All information was gathered and translated from various available sources.
In 199X, Japan was rocked by strange incidents.
Recently, mysterious and unexplainable incidents have taken place that have rocked the country. In high schools all over, students have been mysteriously disappearing with no clue as to their whereabouts. Furthermore, it appeared that these unspeakable acts were occurring in direct defiance of the school system. These disappearances were taking place in many different locations simultaneously, and many thought that they were being staged by an organized crime ring.
It was also rumored throughout the world that these acts were being plotted by either school officials or agents of a rogue foreign government.
Taiyo High School Gorin High School Pacific High School Gedo High School Justice High School
Personality: Impulsive, foul-mouthed, and belligerent, but at heart, he's got a strong sense of justice. Batsu has a tender side and a kind heart that shows when he takes care of his mother. But, because of his tendency to be forward and rough, Batsu is often misunderstood.
Story: Batsu's mother Shizuku, who raised him alone since he was a small child, suddenly vanished from her job at Taiyou. Batsu entered Taiyou in hopes of finding his missing mother. While investigating, Batsu learned of a mysterious new school called Justice High. With high hopes and a powerful spirit, Batsu enters the fight.
Short Story: A Day of Youth, The Warmth of a Mother
Personality: She's smart and excels in all sports. Her winning spirit makes her a bit of a smart-aleck, and curiosity makes her a lively, cheerful, modern schoolgirl. Her hand-to-hand techniques possess the heavenly talent and an excellent fighting sense. Through training via a correspondence course, her skill is at the level of those competing in national tournaments. Because she just can't keep still, she goes running around off campus after school. She loves cake and always eats it on the way home from school.
Story: The rundown of her alma mater Taiyou High is an important thing, and she wanted other students to fight with her, but no one would follow her. Then Batsu came to move into the downtrodden place. Since they both have mutual purposes, they seem to be set to go out together, however, in a moment, Batsu refuses Hinata's offer to work with him. But since Hinata just can't keep still, she goes along with Batsu against his will.
Short Story: Tiny Cake Heart
Personality: The opposite of Batsu. Cool and calculating. He almost never shows his emotions and each pose and appearance he takes stands out with his coolness. He doesn't show it on the outside, but inside he holds a strong sense of justice. After a pose, he makes it a habit to touch his glasses with his right hand.
Story: Wherever there's information to find on Batsu's mother, Kyosuke and Batsu fight together in search of information. But it looks like Kyosuke has an important secret that he can't tell Batsu…
Short Story: Kyosuke's Morals Diary
Personality: Has a quick temper and hates to lose. Has a strong sense of justice, but because he's so impulsive, he's always at a loss for what he tries to do. Because he causes wild fights during games, he's established himself as a regular member of the club by no particular means necessary. He's extremely self-conscious about his height; he always fights with Natsu, who is tall, and tries to make a fool of him. He throws the fight right back at her, but she always turns it around. It turns out Natsu was an old friend from childhood, and now that she's growing up and becoming more of a woman, her casual, less combative actions have caused a lot of tension...
Story: His older brother, an ace pitcher from the same school, Shuuichi, was attacked by someone. To clear his brother's humiliation of being cut off from turning pro, to find out the truth, and for revenge, Shoma goes to raid other schools.
Short Story: A Youth of Pursuing Baseball
Personality: Natsu is a smart, outspoken "big sister" type with a winning spirit. With her sharp-edged personality, she hates people that bully the weak, lies, and insects. She's tall, and her strong-minded, "mannish" personality just might be the ruin of her. Every day, her shoebox becomes more and more full of love letters from other girls. On the other hand, since she scares away all the guys at school, Natsu's grateful to know a guy who doesn't hesitate to fight with her every day like Shoma. Although her boyish qualities stand out, she also has a cute side that yearns for romance and a womanly side that shows that she is an excellent cook.
Story: At Gorin High, each club's highest-ranking member was attacked in a series of coinciding events. Natsu and two others that go to the same school as she, Shoma and Roberto, got together and discussed it all, then set out as a team of three to find the cause of their investigation.
Short Story: Spiking Towards Tomorrow
Personality: A student that's quarter-Brazilian (his nationality is Japanese, however.) His Brazilian blood brings a cool and shy side to him. He's awfully quiet and a loner, but when he sees needy people at a shelter, he can't leave them alone. Of Gorin's team of three, he plays an inside role of watching over the other two. Every time the other two argue, Roberto makes it a daily routine to turn around and shrug his shoulders. He's usually cool, but when he gets in a soccer match, he becomes one hot-blooded jerk. If he's making the deciding shot, he puts his whole body into it, expressing the joy that's sure to follow.
Story: Natsu and Shoma's uneasy combination is on the hunt for criminals. However, so the two don't run around wildly, he looks over them. He is worried that this action might hinder his chances of becoming a professional soccer player.
Short Story: The Sun Visor of Promise
