Today I'm Gonna Play: Love and Deepspace

I came across this video a couple months ago of a really high poly guy and thought it was CGI made by someone talented. Turns out it was an upcoming otome game for mobile?! I replaced my phone recently so this was a good time to look forward to trying something with high-end graphics for this platform.

My experience with Otome games isn't much. I've played those dating sims that a few friends were very into back in school on DeviantArt, notably by Zeiva and Pacthesis. This was my entry to the Visual Novel (VN) genre, but I didn't understand the appeal of of liking 2D guys. Fast forward and I've also played a couple otome VNs on mobile and dabbled slightly on PC and even though I find a few interesting love interests based on appearance and personality, I STILL didn't get the appeal, until I finally played Mystic Messenger two years ago and got my heart shattered and was rejected by my love interest lol. This idea of having a social messaging format with calls for a mobile game is one of the most creative things I've seen for both the VN genre as a whole as well as the mobile platform. I don't know if any other VNs have done something like this before.

What Love and Deepspace does, is basically take that same format and iterate upon it with its worldbuilding. But it doesn't stop there. The real selling points of this game is that it uses very high quality 3D models akin to Final Fantasy CGs and also have real-time action combat. This seemed like a combo I never thought would exist, but I'm sure as hell glad to see it. Apart from chatting and calls using your own created avatar, it includes other features such as micro blogs which are Twitter-esque, so you can like and comment on the other characters' posts, and sometimes make your own. There are interaction features with the love interest, by being able to touch him, ask him things, and even things like listening to heartbeats or blowing on him using your mic?? It's another level of immersiveness! Minigames also exist which add to the story, such as claw machines (which are actually not to rigged compared to real life), playing cards, taking photos, and mini stories or audio that you can obtain from gacha.

The gacha aspect is not related to obtaining your love interest like in other gachas, but rather it's unlocking additional content about them, such as the mini stories. These stories tend to look like casual hangouts or even romantic dates. I'm not sure if there are any intimate scenes or not so far.

The story is not bad, I'm intruiged by the lore and the overall world as I like futuristic settings. There's a lot of info dump in documents and such that you typically see in gachas or RPGs, but this is one of the few times where I actually read through them. And surprisingly, the protagonist (you) is actually a lot more competent than expected!

The only issue I have is that the way the story is presented makes the characters look like they don't know each other yet and are distant, which is fine. But the romance parts you unlock through gacha or other features of the game seem more affectionate so it feels quite disjointed. It makes me feel confused on how I can piece these moments together.

Another nitpick although minor is that the daily stamina that you can obtain through login times don't seem to sync up in local time, so I'm assuming it's based on China's time zone instead. I've mostly been on this game during the evenings which make me miss both of them. It's a bit of a weird decision for international players.

I've also seen comments online about the lack of a male character or other gender options. I also agree that this would be nice to have. But I also acknowledge that this game is primarily aimed towards women (therefore an otome game), and since it's a Chinese game, I'm not sure if they would allow any type of BL in it. This could cause a bit of disinterest for international players. The only option I can see is to provide a larger variety of options for the current female avatar (which is also a complaint even amongst women playing the game), which could also have the avatar look a little more masculine presenting, etc. This could be a slight workaround towards any censorship laws while also allowing for more diversity. Plus technically speaking, the advantage of shorter hair or buzz cuts etc. would also mean less complex hair rigging (like with long hair) so it may be easier to animate and handle.

Overall, this game has huge potential that could transform romance/otome games for mobile like Mystic Messenger if all goes well. This will be another mobile game I'll keep playing!

So today I came across people talking about the new Harry Potter game "Hogwarts Legacy" here on Tumblr. I was curious, so I watched a trailer on YouTube. And I have to say, wow, this is really beautiful, it is so incredibly well done! I was really impressed by the graphics and the storytelling, the decision for the time that it was set in and the whole magical world that they've created, that is so talented and amazing! My teenage self would've lost her mind about it in disbelief over what is now possible in computer- and video-games! When I remember the Harry Potter computer game that I played when I was about 13! I really love that old game though, I believe it was the game for the "Chamber of Secrets". :)

Anyways, I won't completely rule out that I'll try playing it once but I'm pretty sure that a lot of dark stuff has found it's way in there too, especially seeing that it was created in our current time of so many levels of insanity. I definitely didn't like the part where a large part of this game apparently is that you have to constantly find out how to battle people and whatnot and set them on fire in mid air and sh** like this. It's just not 2002 anymore and we have to keep that in mind.

But mainly I just know that I left the mainstream Harry Potter train long ago because the commercialization got way too crazy and out of hand. I actually turned away from it when they said they were going to build a theme park. Back in our days the mere thought of it would've been outrageous. J.K. Rowling restricted so much what could and could not be done with the books and the characters, it was common sense that it wouldn't be made a hollow commercial spectacle. And I respected that and most people did. Well, things just moved in that direction and I just didn't interact with this stuff much. After all, the theme park is basically a theme park of the movies, not the magical world of the books. I'm sure that it is beautifully done though.

So concerning this new game, I think it's absolutely impressive and it has a lot of appealing aspects. After I had watched the trailer though, I thought how glad I am that I was able to experience the Harry Potter stories from back when there were only just books being published for the first time. And people went crazy to go read them right in the book shops in the night they were published. And they would dress up and have genuine, light-hearted fun with nothing on their hands but the magical things they talked about and read about. I don't want to see and experience Hogwarts through this game, as beautiful as it might have been made. I saw Hogwarts for the first time through the pages of a book that smelled a certain way and I saw it with my own 12-year-old eyes. There is nothing that will ever come close to this and there is no game, no movie, no theme park, no nothing that I would ever want to exchange for that. Ever. That is not even a possible comparison, these things are not the same.

So while I'm amazed at how this game has been made, I want my own world. I have noticed how all the cool products that we can buy nowadays are really amazing but it doesn't come close to the first time reading the books alone in my room for days without barely eating and going outside at all. And it doesn't even touch the feet of me wearing a big kerchief over my back as a cloak and wandering through the garden with the stick in my hand that was my magical wand. If I really want to feel more in the magical world that I knew, I don't have to get closer to the graphics of a computer game, I have to get closer to who I was when I was 12 years old. And create it myself.

I fell apart again today. I better feel better tomorrow because this sucked so much.

Last night I was shivering so bad and I was so upset and so uncomfortable. Very unsure if I actually had a fever but man I uncomfortable.

I don't remember falling asleep. I don't even remember James turning the lights off. I kind of remember them leaving for work but not really.

I got up around 9 and Jess texted me to see if I was alive. Barely. I had woken up at 3 am because my nose was just scabs and I couldn't breath. I blew my nose and put on a breathright strip. It helped but I was still woozy from lack of oxygen when I got up.

I stopped the bed and would get washed and dressed I love this dress. It's like the perfect day off house dress. No fuss at all. But as soon as I left my room it was hell. The apartment was so humid it was like standing in oatmeal. But not in a nice way!!! It was horrible.

So I would make a pocket. I closed the windows in my studio and James's room. I closed the curtains in the doorway (since we have no door there), and put a fan towards that curtain. Then I put the air on. And it took a little while to work but when I went into the living room and back it was very noticeable how much cooler it was. And it would get more comfortable as the afternoon went on. Worked really well.

I would vacuum. And go through the stuff that Julie had dropped of for me last week. Some neat stuff in there!! A lot of it will go to camp and I'm really glad it can be used!

I would spend an hour or so cutting fabric for bears. I felt pretty weak but sitting on the floor where it was cool made the work a lot easier. I used the end of a few pieces of fabric. The blue and green specifically. I also had to make a lot of bears that's legs will have to be attached separately. Which is fine. But I am going to mix some colors for the first time because I think it'll be fun. I hope to get a lot of them sewn this week. I also want to have 100 squares done. I'll have to count and see how many I have tomorrow.

I had only had a bit of seaweed salad so far today. The idea of eating most of the stuff in the fridge made me gag. I felt really weak but all of the food made me feel ill.

I would eventually figure out something. We had one egg left and I got an avocado yesterday. So with those and some toast I was good. But I was also crying. I started feeling very very bad. And uncomfortable and just so upset. I was upset with James. And with the world. And with myself. I was hurting and texting James being so upset. I texted Jess too. And they both validated me but I still felt stupid for being as upset as I was.

After I ate I cried and fell asleep.

Which didn't exactly make me feel better but at least James was home when I woke up.

I felt really unwell still though. James had gone and gotten some groceries and some snacks would help. But it took me a few hours to stop feeling like I was going to fall apart.

We would sit in the dungeon and play the rest of our unpacking video game. I had lemon water which made me feel more hydrated.

Eventually we would share Mac and cheese. And I would go take a shower. I washed my hair and now I am waiting for James to finish their own shower to go and dry my hair.

I am worried about camp this week. Nervous. We are doing weaving and it's either going to be so fun or a disaster. It can go exactly no other ways.

So wish me luck. I love you all. Goodnight my friends

✧✧✧On this day Kirsis was born✧✧✧

Lol this is just my fancy way of saying that it's my birthday today. Yup, January 1st is THE day for me. Not even talking in RP, I the owner of this blog was born on this day.

Lol time for me to write like bullet points on a TWST au for Kirsis, the OC I use sometimes as my sona for this account.

Twisted Wonderland headcannon for Kirsis

Kirsis would technically be based off Oswald the Lucky Rabbit

I'm going the Epic Mickey route where people forgot about Oswald. So in TWST, Kirsis has a curse on him that makes people forget about him.

It gets kinda frustrating sometimes because Kirsis gets mistaken for either a visitor at Night Raven College or some students think he is looking for someone at the college

He sits at the back of classes so he doesn't get the repetitive questioning from teachers

Yes he still does his assignments, by name he is in the school system, people just forget he is there. So he still gets graded on things.

He would be assigned to the Ignihyde dorm since he indulges in tech stuff such as PC building, playing video games, doing art, and sometimes dabbles in learning how to engineer

Because of his curse, people don't remember who occupies the room that he is in, but they know that someone definitely lives there.

