Day 27, August 10, Saturday - Mayor Rogers is pissed off with Jack and had no trouble broadcasting his displeasure about the "Breakdown of Freeburg P.D." to the Press. In turn, all the newspapers' published headlines are about Mayor Rogers today.

Today, Officers Samadi and Robbins got food poisoning and are laid up in hospital for the next 5 days... Oops! On second thought, we shouldn't have ordered that discounted buffet for the staff a few days back. It looks like Shift A is understaffed with only 9 police officers remaining.

Jack receives $3,720 from the sale of Automatic Weapons and shares 50% of the proceeds with his staff.

Today's first crime, involves a Hit and Run in the City Center by a dark pickup, which required 3 more reinforcement officers later on.

The other big crime is a Disorderly Conduct along Fleet Street where a crowd of naked people were streaking through the streets. We deployed Senior Officer Flores and Officers Simpson, Forbes, Syahovich and Yorgenson, together with a Paddy Wagon to reign them in.

The Mafia War request for the day, involves a shootout and a brawl, both requiring 3 officers to be deployed each.

The major crime for the night is an Unlawful Assembly at City Hall by White Supremacist, which turned violent and required a total of 8 officers, SWAT and Paddy Wagon to quell.

In the meantime, the Homicide case gets resolved. Turns out, our perp is Timothy Foster who is unemployed but a rumoured cleaner for the Mafia.

The Mafia War is finally over, with Christopher G. Sand victorious and Vicus Varga defeated. Varga will never appear in Freeburg again.

At the close of day, we order Detective Soliz who is the Lead Detective on the Homicide to come back for work tomorrow as we need to arrest Timothy Foster.

i want u to know that in the my chemical romance shitpost subreddit's discord server we have a whole channel dedicated to emo husbandry. its like clown husbandry but with the mcr members, occasionally others. (peteus wentzus, vicus fuentius, riverus cuomous, etc). there are 3 of us and a married couple and we each have our own. mine is a mikeus wayus species named slup. the original was a feral basement breed gerardus wayus named booper that was rescued off the side of the street. (also a frankus ierous named kite and a rayus torus named ronto.) they all have their own breeds and needs and personalities. we take them on walks and they get to have playdates sometimes. currently there are only 4 actual pets but people will ask questions and we answer. (note: booper is no longer feral)

Effervescent. Thank you.

Here is a silly Repost from Tumblr.

A new magician tries to do spells on the batfam as practice. It fails in silly ways. (it's all just little harmless, inconvenient things.) It's gonna take them a while to realize it's magic being put on them and not someone in the Batman doing a prank war, though. Happing include: - Everyone's toothbrushes get swapped. - Their costume has their favorite color swapped out for their second favorite color. - They somehow always ended up with someone else's left sock, so its size is just slightly off. -All the soap is now bubblegum pink, it doesn't stain or color anything. It's just pink if it's being used by a family member. - Everyone batarrages swap around. Batman has the Robin R ones. Tim is stuck with wingdings etc. - During galas, everyone's perfume and cologne are swapped around. They don't realize before it's too late to take it off. Damien is stuck with Brucie's smelling like "Sex on legs" cologne for the duration of the night. While Brucie is stuck with Stef's perfume, I'm sure it smells like a teenage girl's dream. - Everyone's ration bars (I'm thinking like snacks on patrol) are swapped, so they are stuck with the one flavor they think is mid. It's going to take them a while to realize that they are all the same. Why are they all banana!? - Everyone ends up with one piece of paperwork by another bat; it's someone they are on friendly terms with, so they end up doing it for them. They will have to scramble to find out who has what, though. Tim is doing a budget thing for Jay, for example. - One of their phone contacts now has a unique ringtone they associate with the person with. One of them is stuck with Na na na na na na na batman - Everyone gets a few fan emails meant for other members of the fam. (I think one about each person wrapped in the spell) Bruce is gonna "lock up" his kids when he realizes Dick's butt, Jay's pecks, Timmy's tiny waist..etc, have rabbit fan clubs. Damien is gonna have to "keep home" as he is currently wielding a sword and shouting about honor and the like. - If two or more people bring a drink counter, the contents of the drinks will be swapped around. it's a good thing. Dami is vegetarian and not Vegan because he can have drinks with milk in them. That being said, soup does not count in this swap, as they can use meat-based broths. (So it's something they can drink but not somthing they want.) "Feather, is Drake part machine somehow?" Bruce thinks of Janet and doesn't answer... "His drink selections seem to consist of a substance as thick and vicus as motor oil, which might as well be jet fuel in terms of energy intake. It's vile, and I don't understand why he has yet to suffer side effects." -Everyone's bedsheets that used to be white are now a light shade of lilac (see Pantone color). They are silently judging Stef (Not her fault, though). -the spell changes out all the candles. Red duck candles, anyone? -The worst crime the spell has done to date is the Natreen tablets in Alfred's cookies. If you thought raisins were terrible, try whole chunks of Natreen tablets (the "sugar ran out" and Alfred used this as it was what was on hand). - All the ties and bows in the manner now have patterns on there is not a single one that is a single soiled color. -the doorbell chime now sounds like a text message alert.

