[layeredshirts]

If the other dorms ran businesses on campus, like the Mostro Lounge, what do you guys think would they be like? I honestly only have ideas for Hearts, Pomefiore, and Ignihyde.

Personally, I think Heartslabyul would run one of those trendy bookstores with a small cafe. Other students mainly use it as a library and rarely buy the books, but Trey's baked goods sell well enough to cover the cost of the books. Students are routinely collared however for trying to read the books while eating, dirtying the pages, and trying to put it back. You cannot ruin one of Riddle's books, despite being inventory he needs to sell, they're precious to him by virtue of being books. As punishment for breaking whatever rule, Riddle would make the first years, adeuce, stand outside the mirror chamber, sign spinning and handing out coupons. Cater uses his expertise on all things cozy to make sure it's aesthetic enough for candid magicam moments. It's great for date nights too, Cater plays his mellow music there and sells CDs.

Pomefiore operates a day spa, and none of them are licensed or qualified to do the treatments they offer. But... they're just so damn good at them. While it makes sense that Vil would approve a spa for it's beauty treatments, he's a huge proponent of relaxation. They offer the typical spa happenings- seaweed wraps, mudbaths, massages etc. but with the added bonus that it might run into a celebrity. Because Vil, world class model and actor, technically is the owner as the dorm leader, it's much more popular than any other spa on sage's island. People line up down the block for a chance to take a picture of Vil, who's always tugging at his uniform, trying to make it more flattering. Why do they have to wear scrubs? It's not like they're nurses or anything 😒. He would run the spa with an iron fist, making sure everyone is on task. Epel is his successor, but he gets in trouble for playing in the supplies and making a mess. He's also not good for cleaning, or being delicate with the customers, and he doesn't have a head for business that doesn't involve apples... But he's really good at small talk and is endlessly optimistic. Rook doesn't go often, the spa is too fragent for his liking. When he is there, his over the top, intimate nature freaks the other students out. How do you expect them to feel comfortable taking a bath while Rook Hunt is reciting poetry about them outside the door? He's always muttering his unique magic name too... "I see you." Okay.

Ignihyde students run an internet cafe, with a heavy emphasis on internet. All of the food comes out of vending machines; the selling point is Ignihyde's servers, connection speeds, and cutting edge technology. Idia seems to always have something before it’s even available to buy. When he receives “normie” gadgets from his parents at STYX, he generously donates it to the cafe. His setup is already complete, no one adds anything to it besides him. Idia is extremely hands off with the equipment and business side of it, leaving it mainly to Ortho to oversee. Idia does suggest, every now and again, that cats might bring in more guests, and cat cafes are trendy and real. No dice, Ortho doesn't want them stepped on by clumsy first years, stomping around in VR headsets. Ortho would agree to other friendship building activities however, like trivia nights and karaoke. They're all perplexed by Ortho's trivia night win streak until Idia remembers that, while he is his little brother, he's still a walking computer connected to the internet at all times. He has to force him to sit out. I think, because he’s an otaku, they would also sell cute merch! :) Ortho’s in charge of ordering the merchandise, so it’s genuinely a surprise for Idia when the cutest Premo stickers come in.

Agent stone x robotnik

Yall like angst?

Tails and stone are paired up to check the laboratory. They walk for a couple of moments. "Just going to come out and say this.. You are adorable." Stone said.

RedSon and MK +SpicyNoodles HCs!

1. RedSon-20-22

RedSon has cute little bull ears hidden by glamours, the short (yet very soft) fur the same blazing red as his hair. Accompanying the ears are horns, being a few inches long, but thick and sturdy. They're a creamy, bone white.

He has an extensive self care routine. Expensive shampoos, conditioner, body scrubs.. All of which are either scentless, or lavender. Helps soothe after a long day.

Due to his routine, his hair and skin are soft to the touch. He's quite proud of how well he takes care of himself. He puts a lot of pride in his outward appearance, and spends a few hours every other day taking care of his hair.

He has a small waist, which is normally hidden by his signature red jacket. (MK swears he can touch his fingers around it.) His despite his thin waist, he's quite muscular. He works out and trains often. He has to be able to assist his father in world domination, after all!

Loves cooking, but rarely decides to. Often is too busy burying himself in work, or is being dragged around by that Noodle Boy and Dragon Horse Girl. When he does cook, he also plates the food amazingly. It was a hobby when he was younger.

Speaking of work, he enjoys making complex gadgets. Phone from scratch? Right on it, and it's better than any on the market. TV? Already done. He also managed to make a VR headset once, but it broke after Mei found it. He was seething for hours..

Back to his bull features, he has a tail. Sort of like a cats in a way, it moves and reacts to his emotions. Swishing lazily when he's relaxed, still and ridged when scared or shocked. Lashing from side to side when he's angry. Limp and tucked between his legs when he cries.

RedSon's bad habits include forgetting meals as he works, scrubbing at his skin too hard in the shower when he's mad.. Sometimes tearing a few thin layers of skin. Rarely, but still happens. He often runs his hand through his fluffy hair when stressed, which on it's own is okay.. It's bad when he grips and pulls, but he never pulls hair out. Not much anyways.

