mint

pairing: mike schmidt x blackfem!reader summary: you’re abby’s mint chocolate-loving babysitter. mike takes notice. wc: 1.3k tags: suggestiveness, swearing, fluff. *minor movie spoiler that isn’t a spoiler fr but kind of is* a/n: oi. this is my first official piece of fanfic on tumblr and i'm excited but also super nervous. i never knew what characters i wanted to write for as most of my fandoms are obsolete tbh (teen wolf and maze runner, i'm looking at you 💔) but after watching the fnaf movie and falling in love with j hutch like i'm 14 again, i wanted to try to write for mike!  i'm sorry if this story sucks tbh. i wrote it pretty quickly, did not edit it in any way (watch for grammar and spelling errors!) and i'm still trying to establish characters and plot and do all this silly billy worldbuilding, but i'll get better! i'm also taking requests for both fluff and smut, so if y'all would like to send anything for me to write, i'll def accept! like i said in my last post, i think i'm gonna redo my tumblr layout so i can feel like a true fanfic/misc blog lmao so ignore its under construction phase ((: i hope y'all enjoy this though bc i've been thinking ab mike schmidt all night 

i have sooo many ideas, but between last night and this morning, i’ve been thinking of abby’s babysitter!reader (bc fuck max). 

you’ve been channel surfing in the living room since you put abby down, working with her to lock down a nightly routine. ideally, she’d bathe, eat dinner (god willingly), brush her teeth, and then you’d be able to get her to lay in bed and doze off. some nights, this required dessert. 

“you just brushed your teeth though. it’s gonna taste gross.”

“not if it’s one of those mint chocolate things you always have.” you straighten up, eyes squinted at the child before you; she meant the small, sometimes melted, squares of Andes mint chocolate you always kept. they’d always been your favorite, a guilty pleasure in this fucked up world. 

you hadn’t been babysitting abby for long, and you didn’t realize that she'd been watching you crush the chocolates like it was light work. they were easy to eat, and once you had one, you found out how easy it was to eat another one, and then another one, and then another one until there was a mountain of crinkled foil next to your phone and chocolate smeared on your face. 

"please, y/n. just one," you didn't exactly know if it was a lie. abby was convincing, able to break you down with her eyes, pleading and puppy-dog like. "please." 

you cave, leaning down to brush her hair back from her forehead and place a gentle kiss on the skin. with pursed lips, you whisper, "fine, but tomorrow night. i have to get some more." 

abby does nothing but smile, eyes fluttering closed. you stay with her for a bit like you always do--watching the way her chest rises and falls, and how her features twitched with slumber. features scarily similar to mike's. 

of course she'd look like mike. they were siblings, no shit, but the resemblance occupied your brain. there was sweet abby, with her colorful clothes and scribbled drawings and persuasive aura, and then there was mike. 

you shake your head, giving abby another kiss before exiting her room. you didn't need to think about mike. he wasn't what you were here for. you'd come to abby's school as an aide and after she'd privately confided in you about her home life, you knew you had to help her. you would do anything for her, even if that meant taking care of her while suppressing the overwhelming school girl crush you had on her older brother.

mike was a bit older than you, which didn't scare you at all. guys in their early 20s were rarely mature, doing anything they could just to fuck; but guys in their late 20s, mike specifically, had only ever shown you couth, surprisingly. 

for nearly two months, five mornings a week, the sound of the door being unlocked would ring out. you'd turn to see sunshine pouring into the living room, enveloping mike's brooding figure in a radiant golden glow.

he'd hang his coat on the wall hooks, drop his bag down to his feet, and give you a small but warm smile. you'd try to not to embarrass yourself as you two made small talk, packing up your things.

you always left unscathed, but recently it'd been hard. you were always thinking about him, dreaming about him even; how his hair would feel between your fingers, how his hands would feel on your face, how his face would feel between your thighs. 

the thought is washed away, drowned out by the sound effects of a loud infomercial when the door opens, and you're turning and squinting against the wash of pale yellow on your face. mike steps forward with a, "hey, y/n" and you meekly raise your hand to wave. 

he hangs his hoodie up to reveal his shoulder blades flexing under an uncharacteristically tight navy blue sweater. you can't help but stare.

"just wake up?" his voice is raspy, but he's still facing the wall, rummaging in his bag for something. 

"um...yeah. brain's still turning on," you lie, tossing the thick blue blanket off your body. you didn't sleep at all, kept up with your thoughts and the last of your Andes mints (though you loved her, you couldn't give abby your last ones).

"hm," he mutters, finally turning to you but keeping his hands behind his back. something crinkles in them and you raise your eyebrow at the tired yet amused expression he takes with you. it's enough to make your body hot and you awkwardly pull at the collar of your shirt, fanning yourself off.

"hot?" the gravelly tone sends you into a giggling fit, shaking your head as you shoot to your feet. you have to leave before you do or say something you regret. 

"uh, yeah, it was s-super hot under that...um...blanket. i shouldn't have worn sweatpants to s-sleep," you stutter, nodding your head along with mike as he steps closer to you. this couldn't be the moment something happens, right? it'd been so casual between you too, very friendly, and he'd never shown any signs of trying to do anything with you before. why would he choose right now, so spontaneously? 

he stands before you, the slightest bit taller than you. you're able to see every pore, every freckle, every microscopic detail in his eyes and lips.

you open your mouth, hoping your heart doesn't fall out, to ask what's happening, when he reveals a bag of Andes mints, one bigger than you've ever seen.

your mouth stays open in surprise. "wh-"

"abby's been talking about them. i wondered where she found out about them but--" he nudges his head towards the coffee table, where a small mound of green wrappers lay. you swear under your breath, cursing yourself for not throwing them away like you usually do. 

