A walk in the park #3

After weeks of hunting a serial killer who always seems to be two steps ahead of them, Special Agent Eugene Fitzherbert proposes a desperate Hail Mary: use himself as bait to draw the killer out.

In his defense, the plan does technically work. He definitely caught their killer's attention, considering he's currently drugged to the gills and strapped to an operating table in her basement. Immediately, the plan changes from catching her to just trying to survive long enough for his partner and the team to find him.

And then he realizes the killer has a ten year old son, and the plan changes again.

Thoughts on Episodes 1-10

Note: I will be going through all the episodes, but since that may be a long post, I decided to split it up.

SISTERS IN ARMS: This is a pretty good pilot. I like how they introduced the fantasy setting so easily (instead of the show stopping to say "hey, Piper's an elf" they had Zarya have a quick throwaway line to mention it).

HOW TO TRAIN A MYSTICON: I love how Tazma was revealed as a villain, though it seemed like Arkayna got a lot of focus, which considering this is more of a part two to "Sisters In Arms" I wish she was on equal footing with the other Mysticons, and waited her turn for a character episode.

THE CORONATION: Gawayne is annoying, and this episode seemed to drag on fairly long. Still, it showed that despite how Arkayna acts like a strong leader, she is still a teenage girl prone to immaturity, which I like. Kinda wish we had more of Arkayna thinking of her parents.

THE MYSTICON KID: I like how they showed Piper being more intelligent than she seems, but still has issues with staying calm and not blurting things out. I also think this episode helped the others trust Piper's judgment more, as they realize that while she doesn't say things the most mature and calm way, she has good ideas.

AN EYE FOR AN EYE: Not much to say about this. Fairly good Zarya episode, as it shows her rebellious side, and it shows the Mysticons bonding.

HEART OF GOLD: Cute episode, and I like seeing Em have to struggle with what she wants vs what her dad wants, as I find many people struggled with that at least once.

SCOURGE OF THE SEVEN SKIES; An interesting way to introduce major supporting characters, and cause tension in the team.

LOST AND FOUND: The concept is good, but doesn't match well with the previous episode (for example, no one acknowledges Arkayna calling Zarya a disgrace to the Mysticons.

THE ASTROMANCER JOB: A fun episode, and is when we start doing interesting things with the Astromancers disliking the Mysticons.

A WALK IN THE PARK: I like the curse idea, but the Lovesbreath pollen was silly and blocked a potential heartwarming moment between Arkayna and Piper. Also, I don't think Em's hesitation was the problem, as she already used it during the fight, so I'm not sure if she could have used it against Tazma shortly after.

Dog Days

Getting work done around a group of rowdy dog monsters is impossible. Oh well, it's almost Halloween!

Chapter 3: A Walk in the Park

Narrated by Nikki.

Narrator: After calling home, on a sunny day, I go to a small park near the cram school to relax.

Narrator: The small park has beautiful scenery.

Narrator: Boats are passing by on the sparkling lake. It’s very comfortable to sit on the soft grass in the afternoon sun.

Narrator: What a good place for sketching! It’s a pity I didn’t find it earlier.

Narrator: While thinking about this, I suddenly see a drawing board under a tree by the lake.

Narrator: When I get closer, I realize the girl standing next to the drawing board and sighing at the draft turns out to be my classmate.

Nikki: Stary?

Stary: Nikki? Are you here to sketch?

Nikki: Nope. I’m a bit anxious about the exam. I come here to relax. Do you want to go for a walk?

Narrator: I hesitate for a while before asking Stary. She remains still for a moment and then nods slightly.

Narrator: We walk around the lake twice.

Narrator: We are talking about the spots suitable for sketching in the small park, the annoying exam, and other topics.

Narrator: When sitting on the bench to rest, Stary is no longer as reserved as before.

Stary: This school is more than 700 kilometers away from my home. I don’t know anyone here.

Stary: This is the first time I’m in a place so far away from home for studying. I’m still not used to it.

Stary: In the studio, everyone doesn’t seem to like talking. I have to paint every day mechanically, and I don’t know what to do.

Narrator: Watching Stary sigh, I have an idea.

Narrator: I take Stary to the sand, hand her a twig, and find another one for myself.

Nikki: Try to draw the element you like. You’re good at the basics. I believe it will be amazing!

Narrator: Stary hesitates while holding the twig, perhaps because she is embarrassed to draw in front of me.

Narrator: I squat down and start drawing on the sand.

Nikki: I’m like you. This is the first time I left home to study. I feel stressed every day.

Nikki: I couldn’t hold it in anymore, and I even cried when I called my parents.

Stary: Nikki?

Nikki: Then my parents comforted me and asked me to go out and relax in my free time. I feel much better now.

Nikki: Would you like to try it, too? Draw something you like, and maybe you will feel relaxed.

Narrator: A small garden appeared on the sand. I raise my head and smile at Stary to encourage her.

Stary: I’m gonna try.

Narrator: Stary picks up the twig and draws a vivid sea monster next to my garden.

Narrator: Hahaha, that’s so cool.

Stary: This is my dream pet! I dram about surfing, so I must go to a university by the sea.

Nikki: I also have a dream school. Let’s study hard together.

Narrator: The evening wind brushes past our bangs and blows away the gloom in our minds.

Narrator: At night, I call my parents and tell them I went for a walk in the nearby park and became friends with a classmate.

Nikki: Mom... I think I can handle these things by myself.

Nikki: You don’t have to ask for a day off to see me... Otherwise I will feel... a bit embarrassed.

Dad: Haha, Nikki, you’ve pulled yourself together!

Mom: Okay, I believe you, Nikki.

Narrator: Since then, I stayed strong.

Narrator: While preparing for the exam, I look again at some previous drawings and plan to discuss their weaknesses with my teacher.

Narrator: On a design test, I draw a garden-themed design and write down my ideas.

Narrator: “Inspired by my home, I drew the garden. For me, home is a shelter and is strong like a greenhouse garden.”

Narrator: “But I always have to get out of my comfort zone, leave my greenhouse garden, and go on adventures in the outside world.”

Narrator: “So I designed such a dress to keep these warm and beautiful memories that motivate me to move forward.”

Narrator: When the design drawing is sent back, I find the teacher who had always been strict gave me a high score and left a comment.

Narrator: “Keep it up.”

Narrator: When spring comes, the exam results are out and everything is over.

Choose either “You must have succeeded” or “You must be very happy.”

If “succeeded,” ...

You: You must have succeeded.

If “happy,” ...

You: You must be very happy.

--

Narrator: Yeah, I can go to my dream university!

Narrator: Sitting in the studio, from back to front I look through the drawings I drew in class.

Narrator: On the last page I see the messages written by everyone before the exam.

Narrator: And then, I see the garden-themed dress and remember the encouragement of my mother that night.

Narrator: There is also the family portrait we drew with twigs.

Narrator: Soon I will go to my dream university and leave my home again.

Narrator: But I won’t be afraid anymore.

Narrator: I know the garden in my heart is still blooming and the fragrance will always be there to motivate me.

A walk in the Park #2

[refugeed-kim]

YES YES I NEED THIS SIGN IN EVERY SINGLE PARK PLEASE

This is my daily struggle, I had so many arguments with people with off-leash dogs (in a mandatory leash area!!!). Thanks to this behavior I'm struggling with Kim being anxious/aggressive with other females as she often gets involved in unpleased interactions with free females while on leash. And every single time that I ask for the dog to be at least recalled, I'm being called names and insulted of course.

Also 9 out of 10 their dog isn't really that friendly at all.