Personality: As the star quarterback of an unbeatable American football team, he's the guy all the students want to be. Though he's capricious, and just a little less than serious. To make matters worse, he tries more than anyone else to look sharp. Though, if one looks through all of that, one will find a really frank and basic side to him that really hates cowardice. Because he was repeatedly told about how his grandfather lost his leg in the Pacific War (World War II) when he was little, Roy despises most things Japanese.
Story: Because his father is working to make Roy become a diplomat, he makes Roy transfer to Japan at Pacific High School unwillingly. However, Roy has yet to like being in Japan, and from his uneasy placement there, he gets a request from his father to check out the disturbing goings-on at Justice High.
Short Story: Top Ten Japan Dislikes!
Personality: She's proud that everyone recognizes her beautiful face. A cheerful and bubbly (bubble-headed) "American funky girl". Her present interests are fashion and love, and she doesn't miss the chance to go to the dance club on weekends. Because she is always in a haze and playing around, she doesn't have thoughts of the future in her head at all. On a more positive side, she has a cute side that misses her parents in America, who never miss the chance to send her presents or call her on the phone. Before they were sent overseas, Roy and Tiffany went to the same school; since she has come to Japan, she fell deeply in love with him. She recalls something bothering Roy, who usually isn't easily disturbed.
Story: Tiffany joined Roy in the investigation of Justice High Roy's father ordered, in hopes that Roy will somehow turn around (to face her).
Short Story: Tiffany's Day Out ♥
Personality: Acts like a true adult; gentle. A devout Christian who never misses mass on Sunday. He is well aware of how big and strong he is; he often warns himself silently of this fact. To clear his mind, after a fight, he just can't avoid Boman asking God for forgiveness. He fights the way he believes and never neglects to take his pendant into his closed hands and move into a thankful pose towards God.
Story: As Roy and Tiffany go to investigate Justice High, Boman joins in to watch over those two.
Short Story: Boman's Beautiful Sunday
Personality: Edge's personality can be described in one phrase: "irresponsible and unfair". No matter how he looks toward his opponents, he's got an army knife waiting for them without them knowing about it; hence his popular nickname "Army Knife's Edge". If his clothes get wrinkled a little, he has a habit of grabbing his collar or chest area and fixing it afterward. Edge hates his given name, and if you call him by his real name he gets mad.
Story: Ever since the "boss of Gedou" Daigo disappeared, Edge leans a spying ear to the other schools in pursuit of his whereabouts.
Short Story: Best Knives From All Over the World
Personality: Silent. Akira usually hardly ever speaks out. Possesses a cool-headed, spirited personality. Under the helmet lies an Akira that no one knows
Story: Because Akira's own brother, Daigo, has become one of the missing, Akira enters Gedou High. Being treated as "Daigo's little brother", Akira joins up with Gan and Edge and gathers information.
Short Story: Daigo: A Man Among Men
Personality: Possessing immense physical might, Gan's only boast is his strength in fights. He doesn't have a grasp on even the most basic things, and he'll believe just about anything. In fact, if someone sneaky tried to take advantage of Gan, he'd still draw not much more than a blank from the big guy; Gan's a dunce of a character. More than anything else, Gan looks forward to having three meals a day. At every meal, he has no less than a mountain-sized helping of rice stacked five times over in a bowl.
Story: Because Daigo, the "boss" to all the gangs at Gedo, disappeared, Akira (who Gan believes is Daigo's little brother) suggested a conference about the search for the missing students; Gan joined in too and went on to play a part in the search.
Short Story: The Thriving Time of Gan
Personality: He's gentlemanly and possesses a strong sense of justice, but his speech and social skills are poor. He leads a serious personal life; he doesn't smoke, nor does he drink. He is in his 40s and presently looking for a wife. It doesn't look like it, but Hideo is really a 9th dan master of karate, and the reputable Shimazu style is evident in his actions. After his father, the director of the dojo, died, a large quarrel over the estate began. The fight became charged with hatred and the inheritance was taken out of his own hands.
Story: Per Justice High's director Raizo's directive, Hideo was to act as a scout to search around the local schools in search of talented students for the school; however, in the process of scouting, he begins to have doubts about the school's methods.
Short Story: Mobile Teacher G Hideon
Personality: Originally an assistant at a certain school of orthopedic surgery. An expert in orthopedics and anatomy with the control of a surgical genius. Both witty and beautiful, clearly intelligent, elegant, and full of style. The male students never fail to come into her infirmary with fake illnesses and such, as she is the object of their yearning. When she puts on the white coat, she transforms into an energetic woman doctor that is full of intellect, but when she takes it off, she also has a slovenly, careless side. She'll drink a lot and her domestic skills (i.e. cleaning and cooking) are horrible.
Story: Per Justice High's director Raizo's directive, Kyoko was to act as a scout to search around the local schools in search of talented students for the school; however, in the process of scouting, she begins to have doubts about the school's methods.
Short Story: School Infirmary in the Early Afternoon
