18+ for smut themes.
Hey there! I’m Septimus (M) And it’s nice to meet you!
Today I’m coming forward with the desire to RP as an OC in OC x OC or OC x CC harem based prompts.(I’m greedy, I know but what’s RP without wish fulfilment?)
For my replies I only write in first person and the length of my replies vary from a few sentences to a few solid paragraphs depending on how much is going on in a scene. I figured I’d put a fair warning here that if you reply with low detail, I won’t be rping with you. I’m not looking for a few words as a response. While that might be your thing, that's fine and power to you! It’s just not mine.
I’m someone who likes a nice balance of build-up and story to go along with the smut. I’m not the biggest fan of constant sex, or sex that starts within one or two replies. I also like cute dates and moments, and love to type out action driven moments. Of course this isn’t exactly applicable to every starter.
What I look for in a partner:
Third Person responses (Unless you're playing an OC among the harem)
Don’t take control of my character at any point. Self explanatory but if you write that he does something or has a reaction to something I didn’t write myself I’m not going to be rping with you. You usually get one chance with this and little to no warnings.
Active: I don't wanna be waiting a week for a single reply with no warning. I understand if you're busy outside of RP but please let me know so I'm not just waiting around and twiddling my thumbs. If I go a few days up to a week without hearing from you at all I'm going to assume you're no longer interested. This is once the RP has started. I hear nothing from you I will simply assume you aren’t interested unless you state otherwise. This is just me making sure my friends list isn’t cluttered and I’m not being ghosted. :)
Communicative: It kinda links in with the other but if you're not feeling the RP or you're busy. I'm not gonna get mad or anything I'm an understanding person! Also we don’t both need to be online to RP I generally go off the idea that we both reply whenever we’re able to and the other will get to it once we’re up for it/online.
Please for the love of god don’t spam me every 5 mins. Sending “Hellos?” “?”, ask me if I’m busy, or send a message, delete it and then resend it if I don’t reply right away. It comes across as extremely pushy. I’m not ignoring you if I don’t reply, I’m probably busy. And if I come back to a bunch of spam or keep hearing the notification noise while I’m trying to do something else, it annoys me. As it would anyone I’m sure. Spamming me is a quick way to get blocked. You get one chance with this and no warnings. Sending a bunch of ideas/thoughts about the RP is fine though.
Detailed responses: Anything just around a paragraph (4+ sentences though it depends on the RP AND my response.) is enough, but more is always very much appreciated.
I don’t do group RPS and I don’t play as female characters.
Now to get into the meat and potatoes, I’ll post my kinks and limits. There’s a lot there and not all of them will be applicable to the starters. Aside from Harems. Those are compulsory.

Kinks:
Harems – (Which doesn’t mean playing a bunch of characters at once. If you prefer to play 1 character per scene that’s fine, though the minimum amount of overall characters I’ll take in a harem/RP would be 4 though more is heavily preferred! This kink is currently compulsory for all my rps)
Outercourse (Which is stuff like titjobs, thigh jobs, grinding, hot dogging, that kinda thing), Risky/public spaces. (Places you can get caught but don’t. Toilet stalls, changing booths, that kinda thing), Facials, Freckles (Face and body), Big, nicely shaped bums (Especially if they jiggle… just an overall fan of the jiggle if I’m honest), Creampies, Cum on tits/body, big cumshots, thigh high socks, showewater sex (places like pools, showers, hot tubs that kinda things, and a Mutual desire for sex. I also don’t mind pubic hair as long as it’s not overly bushy, trimmed stuff is nice and preferred! :) I’m also into the rougher stuff. Things like Anal, rough sex. Choking, Spanking all that as well!
Limits:
Pregnacy, which also includes lactation (Hard limit, sorry), Vomit, Piss, Blood, toilet stuff, knife/gunplay, noncon, Gangbangs (reverse gangbangs with females is fine), non hetero pairings, Rimming/pegging, cartoonishly large proportions, NTR, (There could be more that I haven’t thought of, if you’re unsure feel free to ask)
There could be more that I might be into, that hasn’t been listed so feel free to ask about it and we can work something out. And without further ado let’s head straight into it.

I’ve made an easy access list for you to read through to see if anything piques your interest before you have to scroll through this abundant list.
Of course, due to reddit’s character limits I’ll just be posting a few of the starters below, so you can get a handle on my writing, any other ideas you might be interested in feel free to shoot me a PM and I can send those to you!

Idea 1: My Harem (Hero) Academia.
(So for this one, my character will be a transfer into class 1-A. From Shiketsu. His power is that of Persuasion. With the power he’s able to convince someone to do something as if it’s their own free will. That being said he’s rather hesitant to use it on other people and due to the stigma around his quirk he’s been seen as an outcast and a freak and has been constantly harassed due to the nature of his quirk.)
(The idea I have for this RP is that the girls of class 1-A will help him come out of his shell and accept that his quirk isn’t the villainous thing that other people have led him on to be. This is more of a “Love Route” though I suppose a more selfish route is also available! Also if you wanted to branch out to internships with heroes like Mirko and Mt Lady that’s available too! It’s currently set after the training camp arc and will continue from there.)
Starter: It was a day which started like most others in Class 1-A. The students got ready in the dorms and headed to class to chat among themselves while they waited for Aizawa to enter. However, unlike most days there seemed to be an extra desk placed in the room. The seat caused some confusion which didn’t last long as the first bell rang and Aizawa entered the room.
“Morning everyone.” He stated in his mainly bored and sleepy tone which seemed to sound like he was stifling a yawn. “Today we’ve got a new student transferring in from another school. He’s from Shiketsu, some of you may recognize the name since it’s got the same level of prestige as U.A. but regardless, make sure he feels welcome.” He said, pointing a sweeping stare at everyone and finally resting on the problem student of the U.A class Bakugo.
With that he fell silent and I felt it was my cue to enter. Swallowing a little at the nerves I steeled them quickly and entered. Nervously my blue eyes sweep over some of the familiar faces in the room. Many of the students had standout performances in the UA sports festival and as well in the news reports about the villain attack on the training camp.
I had a lot to live up to if I wanted to join these legends in training but regardless, I was determined to do just that. Breathing a little and shifting my auburn hair from my eyes I smiled the best I could. “My name is Schwarzer, Chris Schwarzer. It’s a pleasure to meet you all.” I say bowing to the class.
Satisfied with the introduction, Aizawa nodded to the spare seat in the room. Taking that as an order I nodded back and headed over to my seat sitting down and getting my books out. Curiously I turned to the seat next to me noticing one of the girls in the class and gave her a slight smile as Aizawa began his lesson.

Idea 2: One Piece.
(I’m not so sure how I want to approach this one, however I’ll jump in and give it a go. Much like the MHA starter this character will have the power of Persuasion. Having eaten the Persua-Persua fruit. I’m thinking for now either he makes a crew with characters from the story, or he joins the Straw Hats and goes on adventures with them. (Obviously this doesn’t have to be canon and completely made up as we go.) Either way I’m super keen on this since I love One Piece to death. I also have a list of potential crewmates I can send!)
Starter: Adventure! Freedom, Treasure and Booze! These were all the things a pirate needed in life. And exactly what every pirate set out to obtain. Two years after the events at Marineford where Strawhat Luffy himself took on the government with an army behind him, and the Whitebeard Pirates at his side in order to rescue his brother… And two years since I felt inspired enough in his absence to set forth on my own.
I gathered up a strong crew and made a name for myself. My alias, Silver Tongue Schwarzer, is a nice title which rolled off the tongue. I had no issues amassing a sizable bounty at 90 million berries. While it wasn’t as grand as other pirates, the world government saw enough of a threat in my power to provide a bounty that large. Of course, had my powers been widely known it’d have rocketed higher.
So then why was I now sitting at a bar on the Sabaody Archipelago, alone and staring into the amber liquid of booze in a mug? It was simple. Mutiny. Those whom I had trusted most among my crew turned on a dime and after reaching the Archipelago they threw me overboard and turned around. To where I didn’t know and quite frankly after their betrayal I didn’t care.
“Damn them. Damn them all.” I muttered under my breath cursing as I downed the rest of my contents. “Another!” I called out to the barkeep who approached to fill my mug.
“You’re looking a little rough there, are you sure you need another?” The bartender asked as he took the mug from me.
“I don’t have anything else to do. I don’t even know what else to do with myself.” I responded grumpily. “Just fill it up.” I demanded.
“Right.” The bartender responded as he filled it with more of the alcoholic amber liquid and slid It in front of me.

Idea 9: Bleach
(So a new human soul reaper makes it into the soul society. His power isn’t great to begin with simply being enough to take out the average hollow. And with the resurgence of the hollow threat the Soul Society has offered to give him a substitute badge to take out those hollows deemed too small for the soul society to handle. Maybe he’s paired up with someone or someone like Orihime steps in to help him grow.)
Starter: Another boring day at university followed by a night of boring patrols. With all the big hollows being taken care of by “Full-fledged” Soul reapers it didn’t leave me with much opportunity to train against bigger enemies.
At least that’s what I thought originally. A few blocks from me there was a rift which opened up and the pure spiritual pressure that came from the hollow that stepped out of it was enough to make me feel as though gravity itself was pushing against me.
It was hard to breathe and even harder to stand as my hand clutched my blade in my left hand tightly. I shook my head as I heard the loud roar of the large breast and could even see its towering form from my position.
It was nothing close to a menos, but it was enough to tower over a three-story building for sure. “Damn.” I hissed to myself as I knew there were no soul reapers around at this stage. With a threat this big I was sure they’d come, but until then it was up to me to buy some time and make sure no humans or souls were consumed.
Pushing myself forward I reached the park that the Hollow had appeared in. Thankfully the park was deserted at this time of night.
When he saw me, the hollow let out a low growl. “You don’t smell like much, but you’ll do as a snack.” The hollow commented as it charged forward.
“Just evade, buy time.” I commented to myself as I began to leap around the battlefield looking a bit like and feeling like an idiot.
The hollow toyed with me a little while enjoying the chase before it seemed to get bored. Just when I was thinking I was fast enough to keep avoiding it the creature’s mouth opened and its forked tongue shot out at me with faster speed than I was anticipating. I raised my blade to defend myself but it was a feeble attempt and I knew it wouldn’t be enough.

Idea 20: Persona (Girls from 3, 4 and 5).
(So basically this is just gonna be a fairly interesting idea. My character along with the girls of persona 3, 4 and 5 get stranded in this strange dimension where they have to fight their way out to make it back to their own worlds.)
Starter: It all happened so fast. One minute I was in a team meeting with my group discussing what we should use our newfound powers for next. And the next second, I blinked and I was in some kind of strange room.
One by one more people were added into this room. Some of which were dressed in some elaborate costumes. And I frowned as I looked at each one of them, all of which I didn’t recognize at all and judging by their looks they didn’t recognize me. Although before we managed to introduce ourselves a booming voice broke the silence.
“Welcome all!” The clearly male voice commented. “To the room of my design.” He added on. “I’m sure you’re all confused. And no doubt you’ll want to return back to your homes. However, to do so you’ll need to enter my labyrinth. “Make it to the end and you’ll all return home.” The voice explained.
“Of course, this maze isn’t without its dangers. Enemies, much like you encounter on a regular basis will roam these halls. As well as beasts of my own design far stronger than those… Fear not though for every checkpoint you reach this room will become more furnished with amenities. For now, you simply have beds to rest on.” He said as there was an audible click and the dark room was suddenly lit up. Sure, enough there were rows of beds all lined up one for each person to sleep on.
“When you’re ready to test yourself, step through this door and enter the first level of the labyrinth.” He declared as a large door appeared and opened up in front of them.
For a while nobody said anything, probably all too stunned to even process the information.
“So, I’m guessing we’re all persona users given what he just said.” I spoke up. “I guess we should probably start with names and strengths, right?” I questioned the group. “I’m Chris Schwarzer.” I say. “My persona, Seraph focuses on ranged combat.” I explained.

