2024.05.19 00:45 KayakRifleman Talking with Predators part 4 (NoP Fanfic)

All right here it is finally, thank you all for your patience and let's hope chapter 5 is a little more expedient. As usual I hope you enjoy and would love to get everyone's thoughts.
4: Memory transcription subject: Zeak, Harchen orphan, citizen of the Venlil Republic. Date: standardized human time July 13th 2136.
The sky was a roaring mass of fire and pungent black smoke that choked out the light of the sun. As I ran down the street, green blood flowed like a broad shallow river. It splashed up with every step I took, sticking to my scales, the smell of it made me feel sick. As the piercing wail of the emergency sirens seemed to grow louder and louder with every step I took making my ears ring and filling my head with a thunderous pain. My heart pounded, my lungs were on fire, and my legs felt like they were made of lead.
A herd of towering blurry figures appeared out of nowhere and ran past me, some almost knocking me down. In their panic they began to look more like crazed wild animals than people. I cried for help but they couldn't hear me. I waved my paws then grabbed one of them a male Venlil, tightening my grip with all the strength I had hoping this would get his attention. He threw me off like I was trash, less than trash. I turned around and continued pleading for anyone to help me, reaching out for others. But their frantic idiot eyes looked only straight ahead and not down, never down, as the herd passed me.
I turned back around and continued to run, blood splashing up soaking me all the way to my knees. I stumbled, my legs were so tired I could barely stand, and I fell down catching myself, plunging my paws into blood as deep as my wrists. I felt myself scream but I couldn't hear it over the ringing in my ears. A scrap of paper gently floated past me, a single word written on it that echoed in my mind ā€œWeakling.ā€ It passed and four more took its place, ā€œCowardā€, ā€œLiarā€, ā€œOath breakerā€, ā€œMurderer.ā€ I screamed in rage and slapped the pieces of paper aside, blood splashing onto my snout, but the meanings of those words remained. Getting back up I stumbled forward, and fell down again. Then with an effort born out of sheer desperation I managed to stand again lurching forward. My legs were too tired to run but I had to keep going, I had to save them. Or at least her, please Protector if you're listening please let me save at least her.
It felt like I was searching for an endless time. Lurching forward, stumbling, falling down, getting back up, lurching forward once more. Eventually I saw it and my heart fell into the pit of my stomach. My family's car was turned over on its roof, the driver's side had been caved in. It was engulfed in fire and thick black smoke that rose up into the sky. I struggled forward and when I reached it I collapsed, my knees hitting the hot pavement. The smell of burning metal and something else I didn't know assaulted my senses making my stomach turn. Every muscle in my body begged me to run away. Calling out their names l looked inside, and a wave of nausea and horror flooded through me.
I turned away and vomited, then reached up with my blood soaked paws and covered my eyes. Those words thundered in my head making me think it was going to burst open, as hot tears welled up. ā€œWEAKLING! COWARD! LIAR! OATH BREAKER! MURDERER! MURDERER! MURDERER! MURDERER! ā€œI'm sorry I'm sorry, I should have stayed, I should have helped. Why did I run?ā€ I wailed, still unable to hear myself. Someone rested a delicate paw on my shoulder, and the world went quiet. As the pain in my head melted away.
My eyes snapped open and I was greeted by the gentle ringing of my alarm. In a rush of adrenaline I leaped out of bed not even bothering to wipe the sleep out of my eyes. Running out of my bedroom and down the narrow hallway towards the living room. Convincing myself It had all just been a horrible, horrible nightmare and everything was alright. Mom and Dad would be fixing breakfast, Dad softly singing a Harchen folk song while making something savory and delicious as mom sang along in harmony, preparing something special for my baby sister Naila. Oh yes and Naila, she would probably be sitting on a cushion in the sunny part of the living room. Holding her crooked tail, a birth defect which my parents said could be fixed when she was older. And making excited chirping noises at my arrival, while sunlight shone against her emerald scales. I loved my baby sister, I knew other kids resented having a younger sibling. Dismissing their responsibilities and spending less time with their family and more with their friends. I never once felt that way, the moment Naila hatched I devoted every spare minute I had to her. Finding music that would help her fall asleep, watching over her when my mom needed a break. Excitedly telling her about the day's events and what I learned at school, especially what I learned in computer science which was my favorite class.
ā€œMom! Dad!ā€ I yelled bursting into the living room. ā€œI just had the worstā€¦ā€ My voice trailed off as I was greeted with nothing ā€œdream.ā€ My heart tightened painfully in my chest, as I frantically ran through the house throwing open every door, knowing that they had to be here somewhere. They were just playing a game on me that was all, a game I would tell them I didn't appreciate. After the final door had been opened and no one was there to yell ā€œSurprise!ā€ My body slumped and I felt heavy as reality set back in, and the memories of what happened hit me like a hammer. I made my way back down the hall to my room, tail dragging behind me as I crawled back into bed. Wrapping myself tightly in a blanket, trying to find some comfort.
It must have been hours I lay there feeling numb all over, wishing I could get up the energy to just cry. I think I might have fallen asleep at one point. If I did it was a dreamless sleep, thank the stars for that. Eventually I did get up, sitting cross-legged on my bed, resting my chin in my paws, staring holes into the wall. I took a deep breath and side numbly looked out the window, searching for anything to distract myself with.
It was overcast, and eerily quiet. The emergency sirens had stopped blaring yesterday mere hours after everyone had gotten to the bunkers. The bodies of the dead had already been collected and their blood cleaned from the pavement. So as to not attract any predators into the neighborhood. I saw my neighbor A'shul was home, his white vehicle was sporting some new dents. I wondered, when he got into his vehicle yesterday morning and drove to the nearest bunker; did he try to help anyone? Or was he thinking only of himself? I suppose it didn't matter really. Nothing mattered.
I turned my head away and looked around my small room taking in everything, every trinket, misplaced item, my old second-hand desk, a big green crackle finished monster. Better suited for a Venlil than a young Harchen, heck I needed a stool just to use it. I had gotten it for basically nothing about a year ago, when the local extermination office was getting rid of their old furniture. All it took was a small bribe and they put it in my bedroom when no one was home. My parents, but especially my mom we're not happy when they saw it the next day. They would tell me at least once a week that It was too big for me and they were going to get rid of that eyesore. ā€œWouldn't you like something a little more modern dear?ā€ My mom would ask, practically pleading for me to say yes. I used to pray that my parents would just shut up and stop bugging me about that stupid desk. I thought it was great, it made me think of private detective Bal from the exterminators show. Bal was a no nonsense Harchen who was so often pivotal in tracking down the predator or predator diseased person. My desk was very similar to his and that's why I wanted it. But at that moment, I would have given anything to hear those words again.
On the desk there was an ornate wooden box, with a fruit tree in full bloom delicately carved into its lid. There were also scuff marks where it had been dropped, and a deep crack running down the center. It was known as a blessing box, Naila's blessing box to be specific. When she hatched nearly ten months ago the whole neighborhood had been invited to come and write a blessing on a scrap of paper and put it in the box. I had written one too, not a blessing but a promise, a promise I couldn't keep. The belief was that if kept near the infant, the combined power of all those blessings would keep the hatchling safe until their first birthday. Where on that day the box would be set on fire and burned to ash. Releasing those blessings back into the world so they may protect someone else. It was an old tradition and not commonly practiced anymore, but as my dad always said ā€œIt is important to keep the old traditions alive my son. Both in song and action.ā€ I remember asking him why? And he looked at me like he had been waiting for that question for a long time. ā€œBecauseā€ He said, his tail moving with authority. ā€œSomeday when you lose your way, and you don't know where to turn to. You will always have something to guide you back to your center.ā€
Looking away from the box not wanting to look or think about the damn thing, I shifted my gaze down to my bedside table. There was a little holographic projector showing pictures of me, Mom, Dad and Naila on holiday back on Fahl, the Harchen home world to see family. I was born and raised on Venlil prime, so I didn't really know any of my extended family. There was a picture of my mom and Naila sleeping at the beach. Nailaā€™s crooked tail coiled around momā€™s arm, their scales a deep emerald in the light of the sun. The picture changed to me and Dad putting the finishing touches on a sand skyscraper taller than him. I had to sit on his shoulders to place the last bucket full of sand on top. Both of our scales were as blue as the ocean. My tail flicked sadly thinking of that day. I reached over and turned the holo protector off.
My holopad lay next to me flashing, alerting me to an urgent message. I hadn't really looked at my holopad since yesterday morning. Picking it up I tapped the flashing icon. It was an official government statement signed by Governor Tarva herself, saying that the humans Noah and Sarah were peaceful explorers, and that they only wished to be our friends. ā€˜No, that's impossible, theyā€™re predators. Predators don't want peace, they want to conquer, kill and eat us,ā€™ stunned and confused I kept reading. The rest of the message stated that the two human scientists were completely unaware there was intelligent life of any kind on Venlil prime. ā€˜No! Lies! Predator lies!ā€™ I yelled inside my head. Something hot began to form in my chest as I read the last bit. Governor Tarver had shown the two predators footage of the Arxur torturing Venlil pups. It said that the humans were capable of empathy and felt deeply saddened and angered by what they saw. They vowed to do everything in their power to get their united nations into the war against the Arxur.
I scrolled all the way down and what I saw stopped me cold. Standing in her office being flanked by General Kam, stood Governor Tarva. Beside them looming over the two Venlil one bigger than the other, both of them covered in some sort of protective suit. Their faces were obscured by dark visored helmets. It said that the larger of the two Noah was male, and the smaller one was Sarah female. Sarah had her hands clasped in front of her, while Noah kept his to his side. Neither were acting threatening, and neither Tarva or Kam looked to be harmed in any way.
Something in me snapped, that hot thing inside my chest erupted and I could feel my scales turn black. I very carefully set my holopad down beside me, then I uncrossed my legs and got out of bed. I stood there in the center of my room shaking slightly, feeling terribly calm as white hot rage flooded my body, spreading to my paws and all the way out to the tip of my long tail. It never had to happen, the panic, the stampede, the death, we could have stayed home and avoided those people. ā€˜Noā€¦ no not people,ā€™ a bitter thought came over me. ā€˜They're not people at all, people stop and help, like that Venlil girl Kayleik, she was a person maybe the only one. But the rest of them were just wild animals, masquerading as sentient beings. ā€˜Do you really think you're any better, coward?ā€™ Some internal voice said.
A sudden impulse took control of me and I grabbed my desks stool and hurled it against the wall. It dented the wall and bounced off still in one piece. Enraged, I leaped forward grabbing it by the legs, then turned around and slammed it into my desk. The sheet metal dented and the green crackle finish paint flew off, but the stool made of good dense wood from the string fruit tree stayed whole. ā€œDAMN THEM! DAMN THEM! DAMN THEM! DAMN THEM!ā€ I screamed, slamming the stool down again and again, my tail whipping wildly, striking the bed and the floor. The tip of my tail began to hurt, which only fueled my anger. Finally I heard cracking and wood began to splinter off. They didn't have to die, we could have stayed home. The muscles in my shoulders burned and my heart pounded as hot tears began to well up. I brought it down one final time narrowly avoiding the blessing box, and the stool broke in two. I hurled the pieces away from me, one slamming into the corner the other crashing through the window.
I leaned against the desk catching my breath as tears flowed freely. ā€˜Well that definitely showed them didn't it. Hey I got a great idea! Let's go break some more stuff, that will definitely make you feel better. Idiot!ā€™ That internal voice said all coldness and bitterness. As I cried, the burning in my chest cooled, and I was filled with the same numbness as before. After a while my stomach growled, reminding me I hadn't eaten since yesterday. I moved sluggishly out of my bedroom and went straight to the kitchen, quickly grabbed some fruit and left to go and watch the view screen or something. The moment I entered the living room, memories came flooding back. Mom and Dad laughing, Naila sleeping peacefully, the lingering aroma of breakfast, and the warmth of our home. But now it was all gone and I was alone. For the first time in my life, I had no one to go to.
It was right then I realized I couldn't stay here anymore. This place felt like a tomb, all cold and filled with the memories of the dead. Besides, if I stayed here someone would eventually send the authorities to come and get me. Ship me off to an orphanage, foster care or maybe to my extended family back on Fahl. I balked at the idea of being forced to live with people I didn't know or trust. Memories of yesterday's stampede invaded my mind and I shuddered. I couldn't trust any of them not anymore. No, there was one person I could think of that maybe I could trust. Turning around I went back to my room, found my backpack and grabbed my holopad, the blessing box, the holo projector and my blanket stuffing it into my pack. Then I went to the kitchen and filled my pack up the rest of the way with dried fruit and vegetable snacks. With my backpack looking like it was going to burst I shouldered it and made my way to the front door. When I rested my scaly paw on the door handle I stopped and looked back at the place that was once my home. ā€œGoodbyeā€ I said in a shaky voice, knowing this would be the last time I would never set foot in this house. With my head low I opened the door and stepped out, into the dim light of a new unfamiliar world.

