My neighbour Rúben | Chapter 12

Author's note: Sorry about these chapters being so short btw 🙈 I could put two together, but then the story would be shorter, and what is going to be happening next makes more sense the way it is divided right now. So... yeah. Sorry 🫣

Previous chapter | Next chapter

Masterlist

"Merry Christmas, neighbour."

"Merry Christmas, Rúben" I smiled.

"Did you check if I'm under your tree?" 

"Haven't gone downstairs yet, but that doesn't look like my grandma's living room" I said, squinting my eyes at my phone's screen. "And who said you were what I asked Father Christmas for?"

"Oh, yes. Why ask for something that already is yours" he said with that smirk of his. Thank God it was still dark in my room and he couldn't properly see how badly I was blushing. "Any news about your parents?"

"Nope, nothing. Only that my uncle and his family will come later to say hello."

"Are they team dad too?"

"They are team I don't want to get in trouble. But what about you? How did the night go?"

"It was ok, just the four of us."

"Any plans for today?"

"My mum is cooking, so that will definitely cheer us all. And I'll stop by Lucy's place to give Julia her present."

"What did you get her?"

"A new Elsa costume with a wig and heels."

"Oh, she's gonna love it. And drive us all crazy with the noise those heels are gonna make."

"Well, the one living downstairs is Mrs. Jones, so I don't feel sorry for her."

"Rúben!" I laughed. "Poor woman, she's just alone and wants some attention from a hot young man."

"Did you just call me hot?" 

"I... My grandma is calling me."

"Yeah, sure" he chuckled.

"It's true." And as if hearing me, she opened my room's door, turning on the light.

"Sorry to interrupt, sweetie, I heard you laughing" she said. "Are you ready for breakfast?"

"One minute."

"Say hello to your grandma" Rúben said.

"Who is that? Are you talking with a man?" grandma asked, her eyes going wide.

"It's just an Instagram video."

"And why did I hear the word grandma? Who is he?"

"No one."

"Then why is your face so red?" 

"Grandma, it is no one" I insisted.

"Ok... I'll see you downstairs" she said, closing the door.

"Thank you for that, Rúben."

"I was just being polite" he said with an innocent smile.

"Don't you dare smile at me like that" I said, trying to sound pissed. "She's not gonna let it go, you know? She's probably telling my grandad downstairs already."

"And?"

"Yesterday they spent hours trying to find me a boyfriend among the Arsenal players. If they find out I’m talking with a man…"

"You were talking with a friend that happens to be a man. I don't know why you can't tell them that" he shrugged.

"Because they won't believe me. In case you haven't noticed, the colour of my face gives it all away."

"So they'll know you fancy me."

"I don't..."

"You don't like me? C'mon. You've said it yourself, your face gives it all away. And if you didn't like me, you wouldn't have kissed me back. You wouldn't have let me kiss you at all."

“I just… I…”

“You like me. Say it. Make it my Christmas present.”

“What?”

“Repeat after me: I like you, Rúben.”

“I…”

“Yes?” he said while arching an eyebrow, that smirk of his starting to show.

“Fine. I like you, Rúben” I said, covering my face with my free hand the moment those words left my mouth.

“You are so cute” he laughed. “Thank you for making my Christmas morning ten times better.” 

“Yeah, sure” I chuckled, still avoiding to look at him on my screen.

“You did. Anyway, I gotta go check on Ivan. Keep me updated about your day, ok?”

“You too.”

“Merry Christmas, neigbour.”

“Merry Christmas, Rúben.”

━━━━━━❃━━━━━━

“So, who is he?” grandad asked the moment I sat down to have breakfast.

“Who is… Grandma!”

“We have no secrets, sweetie” she shrugged. “And to be honest, your smile right now would have told us something happened, and you know you are the worst at keeping secrets.”

“He is just a friend who happens to be a man, nothing else” I said, repeating what Rúben had told me earlier.

“I’ve never seen you smile like that after speaking with any of your other friends, boys or girls” grandma said. “He must be special.”

“I’m smiling because he made a joke and I was still thinking about it, not because I fancy him.”

“What’s his name?” grandad asked.

“Does it matter?”

“We’ll call him Mr. X, then.”

“Please don’t” I quickly said. “It sounds…”

“Like the name of someone who does movies for adults” grandma giggled.

“Ok, fine. Then at least tell us the first letter of his name.”

