The Prince

A bit of writing based on @aaytaro-gt ‘s Inktober prompt list.

Day 18 - Cuddle

==

Hashen had never expected to have the opportunity, or the privilege, to lounge with the royalty that lived in the castle his family had lived in for generations. His family was expected to keep pests out of the castle, and to tidy things up when they could, in return they were allowed to live there and borrow food.

It was a simple life, hunting rats and other pests across the home with his siblings, friends, and parents. He was on good enough terms with the bean servants that made up the castle’s staff, and could usually ask for minor assistance when he or his family required it.

But, two years ago, he’d actually encountered the young prince. 

There Hashen was, cornered by one of the largest rats he’d ever seen, his spear in hand and his body battered, cut up, and bruised. The rat had been a frustrating pest, and he thought he was going to die right then…

But then the rat was pierced by an arrow, killing it instantly.

Hashen could only stare as he had spotted the prince at the far end of the hall, bow in hand, smiling. The prince had ordered a servant to dispose of the rat, before picking Hashen up without a word, taking him to his family to be patched up.

It had been humiliating, in a way, but Hashen hadn’t thought of it that way. He’d been saved by a handsome prince, and his heart was torn as he tried to make sense of his feelings. 

In the end, he realized he was smitten with a giant.

A week later, now healed from the fight with the rat, he stole out into the sleeping castle, heading to the prince’s room. He’d found him awake, writing by candlelight at his desk, and he simply watched him for a time from behind the books stacked nearby. Finally, as the clock chimed midnight, he swallowed his heart and approached the prince.

The prince had known he was there. They spoke for a time, before bed called to them both. 

The past two years were a blur of change for Hashen and the prince, but he wouldn’t trade them for anything in the world.

Tonight the two of them lay out under the stars, Hashen laying on the prince’s chest, covered by his hand in an embrace while they named the constellations. They both loved a clear night like this, where the prince could sneak out under the cover of darkness with Hashen in his pocket, to just be alone in each other's company.

Just them and the stars.

[politirapporten]

Flere tip fra borgerne førte i går til, at flere betjente og en narkohund dukkede op ved to lejligheder i en gade i Holbæk by. Beboerne havde anmeldt, at der kom mange mennesker til og fra lejlighederne, og der var larm og mistanke om narkosalg og hashrygning. I den ene lejlighed traf lokalbetjentene en 37-årig mand, som sad og røg hash, da politiet bankede på. Lejligheden blev ransaget, og der blev fundet flere plader hash på i alt 250 gram og remedier til hashsalg. I en anden lejlighed i samme gade traf politiet en 32-årig mand, og da han åbnede sin dør. kom en kraftig lugt af hash patruljen i møde. De kunne i øvrigt se en mixerbakke til at blande hash i fra hvor de stod, så en fod blev sat i døren og stedet blev ransaget og gennemgået med narkohund. Her blev fundet 114 gram hash og flere tegn på, at der blev solgt hash fra adressen. Hashen blev beslaglagt og vil blive destrueret. De to mænd blev sigtet for at besidde hashen med henblik på at sælge det. Begge mænd nægtede at sælge hash. De kan begge forvente at høre mere fra politiet, når sagerne skal afgøres. Mens betjentene var i gaden kom flere store og små ansigter til syne i vinduerne i de andre lejligheder og gav betjentene en ”thumbs up” for deres indsats.

Guest Artist Q&A with STUDIO4degC

STUDIO4degC, a Tokyo-based animation studio, designed the cutscene animations for Doodle Champion Islands Games characters. They share their thoughts about the creation of this Doodle below:

Q. Could you describe your process of imagining and transforming each of the characters in the Doodle?

sorezore, Yuan "nooHua yaimeziwobesunishitauede, gemuniHe tsutaYao Su woPeng ramashiteikimashita.

First, we identified stories and folktales from all over the nation with characters that are widely recognized. Then, we connected those folktales and characters with each of the sport events that are part of the game. The design process involved each event's champion was chosen from those distinct stories. The team mascots as well as the characters from the city, like Kappa, Yatagarasu, lion dance, were also chosen as they are very well-known throughout Japan. The design of each character was based upon their original story image and then modified for the game.