Once MC shows up at Night Raven, things change a little since the curse didn't seem to affect MC's memories of Kirsis

Kirsis would develop some attachment to MC since they really were the only one who they could really have a full conversation with and have it not be forgotten the next day

Kirsis would hang around the Ramshackle door sometimes when he wasn't working on school work or just keeping to himself

He'd be an honorary Ramshackle member at least in MC's eyes

Grim does forget about Kirsis and at this point MC and Kirsis just have a scripted dialogue on how to introduce Kirsis to him whenever Grim was around

Kirsis birthday event scenario

Kirsis never really celebrated his birthday after he was cursed since there wasn't a point to if he couldn't really celebrate it with others

Things changed when MC was around

Though MC would arrange for a small surprise party for their friend

MC was setting up the party which lead to a misconception with Ace thinking that MC was planning a birthday party for themselves

So Ace attempted to tell others about it to make surprise visits to the small party and it caused more people to spread it around

Word got to the Diasomnia dorm, which derailed the message into people such as Silver and Sebek thinking that MC was making a surprise birthday party for Lilia since Lilia actually shares the same birthday as Kirsis

Poor MC and Grim

What was once a small party of 3 turned out to be a party of around 25

MC and Grim definitely had to scatter around to accommodate last minute for more people showing up

Things got messy when Lilia showed up (with Silver and Sebek dragging him to the dorm) at the same time Kirsis did

MC had to clear it up to people that the party was intended for Kirsis

Which everyone was confused who that was, and Kirsis felt a bit embarrassed and ashamed

Though before things would escalate, Lilia, while not remembering who Kirsis was, would calm things down by saying that while everyone thought they were here for just him, they should also be welcoming to Kirsis also especially since the party was made for him anyways

Lilia would basically reassure Kirsis that he's sharing the spotlight too

And they both stuck together during the whole party with MC also jumping in to talk to the two

Kirsis knows that everyone but MC will forget about him, but he'll cherish the day for what it was

Especially since his friend MC went out of their way to make this surprise birthday party a reality

And for that, they truly felt glad to celebrate their birthday with people after a long while of not doing so

4/27/24

10:59 p.m Edited/Added to

So I had heart palpitations when I closed my eyes again last night... luckily they passed and fell asleep on just the half MG of xanax. I didn't need any other drugs, thankfully.

I woke up around 12, that's the longest I've slept straight through the night since psychosis minus after microsleep, while I was smoking weed. The nights I didn't microsleep during October I could sleep through like 7-10 hours. That was only like 4 or 5 nights between October 10th and November 3rd... and then when I started sleeping regularly again I was able to sleep like 6-10 hours straight when I was smoking pot. Then I quit pot and insomnia got terrible...

And before Xanax when I finally fell asleep after, "black heading," for hours I could stay asleep longer like 6-10 hours but it took so long just to fall asleep and some nights I never did...

Then I started Xanax and I've been able to fall asleep but usually i wake up ever 2-3 hours...

Anyways I took benadryl at 12 and then passed back out. Woke up at 2 p.m and then fell back to sleep without benadryl and slept until about 3:30 or 4 p.m idk bc microsleep fucked with my ability to know if I slept or not... all I know is that's why I keep a sleep tracker...

I decided not to do my laundry... I need to do my bedding and I've been putting it off bc my hoodies pile up so fast from Contamination.. and I need to have them to use the sleeves to grab stuff, so i have to plan to do my bedding the day after I do my clothing and towels bc otherwise I have a huge pile and can't do it all in one day.

However I needed a day with limited to no bathroom time. My laundry machine is in the bathroom, and even if it wasn't, doing laundry triggers major OCD. So I just decided to have a red bull day aka two 12oz red Bulls in a day and play video games.

I'm glad I made that decision. I'm playing bully and working on chapter 5. I am cooking dinner and taking a break. I should have that finished and uploaded prob around 3 or 4 a.m depending on how slow my MacBook is bc I've had to piece together the video bc of breaks... I'm taking pictures so I can submit them to apple so I can get my computer looked at and have a case at the apple store but I have to do it over the phone first and submit pictures. To combine a 1 hour video I have to wait 20 minutes it's ridiculous.

Anyways, I got my sneakers, I love them but the right shoe squeezes my baby toe strangely I've been fucking with the laces but I can't seem to get it right. Idk if this is one of those beauty is pain things or what but I might return them bc it's uncomfortable and if I get lines in them, they won't take them back but we see. It's actually both toes when I walk... I might do a return.

I'm hoping I can get some good gameplay today. Unfortunately I'm stuck on my old Xbox one s bc my stupid cloud saves won't transfer over to my series x which is fucking obnoxious...

Idc about most of my saves but I care about some-

1) Silent Hill 2 bc of my 10 star thank God that transferred over.

2) far cry 2 bc I have a over 20 hour save file and I'm half way through the game but it won't transfer to my new system......

3) Bully bc I have almost a 100% completion save file and one achievement left for 100% but it won't transfer.....

4) Minecraft bc of my castle which I've invested over 36 days working on thankfully that transferred over.

5) Silent Hill Homecoming bc I unlocked all the endings but whatever I can live without it even though it's obnoxious.... it won't transfer..

Anyways I won't play fc2 on my old system bc I'll easily play over 20 hours on the second half so I have to troubleshoot it..... I already tried for hours last night.

I'm sucking up bully for now to finish my playlist and I may accept losing the 100% completion save file which is fucked.

It's nice trying to relax but technology is a bitch and yea... I only picked Bully bc it doesn't trigger my OCD.

Also I've noticed at least in one way my hallucination has improved. When I played bully months ago the entire experience was intruded upon by the hallucination... however I think the last time I played it was like November when it was much worse.

There is a lot of dialogue so it helps drown it out. I've noticed with games with dialogue I can enjoy them mostly.

Hey Jay 😊👋

It's totally okay really 😌

I'm glad to hear that your day has been good and that you've finished your script 👍☺️🫂❤️

Having a week off sounds so good, omg. Did you do something special? 😊

Wait so you only had to give them one script? Yeah teachers/lecturers wording assessments stupidly 🤦‍♀️

But it was good for you 😅👍

Well, this week has been hell for me, being ill for over a month and got a fever last friday evening 🤯. Monday has been the worst because I had no sleep and just cried and the rest of the week was just feeling like shit and trying to get the fever down.

But thank god, the fever is gone since yesterday, so I'm in a good mood, I'm feeling a lot better now (I only have to cough but over all I'm fine 😌)

And yesterday I got a new hair cut. Actually I have had long curly hair for a long time and now it's shoulder length and I feel like a new person 🙈😅

How are you doing? And how was your day?

Didn't really do much over the week, I was in a friend's short film for a outside of uni project which was fun. But other than that just been playing video games all week.

Yeah, thankfully only had to give them one script.

I'm sorry you're weeks been so bad for you, honey. It sucks when you get sick like that. I'm glad you're feeling a bit better now though.

I bet the new haircut looks amazing on you!

My days been good today, how was yours?

November 2, 2023

Mmmm in the mood for some of those shortbread cookies I used to bake all the time in college. Maybe with some strawberry or blackcurrant jam. More economical (and probably healthier) than buying lofthouse cookies or oreos biweekly lol.

Bernadette Banner released another sewing video and the cape is so lovely, as is the little bag collab she has. I'm slowly getting into purses and the price is definitely steep, but I could totally save for it over time (this strategy also ensures I'm actually interested in the item rather than reacting to an influencer (even though I probably could just buy it outright, the waiting period serves an important purpose)). The other purses at that shop are just darling too. Anyway she released the video and the bag was out of stock in less than a day lol.

The dynamic contrast of Kronos Revealed (M Giacchino) brings me to tears sometimes. And I know part of it has to do with instrumentation and maybe even mixing but it's just so masterful. The Incredibles soundtrack really is something beyond. The BTAS orchestration is so amazing and has a similar nostalgic quality to it that modern superhero movies just aren't hitting (not that they need to, as style trends change across all industries, plus the settings are quite different). Music can give content so much more than an emotional route for the viewer to follow. For me, music plays such a huge role in giving a movie/show/game/video a sense of setting. When created with intention and care, it can help turn the setting into a character beyond a sandbox for the actors, I think, for me.

Today I'm thankful that we're over halfway through the semester. And, in the effort to celebrate little wins, I'm also thankful that I'm slowly but surely learning this semester, specifically from regen. While I may not be as quick with my thoughts/critiques/questions as the undergrads in that class (and I've kind of just settled into that discomfort, though I probably should put in extra effort to reach their level, I'm just putting my energy elsewhere (I wonder how long I can keep saying that "I'm adjusting")), I am taking in the information about experimental techniques! One of the postdocs in the lab gave a presentation this week, and I was able to understand a lot more about the methodology than I would have at the beginning of the semester!!! Maybe I didn't get everything, but this is progress.

Also, some rapid-fire's: Thankful that my evodevo prof extended the take home exam time via email sent exactly a minute after I woke up this morning to write three essays (that I'd previously outlined) in four hours (and while it probably would've worked [edit: lol] (I timed my sleep so well) I'm glad I didn't have to put it to the test) because I most certainly had overbooked myself this week (okay maybe these aren't going to be as rapid fire as I'd thought). Thankful for free hot apple cider and an apple donut this morning at some random event in front of my department's building on the coldest morning of the semester so far (first time having an apple donut and it was so good those people may have a repeat customer)!!!! Thankful that I don't have to care about my grades as much these days because otherwise I'd probably be spiraling after today's regen exam/quiz thing haha. ha. [edit 2, the following tuesday: I did better than I did the first exam...? feeling like this class is kinda graded on "did you try?" vibes and I don't hate it but it is certainly odd (maybe I just can't accept that I understand more than I think I do and it's just a lot of imposter syndroming)] Thankful that the postdoc I've been working with/learning from this week is a lot more chill as a person than her demeanor when evaluating other people's work initially led me to believe. Thankful that the undergrads in the lab are really cool (they know so much more than me lol)!!! And lastly, thankful that I actually got a 95, not an 89, on my anatomy midterm (even though, of course, I don't care :P) [edit: must clarify that I did not submit for a regrade bc I actually don't care enough to make the effort for that, they just did a whole-class one].

66th & 67th touken radio sessions rough translation ~

A for Aramaki Yoshihiko, W for Wada Takuma. [ ] = my inputs, ( ) = the actors' inputs

66th Session~

A: I’ll be MC-ing alone today, so I’ll do my best! Well then, we’ve got a guest in the studio after a long time. Go ahead, make your entrance~.

W: Good evening, I’m Kasen Kanesada’s actor, Wada Takuma!

A: wow!!!! (starts clapping)

W: I finally made it!!!!!!!

A: Takuma-kun! You mean on this radio?

W: This is actually my first time being here. First off, I have to get something off my chest— (A: lol what is it, what is it?) You see, I heard about tkrb's radio program while I was doing another nippon radio program, and I thought it was suuuuper strange I hadn't been asked to appear on it yet! Someone from the nippon staff said 'touken ranbu has a radio program too, dont they' so i told them 'actually, i'm going to appear onstage this summer, as the main character’ ‘oh that’s great news!’ ‘but i haven't been asked to feature on a single radio session yet' 'ah!! thats terribly unfortunate, please excuse us!!!!' is what they said. And so after that i was immediately slotted for a future date.

A: www It's no good if you don't say what you want straightforwardly!

W: It really isnt! You have to say so clearly.

A: No but guests are always welcome on this program (W: right??). I even had to MC alone at times.

W: Right???? Like do they even know of my existence?! [lmfao rip takuma-kun] Even ume-chan joined in much earlier than I did (A: yeah as an MC) Didn’t that guy manifest after me!!!! [i.e. in tousute chronology]. Why’d he come before I did!! I’d have done the MC-ing anytime [he’s SO funnily offended and makki is laughing sm] I’ve always loved radio!!

A: Really?

W: I’ve always listened to the radio more than the TV at home. The fact that I hadn’t even once been called yet, isn’t it weird?!