Best Travel Toys For 5 Month Old
Best Travel Toys For 5 Month Old
Exploring the world with a baby can be an exciting adventure. But, while they may not have any say in where you go and what you do, itā€™s important to bring along some of their favorite things too!
Choosing the right travel toys for your 5 month old is essential for ensuring that both your little one and yourselves are happy on the road. As a travel expert specializing in infant journeys, I'm here to guide you through selecting the Best Travel Toys For 5 Month Old that will keep them entertained and content during those long car or plane rides!
Rattles And Teethers
Traveling with an infant can be a daunting task, but it doesn't have to be! With the right travel toys for your 5-month-old baby, you can make sure that every journey is enjoyable.
Rattles and teethers are essential for any trip - they give babies something to hold, soothe them when upset, and provide hours of entertainment.
For traveling purposes, lightweight rattles are ideal - look for ones made from soft materials like cloth or silicone, as those will easily fit in a diaper bag. If possible, find options that come with different textures and shapes; this way you'll keep your little one's attention longer. Soothing sounds are also key: pick out some musical options that will help lull them into peaceful slumber while on the go.
When choosing rattles and teethers for your 5 month old baby, always consider portability and convenience over size and complexity. Traveling should never mean sacrificing comfort; by equipping yourself with the right tools you can ensure your child has all the sensory stimulation they need without having to lug around extra items along the journey. And who knows? You might even enjoy it too!
Books And Music
Now that you have chosen the rattles and teethers for your 5 month old, it is time to think about other toys they can enjoy while traveling. Books and music are great options since they both provide an educational opportunity as well as entertainment during long trips.
For books, look into interactive ones with bright colors and fun characters. These types of books will keep your baby entertained throughout the journey:
A touch-and-feel book with different textures on each page
An alphabet board book that teaches letter recognition
A pop-up book made from sturdy paper that stands up to wear and tear
Interactive music is also a great tool for keeping your infant engaged during travel. Consider these musical items:
A toy instrument like a xylophone or drum set so your little one can make their own tunes
Educational songs featuring animal noises, counting, letters, etc.
Playlists of calming classical music for naps in transit
With books and music at hand, you'll be able to create a learning environment no matter where you are! Keep in mind that safety comes first when selecting any type of toy; always double-check age recommendations before purchasing anything for your 5 month old.
Soft Toys
It won't be long before you and your 5-month old baby are packing up the car for a road trip. As an expert in infant travel, I recommend having soft toys, to keep them entertained as well as comfortable during their travels. Here's a list of some of my favorite travel toy companions:
ToyAge RangeWeightTeddy Bear Rattle0+ Months2 lbs.Cuddle & Coo Owl3+ Months.99 lbs.Soft Book0+ Months1 lbLamaze Activity Gym0+ Months4 lbs.
Soft toys are great when traveling with an infant because they provide sensory stimulation through bright colors and engaging textures. They also give babies something familiar to hold onto while exploring new sights, sounds, and smells on the open road. Plus, they're small enough to fit into diaper bags or backpacks without taking up too much space! When it comes time to say goodbye to home comforts, these beloved friends can serve as a reminder that no matter how far away from home we may go, there will always be something along for the ride that is sure to make us feel loved and secure - even if itā€™s only just a little plush bear rattle!
Activity Mats
Traveling with a 5-month old can be both exciting and daunting. To make it easier, having the right travel toys is essential.
Activity mats are perfect for keeping your baby entertained during long trips. Theyā€™re lightweight, foldable, and easily stored away when not in use. Plus they come in many different designs that promote imaginative play and sensory exploration through tactile materials.
Activity mats provide endless hours of fun at home or on the go because theyā€™re made from durable yet soft baby-safe materials like cotton and foam which makes them travel-friendly too! Your little one will love exploring all the textures and colors of the mat while developing motor skills as well as hand-eye coordination. Theyā€™ll also love getting lost in their own world of pretend play using various shapes, patterns, and objects found on the activity mat!
Your 5 month old deserves to enjoy every journey with you just as much as you do! With an activity mat, they wonā€™t only have something entertaining to play with but something that promotes learning too ā€“ making it a win-win situation for everyone involved!
So why wait? Get creative with your travels by investing in some portable toys that your baby can cherish no matter where life takes them.
Stacking Blocks And Puzzles
Ah, the joys of traveling with an infant! Nothing quite compares to it. It's a special time - and one that can be made even more enjoyable when you have the right travel toys for your 5-month old little one.
Here are some ideas that just might make life on the go a bit easier:
Stacking blocks and puzzles: These are great for helping babies develop their fine motor skills while learning about colors, shapes, numbers, letters and other concepts. Not only do they provide hours of fun but also help create strong cognitive connections in young minds.
Building Blocks: This is another favorite among five month olds because they allow them to experiment with gravity as well as discover new ways to build structures by connecting pieces together. Plus, building blocks come in all sorts of colors and shapes which helps stimulate tactile senses as well sensory development too.
Sensory Toys: Finally, consider investing in a few sensory toys (rattles, teethers, or stuffed animals) that will help engage the babyā€™s sense of hearing, touch, and sight while on the move. Just make sure they aren't too noisy so as not to disturb other travelers!
Traveling with an infant doesn't need to be stressful ā€“ especially if you plan ahead and pick up a couple of age-appropriate items like stacking blocks or puzzles before heading out on your journey.
With these simple tips in mind, you'll be able to enjoy yourselves during those long days spent away from home without breaking the bank either!
Push And Pull Toys
When it comes to traveling with a 5-month old, push-and-pull toys can provide an invaluable source of entertainment.
From bouncy seats to travel strollers, these items are guaranteed to keep your little one engaged during even the longest trips.
If you're searching for something that's easy to transport and set up quickly, a bouncy seat is ideal. Its lightweight design makes it simple to move from place to place without taking up too much space. Plus, its soft material is comfortable enough for prolonged periods of use.
Travel strollers offer more stability than traditional ones due to their durable frames and tight turns capabilities. The ergonomic handlebars make them particularly convenient when navigating busy streets or tight corners in airports. Furthermore, they contain ample storage compartments so parents can easily store all the essentials while on the go ā€“ like snacks, extra clothes, and diapers!
All in all, push and pull toys are must-haves for any parent looking for a stress-free experience when travelling with young babies.
Activity Centers
When it comes to travel toys for a 5 month old, activity centers offer a great range of educational benefits.
Not only can they help promote cognitive development, but they also provide a stimulating environment to help your little one practice their motor skills.
Before you buy an activity center, it's important to ensure you're following all safety guidelines to ensure the safety of your baby.
Educational Benefits
When it comes to educational benefits, activity centers are a great way for 5 month olds to learn and develop new skills! They're designed with language development and motor skill growth in mind.
Plus, the bright colors and fun sounds provide plenty of stimulation for their growing minds. And when you're traveling, these all-in-one toys can be easily packed away or even attached to the stroller so your little one has access to them wherever they go.
With an activity center, you can rest assured that your child's learning process is not put on pause during your travels - allowing them to continue to grow and have fun along the journey! So why wait? Invest in an activity center today for your 5-month-old traveler ā€“ because nothing beats being able to take education on the road.
Motor Skill Development
As a dedicated travel expert and consultant for baby/infant travels, I know how important it is to help your little one grow even while on the go.
Motor skill development can be achieved in many different ways with an activity center! Playing with buttons, pulling strings, pushing levers, or turning knobs - they're all great ways to enhance their motor skills.
Plus, these activities will also encourage socializing as you talk about what each part does.
What's more? These toys are designed so that they can easily transition from playtime to bathtime without any fuss.
So don't wait - get an activity center today and watch your child learn new skills wherever the road takes them!
Safety Guidelines
When traveling with an infant or toddler, it's important to consider safety guidelines. This is especially true when using activity centers!
Make sure that the center has a secure base and won't move once placed on any surface. Additionally, avoid leaving your little one unattended for long periods of time - even if they are sitting in their activity center.
Babysitting tips such as having another adult present can help you enjoy some well-deserved freedom while still keeping your child safe. Don't forget: use common sense and make sure all parts are age appropriate before letting them play!
With these simple rules, there's no reason why both parents and children alike shouldn't be able to travel safely while enjoying the benefits of an activity center.
Baby Gyms
The activity centers are great for keeping your 5 month old occupied at home, but when it comes to travel safety and entertainment on the airplane, baby gyms have you covered.
Baby gyms come in different shapes and sizes that easily fold away so they can fit into your carry-on luggage with no problem. Many of them even come equipped with a mirror, hanging toys, and activities designed specifically to stimulate developing minds.
Baby gyms provide ample opportunities for exploration during flights, as well as being safe enough to use in confined spaces like an airplane cabin or hotel room. You don't need to worry about loose parts or small pieces getting lost; most models incorporate all the elements into one interactive unit.
Traveling parents will also appreciate that the setup is quick and easy ā€“ just unroll it from its compact carrying case and pop out the connecting rods - so there's plenty of time left over for exploring new places!
These versatile items make long journeys more enjoyable by providing endless hours of fun without taking up too much space in your travel bag. Plus, given their unique designs, your 5 month old won't be able to resist discovering what lies inside these colorful play areas!
Playpens
As a travel expert specializing in baby/infant travel, I recommend playpens as one of the best options for keeping your 5 month old safe and entertained during trips. Playpens offer convenience and portability, allowing you to keep an eye on your little one wherever you go. Plus, they can make any unfamiliar environment more secure and comfortable for babies.
Here are some tips when choosing the right playpen:
Look for models with adjustable heights so that it can grow with your childā€™s needs.
Select lightweight designs that fold easily and come with carrying cases or straps for extra mobility.
Choose materials that are easy to clean and transport without taking away from comfort.
Make sure the playpen meets safety standards like ASTM International Standards before purchasing.
When traveling with your infant, it's important to have a secure place where you can set them down safely while still having access to their belongings such as toys or diapers. Playpens provide peace of mind by giving parents control over their childā€™s surroundings without sacrificing freedom or spontaneity of movement during holidays or excursions abroad.
The key is finding a balance between practicality, portability, and kid-friendly featuresā€”playpens provide just that!
Stuffed Animals
Stuffed animals may seem like a classic, but often overlooked option when it comes to travel toys for 5-month-olds. But don't be fooled: they can provide just as much comfort and entertainment on the road as all those other fancy gadgets.
Portable cuddles and soft sensory stimulation are what make these playthings so great ā€“ not to mention that there's something special about loving a stuffed animal from infancy through adulthood.
One of the best things about travel toys in this category is their size. Tiny teddy bears, bunnies, and dinosaurs fit easily into carry-on bags (or even pockets) without taking up too much space or adding extra weight.
These small wonders also come at an affordable price point, allowing parents to stock up on multiple items without breaking the bank. Plus, since most babies love snuggling with something soft, it's easy to find one that suits your little one's individual preferences.
You can have some fun playing around with different textures when you select your baby's new companion. Experimenting with fabrics like plush fur and corduroy gives them plenty of tactile exploration opportunities while providing comforting companionship whenever needed during your travels together.
So go ahead and give the tried-and-true stuffed animal a chance: odds are it'll become your infant's favorite toy in no time!
Frequently Asked Questions
What Age Should My Child Be Before I Start Traveling With Them?
When it comes to traveling with your infant, the most important factor to consider is their age.

