#Aria: 005

[lincoln-riley]

WHERE: Two Kings Casino WITH: @ariana-cruz

Lincoln was already exhausted and the night had only just begun, but he tried not to show it as he wove through the crowd, stopping and speaking when he had to– which was far more often than he wanted to. There was really only one person he wanted to talk to and once he spotted her, Link made a beeline right for her. “Aria– hey,” he called out, coming to a stop beside her, “Sorry I keep disappearing on you.” Sighing, he gestured around at the party, “Duty calls.” Shoving the thought aside, he grinned down at her, dark eyes shamelessly giving her yet another once over, “Have I told you how beautiful you look tonight?” And every night, just for the record– but the way the two of them wore their matching gold tonight made a statement, the kind that had his heart fluttering in his chest.

Excitement. She's felt nothing but excitement since Aria asked her to a ball. She's spent more time on a dress and on makeup (and covering these damned marks that create voids in her memory) despite the mask she's picked out; more than she's spent in a long time; because after the bookstore, after the music festival, after Aria's apartment, where she'd given her the out and she hadn't taken it, and they'd fallen asleep together? She feels something she hasn't felt in a long time - what to call it she doesn't know, but she feels appreciated in a way not even her handful of friends make her feel, and she feels a unique kind of lonesome whenever she isn't around Aria, which is more often than she'd like. She'd expected Aria to pick her up, but it had been Laure sending a car for her early instead; and by the time she arrives; its like she's been primed for something. Enjoy yourself. Don't make a scene no matter what you see. Be ready when called. She feels like that should unnerve her, but there's a familiarity to the feeling the compels her to internalize those words as if they were as natural as her understanding of gravity. Laure is intimidating but in her own way, fascinating. She is here for Aria though; and so she moves through unfamiliar faces, some of them tracking her and making her feel stalked, like a mouse under the gaze of a parliament of owls. And when Aria emerges from wherever she's been off to, Autumn's expression is a wide and excited smile; she hasn't gotten to show off yet, or to speak really;

She shakes her head. "No, no i haven't. I'm all butterflies still - I feel really out of my league." She vents anxiety through her hands, pressing her fingertips gently back and forth together in time with her words. She notices where Aria's come out of and looks to her, eyes alight behind her own mask. "Is everything alright?" Concern laces her tone.

closed for: @autumnshowell the masquerade

She'd excused herself for the moment - away from all three of the ones she was meant to be with. In a quiet bathroom a bit away from the main area, she stares into the bathroom mirror and wills herself to smile. As usual, it doesn't quite reach her eyes - all dark and without a bit of shine or luster. Her lips shift downwards.

Imagine her surprise when she'd showed up to pick up Autumn, only to find out that she'd already left. The entire way to meet up with Laure, she'd felt sick to her stomach, like an idiot - only to see her there and feel the weight of her anxieties start to crush her.

If she gripped the sink a little harder, it would crumble beneath her hands but all the strength in the world couldn't make her mind stop rampaging against her.

It was meant to be good. But now she's worried that she's making the wrong impression on Autumn by being metaphorically tugged around on a leash by Laure - a woman she barely even knows, other than one shared night or that Autumn will think she's not important. And one worry leads to another, leads to another, leads to another and another.

And now she's got it in her mind that if she even looks at Autumn with any sort of appreciation, she'll be ripped to shreds in front of her. And she can't hide in the bathroom all night, either, despite what her mind is telling her is safe. Swallowing, she takes a deep (unneeded) breath, and exits.

She leaves and finds her way to Autumn, pointedly trying to ignore where she sees Laure across the room. It's hard for her to try and pretend, but she does so - plastering on a soft smile. "Have you had something to drink yet?"

˚.  ﹙ 㶌 ﹚ ☆  NIKO's FACTS !

001 ⭑ ͙ niko was born on may 8 1996 in brisbane, queensland, australia as an only child to a naval officer father and a musical instructor mother. due to his father’s occupation, he did not see him much growing up, technically only raised by his mother.

