#can he technically be used as a UV lamp?

[rabbitsonthemoon]

Soaking off my nail gel. Definitely did not shape the foil around my fingertips into claws so I could pretend to be Mephiles and make dramatic hand gestures. What a silly idea. I've never commited a shenanigan in my life.

What Does an HVAC Installation Technician Do?

Whether you're looking for a new system or need to repair your existing one, you'll need to hire a qualified HVAC installation technician. An HVAC technician can install new systems and repair duct work. They also install indoor air quality products such as air purifiers and UV lamps. These systems can help improve the quality of your indoor air and help reduce energy costs.

HVAC installers have a variety of skills, including the ability to use ladders, operate heavy equipment, and work in confined spaces. They can be self-employed or employed by a contractor. They may work in commercial settings or in residential settings. They often work under extreme weather conditions, and they have to be careful to avoid electrocution. They also need to be flexible. They may have to make repairs in unexpected situations, such as drywall repair or damaged duct work.

A cooling installation technician has to have a high school diploma and a GED certificate. They may also have an apprenticeship or training. Apprenticeships are a great way to learn on the job, but some employers prefer employees who are certified. HVAC apprenticeships last three to five years. They combine classroom instruction with on-the-job training.

HVAC installation is a complicated process, and the technician you hire should be able to answer any questions you have. Your technician should also explain how the new system will work and how to maintain it. The technician can also recommend several options for you to consider, depending on your budget. It's important to take the time to ask questions. Check out this website at https://www.britannica.com/technology/fire-screen for more info about furnace.

The technician will start by measuring the space in your home where the new system will be installed. They will also check refrigerant levels and troubleshoot any problems that may arise. They may also install a new condenser unit, furnace, or air handler. These units are usually designed to last for many years in a residential setting.

HVAC installation may be more complicated than you think. If your home has ductwork, you will need to clear the area of debris and obstructions. You should also make sure that the ducts are well insulated. This will increase the efficiency of your system. You may also need to install dampers.

You can find HVAC training in vocational schools and community colleges. Some employers require that their employees hold an associate's degree or North American Technical Excellence (NATE) certification. These certifications show employers that the person they hire has the skills to properly install HVAC systems.

You'll want to find a company that has good reviews. You can also ask for references. You can get references from current and former customers. A company that has a good track record is usually willing to share information with you. If you can't find any references, ask the company for a list of customers who have been satisfied with their work. You may also want to check their work to ensure that it's done properly.

You can also use an online cost estimator tool to estimate the costs of an HVAC installation. You'll need to get a few estimates from a variety of fix or repair HVAC specialists. Make sure that your contractor is a licensed contractor, and that he has the proper insurance. Some cities also require permits before you can install an HVAC system.

Read on AO3

Maia Roberts is up to something; he can tell from the mischievous grin on her face and the bounce in her step as she walks into the room and Raphael glances her way.

She drops her backpack by the door and almost skips over to him where he stands by the kitchen counter flipping through the morning’s newspaper. He’s well aware half the news is old by now but with the evening edition’s he once relied on no longer in print he takes what he can get.

He’s an old soul, in some respects still stuck in the ways he once had favored when letterman jackets were all the rage and soda hops were still a thing. He loves the feel of the paper between his fingers, the ink stains the pages leave behind and the smell, not getting his news from a 24-hour news cycle of nonsense on tweet book or whatever people are using nowadays. It’s one of the few old school things he can still hold onto.

Something that being a vampire hasn’t totally affected and changed.

Maia plucks the paper from his hand and he gives her a sharp not nearly as annoyed as he wants it to be look. She just smiles cheekily at him folding the paper up and pushing it aside.

“We are going somewhere special tonight,” she says downright gleeful.

Raphael raises an inquisitive eyebrow. His night is nearly over, the sun will be up in an hours’ time and he values his rest.

“I know, I know,” she says reading his mind in that way that would be unnerving if she were anyone else. “The sun’s almost up, blah, blah, blah. Don’t worry about it, just trust me and grab one of your fancy jackets so we can go.”

“Okay,” Raphael says without question and does just that. Maia smiles at him and grabs his hand as soon as he’s slipped on a gold lined bomber. She pulls him out to the street and tugs him along not bothering to hail a cab.

“Where are you taking me?” he says a little nervously already seeing the sky start to shift. He trusts her implicitly, but the edges of the sun peeking over the horizon always give him pause, especially ever since the incident with Heidi. If it hadn’t been for Isabelle he wouldn’t have gotten to be here now with Maia, his arm about to be pulled from the socket while she eagerly drags him down street.

“You’ll see,” she says dragging him down a few more blocks in silence. She stops in front of a large building that looks abandoned and beams.

She lets go of his hand pulling at the lock on the front door, the chains breaking underneath her strength.

“Oh, so you brought me here to commit a crime,” Raphael says as Maia holds the door open beckoning him in. He goes, his eyes adjusting to the darkness as Maia blocks the door with an old chair.

“No I did not,” she says taking his hand once again pulling him through the darkness and up some stairs he questions the stability of.

“So, this is where you kill me then,” he says as he hits a particularly questionable stair that makes a deafening creaky sound. He’s certain that it will fall out underneath him and is stunned when it doesn’t.

Maia giggles skipping over a step that Raphael chooses to follow suit and do the same.

“No, I am not here to kill you either,” she says her head shaking fondly.

They reach the third-floor busting through a door Maia kicks open with one foot and Maia steps away again flicking a single low light lamp on.

This room is completely different from the other’s the walls actually painted, the floor properly boarded and the windows cleaned. Maia slips a hand to his lower back and guides him forward towards the window.

“Umm, Maia,” he says watching as the sun starts to slip up above the buildings painting the city in tones of orange and yellow.

“Trust me,” she whispers before rushing over to the light to switch it back off. She steps up next to him again twining their fingers together as the sun gets higher in the sky.

If Raphael had a heartbeat he knows it’d be getting faster and faster right now, both from having someone who truly understands him and loves him for all that he is close by and from the twinge of fear he feels as the sun he once loved to feel on his skin gets higher and higher in the sky.

The light starts pouring in on the hardwood floor at their feet and he instinctively takes a step back his fangs showing, a hiss slipping from his lips.

Maia holds tight to his hand keeping him in place and keeping him calm.

“It’s okay,” she says calm and clear. The sun touches his feet and then continues to move up and up until it’s touching the bare skin of his hands. He doesn’t flinch this time trusting Maia’s hold on him.

He stares down at where the sun touches his hand in disbelief. Before he can even question it the sun has fully risen, the light touching his neck, his face, his hair.

He can almost, just almost feel the warmth of it on his skin. Can almost remember the touch of a sunrise with little Rosa sitting at his feet asking him all about the beautiful face she believed lived inside the sun.  

He stares out the window for a moment, then turns his eyes to Maia who’s already looking at him a smile on her lips the sun bouncing in her warm brown eyes and catching on the little silver clips in her tight braids.

She’s as transcendent as the sun itself.

“How?” he asks in awe.

Her smile just grows wider. “UV windows, they’re technically still in the experimentation phase and haven’t been fully approved by anyone, but I called Magnus and he called a friend who knew a guy, who said he could put one in for him as a tester.”

Raphael turns back to the window stepping closer tentatively lifting a hand and laying it on the glass.

“He’s a mundane so we couldn’t exactly explain the situation and he’d only do it somewhere non-commercial or residential like this since it’s kinda illegal, but he still got it done,” she says leaning up against the glass beside him. “Now since marine biology is my science of choice, I don’t get it exactly, but I know the UV rays can be seen, but can’t pass through. They’ll keep you completely safe.”

He turns to her again a smile on his face, his hand still pressed to the glass.

