“And for the missing person reports that date back many years, police still have not found any leads to the odd disappearance of multiple people around our little town of Welks, Utah. If police find any new leads, I, Nathan White, will be the first to give you the news.” Nathan White is a small town reporter who is finishing up his final words of the day's news. Charlie Akins, Nathan’s colleague and long time friend is manning the camera. Nathan is your typical guy who never gives up and has the determination of a beaver building its dam. He will take any story he is given and will do his best to make it the best. Charlie on the other hand is about as outgoing as a sloth and so paranoid he can’t go anywhere without thinking the worst, but will never leave his friend’s side. Soon after the two wrap up, Charlie gets a call from their boss who claims to have a new story they could cover. Nathan places their gear in the news van as Charlie walks over. With the way Charlie nervously walks over, Nathan knows something is odd. “So what’s the deal? We got a story or what?” Charlie gets in the driver seat of the van without saying a word and Nathan quickly follows, getting into the passenger seat. As Charlie begins driving, he tells Nathan what their boss had spoken to him about. An old abandoned government facility sits out in the farthest outskirts of the town. It’s in the shape of a dome that’s large enough to house an entire town. There’s no records of anyone ever entering the facility since the 50’s and no one seems to know what it was for. Only thing anyone knows, or suspects, is that it may be cursed or haunted as people who have ever been near it claim to hear screams and voices coming from within. Charlie is hesitant of even the thought of covering the story but continues to drive assuming Nathan will be intrigued. Charlie was correct, of course, as Nathan quickly calls their boss to inform him that they’re checking it out. Without question, Charlie continues driving until they are so far out that Welks is completely out of sight in the rearview mirror. They eventually see a large structure in the distance that they quickly realize is the center of their new story. “Holy shit, Charlie! I’ve never seen this place before and just… Wow,” Nathan says excitedly. “Nathan, I don’t know about this one. Something seems off. Even the boss seemed hesitant to tell me about this place,” Charlie responds. “Come on, Charlie. We’ve always wanted to cover a GHOST STORY.” “No, YOU have always wanted to cover a ghost story. I’ve always wanted to get the hell away from every single person I come in contact with and sleep in my bed.” “Don’t do me like that.” “You know I’ve got your back through thick and thin, Nate. But I’ve seriously got a bad feeling about this one.” “I know but come on, serious-... ly…” Nathan is awestruck by the sight of a large sign on the outer brink of a long driveway leading to the entrance of the dome. The sign reads:
RESTRICTED AREA
ENVIRODOME “WE EXPERIMENT FOR THE SAFETY OF OUR PEOPLE”
SPECIAL ACCESS IS NEEDED BEYOND THIS POINT
Although it was obvious by the city-sized dome in the middle of the desert, this sign fully confirmed they were in the right place. They continue down the driveway until they finally reach a parking lot that lies in front of the only noticeably cube-like design of the entire facility. The parking lot was small, or at least it seemed that way based on how huge the building was. Nathan and Charlie assumed it would be glass, but instead, the decrepit building, now known to be The Envirodome, was made of a strong thick, yet rusted metal. They realized this was most likely by design considering the people who created it wouldn’t have wanted anyone to know what went on inside. Almost the entire building was covered in a thick layer of vines except for the front door. The doors at the entrance were oddly only covered in smaller vine growth that was far more fragile than the rest. Charlie parks the van as an awestruck Nathan barely waits for him to stop and exits the passenger side. Charlie hesitantly follows suit. Nathan reaches the double entrance doors and rips away the vines. He quickly finds the handle of the right door and much to his surprise, it cracks open. “Ooh spooky,” Nathan jokingly says to Charlie. “Shut up,” Charlie snaps back. As Nathan and Charlie open the large metal door and walk inside, they find far more than, yet somehow everything, they had expected. The duo walk inside only to find an entire small community within. Businesses, homes, trees and more fill the miles long dome in all directions, seemingly to no end. “There’s a whole damn town in this place?! How the hell did not a single person know this existed,” Charlie exclaims out of pure shock. “Dude… How the fuck am I suppose to know? That’s why we’re here, remember? To cover the story of this place and get it out to the people…” Nathan sarcastically snaps back. Charlie, nervous as all hell, ignores Nathan as they continue forward in the hopes to find information on this place somewhere inside. They don’t even reach but about 10-15 feet inside before the door slams shut behind them and locks itself into place. Once fully locked, the doors start to change as if there was never a door or wall there at all. It quickly changes into a hyper-realistic hologram of more trees and roads. Soon enough, it looked as if an exit never even existed. Nathan quickly realizes that there seemingly are no walls in any direction. However, realistically and logically, there must be dead ends in all directions, the dome was obviously designed in a special way. Although there was a dome surrounding the town inside, there were still plenty of places Nathan and Charlie could explore. With beautifully green trees all around, houses and even rundown businesses, the entire place looked and felt like a normal little town instead of the inside of a previously government owned facility. Despite absolutely not a single structural flaw in the dome, a small breeze glides through the air, whistling to the ears of any who would listen. Both Nathan and Charlie are confused, yet in awe, by the experience at hand, but still they carry on. Nathan suggests going to the nearest building to search for information as he takes his next steps into the oddly beautiful scenery. Charlie, however, hesitates his next step until he realizes Nathan is already further ahead of him. Trees dance and sway in the cool breeze, grass and vines grow over large rocks and multiple buildings, and even clouds sail through the beautifully blue skies that couldn’t possibly be real but at this point it’s not unbelievable. With so much to admire, Nathan quickly loses focus on the task at hand until Charlie speaks up. “Hey, Nate. Shouldn’t we hurry up and get to wherever the hell we’re going?” “Huh? Oh… Yeah, yeah. Sorry…” Nathan snaps back to his senses and continues forward. As they continue to what seems like a small neighborhood, they notice something in the distant wooded area. It’s a four-legged creature that could be a wolf or coyote. Nathan and Charlie pick up speed as they are unsure of what it could really be and prefer not to be attacked. On arrival to the neighborhood, the two men notice that multiple mannequins are oddly placed around as if they had been living a life. An eerie feeling washes over them as they both become a little more skeptical of being there. Nathan looks back to check on his friend and notices Charlie is visibly paranoid as he looks around. He feels a moment of guilt for making him come here for a story to cover, but that moment was just that. A moment. Nathan quickly nudges Charlie to get him to come with him as he walks up to an open house. As they walk in, they split up. Charlie searches the living room and kitchen. Nathan goes straight to the farthest bedroom in the back. Searching every nook and cranny, Nathan finds absolutely nothing but an old withered bible. He begins to walk into another room when suddenly, Charlie’s voice echoes through the empty hallway. “Holy fuck,” Charlie exclaims. “What’s wrong,” Nathan yells while running into the living room. Nathan finds Charlie holding an old yellowed stack of papers. Charlie hands them to Nathan without uttering a single word. On top is an old document that reads:
Aug. 17, 1953: Testing is ready to commence for Project 718/Operation “SUPER” in the environment dome. However, there are no volunteers for testing just yet.
Aug. 18, 1953: Chief scientist, Dr. Maximus Woods, has volunteered as prime subject under the name: Subject Zero. All tests are now being prepared.
Aug. 20, 1953: Day 1 of testing has started. The Super Serum has been injected into Dr. Maximus Woods A.K.A Subject Zero at approximately 12:53 A.M. It has been hours and nothing has happened thus far.
Aug. 25, 1953: Subject Zero has gained a slight form of telekinesis. Small signs of abnormally quick healing factors have also appeared, taking only a couple of hours to fully heal mid-large wounds made on the subject's body. Tests, so far, seem to be successful with no side effects.
Aug. 30, 1953: Subject Zero has had impressive changes with easy to control telekinesis, rapid healing, and even large amounts of strength.
Sep. 5, 1953: Over the past week, Subject Zero has been undergoing small changes in personality, possibly a slight side effect of the serum. This will be monitored.
Sep. 10, 1953: Subject Zero has become rapidly unstable, showing major signs of insanity. Subject does not seem to realize the environment is simulated and treats test mannequins placed around the environment dome as if they were living beings.
Sep. 17, 1953: Multiple teams have been sent in to try and allow real communication with living beings. However, all teams have been killed by Subject Zero. He also does not allow anyone to retrieve the bodies and it is unclear what he does with them.
Oct. 3, 1953: Subject has become far too unstable to continue any further testing. All research will be abandoned but a small team will remain in the overseer’s office. For full safety measures, this team has agreed that if the facility must be destroyed then they will die with it. This was the intended way in case of emergency. If the facility is self-destructed, no one inside will survive.
“What the hell…” Nathan says fearfully. “Read the newspaper article that’s attached,” says Charlie. The newspaper article reads:
October 3, 1953 Today, the government-run facility, Envirodome, had been shut down after multiple men had been slaughtered at the hands of the company’s very own test subject, Subject Zero. The few men who made it out alive today could not speak of or about the tests done but we were told that their subject is still inside the facility. Test Subject Zero was locked inside only as a safety protocol but many wonder, how long will he remain there?
Upon this discovery, Nathan stops to think and wonders if he screwed up by taking on this story to cover. Nathan, being himself, tries to lighten the mood but before uttering a single word, he is cut off by a rough and deep voice in the distance. The voice now being the only thing to focus on, Nathan and Charlie look out the front windows of the old house and spot the figure of a man playing baseball with a mannequin. Upon further inspection, the man is wearing clothes obviously not of this era. With an old 50’s jacket that is nearly torn to shreds, an old pair of blue jean slacks, a red shoe on one foot and a black one on the other and hair that clearly hasn’t been washed in years, the man is the exact look and description of pure insanity. Not just with his looks but also with his actions, he clearly is not a stable man. In the yard of the next house over, the man is talking and playing catch with a mannequin. “For the last time Jimmy, I’m tired of your shit! Catch the damn ball or at the very least attempt to instead of just standing there,” the crazed man screams as he chucks a baseball at its head resulting in its immediate decapitation. Nathan, with a humor full of bad timing, nearly bursts into laughter. “Shut the fuck up, Nathan! That’s the guy from the document and newspaper article. He’s Dr… Uh… Maximus Woods! Subject Zero! He’s been here since the 50’s,” Charlie fearfully exclaims. “There’s no way in hell, Charlie. The guy doesn’t even look like he’s past his mid-30’s.” “I told you to call me Subject Zero! That old name is dead to me!” The man, now confirmed to be Subject Zero, yells out to another mannequin. “Believe me now, asshat,” Charlie snaps at Nathan. “Shush! What was that?” Subject Zero quickly snaps his attention to Nathan and Charlie’s direction and begins to walk to them. The two men look at each other in fearful confusion and simultaneously say, “oh shit.” Instinctually, Charlie runs out of the house from fear and with a quick, “FUCK!” Nathan follows him. Running out of the house like a couple of preyed upon animals, they run up the street further into the neighborhood. Taking a quick glance, Nathan spots a strange sight. Subject Zero and many other figures are chasing after them. Upon further examination, Nathan realizes that what he’s witnessing is something straight out of a horror movie. The other figures are , in fact, not even humans. They’re mannequins! All the mannequins they had seen back at the other houses are now moving like humans and coming right for them alongside Subject Zero. Nathan is running so fast you could mistake him for a train breaking loose from its tracks, but sadly, Charlie is slowing down, unable to keep up with his friend. Nathan