archon quest interlude: the crane returns on the wind spoilers below

traveler, you want more information about your sister but what exactly are you gonna ask? i hope you’re not gonna ask have you seen her, bc i’m pretty sure they would’ve told you if they had

i wonder if the dialogue changes depending on how much of the story past liyue’s msq you’ve completed

oooh shenhe’s eyes are pretty

ahhh the differences between cn and eng once again. in cn, when paimon’s introducing herself, she just says ‘my name is paimon,’ but the english dialogue says ‘paimon’s well...paimon!’

LMAO YOU KNOW WHAT I’D SUPPORT YOU ON THAT QUEEN

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

MHY

YOU CAN’T DO THIS TO ME

I ALREADY DECIDED I DIDN’T WANT HER

YOU CAN’T MAKE ME LIKE HER

ESP WITH THAT OUTFIT

ah that explains it

cloud retainer what are you teaching her...?

oh baizhu is here

they really be teasing dendro like that huh

we did pay for those herbs...right?

gee i wonder who that might be

was it supposed to start raining after you removed that protective spell?

ah damn it i brought ganyu into the domain when i didn’t need to bc there would be shenhe

oooh this abode is pretty

man trial shenhe as A LOT of hp

chest here

hm i plunged atk down but i wonder if you’ll actually take fall dmg

aw there was water at the end after you broke the second partition

chest here

another chest here after you move the first rock to the right

there was another chest but i claimed it before i could take a picture

when you move the rock on the left, if you move the first rock on the right revealed by pushing the rock on the left back, there will be a chest in an alcove on your left

i almost missed this exquisite chest XD if i hadn’t sat down, i would’ve missed it

it looks like none of the chests aside from the precious chest at the end give primos, unless i missed every single primo notification

man, mhy i want a stack of liyue books and a stack of scrolls now

aww that’s so cute

aww paimon’s so sweet

holy shit shenhe

ah, cloud retainer!!

cloud retainer is so prettyyyy

does this or does this not include zhongli

oh, so she didn’t get it from you

ah, gonna have to cross check this with cn text

oh? is it possible that the voice we heard in shenhe’s teaser was moon carver?

ahh the good old emotions are sealed away trope

well this isn’t ominous at all

and it’s fucking raining while you’re saying this

hahahaha

wait wtf it’s literally only been a night ningguang holy shit

wtf, mhy don’t you think this is a little fast????

oh it’s just the base, i see i see

that’s still a lot tho

ngl if the base was on the ground underneath the platform holding our unactivated plaustrite the day before, i did not see

hehe you can walk on the metal ropes tying the jade chamber to the ground and your steps make a little clank sound

LMAO 还有不认识的人

i hope that’s the right de

yun jiiiiiiiiiiin

her cute little wave

wahhhh she sounds so elegant in cn

eyyy we a team now

teamwork makes the dream work

why the zoom out?

eh?

qiqi? what are you doing there?

oh i walked into pervases’ world quest hahaha can’t do it until i finish the archon quest though

oh, you can talk to her!!

i wonder if i’ve missed anyone else i could talk to...

eh? evacuation? something bad in the sea?

qiqiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii ToT <3

oh that’s a mechanic they haven’t used in a while

i think the last time they used this was probably with the meteorite event

that’s sad

oh, shenhe’s shoes are open toed

what are you doing here

what

what happened in guyun forest

nvm i take it back traveler, ningguang would definitely hide things from you on purpose it looks like

MHY, NINGGUANG, THIS IS TOO FAST

THINK OF THE WORKERS

lowkey, is this how the devs are working bc oh my god the amount of content you guys bring out every six weeks in insane

ehe, fooling around a bit

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

okay that’s enough fooling around

awww even the millelith have little helmets to protect them

that’s a cute touch

eh, this guy also talks about guyun stone forest

apparently some of the soldiers were sent there

eh? beidou had other business to attend to...?

i figured she’d figured traveler would ask this question

i guess we can ask about guyun stone forest then?

oh that sounds nice

awww shenhe

lol is it bc you lost to her in chess?

this is probably about guyun again huh

makes me wonder exactly what the oceanic defender thing in lantern rite is...

it’s all coming together

but since ningguang said they set up an ambush....i can think of either the fatui or the treasure hoarders, but beidou’s fleet would be able to handle them i’m pretty sure

so i guess it’s osial or whatever has crawled its way out of guyun this time? dunno why you’d ambush them instead of just fighting them though

aww beidou told ningguang to take care of herself

i see i see

i still think we should know though???

i mean cloud retainer is concerned

and so is xiao

oooh that’s what she meant by ambush

osial had a wife?

lol traveler’s expression when it started getting stormy

i know it’s probably that they were narrowing their eyes but it looked like they were unimpressed hahahaha

“really? on this fine day?”

traveler why did you rush out like that

what were you hoping to accomplish

just hitting it won’t make the giant wave go away

THAT CUTSCENE

HOLY SHIT

THAT WAS GREAT

damn i was looking around guyun forest but i didn’t look at that island

i’ll have to ask someone else to check it for me

also i’d just like to say

I SHOULD’VE BROUGHT GANYU

I SHOULD’VE BROUGHT A RANGED CHARACTER PERIOD

I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS

guess she’s what we’re fighting in oceanic defenders then

awww i think cloud retainer is proud of shenhe

this is really cool of you to say ningguang but also please don’t

i don’t think we’d be able to build another one

ehhh, not sure how i feel about ‘traveler is the one who helped me feel welcome thing.’ gonna have to rewatch this quest when i’m not half asleep bc right now i feel like paimon was more conductive to that hahaha

alas, the shortcomings of having a protagonist who barely talks

LMAO THIS IS JUST LIKE WITH GANYU HAHAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHAHA

cloud retainer, you’re so petulant

oh cool you can teleport straight to the jade chamber, just like with beidou’s boat

oh that probably means we’ll be coming back here for hangouts huh

oooh looks like they’ve set up the opera!

oh that was really nice

awww yun jin that’s so sweet

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas go off queen

oh nice you get 2 of shenhe’s boss mats after you finish the quest

lol, when you talk to zhu tao after finishing the quest, traveler and paimon both recoil

ahhhh that was a nice quest. i really enjoyed it! i’m looking forward to lantern rite now

Mutual Diversion

Chargestep smut. 1k. I think I took out all my dumb notes? Ricardo/Octavia

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

“Hey, what are you doing here?” Ortega leans in for a kiss. You give him a quick peck and sidestep his attempt at more. You’re here to keep him distracted but that doesn’t mean you have to give in to everything. “I just wanted to stop by.”

“Aw, you wanted to see me. You missed me.” He leans in to kiss you again and you smack him lightly on the lips.

“I resent how you didn’t say that like a question.”

Ignoring his smirk, you walk further into the building, catching his hand as he reaches for you, and let him intertwine your fingers.

By now you don’t need him to lead you around. Not that memorizing floor plans has ever been hard for you. You can drag him along behind you instead of being dragged. You can sway your hips a little bit more than needed and know he’s behind you looking.

(You saunter saunteringly into Ortega’s office. “Wanna fuck?” You ask.)