002 ⭑ ͙ as a child, he lived in a two-bedroom apartment with his parents, though his father wasn’t around much for that one. though he did grow up in australia, he considers his mothers hometown of chiang mai to be his second home.

003 ⭑ ͙ his name, nikolas ( meaning “people of victory” ) was given to him by his paternal grandmother, though he has since denounced this part of his past. while he does like his name, he does not like his father’s parents. on the other hand, his thai name kiet ( meaning “honor” ) was given to him by his paternal grandfather, naming him after his great grandfather.

004 ⭑ ͙ he does not have much extended family he actually likes seeing besides his mother’s father and a few godparents. he actively avoids his father’s side of the family.

005 ⭑ ͙ his parents divorced in 2006 when he was ten years old in light of a few personal issues. as the years have gone by he’s ceased communication with his father, he moved out of australia in 2008.

006 ⭑ ͙ niko’s musical interest stemmed from the musical interests of his mother, who he basically credits for getting him into the idol industry in the first place. considering his mother is basically a musical prodigy he doesn’t think he’ll ever measure up to her level of talent, however, courtesy of her endless knowledge, he’s learned how to play several instruments; the guitar, piano, and the violin (though he hates that one).

007 ⭑ ͙ niko is very nearsighted and has been for a good sixteen years. he’s been wearing glasses for fourteen years, he currently owns three pairs just in case, he has a horrible track record of breaking things. it’s also so obvious because he’s always squinting in 127 content.

008 ⭑ ͙ niko was scouted by sm entertainment in late 2011 on a trip but he was so convinced the scouting was a scam that he didn’t reply until the following year. he was completely clueless concerning the world of kpop at the time.

009 ⭑ ͙ according to his groupmates, niko picked up korean very quickly, becoming semi-fluent in less than a year. of course it took him a while to comfortably speak it around people, but he was easily able to write and somewhat communicate throughout his trainee days.

010 ⭑ ͙ niko graduated from hanyang university with a bachelor’s degree in astrophysics. he has always had an interest in both science and astronomy, which he decided to combine for his studies.

011 ⭑ ͙ niko, despite many preconceived notions, absolutely hates coffee. every time he drinks it he has that terrible anxious feeling that heightens for the rest of the day that just remains for the rest of the day and renders him pretty much sick, not even hyperactivity, it’s always bitter, and it practically makes him want to die in most circumstances (that’s dramatic, he’s always been dramatic).

012 ⭑ ͙ niko has his fair share of lyrical credits, post-regular irregular he’s had consistent credits on 127 songs, he only has two producing credits which are on the we are superhuman and walk albums.

013 ⭑ ͙ niko has two half siblings, courtesy of his dad’s second marriage, aria ( 2009 ) & theo ( 2012 ), despite the fact that he actively avoids his father at all costs, he makes sure to spend time with them whenever he can. considering the age differences, they’re basically his kids at this point.

014 ⭑ ͙ niko has a bombay cat named susi who he adopted in 2014. she’s his pride and joy, she’s so prominent to him in fact that all of his social media is just her. he’s never been a pet guy, not even that much of a cat guy, but he’ll curse any tongue that rises against her.

015 ⭑ ͙ he’s always had a pretty good memory and is often referred to as the groups memory bank because he remembers everything they do, events, dates, specific time stamps, etc. he’s the member to go to for help whenever you want to remind someone of an embarrassing moment, he remembers everything.

016 ⭑ ͙ niko has his drivers license, however, he’s not that on par with driving. his only ever exception is whenever jungwoo asks because he is afraid of being in a car with the other behind the wheel.

017 ⭑ ͙ niko is just a little obsessed with beanies and decorated hats. he owns a lot of them, several colors which clash against his typically not so colored clothing, he isn’t exactly sure why he’s so obsessed with them, but he feels it’s apart of his brand now. he originally only did wear them because he didn’t enjoy styling his hair, he still doesn’t really, but he’s also the “beanie guy” now..

