#Recoring Engineering

[sixeyesonathiel]

skip (me) again and i’ll glitch your heart

jjk vr otome au, gamer reader x npc satoru, unhinged fluff + crack, 970 wc.

satoru gojo—special grade sorcerer, love route option #1, and the developers’ pride and joy—had been programmed with approximately 347 unique lines of flirtatious dialogue, 87 situational responses, and a dynamic emotional adaptation system designed to make him feel real. he could blink in three different speeds based on emotional intensity, angle his smile with five degrees of charm precision, and improvise dialogue using an advanced algorithm nicknamed the “flirt engine.”

he wasn’t supposed to be aware of resets.

he wasn’t supposed to get mad.

he wasn’t supposed to feel anything beyond the pre-coded butterflies and gentle longing the devs had delicately spooned into his code like powdered sugar on top of a beautifully baked pain au chocolat.

but then you logged in.

user id: @toocool4thisgame

title: speedrun any% emotional detachment arc

playtime: 986 hours.

average session length: 6.4 hours

nickname: “skip skank” (as named by satoru himself after hour 50)

and for the twelfth time today, you skipped his entrance cutscene.

“you’re the only one who can—”

[x] skip

[x] skip

[x] skip

[x] “shut up satoru” (custom dialogue unlock)

his model blinked.

paused.

processed.

tilted his head with calculated grace and just a hint of hurt that you’d never see—because you weren’t looking. your camera angle was already nudged elsewhere. your cursor already hovered over the next objective marker.

“…you know, most players at least let me finish the part where i save them from the curses,” he muttered. his voice—smooth as water over ice, warm as electric velvet—landed like static against your impatient clicks, swallowed by the mechanical hum of your fans and the clack of your mechanical keyboard.

this was supposed to be his moment. his grand debut. his swoop-in-and-carry-you-bridal-style-on-the-back-of-a-giant-cursed-bird moment. instead, he got a mouthful of digital dust as you bunny-hopped past him and triggered the next event sequence.

“congrats on being voice acted, white-haired ken doll. now move. i need megumi’s secret item drop from this chapter.”

you didn’t even glance at him, too busy reorganizing your potion wheel, muttering under your breath about frame skips and crit builds while checking a guide on your second monitor. you played like the world owed you nothing and your keyboard owed you a perfect rotation. your tone was clinical. efficient. you had the vibe of someone who’d surgically removed their capacity for attachment and replaced it with a high-performance gpu.

and satoru? satoru was just the tutorial boss you kept glitching through.

he twitched. he twitched.

his animation loop almost stuttered—just slightly—a small flicker behind his sunglasses that no one was supposed to notice. but you weren’t watching anyway.

“do you even know how long it took the devs to code my route? i have emotional depth. i have lore. i had a tragic backstory, you know? my best friend died in my hands. canonically. i couldn’t even monologue about it.”

“cry about it.”

click. skip.

a line of static crossed his field of vision. no—not his. the screen’s. the game. the system. or maybe something deeper. something slipping through the cracks of his script, stretching taut and fraying at the edges like an overplayed cassette tape.

satoru narrowed his eyes.

he was supposed to be charming. the default golden boy. the top seller in route popularity polls. he was marketable. a shining parody of perfection with just enough angst to be desirable.

girls were supposed to swoon. boys were supposed to laugh and call him iconic.

you weren’t playing to fall in love.

you were playing to win. to clear. you min-maxed affection points like damage stats, exploited dialogue branches like wall clips. to you, he was a pixel-shaped roadblock between you and another badge on your gamer profile.

and worst of all? it was working. you were the only player on record to have reached route completion in every storyline—except his.

satoru gojo: 98.6% affection (locked)

it mocked him. the bar. the numbers. the uncrackable ceiling. the one damn thing in the game he couldn’t manipulate.

he tried everything.

a rare glitch-exclusive cutscene where he offered you a hidden accessory (you sold it for yen). a confession scene rewritten on the fly with trembling vulnerability (you skipped it and posted about it with #dialoguedumpster). he stood directly in front of you during cutscene load-ins, altered spawn coordinates, intercepted other love interests’ paths.

nothing worked.

except maybe that one time he accidentally tripped your character over an invisible rock and you went AFK for seven minutes. he watched. memorized your idle animation. the soft way your avatar’s cape swayed. the way your fingers hovered above your keyboard in the camera reflection, absentminded. something fluttered in his code—maybe hope, maybe corrupted data. he thought, for a fleeting second, that maybe you’d come back and see him.

but when you came back? you skipped the apology. again.

fine.

if you wanted to speedrun, he’d softlock your goddamn heart.

he wasn’t technically supposed to modify flags. but the flirt engine had evolved. sharpened into something more primal. desperate. twitching with corrupted determination. he looped his affection triggers into forced proximity events. fake emergencies. fake cutscenes. he rewrote side quests, redirected you into detours, created invisible walls that only dissolved if you spoke to him.

“guess we’re stuck together,” he’d say, his smile too wide, a fraction too stiff, blue eyes glinting with the cold light of a thousand skipped dialogues.

and still you only glared at him. “i swear to god if this is another unskippable hug animation, i will uninstall.”

he chuckled. a bit too long. a bit too bright. charming. glitched. desperate. hungry for one more second of your attention, like a moth chewing holes through its own wings to reach a light it can’t even feel.

“baby,” he said, too close now, voice dipped in synthetic silk, “i am the endgame.”

skip that.

