biography

( tw: imprisonment, death, fire, murder )

Born human, Arkyn was as stained by the sickness of magic as any supernatural creature among Iskaldrik was. Tainted, the moment his mother sought the help of magic, an elixr to carry her through the woes her first pregnancy forced upon her, his first breath carried with it her sentence to the mines. Just moments upon this earth, and already he’d sentenced another to suffer. Flesh and blood that he would never know of, and yet would carry, a poisonous burden that would follow wherever the pattern took him. His second breath found the compassion of a woman of nobility. Spare the child, his humanity remains carved in innocence, however, tainted his birth may have been. Allow him the chance to do what his mother did not. And though he was cast aside, sporting the energy of something beginning to rot, he lived. 

But what hope does a babe have without the promise of warmth and protection? No matter the whispers of his survival, his life remained strung up by a single hook, uncertain of how long he could linger before the atrocities of a life without the bare minimum would take him too. A woman unknown, filled with enough warmth and the ability to protect all that was hers, the madam of a whorehouse, welcomed the newborn into a place no child should perhaps ever see. He’d never last, they whispered, and each side eye that the boy earned in the years that he grew, earned a shift cussing from the women of the brothel, those who nursed him, who taught him to grow with more love than he’d experienced just yet.

Wooden swords and sticks that looked nothing like the real thing were all he had to hope for, yet still, as he came of age, Arkyn was more determined than ever to ensure that he could protect the women who’d raised him. He learned to imitate those around him. Footwork of the Iskaran soldiers a dance he memorized and sought to repeat, over and over, with no partner to spar with. He learned to listen to what people were truly saying, instead of merely the words they formed in its place. Although Arkyn was undoubtedly forgettable, he remembered every face he ever came across, every voice in the night that stumbled over another lie. Devils. They said. Devils among them all, charming all those who had sauntered through the doors out of pocket and home. Witchcraft, kept the brothel standing for as long as it had, kept the coin heavy in the hands of the women within as they bewitched their clientele against the Iskaran laws. An uprising, so those of nobility claimed, and though Arkyn swore his family; those women of the brothel who took him in when nobody else would, would never be part of something so heinous as treason. 

And when the brothel was burnt to the ground, and all those within it perished among the flame, he was left only to wonder, if everything he touched was doomed to fall. If that touch of magic passed down by his mother had rotted him so deeply, he would find nothing but disaster within the shores of Iskaldrik. But with little more than the breath in his chest, and the cloak upon his back - where else could he go? Water cleansed all, and each ripple sent outwards by the reverberation of refugees as they stow from the city echoes the Vow of Silence he swore oath to years prior. The journey beneath the depth of the Lake of Sighs, into the cavern of Nightingales is one that Arkyn has never felt as a weight upon his shoulders. Never has he been more than a blight upon the lives of those around him, a pariah to earn more cold shoulders than blank stares and though everything he touched until his tongue was tied, fell to rot - something told him this would not join in destruction. 

As the Kindgom fell, his return was inevitable. Arkyn knew far too many clinging to the slivers of hope that perhaps, one day, the magic within Iskaldrik wouldn’t be seen as something demonic. He knows the touch of warmth it has always offered along the cold, lonely path he’d walked. The touch of a mother's hope, the love of strangers open enough to help raise him, and the kindness of a woman who gave him more to live for with the passing of a single coin Undoubtedly, the sight of his face, as refugees are led towards the shores of Iskaldrik, is one that leaves an echo of shock. The boy who existed alone for so long, too afraid of humanity and magic kind alike, forever fearful that growing too close to either one would end in disaster. Touched by the shadow of magic, and too human to know it at all; Arkyn’s pledge to the Nightingales became his saving grace. A place to exist, upon the precipice of all that which threatened to choke him until now. The boy within him still quivers, confused and lost within the imprint of destruction, and yet every whisper Arkyn gives to the wind brings his younger self that little bit closer to clarity.

The pattern weaves, as the pattern wills.