Idea 21: Final Fantasy VII. (Others Can be done! :))
(So this one will be set in the world of Final Fantasy VII, however if you’re looking to do others, I’m more than happy to do so! I’m familiar with them all. Mainly 7 and 14 But this one will be focused on FF VII, since Jessie, Yuffie, Tifa and Aerith are best girls! If you wanted to mix this up with FF 14 and have them transported to Eorzea we can make something up!)
Starter: Midgar. Easy place to find work given you were capable enough. There were a lot of monsters prowling the highways between sectors and a lot of people willing to pay mercenaries to get the job done.
“Hiyah!” I called out as I cleaved my blade through the neck of a monster severing its head from the rest of its body and slaying it instantly. It was a tough fight but I overcame it. I panted a little as my muscles relaxed and I slid my blade back into its sheath. The job I was on was simple, kill the beast and return its head to a barkeep in sector 5. I scooped the beast’s head up into a burlap sack and hoisted it over my shoulder before I headed back to the bar.
By this point I was a rather well-known mercenary. Jobs exterminating monsters were easy to come by and easy enough to complete. Plus, the payout paid for my room and for most of my meals. As I entered the bar I headed up to the counter and placed the bloody burlap sack on the counter. “Got it done.” I say to the barkeep.
The older man, his hair and beard white with age frowned a little and looked at the bag. The blood splatter on the counter… which he had just cleaned was enough to let him know that I was serious and he placed the sack full of gil on the counter.
“Thanks.” I say as I picked up the purse. It was lighter than I expected, but even if it was short I wasn’t about to start an argument. In return to my manners, I got a short grunt back.
“Don’tcha forget about disposin of that thing, I ain’t want it.” He said waving his hand dismissively towards the bag.
“Right, I’ll get on that.” I say as I grabbed the sack.
“An there was a woman lookin for you.” He stated. “Said she’d be waitin for you in buildin next to the orphanage.” He stated.
“Right, thanks.” I said to the man and headed out, disposing quickly of the severed head in the sack before I headed up to the building in question. I frowned as I peered inside. My eyes looking around for any sign of someone out of place. It did seem a little crowded in the building after all. I was about to announce myself when I felt a hand tap my shoulder and turned to see who it was.

Those are by no means all of the starters and given the size limits of post limits I figured I’d narrow it down to some of the ones I like the most! Feel free to ask me about any of the others! Thanks so much for reading this and I hope to hear from some of you soon! :)

"Attack?!? 7 ships vs an Armada..." Amere says a loud
"I don't know if your tactical genius or a fullhearty fool, alright cutie let's do this." She turns from you a smirk on her mouth "it might just confuse them and cause them not to notice the Archon approaching"
"Battle group, engine ahead full, we need to move inside their shields before they are fully deployed, and still taking on ships from the surface. They think this little battle group can hurt them. Let's show them they are wrong. GLORY TO THE DOMINION" Amere says into the com
You see the ships begin to accelerate, Amere's ship sending out a blinding neon blue light flash. You lose sight for a moment.
You decide to stay close to the frigate losing track of where the battle group has gone. Disoriented by the size of the enemy fleet.
You spot Ajax and the other corsair from the surface soaring ahead, heading to strafe the lead Arbiter ship.
Not wanting to miss out you accelerate and speed towards them.
Exiting protected shield radius
Your computer announces as you turn. Behind you to see Amere's ship heading around the side of the arbiter fleet away from you. You exit her protective shield you are about to get hit with more erotic cannons
Never mind that, you are a soldier of Maraikes and you can resist and hold out. You accelerate your ship trailing just behind Ajax and the other corsair.
Then it hits you, a wave of neverending erotic scenes and images
They blink through your brain faster than you can think
You find it hard to focus, you find it impossible to pilot. What were your thinking attack this fleet. You could barely stand it on the surface. You eyes begin to roll back and you feel your tongue slide out of your mouth as you go numb
EMERGENCY MANEUVERS ACTIVATED, DEPLOYING COUNTER MEASURES
Off to your peor side you see the other corsair about to be hit. Quickly you close the gap until their proximity alarms go off and they shoot away from you.
Energy signal warning, Energy weapon locked
Flicking your wrist you enter a cork screw towards the cannon. The beam fires and you narrowly swirl your ship around the shot.
Diving hard at the ship you unload your energy beams.. The cannon is destroyed as it drops it's shield to fire again.
Releasing your only ship busting torpedo at the perfect moment it enters before the shield redeploys.
You pull HARD out of the dive bomb maneuver, banking to the right as another beam shoots directly where you were.
3...2...1.... An explosions erupts behind you as the bow of the Arbiter ship erupts with atmosphere and fire. You see thebpowe go off to the bridge and unload your energy beams on it while the shield is down.
The bridge explodes and the ship lists into a frigate nearby.
You pull back hard and climb towards the Dominion formation, the ship exploding behind you. You don't look back
More ships take aim at you
Energy signals warning, Energy Weapon locked
Just then explosions wreck havoc across the decks of the Arbiter ships that had trained their energy beams on you.
"Yyyyaaahhhhoooooooooooo, we managed to detonate their energy drives on the reprogramming ships worked!!" Ajax yells " let's get in there while they are disoriented ACE!!! GLORY TO THE DOMINION!!!"
Ajax forms up on your wing and you both begin an attack run on the capital ship infront of you.
You destroy the bridge in the first battle ship and unload a barrage of missiles at another
Swooping under the cover the disable ship, Ajax and you train your weapons on the engines of another and FIRE
The impacts cause the engines to shudder and explode disabling a frigate clas
"YYYAYAYYAAHOOOOOO, THAT'LL TEACH THEM!!" Ajax yells again
The Arbiter fleet turns more weapons towards you, energy signatures light up your display about to finish the job
Just then a ship to your left explodes as a beam of neon blue light cuts through it, Amere's Frigate crests through the explosion like it's riding a wave of destruction. Soaring across the engagement in a fury raining destruction in its wake.
Reeling and discombobulated the enemy armada turns and focus on the biggest threat Amere. You notice she is heading towards an asteroid belt away from the planet, and away from the moon.
Just as the Arbiters are about to fire the full force of their weapons on Amere's Frigate
A DOZEN NEON PINK BEAMS slice through the Arbiter fleet as fighter wings rain pandemonium onto the Arbiters
Your com comes on, your hair standing on edge, A sharp imperious voice fills your cabin and it seems space itself
"This is the Archon, Give them no quarter, the fate of the Dominion hinges upon this day!! Ye Arbiters look upon our might and quake!!! Here we stand! HERE WE BREAK THEM!!
GLORY TO THE DOMINION!!!!"
Your ship rattles as every ship com alights and chants
GLORY TO THE DOMINION!! GLORY TO THE ARCHON!!
GLORY TO THE DOMINION!! GLORY TO THR ARCHON!!
The Arbiters fleet falls into disarray completely caught off guard and flanked by the Archon's arrival
Their Capital ships begin exploding in a wave of destruction as you look up, the Archon's Flagship flies over head filling your field of vision
"This is sex-wing Theta forming up on your six. The Archon task is with making a cannon run through the enemy armada. We've a payload of astral torpedoes." The wing commander says
"Come on ACE let's go wreck some havoc on this bastards!" Ajax chimes in. You see him with a wing of Sex-wings trailing him
Alright let's do this, corkscrew down we are going in
What follows is bedlam as the Archon's Armada deals and takes blow after blow. You, Ajax and your sex-wings dice bombs through the enemy armada plugging them full of torpedoes explosions follow in your wake as you wind and weave through the Canyons between ships.
Never in your wildest dreams did you ever imagine you would be a space fighter pilot... Sweat and thrill fill you. Your adrenaline pumping. You land safely onto the Archon's Flag ship. Your Exhausted, tired, the deck crews cheer as you step out of your ship
GLORY TO THR DOMINION!! GLORY TO MARAIKES!! GLORY TO THE SOLDIER!!
Heady and filled joy you swell in victory
The Arbiters are fleeing!! The Archon has routed them!!
You sit down on the flight deck, exhaustion overwhelming you
You smile... Victory...Glory... All yours...

My whole life, I have been most proud of one thing. My marriage. I tell everyone I get a Chance to my story book love affair with my wife of 26 years.
We became good friends as Seniors in HS to start the year. Her locker was next to mine so we talked 3 minutes 6 times a day and then as luck would have it she sat in front of me for assigned seating in 2 classes plus she was on the Tennis Team with me.
We became so good friends we started to go out to eat and the movies that fall. I was a super shy guy back then. At this point, I have fallen in love with this beautiful 18 year old angel! But I don't have the guts to tell her how I feel so we go on the first semester this way.
As the winter break came (2weeks off) I called her on a Saturday afternoon. I said we had to have a more serious talk. She said ok. I told her we could not be friends anymore. She said why? I said because I am in love with you and I want more and I can't stand being around you as just a Friend and watch you go gaga over this boy and that boy. It breaks my heart to see that so I have to part ways unless in your heart you feel more from me than just friendship, maybe there is a chance for us as a couple?
She said I just want to be your friend. I'm sorry. I always just thought of you as a friend.
Devistated, half crying, I tell her that in that case I have to end our friendship and relationship now because it is too painful. I have met your mom and your older sister. I like your family. It's just something I can't torture myself over anymore, I'm sorry Beth. I have to let you go now. Also, I will be requesting a locker change so we don't have to see each other. She said really? I said yes, it has to be this way if you don't want to be my girl friend. She said ok. I said ok. We hung up.
Winter break comes and I hardly come out of my room for a week. Just devastated. The love of my young life, the only girl I have every truly loved rejected me.
My mom noticed. After about 5 days of this she knocks on my door and comes in and says Toby, I know something is wrong. You don't act like this normally. What is it?
My mom new I liked Beth. I brought her home to meet my family. I mean, we lived 3 minutes apart. Anyway, I explained to my mom the whole story down to the recent let down on the phone ending everything.
She could see her boy was devastated. She also liked Beth with her son. So she leaves the room for a few minutes and comes back with a tiny box with a bow on it. Inside was a mini gold alarm clock. It was so golden and cute and beautiful at the same time. She told me to get in my dad's truck and drive over there and just wish her a Merry Christmas and hand her this. Then walk away and come home. No card. Just this.
Reluctantly, I did. And when I got there 2 other boys had just come and gone giving her gifts. She was popular and beautiful so the boys were after her.
I walk the long slow walk to the door and her mom answers and says Toby, great to see you! Where have you been? I said, you will have to talk to Beth about that. Could you get her for a second? She said sure.
Beth comes to the door and I say hi. She says hi. I say, I know what I said a week ago. But I can't stop thinking about you and us and the amazing life we can have together. I handed her the pretty little box with a bow on it. She opens it immediately and sees the clock. I had set it to the exact time we called it quits on the phone. She noticed. I said, well I guess I need to get going. If you ever change your mind my heart will always have a place for you. And I walked away.
Christmas comes and goes. We still have a week before school is back. Then I get a call. It's Beth. I said hi, I'm shocked your calling me what is up? She said in a real sweet voice that the clock is the best gift she has ever received. And everytime she looks at it she thinks of all the great times we had together. Then she realizes she does love me and professes it on the phone. Tells me how sorry she was to hurt me. It just took me being away for a week and that clock to really trigger her emotions.
I said this is the single greatest news I have ever heard! Can I come over right now and give you a big hug? She said, why don't we go on our first official date as BF and GF that night. I said deal. Your choice, just tell me when to pick you up. So we go out to eat and just talk for hours. I take her home and before she gets out to go to her front door I lean over and she leans over and we kiss for the first time. My first ever kiss! Sparks flew. She then went inside.
From there we were hand and hand from the start of the 2nd semester. I took her to Homecomming as friends, but I took her to Senior Prom as my GF!
We go on to stay together from me being 17 and her 18 all through college until we got married at 21 and 22.
Fast forward 26 years of marriage and 2 boys and 30 years of a loving relationship. She tells me last Friday night that she can't believe she Dated Chris Romack as a sophomore. I said what? He was a senior when I was a freshman. On the tennis team with us. So I knew him well. And he was a creepy guy when it came to girls. All he would talk about amongst us guys was how hot the 14 and 15 year-olds were on the team and there is nothing better than fucking a Virgin. Another senior friend of mine looks over to him in disgust and says, man, you are going to go to Jail soon if you don't stay in your own lane. See he was 18. He was openly talking about statutory rape with 14 and 15 year-olds. So that's the Chris I know.
So I ask, but you told me in HS you went on a couple of dates with him as a Freshman and he kissed you and smelled and tasted like smoke. She said it was yuky, and she got out and went inside and never went on a date with him again. So my whole 30 years with her I have been proudly saying that I have been with my wife since senior year in HS when I was 17. Nobody thought we would last and I am proud to say that we were both each other's first ever boyfriend and girlfriend and every Romantic and relationship milestones we hit together. 2 virgins. How pure is that? It like one in a million or more.
But she casually says, well I did more than a few dates. I became his GF as a sophomore and he was a Freshman at the local college. They were BF and GF for 6 months.
It's like a sledge hammer hit me over the head. I have told anyone who would listen the last 26 years our love story and how I was her first BF and she was my first GF. First Kiss was with her. First everything was with her. We are like a fairytale story that just does not happen anymore. And people always loved hearing me tell the story. Something so Pure like that is just so rare to find and happen these days or even back in 1993-94.
So I tell her that's not what you told me when I was 17. I specifically asked if you had ever had a BF and you said no. Just went on some group dates with guys I knew and then A couple of dates with Chris Romack who I really knew as a slime ball. But as I knew it, they kissed once and it was yuk city and that was that. She said no, for 6 months this College Freshman was with my 15 year old sophomore wife. My head just starts spinning. All I can think is how dirty minded he was and how he was eying girls like her as a senior the year before. NOW YOU WERE HIS ACTUAL GF FOR 6 MONTHS? I spent the whole Fri through Monday in a haze. My mind just went to the darkest places. I just knew he got in her pants because that's all he was about. And she was an immature 15 year old. Easy pray. So I began to imagine them having sex. Then she broke it off after 6 months and had no sex again until me.
Then I remember back to Aug 20 1994 at 11pm at night. She snuck over my parents house after I had been gone all day at Lalapalooza in Dallas.
This was the night I assumed we both lost our virginity because that's what she always maybe me believe. But then I REMEBER she did not bleed after sex. Which I thought was common for virgins due to the breakage of their hymen. So then my mind goes haywire. I assume she had sex with him. And I was not her first BF or first sexual partner like I always proudly professed to anyone that would listen. And she would sit right there and let me say that for 26 years and never once correct me.
Until Friday.
I talked to my Mentor who has been married twice and is 67 years old. And I talked to my dad who is 76 years old. Their advice was mixed. My dad said it was no big deal. She was a kid at the time. Your mom was wild as a 15 year old sleeping around. She even cheated on me when we were married. So this seems like nothing to me. Forget about it.
That was absolutely no help.
My mentor on the other hand understood perfectly. He had heard our story many times and had even told it to others about his best friend and how rare of a marriage he has.
He advised me to sit her down and not be angry because technically she and I did not really know each other at 15. But the fact she let you believe for 30 years now you were her only BF is a bit of a problem. He said to go to her Facebook page and look at her friends. See if that guy was one of her friends. Sure enough he was one of her friends and yet not friends with me. Very strange and uncomfortable. And she was friends with the 3 other boys she went on group dates with, so she said. I tell that to my mentor and best friend. He says, look, this is a small problem but a problem. And with someone with your disease news like this is probably 10xs as impact full for you because of your disease. And I totally get that. So you have to sit jmher down and explain what all this has meant and done to you and see if she will come clean about the worrisome sex at 15 aspect.
So now the talk. I do it with no anger at all. Only with heartfelt sadness. And she could see the emotion, fear, tears in my face when I asked her "You have to be 100% honest with me here, that's all I ask. I explain our storybook life to her as I have told it 1000's of times in the past. I then said I have been telling and living under false pretenses. Not only was I not your first BF but I have to ask because I knew Chris well, did you and him have any type of sexual relationship at 15 that you are just to scared to tell me about because you know how much that would hurt me and how our storybook life has changed.
She grabs my hand and says: "Toby, I don't know why I told you that at 18. I don't even remember it fully, but you are describing it like it was yesterday so I know it's true what I said. Listen, I was probably embarrassed to have been a GF to a Freshman in College when I was only 15. That's all I can think to tell you as to why I did not make it clear you were not my first BF. But listen, we kissed a few times and yes it was yuky because he smoked. But nothing sexual ever happened. I promise. I really don't consider him my first True Love. I did not love him at all. I was just giddy that a popular senior from the year before was now a college boy who liked little old me. So please stop worrying. You were my first true love, my first sexual partner and only sexual partner my entire life. So get those horrible memories and thoughts out of your head."
I said, ok but you did not bleed after we had sex on Aug 20 1994. And she was shocked I knew the exact date. She said it was dark, and she went home after and never noticed any blood but there could have been on my dark panties I just could not see or tell in the dark. But I was a virgin I promise. Our marriage is still fairytale.
So I am 90% past it and at ease because she told me in a way that I could see in her face and eyes she was telling the truth.
But 10% is devistated because one fact I have spouted all these years is not true. I was not her first BF and she kept that from me for 30 years.
It really depresses me still and I don't talk to my doc for a few months.
I'm on meds for severe major depression, PTSD, and Anxiety Disorder. And Adderall to get me going in the AM because the dosages of my night meds are heavy sedating. So I am on 4 meds. It's controlled with the meds and the quarterly doc visits. But this triggered something I can't shake.
I was lied to for 30 years. And I a fool to have been spouting out about how perfect and pure our life together has been. I have to now start the story as we started going out in HS senior year, I took her to Honecomming as a friend and Prom as her BF. And it just goes from there.
My question to the group is this:

