"What now?" Emmy tilted her head.

"Yeah, something weird's happening in the square. It seems anyone that enters the vicinity seems to...fall asleep. Sort of." Theo stated, playing with the keychain on his phone. "The color just looks drained from their faces and they don't move around at all. Kinda creepy honestly."

"Alright...be careful then, Four, if Marie finds out I let something happen to her favorite errand boy she's gonna let me have it."

"Hehehehe. You have little faith in me, Agent E." He hummed. "The country side makes you immune to weird events. My folks believe in aliens and all that."

Emmy shook her head. "I don't think aliens are involved in this mess, Theo."

"Yeah, I know- hold up." Theo's playful tone switched to a more serious one. "I think I see someone in the Square. Weird looking too."

"Eh? What do they look like?"

"Not any seafolk I've ever seen. Inkling in shape, but...Black fins. No mask. Freakishly tall. Looks to be holding a device of some kind."

The person pushed a few buttons on the device, and it began to whirr to life, before sputtering and powering down moments later.

"Ugh! It's still unstable!" They shouted. Theo snuck closer to hear them.

"Trying to get this thing to replicate the dimensional technology from TD-Wish is damn near impossible...but nothing a genius like me can't handle..." She spoke to herself, the woman typing into the device's keypad. "I'll recalibrate the coordinates and then rearrange the particle dissipator's code..."

"Seems to be a lady. Talking about dimensional devices or something?"

"Dimensional...devices? Wait. I've gotten files on her before, from Jesse." Emmy started typing on her laptop, pulling up the folder from Alterna. "...Huh. Interesting."

"What's up?" Theo whispered.

"Looks like we found our freaky chick. That's the one that almost killed Professor Greg's colleague and tried to take over Alterna as a base of operations."

"No squidding? Guess we should take her on then!"

"Theo, no, wait!"

Theo jumped down from the top of Deca Tower, doing a couple flips and landing in front of her. "Heya, pretty lady. Doing any stabbing today?"

Tara looked down at the small inkling, letting out a 'tut'. "Foolish of you to walk in here."

She took out what looked to be like a gun, except it was monochrome and had blinking blue lights. "Say hi to that other squid girl for me."

"Theo!!"

With a blast of blue light, Theo's mind seemed to cease, and he began to slowly lie down on the pavement, falling asleep.

"I...Emmy, send...help..." Theo spoke before fully losing consciousness.

"Theo?! Four?! Hey!!" She yelled. The transmission cut out and she tapped her fingers on the desk, thinking about her next actions.

"Octa."

"Y-Yeah?"

"Need you to head over to the square for me and find out what happened to Theo while I make a call to Jesse."

"O-Oh! On it!" The octoling saluted, marching off to grab her gear.

"Theo...what just happened? And...what does this all mean? Cod, I think we're about to ram head first into some squit..."

“Oh no, Pandora, cos’hai fatto!? Dovevi proprio aprirlo quel vaso? Ora tutti i trickster sono scappati e imperversano nel mondo. Agenti del caos, guastafeste di natura, questi sette rompiscatole si divertono a sconquassare il tessuto della realtà con particolare predilezione per le opere d’arte e i monumenti storici. La Sfinge va in frantumi, un Bruegel in brandelli, e il mondo gira e vortica in un caleidoscopio di forme e colori. Chi rimetterà a posto tutto? Prometeo è incatenato, Epimeteo è rimbambito e gli uomini non riescono a trovarsi il culo con due mani.”

“Tutto ha inizio con Pandora che riversa (inavvertitamente?) sul mondo il contenuto del vaso, vale a dire i mali e sciagure di vario genere. A me però questa versione non è mai piaciuta granché, ad essere sincero. Mi piace di più pensare a Pandora che dà una sbirciatina nello scrigno e dice “ma sai che forse non tutti i mali vengono per nuocere?” e lo apre. E dentro non ci sono mica i mali del mondo, ma una loro esemplificazione in forma di storie e rompicapo. Dietro i Find and Fill, Focus Point, Image Hole, Overlap, Interlock, Jesse’s Strips, Lens Bender, Outer Layer, Rotascope, Slices, scopriamo cose che non avremmo mai compreso, intrecci e aspetti del mondo che non avremmo mai colto senza l’aiuto del vaso.”