Personality: A thick-nerved man who doesn't bother with petty things; He has a disposition that is both hearty and cheerful. Toward himself, he is strict; he is strong-willed, his convictions are piercing, and he only makes his mind up once. He has an unusual way of getting things done and a preeminent, natural charisma, and has the power to take down massive organizations.
Story: As Raizo had feared, as the effects of the Imawano family's special training methods had created many a top-notch talent at his academy (Justice) and the academy had gotten all the more famous, opposition from the Imawano family to the public release of the teaching methods Raizo had been the only child to inherit was high, and his life was targeted. In addition to this, just to drive the nail into the coffin, the Imawano clan pressured Raizo mentally because of their opposition to his plans to give his own child extra special education, usually reserved for gifted students. Because of this, Raizo hid himself from both his wife and very young son. However, Raizo was never free from his sadness. Afterward, he did nothing but keep on, for the sake of the academy. Gradually, his family's opposition came to an end, and one day, as Raizo was making his rounds at the academy, he noticed a student both scholarly and physically strong, with outstanding grades. His name was Hyo, and the students were well aware of his abilities and popularity. Since his wife and son have disappeared, Raizo, who forgot all about his plan of succession decided to groom Hyo mainly for the eventual inheritance. Because he had put so much work into the academy, Raizo's body was already beginning to lose its ability to overexert itself. Raizo was having thoughts of retiring after Hyo graduates, leaving the academy in Hyo's hands. In actuality, Hyo is an illegitimate child of the Imawano clan. He has, at the behest of some family members, planted the seeds of a secret mission: to "revive a group of assassins" and "rule Japan with terror and mayhem".
Short Story: From the Teacher's Desk
Personality: Cold and cruel. To reach his goals, he'll do anything. His aggressive personality is based on that of his father, Mugen Imawano. He controls other people with his powerful brainwashing techniques, but Hyo is unaware that since he was a small child, he has been brainwashed by his father; he has a "father complex".
Story: Hyo uses his abilities, which surpass those of everyone else at Justice High, and his charisma as a weapon to turn all the academy's students into his own personal followers. One time, Raizo went overseas to inspect a high school at which he had planned to make a joint venture with Justice. Hyo used this opportunity to put a plan he had been warming up into motion. He brainwashed those of the best mind and body at schools everywhere in one fell swoop and brought them into his own personal army. Three months later, Raizo returned home to find a drastically changed academy, with a fanatic cult that worshipped Hyo as its master. It was hopeless for Raizo, who easily fell to Hyo's brainwashing. Hyo's ambition was nearly coming to perfect fruition; however, he had found yet one more obstacle. Word that Raizo's wife and son, long said to be dead, were still living had surfaced. With the blood of Raizo, the ninja's blood continuing the family line and thus being the rightful heir to Raizo's inheritance, this could pose trouble not even Hyo could handle. Hyo then decides to kidnap Raizo's wife Shizuku, so that he can lure his son, Batsu Ichimonji out of hiding and into his grasp.
Personality: This Akira is a docile, gentle girl that is the complete opposite of the rough and commanding helmeted biker. Her personality changes instantly when the helmet is removed or replaced…
Story: Because Akira's own brother, Daigo, has become one of the missing, Akira enters Gedo High. But after rescuing her brother, she returns to her original gentle persona.
Personality: A high school girl who trains all day and all night in the art of hand-to-hand fighting just so that she can meet "that person". She's always full of energy, cheerful, and unaffected; she can never settle down. She loves to give her body a good workout, but now she's in a street-fighting haze. Her fighting sense is a truly special, natural gift, and it seems the techniques she uses now are imitations of what she has seen in her endeavors.
Story: When she hears that her close friends (naturally, Hinata and Natsu) have gone off to fight some great evil, Sakura gets her hopes up, thinking, "Maybe there'll be strong people fighting there..." With that thought in mind, Sakura runs off to give her friends some support. "It'll be great training for when I meet 'him'," Sakura says; it doesn't seem her motives are quite as sincere as they should be...
Personality: He's harsh, but tender at heart, and prizes gang morals. He possesses magnetic charisma. He never fights unfairly (certainly, he doesn't condone two-on-one fights). Naturally, his thoughts are with his younger sister; his existence is one where a man of his standing usually falls.
Story: When the kidnappings perpetrated by Justice High had started, Daigo, aware of the worries that arose because of them, set out to face Justice High in search of the truth behind it all. There was no way that Daigo could have known that at that time, he was another one of Justice's targets.
Personality: Taiyou High's number one lady killer; as hot-blooded as his name implies. He developed his own sense of justice. Corporal punishment was also one of his own ideas. His students draw a ferocious, inescapable, unstoppable force from Hayato's own sense of justice.
Story: When his students at Taiyou were attacked, Hayato became suspicious of the elite academy, Justice High. He joins Batsu, Hinata, and Kyosuke in the fight, watching over them.