Q. Q.

Lucky the Ninja Cat is a favorite because he's adorable and cool!

We're pleased that we could allude to various stories from Hokkaido in the north to Okinawa in the south in the Doodle. Besides taking inspiration from stories that are popular across Japan We also wanted to convey the diverse and rich natural beauty of the country, which includes underwater, sandy tropical beaches and forests, as well as snowy mountains.

Q. Do you have any favourite characters or sports from the Doodle?

Character The stone guardians. Servers list While they aren't always the most pleasant they are also charming and a great element to the final game's design. They are considered gatekeepers in Japanese culture It was therefore interesting to include them as guides in the game.

Table tennis! Although the combination of Tengu with table tennis isn't something you'd find in a fairytale We believe it was a fitting combination due to Tengu's swift movements and fan.

First, we hope that people take pleasure in the game and make it to the end! Also, we want to convey that by completing the mini games, Lucky brings happiness in the form of flowers and dangos...which will be a gift to all people in the world! Also, only Champions are aware of the amount of work Lucky worked. We want to show that happiness can come from the dedication and determination of each of us, which is often not appreciated by other people.

L and V (Part 1)

 A/N: Wow! I’m getting my life together? That’s new! :D

Tropes/Pairings: Analogical, background Royality (someday), hero x villain, soulmates AU (the one where if you draw on yourself, it shows up on your soulmate’s skin), and superpowers

Summary: Logan is oblivious, Virgil is nervous, and Patton is cooking in the background.

TW: Conspiracy theories, injury mention, ignoring messages. Let me know if there’s anything else.

Logan calmly sipped his green tea. He had wanted black coffee, but his assistant apparently thought that five cups a day was unhealthy. Which was ridiculous, if you asked Logan. He only drinks four cups a day. He bitterly cursed Remy, and if he was slightly less attached to them, he would have already fired them.

Logan skimmed the list of news articles on his phone before landing on the first article. He was a strong believer in best for last. And this. This certainly was always the highlight of his day. He read the headline: LOGIC AND ANXIETY ARE SOUL MATES in big capital letters. Logan smiled a little, remembered something about that being a conspiracy video on Youtube, and prepared himself for some scoffing. He read:

Logic and Anxiety have been rivals for some time now. Ever since the infamous Hashen Incident and the Edward jewelry store rob, Anxiety and Logic are personal enemies. The news has even based their super names after each other when Anxiety first started out. There’s no doubt in everybody’s mind that they hate each other. There’s also no doubt in anyone’s minds that soulmates love each other. Which leads us the the main point: could Logic and Anxiety be soul mates?

Logan rolled his eyes.

On the 13th, Logic and Anxiety were in yet another fight at the St. Claudia Park. Camera footage shows these two pictures:

Both were blurred photos of who yet are clearly Anxiety and him. Logan couldn't figure out why these were imperative to the theorist's argument.

Both are shots of the right sides of their faces. And if one looked clearly enough, one could notice that there was an identical dot on both of their faces.

He scribbled on his arm to his soul mate about the article.

Virgil's brother hummed in the kitchen.

V, L wrote. The people think Anxiety and I are soul mates.

Virgil's blood ran from his face as he shakily smiled like a child getting caught with his hand in the cookie jar. He had glimpsed the article online, and with the growing number of "coincidences" and "absurd conspiracy theories," L was bound to find out eventually.

Patton stopped humming. "Kiddo, you okay?"

"I'm fine, Pat."

Patton very obviously saw through the lie, but Virgil's brother was not one to pry.

Why did the fate even put the supers together? Virgil was what society championed as a "hero," and Logic was what society looked at in disgust, a "villain".

With slightly shaking hands, Virgil wrote back, I saw. Virgil and other objects in the room started to levitate.

“Kiddo?”

V? Are you okay? Logic wrote.

No use lying, Virgil figured. Logic would see straight through it. He grabbed the nearest skin safe marker and wrote.

I'm just a little injured.

Why? How? L asked. Virgil could hear the unasked question.

And then Virgil stopped writing back.

When built, the core used to power him was stronger than expected, giving him an internal source of magic that he was able to use to do more… although it is unpredictable.”