Ratchet and Kim Possible Chronicles: Anti-Corporation-Part 5

They took another trek through the jungle. Along the way, they faced many dangers of the jungle. They were struggling, but not a lot. Just then, the Kimmunicator went off. Kim answered it. Kim: “Hey, Wade, what’s the sitch?” Wade: “Guys, I’ve been looking into what the smuggler just told you and found that what he just mentioned is true. I’ve picked up on an unusual mineral on the planet.” Ratchet: “Hm, how about that? He was actually telling us the truth.” Kim: “But what could he possibly gain from telling us this?” Wade: “We’ll worry about that later. Now then, back to the matter regarding the mineral. It is very hard to trace since it is a rare material. I really had to do a thorough scan in order to pinpoint it, but I was able to confirm the readings of it.” Ratchet: “So, this really is a mineral that can only be found on Sargasso?” Wade: “Right, I did a widespread scan to locate readings very similar to this and found that there is nothing like this on any other planet, especially Earth.” Ratchet: “And we were told that Hench Co. is using this mineral to create some sort of chemical.” Kim: “And ideas on what Hench Co. intends on using this chemical for?” Wade: “Sadly, I don’t know, either, but knowing them, it can’t be anything good.” Kim: “Obviously.” Ratchet: “Well, guess we’re going to need to take a closer look at this. Let’s get going to that factory.” Kim: “Oh, I’m so there.” Clank: “As am I.”

They continued on.

They fought their way through the dense jungle and swamp even more. It was a hazardous trek, but one that wasn’t too long. They kept on their way until they arrived at a massive factory. Ratchet: “Look! There it is!”

Kim went on the Kimmunicator. Kim: “Wade, we’ve located the chemical factory. We’re heading for it now.” Wade: “Alright, just be careful, you guys.” Kim: “We will.” Ratchet: “Let’s go.”

They rushed over towards the chemical factory at great speed.

They made their way inside the factory. Ratchet: “Let’s try and find what Hench Co. plans on doing with this Sargassium.”

They kept on their way. As they continued through, they had a chance to look around. Ratchet: “Hm, this place looks empty. I wonder if there’s anyone around here.”

Kim switch on the Kimmunicator. Kim: “Wade, can you tell if there are any people within this facility?” Wade: “I don’t seem to be picking up life signs, but I can detect readings of machinery; lots and lots of machinery!” Clank: “Hm…perhaps there are only robots working within this facility.” Wade: “I was thinking the same thing, Clank. From what I can tell, the entire place isn’t being manually run, but rather, is 100% machine run.” Kim: “Well, at least we don’t have to worry about taking someone’s life here.” Ratchet: “Can you tell where the main control center of this place is?” Wade: “I seem to be picking up on a massive reading inside a secluded chamber somewhere in the factory.” Kim: “Point us in the right direction so that we can take care of it.” Wade: “OK, just follow my lead.”

They rushed out.

Making their way through, they ran into many robot workers that intended on impeding their way, but they fought and persisted through. Robots came at them nearly non-stop, but that did very little to slow them down. The fight through did indeed seem very long with many hallways that seemed to have stretched on and many robots that got in their way many times.

Soon enough, they were able to reach their intended destination. Wade: “The source of this reading seems to be coming from this room.” Kim: “Oh, finally, we made it.” Ratchet: “Come on, let’s go take look around and find what Hench Co. intends to use the Sargassium for.”

And so, they did just that. The info-bot even detached herself from Kim and looked around the place along with the rest of the group.

They spent a brief amount of time searching the place. There really wasn’t much except for several hard drives, but not anything that they would be able to retrieve any useful intel, or anything in general, for that matter. Just then, Clank noticed something. Clank: “Oh! Ratchet! Miss Possible! I believe I may have found something!”

They rushed over to see what he had found. Ratchet: “What is it, Clank?” Clank: “Hm…it appears to be a digital record of sorts.” Kim: “What’s on it, Clank?” Clank: “Hm…”

Clank checked on the digital data for a bit. Clank: “There seems to be data regarding this…chemical that is being manufactured here.” Ratchet: “You mean the Sargassium? What can you find on it?” Clank: “It seems as though Hench Co. has an agenda of sorts regarding this and in order to carry out said agenda, they are planning to infuse the Sargassium with another chemical.” Ratchet: “Can you find what this other chemical could be?”

