__________________________

Hospitals. Wards. Infirmaries.

You hate them all.

Too sterile. Too familiar.

Yet here you are, mind full of guilt, sitting by the bed, waiting for him to wake up. Your hand goes absently to the plate where the cookies are, fetching one two.

Idle time is another one of your pet peeves, and thus you brought something to work on. The decryption programs you brought on your phone are top-notch coming directly from the farm and should work on anything, but the Loan Shark’s data-rod on Elyise has proved impervious so far. Still, you’re not giving up and there are a few more tricks to try.

You’re almost sure it’s not an American encryption protocol, which only raises more questions as to the true extent of Hollow Ground’s connections. Whatever the case, they didn’t want this file to be seen which is all the more compelling reason to break in and see what’s inside.

You keep on trying though, each new variation of your protocols failing after a short while with a monotonous beep from the phone and the sound of crunchy chocolate cookies the only things letting you keep track of time.

At least that’s so until…

“Are you going to leave some for me, jerk?”

You put down your phone, looking at him. His eyes are open, and he looks pale. Pale, but awake.

The immediate wave of relief is so strong you feel you’re about to lose it. But you force yourself to keep it together.

“If you think you’re going to get one of MY cookies, you’re awfully mistaken. It’s going to be baby food from now on for you Marsha!”

“Baby food? Yuck. I’m out of here!” he says trying to move up before stopping with a pained expression. The movement makes his mods go off, sending a zap towards the machine he’s attached to, which turns off and then reboots

“Watch it sparkles! Those things take a lot to reconnect if you break them... “ you sigh while “You’re might be patched up but you’re still wounded. Better get used to it too, you’ve got some horizontal time ahead of you”

“Ugh. Ook… Maybe I’ll rest for a little bit after all” he relents.

“That’s how things are going to be from now on. You’re staying there as long as you have to ”

“Who made you boss again?”

“Your mom. Also, she promised more cookies if I stop you from doing anything stupid”

“So you sold me out for chocolate chips?”

“They’re really good,” you say taking another. “Really really good” you add with your mouth full.

You monster…” he says with the hint of a smile.

“Yeah, I get that a lot. So, how long have you been awake?”

“Not sure. Didn’t notice you were in the room at first.”

“Do you know where you are?” you ask “Or what day it is?”

He ponders hard for a few moments examining the surroundings before answering “... The HQ?”

“That’s right. We’re at the infirmary”

“How long I was out though.”

“I’d say about two days, give or take.

“That’s insane. Where are the others?”

“Asleep I guess? It’s 3:00 am”

“Whaa… what are you doing here so late then?” he says narrowing his gaze, making you feel a bit uncomfortable. “I thought you hated hospitals...”

“I do. But I’ve managed so far”

“Didn’t know you cared that much about me”. Bullseye, he got you there.

“Don’t flatter yourself” you grunt. “It’s bold of you to assume I’ve got a life outside the hero gig anyways,” you say deflecting. “And this isn’t really a big deal. I get free food. And this is just part of your base, not a real -real- hospital anyways... I mean I could do this for any wounded ally” you add averting your gaze. The snort tells you he didn’t buy into that.

It was a really bad lie, you’re usually better at this, of course, he knows you wouldn’t get into a hospital -even an infirmary- for just anyone. Well almost anyone, you know that now. Are you losing your touch? If you blush right now you’ll have to just kill yourself right here.

“Look, I’m taking turns with your mom, ok? That’s all! It’s really no big deal.” you sigh. “She left at midnight to get some sleep. She’ll be back in the morning.”

“So you met her? can’t believe I missed that! What did she even say?”

“Oh uh… Not much… really. She seemed to like me I think?” In fact, she said a lot to you. About how Ricardo keeps talking about you and how he’s lucky to have such a good friend that you’d offer to stay for so long… and a whole LOAD of other stuff about Ortega that you didn’t know. “How are you feeling?”

“My chest hurts like hell. But I’m good at keeping up appearances,” he says with another pained smile. His voice sounds tired. Damn him and his unreadable mind… you couldn’t tell it hurt like that.

“Let’s fix that,” you say as you raise from the seat and start fiddling and adjusting the drips attached to his arm.

“Hey hey hey… What are you doing?” he asks nervously as he watches.

“Increasing the painkiller dosage?” you explain matter-of-factly

“But shouldn’t my doctor do that?”

“Fuck him”

“That’s a bit harsh”

You turn to look at him “He took you off painkillers because your sponsors bribed him so they can get a full diagnostic of your mods by the morning. They seem to think the drugs would mess that test’s accuracy.”

“... that does sound like something they’d do, the jerks...” he sighs. “What did you do?”

“I dealt with it.”

“Dealt with it how?”

“I had him confess what he did, and then killed him”

He looks at you wide-eyed for a few seconds. Wow, he actually believes you could do that.

“Of course I didn’t kill him you asshole! That was a joke. He’ll come back eventually when it’s time to check up on you. I just gave him a time-out”

“Oooh… It’s just you don’t tell that many jokes. And you were pretty convincing for a moment there. Did I tell you that you look very serious most of the time?”

“Idiot” you groan sitting reassuming your adjustments as he watches, a bit more relaxed now. “By the way I know what I’m doing. I’ve got training as a nurse”

“Really? Maybe I should hire you to do this more regularly. Didn’t know you had medical training”

“That’s me. Big box of surprises. Sadly, you couldn’t afford me,” you say with a smirk. He just snorts, which makes him hurt again. He’s an Idiot and you should probably stop telling him jokes.

“Ok, doc… Can we move on to the part where you tell me how bad it is?” he says looking at his chest. “Or do we need the real doc for that?”

“Nah, I can do that… It’s really bad right now” you start “Nasty cuts. You went into intensive care, but you’re off now, your surgery was a complete success with no organ damage or permanent injuries. You still had blood transfusions twice from two of your cousins who were here when they brought you. You’re going to have some new interesting scars. Overall, the consensus is that you’re going to be wearing your Charge suit as soon as they can spit you out of here. Your sponsors have prepared some media things for you while you recover, so you don’t lose the limelight, so you can expect cameras up your nose when they realize you’re awake.”

“Well that’s just…” he starts before trailing off.

“Grotesque? Horrible?”

“Business as usual really…” he says taking in a deep breath.

“I’ll scare them off too if you want. Shouldn’t be hard.”

“How about I hire you to be my personal spook instead?”

“You don’t need to pay me for that,” you say as you finish adjusting the dosage “Also, you should be feeling better in a bit, and if you don’t we can go for a stronger dosage... Or I can even get the asshole to give you something stronger”

“Thanks, Awan”

“It ‘s ok,” you say taking your seat again.

His gaze runs around the empty room, the dark corridor outside, and the digital clock by the bed. 3:17 AM. It’s pretty obvious it’s only the two of you right now.

“Thanks for staying Awan. I know how much you hate hospitals”

“I do hate them a lot. But I told you it’s nothing”

“Not everyone would do this”

“I bet a lot of people would…”

“Nope. Only a really good friend would. “Would you be mad if I told you you’re my best friend ?”

“Wha…? Now you’re just being ridiculous…”

“Because you are my best friend. You know that right?”

“I...” you say averting your gaze. Fuck, you’re going to blush. You rub your face before looking back.

“Oh. Now you’re mad” he grins.

“You’re my best friend too, ok?… “ You’re staring right at him, the words somehow escaping your lips very quickly before you can take them back. Shitshitshitshit...Why does this keep happening around him?

He opens his mouth about to say something, before he simply closes it again, giving you a fond smirk before patting your hand next to the bed. He says nothing and neither do you.

It takes a while before he breaks the silence again.

“Is Elyise alright?” he asks suddenly worried.

“She’s fine.”

“I just had this feeling of… Did something happen to her?”

“I told you she’s fine. See for yourself” you say with a half-smile turning on the TV. “The news is still raging on about her”

Sure enough the news report show a picture of her at the large screen behind the reporter, with the headlines “Exclusive interview, Elyse” She’s giving an interview, photo flashes showering her as she answers questions about her relationship with Ortega -which she deflects with some mistery - and the mess that happened at the docks -which she also deflects-. You’ve got to discuss both of those with Ortega too.

Then a reporter asks her about the death of her mother… she breaks, starts tearing up… one of her PR guys says the interview is over and takes her away. The media is loving her, even if that breaks her apart.

“Don’t you love Los Diablos Quality TV?” you ask sarcastically.

“Ugh. That’s my life. I gave her a few hints but you can never be ready for questions like that.”

“What’s the deal between you two?” you ask curiously

“Ehrm… well, we talked a lot after that mess in Sunken Town… She was really sad and needed someone to dump it all on, and I kind of was there, so we started talking about losing parents… And her story was out of this world. We talked all night, and then I was going to go back home and she wanted me to stay and one thing led to another and…”

“Oh”

“It’s not like that! I mean… Ugh… Crap, I guess it is like that.?

“Sound like it is”

“But then our PR’s got involved and they loved it. They wanted to make a whole story arch about it, and I was going to say no, but she asked me to do it? I mean she said we should do it, you know, to get headlines”

“So there’s nothing serious going on?”

“Ehrm…” he seems a bit confused by the question. “I don’t know? No? Yes? Maybe?”

“Hey, it’s ok. It’s just me asking”

“Yeah, I know. Truth is, I’ve got no idea. Never met anyone who’s lost as much as her. The things she endured… And I’d like to help her but I’m not sure if she’s in the right place now. I guess we’ll have to see where it goes? You know how these things go with other heroes…”

You nod as if you knew what he was talking about, which you don’t.

“Now with thy dumpster fire love life out of the way… could you….”

“Could I what?”

“Remind me how did I fuck up so bad as to end up here?”

“You don’t remember?”

“Nope.”

“Not even…?”

“Not a clue pal. Nada.” Crap. “I guess it had to do with the docks mess that Elyise talked about?”

“It does. What’s the last thing you recall?” you ask

“I think we were at some sort of event, right?”

“... yeah, we were. Hauswald fundraiser for their new facility. Reaper hosted it...That’s when it all started going downhill. You seriously don’t remember a thing after that?”

“Hmm... I think some of it’s coming back… but it’s blurry... “ he goes silent.

“Alright, I’ll try to keep it short…”

“Why? You told me I’m not going anywhere”

“... you just... listen”

___________________________

Hauswald Foundation Charity fundraiser dinner.

Dodge to the left to avoid the punch… flip away from the kick…

One of them thinks he has the advantage and attempts to trip you, but you time your jump correctly, and he misses. THey’re all off balance… Now’s the time to take the offensive!

