SFX interview with Pedro Pascal

The latest issue (Jan. 2021) of SFX magazine carries a 2-page interview, which took place after the S2 premiere (technically right after The Passenger). It’s pretty good, and insightful given what took place.

This Charming Mando

Shortly after the launch of the second episode of season two, SFX caught up with the Mandalorian himself, Pedro Pascal, speaking from Budapest.

words: Adam Tanswell

There are tons of fun and interesting ways that The Mandalorian ties into Star Wars canon. Are you aware of all the Easter eggs when you’re working on the show?

There’s plenty that are pointed out to me and there’s plenty that are obvious, but I think it would be impossible for me to remember them all. On top of the Easter eggs, what I love the most is the reference to very speciﬁc genres of cinema.

Can you give us an example of that from the second season?

For season two, the set of the second episode [“The Passenger”] was the ﬁrst set that I walked on to. It was this shipwrecked Razor Crest on this snowy set, and I’d seen the illustrations of the spiders that were so incredible. The spiders hatching out of those eggs were right out of Alien. Working on the show ﬁres off all of these references to me. And then, of course, there are the speciﬁc references to the Star Wars past as well. It’s impossible to keep up with everything, but it’s endlessly fascinating.

What did you enjoy the most about working on the ﬁrst episode of season two, “The Marshal”?

Working with Timothy Olyphant and being on Tatooine with Jon Favreau was incredible. I don’t know if I’m allowed to say this, but you wouldn’t believe the kind of rehearsal that the three of us had early on for that episode, in order to understand and block a sequence. You know the scene where we’re in the bar and then we step out to the main square of the town to see the Krayt Dragon? We had to rehearse it virtually ﬁrst. We put on these mechanisms [VR headsets] with remote controls where we were literally able to be in a virtual world. We were actually able to rehearse it all before getting on the set. We were able to physically block the scene, which was crazy to me.

How would you describe the relationship between the Mandalorian and the Child in season two?

Through all of the action, adventure and special effects of the show, the core of it is this relationship between the Mandalorian and the Child. In spite of, and within, the largeness of it all, their story gets more intimate and deeper, which is the ultimate risk for somebody like the Mandalorian. It’s a huge risk to be vulnerable and to develop attachments, so it’s a very special relationship that we see unfold this year.

How does it feel to share the spotlight with the Child?

Honestly, it’s been an amazing experience because you get to witness a very, very unique show come to life. This isn’t my diplomatic answer; I mean this sincerely. To be part of a project like this is a unique experience for everyone, but I don’t think it’s appropriate for me to take the position as the central star because it’s not just me. There’s the Child and many, many others involved. There’s the incredible Industrial Light & Magic people, who have created this character of the Child that everyone has fallen in love with. Plus, there’s the production design team and every single department that’s involved in creating this experience, along with Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni, who are the ultimate parents of this show.

Talking of whom, what’s it like to work with Jon Favreau and Dave Filoni at the helm on a day to day basis?

The success of the show is because of their storytelling skills, as well as their fascination and their very, very, very pure love of Star Wars. It’s funny, because I have to ﬁgure out to the best of my abilities where I can contribute to achieve the success of it in every way. I saw images for the show when they were ﬁrst talking to me about the project. Back then, I saw illustrations of the Child and it was the reason why I said yes to the project.

Have there been any changes to your iconic costume in season two to make it more comfortable for you?

The costume actually got a little heavier in season two. We ended the ﬁrst season with him upgrading his armour. In order to have a more cinematic shine on the breastplate, it meant that some pieces were a little heavier than last year’s version

What are the themes and underlying messages of the second season that resonate with you the most?

These are very classic tales of good and evil, and how it all exists inside of us. It’s also about the journey towards the light, if that makes any sense. With my character speciﬁcally, I love that there’s this ruthless person whose physical identity is kept from the world around him – and possibly a psychological identity that’s kept from himself – but he starts to discover himself through this relationship with a vulnerable but very powerful creature. He follows his heart and does the right thing, no matter how it is against one’s practice or creed or what’s convenient. For me, that would be the prevailing message. It’s a much more intimate message than the broad strokes that can be painted onto the story as a whole. On a basic level, it’s about ﬁghting for good.

It’s a huge deal to be such an iconic part of the Star Wars universe. Were you ready for the fame and attention that comes along with a project like this?

To be honest, I think it would be challenging for any human being. I’ve certainly been navigating how to honour being part of something as iconic as this to the best of my ability. It’s deﬁnitely a challenging, intimidating and exciting experience. It’s all of those things.

You play an iconic hero in The Mandalorian, but who were your heroes when you were growing up?

I had so many heroes. I would have to say my parents are my obvious heroes for ushering in the introduction of so many heroes, either through cinema or literature. And I continue to add more and more people to the list. As a child, Indiana Jones was deﬁnitely my personal hero. And as I got older, I remember the writer James Baldwin really, really inﬂuenced my mind and my life. I introduced myself to his writing when I was around 19 years old and he has deﬁnitely been a hero to me.

How does it feel to be a Star Wars hero?

I think it’s a beautiful thing because I can see the effect of a show like this on the children of my friends. It isn’t anything like I’ve experienced before. I love to see the look on their face if their parents tell them, “This is the Mandalorian”. There’s usually some confusion at ﬁrst, because there isn’t a lot of association to this face as far as the role is concerned – but they seem to understand that somebody needs to be behind the mask. It’s somebody’s voice and it’s somebody’s limbs. It’s a magical feeling to see children’s eyes light up like that. If only I could carry around the Child everywhere, then I would really be winning!

Would definitely recommend buying the issue if you can, print or digital (via Zinio or any other platform), to show your support.

part thirteen | part fifteen | masterlist

zuko x fem!reader

avatar: the last airbender

includes - you, zuko, suki, katara, toph, sokka, and aang

special appearances by - iroh, azula, appa, and mai

warnings - language, angsty, mentions of sex

“what if they don’t like me?” you asked nervously.

“they, will. azula’s opinion doesn’t matter, and my uncle loves you,” zuko said.

“alright,” you smiled. “i’m ready.”

zuko leaned over and kissed your cheek. “you’ll be great.”

you smiled and stepped out of his car, wrapping your coat around you. zuko and you walked up to his house, holding hands. you had the cupcakes you made in the other hand, and zuko had the gifts you two bought in his other hand. the door opened quickly, revealing iroh.

“hello! come in, come in,” iroh smiled.

“hi, iroh,” you smiled.

“hello, y/n. it is so nice to see you again. i was wondering when my nephew would finally ask you out,” iroh said.

zuko rolled his eyes. “well, i did it.”

“yes, and we’re all happy. hm, you brought cupcakes! you can put those on the kitchen table,” iroh said.

you nodded and left zuko’s side for a moment, going into the kitchen and seeing a few more of zuko’s family members.

“you must be y/n. i’m azula, zuko’s sister.” a pretty, young woman came up to you. she looked so much like zuko; basically a female version.

“hi, it’s nice to meet you,” you smiled and held your hand out. azula shook it, giving you a welcoming smile.

you felt a hand snake around your waist and looked to see zuko standing behind you. you smiled at him, metling into his embrace.

“zuko, you didn’t tell me your girlfriend was so pretty,” azula complimented.

“thank you,” you smiled.

“he could do better,” a mono-toned voice said. it belonged to a girl- zuko’s age. she had black hair, a red dress on, and a cold glare that she directed towards you.

“mai, don’t be so rude,” azula frowned.

“and don’t be so nice, zul,” mai said.

“oh, you’re mai?” you said, your mood dimming a little. “it’s, um, nice to meet you.”

“likewise,” mai gave you a strained smile. she then looked to zuko.

you stiffened as you saw the look she gave him. zuko noticed your reaction and pulled you closer, interlocking hands.

“want to get a drink with me, zuzu?” mai asked.

“nope, i’m good. i’d rather get a drink with y/n,” zuko said.

“ugh, fine. you’ll regret saying no,” mai grimaced, walking away.

“sorry about her, she’s still in love with zuko. if you ask me, you two are cuter together,” azula said.

“thank you,” you smiled gratefully at her.

“yeah, thanks, azula. y/n, wanna go get those drinks?” zuko asked.

“yeah, sure,” you nodded.

you two moved passed azula, exchanging goodbyes.

“so, when did you and mai date?” you asked, grabbing yourself a diet coke.

“in high school. i dated her from sophomore year to half my junior year. so it was about a year and a half relationship,” he explained honestly.

“wow. that’s a long time,” you chuckled.

zuko sensed your anxiety and put his hand on your’s to reassure you. “yeah, but it’s all in the past now. i’m very over it. and plus, i’m with you now.” you smiled at him. “yeah, i know. thank you. have you had other relationships in the past before?”

“yeah, a few. another long-term, a couple short-term. i haven’t been on a date since sophomore year of college, to be honest with you,” zuko said bashfully.

“well, i’ve never had a boyfriend before. well, not an offical one anyways, so i wouldn’t worry,” you smiled

“you not having a boyfriend? i can’t imagine that,” zuko teased.

you blushed and shrugged, “no guys interested me. especially not in high school. all of them are so immature and gross.”

“understandable. i came from a strict family, so i wasn’t too bad,” zuko said.

“that’s not what sokka said,” you grinned.

zuko rolled his eyes. “alright, well, sokka is different. he's all goofy and may have coerced me into pranks, but i was a good kid and student.”

“true. i mean, you are my tutor after all,” you laughed.

“right. right. speaking of tutoring, do you still want to continue?” zuko asked.

“yes! but instead of calling it ‘tutoring’ we can just hang out and you can help me with homework,” you suggested.

“sounds good,” zuko nodded, taking a sip of his beer.

“hey, did you want to play with the vr?” he asked.

“yes!” you exclaimed.

zuko smiled at your enthusiasm. “alright, wanna go in the basement or my room to play?”

“oh, um, wherever,” you shrugged. the thought of you in your boyfriend’s room made you nervous, but filled your stomach with butterflies.

“we can go in the basement,” zuko said.

you nodded. “wait, i want to see your room though.” you knew you didn’t have to go in there and be alone for a long period of time yet, but you at least wanted to see what it looked like.

zuko nodded and took your hand, leading you through the small crowd of people. you went up to stairs and walked to the bedroom that was down the hall.

“i’m going to the bathroom real quick, feel free to look around and stuff,” zuko smiled.

you nodded, watching his retreating figure. you opened his door hesitantly, your nostrils immediately filling with the sweet smell of cinnamon. your eyes immediately went to the bed that sat across from the door and in the middle of the room. his sheets were black with red lines down the middle. his pillows were both black and red, alternating in a pattern. he also had a few stuffed animals laid out on his bed. one of a red dragon, turtle-duck, and a polar bear-dog. he had two, dark-brown coloured nightstands on each side of his bed. on the left one, which was closest to you, was a lamp, a few gum packets, and a few books for school. the right one had a picture frame of him and his mother, him and his sister, one of him and just his mom, and another of him and iroh. across from the right nightstand on the wall, was a black bookshelf. it had 5 shelves with three and a half filled with all sorts of books.

avid reader, i see, you thought.

all around his room he had posters and pictures. the posters were of his favorite bands: AC/DC, greenday, rolling stones, queen, and nirvana. he had some jazz singers, too. like louis armstrong, billie holiday, frank sinatra, and nat king cole.

good music taste, too.

across from the foot of the bed was his desk that had a bunch of papers on there, a clock, and a pencil holder. he had standing lamp next to his desk, too.

“his bed is so comfortable.”

your body stiffened once you heard mai’s dark, monotoned voice. you didn’t look at her, you just kept your eyes trained on his stuffed animals.

“oh, really? how would you know?” you challenged.

“because we’ve had sex there. he’s really good at it, too,” mai said. you could hear the smirk in her voice.

of course that’s the reason why.

“and the jazz music he would play while we cuddled after a few rounds. ugh, so magical. you won't believe the things he can do with that body of his,” mai said.

“oh,” you said, your voice breaking.

mai put her hand on your shoulder, leaning to whisper in your ear. “he's mine, y/n. always have and always will be. he’ll be done with you soon and come running back to me. he always does.”

tears sprung in your eyes and a few ran down your cheeks. you didn’t say anything else, knowing that if you opened your mouth, the only sound that would come out was a sob.

“have fun. ta-ta!” mai said and took her hand off of you. you heard her footsteps walk away, going down the stairs.

you let out a shaky breath, taking out your phone to text katara to take you home. she responded quickly, thankfully, and told you she’d be there in 10.

zuko existed the bathroom, smiling once he saw you in the doorway of his room.

“hey, how do you like the room?” zuko asked.

you took in a deep breath, wiping away your tears harshly. “it’s cool. i really like the posters and the stuffed animals.”

zuko noticed your discomfort. “what’s wrong?” he went in front of you, his heart breaking once he saw that you were crying. “hey, hey, why’re you crying?”

you averted his gaze, shrugging. “nothing, i’m just tired. you mind if i have katara pick me up?”

zuko narrowed his eyes at you. “al-alright. but… why?”

“i just… i got a text from my mom. it's an emergency. i have to go,” you lied.

zuko looked at your face, knowing you were lying. he knew he wouldn't get the truth out of you now, though. so he decided to let you go, let you calm down, then ask you about it in the next few hours.

“yeah, sure. i’m sorry you have to leave,” zuko said, reaching out for your hand gently.

you let him, his touch calming you. “yeah, me, too. walk me out?”

zuko smiled softly, “yeah, sure,”

you two walked down the stairs in silence. you put on your coat, reaching for the doorknob.

“i had fun, thank iroh for inviting me,” you said.

“of course. text me when you get home, okay?” zuko asked.

“will do,” you nodded and exited the house. zuko watched you walk away, sighing.

he looked to his left, catching the eye of mai. she had a malicious smirk on her face, not trying to even hide it. zuko glared at her, putting the pieces together of why you left.

fuck you, mai, he thought.

you got into the car, seeing katara with worried eyes.

“hey, what’s wrong?” she asked.

as soon as you sat down was when the tears starting coming out in hot streaks.

“m-mai,” you sobbed.

katara narrowed her eyes, “that bitch. what did she say?”

“she was talking about how good zuko was at sex. how wonderful their sex was. it was horrible. she also mentioned that he goes back to her all the time. is that true?” you asked.

katara’s eyes widened. “i… why don’t we go back home and get you calmed down first, alright? we have cookies and whiskey.”

you nodded, wiping your eyes. katara drove you home, keeping her hand on your’s for comfort.

Land of the Avengers chapter 2

"This is the flight simulator," Dr. Storm showed the boy's the dome shaped room in the middle of the floor. "The main reason why there's so many generators in here because of this. It takes a lot of energy to run the simulator. Probably enough to run the entire city for three years."The boy's were stunned. It took that much energy to run the simulation machine?