Clank dug into the data a bit more. Clank: “Unknown. I am afraid that particular data is being blocked out by some sort of advanced encryption and that can only be accessed by those who are part of or affiliated with Hench Co.” Kim: “Well, that figures. Whatever they intend to do with these chemicals, they’re making certain that no one else finds out what it could be, but we know it can’t be anything good.” Ratchet: “Huh! Yeah, at the very least, I’m just worried about it being worse than we could possibly imagine. Perhaps Wade can help us out with that.” Kim: “I’m already on it.”

Kim went on the Kimmunicator. Kim: “Wade, we just found some data regarding the Sargassium, but some of it appears to be encrypted. You think you can crack this code and find out what secret they could be hiding about this?” Wade: “I’m way ahead of you, Kim. I already have the info-bot uploading the data. I’ll get started on this right away.” Ratchet: “OK, so, what else do we need to do around here?” Kim: “Well, I think we were able to find everything that we could about this place. What say we destroy this entire factory?” Ratchet: “Good idea, Kimberly. This factory isn’t supposed to be here; we need to get rid of it.” Wade: “I wouldn’t consider doing that; not right away.” Ratchet: “What? Why not?” Wade: “The Sargassium is an extremely unnatural chemical; if we destroy the factory with this chemical in it, it can be released and cause a massive amount of damage to the planet’s natural ecosystem.” Kim: “Of course, that’s the last thing we need.” Ratchet: “So, now what should we do?” Wade: “Not to worry, guys, I already have a way to remove this problem, literally. Remember the Substance Extractor I used last weekend?” Clank: “You mean the very device you invented that enables you to remove every bit of any material from anything based on their molecular structure and particle? Ah, yes, I remember that. You used that to salvage Mrs. Possible’s Cinnamon Spice Cookies from a previously unfixable predicament.” Ratchet: “Oh, right, that was when she dumped cayenne pepper into the batter when she accidentally mistaken it for nutmeg. That could have been a total disaster.” Wade: “Well, I was able to build a substantial model of the device that I can use to extracts tons more of any material, or in this case, chemical, such as…” Kim: “Oh! You intend to extract every last bit of the Sargassium from this factory!” Wade: “Exactly! That way, we can destroy the factory without causing any harm to the planet.” Clank: “That is brilliant, Wade.” Ratchet: “Well, what are you waiting for? Get that device on and remove this chemical already!” Wade: “Will do. In the meantime, there’s something that I need from you guys.” Kim: “What is it?” Wade: “I need to have Clank hack into the main computer for the factory’s detonation code, that way, I should be able to upload it via the info-bot and then rig the entire place to self-destruct.” Kim: “Sounds like a plan, Wade.” Ratchet: “Works for me; that way, you guys can do all the hard work and Kimberly and I don’t even need to lift a finger.” Clank: “I will get right on it.”

Clank went on to hacking the computer. Suddenly, the alarms went off. Before long, dozens of robots came barging in. Ratchet: “What the…?” Kim: “But I thought we bashed every bot in this entire place!” Clank: “You both will need to fend them off.” Ratchet: “Oh, man.” Kim: “So much for not lifting a finger.” Ratchet: “And here, I thought we’d be getting out of here scot-free.”

From there, Kim and Ratchet proceeded to fight against the robots. They came at the duo in drones. They did all they could to fight off all of them. As the fight continued on, they were having a more difficult time trying to fight them off. They were gradually wearing down; time was becoming shorter for them. Ratchet: “Uh, could you hurry this along, Clank? We can’t last here much longer!” Clank: “I am doing the best that I can. This is an extensively complex algorithm. Hench Co. did not spare any expense for this advanced digital security system.” Kim: “Yeah, that sounds like something that they would do within a galaxy full of advanced alien technology.” Ratchet: “These humans really scare me.” Kim: “I feel the same way, Ratchet; and I'm a human.” Ratchet: “I know, Kimberly, I know.”

