chapter 2; a bright moon

The next morning, Shi Qinghe woke first, and left silently to avoid disturbing Qin Yanyue’s sleep. It was so early that the sun had just begun its ascent into the sky. In the past, his favorite place for meditation had been a small waterfall on the mountain’s rear side, which was rarely met with human visitors. Though time had changed the path of the stream and the banks it flowed between, it could never change the peaceful song this stream sang as it danced between rocks and its riverbed.

Shi Qinghe lost track of himself here until the sun had climbed higher and long breached the tips of the distant mountaintops. A chatter arose about the sect amongst the juniors as they shuffled about in preparation for breakfast, audible even from far away as the boy made his way back to the main gathering area.

Lost in the sea of youthful clamor, Shi Qinghe did not notice a familiar face approaching him from behind.

“Shizun!” a hand tugged on his sleeve. “Found you! Since you came all the way to visit, let's train together, please?”

He looked down into Qin Yanyue’s hopeful eyes, a smile crossing his face. Then, it quickly contorted. “Shixiong. Please don't forget, or else people will ask questions.”

The girl stuck out her tongue.

He ignored her cheeky response and answered her initial question. “Since you utilized it just now, today we’ll do more training with energy recognition. You know the unique signature of my qi well enough that if I were to hide myself somewhere on this mountain, you would be able to find me, correct?”

Her eyes perked up. “Like hide and seek?”

“I… yes. Like hide and seek.”

“Training with Shizun is always fun! Go hide, go hide, I’ll close my eyes!” she moved to stand in a corner away from passerby and made a dramatic show of doing so.

“Your Shixiong will be hidden within five minutes. Please don’t trace my location until the time has come up,” he instructed, then turned to leave.

“Yep yep! Five minutes and I will come find Shizun!”

Correcting her manner of address was a lost cause. Shi Qinghe only hoped that it would not draw unwanted questions while he slunk off in search of a hiding place.

The hiding spot he picked was quite satisfactory, though it took him a moment to scale the tree he’d selected. Maneuvering in a wingless body without trained muscles was a challenge for the boy, but eventually, he came to rest in a concealed spot within the branches roughly fifteen feet from the ground. This particular tree was tucked off in a corner behind a temple used for meditation which received little foot traffic. While it could be disadvantageous to hide in a location with few people, as mingling with a crowd could throw Qin Yanyue off the trail, he also knew that she had difficulties taking height into account and searched mostly by single dimension direction. Hopefully, he’d teach her to look up and not just walk under him.

A few minutes passed. Qin Yanyue walked beneath the tree and did not look up as she continued onwards.

“Shizun!” he heard her voice echo from below after a couple minutes. “Are you here? I keep going in circles! Shizuuun!”

After wandering about for so long and only being lead in loops, she came to the conclusion that he must be up in a tree. But there were lots of trees around with branches too thick to see through, so it was difficult to tell which one.

Shi Qinghe could be mean and throw his voice to a different location to confuse her. It was getting uncomfortable sitting on this branch, though, so he didn't want to delay her finding him for longer.

He was lost in thought and too distracted to hear her approach until she hopped up on the branch behind him without warning.

“Found you!”

While the temptation to be stern and scold her for not being aware of her surroundings was his initial response, Shi Qinghe couldn't help but laugh lightly. Qin Yanyue had a lopsided grin on her face, and a single leaf was stuck in her hair.

“Much too slow. If you had been pursuing me, I would be long gone,” He managed for his slightly stern voice to return.

“Aww, then let’s go again!” Qin Yanyue was not downtrodden by the criticism at all.

“This time, don’t focus on the horizontal plane. The world is in every direction; you would have caught me much sooner had you taken height into account.”

“Mhmm! Okay!” she seemed as if she understood, so Shi Qinghe instructed her to stay still as she had last time while he slipped away once again.

They trained this way for a couple of hours, and while she did not improve by leaps and bounds, Qin Yanyue was finally able to find a way in which to discern height when she caught her master sitting atop one of the pavilion’s rooftops.

That afternoon, while Shi Qinghe had intended for the two of them to go to dinner at the dining hall like usual, Qin Yanyue had other plans.

“Shizun, don’t worry about dinner,” she smiled at him brightly. “Just be back to our room in like, an hour and a half. Okay?”

Though he wished to protest and insist there was no need to give him special treatment, the boy knew his disciple would not take no for an answer. Therefore, he opted to go and meditate near the peak of the mountain until the sun began its descent down the horizon. Finally, when he made his way back, he had started to get hungry, and could smell something delicious and fragrant coming from Qin Yanyue’s place. This body he inhabited had only close to average cultivation, so he had not yet mastered inedia and still needed to eat to sustain himself.

Qin Yanyue was not an expert cook, and had little supplies and space in her room to work with, so she’d opted to make a pot of soup. The broth was a deep red from the spices, hot enough to make one’s eyes water from the scent alone. Shi Qinghe greeted her politely upon returning and watched her dish it up, filling his bowl first and putting significantly less in her own.

“This is the first time you’re eating my cooking, so don’t hurt my feelings. I’m not the best,” the girl sheepishly admitted.

Shi Qinghe could tell at a glance that she’d rolled the noodles by hand, as a good amount of them were lopsided and uneven in shape. The front of her casual robe was covered in dusty white handprints as further evidence, which she’d made no effort to clean up.

He took a small bite at first out of caution, but found there was no reason for alarm; it really was good. She’d added the perfect amount of spice to the broth, the noodles were soft but not to the point of being soggy, and both the vegetables and meat had been cooked just the right amount.

“Yanyue, I didn’t know you could cook so well.” He wasn’t just laying on flattery for the point of being polite— it had been made exactly the way he liked it.

“Ah, Shizun, you’re too nice.” At first, her blush seemed to be one of shyness, but Shi Qinghe realized differently when he noticed the sweat beading on her upper lip and beneath her eyes. She’d only taken a single bite, but the spice had been too much for her, if her watery eyes were any indication.

“Here, Yanyue, some water,” he passed a glass to her, which she gulped down. “Next time, you should portion out your own plate before adding the spices.”

“Shizun will let me cook for her again?” The girl’s teary eyes sparkled despite the pain she was in.

“Of course,” he smiled, then felt a twinge of guilt at the thought of his disciple feeling as if she needed to cook for him. “For a special occasion, maybe, and I’ll never expect it from you.”

Qin Yanyue was stubborn and selfless— of course she’d made the soup so spicy even the strongest of tongues and toughest of stomachs couldn’t stand a chance at handling it. Shi Qinghe, just like his original body, had a tolerance much higher than that of a human, and enjoyed his food so spicy it might be considered a hazard. And Qin Yanyue, knowing this, had made it specifically to his tastes knowing she could never eat it herself.

“Yay! Um, I promise I’m not weak, but I really need to water my portion down. Please don’t be offended.”

He laughed to himself internally; how could he be offended when she was the one who had made it? Qin Yanyue was too considerate to the point of acting fretfully sometimes.

…

The juniors from Qing sect arrived three days later. Within that time, Shi Qinghe had re-familiarized himself with the layout of the sect, spread about the story of his return from recovery at the foothill, and had gotten the hang of fitting in with the other junior disciples. Both him and Qin Yanyue had done a bit of training together every day, sometimes working on her energy tracing, and other times sparring. He had not, however, found a place to sleep other than her floor within this time.

The welcoming procession was swarming with curious disciples to greet the newcomers, who had come via sword and conveniently avoided the steps up the mountain in the process. A group of 10 juniors and a single senior disciple had arrived and had quite the procession waiting for them.