"That's insane," Peter whispered. "But, isn't that bad for the environment? I mean, the generators make so much heat and the gasses they're known to produce have been proven to deplete the breathable air and-" Susan held up a hand with a smile. "I know all of that, but Richard actually developed these specially with that in mind. It's a new kind of energy, a renewable energy. It's something the world has never seen. Actually, you're the first people outside this building to see it." Her watch let out a beep and she turned her wrist to see the time. "And now it's getting late, so you two better get in there. You have today and tomorrow to practice before your test. I'd wish you boys luck, but I'm sure you won't need it." She opened the door latch. "Just so you know, there is a water dispenser and a bathroom. People tend to spend a long time in here and I got tired of having to clean up after they left." She sent a glare to the doors her brother went through. "So, I had Reed put in a bathroom." She gave the boys a tight smile. "Go on in. And we'll be monitoring you from out here, so we'll be the first to know if there's a problem." Peter and Harley gave a nod in unison and stepped into the chamber. As soon as the door was shut behind them, they looked at one another. "Let's do this," Harley said, holding his hand out. "And kick its ass doing it," Peter replied with a smile and they grabbed each other's hands in their secret handshake. "Did I mention that we have cameras and microphones in there, too. So no bad language," Susan's voice made the two jump and look up at the camera that had turned to look at them, feeling her admonishing look through the lens. "Sorry!" they yelled in unison and began making their way through the dome to the two seats in the middle of the room. In some odd way, they made the room seem emptier. Together they sat and buckled themselves in, looking around the white room. "Good job on buckling up, boys. You don't know how many trainees make that mistake and treat this as just a VR ride instead of a potentially dangerous experience. You two signed the wavers, right?" The boys nodded. "Good. The room will make an odd noise as the simulation starts, but soon it will fade into the noise of the flight sim. Simulation starting in three......two....one....good luck boys." They didn't get a chance to respond before the room started making a high pitched whirring noise before the room actually disappeared! In its place was the inside of a sub-orbital craft.Harley stared out the window and actually looked real, even down to the birds! "This...this is amazing!" His voice didn't even echo in the cockpit, as it was a small, full space. "The reality is so real." He reached out and touched a control, surprised to feel the yoke in his grasp. "Amazing." "I wonder how they do it? Maybe it's something to do with the brainwaves that measure your senses? That would be amazing tech to put into use in the real world! Imagine what could happen if people didn't have to leave their homes in order to work, that would mean they'd be able to spend their lives in filtered air and therefore increase their lifespan by at least ten years!" Harley gave him a look as if to say 'shut up'. "But, think of the damage the power one of these needs in order to run. Could you imagine something like that in every home? It would kill the planet indefinitely. It was a good thought, though, kid." The younger nodded and got a 'thinking' look on his face. "Worry about it after we're done, okay? Our futures ride on this simulation. We have to do good, or else those scholarships should be taken away." Peter's face turned serious in an instant and he gripped the yoke. "I'm ready. Let's get started." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Twelve hours the boys stayed in the room, and the next day it was the same. It was Colonel Richards who came into the dome with a grin on his face. "Well, well. If I had known you would take it this seriously, I would have said yes to Virginia sooner. Twenty four hours in two days. You boys are probably my most determined students." He walked into the room and frowned. "Have you boys turned up the temperature in here?"The answer was obvious as Peter and Harley were drenched with sweat, their heads soaking wet as if they'd just taken a shower. "Didn't anyone tell you that you could turn on the air in here?" "Yes, sir, but we wanted this to be a challenge. We've done every simulation, but we needed a challenge." Peter wiped his forehead, grimacing as it came away wet. "Is that so? So, if I were to give you a test, you two think you would pass?" "With flying colors, Colonel," Harley said proudly. "Well, then I still hope you feel that way next week during your test. Now, get home so you can get some rest. You two still have class in the morning." The boys saluted, their actions half-hearted in their tiredness and they trudged out of the room. "What do you think, Susan?" He turned towards one of the camera's facing him. "I think Johnny is going to be upset at not being the youngest pilot anymore," the woman laughed. Reed smirked."I think you may be right." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The next morning was a sluggish one for both boys. Both yawned with almost every step. With all the excitement from the simulation practice it was to be expected, though. Pepper felt bad for the young boys, especially Peter, who looked as if he hadn't gotten an sleep at all. In the morning class, she'd given her usual lesson, but had been lenient on her students and didn't give them the test she'd planned for that Monday. She would give it to them tomorrow. That would give the boys enough time to sleep. When the bell rang, the two tiredly gathered their belongings and were just out of the classroom when a coffee colored fist made impact with the wall next to Harley's head. "Hey there, fruity boys. I didn't expect to see you back in school this morning, with you being expelled and all." The older teen quirked a brow. "Expelled? What do you mean?" "Oh, everyone's talking about it. You don't get called to the Headmaster's office if you're not in trouble. So, what was it? You lost your scholarships and can't afford to pay for this school anymore?" Flash stuck his lower lip out. "Is that it? Mommy's part time job at the diner isn't enough to even cover one class here, and let's not talk about the orphan here," he jabbed his thumb at Peter, who simply looked down, his face flushed in embarrassment. Harley saw red at that movement and took a step towards Flash, his head towering over the freshman's. "Listen here, you little silver spoon lackey. We were not expelled. In fact, Colonel Richards has given us the chance to take the graduating test this weekend." He spotted the Colonel sauntering down the hallway, his face worried as he spotted the position of the trio and began making his way over to them. "Don't believe me? Ask him yourself." Peter was the first to alert Flash of the headmaster's arrival, going rod straight and saluting. "Colonel Richards, Sir!" he exclaimed, his voice breaking on the last part, causing his red face to turn redder. Harley was next, with Flash a second behind him. Richards smiled at the boy. "At ease, Cadets. Would there happen to be a problem here?" He eyed Cadet Thompson, who looked a little pale. "Actually, we were just discussing our test coming up, Colonel. Can you please tell Flash the rumors of our expulsion are false?" "Expulsion? Of the school's best two cadets? I don't know why you would be expelled. But, the flight test is true." He checked his watch. "Which means you two had better get to class." Peter and Harley saluted again, and hurried off. Flash tried to do the same, but Richards wouldn't have it. "Cadet Thompson, a word if you would." He was tired of hearing about this boy causing trouble. If he thought because his father was the mayor of New York he could get away with anything, he was about to be sorely mistaken. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The two boys made it to Sergeant Barton's class just in time, as the bell rang as the youngest stepped foot into the classroom. "Heya, boys. Take your seats." Clint gave them a cheeky grin as they walked in. He had planned a video lesson because he knew the two would appreciate that after having a word with Pepper earlier. So, he lowered the lights and brought down the lights. "Remember to take notes," he reminded the class and started the videos. In seconds, both Harley and Peter were out, heads on their notebooks, slight snores coming from them. Clint wanted to wake them, but he didn't have the heart, so he made it like he didn't see them and sat back for the rest of the lesson, watching over his students. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ For both boys the week went by so quick, it was almost as if some kind of magical genie had snapped their fingers and made the week rush by. Flash hadn't been bothering them since the Colonel had straightened things out, and both cadets had been getting odd stares from the others on their way to class. But, in the end, it was Saturday and Peter was packed and ready to go, his suitcase next to May's in the living room. "Come on May! My test starts in two hours!" He was pacing by the door, listening to the woman puttering around the dorm. "That's two hours, Peter! Relax and take a breath!" The woman came out smiling as she fixed the large glasses on her face. She walked over to him and pulled the boy into a hug. "Breathe, Petey-Pie. You'll be fine. And we'll leave as soon as I can find a camera." The day the boy had mentioned his test, and she had gotten clearance from her boss at the hospital, she'd been spending her time after work buying all the camera's she could in order to take enough pictures of Peter and the sights on the trip to show to her colleagues. To say they were both proud and jealous was an understatement. As soon as she was ready, the two rushed from the apartment. Or, Peter rushed May out to go pick up Harley, who was sitting on his dorm porch saying goodbye to his mother. The boy gave the woman another hug and ran towards the mono-taxi, a smile on his face. "Hey Pete!" The two boys did their handshakes as the oldest sat in front of them. "Thank you so much for picking me up, Ms. Parker." May was busy telling Mrs. Keener that her son would be in the best hands as they were pulling away. Harley waved again and sat back. "I'm so excited, worried and ready for this to be over." Peter nodded in agreement as he yawned. "That's what you get for being over anxious," May chuckled.The mono-taxi pulled up to the shuttle port, the driver staring at it with wide eyes. "You know, I ain't nevah taken anybody here, and nevah been here myself. These things are too expensive." He turned in his seat. "You goin' anywhere good?" "Actually, my nephew and his friend are about to take their pilot tests." May sounded so proud and Peter liked the tone she used. "Really? They look so young!" The man's eyes widened comically. "Pete here is the youngest cadet ever to take the test," Harvey said, ruffling the red faced boy's hair. "So if he passes, then that means you'll have had the youngest pilot in history in your taxi." "Hey, can I got your autograph, kid? It could be my feature moment here." The man produced a pen and paper from his glove box. Peter nodded and signed the blank paper, handing it to Harvey, who also signed. "Thanks, boys. Hey, good luck!" The trio got out of the cab and together they rushed to the entrance, the guards stopping them for a moment before, with shocked faces, let them pass. Once they walked in, they were greeted by a crowd of travelers, all walking fast to get to where they had be before their flights left. Peter and Harley grabbed on to May's luggage as she stepped into the crowd. They dodged and pushed past angry people, until the loudspeaker in the sub-port buzzed, gaining everyone's attention. "Cadets Keener and Parker to sub-port thirty-four, cadets Keener and Parker to sub-port post haste. I repeat, Cadets Keener and Parker to sub-port thirty-four post haste." People around them started looking around for the cadets, but Peter and Harley didn't even notice the attention they were getting, being the only ones in cadet uniforms, racing with May to the gate they needed to be at. Once they ran through the gates, the sunlight blinded them for a moment. "Cadets Keener and Parker," came the booming voice of Colonel Richards. Instantly the two young boys stood at attention, their hands coming up in a firm salute. "Colonel Richards, sir!" they shouted in unison. A second later they heard a chuckle. "At ease, boys. You have a long test ahead of you, so it will take all of your strength you don't need to be wasting saluting an old man like me." Reed patted both stunned boys on the shoulder then Ben walked up to them, his eyes alighting with interest at the sight of the older woman. "And who is this stunning young lady?" he asked, his gruff voice sounding husky as he gave the woman a once over. "H-hello, sir. I-I'm May Parker, Peter's aunt." The woman was turning red and stuttering over her words, and making Peter silently gag next to her. "Really? Well, who would have ever thought you of all people would be an aunt." Ben took the woman's hand and kissed the top of it. "I do hope you enjoy your trip, Ms. Parker. Pity I'm not going with you." "We-well, I'll be enjoying time with my nephew." She smiled, noticing the man hadn't let go of her hand as of yet, so she slid it from his grasp. "I'm going to put my bag on board, she said, but Ben suddenly grabbed her suitcase like it was nothing. "Allow me, Ms. Parker." He gave her a suave smile and walked away, his shoulders straighter than they'd ever been, making Reed chuckle. "Now boys, don't let this vacation let you think you'll be able to goof off behind the yoke. I won't have anything happening to my best pilots." He waved his hand and both Virginia and Clint came from the shadows under the plane. "I'll give you two over to your teachers. Good luck, and have fun." He smiled and walked away, going to the air control tower to watch how Peter took off. "Ready?" Clint asked, and both boys turned a certain shade of green he'd never seen before as they nodded. "Come on then! Vacation awaits!" The man walked off, having to practically push Ben out of the way to help May onto the plane, the gruff man glaring at the teacher. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peter sat behind the yoke in the pilot's seat, looking over all the instruments, like he did in his simulations. But, this wasn't a simulation. This was real and he was about to fly a suborbital plane for the first time in real life. Captain Potts took the seat next to him, giving the boy a soft smile. "Nervous?" Peter nodded rapidly, eyes wide. "What if something goes wrong and I wind up crashing the plane?" The woman laughed and placed a hand on Peter's shoulder. "If anything goes wrong, I'll be right here. It's just like the simulation, okay? Just think of it that way and you'll do fine. Besides, after two hours, Harley can finish the test and you can go relax with your aunt." The teen nodded and shifted his vision back to the circuit board of switches. His palms were sweating so much he thought they might drip onto the control panel and fry something. It's just like the simulation, Peter. You can do this, he thought to himself. "Peter, just breathe. I'm right here, and I'll help you as much as I can." The trainee nodded and took control of the yoke. He could do this. It was only a short flight and if everything went right, he'd have his protege wings as be able to co-pilot the planes and take over on the longer flights when they pilot had to take a break. It wasn't like he was going to start flying by himself today. He still had a lot to learn and practice and his age required him to have an experienced co-pilot.. With an audible gulp, he nodded to the captain. This was it. Time to take this test and show it who's boss. He began flipping switches and watching lights blink all around him. In his rear flight camera he moved the rudders first up, then down, then left and right. They moved smoothly. He switched the view to the wings, watching as he moved them, noting they were smooth, too. "You're doing great," Captain Potts said with a smile. Peter nodded and grimaced. He made sure he was buckled in, then with a shaky hand, reached for the ignition button. The plane started so suddenly it made the boy jump, but he settled down at a chuckle from the captain, which he would not hold a grudge for.Two sets of eyes stared at the large black spot in the sky in front of them, hoping he was seeing things. But, Harley's question affirmed he wasn't. "The air space is clear for your test to begin," Colonel Richards' voice came over the communicator. "Have a safe flight, and may the light guide your way." "Thank you, Colonel. And you as well." Pepper responded and turned to Peter. "Whenever you're ready, Cadet." The boy nodded and started forward. It went slowly at first, but then the plane picked up speed until they were going at top ground speed. Peter glanced at the circuit board, noting that all the lights were green. Prime for takeoff. With steady hands, he brought the nose of the plane up, and up and up, until all wheels were off the ground and they were in the air. Peter didn't relax until he leveled the plane out, then he took a shaky breath. He'd done it. "Great job, Peter," Captain Potts said warmly, clasping his shoulder. She never called the cadets by their first names, so she must have been really proud. "Now you can sit back and look at the view. You've earned it." And that's what Peter did. With an awed look, he stared out the cockpit window. Below the hull of the plane lay the Earth and all the cities, though they were barely visible through all the smog and pollution. That made Peter sad. So, instead of looking at that, he fixed his gaze ahead of them. The transition of the black emptiness of space to the lit up horizon of the Earth, with the light bouncing off the ocean, and the clouds below them were white, looking nothing like the white balls of poof he was used to seeing from the ground. "It's beautiful," he whispered, awed. Sure, he'd seen the view in the simulator, but this was the real thing. It was amazing. "Isn't it? This is what we see every day." Pepper smiled at the look on the boy's face, sitting back to watch as Peter controlled the plane like a pro. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Susan was watching the screen for any anomalies, when suddenly something blipped. It was fast, so she didn't pay it much attention, until another blip came from that same spot, but this time it stayed and was bigger than the last time. "Reed, come in," she called over the communicator. "What is it?" her fiance's voice came from the console. "I don't know, but there seems to be something....oh no....it's in the path the cadets just took! Reed, get them to come back now!" The blip was growing and soon it was the bigger than the small plane. Big enough to swallow it whole. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pepper was pulled from her dozing state by a buzzing coming from the communicator. "I've got it, Peter. You just keep flying." She didn't want to distract the young boy from his task. Leaning forward she pressed the button that allowed the colonel's voice to break through the silence. "Pepper! Pepper, you have to return!" Reed's voice sounded panicked over the radio. "Pepper, do you copy! You have to return to base!" "Colonel, we copy. What's wrong?" "I don't-I can't explain it," this time it was Susan's voice coming over the communicator. "But there's a massive amount of gamma and radioactive energies coming straight ahead in your flight path." A beeping came out of the console and flipping a few switches, a map came up. The only problem was, they were too close. "We're too close to turn. We'll try going under that disturbance." She turned to Peter. "Do you need me to take over?" He shook his head. "No, Captain. I need to be ready for anything." Slowly the boy started to go down, but suddenly the plane started rumbling and turning around in the air. No matter what Peter did he couldn't control the plane. With wide eyes, he stared at Captain Potts. Suddenly, a big black cloud appeared, seemingly out of nowhere and started sucking the plane towards it! "What is that thing!?" The young teen was gripping the yoke tight, his fingers doing white. "I don't know, Cadet," Captain Potts said, her voice calm, but it had a wobble to it, letting them know she was nervous. "Just try and avoid its pull." "That's not an option," Peter retorted, his face going pale. "The systems are shutting down!" "What!?" Captain Potts shoved Peter out of his seat, taking it in his stead. "No, this can't be! Clint! Get your ass in here now," she called over the speaker. A second later the door slid open and in ran Clint, his eyes wide as he hung on to the doorway as the plane started rocking. "What the hell is going on? May is back there demanding to know also....and what the fuck is that!?" "That's what I need help with," Pepper cried in exasperation. "It keeps pulling us in!" "Peter, get to the passenger area," Captain Potts called, not looking back at them. "Go sit and buckle in, okay?" She finally took her gaze away from the black blob in the sky, smiling at the scared boy. "We'll be okay." Peter nodded, believing the woman, and was the first to leave the cockpit. "Peter?" May asked as soon as the boy had managed to stumble to his seat , eyes wide as she looked to the cockpit. "It's okay, Aunt May," the boy said, patting her hand after he buckled himself in. "We'll be okay." The plane shifted violently so suddenly, that were they not wearing their seat belts they would have been thrown about the cabin. Peter whimpered, his hand gripping the older woman's and Harley's. "We'll be okay!" he shouted over and over like a mantra. "OH shit!" The passenger cabin suddenly became pitch black. "Hold on!" Harley screamed. "Brace for impact!" Came the captain's voice over the loudspeaker. But, as soon as she said it, light encompassed the cabin, blinding the people inside. Instantly the plane stopped shaking. "What happened?" Peter asked, his head swiveling back and forth trying to see out the windows. It looked like a normal, sunny day, but there was something off about it. Before he could figure it out, though, the plane suddenly jerked, and fell. The passengers screamed all the time they fell, not even noticing the greenery that had encompassed the plane. The metal hull hit something hard enough to cause an explosion behind the seats. The noise had Harley and Peter jumping in their seats. In the next instant, they were hit with the powerful suction of the wind as the plane hurtled toward the ground. May was gripping the seat belt for dear life, the buckle clearly broken by the force of the explosion. Peter turned towards her, to grab his aunt, do something, when the plane was rocked violently, the sound of trees hitting the outside loud to everyone's ears. In the turbulence, May had lost her grip on the seat belt and was sucked out of the gaping hole on the side. It happened so fast, Peter didn't even have time to react. "May?" He whispered, shaking his head, staring at the seat the woman had just been sitting in. "May......MAAAAAAYYYY!!!!" "Everyone hold on!" Came Sergeant Clint's voice over the loudspeaker, but Peter couldn't react. He felt numb, like all of this couldn't be real. It just couldn't. A second later, the plane slammed into the ground, throwing Harley and Peter to the ground as their seat belts broke from the force of the impact. When Peter saw Harley go flying past him, he acted on instinct and grabbed his friend, holding tight to keep him from suffering the same fate as his only family member. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A pair of blue eyes were watching a radar-like map, studying it with an intense stare. There had been a small, moving object on the screen and-there it was again! "I've got something," the person called out. A head of red hair appeared by his side to study the screen. "What is it?" Her voice was smooth as silk as she bent down to look at the screen. "I don't know," the man replied, his eyes staring at the screen still. "But, it was small and came from the direction of the electromagnetic interference." "Really?" Suddenly the blip came again, and this time it stayed on the screen longer, but it seemed as though it was falling. The red head stood and smirked at the man. "Looks like we'll have to go check it out." "All right. I'll notify Tony and be right with you. I don't think we have to suit up for this." He stood and stretched, groaning when his back popped. Too many hours sitting can do that to you. The woman reached out and touched the holograph where the little blip had fallen. "Damn. It fell outside the compound's vicinity...this is going to take all of us to search an area that wide. I'll call the others." With that, the woman left the room. Blue eyes looked one last time at the screen before getting on the phone, walking out of the room. "Tony. We got something," was all he said before hanging up.

Lysimachus

After waking up from one his terrible nightmares, or better, flashbacks from his dark days in a Roman prison, he opened his eyes, expecting to find some comfort, relief... but the opposite side of his bed was empty. Lysimachus sighed heavily.

Boom! A loud explosion noise came from his living room, followed by a hysterical laugh.

"Ha! How do you like that, huh?!"

Priya was standing in front of his TV, focused on a VR game he had never seen before. Without her awareness, he unplugged the console.

"WHAT?!"

"I told you to stay in bed. You need to rest."

"More?" She frowned. "I've been resting for days."

"Let me check it out."

Under her shirt, he examined the bite wound on her shoulder. It had mostly healed. For the last few days, he had been often feeding Priya his own blood and her body was doing the rest, fighting off the infection successfully.

“Almost there,” he announced.

“Thank you so much, Hunter. I mean, for this story you invented to the media about the deadly infection. It worked like magic. Look at all this gifts I’ve been receiving. I was even trying this game, that will likely never come out in the stores!”

“Really?!” Lysimachus grabbed the game cover. “Come on! I’ve been waiting for this for ages! How come did you...”

Priya winked and grinned in response. For a second their eyes locked, and as the moment started to become to awkward, he changed the subject.

“By the way, you were right. Lester was next on the list.”

“Did you go to that famous strip-club he often visits?”

“Yes,” Lysimachus told. “And as you suggested, there was already this woman, set up by Gaius, ready to cause him trouble. Later, she’d take him to Gaius to finish his life. But everything is solved now and Mr. Castellanos is safe and sound in Spain.”

“Hmpfff...” Priya grunted. “You should at least let them give that perv a lesson.”

“We can deal with that later... now...” he went to his evidence board. “The Baron next?”

Priya was pensive, intrigued. She looked at him, raising her eyebrows. Lysimachus, in this short time he had been in her presence, learned to not like that look.