I can't be the only one on this sub traveling with little kids, so I wanted to share this recommendation because it's been GREAT. Here is my review of the RideSafer harness and the TravelSmarter booster seat combo for 1.5 bag travel. We have used this in the US & the UK, with a 5 year old.
Why did we use the RideSafer? I have numerous friends who've been burned renting a car seat (i.e. seat wasn't there when they arrived, was super dirty, was sized for an infant when they have a toddler... etc). When he was smaller, we traveled with the Cosco Scenera Next, and that seat is GREAT if you are traveling with a baby or toddler. Travel seats for preschoolers are significantly heavier and/or more complex/fiddly (e.g. the Mifold HiFold). Many 4-6 year olds aren't mature enough to use a booster alone (more info on that here: https://csftl.org/harness-or-booster). My kid is pretty good, but I don't like having to be the posture police while driving.
The RideSafer is a vest that positions the seat belt so it can safely protect kids, similar to a booster in theory but the tethe harness combo makes it easier for little kids to remain in an appropriate position at all times. It even kept my kiddo in the right position when he fell asleep. Its optional in the US, but for the UK we had to combine the harness with the company's travel backless booster seat as boosters are approved in the UK by the RideSafer is not when used alone. This has the added benefit of lifting my kid a little so he can see out the car window. The harness is very easy to move between vehicles, and would be useful if you take ubers/taxis (have moved a giant Britax into an Uber - not ideal. )
For travel, the vest packs small enough to fit in a suitcase (you can't use the RideSafer on the plane. ) The booster comes with a little backpack - we used it as my kid's carry-on and put both the booster and the harness inside. They're extremely light and met IcelandAir carry-on requirements. I suppose you could check the backpack, but this is a one bag sub and either way, I avoid checking car seats after Iberia lost my stroller years ago - they returned it eventually but it was pretty beat up!
Here is the best feature for my family. My kiddo gets motion sickness. We were driving on a tiny Scottish road and he unfortunately barfed all over the harness and booster. I have had to clean car seats in hotel bathrooms under similar circumstances - it is awful, there are a zillion pieces, some of them don't come off for easy washing, they have tiny crevices you need to clean out with toothpicks. With the RideSafer, I was able to soak the whole harness and the boosters cover in the bathtub with mild soapy water, rinse well, hang to dry, and everything was in perfect condition + totally dry within 24h.
I know I sound like an ad for the RideSafer, so some cons. There is a learning curve to using the harness. In some countries, this thing isn't approved alone (so must be paired with a booster) or at all. It's not approved for use on planes. It's expensive. Some kids could DEFINITELY unhook this thing from the seat belt - my kid doesn't do this, but if your child likes to unbuckle their car seat while you're driving, this isn't for you. Sizing is confusing - my husband had to call the company we purchased from to confirm. There are many random kids seat belt harness dupes online - especially on Amazon and they are generally NOT safe to use.
In summary, I think this is a great option for traveling light with kids - especially if you're in the US or Canada where you can use the harness alone. We'll also use it at home as a backup seat when friends visit and need to ride in our car. Hope this is helpful to other parents on this sub!

2024.05.18 19:40 N0tR0cketSurgery 37 [M4F] #SoCal #LosAngeles #Southbay Hopeful Romantic Looking for a Partner

Hi there,
I am looking for a partner who can match my energy, effort, and thoughtfulness. I want to wake up and think to myself "she is too good for me" and make sure that I remind her of that often. Above all, I am looking for someone who is emotionally available, caring, communicative, and capable of giving AND receiving love. I am a father, divorced, and really excited for the next chapter of my life. I imagine building a home that is not only a comfortable place for us but also a safe harbor for all - family, friends, and whoever needs support!
I cherish being a father! I have a 4 year old. Open to more kids; either existing ones or if we'll need to make brand new ones. :p. Here's a peek into our lives.
That one time we almost went viral.
Some of our adventures.
I'm an aerospace engineer, working for an exciting startup. I'm passionate about my field and can talk about it endlessly (fair warning!). just as important - I would love to listen to you talk about what you are passionate about. Let me see the way your eyes light up when you nerd out about your favorite topic!
I am comfortable in a diverse range of settings. Whether it's exploring new cities and countries (20ish countries so far, a lot more to go), backpacking, camping, checking out a new musical in town, or road-trips, I am always up for new experiences. I've recently campervanned for a few weeks in New Zealand with a toddler - talk about an adventure!
I have my ish together! mentally, fiscally, emotionally, and professionally... and I hope that you do as well! I'm comfortable in my skin and with who and what I am, while I continue to improve myself.
What else! Dad jokes, growth mindset, self-betterment, avid non-fiction readelistener, personal finances / planning for the future, fixing and building things.
My beard has a three-month cycle, but we can negotiate that. šŸ˜„
I even find everyday tasks therapeutic ā€“ yes, even cleaning!

If you're curious to learn more or have questions, shoot me a message. Let's get to know each other!

2024.05.18 19:12 LilBoot95 Would it be too risky to attempt a car ride (I know some call it stress bonding) my two baby buns with my adult bun with a necessary trip to the vet without another person in the car to supervise them?

Would it be too risky to attempt a car ride (I know some call it stress bonding) my two baby buns with my adult bun with a necessary trip to the vet without another person in the car to supervise them?
Hi all! Back again.
I have two baby brother bunnies, just under 12 weeks old (Toffee and Bean) and an almost 1 year old adult bun (Cinnabon). So far I haven't tried any real attempt to bond the brothers with Cinnabon because they're still under 12 weeks and not neutered, so I know any bond they form will just be a baby bond and dynamics will change once they hit puberty and get snipped.
I have been letting them sniff each other through their respective enclosures and have on one occasion accidentally let one of the baby buns out while Cinnabon was having her free roam time and things seem pretty good, but because the baby buns are still so tiny I didn't leave them out together after Cinnabon nipped at his face. I know nipping and humping is normal but I was worried that things would escalate and ruin and chance I had to bond them in the future. I want to try and properly introduce them in a neutral territory when they're older and neutered.
I do, however, have to take them all to the vet today. The babies are getting their first set of vaccinations and nail trims and Cinnabon is also getting her nails trimmed. The vet is about a 10-15 minute car ride and I have two cages - a medium cage that can fit all 3 of them and a smaller backpack that can extend out and fit one. Would it be too risky to try and put all 3 in the medium cage without a second person in the car to watch them for the trip to the vet? Or should I just play it safe and keep them separated?

2024.05.18 15:44 necrololiconSV Unranked could really use a simple rework.

So, I was thinking unranked could benefit from some changes. It currently feels like you can only choose between playing ultra sweaty tryhard mode (ranked once you hit your ceiling), or playing versus toddlers, with no in-between.
Which is a problem if you enjoy playing weird experimental builds or just like casually going for favorite strategies, because ranked eventually funnels players into playing only the strongest combinations or getting really lucky with unique highrolls.
And well, playing against half empty backpacks in unranked with items placed using no rhyme or reason quickly becomes boring as well.
So, how about a simple solution, where in unranked, you can choose the rank you queue against? For instance, maybe you're most comfortable at gold rank.
This only works because the match-ups aren't in real-time, so you can match against copies of players from ranked, without actually entering your build into the ranked pool itself.
Naturally, you wouldn't gain or lose rank from this format as well.
Anyways, I only bring this up because I think the game would be more enjoyable for more people this way.
TLDR it'd be the equivalent of having a quasi "difficulty selection," whereas currently we only have Expert mode and baby mode, when I want to be able to access the tiers in between.

2024.05.18 04:55 plessis204 I have some baby items to give away to a needy family

We have a crib/ big kid bed hybrid and a hiking baby carrier backpack thing that we're looking to give away, but to a family that might otherwise not have the means to afford this stuff. Both are pretty nice and I don't want to list them only to have some dickturd come get them and just list them for sale for profit. I'm in the Summerside area. We just dropped off a bunch of toys to the salvation army and I didn't like the way people were salivating at everything we were dropping off, it felt like a bunch of vultures circling us.

2024.05.18 04:12 I_Blameava AITA for not considering my parents to be my parents?

So me (14 F) my two little sisters now (12 F) and (10 F). a little context both of my parents have a very long history with drug abuse I mean like my mom has overdosed over like 20 times in the last 10 years and a very long criminal records and have gotten in trouble with CPS many many times and me and my sisters have been talked to by the social workers more times than we can count. So lets got back 6-7 years, everything was good for the most part and my dad (lets call him Jimmy and my mom Samantha for the stake of the post) and my sisters had this nice house where we all got our own rooms and we were living the american dream for the most part. But the only thing missing from my american dream was my mother, when my parents got divorced it was and actual shit show (Jimmy found out my mom Samantha was cheating on him). After my parents got a divorce nothing was the same ever again. (I know that sounds cheesy but it's the truth ). What I mean by that is that I didn't see my mom for over 2 years, whenever i would ask my dad if we could see our mom my dad would always reply with something along the lines of "The reason your mom isn't here right now is because she doesn't want to be here." Which to me and my sisters was absolutely heartbreaking for young kids to hear and so the more and more we would ask we started growing some sort of resentment of our mom and because of that we got a lot closer with Jimmy. (which now thinking about it he was a horrible parent but I'll get to that a bit farther down the post.) so lets fast forwards to about a year and a half ago when i was 12 my sisters were 8 and 10. We moved to a really small town with about 150-300 people there and we were living with our step-moms mom (our step-mom was an absolute sweetheart btw.) So about two and a half weeks of living there the cops show up to our door and walk in saying that me and my sisters have 10 minutes to pack as many things as we can and we drove to our grandmas house which we didn't know were we were going until we got into the car with everything we could fit into our tiny backpacks and we looked horrible we smelt horrible our hair greasier than McDonald's fries with ragged hair cuts and with holes in our clothes and shoes with miserable looks on our faces. It was only then we were told what was going on we were getting but into out of home placement with out grandma. When we got pulled from our house CPS already had enough evidence to take us from Jimmy and Samantha so they could start a case on them. We found out we were going to court which it was then when we also found out what they were doing (they as in my dad, mom and my step-mom) after i found out how long they've been using I broke down and cried about how much i hated them because it opened my eyes to how much Jimmy and Samantha had abused us and how we never had an actual stable childhood and made me realize how many fucked up things Jimmy and Samantha had done to us for example: steal our money that we worked our asses of from our lemonade stand, would talk shit about each other, would go days on end without making us food, anytime they would get money instead of getting groceries they would buy hard drugs like meth and heroine even though our fridge was empty and pantry had nothing but breadcrumbs and sugar, I had to raise my younger siblings and my newborn baby brother and when I mean raise my siblings I mean i did everything that a mother would do like i cooked for everybody even when my parents had a full blown party i had to cook for them too, I also cleaned up after everyone, did every single persons laundry, and I know there is more those are just the main ones. After I came to that realization every single ounce of love i had for my parents vanished right there and then, they weren't even my parents anymore. My parents loved my siblings and I, we just couldn't get past everything that they've done to us.

