[rmd-writes]

a love note (and some fics)

Sometimes I wonder if there's really anything bigger out there - the universe, some kind of higher power, fate - and then I think about how extremely lucky I am that I became obsessed with a certain tv show and its characters at just the right time so that I could befriend someone who then introduced me to a particular book at exactly the right time to fall in love with those characters as well. And then, because of my need to have more of those characters, I went looking for more stories about them at exactly the right time to meet a group of people (some of them together, some of them later, but that doesn't matter) who would go on to become my friends.

There must be something, right? To bring together a group of people who live in five to seven different time zones depending on the time of year. To create my safest spaces on the internet. To share not just our love for a book and its characters, but parts of our lives with each other. To have them all wedge themselves into the soft spaces of my heart and never leave.

I've been thinking about this a lot over the last two weeks, because those people conspired and collaborated to gift me a collection of 10 incredible fics for a milestone birthday (tomorrow!) - even though some of them haven't written fic for months and months, or don't write for this fandom at all anymore, or have recently been finding it hard to make words work and finish fics, or are just plain busy with other projects and life. That they took the time to find and make words for me means everything and more 💖💖

I've been absolutely overwhelmed with love these past 10 days (probably to the surprise of no one, I have cried at every single fic drop and I'm crying writing this now). So, I want to share the wonderful fics that they've written for me with you all because it's the least I can do to pay it forward and they're objectively stellar fics. If you haven't come across them already then you should definitely add them to your to read lists/open tabs/MFL. Please show my friends some love and read their work.

Day 2 - Buenos Aires

Ben wakes up at 4:30am but Jack manages to sleep until a more respectable time. First stop of the day is to go to Western Union to collect some Pesos. The money situation here is complex and bizarre but basically because of the high inflation and Argentinians distrust of their own currency they have limits on how many USD they can buy. This has created a black market (called the Blue Dollar) for exchange which charges them a higher rate but works out good for tourists. Rather than doing this and having to bring USD notes we opted for a Western Union transfer which currently gives an even better rate than the Blue Dollar.

Once we managed to find the store we collect our wads of notes and stash them in our backpack and head off to try and buy a Subte (subway) card. This proves more challenging…the station has run out and we need to get to the city for our 10:30am walking tour. Overhearing our confusion in trying to understand the station staff, a kind stranger helps us out in translation. It turns out we need to walk 4 blocks to another station, and the kind stranger who lives in New York but is originally from Spain is also heading to the same walking tour and needs a card too. So we head off with our new amigo on a mission to find one of these elusive cards. 20 minutes and multiple enquiries later and having paid more than we should have we are finally proud owners of a Sube card.

We make it to the start of the tour Teatro Colón - a very impressive building. This is more the Buenos Aires I was expecting. Our excellent guide takes us on a three hour walking tour of the Recoleta and Retiro areas…some of the wealthiest areas of the city that were developed during the early 1900s. The architecture continued to impress with all of the palaces from wealth aristocratic families lining the streets.

We have a 90min stop for lunch before our second walking tour this arvo - perfect for a long lunch we think. There is a restaurant near to the end of our tour that was recommended to us so we head there. We opt for the set menu lunch - red wine, empanadas, a spring salad, coffee and ice cream.

After an hour we realise that 90mins is not that long to get through all of that and we rush down as much ice cream as we can fit before dashing for a bus. Everything in BA seems quite spread out and taking the Subte isn’t usually the quickest method. We wouldn’t normally opt for a bus but it’s apparently quicker than an Uber, the traffic is heavy and there is a protest near the end of the trip against privatisation of the biggest bank. Whilst it seems quite big it’s nowhere near as big as the one a few days earlier related to cuts to public education that drew 500k people onto the streets. We end up being 10mins late but they haven’t started yet.

The afternoon tour is quite different to the morning tour - it starts at Congress and covers Palacio Barolo, Evita, the Mothers of Plaza de Mayo (who bravely protested against the military dictatorship to find answers on their missing children), the Argentinian economy & political situation and ended up at Casa Rosada (Pink Government House).

Lots of steps later and still jet lagged so we needed a nap to be able to make it to dinner at a respectable time in Argentina.

We head out for dinner in Palermo at 9pm and have our first steak. It’s easily one of the best steaks I’ve had. It comes with egg, provolone cheese, potatoes and other fried veggies and a salad. All washed down with a bottle of Malbec. Not the healthiest dinner but delicious! We go to pay the bill but I’ve realised that I brought $10,000 instead of $100,000 so onto the credit card it goes - oops.

Next we head to a bar where we bumped into a guy from our afternoon tour - another New Yorker! After chatting for a while we don’t get back home until 1:30am 😴😴😴

[gachagon]

Also I just noticed this but in the end of the Menu, all the guests do one small act of kindness before they officially kick the bucket.

the "three amigos" decide to split the bill together one last time instead of just offloading it onto one of them.

The reporter for the magazine decides to still pay for the critics tab even though he's about to die. She was going to pay for it herself, but he still insisted despite that. He was also the only man in this entire movie who was still loyal to his partner even in the end T_T good for reporter man here <3

the wife and husband decide to pay together as well despite everything that's happened between them.

the "failed actor" decides to pay for both him and his date despite everything that happened between them as well

and lastly, Margot paid 10 bucks for her cheeseburger, and then let them keep the change!

How Much is a Vape? Unraveling the Mystery with a Dash of Humor

Imagine stepping into a store where everything's a gadget from a sci-fi movie—some are sleek and flashy like a spaceship, while others seem more like they were cobbled together in someone’s garage. Welcome to the world of vaping, where the variety and complexity of devices can make you feel like you’ve just walked into a tech convention crossed with a fashion show. Choosing a vape can sometimes feel like selecting a drink at a bar where the menu is in Klingon. But fear not! Whether you're about to embark on your vaping journey or just looking to upgrade your setup without dipping into your vacation fund, this guide is here to demystify what that shiny new gadget is going to cost you. Let’s light up the facts (figuratively speaking, of course) and puff our way through the economics of vaping. The Basics of Vaping Technology First things first: What exactly is a vape? In the simplest terms, a vape device is a peace treaty between technology and your nicotine cravings (or flavor cravings for the non-nicotine crowd). At its heart, any vape comprises three amigos: the battery, the atomizer, and the e-liquid. The battery is your fuel tank, the atomizer is the engine, and the e-liquid is, well, the flavorful cargo. Back in the day, vaping started with those cig-a-likes at gas stations, but now we’ve got more types of devices than flavors of soda. From small, discreet pens to big, cloud-chucking mods, vaping technology has evolved faster than your smartphone’s obsolescence cycle. If you think the jump from flip phones to smartphones was something, the vape evolution is kind of like going from a pager to an iPhone overnight. Types of Vapes and Their Cost Speaking of variety, let's break down the main contenders: 1. Disposable Vapes: These are the instant noodles of the vape world—cheap, convenient, and perfect for the commitment-phobic. Typically, they’ll run you anywhere from $5 to $20. Ideal for parties or trying out vaping without committing to a relationship. 2. Vape Pens: A step up in both commitment and price. These handy devices are sleek, straightforward, and can cost you about $20 to $50. They’re like having a dependable car that doesn’t need much but occasionally asks for gas. 3. Mods: Here’s where things get serious. Mods are customizable, powerful, and not afraid to show it. Prices can vary wildly from $30 to over $100, depending on how much horsepower you want under the hood. It’s the sports car of the vape world. 4. Pod Systems: The clever middle-ground between pens and mods. Pods are user-friendly with a bit more oomph than your average pen. Expect to spend about $20 to $50, which isn’t bad for getting the best of both worlds. Each type has its quirks. Disposables might leave you hanging during a vape shortage, while mods might need more upkeep than a needy Tamagotchi. But whatever your choice, there’s a price tag attached that reflects its features and flexibility. Factors Influencing the Cost of Vapes Not all vapes are created equal, and neither are their price tags. Several factors can jack up the cost: Quality of Materials: Plastic or titanium? The choice of materials can either save you a lot of money or add a zero to your bill. Brand Reputation: Just like sneakers, sometimes you pay for the name. The vape world has its own Nikes and Adidas, and prestige can cost you. Tech Features: Some vapes come with apps, touchscreen controls, and even voice recognition. It's like choosing between a basic phone or the latest flagship. Adding these features can turn your vape from a bicycle into a motorcycle in terms of price. Just remember, the more bells and whistles, the bigger the dent in your wallet. Maintenance and Ongoing Costs Buying a vape isn’t a one-and-done deal. Like owning a car, there are running costs. E-liquids are your fuel, and coils are akin to oil changes. Regularly buying juice can cost you about $10 to $30 a month, and coils can add an extra $5 to $20, depending on how often you vape. Here’s a fun fact: maintaining a vape can be cheaper than other hobbies. It’s definitely less expensive than, say, golf, where you not only buy clubs but also pay for every round. And unlike golf, you won’t lose your vape in a lake (hopefully). Watch the video below. https://youtu.be/Ik2GYPGx3f4 Where to Buy Vapes: Finding the Best Deals Navigating the bustling market of vape shops and online stores can feel like trying to find a quiet spot at a rock concert. Whether you're a seasoned vaper or a curious newcomer, knowing where to shop and what to watch out for can save you from buyer's remorse and ensure your vaping journey is as smooth as a well-oiled atomizer. Local Vape Shops: Starting with the brick-and-mortar route, local vape shops offer a hands-on experience that online shopping just can't match. Here, you can get face-to-face advice from vaping veterans, test flavors, and even get a tutorial on how to maintain your device. The catch? Prices at physical stores can be higher due to overhead costs. But, if you value service and instant gratification, paying a few extra dollars might be worth it. Online Retailers: For those who prefer shopping in their pajamas, online vape stores are a treasure trove of options. Not only can you find almost every type of vape product under the sun, but prices are often lower than in physical stores. The key to winning at the online game is to verify the authenticity of products (watch out for counterfeits!) and to check customer reviews. Sites like DirectVapor, VaporDNA, and MyVaporStore are popular for their wide selections and reputable service. Deals and Discounts: Whether you're browsing online or walking into a shop, keeping an eye out for sales and promotions can lead to substantial savings. Signing up for newsletters can give you an edge with access to exclusive deals and first dibs on new products. Also, consider buying in bulk, especially for e-liquids, as many retailers offer discounts on larger purchases. Conclusion Navigating the vibrant and varied world of vaping doesn't have to be as mysterious as a foggy night in Vape Town. Starting with a basic understanding of the technology behind vapes—comprising the battery, atomizer, and e-liquid—we explored the landscape where these devices evolve from simple tools to sophisticated gadgets. How much is a Vape? We then categorized vapes into disposables, pens, mods, and pods, highlighting how each carries its own price tag influenced by factors like material quality, brand prestige, and tech features. We also discussed the ongoing costs associated with maintenance, such as e-liquids and parts, which are vital for keeping your vape in top shape. When it comes to purchasing, we learned that whether you choose to visit local shops for immediate satisfaction and expert advice or hunt for bargains online, being vigilant about deals and wary of too-good-to-be-true offers is crucial. By understanding these aspects, you're better prepared to make informed decisions, ensuring your vaping experience is both enjoyable and cost-effective.