“What’s up?” He questioned.

“Where’s Kamilah? And Amy, mostly? That chick has which every Vampire is looking for. Shouldn’t we be keeping her locked in a safe for now?”

He didn’t answer. He hadn’t spoke to Kamilah since that night at his apartment. He didn’t feel capable of fully forgiving her yet.

“Man, you can’t be pissed at you sis, the one you’ve spent your whole life seeking for revenge for... because of this,” she pointed to her shoulder, as if the bite was nothing. “She was only playing her role. I’d have probably done worse.”

“You could’ve died.”

“And so did she. She did what she had to do, Hunter...” Priya punched him on the chest, before heading for his cabinet and grabbing an early drink. “Now about our plan, should I be proceeding with our... thing tonight?”

“No way,” Lysimachus shook his head. “You’re not completely healed yet and after what he did... I’m not risking your life again.”

“Too bad,” the Fashion Designer smirked. “I’ve already gave me Clan the orders. We are doing it.”

“You will not!”

“You’re not my man, Hunter. You can’t tell me what to do. Do you think that some creepy old ass can try to kill me and get nothing in return? You should know me better at this point, you know, before we move to the next level.”

She closed the front door behind him, going for a meeting with her Clan. Lysimachus clenched his fists in rage, before falling on the couch wondering what she meant by ‘the next level’.

----------

Kamilah

"You're not thinking straight," Adrian gave her a disapproving look. "Kamilah, there's a lot that could go wrong... what if... what if she Turns Feral? Do you remember my wife, Celia?"

Of course Kamilah did. She not only supported him during his mourning time, but she helped him to gain strength to open that coffin and stake her heart. She witnessed the beautiful Celia, who she had recently watched marry Adrian in the church, to become a pile of ashes, as her monstrous body vanished. It was a scene she’d never forget.

"Being The First Vampire's descendant? I doubt it,” if the closer to the First Vampire, less chances of becoming Feral, Amy probably had a big advantage. “It's my best option at the moment, Adrian. As mortal she's weak, fragile and barely capable of protecting herself. Also, they need her alive to make use of her blood."

"What about The Council?" Adrian ran a hand through his hair.

"I'm out of The Council, remember?"

"They could use it as an excuse to kill Amy and you, for unauthorized Turnings."

"Don't worry," Kamilah walked headed to the door. "I have you, Jax and Priya in my favor."

"A-are you counting on Priya's vote?"

"I can easily make her. After all, she owes me her life."

Some time later, she was already in her car, placing everything she'd need for the ritual. She was conflicted it was true, apart from the fear of Amy becoming Feral, she also didn't want Amy to experience most of the things she did, such as watching all her loved ones to die or becoming completely numb to the world around her, but sacrificing her wasn't an option either.

"Are we ready to go?" Amy was waiting inside the penthouse, grabbing some bags.

"You tell me. Are you ready for this, Amy? Is it what you want?"

"Yes, I've never been more sure of something in my life."

"Are you aware of the risks?" Kamilah sighed deeply, affected by Adrian’s words. "That it could go wrong and..."

"It's not happening," Amy didn't let her finish. "It worked for Lily, it'll work for me too."

"And that your feelings may change. Including for me."

"Lily haven't changed."

"You can make the decision based on somebody else's experience."

"Are you trying to change my mind or what?" Amy angered.

"No," Kamilah patiently answered. "I only want you to be sure. There's no turning back."

“One thing I’m sure, I don’t wanna die in some sick ritual.”

The next moments were tense and silent. She could tell Amy was nervous, though she was determined. It wouldn't be easy for herself either, planning the less painful manner to kill her fiancée, in order for her to be reborn as Vampire.

Suddenly, Amy jumped on top of her, kissing her feverishly. Her tongue finding a way between her lips, as her fingers tangled into her long straight hair.

"If my feelings ever change... all you have to do is remind me of this. Got it?"

"Whenever you wish."

Before going to the Hamptons, she took Amy to her office, in order to discuss the last details. First, she'd need to make sure to avoid problems with The Council.

"So you're spontaneously giving up on your mortality?" She recorded on video, in case she needed later.

"Yes," Amy answered. "In order to preserve my own life."

"Whose idea was that?"

"Mine"

"Good," Kamilah turned off the camera. "We got what we need. Now..." she stopped. "How do you want me to do it?"

"Traditionally?" Amy furrowed her brows confused. "I mean, there's no other way to Turn someone, is it?"

Kamilah sighed, taking the question straight to the point.

"I mean... how do you want me to kill you?"

"Oh."

The question hit Amy a little hard, as she hadn't considered this part yet.

"No pain," she finally spoke. "How did he kill you? Drinking all your blood, wasn't it?"

Kamilah nodded in response.

"Did that hurt?"

"Not much. I only started to feel weaker, my vision went dark and..."

Speaking about it didn't make Kamilah feel so comfortable, even after all this time.

"That's how we're doing it then."

"Okay."

They both went silent again. Tension hanging in their air, until she decided to lighten the mood.

"So, what would you like to do in your last day as mortal?"

Amy finally smiled, biting her lower lip playfully.

"I have a few ideas in mind."

----------

Amy

That was one idea Amy had in mind for a while, but Kamilah being a Vampire and the CEO of such a large company, it wasn’t possible until the moment. She blindfolded her fiancée and took control of the car.

“I don’t like any of it,” Kamilah complained from the passenger seat.

“Which part?” Amy asked, loud, her voice was being muffled by the wind entering the windows. She wanted to feel it as human one last time. “Driving your car or taking you on a mysterious place?”

“Both.”

After she removed Kamilah’s blindfold, the female Vampire rolled her eyes, unable to believe the place in front of her.

“You didn’t brought me to an amusement park.”

“Of course I did. I mean, you’ve never went on a roller-coaster ride or had an ice cone. Everyone must experience these things.”

“Mortals, Amy. Not me.”

Before any more protesting, Amy took her hand and dragged her to inside the park.

“So, what would you like to try first, the Thunderbolt, the Cyclone or the Sling- Shot?”

“I don’t understand any of the things you’ve just said.”

“Those are some of the wildest rides.”

“Whatever. You pick.”

For the rest of the morning, Amy took Kamilah to her favorite rides of the park. Though the Vampire didn’t express any excitement or fear, Amy could tell she was enjoying it. Then she took her for lunch, Kamilah stared at the food in complete disgust.

“Come on,” Amy took a bite of her corn dog, “try it. You’ll like it.”

“I’m not sure I can handle the scent of grease for another minute,” Kamilah covered her nose with her hand.

“Cheese fries then?”

Kamilah rolled her eyes, hesitantly taking one fry and putting it into her mouth.

“So?” Amy asked, expectantly.

“I feel it’s going to give me a stroke.”

“Dramatic much?”

“That’s okay, I can wash the taste away from my mouth with...” she took a sip of a can of soda. “this.”

Amy laughed and observed as Kamilah discreetly took some fries off the plate, time from time, refusing to admit they were actually delicious.

“I’m afraid to ask but,” the female vampire spoke after they finished, “what’s next?”

“Dessert, of course!”

"What kind of it?”

“We have funnel cake, deep fried Oreos...”

“Do your kind honestly needs to fry everything?” Kamilah interrupted, whining.

“Or we can have ice cones,” Amy finished.

“I’d prefer this way.”

They sat down on a bench, tasting their ice cream. Amy wrapped an arm around Kamilah’s shoulder and kissed her cheek.

“Thanks for doing this with me. I know it’s not your favorite day ever but... it means a lot.”

Kamilah was still thoughtful and not very chatty, but the corners of her mouth curled up a little.

“I’ve had worse days before.”

“I can imagine...”

“Like when you and Lily took me to that nightclub. I’m positive that hell is somewhat close to that place.”

Amy bursted into a laugh, imagining Kamilah was about to say something dark and serious.

“Oh my god, Amy,” the vampire rolled her eyes again. “Look at you, there’s ice cream in the corners of your mouth. You’re always so classy...”

Before Amy could take a napkin to clean it, Kamilah stopped her.

“I’ll handle it,” with her thumb she wiped the corners of her mouth and then sucked it gently, before pressing her lips on Amy’s.

As the evening approached, Kamilah wanted to know if she had any more requests before they go to the Hamptons’ house.

“A classic one for every couple. A kiss on the top of the Ferris Wheel.”

“We’re not really like every couple but... of course.”

----------

Kamilah

It was early in the night when they arrived at the Hamptons' house. The mood between them was nervy again, but Kamilah wanted to keep it as normal as possible, letting Amy enjoy the last hours of her mortality in the living room while she prepared everything for the Turning ritual in one of the bedrooms.

"You've done it a thousand times," she repeated to herself. "It's just the same."

But it wasn't. Amy wasn't any mortal, she was the First Vampire's descendant, the results of her Turning experience were unknown. Adrian thought she could become a powerful being. With a pure blood, she could become so strong as Kamilah herself, or even Gaius.

"Kamilah," Amy yelled from the living room, "I'm starving. Is there any food in this house?"

Kamilah rolled her eyes, wondering if as Vampire her hunger would also be enhanced.

"I forgot about it... why don't you order some pizza?"

While the girl celebrated, she felt her stomach twist. She never had such a large amount of junk food in one day.

Everything was prepared. After dinner she'd drive Amy to the bedroom, where she'd drink a goblet of her blood. Then, Kamilah would suck her blood completely, until her death, and place her inside a coffin, where she'd remain for the next six hours while she did the last arrangements.

She hadn't told Lysimachus about their plan. She had no idea of her brother's opinion about it. As he read Wright's complete research, he could know things about Amy's gift she didn't know, and prevent her from doing a mistake.

Against her will, Kamilah dialed his number. It was turned off. It was always turned off when he was too busy with Priya.

"Screw them," Kamilah angered. "I can make it on my own."

The door bell rang. She hear Amy going to answer. It should be her pizza. In at least an hour, they'd begin the Turning ritual.

Kamilah took a deep breath and walked to the living room, trying to appear confident.

"Amy," she shouted. "You left the door unlocked again. How many times do I have to tell you we're not in your cozy little town?"

She didn't answer. She probably had a mouthful of pizza in the kitchen.

"You didn't even wait..." For her surprise, Amy wasn't in the kitchen either. "Amy?!"

Kamilah looked outside, in the lounge, in the backyard and even on the beach. Amy was nowhere to be found. A chill went down her spine.

The bell rang again. She opened the door, expecting to find her fiancée but...

"Here's your pizza. Ms. Parker, right?"

"N-No... it was a prank. Sorry."

She quickly closed the door and grabbed her car keys and cell phone, attempting to reach her brother as she drove.

She only had one destination in mind. That one small beach town in Jersey.

----------

Lysimachus

"Don't get over excited, please," Lysimachus begged to Priya through the audio plug.

"Hunter, this is my kind of place! Look at this... How couldn't I have such a morbid idea before? Mortals vs. Vampires would boost my parties!"

Somewhere near the club, he pretended he was not listening.

"Baby steps," he thought. She wouldn't suddenly change all her views and behaviors. The fact she hadn't betrayed them or that she was able to stay away from parties and orgies for almost two months was a great achievement.

"Whose idea do you think was that? It was certainly not Gaius'."

"Probably the bar owner's, after he was hypnotized."

"Okay..." she took a breath, calming herself. "What's the next step?"

"Finish watching the games, make your presence to be noticed and go to Anya, ask her to take you to her boss."

"Noted."

Lysimachus still wasn't secure about this plan. Before Gaius' attack on Priya, the findings about the ritual and his fight with Kamilah, everything was certain. Now there was a lot that could go wrong. Lives were at risk.

"If he tries anything remember our safeword. I'll be down there in a blink of an eye."

Priya grunted on the other side of the device.

"Stop with the overprotection. I can take care of myself."

"But..."

"I mean it, Hunter. One more time and I'll turn off the plug."

"Okay."

"Go take a walk, Hunter. The show is about to begin. Go get us some girl for later... Bye!"

Lysimachus ignored her words again and started driving around on his motorcycle. He momentarily turned off the device, refusing to hear Gaius' horror circus. It was too much for him.

He went to the town's library, to read some of its history. The place was highly known for its supernatural events and the presence of strange forces. Jameson should know that. No wonder he had picked that place to hide Gaius.

He turned on his cell phone, to keep himself informed of the events in New York. As The Baron refused to cooperate, he sent Jax to keep an eye on him. He and Priya had a hunch that he was Gaius' next target.

For his shock, he had about 20 missed calls, from his sister.

"Kamilah, what's wrong? I'm in Jersey and I just saw..."

"Don't move!" She yelled from the other side of the line. "I'm going there. He... He took Amy."

"How? Does he even know she's back?"

"I don't know. She mysteriously vanished from the Hamptons' house, while I was busy with... something else. Something that could save her."

Lysimachus noticed his sister and discreetly crying.

“Okay, I-I... I’ll meet you on the road.”

"Fuck," he punched the table and headed back to his initial location, near the Midnight Lounge. "Priya? Can you hear me?"

"Yeah, this thing is better than I've ever imagined! After we defeat Gaius I'm calling dibs on this bar."

"Stay alert, he kidnapped Amy. Find your way down there, quick!"

"B-But and then? Am I supposed to save her?"

"Give your best show. I'll stay here listening."

----------

Amy

"Let me go, your son of a bitch," Amy screamed as Harvey threw her inside a dark room. "Traitor! Kamilah is going to kill you!"

"That's a really noisy one," the male Vampire complained as Jameson joined him. “I expect a raise after this service."

"Hello, Amy. It's a pleasure to see you again."

"Oh?! Aren't you a back-stabber son of a bitch? I always thought you were a weirdo, Jameson. It's a shame no one else could see it!"

"Can you please silence her?" Harvey begged. "If I have to hear her voice for another second, I..."

"The Master wants her perfectly intact for the proceedings."

"Again?" Amy rolled her eyes, wondering if they were part of Keaseth's cult. Of course, bringing his Maker back would bring Gaius a lot of benefits.

She couldn't believe it was happening. How did they even find out she was back?

"Of course," she remembered Jameson had a lot of mind skills, telepathy should be one of them. He was the mysterious person at the bar. "How could I be so stupid?"

Another figure entered the room, a female. She recognized her from Ahmanet Financial. That should be Anya.

"The King wants us in the main hall," she announced. "We've got something big to happen."

"But who's going to keep an eye on this thing?" Harvey asked.

"Just leave her. It's only a mortal, it’s not like she's going anywhere."

"Good point."

The three vampires closed the door, leaving her alone inside the dark room. With both of her hands and feet tied, she needed to find a way to free herself.

First, she moved her hands repeatedly, loosening the rope around her wrists. Then, she crawled on the floor where pieces from a shattered glass bottle were lying.

"I just have to..." Amy placed herself near the glass, grabbing the sharpest piece she could find and trying to rub it on the ropes repeatedly. "Come on... cut it... cut it..."

She insisted, until she was finally free. After untying her ankles, she carefully approached the door, opening it only a little bit. Gaius was having an important meeting with...

"Priya?!"

Amy watched as the Fashion Designer entered the main hall, escorted by four members of her Clan, clapping.

"Congratulations, Old Ass. Not even my twisted mind could have planned such a sick attraction. I'm impressed."

"What are you doing here?' Gaius snarled. "You were supposed to be..."

"Dead? And so were you."

"What do you want? Did you come here to defy me?"

"The opposite... I'm here to offer you a partnership. I've heard you need an army, don't you? I'm offering my Clan."

"In trade of?"

"Power. I'm done playing with losers! Do you know what Lysimachus is planning? An ambush, with his little magic tricks! As if they even worked, we're not in Hogwarts, jeez. We're Vampires. Bloodsucking creatures."

Gaius stared at her in silence for a brief moment before his eyes turned red in anger.

"I don't trust you. Remember you helped to trap me inside that sarcophagus?"

"What was I supposed to do? Adam offered me power, money... it was a win-win situation, babe."

"How do I know you're not part of the ambush? I'm aware of your liaisons with that... boy."

Amy noticed he clenched his fist in extreme rage as he spoke about Lysimachus.

"Who told you that?" Priya let out a small laugh. "Kamilah? Because... you know Kamilah isn't hypnotized at all, don’t you? She comes here, lies to you, collect info and take to The Council."

"Traitor!" Amy spoke in low voice. "Kamilah was right all along!"

"So, what do you say?" Priya started walking around Gaius in circles, as he was conflicted with the latest news. "I could be your new Queen. I have way more to offer than she does..."

Suddenly, Anya looked at her direction, noticing she was peeking through the door.

"Hey!" She yelled, coming in her direction.

Amy slammed the door closed, thinking she only had one chance to escape. She remembered some lessons Lysimachus gave her, about hunting Vampires.

As Anya entered the room, Amy stabbed her right in the chest with the sharp glass. It wasn't enough to kill her yet, but she got what she needed, her blood. Before cutting off her head and watch her become a pile of ash, she drank some of it.

"I think I'm going to puke," she thought.

By this time, she was surrounded. By Harvey, Jameson, Priya and... Gaius. It was the first time she was seeing him in person. He looked even more intimidating and evil than in her visions.

"Don't be afraid, Amy. It's not time for that..." she told herself.

"Your useless bastards!" Gaius angered. "I know I shouldn't have trusted you to capture her! I need her precious blood to make me stronger. After this, I'll gain all the powers Keaseth possessed!"

"Or not!" Amy yelled, pointing the glass to her own neck. "I've drank a lot of Anya's blood before killing her, you know? If I kill myself, it's over, isn't it? As a Vampire my blood becomes useless!"

Priya eyes went wide and she shook her head, as if she was telling her to not do that.

"One more step and I..."

From the back, Priya impaled one of Lysimachus poisoned stakes in Gaius' heart, giving her Clan members time enough to fight Harvey and Jameson.

In a flash, she grabbed Amy by the hand and took her outside the bar.

“Girl, you’re crazy as shit,” she said. “H-How could you...”

“You...” Amy answered between pants, “betrayed... us...”

“It was part of the plan! If you and Kamilah hadn’t been so stubborn about it, you’d know. Now you've ruined everything!”

“Oh. What about the part where you ratted Kamilah? Was it part of your plan with Lysimachus too?"

“Please,” Priya rolled her eyes, “he’d know eventually. I had to find a way to get into him."

Coming from the same direction, they spotted Lysimachus’ motorcycle and Kamilah’s car. Amy signaled them to stop and she entered the car, along Priya.

