#it’s also illegal to be caught without old bay on your person

[melmac78]

Care taking prompt: Gordon bandaging/stitching up Scott’s wounds?

Story injury maker is based on this green machine. The other item on right is an old icebox, aka refrigerator.

I wish I had a pic of a fully intact one, but the one I saw at the Trade Days yesterday that was restored is too small for the story. They’re fairly uncommon now, and wanted a reference for readers who may have never seen one.

For the record, I remember these being around in places as late as early 1990s. The few around now are also repurposed. Hope you enjoy:

“This is embarrassing.”

"I know Scott..." said Gordon as he assisted his oldest brother in Thunderbird Two's bay.

Scott shook his head. "No, more than embarrassing - this is ridiculous. I knew smoking could be bad for your health, but..."

Any thoughts were cut off with a sharp hiss when Gordon situated his brother onto a cot in the Sickbay to assess the injury.

The aquanaut scoffed slightly. "Second hand cigarette pack vending machines are even worse," he finished with a smirk as he started cutting away the neoprene around his brother's left calf.

Scott rolled his eyes at the bad joke. Thunderbirds one and two had to go to a rescue at a retro restaurant created by Francois Lemaire.

The restaurant was the peak of sophistication - two stories tall, featuring a variety of antiques from the 1950s to '70s.

A work of art for the high class tastes - including dinner.

Unfortunately for International Rescue - Lemaire didn't pay attention to the fact it was on top of a well known faultline, and Mother Nature showed her displeasure flatening the building with an earthquake.

The brothers were successful in rescuing everyone alive - albeit a few with injuries severe enough to require hospitalization.

Scott had finished helping Madeline, the last person inside, out of a pile of debris when an aftershock hit.

He protected her safely, but a broken cigarette vending machine fell on him.

Fortunately, the machine landed in a way it didn't crush his leg.

Unfortunately for Scott, the machine's glass window broke, slicing a 3 inch long gash in his calf.

After a bit of a struggle with the machine, freeing Scott's ankle from the slats that once stored cartons, Gordon and Madeline helped the eldest Tracy outside.

Madeline left with a couple of paramedics for a checkup.

Gordon and Scott ended up in TB2, thankful for once Francois elected to pay more attention how he nearly lost his wife than pester the Tracys.

Scott shook his head at the memory. "Seriously, how in the he... heck did Lemaire find one of those monstrosities?" he pondered outloud, before hissing l at Gordon's ministrations.

The aquanaut shrugged. "Don't know - but some folks years ago when the machines were made illegal to vend cigarettes bought then turned them into miniature art dispensers. Get a few more dollars selling postcard sized art,” he said, then whistled. "Yep. You're gonna need stitches, but you're in luck, you have the best stitcher in the world.

Scott was more concerned when he saw his brother put the needle in the ampoule for a local anesthetic. *oh no,* he thought, and paled slightly. "That's Virgil... I can wait a few minutes," he said.

"Yeah... I know he's the best, but they still need the jaws to move away that life sized replica of the Beatle’s Yellow Submarine blocking the main road," said Gordon as he tapped out the air bubbles out.

”Seriously Gords… I can wait…” said Scott, swallowing hard as the shot glistened. *Not now, not with Gordon present...* He thought, but he knew the signs. He felt light, had a feeling of dread, compounded with old memories...

To his dismay, his brother didn’t listen. “No you can’t. It’s a deep gash, and Virgil will have both our hides if you pass out from blood loss,” said the blonde bluntly.

He then turned back. "Now lie back Sc...."

The aquanaut froze slightly when he saw Scott staring at the needle, pale as a sheet and start to sway. "Scott..." he said warily, only to see his brother's eyes go blank and he listed to the side.

“Woah!” Gordon immediately caught his brother before he fell off the cot. He put the shot down and assisted his older brother flat onto his back. "Easy there bro," he said gently to the eldest as Scott started to come back around.

"'M fine..." said Scott muzzily.

"Sure, and that cigarette machine hit you with feathers," teased the younger man as he checked his brother's pulse. He sighed in relief to hear the older man snort in disgust, and once satisfied Scott wasn’t going to fall out on him, continued. "Blood or needle?"

"Huh?"

"Which one made you faint?”

“I did not…”

“Scott, seriously, you did: briefly” said Gordon gently. Seeing Scott wince in embarrassment, and pain, The aquanaut continued. “I’m not going to make fun - promise, but I need to know the cause because I'd rather like to know how to help.”

The eldest gave a faint blush. "Needle," he said. "Can give shots no problem, but..."

Gordon gave a half smile. "Getting them isn't such?" he said, and Scott nodded.

“Bad doctor checkup when I was in first grade. Complete accident, but gave me nightmares and a lasting fear. Virgil remembered my blackout back then though…”

"So that's why you'd rather Virgil help when you’re hurt? Didn't want us to know of a phobia?"

The raven haired man nodded reluctantly. "Yeah, don't know what's more embarrassing - getting cut by an antique cancer stick machine or fainting from a shot," said Scott, expecting a tease.

He was thankful he was lying down for what came next.

"Neither," chided Gordon.

“Huh?”

"Seriously there's nothing wrong with accidents or fears - besides a potential medical worry."

A confused Scott started to open his mouth as the younger man continued. "But there will be another one if I don't start stitching this, so stay laying down," Gordon said, pulling out a small stuffed toy and putting it in Scott's hands. "This should help."

Scott took the item in his hand and looked at it. "A sea turtle plushie," he stated perplexed, looking at the item. It was about 3 inches long, two inches wide with a swirly tie-dye printed shell. "Never seen this before.”

“I know, I keep Surfer in my baldric most of the time.”

“Ok… but what is, um ‘Surfer’ for?"

Gordon chuckled. "To keep people distracted, and I see that he worked his charms again," he said. Seeing his brother's confusion, he continued. "Gave you the shot - should numb your leg in a couple of minutes.”

Scott chuckled in relief. It was a distraction all right as he traced a pattern on the toy. “So, where did he come from?”

The aquanaut then paused for thought, growing a bit more somber. "I got it from Penny and Parker shortly after the Chaos Crew put me in the hospital."

Scott tilted his head, curious for more as Gordon checked his brother's leg.

Finding it was numbed - Scott was not reacting, started stitching the wound.

The aquanaut, sensing his brother's persistent look wanting for more, continued. "I never told any of you this - but I have a vague memory of coming to in my 'Bird and something sharp cutting through my broken arm."

“But nothing pierced your uniform,” said Scott, remembering the day his brother was lying unconscious in the bed he was now using. He was thankful though: based on what few photos EOS captured of the rescue, some items came too close to finishing the Chaos Crew’s job.

Scott shook off the memory, and saw the aquanaut nod as he started another stitch. "Yeah, I know that now - it was the actual break, but I think in my semiconscious state, I thought it was a knife stabbing me in the crook," he said. "The memory stuck so badly in my head that during a simple blood test in the hospital I fainted."

“Now hold up... they didn’t say you...”

"Well, I am adult you know: doctor/patient confidentiality. Especially as you are a bad enough smother hen without more fuel,” he said, and seeing Scott’s unimpressed look, continued. “Penny and Parker unfortunately were visiting when that spell occurred.

“I was embarrassed - thought when they came back Parker would tease me and Penny do her polite ignoring it,” the aquanaut continued, starting on the last stitch. “But, to my surprise, they gave me the turtle. Said if I ever was in pain or having issues with a shot, hold it, and know that there were people who loved you no matter your faults. Didn’t have a repeat then or since."

Scott started seeing where this story was going. "So you don't see my phobia as a fault?" he inquired.

"No Scott. You're human, like all of us, just sometimes you need a reminder," he said as he finished tying the last knot and started to bandage the stitches. "Personally, I think as ‘Surfer’ worked for you, as you didn't feel that shot, or flinch once from the stitches, maybe you should consider your own.”

Scott was about to speak when Virgil contacted them, saying he was returning back to the Thunderbird and that John was remote piloting One back to base.

"John better not ding my ‘Bird. That'd be worse than fainting and being cut up by a cigarette machine," said Scott, distracted from the talk about plushies.

Gordon chuckled. "At least Virgil isn't considering taking Thunderbird One and converting it to a miniature art dispensing machine. He talked about buying Lemaire’s… but I think it’s to scrap it into a weird recycled art sculpture after cutting you. Double when he eyed the icebox," he said, then laughed more when Scott rolled his eyes. "Now, lie back and rest. I'll stay here and keep you company so Virgil doesn't be a Smother Rooster."

"Papa bear," corrected Scott.

"OK, papa bear ... but same reason," he said, then grew sober, as he tapped the turtle, which Scott handed back. "And Scott, just remember, two things: 1. I won't tell anyone else about your phobia, and 2. Even if the others find out, we'll always love you - warts and all."

The eldest nodded and let himself relax into the comfort of the bed as Virgil flew them back back to Tracy Island...

When he later on woke up safe and sound in the Island's infirmary, brought there to double check the stitches and ensure no infection, he found his left hand was resting on something soft, and fluffy.

Picking it up, he found it was a tie dyed octopus. Just the right size to put in his baldric... just in case.

"Thanks Gordon," he said, smiling.

World peace is precariously balanced on a knife’s edge. One wrong move could have disastrous consequences. An untold number of deaths would closely follow. Those who know about the delicate world state notice a highly distressing trend: a series of deaths and kidnappings of important people and those closest around them.

The group, The Collective, are carrying out these missions and they were highly trained and unrecognisable. These missions wouldn’t be linked together if it wasn’t for their signature, a black business card left in the bloodbath.  

A team is quickly put together with one goal; find and eliminate The Collective, no matter the cost. By whatever means necessary. The only problem. The one chosen to lead. They were no better than them. A burnt spy, an ex-assassin and an ex member of The Collective, they alone were said to be responsible for a high number of violent killings.  

But in order to keep the delicate peace, sometimes pardoning the enemy of thy enemy is a necessary evil…

                              Bloodshed, chaos and death await.

[Short Story] [Drafting] [Horror] [Third Person] [Co. Armagh, Northern Ireland]

If you enter these woods after dark, don’t expect to come back at all. Alive or dead. If you do find yourself trying to spend the night, for the love of God, just stay inside your tent. No matter what. Just ignore the sounds of the woods. Just stay inside. Ignore everything. The screams of your friends who thought they would be brave and venture off.

Despite the constant warnings that surrounded the woods, people, mainly teenagers who wished to prove how brave they were, still ventured into them. Trying to stay the night. But these warnings were there for a reason. Anything can happen, but what happened to the waves of campers was never known. The prevailing thought was that these woods were the hunting grounds of a local killer. Some thought it was the disgruntled ageing farmer. An uncommon theory was that the woods held some sort of supernatural power. Maybe even a portal to Hell. No one knew the truth.

After dark there were no survivors.

Critical Mass - Prologue

(While I’m still writing this for NaNo, I have no self control - @chuck-hansens​ did this to me. This isn’t the final version, but please let me know what you think!)

Ring of Kafrene

It had once been a populous mining site, home to a multitude of cultures and corporations, but the collapse of the Empire lead to many of the mines being closed down – no more Death Stars to build after all – and the area fell into disrepair. The Hutts attempted to take control of the area, but their reach had dwindled over the past decade, leaving the station in the hands of local gangs. It had become a hotbed of illegal activity – not that things had been easygoing under Imperial rule – with a reputation that rivaled some of the Outer Rim worlds.

So, of course his person of interest would be holed up here. 

Poe Dameron sighed as he stepped into the space port, vaguely paying attention as the docking clamps ground into place. The old, two-seater freighter was a far cry from his T-70, but the point of the mission was to not draw attention to himself. Also to preferably not get his ship stolen. An X-Wing wouldn’t last more than an hour in this space port. He didn’t even think the freighter would, and that rusting block hadn’t seen active service since before the Clone Wars. 

BB-8 rolled up beside him, gently nudging his boot and whistling softly. 

“Yeah, buddy, I’m starting to think I should have left you home too,” he replied.

The air was stale and stank of grease, oil, and other things he’d rather not think about. Most of the equipment was retrofitted mining machinery with exposed wires and layers of rust. Something electrical was sparking on the far end of the docking bay, and there was a lone astromech lying on the ground. Occasionally it beeped, but no one seemed to care. 

Inside the station was bound to be interesting. 

“I wouldn’t linger, if I were you.”

Poe turned to the bay doors, finding them open and occupied by a dark green Rodian. He was tapping on a datapad. 

“This level’s got a faulty grid. Power tends to cut and then you’re off for a nice – if brief – space trip.”

Panicking, BB-8 cried, launching a cable into the nearest wall. 

Poe pat the poor droid before walking to the doors. Eventually, he heard the sound of his friend rolling behind him – and then rapidly in front of him. 

“What’s my docking fee?” he asked, feeling a small amount of relief when the doors closed behind him. 

“Hundred fifty credits first day. One hundred for every day after.”

“And what’s the fee if I don’t want my ship to go mysteriously missing?”

If Rodians were capable of smiling, the one before him would be grinning from ear to ear. 

“Add another fifty credits on top,” the Rodian replied, accepting his credit chit. “Here I thought you were another one of those Core pilots. Come to this heap looking for adventure, and they lose everything but the clothes on their backs. Sometimes, they lose those too.”

“I used to be,” Poe said, walking down the narrow corridor. He ignored the way the lights flickered as he walked by, as well as what could be described as whimpering on BB-8’s part. 

The doors at the end opened slowly, grinding on gears that were undoubtedly rusted as well, revealing an unusual world. 

The Ring of Kafrene was an outpost that connected two asteroids. There was no atmosphere, gravity, or vegetation. It was rock and metal, a self-contained unit that relied heavily on trade to keep running. Problem was, Kafrene didn’t lie on any well-traveled trade routes. Without the allure of a thriving mining community, most vessels moved on to safer, better known stops. 

Metal towers, conduits, and piping shot upward for as far as Poe could see. The air was thick with steam and other chemicals being churned into the atmosphere out of various vents, clouding the passageways so that there always appeared to be a fog. Everything was a shade of brown, and he doubted that it started that way. 

Outside the few windowpanes, ships drifted outside. As did garbage.

Aliens of every type shuffled around the area, some in piloting gear, others armed to the teeth, a few sat on the ground begging for spare credits. A bounty hunter dragged a shouting Dug through the crowd. No one reacted. Most just moved along, quiet and plodding. It was another day for them. 

“Maybe I still am,” he whispered. 

He wandered with the crowd for some time, actively keeping BB-8 in front of him – only three passersby attempted to interact with the droid, each met with the same number of volts – until he came across the cantina he was looking for. At least it smelled like something remotely edible over the same stale air. 

A young Twi’lek held her hand up as he entered the space, looking him over like she could smell the offworlder on him. 

“We don’t serve droids here.”

Poe looked down at BB-8, who looked up at him. They both looked at the droid working behind the bar, serving drinks and making programmed small talk. 

“Well, I’ve never seen a droid eat anything.”

Her eyes glazed over, pupils momentarily scraping the top of her head, before she sighed and moved on, handing drinks over to a rowdy table of miners. 

Poe shrugged, and sauntered up to the bar, taking a seat on one of the stools.

And there he waited. 

Time passed slowly, and Poe had to actively restrain himself from constantly checking the door. General Organa’s mission layout was simple: the contact would come to him. He wasn’t to move until then. 

Three days ago, C-3PO received an encoded message from one of his contacts – frankly, the idea that a protocol droid had an underground spy network at his proverbial fingertips was still strange to him – detailing a curious event that had occurred on Canto Bight. It alleged that a First Order operative had gone rogue. Leia had decided to err on the side of caution until yesterday when 3PO received a second transmission from this space port. 

It was potentially the largest lead on the First Order they had ever received – someone who was actually on the inside, and actively seeking a way out – yet Leia had still offered him a choice. It would be dangerous – and was possibly a trap – and if he felt the risk was too great, then they would leave it be. 

“It’s like you don’t know me, General,” he’d said with a smile. “I haven’t met a risk yet that wasn’t worth the effort.”

Her smile wasn’t quite there. “Sometimes, Dameron, I wish you had.”

He’d spent the entire trip mulling over those words. 

The Gran that had been occupying the bar since he arrived stood to leave, mumbling some obscenities as he shuffled toward the door. That left Poe alone at the bar – nearly alone in the cantina minus the miner party – and a little sullen at that. A crowded place was better for meeting. Here might have been downright suspicious. 

He chanced a glance at the door. 

“You humans never were good at being subtle.” 

Poe looked back to the droid behind the bar. It was a tall, thin thing, with one red sensor that watched him. Perhaps the only thing not rusting in the area, it still maintained a metallic sheen. Someone had jokingly tied a bow tie to what would have been its neck region. 

“Excuse me?” 

The entire time, the droid had been speaking in simple phrases, exhibiting a simple etiquette programming, but that appeared to have been a ruse on its part. 

“Your species fidgets too much. It has a low tolerance for sitting still. Imagine how little would get done if a droid acted the same way.”

Poe lowered his voice. “Are you…?”

He could have sworn the droid looked disappointed. “Were you expecting something organic?”

You know, he really didn’t have an answer for that. 

Poe waited as the droid continued cleaning the bar top, now acutely aware of how much movement his body was making. He continually caught his fingers tapping on the counter-top and would put his hands on his lap, only then his knee would start bouncing. BB-8 had grabbed his foot with a little claw to keep it still. 

“You’re not helping.”

The droid whistled shrilly.

Poe pointed a finger at him. “That was rude.”

Eventually, the bar droid placed a small cup in front of him without a word. Poe watched it briefly, but it no longer acknowledged him, chirping out a chipper greeting to a Talz that had just entered. 

Inside the cup was a small data drive.

Poe watched it a moment, wondering if he shouldn’t pretend to take a drink. Instead, he counted to one hundred, grabbed the drive, and made his way out of the cantina. 

The crowds had died down slightly, apparently having gone through a shift change when he first entered. Still, there was a steady current of aliens traveling down the narrow passageways. Poe let himself be directed by them, hoping to blend in as much as possible until he chanced upon a more private setting. 

They passed through a small market place, where the citizens of the station haggled over used equipment and fried food. The walk became suffocating as it was apparent that the stalls had not initially been considered as part of the station’s original layout, leaving the travelers packed shoulder to shoulder. 

A small fist fight broke out, knocking over a fruit stand. This led to several individuals grabbing the wayward Jogan fruit and making a run for it, leaving the owner cursing in what he thought was Huttese. 

Poe took the momentary chaos as an opportunity to stray from the beaten path, taking a narrow passageway that was lined with piping and probably served as more of a maintenance access. It widened out at the middle, opening up to a chamber that was filled with steam drifting from various vents rising up through dozens of levels. BB-8 just barely managed to roll through, leaving him somewhat confident that they would be alright for the time being. 

