The Mark of Athena Review
Ok so once again i continue reading “The Heroes of Olympus” and once again i need to vent so Tadaaaaa !!
So before I start, here is a more general Review : I really REALLY liked this book. Favorite of the serie so far. Also, obviously, SPOILERS !!
THINGS I DIDNT LIKE :
- The role of Frank : I can maybe forgive that, because with 7 main characters i understand it’s difficult to give them all an important role in one single book. But I really loved him in “The Son of Neptune” and I really wanted to see more of him, and the most of what we got was him being the Jealous Boyfriend. It was kind of disappointing so I hope it’ll change in the next books.
- Piper : it costs me a lot to put her there because I really really loved her in “The Lost Hero” but I have to admit I didn’t like one single chapter of hers in “The Mark of Athena”. Or at least not completely. In the first book there was the relationship with her dad, her culture, her dealing with the fact she was an Aphrodite children, the begining of a friendship with Annabeth and Leo... But in this book ? It’s only about Jason. Endlessly. And it’s so tiring and eyeroll worthy, especially when we compare her “issues” over JASON with the others’. And even without that, she was really not a great person in this book and not in the interesting way : she was ready to put the whole World in danger just so Jason wouldnt stay in New Rome, kept Charming Up her friends just for convenience (like srsly i know thats not supposed to be a Big Deal but thats still mind control so yikes), and when it came down to it, no matter what she said about how Leo is like her little brother or Annabeth is her BFF, she only gave a crap about Jason Jason Jason...There was barely a scene of her with the other two. And I find it frustrasting that it didn’t even feel like the plot during her chapters were about her, but more about Jason and her being a support for him, even though they were HER chapters !!
- Jasiper : Well I guess that’s not really a surprise lol. I never liked this pairing and this book didn’t change my mind on that at all. Piper keeps clinging to the three months THAT NEVER HAPPENED (and that apparently weren’t faithful to Jason’s character like srsly is she even really in love with HIM or the idea of him she had in her mind ?) instead of the 8 real months they spent together, thinks it’s a miracle when Jason appologizes (he’s a real catch huh ?) and is so so sure he’ll leave her to go to New Rome which first : wow you really have faith in this relationship huh ? But also second : why is this such a Big Deal ?? Even if he did go to New Rome she could still follow him (she made it pretty clear she’d leave all of her friends in Camp Half Blood to be with him), it’s not like he’s a whole new different person when he’s there !! And my baby Reyna was so hurt by that, like Jason was a reall asshole here, even if he was oblivious and didn’t realize her feelings for him she’s still supposed to be his friend and the first thing he asks after 8 months of disappearing is if he can spend alone time with his gf ? And I found it kind of frustrating that in the end, all the others left on their own to do their own things (yk, to save the fucking world ?) while literaly risking their life and Jasiper just...went on a date. Like seriously ? So yeah. Not a fan.
- The whole Frank x Leo “rivalery” : Why make another older character be attracted to 13 years old ?? Can you stop that ??? Leo could also be a real ass sometimes, even tho I still love him and Frank well...I already talked about that. This book had enough pissing contests between guys as it is.
- Percy apparently forgetting all the Hercules stuff he learned in “The Titan Curse”. I know it might not seem like THAT much of a deal but it was a really important thing for his character ? That he learned how Heroes, especially Hercules, were real assholes too and that he had to learn to not be like them ? That Zoe, his friend who sacrificiced herself to save the world, was treated like shit by this guy but now he was still like “omg this is Hercules I SO want to meet this guy he seems great !!” ???. It was just one sentence but I hated it.
- The focus on the Romantic relationships. Look I have nothing against romance and ships. I love romantic love in stories !! But I also love friendships and I really wish this book would have given us more of that instead of spending so much time on romantic relationships. I mean it is pretty well illustrated in the end of the book when they all separate : all the groups are romantic pairings. Percabeth, Jiper, and Frazel with Leo who has kind of a crush on Hazel. And as much as I love Frazel and Percabeth, where are the friendships ?? Percy and Jason’s relationship was supposed to be very important in this book so why didn’t we see more of that ?? What about the friendships that were already established like Percy with Frank and Hazel, Leo with Piper and Jason, Piper and Anabeth,...And all the new friendships that could have had more screen time like Annabeth and Frank or something !! So yeah that was disappointing.
THINGS I LOVED :
- the River God scene. Ok so yes I kind of lied : I enjoyed this chapter of Piper. Well this scene at least. And only kind off, because it is still a Jasiper moment but anyway. In my last review of “the Son of Neptune”, I mentionned how it always annoyed me that the heroes have a habit of always making the Good Moral Decision, without any hesitation, even if the fate of the world is in the balance. I was like “Give me morally conflicted characters damn it” !! And that’s what I got here. Piper having to lie to the God, taking his horn that was so important to him, even tho he was just a very tragic dude, to save Jason and the World, realizing that even if it is bad and she feels like shit after doing it, she still had to do it...YES !!! THANK YOU !! I LOVED THAT !!!
- The LEO X NICO INTERACTIONS !!!!!! After spending 2 books shipping them (they’d fit so well together i will die on this hill) they finally talked !!! Well once, and about the fact that Percabeth just fell into fucking Tartarus but like !!! TALKING !!!! And the first thing Nico tell him is to reassure him <3 (look I know it won’t be canon but the POTIENTIAL!!!)
- Annabeth’s chapters. I can’t imagine anyone who wouldn’t like them like we finally got her point of view people !!! And it was awesome !!! I loved seeing her on a quest, the way she thinks and sees the world, how she uses her intelligence,... Like she’s so brave and smart but also so sentimental even tho she’d never admit it (like getting emo about having lost the white hair because it was a connection with Percy ? My baby is so fucking precious). And obviously we already knew that but to actually be in her head ??? It was so fucking good !! And it really succeeded to make me feel so much for her, like she’s just a kid and her mother literaly sent her to her death and she was so scared but she still kept going (only to end up in Tartarus WHYYYYYY) and I’m so proud of her. I love this character so much !!
- Percabeth : The reunion !!!! FINALLY !!!! That’s my first ever OTP right there and they’re so in love !! They’re such a badass power couple and they love eachother so fucking much !! God i missed them X( I loved every Percabeth scenes, they were so adorable and beautiful. I loved how even tho they are differents and are not always in the same page, they still know eachother so well and the communication was just so cheff’s kiss. And omg their lasts scenes together ?? Chills !! Like when Percy almost begged the (kind of?) gods to let him stay just a few more moments with her because he was so scared of never seeing her again almost brought tears to my eyes and then of course their final scene when they fall together into Tartarus, because all that matter is that they’re together...MY HEART !!!
- Percy’s and Leo’s chapters. I put them together because I don’t have much to say except that I love them so much and that I would literaly lay down my life for this two. Their chapters are always such joy to read, and after one whole book without him, I was really glad to get back with Leo. Probably the funniest chapters too.
- The Crazy Dolphins scene. This scene was fucking hilarious. Pic comedy ^^
- The crumb of friendhips dynamics we got. So much potential I want to see more !! Like Percy x Jason, Annabeth x Frank (so much Hermione x Neville vibes), Leo x Frank, Hazel x Annabeth, Percy x Frank, Annabeth x Leo (Leo who is so scared of and impressed by her as he should lol),...That’s probably one of the reasons I was so bitter about the romantic relationships getting so much more time, like ALL the friendhships that were so interestings like come on !!
- Percy thinking about LUKE !!! hjfgjehgfjhsegf !!! The fact that he still considers Luke as his fighting teacher, still thinks about his training and his advices !!! Even going as far as thinking he totally understood where he came from for doing all this horrible things !!! That was so awesome !! And such a character development !!! And that makes Percy even more of an interesting character !!! Anyway I loved that ^^
- All the mythological aspect like Rick can be such a genius sometimes with how he uses them, managing to stay faithful to them while sill adapting them to a more modern setting and that works so well !! Well its there in every single one of the PJO series book, but I just wanted to put it out there so here.
- Hazel story. Look I didn’t like the whole weird kind off “love triangle” thing with Leo and Frank. But I love Hazel and I LOVED knowing more about her and also knowing more about Leo’s ancestor (who was awesome btw). That was such an interesting story, how she discovered that her only friend back then and first love spent his whole life thinking her disappearence was his fault. And the flackback was so cute too ^^ Also Loved her being so desperate finding her brother because that’s what Nico deserves and that was adorable. I really hope we’ll get to see more of their bond.
- The end. Such an amazing cliffhanger. I could feel the tension in the scene, I could’t stop reading and then the last chapter were everyone was just so in chock but Nico still believed that Percy would come back out of it alive because he admires him so much. It was SO !!! FUCKING !!! GREAT !!! Amazing way to end this book.
And that’s also how I will end this review ^^ Feel free to comment on it (respectfully) in the comments if you want.

I have just learned there is 30 min left
I think I would rather kill myself than watch the rest of this
I’m seriously have a sensory overload right now
I’m doing this for u
“children are brought here by coyotes”-presedentail cown 2020
what a wack ass sentence
hes like ohIi haven't been putting kids in cages
and then just went but I didn't build them they were built in 2014
(contradiction much)
“who built the cages”
“who built the cages”
“who built the cages”
yes it was Obama but guess what
THEY WERNT BUILT FOR KIDS
there ment to house animals, evidence, and adult prisoners in emergency situations
THEY WERNT MENT FOR 3 YEAR OLDS
Biden was just like “well no actually kids come with PARENTS”
(kids hardly ever come over with out parents)
and then he was like and also WHO LOST TRACK OF OVER 1,000 PARENTS
(thats 500+ new orphans at the least)
hes saying only the illegal immigrants with the lowest IQs come back after being deported
we said the same thing in december about you but ya’know
my mum was like “anyone eating chocolate” and I was like “im snaking on this ignorance” and she was like “dont do that you'll get indigestion”
“no one has done more for the black community then Donald trump except for maybe Abraham Lincoln”
oh yeah Biden just brought up how trump publicly campaigned for the execution of the central park 5
WHO WERE CHILDREN
AND OH YEAH THEY WERE COMPLETELY INNOCENT
trump just yelled at Biden, got muted, and just yelled louder
trump just said he cant see the audience but hes the least racist person in the room
“Abraham lincoln here is one of the most racist presidents in american history”- biden 2020
biden just went “oh god”
he just said that he used to not support the blm movement because they chanted rude things about police officers
I would like to reiterate that “pigs in a blanket” has never been chanted in a protest or been a prominent statement in the blm movement nor “fry em like bacon” so what trump is saying is factually incorrect
unless hes on some sort of far right conservative twitter feed were he came across a video of some drunk white college kids chanting it
but you know what ever fits you narrative
plus I would be pretty pissed if I kept getting shot at for no reason so....
Biden making more logical decisions
trump was like why have you never done all this stuff when you were vice president
“we had a republican congress” -biden 2020
we have the cleanest air
we have the cleanest crystal clear water
sir, i know you've been to mexico
don’t lie
the waters gorges down there
and not owned by your smug ass
trump just called china filthy
so you know....
*whispers* racism
ok 5 min left
for real this time
trump just went “aoc plus 3: and then hes like she knows nothing about the climate
ummm.... you dont even believe in climate change
bidens like “are....is...is is”
good for you
correcting your grammar
trump just said “the wind kills all the birds” out of the godamn blue
(he means wind mills and its untrue)
“Whats the next question baba”
“the final question is leadership which he doesnt have”- baba 2020
I feel bad for anybody watching this on the toilet
bidens starring into your soul
he knows what your doing
there officially overtime
its 10 33
they haven't even done the last section yet
btw ITS A SCHOOL NIGHT
why do they host these so late
I should be pretending to be asleep right now
this is generational discrimination
plus trumps supporters are so old there asleep by now
ohhhh its over
1036 final time
okay so thoughts....I generally dont like the party system i think its ridiculous the system was not designed for it, and its now more about loyalty then the actual candidates. I also am really hesitant to put another strait white male in the oval office, especially one thats from “the lucky few” I.E. the smallest voting generation in the country and also the one that already holds the most positions. That being said, at this point its really anyone but trump and I think bidens got the experience to turn things around.
I AM IN SCHOOL I CANNOT VOTE. I am relying on all my older friends, followers, neighbors, and community members. To make an educated decision that wont further degrade the once hopeful future my generation awaits. Please if you can vote VOTE the kids are relying on you!
P.S. sorry i wasn't able to edit this earlier i struggle alot with spelling and didnt have the time to edit this because I HAD TO GO TO BED AND THEN GO TO SCHOOL. Why am I more politically active then people twice my age you might ask? Well, thats because adults are lazy and need to get of their gd asses and VOTE. So kids dont have to do the legwork for them.
I have said my peace now, have a wonderful day!

ok trying this again lol hopefully tumblr doesn't eat my message but i saw where you reblogged that halloween prompts last night and wanted to request "strangers who hooked up at a party while in costume but tbh i might be in love with you so i’m gonna walk this earth looking for the right woodland nymph" for newmann. the thought of hermann dressed as a woodland nymph is CUTE!! thank you, maria
from list of halloween prompts here
HEHE this one took me a while bc i’ve been slammed with a cold the past few days thats made me want to do nothing but like. lie in bed. HERE YOU GO ENJOY
———————————————
“Sexy fairy, huh?” Newt says.
The dude leaning against the wall lowers his drink and frowns. “Pardon?”
“Shit,” Newt says. “Hang on. Sorry.” He pulls out his plastic fangs and works his jaw a few times, then settles right back into his most charming smile. “I said sexy fairy, huh?”
“Oh,” the dude says. He looks down at himself–the illfitting white tunic, the tacky fake vines glued to it, his sandals (socks with sandals, actually, wow)–and gives a self-conscious tug at the equally tacky flower crown atop his head. He’s a real hottie. Big brown eyes, dark eyelashes, cheekbones–definitely Newt’s type. He’s surprised that no one else dove in to chat him up first. “I think it’s meant to be a nymph, actually. I bought it at the costume shop on the way here.”
He’s all posh and English. Newt wasn’t expecting that, but he thinks he can dig it. He leers. “So the sexy is all you, then?”
The nymph’s frown only deepens. “What do you mean?”
“I mean–” Newt sighs. “I was calling you sexy.”
“Oh,” the nymph says again. “Er. Thank you.”
They slip into uncomfortable silence. (Way to go, Newt. Struck out already.) “Are you here alone?” Newt tries again.
It’s the wrong thing to ask: the nymph makes a face and takes a long sip of his drink. (Purple, with weird foam on top, probably whatever’s sitting in the punchbowl marked Witch’s Brew.) “Yes,” he says. “I came with my date, but he–ah–”
His eyes drift to a guy in a semi-matching costume on the dance floor, who’s currently bumping up against some hunk dressed as a sexy pirate.“Ditched you?” Newt says.
The nymph makes a non-committed sound. His hand tightens around the head of his cane (which he’s also wound fake vines around–Newt appreciates the creativity). “I didn’t want to dance,” he says, and then it’s his turn to sigh. “We only met a week ago, on some moronic–dating app my sister insisted I try. I should’ve known he’d…”
That won’t do; Newt was trying to get the guy’s number, not send him spiraling into moodiness. “Hey, I’m here alone, too,” Newt says. “All alone.” He doesn’t even know the host–it’s one of Tendo’s exes, he thinks, who he may or may not have gotten sushi with one time years ago but never bothered unfriending on Facebook.
“Mm,” the nymph says. He gives Newt a long once-over. Newt wishes that he’d planned better, and worn something a little sexier than just standard vampire. (Like sexy pirate; the guy the nymph’s date latched onto instead had the right idea.) As is, he’s probably only passably sexy: his pants are tight enough, and his shirt is open enough, and he has enough glitter in his hair (because it’s fun) to light up like a fucking disco ball in the light. “I suppose you’re going to ask me for my mobile number now. Or offer to get me a drink, despite the fact that I clearly already have one.”
Newt grins goofily. “That was the plan.”
He get another long, considering stare. Then the nymph sets his drink down and clasps his free hand around Newt’s wrist. “Follow me,” he says.
“Cool,” Newt says. “Uh, are we going to the kitchen? I think it’s–”
They’re not going to the kitchen: they’re going to an empty broom closet. Newt can appreciate a forward-thinking man who knows what he wants.
“You ought to know,” the nymph gasps, tangling his fingers in Newt’s hair, “I don’t really do these sorts of things.”
“Really?” Newt says. He grins up at him, face inches from the guy’s stupid tighty-whiteys. “’Cause I do. You want me to put my fangs back in?”
“No. Ah–!”
***************************
Newt wakes up with a hangover (predictable), his phone buzzing off the side table with his alarm (annoying), and the strangest sensation that he met the love of his life last night (unexpected). The sensation is only amplified when he picks up his phone and sees that he’s, apparently, sent no less than five texts to his dad about it (his fucking dad, of all people, Newt needs some friends), but it quickly turns to dread when he sees the mess that is his poor forearm.
(“I’ve got a spot right here,” Newt slurred. After mutually-reciprocated hijinks in the closet, he and the nymph–who had told him his name at one point, Newt was sure, he just totally forgot–proceeded to get totally smashed off whatever the fuck Witch’s Brew was and then make out in the corner until Newt finally reminded him that he still wanted his phone number. The nymph was game. He was less game when Newt showed him where to write it in bold black Magic Marker one he rucked up his sleeve: his right forearm, between his jellyfish tattoo and his Godzilla tattoo, on a small patch of empty, freckled skin.
“Cute,” the nymph said, wryly.
He said it in a way that made it clear he didn’t think Newt’s tats were actually very cute. “I like them,” Newt said.
“Can’t I just–” the nymph was struggling with the marker, “–put it right in your, ah, phone?”
“This is more fun,” Newt said.”)
The number is nothing more than a smeary mess now–probably casualty to the massive rainstorm raging outside that, if Newt’s soaked pile of clothing on the floor means anything, has been raging since he stumbled home last night.
He can’t even remember the guy’s name.
SOS, he ends up texting Tendo after a healthy amount of coffee and Tylenol. hooked up with super hot guy at a party last night and have no fucking clue how to see him again and i think i might be in love. help
you’re almost forty, Tendo replies, which is no help and isn’t at all the sick burn Tendo probably thought it was.
Newt resorts to stalking Tendo’s ex’s Facebook page instead. For anything, really. There are only a few photos up from the party last night (so far, anyway), and most of them are focused on the dance floor and the guy’s friends. Newt clicks through obsessively anyway. The ornate Jack-O-Lanterns that’d been on the front porch, Tendo’s ex and some chick in zombie makeup, the punchbowl of foaming purple Witch’s Brew, and–finally, in the very back corner of a shot–Newt standing with his mystery man. Tacky crown and all. He exists, at least, not some extremely specific hallucination on Newt’s part, even though a reverse image search turns up with absolutely nothing but links to buy his costume.
He has better luck with a blurry photo of his mystery guy’s (deadbeat) date laughing in the kitchen under the bright orange string lights: Tendo’s ex actually tagged him. Probably because he wasn’t totally crashing the party after seeing a post about it like Newt was. Newt’s luck pretty much stops there; not only does the guy make no mention of the nymph Newt spent the night with when Newt stalks his page, but he hasn’t updated his status in literally six months, and none of his friends (because Newt combs through his friends list, too) look remotely like Newt’s mystery man.
So. Newt sends him a friend request.
He accepts it in the amount of time it takes Newt to take to feed his fish, heat up a tiny bowl of spaghetti-o’s, and regret sending it in the first place; he almost spills the bowl over his laptop in his hurry to send a message. Hey, weird question, but who’d you bring to that party last night?
lol why?
“I’m in love with him” is definitely a little forward, so Newt makes up a fast, and hopefully at least mildly believable, lie. He has my umbrella.
Typing for a while. tbh idrk him, we met online. his name was hermann
Then: i think hes a teacher or something
who are you anyway? comes a second later.
Hermann. Newt likes it. It also rings a very, very vague bell. cool thanks! Newt sends back, and then quickly unfriends the guy. Anyone who could possibly ditch a guy as hot and funny and, overall, perfect as Hermann (as Newt remembers him, anyway) is not worth Newt’s time.
exciting update, he texts Tendo. his name is Hermann!
Newt has a lecture to teach at six, three hours from now, so in lieu of actually preparing for it, he decides to be a creepy stalker instead. Hermann’s date said he was a teacher: none of the local public schools have a Hermann (or a Herman, for that matter) on any of their staff pages, K all the way up to Twelve, nor do the private schools. He has better luck when he pokes through staff directories for nearby universities instead: this gives him two Hermans and one Hermann, but neither of their provided pictures look remotely like Newt’s Hermann. Not even when Newt squints.
He spares another miserable glance at the smeary ink on his arm before shutting his laptop. Maybe it’s just not meant to be.
He’s walking to campus from his bus stop the following week–the day before Halloween–when the most fucking unbelievable thing in the world happens.
He sees Hermann.
Just sitting outside the campus coffee shop at a little table, sipping a paper travel mug dotted with little orange pumpkins. Reading over some notes. Newt’s sure it’s Hermann: it’s Hermann’s big brown eyes, Hermann’s long eyelashes, Hermann’s sharp cheekbones, Hermann’s cane propped against the brick wall next to him. Newt’d recognize him even with the stupid nymph costume swapped for more sensible sweatervest and tweed. “Hermann!” he shouts excitedly, waving both arms. “Dude!”
Hermann looks up. He drops his coffee.
He’s completely speechless when Newt finally manages to book it across the street (dodging traffic, including the bus he came in on) and collapse, panting, into the empty seat across from him. “I can’t believe it’s you!” Newt says. “Holy shit, dude! I’ve been trying like crazy to track you down. I lost your number, so I had to message your shitty boyfriend–”
“Not my boyfriend,” Hermann says, faintly.
“Right, your shitty date,” Newt corrects. “You look so good. I almost didn’t recognize you without all the leaves. I’m so glad I found you. What are you doing here, anyway?”
Hermann blinks a few times. Registering it all. “I work–” He says, and gestures to the stairs that lead up to the main part of campus. “Er, here. Physics. I teach physics.”
That explains why Newt couldn’t find him on any faculty pages–he just assumed that Hermann couldn’t possibly be working at the same university as him and didn’t bother checking. He though he would’ve remembered seeing a face like that around. Physics, though, makes sense–it’s not like they’d be in the same building. “I do too!” Newt says. He leans in, beaming away. “Well, not physics, biology. I can’t remember if I told you my name or not. It’s Newt. Dr. Geiszler, if you wanna be serious, but I’m pretty sure we’re way beyond that at this point.”
“Ah,” Hermann says. “No, you didn’t say your name.” He blinks a few more times before finally seeming to get over his shock, and it’s replaced with mild amusement instead. A small smile. “You’re a doctor?”
“Are you that shocked?”
“You’re not very–” Hermann does a very bad job of disguising his laugh as a cough. “Professional. You know–at the, ah, party, you really should’ve just let me–”
“I know,” Newt says, and Hermann’s smile grows.
“Writing it on your arm was a terrible idea,” Hermann says. “I was horribly offended, you know, when you didn’t call the next day.”
Newt fishes his phone out of his pocket, unlocks it, and offers it out to Hermann with a grin. “Looks like I won’t be making the same mistake twice, then.”