Shi Qinghe watched from the sidelines, not close enough to see the faces of the newcomers, but still aware of what was going on. All of the juniors in the crowd had reactions of either curiosity, excitement, or both, with not a single bit of animosity to be detected. It seemed as if tensions between the sects had really dissipated after all this time.

The crowds finally dispersed when the newcomers went to the elder's abode for a more formal greeting. Through murmurs in the crowd, Shi Qinghe was able to find out that they'd be invited for dinner, and there would be a few friendly sparring matches this afternoon to exchange shows of skill.

“Shizun,” Qin Yanyue was, of course, still following him around like a shadow (an adorable one, so he couldn't complain). “Disciples from other sects come and visit pretty often. How come everyone is excited for these ones?”

Of course, the answer to this question is that Qing sect was one of the most notable sects in the jianghu alongside their own, so of course they wouldn't compare to ordinary martial artist visitors. However, Shi Qinghe hadn’t taught the girl about this sect at all, not wanting his very obvious bias to affect her studies. He’d hoped that her in-person schooling— for lack of a better word— would have taught her about the sect’s history, but it seemed this hope had been in vain.

“They’re very strong,” was the answer he settled on. “Not like your average martial practitioner. And they're going to be dueling a few of our disciples, so of course, everyone’s excited.”

“Ooh!” Qin Yanyue’s eyes lit up. “I figured they had to be important, ‘cause they got invited to the elder’s domain straight off the bat.”

He nodded. “They should be joining us for mealtime soon; let’s head that direction.”

In the dining hall, everyone was clamoring, as the Qing sect disciples had already arrived. As it turned out, for the upcoming duels, the visitors would be picking from the crowd who they wanted to fight. So, of course, every single junior was vying for their attention at the current moment.

It left Qin Yanyue and Shi Qinghe a peaceful moment at a table away from the chaos, however. Unlike most martial arts sects, which practiced gender-based separation especially within dining and living spaces, both Feng sect and Qing sect had female founders. As such, no such separation was cared about, so the two were able to sit together without issue or question.

“Everyone is so excited to see them, it almost makes me wanna go look! But they're just martial artists like us, I don't get the hype.”

“You’re not interested in them?” Shi Qinghe asked.

“I think it would be interesting to have a conversation and talk about their martial arts stuff, cause it's different from ours. But just seeing them? I don't really care,” she stuck out her tongue.

“Not even interested in seeing the handsome juniors?” the boy teased.

Qin Yanyue made a raspberry noise to display her playful disgust.

Lost in their conversation, the two did not notice a shift in the outside chatter until a voice caught their attention.

“Is this seat spoken for?”

It was the spot across from Shi Qinghe. And it was indeed not spoken for, so the disguised god affirmed for the newcomer to sit.

It was upon a further glance that he realized this newcomer did not wear the red and gold style robe of a Feng disciple, but instead the green and black of a Qing disciple. He was quite handsome; his black hair was long, silky, and well maintained, pulled up partially into a bun while the rest was allowed to spill over his shoulders. The boy’s features were soft, but striking, and he had eyes which matched the green shade of his clothing as well as the few jade accessories he wore. A sole imperfection to his otherwise pristine appearance was a jagged wound faded to white scar tissue which stretched from right eyebrow to the base of his left cheek. However, Shi Qinghe did not see this as a flaw– rather, it added to the young man’s charm.

“Everyone in your sect is so excited to speak with us, but I’ve gotten a little lost in the clamor. I hope you don't mind if I invade your space in a more peaceful area for a while,” the stranger spoke in address to the two of them. While he appeared to be around his early twenties, only a little older than Shi Qinghe’s assumed appearance, he had the poise and politeness of someone much more mature. The disguised god could tell from experience that this newcomer was someone capable of commanding a great deal of deserved respect.

“We don’t mind at all. Please, have a seat.”

The young man nodded politely and set his tray of food upon the table. He then glanced up.

“May I have the pleasure of exchanging names? Mine is Yuan Qiao, courtesy name Chengyu.”

Shi Qinghe nodded politely. “I am Shi Qinghe, courtesy name Hua– but feel free to use my given name.” Since I put a lot more thought into that one– was his unspoken thought. “And my Shimei is Qin Yanyue.”

“It is a pleasure, Shi Qinghe, Qin Yanyue,” Yuan Qiao politely acknowledged both of them.

While Shi Qinghe badly wanted to chat with this newcomer, he decided to let Qin Yanyue speak instead. She was much younger, and could benefit greatly from learning about the other sects firsthand.

And, of course, she was very eager. “Is it true you guys have mind control powers?”

Shi Qinghe nearly spat out his mouthful of soup. That was certainly one way to get to the point.

Luckily, Yuan Qiao didn't seem to take offense. “Kind of, yes. Here, take a look.”

The thing he pulled from his belt to show to Qin Yanyue was a flute, made from a fine wood of unknown origin and decorated with a very elaborate jade tassel. She hesitated before taking the instrument that was offered for her to examine, spinning it in her hands with wide eyes.

“Wow, it’s so pretty!!” she beamed, then passed it back. “How does it work?”

“Our instruments are made from the same sacred tree which our founder planted many centuries ago. There are two main kinds of enchantments these instruments may use, and while everyone learns both, most choose to specialize in a single one. ‘Invigoration’ taunts an enemy to lose their rationality. ‘Soothing,’ the one I practice, is a calming style only effective on those who trust the person playing it.”

“Wait, so you guys use your mind control thingies on allies too? How come?”

A smile rose to Yuan Qiao’s cheeks, soothing Shi Qinghe’s worry that this stranger might be overwhelmed by her questions. “Imagine this; a friend loses their mind to heartbreak, or is swayed by strong emotions on a battlefield, or even enters a Qi deviation– you aren't powerless to help when you’re versed in Soothing. It’s considered just as important as offensive music by our practitioners.”

“Not all of you wield flutes, though, I’ve noticed,” Shi Qinghe pointed out. While he knew full well how Qing sect’s teachings worked, he was hoping to lead the conversation so that Qin Yanyue could learn more. “Is there a difference between the instruments?”

Yuan Qiao nodded. “Usually, string instruments are used for Soothing, and wind instruments are used for Invigoration. As you can see, however, it’s not a set rule,” he gestured to his own flute. “Ah, I hope I am not boring you two— I do love talking about music.”

“It’s not boring at all! That’s super cool!” Qin Yanyue insisted enthusiastically.

“If you both wouldn't mind, I’m also curious to learn more about Feng sect’s energy reading and resonance abilities. I’m only vaguely familiar with the concept itself.”

Qin Yanyue did not answer and instead looked to Shi Qinghe– this was a thing best explained by her master.

“Well,” Shi Qinghe began. “Here, we learn how to make sense of an individual’s Qi frequency– you can use it for analyzing an opponent, or tracking a person you’ve met– even telling where they’ve been or what things they’ve touched once it’s honed enough. Finding how to tell a person’s Qi signature is very difficult and takes a lot of time to master, since the details that make each person’s energy unique are very minute.”

“Perhaps one of you would like to give analyzing my own a try? I’ve always been curious what could be made of it,” Yuan Qiao suggested, a soft smile gracing his features.

“Of course, I’d be glad to,” Shi Qinghe nodded politely. Qin Yanyue was only beginning to learn the ability, and could only distinguish Shi Qinghe’s own frequency so far, unable to tell anyone else’s. Thus, the task fell on him. “You’ll have to come closer, and I’ll have to place my hand on your chest.”