Pochettino man-flow sluggishness...the theory of Bilbao's appointment

Former Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino received the lowest dividend rate of 1/4 times in the dividend rate for the next Manchester United manager, which was set by British betting company 다파벳 슬롯BET365 as of the 11th (Korea time). Former Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri will be followed by Southampton by five times and Ralph Hashen Whitel by 18 times.

Manchester United's board members have already met with Pochettino, and there have been reports that Pochettino is interested in coaching Manchester United.However, 다파벳 카지노"Official" has not been released. The result of the Everton match was to decide the course of manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, but Manchester United won 3-1. After that, A-match break. There is no justification for replacing the director right now. In an interview with Sky Sports, Pochettino said, "I want to go back to the scene as soon as possible,"사다리 재테크 which is not good for the director who is itching.Pochettino has been linked to other teams for his slow selection of coaches. The British Daily Mail reported on the 11th (Korea time) that Pochettino could return as coach of Athletic Bilbao.Athletic Bilbao is ranked 14th in the Primera Liga with nine points (3 wins and 5 losses) 넥스트벳 리뷰in eight games.According to Football Espanya, Gaze is under pressure from Garitano, and Pochettino, former Barcelona coach Hernesto Valverde, and former Valencia coach Marcelino Garcia Toral are mentioned as candidates.Pochettino is also known as a fan of Athletic, as he said, "I respect everything about Athletic."The Daily Mirror pointed out, "The appointment of Athletic is a stumbling block to Pochettino's demand for annual salary and the interest of other clubs."Pochettino, who played 216 games for Aspenol when he was a player, began his coaching 피나클 가입career when he took the helm of Espanyol in January 2009.Pochettino drew attention by raising the team from 20th place to 11th place in his first year in office, and moved up to 8th place in the 2010-11 season. However, he resigned voluntarily early in the 2012-13 season, taking responsibility for his poor performance.

[politirapporten]

Tirsdag eftermiddag kl. 17.28 gik en patrulje i Ladegårdsparken, da betjentene bemærkede noget mistænkeligt. En gruppe unge mænd stod ved en bil, og tæt ved sad en ung fyr og fiflede med noget. Ved synet af politiet stak den unge fyr af fra stedet, men blev hurtigt indhentet og tilbageholdt. Den 16-årige unge mand fra København havde intet ulovligt på sig, men ved hegnet hvor den 16-årige havde siddet fandt betjentene en klump hash. Den blev senere kontrolvejet til 16,39 gram, som den 16-årige blev sigtet for at besidde. De øvrige antrufne på stedet, alle yngre lokale mænd, blev ikke fundet i besiddelse af noget ulovligt. Hashen blev beslaglagt og vil blive destrueret. Den 16-åriges forældre og de sociale myndigheder vil blive orienteret om sagen, hvor den 16-årige kan forvente en bøde i sagen.

El atacante de Manchester se radicalizó en el Reino Unido en el 2015

Reino Unido-. El atacante suicida que hizo explotar una bomba que acabó con la vida de 22 personas en un concierto de la cantante estadounidense Ariana Grande en Manchester el mes pasado se radicalizó en el año 2015 en el Reino Unido, según contó su hermano a investigadores libios de un organismo anterrorismo en Tripoli. 

Hashem, hermano de Salman Abedi, dijo al portavoz de la Fuerza Especial de Disuasión de Tripoli (Rada), Ahmed Bin Salem, que el atacante había comprado equipamiento empleado en el atentado en el propio Reino Unido y añadió que no sabía dónde lo llevaría a cabo.

 Rada es una fuerza contraterrorista alineada con el Gobierno y respaldado por las Naciones Unidas en Tripoli, que detuvo al padre de Salman Abedi, Ramadan, y a su hermano Hashem, en los días siguientes al ataque del 22 de mayo y los han estado interrogando junto a otros miembros del núcleo familiar.

“Hashem manifestó que él y Salman incorporaron la ideología de Desh (Estado Islámico) en Manchester en 2015 por medio de internet y algunos amigos en Reino Unido. Agregó que solían ver videos y que tenían simpatía por los niños en Siria y desearían hacer algo por ISIS para ayudar”, sostuvo Bin Salem. 

