Being boosted up the wall was easy, Lokni seemed far stronger than they were, and with the help of the interlocked arms, they were able to stretch much further than if they'd tried to climb it on their own. They managed to hoist themself up to their belly, and then pull themself over the ledge completely, their dangling legs disappearing. They peeked further down the corridor for a moment, before turning and trying to secure a position that would make it easy to lever Lokni's weight.

There of course was a chance that it would fail, but they didn't want to think about that right now, so they focussed on their own breathing and the sound of muscle working, their hands fused together for a moment as Baskar pulled and Lokni reached.

Raised religious but never one to practice, Baskar almost wanted to reach for the tiny cross that hung from their neck, when some sound down the corridor snapped them to attention. Instead of turning however, they helped Lokni further up, their heart starting to race as their mind conjured up apparitions that weren't there.

"Alright," Baskar whispered, their eyes following where Lokni pointed too, which was also the direction of the sound.

If it was ghosts, they wouldn't be alone.

If it was ghosts, they wouldn't be alone.

If it was...

"It uhm... it depends," Baskar whispered still, their voice small. "So... uhm... coms on boats have these uhm... area codes," they tried to explain. "Depending on where in the world you are sailing. But... generally... they can be as small as a walkie-talkie or as big as a server." They recalled the walkie-talkies having been fascinating, with their range. But that was at school, years ago.

They started to make their way towards the bridge as they spoke, hoping to chase away the ghosts. Their skin crawling.

If it was ghosts, they wouldn't be alone.

They repeated their mantra.

"I'm just hoping that they'll have an emergency radio there, it will most likely be in a case, like a suitcase, heavy but not too heavy to cary." Their mind conjured up the different communication devices they'd seen. Sensors and communication devices were important to robotics, information had to be received, but in a way that it would allow for some freedom.

"We're looking for some kind of symbol, like a telephone or an emergency sign. But... it might not be there, if there was ever a crew, they would've probably taken it."

If there had ever been a crew, and if they'd ever made it off of the ship alive.

Lokni watched as Baskar seemed to ponder his question for some time. If Baskar thought that he could do it, why not at least try? "Alright, let's give this a go," Lokni replied, interlocking his hands together, preparing to give Baskar a leg up. He'd done this thousands of times back at the ranch, helping people up on tall horses or climbing up to the hayloft, a second nature motion. Baskar stepped into Lokni's interlocked hands, and with that, Lokni was able to boost Baskar up the wall. A couple moments of scrambling and shuffling passed before Baskar was reaching down to give Lokni an arm up. Taking a deep breath, Lokni grasped their hand firmly as Baskar began to tug him up, Lokni's boots scuffing against the metal wall where the ladder had once been. By the grace of the Creator, Lokni managed to get high enough to grip the edge of the wall with his free hand, releasing Baskar's grip and with all his strength just barely managing to pull himself up and over the edge. Rolling over onto his back, Lokni took a couple seconds to breathe, filling his lungs with delicious, fresh air. Still gasping for air on his back, Lokni pointed in the direction of the door that led to the bridge. "It's just over there" he panted, "just let me catch my breath." After a couple moments, Lokni got to his feet, wiping his forehead with the back of his hand. "So what does this COMMs thing look like again?" Lokni asked, genuinely curious about what they were looking for.

Daredevil Sims 4 Apartment Stream + The Red Thread interview tomorrow

So to celebrate Daredevil: Born Again and the new Sims 4 expansion pack, as mentioned on a poll I did here a few weeks ago, my gamer/streamer friend @nightviper wanted to do a livestream with me tomorrow! During the livestream she'll show off a neat build of Matt Murdock's apartment for anyone that wants inspo for Sims 4, and during the stream we'll be talking about Daredevil, including both the show (OG Netflix and Born Again, although I'll avoid spoilers) and The Red Thread as a fic, since it has now crossed ONE MILLION WORDS IN LENGTH. You'll also be able to ask us questions, whether that's about how to build Matt's place in Sims 4 or about something Daredevil or Red Thread related!

Hilariously, Matt and Jane will also be in the apartment since someone made sims of them!

So tomorrow at 5PM EST, feel free to pop over to my friend's youtube channel and hang with us!

Saw a tweet that said Langdon will be under a kind of scrutiny in season 2 for what will probably be the first time in his life. As a white (presumably) straight man, a doctor, married with two kids in a perfect nuclear family, clearly one of the more popular residents at the start of the season. He doesn't appear to have ever been in an unprivileged position before, until it's discovered he has an addiction. Versus now suddenly having to adjust to going through life with people having an existing prejudice against him as an addict. And I can't stop thinking about that because it will genuinely be so interesting to see. I believe the showrunners said that S2 will be Langdon's first shift back, and it'll be so damn interesting to see him needing to adjust to no longer automatically being trusted, to being watched more closely than ever before, have his judgement or skill questioned in ways he's not exactly used to. When a lot of the people around him, as women and/or people of color and/or neurodivergent people or poor and homeless people, have had to get used to at a way earlier point in their life. (And to which he certainly has at points contributed!)