So let's fast forward again.... to now, this case has been open for 18 months and it just keeps hitting me that maybe if i was given to better parents i wouldn't have to deal with all of this hurt and PTSD (after the case opened I went to a special doctor and was diagnosed with Anxiety, Depression, PTSD, and metathesiophobia which is an intense fear of change, and more things I can't remember the names of) In court my parents tell us how sorry they are and that they've changed in ways that nobody could and that they would do better for us and wouldn't have a repeat of what happened. And then they would go into court and tell everyone that me and my sisters are being coerced into being told into what to say and manipulated being into being their pawns so my grandma can get us. Meanwhile almost half of my family is on my parents side and that Jimmy should get me and the rest of my siblings back and that he deserves to get us back and that he's come so far and is doing so good (Literally everybody involved in the case found out he relapsed like a week before court) so I guess that just about sums everything up. I don't really know if this is the right place to post this I guess I just need to know if I should consider giving them another chance because im being an complete ass or if what im doing is completely warnted . ( Oh i also forgot to add that me and my sisters refuse to have any communication with Jimmy and Samantha.)

2024.05.18 01:29 Le0nThotsky Yet another TTW crash (Fast Travel Edition)

Breaking news my fellow redditors!
I did a stupid
I come to present my load order and crash log for help figuring out where i went wrong on my modlist. Unfortunately for myself, I am a dumbass and somewhere along the line after adding a plethora more mods after working off the Begin Again list, suddenly i can no longer fast travel outside of D.C interior zones as I instead get fast traveled over to my desktop screen. Maybe if I'm lucky, I'll be presented with a big black.....texture before TTW crashes.
Here's my load order, go ahead point and laugh and tell me how I completely messed up my load order so I can go cry in the corner about it for 5 minutes then fix the problem. Unlike my irl preferences, please point out any red flags in the list so they can be avoided.

2024.05.18 00:30 FreyjaSturluson AON Evade 1.5: X42 or 500D?

I've finally decided to replace my old North Face backpack. For what I need, the Evade 1.5 seems like the perfect pack, but I'm not quite sure which material is best. I hope to use this for everyday use, as well as shorter trips(I work 48 hour shifts, and travel overseas to relatives) regularly. My focus is on longevity; I need my pack to survive being tossed into the back of the ambulance and carried around campus, even on days with light rain. I don't baby my backpacks, but I don't go out of my way to abuse them either. My understanding is that x42 has a bit more waterproofing and rip resistance, but shows wear much more readily, and the laminate can wear off over time. Anyone have any suggestions?

2024.05.17 19:07 Sybilish Cat appreciation post

Cat appreciation post
Send your cats pics with names and your favorite thing they do :) Iā€™ll start with my girls:
Sybil: bottle baby who thinks being a inch away from me is a life time sin, the second picture she was at the vet and watching people from her cat backpack lol, my favorite thing about her is that she has the cutest meows and will use her voice all day šŸ„ŗšŸ„ŗ
Noel: my eldest, who hates everyone but hair brushes, masc named but after ā€œthe first noelā€ song. My favorite thing about her is one side of her face is brown marking and the other is black, itā€™s reverse on her chest
Irelia: a void who decides that wearing water is more important than drinking it! My favorite thing about her is that she loves to lay on you with her belly on your belly. She will let anyone cradle her and do whatever you want without any fuss!

2024.05.17 18:09 Constant-Breakfast90 AITAH for telling my daughter to do something that can cause an allergic reaction?

I 26f am a bit of a dick, but I consider myself very reasonable and honestly a people pleaser till I'm pushed to that point. My daughter age 7 is in 1st grade and unfortunately this year has found out that not everyone is our friend. She's come up on a few bullies and I feel the school hasn't done jack shit to support their supposed (no bullying policy). Only time something is done about any given situation is when my daughter loses it and defends herself. She's the one that ends up in trouble for fighting back because "she hurt the other student". My kid has a quick left but regardless I'm nothing but pissed.
Yesterday I picked my daughter up from school and as per usual I asked her how school was. She tells me what she's learned and about arts and crafts. After telling me all the good of her day she informs me at lunch she sat by 2 classmates I'll call them A and B. Her and A were talking and eating lunch when B walked up and sat next to them. Everything was fine at first but B managed to talk A into grabbing my daughters chips she was actively eating and throw them into the trash. This isn't the first time. She obviously was mad and did the right thing by telling a yard guard. Mind you my child tries her hardest to be a neutral and unconfrontational individual. Nothing was done. She walked over and told another yard guard and this bitch had the nerve to just grab the chips from the trash and hand it back over to my daughter like problem solved. My daughter was visibly disgusted but was still kind and just put the chips at the bottom of her backpack. I lost my shit hearing this story. Who the fuck wants to eat food that's touched a trash can yet alone food that had a trashcan for housing for the past 15 minutes!? I've been to the office multiple times to talk about situations like this and I'm just speaking to walls at this point and my words toward the office now would spew nothing but venom and possibly catch me a case. Anyway this is where I could be the asshole. This morning before I sent my beautiful baby to school my husband packed up her lunch like normal. He asked her if she liked her peanutbutter crackers she had yesterday because she didnt eat them. She said yes but A is allergic to peanuts. Suddenly a light bulb popped up above my head like a cartoon and I told my daughter to look A dead in the face and rub her peanutbutter crackers all over her lunch even items still bagged. She said no at first because he is allergic. I told her harshly that I honestly didn't give a rats ass and if an allergic reaction has to be what it takes to get someone to stop fucking my kids food then so be it. She agreed. So my lovely redditors AITAH?

2024.05.17 17:07 ikieneng My fanfiction - episode 3!

My fanfiction - episode 3!
The next part is here! This episode is actually so long that I'm going to split it, so today, you're only getting part 2 of 3.
DISCLAIMERS (the same ones as before)
The point of this fanfiction is not to be a straight-up continuation of events with the same themes, intensity, and tone. If you go into it with those expectations, you are probably not going to like it. Rather, itā€™s supposed to be how I wish things went if these events were real life. The resolution you want for a real-life situation isnā€™t often the right choice for a show, but it can be incredibly beautiful. Think of what youā€™re about to read to be a separate show then.
Episode 1 of this fanfiction begins after the episode ā€œ2:00ā€ (season 2 episode 4), so it replaces the episode ā€œCakeā€ and the ones that follow it. This fanfiction expects you to have seen the entirety of seasons 1 and 2, so you should watch those first.
I myself am bursting into the story here. The narrator and me are the same. While my character is like 95% real me, donā€™t take events about my life described here as facts. Some aspects of my life have been changed for the story. In my head, I started writing like an ā€œalternate meā€ character in 2016, fulfilling a lot of the things that I wish I had in life, adding that to my story. Iā€™m not really from Ukraine. I speak fluent Ukrainian as a foreign language, I started learning it in 2014, and Iā€™ve talked to tons of people from there, but Iā€™m not from Ukraine. I also donā€™t have as much money as I do in the story. I wish lmao.
If you want to post your own fanfiction, feel free to do so! To get your own post flair for your fanfic, and to appear in the side bar, please message me.
Just some code, so the thumbnail of the first link isnā€™t used as the thumbnail of the post:

Part 2 (day 2)
During the first day of us being together in the attic, Leanne would not tell me about her powers yet or any aspect of how that played into the events with the doll, etc., because she knows how crazy the truth sounds. She's always kept it pretty much a secret from everyone outside of the Church of Lesser Saints (although Sean is slowly figuring it out), but with how we might not have a choice than to go the police if we run out of rations before someone comes up into the basement, she knows she has to tell me, because if the police come, they will figure out that there was a living baby there, which was Jericho reanimated by her, but what are the police going to think? That either Dorothy, Sean, Julian, or Leanne snatched a baby, and they're not going to believe any of the supernatural explanations that are the truth. So Leanne knows that she has to convince me of her powers somehow, so I can know the full picture of what happened, so we can come up with a plan for how to handle that. So while it's still our first day locked up together in the attic, she asks me if I'm left-handed or right-handed. I say I'm right-handed. Without telling me, she uses her powers so that when I wake up, I will have lost all sensation in my left hand. When waking up on day 2, at first, of course, I'm a freaked out, but then, she reveals to me that she did it because otherwise, I'd never believe that she really does have supernatural powers. While Iā€™m still pretty freaked out, she takes her Bible and prays over it while reciting some verses, and suddenly, my hand is back to normal.
https://preview.redd.it/wonqhlu0301d1.png?width=780&format=png&auto=webp&s=ab7872b90a369ef81293d4f8d95fef8298c355f3
Iā€™d need a minute to process what just happened, discovering the supernatural, and once Leanne has reassured me, sheā€™d break down crying, telling me that she has to tell me the full picture of whatā€™s going on with the Turners. Iā€™d hug her and tell her she can tell me when sheā€™s ready. Sheā€™d tell me Iā€™d never have believed her otherwise, and Iā€™d tell her that because I know why she did it now, itā€™s okay, no hard feelings or anything. And sheā€™d tell me the full story of how, when she first came to the Turners and saw the doll, she wanted to give Dorothy a second chance and make her happy by giving her Jericho back, so she made the doll real, so when the Church of Lesser Saints (which sheā€™d tell me about as well) forced her to leave under threat and forced her to turn the baby back into a doll, Dorothy's illusion broke, and she came to the false conclusion that Leanne kidnapped Jericho, and that's why she kidnapped her and why sheā€™s torturing her and locking her upā€¦
That would be another really hard thing to hear, and she'd cry as she'd tell me the rest, like how Sean refuses to wake Dorothy up, which could end all of this in an instant, and how Julian is protecting them, and how there's nothing Leanne can do to change her situation because there is no baby that she can give to her. She'd cry so hard in my arms, and I'd just comfort her a lot more and hug her... My mind would still be blown that I got proof of the supernatural for the first time ever, but I'd feel even more sorry for her than before and that she's being put through all these horrible things while she's completely powerless to change the situation, and I'd be so angry at Sean for refusing to tell Dorothy the truth, and how he's willing to have Leanne go through all this horrible abuse because he can't convince himself to tell Dorothyā€¦ ā€œI canā€™t give Jericho back to herā€, sheā€™d tell me, and Iā€™d be like ā€œI wouldnā€™t either. I wouldnā€™t trust that woman with caring for any human being, much less a babyā€, and Leanne would silently nod with a hint of a smile for a second after the first bit of reassurance that sheā€™s making the right decision before Iā€™m asking her if she knows how Jericho died, and sheā€™d tell me. I'd reassure Leanne that none of this is her fault, that it's horrible what everyone is putting her through instead of facing the hard decisions that could solve it all and end her suffering. ā€œI just wanted to give Mrs. Turner a second chance and make things better for her again because I saw how awful things were with the dollā€¦ā€ My face would like be halfway happy because I think thatā€™s so sweet, itā€™s such a perfect encapsulation of Leanneā€™s intentions in season 1, and Iā€™d like rub her back šŸ„ŗ
https://preview.redd.it/mj2n72u3301d1.png?width=780&format=png&auto=webp&s=4c0ae718794fe9a0ca2a2d0087260e6afec5ae0d
And sheā€™d tell me about all the bullying sheā€™s received by Sean and Julian for it, even after Sean decided to keep the baby, like swapping the labels of the cans of tomato soup with dog food, how they put hundreds of crickets in her room, how Sean went through her things, how Julian hired Wanda to be her fake friend, and how she even overheard Julian even suggesting turning off the heating in her room (she wouldnā€™t know about the camera because thereā€™s no indication that she ever noticed it).
https://preview.redd.it/0skxtxs5301d1.png?width=780&format=png&auto=webp&s=694d0e76c7bacf4da279c406c2b872b43cd2791b
She'd tell me about the baptism. People have seen the living baby, so if the police come, they will find out about it, so what do we do then, since they would never believe the truth that Leanne reanimated the doll, and that it was literally Jericho? Iā€™d be like ā€œplausible deniabilityā€, and Iā€™d explain that, by that, I mean ā€œIf you reanimated the baby and turned it literally into Jericho, then thereā€™s no living baby that the police can find anywhere. If they find DNA in the house, it will be Jerichoā€™s, so they will assume that itā€™s not the babyā€™s. Thereā€™s no actual missing baby that they can confidently link to the case. Screw it, if the police get involved, letā€™s say that Sean, Julian, or heck, even Dorothy must have brought the baby in, and that they threatened you not to tell anyone with non-specific threats, and how could you not take those threats seriously after one of them brought someoneā€™s baby into the houseā€ Leanne would be surprised that Iā€™d be willing to do that and ask me about it. Iā€™d be like ā€œAfter all youā€™ve just told me, yeah, letā€™s do that. It will be your word against theirs, so no oneā€™s gonna actually actually go to prison for this particular crime, and if weā€™re open about the fact that there was a baby, they might take our account of things more seriously. And are you saying that they continued with the bullying against you after they decided to keep the baby? Did I get that right?ā€ Leanne would nod. ā€œOh my Godā€¦ That is so fucking awful, Iā€™m so sorryā€¦ Then whatā€™s the point? What are they even trying to achieve? Oh my Godā€¦ā€ and hug her again. ā€œYouā€™d do that for me?ā€, sheā€™d ask, almost in disbelief. ā€œTo keep you safe, after I get you out of here? Yeah, I would. You deserve it! Honestly, you deserve to get spoiled so much when weā€™re out of here!ā€, and weā€™d just smile and laugh at each other so much in that moment. Sheā€™d say ā€œThank you!ā€ with a big smile, and Iā€™d say ā€œOf course!ā€
I'd ask her if there's any evidence of the baptism, and she'd tell me about the tape of it that was shown in the season 1 finale, where George and May showed up in the background, and that's how they knew they were gonna show up soon.
https://preview.redd.it/ym15sb48301d1.png?width=780&format=png&auto=webp&s=4755713239115181f0d74c712bfbc7ddf0a9f14e
And I'd see an opportunity to help her there, because this proves that George and May are still alive, that they faked their deaths. In the season 2 premiere, of course, when Dorothy claimed that May was in her house while showing the police her old news segment where she was reporting about May's likely death, Dorothy sounded crazy to the police,