Leaping forward onto your three attackers, you grapple them all in your arms, lifting them as they scream in surprise before you slam them forward with all your strength.

Excellent, you tell yourself as the three kids fall off onto the bouncy castle, giggling as they try to stand up and jump. The other kids cheer at you. They really love your Sidestep persona. You’re tempted to jump in yourself, but you’ve been using the bouncy castle far too long and some of the parents are starting to give you side-eye. Stupid rules say the castle is just for kids… Oh well, better quit while you’re ahead.

“Good try, you almost got me there!” You say behind your mask. You didn’t know what to expect when Ricardo asked you to make an appearance with the Hauswald kids, but now all you want to do is keep playing with them. They had this playground built so the permanent residents could spend time with their kids until the new facilities are built. It doesn’t help that chronologically speaking, you’re probably not too far apart from their current age.

The thought makes you ponder on how would it have been to have a normal childhood like them and the whole experience suddenly becomes both sad and alien. You only wish you could have…-

“Wow. You’re amazing with kids! What other secrets do you have?” Anathema says interrupting your thoughts.

“I’m a genetically modified monster created in a lab as a weapon designed to pass as a human and take over the world,” you say because the truth is often the better lie. You wave your arms in front of you, walking slowly to Annie, as a monster would.

“I knew it. You’re one of them eeeevil Snake-people!”

“Ha! We prefer the term Sneeple. We’re not anything like snakes!. We just happen to be poisonous” you grin under the mask.

“Sneeple” the children laugh pointing at you.

“Oh no! You’ve got me!” you cry out. “But I will not go down easily! Prepare to feel my poisonous bite Anathema!”

“I’ll defeat the Sneeple guys!” Anathema says doing a slow-motion mock-punch at you.

You fake a suitable slow-motion fall, and they all laugh it up.

“Good job,” Anathema says offering a hand

“Giving it a 101%” you chuckle as you take his hand and he lifts you up.

“You should have kids of your own one day man. You’d be great at it”

“Let’s go back into the ceremony,” you say quickly. “I think we made our appearance long enough already,” you’re ignoring his comment and hoping he won’t ever mention anything as scary and confusing as that ever again.

“Can’t wait for the big awards to be over?”

“That’s the plan, I’m not staying a second longer than I have to”

“Man you could really use some decent PR for a change, get some sort of message to your fans. There’s a magazine saying you’re secretly a Japanese ninja, coming out all the way from Kyoto in search of the murderer of your father. It’s nuts. You should get closer to the people and get a real story going...”

“Hell no, no one’s getting closer to me. Also, I happen to like that story. I think I’ll sprinkle some Japanese when I talk in public from now on...”

“Wait, you speak Japanese?!”

“Of course I do. Now If only I could find my father’s killer…”

“You asshole!” he snorts following you back inside.”

___________________________

“And without further ado, we move on to the event of the night,” Reaper says holding the mic with his good hand. He’s in a wheelchair, still with a cast arm, but the combination of an impossibly expensive Tuxedo being worn by a talking skeleton oddly makes him both look distinguished and larger than life. In an eldritch kind of way that is. His mind’s different, there’s a fire in it that you didn’t notice before. Fire. Like the Hospital burning. It’s not really very surprising that he’d get a whole new passion for rebuilding what he loves.

“We hand over the Hauswald awards to those who have contributed the most in our fight against the epidemic of death that threatens our great nation!” he announces. “The panel of judges has spoken,” he says motioning to a group of people sitting on a large table by the podium, famous all of them, reporters, politicians, artists, writers, and philosophers founding members of the Hauswald along with Reaper himself. While the founder is dead, Amanda Hauswald, his only daughter is right there too, a young blockbuster actress in her 20’s that’s set to play Elyise in her upcoming film. She rises from her chair, adjusting her gorgeous silver velvet gown and climbs to the stage, to pass several envelopes to Reaper.

Reaper thanks her, and prepares to announce the winners.

“Are you going to eat at all?” Ortega asks beside you, wearing his own white suit.

“The mask stays on”

“You could just lift up the lower part a bit” Anathema comments from the other side.

“The mask stays on” you repeat.

“But these are amazing!!” he says motioning to his plate

“That’s why I brought this,” you say tapping a large piece of Tupperware full of everything you could gather from the reception up to this point.

“You didn’t just bring that to…” Ortega looks at you appalled “You can’t… you can’t do that at events like this!”

“Just watch me,” you say defiantly. “The mask stays on, and I take my food-to-go” You’re sick of being starved every time you get dragged into something like this. The only compromise you made was letting Anathema add last-minute bowtie to your suit, which looks oddly fitting for the occasion.

“Unbelievable… fine... Just keep it out of sight, and if anyone asks, I don’t know you” Ortega says giving up.

“I still think someone leaked,” Steel tells Sentinel, from the other end of the table.”

“With half the police being corrupt, it’s not that hard for the Loan Shark to get leaks about us coming to arrest him anyways” Sentinel shoots back. “Or are you saying that one of us gave the raid away on purpose?”

Steel looks at you briefly, before answering.

“No, no I didn’t mean that… But perhaps if we kept the intel only to the inner team, we could avoid it all spreading and…”

“Let it go, it’s not against you” Annie whispers “He just angry and It could have been anyone. Like Sentinel said, half the police’s on Hollow Ground’s payroll.”

“I know… I just wish he’d trust me a bit at least” you whisper back. “I was the one who came with the ledgers in the first place”

“I’ll remind him”

“Don’t. Let it be, it’s ok” you say looking at the other tables. The raid to arrest Lewie was a bust, he had been tipped off and the office had been whipped clean. Not even a trace of the furniture and the walls had been repainted. And his safe was gone.

Your attention derails towards Elyise. She’s watching Reaper’s delivery from another table along with her own crew, investigators, photographers, and publicists. After the events with Mother, she’s become the main torchbearer to the Hauswald, possibly overshadowing Reaper himself, and the public relationship with Charge shun even more light over her rising star. Reaper’s provided her every resource, both in her hero duties and with an endless media bombardment that’s working to get her ahead in the hero-game fast. She doesn’t seem thrilled about her life being used and exposed this way, but you can’t really blame Reaper. She’s the perfect poster-child to lead the fight against the madness of loose hero-drugs trough the country, and he knows it.

Reaper goes to announce awards for artists, media representatives, film-makers, and others. Right after regular every-day hero award, he moves on to the main event of the night.

The hero awards.

The Hauswald offers one of the most coveted awards for those who care about that kind of thing. This is the main reason Ortega insisted you be here if the Rangers win, he wants you to share it with them if they win, and he somehow managed to verbally outmaneuver you into coming along. Truth is everyone expects Elyise to win this year, but Ortega’s still hoping for a new trophy.

The man must control some form of witchcraft to get you agreeing to come to something like this. Or perhaps you’re finding it harder and harder to look for excuses to keep your distance from him. The thought makes you shiver under your suit.

He takes pause as he reads the contents of the last envelope.

“Oh boy… Really?” he says, a boney hand rubbing his face. He looks back at the judges as if to double-check. They all nod at him, and he turns back to the audience. “ Well, this is going to be controversial. Alright, Light up the contenders!” he asks the organizers.

Ortega stands straight, as Steel frowns when the lights come upon your table. Something similar is happening to your left, where Captain Glory and the Phoenix Rangers are also getting ready in case they win. Elyise’s not on her table surprisingly. You can see her walking to the side, having what looks like a really nasty discussion over her phone. That’d odd…

One of her team took her chair, waiting to receive the Award for her if she happens to win.

It takes forever before Reaper finally speaks, probably trying to be theatrical.

“I am proud to announce the winner of this year’s award of the Hauswald, an individual who’s done more than anyone else to stop the scourge of power drugs. Someone who took it up to themselves to fight back against the endless spiral of death the corporations bring upon our beloved West Coast…”

You can see Ortega’s fists clenching as he looks completely tense. Captain Glory seems just as tense when Aurora takes his left hand, startling him before he smiles at her. They’re such a darn cute couple…

You end up staring at Ortega’s hand, so close to yours. You can’t stop thinking about how his suit fits him like a glove and how he looks so darn…

You force your gaze to look elsewhere as fast as you can.

Elyise’s standing by the sidelines, her phone discussion seems worsening and she looks really mad now. There are some stray thoughts coming from her. Someone wants her to do something… and she won’t have it. You can feel her anger. She feels... Threatened by something… ?

“Sadly, the winner couldn’t join us here for the event, but If they are listening, we hope this serves as the recognition they deserve, even if some of us don’t personally condone their methods of fighting the drug epidemic...” he goes on, prompting confusion through the room.

“... the winner goes by many names, but lately, media has settled on one, and it’s rather a grim one, but then again, I can’t seriously call anyone out on those grounds”

Laughs at the joke… and suspense.

“This hero has single-handedly stopped the largest rings of drug dealers throughout the city! Thanks to them, hero-drug deaths have gone to their lower point in a decade! The award goes to …

You can see Ortega biting his lip, and CAptain Glory inching at the tip of his seat.

“...Catastrofiend!”

There is a brief moment of silence amongst the crowd before everyone starts voicing their minds. Elyise looks at the stage confused, she’s clearly not been paying attention at all and trying to catch up.

“You can’t award a murderer!!!” someone cries out.

“Shut up, he cleaned up the corporation’s mess in less than a month!” someone counters. The voices start getting heated from there, with two defined sides forming very quickly around the new vigilante, booing and cheering going over one another.

Captain Glory and his team stand up at unison and start making for the door.

“We’re leaving too,” Ortega says standing up, as does Anathema realizing the party’s over.

___________________________________

Rangers HQ, infirmary, present time.

“WHAT?!” Ortega looks at you confused. “They gave the prize to that murderer?!”

“You know that’s the exact thing you said after we got through the door”

“Was Reaper out of his mind?”

“Ehh.. he was kind of all fired up, but out of his mind? No. Besides, he didn’t decide, the Hauswald board did. They’ regularly keep tabs on the price of the drugs, and when you crunch the numbers, there’s no question about it, the Catastrofiend killings have really put them on the run. They had graphs to prove it, not that anyone was hearing. Hero Drugs are almost impossible to buy in Los Diablos right now.

“But Catastrofiend’s… massacring people on the streets…!”