018 ⭑ ͙ niko also has a bit of a strawberry obsession. why? he cannot tell you. he just likes them, they’re easy to bake with, they’re also nice to bake with. he could probably eat strawberry scones forever.

019 ⭑ ͙ niko is the least active member on social media, especially instagram because he keeps forgetting his password and deletes the app every few months to save up his storage.

020 ⭑ ͙ he’s a huge horror game fanatic, just a huge horror fanatic in general, he enjoys getting terrified. it’s the works of junji ito that inspire his mess of a notebook, among his favorite horror games are resident evil, parasite eve, until dawn, and eternal darkness.

021 ⭑ ͙ niko’s favorite artists are rina sawayama, anri, kendrick lamar, f(x), sza, 2pm, frank ocean, and lauryn hill.

022 ⭑ ͙ he’s actually a pretty good cook, however, he enjoys baking much more because he has a strange sweet tooth. he doesn’t mind cooking for his other members, but he prefers having people cook for him.

023 ⭑ ͙ he’s one of the members netizens usually dislike because he has a stupidly impulsive mouth and forgets to filter himself on most occasions. it isn’t as if he causes consistent problems, he just sometimes forgets about the whole ‘watch what you say’ thing.

024 ⭑ ͙ he sometimes collects japanese baseball cards despite having little care for the sport. he has a couple of rare ones that probably sell for millions, but he likes keeping them in a binder to admire.

025 ⭑ ͙ despite the fact that he never sleeps, he is a consistent early riser, always up pre-7am busying himself with something. usually it’s journaling or just rewatching the same thing over and over again.

026 ⭑ ͙ his handwriting often flip flops, sometimes it’s really neat or it can be sloppy beyond recognition. it is very inconsistent, johnny calls it “completely bipolar”.

027 ⭑ ͙ niko has two very specific journals he’s owned for about five years, one is for writing, poetry, and somewhat personal entries whilst the other is completely dedicated to sketches. he never erases anything or rips out any of the pages, he looks back on his mistakes to do much better.

028 ⭑ ͙ he has basically become an honorable member of the suh family, whilst he and johnny do consistently butt heads, he’s adored by his mother and has been invited for chuseok every year post–2015.

029 ⭑ ͙ his recently newly instated hobby is scrapbooking, he simply enjoys preserving memories physically because having his memories constantly circulate is boring. he currently owns only one scrapbook, but once he farms enough embarrassing photos of each member he’ll have plenty.

030 ⭑ ͙ niko rarely dyes his hair and basically acts in the manner of a fussing child if you even attempt to get a color other than black near his hair. he went literally seven years without dyeing his hair once until 2023 when he went blonde for the first time, and subsequently 2024 when the blonde returned.

[lincoln-riley]

Lincoln nodded, slowly but firmly, confirming her question. Wincing as he watched the shock play out on her features, he looked away briefly, finding it difficult to maintain eye contact. Guilt rushed over him in waves, making him regret not telling her sooner– though would it have changed anything? Perhaps more bloodshed could have been prevented, but Link figured his fate would have been the same regardless of when he chose to break his silence. Sighing hard, he leveled his gaze with hers again, a soft frown tugging at the corner of his mouth, “I signed up to build casinos,” he answered, head shaking gently, “And, on a more personal note, to find my mother’s killer– he allegedly had cartel ties. But…after everything that’s happened…I don’t care about that anymore.” Avenging his mother hadn’t ever included spilling innocent blood or terrorizing an entire town. It had been about one man, and one man only– but now, in light of everything else, Link had let go of that hate. He’d never figured out who to point it at anyway.

Swallowing hard, he nodded as if to brace himself as he prepared to tell Aria exactly who was behind all the violence. He knew he was doing the right thing by coming clean, so why did it feel like barbed wire was twisting into his gut? “The Enterprise,” he divulged, dark eyes searching hers and waiting for her to make the connection. On the surface, The Enterprise really was the massively successful company it claimed to be, but underneath spoke to something far more sinister. And what did they want? “Everything,” he answered simply, “It’s not enough to wipe out the gangs in town– it’s about absorbing their cash flow too.”