A: ww I wonder what must’ve happened. Perhaps the timings didn’t line up or something.

W: mmmm But I Finally Came!

A: I heard from staff-san that the fans are pretty glad you came. You were a long-awaited guest.

W: Really? Thank you so much.

[They catch up over how they spent the past year apart from working; wadakuma took up practicing the guitar while makki was busy playing video games lol]

A: Alright so! Since we’ve invited wada-kun today, let’s talk a great deal about the new sute. Without spoilers, please tell us what kind of 'kahakugeki' you wished to see. To begin with, how did you feel when you heard ‘kiden ikusayu no adabana’ had been changed to ‘kaihen ikusayu no adabana no kioku’ ?

W: Simply put, since butai is something that is full of raw emotion, it can’t take place if there aren't any customers. The feeling of both physical and emotional distance was there, and since the closing of that gap is the #1 charm point of butai, I wondered how it would turn out. Right from the beginning, reciting the script in a reading-play [t/n: kahakugeki literally means a simple scripted play w/o music and minimal props etc] is the first step, right? I went over the script and prepared myself.

A: That's the image I got too! That you’d be reading from scripts.

W: Right? That didn’t end up being the case though, and I was so, so nervous.

A: You didn't have books, did you? [t/n: i think makki is referring to the script books that these plays usually have actors read from onstage.]

W: Nope (A: wow~). That's why, even though the title is 'kahakugeki', the performance isn't inferior in quality to the other tousutes. [insert talking about the regulations they had to follow for safely delivering the performances.]

A: Last time, ume-chan and I did a session and he said he and takuma-kun didn't didn't talk all that much during jiden's performance. How did this time's rehearsals go?

W: Ume-chan and I were asked about our relationship in an interview, and he said: 'me and wadakkuma-san haven’t really talked much’ (A: lol). Communication was at an all-time low.

A: That’s right, he’s terribly shy.

W: Yeah. He said, ‘It's like feeling you can't enter Starbucks because everyone's sparkling sooo much' (A: ww). But out of all the touken danshi in this play, me and ume-chan are the only ones [who have starred in tousute till now]. That's why I told him [his voice was so soft here, like talking to a child w], 'ume-chan, do your best, brighten up that attitude, it’ll be no good if you don’t become a character that can’t lead others.’

A: Did it happen then, in reality?

W: Yamanbagiri’s...Chougi’s [he always pauses to correct himself when he’s referring to either Yamanbagiri bc just ‘yamanbagiri’ isn’t enough lol] role is him being outspoken about the proper thing to do.

A: Ah that’s right.

W: So ume-chan had to strive to express it himself from yamanbagiri chougi’s own perspective. Like ‘I wonder if I was able to convey the character’s vibe?’

A: That’s so like him. Moving on, wasn’t this was your first time being the centre in tousute? I was really looking forward to it.

W: Well well well, it was difficult. (A: wdym?) I’ll instead ask you, what were your experiences being the centre in performances?

A: Hmmm, at the time I was able to take part in the production called ‘touken ranbu’, I had many concerns, and I’d ask about whatever I could. If there was something I struggled to understand, Suemitsu-san would explain it to me. That was the kind of approach I had.

W: You followed through, didn’t you?

A: But the first cast [of the first sute, kyoden moeyuru honnouji] was quite large too.

W: Well, this time you see, hiroki wasn’t there, neither was tamaki, nor someya, even makki wasn’t there, kento wasn’t there, no one was there!! [he listed mikazuki’s, kogarasumaru’s, and tsurumaru’s actors.]

A: www Were you a little lonely?

W: I was lonely! But, the touken danshi cast of this time was super hard-working. They went so hard at rehearsals…I was impressed.

A: What about suemitsu-san? With the new cast and all…

W: Suemitsu-san was as strict as ever (A: ah he was strict? Lol). Only, as there wasn’t much time because of the situation, everyone focused intensely both during the rehearsals and outside of rehearsals. Remembering lines, memorizing fighting choreography, positions. It was truly amazing.

A: Lots of fans have taken note of the first ever female cast member – Nanami Hiroki, who plays Hosokawa Gracia. How did that go?

W: Nanami-san…is immensely cool.

A: I once took a photo with her and thought to myself “eh? she’s cooler than a man!”

W: Take notes, all you touken danshi! Her charm and aura were remarkable and her presence was vast, like it was made to be followed. That was the way the first female role was introduced to everyone as well as to tousute.

A: I never imagined I’d see ume-chan involving himself with Nanami-san in any way. (W: *laughs really loudly*) Did they talk?

W: Well, he did take a photo with her when rehearsals wrapped up.

A: Oh really? ww You’ve grown, ume-chan (W: he has). On this radio too, when he was MC, he wondered ‘what should I talk about? I have no clue’.

W: He should’ve switched places with me!!!!!!!

A: www but precisely because he’s that way it makes for interesting sessions, right? Okay, so the last question I want to ask is: what is the mood of the Kasen Kanesada characteristic to takuma-kun in this work?

W: This, well, was a new perspective. Uptil now – how do I put it – he’d watch the others from afar, and stealthily give counsel to them. Such scenes were memorable, but this time since it’s all about Hosokawa Tadaoki and Gracia, and Kasen is at the very core. He loses sight of his surroundings, but the touken danshi around him ask him, “Kasen, are you alright?” It was so new.

A: It hasn’t happened before.

W: Never.

A: That kind of approach was all-encompassing, wasn’t it?

W: I used to think it was an advice-giving type of role, but it’s actually everyone else that’s lending a helping hand. There was a sense of immense encouragement from the others. I’m happy.

A: I really want to see it. I can totally imagine takuma-kun acting it out beautifully (W: thank you). I bet the fans can’t wait either. Well then, we’ve talked thoroughly about kahakugeki with takuma-kun! It’s time to end now~

W: That was way too fast.

A: You want delve even more into it don’t you?

W: For a looooooooooooong time to come! I wish the program’s timing was longer.

A: www unfortunately we can’t do that! There are more things to be said, but you’re the guest for the next week too, so takuma-kun will continue to deliver more info! [I wasn’t planning to translate this ending part but they were cute, so]

67th Session~

(Reading fan mail)

A: From kitsune-san, "On hearing Wada Takuma would be this time's guest, I rushed to send in a letter. [...] Among the new touken danshi in the performance, who made the most memorable impression on Wada-san?"

W: Apart from umetsu and I, the other touken danshi are making their first appearance. I mentioned it before too, but everyone was diligent and worked hard in the limited time we had. Amongst them though, Sano Mashiro, who plays Nikkari Aoe, was unexpectedly spirited. There are a lot of scenes where I have to make an entrance right? So I'd have to memorize which part of the stage to enter from, etc etc., and mashiro would be like, "takumama, over here!"

A: 'Takumama' ?? - wait hold on, what's a takumama w

W: I don't know lol! mashiro was like "is it okay if I call you takumama?" and I said (at a loss for words) "o-oh, sure!"

A: w Kato Sho has called you okaa-san too right?

W: I wonder if it's because I give out maternal vibes...

A: I think so...it might be because of your open-mindedness...

W: Is that it?

A: I think that must be it, among many other reasons.

W: I wonder. But the foremost reason must be that they're juniors and I'm their senior. mashiro said "come here, come here~" it's a little—for a young man to call over an adult over 30 it's—

A: wwww LOL

W: To tell an adult "come here~" its too comical of an image—!

A: It's cute! It's because he's close to you.

W: Well, that's how it is. In regards to kasen, nikkari aoe is a very calm, collected, and astute character. That's why in many scenes, when facing kasen, he uses cutting words. mashiro enacted those qualities very diligently, and for that, kasen feels extremely grateful. He’s a great guy.

[they talk a bit more about the other actors but I'm skipping it]

W: From kazuha-san, "I'm a newbie saniwa who got into tkrb by watching tousute's online broadcast five months ago, and I still haven't decided on a favourite sword. I thought the new performance would have a recitation-like feeling, but on hearing there would be sword-fighting scenes as well, I've been increasingly anticipating it. Wada-san, what troublesome sword fight-related things happened during practice?"

A: I see, I see...

W: This time, there weren't any actors taking up the role of the time retrograde army, but there was still the fact that fight scenes took place, and, how do I put it—

A: Like shadows?

W: Yeah. We'd have to be on our own and imagine the enemy being there and fight them onstage like that. I think makki would understand too—it's difficult to do. A swordfight with no opponent is difficult. That's why the challenge was to successfully make the audience feel like they could see the TRA. That was our challenge up to senshuuraku.

A: I think that the way each touken danshi wields their sword is different, like whether they use their scabbard in combat or not. Kasen strikes in a straight line with tremendous force right? (W: yep) It's very distinct, so I suppose that's why it's difficult to pull off when the opponents aren't there.

W: That's exactly it.

A: [I couldn't make out what he was saying at the beginning of this sentence rip] Still, I think in the situation of shadow-enemies, I don't know if it would be possible, but acting out movements like getting shoved, those would be hard.

W: Exactly! How do I put it, something like “oh, I've got to be careful here or it'll be bad,” “ah, I have to feel the enemy's presence here or else.”

A: Are there any difficulties in acting as Kasen?

W: I'd say the hakama, is something that gets in the way a lot. In tousute, there are a lot of stairs right? It really is a nuisance.

A: noooo lol. For the hakama team, stairs really are the enemy.

W: Hiroki-sensei said it too but particularly when ascending staircases, you have to be patient with your feet, and you end up getting dazed. It's hard, and you have to be careful. [t/n: I’ve also noticed, esp in hiden, wadakasen’s hakama getting in the way of him standing up, but he recovers gracefully ofc :)]

A: There are fight scenes that take place on staircases aren't there?

W: Ofc there are. This time around there are a few steps, but they aren't as tall. [...] What about Yamanbagiri Kunihiro's technicalities?

A: I have the cloak to be worried about. During the very first show, during kyoden's first performance, my cloak tangled itself up around my sword and it couldn't be helped. After enough moving around it'd happen a lot. Of course, I had to handle it throughout the shows. When I'd descend stairs it would flutter behind me. (W: that's relatable) Right? When I had the photoshoot for the visuals, I was asked "can you handle it if it trails behind your every movement?" I answered that I definitely could, regardless of how I moved.

W: waaaaah that's so cool. Are you listening, umetsu!? www

A: www but chougi's cloak is different.

W: During rehearsals, both kokindenjunotachi's cloak and sword were long, so suemitsu-san told him to reckon how wielding his sword would affect his costume's movement. On that note I thought how amazing makki was, to be able to handle it all. It's impressive.

A: But it doesn't go well all the time. Even while you're being careful, you feel like it'd be better if you were able to go fully out. [...] Alright I'll read this one. From mahiro-san, "[...] I have a question for Wada-san. On the most essential things in acting as kasen: are there any places where you overlap with and differ from kasen himself?"

W: Well, makki's been in many tousute performances so I think you'll get what I mean, but there are unique moments in which you establish a connection with a sword's growth.

A: *heavily breathes in* There are.