Salman y Hashem viajaron a Libia el 18 de abril, de acuerdo con el portavoz de Rada. Salman volvió a Manchester casi una semana antes del ataque, después de decirle a sus padres que iba a peregrinar a La Meca.

“Hashem comentó que compró todas las cosas necesarias para Salman para el ataque desde Reino Unido y reiteró que Salman estaba planeando llevar acabo un ataque pero que él no sabía dónde”, detalló Bin Salem. 

El hermano también narró que Salman Abedi llamó por teléfono el 15 de mayo a Tripoli para “decir adiós a su familia antes de perpetrar el ataque”. “Salman llamó al teléfono de Hashen el día del atentado para conversar con su familia. Su madre se negó a hablarle porque estaba molesta con él por haber mentido”, explicó el portavoz.

El ataque suicida con bomba ocasionó la muerte de 22 niños y adultos que asistieron a un concierto de la cantante estadounidense Ariana Grande. Un total de 21 personas han sido arrestadas hasta el momento en el marco de la investigación. 12 fueron liberas y nueve continúan presas.

L and V (Part 9)

A/N: oof where did my motivation go? also, there may or may not be foreshadowing in this chapter

Tropes/Pairings: Analogical, background Royality, hero x villain, soulmates AU (the one where if you draw on yourself, it shows up on your soulmate’s skin), and superpowers

Summary: Corbin informs Virgil of the new conspiracy theories surrounding Anxiety and Logic, and Virgil has to face the consequences the next day. Fortunately, the next day isn’t a field day. Unfortunately, he still has to face the agency bully and his assistant.

TW: This one guy who’s pretty much a stereotypical school bully, a fight, dread, a ““dark side”” but this is a human!au

Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7, Part 8

Virgil sleepily stumbled into the kitchen the next day. After the fight with the A-team and Logan’s announcement, he had collapsed in exhaustion as soon as he caught sight of his bed. He had slept peacefully, for the first time in a long while.

“Hey, kiddo,” Patton greeted Virgil as he cooked some pancakes.

Virgil slowly made himself some coffee and become aware than your average zombie. As he nursed a cup of warm coffee, he cherished his day off, though off days were usually after a tough battle. After a long sip of caffeine, Virgil replied, “Hey, Pat.”

Patton flipped a pancake sloppily. “You have a day off?”

“Yeah, you?” Virgil nonchalantly took another swig.

“Yep!” Patton chirped. “I’m going to spend the day with Daphne.”

Virgil squinted in thought. “Isn’t she that crazy woman you met at the library?”

“Kiddo,” the elder scolded, setting the pancake onto a plate before turning to look disapprovingly at Virgil. “She isn’t crazy. Far from it! She’s a genius! She showed me this really good book!”

Virgil nodded slowly. “That sounds fake but okay.” He drank some more coffee. He casually turned his phone on to check Tumblr, but he was bombarded with a bunch of texts from Corbin.

Corbin: THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

Corbin: CODE ORANGE!

Corbin sent a link.

Corbin: COME OVER TO THE St. CLAUDIA PARK!

Corbin: Pick up!!

Corbin: Look at the news!!!

Corbin: Did you see the news?!

“What the heck?” Virgil wondered aloud. To start, Code Orange, if he remembered correctly, was a scandal or an information leak of some sort. He quickly typed in the password to his phone and pressed the link Corbin had sent him.

Logic and Anxiety: Dating Confirmed?!

The picture below it was a slightly blurry photo of Virgil and Logan making out the day before.

Virgil’s face was drained of blood. There. He was done. His hero reputation was ruined by this scandal. A hero soul mates with a villain? He was surely going to be treated as a traitor within his agency. And outside his agency, things would be worse. People would shoot him dirty looks in the streets and outright harass him. He was ruined, like how Hamilton when he had published the Reynolds Pamphlet.

How would Virgil pay his bills if he wasn’t a hero? He supposed he could get a different job, but he had dropped out of college to become a full time hero. Virgil would have to freeload off of Patton, but he didn’t want to strain Patton’s finances, especially if Patton suffers the consequences of the scandal, too. Patton had a higher position in the agency, if Patton’s bank account was anything to go by.