“Conosciamo Maui e la sua mitologica battuta di pesca, Puck e gli scherzi d’amore, Anansi che cade vittima dei suoi stessi tranelli, ecc. In un certo senso, Pandora fa all’umanità un regalo prezioso quanto quello di suo cognato Prometeo: i semi di tutte le storie, le analogie e le metafore, gli strumenti per tentare di capire il grande enigma del mondo e comunicarlo (almeno un po’). Il vaso, la scatola o lo scrigno che dir si voglia è più di un mero contenitore di disastri. È un dispositivo segnico, un aleph, la periferica di un proto-metaverso incapsulata in un’interfaccia di legno intarsiato che rimanda alle anticaglie automatizzate di un’epoca preindustriale.”

S T R E N G T H . she's able to lift around 7 imperial tons.

S P E E D . nothing too special, but she can move faster than a peak athlete if she really books it.

S T A M I N A . able to fight at her fiercest for hours on end, her musculature doesn't fatigue as fast as a normal human's ( though she can still get occasional cramps ! )

F L E X I B I L I T Y . same goes here with the muscles, means she's extra limber, double so that of your average joe; her muscles are also twice as strong.

D U R A B I L I T Y . not invulnerable, but the gal has been hit by the Hulk and lived to tell the tale yk. not only that, but she has fallen from a few stories too high before and just walked away scraped and bruised.

A G I L I T Y &&. R E F L E X E S. she's just built different.

H E A R I N G . not only can she hear from great distances and even through steel walls themselves at times, but she's also able to hear virtually any frequency as well.

W A L L - C R A W L I N G .

She's able to do this through electrostatic attraction, capable of adhering to most surfaces, as well as carry a considerable amount of weight all the while.

R E G E N E R A T I V E H E A L I N G F A C T O R .

Due to her time in the stasis tank, Jessica developed a healing factor. Weakened over time due to various times she's lost and regained her powers, it still works well enough to get her by, but she's also able to be left with marks after fights, bones are capable of being broken.

This has also granted her E X T E N D E D L O N G E V I T Y, greatly slowing her aging while increasing her lifespan.

V E N O M B L A S T S .

Her body possess something known as bio-electricity, and she's able to fire this out from any limb ( it even sometimes makes her eyes glow and spark when she's hella pissed ). She's capable of controlling the intensity of her bursts, ranging anywhere from a tiny little tingling zap to a shock powerful enough to kill a man ⸺ as though he'd just been struck by lightning.

More on them in a post HERE !

P H E R O M O N E S .

Depending on one's sexuality, Jess is able to secrete a powerful pheromone that either elicits intense feelings of attraction, or repulsion so strong you start to hate her. Whoever she uses it on would have to potentially be attracted to her ( just anyone who is attracted to women ) for it to work the first way.

C O N T A M I N A N T I M M U N I T Y .

Her body's capable of rapidly metabolising all forms of toxins, poisons, and / or drugs ⸺ after an initial exposure, anyway. Due to not only this, but the dangerous levels of radiation present at Mt. Wundagore where she grew up, and then set to cook in stasis for decades ⸺ she's immune to radiation.

S K I L L S .

P R I V A T E I N V E S T I G A T O R . from having her own firm in California, to Madripoor and eventually New York, Jess has been an incredibly talented P.I. for many years.

S P Y . extensively trained in espionage, covert operations and stealth.

A C R O B A T . olympic-level gymnast abilities.

Carmen Herrera

Carmen Herrera è stata un’artista statunitense di origine cubana.

Una carriera durata settant’anni, caratterizzata da un impegno incrollabile e una determinazione straordinaria nel perseguire la sua visione.