W: There are, aren't there? In hiden, for example, near the end, yamanbagiri kunihiro is terribly conflicted. In such a situation, there's a moment when the sword's feelings pile up and overlap with your own. This is the fourth time I'm taking part in tousute but the first where I've received the role of main character. Currently, where I am being counted on, in comparison to the past where I had simply followed; somehow, if it was my past self in this position, I'd be at my wit's end. It's as if the experience I gained from kasen's role became an armour that's protecting me.

A: Like self-confidence?

W: Yes. I think it's better to say that from his first appearance onstage, his dialogue has progressed step by step. Before, he didn't have the courage to have conversational exchanges with his fellow companions so he'd be a little—how do I put it—in human terms...shy? A shy sword. That gradually receded and he increasingly felt that that the citadel [and all its inhabitants] must be protected. That became a point of connection [idk if kuma means connection as in kasen connecting with his fellow swords or him connecting with kasen, but most likely it's both]. When that link was established, I thought, "Ah! We're growing together."

A: Ah, that's a great point of playing a character for the long term; you form a connection across successive performances. Were you relied upon, this time?

W: See, there were those joining for the first time. As the most experienced one it was a given that I'd become a reference point. But during my solo fight rehearsals, I'd have to pull everything off perfectly.

A: www Everyone was watching you?

W: Everyone, everyone! I was happy because it was inevitable, but I also kept in mind that I can't mess up.

A: That pressure was there too huh.

W: They'd observe and learn.

A: What about the places where you and kasen vary?

W: That's a bit difficult to answer.

A: Right? It's because you're different that it's fun to act.

W: Absolutely. Going onstage to perform as something that is uncustomary to the self is what it's all about.

A: Still, this time it's all about elegance? Refinement?

W: Amazingly so. Tremendously so.

A: *laughs bc kuma says it so profoundly* Eh? Speaking of 'kiden' [綺伝/ literally 'beautiful tale']—

W: It's the 'ki' [綺] from 'kirei' [綺麗/beautiful]. It's a work fully deserving of the title. Additionally, Hosokawa Gracia-sama made her debut. It's full of beauty all over.

A: umm what about Hosokawa Tadaoki-sama?

W: Don't ask about him LMAO

A & W: *laugh a lot* [if you've seen tadaoki's character visual you know why lol]

A: The visual was AMAZING wwww

W: lol they're a married couple, so their story is the central axis. The creation of their relationship is fascinating.

A: I'm suuuuuper curious about it.

W: Right?

A: I'm looking forward to it all~

---

A: We received a lot of mail this time around.

W: All of them couldn't be read but—

A: Not within this time limit, but if you do come again, takuma-kun...

W: Wait, for real?

A: ww

W: I'll be ready any time!

A: www really? If you say that the staff will keep calling you all the time!

W: I'll come over immediately! ASAP !!

A: Let's enjoy ourselves next time too. This has been Yamanbagiri Kunihiro's actor Aramaki Yoshihiko and—

W: Kasen Kanesada's actor Wada Takuma—

A & W: Bye bye~!

#this was a long time ago but with kiden coming up soon i thought i would test my jp listening skills ^^#aramaki yoshihiko #wada takuma #tousute #nearly two years ago now :0 #touken ranbu 2.5 radio #*rough translation* *translates a good chunk of it anyway*#@ one point makki also says takuma-kun seemed to have changed. He did change ofc. mans went thru an entire development arc via kasen.#also i think it's neat that wadakuma has a purple mic :^)#my translations #<- lol thats a real tag now #sighs really loudly they love their respective characters so much

── 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧𝙨 𝙐𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙈𝙖𝙨𝙠 ──

Pairing: Daichi Sawamura x f!reader

Summary: Two strangers laid their eyes upon one another and were captivated at first sight. All they were itching to know was their name yet who knew they were closer to each other than they realized.

Warning(s): cursing, fluff, adorable all around!!

A|N: I hope you enjoy this mini series! Any heart or reblog would be appreciated thank you! Feedback too :D

Links: m.list | writing commissions ✏️ || tip the writer ✍️ ||

Part: 3

"Hurry up, Y/n!" Hinata yelled as he grew impatient.

"I'm coming, Shoyo! You're literally outside of my door." you hung up and grabbed your bag along with your phone.

Opening your bedroom door you saw your best friend standing there tapping his foot. "Was it really necesarry for you to call me when you were already here?"

"Yes!" he exclaimed "I don't want you changing plans last minute."

"I'm not going to bail on you guys." you chuckled "Relax, we are going to hangout together today."

"Alright. Come on we still need to get to the gym to warm up." he grabbed your hand and ran downstairs.

"Shoyo!" you exclaimed "Where's Tobio anyway?"

When you got to the bottom of the stairs you saw the black haired friend sitting down at the kitchen table. A sigh escaped your lips knowing he wouldn't pass up the chance of some milk with your mom's pastries. "I can't quite say that I'm surprised."

"Do you wnt...s-sum?" he muffled as he chewed down on the bread making his cheeks chubbier.

"I'll be fine." you answered unlike the orange hair who stuffed a plastic bag filled with pastries while your mom laughed.

"Why don't I just give you guys some extra ones?" your mom said as she filled another bag with individual wrapped bakery goods.

"We'd appreciate it!" the duo spoke.

"We gotta go or else you'll be late for the game!" you exclaimed pulling each one away from the counter covered in sweets.

"Let me get one more!" Hinata whined, "One more-"

"You'll both end up getting stomach aches if you don't stop!" you retorted.

What seemed like eternity you managed to get them out the door despite the begs. "Please make sure to come back soon boys!" your mom said.

"We'll be back Mrs. (last name)! Thank you for the sweets!" they both yelled in unison.

"I will see you before closing, mom." you kissed her cheek and grabbed the four bentos. "Thank you for the food!"

"Be careful okay?" she waved goodbye at you then chuckled to herself, "I'm glad my baby has her friends."

"Seriously you guys barely have enough time to get to the gym!" you yelled out as you three ran towards the school's grounds. "I told you we had to go!"

"Yeah but your mom's bread was so good!" Hinata jumped "It tasted like a fluffy cloud Y/n!"

"She definitely needs to bring her food to the next school's festival." Kageyama added "Imagine how much attention your mom's bakery would get."

You bit your lip "You're not wrong about that..."

Hinata looked at his watch, his eyes widened. "We only have 15 minutes to practice before the other school get's here Kageyama!"

"You idiot! I told you we had to go!" he moved closer to kick his butt but Hinata managed to dodge his hit.

"Oh shut up! You were stuffying your face too!"

"Why am I friends with these two again?" you muttered.

"Come on pick up the pace y/n!" Hinata and Kageyama grabbed your hands and ran faster than your legs could move.

"G-guys!" you exclaimed "I-I'll end up falling─ slow down!" they were too focused on getting to practice than hear about your objections "If I break a bone I'm telling my mom to ban you from the shop!"

After a five minute run that was supposed to be ten, you finally arrived. Your legs felt like jelly and your sweater was long gone as your body was too sweaty. 'This was worse than a summer day...' you thought, 'I showered and got dressed so nicely only for it to be ruined by those two. Ugh they owe me big time.'

You slowly treaded towards the stairs of the gym, their teammates were too busy preparing to notice you. A sigh escaped your lips upon feeling the cool air coming from the a/c. "This... this is nice." you mumbled. "It feels like a cold freezer..."

"Um... hi." a voice spoke coming from behind you.

"You two are so banned..." you muttered under your breath. Slowly you turned around to come face with two guys. 'They must be their teammates.'

"Are you going to keep blocking the door or can we get through?" the tall guy with the glasses spoke.

"Tsuki." the shorter one mumbled.

"Well?" he stared you down, "We don't have all day."

'He must be the guy that Shoyo and Tobio went up against.' you thought.

"R-right... but you don't have to be so rude you know." you answered.

Tsukishima rolled his eyes walking passed you meanwhile his friend gave you an apologetic smile. "He's usually not mean." he chuckled slightly "Do you need help with something?"

"No... I came to see some friends. But they left me out on the front steps to get ready for your match today."

"Wait... are you really their friend?" he asked.

"If you're talking about the tall one and the ginger then yes." you chuckled, "They said it was fine for me to come today."

"Don't take this the wrong way but..." he scratched his cheek looking away from you, "I'm surprised they have a friend that's a girl, given the way that they are."

"No worries. I understand what you mean especially since we met in very different times." You two walked inside "I'm still surprised they are friends."

"Y/n!" looking to the left you saw Yachi jogging over to you. "Oh hey, Tadashi!"

"I should go warm up, it was nice meeting you!"

"You too Tadashi!"

She then spoke again, "What happened to you? Did you run all the way here?"

"Hinata and Kageyama were too busy stuffing their faces with my mom's pastries. By the time they actually listened to me it was too late and we had to run all the way here." you whined "Now I'm all covered in sweat and I feel disgusting."

"I told them not to get distracted." she sighed "Do you want to freshen up? I have an extra shirt in the club room."

"Really? Id really appreciate that."

"Come on we still have a few minutes before the whole team gets here."

Your feet were too tired to walk yet somehow you managed to go upstairs to the room. "I swear one day those two will be the death of me." you complained.

"Can you blame them? Your mom's sweets are too good." Yachi chuckled.

Shaking your head you went inside and washed your face along with your arms and back. "How are the two doing with their quick attack by the way?" you asked.

"They're getting there, although they still want to make sure it comes out perfect. Coach Ukai said they need to upgrade it or else it won't be enough to get past the blocker's hands."

You nodded, "There's no doubt in my mind they will make it work. From the videos you've sent me those two can work a miracle even if they end up fighting... their goals are the same."

"Oh right I was going to ask you..." Yachi continued "... how did it go with your guy by the way? Did he end up messaging you?"

Biting your lip, you put on the white clean shirt. "He did, he was so nervous and sweet. I apologized to him about what my mom did yet he said he didn't mind because he was nervous about talking to me." you giggled.

"Wait so your mom really did give him your phone number?!"

"She did! I wasn't expecting her to go that far." you answered "But it is kinda embarrasing how she had to do it for me though..."

"Nonesense!" she exclaimed "You just needed that little push well you both did. I'm sure he knows that especially since he took the time to message you."

It was difficult to hide the smile that kept creeping up on your face. "As cliche as it sounds... it really feels like a movie Yachi."

"You're barely at the talking stage but what if he asks you out on a date then to become something more. Are you ready to go that far?"

Closing the locker you turned to face her, "Not going to lie with everything that has happened... I feel scared to say yes. After what happened I never really thought someone would take an interest in me and that I'd feel the same way."

Yachi placed her hand on your shoulder, "It's been at least 4 four years I think it is time to enjoy a new adventure in your life. You may never know what might happen."

"Yeah, I know."

There was a knock on the door, "Hey! Yachi are you almost ready? Kiyoko said she needs your help setting up."

"Yeah! We'll be right there Sugawara!" she yelled back.

"Who's Sugawara?" you asked.

"Come on let's go meet the rest of the team that way it'll be easier." she chuckled taking your hand and walking back to the gym.

