Octopath II gameplay tips!

I'd been thinking about this for a while, but since I have mutuals who are playing 8path2, here's a list of advice and things the game doesn't explain!

Incorrect/vague skill descriptions:

The Warrior skill "Enervating Slash": The description is flat-out wrong. This will remove all positive status effects from the USER, rather than the targeted enemy!

"Increased intensity spells" courtesy of the Scholar job: So wtf does this even mean? It gives you a counter that causes the next x number of AREA TARGET SPELLS to be "intensified". For instance, the Cleric's "Heal Wounds" skill can be intensified, but NOT the Apothecary's "Healing Touch" skill. For elemental-based spells, such as Fireball, this causes it to trigger twice (or three times if using Alephan's Wisdom).

Throné's EX skill "Disguise": When used on an ally, Throné takes on their job(s) and learned skills. Sadly, because she doesn't also take on their equipment stats (to my knowledge; I haven't actually verified this), it means she's usually not optimized for their fighting style.

Partitio's EX skill "Share SP": This also has a flat-out wrong description. He gives a percentage of his SP to EACH party member, not just one. For instance, without boosting, he will lose 25% of his max SP and every other party member will gain whatever that amount is. And yes, they'll get it even if it puts them above their normal max SP! Partito rocks!

The Apothecary job’s “Preventative Measures” support skill: Rather than nullifying status ailments for the first 3 turns of battle (as the description says), it nullifies the first three status effects to target the user. So if the user isn’t hit with a status effect until turn 4, it will still be nullified, but if they’re hit with 4 status effects within the first three turns, the 4th will still take effect.

Battle interface:

"Status ailments" include Poison (take damage each turn), Sleep (unable to act until hit), Unconsciousness (unable to act, period), Blindness (greatly reduced accuracy), Terror (unable to boost), Silence (unable to use skills) and Confusion (target a random ally until hit).

"Positive status effects" and "negative status effects" include buffs/penalties to stats, as well effects like temporary HP regen, Sidestep/Vengeful Blade charges, etc. Note that the Cleric skill "Sacred Shield" does NOT appear next to the character's name, and therefore does not count as a "positive status effect"

The order of enemy weaknesses is something you'll see mentioned in any guide/trivia about the game, and it's incredibly helpful. Weaknesses are always listed in the same order: Sword, Polearm, Dagger, Axe, Bow, Staff, Fire, Ice, Thunder, Wind, Light, and Dark (SPD ABS FIT WLD). So for instance, if I determine that an enemy is weak to daggers and the dagger icon is in the first square, I know that enemy CANNOT be weak to swords or polearms, because those would be listed first.

Traveler talents:

Don't forget that Osvald's Study Foe talent reveals more weaknesses each time he encounters the same enemy!

Remember to have Partitio in your party in order to take advantage of his Business Partners talent! For instance, if Parti's follower gives a discount when buying things, this applies not only to NPCs he Purchases from but also shops if he happens to be in the party. Similarly, you may want to pick up a follower that earns more from sales before you sell off a bunch of junk. And if his follower gives a refund at the inn, you can refill your whole party's meters for free as long as you keep Partitio in your party.

Dancer skills that will activate Agnea's Dance Session talent include: Lion Dance (Dance Session targets the ally), Peacock Strut (Dance Session targets the ally), Dagger Dance (Dance Session targets Agnea), and Bewildering Grace (Dance Session targets a random party member). Ruinous Kick, Stimulate, and Sweeping Gale will NOT trigger a Dance Session.

If you want to go into a dungeon you're just under-leveled for, try taking both Throné and Temenos and clearing it at night. Blessing of Darkness and Moonlight Judgement together can give a huge advantage, especially once you're higher-level.

Miscellaneous:

Caits and Octopuffs have absurdly high evasion and elemental defense, but give you massive rewards if defeated. They will often flee the battlefield if ANY enemy has taken damage by the time their turn comes around. Usually the best way to defeat them is to hammer them will all your strongest magic, as spells can't miss and have a minimum damage of 1. Use of Stimulate, Leghold Trap, and the A Step Ahead support skill can come in handy to push their turns back. As @limayde mentioned, Medium and Large Soulstones can also defeat most of them instantly!

Healing (via skills) is based on the caster’s elemental defense. Therefore, it’s a good idea to give your healers equipment with high Elem. Def!

DotS: Knights of the Stars file #04 — Sir Meta Knight

Name: Sir Meta Knight of the Stars Age: 514 yrs (Young Adult Dream Puff) Rank: 4th Star Knight Captain

Seemingly aloof with cryptic tendencies, Sir Meta Knight is among the more mysterious members of the Star Warriors' knight faction.

He earned his title "The Lone Swordsman" over 300 years ago after the loss of his original squadron of Star Warriors, due to an ambush by both regular Demon Beasts, and led by a ferocious True Nightmare. This was among the first emergences of True Nightmares, and so his team stood no match against the terrors they faced.

Following the demise of his best friend gone Demon Beast, Jecra, he swore to a path of solitude. Many say it was due to shame, or guilt, but in truth it was out of fear for others. Knowing he would inevitably face great horrors, he chose to seek great strength so that he may take on these trials alone, so that no others would suffer the losses he had.

Even in today's age, Sir Meta Knight tends to keep his intentions close to his chest; however those who know him well enough can rest assured knowing that said intentions are with the benefit of others in mind. Though this tendency of his leaves others in the dark, as they usually don't know his plans until he's in the process of executing said plans. This leads to frequent misconceptions and miscommunications surrounding his motives.

Despite being the leader of an entire personal army and battleship, he falls into his loner habits often and leaves his men to piece together his schemes. Senior staff are accustomed to it, though it does frustrate many of his crew members, new or old.

He does patrols around Popstar regularly, be it with his crew, a handful of men, or most commonly solo. As a result, however, he has established a decent relationship with many towns, villages, and a handful of cities along the peaceful star.

Unbeknownst to the public, Sir Meta Knight has a playful side. Although it's frequently seen that he adores donning various costumes for certain occasions (such as cosplay events or festivals), there's more than meets the eye with this blueberry lad!

Since he was a young boy, he's harbored a strong fascination for monsters and collecting information in general. As a result of this, he's comprised an extensive database featuring every monster, Demon Beast, True Nightmare, Boss Class Beasts, and mythical creature discovered in the Galaxy. Most he personally has encountered, and gathered valuable intel from other warriors as well.

He compiled it all into a handy mobile application which he has lovingly titled "MonsterDex". This app is used Galaxy-wide by Star Warriors and fellow Knights. With intention, it's saved many lives by arming newer warriors with expert knowledge on dangerous, or surprisingly docile, encounters.

Meta's a bit of a nerd when it comes to his fun facts, and likes to share his knowledge with others in hopes of finding a fellow enthusiast. It tends to backfire, as his pointers are frequently lost on common folk.

As implied, he's also incredibly savvy with technology, and is something of a coding wonder. He rivals but one tech genius from his childhood, though she was always a few steps ahead of him.

Underneath that stoic, enigmatic knight persona hides a rather sweet young man with a huge heart. His love and passion for others fuels his core, and is his primary motivation behind all he does— be it well executed or poorly shown.

Sir Meta Knight's motivations lie in his selfless desire to protect others, especially those he cares about most to a point of detriment to himself at times. Several sleepless nights spent fixing a prosthetic limb for a friend; using his body to absorb a frightening blast to shield a young Waddle Dee; going by his lonesome to rescue his ship's kidnapped captain whilst the Halberd lie crashed behind him. He will do anything and everything necessary to do what's right, even if it's on the extreme side at times.

On one final note, he loves jokes! He's grown real clever with it, and enjoys sliding a quick pun in conversations when people least expect it. Surprising people is one of his favorite hobbies, hence why he enjoys sneaking up on people, only for them to later discover his presence when he makes himself known, or they happen to look at his direction.

He has a strong playful attitude hidden behind many of his more laid-back endeavors, and his younger, more cocky and witty side may show itself in certain situations. He's strongly situational, so how he interacts with something or someone highly depends on context.

For many years, he was consumed with searching for the truth behind Eave's disappearance; however, the trail went cold centuries ago. It wasn't until recently that a great discovery landed almost quite literally into his hands, and set the trail ablaze once more... thusly re-sparking his obsession. Perhaps now he'll come ever closer to solving the mystery, and finally achieving the closure he's long sought.

A Painful Secret

MAIN MASTERLIST

Obi-Wan Kenobi x Fem!Reader

Word Count: 3,815ish

Summary: You have a secret chronic illness, unwilling to share the information out of fear. Obi-Wan knows you are hiding something.

Notes: This is based on my real life, so please be kind with the comments. (Obviously with some exaggeration.) I am a 4th grade teacher with Rheumatoid Arthritis and this week has been hell (because of students, parents, and my body).

You closed your eyes and took a deep breath as you tried to use the Force to push away your pain. You hated that meditation was doing nothing to ease any of your discomforts. With a sigh, you opened your eyes and glanced at the clock. You needed to get going to be down in the training rooms before your class of younglings got there. It took you a moment to gain your bearings before standing up. A whimper slipped through your lips as the moment hurt your aching joints even more. You knew that you should probably cancel your class or get another Jedi Master to sub, but that would be the third time in a week, and the Jedi Council—mainly one certain member—would be questioning you more than was already happening.

Only a few medical droids and two of the Jedi Healers knew of your illness. It was an illness of the joints and even with all the medicine in the Galaxy, there was no real treatment or cure for it. And, of course, it would only it worse with age. You had good days and bad days, right now though there seemed to be more bad days than good. You were known throughout the Jedi Order as a fighter, in actions and words, so giving in to this illness was not an option. Especially since you had the future of the Jedi Order relying on you.

As you walked through the Temple to reach the training room that was your classroom, you weren’t moving as fast as you like. You had your shields up around your Force signature to keep other Jedi from finding out your pain as you passed them.

“Hello there, Master Y/N,” Obi-Wan Kenobi greeted as he came to walk beside you.

You pressed out a smile. “Hello, Master Obi-Wan,” you responded. “How are you doing today? Anakin cause you any trouble today?”

“Not yet,” he chuckled lightly. “I am good. I have been worried about how you have been, though.”

“Oh?”

“You have canceled classes twice this week. And your guards are up more often than not. It is unlike you.”

“I am fine, Obi-Wan.” The look in his eye made it clear he wasn’t believing you. “I promise.”

“Y/N,” he sighed, gently touching your arm as a signal to stop with him. You did. “We’ve known each other since we were younglings. I know when you are keeping something from me. You have been for a while and I have let you, allowing you to deal with whatever it is on your own time. But now you are missing your teaching assignment and your guards are up and you are holding yourself as if you are in constant pain. Y/N, I am begging you, tell me what is wrong. I just want to help.”

For a brief moment, you thought you might tell Obi-Wan. He could help you, and support you on your bad days. Then your mind got the better of you. Your thoughts quickly spiraling. What if he sees you as weak? What if he tells the Council and you are banned from helping with the war effort? Banned from teaching your younglings? Or worse, thrown from the Order because of it?

“I’m fine, Obi-Wan,” you lied, trying to convince him with a smile. “I do need to go. I am going to be late.”