manages to reach a hiding spot behind a dumpster, unintentionally leaving Charlie to await his own horrors as Nathan is nothing but forced to watch. Charlie begins to stumble and trips over his own feet. Soon after, the mannequins catch up to him. Nathan wants to help, but knows he can’t so all he does is watch in horror. Lying on the ground, Charlie gasps for air as the mannequins and Subject Zero surround him. They stare at him for a moment before eventually beating him simultaneously until Charlie is soaked in his own blood, barely alive. Suddenly, they stop. Charlie, nearly lifeless, drags his gaze in Nathan’s direction. He mouths, “GO” before coughing up blood. Nathan holds back tears and vomit as he looks away in guilt. All the mannequins that were once beating the life out of Charlie turn around and scatter before ultimately becoming, once again, inanimate objects. Like a lion searching for its prey, Subject Zero scans the area. With danger nearby, Nathan looks around to find a house with any open doors to attempt to find safety. He spots a nearby house with an open window and decides it's his best option. Without hesitation, Nathan sprints to the window and leaps in like a gazelle escaping its demise. Much to his surprise, he went unnoticed. “I might be insane, but I know I wasn't just seeing double of your little friend here. Where the hell are you,” screams Subject Zero as two mannequins carry Charlie's bloodied, yet still alive, body away. Nathan, afraid, yet determined, locks himself inside the house and sits behind a kitchen counter. He looks up to see if it's safe enough to search the house. Once he realizes it is, he begins to look around. The kitchen is oddly empty. Not a single piece of silverware, plate or food. Out of the entire house, the living room is the best looking part, even though it still looks like a tornado came through it. With hopes of finding something, Nathan scrummages through everything lying on the decrepit wooden floor. After a moment of searching, Nathan notices multiple papers scattered around all dated October of 1953. All the papers say different things about Project ‘SUPER’ and Subject Zero. Although most papers essentially say the same things, one paper stands out the most. It’s a newspaper dated a few days after the imminent shutdown of the facility. October 9, 1953 The project was abandoned and only a few escaped but one former employee of Envirodome decides to speak up about the events. “The main doors may have been closed but they sadly were not locked,” the scientist tells our interviewer, “Oddly, the doors were made to allow people in but not back out unless you went to the overseer’s office and unlocked the main doors. All this means, anyone who decides to go inside without knowing this info will be trapped forever with a psycho maniac. Fortunately, Subject Zero’s insanity affected his mind so badly he doesn’t even realize he’s in a fake little world that’s specially made for him.”
A little further down the same newspaper article it reads:
The former Envirodome employee continues. “All documents will state that Dr. Maximus Woods volunteered to be Subject Zero, but that just isn’t true. We tricked him. You see, we needed someone and Dr. Woods was just this weird scientist that no one really liked. We convinced him that if he volunteered that he would be a hero. Someone who could save our world if the serum worked. He was so happy and we just laughed at him but knew we needed him for the tests. As soon as everything began, it all ended. As he became more and more deranged, he also became more determined to make the serum work. He eventually took living people he kept with him and made his own serum to try and perfect it. But it never worked. It just leads to each person to become crazier and far quicker. He ended up just killing everyone that the serum didn’t work on. God knows what he does to any poor soul that innocently walks into that building and gets trapped.”
With this new knowledge, Nathan knew he fucked up by coming into this beautiful hell. Now filled with dreaded emotions, he gets onto his feet and sets onward through the hallway. As he reaches the beginning of the hallway, the front door is unexpectedly busted down by an already all too familiar figure, Subject Zero. Reacting quickly, Nathan sprints to the farthest back room of the house. Being the master bedroom, it has plenty of space but sadly doesn’t have a lock on the door. Thinking quickly, Nathan slams the door and nervously shoves a large stand up dresser down on its side and in front of the doorway. He knows it won’t hold for long, especially considering, just a mere seconds ago, he witnessed Subject Zero burst a door off its hinges in the blink of an eye. Subject Zero is on the hunt, looking in every room all while Nathan stands in the master bedroom freaking out. Eventually, he comes to his senses and looks out the room's only window. It’s quite a drop below due to the house sitting on a slanted yard. Without hesitation, Nathan prepares himself for his only option. He opens the window and prepares to jump as the door of the room begins to be beaten upon. The door eventually breaks in half and standing on the other side is Subject Zero. Nathan slings himself out the window but it inevitably leads to pain. Nathan, with a possibly broken ankle, stands against the wall to stay as Subject Zero looks through the window wondering how he could lose his only entertainment so easily. Subject Zero eventually angrily wanders off as he cusses at himself. Nathan takes that as his cue to stumble his way into the nearby forest. Nathan manages to make it a decent distance into the forest before stumbling and falling next to a large oak tree. Expecting to be free from danger for at least a while, he relaxes against the tree and closes his eyes. Far too early for assumptions, he hears something and quickly opens his eyes to see Subject Zero’s fist unexpectedly rushing to his face, resulting in a knockout. After a while, Nathan cracks his eyes open, barely able to see. He looks around in a trance until he hears a familiar voice. “Hey, Nate! Nate! Wake the fuck up! I’m not dead!” Nathan fully comes to and looks over to see an upside down Charlie. Confused, he looks at Charlie unsure of what to say. Eventually he speaks. “What the fuck…? Why the hell are you upside down?” Charlie points to Nathan’s feet, revealing he is in fact, the one upside down hanging by his feet. “Oh, fuck… WHAT THE FUCK?!? Get me down, you asshole!” Charlie unties the rope, leading to Nathan falling on his head. Rubbing his head, Nathan gets up with ease, which leads him to wonder why there’s no pain in his ankle. He quickly shrugs it off and looks back at Charlie as he finally realizes the situation. “Wait a damn minute, how the hell are you alive? I saw you get beaten to a pulp.” “Yeahhhh… Well, first off, thanks for leaving me, but I’ll tell you everything I know, just as they did for me.” Charlie points over to a small crowd of people waiting behind the dark shadows of the room. With a short, yet detailed, briefing, he tells Nathan that these people are all the missing people they’ve been reporting about. They all have been curious people who have wandered into the facility but inevitably became a morbid science experiment by Subject Zero. Charlie continues on to tell Nathan that every single one of these people have been injected with a similar serum as Subject Zero but each one is a slightly altered version. “So, let me get this straight… These people have all been injected with the same damn insanity poison as that madman and there’s absolutely no telling who could lose it and kill us with FUCKING TELEKINISIS!” “Yeah, pretty much. But I’ve been told that Subject Zero murders every failed attempt before they hurt any of his other precious test subjects. So far, all he’s done is prolong the insanity effects.” “Charlie, we have to somehow get the fuck out of here.” “We can’t. Do you not understand what I just said?” “Look, I get that these people are innocent but they’re obviously going to be massive dangers to humanity. We can get out of here. I don’t know how but… Somehow!” “Nate! I can’t get out of here.” “What the fuck are you talking about?” Charlie raises up his arm and reveals a small pinprick of a needle in his skin. “Charlie, what is that? No… Wait, you were injected too?” “Yeah.” “FUCK!” “Look, as far as I’m concerned, you haven’t been injected. There’s no needle mark in your skin. YOU could actually get out of here.” “I’m not leaving you behind again, Charlie! It was a nightmare seeing what they did to you the first time.” “Nathan, I -” Suddenly and very unexpectedly, one of the people in the crowd begins to scream from within the shadows. Nathan, confused and afraid, looks over at the man losing his sanity. Within seconds, the man stops screaming as the entire room falls into a deafening silence. The man looks in Nathan’s direction and shines a demonic grin with a stare that could pierce the soul of any mortal man. Knowing the man is coming toward him, Nathan slowly starts backing up against the cold concrete walls. The man, with all new senses, uses his new telekinetic ability to push others from the crowd aside. Charlie, being brave for the first and possibly final time in his life, attempts to stand in the way but is quickly subdued as he’s flung against the wall. Finally reaching Nathan, the man brings his gaze into a full on stare into Nathan’s soul. For Nathan, it’s as if death has come for him. Suddenly, the man’s gaze is ripped away by a familiar face of evil. Subject Zero heard the screams and came to claim his failed experiment. This led to an all-out brawl between the two men. Anyone would describe it in the same way you would if two rabid dogs were fighting over food. One dog gets up after being ripped open and the other gets its face gashed by a hard hitting blow, yet they still fight. Only difference between the two, one is just a dog wanting its food and the other is trained to kill. Suddenly, with a vicious blow, Subject Zero wins the fight when he takes the man’s head and slams it so hard into the concrete floor that his skull cracks open causing blood, brains, and skull fragments to fly over the silent crowd. With one final glance, Subject Zero looks over the entire crowd. He ends his gaze by making sure Nathan is the last to see his devilish eyes. Soon after, he leaves the room and locks the door. Nathan stares at the corpse lying on the ground with a look of pure terror and proceeds to collapse onto the floor while holding back tears. The small concrete room soon fills with despair as everyone watches the tears of pain and fear run down Nathan’s face. Charlie tries to make his long-time friend feel a little more hopeful, although he soon gives up as well until he has a moment of realization. He remembers back to when they first were searching for information he had found an article with some intriguing details. “Okay, so, there may be some hope after all.” “Charlie, what hope is there? Huh?! You’re pretty much fucked and I don’t exactly see a way out of here.” “One of the articles back at the house we were in said something about a self-destruct button. That’s also how you open the main doors. Apparently, no one ever bothered, or I guess, never got the chance to hit the self-destruct timer and run their asses to the door. What if we- I mean, YOU could actually do that?” “Charlie, I already told you I don’t want to leave you behind.” “GOD DAMN IT, NATHAN! I know… FUCK! I know. But I want you to survive. Can’t you just listen to me for once?! I would follow you through hell and back and it kind of feels that way right now. So? Can you just listen to what I want you to do for once while I’m practically on my deathbed?!” “Okay! Okay…” Suddenly, an unexpected chance of escape arrives at their feet. Subject Zero and a few of his mannequins walk in to remove the mutilated corpse from the room. Unexpectedly, one of the people in the crowd begins to scream out in pain just like the other man did moments ago before his demise. “Oh, great…” Subject Zero says irritatedly. Soon after, multiple others begin to scream out in pain until eventually the entire crowd follows suit. Nathan, and somehow Charlie have not been affected. The room quickly becomes engulfed in a hurricane of insanity. This leads Subject Zero and the mannequins to getting distracted by the madness and accidentally leaves the door open. Subject Zero quickly gets attacked by everyone in the room but he holds his ground firmly. Nathan knows this is the perfect chance to escape and signals Charlie to come with him. Charlie hesitantly comes along but right as they reach the door Nathan turns to hear the sounds of Charlie going through the worst pain of his life. Nathan looks in confusion but quickly realizes he’s about to have to accept his friend’s fate. Nathan refuses to accept it, but he knows he needs to. Charlie suddenly lunges at Nathan and uses his last act of sanity and control to push him out the door. “Get. To the button. Please.” “Charlie, I- I’m-” “I’m sorry…” Charlie finally snaps and is engulfed in pure raging insanity. He lunges at Nathan but before he reaches him, Nathan, with teary eyes, slams the door onto his friend, turns, and begins running out into the seemingly vast wilderness. As he runs, Nathan hears the cries of a dozen men and women as they get ripped apart. Knowing that among them is his best friend, Nathan begins to cry as he continues to run away from his previous hell.
End of Part 1.