There were sudden butterflies in your stomach, although you knew your friends were part of the team, you couldn't but wonder if it was okay for you to come. All you wanted was to make a good impression for the team that gave your friends the opportunity to play.

As soon as she opened the door everyone turned their heads to look at you. Two memebers then ran over to you both making you jump back.

"A new girl!" they yelled in unison.

"She's so cute!" the shorter one exclaimed.

"You didn't tell us you had such a pretty friend Yachi!" the taller one added.

Yachi became flustered, "Ah! T-this is m-my friend! She came to w-watch the game today. Y/n this is Tanaka and Nishinoya."

Feeling embarrassed you gave them a nod, "It's nice to meet you guys."

"She's so adorable!" Tanaka exclaimed "I hope we get to see you around here more often."

"Oh... um sure, if you guys don't mind." you said.

"Where have you been all my life?!" Nishinoya's eyes widened not being able to handle how cute you looked.

"Oh Y/n!" Hinata then jogged over to you guys "Can you help us toss some balls?"

"Yeah let's go-" you went to follow Hinata only to be taken away in the opposite direction.

"You need to meet the whole team." Nishinoya held your hand dragging you over to what seemed to be the third years along with other members.

"Guys! This is Yachi's friend, Y/n! Y/n, this is Suga or Sugawara for short, Asahi, Tsukishima, Tadashi, and Ennoshita!"

You tried to hide your nervousness, "Hello! It's nice to meet you guys, thank you for letting my friends play."

Tsukishima stared at you with an uninterested look, while Tadashi smiled softly.

"How did you manage for Hinata and Kageyama to get along? They were at each other's throats." Sugawara chuckled.

"Well... let's just say it's still hasn't changed much." you rubbed the back of your head. "But we make it work."

"Are you also a first year?" Ennoshita asked.

"Mhm I had to change school's during the second semester." you answered. "Karasuno is my second school."

"Well welcome to the team, I apologize in advance if things get out of control." Sugawara said "They're usually..." he tried to put into words but you understood.

"No worries if I can handle those two I'm sure it won't bother me." you chuckled. "Is this the whole team?"

"We're only missing our captain." Asahi answered, "Where is he anyways?"

Tskushima shrugged "He said something about needing to find his knee pads."

"Anyway we should go get ready before the school shows up. Let's start to warm up." Sugawara said and everyone went off to do their own things. "If you want you can sit down besides Coach Ukai and Mr. Takeda."

"Oh okay." you then looked around "Do you need help with anything?"

"I think we should be good, can you help with picking up the volleyballs and putting them in that basket when the other team gets here?"

"Sure." you were about to grab the cart when you heard the door open again.

"Oh! Daichi come over here!" he yelled.

Your feet froze, the numbness you felt earlier in your legs returned. 'Please... don't be who I think it is...' you thought lowering your head, 'Oh my god what if he gets dissappointed?'

You tried to subtly fix your hair and tuck in the club room shirt. Sugawara noticed, "Are you okay─"

"What is it Suga?" Daichi asked as he walked over to where you both were.

"This is the friend that they were talking about, this is Y/n." he said smiling softly at you. "Daichi?"

You slowly lifted your head to come face to face with those loving brown eyes. Daichi was in the same state as you, shocked yet happy to finally see you.

"Are you alright?" Sugawara asked looking at him.

"Y-yeah..." he chuckled awkwardly "It should have been obvious right?"

Your face was hot, "Y-yeah, I shouldn't have been so dumb."

"You two know each other-"

"This is y/n... the one I've been telling you about." Daichi said.

"Oh...." Suga mumbled "So you're the one he can't stop rambling about." a smirked then formed on his lips.

You blushed, "W-what, really?"

"Suga!" Daichi exclaimed.

"I can't believe after all this time you two would end up meeting each other at school." he said.

"Yeah..." you chuckled lightly "I knew you played a sport but never thought you were my friend's captain."

"I didn't know if it sounded cool─" he admitted.

"Are you kidding?!" you exclaimed "It's amazing! Volleyball isn't an easy sport. The amount of people that depend on you to lead them, yet you still have their backs and know what to say" you smiled looking up at him. "It's admirable really."

Daichi rubbed the back of his head, shyly smiling "Thank you I try my best to keep them under control... but sometimes they don't bother to listen."

"I know how that feels."

Sugawara stood quiet watching you two converse as if you were the only ones. He wanted to say something to get Daichi all flustered but didn't have the heart to do so. 'I am sooo going to have fun with this.' he thought.

frenemies

fem!reader x kyle o’reilly

reader is a member of the Undisputed Era and is a guest on Adam’s stream with the rest of the boys, but there’s been a tension building between reader and Kyle that implodes while on stream ...

word count: 5.6k

warnings: angsty, full of smut (hehe), kinda fluffy at the end

— i began writing this pre-ue break up and finished it post-ue break up :) —

masterlist || request an imagine here

~ 18+ content below - read at your own risk ~

Adam convinced you to come over to play video games on his stream. Accepting that offer was your first mistake. You knew Kyle would be there as soon as Adam said, "The boys and I were gonna stream today on my Twitch if you wanna join us." You should've said no, but you didn't put two and two together.

For weeks, somethings been going on with Kyle, and you don't know why. He's been acting more distant from you and when you actually talk to him, he makes short comments and barely says three words to you. You don't understand why and you've never been good at confrontation. Kyle was your closet friend in the Undisputed Era, but he's been cold toward you for weeks.

On Thursday at one, you pull up to Adam's house. Roddy's car is here but Kyle and Bobby aren't here yet. You grab your phone and turn off the car before getting out and walking up to the door. You knock three times and wait for someone to answer.

Britt Baker answers the door. "Hey! Y/N, glad you're here. I wondered if Adam invited you," she says, greeting me with a hug. "I guess you're going to be on stream, huh? You're not here to hang with me and Marina."

You laugh and say, "Maybe I'll stay a little bit after the stream is done to hang out with you and Marina. Roddy brought the whole gang over I'm guessing."

With that said, Marina appears in the foyer and says, "He did. He thought that I should hang out with Britt while the stream is going on. Troy is in the living room watching some of his father's favorite matches.:

"Of course," you say, smiling. "Let me go greet the guys and I'll sit with you guys until Adam says it's time for the stream to start."

Britt lets me walk past and I greet Marina with a hug before strolling over to Adam's game room. I can hear his voice and Roderick's voice coming from the room as I pop my head in. "Hey, losers," you say. Adam and Roddy both look at you and both men smile.

Adam says, "Hey, Y/N. I'm just explaining everything to Roddy. I'll catch you up when Bobby and Kyle get here."

Your heart skips a beat at the mention of Kyle. You keep a smile on your face as you say, "Great. I'm excited. What are we playing?"

"I was thinking some Wii Bowling," Adam says. "Or something Wii related. Maybe some VR games as well. I have Beat Saber, which is fun to play."

You sit in Adam's gaming chair and say, "Wii sounds fun. It's been a while since I've played Wii."

Roddy and Adam both laugh as Adam finishes up.

Bobby gets here about fifteen minutes after you and Troy run in after him, crawling onto your lap on Adam's chair. "Aunt Y/N, what are you gonna play with daddy, Uncle Adam, and Uncle Bobby?" he asks, curious. You smile and hold on on your lap.

"We haven't figured that out yet," you say. "I'll let you in on a little secret though." You lean into Troy's ear and your voice drops to a loud whisper. "I'm gonna beat your dad and your uncles."

Adam, Roddy, and Bobby all look at me and Adam goes, "Hey! I'm the professional gamer here."

You stick your tongue out at Adam and say, "I'm a professional Wii player."

Troy giggles and says, "Yeah! Aunt Y/N is gonna kick your butts."

You laugh and that's when another voice chimes in. "Who said that Aunt Y/N is gonna kick our butt?" You turn your head and look at the doorway.

Kyle. He's finally here.

"Uncle Kyle!" Troy says, scrambling off your lap and running over to Kyle. Kyle hugs the little man and picks him up.

Roderick looks at you then looks at Troy in Kyle's arms. "Alright, buddy," Roddy says. "Time to go sit with mommy and Aunt Britt. Maybe they'll give you a snack if you listen to them."

Kyle puts Troy down and he runs into the living room with Marina and Britt. Kyle closes the door behind him and turns to his Undisputed Era brothers and "bro hugs" them. Then he turns to you and you open your mouth to say something but Kyle says, "Surprised to see you here, Y/N. I didn't think Adam would invite you."

Adam looks at Kyle and says, "Bro-"

You cut Adam off and say, "I'm a member of the Undisputed Era too, Kyle. Or do you not remember saving me from an assault by Toni Storm then helping me secure the NXT Women's Championship against Io?"

Roddy, Bobby, and Adam all stare between you and Kyle as Kyle says, "You're only a member by storyline, Y/N. You're not an actual member."

Your eyes widen and Roderick jumps in saying, "Woah, Kyle. Dude, she's a member of the Undisputed Era. Storyline or not."

Adam says, "Alright before things get out of hand, let's get this stream started. You guys ready?"

Everyone nods. You keep your eyes on Kyle though, trying to figure out why he's making so many hurtful comments. Adam sits in his chair in front of the greenscreen and puts his headset on. You stand beside Roddy while Bobby and Kyle stand behind you too. Adam's going to make introductions. This is a surprise to his Twitch community that you're all going to be on. It's his 200th stream, and it was Adam's idea to bring you all onto the stream.

He looks at the camera and says, "Alright. It looks like I'm live. Is my early crew here?" He pauses and smiles. "It is the 200th stream, you're right. I have a surprise for the 200th stream but I want to wait for more people to get in here before I tell you guys what the surprise is."

You sigh and Roddy says softly, "You seem nervous, Y/N. You nervous?"

Shaking your head, you whisper, "No. I'm fine."

Adam says, "Alright. There's a decent amount of people in here now. Do you guys want to know the 200th stream surprise? It might, how do you say it, shock the system." He smirks and winks a few times at the camera before waving you over first. "Okay, so first we have Miss L/N."

You jump into the frame behind Adam and smile. "Hey," you say before glancing at the chat. "Woah, hi, everyone. Looks like chat is excited."

He laughs and says, "Y/N isn't the only surprise. We got the whole gang here. Roddy, Kyle, Bobby." The three of them join you in standing behind Adam. The chat goes wild and the viewership goes up by a couple thousand. Adam looks at the four of you behind him before looking back at his chat. "Woah, it's going by so quick. So many gifted subs and bits, holy crap."

"Is this a PG stream?" Bobby asks.

Adam nods and says, "Yeah."

You and Roddy both laugh because Bobby likes to curse so much. All of you have to remind him to stop cursing while in the ring sometimes. It's crazy how much he likes to curse, but you like to too so you can't say anything.

That's when Kyle takes his first on-stream jab at you. "Y/N, you better watch your mouth," he warns you. "Adam won't be happy if you start dropping f-bombs on his stream."

To get back at him, you say, "You better watch your mouth before I kick your butt in whatever game we're about to play."