“Drive away, quick,” the Fashion Designer ordered. “I staked him.”

“You did what?!” Lysimachus yelled from the audio plug.

“Shit hit the fan, of course. Amy pulled a crazy move, threatening to kill herself and become a Vampire, I took the opportunity and... bang! I told you it wasn't the best moment to have a twin squabble with your sister."

“But to become a Vampire,” Kamilah was curious, “she’d have to drink one’s blood.”

Amy looked at her with puppy dog eyes. She knew Kamilah wouldn’t be happy with the news.

“Please, don’t be mad at me. I killed Anya, it was my life or hers... so...”

“Okay.” Kamilah sighed deeply. "I supposed I can find somebody else for my Marketing Department."

“That was brave of you, Amy! Did you pull the moves I taught you?” Lysimachus wanted to know.

“Hell yeah! First I stabbed her then I went straight to the neck.”

“I’m sorry to ruin the Vampire Hunter party, but where are we headed?" Kamilah interrupted. "We can’t go back to New York, Gaius will come straight at us.”

“I agree, sister. But I still need to get my weapons, we’re gonna need them more than ever.”

“I have an idea,” Priya spoke from the passenger seat. “Let me drive, Kamilah.”

----------

Kamilah

"What is this place?" Kamilah asked. "Is it yours?"

Priya drove them to a small, secluded mansion in the surroundings of New York. It seemed a good place to hide, but she still didn't trust the Fashion Designer.

"No, it was Adam's," she answered. "Sometimes he'd bring me here and we..."

"I don't need to hear that."

“I’m gonna get a drink” Priya announced. “Are you joining?”

“In a moment.”

Amy was quiet and worried, looking through the window. Kamilah embraced her from behind, offering some comfort.

"Are you alright, Amy?"

"I'll be. I'm still kinda in shock, you know? Being kidnapped, having to kill your Clan member and... seeing him in person. He's even more scary and powerful than I thought."

"And yet," Kamilah placed a soft kiss on her neck, "you fought braver than most of the Vampires that had to face him."

“I learned from the best,” Amy turned around and smiled. "What about you? How are you coping?"

"I'll only feel completely relieved when my brother is here."

A few minutes later, a car parked in front of the mansion leaving Lysimachus and a metal crate, full of combat weapons. When he entered the house, his expression was from pure fear.

"Brother, is everything okay? No one followed you, right?"

"No, I dropped my bike at a parking lot and hired a car service. But... I have terrible news."

She, Amy and Priya watched him expectantly.

"He's striking hard, guys. He has killed The Baron and taken his Clan."

"It's not such a big loss," Priya commented. "At least we don't have to worry about that pig betraying us anymore. Besides, you wiped most of his Clan members last year, remember?"

"It's not the worst part, he has also attacked the Shadow Den. Dozens of Vampires were killed."

"Oh no," Amy got alarmed. "Lily! Please, tell me she's fine."

"She, Jax and part of their group were able to escape and hide in a warehouse."

"What about Adrian?" Kamilah wanted to know. "Have you warned him?"

"Sure, he safely locked inside Raines Corporation. He offered his aid on the battle, in case we need him."

Lysimachus stopped and took a deep breath.

"It's a matter of time until he starts a mass-killing on mortals. We need to act quick."

"So, what's the plan now?" Priya asked.

"I have none yet..."

"But I do," Amy stood up from the couch. "We're doing the ritual."

Next: When Amy is willing to sacrifice herself to defeat Gaius, the gang will count on an unexpected ally... and on luck! Stay tuned!

Dimension Wave Chapter 32 — The Sea of No Return

“So, any suggestions what we do next?”

The next day. We looked like drowned rats, but at least all of us were still on board. Basically, we had been sucked in by the storm and barely made it out alive. That wasn’t the last of our problems though. Our heading and location were all sorts of messed… the map didn’t help either, as it doesn’t how which direction we faced. And maybe we were so far off track, we couldn’t even use a Tome of Returning. But we did know at least the name of this area: The Sea of No Return.

“Y’all wanna just respawn?” “Alto, you’re suggesting that because we’re Spirits, aren’t you?” “You know I don’t mean it like that, bud.”

It looked like as if what he had just said meant nothing to the bastard. Him, Sheryl, and Tsugumi might not have much of a problem with dying and respawning, but it sure means a lot to us Spirits.

“Let’s keep trekking on if we’re going to die anyway! Since we’re going to get a death penalty either way, why don’t we keep going forwards?”

Tsugumi’s been all smiles since we’ve brought her on board. Maybe that’s how she is, or maybe she’s comfortable opening up to Yamikage and Sheryl and the rest of us. My sister has been so excited about it, I felt like I’d be doing her a disservice if were to even consider anything else.

It’s not like Tsugumi’s really into RPG’s in the first place though. MMO’s, and especially VR ones, always devolves into nothing but combat for her. To be fair, VR games tend to be a little boring with action, but since she’s so good at combat, she’ll plow through them using deliberately underleveled characters. Well, it’s fun just watching her, but only because of how excited she gets.

“… we don’t even know which way’s forwards.” “It’s like we’re trapped in The Labyrinth or The Endless Desert or some other sort of typical RPG dungeon.” “… ‘kay.” “But it’s a little surprising, eh?” “‘Kay.” “But I… I haven’t even said explained anything yet…” “‘Kay.” “Kizuna, you mind interpreting for us?”

We might be used to how talks, but I guess it was a little tough for Alto who’s just met her. So be it, then. Glad to be useful.

“So? What’s surprising?” “Yeah, see, I didn’t believe half—actually, most—of what you said about the sea and stuff, but now I’m beginning to change my mind.” “And why’s that?” “Like you said earlier, being lost in a dungeon would be the typical RPG thing. You know, like you clear the area to get farther, and then at the end, you get some sort of legendary sword or something. Maybe you really are onto something, Kizuna.”

That’s exactly it. From all the games I’ve played, players usually get bogged down by a difficult bit then get rewarded with a key item that’s important to the story. It’d be nice if there were a walkthrough or strategy guide, but since we’re the first ones playing, we’ll have to fumble our way through this Sea of No Return. If we want to cross the ocean, then we have no choice but to head forwards.

We ended up wandering through the Sea of No Return.

“Kizuna! Yamikage!” “Hmmmph!” “Aye, aye!”

Attacking us were Bladed Mermen and Skyraiders—aquatic and avian monsters, respectively. Defending us were: Shouko, armed with a fan-type derivative weapon in each hand; Tsugumi, with an evolved war scythe; and Yamikage, the one-trick pony.

I didn’t think we’d break a sweat with two former frontliners, but the enemies were tougher than I thought. We were likely facing enemies harder than we should be since the storm had thrown us to who knows where. With little Energy, I was no match for them at the very least.

“Round Dance, the First: Counterstrike!”

Shouko twirled around as if she were really dancing while unfolding both of her fans. It may have been a small AoE attack, but it was enough to hit the enemies up close and farther back.

I suppose “Round Dances” need explaining too… The more these attacks are charged up, the more defense it lowers and the more damage it does, if I recall correctly. They seem to be more offensive than defensive. That being said though, the charge time with Round Dances are much longer compared to Wild Dances, but it also deals a lot more damage. Shouko’s just started using these new skills, but they seem to suit her better. I can’t exactly put my finger on it, but Shouko feels like the type to dodge attacks, rather than to parry them—like how she performed acrobatics when we fought Cerberus.

And not to mention the other day… the day when I bought my light-up lure, I discovered Shouko had yet another talent. She’s just as capable with her left hand as she is with her right—she’s ambidextrous. She can even write with both hands.

Shouko really is hot shit.

Jokes aside though, dual wielding isn’t such a surprise and characters usually fight just as well with either hand in normal video games. Skills, of course, are something you activate then you let the system work out how it goes. It’s a different story for autoattacks in VR games, however. I don’t know a lot about the subject, but I’ve heard that handedness has a lot to do with your brain. Going by that, fighting well with both hands in a VR game would probably need a lot of talent.

I also remember watching some retro TV show saying how left-handedness can be an advantage in things like sports. With VR games being the product of science experiments, it might be safe to assume they’ve counted for handedness too. Well, that’s neither here nor there though. Oh, and by the way, I’m just another right-handed average joe.

“She really blows your expectations away, eh?” “You sure you wanna stick around here, Alto? You’re gonna get killed.” “… be careful.” “So? What kind of expectations are we talking about?” “I meant, like, my first impressions of her.”

I’ll agree that first impressions of Shouko can be a little deceptive. She may seem soft-spoken and well-mannered, but she’s got a violent side to her. Don’t forget that she’s the one who said that offense is the best defense when we were participating in the Dimension Wave. … it’s almost as if she’s from a different generation or something—almost as if she’s a general from Sengoku Japan or the Three Kingdoms of China.

“Oh, I’ve just remembered. Have you been using your Crystal of Mediation, bud?” “… what are you gonna do? Sell it?”

—Stone of Mediation. The ones purchasable at NPC shops grant one bonus effect. On top of that, it also grants something called “Shield Energy” and it works much like an HP gauge like other races have. And, much like an HP gauge, it naturally recovers over time. The only thing about it is that it doesn’t grant that much more health. The weaker ones give about 50 and the best one only gives 1,000 extra points. For balancing’s sake, Stones with low Shield Energy might have a more potent buff and vice versa. I guess it’s up to the player to choose what they want more. I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that Yamikage chose one that buffs her dark magic. Unlike her, though, my build is all over the place, so I chose a stone that improves my Masteries.

“Remember back when we first met, like… I don’t know, a month or so ago? Remember that crystallization from before?”

Oh, right. I totally had something like that. It’s lost somewhere in my inventory, but I should still have it somewhere. Let me just look for it real quick. Unidentified, huh?

“There it is. This thing, right?” “You still haven’t identified it yet?” “I mean, I got it before the system was even implemented into the game…”

To be fair, I suppose the system just hasn’t been activated until recently. I’m sure I’ll find more items that haven’t been patched in too.

“Well, how ‘bout I identify it for you then? I’ve checked out a few items from my line of work, so you could say I’m pretty experienced at it.” “Sure, but I’ve got no money on me.”

With the glow in the dark lure, reel, and cooking utensils, I am out dry. These Stones of Mediation might be good, but if they are, then it’s probably too rich for me…

What, you think I’m the type of guy to hound my friends over a few bucks?” “What, would I be wrong?” “Of course! No way I’d ask for money for something like this.” “Sorry for assuming. Please and thank you, then.”

I handed over the unidentified crystal to Alto and he looked at it with a magnifying glass? a loupe? A soft light enveloped the loupe as soon as he muttered “Item identification.” Immediately, the jet black crystal turns into a pale blue.

“Yep. Looks like you fished up something similar to a Stone of Mediation.” “Fishing and gutting are the only two things I do well anyway.”

Maybe I should try equipping it. It’d be more accurate to say I’m transferring over the soul from the Stone though since they’re kinda like holy artifacts.

Beginner’s Crystal of Mediation Shield Energy: 700/700 +2 Fishing Mastery Attracts more attention from nocturnal sea creatures.

Looks like this one gives two bonus effects and it gives a lot of shield. That’s really special. Even the name is different. The ones in shops are called Stones and this one is a Crystal. That’s probably because of the skills and stuff though.

“Honestly, thanks a bunch.” “Any day, my man. You’re always finding ways for me to make money, so don’t even mention it.”

Our sailing adventure was off to a good start.

Yugioh S3 Ep 9: So Tristan Died

Been resisting that springtime urge to buy a house plant and watch it slowly die while everyone else on my timeline posts beautiful terrariums and wallscapes. I have murdered nearly every plant I own, I have no idea why, I have killed several cacti. But I just found out about logees.com and y’all. Have you seen a rock fig? I want it so bad.

So, instead of wasting my money, I will write here and...not click buy on that rock fig. That beautiful beautiful rock shaped plant. That incredible and glorious miniature Deku Tree.

Also, this week Tumblr said that they’re extending the post limit size for text posts and like...there was a text post limit? Y’all I assumed these posts were hella long, (and in fact way, way, way too long) but like, I never capped a text post limit so...I guess I do all right.

So, switching over to Yugioh, we’re back with the Tristan-Duke-Serenity trio, who are still fighting over Serenity, the world’s most oblivious child. I haven’t gone over too much what their high and low points have been over these past like 5ish episodes but here’s what they’ve been up to, a refresher course of what they’ve been doing since Tristan drowned a Rhinoceros turtle in the lake.

1.) Serenity sneezed once and the Tristan and Duke had a big fight over who gave Serenity a cold

2.)

Sorry that’s all they’ve done. I really thought this would be a list when I started.

It’s been so boring that Serenity has decided this has been the best part of her tourney vacation (she is not wrong). And I just realized--she went to great lengths to get her eyes fixed and now she’s trapped in the VR zone and she doesn’t even need eyes to be here. Hell, if she gets trapped here, she’ll never need eyes again, she’ll have permanent perfect vision 24/7. We keep finding new alternatives instead of spending millions of dollars on Serenity’s eyes and the show kind of glazes over it.

Anyways, we learn a lot about Serenity this episode, mainly that Serenity is a little bit of a space cadet.

(Every episode Duke’s necklace is a little bit more simplified and today it is...almost just a cross. I look forward to seeing what necklace’s final form will be.)

Duke is supposed to be the antagonist of the three, but it really comes off that Tristan and Serenity have goldfish memories and somehow do not recall being launched down a hyperspace tube by five insane computer ghosts trying to consume their bodies. Most people would not forget that happening so like...it’s kinda hard not to side with Duke. Weird that the guy with such ridiculous hair is actually the most level headed person here.

And honestly, if Yugi had been speaking, then Joey and Serenity would have sobered up. Kind of a bummer that Duke doesn’t have the card cred, although Tristan was there when Duke beat Joey.

Like this episode was somewhat frustrating because Duke Devlin really is supposed to be incredibly good at cards, a kid who has only been beaten by the Pharaoh himself, and Tristan and Serenity sort of don’t believe him for some reason. Duke owns a version of the game they are playing. Like, he has ownership over Dungeon Dice and they don’t...care? It’s really weird, but it’s not like Duke has really done anything for an entire season so maybe he deserved this?

But considering that he’s been running for his life/kidnapped since they met up again 2 days ago during Kaiba’s tourney, maybe Duke just has no choice but to hang out with these people who do not respect him at all.

(read more under the cut)

Also, they’re still keeping it a secret that Duke beat Joey because...they’re still lying out of their ass for Serenity’s self esteem. It’s Season 3 and we’re still very concerned that Serenity cannot handle the truth. This girl was in a hospital for weeks and completely blind, I’m pretty sure if anyone can handle hard truths, it’s this girl. But, she’s very pretty, so better not spook her.

I am impressed that this random throwaway plot point from the beginning of S2 has come back to haunt us.

It checks out. This was about as much credentials that Joey had when he joined Pegasus’ tourney. I mean, Joey trained with Grandpa but Grandpa full on died in the middle of their training so...Tristan should have been fine this episode, he’s been interning with card people for like...years.

Anyways, this is where everyone else is.

And Noah decides to try his carrot-under-a-box trick that has so far worked on literally every child he has tried it on.

These kids cannot resist a door to save their lives--and that’s really the whole thing. If they resist the door, then boom, their lives are saved. But nah. Gotta open every door. So they enter, and behind this door is, you guessed it--their favorite place, the ever recurring supervillain of all of Yugioh,

Wow.

Anyways, the fourth of the Big 5 is here and he is a robot that’s gonna do some Russian ballet to the Nutcracker Suite.

Finally, someone who’s strong enough to safely do the ballet alongside Tea.

*I did not watch Gundam, I spent my Torrent days watching Cowboy Bebop and Love Hina and I remember none of it.*

Speaking of, Love Hina--that one probably didn’t age well, didn’t it?

Tristan just digging his own grave for no reason is basically the rest of this episode. Duke Devlin was their out. Duke Devlin has been primed to die for like a full season but then Tristan had to go and fight a giant robot like an idiot. Which is not a sentence I thought I’d be typing about Yugioh, the show about a haunted card game.

PS, I just remembered something. One sec, let me dig this up, something I wrote in S1 that at the time, when everything was about magic and soul snatching, seemed so outlandish that it would never actually happen.

I can’t believe that I predicted myself but at the same time was still just so wrong, because not only do they already have Gundams, they also are card playing Gundams.

This giant VR Gundam could just step on them, right? Like just step on them? I get that would be against Noah’s set of rules but like...

...just a little step.

And what’s even more nuts about this show, is that some things I knew going in, some things you can’t escape just living here on the internet, like Yugi being strapped to a saw at some point (I just didn’t realize it would be from...a clown and would have *such freakin large blades attached*, it was very sudden) and them dueling from the backs of motorcycles (which apparently isn’t even this show. Apparently dueling motorcycles is a spinoff and y’all...kind of disappointed by that). But Gundams? This universe is so zany that Gundams just went completely under the radar.

*this robot casually wearing a jumbo duel disc*

Faced with the reality of none of his friends ever take him seriously, Duke decides to find a weird compromise and asks for double duel. Thing is, this robot also can’t take Duke seriously, and so this super backfires.

Would it in fact simplify everyone’s dating life if we had a 1 in 3 situation? I mean it’s already a mess because we have two 3 in 1′s, but we could balance that right out with a 1 in 3. Then the math will be correct. Balance will be achieved.

And that was how Disaster Serenity sort of stumbled her way onto a dueling platform and killed her brother’s 2nd (3rd) best friend (4th if you count Joey’s rivalry with Kaiba).

Tristan, who’s job as a volunteer janitor is to clean up messes, could not clean up after this Wheeler hot mess.

This is a card now? OK. I see you, product placement. I see why you made Duke Devlin pick up a deck again. Just for this product. That’s fine. At least we did something with Duke Devlin. But we could have maybe used him at any point outside of dungeon dice monsters, ya? Like any point?

Anyway, Serenity explains that if they tell her exactly what to do, they will be fine, so the robot catches wind of this and does this move

Of course. Of course the abandoned warehouse is now full of lava.

Serenity doesn’t even know the rules since she was actually blind until yesterday. She recalls faintly that on the train Tristan told her the rules, and that there were stars on the card that line up with power or whatever. So she looks down at the card and goes “Ah! there are little stars on here!” she plays it, and she realizes that no one has ever told her that sometimes they are placed sideways. Basically Serenity playing this episode as a recently not blind woman would be like me playing cards as someone who fast forwards through all the shuffling.