He never thought he’d feel the sun again, not like this, not in a safe way. Not with her by his side. He always thought the closest he’d come to sunshine again would be her smile.

“Maia, I-“ he doesn’t know what to say. I love you. I can’t believe you made this happen. I can’t believe Magnus managed to keep it a secret. I feel human again in moments like this, in moments with you. It all feels like too much and not enough so he just settles for pulling her close tipping his head to her temple affectionately and pressing a kiss to her head.

“We can come back for the sunset too, or we can stay here all day and just bask in it,” Maia says leaning her head on his shoulder. He keeps one hand tight around her shoulders the other still pressed at the glass feeling just a taste of the warmth of the sun through the thick pane.

“Thank you,” he whispers eyes staring into the brightness not caring if it starts to hurt. Not caring if when he turns away he’ll see little sunspots everywhere.

“You’re welcome,” she whispers back wrapping both her arms around his waist, keeping him as warm as the sunshine can. They stay there comfortably quiet, pressed close to one another with the sunshine beaming in.

Pregnancy, Birth, Postpartum, and Baby Time! (TMI warning) - Part 02

In Part 01 I went over the truths about being pregnant. Now that the nine (really ten) months are over... Labor and Postpartum begins.

Labor and Postpartum Truths: 1) Not being able to eat sucks once you're admitted into the hospital. You seriously only get ice water like they say online. So make your last meal one that can hold you out until after birth. 2) Contractions feel like really bad period cramps. I'm sure there's some women who feel them worse, but that's all I got on the topic. I was numb for them most of the time. 3) To induce labor, at least for me, they shoved this "shoelace" thing up my you-know-what. As I said before, I was swollen down there, so any time my cervix was checked I was in a lot of pain, and this thing was no different. 4) Hospital rooms are not quiet. Between hearing everyone outside at the nursing station to the beeping in your room, you also have constant visits from nurses when all you wanna do is rest because you're basically waiting for labor to begin. 5) Water breaking isn't a "oh hey I think I peed myself". No. It's like a queef then GUSH and it doesn't stop until you and your bed are soaked. 6) Catheters are handy when you are bed rest and drinking gallons of water. Also, you get one when you get the epidural. Which they don't really tell you until the epidural is offered. 7) Take the epidural if you don't want to experience a natural and painful birth. I felt no pain leading up to labor. I did however feel a shit ton of pain when the pain relief ran out. They tell you it's because labor is all in your back - this excuse is bullshit. I was in so much pain when that shit wore off that my husband said my labor pain face didn't match this one. Once they take the tube out of your back, the pain fades away. But my back still hurts in that spot even as I type this. The pain in the spine also lingers after giving birth. Almost like you need your back seriously cracked. 8) The epidural needle doesn't really hurt if your pain tolerance is high for stuff like this. It's a pinch. What you do feel that is considered almost like a quick throbbing pain is when the fluid is injected. It's like a small punch to your back. 9) Projectile vomit will most likely occur. All the gallons of water you consumed waiting for labor will come projecting out of you before you go into active labor. Be glad your head doesn't start spinning. I up chucked three times and had to have myself redressed and my bedding changed out. 10) Some labor beds have built in handles to assist with labor. See if yours does. They helped a lot. 11) I tore two tiny spots inside my VJ giving birth. They stick a numbing agent where they see you'll be tearing, so that's cool and all - you'll feel it when you start being mobile again. BTW, some women tear bigger. Luckily my baby was only 7lbs. 12) You may not know your labor doctor. I met mine briefly the day before at my doctor's office, but never before that. Don't feel shy about being exposed in front of them though, they do this for a living. 13) Speaking of being shy. I am a prude with my body. I don't want people checking out my ass or having my nipples poking through my shirt on a cold day but all of this goes out the window when you're in the hospital to give birth and here's why. One: this is the doctor and nurse's job. They see boobs, ass, and vagina every day. And two: you're giving birth - who TF cares what you look like. 14) Pushing a baby out is not like pushing pee out. It's like taking the biggest shit of your life. You push with your asshole. Literally. And it causes hemorrhoids and for your ass to hurt WEEKS after giving birth. (Do yourself a favor and get some fiber enriched foods because pooping is not easy it pain free.) 15) Those home videos of the women giving birth don't exist anymore. It's pretty much illegal. I guess people were blackmailing the mother. Idk. That's what my nurse said. But they give you a big ass mirror to watch the birth of your baby so that's really cool. 16) Hospitals offer photographs of your newborn (unless you gave birth in 2020). It's usually expensive and I would've done it too if they offered. My husband got amazing shots of our daughter which I cropped out to make that oval baby picture our parents in the 80s got. 17) Taking pictures of your baby in the nursery is a big no no. I wish I could've seen my baby under the UV lamp with her glasses on to fix her jaundice, but I was bedridden with the pre-eclampsia. Hubby saw her though. He says she was just chilling while all the other babies were crying their heads off. FYI, the reason you can't take pictures is because of the other babies in there. They're not yours. You don't have the right to photograph them even if your baby is mixed in and she's the only one you want the picture of. 18) I wasn't told this until it came time... But they push your belly and I mean in your belly button and hard. They check if your uterus is shrinking and returning in place. (Breastfeeding helps it go faster.) This pushing hurts like a mofo. Seriously. And they don't care if you're in pain from, oh idk - THE EPIDURAL WEARING OFF! They are required to check. 19) My friend told me this which I think is important to know... When you're doped up on pain meds before birth or if you're having a really hard time during the labor process (time  you entered hospital to when the baby pops out), have someone with you. Have that person listen to the words coming out of the doctor and nurse's mouths. My friend didn't and took meds they gave her and was devastated when her baby came out gray and on the edge of death. She didn't know what they gave her or what they said about the meds. If she did, she would've known this would be the outcome of her child's birth (baby lived btw. He just graduated high school last year!) 20) Labor and Delivery nurses are freaking awesome. Postpartum nurses not so much... 21) The hospital food really isn't that bad. At least, it wasn't where I stayed. I had choices for breakfast, lunch, and dinner too! 22) Nurses can't technically tell you no to taking the baby to the nursery. Yes you need bonding time with your baby, but you also need rest. 23) The chair that pulls out into a bed for your partner is uncomfortable af. They have cots. Ask for one. 24) I couldn't have visitors. Make sure you don't either. It's nice. You don't gotta worry about appearance or staying awake for your guest. Birth is about you and your baby (and partner) and the time you have with them. Your guest can wait till you get home. 25) Back to the heartburn and hairy babies talk. This isn't really a myth. My baby came out with a full head of hair, hair on her ears, and fuzz all over her shoulders and back. At a month old it's going away, but that head of hair is real. And so was that heartburn!! 26) Bleeding after birth is like having your period back, but it goes on and on. It changes colors and has a gross smell to it. And wearing a pad again SUCKS! I do have to say though... That mesh underwear they give you is freaking awesome. I want some for my daily wear. 27) For a week or two, I felt like I was punched in the cooch. Walking hurt, getting up hurt, even bathing hurt (no baths until you heal btw, so I showered). Even now, a month later, I still feel pain down there when sitting a certain way (like Indian style). But what do I expect? A freaking baby was pushed out of me!! 28) After the six week heal time is up, don't expect sex to go back to normal. It still hurts for me but this time because of the bruising and stitches. 29) When it's time for sex, lube up. Breastfeeding and hormones still rampant don't assist in easy glide ins (if you know what I mean). 30) When the milk comes in, your boobs get bigger, harder, and start to ache. Feed feed feed or feed and pump. It's the only way to fix it. And don't be surprised when you wake up and your bed is stained with milk puddles because you're still sleeping naked to easily feed your little one at night. My side of the bed is disgusting, but ce la vie! It comes with the territory (like lack of sleep). 31) Also, sleeping on your side with milk filled boobs is not easy. It hurts. Go back to sleeping on your back because belly sleeping isn't comfortable either. 32) Everything you buy or received for your baby screams suffocation with it's warning labels. Don't let it get you paranoid like it did for me. Learn your babies habits and go with your instincts. They also sell baby breathing monitors that alert you if the baby stops breathing. 33) Outfits are cute and irresistible, but try to resist buying those newborn clothes. My baby grew out of them all within three weeks and wore only half of the clothes we had. Also, buy larger clothes - season conscious - that way you're ready when the baby starts growing out of their clothes. We had hardly any 3 month PJs, now her closet is over packed... 34) The baby may not sleep in their crib or bassinet right away. My girl would rather be on me or my husband than a cold bed. Seriously. They want your baby sleeping with nothing but a fitted mattress that's cold and a swaddle or wearable blanket. My baby hates swaddles and kicked too much with the wearable blanket. She sleeps with me for easy feeding and comfort - for me and her. I don't sleep much but slowly I've been getting my Z's and during the day I put her in the bassinet on her belly because I can watch her and she's amazing with that head support already. When she doesn't feed every 2-3 hours, she'll be spending more time on her own in her bed. So don't be discouraged if it's not working for you. It will happen. Just takes time. 35) Sound machine was a waste of a gift. Our phones have sound effects we can tune into. Google Home and Alexa even offer it. My baby doesn't like it, she'd rather listen to us or the TV. Also she doesn't like the dark until she's actually sleeping. She loves bright lights. They tell you the opposite online. 36) If your boobs are small, don't bother getting the shirts where you pull your boob through a window because it won't work. The shirts with the clip that drops to expose the breast are the best. Amazon has great prices and quality shirts on this. My one from Kohl's broke after wearing four times. 37) I really don't think those smiles are gas like they claim it to be. Sure some are. But when your kid smiles without passing gas, they're smiling because they're happy/content. 38) You'll probably end up missing your belly bump the first few weeks like I did. I kept thinking she was still in there. I mean, it's nine months carrying a creature in you. You get used to it. And lastly... 35) You get what you wished for. Any time I talked about having babies, I said keywords on what I wanted: a beautiful, healthy, happy, and smart baby. And I got just that. === So there it is. My journey, my tips, and my nitty gritty of it all of just pregnancy, labor, and postpartum alone!! There is so much more to being a mother; and that will continue in my part 03,04,05,etc to come. IDK how many there will be, only time will tell.