Frowning, he nodded and darted another look around, unable to face her the way he wanted to. He knew that by telling her all of this, he was risking her safety too, but he felt quite sure this was the only way to get the truth to those who needed to hear it. Link knew he couldn’t go to the various gang leaders himself– they’d never trust him, assuming he even got close enough to have an audience with them. But Aria? She was the bridge he needed. He knew that, but it didn’t mean he felt good about the position he was putting her in. “I know, and believe me, if I thought there was another way, I would’ve done it,” he pressed, head shaking, “I never wanted any of this to land at your feet.” Palming the back of his neck, he blew out a long sigh, “Why now?” It was a valid question. “Because I can’t do this anymore– it’s out of control, and if me speaking out stops innocent bloodshed, I’ll deal with the consequences.” 

Lincoln shook his head, “No, I had no idea about what happened at the casino.” There was a considerable amount of bitterness in his tone as frustration ticked at the back of his jaw. That was another reason for finally breaking his silence– now the business he’d fought tooth and nail to build was being affected, diminishing his reasons for even stepping foot in Tonopah Valley in the first place. “And I don’t know where Dante is either, but with any luck, he’s six feet under.” Harsh, maybe, but Link found that he really did mean that. Dante was a snake. Pushing that thought aside, Lincoln’s face suddenly fell at her question, “No, no,” he pressed, reaching to take her hands in his, “This is real– always has been.” After everything he’d just told her, Lincoln didn’t expect Aria to actually believe him now, but he could hope. “I had no idea who you were then.” And even after he’d found out, it hadn’t changed how he felt about her or what he’d wanted to build between them. But in recent weeks, he’d been slammed with the truth: they couldn’t build a damn thing with this sort of secret hanging between them, nor could they build anything once it came to light. Doomed all along.  “I do,” understand, that was, “But it’s the gravity of everyone else’s that I care about more.” This town had suffered enough and his silence had only added to it. That wasn’t the sort of man Lincoln was, and he couldn’t be that man for a moment longer. It was dangerous, exposing The Enterprise like this– not just because he’d have a target on his back after that, but because he knew both Los Santos and the Sons of Silence would want retribution. If gunning after him gave that to them, then so be it. At least it’d finally give them both the real devil in their midst– Giovanni Ricci. “If this exposes this organization for what it’s really become and stops the violence, it’s worth every risk.” As the tears that had been threatening to fall from her eyes finally spilled over, Link lifted a hand to her face, the pad of his thumb gently swiping them away. “I think you know what all of this means, though,” he continued, figuring he might as well not beat around the bush, “Devante and I…we can’t stay here.”

Upright and waiting, she's not entirely sure what she's expecting him to say. However, the idea of outrunning an empire certainly wasn't it, especially not when she could see in his face that he wasn't joking. It only begged the question, what empire? And what had he done to warrant being on their hit list? "What?" Aria tilts her head, pausing as if she's questioning whether or not she just heard what she did. "You... know?" Adding, she could feel a cold chill beginning to travel up her spine. Not unselfishly, but with that very confession, she had just been put between a rock and a hard place. Or rather, him and Los Santos. She didn't ask how, nor who, figuring that since he started this conversation, he'd delve into that as he spoke.

A wash of surprise overtakes her features, pinning her shoulders back and raising her brows. Worked for them? What the fuck. "Then what did you sign up for?" Aria asks, not really sure where she wants to start with the questions, nor how she actually feels about it. Right now, all she could feel was surprise and a sinking feeling of dread. Did she believe him? Could she? It felt quite like a reality slap to the face, if she was honest. "And who are they? What are they after?" Frowning now, she felt like she already had a general idea given who their main targets had been, but better to hear it from a source than speculate.