"i'm sorry," you whisper, blushing beyond measure as you begin to frantically pack your things. "i should be more careful with that stuff."

"god, y/n, you're saying it like it's coke," mike chuckles. he sets the bag down on the couch and reaches out to you, placing his hand on yours as you shove things into your tote. "hey." 

his voice forces you to stop and look up. you melt under his stare just like you do with abby. the puppy-dog thing must run in the family.

"i feel bad about not being able to pay you yet, and i really appreciate all you're doing. abby told me that you loved those mints, so..."

"thank you, mike," you say over the sound of your pounding heart. you didn't care about the money, you didn't need it. being appreciated by someone who made your heartbeat resonate throughout your body was payment enough. "this is really sweet." 

"thank you, y/n. you don't know how much this means to me." You scoff, throwing your tote over your shoulder and looking down at your feet. 

"i'm always happy to help." you and mike stand facing each other for what feels like hours, the air as thick as molasses between you. his eyes were squinted, low and dark and intriguing.

you wished you could read his mind. what was he thinking? did his heart do the same thing as yours, wacking against his ribcage with no end in sight? did he stay up thinking about you when he was supposed to be sleeping, imagining how you felt, what you sounded like, how you tasted---

"see you later tonight?" his voice rocks you out of your trance. he's not thinking about you. he's tired, wondering when you'll leave so he can fall into his bed and doze off. 

"yeah. tell abby i said i'll see her tonight." your smile is tight as you exit the house, cursing at yourself as you get into your car. 

you didn't know how long you could go on like this. 

ya, i know this sucks and it isn't really anything but we're gonna work our way through these fics and blurbs to really develop a cute relationship (,: i will still be writing other fics for mike, and possibly using another babysitter!reader in a different universe, but as for now, we're gonna be rocking with these two (: (thinking that we’ll label her as 🌱🍫!reader)  all notes are appreciated (: thanks for reading!

Jenn finds the club Max had mentioned with ease. When she had gone to check on the girl, Jenn had been informed that a few of her friends had had encounters similar to the one Max had been saved from.

I knew you’d be an Overlord one day. You might just be one of the strongest yet.

Vox’s words echoed in her mind. She was new to the game, but perhaps with enough work (and stubbornness), so could be the Overlord he thought she would be.

This realm may be corrupted, but it's souls like you who show there can be good here. You can make a change, my dear.

Roman, her witch visitor, seemed to believe in her as well.

She squared her shoulders and took a deep breath. It was time to either prove them right or terribly wrong.

((Mentions of violence, drugs))

Jenn entered the club and glanced around, taking stock of the patrons, the layout, and the overall atmosphere. This club was similar to the one she and Zoe had visited; however, this one seemed to have VIP rooms. She frowned, wondering how many sinners lured others in there with their consent.

She focused on scanning the crowds again and spotted her target: a tall female with blush pink skin, purple hair, and red eyes. She stood against the wall near the bar, her feathered wings, which were a shade darker than her skin, created a backdrop behind her as her catlike tail flicked. Her real name was unknown, but those who knew of her called her Veil.

Jenn could see the hungry look in Veil’s eyes as she scanned the crowd - she was on the hunt.

And if all went according to plan, Jenn would be the one hunting her.

Jenn casually made her way over to the bar, keeping an eye on Veil while she ordered a whiskey, specifically a brand that had a lower alcohol content than what she usually drank so she could keep her wits about her. Shortly after she received her drink, she saw Max take her place at the bar.

To prove that her trust hadn’t been misplaced, Jenn had asked Max to accompany her on this. Max had seemed hesitant, but according to what she had told Jenn about Veil, Max was the type of sinner Veil would go after.

As if on cue, Veil pushed herself off of the wall and approached Max. Though her hearing had been enhanced with her wolf ears, Jenn struggled to hear the conversation the two were having due to the overall volume in the club. She looked across the dancefloor and gave a firm nod to Sam, Max’s friend, who had joined them.

Max had told Sam about Jenn and what she had done. Sam was in denial, and she couldn’t believe Max would trade her soul away so easily after some stranger saved her. Max had insisted Sam gave Jenn a chance.

”Give me a chance to earn your trust,” Jenn had told Sam. “I can take care of Veil. All I ask from you is your trust, and your soul. If you don’t think I have what it takes, you get your soul back - no questions asked.”

”Max, is she fucking for real?” Sam looked to her friend.

”Yes,” Max confirmed. “Give her a chance.”

”But she’s friends with other Overlords,” Sam argued. “For fucks sake, she’s sleeping with one!”

”But she’s not like them,” Max shot back. “Give her a chance.”

Sam looked between Jenn and Max, contemplating her decision before giving a sigh. “Fine,” Sam conceded. “But no funny business, you got that?”

”You have my word,” Jenn gave a firm nod and stuck out her hand. Sam had stared at Jenn’s extended hand briefly before taking it in hers.

At the club, Sam approached Max, providing the distraction they needed to see if Veil would slip something into Max’s drink. At first, Jenn didn’t think that Veil was going to use this opportunity they laid out in front of her; but, she saw the subtle slip of the hand she had been looking for.