You rushed off, ignoring your joints screaming in pain as you headed for your training room. You sighed in relief once you were there and it was clear that Obi-Wan hadn’t followed you. Though your body needed a moment's rest, you needed to set up the room for your lesson.

~~~

Obi-Wan watched with concern as you rushed away from him. He could tell that you were in pain, just by the way your body was moving. For months, Obi-Wan had been able to sense that you had been keeping something from him. It pained him to know that you felt the need to do so, as the two of you had always confided in each other since your days as younglings. The two of you had always sought each other out when you needed, but for some reason this was different. If you were in pain—if you were sick—he believed he had the right to know. You going through anything alone wasn’t an option for him.

Obi-Wan knew that you were a fighter, it was one of the reasons he fell in love with you. His love was the secret he was keeping from you—wisely, he believed. You were a strong and wise Jedi, someone many looked up to. Every youngling you taught ended up loving you, though you were strict and yet fun. You knew the importance of hard work though had a balance of play as well. Another reason Obi-Wan loved you.

You were a Jedi that was looked upon with great pride and even envy. Obi-Wan believed that you would never break the Code for him. That is why he was content to just be your friend—close friend, albeit—but a friend nonetheless. So this secret you were keeping from him was not sitting well with him. Not at all.

Once he was sure you were in the training room, readying it to teach your younglings a lesson, Obi-Wan went in search of his former Padawan. You and Anakin had bonded as Obi-Wan trained the boy. You were more of a mother figure to Anakin and the two of you could be found together often when you were both free. Obi-Wan found Anakin talking to Ahsoka in the hangar as the two of them looked over one of Anakin’s ships.

“Master Kenobi!” Ahsoka greeted.

“Hello, Ahsoka,” Obi-Wan responded with a nod. He turned to her Master. “Anakin.”

“Obi-Wan,” Anakin said with a smile as he wiped some oil off of his hands. “What brings you down here?”

“It’s about Y/N.”

Anakin immediately straightened with worry. “What is it? Is she okay? What’s wrong?”

“I am afraid I don’t know. I was hoping you did. Have you noticed anything different about her lately?”

Anakin took a few seconds to think over Obi-Wan’s question before responding. “Well, Y/N hasn’t been willing to spare with me like she used to. She always comes up with excuses.”

“She does the same with me,” Ahsoka added. You had taken her under your wing as soon as she became Anakin’s Padawan. You knew she needed a strong female influence in her life. “Now that I think of it, I haven’t spared with her in months.”

“Same. I have also noticed that sometimes when I touch her, she winces or tenses.” Obi-Wan nodded, having noticed the same things himself. “Do you think she’s sick?”

“I do not know,” Obi-Wan replied honestly.

“Have you tried looking up her medical records?” Ahsoka suggested. “You are a member of the Jedi Council, you do have access to them.”

“I could not break her trust like that.”

“Yet, you could ask us if we knew anything?” Anakin asked, in a slightly teasing tone.

“This is different, Anakin.” Obi-Wan sighed, running a hand down his face. His hand stopped, stroking his beard. “I am worried.”

“I’m sure Snips doesn’t mind trying to pry information out of her with me.”

“No, no,” Obi-Wan shook his head, “there’s no need for that. I will figure this out on my own.”

~~~

Teaching had worn you out. There were a few younglings that were still struggling with the ways of the Jedi Order and decided to wreak havoc today. The actions of the younglings forced you to stop your lessons and call in another Master to help you deal with the problem. Once the problem had been dealt it, you were not feeling up to teaching anymore and it was getting late anyway. You let your younglings go, telling them to meet at the same time and place the next day, before slowly making the trek up to your room.

Every joint in your body was screaming at you and begging for you to just lay down in the middle of the Temple corridors. When you reached the hallway where your room resided, you were practically using the wall to stand.

“Y/N?” Obi-Wan called, coming up from behind.

“Kriff,” you muttered under your breath.

Before you knew it, the man was at your side. “Are you alright? You don’t look so well.”

“I’m fine, Obi-Wan. Just tired. It was a long day of teaching.”

“Are you sure? You seem to be barely able to—“

“I just need rest. I’ll be fine in the morning.” You went to continue to your room but Obi-Wan moved to stand firmly in front of you.

“I do not believe you. Something is wrong. Why aren’t you willing to tell me what it is?”

“I’m not—“

“Stop lying to me. We’ve known each other for the majority of our lives. I know when you are keeping a secret from me.”

You bit your bottom lip briefly as you tried to reign in your quickly overwhelming emotions. “I’m handling it.”

“You don’t have to handle it on your own though. I’m here… or there’s Anakin and Ahsoka. Just, please, talk to someone—if not me—about what you are going through. I am worried, and I know that I am not the only one. Please, Y/N—“ He went to take your hand but you flinched away like he had hurt you. His eyes grew sadder if that was even possible. “Did someone hurt you?”

“No,” you shook your head, immediately regretting the movement.

“Because if someone hurt you, I will not stand for it. Tell me who—“

“No one hurt me, Obi-Wan. It’s not that.”

“Then are you…” He paused, swallowing. “My dear, are you sick?”

You looked away, unable to meet his gaze. “Please, Obi-Wan, drop it.”

“Not when you are clearly struggling. Let me help you.”

“You can’t.” You finally looked at him with watery eyes. “No one can.”

Then, while Obi-Wan processed what you had said, you hurried to your room. The door slid shut behind you before you quickly locked it and leaned back against it. You began to cry as you slid down to the floor. Obi-Wan had pulled himself from his thoughts too late but had moved to stand at your closed door. He could hear your muffled cries behind the door and longed to hold you and help you. But Obi-Wan knew that he truly could not help you if you would not let him in—to both your room and the secret.

~~~

You woke up in the morning, having fallen asleep on the floor near your door. The position did not help your pain, only worsening it. You whimpered as you shakily tried standing. You were forced to use the door as a steady place to lean on as you slowly stood up straight. Breathing heavily, you leaned against the door with your eyes closed. You tried to use the Force to help control your pain as the Healers had taught you, but your brain was too scattered to focus properly.

It took you too long to get yourself to the refresher, then even longer to actually freshen up for the day. You tried to control your pain and trembling as you made your way down to the training room, where your younglings were already waiting. As you started your lesson, you could tell that the younglings were concerned about you. Your speech was slow, your body was shaking, and your face kept contorting in pain with even the slightest movement.

After about an hour and a half of teaching, your heart felt like it could beat out of your chest. Your hand came up to brace yourself against the column as black spots started in your vision.

“Master Y/N!” A youngling exclaimed. “Are you alright?”

“Jaki,” you breathlessly panted, “go get Master Kenobi… now please.”

The youngling, Jaki, rushed out of the training room just as you had fainted.

~~~

Obi-Wan was dressed in his armor as he listened to the latest briefing about the war. He and Anakin were the only ones physically in the war room while a few of the Jedi Council joined via hologram. Obi-Wan had his hand on his beard as he tried to listen to what his fellow Council members were saying, but his thoughts kept coming back to you. He was broken out of his trace when the war room door slid open and a youngling rushed in.

“Master Kenobi! Master Kenobi!” The youngling shouted. Anakin and Obi-Wan spun around to face the youngling at the frantic tone of their voice.

“Jaki?” Obi-Wan questioned, recognizing the youngling as one of yours. “What is the matter?”

“It’s Master Y/N! There’s something wrong!”

The youngling didn’t get to say anything else before Obi-Wan was running out of the room and down the halls toward where he knew you to be. When he arrived in the training room, your other younglings were surrounding you, trying to wake you. Obi-Wan was quickly at your side.

“What happened?” He asked the younglings, eyes never leaving you for a second.

“We don’t know,” a youngling responded. “Master Y/N seemed to be in pain all day and then all of a sudden she told Jaki to get you and she collapsed. We haven’t been able to wake her.”

“Master Kenobi,” another youngling called. “Will she be alright?”

Oh, how Obi-Wan wished he could answer the youngling’s question. But he didn't know the answer himself. While he knelt beside you, not knowing what to do, Anakin arrived with Jaki.

“What’s happening?” Anakin asked as he came over. “What’s wrong?”

“I—I don’t know,” Obi-Wan stammered.

Anakin could tell how worried and frazzled his Master was becoming. “Obi-Wan, we need to get her to the Healers.”

“Right,” Obi-Wan gave a single nod before his arms went under you. He lifted you into his chest as he stood.

“I’ll take care of the younglings and join you when I can.”

At any other moment, Obi-Wan would have teased Anakin for saying that he’d stay with the younglings, but you were currently laying unconscious in his arms for some unknown reason. Obi-Wan barely muttered a thank you before racing out of the room and toward medical. Once he had arrived, everything quickly became a blur.

Despite his protests, you were ripped from Obi-Wan’s arms and taken away by the Healers. He had tried to follow after you but was stopped by a few Healers and medical droids. Though he could easily get through them, he heard the doors lock that would allow him into the room you were in and he knew it was pointless. He needed to let the Healers and droids do their jobs without getting in the way, no matter how much it pained him.

Obi-Wan found a seat near the doors, though he never sat down for too long. He found himself pacing, which is exactly what he was doing when Anakin and Ahsoka joined him after dealing with the younglings.

“Any news?” Ahsoka asked though she knew the answer already by how Obi-Wan was acting.

Obi-Wan shook his head. “Nothing,” he answered quietly. “They haven’t been out of the room at all.”

“She’ll be fine,” Anakin said, more for his own comfort than anything. “She’s a fighter.”

Obi-Wan stayed silent, though nodding along to Anakin’s words. He was fearing the worst. That maybe you wouldn’t survive. Obi-Wan didn’t know what he would do if that was the case. He had lived with you by his side for so long, that knowing anything different seemed next to impossible.

~~~

It was too long for anyone’s liking before a Healer had exited the room they had rushed you into. Anakin, Ahsoka, and Obi-Wan were quickly standing and giving the Healer their full attention.

“How is she?” Obi-Wan asked nervously. He hadn’t felt your loss in the Force, but that didn’t mean you were okay.

“Master Y/N will survive,” the Healer answered. The choice of words was unsettling to the group. “Master Kenobi, as a member of the Jedi Council, may I speak to you alone?”

Obi-Wan glanced at Anakin and Ahsoka. Ahsoka nodded, having to drag Anakin out so that Obi-Wan and the Healer were alone.

“Master Kenobi, I want to be clear that when Master Y/N was first diagnosed that she specifically asked for her condition to be kept a secret, despite our advice,” the Healer carefully stated. “Now though, as the Healer over her, I feel the need to tell you what is going on with your friend.”

“What diagnosis?” Obi-Wan questioned.

The Healer sighed. “It was almost eight months ago when Master Y/N arrived feeling pain in various joints. We gave her something for it and sent her on her way, thinking that it would simply go away with time. A few weeks later, she was back in here with worse pain than before and in even more joints. After running more tests, it was determined that Y/N has a rare joint disease. It is not something we know a lot about. There is no real cure or treatment for it.”

“Will she—“ Obi-Wan had to stop himself from finishing his thought for a moment. “Will this kill her?”

“It might, eventually.” Obi-Wan took a deep inhale as his hand went up to cover his mouth. “But we will cross that bridge when it nears.”

“What happened today?”

“Y/N’s body couldn’t handle the pain and decided it needed to do something about it. This is the first time this has happened, and I wouldn’t be shocked if it’s not the last.”

“There has to be something—anything you can do for her.”

“We are doing our best to find a treatment. Y/N has been taught ways to handle the pain by using the Force. We do understand that it is not a long-term solution or that it might not work every time, but it’s what we can do right now.” Obi-Wan shook his head. “I know that you believe it is not enough, trust me, I agree. Y/N is a fighter though, I know she won’t give up.”

“That’s part of my fear,” Obi-Wan mumbled.

“When Y/N wakes, I will tell her that I told you and that the Jedi Council will be informed of her condition. I recommend that she stay out of anything that has to do with the war efforts. She may continue to teach, but staying close to the Temple would be the best option for her.”

Obi-Wan nodded. “I agree… may I stay beside her until she wakes?”

“Unfortunately, the droids are doing one last round of some pain remedy and no one else is allowed in there while they work. I will get you as soon as you can come in.”

~~~

You were frustrated—mainly at your body—when you woke. The Healer over your case informed you about what had happened and the steps you needed to take going forward. You were unhappy about Obi-Wan and the Council knowing, more so that you couldn’t tell them yourself, but you understood the need for it. You were still in pain and exhausted when Obi-Wan was allowed to enter the room. Despite his stern expression, you knew that you had worried him. His expression was only because you hadn’t told him about your condition.

“How are you feeling?” Obi-Wan asked, keeping his distance from you.

“Exhausted…” you responded honestly. “In pain.”

He scoffed, shaking his head. “You should have told me. The moment you found out, you should have come to me.”

“I know.”

“I thought that we were closer than this.”

“We are.”

“Then why keep this from me? This is not some childish secret, this is your life we’re talking about. Your health!”

Tears formed in your eyes. “I know, Obi-Wan. And I am sorry. Though I know that there are not enough apologies in the world to make up for what I did, please just listen to me… I was scared. Scared that the Council would kick me out of the Order. Scared of what this disease would do to me and my ability to be a Jedi… But I was more scared that this would change your opinion of me.”

“Do you really think that little of me?”

