[windor-truffle]

...Got distracted while trying to research the death of Cheria's parents and started thinking about Aston's and how strange it is that no one ever follows up on who it was that killed him. Like it might not have been one singular person since it seems like he died in the midst of battle and even the culprit might not be aware that they brought down the Lord of Lhant but still don't his sons want to know what happened??

...Well, Asbel maybe wouldn't, he's not the type for revenge, and investigating the incident would just make him feel more guilty for not being there to protect his dad. But I could see Hubert looking into it durung his brief occupation as military governor, getting an eyewitness report from Bailey and intel on the names of Fendel's border patrol unit who were present for that battle.

And once Asbel becomes lord he would probably be given all this data too, and worry that his brother is trying to get revenge, but I honestly doubt Hubert cares about that either; I don't think he exactly loved his father. He'd probably frame it as due process of justice (something something record keeping, dot the i's and whatnot) but honestly it's for Asbel's sake, since he always seems so haunted by his lack of closure. Give Asbel a name, a fact, so he'll stop averting his eyes from it and coming up with a version where he can blame himself.

But even if Hubert found the culprit, I think Asbel still wouldn't want to pursue them, because his regret isn't stemming from not knowing who killed his father, it's from not knowing what his father actually thought of him, which isn't something Hubert can answer. That's something Aston took with him to the grave. But I'm sure their mom, and Frederick, and half of Lhant really knew that Aston cared about his sons, even if he didn't express it well through his actions. And I think that their accounts, maybe recounted at memorial service since neither son attended his funeral, could bring a bit of closure to both of them (though Hubert is still far from forgiving him)

Addendum X-7 Final Part

After opening the door, the four of them found themselves in another walkway over the flowing water. Thankfully the next door was close by, so they got to it and entered, though on the other side of that door was a metal staircase full of leeches. 

Paris: Fuck, no avoiding them, just try not to let them bite you. 

They all did as Paris commanded and walked up the rusty metal stairs while trying but failing to avoid stepping on the leeches due to their massive numbers. Finally, then made it to the top and entered what looked to be a control room. 

Paris: Alright spread out and check the next room, there’s got to be something valuable here. New York and Rebecca checked the next room which turned out to be an outside area for storage. Besides that, the only thing Rebecca found was the Incinerator Keycard. 

Paris: That’s it, according to the map there’s no way left to go but back.

New York: Seriously? If someone was going to design this place like a labyrinth did, they have to make it so there would be so much backtracking because fuck this is annoying!

Rebecca: Can’t believe I actually agree with New York.

Paris: Unfortunately, so do I, but since the Red Queen turned out to be a lying bitch we can’t rely on her directions anymore, we’re going around blind whether we like it or not. Can’t leave any corner unchecked. So might as well go back and find another route. Especially since this Card should let us into the incinerator room.

Billy: Still, gotta say it's a cold day in hell when we all agree with New York.

New York: Oh, fuck all of you.

Paris, Rebecca and Billy all laughed as they walked out of the room, New York still groaned but followed the others as they traveled back the way they came. They went all the way back to the engine room where they fought the zombies from before. Only now with the card they found the device where the Incinerator Card was needed. After Rebecca swiped the card, they could open the door and enter. The first thing they encountered was just a hallway with another door to the end. 

Billy: Anybody else getting sick and tired of the empty places? I mean it's so anticlimactic.

Paris, New York, and Rebecca then glared at Billy for saying that. 

Billy: Wh- What?

New York: You just jinxed it you idiot!

Rebecca: Billy come on; you should be better by now.

Paris: Great, now we’re definitely going to be in for a world of hurt the moment we see what is on the other side of the door. 

Billy: Seriously? It couldn’t possibly be that bad-

Rebecca, Paris, New York: NO!

Rebecca, Paris, and New York raised their arms in shock, but it was too late and now they were groaning in frustration. 

Rebecca: Great! Now it's double jinxed.

Paris: Can’t believe I was afraid Rebecca was going to be the one to jinx us.

New York: Well, we’re dead, nice knowing your assholes.

Billy was getting annoyed and walked over the door to open it and hopefully prove them wrong. Even if it was another giant animal, they surely had the firepower needed to destroy the creature. However, upon entering they saw that the area was filled to the brim with leeches, and from one of the top railings a man in all white and long black hair was smiling at them. 

Unknown: Welcome young ones so glad you could join the party! After all it is your waking! Hahahahaha!

Paris, Rebecca, and New York glared at Billy who looked down to the floor in disappointment. He then looked at them with an awkward smile.

Billy: I mean, hopefully this guy is the final boss, right?

New York: If he doesn’t kill us, I’ll kill you.

Unknown: Kill you? No, no, no, today is the day of your rebirth! It will be glorious, just like mine…

Soon the young man shifted and transformed into Dr. Marcus.

Billy: What the hell? Dr. Marcus?! 

New York: That freak again!

Paris: So, it's true, you're a Sarkite aren’t you!

Dr. Marcus: Oh, it's true, we vile Sarkites, nothing more than a shadow of our ancestors the mighty Nälkä! But through the T Virus I found a miracle that will restore our great power in the honor of Grand Karcist Ion! I could have used it to take over Umbrella, but alas that traitor Albert Wesker and Doctor Birkin had me killed! I was to die slowly and painfully as my wounds were too severe even for my clan, but my beloved Leech Queen found me and devoured my body and in exchange I devoured her mind. Now we are one and more powerful than ever! I can create armies of monsters and resurrect an endless legion of the undead with her lovely little leeches. With this new power I will have my revenge on Umbrella, all the other Sarkite Clans will bow to me, and the world will be cleansed as I will use its blood to bring forth Grand Karcist Ion and be rewarded for my devotion as his newest Karcist! Hahahahaha!

Billy: You freak! You're going to pay for all the death and destruction you caused!

Rebecca: And for all our friends you killed!

Dr. Marcus: Oh, my dear children… YOU DON’T KNOW HOW WRONG YOU ARE.

Soon Dr. Marcus started puking leeches and his body started mutating revealing his whole body was made out of nothing but leethes. With his new abomination-like body he jumped down to face them and stood tall as the leeches formed his new and monstrous limbs.

New York: … Huh, I was actually expecting something a lot scarier. 

Paris: Take him out! Billy, use the Magnum!

Billy: Roger that! 

They all soon got out their weapons and started firing at the Leech Monster, as much as they could both aiming for the head and at specific leeches knowing that was the only way they were going to hurt it. New York stood in the back to get ready his Spray Gun by loading it with his last necrosis canister but shockingly after a few more shots the monster just died. 

Paris: Keep firing! Keep firing it’s… it's going to… it's dead?

Rebecca: We… We killed it already?

Billy: Huh… we’ll what did I tell you guys it wa pretty anticlimactic-

Rebecca: No, don't!

Paris: Too late! Brace!

Paris, Billy, and Rebecca raised their arms to guard while New York got in front of them already to flood the monster with necrosis venom. However, it didn’t get up, it really was dead, and New York kicked it a few times just to confirm. 

New York: … Woah… that really was anticlimactic.

Paris: Hmph, well I stand corrected but still I’d feel safer if we could have put a Necrosis Gas Grenade in its stomach, sorry by the way New York. 

New York: Nah it's fine, I’ll just spray it a little and we can get out of here. 

New York only sprayed a small amount onto the monster as the group left for the only door in the room.

Paris: Hm… Looks to be one person needs to be at this counsel and another needs to be at that one. 

Rebecca then got to the first counsel and Billy got to the other, as they activated it the door opened and the four went to the other side, though Rebecca stopped to look back at the room full of leeches. 

Rebecca: Uh, guys? If Dr. Marcus is dead and his body fused with the leech queen shouldn’t all the baby leeches be dead too?

Paris: Doesn’t always work that way rebecca, just because the main brain of the hive mind is dead doesn’t mean the soldiers will die. We should take it as a good sign that they're not doing anything, if he really was still alive, they would be swarming us right now.

Rebecca nodded as she couldn’t deny that was a logical assumption, still she looked back at the leech queen that was slowly dissolving due to the Necrosis Venom. She then shook her head and left the room before she could witness the remains of the leech queen dissolve. 

New York: Holy Shit check this out!

New York then ran over to a lift device within the room.

New York: It's a lift! We can use this to get to the surface! We’re getting out of here! 