1. Am I wrong to feel this depressed after finding all this out 30 years later?
   
2. Am I right that she should have told me the truth when I asked her when I was 17 and she was 18? Or even when we were 20 or 21 before marriage?
   

I feel a little bit like a moron and a bit betrayed.
Please give me your thoughts. I am going nuts here still.
I would post the picture of the little gold clock. It sits next to her bed on her night stand.
Thanks,
Toby

Hi. First honor mode here. I'm playing this savefile very carefully, abusing flee-revive-steal from wither tactic on hard fights. I was in Zhentarim Hideout, talked to Zarys. She ordered me to kill Rugan because I stole the chest. I refused to do that, even though I wondered what was going to happen later: she and all the squad attacked.
One of them threw a fire botte into barrels and 3/4 my mates died. I was going to split my hair, BUT I saw my Karlach was far enough to flee the battle and revived my team. When I returned to the hideout, nobody was there.
So, I know that Titanstring bow is so powerful and wanted, but how do I get it now?

I've been wanting to purchase a bow for a while now, and the Samick Discovery bow caught my eye. I'm not interested in adding stabilizers or sights, I just want a bare bow to practice archery. I heard many people say that the bow is mainly designed for elevated rest shooting, however I saw online that some people made modifications for an off-the-shelf setup.
-How do I make an off the shelf setup? -Can I add calf hair to make the off-the-shelf setup? [What material is best to make the rest?] -Will the curved shelf affect the shot?

"Attack?!? 7 ships vs an Armada..." Amere says a loud
"I don't know if your tactical genius or a fullhearty fool, alright cutie let's do this." She turns from you a smirk on her mouth "it might just confuse them and cause them not to notice the Archon approaching"
"Battle group, engine ahead full, we need to move inside their shields before they are fully deployed, and still taking on ships from the surface. They think this little battle group can hurt them. Let's show them they are wrong. GLORY TO THE DOMINION" Amere says into the com
You see the ships begin to accelerate, Amere's ship sending out a blinding neon blue light flash. You lose sight for a moment.
You decide to stay close to the frigate losing track of where the battle group has gone. Disoriented by the size of the enemy fleet.
You spot Ajax and the other corsair from the surface soaring ahead, heading to strafe the lead Arbiter ship.
Not wanting to miss out you accelerate and speed towards them.
Exiting protected shield radius
Your computer announces as you turn. Behind you to see Amere's ship heading around the side of the arbiter fleet away from you. You exit her protective shield you are about to get hit with more erotic cannons
Never mind that, you are a soldier of Maraikes and you can resist and hold out. You accelerate your ship trailing just behind Ajax and the other corsair.
Then it hits you, a wave of neverending erotic scenes and images
They blink through your brain faster than you can think
You find it hard to focus, you find it impossible to pilot. What were your thinking attack this fleet. You could barely stand it on the surface. You eyes begin to roll back and you feel your tongue slide out of your mouth as you go numb
EMERGENCY MANEUVERS ACTIVATED, DEPLOYING COUNTER MEASURES
Off to your peor side you see the other corsair about to be hit. Quickly you close the gap until their proximity alarms go off and they shoot away from you.
Energy signal warning, Energy weapon locked
Flicking your wrist you enter a cork screw towards the cannon. The beam fires and you narrowly swirl your ship around the shot.
Diving hard at the ship you unload your energy beams.. The cannon is destroyed as it drops it's shield to fire again.
Releasing your only ship busting torpedo at the perfect moment it enters before the shield redeploys.
You pull HARD out of the dive bomb maneuver, banking to the right as another beam shoots directly where you were.
3...2...1.... An explosions erupts behind you as the bow of the Arbiter ship erupts with atmosphere and fire. You see thebpowe go off to the bridge and unload your energy beams on it while the shield is down.
The bridge explodes and the ship lists into a frigate nearby.
You pull back hard and climb towards the Dominion formation, the ship exploding behind you. You don't look back
More ships take aim at you
Energy signals warning, Energy Weapon locked
Just then explosions wreck havoc across the decks of the Arbiter ships that had trained their energy beams on you.
"Yyyyaaahhhhoooooooooooo, our traps on the reprogramming ships worked!!" Ajax yells " let's get in there while they are disoriented ACE!!! GLORY TO THE DOMINION!!!"
Ajax forms up on your wing and you both begin an attack run on the capital ship infront of you.
You destroy the bridge in the first battle ship and unload a barrage of missiles at another
Swooping under the cover the disable ship, Ajax and you train your weapons on the engines of another and FIRE
The impacts cause the engines to shudder and explode disabling a frigate clas
"YYYAYAYYAAHOOOOOO, THAT'LL TEACH THEM!!" Ajax yells again
The Arbiter fleet turns more weapons towards you, energy signatures light up your display about to finish the job
Just then a ship to your left explodes as a beam of neon blue light cuts through it, Amere's Frigate crests through the explosion like it's riding a wave of destruction. Soaring across the engagement in a fury raining destruction in its wake.
Reeling and discombobulated the enemy armada turns and focus on the biggest threat Amere. You notice she is heading towards an asteroid belt away from the planet, and away from the moon.
Just as the Arbiters are about to fire the full force of their weapons on Amere's Frigate
A DOZEN NEON PINK BEAMS slice through the Arbiter fleet as fighter wings rain pandemonium onto the Arbiters
Your com comes on, your hair standing on edge, A sharp imperious voice fills your cabin and it seems space itself
"This is the Archon, Give them no quarter, the fate of the Dominion hinges upon this day!! Ye Arbiters look upon our might and quake!!! Here we stand! HERE WE BREAK THEM!!
GLORY TO THE DOMINION!!!!"
Your ship rattles as every ship com alights and chants
GLORY TO THE DOMINION!! GLORY TO THE ARCHON!!
GLORY TO THE DOMINION!! GLORY TO THR ARCHON!!
The Arbiters fleet falls into disarray completely caught off guard and flanked by the Archon's arrival
Their Capital ships begin exploding in a wave of destruction as you look up, the Archon's Flagship flies over head filling your field of vision
"This is sex-wing Theta forming up on your six. The Archon task is with making a cannon run through the enemy armada. We've a payload of astral torpedoes." The wing commander says
"Come on ACE let's go wreck some havoc on this bastards!" Ajax chimes in. You see him with a wing of Sex-wings trailing him
Alright let's do this, corkscrew down we are going in
What follows is bedlam as the Archon's Armada deals and takes blow after blow. You, Ajax and your sex-wings dice bombs through the enemy armada plugging them full of torpedoes explosions follow in your wake as you wind and weave through the Canyons between ships.
Never in your wildest dreams did you ever imagine you would be a space fighter pilot... Sweat and thrill fill you. Your adrenaline pumping. You land safely onto the Archon's Flag ship. Your Exhausted, tired, the deck crews cheer as you step out of your ship
GLORY TO THR DOMINION!! GLORY TO MARAIKES!! GLORY TO THE SOLDIER!!
Heady and filled joy you swell in victory
The Arbiters are fleeing!! The Archon has routed them!!
You sit down on the flight deck, exhaustion overwhelming you
You smile... Victory...Glory... All yours...

I love Avav maxs music so much and I want her to succeed but girl needs to change her team. I know she’s big in Europe but from her interviews I get the vibe that she wants to be a huge superstar like Gaga. I think her music is great and she’s had a few songs blow up on Tik tok but she’s lacking in a few areas.

1. Public image/Branding Her current image feels very inauthentic and I think that’s mainly because of her hair. It just feels like she’s trying to have a thing but it falls flat. I understand having a signature style but the half short/long does not look good. I would also change her hair colour only because I think it washes her out. She doesn’t have a distinct style outside her hair.
   
2. Personality When I think of Ava Max nothing really comes to mind (besides the hair style which isn’t great) I think she would greatly benefit from getting a bit more personal and letting people get to know her.
   
3. Promotion She needs to get out there more. Live performance, Televised interviews, radio shows, photoshoots. I think this is her main problem. Her promotion isn’t the greatest and it’s definitely bring her down. Even if she just posted on her own socials asking fans for questions for a Q&A literally anything.
   

