Twilight Sparkle's finished writing her signature on the document and then returned the quill pen to its place in the inkwell. Opening a drawer on her desk she retrieved a small ornately carved teak box and set it on the desktop. From a pocket on her deep red satin vest she withdrew a small ring of keys. She selected a particularly fancy key of chiseled steel which had a large, faceted amethyst stone inset into it.

The light mauve alicorn's horn glowed slightly and the box glowed in a similar color. There was a brief flash of arcane light then it subsided. Twilight then inserted the key into lock and turned it. The gemstone in the key glowed brightly for an instant and the lock clicked. Lifting the lid of the box she removed a wax seal and stick of violet sealing wax. Twilight's horn sparked for an instant and the wick of the sealing wax burst into flames. She then dripped several drops of the wax on the paper. Quickly she pressed her seal into the molten wax and then carefully lifted the seal leaving an impression of the seal in the cooling wax. She then placed the document in a large pile of other pieces of paper, vellum, and parchment.

Extinguishing the wick on the sealing wax. Twilight returned the seal and wax to the box. She started close it when her eyes settled on another object in the teak box. It was a key. A much simpler type of key that was found on countless key rings across Equestria. The Princess of Friendship looked at the key and then to a bottle sitting on her desk. It was a modest sized bottle of deep pine green,semi-translucent glass. It had a flip-top stopper. Attached to the stopper was a steel shackle that hooked over and held in place by a utilitarian but very rugged looking lock. Embellished on the bottle was the image of an open book.

Twilight looked at the key and then to bottle. Then she glanced over to the large stack of paperwork that still needed her attention. She looked back to the bottle, then to the key in the box, then over to papers again. This cycle went on for a few seconds until the mare smiled and she muttered to herself.

"All work and no play make Twilight a dull princess." The paperwork could wait until tomorrow. A smile spread across her face. "I guess I can let her out to play for the evening."

The alicorn's flared again and the bottle levitated closer to her. The glow of her changed color and the lock and stopper flashed for an instant. Then she inserted the key and unlocked it. Then she removed the lock, flipped open the stopper, and then leaned back in her chair and enjoyed the upcoming show.

After a couple of seconds a small geyser of viscous, glistening black liquid erupted from the bottle. The liquid hung in the air as more and more and even more of it emerged and hung in the air in defiance of gravity. After a second or so it started forming into the figure of Page Turner. The unicorn mare was wearing a leather ensemble that she called her Adventure Outfit. She twirled in the air a couple of times. Then she looked down at the princess and smiled.

"Evening your Highness. What services do you require from me your most loyal and obedient servant?!"

Twilight steepled her fingers as she leaned back in her chair and looked up at the mare and grinned. "You know. I think you deliberately lost that bet we made. Because you're enjoying this way too much!"

The Page Turner put her arms behinds back and leaned over and looked down at Twilight. "Is that a problem ma'am?"

Twilight's grin grew even larger. "No problem at all."

This is one of the drawings she started during my recent Picarto stream. Link The theme that evening was genies. In both my Equestria and Anthro MLP dreamscape Page Turner is part of Princess Twilight's security detail and the mare is now the princess's lover. This is the story that popped into my head as I was doing the drawing.

imagine part v

imagine: form a mental image or a concept

plot: you didn’t know what you were getting into when you turned your hobby into an actual career on f1. based on Lewis’ “imagine” tweet.

Friday March 18, 2022

"if all of this ended today, at least I made everyone laugh."

You weren't too sure how things would go, so you woke up at 6 am, way earlier than usual. You reached over to turn on the lamp and grab your phone off of the nightstand. To your surprise, many DMs and comments of congratulatory messages welcomed you after unlocking your phone. While fighting back tears, you typed up a pinned comment thanking everyone for their thoughts and would get back to each one of them later that night. You plugged in your phone and started your morning routine, this one you'd never forget.

After triple checking yourself in the mirror and your bags, you headed into your Uber to get to the Grand Prix. As you rode in the back of the car, you tried your best to respond to all the comments and messages, but they just kept coming in. Before you knew it, sunlight was hitting your face. It was your Uber driver opening the car door - you had arrived. You exited the car, thanked the driver, and followed signs directing you to the Paddock. When you reached the front of the line, you scanned your badge and saw your name displayed on the screen with the: "FORMULA 1 GULF AIR BAHRAIN GRAND PRIX 2022. Welcome to the F1 Paddock. All you had worked for was just a few feet away from you. You took a photo of the screen documenting a memory you'd never want to forget, not realizing a line had formed. There were a few murmurs and annoying voices behind you, so you hurried up and moved along. You turned to apologize to the queue that formed and all eyes fell looking at your lanyard- "Media" just like them. There were a few surprised faces, and you tried not to laugh. You just took into memory all the faces you'd have to work twice as hard against to earn your respect.

The first three drivers' press conferences flew by and you couldn't get a question in. Between your hand getting skipped or someone asking a question too similar to yours, you felt defeated. There was one final driver's conference, and you were determined to get your voice heard. Walking back into the media center, you placed your notebook and laptop onto your makeshift work area and went to tour the Paddock. You needed a change of scenery to get out of the negative feelings appearing. You took pictures of the paddock and track, mostly for personal memories, but also some to share. Turning your phone off of 'Do Not Disturb', it bombarded you with text and notifications, but one caught your eye - multiple text messages from Ashlyn. Ashlyn had let you know she and your family got F1TV Pro and they were watching every drivers' conference just to hear your voice. Not a single person in that room understood Formula One, but they always supported your passion. They didn't care about the time zone difference because they were proud of you. You took a second to FaceTime everyone and thanked them.

You apologized and told them you were trying your best, but it was hard. They gave you all the encouragement and advice on how to get yourself heard: "Grab some paper and wave your hand in the air" "Just yell, girl!" "Get your butt in the front row!" The jokes and hearing their voices made you smile. That right there gave you all the happiness in the world. With your head up high now, you took a deep breath and walked towards the paddock's media center, with a walk like you've done that for years.

As you were walking back, some commotion startled you. There were lots of people running towards the front gates, in the opposite direction from you. You were taught "run with them and ask questions later." When everyone stopped, all you heard were camera shutters going off and pointed in a single direction - Lewis Hamilton. He entered the paddock wearing a jacket with a tie-belt over a pair of ecru-colored pants. When you were covering races from home, you saw photos and videos when Lewis walked onto the paddock but in person, it was like no other. He commanded an entrance, stopping everyone in their place. The power he had just walking from the entrance gates to his motorhome was indescribable. Being star-struck, you almost neglected to take photos and videos for social media.