Narrowing her eyes at the revelation that he was aware of who hung around her establishment, there was that cold chill etching its way back up her spine. If he knew, how long had he known for? What if the only reason he even looked her way was to use her as a way in? No... no way, he wouldn't do that, would he? She would know if she was being played... wouldn't she? "Me?" Raising a brow, she huffs out a breath and drags a hand through her hair. "Do you have any idea what position you've just put me in?" Thoughts rolling in a million miles an hour, she could only pause and blink at him for a good few seconds as she processed everything.

"You've known everything, all this time? Walked amongst the people who lost family, friends... Said nothing. Why tell me now? The casino... did you know that was going to happen? Do you know where Dante is?" Had it all been some sort of plan? Aria shook her head, feeling as though the more she thought about it, the more questions and concerns she had. "And me... You knew? About who goes in and out of my restaurant. Tell me that isn't why you walked into my shop that day?" To get close to her, even if it was just his orders from above. With her emotions in upheaval, there's a pool of tears that threaten to spill over her eyes, held back only by her own will power.

"I am hearing you out," she bites, pulling in a breath and blowing it out slowly. "Lincoln, I'm not sure you understand the gravity of your situation... Because yes, I can do what you want, I can get this to the people who need to hear it, but I can not promise you your safety. I can't tell you that just because you tell me you had nothing to do with it that they will believe me, or even care." Which might sound harsh, but it was the blunt truth, how much sway she had with Rio, with Los Santos? It might not count for anything. "...And even if they do, it's not just them. It's the Son's. These people, Link.... They are not evil, not bad, but they are loyal and they are wounded, retaliation is what they call justifiable." And it's with that thought, the tears finally spill silently over her eyes. She knew right here and now, he couldn't stay. It would be dangerous, for him, for Devante, too dangerous to take the risk that either gang would not literally kill him just for having his name tied to the organization that caused them so much pain.

NINA & these lines of Brenner's

Okay so... I did some digging on the origins of NINA okay?

This scene blocking bugged me for quite some time until I realized WHY it bugged me so much. . . it's STAGE blocking! And the door closing is like a CURTAIN CLOSE after the end of an Act!

(so yes, I think NINA is a part of Henry's "Silly Little Play" Agenda.)

I found something rather interesting about Nina in the context of the show. The aria that is played is NOT from Dalayrac's opera Nina, but rather from Nina, o sia La pazza per amore (Nina, or Madly in Love) - an Opera by Giovanni Paisiello, first performed in 1789.

The lines about Nina's return to the train station are a parallel to Paisiello's Nina, where the young woman waits at a crossroads at the same hour each day for her lover's return.

Yet, when you look at Dalayrac's Nina, you can see that the story differs. . . and it more closely resembles what it is that El is experiencing throughout the NINA Project, The Dive, and The Massacre at Hawkins Lab.

"Nina believes her lover has been killed and goes mad, forgetting aspects of the traumatic incident in a manner consistent with a diagnosis of psychogenic amnesia. . ."

El is consistently seeing 005, 007, the Twins - 016 & 017, Red Blocks, the curved rainbow on the floor of the Rainbow Room (which we see the twins playing on in the opening of The Hellfire Club), the Magic Eight ball (which we see 010 playing with in 4x01 -> The Hellfire Club), a set of dice rolled to a Seven, and a maze with two marbles in the maze.

So, what does this mean?

Well, within the overall show context, we might see this on the surface as El forgetting the details of the massacre leading to Henry killing all of the other lab kids, right?

But if you look deeper, Henry killing the lab kids in the massacre is actually a parallel to Anakin killing the younglings before turning to the dark side of the force. . . and unbeknownst to Anakin, one of the younglings survived by playing dead.

Now how does that relate to Henry/001 and El? Well, Henry chose to save El. He made sure she was hidden away in a janitorial closet, so that she would not witness what he was doing. This rules out El being the child that survived the massacre by playing dead.

But what about Kali, you may ask?