Il suo stile geometrico, l’uso audace dei colori e l’abilità nel creare opere che sfidano la percezione visiva l’hanno resa una pioniera dell’arte astratta.

Mentre oggi è considerata tra le figure centrali dell’Astrattismo e del Minimalismo, per quasi tutta la sua vita è stata tenuta ai margini del sistema ufficiale dell’arte.

Ha visto riconoscere ufficialmente il suo lavoro solo a 89 anni, quando nel 2004, le venne dedicata una mostra alla Tribeca Latin Collector Gallery.

Oggi le sue opere si trovano nelle collezioni delle principali istituzioni di tutto il mondo, come la National Gallery of Art di Washington, la Tate Modern di Londra, il MoMa di New York e il Pérez Art Museum di Miami.

Nata a L’Avana il 31 maggio 1915, in una famiglia di intellettuali, suo padre, morto quando lei aveva due anni, era stato direttore esecutivo del primo giornale cubano post-indipendenza, El Mundo e sua madre, Carmela Nieto de Herrera era giornalista, scrittrice e filantropa femminista.

Ha iniziato a prendere lezioni private di pittura da bambina, ha frequentato la scuola superiore a Parigi e studiato architettura all’Universidad de la Habana.

Nel 1939 ha sposato l’attore e insegnante di inglese Jesse Loewenthal, con cui si è trasferita a New York, dove ha studiato all’Art Students League.

Nel 1948 la coppia si è trasferita a Parigi, dove è entrata nei circoli intellettuali del tempo.

Nonostante vendesse i suoi quadri sin da quando era ventenne, ha continuato a studiare e formarsi con artisti internazionali perfezionando sempre di più la sua vocazione all’astrattismo.

Il suo lavoro è caratterizzato da una geometria rigorosa, forme nette e l’uso di colori audaci, spesso limitati a bianco, nero e uno o due colori primari. Elementi che sono diventati la firma distintiva delle sue opere.

Tornata a New York nel 1953, sebbene fosse vicina ai più famosi astrattisti del dopoguerra, non veniva presa in considerazione perché era una donna e, in più, cubana.

Per questo motivo ha continuato, per decenni, a subire il rifiuto del mondo dell’arte.

Nonostante gli smacchi, ha continuato, inarrestabile, a dipingere, fino alla sua scoperta in tarda età, nei primi anni 2000.

Nel 1998, all’età di 83 anni, ha tenuto la sua prima personale al Museo di Arte Moderna di Lousiana, in Danimarca, mentre a New York, la città dove aveva vissuto per più di 50 anni continuando a essere considerata una cubana, la prima grande mostra è stata inaugurata solo nel 2004.

Le è stata poi dedicata una retrospettiva nel 2009 presso la IKON Gallery, a Birmingham, in Inghilterra e nel 2016 ha esposto al Whitney Museum of Art e alla Lisson Gallery.

La consacrazione definitiva è avvenuta nel 2019 con una mostra al MoMA di New York, seguita nel 2020 da una mostra al Museum of Fine Arts di Houston.

Il regista Alison Klayman, le ha dedicato il documentario The 100 Years Show, presentato in anteprima all’Hot Docs Film Festival di Toronto nel 2015.

Nel 2019 è stata nominata Honorary Royal Academician alla Royal Academy of Arts di Londra.

Carmen Herrera è morta il 12 febbraio 2022, a 106 anni, nella sua casa studio di New York, dove aveva vissuto e lavorato dal 1967, in gran parte col marito, deceduto nel 2000, prima di vederla finalmente trionfare nel mondo dell’arte.

ELMER MCCURDY

In honor of September, or of outlawry, perhaps... or maybe just of nostalgia, I’m getting this online, where I hear that it, like everything else, will stay ineradicably until doomsday or until the Yellowstone volcano goes off, whichever comes first.

This poem was written in 1977 by my late husband, Thomas R. Thornburg. It’s included in his Collected Poems, available on Amazon. It presents the history of the 20th century in a nutshell – a largish nutshell but a nice, knobbly, crunchy one.

