Martin and Brahms would probably get along. Probably.

Honestly, I feel that! The both of em are used to lurking in the shadows. Observing their sp through a lens of insecurities.

I honestly feel that Martin would be good at keeping some of Brahms' temper flare up's in check. When he gets stressed out about Gretta. Why she isn't behaving in the way he wants... "Is she ignoring me?! You cannot ignore Brahms! You just can't!"

Martin comes through!

"People are never calm when they're angry."

Matin is definitely the more rational of the two... and a firm supporter of his friend. He wants to see Brahms venture out and personally take on what he wants. But on the other hand, he can completely understand the hesitation. Sticking to all that's known.

I can see a reoccuring theme already bubbling here of Martin talking Brahms through a manic episode. Whether dealing with Gretta or some small insignificant slight.

Martin serves as the voice of reason. Brahms is just a really reliable friend. He never judges Martin's lifestyle, and if anything he's somehow intrigued. All the stories about traveling the streets of Braddock. Sticking close to the shadows. Brahms really hopes to be able to venture out himself one day.

this is just a little short story i wrote about a favorite vampire guy of mine :) this was originally supposed to follow more of novel martin's character, but....it didn't really go as planned. this is like 4k+ words so fair warning.

WARNINGS! coded perverted old man to young woman (very brief), creep martin, fem! reader (originally supposed to be gender neutral but then it steered to fem, so sorry about that!), lots of use of staring at the back of your head, mediocre writing, shit dialogue, ooc martin

edit: let's not talk about the change of season (from winter to fall). just...ignore that please.

The streets of Braddock stood scarce in the wintry night, soft, thick blankets of snow piled on top of rooftops and deserted sidewalks as if Christmas draped over the town in a wooly white duvet. Trees stood barren within the perpetual pastures of ivory, icicles dangling from the naked branches like blades draping off a shelf. Dumptrucks took over the region like keepers patrolling a royal palace that held a family of monarchs and rulers, goddesses and princes, all bathing in golds and riches. But instead of pools of gems and jewels, dust sufficed the area and soot made a home within the various crevices of the stone. Marveling over the dingy expanse around you, you felt a drop of bitterness collide with you, little by little until it morphed into a cascade. The soles of your shoes trampled on diminutive stones and laid out twigs, fracturing each aspect in half like lead. You couldn't help but cringe at the reverberating racket; it was too quiet to make noise at this late hour, but you had important places to be.

Picking up the pace, your slow jogging melded into an Olympics-like run. Left and right all you saw were shrouds of milky white, and it only reminded you of your current position; running late to a job interview. Although not unforgivably, the bustling image of getting stuck on a train filled to the brim with residents preserved in your mind and left a sour taste in your mouth. Yet, there wasn't much self-blame reserved inside your heart. Your career as a starving artist in the '70s wasn't easy cash, believe it or not. It was sapping up your energy, days and nights forked out on a single canvas you'll hardly sell for a couple of bucks. It didn't only starve you of food, but also the necessity to sleep. With that being said, this whole issue of promptly getting out the door stood as the idiotic consequence of ultimately being able to obtain some shuteye the other night, driving you late for an important meeting that might just save your currency. If it weren't for your maddening alarm clock, you'd likely be facing the gates of hell. You could already visualize the look of pure dissatisfaction on the authority's countenance, sewed on like a scowl and aimed directly at you like knives. Shivers ran up your spine at the thought.

Your eyes frequently traced back and forth towards your wristwatch, studying the time every five minutes to make sure you wouldn't miss your ride. The little hand seemed to taunt you with every step you took, the prospering paranoia that you'll reach the train station a minute late prowling over you. With every ounce of stamina in your bones, you ran as fast as you could to achieve the risk at hand. Tick-tock. Tick-tock. The grating reminder pounded in your ears like volleyballs ricocheting off the pavement. A cool breeze abruptly dropped in and took the drudgery to add to your list of troubles, fouling up your frizzy hair and blocking your eyesight. Having to halt your momentum, you hurled the tide of hair out of your face and spat out any loose strands raiding the innards of your mouth, groaning in aggravation and repugnance. 'Splendid, just splendid.'

Letting off with a sigh, you continued to march your way towards the desired train station, hastily looking back at your watch and detecting you only have a few minutes left until your train departed. Without another interruption, you ran all the way to the depot, hoping with every bit of strength you had that you'd get there in time.