I will continue to update Part 01 and Part 02 when I remember more things.

As Part 03 is conjuring, I would like to say congrats if you're pregnant or gave birth already; and good luck if you're trying.

Tips To Select A Professional Company For Window Tinting

Window tinting Campbelltown is a thin, transparent, protective laminate film applied to windows in cars and boats and to the interiors or exteriors of other glass surfaces like houses and buildings. It has the same purpose as any window tinting job in that it protects the surface from direct sunlight and any UV rays. But the window tinting does not cover the entire window, but only a small section at the upper part of the window.

Window tints may vary according to the type of window. Windows made up of plastic, metal or other transparent materials do not have much scope for tinting. However, windows made of wood and glass have a great deal of freedom in choosing a color and design of the window tints. The vinyl window tinting is another popular type of window tinting that is available on the market. This type of window tinting has a special adhesive strip used for applying to a window and the window tinting also has an adhesive backing that allows the window tinting to be removed easily when required.

Many companies undertake window tinting jobs, as this is the most cost effective method for protecting the windows. Most companies charge a minimum fee for the window tinting job which includes installation and removal of the tint after the project is completed. However, there are other companies that offer affordable tinting services at affordable prices for their clients.

When we talk about window tinting, one should always remember that the material used in the tinting process needs to be of high quality as it will not be able to withstand the high temperatures that are present during the treatment process. If the material used in the tinting process is of low quality, the treatment process may not last long enough for the window to get its full protection.

Before undertaking a window tinting job, it is important for the client to check the requirements of the company and also check the work that they have done in the past. Most companies require that the customer should give the company a sample of the window tinting which needs to be approved by them before the work begins.

There are many different methods and techniques which are used in window tinting. These methods include the application of adhesive to ensure that the window is covered completely, using a UV lamp for curing the tints and also through chemical processes. The cost of the work depends entirely upon the kind of window tinting process chosen. The cost of the work depends entirely upon the type of window tinting used, the location and on the number of people involved in the job and the size of the window.

Companies offering the services also differ in the extent of work that they undertake. Some companies only undertake work related to window tinting while other companies undertake a wide range of work from the window tinting to window shades and other specialized types of tinting. Some companies undertake the complete window tints while some companies only undertake window coverings and other kinds of job.

As there are various types of companies, you should always keep in mind that the best option for the customer is always to go for a company that offers all services from installation, removal and finishing to repair or replacement. Companies that work only on glass windows will be able to provide you with better service and at a competitive price, whereas a company that works on the whole windows will be more expensive.

You should also ensure that the company you are hiring is capable of performing the installation part of the job. You should also make sure that the company you are hiring has an expert technical team that will be able to handle your case in the most efficient manner. Even after you have hired a company, you should ensure that they are able to handle your case efficiently and professionally.

If the client has opted for the window tinting, then it is important for him to take the help of a good company that can offer the best quality of window tinting. at the most competitive price.

The first step that should be taken by the customer when he is looking for a professional company for the tinting work is to make sure that the company is a registered and certified company. You should also ensure that the company is a member of the National Association of Window Tinting Specialists.

For the Halloween Prompt:

Should Percival be Antony or Julius Caesar to Credence’s Cleopatra? Alternately, Credence is Antony.

[Warning: minor scene of Credence/Grindelwald attempted noncon, defined as a creepy pass of pressuring.]

Grad school is kicking my ass so I’ve literally only managed to push all this out. It’s completely unedited and unrevised, so I apologize – but I’m way past the deadline so I feel like I need to get something out to you! I’ll probably go back over this during winter break [hopefully by then I’ll be able to focus on all this writing instead of thesis and platform and portfolio writings instead].

Annual Humanities Division Halloween Haunt!

The garish orange was blinding against the dark black background of the gaudy poster and made his eyes hurt. Furry brown bat cut outs clashed against the construction paper, fluttering off the sides as a silver cauldron of green bubbles frothed and spilled along the bottom edge. It was a horrifying eye sore – with several others posted up and down the corridor, garish pieces slathered together as if an embodiment of the holiday itself threw up all over the walls of the hallway. He had spotted a few others in the other buildings as well, dangling off community boards and hanging precariously next to unsuspecting classroom doors. He had even caught a glimpse of similar atrocities draped in the café he visited on his morning coffee run – how anything managed to make its way through the hidden labyrinths to the sacred depths of the hallowed Arts basement was anyone’s guess. No doubt there were more littering the upper levels of the Literature department as well.

But it did its job, at the very least – it pulled focus, enticing the grad students suffering through the mid semester slog of research to take a break and join the holiday festivities. It was exactly why Modesty had done up his face with a flourish of glittery makeup and shoved him out the door before taking off to her own undergraduate party with friends from her OChem class.

Friends.

Apparently he needed those.

Dress code: Recognizable historic / literary figures!

None of those awful stereotypes! No appropriation allowed!

Be creative, not boring!

The encouragement had been tacked on underneath the poster, pinned to the door of the large house across from the library on campus – a mindful afterthought that hadn’t managed to make its way to the other posters. The vivid exclamation points made his heart shudder in his chest, turning the blood in his veins to ice as his palms began to sweat.