Stockholm Week 11-2: Marvelous Days in Barcelona!!! 

Barcelona post is finally here!

Let's get started right away, starting with my flight to Barcelona.

3/27 Wed: Park Güell.ᐟ.ᐟ.ᐟ 

It was my second 6 am flight and I knew the drills. Night bus, Flygbussarna, airport. 

We safely landed in Barcelona and arrived at our hotel to store our luggage before the check-in. 

Our neighborhood was so cute 

The first event I scheduled was the guided tour at Park Güell. 

On the way up the steep hills, I stopped to get the first gelato in Spain. He let me taste three different flavors before choosing - my pick was Strawberry 🍓

I didn’t know I signed up for hiking—walking up all those stairs made me go out of breath. However, the view from the top of the hill was magnificent. 

Birds were greeting us when we finally arrived at the entrance. They were so cute < 3

The guide explained the meanings and purpose behind the structures and architecture. Gaudi’s use of geography and geometry was intricate to the point that it was unreal.  

I walked around for another hour or so to capture everything before I leave 

The guide told us that there is no official documentation of Gaudi, just assumptions formulated around his work. Therefore, the tour gave me a sneak peek into Gaudi’s alleged thoughts and life. 

While we waited for our two other friends to arrive in Barcelona, we walked around La Rambla at night. I couldn’t capture it but it was so alive and attractive. I stopped by multiple shops and got postcards for 1 euro each! 

After walking to the end of the road, we stopped by the port. 

It would’ve been a cute fountain if a stream of water came out from its mouth

All four of us united for dinner at 10 pm. The paella we ordered was huge -- we were glad that we didn’t order two since it would've taken us hours to finish it.

Delicious chicken paella! 

3/28 Thu: Casa Batlló, Picasso Museum, Shôko 

In the morning, we all met up outside of Casa Batlló. As tourists, we didn’t forget to take a billion photos. 

The building looked like it was flowing because of the shapes that were used  

We moved on to Sagrada Familia, where my two friends had a tour scheduled. I had my guided tour booked for Saturday, so I stayed outside and took more pictures in front of Sagrada Familia. 

It’s scheduled to finish construction by 2034, but that’s if EVERYTHING goes well

While my two friends were busy doing the tour, we went to the beach area and rested there for a bit before heading to try our first menu del dia at the restaurant called Granja Los Amigos. Menu del dia is a cheap Spanish course lunch where you typically get a first meal, a second meal, and a dessert of your choice with drinks on the side. The flan at this place was so good that I scraped the dish after I ate all of it -- and I don’t even like flan/puddings! 

This was 12 euros for me! 

Picasso Museum was our next destination. We got in for 7 euros per person (youth price!) and it was totally worth it. Observing thousands of Picasso’s authentic artworks was an experience. 

I did not know but Picasso had a lot of connections with Barcelona: he studied here and met many Spanish artists during his stay. Picasso continuously donated his works to Barcelona!

Afterward, we walked around the vicinity (terrace and cathedrals everywhere) and ate nonstop. Tacos at Rosa Negra (highly recommend), authentic churros, concluding with a drink at night club Shoko. Shoko was located right next to the beach, so we didn’t miss the chance for a walk on the beach too! 

I spy… Jiwoo edition

3/29 Fri: Barcelona Beach + Sunset at Carmel Bunkers, Razzmatazz

Friday morning started with a restaurant failing us for the first time -- Quimet & Quimet was a tapas place I really wanted to go to, but it was closed when we got there. I fully trusted Google Maps but Google did not know that they were closed during the Easter weekend :(

So we went straight to the beach and ate brunch there. The vibes and the food were both great! 

There was a flea market going on along the beach. As a raven that likes shiny things, I could not pass without buying a bracelet and a ring :) 

We sat on the beach for a while and proceeded to get drinks to relax even more.

Yum yum

Even though it was a bit chilly with the wind in late March, Playa de la Barceloneta was packed with people.

We could stare at the beach for hours and hours if it wasn’t for the wind trying to freeze us 

After absorbing all the sunlight we couldn’t get in Stockholm, we moved on to Bunkers del Carmel. It is a popular spot for sunset and night views of Barcelona. Watching the graceful sunset and gradual illumination by the city lights was something I didn’t know I needed. We were so sad that we couldn’t stay past 7:30 pm (the police kicked everyone out), but we got a glimpse of Barcelona at night as we walked downhill. 

Bunkers del Carmel is a must-visit place in Barcelona!!! Don’t forget to bring a jacket though! It gets cold at night 

The last event of the night was visiting Razzmatazz, but it wasn’t as good as we thought it would be. But the tickets included a free drink, so we took advantage of that :) 

It was so big that we got lost a couple of times - we could go into any room in the two three-story buildings 

3/30 Sat: Boqueria Market and Sagrada Familia 

And the morning of the highlight of my Barcelona trip has come. 

For brunch, we visited Mercado de la Boqueria. They mainly sold fresh fruits, seafood, jamón, and snacks. I tried fresh mango, chocolate-covered strawberries, pastry, empanadas, and octopus (this was the best).

I can say for certain that you’ll find at least one thing you like in that market. 

I had a guided tour of La Sagrada Familia at 1 pm, so I ran (took the metro) to get there on time. The guide explained everything in and out, from the meaning of the colors to the sculptures. All I can say is that Gaudi was a talented genius who even worked hard for his passions. 

Please please please do the guided tours if you’re visiting La Sagrada Familia! It was definitely worth the price for me

After the tour, I stayed for an hour or so more in the church. I walked around and sat down in the church, constantly getting fascinated by its beauty. 

We sat at the beach (again) until we got hungry. We walked around, got some snacks, and stopped by their Airbnb to charge our phones. 

For dinner, we went to a restaurant called El Tros de la Rambla. We got two seafood paellas and GOSH it was the BEST meal I’ve had SINCE I CAME TO EUROPE. It was beyond delicious -- they must’ve done something to that cause I would eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner if possible. I loved it so much that I decided to leave a review on Google Maps, but Google declined my review because it thought I got incentivized to write a fake review(...) 

It was that good! 

Following our successful meal, the last gelato in Spain was successful as well. We arrived at Gianduia, the 4.9-star gelato place, 10 minutes before the closing time but the worker was so nice (•̥̥̥ᴗ•̥̥̥)

Objectively best gelato place in Spain -- strawberry and yogurt mwah 

We sat on the steps of the cathedral, listening to people singing in the alleys, eating our gelato, and taking our time to feel the festive atmosphere of Spain. 

3/31 Sun: Barcelona to Malta~~~

I was writing this blog in Stockholm Airport, waiting to get on the plane to Malta. 

I woke up early this morning to pack everything and go to the airport. If you’re using Uber in Spain, there is a mandatory 15-minute waiting time before getting assigned to a driver so beware if you’re in a hurry!  

Instead of Uber, I used an app called Freenow (usually cheaper than Uber) to travel from and to the airport. 

We got through the security check quite quickly: I realized that not having a line for passport checks extremely cuts down the waiting time. 

For breakfast, I ate a Caesar salad with a Mango passion fruit chia smoothie at the airport. I didn’t expect them to be good but they were scrumptious! 

After the 3.5-hour flight, I arrived at ARN airport in Stockholm. I booked an evening/night flight to Malta, so I just had to wait in the airport for a couple of hours. This was why I brought a backpack and a carry-on. Although my friends made fun of me for bringing so many clothes, I knew I was going to thank myself later in Malta. 

I enjoyed Barcelona and speaking rusty Spanish from high school. In the airport, I could sense that I was going to fall in love with Malta as well. 

Check out ups and downs of my solo travel in Malta in my next post!

Save to the virtual memory card in every game if you don’t want to start from scratch after every update.After going to many rom sites, they all were either extremely spammy, had too many page redirects and popunders, or forced you to use their annoying verification (annoying 2.0 if your on mobile).

The game does support save states, but updates tend to wipe them.

Still, it’s worth experimenting with this option if your preferred game has some headroom for a higher resolution.

AetherSX2 also supports resolution upscaling, from 1x (the original resolution of the game) all the way to 8x.

This could make the default power mode better for longer play sessions. Just keep in mind that higher temperatures can also lead to faster throttling. This increases performance at the expense of battery life and temperature.

One way to potentially get better performance that has nothing to do with the app is to switch from your phone’s default power profile to a performance mode (usually available in battery settings).

Three other settings worth toggling for better performance include the GPU Palette Conversion, Preload Textures, and Disable Hardware Readbacks options.