but if we showed them the tape of George and May showing up less than three weeks ago, then not only would there be a second witness (Leanne) swearing that they saw May, but the police would have proof, and we could have the police go up against the Church of Lesser Saints and prosecute them and lock them up for their heinous crimes and abuse, and if successful, Leanne could finally be safe from them. I wouldn't know much about them yet because Leanne hasn't told me much, but when I suggest that, she'd almost laugh on shock and the joyous thought of maybe not having to be afraid of them anymore at some point, and that would make me smile and say "Let's do it! Big task, I know, but letā€™s do it!" I'd ask her if she knows where the tape is, and she'd say it's probably among the other DVDs in the living room or still in the DVD player. I'd tell her that when I sneak out of the house whenever that's hopefully gonna happen, I'll take the tape with me, which is when she tells me to please also take Dorothy's news tape from March 11, 2011 with me (the tape of the pageant where she first met Dorothy). I'd ask her why, and she'd tell me she's gonna tell me another day. She'd tell me I can watch it when I got it, and I'd say okay to that.

Leanne and me would make the most of the time in the attic until either
  1. She will be let out for a few hours, and I can sneak out, get the DVDs, and prepare everything to rescue her, get her to safety, and alert the authorities, or
  2. We will have to call the police from the attic when we run out of rations.
For now, we'd eat half of that day's rations (including some tomato soup), and then, I'd do something to lift her up after all that terrible stuff that happened and these heavy conversations. I'd show her a lot of music on my phone and introduce her to that part of my world a little bit šŸ˜Š Wanting to show her some music, Iā€™d ask her what kind of music sheā€™s into, and sheā€™d say she doesnā€™t really know any specific music because the Church of Lesser Saints didnā€™t allow music because anything that feels good is a temptation to themā€¦
https://preview.redd.it/pf6j9vgf301d1.png?width=780&format=png&auto=webp&s=1c780bdf397f3f5b1369f751b0b2a87d3873c1e3
Iā€™d be like ā€œThatā€™s horribleā€¦ They didnā€™t even let you listen to songs?ā€ Leanne would be like ā€œThatā€™s probably all really strange to youā€, and Iā€™d say ā€œNo, itā€™s really not. I mean, itā€™s pretty awful that they put you through that, but itā€™s far from something unrelatable for me. My parents are Christian, and growing up, all the music I knew was Christian music. It wasnā€™t, like, explicitly forbidden or anything, but until 2008, when I got into middle school - fifth grade for us, I only knew one single song that wasnā€™t Christian, and I only knew it because it played over the end credits of a movie I saw in the theater with my father. I listened to it a lot of years later after Iā€™ve researched what itā€™s called, and it wasnā€™t actually that great because Iā€™ve gotten to know so much other music since, but yeah, religiously speaking, I had a really hard time growing up, which I didnā€™t even realize until I came back from Americaā€. Weā€™d just look at each other for a second and realize without words just how much we can relate to each other in this regard. Iā€™d be like ā€œI think we just opened up another bottomless barrel. God, we got so much to talk about!ā€, and weā€™d just laugh for a moment because of how understood we feel by each other now!
Iā€™d suggest finally listening to some music. My YouTube channel about it didnā€™t exist at the time, but I have a passion for the Eurovision Song Contest (I canā€™t stand the EBU, the organization that runs the whole thing, but at the time of this story, in December 2022, I didnā€™t have a problem with it yet) Opening up Spotify on my phone, Iā€™d think what songs from it she might like, and instinctually, Iā€™d think sheā€™s probably never heard anything like Eastern European modern folk music before, which would make me think that sheā€™d probably really like Željko Joksimovićā€™s entries (he wrote and performed Serbia & Montenegro 2004, and Serbia 2012, and he also wrote Bosnia & Herzegovina 2006, Serbia 2008, and Montenegro 2015), and Iā€™d take out my dual AirPod adapter (please tell me if such a device actually exists, because I really want one lol) and put on ā€œLejlaā€ by Hari Mata Hari (Bosnia & Herzegovina 2006). This is the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyB09CWhzb4
Sheā€™d listen with intrigue. The beautiful instrumental intro, the many unfamiliar instruments, the rich melody, the emotional expressiveness, and how itā€™s in a language she doesnā€™t understand. Sheā€™s heard nothing like it before, and sheā€™d love it! After I explain Eurovision to her, Iā€™d tell her itā€™s one of my favorite entries ever and ask her if she wants to hear more, and sheā€™d emphatically say yes! Iā€™d show her the other entries I already mentioned (
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KgBJjzivCc4
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Sn3TKoPeA0
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48_wOw1SLyg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnrTDS85rC8
Honestly, we'd enjoy these moments so much, and she'd want to hear more and more, sheā€™s known nothing like this kind of music. Considering how she likes the jazz and popera music the Turners got playing sometimes, I think sheā€™d love these songs. I'd show her more music, like the Netherlands 2022 ("De diepte" by S10, which I think would be her favorite entry ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I7NyzU1ob_M ), and a lot more, and in the middle of this horrible situation we're in, we'd have such a great and happy time listening to all this music!
After a while of listening to a lot of music together while sitting close together shoulder-to-shoulder, weā€™d get talking again. Sheā€™d wanna know more about my religious background.
Side note, Iā€™m gonna be pretty honest about what I think here, but this is not exactly the kind of show that attracts fundamentalists or religiously intolerant people, so you probably wonā€™t have a problem with it.
I'd tell her my parents are specifically Protestant Christians, and they are crazy fundamentalists whose version of their faith was beyond hateful to so many people. I'd tell her that while my faith was already waning, I switched to Catholic Christianity (Iā€™d tell her that I made the change because I thought they were right about some core issues in the faith, but in retrospect, Iā€™ve realized what a complete mess the Bible is, that it contradicts itself at every turn, and that what you think about any specific issue really depends on where you look, and what explanations you come up with to dismiss the rest), but about a year later, I left Christianity behind. I lost my faith in the New Testament first, so I became a Noahide for a while (I'd tell her what that means, it's basically what Judaism would like someone who isn't a Jew to do because there's no obligation to convert and join the Jewish people) because I still believed in God and Tanakh (the Old Testament), but after getting really deep into the Mitzvot (Law of Moses), I was so disgusted by God and the horrible things he expects of people and does to them (particularly Deuteronomy 22:28-29ā€¦), how cruel and oppressive he is all throughout scripture, and so, I then believed for a while that there's SOME higher power out there, but that it's not Yahweh (since I don't believe in Tanakh anymore, I have no problem saying that name), but with the radio silence I received from whatever higher power is out there, and how the explanations I made for myself to make myself belief in its existence faded, I became an Atheist and just left it all behind. It was a gradual process for me.
Hearing that for the first time would be so therapeutic for her with how she's had doubts in her faith for a long time, coming closer and closer to losing it completely (I mean, the whole reason sheā€™s in the show in the first place is because she physically left the Church of Lesser Saints, knowing sheā€™d be hunted down. People tend to forget that when talking about Leanneā€™s religiosity). I'd ask her what she believes now, and she'd say she doesn't really know. She's struggling so much with how she sees God because of all the things he's willing to put her through and the things that are done in his name in the Church of Lesser Saints that she still believes he's connected to, and she just wants to let go of it all sometimes and finally defy God, but she's afraid. I'd tell her that she doesn't need to be afraid. When I found out that Jesus and Christianity and all of it are fake, it was really hard for me at first, and it hurt like crazy knowing that it was all a lie, but that it will get better quickly after that because then, you'll realize that life after religion is life free from religion and its crazy rules and nonsensical restrictions for the sake of restrictions, restrictions for the sake of pleasing someone that would never do the same for you and wonā€™t even reply to you.
I know what Leanne is about to tell me because I've seen the rest of the show, but she'd tell me about what happened when she died in the fire. I'd be like "What? What fire?", and because itā€™s not the point, she'd quickly say that her house burnt down when she was six years old with her, her mother, and her father in it, and that she died and was resurrected by the Church of Lesser Saints, and that's how she joined them. I'd say like "Oh my God... Oh my God, I'm so sorry" and just hug herā€¦
Giving her comfort about all these things she's never talked about with anyone, that makes me happy to imagine, helping her heal from her wounds! I just want nothing but to make her feel better and make her heal šŸ˜”
And then, she'd say what she wanted to say, that when she died, she went to Heaven and saw other people that died there, so how can God not be real? After asking about some of the details, I'd say that that doesn't mean that Christianity is true. She saw a place where people who died had another life, but that exists in so many religions, and maybe whatever created that place didn't tell people about it, so it might not even be any religion that is practiced. And most importantly, she went to Heaven before the Church of Lesser Saints ever knew her, so if outsiders go to Heaven, then they can't be the truth.
(I donā€™t think that the Church of Lesser Saints is the truth in-universe because of that, to be frank. Also because Julian went to Heaven as an Atheist in ā€œGooseā€).
That would blow her mind, and she'd say she'd have to think about that, and I'd say sure, like, when I first had the realizations that doomed my faith, I had to think about a lot of it at first as well, it took quite a while to unwind. And I'd tell her that in Tanakh, Heaven is never a place where people go after they die anyway, but where God, the angels, and Satan reside (and Satan is something completely different in Tanakh, not the supervillain of the universe). Later, Christianity just came along and introduced Heaven as a place where people go after they die, and it doesn't line up with Tanakh at all because it's a lie. And Tanakh is just as fake as the New Testament anyway, so whatever she saw is not the concept of Heaven, neither the Jewish nor the Christian concept. Considering how close Leanne already was to losing it before I came along, this would really get her thinking, and this whole conversation would really deepen how much we understand each other on such a deep level, and how close we feel! ā¤ļø And not only would I make HER feel the love she's never received and help her so much in life in so many ways, but having someone understand ME that well and finding her, omg, she would lift ME up so much just by being who she is! Honestly, Leanne is like the person who, if she were real, would be the one who'd understand me like no one else, and you can see how much in love I am with her just through a screen, now imagine we'd actually be there in real life, that's the most wonderful thing ever to imagine, for both of us!
Side note lol: In the show, it's clear that Leanne likes boys, but I honestly think that my headcanon where she slowly falls in love with me (a woman) would work. Leanne's sexuality is enough of a blank slate of the show for this to work. There's no indication that she likes girls in that way, but also absolutely nothing to contradict it. It's also shown how she explores her sexuality for the first time in season 1 once she comes to the Turners after running away from the Church of Lesser Saints. When Dorothy grabs Sean, Leanne sees it and later imitates it on Julian, showing how she is exploring these concepts for the first time, something that was clearly forbidden at the Church of Lesser Saints. If the writers made her fall in love with a woman in the show, it would have worked and been really believable because of all this. Leanne's sexuality is an almost completely blank slate. Just wanted to say that ahahaā€¦
We still donā€™t know when the next time will be that someone will come up into the attic and ā€œgiveā€ Leanne a few hours or less out of there, presenting an opportunity for me to sneak out and get the plan in motion to free Leanne with less risk than there would be if we called the police right now with us unarmed.
And weā€™d listen to some more music. A little bit into us listening to music, Iā€™d create a Spotify playlist right there, going through my liked songs and creating a long playlist of music I think she might like, with her right next to me, seeing that Iā€™m creating that playlist for her! And sheā€™d find that really sweet šŸ˜Š I actually created it lol: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/4Y8Skhmf72ElUFKPxoT4e4?si=f9ceac038fa84f61