“R.”

“Mr. R? Nah, that sounds weird. Richard. Let’s call him Richard. Rich. Richy.”

“Ricky, like Ricky Martin” grandma said. “Is he as attractive as Ricky Martin?”

“The poor girl probably doesn’t know who Ricky Martin is, love” grandad said. “She is too young.”

“I know who he is. But we can call him Richy.” The idea of calling someone the size of Rúben, Richy, was too funny. “And he isn’t ugly.”

“Oh, she is finally telling us something! How did you meet?” grandma asked.

“He is our neighbour.”

“So he is attractive and posh.”

“He isn’t posh.”

“Attractive and rich. He is a catch” grandma winked. “What does he do for a living?”

“He…” I couldn’t say that he was a football player. They would go nuts. “He works for Manchester City.” Which wasn’t a lie. 

“Is he a football player?” grandad asked, raising his voice. “Which players do I know whose name starts with an R?”

“I said that he works for them, not that he is a player.”

“What does he do, then? Work office? If he is living in that building, he must have one of the big and important jobs” grandma said.

“Something like that, yes. I don’t know the details.”

“Rodri?” grandad asked.

“Who?”

“That’s the only City player I know whose name starts with an R. Is he your neighbour? He is Spanish, so is Lucy, and you speak Spanish. It makes sense.”

“She was speaking with him in English, not Spanish. And besides, she said he isn’t a player, he does office work” grandma pointed out.

“Shame. He doesn’t look like a bad lad. Though Ramsdale is way better, you’ll see” grandad said, back to eating his breakfast.

And that’s where the conversation ended, with him going back to talking about tomorrow's game and how excited he was about me meeting Ramsdale.

Random Criminal Case What-Ifs I Came Up With Because Why Not

(BTW, some ideas from my previous fanfic idea list are on here)

[SPOILERS FOR ALL SEASONS AND TW FOR DEATH]

What if Emilio was murdered instead of Tony in “Up in Flames”?

What if, for some contrived reason, Rupert randomly comes back to life during his funeral? (Inspired by comments on Rupert’s CC wiki page)

What if Mortimer spied on Dreamlife instead of Rupert?

What if, for another contrived reason, Arthur survives the events of “To Hell and Back” and the team was forced to fake his death to prevent the demons from hunting him down?

What if Marcus found out that Rita was lying to him and had, in fact, not gone to join the army?

What if Jones killed Tony?

What if Duncan was one of the suspects of “The Final Countdown”?

What if Anbu succeeded in kidnapping Elliot in “A Stab in The Dark”?

What if Lars was the mole, not Angela?

What if Tsukada Hiroshi killed Obaasan in “The Murder Games”?

What if Rozetta was the last Ad Astran standing, not Joe?

What if Lawson found out that “Eddie LeBold” was Diego?

What if Chief King merely turned himself in?

What if Amy was the traitor instead of Frank?

What if Amy killed Nebet?

What if Julian was the victim of “In the Dead of Night” and Freddy was the killer?

What if the player was the victim of “To Kingdom Come”?

What if Jones was your partner in “No Mercy For Old Men”?

What if Ramirez arrived too late to save the day?

What if Jones found out about Tess hypnotizing him?

What if the victim of the case survived the attempt on their life?

(I know this list is was shorter than the fanfic ideas one, but hush-)

Anytime I see the name Chex Mix I think of that song by the Lonely Island where Norah Jones sings about Chex Mix. Anyway, warming up my bitch-slapping hand for Zandick (sic). Sorry if this ask came through already; my page loaded weirdly when I tried to send it the first time.

Machiko I’m losing my mind over this song-

Anyways lore time: About a year ago I was hanging with my two friends Chandra (the dm for our main dnd campaign) and Renza. Chandra had drank a frozen lemonade from Timmies and we were walking through a nearby park where I picked one of those like tiny daisies. As we kept walking, I dared her to eat it, and she did, and then as we were walking past an apartment building she said “I think I’m gonna throw up” followed by her immediately vomiting in the grass. She was fine btw.

Anyways it was time for our next dnd session except a handful of players couldn’t make it, so we decided to play make it meme instead. A lot of the memes were over the daisy incident and things quickly fell apart.