It was time for the final drivers' conference of the day. One final chance to be heard. In front of you were Yuki, Esteban, Nico, Alex, and Lewis. The conference went just like the previous three; you getting skipped. To your surprise, there was one final call to get questions in. "This is my last opportunity," you said to yourself. You stood up, raising your hand. "I do." Making everyone in the room turn to the last row of the room. You took a deep breath, murmured your website name into the mic, then said "I do, it's for Lewis. First Lewis, I hope you're well. The question I have is regarding the W13. Based on pre-season testing, the W13 isn't the smoothest ride. How are you and the team feeling going into the 2022 season?" Lewis responded with a smile, "I am, thanks. How are you?" You had already passed the mic back, and just nervously shouted from the back row, "Oops, umm I just gave the mic back, but I am well, thanks for asking."

This caused the room to let out a laugh. At that moment, you were beyond thankful you didn't visually turn red when flustered, but on the inside, you felt like you were on fire. Lewis answered the question, and that was the end of the drivers' conference. You had done it, and you even made the room laugh. This isn't how you expected the day to go, but if that's how you'd make a first impression, at least it was a good one.

When free practice ended, all you thought was "Damn, Mercedes wasn't sandbagging!" After finishing up your article discussing the press conference, you checked social media. Your notifications were higher than normal. As you read through your mentions, there were tweets saying "Oh this is the woman that had Lewis smiling like that!" "I see you girl, I don't blame him" "We have no choice but to support" This all made you chuckle until you saw a few that made a lump in your throat form and panic. People were claiming you were flirting for clout. Trying to find issues and put an asterisk on what took you years to build. You knew you had to shut that all down immediately.

You sent a tweet reading "Hi to all my followers! To my new ones as well. Hope you're all well. A new article is live and I'll be posting a video later tonight. Link to my other socials in the bio. (Side note: Wishing people well is something I ask everyone, it's how I grew up)" You hoped the internet could take a joke and didn't want it to appear aggressive and defensive. The last thing you needed was people assuming you were flirting. This day was going so well and you didn't want unnecessary stress in your life. So you swore off Twitter for the weekend, strictly posting race content and not checking your mentions. You even went to limit your Instagram comments, then turned your phone on 'Do Not Disturb' for the day.

The night had ended, but you still had a video to film and a second article to finish. You almost talked yourself out of it, but it needed to be done. You'd be damned if you worked this hard to get to this point and started putting in half an effort. You looked at the clock, not realizing how late it had gotten. You doubled checked the time back home and sent a text to your family giving them your love and appreciation. You headed to the bathroom to do your nightly routine. As you tied your hair down and put on your bonnet, you smiled at your reflection, saying, "If all of this ended today, at least I made everyone laugh."

Advantages of Toshiba Printers in Hoyt Lakes and Aurora, MN

An office runs smoothly due to the united efforts put in by employees and the management. Human resources cannot tackle the workload without proper support from office equipment. While a small company may not be too interested in advanced equipment, the use of printers, scanners, and copiers cannot be argued with. Admittedly, many top brands are available for the end-user, but the big and small companies find the Toshiba printers in Hoyt Lakes and Aurora, MN, to be well-suited to their requirement.

The brand name of Toshiba evokes positive feelings due to its worldwide reputation. Toshiba is indeed a world leader in office equipment and office automation. With a wide variety to choose from and top-notch features associated with each model, the users are not inclined to change brands when looking for replacements either.

The companies find it effective to save space by opting for a multifunctional model that doubles up as a printer and copier at the same time. The features that are highly appreciated by the users include the following:-

· Universal print driver

· Image scanner

· Fax

· Control Panel Print Function Button

· Solutions Ready

· Gsm Support Through The Bypass

· Private Printing Feature

· Mobile Printing Feature

· Complete Data Security

· Energy Efficiency

· High Image Quality

· Paper Volume Indicators

Toshiba products are usually laser printers that provide superior-quality prints, enabling the workforce to ensure reliability. Toshiba offers perfect products for office use, with smaller and lighter products suitable for a home office or single operator. Using the following is bound to make the tasks simpler and convenient too:

· USB- The end-user can have the printout ready in a jiffy by using the USB button. While the features seem simple, it is incredibly effective, especially when printing or copying a series of documents, including images, brochures, and accurate bank statements. The copies and printouts may be made from a range of devices such as PCs, smartphones, desktop computers, and tablets

· Eco-Friendly- the varied features of a Toshiba printer or copier have a reduced environmental impact. The toner-saving feature decreases energy consumption and costs at the same time. The eco-friendly option does not affect the quality of the prints or copies. Instead, one may be able to print the documents in vibrant colors when needed. Investing in a Toshiba product can thus be the best option for advertisers and media companies that require eye-catching illustrations regularly to convince the target audience

· Information Sharing- Being able to share information instantly and readily is the forte of the Toshiba printer, too. The ability of the device to print out the required number of copies within seconds can help the entire team remain well aware of the target and requirement.

One may also save enormous time by requesting maintenance support from the dealer when buying/leasing Toshiba printers in Hoyt Lakes and Aurora, MN.

WEIGHT OF A BODY: COMPOSE

Student name: Michael Viciedo

Documentation of “Body of Weight” in-class compositional project:

1). Organized composition part 1:

Statement of intent:

When I hear the word “organized”, what immediately comes to mind is symmetry. Symmetrical compositions often have an organized look, and feeling to them, so for this reason I implemented each object into the piece in such a way that they would create a perfectly symmetrical shape. I also wanted the final product to appear satisfying to look at, so I created a classic T-shape, compact composition in the end.

2). Organized composition part 2:

Statement of intent:

When told to once again form an organized composition, I took a different approach all together. I thought about group organization, and how that is often associated with successful organization skill. For this reason, I placed my items into five separate groups: top left going around clockwise…. Gardening items, Refrigerated liquids, Personal room items, Items which aid in carrying other items, and finally items created in this room. I also wanted to make this composition successful looking from each angle, so the groups are spaced in such a way that the work can be viewed from any point around it.

3). Disorganized composition:

Statement of Intent:

Disorganization is the polar opposite of organization, therefore my methodology was flipped on its head for this composition. The opposite of organized groups and symmetry is an unorganized, asymmetrical mess! I enjoyed placing the objects in overlapping, seemingly nonsensical positions, even switching out some of the objects, such as the boots, with my own shoes to create an even more disorganized color palette despite the purposefully chaotic composition, I still wanted the work to somehow be pleasing to gaze at from all angles, in an almost intriguing, mysterious way… make people thing “why is this messed up, what could have happened here?” It is almost like the aftermath of a breakdown, a portrait of pure anger.