What do y’all think?
Disclaimer: I really do like Ava so no hate to her just some thinks I think are lacking for her and her team

Hi everyone
I just need to vent. Almost 6 months since my wedding, and I still harbor so much anger about my bridal party and wedding!
MOH: Maid of Honour MIL: Mother in law SIL: Sister in Law BIL: Brother in law
The bridal party, I had wanted to have a lunch with parents, aunties grannies etc and then go to a strip club (hubby approved) but my moh said she wasn't comfortable with that because she is a lesbian, I said OK no problem, it is a want, not a need, we can do something else. I even contributed money towards whatever they needed. Then they pick me up and 5 minutes in, I realize we are driving to my mom's house. I think, great the lunch will be at my mom's.
BUT NO! It's just a lunch with games that women in 1950 would have tittered and giggled at. Like tying a tennis ball on a string and seeing who could hit the most bottles over. And then my moh takes me home. Even my mother was confused, she thought there was a part 2.
I thought we would at least go to a bar after and knock back some drinks. Nope, nothing. Home time and goodbye. And then I get home and his crew had played laser tag and we're having drinks at our braai area. They even made him a shirt! I sounds silly, but I just ran to my room and burst out crying. Luckily the boys were there for me, waited for hubby to help calm me and then had lots of alcohol.
And then the wedding I may just have to do in list form.
*I had to drop a bridesmaid because she wasn't showing up, ignoring me for no reason and then pretending that she wasn't ignoring me. Thank goodness for sil, she stepped in the week before the wedding.
*A friend I met because he's a photographer insisted on doing our photos, and because we had a tiny budget, we accepted. There are no photos of me walking down the aisle without a screen full of sun flares, no photos of the wedding kiss where he dipped me, and so many blurry photos. Plus, even after waiting a month to get them back, not one was edited! I'm an estate agent, I take photos and edit them to make the colour's pop, or just make them look prettier, I know what an edited photo is. That wasn't it. *My hair was short, so I got clip in extensions. The hairdresser said she knows how to put them in so you can't tell they are extensions. TALK NONSENSE! Going through my photos for the first time yesterday (I've been so sad about the day I haven't until now) I realized how bad it looks. Had someone said something, I could have fixed it. But no, it looks like someone has clipped in a couple of dreads into shoulder length hair. They were supposed to be curls.
*My bil drove me to the wedding because we couldn't stretch the budget to include a hire car of any sort, which I appreciate, but on the drive, the people with you are supposed to dance to music, talk, laugh, joke, anything to help the bride keep calm. No, it was just the radio and my thoughts.
*I wanted a photo of my bridesmaids putting on my shoes, but when I broke my toe, I thought it would be funny to have the same photo, but with them decorating my moonboot with stickers and gems. Even got the stuff, only for my mom to lose them! And then going through the photo, and there is a photo of sil putting on mil shoes in that way!
*All my bridesmaids wakes down the aisle like they were not interested in being there.
*my niece kept duck facing in photos and nephew kept giving people bunny ears, so multiple photos are ruined.
*The dj kept asking for recommendions on what music to play a week before the wedding. I said, just the general music on (local radio station) and with some (recommended bands) in between. Nope. Awful music from 8 years ago! Plus, the song we set for my to walk down the aisle to? He forgot with one to play, so he played something else.
*The cake... Heartbreak on a board. I was very specific about what I wanted. The feature piece being a bow made of fondant. I spoke to multiple bakers, and then lady was adament she could do it. Omg, this was awful! The top tier was messy and then the bow was RIDICULOUS! the middle knot of the bow was almost as big as the sides and half the size I showed her. And the bottom ribbon bit was about half an inch wide and 2 inches long. Not the thick flowy ribbon I had shown her! Plus, the delivery guy demanded a cash payment at delivery, which was never discussed. I was waiting for a message to say I can do a bank transfer.
*My father was Drunk before we left to go to the wedding (luckily I had already said my son would walk me, not him) but he was still drunk by the time we went to photos where he got loud and belligerent.
*For our presents, we got 4 gift cards and 3 presents. My mom did later give us a lot of presents, but surely from 80 guests, it's OK to expect a bit more than that? I know it's not about the presents, but that was a slap in the face.
*There was no dancing and having fun after dinner at the reception, because the minute I threw the bouquet, 80% of guests literally lined up to say goodbye. By 7:30, it was myself hubby, my mom and dad, and like 5 friends. By 8pm it was just myself, hubby and the venue staff. No guests at all.
Now you may think, at least the honeymoon was good right? No, we went to a movie the night after and legitimately got locked in. Apparently 2 people snuck into the movie we bought for, and it was just us, so when they left, staff saw 2 people leave and didn't think to check the movie theater, so they locked up and left. I can't see in the dark, plus with a broken toe, I had to wait for the lights to turn on. So we literally got locked in the movie cinema. We only got 2 nights for our honeymoon, wedding night included, because we have kids, so that meant the honeymoon night was rightly ruined. The we go to fetch the kids and open wedding presents at my parents house. Just for my dad to be drunk again, shocker, and make the event of me and my husband opening presents about him. I have only seen him once since then and refused to speak with him because it's been 17 years of this and I can't anymore.
My son, daughter, husband, mil and sil are the only ones that tried their best to make me happy at least. But it goes to show who are in my corner.
I sound ungrateful for good people and good things that happened, but with 6 months of not taking about all the above, I needed to get it out.
But my husband keeps saying that while the above is bad, at least it was an amazing wedding. Yes there were good moments, but how can that be a successful wedding?

i started studying islam before ramadan and reverted around 3 weeks ago. before i became a muslimah i used to wear bows in my hair regularly and was thinking of adding one to the back of my khimar because i have seen videos on insta also but my close (also a recent muslim revert) friend told me that it is haram to do so but when doing research they never bring up accessories such as bows,ribbons etc. only have i heard and read about jewelry, perfume, and flashy or inappropriate clothing. can someone please find me a verse from the qu’ran or sunnah that says it is not permissible?

I’m auditioning for my senior production of Grease (I’m going for Sandy) this weekend and I’m freaking out. My audition song sounds great, my monologue is great, I’m just so worried with how I look.
I’m 5’9, brown hair, blue eyes and am mid size. I don’t look the part but I’ve been told by many people I need to go for Sandy because I sound the part. Our vocal director of the show even offered to coach me because she’d love to work with me (I already have a vocal teacher) because she adores my voice.
Should I be worried with looks or should I trust that casting would be made on talent alone? I wish the standard wasn’t short skinny girl and tall cute guy. It’s so messed up and I don’t feel like I fit in anywhere. (Also what should I wear? Is a white hair bow, white top, blue leggings and white sneakers too much? (It’s a dance call too))

KARA: DAUGHTER OF KRYPTON

Kara wasn’t ready to face the image of her mother after so long. It had been over a year since the artificial intelligence program had been activated, last seeing activity since before Kara’s excursion to Starhaven. But, now that she was finished installing the holographic transmitters within her laboratory and office in National City — with the intelligence hub, processors, and central unit taking up a small amount of space in a closed off side room — she wasn’t quite sure how she felt.
She stared up at the final emitter, a small device attached to the ceiling, and sighed. One small part of her never wanted to reactivate the AI, the sight of her mother’s face puppeteered by a machine that couldn’t truly replicate the warmth that Alura exuded. Kara knew that the data stored in the AI was the basis of her entire business plan, extracting the knowledge it had to transform and adapt it to Earth’s needs.
She didn’t have the information on her own; if she was going to get it for herself, she would have to go through the machine. She could have called Nia, to have a friend present, or Jon, for family, but she couldn’t bring herself to bring them with her. She needed to do it alone — even if it was mere moments before an interview would take place.
Arms crossed, she tapped her finger over her bicep, anxiously talking herself through the process. There was no other way to go forward than to go through her biggest obstacle. She took a deep breath.
“Alura,” she called out, watching a small light on the emitters around the room blink for a split second before the form of her long-dead mother appeared before her eyes, a kind smile and perfect features shining back into Kara’s eyes. They were features she saw in the mirror every morning.
“Kara, my dear,” Alura began, though her smile soon faded. “You look older… How long has it been?”
“Only a year,” Kara said, a newfound fatigue extending through her voice as she shifted her stance into a more relaxed posture. “It’s been a long year.”
“Oh, my poor girl,” Alura said, taking a step toward Kara, putting her hand up to caress Kara’s face. Instead, Kara stepped back, hand up to tell the hologram to stop.
“That’s not… I don’t need you for that,” despite its existence being that of code, the hologram appeared hurt, her face sinking as she searched for some sort of answer within Kara’s face. She tried to find eye contact with Kara, but the woman’s eyes avoided her own at all costs.
“Well, what do you need, darling?” asked Alura, angling her head slightly forward, taking a look at Kara’s hidden face. The sensors installed around the room to assist in its function betrayed the holographic actions it took. It could see every angle of the laboratory, no matter where in the room its form was. “I’m always here for you.”
“First, some ground rules,” Kara began, finally looking at the light structure in its eyes. Her voice was firm. “You’re not my mother.” She paused for a moment, waiting for a response. “I… I understand that you were taken from her mind and her memories, but you’re just not her. I don’t need you to try to be, and I really don’t need you calling me pet names. Just… Kara is fine.”
“Alright, Kara,” the AI said, nodded along.
“Second; you’re in my workplace now, not my ship,” she continued. “I’m going to have employees and clients here often, I need you to assist them as well.”
“I don’t know who these people are or will be,” said Alura.
“That’s okay, I don’t know who all of them will be yet,” Kara replied. “But you’ll know when I do.” She knew that the AI could process information in nanoseconds, perhaps quicker, but she watched as it nodded its head, acting as if it was contemplating what it was being told. Kara pursed her lips.
“What is it that you will be doing here, Kara?” asked Alura. Finally taking a step away from its static position, it walked around the lab, its holographic eyes looking over all of the empty space and cheap, rudimentary earth machinery that came pre-installed in the room. “I don’t see nearly enough equipment to accomplish anything of substance.”
“Vaguely, it’ll be research and development,” said Kara. “I still need clients and employees who can actually help me do it all–”
“What will you be researching and developing?” Alura asked, turning back toward Kara, her arms clasped in front of her. Kara hesitated for a moment, cocking her head slightly as she narrowed her eyes at the blueish hologram that was staring back at her.
“I want to find a sustainable way to introduce Kryptonian technology to Earth and improve quality of life here,” Kara explained. “I don’t want them to make the same mistakes we did, and if I can adapt the right tech, I can help them.” The expression on Alura’s face seemed conflicted, a strained smile.
“And what would stop them from taking this technology for themselves? From adapting it to something other than your goals?”
“I would,” said Kara. “This planet isn’t ignorant of our technology, Kal-El was here for decades before I arrived, his son is their greatest hero. But only I have access to the necessary plans and techniques to build anything of ours.”
“I see,” said Alura, her tone apprehensive. She seemed to want to object to Kara’s plans, wanting to say more but stopping herself. Kara was surprised to see such internal conflict from a machine. “Are you sure this is the wisest–”
“I will rewrite you myself, if I have to,” said Kara, her voice suddenly cold and distant. “I’ve had enough of Kryptonian superiority. I’ve seen what our empire did to planets in the galaxy, I’ve seen the results of genocides we carried out. If I could access this information without a middle man, I would, but I have to go through you. I’m using our knowledge for something other than murder, or control, or expansionism.”
The AI said nothing in response, simply nodding.
Kara hated how she sounded, but there was a rage within her that could not be quelled. She’d been shown a side of Krypton that tore down all of her beliefs, and she wouldn’t let the old seclusionist ways prevent her from doing what she could to help those in need. Earth had growing problems, and she could see that Kryptonian technology and ideas could help find solutions.
Before either of them could speak once more, there was a knock at the door that caught their attention.
“That would be my interview,” said Kara, turning to the door and rushing to open it. Alura kept quiet as she watched.
“Doctor Veritas,” Kara said enthusiastically as her eyes met those of the brilliant woman on the other side of the door. “Come in,” she said, stepping back and gesturing into the lab, a welcoming smile on her face. “If I’m honest, this interview is mostly a formality, I don’t know how I could say no to–”
“Quite a mundane laboratory, here,” said Shay Veritas, looking over the empty room, forty feet long and thirty feet wide with high ceilings. “No useful equipment, yet.”
“Uh, no, not yet,” said Kara. “I’m still working on getting some tools from the fortress here and sorting out the finances from the grants and–”
“Investors,” said Shay, finishing Kara’s sentence. “Yes, it’s all a terrible drag. I could assist you with tools from my own, personal laboratory.”
“Oh, you have your own lab?” Kara asked, stopping in her tracks, tilting her head slightly as she continued to watch the doctor look over the lab. Shay nodded. “Why come work for me then?” The question rang sweetly in Shay’s ears, a wry smile finding its way onto her face as she turned back toward the Kryptonian, her magenta hair swinging slightly as she pivoted quickly on her cane.
“Because you are interesting, Kara Zor-El,” said the doctor, taking her time as she walked up to Kara. “You arrive, burn the countryside, disappear for weeks, smash up a warmonger’s beast sidekick, play superhero, and then disappear for a whole year before returning with a business idea. You have the power to punch your way through all your problems and yet your scientific mind is what you’re drawn to. I adore like-minded people, and the opportunity to work with a mind that experienced a civilisation so advanced it dwarfed our own, I’d be a fool to decline.” Kara nodded along.
“I suppose it would be impressive–”
“Interesting,” said Shay, interrupting Kara. “Not impressive, not yet. You are interesting.” Kara remained silent for a few moments as Shay stopped only a couple feet in front of her, a hand extended to shake.
“As I was saying,” Kara finally said, looking the applicant up and down. “This was really only a formality. You’re hired.”
 