Honestly I think Chark Tank was an underrated name, that and me setting my dnd discord name as Chartaglia. Anyways yeah the gang started calling me Chex Mix after this and I just went with it. Now I’ve been given the name Checkington Crumblemuffin.

I'm super hyped for this and dying to know about the second character

Pretty please?

My time has come

Spoilers!!

The second member os also 15 years old and she's none other than

*drum roll*

Catherine Jones!

Aka Cathy Jones, Casey's little sister.

Like i said in the other ask about Chloe, she represents the vigilantes this time. So now you have a ninja and a vigilante on one team.

She's exactly like her older brother, very an adrenaline junkie. She fanatasized about being a vigilante just lkke her older brother ever since she found him sneaking out of his room one fateful night.

Casey assumed she doesn't know, but she does.

She's wild and doesn't care about other people's opinions about her, she constantly butts heads with Chloe about her decisions as well. She's the resident chill cool guy of the team and will not hesitate to throw hands at someone. She's also the "only o can get to tease my friends" type. Her character flaws is that she's sometimes way too overconfident and that she always follows her emotions, no matter how good or bad it is, she's also known to be quite stubborn, once she starts doing something, she will not stop it.

You might be thinking she's raph's counterpart because of her personality alone.

No.

Her color is purple.

Yes indeed, what a surprise.

Here's her design!!

As you can see there's a lot more going on with her than with Chloe since her personality is much louder, it screams "pay attention", you know?

You can also see her wielding a bat because she's a baseball player. Made her have a sport too so she can have some easy access to diy weapons, and it just fits tbh. I am not that knowledgeable woth baseball, but i'll do my research more later.

You can also notice the red smears on the sketch, it's because she smidges eyeshadow amd eyeliner to make it look like those triangle things clowns have. Since Casey paints his face with a skull, i can see her do the same as well, although she covers her face with a bandana only, so she just adds a lot of eyeshadow around her eyes to make her unrecognisable.

2 down 2 more to go!!

I hope i can do the other two some justice cuz they're much harder to draw kdfnnff

[THIS IS AN EDIT BTW MY ORIGINAL RESPONSE GOT CUT SO I HAD TO REDO]

[southstand]

your theory is not even a theory it's just objectively true. it's why i don't engage with pl football media anymore. the favouritism towards the old guard (great way to put it btw) is abhorrent

yeah after the cl final in 2019 i watched football in an echo chamber of just me myself and i. might be time to go back to that (but i’ll stay here lmaoo!!). gary neville going “oh no, oh no, oh no” as jones was about to get sent off was the cherry on the cake. like why are you going oh no? it was a clear foul studs up and he was reckless and out of control. biss’ ankle would have snapped had he not had a bit of luck and our season would’ve been completely derailed but that doesn’t matter, does it? if it were spurs down to 9 men conceding a goal at the last possible minute, we’d be laughed at and called spursy and our players would’ve been accused of not being disciplined enough. the favouritism is mental and respectfully it’s a right laugh that ppl are making liverpool out to be some sort of underdog club, i’d like for us to be serious for once in our lives 👍🏾

[cosettepontmercys]

Hi! I'm sorry I took a few days to reply. Omg I'm so sorry you don't have a voice right now! That sounds so awful. Just try to drink as much water as possible I guess and hopefully it gets better. I think baking is a lot easier for me too..just because I don't make that many cooking recipes or anything and it's harder to know what dishes to make. I also think it takes a lot longer and same here..everyone is better at it than me and never gives me enough time to learn or anything. But I definitely think it will be a New Year's resolution for me to work on it more and just try harder. I hope your voice has at least gotten a little better since I last replied to you and that you're feeling better overall. Hopefully you can start the new year healthy but I hope you feel better sooner than that haha. The only time I've ever lost my voice is at concerts. I remember after my Taylor show, my sister lost her voice and couldn't talk for three days..but I've never had laryngitis. Well I also enjoy apple pie and I'm a fan of most desserts actually.

I think I will be happy with any vault songs she gives us and some of those are familiar to me too. I'm not sure why she didn't release Let's Go (Battle) but I think Need could be put on rep eventually..even if we know it's for Lover, it almost sounds more like rep. But it also reminds me a little of False God too so I'm not sure. I think she will add Beautiful Eyes to debut honestly which would be good since I don't really listen to it. The holiday album I'm more iffy on but I guess it could come this year maybe? I think I heard a rumor about it so idk.