2. MK/Qi Xiaotian-20-21

Unlike RedSon, MK has a frankly.. Shit self care routine. No skincare, yet somehow has clear skin.. Cheap, drugstore shampoo, no conditioner. But yet, it works for him. Yeah, his hair isn't very soft, and has dead ends.. But it cleans him, no? His bathroom has a few odd bottles of some product Mei gave him that he rarely, if ever, uses.

His monkey form is still unstable, and he avoids it like the plague. Yet, he often wakes up with monkey ears and a fluffy tail, covered in soft fur. He hates it, but keeps it to himself. It's a bad habit of his by now.

Is much smarter than he seems, and is quite skilled when it comes to art. Acts dumb to lighten the mood. He often sits at a cafe during his free time, or any local restaurants and draws people he sees walking by, or food from the menu, sometimes the inside of the building, or the sight of the street outside the window.

He used to draw RedSon before they even became allies. He shamefully hides a thick sketchbook of RedSon doodles under his bed. He uses a mix of cartoony styles and more realistic ones. He enjoys adding little cartoony details to more realistic sketches.

MK, while he does enjoy his job, finds his breaks to be too short, but doesn't want to bother nor burden Pigsy to extend them. Once again tying into his bad habit of keeping his feelings to himself.

He hasn't told anyone but his dads, Pigsy and Tang, Sun Wukong and Macaque, about his real name, Qi Xiaotian. He knows he should be able to trust Mei, and feels bad for not telling her, but chooses to keep it to himself regardless.

He's a bleeding heart, always sympathizing with others. He listens to his friend's problem, yet bottles up and ignores all of his. That will totally never come back to bite him. Never. It can't, he's MK, the monkie kid!

Can cook, but gets distracted. Often burns his meals. Though, when it's not burnt to a black chunk of coal, his food is amazing. ..For instant noodles, chicken nuggets and other easy foods, that is.

Monkeys are touchy. MK is a monkey. So, he's quite touchy. One of his love languages is definitely physical touch. Whether it be sitting close to a friend or holding his partner close and snuggling in bed, he enjoys it all.

Relationship!!

[Pre-Dating]

MK likes to draw, that much is obvious. It's just a hobby he enjoys. Hm? Noo, he doesn't still have that sketchbook with only RedSon.. There's another. Whether he knew it or not, he adored drawing RedSon. Secretly snapping a quick photo to use as a reference, drawing and stashing his second sketchbook of RedSon under his bed with the first.

RedSon, whenever he would visit MK, would almost always use the bathroom, as one does. Seeing MK's... Atrocious lack of any good shampoos or soaps made him cringe and grimace. So, whenever he visited, he replaced MK's products, one by one. Switching out cheap for fancy and expensive.

Neither realized they had begun to court one another, MK through buying RedSon food and little gifts often, and RedSon through switching out MK's things for newer, better stuff. His shampoo, his ragged old pillow.. He even went through the trouble of getting MK a whole new fridge. He used to just have a mini fridge, but now his kitchen has a full fridge. Don't ask how RedSon got it in. Or about the scuffs on MK's windowsill.

[Beginnings]

MK had been the one to shoot the awkward text, asking RedSon out on a date. 'heyyy, red!'

'just wanted to know if you wanted to go out for lunch' 'totally not a date haha' 'unless a date is okay'

He was worried for the reply, curled up in the blankets as he drew, waiting. '...' 'Sure, noodlebrain. I'm paying though. You're dirt poor.' was the reply that he got.

The date was awkward and silent at first, until MK sneakily stole one of RedSon's fries, and RedSon stole a sip of MK's drink in return. More food snatching, then a walk around Megapolis.

A few dates later, and as it gets less and less awkward, both of their courtings gets more and more bold. Fancy jewlery from RedSon, a short, stolen kiss on the cheek before a retreat into his apartment from MK.. It was truly adorable.

This week’s awkward staff meeting chit-chat was about our favourite tech gadget we’d used recently, and everyone’s waxing on about their AR spectacles and their VR headsets and their 3D printers (which, how do they afford this shit? There’ve been layoffs every quarter for the last year plus, and y’all are just blowing money on luxury novelties? Y’all have kids).

And I’m just sitting here on mute, because honestly, the only gadget I’ve used recently that sparked delight for me was my sink plunger, but we’re all supposed to be enthusiastic tech evangelists here, apparently.

But like, seriously. Sink plunger benefits:

✅ perennially useful.

✅ highly effective.

✅ reusable.

✅ inexpensive.

And like… I’ve also been enjoying my bigass 21”window fan, but again - not sure that would be considered a valid response, given that its only functions are “wimdy”, “wimdier”, and “domesticated tornado”. And you toggle between these modes using an analog dial on the top of the fan.

I fucking hate these goddamn meetings.