The physical contact wouldn’t have been necessary for someone as learned as Shi Qinghe that normally could tell everything about someone just by a glance while in his original body. However, the young man he took the appearance of only had above-average skills, and thus, could not make any such analysis by sight alone yet.

Also, because who wouldn't pass up the opportunity to put their hand up against the chest of a very beautiful young man? Not Shi Qinghe.

Yuan Qiao complied and abandoned his tray of food to sit on the opposite side of the table, directly next to the disguised god. However, before Shi Qinghe could raise his hand, the other boy murmured something quietly– something only his ears would catch.

“You might find something surprising; please don’t speak it aloud.”

Shi Qinghe nodded, not allowing to show in his expression just how much those words had piqued his curiosity. His fingers gently lifted, but hesitated when Yuan Qiao spoke again.

“Is it okay through my clothing, or do you need contact with bare skin?”

Shi Qinghe was an honorable person who rarely lied, but this was a special case. Sensing energy through clothing was perfectly doable, though who would tell the truth when such an opportunity presented itself willingly?

“Ah… it works best with bare skin, if you don't mind.”

This was very much untrue, but Yuan Qiao did not ask any questions. In fact, he seemed satisfied by this answer, and moved to lower his high collar and allow Shi Qinghe access down the front of his robe.

Shi Qinghe was a powerful deity reduced to a blushing young man as his hand slipped through the other’s clothes to touch bare skin. From feel alone, he could tell that the other man had a strong build beneath his elegant and beautiful style of dress. This kept him distracted for a few moments before he realized– he was supposed to be sensing for Qi, not feeling for soft skin.

(scene art is from @nekoning !! 💞💞)

It was not human Qi which pulsed beneath his fingertips, but draconic Qi.

Shocked by this initial realization, he examined further. Sure enough, this stranger who appeared human was undoubtedly a dragon. His strength was nothing out of average for one, but in comparison to a human's, it was very notable. Shi Qinghe deepened his examination to look into personality and nature and found nothing hidden– this was a person with an innately kind nature and nothing unsightly or evil hidden within.

Such a genuine nature was rare to come by, and any unsure thoughts he’d had about this stranger faded away. Yuan Qiao was a very ordinary and kindhearted young man who also happened to be a dragon.

Dragons often took human form and mingled among the human realm, and those who weren't experts could hardly tell the difference. Their organized society had died out a long time past, so most were wanderers with little family to speak of. While uncommon, it wasn't a cause for concern– these creatures were powerful, but usually not malevolent.

Once having completed his examination, Shi Qinghe was loath to draw his hand back. The rise and fall of the other’s chest beneath his fingertips was very satisfying.

Eventually, he did so. “Your core has reached the state which is that of Mirror, and you have a calm and kind nature,” he explained his analysis. “I can tell you spend a lot of time in self-reflection. And– I noticed the thing you spoke of; you’re very strong. It’s admirable, and you have a lot of potential for growth.”

He kept his words purposely vague to keep Qin Yanyue and any potential eavesdroppers out of the loop. Yuan Qiao’s inhuman nature was not a threat, and he’d trusted Shi Qinghe with its knowledge, so he felt no need to give the girl a warning of caution. This Yuan Qiao was a stranger, but he was undoubtedly trustworthy.

“Those are very impressive insights; I greatly appreciate your praise,” Yuan Qiao nodded politely.

“Wait, wait, Shizu—shixiong! If you're showing off cool stuff Feng sect can do, what about Qi connections?”

Shi Qinghe’s eyebrow twitched; she’d corrected herself just in time, but he was thankful. “That’s right… if we haven't bored you yet?” he turned his gaze back to Yuan Qiao.

The other seemed interested. “No, I would love to hear.”

“I wanna explain!” Qin Yanyue was very excited, as this was an ability she was very skilled in– the other juniors her age were incomparable in talent. “Qi connections are where you make a link between yourself and someone else. You can use it to communicate wordlessly, and once you’ve been connected to the person for long enough, you can feel their emotions, and even share dreams with them!”

“Is it a temporary connection?” Yuan Qiao asked.

“It can be, or you can keep it! It requires an energy tax– as my Shizun calls it– to stay alive. It’s like a rope that you can't see, that you need to keep feeding little bits of energy, or it’ll fall apart.”

Shi Qinghe appreciated that she referred to her Shizun as if he were not present in the room right then.

“Yanyue is very good at it. Would you like a demonstration?” From his expression, both of them could tell Yuan Qiao was very curious still, so Shi Qinghe made the offer.

“If you don’t mind,” Yuan Qiao nodded politely, a light smile coming to his face. “I would love that.”

It took Qin Yanyue mere seconds to draw up a connection and fill it with energy. Moments later, her voice rang out in both of their minds.

“Hello! I’m speaking without speaking! See, isn't this cool!”

Yuan Qiao’s eyes widened. “You really are speaking into my mind. I imagine this could be quite useful!”

“Hehe, isn't it fun? We only do it with friends, ‘cause if you do it with a bad person, they can surge the energy lines and hurt you.”

“I’ve always heard about how Feng sect practitioners seem to communicate seamlessly. I’m impressed by the trick behind it.”

“I connected all three of us, but you can use only one part of the “rope” if you wanna talk to only one person.” Qin Yanyue explained. “Shixiong! Show him you can talk to just him!”

The next words were directed solely at Yuan Qiao. “I’ve never felt draconic Qi before,” that was another lie that made Shi Qinghe feel slightly guilty despite its harmlessness. “So it took me a second to recognize it. I appreciate your trust, and your secret is safe with me.”

“It’s hardly a secret,” came Yuan Qiao’s reply. “Everyone close with me knows. I just fear rumors spreading if too many people were to find out.”

“Do lots of people have a bias against dragons?” Shi Qinghe feigned the ignorance of someone who had not met one before.

“Some, but it's more of fear than a bias. I promise I’m nothing to be afraid of.”

“If you were something to be afraid of, I wouldn't have felt ‘I’m a nice person’ resonating off every bit of energy in your body just now.”

The sound of Yuan Qiao’s laugh echoed through the mental connection. “I appreciate your faith in me, and your kind words. I hope that we might become friends.”

“What are you guys talking about…. it got quiet!!” the both of them heard Qin Yanyue exclaim through the shared connection. “Sorry, I’m not trying to be nosy, but you both are staring at each other looking all smiley.”

Both young men were instantly embarrassed; they had indeed been exchanging wordless smiles and warm gazes the entire time they had been mentally communicating.

“We were having an important conversation. About things,” Shi Qinghe spluttered out.

At this very inconvenient time, one of the Qing sect disciples came over to the table, having spotted Yuan Qiao.

“Shixiong, everyone’s been looking for you! Are you done eating? We got invited to meditate at the temple, and everyone else went that way already.”

“I’m almost done; I’ll meet you after,” Yuan Qiao nodded politely. The other young man left, and a warm glance was given to Shi Qinghe.

“I apologize for having to leave so early. I got distracted and forgot about my food, so I’ll stay for a few minutes longer.”

“It’s no worries! Thanks for talking with us!” Qin Yanyue beamed. “We should talk again and be friends. When you aren’t busy, that is!”

“Of course,” Yuan Qiao laughed lightly.

He quickly finished his food, enjoyed a bit more conversation with the pair, and went on his way.

“What now, Shizun?” Qin Yanyue asked once they were alone yet again. “More hide and s- I mean, location tracking training?”

“Actually, our conversation made me remember you need to train harder to recognize other people’s signatures. You can't go a long ways only being able to tell my own, after all.”