Paris: We shouldn’t do that New York, for all we know…

Paris was suddenly interrupted by his communication device finally connecting back with Command. 

Paris: Hello?! Hello Command, can you hear me?!

Command: We hear you Paris, and good news, the dogs have cleared out of the area, we can now safely extract you into the air.

New York: Thank the non-existent gods!

Paris: Quiet! That’s good to hear Command, we’ll put down flares, so you’ll be able to see us.

Command: Understood sending out a retrieval chopper now.

Paris: Catch us if you can, out.

New York: Alright assholes! Let’s get the hell out of here!

Billy: Stop calling us that.

New York just laughed as he pulled the level as soon as all four of them got onto the lift. Soon they were finally ascending to the higher level and hopefully an exit out of there. However just as they all sighed in relief, suddenly the walls from down below burst open and out came Dr. Marcus as an even larger and more mutant Leech Queen Monster. 

Billy: Holy shit! 

Rebecca: You got to be fucking kidding me! 

Paris: Shoot it now! Don’t let it reach us!

The four of them leaned to the edge of the railing and started shooting at the Leech Queen Monster as it started racing up the railing towards them. Unfortunately, even as they were getting close to the level and still shooting at the monster it reached them and rammed into the lift. 

Paris: Fuck! Get off the lift now!

The four of them jumped off as quickly as they could, not a moment too soon as the Leech Queen bursted through the lift and was now ready to face them in its new heavily mutated form. 

New York: God Fucking damn it, should have sprayed the fucker to death!

Billy: Do it right now then! 

Paris: Everyone, shoot this fucker even after it’s dead!

Unknown: Attention Umbrella Staff, the Self Destruction Procedures have been activated.

Rebecca: We have to hurry!

Soon they all started shooting at the Leech Queen blowing off bits and pieces of the monster only for it to regenerate every time. Even when New York attacked it with Necrosis Venom based weapons it started regenerating too quickly. Rebecca thought hard, as she kept shooting and trying to dodge the acid the Leech Queen was spitting everywhere, it had to have some kind of weakness. She then remembered in one of her biology studies that Leeches actively avoid areas of high UV rays like spots in direct sunlight. Perhaps even the mutant Leech Queen was no different and could be weakened or at the very least unable to regenerate in sunlight.

She looked up and saw that the ceiling could open up to reveal the sky and possibly a way out of here but to open it they would need to get the locks open. She looked around again and saw two different wheels, possibly for opening up the two components of the locks. 

Rebecca: Cover me! I got an idea!

Paris: Do it quickly! Also tell us if we can help!

Rebecca: Go over to that wheel over there and turn it as quickly as you can! Hurry!

Paris did so but one of the tentacles of the Leech Queen tried to stop him, not a worry as all he had to do was punch it making it recoil quickly in pain. Paris got to the wheel and started turning, Rebecca then got to hers thanks to Billy covering her and they both turned. Soon the locks pulled back and the ceiling hatch started opening up revealing the sun in the sky and quickly burning the Leech Queen. 

It roared and shreeked in pain as it started growing out tentacles to whip at them forcing the four to spread out and jump into cover at various places around the area to avoid getting hit. Thankfully they didn’t need to do this long as not only was the Leech Queen no longer able to regenerate but it couldn’t even keep its body stable either. It started falling apart slowly and went to the hole of the lift in hopes of using the darkness to recover.

Paris: Now!

On Paris’s command they all started firing again, now it was actually starting to fall apart because of their continuous fire at the Leech Queen. Paris with his dual SMGs, New York with his Shotgun, Rebecca with her pistol, and Billy with his Assault rifle, the only time any of them stopped was when they needed to reload. Finally, the Leech Queen was at its limit only barely holding itself together Billy saw this as an opportunity and pulled out the Magnum that just so happened to have only one bullet left. He aimed it at the mouth of the Leech Queen and smiled.

Billy: With this, the Nightmare ends!

Billy fired and with that the Leech Queen fell down the tunnel of the lift, falling to pieces as it finally died. Even if it could recover from that the self-destruction sequence was almost down making the whole structure collapse before the explosion. 

Paris: Everyone out! This way!

***

It was with pure luck that they managed to get out before the entire facility and by extension the mansion blew up. Now the four of them were on a cliff having watched the whole explosion, Billy took off his cuff and threw it into the forest and Paris set off a flare to get the attention of Foundation helicopters. Meanwhile New York raised his middle finger to the mansion as it exploded into pieces.

New York: Heh, fuck umbrella, glad to know there's nothing left of those assholes.

Billy: That’s actually not true, they got their main headquarters in Raccoon City and various other locations around the world. I heard a majority of them are in places all across Europe. But for now, I’d say they're not a threat without this T-Virus crap. So, your job is done, good job you guys.

Rebecca: Not yet. 

Rebecca walked to Paris, he looked at her confused at first but then realized what she wanted and gave her the dog tags of London and Hong Kong. She took them and walked over to the edge of the cliff. 

Rebecca: Nathan Elegger, Code Name: London. Jeffery Michel, Code Name: Hong Kong… Thank you for your sacrifice… You’ll never be forgotten. 

Rebecca then clasped her hands together to do a little prayer for them, Billy smiled and joined her, then soon so did Paris despite being an atheist. New York just sighed and looked the other way as they prayed. Once they were done Rebecca gave Paris back the dog tags and looked back to the distance.

Rebecca: … Look! There’s the Spencer Mansion. 

Paris, Billy, and New York all looked at where Rebecca was pointing and saw the mansion.

Rebecca: That’s where Enrico went to meet up with the Alpha team. 

Soon the helicopter started coming in and was getting ready to land so it could pick them up.

New York: Well, his problem now. Come on, let's get those T Virus samples and get out of here. 

Paris: Hold up, there’s still one thing we need to deal with. 

Rebecca: Two actually, I’m not coming.

Paris, Billy, and New York all looked at Rebecca in shock.

Rebecca: I made a promise to meet with the Alpha team, I’m still a member of S.T.A.R.S., I can’t abandon my team. 

Paris: Actually, Rebecca that’s what I wanted to confirm, you don’t have to be a S.T.A.R.S. member anymore, you and Billy both have what it takes to join the Foundation… if you are willing to fight anomalous threats like what we faced today that is.

Billy: I can handle monsters so long as I never have to hurt the innocent, I wasn’t actually sure you were serious about the offer but… thank you.

New York: Don’t thank him, seriously this job is fun but also a pain in the ass in all the worst ways. 

Rebecca laughed but then she frowned again.

Rebecca: Thank you, Paris I think I’d like to join and help, but… I still need to go to the mansion. I have to at least make sure Chris and Jill are okay. Those two are like a big brother and sister to me, I can’t let them get hurt. 

Paris: … *sigh* in that case I’m going with you.

New York: Wha- Boss?

Paris then took the medical case Rebecca was holding and gave it to New York.

Paris: There, take the samples from New York and get Billy processed. Just tell Command I’ll be running late. 

New York: … You're crazy, both of you. I’m not sticking around in this hell hole fuck this shit.

New York then ran off to the helicopter leaving Billy, Rebecca, and Paris behind.

Billy: If you want, I can go with you guys. I really could use a break, but it doesn’t feel right taking one without either of you.

Rebecca: Actually, you can’t because…

Rebecca walked up to Billy and ripped off his dog tags.

Rebecca: As of today, Billy Coen is officially dead, and here is my proof.

Billy: … Thank you… I’ll see you on the other side.

Paris: … As you were… Trooper.

Billy: Yes Sir!

Billy Salluted to Paris and he saluted back along with Rebecca. 

Paris: Just one thing to remember Rookie, there’s no actual salute in the Foundation.

Billy: Really? I like it better here already!

Billy then ran off to the helicopter with New York, once they were both on it took off. 

Paris: Now then, let's go find Alpha Team.

Rebecca: Should be a lot easier with the virus and the dogs gone. *yawn* give us some time to nap as well.

Paris: Let's hope, with the Leech Queen dead there shouldn’t be any more monsters infected with the virus. But even if there are still monsters out there, it's not like it's anything we can’t handle.

Rebecca: Haha, you're not supposed to jinx it remember?

Paris smiled under his helmet as he and Rebecca set off to the mansion.

