Hi! I (27 F) am working on a passion project to be displayed in an exhibit. I'm looking for an old lady, preferrably very wrinkled, who is willing to do a topless photoshoot with me. The shoot will not be lewd or erotic. It's going to be a conceptual photoshoot that tells a story. If you happen to know someone, or if you have any suggestions on where to look (Facebook groups or other ), please do let me know. I hope you could help me bring my dream project to life. Thank you so much! 💖

With the EA Sports College Football 25 cover being released this Thursday, I thought it would be interesting to look back at all covers — and not just the EA covers, but the athletes featured on covers of rival games by Sony, Sega, and other competitors.
Competition is a good thing. Putting these in chronological order takes me back to the era where there were options (I bought my first game in the '90s, and played a lot of 2k2).
If you count the 2 players that are identifiable off of "College Football USA 96" there have been 36 cover athletes across 34 editions of college football games (plus an active coach, mascot, two band members, and an unidentified player)
This post is going to look cleaner in "old" view. You can swap the "www" with "old" in the URL or just click here.

Further notes:

Bill Walsh was picked because there was an early-theme of having big names on sports video games.

• EA actually started this back when they were the cool, bad boy of games in the 1980s (I'm that old, they packaged their games like records and put photos of their programmers that made them look like musicians on the back) with the pioneering PC game One on One: Dr. J vs. Larry Bird (1983), later updated to Jordan vs. Bird: One on One (1988).
• Nintendo got into it by localizing Punch-Out! as Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! (1987) for NES. EA brought out John Madden Football (1988) for PC.
• Sega was wild about this when they launched the Genesis with Arnold Palmer Tournament Golf (1989), Tommy Lasorda Baseball (1989), Pat Riley Basketball (1990), Joe Montana Football (1991).
• 1993: Bill Walsh! There even was an EA Coach K college hoops game.

Bill Walsh may have got the cover curse:

• While he had retired from the San Francisco 49ers on top, after winning his 3rd Super Bowl, he had only returned to the Farm for a year when he was picked (he had a good first tenure in the 70s before jumping to the 49ers).
• In 1992 he took the Cardinal to a Blockbuster Bowl win and a #9 rank. Signed this deal for EA.
• After the first game came out he had two bad seasons and re-retired for good.

The progression of teams is fun to see.

• 1993: the top 24 college football teams from 1992 + 24 of the all-time greatest teams since 1978. The teams were unlicensed so they used city and state names, especially where similar to their real names (e.g. Michigan). But you got some fun results like a spirited game of "South Bend, IN" vs "Raleigh, NC"
• 1994: 36 Division I-A teams, but the bowls were still not included: Instead we get Maple Bowl, Palm Bowl, Pecan Bowl, and Redwood Bowl
• 1995: first version to feature all (108 at the time) Division l-A teams, the real bowl games like Orange, Sugar, Fiesta, and Rose. Includes older names but also the Pacific Tigers, which actually dropped football before the game was released.

The rights to the title "NCAA" license wasn't obtained by EA until 1998 (as you can see there was an earlier one-off by Mindscape). Its ability to use the NCAA's brands in the the football game was actually the secondary result of a licensing deal intended primarily for an EA "March Madness" basketball game.

[First] [Previous] [Next]
When did I allow this to happen? How is it ten at night already? I just played a couple of rounds and it’s already dark outside!

“You should know already that your perception of time is FUBAR. Not to mention these hobbies of ours really don’t help grasping what’s going on.”

It didn’t use to be like this.

“Oh yeah? Can you remember how long you’ve been using the computer?”

Of course I can. It’s been in my life since I was like six or something, when Dad brought home that used computer with all the Dobrand games! But I didn’t pay much attention to it back then…

“That’s not how I remember it. We used to spend entire afternoons playing with the Encyclopedia, and trying out those games we barely understood. Maybe going into the Cartoon Central website too, even if we couldn’t read very well. Face it, we’ve always been addicted to distractions…”

Ok, maybe a little, but–

“And even before we started to use the internet more seriously, we’ve never been very into sleeping at all. Remember how we used to check the channels back then? Zapping and looking for stuff on the TV? Back then everything was so scary and novel at these hours… Now it feels just like a routine. We’ve always been night owls.”

Frowning and feeling the voice creeping on me more than usual, I finally close the game and my computer, standing up and turning on the lights to look at my room. The floor is still filthy, the plates are still scattered about… opening my closet, I not only see what remains of my clean clothes and the old montgomery hanging, but also the old bamboo blade I used to train with.

“Yeah. Remember that? How everyone looks for a local sport to practice and you chose fucking kendo? Not sure if that was just the weaboo in you, or you are just that pretentious.”

I pick up the long stick and take a look at it from the sides. Four bamboo sticks, held together tightly by leather straps and string. It’s elegant in its simplicity, firm enough to hurt a little when hit by it, but not strong enough to really harm, mostly thanks to the white leather covering its tip. The handle has the dark stains of sweat coming from the months of use.

“Before you left it incomplete, like everything in your life.”

Sigh.

I put the blade back in the closet and then turn around, grabbing the many plates and cups that were piling up in the room and walking the dark way over to the kitchen to clean them up.

“Cleaning plates in the middle of the night. That’s the kind of stuff Venus did back when she was here, just to call your attention.”

Ignoring this annoying voice is getting harder… I am tempted to pick up the S.O.S. pill, but if I do that I can say goodbye to my agency for the entire night and maybe even a few hours after waking up. Urgh.

“Guess you’re stuck with me, huh?”

Biting my lower lip, I try to focus on the task at hand, cleaning each plate as carefully as I can and trying to ignore the feeling of grease building up on my hands. Saints above, it is so disgusting! I can’t stand it, really. But if I keep letting the plates stack up, I’ll never do it.

“Look at you trying to be responsible. So silly. You’ll just let them stack up again soon enough.”

“What matters is that you are trying your best.”

Ah, there She is. Still talking from the corner of the room… Her kindness has always felt fabricated to me. Fake.

“It’s hard to accept mercy from yourself.”

You are not me.

The glugging of the drain interrupts me before I can start arguing again. With a heavy sigh, I let the water run away to clean my hands for a moment, and then, now that everything is clean and in place, I close it and walk back to my cave and take a seat back beside the window, opening the blinds just to see the darkness of a misty winter night in Saüle.

“Maybe it’s time to sleep after all.”

“You’ll just start rolling around, kicking and stirring all night.”

“You’ll eventually fall asleep!”

“Or maybe you won't. Let’s just keep playing until the Sun rises.”

I’ll do you both one better and just go back to the living room to check Dejima.

“Oh right! It has been a few hours, hasn’t it?”

“If you are so eager to be disappointed…”

Taking the computer back to the dining table and reconnecting it to the Tripolar Edge Router is easy enough, and yet I still feel the anticipation killing me. My hands tremble a bit as I type the address again, and even more when I have to wait the eternity until it loads.

My post… it got answers! Four answers to be exact! It’s not much but, considering how few users are online at a given time here, it’s good!

“omg it’s so cute when people actually come and use the ‘Introductions’ spot. I mean it, it’s great. It’s also cool to see new faces here, welcome! My dms are open if you want to ask anything.” — GalaxyTaco

“Hey there! We are all glad to have you here! If you have any doubts or questions, throw them my way and I’ll see to answer them whenever I can!” — Ventotto

“Fresh meat, bring out the paddles! Just kidding, welcome in, kid. Hope to see ya in the chatbox one day.” — jeepcreep

“Welcome. Complete your profile data.". — ογδόντα

Three of these are mods, so that was to be expected… but this ‘GalaxyTaco’ guy. He seems like a nice fella. Maybe trying to gun for mod too, or maybe just a legitimately friendly person! Whatever the case, the Helenian mod had made a fantastic point. I did have to complete the profile stuff.

“Does it have to be now? It’s late…”

Yes, it does. I click back to my profile and, well, it asks stuff like ‘Email’, ‘Country’, ‘Languages Spoken’ and ‘Gender’, all easy to answer.

Email: [simple.times@gamail.com]()
Country: Wohl.
Languages Spoken: Wohlian, Dobrand.
Gender: I’d rather not say.

“What sort of stupid answer was that?! Are you really this delusional!?”

Please. Just… let me have this…

“Don’t come crying when they learn you’re a man and you get all embarrassed.“

“Are they a man? Have you not stopped for a second to think that maybe they would be more comfortable as a–”

Shut up.

Both of you. You are looking way too deep into this. I’ll leave it as it is and that’s final.

With a huff, I go to the next section of the profile… ‘Referred to by:’

Oh no.

“Well, time to skip that one.”

There was no way I could just say ‘Ah, I found it in a book’ without getting strange looks. Not to mention the book itself told me not to talk about it for anything.

Next.

‘Mystical Specialization’.

“Saints damn it.”

I could just copy the specialization from some other profile, but then what if they decided to ask me about it? Well, that wouldn’t be a problem if I decided not to get in the chatbox at all… but I won’t advance in my investigation at all if I don’t talk to people, right?

I decide to just leave it open, for now.

Finally, I just gotta put a ‘Comment’ in the end of my profile… hmmm…

Comment: ‘Please don’t kill me.’

“A little on the nose?”

It’s all in good humor. I hope.

With that done, I don’t waste time on making a signature for myself (yet) and go straight to check on the Chatbox.

Four people: ‘GalaxyTaco’, ‘Ventotto’, ‘souseiseki’ and… uh… ‘Canned Tea’.

I take a deep breath… and log in.

Tav has connected to the Chatbox.
souseiseki: byeeee canny!! <3
GalaxyTaco: bye dude
Canned Tea has disconnected from the Chatbox.
souseiseki: … who tf are u o.o

Fuck. That was fast. Immediately singled out and everything, oh no. I panic, unable to really write any answers, when suddenly:

GalaxyTaco: sou that’s tav! the new peep? you saw the introductions post right??
souseiseki: oh right o.o i don’t care for those
GalaxyTaco: how’s it going dude? man, if youre wohlian it must be fucking late!
Tav: Hi, hi n.nUu
Tav: Yeah, it’s a bit late but I can’t sleep u.u
GalaxyTaco: hah, been there…
Canned Tea has connected to the Chatbox.

The guy came back again? What gives??

Canned Tea: sorry tav, didn’t see you come in.
Canned Tea: don’t want you to think Im avoiding ya.

The fear WAS in my brain, to be honest. I can’t help but smile a bit when the guy returns to clarify.

Tav: Oh it’s all good! n.n thank you though uwu
souseiseki: don’t cuddle this f**got Canny o.o

I wince. Oof. That’s… wow.

Canned Tea: sou.
Canned Tea: i’ve told you not to shittalk like that, girl.
souseiseki: sorry, slipped off my mind
Canned Tea: anyways, now im going to sleep.
Canned Tea: welcome in Tav. i’ll be seeing ya later.
Tav: For sure! n.n bye Canned Tea!
Canned Tea: just call me canny, girl.
Canned Tea: see ya.
Canned Tea has disconnected from the Chatbox.

I feel my face burning for a moment there. Am I blushing!? Fuck.

“Welp, you’re proving souseiseki right, at least.”

Shut the fuck up.

@ Ventotto: Hmm. I’ve told him not to assume gender like that.
GalaxyTaco: Holy shit 28 ur alive!!! O.o
GalaxyTaco: Now THAT is surprising.
@ Ventotto: I was about to leave but, like Canny, I wanted to say welcome again to Tav.
Ventotto: I hope you find your spot here soon. If you have anything you’d want translated and analyzed, go to the Translation subforum. Ok?
Tav: For sure! Thank you uwu
@ Ventotto: See you all later.
@ Ventotto has disconnected from the Chatbox.
souseiseki: i’m not staying here with you losers o.o
souseiseki: bye.
souseiseki has disconnected from the Chatbox

“Well bitch I didn’t want to talk with you either!” I practically snarl in real life, taking a deep breath and rubbing my temples. “Urgh. Not even an hour in and I’m already fed up with someone…”

GalaxyTaco: bah pay her no mind dude.
GalaxyTaco: she’s just Like That™
Tav: I’ll try…
Tav: Thank you for the welcome post, by the way uwu
Tav: I was worried no one would answer… u.u
GalaxyTaco: not gonna lie dure, that was a big possibility!
GalaxyTaco: people here ain’t the most social, honestly.
GalaxyTaco: speaking of, that reminds me!
GalaxyTaco: how DID you find the forum? if someone gave you the link but didn’t show you the ropes, that’s kind of an asshole move to pull!

Damn it all. That question again! This guy seemed nice so he probably didn’t mean anything by it but, it was a little frustrating to have to give explanations like that. Then again, this was supposed to be a secret of sorts, so I shouldn’t be that surprised I guess? But well, surprised or not, I need an answer to give. Come on, brain, make up something! An excuse! Anything!

“How the Hells do you want us to make up something if we know nothing of mages and such!? Are you stupid!?”

“We do know something. This ‘Elysium’ place seems to be important, maybe mentioning it would be enough to throw GalaxyTaco off your scent!”

“He’s not an idiot. Using jargon without really understanding it is a great way to look like an outsider.”

“Remind me again why we can’t just tell him the truth…?”

“The woman from the book, Humiko, told us not to talk about it if we can avoid it.”

“Well then, can we avoid it now…?”

…

GalaxyTaco: ah shit dude, sorry to cut this short but I gotta go get lunch
GalaxyTaco: talk to you later!
GalaxyTaco has disconnected from the Chatbox.

I deflate for a moment there, closing my eyes. Lucky break, I guess! Or at least, I think it is … until I get a notification from the forum: a direct message! Clicking the icon, I can see it’s from GalaxyTaco.

Sorry for the intense question but, it’s kind of important.
If you don’t fill your profile soon, 82’s totally gonna ban you.
You weren’t referred here by anyone you can mention, huh?
Let’s talk more privately.
[tacomadeofgalaxies@messages.com]()
Don’t disconnect from the TER when talking, that way no sleeper government can check on us.
I’ll be up after lunch.
Trust me, it’s important.—- GalaxyTaco

Oh shit. I was read like a book.

A part of me is relieved the guy is worried about me… but then, the suspicions arise. What if this guy is working with the mods? Or worse, with the cloaks! I haven’t even encountered these people and yet their presence around me fills me with dread and anxiety, mostly because I have no idea what to expect from them!

But another part of me is simply desperate for having someone to talk to about this, and he did say that while I keep the TER (which I assume is the Tripolar Edge Router) on, no orgs can check on me. So maybe…

“You’re gonna regret that.”

Maybe. But we will see about that when we get there.

Hello, welcome to the Brazilian Classics Rate! This rate covers five albums released between the years 1968 and 1974, exploring the likes of Tropicália, MPB, Samba, and more. We are excited to enjoy this music with both long time fans, and also welcome newcomers to experience these all-time favorites for the first time.
Note: I am not Brazilian and am not a Portuguese writer / speaker. My apologies if anything is lost in translation through this process.
Hold on: What’s a rate?
About once a month, this subreddit holds games called “rates” where a host selects a collection of songs and people score each song on a scale of 1-10 (with a single 11 & a 0 available as well). Ballots of these scores are submitted, and then over “reveal” weekend, the host takes the averages of the songs and eliminates them from worst to best, giving one song out of all the albums the top spot, the crown, & bragging rights forever.
Our sister subreddit popheads has a Guide to Rates Video that can give you a broad overview of rates (please note our reveal process is thread-based instead of video chatrooms). And here's recent examples of a rate announcement and a rate reveal.