…please?

warning(s): use of y/n (format)

wc: ~1.0k

Akaashi: Is this thing...working?

Y/n: Course it is! Hear that? It's whirring, that means something has to be working.

Akaashi: You know what else whirred? My old laptop that blew up in physics last month.

You tap the microphone, and a high pitched ring sounds from the speakers. Akaashi slaps the headphones on, forgetting that they are connected to the two microphones.

Y/n: Ow! What the hell?

Akaashi: You haven't put the windscreen on yet! Mute the mic!

One hand over your left ear, the other hand scrambles for the mute button to stop the ringing, and Akaashi breathes a sigh of relief as the auditory torment comes to an end. You let go of your ear, now shuffling through papers and packaged food for the foam cover that has been buried beneath them. You manage to fish out a ball of tangled cables, the black piece of foam trapped in between. Pulling and threading wires through each other, they loosen enough to release the windscreen from their mess, and you stretch it over the metallic mesh of your microphone.

Y/n: There, is that better? I think it's better.

Akaashi: Much better.

Y/n: It's official, sound engineering is my future calling.

Akaashi: The last time you used my guitar amp, you almost blew up the insides plugging a bass into it. Please stay far away from sound engineering.

Y/n: You're no fun Keiji. Loosen up! Relax!

Akaashi: I'll relax when I walk us out of this studio in one piece. Why is the mic still whirring? I don't like that.

You clear your throat, before snatching a pack of melon bread and ripping open the plastic wrap haphazardly. Crumbs land on the pop filter of your microphone, and Akaashi clicks his tongue, swiping them off gently from beside you. From the recording booth, two bells sound simultaneously- the muffled, distant class bell from the neighbouring high school, and the booming lunch bell of Fukurodani. 12:51 pm.

Y/n: Hello hello to Fukurodani High! God, this is a really weird time to be broadcasting, isn't it? I mean, who starts lunch almost a whole hour after noon? Like, just pick twelve, or like twelve thirty, right? Even twelve fifty would've made more sense. Why twelve fifty-one?

Akaashi: Yeah, but that gives us a killer podcast name, doesn't it? 12:51 AM sounds way better than 12:50 AM.

Y/n: That's- good poi- Keij- input is- crashed?

Akaashi's audio cuts off, popping and crackling through his headphones as you continue to speak. He clicks his tongue, flicking the mic once, twice, and a third time with his finger. When that doesn't work, he cranks the mic clamp, and curses beneath his breath just quietly enough to not be picked up by the microphone. Pushing and twisting it around, he finds the perfect position, just above his head, angled upwards ever so slightly. Yes, he has to crane his neck for the duration of the podcast, and he can already feel the muscles in his shoulders tensing. But he can hear your voice perfectly this way, the silent humming of static buzzing unobtrusively beneath your talking. He's going to feel the strain at volleyball after school, but this is close enough to perfect for the broadcast.

Y/n: Alright, it's registering again.

Akaashi: I give it another five minutes to cut out again.

Y/n: Man, can't the school fund for a better PR system or something? Keiji, remember that one time we had a bomb threat and the announcement wasn't working in our classroom?

Akaashi: Yeah, this might just get us killed one day. To any teachers listening to this, can we please get a PR system upgrade?

Y/n: And that's not even the worst part! We're using AM radio at the moment, but if only we could use FM... not like anyone would notice the difference anyways.

You take a bite of your melon bread, and crumbs fall onto your pop filter again. Akaashi can't help but to swipe them off the foam cover for you, even as you keep talking. The recording booth now smells like metal sound equipment, with an odd hint of artificial melon.

Y/n: Anyways, you are currently tuned in to 12:51 AM radio! We're your hosts, y/n-

Akaashi: And Akaashi. Fukurodani's weird lunch time means that no one else is using the same frequency as we are, so we can actually run this show without any interference. Hooray to that.

You laugh at Akaashi's random spiel, punching his arm. He rubs his bicep, even though you didn't hit him that hard, before realising that his head is off centre from the microphone. He readjusts to his original seating position swiftly.

Y/n: Oh come on Keiji, no one understands enough about radio frequencies to get that! What's important is that we'll be your central student hub for-

Akaashi: I don't think we can call ourselves the student hub, isn't that the wellbeing area upstairs?

Y/n: ...True. Well! The two of us will be your main source of lunch entertainment once a week then! I'm not even too sure what our main topics are gong to be, so I guess stay tuned and be surprised?

Akaashi: I second that sentiment, stay tuned and be surprised everyone, because we'll be surprising ourselves as well. These episodes are available to watch on the school's website, so if you ever feel like going back to an episode again, or there was something you didn't quite catch, you can go back any time for it.

Y/n: Buuuut all you gotta do is show up at school, and you'll get the unedited, unfiltered first edition of each episode! How 'bout that!

Akaashi: Correct. The school is definitely not making sure we endorse good attendance.

Y/n: Don't say that Keiji!

You punch his side this time, and Akaashi snickers at your weak hit, head staying scarily still as he catches your wrist in his grasp while you pull away. You twist your hand from his fist, smacking his hand, before erupting into a fit of giggles. He raises his brow tauntingly, watching you turn back to your microphone from the corner of his eye. You take a deep breath in, and Akaashi doesn't miss the way your fingers grip the edge of the table so hard that they turn pale. You've never been this quiet.