Go as Cleopatra, snag yourself a king, Chastity suggested. She had forced him into an awful thing: a white jumpsuit made to imitate layers of linen – a “modern take” on the Prince Of Egypt adaption the Theater department had developed into an experimental straight play. He hadn’t been able to see it, but the outfits Chastity had worked on were nothing short of amazing. How she snuck one back from the mysterious void of the storage rooms, he would rather not know.

[“I made them. It’s only fair.”]

Modesty had straightened his hair, setting a golden circlet in the shape of a snake upon his brow and settling half a dozen wiry gold bracelets across his arms and wrists. She had even gone the extra mile to paint his eyes – deep, shadowy kohl and bright, vibrant blue. He was pretty sure the design was based on Elizabeth Taylor, not actual hieroglyphics. Someone was bound to tell him off – if not for the improper design, then at the very least for the fact that he was some pale pasty white kid decked out in ridiculously vague allusions to ancient Egyptian attire.

It was a nightmare, and he hadn’t even stepped through the doors yet.

But it was too late. A loud and rambunctious group of students rambled up, hands blindly reaching for the door as they raucously giggled at each other. Shrinking away, he couldn’t avoid being jumbled up into the widespread wall of costumed bodies, tossed out into the fray of the party inside. The music was blaring, a cacophony of stilted techno thumping against the walls as a woman droned in a shouted monotone. It was dark, the only lights coming from glow-in-the-dark stickers flung across the sparse bits of furniture and glow-in-the-dark paint splattered across the walls, dim purple UV lights strung up against the crown molding of the ceiling seams. It was tacky and disorienting. Trying not to stumble into some sanctimonious argument of Dracula vs. Lestat and the merits of the Cullen family, he quickly stepped into the next room.

This room was a bit brighter, though just as awkwardly decorated. Several table lamps were placed strategically in the corners and beside cheap beige chenille couches, covered in gauzy red scarves that threw the room into a bloody shade of red. Speakers were hidden beneath the tables, droning out strange atmospheric noises of wallowing and wails, reedy whistling of a nonexistent wind eerily pressing around the room. The Poe atmosphere was effective, but it had to be a fire hazard of sorts – though none of the occupants seemed to care. There was a heavy scent of smoky incense, curling wisps creeping against the darkened corners. He attempted to hide within such an alcove, tentatively sidestepping toward one such area to get a better view of the room, when a hand shot out to grab his wrist.

“Are you Cleopatra?” He spun around, coming face to face with a sturdy young woman assessing him curiously. Her short hair was done in a thick braid that barely reached her shoulders, and a plastic bow was slung unevenly across her back, the string pressing against her chest.

“Yes?” he answered warily. This was it – he was going to get yelled at, he was going to get kicked out, he was going to get –

“Great! We’ve been looking for a Cleopatra. I’m Tina – History department.” She grabbed his hand without warning, dragging him toward a corner by a tall bookshelf. “You?”

“Credence,” he said faintly, wondering why she of all people would need a Cleopatra. “Literature.”

“Even better! That’s his department too!” Before he could ask for clarification he was being welcomed into a small circle of loitering students huddled together over a book. Of course.

“It’s Minimalism. Its short, its ordinary, its mundane. The man is on an escalator for the entirety of the story,” the shorter man groused, crossing his arms over his chest with a huff.

“Its Maximalist! It’s a long rambling piece of nonsense full of digressive dribble!” a chubbier man exclaimed, waving his hands about enthusiastically. The first rolled his eyes.

“You aren’t even studying modern literature – “

“Post modern literature, Percy!” an energetic redhead crowed, easily slinging an arm over his shoulders. “And anyway, who cares? Where’s the fun in being stuck on an elevator? Now being stuck in Croatia – “

“Teeny!” A blonde woman shoved her way between the two, pretending she hadn’t interrupted such an important discussion as she pulled the strange woman that had kidnapped him to the other side of the circle. “Oh! You found one!”

Credence glanced at them nervously.

“Hello!” another redhead piped up. “That’s a wonderful outfit – a male Cleopatra, brilliant idea!”

“Thank you?”

“Perfect for our Marc Antony!” They pointed to The Minimalist, dressed in a deep brown leather chest plate – supple and buttery, shining smoothly as it hugged his form in all the right places. Gold paint swirled in intricate patterns threading between the golden rivets piercing the pieces together, matching the red wrist guards clasped on his arms and the thick red pteruges strips layered against his thighs, strands of golden fringe flickering as he moved. He wasn’t a history major, so he couldn’t judge the accuracy, but it was an impressive outfit that lovingly emphasizes the wonderfully sculpted ripples of muscle outlining his body.

“Percival Graves,” The Minimalist introduced himself, offering a hand.

“Credence Barebone,” he replied, allowing his hand to be taken into a gentle but firm handshake.

“This is Tina, Newt, and Theseus as our local Katniss, Peeta, and Gale,” the blonde woman continued. “My name is Queenie, and this is Jacob – “

“Hephaestus and Aphrodite,” the cheerful man cut in adoringly, grinning up at her like a lovestruck fool.

“Nice to meet you.”

“So what are you studying?” Newt asked curiously.

“Reformation literature.” Credence shifted, unsure of their reaction.

“Like – religious stuff? All that Milton and Pilgrim’s Progress?” Theseus prompted.

“I – well, technically.” Credence shrugged. “I study Reformation comedies. Like – the Country Wife. It’s a – little more – controversial.”

“Is that code for raunchy and promiscuous?” Theseus teased, waggling his eyebrows and laughing loudly as Jacob snorted. His brother – at least, Credence presumed they were related, given their matching appearance – elbowed him sharply in the ribs.

“Play nice,” Tina reprimanded with a frown, before turning her attention back to him. “My sister and I study modern history. I study counter cultural movements in America during the 1970s and 1980s, and my sister studies the impact of ethnic studies in education.”

“They’re with us!” Newt clarified. “I study the effects of nature on city development, and my brother here is studying the Balkan Wars.”

“I tried to convince Percy to join me, but he stuck with his boring post modern literature,” Theseus lamented.

“Modern literature,” Percival corrected. Theseus waved him off.

“What’s your opinion on it?”

“I – “ Credence flustered, unsure how to answer such a vague question correctly without disappointing any of them.

“Ignore him. He isn’t worth it,” Percival insisted, slipping his hand against Credence’s elbow. “Why don’t we go grab a bite to eat – let him gather his manners?”

Percival threw a reprimanding glare at the man, who cackled in response. Credence could feel the heat of Percival’s hand drifting to press against his lower back, carefully maneuvering him toward what he could only presume was a kitchen. It was comforting, if a bit embarrassing. He felt a shiver trailing down his spine.

The kitchen itself was a travesty that also made him shudder – fluffy white clouds of fake spider webbing cascading across the dining table in billowing curtains, plastic spiders dangling precariously in squished upon droves. Punch bowls and jello molds upon the table held all sorts of mismatched creepy crawlers – worms, octopus’, skeletons. Chain link centipedes were plastered to the cupboards, preschool levels of artwork sloppily thrown together. Cheap junk food haphazardly thrown into grotesque displays were crammed to cover every inch of available counter space. The Art department would have a field day with such an eyesore.

At least it smelled clean – the sharp scent of fake pine and a lingering undertone of bleach creeping through the atmosphere.

“What would you like – pretzels and chips?” Percival asked dryly, raising an eyebrow at the sad excuse for food as he peered over the offerings. He leaned over a gelatin mold, wrinkling his nose in disgust. “You think they would get a little creative with the goods.”

“Picquery set up the good stuff in the upstairs office room,” someone called out behind them. They turned to see a young man in a bright blue sweater and dull orange pants grimacing as he tried to pluck a lego Cthulhu from his scoop of jello. “Abecedarians!”