You’ve learned you’re a temptation Ortega can’t resist. It’s to manipulate him, you keep telling yourself. Keep your enemies closer. Right? Even if it doesn’t fit with how your thoughts linger on him. How you can’t stop remembering how soft his hair had been all those years before when you used to run your fingers through it. It looks just as soft now.

It’s to manipulate him. So you visit him at work, bringing coffee and food and idle conversation.

And kisses.

Like now, you lean back against his desk and look at him through half lidded eyes. Smiling and pretending that this is pretending. When he kisses you, holds you a little too tight a little too right you sink into his arms. You suck his lower lip into your mouth and give it a gentle bite.

More making out

The words you mumble against his lips as he rubs his hand over the front of your jeans aren’t as planned out and calculated against your plans as they should be, more pure feeling bubbling up out of your lips and spilling out like acid.

Acid that will eat you up just like -

Best to throw that thought away. Away with thoughts of blood and lies. Focus.

The first time was a slip up. You were so starved and couldn’t think of a reason not to stay on that couch. Now it’s okay though because it’s all an act. A part of your plan. Keep him distracted. Keep him looking at you with lust instead of suspicion.

His teeth nip at your collar, a string of Spanish you can’t really make out when you slide your own hand down to touch him. You can’t help but smile when you feel he’s hard already, it’s a heady mix of pride and lust at knowing you’re the cause. He’s not shy about telling you what to do, what helikes, bringing his own hand in to show you.

It’s stupid how many times you’ve done this. Like you can’t resist any chance to learn more about his body. At least he can’t talk if he’s busy kissing.

You hate how he takes his time, touching every part of your body but never how you really want. The smug look on his face tells you he knows exactly what he’s going. Winding you up and falling to his knees to put his mouth on you. Drawing out a surprised moan.

Bury your hands in his hair as he works his tongue against your clit in slow circles. His hands caressing your thighs. You want more, you need more. You nearly sob when he teases you with a finger. Pressing against you and then pulling away to languidly rub against your folds. You grind your hips against him and try to thrust down on his finger. If you have to fuck yourself on him you will.

He pulls away and kisses up your stomach, laugh tickling your skin when you loudly sigh. You twist your fingers in his hair and pull. He stutters and moans, following your momentum up to kiss you. Lips slick and you can taste yourself.

“Fuck, Ortega, fuck me. Just fuck me already.” You gasp against his lips. Grinding your hips together. The longer this takes the more opportunity for you to say something stupid.

He just laughs into the kiss, moving his hand so you have something better to thrust against, needy and erratic. You should care that he can reduce you to this, but right now any higher thought is slipping away in a haze of pleasure.

Shit. Get yourself together.

You’re Leviathan, you’re in control.

It’s a simple thing to grab him and twist so he’s the one caught against the desk. He grunts at the impact of his lower back against the metal. Not exactly according to plan but oh well.

“Sorry.” You lean in and kiss his chest. Stopping to trace his scars with your tongue. It’d be so easy just to go lower and take him into your mouth. Licking up his chest, you take him in your hand and pump slowly, pausing to bite his nipple and smirk at the sound it earns you.

“Octavia,” he sighs. And you lean in to reclaim his mouth, gently sliding your tongue against his and tickling the roof of his mouth.

He’s putty in your hands. Lost in the feel of your hands and lips. It’s a fight not to lose yourself too.

Bite your lip, focus on the pain.

You know how to tilt your hips to make taking him an exquisite slide. Even at this angle. You know how to rake your nails down his chest and watch red lines rise as you start to rock your hips gently. It’s a little awkward and you’re essentially standing on your toes to make it work.

His hands squeeze and caress your ass. If he doesn’t stop looking in your eyes you’re going to headbutt him.

“It’d be easier to ride you if we could lie down.” You eye his couch. It’s covered in files and boxes, not really enough space for what you want to do.

His fingers trace up your back. “I could get on the floor?”

You laugh. “Your bones are too old for that.”

“Maybe it’s your knees that can’t take,” he pinches your ass, “But that’s not what I’m worried about you taking.” His voice lowers to a husky rasp.

Before you can respond, he grabs the back of your thighs and hoists you up. You’ve barely gotten your arms around his shoulders before he sets you down again, spinning you around by the waist and grinding his hips against your ass.

Your face is pressed into the wall and you don’t think he meant to be that rough because he presses a gentle kiss to the back of your neck. But his hands on your hips aren’t, his fingers digging in hard enough to bruise. You moan at the thought of him marking you, and you hate that it gets you so hot.

He holds you still as he enters you again, moving with shallow but forceful thrusts that betray his neediness. A string of whispered Spanish accompanied by soft moans. You think you hear your name in there somewhere. Whispered like a prayer.

He’s tugging you back into the movement, and it’s shaking loose a whimper every few thrusts. Shit, he’s not even actively fucking you and it’s doing stupid things to your brain.

One hand against the wall to keep you steady and the other gripping the bookshelf next to you. You grit your teeth and arch back into the next roll of his hips.

The next thrust is harder, the pace faster now, like he was waiting for permission to give you everything he wants to. Make you feel every moment he waited for you.

He tilts his head to drag his tongue against the underside of your jaw. Taking your skin between his teeth and biting, forcing a hoarse and stuttered moan out of you.

He’s rough. Not brutal, always thinking about your pleasure. One hand traveling around to your front to flatten against your clit and he’s slamming into you so hard it sends the bookcase crashing against the wall. You whine, wince, and grab his wrist, your clit fucking hurts it’s so good.

You wanted to be in control, were so sure you would be. The feel of his cock and the slide of his hand taking your breath away. Your surprised to realize the needy moans are coming from you.

Ortega’s hand feels so good right where it is but you grab his wrist and bring his fingers up to your mouth. Dragging your tongue from palm up and swirling your tongue over the tips of his fingers. He groans, pressing his fingers into your mouth, and you let him. Hollowing your cheeks and lavishing your tongue against him. (Wtf am I even talking abt?)

You roll your clit between your fingers. Motions not as smooth as you hoped. Everything ratchets higher, tighter, until your rocking between Ortega’s thrusts and your hand.

“I’m gonna kill you, I’m gonna fucking kill you,” you moan because there’s a tension coiling in your stomach and you’re trying not to beg.

“I love you,” he breathes out over your skin. Kissing it into the flesh of your shoulder. Thrusts going off tempo, shoving you forwards and dragging you back until there’s no choice but to but hold still as he fucks you. The bookshelf you lifeline as your knees turned to jelly long ago.

You’re going to come. Your so fucking close, you want to beg for it, so you bite your lip so hard it bleeds. It doesn’t take long after that, vision going blurry and somehow too sharp, and the buzz in your ears goes deafening.

His name comes out of your mouth, you make sure of it. Terrified of what else you might say in its place. A list of confessions he always seems to drag out of you.

Ortega comes while your still shaking. Grinding close and whispers sweet things into your ear about how beautiful you are, how perfect, how much he loves you.

You don’t respond. Not that you need to bother with replying since Ortega is too far gone, still leaving a trail of open mouthed kisses along your neck as he tries to catch his breath.