Well I think I might have been confusing that one with NFU cuz he says I just miss the way that we talk..but I agree that I should give it another listen. But I really liked that one, and Glitter and Honey. I'm sorry you couldn't make the concert..that's such a bummer. Btw Saw you in a Dream is one of my fav songs ever but I actually haven't heard many other songs..just a few besides her newest album and maybe her EP before that. I don't actually know what my vinyl player looks like because it's unopened so I have not played anything on it yet but I hope you find what you're looking for and get lucky.

I liked him and think he will do good in the role but only saw one clip so far which was Wait For Me. I will have to look for more. Ooh who is the euryidice stunt cast? I hadn't heard about it. I still haven't got a chance to watch the parade performances or any Dancing performances actually. The only thing I saw was Taylors tour choreographer talking about the Vigilante Shit chair dance which is cool. She is the same choreographer who worked on the La La Land movie so that's pretty cool and I love the dancing in that movie so maybe I will watch a few. I also like the dancers in the tour during Lover and Enchanted.

Well I guess one goal I have is to finish more books that I start lol. Then of course finish the ones I'm in the middle of right now which is going to be paired up with a few on the list. My sister wants to read more too and I have a few in mind we can read together already that we never got to..which is the ones about twins and also the Night Circus. We also started Daisy Jones together a long time ago. Read more books that I own and are on my shelf and I made the goal of reading two books a month so far so we'll see how that goes. Wow that also is the same number of the year which is 24! So hopefully I stick to that. I also said that this year and failed miserably lol. I think I only read two full books this year and maybe two I was in the middle of from the previous year lol. Or maybe I will try to finish one or two I'm in the middle of right now before the year ends. I do not know many upcoming releases yet but Emily Henry and Carly Fortune are definitely two I'm looking forward to and the If he had been with me sequel. So I am supposed to reread that with my sister maybe next month since it comes out in February I think. Or Night Circus and Starless Sea too..idk cuz maybe those will take more than a month though. If you have any other books you think we can read together this year let me know. There is also the Today Tonight Tomorrow sequel and I hope to read the first one as it gets closer. What are some upcoming ones you're looking forward to?

So the movie was good! Like it was a pretty good and faithful adaptation I think. But I also didn't love it as much as other people really seem to either. It felt like they changed a few little things from the book or maybe just cuz I speed read it..oops. Although I'm not sure if you would get it as much if you didn't read the book..like if it would be confusing. I filled in a few things for my sister for example. I feel like the narration in the book made things clearer that was hard to show in the movie. The performances were good though at least. I liked the songs but I need to listen to the soundtrack again. It did not feel like the kind of movie I would wanna watch again really and it was kinda long. In fact it just made me want to rewatch the Hunger Games again and those movies were a lot better. It's just my opinion though I guess. I do like all the edits I've been seeing or connections and reading people's analysis though. I think we are also going to see the Renaissance movie this weekend too and I will probably enjoy that more lol. Although I'm worried it looks more like a documentary of the tour than the full concert..which kinda sucks cuz we didn't get to go.

I know she's been working on it a lot so I guess I wonder what will happen. What genre would you hope for in her new music? I've always wanted her to try more rock honestly so it makes sense why I loved I Can See You so much. I know it might be about her breakup though so I'm not really sure. Red also had hints of rock like State of Grace which is another one of my top favorites so I still have some hope. I also wonder if the music she's working on now could be for her upcoming film too..which it seems like no one has considered. That's so awesome that you saw all of your faves live this year..omg! If I ended up going to Paramore..then I could have said the same haha. They are definitely going to be one of my top artists haha. So I got Say Don't Go right technically but I think that was the only one. I also forgot that she already sang Afterglow or else I wouldn't have guessed it. Yes omg! I think that was my favorite pairing of these shows but I would've been fine with Innocent and Now we don't Talk. I love Say Don't Go but dislike it's Time to Go lol. Now that she's resetting the surprise songs next year, it will be harder to guess..which also makes it more fun! She also says there's extended version of the movie for her bday but didn't mention Cardigan in that list. Also she just put You're Losing Me on streaming finally. Maybe I will finally appreciate this song more but its also kinda just there for me lol. I wish I liked it more. I think it's honestly one of my least favorites out of all the songs she has released this year so hopefully TS11 has better songs. I hope you feel better and continue to have a good week. Happy wonderful Wednesday!!! 🩷

