The language part (ie the Main Actual Game) of Chants of Sennaar is very fun don't get me wrong - figuring out when a radical means person, or signifies a verb, etc etc - but the number system is absolutely fascinating

Yuri Petrov ユーリ・ペトロフ

(市内こども新聞内のコーナー「働く人たち」より抜粋）

Excerpt from the column "Working People" from the children's newspaper in the city

質問①裁判官・兼・ヒーロー管理官ってどういうお仕事なんですか？

Question 1. What kind of job is a Hero Administrator?

はじめまして。ユーリ・ペトロフと申します。私の職業を聞いても、理解出来ない子供たちも多くいることでしょう。裁判官とは、司法権を行使し裁判を行うのがお仕事です。もうひとつのヒーロー管理官とは、文字通り、ヒーローの管理をするお仕事になります。具体的には、事件や事故の現場から出動要請を受け、本当にヒーローの出動が必要かどうかを見極めたり、ヒーローが出動した際に起こした諸問題に対処したり、ヒーローに関する様々な決定を下しています。私が、間違った判断を下したり、判断するタイミングが遅れてしまうと、事件や災害の被害はどんどん大きくなり、被害者も増えていくので、実に重要な役目だと思っています。

Nice to meet you. My name is Yuri Petrov. Even if you ask me about my profession, there will be many children who won't understand. A judge's job is to exercise judicial power by holding a trial. And the Hero Administrator is literally the job of managing heroes. Specifically, we receive a dispatch request from the scene of the incident or accident, and determine whether a hero really needs to be sent, deal with various problems caused when the hero is dispatched, and make decisions about the hero. If I make a wrong decision or if the timing of the decision is delayed, the damage of incidents and disasters will increase more and more, as well as the number of victims, so I think it is a very important role.

質問②僕もヒーロー管理官になりたいのですがどうしたらなれますか？

Question 2. I also want to be a Hero Administrator, how do I become one?

司法局に勤める人間にしか与えられない職務ですので、まずは司法局に入局してください。その為には、司法試験に合格し裁判官になる資格を得なくてはなりません。その為には、学校の���強を頑張ることが一番の近道ではないでしょうか。

It is a job that can only be given to people who work in the Justice Bureau, so you would need to join the Justice Bureau first. In order to do that, you have to pass the bar exam and be qualified to become a judge. And in order to do that, isn't the best way to work hard at school?

質問③ヒーローと仲良しなんですか？

Question 3. Are you friends with the heroes?

仲良しではありません。個人的な連絡先の交換等、立場上禁止されていますので、プライヴェートでの交際も一切ありません。

No, we're not friends. It is prohibited due to the exchange of personal contact information, so we have no private relationships at all.

質問④誰と仲がいいんですか？

Question 4. Who are you close with?

ですから、誰とも仲良しではありません。個人的な感情を持つことは、一瞬の判断を誤らせることに繋がりかねませんので。

Consequently, I'm not good friends with anyone. Having personal feelings can lead to a momentary lapse in judgement.

質問⑤お仕事をする時に一番大切なことは何ですか？

Question 5. What is the most important thing needed to do your job?

このお仕事に必要なことは、冷静な判断力と瞬時の決断力です。

What you need for this job is calm judgement and split second decisiveness.

質問⑥お仕事のために努力していることはありますか？

Question 6. Is there anything that gives you an advantage to work harder?

難しい質問ですね。あえて何かをあげるとするならば、一瞬の判断を誤らない為に、コーヒーにたっぷりとシロップを入れることです。こうすることで頭の回転が良くなり、正しい判断がくだせるのではないかと。ブドウ糖を摂取することで脳が活性化することは、科学的に証明されています。糖といっても色々な種類がありますが、脳のエネルギー源になるのは、ブドウ糖以外にありません。因みに、ブドウ糖は決してブドウの形をしている訳ではありません。たまに勘違いされる方もおられますが、ブドウ球菌という菌は顕微鏡で見ると萄の房みたいな固まりになっているだけです。お間違い無く。

That's a difficult question. If you dare try something, put plenty of syrup in your coffee so as not to make a mistake in momentary decisions. By doing this, you will be able to improve your thinking and make the right judgement calls. It has been scientifically proven that the brain is activated by ingesting glucose. There are various types of sugar, but there is no other source of energy for the brain other than glucose. By the way, sources of glucose like grape sugar are never in the shape of a grape.

Without a doubt, sometimes people misunderstand because the bacteria called staphylococcus is a mass like a bunch of grapes when viewed under a microscope.

(TN: I added the mention of grape sugar because the actual word used is ブドウ糖 which can translate to grape sugar or glucose. It's clear it's a pun on words because staphylococcus is written as ブドウ球菌, with ブドウ (grape) being the commonality. So even though Yuri is educating the kids on glucose, I added grape syrup to keep the pun intact, even though they are the same word).

質問⑦お仕事がんばってください。

Question 7. Good luck with your work.

質問ではないのですね。ありがとう。精一杯力を尽くします、市民の平和の為に

This is not a question, is it? Thank you. I will do my best, for the peace of the citizens.

・・・・・そして、正義のために・・・・・。

And for justice.

From Hero TV Fan Vol. 1 Episode 13, this little blurb:

Check!! 見つめる者

Check!! A staring person

ユーリ（ルナティック）にとってヒーローたちの正義感は相容れないもの。

しかし、ウロボロスのような外道の行いはそれ以上に許しがたいもの。だからこそ、ヒーローたちがこのように苦戦していることに納得が行かず、忌々しい表情で戦いの様子を見ている

For Yuri (Lunatic), the heroes' sense of justice is incompatible with his own.

However, the behaviour of outsiders like Ouroboros is even more unforgivable. This is why he's not convinced that the heroes are struggling like this, and watches the battle with an annoyed expression (on his face).

like truly two of the wildest viren-callum parallels are still, to this day

1) Viren’s re-birthday being Callum’s literal birthday because the story is just that insane about this foils bond

2) Viren and Callum both asking someone (Soren in 1x06, Rayla in 4x07) who’s sworn to protect the proposed target to kill Callum to keep things from tipping the wrong way

you ever think about how pretty much the only reason we use base10 is because we have 10 fingers and if everyone had 6 fingers on each hand we'd use base12 and never even think a thing of it and also math would be pretty much better in every way?

ROUND 1

QUARTER 3 - FIGHT #8

TWO TEAMS ENTER. ONLY ONE CAN LEAVE.

YOU DECIDE.

(Please reblog for a larger sample size, or to spread your team's propaganda)

[johnmarstonisawolf]

Chapter title: Fado

Chapter summary: In this chapter, John is bedridden and reflecting on his past. He thinks about his relationship with Abigail and the gang, particularly his dynamic with Dutch and Arthur.

Summary: John Marston thought he knew everything, but when he starts seeing an older Jack in his dreams, he realizes that maybe he knows nothing.

Even before he had a run-in with the wolves in Colter, John Marston grew up knowing death was always near. So what happens when after his fight with the wolves in the mountains, he starts seeing things—an older Jack and a familiar strange man—who keep telling him cryptic things about the fate of the gang? Telling him that if things don’t change… then maybe he isn’t the only one who is doomed.