When your clothes are back in place you’ll accept his kiss before you leave. Not letting him hold you but not being too obvious you’re running away. You aren’t. It’s simply a retreat. Not even that. Mission accomplished. You distracted him.

You’ll pretend you aren’t distracted too.

[TRANSLATION] haru ✿ hana vol.30 May 2015 issue x GOT7

Translated BY: @fuckboytuan

Q: GOT7’s second single that has been receiving a lot of attention; “Love Train” has a strong summer concept!

JS: It’s a really charming summer song!

JB: The rhythm of the song is good and the dance is intense~ also please remember to keep a look out for our facial expressions at the end (laughs)

Junior: Some parts of the choreography were suggested by Yugyeom. One example would be the chorus

YG: Even though I came out with a lot of suggestions, not everything is done by me~ (shy). I did it with the other members and our dancer teacher who came together to discuss it together before incorporating them.

BB: Without Yugyeom we would not have this choreography! ~

YG: Thank you. There’s a part in the choreography in which we are running; portraying a moving train and us showing our love to Igot7. The choreography also includes a lot of jumping and moving.

YJ: There’s a key point in the dance. Forming an L shape with your hands while dancing which is very simple to learn. We hope everyone would do it together with us

Mark: There’s a scene in the MV that I really like –the one where we form a train. All I need to do is to stand at the back, it’s very relaxing (laughs)

BB: Everyone who watched the MV said that part left the biggest impression. It’s very cute

Junior: The beginning of song is like a movie as it starts off with the “Bang Bang” sound. Some people might pass it off as nothing but after watching the MV they would realise it’s not merely a song if you take all the aspects of the MV like the dance and the clothes – if you could look at it as a work like that, I would be very happy

Q: Has the performance reached the stage of perfection?

Mark: Of course

JB: We would be with the fans when we are performing on stage so I would work ever harder to make sure I don’t make any mistakes (laugh)

Q: On the topic “Love Train”, please talk about some of your experience.

BB: I only took the train twice so I don’t have much experience to share.

JS: I do! I took the train to school a lot back in Hong Kong. I was able to recognise everyone who took the train after a year because it was always the same few people. I wanted to ask about their day so I sat beside them and asked “Hi, How have you been?” but got ignored instead (laugh)

All: LOL

JS: I had a very formal hairstyle during that time. Thinking about it today, I want to know the reaction of the old uncle and this student who looked like the same age as me who I always met on the train. I encourage everyone to take the initiative to say hi even if we get ignored, it would still be a good memory. After that incident, I never took the train at that timing again (laugh)

Q: That’s really sad… Moving on, the next question is lyrics related. The lyrics is very direct in showing interest in the girl that you like. Are any of you the same as the guy in the lyrics?

YG: I would be very direct and tell the girl “I like you” if I like her

YJ: Woah Woah~ Yugyeom is very amazing~ I would not confess my feelings to her unless she does it first

Junior: I won’t confess to her first because I want to treasure the “heart-pounding” moments

Q: Talking about the lyrics “like an electric current bzz bzz*”, have you had any “love at first sight” or related experience recently?

Mark: Er, I can’t think of any…

BB: Recently at the filming set I placed my cup noodles on the table. At the exact moment when I was going to eat the noodles someone said to me “Ok, let’s continue~”. I felt a current flow through me. I didn’t get to eat the noodles in the end (laugh) < (wtf bam?)

JB: For me it’s water. Although it’s not love at first sight, I have been drinking water a lot due to my throat condition

JS: Lying on bed after a fresh warm shower “Ah~”, that feeling.

Junior: Japan’s milk coffee

YJ: Same for me! The mix of the two has an exquisite taste.

YG: For me it’s Japans Lemon Tea. The packaging for it is something that can’t be found in Korea. After coming to Japan, lemon tea has replaced water for me

Q: what about things that you can’t stop doing once you start?

YJ: Game! (Laugh) I like RPG games! I would only play after I’m done with the schedule for the day.

Mark: For me it’s also game. But I don’t play it anymore because we have to sleep at night

JS: Eating! Especially when I’m on diet, I can’t stop eating once I start

BB: For me it’s Coke. I would drink a cup when I wake up even though I know I should stop. There were days where all I drank was coke.

YG: For me, once I rest, I wouldn’t want to work again. Sleeping, watching TV and snacking at the dorm, I like to be idle (laughs)

Junior: I like to be by myself. Although it can be lonely to be the only one at the dorm, I like it. I like to read and watch movies and think about everything

JB: for me I like to “think about things”. I like to think about the future before I sleep and once I start, it’s hard for me to stop myself.

Q: Has there been any “Heartbeat can’t stop racing” moments?

YG: There’s a song that I listened to a lot during my middle school days - Busker Busker’s Cherry Blossom Ending. Recently I’ve started listening to it again. It reminds me of my middle school days, the image of the flowers blooming and the wind blowing against the petals that make it look like they’re dancing.

YJ: When I defeat the boss in game (laughs)

Mark: when I manage to upgrade my items in game (laughs)

JB: For me it’s when I’m studying.

Junior: When I’m filming for my drama, my heart beats very fast because I’m nervous

Jackson: When we’re standing on stage and listening to the cheers from the fans. Recently the impact is stronger

BB: During the Thai Fan meeting when we revealed our bodies, the reaction from the fans was very intense (laughs)

JB: it wasn't trained it was performed using special skill (laughs)

BB: he used the easy sly way, he applied oil (laughs)

Q: Got7 will hold a fan meeting during June.

YG: The last time we met the fans was during Christmas~ I’m very excited to see them again!

Junior: Communicating with fans is very important as it is going to be a fan meeting. Hence we are working very hard to learn Japanese to communicate with our fans

JB: I’m more curious about how everyone would react to “Love Train”. Besides that, I’m also looking forward to how the fans will think about the special performance we have prepared for them.

BB: I’m very excited thinking about spending time with the fans as we have not seen them in a long time! The special performance is still a secret

GOT7 Psychology Test Check!

Q: You and a certain member are sitting on a train. Assuming the train is empty, what’s the sitting arrangement? Please fill in the answers for 1~4 with a member’s name.

1. The one sitting on your left

2. The one sitting on your right

3. The one standing in front of you when you’re sitting alone

4. The one you would stand together with

Answers:

1. You are leading this person

2. This person is more dominant. This person’s leadership is very strong and you like this person a lot and will do everything you can to help this person.

3. There’s a very strong between the both of you two. Can be said that you two rely on each other a lot

4. There’s a mutual understanding and respect between each other. The both of you will continue to support each other in the future

JB: The 7 of us has mutual understanding and respect for each other

1/2/3: No one

4: BB, Jackson, Mark, Junior, Youngjae, Yugyeom

His answer was for all member to stand together. “Everyone has a different view but we would still respect each other’s views”, as expected of the leader!

Mark: I will not be guided by Jackson

1: Yugyeom

2: Jackson

3: Junior, JB

4: Bambam, Youngjae

Bambam described Mark as the one that “leads the other members because he is the oldest”. It does not seem like it from the test results!?

