🎵 Disco Elysium, pt. 1
"Thanks. That gives me hope."
KIM KITSURAGI - "Good," he says with a quick smile.

3. Turn back to the document.
BADGE: LTN-2JFR DU BOIS - Such a small yet precious thing. Expensive paper caught between thick plastic like a fly in amber. It reads:
4. "Serial: REV12-62-05-JAM41..."
KIM KITSURAGI - "That's just the serial number. Revachol, Jamrock, Precinct 41, with some numbers thrown in there for good measure."
LOGIC [Medium: Success] - The numbers are not there for 'good measure'. They have an administrative purpose. One that's unfortunately been erased from your memory.
5. "Date of issue: 7th of November, '50..."
KIM KITSURAGI - "Four months ago -- I'm guessing that's when you were promoted to the rank of lieutenant double-yefreitor."
"A new badge usually comes with a new rank. You seem to have been… doing well then."
LOGIC [Medium: Success] - You're pretty sure you weren't doing *well* -- but better? Probably yes.
INLAND EMPIRE [Medium: Success] - A lot can happen in four months. Especially in winter. The winters are never easy on you, of that you are sure.
HORRIFIC NECKTIE - I remember that time... the tie around your neck feels tight suddenly. That was a good time. We had a good work/drink balance going. What happened, man? Pump it up.
6. "Precinct: 41?"
KIM KITSURAGI - "Yes. It's the designation of your Precinct. Forty-one. Like mine says Fifty-seven. The 57th is mostly Industrial Harbour. A lot of asphalt. The 41st is..." He stops.
"What?"
KIM KITSURAGI - "It's a *tough* station to work in. You have all of Jamrock to cover -- that district should have *three* precincts, but money is what it is."
ESPRIT DE CORPS [Easy: Success] - It's no wonder you are like you are, he thinks. But then again...
KIM KITSURAGI - "But then again..." A faint smile. "It's a legendary district. And a hell of a station too. It must be an honour and a curse to work with people like Pryce, McCoy, Berdyayeva..."
AUTHORITY [Easy: Success] - And you? Is it an honour to work with you? Don't ask him, ask yourself.
BADGE: LTN-2JFR DU BOIS - The badge in your hands shines as you rotate it, catching light. You see lines of information on it. And a shining watermark.
7. Put the badge away. [Leave.]
We still have plenty of the coast to explore.
Footprints in the snow. They lead away from the accident.
Level up!
That's Jamais Vu coming in there with the additional XP per orb.
There's a boat tucked away underneath the tarpaulin cover.
Through the broken glass: dusty shelves and a forgotten chair.
We can go inside this shack.
A cold breeze is enough to make the wall planks creak.
You see a dark red chair in the dim light of the room.
On these shelves are a bow tie and a postcard.
BOW KNOT
+2 Drama: Theatre kid
You're sure that wearing this is a statement. You're not sure *what* kind of statement, though.
More useful than the +1 Inland Empire we have now. Sorry, Horrific Necktie.
POSTCARD "COAL CITY '08"
This postcard depicts a forest of smokestacks releasing fat plumes of smoke into blue, cloudless sky. The tinge of age – the colour of old teeth – gives it a sickly look. Written on the back is a single sentence, repeated twice: I got out. I got out. No addressee.
INLAND EMPIRE - It's only a red chair. Just a red chair in an empty shack -- with what looked like a dusty bow tie on the shelf. Nothing to see here, right?
"Hey Kim, where are we?"
Sounds like we need to investigate it, then.
[Discard thought.]
KIM KITSURAGI - "In someone's abandoned shack. On the coast. In Martinaise..." He looks at you. "In Revachol."
RHETORIC [Easy: Success] - He's afraid you've forgotten suddenly.
"What's with the red chair?"
"What's with the red bow tie?" (Show it to him.)
"All right. Let's move." [Finish thought.]
KIM KITSURAGI - "Nothing. It's just a piece of furniture." He looks at the chair gathering dust.
INLAND EMPIRE [Easy: Success] - Red paint is peeling off it. Looks like blood, no?
KIM KITSURAGI - "It's just a piece of clothing you've picked up. You do that, officer -- you collect clothes sometimes."
EMPATHY [Easy: Success] - He sounds a little worried. It's an odd habit.
COMPOSURE [Medium: Success] - Don't be worried, lieutenant. Clothes are therapeutic.
HORRIFIC NECKTIE - You took *me* off for that shit? YOU FUCKING IDIOT! Put the horrific neck tie back on immediately -- or you will miss out on the FINAL SHOWDOWN. This is your last warning. Put me back on.
INLAND EMPIRE [Easy: Success] - Yes. Agreed. You should never take your neck tie off. Ever.
Hm.
3. "All right. Let's move." [Finish thought.]
Sounds of life in the north. A washboard scrubs filth from fabric.
Cinderblocks, charred. A makeshift firepit with magazines for lighting.
BENCH - The worn and beaten wooden planks of the bench do not look overly comforting.
KIM KITSURAGI - "Hmh..." The lieutenant looks down the street. "We can sit on benches after we've solved the murder. Let's go."
TUTORIAL AGENT - You can revisit the bench if you ever need to pass the time when Lieutenant Kitsuragi is gone.
You see dust covered linens. Dried tulips on a bed.
INTERISOLARY TROUSERS
+1 to Kingdom of Conscience: Moralist pants!
Tailored trousers in light brown, moderate in every aspect. They're absolutely unremarkable -- in other words, *perfect*.
The bushes are too thick and thorny to pass through.
White curtains have been drawn shut. No looking in.
A whetting stone, well worn and covered in rust.
Construction material. Whoever planned to build this house left in a hurry.
The street sign is illegible below the graffito.
WASHERWOMAN - The woman next to a bucket of clothes hums an odd melody. Her eyes are closed.
"Welcome to the fishing village." She opens her eyes. "Please lean in closer. I have cataracts."
"If you can't see, then how did you know I was here?"
Lean forward.
"Uh, what if I don't want to?"
"Later." [Leave.]
WASHERWOMAN - "I still have a golden ear. Come-come." She beckons you toward her.
2. Lean forward.
WASHERWOMAN - "Oh." A shadow passes over her face. "Welcome, police officer. We don't cause any trouble around here -- and we don't *want* any trouble either."
KIM KITSURAGI - "We're not here to cause any trouble, madam."
HORRIFIC NECKTIE - Trouble? Say the second thing, *bratan*! Shows you got style.