─

As the trees danced with the wind and the fall leaves scattered on the pavement like mice, you watched in dismay as your train carried in the last of the luggage from the final person to board. 'No, no, no, no!' But no matter how loud you yelled at yourself to shift and make your department, you knew it was no use the moment the conductor latched the aisle doors and blew his whistle like a banshee. By then, smoke was already surging through the chimney and the wheels were hot on the rails, clicking and clacking until your vision only consisted of what looked like old film tangled together into a running slide show where one photograph barely lingered for a second, before the next polaroid made an entrance. It stayed like that til there was no more of the steaming railcar, and the railways sat empty where you stood.

"Fuck, not again..." you slumped your head low in defeat, the weight of the circumstances sinking in on you and driving the soles on your shoes to slip up on the ashy platform, your knees buckling. Tears of frustration were imperiled to leak from your eyes, but you held them back, picking back up your head and skimming the station. You acknowledged an old man, mid-70s perhaps, standing near the perimeter of the scaffold, wearing a conductor's uniform and an old trolley hat. He appeared to be doing nothing crucial at the minute, so you took that as some kind of cue for help and didn't waste another second, ambling in his direction.

"Excuse me, sir? Sir?" your pitched voice cracked the stillness of the ambiance and appeared to unduly shatter the man's trans, his figure jumping in a startled fright. Nevertheless, the male didn't come off appalled when he caught your head-tilted pose. With a gruff cough, he quickly readjusted the glasses perched upon the bridge of his nose and spoke in a hoarse voice; "May I help you?" He trailed your figure up and down and you almost grimaced. Regardless, you kept a stoic facade and a courteous tone. "Can you tell me where the next train leads to?" Your words came out low and smooth, cautious not to shout at his face merely to be passed a prohibition. It took a minute or two for the old geezer to eventually materialize a response, wrinkles expanding in size the wider he opened his jaws; "Uh, I believe the next ride stops in Munhall, but it won't get here until midnight at the earliest." Voice equally as hoarse as last time. You slightly cringed at his response, briefly glancing around the station before exhaling a soft sigh. "At least it's Munhall...Thank you for your time." You responded, the first half spoken in a faded whisper.

"Why of course, anything for a lovely young lady." His smile feigned innocence, but the stare in his inky swarthy eyes told you another tale. Lending a brisk archaic smile, you twisted your head away from the man and stuck your tongue out in disgust, quickly walking away from the trolley hat wielder and claiming a spot on one of the sorted-out benches. The October air was cool and cast an icy breeze, making you quiver as if the wind stole your essence. Curse words stood on the edge of your tongue as you examined your attire. A raven plaid skirt that barely reached your knees topped with a basic white blouse, and polished (although heavily roughed up) red heels adorning your feet. So insistent on getting out the door as quickly as possible, you completely forgot to bring a long overcoat to keep you bundled up from the harsh weather. And with the fact you missed your train anyway, you were even more peeved.

So much for speed.

Releasing the millionth sigh that night, you watched as red, yellow, and orange leaves scraped against the turf before being abruptly stripped away by the wind. Dying and already dead trees stood within your vision, as loose strands of your hair knotted themselves, intertwining each other. The clock snagged snugly on your wrist ticked like a speeding parade, the noise eventually beginning to sound like nails on a chalkboard. You already had a gift for thin forbearance, but it felt like it was being sawed into a slim sheer segment of scrap, and was seconds away from snapping entirely. You craned your neck back until it brushed the crown of the bench, just to have the 'pop!' sound damper the upcoming 'tick'. Rolling your head as well, your eyes stood shut before you heard the sound of something heavy plop down on the vacant space next to you, following after the rasp of the bench like someone arranged their whole weight onto it.

Veering your head towards the source of the intrusion, your eyes were met with tresses of dark brown hair, equally brown eyes, and the fairest cloth of skin you've ever seen. You could define it as a man not under the age of seventeen nor over the age of twenty. He wore a solemn look on his face as if he had just come back from a dispiriting phone call or a long yelling session with his boss. Whatever the case may be, (could've also been just his face), he resembled a flower with scarcely enough petals to encompass him, leaving him to be less desirable to the naked eye. Thereupon further scrutinizing, you didn't pay much heed afterward to the sudden male that chose to sit next to you and not the other empty bench four feet away, endorsing to fiddle with your fingers instead. But even as you observed your hands fidgeting with each other, you couldn't put back the underwhelming feeling of someone's eyes burning holes into the back of your skull. Letting your novelty get the best of you, you turned around to come across the same dark brown eyes staring right at you, until they swiftly broke the brief eye contact.