Jackson: I didn’t forget to answer~ they are my original answers

1: JB

2: Bambam

3: Yugyeom

4: Junior, Mark

5: Youngjae

JS: “must we write down the names of all members…?” Jackson wrote down all the names in a rush and forgot to include Youngjae. According to him, number 5 is someone you have a special connection with!

Junior: Woah~ the results for this aren’t that bad! Is this accurate?

1: Jackson

2: JB, Yugyeom

3: Mark, Bambam

4: Youngjae

Junior answered this using a drawing. “There is no such relationship (being leaded/ being the leader) like this among us”

Youngjae: Jackson hyung, you’re really mean~

1: JB, Mark

2: Yugyeom

3: Jackson, Bambam

4: Junior

When writing down the answers for the people you trust, Jackson hyung didn’t even write my name! – Angry Youngjae

Bambam: It seems like I’m leading Yugyeom (laughs)

1: Yugyeom, Mark

2: Jackson, Youngjae

3: Myself

4: JB, Junior

JB hyung and Junior hyung will stand together on the train is the answer given by Bambam “Because the both of them know each other the longest, they will continue to support each other in the future”

Yugyeom: I decide where I sit

1: No one

2: Mark, Bambam, Junior, Youngjae, JB, Jackson

3: No one

4: No one

Although this is a psychology test, Yugyeom wrote all the members as sitting at the right side because he likes to sit at the left side. However he is the maknae, so this result is considered accurate?

Q: Someone who doesn’t take the train at all!? Jackson’s answer made everyone laughed

JB: Let’s reveal our answers, starting with Bambam

BB: Sitting on my left is Yugyeom and Mark. Does this mean I’m leading Yugyeom? (laughs) Sitting on my right is Jackson and Youngjae

YJ: Oh Oh!

BB: I guess they’re leading me since they are hyungs. 3rd question… Since the answer is myself, I guess that means I have trust issues (laughs). 4th question is JB hyung and Junior hyung. The both of them have already been together when I arrived in Korea. Because they know each other for the longest time, it’s confirmed that they will continue to support each other in the future

JS: Sitting on my left is JB hyung

JB: I’m being leaded by Jackson!?

JS: In my opinion, this has no scientific basis at all. I feel like it isn’t accurate

JB: I also feel the same way (laughs)

YJ: Ah! Why isn’t my name there!

JS: Ah…! ////writes down a name in a rush/// Number 5 is my creation. It means my most treasured brother

All: //laughs

YJ: you’re lying~!! (laughs)

Q: The real leader of the group is…?

Mark: I also feel that this test isn’t accurate…

JS: I’m not the one leading Mark hyung. Mark hyung is the one leading me. I’ve always been listening to him (laughs)

YG: Mark hyung is the one leading me, this one is accurate right?

Mark: Is it true?

BB: Mat hyung Mark hyung is the one that leads us

All: //laughs//

Junior: I’m more of a “my pace”, I won’t lead anyone and they won’t lead me. We all have mutual trust and understanding among all of us. It seems like this test isn’t accurate

JB: I chose everyone to be at number 4. Although all members have different opinions, we try our best to compromise for each other. I guess the part where they said we have mutual respect for each other is accurate

YJ: I wrote JB hyung and Mark hyung for 1st question. Am I leading the both of them? And I’m also being led by Yugyeom? (Laughs)

YG: HAHAHAHAHAHHA

YJ: I wrote Junior hyung for the 4th question. The both of us wrote the same answer for this question! For the person that I rely on – question 3- I wrote Jackson hyung but he didn’t even write my name down. How lonely… (Laughs)

JS: Number 5 is special!

YG: I wrote everyone’s name down for question 2. Everyone is leading me~

JB: this is accurate. Everyone is leading Yugyeom (Laughs)

YG: It’s only because I want to sit on the left side that’s why I wrote my answers like that!

Got7 Twitter Q&A

Haru Hana collected questions from twitter for the members to answer!

Q: having debut at such a young age, there are bound so be some difficulties. How does got7 overcome them?

JS: I will talk to others about my problem

JB: I'll settle my problems by myself

Mark: I'm the same as JB, I'll settle my problems by myself

JB: when the members face similar difficulties, we will come together to solve it. However if it's a personal problem, I'll solve it by myself

JS: even if it's a personal problem, I'll discuss it with the other members. I'll tell the members about my personal questions and everyone will share.

JB: even though I will find the others to discuss about problems, I am the leader after all. Hence I would not tell others about my problems easily

Q: What did you guys do on breaks during tour?

YJ: Firstly, It's eating. I ate too much by accident because the food in Japan is really delicious. I'll chat with the members when we are eating. An hour before the performance, we will do throat exercises

Junior: I'll do throat exercise and practice our songs

Mark: if you watched GOT7 ATW DVD you would know (laughs)

JB: if you say it like this then I have nothing to say~

Mark: everyone please check from the DVD~

Q: Favorite song by got7?

YJ: I like GGG. I like hip hop songs and I like the rhythm of it too

Junior: for me it's SSI. Out of all the songs by JYPE this is my favorite. The instruments used to produce the "Hajima~" part is very addictive; it keeps ringing in my ear

JS: For me it's "Love Train" La la la la love train ~

JB: I like "Forever Young"

YG: I like SSI as well but choosing from all our songs, I'll choose Stay

Q: what's the funniest thing that happened among the 7 of you?

YJ: Recently, Jackson hyung jokingly said he's Michael Jordan

YG: There was once where Jackson hyung, Bambam and I were having fun playing at my house with all the lights off with the music playing from the TV. Jackson hyung was singing while making scary faces his face was really funny! After that, Youngjae hyung joined in as well! 😂

Mark: Confessor. Man should always be the one who confess first

JS: Confessor. I want to be the one who confess

Junior: Confessor. Because I’m a guy?

YJ: Be confessed to. I’m a bit of a coward regarding things like this… (Laughs)

BB: Confessor. I must be the one who confess first! Because I’m the guy!

YG: Confessor. I’m the type who dares to do anything so I think I’ll be the one who confess

【I’ll talk to the members when I have troubles】

Q: Yes or No?

Mark: Yes. Recently, I’m starting to talk to the other members about my problems

YJ: Get scared together. Honestly, I will be scared too

BB: Pretend not to be scared. Even if I’m scared I have to pretend that I’m not

YG: Pretend not to be scared. I’m not scared of haunted house

【When a girl cries】

Q: Make her smile or Comfort her quietly?

JB: Comfort her quietly. Trying to make her smile might have a reverse effect sometimes.

Mark: Comfort her quietly as it’s more like me to do this

JS: Make her smile. I’ll comfort her and make her smile at the same time

Junior: Make her smile. I want to encourage her by telling her not to fret over small stuff

YJ: Both. Assuming she cries, I would wipe her tears first

BB: Comfort her quietly. Trying to make her smile might make her angry instead

YG: Both. If you can succeed doing both it would be very cool!

【Differences in preference for food】

Q: Eat what you want or Suit others?

JB: Eat what I want. When we can’t decide what to eat we would just eat what we want.

Mark: Eat what I want. I’ll buy what I want to eat by myself.

JS: Suit others. I’ve always been very accommodating to others (Laugh)

Junior: Suit others because we are a team!