One Minute Reflection – 29 May “Mary’s Month!”
“And a great portent appeared in heaven, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet and on her head a crown of twelve stars”…Revelations 12:1
REFLECTION – “MARY: THE QUEEN OF HEAVEN – “She lives now and is protecting us. She is there [in heaven], body and soul, with the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. She is the same person who was born in Palestine, who gave herself to God while still a child, who received the message from St Gabriel the Archangel, who gave birth to our Saviour and who stood beside Him at the foot of the Cross. In her, all ideals become a reality. But we should never think that this sublime greatness of hers, makes her inaccessible to us. She is the one, who is full of grace and the sum of all perfections . . . and she is also our Mother!”…St Josemaría Escrivá (1902-1975) “Mother of God and our Mother,” Friends of God, 292
Let us offer to our Mother today:
The “Hail Holy Queen” at each hour.
PRAYER – O God, Who by the Resurrection of Thy Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, hast been pleased to give joy to the whole world, grant we beseech Thee, that through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, His Mother, we may attain the joys of eternal life. Our Lady, Queen of Heaven and Mother of us all, pray for us! Through the same Christ, our Lord. Amen.
(via One Minute Reflection - 29 May "Mary's Month!")

SWITCH ON THE LIGHT…Part 2 of 4.
When satan and his demonic angels were casted down to the earth from the heaven, woe (curse) was proclaimed upon the people on earth (Rev12:12), making the earth to become a place of suffering, poverty, wars, wickedness, idolatry, demonic possessions, familiar spirits, sorcery, witchcraft and other dark acts that cause torment, sorrows, suicide, diseases, poverty and other problems of life.
Despite taking side with Satan against God and committing the sin of disobedience. God decided to send Jesus Christ to humanity to provide a rescue for us from satanic and demonic oppression and bondage (Psalm 107:14, John 3:16). He came to rescue us from spiritual blindness that leads to darkness (Matt6:23, Col 1:13). He came as a light unto those that believe in Him (2 Sam22:29, Job29:3, Psalm 18:28) and leave with us his light that darkness comprehend not (John 1:5). Therefore, we must walk in light (John 8:12) and put away every form of darkness (Romans 13:12, Eph 5:8).
Unfortunately, there is so much demonic activities in the world as Satan and his demons continue to pollute humanity with false teachers in Christianity (2 Peter 2:17), even as some christians work against fellow Christians in working with the spirit of darkness (1 John 2:11).
In this generation, what was seen as abomination, evil and mental sickness are being adopted as normal(normalised). In several European countries and in the United States of America, marrying and having sexual relationship with animals is seen as normal. Now people known as trans-sexual are now being accepted as normal, to an extent that they will now be engaged in films and thus become popular, a ploy to make many youths dream of becoming like them. There are many immoral acts being seen as normal today.

headexploder here. I'm not religious but try to learn so I can figure what is going on in society half the time. 9/23/17 is rev 12. I'd love if u looked it up, at least for fun. I think H's ppl -purposely- are opening IG that day. I find it v awkward lol. I don't think Harry is the devil. I don't think dragons (rev12) are evil. I think Harry is supposed to be JewishMessiah. Jews think he didnt come yet. it's like he wants the public to say that for him. He won't say it. lol. Except for 'I AM'.
Reading way too much in the meaning, it’s from a poem
https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems-and-poets/poems/detail/51642#about
Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.
The last 2 lines, think about it, stop reading rev it will make your head explode
