off down the hallway and hitting the wall.
        “Thanks for having us!” I shouted.
        “Have a safe trip home! Nice meeting you!” Yor shouted.
        “Yuri..." I huffed, causing him to look at me. “Stop picking fights when you’re in no shape to!” I shouted, grabbing his face and pulling it to eye-level. "You're not allowed to drink unless we're at home, do you understand? And the next time you pick a fight with Loid, I'll shove my foot up your ass since you wanna be one!" I shouted.
        He looked at me, eyes blown wide as he nodded, showing he understood me. 
        "Good. Now, how do we get home?" I questioned. 
        "Uh. Go forward outta here, then... left." Yuri directed, looking out the window.
        I strapped my seatbelt on and waited for him to buckle his. I glared at him for half a minute before he spoke.
        "Why aren't we moving?" he questioned.
        "Safety first. Put your seatbelt on, otherwise this car won't move." I stated. 
        "Ugh. I don't wanna..." he complained, yet grabbed the seatbelt and fidgeted with it. "Can't." He spoke, giving up after a few seconds of missing the buckle.
        I sighed, rolling my eyes as I smiled. 
        "Yuri, Yuri, what will you do without me?" I questioned.
        "Live." He spoke.
        "It was rhetorical. But thanks for letting me know where I stand." I huffed, reaching over and grabbing his seatbelt. 
        "Am I supposed to die too?" he questioned, tipsy as he looked at me with half-lidded eyes. 
        "No. I'm just messing with you." I chuckled, buckling his seatbelt and sitting back in my seat.
        I started the car and drove out, turning left. Yuri directed me on the way, making a few wrong turns but at least he knew and told me so we didn't get lost.
        "Go right, then straight." He sighed, hitting his head on the window.
        "Careful. I don't want you breaking the window and falling out." I joked, grabbing his arm and pulling him towards me so he wouldn't get hurt.
        "Turn right now." He directed, resting his head on my shoulder. 
        I ignored my heartbeat as I made the turn, Yuri still tipsy and mumbling nonsense every now and then. He mumbles things I would laugh and entertain him.
        When he spoke about imaginary trains, I questioned what noise they make, and he yelled loudly "Choo-choo!" causing me to laugh loudly as he smiled. He spoke about seeing a black cat and questioned if he was gonna get bad luck for the rest of his life, I told him that was the cars shadow.
        There was a point where he suddenly broke down crying and when I stopped the car to look at him worriedly, he shouted "are you pregnant!?" I looked at him confused before laughing and saying no. "Then whose Anya?!" he cried. "that's your niece, right?! Yor's child!" I laughed. "Yor has a child?!" he cried louder as I laughed. "My tears amuse you?!" he cried. "No! I just think your face is so pretty that I just have to laugh because I love it." I lied. "Oh. I'm pretty?"he questioned. "Yes, Yuri." I laughed, driving the car back on the road. 
        "In a minute, go left." He spoke, "then take the other left and you'll get to the apartment." 
        "Are you sobering up?" I questioned.
        "No..." He muttered. "I'm tired though."
        "Good. I don't have to drag you to bed." I smiled.
        I made the turn as he spoke: "When we got in the car, were you mad?" 
        "A little; I'm fine now." I admitted. 
        He stayed quiet for a second before speaking up. "You're hot when you're mad." 
        "Thanks." I laughed, thinking it was the alcohol talking. "You're hot when you're mad too." I then paused, thinking. "Is that why you're always pissing me off?" I questioned, looking at him.        
        "It's a secret~" he spoke in a sing-song tone as I laughed. 
        "Okay. You keep your secrets and I keep mine." I smiled.
        Sometimes, it's hard to forget me and Yuri are supposed to be enemies. We're from two separate sides of the war, yet here we are, laughing and flirting together like there's no tomorrow. I wonder, if the war never existed, would we have ever met? Could we have had something real if this war didn't exist?
        "We're here, Yuri. Get up." I spoke, unbuckling my seatbelt and turning off the car.
        He groaned, trying to unbuckle his seatbelt and luckily succeeded. He opened the car door and almost fell out if it wasn't for me running over and catching him. 
        "Come on. We're almost there." I pointed out as he staggered.
        I grabbed his arm and placed it over my shoulder, lucky that he was bending down so I could lead him without having to walk on my tippy-toes. We walked to the lobby and into the elevator. I pressed the button and fought through the wave of nausea as Yuri panicked.
        "I'm going to puke. Is this how you feel in elevators? I'm so sorry." He groaned, covering his mouth with his hand.
        "We're almost here, love." I laughed, waiting for the door opened. 
        The door finally opened as Yuri walked, swaying side to side from the mix of alcohol and nausea from the elevator. We made it to the door and I grabbed the apartment keys from his pocket. I carried him to our room and set him down on the bed.
        "Are you going to shower or not?" I questioned. 
        "No." He immediately answered. 
        "Okay, then take off your shirt." I spoke, walking to the bathroom and searching through the cabinets.
        "I would, but I'm drunk so it's illegal even if I do give consent." He spoke. "If you go to jail, I won't have anyone to do my job for me." Yuri spoke.