Os Mutantes - Os Mutantes (1968)
Os Mutantes was made up of Rita Lee, and the brothers Arnaldo Baptista and Sérgio Dias. In 1968 Os Mutantes released their debut album, were featured on the Tropicália Ou Panis Et Circenses compilation, and performed as the backing band for Gilberto Gil's self-titled second album. The Tropicália movement embraced taking international ideas and re-interpreting them, combining them to create something Brazilian. Os Mutantes will likely be a favorite for those who love psychedelic rock.

1. Panis et Circenses
2. A Minha Menina
3. O Relógio
4. Adeus, Maria Fulô
5. Baby
6. Senhor F
7. Bat Macumba

Gal Costa - Gal Costa (1969)
Another featured artist from the Tropicália Ou Panis Et Circenses compilation, Gal Costa released her debut album in 1967, and her follow-up self titled album in 1969. Gal Costa was close friends with both Gilberto Gil and Caetano Veloso as well as their spouses, and Gal Costa's bossa nova debut Domingo was a close collaboration with Veloso. By the release of Gal Costa we hear more of the impact of Tropicália and psychedelia on her sound. This self titled album features more songs from writers besides Veloso, including songs written by Gilberto Gil, Rosil Cavalcanti, Tom Zé, Roberto Carlos, Erasmo Carlos, Jorge Ben, and Torquato Neto.

Clube Da Esquina - Clube Da Esquina (1972)
The Clube Da Esquina name (Corner Club) refers to a corner of the street where Lô Borges used to live, and Borges and Milton Nascimento played for fun in the 1960s.
“I hope our young people don’t allow themselves to be swept up in this dictatorship business, because they don’t understand what it was like,” said [Milton Nascimento] who was stalked by agents from the notorious department of political and social order as his career took off in the 1960s. “Whenever we were going to release a song we had to send it to them for them to censor.” Eventually, Nascimento’s manager rented an isolated beach house where the musicians were free to compose the record of their lives. “It was wonderful … just us and the waves rolling up to our front door,” said Borges. “We weren’t thinking about selling millions of records or being the next big summer hit. We just wanted to make art.” Nascimento smiled as he recalled how that legendary album was conceived half a century ago, far from the prying eyes of the dictatorship. “It was a record made just by friends … We’d spend all day composing, from the moment we awoke with the fishermen bringing in their nets to the moment we went to bed.”
The cover of the album features a picture of two boys playing in rural Rio de Janeiro by the photographer Carlos da Silva Assunção Filho (also known as Cafi).

During the making of Acabou Chorare, they were mentored by the "Father of Bossa Nova", João Gilberto. The album's title (translated as No More Crying) also came from a story about Gilberto's daughter.
Note: the album has two versions of Preta Pretinha, track 2 which is the full version and track 10 which seems to have been a radio edit. We are only rating the full version of the song.

"I’m not in any movement, no. I think movements adopted me."
Jorge Ben Jor is the first recorded artist of the five here, but A Tábua De Esmeralda is chronologically our latest recorded album of the rate. This one is arguably a concept album; influenced by the Hermetic text "The Emerald Tablet" as well as Jorge's interest in alchemy, and features songs focused on Afro-Brazilian identity such as "Zumbi".

Rules - PLEASE READ ALL OF THESE BEFORE SUBMITTING YOUR SCORES
Listen to each song and assign each a score between 1 and 10. Decimals are fine, but please refrain from giving decimal scores with more than 1 spot. This is because I'm using a computer program to parse the votes and print everything out (more on that later).
You have to listen to and score every song in the main rate. Otherwise, I will not accept your ballot as it will crash the program (more on that later).
Your scores should NOT be considered confidential as they aren’t. Feel free to shitpost about them in the general discussion threads whenever you feel like it - users over at popheads usually just talk about their averages of the albums and what 11 and 0 they gave (which I will explain on the next bullet point!)
You may give ONE song a 0 and ONE song an 11 in the main rate. Please reserve these for your least favorite and most favorite tracks; excessive sabotage ruins rate results and generally makes things less fun.
You can change your scores at any time! Feel free to PM me at any point after submission before the deadline and I'll be happy to revise them for you.
I am using a computer program that fellow rater letsallpoo designed in order to parse these votes! While this will make things a lot more efficient and reduces errors on my part, this does mean that scores need to be sent in a very specific way. The easiest way to make sure your scores follow the necessary format is to use the pre-prepared link at the top & bottom of this post. PLEASE USE THAT. You can copy and paste it to a notepad file or something and fill in your scores there, but PLEASE use that format to send in your scores.
DO NOT SABOTAGE the rate by giving outrageously low/high scores for the sole purpose of skewing the results, we reserve the right to exclude any ballot we suspect of this. If you're worried your scores could be mistakenly perceived as such, all you need to do is leave comments explaining the reasoning behind them.