“Alright, buddy,” he said, taking a knee before BB-8 and handing out the drive. “Let’s see what you can make of this.”

BB-8 beep in acknowledgement, taking the drive. It only took a moment for his systems to process the data, producing a hologram of a still image – a young woman looking over her shoulder, face slightly blurred – and a few sentences of info. 

“Arrived on the station in an unauthorized Republic ship,” Poe mumbled, confused by how random the information seemed to be. “Logs wiped clean. Dock personnel unable to locate. Incident on level eighty-two involving half a dozen casualties potentially tied to her. I don’t know, this seems like a lot of loosely connected stuff. How do we know it’s her?”

His droid whistled and another image appeared, this one dated for the incident in Canto Bight. The projection wasn’t nearly as clear as the first, but Poe could tell it was clearly the same woman. 

“Alright,” Poe acknowledged, standing up at the holograms disappeared. “So, now we just have to find her…in the middle of all this. Yeah, no problem.”

The droid beeped.

“Yes, I know I said it would be worth it.”

Poe ran a hand over his face. It wouldn’t have been the first time he was wrong. 

“Is that a BB-series astromech?!” 

Startled by the sudden voice, Poe almost pulled the blaster hidden in his jacket, but was able to restrain himself long enough to get a good look at the boy that was now watching them from the opening. 

He couldn’t have been older than ten, staring at them with curious hazel eyes and a grin nearly too big for his face. His blonde hair stuck up in all directions, his clothes were covered in grease and grime, and in his hand, he held a single Jogan fruit, clearly having taken advantage of the tussle as well. 

BB-8 whistled, his head bobbing back and forth like a proud little shake. 

“How did you get one here?” the boy asked, darting out from the narrow passageway and fallen to his knees in front of the droid. “Last decent looking droid I saw got scrapped for parts within the hour.”

Ignoring the cries of panic from his friend, Poe actually smiled at the kid. At least someone around the area hadn’t had their spirits dampened yet. 

“Beebee-Ate isn’t about to go down with out a fight, and trust me, this guy’s got a lot of it in him,” he replied, patting the droid.

“Has he seen a lot of action?”

Poe shrugged. “A skirmish or two. Nothing he couldn’t handle.”

BB-8 was practically humming from the attention. 

The boy looked up at him. “So, you’re not from around here. Why come to this place? We’re not exactly near anything.”

“Business.”

“What kind of business?”

Poe felt his eyes narrowing. “What’s with all the questions, kid?”

The boy shrugged, taking a bite from the Jogan. “I have to ask them.”

“Why?”

“I needed to distract you somehow,” he replied, eyes landing on something that was definitely behind him. 

Poe didn’t even get the chance to reach for his blaster before something struck the back of his knee, hard, and his leg crumpled to the ground. The other leg followed suit as something struck it as well, except when it hit the ground, he felt a mass remain there, applying pressure to his calf. It felt like a knee. 

An arm wrapped around his neck, squeezing. The pressure wasn’t enough to render him unconscious, but warned that the outcome was possible if he didn’t comply. 

A shot fired, an electrical burst striking BB-8. The poor droid short-circuited, his components shooting out haphazardly before his systems automatically shut down to prevent further damage to his internal drives. 

“Hey! What are you-” Poe choked as the arm squeezed tighter, making his vision pulse. He held his hands up in surrender. “Okay. Okay.”

The boy frowned. “Sorry.”

He felt the attacker’s hand reach under his jacket, securing the blaster. 

“Can I have it?” the boy asked, face lighting up briefly before he assumed the attacker gave him a look. The frown returned. “Okay.”

“So, I take it you’re the fugitive from the First Order, right?” Poe asked, risking further damage to himself, but the arm did not squeeze again. “I mean, you have to be. You’re not asking for any credits.”

There was no response.

“You didn’t shoot me, which is nice. Means you don’t want me dead. And if you don’t want me dead, that means I have something you want, right?”

Still nothing. 

“You know, I’ve never been good at these guessing games. You’re gonna have to speak u-”

Their free hand slapped against his forehead, pulling his head back until he had a good – albeit upside down – view of their face. 

And there she was, the woman in the hologram. 

She was young, somewhere around his age, though the stern look on her face made her look older. Her dark hair was falling out of a bun, framing a bruised face – the incident wasn’t completely one sided then – and equally dark eyes. 

“Do all members of the Resistance talk this much?”

“No. Just me,” he mumbled. “I’ve been told it’s a problem.”

She sighed and shoved his head forward again.

“Get the droid,” she ordered. The boy dropped his fruit and immediately went to BB-8, pushing all his components back in place.

Poe watched it happen, slowly moving his free leg to the side. If he could just knock her off balance, he might have a chance. 

When the time felt right, he clasped her arm with both hands and pushed with his leg, careening them both to the side. Using his weight against her, Poe made her land on her back, the force of his shoulders striking her chest causing her arm to release him. 

He scrambled out of her grasp, rolling to the side, but the woman recovered fast. Poe felt her hands grasp the back of his jacket, halting his escape attempt and pulling him back. She swung her leg over his body, sitting on his chest, this time not bothering to ease the pressure. Breathing was difficult. 

She pointed a blaster at him. 

“Using the stun setting within two feet of a target causes irreparable damage to the nervous system,” the woman said, the words tumbling from her mouth without a single inflection, as if she was reciting it from a lesson. “You won’t be doing that again.”

Poe Dameron couldn’t help but wonder if General Organa wasn’t suddenly feeling smug at that moment.

klaus hargreeves x reader • part 2

🌟authors note: this plot line is a little bit of my own creation, besides what happens in the t.v show. this one is also based on a fem. reader! i am going to start a gender neutral mini series very soon!

👻summary: klaus and y/n never saw each other as siblings, even though they grew up together. they saw each other as friends, lovers. but when the hargreeve children left the umbrella academy, klaus and y/n never saw each other again. but when reginald hargreeve’s death pops up unexpected, the children, now adults, meet again. and klaus and y/n meet again…

🔅word count: 2005

we sat on his bed. i sat against the wall, with my feet hanging off the edge of the bed. whilst klaus laid down with his head resting on a pillow, legs over mine. we didn’t say anything to each other. i looked at the interesting pictures on the wall. one that caught my eye, was a small eyeball. klaus always did have a thing for art. whether that be drawing, painting, tattoos or music. he loved it all. 

“so... how are you?” i questioned, playing with the hem of the skirt that klaus still wore. 

“well, lets see,” he said flicking the built up ash that had lingered on the end of his cigarette, off it. “i have been in and out of rehab, and have been addicted to drugs and alcohol for the past 7 years or so.”

i sat there, on the bed, playing with my small fingers. i felt awful. all this time i was wallowing at home. klaus needed help. he needed someone. and i was to caught up in my emotions, that i didn’t even bother checking up on him to see if he wanted to talk. or the least, see if he was okay. 

“oh, and i haven’t seen you in the past - what? 16 years?” he added.

that made me feel worse. i really was stupid. i convinced myself since i was a child that i loved this man with all my heart and strength. and yet i can’t even seem to push myself to make a proper sentence of an apology. i continued to sit on his bed, playing with my hands. that’s when i decided that i needed to say at least one sentence. even if it wasn’t a lot.

“i’m sorry klaus. i should have messaged you. at least called you. and i was so caught up in myself, that i forgot. and now, we are sat here reminiscing about the past.” i spoke, voice trembled. 

klaus pushed his body up off from the bed. he then turned away and put out the cigarette on the oak bedside cabinet, that was near him. if reginald was alive, he would have scolded klaus. saying that the piece of grotesque furniture cost over $100. but now that he was dead, klaus did what he wanted. not that he didn’t do that before. after he put the cigarette out, he brought himself closer to me, legs still hung over mine. he put his hand on either side of my face, bringing me closer to him. 

“listen - we all made mistakes. dear old dad would say the biggest mistake of our lives, would be the fact that we were so into each other, we fell in love.” his green eyes delved deep into my e/c eyes. it almost felt as if he was trying to search for something within me.

i wanted to ask klaus something in that moment. but i couldn’t bring myself to ask him. but i did anyway. what’s the harm in asking?

“klaus?” 

“yes lovely?” he replied, still staring at me, his eyes fixated on mine.

“do you still love me?”

his thick dark eyebrows furrowed. his face twisted in dismal way. 

“y/n, it’s been 16 years-” he started.

“no - it’s fine. i understand. it was a stupid question anyway.” i said in a forlorn way. i fell back against the wall, his hands no longer on my face, but on my knees. 

“wait - you didn’t let me finish y/n dear.”

i studied for something to read. all i could see was him. klaus. so my head naturally dropped.

“what i was gonna say was, it’s been 16 years. in those 16 years, i have abused too many illegal shit and alcohol. but i wasn’t just taking them to suppress the ghosts and the voices which i see and hear. it was because the person that i loved and cherished so much, had been rid of me. and now, i can’t seem to stop taking this menacing things, because after you left, i couldn’t seem to control my powers and it all became a little too much for me.”

i sat on the bed in silence, talking in every little detail that came from his lips. 

“but now that i can see you,” he lifted up my chin and made me look into his handsome eyes once more. “now that i can touch you,” klaus put both his hands on either side of my face again. “now that i can hear you, i feel a bit better than i did before.” he broke out a small frail smile. 

this was the first real time that klaus had really shown any of his emotions towards me. and it broke my heart to know that he felt that way. i was so in the moment, that i hadn’t realised that small trails of salt had since wavered their wa down my cheeks. klaus’ thumbs surpassed them and wiped them away.

“i’m so sorry klaus. i wish i hadn’t left you all alone. i wish i could take back time all those years ago, and i wish i would have left with you.” i sobbed in his hands.

“shh, shh, shh. don’t cry. christ on a cracker, we shouldn’t be upset about this. we should be happy that we’re seeing each other!” he chuckled sorrowfully. 

i giggled at his charisma.

“see! now that-" he then pointed at my smile. “that is the y/n i love!” he exclaimed. 

i giggled more. when i had stopped giggling at his silly attempts to make laugh. i looked at him further. he had stopped goofing around and became aware of my staring. he edged his body nearer to mine and was practically sitting on my lap. his hands stroked my cheeks and held them firmly. as if i was going to disappear again. 

“i love you y/n.” he said. gazing lovingly into my eyes.

“i love you too klaus.” i said in a hushed tone. 

his lips then collided with mine. the texture of his lips was so soft. but the scruff that had since grown around his chin and top lip, scratched at my chin. but i wasn’t fazed. because i loved him. i wrapped my arms around his neck and buried my hands in his dark curly hair. as i slightly tugged at klaus’ hair, he let out a small groan. klaus pulled away momentarily. he pushed himself off of my lap and dug me into the mattress. he then climbed his way back on top. his lips found mine again, and we were soon in each others’ embrace once more. his hands found their way down to my hips and stayed there. holding on tightly, not letting me go. as we kissed, the faint smell and taste of the past cigarettes he had smoked, loitered on his breathe and tongue. klaus’ lips left mine and wavered over my neck. he then planted small kisses below my ear. it tickled a bit. but i left it at that. klaus continued peppering small amounts of affection on my collarbone. 

“klaus - the others are gonna see that.” i laughed, as he continued without a care.

“and? let them see. you’re mine, i can show my love in many ways sweetheart.” he said in a deep voice. 

oh lord. 

when he had had enough, he scrambled his way to my lips. and gaveme one last kiss, before he fell on top of me and sunk his head into my belly, his hands still wrapped securely around my waist. 

“i missed you.” klaus said.

“i missed you too, you nutter.” i chuckled. 

klaus lifted his head from my stomach and gazed at me. 

“how rude, you dare call me a nutter.” he gasped in mock offense. 

“shut up you.” i flicked his forehead. 

“ow.” klaus whined before he rested his head back on my stomach.

he began to play with them hem of my black t-shirt. i looked down at his legs to see they were on show.

“oh wow, you still have that damn skirt on.” i laughed. 

klaus looked at his bare legs.

“what? tu n’aime pas ça?” he said, looking hurt, which he wasn’t. 

“i never said that did i, i just never thought i would see the day you flaunt a skirt better than me.” i replied, smiling widely. 

“y/n, sweetheart, i flaunt everything.” klaus smirked.

“well - that’s one thing that hasn’t changed about you.” i said, playing with his curls.

“that being?” he replied.

“your sass and humour, it never seems to not make me laugh.” i said. 

“well, you haven’t changed either love.” klaus kissed my stomach through my t-shirt. 

“how?” i asked.

“you’re loving side is still as strong as it was 16 years ago. you make me feel more sober than i have in 7 years. and most of all, you still love me as much as you did 16 years ago. and for that, i love you even more than i once did.” klaus smiled up at me. 

i smiled back at him. 

“klaus?” 

“hm?” he hummed.

“promise me something.”

“what lovely?”

“promise me, that you will try to sober up. promise me you won’t waste your money on drugs and alcohol anymore. i don’t care how long it takes, just try for me.” i pleaded.

if klaus wanted to stay with me, then he would have to co-operate with me and at least try and achieve sobriety. 

“i will try y/n, it isn’t easy, i’ve tried. i keep seeing ghosts and hearing voices. and it’s most of the time,gets a little too much. and i want to feel numb. that’s how i got into them in the first place. after you left, the feeling of feeling numb when i was with you was gone, so i had to take the matter into my own hands. and waste what little money i have on drugs to keep the ghosts and voices at bay.” he said. 

“of course it will be hard klaus, you have been dependant on these things for just over 7 years. but like i said, i don’t care how long it takes. as long as you try for me. try for us.” i said, stroking his hair, easing his nerves. like i used to do when we were younger. 

“i will try, i promise.” i said, nuzzling his face more into my stomach. 

“anyways. that’s what i’m here for. i can make you feel better. my powers can help. however, that doesn’t mean you get to abuse that privilege as well.” i grunted.

“yeah, i know. and i wouldn’t do that to you.” klaus lifted his head and arm. he stroked my cheek with his fingers. 

“boop.” he said as he flicked my nose. 

i flinched and scrunched my face together. i then poked my tongue out. klaus laughed. i felt the vibrations of his laugh pour through his chest and through me. it made me feel safe. 

“i missed this.” i stated.

“i missed this too. but now we’re together, i feel a whole lot better.”

“me too.”

he shifted his body and made himself comfortable, before going limp in my arms. 

“i’m gonna catch up on some well needed sleep.” klaus closed his eyes. he looked so at peace. so i didn’t make a fuss. 

“okay, you fall asleep klausy.” i called him by the nickname he had adopted from me when we were younger. “and if you have a nightmare, know that i’m here to keep you safe.”

“okay - i love you y/n.” he hummed, as he fell asleep on me.

“i love you too klaus.”

and with that he fell asleep in my embrace. and i kept him safe from the dark world he called night terrors. in that moment, he had promised me that would try and keep away from drugs and alcohol and achieve sobriety. and i believed he could do it. i knew he could do it...

Donald Pierce x Reader - “Tainted Heart” [Part 2]

When you confront your boyfriend about how secretive he is being, he finally tells you what his actual job is. Understanding that the side of him you fell in love with was only a lie, you ban him from your house but find it more complicated to let him go when you discover something that would change your future completely. Donald reappears a few days later, trying to make amends, will you be able to forgive him?

Requested by 3 anons: “Can I request a Donnie fic where the reader has been dating him for a while and they live together and everything but he doesn’t tell her exactly what he does and she starts to think that he’s cheating on her when he has to go out for meeting and shit, you can the ending angsts or fluffy”

“Hey can I request a really angsts Donald pierce bit, where basically the reader and Donnie get in an argument and it’s a proper screaming match and they don’t talk to each other for s bit, you can end it how you want but I thought it would be a fun idea because I’m really in the mood for some angst”

“Can u write sth with donald pierce and reader where donald comes into their house out of nowhere with logan laura and professor x to help them hide just like the scene from avengers age of ultron? (Reader is pregnant)”

A/N: I COMBINED THREE REQUESTED INTO A TWO PART SERIES, I’M A GENIUS!! Not really

Warning: violence, language, fighting, angst.

Hugging the pillow on her lap, the girl’s eyes stayed on the TV screen. She didn’t know what to do with herself and thankfully, her boss was kind enough to give her a few days off. 

Her mind had wandered, far from the movie, and towards her boyfriend -- well, ex-boyfriend.

A frustrated sigh escaped her lips, this sucks, big time!

Her crying only picked up at how everything was a lie, she couldn’t believe everything their relationship was built on was only fake, the work he did made him a lot of money, she just thought he strived at his job, not that it was so illegal it paid so well.

(Y/N) was dating a monster, a heartless beast that entertained himself with guarding abused children that were to be turned into weapons. 

She didn’t know if it was the crying or watching TV so early in the morning and eating something she wasn’t supposed to but she felt her stomach churn and before she could realise what she was doing, her feet were instinctively racing her towards the bathroom. 

Her hands gripped the toilet seat and she threw up bitterly. After emptying her stomach, she slumped against the wall and sat there for a few moments. 

It started a few days before she confronted her boyfriend, so two days after he left for that horrible job of his. 

Her time of the month was in a while, so she had no way of knowing if it was delayed or not.

The only thought that itched her, the constant vomiting that felt too foreign to be any type of food poisoning, the very active sexual life she had with Pierce. 

It wouldn’t hurt her if she got herself tested right? Only two tests to reduce any errors and boom, all her worries are at bay.

But what if she was pregnant?

****

Her feet trudged to the closest pharmacy, opening the door and scanning the isles. (Y/N) didn’t want to meet anyone she knew at the moment, no body she knew, and especially, not her ex. 

Her hand grasped one that she had seen advertised countless times on media, however, also decided to reach for another brand, just to be sure. 

The woman couldn’t bear to make eye contact with the cashier, fearing that all the raw emotions she was feeling could were worn in her colourful irises. Placing both boxes on the counter and, she waited as he gave her the price. 

It was a quick exchange before her nose buried itself in her coat and her shoes scurried back home. 

****

She paced nervously along the table and stared at the time. 

Only a minute or so now. 

It felt like an entire century before the result started appearing and the only thing she could hear and feel was her too rapid heartbeat.

 She was tested positive, on both.

“Shit!” she slammed it against the counter in anger, why did she have to be pregnant, a week or so earlier she would be more than happy, but knowing the monster he actually was tore her to shreds. 

A knock on her door stopped her from even considering what she would do with the baby. 

Hiding the tests and washing her hands, she announced her arrival before opening the door and freezing in her steps.

Her breath caught in her throat as her eyes landed on the person in front of her. They just stared at each other for a moment before she gulped and murmured.

“What have I told you?” it was a rhetorical question and she wasn’t expecting what he was going to say after -- only expecting him to try and defend himself.

“I know you hate me, but I need you to shelter three people for me,” he whispered, nodding to his car.

The backseat window was very barely open and her eyes could distinguish dark brown eyes awkwardly looking at the both of them. 