Elmer McCurdy (1869-1911)  (1911-

     1976)

(HISTORICAL NOTE:  At the bicentennial celebrating the birth of these United States, a curious discovery was made. The mummified remains of Elmer McCurdy, who was known in his first life as The Oklahoma Badman, were discovered hanging in a Los Angeles carnival called “Laugh in the Dark Funhouse.”  Elmer, who was discovered by a crewman for the Six Million Dollar Man television show, had in his first life been a train robber operating out of Pawhuska, Oklahoma. In 1911 he was slain in a desperate gun battle, thus ending his first life. The sheriff who killed Elmer sold him to a carnival sideshow. So began Elmer’s second life, a life in which he was mistaken for a wax dummy and exhibited all over the United States. In 1940, Elmer was stored in a warehouse with a collection of wax dummies [real dummies, if we assume that Elmer was never a dummy] and in 1968 Elmer was sold again, then again, then again, and he hung around until the TV crewman, fiddling with him, caused his arm to fall off and reported that one of the figures was no dummy. After he was formally identified, Elmer McCurdy was trundled back to Pawhuska, Oklahoma, and buried under a large granite boulder. Thus his career, begun in 1869, ended in 1976.)

In Pawhuska, Oklahoma, where the rolling purple plains

Have turned to dust beneath the wheel of Time,

At the turn of this last century, having come around to crime,

Elmer McCurdy turned to robbing trains.

There the ghost of John Brown’s body walks the bloody Kansas flat,

And the shades of Frank and Jesse James ride by in mask and hat;

What the freezing winds of winter or the deadly summer suns

Will not tender, men may render with a gun.

O, there’s just as many live outside as live inside the law

And old Elmer was as far-out then as any ever saw;

When he strapped a reputation on and rode to Dead Man’s Pass,

He said the world could kiss his outlaw ass.

He was so mad, so truly bad, so dangerous to know,

He was Manfred in a cowboy suit; he was Grendel on the go;

He’d a six-gun for his Cicero and dynamite for brains,

And he hated anything as straight as trains.

            Hurdy-gurdy

            Down and dirty

            Elmer McCurdy

            Whoopee ti

Now when Elmer commenced blowing up the bends of all the track,

Stationmasters of disaster started crying for some slack,

And bankers started bitching as they sang the business blues

And they asked their sassy sheriff what to do,

            What to do?

            What to do, do, do?

            O, they asked their sassy sheriff what to do?

Now, this sheriff was as bad an inlaw as you ever saw;

He was Donder on a drunk man, he was Blitzen on the draw;

He was Una in a union suit, a buckskin Charlemagne,

And he hated folks for robbing, hopping, or for pulling train.

So he printed up a circular and sent it all around,

And it said that they intended to put Elmer in the ground,

And it said if anybody else would like to join the fun,

There was money for a posse to keep Elmer on the run.

It was nineteen and eleven in the merry month of May

When Elmer saddled up and rode to rob one sunny day,

And he rode from dawn to daylight and he yodeled as he rode

For the silver in the saddlebags of swag that he bestrode;

And he whistled quite merrily as he rode out of the draw

But dumb behind him rode the dogging Law.

Elmer went about his work through June and through July,

And he robbed quite conscientiously as summer cantered by;

Through the grim dog days of August and in warm September rains

Old Elmer never missed a day of work at robbing trains.

In the dappled chase of Autumn when the wild October wind

Raced the chuffing locomotive down the chute to Dead Man’s Bend,

Elmer rode like sixty-seven, like the Devil on the loose

Going crazy in the saddle when the iron from his cayuse

Was arcing fire from rail to rail coming up on that caboose;

He’d a hotbox on his starboard hip and a cog caught in his brain,

While underneath his Stetson ran a single-track refrain,

And he would have died unsatisfied if he could not rob trains.

All the passengers was puzzled until Elmer made it clear

To stick ‘em up as he threw down against the engineer;

And when he ran things down for them the crew began to shake,

But the whistle blew, and the brakeman knew, and he threw down the brake.