Enabling this on a phone with only two big cores could result in slower speeds. This can also bring a significant speed boost, but requires at least three big CPU cores.

Another handy tip from the horse’s mouth is to enable the Multi-Threaded VU1 option (found in the Three-line menu button > App Settings > System).

The EE Cycle Rate should be changed to a negative number, while the Cycle Skip should be set at a positive number. This can be accomplished by visiting the Three-line Menu button > App Settings > System, then choosing the EE Cycle Rate (Underclocking) and EE Cycle Skip (Underclocking option) fields.

The developer also recommends that those with slower phones try underclocking the emulated console’s CPU.

This is handy if you’ve got one game that requires plenty of tweaks, while the rest of your library works just fine with minimal changes. In case you didn’t know, you can tap and hold on a game listing to adjust settings for that title. The Vulkan API generally delivers a fast experience but might not deliver the best experience for all games.

Try changing the graphics renderer from OpenGL to Vulkan, for one.

Fortunately, the developer includes several features and offers plenty of tips. It doesn’t help that hundreds of phone models and dozens of processors are out there. Being an advanced PS2 emulator, AetherSX2 can be a major challenge for smartphones.

Bechloe Week 2021 - Day 2

Bed Sharing/One Bed

Beca, Chloe, and Amy all stood in the doorway, looking around the new apartment they were going to share.

"Where's the rest of it?" Beca asked, looking around for another door or room.

"I think this is all of it," Amy said, walking to the center of the room. "This is all there is."

"At least it's furnished," Chloe said, trying to look on the bright side. She stood next to Beca and looked around. "Amy, why is there only a single bed? I thought you said they told you three people could live here comfortably."

"They did," Amy said. "The sofa is a pull-out bed; it's a double. You and Beca should be quite comfortable on it."

"Why do Beca and I have to share the pull-out?" Chloe asked.

"Well, you two slept in the same bed a lot at Barden," Amy said. "It just makes sense. Besides, I need my space when I sleep."

Amy emphasized her point by flopping back onto the single bed, spreading out so that the entire bed was covered by her.

"I guess we could share," Beca said, looking at the sofa trying to figure out how it became a bed.

"I don't feel comfortable doing that," Chloe said.

"Why?" Amy asked, sitting up to look at Chloe. "You didn't have a problem with it at Barden."

"But, that was, um, only occasionally," Chloe said. "It wasn't a full-time thing. We are probably going to live here for quite some time together and I, um, I don't-" Chloe stopped talking and let out a heavy sigh.

"You don't. . .what, Chloe?" Beca asked, hurt evident in her voice as she glared at the redhead.

"I don't think it's a good idea is all," Chloe said, avoiding Beca's eyes.

Beca schooled her features to hide how hurt she felt. "Well, here's a grand idea. You and Amy can share the pullout and I, as the only one who will be actually paying the rent and utilities, will take this bed."

Beca grabbed Amy's legs and pulled her off the bed.

"Hey!" Amy yelled as she landed on the floor with a thud.

Beca stepped over her and laid on the bed, crossing her legs at the ankle. "There. Now you don't have to worry about sharing a bed with me. Problem solved."

"Beca," Chloe whined.

"It's okay, Chloe," Beca said. "This is a much better setup for me. You are kind of a blanket hog."

Amy scrambled to stand up and Chloe reached down to help her.

"That's not fair, Beca," Amy said. "I called the bed first."

"You're right," Beca said. "So, let's do this the democratic way. Everyone who is paying for the rent or utilities, or anything pertaining to the apartment, gets a vote. Sound good?"

Chloe and Amy just stared at Beca. Beca sat up on the bed and looked back at them.

"All those eligible to vote say aye if they think I should get the bed," Beca said; she paused for a heartbeat and said, "Aye! Looks like the motion is carried and I get the bed."

"Wait," Amy said. "We're going to pay once we get jobs."

"Then we'll revisit the issue," Beca said, standing up. "Until then, we're done discussing or arguing about this. I'm going to unpack and find something to eat."

"What about us?" Amy asked.

Beca looked at Amy and then at Chloe. She furrowed her brow when she saw Chloe standing there with a strange look on her face.

"You okay, Chloe?" Beca asked. She couldn't help it. No matter how upset she got with Chloe, she would always be concerned about her.

Chloe swallowed and nodded her head. "Um, I think I'll take a walk around the neighborhood and see what's out there."

"Find us something to eat while you're out," Amy said.

"Do you have any money to pay for it?" Beca asked, looking at Amy with a raised eyebrow.

Amy ignored Beca and picked up her bag. "I'll take the left side of the dresser," she told Chloe and put her suitcase on the sofa to start unpacking.

"Okay," Chloe said. "I'll, um, be back in a bit."

"Hey," Beca said, stopping Chloe as she started to walk past her to the door. "Be careful. And, um, text me if you find a good place to eat. I'll meet you there and pay for some take-out or something. Okay?"

Chloe nodded. "Okay," she said and walked out the door.

~~ BeChloe Week 2021 - Day 2 ~~

Chloe exited the building and took several deep breaths to calm herself. She doesn't know what possessed her to tell Beca she didn't want to share a bed with her. Amy was right, they had shared a bed numerous times at Barden. Sharing one now would be no different.

Chloe started walking and made a mental note of some of the stores and take-out places along the way. Her mind was racing as she stepped into a small diner about three blocks from the apartment. She sat and ordered a coffee.

"Thank you," Chloe said to the waitress as she placed Chloe's coffee on the table in front of her.

Chloe took a sip and pulled out her phone. She found Aubrey's name and hit the call button.

"Hey, Chloe," Aubrey's voice came through the phone. "Are the three amigos settled in?"

"Well, we're in New York," Chloe replied.

"What's wrong?"

"It's silly."

"What's wrong?"

Chloe sighed. "The apartment is one big room. It has a small kitchen area, a bathroom with a curtain for a door, and two beds."

"Sounds cozy," Aubrey said with a chuckle. "What else?"

"Amy claimed the single bed and said Beca and I could share the pullout sofa," Chloe said. "But, um." Chloe let out a loud sigh.

"But, what?" Aubrey prompted.

"I told Beca I wasn't comfortable with doing that."

"And what did Beca have to say about that?"

"I think I hurt her feelings," Chloe said softly.

"What was the reason you gave for not wanting to share the bed?"

"I didn't give one."

"So, what is the reason?"

"I don't know why I said it because I don't have a good reason to not share the bed with Beca."

"If there are only two beds, what are you guys going to do?"

"Beca decided that since she was the only paying rent that she should get the single bed."

"I'm with her on that," Aubrey said. "So, if you don't share with Beca, you'll be sharing the pullout sofa with Amy?"

"Yeah."

"Good luck with that," Aubrey snickered.

"What am I going to do about Beca? I don't have a reason not to share the bed with her and I don't know why I said it was a bad idea."

"I think you do," Aubrey said. "Take some time and really think about it. I'm sure it will come to you. I'm sorry but I have to go. Duty calls. I'll talk to you later."

"Okay," Chloe said. "Thanks, Brey."

"Anytime, Chlo," Aubrey said and ended the call.

Chloe let out another sigh.

~~ BeChloe Week 2021 - Day 2 ~~

Chloe took her time finishing her coffee. Her stomach grumbled and she picked up a menu. The food didn't look too bad and she was hungry. As she looked at the menu, she remembered what Beca said about buying dinner for the three of them.

After a small debate with herself, she called Beca, who answered immediately.

"Chloe?"

"Um, yeah, Beca, it's me," Chloe said. "I found a cute little diner about three blocks from the apartment and wanted to know what you guys wanted for dinner."

"Where is it?" Beca asked. "I said I'd meet you and pay for dinner."

"Turn left when you come out of the building," Chloe said. "It's about three blocks down on the same side of the street. It's called Brooklyn Diner."

"Okay," Beca said. "I'll see you in about ten minutes."

"I'll be here," Chloe said, trying to sound upbeat.

She ended the call and waited for Beca.

~~ BeChloe Week 2021 - Day 2 ~~

Chloe sat in the booth, mumbling to herself.

"Should I tell Beca the real reason why I said I didn't think we should share a bed? Or, do I just suffer through having to share the bed with Amy for God knows how long?"

"Hey," Beca said, startling Chloe as she sat in the booth across from Chloe. "Are you okay?"

"What?" Chloe asked. "Oh, yeah. I'm fine."

"Um, did you order our food yet?" Beca asked.

"Oh, no, not yet," Chloe said, looking around for the waitress.

Beca furrows her brow and studies Chloe for a moment.

"What's going on, Chloe?" Beca asked. "You seem nervous; you don't get nervous."

"I'm sorry about the whole bed thing," Chloe blurted out.

"You did kind of hurt my feelings, Chlo," Beca said. "Why did you say you didn't think sharing a bed with me was a good idea?"

"I'm sorry I hurt your feelings," Chloe said with a sigh. "It's just that you're with Jesse and it doesn't seem right for us to share a bed. It won't be like it was at Barden where it happened every once in a while. This will be every single night."

"I understand that," Beca said. "I still don't see the problem."

"What would Jesse have to say about that?"

"Um, about the whole Jesse thing," Beca said. "I don't have to worry about what he would have to say about it because we broke up."

"What?! When?"

"Right after Worlds when I told him I got a job in New York," Beca said. "He told me I was being a dumbass by moving here instead of moving to L.A. with him."

"What a jerk!"

"I agree," Beca said, chuckling. "I tried to make him understand that I had a legit music producer job waiting for me here. I had no offers from any place in L.A. and didn't have a lot of money to live off of while I looked for something."

"So, he broke up with you because of that?" Chloe asked.