4). Disappearing exercise (Slideshow video format):

Statement of intent:

Now this was an unexpected assignment for sure, but an extremely fun, and complex one at that! When told to make my objects disappear without taking them outside of the room, that prompted the creativity and problem solving portion of my brain to work harder. I thought about hiding my objects in plain sight, somewhere where they would fade into the room’s natural aesthetic and mood. Color, shape, and context were my total intent with making these objects disappear. Objects like the gloves were placed near machines that would prompt the use of gloves, my tiles were placed in placed with other square-shaped items, and also areas with construction materials. My sketchbooks were placed near other books behind chairs and many objects inside my trash-bag next to the trashcan, making it seem like just another trash-bag waiting to be thrown out.

5). Load-bearing composition:

Statement of intent:

When it came to the final composition/exercise, I knew exactly what I would do from the moment the prompt was announced. My set of objects was unique because of the fact that a majority of the weight was located in, primarily, the three gardening stepping stones, so I knew I would stand and lay atop them. The sketchbooks, if laid flat, would also provide excellent weight-bearing, much like a large stack of paper would, and for this reason they were placed underneath the tiles. The rest of my objects were dedicated to making sure I would be stable atop my creation, and the boots served at the insertion point for my body to be pinned into the sculpture. In the second image, I am using the dolly as a stable, comfortable back rest as I lay on it, rather then standing, showcasing other ways the structure holds me up. Finally, I kneeled atop it as a final small pose change to have more of that “sitting” energy.

Title/menu screen

For the title/menu screen I wanted it to be sci-fi-esque while also being tied down to being type writing and office based. The first thing I looked at is The Office. What I like about the office is the writing attached to it.

The Office uses a typewriting font that shows the audience what the theme of the show is about. I would use something like this for my game but it isn't tied down enough to being set in a sci-fi environment.

Another media I am looking at is Papers Please.

A game about checking peoples documents to see if they are safe enough to let into the country, if you let the wrong person in, you risk that person causing a terrorist attack in the country. What I really like about this title screen is that the theme is sort of around C.O.G.S where the player works for a company.

The menu screen for Papers, Please seems to be quite corporate with the logo at the top. For my game I will be taking the fact that there was a logo on the menu screen.

For company logos I started looking at logos within video games. One of which was half life logo. The logo for this is the lambda symbol which represents the 11th letter of the greek alphabet. I like the idea of using letters from other languages but I feel like it wont fit my sci-fi game.

A logo that I do really like is the USRAF logo (united states royal air force)

I really like this because its subtle yet uses really nice color schemes to blend into each other.

The image above is my first concept for the logo. I dont really like the colour choices but I also couldn't find anything that worked well with the lines.

Above is my second logo. I liked this one a little more but at the same time it didn't really work with the colors. I also didn't like the shield being there. I took more inspiration from papers please in this one.

The image above is my final concept for the logo. I like this one a lot, though I didn't draw any of the assets. I took them from google images and changed the hues to fit with the idea I wanted. I will be using this one in the menu screen

ARTS245 Process Blog Post 11

In-Progress/Completed:

This week was another week of changes for our original badge designs. When presenting our final badges, I got some extra feedback that is proving to help out quite a bit, such as making the inner most circle on my plate just that one point thinner than it was previously to free up some space around "Croquet Crew". Some other feedback was about the size and position of the "Columbia S.C." at the bottom of the dish, with suggestions of potentially resizing and changing it to small caps rather than upper and lower case. Image below:

With this mostly situated, the next task was to finish up a style guide for our design, including colors that we used, typeface's and setting up patterns for use in different scenario's or simply to label it as a brand through their design's. Image below:

I spent a good while trying to come up with something to use for my pattern's, and ultimately fell on the idea to use the fork and the croquet mallet as my overall design element with the patterns, which brought forth the repeated lines of each one, and the more chaotic second pattern. During our critiques on these, it was suggested that I utilize the floral brush stroke I used as the lining of the china plate as one of the patterns. I also thought of replacing the more chaotic one and instead having the plate repeated next to each other in the space instead to utilize a different design element. Image below:

I think with these changes, the final style guide should look pretty satisfactory, I'm really appreciative of all the feedback that this has gotten in class, and really excited to see everyone else's designs!

Reading reflections:

For our final reading, (or at least that's what the document on basecamp looks like) it touched on the importance of an editor and how they sort of operate when it comes to both design element's, as well as proof-reading/correcting documents. I was really taken by surprise when I saw just how many different ways there were to point out certain mistakes in a paper, as they illustrated a wide variety in the text. They make a point that it's important to have an editor look over these things, as sometimes the designer/writer might be biased towards their own works.

And although it’s only been about a week, I think they’re right! 5 stars for this feature-rich and easy to use software, and for top-notch customer support so far (I had accidentally purchased a Windows license, and they quickly helped me resort it out). I heard about PDF Reader Pro on Reddit recently, where lots of people were saying that it was the best option for Mac.

Calling Home (1) | Frankie Morales x Reader

Summary: You are a receptionist at the VA. Frankie Morales keeps calling. Yearning ensues...

Rating: M -> E in later chapters

Warnings: fem!reader, age gap (legal), praise kink, voice kink, discussion of addiction/PTSD/trauma, no use of y/n, no beta reader, reader is bad at Spanish, Frankie has a sexy voice 😩

Masterlist here

AN: My first fic. Pedro writers have inspired me to finally start writing again 🥺. Concept inspired by the movie RED. I hope you like it ❤️Set after triple frontier.