It’s a classic European royalty AU, with King Lucian, Queen Lilith and Princess Charlotte. Varona (Vaggie) is Charlie’s Lady in Waiting but they have been secretly courting each other for quite some time now. (Unfortunately this is just the B plot and I don’t have much planned for it.)
Our focus will primarily be the House of Cadaverini: Marquis Henry Cadaverini and his late wife Marchioness Clementine, and their three lovely children, the Lord Nicholas, the Lady Maria, and the Young Lord Angelo.
Nick is the perfect heir. Upstanding young man, handsome, does what he’s told, handles quite a few of the House’s duties, helps maintain good relations with neighboring lords... the usual. In fact, many suspect that he will be betrothed to the Princess come year’s end.
Lady Maria is the talk of the land for her beauty and grace, but mostly her sharp wit. Normally ladies are expected to be prim and proper, and while she is, she has also never hesitated to cut a man down with her words... Many a rumor about what lucky lord will be able to “tame” that lady into a proper wife... Unfortunately, that doesn’t seem to be happening any time soon, since Henry is soft on her, his only daughter who reminds him of his wife so much; he’s given her the liberty of rejecting any suitor that comes before her and she does so gleefully.
And lastly.. of course, the Young Lord, Angelo. He is much more reckless than both of his siblings, and tales of his escapades travel far. He’s a heartbreaker, said to be able to woo anyone woman in the land. Although it would seem his tastes lie with the gents.. and is also exceptional at challenges of the equestrian variety. While beloved by many, much of the older Nobility find him disgraceful, due to his blatant disrespect and unwillingness to perform the duties expected of him. As you can tell the House is quite the popular topic for gossip.
Now one day, Lord Angelo and Lady Maria are out for one of their rides, (another thing she shouldn't be doing but WELL..) and they come across a hovel of a building.. Never noticed it because they never come out this far..... and it's so creepy it's like an above ground graveyard or a mausoleum or something..... there are coffins EVERYWHERE.... some open... some, more disturbingly, closed. This is where they meet the estranged Alistair who has.. no last name? Despite Angelo’s distrust, Maria seems to be immediately intrigued by this strange man... the first able to keep up with her Wit, following along with every twist and turn and giving as good as he got.
[ Interaction Interlude:
“So... Alistair...... What do you do for a living?”
“I’m a Carpenter! :)”
“..... who only makes coffins?” :doubt:
“................... Correct! :)” ]
Eventually, Angelo has had enough and is like “Alright let’s go!” And Maria seems frustrated by this but she agrees anyway.. they leave but even as they do both Alistair and Maria know... She’ll be back.
And she is! She starts to visit Alistair more and more often, all alone as well, which is extremely unacceptable for a woman of her status. And before they know it they’ve begun their own private little courting dance that neither will admit to. And thats. Main Plot Part A.
MEANWHILE IN MAIN PLOT PART B.... While Maria is off on her secret dates, which Angelo knows about and is begrudgingly been covering her for... Angelo actually has to go out since he’s supposed to be out with Maria. And he finds his time occupied at this kind of shitty smithy which is clearly for low income peasantry and thus. Absolutely NOWHERE he should be spending his time... Which is why he likes it so much. :))) And it’s there that he meets the gruff and burdensome blacksmith who offers no name. It’s fine though. Angelo doesn’t need a name to flirt. And this blacksmithy is cute under all that dirt and grime He Knows It. Unfortunately the Smith doesn’t seem to like the Young Lord at all, which is also fine. Angelo’s certain he can crack him eventually. No one can resist Lord Cadaverini. They go back and forth for months.. Angelo learns that people call the smith Husk... he likes the name. Eventually the man seems less genuinely irritated and more begrudgingly annoyed. Angelo can tell. The smith enjoys his company he just won’t admit it. Especially to himself. Finally one day, Angelo is actually getting on Husks nerves but he can’t even tell. The Lord is a bit oblivious to when people are legitimately mad at him, since he’s so used to mindlessing pushing people’s buttons. What pushes it over the line though, is Angelo asking why Husk is always smithing weapons especially since there's no way there could be that much demand for such a simple low class smithy... yet he’s always working. Husk snaps, although Angelo doesn’t know why, and he sends the lord away.
So! While his siblings have been gallivanting about, making poor examples of the Cadaverini House, Nicholas has been the one thing trying to hold their damn reputation together. Honestly the only reason that the Cadaverini haven't fallen in standing with the other Noble Houses is because the elders have faith in Nicholas to uphold the legacy and their beliefs in what nobility should be. He’s their last bastion of hope. They’d already given up on Angelo, and with each year unwed, they lose faith in Maria as well. In fact, prospects for House Cadaverini Look brighter than ever, since rumors say that Nicholas and the Princess will be wed.
Nick pays no mind to the rumors. Which is a real shame because he is woefully unprepared when Henry comes to inform him that yes, he has talked to King Lucien and he and Charlotte will be wed in December.
You see... Nicholas has not been the perfect son that everyone believes he has. He has a lot of duties for the kingdom; one of which is “maintaining foreign relations” a position that requires him to report directly to the king, making him Quite the Reputable and Important figure…
On paper, Hel is supposed to be fostering positive relations with its neighboring country, Locasta. However, under the surface King Lucien is planning a Coup, and intends to have his brother, Apollyna assassinated. In order to achieve this, Nicholas has been appointed as his Locastan Envoy, and is expected to spend long trips in the other country integrating himself into their Nobility, establishing a close relationship, and eventually learning trade military secrets. So Nick has spent his time trying to get into Count Caius Costello’s good graces. Although of lower rank, he is in charge of one of Locasta’s fiercest regiments. The plan was to use his status as a Lord and future Marques of Cadaverini House to garner a seat at Costello’s table. Then he would endear himself to the Count’s Sister, Salem, and use her as a pathway to receive information... Unfortunately... Things didn’t work out quite as planned.
Salem is smart as a whip, and just as quick and vicious. She pulls Nick off to the side of the stables one day, and before he can defend himself, she has him pinned to the wall with a knife to his throat. It’s almost shameful how easily she reads him, he’s like an open book before her. It’s impressive, but Nicholas still has a mission. So he lies through his teeth and waves his position around as though it were a white flag, and even though she doesn’t seem to believe him at ALL, she lets him go. He has a point after all... Killing someone of his status WOULD be a declaration of war, which is exactly what King Lucian would want. Her hands were tied.... for now. But the moment Nick slipped up, and he would slip up, she’d be there, sword at the ready. And he knew it. And he liked it.
He wouldn’t call it courting.. .that’s too formal. Too normal. Too acceptable. He spends the time in Locasta... pursuing Salem. And he spends his time in Hel missing her company. It’s a miracle his siblings haven’t noticed his lovesick longing, but he supposed that for once they were too busy doing whatever to be prying into his life. And for that he was thankful.
Back in Hel, Angelo has been... Sulking. To put it plainly. Maria’s been off with her new beau.... Nicholas has been off being Stupid Perfect Son Nicholas. And he’s been fucking alone because Husk hates him now and never wants to see him again and he doesn’t even know why. And this house is big and empty and it just makes him lonely upset and mad and lonely. And it’s on one of those lonely days in an empty house that the monotony was broken. Broken by a concerned servant, who requires the assistance of the Lord of the House and since Angelo is the only one there well... that task falls to him. Apparently there is a weaponsmith at the front gate and he is quite adamant that the Lord come see his wares. So Angelo makes his way to the front of the grounds and who does he see but. Husk. The young lord is immediately on guard; the last time they met they didn’t part on good terms after all. He debates just sending the man away but Husk asks that he please hear him out and well.... he quite likes the frump so... he invites him in.
[They make up. They fuck.] Funnily enough, it isn't until they're in bed that Angelo learns the man’s name... Hadrian Cabot... it was a good name. (And thank god his mother was already dead because had she heard of this she might have died again.) But Angelo demands one more thing from him. If he’s going to stay in his life then Hadrian will have to be honest about what set him off that day in the smithy. He doesn’t seem like he wants to share but after looking at Angelo’s face again it seems to break him down a little. He explains his... checkered past.... and the fact that until Angelo he’d always hated Nobles... and in fact he still hates 99% of them. Which makes Angelo laugh, knowing he's the 1%. And he doesn’t fault the smith for that; as a lord he could attest, Nobility, including himself tbh, were all AWFUL people. But then Hadrian tells him something that he can’t just brush off.. He tells him of a plot, an uprising in Hel. People are banding together, they know that King Lucian is power hungry and tyrannical and fear that a war they don’t want is on the horizon. It’s made the people restless and some have decided to lash out before he gets the chance to strike. That’s why he was always crafting weapons. He owed the guy who has become the unofficial leader of the revolution.. they’d worked together in the past and the reason Hadrian lashed out was because he hadn’t wanted to get Angelo involved. Angelo could understand why. He knew what revolution entailed. Heads would roll. Heads like his. He could understand why Hadrian didn’t want to get close to him. Not if he would be partially responsible for his death in the future. But even still something about the story unsettled him. This guy that Hadrian was indebted to... What was his name? Who is leading this revolution?.... Angelo wasn’t sure he wanted to know the answer. But he had to ask.
LET’S CHECK ON MOLLY HUH??? —
Alright! It seems that for Maria, her lovelife has been sailing far easier than either of her brothers. Alistair is fantastic. He actually engages her, he’s interested in the things she has to say, appreciates her mind instead of her breasts. It’s such a relief after wasting so much time with those bastards in the court. They get along quite well. It’s refreshing. She’d been making trips out to visit him once or twice a week at this point, just glad to have someone outside of her brothers that she could consider an actual friend. ((It’s not like she could just make informal housecalls to see the princess when ever she wanted, even if they were friends)) Someone who she could just be herself around, even if he was just odd. She could tell him her passions about the medical field, and he would in turn talk about his hunting escapades. She learned that although he made a number of coffins for work he also found an unexpected pleasure in the art. It soothed something in him, brought him to peace with death both future present and past. Maria didn’t quite understand it, but she respected it well enough. It was a day like any other, they’d been having tea and Alistair was in the process of explaining ‘taxidermy’ when Angelo burst in. He looked ragged and distressed and he wasn’t breathing right... It set Maria on edge.
His eyes looked so wild, darting back and forth every few seconds to look at Alistair, as if taking his eyes off him for a second would be catastrophic but also desperate to ensure that his sister was unharmed and in one piece. It took a few seconds to realize that between his reedy breathing and panicked gasps he was trying to speak, but it was all rushing together so quickly that it was incomprehensible. Maria immediately went to his side, assuming the worst. Thankfully it seemed that having her in arms reach helped to calm him, if only a little. During all the stress and concern, she hadn’t even noticed the man who followed Angel in, slightly out of breath. But thankfully Alistair did. He immediately took control of the situation, as if he were born to lead. It was a bit unexpected, but not unwanted, although again Maria and Angelo seemed to be out of sync with that thought. He instructed everyone to have a seat, and began to prepare tea for everyone as he tried to explain to Angelo that no one would be able to understand him until he calmed down and that the tea would help. The young lord didn’t seem to agree with him but eventually was cajoled into drinking by his sister and his... beau. He wished he hadn’t.
Within minutes he felt calm. Too calm. His tongue felt like lead in his mouth, every blink came slow and heavy, and suddenly the teacup had the weight of an anchor sitting in his hands. He wasn’t tired, it just felt that he was underwater. Every movement came, but it came sluggish like the drip of molasses off a wooden spoon. He wanted to glare, to yell and accuse Alistair for his misdeeds, but the very thought of lifting his head seemed like a monumental task, so very far beyond him. Thankfully, his sister was no fool, and immediately noticed something was wrong. Everyone was just too relaxed for the situation at hand. She turned to confront Alistair but he just responded with the same smile he always did, asking that she refrained from being swept away in her own emotions and that she hear his explanation. She didn’t know if she wanted to, but the sight of her brother, nearly comatose and in the arms of a stranger, left her with little choice now didn’t it? And she didn’t hesitate to point that out.
Thankfully, Alistair didn’t waste time on contrivances, and was quick to explain himself. He explained that while yes, it was coincidence that they happened upon his humble abode that fateful day, it was always part of the plan to “make contact” with the Cadaverini heirs. And yes, he meant Kidnapping. But thankfully he realized that day, there was no need to resort to such methods because Maria was an intelligent woman and surely would see his logic. He had no intention of hurting either her or her brother, he simply needed them as a means to an end, and it just so happened that if she would willingly agree to his cause that would only make things much easier. At that point, he details his entire plan to her; a move some might consider foolish, but when questioned he assured that he held no doubt in his mind that Maria would not betray him. It burned her inside to know that he was right. He explains the role that she and her siblings are to partake in this game of his and that is when she has had enough. She needs to know. Is that all this was to him? A game? Alistair is excited, he can tell by her calm demeanor that he’s already won her over, had he not he may have been in actual danger, and the thought has made him giddy. He’s prancing about the house, making changes to their plans to accommodate their new accomplices when he registers the question. “A game? Why of course not, Dear Maria! I’ve always considered you a good friend.”
She didn’t know if that answer made her feel better.. or worse.