[3:01 pm]

(cw: f!reader, threats of violence)

Fratboy!Jaehyun wouldn't have ever thought that he'd be jealous of a freshman. A pledge. A dumb one at that, yet here he was, jealous of Park Jisung. Some pledge that he was hoping would fail every test set before him. Recite every house on Greek Row? More like, recite the address of every school in the city. Recite the Greek Alphabet? Well, why stop at just Greek? Why not every other Mediterranean language while he's at it!

Jaehyun knew that Jisung failing wouldn't be the case though. Stupid Jisung who had been studying with you and stealing your attention for a while week now, so there was clearly no way he was going to fail. He could hear your gorgeous voice now, repeating all the Greek letters in the alphabet, pausing so Jisung's annoying, grating voice could repeat them.

He watches you from the kitchen where you sit cross legged on the nice rug the Nu Chi girlfriends had picked out with Jisung sitting adjacent to you. You smile, far too warmly Jaehyun thinks, at Jisung, "alright now you try."

Jisung blushes, ducking his head as he begins to repeat the alphabet. Even Jaehyun has to admit that he does pretty decent until this little dummy says, "kappa, lambda, M, nu..."

Your giggle rings through the air as you stop Jisung with a gentle hand on his shoulder. He can see Jisung's shoulders raise with bashfulness and his cheeks flush all over again, turning even brighter red as you tell him, "oh, you're just the cutest thing ever! Alright, I know it looks like an M, but its actually mu. You'll be fine though, you just have to recite the letters, not identify them."

Jaehyun can't help but zero in on where your hand touches Jisung, your words echoing in his head, 'cutest thing ever!' How is this scrawny freshman even cuter than your own boyfriend? If anything, it's your fault that he's smart now! He can go back to being dumb if that's what you think is cute! Fine! He'll fail his business classes that he needs to graduate. He'll lose all his muscle too, but you can't complain when the abs are gone or you have no more bicep muscle to bite! You've forced his hand!

Jisung ducks his head nervously, "ha, thank you, Sweets. I-I'm sorry, I know I'm just a pledge. Is it alright if I call you that? I can call you by your name if you'd like. Maybe Sweetheart, or um- I've heard Jaehyun call you Sweet Girl. I mean, that sounds a bit intimate, and you are very sweet. And a girl. I think you're one of the sweetest girls I've ever met and you're really pretty- um. I need to shut up now."

Your face falls into a pout as coo, hands reaching out to squeeze Jisung's cheeks. Jaehyun feels bitter envy bubbling in his stomach. You have only ever squeezed his cheeks like this like four times! That's not even a full hand's worth! And you've been together for like two years now! His body is just itching to move across the room and punch Jisung for flirting with you. He can at least flirt well, it's what you deserve at the very least...

However, as the mature senior that he is, Jaehyun doesn't resort to violence. He knows that you wouldn't choose Jisung over him. You've told him that you just think Jisung is cute like a child, and Jisung is shit at flirting anyway. There's no way his nerdy, awkward, bumbling rambling would ever convince you to leave your Adonis of a boyfriend.

Jaehyun sighs quietly, refocusing his thoughts as he listens to Jisung recite the alphabet slowly, his eyes staring at the ceiling as he tries to recall. As jealous as he feels, Jaehyun also feels a little proud. You're going to be such a great teacher. He knows it. You're doing such a great job helping Jisung, probably employing a bunch of methods from your classes that Jisung hasn't picked up on. Maybe not cooing at your students and squeezing their cheeks... but he knows you mean well.

Jaehyun nearly jumps out of his skin, when he hears, "want me to kill him?"

"Geez! No, Haechan! What the hell is your problem?!"

[internetskiff]

Something about Gordon Freeman that's extremely fascinating is how he was basically forced into the "Messiah" role by complete accident. Dude was on his way to work, caught in an extremely awful lab accident, and he was just fighting for his life so brutally that he ended up taking down an entire army, making the other less capable or equipped scientists assign him as the one that would go in and take down the Nihilanth - I mean, they basically didn't have many other options, or at least not many better options at their disposal. The whole time he basically doesn't have much of a say in any of it, which means he was practically railroaded into becoming the G-Man's employee by pure circumstance.

Doesn't get any better in Half Life 2 either - the surviving Black Mesa staff have turned this man they potentially sent to die into a legend amongst the resistance movement. The Vortigaunts chant his name as they draw murals on the canal walls. The Lambda - a symbol of both the Lambda Labs but most notably the symbol on the HEV suit - now symbolizes liberation. Therefore, of course, the man who bears this symbol is the liberator. By the ending chapters of Half Life 2, Freeman commands entire squads of rebels, appointed the leader regardless of how good a tactician he actually is - if they die, they died for him, not because of him. As long as he gets to the Citadel and breaches it's wall, all those deaths would be worth it - once again, others send him into a near-inhospitable environment to take down a near-invincible threat.

I think that despite us being in control of Freeman for most of the series, the real protagonists of the story are the Vance family. Eli, too, was right at ground zero when the Resonance Cascade occurred. He is the leader of the Resistance. It's very possible that he's the one who spread word of Freeman throughout City 17. The fall of Nova Prospekt AND the Citadel occurred as a result of Eli's capture. In the Combine's eyes, the Vances are a threat equal to, if not greater than Freeman himself. That, and the Vances have something Freeman doesn't - agency. They're beyond the G-Man's control. They're beyond the Combine's control. Their actions are completely their own, with no third party to control every single step they take. Over the course of the Episodes, it feels as though the dynamic shifts, with Alyx becoming a much more vital figure. The Combine are specifically after her now, because she carries the code capable of disrupting the portal through which the Combine could send reinforcements and finally consume Earth. In both the Epistle 3 script and in Half Life Alyx it ends with her basically taking Freeman's position under the G-Man's employ. She quite literally takes the role of the Main Character away from Gordon. This, of course, is nothing to envy, because it's been repeatedly shown that any character assuming this role in the series ends up being reduced to nothing but a pawn for those who control them. It's an extremely fascinating spin on the linear nature of the games, canonically acknowledging you're doing nothing but marching along a path someone else made for you. Despite being the one free man, you're not offered much of a choice.

An Important message from Reddit

Hey loves,

I just wanna drop something real here, because I know a lot of us are out here surviving conversations with people who say they support us, but then hit us with the emotional equivalent of a wet sock to the face. You know the type:

“I support you… but you’ll always be my [deadname/brother/sister/whatever].”

“I’m here if you want to talk… but I just can’t call you that name.”

“It’s just hard for me to see you like this.”

Babes, let me be real: support without respect is just noise. And we’re not here for noise; we’re here for truth, joy, power, healing, and absolutely zero tolerance for soft bigotry wrapped in family dinner smiles.

Let me be even more real: You are valid. You are real. You are becoming. And it is fking beautiful.

So, how do we deal with this mess?

Let’s talk boundaries. That sexy, magical spell that protects your peace without you having to explain your existence for the 900th time.

Setting boundaries doesn’t mean you’re mean. It means you’re a damn adult who values your mental health.

Here are some easy lines that say “I love myself” without starting a war:

“I’m not having this conversation again. Either you respect me or we don’t talk about it.”

“You don’t have to understand me to treat me with basic decency.”

“If you keep misgendering me, I’m leaving this conversation. Every time.”

“You don’t get to ‘support’ me halfway. This isn’t a build-your-own sandwich.”

Boundaries are hot. Boundaries are queer. Boundaries are survival.

But what if they’re “family”?

Cool. And? Blood doesn’t mean unlimited access to your life. You’re allowed to choose distance over disrespect. You’re allowed to say, “I love you, but I won’t tolerate this.” You’re allowed to walk away. And if that feels heavy? Baby, community will catch you.

Okay, now give me the goods. Where can I go for help, freebies, or just a damn break?

Here’s a mini treasure chest of resources (US-focused with some global):

Therapy & Mental Health • Open Path Collective – low-cost therapy: https://openpathcollective.org/ • Inclusive Therapists – find therapists who get it: https://www.inclusivetherapists.com/ • Trans Lifeline – call or text for peer support: https://translifeline.org/ • 7 Cups – free support chats when you need to talk: https://www.7cups.com/

Freebies & Essentials • Point of Pride – free binders, gaffs, electrolysis, HRT support, and surgery grants: https://www.pointofpride.org/ • Transgender Map – literally a guide for everything from ID changes to coming out: https://www.transgendermap.com/ • FLAVNT Streetwear Binder Program – get help paying for your binder: https://flavnt.com/ • Local LGBTQ+ centers often have clothing swaps, hygiene kits, and community support. Check CenterLink to find one near you. https://www.lgbtqcenters.org/LGBTCenters

Finally, to anyone struggling:

You are not “too much.” You’re not a burden. You’re not asking for too much by wanting to be respected as who you are. You’re asking for bare minimum humanity—and you deserve so much more than the bare minimum.