Giving her another hint. Iā€™d show her pictures of Eurovision 2017, when it was in my city Kyiv. Iā€™d also show her the picture I took with Blanche from Belgium at the opening ceremony back then and tell Leanne that she was my biggest celebrity crush of my life, that I was so in love with her, another reminder thatā€™s testing the waters šŸ˜šŸ˜Šā¤ļø And sheā€™d find that really sweet! Iā€™d wanna show her the livestream where the moment is forever immortalized (in the story, not in real life, which would be here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xPaJxwFFZGk ), only to realize that itā€™s blocked in America lol, ā€œbut anyway, that was at Mariyinskyy Palats in Kyiv, itā€™s like a red carpet ceremony thatā€™s done every year during rehearsal week, the week before the actual contest, and I went there wearing my best dress and best makeup andā€¦ [laughing because Iā€™m so embarrassed] I gave her red roses with a card inside that has some text and my phone number on it, painted in the colors of the rainbow flag to be as explicit as possibleā€ Leanne would smile big time, and sheā€™d ask ā€œDid she reply?ā€, and Iā€™d be like ā€œShe messaged me after the contest, thanking me and saying that she has a boyfriend, and I wished her all the best, and that was it. Doesnā€™t really matter though. I like to look back on it all, but Iā€™m not interested in her anymore. Her political views are kind of yikes anyway, weā€™d only argue because of thatā€ (none of this happened in reality, we never actually met).
After a tiny bit of silence while sitting shoulder-to-shoulder, Iā€™d ask her ā€œYou ever really been in love?ā€, and almost giggling, sheā€™d be like ā€œI donā€™t know. I justā€¦ I donā€™t know. Letā€™s talk about something else. This was in your city?ā€, and Iā€™d say yes, and that Eurovision is usually held in the winning country of the previous year, and Ukraine won in 2016, so Kyiv it was in 2017. Sheā€™d carefully ask me if I came to America because of the war, and with some sighing, Iā€™d tell her yes. Sheā€™d ask if I wanna talk about it, and Iā€™d say ā€œA little bit is okayā€. Iā€™d tell her itā€™s been going on in the East of Ukraine since 2014, but when the full-scale invasion began in February (this takes place in December of 2022), they bombed Kyiv, and troops moved toward Kyiv really fast. I had a complete mental breakdown for days. It was only after two days that I could snap out of it, and I packed my things and decided to flee the countryā€¦ I was just so scared, I knew I wouldnā€™t survive mentally or physically if I stayed, and I definitely didnā€™t wanna live under R_ssian occupation. I hitchhiked to the city of Bila Tserkva south of Kyiv, took trains to Poland, and flew to America from there. Iā€™d tell her ā€œI lived here before and really liked it, like I said, it was the best year of my life, so thatā€™s where I instinctually decided to go. I definitely didnā€™t wanna stay in Polandā€.
Iā€™d probably really start crying when I tell her this because itā€™s such a painful memory, and Leanne would slowly start to hug me (physical affection is something new for her, sheā€™s still figuring out how to do these things, and thatā€™s okay), and Iā€™d just take a sudden pause from crying for a moment and look up to her (Iā€™m four inches shorter lol), seeing her look at me, and weā€™re almost realizing our mutual empathy and understanding without words in that moment! Sheā€™d say at the end how scary that must have been and if I was alone the entire time. It would honestly mean so much to me, her comforting me, especially about these difficult moments, and Iā€™d tell her that I was alone the entire wayā€¦ Iā€™d tell her my sisters and nieces live in Poland now, and that my father is still in Ukraine. Sheā€™d ask about my mother, and Iā€™d say that as far as I know, sheā€™s still there, but I havenā€™t spoken to her since 2017, and I never will again. Sheā€™s absolutely destroyed my life and put me through so much trauma that I can never forgive her for. Leanne would go ā€œMe, tooā€ (about her own mother), and weā€™d both giggle a bit in that moment because we get how alike we are in that experience, having had our mothers wreck both of our lives, and how crazy it is that weā€™re here right now just talking about all this so openly.
It would be rather late by that point, and weā€™d start eating the other half of that dayā€™s rations. Leanne would go straight for the canned tomato soup again, and Iā€™d tell her how cute I find it that she loves it so much! Sheā€™d smile and react non-verbally in her typical way that is so hard to put into words, and I tell her how cute I find the little ways she reacts to things with her face! Sheā€™d smile some more and then say ā€œMost people just think Iā€™m weirdā€ with a less happy tone and face, but Iā€™d say ā€œPeople find the most stupid things to complain about, and people like you and me who donā€™t fit in, weā€™re easy targets. The things about you that people find weird, Iā€™d rather call them peculiar, and I like them! These little things about you are so cute for real!ā€, and sheā€™d really smile and just look at me for a moment.
https://preview.redd.it/fhn0kcd1401d1.png?width=780&format=png&auto=webp&s=8b28057c33607827da751b6a008dbde2f63f1c71
Iā€™d be like ā€œWhat?ā€ (in a happy and curious tone), and sheā€™d be like ā€œI like it, too when you do this with your eyes!ā€. Iā€™d roll them over toward her and say ā€œYou mean like this?ā€ and make her laugh while she says yes, then roll them back and forth and ask ā€œOr like this?ā€, and weā€™d laugh even more!
Weā€™d hear a sound from downstairs and quiet down pretty much immediately as the reality of our situation kicks in again and we know that we canā€™t have the Turners hear us, or weā€™re both screwed. Weā€™d wait until weā€™re sure theyā€™re not coming into the attic and only THEN, weā€™d continue to talk. Sheā€™d just say ā€œIā€™m scaredā€, and Iā€™d say ā€œMe, tooā€, and weā€™d just hold each other before we eat the rest of the small meal. Iā€™d be like ā€œLike I said yesterday, Iā€™m almost as obsessed with Ben & Jerryā€™s as you are. Almost! I really gotta get you some when we leave here! In fact, I promise you I will! I wanna see the reaction on your face the first time you taste it!ā€, and sheā€™d say ā€œIā€™d like that very much!ā€ with a smile!
And back on a more somber note, Iā€™d ask her how long they usually leave her in here forā€¦ Sheā€™d say that the last time was a whole weekend, so three nightsā€¦ Iā€™d say ā€œLetā€™s hope itā€™s sooner than that this timeā€¦ā€ Weā€™d make plans for how Iā€™m gonna sneak out the next time that happens, like, specifically. Iā€™d tell her that when they let her out of the attic and leave the door unlocked as a result, Iā€™d wait a minute and wait for everyone to get downstairs. Iā€™d tell her to give me an audible signal that itā€™s safe to sneak one floor further downstairs, like saying something loudly or kicking something. Iā€™d then sneak onto the third floor, and then the second one, and wait for Mrs. Turner to go back to the third floor and the attic. Iā€™d then sneak into the living room, get the DVDs, and go into the basement, where Iā€™d go through the side door. Sheā€™d confirm my question that it leads to the garden behind the kitchen. Iā€™d say Iā€™ll hide there until I can see that no oneā€™s in the kitchen. Sheā€™d confirm that the code in the back is the same as the one at the front door - 0603. And I say Iā€™d then leave through the back door, into the park, take the bus home, take a shower, write down everything Iā€™ve seen in a letter meant for the police, send it to my online friend Liam, and tell him to alert the Philadelphia police if Iā€™m not back online confirming Iā€™m safe within 24 hours, and to not read the letter until then. The rest of the plan is to then fully load and get my gun, get to the Turner house by bike, have a large taxi wait one block away, and then force the Turners to let me in by displaying my gun and disengaging the safety lever right in front of whoeverā€™s at the door, and explain to everyone that I am there to get Leanne, and that Iā€™ll call the police and report them right then and there if they refuse to cooperate in any way. If Dorothy tries to do anything to stop me like she probably will, Iā€™d tell her that Sean and Julian know where Jericho is (I mean, they do, because Jericho is dead and they refuse to wake Dorothy up), that they knew this entire time, and thatā€™s thatā€™s the reason Leanne is not talking, because there is nothing she can do. Iā€™d add something like ā€œAnd theyā€™ve been lying to you this entire time, all while YOU put Leanne through the most disgusting abuse imaginable! Iā€™m getting her out of here right now!ā€
Leanne would say that Dorothy wouldnā€™t believe me because this sounds so different from the version of events she believes in. Iā€™d ask when Jericho died, and Leanne would tell me August 26. Iā€™d go ā€œThen Iā€™ll tell Mrs. Turner ā€˜ Hereā€™s what I want you to do after I leave, Mrs. Turner. If you want to find out where Jericho is, thereā€™s a pretty straightforward way for you to do it. You go look up death records in Philadelphia from August 26 this year. There, you will find something really weird. Youā€™ll know exactly what I mean when you see it. Then you ask these two lying motherfuckers about it until they tell you the truth! They will keep on lying like they have this entire time, but you push them until they give you an explanation that explains what youā€™ll see among the records. Do it right after I leave, you can do that online! August 26 this year! And when they try to keep you from doing that, thatā€™s how youā€™ll know Iā€™m telling the truth!ā€ I think Leanne would be really impressed by what Iā€™m saying and the sheer boldness of it. Iā€™d look over at her, and with a heavy smile, Iā€™d say ā€œOf courseā€ and embrace her again.
And Iā€™d tell Leanne that if I canā€™t find the baptism tape, Iā€™ll take all the tapes that arenā€™t news tapes or movies and whatever disc is in the player, if there is one there. Leanne would tell me to make sure the police canā€™t find the news tape, and Iā€™d say ā€œSure. Iā€™ll hide it somewhere at home after I watch it.ā€ Then, Leanne would tell me to please take her Bible and the porcelain baby and card from the cake I gave her with me
https://preview.redd.it/kxw1lfv5401d1.png?width=780&format=png&auto=webp&s=4b7ddb40216f5a5217c18faffe8be104b51955f6
(in the real show, she actually keeps her Bible even after she loses her faith, probably because she needs it for some of her powers) because she doesnā€™t know if she can take it with her herself, depending on how things go on the day, so she can be sure that she doesnā€™t lose either, and of course, Iā€™d promise her. Iā€™d also say that Iā€™m really glad that the porcelain baby from the cake means so much to her now, just like I intended, to make her happy šŸ˜Š
And Iā€™d say that when Iā€™m done saying what Iā€™m planning to say to Dorothy when I go rescue Leanne, Iā€™ll tell the Turners to empty their pockets and put everything on the table and tell them to go into the bathroom and lock it. Iā€™d stay right there to make sure theyā€™re not getting out, then call Leanne on the Samsung phone I already gave her and tell her to get whatever she needs, put on some clothes from the attic that donā€™t make her look suspicious outside (because if she walked outside with me in sleepwear while I got a gun, that would make it look as if I was kidnapping her), and come downstairs. As soon as sheā€™s past the bathroom door, Iā€™d unlock it, and weā€™d walk backwards together while still pointing the guns in the direction of the Turners. Iā€™d tell Dorothy again to go look up the death records right now (the timing is important to keep them from calling the police immediately, so we can get to the police first), and weā€™d get out of the house, run to the taxi, and drive off, and call the police from inside the taxi. Leanne would ask me where weā€™re gonna ask the taxi to take us, and Iā€™d suggest maybe a hotel in Allentown, where weā€™ll be safe from the Turners, and because we probably need to stay in Pennsylvania, so the police can come to us without leaving their jurisdiction. Iā€™d hold Leanneā€™s hand tight and promise her everythingā€™s gonna be okay, that Iā€™ll make damn sure that sheā€™ll be safe!
Since we have no idea when the Turners will let her out of the attic again, weā€™d clean up immediate giveaways that that someone else is there (mostly just meaning weā€™d put the rest of the food in my backpack and hide my backpack). Sheā€™d then give me the porcelain baby, the card, and her Bible for safekeeping, and Iā€™d put it in my pocket. Weā€™d then take videos to document everything thatā€™s in the attic, showing that we are indeed locked up, to keep as evidence for the police.
Weā€™d then get ready for bed. Again, we have to share a mattress and covers. Iā€™d insist this time that I sleep on the side of the mattress thatā€™s closer to the stairs leading up into the attic in case Dorothy decides to assault Leanne again, so Iā€™m in the way. And when we lay down, because we still only have one mattress and covers for the both of us, weā€™d actually be really close together physically, and before falling asleep, weā€™d just look at each other again and again and smile every time we open our eyes and catch each other just looking at the other šŸ˜Š