        "Okay. Number one: rude. Number two: you're a perv 'cause we're not doing that, I'm attending to your wounds your sister inflicted." I spoke, finding the first-aid kit and grabbing it, grabbing a towel and wetting it too.
        "It's okay. She broke my ribs once by hugging me too tightly." He admitted.
        I don't doubt it. What the hell is her strength from? I thought to myself as I walked over and made him sit up as he complained about not wanting to.
        "Lift your arms." I ordered.         
        "Okay..." He muttered.
       I grabbed his white shirt and pulled it over, finding a random shirt from his drawer. I ignored for the time being of how much it'll be a pain to remove the blood from his shirt, and threw the shirt at him. 
        "Put that on in just a second, I need to clean your face first." I stated. 
        "Okay." He complied. 
        I grabbed the wet towel and dabbed his forehead, gently getting rid of all the dried blood that tried sticking to his head.
        "Your sister sure is strong." I commented. 
        "She's always been strong. Once, she broke my ribs from hugging me too tight." Yuri spoke.
        "I know, you told me just a minute ago." I spoke.        
        "Oh." He spoke.
        I finished wiping the blood off him and placed two bandages on each cheek and gauze wrapped around his forehead tightly. 
        "There. You look..." I paused.
        Like total shit.
        "Great." I smiled. "Now, stay here and I'll go get you stuff for that hangover you'll get." 
        "Aw... Crap." He groaned, throwing his arm over his eyes to cover the light as he fell back on the bed. "I forgot about getting a hangover. I have work tomorrow. I don't wanna work with a hangover!" he whined. 
        I walked out of the bedroom, fetching a glass of water and snooping through the cabinets for pain relievers. 
        I can't believe he's an extreme light-weight. He seems to get drunk after just one sip.
        I sighed, taking the supplies to the bedroom and placing it on the bedside table. I looked over and noticed Yuri dead asleep on the bed with his chest still exposed.
        "I told you to put on the shirt..." I grumbled, sighing as I grabbed my pajamas and walked to the bathroom, quickly changing my clothes and brushing my hair and teeth. 
        I walked out and crawled onto the bed, getting behind Yuri and grabbing his arms. I pulled his body snug to my chest, grabbing the shirt and muttering complaints in my head as I fitted him into the gray shirt with a blush coating my face. I sighed, dragging him up further in the bed and tucking him under the covers.
        “And you said that you’re the one babysitting me…” I sighed, looking at his peaceful sleeping face.
        He’s not faking it this time. I thought. Most likely it’s from the alcohol, not from him trusting me just yet.
        I sighed, grabbing Flower and holding her in my arm as I took off my glasses (if you have them) and placed it next to the water glass and pain relievers. I got up from the bed and walked to the light switch, turning it off and crawling back into bed.
        The unnerving silence drug me into my thoughts, allowing me to recall todays events in hopes of escaping my loneliness in the dark.
        Twilight looked happy, and Yor was so sweet. They seem happy together. I thought to myself. I feel…happy for Twilight, but also jealous. Me and Yuri fight a lot; I don’t think there’s ever been a moment where he was genuinely nice to me. But that's expected, he's the enemy. 
        I sighed, turning on my side. 
        I try to be nice to him, but he really pisses me off. He’s lucky I haven’t punched his teeth in yet—and it’s only the end of the second day of this. That's right, only the second day. Tomorrow is a new day to try and earn his trust. Then what?
        I decided to stop thinking about that, allowing myself to pick up different thoughts. 
        I’m not sure I’m on any side of this war. I ditched Westalis, and now I’m in Ostania, but I don’t want to use brute force and fear as a way to coax people into listening to me... Speaking of Westalis, I hope Twilight gave the message back to the Handler and she reacted well. I thought, fearful of her wrath.
        I decided to think back to memories I always tried my best to avoid.
        I think the reason me and Twilight don’t get along that well, is because we’ve both seen each other’s weakness, from long ago.

Angel Dust redesign: Angelino 'Angel'
Angel was a (once closeted) member of a mafia family that was wiped out by a rival family in the 1950's. When Angelino and his family were sentenced to Infernus [Hell], their bodies were transformed into spider-like demons as penance for the web of crimes they had woven. Post-death, Angel had explored his sexuality and became more comfortable with himself and his appearance. He's often seen with a transparent sheer nightgown coat and a long cigarette holder.
Angel is more feminine compared to his sister. Angel's color scheme is pink, and under black light, he has hot-pink dots and stripes that are black light fluorescent. Molly [new name undecided] is more butch and masculine, while fluorescing blue under black light; Arackniss is the most androgynous of the bunch, and fluoresces purple under black light.

LET'S GO UPTOWN AGAIN IN A BEAUTIFUL 1950'S CASHMERE(?) COAT WITH MINK COLLAR
Our investigator is a quick-change artiest, no? Never would she be suspected of having spent last evening in a dance hall, being thrown over the heads and through the legs of downtown boys and laughing all the way. Nope, this lady’s got a pedigree even though she’s not associated with any old family name. The only identification remaining is a Union Garment Workers tag. But, we know that some…