“Then who should I try doing it with? I can’t go around touching people at random,” Qin Yanyue made a face.

“You don't need to touch anyone. You made a connection with Yuan Qiao just now, so you can feel his Qi flowing through the bond still, right? Try recognizing his signature– compare it to mine, since we’re connected and you can easily make contrast between him and I. Then, try and see where he’s gone off to.”

“Oh, so you wanna spy on the pretty boy, hmm?” Qin Yanyue raised an eyebrow and gave an amused laugh.

“Spy, pretty– no! I suggested such because you don't need to touch him for– oh, forget it.”

“You were totally batting your eyes at him the whole time. Is he your type? He’s a little young for you. Didn't you tell me mortals and immortals shouldn't fall in love, or else you'll be sad when they die?”

Shi Qinghe’s face flushed a deep shade of red, but he couldn't be angry at her teasing. Instead, a different thought lingered on his mind.

He’s not completely mortal– dragons usually have a lifespan of around five hundred years. I shouldn’t humor that thought though; he’s certainly attractive, but it would be totally inappropriate for me to fall in love with someone under a fake identity.

“You didn't answerrrrr,” Qin Yanyue tugged on his sleeve. “Shizun, shizun! Stop daydreaming about the pretty boy!”

“Okay, okay! I don’t like him like that. I just met him.”

“He didn’t say no when I asked him to be friends, so you’ll definitely make friends with him! And then you can turn him immortal and live happily ever after~~~”

“Yanyue!” he yelped. “No, no. I will not. Are we training or are we going to sit here with empty food trays all day?”

He did not acknowledge her words further, but they did mingle with the memory of Yuan Qiao privately asking him if they could be friends. Hopefully, they could become friends.

Qin Yanyue did in fact try and follow the connection she’d established earlier, but was met without success after a long time of attempting and being instructed by her master. She had a long ways to go, he realized, if she couldn't even tell the difference between draconic and human Qi yet.

That night, while about to drift off to sleep bundled in blankets on his disciple’s floor, he came to a surprising realization. The binding between the two of them and Yuan Qiao had not fizzled out yet, and still stood fully intact. It would have normally dispersed by now, so that only meant one thing– Yuan Qiao had given it a little bit of Qi to maintain it. The pulse of his draconic energy flowing through their bond was soothing, and while barely detectable, Shi Qinghe enjoyed the sensation.

These thoughts lingered on his mind for a long time before he finally fell asleep.

Ever grabbed a coffee from a self-service kiosk outside a cafe?

Or maybe topped up your mobile recharge at a street-side machine? Without realizing it, you’ve interacted with a major shift in how businesses operate. Outdoor kiosk technology is no longer a “nice-to-have.” It’s quietly disrupting traditional business models, and doing it in broad daylight. Here’s how: 🕒 24/7 Availability Traditional businesses rely on staff working hours. Outdoor kiosks? They serve customers at midnight, during holidays, and even in pouring rain. Convenience wins. 👥 Reduced Dependency on Manpower Fewer employees doesn’t mean less service, it means smarter service. A single outdoor kiosk can handle dozens of tasks without a lunch break or sick day. 🌍 Wider Reach Without Expensive Real Estate Opening new branches or stores? That’s heavy on the pocket. Deploying outdoor kiosks in key locations? It’s lean, mobile, and scalable. 🎯 Faster Customer Service From parking payments to SIM card purchases, outdoor kiosks cut the queues and put the power in the customer’s hands—literally. 💡 Real-World Example: Think about your last visit to a hospital, metro station, or even a bank. Chances are, an outdoor kiosk helped you check in, pay, or get info without waiting in line. That’s the disruption we’re talking about. And here’s the big takeaway: Businesses that embrace kiosk technology are future-proofing their customer experience. Those that don’t? Might be left catching up. 📌 If you’re a founder, decision-maker, or just someone curious about where commerce is heading—this is your sign to pay attention to outdoor kiosk innovation. Let’s not just watch the future happen. Let’s be part of building it.

How Aadhaar Payments Help You Save Time and Money

In today’s fast-paced digital world, financial transactions need to be quick, easy, and secure. Aadhaar-enabled payment services (AEPS) provide a seamless way to conduct transactions, ensuring instant money transfer and secure payment processing. Whether you are a business owner, a retailer, or an individual, Aadhaar payments can save you both time and money in multiple ways.

No Need for Bank Visits or ATMs

Traditional banking often involves long queues, paperwork, and waiting times at banks or ATMs. With Aadhaar payments, you can withdraw or transfer money directly from your Aadhaar-linked bank account using just your fingerprint and Aadhaar number. This eliminates the need to visit a bank or ATM, saving both time and travel expenses.

Instant Money Transfer with Minimal Effort

One of the biggest advantages of Aadhaar payments is the ability to perform instant money transfer without delays. Whether you need to send money to a family member or make a payment for goods or services, Aadhaar banking enables real-time transactions. Unlike traditional bank transfers that may take hours or even days, Aadhaar payments happen instantly, ensuring that funds are available when needed.

Secure Payment Processing Reduces Fraud Risks

Security is a major concern when it comes to digital payments. Aadhaar payments ensure secure payment processing by using biometric authentication, such as fingerprint or iris scanning, instead of passwords or PINs that can be forgotten or stolen. Since each Aadhaar number is unique, fraud risks are significantly reduced, making it one of the safest payment methods.

No Need for Debit or Credit Cards

Carrying debit or credit cards comes with risks, such as theft, loss, or misuse. Aadhaar payments eliminate this concern as they do not require any physical cards. Users can simply authenticate transactions with their biometric details, ensuring a smooth and secure experience. This also means no more worries about card renewal fees, PIN resets, or card maintenance charges.

Low Transaction Costs Mean More Savings

Traditional banking and digital wallets often charge service fees for fund transfers, withdrawals, and other transactions. Aadhaar payments typically come with minimal or no charges, allowing users to save on unnecessary banking costs. This is particularly beneficial for small businesses and individuals who rely on frequent transactions.

Helps Small Businesses and Retailers Save Time

For businesses, time is money.Aadhaar based payments allow merchants and small retailers to receive payments instantly without waiting for bank clearances. Since AEPS transactions require only biometric authentication, customers can make payments even if they do not have a smartphone or internet access, reducing delays and improving business efficiency.

Enables Financial Inclusion in Rural Areas

In remote areas, access to banking facilities can be limited. Aadhaar payments bridge this gap by allowing people to withdraw and transfer money without needing a physical bank branch. This not only saves time spent traveling to the nearest bank but also makes financial services more accessible, especially for those who do not have traditional banking knowledge.

Government Benefits Directly in Your Account

Many government subsidies, pensions, and welfare schemes are now directly transferred to Aadhaar-linked bank accounts. This eliminates the need for middlemen, ensuring that beneficiaries receive their money without delays or additional costs.

Cole and Jewels lore

Their my Tron oc and I thought it might be appropriate to explain their lore here.

-----------

Users-

I think it would be best if I explained their user backstory first because it is deeply tied to their regular backstory.

Cole's user name is Alex Walker. He worked with his father, Jimmy Walker at Encom. Alex had a Big love for music and is a metal head. It the reason he created Cole in the first place.

Jewels user name is Akko Suzuki. She is from Encom Japan branch. She originally wanted to become a singer but don't pursue it because she don't want to disappoint her parents. Like Cole Akko has a deep love for music. She even provided the voice Banks for jewels herself.

Alex met Akko while he was visiting Japan for business. It was their they bonded over their shared love for music and evenly fallen in love...