hi friend !! it has been ... ten (?) days without a voice now, which is just very frustrating but i'm mostly still in good spirits! the one downside is that my friend is coming into town friday through sunday, and i'm worried i won't have a voice by then still. but i can't really do anything about that, so we'll see. might have to continue doing text to speech robot voice! it's her first time in seattle too which makes it all the more interesting! but yes, staying hydrated, sitting next to the humidifier and just hoping i'll feel better soon! i went back to my best friend, the doctor's, and he gave me some new medication yesterday so hopefully that'll do it's magic soon! i'm surprised that i didn't lose my voice from eras weekend at all, but i did from boston (although that one is more so because i got sick → got laryngitis). guess it also makes a huge difference that eras took place over the summer!

what's your favorite dessert? mine is a toss up between black forest cake (what my mom makes for my birthday every year), tiramisu, and chocolate cake! but i also love oatmeal raisin cookies (probably my personal favorite thing to bake). my mom's also really good at baking bread, and i definitely need to pay more attention to her little tips and tricks when she does!

oh i could see the false god/need comparison! two of my close friends really want need to be released, and i hope it is for their sakes! i would loveeee the holiday album to come soon but i feel like it might be a "end of tour" gift next year? maybe? if tour is even over by then?

i was listening to i miss you already + i haven't left yet on vinyl yesterday as i worked! was thinking of you 🤍 i do think i still like his debut album more than i miss you already, but i also have listened to that one more/longer/etc. so maybe it's just recency bias! i feel like i'm starting to get burnt out (?) on new music? if that makes sense. but i'm also really excited for the holly/MUNA into your room, and then noah kahan/gracie abrams everything everywhere remixes that come out this week! but i think that's different since it's not new new music? i've been listening to fruitcake ep by sabrina carpenter a lot though! that one's really fun. saw you in a dream is soooo good and i also really like f a r a w a y ! but sunshine baby is definitely my favorite.

i heard rumors about lizzy mcalpine as eurydice? which i don't know how to feel about! for many reasons! here's an audioboot, if you're so inclined! i did see that quote and i thought that was really cool! i'm really excited that eras movie will be on streaming; i've got like ~ $25 amazon digital credits saved up, so i'm going to be streaming it on her birthday i think! just a little something fun! i notice new things every time, and i like picking a dancer — or two — to focus on! i would love to see a a BTS documentary of eras after it's done; i'm so curious about the quick changes, the rehearsal process, etc.

two books is still two more than you previously read! it's not a competition, and reading is supposed to be fun!! i almost started a new book tonight but i was too tired and then i remembered i haven't replied to you yet so i grabbed my laptop to do so! i think i'm going to try to work more on my les mis/night circus annotations tomorrow, and that'll probably be the last time i get to read until sunday or monday! i also need to update my reading thread — and make my 2024 reading tracker in google sheets! so much to do! i usually do a post on my book blog for 2024 anticipated releases, but i'm SO out of it that i can't even think of anything aside from my friends' books that are coming out!

i've never seen the hunger games movies aside from the first one, but i think what i want to do is do a series reread, watch the movies, read tbosas, then see it? maybe? or maybe read them all then watch them all? i have no idea! but all my friends have been talking to me about it and i have to be like WAIT I HAVEN'T READ IT YET DON'T SAY ANYTHING !!! it definitely has taken over my entire fyp, and i'm always in awe of how good people's editing skills are! i hope it's the full concert; you'll have to let me know how it is since i won't be seeing it for a while (if i end up seeing it)!!

i'm also not the biggest fan of it's time to go! i love the "but i've got me" line and think it's so symbolic of how this entire tour has been for her, and hearing her sing it live has definitely made me like it a bit more but i'm still not the biggest fan of it for some reason! out of all the surprise song combos in 2023, which one was your favorite? i wonder if cardigan will be on the streaming version, or in a physical DVD exclusive? we'll just have to wait and see! feels weird for her to exclude just cardigan. i did not expect her to release YLM today! i woke up and my phone was blowing up from friends about it haha! i do like it more with you know, proper production, dolby atmos, etc. and not ripped from an audio somewhere, but it's definitely not my favorite!

hope you have a good rest of your week!! 🤍 are you doing anything fun this weekend/anything you're looking forward to in december? love you!

