It appears that the Rostov na Donu Kalibr-armed submarine, which was hit tonight in Sevastopol, suffered devastating damage too - making it the first Russian submarine lost to enemy actions since the WW2...Source: Ukraine Weapons Tracker

P.S. The Ukrainian Air Force has conducted an extremely successful military operation against Russian war criminals...

Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva

ＰＡＲＴ　０９

〚ＦＩＲＳＴ〛〚ＰＲＥＶ〛〚ＮＥＸＴ〛

Disclaimer: This is a fan-translation for the Japan-exclusive novellisation of the movie Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva. The original novel was written by Aya Matsui under the supervision of Akihiro Hino, and belongs to Level-5.

This translation only aims to be a pleasant read for non-Japanese fans, nothing more: I made a few deliberate changes while translating in order to get the writing style closer to what is usually found in English fanfictions, as the Japanese storytelling can sometimes be different than what we are used to.

＊ Puzzle n°002

Contrary to the first puzzle, the remaining contestants did not immediately leave. They stood still, sometimes glancing at each other, as if probing each other’s movements.

“The largest crown…”

This mutter had come from a girl whose golden hair was tied up with a ribbon. She looked to be around the age of a high schooler. Aside from me, I was certain that she had to be the youngest among the participants.

“It appears that the organiser of this game likes to gather people around in the same place…” an old captain mused to himself. I remembered seeing him on the deck earlier.

The gorgeous lady who had also been on the deck took over the conversation.

“The ship is decorated with quite a few crowns here and there… It will be difficult to compare all their sizes within the time limit.”

“Then this means that the crowns on display are…”

“…all decoys to mislead us?”

Just a few instants before, we had heard once again the screams of the other contestants. A heavy atmosphere seemed to flow among those who remained in the hall, as everyone wanted to hear a little bit of the others’ opinions…

Was it a sense of solidarity? Or perhaps, on the contrary, they were probing each other in an attempt to assess their ulterior motives… It was probably the latter.

After all, only one person could win and gain eternal life.

“Professor, can you solve the puzzle this time?”

Janice was also anxious.

Alright, I would figure it out this time, and I would let her win the game.

“Well…” The professor was about to answer her question, but I decided to interrupt him.

“Professor, I’ll take care of this one!”

Both Janice and him looked a little surprised at my enthusiasm.

“Luke…?”

She remembered my name! That alone made me a little happier.

“It’s all right, Janice! After all, I’m the professor’s ‘apprentice number one’!”

I proudly flashed my pointing finger in the air as hard as I could. When she saw this, she started giggling… That too made me happy. I did not mind looking like a clown if it could make her smile.

“You have a very reliable apprentice,” she told the professor with an amused tone.

Alright, I could not afford to fail this puzzle. I immediately opened my notebook and drew a picture of a crown.

“The biggest crown…” I mumbled while thinking. “A crown… crown…”

The voice telling the puzzle came back to my mind.

Ladies and gentlemen, are you enjoying your ride on the Crown Petone?

“That’s it!” I had just been struck with a flash of inspiration. “We are now on the Crown Petone!”

“Well done, boy!”

Those words from the man with the hat and beard took me by surprise. I was so focused on solving the puzzle that I had completely forgotten about the many people that were standing around me.

The man in the hat made a short run for the door.

“If I remember correctly, the entrance to this theatre had a sign in the shape of a large crown, with the words ‘Crown Petone’ written on it!”

“Oh yes, it was a fairly large crown!”

“That’s it! It has to be!”

Everyone in the hall rushed to the exit.

They had all listened to my reasoning. With this, I would let Janice win! I was so proud of myself.

“Professor, we should go too!”

The professor was smiling. “Indeed we should, Luke.”

The three of us were the last ones to leave the theatre.

But as we walked down the corridor, I became more and more worried… The people who had left for the entrance were nowhere to be seen.

Janice would also turn her head and look behind us in search for other people, so she surely felt the same.

“Have they all made it to the entrance already?”

The professor did not answer.

Janice informed in a reserved whisper: “But… isn’t the entrance the other way around?”

What!?

“Professor, we must have taken a wrong turn! We have to go back!”

But as usual, he remained perfectly calm.

“This way is fine, Luke.”

“But…”

“The sign on the entrance is also a red herring.”

I widened my eyes in confusion, mouth agape.

“The ship was decorated with crowns all over, making everyone believe that they were decoys, and inciting them to go to the entrance,” he explained. “But… This is not the right answer either.”

“What do you mean?”

“Only one person can gain eternal life. These puzzles should not be too easy, otherwise everybody would be able to get them right…”

The professor continued to unravel his reasoning matter-of-factly.