Searching, she also vaguely distinguished another silhouette in the front seat behind the tinted windows.

“Everyone is out to kill them, us,” Donald trailed off. 

Her fingertips tapped against the doorframe in thought before she sighed in defeat.

“Not everyone,” her hand push the door to open it wider and her ex nodded to the people in the car and they quickly scurried out.

The woman’s heart leapt out of her chest at the sight of a gruff, tired-looking bearded man, an old man in a wheelchair that looked easily in his late seventies, and finally, a thick-skinned girl. 

Despite how ill the man appeared, his grave voice offered her a disgruntled thank you. The intimidating aura he radiated was soon washed over with the grateful thanks the older man gave her.

When they made dinner and prepared rooms for the guests, only (Y/N) and Donald stood facing each other against the kitchen counter and the kitchen island.

“Talk,” was the only word she said. The girl conveyed it with such cold and venom, but Pierce knew how much he wounded her, and he entirely admitted to his mistake.

“Before we broke up, I was rarely at home because the firm ordered me to search for them. The time we broke up was when we tracked them and we were keeping an eye on them to know when to strike, but after our fight, I found it more difficult to keep at it, the chase, the battles, everything.” He took a deep breath after he realised how low his voice had gotten. 

“The only reason I didn’t quit earlier was because I knew they would hunt for every single person I knew and cherished, to kill everyone.” 

“You were indispensable?” 

“Not necessarily, they would do it to clean up every trace of illegal activity that might have been rumored because of us. I didn’t want to put you in danger,” 

“And now?” 

“Now,” he took in a much needed breath, “I realised that it would have been better to be in love and on the run than breaking your heart and keeping you safe,” the man turned around, slowly, preparing to walk to the couch and expecting her to stay quiet.

(Y/N) gripped his bomber jacket. Pierce stopped in his tracks but didn’t dare turn back.

“I never said I didn’t love you, I’m mad and heartbroken because of you, yes, but I never stopped loving you,” she admitted. 

He turned around, a gleam of hope in his eyes. 

“Don’t give me that look Donnie, I feel like shit, b-but I can’t let you go easily,” she nearly let a sob escape, it was so unfair, everything was happening so quickly and she could barely keep up as things were being thrown at her and new obstacles were being added to her load. 

“Why not?” he whispered. Behind her teary eyes, she managed to meet his gaze without breaking down.

“I’m-” a difficult gulp went down her throat as she placed her palm on her stomach, “I’m pregnant,” silent tears streamed down her cheeks and she let herself engulf in a protective hug from Pierce. His lips kissed her forehead, breathing in her scent that he had missed so much.

“We’ll get through this, together,” he held her hand tightly, but she pulled back, still a little fragile about what his job is.

“N-no, give me time, p-please,” she cried. Donnie frowned, feeling somehow worse about himself as he saw first hand how wounded he left her in.

“As much time as you need,” 

Through rough times, I won’t stop following you for doing the right thing.

At All Costs

For @pillarspromptsweekly fill 98: Reputation. Broke out Josetta again and regret nothing. Title is the name of the quest, because I couldn’t think of anything better.

---

She was late. Josetta cursed under her breath as she hurried through the streets toward Ondra’s Gift. She hadn’t been late once yet the whole time working for Mestre Verzano. Tempted as she’d been a time or two--it had to be the most mind-numbingly dull job in all Defiance Bay--she had been raised to keep her word. And even if Mestre Verzano wouldn’t care, Liena almost definitely would, and Josetta had no desire for a black mark on her record.

She neatly dodged between people, silently thanking Hylea at least the Gift wasn’t as busy at this hour as Copperlane or Brackenbury. Despite her best efforts, however, Liena fixed her with a chastising look when she swept  through the door.

“Oversleep, did we?” she asked blandly. “I warned you all the midnight oil you burn would catch up to you.”

Josetta rolled her eyes and shook her head. “I was awake in plenty of time. The delay came from spilling my breakfast all down my front because I tripped over a loose board. Had to change, ac? And then got caught by the bustle and crowds I’m usually early enough to avoid...” She ran one hand over her braids, even though she knew all seven were still firmly done from last night. Nedra had helped, and old as the woman was, her braids were still top-notch.

“Since it’s the first time in nine months, I won’t mark it down,” Liena conceded with a small smile. “You are a hard worker, Josetta, and more reliable than most.” She snorted and jerked her head toward the back room. “The old man’s so distracted today, he likely won’t even notice.”

“Agracima, Liena,” Josetta smiled in relief. She hung up her cloak and hurried to the warehouse stockroom, russet skirt swirling around her ankles.

Mestre Verzano was standing in the stockroom, calling out directions to the other workers as he played with his dinged up old pocket watch. He definitely seemed just as agitated as Liena hinted, and indeed didn’t even acknowledge Josetta as she passed on her way to the accounting stations. “...should be here by now....” he was muttering.

Bennet flashed a knowing look, and his lips curved in a smirk when he saw her.  “I keep telling you South Alley’s faster, Jos.”

Josetta rolled her eyes. “Ac, because nothing would happen to a woman alone traveling that route.”

“Not during the day,” Bennet clarified, nudging his spectacles higher on the bridge of his nose. “I’m not saying it’s a good path home, just that during daylight hours there’s enough kith you should be safe, but not so many you’re late for work. Just keep it in mind for emergencies, is all I’m suggesting.”

“Suggestion noted,” Josetta said crisply, settling on her stool. “What are we working on this morning?”

“Bills of lading.” Bennet gave her an exaggerated smile as he passed over a thick sheaf of parchment. “Have fun.”

It could be worse, she reminded herself as she scanned the cramped or near-illegible rows of handwriting that covered the pages. You could still be at that tavern. Or working for the seamstress. At least here there’s sunlight and no one pinching your backside. It didn’t mean the morning’s work would be any more fun, but the perspective did help.

Josetta had been at work for a couple hours, carefully copying lists of goods received and their value to the company records, when Mestre Verzano had a visitor. There was only one reason--well, two--he would have visitors at the company office, and the tan, rough-clad elven woman definitely didn’t look like a Trading Company representative.

“Merla,” she hissed.

Bennet looked up from his ledgers at her quiet oath and groaned in disbelief. “Is he at it again?”

Josetta nodded, rubbing her eyes as Mestre Verzano made brief small talk with the elf before handing her a small bag. “Postenago’s going to get himself killed and we’ll be working for the Doemenels before the month is out.”

“With your dreams, I wouldn’t have figured you for such a pessimist, Jos,” Bennet said dryly as they watched the elf leave. Mestre Verzano approached one of the warehouse guards and murmured something to him.

“There’s nothing pessimistic about knowing how the world works, Bennet,” she sighed. “Side dealing around a crime family always catches up to you. And the Doemenels have already given him several warnings. Knowing what comes next is no more pessimistic than knowing what Nedra’s serving for dinner tonight.”

He shrugged and grunted a concession and they got back to work.

---

It was only an hour, maybe a little more, before the elf returned with friends at her back. “Care to explain why the Doemenels want you dead?” she asked, loudly and without preamble. “What the fuck did you have me do?”

Josetta and Bennet exchanged a look and slid  off their stools, edging closer to the doorway so they could hear.

Just in time to see Mestre Verzano’s eyes widen as he tugged on his beard.  “They were there? I was so careful. they shouldn’t have known, how did they know?”

The warehouse guards tensed at his agitation, a few laying hands on weapons as slow, measured footsteps approached.

“Maybe you were right,” Bennet muttered. Josetta tossed him an almost sarcastic smile in response. 

The footsteps were not one of the Doemenels. They belongs to a tall, imposing woman Josetta vaguely recognized. She was a mes Rèi; god-touched, member of the Five Suns and the only connection the ducs bels deigned to keep with Mestre Verzano. usually bringing reprimands or warning. Today she paused in the doorway, arms crossed as a darkly humored smile tugged at her lips. “Ah, is this your last day among the living, Verzano?”

“Impeccable timing, Tella Pallegina,” Verzano managed, voice shaking as he turned from the elf. He wrung his hands and held them out pleadingly toward the paladin. “Please, please, the Doemenels, they are after me! You must stop them!”

She snorted, golden eyes flickering disdainfully. “I must? No, no, Verzano. The Republics only considered you an investment worth preserving based on your success.” She looked around the half-empty warehouse as if to underscore her point. “That success hinges on your cooperation with locals. Such as the Doemenels. As you have lost that...” She fixed him with a meaningful look that tied Josetta’s stomach in knots, “you have also lost the favor of the ducs.”

So much for this being a respectable job, Josetta groaned inwardly.

“Even assuming you got out of this alive, they are done with you,” Pallegina continued. “There are much more important issues in Defiance Bay than rescuing a man who threw himself overboard.”

“Per complanca, Pallegina!” Mestre Verzano cried, falling to his knees. “You can’t mean... Whatever shame I’ve brought on myself, I don’t stand a chance against the Doemenels, you know this! Surely you don’t intend to watch your countryman cut down like a dog!”

Pallegina simply stared at him, one brow arching in disdain. “A dog would die with more dignity, I think. You know where my orders come from, ac? Why waste your precious remaining breaths trying to change them instead of crying for mercy to the one person here who may grant it?”

Her gaze and Verzano’s--as well as Josetta and Bennet’s--went to the rough-looking elf, who had been watching the whole exchange with an expression Josetta couldn’t quite read on her face and arms crossed. With attention on her now, the elf shrugged and exchanged looks with a couple of her companions.  “Sure, I can do that. Got no love for the fuckin’ Doemenels, an’ they don’t scare me.”

Pallegina snorted. “You have some saint looking out for you, Verzano. Just don’t come knocking at the embassy after she saves your sorry hide.” With a final dry smirk toward Mestre Verzano, she turned on her heel and strode out.

Josetta bit her lip. If the Doemenels were coming here, perhaps it would be wise for her and Bennet to hide. True, the scrapper elf and her motley collection of friends looked capable of handling anything thrown at them, but regardless of circumstance, the Doemenels were... not fond of witnesses. She turned to make the suggestion--

And found a gleaming dagger mere inches from her face, held by a dark clad thug standing over Bennet’s crumpled form.

“Scream an’ you’re dead,” the thug warned just above a whisper. “Keep quiet, maybe you an’ you friend here walk away alive.”

Josetta nodded, lips pressed together, relieved by the tacit confirmation Bennet was currently just unconscious. She backed against the wall to be out of the way as another thug followed the first one in. Both moved toward the doorway as a voice Josetta recognized as one of the Doemenel children rose in mock surprise.

“What a shock to see you here,” the Doemenel jibed, her tone dripping honey.  “You hardly struck me as the type to run a charity, protecting weak old fools from the fate they’ve earned.”

Josetta hesitated briefly before peeking around the door frame, her curiosity getting the better of her. The elf’s group was half a dozen against twice as many Doemenel thugs, not to mention the daughter of the house.

“However,” the Doemenel said with a cavalier shrug as she drew her rapier, “if you want to die with Verzano, it makes no difference to me.”

The elf grinned and cracked her knuckles. “That assumes I’ll be the one fuckin’ dyin’, prissy-britches.”

The room erupted into violence after that. From where she cowered, Josetta didn’t see who moved first, or most of what followed. Except Mestre Verzano yelping and scuttling for cover behind a shelf. That she saw clear as day.

The fight didn’t last long; even outnumbered the elf and her compatriots ripped through the Doemenels. (It helped, Josetta was sure, that one of their number was a wizard.) After it was done, the elf wiped down and sheathed her sabres, raking hair out of her face with one hand as she gestured at the bodies  with the other. “Make sure they’re actually fuckin’ dead an’ check on the warehouse staff while I settle things.” She turned toward the trembling Mestre Verzano as her friends carried out her instructions.

Josetta scurried back from the door, uncertain why the possibility of being caught there made her feel guilty. Maybe it was just her sisterly instincts chiding her for not staying with Bennet. Maybe she was just used to organizations that didn’t want witnesses. Whatever it was, she’d made it all the way back to her unconscious friend before a blonde-furred orlan popped her head in, teal braids swinging with the motion, and spotted them.

“Hey, you alright?” the orlan asked as she stepped into the room. 

Josetta tried not to stare at the blood spattering her armor as she nodded.

“How ‘bout your friend?” the orlan pressed, raising an eyebrow toward Bennet.  “What happened to him?”

“Knocked on the head,” Josetta said, voice only shaking a little as one hand fumbled to grasp her necklace for comfort.

“Ah. Well, I think I can help with that.” The orlan stepped closer. “I’m Keya, I helped the Watcher protect Verzano just now. I’m not gonna hurt you.”

“I’m not afraid,” Josetta said, hating that the tremble picked that moment to get worse. “I’ve never... I just...”

“First time watching people die?” Keya said sympathetically.

Josetta just nodded, hand wrapped tight around her necklace. It was technically true.

Keya knelt next to Bennet and pulled off her gloves to start feeling for a bump.  “That’s always hard. Hopefully, since you don’t seem intent on becomin’ a hardened warrior, it’ll also be the last.”

Josetta nodded again. She didn’t trust her voice, which Keya seemed to understand.

“Here we are. Niiice goose egg, but he’ll be fine,” Keya promised. One hand lingered on the bump behind Bennet’s right ear. “Shouldn’t be any lasting damage.”

“Thank you,” Josetta mumbled. She didn’t have many friends here, and the thought of losing one was... unappealing, to put it mildly. She spotted his spectacles and reached over to pick them up, wincing at the crack across one lens.

“Here.” Keya pulled a small bottle out of a belt pouch, full of a deep blue liquid.  “Have him drink this when he wakes up, it’ll help. Especially if he’s out much longer.” With that, she pushed to her feet, pulled on her gloves, and headed back out to join her companions. Josetta heard muffled conversation for a few moments, then they left.

A couple heartbeats later, Liena leaned around the doorway. Though she was making an attempt to seem collected, Josetta could see in her eyes how rattled the other woman was. She paled, ever so slightly, when she saw Bennet. “I’m sure it comes as no surprise, but Mestre Verzano has decided to close early for the day. You are free to leave whenever you wish.”

Josetta glanced at Bennet, rested one hand protectively on his chest. “I’ll stay until he wakes.”

Liena shrugged and deposited her keys on Josetta’s desk. “Lock up when you go, and I will expect them back tomorrow. Corés.” She was gone before Josetta could echo her farewell.

Josetta could still hear people moving around in the main room; probably workers hauling off the dead. She was perfectly content to stay exactly where she was--though she did shift enough to rest Bennet’s head on her leg rather than the floor.

Eventually the sounds of clean-up faded and the others workers tramped out. Bennet finally stirred just as the last echoes of footsteps faded.

“Took you long enough,” Josetta tried to joke as he blinked hazily up at her, her fingers pausing in their repeated tracing of his spectacle frames..

“...Jos?” Bennet frowned, tried to sit up, but didn’t get very far. He relaxed back and pressed the heels of his hands over his eyes. “....owwwwww”

“Oh, here.” She helped him sit up--her leg was falling asleep, she needed him off of it--and handed him the potion Keya had given her. “Drink.”

Bennet frowned at it, as if trying to focus. “And this is...?”

She really didn’t like how groggy he sounded. “It’ll help your headache, do you really care?”

He snorted softly and popped the cork. “No.” After he’d downed it, he blinked again and looked around on the floor.

“Oh, here.” Josetta handed him his spectacles. 

Bennet scowled at the cracked lens, and for a minute, she thought she might actually hear him curse. But he just sighed and slid them on, eyes almost crossing at the effect of the crack. “Thank you.”

It took a few minutes for the potion’s effects to kick in, but at that point, he was able to get to his feet. First leaning heavily on his desk, then trusting his own balance. Josetta insisted on walking him home. 

“In case you have a dizzy spell, or lose your balance, or something, ac? You don’t need anymore hits to the head today, aimico,” she said as she locked the door behind them.

Bennet rolled his eyes but didn’t fight her. “I didn’t even need one.” He fell in step beside her.

Josetta laughed.”True.” She tugged his arm so they skirted a pothole. “If your head still aches come morning, stay home. I didn’t see how hard he hit you, but you were out quite a while. Injuries like that can be serious, from what I understand. You need rest.”

“And possibly a new job,” Bennet said dryly. “Excitement like this is liable to drive Mestre Verzano clean out of the Dyrwood.”

“Liena’s been angling to take over for months,” Josetta pointed out. “If he does leave, she’ll just step in.”

He made an ambivalent noise that was neither concession nor disagreement and they walked in silence after that until they reached Bennet’s house. Josetta fussed over him a little more--he’d tripped  couple times as they drew closer--before taking her leave. She needed a nap herself after the day’s excitement. And that’s what she did, barely even taking time to kick off her boots before she dropped into bed.

If Bennet was right, her future might be likewise uncertain. Even if Liena did take over after this mess, there was no guarantee she could salvage the floundering outpost, or that she’d want to keep the current staff if she did. But uncertainty, like many things, was better faced when well rested, so Josetta pushed it away for now as she drifted off to sleep.

---

Apparently I need to flesh out Bennet now, since he just went from a name I stuck in as one of Josetta’s friends to an actual character. Oops. My love of male/female friendships strikes again. Seriously, this was pretty much ready to go on Thursday, but then I started debating with myself whether I should give him glasses. I delayed posting for a whole day. To decide if he should wear glasses. Clearly, he’d gonna wind up more developed. xD 

[communionnimrod]

So like a lot of fun plot ideas, this came about through convos w @gooberfeesh.  This particular one came to us as we were laughing over how crazy fast Hermann types, mix with how skilled a programmer he is how OKAY YEAH he probably did some hacking in his day lets be real.

This also feels appropriate to finish and post with SDCC coming up, lmao (yay con exclusives).  Please enjoy Newt begging Hermann to hack a website for him!   <3 

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

Convention exclusives sucked.  Newt hated them.  Or, well, he wanted to hate them, but damnit, he LOVED them.  He was not ashamed to admit that when he lived over in America he had done some ridiculous things and spent a stupid amount of money to get some sort of con-exclusive toy or comic.  He was a collector, he lived for this kind of shit.  

Obtaining exclusive stuff was more difficult when you were on a completely different continent than the convention, though.  Even more so when you didn’t have the ability to hop on a plane and fuck off for a few days to go get it.  Newt didn’t think the PPDC would appreciate him disappearing from the Shatterdome and temporarily abandoning his work for (what they would dismissively consider) a toy.

Even IF said “toy” was a limited edition Trespasser and Knifehead statue bundle, intricately sculpted, both of them standing at 17 inches tall and basically perfect.  Newt might have drooled on his keyboard when he saw their prototype reveal.

He definitely cried a little when he saw the news that an insanely limited amount of them were going to be released to buy online.