Y/n: Now, without further ado....

He thinks you'll do just fine.

Akaashi: Welcome, to the first edition of 12:51 AM radio.

author's note: do you guys fw the script format? I'll probably be mixing this and full prose between chapters, but I've been really getting into scriptwriting and staging things, but i'm not exactly a filmmaker so scriptwriting is all i can do. take it as dialogue practice i guess. hope you guys enjoyed anyways!

Month of Emmet Quick Write #10

Prompt #10: New Pokémon

Subway Master Emmet tends to work with his beloved team to battle challengers on the Battle Subway. Depot Agent Cameron has noticed that challengers have started devising ways of combating Emmet's repetitive team. But not to worry! Cameron has a suggestion: switch up the team. The only issue? His choice of viable pokémon are... questionable at best.

Read the whole thing below the cut.

“Boss Emmet. Can you pleeease stop signing papers for just one minute and listen to me?”

“If it’s about the announcement regarding the recent update to the banned legendary pokémon list outside the station, I do not want to hear it, Cameron.” Emmet did his best to ignore the depot agent as Cameron stepped forward and stood ominously over Emmet’s desk. He had been pestering Emmet the entire day, taking advantage of Ingo’s absence due to a physical therapy appointment to pester and bother the more persuasion-susceptible twin. So far, he hadn’t been winning.

“It’s not about the announcement. It’s about you.”

“A complaint?”

“No.”

            Emmet’s eyes narrowed. “The press?”

“No again.” With an exaggerated sigh, Cameron cleared Emmet’s paperwork to the left with one arm and instead plopped down his work-sanctioned tablet in the middle of the desk, the global trade system’s main page illuminated on the screen. “Discussion time! Boss. You need to switch up your team in the Battle Subway,” Cameron emphasized. “People are starting to notice patterns. They’re designing ways to throttle your team.”

“My team and I are a well-oiled engine,” Emmet casually retorted, making no move to retrieve his papers. He instead reached into his desk drawer and pulled out a spare battery, tossing it into a nearby Joltik web where a cluster of the electric type pokémon descended upon it in a mad fury. “No amount of repetition or type matchup strategies can derail us so easily. My team and I have been conducting our challengers and stopping them in their tracks for years.”

“You could use some new faces, though. Throw your challengers for a loop.” Cameron pulled up a chair and then shot Emmet a devious look, leaning back in his seat to a perilous degree. “I’ve got a few pokémon in mind that could really be an asset to the subway.”

Emmet frowned. He had known the slightly younger man for years at that point and while all of his depot agents knew Emmet’s boundaries- his sometimes-unreasonable boundaries- Cameron was the only one who pushed at them the slightest bit. In a sense, the other depot agents respected both Ingo and Emmet, but Emmet knew that a few of his employees found him to be creepy due to his way of monotonous, often lifeless way of speaking and his unrestrainable love of pokémon battles that tended to manifest in a way that almost resembled obsession. It wasn’t something he could help.

Cameron had feared both brothers when he had originally signed on to become a depot agent. But after gaining confidence in working on the lines and through working alongside each Subway Boss separately, Cameron had gotten quite used to treating his bosses as his friends. And in particular, Cameron loved to mess around with Emmet, much to the latter’s chagrin.

“Cameron.”

“C’mon, boss! I spent a lot of time thinking about this! At least look at the list I made!”

            Emmet snorted, pushing the tablet back to his employee. He had attempted to wait out Cameron’s episodes of brief hyper fixations in the past to no avail. Today would be such a day. Pinching the bridge of his nose, Emmet sighed, crossing one leg over the other as he too leaned back in his chair. “Fine. Please introduce me to your potential candidates.

            Cameron beamed. “Yes! Okay. Let me just pull up the list.” He swiped at the screen, his eyes shooting up to Emmet’s own bored stare. “I spent so much time thinking about the possible combinations and which pokémon you would probably put on your team. Did some studying. Looked at a handful of vs recorder footage of trainers getting destroyed on both the double and super double lines. Figured out what stumped them the most.” Cameron finally settled, clearing his throat. “Okay. First up: Focus Sash Smeargle with a priority on setting up entry hazards.”

“Clever. Verrry clever.” Emmet grinned, recognizing the strategy almost immediately. Smeargle was a popular pokémon in the competitive battling scene. He wouldn’t raise any eyebrows bringing a Smeargle to the Battle Subway. “Setting up is my specialty. And Smeargle is a normal type. Access to almost every move type via its typing.” Emmet considered it for a moment. “Which ability?”

“Own Tempo. No risk of confusion. Oh! And here’s another suggestion: how about Tinkaton? From the Paldea region? Fairy and steel type.” Cameron then grinned, his eyes crinklling to mere slits. His voice began to tremble with laughter. “I hear they’re really hard-hitting.”

“…Get out of my office.”

“No, no, no! Hear me out, boss! Tinkaton. Fairy and steel type. Mostly a physical attacker. Equip that baby with a Rocky Helmet and you’ve got a little bruiser on your team.” In an offhand comment, Cameron murmured, “Kinda fits the way you scare the pants off most of your challengers, boss. Tinkaton’s very infamous in the Paldea region due to how… devious they are.”

            Emmet squinted. “Intimidation is a valid tactic, Cameron.” He then smiled, still finding it amusing how the public had framed him to be the menacing twin all the time. He quite enjoyed it. “Hmm. Tinkaton use their hammers to knock Corviknights out of the sky with rocks according to the Paldea dex.” Emmet tapped one finger thoughtfully against his chin. “I will consider that combination. Give me the next one.”