“Well, you know what they think of dealers at the Hauswald, especially after the old facility got burned down. They’re not even people to them anymore. And it’s been on the media since… a lot of people in the police force are speaking about how the Catastrofiend’s helping their job more than the rangers or anyone else in fact. Even the governor flirted with the idea of a pardon”

“That’s insane… What do they expect us to do? Start shooting dealers on the streets now? That award should’ve been Elyise’s”

“Rumor is that was the idea, but the board changed it without telling Reaper… They didn’t want to be seen as just pandering to whomever he chose. And perhaps they’re seeing Catastrofiend as the new Reaper”

“Yeah, back when he wasn’t suitable for kids.”

“Yeah,” you say leaning back on your chair.

He takes a few moments to digest it before speaking again.

“I guess there’s more to the story? Or did Captain Glory and I start a brawl at the exit and that got me decked here?”

“Oh no. Those… “ you say drawing a circle with your finger chest. “... those came later. We got a call right after the event.”

“What was it?”

“Anonymous caller reported there was a huge shootout ongoing at the docks. They gave enough details to match what we found on the Loan Shark’s ledgers.”

“They found him? That’s great, so he didn’t escape after all!” he says. “Wait… so the Loan Shark did this?” he asks looking at his chest again “Fucking Lewie...”

“Lewie didn’t do this.”

“What? Then who?”

“We weren’t the first to arrive...”

“They tipped him off again?”

“Catastrofiend was already there when we arrived,” you say grimacing.

He stays silent, your words sinking in slowly.

“Go on,” he says in the end.