The only problem was that it really was an insanely limited amount - a whopping 200 would be available for online purchase.  Newt knew from experience how stressful and unpredictable this kind of thing was.  They were likely to go quick, super quick, with high chances of the website crashing or checkout carts freezing.  If Newt wasn’t able to get one bought, he’d be devastated.  He had to hatch a plan, use his big and awesome brain to figure out a way to guarantee he wouldn’t lose this challenge.  They were bound to be options.

The morning they were to become available, Newt was up unnecessarily early.  It was a lot like how he used to be on Christmas Day - bouncing into the living room at 5am while his father was still sound asleep and his uncle wouldn’t be over for hours still.  He was too excited to keep sleeping.  Too nervous.  But!  He tried keeping his nerves at bay the best he could, because he had a PLAN.

An hour before the website was supposed to update, Newt eyed his lab partner carefully, watching him clack away at his computer.  Then, grinning, he wheeled his chair across the lab, sitting backwards in it with his arms draped across the back, only stopping when he slid and bumped into Hermann’s chair.  The man sighed.

“Can I help you, Newton?” he asked, glancing over at Newt, peering at him over the rim of his old man glasses.  Newt loved when he did this, loved the way it showed off his gorgeous, long eyelashes. Buuuuut he needed to focus.  He could dwell on his practically out of control, inappropriate secret crush on the other man later.

“Yes, actually, you sure can,” he grinned, leaning forward and resting his chin on the back of his chair.  “My awesome lab partner, intellectual colleague, all around good guy.”

Hermann regarded him, his dark eyes slowly slanting with each new compliment that came spilling out of Newt’s mouth.  It was a suspicious gaze, one Newt was no stranger to, but he kept grinning anyway.

“What do you want?” Hermann asked, his voice flat.

“Amazing that you should ask, dear Herms!” Newt exclaimed dramatically.  He could hear Hermann growl and open his mouth, no doubt to protest the nickname he despised so much, but Newt didn’t give him the breathing room to start that old argument.  “I was gonna see if you could do me the coolest, most awesome favor in the world and put your out-of-this-world hacker skills to the test for me.”

Hermann stared at him.  Newt leaned forward and rested his chin on his arm, waiting.  Hermann continued to stare.  Newt started bouncing his leg.

“I am not going to hack anything for you,” Hermann finally said.  

“Come oooooon,” Newt groaned.  “Please??”

“Whatever prank you want to pull, I’ll have no part of it.  Absolutely not.”  Hermann turned back towards his monitor.

“Oh!  No, dude, no prank!” Newt started to explain, straightening and nudging the other man’s chair until he looked over again.  “I don’t want you to hack someone.  I just … maybe want you to slightly hack into a website for me so I can buy something before it officially releases?”

Hermann’s eyebrows lifted in disbelief.  Disbelief turned to annoyance, which turned to exasperation, before going flat again.  It was quite the facial journey, really.  One that Newt would totally have appreciated if they weren't on a time crunch.  His leg kept bouncing.

“Absolutely not.”

“Hermaaaaaaaaann-”

“What in the world is so crucial that you would have me do something like this??”

“UGH here, I’ll show you.

Pushing closer and turning in his chair, Newt commandeered Hermann’s computer, ignoring the protest from his lab partner and the way he pushed at his shoulder, trying to get him out of his personal space.  Intent on convincing Hermann to help him, Newt pulled up a web browser and went to the site in question, navigating through until he found the page for the bundle.  Then, beaming, he turned back towards Hermann.

“That.”

“.... kaiju toys,” Hermann mumbled, staring.  “Of course it’s kaiju toys.  Dear lord.”

“Kaiju statues, and yes,” Newt corrected.  “Look at them!  The attention to detail is incredible, it’s the closest a company has ever gotten to accurately replicating their bone structure and skin tone.  And there’s only gonna be, like, 200 of them available.  It’s super limited.  And I super need it.  It’s not like I’m trying to steal one, dude, I’m gonna pay for it, I just … want to be able to pay for it before the plebeians and resellers of the world also have the ability to buy it.”

There was silence for a few moments.  Newt glanced at the clock on Hermann’s computer nervously.  He bounced his leg some more.  Hermann took off his glasses to pinch the bridge of his nose and sighed, before putting them back on.

“I cannot believe you’re asking me to do something like this for you,” Hermann grumbled, shaking his head as he took his keyboard back into his possession.  He started typing, eyes on the screen, and Newt slowly started to grin, the previous anxiousness fading from his expression.  “Thinking that I should take my valuable time away from my breach prediction model to use PPDC-issued computer equipment, on a PPDC server - provided and funded by the United Nations - to illegally hack into a toy selling website so that you can purchase kaiju toys.”

Newt watched in amazement as Hermann worked, his slender fingers flying across the keyboards so fast it was almost inhuman.  How the man didn’t make a million typos, he would never understand.  He couldn’t keep the awe off his face, and for a moment he wondered how lovestruck he looked.  Thankfully Hermann was WAY preoccupied and Newt had time to compose himself.  That was a topic that didn’t need to see the light of day.

“I could have my credentials revoked,” Hermann continued, still huffing over the whole ordeal.  “Were I to get caught.”

“Yeah but you never get caught,” Newt sighed dreamily, watching the website coding on the screen, the back door that Hermann was slipping them in through to open up the cart just moments before the item went live.

“Indeed, which is lucky for us both I suppose,” Hermann replied, snorting.  Then, after a moment, he pushed his chair back, sliding away from his desk slightly.  “Here.  Make your purchase quickly, so I can close this.”

Newt was beaming as he slid in, plugging in the proper information and buying the combo.  Done and done.  It went through without a hitch, and moments later his phone was chiming with his email confirmation.  Oh my god, he’d gotten it.  He was gonna get those beautiful babies.  Unable to contain himself, he let out a whoop of joy as he moved back, letting Hermann come back in to close everything off and remove all trace that they were there.  Newt didn’t miss the soft, amused smile the man had on his face.  It made his heart skip.

Once he was done, Hermann removed his glasses again and turned to face Newt, arching an eyebrow.

“I believe this earns a week without you making some sarcastic remark about my wardrobe,” he said expectantly.

“Sure, no prob,” Newt agreed without even thinking about it.  Rolling in, he snatched Hermann’s hands, lifting them and blowing on the tips of his fingers.

“What are you-” Hermann practically screeched, moving to yank his hands back, his cheeks going slightly pink.

“Fastest guns in the Ol’ West,” Newt smirked.

“... Excuse me?” Hermann asked, his face still flush, clearly missing the reference.  Newt was too happy to care.

“Nothing, man,” he said, standing up and clapping a hand on Hermann’s shoulder.  “Thank you Hermann, seriously.  I owe you one.  Like, more than clothing comments.  I’ll buy you dinner the next free night we have, ‘kay?”

“Um … a-alright,” Hermann agreed softly, nodding.

“So, back to work!” Newt exclaimed, clapping and turning to walk off towards his side of the room.  He didn’t miss the way Hermann huffed again behind him.

“You could at least take your damn chair back with you…”

Oh, Balls!

aN OILY ESCORT MISSION

So, we are back to escorting Testikles to the Olympics, and he is wherever the fuck he is on some Hades forsaken island in an uncovered part of the map. Like, yo, game—I don’t want to uncover another part of the map yet along with all its fetch quests and forts to defeat or whatever, because you know I will be compelled to do so. I guess I must though. I will try to power through without getting too distracted.

First I have to get some oil though.

Only the Oil maker’s slave lady is there though, and she is frightened that his wrath will come down on her if she dares help me by—giving me oil that I am going to pay for? Does this dude want business or not?? This guy already sucks, if I ever meet him… I convince her to just sell me the recipe and I make it myself—hopefully the right way. Which seems way worse for business than just selling me the oil. Oh, well. I succeed in remembering the recipe, and now I have to find Testikles on his island. I once again misread the map and also just guess at where he’s supposed to be instead of going directly to the clearly labeled point on the map. *shrug*

SNAKE SHIP!!

Ssssssssssssssssssssss!

This time it pays off though, because I find a sunken temple and it’s one of the locations of the treasure feathers! I’m sure stumbling ass backwards into them is how I’m going to solve this quest. It is the best way, I think. I also find some gold colours for my boat! The look I find is called the Hound of Hades. I like a Cerberus themed boat! Since I’m heading for the bay of Hades anyway, I think it’s fitting. 

I’ll miss my pink and white boat though!

Before I talk to Testikles, I take the time to explore the nearby shipwreck of the Nestor. I find a new figurehead for my ship. It’s a serpent one, and although I already have a blue one and this is just a normal, I switch them out, because snakes are my jam.

TESTIKLES

The Man, The Legend–

So, there is also some treasure chest that is either underwater or underground, but I don’t see a cave entrance? I try to find it, but I can’t, so I just go talk to Testikles, who is flexing and carrying on about being the best. He may or may not be super drunk or super dumb or both. Who can say?

I have to convince him to get on the boat by giving him the oil now, or bribing him with it. I still feel kind of bad for leaving those Spartan kids to spar with wolves on their own a while back, so maybe I’ll just give it to him and not become an extortionist. 

Great, he wants me to rub it on. What did I tell you about oil? We’re off on our escort mission now though, because I don’t get a choice in whether or not to oil down the big guy. Alexios is not gonna do it! 

SHARK BAIT

Ahoy, Ace, why are you here?

Back on the boat, Barny is fanboying over Testikles and Herodotus recites poetry at him. We arrive at our destination with the man of the hour whooping about Sparta, which is about the extent of this guy’s discourse, and for some reason I have to talk to Alkibiades who is here too. I’m going to guess he wants me to somehow throw the games in Athen’s favour in direct contradiction to what I should be doing to prove my Spartanness? 

Let’s find out! He’s enthusiastically jumping up and down and clapping at me.

If your wondering why he is here, it is to welcome us, actually compete in the Olympics, and flirt shamelessly, of course. Testikles burps in his direction. Herodotus and Barnabus share a confused look. 

There’s some good natured ribbing and more sex puns made even more inappropriate by the peanut gallery watching behind me. Huh. Nobody’s asking me to do anything I don’t want to do yet— I’m feeling good about this cut scene for a few seconds until I duck out of Testikles’s grasp as he wants me to oil him up again and he falls off the dock and gets eaten by a shark.

I just—I die laughing at this point, because that’s the most absurd thing that has happened in this game so far. Will I have to step in for Sparta now? Alikbiades  is definitely interested in seeing Alexios compete anyway. Wink, wink, nudge, nudge, say no more. He gives me the nickname “Lexie”, so how can I say no? I probably can’t. *shrug* 

QUEST TIME!

We get the day off to explore around Olympia though, so that’s cool, let’s do that. I very nearly knock Barnabus off the shark pier on my way out the door to the nearest location. Sorry, my man! 

I spend most of my time trying to defeat this huge ass fort and failing. I only get lucky because some bounty hunters show up and they start fighting the guys in the fort, so I can finally get it done. I’m a bit irritated that it took so long, so I just get back on my sudden quest for Olympic gold. I have to go find the organizer for this, I suppose to inform him that our contestant got eaten by a shark. *shrug* It happens?

I wander around Elis for a while, wreaking havoc on the Athenian forces. When I finally get to the actual Olympic Valley, I’m notified that I shouldn’t get caught doing anything illegal there. Great. We all know how good I am at sneaking and not doing illegal things. There are a bunch of new quests here that I can do before we get back to the story too, so let’s see who wants me to commit crimes so they don’t have to!

JUMPIN’ JAVELINS

First a sad bookie. 

He’s sad because some dude named Pithekos is not on his game and it’ll cost him a lot of money if this guy loses (I hope he’s not in my event?) In any case I can offer to maim his opponent or cheer his spirits. Obviously, I’m not going to maim a guy undeservedly. The bookie isn’t keen on my plan to recite poetry at the guy. Since Pithekos is not the kind of man for poems, I just go talk to him.

Okay, he’s broken his “lucky” javelin. I attempt to give him the benefit of the doubt, but he just straight up admits to cheating. Like, I know I’m not suited up to the nines in the gear of my homelands, but that’s probably not the info you should just be imparting to rando-could-be-your-opponent-Spartans. Of course, I guess I’ll get him his javelin. Hopefully I won’t end up in jail.

I can steal it, which is probably the wrong choice, so I just talk to the vendor lady and buy one. There is also an old one in a corner. I bring both and I don’t get a choice on which to give him, so I guess I chose right by bringing both. The bookie offers to let me place a bet, but I decline to bet on the cheater. 

SEEING THE SIGHTS

My next exclamation points leads me right to Barnabus who is being a total tourist. Lol, what is this quest, just sightseeing with Barny? I mean—Okay, I’ll take the easy XPs Why do you keep trying to make me learn stuff, game?

Zeus Beef in the wings

First: Altar of Zeus where we see them slaughtering a bunch of bulls for him. I buy Barnabus a slice of Zeus beef. He is delighted! Then we’re off to the next sight. The organizer for the event I’m supposed to be competing in must be around here because I keep being alerted to an untracked quest nearby, but I’m going to finish what I’m doing first.

Over in the temple Barnabus tells me the statue of Zeus was crafted by a sculptor I’m supposedly friends with, but I don’t know the name. Is he the dude I saved way back when I first came to Athens? Alexios says something sarcastic about the Gods that gets Barnabus’s dander up. I choose apologies. I don’t need to rain on his parade when he’s being such a fanboy and having a great day.

DISTRACTIONS

On the way to our next destination, I pick up another quest: Herodotus is trying to keep the peace, because I assume a Spartan and an Athenian are fixin to throw punches and break this Olympic truce. (One is wearing red, and one is wearing blue, so I can only assume. I remain, ever and always in neutral snake-tones) I agree to help them.

some dude

Back to Barny…or not. I stop again for a quest. A guy wants to tell my fortune, but it’s all a ruse to steal my money. He distracts me while a little girl steals my purse! She reminds Alexios of Phoibe and now everybody is sad. I’m even more sad when she tells me her story…some Captain made her thieve and is going to hurt her apparently. Obviously, I am going to help the girl that reminds me of Phoibe. The Captain is going dowwwn!

He goes down! I return to the kid to give her the necklace Captain stole and she’s happy that they can keep all they steal now. Heh. Go get ‘em, girl!

I finally catch up to Barnabus where he gives me the low-down on this special tree that the Olympic wreaths are made out of. We hug it out and I get my XPs! Thanks, Barny! 

On to the next mini-quest!

A TALE OF OILY DUDES

Out on the street a poor woman is being browbeat in public by a priestess. Her crime: Being married and wanting to watch the games. 

She is Kallipateria who wants to see her son compete. This is nonsense. Why is it a crime, I ask?

The priestess tells me its because all the oily men will be too tempting.

Uhh— Well, my only choice now is to say that’s not fair, which it’s not, so I’m not fussed about that pathway.

Turns out the punishment they want to dole out for attempting to watch the games is to throw her off Mount Olympus. The fuck???? That’s the punishment??? Priestess Lady, you’re going the way of Chrysis if you keep it up. She gives me the chance to prove Kallipateria’s heritage and save her, so I’m off to go look for her son in the green room as it were. 

There’s a old lady there projecting her own thoughts onto every other woman in Greece. She’s clutching her pearls over all the hot oiled dudes. Yes, of course, because there is no other reason for women to enjoy sport, but also, who cares if she wants to scope some dudes? The only useful clue is that Kalli met with a man here often. Like…is the man her son??  The next person I talk to is her son. He confirms her story.

However, I also find a love letter seemingly addressed to her. 

The plot thickens. 

Regardless, nobody needs to be thrown off a mountain. Unless it’s me, throwing myself. I’m immune to fall damage after all. 

Next a rando dude confirms her story and also—that her husband is dead???? What? Widowers got to stay married from beyond the grave here? I guess so. Kalli is still devoted and makes offers to the Gods for him. I find yet another letter confirming the story of Kalli’s son and their heritage. Time to stop this priestess and her hateboner for people who enjoy a nice oily dude. I guess what I find is enough for her to let Kalli go. Good. Damn her for making me schlep all the way the hell up this mountain though. I’m going to jump off it! 

LOVE GONE WRONG

Alright, time to help out those fighty dudes from earlier. This quest is called the Drachmae of Romance, so let us see what this is all about. I find a note. Looks like a couple of lovebirds stole money from the fighting dudes to escape—something. Slavery? Crushing debt? 

Next I find a really suspicious guard who is terrible at lying. He fell asleep on the job, but he does know the thieves headed east apparently.

Third clue—no forced entry to the treasure vault the guard was supposed to be guarding. Hmm.

Well, the game tells me exactly where to go, so at least I don’t have to wander Eastward with nothing but hope and a bird to go on. 

It turns out this a Romeo and Juliet situation and the couple that stole the money are the son and daughter of the dudes that hired me. Those two dads also got the info from the guard and find us here. There is no conflict resolution for them. In fact, they are ready to kill their children over this feud. I got news for ya, dudes. You picked the wrong mysthios. I can either kill the poor kids or these two toolbags. 

The good news is that the kids can forge a new peaceful future for their families now. A job well done as far as I’m concerned!

SCULPTING SUSPICIONS

My next and looks like last quest is to visit my sculptor friend. He is indeed the man who I saved from cultists. He does think cultists are still after him and for some reason did him the courtesy of leaving a coded message before they do away with him that I now have to traipse around all of Greece to figure out for him. I’m not going to do that right now because these statues with secret code are all over places that haven’t been uncovered yet. Sorry, Sculpto, you must wait!

Paranoid Sculptor Friend

 I think it is time for some wrasslin’ or whatever the hell I’m competing in (The Pankration) because I am fresh out of exclamation points! I arrive at the organizer and he’s surprised to see me instead of Testikles. He lets me go ahead and replace the poor guy rather than cancel the whole event. Since I have nothing left to do, we’ll get right to it. I beat up a couple of dudes and now we get a pause before the big match against the Athenian champ.  It is a break where we meet up with Barny and Alkibiades only to find Alkibiades has probably been poisoned. Damn! You can’t die yet, Ace! It’s not in the history books! (I know, I know, tell it to Perikles, right?) I am off to find the supposed poisoner!

PICK YOUR POISON

Somehow, Alkibiades of all the people, is super scandalized about how his upstanding good-time drinkin’ buddies could be shady double-dealing murderers. Sorry, my dude! Suddenly, my pause screen jumps out at me without prompting to give me some news. Kallias, Olympic hero, is now marked on my cult family tree. Does that have anything to do with this quest? Is HE the poisoner?

Let us investigate!

 Clue #1: I visit the site of the party and, Yep. Poison. Lots of the party-goers are dead now.

 Clue#2: More poison supplies in the kitchen. I find the name of the merchant who delivered them.

Clue#3: There is a bigger bad. Who is it? The merchant doesn’t know, but at least he gives me a place where I can find the antidote: That accursed fort from earlier? Nope, a new accursed fort. Probably at the only undiscovered location left in the Olympic Valley. Let’s Ride, Phobos! No time to lose! I am in and out without the guards catching me, and Alkibiades is up and at ’em as soon as the cure touches his lips.