It’s hard to say if it’s Serenity who caused all this or Tristan who didn’t just let Duke do his one job. Either way, Tristan will absolutely find a way to blame this on Duke until about the point Tristan dies. Between Tristan refusing to play ball with Duke Devlin who is actually a card expert and Serenity playing all of her cards the wrong direction, I’m fully ready for Tristan to die by the end of this episode. Boy had a million chances to just chill and let Duke do his thing so ya, kill him.

Anyways, here’s a desert brought to you by yellow ochre. A LOT of yellow ochre.

Was this also a background for an 80′s space anime?

At some point Nezbitt sat in a boat and watched Kaiba launch what appears to be nuclear missiles at a missile factory. Kaiba did say he needed to throw out the old and start over so like...do Marie Kondo the way you need to do that Marie Kondo thing, Kaiba. This clearly did not bring you joy.

Anyway, lets skip to the good stuff. That’s right this boy: dead because he couldn’t not.

As you all know, I’ve been looking forward to Duke Devlin dying for such a long time now. I’ve been waiting here, tapping my fingers delicately together all Mr Burns-style expecting that the only way they could possibly find a use for Duke Devlin--since they refuse to give him any cards--would be to die.

But guys. I forgot about Tristan.

(bro wants to point out that right above the dungeon dice card was the revive card that would have come in handy right about now.)

Truly unexpected, standing in between Serenity and Duke, the most killable of the Yugioh franchise, Tristan freakin died.

But most importantly, we’re getting very close to death 169 (nice). We skipped 69 proper (a shame) because *somebody* had to kill just a chunk of people at once, Kaiba. So...who’s it gonna be? Probably the Big 5 member who’s cosplaying around as a Sexy Fish? chances are good.

Anyway, if you just got here, we’re in Season 3, if you would like to start at the beginning in S1, click here to read my so many recaps of this show. I cannot believe how much Yugioh content is in this Yugioh show.

5′7, but I’m in the middle of a growth spurt, so yay me

What colour and style is your hair?

Hair colour: almagamation of the various colours i’ve had since ruining my hair + my ruined hair from bleaching it twice myself + my natural hair that’s grown back. So there’s ginger, light brown, dark brown, redish-purple and blonde. Hairstyle: Very thick, wavy/lightly curly, it’s long enough to go past my armpits, but it doesn’t reach my stomache or anything.

What colour are your eyes?

green

Do you wear glasses?

sometimes

Do you wear braces?

used to

What’s your fashion sense?

don’t really have one. most common outfits are plaid shirts over jeans and a black singlet, black dresses (short and long), jumpers/hoodies and jeans or comfy stuff like band t-shirts and trackie dacks

Full name?

Most people just know me as Ghosty

When were you born?

on my birthday

Where are you from and where do you live now? I

I was born in Australia, still live in Australia. Not the same state, but I’ve lived in 5/7 capital cities, been to 6/7, and that number will change when I visit Perth next year.

What school do you go to?

It’s an ecumenical college - starts at Reception and goes up. There are three campuses, i have to visit all three for different subjects.

What kind of student are you?

My best grades are always “attitude” and “participation”. I get along with the teachers and I get good grades, but I tend to cram homework at the last minute. I haven't done that so much lately now that my work holds more weight, but I’d say I’m pretty good.

Do you like school?

I do. There are lots of people that suck, and there are some teachers that I don’t like, but there are plenty of amazing people there, that I love to be around. I have a handful of really supportive teachers, and my friends there are such beautiful people.

Favourite subject?

Music or Maths. Leaning more towards Music because it’s essentially a giant jam session where you hang out with your friends and play music, but I do love maths because it’s a fun subject.

Favourite TV show?

Hm.. I’m not really a tv show person anymore, but i’d say my top few are ‘Game of Thrones’, ‘Grimm’, ‘Pretty Little Liars’ and ‘Rilakkuma and Kaoru’. I can feel the judging from here there’s also Santa Clarita diet and One Day At a Time but I’m too angry that they’re cancelled. also, i excluded anime from this list on purpose

La La Land, Brave, How to Train Your Dragon, Wall-E, Pirates of the Carribean (2&3)

Favourite books?

Wold Hollow by Lauren Wolk, all Faraway Tree and The Wishing Chair books by Enid Blyton, The Hunger Games, then more classical stuff like The Brothers Grimm or Edgar Allan Poe

Do you have any regrets?

a number. but i don’t let them hold me back.

Dream job?

Teach English in Japan

Would you ever like to be married?

I don’t think so. If my partner’s lifelong dream is to have a beautiful wedding, then absolutley, I’m not heartless. But I’m a little superstitious about marriage, and feel like I’d ruin my relationship if we did. I’d sign the paperwork and stuff for the goverment to recognise us, but I don’t feel like you need all the bells and whistles to show you’re in love

Would you like to have kids?

I honestly don’t know. Kind of a morbid outlook, but I can’t predict what kind of world I’d be bringing them into.

How many?

Supposing I had kids, only 1 or 2.

Do you like shopping?

Sure

What countries have you visited?

Outside of my own, just Indonesia.

Scariest nightmare you ever had?

CW: screaming, blood, gore, self harm

i feel like this is a really morbid question, but it is fascinating to see into a persons nightmares, so for the sticky beaks I’ll write this. you ask for scariest, i’ll give you scariest.

There was a woman at the top of some stone steps. Steps like the kind that lead into those old fancy houses in America, but they were stone instead of wood. there were broken ceramic tiles at the top, where she was. She was crying, and clearly in distress. It looked to me like she was in the middle of a mental breakdown and wasn’t really connected with her own reality. my view changed to a man on the lawn in front of her steps, but his bottom half was in hot tar, just melting and burning away. he was screaming out in agony for the woman to take his hand and pull him out (my brain had prior knowledge he was paralysed, but that was the dream world working its magic, not stated in there), but she just stood there too wallowed in herself to do anything. He was practically begging, and you could see how much pain he was in. The woman was just crying and she crouched down - I think she was apologising to the man - and she picked up one of the broken tiles and just started to beat her head in. The man started to scream more and his legs were practically gone, but he then had to watch her do this to herself, as I did. She eventually cracked her skull open and kept beating until she fell limp to the side as her brain spilled onto the floor. The man was left horrified from a) witnessing that and b) knowing he’s going to die in that tar, knowing there’s nothing he can do and nobody that can save him. I was just left watching as this happened, and the way I watched it in my head was as if someone had filmed it and i was watching a movie on vr. though it felt so real. and it was so graphic and intense, but all i could do was watch these poor people suffer and die.

if you’re skipping, it’s over now

Any enemies?

nope

Any significant other?

nope

Do you believe in miracles?

depends on the definition of a miracle. god intervening? no. universe working some magic? yes.

How are you?

kinda cold, but it’s the weekend so I’m happy

Tagging: nobody. if you wanna do it, go for it, because I’m here to break the rules

#personal #yeah i could have done this on my personal account but i was tagged with this one #also i procrastinated this for #over a month and thus i am late to the party

The Swamp Map Ch.1

Foxxay: The two witches find themselves lost in the swamp they were supposed to know well.

---

“I think it’s this way.” Misty looked up from a map and pointed to her right. Her feet didn’t move, however. She instead turned around to seek approval from her companion.

Cordelia came to stand next to her, a little out of breath. “Are you sure? You said the same thing twenty minutes ago, and I feel like we’re only going deeper.”

She looked back. The tall grass and sloshy ground of the swamp concealed their footsteps, keeping them from going back. There was no way of calling for help. Her smartphone had turned into a non-smart, non-phone machine when they stepped into the swamp. The pedometer indicated that she had already achieved her daily activity goals, giving her celebratory and inspirational words. Push the limits! Go farther! She’d really rather not.

The phone beeped, and she turned the sound off without looking.

“I thought the phone didn’t work?” Misty said with a hint of hope.

Cordelia shook her head. “It’s just the alarm for the lunch meeting. Well, at this rate, I’m standing the Mayor up.”

It had started when Misty insisted on stopping by the shack on their drive home from grocery shopping. It was going to be a short stop. They would’ve had plenty of time before the Supreme had to leave the academy for the meeting.

The fault was on Cordelia’s part. She didn’t want to make a detour to their usual path to the shack, which was far from where they were driving. There didn’t seem to be enough time for that. So, they had entered the swamp from an unfamiliar spot.

What a terrible lack of foresight that had been. Haste makes waste. Or, as Myrtle liked to put, premature orgasming pleases none.

“I’m sorry.” Misty ducked her head. “It’s all because I dragged you out here, Miss Cordelia.”

Cordelia put her comforting hand on her shoulder. “Let’s focus on finding our way for now, okay?”

But there seemed no path --not even an animal trail-- to be found around them. The thick clouds hid the sun, and it was impossible for them to even get a sense of direction.

“Oh, I know!” Misty said. “We could use teleportation. Go to the shack, and you could even make it to the meeting in time.”

“It wouldn’t work. To use teleportation, it’s crucial to know one’s location in relation to where you wish to go. Witchcraft 101, Misty.”

“I may or may not have skipped that class.”

“It’s also in the textbook.”

“Never opened it before.”

“Misty--”

“Hey, so, can we teleport back to the car, then?” Misty sounded extra cheerful, dodging further lecturing. “We know where we parked the car.”

“But we don’t know where we are. So, no.”

Misty sighed and buried her nose back in the map. “What if we have walked through a portal to another dimension without knowing? Maybe that’s why everything looks strange.”

“Well, that would be a nice excuse to tell the Mayor, at least,” Cordelia said. She knew that when Misty began talking nonsense like this, she was either hungry or sleepy. Considering the time, it was most likely the hunger.

Misty nodded and hummed, lost in thought. Then, she made up her mind and started walking. Cordelia tried her hardest to walk on the less muddy part of the ground as she followed.

“What do you think lives in other dimensions, Miss Cordelia?”

Cordelia shrugged, only taking a side-glance at her. “I don’t know. It has never occurred to me.”

“Do you believe in aliens?”

“The universe is immeasurable. The size and the age. It’d be ignorant to assume we are the only living organism.”

“I think they are already here on Earth,” Misty said. “But they are so common that we don’t realize they’ve come from other planets.”

“Is that right?”

Misty noddeed with a proud grin. “The octopus. They’re so intelligent, Miss Cordelia. And, they may not use spoken words like us, but they can communicate through their skin color. Humans can’t do that. And the dragonfly-- Did you know these suckers have zero blind spot?”

Despite their situation, Cordelia couldn’t help her smile. “Someone has been binge watching nature documentaries.”

“I swear, I never thought I’d like that tiny computer. I always get the heebie-jeebies around all those machines.” She shrugged. “But it’s nice, getting to learn about the animals I’ve never known before.”

“I’m glad,” Cordelia said. “Perhaps I should give you a VR set for your next birthday so you could go to the safari or the Papua New Guinea jungles.”

“What’s VR mean?”

“Virtual reality. You wear a headset like giant goggles and immerse yourself in the digital world-”

The moment Misty heard the word digital, her curious eyes clouded with doubt mixed with slight disgust. “That means they are fake, though. Nature can’t be controlled. It’s fun because it can only be observed. That's where happy accidents come from.”

“Oh, like getting lost?”

Misty gave her a guilty glance, which made her laugh.

“I agree with you, Misty. But this better be over soon.” Cordelia looked up at the grey sky through the naked branches. “The forecast said it would rain around noon.”

Although this uncalled-for exercise was keeping them warm for now, the air was crisp. It would be freezing in the rain.

Misty wrapped her shawl tighter around her shoulders. “The girls must be chilling in front of the fireplace now, with hot cocoa . . . and s’mores . . . Hollywood is maybe taking a warm, candlelit bath.”

This made both of them shiver even more.

As they kept walking, they stumbled upon what looked to be a huhman trail. Misty opened the map again. Cordelia, on the other hand, looked at the trail in suspicion.

“Misty, I think we are going in circles.”

“What are you talking about? We’ve been walking in a straight line.”

“But, look--” Cordelia neared the biggest tree in their vicinity and pointed at the small pile of stones at the root. “I put them up in place of footprints.”

Misty’s hesitant gaze travelled back and forth between the stones and the map. “How’d you know it’s your doing, though? Maybe some people got lost before us and did that.”

“With my magical signature in it?” Cordelia picked up the stone at the top, pushing it into Misty’s palm.

The doubt on Misty’s face vanished in an instant. The trace of the Supreme power was too evident to ignore.

“Right?” Cordelia said.

With tight lips, Misty sighed through the nose. “Alright, Miss Gretel. You’re right. We’ve been going in circles.”

“Hansel. It's the brother who leaves a trail of breadcrumbs. Not the sister.”

Misty’s sigh turned into a groan. She sat on the protruding root, folding up the map in surrender. “I wish I had a bagel right now.”

They had bought blueberry bagels at the supermarket along with her favorite sesame ones. But everything was left in the car.

“Why isn’t there a spell for conjuring food up?” Misty said.

“Witchcraft doesn’t work miracles, as regular people think. It has to abide by the law of the universe like everything else. You can’t create something out of nothing.”

“We make fire out of nothing.”

Cordelia smiled. “Not exactly. There are certain molecules in the air that produce heat. Magic just helps you collect those molecules, pack them so dense that they start to combust.”

“I understood none of that.” Her stomach grumbled as if in agreement. “Are there molecules that could produce food?”

“No.” Cordelia sat next to her on the root. Her hand reached for the folded map in Misty’s hands. “May I?”

Misty obliged to the request without a word, too tired and hopeless. It pained Cordelia to see her like that. It was way better when Misty was rambling on all gibberish.

Cordelia ran her hand up and down her shawl-clad back. “It’ll be alright, Mist. I promise. Now, can you tell me where we might be?”

It goes without saying that the swamp map didn’t compare to the sophistication of the city map. It only had a few markings here and there. But it still showed the circumventing highways and the bodies of water spread across the place. Until now, it was more than enough.

Near the center of the map was a cross mark.

Misty’s index finger hovered over the area between the cross and the south-east edge of the swamp. “Around here, I think. The car is parked somewhere here, because this is the road we were driving on, and--”

“Wait, no.” Cordelia’s index finger joined over the map. Her eyes scrutinized it as if it was a Latin spell book. “No, Misty. This is our highway”--She pointed at the one almost on the opposite side of the map--“We were supposed to go east. But we’ve been . . . going west.”

Misty held the map closer to her face, turned it upside-down, and looked at Cordelia with deer-in-the-headlights eyes.

“Misty.”

“Hmm?”

“Have you been reading the map upside-down this whole time?”

In grave silence, Misty gave a slow, thoughtful nod. “It appears that it is the case.”

It was Cordelia's turn to let out a groan.

“I’m sorry, Miss Cordelia.” Misty took her hands and blinked her puppy eyes. “Please, don’t be mad at me.”

Cordelia swore Misty knew that look could get her away with anything, at least, as long as the Supreme was concerned.

“I’m not mad, Misty. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes.” She gave gentle pats on the back of Misty’s hand before returning her attention to the map. “Okay, so, the river we walked by earlier is not this one, but more likely this one. If we follow the water, we may be able to get out.”

But the look on Misty’s face betrayed her apprehension. “What if-- Not that I doubt you, but what if the water led us deeper instead of out? How’d we know if we should go upstream or downstream?”

“Shit, you have a point.” That was a possibility that Cordelia didn't like to dwell on. “But you know what? Either way, the swamp would end if we kept walking.”

Misty’s stomach grumbled again as her expression turned into that of despair. “I should’ve had an extra begel this morning,” she said, standing on her weakening feet.

Cordelia wrapped her arm around her waist in support. “You can have as many bagels as you want when we get home. I won’t stop you.”

Survey #198

“i woke up on the wrong side of my floor.”