Bitcoin GIGANTIC Long Term Signal?! April 2020 Price Prediction & News Analysis

VIDEO TRANSCRIPT

Mark COLVIN has the most historically bullish any hit on Bitcoin at just given the signal for a buy a bad name and a mass? My son and my son made the Moscow mayor to Moscow. Well, well, well, welcome back to CROSSFIRE. Okay. Let’s see if Obus wants to work. Hold on. Quick fix. There it is. Yes. Oh, my God. Okay. Hopefully this one actually works. Anyway, I do want to wish you a very happy and healthy start. Your sad Saturday, Saturday morning over here from actually a bright and sunny Helsinki, Finland. Cold as fuck those year degrees Celsius. I don’t know what that is in Fahrenheit. Now I feel like I’ve been. I feel like that’s the point of full assimilation from being American to Europeans, going from a weird American metrics over to the metric system. Anyway, it’s other than that, I should say that I’m not sure if I’ll be on foot today again, kind of deal with the same sort of things. Elsa has gotten tested for Corona virus the other day. She’s awaiting her results, but I don’t really think that we need results to confirm that she feels very bad and is running a fever and is obviously not in good shape right now. So do you have to prioritize that? Obviously, you know, human life over magic and money. Money’s at business, if you will. But a few things talked about today as far as a higher term time frames go really unseen. Anything different happen over there. So we’ll maybe briefly go over today. I do hope that this video is going to be a little bit on the shorter side, maybe even less than 20 minutes, if I can, with the focus tomorrow on the higher term time frames. But realistically, the reason why we’re not talking about them is because a lower term time frames are, well, more appealing right now and really nothing’s changed. So I don’t really want to be repeating the same fucking things every god damn day. So if you really do want to see it once again, nothing’s really changed from last Sunday’s long term analysis video. And you’re more than welcome to check that one out in the in the long term analysis playlist anyways. As far as he Crunchie, an application goes right over here. We do have the open interest chart now alive. All you have to do is click on the number reading on the open interest chart. Mother fucker. It’s actually not updating right away as well. Dammit. OK. Well, we can deal with the sweater. Hopefully this video comes through, right? Anyways, you will notice that we only have data going back a few days now, but that will be populated over time. And in this next update, we will see. You’ll see. You’ll see that chart be absolutely beautified by our lovely creative designer. Have to carve out his full name. It’s like, wait. Maybe I shouldn’t dox this person. We’ll just leave meant that lovely creative designer. He’s awesome, man. The man from Florida. The one sane person in Florida. Maybe. Anyways, anyways, looking at open interest. Nonetheless, we do see it hanging around that 650 million marker, which tells us still that we’re kind of caught within the same paradigm in market. We haven’t really seen a big shattering move above the 750 million marker on the open interest. We’ve really seen a shattering move back down below 550 million. So we’re kind of caught within the same sort of phase, I suppose, if you will, anyways. On top of that, I think it’s time for me to answer the question that I posed at the beginning of this video. Has the most bullish indicator for bitcoin that has been pretty damn actor in the past. Has it actually flashed a bicycle? And I want to preferences first by saying I’ve gotten a million fucking messages about this, even even despite my requests that right now it’s not the best time for messages. It’s just really difficult for me to get around. I don’t want I don’t want to come off as arrogant or just like, you know, completely detached asshole, I guess. But, you know, a little bit of real life right here and a little bit of, you know, what’s the word that I’m looking for? Perspective. But let’s go check it out. Running over here. A million people fucking sent me this. It’s about the hasher bins and they ask and they say crown. The hash ribbon is just just signal. No buy signal. And it’s always right. Why aren’t you talking about. It’s like it’s like an accusation. I well, we can go look at it right now. Well, let’s let’s answer those questions. So let’s look at it right here. We do see that on Bitstamp it is actually partially maybe a bison or now this is actually not confirmed as it is. And the exchange is that we go through as we kind of look through all of the majors, you can see that there is obvious bifurcation within this. This is g.d axe. We are not getting that same bison when it goes up and down, depending upon how we kind of close its current day or site where we are currently. But literally, if you see just one tick lower than where we are right now, you will see this undo itself. Same thing with Bitstamp right here. Same thing with FinTechs right here. Or actually Phoenix. OK, Phoenix, let’s have it there. And then bit next goes like she looked one more little bit more likely, but it is perhaps within the cards. But let’s actually do a little bit of a deep dive for this is going to be the one time. The one thing that I’ve talked about from. From a long term time frame perspective, being a daily Sowetan, you know, not so much, but we’re gonna have to go over it a little bit more of historical historical price action here. Last time that we did have a bicycle was pretty damn good as far as getting the lost momentum to the downside before $4000 rallied to the upside. This was back on over here in late December. Twenty nineteen right around this region right here. Yes. Bitcoin does have a short tumble, but does not make a new low after that before a $4000 rally on the upside. Let me just make sure that recording I am recording the Mike Fund’s work. That’s good. Before that action actually need to go to an exchange that has more price hikes in history. We can go on over here to January 2019 again. We do get the bias and no here after the lowest put in, so no new lows were made. But Bitcoin does tumble over kind of near near that low once again. So I do think that that’s interesting nonetheless. And then if we go back a little bit further than that, we have another example back in over here, this one. You know, it’s a different phase. The mark cycle as Bitcoin was obviously in an uptrend on the macro phases in right here. We do see a bison. No populated basically at the end of this year. I call it a crash called a correction is a pretty intense move, actually. Remember this one, I believe? Yeah, 40 percent moved to the downside relatively fast. Now, again, getting the bison or after the low is put in, but does come back down a secondary time and in kind. I wouldn’t say test that test the prior low, but does kind of have another have another ebb to the downside. A couple examples back over here in 2014, 2015 as well. We do see this bison all riding over here. This one, again, it was the ultimate low in. Yes, it was. Does bitcoin come back down and actually make a lower low than where that bison? It was partially. Yes, it does buy good. Well, I know. I don’t know by how good of a margin right here, about 10 eleven percent, which, you know, is significant. And then, of course, we have an example right here. Obviously, that’s one time and it even worse. But was the low actually in? Yes, it was. And does Bitcoin come back down like obviously. Where do you know that? And then, of course, this one. Right. And over here again, you know, not not the best timing of momentum. The upside at all. But was a low end beforehand. Yes, it was. And the main thing is, is that we don’t really have any fake outs with this of like making a new low, at least that I’ve seen thus far. So it is interesting. And I do think that it could be you know, it could be of significant interest if we do fully informally confirm this. But that’s still not happening until later tonight. So today’s daily Delta closure can be relatively important again. Right. And over here we have this example in February of 2013. This one, it’s hard to kind of zero in on it. This this one actually did get a good timing signal right there. But again, that’s actually an outlier. That’s one out of, I don’t know, six or seven now. This one. Right. And over here, same thing gives you a bicycle. All this one does come back down and actually test around that area, but just ever so slightly above it. And the low is obviously and beforehand. And then we have this example back in over here again giving you the bison. Oh, yes. We do come back down to that area to test around it. This is getting a little bit too far back in Bitcoin’s. That’s for me to really feel comfortable with. But. But again, the low is in beforehand. So that seems to be consistent. And I do think that this is of interest. But the reason why I haven’t been talking about it is because I don’t believe it’s been confirmed just yet. We need to see another day, another daily deal to close, because I do see this kind of, you know, going in and out here, you know, depending upon how today’s closed. So you will see that the most recent circle, if you will, on this is blue. That needs to be sustained for at least a day. And then, yes, it actually would be within the cards and then and. But but but remember, as we’ve shown over the history of time, that doesn’t mean that Bitcoin’s not going to or potentially couldn’t come back down. In fact, that is par for the course and what we’ve seen longer term. But I do think that this does really start to shape up the conversation of this really operating, as you know, as a long term, perhaps macro low. I do think that the bears who are saying that this is going to go down to two thousand or even a thousand or even back down to 3000, I think that that’s unlikely. I do think it’s likely that we will have another down move, probably back down to like low 6000 maybe, maybe, maybe even low 5000. But this also does kind of fit in with my analysis of Turkish markets where I do think that Turkish marks. I think I think they’re more like more than likely bottomed. Again, it doesn’t mean that it’s not going to come back down. In fact, I do think next week’s going to be a down week just like that. Just just like I said this week, which did come down. And I and I think that we’re going to get continuation next week. But we can actually make a new low. I think it’s just gonna be a bear trap. Realistically speaking, I think that most people are. I think that the average retailer is bearish right now. I think that the average retailer, you know, somebody who you talk to and I like any fucking conversation that you’d have now with a regular person is, man, the economy’s going to the economy’s really bad. A lot of recessions long. If we’re gonna go on to depressions like that is it seems it seems a little bit it’s like the opposite of euphoria. It’s like what’s what’s what’s like what’s like a like an immense love for, you know, for downside. I don’t know, whatever it is. Despair. Yeah, despairs. Despairs within what for? Although there should be a stronger one than that. If you have a stronger word than despair, please let me know, cause I’m looking to expand my version of English at least at least as it is. So yes, that is in the cards tonight. And if that does get confirmed, you know, historically speaking, that has been one herbsaint. Correct. Now, that, again, does not take away from the fact that I do think that there is a very actually not just not just possible to have another tune-up to have another move to the downside. I think it’s actually rather likely, but I would not necessarily look for that move to be a massive, massive, earth shattering move to the downside. Making new lows again if this gets confirmed, so there’s a big if statement there. All right. So now we just talked about all the higher term timeframe bullshit that I wanted to talk about. Now let’s go down to lower term time frames and talk about what is likely to happen on a fucking Saturday, which is usually rather dull. So yesterday I left you off and we are kind of flagging out above this blue box territory. We may come back down and test it a few times. You know, again, I think that I think that my own trading style here kind of, you know, just I think that it’s pretty self-explanatory. Just testing into the boob, into the blue boxes until we actually do break them. But. But, you know. But again, as you know, as it’s been tested a couple times here, I support offered up a couple couple nice scalps. And to me, it looks like we are gonna be getting ready to test some upside here after failure to break down another swipe into the blue box territory right over here, I think is rather likely. And yes, I did close shorts within this region yesterday on this second test right here. And pretty much around the time that I woke up, as I woke up rather early, going to I went to bed last night like maybe 8:30 or 9. It’s fucking insane. And it’s been consistently like that for like a couple months now. It’s kind of crazy. And what’s even crazier is that actually outside in Finland right now, it doesn’t get dark. Intel really fucking late. And there’s actually gonna be a period of time like for a month or so where it literally does not even get dark at all. It’s it’s at 2 a.m., 3 a.m. It will be bright as fucking day at at that time. It’s just insane. I actually hate it’s probably my least favorite thing about living here anyway. So, you know, as it stands right now, I want to see if my momentum alters our agreement as it looks to me like once have another test. The upside for our stoke’s did come down all of yesterday. But price action failing to break below this region right here does offer up more of more of a look at this as a bullish reset. Sorry. Let me get rid of this right here. It’s not relevant to what we’re looking at. Does a little more like a bullish reset. But let’s see, all the other lower term time frames are kind of operating right now. This a flush. This is a fresh look on price, price, price action for myself this morning. So I don’t have I don’t have a I don’t have a bias coming into this. We do see three ourselves already kind of curling up and rejecting, getting side rejecting, getting out of the bullish controls. And so I do like that going over the two hour, I would expect to see the same thing. Yes, indeed we do. And the our the expect to see all the way up there. Yes, indeed it does. So that’s more or less good. And I do think that we are going to test some upside here. Yes. This is a little bit of a bull flag as it stands on the lower term time frames. I think it’s the most most obvious and like the 2 and 4 hour and you can make a much move off this. I mean, short term, you know, for a very short term move, I’d say a move past a back above this little prior high right here at ten on Mesko does initiate a move all the way up to seventy seven fifty. Again, this is this is a Saturday. It’s not any mirth earth-shattering mood. But if you know, if I am trading low term time frames, that’s what I’d be looking at, although I do not trade on the weekends for you know for the specific reason that it’s usually time for fake out territory. And with that potential buy signal on the hash ribbon’s is it you know, you know, you know way to right now be a good time for bears to mountain attack if they did want to mountain attack. Yes, I do think so. So, you know, I would be overall cautious here. But but you know. But pivot pivot pivots for trading this area or least trading supporting resistance are pretty damn simple. Same shit as what we looked at yesterday. Seventy four hundred to the downside and 78 hundreds, the upside ish region. This area right here, obviously a lot bigger between about 78 to so let’s call it seventy. But that’s relevant to the higher term time frames. So I really want to see like a higher term time frame close above their twelve hour daily at a minimum and that’s gonna that’s gonna be some shape up or change the the rest of my analysis. But for right now it’s looking like the lower term time frames. Do you want to test up a little bit again. Maybe another test back up to like seventy seven fifty ish region. I am I have no opinion on whether bitcoin closes above there or not. I do have an opinion on how this will set more long term. If that hish if that harrabin signal does get confirmed legit night which is going to have a chance to. But he needs a close daily needs close above about 77. Sorry. Seventy five hundred ish region for it to be a topic of consideration. And I believe we close below study 400 that will actually be reverted. And I do have my skepticism here, but it’s really going to align with my long term view of OK. Is Bitcoin still in danger of making a new low, a blow below this low that we’ve kind of already put in? Or is it or or or is that conversation well gone? And on the next big down, I should be looking for Prep’s or perhaps out like a long term hot opposition. That’s that’s to be determined, which we will have clarity on tomorrow. Now, for four for what it’s worth right now, it actually I said I wouldn’t go on to hide from conference, but I would like to look at CMU because we did see the weekly closed for Sammies yesterday night at 5 p.m. Central Standard Time. This weekly closed right here does really offer up too much. It does look good from a momentum positive momentum positive perspective. We do see weekly Stoke’s back up and rejecting the birth control zone. I think that that’s more more good than bad. Of course. And weekly RSI is getting back to the expansion, although I am rather. That’s not the most strong read of all time either. And Bitcoin did close, but the. And simple, so realistically, it just offers up a very easy way to be trading this combination next week, which is going to really help formulate any sort of buys for a medium term move, just trading this as kind of a D-O-G dollar below it at 60, 750 or above it, whatever the high was, I think maybe we’ve got to like 8000. You’re now 78, 70 ish region, it looks like which which whichever one gets taken out first should be our next medium or even probably higher term time frame direction. So starting to look a little more insane here. Weekly jewel not really telling us anything. It’s not really too much. It’s right here. Daily Jewel. I’m just looking at Spot just to kind of compare. Not really get anything obvious as well. So does Bitcoin have another another tent back up to the upper 7 thousands in the lower term time frames, perhaps? Yes, but I’m not really concerned with that. I’m concerned with the higher term timeframes right now as as we’re going to get some clarity on the long term situation here relatively soon. Now, is there bearish divergence in the four hours between this point? At this point formulating. Yeah, pretty much. Is there is that mediated by are set are are more higher, more higher timeframes like a twelve hour basically. That could be undone especially be close its next twelve hours above the 200x Benjamin it which is 75 fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu Street and so pretty much where we are at right now. So we could even make this on a low term timeframe area right here. We could actually mark off the low term timeframe, actionable area pretty damn nicely as well. Some like this would be looking towards and I could even use probably a low term time frame like this, like even an hourly, as