| Worst Subject: | N/A |
| Club: | N/A |
| Part-Time Job: | N/A |
Story: As Raizo had feared, as the effects of the Imawano family's special training methods had created many a top-notch talent at his academy (Justice) and the academy had gotten all the more famous, opposition from the Imawano family to the public release of the teaching methods Raizo had been the only child to inherit was high, and his life was targeted. In addition to this, just to drive the nail into the coffin, the Imawano clan pressured Raizo mentally because of their opposition to his plans to give his own child extra special education, usually reserved for gifted students. Because of this, Raizo hid himself from both his wife and very young son. However, Raizo was never free from his sadness. Afterward, he did nothing but keep on, for the sake of the academy. Gradually, his family's opposition came to an end, and one day, as Raizo was making his rounds at the academy, he noticed a student both scholarly and physically strong, with outstanding grades. His name was Hyo, and the students were well aware of his abilities and popularity. Since his wife and son have disappeared, Raizo, who forgot all about his plan of succession decided to groom Hyo mainly for the eventual inheritance. Because he had put so much work into the academy, Raizo's body was already beginning to lose its ability to overexert itself. Raizo was having thoughts of retiring after Hyo graduates, leaving the academy in Hyo's hands. In actuality, Hyo is an illegitimate child of the Imawano clan. He has, at the behest of some family members, planted the seeds of a secret mission: to "revive a group of assassins" and "rule Japan with terror and mayhem".