'Was he staring at me?'

Now double crept out, you eventually looked away from the male and deliberately tried to disregard the burning, licking feeling of gapes boring into you like waves crashing on the sand. Yet, as mentioned, you carried very slim patience, and your deceitful ignorance eventually ran out, like thorns finally emerging on a plant's stalk that once looked as innocuous as a leaf. Snapping your head back toward the male next to you, you were sharp enough to startle him in his seat and speak words dripping with aggravation. "Could you stop that!" each syllabus panning out gradually and ostensibly. This resulted in a blank stare from the brunette, never blinking as if he had just witnessed a phantom. "Please..." you meekly added, playing the polite cards down so that it would perhaps drive him to stop looking at you so oddly, possibly even get up from his seat and sit at the next bench over. However, it didn't. He kept on staring, and if you weren't already troubled by the earlier route of events, you certainly were now.

Your brows furrowed in annoyance and even distress at the calling moment, no sign of remission or in-attentiveness clear on your face. Not a single word broke from the youngster, utter silence prevailed over the imaginable barrier stuck between you two. A hefty 'huff' fled your lips before you turned your head away for the second time. Somewhere in the back of your mind, you were hoping to keep it that way. But, suddenly, soft words crawled up the border and anchored in your ear with a feeble 'thud'. In fact, they were so softly spoken you'd believe you wouldn't have heard him if a gust of wind flew by. "Sorry. I...didn't mean to stare." He said it with such caution that you almost began to feel bad for snapping. Almost. Smoothing out the wrinkles rippling on your skirt, you let out a hushed sigh before allowing your [e/c] eyes to meet his. "It's nothing, don't worry about it. But keep in mind it's rude, kid." You responded with vigor, not aware of how the male subtly flinched at the word "kid" and the honeydew in his eyes grew darker.

But as quick as it came, it was gone the moment you ceased your flattening movements and straightened out your back.

A gauche stillness befell the two of you. Now that you've spoken to each other and ended it on such short notice, you felt as if you should keep the conversation running. The pang of guilt was beginning to rub on you more as his silk-like voice replayed in your mind like a broken record. He sounded so fragile, just a teenage boy not yet figuring out what he's gonna do with his life. At least he struck you as a teenager, maybe about nineteen. You began to grind on your lip subconsciously, grasping the fabric of your plaid skirt and bunching it up into a ball, holding it in the root of your palm. Without even meaning to this time, your eyes traced over his lower figure and took notes on his apparel. A taupe overcoat and a multi-colored striped shirt appeared to carry a gray-tinted palette. A pair of navy blue bell bottoms covered up the figure of his legs and to finish it off a pair of tattered Converse. Just by reckoning with his attire, he seemed like any regular person waiting for their train to arrive.

Oh, you were so wrong.

─

Martin had an eye out for prey, casually steering his honey-browns around a store, a parking lot, or even a flickering street simply to find what he needed. Insanity taking over his headspace while he allows himself to pick innocent individuals one by one until he laid sights on someone worthy to cease his urges. When the time was right, he would strike and claim his feed like the filthy predator he was. However, playing the role as the snarling unsightly beast was heinous, not "cool" or "thrilling" like the movies depict it to be. The feel of his fingertips and body getting shakier as he attempted his best to not drop his syringe was a tedious task that came along with it. Having to stalk his prey for some time just to be able to get to know their daily routine, where they live, and what they're like as a person was never his favorite part-time. It was boring and violating. Regardless he didn't have a choice, no matter how disgusted he may feel sometimes after the deed is over and done with. Martin wished he was never like this, never had the deviant craving for human blood. It was the sickness, he'd constantly remind himself. But even then that was no good of an excuse for all the further, malicious things he has done to people. Women, to be exact.