-> Henry/001 establishes that Kali has already escaped the premises of the lab, now if she escaped with Henry's help, or she did it of her own accord (as Kali claims to have done in S2) is yet to be revealed to us as an audience. Therefore, Kali is also ruled out as the child that survived the massacre by playing dead. . .

And this leaves us with a few other children to look at, but there are plenty of context clues within the show that already tell us which child might have survived this massacre alongside El. . .

-> And that could be 012, because of this evidence below:

First, when we open S4, Brenner passes the door numbered: 11.

Then, later, after the massacre has occurred, Brenner bumps into the door numbered 13:

Another piece of evidence I recently found is that it looks like both 005 and 007 each have a single broken finger in El's flashbacks.

Callahan asks "You think he got hurt?" prior to Hopper's next line:

“Not so hurt he couldn’t walk away…”

Most of Vecna’s victims (the lab kids being some of Henry/001’s victims) were injured to the point they couldn’t walk away… but if Will managed to escape with just a broken finger at about the age of 8 years old, in 1979. . . then that could explain Dustin’s comment.

However, Dustin moved to Hawkins in 4th grade, and assuming all four boys were in the same school grade, Dustin would have moved to Hawkins between the Fall of 1979 - Fall of 1980.

The massacre occurred in September of 1979… which means Will, El, and Mike are all 8 years old at the least.

Arcanamusica Novel #005 ⅩⅧ.月　伊調弦八／アリア - (The Moon, Tsuruya Ichou/ Aria) Translation

(T.N.: This takes place right after Juna’s short story) 

As he waited for the person on the other line to disconnect the call, Ichou slowly lowered the phone away from his ear.   

Then, he let out a gentle sigh. 

As if he was let go by an invisible string, he exhaled and felt his shoulders and body finally able to relax. Closing his eyes, he sank down into the one-person sofa that he had inherited from his Grandfather, and thought about the call he just made.

…He said…he’s looking forward to it…

His ears echoed with those kind words that he just heard.

“...I’ll do my best.”

The one who wished for a new song that he could call his own, was Ichou himself.

He had felt so much frustration and pain when he saw Madarame pine for the song and words of another person when Ichou was right next to him…Even if it was little by little, he was trying to put as much spirit as he could possibly muster.

I can’t believe a new song has come so soon..

Arcanamusica’s new song that came from the management team was written for Ichou’s “Aria”. It was a song that only Aria could sing.

Come to think of it, Ichou heard about Arcanamusica, but he wasn’t entirely sure who was behind it.

It wasn’t necessary to do so as the “Aria” of Arcanamusica, but Ichou couldn’t stop seeing himself as Tsuruya Ichou. He had a background in classical music and was a part of that world for a long time, so it was natural to want to know who was behind a certain piece and the background of who composed it. To take the author’s circumstances and feelings into account when performing a song…Ichou felt as though playing music and performing it was always about “taking a song that exists already, and playing it for the composer and how they want to hear it”. 

Starting from his childhood, this thought process was something ingrained in him, so now that he was in a situation in which he had to sing a new song as “his own” and “how he wants to”, Ichou felt a bit uneasy and unsure of how to do it.

But…if Juna wants to hear it, I’ll try.

For Ichou, there was only one reason that he continued to sing. He wanted Juna to hear it, because Juna was the one to realize Ichou’s existence. 

That was the only reason.

His feelings, his thoughts, were all for that one person.

As he played the new song that he received, Ichou rose and headed for his desk. His unfinished tasks were scattered across the surface, but he instead took out the notebook and began to fill in the areas of the score between the staff lines. 

“Here, I can add a breath…Here, I should lighten up on the strength of delivery and be a bit more conscious...”

Listening and singing the songs were easy enough for him to learn, but this method was much more reliable for him to express the music in his own terms. 

For him to get closer and closer to his wish.

(I absolutely can’t compromise.)

He wanted to repay and validate the compliments Juna gave him the first time they had met.