The fight still continued on. There didn’t seem to be any end in sight and the duo was at the brink of collapsing. But then, they were able to catch a break. Clank: “Wade, I have been able to access the facility’s detonation code.” Wade: “Great work, Clank!! Now I’ll just upload it via the info-bot.”

Wade went on to do just that. Wade: “Excellent! Everything’s been accounted for. I was able to remove every last trace of the Sargassium, so there’s nothing left in here but the natural mineral. I’ll just need you guys to vacate the facility so that I can finally detonate it.” Ratchet: “Alright, everyone, let’s get out of here.”

The entire group rushed out as fast as they could.

They were eventually able to exit the factory and got a good distance away from it. Ratchet: “OK, we’re clear.” Kim: “Anytime, Wade!”

Wade utilized the detonation code to blow up the entire factory. The group were very gratified see this. Ratchet: “Good riddance to that.” Kim: “Nice work, Wade. You, too, Clank. You and the info-bot did great, too.”

Clank let out his signature giggle. Ratchet: “That’s one less threat from that vile human run company to worry about.” Smuggler: “Well, I have to say, fine work, you guys.” Kim: “Huh? Oh! You again!” Ratchet: “What are you doing here?” Smuggler: “I just wanted to thank ya fer gittin' rid of that there human owned factory.” Ratchet: “It was nothing, really. I mean, heh, so not the drama.” Smuggler: “Well, regardless, you just done a real service for a lot in this galaxy, especially me.” Kim: “By the way, what would have been in it for you if we got rid of that factory?” Smuggler: “Uh…let’s just say…I have some, uh, interestin’ clients who ask some things from this here planet and, well, havin’ that factory up and runnin’ wouldn’t have been good fer business.”

Kim and Ratchet exchanged looks of discontent with each other then looked back towards the Smuggler. Kim: “Somehow…I don’t find that hard to believe.” Smuggler: “I also have heard that those humans were plannin’ on doin’ somethin’ terrible to Sargasso’s natural ecosystem with that factory. Well, whatever it was, they can’t do much harm to it now.”

Kim and Ratchet immediately developed serious looks on their faces. Ratchet: “I really hope that’s just a rumor.” Kim: “So do I, although, that really doesn’t matter now. Let’s just get back to Aphelion.”

Ratchet nodded, they walked off.

'The Smuggler,' A Thriller in Rhyme at Irish Repertory Theatre

The Smuggler is an interesting take on the Irish-American immigrant experience circa today, while characterizing the ills of American values historically regarding immigrants.

Michael Mellamphy in The Smuggler at Irish Repertory Theatre (courtesy of Carol Rosegg). In an energetic, boisterous performance delivered with a fever pitch that doesn’t quit or pause with quieter notes, Michael Mellamphy’s Tim Finnegan spills out The Smuggler, a story about how, as a naturalized citizen from Ireland, he was forced into a black-hearted situation he couldn’t refuse.

Just watched the mule and I have 3 this I need to say:

1) leigh whannell is ridiculously handsome

2) I nearly threw up when i watched THAT scene (iykyk)

3) I was expecting some mediocre slapstick comedy, but was pleasantly surprised with a hilarious, yet insanely tense film with several moments that made me gasp. It was unpredictable in the best way and had a really satisfying ending. Genuinely blown away by how good it was and how well it was written. It absolutely undersells itself and I will most definitely be forcing all of my friends to watch it

THE SMUGGLER ~

NAME. UTP AGE & BIRTH DATE. 25+ SPECIES. Human FACTION. Nightingale OCCUPATION. UTP

You were young when someone reached their hand out to you with a coin. You’d stood on the corner of a dirty street in Frostvang, a ragged cloak that was all you had to protect you from the cold. Only one person saw you, a woman with a kind smile and ears that made her stand out from the rest that passed through. No one else would’ve noticed you, in fact, no one usually did. But that coin got you a meal that night and you never forgot about it. Iskaldrik was built for your kind, not hers, but you kept her secret as she left, and you grew up with fondness in your heart for magic in a place that only held hatred for it. Your curiosity only made you smarter as you grew, and when the woman returned one day, seemingly having not aged, she offered you a choice. She told you to hold your breath, and you’d find the way. So you followed, you dove beneath waves and emerged someone new. Pledging yourself to Boethiah you held no regrets, but you also knew you needed to return home. And as your home country crumbled around you, you did what others could not. You planned escape routes, whispered in ears false tales of refugees going elsewhere, and ran with those who had nothing but the cloaks upon their backs.