What do you get tired of having to explain? It's not something asked frequently at all, but since I had to to new doctors and ER workers etc., I'm not a fan of re-telling the break-up story with Jason. What perk of being “grown up” lived up to your childhood expectations? Independence, though I. Don't act on it much with my dependent ass. Who is your least favorite character in the last show you watched? Shoot me, Sara and Con, but so far Zuko as a villain doesn't impress me. If you weren’t in a relationship with your significant other (or last) and you met them for the first time tonight, would you hook up with them? I wouldn't "hook up" with anyone. Is there a place that makes you sad to return to? It's just better for me to stay away from the place Jason and I took our first prom pictures. I actually returned there last fall to take pictures however; I was fine, but it still felt weird. What is the most morally questionable thing that you’ve done? Idk. Has anyone ever surprised you by changing when you didn’t believe that they could? Dad, 100%. What is the best advice a sibling has given you? Something from Ashley regarding the break-up when I was starting to recover, but I can't remember exactly what. Was there an opportunity that you feel like you missed out on in high school? Hm... thought about this quite a bit, and I actually don't think so? I mean I wish my mental health had been better, but I overall had a fair experience. What was the biggest lie you’ve told a significant other? Idk, it's just about impossible for me to tell an s/o a serious lie; or small ones, for that matter. Maybe that I wasn't mad about something when I was? Idk. Have you ever treated someone badly because someone else treated you badly? I'm sure I have at some point, just not deliberately. What is your favorite lyric from your favorite band? Don't- What is the worst thing you’ve said or done while PMSing? Boy, I've done some dumb shit. Probably self-harm (no, it's not something I do now). Did you have an irrational childhood fear? Oh, I'm sure. None are coming to me now... Well, do you consider serious separation anxiety "irrational?" Do you and your significant other have ‘a song’? What is it? Oh boy, a lot. "Pretty Woman" by Van Halen and Paramore's "The Only Exception" get me the most, though. Do you ever give things away to your friends? Don't really have anyone to do that with. Is there anyone’s friendship or relationship, in particular, that makes you jealous? Nope. Well, it'd be absolutely incredible to have a friendship (so in this case, not counting Sara) like Rhett and Link. I'm not even remotely kidding, they were the ones that made me question my former, humiliating outlook on homosexuality because my heart just yelled at me to ship them & I still do lol. Do you have anyone’s tweets sent directly to your phone? Whose? No. Have you ever caused a lot of noise in a library? No. Do you complain a lot? Eh, depends on the day and subject. Have you ever been to a music festival? Yes, but only to take pictures for a photography class. What was the last thing that completely took your breath away? The blood wolf moon. I stayed up 'til like, 2-3-something to see totality, and it was fucking incredible. I hadn't seen a full lunar eclipse since I was a kid. If your life was a movie, what would it be rated? R, probably... mostly due to excessive cursing lmao. Are you more of a talker or a listener? A listener. Have you ever called in at a radio station & dedicated a song to someone? No. Would you ever go to a protest or be involved in a protest? Sure. When playing rock, paper, scissors which do you usually pick? I think scissors. Have you ever tried to write a book? Yes. Have you ever been hit by a chunk of hail? Maybe a small one? Would you ever try any extreme sports? No. Is it true that if you don’t love yourself, you can’t love another? I've always found that idea as absolute and utter bullshit. Do you ever try making your dream up before falling asleep? I just daydream; I don't like, actively hope it'll transfer into a legitimate dream. Ever been on a golf cart? Yes. Have you ever slapped someone in the face? No. Last person you took a nap with? Sara. Are you embarrassed by anything you have in your bedroom? No. Is your last ex currently in a relationship? Not to my knowledge. Has anyone ever given you roses? Yeah. Would you rather have your parents catch you having sex or smoking weed? asjfpawe quite honestly, smoking weed. The former would probs kill me. Do you owe anybody money? No. How many times have you gotten into a argument with the last person you kissed? Now as adults and not stupid kids, just a handful. Maybe just one or two serious ones. What’s the most positive thing anyone has ever said about you? When I actually had a brain, compliments I got regarding my intelligence meant a lot. Maybe there's something else, but that's just the first that came to mind. What’s the most positive thing you would say about yourself right now? I'm very empathetic and care a lot about cheering people up. Have you ever been to church? What was it like? I grew up going to church, and at no point in my life did I enjoy it. When I was old enough to not be forced to go, I quickly stopped, even when I was still religious. What’s your favorite thing to do on a sunny day? If it's not hot, swim. How many different drugs have you tried? None that weren't prescription. List each drug, and how it made you feel. N/A Which drug do you consider to be your favorite (including alcohol)? Well, I don't even like the taste of alcohol... but I guess that has to be the answer as it's the only one I'll ever indulge in. Who have you had sex with in order from best to worst (you can use initials if you want)? Only done it with one person. What’s your favorite kind of alcoholic beverage? Margaritas. Do you feel like different alcohols have different effects on you? No. Honestly, how good do you think you are in bed? What about oral? Eh, I'm shy, but I don't think I'm bad. It was good enough to get the job done, at least. I fucking hated oral so therefore rarely did it, so idk. What’s your biggest thing you want to accomplish? Overcoming my hard-as-diamonds anxiety. Three favorite candies. Go. Reese's. Sour Punch Straws. Peach rings. What was the last stupid thing someone talked you into believing? Idk. What’s a song that would describe your life at the moment? I legit feel "In The End" by Linkin Park pretty deeply of the late. Man, somehow been a year and still R.I.P. Chester. ;_; What was the last thing that you shared? Idk. Do you ever eat leftover pizza cold? I love cold pizza. Where are you the most ticklish? FEET. When you’re wanting a midnight snack, what do you normally get? I don't have them. Which cartoon character would you want to keep as a pet? Maybe Vulpix. Small and cute and isn't like, actually on fire. Have you ever considered a career in music/acting? No. When was the last time you felt seriously embarrassed? At a VR class when I was talking and completely lost my train of thought and caused like five awkward silences. If your bedroom walls could talk, what would they most likely say? "Bitch u ever move?" Did you ever really believe in Santa Claus? Yes. Have you ever seen a movie that was better than the book it was based on? Maybe? I'm unsure, but I doubt it. Did you like the show Invader Zim? I never really watched it. What’s the greatest/most influential song you’ve ever heard? Ozzy's "Life Won't Wait." Have you ever bought yourself a present at Christmas? I mean, I've been given money to buy something myself. Is there someone that you’re mean to for no good reason? No? I have damn good reason to be unfriendly to Bentley, but not mean. What was the last thing you got out of the freezer? A rat for Venus. How many people signed you latest yearbook? Not too many, but I didn't ask a lot to. How is your mom today? Probably the same as always: Tired and stressed. Do you prefer long or short hair on the opposite sex? Generally, longer hair. But of course it varies on the person. Would you swap your first name for your middle? No, that would sound so weird. Plus I like my name. Would you rather have 10 siblings or be an only? Hm... growing up as an only child would suck, I think. Ten is a hell of a lot, but I'd prefer that over none. What is your favorite soda? Mountain Dew Voltage is my Achilles' heel. Do like country music? No. It's seldom I'll like any. Tim McGraw impresses me most of the time, though, but not to where I'll go look up a song and binge it. Are you afraid of black cats? Not at all. Do you watch the lightning during storms? No, I stay inside. If I'm in a car though, I keep an eye out. Do you like Scentsy stuff? Sure, but I don't buy anything from it. Do you like House? Never seen it. How many tracks were on the last album you listened to? Idr. Which one of your relatives is most likely to embarrass you? Probably Dad.

Are there any songs in your iTunes library that you’ve never listened to? No. Who is the most intelligent person you know? My psychiatrist probably qualifies as a genius. Who was the last female you were introduced to? My personal VR coach. Who was the last male you were introduced to? I have no idea. Who is that last person who harassed and annoyed you? I feel like it was some kid that annoyed me, but idr. Who is the last person who made you feel hurt? Probably Mom. What was the last thing you were worried about? My job future. Are you worried about anyone now? Not really. What time of day feels the most magical to you? Early morning, especially when it's dewy with a light mist and a pink sky as the sun starts to rise... whew. Love it. Who are you jealous of? My sisters and an old friend that's a professional photographer now. What is the last physical ailment you took medication for? Nausea. If you are a YouTuber, are you behind on posting videos? N/A Who is a great YouTuber you have recently discovered? Not really anyone recently. What color is your bathrobe? I don't have one. What is a great pain reliever? Depends on the pain? Are you interested in a guy who has a girlfriend? No. Do you sell any products? If so, what do you sell? No. Are you responsible with money? I believe so, having learned to be very frugal from growing up poor. My weakness is tats, though... I have to make a genuine effort to save for other things. Are you responsible in general? Not very, honestly... but it also depends on what I have responsibility over. Do you use a nightlight? No. Kaiju's and Venus' lights stay on, however, if you wanna count that. Do you have a girl that is strictly a friend that isn’t related to you that you can go to? Not really. Are you “the good guy”, or “the bad guy”, or somewhere in between? I guess the good guy? Have you ever watched the original British Skins? No, nor the American. It disgusted me. Do you like Oreos? Hell yeah. Have you ever had a sex dream about someone you barely know? I don't believe so. Were you a cute baby? I was, dude. Would you ever shoot someone right in the face? If it was in self-defense with someone trying to seriously hurt or kill me, that's right where I'd aim. Have you ever sold drugs? No. Have you ever been shot? No. Are you on good terms with your parents? Yeah. What’s your opinion on border control? It's necessary for the protection of our country. I'm totally for legal immigration, mind you. Have you had any major tragedies in your life? I'd say one event qualifies. What do you think of open casket funerals? No opinion, I think... A part of me feels like the risk of someone disrespecting the body isn't worth it, but simultaneously I firmly feel the actual family and those very close to this person have the right to see them one final time looking at peace. Have you ever had a pet rat? Quite a number. I had two pairs where three died of unknown causes, while one developed cancer and passed. Went through two that died last year; one had to be sick upon adopting her, as she passed very quickly, and her sister immediately followed suit. Adopted Mitsu, later another to try to give her a partner (rats are social and aren't supposed to live alone), but she'd already grown territorial, so the sweetheart had to be returned. Now I just have Mitsu. Could you go a year without sex? It's already been three, and longer wouldn't matter to me. Have you ever wore pajamas a whole straight week? I'm just about always at home in my pj's, and considering I leave like, never... but not the same pair that long. Have you ever waxed your legs? No. Have you ever taught a little kid to flick people off? The fuck, no. Are you more of a taker or giver? Giver. Have you ever itched yourself until your skin was raw? I have permanent scars on both shins from that; my skin becomes unbearably itchy after I shave and then scrub my legs in the shower. Nothing seems to stop it. Do you always clear your history after using the computer? No. Have you ever been chased by a cat? Playing with kittens/juveniles, probably, considering just how many we've had throughout my life. Have you ever had your food stolen by a bird? No. Have you ever dyed your hair light auburn? No. Do you take really good care of your feet? Run now w/ potential TMI: My feet are like. Nothing but thicc calluses from when I would walk like crazy. I haven't been able to get rid of them for nothing, and it's been YEARS. Like, I probably need a professional for this shit lmao. My nails are fine and I keep them clean, it's just the callus ordeal. Is the snow where you live the icey kind or powdery kind? It can be either. Do you get blizzards where you live? I think we've only had one that qualified in my entire life. Can't remember if the wind was bad... What’s the coldest you can remember it ever being? With the wind chill, it was actually around 2 degrees, I think. When was the last time you did something rebellious? Um. Idk. What are your favorite things to create? OCs. What’s an old hobby that you want to pick back up? Reading. :/ Do you ever read books to a pet? No. Which has better craft supplies: Dollar Tree or Dollar General? I have zero clue. Which dollar store do you shop at the most? I think Dollar General? What color is your trash can in your bedroom? I don't have one in here. What was the theme of your childhood bedroom? Baby animals. What color was your nursery as a baby? Idr. What was the last surgery you had? A cyst removal. What’s something you prefer to keep private? Lol yeah, ask that on a survey I'mma share with the Internet. What is something cheesy your high school’s principal has said? Idr. I don't remember much of him other than he was a goddamn ass. Are you more of a rule breaker or rule follower? Depends, but typically, a follower. Are you good at prioritizing? Idk. Which holiday is your favorite to decorate for? HALLOFUCKINWEEN If you’re not religious, were you ever? What made you lose faith? I was raised religious, but just life in general brought me to just theism, which I don't really consider a "real" religion. Is there a particular tradition that you follow from your heritage? No. What are your thoughts on where feminism is today? Yo calm your tits. How would you describe your aesthetic? Likes pastel and soft things but is also gore-crazed and obsessed with dark shit that'll probably lead me to Hell. Are you at all interested in philosophy/theory? If so, what philosopher/theorist caught your attention? If not, would you ever consider reading any? YES; however, as someone with OCD that heavily manifests itself as incredulous ruminations to the point I face breakdowns, I try to avoid philosophical debates. No one in specific has caught my attention, but I mean, I haven't exactly made an effort to learn about anyone. Have you ever played any virtual reality games? What was that like? If not, would you ever like to try? No, but I would LOVE to. Is there anything about technology that scares you? The potential it has to reaching some form of sentience the more and more we advance with it. I ain't about that singularity shit. What’s a song that you know that does a lot of wordplay or anything that you find clever? Shit dude, lots of Otep songs. She can make rhymes and such with the creepiest shit. Bring me back the Otep whose music wasn't just political ranting, please. What do you do before you go to bed? The last thing I usually do is DragonVale. Where did you last go out to eat? Hardee's. Do you have unlimited texting? Yeah. Who of the opposite sex has seen you at your worst? Jason or Girt. Girt came to the ER after my suicide attempt, my lowest of low points, while Jason saw me in absolute hysterics the night of the break-up when I said something suicidal so he came here briefly. I feel each was like... a different kind of "worst," if that makes sense. One was absolute, utter defeat, while the other was seeing a human absolutely shatter. Have you ever won anything from the radio? No. Will you keep your last name when you get married? No. What song are you listening to? Shane Dawson's "Fuck Up" is a Big Mood. Do you know anyone whose name starts with an X? Not that I know personally, I think. When was the last time you took a picture with your pet(s)? Roman like over a month ago, Venus a while before... I rarely take pictures including me because I'm ugly. Who’s your favorite Muppet? I don't know like, any. What’s your favorite monster? (can be Monsters Inc., horror films, stories, or myths, whatever) These are too many options man. I guess probably Pyramid Head. But I'm crazy for cryptids too man, I love me some Jersey Devil and Mothman shit. Have you ever seen a polar bear in person? At zoos. What’s your favorite thing to order from Taco Bell? If you heard me eating cinnabon delights in the next room, you'd have all reason to believe a porno was being filmed. What do you think of off-brand soda? I'm fine with them. Which do you like better – carpet or wood floor? I generally find wood prettier, but carpet is comfier. Getting down on and up off the wooden floor when exercising hurts, though. Buuut wood is also easier to clean... but also louder... why the fuck am I getting this deep into a question jeez idk basically. What embarrasses you the most in front of other people? Being a 23 y/o teenage fangirl lmao. Have you considered running for president? Hell no. If you had to choose one thing you were most passionate about, what would it be and why? Hm... there's a lot. I suppose ending poverty? Or environmental preservation, which I am already extremely passionate about, but I could actually take more action. Where is the most beautiful place on earth and why? I'd imagine the Grand Canyon. It's so vast and ancient and gives you an idea of just how small we truly are. Are ghosts real? Yes. Are aliens real? Probably. Do you know how to play dominoes? No. What food will you absolutely not, under any circumstances, eat? Anything from an endangered animal. Would you ever adopt a child? If I wanted kids, possibly. What is one thing you’re embarrassed to admit you want to try? *shrugs* Is there something you wish you had said sorry for but never did? I wish I'd told Jenna about the Joel thing. Have you been on your first date? If so, how did it go? Yeah, it was fine. Cute really, though unorthodox as he invited my mother along. It actually did make me less nervous tho. What woke you up this morning? My cat meowing his damn brains out. He does this loud, deep meow when he really wants something, and it woke me up. He does that some mornings, and I have no clue why. Your mood? Eh, nervous. I have a short VR class today, and I have to talk to the woman who handles my case, and I don't believe she'll be happy I haven't applied anywhere yet, even though it's been like, five days... I've been working on getting an Office certificate instead. Did you ever watch The Land Before Time when you were younger? I WAS IN LOVE. Do you check your texts right away when you receive them? Usually. What feeling do you have the most difficulty in expressing? Envy. How do you think you would handle yourself in a crisis situation? Have an absolute panic attack and die lmao. But it also depends on if anyone is in the situation with me. Like if someone I seriously loved was endangered, I have a feeling I'd rush to immediately help them. Does any particular season make you happier than others? Why/why not? Autumn. Beautiful and cool. In what circumstances do you feel most at peace? When I'm with Sara and we're both happy and laughing. :') What is the best thing about being a male/female? Female: It's more "socially acceptable" to show emotions. Male: Don't have to worry about menstruation cycles. Do you enjoy hugging people? Do you enjoy receiving hugs? Yeah. Do you think that luck has much to play in your life? No. I don't believe people have premeditated-by-nature good or bad luck. It's all random or related to your own choices. Do you think you are competitive? Do you really dislike losing? In only a few areas; no. What is a talent you wish you possessed? The ability to draw hyperrealistically. When was the last time you went to McDonald’s? It's been quite a while. Maybe around a month. Could you go a whole day without your computer? Definitely not willingly. Have you ever really liked someone to begin with, then changed your mind about them? Yeah, Juan. Who was the last person you spoke to on the phone, for more than half an hour? What did you talk about? Most likely Colleen. It was a personal matter, so not saying. Has your ex fallen in love with anyone else, since the two of you broke up? I'm assuming Jason did with Ashley, maybe not. When was the last time you looked at your significant other/crush’s Facebook profile? Been a while. What was the last thing that one of your parents bought for you? Food for me. The last time you went to the hairdressers, what did you have done? A muuuch-needed trim.

Disney is Weird...

Like, really weird. And I’m not just gonna drop the same Pixar Universe theory on you that you’ve probably heard over a thousand times. No. What I want to talk about are the Disney Parks, because, boy, is there some weird stuff going on there.

I went to Disney World for the very first time last summer. It was magical. But that’s not what you’re here for. There’s a lot of interesting diversions Disney has taken in its march towards being the most magical place on Earth. After I visited, I became obsessed with finding out how they do it. How the Imagineers make the rides, what kinds of rides get rejected, things like that and I was not ready for what I found. Here’s some of my favorites:

1. Extra-TERROR-estrial

So, in 1995, a guy by the name of Michael Eisner was in charge of Disney. And if you choose to do more research on the Disney Parks, you’ll see his name pop up a lot, and not in a good way. One of the very first things he did as CEO was take his teenage son with him on his tour of the Disney Parks to see what they could be doing different, better, even. Eisner’s son complained that there was nothing for kids his age to do at Disney World. So Michael decided that in an effort to make his parks more “edgy” and “cool”, he would start incorporating franchises that were cool with the teens. And nothing says “Disney” quite like the 1979 thriller horror, Alien. Eisner immediately started trying to get the licensing to open a ride based on the movies in Tommorrowland while the Imagineers watched in horror as they were forced to create a ride that went against everything Walt believed in.

Things really took a turn for the worst when Eisner couldn’t even get the licensing rights to the movie the ride was based on, and the concept was pretty much complete. So instead, they turned it into a generic alien horror ride, however, the star of the show looks a lot like a creature whose name rhymes with menomorph. If you’d like to see a full walkthrough of what this ride was like and the history (and potential future of this ride), I’d suggest this video. Naturally, the ride was a disaster and everyone hated it, so the ride got turned into Stitch’s Great Escape. Which was also a disaster that everyone hated. But all of that is covered in the video

2. DisneyQuest

Okay, buckle up, ‘cause here’s where things get really wacky. We’re still in the 90s, when everything was trying to be all “epic” this and “wicked” that. Also, Chuck E. Cheese’s and stuff were starting to be really cool. So our pal Michael Eisner said, “Let’s do that, but better.” And so they did. Sort of.

The 90s was trying really hard to make VR work. Like, really hard. Which was really cool. Except for the fact that the technology and the graphics just weren’t quite there. Instead of being fully immersed into a brand new world to explore, you mostly just ended up with disappointment sprinkled with motion sickness. Disney wanted to open a place that was like Chuck E. Cheese on steroids while utilizing VR technology to design the attractions within. And thus DisneyQuest was born. The goal of DisneyQuest was to provide an amusement park experience in towns all across America. In their bid to do so, Imagineers created a couple of really cool attractions like Aladdin’s Magic Carpet Ride and Ride the Comix. It was a place for families to play cool games in an immersive atmosphere, as well as grab a bite to eat from The Cheesecake Factory Express. It was really cool until it really wasn’t. Because of the failure of EuroDisney, which is a whole other separate post on its own, Disney didn’t have the funds to keep building them all over the U.S., but they had already secured land for a lot of them. So in a couple cities, there was land that Disney had bought but didn’t plan on developing, leaving a giant eyesore in the middle of those cities and a sour taste in the mouths of those that lived there.