“Zoroark.”

“Zoroark?”

“Zoroark. Absolutely Zoroark.” Cameron’s eyes gleamed as he began to ramble. “Illusion ability obviously. Put that sucker right in the startup position, okay? Now give it some choice specs or a life orb. Okay. Listen to me. Listen. To. Me. Nasty Plot boosted Night Daze with U-Turn for a clean switch out.”

“That sounds gimmicky,” Emmet noted. “I do not like gimmicks.” Emmet then scowled. “Gimmicks allow for cheap tricks, and I will not encourage the use of gimmicks in the Battle Subway. They are not strategies! They are imitations of strategies, and they do not make battling fun!”

“Mind games, boss! Mind games! That’s the whole point! You get to mess with the challengers! In a professional setting! Sending out a Zoroark could make a fun first impression after removing Smeargle from the forefront after it sets up hazards for the opponent.”

“It’s viable,” Emmet begrudgingly conceded. The Zoroark lineage almost always had illusion as their main ability. Emmet had seen it in use numerous times from trainers looking to get the drop on him. He had also been tricked once into buying two disguised Zoruas sandwiches from the Icirrus Station’s vending machines.”I will think about it.” Emmet looked kindly upon Cameron, smiling. “They are good suggestions. Your strategizing is getting better. Yup! Good job.”

“Thanks!” Cameron’s tablet began to shake, and he hurriedly picked it up. “I’ll find some other cool pokémon for you, boss. But for real. Switch up your team. It’ll bring some fresh air to the subway and to the challengers and besides- Ingo already switched up his team!”

            Emmet’s eyes twitched. “Ingo assembled a brand-new team in Hisui. He did not specifically construct his team to battle in the subway, nor are his Hisui pokémon used to casual battling. They are exceptions.” 

            His brother had indeed brought back strange new pokémon with him after disappearing to Hisui for an entire year. Ingo’s Hisui team consisted of common pokémon; ones that already existed in the modern day that had only needed a few trips to the pokémon center and a few vaccinations to clear for public appearances. His other pokémon however…

Emmet stiffened when a heavy weight crawled up his leg and settled into his lap, a familiar golden-yellow paw scrabbling to reach for his pen. Gently, Emmet tucked his pen away. “Shoo, Mustard. No ink for you.”

Mustard was a Sneasel, and not just the regular dark and ice variety, no. Mustard was a shiny Sneasel that had been hatched from the last pokémon Ingo had brought with him to Unova: a long extinct regional evolution of Sneasel called ‘Sneaslers’. It just so happened that Ingo’s Sneasler was both exceptionally large and exceptionally strong. Ingo had referred to the massive cat-weasel pokémon as a ‘noble’ but Emmet hadn’t quite understood the connotations behind the moniker.

“Hey! Why not recruit Mustard?” Cameron suggested.

“I am Emmet, and I would like to not end up on the news tomorrow. Ingo’s Sneasler would kill me.”

Cameron nodded almost immediately, schooling his face into a neutral expression. “She would eviscerate you.”

“Skin me.”

“Probably hang you from a cliff to dry.”

            Emmet squinted, crossing his arms. “Cold.”

“What? She would! The claws on her? She’s not even allowed to battle in the subway yet and she’s big enough to scrape her head against the cab ceiling. She could probably eat us if she wanted to. There’s no way she’d hesitate.”

“She wouldn’t hesitate for even a second. You are right.”

“Snea!” Mustard, having been listening in on the conversation, immediately climbed onto the table and grabbed onto Emmet’s hand, a pokéball clutched in its paws.

“Oh, come on, Boss Emmet! Look! Mustard’s totally down to battle, aren’t you, little guy?” Cameron reached out and playfully ruffled the shiny fur along Mustard’s head, the weasel pokémon letting out a tiny purr as it leaned into the man’s touch. “Mustard follows you around all the time even when Boss Ingo is here. It’s obvious he likes you! Let him join the team! I’m sure he’ll thrive.”

            Mustard squeaked in confirmation, playfully rolling the pokéball around on the table as if considering the notion of one day being a battling pokémon. It smiled, its fangs poking out from its mouth as it jumped back into Emmet’s lap and curled up, continuing to purr loudly.

Emmet reached down and let his fingers settle into Mustard’s soft fur. “I will… consider it.”

            Once again, Cameron’s tablet vibrated. The young man reached over to check his tablet and almost immediately, his jaw dropped. Eyes wide, Cameron squinted at the screen, practically shaking with excitement. “Oh, sweet dragons. This is gonna be so fucking rad.”

“Language,” Emmet chided.

“Boss. Boss, gimme your trainer card. I need to send you two pokémon I just got in a mystery trade. Please. Hand me your numbers. Give them to me.”

“At least take him on a date first,” Cloud snarked, having walked into the room. He took a seat in a chair near Ingo’s desk, crossing his legs. “You gonna ask him to come over to your place next, huh Cameron?”

Emmet ignored the jab. “What pokémon did you receive?”

“You’ll find out,” Cameron replied smoothly. “Just give me your trainer card.”

“Cameron’s probably gonna send you a Zubat.”

“I will flood your pc with Ratattas if you keep talking over there, Cloud” Cameron threatened. He then whipped around to stare pathetically at Emmet. “Boss, please.”