"No," Beca said. "I broke up with him. The long-distance thing wasn't something I wanted to work on; it would have taken a lot of work to keep it going. Despite his easygoing, boyish demeanor Jesse is very high maintenance. And quite honestly, the breakup had been coming for a while, so it was no surprise to either one of us that I finally decided to pull the plug."

"I'm sorry," Chloe said, looking down. Her head suddenly popped back up to stare at Beca. "Wait! Worlds was three months ago. Why didn't you tell me about the breakup before now?"

"You were already pretty stressed out about finding a job," Beca said with a shrug. "I didn't want to add to your stress by having you worrying about whether I was okay or not. And, for the record, I am totally fine and have no regrets regarding the breakup."

Chloe took a minute to digest what Beca had said. She opened her mouth as if to say something, but closed it when Beca's phone pinged with a text notification. Beca pulled it out and looked at the message.

"Amy wants to know how much longer we'll be," Beca told Chloe. "Apparently, she's going to die of starvation if we don't get back soon."

Chloe chuckled. "We should order and get back."

"Or," Beca said, typing out a text. "We can stay and eat here. We can invite Amy to join us, which I guarantee she won't want to do. Then we can talk some more and take something back for her. What do you say?"

"I like that idea," Chloe said.

Beca smiled and hit send. It took less than a minute for Amy to respond.

Beca's phone pinged and she looked at it and smiled. "Amy said don't be too long. See, I told you she wouldn't want to join us."

Beca sent a text back, assuring Amy they wouldn't take long.

"So, where were we?" Beca asked, setting her phone aside.

"You were telling me how you had no regrets," Choe replied.

"That was a lie," Beca said, causing Chloe to give her a questioning look. "I do have one regret. But it has nothing to do with Jesse."

Chloe looked confused. "What do you regret?"

"I regret not telling my best friend the real reason I chose New York over L.A."

Chloe's heart started beating faster. She didn't want to get her hopes up, but this conversation could go so many ways.

"What, um, what's the real reason?"

"You weren't going to be in L.A."

Chloe decided to bite the bullet and go for it.

"I would have if you had asked me to," Chloe said, watching for Beca's reaction.

Beca smiled and reached across the table and took Chloe's hand in hers. Chloe squeezed Beca's hand and smiled back at her.

"Can I take your order?" the waitress asked, startling Beca and Chloe.

Beca chuckled and told the waitress what she wanted, adding that they would also need to place a to-go order before they left.

"You can give me your to-go order now," the waitress. "And I'll put it in when you're close to being finished."

"That would be perfect," Beca said and relayed Amy's order.

Chloe gave her order and the waitress left the table.

Beca looked down and noticed that she and Chloe were still holding hands across the table. Chloe noticed Beca looking at their hands and smiled.

"This is nice," Chloe said. "Almost like a real date."

"It could be if you want it to be," Beca said, blushing as she looked into Chloe's eyes.

"Are you serious?" Chloe asked.

"I am," Beca said. "I love you, Chloe. And I don't mean as just a friend. I'm hoping we can be so much more. Are you interested in pursuing something beyond friendship?"

"Absolutely," Chloe squealed. "I love you as more than a friend, too. And, honestly, it's the main reason I was a bit reluctant to share a bed with you. I was afraid you'd find out how I really felt about you."

"How do you feel about it now?"

"I'm all for sharing a bed now," Chloe said. "Especially, if it means we can cuddle any time we want."

"I'd say that's a given," Beca said, smiling. "This makes me so happy. So, um, I have a question for you?"

"Ask it," Chloe said.

"Will you be exclusive with me?"

"Why, Beca Mitchell, are you asking me to be your girlfriend?"

"Yeah," Beca said and smiled. "I guess I am. So, girlfriend, yes or no?"

Chloe got up and moved to Beca's side of the table, sat down; she pulled Beca into a kiss.

"That's a definite yes," Chloe said, pulling back from the kiss.

"Wow," Beca said, leaning in for another kiss. "That was better than I ever imagined it would be."

"That begs the question," Chloe said. "How long have you been imagining kissing me?"

"Probably since the day you barged into my shower," Beca said, chuckling. "Now the bigger question is, do we share my single bed, or do we kick Amy out of the pullout and share the double?"

"The single would be a lot cozier for the two of us, but I say we kick Amy out of the pullout," Chloe said. "That way, we'd all be happy."

~~ BeChloe Week 2021 - Day 2 ~~

It was an hour later when Beca and Chloe walked into their apartment, hand in hand.

"It's about time," Amy said, jumping up from the pull-out bed and grabbing the bag from Beca's hand.

"We got you a chocolate shake, too," Chloe said, holding out the cup.

"Thanks," Amy said, taking the cup from Chloe.

Amy went back to the pullout and sat down. She started taking her food out of the bag.

"Hey," Beca said. "No eating on my bed."

"What?" Amy said, stopping her movements. "But, I thought-"

Beca and Chloe held up their clasped hands, smiling at Amy. Beca kissed the back of Chloe's hand.

"O-M-AcaGee," Amy squealed. "Bhloe is real?"

"Yep," Beca and Chloe respond.

They leaned in and kissed, causing Amy to squeal again and jump up, grabbing the new couple into a hug.

"Not so tight, Amy," Beca said, wincing.

"I can't wait to tell the Bellas," Amy said, letting the pair go. "This is the news of the Century!"

Amy rushed over and grabbed her phone. She laid back on the bed and started texting, food suddenly taking a back seat to the news of the Century.

Beca and Chloe shook their heads, chuckling at Amy who forgot about her food to inform the Bellas of their new status. Beca took the bag of food and milkshake and moved it to the other bed.

Beca then grabbed her phone and laid down in the middle of the pull-out, situating herself next to Fat Amy; Chloe pulled out her phone and laid on her side, snuggling close to Beca.

The three friends replied to the Bellas' messages as they laid together on the shared bed.

2021-10-04

Das Wochenende war Superschön. Am Samstag habe ich zuerst ein feines Herbstmenu gekocht. Am Abend gingen Estela und ich das erste Mal seit mehr als einem Jahr ins Kino. Auch das war ein gutes Gefühl. Nach so langer Zeit wieder einmal im Ausgang zu sein mit vielen Menschen im Kino und ohne Masken um uns herum.

Der Sonntag begann frühmorgens mit wunderschönen Farben am Himmel, die jedoch auch einen Wetterwechsel ankündigten. Der Sonntag war zwar noch trocken und warm, kündigte jedoch mit seinem Farbenspiel das schlechte Wetter an, das uns in der Nacht erreichte.

Ich traf mich mit meinen FC Zürich-Freunden schon am Morgen zum Jubiläumsanlass und ich muss zu meiner Schande eingestehen, dass ich bis zum späten Nachmittag zum ersten Mal seit Beginn der Chemotherapie dem Bierkonsum gefrönt habe. Über die Stunden ist ca. 1 Liter zusammengekommen. Der FCZ erfüllte dann unsere Erwartungen mit einem spektakulären 6:2 Sieg gegen den FC Sion. Dass danach Union Berlin auch noch sein Spiel gewann, rundete das Weekend perfekt ab.

Eine Nebenwirkung der Krebserkrankung ist, dass ich viel medizinisches Wissen auf den Weg mitbekomme. Seit einiger Zeit habe ich Probleme mit den Augen, die jucken und tränen. Das führt im Laufe des Tages zu angestrengtem Schauen. Das wiederum führt im Extremfall zu Kopfschmerzen. Lästig ist auch, dass dies schon am frühen Morgen nach dem Aufstehen losgeht.

Frau Jermann, die Onkologin hat mir empfohlen, einen Termin bei der Augenärztin abzumachen, um das abzuklären. Den Termin hatte ich heute. Frau Hess hat zuerst alle möglichen Parameter im Auge untersucht, welche durchgehend perfekt waren. Es ist also kein grundlegendes Problem mit den Augen.

Sie hat danach die möglichen Nebenwirkungen der Chemotherapie anhand der eingesetzten Zytostatika und der Immuntherapie abgeklärt. Trockene Augen sind eine mögliche Nebenwirkung. Spannend an der Sache ist, dass trockene Augen zu erhöhtem Tränenfluss führen, genau das was mir passiert. Die Tränenflüssigkeit besteht aus drei Schichten.

· Die unterste muköse (schleimige) Schicht überzieht die Hornhaut netzförmig und setzt die Oberflächenspannung herab, was der Benetzung der epithelialen Zellmembranen durch die Tränenflüssigkeit dient.

· Die mittlere, wässrige Schicht sind die eigentlichen Tränen. Sie enthält wasserlösliche Substanzen und Proteine.

· Die dritte und oberste Schicht ist eine lipide (fetthaltige) Schicht. Sie stammt aus der Meibom-Drüse und dient der Verlangsamung der Evaporation der wässrigen Schicht. Diese Schicht wird durch das Blinzeln auf die Augenoberfläche gebracht.

Wenn nun die dritte Schicht zu wenig ins Auge gelangt, führt dies genau zur Evaporation. Damit steigt durch die Schwerkraft der Tränenfluss, das heisst die wässrige Schicht wird zu wenig durch die lipide Schicht abgedeckt und es tropft.

Frau Hess hat mir auch erklärt, dass vor allem die Arbeit am Bildschirm und das permanente Betrachten des Smartphones diesen Prozess verstärkt. Dies deshalb, weil diese Tätigkeiten die Konzentration erhöhen und das Blinzeln reduzieren.

Ich nehme an, dass durch häufige das Home-Office und den kleineren Bildschirm diese Konzentration noch erhöht ist. Das Handy und das Tablet sind auch nicht ohne. Sie hat mir nun zwei harmlose unterstützende Medikamente mitgegeben. Ich hoffe, das wirkt. Die Steigerung wäre ein Medikament mit chemischen Substanzen.

The weekend was super nice. On Saturday I first cooked a fine autumn menu. In the evening, Estela and I went to the movies for the first time in more than a year. That was also a good feeling. After such a long time to be out again with many people in the cinema and without masks around us.