we actually do see that work out pretty damn well on a weekend, more or less. Not always perfectly. But, you know, it’s it’s obviously gonna come with this reservations being a low term time frame. But but but but I have seen it work, no doubt. Anyways, you know, if you want to be more conservative, he’s a two hour. I suppose you could just use this area about it over here. If you’re playing the flag and if you are playing the flag formation anywhere above seventy six hundred on an hourly or to add to our clothes, I’d be looking for a move back up to about sunny some 50ish region and that should pull up R R for our momentum. mosshart is back up to the upside. That’s gonna look a little bit better. However, that could be a little bit of an issue. That’s not an issue. That’s not an issue either. I’m just saying if there’s any other if there’s any agreement. So it looks like it looks to me like the two hour jewel is a little bit of of the odd man out. It’s it would be suggesting pressure down. But still, I’d just be going from level to level here. They does take out this level. I’d pray or even just take out that last little whic high that we saw from the 24th of April. I’d probably be looking for another temped back up here into the lower end of the Bluebox at the very least. By the same token, any any whic below. You know, and even take below this low that we put in yesterday at 24th of April at seventy three eighty on Mexico. I’ll be looking for an actual move all the way back down here towards about twenty one fifty to seven one hundred ish region. So it’s a little bit of a you know it’s a little bit of a tight squeeze here. And obviously any sort of a four hour Delta closure below, let’s call it even even like these bodies right here at about sunny 450 ish region price does that one as well. So depending upon how aggressive I’d want to be, which I don’t want to be any any amounts of up aggressive on a weekend, that’s what I’d be looking at right now. Elsas coughing in the background. So it’s only a matter of time, baby. It’s only a matter of time before your boy has it. Well, I’m prepared, man. I’m prepared as much as I can be, I suppose. Anyways, I do want to cover up this as well. The 12 hour stock, about 2 percent out. We are still within the context of this. That does insinuate that a move is coming sooner rather than later. When? When I say sooner rather than later, I do think that we’re gonna see the resolution of this whole range. As far as the long term goes around the end of the month, which is in just a few days. Realistically speaking, that means I expect Bitcoin price action to either be above like 8000 or below 7000 by that time. But for right now, on a Saturday, I don’t think we’re going to get that resolution today. From a twelve hour perspective. This is looking good right here. Twelve hour stocks can be up as well. So why ever? Why ever discount them when they’ve been so good? It’s like, why am I doing any sort of tentacle announces that is not based on this pretty much exclusively? I don’t know. But if you two want to make things easy, for the last couple years, this has been pretty damn fuckin on the money. And we do see this resistance trend line coming in from our last few highs, which has been pretty damn accurate right around or right at the edge of the bullish controls on this. This one very much very significant as we have seen it get a lot of highs. Ever since February, February 9th, by the way, to be exact, which was our high ten thousand five hundred are high right here at ninety one hundred before this major move to the downside. Our next high riding over here before a thousand move to the downside. And then once again, more recently right here before a how big was smooth, 73 to to 60, 70, at least less impressive. But it’s six on a move to the downside. And then we probably will test that trend line once again, assuming that Bay Point gets somewhere around this Bluebox territory. So right now, position lists like I did say, I was short coming into yesterday and I did close it on that move down to this Bluebox right here. I might take the same trade if I get another opportunity, you know, on on today. But depending upon how we close the daily, I’m not so certain that I’ll be handling that for any realistic amount of time. Anyways, what else we want to look at? Um. I don’t really see any, you know, the voice in it, you’re kind of confirming what we see on stock of alternative Sentelle. You know, depending upon how the 12 hour closes right here as well, we could very easily make or so we could very easily undo that bearish divergence or say it’s not even Barasch evidence. But I’m sure what the Bears are looking at right now is they’re going to say that this is going to turn into bearish divergence. I don’t know. I think that that’s actually even. Yeah, that’s actually already on. That’s actually already unconfirmed. So you know what? Not only is it looking like continuation, this is. This is just a local sites site’s not even a local high right here. But we’re actually even making higher highs in the RSI right there as well. So, again, if I if you’re looking for like the big move on a weekend, I don’t think that is happening here. At most I’d say up to 70, 750 or down to like seventy one 50ish region. And I think that, you know, managing trades within this region is pretty damn stock standard. Any sort of a any sort of a move even above this high right here, price does get that continuation, although technically speaking, I’ll wait for like an hourly closed above seventy six and in an hourly closed below about seventy for call it or just tick below seventy three eighty to extrapolate that next move down to the to the short term age. But that’s only relevant to the short term. Medium term and long term range is actually one and the same now above about above about twenty nine fifty. Things start to really look a lot better for a move up to about mid or side mid 8000. This region by the same token a move below about seventy one hundred. That’s one. That’s. That’s what this really does look like. It’s going to come back down below 6000 again, maybe up to like the mid to low 5000 price somewhere around the turn. It’s simple or 200x Benjamin average on the weekly, which I’m gonna guess is right around those areas. What do you know. It’s right around fifty fifty seven hundred it looks like. So. So you know I do. So I do think that it’s that it’s possible for you know, for this downside to happen. I just need to see today’s close and that’s going to really, you know, drive my next bias. But if I’m just looking at the lower term time frames, I mean does it looks like an obvious flag out at a high level, which is typically very bullish, obviously? Yes. The problem with this is, is that it’s on a weekend and I’m very skeptical of of moves happen on a weekend. Doesn’t mean that I can’t be good, doesn’t mean that can’t happen by Tom. Ever since the Emmys have debuted in 2017, December 2010, 17, we have never seen a reversal that’s happened over a weekend to be sustained by for the price action. You know, once a real trading week starts, so that in this case, that actually mean to the downside, I’d be very skeptical of. But that doesn’t mean that we can have a little bit of downside pop back up for Sunday and then, you know, perhaps play a move. But for right now, you know, continuation the same direction would actually be to the upside. So that be actually fun anyways. Okay. So one of the other reasons why do you think Bitcoin probably is going to be putting in a local high, at least for medium term here is because I think that Marks are putting in a local high right here as well. And then this is coming from someone who actually does think that the low is is likely in for traditional markets. I do actually think that it is in now. The low being in does not mean that I just fucking buy blindly in this region right here. I don’t even try this one anymore. So doesn’t mean that I did. It means that I do nothing pretty much. And let me just make sure that everything is going well over here. I think it is. It looks like my charts are are my charts updating like instantaneously. They are. Okay, great. That’s awesome. Just talking to myself some more price only fucking maniac beetle. But tradition marks right here. Did close the gate. Did close a weekly is what you want to call it. A dragonfly, D-O-G Delta. You want to call it a Dodgeville. Do you want to call it long-legged D-O-G to anchor care, which you call it the implications. The same a signal of indecision, perhaps even reversal. If we take out this week’s low at about 232 in a quarter, I’d be looking for a move back down to like the two fifties to 55 ish region, probably wherever the 30 simple is on the daily, which I haven’t been looking at in a long time. Scotia, I believe it’s this one right here and yet are actually that’s much hard, about 260. So that, you know, doubt be the next obvious target to the downside if that were to happen next week. But I would be looking for a bounce there and kind of the same thing as Bitcoin, you know, very, very, very, very similar charts here have been a very, very violent move off the lows. And while I do think that what a while, depending upon how this next capitulation or side, depending upon how this next hasher been signals go, you probably see a very similar chart in the way that they’re going to you know, maybe you bought him out of here a little bit, a little bit more gradually scare people once again with an abrupt move to the downside. And then, you know, once all the headlines get going of depression, worse than 28, not worse in 1929. Worse than this. Worse than that. This is the worst time ever. Everyone’s jobless. Everyone’s fucking losing everything. Dan, that’s probably gonna be a pretty damn good time. And you see the hysteria around the around the web, too. It’s just very insane to me to see like the cryptocurrency people are the crypto currency YouTubers like cheer on the fall of this while thinking that that’s going to benefit Bitcoin and we just don’t see the same thing. I mean, if I remove the term spy here and just put put this chart against a bank. Against Bitcoin start for the same time period. Same fucking chart, man. Big move to the downside. Obviously, bigger move in Bitcoin because this was literally a 60 percent move to the downside. OK. Compared with like a 30 percent move on SPI. But again, you know, you can’t expect spy. to act as you know, as as as as a more immature asset. And then about a 31% move, the upside. Bitcoin obviously doubling off the lows. It’s all relative, right? It’s all relative. So, you know, at the end of a day, I do think that I actually think that the contrarian trade here is actually to be bullish long term on traditional markets and and not be looking for a new low to be made. But depending upon how this next week goes and especially other monthy closes that’s going to be, I think that that’s going to really help clarify the situation here. You know, if the monthy closes anywhere above two eighty two eighty six to eighty two eighty seven, I do think that that’s going to be long term bullish. And I and I don’t think that I don’t think that’s going to make it a new low. I do think that we’re probably going to test back down to like 260 at the very at the very least maybe maybe down to like 240 at the very most. But but I’ll be looking for a major low to be set in there. This is a phenomenal move. Yes. We did get, you know, some pretty massive signals on the monthy jewel. Yes, we did get some pretty hefty turnarounds. But on a closing basis, if if we were to set in a low right here, we’re gonna have a major hit and bullish evidence. And I’m sure that someone’s gonna say the crowd the week here is lower. How could that be? Because RSI is only measured on fucking Close’s Jesus Christ. And I know that that message is coming, man. I fucking know it. I’ve been doing it too long now. I’ve been doing it for over two years now. So I’m prepared. I can like almost answer questions before they even arise. Gold had a pretty damn close for the weekly as well. I do like this one. I think that is gonna be getting more continuation. Yes, I want to see the month close as well. But, you know, weekly closed like that is is is is is looking good enough. I still stick with it with what I’ve been saying long term. Eighteen hundred. Eighteen hundred plus realistically we’ve been bullish on this one for a while and I don’t really see any reason to not be medium and long term bullish short term. Is there you know, is there a threat of a pullback. Yeah, there is a mate, you know mate maybe back down at sixteen fifty in the next month. But but I don’t think that I don’t think that that’s really problematic as long it you know as as as long as as long as we’re close and we could have like this is fine. Six, you know. You know even coming back down to like 60, 90 would be completely fine. Let’s go check out what else you want to check out this video. AURITI long enough. I was twenty seven minutes, so I’m not going to meet my goal. But maybe I can. Maybe I can with this one out really, really fast. When in doubt, whip it out, baby. Look at daily a theory. This one is breaking through. This one’s breaking through this one. This one’s leading the. This one’s leading the party daily. Stoke’s back up. Dahlias talk of alternative. Sentelle is actually still contracting, which is concerning. Here’s the thing, though. We are going to meet in this trend line, I’m sure soon or are we going to be mean it soon? That’s coming into about 20 bucks. Even so, interesting is is is is rather insincere. But, you know, I would be looking for a pullback somewhere right around like two in a box, I suppose. Let’s see what the weekly looks like on this one. Yeah, the Wheatley’s and have a really good chance to close extremely well here. If the weekly closes anywhere above 192, I I I think that we are going to see this one green dildo its way up to our topside resistance, which is, hey, why is that so off right there? Why is that so off putting a hold on? In this case, I actually will use Wix just because this one does like or insight long term. It actually does like to kind of play off them, especially when we’re talking about macro levels. Perhaps perhaps all the way back up to like 250 ish region. All of this, though, is hinging off the assumption that this daily closes well and I would look for bitcoin to set the tone. So even if even if bureau does close above there, if I don’t see the same things on bitcoin or like a relateable thing on bitcoin, I would not just plainly look at that and going over here to misses like one at $45. Certainly the laggards still like not not looking strong here, actually looking at me like PRI trying to put in a top potential hit embarrassed divergence. Sorry, no side. I apologize. No, that that that is not correct. Looking at the weekly, the weekly still looks well week to me to use a. Bad pun. The full hour. It looks a week to me as well. Momentums also. It’s kind of getting faded here for hours, so it’s going to likely be turning down soon as well. And I do think that this one this one looks like it looks to me like the wants come back down at 42 bucks. But again, whatever Bitcoin does is going to mirror. So while I’m looking at beta all and this is like when is it really relevant? I don’t think so. Maybe beautifull is because I think that he’s in charge of the market right now. But typically. BUETER All rallies last as far as what I’ve seen. So maybe another spike up to 20 bucks. I would I would be looking for a pullback there, especially on the first pass. So going onto. Going back on a bitcoin and and this bitch up. Going to keep it within 30 minutes, so almost near my goal, but not quite 50 percent more, so fuck it. Oh, and I deman check out. Expect to move Slushie go back on over here. So what I’ll do with expectin moves, I’ll look at the short term range and then I’ll look at the long term range. So short term range again is seventy-four to the downside. Seventy six to the upside. The long term range is seventy one to the downside and seventy nine to the upside we’ll call it. Or maybe 79 950 the upside. So let’s go look at it right. And over here and let’s see this. OK. While Maadi on a four hour so might as well do it on a four hour. We can do seventy six. Twenty four, you know, for the upside. Seventy actually seventy three. Eighty for the downside. That’s exactly where the wick is. So what’s what’s most likely right now. Technically the upside mathematically speaking. Twenty six percent is what. Twenty six and a quarter percent versus nine and a quarter percent to the downside. So probabilities are still governed towards the upside for the short term. But what about the long term. Let’s go see this. Seventy nine fifty for the upside and seventy one. One hundred for the downside. That’s that’s when the moves really start to be a lot more interesting for you know, from that perspective, this is on for hour. We need maybe go to a daily Αθήνα at the very least, and we see that technically speaking, the upside tawergha probability is actually a little bit more than the downside. Eighty eight percent versus five and three quarters percent, but they’re more or less the same and more and more or less very low is what I want to show. So are we gonna be looking at the big break upward or down or down today? Unlikely. No. I would expect this to shoot up above like a court, say 25 percent or 28 percent in the next few days to one of those sides. To one of those sides. And that’s going to be likely correlated with a break. You know, very relatively, very soon. I think I think I think quite possibly within the next few days. Yep. That’s what I’ll be looking at right now. As far as long term time frames go to kind of shore them up once again. I think even on a two hour, this is probably fine. Technically speaking, seventy six hundred if if I do see a two hour data close above closure above there or even an hourly total closure above there, I would target to move back up to some 750 ish region. I understand that these moves are pretty fucking small, but this is weekend bullshit and any 400 to the downside. I’d be looking for a move back down about 31 50 to 70 100. Region. I don’t think that we’d break below this area on the weekend. If we do, I would be looking for a big bad move to the downside. But. But now. But now if we actually were to break to the downside longer term, this would probably be. Yeah. The the measure move on. This is it’s certainly not as aggressive as it was before. So before I think I think I was showing like 50, 400. Now it’s coming in around like fifty six hundred. So as time goes on, the the the failure to break to the downside in the short term does mean that the long term, if it were to break to the downside, that targets can be higher naturally. So you know, I think a little bit of patients here is still the way to go. And let’s see if like you’re truly fucking deprived of whatever, which I’m sure there’s plenty of plenty of crypto degenerates out there trading on a weekend, trading to fucking five minutes on the weekend. Hey, I shout out in poor went out for you, my friend, but I just won’t be joining you, that’s all. Anyways, that’s gonna do it for right now. Like I said, might be on twitch later. I’d say might or might not be. Need to deal with some real estate first and see how that goes. And then and then if we can, I will. If not, then I won’t. So with that said, I wish you well once again. Take care and until next time.