“No… I think the world of you… that’s the problem.”

Slowly, Obi-Wan came up to stand beside your bed, closer to your feet than you would like.

“You mean the world to me,” Obi-Wan whispered. “I have been so worried and then when Jaki came rushing in saying something was wrong I— I thought the worse and then to see you laying there… it had all became a reality.”

“I’m so sorry, Obi-Wan,” you said quietly and tearfully. “I really am.”

“I can’t do that again.”

Your heart dropped. This was it. He was ending your friendship because of your disease. The great Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi couldn’t handle it. He couldn’t handle you.

“I can’t do the fear of the unknown like that again,” Obi-Wan continued. “And I can’t stand by and watch you suffer.”

“I… I understand,” you whispered.

“No, I don’t believe you do. What I am saying is that I can’t handle the secrecy. I need to know when you are in pain. I need to know what’s going on with you and how I can help you. I know that this will be a long and painful and unknown road, but I will not allow you to go through it on your own. Not anymore.”

“Obi-Wan—“

“I love you, Y/N. And I know it is against the code, but I feel that you need to know that.”

“Oh, my…”

“I understand if you cannot reciprocate it. I can handle it and it will not stop me from helping you through this.”

“Obi-Wan,” your hand gently took his, “I love you, too. I have for a long time.”

He broke out into a smile. “Really?”

“Really.” You copied his smile.

Obi-Wan leaned down and kissed you gently, careful as to not touch you much due to your pain. When you parted, he sat facing you on the bed.

“No more secrets,” he told you. “That’s an order.”

“Yes, General,” you teased. “Whatever you say.”

His Beautiful Green Eyes | F. Odair

Summary: The day that all the children of Panem fear is approaching and the only way not to sink into a hole of worry is to look into his beautiful green eyes.

Tw: Young love (No relationship, just falling in love), brief mention of trauma, use of nickname "flower", no use of y/n.

A/n: First of all, my first language is not English, so if I make any spelling mistakes I would appreciate if you could help me correct them <3. And, although it is not that important, you would help me a lot by liking, following and reblogging me ^^.

Sometimes such a happy moment can have such a sad context. Something as beautiful as a hug between two young people who love each other can have so much history behind it. The tears in the girl's eyes can contain such heartbreaking fear. And the way the boy's body shakes may contain such a tragic future.

They are just two 14-year-old children scared by what can happen, by what can come towards them, by the future they do not want and by the darkness that exists in their destinies.

It's just two children holding each other before letting go and moving into the arms of the other family members.

You see, Finnick's family and your family always decide to prevent quick goodbyes. No one knows who will be called the next day, no one knows who will be called directly to death. For this reason, the two families - or even, thanks to how much they love each other despite not having the same last name, a single family - the day before the reaping meet at a small party, enjoy meals from the 4th, dances, of songs that only they understand, of happiness that only they share.

And at the moment when the party must end and everyone must face reality, the warm and strong hugs of each member of the family feel like a shield. A shield against the future.

Each hug is comforting, but his hug is simply magical. It is a hug that says more than a simple "good luck", it is a hug that shows affection, love, fear, sadness, trepidation, warmth, comfort...

"What if... What if tomorrow one of our names is called Finn?" You cried, resting your head on his shoulder. It was not the perfect time to cry, the two families were around the two little ones observing their actions with teary eyes.

"Everything is going to be fine. We've been fine the other two years and we have few papers, there are thousands of other kids here..." Finnick started rubbing his hand against your back. He remained strong, comforting you. Perl you felt his body shake against yours, his voice a little rough, trying to keep it from breaking, and his eyebrows furrowed, avoiding crying.

"Come on, tomorrow is a difficult day, you better rest" Your mother said, wiping away some tears that had slipped down her cheek.

"Rose, can I stay here?" Finnick pleaded with your mother, "I swear I won't kick her daughter out of her bed this time." That's a funny anecdote, one that you hoped was just one of many others that you two deserved to have.

"It's okay Finnick. But tomorrow you have to get up early to get ready."

"Yes ma'am" Finnick stood firm, even at a time like this he never stops doing the hardest things that come into his head.

"Finn, follow me, I'm going to show you something" you ran towards the stairs, heading towards your room. "Look what I drew."

You were a good drawer. Plus, drawing always helped you fight stress. On days like this there were few moments when you didn't have a pencil in your hand.

You showed Finnick a drawing, a beautiful drawing of the moon. The moon was so beautiful, a simple satellite that can cause such beautiful landscapes. A landscape so beautiful that even on dark nights it is there to give you a touch of light. The moon made you wish that that night would last forever and the reaping day would never come.

"It's beautiful, flower. I envy your talent." He pouted as he threw himself against your bed. "How can you draw that in such a short time?

"It's just practice and patience Finn, maybe if one day you learn to sit still without having to start moving like a small trapped dog, and just maybe, you could draw" you lay down next to him, facing each other.

"I'm not that restless"

"Yes Yes you are"

"Yes, yes I am. But you love me that way so...it doesn't matter."

You let out a small nasal rose. You couldn't keep a small smile off your face. For a few seconds the hunger games didn't matter, only him and his beautiful eyes mattered.

Those green eyes. They were so deep, if you analyzed them well they had different tones, mostly greenish, but there were also some turquoise and blue. His eyes looked at you with so much happiness, with affection and love, perhaps not the love with which you saw him, but there was love.

“Games should disappear forever,” you said, not looking away, just a simple comment that had reached your brain.

"Oh good idea, let me call the president and tell him that the games should be canceled because a girl in district 4 said so."

"You're too stupid, Finnick, you should graduate as a clown, you idiot."

"Ouch, when did we get so aggressive flower?"

"I hate you" Lie. And he knew it was a lie, everyone knew it. He knew it because at this point it is impossible for you to hate him, but he also knew it because after telling him you hugged him, as if your words were never said.

"Awwww, that's the nicest thing you've said to me in the last year" Lie. And you knew that was a lie because there wasn't a day that you weren't stuck to him like gum.

"Finn...what if we can never do this again?" You looked up a little to see his eyes again.

"What's the point of thinking about that? Maybe we're worrying about anything, flower. Let's just enjoy the moment." Of course, worrying about nothing, nothing will happen to you two.

"Enjoy the moment...nope, that's impossible when the moment is with someone like you"

"Oh shut up!" He said, turning his back and covering himself with the blanket, feigning anger. "I'm going to sleep, good night."

"You're sensitive, let's keep talking, maybe it's our last night together and we won't enjoy the moment" and once again you hugged him with a smile on your face, forcing him to turn his face and your eyes meet his eyes again. His beautiful green eyes.

"We shouldn't have stayed up all night talking, I told you," Finnick said walking next to you. They had spent the rest of the night joking and hugging. That was incredible, but it had consequences; Now they were both half asleep walking towards the reaping site, the moment was getting closer and the only thing your teenage mind thought about was how handsome your friend looked in his semi-formal clothes.

"Whatever, when we get home we can sleep. Should we go to your house or mine?"

"My mom is going to prepare the fish that my dad caught yesterday, she will probably invite your family" Finnick paused for a moment. They had already arrived at the place and the accumulation of children was enormous, their parents were a few meters behind, they were about to enter the family area.

"Ok, see you there then"

"Yeah...well, I guess we just have to have good luck."

"May the odds always be on your side Finn" You laughed at the stupid phrase from the capitol, it was time to separate from your friend, each of you should go to his area.

He just looked at you with a smile, with his eyes a little red and extended his arms towards you inviting you to say goodbye properly.

You obviously headed straight into his arms, hugging him with more affection than you could explain. "Good luck Finn. Today I want to eat fish with you, not without you" you slowly separated from the hug trying to keep the tears from your eyes.

"That's how it will be flower. See you"

"See you"

Each one went to their respective area. From your place you couldn't locate Finnick, but you knew that he would be close to you thanks to being the same age as you, only on the other side, in the men's section.

"Welcome, welcome" said the girl from the capitol, full of exaggerated makeup and once extravagant timing. "Welcome to the reaping of the 65th hunger games!" She shuts up and gets to the point.

After an introductory talk and the same video as every fucking year, the time came. It made you want to vomit and suddenly dizzy. Your body shook and your eyes began to blur. You just wanted to get out of there, meet Finnick and eat fish.

"As always, girls first," the nausea was horrible, you just wanted me to digest the name and it was that of some random girl from the district. And maybe thanks to the probabilities, or maybe thanks to the universe, that's how it was. "Adella Humbort!" Unfortunately you knew her, she was two years older than you and you bought her clothes at the town market. But you were grateful with all your soul that your name had not been called.

You moved around, looking for Finnick, you wanted to show him that you were still there and not standing on the stage. When you managed to move to the edge of the area, you saw him. He was also moving to the limit to be able to see you, he smiled at you, those smiles that if they managed to kill you would probably already be in your fourth life. His marked dimples, his illuminated eyes and his radiant teeth. You smiled back, you were still nervous but at least not as much as before. You didn't hear what the escort asked Adella, but it was probably the same thing as always, her age and some silly compliments.

"And now, for the boys..."

You looked back at the stage, your nausea had gone but your shaking body persisted. The escort took out a paper and cleared her throat. You knew everything would be okay, there was nothing to worry about. This would end and they would have a family mea-

"Finnick Odair!"

The world fell apart. It was simply unfair. Your tasting went directly towards him, Finnick did not take his eyes off the stage, in complete shock. When his head finally turned towards you you couldn't hold back your tears. No one offered as tribute. Nobody.

Watching Finnick walk towards the stage was horrible. You couldn't do anything, you wish you could but you couldn't. You saw Finnick's mother in the distance crying in your mother's arms. Your father had his arm on Finnick's father's shoulder trying to give him silent support.

That day you knew that nothing would be the same. That the odds were not on your side and that the future will not be the way you wanted it.

So it was. Finnick won the games but nothing was the same. Those beautiful green eyes that gave you so much comfort and support were now the eyes of a poor traumatized child. You noticed it as soon as you saw him win, but when he came home it was much more noticeable.

Nothing was ever the same again, Finnick tried to be strong but the nights of teasing ceased to exist, now they were just nights trying to calm him down after a nightmare. The parties before reaping day were changed by Finnick having to meet up with the other mentors. His beautiful green eyes were changed by one more eyes... empty, alone, with many thoughts and at first it seemed that none of them were positive.