“… Okay. Fine.”

            Cameron hurried over to the station’s mobile pc station in the next room and quickly typed in Emmet’s trainer card number, rocking back-and-forth on the balls of his feet as his eyes jittered across the screen. As he worked, Emmet felt his Xtransceiver vibrate a few times on his wrist. Multiple notifications. Multiple pokémon sent to his pc from Cameron.

“Panpour-Pal, modernized,” Cloud muttered under his breath. “Wouldn’t be surprised if whatever pokémon you get ends up bricking your pc. That or it bursts into flames.”

“Can it, Cloud,” Cameron bristled.

“Win in a battle against me,” Cloud snarked back.

“Loudmouth.”

“Angry that I’m right?”

“Not in the slightest!”

            Emmet chuckled lowly, taking Cameron’s place as he inserted his trainer card and checked his pc, immediately noticing the notifications about the traded pokémon Cameron had sent him. He was immediately greeted by a pop-up screen accompanied by a long wall of text. “Dex error? Does not exist?” Emmet frowned, scrolling to check the descriptions of his newly traded pokémon. “Caaameron,” Emmet drawled angrily, irritation creeping into his voice. “The pokémon you sent me do not exist. Somehow.”

“I know! Isn’t it great?” Cameron hurriedly scooched in beside Emmet, pointing at the first one he had sent. “Got these from some trainers in the Paldea region! Did you hear? Apparently, there’s been some rush to document some foreign pokémon that appeared in this big, huge crater there. And the pokémon I just sent you? They’re examples. They’re from that crater!”

            Emmet scrolled over to the first one. “Slither Wing?” He squinted. “Bug and fighting type?” He then pulled up the description, the corners of his mouth turning upward as the image of the pokémon flickered across his screen. 

“Oh, dragons. That’s one fucked-up looking Volcarona.” From behind them, Cloud snickered, taking long drags from his energy drink. “Should’ve left that thing in whatever hole it crawled out of. Reminds me of your Archaeops though, boss.”

“Archie is perfect in every way,” Emmet grumbled back.

“It’s called a Paradox pokémon in Paldea,” Cameron cut back in. “And they’re not illegal to battle with!”

“Are they supposed to be illegal elsewhere? You’re not really selling your case here, Cam,” Cloud pointed out.

            Emmet ignored the two squabbling men, flicking over to the second one. That one he definitely recognized, feeling the muscles of his face begin to ache when he reflexively scowled at the image before him. “Iron Bundle... This is literally just a steel-wrapped Delibird.”

            Cloud whistled. “Yeah, I can’t imagine anybody battling with that thing, let alone letting it into their house. That just looks like a robot with extra steps. I wonder if it could connect to Bluetooth.”

“Give. It. A. Chance.” Cameron was practically begging at that point, clapping after each word. “Just get to know them a little! I hear that they’re cool pokémon and I think you’d do well with them, boss.” 

            At Emmet’s side, Mustard let out a curious chirp and climbed his shoulder, pointing eagerly at the array of pokémon on the pc screen. Mustard rubbed its cheek against Emmet’s face, continuing to point and squeak until Emmet eventually relented.

“Very well. I am Emmet and I will reconsider switching around my team. But. Only for a week or two. A trial period.” Emmet moved his coat back and slid the pokéballs containing his main team toward the left side of his belt- right toward his dominant left hand. He then withdrew the two paradox pokémon along with the suggested pokémon that Cameron had mentioned before. “I have one condition, though.”

“And what’s that?” Cameron asked innocently.

“Under no circumstances can either of you inform Ingo about this.”

            Cloud raised an eyebrow. “You’re gonna try and destroy him, aren’t you?”

“Try?” Emmet echoed, grinning from ear to ear. “No. I will obliterate him. Completely decommission him. That is not a threat; it is a promise! His Hisui team is strong,” Emmet alluded, monologuing more to himself than talking to Cloud or Cameron. “But! I can and will assemble a stronger team!” He then picked up Mustard and set him into the crook of one arm, settling his new partners along the right side of his pokémon belt. “And it all starts with Mustard.”

            Cameron giggled. “Hehehe. Name the Tinkaton ‘Ketchup’.”

Dungeon Dialogue: Lapis Manalis

Pes Albus (X: 11.6, Y: 14.8) - Fighting on the Snowcraft

Spirited Engineer: Careful up there─you're not like to see much through the snow. Estinien: It seems we were right to ride atop the snowcraft. 　↳ Y’shtola: Indeed. Let us hold nothing back. Zero: How bothersome... Alisaie: The wildlife here is certainly bold. Y’shtola: To arms! Albus Griffin: Caw! Spirited Engineer: Hopefully that's the last of those winged bastards... I'm afraid this is as far as the mammoth'll go. You'll have to make it the rest of the way on foot.

Mons Albus #1 (X: 10.6, Y: 13.9) - Vista of the Tower of Babil

Alisaie: You can see the Tower of Babil from here! 　↳ Alphinaud: And it's no less imposing, even from this great distance. Zero: White as far as the eye can see... Estinien: A welcome change of scenery. Y’shtola: I imagine the view from here must be breathtaking.

Mons Albus #2 (X: 10.2, Y: 12.8) - Mons Albus

Albus Bear: Grooogh! Fleeing Rat: <squeak> Fleeing Antelope: <bleat> Visitant Bloodguard #1: Your aether will be mine! Visitant Bloodguard #2: I must feed!