Chapter One

~~~~~~~~~~~

The first time he called was an ordinary Thursday.

“Veterans Affairs, how can I help you?”

You had been working at the VA office for about two weeks. Fresh out of college you felt lucky to have a job in the first place. You went to school to be a writer but your big idea for 'The Next Great American Novel' had yet to present itself. At least here you had access to the most inspiring stories and interesting people. Men and women who had seen more and done more than you probably would in your entire life. You loved talking to clients on the phone. It was weird but something about only being able to hear people’s voices excited you. You would sometimes write little stories in your head about the people you'd talk to, filling in the details that were unknown.

Your desk accessories reflected your love of books and writing. You had your growing collection of books sitting on your desk sandwiched between baby pink bookends. Next to them was a matching desk organizer filled with your favorite sparkly pens and sticky notes. You had decorated the plain cubicle walls with posters of quotes from your favorite books. You also brought your favorite candle from home. Even though you couldn’t light it you still liked to lift it to your nose once and a while and smell it between chapters. When you weren’t on the phone or scanning documents you would read. You finished To Kill A Mockingbird in your first week on the job and were now halfway through Murder on the Orient Express.

You were starting a new chapter when Frankie Morales called the first time.

You picked up the phone on the second ring already mustering your chipper 'customer service' voice. “Veterans affairs.” You stated your name. “How may I help you?”

“H-Hi. My name is Frankie- uh-Francisco Morales." A deep voice answered you. "I’m calling because I have gotten my benefits check yet. It’s been a month. I was hoping you could tell me if it got sent?”

“Okay Mr. Morales." You flipped on the computer. "Let me check. Can you spell your last name for me?”

“M-o-r-a-l-e-s”

“Okay... let's see.” You clicked on his account. You were momentarily distracted by his picture likely taken when he graduated basic if you had to guess based off the uniform. He looked sweet. Sharp nose and strong jaw balanced by kind eyes and a shy smile. You could imagine how age would continue to soften his expression making him even more handsome. The image was a strange juxtaposition to the voice you were hearing on the phone which was much deeper and rougher. His profile said he was special forces. A pilot. The rest of the information was blacked out. Something you were used to seeing on many people's accounts but even his years of service were redacted. He must have been involved in some dangerous stuff, you thought to yourself. The dates that were not redacted were mostly in Latin America. You clicked over to processing requests. “Looks like the check got sent one week ago.” You informed him.

"I'll look again but I haven't seen anything-" It sounded like he was apologizing when clearly it was not his fault.

"No no. It's probably a mistake on our end." You interrupted. With how shitty and outdated the payroll interface was you wouldn't be surprised if there was a mix up. "I’ll go ahead and let payroll know to send another."

"Great. Thanks." He replied sounding relieved. The roughness in his voice gave way to a smooth baritone.

“No problem. I'm sorry for any inconvenience it may have caused. We'll get it sent right away." You hoped he was not relying on this benefit check for anything important. While you could promise you'd fix the problem, the administration was notoriously slow. When he didn't respond you asked, "Is there anything else I can help you with today, Mr. Morales?”

“Uh-no" The roughness back in place. "Thank you." He paused before adding your name onto his thank you which made you smile. People usually never remembered your name.

“Alright. Have a nice day and thank you for your service.” You chirped before hanging up. The smile he put on your face lingered for a few minutes as you returned to your book.

The next time he called was exactly twelve days later.

“Veterans affairs” you answered, your routine greeting cut short as your eyes were still on your book.

“Hi- I’m calling because uh I still haven’t gotten my benefits check. This is Frankie Morales.”

“Oh Mr. Morales.” You recognized his voice even before he even said his name. You quickly shut your book, pushing your hair out of your face. Had you been thinking about him? No! Okay maybe you stared at his picture for a few minutes longer after he hung up. Yes, it was probably very unprofessional but you couldn't fight the curiosity. You were trying to rationalize the contrasting sharpness and softness of his features with his voice. How it all worked together. How one person's voice could change textures and colors so easily. You wondered what kind of things this man might have seen on the job. Most of the veterans you would help day to day did not have so many redacted missions and deployments. You were in the middle of Narcos season one so you immediately thought of drugs or something equally dangerous. After much pondering, you had come to the conclusion that Frankie Morales was both insanely attractive and insanely courageous. “Still no check, huh?”

“Nope.” He sighed the sound making the phone's shitty speaker crackle as you held it to your ear.

“Let me just check that it was approved...“ you found his profile again and scrolled to the status page. “Hmm... it says it was sent out last Friday after we spoke. That’s so weird...”

“Yeah. Really weird.” He echoed your frustration on the other end.

Typical payroll, you thought to yourself as you rolled your eyes. “I'll get another one sent to you right away. I'll see to it myself.” You tucked the phone under your chin and typed out a short email to Mary in payroll letting her know you'd be stopping by her office to explain the situation. You realized he hadn't hung up yet.

“Sorry for the back and forth.” You said, trying to fill the silence.

“It’s not your fault." The earlier irritation gone. "You’ve been really helpful.” His voice sounded warm and reassuring. Less gruff than it was last you spoke. Instead it was that rich baritone that you caught of glimpse of last time.

You feel your face warm at his compliment. It was this annoying reflex you had. Praise always made you blush no matter what context but it was worse when it came from a (you assume) gorgeous stranger.

“And just to verify that your address is correct- you’re on Maple Lane in Miami, Florida?”

“That’s right.” He confirmed.

“Okay. Sent!” You clicked send on the email, which caused the window to close and reveal Frankie’s profile page again. “I was curious-" You spoke before you really made the decision to speak. You didn’t want to overstep but once again your curiosity got the better of you. Honestly, you were just searching for a way to keep him on the phone. The day had been so boring.

“Your profile says you were stationed in Costa Rica.”

“For a bit.” He replied after a moment. He didn’t sound too defensive but there was definitely some tightness in his answer that made you feel bad for asking. Like you were scratching a wound.

“Did you like it? The country I mean.”

“Are you planning a trip?” He sounds a little amused.

“Yeah- well- kind of. It's more a trip in my head right now. I’d like to go there one day. It looks so beautiful.” You sighed closing your eyes trying to imagine the heat on your skin.

“It is." He agrees. "Really humid though.”

“Mm that sounds nice.” You would kill for some warm weather after such a long winter in DC.

“It was too muggy for me at times." He grumbled. "If you do go, stick to the costal areas where it’s more breezy or else you’ll just be sweating the whole time.”