And L? Villainy was his job, it was how he kept food on the table. He would get treated as a traitor, too. His own friends would probably turn their backs to him. Virgil scrolled through the news, heart sinking when he realized that the pictures were all over the news. On social media, both villain and hero agencies worked hard to get them off the Internet or to loudly dismiss it as photoshop. Half other people on the Internet thought it was just as “fake” as the proofs of Anxiety and Logic being soul mates.

Corbin: When are you going to get your BUTT over to St. Claudia’s Park?! I’m freezing! And I know you’ve read my texts!

Corbin. Could Corbin fix it? Virgil hoped so. Corbin could fix a lot of things. Corbin fixed his cracked pot once, and Virgil still had no idea how.

Corbin: Virgil! Don’t ignore me!

On second thought, maybe Corbin couldn’t fix his way out of a paper bag, but he could sure as heck order others to. Virgil slipped his phone into his pocket and flew out the door to go to the park.

Reluctantly, Virgil went to work the next day with a pit in his stomach. Some other superheroes shot him murderous glances and others shot him pitying ones. It was a paperwork day, not one in the field, to which Virgil was thankful for. He didn’t think he could handle all of the taunts of villains and the heavy suspicion citizens. He worked quietly at his desk, thanking the universe that he had a private office. His assistant, Imani, typed furiously in a separate desk a few feet away from him. Imani sniffled as she filled out the forms. For the sake of not having awkward silence, Virgil played some classical music from his computer.

“So,” Virgil said, breaking the silence for first time in the hour they had been working silently. He drummed his fingers on the wooden desk, trying to manage a way to get words past his lips without sounding like a fool. “Have you, uh, seen the news recently?”

Imani looked up but kept typing. “Yes, I have!” she said in her British accent. She grinned. “I read the article on the dog and the rabbit becoming friends!”

Virgil stared at Imani in disbelief. “…So you don’t know about the Code Orange?”

Imani’s grin wavered and her eyes seemed lifeless for once. “I do know about that.” She stopped typing. Her smile dropped. “Is it true?”

Virgil ran a hand through his hair. “Yeah,” he sighed.

“Goodness!” she gasped. Imani stood up and slammed her hands onto her desk. “How could you do that? Logic? I didn’t believe all those rumors, but this…this…”

Virgil sank further into his chair and hid his face in his sweater. “I-I-I’m sorry…”

Imani teared up and sniffled. “I’m afraid ‘sorry’ doesn’t cut it. Logic almost put my family business out of business!”

Virgil squinted and wondered if this was going where he thought it was going. “…What’s your family business?” he asked hesitantly.

“Family Hashen Bakery,” Imani sniveled. Virgil handed her a tissue, which she took gratefully. “We think someone broke into it sometime ago.” She aggressively blew her nose.

Virgil winced and guilt ate at his heavy heart. “Oh…”

After a few minutes of Virgil passing tissues to her, Imani calmed down a little with only some sniffles. “Virgil, I know you’re a good person, but Logic…Logic isn’t.”

“I know,” Virgil admitted. “I think the universe made a mistake.”

“Virgil, this is the plot of a million books,” Imani said as-a-matter-of-factly as she could when wiping tears from her face. “The universe doesn’t make mistakes.” She and Virgil solemnly locked eyes. “I hope that’s true.” Then she sat down and continued typing almost as if nothing had ever happened. Virgil stared at her, surprised to see how easily she had slipped back into work. After a few minutes, Virgil sat back down, too, and filled out more paperwork.

The two sat in tense silence, except for the music Virgil still played. He had turned it a little louder, to cut the tension. An hour later, Virgil stood up. “I’m going to take a break,” Virgil muttered at Imani. He watched her for a reaction, permission, something.

She looked up. “Then take one,” she said professionally, almost coldly.

He shuddered at her warmthless voice and opened the door. The hallway was suddenly a lot more inviting than his office, and most other heroes didn’t give him any more trouble other than glares. He made his way to the first floor. He was almost at the vending machine to get his usual granola bar when he was stopped by a thick hand on his shoulder.