Alright, since the prompt for CC Inkember day 4 was about Rachel Priest - Truth (nice prompt btw!), I would just like to talk about her murder case, The Secret Experiments and the circumstances surrounding her death. (and maybe CC’s representation of [female] journalists in general?)

She was an honest, fearless journalist who did everything in her power to get to the truth to open the masses’ eyes to the corruption and evil in Grimsborough. Sadly, she had to die for it.

Rachel’s story leading up to her death just hit too close to home. Our country’s pretty much the most dangerous place for journalists. If you write a story against the government (even if it’s backed up by evidence), you could be branded as a ‘terrorist’, jailed, or even killed. I used to be a campus journalist back in high school, and the press freedom is so poor to the point that those things even happen to people my own age back then. I heard stories about my fellow campus journalists being sent to the principal’s office because of an article they wrote about the president and people I know having guns pointed at them just because they were voicing their opinions. Hell, even my own parents would chastise the articles I wrote and call me a ‘terrorist’ because of it.

What doesn’t help as well is the rampant misinformation and disinformation going on too. Because of this, journalists get discredited and the people are losing faith in them. Even the first NOBEL PRIZE WINNER in our country is being discredited and criticized just because she exposed the corruption regarding the war on drugs in our country.

However in our country, I can’t blame the lower classes because honestly, proper media literacy is a privilege to them, and our government is taking advantage of their vulnerability.

They may say that journalism is supposed to be fair and neutral, but I disagree. That’s why I admire Rachel Priest so much; her unwavering tenacity to the truth despite all the warnings is so admirable. However, she was quite lucky that Jones and the player were able to sense something was up with her and investigate her case, exposing Alden Greene, the marshal and inevitably Crimson Order as well. If they never discovered the story behind her death, then they could’ve twisted the story in their favor.

Another thing that bothers me is Carl Ackerman’s role in Rachel’s death. I know he didn’t know that she could’ve possibly died for it, he was underpaid and he felt guilty about her death in the end. While he was a journalist too in his own way (he filmed Rachel’s journalistic stories), he should’ve not sold her research to the person she was investigating in the first place. But at the same time, he was also an underpaid journalist. The fact that Rachel wasn’t able to pay him properly also shows that Rachel was also being underpaid in a way. It doesn’t excuse what Carl did, but it also shows the reality of being a journalist; sometimes, they have to sacrifice their oath to the truth and their integrity just because they’re being underpaid.

To a lesser extent, I also love Katherine Woolf and her role as a journalist in MoTP. Like Rachel, she was bold and tenacious to the truth. And when Lawson banned the freedom of the press, once again it felt too close to home xD She was also jailed and almost executed for being outspoken during Lawson’s regime, but luckily the Flying Squad was there.

That being said, I really love CC’s realistic portrayal of journalists in seasons 1 and 4. However, since it still is fiction, those journalists were lucky that their truth still came out no matter what happened to them. But despite real life barely having happy endings, it’s nice to know that CC motivates future journalists to fight for the truth that the common people deserve to know.

Talking about some players (Back story , personality & Relationship with their partners )

[Unnamed] Alias Terrence (unofficial) - Grimsborough and conspiracy Player

Backstory (Grimsborough time): An orphan boy at the age of 13, That also drink and smoke at the legal age , at 18 he had different jobs All the time To help his Uncle (not family related but very close together) but when his Uncle Died He then joins the Police department ( his Uncle was friends with chief king so)

Backstory ( conspiracy ) : Bro just moved out from Grimsborough cause of Family Problems But then he decided To come back to Grimsborough and spend his life with old and new friends

Personality : The tired Friend and the Reponsible dad personality also probably sometimes him being sarcastic kind of guy and also confrotal but overall he is Still had some caring energy but express it his own way

Relationship : Eh don't know How to describe the Relationship so I will put in a conversation hope y'all understand

with Jones(at conspiracy Cause that's the only I. can come out with )

Jones :" At Terrence Ahaha You came!"*With chearful tone and proceeding to hug Terence*

Terrence:"Hey Bud-"*Gets hug*

Jones : "So How was everything !"

Terrence :" eh it's going great but at least Loosened the hug"

Jones :" aha Just get excited a little!"

Terrence: " Huh really?" In a sarcastic tone

Jones :" oh Come on don't Pull that Sarcastic tone we just reunite"

Terrence :" fine as long you didn't do stupid stuff like always"*Chuckles*

Jones: "Hey!"