“I don’t mind a little sweat” you shrugged, still thinking of the awful east coast winter you were currently suffering through. The sexual connotation of what you said hit you hard as soon as you heard the statement in its entirety. You felt your face flush again, though the man on the other end would never know.

“I’m learning Spanish!" You announced loudly trying to move the conversation past your awkwardness.

“Wow. Muy impressivo.”

“Si” you replied but after a moment you admit “I don’t really know what you said.”

Frankie laughed loudly on the other end and you couldn’t help but join in, drawing dirty looks from the elderly lady, Donna, working in the cubicle across from you. You ducked your head behind a stack of papers to avoid her glare.

“Fake it till you make it.” He chuckled.

“Maybe you should help me out.” You took on an indigent but still playful tone. “You sound better than duolingo” Your smile widened when he laughed again. His laugh was what you hoped it would be, by all your assumptions from his picture. It was an unencumbered, unburdened, rich sound with only a hit of roughness from the air behind it.

“Tell me you’re not using that dumb app to learn.” he scoffed, saying your name in an almost scolding tone.

“I’m got my thirty day streak today.” You boasted.

“You’ll be a total tourist if you go by duolingo.”

“But the owl is so cute every time I get something right!” You argued your voice taking on a more childish cadence.

“That’s how they trap you, silly girl.” He teased right back. Usually such a condescending nickname would piss you off but something about the affection behind him using it made you feel very differently. You felt warm like you were proud to be silly as long as it made him laugh.

“Then you saved me just in time, Mr. Morales.” You bit your lip. His scoffing and laughter died down on the other end.

“Frankie” He corrects you.

“Frankie…” You repeated it, smiling at how well the nick name suited the voice over the phone. Honest, sincere, and not pretentious at all. Way better than the pompous guys you know with equally stuffy names like “Edward” and “Christopher.”

“So what do you want to know?” Frankie interrupted your thoughts. “Dime”

You started asking him questions in Spanish to the best of your ability. Granted they weren't particularly probing questions. What is your name? What is your favorite color? What is your favorite animal? What's your favorite book? I am reading Gone Girl. He answered them all with patience and amusement, occasionally interrupting you to correct your pronunciation or explain what a word meant. Every time you’d repeat the word back correctly he would say something like “good” or “there you go” or “you got it”. You hated to admit that his kind words and his praise was doing something to you. You didn't even realize you were clenching your legs together unconsciously, almost in anticipation of his next correction or next answer. His low voice so sweet and encouraging against your ear, more tangible when he was speaking Spanish. You just wanted to hear more of it. Would it be this sweet in other situations? Would it get huskier or rougher? If you closed your eyes it was like he was sitting right next to you. It would be all too easy to slip into that daydream and escape the dull office.

Suddenly out of the corner of your drooping eyes you saw a flashing red light on the phone console meaning another caller was waiting.

“Shoot- i’m sorry, Frankie- I have to take this call.” You shot forward in your chair, legs uncrossing.

“Of-Of course. I should let you get back to work.” He sounded a little sad or so you hoped. You felt bad for interrupting him after you both were having so much fun. You wanted to say he could wait on hold but he killed that idea when he said, "I have work too. Technically I'm five minutes past my lunch break."

Your pout turned to a smile. He was spending his precious lunch break with you? Get a grip! you snapped at yourself.

“You’re welcome to call again if you want.” You threw out the offer in a small voice, scared you would be rejected. You peered over the cubicle wall to see if you were still being glared at. Thankfully Donna was away from her desk. Probably out for a smoke. “It’s really boring here and usually no one calls.”

“Maybe I will.” He replied and you could hear the smile behind those words. You felt your heart clench weirdly in your chest like it didn't know how to process the sudden spike in emotions.

“Bye, Frankie.” You beamed.

“Bye”

This time the smile on your face lasted for hours. Frankie’s laugh echoed around in your head, taunting you, sending your mind to the gutter. His voice went from grit to molasses on a dime. You wanted to be the one to bring out those sounds. You wanted to hear his voice bend and stretch and strain as you fucked him. What the hell is wrong with me? you screamed internally. You had never been so depraved and with a stranger no less! You clearly needed to get laid fast because this much yearning would not end well.

Frankie got the second VA check a few days later and this time he didn’t even feel bad about ripping it in half. He was already reaching for the phone to call you.

character/s: claude de alger obelia, diana of siodonna, felix robane

synopsis: it's...uhm....an empress!diana x concubine!claude crackfic 😭😭

warning/s: uhh a sprinkle of politics, the robane duchy is now siodonnan and not obelian screw canon, diana is lowkey mean to rogrog

a/n: i'm so sorry this is so bad

part one

felix's foot taps against the tiles of the empress' room impatiently. "you stayed up finalising the agreement all night, your majesty, perhaps some rest is due?"

diana spares him glance, turning sideways from her position on her bed. "what was his name again?"

"pardon?"

"the painter," she elaborates, pointing towards the painting on the ceiling above the bed. "i keep...i don't know, i keep finding new things the more i look at it."

"is that so?"

the painting itself, a coronation gift from felix, depicts the goddess diana reaching out to the children of the world and vice versa. "if you look at the sky closely - remember our old siodonann classes?- 'for the people' is hidden in the stars. isn't that cool?"

the knight squints at the painting. "oh, i see it! i wonder why it's in old siodonann, though?"

"i would guess it's because the imperial family wasn't worshipped in the old days," diana explains, "for example - right now, in some parts of the empire, my late father - bless him - and i may actually have shrines because people believe the imperial family's descent is from the gods. when the kingdom was just formed, though, kings and queens weren't allowed to ride alone in carriages as they greeted their subjects- they needed to have a slave with them at all times, who kept on repeating 'you are human' to them. 'you are human', 'we are all the same in the eyes of the true gods."

the sound of the army of maids behind the door is enough to pull felix out of his trance. "er...horatius calvus, your majesty."

"hm?"

"the artist, that's his name."

"ah." diana turns to the painting once more, eyes staring at the goddess' hair that melted into the night sky. "would you be able to get in contact with him? i'd like to commission a piece."

felix bows gracefully. "as your majesty commands. oh, and - for the obelian delegates' farewell celebration tonight...has your majesty decided on an escort?"

she groans, falling back on the bed. "i've had so much free time lately, the harem is all i think about!"

"very funny, ma'am. then...shall i prepare the usual?"

diana shakes her head. "i'll visit viscaria palace later and see for myself. the obelians brought some concubines with them as presents, it's be nice to weed through the bunch."

felix's eyes nearly pop out. "you're visiting the harem?! your majesty! did you find someone you like??"