With his eyes starstruck, complimenting his tone with one word: “beautiful”.

He wanted to see that gaze and hear those words once more, as many times as he could, said only to him.

As he focused his attention on working on the sheet music, humming gently along while following the page in his hands, Ichou suddenly realized something.

“Juna’s song… I wonder what it’s like…”

Ichou was sure that he wasn’t the only one to be given a song that day, in that place.

For that reason, he was sure that he would be able to hear Juna’s singing voice again.

“I’m..looking forward to it too.”

With an uneasy feeling that seemed to spread around him as his heart began to race…Ichou gently traced the notes that colored the music of his song with his fingertips.

@refinedtragedy​ SENT: “Congrats, you have me pinned and now have my attention.” || to Kol from Aria

“Darling,” Kol leaned in so he was inches away from Aria’s face. “I’ve had your attention the whole time, the pinning part was only for fun.”

[demjinhearts]

Thankfully, while being inside, Kaz had found a way to clean himself up from living in the street. It felt great, and thankfully for everyone here it was making him in a better mood. So when he saw this young woman he had seen a while back at the diner, he immediately walked closer to her. “Hey, um.. Aria, right?” He asked softly, as he observed her. “I just wanted to apologize for last time. I’m attempting to be a better person and uh-.. Yeah.” That he was, he knew he couldn’t find a job if he was on his guards and on a bad behavior with everyone, and he was done not having a home.

on the OCTOBER 2 episode of KBS’s GAG CONCERT, actors from LGC AGENCY made a guest appearance. unlike previous episodes, this show was split into two with the first half revolving around a home shopping channel while the latter half was about first-time employees managing a restaurant.

the home shopping channel segment features KIM MIA, LEE HANBYUL, SEO MINSEOK, SON ALEC, and YOON ARIA selling different items with their utmost honesty, leading the potential consumers to question the product’s value. as for the restaurant segment, it features HAN SEHOON, MOON JOSHUA, and YANG AERI who portray nervous employees running a business and the comedic mishaps that happen with the customers’ orders. 

both segments are quite hilarious and audiences got a chance to see another side of the company’s actors. this has been their first television appearance in months since their previous appearances and fans cannot wait to see what else the actors have in store for the latter half of the year.

[ + / - ] why were the lgc actors in a comedy show?? they’re not comedians, so why did they appear on a show like this? they should have let them be on another drama instead of this… [ + / - ] this has to be one of my favorite episodes on this show! we got to see some of them in their previous projects but to tackle on something like comedy isn’t an easy task! i’m so impressed with how well they did it! this is a must-watch episode, everyone!

#LGCENT #LGCAGENCY #HANSEHOON #KIMMIA #LEEHANBYUL #MOONJOSHUA #SEOMINSEOK #SONALEC #YANGAERI #YOONARIA

note: for completing ACTING MISSION 005, HAN SEHOON, KIM MIA, LEE HANBYUL, MOON JOSHUA, SEO MINSEOK, SON ALEC, YANG AERI, and YOON ARIA will receive +3 notoriety from this article! feel free to link this post to your points sheet!

IMPORTANT: as written in the requirements, the thread has to be when the cameras ARE rolling, please do not write threads during breaks or off camera,  the goal is to write about what the viewers are likely to see. of course, all interactions should remain friendly. 

REQUIREMENTS

you have until JULY 2, 11:59PM EDT to complete the following requirements using the hashtag #lgc:babysittingservices.

as mentioned in the TRAINEE EVALUATIONS 005, this task is similar to how the actor muses do it in that you would need to write 2 posts week to be rewarded the points. we base the weeks similar to how we do ac, so it’s best to approach this by thinking that rather than getting one post done per week, you would need two! you can submit the sets every week or all together, but we prefer every week so that in case there are any mistakes, you have time to fix them!

to validate your skill points and collect your notoriety points ( for this task ), please submit the following form on the points blog before JULY 2, 2022 11:59PM EDT.