(yn) is a heirs of her family’s business and soon to found out that she was arranged marriage with kim seokjin, the youngest billionaire in the world.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━❪❐❫━━━━━━━━━━━━━
pairings: seokjin x reader
genre: fluff, angst,
current status: ongoing (10 chapters perhaps)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━❪❐❫━━━━━━━━━━━━━
”sweetheart, you need to come with us..” your dad said for a hundred times forcing you to come with them on a business occasion that gets to happen on wednesday, the day after tomorrow to be exact.
”dad, i dont want to..you and mom knows that i get bored easily on the other hand you’ll end up sending me home anyways..” you despised, you got used to this lifestyle.
”this time its different..” your mom interfered while walking down the stairs. you dont know what she means by different but in any case..
”fine fine.. but in one condition...” you smiled devilishly and your parents had nothing to do with it. they been knew you always have conditions in terms of forcing you to get involved on something you dont like.
”alright, speak it up..” your mom gave up.
”bring back my bank account” you raise your eyebrows up and down, silly girl. they took down your bank account when they find out that you’re spoon feeding your friends, fake friends, is the right term i guess..
”okay fine. just make sure not to cause trouble on the occasion..” you almost jump out of happiness. you hugged your mom and dad and hurrily went upstairs to pack your things.
”lets go, tokyo!” you screamed mentally.
by the time your plane got landed, there were many people in the waiting area who brought signage to be recognized easily. your mom went straight to the direction of a foreign 40’s woman. they peck each other’s cheeks like they’re bestfriends.
”so is this (y/n) already? woah you grew up so fast and you turned in to a fine young lady! i remember the time when my husband and my son visited you, you were still small..” she started to tell you stories when you were small like she knew you since you were born.
”are we staying on their house or are we booking on a hotel?” you asked referring to the woman’s house
”we’re staying on hotel since they’ll be staying there, too!” your mom responsed happily and you just shrugged about it.
when the program started, the guests were called out by the mc and thats the cue for the entrance. your family was called out first thing when everyone was settled its not new anymore.
you were smiling confidently showing off your shimmering and sparkling long evening gown colored in black. everyone is dressed in formal, ladies wore dresses and gowns with accesories, gentlemen wore their tuxedo’s and americana suit’s pairing with their clean hair-cut.
you admired everyone, honestly speaking you’re not one of those brat who had so much pride and ego in herself, you atleast know how to appreciate small things. what makes your night more enjoyable was seeing the tall guy with brown under-cut hair, thick eyebrows and lips, broad shoulders and fascinating long neck.
he caught you staring at him, he smirked. and that made you flustered. he was obviously older than you. 26 perhaps and you’re like 21. you took your eyes off him and made yourself busy with other things like making friends with your dad’s business partners but let’s be honest your only friend right here is your cousin and his friend.
”so.. what will you do after this?” your cousin, jungkook asked you. he looks miserably bored and you know it.
”sleep. what else? there’s no fun here.” you said, atleast keeping the fact that you were intrigued on the guy you saw earlier.
”there’s a club on the roofdeck, would you mind to check it out later?” he wasnt really asking at you, he was pleading.
”yeah. i actually agree with jungkook. c’mon (y/n) it’ll be fun!” taehyung butt in to your conversation.
”okay fine, you’ both will keep me company alright?” they happily nodded on you, however you know that’s a lie, you know your cousin is a fuckboy cannot deny the undeniable fact.
after the program, everyone went out as well as you but you were not with jungkook qnd taehyung anymore. you halted when you saw your mother with the guy who glued your eyes earlier.
”oh hey! that’s my daughter right there. i hope you still remember her.. come here (y/n)!” you were supposed to take a detour but oh no, your mom started to call you. you politely joined them with an awkward smile.
”goodevening gentleman..” you shyly spoke and lightly bowed. you saw your mom bringing up her proud face that she taught you so well.
you hardly gulped when he took your hands and kissed it. that was the most respectful way of greeting a lady. oh it sucks, he looks hardcore. you erase the thought that has been bothering you.
”hello m’lady.. it’s nice seeing you again..” he smiled and you giggled when he’s puffy cheeks showed. sure he was confused why did you giggled but it gave him the right satisfaction. hearing you giggles is like a music to his ears.
you didn’t have the chance to ask if you have met before because you barely remember anything from your childhood you were flustered when a hands were wrap on your shoulders. ”goodevening, seokjin. goodevening, auntie..” jungkook greeted. you saw how seokjin’s jaw clenched.
”hey, kid..” he smiled devilishly, fair enough you both have something in common.
”don’t kid me, you old-man!” jungkook hissed and at some point that made me laugh, i see how my cousin made seokjin taken aback.
”Auntie, I will borrow your beloved daughter for a while!” jungkook said to your mom and pulled you out on the most awkward conversation you ever had to your mom knew she couldn’t disagree so she let jungkook took you away.
”god, thank you for saving me..” you could almost kiss your cousin’s cheeks for feeling relieved.
”yeah.. i see how tense you were..” he chuckled. funny thing is he whistled something with a rythmn and taehyung suddenly went out on the room before you.
”woah what sorcery was that?” you laugh.
”something you can’t do..” they both laugh and mock you on your way to the roofdeck.
the moment you got inside.. the room was half filled of people and mostly its adults. the sounds of glasses clinking, the crowd’s noise and the background music that has been played of the DJ. you can already taste the alcohol just by smelling to it.
”lets get wasted!” taehyung shouted and started to dance while walking to the dance floor. he looks insane. but cute.
both of you and your cousin jungkook directed to the bartender. he ordered for you apparently you’re not good in this and he knows.
”what is this?” you asked and smelled it when your drinks has been served.
”that’s an americano. its just equal parts to amaro and sweet vermouth, built over ice and topped with soda. its like a negroni with soda to make it even more refreshing plus the perfect balance of bitter and sweet in addition with this aperitivo, you can drink it before or after dinner and still be able to make good conversation afterwards..” he explained.
”i am honestly thankful that you are the one who’s with me right now and not taehyung he might order me some hard drinks.. and make fun of me whilst wasted” you laughed.
”I bet you really are.. anyways i also need to get myself comfortable with ladies so... cíao” jungkook excused himself and joined every tables where women are.
”i bet he’ would have a good fuck tonight..” you mumbled and sip on your drink.
”yeah, i bet too..” you almost choked on your own drink when you heard his voice. this fucking guy.
”you’re here????” you awkwardly laugh.
”and so you are.. one irish bomb please..” he grinned at you and made his way to the bartender.. seeing him right now he didn’t got to change his clothes like you but atleast he got rid of his americana. he’s currently wearing his white polo, tucked in until his elbows and first three buttons were unbottoned. how freakin’ hot!
you shook your head immediately, you’re not supposed to fantasize of him again. not him. he screams danger and wildness.
”one irish bomb..” the bartender served his order and he drank it smoothly.
”cool, so you’re used to this?” you asked out of curiousity, you saw him fvking finished the irish bomb for 0.1 second
his adams apple moved harshly. ”yeah. you could say that..” he moved his bangs upward and made his forehead more visible.
shit. you mentally screamed why is he doing this to you? he can’t be this good looking! oh my god i could’ve kneel down.
”so -uh have we met before?” you finally had the chance to ask him. you are a bit surprised since he is not talkative like what you’ve imagined.
”yeah. when we were little, my family went to vacation on your place..” he responsed while nodding his head, he’s literally spacing out like reminiscing a familiar dramatic story.
”cool so have i ever knocked you out before?” you sudden asked that stupid question made him laugh.
”so you’re really knocking out boys don’t you?” he laughed so hard that he had to touch his stomach.
”yeah. i didn’t know why, i dont really remember what happened before that but jungkook said someone taught me to knock the boys out..” you smiled remembering the boys you punched and kicked.
you accepted the fact that you are honestly the weirdest and roughest girl on your childhood, boys are mostly frightened of you except of jungkook and your dad.
”that’s great and cool of you..” he smiled. honestly the reason why seokjin smiled and looks proud because he was the one who taught you to treat boys like that.
jin can’t deny the fact that he had a crush on you when you were kids. he correctly remembers that you always tells him secrets and so on, even the boys who confessed that had crush on you.
thats the reason why he had to taught you how to punch and kick someone specifically boys, he was 13 years old back then and you were 8. he knows that he was very protective of you.
”so how’s your life now? do you have a boyfriend?” he suddenly asks you and surprisingly out of the topic.
you shook your head. ”nah. my parents doesnt allow me to have boyfriends, officially speaking but yes i had.. a lot of hidden and secret relationships..”
he clenched his jaw and you noticed but just shrugged it away. ”why wont they allow you to have a boyfriend?” he continues to ask anyway.
”they said someone was already destined for me.. like they knew who is meant to me already..” you smiled and played with your glass.
he nodds ”so... are you fine with it?”
”i am always fine of their decisions.” you shrugged and sighed undeniably sad, you can’t despise your parents, not even once.
”no, i mean what about you? i want to know about your own feelings and opinion. are you really fine with that?” he repeated his question, seeking for the accurate and sincerest answer.
”i didn’t actually have a serious relationship before.. so as long as he’s not interested with my family’s riches, and accepts and love me for who i am.. i might be inlove with him already before i could ever know..” you said in a fantasy way however there is no such man and you know it, reality speaking.
”you’re a sweet girl, a loyal friend and an obedient child to your parents, (y/n).. you deserve everything in the world and that includes someone who will love you for the rest of your life..“ his smile was like the assurance of everything bout’ what he said. you felt comfortable.
”thank you, bro..” you responsed.
”you bro-zoned me that shit hurted.” he touched his chest and pretended to be hurt and laughs eventually.
”crackhead..” you mumbled and laugh.
how fast the time have passed you cant clearly remember how did you get back on your hotel room, seeing both jungkook and taehyung wasted on the other bed made you smile.
that seokjin is quite a catch.

Part 3 The Noxious Agenda
“Um...hello?” Ed’s voice broke as he tried to speak; his throat had dried in the long walk through the desert.
He had found himself at a small shack that gave him a heavy ‘get off my lawn’ vibe. But he had followed the directions to the letter and was convinced there was more to this place than he was seeing. He took a few steps slowly towards the door. With each footstep he shifted his weight slowly, checking for pressure plates in the ground or beneath the scattered wood scrap. When Ed reached the door he placed his hand gently on the doorknob and slightly wiggled it to check for traps. He rubbed his thumb along the mechanism. The more he stared, the more he prodded, the more slight movements he made the more he slowly realized that he was wasting his time fondling a perfectly normal door knob, and with the correct amount of shame and embarrassment he sighed and went inside.
The shack looked somewhat lived in. There were a few fake dead fish on the wall, although the smell of the room itself made you consider the possibility they were still alive. A coffee table bearing an amber ashtray sat in front of a small TV made to accept antenna signals the world no longer offered. But this couldn't be it. Ed wasn't new to this type of world and began to search the place for whatever he thought might open it up. A secret ladder under a carpet, or maybe a fake vent with a crawlspace. As his search turned up nothing he decided he’d even be satisfied with a spinning bookshelf, but everything he touched was dull and ordinary. Pictures of family, fishing magazines, television remotes that outnumbered televisions, but no buttons switches or mechanisms. He stepped outside in frustration and then saw dust on the horizon. A small snake of raised dirt signifying someone was approaching. He sat on the porch to act casually and began to think up lies to explain why he's there.
He was a traveling salesman. Since this land clearly belonged to a dirt farmer he was obviously there to sell shovels. Why does he have no shovels you ask? Because they would be heavy and hard to carry but he sells a service to help people order the shovels. Why does he not have the paperwork and order forms? Did he say he sold shovels? No he means he repairs them. In our modern day too many people buy new things and throw the old away. That’s why he’s here to offer cheap repairs on shovels and all dirt farming tools. Where is his equipment you ask? He is an all natural smithy who uses sand and rocks found in yards to help his trade instead of spending money on fancy tools. Edward decided this was an easy lie to argue, and that was a good thing, since by that time a small shabby car had made it to the stoop he trespassed on. Time to sell some shovel service.
The window rolled down. “Get in quick scrub the homeowner is on his way!” The side door opened. Ed was elated to see the masks he had familiarized with Noxious agents. Without fully understanding what was happening he quickly jumped in the car and sped off. The driver started laughing and the passengers, Ed included, contagiously joined in. there was an air of excitement in the vehicle.
“That was damn close. Thats old man Adam’s house and he's really big on the no trespassers lifestyle. You went left at the giant V shaped rock instead of right didn't you?” the driver said glancing from Ed to the road and back.
“Yes sir,” Ed confirmed.
“I swear we’re handing out the wrong directions to potentials. Last three new agents went the same way and caught a fate worse than death. Name’s James by the way,” the man introduced himself as he began to loosen up his shoulders and his driving habits.
“A fate worse then death?” Ed asked as he felt his stomach sink into the seat as some form of near death car sickness.
“Yeah. I heard they got converted into nationalists and are made to hand out anti-Jewish pamphlets at the mall,” james said with a sarcastic smile. He was a sturdy looking guy but had a soft face. His purple medical mask hung from his ear, allowing him to smoke a cigarette. His well-worn green hoodie hung off the back of his head as it draped over a semi ripped black t-shirt. He seemed to take the uniform as seriously as he took his driving considering he continued to make great eye contact with the conversation while pretending to watch the road.
“I heard they missed Adam’s house and wandered through the desert and got lost and eventually became coyotes. That’s how all coyotes are made!” a woman in the passenger seat exclaimed, turning her body to look back at Ed. Her mask was pink and she had a loose hood hanging from her shoulders. The theme was becoming apparent. “My name is Misty. Not really but get it?” she said enthusiastically while leaning in towards him, then leaning further.
Ed had concluded that if he did not answer she would soon be in the back seat. “Yeah I get it,” he lied, “so you guys work for the Noxious Agenda? Venoms right?”
“Toxins,” the young man to the sharing the back seat with him clarified. He seemed to be the only one with the uniform in order as the hood met a pair of goggles both a seemingly unintended shade of black. He mask secured tightly, a white scarf of some sort. “Rank one, name’s Oin. Like coin without the C,” he said before pulling out a phone and focusing in on it.
James again recklessly glanced back.“Yee Venoms are rank two. They’re the paper pushing assholes we all hope to be one day. Were called Toxins, rank 1, and we do the real work! The stuff worth bragging about! The front line adventures!” he said proudly, describing what clearly seemed like disposable heroes. “Youll learn all of this in orientation. What made you join?”
“People. The way they act. I saw a speech from Noxious online describing the problem with negative mentalities and I was inspired. I hit the world with a smile and motivation but felt like it gave me nothing but hostility in return” Ed continued his somewhat rehearsed speech, as he expected this and a few other basic questions and wanted to seem enlightened on the matter, “then the speech made sense to me. The people who met me with hostility would have chosen positivity if they just saw how it could help them. Lord Noxious would have them breathe in positivity and see how all of us would be happier,” he explained, hoping all important notes were mentioned.
“Wow Lynn would love you. You could be a star in the propaganda department with a backstory like that sheesh.” James looked back at him with a humble smile. He sighed, “so the reason HOLY CRAP NO!!!” he shouted as he swerved to not hit a small family of daring rabbits jetting across the street, “poor little dumbasses. Anyway I dig ya story. It’s intense. I’m only here ‘cause Noxious personally gassed my dad and he quit drugs and i was like omigosh that’s the answer, sign me up,” James explained, glancing back having not learned his lesson.
“Fight drugs with drugs,” Misty added while leaning her chair back slowly, stealing the precious few inches of room Eds knees was resting at.
“Hey it worked. Ok we’re almost here so get good,” James said as he pulled his mask up and secured it. Him and misty seemed synchronised in pulling there hoodies up and like that both of them were transformed from a car full of menacing young adults into a band of knaves with concealed features. Ed felt exposed with no mask but he was somewhat prepared. He pulled a scarf out and wrapped it over his mouth then covered his head with it. It was black and lime green, his attempt to fit in better with the color scheme he had seen on tv. They pulled up to another random shack not too unlike the one he had just been whisked away from.
They parked the car and all walked cautiously towards the door. Ed was stopped in mid step by James who pointed to the ground in front of him. Ed peered at the small plank by his feet as James’s hand held him in place. When he squinted he finally saw it. A very small wire peeking out of the side of the wood. A tiny glimpse of a mechanism. Ed was as happy as he possibly could have been. THERE WERE FLOOR PAD TRAPS! No one had ever been so excited to almost be murdered by a machination. It made him feel terrified and yet reaffirmed. He passed over it with the rest of the group, careful to only step on visible dirt and not trash or any stray objects. When he got to the door he began studying the doorknob, this time with gleeful excitement. He turned it slightly and felt around it till he found a small opening on the top of the brass sphere. He faced away from it, covered his mouth and nose with his elbow and gave it a full turn as gas suddenly shot out of the hole to where his face would have been. He looked back at the other agents. James was soundlessly clapping and giving obnoxious thumbs up gestures. Ed could see a smile behind the mask, warping its shape.
Ed entered the small shack. Deja vous. On the wall were pictures of the fat man prototype nuke from WW2. This felt better he thought. He walked over to the small coffee table and felt under it... There it was. A small toggle switch. He flipped it and heard machinery as the room adjacent to him began lifting, revealing a stairway below the floor.
“Took me ten minutes to find it when I was first here, what about you?” Misty asked, walking in with Oin.
“Way less,” Oin replied, “the coffee table is out of place, there's nowhere to sit near it.
“JAMES HURRY UP!!!” Misty yelled then looked towards Ed, “hey go rush him he's behind the car.”
Ed made his way out there but then slowed down as he heard the streaming sound of James relieving himself.
James looked at him. “Hey i'm on my way. You might wanna use the tree next, once we go underground there's about a ten minute walk down till we get to a bathroom”
“Yea that would be best...” Ed said, walking over to the tree. Ed started to play with his zipper then looked back at James who was leaning on the car. He looked again at his zipper and again at James.
“Nervous wee wee. Gotcha,” James said before walking away.
Ed waited a moment till James was out of sight then pulled a small sphere out of his pocket, making sure to keep it in front of him and out of view. He pressed a button on it and the sphere blinked twice. He knew this meant the tracking functionality was working. He then hid it in his pants and made his way back to the shack. The day didn't start well and clearly bad intel was shared but at the very least the button to release the hidden stairway was right where his boss had said it would be. He only hoped everything else in this infiltration would go as smoothly so he could get away from this cult as fast as possible.

