A Lahaina teacher's difficult search for long-term housing almost 6 months after the wildfires

Hawaiʻi Public Radio | By Kuʻuwehi Hiraishi

Thursday marks six months since that devastating wildfire in Lahaina killed 100 people and displaced thousands. Many are still struggling to secure long-term housing, but hopes of remaining on Maui appear uncertain.

Princess Nāhiʻenaʻena Elementary School teacher Liko Rogers lost his family home in Lahaina in the Aug. 8 fires. He and his wife Sissy have had to shuffle from hotel to hotel at least three times since. As soon as he received his insurance check, he thought he had a plan.

"Ma kīnohi, manaʻo mākou hiki paha ke hoʻolimalima i kekahi hale ma Maui nei a hoʻohana i ʻia kālā ʻinikua e uku a mākaukau ka ʻāina o Lahaina e hoʻi mākou a kūkulu hou."

At first, he said, they figured they’d rent a home on Maui with the insurance money until their land in Lahaina was ready for them to rebuild.

But Rogers soon realized that with rapidly rising rents, the insurance money would only last so long.

"No laila, ka mākou ke huli nei mākou e kūʻai i hale ma ʻaneʻi, eia naʻe pīpiʻi loa. Pīpiʻi loa. Ko mākou hale ma Lahaina, he ʻehiku lumi moe, ʻehā lumi ʻauʻau, a he hale nui nō. ʻAʻole hiki ke ʻimi ʻia kekahi mea like. A inā ua loaʻa, pīpiʻi loa paha. He ʻoi aku i ka $2 miliona paha."

Rogers said now the plan is to buy a home here on Maui. But it’s expensive — very expensive.

Their home in Lahaina was a seven-bedroom, four-bathroom house. He said they’re never going to find anything like it, and if they do, it’ll probably cost more than $2 million.

"Nui ka hopohopo o mākou, koʻu ʻohana hopohopo mākou ke nānā nei mākou i nā hale ma waho o Maui nei. E pono ana e haʻalele no ka pīpiʻi o nā hale ua nānā ʻia ka mokupuni nui. A inā ʻaʻole ʻo ka ʻāina ʻē paha kahi koho."

Rogers said he and his family are seriously concerned. He said they’ve looked at homes on Hawai’i Island. The mainland is also an option. But his job is here and so are his kids.

"He alahele lōʻihi, ʻaʻole naʻe ia he alaina. E noke mau ana ka ʻohana Rogers ... e kūkulu hou i hale ma laila a e noho hou ana mākou i lahaina i kekahi wā, i ka wā kūpono."

He said it's a long road ahead, but it won’t stop them. The Rogers ‘Ohana will push forward and rebuild their home in Lahaina when the time is right.

Elizabeth Arden Retinol + HPR Ceramide Capsules Serum

Retinol isn’t for everyone—you do you, babe—but there’s a reason why dermatologists swear by it for aging skin: it works. A vitamin A derivative, retinol has been used in topical treatments since the 1970s, when it was deemed a major breakthrough for acne. Now, retinol is beloved for its wrinkle-smoothing benefits, and is a cornerstone in the skin-care routines of people around the globe. One of…

I think it's so funny how we bred JOBS into dogs. I have two shih tzus and they were bred to be lap dogs. All they care about is looking cute and cuddling with people. Meanwhile my grandma has a border collie and that dog needs to feel so useful all the time, he acts like he will pass away if he doesn't have a job to do constantly

^᪲᪲᪲ what the world has to offer

SYNOPSIS: you were supposed to be home about thirty minutes ago. mingyu doesn't know why you aren't home yet and all his calls are left unanswered and his texts, delivered, but not read.

PAIRING: mingyu x gn!reader

GENRE: fluff, established relationship

WORD COUNT: 1.1k

notes: this is pretty self indulgent y'all also also omg first written piece that i've posted for the world to see in 4 years???? also im not very satisfied with how i ended this so my bad y'all but hopefully i get to write more in the coming weeks !!

hpr btw

'i'm close by, i'll be there in five mins !!!'

going by your last text, you should've been home about thirty minutes ago. needless to say, mingyu was beyond worried, pacing back and forth in your shared kitchen while he also he kept an eye on the boiling pasta.

'y/n.'

delivered.