Kyle glares at you and Adam says, "Alright, so I was thinking of games we can play and it's recently been brought to my attention that Y/N is a professional Wii player so let's put that to the test and see just how good she is. Y/N? Game options?" He looks back at you and you begin to think.

"Wii Sports," you blatantly say. "I wanna beat Kyle's butt just because I can."

The group laughs, except for Kyle. You look over at him and smirk. Roddy puts a disk into Adam's Wii console and hands remotes to all of us. Kyle doesn't get one because only four people max can play Wii Sports.

Kyle says, "What about me? I didn't get a remote."

Bobby looks at all of us as we connect our remotes then says, "Maybe you can share with Y/N. I'm sure she wouldn't mind bowling every other frame."

Mentally you groan but physically you say, "Yeah, just pick up your spares, O'Reilly." All of you pick the Miis that you made before the stream. You and Kyle are third to go, and you both decided to throw every other frame. You'd get even frames and Kyle would get odds, so he starts off the game for you both.

Roddy misses a spare in the first, Adam strikes, Kyle picks up his spare, and Bobby gutters then knocks down seven pins on the second shot.

Half the game passes and you're having fun with your doubles partner. Kyle doesn't make any snide remarks toward you and actually cheers you on when you make a spare or strike. In the eighth frame, he actually gives you a high-five.

As Kyle throws the ninth frame, you lean and whisper in Adam's ear while he's out of frame, "You set this up, didn't you? Making Kyle and I team up like this?"

Adam shrugs as Kyle strikes. You get excited and actually hug Kyle. You're now right behind Adam in scoring. Bobby has no chance at winning the game, Roddy isn't that far behind you, and you are just seven pins behind Adam.

You watch as Adam throws his tenth and final frame. He strikes and picks up his spare. Now you're twenty-seven pins behind the leader of the Undisputed Era. He threw a 156 game. You and Kyle can get a 159 if you get all three strikes in the tenth. Technically, you just need two strikes and eight pins on the third shot to beat Adam with a 157 game.

Kyle watches as you get the first strike in the tenth. He cheers for you. You sigh and get ready for your second shot. You strike again. Eight more pins and you beat Adam.

Then it happens. Kyle has had all game to do something to you and he does it just as you throw the ball. It over hooks and you only knock down three pins. You lost by four pins because Kyle decided to yell, "Let's go, Y/N" at you and he scared you so much you jumped, affecting what the ball does on the screen.

The look on Kyle's face was priceless when you turned to him. He looked terrified. "I had it, Kyle!" you shout, kind of annoyed at him. Then you snap. "You just love when I prove myself wrong, don't you? I don't get it. We were so close and all of a sudden, you start acting differently. It's like I did something to you and I don't know what I did."

"Y/N-" Kyle starts.

You cut him off and say, "Save it, O'Reilly." You shove the remote at him and leave the game room. You walk into the kitchen, needing a glass of something to keep you from absolutely losing it.

He didn't need to yell it. He could've done anything else except yell it. It scared you so much that you messed up the winning shot.

Britt and Marina walk into the kitchen and Britt asks, "What happened? You stormed out of there and you looked angry."

After chugging a glass of water, you say, "Kyle happened. Again. He's been up my ass for months and I don't know what I did to deserve this. We were like best friends and he was so excited when I joined the Undisputed Era. Now all of a sudden he's saying the only reason I'm in the group is because of storylines and he's making sure that I prove myself wrong. I say I can beat the guys and he yells something, scaring me, so I mess up the shot and losing to Adam."

Marina sighs and says, "You need to talk to him, Y/N. This pent-up frustration isn't going to do either of you any good."

"I'm not good at confrontation, Marina," you explain. "I never have been."

There are footsteps that come into the kitchen and you look behind the girls to see who it is. It's Kyle. You roll your eyes and try to ignore him even as he says, "Y/N, I'm so sorry. I didn't know that it would scare you like that. I wouldn't have done it if I had thought-"

You snap and say, "You haven't been thinking, Kyle. Not recently, anyway. These comments you're making hurt me. It hurts when you tell me I'm only in the group because of a storyline when you all welcomed me into the group a few months ago."

The girls leave the room, leaving me and Kyle alone. You sip off another glass of water as Kyle says, "I felt like things were changing with us, Y/N. That's why I started acting the way I have been. I pushed you away because I was scared."

Annoyed, you ask, "Scared of what, Kyle? Scared I was going to do something that would risk our friendship? I noticed it too and I was scared too, but I didn't start making rude comments toward you." Finally, you meet Kyle's eyes. They're full of sincerity and regret.

Kyle says, "Come back to the group. I'm sorry for yelling and making you mess up your shot. I promise I'll be good."

"I don't trust you," you say. You have every right to not trust him. Every time he tells you he'll stop making comments, he does it again. He does it multiple times. "You say that then break your promise. It's happened several times at this point, Kyle."

He looks kind of hurt at your comment. Then something inside Kyle snaps and he says, "Such a hypocrite. You tell me that you'd never make hurtful comments but then you say you don't trust me."

You put the glass down and say, "Maybe you understand what I've been going through for the past few months now, Kyle." Tears sting your eyes as you stare at Kyle. "Do you know how many times I've been alone in a room after you've left and I've just cried? Do you know how many times I've wondered what I've done wrong that has made you treat me this way?"

Kyle almost shouts, "It's nothing you did, Y/N! You haven't done anything except being the kindest and the most caring human being toward me for years. I just started to fall for you and it scared the hell out of me so I just pushed you away."

Your jaw drops. You had noticed that your friendship may have been treading into the more than friends territory but you didn't know that Kyle was falling for you this entire time.

The man in front of you is the most vulnerable than he's ever been. He just told you the one thing he was terrified of telling you at risk of ruining your friendship with him.

He avoids eye contact with you as you leave your spot by the sink and walking over to Kyle, who stands on the other side of the kitchen island counter. He doesn't look at you when you approach his eyes and look up at him.

You'd be lying to yourself if you didn't admit that you might have been falling for Kyle as he was falling for you. Kyle's always been so sweet. He cares for you and the boys, and he's never afraid to show his soft side. Sometimes that side of him shows up on television, and you're guilty of trying to coax that softer more adorable side of him out in front of the cameras.

Whenever you and Kyle would be together, it felt like the world around you stopped. Whether that was having a conversation in your shared locker room with Adam, Roddy, and Bobby or just hanging out at your apartment or his house. It was always you and him against the world, and you just want that back.

Kyle still avoids your eyes as you examine his face as he looks at his hands on the counter. You rest one of your hands on Kyle's and he finally looks over at you. He stands at almost six foot but you're at five foot six so he doesn't tower over you. It would be so easy to just lean up and kiss him.

Fuck it, you think before you grab the collar of his shirt and pulling him down to you. Your lips crash to his and both of you gasp as your lips make contact. You're hesitant with kissing him at first but you slowly gain confidence, pressing your lips harder to his. Kyle pulls back and looks at you, panting slightly. "I don't want your pity kisses, Y/N," Kyle says to you.

"Who said it was a pity kiss?" you question, raising your eyebrows at him as you look up at him.

He sighs and says, "Y/N-"

You shake your head and say, "No. I'm not going to let you talk yourself into it being a pity kiss because it wasn't, Kyle. It was anything but a pity kiss. If your dumbass didn't start pushing me away then it could've happened sooner."

Kyle looks down at you and says, "I don't know what you mean."

Sighing, you say, "I noticed our friendship changing too, Kyle. I mean it. I was ready for you to possibly take the next step by asking me on a date or by kissing me. Then you started treating me differently and I thought it was all in my head. Maybe if you just talked to me instead of saying hurtful comments then maybe I would have kissed you before right now."

"So," he sighs. "That wasn't a pity kiss?"

You smile and shake your head. "That wasn't a pity kiss," you confirm. You slide your hands from the collar of his shirt to his cheeks, where you cup his face. "That was the farthest thing from a pity kiss."

Kyle asks, "Do it again?"

Laughing, you get on your toes and kiss him softly. This kiss is slower but more passionate than the last. Kyle actually touches you, resting his hands on the sliver of bare skin exposed between your loose black crop top and your light blue high-waisted ripped jeans. Kyle turns and presses you against the counter before he reaches down and sits you on the counter. You hold Kyle close, scared to let him go.

Your heart races in your chest. This is everything you've wanted for so long. You've wanted to call Kyle yours for months. After today, maybe he will be.

You pull Kyle closer to you and he leans forward, almost pushing you back onto the kitchen counter. That's when you pull back and giggle, "I don't think Adam would like the fact that we're making out on his kitchen counter. I'm sure he and Britt eat here."

Kyle smiles and kisses your jaw softly before he says, "He has an extra guest room upstairs. I don't think he'd like it if we did anything in his house but I think he'd prefer a bedroom than his kitchen counter."

Smiling, you lean your head back a bit as he kisses your jaw and says, "I'd prefer a bedroom than the kitchen counter too."

"Then let's go," he says, taking your hands. You smile and hop off the counter. "We can't make a lot of noise though because Adam is doing a PG stream right now and the walls in this house aren't exactly thick."

You nod and look up at Kyle. He's almost glowing since he told you how he felt. You feel so happy that everything is out in the open. You don't like how he pushed you away instead of telling you how he felt, but you can get over that if it means that everything can go back to how it was.

Kyle smiles and walks out of the kitchen. The stairs are in the living room, which means you have to walk past Britt and Marina to go upstairs. This is going to be interesting.

You and Kyle walk into the living room hand in hand. Britt and Marina look over at the two of you and Britt's eyes widen. Marina points and says, "That was not a thing a few minutes ago."

Your face gets all flustered and you look up at Kyle. He says, "Well, it's a thing now. And if you excuse us, we need to make up for some time. Upstairs. We'll be quiet."

He leads you upstairs and Britt says, "Keep the sheets clean, please. Condoms are in the bathroom." Kyle chuckles as you both get up the stairs.

"The guys could have heard that," you gasp as you reach the top of the stairs. Kyle cups your face with his hands and presses you against the wall.

You stare up at Kyle as he says, "They'll just be jealous that I'm finally getting everything I want." You grab at Kyle's shirt and hold him close to you.

He kisses your forehead and you close your eyes, asking, "Everything?"

Kyle nods and says, "You're all I want, Y/N."

Your eyes open and you meet his eyes. His face is close to yours and you lean your head up, lips barely touching his. "You're all I want too, Kyle," you say in almost a whisper. "You're all I've wanted for months. There's a reason why there was no one else after I broke up with Murphy a few months ago. It's you. You're it for me, Kyle."

He pushes your hair back out of your face and he says, "He never treated you right, Y/N." He tilts his head, almost kissing you.

"You will?" you ask.

Kyle nods and says, "One hundred percent I will treat you better."

You grow tired of being close to Kyle without him kissing you so you get on your toes, kissing him. The kiss is quick and needy. Kyle stumbles with you to the guest bedroom and kicks the door closed with his foot. You're pressed against the door, kicking off your sneakers while Kyle runs his fingers over the exposed skin on your stomach. You shiver under his touch before you pull at his shirt. Kyle pulls back from the kiss and pulls off his shirt. You run your fingers over his tattoo and see the thing on his arm that monitors his blood sugar levels.