Sam looked Jenn’s way, and Jenn flicked her ears twice in response, indicating she saw what she needed. Jenn watched as Sam excused herself and went back to her original spot she had been sitting at.

Now came the tricky part.

Jenn concentrated on her powers, which she felt were the tiniest bit stronger thanks to the addition of Sam’s soul, and sprouted two vines: one lurking behind Veil, the other grabbed Jenn’s glass and moved to be behind Max. The one behind Max she made sure to stay out of Veil’s sight while the other she had used to knock over several bar stools before quickly pulling it back into the ground.

Fortunately, Veil had turned to see what had happened, which allowed Jenn to command the vine to replace Max’s drink with Jenn’s.

Now, it was up to Max to act her part.

Jenn continued to observe, watching Veil begin to lightly touch Max’s arms as they talked. Max began to play her part, her body language becoming lax as she drank Jenn’s beverage.

Veil draped an arm around Max and coaxed her out of her chair, leading her to a VIP room she had clearly booked ahead of time.

This was it.

Jenn followed the two at a safe distance as they entered the VIP room. There wasn’t much in the way of security, so Jenn was able to flick her wrist and curl a branch between the door and the frame, preventing it from closing fully.

She stood just outside the door, waiting for Max’s cue, and gave another look to Sam, who’s eyes were on her.

Don’t fuck this up, she told herself.

”No, please don’t,” she heard Max’s plea.

Jenn slipped through the door, pulling the branch back into the ground and securing the door behind her as she entered the dark space. Quietly, she locked the door and began to creep in as Max spoke once again.

”I said stop,” Max protested weakly, still playing her part.

“Now, now,” Veil cooed. “Just relax and let me make you forget all the disappointments you’ve ever had.”

Jenn flicked her hand in the direction of the two, vines sprouting behind Veil and wrapping around her wrists.

“Hm? Didn’t know you were into restraints,” Veil remarked to Max, her voice dripping with seduction.

”She’s not,” Jenn commented from the shadow she stood in.

”Who's there?” Veil asked, trying to stand but the vines tightened around her wrists.

“Hello, Veil,” Jenn greets as she stepped out from the shadows.

”Who the hell are you?” Veil spat. “I don’t remember making this a threesome.”

”You decided that when you slipped something into her drink,” Jenn informs her, nodding to Max.

Veil scoffed. “You have no proof,” she smirked, still tugging on the vines that held her in place.

”Then you won’t mind drinking this,” Jenn challenges, producing Max’s spiked drink.

Veil looked between Jenn and Max, who had gotten up from the couch and casually walked over to where Jenn stood. “How? I watched you drink that!” Veil shouted at Max.

”Correction,” Jenn smirked. “You watched her drink my drink.”

”You bitch!” Veil sneered.

Jenn shrugged. “I’ve been called worse.”

Veil squirmed, attempting to free herself from the vines. Jenn couldn’t lie, there was a small part of her that was enjoying watching Veil struggle. She wondered if in that moment Veil felt the same way she made her victims feel after she drugged them.

”Now then,” Jenn smiled, unable to contain the small part of her that was enjoying this. “What to do with you?”

”You don’t have the guts to do anything,” Veil argued. “This little tough girl act is cute and all, even kind of a turn on, but that’s all it is: an act.”

”You see, it’s not,” Jenn smiled. “You wouldn’t be the first person I’ve killed who's done this sort of shit.” Vines came up and snaked their way around Veil’s legs. “And you won’t be the last.”

”Cut the crap, sweetheart,” Veil countered. “Let me go, and maybe I’ll let you walk out of here alive.”

”You don’t seem to be in the position to be making such demands,” Jenn reminded her, the vines tugging on Veil’s arms and legs to reinforce her words. She withdrew the angelic steel dagger she had acquired from her encounter with James from the sheath strapped to her leg and approached Veil. “Any last words?”

”Do your research next time,” Veil warned, fire igniting from her fingertips and igniting the vines that held her. Jenn took a step back as the vines were easily engulfed by the flames. Veil knocks Jenn to the ground and pins her to the floor. “Not so tough now, are you?” Veil taunted.

”Heel,” Jenn smirks.

“Ha!” Veil laughed. “I’m not some fucking dog you can command!”

”Wasn’t talking to you,” Jenn replied.

A growling could be heard nearby and as Veil looked to the source, her smug look was replaced with one of fear. There in the room was Jeffie, though he wasn’t his usual cute adorable shark pup form. Instead, he had grown and was much, much more terrifying. Using his arms and cables, Jeffie pulled Veil off of Jenn, allowing his master to stand and dust herself off.

”Good boy, Jeffie,” Jenn smiled, picking the dagger up from the ground.

”What the fuck!?” Veil cried out, struggling against Jeffie’s hold on her. “What is this thing?”

”Meet Jeffie, my pet,” Jenn answered simply, closing the distance. “He doesn’t seem to like you. Can’t imagine why.”

”You fucking-“

Jenn sliced Veil’s throat before she could finish her sentence, her body becoming limp in Jeffie’s grasp. Once she was dead, Jeffie let her body fall to the floor and he began to transform into his lovable puppy size.

”That was fucking amazing,” Jenn heard Sam mutter. She turned and saw the two of them standing by the door.

Jenn figured that Sam had come to check on them and Max had let her friend in.

”I told you,” Max responded.

”Alright,” Sam nodded. “You’re good. You can keep my soul.”