The odds are never in our favor.

~~~~~~

Hey! How are you? I actually don't know what I did, but I didn't want to do the typical thing that I always imagine, I wanted to do something that is not normally a theme seen in fics. I hope you like it beautiful people <3

Finnick didn't have the odds on his side, and that makes me angry! 😀🔪

MASSIVE UNPOPULAR OPINION AHEAD

Could the next book be Elriel? YES! Could the next book be Elucien? I don’t lean towards this theory, but I will not deny the reasons why people might think otherwise.

Will the next book be Gwynriel? No.

There’s not going to be a Gwynriel book. There never was. The Gwynriel book makes no sense within the narrative, deviates heavily from the clear structure of the ACOTAR series, and has no real ties to the main plot. Gwyn and Az going to the Autumn Court because Rhys, who has never met Gwyn and has no reason to trust her as Nesta’s friend given the fact he hardly trusts Nesta herself, is a stretch. The Autumn Court is a subplot clearly intended for Eris or Lucien to handle.

Reforming Illyria? That’s for Emorie. And no, I will not take any other opinions on this. She is the ONLY character suited for this plot. And if SJM decides to write otherwise... well, I won’t be reading that.

The next book is very clearly going to either be Elucuien or Elriel. Period.

SJM isn’t GRRM. And ACOTAR isn’t a complex story filled with subversions. It’s a romantasy. The romantic pairing isn’t meant to surprise us or subvert our expectations. It’s literally, as the author said, meant to be obvious.

And it is.

Elain will be choosing her fate, her love interest, her path forward. If she chooses Azriel then we will get Lucien’s story afterwards. If Elain chooses Lucien? Then we get Vassa’s story with her love interest for the last book. The decision and choice lies within the women. SJM has never pitted two women against one another for a man and I do not expect her to do so now.

“Oh, but TOD!”

Yes, Tower of Dawn is from Chaol’s POV... but it’s also from Nesryn’s and Yrene’s and Sartaq’s POVs. Does SJM write male POVs? Yes! Is that formula the same for ACOTAR? No. It’s one couple per book, and an entirely different series besides. The men get a POV, but only as a secondary character.

Does this mean Gwyn and Az wont get together?

No, not necessarily. Gwyn and Az could totally get together but, due to their limited connection to Koschei and the 4th dread trove, it’d be a relationship that happens off stage. In the background of another couple. With no Az or Gwyn POV.

Gywn is a lovely, amazing, and strong character who had a very fulfilling arc in ACOSF. Does she have a few unanswered plot points? Sure! But her heritage is not connected to Koschei. Her (potential) powers are not connected to Koschei. She does not know the members of the IC outside of Nesta. She has no established relationship with Feysand. She has not (yet) left the Library. And, outside of the theories generated by members of this fandom based on their own literary interpretation of the Bonus Chapter, doesn’t have a formally established connection to Azriel (yet.)

Could she? Of course.

But I trust SJM enough to think she’d never write Gwyn’s story leaving the Library solely for a man. If Gwyn leaves the Library, it should be for herself. No one else. Never for anyone else. Gwyn is powerful within her own right and I want to see her make the decision to leave the Library FOR HERSELF.

Could SJM decide to go this route? Sure! I’m not the author and it’s her story at the end of the day.

But if she does choose to pursue this route.... is this not exact same plot we just had in ACOSF?

FMC feeling unworthy and dealing with trauma, MMC dealing with potential rejection and an undressed connection, training with sword and shield to overcome self doubt, proving oneself in battle and realizing they’re worthy of love, handling changes in one’s life and finding one’s place?

ACOSF was great and I LOVED Nesta’s story. But does that mean I want to read the same thing again? No. Elriel and Elucien offer a different story from what we just read. It’s either a enemies to lovers/hesitant pairing to lovers. Or a forbidden love story. And that’s what I want. Something new. I’m tired of training. I’m tried of HoW. I’m tired of Koschei, this apparent death god, being sidelined. I want the impending war. I want the political fallout. I want inner-court drama. I want unrest in Prythian.

NOTE: Obviously everyone is entitled to their opinion, and this post by no means strives to discount or dissuade individuals with other opinions but is more or less a rambling of my own ideas. Civilized discourse with those of differing opinion is always welcomed. Literature is art and art is subjective.

idk do with this what you will.

#this is obviously my opinion #if you disagree lets hear it #or meet me behind your local Denny's #pro elriel #elriel #elain archeron #acotar theory #azriel x elain #elain x azriel #anti gw/ynriel

How to Make Grian in DnD

Welcome to my first guide on making Life SMP members into DnD 5e characters!

I’ll go level by level and explain the reasoning behind my decisions and how I think it fits them in character. This build assumes starting at level 8 but includes notes on differences if you start at level 1 and progress to 8. Keep in mind that this isn’t intended as a guide on how to play dnd, just how to build this character. I also don't explain every feature but I may briefly touch on it and explain my reasoning for taking it.

Class: Fighter 6 (Eldritch Knight)/Cleric 2 (War Domain)

Race: Aarakocra* (can be humanised)

Base Ability Scores: (uses Tasha's Cauldron of Everything rule that allows for reallocating racial stat bonuses)

Str 10 (+0)

Dex 15 (+2) +2 from race = 17 (+3)

Con 13 (+1) +1 from race = 14 (+2)

Int 10 (+0)

Wis 13 (+1)

Cha 12 (+1)

Background: Courtier

Grian is a well-rounded character with no clear weaknesses but a couple of fields he excels at. He’s good at almost all aspects of the game whether it be combat, social interactions or even just survival. I gave him the Fighter/Cleric multiclass because I felt like it would be an interesting build and made him a dexterity-based fighter because Aarakocra cant fly with any armour other than light armour.

Before moving on to classes, let’s go over the race and background features.

Aarakocra race*:

Flight**: Flying speed equal to walk speed, only works with light or no armour.

Talons: Your unarmed attacks do more damage. Not super good because this is a dex build.

Wind Caller: At lvl 3 you can cast Gust of Wind. A cool spell, find some fun situations to use it in.

*The Aarakocra version used here is the nerfed version from “Mordekainnen Presents: Monsters of the Multiverse”.

**If having a flying speed is a problem, a compromise I usually default to is only letting flying speed let you move vertically during your turn, but you cannot end your turn in mid-air or you fall.

Courtier background:

Skill Proficiencies: Insight, Persuasion

Court Functionary: You are good at hearing things about important people, as you are one of them. Perfect for if you want to start wars.

At 1st lvl, we start with a level in Fighter. This grants us:

Proficiency in heavy, medium, and light armour, shields

Proficiency in simple and martial weapons

Proficiency in Strength and Constitution saving throws.

Skill Proficiencies: Take Survival and Athletics.

Fighting Style: Choose Duelling if you want to use a sword mostly. Archery is fine too if you want to use a bow.

Second Wind: Bonus action healing. Nice to have.

As a dex build, Grian will be using light armour and finesse or ranged weapons mostly. Ideal weapon would be a rapier and a longbow. The Courtier background involves knowing what’s happening amongst a group of interest, much like how Grian is involved with many major Minecrafters

At 2nd lvl, we take a second level in Fighter, which grants us:

Action Surge: Have a second action in one round once per short rest. Good early for having another attack and scales very well.

At 3rd lvl, we take a third level in Fighter, which grants us:

Subclass: Eldritch Knight

Eldritch Knight grants:

Weapon Bond: Find a shiny weapon? It’s yours now and no one else can have it!

Two Cantrips: Mage Hand (lots of trickery you can do with this) and Blade Ward (in case taking damage is inevitable)

Three 1st lvl spells: Magic Missile (just in case), Shield (good defensive spell) and Fog Cloud (cause lots of chaos and confusion)

As Grian’s Intelligence stat hasn’t been prioritised, I chose spells that don’t involve any rolls so that it’s not really a problem. He’ll get more chaotic use out of the cleric spells that we get later.

At 4th lvl, we take a fourth level in Fighter, which grants us:

Ability Score Improvement OR Feat. Take the Ability Score Improvement and +1 your Dex up to 18 (+4) and your Wisdom up to 14 (+2).

One more spell: Take Tenser’s Floating disk (Take people’s doors and stack them on the disk and then run away without being weighed down)

The dex is always important, improves your stealth so you’re less likely to be caught placing tnt and the wisdom helps your perception but more importantly helps after becoming a cleric.

At 5th lvl, we take a fifth level in Fighter, which grants us:

Extra Attack: More damage output!

With this fifth level in Fighter, we hit the important damage power spike. Now we can get to the more chaotic side of Grian.

At 6th lvl, we multiclass into Cleric, which grants us:

Three Cantrips: Take Guidance (good spell), Thaumaturgy (fun spell) and Spare the Dying (mainly for Scar)

1st lvl spells: As a prepared caster, Clerics can swap out their spells after a long rest. My suggested default spells are: Bless, Sanctuary and Ceremony (get that marriage buff).

Subclass: War Domain

War Domain grants:

Extra Prepared Spells: Divine Favor and Shield of Faith

Bonus Proficiencies: Martial Weapons and Heavy Armour. Both redundant because we started Fighter.

War Priest: Another attack as a bonus action with number of uses scaling with Wisdom. Goes well with being a fighter.

Ready to start a war? Cleric and this subclass especially makes Grian extra ready to start a war and fight his way to victory. As a Cleric, Grian of course worships the mighty Boatem Pole!

At 7th lvl, we take a second level in Cleric, which grants us:

Channel Divinity: Turn Undead. Good for all the zombies and skeletons that keep spawning around you.

Channel Divinity: Guided Strike. Give yourself a +10 to an attack roll once per long rest. Really good if you just desperately need to land a hit.

One more prepared spell: Command (Need a war started? Just point at a button and tell someone else to “Press”!)

At 8th lvl, we take a sixth level in Fighter, which grants us:

Ability Score Improvement OR Feat: Take the ASI to bring your dex from 18 (+4) to 20 (+5)

Maxed out dex is good. Alternatively, you could bump your wisdom up to 16 instead if you want stronger spells.

Summary:

Final stats:

Str 10 (+0)

Dex 20 (+5)

Con 14 (+2)

Int 10 (+0)

Wis 14 (+2)

Cha 12 (+1)

Two Attacks as an action, a third as a bonus action (limited uses)

Rapier (if Duelling was chosen): +5 (dex) +3 (prof. bonus) = +8 to hit. 1d8 + 5 (dex) + 2 (duelling) piercing dmg.

Longbow (if Archery was chosen): +5 (dex) +3 (prof. bonus) +2 (archery) = +10 to hit. 1d8 + 5 piercing.

And that’s it for Grian! I hope this build captures the chaotic nature of Grian while also maintaining his prowess a just about everything. If you have any feedback or questions, I’d love to read them! ^^

Next will be Scar!

My Unorganized Thoughts About Pokémon Scarlet and Violet DLC: Part 1

Yes this is going to be a series. I'll be covering the Teal Mask, the Indigo Disk, and Mochi Mayhem

For now I'm covering the Teal Mask!

Overall, I enjoyed it a lot!

I loved how three dimensional the characters were, I liked the interactions with Ogerpon and the Player, and I adored the whole role-reversal with Ogerpon and the Loyal 3!!! The mini games were also a blast to do! (Even if one was Pokémon Snap XD)

THE LOYAL 3

The Loyal 3 are my new favorite group of legendary Pokémon (Sorry Hoenn Trio but you've been replaced)

I love their designs, their lore, them being villains and greedy little bastards. I also like how they can still be called the Loyal 3 because of the 4th member... but that's a discussion for Mochi Mayhem.

Also their designs are PEAK

My mischievous sons I love them

Just everything about them is top tier to me (except their shinies but that's to be expected... sigh)

KIERAN

KIERAN KIERAN KIERAN KIERAN KIERAN KIERAN KIERAN KIERAN KIERAN KIERAN KIERAN KIERAN KIERAN MY BOYYYYYYY

I absolutely LOVE his whole arc and him being teased as a villain in the Teal Mask, like I was hoping for something like that with Hop in Sword and Shield and they fucking delivered it with Kieran.

I appreciate how they didn't make the characters (especially Kieran and Carmine) one dimensional. They're complex, they have issues, they're both at fault, and that's why I love them so much!!!

Only downside is WHY were we forced to lie to him KIERAN IM SORRY

Also love how his eyes just change and lose their shine when he's angry, that's a fun and cool and a bit spooky detail

Also his design is peak and it's just AJSJDJFJDJDJDJDJKFKK

(Side note: Is the strange purple mist that is seen when Kieran punches the shrine ever going to be addressed? At all???)

THE MOOSIC

They're all bangers, what can I say. If it's one thing that Pokémon nails every time, it's the music. Props to them.

My favorites are probably Kieran's final battle theme and the Loyal 3 theme.

BLOODMOON URSALUNA

SUCH A FREAKING COOL CONCEPT AND DESIGN

It makes me wonder if we'll ever seen other Bloodmoon Pokémon, as well as what caused this one to be this way? Is it an evolution thing? Is it a curse?

Love that design, I would spend every penny to have a plush of it