2024.05.17 09:45 AwkwardJewler01 You Will Be Safe With Us by AwkwardJewler01

In the vast countryside, away from the busy city of Savannah, exist hills as tall as buildings and green as emeralds. There was also an aura of calmness, with a few birds twittering away in dispersed trees, followed by the gentle swaying of the wind.
Then, out of nowhere, came a small, lonely girl wearing a once-lily-white summer dress with a striped long-sleeved t-shirt underneath it. She was also wearing a dark blue and cream-white baseball hat with the letter D on the front of it. She was moving wearily, with a pistol in one hand, and wiping her damp eyes with the other.
She knew what happened to make her weep. According to her, it was her fault that she got him killed; she was convinced by a towering man who said he knew her parents. But that was a brainless, childish lie that got Lee killed. She shouldnā€™t have run off. At least, Lee taught her how to use a gun and what to expect in the future before his tragic passing. But now she was all on her own.
Eventually, she came to a log, which was next to the rusted shell of a car. Anyway, she proceeded to sit down on it. Throughout all of this, she was as quiet as a mouse, only looking at her feet and wiping her blood-red eyes. She noticed that on the floor next to the log was a mixture of bulletsā€”some shell casings and some unfired ones. Out of curiosity, she picked it up and examined it before exhaling deeply, which is when she noticed something else. Something she could just about make out if she scrutinised her eyesā€”something on the nearest hillā€”looked like two figures. One followed the other, and they looked like they stopped to look at her, making her start to hyperventilate as her eyes extended to the size of oranges. Was it someone she knew? Was it a threat to her? She didnā€™t know.
"Lee said I needed to find Omid and Christa before he got killed because of me." She said to herself, still looking sad, as she noticed that the two figures were now coming down the prominent hillā€”they didn't look like walkers. So she clasped her gun tightly until the figures came into view. She ended up not firing the gun and running towards the figures, as it was Omid and Christa, and they were alive!
Omid was a tall, slim Persian-American man with short dark-brown hair and a beard to match.
Christa, on the other hand, was a slightly taller African-American lady. She also had jet-black hair tied up in a ponytail, and she was Omidā€™s girlfriend.
"Clementine, honey, where's Lee?" Christa asked, kneeling to the nine-year-old.
"H-h-he's...dead." She answered with her face buried in Christaā€™s shoulder.
"Oh, Clementine, weā€™re sorry," Omid said, who started to kneel to her height as well.
"W-where's Ben and Kenny?" Clementine asked, still with her face buried in Christaā€™s shoulder.
Omid and Christa then looked at each other without Clementine noticing, and it was Omid who told her what happened to Ben and Kenny.
"So, itā€™s just us three," Clementine responded, now looking at Omid and Christa with her eyes dry again, a short while later.
"I guess, Clem, I guess so." Christa replied, "Come on, letā€™s go somewhere safe."
With this, the trio (Clementine, Omid, and Christa) began to walk, with Clementine tagging behind while Omid and Christa were in front. They were busily talking away, apart from Clementine, who was still looking at her feet, along holding the gun in her hand. As a result of this, she wasn't engaged in the conversation that they were having. She was too melancholy about what happened today. With her being kidnapped, seeing her walker parents, Lee dying, and now Kenny and Ben dying as well.
It was a lot for her to take in.
* * * * *
Sometime later, the trio found an abandoned house that had been abandoned for decades, as thick ivy hugged the walls. Furthermore, it reminded Clementine of that house they stayed at in Savannah; it was hard to believe that was a month ago.
Anyway, they succeeded in getting into the house rather than struggling, so now they could search within it.
Clementine, honey," Christa said, kneeling to her. "Omid, and I believe you can search parts of this house on your own. Just remember, if someone, walker or not, tries to hurt you, you got your gun. If you run out of bullets or are in a tight place, call us, and we will help you if you get into trouble. Do you understand?"
ā€œYeah, I do, Christa; I will be careful."
ā€œGood," replied Christa, "let me know if you find anything."
With this, Clementine strayed a little by searching for anything useful on her own, though she stayed close to Omid and Christa.
As usual in the kitchen, she found faded, rusted cans with nothing but spoiled food inside. So she decided to head upstairs, and it seemed like they creaked with every step; as Omid and Christa were searching the enormous living room. Once she was upstairs, she clasped her pistol tightly and opened the door with one of her hands and the other on the pistol. Nothing. The room was that of a bathroom, with its normal interiorā€”a bath, sink, toothbrushes, and some cupboardsā€”which was stripped of life.
So she closed the door, walked to the next door, and proceeded to open it in the same manner she did for the bathroom. This room was that of a childā€™s room, which made Clementine remember her room back in Georgia, with its toys and books. It felt like she was just coming home from school and wanted to play with her dolls until supper time; it was hard to believe that was a year ago. Yet, here she was searching for anything useful in terms of survivalā€”and not searching for a certain toy she wanted to play with at present.
ā€œJust as well Lee found me when he did.ā€ She said to herself as she glanced over at the room, trying to remember simpler times. When she went to school, she watched cartoons all day and rode her bike in the park with her parents. When she was thinking about this, she noticed that there was a medium-sized lump near the wall, cloaked in dust. It was a doll, and there was a string attached to its back, and when Clementine pulled it, it produced the word "Mamaā€.
Clementine remembered the doll that her mother gave her for her sixth birthday; it was probably still in the back of the wardrobe.
Eventually, she found an old pocket-sized backpack with a few flowery stickers, along with a dark-blue hoodie in her size.
ā€œHave you found anything, Clementine?ā€ called out Christa.
ā€œYeah, a backpack and a hoodie," answered Clementine, walking towards the edge of the stairs where Omid and Christa were.
ā€œJust remember to check the bag, Clem; they might have something useful." Replied Christa.
ā€œOk," Clementine replied, unzipping the bag and then putting her hand into it, but not looking into it. Lo and behold, she found a working lighter, and it looked like it had a decent amount of fuel for a while.
Clementine then walked to the conclusive door upstairs, and like what she did before, however, the door required a little exertion to open. As a result of this, Clementine noticed that the noise she made alerted her to the presence of a walker heading towards her. This, of course, made Clementine a little timid, but she knew what to do. As her heart started to ram against her ribcage, likewise, a thick seal of sweat began to form on her hands, transferring onto her gun.
Always aim for the head," Clementine said to herself as she exhaled deeply and fired the gun. BANG!! The walker fell with a deafening thud, and Clementine was astounded at herself for shooting the walker that was coming towards her.
I did it, I did it," she exclaimed in a loud whisper. Which is when the door bursts open to reveal Omid and Christa with perturbed faces.
"Is everything OK, Clem? Are you hurt?" Asked Omid.
Yeah, Iā€™m fine; Iā€™m not hurt. Replied Clementine, as the trio all stood in stupefied silence at the walker that Clementine gunned down. "Did you find anything? Clementine asked after a minute of silence.
"Yes. We have found two cans of beans and some water." Christa replied.
"Oh."
ā€œWell, letā€™s keep moving on, Clem. People might have heard the shot and might come here.ā€ Omid said.
ā€œOk," responded Clementine. "I said already, but I found a backpack and a hoodie."
ā€œPut it on, Clem; itā€™s starting to get colder, and we get going."
ā€œOk, Iā€™ll put it on now."
Clementine then took off her hat, gave the gun to Omid, put on the dark blue hoodie, put her hat back on, and took the gun back from Omid. After that, Clementine followed Christa and Omid downstairs and out of the house and walked on.
* * * * *
Some short weeks later, the trio now situated in a substantial-sized forest under a thick canopy of leaves with Omid tending to a fire. Clementine and Christa, however, were sitting down on some nearby log around the fire.
Christa was busy talking to Omid about her pregnancy, whereas Clementine was busy herself by looking at the stars. The stars flickered and danced in the sky like a million tiny flames, casting a shimmering glow over the forest below. Furthermore, the sky itself was filled with low oranges, along with a mixture of light blues. Which were progressively getting into the realms of dark blues, purples and then full-on jet-black. Moreover, there seemed to be a chorus of crickets hiding somewhere in lush grasses, chirping away harshly.
ā€œI would say that rabbit is cooked now, Omid.ā€
ā€œOh, right, yeah,ā€ replied Omid, as he began to take the cooked rabbit off the spit ā€“ and handed it out to Christa and Clementine, then to himself.
"Thank you very much," Clementine said as she reached for the rabbit meat before going back to look at the stars. She thought to herself as she ate: "How many are there? Hundreds? Thousands? Millions?"
ā€œHm, what ā€“ sorry Christa; what did you say?ā€
ā€œOmid and I said that we are going to rest here tonight and get going in the morning."
"Ok, as my legs still ache from all that walking we did today."
"Well, get some rest, you're going to need it," Omid said, rising from poking the fire.
"Ok," responded Clementine, getting up from the weather-worn log, wishing Omid and Christa a good night before she got onto the floor near the fire and began to close her eyes. She then began to dream about what she would be doing tomorrow, what would happen, and what she would see.
The next morning was filled with colours ranging from warm yellows trickling through the gaps in the trees. Clementine rubbed her eyes before getting up from the harsh, tough ground and walked to the log where she sat last night, where she saw Omid was cooking again.
"Morning, Clem," Omid said. "How did you sleep?"
"Ok, I'd rather sleep in a bed than on the floor."
"Yeah, I don't like it either, but it's necessary until we get to Wellington."
"Where's Christa?" asked Clementine, now looking around the campsite as she noticed Christa wasn't there.
But then, five minutes later, after Clementine had eaten, Christa came back - and with this, the trio began to walk on; with her now near Omid and Christa. Yet, like last time, Clementine's fingers were still wrapped around her pistol as if it were a part of her. But instead of looking at her feet, she was looking around the pensive clearing.
The clearing was serene, where only a few walkers were roaming around, but they could be seen more evidently through a few hacked trees. The trio strolled down the lane through dappled light filtering itself through the trees; moreover, the sound of the leaves rustled in the weak wind. There was also an occasional bird twittering away on a pile of stacked logs near the broad track Clementine, Omid, and Christa were walking. There was also an infrequent number of signs that littered the road.
"TWO MILES UNTIL TRUCK STOP", Clementine read as she walked on with Omid and Christa.
"How about...Isabella?" Christa said aloud.
"Nah," scoffed Omid, "James is far better."
"That's if it's a boy, Omid. Clementine, do you have any name ideas?"
"What about...Carley?"
"Yeah, that's a good name." Responded Omid, with an expression of puzzled thought in his voice.
For the next couple of miles, they (primarily, Christa and Omid) talked about what seemed to be endless baby names for Christa's child; to pass the time. Clementine wondered if her parents had this amount of difficulty when they chose her name.
Eventually, Clementine stopped a little as Omid and Christa walked on regardless; as she noticed there was a blackbird perched on a nearby tree which cawed before flying into the lush forest.
"What do you think?" asked Omid, as he poised at the truck stop over the abandoned road before crossing it with Christa and Clementine.
"Omid, you can't be serious," answered Christa.
"I am."
"We are NOT doing that."
"Why not?"
"Because one of you is enough!"