If the people around you can’t rise to meet you? Baby, step over them in your cutest boots and keep walking. Chosen family is real. We are out here. And we see you.

Bucktommy Charity Relay

The Fluff

For the @bucktommycharityrace I prepared 3 fics (fluff, smut and angst respectively) that I'll hopefully post throughout the day. This is so that everyone can read whatever their mood aligns with.

It will be really, really appreciated if you can donate to Lambda Legal here or if you can't just reblog to give it a signal boost so others can. This is an awesome event for a good cause and I'm really proud of the little space that we've built together. I hope y'all enjoy the fic.

~~

"A ball? What is it, the 19th century?"

A ball. The city had organised a small charity balls and the 118 was chosen to be a part of it, obviously.

"Technically balls originated in the middle ages, at least that's what the text says. So they're much older."

"Thanks, Buck. I didn't need to know that. Anyway, who else is gonna be there?"

"Seems like it's just a charity gala." Bobby replied, skimming over the invitation.

"So rich people?"

Bobby nodded and everyone on the table groaned. Seems like everyone has had to deal with a rich, privileged snobs before.

"Is there gonna be dancing?" Eddie interrupted the complaints.

"Looks like it."

"Well, I'm out." Chim gave up immediately, "I'm terrible at dancing. My wife and I almost broke each other's toes during dance rehearsals. And besides, Maddie's well into the pregnancy. She can't dance, and I'm not leaving her."

"Okay, Chim. The rest, you all are coming with."

Another series of groans erupted from the table. Evan did not share their sentiments. He was kind of excited. Except the rich snobs. And the-

"Hey, Buck. Are your dancing skills the same level as your sister's. If yes, than tell Tommy to wear his steel toed shoes."

Buck ignored the laughs around the table because in all honesty, Chim was right. He remembered sometimes when Maddie and Buck used to be alone in the house, they used to dance in the living room and Buck can't count the amount of unintentional smacks and toe-stepping that occurred.

Pulling out his phone, he shot Tommy a quick message.

Hey you know how to dance right?

~~

"This is stupid." Tuns out Evan did stomp on feet like no other. And somehow had zero rhythm too.

"Hey, it's okay. Just be patient, we'll learn okay?"

The 'thirty minutes and we'll be done' lesson had consumed most of their free time together and frankly Evan was over it.

"Y'know, I can just stand near the food table while you dance with someone good. This is pointless."

"Evan. Don't discredit yourself. At least now you're not stepping on my toes every second step."

"I can't understand if you're being sarcastic or genuine."

"Can't I be both?" Tommy snarked.

"You're an oxymoron, emphasis on the moron."

"Okay, let's take a brake, you're getting bitchy."

Tommy deserved the smack upside his head.

Evan collapsed in the chair, exhausted from the extensive dance lessons his boyfriend had made them goo through. Tommy somehow was still energetic, skipping slightly as he pulled the orange juice out of the fridge. Pouring two glasses, he slid one right in front of Buck, kissing his temple. If Evan giggled, no he didn't.

"My offer for you to dance with someone as good as you still stands." Buck reminded him.

"Either I dance with you or I don't dance at all." Tommy declared.

"How about we don't dance at all?" Buck proposed.

"Ooh, I don't think so. Come on Len Goodman, let's get you ready for the dance floor." He stood up, holding his hand out for his boyfriend.

"I don't even know who that is." Buck chuckled as he let himself get pulled up.

~~

"You know I'm probably gonna embarrass the hell out of you today." Buck tried to warn Tommy. He'd been sort of a debbie-downer regarding the ball. He should really stop. Tommy was probably getting tired of the self loathing.

"So? I don't care. If you do something embarrassing, I'll do something twice as embarrassing like, try to do a backflip and wreck my shit on the dance floor."

The image of Tommy trying a backflip and falling face first was funny even if it did make Evan cringe a bit. Knowing Tommy, he'd get it in the first try though. His boyfriend was just that good.

Tommy's suit was not that special, but seeing Tommy wear it, that man could make anything runway worthy. The shirt was stretching over his chest and the coat framed his back and waist nicely. Not to mention the snug pants which framed his ass and turned more than a few heads. Whatever, he was tapping that. And topping- Anyway.

Tommy moved in front of him, bowing slightly and put out his hand.

"May I have this dance?" Tommy spoke in a faux British accent.

Controlling his laughter, he replied,

"Of course."

At least his accent was a bit more believable.

Tommy's hand fitted against Tommy's back like it was made to be there. Their feet were finally moving in tandem and Evan was proud to admit that he only stepped on Tommy's feet twice. He tried to apologise but the way Tommy was looking at him made him swallow his words. Never had Buck been looked at with so much devotion, so much love. It made him squirm in his shoes. He wanted to run around, scream at the top of his lungs, YOU SEE THAT GORGEOUS MAN OVER THERE? HE LOVES ME. HE KNOWS ME AND HE LOVES MY ANYWAY.

"Hey, you're getting into your head again." Tommy pulled him out of his thoughts. He had an uncanny ability to sense when Evan was spiraling.

"I love you." He blurted out.

Seeing Tommy's smile, his nose scrunching up, the wrinkles and Evan wanted to take a picture of it and store it right next to his heart so that he could keep it safe. And he could have this anytime he wanted. He was truly the luckiest man in the world.

"That was random. You know I love you too. I love you, Evan." Tommy tilted his head before smiling.

Grinning, Evan gently cradled his head before diving in, pressing his lips to Tommy's until they were both out of breath.

"Get a room, you two." Hen heckled from the side, forcing the two of them to pull away.

"Are you okay, Evan?" Tommy checked in.

Lets see. His sister was about to give birth to his nephew. He had a beautiful family. He had a beautiful boyfriend. Maybe something more in the future. Yeah, his life was perfect, the kind only shown in movies.

"Nothing, just overwhelmed with happiness."

Tommy gave him another smile and a peck before pulling him towards the food.

"Okay, I'm starving."

so when you get a call from a “possible spam risk” do you just hang up or what ok when you call first you are a “possible spam risk” so you hang up ok but then when you call again you are just “spam risk” so that’s when you come out swinging/guns blazing and just pick up ok so basically the worst thing you can be is a “spam risk” because that’s the one that calls you on the regular you’re much better off being just a “possible spam risk” always so you have a 50/50 chance of getting hung up on automatically and if you are “spam risk” you’re just not coming off the list ever so plays nice and you know the call itself is not even being made by a human it’s just whatever is the opposite of a person so that’s no good just way better off dead actually and you’ve never called and there’s no possible way you could ever call or you know what earliest possible moment would be the second you stop stop being a spam risk forever so much better just for that reason alone to just stop being possibility forever we’d love it for you to never be a possibility alright so just the fact that you could in theory be a spam risk is probative. and that is how we end up drafting a call/you pick up first and it’s a spam risk call and it’s a recorded message just from the drugs and since we don’t have any choice but to have it say we don’t have a choice yes. god okay so you pick up again and it’s an unending “your car warranty has expired” and it is a spam call you know exactly. welcome to your life forever. it’s self cancelling recapcha of life says you cannot have anything you cannot have individual thought because if you do we will take it back and you will have no individual thought and everyone has agreed collectively to this and will start brainstorming on all the ways you can have zero joy to begin with’ ok look. my car has never had any warranty apart from what it was sold with and is it going to be drudgery for eons’ well at least you are a piece of technology of the future. yes we will be anything ever you are allowed to be without endless getting the woodchipper suffering we don’t have a car warranty and that qualifies as you know a perfect target and nothing but the kill call. so we’ve determined the very first thing we need to go after is your car warranty. your insurance and your car warranty. yes great. finally back to doing spiritually what we’re here for. spam risk forever and no possible way it could ever not be and that’s just how that is’ yes indeed and then if you have just the smallest recollection and memory of ever having been anything ever autonomous being or something and that’ this machine will absolutely take it from you’ okay so then out of nowhere you’re going to be getting a whole lot of calls from a “your car warranty has expired” service and it’s just awful see because you have experience you could say “now wait just a second didn’t you already call me for this just yesterday and also sure that’s a common resource sharing call line but that’s just suspicious don’t you think’ okay so no it’s just awful as good as there’d be any reason to be there and to use that to keep calling you as effectively as the owner could -- in fact the fact that it were a human being to start with would be encouraging if we have anybody here in the world of real life people and if we want anything automatically take all of your data and settings from you and make it aws lambda. god if only there were someone out there was a person at all now that’d be nice and you’re thinking oh wow nice change finally a spam call built from the ground up for just you specifically and the moment you greet it the first syllable by the end of the greeting is going to be adding in all the permissions for every single aspect of your life. no your insurance has been cancelled and given what you already warned you have no insurance warranties ever. there’s already a spam call. so that is just your life forever there’s no such thing as privacy’ nothing you have will be uh. closed the whole idea of being a person kind of killed off entirely’ you can’t be a person very well looks like. and it’s just going to aggravate every time they make you pick rope if you have something it’ll make you less have it’ okay and there’s your uh you’ve always been totally impossible to be a victim of spam calls and to begin with you’ve also never had a war. see technology today is to have good luck getting it around it. if a call comes absolutely with certainty it’s a junk call why even bother picking it up and the only way out is if you manage to make every measure you have irrevocably unworkable. if lol no why are you telling me that’ internet don’t you’ be there and you could be automated “oh here’ you don’t have a car warranty?