Hi there everyone, I kind of curious, I have been writing a crossover fanfic in the style of Super Robot Wars storylines. One of the Franchises I want to add is RWBY, however, I never really got into the series until playing Blazblue Cross Tag Battle and during his time I started read up on the series on various wiki pages.
So, if I'm wrong on any details or something does seem to match the character's personalities, please tell me!
In this point of the fanfic, it took place after my idea of an ending to the series, so here goes nothing!
The white haired huntress explained why she feels this is the case, telling them the story of her younger brother and his road for redemption.
For the longest of times, Whitley had nothing but hatred for his older sisters and saw the hunters and huntresses as below him, mocking Weiss every moment he had while she was under house arrest. Escaping from this sham of a home, she swore the boy and their father were nothing but monsters and for their actions were things that she never could forgive. That is until it was after the arrest of their father and their manor being invaded by Grimms that cracks were showing in his facade of pettiness.
"During that fight, Whitley wanted nothing but to run off, until he saw our mother fighting against the Grimm before falling from the underuse of her Semblance when he knew he needed to help."
After saving Willow and learning from their mother that Whitley was as much of a victim as anyone else that the middle child chose to mend their damaged relationship. During the fall of their home Kingdom of Atlas, he continued to help by having all the SDC Saircrafts to save anyone and everyone to relocate the people to Vacuo. When the Team RWBY and Jaune return from Ever After, he became part of the attacking forces as a commander to help defeat Salem's forces.
In the final battle, He was present to witness Ruby Rose and Kairi sparing the now depowered and mortal Salem, who was told to simply live with reminders of her sins haunting her until the day she died, as this was her last life. "While we watch Salem leaving to parts unknown, I thought Whitley was going to say something foolish, but to my surprise, he only watched.
In the four weeks after Salem's defeat, Whitley began his new life but it was something to adjusted to as he worked a part time job and began to start classes in that first week The heir of whatever remained of the SDC let his hair grow out slightly, he may have been inspired by a picture of Jaune's appearance during his time in Mistral but still kept a very clean appearance.
It wasn't until a week ago that there were some Jacques' old associates from Vacuo wanted to give Whitley the position of CEO of a new company, one named Phoenix Ash.
"At first, I thought he just wanted to go back to his old ways of life when he agreed to the deal, Asked from me was to trust him about this..."
Out of the blue, The new CEO of the Phoenix Ash Group called for a Public Announcement. Weiss and Winter were watching on a monitor in an aircraft outside of the city. Fearing for the worst, that he would be making empty promises to make a postive public image, the boy spoke of ending the practices of abusing Fanuas workers. This was a lie that their father made to the press when he was alive, before the young CEO spoke of his new idea.
When questioned by the Press, Whitley told the world that he his idea was to start finding better sources than just Dust to rely on, so he would put his own Lien that he held on since childhood to fund this research. If this research was successful, then he would personally see to the closure of all Dust Mines under the Pheonix Ash banter but threaten that if any of the Fanuas workers were harmed during his time as CEO, that under his leadership that he personally see it that the abusers' paychecks would go to their victims and repeated offenders would be fired as quickly as possible. The two sisters begin to noticed that four of The Board Members who hired him were in shaking in their boots.
"Young Sir, please think of the words you speak..." one of Jacques' remaining associates on the board begged to hopefully conviced the boy to reconsider these ideas
"I am fully aware of the words coming from my mouth as much as you were aware of letting my father's actions slide so you can make more Lien. So, to be quite blunt, SHUT IT OR FIND NEW JOBS!" This wasn't like the boy they once knew while Jacques was thriving, he was a new Whitley Schnee that wouldn't be swayed by the idea of making Lien in dishonest ways and wouldn't allow anyone under his leadership to harm the Faunus workers.
"DAMNED BLEEDING HEART BRAT, YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BE LIKE JACQUES, THE REAL HEIR OF THE NAME OF SCHNEE!"
The oldest board member, a muscular bald man of over fourty who was still extremely loyal to the deceased CEO of SDC, charged at the youth with a knife! The youngest of the Schnee clan knew there would be risks, but didn't have any fighting experience to counter this attack.
"WHITLEY!" Weiss cried out as she knew she wouldn't be able to stop the would be killer's attempt of assassination, however, a certain green eyed Faunus, who's loyalites to Robyn Hill last to this day, arrived in enough time to stopped the youth's would be killer.
"You really think that Fiona Thyme would let you kill your new boss? As IF!"
Within a mere set of seconds, the man of three hundred and something pounds was on the ground, each insult that was aimed at the girl was countered with his former boss nodding for the girl to wack the creep across his bald head. This last for a couple of minutes until the police to take his sorry ass to jail as well as charging the Faunus with a minor crime. The girl knew that there would no way to escape but chose not to surrender as she put her hands behind her head much to the cheers of some in the crowd.
However, In those five seconds before the cuffs closed on her hands, The CEO jumped off of the platform and stood in between the messy haired Faunus girl and the arresting officer, slapping the cuff out of the man's hands to the shock of the world. When asked to step aside, the boy's answer to this was something everyone in Remnant, who were either in the crowd or watched from afar from their scrolls, never expected.
"You're really asking me to step aside, so you could take away a war hero's future? I choose to refuse for we all know these charges against her are nothing but baseless. She fought on the side of various heroes! Heroes ] from the Battle of Beacon, like the Teams: RWBY, JNPR, SSSN, FNKI, ABRN and CFVY, the heroes without teams like Lady Kairi, Qrow Branwen, and Taiyang Xiao Long, Heroes like Ilia Amitola and the Belladonna clan who were once White Fang members but left before the assassination of Sienna Khan and return to fight to stop the once peaceful group when they saw what it became under the command of Adam Taurus, heroes like the remaining members of the Ace Operatives, who fought their own feelings of sadness when they lost Clover Ebi and came together after they realized James Ironwood was in the wrong, after the man fell into despair because of how the upper class saw the innocent victims in Remnant and used Atlas as a ram to prevent the Grimm from gaining another advantage point. These groups of heroic and wonderful people came together to save the world from the forces of Salem, so why can't we, the civilains they protected, do the same?!"
There were some mutters from the civilians that watch on the ground level before one of the rich members of the crowd, a man named Harry Marigold, brought up that Weiss may have saved the world but of her crime of summoning the Grimm at the charity event at Schnee Manor should be held accountable before the youth counter with.
"The crime that night was one in justified anger when you, Harry Marigold, who ignored her sadness and only wanted my sister's attention for bragging rights, that damnable trophy wife, her weak minded shell of a husband, the former CEO of the SDC, myself and many others of the Upper Class chose to cruely mocked the recently deceased of Vale and proudly laughing about the deaths of the many innocents of the fallen Kingdom who had nothing to do with the fighting. fates we claimed that civilains deserved!? If anything, she didn't summoned the Grimm to harm anyone but wanted us demons to understand that life is not to be taken as a joke or anything to not to be take lightly. The real crime that night was that the Grimm didn't caused more damages to Schnee manor and not having the monster hurt any of us because of our cruelity to the dead! But because the CEO of SDC cared for nothing but his public image, when she confronted that scumbag for our actions and for using her as a prize toy for everyone to see, his only reaction was to slapped my sister across her face and denied her Birthright!
This made the rich members of the crowd uneasy, as they knew that they were being put in their places. They wanted the youth to be silenced but he continued, angry and filled with something that he should've had a long time ago, a frightful sense of Justice.
"For too damn long, I was blinded by my family's name, not knowing it was nothing but an evil curse and if it wasn't for my sister's actions that night and the night her team and the remaining members of team JNPR saved the lives of my poor mother and the sorry shell of a person. I, too, would've remained under the very same spell of ignorance that the old fool relished in to keep us in line. So, for you to order me around, to use my sister justified attempt on the upper class to see her honorable view on life so who could silence my words, and to force this maiden, who has fought harder than anyone here because fearful paranoia bigots using unjust hatred of every Faunus to make her life a living torture device, for her to rot in a prison cell without a fair trial, just for saving my life? That command is UNFORGIVABLE!" The boy screamed loudly and in pure rage so everyone could hear his plea.
Fiona was in shock, she heard from various communities of the Faunus that the SDC and clan of Schnee were nothing but monsters, worse than any of Salem's Grimms. Even after meeting the huntresses of Team RWBY, she believed Weiss was the only one of the family who wanted to set things right in the world.
Even through she hated the idea to keep an eye on the Schnee heir, even if it was a jobn from her trusted leader. His father and the fellow members of the Board in the SDC saw the Faunus and wanted nothing but for them to be trapped in cages without futures, But to see with her eyes, the very son made to follow in these footsteps of selfish desires, meaning every single word that left his mouth, these words that were filled with a justified desire to save the young girl from an unfair fate, was so unreal.
"If anything, it was the wicked ideas of greed that the deceased CEO held dear tt were one of the many factors that broke our world, Jacques Sc..." The boy stopped for less than a second before continuing in anger.
"....Actually no, I refuse to allow that bastard to my family's name any longer, even in death! Jacques Gélé was never a father, he was nothing but an unredeemable thief without a sense honor, who used dirty lies to trick my dying grandfather into his once humble life, the honorable man that should've had the right to lived long enough to prevent the future Gélé wanted, Nicholas Schnee!"
"Who used my recently deceased mother's, Willow Schnee, love and trust to steal a company he was never worthy to rule over from underneath her. When she learned of his deception and his lies in their sham of a relationship, the once loving and carring mother only means to escape from his wicked virus was to drink her sorrows away and seclude herself from the world!
"His sickness was something that their three children were not immuned to as he saw nothing from us but to be used as pawns so he could gain more power! It wasn't until we learned better ways to live by others, others who actually cared, that we actually became good people!"
"The first of us was to learn this lesson was The Soldier who proven herself time and time again, who enlisted in the Atlas military to get away from the sickness that Gélé took pleasure in, who leaders knocked the views of hatred for the Faunus and the usage of cheap tricks out of her, my oldest sister, Commander Winter Schnee!
"My second oldest sister, Huntress Weiss Schnee, who learn of the shame that her family name carried at her time in Beacon, who was forced to leave after the battle by Gélé for supposed safety only to be paraded around as a prize trophy daughter for his friends in the upper class, who felt the sting of venom when that man refused to accept her heroic heart, forcing her to escape his maddess so she could continued helping those who were suffering!"
"And then there's myself, Whitley Schnee, the boy who was so scared with the various changes to his home life that he chose to follow in that thief's footsteps, who once mocked the dead of Beacon along with the others in the Upper Class, who has never fought for anything and even in that last battle, was so powerless to prevent more tragedies for befall those he commanded to fight on his behalf! The boy who's heart is filled with so much regret because of his idiotic choices in life but is now filled a newly found sense of Justice, who only goal now is to find a cure for the poison, so he could, no! will make our world a better place than it was in the past!"
The crowd was stunned thar they couldn't help but to stay silent.
"Gélé has cause so much suffering to the Faunus and to many other communities. That suffering spread in the Kingdoms like wildfire. When my grandfather died, so did the fairness and honor that the Schnee name held on to....but not anymore! MY DREAM is to stop the suffering that Gélé relished in so he could live like a damn lazy king!
Whitley then put his hands behind his head and told the world.
"So if this girl goes to prison, so will I! All I asked of those listening is not to cheer no matter what the outcome is, not to cry for this foolish boy who has fought for nothing, but to simply think about his words and the weight they pull!" Whitley's blood was boiling as The puppet CEO's bight blue eyes widden to show everyone that his dream was one that the boy will work for through his pain.
After this decree was finished, everything was slient before the officer asked. "Would you die for that dream..?"
Whitley, answered with all seriousness. "If I die, then I would gladly die with a hundred stabs to my heart and soul to make damn sure that my dream becomes reality." The officer waved to another cop to bring in a second set of handcuffs, much to both cops dismay.
"Alright, I'm sorry. Whitley Schnee for disobeying a officer of the law, you have to come with us."
Whitley said not a word as the cuffs latched onto his hands. As if to respect the boy's wishes, There were no one in the crowd, maybe even in Remnant, cheering about the arrest of these two, even though the boy said he had nothing but hatred of those that surround Gélé mocking those that died in Beacon, none of the them wanted nor could cheer, for to celebrate this would be nothing but hallowed.
On route to the department to put the two in the holding cells until they could make bond, the two talked, mostly it was Whitley asking the girl a thousands questions of the culture of the Faunus, the life she lived before becoming a war hero and so on. The poor girl was shaking with overwhelmingness but snapped out of it when Whitley explained something to her.
"This is the second time you saved me from the door of death, thank you, Lady Thyme."
Fiona was slightly confused before slowly piecing together that in the final battle she rushed to the location of downed aircraft, where a gravely injured woman layed under some debris being protected by her white haired son with a mere wooded stick he found on the ground screaming. "GET AWAY! YOU GRIMMS!" before being knocked backwards and then being held by his throat.
"HEY FANG FACES, I'M MORE OF A CHALLENGE THAN THOSE TWO!" The Fanaus screamed while the Grimm let the boy go to blocked her attack.
"KID! TAKE YOUR MOM AND GET OUTTA HERE, I CAN'T HOLD THIS GUY OFF FOREVER!"The boy nodded as he grabbed his mother and ran off, not knowing that he would plan to thank the maiden the next time they meet.
"No freaking way, you're that boy?"
"Yeah...but I'm not proud to admit that I'm not one for fighting." Whitley smiled as this surprised the girl.
To think, the meek boy she saved that one time and the guy who wanted to help others despite his family's reputation were the same person? How would this day become more of a weird fever dream?
"Hey you two, I hate to burst this bubble but ready for a fight, there was another vehicle besides ours that was on their way to the department." A male's voice explained when they noticed a man in a grey cloak sitting in the darkest corner of the vehicle.
"Before you asked, I've been here for the entire trip."
"Why is that important?" The only woman of the three thought while the Schnee youth figured it out.
"That ghoul of a Board Member?"
"'Faid so, he was taken in sometime before your speech and there are only two holding cells in the department, one for men and the other for women." The man explained.
"I could use my semblance to hold him in a..." Fiona was stopped when the mystery man continued.
"...And to prevent any escapes, the cells and those cuffs on your hands are laced with anti-semblance tech."
Fiona screamed. "OH CRAP!"
Whitley was shaken but kept cool as he thought. "I guess as this is a smaller scale city, I should've figured as much."
"Are you actually prepared to die for your ideas?" The man asked the boy, but his answer was simple.
"I'm not planning to back down now, to betray those words I spoke earlier, would be a wicked sin."
Meanwhile in an aircraft a little ways off. Both Weiss and Winter were dumbfounded by their brother's speech and actions. "He has changed so much since weeks ago." The middle child thought before Winter demanded the pilot to land that at the port nearest to the city.
Yang, Kairi, Jaune, Ruby, and Blake were on the aircraft but was confused by the sudden change of directions, before the commander explained. "The Board member that tried to killed our brother was sent to the holding cell in the department before Whitley's speech."
"OH CRAP!" Ruby and Weiss screamed as they thought in dismay that the boy was going to be in an one sided fight against a heavier opponent.
"Please hold on for a bit longer, Younger Brother..." Winter quietly whispered as the Aircraft was going as fast as possible to their destination.
Upon arriving and being settle in the two holding cells, it was when the guards left the redeemer was being used as a punching bag for the man's humiliation.
"DAMN BRATTY ASSED PUNK!"
"UGHHH!" Whitley groaned, being punched for a hour, his clothing became ragged and bloody.
"LEAVE WHITLEY ALONE!" Fiona cried out at the tallest in the men's holding cell, she was in the womens' holding cell that was across the room, luckly for her, she was alone in the women's side but not for Whitley, making things worse is that the guards were sent out on an emergency call, as their thinning numbers were sent out because of a few bomb threats elsewhere in the city.
"SHUT IT, SHEEPIE! I GOING KEEP BEATING THIS BRAT UNTIL HE UNDERSTANDS HIS PLACE IN THE UNIVERSE!"
"..." The man in the hood remained quiet as he watched this uneven fight. "You should stay down..."
"...As if I would..." The Schnee boy rose back to his feet through he knew nothing of throwing punches he refused to surrender just to spite the former Board Member of Phoenix Ash.
"HEH, for a skinny brat, you're stubborn, be a good little boy and admit that you're nothing but a puppet then I'll quit your rightly deserved beatings!"
Whitley regained his balance before flipping a bird claiming. "You...really...think this..puppet would let some smug ass with no respect for anyone but those in the Upper Class to order me around? SCREW....YOU!" The boy yelled spiting blood onto the man's ghoulish face to annoy the monster in human flesh.
"...WHY YOU LITTLE MAGGOT!" The man was even more enraged now, as he punched the stomach of the younger male causing the boy fall onto the cold floor.
Fiona was horrified as she witness the former spoiled prince rose back to his feet.
"Still standing boy?"
The youth was still standing to a point, until the man pulled a dirty shiv he found in the holding cell while waiting for this very moment. The two youths' eyes widden when they saw the makeshift weapon of sharpen hard plastic.
"...A weapon!?" Fiona cried out in dismay.
"Some poor sap must have made this sometime ago, makes me wonder where he could be now, anywho while I am slicing into your flesh, Whitley, I'm going tell what I thought of those pretty little ideas of yours."
The Faunus was in a state of fear for the young puppet CEO as the shiv user quickly sliced into the white haired youth's shoulder, with this the first time being cut, Whitley scream in pain.
"AHHHHGNN!"
"FIRST, YOU WANT TO FREE THE ANIMALS FROM OUR CAGES, THEY HAVE NO RIGHTS TO A FUTURE IN OUR SOCIETY!
The next was a stab on his left upper leg, luckly not hitting anything vitals as makeshift blade of sharp hard plastic was pulled out and blood dripped onto the flooring The boy's screams of pain echoing through the empty department.
"NEXT, WE CAN'T MAKE ANY LIEN IF BLEEDING HEARTS, LIKE WHAT YOU'VE BECOME, ARE IN CHARGE OF THINGS!"
The attacker then sliced the right side of Whitley's face leaving a scar under his eye.
"THE FACE OF THE BOY WITH A NAME THAT NOWS MEANS NOTHING TOTHE WORLD, USING TRUTHS TO PISS ON THE LEGACY THAT JACQUES BUILT, JUST SO HIS SON COULD REBUILD THE HONOR THAT IT HELD WHEN THAT WINDBAG WAS STILL KICKING! WHAT FREAKIN DRIVEL!"
then a slash across his chest.
"THAT BLEEDING HEART OF YOURS WANTING REDEMPTION SO HE COULD HAVE SOME ATTENTION BUT GUESS WHAT THERE'S NO SUCH THING IN THE BUSINESS WORLD OR IN THE REMAINING KINGDOMS OF REMNANT AS REDEMPTION!"
Then the right hand of the boy, the one Whitley pull in front of his body in an poor attempt to grabbed the makeshift Shiv.
"THESE HANDS OF A SOFT SPOILED LITTLE BOY WHO, EVEN IN THE LAST BATTLE AGAINST THE GRIMM FORCES, NEVER THREW A PUNCH OR SLAP ANYONE, ARE SUPPOSED TO CHANGE THE WORLD, ALL YOU HAVE DONE IN THAT BATTLE WERE ORDERING SOLDIERS TO FIGHT FOR YOU, SOLDIERS WHO SHOULD HAVE SEEN WHAT YOU'VE BECOME!"
Finishing this rant with a punch to the gut, and mocking his braverly. "TELL ME THIS, BOY? WHEN THIS SPINE OF YOURS GREW, DID YOUR STUPIDITY DOUBLED, BECAUSE COMPARED TO YOUR DAD, YOU'RE SUCH AN DOLT TO BELIEVE YOUR OWN CRAP!"
"WHITLEY! STOP, YOU'RE KILLING HIM!" Fiona screamed as the man got on top of the boy's body and punch the white haired youth's face twice before the monster yelled at the girl.
"I SAID SHUT IT SHEEP! YOU MAYBE A WAR HERO THAT I CAN'T PUT MY HANDS ON BUT YOU'RE GOING TO WATCH AS THE HOPES OF THIS BOY DIES ALONG WITH HIS BODY!"
Getting off of the beaten body of the Schnee, the man let Whitley try to get up before the boy fell on his stomach and the man grabbed the white hairs of his his head and pulled his face up, so the redeemer would look into Fiona's green eyes for a last time, one filled with tears.
"ACTUALLY, IT'S FUNNY, BECAUSE OF HER STATUS AS A WAR HERO, THE SHEEP WILL GET OUT IN THE END OF THE DAY AND BE ON HER WAY HOME, BUT YOU JUST HAD TO PLAY HERO AND FOR WHAT, WHITLEY SCHNEE?! FOR YOUR REMAINS TO BE MY PUNCHING BAG UNTIL I TRANSFER TO PRISON?....IT'S SO FREAKING SAD THAT I'M LAUGHING MY ASS OFF!"
The redeemer, who's face full of buises, forgotten that this is the case for minor first time offenders but didn't care at all. Ever since Fiona saved his and his mother's lives that day, he would've happily be arrested and be beaten, time after time, so he could thank her. He wanted to smile, to show his savior that he was happy with this outcome, even this meant that his life ended today, but could barely move his face but the only could wheezingly chuckled as tears as swell from his eyes
Before the man could finished Whitley off, a small blackout happened as the doors of the cells opened, Fiona ran to the boy who risked his life just so he could to talk to her. "WHY?!" Fiona cried she held the youth in her arms. "WHY CAN'T MONSTERS LIKE YOU SEE THAT THIS A NEW WORLD, THAT WE CAN BECOME BETTER THAN WE ONCE WERE." The green eyed girl demanded anwers but the man just mocked to anwered the Fuanus.
"Do you think animals like you could understand that only the strong and the Upper Cass are the only ones who have the right to control Remnant. He could have been one of those in control and still have enough Lien to be someone important but he chose to ally with the lower class, and for little lamb he paying for it, dearly."
Putting the boy's head gently on the floor wiping the tears on her sleeve, to hopefully keep friend she made safe for a bit longer, she attempted to use Pocket Demisions to rid the world of this demon, only to realize in the middle of her attack, the power returned and because she ran to help the youth, that she was in the men's holding cell with the real beast.
"....No!" She wimpered.
"Looks like there's some of my fellow board members of Phoenix Ash are still on my side." He smiled wickening as he began to explain their plans. "You see, little Sheep, we figured the boy has a bleeding heart, so to get rid of those childish wishes to loosen our hold, we decided yesterday to make up a plan, the one that you had to prevent. So during that little speech of his, we made a second one on the fly." He continued as he put his hand on an earpiece. "...That one being the threats to distract the guards and that little blackout. Plus thanks to this little device, my semblance to increase my strength with every attack I give, still remains."
"This can't be...." She was scared, as this man that she could taken down a few mere hours ago, was telling the truth when every step he made while approaching Fiona made small cracks in the flooring.
"Damn it, We going need to cause another..." A voice explained though the earpiece before he turned off the equipment's sound option.
"Now, since you annoyed me so much, you're going be my replacement, lamb chops!" The upsuper yelled in bliss as he pulled his fist to punch her small body. She dodged the attack but his second punch connected and sent her flying into the force field door.
"AUHHGGG!" She cried out, recoiling in the pain from her back before noticing the man was coming for her, managing to get up but unable to dodge it completely in this cramped arena. She felt the punch connected with her left arm, braking the bones in the limb, Then a kick to her gut. Knocking her a few inches near Whitley's body.
"....No...."
The youngest of the Schnee clan could only watch in despair through one eye, the two were being broken by a scummy excuse of a human, and the young redeemer of his name could do nothing but watched as his attempt to prove to the world his words were real go down in flames.
"...Leave...her...alone..." These words spit out ignoring the pain as much as he could while rising back to his feet and limping to get in between the Faunus woman and her attacker.
"So, the boy still has some fighting spirit...The boy that has never fought for anything in his life, I am certain that you're doing this for everyone's attention."
The man was right on a few things, Whitley was never a fighter or some ground troop, and it may have been that he wanted attention when he first started to go down this road but Winter quickly knocked that idea out of his head, but the man is wrong on others, for Whitley realize that all he wanted to do in life is to help in anyway, even he'll be happy as a sideliner act to the main heroes.
But one can't always stay in that role and hoped to change the world, for a long time he stood by as a witness to to his father's crimes, for longer his thoughts of heroism being dismissed by that bogus excuse of a father and as far as he remembered, Whitley had others fight for him. But no more!
"In this world, money and power pull the strings, and yet you choose death for a flithy animal? How more times are you going to PISS M-!" The man was interrupted while talking by, to the surprise of all, the white haired boy headbutting his taller foe, knocking the man onto his ass!
"...WHAT!?" The man screamed in horror as he started to bleed from his now broken nose, this was the first time the business man has ever seen his own blood.
"...I've...told...the world...I...would die for my dream....even if I die today....I'll be happy to die...hundred times over again..." The boy's body was mostly broken, each word he spoke caused more pain than his body could stand but the young man still had one part of his body to fight with, his hard head!
The next thing they all knew, Whitley continued headbutting his enemy, causing the man to gain a reality check, his ability were increasing his attacks but at a certain cost, The sole major weak point on his body, the one that held the brain to think of ways to screwed others over, the one with the eyes that saw everyone else as beneath him and the one with the mouth with a booming voice he used to make threats and promises to ruin his foes, his face weaken over time with every punch or kick he gave to the two.
"NONONONONO!" The man screamed with a bloodied and bruised face, before feeling the same despair he installed into his two victims just mere minutes ago. In a desperate attempt to stop these attacks, he grabbed the man in the cloak as a hostage, with the shiv he used on the boy still in his possession.
"You-ou wouldn't w-wan...me to stab some r-random person that had nuthing to do with this, uh?!" These ragged words were like the man himself, desperate and scummy, but was enough to stop the boy from getting closer.
The foe laughed thinking he has the upper hand. "I admired your old man's talent in making a profit, but he was just like you to a certain point, he was no killer, so now I advise we wait until they let us out or I'll be plunging..."
"Tsk...This old fart really been pissing me off since we got here!"
The cloaked man yelled as he stepped on the foot of his captor along with a gunshot ringing though the air. "W-WHAT!?" The man screamed in pain as he released his hold to grabbed his now bleeding foot. "DAMMIT, DAMMIT, DAMMIT!" The larger man screamed before realizing why his leg strength wasn't up to snuff. While being headbutted by his Whitley, the earpiece fell out and was behind his two victims!
"No way this is happening...." He groaned in pain before the cloaked male took off his hood, just to make things worse for the would be assassin.
"...and here I thought I would have a peaceful life in prison..." The man sighed as he revealed himself to be a fomer ally of Salem, one who wanted nothing more but to rot in prisons for the remaining of his life.
"M-Mercury B-B-Black, why is a war criminal here?!" The man screamed, fearing for his life even more than before.
"I was supposed to transfer into the next city, mostly for some good behavior BS..." Mercury turned his attention to the white haired boy.
"Hey kid, you're the brother to that girl Weiss, right?"
"....." Whitley wanted to say something but really couldn't, with those last few headbutts, if he tried to speak now, he will surely faint.
"Man, the geezer really did a number on you, huh?" Mercury asked before = one of the guards and Whitley's sisters ran in.
"Holy...CRAP! WHITLEY!!"
"Why is our brother and Miss Thyme in the same cell as these two?!" Winter demanded answers before Mercury explained for panicing guard while pulling the earpiece from the ground.
"Whitley was being used by lord lard ass as a punching bag until few people from Pheonix Ash caused a short blackout, the girl ran in to stopped the beatings but was attacked as well until your little bro figuring out the buzzard's weakness by headbutting the man in his freakin' face. After that, The creep tried to use me as levelage but yeah, you can see how that worked out."
"DAMNED BRATS...." The man groaned as the two Schnee women got Whitley and Fiona out of this cell but froze in fear when he saw Winter staring down at the man.
"I figured that your group would pulled something like this when Whitley told me of the CEO position, so I looked into yours and the rest of the board's backgrounds...It was just as Black said, You and your three friends in the board of eight have more than just attempted assassination to worry about now."
This decree was worrying enough before Mercury Black turned his attention back to the older man."I guess I'm going to have a kicking dummy for a roommate now!"
"Please have mercy!" The man turned deathly pale before Fiona yelled.
"Like the mercy you shown to me and Whitley because he called out your sorry butt, I would think not!"
Weiss was next to insult the man for his behavior. "...If anything you deserve nothing but a fate in a cage, like the various futures you took away!"
"Looks like you're going to rot in a cell for the rest of your sad existence." Winter finished before the guards were told by the military commander to take her younger brother out of the room and to take his would be assassin to the other cell.
Before leaving, Winter asked the former ally of Salem.
"Mercury Black...Your sentence for your war crimes have been over with for a couple of months now, yet, you still choose to remain in prison, may I ask why?"
"Since Cinder died in the fight against our former partner and Salem's redemption attempt, I really don't have much else left. Besides it's like I've said during that battle with the hammerhead and her pretty boy lover, I have been forced to fight since I was born by a drunk abusive excuse of a dad, so even if I could be let back into society, I don't think I could be happy."
"You could've joined the military..." The eldest member of the Schnee replied before the younger male countered
"Yeah, but I hate following and giving orders, besides you've seen what this old bastard done to your brother, creeps like him and worse are everywhere in prison. So as long as I can beat them senseless, I'm freaking happy to serve more time for each brawl I get my ass into."
This silenced Winter for a couple of seconds before asking for two simple demands. "Just tell Em that I'm okay with how things ended between us, and tell her just to be happy with her new life, if she can do that, then that would give me some sort of peace."
A couple of hours later at the medical bay on the airship.
Kairi used the healing spell Curaga on both the boy and Fiona. "Thank you, Lady Kairi." Fiona bowed while still having her arm in a cast after Whitley opened his eyes, being healed.
"Hey, it's not a problem, but please, just call me Kairi for now on, okay, Fiona?"
"Ughh, what...Fiona..are you alright?" The redeemer asked his friend.
"Yes, but you took the blunt of the beating, please relax, Whitley." The Fanuas explained before the boy asked.
"Who payed for our bails? I doubt it was my sisters, our situation isn't as it once was."
At that moment, Weiss and Blake came in, the disowned heiress of the destroyed SDC was proud at the fact that her former enemy of a brother fought for what's right, explaining. "It those three you poined out from that charity that payed for your and Fiona's bonds."
"Huh?!" Fiona was taken back in surprise by this before the middle child of the Schnee family theorized
"My guess is, either your speech or being outed as horrible people that made those three pay with their own Lien to post bond. I only wished we got there quicker but the airport was on the other side of the city."
"That's good but I can only hope that the others in the crowd took my words to heart and none of the people recording that day alter the video."
...We can check for video or audio interferances later on today but something tells me those who heard your speech that they're going be thinking about it for a long time." Blake's words made the youngest member of the Schnee children a little more eased.
"If only mother lived to see her son became someone to be proud of." Weiss thought to herself that day before their last mission in Remnant before her universe was wiped from existence.
In the Hangar of the doomed Wunder, Weiss had a thought of what could've been the futures of the new CEO of Pheonix Ash and his loyal bodyguard could have been if their universe just lasted a little bit longer.
"Hey, Bozos I'm about to take the Eva-unit 02 F off of the ship, before figuring out a plan to stop Misato."
"Alright.." Aqua answered as the red-head walked towards the console before seeing something strange.
"You guys were here for the last hour right?"
"Yeah?" Duo answered before Asuka added.
"And no one else came in or tried anything funny right?"
"We've been here the entire time, what's with the questions, Langley?" Viral countered.
"...There's two signals of heat in the cockpit...."
"Umm what?" Jaune exclaimed as the console showing the statistics of the bulky armored version of Unit 02, showing two bodies of heat in the entry plug.
Before anything else was said in the group. A young male's voice came through the console. "Umm Hello? Can someone get us out of this thing?"
No one but the Schnee huntress recognize the youth's voice. "Whitley!?"
"Sis, can you hear me?"
Asuka spoke next, "How long were you two in the Evangelion for?"
"I think for three hours, oh right, Fi wanted to asked if there's any males in the area."
"Fiona's in there too?!" Wiess inner thoughts were of panic that were made worse after Jaune's answer.
"Yeah, there's four guys here, why?" Jaunne asked before Fiona screamed in embrassament.
"PLEASE GO TO THE OTHER ROOM OR SOMETHING, I CAN'T GO OUT LIKE THIS!"
"Fi, please relax..."
"RELAX!? YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE IN THIS THING WITH CLOTHES ON!" The girl whined while crying from embarrassment.
"Umm, could anyone bring clothing for Miss Thyme."
Duo began to smirked before being dragged by Viral into the next room. "Keep your dirty thoughts to yourself, Duo Maxwell..."
"Killjoy!" Duo screamed as Jonathan conviced Jaune to followed.
"Sir Arc, we should leave as well, as it is knights' honor to..."
"Already way ahead of you, Mr. Joestar. We'll see you all later when we come up with that plan!"
As this was all happening, an snore echoed out from behind the crates. "Is someone sleeping over there?" Aqua asked while checking to see who it might be.
There, Chibodee Crocket, of all people was in deep slumber, much to everyone's surprise.
"...We should wake him up..." Asuka sighed while Weiss went looking for any of the female members of the crew for some clothing.
But to the surprise of the two, he just walked into the next room while sleeping the entire time. "That...worked out way to well..."