A WIN FOR SPARTA

Now it’s time to finish wining the day for Sparta and defeating a cultist. Like—we know it’s him what ordered the poison, right? It has to be?

Back to the organizer, who laughs at me for not being oily enough. Heh. I’ve got some delightful cinnamon oil that I made myself, dude. I take this guys advice and use it. Why not? Testikles doesn’t need it. I have a tense moment with Kallias the cultist before things start, and I defeat the champion handily. Alexios looks extra shiny during the crowning, but whatevs. We won! 

Oily, Oily, Glory

Next on the list: Cult dude, who I find just wandering outside the hippodrome alone. I sneak up on him and that’s the easiest cultist defeat ever.

Olympia is complete! I guess. I don’t even get to say goodbye to Ace this time, or find out for sure who the poisoner is. Bah.

Oh, well. I’m heading of to Boeotia now, because A: I have a king quest there and B: I have some mysterious Sphynx quest that I don’t even remember picking up, and we all know how I feel about Sphynx quests! (I love them. Hit me with your riddles, cat woman!)

[find-your-rp-partner]

PLEASE PLAY MERFOLK WITH ME :) >>>><

SETTING:

The world is mostly sea. Humans live on island chains far apart in the northern and southern hemispheres of the planet, and share their world with the people of the ocean. How they relate to each other largely depends on which area they’re in.

B.U (Before Unity) Setting - NORTH - In the cold north, the islands tend to be small, and most food comes from the sea. This, combined with the harsh weather, makes for tough, pragmatic humans, who tend to class anything moving out of the ocean as ‘fish’ and therefore edible, regardless of sentience.

The merfolk do not appreciate this, and tend to try and return the favour, although since they generally don’t like the taste of land-mammal unless there is little else to eat, they usually just drown them and leave them for the scavengers. In overfished areas, merfolk can resort to cannibalism and maneating, with the latter much more preferable than the former.

Coldwater merfolk use stone weapons and tools, and are literate in their own language – usually carving on stone or soft tablets made by mixing fish oil and sand. Few ever bother to try and learn any human language – they’re too busy ripping nets or overturning boats to get to crying merpups.

Northern mer give birth to one or two young each, and the whole pod will care for them for years until full adulthood, providing food and teaching life skills like hunting, weapon and tool construction and use.

They tend to be largely cetacean or shark-like in design, and their skin always matches from tail to nose. At their most showy they have barbed fins and glittering silver scales. They often wear belts with pouches and scabbards, and they can change genders depending on the population demand.

There are a couple of islands where the merfolk and the humans work together, but it’s a grim, wary allegiance. Any human that falls overboard and any mer that gets caught in the nets will still be killed if they can’t save themselves fast enough.

There are soft-hearted humans up here, of course, mostly scientists and conservationists. But captured northern mer in tanks, especially adults, tend to try and kill themselves or escape rather than stay in captivity, even when badly injured. Few humans from this end of the world know enough northern mermish to explain themselves.

Some northern mer have magic, mostly restricted to vague precognition and charms to call prey, but it’s largely up to the shamans of any given pod (usually a group of between six and twenty individuals, adults, adolescents, and young) to do the more impressive stuff. It’s usually their fault when sailors jump ship to drown themselves or a room full of marine zoologists, having captured one, go crazy and murder each other.

They tend to attribute their talents to their 'father’, Leviathan. No one knows if he actually exists or once did some time ago before the humans, but the merfolk say that he sleeps at the bottom of the ocean, guarded by the strangest and most monstrous of their kin, the deep-downers, the anglerfish and the gulper eels and the goblin shark-type mer.

The men of the north treat the mer of the north as terrifying creatures no more knowable than a hurricane or a tidal wave, but the merfolk of the bays and the relatively shallow coastal waters say much the same about deep-downers. They’re considered much the same as demons and bad spirits in human culture, alien and vicious, always hungry and a very good reason not to go into open water at night. Some of them follow their prey up in the darkness, and anything at all is food.

Mer that will fearlessly kill or drown humans without care for bullet or harpoon are stark-terrified of deep-downers, almost superstitiously so.

SOUTH – In the south, where both the water and the weather is warm and some of the islands are large enough to easily support crops and livestock, the relationship between the children of the land and the sea is very different. The behaviour of the seadwellers themselves is very different, as is their appearance.

For as long as anyone can remember in these regions, islander humans and merfolk of the reef and tropical shallows are usually friendly to each other. On some islands, it’s considered very lucky to have a lifelong friendship between a human and a mer, so often about once a year at the first spring tide, newly weaned merpups and human toddlers will be gently introduced by their parents in the shallows of the beach.

Nearly everyone is bilingual, and while southern mer have lost much of the need for their own writings, a lot of them can read land-basic due to having been taught by their humans.

It’s useful to have a friend who’ll save you if a storm washes you up high and dry on the land, or will keep you from drowning if a riptide carries you away. Human medicine is also more advanced than mermish, and it’s much easier to keep a southern mer in a tank if he knows you can get him well again.

Merfolk and humans often trade with each other – some types of southern mer have gained a taste for land-meat, so will happily swap a few legs of lamb for a string of still-struggling reef fish, and humans usually come to them if they need pearls or coral or large shells for jewellery.

As a result, southern mer actually have better weapons and knowledge of human intelligence and behaviour, although much less motivation to use it against them. Occasionally a heartbroken mer might drown their human friend for having chosen the land too much over the sea, but this is treated as a tragedy for both parties, and a symptom of insanity.

Such incidents don’t really happen more than once a generation, and are usually told as cautionary tales by the parents of both species. Merfolk have the same legal rights as men, and crimes against/by them are treated the same way as with humans.

Mer/human sexual relationships are not taboo, but since these mer can’t shapeshift except in extraordinary circumstances and are as unsuited for long periods on the land as whales and dolphins, as well as the fact that they’re simply not genetically compatible enough for hybridization, serious partnerships are not recommended. Usually it begins and ends with teenage experimentation, and anything more than that is highly unusual.

Jealousy of your best friend’s new mate/girlfriend/boyfriend is not uncommon, but acting on it without good reason is VERY frowned upon.

In appearance, southern mer are much more brightly coloured and more piscine than their northern or open-ocean kin, and tend to follow similar shapes and patterns to the reef fish and other species common to the areas they live in. Sirenia (dugong and manatee) and seahorse mer can be found on seagrass plains and near coastal mangrove forests, while cetacean mer, usually limited to dolphin and porpoise types in warm waters, can be found in slightly deeper water.

They’re more careless and happy-go-lucky on the whole, too. While northern mer stick close together in pods, the only time you’re likely to see more than one southerner, outside festival season, is if they’re a small family group – a mother and young, or a mated pair. Southerners don’t mate for life, although they can stay together for several years at a time.

Pups are usually born in twos or threes, and cared for by the mother or both parents, depending on the father’s personal temperament. A pregnant female mer or a particularly hungry adult or preadult of either gender may hunt and eat pups that aren’t theirs, not to mention the usual predators like sharks and toothed whales, so any lost children are advised to stay in the shallowest water they can and wait for an adult they recognise, whether they’re merfolk or human.

There is evidence that southern mer were once much more advanced even than their northern relatives – ruined cities and towers underwater, filled with carvings and frescos, old weapons handed down through matrilineal lines that are far more advanced than their age belies.

But whatever happened, southerners lost that, and only humans who study ancient merscript have any interest in the distant past. The brightly coloured denizens of the shallow water are very much people of the present; a common mermish saying translates as 'If you keep looking at the past, you’ll hurt yourself backing into the future’ – aka, it doesn’t do to dwell on things that happened long ago.

Most southern coastal mer are just as scared of open-ocean mer as they are of deep-downers, but since the latter are much more rarely seen than in the north (aka, about once a century) and southerners don’t write things down, they’re considered wraiths, bad dreams and boogeymen of fiction to scare pups with.

P.U (Post-Unity) Setting:

Set several decades at least after the above setting, during which a group of southern humans travelled north and worked with the scientists and conservationists there to bring a mutual end to the conflict between merfolk and men. It’s not perfect, but now that the northerners have accepted imported food from the south, it’s illegal to hunt and kill any mer.

The adults of either species are not yet at the point where they’ve forgotten the sins and horrors of the past, but the younger generation are definitely embracing the change and generally eager to learn about each other and make friends.

Northern mer, particularly those already interested in writing and carving, tend to be fascinated by the ruins in the south, and while they can’t physically survive in water that warm, waterproofed photographs and transcriptions cross-referenced with existing shamanistic knowledge is already shedding light on the distant past.

Some northern humans, particularly younger ones, move south altogether and often suffer culture shock and guilt with how vastly differently merfolk and menfolk treat each other down there.

SO IF YOU'VE MADE IT THROUGH ALL THAT, WELCOME!

Hiya, my name's Mal and I'm a transgender dude living in the UK. (That's GMT time, folks.) I've been desperate for someone to look at and like this setting of mine as of late - it's an old one, I've had it going years, and I'm aching to find someone interested in thinking up some plots with me! Some classics I enjoy -

- Pre-Unity, a northern human and a northern mer are washed up and isolated on a tiny island and have to work together if they are to survive. (Favourite themes - language barriers, uncanny valley, alien POV, and foes to friends.)

- Post Unity, a northern teenage human and an adolescent mer start to make friends among all the mistrust and hatred left over from the decades of war and abuse.

- A southern inlander or a northern traveller come to a southern island in time for the Spring Festival (when young merpups are matched with human toddlers) and learn a lot about different cultures and lives.

- Or hell, just a beach bum and a southern mer making friends, that could be fun as well XDD

I know a lot of people are interested in the ruins and I am too, don't worry, but that one's a bit overplayed for me at the moment so I want to just let it lie. Oh, and to be clear about the non-human merfolk I like best, here are my notes for their natural history :3

If any of that remotely interested you, please drop me a line on:

My skype: lilacsofthedead (please tell me where and why you found my handle; I have issues with spambots and don't add automatically.)

Or my email: bastloki@gmail.com

I RP best via gdocs (ideal) or email, but I LOVE talking to people over IM. Please please please come and chat to me, even if you're not overly interested in actually RPing this setting and just want to hear more about it :D

Good Hunting!

              ♫

“Noct, you must go alone.”

“What?”

“If you can obtain the Crystal's power, we may yet be able to turn the tide. Elsewise, we are all like to perish here.”

“Iggy's right. It's our only chance.”

“But what about you?”

“We'll manage somehow! Just get moving!”

“You could still get to the Crystal... if you went on your own. Your friends will have to stay behind.”

Hangar gate closing. Please stay clear.

“You'd better think fast. I don't envy you your decision. Betraying your friends for the greater good - the mark of a monarch! Step forth, Your Majesty! If you wish to obtain the Crystal's power, you must be prepared to lose all else.”

“The hell are you waiting for? The gate’s closing!”

“… I …”

Gate closed.

“I’m not leaving you here to die!”

“Oh, Noct…”

“…I can’t lose you guys, too.”

                                                        Chapter 1

               ♫

“Thanks for the ride, buddy.” Prompto turned the handle to open the van’s door.

“No prob. I’ll pick you up on my way back. Stay safe.”

“You too. Oh!” He turned around his in seat and flashed his fellow hunter a sheepish smile. “Keep the headlights on.”

Noctis faintly smiled to himself. “Ignis told you to remind me?”

“Yup!”

“Alright. Will do. Send my regards to Kimya.”

“Sure thing!”

With a final parting smile, the freckled blond switched on his torch, checked his handgun and jumped off the vehicle.

“Forgetting something?”

Prompto stopped in his tracks, cast a questioning glance over his shoulder and yelped when Noctis threw an empty sackcloth in his face.

“Helps if you can actually carry the potions back here from Malmalam Thicket, don’t you think?”

“Woops! My bad!”

With a shake of his head, Noctis watched his friend’s shaft of light disappear into the oppressing darkness before he stepped on the gas and continued his own journey. His destination was Cape Caem. Aranea Highwind had sent him off to retrieve some old junk that Cid had left lying around. Apparently it was important enough to require him to “get it right now, on the double”. Ever since she had been unofficially appointed as the leader of the former Fort Vaulleroy, she had become even bossier than before. She just loved to put his former royal backside to work. Such a slave driver.

               ♫

The hallowed blue shafts cast from the van’s headlights guaranteed him safe passage without any daemon hindrances. He had personally led a scavenger hunt through the ruins of Insomnia to retrieve all the available enhanced headlight parts and blueprints. Cindy and Cid had secured a year’s worth of food provisions and weapon supplies by building brand new headlights and lamps and trading them with the people of Lestallum. There weren’t many safe settlements in Lucis anymore. Lestallum’s population had tripled when rumours spread of the new lamp technology that kept daemons at bay even within the previously daemon-infested power plant. Besides Lestallum and Hammerhead, the only truly safe settlements were the formerly abandoned Niflheim bases; Fort Vaulleroy in Cleigne, now known as Fort Highwind and Formouth Garrison in Leide which had been renamed Meldacio Stronghold.

Umbra poked his snout out from the backseat and let out a single cheery bark.

“Almost there, boy.”

Noctis pulled the van to a stop and parked it next to an old decayed sign. The sign used to have a cheerful painting depicting a lighthouse on a hill along with a large text welcoming the traveller to Cape Caem. Now illegible, the sign was bent from the middle as if something large had crashed into it. Noctis killed the engine, but kept the headlights on just as Ignis had advised.

So far Caem seemed to have only a few scattered daemons here and there, but one could never be too cautious – especially when he had to succumb to fighting like a regular person with nothing but his Engine Blade tied to his hip and Cerberus, his sniper rifle, on his back. It had been nearly a decade since Noctis lost his bloodline’s powers in Gralea. Both the Crystal and the Astrals had turned their back on him when he refused to leave his friends’ side for the sake of a trap masquerading as an uncertain victory. Darkness had engulfed the world and it was all because of him; he hadn’t been ready to sacrifice his friends for the greater good. He knew this and he carried the burden heavily on his shoulders. It had taken him many years to come to terms with his decision and its results. All he really could do now was plough forward, do what he could with the abilities he did have available and keep those he had been born to rule over safe.

With a weary sigh, Noctis switched on his torch and left the van’s hallowed lights. He trekked to the old house on top of the hill with Umbra by his side. Iris had begged him to retrieve her sewing kit while he was around. She claimed it was for sewing stitches on wounded hunters, but Noctis had a sneaking suspicion she planned on mending his torn prince’s fatigues. Even after all these years, Iris still nurtured a crush on him and spent every moment trying to please or impress him. He had tried to let her know that she didn’t need to put up a show for him and could just be her sweet self and act normal like she did with everyone else, but he was never good with words. He felt sorry for the younger Amicitia. His heart had always belonged to someone else and was no longer his to give away.

The house was in relatively good condition considering nobody had looked after it in its previous owners’ absence. It took him a little while, but he eventually located a faded pink cloth bag containing needles and thread. He put it in his rucksack. The denizens of Caem hadn’t had the time to take anything besides the absolutely necessary when the call to evacuate came. Noctis secretly found it impressive how Talcott had managed to pack his cactuar collection on such short notice.

Cid had left most of his stuff lying around in an unused storage room within the house. As Noctis rummaged through the several pieces of equipment, engine parts and what he could only describe as trash, he felt a chill wind blow from the open doorway.

“Should’ve put on more clothes”, he muttered to himself as a shiver ran down his spine. Umbra’s ears perked and his mouth opened to pant happily. Movement caught his eyes from his peripheral vision. Noctis’ stance grew tense and his hand went automatically to his blade’s hilt, but he forced himself to relax. Umbra wouldn’t act so friendly if they were in the presence of daemons. Slowly Noctis rose to his feet and turned around.

               ♫

His eyes widened and his breath hitched. He couldn’t believe his eyes.

In the doorway stood a girl who uncannily resembled his deceased bride in her younger years. She was barefooted and wore a familiar white summer dress. Her skin was ghostly pale, but she didn’t seem ethereal in any way. Her feet and the hem of her dress were dirty, her skin was decorated with cuts and bruises and her normally perfectly straight long blond hair seemed like it hadn’t been brushed for weeks. Her messy bangs shielded her downcast eyes.

Noctis was paralyzed as a million questions ran through his head. What was happening? Was he hallucinating? Was this truly Luna? But how? She died. He saw Ardyn gut her like a fish. Why was she twelve again? What was she doing here?

Umbra’s sharp bark broke him out of his stupor. He didn’t have time to so much as utter her name before the girl dashed away.

“Wait! Come back!” He stumbled after her. Panic contracted his chest. He couldn’t lose her again!

He chased her down the hill, past the van, all the way to the rocky shore.

“I won’t hurt you! Please, stop!” She kept running. She was surprisingly nimble; whenever he was gaining on her and within arm’s reach, she would suddenly gain an unexpected burst of speed and elude his arms.

“Luna!”

She slowed down and turned around. Panting, Noctis bent over to let his hands rest against his knees as he tried to catch his breath. The girl said nothing and merely waited patiently. Once he straightened up, she began to slowly make her way towards the sea. Noctis followed, but didn’t dare to come too close lest she run away again. She kept going until the sea level reached her thighs and the hem of her dress was soaked. All of this was so unreal. It had to be a dream! But he could clearly feel the icy cold water numbing his calves and feet and the chill wind blowing through his hunter’s uniform. He pinched his arm for good measure.

“Ow.”

He was definitely not dreaming. He could see the girl’s reflection from where his torchlight hit the surface. So not a ghost. Did ghosts have a reflection? His record of horror movies wasn’t exactly impressive. Maybe said movies weren’t the most reliable source for facts, either.

She watched him expectantly and beckoned him to come closer. Hesitantly Noctis came to stand next to her. He nearly lost his balance when his booted feet stepped on something tube-like. The girl knelt down and motioned to him to help her search for something. Noctis followed her example and felt around blindly. He was tempted to ‘accidentally’ touch her arm under the murky water’s cover. Not because he was being a creepy old dude groping little girls – his nose wrinkled in disgust at the mental image – but because he needed to make sure she was real and solid. He was playing around in icy sea water with his dead would-be-wife’s twin for Reaper’s sake! None of this made any sense. He reached towards the girl next to him, but his hands caught hold of whatever he had previously tripped over. As he pulled it above the surface, he realised it was attached to something heavy.

A decayed pale arm broke the surface. Gasping, Noctis let go of it and turned to stare at the little girl next to him with wide eyes. She stood up and watched him silently, her head slightly tilted in curiosity.

“The hell you brought me here for?”

She pointed down to where the corpse lay.