Sunday started early in the morning with beautiful colors in the sky, but they also announced a change in the weather. Sunday was still dry and warm, but announced with its play of colors the bad weather that reached us during the night.

I met up with my FC Zurich friends early in the morning for the anniversary event, and I must admit to my shame that by late afternoon I had indulged in beer consumption for the first time since starting chemotherapy. Over the hours about 1 liter came together. FCZ then fulfilled our expectations with a spectacular 6:2 victory over FC Sion. The fact that Union Berlin also won its game afterwards rounded off the weekend perfectly.

A side effect of cancer is that I get a lot of medical knowledge along the way. For some time now, I have had problems with my eyes itching and tearing. This leads to strained looking during the day. This in turn leads to headaches in extreme cases. It is also annoying that this starts early in the morning after getting up.

Mrs. Jermann, the oncologist, recommended that I make an appointment with the ophthalmologist to clarify this. I had the appointment today. Mrs. Hess first examined all possible parameters in the eye, which were perfect throughout. So it is not a basic problem with the eyes.

She then clarified the possible side effects of the chemotherapy based on the cytostatic drugs used and the immunotherapy. Dry eyes are a possible side effect. What's exciting about this is that dry eyes lead to increased tear flow, which is exactly what happens to me. Tears are made up of three layers.

- The lowest mucous (slimy) layer coats the cornea in a reticular pattern and lowers the surface tension, which serves to wet the epithelial cell membranes with the tear fluid.

- The middle, aqueous layer is the actual tears. It contains water-soluble substances and proteins.

- The third and uppermost layer is a lipid (fat-containing) layer. It originates from the Meibom-Gland and serves to slow the evaporation of the aqueous layer. This layer is brought to the surface of the eye by blinking.

Now, if too little of the third layer enters the eye, it will cause exactly evaporation. This increases the tear flow due to gravity, i.e. the aqueous layer is not covered enough by the lipid layer and it drips.

Mrs. Hess also explained to me that especially working at a computer screen and permanently looking at the smartphone intensifies this process. This is because these activities increase concentration and reduce blinking.

I assume that due to frequent the home office and the smaller screen, this concentration is even increased. The cell phone and tablet are not without either. She has now given me two harmless supportive medications. I hope this works. The increase would be a drug with chemical substances.

El fin de semana ha sido súper bonito. El sábado, primero cociné un buen menú de otoño. Por la noche, Estela y yo fuimos al cine por primera vez en más de un año. Eso también fue una buena emoción. Después de tanto tiempo, volver a salir con mucha gente al cine y sin máscaras a nuestro alrededor.

El domingo comenzó a primera hora de la mañana con hermosos colores en el cielo, pero también anunciaban un cambio en el tiempo. El domingo seguía siendo seco y cálido, pero anunciaba con su juego de colores el mal tiempo que nos llegó durante la noche.

Me reuní con mis amigos del FC Zúrich a primeras horas de la mañana para el evento del aniversario y tengo que admitir para mi vergüenza que me entregué al consumo de cerveza hasta última hora de la tarde por primera vez desde que empecé la quimioterapia. A lo largo de las horas, se consumió alrededor de 1 litro. El FCZ cumplió nuestras expectativas con una espectacular victoria por 6:2 contra el FC Sion. El hecho de que el Union Berlin también ganara su partido posterior redondeó el fin de semana a la perfección.

Un efecto secundario del cáncer es que adquiero muchos conocimientos médicos por el camino. Desde hace algún tiempo, tengo problemas de picor y lagrimeo en los ojos. Esto conduce a una mirada tensa durante el día. Esto, a su vez, provoca dolores de cabeza en casos extremos. También es molesto que esto comience temprano en la mañana cuando me levanto.

La señora Jermann, la oncóloga, me recomendó que pidiera una cita con la oftalmóloga para aclararlo. Hoy he tenido la cita. La Sra. Hess examinó primero todos los parámetros posibles del ojo, que eran perfectos en su totalidad. Así que no es un problema fundamental de los ojos.

A continuación, aclaró los posibles efectos secundarios de la quimioterapia en función de los fármacos citostáticos utilizados y de la inmunoterapia. La sequedad de ojos es un posible efecto secundario. Lo más interesante es que la sequedad ocular provoca un aumento del flujo lagrimal, que es exactamente lo que me ocurre a mí. El líquido lagrimal consta de tres capas.

- La capa mucosa más baja cubre la córnea en forma de red y disminuye la tensión superficial, lo que sirve para humedecer las membranas de las células epiteliales con el líquido lagrimal.

- La capa intermedia, acuosa, es la verdadera lágrima. Contiene sustancias hidrosolubles y proteínas.

- La tercera y más alta capa es una capa lipídica (que contiene grasa). Procede de la glándula de Meibom y sirve para frenar la evaporación de la capa acuosa. Esta capa sale a la superficie del ojo al parpadear.

Ahora bien, si entra poca cantidad de la tercera capa en el ojo, esto lleva precisamente a la evaporación. En consecuencia, el flujo de lágrimas aumenta por gravedad, es decir, la capa acuosa no está suficientemente cubierta por la capa lipídica y gotea.

La Sra. Hess también me explicó que trabajar frente a una pantalla de ordenador y mirar constantemente el smartphone y la tableta, en particular, intensifica este proceso. Esto se debe a que estas actividades aumentan la concentración y reducen el parpadeo.

Supongo que debido al trabajo frecuente en la oficina en casa y a la pantalla más pequeña, esta concentración aumenta aún más. El eléfono móvil y la tableta tampoco faltan. Ahora me ha dado dos medicamentos de apoyo inofensivos. Espero que esto funcione. El siguiente paso sería un medicamento con sustancias químicas

Arón Piper x reader🌿

You met Omar in your first year of high school. He was in the same class as your best friend back then. As the first year flew by, you tear apart from your best friend, being magnetized by all the brightness Omar emanates around him. You immediately became inseparable and, in fact, he was your first boyfriend. Nothing much happened between the two of you, maybe it would have if your family wouldn’t have been forced to move in England due to your father’s job. You haven’t talked or seen him, until one day you were walking down the street and saw a promo for some spanish Netflix series. You had to stare at that photo for minutes to realise is him. You were used to him smiling, all the photos you have together, he’s only a smile, a very dynamic person. It was strange to see him frowning, with a serious, angry expression. You realised then his dream came true and you broke your promise that you will be his date to the premiere of his first important role. He has changed in better and you no doubt what a talented actor he is. You weren’t a fan of tv series and that Netflix thing you considered useless, but you immediately created an account and binged first season in one night. You searched for his number, but you realised you lost it a long time ago. So shame of you. 

You were in Madrid for a week already and you just walked and visited all your favourite places. There aren’t many changes, but the city has developed so beautiful. You passed by the place where you had your first kiss with Omar and soon enough you were in front of the building he used to live. Used to live? Maybe he still lives there and you thought, why not, go and check. What could even go wrong? 

 As you reached the front door you realised his last name was stil on the mailbox. Your heart climb due to the excitement in your throath and you could even hear it beating. Your palms where so sweaty that you had to press the bell three times to ring properly.       

“¡Tener paciencia, ya voy!” you heard a voice behind the door and bit your bottom lip, trying to hold a stupid smile.

“Sabes que no tengo paciencia.” you responded as the door opened and you can clearly seen the hansome man. 

You both stared at each other maybe for too long, but you couldn’t say anything. How much time has passed? Almost five years have leacked without knowing anything about him. You had taken your time and stared at each other while from inside, curious eyes were searching the two of you. You could recognise those people, Polo, Ander, Guzmán, Nadia, Lu, this guy you didn’t remembered his name and Carla.  

“¡Joder!” he was in shock. Maybe it was a bad idea to show up at his door so suddently.

“What, little star? You forgot your first girfriend?” you laughed at him as on his face started to grow an imense smile. That’s the Omar you knew and missed so much. 

“You came back!” he exclaimed, opening his arms.

“And you waited!” as you jumped in his arms and welcomed his tight hug, you made eye contact with the actor that plays Ander. Joder, these people are looking even hotter in real life, starting with Omar and finishing with thig guy.

Omar invited you in and while he clossed the door, you searched the room and you found that he still has the photo with the two of you from the concert of your favourite band. Everyone was looking strangely at you until someone breake the silence.

“I tought we were supposed to be just us.” the blonde guy with a lot of freckles on his face spoke first.

“I could go and come back later if you want.” you responded, but Omar moved his hand and reduced you to silence.

“This is (y/n) and is the best friend I could ever ask for.” he smiled and everyone was looking at you, but you were hipnotised only by the curly headed one, with the brown sweet eyes and a “bad ass” expression. “And you, señorita, have the chance to meet in person the most important cast of Élite.” he was joking, of course, but presented you to everyone and you kissed cheeks with them. 

“We were about to watch the second season of Élite. Wanna join? After that you could stay the night and tell me everything.” Omar rubbed your back then sat on the floor, in front of the couch. You sat beside him, and rested your head on his shoulder.

Two episodes later, you were so caught in the action that you didn’t realised your position. At some point Arón parted his legs and set a pillow between them so you could rest your head. Omar looked suspiciously at you, but why would he? He raised his eyebrow at Arón before he walked to the window and lighted a cigarette. Well you knew he was smoking in the series, but not in real life. You must admit, he looks damn hot while doing that.

“What? I saved your puta hombro! I couldn’t see properly because of her head!” you laughed at his words and stretched a little. That floor was uncomfortable.

“¡Joder! Amigos, I have a photoshoot in half an hour! I gotta go!” Miguel announced as he grabbed his stuff and ran out the door.

Danna had to leave as well because she has a date with Jorge, the one that plays Valerio. Mina, Ester and Álvaro founded excuses to leave and Iztan left after the first episode.