Terrence:*Chuckles*" Seriously Don't do stupid stuff remember when you eat that cookie and got poisoned"

Jones : " right I still remember but now I am more responsible y'know"

Terrence :"okay guess you really did improve yourself"

Jones:"let's go Meet the others at the department c'mon"

Terrence :" Hey slow down I just Got here " *Chuckles* " Still the same as before"

Then he died and became a victim at least one case before blaze of glory

M.m King's note : eh I am lazy to write the others relationship so have Jones instead I hope I describe Terrence personality correct so as his relationship with Jones Probably make one with Gloria But now probably stay tuned for pacific bay I am using the website cause of my low storage and app hoarding problem so it's quite laggy and bad grammar English is my second language this is unofficial btw so if you have any ideas Pls comment

Synopsis: had a dream, explaining it

I had a dream where I was watching a gameplay of a game called “The Sleep” basically that game’s premise was that you play as a woman named Jones Mary as you explore her dreams in a point and click in-browser type game. The title screen looks like a sunset with the black bold text “The Sleep” plainly written on it with SpongeBob on the side of the screen, not doing anything. The person who was playing the game clicked play on the menu and then we were placed in a room called “The Mirror room”. The person playing the game (it’s not me btw) questioned why SpongeBob was still there and clicked on him, the game prompted a text box that said something along the lines of “SpongeBob is Jones’s favorite character, ever since she was a child” implying that Jones is now an adult, maybe she kins SpongeBob who knows? But anyway, four options we’re given and the player clicks on one of them taking us to a bedroom and then there’s a massive gap in my memory. Cue the end card representing the end of Jones’s dream that night. The I don’t remember them but I now there were about four or five other episodes of this let’s play series,, but I don’t remember them. Anyway, the player opens the game and does a normal YouTuber greeting and says that in the game they’re on “week 2” I don’t really remember the bulk of week two but I do know that week two introduced interactive NPCs and also lore. But I do remember the first few minutes of Monday-week 3.SpongeBob is in the mirror room with a staggering TWELVE OPTIONS of other rooms to go in, what the hell did I miss in week two where we had options like this?? Anyway, the player went into the break room and it looked like a dilapidated office break room, the lights were off. The character started to walk forward and then the player screamed and seemed very confused/uncomfortable. Under one of the tables, a stock photo of Snow White was crudely chopped apart and covered in blood (like the kind of blood you’d see in a kids drawing, kinda scribbled everywhere in red marker?) the player walked pasted after seeing she was non-interact-able, and then I white text appears at the top of the screen saying “don’t mind Belle” as more and more things happen the more the white text box covers the screen telling you not to worry about it, further worrying the player at the end the text box starts to stutter, literally. It doesn’t know what to say, it says “don’t worry about Belle, she’s just asleep. Don’t worry about *blank*, you know how men are. *more blanks but overall it was just “don’t worry about it”* -“don’t worry about- I uh, don’t worry about -you? I can’t-“ (text doesn’t translate well in dreams for me it was a miracle I could even make it this far) and then I woke up.

I think I’m gonna do a explanation (or at least I think so) in a separate post.

1, 3, 5, 7, 9 :) (this is @mostarkey btw)

1. How long have you been collecting vinyl?

not too long actually, definitely less than a year, since i only got a record player some time after i got into led zeppelin and that was about a year ago. my brother's been collecting vinyl since he was in like middle school tho, and i have a handful of beatles records i bought with him around then that he let me have

3. What are the coolest discs you own? (Colored, transparent, etc) Show us!

ooh okay so dont have any just normal colored vinyl but i have two 10" 78 rpm records, The Blue Danube / You Always Hurt The One You Love by Spike Jones and his City Slickers, which is a shellac phonograph record from 1946 meant for the Victor-Victrola, and Yes! We Have No Bananas / Waitin' For The Evenin' Mail by Billy Jones / Earnest Hare, which is an Edison Diamond Disc Record from 1923 meant for the Edison Disc Phonograph (both pictured next to a regular beatles vinyl record for scale)

also edison disc records are Thicc™ (about a quarter of an inch)

i also have a 7" 33 1/3 rpm green cardboard disc of How Lovely Is Christmas by Bing Crosby from Bing Crosby Phonocards Inc, which was issued as a publicity item for Goodyear Tires (i'm not Exactly sure how old this one is, but it's somewhere between 1957 and 1963. the cardboard is slightly bent but it still plays perfectly)

and then lastly this isnt a disc but we have an old record album we got that we keep a lot of our singles in :)