“Think you should have gone with Captain Haddock if you’re using such language, Abernathy,” Percival tutted, twining his fingers with Credence’s and leading him out of the room. “Of course Sera set up her own area – come on then, she knows what she’s doing, most of the time.”

They weaved in and out of the crowd, clambering up the stairs to the second floor. There were no Halloween decorations, though there was quite a bit of commotion coming from the last room. They quickly made their way in.

Credence was pleasantly surprised to find far more tasteful decorations and treats displayed. Carved pumpkins sat grinning on either end of the lace covered table, smaller painted ones lining the tops of bookshelves. Fairy lights shaped like bats hung in loops along the walls, while a colony of paper ones spread in flight across the ceiling Fake candles were placed between books on shelves and cascaded from corners, illuminating white skulls and gray gargoyles peeking out of the shadows. The corner seams were filled with thin, knotty sticks and black vines, black roses artfully tacked onto them. Even the food was themed – a chocolate cake set like a graveyard with marshmellow skeletons, hot dogs wrapped in crisped biscuits like mummies, chocolate cookies slathered in icing with finely cut strawberries and blueberries set to look like eyes. There were so many twisted and grotesque foods Credence could hardly keep track.

“Percival, how nice of you to show up.” A tall woman slid up next to them, draped in deep red and white folds of a dress, a copper sword strapped to her back. He hair was wrapped in a shimmering metallic scarf to match. She stood proud and regal, scrutinizing Credence with a keen eye.

“Abernathy was singing your praises downstairs,” Percival said with nonchalance, pulling Credence to his side. He slung an arm around his shoulders – made slightly problematic, given the height difference neither had noticed. “Your department has outdone itself yet again.”

“Flattery will get you nowhere, Graves. Who’s your lovely Cleopatra?”

“Credence Barebone, English department – Reformation period. Who are you supposed to be tonight?”

“Oya, Yoruba goddess of storms. Does Credence Barebone know how to answer for himself?” she shot back, eyeing Percival with disdain. Credence settled himself, ducking his head in a way that gave an appearance of submission, but tilting it in a way that could also imply a challenge. He had plenty of practice in meek deference, but refused to waver under some stranger’s judgment.

“What do you study?” he asked – an innocent enough question, on the surface. She lifted her head, catching his game, a faint smile gracing her face as she turned her attention back to him.

“Remixed classical art. My current thesis is on the impact of Kehinde Wiley and Harmonia Rosales have on the interpretation of traditional pieces in a modern context of racial perspective. Have you heard of them?”

“Ah – no,” Credence admitted, shifting uncomfortably. She flashed her teeth, a wide smile too sharp and dangerous to be friendly. Like lightning – beautiful, but able to shred a man to pieces.

“Shame.” She turned back to Percival. “Do try the werewolf brains – the paper mache was quite an effort.”

Credence kept his head down as he watched her leave, a swirling hurricane of wild force that commanded the room. A trio of girls in the doorway parted for her like the Red Sea, giggling in awe as she strode past. A friend of Percival’s and a force to be reckoned with, and he had just blundered the whole first impression away.

“Never mind her,” his Antony said, nonchalant as he snagged a plate from the edge of the table. “We were going to open up a law firm together, once upon a time. She’s still a bit bitter we didn’t pass our LSAT.”

“We?”

“Theseus too. And Tina.” He picked at the food, taking small scoop of gelatinous brain, red food coloring dripping from the spoon. “Speaking of Theseus and Tina, what should we bring back to them?”

Credence tilted his head, nitpicking at the edge of his own plate.

“The – um – spider crackers?”

“No, come on – pick something you actually want. And please don’t say the caprese eyeballs.”

Credence studied the array on spread before them, a feast of holiday goods for the taking. His gaze settled upon a collection of cookies, dark chocolate brownies cut into circles, a dollop of sprinkle covered crème upon it, a coned chocolate kiss settled gently on top.

“The witch hats.” Percival shot him a crooked grin, wryly amused.

“A good choice.” Credence watched as Percival piled food upon the plate, bits and pieces of everything stacked high. Rather than following suit, he quietly left his plate on the corner. “Ready to head back down?”

“I need to find a bathroom.” They started back out the door, Credence trailing behind. He watched others pass by, laughing and nudging each other as they walked up and down the stairwell.

“Bathroom should be on your left.” He was pointed down a long side hallway, where several people lingered. “Come find us again when you’re done.”

The line was taking forever. He shuffled from foot to foot, beginning to grow impatient as he waited. Perhaps it would have been better to have simply gone back to the corner with his new found friends. Could they be considered friends yet? At the rate it took to get into the bathroom, perhaps they would think he had ditched them. It would have been better if only he had stayed –

A hand fell upon his shoulder, squeezing tightly.

“Well aren’t you a cute little thing.” Credence turned around, shrinking away. Before him stood a tall man with pale hair and paler eyes, decked in a toga and crowned with laurel. A Caesar – what were the odds of that?

“My apologies, where are my manners. Gellert Grindelwald – assistant professor for the modern literature department.” The man took Credence’s hand, bowing as he placed a kiss upon his knuckles. Old fashioned and uncomfortable, to say the least. “And to whom do I owe the pleasure of such a beautiful Cleopatra?”

He squirmed away, twisting out of Gellert’s grip.

“Credence,” he answered reluctantly, not wanting to be impolite. Yet his hand continued to roam, tracing across his shoulder and down his back.

“Credence. A lovely name for a lovely face. What’s a beautiful thing like you doing at a party like this, hm? Who did you come with?”

“No one.” He could feel the bottom of his stomach drop at the honest admission. The hand clawed at his belt, eager and excited.

“Oh? Perhaps you’d like some company then?”

“I’d rather not,” Credence admitted, still trying to move away. Gellert just moved closer, crowding into his space.

“A pity. Does that mean you have company here?”

“Yes, actually.”

“I can promise you I am much more entertaining than anyone else you’d meet here.”

Credence fidgeted, unsure what to do. Gellert continued to croon, attempting to convince him to leave. Several moments later, with panic flooding his veins and pulsing beneath his skin, itching to get away, he caught the eyes of his knight – his gladiator, his Antony. Gellert turned to track his line of sight, displeased at such a distraction. His face contorted with fury and disgust when he realized who was headed their way. With a sneer, he grasped the collar of Credence’s outfit, the strain on the outfit almost enough to tear it apart.

“I could ruin him,” Gellert hissed harshly into his ear. “I could ruin all of you. Now play along like a good little boy.”

The two wandered over, Percival standing tall and menacing and in need of a dramatic flair of a cape, while Theseus brooded behind with a sharp glare.

“Credence. We were wondering where you’d had gotten off to,” Percival started, leveling a cold tone as he stared unblinkingly at Gellert.

“Didn’t realize you got stuck with this asshole,” Theseus started, crossing his arms over his chest.

“He isn’t – that bad,” Credence attempted.

“He’s a fucking asshole who gets off on torture porn,” Percival growled, glaring furiously at Gellert.

“Now Percy darling, just because I didn’t invite you back to my little dungeon last Christmas – “ Gellert drawled, voice dripping with sarcasm.

“Fuck off, you prick,” Theseus interrupted loudly, shoving Percival to the side. “Leave the kid alone.”

Credence felt Gellert’s fingers dig into his back, nails scratching through the fabric. The hand clawed at his skin tightly – painfully. Credence stood as still as he possibly could, thinking of the cold marble statues outside the library, tall and unfeeling.

“He’s hardly a child,” Gellert pointed out. “What do you think, Credence – would you rather be off with these foolhardy Neanderthals, or continue our lovely conversation, hm?”