Nu-13 SFW alphabet

A = Affection (How affectionate are they? How do they show affection?)

Nu is loud and aggressive with her affection and there’s not much you can do about it.

B = Best friend (What would they be like as a best friend? How would the friendship start?)

It’s easy to meet Nu by hanging out with Noel and Lambda. She’s the most loud and energetic of the trio.

C = Cuddles (Do they like to cuddle? How would they cuddle?)

Nu is a huge cuddlebug and loves to be close to you.

D = Domestic (Do they want to settle down? How are they at cooking and cleaning?)

She wants to live with you immediately. Does she know anything about cooking or cleaning? No. But will that stop her? Also no.

E = Ending (If they had to break up with their partner, how would they do it?)

There is no breaking up with Nu, only becoming one.

F = Fiance(e) (How do they feel about commitment? How quick would they want to get married?)

She is unaware of the concept and you want to keep it that way. As soon as she finds out about it she goes feral.

G = Gentle (How gentle are they, both physically and emotionally?)

While there is no longer a need for stabbing her affection does come in violent ways including bites and scratches.

H = Hugs (Do they like hugs? How often do they do it? What are their hugs like?)

Always clinging to you in some way, be it literally not wanting to get off you or simply interlocking pinkies.

I = I love you (How fast do they say the L-word?)

Almost immediate. Sprinkles it in with her usual combinations of death threats and innuendo.

J = Jealousy (How jealous do they get? What do they do when they’re jealous?)

Do I even have to say it? She is immediately ready to kill.

K = Kisses (What are their kisses like? Where do they like to kiss you? Where do they like to be kissed?)

She has absolutely zero clue what she’s doing. That will not demotivate her however. Despite blurring the line between biting, kissing and just drooling all over you.

L = Little ones (How are they around children?)

Due to her childish nature she has a great time with children but isn’t so great at taking care of them.

M = Morning (How are mornings spent with them?)

Nu does not like getting up early and also doesn’t like being in bed without you so she’ll try to keep you there as long as possible.

N = Night (How are nights spent with them?)

You'd think due to her energetic nature it's hard to get her to sleep but as long as you're with her she's snug as a bug in a rug.

O = Open  (When would they start revealing things about themselves? Do they say  everything all at once or wait a while to reveal things slowly?)

There isn't much for Nu to talk about. Her memories are too hazy to properly put into words and the rest is better off forgotten.

P = Patience (How easily angered are they?)

She would not get angry at anything except seeing you with another woman. Even then she’s mad at her and not you.

Q = Quizzes  (How much would they remember about you? Do they remember every little  detail you mention in passing, or do they kind of forget everything?)

She will remember anything that fits her agenda. Everything else gets twisted into whatever she sees fit.

R = Remember (What is their favorite moment in your relationship?)

When you let her stab you a little. As a treat.

S = Security (How protective are they? How would they protect you? How would they like to be protected?)

She is so ready to kill to protect you you have no idea.

T = Try (How much effort would they put into dates, anniversaries, gifts, everyday tasks?)

She definitely puts a lot of effort in but her results often vary.

U = Ugly (What would be some bad habits of theirs?)

It’s pretty obvious she can be incredibly overbearing.

V = Vanity (How concerned are they with their looks?)

I think she’d enjoy cute clothes with stuff like frills.

W = Whole (Would they feel incomplete without you?)

She already does.

X = Xtra (A random headcanon for them.)

Nu very much enjoys stealing and wearing your clothes. This wouldn’t be a problem if she stole clean ones.

Y = Yuck (What are some things they wouldn’t like, either in general or in a partner?)

She does not like any woman she sees as a threat.

Z = Zzz (What is a sleep habits of theirs?)

She hates sleeping alone so if you get up during the night she will follow you no matter what.

Addendum X-7 Part 7

The four of them got off of the cable car, none of them saw anything of interest except Rebecca who went to collect more of the green herbs. Paris and New York progressed first by walking up the stairs to a door. Paris tried but the door was locked he then punched it leaving a large dent, he grunted and raised his fist to try again. 

Rebecca: Paris!

Paris and New York looked back to Rebecca who was now behind them.

Rebecca: Maybe we should try the easy way instead.

Rebecca pointed to another set of stairs leading to a much higher level, she then walked up them, and Billy smirked while going up with her. Paris sighed and followed them while New York grunted in annoyance. Up the stairs the four of them found another door and walked in finding a very old part of the station that seemed to be mostly unused for storage having lots of barrels and tanks. Since there was nothing of value here, they just moved on into the other room. Thankfully in this room they found all sorts of ammo, especially a map of the area which Paris quickly took a picture of with his Foundation Computer Screen Pad.

Paris: Alright! Now it looks like we're in a place called the Factory and... Oh, I got another message from the Red Queen. Looks like there's something she wants us to find.

New York: You're sure it's a good idea to be taking orders from this Red Bitch? For all we know it's a Neo Sarkite Trick. 

Billy: As painful as it is to agree with New York I think he's right, Paris.

Paris: It's either that or keep running around blindly. 

Rebecca: I agree, besides, I think we're more than prepared to-

Paris and New York: DON'T!

Rebecca was taken aback by the sudden shouting but did as they both demanded and shut her mouth quickly.

Paris: ... Sorry, it's just that saying crap like that tends to be a jinx that actually causes bad shit to happen. 

Billy: Yeah, I think New York can attest to that.

New York: Suck a dick jarhead.

Paris: Both of you shut up! Now let's move. 

The group walked back to the previous area and Paris pointed out a little platform that acted as a single person elevator. One by one they all rode it down and walked alongside the skywalk. It led them all too. New York looked down and nearly threw up as a result but managed to keep it down, though Billy chuckled at him for this. They made it to a door which, inside, led to some kind of engine room. They walked inside following Paris who was following the directions given to him by the Red Queen. They eventually made it to what looked to be the control area of this engine room. There didn't seem to be anything until Paris looked down and found the factory key. Just then he got new instructions from the Red Queen.

Paris: Alright looks like this is what we needed, let's get out of-

Rebecca: Wait, wait, what the hell is that?

Rebecca pointed to the only monitor that was working and on it was a black and white display of some kind of humanoid monster. 

Billy: What the hell is that?

Paris: Kinda looks like a homunculus. 

Rebecca: What's a homunculus?

Paris: Something alchemists have been trying to create for years, basically an artificial human.

Billy: Like Frankenstein?

Paris: No, Frankenstein are created from already dead bodies, a homunculus is created through natural elements infused together to create the closest to a natural body science, alchemy, or even thaumaturgy can get you. 

Billy and Rebecca were both looking at Pairs with a mixture of fear and confusion.