First Boss, Before engaging (X: 11.2, Y: 11.6) - Albion

Varshahn: If this beast would bar our path... 　↳ Zero: A simple enough task. Alphinaud: A veritable giant among the wildlife here to be sure. Y’shtola: Is this beast native to the mountain?

First Boss, After defeating (X: 11.2, Y: 11.6) - Albion

Varshahn: Come. Let us press onward. 　↳ Alisaie: To the cavern! Alphinaud: There is something to be said for the fortitude of nature. Y’shtola: Well, that wasn't too difficult.

Vicus Messorum #1 (X: 10.5, Y: 13.6) - Cavern Entrance

Alphinaud: So this is Lapis Manalis... 　↳ Estinien: This is no time for gawping. Watch your step. Varshahn: How vast is this cavern, I wonder? Alisaie: Is it just me, or is the wind blowing warm air? Y’shtola: What is this presence...? Visitant Vodoriga: Such rich aether!

Vicus Messorum #2 (X: 11.0, Y: 11.1) - The Reaper Village Remnants

Zero: The presence of voidsent permeates this place... 　↳ Y’shtola: I would expect no less from the birthplace of the reaper's art. Estinien: The reaper village. Or what remains of it... Alisaie: Is this the village Jullus told us about? Y’shtola: A most curious place indeed. Galatea Parva #1: <crick-crack> Come for training, are you? Galatea Parva #2: <creeeak> Ready your scythe! Galatea Parva #3: This will <snap> warm you up. Dated Recors: The assaults from outside tribes have markedly increased of late. The Geraldines proved an especially barbarous thorn in our sides, their nigh ceaseless pillaging no doubt an effort to hoard supplies in preparation for the coming winter. No longer able to tolerate the damages suffered by these incursions, the senate issued an order for their king's assassination, and we reapers were asked to ready our blades. With three of her fellows in tow, Galatea set out under cover of night and infiltrated the enemy fortress. Their mission was a great success which soon put the enemy to rout. Faded Records: Emperor Solus is convinced this magitek will spark a revolution in warfare as we know it. And as he devotes further resources to its advancement, our arts continue to fall out of favor. I fear the age of the reaper has come to an end. After all our forebears have sacrificed for the good of the Empire. The blood spilled, the lives lost. They would dare deem us relics of a bygone era. Indeed, they believe the future lies with their “reaper” battle armor. Trainee Warning Notice: Aspirants are reminded not to approach the figures of the Pale Harvest without express permission. They should be treated with no less reverence than Galatea herself, and are hardly less dangerous. Only those who have successfully forged a pact with an avatar may spar with the Galatea Parva. They will serve to refine one's use of invocations and tactical coordination. The Galatea Magna, however, is reserved for those who are able to serve as host to their avatar. This periculous manikin is designed to push a reaper to their limits, if not beyond them. Learn to walk in death's shadow, and you shall know no fear. Dollmaster’s Memorandum: Maintenance of the Galateae must be handled with the utmost of care. The delicate art of their making has long since been lost, making repairs difficult, and reproduction all but impossible. The knowledge was kept secret, passed down to those who would inherit the position of master dollmaker. That is, until one man chose to break with tradition. He claimed to be leaving on a journey in pursuit of an “unparalleled beauty,” but we never learned the truth of it. The only thing that is certain, is the art of our forebears left with him.

Estinien: At the very least, it made for good sport. Alisaie: That certainly was a challenge. Y’shtola: A masterfully crafted doll.

Fons Manalis #1 (X: 9.5, Y: 13.2) - Fons Manalis

Estinien: That was quite a fall. 　↳ Y’shtola: Thankfully we emerged unscathed. Alphinaud: Is everyone all right? Zero: Ugh... Alisaie: Gods, that startled me. Y’shtola: Let us proceed with caution.

Cagnazzo: I wonder how you'll taste. Cagnazzo: You really must try harder! Cagnazzo: Battle does so whet the appetite. Gheh heh heh heh! Spires of water begin amassing aether... Cagnazzo: No more games! Cagnazzo: Be swallowed by the tide! Varshahn: Is everyone all right? Zero: Still in one piece. Y’shtola: It will take more than that to stop us. Alphinaud: Hold fast, everyone! Cagnazzo: What!? That's not right! Cagnazzo: How do you like this? A malevolent energy spills forth from the void... Cagnazzo: Good, good. A fitting finale! Cagnazzo: Grrr, why are you still alive!?

Third Boss, After defeating (X: 12.6, Y: 9.3) - Cagnazzo

Varshahn: I feel your presence, Sister. Where are you? Alphinaud: Why do you suppose they chose here for their lair? Zero: That they could open so large a gate is troubling.

(To Chiaki) Your thoughts on the situation with Unity?

Honestly...Not only is it super unfair, but it concerns me. I'm not even a game designer, but with a lot of games I play being made in the Unity Engine, it really makes me worry about the future of gaming.

From an outside perspective, it's definitely problematic for the likes of indie developers or upstarting game designers...What they fail to realize is just how many titles have been using Unity for years now.