2024.06.09 23:38 History_Geek123 Virginia Awakes Peacock-Shah Alternate Elections

Virginia Awakes Peacock-Shah Alternate Elections
The coal towns of Appalachia, usually silent on the early morning hours of Christmas Day, were buzzing with activity. The roar of car and bus engines, the shrill whistles of trains, the shouts of men as they ran, and the sounds of guns being loaded all came together to as the deadliest group of carolers came together with one purpose, to make haste to DC to stop the Blackshirts. After years of victories for the enemies of the working man, years of them being one step ahead of the free unions, they would now be the ones to ready for action first. Armed with pickaxes, hunting rifles, shotguns, and even some machine guns and other military grade equipment from secret stashes throughout the mountains, the union minutemen would spend their Christmas mornings, not sleeping at home with their families, but on road and rail, rushing to beat the Blackshirts to the Capital. Leading one of the vanguard militias would be a stern, 25-year-old gas station owner from the little town of Monongah, “Big Nick” Saban, a Navy veteran who had taken his no-nonsense attitude and coaching abilities to put together one of the best militias in Western Virginia. It would be no coincidence that his group would be passing through towns as their own militias were still trying to get on the move. Indeed, this crack group of men were prepared to live, and if necessary, die, by one of their leader’s favorite sayings: “Do what you're supposed to do, the way you're supposed to do it, when you're supposed to do it, the way it's supposed to get done.”
Miner Convoy Departing for DC

Meanwhile in Richmond, a very different type of resistance would also be mobilizing. Instead of roughnecked men armed with a hodgepodge of weapons, uniformly clothed and armed National Guardsmen and State Police would be getting roused from their beds by order of Governor Mills Goodwin, himself woken up after news of the President’s condition began to spread. He knew that there would not be much time, so he would order State Police to begin shutting down the highways heading north to DC, to prevent Blackshirt reinforcements from reaching the Capitol. He would also send National Guardsmen stationed closer to the Capital to go there and aid any “legitimate authorities” in quelling any attempted “insurrection,” while other Guardsmen that were deemed to be too far away to make it to DC in a reasonable amount of time would be ordered to help the State Police. Gov. Goodwin would also call Senator Benjamin Muse, a veteran of two wars, warning him about possible Blackshirt violence and telling him to, if possible, gather up as many other pro-Constitution Congressmen & other people who have weapons on hand and make haste to the Capitol Building & barricade the doors there, with promises of Virginia National Guard to come and reinforce them. When asked by the Adjutant General of the Guard on what to do about the rush of Appalachian militiamen towards DC, the Governor would reply, “Just keep an eye on them, they are on our side.”
Virginia Police Forming a Roadblock on a Backroad Near the Outskirts of DC

On the west side of the Potomac River, some lonely veterans in bars, late night partiers, and churchgoers on their way home from evening services would hear former President Charles Lindbergh’s midnight radio address, and they would answer the call. Carolers would go from heralding the birth of Jesus to singing patriotic hymns as both men and women would begin to join growing throngs of people as they walked through the streets of Alexandria, marching hand in hand to rally for peace and democracy, hoping that their numbers would continue to swell and that through sheer numbers alone they would be able to obstruct the efforts of those who would seek to end the American Dream. As both the sounds of prayer and The Battle Hymn of the Republic would wake more people up, as the clock would show that it was still an early morning, time was running out on American democracy, and only God knew how Christmas 1952 would end.
As the sun begins to rise over DC, who will win the battle for America's soul?

2024.06.09 23:36 Ok_Shirt_1574 What if Gabby and Fiore never swapped teams Part 1

Episode 1: When the votes for the fake double elimination are read, Derek and Trevor announce that this was a fake elimination to show that first impressions are important but doesn’t swap Gabby and Fiore. I imagine the Teal team would end up winning invincibility thanks to Fiore(who gives Grett the credit for the fake flag) but I think Will and Ashley would probably at least talk things out with Gabby when they notice how upset she is and explain they were just concerned about what she said to Nick which she’s understanding about.
Episode 2: Alec and Ellie invite Gabby into their outcast alliance which she eagerly accepts since she doesn’t feel like she belongs on the team that well. As for Fiore, I think she’d probably interact the most with Grett so she’d carry the log with her. I doubt she’ll find the totem since Grett would probably forbid her to. For the sake of simplicity, I’ll say Gabby still finds it somehow. I think Will still has his freak out but since Ellie and Gabby would prefer to go together, Alec has to deal with it this time in which the two will likely get nowhere because of it.
Because of this, Purple Team loses and since Nick would see Will as a liability(and I’m sure Alec or Ellie would talk to him or something), Will goes home. Tom will still get caught by Drew but he’s not the only one who catches wind of his late night exploits…
Episode 3: Nick would be at odds with Ashley and Lill for voting off Will but he assures them they’ll be fine since he’s sure Alec and Ellie would never side with a “psychopath” like Gabby. This challenge would relatively go the same as in canon, and I feel the guys alliance will target Fiore but Grett would still frame Drew like in the show, sending him home. Fiore is PISSED at the fact there were three votes against her and swears revenge on the boys in the confessional.
Episode 4: At this point, I believe Fiore and Grett will form an actual alliance with Grett believing she’s using Fiore as a pawn. Oh that poor fool. For the Purple Team, Alec would go with Nick on the canoes while Gabby goes with Ellie and I’m definitely sure Ellie would tell Gabby about her plans for the million which Gabby would definitely comfort her for.
I think the challenge would still go the same as canon just with Fiore taking Gabby’s place and in the end, it’s a tie between Gabby and Nick, and I think Gabby uses her totem since she’d probably feel she’s in danger and Ellie would recommend it. So Nick gets eliminated like in the show.
Episode 5: Fiore’s phone call would probably involve her parents and they’d probably yell at her from the phone, probably calling her a mistake, causing her to hang up in fury. The Teal Team is immediately concerned but Fiore reassures them she’ll manage. For the challenge, I imagine Alec would cook with Ellie where they’d talk about alliance plans and Alec would explain that once they get rid of Lill and Ashley, they must stop losing challenges so the three of them can dominate.
In the end, the Purple Team still loses and Fiore would volunteer to vote off one of the Purple Team members. This is where Alec has his first interaction with Fiore and he gets her to vote off Ashley for being a powerhouse which Fiore has no problem with. Lill and Ashley still get eliminated here.
Episode 6: Fiore and Grett both work together to ensure Jake and Tom’s breakup and I think Fiore will probably let Grett get hit by a tranquilizer so she can win immunity. Meanwhile I believe Alec will still win immunity for himself on the Purple Team so I think Fiore would backstab Grett and Alec chooses to keep Ellie over Gabby. Ellie and Gabby kiss before Gabby “leaves” and Grett is furious. However, the two of them are switching teams.