Just you, Omar and Arón remained and opened a bottle of wine to the all the good and the bad times you’ve been through, but without each other.

“So, England, huh? Very strange people those britains.” Arón smiled before he took a sip from the red vine.

“They are, indeed! I couldn’t stand them anymore. I dropped Oxford and came back home!” you proudly answered the unspoken question.

“You dropped Oxford?” Omar asked you, visibly shocked. “That was your dream!”

“Are you nuts or something?” Arón asked then turned to Omar “¿Está loca?”

“I’m not crazy, thank you very much. But I’m home sick, alright? Even though I had my parents there, I couldn’t fit in. My heart was in Spain and I just couldn’t leave all my life here like it never happened.”

“Speaking of, you remember that bar you liked very much but closed after the end of the ninth grade?” you nodded. “It opened a few months ago and it’s magnificent!” you missed that apartament, you missed the round table, you missed the urban agglomeration and hearing Omar speaking spanish. Right now it felt like heaven.

“We should totally go there, like the old times!” you used to go there every day, eat a lot of fried potatoes and talk for hours about everything and nothing actually.

“Totally. Also, there’s a new coffee shop that I think you would adore. She’s an coffee addict.” Omar informed Arón laughing.

“Where is it?” your eyes shined. You indeed liked coffee very much. 

“I can actually show you. Are you free tomorrow?” the voice came from Arón and it was unexpected. 

“Are you asking me out?” you had a devilish smile on your face. 

“For God sake, you women! No, don’t get too excited. I’ll get you to drink the best coffee of your life! This place beats Starbucks’ ass so bad!” he seemd into this subject, maybe you had some things in common.

----------

As you established, the next day at noon Arón was there waiting for you. You stared too many minutes inside your closet, nothing seemd suitable for this date. Is it a date? Well, the other day you definetly flirted with each other. Omar told you he never saw Arón this way. You could say he’s an introvert, and a little shy, but did a brave move. When you finally picked a blue flourished dress, was already three minutes after the hour you decided to left home and get there in time. And because you put make up on and erased it two times made thirty minutes fly away. So when you left, you were already 5 minutes late. 

“I’m so sorry I’m late, I overslept!” you lied, of course. You didn’t want him to believe you get over your head because of this meeting.

“For a moment I thought you won’t show up.” he let the smoke come out from him moth as he extinguished his cigarette. You found him standing at a table outside, scrolling through his phone. He was wearing something simple, a t-shirt and some blue jeans, but he managed to look incredible. Even God love’s what is beautiful. You could tell this man is kissed by the Aphrodite, the Goddess of beauty herself.   ”All these insecurities are from that german blood? Because I know something about spanish people, we are damn confident! And people of word!” you sat down afront him and let your phone on the table.

“Someone did some research, I see.” in fact you did some research and stalked him on Instagram.

“How could I not? You are a hard to forget type! Anyway I couldn’t find much about you, only unnecessarily basics.” you were honest, because you are trying to gain his trust and friendship.

“I think we are on the same page here. All I know is your name and that you are a damn confident and direct person. Oh, and a woman of word, of course.” The waiter came with your orders and interrupted your conversation, but as he moved around you, clearing the ashtray for Arón, you were looking into the menu considering ordering maybe a muffin. But when you looked up,the waiter was already gone, and Arón was looking at you.  

“I’m starting to think you’re obsessed with me.” you breake the silence, but never look away from his side. 

“In that outfit, who wouldn’t be?” he winked at you.

“So you that’s how you addmit you were staring at me?” you caught his sight while you bit your bottom lip and did’t retire.

“Well, you obviously caught me doing that, but guess what, you were staring too.” his tongue override his lips.  That was true, both of you were staring at eatch other, but how could you not stare at this handsome man? He stretched his back to get you back from your thoughts before he spoke. “There’s a small party saturday at some club in the centre, maybe I’ll see you there. Now, I’m sorry, but I have to go for a shooting.” he grabbed his phone and got up, but before he passed you stopped. You stood up as well and he initiate a hug. You were surprised, but when he whispered “It was nice to see you, beautiful!” you frozed. That was so nice of him, shame of you because you couldn’t say a thing. -------- Saturday you spent almost all day figuring out what you should wear and what kind of party is that. Two days ago you spent with Omar his birthday and had so much fun together. You haven’t told him about Arón’s invitation, however without telling him much about what happened, he still gave you strange looks. So this time you made sure to left the house and get there in time. You knew the club, but you didn’t knew how to find him, thus you find your way through the entrance where you find a man. “Name.” he said warely. You frowned. Was that a joke? Maybe Arón made fun of you and invited you to some party where couldn’t even get passed the door. The anger started to spread into your body along with the cold. Though Spain is a warm country is still spring and the nights are still not warm enough. 

“(y/n)” you responded. “Arón Piper knows I’m coming.” you thought the best option was to say the name of someone famous. “I mean, he doesn’t know I’m coming, but he invited me.” you begin to stutter and say nonsenses.  “Sure... wait a minute.” he was suspicious, you can tell. After he came back, he wasn’t alone. Arón followed the man outside and he faced a bright smile at the sight of you.  “You came!” he grabbed your hand and he led you to a table where everyone was looking strangely at you. Just as the first time. The only difference is that you knew their name this time.

“¡Hola!” you smiled at them wile you sat down next to Omar.

“What are you doing here?” he’s doesn’t mean to be rude, but it was a surprise for him to see you there. A good one.

“Arón invited me.” you shrugged.

“Strange, he didn’t mention a thing though. He’s kinda reserved when it comes to private things, like his birthday.” ha looked at you then sip from his cocktail.

“Yeah, he is very reserved.” you mumbled.

The fact that Arón didn’t tell you it was his birthday, made you uncomfortable. You shouldn’t be here. As Omar said, he is very reserved and a birthday party is for family and friends, and you were none of them. You searched the room and found Arón coming towards the table. You stood up quickly and stopped him.

“Why haven’t you told me is your birthday?” you confronted him.

“Well hello, Beautiful. What’s with that frowning?” he ignored your question as he handed you a drink.

“I didn’t get you anything!” you insisted. Well, actually he didn’t need anything from you because he can buys himself more than you could ever thought of. He put his drink and yours on the table then reached for you hand.

“That’s fine because I just need one thing from you.” he made his way towards the dance floor, still holding your hand.

What would he possibly need from you? You had milions of thoughts and questions running through your mind, but he erased them all when he grabbed your waist and urged you to do the same.

“You look very beautiful tonight.” he screamed over the music, before you could tell anything.

“You didn’t look bad yourself!” you smiled at him. Arón was stearing at your lips as you talked. “So what was that thing you needed?”

“Kiss me.” that came out of nowhere, he knew that too.

“What?”

“Kiss me, hermosa!”

You looked him questioning all the posibilities. He’s trying to make fun of you right now? Does he really want that? As you got stuck on your mind, he leaned towards you, but you could tell he’s too afraid to do something. You both stood there in the middle of the dance floor with your foreheads pressed and with eyes closed.

“You know,” he started and you smelled some cigarette mixed with alcohol and mint. It doesn’t smell bad at all. “I am very good at flirting, that’s why I’m so confident doing that,” you couldn’t agree more. You observed that, he’s a cocky guy when it comes to the things that he’s good at, and ¡Joder! he’s good at many things. “But when it comes to kiss a pretty girl, it’s more complicated, you know. I’m afraid not to mess things up.”

He’s talking nonsense. You rubbed you nose to his and made the bravest move you’ve ever done. You pressed your lips to his and smiled. He smiled too and kissed with so much desire, you were shocked. He’s a very sweet person when he’s not wearing that “bad ass” attitude. As you distanced from the kiss, he looked deeply in your eyes.

“I wanted to do that since the day one.” he laughed a little and smiled at you. He admired you on the dance floor long enough then he went for the drinks you abandoned on the table. Arón was the life of the party all night. He danced, he sang and was so happy, that you couldn’t stop smiling. You had the chance to met this amazing man and even kiss him, you were indeed grateful. Omar stood by your side and glanced at you two all night, but he was happy too.

Details

‘Vulnerable Systems: * Deep Freeze versions 5.20.* and 5.30.* * Deep Freeze versions 3.32.*

Immune Systems: * DeepFreeze version 5.5

Tools needed: Ollydgb to patch the program and run it.

OllyScript to run scripts on Ollydgb.

ASPack 2.12 OEP finder script by hacnho/VCT2k4 to find the OEP.

Process Explorer for 2K/XP to see the login program command line.

DeASPack for AsPack 2.11 to unpack the login program. (for Deep Freeze 3.32.000.0534)

Summary: What we are going to do is to load a new instance of Deep Freeze login program and we’ll change it in such a way that it will accept any password as a valid one.

Let’s get to work: 1. The first thing we are going to do is finding some data we’re going to use later to load our login program instance. To do that load Process Explorer. In this program we can see a list of all the processes our PC is running, among them is the login program called FrzState.exe or FrzState2k.exe. Find this program on the list, expanding the tree if necessary. Once you’ve found it, right click over the program’s name and a menu with options will show up. Select the option ‘Properties’. A window will show up with the process properties.

2. In the properties window you’ll see a property called ‘Command line’. On this box you can see the program’s location, remember that. At the end of the text box there are three numbers that you have to write down to use later. Once you’ve written them down you can close Process Explorer.

Deep Freeze for Windows 2K/XP 3. Now run Ollydbg. Note: Make sure OllyScript is properly installed. There should be a menu called ‘Plugins’ where you’ll find a submenu called ‘OllyScript’. If this menu doesn’t appear in the program, that means you haven’t installed the plugin properly. To install it, go to the menu ‘Options’ and select ‘Appearance’. In the ‘Plugin path’ box write the address where you copied OllyScript files, press OK and restart the program. On the menu ‘File’ select ‘Open’ and look for the login program file (remember that Process Explorer told you where it was). In the ‘Arguments’ box write the three numbers you’ve written down. Now click ‘Open’. If a warning message box shows up press ‘OK’, and if later a message box ask you if you want to continue the code analysis press ‘No’.