“…And here is the clever part: after solving the first puzzle correctly, we had all been gathered in one room. So naturally, when the second puzzle had a similar wording as the first, we would tend to assume that the next puzzle would follow the same pattern.”

“Professor, I’m getting a bit confused now…”

“It’s alright. You will see soon…”

Suddenly, the professor stopped. We were just in front of a door that led to the deck. He opened the door and encouraged me to come out first.

As I walked out, I saw a row of suspended lifeboats. Several people were cooperating, trying to lower them into the sea.

There were the old captain, the girl who had blonde hair tied up in a ribbon, the gorgeous woman and the muscular man who looked like an athlete, that we had seen earlier… Then there was an explorer-looking man with a big backpack…

The lifeboat that the explorer was trying to lower suddenly lost its balance significantly.

“Whoops, be careful there. May I…?”

The old captain went to his rescue and took the reins, showing him how to handle the rope.

“Huh, you’re doing it so easily.” The explorer man was gazing in admiration.

“I’m the captain of a trading ship, I have devoted my entire life to this. The name is O’Donnell,” the old man said while quickly tilting his hat. “But, we should hurry and keep the chat for later.”

I looked around, seeing other people having similar interactions. What on Earth were they all up to? My mind was completely at a loss.

Janice went past me and approached a lifeboat too.

“Mr Whistler,” she called out.

“Janice,” he responded in a breath.

It was only upon hearing their voices that I realised… Mr Whistler and a little blonde girl were there too.

The little girl’s straight hair, parted down the middle, looked just like Melina’s photo from the brochure. Maybe this was the girl from the letter who had claimed that… she had eternal life?

When she saw the professor approaching, she fidgeted and quickly hid behind Mr Whistler’s back. Before the professor could say anything, Mr Whistler introduced her:

“This is my adopted daughter, Melina.”

The professor remained silent, staring at the girl. So she was named Melina too…

From behind us, a voice rang out with disdain.

“Tsh. So you solved the puzzle too, after all.” It was the man in the hat.

“Indeed.”

The professor smiled at him. Even when addressing disrespectful people, he was never going to be rude. After all, of course, that’s what a gentleman should do.

Still, what was that man talking about? I thought he was the one who had praised me earlier for solving it!

“Ugh. Great, even more competitors.”

That was the man who seemed to be an athlete. He also sounded extremely annoyed.

Everything made even less sense than before. Everyone else obviously knew what was going on, and I seemed to be the only one left in the dark…

I couldn’t help but tell the man in the hat what I thought. “But— You were the one who said earlier that the sign at the entrance was the right answer!”

“Tss. I want eternal life, boy, so I tricked those idiots. And I had to act quickly too, before you’d start spouting even more hints…”

“Spouting hints…?”

I really was completely clueless. I had no idea what was going on anymore.

So, okay, things on my dash today have got me thinking about the whole “Glee over death / wishing death on people” thing that is very popular on the Internet, and life in general it seems.   I will not lie and say that I haven’t done this.  I do outright imprectory (?) prayers sometimes.  It’s a matter of certain politicians, people in power and wanting them out of power because they’re a clear and present danger to Democracy, my rights and the rights of people I love and innocent strangers, they are the creators of wars, so on and so forth.  I hope every day that a certain person who puts chandeliers in his bathroom is found dead on the toilet beneath said tackiness from a random heart attack because I literally think he might be Hitler 2.0 if he meets with undeserved success again.  However, when I think like this, I’m always “If it is the only thing that will get them out of power,” because, at the end of it all, I really would rather people SEE negative consequences for their negative actions.  It’s much more fun to me to watch someone who had no love for others and actively hurt a majority see his empire crumble.  I like the idea of certain people (who, in all likelihood, never will) spending the remainder of their lives powerless and behind bars.  So, I really don’t want people to die, I just want them de-powered and it is much, much more fun to me to think of bad people rendered powerless in a non-lethal way.  Jaiiiiil.  Jaiiiiil for a thousand years!  It feels like more of a punishment.   I feel the same way about mass-shooters.  Most of those people go in with suicide in mind as well as homicide.  They want to go out in blaze of glory, taking out a lot of random people before getting shot by a cop.  (This is why the proposal for an automatic death penalty for them will not stop them).  I much prefer the rare occasion when these monsters are taken alive, because that way, we can put them in the can and study them.  The Buffalo supermarket shooter is going to be in prison for the rest of his life - and while I doubt he’ll have remorse, he at least does not have freedom - nor the finality of death.    I don’t cry for a bunch of billionaires who played stupid games and won stupid prizes.  I’m pretty apathetic.  We need fewer billionaires in the world, so I do not grieve them, but I also do not celebrate, because it doesn’t feel quite right to me.  To me, Death is something that we will ALL face, one way or another, eventually.  Unless the transhumanists actually succeed in transferring rich people’s brains into robots, they will die.  You and I will die.  I lost a very dear loved one this year, unexpectedly - everyone you love will die - I have been feeling this keenly.  So, to me, death is not justice.  It’s just a thing that happens to everyone.  Every time is “before your time.”  Every time is “too soon.”  So, you know, it feels hollow to me to wish death on anyone.  I much prefer wishing consequences on bad people.   Sometime, the consequences are an “early” death, but it feels like a get out of jail free card to me. 