 
A Few Hours Later…
Kara sat alone in her office, reading more and more stacks of applications, her dim office light keeping the text on the stacks of papers legible as she scanned through them. It was tireless work, but she enjoyed it more than signing continuous documents regarding taxes, grants, and registrations. It was easier to judge people than trudge through the legal language that bored her to death.
Flipping through the fifth candidate of the hour that she would have to reject, she looked up at the holographic emitter on the ceiling and shook her head.
“Alura,” she called out. There were questions to ask the machine that she hadn’t had a chance to ask before, pressing questions that needed answers. Instantaneously, the form of Kara’s mother appeared before her, a kind smile on her face.
“How can I help you, Kara?” asked the AI.
“I want to know about the old empire,” said Kara, receiving a nod from the AI, no signs of hesitance or trepidation in its face or movements. “Tell me about Starhaven, first.”
“Starhaven was an ancient, primitive planet that we settled millennia ago, bringing modern agriculture, technology, and resources to their world. When the galactic war forced us to abandon it, it was an arid planet with few oceans and irregular weather. Our intervention managed to allow the planet to retain oxygen sources on the planet as plants on the surface died out.” Kara scoffed. She was only being told half the story.
“Alright, tell me about the agriculture that was brought to Starhaven. The hydroponics facilities and the weather machines.” Kara crossed her arms and leaned forward, resting her elbows on the surface of her desk, the papers below her arms acting as rigid cushions above the wooden frame.
“The Weather and Hydroponics systems were complex, but now antiquated, systems that we used to stabilise the atmosphere of the planet and continue the water cycle in the best method we could find. It allowed wind currents, oxygen, and water to remain in the atmosphere despite worsening conditions on the surface of the planet. All resources used were native flora, invasive species were very carefully taken into account on all former imperial colonies.”
“Sure, sure,” Kara said quickly. “Now what about Project Class Worldkiller?”
“I am afraid I cannot answer that, Kara.” Alura said, her face twisting in disappointment.
“Why not?”
“It seems I have an information block, or perhaps that query does not match any parameters within the database I have access to.”
Kara furrowed her brow. Alura had never been so mechanically artificial before, she almost refused to acknowledge her status as an AI. Kara had thought that she was given the personality of the real Alura — for a query to result in such blunt terms of missing software struck her as odd.
“How do I remove the information block?” asked Kara.
“I am afraid I cannot answer that,” said Alura. “Modifying my own code is not possible. I do not have an insight to most of my own functions.”
“Is there anything related to Project Class Worldkiller that you can tell me? What about Codename: Reign?” Kara asked, hoping that she could at least come across tangential information. There had to have been records of the Worldkillers, and the data block proved that they were real, and they were dangerous. Why else would information about them be blocked to the last surviving Kryptonian?
“Unfortunately, I cannot answer that,” said Alura. “Another data block. I’m not sure why, but this information is a closely guarded secret. I know that Alura knew of them, but she has intentionally, if hastily, attempted to remove my knowledge on the subject.”
Kara sat back in her seat, hands down on her thighs, and sighed. Her gaze was unfocused and distant as she thought about the implications of deliberately hiding such information. If the Worldkillers were relics of the old empire, why hide their existence? Did Alura know more about them, for whatever reason? What did Alura know? Was she hiding their existence to keep them out of perverse hands or some other unspoken reason?
She wouldn’t be able to get answers to any of her questions from this machine, and with her mother dead, there were no answers to be had. She would have to set aside some time to reprogram the AI — or find a way to remove the data blocks — but she had no time to do so with the endless paperwork on her desk.
Well, she wanted to continue with the paperwork when the phone on her desk began blaring its loud ringing chime, almost startling her.
“Shall I take that, Kara?” asked Alura, gesturing toward the phone.
“No,” Kara said, reaching for the receiver. “It’s okay, I’ve got it.”
Picking it up, she placed it to her ear and listened as the caller immediately began to speak.
“Kara Zor-El?” asked the voice, it was a woman on the other end calling her name, her voice was unfamiliar. “Christina Bell, I work for a financier who’s interested in your company. We’d like to make a private investment into ARGO Solutions in exchange for a small percentage of ownership and a share of profits.”
Kara sat silently, tapping her fingers against the surface of her desk.
“Ownership?” Kara asked hesitantly. “I don’t know–”
“It’s nothing to be worried about,” said Christina Bell, her tone unusually upbeat. “We tend to be silent partners, supplying funds and letting our partners do what they do best in exchange for a small, almost unnoticeable share of profits.”
“I’m not… I don’t want to do this to make money,” said Kara, her voice trailing slightly. “I want to help people–”
“I understand, Miss Zor-El,” said Bell. “But I also understand, based on data available to us, that you don’t have much funding, going off of grants by the National City government, but surely that cannot be enough. Their science fund may be bountiful, but it’s not generous.” There was a brief pause as neither spoke, Kara wanting to come up with something to say.
The caller wasn’t wrong, Kara needed money if she wanted to keep the business going for more than the few months the grants allowed and to pay any employees — especially now that she actually had an employee.
“Why don’t we set up an appointment to meet and further discuss our options,” said Christina, her voice remaining unnervingly calm. “Are you free any time in the coming days?”
“Uh, mostly, yes,” Kara replied, still hesitant and unsure of her position and the offer being presented. “Friday is fully open.”
“That’s perfect,” said Christina. “I can stop by at noon?”
“Okay–”
“Excellent!” Christina exclaimed. “I will see you then!” Before Kara could respond, the line cut, and Christina Bell disappeared into wherever in National City she was. Kara couldn’t help but scoff, she had barely been given a chance to speak and yet she was already going to be in a meeting with whoever Christina Bell was, and whichever company she represented — only now realising she’d never received a name.
Unable to focus, Kara sat back down in her chair and scoffed.
 
 
There was a shadow-clad figure in an empty office across the street from Kara Zor-El, a few floors above the safehouse used by Alex Danvers of the DEO. Danvers wasn’t present that night, she hadn’t been since the arrow had flown through her window and destroyed some of her equipment days prior.
This figure, cloaked under a hood with a bow on their back, stared into the unobstructed window of Kara Zor-El’s office window, listening device in hand, attempting to identify the woman Kara had spoken to on the phone. Only a handful of companies came to mind, but there were too many to search in one night. They didn’t want to extend into the coming days, but feared that they had to in order to intercept the money that was being offered to the woman who was a total novice to Earth business practices.
There was the obvious case of wanting to take advantage of the Kryptonian and her technology, the feasibility of getting their hands on technology far beyond Earth’s current capabilities would whet the appetites of even the most reserved executive. Kara Zor-El was bringing previously untouched resources and potentially putting it into the hands of those who would adapt her benevolent intentions and warp her results into something much more dangerous.
This figure had only been in National City for less than a year, but they knew almost immediately who would try the hardest to get their hands on Kryptonian technology: Simon Tycho.
Sitting atop his ivory tower, it was the only alien intelligence he truly struggled to grasp, always on the cusp of getting it for himself, yet struggling to cross the finish line. ARGO Solutions would be his easiest con yet.
The difficult part was which company did Tycho send after Kara Zor-El, there were many that were tied to him one way or another, it was simply a matter of identifying which one fit the mark.
The figure would have to move across the city and hope they reached the right one first. Christina Bell was not one for social media or even business networking sites, despite her profession. She had next to no online presence, almost eliminating the possibility of finding her through name alone.
Tycho’s known subsidiaries were numerous, but there was no telling how many were shell companies operated by shell companies. No one would know how many off-shore accounts he was pulling his money from, how much he was laundering through tax-havens or how many companies he operated off of American soil. Only the man himself truly knew the scale of his business, but he wasn’t the wisest to confront.
The shadowy figure would have to search on their own.
 
 
Small, metallic, wrist-mounted darts made destroying security cameras easy, and the shadowy figure snuck into the third office building of the night without issue. Lazy security guards and the fallibility of tired eyes allowed for the figure to find their way to the upper floors without trouble, giving them ample time to search the offices without being caught. All it took was an incapacitated guard within the security room to do it.
There were rows and rows of cubicles as the figure slinked their way through the building, the last investment firm on the north side of National City, with dubious links to Tycho Industries. It was nearing four in the morning, and it would have to be the last of the night before their search bled into the next day. Thursday morning was not optimal if they had to get what they needed by the next day, but they could only hope.
Christina Bell’s office stared the figure right in the face as they turned a corner, one of the few offices that was allotted its own space within the company’s rented floor. The lock hadn’t even been shut, allowing the shadowy figure to get inside with ease.
They breathed a sigh of relief as they got inside, thankful to have found it fast enough to get all the information they needed. They were quick to shuffle through Christina’s desk as they waited for the old computer to boot up. There weren’t any particularly interesting or relevant papers in her desk, mostly minor acquisitions and investments in preexisting companies that trended well on the stock market.
Placing a small USB device into the computer, the figure bypassed the company assigned password and gained direct access to all of the digitised files. It was a pain to navigate, having to sort through lists and countless folders of oddly-named case files that they could only assume were some kind of shorthand code.
The jumbled letters and numbers were difficult to make out until they found what they were looking for, and hindsight became clearer than ever.
F-KZE-AS-0424. The case file for Kara Zor-El’s ARGO Solutions. The figure furrowed their brows at the name before opening it, scanning as many details as they could find. Two stood out most: the investor intended for a full acquisition — how they wanted to achieve it, they didn’t know, perhaps deceiving Kara — and the name of the investor that Christina was representing was a name that the shadowy figure knew all too well.
In the year that they had been in National City, it was a name that popped up frequently, and they already knew of the lengthy trail that connected them to Simon Tycho. With their objective completed, they downloaded the case file directly to their USB device and left without even turning the computer off nor closing the door. The matter was urgent.