"Are you okay to, you know?" you ask, trailing off.

Kyle glances at his arm monitor and says, "Yeah. I took my meds and I ate so I'm okay. For at least the first round, anyway."

You giggle and say, "Mr. O'Reilly, you don't plan on keeping me for the rest of the day and the night, do you?"

He attacks your neck with kisses before he says, "One round and cuddles then we gotta join the boys to finish Adam's stream. We can negotiate what happens afterward later."

Your fingers run through Kyle's hair and you sigh, "Less talking, Kyle. Please."

Kyle smiles against your neck and walks back to the bed. You pull off your crop top, exposing your black Calvin Klein bra. Kyle's eyes are on your body as he sits on the bed. He kisses your stomach and unbuttons the jeans you're wearing and you watch his fingers. He pulls the jeans down, leaving you in nothing but your underwear.

You slide down to your knees in front of him and pull down his loose sports shorts, leaving him in his boxers. You look up at him with innocent eyes and run your fingers over the bulge in his underwear. He sighs softly and leans back on his hands.

It's been a while since you've been with someone, but it's Kyle. Your nerves were shot just kissing him.

Kyle says, "I can see the wheels turning in your head, Y/N. If you don't want to do anything then we don't have to."

You say, "I want to. I want ... you."

He sits back up and pushes a loose strand of hair behind your ear before he says, "You have me."

With that finally said, you smile and leave soft kisses on his knee and thigh. Kyle smiles and you trace over his hardened member in his boxers for a second before you hook your fingers in the waistband. You hesitate for a second before you pull the thin fabric off his body. His erect dick pops out and you gasp at the sight. He's bigger than you thought it was, but you definitely won't complain about it. "Shit," you sigh.

Kyle laughs and watches you. You take his member in your hand and stroke him a few times. Kyle whines softly and lays on his back as you kiss the tip. You nestle yourself between his knees as he legs hang off the bed. Slowly, you begin to take him in your mouth. Kyle gasps and runs his fingers through your hair. Your hands move to his thighs as you bob your head up and down, sucking occasionally.

Soft noises leave Kyle's lips and they go straight to your core. You slip one of your hands into your panties, rubbing yourself to relieve yourself a bit. You moan softly and Kyle gasps, "Keep doing that and I don't think I'll last as long as we both want."

You slowly pull away from Kyle's member, wiping away some saliva that has rolled down your chin as you sucked Kyle off. Kyle sits up and kisses you hard. His hands are on your face as he pulls you up. You straddle his waist and he rolls so he's hovering over you, not breaking the kiss. Your tongue slips into Kyle's mouth as the kiss intensifies.

Kyle's fingers slide down your body until they get to the waistband of your panties. He hesitates before you take his hand and guide it into your underwear. His fingers make contact with your slick folds and you gasp. Kyle pulls back from the kiss and says, "Already so wet for me, baby."

"Only for you," you gasp as his pointer fingers circles your sensitive clit. Kyle kisses down your body and pulls off your panties. He throws your legs over his shoulders and your core is completely exposed to him.

He kisses your inner thighs, close to your soaked sex. You whine and look down at Kyle. He kisses closer to your core. You shiver with anticipation as he finally runs a finger through your folds. You gasp and lay your head back on the bed. "Kyle," you sigh. "Please. I've waited long enough. Tease me later."

Kyle looks up at you and asks, "So there will be a later?"

You look down at him between your legs and you say, "Only if you do something now and don't tease me."

He bites his lip softly for a second before he finally dives in, kissing and sucking on your clit. You let out a soft moan as his tongue circles the sensitive bud. You grasp onto the blankets and smile as he makes you feel euphoric and full of bliss. His finger dips into you and you gasp, not expecting that. Kyle moves his finger in and out of you as you are pulled closer to an orgasm.

Once Kyle adds a second finger and continues to suck on your clit, it's basically over for you. Your legs shake as you are literally seconds away from your pending orgasm. "Kyle," you cry out as he curls his fingers slightly. "Kyle, baby, I'm about to cum."

"Let me taste you, Y/N," he says before continuing to suck on your clit.

Seconds later, your toes curl and you cry out Kyle's name as you release all over his fingers. Kyle hums softly as he tastes your juices and cum. You pant as he gets on his knees and licks his lips. You watch him and try to catch your breath.

He made you cum in minutes just from his mouth and fingers. You begin to wonder how long you'll last when he finally fucks you.

You sit up and leave a few soft kisses on Kyle's chest. Your hands are on the side of his body, holding him close to you. Kyle runs his fingers through your hair and says, "I need to grab something, Y/N, and you need to let me go so I can go get it." Pouting, you let him go and he climbs off the bed. "I promise I'll be quick." He leans down and pecks your lips before putting on his boxers and walking out of the room. You scootch back on the bed a bit as you bite your lip gently.

Kyle returns with a little silver package and closes the door. He walks toward you on the bed but you say, "Lose the boxers before you get on this bed, O'Reilly."

"So demanding," Kyle teases, stripping out of his boxer shorts. "I kinda like it."

Smirking as he crawls toward you, you giggle, "You would." Kyle smiles and hovers over you as you lean back so you're laying on your back. Your hands cup Kyle's face and you stare up at him.

His eyes scan your naked body beneath him and you get a little self-conscious. "You're so beautiful, Y/N," Kyle sighs. "I don't know how I went this long without touching you or kissing you. I really was a dumbass, wasn't I?"

You say, "You were, but I can forgive you for that." You smile and lean up, kissing Kyle. He props himself up on his arms and kisses you back. You wrap your arms around his neck and hold him close.

Kyle pulls back from the kiss after a second before he opens the little package. He slides the contents on himself and you watch as he hovers over you again.

Kyle kisses you and you quickly slip your tongue into his mouth. You smile against his lips and you feel his tip run through your folds. You sigh and slide your fingers into his hair.

You hold Kyle close before he pulls back and asks, “Are you sure you want this?”

Nodding, you say, “I want this. Please.”

He smiles and he sets himself up at your entrance. You take one of his hands and hold it as he slides into you. You whine and gasp as his length fills you. Your eyes squeeze shut and Kyle asks, “Okay?”

“Yeah,” you sigh. “I’m okay. Keep going.”

Kyle continues to slowly slide himself into you. You grip his hand until he’s completely inside of you. He lets you adjust and you nod when you’re ready for him to move.

He begins to thrust slowly, making you sigh softly. You wrap your legs around his waist, holding him close as he picks up speed.

Soon, the room is filled with your moans and the sound of skin slapping. Kyle’s thrusts are hard and fast into you. His lips are on yours as he tries to silence your moans.

His lips leave yours and attach to your neck. Your back arches off the bed and you sigh, “God, you make me feel so good. I love how good you make me feel.”

Kyle mumbles, “I love you, Y/N.”

You smile after Kyle’s words. His tip finds your g-spot and you cry out, “Fuck, right there. Oh, God, don’t stop. Please don’t stop.”

“I would never even think of stopping,” Kyle pants as he fucks you.

Moments later, your legs begin to shake and a pit forms in your stomach. Your lips are on Kyle’s again, passionately kissing him as he thrusts hard into you.

Kyle’s movements get sloppier and your whole body seems to shake as you’re pulled closer to an orgasm.

You whine, “Kyle.”

He says, “Cum for me, baby. I wanna feel you cum again for me.”

Soft whines and moans pass your lips as the pit in your stomach bottoms out and you release on Kyle’s length inside you. He cums into the condom. He helps you both ride out your highs before he collapses onto you.

Both of you are sweaty and panting as you recover. Kyle smiles and buries his face into your neck.

“Worth the wait,” he pants.

You giggle and look at him. “Did you mean it when you said you loved me?” you ask.

He looks up at you, meeting your eyes before he says, “Of course I did. I’ve been falling in love with you for weeks. I didn’t just say it and didn’t mean it, Y/N. I would never say it and not mean it.”

You lean your head up and peck his lips before you say, “I love you too, Kyle. Does this mean that we’re together?”

Kyle smiles and says, “Let me take you out on an official date then we’ll talk about it.”

We are driving though glacier national park and I could cry it's so beautiful. Today has been so beautiful. I am seriously having the best trip.

It has been a very long day, both figuratively and literally. Because we cross two timezones we gained hours! And it's just been really neat.

I did not sleep a lot last night. After I got my post up I decided I would stay up for Minneapolis even if it wouldn't be until midnight. But the stop isn't actually in Minneapolis, it's in St Paul. But it was still fun to sit and watch things go by I loved so dearly.

And I just watched videos and watched the world go by.

James woke up to use the bathroom and sat with me for a little bit. I had gotten a little upset when I realized I lost the back and battery of my Bluetooth remote for my phone camera. I was sure it was in this cabin but with the beds set up I could not find it. And it made me feel really dumb and bad. But James helped me feel a little better because we went to sleep for real.

I was woken up by the sunrise. James was trying to come down from the top bunk and I grabbed their foot. We cuddled a little. But then it was time to get dressed. Which was a little hard but basically like changing in the back of the car so it was fine. And then it was time for breakfast.

Which was very good! Mine did get lost for a little. It eventually came out after getting stuck in the dumbwaiter. I got a breakfast quesadilla which I would enjoy very much. James had French toast. We talked to the women at our table a little but they weren't super chatty. Which was fine. I enjoyed James's company. And once we were done we went back to the cabin, where our attendant had changed our space back to seats.

We would just enjoy watching the world go by. We would talk. And take pictures. Lots of laughs. I did some drawing. And eventually we got to go outside for a little break in North Dakota. We walked the length of the train and took pictures. And then it was back inside.

They told us lunch would be at noon mountain time. So we had some extra time. We hadn't even switched to that time zone yet. But that was just fine. I had the rest of my quesadilla and played a game. It was just so beautiful outside and I was having the best day.

Eventually we got the call for lunch, our table mates from yesterday basically run past our door so we ran after that. It was very silly and we were all giggling at how dramatic we were being.

Lunch was good! I just had a salad, it was nice to have some kind of vegetable. It was a strawberry salad which isn't my top pick but I actually enjoyed a lot. The movement of the train is a little hard on my tummy though and I would get nauseous really quick so that is something I have to consider with the foods I choose. But the salad was good and I felt happy. Me and James shared a butter cake. Our table mates this time were our neighbors! And it was very fun talking to them about my thesis and art. They were very good sports about me talking to much. I was telling James I know that Europeans can think Americans are a lot, but Americans can already think I'm a lot so I hope I didn't scare them. They are very nice.

Me and James went to the observation car next. And while it is neat, I prefer our car. We can be cozier, my things are there, I have my activities. But we stayed there for about an hour. I listen to the rest of the scary story I had been listening to. And James worked on figuring out how to fix the airport mistake.

Somehow we got a return flight to an airport in Virginia. 2 hours from home. So thankfully we were able to find a car to rent but it was just not what I was hoping we were going to have to do. But there are no flights direct to bwi, so unless we want a 20 hour layover this is our best choice. If something has to go wrong I'm glad it was just that.