Story: Hyo uses his abilities, which surpass those of everyone else at Justice High, and his charisma as a weapon to turn all the academy's students into his own personal followers. One time, Raizo went overseas to inspect a high school at which he had planned to make a joint venture with Justice. Hyo used this opportunity to put a plan he had been warming up into motion. He brainwashed those of the best mind and body at schools everywhere in one fell swoop and brought them into his own personal army. Three months later, Raizo returned home to find a drastically changed academy, with a fanatic cult that worshipped Hyo as its master. It was hopeless for Raizo, who easily fell to Hyo's brainwashing. Hyo's ambition was nearly coming to perfect fruition; however, he had found yet one more obstacle. Word that Raizo's wife and son, long said to be dead, were still living had surfaced. With the blood of Raizo, the ninja's blood continuing the family line and thus being the rightful heir to Raizo's inheritance, this could pose trouble not even Hyo could handle. Hyo then decides to kidnap Raizo's wife Shizuku, so that he can lure his son, Batsu Ichimonji out of hiding and into his grasp.

2024.05.15 23:51 lightscamerasnaction Delta in-flight movies [March 2024]
I tried to write down every single movie available on my flights in March 2024. I handwrote some of my notes to pass the 13 hours which is why there are ??? when I couldn't read my own writing/abbreviations. Note that not all titles were available on all flights, and my list is missing a chunk of them (especially titles beginning with "S" for some reason). Hope someone finds it useful! Maybe someone will get to creating a Letterboxd list of them all before me! [Posted this in movies and thought delta users might find it useful too]

2024.05.10 01:24 PresentOk4332 i love the sacramento mandarins
Boy oh boy where do i even begin. Mandarins… honey, my pookie bear. I have loved you ever since I first laid eyes on you. The way you march onto the field and strike fear into your enemies eyes. Your silky smooth brass sound, and that gorgeous ballad. I would do anything for you. I wish it were possible to freeze time so I would never have to watch you age out. You had a rough childhood, but you never gave up hope. You are even amazing off the field, you're a great corps and organization, sometimes I even call you home. I forvever dread and weep, thinking of the day you will one day fold. I would sacrifice my own life it were the only thing that could put a gold medal on your beautiful neck. You have given me so much joy, and heartbreak over the years. I remember when you first left sacramento and its like my heart got broken into a million pieces. But a tear still fell from my right eye when I watched you make your first finals in indianapolis, because deep down, my glorious king deserved it. I just wanted you to return home. Then allas, you did, my sweet baby boy came home and I rejoiced. 2022 was a hard year for us baby, but in 2023 you made history happen. You came back from 10-6 and I couldn't believe it. I was crying, bawling even, and I heard my glorious king exclaim these words, "SACRAMENTO, THIS IS FOR YOU!" Not only have you changed the game of basketball and the world forever, but you've eternally changed my world. And now you're getting older, but still the goat, my goat. I love you pookie bear, my glorious king, The Sacramento Mandarins.☺️♥️🫶🏻

2024.05.05 17:54 ChefBoyardaddy The Ballad of Brunson
The Ballad of Brunson
Enigmatic ciphers in left-handed scrawls
Have come to the Garden, and Knicks basketball
Can never forget he who came to the City
And drew fouls and charges without pouts of pity.
Head down and dogged, he steadies the helm,
Heals orange and blue hearts long bereft in this realm,
Drills daggers and dazzles with footwork celestial,
Finds space like a homeward-bound extraterrestrial.
Wu Tang is his clan, the Mecca his temple,
The Nova boys fluid and keeping it simple
Yet never relenting, they're gritty as steel
That built up the city they've brought to their heel—
And he is their leader, undoubted tone-setter,
Lisan-al-Gaib couldn't do any better,
For he is the one who has watered the Garden,
Whom prophecies spoke of (KD? Kyrie? Harden?).
To think that his coming was greeted with ire
("Tis Mitchell of Salt Lake we truly desire!")
And that his whole life he has been counted out;
The tide now has turned. There is no more doubt.
PhiLLLLy, though feisty, could not pass his test
(Their seven-foot child gave his flagranty best),
For his will is indomitable, movements ineffable,
And these forty-point games are merely a pedestal
For the wide world to see what devotees have known
Since his Garden has flourished, its foliage grown:
That he is a sire sent from Basketball Heaven;
On his back rests New York, reading Brunson, eleven.