Then the people started grinning when he reined up on the track

And he nabbed a couple railroad cops and robbed ‘em back to back;

He was laughing like a goblin as the people passed the word

That it was hurdy-gurdy

            Down and dirty

            Elmer McCurdy

            Whoopee ti

But it was his final caper there that Elmer ever turned

For he had infuriated far too many he had burned;

You may read it in the papers there, the Oklahoma press

Says he tried to draw against John Law and came out second best.

O, the Pawhuskans applauded when they brought old Elmer in

And their preachers copped an opportunity to steal on sin;

And the teachers taught the sons and daughters truths about the gun,

But the truth of truths

                        they could not use      

                                    and still abuse

                                                            is                                                         

Elmer did it all for fun.

            Hurdy-gurdy

            Down and dirty

            Elmer McCurdy

            Whoopee ti

It’s down in books in libraries if any think I lie:

How they claimed they could cool Elmer’s act and hang him high and dry;

But Elmer fooled the hangman and the folks when he went West

With a 32:20 dum-dum slug behind his Sunday vest.

Well, the undertaker undertook to empty Elmer out

And had boxed him up quite proper when the folks began to shout

(Underneath the rouge and lipstick you could see old Elmer grin)

That there was no ground for miles around that he could put him in.

 Well, that puts the undertaker into something of a stew,

So he goes and asks the Sheriff what the hell he’s gonna do?

And the Sheriff said, “I delivered him dead; now you’ll have to decide.”

Well, the undertaker wrung his hands, and stomped his feet, and cried,

And I think he went and took a drink, and walked around outside

A little while (about a mile) and shook his head and sighed;

Then he went back home and got a comb and parted Elmer on the side,

And he put his robber outfit on him like he used to ride,

And then, dig:  he took his biggest rig and ran him up on formaldehyde,

And this coroner hung him up inside his corner closet where he dried,

And he said, “God!  He’s purty!”

            Hurdy-gurdy

            Down and dirty

            Elmer McCurdy

            Whoopee ti

So, though they could not make, they could not take, nor put him into jail,

They socked his hard-case carcass on the old South-Western Mail,

And if you laid a sawbuck down you drew nine dollars change

To see old train-robbing Elmer robbing people from the train.

And they hung a sign around his neck that said to come and see

The Oklahoma Bad-man (women and children admitted free).

So from Tulsa down to Ponca City Elmer made the scene,

From Shawnee down to Bartlesville and all spots in between,

From Wichita to Enid Elmer made a million miles

Exchanging trains through sun and rain, and all the changing styles.

The years ran by like rabbits; people did what people do;

The Yanks went over and came back, and twenty- three skidoo;

America went on the wagon, people stayed at home,

And Henry Sinclair pulled a caper called the Teapot Dome;

We kidnapped Tutankhamen and put him in the bank

And Richard Loeb and Leopold kidnapped Bobby Franks;

We dedicated Lincoln and earned the world’s applause

And then we put Marcus Garvey in the can for breaking nigger laws;

An Oklahoma Walton tried to stand up like a man

And in due process was impeached by the local Ku Klux Klan;

Half the nation spun around when the wild tornadoes blew

And the other half hummed right along to Rhapsody in Blue;

Folks pitched in to bathtub gin or radiator raw;

Jack Scopes got busted for trying to make a monkey out of the law;

The eight-hour workday was declared to be When Day Is Done,

And Our Lord Ford sent down the word to give everybody one;

Gene Tunney took a funny count that made the people swear

And Sacco and Vanzetti took a hot-squat in the chair;

Alphonse Capone took a fall one Philadelphia morn,

Steamboat Willie made the scene and Mickey Mouse was born;

And folks said, “Hi!” to passersby, or “How ya doin, fine?”

And Al Capone sent Bugs Moran a funny valentine;

Mrs. Harding showed the world the inconstancy of class,

And funny Albert theorized the inconstancy of mass;

The Scottsboro Boys got bum-rapped for that Alabama thing,

And Herbert Hoover signed into law a song no one can sing;

FDR cut his new deal to keep us free from fear

And when he asked us what we wanted, we said, “We Want Beer!”