”Glad you feel that way,” Jenn smiled, returning the dagger to its sheath. “And as I told Max, if at any point you deem me unfit to care for your soul, I will give it back to you.” Jenn looks at Jeffie. “Head home, boy,” she commands, and Jeffie disappears through her phone. “Let’s get out of here before someone starts asking questions,” she suggests to the girls.

5 Actions Regarding how to Play A Slot What exactly are slot machines? A slot machine is a gambling video game which utilizes reels and symbols. They get their name simply because early slots in Dwell casinos ended up performed by placing a coin in the slot. Players inserted their coin or token, pulled a lever and spun the reels. When the symbols on the center line matched, they won a prize.

The earliest slots made use of only 3 or 4 symbols and every one had a different price. Modern-day movie slots now use ten or even more symbols, that makes them each visually interesting and offers a bigger selection of payouts much too.

Slot Machine Options Why are slots so popular? Slots are the most popular kind of on line gambling and in Vegas, more people Engage in slots than almost every other desk recreation. For the uninitiated, They appear repetitive, and their Appears can travel you mad. But a lot of gamblers around the globe like to Participate in slots for quite a few reasons:

Amazing amount of alternative Participating graphics and layout Modest stakes but huge prizes Slots might have existed since the turn from the 20th century and they became a staple in British isles pubs for decades. But due to developments in technology, they’re now in a completely various league. You have only to Enjoy game titles like Guns n’ Roses to find out how significantly slots have come.

What is it possible to gain? For the many snazzy graphics and gameplay, slots gamers treatment most regarding the payout probable as well as the ingenious path to income prizes.

On line slots Have got a optimum multiplier per image, and since you'll be able to hit greater than 1 payline earn on the same spin, a optimum whole get per game also. This range is commonly set because of the On line casino, so they can regulate their liabilities.

With over 2,000 slots from which to choose at PlayOJO, you’ll obtain an exceptionally wide selection of payouts. Older vintage slots typically have fairly low utmost wins. Rainbow Riches features a utmost acquire per payline of just 500x, but it really stays considered one of the most popular slots of all time, in order that modest prize Obviously will it no hurt in the slightest degree!

The conventional For brand spanking new slots in recent times is the five,000x best payout the thing is with online games like Wolf Gold and E book of Lifeless.

At the very best of end of the payout spectrum you’ll find game titles like Starburst by using a 50,000x max gain per line, and jackpot slots with countless kilos up for grabs.

The paytable

If you would like know very well what prizes you may win and the way to acquire them, the paytable will be the destination to go. Some paytables provide you with the prizes in coins, while some use a hard cash figure dependant on the coin value you’ve preferred.

This paytable in the legendary Gonzo’s Quest slot demonstrates us how many coins you’ll gain in case you match 3 or even more symbols with a payline.

Paytable from Gonzo’s Quest But knowing Whatever you can acquire when you strike 5 cherries is just one piece of the puzzle. Although a slot includes a 5,000x symbol get along with a £250,000 highest payout, the way in which prizes are awarded has extra to do with software configurations named RTP, volatility and hit frequency. To know how a slot decides who wins, how frequently and the amount of, You must go underneath the hood…

How slots get the job done – design satisfies math engine Slots are a fusion of fine seems to be and clever computer code. It0 would be the seems to be that attract the punters in, nonetheless it’s the software that generates the secret of the massive wins.

There are lots of different types of slots player that casinos will need different slots encounters to match. Some are like lotteries, which has a tiny prospect of life-transforming wins. Many others produce non-stop motion even so the trade-off is the small prize quantities.

To some players, the home edge is The main factor in selecting a slot. Slots usually have a house fringe of 4-five%, Despite the fact that from the slots earth, gamers look at RTP. The RTP is definitely the reverse of the home edge. If your home keeps five%, the Return To Participant is 95%.

How a slots RTP functions isn't that diverse for the payout model for on the web roulette. The developers make a list of regulations which deliver a series of random wins of various measurements, all of which add as much as below just what the slot player has staked.

Most slots have an RTP of all around 96% which places them on the par with roulette and card games like Caribbean Stud. Because of this if you stake $one hundred,000 about an incredibly large variety of spins, you ought to expect to have $ninety six,000 again. In other words, you’d shed about $4,000 in a very video game that has a 4% home edge.

Essential Slots Conditions A further component is strike frequency, an element that affects the quantity of spins it will require on regular before you strike a profitable mixture or reward.

Except for RTP, slots players are most interested in how risky a slot plays. If You mostly aspiration huge and possess your eye over a jackpot prize, you won’t get much pleasure from enjoying a match that is not pretty unstable.

Applying every one of these levers, developers give Each individual slot match its personal gameplay experience or ‘payout temperament’ as I contact it. It’s important to think about these components When selecting which slots to play.

How am i able to enhance my possibilities of profitable on slot machines? That’s the million-dollar concern, but there’s no million-dollar answer. By and enormous, on line slots are pure luck, so there’s no in-match approach You should use to idea the odds within your favour (even so firmly or rapidly you strike the buttons in your pub fruit device).

But by deciding on video games with larger hit fees and reduce volatility, and making certain you will get the best deal any time you Participate in, you can put oneself able to play more time, guess sensibly and improve your odds of dealing with a gain.

There are many myths all around how to alter your odds of profitable on old-fashion pub fruit devices (and I’ve under no circumstances found one that was genuine!). But there aren't any silver bullets to transform your odds once you Participate in slots on-line.

You'll be able to improve the chance of hitting a successful spin throughout your next session by pretty much actively playing much more spins, because additional spins equal extra odds to win.