His body was frozen, heavy like lead, unable to move. He stared unblinking at the floor, wishing to be anywhere else. A beat of silence, and Theseus huffed in annoyance, nudging Percival as he turned and left. Percival frowned, but followed after, figuring it to be a lost cause. He glanced back once more, dark eyes piercing through the dim light, but Credence held his head down. Perhaps if he stayed quiet, Gellert would get bored –

“See, what did I tell you?” Gellert trailed his hand down, soft and gentle as it caressed the thin fabric of his outfit. Gellert’s face drifted closer, voice dropping several octaves into a whisper. “Now, where were we? I do believe you were about to tell me of this young Margery – “

His body blocked the hallway, and Credence shrunk back, plastering himself against the wall. Another hand found its way to his waist, a hand settling against it and sweeping downward.

In a fit of panic, Credence lashed out. His mind blanked, nerves firing too fast to keep up. Within seconds, he had shoved Gellert into the wall, pinning him there with a hand wrapped around the man’s neck. He felt wild with the adrenaline rushing through his veins as an overwhelming tempest of fear and rage tore through his bloodstream. His hand twitched and tightened against the pale column of Gellert’s throat.

“Come now, Credence,” Gellert rasped, both hands wrapping around Credence’s wrist. “Control yourself.”

“I don’t think I want to,” Credence growled, pushing harder against him. He could still feel the creeping tremors twisting against his skin, an unsettling film of disgust plastered against his body, seeping beneath his costume and into his bones.

“Mr. Barebone.” His head snapped to the side, locking eyes with none other than Seraphina Picquery herself. Her face was stone still as she took in the scene, mouth a firm line. “Perhaps it’s time you take your leave.”

Anger burned through him, a fierce spark of vengefulness blazing into a firestorm against his ribs. In a burst of blinding fury, he slammed Gellert’s head back into the wall, releasing him as he crumpled to the ground, clawing at his throat as he gasped for breath. Credence shuddered, face twisting as he snarled before shoving past Seraphina, a dark cloud bolting for the door. She watched him go, then turned her attention back to Gellert. The man smirked, chuckling under his breath.

“He’s a miracle, isn’t he?”

“Get out before I call the cops on you,” she sneered, rounding her shoulders back as she turned to the main room. “Everyone out! This party is over.”

Credence made his way to the library, the cold air biting through the whirlwind of his emotions and leaving him feeling like a naked, helpless child. Horror slithered across his skin, twined in the breeze that slid through the thin white linen hanging off of him. He stumbled into the bushes, heaving as he dropped to his knees. He blindly fumbled for his phone, dragging his body up against the brick wall of the library. His shoulder pressed against the rough stone, part of his outfit snagging against it.

Hey Cree. Chastity picked me up and took me to some haunted house they’re doing. We’re staying with Eve and the crew tonight. Hope you had fun!

He leaned heavily against the wall, swallowing hard. If he went home, he would be alone – the very last thing he wanted to be. But it wasn’t like he had anywhere else to go. He didn’t have friends, didn’t have pets, didn’t have anyone waiting for him to keep the vivid memory of hands creeping up his thigh and words whispered in his ear as the world closed in on him in the darkness –

“Credence?”

His head snapped up, eyes widening as he spotted none other than Percival, stopped on the walkway before him. He craned his head and saw the others making their way across the square on the other side of the street, laughing obnoxiously as Tina and Queenie burst into song. It looked as though they had taken their leave as well – the party dying down as the clock struck midnight, as it were. Which meant that Gellert –

Another wave of nausea had him doubling over, though his body seemed to be done with even attempting to dry heave. A bout of dizziness struck him, his hands gone clammy, body shaking apart. The next thing he knew was a distorted shuffling as a pair of sandals made their way into his view.

“Credence, are you alright?” A hand made its way toward his shoulder, and he flinched.

“Alright, it’s okay,” Percival assured, taking a step back. “Take your time. Here, try to match your breathing with my counting, alright?”

His mind was whirling far too fast, skipping over the numbers being listed as he tried to think of what to do. One, Percival was here, trying to calm him down, three, but why, he had left Percival, five, had gone off with Gellert, surely Percival hated him, eight, thought less of him, ten, wanted nothing to do with him, eleven, but maybe he could redeem himself, twelve, that’s why Percival was here for him, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen…

Slowly, Credence managed to come back to himself. Percival watched with a careful eye as the young man brought himself back from hyperventilating, steadily regaining his awareness. After a few more moments, once Percival had calmly made his way to thirty, Credence straightened himself, though he still refused to look up.

“Thanks,” he whispered, voice rough from – whatever had happened.

“Do you want to tell me what that was about?” Percival prompted, not bothering to skirt around the issue. He was worried, of course, and wanted to know – so he wasn’t going to ignore it. Better to be blunt. But if Credence didn’t want to talk, he wouldn’t push.

“It was – “ Credence glanced up from behind his fringe of hair, wary like a caged animal.

“You don’t have to say anything,” Percival assured with a shrug. There was a beat of silence as Credence assessed the situation.

“Gellert tried to – do things.” Percival frowned, gritting his teeth as he surveyed the area in hopes to find the man walking by. What he wouldn’t do to punch that smug bastards face in –

“It’s my fault. I – I should have listened to you.”

Percival placed his hand upon his back, a solid weight and comforting warmth that guided him back to the walkway.

“Do you live with anyone?” he asked. He bit his lip, shaking his head. “I’m going to give you some options, alright? Would you like me to walk you home and stay with you, or would you like to come to my place?”

“My sisters – if they – I don’t know how they would react to someone being there,” he managed to say. Percival nodded understandingly.

“Would you like to stay with me tonight?”

“But I – “

“It’s not a problem, that’s why I’m offering,” he cut in calmly. He thought of his options, before finally caving in with a nod. “Let me call a cab then.”

The ride was a blur of lamplights flashing against his eyelids and the soothing hum of the taxi sailing down empty streets. Percival kept his distance, but let his hand rest between them, palm opened upward if Credence so chose to take it. So far, he was more content to huddle against the cool plastic of the door, leaning his head against the window pane.

Percival’s face was washed with a pale white light, brightened like a spotlight as he gazed down at his phone with furrowed brow. His fingers struck the screen in quick succession, pounding out rhetoric toward Seraphina, skipping words like stones on a lake of ice in an attempt to crack through her tight-lipped wall of excuses to figure out what truly happened. His face twisted in fury, and he finally flung the phone to the floor, unable to contain his ire.

The noise made Credence jump, head turning to see what had happened.

“It’s nothing.” Percival crossed his arms, straightening his back as he leaned against the seat. He looked almost regal – Credence could almost picture it, shifting the world away and painting in the crushed velvet and glittering gold of a palanquin, enshrining Percival in a mystic abyss of light curtains, sun shining through to offer but the glimpse of his strong silhouette peering through.

“You’re a very good Marc Antony,” he said, tilting his head to the side. The picture changed, warping in on itself, swirling into an arena. A sword as firm as his stance, solid and steady, face set in determination. Shoulders down and back, ready for whatever the world would throw at him. A soldier, a gladiator, a knight as it were – brave and steadfast in heart and mind.

[“You are a child unworthy of the grace of the Lord.”]

“Credence?” Percival’s hand came into view, gently brushing against his own in the space between them. “You’re shaking.”

“I – “ There was a moment, standing on the brink of something overwhelming, the edge of a cliff into the unknown. Terror pressed against his heart, squeezing tightly and shrinking his ribs, wrapping around his lungs so he could hardly breathe.

They slid as the cab turned a corner sharply. The moment collapsed, tension exiting is a rush.

It was over. Credence turned back to the window, watching the streetlights pass them by.

“It’s nothing.”