#philosophy #cw: death #oceangate #billionaires and their vanity projects #and kids and employees they force to ride #play stupid games win stupid prizes #death is not justice #why wish death on people when you can wish worse? #I know I am disappointing my hero Vash the Stampede #with my twisted take on the sanctity of life #but I am sick of the billionaire class #I'd rather just take their money and help the world than kill them though #dead submarine #It is okay to take dark humor in this #I would have rather they lived and never lived it down the rest of their lives #everyone laughs at them until they're 92 #never get a job designing a sub again #bills for the rescue efforts #criminal charges for negligence #seeing the memes

AU where Lachlan acquires a guitar, and when he tries to play it, weird things start happening. He thinks he has finally drunk himself into hallucinations, but no, the guitar is just haunted by Alice, its previous owner.

#one more the-previous-owner-of-something's ghost au only because it's halloween and definitely not because I lack imagination lol #reasons: I saw an instagram reel about someone buying a supposedly haunted guitar + I watched “The Submarine Kid” #details are unclear but god knows only supernatural forces can help this man😂 #probably not a happily ever after ending (the dead stay dead) but a hopeful one #anyem #alice shelly x lachlan macaldonich #california solo #the submarine kid #moodboards for non-existent fics #not only mice but also moodboards #my anyem/anyelle things #my things

My disability "benefits" are intentionally kept below the poverty line by about $700. Last month I sold some old shoes and stuff and the govt took said $300 out of my next cheque for having "excess income". Grocery bills are over double what they were a few years ago.

Billionaires hoard their wealth that could be used to help people like me afford food, get people off the streets, help save the environment, and countless other good things, but they don't, because they lack basic humanity and the people in power figure that I, a disabled person just barely scraping by has too much money, but these rich assholes who decided to spend their money on a deep sea adventure in a tin can rather than helping people don't.

But my lack of empathy is the problem, here. I'm the villain for not crying over a few possibly dead billionaires who bought their own deaths.

If you feel bad about it, fine. Just stop telling others we have to care about people who don't give a flying fuck about us just for some nebulous pseudo-Christian idea of moral purity.

#it's such a mormon idea that you must think and say kind and noble things at all times #and if you don't it will matter somehow #god is not going to come smite us for our thoughts and feelings #the only thing that really matters are our actions because those have tangible effects #and no one is preventing these people from being found by laughing #it's not going to stop any search parties #and no one forced those people into that fucking shoddy submarine #you're just obsessed with moral purity and it's exhausting #you do not have to love those who hate you #you can hate them right back who cares #not them thats for sure

Was recently reminded of how sitcoms about benevolent aliens living on earth were really popular for a while in the 20th century, and the comedic bits with Ax in Animorphs are really stylistically similar to those and this was probably both intentional and a lot more obvious to audiences in the 90s when the books came out, which makes it a lot funnier in context, because the modern equivalent would be a super dark, gritty sci-fi/fantasy series that occasionally becomes tonally and stylistically identical to iCarly, and then I realized that there already exists a super dark, gritty sci-fi fantasy IP that’s mainly set in Seattle and features the Internet heavily, and that it exists in the form of a series of video games which I own with an entire feature for making and sharing custom campaigns, and now I am divinely obligated to create a mod for the Harebrained Schemes Shadowrun games about fantasy cyberpunk versions of the cast of iCarly leading secret double lives as the most popular teen stars on the Matrix and the most dangerous shadowrunners in Seattle.

#animorphs #iCarly #shadowrun #like for a teen sitcom the cast of iCarly fit *really easily* into Shadowrun player character archetypes #you've got the guy who's really good with computers #the girl who really likes beating the shit out of people #the guy who sets things on fire effectively by magic #and the one person in the group with any social skills #and also between sam and freddie's moms being horrifically abusive and carly and spencer's dad abandoning them to live on a naval submarine #and forcing spencer to take on a parental role he didn't sign up for for his younger sister #they also have equally tragic backstories to most player characters