But that doesn’t improve your odds winning on any one spin, nor does it provide you with a much better potential for a bigger earn. And much more importantly, it will eventually cost you extra money.

I wouldn't advise participating in a lot more spins or Altering your stake, simply because they gained’t make a different and it’s not smart gambling. The only real way you are able to Individually have any influence on any possible returns is to select game titles with higher RTPs.

You may still not see the impression of that over a small sample measurement, but not less than by choosing a slot using a ninety seven% RTP in lieu of ninety five%, you’ll have far better maths on the facet.

Choosing the right slot in your case With thousands to pick from, you may surprise how on the planet you could find a slot which provides the kind of excitement and Perform expertise you get pleasure from most.

You will be a admirer of a specific recreation studio (I’m a Thunderkick person) or simply a topic like Irish or Asian slots. But Otherwise, listed here’s yet another way to tackle it.

Request oneself these queries and use the responses to choose which slots match your player profile.

And last but not least for the fans, teams and drivers who love the Red Bull Ring.” Erich Wolf, General Manager of the Red Bull Ring, added: “The Red Bull Ring is excited to announce that we will continue our special relationship with Formula 1 until 2030. This long-term deal represents Formula 1’s strong commitment to Austria and Styria. “The fact that the Formula 1 keeps the home Grand Prix of Oracle Red Bull Racing is of great importance for the Murtal region and for the employees of the Red Bull Ring. With pride and joy we celebrate the tenth joint year at Spielberg. Our special thanks goes to the fans and all supporters.” via Formula 1 News https://www.formula1.com

Jojen Reed (Game of Thrones) Appearance Guide

Played by Thomas Brodie-Sangster

This list is relating to the HBO Max, US layout. This list contains Game of Thrones Spoilers since most of the episodes have descriptions. I may do a non-spoiler list in the future. 

If I have missed any episodes, please comment below and I’ll add the episode. This does not include manga, books, video games, or movies. This also does not include mentions. Only appearances.

Season 3

S3E2 - The first appearance of Jojen. Jojen appears in front of Bran in a dream of Bran’s while he was trying to shot a crow with an arrow. Jojen then appears again later in the episode, in real life, when Bran and Osha were resting. Jojen quiets Summer when the wolf was continually growling at him, and his sister Meera, by simply letting Summer sniff his hand and looking him the eyes. Again, later in the show, Jojen is walking with Bran and the rest of them on a road. Jojen talks about the three eyed raven with Bran, and how Bran can get into Summers head while he’s dreaming. Jojen then says he will get better with practice, and tells him he’s a wrag. They also talk about Jojen and Meera’s father, and how their father told Bran about the rebellion, as well as saved Ned Stark during it.

S3E4 - Jojen helps Bran in his dream while he’s trying to get the three eyed crow. After the dream ends, he’s by the fire watching Bran wake up.

S3E6 - While Jojen is sleeping, he starts having a seizure, so Meera coaxs him through it, and explains to everyone that this happens when Jojen has visions. When he waked up, Jojen tells Bran he saw John Snow on the wrong side of the wall with enemies.

S3E7 - Osha gets mad at Jojen for telling Bran about what is happening to him, him having warg abilities, and for only sitting around talking with Bran instead of helping Osha and the others.

S3E9 - He’s sitting in the old windmill with the rest of the Bran “squad” XD. Just talking. Then, they see a bunch of riders (wildlings) on horses near the windmill. If only they knew, the wildlings are with Bran’s brother John Snow. Jojen instructs Bran how to use his warg powers like he just did by accident to keep Hodor quiet. Later in the episode, Jojen and the rest of Bran’s “squad” are still in the old windmill. Jojen explains to Bran that his warg powers are special, and that he shouldn’t be able to get into a person mind, but he did.

A/N - This episode makes me cry, and it has nothing to do with Jojen as to why 😭⬆️

S3E10 - Jojen, Hodor, and Meera listen to Bran’s horrific story about a man that served his guest the guests own son to eat (by making him into a pie). And how that man, the one that murdered his guests son, was cursed afterwards. Later in the episode, Jojen meets Sam and Gilly. Sam tried to convince Bran to come to Castle Black, but Jojen tells them he knows about the white walkers, and getting Bran north of the wall is too important to be afraid of the dangers north of the wall. Again, later, Jojen is there when Sam explains to everyone what the dragon glass is for.

Season 4

S4E2 - After Bran wakes up from being inside Summers body/mind, Jojen explains to him it’s not good to stay in Summers head for to long. Since he’ll forget everyone and everything he knows about being human. Then, they all walk until they find a tree with red leaves and a faces carved on it. One of the sacred trees.

S4E4 - While resting for the night, Jojen and the rest of them hear a baby cry. The baby that’s supposed to be a sacrifice for the white walkers. Jojen is starting to look very sick during this episode. To help save Summer and John Snow’s wolf Ghost, they all go to the camp that’s now over run by ex night watchers. While sneaking around, they get caught when Meera decided she doesn’t want to a part of the rescue and begins to leave. Jojen begins to have a vision seizure while one of the ex night watch are interrogating them.