Difference Between Augmented Realtiy And Virutal Reality Comparing Two Revolutionary Technologies

Difference Between  Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) are awesome immersive technologies that have captured the creativity of both the generation industry and clients. Though they proportion similarities in their capacity to modify how we perceive and interact with the sector, AR and VR are basically exceptional in their technique and use cases. This essay explores the center variations between AR and VR, focusing on their definitions, technological mechanisms, hardware necessities, person interplay, use cases, and destiny ability.

Definitions and Core Concepts

AR complements the person's notion of reality by way of including digital elements that interact with the physical environment. The key concept in the back of AR isn't always to replace the physical international but to enhance it, imparting a blend of virtual and actual-world experiences. Examples of AR can be visible in phone applications like Pokémon Go, wherein users can see digital creatures within the actual international through their smartphone cameras, or Snapchat filters, wherein virtual outcomes are applied to human faces.

Virtual Reality (VR), on the other hand, creates entirely immersive digital surroundings that replace the actual international. When the use of VR, customers are transported into a totally laptop-generated international that may simulate real-world environments or create entirely fantastical landscapes. This virtual environment is commonly experienced through VR headsets, which include the Oculus Rift or PlayStation VR, which block out external visual input and offer 360-diploma visuals of the virtual space. The number one purpose of VR is to immerse users so absolutely in a virtual environment that the distinction between the digital and actual worlds temporarily dissolves.

Technological Mechanisms

AR and VR rent distinct technological mechanisms to acquire their respective experiences. In Augmented Reality, the primary mission is to combine the actual international with digital elements in a manner that feels seamless and natural. This requires tracking the user’s function and orientation in the actual global, which is generally executed through the use of cameras, sensors, and accelerometers in smartphones or AR glasses. The AR software procedures the visual entry from the digital camera and superimposes virtual objects into the proper function in the actual international scene. The gadget also needs to make sure that these objects interact with real-world factors in plausible ways, such as having a virtual ball soar off an actual table or aligning a digital map on the floor. Real-time processing is important to keep the illusion that digital factors are a part of the actual world.

In contrast, Virtual Reality includes developing a totally immersive virtual global that absolutely replaces the user's actual-international surroundings. The VR device desires to render a three-D environment in real-time, imparting unique views because the person's actions their head or body. This is generally performed with the use of state-of-the-art image engines and powerful processors, which simulate lighting fixtures, textures, and physics to make the digital world as realistic as feasible. A VR headset affords stereoscopic shows (one for every eye) to provide the phantasm of depth, and movement-tracking sensors ensure that the user’s actions—including looking around or walking—are meditated appropriately within the virtual international.

What Tech Gadgets Earn Top Offers at a Chicago Pawn Shop?

Wondering if last year’s drone or VR headset is worth more than the box it’s gathering dust in? In Chicago’s bustling pawn scene, certain gadgets still command impressive bids—if you know what buyers want and how to prep your gear. Here’s the lowdown:

1. Drones That Deliver More Than Aerial Shots Top of the list are lightweight quadcopters like the DJI Mini 3 Pro and Air 3. Pilots love modular batteries and up-to-date firmware (no “crash flags”), so a clean Mini 3 Pro bundle with two cells can net you around 60–70 percent of retail value in under ten minutes. Higher-end models—Autel Evo Lite+ or Sony Airpeak S1—can fetch even more thanks to their unique sensors and pro-grade payloads.

2. VR Headsets Still Pulling Premiums The Meta Quest 3 (512 GB) remains scarce enough that local cash offers hover near 72 percent of new-price—even with an Elite Strap and original box. Apple Vision Pro launch editions, though rare, routinely clear over $2 000, while PS VR 2 combos with game vouchers often land in the 65 percent range. Limited shelf stock and accessory bundles drive these strong bids.

3. Smartwatches: Timing Is Everything Wearables live and die by battery cycles and condition. The Apple Watch Ultra 2, as long as its health stays above 90 percent, can earn you over 70 percent of MSRP. Garmin Fenix 7X Sapphire users praise its scratch-resistant titanium; a well-kept unit sells at only a minor markdown. Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic’s stainless-steel case and LTE option add a small “bump” over the aluminum models.

4. How Clark Pawners Keeps It Quick & Clear

Bring the box. Prop guards, chargers, and manuals can boost offers by 8–10 percent.

Five-minute intake. Barcode photo, firmware check, battery-health readout, live market data—and your printed quote.

Data-wipe prep. A factory reset often unlocks a “ready to sell” bonus, shaving precious minutes off your visit.

5. Pawn Loan vs. Direct Sale: Pick Your Path

Pawn loan. Get 70–75 percent of value today, keep a 75-day ticket to reclaim your gadget. Perfect if you expect resale values to climb.

Direct sale. Earn 85–90 percent of market value instantly. Ideal when you need the full payout—no strings attached.

Whether you’re clearing space in your apartment or funding your next tech upgrade, Chicago pawn shops offer a surprisingly fast way to turn electronics into weekend spending money. For real ticket examples, detailed prep tips, and a behind-the-scenes look at the entire appraisal process, check out the full guide here: https://clarkpawners.com/drones-vr-headsets-and-smartwatches-2025-tech-gadgets-that-earn-top-offers/