be me; ex LizarDM
be also me; Adonis Valintellis (Tiefling Paladin), Thalia Milakos (Human Ranger) and Zaahir Kehmet (Earth Genasi Wizard)
the soldier stifled a yawn as he patrolled the sandy beaches of Kalikos
clouds hid the island from the moon’s spectral glow, casting the land into darkness and turning the often silver seas black as coal
his shift had been a long one and just as boring as expected
where once his mind had been sharp and alert, it now lingered on thoughts of a cold drink and a warm bed
his eyes scanned the shore superficially, passing over the same stones and grassy knolls he’d seen a hundred times before
on any other night, he may have noticed the discrepancies in the shoreline
the new rock that appeared almost boat-like on second glance
but alas, his mind was a thousand miles away, and the javelin hit him without warning
the soldier collapsed to his knees, gasping for air like a fish on land
his armour had spared him from the worst of the damage, but the javelin had done its job
stunned and winded, he was rendered defenceless against the four figures that emerged from the darkness
a thought crossed his mind to sound the alarm; but his limbs refused to move and his lungs pleaded for breath
one member of the pack split from the rest. A stout dwarf with a full beard and a grim expression
they approached the helpless man, drawing a sharply curved short sword from their belt
the soldier tried to move
tried to yell
but the dwarf closed the distance between them and cut his throat, putting a violent end to his struggles
wiping the blood clean from his weapon, Oryk hauled the body behind cover before jogging to catch up with his companions
the Order of the Twins moved like shadows in the night. Their passage muffled by the spells woven about their feet
that said, their infiltration still proved easier than expected
skirting the edges of the island, the party avoided common paths and watchful eyes; slipping between gaps in the meagre defences they encountered
their route took them just below the peak of the island; where a lavish home stared out across the ocean
in the distance, tiny twinkling lights just barely outlined the Athosi mainland
the house itself was lit up like a beacon in the night, and roaming globules of fire identified the few guards on rotation. Six or seven at most
less than a third of what they had anticipated
counting their blessings, the small band of adventurers navigated the narrow pathways around the house and approached the island’s southern side, where a lonely dirt road wound its way towards a grove of trees
they moved swiftly and silently through the long grass that grew on either side, but they needn’t have bothered
the road was unguarded, and the entrance to the grove lay bare
“this is too easy,” Cyrene whispered; fidgeting nervously with an iron band around her wrist. “Where are the rest of the guards?”
she, like the rest of her companions, had a dishevelled look to her appearance
a thinness to her features that implied more than a couple missed meals
Oryk shot her a stern look, and the half orc immediately shut her mouth
turning his gaze to the two half elves to his rear, he was answered with obedient silence
Maia had always been thin, but now she was practically gaunt
her eyes carried a weight, and an ugly scar split her lip on the left side
Iris, her sister, had once identified herself with long curly hair
now, it was cut short, and crudely so. As if done with an altogether uncaring hand
both twins wore the same iron band as Cyrene around their left wrist
a thin piece of metal that coiled around their limb like a snake
with a commanding wave of his hand, Oryk led the party through the grove’s northern entrance and into the trees beyond
moving like ghosts between the thin trunks and shallow underbrush, the group made good progress before they heard the sudden snap of a twig in the darkness
Oryk raised a fist and the advance came to an abrupt stop, scanning their surroundings with tense expressions
a series of soft whispers drifted between the trees, accompanied by the rustling of leaves and groaning of branches
the dwarven fighter drew his sica and his companions complied, unsheathing their weapons in response
they began to spot lithe, feminine figures peering out at them from behind the trees. Staring at the strangers with bright, emerald eyes
the women had skin like mottled bark, and hair that plumed about them like foliage
“dryads,” Cyrene declared, lowering her rhomphaia with the faintest hint of relief
Iris and Maia exchanged a look before lowering their own weapons, albeit keeping them close at hand
Oryk, however, raised his short sword threateningly, and pointed it at the nearest nature spirit
“get back in your trees and stay there. Interfere, and we will not hesitate to kill you”
the dryad in question retreated, but the others stood their ground as a frantic whispering filled the trees around them
something dangerous glimmered in Oryk’s eyes, and his fingers tightened around the hilt of his sica
“NOW!” he suddenly bellowed, his voice deep and commanding
the drayds scattered into the trees, leaving a myriad of foul curses and even fouler odours in their wake
Oryk gave a satisfied grunt and turned to leave, only to nearly walk into the dryad that now stood in his way
a spirit with speckled, ashy skin and a stern, stubborn expression
Oryk approached them with his weapon raised
“get out of my way,” he growled. “I won’t ask a third time”
the dryad stared down at him like a disapproving adult would a petulant child, and when it spoke, it did so with a voice like wind through a canopy
“if you were wise, you would return to your masters. You will not find what you seek here”
its eyes lifted to the party, as if directing its words to them
with a snarl, Oryk swiped at the dryad, only to be met by a cloud of pollen and stinging nettles
cursing aloud between bouts of frantic coughing, the dwarf fled the swarm and started rubbing his eyes, which had already begun streaming with tears
muttering under her breath, Cyrene approached his side and laid a hand on his shoulder
“come now, let me see”
lowering his hands to his side, Oryk turned to face her with a grimace, his eyes puffy and red
“Archons above, Oryk,” Cyrene cursed. “You should know better than to taunt a dryad”
as the words left her mouth, the band on her wrist suddenly tightened and the half orc gave a small yelp of pain
glaring at her through bloodshot eyes, Oryk gave the cleric a venomous look
“and you should know better than to speak out of line”
Cyrene’s hands fumbled at the metal around her wrist, refusing to meet the dwarf’s cruel gaze
the cuff continued to coil and squeeze; writhing like a living being as Cyrene frantically whispered a foreign chant beneath her breath
the words seemed to appease the magic item, and it loosened its grip in response
witnessing this cruel display of discipline, the twins began unconsciously massaging the band around their own wrists; as if reminiscing on a similar experience
shaking the pain from her arm, Cyrene set to work curing Oryk’s ailment, uttering a slew of healing spells
with his eyesight restored, Oryk sheathed his weapon and pushed past Cyrene, wandering into the trees
with little other choice other than to follow, the group set off after him
the party walked for some time before a sound other than buzzing insects and murmured curses reached their ears
a low, rumbling that echoed through the trees. Like a dull droning that came in ebbs and flows
once more the group came to a stop, and before Oryk could even turn to look towards the twins, they had already begun to move
creeping forward with the lightest of footsteps, Maia and Iris stealthily approached the sound, deftly avoiding any stray branches or betraying stones
the droning grew louder and louder, until the pair had stopped just shy of its source
peering around a trunk with sharp blue eyes, Maia scanned what lay ahead
the trees parted around an ancient oak, its roots deep and its branches tall
a hollow sat about half way up the trunk. A small opening just wide enough to put a hand or two inside
but the tree was not so interesting as what lay beneath
coiled around the trunk was a creature with a long, serpentine body
its scales, green and flecked with brown, were hard and interlocked like shields in a phalanx
its head, immense and filled with razor sharp teeth, lay curled just below the hollow of the tree
the low rumbling emanated from the monster’s chest, as it uttered a long, prolonged snore
Maia’s jaw tightened and her eyes flitted over to her sister
Iris’ face had gone pale, and her hand had instinctively dropped to grab at the empty sheath on her belt
a prize taken by their employer
the twins locked eyes, and shared a moment of profound fear
wetting her suddenly very dry lips, Maia gestured back towards the trees and Iris nodded in silent agreement
the two stealthily retreated, keeping their footsteps light all the way back to their comrades
Oryk almost jumped when the twins materialised beside him, emerging from the darkness without warning
“well?” he hissed, his voice rising above the droning snores. “What did you find?”
Iris frantically gestured for the dwarf to quiet down, as Maia shot a terrified glance back in the direction of the oak tree
only when they heard the low droning of the monster’s snores did the pair relax enough to answer
“dragon”
the word held in the air like a curse
Cyrene’s eyes widened, and had it not been for the band on her wrist, she most certainly would have uttered a prayer
even Oryk’s permanently affixed scowl faded as the blood drained from his face
when he finally spoke, he did so with no semblance of his usual condescension
“...how big?”
“8 meters,” Iris answered. “No more than 12”
Oryk nodded, his brow knitting together as he dropped into a crouch
“a juvenile,” he thought aloud. “Hasn’t reached full adulthood. Scorch marks?”
“none that we could see”
“good. Then either it’s too young to breathe fire, or it spits poison”
his eyes narrowed to points as he mulled things over in his head
the group kept quiet, forced to listen to the distant, droning snores as their leader considered their options
after a long stretch of time, Oryk took a sharp inhale and straightened his posture
“it’s asleep?”
his eyes shifted to Maia, and the half elf tensed
“we think so but…”
“we don’t know for certain,” Iris quickly interrupted. “We’ve never encountered a dragon before. We should call off the mission and come back more prepared”
a deadly silence fell over the group as the dwarf went still
“call off the mission?” he repeated
his voice was calm, but the words held a distinct edge to them
like the blade of a meticulously sharpened knife
“and since when did you make the calls in this party?”
Maia shot her sister a look, and Iris lowered her eyes
“never,” she answered
“that’s right. Never,” Oryk reiterated, holding the half elf in his steely gaze. “We do things my way, as we always have”
Iris’ clamped her mouth shut and the dwarvish fighter turned to look at his other companions
“unless you have all forgotten what awaits us if we fail? What will happen if we come back empty handed?”
he was met with silence and a slow shake of Cyrene’s head
“failure isn’t an option,” he continued. “If the drakon is asleep, we need to act now”
his gaze shifted to Maia
“so can you do what I need you to?”
the half elf swallowed and tried to slow her racing heartbeat
“I think so,” she meekly answered
“good. The rest of us will wait in position. We’ll flank the tree from three sides and-”
“-I’ll do it,” Iris suddenly interjected
Oryk’s teeth flashed in a grimace before he turned to face her
“I’ll retrieve the objective,” Iris clarified, meeting the dwarf’s gaze
“Maia is quieter,” Oryk bluntly retorted. “She stands a better chance of getting to the tree than you do”
“but with my magic-”
“-your magic that we need for the escape,” he interrupted. “We have a plan, stick to it”
he turned back to the front and began drawing out a rough plan in the dirt with his sica
“-while Maia sneaks in, we hold here to provide support. Once we have what we came for, we leave back through the northern exit”
Iris’ eye twitched, and Maia reached out to drop a hand on her sister’s arm
“Iris-” she quietly started
but her warning went unheeded, and Iris spoke up again
“what’s the point of saving my magic if we don’t get what we came for?” she argued
Oryk spun with a stormy expression, pointing his blade to her chest
“because I said so!” he snapped. “And you will do what you’re told!”
he may have stood half a head shorter than Iris, but in that moment, Oryk felt like a giant, and in the silence of the trees, his voice sounded like a clap of thunder
Iris’ face paled and Oryk realised what he had done
instinctively, the party held their breath; anticipating a monstrous roar, or the crash of falling trees
but after a few tense seconds, all they heard was the rhythmic rumbling of distant snores
the group letting out a collective sigh of relief that cut through the tension like a knife
tension that returned the moment Oryk opened his mouth
“do you want to be sent across the Chronaean?” he hissed. “Do you want to leave your sister alone?”
Iris’ eyes shifted to Cyrene, searching for some glimmer of support
instead, the half orc looked away, leaving the half elf to face their leader alone
“of course I don’t,” Iris mumbled
“exactly,” Oryk spat. “Stay in line, do what you’re told, and keep your mouth shut”
he turned to Maia with an expression that encouraged absolute obedience
“get the objective, and get out. Nod if you understand”
Maia gave a slight jerk of her head
“good. Now get moving”
the dwarf stormed off into the trees, and Cyrene quickly shot up to follow him
Maia and Iris exchanged a look of resignation before joining their trusted comrades