SUMMARY

Plot: 9.5/10

Characters: 10/10

Music: 10/10

Pokémon Lore: 1000/10

Overall: 9.5/10

(The 0.5 is the still unexplained purple mist that my brain won't ever shut up about)

Forced To Believe Chapter 60- Annihilated

Chapter Summary: With The Shield taken out, Morgan is at a huge disadvantage against Rosa with Evolution backing her up. Evolution makes good on their promise to take out Morgan.

Words: 4,000+

------

"This is not good," Cole said. "The Shield was just taken out by Evolution. And who knows what Rosa is up to now."

"Aw, are you going to cry? Are you upset that your little boys are hurt?" Rosa smirked at the troubled Outspoken diva.

She had a huge disadvantage on her back now. Her boys were not going to be there to back her up if there was any funny business going on with Evolution.

"Cry Morgan! I want to see you cry! Cry like the little baby you are! Cry like the-" Rosa grunted as Morgan speared her out of the ring, earning cheers from the crowd.

"Here we go! Woo hoo!" King grinned as Morgan continued assaulting her.

"Morgan is frustrated and is taking it all out on Rosa," Cole looked on.

Rosa manages to kick her off and roll back into the ring.

"I wasn't ready! I wasn't ready!" She shouted.

Morgan gets on the top rope, about to do a crossbody but Rosa manages to push on the ropes, making her fall on her neck as the crowd 'Ohs'.

"Oh my God, is she okay?!" Cole asked as Morgan held her neck and yelled out in pain.

"Well, things escalated quickly," JBL looked on.

"Morgan, are you okay?" The ref checked on her.

Morgan grunted. "I'm fine..." She managed to get up but Rosa jumped on her and began targeting her neck.

Fans tweet:

'That did not look good. At all.'

'That was scary.'

'Did you see the way her neck hit the mat!?'

'Why is she still going on in this match? She could have broken something. Please be careful Morgan.'

"I hope her neck is okay. Gosh, we need to see that again." King said as the titantron showed Morgan's fall a couple of times.

Rosa gets a chair from ringside and places it in the middle of the ring.

"Rosa with the chair for a swinging neckbreaker!" Cole exclaimed as she did the move. "I think Rosa is trying to end this early before The Shield manages to get up."

Rosa goes for the pin but gets a two count.

"Come on!" she shouted at the ref.

She picks Morgan up to hit her with a head slam.

"How's your neck!?" She stomped on her neck, earning a groan from the Philly native.

Morgan clenches her neck again while Rosa rolls out of the ring, to search for a weapon under the ring.

"Oh boy!" Cole said as the crowd erupted in cheers.

Rosa takes out a ladder and sets it in the middle of the ring.

"But this isn't a ladder match!" King exclaimed.

"Too bad, it's all legal," JBL said.

"But I don't want to see these ladies hurt each other like this."

Rosa begins climbing on top of it, planning to do a diving move on a laid out Morgan. But then she manages to get up and starts climbing the ladder.

"I'll catch you if you fall ladies!" King warned.

Morgan starts hitting Rosa with punches on top of the ladder and manages to hit her with a sunset flip off the ladder, making the crowd react positively again and chant 'Holy shit'.

"Cover her! Cover her Morgan!" JBL shouted as both divas were hurt.

Both women stumble to their feet, and Morgan starts hitting Rosa with a few clotheslines, continuing to fight through the pain before throwing her to the corner.

"Uh oh, we know what's coming!" JBL added.

She connects with the handspring back elbow smash to Rosa. She slides down to her knees while Morgan makes her stand up. Rosa hits her with a hard knee to the stomach, making her yell out in pain and fall to her knees. She throws Morgan to the ropes and hits her with a drop toe hold, making Morgan slam her face into the mat. Rosa then follows up with a head scissors submission.

"Do you submit!?" The ref asked.

"Come on, Morgan. You think you're a big girl now, huh? Give up!" She shouted and squeezed her legs tighter on her neck, making Morgan gasp for air.

"Rosa applying so much pressure on her neck. I think she's trying to break something." Cole said. "On Twitter Rosa has said that she's been working on her legs more often to apply that submission specifically for Morgan."

"It's like she's squeezing the life out of her. I don't think Morgan can breathe!" King exclaimed.

The crowd begins to clap to try to motivate The Outspoken Diva which starts to work until Rosa beats her down. Rosa hits her with a suplex and picks up the chair to put it in between the ropes in a corner. Rosa tries to Irish whip Morgan to the corner but she reverses it and makes Rosa clash into the chair and fall out of the ring.

"Did you hear that impact!?" JBL shouted.

"Morgan gets some time to breathe and try to get back in this," Cole said as she tried to catch her breath.

The crowd starts to chant 'We want tables' while Morgan slides out of the ring. The crowd erupts into loud cheers once she gives them what they want.

"This is where it gets dangerous," JBL said as she set up a table in the ring and put the ladder back up since it fell down after the sunset flip.

Rosa slides back in the ring and Morgan tries to put her on the table.

"No! No!" Rosa elbowed her in the stomach and slammed her head onto the table.

She pushes Morgan to the corner and puts her foot on her neck to choke her. Then, she sets her up on the turnbuckle.

"I am going to win this!" She shouted, making the crowd boo her.

She gets on the top rope to go for a suplex. Morgan manages to power out of Rosa's hold and slowly turns her around while Rosa starts to struggle.

"Oh no, what is she about to do here!?" Cole exclaimed.

"This is going to be good!" JBL said as the audience began standing up to watch in anticipation.

"No! No!" Rosa screamed as she tried to break free of Morgan's Morganizer hold. "No! Get off of me! No!"

Celeste tweets 'Haha, oh man, just don't kill her. Don't kill her! WWEMorgan101'

Morgan jumps off and hits Rosa with the Morganizer, making her land on the table, breaking it as the crowd explodes.

"Morganizer on the table! This may be it!" Cole shouted.

"It's over," JBL said as Morgan pinned Rosa.

"1!"

"2!"

"Oh!" The crowd shouted.

"What!?" King shouted in a high pitched voice. "What the hell!?"

"Rosa kicked out!" Cole shouted. "Rosa Mendes just kicked out!"

"How was that even possible!?" JBL exclaimed while Morgan rolled off of her, still next to her.

'This is awesome!' the crowd chants with appreciation. The first ever divas Extreme Rules match was becoming a success for them.

'Good...they love it.' Melanie thought to herself as she was proud of her and Milena's performance so far.

She wanted to make sure to make Milena look great in the ring while putting on a believable story. Their chemistry wrestling each other was off the charts. She truly found her wrestling soulmate.

"Are you okay?" Melanie asked Milena while they were still down and out with hair in their faces.

"Yes. They're cheering for you," Milena replied.

"They're cheering for us," she corrected. "Embrace it,"

"Thank you. I'm having so much fun,"

"Me too," Melanie rolled away, still taking a breather from the spot.

Continuing the match, Morgan and Rosa manage to get up but Rosa grabs the chair and whacks Morgan in the face with it.

"How dare you put me through a table!?" She shouted and hit her with the chair a few more times before throwing it away.

Morgan rolls out the ring while Rosa searches under the ring for another table.

"Rosa setting up the table," Cole observed while Morgan was at the end of the ramp setting up two tables next to each other, in front of a tall ladder on the ramp. Rosa marches over to Morgan and starts to have a back and forth punch off as the crowd cheers for Morgan and boo for Rosa. Morgan gains the upper hand by throwing Rosa into the steel steps.

"Good grief, this arena is getting wrecked," King said before Morgan hit Rosa with the backfire. "Backfire!"

Morgan places Rosa on the tables and exhales.

"Please don't tell me...Morgan what are you doing!?" JBL exclaimed as she started climbing up the ladder on the ramp.

The crowd begins to boo loudly when Evolution strolls down the ramp.

"Uh oh. Morgan watch your back." Cole warned.

"Morgan, get out of there!" King shouted.

Morgan looks around and looks down at the three members of Evolution smirking at her. This was not good, and her boys weren't able to help her out against them because they got ambushed. She was all alone. The Outspoken diva starts to get worried and starts to ponder about the situation. Batista helps Rosa off the table while Triple H and Orton continue to stare up at Morgan. The Philly Diva narrows her eyes at them and gives them a dirty look.

"Looks like someone is going to perish." Triple H sneered while Orton began climbing up the ladder to face off with her.

"Seems like you're missing a few buddies," Orton smirked while Morgan remained silent, keeping her composure. "You got two choices. You can either get down and lose this match, or you can be annihilated. What do you choose?"

"Morgan, please just get down and run. She's about to be massacred! She needs to get out of there!" King said with worry.

"And don't even think about trying to beat us. I know you wouldn't touch me. You can't even do it, can you? I'll even give you a free hit." Orton said. "Still can't keep your mind off the past between us as friends, huh? No wonder you've gotten weaker."

"I can put my hands on you," she spoke up.

"Just get down. Now," he said in a threatening tone. "You wouldn't even lift a finger at me."

Morgan smirked. "Watch me."

She pushes him off as he lands on the two tables, breaking them, making the crowd 'Oh' loudly and chant 'Holy shit' again.

"Randy Orton! Randy Orton just went through those tables!" Cole shouted.

"Holy crap!" King exclaimed as Triple H, Rosa, and Batista's eyes widened.

Morgan exhales and runs a hand through her hair, realizing what she's done. She's in for it now.

"Morgan get out of there!" JBL shouted as she managed to get back in the ring unharmed.

Triple H and Batista check on Orton while Rosa gets back in the ring.

Ronda Rousey tweets 'Whoa! Didn't know you had it in you! Hit and run! WWEMorgan101. That was badass!'

Celeste tweets 'That's what he gets! Serves him right! Good job WWEMorgan101!'

"Spear!" Cole shouted as Morgan speared Rosa and started unloading on her.

She goes for the pin but Batista drags her out of the ring.

"Oh no," Cole added.

"Come on..." King grumbled in an annoyed tone.

Morgan gets up and leans back to evade Batista's clothesline and swiftly grabs a chair to whack him in the face. The crowd cheers while Triple H begins to march after her. She tries to hit him with the chair but he grabs it and throws it aside. He kicks her in the stomach making her fall to her knees.

"Perish Morgan!" Triple H shouted.

But the crowd cheers again when she hits him with a low blow.

"Low blow!" Cole laughed as Rosa grabbed a guitar and got back in the ring.

Morgan gets her barbed wire guitar and gets back in the ring to face off with her. Their guitars clash and they continue clashing their guitars until Rosa kicks Morgan in the stomach and whacks her back with her guitar, breaking it. Rosa pins her for a two count.

"So, you wanna act tough, huh!?" Rosa shouted but Morgan began fighting back.

She throws Rosa into the ropes and strikes her with a roundhouse kick to the face. She gets on the middle top rope and hits Rosa with a diving clothesline.

"Morgan is trying to gain some more momentum back," Cole said as she grabbed her barbed wired guitar.

She waits for Rosa to get up to whack her in the face, making her hold her nose and scream.

"I think Rosa's really hurt. She's holding her nose. Did she break it?" JBL asked.

Moments later, Rosa reveals her nose, showing it bleeding, making the crowd cheer.

"Rosa's nose is bleeding!" Cole exclaimed.

"That barbed wire is dangerous!" JBL said.

Rosa screams and starts freaking out while Morgan looks satisfied, dropping her guitar. The Philly diva is feeling banged up and her neck is starting to irritate her again as she starts clenching it.

Rosa rolls out of the ring and starts freaking out to Triple H and Batista who tries to calm her down.

"Getting my nose messed up was not part of the plan!" Rosa shouted.

While Morgan is distracted by the ref trying to check her neck, Batista gets in the ring to hit her with a huge clothesline.

"And Batista getting involved..." Cole said with disappointment.

He gets a table and leans it to a corner while Morgan crawls

over to the same corner. Batista walks over to the opposite side and waits for her to get up to try to go for a spear. Luckily, she swiftly moves out of the way, making him crash into the table.

"Batista into the table!" Cole shouted.

"She's holding her own just fine." JBL praised.

Morgan slides out the ring and grabs a table of barbed wires, making the crowd cheer louder as Batista rolls out of the ring. Morgan gets back in the ring and gets on the top rope with the table while Rosa and Triple H are helping Batista up at ringside. They look up while Morgan jumps and hits them a crossbody with the barbed wire side hitting the three of them. The crowd 'Ohs' and chants 'Holy shit!' once again, showing a positive reaction to the match.

"Whoa!" King exclaimed.

"Oh my God!" Cole shouted as Batista and Triple H started scrambling around from the stinging barbed wire. "Have you ever seen this happen, before?"

Morgan takes the barbed wire table off of the three of them and throws Rosa back in the ring. Rosa was freaking out from the barbed wire and started screaming.

"Are you crazy!? Are you crazy!?" Rosa shouted.

"I'm going to kill her!" Triple H yelled, still in pain.

"And Randy Orton is still down and out," Cole said as the camera showed Orton still knocked out.