─

The boy glazed his eyes over your structure, discreetly admiring how...pretty you looked at the moment. (Yeah, he was a bit pissed off at you for calling him "kid", but that was such a small thing to get irritated at.) Disheveled hair seems to tip-tap dance across your face as you swatted the loose strands away like they were swarming bees. You weren't as fetching as a lot of girls he catches just absentmindedly walking down the street, sure, but those women were boring pretty. You were some kind of unique pretty. Like a silver ballerina mixed into a crowd of pink ones. Or that one piece of tableware with fair carvings left in a bundle of dull silverware. Martin noticed the way you fidgeted with your hands, the way your eyes crossed him shortly before piloting away; one of the perks of being a hunter he imagined. It almost looked as if you were building up the courage to speak to him, but he could never foresee you frankly desiring to immerse in small talk after the not-so-polite exchange you both had.

Over the last few days of continuously visiting you, acknowledging your presence withal you seemed to never acknowledge his, Martin's picked up a few small, meager traits of yours. Traits that added vitality and personality to your portrait, keeping it from being dull and ineligible. He noticed the habits you hoisted; collecting remote horror film video tapes to watch at home, and the fact you have a knack for constructing beautiful painted sculptures and leaving them out on display in the indifferent public. The thought of coming up to you and buying one of your artworks slipped inside his head more than once, but he knew he couldn't. However, where he sits right now, precisely next to you, knowing you have finally acknowledged his existence, left him squirming in his seat. From what he knows, you were not one to engage with a stranger, forbid someone that left a bad note, so that made him wonder what was making you so flustered. Why did you look so anxious at the moment? The curiosity was dining on him from the inside.

─

It was still for quite some time before you eventually grew sick of the silent ambiance. The creeping guilt crawling all over your skin was beginning to become too much to bear. So you finally took up the risk of opening up your mouth. "Where are you headed to?" It was a simple question, a harmless conversation starter, one that you hoped was profitable enough for the strange brunette to look up at you and answer honestly. Or not, he could lie if he wanted to, you weren't one to stop him and frankly couldn't care what response he would give you, truthful or not. You just needed the eight little legs of shame to get off of you. Thankfully, it did lift his chin a bit to where his eyes were now making contact with yours. He examined you quizzically as if he wasn't sure you actually uttered to him in a none bitter and biting manner. Yet, once he was certain you did with a tiny reassuring node from you, he answered; "Pittsburgh." It came out in a feeble puddle of words, just as softly spoken as the last, but you caught it anyway.

"Pittsburgh? I heard that's a glamorous-looking city, I was thinking of visiting it sometime myself when I finally have the chance and money." A resonating laugh coursed toward the end of your sentence, knowing damn well you'll never get the money for that sort of experience. That attribute was transparent to Martin, however. All he heard was a smooth buttery laugh coming from your lips by something you had said. Whatever it was, it wasn't comical, but the sound of your laughter made the corners of his own lips grow nonetheless. Once your laughter died down, you recognized the way it came out so aimlessly and the boy next to you had no idea why you were flaring out in fits. You felt embarrassment surge through you in large stakes. "S-sorry, I didn't mean to laugh. Pardon my confusing antics..." You began apologizing for your rude mannerisms, stuttering some, until you ended up trailing off your sentence out and realizing you have yet to retrieve the male's name. "I'm so sorry, but I haven't quite caught your name?" An eyebrow quirked on your complexion, as you patiently waited for him to give his name out.

Martin took a moment to process the inquiry, too immersed in the sound of your voice as he subtly grew envious of how soothing and...pretty it was. To be frank, he's always been fairly jealous of your euphonious voice; having already heard it more than enough. "Martin," He finally said, "and it's okay. I didn't mind hearing you laugh. I- I actually quite liked it. I like a lot of things about you." Now it was his turn to feel large spurts of embarrassment, a bright red growing on his pale countenance till it reached the tip of his ears. His eyes raced to you and all he was greeted with was a nuanced uncomfortable look on your face, and suddenly felt the warmth radiating off of you nearing further and further away as he took note that you were adding some more leeway between the two of you. Martin's chest swelled as an undergrowth of bitterness began to boil beneath his gut. You were scooting away from him, rightfully so, and he knew that, but you were scooting away from him. Not a fraction of his heart, soul, and mind appreciated that. Pins and needles poked and prodded at him as the wavering guilt increased and rubbed salt on his wounds, jabbing harsher and harsher until he felt like he was on the border of bursting into flames.