Ep. 13: “I Need To Make Moves Here And This Is A Big One” - Mikey
JENNET
guilt tripping everybody that voted out sammy bc that was such a weird move and shows how weak everyone really is. idk it made 0 difference to me, i honestly could care less about this round. if i get immunity, mikey is playing the idol on himself if he gets immunity im getting the idol so it really does not matter
JESSICA
Woo the plan worked and Sammy is gone! He seemed sad because he said he wanted to stick with me but his actions didn't really align with that.
My goal is still to get Jennet and Jones out. I feel bad because Jennet is now in a position where they’ve been targeted every round of merge and a lot of that is for little to no reason. I don't really know why Lovelis tried to vote for them, or why their name came up when Daisy left, and the round Sam went home I only said their name to try and protect Lindsay. And last round their name was a decoy.... but still! They have been through a lot and I feel bad. But unfortunately because of this, they are definitely winning if they make the end. They haven’t betrayed a lot of the jury, they now have this great underdog story if they make it, and their whole game is about loyalty and honesty and all that stuff betrayed jurors jut love to vote for. Which I will say.......... it's easy to be loyal and honest when you don't align or overly strategize with half the team. It also leaves you super vulnerable to being a target sooooo I feel bad but I also feel like that's the reality of blocking yourself off to so many people.
Since Sam is sadly gone, my new ideal final 5 is Lindsay, Shane, Mikey, and Jake. That will get awkward because I feel like it'll fall into 2 vs 2 and they'll all expect me to stick with them. That would be the downside to my strategy of "align with everyone and make everyone feel like you're their option" buuuut I think I'm saved by the fact that asides Jennet, I feel I can beat everyone left at the end. I don't think it's a guarantee; I'll definitely have to do a good FTC. But Shane and Lindsay have really bad social games -- Shane fights with everyone and betrays close allies for no reason and Lindsay apparently doesn't even talk to half the people left. Yesterday, Jake and Mikey both said they thought Shane would win at the end because "he's made so many moves!!!" which is ummmm not very feminist because I think everyone credits him with doing a lot more in the Daisy vote than he actually did. I feel very much like the Natalie White of this season because my relationships are really what is holding everything together. I just have to be careful that people don't see me as keeping Shane around when he's an obvious threat because that could definitely damage my chances of winning.
However.... there is something that could upset that f5 and that is if this round, Jones/Mikey/Jake/Jennet all want to vote out Shane or Lindsay (again). I'm not actually that opposed to this happening because it would be very useful for me to have a close ally on jury to tell them what I did. It would also mean I don't really have to "decide" who to pick at f5 but I would still be relatively protected. However I also worry that if Jennet gets through even one more round, Mikey, Jones, and maybe even Jake will just refuse to vote them out like they did before. Mikey admitted to me he knows Jennet will win at the end but if he feels like he has no shot, he might just keep them around because they're close and that is not a great sign for me!
I guess we'll see what happens with immunity. Also go me for being the last person left with no votes against them :~)
JENNET
something about a white man yelling over me last night when it was my turn to speak doesnt sit right with me... i dont want to make it a race thing or a “gender” thing but .... idk its kinda taken me out of the game i dont even feel like campaigning to stay tbh...
(a little later)
soon as shane won immunity here go jessica pming me saying she hates that he won... pls that is ur ally u love the fact that he won... just admit it tired of these people playing in my face but i dont wanna play into that role that i know i fall into fairly quick
(after taking a beach stroll)
this may be my last week i fear 🕴🏾
(after taking the camera and running into the woods)
jess must think im a fool every round she “leaks” info to me and then she does the complete opposite of what she says she will. im sorry its pathetic at least this round she told me shes voting me pero its like now shes asking me if i have any alternatives that i can convince her into doing and im like... girl its one of my allies and like 5 of urs left dont play me like im some dummy .... so that u can tell them im pushing for them and give more reason for them to want me out? she not getting my jury vote for sure
SHANE

LINDSAY
jennet is the target. if they have an idol i will probably go home. i have crippling anxiety 🤩
im sorry thisbis so short there's not much to report on. there was a miscommunication between everyone that mikey caused but nothing rly came of it. im just
you know how sometimes when youre abt to fall bur you catch yourself your stomach does thise little flips? thats me for the past hour. i have a bad feeling abt this, but i also have crippling anxiety so shocker
JESSICA
me yesterday: If Lindsay or Shane got 7th, I wouldn't be sad!
me now: ummmmmmmmm no stop being silly
Anyways we are all voting Jennet as of right now. I told Mikey that we were splitting votes on him and Jennet potentially (so that I could get Mikey to vote Jennet, meaning Shane or Lindsay could throw 1 vote on Mikey in the event of an idol) but then Mikey went and told everyone I said that??? Which was a weird move, I don't know if he was hoping it would blow up on me but I just admitted to everyone what my strategy was. Now it seems like they just don't trust Mikey. Which is useful for next round, if I can make it there.
I also told Shane and Jake that Mikey asked me if they were threats and I'd said yes. I told Shane and Jake this so that in the event Mikey went to them, they'd already have a heads up and wouldn't be suspicious (because Mikey leaks almost everything and I felt like that would definitely happen). I also accidentally implied to Jake that Shane was targeting him?? Not really sure how that happened but there was this weird temporary blowup where Jake went to Mikey and Shane and said he heard they were saying his name. Obviously I was NOT excited for this because I was worried it would come back against me instantly so I tried to smooth things over with Shane and Jake + told Mikey it's not cute to leak info! I'm hoping that the three of them are pointing their daggers at each other and haven't turned on me but it was definitely scary for a minute. I also told Mikey Shane originally wanted Jake to go when Daisy left AND that I thought Shane/Lindsay would vote Jake out next. I can explain both of these away pretty easily to Jake (1. That vote was a long time ago and he only wanted to do it because Jake was saying Lindsay and 2. I was just saying they'd vote him out next to make Mikey comfortable) but he isn't online to give me the chance to do it and I don't want to bombard him with messages.
But here's where I am 2 hours before we vote...... I'm ultra paranoid Jennet has an idol. And she knows she's going tonight. Everyone was like "don't tell her she's leaving!" and I was like???? She knows?? I'm not wasting her time pretending like I'm not considering voting for her. So now....... should me, Shane, Lindsay just vote out Mikey (or Jake?) instead? I'm hesitant to bring this plan up to anyone for a few reasons:
- None of these people can keep a damn secret!!
- If we flip and Mikey does vote Jennet (and there's no idol), it will be 3-3-1. Really not liking that
- I don't thiiiiink Jennet would idol me out if they were to idol anyone. I'm afraid to bet on this too heavily but I really, reaaaaally hope because I'm being honest with them this round, they would see me as someone who would maybe work with them at f6/f5 (as opposed to Jake, who has lied to them and Jones who flipped last round, and Lindsay who she says she wants out). I originally!!! Thought that Mikey would never vote for me but I'm honestly not sure after today
- Jake is completely MIA today, same with Jones. Jake SHOULD trust me since I've warned him whenever I've heard his name but I'm worried after the shenanigans of earlier + him not responding that he's now sketched out by me
- I don't want Jennet in the f6 (sorry Jennet!) because I think if we lie to the others about who we vote, they are more likely to go to rocks for them if we vote them next time. Like right now, Mikey is not going to a rock for Jake (or vice versa) but I think both would do it for Jennet if they felt they were their only path to the end. If people go to rocks for Jennet like we might as well all pack it in now and let them win because that just shows!! How good their relationships are.
The reason I'd want to switch the plan is because if Jennet has an idol, they are absolutely playing it tonight. If they don’t have it, they don’t have it, but that means Jake or Mikey could. So like.... why not do a fake out and have a higher chance of getting the merge idol out of here? Plus if Jennet doesn't play it tonight, we can vote them tomorrow with much more ease.
I'm worried people are too aware that I'm really moving things behind the scenes and are going to come for me this round. Here's where I'm hoping my strategy of be everyone's BFF / an option for everyone will help me out -- Lindsay is a bigger threat than me and has done a lot less of that work so in the event Jake and Jones DO decide to turn..... I think they'd vote for her over me. But that's not really ideal because going into a F6 with only 2/3 of my end game trio is not the look! Despite what I delusion-ly thought yesterday!
JONES
fukjlkjdsflakjsdalfskdfja i have a rlly bad gut feeling i'm going home bc its like ,, , too quiet and too straight forward, i think jessica should be going this round ? either she'll be idoled out or voted out 4-3 ya feel,, i'm just ,, my stomach hurts i need jessica to get voted out she's like ,, my only competitor in terms of gameplay style >? ya feel ? i'm not excited for whatever happens after tribal,, so maybe i throw up, maybe i get voted out , either way i'm free
JAKE
Yeah so that last move was a mistake lmaooo I thought Mikey and Jennet were tighter with Sammy than they actually were 😬 so now I’m just trying to regroup from that. Seems like Jennet is the target but I feel terrible voting her out so I’m sort of at a loss. I also don’t want Mikey to be left out again so just trying to figure out what’s best for me eek 🥺
MIKEY
OK SO. Me Jake and Jennet are voting jessica, jones is voting jennet and Im gonna play my idol on jennet. I need to make moves here and this is a big one. Sorry JESSICA!