YJ: Eat what I want. I think it’s good to have a variety of items to choose from (he means for the members to share food)

BB: Eat what I want. I think it’s better for us to eat what we want.

YG: Eat what I want. It’s best for us to eat what we want (Laughs)

【Sport event】

Q: Soccer or Baseball?

JB: Baseball. I know soccer is very interesting but I would like to know more about baseball

Mark: Soccer. I prefer soccer compared to baseball as there’s more action

JS: Soccer. I like it even though I’m not very good at it!

Junior: Soccer. I really like soccer

BB: Soccer because I don’t know how baseball works

YG: Soccer because it’s more interesting

【What do you wish for your date to wear】

Q: Dress or Skinny Jeans?

JB: Dress. Because it looks cute and lovely during spring

Mark: Skinny Jeans. As compared to dress, I think skinny jeans is better

JS: Skinny Jeans. I like my date to wear something more vibrant/energetic

Junior: Dress. It looks very pure

YJ: Dress. I think a girl looks prettier in a dress

BB: Skinny Jeans. Wearing skinny jeans looks healthier I like it

YG: Both. It doesn’t matter what she wears as long as I like her

HIGHLIGHT:

When answering about the member’s habits, Bambam and Yugyeom begin to imitate the member’s actions. The both of them were very focused on doing it and the hyungs said “We can see what you’re doing~!” when they appeared. The Maknaes immediately stopped and said “Oh nothing~!” (Laughs)

We’re Back! A Dinosaur’s Story

Welcome to the 'highglossfinish' room. Jalaperilo: yo! Knock Out: Hello there! Jalaperilo: been a while since i dropped by Jalaperilo: omg, I was JUST listening to Sawbones! Knock Out: But how good to have you! Jalaperilo: find the clip where justin looses it when sydnee uses the word 'exquisit' in medical terminology Knock Out: Do you have a link by any chance? Jalaperilo: Sawbones. If you wanna be disguisted by human medical history, its the go to podcast thenightetc: Fun fact, it creeps me the hell out when someone keeps saying my name. Jalaperilo: hahah Knock Out: I love the sound of my own name, but that's just me and anything pertaining to myself.