Al Talaqny, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Al Adwy, from Abad Bin Saheyb, from his father, from his grandfather, from Al Rabie, companion of Al Mansour who said, ‘Abu Abdullah Ja’far Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiq-asws attended a gathering of Al-Mansour one day, and in his presence was a man from India reading the books of medicine, and he went on to connect Abu Abdullah Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws to his reading. When the Indian was free, said to him-asws, ‘O Abu Abdullah-asws! Do you-asws want anything with me?’ He-asws said: ‘No, for what is with me-asws is better than what is with you’. He said, ‘And what is it?’ He-asws said: ‘I-asws cure the hot with the cold and the cold with the hot, and the wet with the dry and the dry with the wet, and I-asws refer the matters, all of them, to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and I-asws utilise what Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘And know that the stomach is a house of illness, and the diet, it is the medicine’, and I-asws return the body to what it used to be’. The Indian said, ‘And is the medicine except this?’ Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘Do you see me-asws as having taken it from the books of medicine?’ He said, ‘Yes’. He-asws said: ‘No, by Allah-azwj, I-asws do not take except from Allah-azwj the Glorious. Inform me, am I-asws more knowing with the medicine or you are?’ The Indian said, ‘No, but I am’. Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘So, can I-asws ask you something?’ He said, ‘Ask’. He-asws said: ‘Inform me, O Indian! How many purposes are there in the head?’ He said, ‘I don’t know’. He-asws said: ‘Why has the hair made to be on him from above him?’ He said, ‘I don’t know’. He-asws said: ‘Why has the forehead made to be free from the hair?’ He said, ‘I don’t know’. He-asws said: ‘Why are the lines and indentations for it?’ He said, ‘I don’t know’. He-asws said: ‘Why are the two eyelids from above the two eyes?’ He said, ‘I don’t know’ He-asws said: ‘Why have the eyes made to be like the two almonds?’ He said, ‘I don’t know’. He-asws said: ‘Why has the nose made to be in what is between the two?’ He said, ‘I don’t know’. He-asws said: ‘Why does the nose have holes in its lower part?’ He said, ‘I don’t know’. He-asws said: ‘Why are the lips and the moustache made to be from above the mouth?’ He said, ‘I don’t know’. He-asws said: ‘Why are the incisors sharp, and the molars wide, and the canines long?’ He said, ‘I don’t know’. He-asws said: ‘Why has the beard made to be for the men?’ He said, ‘I don’t know’. He-asws said: ‘Why are the two palms free from the hair?’ He said, ‘I don’t know’. ‘He-asws said: ‘Why are the nails and the hair devoid of life?’ He said, ‘I don’t know. He-asws said: ‘Why is the heart like the pine?’ He said, ‘I don’t know’. He-asws said: ‘Why are the lungs in two pieces, and their movement has been made to be in their places’. He said, ‘I don’t know’. He-asws said: ‘Why is the liver humpbacked?’ He said, ‘I don’t know’. He said, ‘Why is the kidney like a seed of the bean?’ He said, ‘I don’t know’. He-asws said: ‘Why is the folding of the two knees to be to the back?’ He said, ‘I don’t know’. He-asws said: ‘Why is the foot convex (below)?’ He said, ‘I don’t know’. Al Sadiq-asws said: ‘But, I-asws do know’. He said, ‘Then, answer’. Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘There are purposes in the head because the concave, when it was without joints, the headaches would be quicker to it, so then it was Made to be with joints, so that headaches can be far from it; and the hair was Made to be from above him for the fat (oil) to arrive to the brain and the vapour to exit from its sides, and the heat and the cold can be contained upon it; and the forehead is empty from the hair because it is a conduit to the eyes, and the lines and the indentations in it are to withhold the sweat coming from the head, from the eyes, by a measurement of what the human being can wipe off from himself, like the rivers in the earth which withhold the water. And the eyelids had been Made to be above the two eyes to return from them the light by a measurement of the sufficiency. Do you not see, O Indian, that the one who is overwhelmed by the light makes his hand to be upon his eyes in order to block from them by a measure sufficient from it? And the nose has Made to be in between them to divide the light into two parts equally to each eye; and the eye is (shaped) like the almond in order for the needle to flow in it with the medication and throw out the disease from these, and if it was square or circular, the needle would not flow in it, and the medication would not arrive to it nor would the disease come out from it. And the holes of the nose have been Made to be in the bottom in order for the diseases to descend from it, rolling down from the brain, and the winds to ascend into it to the smelling, and if (the holes) were in its upper part, the diseases would not descend, nor would he be able to find aroma; and the moustache and the lips have been Made to be above the mouth to withhold what descends from the brain from the mouth (nose) lest it interfered upon the human being of his food and his drink, and he can wipe it off from himself. And the beard has been Made to be for the men in order to him to be needless with it from the detection regarding the looks and it can be known by it, the male from the female; and the incisor has been Made to be sharp because it is the location of the biting, and the molar is Made wide because by it occurs the grinding and the chewing, and the canines to strengthen the molars and the incisors like the cylinders in the building. And the two palms are free from the hair because the touch occurs by them. If there was hair in them, the human being would not know what is kissing him and touching him; and the hair and nails are devoid of life because their elongating is filthy and their clipping is good. If there was life in these, the human being would not have clipped them due to pain; and the heart is like a seed of the pine because it is inverted, and its head is Made delicate for the aeration to enter in and it can be cooled by its coolness, lest the brain is scorched by its heat. And the lungs have been Made as two pieces between the compressors so they can be aerated from it by its movement; and the liver is humpbacked to weigh down the stomach and fall all of it upon it, so it would squeeze it to bring out whatever is in it from the vapour; and the kidney is Made like the seed of the bean because upon it is the outlet of the semen, drop after drop. If it were square or circular, it would withhold the first drop to the second, and the living (human) would not derive pleasure from its exit when the descend of the semen was from the spine of the back to the kidney. It is like the worm which squeezes and spreads (moves forward), shooting it first to the bladder like the arrow from the bow. And the folding of the knee is Made to the behind because the human being walks to what is in front of him, so the movement would be equal, and had it not been for that, he would wall in his walking; and the foot has been Made convex because the thing, when it falls upon the ground in its entirety (flat), it would be heavy, the weight of the milestone. If it was upon its edge, the child could have pushed him, and when he falls upon his face, his movement would be difficult upon the men’. The Indian (man) said to him-asws, ‘From where has this knowledge (come) to you-asws?’ He-asws said: ‘I-asws took it from my-asws forefathers-asws, from Rasool-Allah-saww, from Jibraeel-as, from the Lord-azwj of the world, Majestic is His-azwj Majesty Who Created the bodies and the souls’. The Indian said, ‘You-asws speak the truth, and I testify that there is no god except Allah-azwj, and that Muhammad-saww is a Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj and His-azwj servant, and you-asws are the most knowledgeable one of the people of your-asws era’ Bihar Al-Anwaar – V 10,p 205 The book of Argumentation, S 3 Ch 13 H 9
الطالقاني ، عن الحسن بن علي العدوي ، عن عباد بن صهيب ، عن أبيه ، عن جده ، عن الربيع صاحب المنصور قال : حضر أبوعبدالله جعفر بن محمد الصادق علیه السلام مجلس المنصور يوما وعنده رجل من الهند يقرء كتب الطب ، فجعل أبوعبدالله الصادق جعفر بن محمدع ينصب لقراءته ، فلما فرغ الهندي قال له : يا أبا عبدالله أتريد مما معي شيئا؟ قال : لا ، فإن ما معي خير مما معك.
قال : وما هو؟ قال : اداوي الحار بالبارد ، والبارد بالحار ، والرطب باليابس ، واليابس بالرطب ، وأرد الامر كله إلى الله عزوجل ، وأستعمل ما قاله رسول الله ص : « واعلم أن المعدة بيت الداء والحمية هي الدواء » واعود البدن ما اعتاد. فقال الهندي : وهل الطب إلا هذا؟ فقال الصادق ع : أفتراني عن كتب الطب أخذت؟ قال : نعم ، قال : لا والله ما أخذت إلا عن الله سبحانه ، فأخبرني أنا أعلم بالطب أم أنت؟ فقال الهندي : لا بل أنا.
قال الصادق ع : فأسألك شيئا ، قال : سل ، قال : أخبرني ياهندي كم كان في الرأس شؤون؟ قال : لا أعلم. قال : فلم جعل الشعر عليه من فوقه؟ قال : لا أعلم. قال : فلم خلت الجبهة من الشعر؟ قال : لا أعلم. قال : فلم كان لها تخطيط وأسارير؟ قال : لا أعلم.
قال : فلم كان الحاجبان من فوق العينين؟ قال : لا أعلم. قال : فلم جعلت العينان كاللوزتين؟ قال : لا أعلم. قال : فلم جعل الانف فيما بينهما؟ قال : لا أعلم. قال : فلم كان ثقب الانف في أسفله؟ قال : لا أعلم.
قال : فلم جعلت الشفة والشارب من فوق الفم؟ قال : لا أعلم. قال : فلم احتد السن ، وعرض الضرس ، وطال الناب؟ قال : لا أعلم. قال : فلم جعلت اللحية للرجال؟ قال : لا أعلم. قال كـ فلم خلت الكفان من الشعر ، قال : لا أعلم. قال : فلم خلا الظفر والشعر من الحياة؟ قال : لا أعلم. قال : فلم كان القلب كحب الصنوبر؟ قال : لا أعلم. قال : فلم كانت الرية قطعتين ، وجعل حركتها في موضعها؟ قال : لا أعلم. قال : فلم كانت الكبد حدباء؟ قال : لا أعلم. قال : فلم كانت الكلية كحب اللوبيا؟ قال : لا أعلم. قال : فلم جعل طي الركبتين إلى خلف؟ قال لا أعلم. قال : فلم تخصرت القدم؟ قال : لا أعلم.
فقال الصادق ع : لكني أعلم ، قال : فأجب. قال الصادق ع : كان في الرأس شؤون لان المجوف إذا كان بلا فصل أسرع إليه الصداع ، فإذا جعل ذا فصول كان الصداع منه أبعد. وجعل الشعر من فوقه لتوصل بوصوله الادهان إلى الدماغ ، و يخرج بأطرافه البخار منه ، ويرد الحر والبرد الواردين عليه. وخلت الجبهة من الشعر لانها مصب النور إلى العينين. وجعل فيها التخطيط والاسارير ليحتبس العرق الوارد من الرأس عن العين قدر ما يميطه[١] الانسان عن نفسه ، كالانهار في الارض التي تحبس المياه. وجعل الحاجبان من فوق العينان ليراد عليهما من النور قدر الكفاف ، ألاترى يا هندي أن من غلبه النور جعل يده على عينيه ليرد عليهما قدر كفايتهما منه؟
وجعل الانف فيما بينهما ليقسم النور قسمين إلى كل عين سواء. وكانت العين كاللوزة ليجري فيها الميل بالدواء ويخرج منها الداء ، ولو كانت مربعة أومدورة ماجرى فيها الميل ، وما وصل إليها دواء ، ولا خرج منها داء. وجعل ثقب الانف في أسفله لتنزل منه الادواء المنحدرة من الدماغ ، ويصعد فيه الارابيح إلى المشام ، ولو كان في أعلاه لما انزل داء ، ولا وجد رائحة. وجعل الشارب والشفة فوق الفم لحبس ما ينزل من الدماغ عن الفم لئلا يتنغص[٤] على الانسان طعامه وشرابه فيميطه عن نفسه. وجعلت اللحية للرجال ليستغني بها بها عن الكشف في المنظر ويعلم بها الذكر من الانثى. وجعل السن حاد الان به يقع العض. وجعل الضرس عريضا لان به يقع الطحن والمضغ. وكان الناب طويلا ليسند الاضراس والاسنان كالاسطوانة في البناء. وخلا الكفان من الشعر لان بهما يقع اللمس ، فلو كان فيهما شعر مادرى الانسان ما يقابله ويلمسه. وخلا الشعر والظفر من الحياة لان طولهما سمج وقصهما حسن ، فلو كان فيهما حياة لالم الانسان لقصهما. وكان القلب كحب الصنوبر لانه منكس فجعل رأسه دقيقا ليدخل في الرية فتروح عنه ببردها ، لئلا يشيط الدماغ بحره.
وجعلت الرية قطعتين ليدخل بين مضاغطها فيتروح عنه بحركتها. وكانت الكبد حدباء لتثقل المعدة ويقع جميعها عليها فيعصرها ليخرج ما فيها من البخار. وجعلت الكلية كحب اللوبيا لان عليها مصب المني نقطة بعد نقطة ، فلو كانت مربعة أو مدورة احتبست النقطة الاولى إلى الثانية فلا يلتذ بخروجها الحي ، إذا لمني ينزل من فقار الظهر إلى الكلية ، فهي كالدودة تنقبض وتنبسط ، ترميه أولا فأولا إلى المثانة كالبندقة من القوس. وجعل طي الركبة إلى خلف لان الانسان يمشي إلى ما بين يديه فيعتدل الحركات ، ولولا ذلك لسقط في المشي ، وجعلت القدم مخصرة لان الشئ إذا وقع على الارض جميعه ثقل ثقل حجر الرحى ، فإذا كان على حرفه دفعه الصبي وإذا وقع على وجهه صعب نقله على الرجال.
فقال له الهندى : من أين لك هذا العلم؟ فقال ع : أخذته عن آبائي : عن رسول الله ص ، عن جبرئيل ، عن رب العالمين جل جلاله الذي خلق الاجساد و الارواح. فقال الهندي : صدقت وأنا أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله ، وأن محمدا رسول الله وعبده ، وأنك أعلم أهل زمانك. بحار ج10 ص205 https://lib.eshia.i11008/10/205