One hundred thousand homeless kids roamed the Big Apple’s digs,

And Walter Disney pork-barreled an empire from Three Little Pigs;

The bottom broke out of the joke; the nation was a sink;

We prohibited Prohibition and everybody took a drink;

The Catholic League of Decency decided what was meet,

And Irish Catholic coppers killed strikers in the street;

John Dillinger took in a movie one Chicago day,

He took his ticket C.O.D. and came back D.O.A.

Joe Louis flattened Maxie Baer to let the whole world know,

And John L. flattened Bill Hutcheson and started the C.I.O.

Then Roosevelt ran past Alf Landon; Jesse Owens ran like scat,

And fourteen thousand Goodyear Rubber Workers sat down flat.

Three thousand Americans organized to fight the King of Spain

While General Motors tried to flush their families down the drain.

Three thousand Americans dead in Spain to support the commonweal,

While in Chicago their brothers died fighting U.S. Steel;

The Garment Workers dropped a stitch; labor buttons were worn;

We gave Czechoslovakia to Hitler—and Wrong-Way Corrigan was born;

Then Hitler gave Lindbergh a medal and Lucky Lindy made the news

Again by blaming the Second World War on Roosevelt and the Jews;

And the lid blew off like Krakatoa; America went to war,

And then came home and went to work in the Army Surplus Store;

The century passed the halfway mark, the nation changed its clothes,

We busted half of Hollywood and then busted Tokyo Rose;

The filthy bearded communists with their filthy bearded bombs

Crept in and hid beneath the bed in loyal American homes;

Kids signed their letters S.W.A.K. and sealed ‘em with a kiss,

And Good Sir Richard saved the day and busted Alger Hiss;

Hello, Young Lovers, whoever you are, I’ve been in love like you;

It was craaaazy, man, the times were rare, like— twenty-three skidoo.

Twenty-three skidoo?

Great googlie-wooglies!  I almost forgot

Old Elmer McCurdy hanging in here somewhere, left to rot;

They gave old Elmer a flattop and they combed his hair in ducks,

And by some means they pegged his jeans and dressed him in white bucks;

Then the fella who owned Elmer had to hock him for a while,

So they hung him in a fun-house up above the main turnstile.

But your customer there didn’t seem to care, nor noticed nothing funny

About the scene—you know what I mean—at least he paid his money

To see the show—and rightly so, if Elmer was a dummy.

Give a Hippy marijuana and you know how he’ll act:

He’ll rape your wife and your whole damn family: IT’S A PROVEN FACT!

The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test! Mr. Natural! Window Pane!

We took a toke on a little dope, and then did it all again:

Hell, No, I Won’t Go; I’m leaving on a jet plane;

Here’s the word from Thunderbird (you know it makes you sick)

Acid made our face break out, and so did Tricky Dick.

We decimated Viet Nam; Calley took a rap;

We gave the Orient our grain, and they gave us the clap.

We learned to hate the word Watergate; we learned about the fix,

But the rednecks all went Hippy; the Hippies all went arty,

And we invited all of us to our own birthday party,

And it was Nineteen-Seventy-Six.

They say the Six Million Dollar Man can jump a country mile,

They say he has an eye can see behind your whitest smile,

They say he has the baddest moves the outlaws ever saw,

They say, in the modern world of today, he is The Law.

Well, the whole thing blended when they intended to make a TV show

About the Six Million Dollar Man for less than half that dough

(The little children in Appalachia laughed and clapped their hands

While their little rickety knees stuck out like rubber bands):

They cast it in a fun-house, where the lights and cameras run,

And they sent a dude to rearrange the dummies, just for fun;

So when he climbed through layers of Time the dust there made him cough,

And when he leaned too hard on Elmer, Elmer’s arm fell off!