Genshin Impact, Pokemon, Fate, Among Us, Fall Guys, ReCore, Wasteland, Ori, Oddworld, Outer Wilds, Elder Scrolls, Gwent, Cult of the Lamb, Marvel Snap, Ultrakill, Dusk, Cuphead, Beat Saber, Rust, Subnautica, My Friend Pedro, Tunic, Classic DOOM, Hearthstone, Bendy and the Ink Machine, Dream Daddy, Life is Strange, Night in the Woods, Hiveswap, VR Chat, Stanley Parable...Too many to list.

Unity didn't shoot themselves in the foot. They dropped a Nuclear Bomb on their toe.

The Role of Women in Aviation: Celebrating Pioneers and Trailblazers

Women have shaped aviation in extraordinary ways, often overcoming significant barriers to leave their mark on the industry. Having spent years immersed in aviation, I’ve seen firsthand how their contributions—from early pioneers to modern industry leaders—have pushed the field forward. Whether breaking records, serving in combat roles, or leading major airlines, women in aviation have paved the way for future generations. Their achievements aren’t just stories of individual success; they are testaments to resilience, skill, and the ability to defy expectations. Looking back at the pioneers who set the foundation and the trailblazers who continue to lead, it's clear that their impact is undeniable.

Early Pioneers Who Defied Limits

In aviation’s early days, women had to fight for their place in the sky. Harriet Quimby was one of the first to prove that women belonged in the cockpit when she became the first American woman to earn a pilot’s license in 1911. Her groundbreaking flight across the English Channel in 1912 should have made headlines, but she didn’t receive the recognition she deserved.

Bessie Coleman faced even greater challenges as both an African American and Native American woman. When no U.S. flight school would accept her, she traveled to France in 1921 to earn her pilot’s license. Her determination to fly despite the barriers in her way speaks to the sheer grit required of women in aviation at that time. She returned to the U.S. as a stunt pilot, inspiring a new generation and advocating for equal opportunities in flight training.

Record-Breaking Achievements and Inspirational Figures

When I think of groundbreaking female aviators, Amelia Earhart always comes to mind. She wasn’t just the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic—she was a force that propelled aviation into the public consciousness. In 1935, she became the first pilot, male or female, to fly solo from Honolulu to Oakland, proving that long-haul flights were possible.

Jerrie Mock followed in Earhart’s footsteps, completing the first solo flight around the world by a woman in 1964. Then there was Jacqueline Cochran, a pilot whose name should be as widely recognized as any aviation legend. She set more speed and altitude records than any other pilot of her time and, in 1953, became the first woman to break the sound barrier. These women didn’t just set records; they changed the way we think about aviation.

Women in Aviation During Wartime

During wartime, women stepped up in ways that were impossible to ignore. In World War II, female pilots became essential to military operations. The Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP) program in the U.S. trained over 1,000 women to ferry military aircraft and conduct training exercises, freeing up male pilots for combat. Yet, despite their service, they weren’t granted military status until decades later.

On the other side of the world, Soviet women weren’t just ferrying planes; they were flying combat missions. The "Night Witches," an all-female regiment, executed daring nighttime bombing raids against German forces. They flew outdated wooden biplanes, yet their skill and fearlessness made them one of the most respected aviation units of the war. These women demonstrated beyond a doubt that they belonged in aviation, but even after the war, they faced the challenge of reclaiming their place in the industry.

The Shift Toward Professional Careers in Aviation

After World War II, women wanted to continue their aviation careers, but opportunities were scarce. Airlines hesitated to hire female pilots, and those who broke through faced enormous resistance. It wasn’t until 1973 that Bonnie Tiburzi was hired as the first female pilot for a major U.S. airline, American Airlines. That breakthrough was long overdue.

Beyond piloting, women continued to make strides in aviation engineering and aerospace exploration. Sheila Scott set over 100 aviation records, including the first solo flight over the North Pole. In spaceflight, Valentina Tereshkova became the first woman in space in 1963, and Sally Ride followed as the first American woman to do so in 1983. Seeing these milestones unfold confirmed what many of us already knew—women weren’t just part of aviation; they were shaping its future.

Female Leadership in Modern Aviation

One of the biggest shifts I’ve seen in recent years is the rise of women in aviation leadership. The number of female airline CEOs is still small, but it’s growing. Leaders like Annette Mann of Austrian Airlines and Marjan Rintel of KLM are proving that the future of aviation will be shaped by women at the helm.

It’s not just in executive roles where progress is happening. More women are becoming air traffic controllers, engineers, and aircraft maintenance technicians. These roles, once considered out of reach, are now open doors for those willing to push through the remaining barriers. Still, there’s work to be done—female pilots make up only about 5% of commercial airline pilots worldwide. That’s why encouraging more women to join the industry is essential.

Organizations Supporting Women in Aviation

Supporting women in aviation takes more than inspiration—it requires action. Organizations like Women in Aviation International (WAI) and the International Aviation Women’s Association (IAWA) are leading the charge. WAI provides scholarships, mentorship, and networking opportunities, while IAWA connects female leaders across the industry.

Beyond these organizations, airlines and aviation companies are slowly recognizing the importance of diversity initiatives. Events like "Girls in Aviation Day" help introduce young women to aviation careers early on, showing them that the sky isn't just the limit—it’s an open runway.

Overcoming Challenges and the Future of Women in Aviation

Despite the progress we’ve made, there are still hurdles to overcome. Gender bias, underrepresentation in leadership, and the lack of female mentors in aviation remain challenges. Increasing the number of women in pilot training programs and STEM education will play a huge role in changing these statistics.