thenightetc: ...Okay, this IS pretty funny Jalaperilo: I'm with thenight. it annoys me if i hear my name too much Jalaperilo: it means people want things from me thenightetc: Yeah. thenightetc: It's... smarmy. thenightetc: In the worst way. Jalaperilo: yup thenightetc: So what are we watching? Good movie or movie to mock? Knock Out: Pure mockery! Jalaperilo: julia child?? Knock Out: Oh yes. Jalaperilo: nice thenightetc: Oh, boy! thenightetc: *could do with some mocking after today* thenightetc: Worms aren't that elastic Jalaperilo: birds also dont have quiffs thenightetc: ...Is this... a sequel? Knock Out: No, thankfully. Knock Out: "Yes. But technically speaking, ain't you?" thenightetc: Haha, did they give the t-rex herbivore teeth? Jalaperilo: true Jalaperilo: did they come from dinosaurs or just pteradons? Knock Out: Oh, pterosaurs aren't dinosaurs. Breakdown is adamant on that one. Jalaperilo: pteranodon* Jalaperilo: i know Jalaperilo: i didt know if birds came from dinosaurs or just pteranodons Knock Out: That's another thing this movie likes to drive home. Some organics eat meat and that's terrible. thenightetc: Only if the meat has a face! Which, uh, in this movie apparently it does, going by the worm and the fish. Knock Out: Oh! They came from dinosaurs, apparently. thenightetc: oh my god thenightetc: What--what's in that stuff Knock Out: Nothing good. Jalaperilo: if only it was that easy to make Grimlock docile lol Knock Out: If someone did that to Grimlock, I'm fairly sure it would constitute a crime. thenightetc: Ahhhh, so it's okay to eat meat that somebody ELSE killed. Knock Out: But not okay to be a massive animal and step on things by accident. Jalaperilo: people need to remember that its ok to decide to not eat meat, but it WAS the reason we evolved to be so cognizent as a species Jalaperilo: no its not Knock Out: Smart enough to make up their own minds, but not smart enough to know what lunch is. Knock Out: Or what children are. thenightetc: This, uh, seems very morally dubious. thenightetc: Just go ahead and create some people because some kids want to meet them Knock Out: Why create some people when you can kidnap them? thenightetc: Wellllll, they were just animals before. He made them INTO people. Zephra85: OMG I saw the description on the tumblr post and and immedietely knew Zephra85: 'OMG WE'RE BACK' Zephra85: Also hi everyone! Knock Out: Welcome to the disaster, Zephra human! thenightetc: Hi! Jalaperilo: yo yo Zephra85: I was obsessed with this movie a sa child thenightetc: That seems like an incredibly extra way to make a sandwich Zephra85: go big or go home thenightetc: Oh, yeah, just stick your hand right in his mouth. It's safe! Jalaperilo: I had never heard of this until like 20 minutes ago Knock Out: Smart enough to handle this, remember. thenightetc: Honestly, he's lucky he didn't just drive straight into the river... ocean? Lusey: -peeks in- Knock Out: Hello there! Zephra85: Yo Lusey: hello! this movie is so dumb I love it Zephra85: The 90's had a lot of scenes with kids handling construction cranes Lusey: he's not even a t-rex thenightetc: EXHIBIT?! Jalaperilo: there she is! thenightetc: exCUSE me? Lusey: they gonna kill and stuff 'em Zephra85: Yes because this is clearly less conspicuous Lusey: "hey babe" I wish I had this kid's confidence wtf thenightetc: wtf indeed Jalaperilo: what was it about the 80's and 90's where it was a streetwise orphan boy and the red head up town girl? Zephra85: objectively this movie is probably bad but I have so much love and nostalgia for it idgaf thenightetc: Jesus christ, that place is huge. They must be freakin millionaires Lusey: yup Lusey: but yeah this movie sucks but the last villain scene is spooky Zephra85: oh god seriously Lusey: wont say why or how but Lusey: hoo boy Lusey: it made up for so much Zephra85: it's so subtle but holy *** it's wild at the same time thenightetc: oh yeah, nobody'lll notice THAT Zephra85: things like this can only happen in New York 'cause they're so jadded Knock Out: Eugh. thenightetc: oh my god thenightetc: Why this Jalaperilo: way too young to be a debutante Zephra85: they got things to do and places to go they can't let bs like dinosaurs or aliens get in their way Lusey: what's that parent's problem Knock Out: You should wish for less rats in the subway, little human. Lusey: that child is like 5 and you ruined her life Zephra85: parenting at its finest Zephra85: Having fun with human tech and connections, Knock Out? Knock Out: Endless fun. Knock Out: Hmm, is the picture quality suffering too much? Lusey: see wtf lady Lusey: let her believe thenightetc: Nah, it's fine thenightetc: oh nO Lusey: that's right Lusey: musical thenightetc: I wasn't prepared thenightetc: "things to chew" kinda sounds like he wants to eat everyone Knock Out: Killing spree ending, just once! Zephra85: (jams out 'cause f*** it all she loves this song) thenightetc: Well, there WAS Little Shop of Horrors. Knock Out: Hmm, true. Knock Out: SMART. ENOUGH. TO HANDLE THIS. thenightetc: ...And there he goes explicitly saying he wants to eat a human Lusey: I think he's implying they'd be gross. but still haha Lusey: seriously who'd run away from TALKING dinosaurs thenightetc: "that's the guy who was foreshadowed!" Jalaperilo: bring back julia child Jalaperilo: lost my green Lusey: I think I gotta head out actually. connection is shot on my end. but enjoy bad dinos Knock Out: An attempt will be made. Have a good night! Zephra85: Bye! Jalaperilo: I'm heading out as well. Its 2am here and I have to be up at 9 thenightetc: Goodnight! Knock Out: Goodnight! Jalaperilo: nighty night Night! Zephra85: 'Nigh! Zephra85: *night Zephra85: man that little girl and her mom get around FAST Zephra85: also the mom's recovered rather well from her freak out before Knock Out: Scrap. So close. thenightetc: "Keep coming or maybe stay away" thenightetc: Dontgonearthe Castle thenightetc: No, idiot, they just left because they're adults and didn't feel like beating up a twelve-year-old thenightetc: Hahahahha thenightetc: Crushing their stupid dreams thenightetc: Is he literally the devil Knock Out: This is normal. thenightetc: Oh, totally Zephra85: not suspecious at all nope thenightetc: Why did SHE sign it Knock Out: "Naughty boys delight" Zephra85: Bah looks like I gotta ditch too, the bf wants the good laptop thenightetc: Pffff, minors can't sign contracts. thenightetc: Though, I guess he's the devil, so Zephra85: 'Night everybody! Thanks for the stream, Knock Out! Knock Out: Goodnight! Glad you could pop in! Zephra85: Oh, and since Breakdown never checks his tumblr anymore, can you tell him happy birthday for me? Knock Out: Will do! Zephra85: Alrighty I'm gone ENJOY CREEPY CIRCUS DINOSAURS GUYS Knock Out: Looks like it's just you and me, night human. thenightetc: I guess that guy's actions make a little more sense in light of the news that he's the devil's brother. Knock Out: This one seems slightly more invested in whether dinosaurs live or die. Knock Out: If only from a business perspective. thenightetc: This got creepy fast, though Knock Out: What disturbs me is that they don't seem willing or able to just grab the children and run. Knock Out: Wasn't that literally the point of A Clockwork Orange? thenightetc: Yes, I mean, maybe they're too squeamish for fresh meat now, but... thenightetc: Seems like they could also grab the contract and destroy it. Knock Out: They're barely intelligent enough to function and physically incapable of defying rules. What could possibly go wrong? thenightetc: Nothing, clearly. Knock Out: I can see why the "legitimate circus" fired him. thenightetc: "Evil" Knock Out: Nice of him to let them stick around for pancakes, though. thenightetc: "oh no, consequences!" Knock Out: "And that's terrible for some reason." thenightetc: Oh, so he IS using some real demons. I was going to say. Knock Out: They can't seem to decide whether he's using real demons or if the fact that he isn't using real demons is bad. thenightetc: I guess it's a mix? Knock Out: Apparently. thenightetc: Real demons, and poor saps who were dumb enough to sign contracts with Literally The Devil. thenightetc: Not reassuring! Knock Out: Now see, this would have made more sense with that whole deleted chunk about a crow pecking out his eye. thenightetc: Why is everyone freaking out and trying to run, though? It's clearly a show. Knock Out: The humans in this movie have proved to be overexcitable. thenightetc: Aw, c'mon, what would eating this guy ruin. thenightetc: What if he just ate his arm or something; he can live without that. Knock Out: Just bite off his shins. thenightetc: Little bit off the top. Knock Out: He'll never miss it. thenightetc: And neither will anyone else. Nickel: Ooh. Not a bad lookin' ship, there. Knock Out: Such a waste of a good ship. thenightetc: Why this Knock Out: You are infants. Nickel: õ-õ Nickel: ô_ô Knock Out: Spoiler alert: We never learn what the surprise was. thenightetc: ô_ô indeed. Nickel: I'm not sure I want to... Knock Out: Why didn't he do this ages ago and get a job at a circus where his act will actually fit in? thenightetc: Who knows? thenightetc: ...Did HE not have a magical contract? thenightetc: WELL then. Nickel: Well, now I know the humans have their own version of scraplets... Knock Out: Julia Child, you ruined everything. Stop talking. thenightetc: Something about "reveal the miracle of yourselves" doesn't sound right. Nickel: KID. GET BACK BEHIND THE ROPES. THEYRE THERE FER A REASON Knock Out: Dear Unicron. thenightetc: ... Nickel: what blatant disregard fa boundaries. Knock Out: Crowd a room with children and teach them to keep secrets from their parents. Knock Out: Without ever changing outfits. Nickel: Who took all of those pictures. thenightetc: The devil's brother? Knock Out: The old man on the ship. The families don't know about them. thenightetc: That was a trip from start to finish. Nickel: I'd apologize fa comin in so late, but I feel like I really dodged a bullet, there. Knock Out: You have no idea. Knock Out: Why couldn't we have had this version of the song? Nickel: they had ta save tha best bit fa last, I suppose? Knock Out: Point. Nickel: I know I just got here, but I needa run a quick errand. Are ya endin' things here, Doc? or do ya have more plans? Knock Out: I think we'll wrap it up here for tonight. Patient reports beckon, sadly. Nickel: Lord almighty, I feel ya. thenightetc: Awww. Well, it was fun! Thanks for the stream. :) Knock Out: Thank you for the commentary! Nickel: Thanks indeed. (-w-) Knock Out: Good night, everyone! thenightetc: Goodnight!

CHECK OUT

Short Story 03

-Inspired on true events-

Los Angeles, California.

And the police never came. The girls were scared to death at first, but cried for laughter the minute they knew what really happened.

It was April, season were California becomes the spotlight for music lovers. Where influencers, instagramers and any other type of millennial celebrity chooses their best hippie-chic outfit to go take selfies in Coachella and dance to the most mainstream music. A time to inhale cheerful vibes, when the summer gives it’s firsts steps making the weather perfect to enjoy an exciting three day festival. By that time, while playing some local classics like The Doors, these two argentinian girls started their adventurous road trip through the routes of the West Coast. Since then, a bunch of exquisite moments come into being. As a friend once said:

“In the city of L.A In the city of good ol' Watts In the city, the city of Compton We keep it rockin”, California Love by 2pac.

But not all that glitters is gold... after days of having fun, drinking wine and attend to epic hip hop gigs, their last night in Los Angeles burst with a series of frightening unfortunate events.