"Let's take a look at how that happened," King said as the titantron showed Morgan shoving Orton off the ladder again.

"That took guts," JBL said.

Ronda Rousey tweets 'I admire WWEMorgan101's courage and kick ass personality. She doesn't back down from anybody. Stay that way.'

Meanwhile in the ring, Rosa manages to hit Morgan with a couple of clotheslines and a scoop slam on to a chair.

"Rosa is taking over," Cole said.

"Look at those cuts," JBL said as Rosa had a lot of scratches around her body from the barbed wire and her nose was still bleeding.

Rosa wipes her nose with her hand and looks at the blood in annoyance.

"Ugh!" She shouted.

She gets another table and places it in the middle of the ring. She picks Morgan up for the Gory Bomb.

"This may be it," JBL said as Rosa did a loud battle cry before slamming her down on the table.

She goes to pin her but Morgan kicks out at two as the crowd looks on in shock and cheers loudly.

"What!?" King shouted.

"I thought it was over!" Cole added.

"No! No!" Rosa screamed and started banging on the mat. "Count faster!"

She yells at the ref and slaps him in the face, surprising the crowd.

"I am the official! It was 2! You can't put your hands on me!" The referee yelled.

"I don't care! It should have been 3!" she screamed in his face.

"Rosa, calm down!" King exclaimed.

"She just assaulted the ref!" Cole exclaimed as she started unloading on the ref.

"I should have won, right there!" Rosa continued to scream.

Morgan continues to hold her neck as she starts to feel more pain. She earned a few welts around her body, mostly on her back and bruises from the table and guitar she went through, thanks to Rosa.

Rosa calms down and turns her attention back to Morgan but gets hit with a DDT before getting pinned.

"1!"

"2!"

"Oh!" The crowd shouts as Rosa kicks out.

"Stay on her Morgan!" JBL said as Morgan staggered to her feet and slowly got on the top rope. "Going high risk."

Morgan stands tall on the top rope, aiming for a crossbody but then Triple H gets on the apron to distract her, making the crowd boo. Morgan kicks him off but while she is distracted, Orton slithers into the ring and gives Rosa a chair before sliding out of the ring. Rosa gets to her feet while Morgan goes for crossbody. The crowd 'Ohs' while Morgan yells in pain as Rosa counters her attack by swinging a chair to her stomach, making Morgan clash into it, clenching her stomach.

"Good grief!" JBL exclaimed as Rosa went for the pin.

"1!"

"2!"

"3!"

The crowd begins to boo loudly while Rosa gets up and jumps around.

"Yes! Yes! I told you! I told you!" She shouted.

"Here is your winner! Rosa Mendes!" Justin announced.

Rosa taunts the crowd and turns to the ref. "Raise my hand! Raise my hand!" She ordered and got her hand raised.

Evolution gets in the ring and stands over Morgan.

Ronda Rousey tweets 'No friggin way!'

Lita tweets 'WWEMorgan101 and LaRosaMendes's rivalry is starting to get intense. You two are starting to become my favorite feud. Awesome match!'

Stephanie tweets 'Talk about a successful first ever diva extreme rules match! WWEMorgan101 & LaRosaMendes did a great job!'

Mick Foley tweets 'Admired both WWEMorgan101 and LaRosaMendes performance tonight. Great match!'

"I can't believe Rosa won," Cole said in disbelief as the titantron showed the highlights. "First Morgan got distracted and that allowed Rosa to buy some time to receive the chair from Orton."

Evolution raises Rosa's hands and celebrates with her while Morgan continues to hold her neck. Then the men grab Morgan and hold her by the arms for Rosa.

"Oh come on! You won! Get out of here!" King shouted.

Rosa roughly grabbed Morgan's face and made her look at her. "Where's your boyfriend!? Where's your little hounds? Where's Chyna!? Where's your mommy!? This is how weak you are! This is how pathetic you are!" She shouted.

A 'You suck' chant starts while Rosa and Evolution release Morgan. Rosa starts stomping on her and picks her up so she can get hit with a Batista bomb.

"Come on! Enough is enough!" King exclaimed.

Morgan starts to look very groggy as she crawls to the feet of Triple H.

"Come on, let me see your fighting spirit. Crawl!" Triple H shouted before he gave her a pedigree.

Orton, who was still ticked off at being thrown into a few tables, slowly picks her up to her feet and hits her with a sick RKO.

The Bellas tweet 'Enough is enough! Just stop!'

Celeste tweets 'Getting more pissed off each time they hit WWEMorgan101.'

"This is getting hard to watch. Somebody needs to help her." King said.

"But The Shield are still beaten down from their ambush by Evolution," JBL reminded.

Rosa receives a chair from Triple H while Morgan struggles to stand on her feet with the help of the ropes. She whacks her in the back, making her fall. Rosa hits her again when she tried to get back to her feet.

"Stay down! Just stay down! Stay down and it'll be all over!" JBL exclaimed.

Rosa whacks Morgan in the face and then drops the chair to start unloading on her neck.

"Now she's going after the neck," Cole looked on.

All of a sudden Evolution begins to smirk when Rosa picks Morgan up for the piledriver.

"Say goodbye to your neck, Morgan! And say goodbye to your career!" Rosa drops down, hitting her neck harshly.

"Guys...Morgan's not moving. At all." Cole said with worry.

"Is she okay!?" King shouted.

Finally, The Shield runs down to the ring, pretty banged up but Evolution and Rosa leave the ring. Ambrose is furious and is about to go after them but gets held back by Roman.

"Dean! Calm down!" Roman shouted. "Morgan is our top priority, right now! She needs us!"

Ambrose cools down and kneels to check on her with Seth, Roman, and the ref.

"Things just turned serious. She's really hurt." JBL said as a couple of refs and a doctor rushed down to the ring.

"I need to get in there." King took his headset off and got in the ring to check on her as the crowd started to notice how serious things had just gotten.

"Morgan, can you hear me?" The doctor asked.

Roman clenches his fist and looks away at the sight. He never ever wanted to see her in this kind of pain.

"Morgan." Dean held her hand and squeezed it while Seth held her other hand.

"Is-is her neck okay?" JBL asked.

"Morgan, can you hear me?" The doctor repeated but still got no response.

"What's going on?" Seth urged.

Morgan opens her eyes and squeezes Seth and Dean's hands.

"Morgan!" Seth and Dean exclaimed while Roman looked relieved.

"Morgan, can you move around?" The doctor asked and tried to help her up as the crowd began to cheer for her.

"My neck..." She grunted as she slowly sat up.

She is given a bottle of water and starts taking sips of it.

"We need a stretcher." The doctor said on his radio.

"I'm glad she's moving her legs and arms," Cole said as the titantron showed Rosa's piledriver.

"I'm scared." She whispered and was about to cry.

Her neck felt so weird and the pain got worse as she started to yell out in pain. The refs and doctor help her back down while The hounds of justice continue to look concerned.

"They're gonna pay for this. We promise." Ambrose growled.

A stretcher gets rolled down to ringside and into the ring. The doctor puts a neck brace on her and gets help with putting her on the stretcher. Morgan gets taken backstage while The Shield walk by her side as the crowd continues to cheer and chant her name.

Stone Cold tweets 'WWEMorgan101 I know you're going to keep getting up from everything The Authority throws at you. When you recover, I want you to open up a can of ass whooping on that Rosa woman. Great match.'

Celeste tweets 'WWEMorgan101! Please get better with your neck! I love you! Awesome match!'

Ronda Rousey 'WWEMorgan101 man that piledriver must have hurt! I hope you heal up soon. When you come back, give Rosa an armbar just for me!'

-------

Morgan wasn't sure if her neck was broken or just aching from the impact she suffered. All she knows is that she was in a ton of pain.

"I just want my mom." Her voice cracked.

She holds Dean's hand as she gets rolled near the ambulance.

"We're gonna get a hold of her grapes. Hang in there," Dean soothed as she got placed in the back of the ambulance.

The Shield hops in too and sits by her side as they get driven away.

"I'm sorry..." She mumbled.

"Sorry for what?" Dean wiped her tears.

"For letting you guys down...I lost..."

"We let you down," Seth mentioned and held her hand, giving it a squeeze.

"What?" she asked.

"We weren't there for you," Dean replied.

"But we're gonna get them for you, grapes. We promise." Roman reassured.

"Evolution is going to pay," Ambrose said with determination and ran a hand through her hair.

"Got that right. Remember, if they mess with you, they mess with me, and if they mess with me, they mess with Seth, and if they mess with Seth, they mess with Ambrose. We got your back. For now, just rest." Roman added.

Morgan sighs out of relief. She thought her boys were mad at her but they were actually standing by her.

"Thanks," She calmed down. "I love you, guys. You're always there for me. Even if you weren't there in the ring with me, you're here with me, now. That's all that matters."

"You're always there for us." Seth smiled. "And we love you, too."

"Hm..." She showed a weak smile and tried to rest her body, despite the agony she was in.

She wanted to stay strong and not cry. She didn't want to look weak in front of her boys.

"Morgan...it's okay to cry. We know you want to." Roman said in a gentle tone.

"We know you're tough. We know you're in agony." Seth comforted. "It's going to be okay."

"Let it out," Ambrose murmured in a soft tone.

She then starts to cry silently before beginning to sob. Moments later she cries herself to sleep. It pained them to see her like this. She was always smiling, and hyping them up during their matches. She rarely gets broken down like this. Their hearts ached to see her in this kind of pain. Evolution and Rosa were not going to get away with that.

The Shield give each other knowing looks.

"They crossed the line. They're going to pay for this. For them to hurt her like this...to hurt my woman..." Ambrose pounded his fist. "I'm going to rearrange their faces."

"I know...you and me both," Seth said and looked down at the sleeping Philly Diva. "We can't be outsmarted, again. For Morgan's sake, we need to kick their asses. Give them a beating. Whenever it's tomorrow or next week, we need to do it for her."

"They're going get their asses kicked. Don't worry. We got this." Roman said in an angry tone and bumped fists with his teammates.

Seth tweets, 'There is going to be hell to pay. You won't get away with this TripleH DaveBautista RandyOrton LaRosaMendes.'

Roman tweets 'When you mess with The Shield's Girl, you mess with the hounds. Consider yourself our prey. Watch your backs Evolution & Rosa. You've just crossed the line'

AG Presents: The Time Of Day Tour - The Encore

General Information

After five long month's, NCT AG wrapped up their first world tour back in Korea with a three night run of encore shows

To really celebrate the ending of a huge moment of AG's career, the girls decided to make more work for themselves and change EVERYTHING!!!! The setlist, costumes, vcr's, the whole shebang.

As for the encore's story, The mech-shark from previous shows is back and has banished AG to the real world. The group has to travel across different dreams and collect more Dreamergy to get back to the Flat and destroy the shark once and for all

The show takes place over three days on November 4th, 5th and 6th. The beyond live was on the 5th.

While the group did change quite a few things, the stage set up, including the massive light rigged circle, did not.

VCR Info

Opening

The action kicks off as soon as the VCR starts. We're back in The Flat and Moxy gets thrown across the screen but she lands on her feet (Kindof like Black Widow). Hannah runs over and helps her up. "I though we took care of this thing."

Aurora flies by and ducks under the shark attacking dorsal fin, "We didn't really defeat it. We just sent our misplaced guests back home."

Up in the skies Juno floats on a metal disk keeping a watch on her friends, "Guys watch out. We gotta portal in coming." She jumps up and the disk transforms into surfboard. Juno lands safely and rides right into the fight. A sword appeared in mid air that Juno grabs. She plants the sword in the underbelly of the shark, slicing thru the underside of the shark just as a portal to the real world opened.

"JUNO!!" The other three girls screamed as they watched their friend fly right into the portal. The wind picks up, dragging all the girls off the ground and into the air. Moxy was able to grab ahold of a light post. Hannah flew past but Moxy grabbed her hand. Hannah grabbed Aurora out the air by the collar. For a moment the three girls held on but the winds current grew stronger and stronger.

Slowly, Moxy lost her grip on the light post, sending the three girls flying. One after the other, each girl gets pulled in as the shark roars in victory

Aurora, Hannah and Moxy land on the other side of the portal in normal clothes. They tried to jump back in but it closed too quickly. The girls heard a groan behind them. They ran over to help Juno stand.

"What do we do now." Hannah asked as the four girls stood in the empty alley where their way home stood inaccessible.

"I guess we go hunting for Dreamergy." Moxy turned around with her hand up. A black smoke engulfed her hand and shot out at the camera making the screen go black

AG ended up in the backstage of an arena once again. This time they stood in front of the lift as stage hands ran around them. Stylists were adding jewelry while makeup artist finished their final touch ups. A voice sounds from a walkie-talkie, "30 seconds till show time. Girls make your way to the lift."