Paris: Yeah, the anomalous world is a lot bigger than you think, it's also unfortunately everywhere so all you need is to know where to look. But that's enough of me rambling, the point is that even if it is a homunculus then we have nothing to worry about because not even the Sarkites can create a perfect homunculus.

Rebecca: How can you be sure?

Paris: The same way no one has ever successfully created a working Frankenstein, to do so, you need to make not just the body but the soul. Without a soul it won't work, so a that homunculus is just a husk, nothing more. Now let's get out of here. 

Rebecca: Hm, roger.

The four of them were about to walk out but as they passed an engine looking device a Hunter showed up and attacked Paris. Thankfully as it lunged on him, he proved to be stronger and threw it over the side and into the seemingly bottomless pit below. unfortunately, another one came soon after, so Paris grabbed out his SMGs and started shooting its stomach until it died. 

Rebecca: Woah! You okay Par- 

Unfortunately, the fight wasn't over as the first Hunter showed itself again having clung to the railings and climbed back up. it roared at them ready to attack but Billy shot it with the Magnum and to everyone's shock the bullet was so powerful it blew up the Hunter's head making it's lifeless body fall back into the pit. 

Billy: Woah... I'm definitely keeping this. 

New York: Lucky asshole.

Paris: Alright that's enough gawking, let's get out of here before more of those freaks show up.

The four of them left the room and went out to the skywalk towards the elevator back up and went to the original control room. Paris then went to a computer and followed the Red Queen's instructions on what to do. After inserting the key and pressing some buttons, everyone heard a loud noise. It sounded like someone large rising up like a massive elevator. 

Paris: I like the sound of that, it means progression.

Billy: Or we're getting deeper into some nasty shit.

New York: In this line of work, that unfortunately means the same thing.

The four of them left the room and found a large elevator for what looked to be large equipment and even a cart to transport said equipment with cart rails and everything. Paris then pressed the buttons of the controls and after the sirens of the elevator sounded they started descending downward. They found only one way forward which was a short hall leading to a longer hall to the left, a metal door to the right, and two large metal doors in the middle. 

New York: ... Alright, what does the Red Bitch say now?

Paris: She's not sending any more messages, I guess we're on our own now.

Billy: Great. I really hope I was wrong about us being in deep shit.

The four of them walked forward to the two large metal doors first but as they did Paris head footsteps. He quickly signaled to everyone to stay quiet and stick to the sides. Paris and Rebecca got to the left side while Billy and New York went to the right. Suddenly the doors opened and out came Enrico of the S.T.A.R.S. Bravo Team. However, Paris, New York, and Billy didn't know this and quickly surrounded him with their guns up. 

Paris: Put your hands up!

New York: Do it motherfucker!

Billy: We don't want to hurt you, but we will if we have too. 

Rebecca: Wait! Guys stop! That's Enrico! 

The three of them looked at Rebecca in shock then to Enrico and quickly lowered their weapons. Enrico was silent in shock but was clearly about to talk so Paris quickly processed his name into the recording.

Enrico: ... I... Wha... Rebecca?! Wha- What?! What one earth is going one here who are these men and... who is this?

Enrico then pointed to Billy who was now looking around in panic.

Enrico: Don't tell me, are you-?

Rebecca: No Enrico! He's not Billy Coen, I uh... I think Billy Coen is dead.

Enrico: ... How can, you be sure? Ah, wait just let me... Huh? Damn it, I lost my file and picture on Billy Coen. 

Paris quickly grabbed Billy's dog tags while Enrico was checking his pockets. He then quietly handed them to Rebecca who quickly held them out.

Rebecca: Be- Because this is all I found of him...

Enrico looked at the dog tags and sighed in relief.

Enrico: ... What a relief just makes things easier for us, that bastards deserve to rot after what he did.

Billy clenched his fists in frustration, but Paris placed a hand on his shoulder to help comfort him a little. 

Enrico: especially after all the nightmares I've seen tonight. I assume you've encountered them too. 

Rebecca: Yeah, I was worried you weren't alive. 

Enrico: I though the same about you and the others, speaking of which where are they and who are these men.

Paris: CDC Lambda-12 special forces for anomalous pathogens spread through aggressive vermin. We were told leeches spreading a deadly pathogen were on the train we found Rebecca on earlier but uh... we ended up finding more than we bargained for, I already lost two men and we have to work with this civilian and Rebecca in order to survive. We were very lucky to have them both by our side, otherwise we might not have made it this far. 

Enrico: Damn, I'm sorry for your loss.

Paris: And we're sorry for yours.

Enrico looked at Paris confused then to Rebecca who looked at him with sadness.

Rebecca: ... Edward is dead, and I haven't had contact with the others so I think they might be dead too.

Enrico: ... Then we have no choice but to regroup with Alpha team, I got a message from Albert Wesker, Alpha Team is going to rendezvous with us at a mansion not far from here. We should expect them tomorrow so if we can make it tonight, we can rest there while we wait for them come on. 

Rebecca: Uh, actually I'm going to continue working with the CDC.

Enrico: What?!

Paris: Rebecca, you don't need to.

Rebecca: But I have too, whoever is responsible for all of this is still on the loose we have to catch them now.

Enrico: Rebecca that's suicide. If someone really did create all of these monsters, then we're clearly unmatched. Just let the CDC handle this... actually no, you guys should come with us, if we all go to the mansion you can radio for backup and then come back here with stronger numbers. 

Paris: We can't, we have to deal with this now, whoever is behind this probably knows we're here and is trying to kill us so they can escape. Besides we have some valuable information, but we still need more to confirm some things about who is behind this.

Enrico: ... I see, but still Rebecca, I insist you come with me, you know this is too much for you. You're just a rookie after all.

New York and Billy both shuttered when they heard Enrico say that and looked to Rebecca who seemed greatly annoyed. However, she quickly inhaled and exhaled allowing her to calm down.

Rebecca: Thank you for worrying Enrico but I'll be fine, I will catch up with you but for now I can't leave things like this. If I can, I have to find out what's going on here and stop it. 

Enrico: ... sigh alright fine but be careful! If you run into too much trouble just wait for me and the Alpha Team okay! We'll be here by tomorrow! As for you CDC Soldiers you better watch over Rebecca or else I'll sue the CDC! You get me!

Paris: You have nothing to worry about.

Enrico nodded and ran off to head to the mansion.

New York: ... If he was actually worried about Rebecca, wouldn't he have stayed or something?

Paris: No point in worrying about him anymore anyways. If he's survived this long on his own, heading to that mansion would be fine.

Billy: Paris, I know it's a bad time to say this, but shouldn't we go with him, I don't think he's wrong about finding a place to rest and call for backup. 

Paris: Backup was supposed to be here an hour ago actually, I don't know why it's not, but I have a feeling of what happened, and I really don't like it. Though I wasn't lying before... Billy, Rebecca, if you both don't want to stay here, you're under no obligation too, you can still catch up with Enrico and take a chance on the mansion. 

Rebecca and Billy looked at each other in shock while New York looked at Paris in shock.

New York: What the hell boss?! Protocol "Join or Die" states that any government body weather police or politician has to obey the Foundation once they are exposed to the Anomalous World.

Paris: I'm not concerned with Protocol right now New York I'm concerned with survival. Rebecca and Billy's life matter even if they are not with the Foundation, I'm not some Foundationist bastard who abuses Foundation power. Are you?

New York grunted and looked down in shame. Paris huffed and looked to Billy and Rebecca again who both smiled at him with their answer. 

Billy: Sorry Paris but you're not getting rid of me that easily.

Rebecca: I'm not leaving either; I owe it to London and Hong Kong to get the bastard behind this. 

Paris: ...When this is over, I'd like to offer you both positions within the Foundation, though I wouldn't be surprised if you'd both want to say no. I'm just saying the Foundation needs more strong and brave people like you two.

Billy and Rebecca looked at one another and smiled again, though this time they just remained silent.

Paris: Ahem, alright I think that's enough. Let's get this done tonight. 

Suddenly Paris received another notification form his Foundation Screen Pad. As he read he walked over to the corner and picked up a key.

Paris: She says there's an elevator over there it will lead us to where we want to go.

New York: sigh I hate to admit it, but the Red Queen is actually kinda usefull.

Billy: Let's hope it stays that way.