Let’s start from the beginning of the end. The story is about two mid-twenties girls, who came from a land far, far away - well not that far, I meant to be poetic but Buenos Aires is just a couple of hours flight- to enjoy the dreamy city of Los Angeles. They rented an Airbnb in Fairfax District, located a few blocks from The Grove shopping mall, a pretty cool area actually. It was a big two bedroom apartment, luminous with big windows in the living room and an impeccable nice view. They were supposed to stay there until they flew back home. On saturday morning, they woke up early to seas the day, they had plans to spend some golden hours wandering around the outstanding Malibu beaches. Minutes before taking off, without another apparent reason more than a hunch, one of them took her phone to check the emails and saw a message from the apartment owner. It went something like this: “Girls, the cleaning lady is waiting for you to go so as to organize the apartment for our next guests. Let me know when you leave the keys on the front door. Thanks!”. When she read it, her face went pale and immediately took her iPhone calendar to check the dates. Her eyes wide opened as realizing she and her friend were completely wrong since it was scheduled to leave the flat that day. And they did it in a blitz.

No hesitations, they packed her stuff in a rush and left. Wherever they put foot a bad mood cloud could be seen from miles, angry with no other than themselves and carrying their entire lives in their bags, they went to have a matcha latte at Whole Foods. They couldn't even speak, not because they were mad at each other but due to the feeling of stupidity that surpassed them. While having mini pretzels they found a super nice apartment in an online renting web. It was located in the Beverlywood neighborhood next to Beverly Hills, it was kind of suspiciously cheap for the cool photos shown. With haste and without laps, after a simple click they had a place to spend the night.

Half an hour later they arrived to the direction given, still curiously nobody was there. The sun was burning the girls’ white skins during some eternal minutes as they waited for the owner to show. Suddenly, a peculiar woman in a black long dress, with suspicaz look in her eyes, appeared walking towards the place. Once next to the girls, while trying to open the building door, slowly turned her head towards them and asked:

Resting bitch-face lady: “Who are you waiting for?”

The brunette girl: “The apartment owner”

Resting bitch-face lady: “Why? are you moving here?”

The blonde girl: “No, we are staying just for the night”

Abysmal resting bitch-face lady: “Airbnb is prohibited here. You are not staying, I’m calling the police”, she added as she crossed the door and slammed it in their faces.

They were stunned, speechless, without knowing what to think more than that something very strange was going on. The street was empty, so empty that the girls could listen loudly to their own anxious heavy breathings. Okay, not that empty, they saw a man who walked twice in the same block and watched them every time he passed by. After two or three deep sighs, when about to leave, a mid thirties man came from around the corner calling her names. Looked like a regular guy, with kind of geeky vibes and weird from the top to the bottom beige clothing.

Nerd looking guy: “Hi, sorry for the delay”

-Received no answer from the other side-

Nerd looking guy: “I gave you the wrong address, i’m so sorry for that too. The apartment is a few blocks from here, we can walk… let me help you with the baggage”.

The argentinians with the worst and coldest look: “You gave us the wrong address? How come!? Uhmm That’s weird”.

He gave a shitty explanation on how the community manager working for them got it all wrong and messed up with the direction. The girls did not believe it so easily, but they were so tired that agreed to go with him, leaving the situation to God’s will.

Within a 5 minute walk, not a soul in the streets, they arrived to a small building. The guy who couldn’t stop talking about unimportant stuff, lead the girls in to their apartment. Detail by detail he explained every little thing about the place. No words heard from them, their attention quickly dispersed wishing for him to finally stop talking. A while later he miraculously ended and after exchanging phone numbers, for the relief of the girls, he finally left. To make the situation more weird, while unpacking, they saw labels in all the furniture like if they were recently bought, like if no one would’ve ever step foot in the place... A lot of terrible things crossed their minds, what if this place did not existed before? Is not an Airbnb at all? Just a place dressed up like a sweet home but meant to kidnap innocent tourists?. “Haha that’s too much”, said one of the girls laughing. Even though knowing they were maybe embellishing the situation, genuinely dramatic, they did not want to stay much longer and went off to the beach with one song on repeat in their minds:

"All I am is a man

I want the world in my hands

I hate the beach

But I stand in California with my toes in the sand", Sweater Weather by The Neighbourhood.

It was too late then, so instead of going to Malibú, they spent a not so chilling time in Santa Mónica. The peer was disappointing, dirty and invaded with cheesy tourists carrying their big cameras with cheap lenses. What made it worst, they saw how a man was having heavy convulsions on the floor, yelling the names of dead historic hip hop artists (Yeah, WTF). And what did make it even worse, there was a man standing like a statue staring at this ‘crazy’ screaming dude, and who he was you may wonder? The same who passed by a couple of times, watching them back in Beverlywood. Gave them the creeps!

They got back around 7pm, the sun was about to vanish when one of the girls said: “I need red wine, a whole bottle”... And that’s how the second part of the thrilling adventure begun. Once again, the neighborhood was weirdly empty, block by block everything seemed to be dead and that desired red was nowhere to find. A whole hour of intensely and almost desperately searching passed as quickly as the blink of an eye. Whilst the alcohol detectives were in duty, a glorious super small and almost hidden liquor store appeared. They got the wine, but spoiler alert: the happy beam in their faces did not last long.

Both ran out of battery, no phones meant no maps… no maps meant: “How the hell are we going to find our way back to the apartment?”. One of the girls shook her head and said: “Don´t worry, it’s easy, I think I remember”. The sun came down completely as they walked in circles for half an hour. How to describe the desperation that was growing inside of them, like a fire in the stomach mixed with deep cold sweat rolling down the neck, symptoms that combined nervousness and fear. But please, stop crying your heart out, the solution was about to come. For second time, the sky opened and a spotlight went down to show them the glorious solution: A Starbucks Coffee to charge their iPhones. Of course, due to the time, it was closing its doors. Like cry babies they asked for the biggest and life savior favor, simply to open the door and give them some energy. And so it happened. “Thank you super handsome Thor for showing us the path”, they prayed. The phone turned on and the route magically showed up.

Finally they arrived, breathless, with the feeling of being followed, but safe and sound. Although this sounded mega exhausting, just wait to read what happened next.

Saturday, around 9pm, the girls started packing the luggage as they were leaving early in the morning. Tired? Nah… They were definitely going out, nothing could ruined their last night in the city of angels. They had plans to meet up with some local friends at the indie-cool club named Tenants of the Trees at around 11pm. Also, above important, it was their last dinner, what undoubtedly did they ordered? To be faithful to all the movies they ever saw in their lives, they called Domino’s Pizza.

Lana del Rey as background music, chilling vibes all over the place and a wine bottle waiting to be opened… one of the girls went to take a bath while the other was waiting for the double cheese non spicy pizza to come. As you can expect, this nice atmosphere did not last long, one more setback was around the corner. When the girl realized they had no corkscrews, she sighed annoyingly, took her phone and write to the owner asking if there was any bottle opener in the place, having no answer at all. She was determined to drink that damned red, so, she put some blue jeans on and went down the hallway to knock door by door, no matter what she was going to find or who was going to run into. It was a long dark hallway, it was impossible not to think of films like The Shining, for example. One, two, even three doors and nothing, there was cemetery silence. She kind of panicked a little because clearly there was nobody in the entire floor, they were all alone in a place they did not know, in a dim neighborhood and in an apartment that looked pretty much like taken out from The Truman Show. Run baby run, after having all that thoughts invading her head she looked around and rushed faster than ever.