The corners of Percival’s mouth dragged downward, but he made no move to speak into the silence. Instead, he simply pressed his fingers into the spaces between Credence’s, filling the gaps and holding tightly. Credence bit his lip, but let himself be held. It was – nice. Too nice, perhaps. But – nice. Percival’s hands were nothing special – just as warm as his own, just as soft in the hidden places, just as rough in the calloused pads and knuckles. They were smaller, but wider – complimentary to his own, in a way.

They stayed like that, in comforting quiet, to the point where Credence began to lull off, nodding against the window as his eyes fluttered shut. But eventually, their journey came to an end. Just as he was about to dive into sleep, the car pulled to a stop.

“We’re here,” Percival muttered, clutching his hand before letting go to get out. Reluctantly, Credence did the same, managing to maneuver himself out of the car to sidle over to Percival’s side. Percival took his arm gently, carefully guiding him up the driveway and into the house. It was a nice home, to be sure – the typical American dream of a white picket fence and a small white porch.

Credence didn’t pay much attention, instead letting his mind drift.

“Are you hungry?” He shrugged, uncaring. “Alright. Well, here – sit down. I’ll grab you a blanket.”

Percival disappeared into the depths of the other rooms, leaving Credence standing awkwardly in front of a pristine leather couch. It looked far too expensive to even glance at, never mind touch and rest upon. Hesitantly, Credence ran a finger along the sewn seam of the side. It was smooth as silk, dipping beneath his fingertip – gaudy and ostentatious as a black leather couch was, it was also quite beautiful.

“It won’t bite, you know.” Percival stepped toward him, sandals shuffling against the wood floors. He carried a large pillow in his arms, a thick blanket tucked beneath it. “You can sit, it’s fine.”

Credence obediently did as told, sliding onto the seat as Percival took his place beside him.

“Do you want to talk, or just sleep?” As much as Credence wished to stay up, filling the space between them with poetry, waxing lyric on language and literature, delving into the depths of their respective fields – he was exhausted after the events he suffered through, and could feel sleep pulling at his eyes, tugging at his mind, dragging him away.

“Sleep, I think.”

“Lay down then.”

Percival gazed at Credence’s face, watching as the moonlight pouring through the curtains graced his pale face. The young man was quite beautiful, bathed in silver, curled up under soft black blankets.

He would put Cleopatra herself to shame.

Someday…

Okay first off apologies; I took this prompt while I was teaching abroad this summer, and when I got back I started grad school and realized I’d need more than one job to pay for it, so I have been absolutely swamped with work. I didn’t finish everything I wanted with this – but I wanted to post something out here, just to get it out here, so that the prompt was filled before Thanksgiving season. I’m so sorry I’m late with it.

Anyway! Gosh this prompt hit on all my academic enjoyments so I probably went way overboard on that instead of, you know, focusing on the Anthony / Cleopatra / Caesar bit in a more direct way. Like, overall I kind of followed the general plotline of how Plutarch wrote that mess of a threesome, with a hefty dose of Shakespeare’s classic tragedy take thrown in – Cleopatra gets all hung up on Anthony, tries to appease Caesar so Caesar stops going after Anthony, Anthony thinks she doesn’t love him, Cleopatra realizes mistakes were made. And then I tried to make the ending a bit happier, where they come back together and Caesar kind of just disappears. Probably too much influence and reference to cram into what I tried to keep as a light and abstract outline, so it probably ended up seeming more like it was just “woo Halloween costumes and some sad pathetic plot”, so. Apologies.

I also got really into the whole academia setting and spent way too much time dreaming up headcanons for that [wherein Seraphina, Percival, Tina, and Theseus were all Law focused undergrads who ended up failing their LSATs, so they went into grad school research with things they enjoyed most from their undergrad work, hoping to find work through that. Queenie and Newt kind of just followed their siblings along, though they’re the ones who got into grad school because they’re actually paid for their research, and then they met Jacob, who’s been doing research studies for far too many years, and foreign exchange student Gellert, who’s just all sorts of red flag levels of creepy. Credence took up grad school in hopes of getting funding to publish a textbook on Reformation literature so he can support his two sisters in their undergrad schooling, though Modesty will likely be the big breadwinner out of all of them since she’s the one going into Med school, but that’s also pretty expensive, so].

Anyway. It was my first attempt at any sort of holiday prompt type thing [the only other time I filled out a prompt was as an Anon on some Kink Meme way back in the LJ days; either way, I’m not much in on this practice]. Hopefully it wasn’t too terrible and did something for you. Woo.

BIO-UV Receives IMO & USCG Type Approval for Low-Flow BWTS System

BIO-UV Group, the French leader in UV-based water treatment technology, has received IMO & USCG type approval for its next generation low flow rate ballast water treatment system range.

The BIO-SEA L Easy-to-Fit system had to undergo new type approval testing as it incorporates a completely new UV-reactor, designed specifically to meet market demand from the luxury yacht, expedition cruise and offshore vessel segments, where ballast water pump flow rate capacities are often under 100m3/h.

Benoît Gillmann, BI0-UV Group CEO and Founder said: “We are pleased to have received type approval from both the International Maritime Organization and the US Coast Guard for this new ballast water treatment system. This development really sets us apart from our competitors in the market. BIO-SEA L Easy-to-Fit is the smallest BWTS purpose-built for low flow rates.”

Some ballast water treatment plants marketed as a low-flow rate system are in fact the same systems designed for larger capacities but simply treat lower volumes using the same, high-power consuming, higher wattage lamps.

BIO-SEA L, however, is not derivative of the company’s existing BIO-SEA B product and is based on a completely new 6kW UV lamp arrangement, sized to guarantee full compliance while treating flow rates of between 20m3/h and 90m3/h (USCG mode) and up to 120m3/h in IMO mode.

A key change is the UV lamp and casing materials used in the new system. One 6kW lamp can treat ballast water flows of up to 30m3. A further one or two lamps can be added to the BWTS skid for flow rates of 60m3 and 90m3, respectively.

Based on the experience gained from BIO-SEA B range (50 to 2000 m3/h) which received USCG type approval in 2017, the France-headquartered system designer and manufacturer says the development provides ship operators with more competitive ballast water treatment with low CAPEX and low OPEX.

“Everything has been adapted to suit the lower flow rates of the smaller vessel,” said Gillmann.

Xavier Bayle, Technical and R&D Manager said: “These benefits have been achieved as a result of the unique design of our reactors. Each BIO-SEA L Easy-to-Fit unit features reactors with a 6kW UV lamp, which it is less expensive to replace than the larger lamps. This means reduced maintenance for the crew, fewer spare parts have to be kept onboard and as the automated UV sensors adapt to the quality of the water, energy consumption is better regulated, reducing energy consumption and preserving lamp life,” he said.

With a footprint starting at 1.36m2, the BIO-SEA L skid is not only the most compact system on the market, it can also be split into two parts simplifying onboard delivery, installation and integration, and making it suitable for retrofit projects.

Xavier Deval, Business Director, Ballast Water Solution, added: “For many owners and builders, system footprint is an important consideration. As a flat packed, split-skid solution, we are able to simplify the installation process and reduce installation costs and time as a BIO-SEA L Easy-to-Fit can easily fit through existing hatches and doors, without having to cut access holes into the vessel."

With quick response times and flexibility, BIO-UV Group can deliver its modular BIO-SEA system in eight weeks – a highly competitive lead time.

“So far, the new coronavirus has not presented any significant risk to our activities,” said Gillmann. “As to manufacturing supplies, we currently have an inventory level sufficient to maintain production rates. The bulk of our UV systems are assembled mainly in France and Asian operations are restarting.”

BIO-UV Group also have revenues coming from other sectors with the provision of solutions for drinking water, wastewater, aquaculture and recreational activities.

In the first two months of 2020, BIO-UV Group activities resulted in a 29% increase in revenue compared to the same period 2019.

Press Release:

Berthold Pott is pleased to present Manor Grunewald’s third solo exhibition in the gallery.

