And number 19 from the situations: de-aged with the Black wings?

When Graham walked into the lockerroom and discovered a literal child in Emil's stall, he kind of..

..freaked out about it big time. As in, he almost got a heart attack. "What the- who are you? And what are you doing here? Children should definitely not be in here!"

"I don't know. I'm Emil! Who are you?!

The kid couldn't be older than six years old. But still- there was something eerily familiar about him. Graham forced himself to take a deep breath, trying to think logically. He heard about stuff like this happening- people in high stress situations just reverting back to an age where they didn't have to worry about anything fundamental. As a way of the body and mind protecting itself. And apparently, that's exactly what happened to his winger. Graham could hear his teammates coming closer from the ice after morning skate, so he quickly grabbed Emil's hand and pulled him up.

"We're gonna play a little game kid. You're going to hide for a moment in the break room, and I'm gonna search for you in a bit, okay? You don't have to worry, I'll be back in a bit."

He gently sent the kid off, cringing internally at how creepy this must sound. But he thought Emil probably wouldn't want the whole team to know about that. Graham had to tell Brian at least. And the A's. Oh god why did it have to be him who found that kid.

He tried to be as inconspicuous as possible when he pulled his captain into a quiet corner, telling him briefly what happened. Brian seemed to handle the news better than he did, and reassured him that he'd take care of it and Graham should just wait a little.

So, after most of the guys cleared out of the room and basically only Brian, him, the alternates and Shawn were left, the captain cut to the chase right away.

"So, I asked you to stay because Emil somehow reverted back to a toddler, and while we need to know why that happened, we also need to make sure baby Emil has as much fun as possible. So instead of panicking now, Graham is going to get the kid and we're all going to be happy and cheerful and we're going to take him to mine and spend a day with him. And hopefully work out why this happened."

They all nodded, so Graham quickly went to the breakroom to get Emil, congratulating him on winning that awesome game. Emil was delighted. And, just like his adult counterpart, as soon as he got together with the other guys, he never. Stopped. Talking.

top 5 characters from Polish lektury szkolne

Ok so like. I'm assuming by Polish lektury we mean those written by PL authors, and not everything that was obligatory reading at school?

1. Zygmunt Korczyński - while Nad Niemnem was never an obligatory reading at my liceum, I absolutely love the book and count Zygmunt among my favourite Polish literature characters full stop. He's just so ahhhhh. Obviously written to be in opposition to the values promoted, while still being allowed to make his case. The horrible argument he has with his mother is a great scene. Bad bad stupid man! But so interesting, especially the mentality he presents, and anyway it's so fascinating to read him go "oh i fucking hate every single one of you going on and on about poland and patriotism and duty and the forefathers, can't i just live my life???" and. it sounds like a reasonable argument of a person living in the 21st century!! but because 19th century nationalism is something else entirely it was Obviously Awful thing for him to say when the book was written! i fucking love this little man. but also rip his wife, klocia i'm so sorry

2. Balladyna, the og girlboss, she's hot and sexy and murderous. lots of fondness for the whole play, i'm a słowacki stan so as one could expect from me. i'm OBSESSED with her and kostryn's whole deal. yes girl go get it, enjoy his company and fuck him and then do a little murder. also she died a very iconic death so that's always a plus

3. konstanty probs doesn't count cos he's a historical figure KORDIAN my beloved. baby boy. the most precious of self-inserts. want to hug him. would go with him to kill the tsar (we would still fail probably but shhh). i have seen the play in teatr narodowy five times already and i'm ready to go see it for the sixth time any day.

4. Ignacy Rzecki. Look, I hate Lalka, it's an extremely frustrating book, wokulski can go die in a ditch, HOWEVER. Pathetic old little meow meow who is also a bonapartist AND had homoerotic revolutionary adventures in hungary?? rzecki i love you, and i love you more with every sentence you address to katz in your gay little diary

5. once again konstanty and kuruta and gendre are all historical figures, can't say them in noc listopadowa

5. I feel like i'm definitely forgetting someone important whom I love?? Can't figure out who so here i will give a special shoutout to that one funnyman from Lilla Weneda who stole armor off of corpses and in general had a very interesting moral compass (Ślaz!!! i played him once at a school thing)

ahdhakfhskfj thats 3 słowacki characters out of 5 slots total. julek pls let my soul rest