--------------------------

Cole-

Cole was created to be a super advanced stereo program for concerts and to improved music listening as much as possible. ( That code word to say he was program to be loud AF) saddle Cole's user, Alex died in a tragic car accident before he could even finish him. It was Alex's father Jim who finished him. When that happened it did put a great dent in his Faith in the users.

Cole meet Yori sometime after his user died. Cole was roaming around the center of the system to clear his head when he noticed a strange program sitting on the edge looking at the sky longing. When Yori notes Cole she asked" what are you doing out here all alone. "Cole replied " I could ask you the same." Yori tell him that it reminds her of her counterpart.

It took a while for Cole to open up to Yori. Expecly given her reputation.

You see long ago Yori was one a respectable simulation problem. Rumors has it she had a hand in the defeat in the Master control program from long ago. Since her accident Yori became an out mode. Programs call her crazy because she swores she met a user.

But the more they started talking the more Cole realize that Yori was the nicest problem that he ever met and the rumors about her were exaggerated.

Once Cole explains his problem Yori adopted him faster than Batman. Comfort the Young program and gave him some advice and from that day forward they had a mother and son relationship. ( Making Cole a massive momma's boy.)

------------------------

Jewels

Jewels was basically created to be a vocaloid before vocaloid existed. ( Listen if Flynn can have the idea for Wi-Fi in 1985 then Encom can creates a vocaloid in the late 80s /early 90s ) jewels was never finished because the head of Encom Japan shut down the project when Flynn disappeared. jewels haven't herd from her user ever sense. It also made her an out mode, a program with out a into function to carry.

Without the comfort of her user, jewels because cold and distant. Referring to isolated her self from other programs. An ice queen will. It was when she met Cole and fell in love with him that she started to open herself up.

Jewels and Cole met on a quiet cycle in the system. Jewels was sing to herself. What she didn't know it caught the ears of Cole who was on his way home after work. Though the song she sang was sad and had a melancholy tune it was a beautiful melody to him. Though Cole did scare her when the snucked behind her to tell her that he thought what her singing was beautiful. When Jewels got herself compost, She told Cole that she though her ability was quite a useless function and over all didn't benefit the system in anyway. Cole then responded " well I think your ability was a gift from your user. I mean you the second program a know who can sing." He then proceeded to suggest her that maybe she could use her gift to distract or bring joy to others programs when they're down.

Something changed in Jewels after that. After that day Cole would meet Jewels in the palace they met. They would talk and chat about pretty much anything. Cole would even bring his guitar to play for her. It was thank to Cole that jewels found her love of music again and Slowly jewels got out of her shell. They would travel the Encom system together meating Cole friends, Cole even introduced Jewels to Yori when they got ready close ( if you know what I mean). That is to say before they knew it they were a couple.

While Jewels had defrosted after meeting Cole she is still somewhat of an ice queen. What I mean by that is that she is pretty blunt and straight to the point, ( she is monotone over all I would say.) Jewels also has a resting bich face which makes her intimidating for other programs to approach her at first. But you could also catch her smiling around love ones. ( Expecly around her loud idiot,)

Jewels spin her time sing for other programs around the system. She expecly like to sing for other out modes like herself. To her it like easing programs out of their worry.. at least temporarily. Cole preform with her to sometimes. Jewels also likes to help Yori around

------------------------------

Other ( because I couldn't decide were to place them or need to to more research) -

In Cole, jewels, and Yori family dynamic. Cole is the breadwinner of the family.

Cole is really good at learning like really good. What I mean is that can learn stuff outside his programming. An example is he learn how to play a guitar from a synth program.... Maybe it not a good example but this goes to say that I think it would be unusual for programs to to learn something outside their programming in the Encom system. ( But in the grid yea 100 % sure)

Yori taught Cole how to do simulations. Cole don't have a say in the mater. Yori thought that it might come in handy one day and no son of hers wasn't gonna know how to do a simulation properly. It turned out the it really did came in handy when Cole found himself on the grid. He used it to help Beck on missions and training..

Cole can't fight for shit. He mostly his natural gift of sound to get himself out of tricky situations, using his guitar like a baseball bat also works. But since coming to the grid he really has no choice to learn how to fight properly. ( So in other words he's learning)

If I don't make it obvious, Cole don't hold the users in highest regard. He doesn't despise them by any means, he just thinks that their flawed sometimes. However he does despises Yori and jewels users for abandoning them. ( Thought he trieds not to insult Lora- one in front of Yori face. He learn the last time)

Cole and Jewels to a certain extent hates Tron guts.... Well in a way. Who he really hates is ' Yori counterpart that left the system for some reason that Yori can't remember the name or face after her accident ' aka Tron. But Cole doesn't know that to him and a bunch of other young programs in the system, Tron is just a legend. Some programs are not sure if he was even a real program that defeated the MCP. Basically his Tron biggest hater with out knowing his Tron biggest hater. Back to Cole he didn't like the fact that Yori counterpart left her all alone and think she could do so much better. ( Cole and Jewels try to set Yori on date but they never work.

As a result of Cole being an advance stereo program, he has really good hearing.

Argentina: Firearms Resolution Opens Door to Abuse

(Washington, DC) - A new executive branch resolution broadening the scope for security agents’ use of firearms in Argentina runs counter to basic human rights standards and opens the door to abuse, Human Rights Watch said today.

On March 14, 2024, Security Minister Patricia Bullrich approved the resolution citing increased gang violence in the city of Rosario, Santa Fe province, which Human Rights Watch visited in late February. The resolution contains loopholes and ambiguities that could allow security officers to employ firearms in an unacceptably broad set of circumstances. It applies to all national security forces, including the national police and the national penitentiary service.

“People in Rosario and elsewhere in Argentina should be able to go about their daily lives without fear due to insecurity,” said Juanita Goebertus, Americas director at Human Rights Watch. “To achieve that, the government should be strengthening judicial capacity and preventing gang recruitment, not opening the door to excessive use of force.”

The resolution is an extended version of another resolution that Bullrich passed in 2018, when she was also Security Minister. Human Rights Watch had called for its modification as it ran counter to international human rights standards.

Rosario is the urban center with the highest rate of homicides in Argentina, five times higher than the average national rate. Its location, on the banks of a key waterway for regional trade and connected by land to Paraguay and Bolivia, makes it strategic for drug trafficking. For more than a decade, various local gangs have fought over control of the local drug trade. In the first two weeks of March, two taxi drivers, a bus driver, and a gas station employee were killed. Some analysts say the killings were possibly a countermove by gangs against the authorities’ measures to exert greater control in prisons.

When Human Rights Watch visited Rosario, provincial and municipal authorities, as well as judges, prosecutors, and experts on gang violence, emphasized the importance of strengthening judicial and prosecutorial capacities to investigate crimes by local gangs, their financing, and their connections with corrupt politicians. They also cited the need to prevent gang recruitment by improving education and job opportunities. (Human Rights Watch)

Yan Space Pirate (OC AU)

Ok so this is 110% because I'm currently obsessed with no mans sky, and i havent even gotten around to writing Dex a formal introduction fic but essentially he's a monster hunter, that's (one of) his big secret(s) that's implied in the short piece I dropped.

i have a dozen drafts that I just cannot finish for some reason that i should finish first but i cant sleep until i write about space criminal dex getting up to space crimes. him meeting his darling because his starship gets shot down and he crashes on their home planet and they fjdskhgusihek

i wanted this to be a teensy bit longer but i think maybe ill just make a part two and post this for now. i feel distinctly self conscious posting this as a yandere thing without there being any yandere content in this at all but i swear it'll be in the second part ywy

i'm trying to improve my writing so critiques, suggestions and requests are welcome ♡

Maybe going into a hostile Euclid system without spare shield batteries wasn't the smartest idea after all. Dex was definitely regretting it now that he was spiraling out of control through the burning atmosphere with both of his pulse engines spewing smoke. He took the moment before impact to curse himself internally for letting cockiness get the better of him yet again, exactly the way Roman said he would. He was more bothered by Roman being proven right than by actually getting shot out of space by those nosy ass Sentinels. They wouldn't get mad about him having a ship loaded tip to top with illegal contraband if they didn't randomly scan his cargo without asking, now would they?