'y/n why aren't you answering my calls???'

delivered, yet again.

delivered, but not read.

mingyu's anxiety, which had picked up upon the ten minute mark, only increased as all his texts were left unopened and unanswered.

the pasta had finally come to a boil. as mingyu turns the stove off, a soft tune fills the otherwise empty house.

his phone was ringing.

mingyu goes to pick his phone up, his speed only picking up when he sees your name illuminating on the phone screen. he attends your call, ready to chide you as he adjusts his phone so that you could see his (rather upset) face.

"y/n, why the fuck won't you—"

"i don't think i'm coming home tonight," you cut him off.

mingyu raises an eyebrow. he knew exactly why you were late the moment he saw you sat, leaning against a wall that looked much like the wall of the entrance to your apartment complex.

you angle your phone towards your lap, and there it was. the reason why you weren't home yet.

laying down cozily on your lap was a sleeping cat, pearly white fur with specks of dust and brown spots. if mingyu was right the stray was probably—

"i think he was abandoned," you pull him away from his thoughts, gently swiping your fingers over the cats ear that was cut at the tip, indicating it was spayed either by a rescue team or its previous owner. your free hand goes to cradle its head as it tips back.

a soft smile falls on mingyu's slightly chapped lips, his eyes gazing at his screen with so much love. he leans closer to the camera. "you don't even look at me with this much love," mingyu jokes, causing you to chuckle softly, "i'll bring him something to eat yeah?"

you nod and allow mingyu to cut the call. a shiver runs down your spine while you wait for your boyfriend to come down to join you. it was a particularly chilly evening. as you wait for mingyu, you watch the cat as its body rises and falls in a gentle rhythm. you had placed your woolen scarf over the cat earlier, when it had fallen asleep, afraid that it might be too cold for him. you sit there, wondering how confused the cat must have felt upon being thrown into the streets to fend for itself after being sheltered for so long. you felt sorry. the world is too cruel, you think to yourself.

"hi," mingyu's voice pulls you out of your thoughts. you lift your head to look up at your grinning boyfriend, the scarf wrapped around his neck doesn't hide his sharp canines shining under the dim light of the lamppost.

"hi," you whisper back as mingyu squats down across you. with all the sudden commotion, the cat stirs awake, sleep eyes blinking up at the new figure before him. "he's awake," you note, eyeing the cat cautiously, praying that the presence of another person doesn't scare him.

the cat sits up immediately, the scarf draped over his body, slipping onto the ground. its eyes land on the small tin of cat food which mingyu had bought along. good thing mingyu had bought a bunch of those since you have a habit of feeding strays in your area whenever you come across one.

you loved cats. mingyu knew that much. going out on walks with you almost always meant that you'd both would have to stop somewhere in the side of a road because you came across a stray cat. sometimes, you'd stop mid conversation if you see one, rushing towards it, muttering a soft "look! cat!" mingyu doesn't mind, though.

in fact, it was this quality of yours that made him fall so deeply in love with you. despite the pain the world had given you, love was all you ever gave back. that too with a big grin on your face. when you'd run towards a stray cat mid-conversation, you'd miss the fond smile that'd fall on mingyu's lips. when he'd go shop for groceries, you'd miss the absent-minded smile that'd paint his lips when he'd inevitably walk down the aisle containing pet food. when he'd see you sat beside your potted plant, talking for hours about anything and nothing at all while a slow song plays in the background, you'd miss the way he'd look at you, with hearts in his eyes.

they can hear you. it helps them grow better, you had told him.

once again, you had missed the way he was smiling at you. "or so it seems." a puff of air briefly forms in front of mingyu's mouth as a chuckle escapes his lips. the cat jumps out of your lap and approaches the can of food cautiously, almost as if it'd disappear if he'd look away. gently, mingyu pushes it closer towards the cat, assuring that the food is, in fact, for him.

you sit on your knees, your freezing hands falling on your lap as the cat takes his first few bites, his entire face fitting into the can. when he lifts his head, his overgrown whiskers are coated with minced meat. you and mingyu coo softly as the cat looks up at the two of you with his minced meat clad fur and whiskers.

you laugh, your eyes crinkling at the sides. you sounded so beautiful. music that mingyu wishes was only reserved for his ears; for him to listen to and cherish. but alas, the world knows your name.