Roleplay Server Log #229
“Nks Crystals, Splender and Stevenson Visit Kore”
-Two days later.-
[Doc] is feeling mostly recovered and goes to visit Splender. Xe goes to hit the path switch and gets distracted by a school of little fish using the shallow water
[Pinwheel] Is laying out in the sun in the grass-
[Doc] Notices the little dragon and calls to her softly-
[Pinwheel] Her tail flicks in annoyance-
[Doc] Notices the little flick and is reminded of Grinny. - Not gonna bug you, just saying hi.
[Splender] Hears Doc and sticks his head out- Oh! Doc!
[Doc] Hey Splender. Nice to see Pinwheel getting some air. She seems much calmer.
[Splender] - I still try to snuggle her at night
[Doc] I think that's probably okay. Yaunfen loves to snuggle. I think they get a little bit cold with all that bare skin.
[Splender] - So what can I do for you Doc?
[Doc] I was going to go visit the subseed and drop off some more supplies for them, I wondered if you wanted to come.
[Splender] - Oooh! You mean to see the statues?
[Doc] Yes. And I think it should give you a huge energy boost too, they haven't seen you since the fight.
[Splender] - But what about Pinwheel?
[Doc] She seems happy enough. Unless she wants to come? I mean, Deerheart has Yaunfen, I can ask her to come over if you think Pinwheel still needs a babysitter for her nap. She's likely the most lethal thing on this seed anyway.
[Splender] - I don't know...
[Doc] Ask her. You can kind of read minds, can't you?
[Splender] - She just says no... And our mind reading does use some EMP...
[Doc] Okay, then I guess she's good. I'm not going to argue with her.
[Splender] Gives Pinwheel a quick pet-
[Pinwheel] Hisses-
[Doc] We shouldn't be gone long anyway.
[Splender] - Okay, be good Pinwheel!
[Doc] Nods and starts walking.
[Splender] Happily follows after teleporting over to the shore-
[Doc] Turns to check on him and walks straight into their exeggutor- Oh hey, sorry!
[Exeggutor] Just cocks it's heads and smiles in a goofy way.
[Splender] Pats it's leaves-
[Exeggutor] Electrical happy hum and it falls into step with them-
[Doc] ahhh, mobile shade.
[Splender] Giggles-
[Doc] Pats the pokemon- I think this guy is kinda psychic too. I feel a little bit of pressure on my mind from it sometimes. Like when TLOT is looking for me. So... how's the family?
[Splender] - Rather well, Strangled has apparently refused to leave his room though... Slender thinks he may be trying to plot revenge against you
[Doc] Sigh- If all he wants to do is kick my ass, he needs to get in line. Mb seems to think he has permenant first dibs. And this NOTCH of mine is a fucking pest.
[Splender] - Your NOTCH?
[Doc] Yeah.... Dn. He's apparently been hanging around outside the server trying to get in since I was made a brine.
[Splender] - Ah... Maybe he just needs some happy energy!
[Doc] Who knows. His hearts are likely just a big chunk of ice. He freezes everything around him. He gave me whopper of a cold just by creeping on me while I was sleeping.
[Splender] - I'm sorry to hear that...
[Doc] It's whatever. There are worse NOTCH's. He's not deadly, just a dick. Have you seen Lie's? Her's showed up too. He's a kid. Literally.
[Splender] - If you say so... A KID!?
[Doc] Yeah. A shortie. And bald. No goatee though.
-....CRUNCH...-
[Splender] - Awwwww... What was that?
[Doc] Jumps at the noise.
[Exeggutor] Looks around in concern.
[NK] -Straight up just bit off a piece of shard as he works-
[NK] -hasn't even noticed them. amazing.-
[Doc] Nk? What are you up too? Did you break something?
[Nk] -slight startle, head turning up from what he's working on. Looks like jewelry.- Just making somethin'. Didn't mean to startle if I did.
[Doc] Not at all, that looks pretty. It's a nice day for working outside.
[NK] -carefully twists pieces into place with a nod- Yeah, it is indeed. Decided I needed a change of scenery. -scrutinizes jewelry a bit-
[Doc] Wait, I know that noise! Liz was eating crystals the other day!
[NK] Hmmm?
[Splender] Is transfixed by the sparklies-
[NK] The dragon child?
[Doc] Yeah, she was crunching away on them. She gave me one and it made a decent amount of statick and a bit of lightning too.
[Splender] Moves a tendril to touch one-
[Doc] Actually, have you seen Liz lately? It's probably getting close to time to make her a humanish shape as well, if she wants one of course.
[NK] Ah, I see. -turns head to look at Splender- ... ? -carefully offers jewelry- Do you want it?
[Splender] Happy gasp- YES PLEASE!
[NK] -at Doc-Nah, haven't seen the dragon.
[Doc] Okay, if you run into them, or Mix or Sky, let them know, okay?
[NK] -gives jewelry. It's a simple golden bangle with a shard carefully welded into it- Will do. I know Mix is asleep, but Sky is here and there.
[Splender] Squeals happily as he takes it-
[Doc] That's nice work. Hey, did you make a house yet?
[NK] Yeah, two, technically. One's in the Nether, the other's a bit beyond Mix's over the water.
[Doc] Great! It's nice to see you settling in. You haven't been around much. Mix seemed exhausted last time I saw her and Firebird's been sleeping in my loft.
[NK] -thoughtful look for a moment before casual smile- I see.. It might be that flowery Brine. He's.. He's a handful.
[Doc] I haven't seen him around at all. I though GK was trying to draw him out, but he's been so busy babysitting the little dragons...
[NK] He seems pretty content to stay in that tree, and when he's not, who knows where he is...
[Splender] Happily plays with the jewelry-
[NK] -idly pops a shard out of his inventory and starts manipulating it, watching Splendor-
[Splender] - OOH! What are you going to make now?
[NK] Not sure yet. Thinking of some kind of... Necklace maybe. Or a really fancy ring.... -twist bit-
[Splender] - I know it will be pretty!
[Doc] It's a shame. I wouldn't mind getting to know him better. You too. Have you remembered anything else?
[NK] Uh..... -curl part around his hand- Hm. No, not that's particularly important?
[Doc] I'm just curious. I mean, if you wanted to shedule a session with one of the brine's thats psychic to see if anything might shake loose, I could make it happen...
[NK] I appreciate the offer, but no thanks. Don't like other people knockin' around in my head.
[Doc] Understood. Just offering. I can imagine how frustrating it must be, and how easy to just lose yourself wandering out there in the dark. It's part of the reason I caved and let those two NOTCHs in....
[Splender] - This is such a pretty shard...
[NK] Is that why the cold one is here? Huh. -pops another shard out and begins weaving the two together- I'm glad you enjoy it.
[Doc] Yeah... that one's my burden to bear...
[Splender] - We can always help you with that burden Doc...
[Exeggutor] Plops down next to Nk and watches him work-
[Doc] How so?
[Splender] - By being there for you!
[NK] I would not hesitate to end it's life. -its said so, cheerily-
[Doc] For right now he's done nothing to deserve being murdered. He's just aggravating the piss out of me. And I'm not sure how the little one would react. We don't have any idea what the extent of their powers are yet either.
[NK] Fair, fair. I atleast gave my other half a chance. -idly crunches part of the shard off-
[Splender] - What do you mean? Did you have a mate?
[Doc] Yeah. They're not all terrible. Firebird is decent and the ones on the subseed seem okay. Wait, what?
[NK] Hm? -pauses in his next bite, glancing at them-
[Doc] Did you have relations with your NOTCH Nk? That's different...
[NK] ...? What?
[NK] -squint-
[NK] I had nothing but ire for him from the start.
[Doc] And afterwards...?
[NK] ... I blinded him mostly and would have likely ended his pathetic life if he hadn't fled like a coward? - crunch-
[NK] -twists shards into a necklace, eyeing it a bit-
[Doc] Oh... so you lost track of yours? Hmm.
[Splender] - I'm sure we can find him and make everything right!
[NK] Oh no, I knew his location. It was a bit after that fight that Mix... spawned? Came to be? -slight shrug-
[NK] I'm certain he's dead now, or atleast, very, very hurt... -snaps a bit of overlong shard off and nibbles on it-
[Doc] Do you think those events had any relation? That's a weird coincidence.
[NK] Not a clue. Likely? Her powers directly related to the stuff that happened though, so...
[Splender] - We need to find out for sure! We should go looking for your NOTCH!
[Doc] How odd... You know, brine powers often relate to the powers of the person who hurt them and helped make them what they are.
[NK] I'm afraid I've not heard of that before.
[Doc] It happened hardcore to me...
[NK] The cold one.. I can see that. .. Do you want? -offers the finished necklace to doc-
[Splender] - Was there ever a way to summon your NOTCH?
[Doc] Reaches out for the jewelry and rubs it lightly in their fingers- Thank you, it's lovely. But, No! I mean... the person who broke my hearts, they were... well they had a liquidy form. One of my powers is being able to melt things down into component pixels. His freezing counters that.
[NK] Be a total dick and yelling fight me always worked. But that was just being petty for shits and giggles.
[Doc] Snorts out a laugh - I respect that.
[NK] Yeah. Was entertaining to see how pissed he'd get.
[Doc] So what mellowed you out? You don't seem like the scrappy type.
[NK] Mix. Definitely Mix. Raising a child is enough to mellow out anyone, I think.
[Doc] Perhaps. I know it takes a lot of time and energy. And a minimum of two people to keep them safe and out of trouble.
[Splender] - Not always! Brother has pretty much kept all the pasta's under control by himself!
[Doc] Well... he has a more discipline-oriented approach. And the child pastas are still kind of adults, in their own ways.
[Splender] Is distracted by a white and green flitter entering the area as it flits above them- Oooh, pretty
[Nk] -he's making another thing, nice-
[Splender] - NK... Are you sure there's no way to find your NOTCH?
[NK] I mean, considering he's likely dead? Yeah.
[Nk] -crunch-
[Doc] Such is life. Seen any lightfoots around lately?
[Splender] - Well Doc has brought others back from the dead...
[Doc] Stops- I'm not sure I want to make a habit of that Splender!
[NK] Seen a bunch go toward your castle the other day... Don't know why though...
[Doc] Oh great... someone else I've pissed off. I'll likely find all my furnaces empty or something equally aggravating.
[Nk] I'd say everything moved a block to the right, but that's.. a bit extra, even for them. Probably moved things around in chests or something... -crunch-
[NK] .. Hm.... *apply water shard, bend.
[Doc] Well that's no big deal, it's all horribly disorganized anyway.
[Splender] - So what exactly is the relationship between you, Mix, and your NOTCH...
[NK] Hm... I wanted to murder him, she loved us both dearly, I had to try and not kill him. He acted all high and mighty when he could barely see.
[NK] .. The peace was nice.
[Doc] So why did Mix have all those shards in her chest anyway? Do you know?
[NK] .. I.. Huh. I'm as clueless as you on that. Maybe it had to do with when the seed basically self destructed.. Or something. All I remember was.. Well... A lot of pain. *distant expression
[Doc] Why did the seed self-destruct?
[NK] ..... Virus, maybe? It's.. Still fuzzy.
[Doc] Well, your group seems to be clean, things could be worse. Does Mix have gaps in her memory too? Or she just doesn't like to talk about it?
[NK] I know a lot of her earlier childhood is missing... Probably for the best. -crunch- Other than that, I'm not sure. Last I saw her she was full of life and didn't have an enderman and a chicken following her, nor a dragon...
[Doc] She told me Benny just started following them, I don't know where she picked up Sky though. And the dragon, well, Sky carried their egg all over the place until it hatched.
[NK] .. Oh. That's interesting. I'm certain that chicken isn't really a chicken though... Not sure what it really is though..
[Doc] Really? It does seem rather intense...
[Splender] - Well it does seem smarter than most other chickens...
[NK] Yeah. It gives me the heebie jeebies.
[Splender] - Hmmmm, I could try reaching it psychically, but that would probably hurt it...
[Doc] We could always ask TLOT or Cp if you think a more aggressive approach is called for?
[NK] I dunno. It doesn't seem aggressive to her, but it's pretty fighty toward anything else... *shrug
[NK] -has made a diadem with silver and a few shards. actually seems confused how he'd managed to do it-
[Splender] - NK... What was your NOTCH like? As in not just towards you, but others as well
[Doc] See now you made me curious.
[NK] I.. Hm... -thoughtful expression as he stows the diadem- I suppose he was stern to his people. I'd say he was downright awful to the ones that weren't testificates though. *scoff
[Doc] Well that's rude as fuck. He didn't even like Steves or Alexes?
[NK] ... *snorts
[NK] -muffles his laughter with his hand-
[NK] -clearly thinking of something-
[NK] I don't think he liked Alexander, but he kind of had to respect him....
[Splender] - What are you laughing about?
[NK] When.. When Mix was still a lil tot, he left her unsupervised.... -snort- and Alexander beat the shit out of him for it-t-tttt... -laughter-
[Nk] -hes just laughing at the memories now-
[SPlender] - Sounds like the first time Jeff had to watch Sally!
[Doc] It seems like your seed was a bit more dangerous for kids then we're used too as well.
[NK] Yeah-- it.. haha... It is...
[NK] I mean, I haven't seen a single dinosaur here beyond the ones I brought...
[Doc] I understand there are mods for that sort of thing, but I'm wary of adding stuff like that to the server itself, it can make it unstable and cause chunk errors. It's less invasive to just bring in the individual items we need. Though there's some circumstantial evidence that something like the lightfoots exsisted on TLOT and Steve's seed once upon a time.
[NK] Yeah, they seemed.. Unsure of what to think of the bone armor. -stretches a bit and makes a few loops of gold-
[NK] Surprised they haven't chosen a chief, yet.
[Doc] Well there's nothing to stop us hunting around on their seed to see if there are any left. Or digging for fossils. What, the lightfoots usually have a chief?
[NK] Mhmm. Usually. Sometimes there's a diarchy. That was a hell of a time... -distant look- But normally it's a chief. I'm thinking they haven't thought about it since they usually make the ceremonial showy stuff out of feathers and rare materials... Maybe in time...
[Doc] So since I know I pissed them off, should I offer them something in return for a treaty?
[NK] Nah, you're fucked dude. They hold grudges forever. If you can apologize to whoever you wronged you might be good? A good offer is helping them make a home though, they're shitty at building.
[Doc] Greeeaat. I'll keep that in mind. Should I be focused on rounding them up and relocating them?
[NK] Honestly, the Cloud Runners are more forgiving, but they don't tend to forget.... Uh.. It depends on what you want. Help one start building and others'll usually show up.
[Doc] Cloud runners? What are they like?
[NK] Ahhh.. Kind of prideful? ...Very prideful, actually.
[Doc] I meant physically. I presume they fly?
[NK] Oh! Yeah. Definitely.
[Splender] Is happily humming along-
[NK] Kind of like a bird, but a reptile. Neat shit....
[Doc] And intelligent like the lightfoots?
[NK] Yeah. Highly. Made them super snobby, unfortunately.
[Doc] And all of this went down with your server? It's kind of a shame really.
[NK] I mean, I have eggs, but their original culture is kapoot. Whatever's in their code is all they have to go on.
[Doc] Doesn't matter. It sounds like they're extinct otherwise. If you have eggs, it seems right to spawn them someplace and give them a chance to live.
[Nk] True, true.... I should go and do that.
[Splender] - Doctor... Shouldn't we be going
[Doc] Yes. You're right, but... Actually? Can I have one of each?
[Nk] one of each? Uhh... -theres a mall moment before nk has put a blend of eggs into docs hands
[Doc] Takes them gently and sets them in the grass before packing them into a shulker box and stowing them.
[Exeggutor] Is super interested and sniffs around all the eggs.
[Doc] It was nice seeing you Nk. Thank you for the jewelry too. Don't be a stranger. Come on Splender, let's go.
[Splender] Begins following Doc again-
[Doc] heads around Lie's property and past her greenhouse-
[Stevenson] -is standing on the path nearby with ryan on his shoulder-
[Doc] Waves- Hey Stevenson! And you have Ryan. How the baby?
[Stevenson] oh hey ryan has been good
[Doc] Any words yet?
[Splender] Is using one of his bells to entertain the small dragon-
[Doc] Me and Splender were just headed out to visit Kore. It's a huge Testificate town.
[Stevenson] no not yet
[ryan] -his three head are following the bell-
[Stevenson] that place sounds interesting
[Doc] Okay, you can come with. I'm just delivering a bunch of items they don't have yet.
[Stevenson] well then lead then way if we are going
[Doc] Okay, - xe leads them down into the winding tunnels and pauses at the iron door to fumble with the lever- I hate these things... they slam too quickly for my tastes with a button.
[Splender] Just teleports inside-
[Stevenson] -just goes in after doc- whoa this place is huge and made of a lot of gold
[Doc] Yeah, Cp built it. - xe casts a glance at the bed in the far corner of the room before fiddling with one of the consoles
-The offensive pod stirs and "looks" down at them-
[Stevenson] why? -ryan looks up at the plant but stays on stevenson shoulders-
[Splender] Is just patiently waiting-
[Doc] Because he tried to keep Lie trapped in it. The rest of us hounded him and convinced him it was a shitty idea. - Xe opens a portal and motions for them to go in it-
[Splender] Steps through, looking around as soon as he's on the other side-
[Stevenson] -steps cautiously though-
-There's a wave of heat as the sun of the desert falls on them. On the next chunk the high walls of a city are clearly visible, with a garland of Lie's black offensive plants around the top edges. -
[Doc] Starts walking towards the city.
[Stevenson] -follows doc- what are we in another seed just like that
[Splender] Is taking in the sights like a tourist-
[Doc] It's a seed within a seed. The consoles in the cage are each running their own copy of Minecraft with their own saved files.
[Doc] This world is where TLOT and Steve came from.
[Stevenson] werid -ryan is trying to look in every direction at once it could also most work if he had one more head-
[Testificates] There's some peeping over the walls and some commotion within as the people stir and talk and the normal routines of the city are put on hold for their visitors.
[Sprlhm and Cherie] Are waiting at the gates- Doctor!
[Doc] Hey! Sorry to pop in unexpected, but you know I promised to bring you a bunch of new stuff. Look who I brought! This is Splender. And our friend Stevenson and his babby Ryan.
[Stevenson] -waves-
[Testificates] Are peeking and clustering as they stand at the gates-
[Sprlhm] Come in! - Ushers and Doc follows-
[Splender] Waves as well-
- The main way leads up to a fountain gurgling with black liquid and protected by more of the little offensive pods. There's a surge of good energy that fills Splender and Doc both as the love of the Testificates dials up their personal brine energies and the small circutry of Splenders digital part-
[Cherie] Is staring up at Splender in amazement-
[Stevenson] -is looking around at everything-
[Splender] Breaths deeply- Oh that is delicious
[Sprlhm] At Stevenson- Are you related to Father Steve? You look a lot like him.
[Stevenson] no I am just a different steve from a different seed
[Sprlhm] Looks a bit confused -
[Doc] Just like there are different Herobrines, there are other Steves, and Alexes too. Doesn't make yours any less special though.
[Doc] At Stevenson- Steer clear of the fountain too, that stuffs dangerous if your mate is nowhere around
[Splender] Is bouncing on his heels-
[Stevenson] got it
[ryan] -climbs on top of Stevenson's head-
-The square is full of Testificates gawking and smiling. There are children too. Amusingly some of them are wearing handmade play costumes to make them look like TLOT, Steve and even Lie and Cp. One is even in some red cat pajamas.
[Doc] Has opened hir inventory and is passing around stacks of vegetables, fruit and cheese that's not native to vanilla minecraft.
[Sprlhm] Is taking notes and planting instructions for a bunch of seeds.
[Stevenson] -notices how close they look like to the other in the costume and kind of just stares at them like they are crazy-
[Testificates] Part a little bit for a rather enthusiastic couple making their way through the crowd.
[ryan] -flies of Stevenson's head and starts doing circles around a small around around him-
[Testificate pair] Both kiss passionately before the bubbling black fountain and then touch the stuff at the same time-
[Stevenson] so why are trying to make yourselves look like other?
[Testificates] Seem a bit confused -
[Child] we want to be big and strong like our Gods and Goddesses!
[Stevenson] doc if you said to avoided the black stuff why did that couple touch it?
[Doc] Hmmm? Oh, well you answered your own question. It's a couple. It's safe if you have a lover. Just watch.
[Testificate pair] Both tremble for a moment and then grab at eachother as if they needed the others kisses like air. One sweeps the other into the air and they race into the nearest house with wild abandon as the one being carried pulls at their carriers clothing.
[Testificates] Good natured chuckling from the crowd.
[Cherie] It was a gift from our healing goddess Lilinthia. She and the Doctor and our Lord Herobrine set up the fountain for all of us to share in it's heat.
[Stevenson] so the liquid makes those who touch it want to have sex and I correct?
[Doc] Oh yes. It makes our whole body cry out for whoever you love the most romantically. It hurts like hell if you're single. Like being kicked in the cubes repeatedly.
[Stevenson] -flinches at the thought of getting kicked in the cubes- yea I don't want to feel that at all
[Cherie] It makes love-making so wonderful. Our people were drunk upon it when we discovered the pod in the desert until we were all exhausted from copulating and blissfully naked. It was a glorious day, when the hateful NOTCH was killed by our valiant deities.
[Doc] Gives Splender a small elbow while grinning happily. - The surge of power that's swirling around them is intense.
[Stevenson] sounds like a crazy day
[ryan] -lands on the ground near Stevenson-
[Children] Several wander over to investigate Ryan.
[Sprlhm] What an interesting little creature.
[Parents] Trust their visitors but still watch the dragon closely-
[ryan] -looks at the kids and it's heads bob out of time-
[Children] Giggles -
[Child dressed a bit like Steve] Tries to pet Ryan-
[ryan] -all three heads try to nuzzle into the hand-
[Testificate Steve] Seems super proud and the other kids look impressed.
[Doc] Laughs good naturedly- Kinda glad Cp isn't with us. He'd have a fit over the kid in the cat suit.
[ryan] -makes a soft happy rawr-
[Stevenson] why would he be mad doc?
[Doc] Because when he's being uncontrollable and awful, Lie can turn him into a little red cat. It makes him furious, but it was the only way to nerf him in the beginning.
[Sprlhm] Nods in understanding. - It is fitting that the Herobrine of War be checked in his powers by his peaceful mate, less he destroy too much.
[Stevenson] well that's one way to control someone out of control
[Cherie] He's also really cute as a cat. Our people were astounded to see the goddess enter our temple with a cat and re-emerge fresh from her passion with a burst of fragrant flowers and a handsome Herobrine at her side.
[ryan] -jumps up with the help of his wing to Stevenson shoulders again-
[Stevenson] well is different then I am use to -pets ryan-
[Cherie] Gushes at Stevenson- So tell us of your mate! Is your Herobrine as handsome as you?
[Doc] Coughs to keep from laughing-
[Stevenson] actually I am single and the brine I am related is female
[Cherie] Oh! Is she beautiful?
[Doc] She's graceful, well-endowed and extremely unique....
[Stevenson] and has more then two eyes and more then the four limbs most have so not just two legs and two arms
[Cherie] Is obviously confused-
[Doc] As I said, she is unique.
[Cherie] Puts her hands in her sleeves - I see. Our lord has such interesting comrades.
[ryan] -makes a loud rawr which dies down to what sounds like a yawn mixed with a rawr which might be because he was actually just yawning-
[Testificates] Give him some space-
[Doc] Is he tired?
[Stevenson] yea he just needs a nap its ok ryan you can sleep on my shoulders -ryan curls around on his shoulder-
[Splender] Has been observing the children, figuring out what to give them. He can feel their happy energy and has already siphoned a little off of them to prepare for what he will create. He notices the play costumes and his smile grows wider as he subtly begins working on his own magic-
[Doc] Finishes handing out the supplies and dusts hir hands. - You guys want to go see the artwork now?
[Splender] - One moment please- He spots a blank wall of a building and extends his energy towards it in a rush, with a flick of his hand materials materialize and soon a small stage is sitting there, perfectly sized for children with even a small booth to the side full of props they can use
[Testificates] Assorted oohs and ahs and some applause-
[Children] Happy cries as they rush to pick through the toys and play-
[Cherie] That was wonderful! We thank you- her and her husband both bow low-
[Doc] I love it. You're the man of the hour.
[Splender] - Oh it's nothing! Part of my job is to make children happy!
[Doc] And you're damn good at it. -pats his leg since that's mostly all xe can reach- Come on, I've been dying to show you this stuff. - Xe leads them towards the white temple facade.
-There's a strong smell of flowers as they reach the open doors and Sprlhm and Cherie show them inside. The wall seperating the room with the Patchbook from the hallway has been knocked out, but there are still lots of flowers growing on the walls and ceiling from Lie's explosion of energy. The pews have been removed and the middle part of the floor is dominated by a traditional gold summoner-
[Splender] - Oooh! Pretty!
[Stevenson] that's a lot of flowers
[Cherie] The goddess gave us so many, but they're each more beautiful then the last.
[Doc] Stands rather still and actually feels the summoner pulling from this close range. - Splender? You're getting a little of this too, aren't you? I don't know if there's a way to summon your kind, but this is a signal that should work for you now, if you're listening for it.
[Splender] - Hm? No...
[Doc] That's odd... maybe there's just too much background noise? Ah, well. I wanted to show you the garden specifically anyway.
[Splender] - Okie-dokie!
[Doc] Follows the Testificates down to the back of the building and into the large courtyard. The area is dotted with statuary and plots of crops and flowers. The largest is of TLOT and Steve. The brine looks brave and determined and his husband is swooning in his arms like the cover of a bad romance novel. Doc points out a smaller statue of Lie in a flowing robe with a little cat peeking out from under the hem.
[Splender] Giggles-
[Doc] Across from her is a staue of Cp with multiple arms, his hands holding his swords and pickaxe, a ball of fire and even one hand just giving the finger. The wither is there too, half his size and with it's back to him to physically balance the artwork
[Splender] - His wither's so small in this depiction...
[Doc] Well I think it's just artistic liscence. It's the right size in the big frieze at the foot of the garden.
[Splender] - Ah, I see
[Doc] Goes down the hill and makes a right through some trees, there's a sound of gurgling water and xe directs their vision up and forward. There's a fountain flowing from the mouth of a dragon carved into the wall in high relief. Below is a carving of Doc in a Vitruvian man pose. One hand has a potion bottle and the other a ball of lightning. The body of the dragon ratchets gracefully down from the wall to encircle the smaller figure.
[Splender] - OH LOOK! It's you Doc! That's so cool looking! But... I still haven't seen me...
[Doc] I'm getting too it. Save the best for last. Xe curves down the wall and they come to the huge frieze. The giant carving is finished and the raised parts have been rubbed with dye blobs to color it. Everyone s there, fighting the NOTCH, huge and terrible in the middle. Even Lie's pod is biting his foot at the bottom.
[Cherie] Our best artists worked on it.
[Splender] - Oooooo! THERE I AM!- Much awing is done at his own likeness
[Doc] You guys did a great job. You should have see tLOT's face when he talks about his people, he's so proud of every one of you.
[Sprlhm] Is just beaming and gives his smiling wife a happy squeeze-
[Doc] At Splender- That's not the big one of you though, they put you on the opposite wall from me. This way-
[Splender] Happily follows Doc towards the other wall-
[Doc] passes through some bushes and gestures grandly. The image of Splender is presiding over a patio of chiseled quartz blocks with comfortable benches, it's both tall and wide and spread over several blocks. Splender is serene in the center with a beatific expression and all around him are wildly intricate carved tentacles winding in celtic style knots. Some end with bells others without. It's also been rubbed with dye so his colorful suit is accurate.
[Cherie] We hope you like it. We had seen the others since and were intially unsure if you had survived.
[Splender] Happily gasps and teleports over, leaving a trail of purple sparkles behind him as he looks the image over excitedly- IT'S SO PRETTY!
[Cherie] Blinks at the sparkles- are you part Ender as well?
[Doc] It was just an adjustment. His normal tp has odd energiies that can make people woozy. Better to do as the natives do.
[Splender] Is too preoccupied with his image to have heard Cherie-
[Doc] I think he approves. He's not used to feeling so loved by pretty much everyone.
[Splender] - So much color!
[Doc] So... do you to have anything to report?
[Sprlhm] No. Just rumors. Our people have headed out in every direction to tell the other villages what's happened. Most of them seem relieved. The main opposition is from the really elderly people who kind of remember when Herobrine was more then just an old story to scare kids with.
[Cherie] And there are always a few bigots who worry that allowing the mals to pair up will somehow cause them to be violent. They don't understand that harmonizing with someone doesn't immeditely make you wonder what it would be like to use that power for control others.
[Sprlhm] The monks have been an actual presence of late too. -a bit sarcastic- Venturing down from their mountain fastness to mingle with the rest of us peasants. They seem to be searchng for something, but if it's traces of their NOTCH, I think they will be, happily, dissapointed.
[Doc] Yes. I saw his code destroyed myself. I can assure he is gone in every functional way. Would you folks like me to update the server? I think it's been a long time since that was done.
[Cherie] Is it.... dangerous?
[Doc] No. But you two are the closest we have to leaders on this side. I've already cleared it with Herobrine and Father Steve. They trust me not to error anything.
[Sprlhm] I see. -speaks with Cherie for a moment- Then we will also trust his judgement. Can we bring you anything?
[Doc] No, I just did the outer server, so I have the .jar file still on me. I'll tend to it. - Xe lays out a command block and sits down on a bench to link up with the seed and access the admin functions. Xe types for a few long moments and then looks around before hitting a final button. There's a shiver in the air and suddenly the colors all around them pop and become brighter, and more vivid. - Nice.
[Cherie] Is enchanted- Such miracles! Everything is so much more colorful!
[Sprlhm] If I may ask.... What else has changed?
[Doc] There's some new mobs, bug fixes, you can dye beds and there are a lot more blocks you guys have never seen. I think you'll really have fun decorating with the tile blocks and colored cement. Actually, these guys are brand new and they'll fit in around here wonderfully- Xe pulls out the parrot egg and spawns a bunch of the colorful birds.
[Splender] - More colors!
[Parrots] Hop happily around the plaza and flutter up into the trees.
[Doc] If you want to tame them, feed them cookies. But take care with your words. Because they apparently repeat things that they hear.
[Testificates] A few who were tending the plants wander over to look at the chirping birds-
[Bird] says- apparently repeat things-
[Doc] See?
[Splender] Whistles A cheerful tune at them-
[Parrots] Two of them repeat the tune-
[Splender] - Oh goody!
[Doc] -mischevious laugh- Can you imagine how aggravated Cp would be if I taught one of the birds the summoner poem? It's not a call I want anyone to ignore from repetition but it's an amusing thought.
[Splender] - You should do it!
[Cherie] A wise move. One should not taunt the spirit of battle and bloodshed itself.
[Doc] Yeah, agreed. He has a long history of punching me really hard when he's mad. And we've actually been getting along decently of late.
[Splender] - But would it not make everyone here happy for him to visit a bit more?
[Cherie] Oh yes! But not when he's angry.
[Sprlhm] Can we have a few more birds? If they repeat with fidelity, it would be a good way to bring news from different villages.
[Doc] Sure! - Xe does a bit of a spin and taps the egg a bunch more times so the air explodes with chirping and colorful feathers.
[Sprlhm] Snaps his fingers and some of the gawkers run to get cookies for the birds. - Thank you.
[Doc] Smiles at the tableau - I guess if there's no other business we'll be heading back. - You guys ready?
[Stevenson] we are ready
[Splender] - I'm curious, what does everyone here think of Stevie?
[Cherie] Who is Stevie?
[Doc] Cp also has a Steve. But they aren't lovers, they're brothers. Stevie is the younger.
[Cherie] What is he like?
[Doc] He's a very salt of the earth type, mostly just concerened with survival. He had a falling out with Cp and they're working to reconcile their relationship. It's complicated. I'm not sure you'll ever see him, he's not much for exploring.
[Splender] - Much more peaceful than his brother
[Cherie] That is fitting. The fire is surrounded by such cool stones to keep it from burning itself to nothing.
[Doc] Ha. I like the way you think.
[Splender] - We should bring him!
[Doc] What, Stevie? Perhaps next time we come visit. And only if he wants to come.
[Splender] - Or we could surprise him!
[Doc] You are in a naughty mood today Splender!
[Cherie] Giggles sweetly and some of the birds imitate the noise-
[ryan] -makes a soft rawring sound in his sleep-
-There's a rosy blush against the sky as the sun heads for the horizon and the stars start appearing. -
[Doc] I think we've left Pinwheel alone longer then we meant too. She's probably getting hungry...
[Parrot] Imitates the rawr-
[Splender] - Oh no! Pinwheel!
[Doc] Okay, let's head back- Xe thanks the Testificates and makes a portal back to the cage before ushering them through and closing it again. -well that was fun.
[Splender] - So much fun!
[Doc] They're good people, and I'm glad TLOT doesn't bear them any ill will. He's proving a generous and thoughtful ruler. - Xe opens the cage door to let them all out and starts walking back up the tunnels.
[Stevenson] well this was weird and different
[Doc] Chuckles- Indeed. It's why I was suprised when Cp was so dismissive of the Testificates on his own seeds. They can be a bit naive at times but they're good people for the most part.
[Splender] Teleports to the surface since he can't walk through the tunnel-
[Doc] Leads Stevenson to the surface where Exeggutor is waiting as well-
[Stevenson] well I should head back home
[Doc] Thanks for tagging along. Hope you had fun!
[Stevenson] it was an experience is the best way to describe it -starts to walk back home-
[Doc] At Splender- well at least I gave him something positive to think about. He doesn't have a very high opinon of Herobrine's in general.