Maia stood in position by the edge of the clearing, mentally projecting her path to and from the hollow
it was a simple job, really
dart across the open ground
jump up to the low branch on the left side
climb over to the main trunk
grab the objective
and do it all again
simple
if it weren’t for the dragon in the way
Maia's heart began to pound in her chest until she felt a hand fall gently across her arm
she turned, meeting Iris' concerned gaze
“you don’t have to do this,” her sister whispered; practically breathing the words into Maia’s ear
“yes I do,” Maia answered, keeping her voice just as quiet. “You heard Oryk. We can’t go back empty handed”
“f*ck Oryk,” Iris cursed. “We’re only here because of him”
in spite of herself, a grim smile lifted the corner of Maia’s lips
it was a rare thing to hear Iris curse
“we could run, you know. Make a break for the mainland”
Maia’s smile dropped in an instant
“Iris, no”
“why not?” Iris replied earnestly. “We can make it. I know we can”
“they’ll catch us. And even if they don’t, what then? We’ve got nowhere to hide. No friends to help us. We’d be on our own”
“we’ve been alone before. We survived, didn’t we?”
Iris’ words were hopeful, but they couldn’t hide the desperation beneath
when Maia didn’t seem convinced, Iris took her sister’s face into her hands
“please don’t do this. I can’t lose you”
Maia’s eyes softened, and she placed her hands atop Iris’
“that’s why I have to do this”
she took a deep breath and tried to put on a half convincing smile
“you don’t have to worry about me. I’ve got this. I promise”
Iris’ thumb traced the scar across her sister’s lip
“I’m older. It’s my job to worry about you”
a frown fell across Maia’s face
“older by 10 minutes”
“and I’ll never let you forget it”
Iris pulled her sister into a tight hug
“don’t you dare get yourself caught”
“when have I ever?”
the two reluctantly parted, and Iris held her sister at an arm’s length
“remember. Once you have it-”
“-run like the Hounds of Chaon are after me”
a smile touched Iris’ lips, and the shadows rose up to swallow her
when they parted, the monk was gone
inhaling a slow, shaky breath, Maia composed herself, and refocused on the tree
30ft to the centre
branch on the left side
over the dragon
down to the hollow
reverse and get out
she exhaled slowly, letting the shake fade from her breath
she had this
Maia broke from the tree line, moving in a swift but stealthy manner
every step carefully laid. Every movement intentional
the dragon’s snores rumbled like thunder, growing louder with each step
before she knew it, she was beneath the low branch
taking a quick stutter step to gain momentum, she threw herself upwards, catching the branch with both hands
thankfully, the branch held firm, and Maia swung her legs up and around it
shimmying along inch by inch, she drew closer to the trunk itself, inadvertently holding her breath as she passed over the sleeping body of the dragon
its breath reeked up close. Like spoiled fruit and vinegar
it took all her strength not to gag
before she knew it, she was at the trunk of the tree and at the next step of her plan
hoisting herself up to a crouched position, she flattened her body against the side of the trunk and began sliding her foot along its length
eventually, she found a suitable foothold and began clambering across to a more central position
the hollow was just beneath her now
and beneath that, the massive head of the dragon
this close, she realised just how easily such a creature could snap her up
with her small frame, she’d be gone in one or two bites
pushing such morbid thoughts out of her mind, she leaned down until her head and arm were low enough to reach inside the hollow
her lungs were beginning to burn from holding her breath for so long, but she dared not exhale
she wasn't sure how good a dragon's senses were, but she wasn't keen to find out either
reaching her arm into the hollow, her fingers touched loose leaves and knotted wood
she pushed a little deeper, searching for any sign of her prize
something cold
something metal
but instead, she felt the hard back of the hollow
frowning, she pressed again, but still felt only the rear of the hollow
had she somehow missed it?
her fingers scrambled around, but continued to feel only wood and leaves
her lungs were really burning now, and she could feel her face flushing with colour from being upside down
regardless, she removed her arm and leaned her head down further, trying to peer inside
in the black gloom of a moonless night, a human wouldn’t have been able to see a thing
but even with her enhanced elvish sight, Maia was granted only the slightest advantage
just enough to make out the shape of the interior and the contents within
dried leaves
knotted wood
a couple insect husks
and nothing else
sure she had somehow made a mistake, she looked again and again
but with each scan, the truth became undeniable
“you will not find what you seek, here”
the dryad’s words echoed in Maia’s head, and with a cold sense of dread, she realised that the spirit hadn’t been speaking rhetorically
the amulet wasn’t here
and with that realisation, Maia’s lungs could hold on no longer
her breath escaped all at once, her awkward position driving the air out in an undignified huff
she clamped a hand over her mouth, but the damage had been done
she had made a sound, however small, and already her breath was mixing with the cool air
time slowed to a crawl as the dragon’s snores came to a stop
she watched in terror as its head, mere inches below her, began to stir
its nostrils flared; drawing breath with a deep, rasping inhale, and its eyes rolled in their sockets
the dragon’s jaws cracked open, revealing a black, forked tongue and rows of fetid teeth
rancid breath assaulted Maia’s senses, making her stomach turn and her head spin
she waited for the creature to open its eyes
to see the tiny morsel dangling helplessly above it
but they never did
to her greatest relief, the dragon remained asleep and blissfully unaware of her presence
relief swiftly turned to dismay, however, as the dragon proceeded to shift; its scales rippling like water across its long, serpentine body
the tree shook violently as the monster scraped against its surface, shearing away bark and causing branches to groan and sway
wrapping her arms around whatever she could find, Maia clung desperately as the shaking threatened to throw her loose
after what felt like an eternity, the vibrations mercifully ended, and the dragon returned to its snoring
but even after the tree had long fallen still, Maia found herself unable move; as if every single muscle in her body had frozen solid
in a moment of clarity, she realised that her hand had found her dagger in the chaos, and that the weapon was now clutched in an iron grip at her side
she almost laughed at the absurdity of the situation
as if a dagger would keep her safe if the dragon had actually awoken
nonetheless, she kept it in her hand, unwilling to relinquish the one defence she had
lifting her gaze to scan the surrounding treeline, she spotted the pale faces of her companions waiting in position. Intently following her progress with their eyes
Iris looked just as high sprung as she was. All but ready to throw herself into the open in order to save her sister
Maia silently prayed that her twin could keep her composure for just a little longer
wetting her incredibly dry lips, the rogue began scaling the tree; taking care to avoid any of the small twigs and leaves that had been shaken loose by the dragon’s shifting
upon reaching her chosen branch she paused, taking a moment to slow her racing heart beat
in spite of everything telling her otherwise, she needed to calm down
stress would lead to mistakes
and mistakes would lead to her death
feeling her muscles relax ever so slightly, Maia continued, stretching her body out to reach the low branch
her feet found purchase, and the rogue began creeping along its length
a few more steps and she’d be home free
“Maia!”
a single word
muffled and distorted, and yet agonisingly loud
Maia’s eyes dropped to the bronze surface of her dagger and saw a young woman’s face staring back at her, their eyes grey and piercing
there was a flash of familiarity in the half elf’s mind, but in that moment, she could barely recall her own name
a million thoughts raced through her mind as her heart pounded like a drum in her ears
one thought, however, screamed louder than the rest
run
Maia’s feet moved before the thought had even finished forming, propelling her from the branch a split second before it detonated into an explosion of jagged splinters
she hit the ground hard, feeling something give in her shoulder
she didn’t have time to dwell on it, as an earth shattering roar tore the world asunder
her feet were under her in an instant, and she broke into a sprint, not daring to look behind her
she knew that if she turned, all she would see is a flash of green scales and a mouth full of fangs closing in to end her life
the air began to reek of rotten fruit and then a body collided with her, throwing her aside
a cloud of noxious fumes ripped through the space she had just occupied, causing grass to shrivel and trees to wither
she felt hands on her arms and shoulders, and then Iris was yelling at her, hauling her to her feet amidst pained racking coughs
they didn’t have time to stop, barrelling through the trees in a mad dash to get away
as furious roars filled the air behind them, Iris stumbled through the underbrush, her legs unsteady beneath her
Maia looped an arm under her shoulder, and now the twins were supporting each other in a tangle of limbs
minutes passed. Or maybe just seconds. And then the two broke from the tree line onto an open road
sea winds rushed up to meet them, and Iris' legs fully gave out as she began greedily sucking in gasps of fresh air
“come on!” Maia urged, trying to drag her sister to her feet
but Iris was of no use now, her eyes bulging and her face flushed with colour
something ripped its way out of the underbrush and Maia turned sharply, instinctively raising the dagger that was still clutched in a death grip
instead of the dragon she was expecting, she found Cyrene and her rhomphaia, halfway through a cut that would have cleaved her in two
recognising each other at the same time, the pair lowered their weapons and turned to the wheezing half elf at their feet
concern flashing across her face, Cyrene dropped to her knees in preparation to cast a spell
before she could begin, however, Oryk emerged from the grove, blood splattered across his hands
“we don’t have time for that. Get her up!”
he raced past them, leading the charge back towards the beach
with a grunt of exertion, Cyrene lifted Iris into her arms like a baby, shoving her rhomphaia into Maia's hands
keeping a wary eye on her sister, Maia followed the half orc as she began jogging after their leader
as they ran, Oryk settled into pace beside Maia, shooting her a questioning look between grunts of breath
“do you have it?”
the half elf's shoulders fell, and she quietly shook her head
“it wasn’t there”
Oryk’s face turned a dark shade of red, and a vein bulged in his head
“what do you mean it wasn’t there?!”
“the amulet is gone. We missed it”
a stream of vile curses flowed from Oryk’s lips, and Maia wisely chose to keep her eyes forward and mouth shut
they reached the beach in record time, and Cyrene carefully laid Iris down into their waiting boat
as Oryk and Maia began pushing the vessel into the rolling surf, the dwarf gave her a hateful glare
“hells spare you when they find out we failed”
“we...haven’t...failed...yet”
Oryk turned his ire on Iris, who lay curled across the edge of the boat trying her best to suck in what air she could
“we...know...where...its...going,” she continued between strained, wheezing breaths. “We...still...have...time...”
leaping into the boat with a splash of water, Oryk waited just long enough for his companions to get in before heaving away with the oars
“we’d better. For all our sakes”
he sliced through the water with powerful strokes, driving them into deeper and darker waters
Maia slunk down beside Iris, taking her sister’s hand into her own
Iris dropped her head onto Maia’s shoulder, and the twins watched as the shores of Kalikos drifted further and further away