S4E5 - While they are all tied up, Jojen tells Bran he can’t give up. He sees a vision of a special tree behind Bran, and says it’s waiting for him - that, “this isn’t the end.” A little later, the ex nights watch chain Meera up in chins while standing up. To try and save his sister, Jojen tells the men he can help him with his “sight.” But then, one man threatens Jojen with what they are going to do to his sister Meera. A little pissed by the threat, Jojen tells him he saw his bones after his death. They all think they’re getting saved by the nights watch, but instead one of the men is taking Bran. Luckily, that doesn’t happen since Bran uses his warg abilities on Hodor. Jojen then convinced Bran to not let John Snow know he’s there, so they can continue to go to the three eyed raven.

S4E10 - They all get to the three eyed raven’s tree. While walking to the cave that meets with the tree, a skeleton grabs onto Jojen’s leg, pulling him halfway into the ice. Meera tries to help, but as she gets the skeletons hold off of him, more skeletons come out of the ice. Meera, Jojen, and Hodor who’s being controlled by Bran, are fighting off the skeletons. At one point, while Jojen is on the ground, a skeleton repeatedly stabs him in the stomach. This is where he says his finale goodbyes to Meera, and she cuts his throat for a quick death. This is the last “living” scene of Jojen Reed.

So me and my friend have been playing The Quarry (the spirital sequel to Until Dawn) and I just wanted to ramble about some thoughts/story changes I would've wanted. Spoilers under the read more.

As a general note this is the status of all the characters in our first and currently only finished playthrough: Conselors: Laura (Alive but imprisoned), Max (Killed by Caleb in Chp. 10), Abigail (Killed by Nick in Chp. 6), Kaitlyn (Killed by Caleb in Chp. 10), Nick (Alive but infected), Emma (Killed by Max in Chp. 4), Ryan (Died by bleeding out in Chp. 9), Dylan (Killed by Caleb in Chp. 10), Jacob (Alive) Other Characters: Chris (Killed by Ryan in Chp. 9), Travis (Alive), Jedediah (Alive), Bobby (Alive), Constance (Killed by Laura in Chp. 9), Caleb (Alive), The White Wolf (Alive and literally not mentioned in the playthrough until the who is alive/dead montage)

Ending: 9/10 Evidence pieces found (Attack Photo was missing). Remaining Hackett Family members arrested for the murder of the two missing hikers.

I think the map is a really cool feature, it helps to actually know the layout of the place we're spending time, even if I don't think the travel time between characters ever comes up.

Max being playable really feels tacked on so they can say 9 playable characters. His choice of 50/50 dead/alive feels cheap, especially when he's had nothing prior to do in game. They could've very easily given him a scene or two in the police station, or given him a chase sequence so his death could at least feel justified and not a random chance.

Harum Scarum feels really weird for a circus that was meant to be happening in 2015. Like I had assumed the circus plotline was meant to be at least a couple of decades back, like the miners in Until Dawn or the prologue storylines of Man of Medan and Little Hope. Like it felt really strange for a circus with such an old aesthetic to be so modern. I admit, I don't frequent circuses so maybe I'm missing something but I just thought it was out of place.

Sticking to the same topic, the tarot system is interesting. I like the aesthetic and having to choose which premonition you want to see adds a little more thinking onto the system, but that makes it really frustrating that some of the premonitions are just really bad. Now, the other games also have some bad premonitions a lot of them, but in the other games you can view all the premonitions so you can't miss a very useful one simply because you picked up a not useful one. This, combined with the fact that we couldn't find any way to make the premonition viewed bigger like in the previous game just made then feel a lot less useful. We literally got two that were events that were guaranteed to happen with the Chariot (which always happens, and therefore seems a bit odd of a premonition in the first place) and the Sun showed us Jacob alive, our final scene with Jacob put him in no danger. Also, while we didn't collect it The Hierophant is a really cool scene, I wish you could always get it and that it didn't come at the cost of one of the other premonitions. Also a kinda funny side note is my friend who I was playing with actually reads tarots and seeing their expressions at Eliza's reading of each card was a highlight.

Final problem related to the tarot, collecting them feels very annoying. The idea of them being in the camera angles and not physically being collected by the characters is cool, but it makes them really easy to miss because the camera angle will only switch at very specific points. A very clear example of this is the prologue where there's two paths around the area where the Fool is for seemingly no reason but making it possible to miss the card. Obviously the cards should be missable, but having to walk through every possible path of giant open areas to try and find them when they don't even have the advance of the other collectable of being highlighted when close to them, felt a little frustrating.

Some of the paths seem a little miss leading or don't really lead to anything, but that might be lessened with later playthroughs.

Lastly, we experienced a couple of glitches throughout the game. Most of them were visual issues, with clues and evidence only loading in as we interacted with them, or Abigail's hair shaking rapidly up and down during her talk with Nick in the pool house. Then there was some audio bugs where dialogue would restart or repeat as it had started before the visuals weren't ready, or the lines had continued into the pause screen. However, we also had a glitch where, I assume from shooting too close to the end of the timer, we had Abi shoot Nick, but then the game not register that and Nick killing her anyway. The tiles didn't get shoot of the walk either so I don't think we missed the shot. It was just a bit confusing.

Overall, I do really like the game. Don't take my ramblings as the game being bad, I just like the ramble about my thoughts and if I disliked the game I would not be spending so much time thinking about it. If you want a fun slasher experience and liked Until Dawn, you'll like the Quarry. And I can't wait for The Devil in Me to come out for more horror experience (this time, hopefully, Jigsaw style).