2024.06.09 23:32 Aggravating_Ad9122 Drug use and Anxiety (traumatic experiences)

Hey y’all, I just wanted to make a post about my experience as someone who has seen a decline in their (TW) mental health and self image as well as my experience with drug abuse. As an 18 M who recently just got through their freshman year of college (was much harder than I thought) I went through a huge plethora of traumatic experiences. First it started off in school with a lot of stress from my studies, and to cope if you will I ended up hanging out a lot with friends to distract myself and drinking/vaping and smoking (not cigarettes just vape). I actually started to enjoy drinking which I realize was such a disgusting habit, even though it wasn’t that often but still is something I’m not supposed to be doing. On exactly April 9th I had an extremely horrible experience with edibles (thc+cbd) where I ingested the entire bag which was 800mg this has got to be over exaggerated as I learned the sketchiness of these delta 9 companies. Needless to say I was hospitalized from freaking out, had all sorts of tests done, but ultimately my physical health is fine. I can still feel my heart pound very hard when doing simple things like walking around or taking a hot shower which I hope goes away or else it will be a trip to the cardiologist, but hospital tests say my heart is fine. Anyways, at around the time I had that experience, I crashed my brand new car my parents gifted me for graduating high school and it just felt like the entire world has taken a huge shit on me. Now I think I probably have anxiety, but is not severe enough to treat. Any tips or helpful comments would be appreciated. I feel like a piece of me is missing and I find it hard to enjoy things I used to do such as play video games, hang out with family, or even just playing/making music. It’s been officially two months since what happened, but since my birthday is coming up this month I want to focus on enjoying that. Just a piece of my mind.

2024.06.09 23:30 throwaway291737493 What do I say to my landlord who violated my lease?

The saga continues. Apartment above me being very disruptive from 5 am to 2 am and smoking illicit substances.
Relevant legal outline of my lease: there is a strict no smoking addendum and a clause that states others are responsible for your lease terms and vice versa. There is a clear no disturbance policy that is punishable by eviction.
There have been some developments since I last posted. For starters, I finally had enough and emailed my property managelandlord and politely outlined that the people above me are loud and smoke marijuana that seeps into my apartment a month ago. No response. Emailed again after they came home and started smoking a week later, no response. Finally I called them and the assistant picked up and told me the landlord was handling it. Note, she’s very new so she sounded like she genuinely cared I’m going through this. She advised the landlord was in the process of giving them lease violations. This was the beginning of this week. I thought it would get better, but everything continued. Maintenance cleaned out my AC filter and yet I still smell it when they smoke.
I went in person to the leasing office yesterday and showed them irrefutable proof they’re smoking through my ring camera. It doesn’t matter if it’s drugs or cigarettes, you’re not supposed to smoke within 25 feet of the units. And here my neighbor was, smoking what looked to be marijuana. Showed them proof with time stamps before and after they “gave them violations.” I showed them videos where you can hear my neighbors yelling past noise ordinance with time stamps. The assistant called them and then told me the neighbors were never contacted by the landlord. So she told them to keep it down. She said she wants me to meet with my landlord in person Monday.
It’s clear they were given concrete evidence of violations that imposes on my health and well being and yet they still are not taking action. I pay them a hefty amount to do their job, per the lease agreement. What are my options? What are my legal rights if violations are allowed?

2024.06.09 23:29 Inevitable-Hope4793 New Horizon - lovecraftian

This is taken completely out of context but I'm just curious about first impressions.

It was like being on earth but not earth. She had never set foot on earth, but something told her this was incorrect. This was a cheap band-aid version of earth, something a bit richer than the turf based gardens on rooftop parks, but still mostly a reenactment. It was an earthscape like elder Ramsdale used to arrange, but not exactly crafted with his deep love and affection, and the smells didn't sit quite right; a shifty feel of the ground was not 100% concealed.
This bothered her because it meant she could not easily work out her surroundings. What was it then? Even replicas are made of something. When the mask is finally removed, the features that lay within have their own story, their own source; they are a material in their own right. They may have done a poor job shaping themselves into what the mind had been expecting, but that doesn't necessarily make them lesser than. Sometimes on their own they can be more; more real, more alive, more ancient.
Mara wondered what the place could really be, and she grew concerned that under the mask of this impersonation, something unfamiliar tensed and held its breath; something waited. She felt the exact same way about the streets of her city, the way they seethed; the way they could be felt blurring together when traveling at high speeds even when there were no windows through which to see them. She wanted to reach for her thoroughbred earthen headwap now to cover her eyes, that childhood keepsane that brought a sense of safety, but she didn't have it on her. Even so, the tuggings of her youth still came back, the wide-eyed hauntedness, the urge to retreat from the oppression of too much, of not understanding enough about her environment to claim it as her kingdom the way adults did. On this alien ground she felt like a kid again. A certain something here needed to be mastered, needed to be broken down into systems and measures, needed language, needed a tougher civilization to mature upon its back before her ilk came along, and she needed it quickly too, because something was rising in her stomach, bubbling up and making her…
She threw up off to the side, purged herself. It did not fix her bewilderment but it helped her head stop spinning.

2024.06.09 23:27 KoolLusey 22F Feeling Neglected by 24M Boyfriend What Should My Next Step Be?

Hey everyone,
I’m struggling with some issues in my long-distance relationship and could really use some advice or insight. My boyfriend and I have been together for a 8 months now, and we try to see each other at least once every two months. We’re constantly on call with each other, so I know he isn’t cheating. However, things have changed a lot since we first got together, and I’m feeling really neglected and unsure of what to do.
When we first started dating, he was incredibly loving and attentive. It was his idea to celebrate our month anniversaries with bouquets of flowers, long paragraphs expressing his love, and showering me with snacks and gifts. I would send him gifts too. But as time went on, these gestures dwindled. Our last month anniversary, I didn’t receive any gifts or a paragraph. He had promised to buy me food, but I ended up buying it myself after feeling light-headed from hunger and repeatedly telling him I was starving. He later claimed I turned down his offer to buy food, which I never did, and then said he was going to pay for the food I had already bought. I turned him down because I was already upset.
He hasn’t given me flowers in over five months, and the last time he did, it was a fake flower he gave me after realizing I had bought him a gift for our anniversary and he hadn’t gotten me anything. I haven’t received a compliment from him in ages, whereas I get more compliments from random people at work. We haven’t been intimate in two months, which used to be a daily thing, because he says it’s something that gets in his way and he deals with the health side of it on his own time.
I’ve noticed that after each of our visits, he becomes more distant and less romantic and sexual with me. I’ve confronted him about this and asked if he’s still attracted to me, and he insists that he loves me and is insanely attracted to me. We usually play games together, which is how we met, but recently, I’ve had to ask him if he wants to play, and he prefers watching shows instead. When we do play games, he often watches shows or listens to music to distract himself. We used to just sit and chat or hang out, but now he can’t even do that without starting a show.
What really stung was when I was at work and saw him playing games with his friends on Xbox. He had his fun, silly personality back and was actually engaging with them without a show on in the background. He recently told me that I come second to his job at the moment. It’s starting to feel like I’m more of a friend who’s always available rather than a partner.
The last time I tried to communicate with him about this he said I need to start making myself happy, and that he can't keep trying to make me happy. I’ve started trying to live for myself more. I’ve lost 20 pounds, and I’m spending more time outside, with my family, and playing with my dog. He has constantly stated communication is key in a relationship, but I’ve stopped talking about being upset with him due to the lack of changes, and he seems to be in better moods now, but nothing has changed for me.
I’m at a loss for what to do. Has anyone else experienced something similar? How did you handle it? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading.

2024.06.09 23:25 Double-Donut9195 AITA for Wanting a Childless Trip to Disney World?