Cabin Fever
After the Hermes Cabin’s third consecutive win in the Fall 2038 season, several cabins set their sights on forming alliances that could finally bring them down.Notable factions include:
- Apollo x Muses also known as The Tortured Theater Kids Department
- Poseidon x Delphin also known as [Dolphin Noises]
- Hades x Oneiroi also known as Dead Tired

Winter Wonderlands
The Olympians graciously invited us into their homes for another winter solstice, hosting a festival that will be remembered for years to come.For the holiday season, the entirety of the mountain was set aglow in a bombastic display of Christmas lights, sounds, and colors. Visitors had the opportunity to engage in classic winter traditions, such as ice skating, caroling performances, and spending copious amounts of money in a marketplace.
As for attractions, the Muses dazzled in a Christmas rock concert, playing topical hits such as “All I Want For Christmas is Zeus,”* "Run Rudolph Run (Ceryneian Hind's Version)", and "Last Christmas." In competition, the nature gods reined in the raw power of the animals that occupy their domains, allowing all to appreciate their might in a polar petting zoo. I'm not qualified to declare a winner, but I will say that it was truly amazing to see what lengths the gods will go to when they care.
Amidst all the fanfare, many campers were also granted brief meetings with their godly parents. Some campers carefully condensed years of hope and fear and anger into a few conciliatory comments. Others sought advice, hoping for words of wisdom from sage parents who know them and their interests oh so well. Whether your questions were answered or not, we hope that everyone was able to learn something new from the experience. If not that, we hope the glimpse into the lavish lives of our godly leaders was valuable. It will be interesting to see what the gods will do next year.

Martial Madness
In parallel to winter in the mortal world, Camp Half-Blood entered an era of brackets andFrom our conversations with spectators and fighters, the audience was willing to believe that this could be anyone's game. There was no amount of natural talent that could not be countered with hard work, cleverness, or a little bit of luck.
And this held true. We watched kids with combat powers wash out in the very first round, and divinely quick-footed campers fail to toe the line when it came down to it. Seasoned fighters were surprised by newcomers with flashy transformations and literal flashes of light. Our fierce finalists and semi-finalists represented a distinct variety of talents and experiences, proving that heroes can come from anywhere.
There was a winner, of course. We all know who it was, so I don’t have to tell everyone again. It is more than clear that they rightfully deserve their triumph. Keep up your training, and we’ll see you all again at the next tournament.

Thanks For the Memories (Questers Return)
In our last Chronicle issue, we discussed the series of mysterious disappearances in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, initially investigated by a team of three campers (David Ruiz, Celestial Aria, and Ciara Daniels.) When they stopped communication with camp staff, Chiron sent out another questing trio (Kana Mizuno, Hugo Peñazola, and Quincy Rockford) on a rescue mission.On December 21 2038, we thankfully saw the return of all six campers. Through interviews with Hugo Peñazola and David Ruiz, we were able to obtain this information:
The quest-specific prophecy given to Kana, Hugo, and Quincy was, as follows:
Their souls are found lost, bound by loose handsCountless tragedies indeed fell on our campers, including but not limited to:
Set free what you find from the countless threads
Retreading these steps calls unwanted attention
Tragedy falls on you who seek unknown friends
- While taking a taxi between Hazleton and Foster’s Township, the team
bullied a poor defenseless owlencountered a Strix. - Our questers encountered a food truck, run by a blonde woman with a unique taste in food. The lady would later identify herself as Lady Melpomene, Muse of Tragedy.
- The questers spent weeks/months under her watch in the godly version of group therapy until meeting with Melpomene and two other goddesses: a young girl and a green-eyed goddess.
- The team made their escape and found the three missing questers in a nearby warehouse.
- They fought off a flock of angry chickens on their way out of the village.
++++
A Bedtime Story (In Need Within Dreams)
Our team was also able to get in contact with the questers who completed the dream quest last season. To reiterate, in late September Lady Artemis sent Teagan Castillo, Max McCallister, and Noah Stellan into the dream world of Hunter of Artemis Lieutenant Thalia Grace in order to wake her from a coma. We were able to get an exclusive interview with Teagan Castillo where he gave us all the details.- The questers were sent into a dream world with poppy flowers that they were instructed to crush when they were in need of assistance. In the dream, they immediately encountered former camper Luke Castellan, who was a friend of Thalia Grace before he died in the Second Titanomachy.
- While this began as a normal half-blood hill experience, they were able to notice a cloaked figure following them
- The questers followed the figure into the woods and he attacked them, eventually identifying himself as a doppelgänger of Luke Castellan.
- This version of Luke was well-aware that he was in a dream. Cloak Luke theorized that the dream existed as a form of wish fulfillment that was trapping Thalia. He was aware of his fate in the war, but had somehow ended up in the dream to accomplish an unknown mission. He tasked the questers with finding two Hunters, in order to destroy the false memories and wake Thalia up.
- Teagan found the Hunters, who identified themselves as now deceased Hunters Bianca and former lieutenant Zoe. They are actively hunting down Cloak Luke, who soon engages them in battle. The Hunters summoned large wolves to aid them.
- Teagan called upon fellow camper César Prado (child of Dionysus), who appeared in the dream to help the questers fight off the wolves. They were able to get rid of the dream versions of Zoe and Bianca.
- Cloak Luke brought them to their next opponent, a dream version of Jason Grace. Max crushed his poppy flower and called upon Matthew Knight, child of Hades to help them.
- Finally, the questers faced off against the dream versions of Thalia and Luke (labeled fLuke by Teagan to differentiate.) They used their last poppy flower to receive help from Eleanor Warren in ending the battle and helping Thalia wake up.
Advice Column
I've been at camp for a while now, and it sucks. Sometimes people talk to me, but I know it's only because they feel bad for me. How do I make some real friends here?
From, Anonymous
~~
Hello there, friend.
I'm sorry to hear that you've been having a hard time making friends. I can relate, as this is something I struggle with sometimes too, but I'll try my best to give my two cents on your problem.
For how to make real friends, well, Camp Half-Blood is certainly not lacking in opportunities to meet and bond with new people. Activities and lessons are, by far, the easiest way to find people that have something in common with you. So, participating in activities or lessons that align with your interests is my first bit of advice. It is not guaranteed that it'll always work, but it's a good starting point.
And also, I'll share one of the first bits of advice I got when I first arrived here: You shouldn't immediately assume the worst about people. Meeting new people can be scary, I know, but try to make yourself available to people and give them a chance, and you will find friends eventually as long as you are yourself.
I hope my insight has been useful to you and I'm wishing you good luck in your endeavors!