At it’s prime, there were two DisneyQuests. One in Chicago and the other in Disney World, which seems a little redundant. The one in Chicago ended up closing but the one at Disney World stayed open for a weirdly long amount of time. Like, until 2017. And towards the end, it started to get kinda sad. There was a sort of cool promotion for Wreck-It-Ralph they did, where they put Fix-It Felix games in there but that's about all that happened to the place between about 2000 and 2017. And that’s how Disney tried to be Chuck E. Cheese’s but failed miserably. Where’s my Shane Dawson video about that?

3. The Yeti

So I didn’t get to go to Animal Kingdom during my visit but it is definitely one of my #goals. I want to do the Avatar rides, and see Animal Kingdom at night, and all that cool stuff. But what really fascinates me about the Animal Kingdom is Expedition Everest.

Expedition Everest is one of the more thrilling rides within the Disney Theme Parks and also features one of the largest moving animatronics to ever be built. Or at least it would if the animatronic moved. See, when Imagineers designed the roller coaster, they designed it inside Animal Kingdom’s icon, Mount Everest. This ride takes you through an abandoned mountain camp as you try to escape the legendary monster of the peaks. As guests ride through the mountain, they see shadows of the Yeti, hear it roar, and finally come face to face with the beast as it lunges at the ride cars, with guests narrowly escaping. That is until March of 2009 when it was found that the Yeti was causing cracks to form in the mountain’s structure and that it would be irresponsible to allow the Yeti to continue its reign of terror. So they switched to plan B, or rather B-mode. The Yeti’s B-mode features a still Yeti, with its arms stretched toward the car. Then, strobe effects are activated to give the illusion that the monster is moving.

So when will the Yeti animatronic be able to strike out once again? It’s sort of up in the air. In order to fix the Yeti, they would have to dismantle the entire mountain, fix the foundation, and put it back together again. Fans remain hopeful that it will be fixed thanks to Imagineer Joe Rhodes who has sworn to fix the Yeti. Until then, it remains in Disco mode. So named, after its fancy strobe lights.

So Yeah...

Disney has some weird facts lying around. If you want to read more about some other spooky Disney rides like Extra-TERROR-estrial, I recommend this Buzzfeed article. For other weird little tidbits about Disney Parks history (don’t even get me started on America Sings), and other theme parks, I suggest this channel, this channel, and this channel.

Tell me some weird stuff you guys know about Disney. I love these kinds of things.

It’s Just A Game! (Part Two)

Title: It’s Just A Game!

Pairing: Inoo/Reader/Yamada

Genre: PG

A/N: I’m so glad to see the support for the first part of this series! I wasn’t so sure about it in the beginning. Thank you all so much and I hope you enjoy!

P.S. This is mostly a filler chapter… Uhh just establishing the things between Yamada and Inoo. Next part will have more content I hope. Lots of love <3

….

“And so… He’s trapped in a game?” Yama frowned, chewing the end of one of my pens.

“Basically.” I said, snatching the pen from him, looking at it with disgust and tossing it back at him.

“That’s weird. I’d say I don’t believe you but you don’t have a reason to lie about this. And the email you showed seems legit, strangely enough.” Yama shrugged, chewing on the pen again.

“Exactly. And so, I accepted the request.” I nodded.

The two of us were in my room, sitting on the bed as I told him about the events that spiraled into my life.

“You’re going to get Little Prince Inoo Kei to fall in love with you?” He raised an eyebrow. ”That’s so not like you! Don’t tell me you secretly admire him!” He pointed at me, accusing me of some sort of blasphemy. I waved him off.

“Don’t be silly. I’m sure there’s another way! It’ll like all games I’ve played after all. He won’t actually fall in love with me. I just have to make the right choices for the right ending… ” I trailed off, eyes widening.

“What?” Yamada looked around, confused and concerned.

“What if there’s a bad ending!?” I screeched. Yamada sighed.

“I’m sure the bad ending is he doesn’t fall in love with you and the game is sent somewhere else for testing.” Yamada sighed.

He stood up and stretched, eyeing the game console that was plugged in to my PC.

“Is that the VR crap?” He asked, examining it.

“Yup.” I nodded.

He picked it up.

“Can I play the game? I wanna see Inoo.” Yamada grinned. I rolled my eyes.

“You’re abusing your privileges. But fine, get in there, and tell him about the email and stuff. Don’t tell him how to get him out though. I don’t want him to start getting defensive from the start.” I started the program and adjusted the helmet to fit Yama’s big head.

While Yamada acted out his strange desires, I decided to look up more about the game, and about the producers.

Doki Doki Gakuen: VR, is a remake of one of our favorite games, made into virtual reality. The goal of this game is to provide girls (and boys) an accurate simulation of what real love is like. From being in able to characterize all your love interests into your ideal type, to tweaking their personality to fit one that you want, it’s a game that we guarantee you will make your heart beat.

I groaned. It didn’t provide me any answers at all. “Ughh…” I hear Yama groan from the chair.

“You back?” I asked, walking over.

“Yupp I am.” He pulled off the helmet, blinking a few time to get used to the scenery again.

“What did Inoo say when he saw you?” I questioned him.

“He didn’t see me, he saw you. The character looks like you remember?” He shrugged.

I paused. Going once. Going twice.

“AAAAAAAA!” I screamed, realizing that. Yamada was taken aback.

“Holy shit calm down darling! I told him it was me don’t worry!” Yamada freaked, calming me down.

“Right right.” I calmed down, sighing.

“What did he say?” I asked, sitting back down on the bed and grabbing a pillow and hugging it.

“Thank goodness you’re back (y/n)- and then I cut him off and explained everything. He didn’t say much after that.*

“That’s it? That’s odd, usually he’s more.. Vocal about things.” I cracked a toothy grin.

“Like in bed?” Ryosuke snickered and my smile fell into a frown as I smacked him lightly.

“Gross!” I made a face, but also felt hot thinking about Inoo in bed.

“You like the thought!” Yamada gasped watching as my face grew redder.

“I do not. Now shoo, I’m gonna go play games.” I waved him off, trying to hold back my face from going tomato red.

“Say hi to dear Inoo-chan for me!” Yamada snickered as I pushed him off my bed, letting him out my room. I cupped my warm face and took a deep breath before sitting at my computer and putting on the goggles. It’s virtual reality time.

“Hey Inoo-” I was cut off immediately as the mushroom-haired boy sent a look in my direction.

“Is this really (y/n)?” He came closer suspicious.

“Uh yes.” I answered, stepping away from the uncomfortably close proximity we were in.

“Okay.” He nodded, leaning back.

“You believed me that easily?” I grinned. He shrugged.

“No one else is that bad at maneuvering the protagonist. It looks like your one arm is spazzing out.” Inoo laughed. I looked down to see that indeed my right arm was not functioning properly. So I took off my goggles and saw that one of the cables were lodged between two thick textbook. I freed the cable and put the goggles back on.

“Better?” I asked. He nodded nonchalantly.

“Did you get that email?” Inoo asked, walking away as if to start a conversation while waking. I made a face and hurried after him, falling into step with his pace.

“I did.” I answered, wondering why his actions seemed so otome game-esque. He nodded.

“So you know how to get me out of here?” He turned to me, eyes gazing. Gosh he’s such a pretty boy. I couldn’t tell him how to get him out if the game, because that would be so awkward.

“Well, sort of. There were hints, that’s all. The main hint was just play through the game.” I said. An objective popped up in my vision that said GET A FIVE STAR RATING ON A DATE AT THE CAFE.

“Hey there’s a Cafe… Over there… Let’s go sit down and talk?” I said, stumbling over my words. Very smooth (y/n), very smooth. I inwardly groaned. Inoo shrugged.

“Why not. It’s a pretty nice place, considering this is virtual reality and stuff.” He stated, walking with me to the small building. We walked in and a programmed woman greeted us and led us to a table. And as soon as we ordered drinks we started talking. By some magical event, we instantly clicked. It was slow but, the conversation began to flow perfectly.

“Did you see what Mrs. Harrison wore last week? It was horrible! And she dress coded me for wearing a jacket with ‘too many colors’ on it!” Inoo exclaimed, mimicking the voice of our teacher. I laughed hysterically, nodding.

“I saw it! I didn’t know that wearing all red could look so tacky until then!” I giggled, taking a sip of my coffee. He shook his head as the laughter died down.

OBJECTIVE COMPLETE. Five stars flashed in my visor. I smiled before glancing at the time.

“It’s getting late wow. I should head back… To the umm… Real world…” I blushed, embarrassed at how I worded that sentence. Inoo sighed waving his hand.

“I get it. I’ll just go back home. My house in this game is pretty fucking sweet if I’m being honest.” He smiled, though I could see a hint of sadness in it.

“I’ll be back soon. I’ll get you out of this game. I promise.” I nodded determined, pumping my fist. He pumped his fist back, mocking me slightly.

“See you, (y/n).” He gave me a large grin.

And with that I left the game, somehow even more in love with Inoo Kei.

“Shit.” I cursed as I pulled off the VR goggles, breathless. I stared at the machinery longingly, wanting to just stay there, talking to him. My heart throbbed. Am I seriously in love with him? Is this more than just me being infatuated by his good looks and adorable smile? I shook my head, the thoughts running through it.

“I need to talk to Yama.” I sighed, and pulled out my phone, where I had one missed message, from my dearest best friend.

From Yama-chan <3

-Heyyyyyyy (y/n) I was just wondering but could you figure out if u can screw someone in virtual reality? Because hey, I wouldn’t mind giving it a go if u really can.

He is disgusting. How does anyone see anything in him?

To Yama-chan <3

-You are disgusting.

From Yama-chan <3

-I love u too. Welcome back! How was ur date with mushroom boy- I mean Inoo?

I rolled my eyes.

To Yama-chan <3

-Great thanks. Better than this conversation we’re having

-We still going out to our weekly ice cream outings tomorrow?

From Yama-chan <3

-Ouch you wound me :(

-u bet we will. Some quality best friend time gurl.

-we should try that new place too!

To Yama-chan <3

-never use the word gurl again.

-sounds great. See you tomorrow loser

-love ya

I signed off after receiving a multitude of individual messages from Yama that all consisted only of the word “gurl”. I couldn’t help but groan. He is by far the most infuriating person is the world. I sighed and got ready to go to bed, ready for a brand new day. The day where I get ice cream with Yamada Ryosuke, the most infuriating person in the entire world. And hopefully another day with… Inoo Kei.

#hey! say! jump #yamada ryosuke #hey say jump #inoo kei #story #fluff #pg #for some reason i can't get the flipping paragraphs to work.#i'll probably fix it on desktop if i remember or something #copy and pasting from google docs into tumblr is a nightmare #they've got to fix that honestly.#i'm mentally crying everytime i attempt it lol #It's just a game!#Part Two

Teresa’s 100k Challenge

“There will come a day when I can not do this. Today is not that day.”

“We don’t accomplish extraordinary things alone.”

With these two quotes running through my head on a covid-winter solstice evening, I set out for the biggest challenge I’ve ever willingly undertaken.

You probably know most of the details if we’ve connected through Facebook, Instagram or Strava (or if you’ve been in my presence recently!), but here’s the gist. Run 4.17 kilometres every hour on the hour for 24 hours. By the end, the total will be 100 kms. Hope like crazy the weather and my body cooperate and I don’t run out of clean clothes, good snacks, or mental strength. Hope all those crazy friends who said they’d run with me at crazy hours actually show up and I don’t have to run alone. Hope that I can finish with a smile on my face. Hope that maybe this means something to everyone who is a part of it.

I started to feel some anxiety in the days leading up to the challenge. There wasn’t much more I could do to prepare physically, and I was as ready as I could be mentally, but two things were really holding me back. One was a nearly hobbling hamstring pain (that I attempted to downplay) that seemed to develop out of nowhere in the few days before, and the other was the idea that who was I to think I could do something like this? I’ve never even run a marathon before, and have only run 30kms once before! Was I wasting people’s time? Were they going to show up to support me, only to find that I bailed half way through?

I was a ball of nervous energy the day before, but thankfully the hamstring was dramatically improved by the morning of (thanks to lots of A-535!). I spent most of Monday shaking - a combination of perhaps too much coffee mixed with anxiety and a strong desire to just get this thing started. I started to relax when my first running friends arrived. Just knowing that they were with me was enough to calm me right down - two of the calmest guys I know! And what’s even better about these two is that they regularly told me, in the weeks leading up, and then during the challenge, that they really believed I could do this. I had my doubts, but for some reason they didn’t. And that was enough for me to start. And who wants to let their friends down, right?

How do I sum up the next 24 hours in a way that captures what this challenge became, without resorting to hyperbole? I’ll try.

It was one of the most powerful things I’ve ever been a part of. Instead of worrying over how many loops of my neighbourhood I still had left to run, I chose to look forward to seeing and welcoming each person who came to join me. Every single person came with their own positive energy and I happily absorbed as much of it as I could. I’d feel sad for a moment when someone said goodbye, but there was always someone else there to carry me, figuratively of course.

I used the breaks between runs to go in the house, stretch, change (so many outfit changes!), eat and drink. But I was always eager to get back outside to see who was there - I never got tired of that. The feeling of having friends show up at all hours of the day with a smile on their face, ready to run my pace around my neighbourhood to support my challenge, is something I’ll never forget. Whether you ran one or 20 loops, or somewhere in between, or just cheered me on from your driveway or mine, I’m so grateful.

As we posted hourly updates to the VR Pro Facebook group throughout the evening, into the night, and all the next day, so much support kept pouring in. People were running virtually wherever they were, they were staying up late to watch the video updates (including my friend’s 92 year old Aunt Shirley!), and they were sending so much encouragement and positivity that it took me most of the next day (once I’d stopped running) to read all the comments. I no longer felt that this was about me and my challenge, but it was ours together. It became something for our running community to be a part of, together. This was all we needed for those 24 hours. I ran for everyone who wanted to be a part of this, whether they were with me in person, or virtually. I ran to share as much of my own positive energy with the world as I could, and to inspire others to share their positive energy with the world. I ran because I could and that’s a damn gift. I am still, over a week later, deeply humbled by the love that was shown, and the excitement that people felt to be a part of something meaningful, especially during a time when we can’t really be together.

There was no way of knowing, before I ran, how the whole 24 hours would play out. There’s always the possibility of things falling apart physically or mentally, and it’s helpful to be prepared for unforeseen situations. But there was a magic sprinkled on those 24 hours that prevented me from even getting a blister! Definitely something to celebrate.

I’ve already forgotten most of the aches and pains that went along with the day (after all I did run 103 kms and my body was not totally impressed about it!). But I’m never going to forget the 24 hours of joy and celebration and ability that I experienced. It’s the kind of forgetting that makes a person want to do it all over again. Not right away, and maybe a little different, but rather than this being a one-and-done, it’s sparked new ideas and plans. I just don’t know exactly what they are yet! But I do know that I have a crew of crazy friends who are going to scheme and dream with me, and we’re going to do something together when we can.

One mantra that I’ve used to focus my mindset over the years during a race or other chosen physical challenge is this: I don’t HAVE to do this. I GET to do this. It’s a significant mental shift, and an incredibly powerful one. The struggle may be real (it most certainly was!) but I chose the struggle and I honour the struggle. I know this struggle will teach me something and I’m open to learning what that is. I may think I’m suffering at some point, but am I really suffering if I chose it?

I’m going into this next year with a mind that is open to inspiration when I least expect it (this challenge certainly was unexpected!). I have a new understanding of what both my body and mind are capable of, and how a community can rally together to support each other, even, or especially, during a pandemic.

A final thought. I added a fundraising element to this challenge and was thrilled to raise money and awareness for Dare To Be You Foundation (https://www.dtby.ca/donate-now), supporting young adults to find mental wellness, resilience and confidence. I know the value of movement to mental wellness and loved how this challenge connected so deeply with DTBY’s mission. I’m grateful to help support DTBY through this effort and with my time.

I’m forever grateful to every single person who supported this challenge, and created something special with me. The joy was because of community. What a way to finish off such a strange year for all of us, with a spirit of celebration and magic!

And in case you forget, I’ll say it a little louder: We don’t accomplish extraordinary things alone!

Mystic Messenger : Day 1 ~ V Walkthrough (FULL ANSWERS)

I worked all alone - I cheked each answers ~ Please be considerate.

Like, reblog, or do nothing, but please don’t copy/paste it and claim it as your own… I am on my own and spent a lot of time to do this.

If you are on phone, please setting the page to be seen in the computer version! On the phone, the answers are sometimes unaligned and it can confuse you...

In order to not bother and annoy my followers who don’t play this game by this looong post, I’ll put a seperate line. Click to see.

Before starting the guide, I have a few things to say about that day 1 !

Day 1 in AS is different than CS and DS :

In Casual and Deep Story, Day 1 was common, but in Another Story, it’s different ! So be careful !

Mobile version makes my walkthrough unclear/unaligned : here my post

We don’t get enough hearts :

There are a LOT OF ANSWERS who don’t give any hearts. Here is my theorie : to get a character’s route you have to collect their hearts. In Deep Story, collecting hearts will make a difference if you want to have Jumin or Seven. But in Another Story… There is only one route available! And V is rarely on ! If Cheritz would have followed the Casual/Deep story and give hearts at each ANSWERS for Zen/Yoosung/Jaehee/Jumin/Seven in the Another Story, we would all have the bad ending because of the lack of V’s hearts. That’s why a lot of answers give nothing, it avoids the mass of bad ending I think.

But careful, we can have answers that lead to the bad ending :

It’s not because the answers give no hearts that they have no meanings. It’s a bit obvious that more we will hint that RFA’s members are characters of a game and we don’t take things seriously more we will get close to the bad ending. You have two types of answers :

- “I will help as much as I can ! I’m so sorry I can’t tell you a lot… I hope we will be friends. Yes, I want to know more !…” : good end

- “Ehhh then it will be easy to raise my love meter with you ! Wut, me ? I live in your heart!… I thought it was a romantic game, not a detective game…” : bad end

00:00 : New face [Yoosung, Zen]

Yoosung, right? Nice to meet you^^ (nothing)

Hi, blonde Al! How are you? (nothing)

Nothing hehe. I meant that you’re cute! (nothing)

I know that u are Al lol (nothing...)