4. We have loaded the program, the problem is that it’s protected with Aspack 2.12 and we can’t see the real code. To solve this we’re going to use OllyScript and the ASPack 2.12 OEP finder script. Go to the ‘Plugins’ menu, and then to the ‘OllyScript’ submenu and select ‘Run script’.

5. Look for the script and open it. The script will find the OEP (original entry point). If any window shows up dismiss it. Note: We are now on the OEP. If you are an experienced user you can dump the program using OllyDump to analyze the code with a disassembler.

6. Deep Freeze can be configured to hide the system tray icon (next to the clock). If you can’t see the Deep Freeze icon follow the steps on this Annex and then resume this tutorial.

7. Right click over the code and a context menu will appear, select ‘Go to’ and then ‘Expression’ (or use the shortcut Ctrl+G).

8. In the text box enter the following value according to the Deep Freeze version you have installed and press OK.

Version Value 4.20.020.0598 40368D 4.20.120.0598 40368D 4.20.121.0613 4034F5 5.20.220.1125 4037E9 5.30.120.1181 4037E9

The program will jump to that line of code. 9. This is the line from where the password verification procedure is called. Let’s set a breakpoint here. To do that right click over the line and in the context menu select ‘Breakpoint’ and then ‘Toggle’ (or press F2).

10. We are almost done! Now let’s run this new Deep Freeze login program instance. To do that press F9. If everything went right now you should see two Deep Freeze icons on the system tray next to the clock. If Deep Freeze was configured to hide it (read annex), instead of two icons you’ll see an empty icon. Note: If the icon doesn’t show up is possible that you haven’t written the argument three numbers correctly or that you haven’t opened the right file.

11. Now activate the login program by double clicking over the icon while you keep the shift key pressed. If there are two icons, is important that you click over the new icon and not over the old one. The login window will appear asking for the password. Write anything in the password box and press ENTER. The breakpoint we set earlier in Ollydbg will activate and the login program will freeze. Note: If the breakpoint doesn’t activate is possible that you’ve chosen the wrong icon. Try with the other one.

12. On Ollydbg press F8 to step over the function call. On the registers window (to the right of the code) you’ll see that EAX register has the value 00000000. That means the password is incorrect, let’s change that. Double click over the value of EAX to open the modification window. In the ‘Hexadecimal’ text box write 1 and press OK.

13. Now press F9 to continue. If everything went right the Deep Freeze configuration dialog will show up.

Deep Freeze 5.20.250.1125 and 5.30.150.1181 (Windows 9X): 3. Now we’re going to kill the login program. If you try to close it now you’ll see that the process shows up again on the list. To close it for good we first have to kill the process called MSGSRV32.EXE. Look for this process on the list, then right click over it and select ‘Kill Process’. If a confirmation message appears answer Yes. Next, right click over the process FrzState9X.exe and select ‘Kill Process’ again. Now the login program should be dead. Note: If the icon of Deep Freeze still remains on the system tray next to the clock, hover the mouse cursor over it to make it disappear.

4. Now run Ollydbg. Note: Make sure OllyScript is properly installed. There should be a menu called ‘Plugins’ where you’ll find a submenu called ‘OllyScript’. If this menu doesn’t appear in the program, that means you haven’t installed the plugin properly. To install it, go to the menu ‘Options’ and select ‘Appearance’. In the ‘Plugin path’ box write the address where you copied OllyScript files, press OK and restart the program. On the menu ‘File’ select ‘Open’ and look for the login program file (remember that Process Explorer told you where it was). Now click ‘Open’. If a warning message box shows up press ‘OK’, and if later a message box ask you if you want to continue the code analysis press ‘No’.

5. We have loaded the program, the problem is that it’s protected with Aspack 2.12 and we can’t see the real code. To solve this we’re going to use OllyScript and the ASPack 2.12 OEP finder script. Go to the ‘Plugins’ menu, and then to the ‘OllyScript’ submenu and select ‘Run script’.

6. Look for the script and open it. The script will find the OEP (original entry point). If any window shows up dismiss it. Note: We are now on the OEP. If you are an experienced user you can dump the program using OllyDump to analyze the code with a disassembler.

7. Right click over the code and a context menu will appear, select ‘Go to’ and then ‘Expression’ (or use the shortcut Ctrl+G).

8. In the text box enter the following value according to the Deep Freeze version you have installed and press OK.

Version Value 5.20.250.1125 408D34 5.30.150.1181 408E08

The program will jump to that line of code.

9. In this line the program decides if the password is correct. Let’s set a breakpoint here. To do that right click over the line and in the context menu select ‘Breakpoint’ and then ‘Toggle’ (or press F2).

10. We are almost done! Now let’s run this new Deep Freeze login program instance. To do that press F9. If Deep Freeze is configured to show the icon, now you’ll see it on the system tray next to the clock.

11. Now activate the login program by double clicking over the icon while you keep the shift key pressed or by pressing CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+F6. The login window will appear asking for the password. Write anything in the password box and press ENTER. The breakpoint we set earlier in Ollydbg will activate and the login program will freeze.

12. On the registers window (to the right of the code) you’ll see that the Z flag is set to 1. That means the password is incorrect, let’s change that. Double click over the Z flag value and you’ll see it changes to 0.

13. Now press F9 to continue. If everything went right the Deep Freeze configuration dialog will show up.

Deep Freeze 3.32.000.0534 (Windows 9X): 3. Now we’re going to kill the login program. If you try to close it now you’ll see that the process shows up again on the list. To close it for good we first have to kill the process called MSGSRV32.EXE. Look for this process on the list, then right click over it and select ‘Kill Process’. If a confirmation message appears answer Yes. Next, right click over the process FrzState.exe and select ‘Kill Process’ again. Now the login program should be dead. Note: If the icon of Deep Freeze still remains on the system tray next to the clock, hover the mouse cursor over it to make it disappear.

4. This version of Deep Freeze is protected with Aspack 2.11, so before we can work with the login program we have to unpack the file, and for that we are going to use DeASPack. Run DeASPack and a dialog box will show up and ask you to select a file to unpack. Look for the login program file (remember that Process Explorer told you where it was). Now click ‘Open’. The program will unpack the file and the dialog box will close.

5. Now run Ollydbg. On the menu ‘File’ select ‘Open’ and look for the unpacked file. The file is called out.exe and is in the same folder the login program is. Nex click ‘Open’.

6. When Ollydbg finish analyzing the program, right click over the code and a context menu will appear, select ‘Go to’ and then ‘Expression’ (or use the shortcut Ctrl+G).

7. In the text box enter 417410 and press OK. The program will jump to that line of code.

8. In this line the program decides if the password is correct. Let’s set a breakpoint here. To do that right click over the line and in the context menu select ‘Breakpoint’ and then ‘Toggle’ (or press F2).

9. We are almost done! Now let’s run this new Deep Freeze login program instance. To do that press F9. If Deep Freeze is configured to show the icon, now you’ll see it on the system tray next to the clock.

10. Now activate the login program by double clicking over the icon while you keep the shift key pressed or by pressing CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+F6. The login window will appear asking for the password. Write anything in the password box and press ENTER. The breakpoint we set earlier in Ollydbg will activate and the login program will freeze.

11. On the registers window (to the right of the code) you’ll see that the Z flag is set to 1. That means the password is incorrect, let’s change that. Double click over the Z flag value and you’ll see it changes to 0.

12. Now press F9 to continue. If everything went right the Deep Freeze configuration dialog will show up.

Vendor Response: ‘Faronics takes the security of our products very seriously and we began working on resolution to the password security issue as soon as we were made aware of it. We are happy to report that the issue was resolved on June 12, 2005 with a new Deep Freeze 5.5 release of the Standard, Professional, and Enterprise versions. In fact, the issue was already resolved before it was posted on the SecuriTeam site. We have already made all of our customers aware that the new version is available. If you are a Deep Freeze customer and have not received notification, you can request an update using the form at: http://www.faronics.com/html/updates.asp

It is important to note that the method described must be used on each workstation individually and the perpetrator would require physical access to the workstation; it will not work over a network.

Deep Freeze Windows Xp Windows 10

It requires an industrious, knowledgeable user who can find, download, and use the utilities that are referred to in the tutorial. Even then, the procedure must be followed to the letter and will not work in all cases. In cases where it does work, the user has essentially fooled Deep Freeze into believing that a correct password has been entered on that one individual workstation. The user could then tell Deep Freeze to boot Thawed and would therefore be able to make a permanent change to that single computer. This has been resolved with the 5.5 release and the method will no longer function.”

NOTES: This one shot is based on Loki having paid penance for ruining Thor's coronation. He never fell from the bifrost, nor attacked earth and is now free. Not to discount his true history, we just thought he deserved some happy. As for Felipe, he's based on the Spanish character Agador Spartacus, from the movie  The Birdcage and speaks in broken english. 

EXTRAS: Madre = mother  niña = girlfriend  panocha = pussy

Original Imagine  

Imagine thinking your new house is haunted. No one knows Loki lives there because he's always invisible and conjures furniture as needed. Disgruntled by your presence, he behaves like a poltergeist until one day you've had enough."I'm not leaving! Show yourself dammit!" Nothing happens for days and you think he's gone. Then while giving friends a tour, you find him naked on your bed drinking whiskey. "Cheers, darling. You did say show myself." Only you can see him and he follows you around like that for the remainder of their visit.