“Well, Anxiety, so good to see you,” a man boomed high above Virgil’s head.

Virgil silently cursed his luck. Why did it have to be Chad, of all people? He was very much a jerk, and he only got through the ranks of the agency because of nepotism. At least, that was what everyone thought. Virgil had seen Chad fight, and he was afraid of Chad. He was the stereotypical jock of the agency, which was saying a lot.

“Hi, Chad,” Virgil said. He tried to walk away, but Chad’s hand kept him firmly in place. He wondered why Chad of all people had to have super strength, but that’s how the universe went. Virgil had heard Chad’s soul mate’s power was to weaken others. Balance, Virgil supposed.

Chad’s grip on Virgil tightened, bringing Virgil out of thought. “I heard about the Code Orange,” he said. Some heroes started to take notice of the scrawny 21-year-old and the jacked 30 something by the vending machine.

Now, Virgil knew he was lucky to be at his polite, well-mannered agency, but that didn’t mean that fights between heroes still didn’t happen. He had heard about an argument that escalated into a full-on brawl, but the heroes had telekinesis and pyrokinesis, so naturally, the fight was destructive.

“I see,” Virgil said politely.

“Are you soul mates with Logic?”

Virgil winced at Chad’s fingernails digging into his shoulder, and he was sure that Chad was using his power. He needed to defuse the situation before it turned into a fight, but if he wanted to not cause a scene, he had to stall for time. He subtly started to adjust the gravity around them.

“What?” Virgil asked innocently. In his peripheral vision, he saw a figure in black and grey. He hoped that was who he thought it was. “Yeah, I thought it was obvious by now.” Virgil heard some dramatic gasps the shouts of his colleagues, and perhaps the exasperated sigh of some after Dot fainted. Again.

“You’re not going to betray the heroes for that scum, are you?” Chad spat.

“No,” Virgil said as calmly as he could. The black and grey outline started to come closer, and Virgil’s and Chad’s feet were almost off of the ground.

After that happened, Virgil would have the advantage. Chad would have to float aimlessly about. And if he wanted to go anywhere, let alone fight, he would have to push himself. Considering Chad’s power, that would be very destructive, and with all of the precious or dangerous items in the building, even Chad’s father wouldn’t be able to pay that amount of money. All of this banked on whether or not Chad could figure this out, and Chad wasn’t the brightest crayon in the box. That’s where they came in.

“No,” Virgil repeated a little louder. “Really the opposite!” With that, they shot off of the floor, and Virgil was once again thankful for the high ceilings and the interior balconies of other floors. Before Chad could do anything, Virgil wiggled out of his grasp and dropped himself off at the second floor.

“Hey!” Chad roared and tried to sprint after Virgil but he propelled himself upside down.

“Chad, don’t!” Elliot yelled from the ground.

Chad grumbled loudly, but he knew he couldn’t do anything. Elliot was 90% of Chad’s impulse control.

With light feet, Virgil sprinted down the halls into his office. He almost ran past his door. He quickly opened his office, shut the door behind him, and locked it with his keys. He trembled with nerves and panted from exhaustion.

Imani quickly sat up straight. “What happened?” she said, shocked.

“Everything,” Virgil gasped in between puffs. “But more precisely, Chad.”

Envy looked around the dark and dirty street around him. A few shady people milled about the place as Envy looked down at the piece of paper in his hand. He entered into Killer Koffee warily and looked around at the black sofas with suspiciously red splatters. “Hello,” he greeted the grumpy barista. He pretended to squint at the menu as if he wasn’t already instructed on what drink to get. “I would like a mocha with whip cream, extra sugar, and hold the milk.”

The barista raised an eyebrow. “Who is it for?”

Envy smiled. “Phthonus.”

“Well then,” the barista said, “right this way, sir.” She led him into the back of the store, where only employees could enter. The employee led the villain into a broom closet and shut the door behind Envy, almost nipping his heels.

“Code word?” a man chirped in a dreadfully cheerful manner. Envy could almost see the spy’s glasses highlighted in the dark closet and shivered. People like the spy in front of him always intimidated him.

“Confucius,” Envy answered. “Now, what’s the info?”