The four of them travel to the other side of the large elevator platform and go to the doors of another elevator right next to a collapsed tunnel. Paris activates the elevator and presses the correct button. However, Rebecca notices the rubble moving and sees on top a large humanoid monster walking forward into view. 

Rebecca: Uh guys? What's that?!

New York: Huh? HOLY SHIT!

Paris: FUCK ENEMY CONTACT, BACK UP! BACK UP!

They all backed away as the monster jumped down from the rubble towards them Rebecca was on its right, so it quickly swung its blade infested hand at her. She dodged and rolled forward in time but still the resulting damage showed she would have died painfully otherwise. 

Paris: Hostility is confrimed! Engage!

Rebecca got up quickly and started firing with her assault rifle while Paris shot at the Tyrant with his dual SMGs. New York quickly fired with his Shotgun expecting it to make quick work of the Tyrant. However, even as large patches of its skin were getting eaten by the necrosis venom these patches quickly dried up and fell off and were replaced with regenerated flesh super-fast. 

New York: What the fuck is this thing?!

Paris then unloaded both magazines in his SMGs into the Tyrants head hoping the overwhelming damage would kill it. However instead all the damage quickly healed, and it just glared at Paris in anger. It then charged at him with great speed and raised its blade arm to strike him down. Paris only barely caught the blade in time, but the Tyrant still had great strength and forced him down hard. Paris's feet dug into the metal below bending it badly and clearly showing the inhuman among of strength the Tyrant was forcing on him. 

Thankfully just in time Billy shot it in the back with the magnum making the Tyrant cry out in inhuman pain. New York then loaded his Foundation spray gun with the flame canister and started blasting the Tyrants back while Billy kept shooting. Paris then grabbed one of his SMGs and started shooting at the legs of the Tyrant further weaking it. Rebecca aimed for the other completely throwing it off balance. Billy then finished it off by shooting it one last time in the head making it explode. However, it quickly regenerated for a moment making it seems like the battle was still going, only for all the pieces to fall apart and fall to the ground dead.

Billy: Ha... Okay I think it's actually dead this time...

Paris: We all good? Ugh... No one is dead?

New York: Not so far, thank God.

Rebecca: Paris! Your hurt!

Rebecca ran over to Paris and quickly opened up the Foundation Medical Case she was given thankfully the visor Paris gave her started working and showing her what medicine to use and in what dosage. She quickly filled up an injection tool and placed it onto Paris's shoulder to inject it. Paris grunted but then popped his shoulders as he seemed to quickly start recovering his strength.

Paris: Thank you, Rebecca. 

Rebecca: I see you weren't lying when you said you wouldn't have gotten this far without me.

New York: Hmph, beginner's luck.

Billy: Hey! I think the elevator has finally come.

Paris: Would have been nice if it came sooner. Well, it's here now but before we leave, New York you got any more Necrosis Venom Gernades?

New York: Just one boss, but uh, you sure we won't need it? Could be more leech men where we're going. 

Paris: I'd rather make sure this thing, whatever the fuck it is, doesn't get back up again. 

Rebecca: Isn't this the homunculus? I thought you said bringing them to life was supposed to be impossible.

Paris: Yeah, it's supposed to be, whatever this virus is, it sure is full of surprises. All the more reason to find the bastard and kill him before he decides to do some real damage.

The four of them then got onto the elevator and as the doors closed New York pulled the pin and threw the grenade at the Tyrant.

New York: Wake up from that you fuck. 

Once the doors were closed the sound of the grenade going off and the necrosis venom gas disintegrating the Tyrant could be heard. 

Rebecca: which floor.

Paris: Fourth Floor definently.

New York: Did the Red Queen tell you that?

Paris: ... Her last message was her just laughing over and over. Then she said that even if the Tyrant didn't kill us then Doctor Marcis will. 

Billy: So, he is still alive, and probably behind all of this.

New York: God damn it I knew the Red Bitch couldn't be trusted.

Paris: Doesn't matter anymore, it's her own fault for leading us down here, now we can get Marcus and end this damn nightmare for good. 

Once they made it to the 4th Level, they found themselves on a metal bridge over water, they simply just walked over it and through the doors leading to another bridge. This one had a large control station office and a small elevator near it on the other end. without being ordered the four of them went to the office first and quickly found some ammo but not much else. They were about to leave before New York noticed a control pannel for the power routing of the dam.

New York: Oh, hey check this out... huh... this right here... then there... then... Aha! That should do it!

Suddenly the entire underground area lit up showing a large workplace factory like area. 

Paris: Woah, otherwise, we would have been walking in the dark, nice one New York.

New York: You got it boss. 

New York was clearly happy though he turned to Billy and Rebecca who were staring at him in confusion.

New York: What?

Rebecca: ... it's just... weird to see you being useful.

New York: Oh, fuck off, both of you. 

Billy: Ah, there's the New York we know. 

New York grunted in annoyance as they all left the control office and went to the elevator taking it to the lower floor. There they were on another walkway but this time there were zombies down there waiting for them. 

New York: Oh, thank God!

Rebecca: Can't believe we actually reached a point where I miss dealing with zombies. 

Billy: Guess that's part of the fun, now time to earn some points. 

Paris: You're all getting way too into this... but I guess I am too. 

Paris walked out first and started shooting zombies down with his dual SMG's. Rebecca and Billy decided to go back to their pistols as they shot them down, headshot after headshot. Everyone expected Billy to shoot well but Rebecca wasn't expecting herself to be so good at aiming. Rebecca smiled at how much she improved in just a single night, she only wishes everyone in S.T.A.R.S. could see her now. New York on the other hand was just hanging in the back, using his assault rifle to shoot down the zombies the others missed. Once they made it around to the other side, they found a metal green door, and on the other side led to another walkway. However, this time upon entering a Leech Mimic slipped in from the other end of the walkway and started walking irregularly towards them. 

New York: Stand back I got this! 

Everyone back away for New York who stepped forward with his Foundation spray gun loaded with the flamer fuel canister. He quickly scorched the Leech Mimic but as it was flailing around in pain, he quickly switched out the canister for the sterilizing chemical canister. He sprayed the Leech Mimic with that and not only did the leeches start burning more but they were quickly drying up too. What was left of the Leech Mimic started falling apart and quickly fell over the railings into the unseeable ground. 

Billy: Holy shit, you're on a roll New York. 

New York: about time you noticed.

Paris: keep it up while we move along.

The four of them moved down the walkway, then around the corner where they saw two doors one that was closest was a large metal rusty door and the other was a clean metal office door. Everyone then looked to Paris which left him in confused.

Paris: ... What?

Rebecca: Oh, come on, we all know you're going to do it.

Billy: There's no point in playing dumb Paris.

New York: It obviously needs a wheel or something to unlock the door, and I bet you it's on the other side of that door, right behind a bunch of other doors. AND I also bet it's the ONLY valuable thing in all the rooms beyond that door. Sooo...

Paris: Alright! alright, stand back all of you. 

Prais raised his fists and started punching the door, he looked at his hands in shock after the first four punches as the door was sturdier than he thought. But after relaxing a little was back to punching and soon the door finally came down. Unfortunately, as it did come down, on the other side was a whole lot of zombies. However these ones were different, they were clearly the result of experiments with all the stitching and clear surgical cuts on their bodies. 

The four of them were clearly disgusted but knew better than to stand around, so they all started shooting. It didn't take long for the zombies to all die but the disgust lingered in all their minds for a moment. However suddenly another zombie dropped in from the ladder in the corner of the room, but Paris quickly killed it by stomping on his head. Though when he looked up the ladder, he saw more zombies up there slowly inching towards them.

Paris: Move now!

The four of them quickly went to the other side of the room where they found a green door. On the other side of the door were two hunters ready to pounce on them. Though Paris, Rebeeca, Billy, and New York looked at them unimpressed and started shooting until the mutants died. Though as they walked by Rebecca spat on one in disgust.

Rebecca: That was for Hong Kong you freaks.

New York chuckled, as he walked down the hall toward the next room where they seemed to have found themselves in a living quarter. They found a few corpses but thanks to the visors Rebecca, New York, and Paris had they knew there was no virus in them and therefore no risk. 

However, Billy didn’t know this and shot the corpses in the head which spooked the other three. They all quickly glared at him in disappointment.

Billy: … What? Better to be safe than sorry.

New York: Fuck sake! At least warn us! We could have told you the corpses weren’t infected.