Yep, it was old hurdy-gurdy

            Down and dirty

            Elmer McCurdy

            Whoopee ti

Well, they called the Sheriff right away and he rode through the town

And handcuffed half the carnival and third-degreed the clown,

And made the folks stand outside the ropes while they cut Elmer down.

And then they told the story through—a little less than I’ve told you,

I guess because I’m wordy.

And there’s your story, ain’t it funny about a fun-house mummy

Who lived to hang and hanged to live; now tell me, who’s the dummy?

But there it is. . . the whole damned shot, and now the song is sung,

But the thing that hangs around for me is: was he hanged? Or was he hung?

Was he right, riding into night?  Or was he wrong, dead wrong?

Or can we finish Elmer off, even in a song?

Is there some reason (is it treason?) that keeps a man from harm

It took two centuries of Law and Order to disarm?

Well, one day when your children steal enough horsepower from the sun

And their children laugh like maniacs and light out on the run,                                                                       

I trust they’ll sup a stirrup-cup and live life hurdy-gurdy

When I am down, and dirty, like

                                         Elmer McCurdy

                                                             Whoopee ti

so... I know that many of you love the Kix is CF99 unofficial medic.

So let me introduce to you something @kalm5 and I were brainstorming - merging two AU ideas of ours into one “bigger idea”.

We kind of have this set-up with Order 66 didn't happen/was delayed indefinitely (+no-one dies + Ahsoka leaves the Jedi Order for a person she loves).

After the mission on Skako Minor, Anakin REALLY wants to have Clone Force 99 to be a part of 501st so he tries to get a hold of their general/commanding officer to BEG for a transfer.

He is so impressed, in fact, the Chosen One just geeks about them every chance he gets - even during dinners with Padme.

After an investigation (and bribing Cody to spill the beans on who is in charge of the Batch) Anakin absorbs Clone Force 99 to 501st.

After the merge CF99 still operates per usual – they have a free range to have any insane mission they’d normally do, but they serve under Anakin Skywalker. Sometimes The Batch don’t even feel the difference with exception of submitting reports to the Chosen One or doing specific missions that might or might not involve being body-guards of senator Amidala.

With that setting we add Kix to The Bad Batch ranks as their team medic. He was half-chosen by Anakin/half-accidentally becoming The Batch’s medic as those guys need just as unhinged medic as they are as a team. Thus he gets new set of armor that it's the mixture of CF99 color scheme/armor design and 501st blue (he keeps the OG helmet, tho, as it’s the most comfortable for him and also it has a medical software that CF99 helmet lacks). Instead of making a „standard” red stripes for his armor, like the rest of this *new* team, Kix decided to re-do his 501st paint-job but add CF99-red-hue splash on top to mimic blood splatter. It's for both: not making his team freak out they're bleeding to death and also so he can mask his own injuries so they'd not make him prioritize his own injuries over theirs.

Kix freaks out Jesse every time they're back to 501st to resupply or submit paperwork, but also the medic, secretly enjoys ARC trooper’s insisting to check if he is truly alright.

To honor the transfer CF99 got a blue accent in their armour as well.

Do you how I can cum harder? :3

Do it inside me?

But seriously (Jess puts on scientician hat), there are two ways I’ve seen to increase the power and intensity of the ole goo blasting.

Edging. It may be cliche, but telling your balls that a big O is on its way so they ramp up production, and then canceling the whole operation will create a buildup that when you do release it, will be prodigious in volume as well as more emotionally intense.

Work out that prostate! In addition to being your butt’s g-spot, the prostate also regulates how hard and even how long you can cum. You can actually make the muscles stronger by basically doing the “stop your piss stream” clench even when not peeing and over time you’ll learn how to squeeze really hard at the moment of truth and you will cum like a damn cannon.

Hopefully these tips help, and I cannot stress enough how much I should be getting cummed in right now.

Jesse: Operation Waffle, which stands for "We're All Friends, Friends Love Eachother".

(later)

Jesse: Just realised that "Each Other" is two words.

Jesse: So, Waffle-O.