she chucks a pillow at him before he can continue. "you weren't loud enough just now, fe, i don't think all of siodonna heard you."

"...apologies, ma'am."

three years ago, when she had only just come into power, diana remembers being afraid of the large, gold doors between her and the council room. she remembers pausing before entering, regaining her breath, preparing her mind. projecting an image.

if there is one thing she has learnt, though, it's that only fools can be afraid of their own property. their assets. the larger-than-life doors swing at her command, allow or deny entrance with solely her permission. confidence comes easy when you act like you own the place - nevermind the fact that she did own most places.

but i have no reason to be afraid.

the obelian delegates stand at her arrival and bow like good little lords should before an empress. one of the more prominent ones stands to address her as soon as the meeting commences.

"blessings and glory upon the sun of the great siodonnan empire," he says.

diana raises an amused eyebrow. this game, hm? "is that an obelian greeting, duke? how interesting. here, one would usually wish 'a long life to the protector of the siodonnan people'. that's all i am, after all - how could i be the sun?"

duke alpheus sputters. "er...i failed to acquaint myself with siodonnan culture appropriately, my apologies, your majesty. i shall do better next time."

how arrogant. still, she smiles, "i must confess, duke alpheus - i am slightly susceptible to praise, so i'll let you off this time."

"thank you, ma'am."

"although making the assumption that there will be a next time at all was quite courageous of you." diana signals the guards, who open the door to let the final participant of the meeting inside. "however -courage and bravery are traits best suited for kings and queens, duke. not lords."

the obelian delegates pale as they watch their - former - emperor, wrists bound, enter the hall with an entourage of knights.

diana glances at the newcomer. "although i suppose even for an emperor, too much of a bravado may cost a war."

anastacius de alger obelia glowers at her.

she frowns at the knights. "how come such a precious friend of mine is tied up like this? is this how we siodonnans treat our guests?"

felix bows deeply. "i apologise, ma'am - he was resisting far too much."

"whatever the case. get a seat set up right here, beside me - after all," diana smiles at the fuming obelian, "we were dining together just a few months ago, weren't we?"

"three months ago, to be precise," anastacius spits out, "after which you decided to switch tides and invade us like a coward."

she watches one of the knights set down a fancy chair to the left of hers, reaching out to untie the bindings on anastacius' wrist. diana frowns suddenly, waving over felix, "ah, is this the leash my brother used when he tamed his dragon?"

the former emperor flinches, staring down at it. "someone here tamed a dragon?" a light pink dusts his cheeks - did he really touch the actual leash of a dragon?

felix shakes his head with a small smirk. "this is the leash her majesty the late dowager empress used, ma'am. for her dog."

"-ah, right, i remember now! all the ones marked with this little purple line are used for tying down senseless animals, aren't they?"

"yes, your majesty." felix returns to his spot behind her, clear amusement swimming in his grey eyes as he watches the obelians try and maintain their composure.

diana gently lets the leash loose, a hand on the stunned anastacius' shoulder to lightly push him into the seat. "you aren't wrong - i did betray your hospitality, didn't i?"

roger alpheus winces at the sudden authority in her tone as the knights pass out a document to each of the obelian lords.

"obelia's greeting and offer for peace was kind to me, so i must return this generosity. your country is now part of the siodonnan empire, so we should be parting on a good note. will a little present suffice?"

a brunette diana remembers to be a count speaks up, "...a gift, your majesty?"

felix moves closer to the table, watching the detailed map of siodonna carved into its centre. as he raises his hand, almost as if it were a chess piece, a small island moves to the left. its color flickers between a siodonnan purple and the obelian teal.

diana sighs. "i was planning on the island of delphine, since it not only contains a relatively large gold mine, but also much tourist attraction."

oh, she can see the stars in alpheus' eyes already. "thank you, your ma-"

"but." he shrivels under her piercing gaze, "but, obelia doesn't need gold, does it? what you need is better foreign relations. and what better way to form an alliance..."

she eyes the map, and with a flick of felix's wrist, a small stretch of land connecting two continents switches from its original purple to a hue of blue.

diana looks up now, meeting even anastacius' shocked eyes. he eyes her suspiciously, "do you really-?"

she nods. "...consider it a gift from your sovereign. it is enough, yes?"

"i- uh," duke alpheus blinks twice, "the isthmus of erven is...an adequate present, yes, your majesty. the people of obelia shall thrive due to your generosity."

"it is not generosity, duke. your people are my subjects now. however, i hope you realise the isthmus isn't obelian property for obvious reasons. there is no trust between us. despite this, what i will allow is some access." diana stands, watching the foreign nobles mirror the action. "the terms and conditions of our relationship from this point onwards are in the papers before you and are, obviously, subject to change. feel free to approach me with concerns, should you have any."

"you were firmer than i'd expected with the obelians, your majesty," felix comments.

diana recoils as his eyes light up at the sight of viscaria palace. "remember when i visited obelia for anastacius' coronation? i was only seventeen, but two years into my studies as heir - and they were all over duke renauld's son! poor cousin ronnie couldn't stop apologising."

felix snorts. "the renaulds wouldn't have dared challenge your majesty's claim, not while the late empress dowager was behind you."

"ha! that's right, everyone was scared of mama." she grins fondly, "papa most of all."

the knight nods, murmuring a prayer.

"i want them gone as soon as possible," diana admits, "but there's much to settle before that. i need to fix up anastacius before we can let him back, the second prince is still...what was his name, again?"

"claude de alger obelia, ma'am."

she winces. "yes, he's an impo-"

a commotion sounds from within viscaria. felix raises an eyebrow at the shouts echoing from the beautiful building, a hand already atop his sheathed sword. "ma'am, stay back, i'll have a look- your majesty! where are you going-?!"

navigating through the decorated halls, diana halts before the entrance of the garden. the argument is between two men she doesn't recognise, as the older concubines gather to the side, amusing twinkling in their eyes.

"attention!" felix roars, "her imperial majesty, empress diana celeste!"

the two freeze in fear.

"disrupting my peace. how dare you?" diana demands.

one of them, dressed too finely for someone she hadn't even seen yet, steps forward. "your majesty, my name is xerre, i was only-"

she raises a hand, effectively shutting him up. tone softening, diana turns to the group crowding around the desert table. "lex?"

the group shuffles to let a young, silver haired young man forward. lex bows gracefully, laugh lines around his eyes crinkling. "yes, my lady?"

"do you know what happened here?"

lex nods. "the monthly salary was being distributed, your majesty, and xerre - being a present from the kingdom of masur - had some trouble believing his amount was the same as a former obelian slave's. verhan stepped in to argue that your majesty was the one to decide this, and they began fighting."