5. Which artist’s records do you own the most of?

oh boy im too tired to go check for sure but im almost certain it's the beatles because of all those ones i got in middle school lmao

7. Best find? (Rare vinyl for dirt cheap, etc)

all the ones i listed for 3 and then also Voyager by Kings of Anything (they're a really good local rock band. go listen to them. or else 🔪)

9. What kind of record player do you have?

a pink crosley because im poor (and gay) and it was cheap lol

Being a Team Player

Being a Team PlayerAre we successful, have our goals been reached and are we content with our business. When it comes to Real Estate sales we have to keep asking ourselves these questions, after all, we are self employed. What makes this work for those that are successful seems to be split, either you are very driven, and working at it all the time or you are part of a well oiled team. In the years that I have been involved in Real Estate, I have noticed that the team players have more leisure time and are just less stressed. This is because the workload is delegated and it's assumed that everyone is doing their job. So what does this have to do with us, well independent contractor's such as PropertyTours can also be part of many teams and the difference is how we interact. Why would you want to have me on your team, whether you are a lone wolf or establish team, my answer would be stress, or the lack of it. - Instead of 'Someone find a photographer' it would be 'Did you call Bill' - How soon will the turn around be, will be known. - Will the pictures look like their website, will be known. BTW every property taken is posted on our website, no surprises even if this our first time working together. - Can they fit us in, I'm part of the team, of course I'll work you in. - It's a long way out there, if I'm shooting all your properties then it averages out. - I only list one home a year, doesn't matter, it's more about the relationship and next year will be easier than this year.. - And if your busy, I have RMLS access, and am fully insured. This email is about relationships. I want to be part of your team, not a commodity. And in return, you have a photographer that provides HDR images, 360 3D tours, drone images and video as well as video walk abouts on your team. Bill Jones - 503-550-7774   Read the full article

Gossipanon👋🏻 I agree, Freddie has dropped off and I think it’s more noticeable because we’re so used to him being good, and because everyone is so poor currently you’re more drawn to look at where the biggest drop offs are.

I think it’s strange generally that his decline has come as soon as Tigers coaches have taken over at England. You’d think it would have the opposite effect given the pre-existing relationship. And I do believe it’s 90% to do with that, because he didn’t have a bad game that I can recall under EJ, at least never consistently. Maybe a lot to do with mentality too… 2+ bad games on the bounce is bound to knock your confidence🤷‍♀️

I know you have to give these things time, but I really can’t see this going anywhere good with the current coaching set up. I think the board will get rid of them if we fail to make it out of the group stage, as they should. Manifesting Andy Farrell back one day😅 maybe this will be a good wake up call! That being said, the players are still partly to blame.

Georgie is alrighty

Also still don't understand the hype still present and the disbelief that will occur on Marcus Smith some fans are very flying high.

How can you still think it is a question of players change and that Smith Mitchell or Care axes will help us win anything. No offense to them we just are so average to poor in All aspects of the game??? We are gonna lose against argentina 100000% AND Japan without any surprises. We once were in final against south africa after winning against all blacks. I am against the fear regime of Eddie Jones but you must admit he pulled this team from a nightmare cave to zenith.

They both did loved Jack so I should not be worried about him being back , from Eddie to Steve to Wiggy .... but still unsure about my honeyboo future

So you are a +1 in the team saying Fred changed : interesting , it is a privilegied circle welcome on board 🤣

I reckon that it looks like the target and final aim has changed for all of them ? He used to talk lot more about his international counterpart as well ? Still baffled by JvP NEVER mentionong Antoine btw... It is avoidance at this rate. They used to compare themselves , to be critical over their performances now I Feel like they are arrogant for absolutely Nothing worthy ?

What are the reasons according to you. What is different from what he did with Leicester and National team ? I have read some potential answers but I want to read your ideas. Why peeling off from Leicester all the coaching staff if it is to do zero improvement with it. What clicked at Leicester that doesn't at England ? 🤔

They will never pass the pool.

What are the problems with players then except they are old and it is a weird mix. They are supposed to be the best of the best from England