This years arena took place in the Garrigae Manior.
Day 1
Game maker Monty was right about the previous years statement about these next two games being relatively similar. The cornocpuia layed within the lobby of the seaside Garrigae manior. President Mcaine himself chose this arena mainly due to his recent frequenting visits of this manner in particular on his drunken summer Holidays. The Manior had 6 floors the 1st floor being the lobby/corncoupia. The corncopuia itself featured tridents and swords and surprisingly no food. The food could be found in many puesto side stores as an extra scavenger hunt for the tributes. Besides the maniore this years arena was circluar in shape feauturing many stores and trift shops with a salty air breeze that would distract tributes to the sea. Little the tributes know at the time the water was poisonus and if it had direct contact with human skin it would burn it and cause temporary paralysis. In the stores of the arena featured many valuable capital delcaises and weapons. Agrivated monkeys also roamed the arena mainly heighbernating in the trees until provked to awake.
When the tributes podiums rose up Brociade from 2 looked at Jafar from 1 nodding contently back at him as Tiffany from 1 located Anchor from 4. To Brociades right and left were Frank from 8 and Wybrana from 3. Both outliers were mortly petrified of teh carrer boy he even grinned placing the number 2 on his side to Jafar from 1. He noticed this start plan single before pointing at a grinning Qwendlon from 2 as she then pointened at Leon from 7 grimly looking a head.
As the gong sounded only Frank from 8 and Clarion and Victoria both from 5 ran away from then corncopuia. Qwendlon earned the first kill of this years games by tripping Geo from 6 and as he smaked his head on the ground Qwendlon threw the unconscious bleeding boy onto Brociade. Brociade yelped before he then was tackled to the ground by Leon from 7. As Brociade gasped for air he grinned when Leon fell to the ground with a knife in his heart. Tiffany grinned before shoutting “You ok.” Brociade nodded before grabbing a sword before shouting at Tiffany to watch out as Belle from 7 nearly stabbed her in the heart. Luckily for both ladies Belle ran of with a trident. . However with qwendllon hurled a trident at him it ended up impaling Ateno from 3 through the heart. Taking his opportunity at Qwendlons exhaustion Brociade took a trident off the wall of the corncopuia before hurling it into her throat. This death came as a shock to most in snow square but Camilia laughed saying she knew “That” would happen. As Jafar and Tiffany finished off the pair from 11 the remaining 20 tributes that werent the carrers ran off as the 6 blood bath cannons sounded.
“Finally that demented pig is gone.”
Brociade laughed before then turning in surprise not seeing Anchor. “Wheres the boy.”
“I think he pissed his pants after the blood bath.”
Tiffany laughed as the three took the remaining supplies before walking up the maniore rooms becoming quiet entranced at the pure luxury of the beds and decoir. Even the pair from one were transficked upon the architecture and jewlerly designs. The 3 of them then proceed to rest keeping watch over the arena. After afew hours of watching they heard a cannon sound. This was Marina from 4 after her district partner Anchor had grown quite impateint with Marina’s constant sobbing episodes before snapping her enck within an instant in an fit of rage. The pair from 1 and Brociade from 2 walked toward the window of where they had previously saw Marina’s deayj seeomh the pair from 8 walking the streets.
“Should we go for him.”
Jafar grinned before a sposmor gift flew down.
Tiffany then grabbed the gift before grinning as she then took out a shiny silver bow. Brociade looked on with a rather sour expression as viewers in snow square laughed Silca recounted “Someone’s jealloius.”.
Tiffany then took out a few arrows from the quiver before spotting out the window spotting the pair. As they stopped in there tracks.
“Did you hear something.”
Frank shrugged before continuing.
“Lets see if I can get a 2 in one special wanna try if I miss Brociade.”
He nodded before Tiffany shot her first double set of arrows. As they narrowly missed the pair. She swore before quickly tossing the bow and arrows to brociade he then stuck his head out before shooting the two double arrows at the pair from 8 threw there necks. As 2 cannos sounded Tiffany smiled before asking “Is that how its done.”
Brociade winked before saying “Indeed.” Back in the capital when this scene was replayed Camilia laughed before swearing she saw Brociade blush. As the moonlight soon enriched the arena the carrers were luckily sponsored a small feast of capital goodies from there good ol show. Brociade took first watch as Jafar Tiffany slept. At mid night horn of plenty played featuring the 9 fallen tributes. Qwendlon from 2 Anteno from 3 Marina from 4 Geo from 6 Leon from 7 the pair from 11 leaving 17 remaining.
Day 2
After Jafar’s morning watch came to an end. The three had a brief breakfast before watching for any action. However after growing quiet bored after no apparent action a cannon sounded. This was revealed to be Blanche from 10 after having an unforeanut encounter with Anchor from 4 in one of the vila stores.. After an short chase Anchor eventually caught up with her before throwing her in the acid water.
After this death was announced game maker monty made an live announcment. He congratulated the tributes on making it to the second day before suggesting they “Hide or get to an higher altuide” before an acidic tsunami would crash into the arena. As the wave startedts course many shouts of horror crossed the streets. Luckily for the carrers they still resided in the maniore however Jafar suggested that they’d go up to the roof that way they could have an overview of the arena and eventually eliminate more od the competition. As they then reached the roof a cannon sounded.
This was later revealed to be Wybrana from 3 as she succesfuly climbed a tall tree however she was soon whacked across ahead by Anchor from 4 and Bellle from 7 slammed her sword into Wybranna’s stomach. As the wave claimed Kaden from 9 Remedia from 12 and the girl from 14. After the girl from 14s cannon sounded. 2 sposnor gifts flew down.
Brociade walked up to the gift before smiling happliy at it taking his brand new “Shiny and rather expensive golden bow”. This gift and alongside Finnick Odair’s trident were known as the most expensive gifts in hunger games history. However as a note resided in the bottom of this sponsor gift Camilia declined to read it out loud to spare the ears of capital and district viewers,
As the wave returned to the bay game maker monty made an announcement declaring the streets to be safe to traverse. The carrers then begun there target practices splitting up to 3 corners of the maniore roof shooting near by birds and potentialy passing tributes.However after 6 hours of no action Tiffany gasped seeing Lunar from 6 weakly walking toward the manior as a last ditch effort to get food,.
“Who wants her.”
Jafar and Brociade immedtlay ran forward before aiming at the weak girl. However before she was about to enter the manior Brociade shot his first arrow. As it hit Lunar in the shoulder she screamed out as Brociade then was shoved out of the way by Jafar as he then shot more arrows at Lunar nearly all of them missed causing Tiffany to scream “She’s getting away!.’’
However as Lunar successfully limped away Jafar pushed Brociade to the ground rather agroantley shouting “It was you who missed.” However as Brociade had grown tired of being the punching back punched Jafar in the face.
“Your really gonna act like a child now you brat”
However as Jafar fought back and kicked Brociade in the crotch. He winced in pain before the pair got into a brutal fist fight. viewers in the captial started laughing hysterically at Tiffany’s face in the result of the fight of pure bewilderment.
Tiffany then grabbed both Jafar and Brociade by the scruffs of there necks meansingly saying
“We gonna act like real carrers or what?’
As Jafar stuck his middle finger out at Brociade he then gripped onto his trident as Tiffany rather surprisingly slammed her knife into Jafar heart. As he spluttered bloood and tried to attack Brociade he soon slipped in his own blood he screaned before falling off the roof of his cannon soon sounding. After Jafar’s cannon sounded Tiffany let a sny grin cross her face she grinned saying “Your welcome” before winking at Brociade. Brociade smirked before he and Tiffany chatted about lives in there own districts with Tiffany becoming entranced with interest when Brociade talked about the Heath Academy in his district and how he had pranked Qwendlons mentor Jade one time by putting a cockroach in her coffe which ended up being a fake resulting in Tiffany laughing hysterically. As night fell Tiffany asked if Brociad ecould keep first watch however a knife came whistling at there general direction. The pair doged before seeing Raven from 9 angrily hurling more knives at the pair. Viewers in the capital could see her blood shot eyes as she shouted that they “Would pay for killing Kaden”. Tiffany responded that they “Didnt kill him” but before Tiffany could say anything else Brociade stabbed Raven through the neck. As Raven begun to cough blood she soon faded out of consicous her cannon sounded.
Brociade and Tiffany soon walked back into the manior before the pair then slept in the nearest room. At midnight horn of plenty played featuring the 7 fallen tributes. Jafar from 1 Wybrana from 3 Kaden and Raven both from 9 Blanche from 10 Remeda from 12 and the girl from 14 leaving 10 tributes remaining. Tiffany from 1 Brociade from 2 Anchor from 4 Victoria and Clarion both from 5 Lunar from 6 belle from 7 Yreil from 10 sebastian from 12 and the boy from 14 remaining.
Day 3
Both of teh carrers decided it would be best for them to exit the manoir. And as they did this early in the morning an cannon rang out. This was Lunar from 6 after she had tried to climb the tree Wybrana had climbed the day before but the now imafous “coconut duo” and the suprsing crowd of monkeys attacked Lunar with the coconuts before she was finished of by Yreil from 10.
“I hope its that girl that nearly got you thrown off the manior roof>”
Brociade laughed before stopping for a second. As the quiet morning sun light soon became littered with dark clouds. As tornadoes begun to form the remaining nine tributes scattered through out the arena, Brociade and Tiffany soon spotted a distressed sebastian from 12 running away from Anchor from 4 and Belle from 7 with a few of there monkeys 🐒 with racing alongside.
Tiffany soon “shouted nice to see you again Anchor where were you from the first fay.”
Anchor flipped her of before throwing her trident at Tiffany, She yelped before throwing her self to the ground. The 2 groups of tributes barrled into the monior again before there fight resumed. Brociade lunged at Anchor slamming his face into a table as Tiffany and Belle begun widley shooting arrows at each other. Viewers in snow squares cheers grew at deathing level as Tiffany managed to get the upper hand against belle however just before she was about to stab Belle a Trident flew through there landing into Tiffany’s stomach. Brociade shouted out as he then delivered his signature move kicking Anchor in the stomach. He winced before Tiffany somehow got up and hurled her remaining arrow as it flew into anchors head. As his cannon sounded belle swore before slamming Anchors Trident into her heart. Tiffany’s cannon soon sounded as Belle looked wearily at Brociade before smiling saying.
“Thats for Anchor.”
As Belle ran off 2 more cannons sounded. Clarion and Victoria both from 5 had unforeanutly been sucked up into the tornado before being droopped from a high height crashing down into the ground.
Brociade walked over to Tiffanys body before pulling a rather kind move covering Tiffanys body with his shirt. He returned to the top floor of the monior before resting and eating the rest of the remaining rations he had. As the tornados soon dissipated game maker monty made another announcement. He congratulated the final four tributes on making to the final 4 before announcing that if a tribute were not back in the manior’s first floor in 5 minutes there tracker would denote.
As curious sounds of intrigue and interest and cheers sounded in snow square Brociade Yreil Belle and the boy from 14 made mad dash to the floor. The boy from 14 had been tripped up by Belle before she hurled one of her last remaining coconut shells at his head. Brociade soon spotted Yreil from 10 quickly running at him with a sword. However he then tripped giving Brociade the upper hand stabbing him in the heart. Brociade breathed and suddenly sat down happlily smiling. However as Brociade was having his “Winning fantasy” smiling and holding his knife in an action hero way a voice was soon heard saying “Coconuts are girls best friend.”
Brociade yelped before Belle quietly lowered her self from the ceiling of the first floor slicing Brociade’s throat. Viewing square was shocked and surprised as Brociade’s sadly saying “Im sorry Herminia”.
As Brociade’s cannon sound Belle grinned happly before sitting down in exhaustion as game maker monty crowned Bella “Belle” Figoura of district 7 had just won the 112th hunger games. In the mentoring gallery Herminia angrily ran out of the gallery as Acaia Ebony smiled serinly.
For her victors interview Belle was adorned in a light brown gown with cherry blossoms falling from top to bottom her messy red hair was straightened out and then braided. Eagle eye viewers could see a small anchor tatto on her neck as a momento to Anchor mean while camilia was adorned in a twilight yellow dress with green leaves decorating top of the dress.
She congratulated Belle on her rather sneaky victory. Before declaring her “The coconut assassin” by the captial causing her laugh. When pressed on her strategy Belle smiled and said “thank mrs ebony for it we made a plan the night before the games.” The captial citizens gasped as Acaia was seeen smiling warmly and nodding Canilia then asked if there was any “romatinc feelings” toward Anchor. Belle smiled and nodded as Camilia gasped before pressing her for details. As the pair had “lady chat”. After going over her 3 kills Belle commended Tiffany and brociades determination to win the games causing audience members and Camila said”aww”. Belle soon smiled warmly before bowing as she was then dismissed from the stage as game maker Monty was welcomed to the stage.
Cyrus regally waved to the audience in his stylish rainbow suit with a pure white bountiner. After he and camilia hugged each other game maker Monty announced that the following year would be his final year as the game maker. Many sounds of sadness and shouts of “‘no” sounded he then added in that he wanted to “start a family with silca”.
As the Saddness turned to cheers Camila smiled warmly before doing her usual “arena hints” requests. Cyrus grinned before saying to look for certain areas on this years games as hints. Many captial citizens gasped before shouting at game maker Monty to come back to the stage he grinned before camilia tried to calm the audience down. However as this was to no use she smiled before ending the interviews there.
Belle returned home to district 7 moving into the victors village with her sister and orphan friends. She would later go on to open her lumber company in the heart of the district. After the 116th games Belle became the mentor for both male and female tributes before she was rejoined by her mentor acaia ebony after whisterio Jansensions admission to the Mcaine physiatristic. She would later go on and marry her future husband Herb Jordan the pair would go on and have 5 kids together 1 would be chosen for a later games.