Hi everyone,
I (29F) am planning a trip to Disney World for my 30th birthday with a group of five friends. We've all known each other since high school, so this trip means a lot to me as a way to celebrate with my closest friends from my teenage years.
However, as we've grown older, some of us have drifted apart in certain ways. One friend in particular, Mary, has changed quite a bit. Recently, when we hung out for the first time in a year, I realized just how much. Mary claims she needs to smoke the devil’s lettuce every two hours like clockwork or she becomes very irritable and negative due to her anxiety, which dampens the mood for everyone. She also has a tendency to swear loudly and frequently, regardless of the company or setting, and discusses her sex life in explicit detail in public places. While I’m no prude and my friends and I often talk about sex, there’s a time and place for everything.
I would like to note, I have bipolar II disorder, so I understand the highs and lows of anxiety and depression. I'm on medication that helps me manage it, but I get that not everyone wants to go that route. Still, it’s tough being around someone who doesn’t handle their emotions well and takes it out on others. Work your shit out.
During our recent hangout, Mary told me she’s planning to bring her 1-year-old daughter on my birthday trip. She didn't ask, just told me. At the time, I was a few margaritas in and didn’t think much of it. But after witnessing a few of Mary's anxiety attacks and smoking sessions, I realized having her and a toddler on this trip might be overwhelming and ruin the experience for me.
I am a Disney adult. I haven’t been to Disney World since a school trip when I was about 10, but I love all things Disney and find it magical. This trip is something I've been looking forward to for a long time and would be the perfect way to celebrate a new chapter of my life.
Mary is the only one in our group with a child, and we all adore her little girl. Of course, I want her daughter to have fun experiences, but maybe just not on this particular trip. I worry that bringing a child would mean accommodating her needs, making more stops, sticking to kiddie rides, and splitting up the group. Plus, after a day at the park, I don’t want to deal with early morning wake-ups or a fussy toddler.
I know there will be plenty of children at Disney World, but I won’t have to take them home with me after enjoying a day of adult activities like Drinking Around the World. When I envision my 30th birthday, I see it as a child-free celebration.
Bringing this up with Mary is likely to cause tension. So, AITA for not wanting to accommodate a child on my 30th birthday trip? How should I approach this situation?

2024.06.09 23:23 duncanisdumb Never bonded with a cat quite like her

Two days ago I had to put my 3 year old cat Bubby to sleep. It was very sudden and honestly shocked me, I still haven’t come around to accepting she’s actually gone, all my future plans always envisioned her by my side. I had other family cats before, and would also form close bonds with stray neighborhood cats when I was younger, however there wasn’t this big great “thing” that ever clicked between me and other cats before, until she came.
It’s like she was born for me, and me for her. I still feel like our souls merged and when she died a part of me went with her. Even if it was just a short time we knew one another, it felt like I’d known her for even longer. I never knew I could form a bond this close with a cat, but she proved me wrong. I found her living under our house crawlspace back in 2021. She had two twin sisters, and they were bonded but Bub was more of a loner with other cats and people until we became extremely close. She would go to the restroom with me every night, every morning, and would follow me around every morning when I got ready for work. She wasn’t really close to any of my other family members, she was a very shy cat at first and scared of people. Their attempts to get closer to her all failed but it seemed like she made an exception for me.
I’m honestly not exaggerating when I say we probably spent every waking moment of the day together, apart from when I was working, or the occasional times when she would roam around the living room. But she was always a very shy cat, although over time she became more open to exploring around the house my room was still her favorite place to be. I also don’t have many friends, so I wouldn’t go out much. We would keep each other company, I would play with her, make videos with her, tiktoks with her, record her crazy zoomies, and annoy her. I probably have a picture or video of her almost every day since when I found her. (Even bought more iCloud storage to make more space)
I would even make a fake “voice” that was her “voice” and have “conversations” with her. My family jokingly called me crazy at first but then would “speak” to Bub when I was around, it seems they all began to love her too. Even Bub became more open to receiving affection from them. I miss her so much and I just can’t believe she’s gone. The first morning getting ready without her was so shattering, not seeing her running around my side as I got ready for work broke my heart. I can’t stop breaking down into tears whenever I think about her. I honestly don’t think I ever want another cat again because I know I will never bond with any of them like I did with her. She just had something different and special about her, and I know I’ll never come across any cat like her again, and I don’t want to. She’s gonna hold a special place in my heart for as long as I live, and I just want to reunite with her already. I never believed in an afterlife but losing her makes me hope so badly that there is one just so I can see her again. My days feel empty, and depressing. I keep thinking I’m going to see her walking around the living room, lying in her cat bed next to me, or sleeping in the laundry baskets. I don’t know how I’m ever going to get used to her absence.

2024.06.09 23:22 Necessary-Stay-6816 IT LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVENT ACCEPTED A TRIP IN AWHILE?

What it should say is "LOOKS LIKE YOU HAVENT ACCEPTED A BS OFFER FROM US RECENTLY, ARE YOU SURE YOU DONT WANT TO LOSE MONEY ON NON PROFITABLE TRIPS? my market after 4 declines in a row it kicks you off and asks if you WANT TO STAY OFFLINE. This is for uber eats , shop pay etc, Fu uber, I don't want to go offline and by using intimidating words like this shows that your wanting NEWBIES AND NEWBIES ONLY. Welcome to uber everyone, the lowest bidder wins, however as a independent contractor, we should set a price for what we want to be paid to complete a offer. Uber is 100% opposite. I'm also in a rate card , NON UPFRONT DESTINATION TO WHERE PASSENGER IS GOING. Here in Ontario a independent contractor has 90 percent control of his/her business. I think by not stating the destination of the passenger, wipes out that 90 percent rule. Therefore Ontario labour laws would consider us a employee. Only legislation, council, government can change this, as it has in many city's that have upfront info on destination of pax. Stop immigration, stop instant cash out, stop fake accounts, stop batch orders.........ya I know.... NOT A CHANCE LOL

2024.06.09 23:21 slayeryamcha Things i outright would change in rwby.

My changes.
World:
Ozma and Salem are believed to be first-human/gods creator that together created mankind. Both are praised in churches. In "The parents" religion lore, it is believed that humans had made disgusting blashemy against gods, making Ozma leave world and Salem to wept in saddness. Grimm are creatures of dark made from Salem's tears and hunt evil humans. Grimm after death turn into dark goo that needs to be banished by paladin/knight or priest. It can infect humans and turn them into mindless zombie like creatures(they can use weapons and be turned to Cultists by Tyrian who leads Salem's despair. Infection can be cured but it is hard)
There are two churches of "all parents", International Church and Salem's dispair. International Church is akin to Templars when Salem's despair is like death cult(exluding killing themselfs).
Salem's Despair is lead by it's "pope" Tyrian. They somehow menaged to tame Grimm to aid them in battles against Church order, nobody knows how they done it.
Goal of Salem's Despair is to open portal to summon both Salem and Ozma to purge earth from wicked, cultists believe that such show of their devotion will make them chosen people of gods that will survive the purge. To acomplish this task, they believe that they need to bring all artifacts together to summon them.
Of course International Church led by Ozpin wants to stop them. Ozpin is not Ozma, Popes of international church just take name starting with O when they become popes.
Both ozma and salem don't do anything in world till being summoned, they are disapointed in mankind and wait till it will get better.
Atlas is named high Mantle being rich part of kingdom and it is situated on mountain's side.
No kingdoms because kingdom can't exist without a king, so we have nations. Mistral is a country plunged into anarchy and Vacuo has become a vassal of Vale.
Mistral is divided in two parts, controlled territory and lawless one. As name suggest controlled territory is the part under rule of Mistral's gov.
All nations have armies but Vacuo one is mostly militia under Vale's control.
Mantle's army is the strongest one and most advanced too. But "advanced stuff" like robots, mechs and massive flying battle ships are made in small ammount because it is expensive as fuck.
In Vacuo exist big rebel group called "Vacuo's liberation army("VLA") that fights against Vacuo's gov, Valian units(like valian army and Rich families mercenaries) and SDC
Rich families like Schnee or Winchesters have their own personal mercenary armies.
Instead of white fang(stupid name), there is United Faunus Front(UFF) lead by Sienna. Ghira's organization was simply called International Faunus Movement(IFM)
Every faunus is cat faunus and they are divided in four groups:
  1. Valian faunus, descended from liberated slaves who, together with the Vale army, arrived and settled in Vale after the World War. Almost completely assimilated into Valian population and often serve in it's army.
  2. Mistralian faunus, descended from slaves liberated by Vale who remained in Mistral. Due to their history, they often join the UFF to take revenge on the Mistralian population.
  3. Mantlian faunus were slaves or faunus immigrants from Magierane or Mistral. The majority of the Faunus population in Mantle is employed by the SDC. Under Jacques who decided to use faunus as source of votes, they are treated fairly well. Thanks to it, SDC is mostly safe from UFF attacks. But this also created of many theories that UFF is in fact founded by it to destroy SDC's competition.
  4. Magierane faunus, divided into local and migrant. The locals have the features of Bengal tigers, one of them is partly Adam. The migrants were former slaves from the rest of the world.
First years of beacon(yang, weiss, blake) are 18, Ruby is 16, Adam is 24, Winter is 23. Taiyang/Qrow are 44. Huntsmen schools now are now schools of Church order.
Character changes(names + small info)
Adam Taurus -> Adam Khan Info: He is nothing like og. Now he is black haired tiger faunus, tall and proud. Trained from young age, Adam is killing machine that rips apart anybody that dares to opose him. He wants to marry Blake to crowns himself as next Chieftain of magierane. Biggest change is that he is Jacques son and he loves his father. Yup, in my idea Jacques loves his bastard son and helped Sienna create UFF. Both have good relationships thanks to Jacques many "work" visits to Magierane.
Taiyang Xiao-Long -> Tyler Drake
Info: One of the most deadly men walking on Remnant, works as mercenary for most powerful families. It brought him lot of friends and enemies alike. He is still softie when it comes to his baby girls
Yang Xiao-Long -> Sunny Drake Ruby Rose -> Ruby Drake
Info: Those gals only got name change, ok maybe Yang got little more slutty
Summer Rose/Raven Branwen -> Summer Drake(Maiden name Nikos) Info: Summer and Raven mashed to one character. Once deadly templar, after becoming mother, Summer decided to retire and work in small school in Patch. Raven's right hand woman is now Hellen Nikos, Pyrrha's younger sister.
Qrow Branwen->Autumn Nikos Info: Summer's Brother. Say goodbye to happy drunk uncle, this one is die hard patriot of Mistral. Lover of order and devoted beliver of Ozma. He is hard ass but loves his family.
Sky Lark -> Simon Lark Info: Now he is named simon, fight me cowards
Dove Bronzewing -> Devin Bronzewing Info: Who the fuck, names their son a pigeon?
Bart Oobleck -> Edmund Oobleck Info: His name is hard to write. Also he and Port are girl's cool uncles.
Glynda Goodwitch -> Glynda Oobleck-Goodwitch Info: Yup, our ol witch felt into hands of charming coffe addict
Whitley Schnee -> Jason Schnee Info: Athletic, Ambitious and Smart, in short he is an ASS. He is trully his father son.
Jacques Schnee -> Jacques Durand-Schnee Info: Far more proud but also far more carring. This dude goes from cold blooded killer into family man really quick. Hard but fair, loves his kids and even his white haired wife. Poor soldier that got into most powerful family of Mantle by pure luck.
Jaune Arc -> Arthur Drake Info: Third child of Duncan Drake, young Arthur always wanted to be a knight of holy order. With years of training under watch of his father and uncle, he is ready to take Beacon in STORM!