We went back the our car after that was sorted. Where I found the back of my shutter! I was thrilled.

We would take silly pictures in the cabin. And I just felt so happy and relaxed. I did some sewing. I did some drawing. I was just in a great mood.

We were finally in mountain time. And a little into Montana we got another fresh air break. At this stop we got to see an old train that I think was the former empire builder engine car. We took pictures with that and were just enjoying the sunshine even if we forgot our sunglasses and could not see without squinting. We were just giggly and happy and this has been such a wonderful trip so far and it's literally just the begining. If the rest of the trip is half as fun it'll be a blessing.

The rest of the afternoon was watching the plains. It is unreasonably pretty. And I took over 130 pictures just today because it's so stinking pretty.

And then it was dinner time. The woman we sat with wanted to see our wedding pictures and had lots of questions and that made me feel so good. She said we were such a fashionable couple and that was such a big compliment. Made me feel great. And the dinner we had was good too. I got Mac and cheese, James got a steak. It was fun watching on the map to see when we went through the Blackfoot Indian reservation, and all of us were speculating when we would get to the mountains.

Me and James went back to the cabin and watched the world. We fixed our bags a bit so tomorrow will be easier for packing to move out of here and arriving in Seattle. We saw some interesting things. Like pheasants, antelopes, bleached bones, and even a child mooning the train. Hilarious.

But all I cared about were the mountains. I was practically vibrating with excitement once we could see them out in the distance. As we edged closer I saw a white fox and a beaver and a horse that had left it's fence. But then the mountains were closer. And they were beautiful. My pictures don't do them justice. I'm so glad we got to see them for almost two hours before the sun went down. Because it was everything. We saw meandering water, babbling brooks, we went under tunnels and saw cabins and snow. We went through clouds and fog. It was just. Magical.

But I did lose service as soon as well got up here. So this post won't be there when I want it to. But as soon as I can get it up I will. I apologize but I'm on my honeymoon so you don't get to be upset with me. Just know I am having an absolute blast.

Tomorrow we should arrive in Seattle in the early afternoon. We will see when it actually happens. We are both excited for full showers and a hopefully big bed. But also I'm excited to see another place!

I hope you are all having fun as well, sleeping good and appreciating the nature around you. Goodnight!!

Y'all get this

A fourth part

This will be the only time I ever write 3 anythings within a day. Its probably short maybe shorter than the last.

Please forgive me if it's terrible I'm bad at writing multiple characters. And they're possibly poorly written I am sorry.

You know the rules by now, spoilers ahead dont read unless you wanna be spoiled about things or you already watched or played the game Inscryption!

It's been some days since our meeting. Now that we've actually met and spoken to each other, P03 would make sure I took care of myself and not miss any classes, saying he was only doing it so I would owe him, and play with him again. Keeping up my end of the bargain there, I did continue to play his game. Either way, it's nice having someone to talk to during these times, even if they degraded my sense of coat for a summer day.

And, today was the day I had planned to visit my family. Our family friends, the Young's heard what happened to Luke and had stayed with them for abit in my absence, to help comfort my family. I'm kind of glad that by now they'll be gone, I just dont feel like seeing others right now. Though, P03 was a stranger technically, but it's, it's just a robot... even if I did get attached immediately.

And now, I'm home. I left the computer at my dorm room, I feel kinda bad, but-

Thud!

Suddenly I'm jolted out of my thoughts by something slamming into me!

I hear the sound of an excited little girl yell. "CARTER!!" She giggles as she does so.

"Ouch! You've gotten stronger since we last saw each other havent ya punk haha!" I ruffle her hair, it's one of my little sisters, G.G., or Georgia. I hug her and pat her on the back as I do so, before picking her up, and looking to see very familiar faces.

"Hey Car, hows college?" A high school boy asks me, hands on hips and smiling a small grin, presumably at the girl who charged at me.

"Horrible my dear Alex! Wish I could come back home, but I dont wanna sleep in the spare room." I say, abit dramatically causing the people around to chuckle. My other little siblings, Brian and Raine came over to me to show some of the stuff they made, Raine showing me some of her art, and Brian having shown me some lines of code he made work.

I, really did miss these kids. A lot... I'm glad I did come back.

Nothing much happened really, we all hung out, played Luke's favorite card games, which half the time we were trying to figure out the rules, video games, and reminisced about old stories we had with him, us pranking him and in return him pranking us. It felt good, to remember him.

I stayed the night, and... I got a call... from... someone... I have no idea who, but I heard noises, at the other end. I sort of panicked and hung up, kinda scared I guess. I didnt tell anyone, I dont know why I just didn't... I didnt want to possibly endanger them...

I stayed another few nights, the same number called me many times. I... never told anyone, i eventually blocked it... And now here I am, getting ready to go back. I almost dont want to... Maybe I can tell P03, and ask for some help...

By the time I'm done pondering my possible situation I'm back. At my dorms. I hurry back into my dorm, hoping whoever called never followed me, and as soon as i entered my house i slammed the door shut and locked it. I ran to check on p03 to see if he was still there, and he was. It looked like he was trying to call someo- Oh.

Once he heard me come in he turned around, and he looked angry. "WHY DIDN'T YOU ANSWER MY CALLS!?" He sounded.... like the exact same noises from the other end of the phone.

"Oops..." is all I can really say.

7:33 p.m

I randomly checked your name on fb again idk why... and all of sudden I see all the same posts released except a new picture and a bunch of new content.

This morning my internet was funky I had to turn off my Data to load my youtube and then fb. So idk what to think. Idk if all this was there earlier today once I got on wifi or if you're confirming you're here.

I wish I had checked a few times this morning. I mean I did but one right after another.... cause my internet was so fucked.. i wish I had checked a hour later.

All i know is, it would be a lot of work to re-release that amount of content. Just to prove a point. Also all I know is this time I checked it was to confirm it wasn't internet and everything is different. The family reunion photo is up, Maybe it was never private.. idk...

All I know is my wifi/internet was being awful...

All I know is there are more than a few new posts and photos.. I wish I could play that game with you. I'd have to buy it, and then idk how I'd find you or if it's even cross-platform... I wish there was a way I could find you where we could know each other in a completely normal way.

I don't mean I want to stalk to you. I just mean i wish I was randomly at the Westfield mall or at a meet up, or in a video game multi-player room and I asked people to send a party invite or I saw you across the room.

I'd looked tattered and poor though. If I actually talked to you and planned a date I'd wear my best clothes. I won't show up anywhere other than places that have nothing to do with you. I can't help but hope if i join the tango class, maybe you'll join it that day but that's not why I'd go... I'd go to learn to dance and meet someone.

Anyways I want to believe you're here. Idk what was going on with my wifi. All I know is I checked your fb like 4-6 days ago. I don't do it often or daily but when I did 4-6 days ago everything was the same as weeks ago. Same content. Same photos. Same posts. Etc.

Then I check this morning almost everything was purged. Could be my wifi/data. Then I check 4 hours later and everything is back but with new content, new stuff that wasn't there a week ago. And stuff that wasn't there this morning.

Either it was all there this morning and my wifi/data was shit. Or you revealed it all, although I think it would be complicated to do all of that. Idk...

I do think you're here but I write it off to hope. Not delusion. I fully accept you may not be here but that doesn't mean I'm delusional.. it just means I'm hopeful.

I hope if you are here and everything was the same but my wifi failed me. I hope my dream didn't disgust/bother you. I did see something new about your husband. I'm just glad he makes you happy.

Today I decided to show something new besides showing people what I got for Christmas. So this time I decided to show what I got for my birthday. I go an Animal Crossing New Horizon Towel, Mario Starman Socks, a Sonic coloring book and some stickers even road stickers too. I even got a Resetti Amiibo even though I'm not a big fan of Resetti myself. (But I was glad he retired from the Reset Center and works as Rescue Service) I got rechargeable AA Batteries anytime I want to change batteries for one of my controllers, I got games, for Switch I got Mario and Sonic at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games, Even though the actual Tokyo 2020 is going to start soon and I can't wait to see anything good going on. I got Zelda Skyward Sword in HD since I hope the controls are a lot better then in the Wii Version. I got Balan Wonderwold, I wanted to try this game I heard it was created by the same person who worked on Sonic Adventure and Billy Hatcher. If I play it and I didn't mind anything in the game, I was going to add this game on the list of Video games I like that everyone else hates. And for PlayStation 4 I got Resident Evil Village, I wanted to try this game cause I know how much I love that villain in the game besides Mr. X and Nemesis. Plus I hope that game will be a lot better then Resident Evil 7 even though I don't why they want to continue using Ethan in the game right when he was introduced in 7. I got an eShop card for $50, I bet I can get something really good. And finally, I got an Oculus VR headset and I even got a USB plug I can use to play on my Computer, Even when I want to play any VR games on Steam. And yeah it has 250 GB and I bet I can have a lot of fun playing with the Oculus until I get a better model of the PlayStation VR soon. I bet I had an alright birthday compared when I had my 23rd birthday last year with the Animal Crossing New Horizons theme. Cause for my 24th I had an underwater and mermaid theme for my birthday. It was alright where I take turns on who's at my party. I kinda had a good birthday party. Even when I went with my mom to the park to practice a battle and she got to battle with me. So I bet I had a good birthday anyways.

First update, 2/8/2022

I know I haven't posted quite yet - I am here in Korea, and I've been trying to get over jet lag and get used to my surroundings.

There's not really a whole lot to touch on yet, besides the procedures I had to go through to even get here, and the food we've been served in quarantine... man are they feeding us well! I didn't eat much yesterday because I was asleep all day, but today... we got spicy beef and lamb soup for breakfast (delicious!!!); a tray full of fresh, crisp fruit and some bibimbap (a bowl of rice with stuff on it - this bowl had some sort of seafood, perhaps octopus, as well as shredded seaweed and some sort of dark meat, with a spicy tofu soybean sauce... it was so good!) for lunch; and a tray of various small servings of food (tempura shrimp, some sort of fish, a little piece of chicken, some seaweed, what seemed to be two different types of kimchi, and some beef) as well as some rice for dinner.

To actually get here, though... after both flights, which were rather uninteresting since the first was so short and the second was spent with the window shut because people wanted it shut, I had to stand in lines for about four or five hours just to get through legal stuff relating to quarantine, immigration, customs, et cetera. I then ended up waiting a couple more hours on a bus, to go wait on a train, to go get on another bus, to go get a COVID test, to get on ANOTHER bus, to finally get to the dorm.

Long day. Glad that's all over. I slept all day the following day, as I said - I needed it bad, and that all is why I'm just now posting this update.

If you want to hear more about the food I eat each day, I can post small updates on that each evening to tell y'all what I got to eat, but other than that... there really won't be much else to say until Sunday! I'm basically left to sit in here and twiddle my thumbs until then.

I may post pictures of the view from the balcony tomorrow, as well as some of the food I've been given; for now, I'm starting to get a little tired, and I'd like to sit back, relax, and play video games :)