And I'm just so genuinely excited to see how that might play out. I wouldn't be surprised if, at first, having to realise that makes him push back harder; people do often try to cling to the privilege they have/had when faced with a loss of it in another area. I think it'd be odd if this happened overnight. But seeing that shift gradually, letting him come to that realisation and adjust to a new way of being treated, recognise some things about his own treatment of people? It would be so interesting.

Right now, wine glass in hand and staring vacantly into the dark corners of the room in which he dwells - Barok can't help but think about his brother. To think about Klint during hard times, the man who he's always admired so much, has always come naturally to him - but it can't bring him any comfort now.

The truth is, Barok doesn't know what he should feel more betrayed about. The fact that the brother he'd wanted to emulate all his life was nothing but a killer, who's actions resulted in the ending and ruining of so many lives, including Barok's own? Or... is it that, until the very end, Klint was too afraid to share that horrible truth with him, even when that fear allowed him to be controlled into committing the most heinous acts imaginable?

It makes him want to laugh with a bitterness he hasn't felt in years. It makes him feel ill; desperate and angry and like a fraying rope about to snap. Perhaps it's sinful, and a sign of Barok's own weak character, that Klint's lack of trust in him might be what hurts the most. Had he thought Barok would break under the weight of the truth, and sought to protect him from that fate? What's worse is that Barok doesn't know how he would've reacted deep down. What's the scarier thought - that Barok would've turned away in despair and been unable to carry on just as his brother feared, or that he would stand with Klint, perhaps even turning a blind eye to his crimes...?

...There's no point in thinking about it now. But if he doesn't think about Klint, then there's no shortage of other things to take his place at the forefront of his mind. Such as the true identity of the Reaper, and how Barok had been complicit in his crimes for the longest time - allowing himself to be used and manipulated like a puppet on a string, even when he didn't see the full extent of it all.

His whole life, these past ten years in which he thought he'd endured so much, all for the sake of the people of London... what were they all for?

When he hears the knock on the door, it's tempting to ignore it entirely - he barely has the energy to stand, anyway. He doesn't know who it could possibly be, considering everything, but... in the end, he rises like a man possessed, and finds himself walking to open the door as if in a trance. What he sees when the door opens is the last thing he expects.

"Mr... Naruhodo...? You... pray tell, what are you doing here at this hour?"

Not caught up on TRT, so not sure if this has already happened. But are you planning to add more Dom Jane at any point? 😊 Same for heavily dom Matt/devil.

I AM! They'll both continue to have their Dom moments in between moments where no one's particularly in charge. I see them both as switches so we all get to have some fun, no matter if you like Dom!Matt or Sub!Matt, and same with Jane. 😂

Our next scheduled smut chapter(s) is, in fact, a wild Dom!Matt versus brat mode Sub!Jane. He's absolutely unhinged and feral and she's feeling not particularly agreeable as a sub and therefore she may or may not use the phrase, "Why don't you come over here and fucking make me."

Which goes exactly the way you'd expect, that woman's gonna need to be carried home in a gd bucket.

Did i mention they are on a rooftop

I'm hoping taking an extended break from Limbus (aside from dailies and weeklies, of course), helps me return to it with passion, again ... make no mistake, I am thinking about the game and characters nonstop--even when engaged in other activities--I've just been having trouble posting about it due to a myriad of things.

It's strange to think how only weeks ago, Maria could never have imagined the depths of despair she would soon sink into, or the future waiting for her. It feels like those times - the times when her family was whole - were years ago, now; yet she remembers them perfectly, and those crystal-clear memories now only serve to torment her, leaving her shaking under the weight of the pain they bring.

Perhaps she's being melodramatic. But she feels she's earned the right to be, just a little. Her mother, who she may never she again, is a vampire - cursed to be hated and rejected by all, having become the thing she hated the most - a monster. She'll never walk in the sunlight again. And that fate was supposed to be Maria's... that's what hurts the most. The fact that she's desperate to escape but can never run away from, so agonizing it's unbearable - is that in the end, it's all her fault.

And her father's.

Maria feels her stomach lurch at the thought of him. Grinds her teeth together. It's not like she isn't trying to move forward, like she's sure her mother wanted for her - Richter, too... but it's hard, harder than anything she's ever known. She feels useless, too, which is a feeling she hates more than anything. Seeing Richter, though... while it doesn't exactly ease the weight in her chest, his presence reminds her that she hasn't lost everything, that there are still some things worth fighting for in this world. And she's grateful for that, at the very least.

"You're giving me that look again." she says, once she notices him staring. She's not the person she used to be, and it's no surprise that he can see that, but she feels so exposed and ashamed under his gaze. There's no judgement there, though. She can't see any, anyway.

"Are you worried about me? You don't need to be." The bitterness that colored her words before is gone now, because Richter doesn't deserve that directed at him. "I know you're thinking of leaving, but... I'm not completely useless on my own."