There was no more time to be bitter about it though. Despite the steam obscuring everything around him, the result of a superheated rainstorm judging from the planetary temperature reading displayed on one of his few remaining functional screens, he was pretty sure was about to make impact any-

💫💫💫🚀☄️🪐💥

You're awoken by a cacophony of crashing water, ripping metal, and falling trees, your home shaking on its very foundation. Almost as abruptly as it came, the sound stops, and you sit in your bed a moment to calm yourself, nerves scattered from being ripped awake. You had been enjoying a particularly nice sleep too, listening to the peaceful pattering of the boiling rain that was so common on your planet. After a few minutes spent shuffling into the exosuit that would keep you from burning alive outside for at least a little while, you quickly made your way outside to find the source of the noise. Admittedly, this was a bit dangerous but if there was some kind of accident and someone was hurt, they could be killed getting cooked alive if they were trapped outside, so you had to at least see if anyone needed help.

Your home was settled a short way away from a small settlement, not close enough to visit without a short bit of travel, but close enough to visit every day if you so chose. Nestled at the edge of a crater lake, your small but well stocked and fortified base was built with a single-story home unit, a small basement lab and a separate greenhouse that you had lovingly fitted with skylights and tall, floor to ceiling windows. You often wait out the heatstorms in your greenhouse, tending your plants peacefully as the steam and rain rages around your protected little bubble of tranquility.

You turn your head as your visor scans your surroundings through the steam better than your eyes could in all the tumult, soon landing on a crashed starcraft, wedged into the bank of the lake at the bottom of the crater. You hastily skid down the side of the crater, hopping over wreckage and broken tree branches to make your way to the ship. After clambering up the side of the ship to the windscreen, you wince to see that its partially shattered, exposing the pilot inside to the harsh rains. You have to act fast. You pull a compact tarp from one of the pockets of your suit and wrap it around your arm before smashing out more of the screen. After much struggle while carefully avoiding broken glass and sweating buckets inside your exosuit, you manage to wrap the pilot in the tarp, drag him back into your base and lay him out on a sofa.

Looking down at the pilot now without anything to obstruct your vision, he's clearly not from around here. While humanoid like yourself, he is incredibly tall, probably part of what made him so difficult to drag around. His height is added to by the long, ivory horns standing straight on the top of his head, however, one of them has been broken off near the base. Judging from the fresh blood dripping from the stub, it likely snapped off during the crash. The white of his horns contrasts greatly with his inky black curls and dark tanned skin, and after a few moments of observation, pale blue sparks run up their length; you hurriedly put a plastic cover between his head and your very flammable sofa.

You go to run a medical scanner over him but stop short when you see the iron rosary around his neck, sturdy enough to survive a crash from space apparently. You remove it to get it out of the way of your treatment. You quickly realize his injuries aren't immediately life threatening somehow, despite the intensity of the crash, but they are severe. One leg broken in two places, four broken ribs, several deep wounds and too many scrapes and bruises to count on top of the broken horn.

You take a deep breath and start cutting away his suit to get to work.

⛈️⛈️⛈️🔥🔥

Fuck... Everything hurts so much.

Dex floats just on the edge of consciousness, barely breaking through the burningly painful haze covering him head to toe. It hurt to be awake, he just wanted to sink back into blackness but giving in to such moments of weakness would only get him killed.

Suddenly, he feels hands on him, followed by an even sharper pain in his leg where they touch. He tries to open his eyes, to move, anything, only to be hit with a wave of nausea that has him reeling, blood rushing so violently through his ears all he can hear is shrill ringing. He can't see, the lights overhead are doubled and swirling, obscuring everything around him, bright, blinding, confusing. He groans, every movement compounding his pain as he tries to get away from whatever is touching him, panic rising. He can't see or think, the panic is churning into a bitter terror, fear itching like insects up his spine and down his limbs as he thrashes-

"It's okay- you're safe." A voice, soft, worried, kind. The hands move to cup his face and the spinning stops, the nausea recedes; their skin is cool against the feverish burning that covers him, soothing. It takes a moment, but he grows still, occasionally twitching in pain. He tries again to open his eyes, focusing now on the being hovering over him.

"I'm going to help you, just be calm."

The light that had just been so harsh and blinding was now a glorious halo that shone gently around their silhouette, casting most of their face in shadow. He can see their eyes, though, the depths of them are all he can see, glowing just as brightly as the halo around them, filled with a worry that seemed... personal, affectionate. Intimate, even. He stills further, not even aware of his body relaxing against his will. He's startled into confusion once again, but in a different way, rather than panic he's struck motionless by sheer awe.

Beautiful.

This... Was Roman right about angels? Would an angel really come for someone like me..? Am I really deserving of salvation?

Considering everything he'd done, the kind of life he's lived since he lost his sister... He'd never thought it possible. Despite Roman insisting on Dex wearing the rosary he had given him soon after they'd first met, he didn't care to seek God's protection or embrace, in this life or the next. According to that stupid book, he was hellbound, so why waste time praying for salvation that would never come?

"An.. Angel..." The words come out in a daze, spilling straight from his dizzy, muddled head out of his mouth. He could barely even tell if he was actually speaking or if he was hearing things, the darkness at the edge of his vision is creeping further, covering his vision with black again, the ringing in his ears crescendos into a shrill chorus.

This must be how the heavenly gates sound as they screech open to welcome home the blessed, underscored by the singing of cherubs.

He feels at peace.

✩ εꨄ︎з ✩ εꨄ︎з ✩ εꨄ︎з ✩

The pilot stops thrashing and finally goes still and quiet as you lower the syringe. This poor guy, the fear and panic in his eyes had been so real, and intense. Sleeping through the treatment process would be best for him. You spend the next few hours pulling shrapnel from his skin, setting his bones and binding everything securely. Finally, once you're sure you've done everything you can, you sit back with a tall cup of water and finally breathe a sigh of relief. Before you head back to your room to sleep through what remains of the night, you glance out your window to the lake where the crashed ship rests.

What in the galaxy was this guy doing that made him crash?

In the morning, you're awoken by yet another clatter, this time coming from inside your home. You jump out of bed and run to the main room to find the pilot sprawled on the ground in the frame of your front door, several things having been knocked off your table in his journey. You sigh and move closer.

"What are you doing?"

He freezes and slowly turns his head to look up at you. His eyes are a startlingly bright electric blue.

"You really shouldn't be moving yet, you're in worse shape than you probably think you are." You move a step closer to him but he scoots away with a pained wince. You stop and hold your hands up placatingly. "It's okay, I promise I won't hurt you. Why would I bandage you up otherwise, right?"

He seems to consider this for a moment before closing his eyes and nodding stiffly.

"You're right.. 'm sorry for the trouble." He sighs.