Yes (nothing)

Nothing really – but it looked like he cared for me. (nothing)

We talked about something fishy hehe (nothing)

I heard your omelet sucks (nothing)

He seems to be suspecting me somewhat… (nothing..)

No- (nothing)

Why are you so nice to me? (nothing)

I also wanna have fun with you on this app^^ (Yoosung)

She was beautiful, she was determined, she was so cool! (nothing)

About 300 years. (nothing)

For 205 days. (nothing)

I haven’t met her yet. (nothing)

I don’t have to meet her to know her^^ (nothing)

I think you’d know her better than I do… (nothing)

I know that she’s a good person. (nothing)

She’s a bad person! (nothing)

Because I was told to say that? (nothing)

It’s a secret- (nothing)

Let me skim through the game guidebook. (nothing)

Oh, nothing^^ (nothing)

I’m afraid I can’t say. I didn’t see what it was like myself… (nothing)

You must be frustrated, Yoosung… (Yoosung)

Is this a detective game? I thought it was romance. Guess I was tricked. (nothing)

Pleased to meet you^^ (nothing)

Thank you, my the-most-handsome-in the-world prince… (Zen)

Wow this game is really nifty lol (nothing)

I am a multitasker. Lol It’s my speciality, actually. (nothing)

This messenger is the game lol (nothing)

Tell me more about Rika and V- (nothing)

So both of you trust me right? This will be easy to raise the love meters^^ (nothing)

Yes, please tell me more.(nothing)

Can you just give me a summary? (nothing)

Don’t you think V is trying to cope with his emotions where you can’t see him? (V)

Isn’t V the head of this association ? So if he’s not active right now, doesn’t that mean parties aren’t held a lot? (Yoosung)

So are you saying he faked her death? I think you’ve seen too many movies, Yoosung. Or dramas. (nothing)

I wouldn’t trust V. (Yoosung)

I would trust V. (V and Zen)

That’d be 5 million won per answer. (nothing)

Sure, I’ll tell you everything ^^ (nothing)

But it’s getting late. Why not take your time? (nothing)

I’m sure there was something bad… That others weren’t aware of. (nothing)

I’m not sure either. (nothing)

I think the act if questioning isn’t so bad^^ (Yoosung)

Yoosung, calm down and take a break- (nothing)

When do I get into the romance part in this game? (nothing)

That doesn’t sound scientifically convincing. (Yoosung)

I’m in a princess’s room, and my bias installed this app for me^^ (nothing...)

Sorry, I can’t tell you more… It’s a secret… (nothing)

I wish I could tell you, but I can’t. It’s a rule… (nothing)

I understand. But this is my first day, so can you be a bit gentle? Hehe (Jumin)

Please… interrogate me, Jumin. (nothing)

Don’t be scared of me and love me ! (Zen)

I don’t believe in instinct lol (nothing)

I’ll trust your instinct, Zen^^ (nothing)

Let me gather my ki for some. Hiyaaa! (nothing)

It must be because of difference in your personalities. Let’s just put it that way- (Jumin)

I want to be friends with everyone… (nothing)

I wish to keep my secrets…. Please understand. (nothing)

Isn’t it illegal to check my background without my consent? (nothing)

I think you’ll be able to trust me after some time… And once you trust me, you’ll start dating me! (nothing)

I understand. Nobody would leave suspicion out in this situation. I’m also frustrated that I can’t tell you a lot. (nothing but good answer)

Do you know the definition of the word modesty ? (nothing)

Jumin, you rock! (Jumin)

But you should think about the welfare of your co-worker. (nothing)

Is it because I joined? (nothing)

You must be feeling really complicated. (nothing)

That sounds like a waste of your tuition. (nothing)

Don’t you think he did love her? He’s continuing the charity association founded by his lover… (nothing)

Their relationship is their issue. Don’t you think a third-party’s evaluation is really meaningless? (Jaehee)

What about Rika? Do you think she truly loved V? (nothing)

V has also lost his precious lover. He’ll be going through a hard time as well. You shouldn’t be so harsh on him. (V)

Perhaps V ans Rika weren’t that close. (nothing)

Evne if there really is a secret, he wouldn’t do anything that can harm the RFA, would he? (V and Jumin)

What secrets? (nothing)

I don’t know about Rika and V’s relationship… but you should first calm down. (nothing)

It feels unnatural that they didn’t share everything with each other. They’re lovers, you know? (Yoosung)

I think you should first calm down. (nothing)

Want me to feed you myself? (nothing)

That was the RFA chatroom, the den of a flourish of suspicions and conspiracy! (Yoosung)

Whatever it is you have to do, you should eat first- (Jaehee)

You should get something, Yoosung. How about a cup or tea? (nothing)

Your selfie storage! (Zen)

It’s an ocean of mysteries and conspiracy! (nothing)

The most important cities of the entire world will be struck by a plague of zombies infected by your beauty… (Zen)

You’ll mark yourself in everyone’s lips in a mere day. (nothing)

Hehehehehe (nothing)

Don’t go, o lord of a shameless beauty… (Zen)

Uh…ok…now I gotta go. (nothing)

16:33 : Dear Party Coordinator [Yoosung]

Are you pondering on the purpose of life or something? (nothing)

The weather is so nice today. (nothing)

Really? Right now I’m seeing a cloudy sky. (nothing)

Aren’t you staring at your phone right now to chat? (nothing)

Do your eyes really get better if you look up at the sky? (nothing)

I already heard enough. (nothing)

Yes, please. I think that’d be a great help. (Yoosung)

I’m interested in the networking part! (nothing)

Are V’s work famous? (V)

Is that part of my task too? (nothing)

Where are those letters now? (nothing)

Will I do a good job for her role? (nothing)

I’d love to meet her myself… It’s so sad that she’s no longer there. (nothing)

Are you sure that was a good kind of charisma? (nothing)

Are you mistaking me and chatting with me for someone else? (nothing)

Did your friend text you? (nothing)

Zombies (nothing)

Hackers (nothing but it’s the good answer)

My one and only love? (nothing)

It’s not929764. (nothing)

Do I have to press all of those numbers? (nothing)

Lucky 7% (707)

You must have tons of work T-T (707)

Nope. None of my business. (nothing)

Meow (707)

Hehe… (nothing)

Pssssh…. (sound effect) (707)

I’d love to see your cat! (nothing)

Why not summon me instead of Elly? (707)

I think it wouldn’t be good to the cat if her environment changes. (Jumin)

That can’t be true! He’s so nice and persistent! (707)

You shouldn’t torment animals! (nothing)

Lolololololol (nothing)

I’ll be your laser beam playmate. (707)

No wonder the cat hated it so much- (Jumin)

You’re gonna shut out your own member…? That’s sad. (nothing)

What about Zen? (nothing)

You’re really obsessive about Elizabeth the 3rd (nothing)

Sounds like a fair deal. (nothing)

I think he wants to play Yes or No. (nothing)

It’s an emoji that shows that your lips are zip locked (nothing)

That’s a bunny emoji (nothing)

Mmmppffff (nothing)

I don’t think he’s going to tell you. (nothing)

You seem to trust V a lot…. (Jumin)

If both of you trust V, you can just accept me for who I am, just like how V decided. (nothing)

Can I unzip them? (707)

I’m not sure either why V was accepted me so easily. (nothing)

That’s a great idea! (nothing)

Come on, there’s no way Jumin’s interested in cosplaying… (nothing)

But I think V would be embarrassed. (V)

I’d love to see it lol (nothing)

You must really love cats! (707)

You’re persistent… (Jumin)

Send my regards to Elizabeth the 3rd – (nothing)

Good-bye, Jumin! (nothing)

Looks like Jumin doesn’t hate V very much. (Jumin)

But why would you have a mint-haired wig, Seven? (nothing)

It’d be a phenomenon if he really does! Don’t you agree? (nothing)

Make sure you give me a copy of the pic if you take one! (nothing)

So shall we get on with it? Lol (707)

Good luck 707! The defender of peace! (707)

ZEN!! (Zen)

Seven (Seven)

Jumin! (Jumin)

I’ll cosplay the members of the RFA. (nothing)

Welcome Jaehee ! (nothing)

Zen is my bae too ! I think I’ve found a buddy. (Jaehee)

Jaehee, are you in charge of the papers related to RFA as well ? (nothing)

Are you organizing what you found about me ever since I joined the RFA ? (nothing)

Cruel is the reality… But if you do your best, I’m sure you’ll find happiness someday! (Jaehee)

I believe such aspects should gradually improve… (nothing)

I’m sure there’s a reason to everything and everyone. It’s kind of tricky to perfectly tell apart different tasks and occupations, you know? (nothing)

So all I have to do is to invite as many people to the party and raise the scores for my meter, right? Lol (nothing...)

Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to help! (nothing)

I understand that you can’t trust me yet. Let’s be friends nice and slow ^^ (Jaehee)

Your psychological settings are so complicated. Must’ve been shaped with extra great care. (Unknown)

But that’s the only thin I was told about too… I’m not sure what more I should tell you. (nothing)

But why is this place off-limits to outsiders ? Seems like an ordinary chat room to me lol (nothing)

I understand you, Jaehee... (Jaehee)

I’m not a bad person ! It’s just that I have a whole lot to learn! (nothing)

I’m sorry. I have a good reason, but I can’t tell you what it is. (nothing)

My game might be over if I tell you. It’s a secret! (nothing)

I’m a bad person. (nothing)

I’m being exploited…? (nothing)

How come? (nothing)

Oh, save me, my prince! I’ll be waiting ! (nothing)

No one’s exploiting me. I’m just here to have fun with you all! (nothing)

This initial setting is a bit tricky. But that’ll make the progress of the relationship more rewarding… (nothing)

I hope you’d start to trust me more ! (nothing)

Your looks are already more than enough help to the entire world. Lol (Zen)

Jaehee, I believe we’ll be able to trust each other soon. Good luck wrapping up your work! (Jaehee)

Time for your preening, Zen! You gotta make yourself an international treasure! (Zen)

…. (nothing)

You do make sure your facial porse are open before you move on to the cleansing part, right? (nothing)

I use soaps… (nothing)

Why? (nothing)

Bye, sexy. (Zen)

Byebye (nothing)

(Jaehee calls)

21:34 Richness in Wine [Jumin]

Good night. The stars are beautiful. (Jumin)

Welcome, Jumin. (nothing)

Good day? How come? (nothing)

Do you like wines ? (nothing)

You do a lot of business ! (nothing)

You got you deal ! Congrats! (nothing)

Maybe they want to have you as their model. (nothing)

Maybe it’s a paparazzi! You should call the police! (nothing)

It’s not a scandalous photo, is it? (nothing)

Congrats! Are you going to say yes? (nothing)

I thought they would offer something like this to Zen – (Zen)

Jumin, you’ve already got talents! Now you’re telling me you’ve gots looks as well? T_T (Jumin)

But aren’t you delighted ? (nothing)

Tell me about it. Did you tell them where you live? (nothing)

I think the question is not whether you’d be a fine model, but what would be the efficiency in relation to the budget. (Jumin)

Yes, absolutely ! You have this luxurious atmosphere. (Jumin)

I’m curious, too. Could you let me know the results once they come out? (nothing)

Looks vs business talent…? Whichever wins, I think it will return as a compliment for you. (Jumin)

I think the model doesn’t matter when it comes to the success of your company’s investment. I think the key is whether the wine itself tastes fine. (nothing)

A gift isn’t bad, but I think what V needs right now is a friend, not a wine. (V)

I see that V likes wine too. (nothing)

What were you two like in the past? (nothing)

What if both of you model…?! (nothing)

I’m sure those days will come again. (nothing)

Did Rika also like wine ? (nothing)

Jumin… (nothing)

Don’t worry. I’ll make sure to finish this as a happy ending. (nothing)

You two are such a good friends! (Jumin and V)

I’ll help too. (nothing)

Do you have an automatic timer installed in your head by any chance? (nothing)

Maybe something’s happened to her ! You should hurry up and go! (nothing)

Personal note : If you want to call Unknown after that chat, do it ! He will answer 😉

23:25 : Intriguing Person [V]

Oh here comes the final boss (Unknown)

Wow! It’s V…! I’m so thrilled to see you! (V)

You two make a lovely couple. (nothing)

Is that you and Rika…? (nothing)

I’m not sure, either. I was simply told to host parties. (nothing)

It’s all a secret. Shh! (nothing...)

I’m just an ordinary person. (nothing)

You must be curious about my world. (V)

Can you see anything different through your finder? (V)

I’ll call the police if you violate my portrait rights. (nothing)

They were so wary of me. (nothing)

They all looked so nice. (V)

Is Rika that someone for you, V? (V)

The purpose of my life… is my bias… (nothing...)

Are you warning me right now? (nothing)

This advice sounds like the result of your own experience. (nothing)

What? Is this a bug?! (nothing)

V? (nothing)

Goodbye. (nothing)

Let’s talk again, V. (nothing)

Visual Novel [Ray]

Come in. (nothing)

I was about to get to bed. (nothing)

I was playing the game. (nothing)

I’ve been waiting for you, Ray. (nothing)

The Als kept suspecting me, so it wasn’t fun. (nothing)

It was fun! It felt like talking to actual people instead of Als. (nothing)

Don’t you have a cheat for this? (nothing)

The white hair, red eyes… I think the musical actor is the best-looking. (nothing)

My favorite is that meticulous-looking secretary with glasses. (nothing)

I like that red-haired guy with glasses. (nothing)

I think the cute blonde boy is my type. (nothing)

The black-haired man in a suit with a temper. (nothing)

Looks like you don’t like them, Ray, though you made these Al characters. (nothing)

Now that we talked about games, I want to talk about you, Ray. (nothing)

(V calls)

Perhaps V and Rika weren’t that close. (Nothing)

You shouldn’t torment animals! (Nothing)

Selection 10

Jaehee, are you in charge of the papers related to RFA as well? (Nothing)

Are you organizing what you found about me ever since I joined the RFA? (Nothing)

Selection 4

I’m sure there’s a reason to everything and everyone. It’s kind of tricky to perfectly tell apart different task and occupations, you know? (Nothing)

I believe such aspects should gradually improve… (Nothing)

Cruel is the reality…but if you do your best, I’m sure you’ll find happiness someday! (Jaehee)

Selection 5

So all I have to do is to invite as many people to the party and raise the scores for my meter, right? Lol (Nothing)

Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to help! (Nothing)

Selection 6

But that’s the only thing I was told about too… I’m not sure what more I should tell you (Nothing)

I understand that you can’t trust me yet. Let’s be friends nice and slow ^^ (Jaehee)

You psychological settings are so complicated. Must’ve been shaped with extra great care. (Ray)

Selection 7

But why is this place off-limits to outsiders? Seems like an ordinary chat room to me lol (Nothing)

I understand you, Jaehee… (Jaehee)

Selection 8

I’m a bad person. (Nothing)

I’m not a bad person! It’s just that I have a whole lot to learn! (Nothing)

Selection 10

No one’s exploiting me. I’m just here to have fun with you all! (Nothing)

Oh, save me, My prince! I’ll be waiting! (Nothing)

Selection 11

This initial setting is a bit tricky. But that’ll make the progress of the relationship more rewarding…

I hope you’d start to trust me more! (Nothing)

Selection 12

Your looks are already more that enough help to the entire world. Lol (Zen)

Jaehee, I believe we’ll be able to trust each other soon. Good luck wrapping up your work! (Jaehee)

Selection 13

Time for your preening, Zen! You gotta make yourself an international treasure! (Zen)

Selection 2

You do a lot of business!

You got your deal! Congrats! (Nothing)

Do you like wines? (Nothing)

Selection 3

Maybe they want to have you as their model. (Nothing)

It’s not a scandalous photo, is it? (Nothing)

Maybe it’s a paparazzi! You should call the police!

Selection 4

Jumin, you’ve already got talents! Now you’re telling me you’ve lots looks as well! T-T (Jumin)

I thought they would offer something like this to Zen -

Congrats! Are you going to say yes? (Nothing)

Selection 5

Tell me about it. Did you tell them where you live? (Nothing)

But aren’t you delighted? (Nothing)

Selection 6

I think the question is not whether you’d be a fine model, but what would be the efficiency in relation to the budget. (Jumin)

Yes, absolutely! You have this luxurious atmosphere. (Jumin)

Selection 7

I think the model doesn’t matter when it comes to the success of your company’s investment. I think the key is whether the wine itself tastes fine. (Nothing)

I’m curious, too. Could you let me know the results once they come out? (Nothing)

Looks vs business talent…? Whichever wins, I think it will return as a compliment for you. (Jumin)

Selection 8

I see that V likes wine too. (Nothing)

A gift isn’t bad, but I think what needs right now is a friend, not a wine. (V)

Selection 9

What if both of you model…?! (Nothing)

What were you two like in the past? (Nothing)

Selection 10

Did Rika also like wine? (Nothing)

I’m sure those days will come again. (Nothing)

Selection 11

Don’t worry. I’ll make sure to finish this as a happy ending. (Nothing)

Jumin… (Nothing)

Selection 12

I’ll help too. (Nothing)

You two are such a good friends! (Jumin)

Selection 13

Oh here comes the final boss. (Ray)

Selection 2

You two make a lovely couple (Nothing)

Is that you and Rika…? (Nothing)

Selection 3

It’s all a secret. Shh! (Nothing)

I’m not sure, either. I was simply told to host parties. (Nothing)

Selection 4

I’m just an ordinary person. (Nothing)

You must be curious about my world. (V)

Selection 5

Can you see anything different through your finder? (V)

I’ll call the police if you violate my portrait rights. (Nothing)

Selection 6

They all looked so nice. (V)

They were so ware of me (Nothing)

Selection 7

Is Rika that someone for you, V? (V)

The purpose of my life…is my bias… (Nothing)

Selection 8

Are you warning me right now? (Nothing)

This advice sounds like the result of your own experience (Nothing)

Selection 9

V? (Nothing)

What? Is this a bug? (Nothing)

Don’t you have a cheat for this?

It was fun! It felt like talking to actual people instead of AIs. (Nothing)

Selection 4

The black-haired man in a suit with a temper.

I think the cute blonde boy is my type.

The white hair, red eyes…I think the musical actor is the best-looking. (Nothing)

My favorite is that meticulous-looking secretary with glasses

I like that red-haired guy with glasses. (Nothing)

Selection 5

Looks like you don’t like them, Ray, thought you made these Al characters. (Nothing)

Now that we talked about gamers, I want to talk about you, Ray. (Nothing)