When she got to the apartment, she locked the door and tried to shake off that odd sensation left in her body. By that moment, the doorbell rang so loud that made her jumped almost half a meter. "Domino's Pizza", a voice intoned. That simple phrase was like music to her ears, hunger won any other feeling she could had. That's how the hungry lady took the keys and ran downstairs. The main hall had a big glass door through from you could see the street, so the minute she got there, saw there was no pizza man at all. "Maybe he's in a car outside", naively said to herself. Once again, the goddamn hungry girl, went out alone to the street hoping to find that die for fast food. Oh boy! She was all alone again but this time outside in the darkness without her phone. She heard a crunchy noise in the corner, a couple of meters away, automatically she turned to see who or what it was. What do you think? Noup, not the delivery guy, it was the creepy guy again! The one that mysteriously appeared everywhere that day. He was in his middle 50s, had white hair, pale face, was a little chubby and looked like a Yeezy fan -Kanye West's clothing brand- because all of his clothes were ripped. Or maybe he was a homeless, a crackhead, something totally common to strike in L.A. Now she was truly scared, as he passed through her, she intended not to move or even breath. Unfortunately, the freakish stopped walking and stayed in her flat, to fan the flames, he had a bunch of keys in his hand with which he tried one by one to open the door. A tear rolled over the girl's cheek, over dazed she saw death. What to do? Well, she decided to act like nothing happened planning to get in to the place and not let him enter. Once she gave a step, the man put his gaze on her and asked with a peculiar and friendly voice: "Hi lady, do you live here?". The chat went something like this…

Scared girl: "No, I'm just waiting for my boyfriend". With deep fear in the tone she continued "You might know him, he goes by the name Harry Styles". (Lol just kidding, the Harry part did not happen).

Creepy guy: "Oh, cuz I'm looking for two friends… you maybe saw them. They are argentinians...Are you one of them?"

Super mega scared girl: (Swallows) "What? No, uhmm I'm from here, I definitely don't know what you are talking about and really, sir, I can't help you".

Even creepier guy: "Okay, they are in the third floor, apartment E, can you let me in? I need to get in".

WTF he knew exactly were they were staying, her mind went blank and had no words to say more than speak up her last wish. What would that be? Perhaps, let her eat the last pizza. Oh wait! Where was the pizza guy? Was even real that he came? Wondrously in that exact moment, he came into view, he was walking from inside the building. The girl's head almost exploded in a thousand pieces, how could that be possible. She approached the door, went pretty close to it so the second the delivery boy opened it she could enter speedy without letting the other one in. Clap, clap, clap, her plan succeed. She did not let the man in but did not let the pizza guy leave either. "Excuse me I have to go", Domino's said. "No please, that man outside is creeping the hell out of me, stay while I go for my phone and call the police", she begged. "Sorry I can’t, I have to deliver these pizzas and go home", not a bit kindly he replied. "Okay go, but give my pizza first", she ordered while he assured he had already delivered her stupid pizza. She grabbed the door and slammed it as hard as she could in the disturbing guy's nose, as he yelled to let him in with his fist hitting the glass.

An intense noise came about when the man broke the door, little sharp pieces spread all over like confetti in a piñata. Suspense classical music was playing from who knows where. She was already in the elevator, its door was about to close when a knife appeared to stop it with the intention of not letting it go. She closed her green eyes and counted to three. Once opened, the man was not there, the music was not on and the elevator was clear. She imagined the scene so vividly that genuinely thought it was real.

The elevator arrived to the third floor -Ding- it went as it swished opened. She ran into the apartment, locked the door and exclaimed: “Call 911!”. The place looked like a murder scene, her friend struggled to open the wine bottle hitting it from the bottom with a Nike sneaker. It worked yet not as expected, the cork came out yeah, but a huge amount of the liquid fell on the carpet leaving a stain that hinted like a bloodbath on the floor. On the top of everything, Domino’s Pizza was served on the table. Everything was so fucked up that she didn’t even dare to ask how on earth the delivery entered the building and went upstairs in a matter of seconds, without running into her. Total and completely mind blown. However, she focused on the actual problem: “There’s a guy, the one we saw a couple of times today, in the door asking for us… he wants to get in, he wants to kill us or rob or rape us. IDK call the police right now”, desperately cried. She could not finished talking when the doorbell started ringing incessantly. Deeply frightened, they looked at each other and screamed loudly. They knew they were alone in the entire place, so nobody would listen their crave for help. While the bell went on ringing, they called the police. “911 what’s your emergency”, the operator cinematographically went whilst her friend was thinking how to tell the story. “Just tell them there’s a crazy person threatening our lives”, the girl yelled to her friend, who did it with a trembling voice. Unluckily they hung up on them, twice in a row. Could this be worst? Definitely. The bell stopped, letting a deep uncomfortable silence posses the room. Suddenly footsteps and other messed up noises came from outside, like if the psycho was trying to get in by reaching the window. Still in shock, after shutting the curtains, with a knife in one hand they sat down on the floor to take another shot in calling the police. Can you believe they never answer nor came? Sadly astonishing.

“Let's think straight, maybe is your phone that’s not working so let’s make the call from mine. Or I can tell Ben (a local friend) to send help!”, she whispered. “Yeah but quiet please”, the blond one replied while nodding his head. So she silently crawled to the other room, unplugged the phone and when the screen went bright she saw a million messages coming from the apartment owner.

9:21 pm: “Hi, sorry we don’t have a corkscrew. Do you need it right now?”

9:35 pm: “Hey, do you still need it?”

9:40 pm: “Stay alert, I’m sending you one”.

9:50 pm: “Heeeeeey. Alfred is at the door, he has the corkscrew. Can you open him?”

9:51 pm: “Don’t worry, he is my partner… Are you in the apartment right now?”

10:21pm: “We don’t need it anymore, we went out for dinner… please tell him to leave”, the girl wrote after taking a relief breath.

She grabbed her head and called her friend, who went desperately running to see what was going on. Without any sound coming out from her mouth, she showed the messages and asked her if they should believe all this. Everything was so weird, the guy looked so strange… Why did they run into him several times that day? Why he did not say he had a corkscrew? Or even better question, why he did not have it when the girl saw him?

Despite the many ends to tie, they both calmed down and decided to ‘believe’ the owner, maybe they had no other choice, no friends or family close, no police to the rescue.

"Down on the West Coast they got a sayin. If you're not drinkin' then you're not playin', West Coast - Lana del Rey. Ergo, the only thing left to do, the only reasonable choice was to drink that problematic wine till it was over, eat the cold pizza, cried for laughter and go out till dawn. And so it be!

They left the next morning, joking about the mistaken situation, rejoicing at the great tragi-comic anecdote they could now tell everyone back home.

A week later, among a beautiful stormy grey morning in Buenos Aires, one of the girls was reading an online magazine when an article headline captured her attention. She numbed, as she took her hand to her mouth with surprise, the toast she was eating fell down on the side fully loaded of raspberry jam, Murphy's law of course. “Los Angeles, California: Two men arrested for robbery, sexual abuse and fraud”, followed by a picture of two terrifying men. Yes, of course, one was whom rented them the place and the other, the stalker.