Also certified jynx moment suggested just the lenses in dominoes getting switched.

Hadrian's Wall

Hadrian's Wall is an impressive masterpiece of military engineering built along steep ups and downs that cross space and history between England and Scotland.

The old wall, sculpted for almost 2000 years by wind and rain, climbs over hills, immerses itself in a moor to suddenly resurface among the blades of light of a wood, a karst presence that seems to absorb the energy of landscape to challenge its gravity and logic in a rollercoaster of harsh ups and downs that cross space and history.

Hadrian's Wall is no longer England but it is not yet Scotland, even if the land to the north seems wilder.

But perhaps it is just a state of mind of those who look at it, subtly altered by the emotion of treading the same stones on which the Roman legionaries walked.

In reality, unlike what many believe, the Wall is within English territory, even if it has helped define the borders of the two countries since the emperor from whom it takes its name ordered its construction in 122 AD to "separate the Romans from the barbarians," the hostile tribes of the Picts who populated today's Scotland, a tough nut to crack even for the Roman legions.

To build it in just six years, about fifteen thousand men were employed, three legions that faced the challenges of a terrain carefully chosen to exploit its advantages.

The result is an impressive masterpiece of military engineering, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1987, stretching from one coast of England to the other for eighty Roman miles, about one hundred and seventeen kilometers from Solway Firth to the west and Wallsend to the east.

It is one of the many place names linked to its existence and then extending southwards with ports and coastal fortifications.

For nearly three centuries, Hadrian's Wall was northernmost and most fortified boundary of the Roman limes, a gigantic defensive system that stretched for over five thousand kilometres — from the Atlantic coast of Great Britain to the Black Sea across Europe — then continuing through present-day Middle East to Red Sea and from there cutting across North Africa to the Atlantic.

The 117km long (80 Roman miles) Hadrian's Wall was punctuated by 14 main forts, 80 minor ones and 2 watchtowers every third of a mile.

In addition to the actual wall, mainly made of stone, about 5m high and up to 3m thick, becoming six metres thick in the earthen sections, the Wall was reinforced by a ditch bristling with pointed stakes, a military road that connected the forts and allowed any point to be reached quickly and by a deep embankment, the Vallum.

The forts, rectangular in plan, varied in size according to the importance of the garrison, a pattern repeated with slight differences along the entire limes that protected the borders of the empire.

A moat and a wall punctuated by towers protected the perimeter and each side had a gate protected by two massive towers.

Inside were the headquarters — the praetorium where the praefectus castrorum reside; barracks; a hospital; warehouses and latrines, generally under the walls, while the bathrooms were outside the fortifications.

In granary, food supplies were stored to face the harsh winters or possible sieges.

In the Vicus, the civilian settlement, lived the families of the soldiers, often auxiliaries who officially could not marry.

In these villages that grew spontaneously around the forts, merchants, artisans and prostitutes also lived, attracted by the soldiers' wages.

There were also temples dedicated to Roman, local and even oriental deities that reflected the different religions of soldiers from all over the empire because Romans were very tolerant as long as the social order and the emperor were not questioned.

A stroll through the old city of Namur, the capital of Wallonia, which is the southern french speaking region of Belgium.

The city is old; inhabited continuously since 2500 BC, a vicus in later roman times it retracted as a small fortified town around the late 3rd century AD, and becoming a market town in the 11th century surrounded by a stone city wall. The city grew steadily and in 1530 a 4th enlarged city fortification had to be constructed. Initially ruled by local lords it got a city council during the 12th century. In the 15th century the city had 8000 inhabitants, significantly less than the populous and prosperous cities in Flanders.

Between 1578 and 1585 it temporaly becomes the capital of the Habsburg rule of the Netherlands after protestant troops took Brussels.

In the 17th and 18th century the city is attacked and bombarded several times by an wide array of battling parties as part of different wars, The French wars, the Spanish Succession War, the Austrian War of Succession. And the fortress above the city housed for almost 2 centuries a garnison of the army of the Dutch Republic.

The city's importance was always it's strategic location. Also during the Industrisl revolution it was in important logistical hub between neighbouring industrial regions.

Just before the First World War initially unofficial and during the War officialised by the oocupying power ( German Empire) , the city became the capital of the French speaking part of Belgium.