If you bring me a piece of bread, cabbage, coconut, mustard greens, pigs feet, pine cones…and a woodpecker, I’ll make you a good chicken pot pie. – Si Robertson • I believe it was Shakespeare, or possibly Howard Cosell, who first observed that marriage is very much like a birthday candle, in that ‘the flames of passion burn brightest when the wick of intimacy is first ignited by the disposable butane lighter of physical attraction, but sooner or later the heat of familiarity causes the wax of boredom to drip all over the vanilla frosting of novelty and the shredded coconut of romance.�� I could not have phrased it better myself. – Dave Barry • I developed a passion for the Middle Ages the same way some people develop a passion for coconuts. – Umberto Eco • I drink a lot of coconut water.

I’m touching it from all basis. The album aint banana’s, it’s coconuts. – E-40 • I knew he was unreliable, but he was fun to be with. He was a child’s ideal companion, full of surprises and happy animal energy. He enjoyed food and drink. He liked to try new things. He brought home coconuts, papayas, mangoes, and urged them on our reluctant conservative selves. On Sundays he liked to discover new places, take us on endless bus or trolley rides to some new park or beach he knew about.

Chocolate and coconut cakes. I love that combination! – Adriana Lima • I love KIND bars. My favorites are coconut and almond and the dark chocolate and sea salt because staying fueled helps keep me from getting sick or injured. Bananas have also made a great comeback in my life.

And that’s why I can make a radio out of a coconut, and not fix a hole in a boat!’ – Russell Johnson • I was in Cancun, Mexico, sitting in a disappearing-edge swimming pool, on a bar stool that was actually under the water, watching palm trees sway in a sultry breeze against the unmistakable aqua splendor of the Caribbean Sea; drinking coconut, lime, and tequila from a scooped-out pineapple, with salt spray of breaking surf and sun kissing my skin. Translation: I’d died and gone to heaven. – Karen Marie Moning • I was sometimes called ‘coconut’ when I was at school. – David Oyelowo • I will not go a day without coconut oil. I personally take four tablespoons per day, either on my salads, in my cooking or in my cups of green tea. – Miranda Kerr • I wish I could tell you about the South Pacific. The way it actually was. The endless ocean. The infinite specks of coral we called islands. Coconut palms nodding gracefully toward the ocean. Reefs upon which waves broke into spray, and inner lagoons, lovely beyond description. I wish I could tell you about the sweating jungle, the full moon rising behind the volcanoes, and the waiting. The waiting. The timeless, repetitive waiting. – James A. Michener • I would like magical palm tree that had a lot of shade with instead of coconuts there’s just peanut butter jelly sandwiches with cheetos underneath. And my wife that is always happy and possibly naked. – Channing Tatum • If you live on an atoll and you get a warning by radio that a big wave is coming and everyone is told to move to higher ground, where are you supposed to go on these islands? There is none. The highest ground is four-meters (around 13 feet) above sea level, meaning you’d be safer in a coconut tree. How, though, are you supposed to get your grandfather, grandmother and grandchildren up there? – Enele Sopoaga • If you take 12 waters from the coconut – not the ones you buy in the store, although that’s good – but the fresh coconuts, the little brown ones with the three eyes, if you take 12 of those within 24 hours, your blood will go back to the way it was when you were born. – Dick Gregory • I’ll admit that I do quite like drinks that come in coconut shells. So there’s always that. – Danica McKellar • I’m all about having one day during the week when I have an at-home spa day.

That’s what a family is. Also the storm at sea, the ship, and the unknown shore. And the hats and the whiskey stills that you make out of bamboo and coconuts. And the fire that you light to keep away the beasts. – Michael Chabon • It was incredibly cheesy set with torches [TV’s Survivor] – it looked like the lobby of the Enchanted Tiki Room at Disneyland. And here as some guy pulling names out of a coconut, and I said, ‘This is the thing that has made American mass media stop in their tracks? – Tom Hanks • I’ve been doing this new ritual where the first thing I do in the morning is put a tablespoon of coconut oil in my mouth and swish it around. Then I put Kora Organics Rosehip Oil all over my body, which is incredible for your skin, and have a freezing-cold shower, all while I’m swishing the coconut oil in my mouth. It’s a way to get the circulation going and to make you feel reenergized and refreshed. – Miranda Kerr • Jemu watched his father disappear. He didn’t throw the coconut and he didn’t cry. Never again would he know love for another human being that wasn’t adulterated by another, contradictory emotion. – Kiran Desai • Love is also like a coconut which is good while it is fresh, but you have to spit it out when the juice is gone, what’s left tastes bitter. – Bertolt Brecht • My favorite food is macaroni and cheese that my grandma makes. My favorite drink has to be Vita Coco coconut water. – Sloane Stephens • My fridge is really just vegan: coconut water, Gatorade (my favorite!), cucumbers, mint, kale, vegetables, ginger, and wheat grass. – Serena Williams • My friend has hand soap that smells like coconut. It’s nice. Unless your hands are dirty from coconuts. – Demetri Martin • My mom grew up in the Philippines, and she would use coconut oil. I put that in my hair always – literally, natural coconut oil that you use for cooking. I use that for my cuticles and dry spots on my skin too. – Shay Mitchell • My mother was very strong. Once, she picked up a coconut and smashed it against my father’s head. It taught me about women defending themselves and not collapsing in a heap. – Alice Walker • My wife is on a new diet. Coconuts and bananas. She hasn’t lost weight, but can she climb a tree. – Henny Youngman • Natural beauty products are a must! I use coconut oil-based RMS makeup, and I slather almond oil on my hands to soak while I watch a movie. – Phoebe Tonkin • Numerous studies have clearly demonstrated that coconut oil has a neutral effect on cholesterol levels. The reason coconut oil does not adversely affect cholesterol is because it is composed primarily of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA). These fatty acids are different from those commonly found in other food sources and are burned almost immediately for energy production, and so they are not converted into body fat or cholesterol to the degree other fats are and do not affect blood cholesterol levels. – Bruce Fife • Samuel Beckett’s ‘Waiting for Godot,’ billed as ‘the laugh sensation of two continents,’ made its American debut at the Coconut Grove Playhouse, in Miami, Florida, in 1956. My father, Bert Lahr, was playing Estragon, one of the two bowler-hatted tramps who pass the time in a lunar landscape as they wait in vain for the arrival of a Mr. Godot. – John Lahr • Skeletons of mice are often to be found in coconuts, for it is easier to get in, slim and greedy, than to get out, appeased but fat. – Viktor Korchnoi • Snooki is a bestselling author? Huh? What? I don’t know if I should dumb down my book, shoot myself or find a publisher who’ll settle for a rough draft written on a Pop-Tart and a coconut lotion handie. – Geoffrey Hill • sometimes you get run down. sometimes life throws dirt in your eyes and it stings and you can’t see for a few minutes. even after you get it out your eyes are all red and your vision is shitty… but eventually, whether through tears or maybe just time… you start to see even clearer than before. life is not always good. which is why music exists. why i believe God exists. and why there’s always a pint of coconut milk ice cream in my freezer. – Hayley Williams • The coconut trees, lithe and graceful, crowd the beach like a minuet of slender elderly virgins adopting flippant poses. – William Manchester • The cyclone ends. The sun returns; the lofty coconut trees lift up their plumes again; man does likewise. The great anguish is over; joy has returned; the sea smiles like a child. – Paul Gauguin • The only time I feel at ease is swinging up and down in a coconut tree. – Ray Davies • The single greatest invention man ever conceived in the dollar bill, because I don’t want to know the conversion rate for coconuts. – John Smith • The two basic items necessary to sustain life are sunshine and coconut milk. – Dustin Hoffman • There is no way to understand the public reaction to the sight of a Freak smashing a coconut with a hammer on the hood of a white Cadillac in a Safeway parking lot unless you actually do it, and I tell you it’s tense. – Hunter S. Thompson • There is one fat that diabetics can eat without fear. That fat is coconut oil. Not only does it not contribute to diabetes but it helps regulate blood sugar, thus lessening the effects of the disease – Bruce Fife • There’s lotion for your face, for your hands, for your feet, for your body. Why? What would happen if you put hand lotion on your feet? Would your feet get confused and start clapping? Each kind has something special in it – aloe, shea butter, coconut, cocoa butter, vanilla, lemon extract. That’s not lotion. That’s one ingredient short of a Bundt cake. – Ellen DeGeneres • Well in two months, it’d be sunbathing time. That made me smile. I enjoyed lying in the sun in a little bikini, timing myself carefully so I didn’t burn. I loved the smell of coconut oil. And I don’t want to hear any lectures about how bad tanning is for you. That’s my vice. Everybody gets one. – Charlaine Harris • What is meditation?… It is fleeing from the self, it is a short escape of the agony of being a self, it is a short numbing of the senses against the pain and the pointlessness of life. The same escape, the same short numbing is what the driver of an ox-cart finds in the inn, drinking a few bowls of rice wine or fermented coconut-milk. – Hermann Hesse • What kind of tea do you want?” “There´s more than one kind of tea?…What do you have?” “Let´s see… Blueberry, Raspberry, Ginseng, Sleepytime, Green Tea, Green Tea with Lemon, Green Tea with Lemon and Honey, Liver Disaster, Ginger with Honey, Ginger Without Honey, Vanilla Almond, White Truffle Coconut, Chamomile, Blueberry Chamomile, Decaf Vanilla Walnut, Constant Comment and Earl Grey.” -“I.. Uh…What are you having?… Did you make some of those up? – Bryan Lee O’Malley • When I lie on the beach there naked, which I do sometimes, and I feel the wind coming over me and I see the stars up above and I am looking into this very deep, indescribable night, it is something that escapes my vocabulary to describe. Then I think: ‘God, I have no importance. Whatever I do or don’t do, or what anybody does, is not more important than the grains of sand that I am lying on, or the coconut that I am using for my pillow.’ So I really don’t think in the long sense. – Marlon Brando • Yes, we could solve for why, but we could also eat another slice of coconut cake. – Sam Lipsyte • You plant twenty coconut trees over here, and twenty coconut trees over there, and you water this batch and don’t water that batch. Of the batch you water, nineteen will survive and one will die. Of the batch you don’t water, nineteen will die and one will survive. – Randall Robinson [clickbank-storefront-bestselling]