"you've taken quite a liking towards him," mingyu points out.

you look at your boyfriend, "i wish we could take him home." an unsaid plea.

mingyu laughs softly, reaching forward to gently pat your head, "i'm free tomorrow. i'll pick you up from work and we both can take him to get vaccinated, alright?" he smiles, mirroring your own beaming smile, "i'm sure bopeul would like a friend or two when we go visit my family when i get a break."

"and, i'm sure dollop would love bopeul too," you say.

mingyu raises a brow, "is that what we're naming him?"

"yes."

"dollop it is then," he smiles, reaching down to gently boop its snout.

you miss the way mingyu smiles at you when you aren't looking. but, you never miss the way he loves you. all the little ways he's shown his love. you've never once had to ask for something. he'd know.

maybe this was what the world had to offer for all the love you've given it.

Hero, Villain God 19

(Prev) (Next) (First)

*Grian's pov*

The final interview ends up being really boring and long, even more then the literal test, you might have lived for billions of years but you have not felt such levels of unfun ever before... You have to give it to them, this is definitely impressive.

All about law and respectability and rules, things you understand are important for an hero to know but are so uninteresting to you...

... In contrast the questions created by Hotguy are a shift in tone that's for you, you don't even need the interviewer to tell you Hotguy wrote these because It's so blatantly obvious to you... They are also somehow much more thought invoking then the previous ones... Less...cut and dry...they are also phrased in a way that's not just prose and proper nouns and all that stuff.

You can tell that Hotguy really cares about this, you suppose he has every reason to... Then is another complete vibe chance as the last question comes, this one has Hero Association written all over it so much that it might as well count as an autograph.

"Do you believe you can fit in with the Hotguy brand?"

You know the god of heroes, you have talked once or twice or maybe a few hundred times, he would absolutely cringe at the thought of the profession being considered a brand. From what you have seen of HotGuy he probably does the same.

"Yes."

"How?"

You would make a joke about being very hpr but that would be equivalent to shooting yourself in the foot...Well, you have planned the perfect twist for this.

"Hotguy is the first hero with two powers."

"Indeed"

The interviewer is clearly not getting what you are trying to say, good. Surprises are always welcome.

You generate an arrow in your hand while spreading your wings.

"Hopefully, I'll be the second"

The interviewer is shocked, you tend to have that effect on people it seems... You silently say goodbye, now you just need to wait for an answer.

*Scar's pov*

You are called by the council, you don't really know why. You are sure you sent your questions, were they bad or something?

"We have found the perfect candidate."

Oh!...Wait, what?

"A-Already? It's been less then-"

"Yes, this one is special"

That's uh... Usually not good when they are the one to say it. Who did they pick?

"Special...? How?"

"He's like you."

Like... You...??

"... Uh?"

"Two powers. Wings like that of Sheriff and an ability to summon weapons at will... Has a fascination with arrows much like you."

"Oh...oh! . . . Oh I didn't expect that to ever happen... heh"

... You aren't the only one anymore...if he's better will you be replaced? ... No, no! They wouldn't...they wouldn't.

You should meet him then, if he's going to work with you then you are going to have to get along.

Well, if he answered your question at least mostly correctly then you are sure you are going to get along well... You'll have to ask Cub for his score.

"HE GOT ALL MY QUESTIONS WRONG!?!"

"Don't shout in my lab Scar"

"... Sorry Cub... I just... I just can't believe he got all my questions wrong and still got a 98% in the interview."

"I can, your questions were the last ten out of five hundred made by the association. You should have really written more."

"Oh...well maybe they should have written less... five hundred questions for an interview is insane."

"Can't argue with that"

Ok, so maybe you and the sidekick think nothing alike, that's fine, you can still be friendly... You are sure you can trust the association... It's not like they have ever...well, not too often... not always.

You open the door and-

"Coffee guy???"

Hey besties I’m back with more brainrot bc it’s Friday night let’s get crazyyy (read: write fanfiction of a podcast that doesn’t exist)

Graveyard Girls and Starting a New Genre of Therapy

“Welcome back to the Graveyard Girls, your favorite podcast. I’m Val—“

“Favorite podcast?” Sam asked skeptically.

“Probably in the listener’s top ten,” Valerie clarified.