"shall i prepare for his voyage back to masur, majesty?" felix asks, as the rest of the concubines roll their eyes at his antics.

diana studies the masurian concubine, beckoning him closer. "it is common knowledge i do not generally accept gifted concubines from territories out of my own."

she watches his adam's apple rise and fall, tracing a nail over the well defined jawline. xerre shivers.

"however, your king is new to his throne, and his queen one of my dearest friends. do you realise how our alliance will look were i to send you back?"

he nods cautiously.

"i do not wish to withdraw support from someone i consider a brother, xerre. especially when he is engaged in armed conflict on two fronts."

"i- i am prepared for any punishment your majesty deems appropriate."

diana sighs softly. "i would send you to work for me in the capitol, but the rules state every concubine entering must reside here for a certain amount of time. until then, bear with it. this palace, and a life of luxury, is only meant for my favorites. clear?"

"yes, your majesty."

"my apologies, ma'am," felix says once the crowd disperses, his head hanging. "i should've prepared for your arrival with more care."

she waves off the apology, heading to the guest hall to take a look at the new obelian concubines.

"vera leaves for her son's wedding for a week and we've already had an incident. honestly, felix."

"...who's vera?"

diana pauses at the unfamiliar voice. her gaze falls on the figure sitting on the window seat, entirely immersed in the book in his hands. she blinks, stunned, watching the colourful window's filtered light paint the brilliant blonde of his hair.

felix is the first to address him, scoffing, "i believe your majesty's beauty has enchanted one of the gods - who else would dare address the empress of our nation so casually?"

diana chuckles, watching as the man stands, intrigued. she stays silent, breath hitched, as he towers over her, studying her with a curiosity that rivals hers from a moment ago. and only when he finally lowers himself to a knee does his hair part, and diana flushes at the red tinting his ears.

"greetings to her imperial majesty, may the gods grant the protector of the siodonnan people a life long and blessed."

she offers him her hand. "rise. and tell me your name."

a beat of silence passes as he stares at her outstretched hand before hesitantly accepting. "claude, your majesty."

"claude," diana tries, finding it rolls of her tongue deliciously.

he raises an eyebrow as she regards him. "your majesty...?"

diana smiles, her hand moving to touch the various jewellery adorning his fingers. gently, she slides off the gold ring off of his ring finger. "you must have a good reason to be donning an unauthorized magical item in my palace."

he doesn't answer, head lowered.

her hand lets go of his, raising to grip the blonde's jaw. diana tilts up his face, meeting his gaze. the dull grey eyes from before have vanished, replaced by glittering blues.

she inhales sharply. "you're...the obelian pr...the second prince of obelia."

he nods.

diana turns, more puzzled than angry. "why is he in my harem?"

"... didn't your majesty wish for it?" felix tilts his head in confusion.

"what? no?"

the knight frowns. "but i was so sure...your majesty said you didn't have an heir because you wanted a concubine as beautiful as me...when we took over the imperial palace, as the army swore their allegiance...your majesty said the prince was the prettiest you’ve ever seen?"

"i- felix, i was kidding!"

"...oh."

she turns to the prince then, "and you! you're a prince! how come you just went along with this??"

"well...it was the most peaceful part of the palace..."

diana gapes at the two men, before finally sighing in defeat. "you're telling me i was scouring the lands for you, while you were right...?" she raises a hand to massage her temple, "...gods grant me patience."

felix cautiously steps forward, "your majesty...i understand this is shocking, but... tonight's escort..."

she glances up at the obelian prince. "allow them all to retire. i've found the perfect escort."

a/n: hmmm this was a bit empty claudiana wise, wasn't it? their development is coming though, i had to give empress!diana an intro :) also !! the situation may seem a bit confusing rn, but next chapter will clear things up! or you can just ask me for clarification <3

💕 felix is dying to find a concubine diana likes bc he really really really wants to be an uncle

💕 in siodonna, emperors/empresses are referred to by their first(diana) + middle name(celeste) and not a last name bc they technically can't belong to a house, they belong to the empire. but the middle name is important bc you have to ask for it (from someone you love and respect usually), you're never just born with one (so you could ask a parent / friend / mentor yada yada and they give you a name they believe fits best)

Yay For 10 Years!🎉🎉

*Psst, click the image for higher quality!*

I have zero shame in saying that this show (and all related media) has changed my whole life in so many ways! I’m also not shy about the fact that my heart belongs to Yuri (I think he's so cool!) so of course he was the obvious choice for who do draw and write a short, light hearted fic about (which you can read below the cut!)💚💙

I hope everyone has had a lot of fun on this day!

“Let’s see here… Kotetsu Kaburagi damage report… Kotetsu Kaburagi damage report… Kotetsu Kaburagi... damage report…” Yuri exhaled, massaging the bridge of his nose in exasperation as he leafed through a mountain of crinkled, coffee stained documents. It was of little to no surprise that the pile of paperwork that had been left on his desk while he was away on his lunch break could mostly be attributed to the more reckless half of Sternbild’s prized crime fighting duo. With a sigh Yuri lifted the receiver of his phone, intending to politely remind Tiger once again not to use his paperwork as a coaster. However, before he could dial the number it had begun to ring.

“Justice department, Yuri Petrov speaking.” he answered, suppressing his annoyance and replacing it with his usual polite tone.

“Good afternoon Mr. Petrov, it’s Agnes. As you might be aware, today is the ten year anniversary of the Justice Tower’s remodeling.” She explained.

“Remodeling?”

“Yes. Ten years ago today all of the walls were repainted and appliances replaced to give it a more modern look to reflect a new era of Heroes.” She stated, as if that really explained anything at all.

“That is quite lovely to hear Ms. Joubert. The paint is, uh, a very nice color.” he stated politely, not even sparing a glance at the boring grey walls that surrounded him.

“Look, you don’t have to flatter me, I couldn’t care less about the paint color either. The sponsors are complaining that the returns on their investments are decreasing so we need to drum up some interest and we need to do it fast. Anything can be a reason to celebrate if you look at it right way, right? I mean, do you have any better ideas?”

“Ms. Joubert, I’m merely a judge… I apologize, but I don’t see what this has to do with me.”

“Yes, precisely! You’re a judge, bringer of justice, upholder of the law!” she passionately proclaimed “Apollon media stands for justice, as such it’s only natural that we feature a man of true justice like yourself..”

Yuri elicits a sound of smug approval and leans back in his chair “Well, I suppose when you word it in that way I may be able to see your point.”

“Fantastic! So, of course our main heroes are our star attraction, our second league heroes are a nice side dish, but you’re probably somewhere right below that when it comes to your importance in delivering justice. ”