Manor Grunewald (b. 1985) lives and works in Ghent, Belgium. His work encompasses the genres of painting, sculpture and installation. The focus of his work is on prints in the broadest sense: with regard to the image, the material and the technical processes applied. Aspects of archiving, installation and the resulting references to the surrounding space can, however, also be found in his work – in particular in the present exhibition Goods Between Floors, for which Grunewald collaborated for the first time with a scenographer, the architect Theo De Meyer.

Regarding the image:

As a painter of the generation that stands for the transition from the analogue to the digital image, Grunewald is interested in the central questions of painting, such as: ‘What is “real”?’, ‘What do we actually see in the painting’, ‘What happens when the image is reproduced, and what is painterly about this?’ Manor Grunewald’s ‘image processing’ begins with searching for and collecting ‘image templates’. These can be derived from an art catalogue, a magazine, an advertising poster, a comic or something similar. This initial image is then subjected to various processes of transformation. Grunewald selects details, copies these, and then enlarges, collages and reproduces them. This process leads to ‘distortions’ – errors, colour transformations, incidents of light, etc. – especially since the artist proceeds ‘manually’: By cutting out by hand and gluing fragments of images together, this ‘manual work’ also becomes visible in the pictures themselves. When copying the pictorial elements, he also uses older copying machines, which, due to inaccuracies, transformations from colour to black-and-white and enlargements, increasingly allow the image to deviate from its original appearance. The result is a collage in which the various layers lie in front of, above or next to each other. After scanning, they are enlarged as a UV print and stretched onto a canvas frame. In the final image, analogue and digital aspects of both the image and the process unite to form an overall composition.

Regarding the material:

In printmaking, the material of the image carrier plays a decisive role. Grunewald’s work thus incorporates the textures and surfaces – and with this the perception – of the printed image on these materials. Different types of paper, films, synthetic canvas, resolutions etc. are the subject of his investigations and are used in the various stages of transformation.

Regarding the technical processes:

Grunewald’s technical means already described above, such as copying, scanning or printing, very strongly involve the moment of repetition or sequencing, but also that of chance. What can be technically controlled, and what, in turn, is falsified or altered? Incidences of light during copying, smudges or scratches on the glass plate of the copier are reflected and become an accepted or provoked design element. But Grunewald goes one step further and continuously finds himself in the field of tension between controlled composition and chance, ordering elements and chaotic structures. He thus also employs techniques used by graphic designers and printers in the 1980s and 90s: with the help of coloured films (e.g. from the Letratone company), with which paint is transferred manually in a dot grid onto designs and thus simulate printing results. Grunewald incorporates these colour films into his collaged paintings, not hiding the manufacturer’s logos and printed type descriptions, but rather incorporating these into his reproduction processes, so that these dot screens and lettering often remain visible in the final picture.

Installation and the reference to the surrounding space:

In the current exhibition – Goods Between Floors – Grunewald collaborated with the architect and scenographer Theo De Meyer. Together, the two developed an exhibition and installation that confronts the spatial conditions of the gallery. Just as, within his creative processes, Grunewald repeatedly juxtaposes different levels, such as original–copy, analogue-digital, manual-mechanical, he has also arranged the exhibition in the gallery on different spatial levels, thus creating multi-layered perspectives. In addition to the gallery’s exhibition space, he has also cleared and incorporated the storage room and office of the gallery located one floor below. Together with Theo De Meyer, he also built a large girder construction on the hoisting crane on the gallery level. Various layers of material (sheets of corrugated plastic, aluminium supports) become visible and float freely, recalling to an altar and serving as a presentation module for his six, equally sized paintings.

Beginning in the storage room, which he painted in the yellow tone of common copy separating paper, an aluminium column rises up from the floor and through the steel grid into the gallery floor above. The separation between the lower and upper floors is thus ostensibly broken through, and the two floors are connected to each other. This yellow-illuminated storeroom cube, in which Grunewald has hung a 2×2-metre-large painting frontally and centrally next to the lamp, radiates onto the forecourt of the gallery and gives the impression of being an energy cell.

In the gallery space itself – in addition to the large, altar-like hanging construction – attention is drawn to a roughly six-metre-long presentation table designed by the artist, which extends diagonally through the gallery, supported by aluminium legs. In a long glass display case, Grunewald presents printed documentation of his works and exhibitions of the last ten years. These are complemented by studio utensils, such as coffee cups, old slices of toast and pieces of sushi – props from both good and bad periods of the artist’s career, which he self-ironically integrates. Documentation of the work and the work itself become one. In this ‘main space’, one also finds two large paintings and a small wall piece.

The gallery’s office has also been emptied by Grunewald and Theo De Meyer, who painted it blue-grey and installed a desk-like construction of the same elements found in the main space, namely a glass display case with aluminium legs. Hanging on the wall of the office is a further painting by the artist.

In Grunewald’s exhibition Goods Between Floors, individual works and documentation are staged within the space as installations and combined on conceptual and spatial levels to form a multi-perspectival treatise.

Level Creation

This part of the project took place during the creation of the model, me and Harley very much decided that we would work on the things we were best at and join forces once the building blocks had been placed, In the character Harley did the technical side of the character while I created her and I would finish up the level once everything was placed and clear, however there was very little time for me to completely achieve what I wanted with the level towards the end.

Very early on, me and Harley discussed what we would like to do for this unit and how we wanted to change the level and what different aspects we should focus on, we talked about different assets and how we would use them. We agreed that we would mainly use The Advanced Village Pack by Adrian Lazar as it contains: trees, paving stones, houses, lamps and lots of other assets that we wanted to include that we did not have time for. We did talk about trying to create every asset by ourselves and I have done that before with a previous unit (click here to visit that blog)  and did not want to do it again with this unit as it is very time consuming and honestly I am not the best at textures and UVs and it takes a very long time for me to create detailed assets, especially with the style we want to go for with this unit. 

When we decided on a level design we wanted, we agreed on a map and decided with this map we would integrate both our individual levels with Harley’s functionality but also my environment, however, we have better equipment now, we have better computers than we did when I created my level so we could make a detailed and beautiful environment on a bigger scale and be sure that it would run completely fine. 

Harley definitely took the reigns with the design in this level, I obviously had input while doing so but he was in charge of the general level placement and I would come in later and include some of my visions, the only real conflicts we had with this process were small things like assets, such as in the beginning, I wanted to use more fuller and foliage packed trees in 4K textures which Harley disagreed with, and we later agreed that using the trees from the village pack would be more appropriate with the style and of course they have wind physics and would look better when the fog began to draw in during the cutscene.

Once the main assets were placed, we agreed on more specific placements and how it would affect the layout, we also decided to introduce the second pathway from my level in the cutscene and also added new features like a flower bed and small village as opposed to a singular house. 

One major thing I wanted with the level was to cut off the edge of the level and make it so the player is unable to see through the level to the skybox at the end. In my level, I had cliffs to cut off my level and I hated that, I wanted the environment to be open and allow the player to feel like the forest and level was endless while maintaining a very limited space. Harley came up with the idea to use a dark mist to conceal the edges of the level, making it dark but also giving the impression that the level is endless. 

In terms of lighting, I wanted a very dark atmosphere with minimal light but with very clear lighting cues, we did this by using very minimal lanterns and even used  glowing mushrooms to show where the player can walk, I also wanted to include some glowing flowers too, however we didn’t have time to include those.

Another thing I wanted to do was replace the ruins at the end of the level with models that I used in my original level, however we ran out of time to do that too.

We also made the last minute decisions to add different sources of light by using lanterns that hang from trees and also replacing the rabbit concept art mesh with an actual rabbit and animations, however we did not implement a running animation.