A manager stepped up and guided the girls to their positions as the lights go down and the girls are lifted out of sight.

Rockband VCR

The girls walk into a garage set up with band equipment. Each of the members take a instrument.

Moxy takes Bass. Aurora sits behinds the drum kit. Juno grabs the lead guitar and Hannah steps behind the keyboard. Aurora counts them off with her drumsticks and the girls play a instrumental version a new song, Me Vs. The World.

The girls are rocking out when the camera cuts to a couple walking down the street. They look over and see that AG aren't playing real instruments, they're playing air instruments. The couple quickly walks away, shielding their faces.

Neo Got My Back VCR

Each of the members walk into the shot in outfits that represent the song they are performing. They stand together in the middle then a white flash obscures the screen.

When it fades out, AG are wearing outfits reminiscent of The 7th Sense music video

Solo Exchange VCR

A close-up on Moxy eyes as they open. the camera pans out while Moxy looks around. Finding herself on a sidewalk with a guy she doesn't know next to her. She stands in the same outfit the Juno wore in History.

The camera zooms back in on Moxy eyes. She blinks and we switch to Hannah who stands in small pool of water wearing. Aurora white outfit for On + Off

Zoom into Hannah's eyes. With a blink, we switch to Juno standing amongst a crowd of dancers in a crowded club. Juno looks puzzled while she wears Hannah's Let Me Get Me

With one more zoom and a blink, Aurora is on the set of Headphones in Moxy's white puffy jogging suit. Aurora shrugs at the camera. Unsure about what's happening.

Love Rollercoaster VCR

Quick scenes of the girls in happy relationships. Juno cooking in a kitchen, trying to avoid the tickling fingers her boyfriend. Aurora digging her cold toes into her partners thigh. Hannah eating dinner with her man as the sun sets. Moxy slow dancing in the living room with her boyfriend

A storm brews in the sky and a bolt of lightning strikes across the screen. Now the relationships aren't so happy anymore.

Juno is screaming, throwing plates and glasses at her boyfriend. Aurora crying, her face buried in her hands as her boyfriend yells at her. A single tear rolls down Hannah's face, realizing that her boyfriend is missing another dinner. Moxy and her partner standing in the living room screaming in each others faces.

Moxy keeps screaming as her boyfriends quiets. The camera circles them and focuses on Moxy face over his shoulder as a hand smacks across her face. Moxy falls to the ground holding her cheek. Shock in her eyes. The camera pans out and fades to black

Love Myself Mini VCR

the girls stand in a field tall grass in white outfits. The wind flows thru their hair.

Juno holds a broken plate. Aurora wipes away her tears. Hannah swirls around a glass of wine. the camera focuses on Moxy's bruised cheek. She smoothed her hand across her cheek and the bruise healed instantly

All four girls take a deep breath simultaneously as the camera flies around them and into the sky

Christmastime VCR

The girls walk around on a snowy street decked out in the winters finest. Around them families and couple play around in a winter wonderland.

Kids are sledding. Parents are making snow angels and snowmen. Teens are having a snowball fight. Couples are sitting together and sipping hot chocolate.

The girls stop in front of a snowglobe display window. In the center, illuminated by spotlights, was a huge snowglobe with a city skyline. White snow fell over the small city. On the base read the words Ncity.

The girls smile as snow begins to fall.

Show Ending

This video is shown once the girls go back stage at the end of the encore.

The girls stand in the alley from the beginning of the show. The each have a bottle of some pink liquid in their hands. Moxy looks from side to side before uncapping the bottle "Alright. Here goes nothing." All the girls chug the pink liquid. They all make faces at the taste but get it down with minimal gagging.

AG joins hands and a bright white light shoots out of their chests and weaves together, forming an arrow. The arrow dashes across the alleyway, flies up then dives straight down creating a new portal to The Flat. The girls celebrate, finally being able to make it home.

They walk through and come face to face with a sleeping shark. Moxy smirks, making a massive scythe appear in her hands. Around her, the other members also grab weapons to take down the shark once and for all.

The shark feels something tap his nose. The shark's eyes blink open to see AG standing before him. Aurora waves at him then takes her mallet and smashes his nose to pieces.

The girls proceed to destroy the shark that's been tormenting them and The Flat. Moxy cut off its fins before it could fly off. Juno cracked off his jaw open, leaving him with no way out. Hannah took the last blow, launching a missile at the sharks broken remains. Nothing was left except for scatter nuts and bolts.

The camera follows the smoke up to the sky and comes back down as the smoke clears. The girls sit on silver disk floating in the air, staring out at the peaceful Flat

"Its been awhile since we've been gone. We should probably get back before the boys worry and go looking for someone that isn't there." At Hannah's mention, the girls get moving.

Just as they walk to the edge of the disk, Aurora calls out

“Are we ready? For the future? Like what's in store for us?"

Moxy gestures for Aurora to come over. Once she’s in reach, Moxy pulls the younger into her side.

“We’ll never be ready for the future cause we’ll never know what's in store tomorrow. What I do know is with the four of us, I’m sure we’re ready for anything.

With that, one by one, they dive off the platform until only Moxy is left. Moxy turns around to face the camera and smiles. She winks before flipping off the platform following the girls into AG’s future

TO celebrate the girls finishing their tour back in Korea, AG's Exhibition added outfits from the tour. The various screens around the space played performances from the Time Of Day Tour: Live in Los Angeles dvd

in the middle of the stage a single mic rose from the floor. During the song, AG push and shove each other to sing into the mic while the other parade around the stage engaging with fans.

The crowd lost their MINDS when the members came out in their outfits for the NCT covers section.

Juno and Taeyong worked together on new choreography for Volcano. The singer wanted to do something new because all the fans have seen Boss.

To end this section, the girls decided to really show off and perform The 7th Sense. In a higher octave! Anyone who still said AG didn't belong in NCT were immediately silenced with this performance cause the girls KILLED! IT!!!!

AG wanted this encore to be about once in a lifetime stages. Performances that may never be seen again so any fan who was watching, online or in person, felt like they got their money's worth. So they all decided to switch solo songs by drawing straws.

Most fans rank Moxy above Aurora on their rapping skill but when stood on the stage and performed Headphones flawlessly, alot of people had to reconsider their ranking. (Like why rank them at all, theres only two of them.)

Hannah surprised everyone with the emotion she poured into her performance of On + Off. Her experience with contemporary dance really elevated the choreography

Out of all the members, fans praised Juno the most. It can be challenging to do a song with complicated choreography but Juno looked like she barely broke a sweat. The singers come a long way from her early days in NCT

In the next section, AG performs all their lower tempo love songs but with a surprise at the end. AG debuted the next two new songs written by them.

Say Ok was stripped down and reworked into an all acoustic track with Hannah playing the acoustic guitar on stage with them (Giving off early TSwift vibes)

After another vcr, the girls performed the new songs. Back To My Love and Body Talk both have a theme of loving yourself. More like learning to love yourself. Realizing you don't need anyone adding toxicity to your life

Moxy worked on both of the new songs. She did Body Talk with Juno and Back To My Love with Hannah.

In the finale, AG performed Give It Up. The version the group did for Queendom. AG decided to save the dance performance version for special occasions like their encore concert.

To end the show, The members decided to perform a new Christmas song along with their previously released one. The song, called The Perfect Christmas, was recorded while the girls were in California.

To celebrate the end of the tour, SM released two albums. The first was the live album that was recorded at their L.A show.

The second album was called Time Of Day: AG Presents. The album consisted of studio recordings the new songs debuted in concert. It was released in December, a week before Christmas.

Tracklist: Let Me Move You (4 Member Ver.), Shut Up And Dance (Rock Ver.), Take A Hint, Body Talk, All About Us, Back To My Love, Me vs. The World, Wonder

The Perfect Christmas was added as a bonus track on streaming platforms. On Christmas Eve, AG's Youtube channel dropped the music video for the song. Where the girls are walking through a picturesque city during Christmas on their way to a holiday party with all the members of NCT (The og song is from the Cheetah Girls Christmas album just like AG's last Christmas song)

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

and with that, AG's first tour is OVAH!!! I hope you enjoyed reading my ideas of the concert. Both posts were a lot of fun to write but it's gonna be awhile before another one!! I have more stories from the tour that'll be posted within the next two months so thank you for waiting patiently!! Thank you for reading and have a great day! ~ Author Izzy

Apartment #3 - Chapter 4

pairing: steve rogers x undercover!reader

warnings: 18+ SMUT*, Neighbors to Friends to Lovers, lots of angst, heavy mutual pining, hurt/comfort, eventual smut/romance/fluff

summary: as an undercover agent at SHIELD, her newest assignment involves moving in across the hall from her target. she's strictly ordered to keep her distance—no personal contact besides the absolutely necessary. the only issue? her new target neighbor turns out to be Captain America.

excerpt:

Jessica Grace Parker December 4th, 1989 569 Leaman Place Apt. #3, Brooklyn, NY 11201 Registered Nurse NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital

It’s the undercover alias she’s been assigned as a member of SHIELD’s Special Operations unit. The mission objective was rather simple—monitor the target and report updates as necessary.

She’s gone undercover more than a dozen times, so it’s not the details of the assignment or the temporary relocation she’s concerned about.

It’s just that her target was well… more unusual than most.

author's note: an idea that's been living in my head ever since steve asked sharon for that cup of coffee in their apartment hallway. as a SHIELD agent, the reader's real name has been [REDACTED] to preserve anonymity.

masterlist

taglist: @tsofo26 @yvonneeeee @cass0419 @nekoannie-chan

Living as Captain America’s neighbor teaches her a thing or two about his routine.

He’s out the door by half past five each morning, the muffled jingling of his keys from across the hall a daily reminder that while he’s up for a jog at the crack of dawn, she's still in the comfort of her bed, eyes-half closed while she scrolls mindlessly on her phone.

He returns by 7 am, right around the time she’s leaving her apartment in fake hospital scrubs, heading to take the train to Manhattan. She’s run into him in the hallway about a handful of times, and he’d always greeted her with a friendly wave and a peppy grin, stepping aside to let her through. Each time, she'd manage a quick wave, trying not to stare at the tousled ends of his hair, or his arms through that ridiculously tight underarmour shirt.

He’s busy for most of the day, as is she, but on weekends and occasional days off she’d see him around the building, checking the mail, taking out the trash—just simple, normal, neighborly things. All so incredibly mundane that she almost starts to forget that he’s America’s most beloved hero.

Almost.

Sometimes, she’s reminded of the painful truth. That to Steve, she’s just… Jess, the nurse in unit 3.

It’s the end of yet another work day, and she’s barely managed to clamber up the last few stairs to her floor before exploding into a bout of loud sneezes.

“Ugh… fuck me.” She groans, blowing her nose into the tissue in her head as she trudges over to her door, feeling her head pound with each painful step.

“Hey, Jess.”

From down the hall, Steve waves, locking up his door behind him.

A pair of dark aviators hang from the collar of his shirt, the brown leather jacket hanging off his arm a faded shade of sepia.

And maybe its her oxygen-depleted brain, or the fact that she’s always been so paranoid about getting others sick, that she completely forgets about Steve’s super-immune system. As he starts to make his way over, she jumps back, holding both hands out in warning.

“No, stay back!”

At the confused furrow in his soft brows, she winces, giving him an apologetic smile.

“Sorry, just…” She holds up the crumpled tissue in her palm, pointing to the strawberry pink tip of her nose. “…getting over a small cold.”

Well, it was a little more than that, actually.

A dinner invite over at Phil and Melinda’s, both good friends from work. Their two young children, ages 5 and 8, had immediately welcomed her with their own musical rendition of Frozen. And it was all fun and games, hanging out with those mini-agents, until they got their tiny, grubby hands all over the dinner plates while setting the table.