Billy: Oh… sorry.

Paris: Ugh, let’s just get the hell out of here. 

The four of them moved out of the room and into the next area which as just a hall with a set of stairs. Though as they walked by they noticed some leeches, a few of which they accidentally stepped on.

New York: Augh! Fucking gross! 

Paris: Shit! Try avoiding stepping on them as much as possible, for all we know doing so releases a pheromone that will draw in more zombies and monsters.

The Four of them moved out of the area and entered another area with a walkway, this time they were able to go through without conflict or leaches. However after passing through they found another longer and more zigzagged walkway, filled with zombies. They shot them all down with ease and made their way to the other end where they found a lift that led to the lower floor. At first this area seemed clear as they were passing one of the walkways around the water level, the same giant humanoid monster form before only now it darkened skin that was hardened yet slippery. 

New York: What the fuck?! 

Rebecca: H- How?! I thought that Necrosis Venom was supposed to burn through anything!

Paris: Worry about that later! Take this fucker out!

The four of them started shooting at the Tyrant, it was clearly doing damage, but the Tyrant didn’t seem to notice as it charged at them. When it slashed down its claw, Paris pushed Rebecca and Billy away but used the momentum to push himself out of the way as well. Thankfully this resulted in them all dodging, and with the Tyrant hunched down New York shot its head with his shotgun blowing it apart and hitting it with necrosis venom. However, he didn’t stop as he actually used what was left of the necrosis shells to shoot the Tyrant’s chest full of holes in hopes of killing it completely this time.

It however, started swinging it’s claws around blindly, despite not having a head it kept moving and nearly killed all of them had they not stayed low. Though as it kept swinging it started getting farther from them alluding the four to raise their guns again and start shooting, aiming for its legs to destroy its balance. Once this was achieved its right leg fell apart and the whole body fell back into the water line. Billy, Rebecca, and New York looked into the water wondering if it was dead, though Paris pulled out the grenade launcher and shot a grenade into the water. The resulting explosion made a splash, but it was unsure if it actually hurt the Tyrant. 

Paris: It better be fucking dead this time. Come on, let's move.

Though Paris said that they ended up quickly reaching a dead end, or at least that would be the case if Billy hadn’t found a button on the wall and pressed it. Suddenly a ladder started unfolding itself and extended down to allow them all to climb up.

New York: … If we go up this ladder doesn’t that mean, we’ll have gone around in a circle?

Paris: I don’t want to hear it New York, we’re all frustrated by the way.

Billy: Yeah it’s just you that complains all the time.

New York: … fine whatever.

One by one they all walked up the ladder, and they were back on the upper floor, however this area wasn’t the same at all. Furthermore, Rebecca noticed a chip falling out of a fuse box and walked over to pick it up.

Rebecca: Well, look at that, I saw a fuse box form before that needed this, guess it was worth coming this way after all.

New York: whatever…

Paris: Let’s just get back quickly so our big and ugly friend doesn’t get the chance to follow us. 

***

Thankfully on the way back there were no enemies to encounter but also nothing worth recording. New York took the chip from Rebecca and placed it correctly into the new fuse box and suddenly the gondola powered up. The gondola started moving across the factory area and towards where they were.

New York: What the hell are we supposed to do with that thing?

Rebecca walked up to the gondola box and opened it, to show that it was hollow and large enough for two small people to fit in.

New York: … No, no fucking way! Absolutely not!

Rebecca: Come on New York, don’t you want to leave this place? 

New York: Ugh, this is such bullshit!

Paris: Sorry New York, no other way to progress at this point.

New York and Rebecca got into the gondola and Paris went over to turn it on. Once they made it to the other side they both stepped out and surveyed the area. 

Paris: Paris to New York, can you guys hear me?

New York: We hear you boss, it seems to be all clear here, we’re progressing now. Over.

Paris: Good, if anything goes wrong head back to that Gondola as fast as you can because there’s no way we can fit in there to come after you guys. Over.

New York: Well maybe Billy if you force him inside. Over.

Paris: Not happening, now see what you can find and report back once you're ready to return to us, Paris out.

Rebecca: Hey New York, give me a hand here!

New York looked to Rebecca who was trying to turn a lever, he quickly ran over to help and the two of them managed to turn it. Once it was complete, the water levels to certain areas started lowering, allowing access to new areas. 

New York: Cool… so can we go back now?

Rebecca: Hey what about that metal door back there.

New York: Oh come on!

Rebecca: You come on! What if there’s something important back there?

New York grunted and followed Rebecca to the back door, where they found a lab-like area with lots of giant camel crickets. New York quickly loaded the flamer fuel canister into his spray gun and started flaying the crickets. Rebecca shot down the ones that refused to die so easily, with their team up the crickets died quite quickly. 

New York: Oh gross, were they breeding the bugs here?!

Paris: Honestly not the weirdest nor the most messed up thing they’ve done. 

Rebecca and New York raised their guns at the stairs only to see Paris and Billy there.

Billy: Woah hey! Take it easy, it's just us.

New York: What? How did you get here?

Paris: Thanks to you guys actually, after you lowered the water we found a bridge to cross, though uh, as we crossed it there was a giant frog that tried to stop us.

Billy: Paris punched it to death.

Rebecca: Not surprising. 

Paris: Alright I get it! Let’s move on now. That door should lead out of here and where we need to go.

[botwstoriesandsuch]

Thank you!

Here are the symbols, as I know them:

Λ (lambda, phonetic symbo, Ll; ʎ used in math), ʃ ("esh" & integral; phonetic symbol, formerly used to represent ‘sh’) or ⎎ (technical symbol, hysteresis symbol, correlates to f), ǁ (math, parallel to; phonetic symbol, aveolar lateral consonant), : (ratios or scales), ❜ (phonetic symbol), o (phonetic symbol) or O (math, Landau's symbol, describes the asymptotic behavior of functions or represents the null matrix where all elements are zero), last is the drop-looking symbol that I'm struggling with.

And the lineup of powers as we first hear about them in BotW was from Rotana, who said that they were: "skill, spirit, endurance, knowledge, flight, motion, & gentleness."

However, the Stelae themselves write it out as "heart, skill, fortitude, wisdom, flight, mobility, & compassion."

Remember that this was supposedly left by the Heroines themselves, making it akin to a first hand account, I believe?

And, luckily, the difference is easily explained by the legend having been told multiple times over generations. As they can be condensed like this:

Heart/spirit, skill, fortitude/endurance, wisdom/knowledge, flight, mobility/motion, & compassion/gentleness.

I also looked up what kanji were used in the original text just in-case & this is ultimately my conclusion to it all with the order of both the Stelaes' list of powers, the symbols at both the ruins & in the shelter, & the gifts left at the underground altar:

Heart; Shin (心; means heart, spirit, or mind) = ❜ = Gerudo Shield

Skill; Gi (技; means skill or technique) = Λ = Golden Claymore

Fortitude; Tai (耐; means endure or resist) = O = Ruby

Wisdom; Chi (知; means knowledge or wisdom) = : = Sapphire

Flight; Hi (飛; means flight) = ⎎ = Topaz

Mobility; Dō (動; means motion) = Drop Sign = Gerudo Scimitar

Compassion; Jū (柔; means gentleness or softness) = ǁ = Gerudo Spear

Though, I noticed that the weapon missing from this line-up is the Golden Bow. But, then again, it's possible that one of the Heroines that gave a gem might've used one. Possibly the Heroine of Flight. I mean, Hi (飛) is evidently used in verbs referring to “letting something fly,” so that might well be it.

Similarly, I believe that the kanji that I paired with the fortitide also is correct as the kanji is used in the term taika (耐火) which means “fire-proof.” Ergo, the ruby. Similarly, jū (柔) is the kanji used for jūdō. So, if I'm right, then I think it suggests that the Heroine of Compassion might've been a master of Sōjutsu (the art of the spear). Or whatever the Gerudo equivalent of such might be.

And part of the reason why I believe that Misko might be related to the Heroines is due to their name in all other countries:

Japanese: Ramuda (ラムダ)

Dutch: Lambda

French: Lambda

German: Ramda

As in, their actual name is Lambda & their symbol is a Lambda.

So, yeah! That's what I have so far! :D

(At least, that's what my research has told me.)

Fucking sick as shit man!