2024.05.17 03:32 MistborneYT Trouble upon game startup (modded playthrough)

As shown above these are all the mods I have, I'm not really sure what's causing the issue since smapi says that nothing is broken. But whenever I go to start a new game it just crashes. Is their something that's incompatible that I just missed? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

2024.05.17 02:30 Quanzi30 25 Days away = 25 tips for an Awesome Bonnaroo.

Hello friends!
As the title states, for those of us arriving to the farm on Tuesday we have exactly 25 days to bring it all together. What better way to celebrate 25 days away from being back home than with 25 tips for a great Roo. 2 years ago I did a daily series with 100 tips. Last year I did a daily series with 50 tips. This year it's cut and dry, one take, one day, top 25 tips from a Roo and festival vet. Let's do it.
  1. Water- Drink it. A lot of it. All of it. Let it run down your chin you little water slut. Staying hydrated is the #1 way to have a great Roo and consequently the easiest way to end up in the med tent if you don't. There's water stations in the campgrounds and in Centeroo, use em. It's hot. Bring a hydropack, water bottle, or whatever kind of water container you prefer.
  2. Beat the Heat- Or at least try. Bring a canopy for camp and some tapestries to hang around. Battery powered fans. Misting fans. Cooling towels. Clacking hand fans. An umbrella. An umbrella hat. Hang out under the trees, tents, signs, or any other thing that will provide some relief from the heat. Bring and USE sunscreen. It truly can't be expressed enough how hot Roo can be and trust me when I say getting a sunburn on Thursday or Friday can make Saturday and Sunday rough.
*PRO TIP- Bring a bucket or collapsible bin of some kind to put some cold cooler water in it for a foot bath. Your feet and your entire being will thank you.
  1. Meet Your Neighbors- One of the things that makes Bonnaroo great is the sense of community that comes along with it. Whether it's passing each other on the way in and out of camp, the lazy morning hangs, catching some shows, the pregame beers, keeping an eye out for each other's camp, or sharing that one thing you forgot to bring; Befriending your neighbors can and will take your Roo experience to the next level.
  2. Lights- All of the lights. Like Kanye said; flashlights, battery powered string lights, solar lights, lanterns, LEDs, nightlights, or something like that. We're camping in the middle of bumfuck nowhere middle Tennessee. Yes, they do provide some lighting in the campground but it's still dark. Keep a small flashlight in your bag, you'll need it.
  3. Comfy Shoes- Comfy BROKEN IN shoes. Whatever is your comfiest footwear, use that. Imo at least, Bonnaroo is much less of a fashion show and is much more about being comfortable in the elements while adding in the 30-40-50 miles of walking, dancing, skipping, and frolicking you will do. Getting some insoles will also help your feet make it through.
  4. Begin Physically Preparing Thyself- If you haven't already. Nobody needs to be in peak physical condition by any means, but doing some cardio, walking, a bike ride, etc. and getting out in the heat beforehand will go a long way when it comes to the marathon gauntlet that is Bonnaroo. Get a little uncomfortable before we get really uncomfortable in a few weeks.
  5. First Aid kit, Butt wipes, Chafe cream, Baby Powder- A few of the most important personal things that will do wonders for that swamp ass and Roo Rash. Skip TP all together and just bring butt wipes, your butt and chafed thighs will thank you. They will also thank you when you apply that chafe cream and your legs are slip slidin' and glidin' all night long.
  6. Make Campsite Noticeable- Lights, balloons, pinwheels, signs, wackly inflatable tube men, a blimp. Do something to make your campsite stand out a little bit when things get a bit weird and can't find your way back home.
  7. Catch a Sunrise- Specifically a Pretty Lights one Saturday night into Sunday morning, but any sunrise is meaningful on the farm. One of the things that make Bonnaroo unique from other festivals is the fact that music of some kind is going until sunrise. This is no easy task, even for professionals, but the payoff at the end is worth every second of tiredness to get you there.
10.High Five Everyone- This one's big. High Fives have been a staple at Bonnaroo since 1842 when Colonel Mustard high fived Trey Anastacio's great great Uncle and the rest was history. High five everyone. Everyday. Anywhere. Anytime. There may or may not be a winding high five line in front of the arch this year, but that's no excuse to not throw a hand up and watch the magic happen. Not getting enough fives? It means you aren't giving enough. Dish em out like pizzas and hot cakes.
  1. Prepare for All Types of Weather- Hot, cold, windy, rainy, snowy. Plan for it all regardless of what the forecast says. Tennessee is like Florida where the forecast has changed 14 times since I started writing this. Bring your swim trunks but also a hoodie and beanie. Bring a couple blankets for the chilly nights. Bring a poncho if you're going to melt. Don't forget to stake down the tents and canopies. Prepare for it all.
  2. Check out the Plazas- Plazas, which used to be "pods", are themed areas throughout the campgrounds that offer entertainment and programming of all different kinds. Each plaza contains bathrooms, showers, medics, wifi, staff, charging stations, and information that can be beneficial.
  3. Bring Something To Sleep On- Air mattress, cot, inflatable couch, in the car; whatever it is make sure it's something somewhat comfortable to catch some precious Z's on. We only get a few hours of sleep while on the farm, make sure it's the most comfortable you can possibly get for maximum efficiency.
  4. Patience is a Virtue- Whether it's in the car line, beer line, bathroom line, or any place that requires waiting; just be patient. Go with the flow. People are working their hardest to get you through whatever line it is, just enjoy the ride. Getting upset, frustrated, etc. doesn't do anybody any good when we're all trying to get to the same place. Just have some patience and trust me it will go a long way. Donā€™t forget to save some patience for your crew when setting up camp and things get testy.
  5. Bring Things to Trade & Give Away- This concept is not unique to Bonnaroo but some festivals in general; bring things to give away. Think small, inexpensive, yet meaningful in the right situations. Squishy animals, pogs, green army men, pokemon cards, hat clips, clothespins, marbles; the possibilities here are pretty endless. Having things to give away will just up your Roo experience that much more.
  6. Keep Valuables locked in the Car- Even though Bonnaroo is by in large a safe place, any public event that draws 60K+ people also brings the bad apples. Anything over 20$ we lock in the car and out of sight and hide our keys at camp. Also please do not bring ANYTHING of substantial value in which you will be upset if it goes missing, broken, or lost. Don't bring grandmother's precious jewels with you. If it has value, lock it in your car.
  7. Bring Cash- Yes Bonnaroo like most events is moving toward a cashless event, however having cash on you will alleviate some of the issues that go along with so called cashless. There will be things wandering through camp which only require cash, some vendors take cash, and having that peace of mind will frankly go a long way when a card simply won't do.
  8. Pace Yourself- Bonnaroo is a marathon, not a sprint. Although I whole heartedly endorse full send Thursday, pacing yourself throughout the weekend will leave you some energy left for Fred Again Sunday night. Stay hydrated, take naps, and don't feel bad when you have to take a load off to catch your breath.
  9. Live In the Moment- Be. Here. Now. Take it all in. Stay off your phone. Embrace the journey. Embrace the moment. Live it. Be it. Accept it. Enjoy it. Don't over plan and don't force it. Let it be. Bonnaroo only comes around once a year and it's in our best interest to make every second count. Keep your head up, eyes open, and enjoy every moment the farm gives us.
  10. Foster the Bonnarovian Code.
a. Prepare Thyself
b. Play as a Team
c. Radiate Positivity
d. Respect the Farm
e. Don't be that Person
f. Stay True Roo
Embrace these basic yet powerful principles and you are on the right track to having a wonderful Bonnaroo experience. Not only do these principles apply to the farm, but they also translate well to our everyday lives.
  1. Cooler Maintenance- Tried and true ways to keep your coolers cold as long as possible without spending a fortune on ice. FROZEN WATER BOTTLES. Probably the most beneficial festival hack there is. Layer the bottom of your coolers with frozen bottles and shove ice packs in there as well. Dry ice when used correctly will keep coolers cold for days. Keep coolers out of the sun and closed as much as possible during the day. Before packing coolers, bring them inside and throw some ice in them to cool them down. May the cold be with you, always.
  2. Wear Whatever the Fuck you Want- Sorry for cussing. But seriously. Wear whatever feels right. Wear a costume. Wear something wild. Wear something basic af. Wear a wig. Wear nothing. Wear that dumbass thing in the back of your closet that hasn't seen the light of day since 2004, let it out. Whatever you wear just make sure it's comfortable. And if you wear something that isn't comfortable, just know we appreciate you and the sacrifices you're making for the greater good.
  3. Get Merch Early- The good stuff goes quick. The popular sizes go quick. Don't sleep on it. If there's something you see you want just get it and be done with it so there are no regrets later, not even one letter.
  4. Camp Chairs, inflatable couches, Stools, Pussy Couches, Blankets- Basically just bring things to sit or relax on. Camp chairs, couches, inflatable unicorns, and stools for camp and a blanket for inside Centeroo. Blow up couches aren't technically allowed in the venue but neither are substances and glowsticks and there are certainly neither of those at Bonnaroo.
  5. Battery stations, Power Banks, Solar Chargers- Bring whatever you need to keep your electronics charged without having to use the courtesy outlets. Bring a jackery or similar power station. Charging things in the car is a move as well as a DC inverter which plugs into your car cigarette lighter. We only get a short amount of time on the farm, don't spend it teathered to an outlet. Bring the power.
Honorable Mention Tips
  1. Check Camping supplies ahead of time.
  2. Don't forget your ID, wristband, and parking pass. (This one is pretty important and should probably be higher up)
  3. Bring a backpack or Fanny pack that fits in the allowed guidelines.
That's all I got for the time being. Anything I missed please feel free to add below. For all the first timers joining us this year I would just like to say welcome to the farm. Embrace and enjoy every second you are there. To all the vets coming back, can't wait to see you fuckers again real soon. We're almost there. Happy Bonnaroo Yall!