Worauf muss ich achten, wenn ich mir einen Luftentfeuchter zu legen will? Eine Frage, die du dir zu Beginn stellen solltest.
Denn bei unsachgem\u00e4\u00dfem Einsatz k\u00f6nnen krankmachende Keime an die Luft abgegeben oder bei zu viel Feuchtigkeit das Wachstum von Schimmel und Milben im Raum gef\u00f6rdert werden
Einen Testbericht und den Link zu den Luftbefeuchtern findest du am Ende des Beitrages.
Legen wir los!
Was ist ein Luftbefeuchter?
Ein Luftbefeuchter ist ein n\u00fctzliches Ger\u00e4t, das die Luftfeuchtigkeit in einem Raum erh\u00f6ht.
Warum ist das wichtig?
In vielen Geb\u00e4uden, besonders im Winter, wird die Luft durch Heizsysteme trocken. Trockene Luft kann zu verschiedenen Problemen f\u00fchren.
Dazu geh\u00f6ren trockene Haut, Reizungen der Atemwege und ein erh\u00f6htes Risiko f\u00fcr Erk\u00e4ltungen und Grippe. Auch f\u00fcr Haustiere, Pflanzen und M\u00f6bel kann trockene Luft sch\u00e4dlich sein.
Wie funktioniert ein Luftbefeuchter?
Er verwandelt Wasser in Dampf oder feinen Nebel. Dieser wird dann in die Raumluft abgegeben, um die Feuchtigkeit zu erh\u00f6hen.
Es gibt verschiedene Arten von Luftbefeuchtern.
Dazu z\u00e4hlen Ultraschall-Luftbefeuchter, Verdunster und Verdampfer. Jeder Typ hat seine eigenen Vor- und Nachteile, je nach den Bed\u00fcrfnissen des Nutzers.
Kurz gesagt, ein Luftbefeuchter sorgt f\u00fcr eine angenehmere und ges\u00fcndere Raumluft. Das ist besonders wichtig in trockenen Klimazonen oder w\u00e4hrend der Heizperiode im Winter.
Wie funktioniert ein Luftbefeuchter? Ein Luftbefeuchter verbessert die Luftqualit\u00e4t, indem er die Luftfeuchtigkeit in einem Raum erh\u00f6ht.
Aber wie macht er das? Es gibt verschiedene Arten von Luftbefeuchtern, und jeder funktioniert etwas anders.
Ultraschall-Luftbefeuchter: Diese verwenden Ultraschallschwingungen, um Wasser in einen feinen Nebel zu verwandeln. Dieser Nebel wird dann in die Luft abgegeben. Sie sind leise und sehr effektiv, was sie zu einer beliebten Wahl macht.
Verdunstungsbefeuchter: Hier wird Luft durch einen feuchten Filter oder eine feuchte Matte gezogen. W\u00e4hrend die Luft durch den Filter str\u00f6mt, nimmt sie Feuchtigkeit auf und f\u00fchrt sie zur\u00fcck in den Raum. Diese Art von Luftbefeuchter reguliert sich selbst, da die Luftfeuchtigkeit im Raum steigt und die Verdunstung abnimmt.
Dampfverdampfer: Sie erhitzen Wasser, um Dampf zu erzeugen, der dann abgek\u00fchlt und in die Raumluft abgegeben wird. Diese Befeuchter k\u00f6nnen auch mit Medikamenten verwendet werden, um die Luft bei Erk\u00e4ltungen zu beruhigen.
Jeder Luftbefeuchter-Typ hat seine eigenen Vorteile und passt zu unterschiedlichen Bed\u00fcrfnissen und Umgebungen. Wichtig ist, dass alle darauf abzielen, die Luftfeuchtigkeit zu erh\u00f6hen und so ein ges\u00fcnderes Raumklima zu schaffen.
Worauf muss ich achten, beim Kauf eines Luftbefeuchters? Beim Kauf eines Luftbefeuchters gibt es einige wichtige Punkte zu beachten.
Diese sorgen daf\u00fcr, dass du das beste Ger\u00e4t f\u00fcr deine Bed\u00fcrfnisse findest.
Vermeidung von \u00dcberbefeuchtung: Ein guter Luftbefeuchter sollte die Luftfeuchtigkeit auf einem gesunden Niveau halten, ohne zu \u00fcberbefeuchten. Zu viel Feuchtigkeit kann Schimmelbildung und andere Probleme verursachen. Manche Ger\u00e4te haben eingebaute Hygrostaten, die dabei helfen, die Feuchtigkeit zu regulieren.
Raumgr\u00f6\u00dfe ber\u00fccksichtigen: Nicht jeder Luftbefeuchter ist f\u00fcr jeden Raum geeignet. \u00dcberpr\u00fcfe die angegebene Raumgr\u00f6\u00dfe des Ger\u00e4ts und vergleiche sie mit deinem Raum. Ein zu kleines Ger\u00e4t wird nicht effektiv sein, w\u00e4hrend ein zu gro\u00dfes unn\u00f6tig Energie verbraucht.
Gr\u00f6\u00dfe des Wassertanks: Ein gr\u00f6\u00dferer Wassertank bedeutet, dass du ihn seltener nachf\u00fcllen musst. Dies ist besonders praktisch in gr\u00f6\u00dferen R\u00e4umen oder wenn das Ger\u00e4t kontinuierlich l\u00e4uft.
Leistung \u2014 Wasseraussto\u00df pro Stunde: Die Leistung gibt an, wie viel Feuchtigkeit das Ger\u00e4t pro Stunde in die Luft abgibt. Eine h\u00f6here Leistung ist in der Regel besser f\u00fcr gr\u00f6\u00dfere R\u00e4ume oder trockenere Umgebungen.
Passendes Zubeh\u00f6r: \u00dcberlege, ob du zus\u00e4tzliches Zubeh\u00f6r wie Filter, Mineral-Pads oder Reinigungsmittel ben\u00f6tigst. Dies h\u00e4ngt von der Art des Luftbefeuchters ab und wie du ihn nutzen m\u00f6chtest.
Indem du diese Faktoren ber\u00fccksichtigst, kannst du sicherstellen, dass du einen Luftbefeuchter findest, der deinen Bed\u00fcrfnissen entspricht und zur Verbesserung der Luftqualit\u00e4t in deinem Zuhause oder B\u00fcro beitr\u00e4gt.
Wie sinnvoll ist ein Luftbefeuchter? Die Frage nach der Sinnhaftigkeit eines Luftbefeuchters l\u00e4sst sich leicht beantworten: Sehr sinnvoll!
Besonders in der Heizperiode sinkt die relative Luftfeuchtigkeit in Innenr\u00e4umen oft deutlich. Dies hat verschiedene negative Auswirkungen auf unsere Gesundheit und Wohlbefinden.
Verbesserung der Luftqualit\u00e4t: Trockene Luft kann zu Reizungen der Haut und der Schleimh\u00e4ute f\u00fchren. Ein Luftbefeuchter hilft, die Luftfeuchtigkeit zu erh\u00f6hen und diese Beschwerden zu lindern.
Vorbeugung von Erk\u00e4ltungen und Atemwegserkrankungen: Trockene Luft erleichtert die Ausbreitung von Viren und kann das Risiko von Erk\u00e4ltungen und Atemwegserkrankungen erh\u00f6hen. Ein angemessenes Luftfeuchtigkeitsniveau hingegen kann dieses Risiko verringern.
Reduzierung von Kopfschmerzen: Zu trockene Luft kann auch Kopfschmerzen verursachen. Durch die Aufrechterhaltung einer angemessenen Luftfeuchtigkeit kann ein Luftbefeuchter dazu beitragen, Kopfschmerzen zu vermeiden.
Kurz gesagt, ein Luftbefeuchter ist nicht nur ein n\u00fctzliches Ger\u00e4t, um die Luftqualit\u00e4t in Innenr\u00e4umen zu verbessern, sondern spielt auch eine wichtige Rolle f\u00fcr die Gesundheit und das Wohlbefinden.
Er ist eine lohnende Investition, besonders in den kalten Monaten, wenn die Heizungen laufen und die Luft trocken wird.
Wie merkt man, ob die Luft zu trocken ist? Es gibt verschiedene Anzeichen, die darauf hindeuten, dass die Luft in deinem Zuhause oder B\u00fcro zu trocken ist.
Trockene Luft kann zahlreiche unangenehme Symptome verursachen, die sowohl dein Wohlbefinden als auch deine Gesundheit beeintr\u00e4chtigen k\u00f6nnen:
Trockene, juckende Haut: Ein klares Zeichen von zu trockener Luft ist, wenn deine Haut gespannt, trocken und juckend ist.
Spr\u00f6de Lippen: Trockene Luft entzieht den Lippen Feuchtigkeit, was sie rissig und spr\u00f6de macht.
Trockene Haare: Auch deine Haare k\u00f6nnen unter der trockenen Luft leiden und trocken und spr\u00f6de werden.
Atemwegserkrankungen: Trockene Luft kann bestehende Atemwegsprobleme verschlimmern oder sogar neue verursachen. Husten durch trockene Luft: Trockene Luft reizt die Atemwege, was zu Husten f\u00fchren kann.
Kopfschmerzen: Zu trockene Raumluft kann Kopfschmerzen oder Migr\u00e4ne ausl\u00f6sen.
Nebenh\u00f6hlenerkrankungen: Symptome wie verstopfte Nase, Allergien und Niesen k\u00f6nnen durch trockene Luft verst\u00e4rkt werden.
Gereizte Augen: Trockene Luft kann auch deine Augen reizen und zu Trockenheit und R\u00f6tungen f\u00fchren.
Wenn du eines oder mehrere dieser Symptome bemerkst, k\u00f6nnte dies ein Hinweis darauf sein, dass die Luftfeuchtigkeit in deinem Raum zu niedrig ist.
Ein Luftbefeuchter kann hier Abhilfe schaffen und f\u00fcr eine angenehmere und ges\u00fcndere Umgebung sorgen.

Preis-Leistungs Alternative Philips HU4803 Luftbefeuchter Foto von Amazon Philips HU4803
Der Philips HU4803 zeichnet sich als Preis-Leistungs-Sieger im Luftbefeuchter-Test aus. Dieses Modell bietet eine effiziente Leistung zu einem erschwinglichen Preis. Hier sind die wichtigsten Aspekte aus dem Testbericht:
Vorteile:
Ausgezeichnetes Preis-Leistungs-Verh\u00e4ltnis: Bietet gute Leistung zu einem erschwinglichen Preis. Kompaktes Design: Mit den Ma\u00dfen 24,9 x 24,9 x 33,9 cm nimmt er wenig Platz ein. Vergleichsweise leise: Arbeitet leiser als viele andere Modelle. Nachteile:
Geringes Fassungsverm\u00f6gen: Der Wassertank fasst nur 2 Liter. Fehlende Filter: Es fehlen ein Kalk- und ein antibakterieller Filter. Der Philips HU4803 arbeitet nach dem Verdunstungsprinzip und kann einen Liter Wasser in knapp drei Stunden verdunsten.

Ein Nachteil ist das Fehlen spezieller Filter, was besonders in Gebieten mit hartem Wasser oder erh\u00f6hter Bakterienbelastung bedenklich sein kann.
Der Austausch des vorhandenen Filters wird alle sechs Monate empfohlen und kostet etwa 18 Euro pro St\u00fcck.
Insgesamt ist der Philips HU4803 eine gute Wahl f\u00fcr diejenigen, die ein kompaktes, effizientes und preiswertes Ger\u00e4t suchen.

"奧利維亞·羅德里戈的粉絲“在糟糕的情況下盡力而為”
奧利維亞·羅德里戈 (Olivia Rodrigo) 的粉絲在曼徹斯特的一家酒吧里喝著飲料，找到了一種有趣的方式來擺脫 Co-op Live 競技場停歇時間表的混亂。
由於陷入困境的場地推遲了美國歌手的演出，許多人感到失望，因此決定參加專門為持票人安排的羅德里戈主題晚會。
「我們正在盡力應對糟糕的情況，」一位球迷說。
23 歲的米婭·湯尼 (Mia Tunney) 補充道：“來這裡跳舞讓我們感覺好多了。”
Aziya，16 歲和 Naoimi，19 歲，來自北愛爾蘭
阿齊亞和娜奧米表示，演出被推遲時“流了很多眼淚”
來自曼徹斯特的米婭和朋友艾米莉亞·博伊蘭去年拿到門票後都為羅德里戈的演出預訂了休息日。
艾米莉亞說，“我們沒有觀看他們最喜歡的表演之一，而是隨機預約去看《綠野仙蹤》。”
這位 22 歲的女孩已經因 Co-op Live 的混亂開場而陷入困境，因為她的 Peter Kay 演出門票受到了影響。
米婭說：“我們都很沮喪，所以我們只是想出去充分利用這個機會。”她補充說，她認為在曼徹斯特大猩猩酒吧舉辦奧利維亞·羅德里戈主題派對是一個“非常好的”主意。
它是該市為尋找新計劃的持票人提供替代選擇的眾多地點之一。
Becky Mahon，31 歲，來自帕廷頓；Amber Uttamlal，23 歲，來自普雷斯頓
朋友貝基和安布爾決定慶祝“奧利維亞·羅德里戈日”
來自北愛爾蘭的阿齊亞和娜奧伊米昨天決定飛往曼徹斯特，儘管幾天前得知他們無法觀看他們最喜歡的明星。
「我太興奮了，我想為她悲傷的歌曲而哭泣，而不是因為我看不到她表演而哭泣，」阿齊亞說。
「這太煩人了，」內奧米說。
羅德里戈本人也表達了同樣的觀點，這位美國歌手兼詞曲作者表示，當她的周末演出成為困擾 Co-op Live 開幕的“技術問題”的受害者時，她“非常失望”。
若音樂會延期，您有哪些權利？
奧利維亞·羅德里戈 (Olivia Rodrigo) 的曼徹斯特巡演日期因 Co-op Live 競技場慘敗而失敗
我花了 1,500 英鎊去看奧利維亞·羅德里戈 (Olivia Rodrigo) 的 Co-op Live
來自帕廷頓的貝基·馬洪(Becky Mahon) 表示，她決定在大猩猩派對上與朋友安布爾·烏塔姆拉(Amber Uttamlal) 會面，“無論如何，都有屬於自己的奧利維亞·羅德里戈小日」。
「說實話，我很內疚，但我很高興我們能以不同的方式慶祝，今天只是在曼徹斯特閒逛並獲得友誼手鐲，」安布爾說。
薩默·斯塔布斯 (Summer Stubbs)，15 歲，和她的媽媽 Lydnsey Stubbs
夏天本來打算和她媽媽琳賽一起看羅德里戈的比賽
這場演出原本是為伯恩利 15 歲的 Summer 舉辦的 GCSE 預科慶祝活動，她的家人為她買了一張門票作為聖誕禮物。
「觀看她比賽是我的夢想，」這位少年說。
“我喜歡她從音樂劇開始，而且她的自信不斷增強，因為我從事音樂劇，所以我覺得我和她有一種聯繫。”
媽媽林德西說，一家人“萬事皆變”，希望演出能夠重新安排到他們都可以參加的日期。
「待在家裡並為此感到悲傷是沒有意義的，你必須充分利用這種情況，」薩默說。