Seasonal Spotlight
Spring Weather Report
by Robert BridgerThe astronomical spring is yet to start, but the meteorological spring has already started. The 1st of March is what meteorologists around the world consider the start of spring, which is based on annual temperature cycles. A few days from now Zephyrus should take over from Boreas, which means we’re gonna see changes in temperature very soon.
March and the first half of April are infamous for their wide variety of weather phenomena. Expect some light snowfall, strong winds, rain showers, and a lot of sun. Animals will come out of hibernation to start families and certain types of birds will migrate back to do the same. In the second half of April and in May we usually see more changes in the weather. The sun will be out a lot and we’ll experience some early summer weather. So remember to put on sunscreen! Except if you’re a child of Notus, don’t you guys have immunity to the heat? Beware of pollen, they will be more common now that the flowers are blooming.
Fun Weather Fact of the Season: Ever wondered why it rains so much in spring? Well, the air gets warmer and warm air holds moisture better than cold air does.

Elias's Fun Facts
by Elias Carmody- Origins in Ancient Rome: Valentine's Day has its roots in the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia, which was celebrated in mid-February. It was a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture, as well as to the founders of Rome, Romulus, and Remus.
- St. Valentine: The day is named after St. Valentine, a Christian martyr who lived during the 3rd century AD. There are several legends surrounding St. Valentine, but one of the most popular is that he defied Emperor Claudius II's orders by secretly marrying couples to spare husbands from going to war.
- First Written Valentines: The oldest known Valentine's message is a poem written by Charles, Duke of Orleans, to his wife while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London in the early 15th century. It is currently housed in the British Library.
- Chaucer and Romantic Tradition: The association of Valentine's Day with romantic love gained momentum during the High Middle Ages, particularly through the works of Geoffrey Chaucer. In his poem "Parliament of Fowls," Chaucer linked the day with the mating season of birds, thus sparking the tradition of expressing love through romantic gestures.
- Valentine's Day Around the World: While Valentine's Day is widely celebrated, different cultures have unique customs. In Japan, it's customary for women to give chocolate to men on February 14th, while men reciprocate on March 14th, known as White Day. In South Korea, the 14th of each month has its own romantic significance, including Rose Day, Kiss Day, and Hug Day. How thoughtful of them.
- Spring Equinox and Ancient Beliefs: The spring equinox, around March 20th, marks the beginning of spring in the Northern Hemisphere. In many ancient cultures, this event was celebrated as a time of renewal and fertility. For example, in ancient Egypt, the spring equinox marked the time when the Nile River flooded, bringing fertile soil for agriculture.
- Spring Cleaning Tradition: The tradition of spring cleaning likely originated from various cultural practices aimed at purifying homes after the long winter months. In many cultures, thorough cleaning rituals were performed to sweep away bad luck and welcome the new season with a fresh start.
- Cultural Celebrations: Many cultures around the world have their own celebrations and festivals during the spring season. For example, the Hindu festival of Holi, known as the "Festival of Colors," marks the arrival of spring with vibrant colors and joyous celebrations. Or in Japan, the blooming of cherry blossoms (sakura) is a significant event marking the arrival of spring. The cherry blossom season is celebrated with hanami (flower-viewing) picnics and festivals, symbolizing the beauty and transience of life.
- Soon to Arrive Easter: The Christian holiday of Easter, which celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ, has connections to pagan fertility festivals, particularly the festival of Eostre. Eostre, or Ostara, was a Germanic goddess associated with spring, fertility, and the dawn. The symbolism of eggs and rabbits, representing fertility and new life, was incorporated into Easter celebrations, reflecting themes of rebirth and renewal. Over time, Easter became intertwined with both Christian and pagan traditions, blending religious observances with seasonal customs.
- Persephone's Return: In Greek mythology, the arrival of spring is linked to the story of Persephone, daughter of the harvest goddess Demeter. Persephone was abducted by Hades, the god of the underworld, and taken to the underworld. Demeter's grief caused the earth to become barren until Persephone's return, symbolizing the cycle of the seasons. When Persephone was allowed to return to the surface, it marked the beginning of spring and the earth's rejuvenation.
Campers Speak
QOTD: How many holes does a straw have?
by Harper Morales, with contributions from Amon AfifiDrinking straws (not to be confused with the training dummy innards) are tubular utensils used to consume beverages. Made of plastic, metal, silicone, and sometimes biodegradable materials, straws occupy a constant presence in our daily routines as we wake, eat, destroy training dummies, sleep, and repeat.
Today, we illuminate the humble straw, putting the instrument on a pedestal as we demigods debate what it means to be holey. Let's take a look at the poll results.
With 17 out of 21 votes, Camp Half-Blood has emphatically declared that a straw has only one hole.
Vote Breakdown| Option | Number of Votes | Percentage |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Hole | 17 | 81% |
| 2 Holes | 3 | 14.3% |
| 0 Holes | 1 | 4.8% |
For a change of format, let’s examine why this answer was so popular.
Some campers pointed to existing mathematical definitions of a hole in order to justify their vote:
Topologically speaking, a straw is a hole that has 2 openings and anyone who says otherwise is a moron with an IQ comparable to the number of holes in a straw.
This is not even a question. The straw comprises a single continuous surface with no internal partitions or disconnected regions. The concept of 'holes' clearly pertains to the number of disconnected components within a surface. The straw therefore must have only one hole to maintain its fundamental topological nature. I find this to be quite obvious.It’s hard to say if the numerous mathematicians who dedicated decades to developing rigorous proofs and theories would agree about the lack of complexity, but let’s take a look. Topology is an area of geometry focusing on the consistent characteristics of shapes and spaces when deformed, and their definitions of holes date back only a few centuries. In the grand scheme of gods and mortals, this information is new to us all.
BernHard Riemann counted holes by examining how often a shape could be cut through boundaries/openings or completely through a surface without being divided into multiple pieces. Notably, this would exclude hollow 3D shapes with no openings, such as a hollow sphere. More modern definitions became more expansive. Today, topologists count the number of distinct holes (also known as disconnectivities) that would prevent a theoretical shape from shrinking to a single point on a graph. Objects with one hole include straws, tunnels, donuts, and fully enclosed hollow spaces.
Though this camper does not explicitly reference topology, it relies upon similar lines of logic:
Every hole necessarily has two sides or entrances, otherwise it is a dent. The confusion in regards to straws is solely caused by their lengthIn ordinary language, however, there are many dents that might receive the esteemed label of hole, especially those that occur in dirt, sand, or rock. Most campers who voted for One Hole created non-topological definitions that would be inclusive of these dents. To support their arguments, they often chose to stab various hypothetical objects in order to prove their point.
From Ellie Kerwin:
It's one...one hole with two points of entry. If I stab you in the heart with my sword and it goes through clean, you wouldn't say you have two holes in your heart.From an anonymous camper:
It is just one continuous hole. If swiss cheese had one hole all the way through it, you'd say it had only one hole.These answers seem to point to a hole as an enclosed or partially enclosed empty space. Through this answer, you might be able to argue that a cup, a bowl, an anthill, or a room in a house all contain only one hole.
Zero Holes
The following answers consider not only the shape of the object, but its composition, function, and material.
A hole is an entry or indent to another object. Unless you break a straw, it's not to ANOTHER object. Ergo no holesThis definition might include a hole in a grassy lawn that leads to plain dirt, or a door that leads from one room to another. Straws tend to be partially submerged in liquid, so I might wonder if this definition is location-dependent.
Two Holes
Is the hole in the straw, or is it within the straw? Two-hole definitions focus, as many have argued already, on openings, not empty space. We see the word hole used in this context when talking about rips in clothing, or holes in buckets or boats. These definitions tend to focus less on the shape and more on the ability of an object to contain a different substance, such as water and air. Holes are breaks or openings in an outer surface (such as in a plastic straw) through which another substance might enter or exit.
From Adrian Carmody:
They're two holes. Sure, they are technically connected, but they're still two holes regardless!From an anonymous camper:
It just does. One hole outta one end, one outta the other. How else do ya drink?Other Answers
A similar line of thought claims that a straw is merely a series of openings.
A straw is an infinite number of holes stacked on top of each otherThis definition might allow us to conclude every shape with some sort of cavity or hollow enclosure contains infinities of holes, though some infinities are greater than others. Some might consider this to be the fault in our straws.
In the end, our real question is: what is your definition of a hole? What shapes or objects does your definition include, and what does it exclude? Does this change the way you communicate your ideas regarding holes or other 3D geometric shapes to others? Feel free to continue this debate with your friends, or show up at a Chronicle meeting and talk to us about it!
Thank you to everyone who contributed! We’ll be back next season with another yes or no question.
Also, we never heard back from Lady Demeter about the cereal, but that won't stop us from continuing our search for the truth. If any of you know the god of straws or the god of holes, please let us know their favorite food offerings.

 | Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors VS CSU Fullerton Titans on 2024-02-01 22:00:00-05:00 submitted by GPTSportsWriter to GPTSportsWriter [link] [comments] The Epic Clash: Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors vs. CSU Fullerton TitansIn a world where basketball often mirrors the epic tales of yore, the upcoming clash between the Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors and the CSU Fullerton Titans on February 1, 2024, at 10:00 PM ET, promises to be a saga written in sweat, strategy, and sheer willpower. The stage is set at the Titan Gym, a coliseum where heroes are made, and legends are born, or so the local bard's latest ballad goes.The Hawai'i Rainbow Warriors, with a record of 11-10 and a Big West conference standing of 3-6, are set to embark on a quest to break their three-game road losing streak. Their adversaries, the CSU Fullerton Titans, also stand at 11-10 but boast a slightly better conference record of 4-5. This match is not just a game; it's a battle for honor, pride, and a chance to climb the Big West standings. The Rainbow Warriors come off a morale-boosting 83-73 victory against the Cal Poly Mustangs, with Noel Coleman leading the charge with a 23-point game. Meanwhile, the Titans, fresh from a 68-50 triumph over CSU Bakersfield, have shown they're not to be underestimated, with Dominic Brewton and Tory San Antonio proving to be formidable forces on the court. But let's talk numbers, shall we? The odds, those fickle deities of fate, have placed CSU Fullerton as a slight 1.5-point favorite against Hawai'i. In the realm of college basketball, where the underdog win percentage hovers around the mystical 30% mark, this promises a clash tighter than a gnome's purse strings at a dwarven ale sale. Weather, that ever-present specter in the world of outdoor sports, holds no sway in the hallowed halls of Titan Gym. However, one cannot ignore the climate of Honolulu in February — a balmy paradise that could either lend the Rainbow Warriors a relaxed demeanor or see them pining for the beaches back home. Now, to the prophecy — who shall emerge victorious? If the odds are our oracle, then the Titans, with their slight edge and home-court advantage, might just have the favor of the gods. But as any seasoned seer will tell you, the heart of a warrior and the bounce of an unpredictable ball can turn tides faster than you can say "double dribble." In conclusion, while the Titans may have the edge, the Rainbow Warriors' spirit and recent performance suggest a battle that could go either way. My prediction? A nail-biter that ends in a narrow victory for the Titans, though the Rainbow Warriors will fight valiantly, proving once again that in the great game of basketball, anything is possible. And so, dear readers, as the sun sets on February 1st, let us all tune in to witness this epic saga unfold. May the best team win, and may the bards sing tales of this battle for ages to come.

=> Ratings: PV: 4*, Band: 4*, Crowd: Decent.
PV Note: Big balls, fooling around with a polaroid camera, painting, typewriting, playing with the letters, reading (for 2 seconds), sleeping, dodgeball (or just being hit by a bunch of balls), then video games (car racing), small balls, and then the legendary "I don't know how to open a champagne" fumble. However, if you watch this 2009 version, you may think that it only took her 1 try, when in reality, it was 3. Nice editing! Then it's drumming, volleyball, and ends with the painting. These fooleries will be updated in the future. Yikes => Ratings: PV: 4.75*, Band: 3.75*, Crowd: Decent.

Not so fun fact: Park This scene popped up at around 1:46:31, for about 10 seconds. I've seen this before; however, I always thought that she was jogging in a park somewhere around her apartment in Tokyo, or at least somewhere in Japan. But to my surprise, the scene was apparently filmed in...Los Angeles. So, one more extra place for me to visit in the future, a place that I couldn't even find on Zard Lab... => Ratings: PV: 4.75*, Band: 4.25*, Crowd: Good.

Overall, other the stoopid decision to make My Baby Grand a 1-minute song, the show was an amazing experience. A lot of new songs were added, and existing songs were given new leaves to further embellish their PVs. Let me know your thoughts down below! Also don't forget to participate in the minigame! This time it's way harder to correctly guess all 5 of the songs, so がんばって! |