Why can’t I just be happy as a girl? Like come on. I can’t like anything because it brings me stupid gender dysphoria. I love long hair. Iv loved it since I was little. I love hair, I love playing with it, looking at it, feeling it. But no. Even though my dad has had long hair up untill he fried it off with bleach so much so he can’t really grow much hair. I can’t seem to not feel sick when thinking of myself with long hair. But yet I want it badly? I know boys can have long hair, but I can’t because I’m trans? How dose that make any sense? Also I get so embarrassed when someone points out I can grow a mustash as a trans guy that’s never been on T. It just embarrasses me that if I agreed with my assigned gender then I would be a girl with a mustash. Which hair grows there on most people, but I still am so embarrassed. I know im in the stage of my life that every thing embarrasses me. But come on. I can’t like anything without finding a way to make myself gender it. Like I can’t think a circle rug is cute without massive amounts in of gender dysphoria. And iv always been more of a feminine person. I loved dolls, dresses, long hair, pink and bows. But all of that brings me massive gender dysphoria and I still like all those things (even at my “big” age). Like I don’t gendertize this stupid stuff for other people. I see trans guys wearing dresses and think “oh wow they look so handsome in that” but for me all I think “haha stupid girl. Your just a girl pretending to be a boy. Your lying about being trans. Just a tiny little girl doing girl things haha” LIKE WHY? The things I like dosnt make me a gender, it’s what I feel more comfortable as. Why can’t I just be a boy, like the pronouns that I like while also wanting to have a doll collection? Coke on dolls are cool and I love how they freak some people out. What’s so wrong with that? It’s not even like iv experienced that much trans phobia. It’s just my stupid brain.
If I just felt like a girl then I wouldn’t have this problem. I hate being transgender
Also tagged this as self image. Sorry if that’s not correct. Idk what else to tag it as

First Chapter Previous Chapter
The weighty thud of a suitcase hitting the floor snapped Mrs. Vilonte from her thoughts. She reached for a shot glass and filled it with scotch, her eyes drifting towards the staircase where her husband stood, ready to depart, his coat and hat in hand, suitcase beside him.
“Such a fine example of a gentleman,” she quipped, before knocking back the shot, the fiery liquid stoking her bitterness while at the same time loosening up the tension in her muscles.
“Shattering our marriage and leaving your family behind. Bravo, truly the epitome of manliness, Philip!”
“I need to go away for a little while for my own sake.”
“Sure, just a little while,” she retorted with a tone dripping in disdain.
“I'll be on my own staying at a hotel downtown. I need to be alone to think about things.”
“Alone? Oh, please. I could smell that cunt’s juice lingering on your breath from here.”
“I already told you that I'm not sleeping around!”
Mrs. Vilonte scoffed incredulously, knowing that wasn't true. While running through the surreal forest in search of escape, she stumbled upon a field of mirrors. There, reflected back at her, she saw him and that... bitch (she couldn't bring herself to say her name).
“You disgust me,” she spat.
“I disgust you? Look around you! Our family is now broken! There's nothing much to salvage. I don't know why I've stayed this long with you.”
Her husband spread his arms, indicating to their sparsely furnished home, a stark contrast to its former opulence, once boasting luxurious chairs, sofas, tables, and an assortment of porcelain and gold souvenirs gathered from various corners of the world. After Mrs. Vilonte's recent release from the hospital, they resorted to selling off belongings to alleviate their mounting debts.
Gabrielle remained missing, and the once fervent public support for their search had dwindled. Instead, attention now fixated on their son George, who had been arrested for a heinous crime, a revelation that shook Mrs. Vilonte to her core, questioning if his profession as a pediatrician concealed darker truths.
As if their troubles weren't enough, the Vilontes faced another blow as their son-in-law Eric de Leon announced that once Gabrielle was found, he would sever ties following a leaked video of his wife's affair. At first, Mrs. Vilonte dismissed the rumors, convinced of their falsehood until the relentless gossip and media scrutiny left her with no choice but to see it for herself.
Despite her belief that they were mistaken, the disturbing reality sneered at her in the video. It wasn't just her daughter losing herself in the throes of passion that upset her, but the sickening revelation was that the man was none other than the young-looking Salerno. He stood there, drenched in sweat, gasping for air, a triumphant grin plastered across his face as he stared directly into the camera.
The sight was seared into her mind, a repulsive image she longed to erase and obliterate from her memory.
She poured another generous measure of scotch, the amber liquid glinting in the dim light. Downing it in one motion, she clenched her eyes shut, feeling the sting of hot tears welling behind her eyelids.
The once vibrant family photographs that were hung on the walls now seemed to mock the present reality. They were moments of happiness and togetherness that felt distant and unattainable.
Their meals together had become silent affairs, punctuated only by the clinking of cutlery and the heavy sighs of resignation. Love had been replaced by apathy, joy by melancholy. They had become strangers to each other.
“This isn't the life I envisioned for our family,” she murmured, her voice tinged with regret. “Do you ever wonder what got us to this level of wealth? How we have managed to come this far?”
“Because of our children, of course. And Gabrielle had been the one to give us so much.”
With a mischievous glint in her eyes, she erupted into laughter, her hand finding its place over her heart as if to contain the cynicism and bitterness bursting within. Her head swayed from side to side in disagreement.
“Oh, Philip, you don't know anything.”
Exasperated, Mr. Vilonte released a heavy sigh, his gaze narrowing with frustration as he focused on her. “That's because you never tell me anything. You always keep me in the dark.”
“You wouldn't like the truth. If you knew, trust me, you'd despise yourself.”
“I just want the truth.”
Perhaps fueled by the scotch coursing through her veins, she felt a surge of excitement, finally ready to shove the raw truth in her husband's face. “Everything you've ever enjoyed—the house, our children's successes, the money—they’re all because of me!”
“You? Just you alone?” he dismissed with a snort.
“I may have had a little help from beyond.”
“Beyond? What does that even mean?”
“I made a deal with some…with something…” her voice trailed off, the words hard to admit. “When Gabby lost her role as First Chair violinist at the beginning of her senior year, I felt I had no choice but to intervene. I did what needed to be done.”
Mr. Vilonte's voice carried a weight of seriousness as he asked, “What did you do?”
“I offered sacrifices. Victoria was the first, and Gabby was the second.”
Mrs. Vilonte stood up, her legs unsteady from the scotch's effects.
With careful steps, she walked over to a table and picked up Gabby's violin which had been believed to have been destroyed at the concert hall, yet it mysteriously reappeared by her bedside one morning.
She shoved the instrument into her husband's hands. “This violin is Victoria.”
“You mean that you stole this from the Sullivan girl?” He blinked at her, taken aback.
“No, I didn’t steal it. What I'm saying is, this violin is made out of her.”
Mr. Vilonte drew in a sharp breath through clenched teeth. “Isabella, really now! You're talking nonsense.”
He returned the violin to her, wiping his hands with a handkerchief as if ridding them of something unclean. Mrs. Vilonte then pulled out the bow from the case and showed him its auburn hairs.
“Do you remember that she had hair like this?” she asked. “Dark red hair. This is her hair. And the wood of the violin and bow… not real wood but bones. Her bones!”
Mr. Vilonte scowled. “Stop it! Stop talking!”
But she pressed on, her voice escalating in fervor. “You need to understand. I wasn't just in a coma at the hospital; I was transported elsewhere, to another realm entirely. It was a shadowy forest, seemingly lifeless except for the tree surrounding me. They were alive. They stood bare, devoid of leaves or undergrowth. Then this monstrous creature appeared and felled one of the trees. The tree let out a cry. It screamed. I believe those trees were souls. The creature crafted string instruments from them, but Gabby's violin is unique. Hers was made not just from Victoria's soul, but from her very flesh and bones.”
Mr. Vilonte stood in stunned silence, only to be snapped out of it by a car horn blaring from their driveway. He cleared his throat, donned his hat and coat, and grabbed his suitcase.
“That's my ride,” he said.
“Didn't you hear anything I just said?”
“I... I'm at a loss for words, Isabella.”
“Don't go, Philip! Please, stay.”
“And why should I?”
“Because... because…” Her voice trailed off, unable to find a compelling reason.
“I need to leave,” he sighed, pausing at the door. Turning to his wife, he added, "Please, Isabella, seek help. I beg of you.”
Mrs. Vilonte moved to the window, drawing back the curtains just enough to see her traitorous former assistant in the driver's seat. Anger welled up inside her, fueling a sudden craving for another sip of scotch.
XXXXX
“You’re quiet. Is there something wrong?” Sara asked, quickly glancing over at him. Mr. Vilonte sighed as he gazed out the window. “It's just... I'm amazed at how fast my life has turned upside down within a matter of weeks.”
“Did you tell her about us? Are you having regrets?”
“No regrets about us,” he reassured her, “and somehow, she already knew about us. I'm not sure how, but she did.” He reached over, placing a comforting hand on her thigh and gently stroking it.
“Good! I was starting to think you were going to ask me to turn this car around and drive you back to that devil woman!”
“Oh, definitely not! You know much I would rather be with you. I can't wait until we get to the hotel.”
Sara smiled and pushed the gas pedal, but as she crossed the train tracks, the car suddenly stopped. Despite pressing the gas again, the car remained immobile, the car remained stuck in place.
XXXXX
Her hands glided over the violin's smooth surface, fingers delicately plucking the strings. The sound swelled, filling the quiet house. She reached once more for her scotch, taking another sip.
She tried to make sense of the chaos that had become her life. It was as if a storm had swept away everything she held dear, leaving behind only wreckage and ruin.
XXXXX
The engine hummed, and the wheels screeched against the railroad tracks, but the car wouldn't budge. Sara switched off the engine, then restarted it, pressing the gas again.
“Why isn't it moving?” Mr. Vilonte questioned.
Sara slammed her palm against the steering wheel, exclaiming, “I have no idea!”
As the warning bell sounded and the barriers lowered, he yelled at her to hit the gas—the train was nearing. With the car still stuck, Mr. Vilonte suggested they ditch it and run to safety.
However, when he pressed the ejection button, his seat belt tightened around him, holding Sara back as well. Panic surged through them. They frantically pulled at their seatbelts and pressed the ejection button with growing desperation.
Mr. Vilonte glanced out the window, his eyes widening in alarm as the freight train drew nearer, its horn blaring loudly.
XXXXX
The shot glass tumbled from her fingers, hitting the wooden floor with a clang and rolling away, leaving a trace of spilled scotch. Gripping the violin tightly with both hands, her hold grew stronger, fueled by a rage that heated her blood.
She opened her mouth, unleashing a guttural scream that echoed through the room. Clutching the violin by its delicate neck, she hoisted it high and forcefully slammed it onto the table with all her might. The instrument shattered upon impact, with strings snapping and splinters scattering in all directions.
Tears welled in her eyes. She raised the broken instrument and flung it against the wall. Moving to the scattered pieces, she lifted her foot and stomped down on the pieces, envisioning each stomp as a blow to her husband's face.
“Fucking bastard! You and your trash whore!”
When she was lost in the field of mirrors, each mirror presented a window into a potential future. She had watched their entangled figures in bed, and overcome by the sight, she took a rock and shattered the glass. But the pieces reassembled on their own, replaying the scene before her again.
In one mirror, a different scene played before. George appeared smart in his suit, yet his hands were bound behind him as he was led into court. The judge pronounced him guilty, struggling to keep his composure as he read aloud the details of the horrific crime. His voice was thick with revulsion.
Then in another, she witnessed her granddaughter growing up without a father, while her mother was lost in profound depression. Friends and neighbors turned their backs on the family, and as school bullying and financial problems escalated, they were forced to move from house to apartment, ultimately finding themselves living out of their car.
Victoria's cackling laughter surrounded her. “See what will become of your family.” Mrs. Vilonte covered her ears, pleading. “Stop it! Stop laughing! I don't want to hear it!”
“Oh, but look, not all of your future is bleak. Sometimes, there's a glimmer of sunshine after the rain.”
“Lies!”
“Look in that mirror. Open your eyes. See for yourself.”
She turned to see a mirror revealing Gabrielle in bed, restless and tossing. Her eyes clenched shut, sweat glistening on her brow as she cried out for her mother. Beside her was a small red creature, with thin arms and legs, bearing the face and tusks of a swine.
The sight was deeply unsettling. The mere sight of the creature filled her with an overwhelming sense of disgust, as she gazed upon an abomination that defied nature itself.
XXXXX
The crash happened in an instant. As the train barreled forward, the car was crushed beneath its force metal twisting and bending, windows exploding into shards. The deafening noise of metal grinding and glass shattering overwhelmed him.
A powerful force hurled him into the air. Then, as fast as it had all happened, his vision darkened to black. When he finally came to, he was upside down, held in place by the seat belt. He glanced towards Sara, but she appeared as a red blur; his vision still clearing.
Tentatively reaching out, he felt her warm, soft skin, which was damp. Bringing his hand closer, he saw his fingers were covered in blood mingled with fragments of flesh.
The air thickened around him as the devastating realization washed over him like a tidal wave, leaving him numb. His fingers clenched into fists, nails digging into his palms as he struggled to hold back his grief.
In that moment, Mr. Vilonte felt his soul enveloped by a darkness so deep that it seemed impossible to find his way back to the surface. But, suddenly, the stink of gasoline blended with burning metal and rubber reached him, pulling him back to reality.
He knew he had to escape the car immediately. His fingers fumbled for the ejection button, but hesitated when the ground started to shake and he spotted the hooves of what appeared to be a large goat approaching.
XXXXX
Her breath came in ragged, uneven gasps, each one a struggle as she grappled with the overwhelming emotions that threatened to eat her up. She steadied herself against the wall before bending down to gather the broken violin pieces. She tossed them one by one into the fireplace, dousing them with lighter fluid and setting them ablaze.
As the fire consumed the wood, it crackled and hissed, releasing tiny embers that spiraled upwards like fiery spirits seeking escape. The varnish on the violin began to bubble and blister, turning from a glossy sheen to a charred, matte texture.
Victoria's bones began to smolder, its fibers unraveling and curling as they were consumed by the heat. The scent that filled the room was a mix of burning bones and melting varnish, a pungent aroma that stung the nostrils and lingered in the air.
She sank into the sofa chair, taking a swig directly from the scotch bottle. A blend of relief and closure washed over her as she watched the flames reduce the violin to ashes.