“Who are you and why do you look like Luna?!” He stumbled to his feet and tried to grab her by the shoulders, but she easily sidestepped. He lost his balance and crashed next to the corpse. He turned around and hastily sat up. The girl lifted the corpse’s hand above the surface and held it in front of him. It was a woman’s hand. His eyes settled on the ring adorning one of her slim fingers. He saw a small scar next to the ring. Was it truly…?

               ♫

He took hold of the hand and brought it closer to his face. Though the skin had lost all of its colour and was slimy from years of floating in sea water, and the hand was smaller than the one he remembered holding as a child, he could recognise that small scar anywhere. When Noctis had fretted about carrying a scar on his forehead from his near death experience for the rest of his life, Luna had shown him her hand and told him the story behind her scar.

“They are memories, Noctis. Past experiences that shape us into what we will eventually become.” She always sounded so wise to him, even as a child – especially as a child. “You will remember every story behind every scar for the rest of your life. Even when you are old and your memory is not what it used to be, you will still remember the scars.”

“Is that why Gentiana has a good memory? Does she hide a lot of scars under those robes?”

“Certainly”, she had easily agreed to his childish theory without batting an eye. She had been so ready to entertain his silly ideas in order to get him to ease up and feel comfortable.

               ♫

With a shuddering breath, Noctis stood up and lifted his bride’s corpse from the sea’s icy embrace. Her body was thin as if she had been starving during her last days, but at the same time she was surprisingly heavy from the excess salt water inside. His heart wrenched painfully in his chest when he saw the sorry state her body was in. Her only remaining eye stared emptily at nothing, while the other had been presumably gnawed by sea life. Her cheek had stretching holes through which he could spot the remains of what once were pearl-white teeth. Her small button nose and chapped lips with uptilted corners only confirmed her identity.

He couldn’t even start guessing how her corpse had remained in such a good condition for a decade. It had travelled miles, all the way here from Altissia. Seaweed was tangled between her darkened wet locks. What was left of her once pure white ceremonial Oracle’s dress was now unrecognisable; the bottom was torn all the way up to her thighs and dirtied from years of grime. The cloth underneath her right breast was darkened by blood from the old stab wound. The straps that once held the bodice snugly against her chest had snapped and left her small breasts exposed. Awkwardly Noctis averted his eyes and attempted to lift the useless scrap of cloth to cover her decency.

Splashing of water returned his focus to the forgotten girl beside him. She made her way back to the shore. Noctis followed and kept his eyes firmly glued to the younger counterpart. He didn’t want his memory of Luna to be tarnished by a decayed corpse. He wanted to remember her as young, carefree and healthy.

“I can’t bury her here. I guess I could bury her next to Jared, but… The least I can do is to offer her a proper grave with a coffin”, he mumbled to himself.

Wait a minute.

Luna was dead, her corpse in his arms was proof enough, but what about the girl in front of him? Was she Luna as well? Maybe he could ask her opinion on the matter. She was the one who had wanted him to retrieve her body, after all. Not that he had managed to get out as much as a peep out of her so far, but it didn’t hurt to try.

“Hey, Luna?”

The girl glanced at him over her shoulder. At the same time his hold slipped on the corpse and he had to balance her against his knee to fix his grip. Luna’s head lolled against his chest, her single blank eye staring up at him. With an uneasy shudder he dropped his gaze to the slightly gaping mouth where water trickled down from the corners of her lips. Something moved inside her mouth. A small sea critter poked its head out between her parted lips. Nausea churned his stomach and he hurried towards the shore to set the corpse down on the rocks. He emptied the contents of his stomach a few steps away and spat the foul taste from his mouth before wiping the remaining drops of vomit on his sleeve.

At least he now knew the girl responded to Luna’s name. He’d ask about the funeral arrangements when they were on the road and without a corpse stealing all his attention. Little Luna stood at a reasonable distance and watched his every move closely. Noctis knelt next to Dead Luna and gently pressed beneath her ribs. Water sputtered from her mouth, along with several unwanted inhabitants.

“Man, that’s disgusting.”

He carefully gathered Dead Luna in his arms and walked to the van. Little Luna quietly followed.

“Hope you don’t mind if I put you in the trunk. Don’t wanna scare Prompto to death. One corpse is enough for one day.” He retrieved a plastic bag and with some effort managed to slip Dead Luna inside. The bag wasn’t big enough to cover all of her, so he decided to leave her feet visible. They were more intact than the rest of her and less likely to traumatise any weak-hearted eyewitnesses.

Long untamed grass rustled when Umbra cantered towards the van. He had been patiently waiting by the house for Noctis’ return, but had sensed that something was off and come to investigate. Seeming to recognise his mistress somehow, he let out a mournful whine and pawed at the trunk. It couldn’t possibly be by smell. Noctis was sure ten years of drifting in the sea had washed her from all the familiar smells that Umbra associated with Luna. With all that had happened so far that day, he really should stop attempting to explain everything with logic. None of it made sense.

“Sorry, boy. Better you stick with this one.” He pointed at Little Luna. “Doesn’t talk much, but neither does the one inside.”

Curiously enough Umbra didn’t seem all that interested in the girl. Noctis returned to the house and searched for the components he had originally come to look for. He quietly chatted to Umbra and Little Luna to ease his nerves. He packed everything remotely useful looking he could fit in his rucksack and returned to the van. Umbra hopped to the backseat without so much as a request from Noctis. Little Luna made no move to enter the van.

“Aren’t you coming? Thought you wanted to make sure I wouldn’t disrespect you- her”, he corrected himself. Man, this was confusing.

Little Luna merely shook her head sadly and stared at her toes. What was that all about?

Noctis knelt in front of her and looked up to her glass-like blue eyes.

“Hey. I don’t want you to stay here all by yourself. Even if you’re not Luna, I still want you to come with me, okay? I live in a nice place – well, as nice as nice can be. There’s light, there’s people. Hell, we even have a radio that occasionally works. Entertainment is minimal, but sometimes we get a nice treat with a song or two played from old records. Lestallum still has one working radio station. I’m sure you’d like it there. It’s way better than here, anyway.” He was rambling, but he really wanted this girl to come with him. He couldn’t leave her here in good conscience, even if she was a ghost or just a figment of his imagination. “So what do you say?”

Little Luna lifted her left hand. He noticed the same small scar he had seen on Dead Luna. She offered her pinky to him. With a small chuckle, he lifted his right pinky and shook hers.

“I still remember that, y’know. Been over two decades, but I still cherish each and every moment I had with you.”

Little Luna’s blank face slowly melted into a familiar heart-warming smile. Gracefully she nodded and curtsied. Grinning, Noctis helped her into the van and to settle next to Umbra.

“Seat belt on. No police around, but if Ignis finds out I’m driving with unsecured kids on-board, he’s gonna make me eat beans for a week. Fate worse than de-“, he stopped himself and shook his head. “Way too soon. And not funny. I’ll shut up now.” He secured the seat belt on Little Luna and closed the door before hopping on the driver’s seat.

“I like it when you talk.”

Noctis wasn’t sure if he had truly heard her speak or if it was just his wistful mind playing tricks on him. He peered at her from the rear mirror. She was absently staring out of the window and leaning her chin against her small palm. Nothing suggested she had said anything.

With a faint smile, he started the engine and took his phone to dial Prompto.

“Hey. I’m done here. Get ready for pickup in half an hour.”

               ♫

Prompto didn’t even notice the silent girl in the backseat. Not a surprise considering she was sitting directly behind him. Still, Noctis couldn’t help wondering if he was the only one who could see Little Luna. The drive back to Fort Highwind was pleasant. Prompto kept chattering about the old witch in the woods and praising her potion brewing and cooking.

“Y’know, she’s the one who came up with those runes that protect the havens. That’s why she can be lonesome in the middle of nowhere and not worry about daemons ambushing her in her sleep. Wonder if we could ask her to create some runes for the bases. I mean, I like hallowed blue light as much as the next person, but it’d be kinda nice to have the classic yellow light.”

“Yeah, would be nice.”

“Sooo.” Prompto tapped his feet with restless energy. “What kept you for so long? I mean, I know Cid’s organised mess is a mess no matter what angle you look at it from, but it shouldn’t have taken that long.”

“I, uh, got side-tracked. Had to find Iris some of her old stuff and took a while finding them.” Noctis kept his eyes firmly on the road. He didn’t want his best friend to think he was losing his mind. If he or anyone else saw Little Luna, he would explain. If not, he would know he was finally cracking.

“Huh.”

Prompto subtly eyed his best friend from the corner of his eye. The former king’s unkempt appearance reflected the drastic change in his life. Gone was the lazy and relatively carefree youth who couldn’t get up at a decent time. In its place was a burdened man who was hardened by life and past mistakes. Sometimes, Prompto barely even recognised his friend anymore. Thankfully those moments were few and far between. Noct was still Noct underneath that scraggly beard and unkempt hair.

“So, how’s Iris?”

“She’s fine. You should know, you see her as often as I do”, Noctis replied evasively.

“I know, I know. I mean. She’s liked you for a long time. And it’s been a while. Shouldn’t you, y’know, maybe think about giving her a chance and settling down?”

“Like you do with Cindy?” the former king gave him a pointed glare before returning to watch the road.

“Hey, I’m still working on that! You know how she’s married to her work now. Poor girl barely gets a wink of sleep with how much she’s tinkering in the Hammerhead garage.”

“Yeah.”

Noctis saw Little Luna staring at him through the rear mirror. Her posture was tense and her small hands were gripping the edge of her seat. The conversation had alarmed her, it seemed.

“Afraid Iris will have to find someone better suited for her. I don’t-“, he sighed and rubbed his face with his free hand. “I can’t give her what she wants.” Little Luna’s gaze seemed to soften at that. Was she worried he would move on and forget about her? Fat chance. She had been his pillar since they were children and she had continued to support him from a distance, even when his mistakes cost her life.

“Noct, I know you can’t put the past behind you. I get it. But everybody deserves happiness and a second chance.” Prompto’s voice dropped to a quiet murmur. “Even you.”

“It’s not just about letting go of the past. I’m not the same man I used to be. Even if I could ignore all of this.” He vaguely gestured at the darkness around them. “I can’t just revert back to that kid she took fancy over Reaper knows for what reasons.”

“Yeah, hard to style up your hair without any gel. But you could shave the beard if you miss the good ol’ days.”

Noctis rolled his eyes, but couldn’t keep himself from snorting. He glanced at Little Luna. He wondered what her opinion was on his current look. Probably ‘too old’. Did she share Dead Luna’s opinions or was she forever stuck as a preteen? So many questions. Should he ever get the chance to ask a single question, he would have to spend an hour just choosing what to ask first.

               ♫

“You’re late. I’m not even going to ask why your pants have taken a swim.” Frankly, Noctis had already forgotten about his drenched clothes. Too much had happened in such a short time for him to remember something as mundane as cold and damp.

“Nice to see you too, Aranea.” Noctis hopped off the van. Prompto grinned and waved as he unbuckled his seatbelt.

Aranea had changed out of her usual battle gear in favour of wearing a regular Niflheimian officer’s uniform; a black coat with red trimming and a white front adorned with Niflheim’s pompous red coat of arms. Once upon a time said symbol inspired fear and despair in the opposing side. Now it was a mere relic of days gone by.

“Did you secure the goods?” Aranea was not one to waste time with idle banter.

“Yeah. Got them right here.” He patted the trunk. As Aranea moved to open the trunk, Noctis remembered the corpse he had left there.

Shit.

He took a deep breath and counted to three.

“Why do you have a body in the trunk?” Her voice betrayed no emotion, and her piercing grey gaze spared him no judgement.

“Didn’t wanna leave it lying around. The least I could do is to bury it.”

She lifted one slim brow dubiously, not believing him for a second. “Then why bring it here instead of burying it where you found it?”

Noctis played with his uniform’s cuffs. A nervous tell he hadn’t quite learnt to keep under control. “Gonna need to make a coffin for it first. Didn’t have any tools to make one there.”

“Awfully lot of work for a stranger’s corpse. Did you know this person, by any chance?”

Noctis glanced at the pale unmoving feet poking from the plastic bag and swallowed heavily. His silence was answer enough.

“You did, didn’t you.” It wasn’t a question.

With a defeated sigh, he lifted his weary gaze to meet hers. “It’s Luna’s”, he admitted.

Her commanding posture faltered. “The Lady Lunafreya’s?”

With a solemn nod, Noctis carefully pulled the plastic bag to reveal her.

Aranea didn’t even turn up her nose in disgust, instead her eyes saddened with pity. She had seen too many mangled corpses to be disturbed by them anymore. “Where’d you find her?”

“Near Caem, she had drifted to the shore. I hope to give her a proper burial.”

“Understood. If anyone deserves a hero’s sending, it’s her. Carry on.”

Prompto opened the van’s door to let Umbra out. Little Luna followed the dog and silently watched her surroundings in what Noctis presumed to be fascination. “Oh, hello. Noct, I didn’t realise you brought a friend.”

So they could see her. Did they recognise her, though? Probably not. Most of her public photos and portraits were from after her ascension to Oraclehood. Even if Prompto had seen a picture of Luna as a child, he doubted he would put two and two together. Little Luna looked like she had been through hell and back again. If the actual Luna hadn’t been so mangled and had moved around, he wouldn’t have been able to tell which one was the real deal.

“Isn’t the dog always with him?” Aranea absently commented. Prompto’s brow furrowed in confusion. He glanced at the girl and then back to Aranea, but the dragoon seemed to be looking right through her.

“Well, yeah. But I meant–“

“Is Cid at the garage?” Noctis hurried to interrupt his friend. He wasn’t quite ready to give up on his sane status.

Aranea cast an amused glance to the hunter. “Where else would he be? C’mon, those supplies won’t carry themselves. Get to it.” She marched off, presumably to the command tower where she and Ignis, now her second-in-command, spent most of their days discussing and maintaining order. Ignis had put his diplomatic aptitude to use by taking the role of an ambassador of New Lucis, the united last people of the old Lucis. He was often negotiating trade relations between both the bases, Hammerhead and Lestallium, as well as between New Lucis and other countries, such as Tenebrae and Accordo. Such discussions were mostly done over phone as travelling had become increasingly difficult.

The trains within the continent of Terraverde didn’t operate as they used to, thanks to the daemon outbreak in Niflheim. Most train tracks were in a state of disrepair. The lack of hallowed light technology and seasoned hunters discouraged able men to repair the train tracks. Said lights were only available in the largest settlements, such as the newly founded town rebuilt from the ashes of Fenestala Manor.

Airships were a rarity. Only Aranea’s two airships remained operational within Lucis. Tenebrae wasn’t much better off with only a handful of imperial airships while Accordo had none to its name. Aranea’s ships were mainly used to trade between Tenebrae and Accordo and only for the most important goods, such as medicine. Regular trade was done through sea or car traffic.

Gladiolus, on the other hand, had found his calling in construction work. He, along with a dozen other men and women, had built the underground settlement beneath Fort Highwind where civilians took refuge. He had also been part of building a protective wall around a farmland where Iris and Talcott spent most of their days growing crops and tending to livestock. Said mini-fort was under Biggs and Wedge’s watchful eyes and under the protection of the remains of Aranea’s MT units.

The farmers had managed to grow crops during the first year after the events in Gralea, but as the daylight completely disappeared, they had to get creative to ensure the people wouldn’t starve. Through many months of trial and error, Cindy had managed to invent floodlights that imitated sunlight and enabled crops to grow naturally. Iris’ crops were in high demand and the farmers were ever looking for more fertile land to expand their fields. That was where Prompto and Noctis came along. As well as being seasoned hunters, the two of them were reconnaissance scouts who surveyed areas for daemon territories, fertility of the ground and in turn, places where new settlements could be set up, food could be grown and advancements could be made.

Noctis could almost see the gears turning in Prompto’s head. He shifted weight from one foot to the other uncomfortably.

“So, uh, who’s your friend?”

“A survivor I found hiding in the lighthouse.” Little Luna didn’t seem to even realise she was being discussed. So absorbed was she in taking in her new home. “I’m gonna go take the goods to Cid and show her around. There’s something I wanna talk about afterwards.”

Prompto’s expression immediately sobered. “About the funeral?”

“Yeah.” And Little Luna’s identity. Noctis couldn’t keep it a secret forever. He would have to make sure Prompto didn’t promote her presence in case they were the only ones who could see her. He had to think of a place for her to spend the night as well. His and Prompto’s room came to mind, but he wasn’t sure what to think about sharing his bed with her. The floor was out of the question and he wasn’t comfortable with the idea of having her stay with strangers, even if she wasn’t visible to them.

Noctis took Iris’ cloth bag and gave it to the girl. “Mind helping me with this? Got my hands full.”

Her expression serious, she took it from him and held it like it was the Lakshmi of Altissia. With a fond smile Noctis threw on his heavy rucksack and checked that his weapons were securely strapped on out of force of habit.

“C’mon.”

Cid was cranky as ever, but Noctis knew by now from the pleased gleam in his aged eyes that he had brought him the correct parts. The old mechanic hadn’t paid any attention to Little Luna. She silently stood next to Umbra, her pale blue eyes darting around the garage in wonder. Said garage held several old MA-X Cuirass magitek armours from a time when the base had been under Niflheim control. The hunters utilised the remaining MTs and machines to their best ability to cut the unnecessary human losses. Unfortunately not even Cid knew how to fix the aging machines nor did they have spare parts available.

As the trio left the garage, they passed an MT on patrol. Its gun arm was missing along with its helmet and most of its metal face. Its remaining arm was cut off from the elbow and only few wires poked from the stub. In combat it was no better than a moving target, but in sentry duty it did its job; it could see in the dark and alarm the hunters of any daemon activity or report if any of the hallowed lights went out.

Little Luna’s head turned in every direction as she attempted to memorise and map everything in one go. Somehow Noctis found it endearing. He would always cherish the young ones of the garrison-turned-shelter and admire how the children could maintain such an innocence and sense of wonder when the adults saw nothing past the doom and gloom. He dearly wished he could return to those days in Tenebrae.

“Noct!”

The hunter turned around to face his former bodyguard and advisor. It had taken Ignis many years, but the level-headed man no longer relied on a cane thanks to his thorough training and endless source of patience. Had their roles been reversed, Noctis doubted he’d be anywhere near as competent on his own, relying on senses other than the one he was most used to. He would never admit it out loud, but Ignis’ determination to overcome his then fatal weakness was a great inspiration to Noctis who struggled to find his place in this post-apocalyptic world without his powers. He was just another man now. Not a king, not a prince, not even a warrior with magical capabilities – just another hunter who could be just as easily felled by a stray bullet or a well-aimed daemon claw. He was as vulnerable as the rest of them and not any more capable of protecting his fellow man than a seasoned Meldacio Hunter HQ’s veteran.

“Hey.”

“We heard the news”, Ignis’ soothing accented voice informed him. “How are you fairing?”