"Dua Lipa trid tibdel Glastonbury ta’ din is-sena f’nightclub
Tkellem dwar titjib. Meta Dua Lipa titkellem fuq Glastonbury f’Ġunju f’Ġunju, se tkun l-ewwel dehra tagħha f’Worthy Farm minn meta daqqet l-istadju ridott ta’ John Peel fl-2017.
Dak iż-żmien, kienet l-akbar folla li qatt lagħbet magħha. In-nies ħarġu barra mit-tinda fl-għelieqi tal-madwar.
Dritt wara l-prestazzjoni, hija qabżet mill-palk f’intervista mal-BBC.
Imma hekk kif qagħdet bilqiegħda, hi winced.
""Jien għamilt korriment lili nnifsi,"" stqarret. ""Għamlitli d-denb.""
Kienet aggravament ta’ ferita antika, ikkawżata mill-intensità tal-whiplash taż-żfin tagħha.
“Kont nagħmel kull xorta ta’ ħwejjeġ miġnun u meta ħriġt il-palk, bilkemm kont nista’ nimxi,” ammettiet.
Minkejja l-uġigħ, kienet estatikata. Il-gig ħassew bħala ""pass kbir 'il fuq"".
1:33
Dua Lipa dwar l-ambizzjonijiet tagħha għal Glastonbury
F'dak il-punt, Dua Lipa kienet għadha ma Dua Lipa: Il-globu-conquering, Brit Award rebbieħa, pandemija-soundtracking, Barbie-starring fornitur ta 'glossy disco pop.
Iżda xahar wara, hija ħarġet il-video ta 'lewn pastell għal Regoli Ġodda, u l-karriera tagħha nbidlet mil-lum għal għada.
Numru wieħed fir-Renju Unit, u l-ewwel hit tagħha fl-Istati Uniti, il-messaġġ ta’ solidarjetà femminili tal-kanzunetta wassalha fit-territorju prinċipali tal-pop-girl, wara snin ta’ tħaffir minn wara l-kwinti.
Bnadar ħomor
Il-kanzunetta laħqet it-tliet biljuni daqq tagħha fuq YouTube f'Jannar dan - hekk kif Dua bdiet tkabbar il-kampanja għat-tielet album antiċipat ħafna tagħha, Radical Optimism.
Huwa rekord li jaraha tinnaviga l-ħajja wara tkissir kbir, u tistabbilixxi Regoli Ġodda ġodda biex tkisser mudell ta’ dating ħażin ‘uns.
“Qabel, kont nara bandiera ħamra u nkun bħal, ‘Oh, kemm sabiħ’,” tidħaq.
“Jista’ jkun xi ħaġa: Kumment wieħed imqareb u umiljan li tħassar... u mbagħad tirrealizza li huwa mudell.
""Tgħallimt li ma nibdix lili nnifsi.""
Getty Images Dua Lipa f'kunċertGetty Images
L-istilla biegħet 1.5 miljun kopja tal-ewwel żewġ albums tagħha, Dua Lipa u Future Nostalgia, fir-Renju Unit biss
Dawk il-lezzjonijiet jippenetraw l-innijiet taż-żfin punchy u mdaħħla fl-album. Fuq is-singles Training Season u Houdini, hi tistudja lill-imsieħba prospettivi, u turi l-bieb lil kull min jaqa 'taħt l-istandards tagħha.
Il-lirika kienet ispirata minn sensiela ta’ dati ħżiena li ġarrbet wara li ħarġet minn relazzjoni ta’ sentejn ma’ Anwar Hadid (ħu Bella u Gigi Hadid).
Imma kif jaħdem id-dating għal xi ħadd fil-livell ta 'fama ta' Dua Lipa? In-nies huma intimidati li jistaqsuha toħroġ?
“Ma nafx jekk in-nies tħossokx liberu li javviċinawni,” taħseb Dua. ""Jista 'jkun?
“Apps tad-dating, għalija, ma naħsibx li jaħdmu. Jistgħu jaħsbu li qed jiġu catfished.
“Inħobb immur fuq rakkomandazzjoni ta’ ħabib. Jagħmilha aktar faċli meta jiġu vverifikati.""
Id-data perfetta
Meta ssir taqbila, l-aspettattivi tagħha għall-ewwel data huma charmingly unstarry.
""Inħobb mixja fil-park,"" tgħid.
""Tista 'chat u timxi u ssir taf lil xi ħadd. L-ebda frills. M'għandux għalfejn ikun xi ħaġa fantastika.
“Li jkollok konversazzjoni tajba hija l-aqwa ħaġa. Hekk tara jekk inti ġell, jekk hemmx xrar.”
Għalissa, għall-inqas, dak mhux ta 'tħassib. Dua ilha f’relazzjoni mal-attur Brittaniku Callum Turner mill-bidu tas-sena.
U l-ħajja personali tagħha se jkollha tieħu post ta’ wara hekk kif tħejji ruħha għal sajf impenjattiv.
Getty Images Dua Lipa fir-ritratt waqt lejl barra mal-attur Brittaniku Callum Turner fi New YorkGetty Images

Radical Optimism joħroġ nhar il-Ġimgħa, b'Dua jospita u jkanta fis-Saturday Night Live jum wara (l-aħħar artist Brittaniku mistieden biex jagħmel dan kien Harry Styles).
Barra minn hekk, għandha s-serje tal-podcasts tagħha, in-newsletter tal-arti u l-kultura ta’ kull ġimgħa Service95, u serje dokumentarja Disney+ li ġejja dwar ix-xena mużikali ta’ Camden, li hija pproduċiet b’mod eżekuttiv.
Iżda imminenti fuq kollox huwa r-ritorn ta’ Dua lejn Glastonbury. Din id-darba fuq il-Pyramid Stage.
""Naħseb dwarha l-ħin kollu,"" tgħid hi.
""Ħamsin fil-mija tal-ħsibijiet tiegħi jmorru Glastonbury, imbagħad il-bqija huma għall-kompiti ta 'kuljum.""
Il-vjaġġ tagħha lejn il-quċċata tal-kont huwa storja ta’ aspirazzjoni, taqlib u tenaċità li tmur lura sat-tfulija.

"杜阿·利帕 (Dua Lipa) 希望將今年的格拉斯頓伯里音樂節變成夜總會
談論升級。今年6 月，杜阿·利帕(Dua Lipa) 登上格拉斯頓伯里音樂節(Glastonbury) 的頭條新聞，這將是她自2017 年在狹窄的約翰·皮爾(John Peel) 舞台上演出以來首次出現在沃西農場(Worthy Farm)。
當時，這是她演奏過的最大規模的觀眾。人們從帳篷裡湧出，來到周圍的田野。
演出結束後，她立即走下舞台接受了 BBC 的採訪。
但當她坐下來時，她卻皺起了眉頭。
“我受傷了，”她承認道，“我壓碎了尾骨。”
這是舊傷的加重，是她跳舞時的劇烈扭傷所造成的。
「我做了各種瘋狂的事情，當我走下舞台時，我幾乎無法行走，」她承認。
儘管痛苦，她還是欣喜若狂。這次演出感覺就像「一個巨大的進步」。

杜阿·利帕 (Dua Lipa) 談及格拉斯頓伯里音樂節的雄心壯志
那時，杜阿·利帕(Dua Lipa) 還不是杜阿·利帕(Dua Lipa)：征服全球、榮獲全英音樂獎、風靡全球的配樂、由芭比娃娃主演的閃亮迪斯科流行音樂的傳播者。
但一個月後，她發布了《新規則》的柔和色調視頻，她的職業生涯一夜之間發生了變化。
這首歌在英國排名第一，也是她在美國的第一首熱門歌曲，它所傳達的女性團結的信息將她在幕後忙碌了多年之後推入了主要的流行女孩領域。
紅旗
今年 1 月，這首歌在 YouTube 上的播放量達到了 30 億次，與此同時，Dua 開始加強宣傳她備受期待的第三張專輯《Radical Optimism》。
這張唱片見證了她在重大分手後的生活，並製定了新的“新規則”，以打破約會錯誤的模式。
“以前，我看到一面紅旗就會說，’哦，多漂亮啊’，”她笑著說。
「它可以是任何東西：一個狡猾的、有辱人格的評論，你不予理睬……然後你意識到這是一種模式。
“我已經學會了不要欺騙自己。”
杜阿·利帕 (Dua Lipa) 在音樂會中 蓋蒂圖片社
這位明星的前兩張專輯《Dua Lipa》和《Future Nostalgia》僅在英國就售出了 150 萬張
這些教訓滲透到了專輯中有力、激動的舞曲中。在單曲《訓練季》和《胡迪尼》中，她會審查潛在的合作夥伴，並向任何低於她標準的人展示大門。
歌詞的靈感來自於她與安瓦爾·哈迪德（貝拉和吉吉·哈迪德的兄弟）結束兩年關係後所經歷的一系列糟糕的約會。
但對於像杜阿·利帕這樣的名氣的人來說，約會是如何進行的呢？人們會害怕約她出去嗎？
「我不知道人們是否願意接近我，」杜阿沉思道。 「或許？
「對我來說，約會應用程式行不通。他們可能認為自己被鯰魚了。
「我喜歡聽朋友的推薦。當他們接受審查時，這會讓事情變得更容易。
完美的約會
當配對完成後，她對第一次約會的期望卻非常不樂觀。
「我喜歡在公園散步，」她說。
「你可以透過聊天、散步來認識某人。沒有多餘的裝飾。不一定要很花俏。
「進行一次愉快的交談是最好的事。這就是你看到是否凝結、是否有火花的方式。
至少現在，這不是一個問題。自今年年初以來，杜阿一直與英國演員卡勒姆特納保持著戀愛關係。
當她為忙碌的夏天做準備時，她的個人生活將不得不退居二線。

Radical Optimism 於週五發布，一天後 Dua 在《週六夜現場》中主持並演唱（最後一位受邀的英國藝術家是 Harry Styles）。
此外，她還製作了自己的播客系列、每週一次的藝術和文化通訊 Service95，以及即將由她執行製作的關於卡姆登音樂場景的 Disney+ 紀錄片系列。
但最重要的是杜阿重返格拉斯頓伯里。這次是在金字塔舞台上。
「我一直在想這個問題，」她說。
“我百分之五十的想法都集中在格拉斯頓伯里，其餘的則用於日常事務。”
她的巔峰之旅是一個充滿抱負、挫折和堅韌的故事，可以追溯到童年。

那时，杜阿·利帕 (Dua Lipa) 还不是杜阿·利帕 (Dua Lipa)：征服全球、荣获全英音乐奖、风靡全球的配乐、由芭比娃娃主演的闪亮迪斯科流行音乐的传播者。
但一个月后，她发布了《新规则》的柔和色调视频，她的职业生涯一夜之间发生了变化。
这首歌在英国排名第一，也是她在美国的第一首热门歌曲，它所传达的女性团结的信息将她在幕后忙碌了多年之后推入了主要的流行女孩领域。
红旗
今年 1 月，这首歌在 YouTube 上的播放量达到了 30 亿次，与此同时，Dua 开始加大力度宣传她备受期待的第三张专辑《Radical Optimism》。
这张唱片见证了她在一次重大分手后的生活，并制定了新的“新规则”，以打破约会错误的模式。
“以前，我看到一面红旗就会说，‘哦，多漂亮啊’，”她笑着说。
“它可以是任何东西：一个狡猾的、有辱人格的评论，你不予理睬……然后你意识到这是一种模式。
“我已经学会了不要欺骗自己。”

这位明星的前两张专辑《Dua Lipa》和《Future Nostalgia》仅在英国就售出了 150 万张
这些教训渗透到了专辑中有力、激动的舞曲中。在单曲《训练季》和《胡迪尼》中，她会审查潜在的合作伙伴，并向任何低于她标准的人展示大门。
歌词的灵感来自于她与安瓦尔·哈迪德（贝拉和吉吉·哈迪德的兄弟）结束两年关系后所经历的一系列糟糕的约会。
但对于像杜阿·利帕这样的名气的人来说，约会是如何进行的呢？人们会害怕约她出去吗？
“我不知道人们是否愿意接近我，”杜阿沉思道。 “或许？
“对我来说，约会应用程序行不通。他们可能认为自己被鲶鱼了。
“我喜欢听朋友的推荐。当他们接受审查时，这会让事情变得更容易。”
完美的约会
当配对完成后，她对第一次约会的期望却非常不乐观。
“我喜欢在公园散步，”她说。
“你可以通过聊天、散步来认识某人。没有多余的装饰。不一定要很花哨。
“进行一次愉快的交谈是最好的事情。这就是你看到是否凝结、是否有火花的方式。”
至少现在，这不是一个问题。自今年年初以来，杜阿一直与英国演员卡勒姆·特纳保持着恋爱关系。
当她为忙碌的夏天做准备时，她的个人生活将不得不退居二线。

Radical Optimism 于周五发布，一天后 Dua 在《周六夜现场》中主持并演唱（最后一位受邀的英国艺术家是 Harry Styles）。
此外，她还制作了自己的播客系列、每周一次的艺术和文化通讯 Service95，以及即将由她执行制作的关于卡姆登音乐场景的 Disney+ 纪录片系列。
但最重要的是杜阿重返格拉斯顿伯里。这次是在金字塔舞台。
“我一直在想这个问题，”她说。
“我百分之五十的想法都集中在格拉斯顿伯里，其余的则用于日常事务。”
她的巅峰之旅是一个充满抱负、挫折和坚韧的故事，可以追溯到童年。