You smile lightly and move closer, and this time he doesn't move away when you reach to help him up from the floor and back onto the sofa. He spends a moment adjusting to the least painful position he can manage, looking around the room in a sort of haze. You feel a bit worried looking at his dazed expression, maybe he has a concussion after all... He suddenly fixes his electric gaze on you. You try not to squirm at his intensive attention.

"Er, so, what's your name?" You start. He blinks at the question, thinking.

"Dez... Uh, no.. Dex. Dex for sure." His head tilts to one side, his balance wavering for a moment. "What's your name?"

"It's (y/n)."

"(y/n)..." He repeats it a few times like a mantra before getting distracted with inspecting the room again.

"Can you remember what galaxy we're in? Are you from this system?"

"Hm?" His head droops further to the side, his eyes never leaving yours no matter how far he leans.

You repeat your question.

"Uh... I'm from Adaestria 7...." He scrunches his face. "777-AYK. That's where I'm from."

"Uh-huh, and..?"

"Aaaaand... We're in a red star galaxy." He smirks, clearly proud of himself. He lifts his head, but it droops right back down to the side after a few seconds.

You can't help a small chuckle. It's worrisome, likely indicative of an internal head injury, but it's just a little cute too... A spark runs up his horn at the sound of your laughter and he perks up, grinning dopily.

"Do you remember the name of this galaxy?" You prompt again.

"Zeta Asshole Robots Galaxy." He harumphs, crossing his arms with a scowl, right before the droop finally brings his head down against the side of the couch. "Can't ever min' their business..."

"No, that's definitely not it."

"Hmph, that's what I'm callin' it." He reaches one hand up to scratch at the base of his broken horn, looking shocked when his thumb catches on the broken end. He sits up and feels around it for a bit, looking horrified.

"Ohhhh ssshit... Oh man, that's why I can't see."

"Huh?"

"My horn... It, uhh... When it breaks off I get real fucked up, in the membrane. Insane, in the membrane.." He leans back giggling.

"Can it, grow back?"

"Ohhh yeeaaahh sure sure, 'f course. It jus' takes a few."

"A few...?"

"Weeks." He fixes his hazy eyes on you again, a light, dazed grin fixed on his face. "Is anything else in this galaxy as nice to look at as you two?"

You blanche at the strangeness of the question, which only seems to enthuse him more as he giggles again.

"Two?"

"Oh, is there not supposed to be two of you? Ugh, man.." He leans his head into his hand, sparks popping erratically from the stump of his broken horn. "My head hurts."

"Is there anything I can do? Does anything help while it grows back?" You can't help but put a hand on his shoulder in concern. One of his hands drifts up to cover yours, squeezing lightly.

"If you have, a refiner... You can make a carbon fiber cap." He mutters between his fingers, eyes slipping closed. The goofy confusion is gone, replaced with exhaustion and pain. You nod and move to pull your hand away but he clings to you. For a moment, you think you'll have to pry yourself free, but he lets you go after a long, quiet moment.

You dash down to your lab and after a bit of tinkering, you manage to produce something you deem suitable. Your patient is still slumped over when you return; it looks like he drifted into unconsciousness. You pull on a thick pair of rubber gloves and carefully fix the cap around the broken end of his horn, containing the errant electricity. As soon as it's secure, some of the tension in his face eases.

He opens his eyes again after a moment, visibly more lucid than before. And grumpier. He casts another appraising look around your home, looking distinctly less than impressed, before his eyes land on you once again.

"How long ago did I crash?"

"Oh, about five hours ago. You got caught out in the boiling rains?"

"Boiling rains... A superheated rainstorm?"

"Yeah, that." You plop onto the table next to him, since it's been so conveniently cleared off. "You seem a bit more clear headed now."

"Yes, unfortunately when my horns break it impacts my mental cognition and physical balance. I apologize for any inconvenience I've caused."

"Oh, no it's not really a problem, all you've really taken up is the spare carbon I've got lying around and some bandages." While it's definitely easier to talk to him now, you almost miss the loopy, dazed version of Dex. It was a little adorable.

You both spend some time exchanging questions and answers, now that you can more easily converse. Dex tells you about the recent expedition he'd been on for certain rare materials on another planet in your system, one that you know is perilously radioactive. He admits, with a touch of embarrassment, that he underestimated the equipment he'd need and ended up getting knocked out of hyperspace early and straight into an asteroid belt that knocked out his engines and sent him hurtling to the surface of the nearest planet. He gets very vague when you ask him specifics about the collection job he mentioned, but he does mention collecting plants of some kind. He laments that they've most definitely been destroyed, if not by the crash than definitely by the boiling rains they'd have been exposed to, along with the rest of his cargo.

At this, you excitedly tell him about your own collection of plants and the research you conduct with them. He listens indulgently as you spend more than a few moments regaling him with the fascinating details of your cross pollination experiments and all the exotic and beautiful plants you've grown in your collection. At some points during your ranting, he even cracks the slightest of smiles.

It isn't much longer until he's insisting to go out and see the state of his ship, broken leg be damned.

"You're in no shape to even get near the ship, it's at the bottom of a crater, and the ground down there isn't exactly paved."

"I'll manage." He insists. "Just get me a crutch or something."

You stand firm, arms crossed. "What if I said no?"

His eyes snap to yours, narrowed in challenge. The silence thickens as you stare each other down, before Dex suddenly moves to force himself to his feet, and you rush forward to stop him. It's incredibly distressing to tussle with him like this when you're trying to avoid hurting him further, but his injuries wear him out quickly. He only manages to struggle with you for about a minute before he's laying back on the sofa, jaw clenched and brow furrowed.

"Fine, you win. Just swear to me that you won't go poke around the wreck anymore by yourself. I have a lot of volatile substances on there and their containers have definitely been breached, it wouldn't be safe."

You scoff at the implication that you might be too inexperienced or ill prepared to properly handle dangerous substances, especially coming from the guy that fell out of the sky with said substances, but make the sage decision to not make a fight of it.

"Alright then, I promise not to poke around your ship. As long as you promise not to try to sneak out to it until you're not on the verge of death."

For the first time since he's regained his lucidity, he allows himself to smile broadly as he holds up a hand, pinkie finger extended.

"It's a promise."

Navigating the North Star: Your Guide to Canada Business Visa Requirements

Canada, with its stable economy, robust innovation ecosystem, and diverse market, is an increasingly attractive destination for Indian entrepreneurs and professionals. Whether you're attending a conference, meeting potential partners, or exploring investment opportunities, securing the right business visa is your gateway to the Great White North. This comprehensive guide will walk you through the essential requirements for obtaining a Canadian business visitor visa from India.

Understanding the Canadian Business Visitor Visa

It's crucial to understand that a "business visitor" to Canada is distinct from someone seeking employment. A business visitor comes to Canada to engage in international business activities without entering the Canadian labour market. This means you will not be directly working for a Canadian company or receiving a salary from a Canadian source for your activities in Canada.

Permitted activities for a business visitor typically include:

Attending business meetings, conferences, conventions, or trade fairs.

Buying Canadian goods or services for a foreign business or government.

Taking orders for goods or services.1

Providing after-sales service as part of a warranty or sales agreement.

Being trained by a Canadian parent company2 you work for outside Canada.

Training employees of a Canadian branch of a foreign company.

Conducting site visits or exploring business opportunities.

If your purpose is to work for a Canadian employer or engage in activities that directly impact the Canadian labour market, you may require a different type of permit, such as a work permit.

Key Requirements for Indian Applicants

To be eligible for a Canada business visitor visa (which is a type of Temporary Resident Visa, or TRV), you must satisfy an immigration officer that you:

Have a Valid Travel Document: A passport valid for at least six months beyond your intended period of stay, with sufficient blank pages.