!!! i !!!! love these guys so much!! theyre so spectacular omfg !
also i tried to do this once already ! and i was very far into a very long info dump about these guys and i was ALmost done ,,, and my browser crashed, but im doing it again anyway because i need it (i might make typos and sound like a bum jus btw)
sean bonnette and benjamin gallaty started releasing musci together in 2005 after having worked together in a coffeeshop in pheonix arizona - sean was 18, and the buds released their debut album “candy cigarettes and cap guns” and have since released four other full albums, a handful of singles, two eps, and a compilation
sean has a bachelors degree in social work, and has always been working in homeless shelters, volunteering with youth programs, and trying to give a voice to one of the largest groups of stigmatized humans on our planet
candy cigarettes and cap guns was released when sean (30 y/o) was only 18 - and he has since recieved lots of negative feedback on offensive content in ajj’s older songs - to this, sean apologizes but says , quite frankly , that he was a yung edgy boi at that time in his life, and even if his music was offensive then , it represents a time in his life and hes not going to let its content discount that relevance
this is similar to how ajj changed their name from “Andrew jackson jihad”, sean and ben publicly decided to stop using the old band name because they aren’t muslim and have to right to use the term jihad as a part of an aesthetic - neither of the guys expected ajj to get so big, and andrew jackson jihad was adequate for a yung edgy boi garage band
ajjs vast discography centers around themes of social anxiety, privilege, depression, mania, loving how horrible life is, making the most of nothing, being nothing, and how wonderful our shitty planet is
ajj is considered folk-punk, and to a certain degree i agree with that, but to me music genres are irrelevant, and often times musicians fail to fit a category
the idea of organizing music by genres is restricting to a musician and songs and music grow as people do. in an interview with verbicide, sean said that he acknowledges ajj’s influence on “folk punk” but how the identification of what folk-punk actually is is very vague and unclear, what really Is folk-punk?
ajj has albums that are way more based in folk music, and some that are way more based in punk - some songs are very poppy, some kind of choral in nature - but somehow, ajj has a very cohesive, recognizable sound that never fails to impress and comfort me
this is in part to sean’s wonderful lyrics, they are so very very raw and uncut - he is incredibly relatable while staying poetic, and i admire that So Much. his use of metaphor in his lyrics has alwasy been apparent, but even more so in his more recent albums, and his political commentary songs are more prevalent in older songs - but they stay SO RE l AT a b LE !! every time i listen to ajj, i feel so whole and accepted and like im listening to my deepest internal thoughts and feelings in the form of beautiful lyrics and entrancing music
when asked if sean’s lyrics are a reflection of a darkness inside of him, he usualyl replies by saying that hes no darker than anyone else is - he just has a way to express and expel that darkness. after the release of knife man, sean was asked if his emotional songs were about his past and what he’s been through as a person, and hes replied by saying that a lot of what he sings about is stuff that hes seen through his job, and learned about through people he’s met and interacted with.
shortly before christmas island was recorded, sean’s grandfather passed away. his grandpa had lived with him from the time he was 13 tot he time he was 18, and he was a very major male role model in his life. christmas island has lots of imagery around death, and a lot of the songs on the album personify grief and death. sean has said that christmas island is an album about “pre-grief” meaning the way that people feel bad about death and grieve loses before theyve even happen, just beause they know theyre coming. sean’s grandfather’s death was not unexpected or sudden, and he died very happily - surrounded by all of his grandchildren, and the feeling of knowing someone you love will die shortly is what fueled a lot of the tone of christmas island.
sean is a big big fan of 90′s hip hop, and a lot of his lyrics and writing style is heavily influenced by his favorites - aesop rock, brother lynch hung, biggie, and ol dirty bastard (seriously sean is SO Iconic)
i’ve been listening to ajj since their release of “knife man” in 2011, i could never pick a favorite album of theirs - i love each of them and theyre each incredibly important to me
their 2007 album “people who can eat people are the luckiest people in the world” gave me a completely new worldview , and showed me that the world is incredibly imperfect, and humans are incredibly imperfect, but life is so worth living, and there is still so much good amazing stuff in the world
in 2008 they released the ep “plant your roots” and in 2009 “cant maintain” - both of theses eps were the first time i had found relatable emotional music that felt so accurate to myself - it was raw, it was unapologetic, it was beautiful, and it was sad. these eps have an incredible tone, and theyre both so different (cant maintain being more light and - dare i say - playful) but still so connected and deeply rooted (pun intended ;) ) in my head as near perfect expressions of my feelings
“knife man” was released in 2011 and it came into my life at a time where i was trying to learn about myself and discover who i was, and this album guided me in such a strong positive direction - it introduced me to white privilege, taught me about forgiveness, how to be unapologetically me, but still let me stay in touch with my dark, cynical, pessimistic side of myself - knife man is somehow so negative but still so positive and i think thats how a lot of real life is, and ajj captures that incredibly well
knife man was the first ajj show i ever saw, and i will never forget how captivating sean is when he preforms, his body language and his expressions reflect so much of what he’s singing, theyre so true
in 2014 they released “christmas island” and im not gonna lie when i first heard it i really didnt like it - i thought it was too poppy, and not raw enough like how ajj usually is - it felt wrong to me. but alas, i kept listening, and i soon fell in love with this album. it is indeed poppier than their other stuff, and when it came out in may of that year, i didnt really want to like it that much - and so i avoided it, and once Taylor Swift’s super poppy 1989 came out that october, i avoided it Even Harder because i felt like 2014 would be the year of great musicians selling out to labels to gain hits. eventually, i let myself sink into christmas island - i allowed myself to like it, and boy o boy did i fall in love. i saw the show and i cried. the album seamlessly ties together themes from older albums - optimism, death, unrest, self-loathing - but it introduces a new style to seans words - theyre less direct, less blunt, less in-your-face , he starts using metaphors that dont make sense the first time you listen, his lyrics take on a new type of poetry on this album - and its beautiful
christmas island is softer, its more about introspection and knowing why youre the way you are - its about emotional intelligence - this album taught me how to know whats happening, and how to accept it and learn form it and let myself dream and live, despite how shitty stuff is, and i love it.
in 2016 “the bible 2″ was released, and i waited to listen to any of it until i went to see the show - i binged the album twice through right before i went to see them, and i had really really mixed feelings about it - some of the songs i didnt understand, i didnt like the sound of some of them, and i felt like they got very preachy. once i saw them play the song “small red boy” though, i was 110% hooked - it suddenly made sense to me as an album. the sound is so personal to me, and i connect with the radio static and the messy raw noise, and the lyrics take on such a poetic, innocent tone, and all the songs are equal parts inspiring, funny, and dark. i really really really truly love this album.
this is kind of just a silly extra, but in 2015 they released a single called “keep on chooglin” and i honeslty dont understand what most of the song means, but its really a bop and its poppy and upbeat and positive, and i can gather that basically to “choogle” is to be yourself unapologetically and just do your own thing and basically fucc the haters, and its a nice song to listen to if youre feeling down because the lyrics are funny and the message is bright
ajj’s discography has gotten me through some of the hardest years of my life, and have seriously, literally, kept me from killing myself on so many occasions and i am forever grateful - if i had not stayed alive until now, i would miss so much and i would throw away my life, just because i didnt feel like making it, and now i can say in full confidence that this band has ridded me of all my suicidal ideation , and if anyone is down here reading this, im gonna make an ajj “dont die” playlist that i Will post here
in 2012, ben gallaty recorded a couple songs under the name wiccan babysitter, adn then a few years later (2016) he recorded a few more under the name benjamin galaxy - he compiled these songs in 2016 onto an lp, one side being the wiccan babysitter ep and the other being the ben galaxy ep. i didnt know this was a thing until recently? which is weird? but i have listened through the lp many times - i still dont have a strong grip on what the songs mean, but i can say that the wiccan babysitter/benjamin galaxy lp is super comforting to me as well. the sound is unique and different from ajj, but it is still warm and whole feeling, and the lyrics are still relatable to me, and i want to read more about what ben wrote about and why, but im having trouble finding info on this project
im mostly done for now, it’s very late at night, and i have work tomorrow morning, but i’ll leave u with this - youre an irreplaceable human soul with your own understanding of what it means to suffer, and thats a huge bummer

Episode 2 - "I couldn't believe I heard God wrong the third time" - Sluggy
Jacob: I have no idea for the video
Me: I have an idea
Jacob: its shit
oh okay... give us a better idea before you shut mine down would you?
So for the past 2 days ever since we won the reward challenge and got the chance to get a clue to the hidden immunity idol, the info had been passed around among everyone in the tribe that it was on the beach. I was waiting for the next opportunity to search for the idol because I know everyone's gonna go for it, and today I was busy beforehand and couldn't search for it until 4 hours after the challenge. But the first day I came here God told me specifically it was at the beach and in the headlands, it just wasn't on the cliff. So i go there and search and search and i cant find it, and im about to give up...
----------
...and something falls on my lap, I open it up and here it is. The hidden immunity idol. I couldn't believe I heard God wrong the third time. HAHA! I'm so grateful for this. After all the Asians having idols in the psst seasons of survivor man.
----------
So this sucks but I have to keep this idol as hidden as possible even from my closest allies. It's gonna be a big target on my back and if its possible i dont want to use it all the way until the final time I can use it. So even though Michael and Jacob asked about it, I couldn't tell him and err I don't want to lie anymore so it's definitely tough :(
Whatever it is I have to keep humble and continue to stay under the radar.
This challenge will take a lot of confidence which I completely lack but I will do my best and everything what I am asked to. I am kinda pressuring Vilma into being the director/editor of this since I know she is into stuff like this but I might have put too much pressure. Will try to work something out better in that regard.
----------
Ginger's constant bullying of the ghost of Emils will get him into deep shit.
----------
This challenge has been a real coller coaster for me. I hate filming myself in videos but seeing the confidence Vilma (and others) have is really inspiring. We are doing "Toy" by Netta which is a pretty fun song to lipsync to. I am not the best but I am having fun with it and getting some exercise in the meanwhile. I will still undoubtebly hate any of my bits but at least I have the courage to participate and do my best.
----------
About hour of recording myself. I shall not edit it from a cringy mess into a slightly less cringy mess. Wish me luck.
----------
I do not know if it is because I am slightly slick but I am editing my clips into a more coherent structure and my stomach genuinely hurts from cringe
A week in and I received my 1st message from Dean/Dylan :D how lucky. I also have slightly more newfound time coming up in the next few days so I can spend more time building trust with Tyler, Stephen and Dean/Dylan
----------
I just saw Tyler's part in the music video. How can 1 man be that hot. Like wtf did he do to get those kinds of genetics. I'm so fucking jealous rn. This confessional will contain no actual substance, just me shit posting about how fuxking AWESTRUCK I am at this man. Go to 2:15 of our music video to see... Damn!
Right so this day was um interesting. I highly doubt i'll cover all the boring ass t but watevs. Ok SO, we had our first cheeky little game talk with Michael who much to my recent surprise is like 33 years old. pop off grandpa. Love him tho.
So we had a fun little chat about who we liked, highkey like Stephan the most but didnt want to say that cause he had already said Stephan seems distant, so i pretended i was chill with other people just to be fun :). ANYWAY, he wants to create a majority with Jacob and Dean but honestly like no, those kids r the REAL crackheads. I want to work with Sluggy and Stephan so it was a tee bit awkie for me. But i smiled and waved anyway cause thats ALL im good at. If Michael was to try and create a majority with those 4 i'd highkey flip 🤭. Dean was just... how to put this... slop, and im not having slop in my house MY APOLOGIES. While planning for the challenge he was annoying and then throughout the challenge he was annoying. OK SO i am NOT mean and this challenge is clearly AWKWARD for everyone and everyone is being out there BUT deans video... like i used two seconds of it. Im sorry my love i dont know how to introduce that pillow possession story line into the video... . I think half way through he needed a nap? and started having night terrors, geez i hope he's ok.
RIGHT anyway. I finished the video, i hope my editing and also telling everyone that they're part was really helpful and easily the best will grant me safety regardless!
O also Jacob told me the idol clue BUT i dont know whether to believe it or not
:((( so he says its at the beach, im like well what was the actual clue? was it cryptic? then he said 'you inhaled smoke and it was hidden there' wtf u mean THAT was the clue. Absolutely not, get that SLOP out of MY face. RIGHT but i looked at the beach anyway to NO PREVAIL. Michael and Jacob both told me where they looked tho ;)
Throwback to last confessional where i didnt think i was making an in roads with people, well i THINK i could be much better off now! Jacob says he only really talks to Stephan which is GOOD because i want Dean out and i thought he was close to dean. Also Jacob starting having game talk to me which was a HOOT because i thought he DIDNT like me. obviously my piercing eyes got the better of him. Im close with Stephan, Jacob, Michael and the singaporian one. OOPS thats all of the tribe but Dean.
I've been whip whop wheaving my way through these relationships as best i can and forcing myself onto people without them realising. All i need is 1 or 2 STRONG connections and ill smile :)
O also Jacob said i was hot and asked if i was single! LOVELY, amazing LOVE compliments, will use this child if need be but if he's trying to use me, sucks for him because im self conscious and DONT believe his compliments anyway.
I THINK im setting myself up in a mildly good position, just gonna be more pal'y.
I hope people LIKE me.
We gave our best but our Basic White Boy music video is totally gonna lose, and I’m taking some responsibility for that too. I knew we should’ve chosen something gayer.