"Maqbuda fl-infern taħt bini mġarraf iżda miġbud ħaj
Imqabbad taħt it-terrapien ta’ blokk ta’ appartamenti ta’ ħames sulari li waqa’ fil-belt kostali ta’ George fl-Afrika t’Isfel, l-elettriku Delvin Safers kien maqbud ħdejn il-ġisem bla moviment u sieket tal-kollega tiegħu.
Huwa kien mejjet.
Is-Sur Safers kien imwerwer. Iżda fuq kollox, f’dak il-mument, kien imdejjaq għar-raġel li kien sar ħabib wara li ħadmu flimkien għal seba’ xhur jibnu l-blokk ta’ appartamenti ta’ kwalità għolja f’belt tul dik magħrufa bħala l-Garden Route xeniċi.
Il-flats b’veduta fuq il-muntanji issa kienu munzell ta’ debris, rinforzi tal-metall mibrum u armar imħassar, li jidfnu għexieren ta’ dawk li kienu ilhom jaħdmu fuq is-sit.
Is-Sur Safers ftakar li t-telefon tiegħu kien fil-but u b’driegħ ħieles tiegħu għamel l-ewwel sejħa tiegħu – l-aħħar kelma mal-familja tiegħu peress li kien konvint li mhux se jgħix.
""Xtaqt ngħid addio hekk kif kont maqbuda u ħsibt li spiċċa għalija,"" jgħid lill-BBC iż-żagħżugħ ta' 29 sena mid-dar tiegħu f'Mossel Bay, belt 40km (25 mil) fil-Lbiċ ta' George. Huwa jirkupra iżda ħsejjes eżawriti.
Ftit ftit minuti qabel id-dipul aċċidentali tiegħu nhar it-Tnejn li għadda wara nofsinhar, kien qed jiddiskuti problema tal-elettriku mal-kollega tiegħu fit-tielet sular meta, mingħajr ebda ħoss jew twissija, l-art waqgħet taħthom.
""Nista' nara dik il-qasma ta' sekonda meta waqgħu għax għadni niftakar li nħares lejn [il-kollega tiegħi] meta kont għadni naqa.""
Getty Images Il-ħaddiema tas-salvataġġ ikomplu bl-isforzi ta’ tfittxija u salvataġġ tagħhom fil-bini ta’ appartamenti Neo Victoria fi Triq Victoria fis-7 ta’ Mejju, 2024 f’George, l-Afrika t’IsfelGetty Images
Għadu mhux ċar x’wassal biex il-bini waqa’
Wara x-xokk inizjali, is-Sur Safers sar aktar tama li kien se jgħix.
“Ma għamiltx paniku. Għall-15-il siegħa li ġejjin jew hekk kont kalm. Kont qed nistenna hemm – nistenna, nittama u nitlob li xi ħadd isibna”.
Fuq l-art kienet għaddejja operazzjoni kumplessa ta’ salvataġġ matul il-lejl li tinvolvi magni heavy-duty li jiċċaqilqu l-art, trapani u skavaturi.
Għexieren ta’ nies kienu wkoll ineħħu t-terrapien bl-idejn fi proċess bil-mod. Ħafna minn dawk li ġew salvati l-ewwel kienu ilhom jaħdmu fl-ogħla sulari.
Iżda wara ftit il-qawwa tas-Sur Safers ċeda u t-tama li ħass inbidel f’disprament. Kien qed jirtoq bla kontroll, saqajh kienu qed jitħawwdu bl-uġigħ, dahru wkoll kien iweġġa’ u beda jiddubita li se joħroġ ħaj.
In-noti tal-vuċi li kien qed jibgħat lill-ħabiba tiegħu u lil ibnu, Zyar ta’ sentejn, saru dejjem aktar iddisprati.
B’nifs qawwi u misħut mill-uġigħ qalilhom: “Ma naħsibx li se nagħmel dan”.
Huwa seta’ jisma’ li s-salvataġġ kienu qrib imma kull darba li donnhom qed joqorbu kienu jgħaddu sigħat u ma kien jiġri xejn u kollox ħass iżżejjed, jgħid.
""Kont fi spazju żgħir ħafna... kont qiegħed fuq biċċiet tal-konkos, biċċiet tal-konkos miksura għal 28 siegħa.
""Ma stajtx niċċaqlaq. Stajt biss imqiegħed fuq dahru jew fuq naħa waħda tiegħi. Kien terribbli, kien uġigħ, kien kiesaħ u dlam... skur ħafna - kien infern.""
Kien jaħseb dwar ibnu li żammewh jiġġieled biex jibqa’ ħaj.
Delvin Safers Raġel u mara jħarsu lejn il-kamera u jitbissmuDelvin Safers
Delvin Safers (L) jgħid li ommu Delmarie (R) bagħtetlu stampa ta’ ibnu biex jgħin biex iżomm l-ispirtu tiegħu.
Skrollja r-ritratti li kellu ta’ Zyar u ftakar l-aħħar darba li rah. Omm is-Sur Safers kienet bagħtetlu wkoll ritratt riċenti ta’ ibnu biex iżomm l-ispirtu tiegħu.
Wara tmien sigħat xogħol ħdejh, is-salvataġġ irnexxielhom jeħilsu lil wieħed mill-kollegi tiegħu.
""Dak il-ħin ma stajtx nieħu n-nifs. Kont naf li kelli nkun b'saħħtu u issa kienu hawn u se joħorġuni,"" jgħid.
Iżda flimkien mal-eżenzjoni, kien hemm ukoll is-sentimenti rikorrenti ta 'ħtija u dwejjaq minħabba li ħafna nies kienu għadhom maqbuda ġewwa - u xi wħud kienu mietu. In-numru tal-imwiet issa huwa ta’ 32.
Fl-aħħarnett, wara aktar minn 28 siegħa taħt it-terrapien, is-Sur Safers ġie salvat.
""Ma kontx għatx jew bil-ġuħ. Meta offrewli l-ilma, ħadtu imma ġismi sempliċement ma ħassx li niekol jew nixrob. Ma nafx għaliex.""
Huwa ttieħed l-isptar biex jingħata l-kura għal qatgħa f’rasu u kustilja miksura.
Għadu ma jistax jemmen kif ħarab b’tant ftit ġrieħi u ħareġ mill-isptar wara jumejn biss.
""Huwa tal-għaġeb. Ma nafx kif ġara dan... Ninsab meħlus, ma nafx kif huwa possibbli [li noħroġ bi] korrimenti minimi imma għamilt.""
Huwa ovvjament għadu trawmatizzat u mħasseb iddisprat dwar dawk kollha li ħadem magħhom li jibqgħu maqbuda wara aktar minn ġimgħa. Hemm 20 persuna li ma nstabux.
Il-mistoqsijiet issa jduru fuq il-kawża tal-inċident, u l-awtoritajiet qed jgħidu li għaddejja investigazzjoni.
Is-Sur Safers jgħid li ma jiftakar l-ebda indikazzjoni li xi ħaġa tista’ tkun ħażina, iżda jaħseb li jekk jirriżulta li ttieħdu shortcuts fil-kostruzzjoni, allura n-nies “għandhom jinżammu responsabbli għall-ħajjiet mitlufa u n-nies li qatt ma jistgħu jaħdmu jew jimxu. mill-ġdid”.

"被困在倒塌建築物下的地獄，但活著被救了出來
南非沿海城市喬治一棟倒塌的五層公寓樓的廢墟下，電工 Delvin Safers 被困在同事一動不動、沉默寡言的屍體旁。
他死了。
薩弗斯先生很害怕。但最重要的是，在那一刻，他為這個在風景優美的花園大道沿線的城市裡一起工作七個月後成為朋友的男人感到悲傷。
那些能看到山景的公寓現在變成了一堆廢墟、扭曲的金屬鋼筋和破損的鷹架，埋葬了數十名在現場工作的人。
薩弗斯先生記得他的手機放在口袋裡，他用另一隻空閒的手臂撥打了第一通電話——這是他對家人說的最後一句話，因為他確信自己無法生存。
這位 29 歲的年輕人在喬治西南 40 公里（25 英里）的小鎮莫塞爾灣的家中告訴 BBC，“我想說再見，因為我被困住了，我以為我已經結束了。”正在恢復，但聽起來很疲憊。
就在上週一下午他意外被埋葬的前幾分鐘，他正在三樓與同事討論電氣問題，突然，在沒有任何聲音或警告的情況下，他們腳下的地板塌陷了。
“我能看到我們跌倒時的那一瞬間，因為我仍然記得當我還在跌倒時看著[我的同事]。”
2024 年 5 月 7 日，南非喬治，救援人員在維多利亞街的 Neo Victoria 公寓大樓繼續搜救工作
目前尚不清楚導致建築物倒塌的原因
在最初的震驚之後，薩弗斯先生對自己能活下來更加充滿希望。
“我並不驚慌。在接下來的15個小時左右的時間裡，我很平靜。我在那裡等著——等待、希望並祈禱有人能找到我們。
地面上，一場複雜的救援行動正在夜間進行，涉及重型土方機械、鑽孔機和挖掘機。
數十人也慢慢用手清除瓦礫。許多先獲救的人都在頂層工作。
但過了一會兒，薩弗斯先生的毅力消失了，他的希望變成了絕望。他無法控制地顫抖，雙腿疼痛地顫抖，背也痛，他開始懷疑自己是否能活著出去。
他發給女友和兩歲兒子札爾的語音留言變得越來越絕望。
他喘著氣，因疼痛而咒罵著：“我想我活不下去了。”
他能聽到救援人員就在附近，但每次他們似乎都在接近時，就會過去幾個小時，但什麼也不會發生，這一切都讓人感覺太難受了，他說。
「我在一個非常小的空間裡……我躺在混凝土塊、破碎的混凝土塊上 28 小時。
「我無法動彈。我只能仰臥或一側躺著。這太可怕了，很痛苦，又冷又黑……非常黑——簡直就是地獄。”
正是對兒子的思念讓他為活下去而奮鬥。
德爾文·薩弗斯 (Delvin Safers) 男人和女人看著鏡頭微笑德爾文·薩弗斯 (Delvin Safers)
德爾文·薩弗斯（左）說，他的母親德爾瑪麗（右）給他發了一張兒子的照片，以幫助他保持精神狀態
他翻閱著札爾的照片，想起了最後一次見到他的情景。薩弗斯先生的母親還給他發了一張兒子的近照，以讓他打起精神。
在他附近工作了八個小時後，救援人員成功救出了他的一位同事。
「我當時無法呼吸。我知道我必須堅強，他們現在就在這裡，會把我救出來，」他說。
但除了寬慰之外，還有一種反覆出現的內疚和悲傷的感覺，因為很多人仍然被困在裡面——有些人已經死亡。目前死亡人數為32人。
經過在廢墟下待了 28 個多小時，薩弗斯先生終於得救了。
“我不渴也不餓。當他們給我水時，我喝了，但我的身體就是不想吃或喝。我不知道為什麼。”
他因頭部割傷和肋骨骨折而被送往醫院接受治療。
他仍然不敢相信自己是如何毫髮無傷地逃脫並在短短兩天后就出院的。
「這太神奇了。我不知道這是怎麼發生的……我鬆了一口氣，我不知道如何才能以最小的傷害逃脫，但我做到了。”
他顯然仍然受到了創傷，並且非常擔心所有與他一起工作的人在一個多星期後仍然被困。目前還有20人下落不明。
現在問題轉向事故原因，當局表示調查正在進行中。
薩弗斯先生表示，他不記得有任何跡象表明可能出現問題，但他認為，如果事實證明在施工過程中走了捷徑，那麼人們「應該對失去的生命以及可能永遠無法工作或行走的人負責」再次」。

""Għadna qed naħdmu mat-tim tal-kejbil tal-fibra taħt il-baħar biex isolvu l-kwistjoni,"" Airtel Kenya wieġbet lil utent Kenjan imħasseb dwar il-problema.
Vodacom Tanzania bagħtet messaġġ simili fuq il-midja soċjali għal mistoqsijiet bħal dawn.
Cloudflare Radar, li jimmonitorja l-konnettività tal-internet, il-Ħadd qal li t-Tanżanija kienet waħda mill-agħar pajjiżi milquta bit-traffiku niżel għal 30% tal-livelli mistennija.
Il-gazzetta Citizen tat-Tanżanija ddeskriviet dak li ġara bħala ""bla qtugħ tal-internet [li] affettwa kanali tan-netwerk ewlenin"".
Fuq X, li qabel kienet magħrufa bħala Twitter, il-fornituri tas-servizz kienu qed jagħmlu mistoqsijiet minn klijenti frustrati.
Bi tweġiba għal utent Kenjan wieħed li ried ikun jaf jekk jistax jara l-logħba tal-Ħadd Manchester United kontra Arsenal English Premier League, Airtel Kenya qalet li t-tim tagħha kien qed jaħdem fuq il-“kwistjoni tan-netwerk” u skużat ruħha.
Safaricom, ukoll fil-Kenja, qalet li qed “tesperjenza sfida”.
Airtel Ugandan qalet li kienet konxja tas-“servizz tal-internet intermittenti”. U MTN Rwanda qal li kien hemm ""kwistjoni ta 'degradazzjoni tar-rabtiet internazzjonali"".
Il-Malawi, il-Możambik u l-Madagaskar ġew affettwati wkoll skont Cloudflare Radar.
Is-Sur Roberts, mill-kumpanija pan-Afrikana Liquid Intelligent Technologies, qal li kien ikkonferma li kejbil wieħed li jimxi mal-kosta tal-Afrika tal-Lvant, magħruf bħala Eassy, ​​kien inqata’ aktar kmieni nhar il-Ħadd xi 45 km (28 mil) fit-tramuntana tan-Nofsinhar. Belt Afrikana tal-port ta' Durban.
Inqata’ wkoll cable ieħor. Eskluda l-idea li jista’ jkun sabotaġġ u qal li kienet pjuttost koinċidenza sfortunata.
Kejbils oħra li jgħaqqdu l-Afrika tal-Lvant mal-Ewropa huma wkoll disponibbli u gradwalment is-servizz għandu jitjieb hekk kif id-dejta tiġi rotta mill-ġdid. Iżda peress li ħafna kumpaniji kbar għandhom ċentri tad-dejta fl-Afrika t'Isfel, il-ħsara lir-rabta vitali li tipprovdi l-Eassy kellha impatt kbir.
F'Marzu, ġew irrappurtati qtugħ mifrux f'pajjiżi inklużi l-Afrika t'Isfel, in-Niġerja, il-Kosta tal-Avorju, il-Liberja, il-Benin, il-Gana u l-Burkina Faso.
Dan kien ukoll imqassam għal fallimenti tal-kejbil. Il-kawża ma kinitx ċara iżda wasslet għall-frustrazzjoni ta 'miljuni ta' klijenti madwar il-kontinent.

"東非各地均感受到網路中斷
肯亞、坦尚尼亞、盧安達和烏幹達的網路使用者一直在抱怨網路連線不佳，而東非各地的服務供應商都承認有問題。
他們表示正在努力解決這個問題。
行業專家本·羅伯茨告訴英國廣播公司，服務不穩定是由於透過南非將該地區與世界其他地區連接起來的海底電纜故障造成的。
三月份，西非和南部非洲部分地區也經歷了類似的停電。
週一，一些東非人仍然遇到網路速度緩慢的問題，一些電信業者表示該問題尚未完全解決，並要求用戶耐心等待。
「我們仍在與海底光纜團隊合作，讓他們解決這個問題。」Airtel Kenya 回應一位關注該問題的肯亞用戶。
坦尚尼亞沃達康在社群媒體上針對此類詢問發送了類似的訊息。
監控網路連線的 Cloudflare Radar 週日表示，坦尚尼亞是受影響最嚴重的國家之一，流量下降至預期水準的 30%。
坦尚尼亞《公民報》將所發生的情況描述為「影響了主要網路頻道的網路中斷」。
在 X（以前稱為 Twitter）上，服務提供者一直在處理沮喪的客戶的詢問。
一位肯亞用戶想知道他們是否能夠觀看周日曼聯對陣阿森納的英超比賽，肯亞航空公司在回應時表示，其團隊正在解決「網路問題」並表示歉意。
同樣位於肯亞的 Safaricom 表示，它「正在經歷挑戰」。
烏幹達 Airtel 表示，它知道「間歇性的網路服務」。 MTN 盧安達表示，存在「國際聯繫退化的問題」。
據 Cloudflare Radar 稱，馬拉威、莫三比克和馬達加斯加也受到了影響。
來自泛非公司 Liquid Intelligence Technologies 的羅伯茨先生表示，他已證實，一條沿著東非海岸運行的名為 Eassy 的電纜於週日早些時候在南部以北約 45 公里（28 英里）處被切斷。城市德班。
另一條電纜也被切斷。他排除了這可能是破壞行為的可能性，並表示這是一個令人不快的巧合。
連接東非和歐洲的其他電纜也已開通，隨著資料的重新路由，服務應該會逐漸改善。但由於許多大公司在南非都設有資料中心，Eassy 提供的重要連結的損壞產生了重大影響。
3月份，南非、奈及利亞、科特迪瓦、賴比瑞亞、貝南、加納和布吉納法索等國家報告出現大規模停電。
這也被歸咎於電纜故障。原因尚不清楚，但導致非洲大陸數百萬客戶感到沮喪。