Will Leave Canada at the End of Your Visit: This is paramount. You must demonstrate strong ties to your home country (India) that will compel you to return. This includes property ownership, family ties, stable employment, or ongoing business operations in India.

Have Enough Money for Your Stay: You need to prove you have sufficient funds to support yourself during your visit and for your return journey.

Are Not a Criminal, Security, or Health Risk: You must have a clean criminal record and may be required to undergo a medical examination in some cases.

Essential Documents for Your Application

Meticulous documentation is key to a successful Canadian business visa application. Here's a comprehensive list of documents typically required:

Valid Indian Passport: As mentioned, with adequate validity and blank pages.

Completed Online Application Forms: You'll need to fill out the IMM 5257 (Application for a Temporary Resident Visa) and other relevant forms on the IRCC (Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada) website.

Two Recent Passport-sized Photographs: Meeting Canadian visa photo specifications (usually white background, 80% face visible).

Invitation Letter from Canadian Host: A detailed letter from the Canadian company or organization you intend to visit. This letter should clearly state:

The purpose and duration of your visit.

Your relationship to the host.

Details of who will cover your expenses (accommodation, travel, etc.).

Contact information of the Canadian host.

Cover Letter from Your Indian Company/Yourself (if self-employed):

On company letterhead (if applicable).

Explaining the purpose of your trip, your role, and the benefits of the visit to your Indian business.

Confirming your employment/business ownership.

Proof of Funds:

Bank statements for the last 6 months (stamped and signed by the bank).

Salary slips for the last 3-6 months (if employed).

Income Tax Returns (ITR) for the last 2-3 years.

Other financial documents like Fixed Deposits, property ownership documents.

Proof of Business/Employment in India:

Company registration documents (e.g., Certificate of Incorporation, Partnership Deed).

Business license (if self-employed).

Employment letter from your employer stating your position, salary, and approval for leave.

Travel Itinerary: Confirmed flight bookings (round trip) and hotel reservations.

Travel Insurance: Recommended, though not always strictly mandatory, a good travel insurance policy provides peace of mind.

Previous Travel History: Copies of any previous visas to Canada or other countries, and entry/exit stamps.

Application Process and Fees

Complete Online Application: Fill out all forms accurately on the IRCC website.

Pay Fees: The standard processing fee for a visitor visa is CAD 100 per person.

Biometrics: Most applicants will need to provide biometrics (fingerprints and photo) at a Visa Application Centre (VAC) managed by VFS Global in India. There's an additional biometric fee of CAD 85. This fee is typically paid at the time of your application submission.

Submit Documents: After paying fees and completing forms, you'll submit your documents, often through the VFS Global center.

Passport Submission: If your application is approved, you will receive a notification to submit your passport for visa stamping.

Processing Time: Processing times can vary significantly based on the volume of applications and the completeness of your submission. While some sources suggest an average of 30-45 days for business visas, it's wise to apply well in advance, ideally several months before your planned travel, to account for any unforeseen delays.

Important Considerations

Honesty and Consistency: Provide accurate and consistent information across all your documents and forms. Any discrepancies can lead to delays or rejection.

Purpose Clarity: Clearly articulate the business purpose of your visit and how it aligns with your professional background.

No Work Without a Permit: Reiterate that you understand and will adhere to the condition that you are not permitted to work in Canada without a valid work permit.

By diligently preparing your application and understanding Canada's requirements, Indian entrepreneurs can confidently pursue their global business ambitions in one of the world's most welcoming and prosperous nations.

Quick Stats on Canada Business Visas for Indians

Processing Time: While official IRCC times vary, recent reports suggest visitor visas for Indian tourists can be processed in around 18-19 days. However, for business visitor visas, general visitor visa processing can range from 50-55 days for online applications to 60-65 days for paper applications, and some sources indicate up to 110 working days. Always check the official IRCC website for the most current processing times as they fluctuate.

Visa Validity: A Canada business visitor visa can be granted for up to 10 years or until your passport expires, whichever comes first, allowing for multiple entries. The typical stay duration per visit is up to 6 months.

Approval Rate: While specific business visa approval rates aren't consistently released, overall temporary resident visa approvals for India were significant in early 2025. India accounted for 45.8% of Canada's 834,010 temporary resident applications and extensions (including study, work, and visitor visas) in the first three months of 2025. Recent reports indicate an improvement in visitor visa approval rates compared to earlier periods.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: Can I convert my business visitor visa to a work permit in Canada? A1: No, a business visitor visa is strictly for temporary business activities and does not permit seeking or undertaking employment. You would generally need to apply for a separate work permit from outside Canada if your intent changes.

Q2: Do I need an interview for a Canadian business visa? A2: A mandatory interview is not always required. However, an immigration officer may request one for further clarification on your application.

Q3: What if my Canada business visa is rejected? A3: You'll receive a refusal letter with reasons. You can reapply, but it's crucial to address the reasons for the previous rejection and provide stronger evidence. Visa fees are non-refundable.

Q4: How much money should I show for my stay? A4: While no fixed amount, demonstrate sufficient funds for your expenses. A general guideline is at least CAD 1,000 per month of stay, plus return airfare.

Q5: Can I include family members on my business visa? A5: No, the business visitor visa is for the individual. Family members need to apply for their own separate Temporary Resident Visas (TRVs) as visitors.

Canada Tourist Visa for Indian: A Complete Guide by IRA Immigration

Planning an international getaway? If you're dreaming of breathtaking landscapes, vibrant cities, and multicultural experiences, Canada should be at the top of your travel list. And if you're an Indian citizen, applying for a Canada Tourist Visa for Indian travellers is a smooth and straightforward process—especially when guided by experienced professionals like IRA Immigration.

In this blog, we’ll walk you through everything you need to know about the Canada Tourist Visa for Indian citizens, from eligibility and documentation to why choosing the right immigration consultant makes all the difference.

Why Choose Canada for Your Next Holiday?

Canada is a treasure trove for tourists. Whether you’re excited about the bustling city life of Toronto, the scenic beauty of Banff and Jasper, or the French charm of Montreal, this North American country has something for every type of traveller. The warmth of the people, safety of the environment, and ease of transportation make Canada a perfect destination for solo adventurers, couples, and families alike.

No wonder there's been a rising demand for the Canada Tourist Visa from Indian citizens in recent years!

Understanding the Canada Tourist Visa for Indian Citizens

The Canada Tourist Visa for Indian applicants falls under the category of Temporary Resident Visa (TRV). It allows Indian nationals to visit Canada for tourism, leisure, or to meet friends and family. This visa is usually granted for a period of up to six months, depending on the officer’s discretion and purpose of visit.

The Canada tourist visa does not permit you to work in Canada, but it allows you to explore the country, enjoy local festivals, and spend time with loved ones residing there.

Canada Visitor Visa Requirements: What You’ll Need

Meeting the Canada visitor visa requirements is a crucial part of your application. Here’s a quick checklist:

A valid Indian passport with at least six months of validity.

Recent passport-sized photographs as per IRCC guidelines.

Proof of financial stability (bank statements, ITRs, payslips, etc.).

Travel itinerary including return ticket bookings.

Proof of ties to India (employment letter, family proof, property papers).

Travel insurance coverage.

Cover letter stating the purpose of your visit.

While these are the core Canada visitor visa requirements, the list can vary depending on your personal circumstances. That’s where a trusted immigration consultant like IRA Immigration becomes essential to ensure accuracy and compliance.