2024.06.09 23:16 throwaway_losttime Daughter and I both lost 11 minutes while driving together

TL:DR - My daughter and I were driving together on a well-known route, somehow traveled 2.5 miles in the blink of an eye, and lost 11 minutes.
I'm still wrapping my head around this, and I'm not even sure how to describe what happened to us, but I need to write this down in detail so that I can remind myself later that I didn't imagine it. Or maybe to remind myself that I'm not crazy and that it actually happened? I need to write this out because if I just keep going over and over it in my head, I'm going to wear myself out. This happened today, just about seven hours ago, and I'm still not sure how to process it. I hope that by writing this out I can stop torturing myself with questions.
I'm a woman in my mid-40s, I am mentally healthy, and while I believe that there are things humans can't explain, I don't experience things like this ever. (Like, if you tell me you saw a ghost, I'd believe that you are telling me your truth, but I don't experience a lot of weird shit myself, you know?) If I had been driving alone this morning and this happened, I honestly would have just been all, "Nope, that didn't happen," and I probably would just convince myself that nothing weird happened at all. All this to say that I don't normally have this kind of thing happen, and I have also been sober for over a decade. My daughter is 16 and is young and healthy. We weren't drunk, high, impaired, or otherwise experiencing non-reality.
This was around 6:30 a.m., and neither one of us was mentally altered, we were both a little bit tired from waking up early. My daughter has a job at a children's summer camp about an hour from our house, and she was home this weekend to do laundry and relax. She was supposed to be back at camp on Sunday (today) at 7 a.m. to get ready for campers arriving in the afternoon.
She told me she wanted to be there a little earlier than 7, so I set my alarm for 4:45 a.m., and in total I got about 4.5 hours of sleep. I woke her up at 5:00 a.m. and she took a shower and finished packing her bags. We left our house around 5:40, and when we were about 10 minutes away, we had to turn around because she had forgotten something important. No biggie, I turned around, she got her stuff, we headed to go get coffee. My coffee receipt says 5:58 a.m. The GPS estimated that we would get from the coffee shop to camp at 6:44, totally normal for this early in the morning. If it was afternoon and there was traffic it could possibly take an hour or an hour-ten.
The route to camp is very straightforward, and I have driven this route six times already just this summer (to drop her off or pick her up, and also because I work for the organization that runs the camp, so I have also had to go out there twice to do paperwork). Not to mention the dozens of times I've made this trip in previous years, either for work or to take my daughter to camp when she was little.
From our neighborhood, you can take two different routes for about the first 6 miles of the trip, but the next 26 miles are always the same. There is only one route to this camp, and I know my way there and back like the back of my hand. (I use the GPS because I like knowing how much time is left on my drive. Like if I need to stop and use the restroom or can I make it the final 15 minutes or whatever, you know?)
So basically, take route A or route B the first 6 miles, take a right turn onto State Highway and head west, drive another 19 miles, turn right onto Rural Road and head north (there's a huge convenience store and a stoplight at that intersection, you can't miss it), and then about 7 miles later you're at camp.
We started an album on Spotify by a band that we both enjoy, and while I was tired, I wasn't "fall asleep at the wheel and drive off the road tired" - I was sipping my coffee, we were both kind of just listening to the music and not talking much. It was dark when we left, but by the time we got to the 2/3 point of the drive, the sky was lightening up a bit.
The last song of the band's album came on, then when it ended another song by the same band started. I hadn't heard it before, I didn't like it very much, and I assumed that Spotify had just finished the album and then started up a different album by the same band. But when I looked at my car's dashboard screen, it showed that the song was part of the album I had chosen. I hadn't heard this song at the end of the album the other twenty times I've listened to it, so that's weird, but maybe it's an extended edition album or something on Spotify. No biggie. I asked my daughter to take my phone and go ahead and put on what she wanted to listen to next.
She chose a lady singer who had opened for the first band at their concert we saw earlier this year in January, and she queued up four songs she liked. She put my phone back on the dashboard phone mount, and the first song started to play. We were both still just kind of bobbing our heads and waking up, and we turned around a bend of the highway. The first song by the lady ends and the second song starts.
At this point we're just about 1.5 miles to the final turn, where we turn right from the State Highway onto Rural Road. We had just passed a restaurant/landmark that I always know means we're about to make that final turn, so I'm glad that my drive is almost over. I'm eager to stop at camp and pee, drop my daughter and her luggage off, chat with some folks I know from work, and then go home. I sipped my coffee, and there was about an inch of coffee left in the paper cup. The upcoming last leg of the drive, from turning onto Rural Road to the camp gates should take about 12 minutes.
We come around the final little curve of the highway before the intersection, and I'm keeping an eye out for the convenience store that marks the turn onto Rural Road. We're pretty much the only car on the four-lane State Highway going our direction. I'm in the left lane, and there's a dark-color little station wagon/mini-SUV in the right lane just about 4-5 car lengths ahead of me. That car puts on its breaks, not hard like there's an emergency, but a little bit sudden, and then pulls over onto the shoulder of the highway.
It doesn't look like they're in trouble, the little navy blue Subaru isn't smoking or busted a tire or anything, so I don't think much of it. As we pass it my daughter turns her head to look out her window at the car, and I proceed west toward the final little bend in the highway before we get to the stoplight to turn onto Rural Road.
Suddenly there are big orange construction barrels lining the highway. They've got the 4-lane highway down to just two lanes, one in each direction. I knew they had been doing construction, but the last time I drove to camp on Friday evening to pick up my daughter, the construction had been farther down the highway, on the west side of the intersection at Rural Road where the State Highway continues going West. Guess the construction is now extending up this far, okay, no problem.
The sky is even lighter, and then I see a big stone/brick sign on the right hand side of the road marking the entrance to a subdivision I've never seen before. That's weird.
I glance at the GPS to see it telling me to turn right onto a little road I've never seen before, and I remark to my daughter, "Is it taking me to a shortcut? I've literally never seen this road before." At this point, the convenience store should be in sight just ahead. I have no idea what this road is.
She shrugs, we turn right and drive north onto the little paved road where the GPS told us to turn, but we're both really confused. There isn't any "shortcut" to camp, it's only Rural Road. There's only one way in or out of camp. We frown and start saying, "This is weird."
There's not much on this little paved road, we've been driving for about a minute, maybe minute-and-a-half. On our right we pass a small brick sign marking an events hall, like the kind of place you could rent out for a wedding or something. Then I see a power substation ahead on the left, so I gesture to the grassy fields on both sides of the road, and I joke, "Oh look, the GPS is taking us on a shortcut with a very scenic view of the power station, check out these beautiful views." LOL, I'm a riot.
I slow down on the little 2-lane paved road, there's no cars behind us that would care, and I tap my phone screen and zoom the GPS map out, to get a bigger view of where I'm supposed to be going. About a mile ahead is a Y-intersection/fork in the road, and the GPS is telling me to make a U-turn at the fork, head back south, and then turn left to drive eastward on State Highway, then turn left/north onto Rural Road. WTF? This isn't right. It's very much... wrong. This is wrong.
So instead of going another half-mile to the fork in the road, I decide to just U-turn in the gravel driveway of the power substation. So I pull into the power substation, U-turn, and go back up the little road, frowning at the GPS and looking at my daughter all, "What the fuck? Where are we? What is going on?" I can't concentrate with the music playing (the third song she had queued up), so I turn the volume all the way down.
We drive another minute or so to get back to the top of the little paved road where it T-intersects with State Highway and wait for a green light so we can turn left, and the whole time we're freaking out. Where are we, why are we here? And my daughter is so nervous/upset that she's laughing, like uncontrollable nervous laughter. Suddenly she goes, "What the fuck?" and points to the GPS, and now our estimated time of arrival at camp is no longer 6:44, it's 6:55 a.m.... WTF WTF WTF. We "lost" 11 minutes? How?
She's still laughing, putting her hand on my shoulder, like, "Mom, what just happened? What the fuck? We lost time?"
I'm trying to figure out what the fuck just happened, we're now going east on State Highway back toward the intersection to Rural Road, and I'm just... I don't know what's happening.
We come back to the big sign for the subdivision (passing it on our left), and then we go over a bridge that we don't remember going over at all the first time. We never drove over this bridge while we were heading west. We were less than a mile from the turn onto Rural Road, and we blinked, and suddenly we were passing the construction barrels and the subdivision sign.
We approach the intersection to turn left onto Rural Road, and we realize that the construction barrels do NOT go past that intersection. There are zero orange barrels on the east side of the convenience store. There are zero construction barrels where we saw the other car pull over.
We turn onto Rural Road and start trying to piece this together. What the fuck just happened? We were both on the lookout for the convenience store that we know so well, that we've stopped at dozens of times on our way to camp, that we KNOW marks the north/east corner of the intersection to turn right onto Rural Road, but it's like we both blinked and suddenly we were on the west side of the intersection.
She's still laughing, unsettled as all hell, we still have another ten minutes to drive down Rural Road to the camp gates, we're both talking over each other, and piecing it together. And it's like, no. This is not possible, it's not right. Something happened. Because from where we last remember (being on the east side of that intersection and seeing that car put its brakes on and pull over) to where we saw the subdivision sign and where the GPS told us to turn onto the little paved road, is just 2.5 miles, it would only take 2 minutes to drive. Where did a full 9 more minutes go? How did this happen? What the fuck happened?
I'm all, "That was fucked up."
"No, Mom, that was more than fucked up."
"Well, I don't have a word for 'more than fucked up,' so give me a little credit here. I don't know what the fuck just happened."
She's like, "How do we explain this to anyone?"
"You don't. You can't talk to anyone about this, they'll think you're crazy. I'm tempted to say it didn't happen and we both imagined it and we should never talk about it again."
She goes, "You know, when the GPS told us to turn onto that little road it felt wrong."
"I know, like something was wrong? That's not the way to camp?"
"No, Mom. Like wrong wrong. I just felt wrong. Everything in my body was screaming that it was wrong."
"I know, I know... I felt weird, too. But I don't know what happened."
"Okay, but..." She starts talking, and I pick up my coffee cup to find it's empty. There had been a good sip or two left just before the convenience store, and now it's gone. That freaks me out. My daughter is still going back over what happened, talking about the last "normal" part of the drive while we were heading west and looking for the convenience store turnoff.
"We were driving toward the turnoff to camp, and the second song came on, and I remember seeing that gray Tesla brake hard and pull over, and I was like-"
"Wait, a gray Tesla? No, it was a blue Suburban. I remember thinking it was a Mom car."
She's like, "Noooo, it was a gray Tesla. I swear it was a gray Tesla."
"But it was kind of light outside by that time. How did we both see a different car?"
She's still laughing really nervously, "Okaaay, so... Did this just happen? We were driving to the intersection, the second song came on, we lost 11 minutes, we both saw a different car, we have never missed the turn to camp, we've never driven past that subdivision before... what the fuck?"
"Yeah, the second song ended, the third song came on, and what song is it on now?" (Because I'm thinking we can estimate how long the four songs should have taken.)
She picks up my phone, and it's playing the second song she queued up. I shivered, and she's like, "Nope nope nope. Not happening, this is not happening."
We just... we can't wrap our heads around this. We pulled up at camp, and I checked my Google Maps history but I don't have it turned on. I can't think of any other way to try to see what happened during those 11 minutes/2.5 miles. I'm stumped.
If you read this far, congratulations, you have earned my respect. I can barely understand it myself. If you know why or how or what the fuck is going on, I'd appreciate it.
Neither of us felt... damaged, you know? We didn't feel physically harmed, we didn't feel like we had crashed or been probed or anything. In fact, halfway through my drive home I realized my sore throat from seasonal allergies was completely gone, and my sinuses were clear instead of clogged. Did we get abducted by aliens and they healed my sore throat? Did we crash and quantum leap into a different universe? Did we drive through a wormhole that transported us 2.5 miles to the west for some reason? Was the gray Tesla/blue Suburban an alien vehicle and my daughter wasn't supposed to look directly at it?
I want to know what happened, but just reading through everything I've written makes my eyes water with fear. I kind of want to ignore it, chalk it up to us both being tired, and then never talk about it again.