Oh for god's sake, why is he behaving so obsessively? The kind of fixation he feels towards the nameless women he targets exclusively for their blood is different. Like the kind of different where he picks up a bittersweet coffee and sticks his tongue out as the liquid scorned his palette, yet you're the warm, sweet honey that smoothly flows down his throat, the residue keeping him content. But why? Why does he have this burning desire to just envelop you in his arms and never let go? Martin felt he didn't want you solely for your blood, but for you.

A sense of apprehension rippled through you as the boy (you know now as "Martin") stared at you with an illegible gaze. You were right back at square one, letting the cool drift run past you in strides, and feeling the searing sensation of eyes at the back of your head. The redeemable guilt from earlier was beginning to fade away, but not thoroughly as you made an effort to alleviate yourself deep inside. He was just trying to compliment you, that's all. You honestly felt relatively flattered. It was just the way he chose to conclude it that put you on edge. It sounded...almost stalkerish, but you tried to put that creeping thought behind you. "Oh-, well, thank you. That's...That's very kind of you." You forced a grin at him, straining to give him false consolation. All he did in response was lend a tiny nod, his eyes not once leaving yours. A shudder drove up your spine at the indirect contact, the sense of alarm ascending and the loud banging at your head comprising. "Get out of there!" cried loudly in the back of your skull, forming cracks within the bone and rendering a terrible headache to shape.

'God...what time is it...'

As if the gods from up above heard your plea, the sound of wheels clanging on rails penetrated your senses and the scent of smoke and iron invaded your nose. You would've never considered the smell of smoke or iron comforting until now. Momentarily after the cues of the next train arriving, the large caravan came into sight, steam pouring from the chimney and replenishing the station. The aisle doors unlocked and people shortly crammed the depot with their bags and luggage. You didn't waste a second getting up from your seat the moment fewer and fewer visitors and residents stood in the area. The yelling of the conductors instructed the next baggage of people on what to do briefly after. You hung on every word until the conductors wrapped it up, letting you turn around and set your eyes on the spot Martin poised at.

"Well thank you for your company, I greatly apprec─" However, before you could even finish, your brain processed the sight in front of you; the young brunette, nowhere to be seen, and all that sat was a vacant bench. You scanned over the entire depot, wondering if he was anywhere nearby, yet finding no tresses of brown hair or blanched skin. It was like he evaporated into a haze, his body merging into a puddle of smoke before no traces of evidence fled behind. "Huh..." was all you managed to say at the odd fruition. Settling to not ponder on it anymore, you quickly stepped foot into your department with your bag in hand. This time, not discerning an ounce of the gloaming pools of madness staring at you with enviable bloodlust between the bushes, waiting for the next opportunity to make an entrance.

took me a whole 2 months to finish this, but I finally achieved it. constructive criticism is greatly appreciated :) ty for taking the time to read, I hope this looks a little better in your eyes than it does in mine lol. -cora

Adam Stephen was a Scottish-born doctor and military officer,  died on July 16th 1791.

There are no details of when or where Adam was born, but we do know he  earned a degree at King’s College in Aberdeen, and studied medicine in Edinburgh. He then entered Royal Navy service on a hospital ship before emigrating to the U.S  in the late 1730s or early 1740s. There he established a medical practice in Fredericksburg Virginia 

He entered the provincial militia in 1754, and became lieutenant colonel of the Virginia Regiment Second in command under George Washington. That year he participated in Washington’s expedition that climaxed with the Battle of Jumonville Glen and the Battle of Fort Necessity, the opening battles of the French and Indian War. He continued to serve with the regiment and was involved in the disastrous Braddock Expedition of 1755 and other expeditions.  When the war ended in 1763, he took over command of the regiment from Washington, and assisted in putting down Pontiac’s Rebellion.

He returned to his home in Virginia, and is said to have laid out the plan for Martinsburg in what is now West Virginia in 1778. He named it after a friend, Colonel Thomas Bryan Martin, and became the sheriff of Berkeley County, of which Martinsburg became the county seat. In later years he was joined there by Generals Horatio Gates and Charles Lee, who both purchased property in the county. In 1788 he was elected to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, which ratified the Constitution of the United States.

introducing: Otto!