Shiitakee and I came barging back into the ship’s command center panting and sweating from cutting what was supposed to take fifteen minutes from the basement to the center by walking to a forth by running. My running companion is gripping the door frame as he tries to catch his breath. Between breaths, he mumbles how he needs to cut back on smoking as I include myself into the meeting at hand, which continues to proceed even with our unexpected, loud arrival. I take my position at Saamuki’s right. She and several Tauvoxes, high-ranking ones, including the lieutenant, of course, are looking down at the large holographic three-dimensional layout of what I can only guess is Commander Knox’s spaceship. One of the rooms, a big one, is missing. So, there’s a giant hole in the middle of the illustration. I don’t get the chance to guess what it is because when Saamuki points at it, she figures it out for me. 

“That must be where the ship’s crystal is, but why isn’t its room showing up?”

One of the Tauvoxes, who I’ve only seen one other time, which was when Syco carried the three of us back on the ship, speaks up after saluting her. “Pardon me, Commander Saamuki, but is it really wise to stage an assault on Commander Knox? They outnumber us one to ten million and most of them are our own.”

I only caught a glimpse of him the last time I saw him. Now that he’s standing to my left, I can see his brown fur has sprinkles of white and grey. His body type is similar to the others in that he is muscular and about double either mine or Saamuki’s heights, but he’s wider. His stomach is protruding. There’s a scar over his left eye, and a small metal pole has replaced the bottom half of his right leg. The captain, as I soon learn his rank, truly fits the physical description of a pirate. 

“Captain, if it comes to that, we just have to give it our all. That being said, our best option should be having a small group sneaking onto the ship and assassinating Knox while he’s busy conquering that planet. Rescue the others as well, but finding Shiitakee should be our priority.”

“Then, I volunteer to go, Commander Saamuki,” the lieutenant offered. He saluted when Saamuki made eye contact with him.  

“No. We can’t afford to bring any Tauvox with us. This mission requires stealth. Besides, you’ve proven you can keep this entire ship from blowing up.”

“That would put you at four hours if Commander Knox defeats Commander Zel in the time I calculated, which my calculations are never wrong.” This Tauvox standing right across from Saamuki would look like any other Tauvox, but his fur is longer than the rest. He tied the ones on his head into a ponytail, which looks like a wolf’s tail because of its aged appearance. He gets out a screen and tosses it towards us. Once it’s right above the replica of the enemy ship, it changes into three shapes. One is a large ball and the second is a dot slowly inching towards the larger shape. The third is a clock that shows how much time we have left. We’re at eleven hours, twenty minutes, and thirty seconds. “With such limited time, Commander Saamuki, if none of us can join you in such an imperative mission, one that will decide the fate of the entire Universe, who could possibly qualify then?” 

All these men had their eyes on her. As someone who was once a sex worker and one who still looks like one, even with her conservative outfit, the look of these men isn’t of lust. They are hungry, yes, but not for a taste of Saamuki. Instead, those eyes hungered for answers and hope, hope for their commander to make the right decision.  

The fate of quadrillions is in the hands of us—a snake possessed by some nonbinary ghost, a mushroom with a smoking addiction, and a human with a magical crown. They flew towards Commander Knox’s spaceship using Saamuki’s much smaller spaceship. Her Tauvoxes are following not too far away. Commander Knox had apparently defeated Commander Zel an hour earlier than predicted, which got a rise out of the ponytailed Tauvox. While the three of us didn’t show how anxious we are, I could feel it in the room. Shiitakee and I stayed silent. While piloting her ship Saamuki mentioned how we’re finally getting the others back, but I didn’t vocalize my excitement.

I didn’t vocalize anything because I was far from excited, even if I’ve been longing for this moment. I just sat and watched the stars fly past us, looking like lines because of how fast this tiny ship was going, with the outfit I copied from my dream using my crown. I did look at Saamuki, though. Without words, we shared something, and that was acknowledging our contingency plan. If we failed, then one of us would need to stay behind while the others escaped. The one that does would have to detonate Knox’s crystal. That would instantly kill everyone in a hundred-mile radius. Not even an overpowered Watcher could survive such an explosion, which would mean the one that would stay behind wouldn’t either. Hopefully, that doesn’t happen. I’ll make sure that doesn’t happen. 

Quadrant Eighty-Five. The planet is called Vecta. It’s the same as I remember it. Its moons light up the night sky, this rocky landscape, and its light glints around the edges of those ahead, on the other side of this boulder. I can see Tauvoxes, Virmuses, and other alien species fighting on Knox’s side. No signs of Skeema, Ashley, Mikrovos, or even Khavas. They clash against the Talten’s blazing weapons and the weapons of the other figures. I spot a red-painted symbol, which is glowing, on one of the wrists of the Talten’s allies. Not only may Licata be part of the fight but Sakhra too. Saamuki doesn’t know who she is, of course, but I can see she realizes the same thing I do in the case of her long-time rock friend. She turns to us with fiery blue eyes. “We have a mission. We can worry about the fight later. Come on you two while everyone is busy fighting each other.”

Saamuki, with a blaster far more superior than the ones we used in the beginning, is the one in front leading us to Knox’s ship that’s about a yard away. I’m in the middle with my dagger in one hand and my own blaster in the other. It’s just as strong as the one in her grip. Before we separated from her Tauvoxes, I watched her test them. They went through five walls of what’s been her ship for about two days now. It nearly took off an inch of the Tauvox in one of the rooms she shot through. Luckily he dodged just in time, or he would’ve joined Apulsion in the afterlife. Shiitakee is last in case he needs to omit one of his gases and is empty-handed. What he can do with that cap compensates for his lack of weaponry. 