“As good as can be expected, I suppose. To be honest, I find myself often questioning my sanity these days.” He glanced behind him where he expected to find Little Luna with Umbra. She was nowhere to be found. Iris’ cloth bag had been carefully tied to Umbra’s back. She was right beside him just a moment ago. He peered beneath the large floodlights, but saw no sign of her dirtied white dress. She couldn’t exactly disappear into the shadows unlike the rest of the hunters in their dark clothes. Had she up and vanished? “More often than I’d like to admit”, he muttered to himself.

“Quite the chance you found her in Caem of all places”, Gladiolus agreed. Ignis said nothing, but Noctis could see from the crease on his forehead and the small twitch of his lips that the svelte man did not believe in such chance. The heavy-built man lifted his large hand and affectionately squeezed his liege’s shoulder. “Don’t worry. I know someone with a knack for carpentry. I’ll talk to him and let him know Lady Lunafreya requires a proper coffin. We won’t spare any good materials and make sure she gets the burial she deserves.”

Noctis lifted his hand to cover his bodyguard’s and solemnly held the older man’s gaze. His voice was thick with emotion and gratitude. “Thank you.”

With a final squeeze the tattooed man let go of him and glanced at the former king’s canine companion.

“Is that Iris’?”

“Oh. Yeah, she asked me to fetch it for her. Have you seen her around?”

“She and Talcott headed to Lestallum to get supplies. They’ll probably stay there overnight and return in the morning.”

Night. Morning. Such words were meaningless with no sun or daylight. Still, they clung to old habits and used clocks and calendars to keep track of time. Noctis hardly cared anymore. He left when he was ordered to and returned when he could. He slept when his body was ready to collapse from exhaustion and stayed alert the rest of the time. Passage of time meant nothing to him. All that mattered was survival and looking after each other.

“I see. Do you mind taking this to her dorm?”

“Don’t wanna get your male ego hurt by having a little bit of colour in yours?” the tattooed man joked.

“You know it. Pink’s more of your colour, anyway”, Noctis grinned easily.

“Wuss. Hand it here.” Gladio took the bag from Noctis and felt it in his hands. “Did you use it as fishing bait or something? It’s damp.”

“I, er, tripped while I was carrying Luna back from the shore.” It was partially true.

“You better hope it dries by the time Iris gets back. She’ll snap your scrawny neck in two otherwise.”

“Yeah, well, you can thank me later. I know you secretly think she’s cute when she gets mad”, Noctis gave his old friend a good-natured shove.

“Only when she’s mad at someone else”, Gladio agreed with a chuckle and shoved him back before leaving the two other men alone.

               ♫

They stood in silence for a few seconds, before Ignis cleared his throat. “Is there something you wish to discuss, Noct?”

“What makes you think that?”

“I sense you’re more tense than usual from the tone of your voice. You’re also uncommonly restless. I can hear your boots shuffling against the asphalt.” He should’ve known nothing went past his blind friend. What he had lost in sight, he seemed to make up for with freakishly accurate assumptions based on hearing, smell and touch. That, and Ignis had known Noctis since he was a child. He knew him inside out; every quirk, every habit and every tell.

“I’ve lost something and I’m not sure where to look.” He eyed their surroundings, but still couldn’t find any trace of Little Luna. He knelt next to Umbra, hoping the dog would somehow understand his silent plea to find her for him. Instead the canine took advantage of his master’s current height to lick his cheek. Noctis weakly laughed and scratched behind the dog’s ears. “I’m not even sure if what I lost exists or if it’s a figment of my imagination.”

“Hm. A curious statement”, Ignis commented. “You’ve lost something that may or may not exist. A memory, perhaps? They can be fickle things.”

It slightly unnerved the dark-haired hunter how close the blind brunet hit the mark. A memory indeed.

“You’re right.”

“So, this memory of yours.” Ignis removed imaginary dust from his old Kingsglaive uniform. His uniform was in the best condition of the trio. He took maintaining its optimal condition very seriously. “Does it have anything to do with Lady Lunafreya’s recent appearance, perchance?”

“Right again.”

“It has been a long time since you talked with her. Are you afraid you’re losing memories of your time in Tenebrae?”

He hadn’t really ever thought of that. He held each and every memory very close to his heart and couldn’t even imagine losing a single one. He wasn’t entirely sure what he wanted from Little Luna. To take care of her, perhaps? Make up for past mistakes by returning the love and affection his bride had given him through her actions and letters? Or simply to cling to a physical manifestation of his most precious memories?

“No. Never. Those memories I will carry with me to the grave. They’ve been with me every day ever since father took me back to Insomnia.”

Ignis adjusted his shades. Sometimes Noctis wondered if he wore them for the familiar feeling of having them rest on his nose or to spare civilians from seeing his scars. He suspected it was a bit of both.

“A memory related to Lady Lunafreya, which you’re not entirely sure exists.” Ignis pondered aloud. “Yet you do not believe you’ve forgotten any memories of your time with her. Are you referring to the most recent memories in Altissia?”

“No. It’s-“, he shrugged and belatedly realised Ignis couldn’t see the gesture. “Complicated.”

“I see.”

“No, you don’t.”

A small smile curved the tactician’s lips. “No, I do not.”

Noctis gave Umbra’s head a final pat before standing up to his full height. “Guess I’ll just have to keep looking.”

Ignis hummed. “Best of luck with that. Let me know if you’re any closer to finding what you seek.”

“I will.”

               ♫

Noctis had searched everywhere for Little Luna. He had even gone to the infirmary where Luna’s body had been taken temporarily in wait for the burial. He had taken a small scrap from her torn dress and offered it to Umbra in hopes that he would manage to locate the elusive girl with it, but even that had not worked.

Tired and defeated, the raven-haired hunter made his way back to his and Prompto’s shared accommodation which resided underground along with the other denizens’ homes. It was as modest as the rest of the barracks; a small room with nothing but a single nightstand, a bunk bed and a wardrobe. There was only enough space to move around the bunk bed. Umbra hopped onto the end of his bed and settled down for the night. They had missed supper and would have to wait till morning for food. Dining hours were strict to keep everything going and organised. The garrison had ten thousand people to feed on a daily basis. It would’ve been absolute chaos had Aranea not put her foot down on the matter and made sure everything went smoothly and according to plan.

Prompto was lying on the top bed and fiddling with his camera. Entertainment was sparse. Both men had lost their old Insomnian smartphones after two years of service and had had to replace them with regular Niflheim standardized cell phones. Prompto still brought up King’s Knight occasionally and all the memories they had playing the game. Sadly, their new phones were only good for phone calls. Texting was unadvised to avoid jamming the phone lines. The lines had to be open for long-distance communications between New Lucis and the other countries at all times. Walkie-talkies were given to each hunter, while MTs used a special code signal to report their patrol results to the main computer.

“Welcome back, buddy.”

“Sorry I kept you waiting.” Noctis stripped himself off the weapons, scarf and hunter’s vest before kicking off his old trusty prince’s boots. They had endured surprisingly long. He supposed he had his father to thank for that. King Regis had made sure both his son and the Crownsguard wore clothing made of durable high-quality materials. Noctis changed out of his damp hunter’s shirt and pants. Neither he nor Prompto had proper sleepwear. They and the other denizens of Fort Highwind had long since learnt to be ready around the clock in case of a bold daemon attack. Larger hordes had dared to attack the fort even with the hallowed lights. Fortunately such occasions were rare, but it had instilled a sense of vulnerability and vigilance in each one of them. Always be ready. Always be alert.

“Hey, no prob. You wanted to talk about something?” The freckled blond plopped onto his stomach to peer down at Noctis.

“Yeah. About that girl.”

His clear blue eyes lit up in interest. “She seemed nice. Did you show her where the showers are? She looked like she’s been rolling in dirt the past month.”

Noctis dropped his gaze to his hands. “I, um. I kinda lost her.”

“Well, it’s a big place. Maybe one of the girls took her under their wing?”

“Maybe.” That seemed too optimistic even by Noctis’ standards. How could a little girl just vanish when he turned his back for a second? Granted, she was fast when she wanted to be, but he doubted she would leave him like that without letting him know. At first he had presumed she went back to Dead Luna to make sure she was being treated well and with proper respect, but she had been nowhere near the van or the infirmary. He had backtracked to the garage, but Cid had seen no little girls. He had checked everywhere on the surface level. It wasn’t out of the question that she might be at one of the underground levels, but why would she go there on her own?

“Prompto. I’m gonna say something that will probably make you think I’m going crazy, but just bear with me, okay?”

Prompto blinked at him curiously and rested his chin to rest on his folded arms. “Okay.”

“It was Luna.”

As expected, he didn’t register what the raven-haired hunter was implying. “Huh?”

Noctis sighed, rubbed his face and lifted his head to look up at his best friend. “The girl is Luna. As in the same Luna that is currently very much dead. Don’t ask me how that works. At first I thought I was hallucinating or having some weird visions, but then you saw her, too. And when I lost sight of her, it wasn’t because of her running off on her own. She just vanished the second I looked elsewhere. Kinda like what Gentiana used to do.”

“You said you found her in Caem?” Prompto’s voice was heavy with disbelief.

“Yeah. She showed me where the corpse was. Wouldn’t have found it otherwise. It was in knee-deep water.”

Prompto let out a low whistle. “Wow. Dude, I don’t know what to say. Seems unreal to me.”

Noctis chuckled humourlessly. “Oh, believe me. I’ve been questioning reality a lot for the past six hours.”

“Maybe she just wanted you to save her from being eaten by wildlife and now that that’s taken care of, she decided to leave?”

Noctis lay back on the bed and tossed his arm over his weary eyes. One of Umbra’s ears was pointed towards the conversation in half-interest. “I guess. Was hoping to have a chat with her. She didn’t talk back at all when we were alone in Caem.”

“What would you talk about? I mean, she’s just a kid. Can’t go burdening her with too heavy stuff.”

“I’m not too sure about that. The last time I saw her she was a child. I was, too. When she gave me the ring, she appeared to me in a vision. We were both in Tenebrae, surrounded by countless sylleblossoms and she was there. Right in front of me. As young as I remember her from our childhood.” His voice trembled. He had never told anyone about the vision and how much Luna’s final farewell had affected him. “She was a child, but then she changed into an adult. I don’t think this Luna is different. She reacted when I called her by name and she seemed to understand all the things she should’ve considered as too ‘adult’. She even seemed a little worried when you brought up Iris during the car drive.”

“I completely forgot she was there to hear it! I hope I didn’t upset her or anything.” Prompto hopped off the bed and set his camera on the nightstand. “Think we’ll see her again? I never got the chance to show her the photos we took for her.” He grinned at the sullen man.

“I swear, if you’re even entertaining the thought of taking ‘sultry pictures’ of her, I’ll put you in a box and have you shipped back to the MT factory”, Noctis grumbled.

“I know you wouldn’t do that to me, buddy!” Prompto singsonged. “I’m surprised you even remembered all that. I promise I won’t take any weird pictures, but you can’t deny me a portrait! C’mooon, we don’t have any pictures of her”, he begged.

It was true. The only picture of her he had seen was the portrait next to her wedding dress in Altissia. He wanted a picture of Luna as a memento more than he dared to admit. It already seemed so weird and it bordered on creepy; a man in his thirties fantasising about having a picture of a twelve-year-old girl. He was beginning to wish Little Luna had taken the appearance of how she was in Altissia. Perhaps she thought it was less painful for him to see her the way he remembered her instead of how she was on the day she died.

“Fine. One picture. If we’ll ever see her again, that is.”

PLAY MERFOLK WITH ME :D>>>< (see i got a tail and everything :P )

SETTING:

The world is mostly sea. Humans live on island chains far apart in the northern and southern hemispheres of the planet, and share their world with the people of the ocean. How they relate to each other largely depends on which area they’re in.

B.U (Before Unity) Setting - NORTH - In the cold north, the islands tend to be small, and most food comes from the sea. This, combined with the harsh weather, makes for tough, pragmatic humans, who tend to class anything moving out of the ocean as ‘fish’ and therefore edible, regardless of sentience.

The merfolk do not appreciate this, and tend to try and return the favour, although since they generally don’t like the taste of land-mammal unless there is little else to eat, they usually just drown them and leave them for the scavengers. In overfished areas, merfolk can resort to cannibalism and maneating, with the latter much more preferable than the former.

Coldwater merfolk use stone weapons and tools, and are literate in their own language – usually carving on stone or soft tablets made by mixing fish oil and sand. Few ever bother to try and learn any human language – they’re too busy ripping nets or overturning boats to get to crying merpups.

Northern mer give birth to one or two young each, and the whole pod will care for them for years until full adulthood, providing food and teaching life skills like hunting, weapon and tool construction and use.

They tend to be largely cetacean or shark-like in design, and their skin always matches from tail to nose. At their most showy they have barbed fins and glittering silver scales. They often wear belts with pouches and scabbards, and they can change genders depending on the population demand.

There are a couple of islands where the merfolk and the humans work together, but it’s a grim, wary allegiance. Any human that falls overboard and any mer that gets caught in the nets will still be killed if they can’t save themselves fast enough.

There are soft-hearted humans up here, of course, mostly scientists and conservationists. But captured northern mer in tanks, especially adults, tend to try and kill themselves or escape rather than stay in captivity, even when badly injured. Few humans from this end of the world know enough northern mermish to explain themselves.

Some northern mer have magic, mostly restricted to vague precognition and charms to call prey, but it’s largely up to the shamans of any given pod (usually a group of between six and twenty individuals, adults, adolescents, and young) to do the more impressive stuff. It’s usually their fault when sailors jump ship to drown themselves or a room full of marine zoologists, having captured one, go crazy and murder each other.

They tend to attribute their talents to their 'father’, Leviathan. No one knows if he actually exists or once did some time ago before the humans, but the merfolk say that he sleeps at the bottom of the ocean, guarded by the strangest and most monstrous of their kin, the deep-downers, the anglerfish and the gulper eels and the goblin shark-type mer.

The men of the north treat the mer of the north as terrifying creatures no more knowable than a hurricane or a tidal wave, but the merfolk of the bays and the relatively shallow coastal waters say much the same about deep-downers. They’re considered much the same as demons and bad spirits in human culture, alien and vicious, always hungry and a very good reason not to go into open water at night. Some of them follow their prey up in the darkness, and anything at all is food.

Mer that will fearlessly kill or drown humans without care for bullet or harpoon are stark-terrified of deep-downers, almost superstitiously so.

SOUTH – In the south, where both the water and the weather is warm and some of the islands are large enough to easily support crops and livestock, the relationship between the children of the land and the sea is very different. The behaviour of the seadwellers themselves is very different, as is their appearance.

For as long as anyone can remember in these regions, islander humans and merfolk of the reef and tropical shallows are usually friendly to each other. On some islands, it’s considered very lucky to have a lifelong friendship between a human and a mer, so often about once a year at the first spring tide, newly weaned merpups and human toddlers will be gently introduced by their parents in the shallows of the beach.

Nearly everyone is bilingual, and while southern mer have lost much of the need for their own writings, a lot of them can read land-basic due to having been taught by their humans.

It’s useful to have a friend who’ll save you if a storm washes you up high and dry on the land, or will keep you from drowning if a riptide carries you away. Human medicine is also more advanced than mermish, and it’s much easier to keep a southern mer in a tank if he knows you can get him well again.

Merfolk and humans often trade with each other – some types of southern mer have gained a taste for land-meat, so will happily swap a few legs of lamb for a string of still-struggling reef fish, and humans usually come to them if they need pearls or coral or large shells for jewellery.

As a result, southern mer actually have better weapons and knowledge of human intelligence and behaviour, although much less motivation to use it against them. Occasionally a heartbroken mer might drown their human friend for having chosen the land too much over the sea, but this is treated as a tragedy for both parties, and a symptom of insanity.

Such incidents don’t really happen more than once a generation, and are usually told as cautionary tales by the parents of both species. Merfolk have the same legal rights as men, and crimes against/by them are treated the same way as with humans.

Mer/human sexual relationships are not taboo, but since these mer can’t shapeshift except in extraordinary circumstances and are as unsuited for long periods on the land as whales and dolphins, as well as the fact that they’re simply not genetically compatible enough for hybridization, serious partnerships are not recommended. Usually it begins and ends with teenage experimentation, and anything more than that is highly unusual.

Jealousy of your best friend’s new mate/girlfriend/boyfriend is not uncommon, but acting on it without good reason is VERY frowned upon.

In appearance, southern mer are much more brightly coloured and more piscine than their northern or open-ocean kin, and tend to follow similar shapes and patterns to the reef fish and other species common to the areas they live in. Sirenia (dugong and manatee) and seahorse mer can be found on seagrass plains and near coastal mangrove forests, while cetacean mer, usually limited to dolphin and porpoise types in warm waters, can be found in slightly deeper water.

They’re more careless and happy-go-lucky on the whole, too. While northern mer stick close together in pods, the only time you’re likely to see more than one southerner, outside festival season, is if they’re a small family group – a mother and young, or a mated pair. Southerners don’t mate for life, although they can stay together for several years at a time.

Pups are usually born in twos or threes, and cared for by the mother or both parents, depending on the father’s personal temperament. A pregnant female mer or a particularly hungry adult or preadult of either gender may hunt and eat pups that aren’t theirs, not to mention the usual predators like sharks and toothed whales, so any lost children are advised to stay in the shallowest water they can and wait for an adult they recognise, whether they’re merfolk or human.

There is evidence that southern mer were once much more advanced even than their northern relatives – ruined cities and towers underwater, filled with carvings and frescos, old weapons handed down through matrilineal lines that are far more advanced than their age belies.

But whatever happened, southerners lost that, and only humans who study ancient merscript have any interest in the distant past. The brightly coloured denizens of the shallow water are very much people of the present; a common mermish saying translates as 'If you keep looking at the past, you’ll hurt yourself backing into the future’ – aka, it doesn’t do to dwell on things that happened long ago.

Most southern coastal mer are just as scared of open-ocean mer as they are of deep-downers, but since the latter are much more rarely seen than in the north (aka, about once a century) and southerners don’t write things down, they’re considered wraiths, bad dreams and boogeymen of fiction to scare pups with.

P.U (Post-Unity) Setting:

Set several decades at least after the above setting, during which a group of southern humans travelled north and worked with the scientists and conservationists there to bring a mutual end to the conflict between merfolk and men. It’s not perfect, but now that the northerners have accepted imported food from the south, it’s illegal to hunt and kill any mer.

The adults of either species are not yet at the point where they’ve forgotten the sins and horrors of the past, but the younger generation are definitely embracing the change and generally eager to learn about each other and make friends.

Northern mer, particularly those already interested in writing and carving, tend to be fascinated by the ruins in the south, and while they can’t physically survive in water that warm, waterproofed photographs and transcriptions cross-referenced with existing shamanistic knowledge is already shedding light on the distant past.