2024.06.09 23:15 hillycan The time an intruder was in the house

I just had this memory pop in my head that I hadn’t thought of for some time, but felt compelled to share. One afternoon, my mom had stayed out a bit late to go to a bar with some guy. It was probably around 10PM. Of course, since it was summer and my siblings and I weren’t in school, we were hanging out in my brother’s room watching Disney Channel and playing Club Penguin on the computer. We heard an eerie sound of someone attempting to twist the doorknob of the front door as if attempting to get in. All 3 of us were spooked and my sister said “Mama has a key to the door on her car keys; I don’t think that’s her. She would knock if she couldn’t get in.” We all entered fight or flight mode as we could still hear the doorknob shaking down the hall. I quickly jumped up and closed my brother’s bedroom door and locked it with all 3 of us in there. We muted the tv and listened. I told my brother and sister “Look, if they get in the house and come to this bedroom door, we are climbing out the window, running to the backyard fence and jumping into our neighbor’s yard, so stand next to the window.” We were friend’s with this neighbor’s kids and had been over there plenty of times. My siblings stood next to the window while I stood next to the bedroom door listening. I heard the front door slowly open and shut and heard foot steps get closer and closer down the hallway. Immediately, the bedroom doorknob began twisting and then there was banging on the bedroom door, as if someone was attempting to bust it down. I stuck the dining chair turned computer chair under the door knob to attempt to keep it shut. I shouted “Mama, is that you?” And a man shouted back “let me in” and continued to bang against the door. I turned to my brother and sister and pointed at the window. My brother frantically snatched the window open and it made a creak sound. This is when we heard my mom’s voice on the other side saying “Y’all, it’s me! Open the door!” We all stopped dead in our tracks and were still hesitant to open the door. My mom had somehow faked her voice to sound like a man and was “playing a trick” on us. There wasn’t an intruder. It felt like this had gone on for 10 minutes and we were all so terrified. She said she wanted to see how we’d act if someone were to break in. This wasn’t the only time she had faked something, hence me questioning “the intruder” if it was her. She had faked passing out a few times “to see if we’d know what to do”. To this day (now around 18 years later), she still tells lies to see how our family will react. She’s had a brain tumor, lung cancer, cervical cancer. But not really; that’s the lies she’s told over the years to get a reaction. I believe she’d fake her own death if she could get away with it, just to see what everyone’s reaction would be. It’s caused me to question literally anything she says and have extreme doubt in what she tells me, which then makes ME feel guilt for feeling that way. The most recent lie was the cervical cancer a few months ago. I expressed to my fiancé that I know she could be lying and I feel bad for saying that, in case she isn’t. It ended up being a lie. I just don’t understand why she does it.

2024.06.09 23:11 NowL1LL1TH [Online] [5E] [Partial Homebrew] [Saturday] [New GM] [LGBTQ+ Friendly] Looking for players for a roleplay heavy long term campaign!

Setting

Okay, The campaigns name is The Broken Timeline, The main story will involve piecing together a timeline while an unknown powerful force is attempting to stop this. It will take place in faerun, but it wont be just completely standard faerun, there will be changes, and there will be special mechanics with interesting functionalities. The campaign will be starting with level one characters, and will be ending after 20 if the campaign goes on that long.

Player Stuff

The prologue (one on one sessions with each player) will be taking place here on earth, think the isekai trope in anime, that's kind of what will be happening. Characters must be from earth as the rule above states, your characters background must be picked based on what they did on earth.

Rules

As I said in the title, this will be roleplay heavy, meaning if there is combat, there is a reason behind it, and please do recognise that as a new GM, I will make mistakes, If and when I make them, I want the players to tell me what mistakes i made and give helpful criticism. Preferably have physical dice, I believe it adds to the experience of D&D but of course, it is not a requirement, if needed, online dice work fine as well. I will most likely not be using a third party program, I might use roll20 but I doubt it, I'm putting trust into you players to not cheat/fake rolls, it only diminishes yours and everyone else's experience. Same as the dice, it is preferred that you have a physical character sheet, but an online one works fine as well. One last thing here, it would be preferred if you have at least a functional mic and okay connection, as it will be ran over discord, i do want the players experience to be diminished via other players mics glitching or frequent crashed, please and thank you.