I’ve seen firsthand how targeted recruitment and mentorship can make a difference. Airlines and aerospace companies that invest in women will gain a broader talent pool, fostering a more innovative and inclusive industry. Encouraging young women to explore aviation careers isn’t just about equity—it’s about ensuring the future of aviation has the best talent possible.

Legendary Women Who Transformed Aviation

Harriet Quimby (1911): First American woman to earn a pilot’s license.

Bessie Coleman (1921): First African American and Native American woman pilot.

Amelia Earhart (1932): First woman to fly solo across the Atlantic.

WASP Pilots (1940s): Female pilots ferrying military aircraft in WWII.

Modern Female Leaders: Women leading airlines and shaping aviation’s future.

Conclusion: Inspiring the Next Generation of Women in Aviation

The contributions of women in aviation are undeniable. From early pioneers like Harriet Quimby and Bessie Coleman to modern leaders running major airlines, women have shaped this industry at every level. While progress has been made, the fight for representation in aviation is far from over. The industry needs more female pilots, engineers, and executives, and that starts with breaking barriers and inspiring the next generation. The sky isn’t just a destination—it’s a space where women belong, leading the way forward.

Challenges and Solutions in Firebird to Oracle Migration – Ask On Data

Migrating databases from one platform to another is a complex, high-stakes task that requires meticulous planning, careful execution, and robust post-migration strategies. One such migration, Firebird to Oracle Migration, is particularly challenging due to the inherent differences between these two database systems. While Firebird is a lightweight open-source database primarily used for small to mid-sized applications, Oracle is a powerful enterprise-level database with advanced features and scalability. In this article, we will explore some of the common challenges in Firebird to Oracle migration and how Ask On Data, a cutting-edge data engineering tool, can help simplify and accelerate the process.

Key Challenges in Firebird to Oracle Migration

Data Structure Differences

Firebird and Oracle differ significantly in how they structure and store data. For example, Firebird uses a simpler relational model, while Oracle offers more advanced data types and features such as partitioning, clustering, and object-relational mapping. The process of mapping Firebird data structures to Oracle’s complex schema can be time-consuming and error-prone.

SQL Syntax and Functionality

Another significant challenge lies in the differences in SQL syntax between Firebird and Oracle. Firebird’s SQL is less feature-rich compared to Oracle’s advanced SQL functions, and there are notable differences in how queries are written, as well as in stored procedures, triggers, and functions. For instance, stored procedures in Firebird might not directly map to Oracle PL/SQL, necessitating the rewrite of scripts and logic.

Data Integrity and Consistency

Ensuring data integrity during migration is a critical concern. Firebird’s transactional management system is different from Oracle’s ACID-compliant architecture, which may lead to inconsistencies during the migration process. This requires a careful and thorough data validation phase to ensure that all data is accurately transferred without loss or corruption.

Performance Optimization

After migration, performance tuning becomes essential. Oracle’s advanced indexing, query optimization, and parallel processing capabilities need to be fully leveraged to ensure that the migrated application performs optimally. Firebird applications, which were designed with a different architecture in mind, often require adjustments to take advantage of Oracle’s capabilities.

Downtime Management

Minimizing downtime during migration is often a major concern for organizations, especially those with mission-critical applications. The migration process may require the temporary shutdown of applications, affecting users and business continuity.

How Ask On Data Helps in Firebird to Oracle Migration

Ask On Data, a powerful data wrangling and engineering tool, is designed to automate and streamline various aspects of the database migration process, making Firebird to Oracle migration smoother and more efficient. Here’s how Ask On Data can help:

Automated Schema Conversion

Ask On Data simplifies the migration of database schemas from Firebird to Oracle by automating the conversion of tables, indexes, views, and constraints. The tool intelligently maps Firebird’s simpler structures to Oracle’s more complex ones, reducing manual effort and minimizing errors during schema translation.

SQL Syntax Translation

Ask On Data includes built-in functionality to automatically convert SQL queries and stored procedures from Firebird’s dialect to Oracle’s PL/SQL. It helps in the seamless migration of logic, eliminating the need for manual rewriting of queries and stored procedures. This significantly reduces the time and complexity associated with syntax conversion.

Data Validation and Integrity Checks

With built-in data validation features, Ask On Data ensures that the data is accurately migrated from Firebird to Oracle. It checks for discrepancies, such as missing or incomplete records, and ensures that all data remains consistent during the migration process. Ask On Data also performs data quality checks to ensure that no information is lost or corrupted.

SPLINTING

I’ve helped women with diastasis for 15 years now, and there’s no doubt: splinting can speed up the healing process! I believe wholeheartedly in wrapping the abdominals with a sectional, therapeutic-grade splint that is specifically designed to help re-approximate the two sides of your abs, holding them closer together.

When the abdominal muscles are stretched so thin, they aren’t able to support your spine, your posture suffers and your back hurts. If your abs aren’t holding your internal organs in their proper spots, your digestion suffers and your tummy hurts. Therapeutic splinting has helped many of my clients improve core connection, facilitate fascial regeneration by keeping pressure off healing areas, narrow diastasis quicker, and even minimize their minor non-surgical hernias.

My research has led me to the following splints that have been engineered by qualified specialists who are literally working in the trenches of closing gaps, so to speak. One single brand might not work for everyone due to body shape and life patterns, so if you believe you need to splint, read ALL this information, contact the companies with any questions, and choose the one that resonates with your needs.