here are my clips :eyes:
----------
I am not saying I am aiming for it, but I am totally aiming for most confessionals. So fun story here. Whole summer not a single time I was bitten by a mosquito. Then this survivor starts. What is survivor known for? Tropical islands with mosquitos and such. So I was riding my bicycle yesterday and sat on a bench for a bit to rest up. 5 minutes. I sat for 5 minutes on this damn bench. 7 mosquito bites all on my legs, 3-4 split. I was fuming.
Apparently that opened the pandora's box of mosquitos because I have been bitten 4 more times since them. I am full of hate.
In other news: http://prntscr.com/od5qry
This is really nice to see. Vilma's the best <3
----------
I CAN'T STOP TYPING IN ALL CAPS OUR VIDEO IS SO GOOD HOLY SHIT
----------
my life is now a meme
----------
oh wait it already was
CURRENTLY FREAKING OUT BECAUSE!!!!!!!!! IM EDITING THE MUSIC VIDEO BUT LIKE I HAVE SUCH LIMITED TIME!!!!! I ALSO HAVE TO BE FORTY FIVE MINUTES AWAY FROM MY CURRENT LOCATION IN AN HOUR AND THAT MAKES I ONLY HAVE FIFTEEN MINUTES TO EDIT WHICH I DEFINITELY CANNOT FINISH IN TIME. ALSO HAVING HUGE FUCKING PROBLEMS BECAUSE MY OLD METHOD OF DOWNLOADING VIDEOS IS NOT WORKING!!!!!!!!!!! AND IM REALLY FREAKING OUT ABOUT IT LOL SO IM SCREEN RECORDING OUR VIDEOS BUT I ALSO DON'T HAVE THE ACTUAL AUDIO FOR AMERICAN BOY AND IM STRUGGLING TO DOWNLOAD IT I MIGHT NEED TO BUY IT ON MY PHONE LIKE FUCK FJLKDJASLKFAJDSKL THIS IS SO DIFFICULT AND IM TRYING TO KEEP IT TO MYSELF INSTEAD OF WORRYING MY TRIBE MATES BUT OMG WHY I HATE MY LIFE
I feel so guilty that I didn’t help my tribe with this challenge, I really hope we win! If we don’t win honestly I will probably just tell them all they can vote me off- I hate to go without a fight but they all participated in the video and I feel like it would be the fair thing to do. Hopefully we don’t have to worry about that and my tribe wins!
---------
Me putting my life on the line for my TRIBE? Must be the drugs this is not really in my character but I feel really bad and want them all to thrive
I spent my entire day doing that music video and I'm gonna cry if we lose and go to tribal again ughhhhhhhhhh. I really tried my best and am super proud of my tribe mates too they did a great job. I really like the video.
Yes! Another win for Ala Mai! I'm loving this tribe and loving this game! I want to get to the merge with as many of my tribe mates as possible because we all have very similar timezones so I need that in my game.
I am so happy we won the challenge ! I offered the Toy idea but then couldn't participate myself because of real life reasons ugh. My tribe tho did an AMAZING JOB and Im glad we chose Netta
---------
Ok so just now I have realized these are not the during-game published confessionals. So I'm gonna confess: I was so fucking nervous not to be able to participate in the video challenge. I wanted to take part and it's risking eviction if we lose. On the other hand, I kinda knew I would be fine even if we lost. First, I offered the song for the tribe. Second, my alliance with Vilma and Veni is controlling the tribe, I have Clash from the side and we got majority. So I'd probs be fine anyway. Glad we won tho !
Uh I’ve been so busy for the past few days I can’t socialise and am very worried
Day 4:
Video editing challenge.
This will be fun.
Make a music video.
Tribe chat is just going in circles with choosing a song.
Song is finally chosen, Lonely Dance.
Its a strange song, would have prefered something more campy or darker but oh well.
I dont have time to do a video edit, i also want to take a back seat of this challenge.
Searched for idol,
No luck but i now have a good list of where to look narrowed down to 3 locations.
Think im going to trust Tyler more.
http://prntscr.com/odkz7k
----------
idk if i made a confessional about this but holy shit Lord is in this
---------
I realise I spam so many messages to people at once. Shoutout to Vilma for always replying (although slowly) to every single one
----------
Quiet day today, barely spoke to people. Please no swap.
Well I'm sad to go to tribal this early, but it's probably needed. I didn't like my participation in this challenge but I was really short on time, it sucks but oh well, at least Ruthie told us to vote her and hopefully it isn't a hard vote
Whew! Thank god we won immunity. I honestly think we tried so hard so it felt nice to be recognised for that (and by we I mean those of us who actually helped out with the challenge......).
Vilma worries me a bit. I really like her and she gives off a great energy but I feel like she could use that to lead a big alliance further down the line. I definitely won't be targeting her anytime soon and hopefully I can get in that alliance at some point, but she's someone to keep an eye on.
Hello this round was boring
we had shitty judges yet again woo
we lost immunity woo
now we have to look like bad people and vote ruthie out because shes sacrificing herself woo
WE WON!!!!!! NO TRIBAL!!!!! FUCK YESSSS
And the judges were so nice to me I legit almost cried I love everyone ughhhh my heart
Music video challenges are so amazing I don't care if what placement I get anymore we made that video and that's all I care about really
I hope we're swapping soon!
Okay so whew I had tribal for this game and I was nommed in a BB game so it's been a busy day today! I thought I might play my idol no matter what tonight, but Ruthie has been going through some stuff and volunteered to be voted out. Unfortunately it is uneventful for the viewers and for the hosts but I hope it is nice and easy and I can save my idol for later. Also, tribe swap anyone? Idk I haven't really clicked with anyone yet...Wow my social game sucks I'm sorry hosts, give me comps I can win, ty.

Episode #9: "we're here for the messy bitch game play right" - Annabelle
Tribal was f*ckin wild. Like didnt see that coming and Nicole we literally never talked so dont come for me. 👏
So far Nicole’s attempt hasnt affected anything. And plus Sharky took more of the heat and more blood on his hand and I did for coming up with the Nicole vote. Like im scream team to the end but like it works better for me if people dont see me as a huge threat right now unlike Sharky. I think i might be in a good spot and with an advatage with this immunity hopefully i can win.
Well... I refuse to be booboo the fool right now. I have conflicting information currently about who voted me so guess what? I am not gonna trust anyone LMAO. Everyone is denying and pointing the fingers at others and its fucking pissing me off. Like just own up to voting me so i can have a clear target my fucking god. Like goodbye see you soon!
from my confessional cause i just went off in it LOL about the last tribal:
i know brian and sharky did not vote me
nate and bryce are being fishy
maynor seems non exsistant
keaton is literally opening his big mouth and getting himself in more trouble
i trust anna enough
and nick thinks he is "iconic" for an idol play
like boi
con-fucking-gratulations that you can do something many have done before you
Like, im so done with these people, just let me play my idol in peace smh
So I basically threw this challenge. I just put myself for most of the positives and I put Keaton for most of the negatives. With a few random answers sprinkled in. I get so nervous about really trying on Touchy Subjects because Im worried about revealing my alliances and stuff. This way I just look cocky. And Keaton and I are already on bad terms so me putting him for the negatives might piss him off but probably not anyone else. Ugh
ok so me snapping and voting matt is really annoying KJFHDSAKJFDHS idk why i did that! i was crazy back then... so current thinking is that me/matt/keaton voted matt. and then nicole did keaton and everyone else did nicole. i dont think anyone suspects me but like they woudlnt tell me if they do FJKASDHFKJ apparently matt thinks that nathan did it and anna thinks that it was keaton and maynor and im just like :| FSAJDHFKD. also this comp is about to ruin me like my answers are def gonna make ppl hate me and plus i wrote myself for some good ones which i never do but idk im just really feeling myself so cant wait for the crushing weight of reality to knock me down a peg or two when i get like "next voted out" "doesnt deserve to be here" AFJKSDFHKAJ but maybe not... anyways i recently got obsessed with shakira again like.. im thriving
youtube
youtube
https://i.imgur.com/5o6sz3j.png when i tell u i screamed JKDFASHKJAD
Okay so Touchy Subjects ALWAYS blows up my game. Like I got all the ones that make people target you. Running the Game. Biggest Snake. Physical Threat. I even somehow managed to get "Trust the Most" and "Best Liar". HOW!? And now I'm super worried because if I wasn't on everybody's radar before I sure am now. And I have no idea who I can trust after those rogue Matt votes. I even feel slightly sketched out by Nick. He's acting...weird. And he keeps telling everyone there is a war between me and Keaton. Which I guess is sort of true because Keaton is throwing my name out there. And obviously I would rather him go.
everyone is so extra JKDAHSKFJ matt making a post about how the ppl who are lying and saying they didnt vote him are personally effecting him are terrible like.. ok sorry for not exposing myself get over it u got 3 votes one of which were ur own and maybe if u were more active and didnt reply with one word responses no matter how hard i tried to get u to speak i wouldnt have thrown the vote on u. im just like so over his entitledness that ppl confess to him like who do u think u are KJFHADKJFDH. i feel like maybe im being too mean so if matt reads this after the game im sure ur just in ur feelings or w/e and u did say u had personal stuff going on but like thats not an excuse to go on tirades in the tribe chat when no one but u cares.
keaton is the worst person ive ever met (and i know zach :s) weird of him to choose white ppl saying the n word as his hill to die on but um i got the cannon ready to aim and hes going :airplane: to jury.
OK, so basically Annabelle wins immunity! Good for her, but she's literally not doing enough for me to feel beyond happy for her kjHD... like she's nice and I like her, but at the end of the day, I really don't think she's doing much to propel herself and she's just getting kinda lucky... considering the first and now second immunity have been somewhat luck based... ya....
Keaton's the name being thrown into the mix already (it's only 9:11pm), and I really am fine with that this time around! I like him, but I think he's just someone who can easily go now and it not be bad for me in the future. He's already thrown out Sharky's name and basically called out Sharky to his face, so I'm kinda shaking in my booties. As long as it ain't me, I'm happy enough to listen, but I just don't want any big surprises like the Matt votes, again.
Sharky has been thrown out as the biggest threat in this game right now, and while I think it's very apparent to everyone, I can't have him going anywhere right now. No fucking way. I love the shark man. He's my favorite... he cannot go anywhere... I need him!! So buh-fucking-bye, Keaton! I may like you, but it's not enough to keep you.
Keaton is trash.
Let me elaborate on my previous confessional. So first Keaton tries to call me out for mentioning his name which I didn't do (I did admit to it to save the drama so thats partially on me) but he tries to call me out in public after the vote. Gross. Then after the challenge he starts gunning for me hard. He wants to claim I was doing the same but I wasn't gunning for him very hard. Because i didn't care if he went. He wasn't an ally but he wasn't a threat either. until he started trying to tear me down. Also let's be clear this all started because EVERYONE thinks he's rude and annoying. Then he tries to come for me in pms calling me out for spreading lies. Which again I NEVER DID. So I straightened him out on that. Then he tries to do the "If I don’t get you out now I never will and then we all lose." which is BULLSHIT. Don't get mad and angry with me just because I'm playing better than you. CHILDISH. Then in the tribe chat he says "As a player he can burn. As a person he's enjoyable." IS HE TRYING TO MAKE ME HATE HIM!? First of saying I can burn makes me want to really drag him. Also bro you and i don't talk you don't know shit about me as a person. You did that just to feed this "Feud" thats going on. STFU. Bye. Whichever one of us goes I'm glad I won't have to talk to his KIRBY LOOKING ASS anymore. I wish Marie had stayed.
Okay I can't lie I'm super nervous about this vote. I just don't trust anyone. I'm talking to Annabelle now and was like "I'm down to vote for anybody" because I'm not sure where she's at and I want her to know I am a vote for her.
Well. Good thing is that i wasnt dragged with with what Nicole said which is good with me. I didnt get any touchy subject which is also great. My two best allies Sharky and Keaton both did which means they’ll be targeted before I do. Which is awesome. Me and Nathan dont want to see Keaton go so we got Annabell and Bryce to be with us for a 5 person voting block thats going after Matt. Thats right, Matt is going home. Keaton plan was to try and distract Sharky and fight with him and have both of their names on the chopping block. This means that Matt wont see this blindside happening. And if Sharky has an idol, he’ll waste it cuz he won’t be getting any votes. Its gonna sbe wild af. Be ready.
Its been very quiet this morning. The plan has been set so im hoping that nothing else shatters the plan. The idol search doesnt like me as it likes Nick. Only thing i found was an advantage for next immunity which was an extra point butnit was touchy subject so i kinda threw it cuz said my name for the ones i felt where really bad. And i want to give a shout out for host Drew. You are an amazing and cool person.
OK, so Nathan has been going behind me and Sharky's back to target Matt... and I'm just shook to my fucking core.... bless Annabelle's big heart for telling Sharky because it gave us some room to snap hard. I know Matt has an idol, and I cannot wait for him to pull it out at tribal. I think that Nathan is thinking very short term and thinking him not telling me and Sharky is just some move he can make on his own, but as the Touchy Subjects' results showed us, Nathan thinks he's running the game but Sharky is actually doing it. Getting this info... what a fucking legend...
Annabelle doesn't want to be screwed because of this whole situation so Sharky wants to avoid voting Nathan out but I lowkey don't care. Nathan keeping me out of the conversation makes me lose all trust in him. I know I'm not the target, but it doesn't change the fact that he's trying to run the game behind my back. It's not going to work, sir. It won't.
Ok... I'm angry, but I'm going to have to control that anger and turn it into making the best decision for my game and that will be to work with Matt and Sharky till the end.
Brace yourself this is going to be a LONG ONE. So last night I basically went to Anna and tried to save my ass because I really haven't been sure how genuine our alliance was because of our history together. She basically kept saying she was in a tough spot and this and that and so I outright asked her if she was considering voting for me. And she was like absolutely not. Which is such a relief. HOWEVER! She confesses that Nathan has created a secret plan to vote out Matt. He specifically told everyone not to tell me and Brian about it. EXCUSE ME? Aren't we in an alliance dude? So thats really pisses me off. But supposedly they have the majority for this plan. So that means I don't have to worry about myself as much. But I don't want Matt to go. Especially after this proved that he's one of the only ones I trust. So I'm thinking out of 9 votes we have 3 we can maybe use the steal a vote or something to try and get a majority. CUT TO THIS MORNING. I tell Brian about this secret plan and Brian tells me Matt has a freakin idol!!! So now we can use his idol and even if there are 5 votes left Matt/Brian/Myself control that vote then. Now the tough part...I need the vote to stay on Keaton because if it goes to anybody else Anna is going to think I screwed her over. And I promised her that her telling me wouldn't bite her in the ass. I also need this to stay TOP SECRET because if anyone finds out I leaked the plan they are going to come after me and I love Matt but I don't want to destroy my game to save him. So we need to have Matt use his idol and all 3 of us need to vote for Keaton.
God these people. I am VERY sure I am getting votes tonight and it's ok. Why? Cause I have an idol fuck these cunts. If not the WOOO love a minority!
i'm playing a super dangerous game right now but it's ok hopefully it works out we're here for the messy bitch game play right and i also just like play better in chaos so let's keep it that way once the game gets boring people will think of me.
youtube
Y'all I'm feeling real shitty about this week. I still feel super in danger. i feel like everyone is lying to my face. But I'm also worried for Matt. Luckily he has an idol so he'll be safe but the fact that he's catching votes at all is concerning. I hope it's Keaton going out but you just truly never know. This could be my time.
So it seems Matt might be an option for the vote but the questions I have are:
Do I trust Matt enough to tell him he’s getting votes?
Am I willing to make an early move?
How will this will effect me moving forward?
And when thinking between Keaton and Matt... I think I know my decision…
The shit hit the fan. Somehow Nick knows the hidden real plan that it was going to be Matt tonight. Keaton keeps lying to Bryce that he’s doing Sharky but Bryce is the number we have to have majority over Matt. Keaton is being sketchy kinda. Hopefully the plan goes according and Matt goes because last time he was doing a witch hunt for those 2 votes. Im going to be drinking at tribal tonight. Shit is too stressful.
Keaton is idoled out in a 6-3 vote.