Turns out there’s been a flu outbreak at their school.

Now, she’s stuck with a seriously stuffy nose and a raging headache, shivering from head to toe when its still 80 degrees out.

“Oh, right.” The confused divot between Steve’s brows dissolves as he slows his steps, keeping his distance.

“…did you catch it at work?”

She blinks, brain screeching to a halt.

“Hmm? Oh, yeah. Early flu season around the pediatrics unit, apparently.”

“Ah, I’m sorry.” Steve purses his lips, smiling sympathetically.

Through clenched teeth, she shrugs, stomach churning at the words that roll so easily off her tongue.

“Just part of the job.”

He slowly slips his keys into the pocket of his jeans, bouncing on the balls of his feet before pointing down the hall.

“Well, I should…”

“R-right.”

She nods quickly, stepping back to let him through.

And just as she’s about to turn around and continue heading to her door, she hears Steve’s footsteps slow down, stalling near the top of the stairs.

“Hey Jess—make sure to stay hydrated, alright?” He calls out.

And despite the fact that every bone and muscle in her body had been aching from keeping herself upright all day, all that fades away at the sight of his smile, warmth tingling from her cheeks down to her toes.

“I will. Thanks, Steve.” She grins, watching as he disappears down the stairs with a wave.

The day after that is Saturday, which means that she gets to spend all day lounging around her house, ordering in for all three meals.

It also means that she’s scheduled for her weekly call from Fury.

She’s comfortably situated on her sofa, scrolling through the newest features on Netflix, when her burner phone lights up.

Nick, never one for small talk, gets straight to the point.

“Got any updates?”

She snorts, glancing over at her living room window, the shades half-drawn.

“Just the usual, Nick. Perimeter’s secure—whole building’s quieter than a church.”

“No one suspicious?”

“Nope.” She sighs, reaching forward for the tissue box on her coffee table.

“… hmm, except for that sweet old lady down the hall. Could be a Russian spy.”

She grins at the dead silence that rings out on the other end of the line, about to rub another sarcastic joke in Nick’s face before she hears a soft knock at her door.

She frowns, glancing at the clock—6:42. She had just put in an order for delivery at a local Korean place, and her doordash driver wasn’t supposed to get here for another half hour.

“There’s one more thing I’ve been meaning to as—

“—sorry, Nick, hold on. Someone’s at the door.”

Leaving the phone on the coffee table, she walks over to her door, frowning when there’s no one there on the other side.

Jutting her head outside, she takes a quick glance down the hallway—completely empty.

She’s just about to close the door and return to Nick’s call when her eyes catch a small plastic bag in front of her door, resting on the floor near her feet.

She bends down, squinting down at the bag—inside, she could spot the top of a small blue container with a paper note perched on top. She carefully reaches in, fishing out the note to find a handwritten message, neatly written in blue ink:

I hope this helps with the cold. Feel better soon! - Steve

She stands in front of her door for what seems like a full hour, eyes carefully tracing over Steve’s writing.

When she finally returns to her living room, carefully setting the bag down on the table, she’s tempted to peer inside at its contents. She decides against it, quickly snatching up the burner phone in fear of keeping Nick Fury on hold for too long.

“Hey, sorry, I’m back.” She sighs into the receiver, feeling out of breath somehow.

“Who was it?”

She pauses for a split second, pursing her lips.

“Just my dinner. Had something delivered. What were you saying?”

Fury shifts from the other end, his chair creaking in the background.

“Well, I was gonna ask about Rogers. He seem to be holding up?”

At those words, the image of Steve’s smile flashes across her mind, welcoming her to the building.

Moved around a couple times, but… Brooklyn’s always been home.

Her eyes trail over to the plastic bag sitting on her table, and she clears his throat.

“Uh, yeah, he seems… he seems fine here.”

“You two talk often?”

And though there’s no underlying edge to Fury’s tone that would suggest suspicion, her stomach jolts nervously.

“No, not really. Just saying hi every now and then.”

“Alright, well, I want you to keep surveilling the perimeters. Can’t ever be too careful. And keep an eye on that Russian spy.”

She smiles stiffly, the corners of her mouth weighed down by the growing uneasiness in her gut.

“Will do, boss.”

She clicks off the call, reaching for the bag on the table before she can even tuck the burner back into its usual place in her drawer.

Inside, she finds a small, cylindrical thermos.

As she lifts it out of the bag, she notices that the thermos is pretty hefty for its size, its mysterious contents sloshing around inside.

Brows furrowed, she twists open the top, and is immediately hit with a gust of warm steam and the aroma of… chicken noodle soup?

You’ve got to be shitting me.

The pizza after her breakup, and now this. It feels strange to think that she’d been the one assigned to protect Steve while he’s been looking out for her since day 1. It’s uncanny almost, how someone could care so much about a practical stranger. Neighbors, sure, but it had only been about a month since she’s moved in.

And, yeah, she gets the whole Captain America spiel. Not a perfect soldier, but a good man. Honest, loyal, courageous. All the qualities that made Erskine’s serum a grand success.

Yet, she realizes now that she’s barely known anything about Steve Rogers, the man who existed long before the red-white-and-blue shield.

The extent of his kindness. The nearly self-destructive acts of selflessness. The way he seems to forget, sometimes, that every single creature in the galaxy owes him their life.

He’d gladly lay down his own life for a stranger, and listen to her menial problems as if they mattered just as much as the existential threats he’s faced with on a daily basis.

Sitting cross-legged on her couch on an ordinary Saturday evening, clutching onto a warm bowl of chicken noodle soup in her lap, she wallows in her thoughts, a single question growing stronger and stronger in her head:

Steven Grant Rogers, who are you?

Lucien, the Mithril Prince

[I had initially hoped that this wave of big bad blocks would have more demigods. But demigods take a long time, and I’m very tired. So I’m going to showcase a few unique NPCs, similar to Kojark or Warduke.This is a character I’ve never used, but have had rattling around in my head for a while. The genesis was “Mithril Prince would be a good title for an eldritch knight”, but I decided to make the actual stat block a magus, because magus is a cool class I haven’t used much.]

Lucien, the Mithril Prince CR 15 CE Monstrous Humanoid This handsome human man has red hair and pale skin. He wears a white tunic and red cloak over his gleaming silvery armor.

A doppelganger named Chut had a propensity for violence, so joined up with an army to indulge it. His ruthlessness got him promoted to the rank of sergeant, but his callous disregard for life got his squad overwhelmed and nearly wiped out. One of the few survivors on the battlefield, he had a vision of a beautiful winged woman with empty, bleeding eyes, exulting over the slaughter. And so Chut saw Szuriel, the Horseman of War, for the first time. And fell in love.

Chut has devoted the rest of his life to waging war. His current alter ego in that capacity is Lucien, the Mithril Prince. The Mithril Prince is the leader of a mercenary army, willing to fight for any country, cause or creed for very reasonable prices. The highest ranking members of his army are just as depraved as he is, but many of the rank and file do not know that their general’s ultimate goal is to kill for the sake of killing. Lucien is skilled in finding and exacerbating tensions between rival powers. If he cannot do so subtly, he does so through false flag operations, committing assassinations and atrocities in one country while disguised as a member of the other’s forces.

Although Lucien is a commander of battalions, he does not hesitate to get his own hands and blade dirty. Continuing the doppelganger tradition of flexibility in tactics, he has trained as a magus, blending sword and spell with deadly efficacy. He usually prefers to open combat with an area of effect spell, like cloudkill, cone of cold or fireball, both as a show of force and to exult in any collateral damage. When fighting as Lucien, he keeps his mithril armor gleaming and pristine, but he can change its appearance and design at will, the better for posing as a terrorist.

Lucien, the Mithril Prince CR 15 XP 38,400 Doppelganger magus 14 CE Medium monstrous humanoid (shapechanger) Init +5; Senses darkvision 60 ft., low-light vision, Perception +15 Defense AC 25, touch 11, flat-footed 24 (+1 Dex, +4 natural, +10 armor) hp 156 (18d8+72) Fort +15, Ref +11, Will +18 Immune charm, sleep Offense Speed 20 ft.

Now we're into the real demon lords of the Tome of Beasts. Alquam is a massive owl demon monstrosity of the night and secrets, and all the information for this is going to have to be in two separate sections for the different systems I'm posting for.

Pathfinder 2e

Alquam, the Silent Black, Eyes in the Night, the Dark Hunter. He is a creature of eternal darkness, who is said to be able to hear any words whispered in shadow or at night. Owls are his favored representative, and owl-like monsters such as the owl harpy may be the result of his influence and interference. The most favored of his humanoid followers are any strix he has lured into his service, to the point where one of his other mortal creations bears the name stryx in homage to the ancestry. He delights in music, though his favorite songs tear at mortal sanity and contain notes and sounds outside most creature’s hearing range.

In his true form he appears as a massive, monstrous owl composed mostly of darkness. His lair is hidden within the layers of the Abyss, cloaked in darkness so deep that no creature can see through it save with his blessing. Any dark, shadowy corner of the Abyss may lead to his lair if he so wishes, and his night-bound subjects spy on all.

Areas of Concern darkness, owls, secret information Edicts gather information secretly, live by night, hunt living creatures Anathema bring light to darkness, kill an owl Divine Attribute Dexterity or Wisdom

Devotee Benefits Cleric Spells 1st: tailwind, 2nd: invisibility, 4th: aerial form Divine Font harm or heal Divine Sanctification can choose unholy Divine Skill Stealth Domains darkness, knowledge, secrecy, trickery Favored Weapon war razor

Alquam's mortal followers are rare, and tend to be spread out in small cells dedicated to the night. Higher ranking members will oversee multiple cells and dole out tasks, usually for gathering useful information or eliminating troublesome foes. The following stat block represents one of these killers, an assassin rather than a spy, who is dedicated to destroying the foes of the Eyes in the Night.

Night Killer Creature 5 Rare, Medium, Humanoid, Strix, Unholy Perception +11; darkvision Languages Abyssal, Common, Strix Skills Acrobatics +11, Intimidation +11, Religion +13, Stealth +13 Str +1, Dex +3, Con +2, Int +0, Wis +4, Cha +2 Items studded leather, war razor AC 22; Fort +11, Ref +10, Will +13 HP 75 Speed 25 feet, fly 25 feet Melee war razor +12 (agile, backstabber, deadly d8, finesse), Damage 1d4+5 Divine Prepared Spells DC 21, attack +13 ; 3rd blindness (×2), harm (×4), vampiric feast; 2nd darkness, invisibility, spiritual armament; 1st fear, runic weapon (×2); cantrips (3rd) daze, detect magic, guidance, shield, void warp Domain Spells 1 Focus Point, DC 21 , 3rd cloak of shadows; Sap Life (healing) When the night killer casts a harm spell and damages at least one living creature, it regains Hit Points equal to the spell rank of the harm spell.

13th Age

Alquam is the overseer of a much more subtle Hellhole. While the standard Hellholes rip giant gashes into the world, spit out fire and brimstone and spill out thousands of demons in a vicious invasion, Alquam's is instead a pit of impenetrable shadows that slowly flow out over the surrounding terrain. While those in power are aware of the Endless Night, its lower active threat means it's getting less attention than other Hellholes that constantly spit out active threats, and so for the moment it floats under the radar. Besides, the few shadowy demons that have spilled out have been easily handled by local adventurers, so the threat is minimal.

Unknown to any (except the Diabolist and perhaps the Prince of Shadows), deep in the center of this darkness rest Alquam, a demon of immense power who fuels the constantly spreading night. His goal is eternal darkness over the land, and the longer his plot is ignored the faster the shadows will spread, until it will be too late for anyone to hem them in.

Alquam Large 13th level spoiler [demon] Initiative: +20 Beak +18 vs. AC - 150 damage. Miss: 75 damage. Beating Wings +18 vs. PD (2 attacks) - 25 damage and the target pops free from Alquam. Natural Even Hit: The target also loses its next move action. Quick Use: 1/round, as a quick action. Talons +18 vs. AC (1 attack, or 2 attacks if flying) - 25 damage, and the target is grabbed. Alquam can grab one target at a time, or two if he is flying. Natural 16+: The target also takes 20 ongoing damage while grabbed. Quick Use: 1/round, as a quick action. Cloak of Night: Alquam can spend a quick action to cloak the entire battlefield in clinging supernatural darkness. Each creature except for him becomes dazed (save ends) whenever it rolls a natural odd number on any die. Flight. AC 28 PD 26 MD 26 HP 828