I’m touching it from all basis. The album aint banana’s, it’s coconuts. – E-40 • I knew he was unreliable, but he was fun to be with. He was a child’s ideal companion, full of surprises and happy animal energy. He enjoyed food and drink. He liked to try new things. He brought home coconuts, papayas, mangoes, and urged them on our reluctant conservative selves. On Sundays he liked to discover new places, take us on endless bus or trolley rides to some new park or beach he knew about. He always counseled daring, in whatever situation, the courage to test the unknown, an instruction that was thematically in opposition to my mother’s. – E. L. Doctorow • I love cakes. Chocolate and coconut cakes. I love that combination! – Adriana Lima • I love KIND bars. My favorites are coconut and almond and the dark chocolate and sea salt because staying fueled helps keep me from getting sick or injured. Bananas have also made a great comeback in my life. My kids eat them all the time on the go, which has inspired my go-to pre-run morning meal of peanut butter and banana on toast. – Summer Sanders • I love making Italian food. And coconut chicken. – Joe Jonas • I think I was a mermaid and I used to swim the shores or Hawaii and used to pop up and see coconuts and pineapples everywhere. – Ella Henderson • I think that the heart is a lot like those wonderful fruit, like coconut and mangoes, you know, you have to break the skin, you have to break it open to get to the good part. – Saul Williams • I try not to overeat (which is my biggest problem), and I find that when I’m eating quality foods from good sources, I don’t need to overeat to feel satisfied. I cook with healthy oils (olive, coconut) and stay away as much as possible from overly processed foods. When I do indulge, I enjoy it. For that moment. And then I balance it with exercise. – Adam Rodriguez • I try to eat healthy all the time. I don’t eat takeaways. I drink mostly water or coconut water. – Conor McGregor • I try to get seven to eight hours of sleep. Wash my hands a lot, take a few supplements, like omega-3 and vitamin D. When I feel a cold coming on, I pop some zinc. I do my best to eat a low-sodium, high-fiber diet. I drink mostly water or coconut water. I don’t smoke, no drugs, and drink red wine occasionally. – Andrea Navedo • I was at a speaking engagement for MIT… and I said, ‘The Professor has all sorts of degrees, including one from this very institution [MIT]! And that’s why I can make a radio out of a coconut, and not fix a hole in a boat!’ – Russell Johnson • I was in Cancun, Mexico, sitting in a disappearing-edge swimming pool, on a bar stool that was actually under the water, watching palm trees sway in a sultry breeze against the unmistakable aqua splendor of the Caribbean Sea; drinking coconut, lime, and tequila from a scooped-out pineapple, with salt spray of breaking surf and sun kissing my skin. Translation: I’d died and gone to heaven. – Karen Marie Moning • I was sometimes called ‘coconut’ when I was at school. – David Oyelowo • I will not go a day without coconut oil. I personally take four tablespoons per day, either on my salads, in my cooking or in my cups of green tea. – Miranda Kerr • I wish I could tell you about the South Pacific. The way it actually was. The endless ocean. The infinite specks of coral we called islands. Coconut palms nodding gracefully toward the ocean. Reefs upon which waves broke into spray, and inner lagoons, lovely beyond description. I wish I could tell you about the sweating jungle, the full moon rising behind the volcanoes, and the waiting. The waiting. The timeless, repetitive waiting. – James A. Michener • I would like magical palm tree that had a lot of shade with instead of coconuts there’s just peanut butter jelly sandwiches with cheetos underneath. And my wife that is always happy and possibly naked. – Channing Tatum • If you live on an atoll and you get a warning by radio that a big wave is coming and everyone is told to move to higher ground, where are you supposed to go on these islands? There is none. The highest ground is four-meters (around 13 feet) above sea level, meaning you’d be safer in a coconut tree. How, though, are you supposed to get your grandfather, grandmother and grandchildren up there? – Enele Sopoaga • If you take 12 waters from the coconut – not the ones you buy in the store, although that’s good – but the fresh coconuts, the little brown ones with the three eyes, if you take 12 of those within 24 hours, your blood will go back to the way it was when you were born. – Dick Gregory • I’ll admit that I do quite like drinks that come in coconut shells. So there’s always that. – Danica McKellar • I’m all about having one day during the week when I have an at-home spa day. That’s when I like to do my nails and moisturize, or do a coconut oil hair masque and clear out my blackheads with pore strips. That’s one of my favorite things. – Shay Mitchell • Im at a slightly higher risk for type 2 diabetes, and my grandmother had diabetes. My hemoglobin a1c, which is one of the measures, started being a little high when I was drinking a ton of that coconut water. – Anne Wojcicki • I’m just taking care of myself: Eating less, exercising more, drinking a lot of coconut water. – Jennie Garth • In the first weeks I had occasionally worn clothes in the morning before the sun began its ascent, but very soon I abandoned this habit, and the only bit of material I ever wore was the strip of sari cloth around my hips, which was so useful for making into a bag to collect coconuts on walks. – Lucy Irvine • In the garden of gentle sanity, May you be bombarded by coconuts of wakefulness. – Chogyam Trungpa • It is almost as if happiness is an acquired taste, like coconut cordial or ceviche, to which you can eventually become accustomed, but despair is something surprising each time you encounter it. – Daniel Handler • It never takes longer than a few minutes, when they get together, for everyone to revert to the state of nature, like a party marooned by a shipwreck. That’s what a family is. Also the storm at sea, the ship, and the unknown shore. And the hats and the whiskey stills that you make out of bamboo and coconuts. And the fire that you light to keep away the beasts. – Michael Chabon • It was incredibly cheesy set with torches [TV’s Survivor] – it looked like the lobby of the Enchanted Tiki Room at Disneyland. And here as some guy pulling names out of a coconut, and I said, ‘This is the thing that has made American mass media stop in their tracks? – Tom Hanks • I’ve been doing this new ritual where the first thing I do in the morning is put a tablespoon of coconut oil in my mouth and swish it around. Then I put Kora Organics Rosehip Oil all over my body, which is incredible for your skin, and have a freezing-cold shower, all while I’m swishing the coconut oil in my mouth. It’s a way to get the circulation going and to make you feel reenergized and refreshed. – Miranda Kerr • Jemu watched his father disappear. He didn’t throw the coconut and he didn’t cry. Never again would he know love for another human being that wasn’t adulterated by another, contradictory emotion. – Kiran Desai • Love is also like a coconut which is good while it is fresh, but you have to spit it out when the juice is gone, what’s left tastes bitter. – Bertolt Brecht • My favorite food is macaroni and cheese that my grandma makes. My favorite drink has to be Vita Coco coconut water. – Sloane Stephens • My fridge is really just vegan: coconut water, Gatorade (my favorite!), cucumbers, mint, kale, vegetables, ginger, and wheat grass. – Serena Williams • My friend has hand soap that smells like coconut. It’s nice. Unless your hands are dirty from coconuts. – Demetri Martin • My mom grew up in the Philippines, and she would use coconut oil. I put that in my hair always – literally, natural coconut oil that you use for cooking. I use that for my cuticles and dry spots on my skin too. – Shay Mitchell • My mother was very strong. Once, she picked up a coconut and smashed it against my father’s head. It taught me about women defending themselves and not collapsing in a heap. – Alice Walker • My wife is on a new diet. Coconuts and bananas. She hasn’t lost weight, but can she climb a tree. – Henny Youngman • Natural beauty products are a must! I use coconut oil-based RMS makeup, and I slather almond oil on my hands to soak while I watch a movie. – Phoebe Tonkin • Numerous studies have clearly demonstrated that coconut oil has a neutral effect on cholesterol levels. The reason coconut oil does not adversely affect cholesterol is because it is composed primarily of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA). These fatty acids are different from those commonly found in other food sources and are burned almost immediately for energy production, and so they are not converted into body fat or cholesterol to the degree other fats are and do not affect blood cholesterol levels. – Bruce Fife • Samuel Beckett’s ‘Waiting for Godot,’ billed as ‘the laugh sensation of two continents,’ made its American debut at the Coconut Grove Playhouse, in Miami, Florida, in 1956. My father, Bert Lahr, was playing Estragon, one of the two bowler-hatted tramps who pass the time in a lunar landscape as they wait in vain for the arrival of a Mr. Godot. – John Lahr • Skeletons of mice are often to be found in coconuts, for it is easier to get in, slim and greedy, than to get out, appeased but fat. – Viktor Korchnoi • Snooki is a bestselling author? Huh? What? I don’t know if I should dumb down my book, shoot myself or find a publisher who’ll settle for a rough draft written on a Pop-Tart and a coconut lotion handie. – Geoffrey Hill • sometimes you get run down. sometimes life throws dirt in your eyes and it stings and you can’t see for a few minutes. even after you get it out your eyes are all red and your vision is shitty… but eventually, whether through tears or maybe just time… you start to see even clearer than before. life is not always good. which is why music exists. why i believe God exists. and why there’s always a pint of coconut milk ice cream in my freezer. – Hayley Williams • The coconut trees, lithe and graceful, crowd the beach like a minuet of slender elderly virgins adopting flippant poses. – William Manchester • The cyclone ends. The sun returns; the lofty coconut trees lift up their plumes again; man does likewise. The great anguish is over; joy has returned; the sea smiles like a child. – Paul Gauguin • The only time I feel at ease is swinging up and down in a coconut tree. – Ray Davies • The single greatest invention man ever conceived in the dollar bill, because I don’t want to know the conversion rate for coconuts. – John Smith • The two basic items necessary to sustain life are sunshine and coconut milk. – Dustin Hoffman • There is no way to understand the public reaction to the sight of a Freak smashing a coconut with a hammer on the hood of a white Cadillac in a Safeway parking lot unless you actually do it, and I tell you it’s tense. – Hunter S. Thompson • There is one fat that diabetics can eat without fear. That fat is coconut oil. Not only does it not contribute to diabetes but it helps regulate blood sugar, thus lessening the effects of the disease – Bruce Fife • There’s lotion for your face, for your hands, for your feet, for your body. Why? What would happen if you put hand lotion on your feet? Would your feet get confused and start clapping? Each kind has something special in it – aloe, shea butter, coconut, cocoa butter, vanilla, lemon extract. That’s not lotion. That’s one ingredient short of a Bundt cake. – Ellen DeGeneres • Well in two months, it’d be sunbathing time. That made me smile. I enjoyed lying in the sun in a little bikini, timing myself carefully so I didn’t burn. I loved the smell of coconut oil. And I don’t want to hear any lectures about how bad tanning is for you. That’s my vice. Everybody gets one. – Charlaine Harris • What is meditation?… It is fleeing from the self, it is a short escape of the agony of being a self, it is a short numbing of the senses against the pain and the pointlessness of life. The same escape, the same short numbing is what the driver of an ox-cart finds in the inn, drinking a few bowls of rice wine or fermented coconut-milk. – Hermann Hesse • What kind of tea do you want?” “There´s more than one kind of tea?…What do you have?” “Let´s see… Blueberry, Raspberry, Ginseng, Sleepytime, Green Tea, Green Tea with Lemon, Green Tea with Lemon and Honey, Liver Disaster, Ginger with Honey, Ginger Without Honey, Vanilla Almond, White Truffle Coconut, Chamomile, Blueberry Chamomile, Decaf Vanilla Walnut, Constant Comment and Earl Grey.” -“I.. Uh…What are you having?… Did you make some of those up? – Bryan Lee O’Malley • When I lie on the beach there naked, which I do sometimes, and I feel the wind coming over me and I see the stars up above and I am looking into this very deep, indescribable night, it is something that escapes my vocabulary to describe. Then I think: ‘God, I have no importance. Whatever I do or don’t do, or what anybody does, is not more important than the grains of sand that I am lying on, or the coconut that I am using for my pillow.’ So I really don’t think in the long sense. – Marlon Brando • Yes, we could solve for why, but we could also eat another slice of coconut cake. – Sam Lipsyte • You plant twenty coconut trees over here, and twenty coconut trees over there, and you water this batch and don’t water that batch. Of the batch you water, nineteen will survive and one will die. Of the batch you don’t water, nineteen will die and one will survive. – Randall Robinson [clickbank-storefront-bestselling]