Ending comment

2 players have been selected out of preferably 4 players, depending on if capable 5. Please tell me what I am missing from this post and I will make an edit, thank you in advance for any helpful criticism, reach out to me on discord if you are interested in joining, lilith_._._. is my discord ign. Oh, and just so you know, I am a little under 15, just wanted to state that incase that's something some of you don't want. The time zones and when it will take place along with stuff like triggers and what i should avoid will be done after the players have all been selected in a week.

2024.06.09 23:11 yiyrcotc AITA for faking a phone call to leave a hangout?

The other day I 20(f) was hanging out with my 2 best friends, one of them 20(m), vapes. Which I don't have any problems with (mostly because I can't control his actions) but he does have a habit of not having etiquette about it (blowing vape in our face, hotboxxing us in his caroom, etc).
He also, much more recently, smokes weed.
None of this is a problem except this time he had a dragonfruit watermelon geek bar. And coincidentally, the only thing in the world I'm allergic to is dragonfruit. Which he knows of.
Naturally, I had a bit of a reaction. The usual itchy mouth, throat, tight chest, tingly face and despite my protest, he wouldn't stop. Mind you, I'm fairly new to this allergy so everytime I get exposed to it, my reaction gets worse everytime. So just the vapor was making me feel like shit.
I decide to go to the bathroom for a bit and consider whether on just leaving for the day since I didn't want my reactions to worsen. And I don't know what possessed me to text my mom and fake a phone call but I did. Albeit my acting was shit, I did end up leaving with the excuse that my mom wanted me home.
Later, we get into an argument through text where he says I shouldn't have made it a big deal and to have been honest about making me uncomfortable. Where I responded with how I do but then gets mad at me for, in his words, being a buzzkill. This went on for a bit, with him saying things like how I had prejudices against him for simply having fun, calling me fake for faking the phone call, and insinuating he was stupid.
Now, my friend and I have had a rocky past. We butt heads often and end up fighting pretty much every other hang out but we've stayed friends. Whether that's a good idea on my part is on me but this isn't the first time we've fought like this.
Eventually, I had begun to feel guilt and after a day I basically apologized for my behavior. He hadn't replied or even read it, so I'm giving him some space.
So now I'm just wondering if I'm the asshole for blowing it out of proportion.
TL;DR: aita for faking a phone call to leave a hangout because my friend was vaping dragon fruit which I'm allergic to?

Running a Fate Series game using the Fate Core TTRPG
https://preview.redd.it/ht7eemct1m5d1.jpg?width=671&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6eac06af65702be8e1bdebbee32e3844c599b5fc
Hello, Internet.
After watching the ufotable adaptations of Fate, I've grown quite fond of the franchise, and especially the kinds of stories that can be told through Holy Grail Wars. A really big interest of mine are Tabletop RPGs like D&D, which I've been playing for six years, so I tried to find a way to be able to adapt a playable Holy Grail War within a TTRPG. I am unaware how many people here are familiar with these kinds of games, but I still wanted to share some of my progress to see if the community might think I got the whole "vibes" of Fate right.
So, first off, I'm using the highly-malleable TTRPG "Fate Core". It is completely unrelated to type moon and anything nasuverse, but I couldn't help myself due to the name of the thing, and because it claimed to be able to be so modifiable that it can run any setting. This is what I wanted to put to the test.
What makes it infinitely malleable is its main mechanic: aspects. Adjectives, sentences, catch phrases, and traits that are written into the character and can be called upon for an advantage. There's the High Concept that defines you, a Trouble that can be Compelled to either give you a disadvantage, or to determine your course of action.
For this game, I'd allow for players to choose whether they'd want to be a Servant or a Master, so the next Aspect for servants would be their class. A Saber, for example, would have "Powerful Melee warrior. Adept at swordsmanship". Every class has their static Aspects, and they can be Invoked in any given situation to gain a better result than what the dice offer you. For Masters, I felt fitting that their first other aspect should be their wish. It is both a driving force and a source for conflict.
The next aspect would be the name of the Noble Phantasm for the Servants, or the signature Magical Discipline( those found on the Type Moon wiki), or ability from the Masters. This serves as an extra aid whenever they want to show off, or to determine some things the players could do based on their proficiency with these.
I've mentioned that one can Invoke these Aspects, or be Compelled by them, but that comes at a cost, called Fate Points. Everyone starts a session with 3 minimum, and you pay Fate Points to Invoke aspects to better your situation, or to compel someone else. Should you be compelled by anyone(even yourself), you gain a Fate Point. There is also the option to Pay a Fate Point to reject a compel, or to declare an aspect on the setting. All of these traits apply to aspects, but I found them really useful to apply as a Homebrew rule for Command Spells as well. You can have 3 of them throughout the game, and they work Just like Fate Points, except one's servant can't reject them.
Now, to handle the Noble Phantasms, I've split them into 3 steps, each costing one Fate Point: 1- the signature move 2- an upgrade to whatever roll the move uses by using a variant rule I found called "Strange Fate"(which reminds me of Strange Fake and I love), where one of the 4 fudge dice is replaced with a d6, allowing rolls to go up to +9 without modifiers. And, finally, 3- to give an aspect to the target, whether it's the destruction of a structure, or something like lingering damage, etc.
For Reality marbles, since they change the whole scenario upon activation, It costs two to first use them, and then one can upgrade the rolls using Strange Fate.
Fate Core has no stats, but instead relies on a skill piramid that one can easily modify. I've only added a Mana skill to determine how good of a Mage the Masters are, and how much strain on their mana reserves the Servants are. This skill gives the Servants a static bonus (that can be negative) to their noble phantasms, or their spells should they be a caster, but it also allows for us to add Mana Boosts, or Mana Transfers, affecting one roll of their overall skills
For spells and extra abilities, I'm allowing players to pick trained disciplines equal to their mana score. Again, I've defined these disciplines based on those that show up on the Type Moon wiki. Here, rules get very loose. Anyone can come up with ways they use their magic as a sort of flavour to their skill rolls, but they can also come up with bigger spells with bigger effects. The simple solution is to have them cost Fate Points or "Stress"( Fate's alternative to HP) to use. This is where Fate's trait of prioritizing the fiction and story over the mechanics really shines.
And that's pretty much it! I mean, honestly, there is a lot more, and I will put out there that I've included variants for Rulers, Watchers, Avengers, Pretenders, Pseudo-Servants, Vessels for the Grail and for Masters who aren't mages. However, I wouldn't like to overwhelm y'all with all of it. What one can take away from this is that my Fate TTRPG system basically just works to make a character within the Nasuverse, and what one does with them afterwards is up to the players. I'd be really keen to hear thoughts and opinions, critiques and suggestions, even if you're unfamiliar with TTRPGs in general. I'm sharing it here mostly to see opinions on how well this could be considered to be an adaptation of the Holy Grail Wars into a TTRPG.
Thank you for your time, I'm sorry for the text wall, and I honestly hope you find this interesting or like a neat lil thought excercise maybe idk

2024.06.09 22:59 KoolLusey 22F Feeling Neglected by 24M Boyfriend in Long-Distance Relationship

Hey everyone,
I’m struggling with some issues in my long-distance relationship and could really use some advice or insight. My boyfriend and I have been together for a 8 months now, and we try to see each other at least once every two months. We’re constantly on call with each other, so I know he isn’t cheating. However, things have changed a lot since we first got together, and I’m feeling really neglected and unsure of what to do.
When we first started dating, he was incredibly loving and attentive. It was his idea to celebrate our month anniversaries with bouquets of flowers, long paragraphs expressing his love, and showering me with snacks and gifts. I would send him gifts too. But as time went on, these gestures dwindled. Our last month anniversary, I didn’t receive any gifts or a paragraph. He had promised to buy me food, but I ended up buying it myself after feeling light-headed from hunger and repeatedly telling him I was starving. He later claimed I turned down his offer to buy food, which I never did, and then said he was going to pay for the food I had already bought. I turned him down because I was already upset.
He hasn’t given me flowers in over five months, and the last time he did, it was a fake flower he gave me after realizing I had bought him a gift for our anniversary and he hadn’t gotten me anything. I haven’t received a compliment from him in ages, whereas I get more compliments from random people at work. We haven’t been intimate in two months, which used to be a daily thing, because he says it’s something that gets in his way and he deals with the health side of it on his own time.
I’ve noticed that after each of our visits, he becomes more distant and less romantic and sexual with me. I’ve confronted him about this and asked if he’s still attracted to me, and he insists that he loves me and is insanely attracted to me. We usually play games together, which is how we met, but recently, I’ve had to ask him if he wants to play, and he prefers watching shows instead. When we do play games, he often watches shows or listens to music to distract himself. We used to just sit and chat or hang out, but now he can’t even do that without starting a show.
What really stung was when I was at work and saw him playing games with his friends on Xbox. He had his fun, silly personality back and was actually engaging with them without a show on in the background. He recently told me that I come second to his job at the moment. It’s starting to feel like I’m more of a friend who’s always available rather than a partner.
The last time I tried to communicate with him about this he said I need to start making myself happy, and that he can't keep trying to make me happy. I’ve started trying to live for myself more. I’ve lost 20 pounds, and I’m spending more time outside, with my family, and playing with my dog. He has constantly stated communication is key in a relationship, but I’ve stopped talking about being upset with him due to the lack of changes, and he seems to be in better moods now, but nothing has changed for me.
I’m at a loss for what to do. Has anyone else experienced something similar? How did you handle it? Any advice or insights would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading.