“Hmmm…I’d think we’d be more controversial.”

“You know what’s controversial? You derailing the intro again.”

“I’m Sam,” the girl said, rotating slightly in her chair unconsciously. She gazed into their camera. “We’re not friends.”

“She gives me migraines.”

“Anyway, as we get to our usual topic of ‘Amity Park is definitely real, we’re not gaslighting you,’ I’ve brought something to share.” Sam reached over to an end table and pulled a garish pamphlet into view, the ugly highlighter-green almost messing with their white balance. “Straight from the mall food court tables.”

“No,” Valerie laughed, her expression turning to recognition. “Not Dr. Simmons PTC.”

“Paranormal trauma counselor,” Sam nodded, “and oh yes.”

“We getting a live reading?”

“‘Have you ever found yourself…in the dark? Overshadowed, Brainwashed, Possessed?’” Sam began dramatically, “‘you’re not alone. Many citizens find themselves with memory gaps, brain fog—however, all of these ailments need only a caring touch.”

“And like $300.”

“‘HPR (Hypnotic Possession Recovery) is a unique therapy only performed by Dr. Gerard Simmons.’ Bring those memories to the surface and you too can retake your life!’”

“What if my PTSD is from being hypnotized?” Valerie asked.

“Then I think it’s only like $150,” Sam replied. “But—non-locals, this is what you’ll find…”

“It’s the fact that he’s not crazy,” Valerie said when Sam seemed to lose her train of thought, “like I think that’s where we lose people. The mission statement is valid. But the dude’s a hack.”

“We have support groups for this stuff, you can get counseling for like…nothing.”

“Didn’t Jazz do like a misinformation campaign thing? About how he has one degree in English literature and is banned from the public library?”

“He hit her with a full-on cease and desist,” Sam cackled.

“By the way, Gerry,” Valerie cut in, “you can go ahead and send ours to graveyard-gals at gmail.”

“The point is…listen, everybody’s been brainwashed at least once in Amity Park, alright? That’s our phrase of the day—everybody’s been brainwashed once!”

“One new kid got basically the same thing said to her on her first day at Casper and I heard her in the bathroom like ‘mom. we need to go back to Florida.’”

“Oh n—it’s not that bad, for real.”

“Yeah that’ll be our new town motto—brainwashed, possessed, or hypnotized? Better than Florida.”

Valerie sat back, and after a moment of silence spoke again, “is it that easy, to just start your own…practice? Or something?”

“Surely, you’re not thinking...”

“Don’t call me Shirley,” Valerie replied automatically, then grimaced as Sam snickered, “oh god—“

“Danny Fenton, when did you get here?” Sam asked, still laughing as Valerie groaned. “You look a bit different—“

“I think there’s a limit. There’s a Fenton limit and it’s when I start making puns or talking like a stand up comedian from the 50s.”

“Dude said, completely straight-faced, ‘get a load of this guy!’ the other day,” to the box ghost, who deserved it—but that part would remain off-the-record. “Can’t believe we put up with him. Anyway, your small business venture?”

“I’m just saying, I’ve got a lot of life advice, very useful,” Valerie gestured to the camera facing her, “and I’m here giving it away for free.”

“Life coach is your plan?”

“I’ve got a lot of plans. Ambitions.”

“I know, it’s terrifying.”

“Oh?” Valerie queried, and Sam sighed dramatically.

“Yeah. Keeps me up.”

“How so?”

Sam seemed to have realized she’d talked herself into a corner, and sighed again, hanging her head.

“Manson.”

“You’re gonna make me say it,” Sam groaned.

“Say what?”

“Don’t—okay,” Sam said, a third sigh ending her series of grievances, “okay, you—ugh, the thing is that anything you put your mind to, you absolutely kill it. And anyone who is not terrified should be.”

“Oh,” Valerie said, snorting in disbelief as Sam mimed her own untimely death, “oh she’s complimenting me, guys.”

“Ew, don’t say it.”

“And it’s on. Camera.”

“I’ll fucking kill you.”

“I believe you. You literally give me nightmares too, don’t worry.”

“I hate your guts,” Sam said, though her face didn’t match her words. “Okay anyway let’s move to local ghost smash or pass—“

“Foul! Party foul! You knock that shit off!”