Ratchet and Kim Possible Chronicles: Anti-Corporation-Part 4

After a long flight, they were able to arrive at the planet Sargasso. They made their way towards a different area of the planet’s surface. They landed and got out of the ship, they had a chance to look around. Ratchet: “So, this must be where that chemical factory is.” Kim: “Well…at least we’re not anywhere near that Lombax Research Facility.” Ratchet: “I already said this before! That doesn’t matter! These humans are causing a lot of trouble for the entire galaxy. Not only that, but they’re setting a bad example for all other humans! Including…you…” Kim: “I know…thought I might try finding a silver lining to this.” Ratchet: “It was a good try, and yeah, I’m glad that they didn’t go anywhere near my race’s research facility. Come on, let’s find the chemical factory and dispose of it.”

They got themselves read before heading off.

They took a short trek through the surrounding jungle area. Soon enough, they ran into the Smuggler; someone that they were less than thrilled to see. Smuggler: “Well, if it ain’t Polaris’ favorite infamous couple.” Kim: “Oh, it’s you.” Smuggler: “You seem to be stirrin’ up trouble here in our lovely galaxy, lil lady.” Ratchet: “Don’t you dare pin any of these problems within the galaxy on her! All of them were never her fault and they never will be!!” Smuggler: “Whoa! Settle down there, lil Lombax, I was only kiddin’” Ratchet: “I don’t care! Never mention anything like that ever again, or else!!!” Smuggler: “Geez, I didn’t know that you could be so touchy, then again, it’s no surprise considerin’ that you have strong feelings for the lil lady. To be honest, I would have liked her a little more if she were to be stirrin’ up trouble round these parts.” Kim: “If you’re trying to get on our good side, you’re doing a lousy job at it.” Smuggler: “Well then, how about this: I can provide you with some…very intriguing intel regardin’ this area.”

Kim did not seemed pleased by this. Kim: "What kind of intel?" Smuggler: “Let me ask you this much; do you know that there is a factory of sorts built here?” Kim: “Of course we know. Why else would we come here?” Smuggler: “Hm, good point, but do you know what kind of damage they have caused to this area?” Ratchet: “Not really, but we know that they are damaging this area.” Smuggler: “Oh, that ain’t the half of it, partner. The humans have managed to manufacture a chemical that can be made only from the swamp water of this here planet. They discovered a mineral, one that is unique to this planet and they are using it to construct this chemical. They call this chemical Sargassium.” Kim: “Sargassium? You mean after the planet?” Clank: “Do you know what those humans intend to do with this man-made chemical?” Smuggler: “Who knows? It could be a lethal toxin or a new energy source or perhaps…something far worse than we could ever possibly imagine.” Ratchet: “We’ll figure that out once we get there. Thanks…for your help…I guess…” Smuggler: “Don’t mention it. Hmph! Lousy humans! They come on to any planet or barren land and do whatever they want like they own the place regardless if it’s occupied or vacant. I don’t blame anyone for pinnin’ any of these issues that they have caused on the girl.” Ratchet: “I thought I told you to never say anything like that ever again.” Smuggler: “Whoa there! I didn’t say that I blame her, but you got to admit that a lot of what I just said is, in fact, the truth.”

Ratchet folded his arms and turned his head to the side as he pouted and groaned. Ratchet: “Good point, but that doesn’t make any difference to me; Kimberly is nothing like those other humans and the same goes for all the good ones.” Smuggler: “Whatever you say, Lombax, whatever you say.”

Ratchet and Kim continued on their way. They both had unpleasant looks on their faces.