Loki was content residing on Midgard. With Thor King of Asgard remaining heavily influenced by Odin, he felt displaced as ever and decided to travel abroad. It was aloud providing he didn't hide from Heimdall and returned were the realm threatened, but that didn't mean he behaved. Midgard's continents teamed with beautiful maidens and Loki spent months at a time seducing them across the globe. Yet an introvert by nature, the constant socializing became exhausting. He needed intervals of solitude to rejuvenate his mind and cock. Indecisive of where, he conjured a world map, closed his eyes and randomly chose a location. 

First attempt. "A Frost Giant in the Amazon? I think not." 

Second. "Middle of the Bermuda Triangle? Know enough aliens already, thank you." 

Third. "Inside and active volcano? Fenrir's arsehole." He scoffed. 

Fourth. "Very well. Maine it is." 

The god settled in a vacant Victorian evicting its two following buyers with  'ghostly' shenanigans. Yet to the king of this miniature palace's annoyance the next didn't frighten so easily. 

Alexis was proud having bought her own house after a long divorce. Closer to friends and hours from meddling family, she'd thought herself free of troubles until sensing the place haunted. While unpacking, items started going missing and resurfacing in different places like her keys, clothing and once her vibrator after an evening of ménage à moi, disturbingly appeared in her dishwasher the next morning. Doors would slam, electricity short circuited, faucets unexpectedly ran, but most disconcerting was a voice randomly whispering 'mine' into her ear. Whether in the shower, her yard, doorways, the ghost didn't care. Alexis burned sage, had the house blessed, held a seance with a local paranormal group, but nothing helped. When returning after a long day at work to find half the main floor repacked, she angrily shouted into the air. 

"Ha ha, trickster! You don't scare me and I am 'not' leaving!" She held up a large envelope. "This is 'my' crib and here's the deed to prove it. Show yourself dammit!" Nothing happened so she put everything back, showered, grabbed her vibrator and stormed into the upstairs corridor. "And one more thing! See this? Touch it again and I'll summon your ass with a ouija board and douse you in holy water!" 

Loki inwardly chuckled. 'I'll be sure to bring a towel.' When she fell asleep reading in bed, he snuck a peek at what had intrigued her. 'Smutty fanfiction? Tisk, darling. Who could your heartthrob be? The name sounded familiar so he googled it. 'Ah, the actor from Crimson Peak. Good movie, but I'm much better looking. 'A wicked grin curled his lips when she moaned Tom's name. 'Maybe I need to play a little 'dirtier.'

With the next several days uneventful, Alexis thought she'd frightened the ghost off when in reality he was buying time. Since moving her in friends offered extra hands in their free time, but it was her befriended neighbor, a single gay man with a flamboyant, funloving personality who'd helped the most. They met one afternoon when she peered over his fence to complain about blaring Salsa music as he hosted a pool party. Felipe was sunbathing in a yellow thong, wearing sunglasses with enough bling to impress Liberace and choked on a shot of tequila when she whipped a pebble at his head. He invited her over with a promise to adorn shorts, they hit it off and became besties. 

Alexis planned to have other friends over for dinner one month after moving in, but with all the goings on had postponed twice. Now with a set date, Felipe was invited too and asked what she planned to cook.

"Who said anything about cooking? I suck at it Amigo and prefer no one hurling on my lawn." 

She waved a take out menu and he dramatically gasped. "Chinese food for eight people? Where you gonna put up you blow job booth to pay the mortgage after?"

Alexis smirked. "You're such a slut, Felipe."

He shrugged. "Happy whoopie stick makes a happy me."

"I think I've forgotten what they look like." 

"I show you mine, but no touchy touchy." She laughed, knowing he was kidding. "Too long without sex causes brain damage, niña. How long its been for you?" 

"Since my ex and I separated nineteen months ago."

"Ay dios mio. I lend you my Dustbuster for the cobwebs down there."

"Not funny, Felipe." 

"See. Abstinence makes everyone bitchy. My sister Maritza too. She was happy single before becoming a nun. Now she's Oscar the grouch with eyes like the chucky doll."

"How come you can pronounce words like 'abstinence' and 'cock' so well yet not others?" Alexis teased.

"Don't make me spank you. Come, we go shopping."

"For what?"

"I help you cook. We stay home and talk about cock, mine will curse me in Spanish. He's lonely too."

Alexis slipped on footwear. 

"Why you wearing those?" Asked Felipe.

"What's wrong with flip flops?" 

He stepped onto the porch. "You need something sexier, like bitch boots."

"It's ninety degrees in the shade today."

"So?"

Loki sighed when the door closed, relieved for some peace. He thought Felipe annoying enough as a neighbor yet worse as a guest who never stopped talking. So much so, he'd pondered concocting a tongue numbing spell, sneaking into his house and applying a heavy dose while he slept. But knowing his flair for drama, he'd run panicked to Alexis in the Boo from Monsters Inc. robe worn onto his deck every morning, carrying a note pleading to stay and until recovering, would hysterically sob each time he couldn't sing along to one of the show tunes on his phone. Loki opted to tolerate him for now. He'd be gone once Alexis left. 

The day of feasting came and while she handled finishing touches around the house, Felipe prepared guacamole dip and ingredients for fajitas while mixing margaritas. Hearing music, Alexis snuck to the kitchen and started recording him singing to Bad Girl, by Donna Summer while dancing like a hussy. 

"Toot toot, hey, beep beep

Toot toot, hey, beep beep

Hey mister, have you got a dime?

Hey mister, do you want to spend some time, ooh yeah

I got what you want, you got what I need

I’ll be your baby, come and spend it on me…"

He startled when noticing her.  "Girlfrien', you post that on social media, I kill you."

Alexis propped her phone on the counter and joined in wildly shaking her chest. 

Felipe tried the same. "No fair. I need big titties like yours to jiggle. Next time I bring tangerines and a bra."

Loki secretly watched on. 'Fucknuts.'

The three couples soon arrived. One, old neighbors of Alexis, Blake and Deidre, the others, her friends, Sage, Lisa and their newest flames Colby and Grant. She started a tour on the main floor then the upper leaving her bedroom for last. Excited to show it off, she was already opening the door as they shuffled out of the second.

"And this is my creme de la...eep!" She quietly squeaked once inside.

The resident spookster sat perched against her headboard sporting only what the Norn's delivered him to the universe in and winked pouring himself a whiskey. "You did say show myself, yes?"

She hurried out, slammed the door and her friends froze on approach. "Erm..wouldn't ya know I forgot to make my bed. Anyone for a drink?" 

Alexis passed them for the stairs and cringed when Deidre spoke. She was nice enough, but sometimes persistent when it wasn't welcome. "Nonsense, friends don't care. Right everyone?" 

Alexis continued down. "Enter at your risk then." 

Felipe watched her rush by into the pantry, close the door, followed and closed it too. "What you are doing?" 

"I can't go back out there."

"Why?" 

"He's upstairs naked on my bed." She anxiously whispered. 

"Which boyfriend? I take up the wooden spoon."

"No, the fucking ghost!" 

"It's a man? Is he hot and what do I tell your peeps? You afraid to come out of the closet?"

"Felipe!" 

"Sorry, it's the margaritas."

"I thought you the one person who believed my stories."

He eyed her sympathetically. "I do. You want I go bribe him to leave with a mcsqeezy?"

"Will you be serious? Ghosts aren't supposed to be naked. One look at him and everyone will think I invited them for an orgy." 

Blake and Grant came down first catching bits of their conversation and quietly conversed. 

"Can't believe she's still imagining this ghost." Blake wise cracked. "I always told Deidre she had a screw loose."

"Nah." Said Grant. "Lexi's a smart cookie. Sounds more like she needs a man. There's one inside with her. Maybe they'll shag, knock some shit off shelves." 

Felipe stuck his head out the door. "You not so quiet, cumquats. I gay. You want I show you my jolly green giant and shag 'you' inside against the creamed corn?"

Loki rubbed the back of his neck. 'I sacrificed prowling beaches of the French Riviera for this?'

Hearing the ladies coming, Alexis approached Blake and quietly inquired. "Still peeing in your wife's pond at night, murdering her koy? I'd see you through my bedroom blinds. Who's a few cans short of a six pack?" 

"Oooh snap." Said Felipe. 

Grant nudged the arse. "Let's chill in the dining room. There's a makeshift bar and appetizers."

The ladies entered the kitchen. "Who's a nincompoop?" Asked Deidre.

Felipe almost answered but pursed his lips together when Alexis loudly cleared her throat. "You know, just my ex."

"He sure is, honey." 

"Your bed's made, girl." Said Sage. "The room looks great." 

They all agreed passing through while thirty year old Lisa's younger boyfriend lingered. "Pretty awesome digs ya got here."

"Thanks." Replied Alexis.

Colby slid his hands into his pockets. "Soo..Lisa says you think it's haunted."

"Yep."

He spaced out for a second, staring at the floor. "I once thought a bat in our house was my dead uncle Howie haunting my parents for selling his mannequin of Vlad the Impaler. But hey, sometimes weird shit happens when you're stoned right?" Alexis and Felipe were saved when Lisa called him. "She misses me already. Laters." 

"He looks fresh from his madres panocha." Commented Felipe.

"That's the way Lisa likes them. Says the younger they are, the easier it is to train them."

Loki rolled his eyes. 'Age is irrelevant.'

Felipe feigned fright by playfully biting his nails. "She bad. Maybe Colby wear a leash and bark like a good doggy for her?" He goofily imitated one in a deep voice. "Woof, woof..woof. Or maybe he sound like an angry chihuahua?"

Alexis smirked. "I have my own problems. A streaking phantom who now makes unexpected appearances."

Felipe gave her a margarita. "Cheers. These make everything better." 

Alexis gulped down the beverage as he watched with raised brows. "Thanks. Next time that streaker appears, I'll just ignore him."

"Next time I give you smaller glass. Go enjoy you friends, niña"

She gave a thumbs up on her way out. "I got this. Easy peasy right?"

Loki mischievously grinned. 'Darling, I'm just getting started.