“Oh… is that so?” Yuri asked as his briefly amused tone fell flat at her backhanded remark. Was she trying to insult him?

“Precisely.” she said as though she believed she had just bestowed upon him the complement of the century. “I was thinking, in a way you’re kind of like a minor hero yourself so maybe we could spin it as something like a ‘Meet Sternbild’s Hidden Heroes!’ segment. Of course we’ll save all the big questions for our real heroes but maybe at some point we could get your perspective on what you think of the decor of the tower and what it’s like to be a judge.”

As he began to feel the backs of his eyes grow warm he made the quick decision to end the call there before he lost his composure. “Agnes, you always have incredible ideas and I wish you all the best with pursuing that. Thank you for the information, I'll think it over. I’ll be returning to my paperwork now but please don’t hesitate to contact me again when you are in need of further assistance.”

“Oh, you're doing paperwork? In that case, this is actually a great opportunity. Stay put and act natural, I’ll be there in just a minute with the supplies and the film crew.” Agnes made a point of hanging up quickly before he even got the chance to protest.

Just as she’d promised, Agnes and her posse were barging into his office and shoving cameras in his face before he’d even been able to sign off on the first document. She wasted no time in bounding right up to his desk, turning towards the camera.

“Would you look at that, Sternbild’s very own Judge Yuri Petrov, hard at work as usual!” She gracefully spun around and held the microphone out to him “So tell us Yuri, what are you working on currently?”

He pursed his lips, just barely masking his disapproval. He had never been one for interviews, especially not while presenting simply as Judge Petrov, so he figured it best just to blurt out a few simple answers and get it over with quickly. “Well you see, Wild Tiger has again destroyed more property in one week than a group of delinquents could in their entire lifetime." He motioned to the papers in front of him "As you can see, I have a lot of damage reports that I need to-.”

It was rather frightening how suddenly Agnes was able to snap out of her charming, professional mode. “Hey! Take your job seriously!” she shouted, slamming her hands against his desk. “You’re supposed to say ‘Heh heh, I’m sure you would love to know but that’s confidential.’ and wink at the camera or something like that.”

“You’re right, my apologies." Yuri said. He tucked a lock of his hair behind his ears, shuffled his papers, and started again. Sorry, I can’t tell you what I’m working on as doing so would violate the code outlined in article 371 B of the Sternbild judic-”

“Ugh, forget it, moving on. Ahem, soooo Mr. Petrov, why don’t you tell us a little bit about what led you to become a judge and why serving justice is so important to you.”

“Ah, well that one is simple.” he said, putting on the vaguest semblance of a friendly smile “I believe that justice is important.”

Agnes nodded her head, the microphone still pointed at him for a moment longer. That is, until the moment passed without him saying anything else. “I-is that all?”

“I’m not sure what else can really be said on the topic.” he stated matter-of-factly.

“Jeez, who hired this guy…” she muttered. “Well, can you at least tell me what you think of the new penholders?”

“Aren’t these from ten years ago?”

“Well they’re newer to you because you only started working here just within the past two years.”

“Mm, I see… but couldn’t the same have been said for the pen holders that were here before the renovation if they were still here now? Does being new to me really make them new?”

Agnes lowered the microphone and gave him a look that would make even Lunatic tremble in fear. “Alright, I had hoped we could avoid it but you’ve left me no choice but to resort to plan B.”

The words “plan B” didn’t leave the most pleasant feeling in Yuri’s gut and, for a moment, he almost considered interjecting and asking to restart the interview. However, Agnes already had her mind made up and was knocking his paperwork and carefully arranged pens aside to make room for a large box displaying the company logo. She rifled through the contents, producing a large cupcake bearing red and green candles in the shape of the number ten among other various party related items.

“Bring it in.” Agnes motioned her crew closer to get a better shot as she rounded the corner of his desk and placed a large, blue and green party hat on his head, pressing it down to try and make it sit smoothly atop his curly hair. “You like these colors, right?” she asked, as if the colors were what might be wrong with this.

“Well, yes but…” he started, but she silenced him with a simple wave of her hand.

“Alright, great. Here, put this in your mouth.” she said, shoving a party blowout, rather reminiscent of Sky High's suit, towards his lips “Try not to get any lipstick on it, we need to reuse this for next year.”

“May I ask why you are making me do this?” Yuri asked, his resolve wavering.

“I’ve decided we’re doing a magazine interview instead. I’ll write out all of your answers for you, we just need a few photos of you to accompany them. Now, pretend like you’re having fun!” she reached back into the box, grabbed a handful of confetti, and sprinkled the colored paper over his head. “Cain, go go go!” she instructed, hoping not to have to waste all of their confetti on just one shoot.

Yuri complied, albeit begrudgingly, but only because it seemed to be the only way to put an end to this save for burning the place down. He gave her the smile she requested, posed with the cake, and shuffled his papers around a few more times to make it look like he had been working.

“Alright, that’s a wrap.” Agnes said at last “This should be enough to work with." She said as she began to pick what confetti she could from Yuri’s hair and place it back into the box.

“Ms. Joubert, I must ask, will something like this really be helpful to our image?” Yuri sighs.

Agnes closes up the box and sets it on the floor beside his desk.“Well, it will be interesting, that’s for sure.” she answered vaguely, “Thanks for your time, I think I can use what I got. I saw you eyeing it so you can keep the cake as compensation, just have the other stuff back to me by this evening.” She had already turned to leave before another thought popped into her head “Oh, and Yuri?”

Yuri, rather reluctantly, looked up with a questioning look. He prayed it wasn't another weird question or dumb photo idea.

“Maybe try to be a bit more cheerful sometimes, with an attitude like that people are going to start thinking you hate heroes or something. Plus, you actually look sort of pleasant when you’re smiling and having fun, even if you're just faking.” she shrugged. “Anyway, I’ll have a copy of the issue on your desk when it comes out.” she said, waving her crew after her and closing the door behind them.

Yuri, now alone in his trashed office, exhaled a sigh of relief at her departure. “I suppose the public wouldn’t be too pleased if they thought their judge hated heroes.” he remarks to himself as his glowing fingertips make contact with the candle wicks and set them alight. Once his hand had cooled he brushed it across the surface of his desk and collected the remaining confetti, repeating Agnes’s words from their phone call earlier about how anything can be a reason to celebrate. He took the stack of papers and shoved it into the bottom drawer of his desk. In a swift movement he sat back and tossed the confetti into the air above his head in celebration of ,what he just decided, was going to be a well deserved and much needed day off. As the scraps of paper rained down on him he recalled her other words and smiled to himself.