Note

Fluff Week: South and CT go on shore leave, and South has to convince CT not to break into places just to prove she can.

So I wrote a fic? For the first time in a while. Yeah.

Let’s Go Sunning

South/CT, onesided north/york ment., alcohol ment.

“I already told you, we can't get arrested on shore leave,” South said, slurping her soda, the gulls cawing overhead. The soft sound of sea on sand was weirdly comforting, even as their free day came to an end. The planet was supposed to be a relaxation center and tourist destination, but it was close to the edge of the galaxy, near the war, and so appeared half abandoned. South gestured around the dock area with her free hand, “All of these rickety buildings don't even pose any sort of challenge to your ONII ass.”

“You don't know that I have an ONII ass,” CT said, primly. She was balanced on the guard fence between the dock and the sea, tightrope walking on the rusted railing. South idly wondered if CT had done gymnastics in high school. They were in casual clothing, outside of uniforms, out of underarmor, and out of armor for the first time in what felt like months. Connie was basically wearing a yoga outfit, with long pants despite the salt water and the heavy sun. South, in board shorts, thought long pants seemed sticky, “Anyway, it’s always good to get back to basics. All these beach houses are owned by rich people anyway.”

“Hell yeah, eat the rich,” South said, snarkily, less anti-establishment and more stuck between wanting to egg Connie on and not wanting to get arrested. “But if we break into one of those houses and get caught my brother will be disappointed in me with a capital D and I’ll never be able to live it down.”

Her brother was probably getting drunk with York in some dive bar right at that moment, and South was hoping to keep the moral high ground long enough to lord it over his hungover ass on the ship the next day. Nobody on the ship knew how to relax properly, but drinking was the easiest way for them, and being a dick was the easiest way for her. But, she thought, glancing at Connie, what was happening right then came pretty close.

Connie perched on the warm metal, and sat on her heels, trying to get down to South’s eye level, “Since when,” she said, softly, “Have you given a shit what North thinks.”

“Since I’ve been trapped on a ship with him for like, literally months at a time. It’s super annoying, I have shit to do, and besides-- with the leaderboard? I don’t want North to narc on me to get an advantage.”

CT stood up abruptly, and continued to pace down the dock’s railing. South observed her, silhouetted by warm sunlight, a shadow against the bright sky and sea, and the pink sand below. It was… it was good. Far away from the war, from the conflict, and far away from the competition on the Mother of Invention. It felt like a time South couldn’t really even remember. Connie caught her watching and grinned.

“I could steal from that big mansion.”

“Ceet--” South was still testing nicknames.

“It’d be easy, we’d just need to get a bone to distract any dogs and--”

“Holy shit, Con.”

“I’m just saying. They bought all this property and they’re not using it because they have big safe houses far away from the front, while gutter kids in slums across the galaxy share sixteen to a room to shelter from big hulking aliens,” CT muttered, “Fair isn’t fair.”

“Doesn’t mean you can break in. There’ll be nothing of value in there anyway,” South snorted, “Rich people don’t abandon their stuff in summer homes. Why’d you want to do it anyway?”

“To test my abilities.”

“Uh huh.”

“You ever think it’s weird,” CT said, “That we’re not on the direct front like, half the time?”

“We’re using experimental tech, C, it’s not that deep.”

CT sighed, “Okay, but Director Church is a civilian, with no military experience. I think the highest ranking military person on the ship is Carolina, and she’s not gonna steer the course. Everyone’s doing a good job of being steered.”

South frowned at her, scuffing the boardwalk with her feet, “How come--”

CT hopped off the railing, and glanced over at South, square eyebrows folding up into a concerned look, and South felt her face flush. “You ever wonder if-- if maybe we’re the bad guys?” CT said, softly

At this, South snorted, her blush rapidly fading; “It's war, Ceet, we’re all the bad guys.”

Connie sighed, scanning the different stores at the dock, “You want to grab some snacks before we have to head back?”

“I’d kill for some beach donuts right now.”

“What’s the difference between regular donuts and beach donuts?”

“Beach donuts are better because they’re donuts that you eat at the beach.”

CT checked the data pad on her wrist, “There’s a Donut Champion around here, somewhere,” She said, jumping off the rail expertly and landing daintily on the dock, “They have good apple fritters.”

South nudged CT with her elbow, “I thought you were all anti-corporate, anti-establishment superspy.”

“I’ll betray my ideals for apple fritters.”

The Donut Champion was closed. “Dammit,” South said, “Guess I can’t get you to betray your ideals after all.”

Connie grinned, “No, in fact-- I can fulfill my ideals even better. You reckon there’s still dough in there?”

“I reckon that the day a Donut Champion uses dough instead of reconstituted fryable matter is the day it becomes a Gourmand Michelin star restaurant and not a place you accidentally show up at when it’s three in the morning.”

Connie wedged into the alleyway and gestured back at South to follow her. South did, reticently. “We can just go in, make some donuts, and leave. We can even pay,” CT said, “If you’re feeling like a goodie-goodie.”

“Unless you have a 3d lockpick in those tightass pants--”

“These guys don’t have, like, actual security. It’s like 21st century stuff. I could disarm these alarms with my eyes closed.”

“This is a bad idea,” South said, but did nothing to stop her. CT grinned up at her, mischievous grin peeking out from behind her undercut.

“This is a great idea,” CT said, tugging on a wire.

The alarm went off.

“Okay, not a great idea, turns out I don’t know how old timey alarms work,” CT said, “But I can fix this--”

South picked her up, hoisting her over one shoulder, and took off, sprinting away from the alarm, “We-- aren’t-- getting-- arrested--- today!” She said, jostling CT onto her shoulder as she ran. There didn’t seem to be any cops showing up or anything-- the dock was empty of people, but South still waited until she was back at the shuttle port before putting CT down. They stared at each other before South broke into pealing laughter.

“I could have fixed it,” Connie said, grinning, “Trust me.”

“I do,” South lied, a little, “I just didn’t think it’d be worth getting arrested over some donuts.”

“Not just donuts,” Connie reminded her, “Beach donuts.”

South opened her mouth to respond, but she received a distracting text message from her brother. The text message said “jsfduuff didn’t wiener.”

“I gotta go,” South said, frowning. She looked back up at Connie, not wanting the day to end, wanting to keep hanging out and having it be comfortable and easy.

“Thanks for showing me the docks,” Connie said, her hands behind her back, “I had a great time.”

South’s stomach twisted as the scene increasingly felt like the end of a date she hadn’t known she was having. “I’ll, um,” she said, “I’ll see you later.”

“Wyoming’s strong, man,” North said, “Powerful.”

“Uh huh,” South said, shifting back under North’s shoulder, “Is this back on your Tom Selleck thing?”

“Nuh,” North said, “It’s a-- he said, ‘oh, you’re Russian, you can drink so good,’ and then said, if I could, he’d pay, but he didn’t, I did, very irresponsible.”

South rolled her eyes, “Was York there?”

“Mm.”

“One day, bro, you will not do this to yourself,” South said, leading him back into the shuttle and strapping him in. Carolina, Wash, and Maine were already there. They’d elected to do something educational or someshit, which apparently meant the aquarium, because none of them knew how to relax or let their guards down. South sighed, not looking forward to being stuck in metal and mud and blood for the next few months, already missing the smell of the sea. She turned from the shuttle, and walked back down the ramp to catch the sunset and a last few breaths of briny air.

Connie was waiting at the bottom of the ramp. With donuts.

The spaceport had an overlook, from which you could see the entirety of the little tourist town in the middle of Bumfuck nowhere, the galaxy. There was a chance that someday soon the whole planet would be glassed, and only Connie and South would remember this view. South sat, dangling her boots off the edge of the look, and Connie slumped beside her. Connie handed her a donut, which South bit into. It tasted warm from the fryer, slightly too crunchy with sand.

“I’m surprised to see that Donut Champion is still standing.”

“Come on, I just broke in, I didn’t burn it down.”

“These are good,” South said, smiling over at Connie. The sun was setting, bathing the scene in a warm glow. South wondered if the sunrise would come red.

Connie tucked her hair behind an ear, “Thanks,” she said, “I made them myself.”

“You’re a force of Chaos, Constance,” South said, taking a bite of one of the decently prepared apple fritters.

“I try, Deep South,” Connie responded.

South snorted, “I should have known better than to try and stop you from doing anything.”

“Probably.”

They sat together a while, legs swinging off the edge. The ocean beat rhythmically against the rocks below, gulls cried. The town below seemed dead but for the birds. The air was thick with something coming, something different, something empty. But for now it was warm, and the donuts were sticky, and the sun was bright.

South’s boot jostled against Connie’s calf, and Connie grinned.

Her lips were dusted with sugar.