With every step we took to bring us closer to the spaceship ahead, the louder the battle to our left became even though they continued to be well far away from us. Screams are heard as well as curses to Knox’s followers. Hundreds of blasters are going off, probably from the Virmuses, but only a Talten is heard collapsing from the shots. Horns, those from Tauvoxes, rip through flesh, and screams follow suit, but Knox’s side isn’t in complete control of the battle. I smelt flesh being burned. Some of the Taltens set a few Tauvoxes, which howled to the night sky, on fire. Sakhra’s group is pulling their weight in the fight, hitting the opposing side with their symbols.

In the corner of my eye, Sakhra’s group slaughters hundreds on Knox’s side. I can’t even imagine how many have been killed. The battlefield must be covered in bodies, blood, and whatever insects are on this planet. While over here, it sounds brutal enough; the fight taking place above our heads doesn’t seem too merciless either. Several factions of Space Pirates are shooting at each other. Thousands are probably fighting outside of their ships, fighting out in space. There must be hundreds of corpses floating out in outer space now. 

One of the ships catches my eyes. Banners stretch over their sides. Those long strips of cloth have the symbol of the Lords, which means one of the battalions has joined the fight. This must be their last stand against Commander Knox, but Saamuki’s Tauvoxes aren’t taking part in it. Knox would know we’re here if they were, but the lieutenant is in command of the ship if they’re spotted. 

Saamuki activated her screen, which has the layout of the ship. She took a moment to study it, and then she motions for it to vanish. “Shiitakee, this will take a bit. Watch out backs and,” she turns to me then continues with, “Make sure both of your weapons are at the ready in case there’s someone on the other side.” With that, she held down her blaster’s trigger, causing it to become a blowtorch. Sparks flew, and the metal groaned as its being forced to tear. I held my weapons even tighter as she got closer to finishing. When the piece finally gave way, we were thankfully not greeted by someone pointing their blaster at our heads but instead a four-sided hole the right size for each of us to easily slide into and enter a dimly lit room with flickering lights and some crates. The room must be for storage. Our leader’s eyes are fully engulfed in blue. Then, as quickly as they swallowed the rest of her eyes, they went back to just filling her pupils. 

“I didn’t see anyone in the room. So, let’s go.”

We stepped inside. The room is far more expansive than what it looked like on the outside. It’s about the size of the library, but a lot colder. Someone set the air conditioner to the max, it seems. I’m shivering even with this armor. Shiitakee is too, but not Saamuki. She has her supernatural powers to thank for that. 

For such a big room, there isn’t much in here. We walk past a few crates as tall as Shiitakee. “Those boxes are giving me the creeps. Please, can we walk a bit faster? They’re weirding me out and I’ve been friends with Syco for years.”

Saamuki jokingly remarks, “I’ve known Cabelo all my life and I have to tell you Syco has nothing on Cabelo.” 

“Cabelo? That guy that owns that whole sex hotel? That Cabelo?” She nods. “I knew you looked familiar, but I wasn’t sure since you’re you know wearing that whole get up. Never heard that you had the whole blue thing going on until, well, we met, but it’s really cool. I wish I could do what you can. I would’ve shot Syco a long time ago.”

She giggles. “I haven’t always been able to shoot fire out of my hands. My powers are recent. It has some ups and downs too.” She shrugs.

“You got to tell me the story behind it, especially how you and her met. A human. Wow. I mean Syco already told me a long time ago, but I’d still love to hear it from you two. Also, about your friends that are on this ship. Who’s Mikrovos? Syco complained about him plenty.”

I felt the tension emanating from Saamuki. She is facing away from me, but I just know the mention of Mikrovos made her uncomfortable. Her vibe is making me uncomfortable, but Shiitakee hasn’t noticed. Our backstories must’ve distracted him from his worries, but I get a terrible feeling. So, I slide the dagger underneath my breastplate, grab Saamuki’s hand, and bolt towards the door. Shiitakee follows suit but asks what’s happening while he’s trying to catch up with us. Saamuki is questioning too. Both are answered when a hand to my left smashes through its wooden container. We’ve run past it, and I try not to look back around, but it’s Shiitakee’s cursing that gets me then Saamuki to glance back. An oozy, hairless, and eyeless body goes splat onto the metal floor. Their mouth opens, or what is supposed to be one does, as strands of skin have stuck parts of their lips together. They struggle to make a noise. They muster out a groan and begin crawling towards us. Their slime spreads around them and trails behind them as they slither closer to us. When we’re right about to exit through the door, they reach their hand towards us. I turn back around and force myself, with Saamuki still holding onto me, to sprint the distance left. Once the two of us then Shiitakee finally escape, I get out my blaster and shoot the door’s control panel. Whatever it is won’t be reaching us anytime soon. 

As the three of us try catching out breaths, Shiitakee comments, “Thanks for almost leaving me back there. A little warning next time, don’t you think, but what the hell was even that? Saamuki, I thought you said you didn’t see anyone in that room?”

“I-I didn’t. It must not have a soul.” I’m hit with another sense. I look away from them. My grip on Saamuki tightens. I’m standing stiff. “What’s wrong,” she asked me.

I respond to her, “Her.” On the other side of the hallway is a red-headed figure. Unlike the last time I saw her, she’s been fitted with gauntlets that stretch to her elbows. Like before, her eyes are dead.

“Who’s she?” Shiitakee finally looks to where Saamuki and I are looking. 

“Ashely,” I told him.