Braddock's starving artist

fresh out of nonspecific rural Ohio and into the hilly Pennsylvanian suburbs, he's just trying to get by however he can manage in his newfound independence. aside from his work on the amusement park cleaning crew, he finds himself picking up the occasional odd job to stay afloat, struggling to make something of himself as the artwork in his apartment forever remains unsold.

some likes: Peanuts comics, dressing against his own best judgment, the occult, taxidermy, horror, theatre, siamese cats, bike rides, flea markets, homemade milkshakes, clowns...

TO: SAGE (re: the X-Force)

FROM: Emma Frost

SUBJECT: Guest List & Security

Hello, darling.

It’s that time of the year once more. The Hellfire Gala is upon us and we are elated to welcome humans, mutants and all others to Mykines Island to celebrate the partnership between humans and mutants. This year, we’ll be honoring those who benefit from our medicines and petals. Of course, I’d be remiss if I did not mention the recent bombshell that Cyclops so lovingly blew up in our faces regarding the secrets of mutant resurrections. We expect people to attempt to crash the Gala in an attempt to prove a point, and as a result the Five have been prohibited from attending. They are to stay in the Healing Gardens with a chaperone at all times.

Like last year, I must thank you and X-Force the services you’ll provide to keep the event safe and secure. Unlike last year, however, I request that you do not let anyone get murdered again. What happened with Wanda Maximoff cannot be repeated. Keeping that in mind, please reach out telepathically if there is an EMERGENCY of any sort. Both myself and the Cuckoo’s will be keeping our minds tuned in.

In the meanwhile, I have attached the guest list below. Please do not let ANYONE in who is not on the list. There is one exception: foreign diplomats and politicians were sent over separately for security purposes.

Do note that many guests will be attending masks or other disguises to preserve their secret identity. Verify their identities before they access the Gates.

With Love,

Martin Patrick Essay - Animism in Art Edited by Christopher Braddock

[obscureoperations]

Martin to preferences in a person? does he prefer women or men more? if women, does he prefer them thin? fat? high? low? skin color difference? or hair? or of a different nationality?big or small breasts? and what does he first look at in a person? physical aspect or mind.

I would like to know if to an ideal type of person who attracts him👀

Honestly, I don't want to speak too much for the character that I negate any preferences that Romero might have intended. I feel that it's all up for interpretation.. what do you feel might be Martin's preferred type? It all depends on how you write him. Or want to view him in your mind.

I tend to stick to the archetypes that he's drawn to in the film.. and more gender neutral preferences. I've never seen any indication that Martin is into men, but the movie leaves so much up for interpretation.

In a general sense he seems to be drawn to petite brunettes. Not overly made up or overdrawn (but then again, it was the 70's) Just natural looking women of normal weight that could range from the age of nineteen to forty. There just has to be something in the potential victim's mannerisms that draws Martin to them from across the street.

He seems to inspect people quite closely..silently watching as they go on about their lives. Enamoured with the way the sun hits their face or the way they brush the hair away from their eyes. Do they seem stressed or pressed for time? Do they have a family? That might interfere with some of his efforts.

I feel that Martin is a creature based on instincts. If it feels right..he sees it as a green light to pursue. It doesn't matter if you're a petite brunette traipsing along the street, or a normal lad reluctantly kicking tires on his way to work.

When Martin notices you..he really notices you. Everything from your stance to the expression on your face. I feel that he becomes infatuated quite easily.. the most mundane tasks can be construed as a show.

So pretty as you seemingly float down the stairs of your apartment. Keys in hand quick to disappear into your car.. So bogged down and uncertain as your heels dig into the pavement.. the scent of tar and Braddock emanating from your skin.

I don't really feel that Martin actually has a type.. he just happens to notice people. Once he does, he's adamant on having them in his life. And if not in his life..he'll find a way to get to view them them up close.

They are exuberant individuals, fairly anxious, yet gifted, enthusiastic, imperious, forcing submission. They are very saved: every one of their things are hazy, surprising, covered up, uncommon. They can cherish and forfeit in affection. They can be phenomenal delegates of an organization or society, specialists, middle people or disseminators. They can likewise become skilled researchers or great clerics. His siblings will quite often seek after an imaginative profession. Blemishes: According to an ethical viewpoint, they are individuals who are too lenient and respectful in character. They are effectively affected and controlled by puppets. What compromises them? That will dissipate your positive outcomes. They are likewise at risk for cuts. They are not generally pragmatic, and your dreamlike tasks may not pay off.