MAYA I TRUSTED YOU
WHAT WOULD WILL POWERS SAY
ok he'd probably be like ‘hehe; guess I'm falling further into obscurity thats cool i was never amazing in the first place’
-
“theres only one!”
...that is rare
-
“i traded my watch to my kooraheenese friend! it plays the steel samurai theme when it goes off!”
I SMELL A CHEKOVS GUN
-
“it sounds just like the steel samurai theme”
“no it doesn't!”
mayas right, it doesn't sound like the steel samurai's theme.
it sounds BAD.
seriously i feel like my soul is physically rejecting it
-
put your arms akimbo at me again young lady and ill push you into your magic soul pool.
-
“that whole séance thing makes trials completely different”
meh
speaking of trials, we’re back to trials! ya–– i dont want to deal with nahyuta
-
“you have to pitch your terrible crossover!! i won't let you down”
as much as i disapprove of the crossover let it be known that phoenix is a sweetie pie.
-
“The sacred murder dagger was used to murder someone?!?!??! BLASPHEMY!!!”
-
“The lowest level of hell; the Hell of Tickling”
IM KINKSHAMING KOOORAHEENISM
-
“They shall not escape on their /redtext/ Freedom Express today!”
she did it yaaaaayy!
-
U R DIARHOEA!!! KOORAHEEN!!!
well i
i cant argue....
-
oh god no t voice acting again
-
LOL YOU CAN SKIP IT AHAHHAHHA
AND THE DANCE TOO HJDSJSFAKJ
guess its not *that* important eh
-
the entire court just called phoenix a shithead.
i mean people say “Polkhunka” when theyre surprised, and the term is “polkhunan”. so yeah. either hellion, or shithead. nice.
-
phoenix: this makes no sense
me: ooh i cant wait for the bullshit excuse!!
-
Well ill be damned to tickle-hell. Rayfa’s a television aerial.
-
oh i see how they did that. i guess spirit visions have steady-cam?
-
.........he ran right into it
dude why
-
i just love this. “yes he ran directly at the killer, to fight them! with his arms flailing in terror!! it might look stupid and fake but actually it’s kooraheen’s biggest martial art, RonDeliteFu!”
-
every time Rayfa does her hand-flinging-out pose i mistake her sash for a stick and i keep thinking she’s a muppet
-
“we can’t let the special fires go out, so we make sure to remove the glass around them every year on top of a window mountain so that a woman can um...... walk around it i guess.”
-
i hate to admit it but these stupid pond vision things are really stumping my blind ass
-
i stg pohlkunka is the stupidest sounding made-up expletive ive ever heard
id rather heard cowabunga every time something shocking happens for godssakes
-
“wow he really does care about ema”
hey show dont tell lol
“i cant believe he's come to understand their value”
uhhh well
they stated that they still hold investigations despite their magic pool parties, so uhhhhhhh yeah???? forensic investigators are usually pretty helpful??
-
since Sadmad’s catchphrase appears to be ‘putrid’, i keep reading ‘purification rite’ as ‘putrification rite’
-
i cant believe they did a “what if... (EXTREME CLOSE UP ZOOM) PLOT TWIST?!”
-
STOP SAYING PUTRID
-
oh hey its dirty hobo man! ...also i guess the ‘sexy pan up shot’ is for every new character :/
-
hobo rangers go...
-
...Nahyuta named him A’nohn Ihmus. A’nohn Ihmus.
Well that just cements my idea that Kooraheenians are just a bunch of Americans that stole a landmass and made up a phony baloney culture.
It has been confirmed that they are legitimately just taking english words and ‘kooraheenifying’ them.
-
“i used my binoculars to spy on the rite at the inner sanctum”
A’nohn is just as perverted as his namesake from Tuhmbl’r
-
“Feh. I knew you were a fool...”
Cue Franziska crashing her plane into the court room to yank on Sadmad’s braid to scold him for taking her word.
-
“shall be reborn as a witless sea urchin with barbs limited to your posterior”
ok well sadmad, sea urchins asses are next to their mouths... on the bottom of them. completely opposite to the, uh, you know. Spiky part.
So I’m not sure if that serves to strengthen your point or just make you look like a moron
i mean i guess it served to enhance sadmad’s point since phoenix’d be totally smooth and unprotected, but then he wouldn’t even reach adulthood so that sea otter wouldn’t come in too early and...
...he just said phoenix will be reborn as not only mentally slow but also physically deformed.
...uh... nice one, sadmad.
-
AND MAYA PULLED A REACHAROUND ON THE PRIEST
YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST FROM THE HOLY MONK, GUYS
-
to be fair, she could have stabbed him with a reverse-grip or not; one doesn’t have to hold their hand at any particular to perform a reach around
-
oh well at least the contradiction is incredibly obvious
-
at least hobo ranger has an excuse to use words like “bucko”
-
i hate that,,,, theres a rule against climbing the mountains during the rite. that means that there have been perverts of yore who tried to spy on the lady changing
-
hes gonna see her shad–– (sigh)
yknow, i dont think shadows are detailed enough to know which way someone is holding a knife.
also moonlight isn't that bright
-
DWAAYYYYMMMN
sasquatch’d!!
-
ok so... does happiraki mean “hello” or “hooray!” because its been used it both contexts
-
i just realized that the Plumed Punisher theme song sounds like one of those posts where someone takes a recognizable song and fucks with it in a silly way, like pitch shifting it at awkward moments or changing the key
-
i cannot believe i have to use a fucking walkthrough for this game. I'm disgusted with myself. I'm better than this.
-
“no one was allowed in there and the only way up were the stairs!”
ah yes, the unguarded stairs surrounded by people who had their heads down. in prayer.
totally impenetrable.
-
“What?! This is insane!!”
no no, phoenix, youre doing it wrong. you have to say “this”, then sadmad has to say “is” and then the judge has to yell “insaaaaane!!” because its funny when one person says one word of a sentence each!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
‘rah rah sis boom bah, fight, fight, phoenix wright!!”
um excuse me maya who gave you the right to be cute
-
why does sadmad only have one hand-guard-glove thingy
-
“my bag of bluffs” is an interesting and long way to say “ass”
-
they put... a maximum security prison... on top of their holy mountain. they put their criminals... on top of their. holy mountain.
they put a jail. in a church. in fact they put it higher up... closer to... god.
what the fuck. the fourth one. only accessible by helicopter.
who was smoking what when they decided this???
-
(sigh) mmmmm id been waiting to use that patchwork quilt
-
“hell of hangnails”
not as fetishy but still pretty–– actually you know what that sounds kinda fucked up. isn't that just kinda G rated torture anyway
-
wow that incredibly obvious lie deserves the terrible pursuit theme??
maybe its the last one (i hope)
-
“are you the rebel hunter!!??!?!?!??”
um well no, unless the rebel hunter is a criminal. jackass.
-
...cutting dirty deals with criminals, are we, sadmad?
-
“haha, the fact that the third person at the scene was a wanted criminal destroys your theory that it was the rebel hunter Keera that killed the high priest!!”
...wow... gosh i was wrong... and the fact that a wanted criminal was actually at the scene... doesn’t help me at all... because once i said that one person didi it, it couldn’t possibly be someone else... oh no... i guess it was Maya who did it... for reals... not the.... wanted criminal....
-
...hang on, his little power rangers dance was the defiant dragons dance? how... did nobody notice this?? sadmad really was colluding with criminals wasn’t he. gosh. what a trustworthy guy.
-
phoenix: oh no!! his testimony was a lie!!
oh no! the testimony that did nothing but damage your case was a lie!!!
??????
-
sadmad: get him!
hobo ranger: (does a little hop and daintily scurries off)
sadmad: ... (takes a good five leisurely seconds to stop the background music) put everyone on high alert. i want everyone after that guy
that guy who just. skipped out of a courtroom. past hundreds of crazy people and several bailiffs.
haha... the kooraheenes police. to quote phelous... THEY’RE THE BEST!
-
“what was the point of all that, anyway?”
search me, phoenix.
“well, i cant help but feel that entire episode was an enormous waste of time”
hey capcom? hanging a lampshade on it doesn’t make it better. it just amplifies how much it sucks.
-
“yes! i recognized that piece of paper because it looks exactly like the piece i have! thats covered in blood and unrecognizable!!!”
...nice
OH AND ITS THE PERFECT FIT TO COVER THE BLOODSTAIN WELL ISNT THAT JUST FUCKIN SERENDIPITOUS
-
“the ignorant lawyer has not bothered to learn out language??”
well A) he's not an international attorney, B) he was on vacation, not studying abroad, and C) fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, fuck you. you’re all speaking english all the time anyway, you bunch of fuckin phoneys
-
i stg sadmad if you say putrid one more time i’ll cram a rotten egg down your pasty white gullet and show you the meaning of the word
-
“the criminal could have only escaped if the high priest helped him out, so why would he kill him?”
hey sadmad? remember that thing about using your putrid brain? yeah, doesn’t take too big a leap to realize that you might’ve just proved phoenix’s ‘idiot theory’ right. maybe the priest um... was a rebel??? who was going to do just that??? and the rebel killer offed his sorry ass?
perhaps, o foolish prosecutor, you should think before you open your rancid lips... lo, in your ignorance, you will be cast down to the hell of those who are kind of stupid....... the hell of perpetual fart smell. there you shall inhale the decomposing winds of ten thousand and one accursed mihtama, while fart fetishists gaze on in envy...
oh wow i didnt even need to go on that spiel, he just admitted it straight up. but yeah, apparently when Lady Kee’ra impersonator kills a rebel, it’s A-OK. But when Maya kills a rebel, well, fuck, she’s a foreign bitch, execute her!!
also the way he said it seems to imply that he knew all along so uh
maybe people should start suspecting this guy. he seems to... know a lot of rebel criminals.
-
every time sadmad shakes his head i wanna break his neck
man i remember being annoyed at edgeworth in the first game and wanting to hop my desk and rough him up, but never wanting to physically maim or kill him. you suck, sadmad.
-
WE GOT IT, FOLKS!! WE GOT THE ASSAULT!! IT’S UM, IT’S SUPERNATURAL FORCE ASSAULT THIS TIME.
FUCK BIRDS AND SWORDS, I GUESS? ACTUAL MAGIC IS THE WAY TO GO?
hey sadmad; tickling? bondage? can we... keep that out of the courtroom please?
also “oh no! i can’t point my finger!!” phoenix cries, forgetting that he has two arms. i guess capcom won’t spring for more than one sprite tho haha
-
“the keera we saw was the statue draped in the sacred robes!”
with a... knife sticking out, apparently. ok..?
also gosh, maya’s really fast, tiptoeing around the abbot, draping the costume just so, then tiptoeing back around? like lightning she is!!
-
he just cut off his own theme song.
-
“she used her fiendish tricks to fool the court room”
which didn’t work at all if you remember the beginning of this court so fuck you?
-
“she sought to use the divination seance to mislead us!”
good going, pointing out an absolutely massive flaw in your country’s legal system, sadmad.
-
i cant believe we had a flashback for absolutely no other reason than Sadmad to gloat. I FILE FOR A MISTRIAL ON GROUNDS OF MISUSE OF FLASHBACKS.
-
please oh god just let it end i dont have enough space in my stomach for any more ulcers
i can’t stand hearing him say let it go one more time please I'm begging you
-
oh no... phoenix has failed... he’s going to die... it’s really going to happen...
just get to the surprise witness or whatever already
-
oh thank god. love you, headband guy
-
“the dagger bears the finger prints of maya fey!”
wow. the police suck major ass at catching running people, but their finger print checking speed is second-to-none. ...either that or they waited a while before telling people about a dead body.......
-
oh gosh!!! its totally maya!!! she arrived 2 years ago and so did lady keera and
yeah no. it’s not her.
but even if it was, kinda awkward there, sadmad? she’s um. kind of a hero to you.
-
i dont get it why is everyone freaking out. i thought the keera impersonator was considered some kind of vigilante hero? why is it suddenly bad when they “find out” it’s maya? is it because she isn't kooraheenees?
I'm honestly really confused. everyone was rooting for the masked defender one moment, but now that its maya, it’s murder??
seriously what the fuck. like the gallery was legit going “ah!! lady keera has come back to save us from the rebels!”
and then its like “its not divine its some foreign bitch in a cloak” and now its like SERIAL KILLER. also, nice. we’ve never been allowed another day in court because there was a second charge racked up. awesome. (with the possible exception of Ron Delite, tho he was changing his charge)
-
sadmad can go choke on his own braid and the gallery can lick their own hypocritical asses. i can’t believe i stayed up till 2 am to finish this section.

Revitalization
So I haven’t really posted in a week or two. I would like to say there have been really interesting breakthroughs.... there have been, kinda. That being said, I think that I feel more different, for some reason? Confident? I dunno. I’m currently halfway through week 10 of 13 total weeks of p90x. Thats, like, day 66/90. I definitely feel stronger. I flex my biceps, and you see the definition and veins in the mirror. You can even almost see some ab area definition. I weighed myself today, and I was down to 165, so I guess my diet and exercise is a 1-2 punch of improvement for my body. On OKCupid you can give your body type, whether its overweight or average or fit or ripped, etc. I put myself down as fit, but now I actually believe it, instead of it being a little white lie. I’m starting to look good, I think. If i give myself a decent haircut, get a classier wardrobe, and smile more, sit up straight more, I think I could definitely not look shitty. Which is cool.
And you know what? About the being single thing... when you’re in a relationship, or you’re married, you lose a lot of motivation, you don’t really try to turn yourself into your best self. Why? Because you’ve already got the girl, and a job probably, and it’s like, why try to be good-looking still, when you already have regular kisses/makeouts/sex/romantic attention in general? You don’t, man. You don’t work out, you don’t work on yourself. Well, that’s not true. Honestly, it depends on your motivation. Sure, there’s the girl motivation, but there’s also, like, self-improvement. And I can see that. As much as I dislike working out, and the 1.5-2 hours a day it takes me usually, I’m pretty happy when I’m finished, cuz I know I’m one step closer to being the best person I can be. I feel accomplished.
When someone, like, plays WoW, and spends 3 hours raiding and gets 1 or 2 loot upgrades, they feel accomplished, like they set a goal, and it worked out, and they’re better now. It’s the same deal with working out, only you actually extend your lifespan and look better in real life and gain confidence and stuff, instead of having worthless e-peen. And I like that. I like having a better body than most of the old-ass dudes and guys my age at work. I know I worked hard for it. When they go out and get dim sum, I’m at my desk, eating my low-fat gross-ass tuna salad. When other people are drinking their beers and mixed drinks on the weekend, I’m drinking water. Last weekend, I was checking out M’s pull-up bar and he was like “yeah lets do it” and he did, like, 1 3/4 pull ups. That second one was a real struggle for him, cuz he kind of has a small-ish beer gut, and also doesn’t work out or anything really. I’m like “yeah man, those pull-ups are brutal, I could probably do about that much” and I bust out 5 of them, and I wasn’t even totally wiped at that point, I could have pumped out a few more.
I’ve been doing this for over 2 months now, and even now, I feel like I’m the strongest and healthiest I’ve ever been.
I guess right now I’m saying all this because C officially asked out their crush (of fucking course they asked HIM out, the dude is such a pussy, oh my word, dude didn’t even make a move after like 3 fucking months lol) and they’re probably gonna end up an item pretty soon, and I’m really trying to convince myself that I made the right decision. Like outside of my anxiety about them or whatever, like every other sign points to me totally making the right decision. I was talking to M about my feelings about this, and hes like “Can i be frank? A lot of people I've told about your situation have said you've dodged a bullet.” And like... something about that line has been sticking to me. Like I was about to be stuck in something that was a death sentence. We talked about how since C’s mom was a narcissist and bipolar, they’re starting to show signs of that too. Which I can see. A few other people have opinions on C as well, that they’ve been apparently too polite to share but might share with me soon. I’m finally learning to not poke my wounds, too. When I’m tempted to go into their room to see if their vibrator has moved, or browse through the bay area furry group chat to see what they’re saying about me (C actually did shit-talk me in there yesterday, like that’s all she can do at this point is circlejerk about me to her gay-ass furry friends), I stop myself, or at least am significantly more hesitant. I think it’s really starting to not hurt. I think it’s really starting to be hammered home in my psyche that the relationship is over, and that’s ok, because they weren’t the one for you, and staying together would just prolong the inevitable. God, they totally have a “Can I speak to your manager” haircut now, cuz it’s more “androgynous”. Like, they’re turning into the radical genderfluid socialist SJW they’ve always wanted to be, since we broke up. And you know what? I’m turning into the actually-somewhat-athletically-attuned, confident guy I’ve always wanted to be as well, since we broke up. And guess what? These radically different people we’ve always wanted to be, that we’re working to turn ourselves into, we’re just not really compatible. I want a pretty normal girl who I at least consider somewhat attractive, and has got her shit together at some capacity, with optional nerdy streak. C, obviously, wants someone gayer. And more beta. And a pussy. God, I just wanna shove his 5 foot few inch ass into a locker. There’s like no testosterone there, no competitive streak, holy fuck. Every video game I’ve played him in, I have totally fucking aced him. Like, even if he wasn’t dating my ex, I still probably wouldn’t like him. But anyway, us turning into 2 different, incompatible people, that’s okay. I’m gonna be okay. I don’t mind being single for a while. I mean, I’m lonely sometimes, sure. Well, a lot of the time. But as long as I’m really working hard to improve myself and turn into the best person I can be, realizing all that potential that people said I had growing up, that’s ok.
Oh, I’m headed to England to chill in July for about a week. I think there are some anniversaries or birthdays we’re going to be celebrating there. But its gonna be my mom’s side. It’s gonna be chill.
Actually, you know what has helped me with confidence tips? I’m reading this book called The Game by Neil Strauss. It’s about this reporter dude, who’s like, “I’m gonna learn everything I fucking can about the world of pickup artists” and over the course of a year he turns into this fucking PUA god and there are all these rival schools of PUA teachings and he has these bizarre encounters with celebrities and it’s a really good book but ANYWAY it goes in depth about a lot of the techniques that PUAs use to attract women. As it turns out, a lot of it is just based on confidence and not giving a fuck. Like, if I smile when I walk in a room, stand up straight, radiate confidence, I’m obviously going to have a positive effect on whoever I meet. I mean, obviously doing the tricks and treating women like objects stuff isn’t good, I don’t want to replicate that, but there are a few tips on just being more confident. And it’s all about just letting go of being self-conscious. Just be more confident. And it’s kind of a fake it till you make it thing. Confidence is applicable in all areas of life, not just picking up women. So, I’ve tried to smile more, just in general. I’ve been working on posture, no matter how tired I get. It’s tough, but if there’s one thing P90X has taught me, its that the only way you get results is you’ve got the BRING IT. That’s what Tony Horton says, anyway.
But anyway. I’ll be okay. I’ve got stuff to do. I’ve got to look on the bright side. And all things considered, my world is brighter than most people’s. I’ve got to appreciate what I have, but also work my hardest to get the best life I can.

A Silver Bird's Prayer Part 1
It was a twilight like no other on the docks of Orsia to the Whisperer's Sea. The sun was cuddling gently in the harsh edges of the Forefather's Mountains, reflecting towards the windows of the rich harbor, unseen rays of clarity. There seemed to be calm all around the small ships that were still in the bay. The atmosphere was was certainly something to remember, as Orsia, despite being a very rich Dracomorsian port of the South, it was bloated in criminals, bands of thieves and occultic societies. Orsia was a city of converging different cultures. An old elven altar, it was abandoned several hundreds of years ago, and then occupied by humans of Nordyn and Raconia. 250 years ago however, it entered in the jurisdiction of the Dracomorsian Empire, who started to trade with the nations of the southern continent, assuring a prosperous economy in this geographical point. However, since everyone could be prosperous, Orsia gathered thieves from all over the world ready to take on the imperial guards to have a taste of the folk's treasures. Thus, entire guilds of rogue bandits were started over night. Yet Mira did not come here to do such a thing. The remarkably beautiful young girl in leather brown trousers, with a long coat tied with a peculiar number of buttons, that had a pink ribbon, giving her a decievingly friendly look arrived this noon hidden in a transport ship. She was unseen and quiet as a cat. Mira was about 19 years of age, and had the red eyes of a dracomorsian. Tall, young, beautiful, with silver hair of unspeakable beauty, what was she seeking in this town as much as to sneak illegaly on a boat to get here. The thing is, she was not looking for anything in particular. She was searching someone. She had to leave that bloody guild. The girl only joined because she had nowhere else left to run. She lost everything that day. And what is lost can never be regained, so she just wiped her tears and moved on. She didn't like it in there but it paid well. It was only natural that she would leave the Dark Blue Troupe when she would find her true purpose in life... Also after making it big. She did not care that she was a mercenary and was paid to kill. All she did was for the purpose of survival. If it wasn't for him, she would starve in a corner of the street. He, showed her how to live in this world, and although it was a horrifying life, she lived to see this very day. When he was gone too, she did not need to be a pawn anymore. She had to come back for him. She couldn't leave him behind after everything.. Honor meant nothing to her. It was just one word that people used to gain comfort. What purpose stands honor when you lie on the ground with your brains out? She laughed at those knights in shiny armor who travel kingdoms to fetch things for their sovereign lord in the name of nobility, marriage and also honor. She hated those who threw their lives away for something as meaningless as this concept. Mira thought that people should live after their own ideals of ethics, but above else the purpose in life is survival. The strong carry on, and the weak perish. That is the way of the true world. Those who dont value their lives enough, should never have had them to begin with. Honour is the reason her whole life turned to ruin. When she was 12 years old, her father killed a lord of a familly that was rivalling to the emperor's favour for generations. The lord insulted Mira's mother, Johanna so her father, Edmund Sablier challenged him to a duel for his family's honor. Using a silver rapier, passed among generations of the Sablier family, Edmund slayed the man in fair combat. However, the dead lord's family held a grudge and 3 months later, on a silent night, the Sablier residence was raided and burned down and everyone, except Mira was assassinated. Left with nothing but the ashes and her father's silver rapier she escaped the inferno triggered by political conflict, she fled to the west and never looked back to her native lands. Then she met Bazordius, a war deserter who abandoned his duties and just as her despised the ideal of honour. He guided her to live in a way that she could get by and forget the past. Bazordius was a great man, who made her powerful, not only in strength but also in spirit. Disappeared in a contract in this city of Orsia, Mira had to save him. The disgusting rats in this city had him. Nasty smugglers who deserve to be crushed and rot in their gutters. She was resting on a barrel in the docks. Her beautiful white hair in the light of sunset attracted the gazes of people in the market. But her red eyes full of confidence gave her an unaproachable air. She was a strong young lady, tried by fate. Nothing could stand in her chase towards her ideals. Honor and glory made her sick, and she didn't need any more power. She simply wanted to live a quiet, happy life, outside the turmoil, wars and quarrels of her mother land. Village life suited her, but not here, somewhere in the far west, in Green Garden, where there are no wars, just very rich grumpy old men. No time for such thoughts now however. It was time to work. "Hello sir, she spoke to the Harbormaster. Busy day today, am i right?" The tired man looked at her: "Yeah, you could say that. But what is a pretty young lady like you doing in this city? Are you off on the prowl for pockets? Or is it trading and shipping that fancies you?" Mira responded: "I'm just a girl up for some adventure... But first i need to make a stop somewhere. Mind if i ask about something? You look like you know the city quite well" "Go ahead, i've got nothing better to do anyway" "I'm looking for a woman. Tall and carries a black staff all the time. She's a mage and apparently lives here. If i'm not mistaken her name is Fiossa..."said Mira to the Harbormaster. "I might know just who you are looking for. But, look, you might not want to mess around with the likes of her. She's a mage of the most peosperous thief guild here: The Putrid Rats. They are the filthies criminals in this city, thats for sure. I think you can find her at Herman's Inn." Mira nodded and thanked the old man. Then she jumped off the barrel as quiet and gracious as a cat on a roof. She looked determined towards the crowded streets filled with all kinds of people.