Some northern humans, particularly younger ones, move south altogether and often suffer culture shock and guilt with how vastly differently merfolk and menfolk treat each other down there.

-----

SO IF YOU'VE MADE IT THROUGH ALL THAT, WELCOME!

Hiya, my name's Mal and I'm a transgender dude living in the UK. (That's GMT time, folks.) I've been desperate for someone to look at and like this setting of mine as of late - it's an old one, I've had it going years, and I'm aching to find someone interested in thinking up some plots with me! Some classics I enjoy -

- Pre-Unity, a northern human and a northern mer are washed up and isolated on a tiny island and have to work together if they are to survive. (Favourite themes - language barriers, uncanny valley, alien POV, and foes to friends.)

- Post Unity, a northern teenage human and an adolescent mer start to make friends among all the mistrust and hatred left over from the decades of war and abuse.

- A southern inlander or a northern traveller come to a southern island in time for the Spring Festival (when young merpups are matched with human toddlers) and learn a lot about different cultures and lives.

- Or hell, just a beach bum and a southern mer making friends, that could be fun as well XDD

I know a lot of people are interested in the ruins and I am too, don't worry, but that one's a bit overplayed for me at the moment so I want to just let it lie. Oh, and to be clear about the non-human merfolk I like best, here are my notes for their natural history :3

If any of that remotely interested you, please drop me a line on:

My skype: lilacsofthedead (please tell me where and why you found my handle; I have issues with spambots and don't add automatically.)

Or my email: bastloki@gmail.com

I RP best via gdocs (ideal) or email, but I LOVE talking to people over IM. Please please please come and chat to me, even if you're not overly interested in actually RPing this setting and just want to hear more about it :D

Good Hunting!

These simple steps will guide you to understand timeshare

Understanding fractional ownership. Owning a timeshare property is much like owning a townhome or condo, except that your ownership is limited to a specific time period during the year. A timeshare has a deed and a property description just like any other real estate. It is recorded in the county courthouse just like other real estate, and it requires property tax, insurance, a title, title insurance, and a formal closing like other property. The one difference is that the property description will have a time element included. That is key since if you don't like the time slot, you essentially have to sell your unit and buy a new one to get a different time slot. Two more rules that apply to real estate may be important here. First, understand that nothing that the salesperson tells you is binding since in real estate, the only thing that matters is what is in writing. Second, since these purchases are legally recorded, they are very difficult to undo.

Step #2 Red, blue, and white weeks. The key difference between a condo and a timeshare is the time factor in ownership. A unit owner typically gets one week per year. That week nearly always starts at noon on Sunday, and ends at noon on Saturday, but this varies at different resorts. Some resorts offer points that can be used at different times of the year. This is more flexible, but the best weeks often require more points than you are allocated in a given year, so you get to visit less often. The very best and highest demand weeks are called Red weeks. The middle demand weeks are called Blue weeks, and the low demand off-season weeks are called White weeks. The Red and Blue weeks will typically cost more than White weeks, however, most White weeks are truly times that you would typically not want to visit the resort. Think of Minnesota when it is minus 20 degrees, or Bombay during the rainy season. While you should pick the time that works the best for you, keep in mind that anything less than a Red week will hurt resale value and be hard to trade. cancel timeshare within 5 days http://www.timesharerelease.com/how-to-cancel-timeshare-after-rescission-period

Step #3 Do not get sold down the river. Never allow yourself to be sold a timeshare. Don't get involved in the high pressure sales events. It is not worth the TV set or other gift that is offered. Timeshare sales commissions are so high that it is worth whatever mind games and illegal tricks that they can think of to get you to sign on the bottom line. If they tell you that this is a unique property, read that as the market is almost flooded. If they say it is a limited time offer, know that they have more units on the drawing board ready to go when yours is sold. The best way to buy a timeshare is to be an informed buyer. You are the one who needs to research resorts and find out who has units for sale. The Internet makes this work relatively easy. The secret of the industry is that many timeshares end up being abandoned and foreclosed. You can buy these repossessed units for next to nothing. For example, a $20,000 timeshare can be picked up for 10% of that on the resale market. I have seen deals at older resorts where they will give you the unit and several years of waived management fees just to get you locked in to pay future management fees. Never, ever pay full price.

Step #4 A timeshare is not an investment. The sales staff will tell you that a timeshare is an investment that you can sell for a profit or include in your will. That is true, you can sell or pass on a timeshare. You will likely never sell it for more than 25% of what you pay. So, expect to lose 75% of your value within 5 seconds of signing on the dotted line.

The definition of an investment is a capital tool or item that you buy with the intention of using it to manufacture goods or services at a profit. A timeshare does not fit that definition. A timeshare is actually an expense item. In fact, since you don't have to have one, it falls in the luxury expense category. There is nothing wrong with that if you can afford it, and you have no delusions of making money on the deal. timeshare release http://www.timesharerelease.com/

Step #5 Management fees. The key problem with a timeshare is that it eats money. Typical time share fees are $500 to $750 per unit per week per year. You pay this management fee on top of any ownership fees. That $500 to $750 doesn't sound like much when you are thinking of spending $20,000 to $35,000 on a unit, but it gets old after a few years, especially if you don't use your unit every year. In fact, it becomes such a problem for some people that they simply walk away and take the credit report hit. The yearly fee prevents most charities from accepting timeshare donations since they don't want to get stuck with the fee, either.

Step #6 Selling a timeshare. Selling a timeshare is very difficult. This goes double for someone who bought a timeshare without understanding how they work. The truth is that a timeshare drops in value by 75% or more the moment you buy it. Most people find it impossible to sell a timeshare. The resort sales staff don't want to compete with individual sellers, so they often make it impossible to advertise on-property where new victims might see the signs. Also, some scam artists prey on this problem by offering to sell your unit as long as you give them an up-front fee. In reality, this fee only pays to place your ad in their timeshare book. You will never sell your unit this way, and simply end up losing the fee on top of your other losses.

There are a few ways to sell your timeshare. You may be able to list it on E-bay or in your local newspaper. It may sell if you have a price that is under $2500 or it is a high-demand unit for some reason. You might also be able to bribe your sales agent into selling your unit if the place still has new sales going on. They don't normally resell units, but if you offer a huge commission, they may sneak it into the mix for you.

Step #7 Trading your timeshare. The timeshare people always tell you that you can trade your timeshare for properties all over the world. For example, you can trade your Branson unit for something in Paris, the Riviera, or Waikiki Beach. In reality, people with the good units like this don't trade very often. Second, it is difficult to get someone to trade down. Why should someone who owns at Pebble Beach come to Branson? Hopefully not for the golf. Third, the trading organizations all require a membership fee and a fee for each trade that they arrange. By the time you pay the fees for a trade, you are probably just as well off staying in a nice hotel at the destination and keep your week in reserve.

Step #8 Letting others use your timeshare. If you don't use your timeshare in a given year, you have the option of letting someone else use the unit. You can simply give them the usage, or rent out the unit. If you do this, make sure to let the management company know so they don't question the strangers that show up, and to allow these guests to use the facilities. The issue here is that if your guests do not behave, or cause damage, you are on the hook to pay. Make sure that you only give your keys to someone that you trust in your house.

Step #9 Damage and upkeep risks. All properties deteriorate over time and need updates. In some cases, mother nature speeds up this process with hurricanes and ice storms. The bottom line here is that if the reserve fund for the resort cannot pay for something, they are free to pass the costs onto the members in the form of a special assessment. For example, many timeshare owners received bills for $500 to $2500 to fix hurricane damage on top of their normal annual fees. Other items that result in these kinds of fees are beach erosion, dock damages, and wooden decks.

Step #10 Benefits of ownership. There are benefits of timeshare ownership. The first is that it is like a short-term condo where you don't have to worry about cleaning or upkeep, so you can focus all your time on vacation. A second feature is that you know in advance exactly what you are getting. This might be nice if you know that you want to spend one week every year playing golf or visiting Disney. In fact, the fixed time each year ensures that you will take a one week timeout. Since I am not a beach person, I used it to get caught up on reading and veg out. But be careful buying a timeshare around some event. Events can move in time from year to year, but your timeshare does not adjust in most cases. cancel timeshare contract sample letter http://www.timesharerelease.com/cancel-timeshare-contract-sample-letter-that-works

Step #11 Long-term ownership. You need to be concerned about the future. Is this resort right for you and your family as they grow and become older? Will the resort deteriorate over time? Will the shine wear off? How good is the upkeep? What will the area be like in 25 years. Will it thrive or decline? What will the property be like in 25 years? Do you want to pay those fees for 25 years?

Step #12 The bottom line on timeshares. The bottom line is that timeshares are expensive to buy and expensive to maintain. It is easy to get in over your head, and they hard to get out of. Do look before you leap. Don't sign on the dotted line just to get out of a high-pressure sales pitch. Finally, look 20 years down the road to get an idea about what the place will be like in the future.

My Friend DIED BECAUSE OF THIS!!! (Part 2) Mr. Universe Epic Belly Flop *** EPIC FAIL ***

New Post has been published on https://viraljournalist.com/my-friend-died-because-of-this-part-2-mr-universe-epic-belly-flop-epic-fail/

My Friend DIED BECAUSE OF THIS!!! (Part 2) Mr. Universe Epic Belly Flop *** EPIC FAIL ***

NO – I Didn’t DIE, but this will KILL YOU!!! Honestly, my friend DIED.. Because of what I am about to tell you….

Some things in life are worth taking risks for; and some risks are calculated. However, there are some things that absolutely are not a “calculated” risk and NOBODY! should do them….

WATCH TO FIND OUT WHAT NEVER TO DO!!!

Thanks and God Bless, Ron Williams – _________________________________________________________________

I will NOT “go gentle into that good night” I will “rage, rage against the dying of the light”

For life was not meant to end in death Our breath of life was heaven sent

But this is our morbid destiny For Eve picked the apple from the tree

And plunged us into a world of sin Where evil is birthed from within

And now death is part of life’s game Because we filled our hearts with shame

But….I will NOT lie down and simply die I will fight with every ounce… I’ll try

To cheat death and give him the slip Before he plants his kiss on my lip

I will “rage, rage against the dying of the light” I will NOT “go gentle into that good night”

I will blaze and burn in a brilliant flame I will leave behind poems to my name

I will speak with eloquence, oh so fine Before I become oblivious to time

I will NOT “go gentle into that good night” I will “rage, rage against the dying of the light”

I will hold your hand one last time And smile sweetly, a smile sublime

I will tell you to live and not to mourn To drink in life and death to scorn

To be all that you were meant to be For in that you’ll taste eternity

But most of all before I leave I’ll make you promise not to grieve

But to rage and rage against this death And live, truly live till your last breath

I beg you, do not go gently into the night You must rage against the dying of the light

Eileen Manassian Ghali

———————————————————————————————————– Do not go gentle into that good night Dylan Thomas, 1914 – 1953

Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be happy, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Best Alternatives For Kickass Torrent

Damning proof not like websites such The Pirate Bay, KAT always claimed to recognize properly submitted DMCA notices soliciting for hyperlinks to infringing content material be eliminated. in step with the 50-page crook complaint filed by way of federal investigator Jared Der-Yeghiayan, however, DMCA notices have been not in reality complied with. They were as a substitute met with the subsequent reaction:

Your request has been reviewed, however can’t be processed because of one (or greater) of the following motives:

1) The claim wasn’t written in English language;

2) You furnished no evidence displaying that you are the copyright holder

or which you are appearing on behalf of the copyright holder;

three) You provided no evidence showing that the content material is legally

copyrighted;

four) There had been extra then [sic] 30 torrents noted inside the declare email;

5) Your content is hosted on a specific internet site.

Please, make sure to meet all the conditions referred to above earlier than sending a claim.

you may locate extra detailed information regarding the DMCA e-mail layout through the subsequent article -https://kat.cr/dmca/

Respectfully,

KAT group”

In his affidavit, Der-Yeghiayan explains how he posed as a KAT advertiser. His initial ad value $three hundred according to day, however when he attempted to take out a 2nd ad, he become informed that most effective greater luxurious banners have been available.those fee a watch-watering $1,000 to $three,2 hundred in keeping with day .

when shopping for commercials (thru a Latvian financial institution account), Der-Yeghiayan turned into warned to “make sure which you don’t point out KAT anywhere.” additional price became made thru a distinct Estonian bank account.

Vaulin is also accused of going for walks a Ukrainian agency called Cryptoneat. it’s miles alleged that the principle motive of this changed into to launder money obtained through KAT on kickass proxy best.

The Apple Connection

interestingly, the complaint (page forty three) makes it clear that Apple cooperated with federal authorities in tracking down Vaulin. It did this by figuring out IP addresses used by Vaulin’s e mail account (tirm@me.com) to make transactions.

“facts furnished by using Apple showed that tirm@me.com conducted an iTunes transaction using IP deal with 109.86.226.203 on or about July 31, 2015. The same IP cope with changed into used on the identical day to login into the KAT fb Account. Then, on or about December nine, 2015, tirm@me.com used IP deal with seventy eight.108.181.eighty one to conduct any other iTunes transaction. The identical IP deal with was logged as having access to the KAT facebook Account on or approximately December four, 2015.”

page 41 also makes reference to Der-Yeghiayan having access to Naulin’s iCloud account.

“during the quest of Vaulin’s Apple iCloud account i found that Vaulin has an immediate message account he makes use of with the username “nike.”

Arrest

it’s miles predicted that Vaulin may be deported to the usa, wherein he’ll face trial in Chicago, Illinois. The copyright costs amount to a maximum of just 5 years, however the money laundering rate should land him in prison for up to 20 years.

The motive that Vaulin is being tried by way of a court docket in Illinois is that about three and 1/2 years ago, ending in January 2016, KAT operated out of servers primarily based there (in addition to servers primarily based in Canada).

The Kickass Torrents internet site is now completely unavailable. This also includes all of its principal mirrors. The website for Cryponeat (Vaulin’s Ukrainian company) is likewise offline.

it is worth noting, however, that no other employees of both Kickass Torrents or Cryptoneat had been arrested or named inside the affidavit.

The modern-day kingdom of play (December 2016)

KickAss Torrents remains firmly shut down. Its alleged proprietor, Artem Vaulin, is now fighting extradition to the us. Vaulin is resisting extradition given that working a torrent search engine is illegal in neither Poland nor the Ukraine:

“The primary foundation for difficult extradition is that the acts of which Artem is accused do now not represent against the law in Poland wherein he is detained, nor within the Ukraine where he lives and works.”

a new court docket submitting additionally argues that there may be no such issue as secondary crook copyright infringement. US lawyer Ira Rothken has supplied to behave on his behalf, but has been denied direct access to his purchaser in Poland. Rothken also represents Kim Dotcom in his ongoing Megaupload felony conflict, and supports the arguments put forward inside the new court submitting:

“The essential flaw in the authorities’s untenable theory of prosecution is that there is no copyright protection for such torrent report instructions and addresses. consequently, given the shortage of direct willful copyright infringement, torrent web sites do now not violate crook copyright laws.”

Vaulin has been denied bail, and remains in prison during the extradition process.

In different (related) news, meta-torrent seek engine Torrentz has close down. it is probable that the arrest of Artem Vaulin contributed to this decision with the aid of its developers. i’ve updated this listing to reflect this alteration in the torrent scene.

Always Use a VPN to guard yourself whilst Torrenting

Please remember the fact that you could get into serious problem for downloading copyrighted content material from web sites inclusive of Kickass.to. The way wherein the BitTorrent protocol works means every person downloading the same record can without difficulty see the IP cope with of each person else who is downloading that record (for this reason the names P2P and filesharing!). This makes it very smooth to get caught.

using a VPN will guard you because:

Your ISP can not see what you arise to at the internet, as all records that passes among your laptop and the VPN server is encrypted. which means that your ISP can not see which you are torrenting, or indeed, what you are torrenting. anybody looking from the net (e.g. copyright holders who display the IP addresses of torrent customers who download their content material) will see the IP deal with of the VPN server, now not your real IP deal with. In other words, using a VPN hides your actual IP deal with. the use of a VPN will also will let you bypass censorship blocks located on torrent web sites by means of many governments.

Be conscious, however, that now not all VPN companies allow torrenting. For a run-down of the first-class VPN providers that do permit P2P, plus an in-depth dialogue on the usage of VPNs when downloading, please take a look at out 5 nice VPNs for Torrent Downloads. Or use the desk below.

Kickass Is Down, Here Are the Best Alternatives

On 20 July 2016 its proprietor, 30-year old Artem Vaulin, became arrested in Poland on fees of conspiracy to dedicate crook copyright infringement, conspiracy to dedicate money laundering, and two counts of crook copyright infringement. So Kickass is not any greater.

caution: Torrenting itself is technically prison imparting you have got content material proprietors permission. if you do now not have permission it’s miles advocated which you do no longer torrent due to the way wherein the BitTorrent protocol works, it is easy for copyright holders to find out the IP cope with of anybody downloading their intellectual assets. they could then notify your ISP, or take legal action against you.

it’s far, consequently, important to protect your self with a VPN while downloading from the websites indexed underneath. A VPN will disguise your actual IP and encrypt your visitors so your ISP cannot see what you are doing. it is also an awesome concept to apply a kill switch that allows you to shield you if the VPN disconnects whilst downloading.

Unblock KAT With KickAss Proxy & Mirror Sites

As digital streaming services like Netflix keep to rise, fewer and less people continue to be loyal to the good old “torrent sites”. at the floor, this statistic may additionally appear to have dwindled swiftly. but, the reality is that there’s nonetheless a big bite of amusement seekers who have caught with it. And to be fair, there’s a valid reason for this; regulations on availability and overpriced plans, no longer to say, the shortage of “more” comfort that comes with really downloading content material kickass proxy ad free.

over the past few years, we’ve visible a horde of torrent websites come and cross however only some top ones stood the test of time. One such web page was Kickass Torrents, a hot preferred for lots. lamentably, it has been blocked in maximum areas; we’ll speak about that during just a bit. the coolest news is that there nonetheless are ways to get round this trouble. but before we pontificate the answer, we’d like to touch upon a few matters (in case you’re familiar with the arena of torrents, skip to “The nice KAT Proxy/reflect web sites”). lately, we have additionally shared Yify proxy web sites.

what's Kickass Torrents? KAT became one of the maximum reliable sites whose reputation rose to dizzying heights in really no time. The website enabled human beings to down load a extensive variety of media which includes films, song, television indicates, software program, e-books, and more, without dispensing a unmarried dime. KAT turned into the most important torrent site of its time with a big consumer facts-base. by some means this website online had plenty more fans as compared to other right torrent hosts consisting of The Pirate Bay and additional Torrent.

Why was KAT Taken Down? As we realize, downloading torrents is unlawful, and web hosting them, even greater so.
