Glaw ran their fingers through the shaved side of their head, feeling the prickling of the short fuzz beneath their fingertips. The new haircut was certainly different from their last. They eyed their reflection in a window for the fiftieth time, sweeping their hand over the now-short ponytail that tied their hair back and fiddling with the small braids on either side of their head.

“It looks fine, Glaw,” Braham said, also for the fiftieth time.

Glaw shot him a look and removed their hands from their head. “You let an asuran barber go at your hair while verbally berating you for a few hours.” They joined him at the railing overlooking the outskirts of Rata Sum. Crossing their arms, they leaned against Braham, not oppressively but enough to keep a constant contact.

Braham chuckled. “I think I’ll pass. It does look good, though, I promise. Very... distinguished. Norn-like.”

“I don’t look like a shaggy dolyak anymore?”

“Well, I--” Braham began. Glaw punched him lightly in the arm. “Hey! That was a leading question.”

With a snort, Glaw leaned against the railing. The asuran gate in the distance fluctuated, and Glaw watched as a figure emerged from the undulating purple. They knew that silhouette. “Is that the Commander?”

Rook greeted the pair as they crossed the forum to meet her. “Braham, Glaw. I didn’t realize you two were still out this way.”

Glaw shared a glance with Braham. “Taimi put us to work helping the scientists. This place has been bleeding destroyers left and right,” Braham explained.

“Most of the portals in the city have been closed. Can’t afford destroyers getting into the heart of the city,” Glaw added, “It’s been a long week.”

“Have either of you spoken to Taimi recently?”

“No, why?” The three of them paused outside the Hydrone Unit.

“Taimi called earlier, saying there was a signal beneath Metrica Province that was steadily getting stronger. I came over to help with evacuation efforts,” Rook said. She paused for a moment, squinting up at Glaw. “I like the haircut.”

“We could use all the help we can get, Commander. Have you ever tried to herd asura?” Braham’s tone betrayed his exasperation. Glaw hummed in agreement. Most of the asura they had had to cajole to leave their projects behind and find safety in the city had been civil, if not a bit rude, but there were one or two who had definitely tried to bite Glaw. One had succeeded until Braham had threatened to smash their hydro gun.

“I believe it will be a first,” Rook murmured. She was the first one into the Hydrone Unit, and she clapped her hands to get the attention of the asura inside. “We’ve got destroyers incoming! Time to evacuate. Everyone, get to the city!”

The asura grumbled, but most of them filed out with minimal complaints, many with machines and spare parts tucked under their arms or being toted along by golems. A few lingered, claiming they would be fine; they had security built into the lab. With a sigh, Glaw looked at Braham.

“Are you sure we can’t just leave them here?” They weren’t serious. Not... fully. But they had yet to meet another race that was as ornery and stubborn as the asura, save for maybe norn themselves.

Braham quirked his lip up in a half smile. “I think the Commander would have some strong words against that.” Another ten minutes passed before they managed to convince the last asura to leave. She went but not without a mouthful of foul language tossed over her shoulder at their trio.

“Right,” Rook said, dusting off her hands, “Taimi said she was out at the Hinterlabs. Shall we?”

Glaw wasn’t sure what to make of Taimi. She had introduced herself to Glaw as Braham’s best friend, and Braham seemed fiercely protective of her in turn. And as with any sibling relationship, they constantly annoyed each other. Glaw had witnessed the pint-sized asura fall into a full fit of yelling at Braham when he had accidentally broken a knob off of a machine, but in the same breath, she thanked him for keeping her lab free of destroyers. The large golem that dogged her every step was as equally intimidating as Taimi’s temper.

“Great, you��re all here!” Glaw heard Taimi before they saw her. She loaded herself into her golem and began to parse through things scattered around the lab. “We have a perfect sized-force to head into the caverns.”

“An expedition? At a time like this?” Rook sounded doubtful.

“Half these folks will guard the portal and help with the evacuation. Besides, this is the perfect time to go collect some rare data!” Taimi stopped in front of them. “All ready to go?”

Sighing, Rook waved a hand towards the caverns. “Let’s head out.” The four of them and a small collection of asuran peacekeepers ascended the slope up to the grotto that delved down beneath Rata Sum. From the mouth of the cave, Glaw spied a few destroyers milling around. They grimaced. Hopefully this venture would end without the need for another haircut.

“So what’s down here that’s so important?” Braham’s voice echoed strangely off the pockmarked walls.

“There’s a signal coming from deeper in the caves. I’ve not been able to duplicate it successfully in the lab. Ryland and Jormag are waiting on my analysis--my findings could help kill the fire dragon.”

“You’re okay with this alliance?” An incredulous note entered Braham’s tone. Glaw side-eyed him.

“If it means stopping Primordus... yeah,” Taimi replied. “You’re not?”

“An Elder Dragon is an Elder Dragon, Taimi. Jormag can’t be taken lightly.”

“I’m not taking it lightly,” Taimi soothed, “but Jormag’s not the one pinging my instruments. Primordus is. And at least Jormag can be reasoned with.”

“Have you ever tried to reason with an icebrood? They’re not big on talking,” Braham countered.

“What about the Svanir?” Glaw wrinkled their nose. They turned their attention away from the conversation, not wanting to hear the asura’s defense of the Sons of Svanir. They joined Rook who was trailing at the back of the group, picking off any destroyers who tried to stray too close.

“Got tired of the bickering?” she assumed as she fired off another arrow.

Glaw hummed. “Are they always like this?”

“Not usually, actually. I think they’re both just... worried. They come from similar backgrounds, so they do have a tendency to butt heads.”

“Similar backgrounds?”

Rook sighed. “Taimi was a brilliant progeny. She’s always had the pressure of living up to greatness. Braham is the son of Eir Stegalkin who is arguably the most famed norn in the modern age, and he’s always tried to measure himself by that standard. Both grew up with the expectation that they would be able to fix everything.”

Glaw looked back at the two who were still locked in debate. They broke off for a moment to crush a few bursters who had the misfortune of trying to attack them. As soon as the destroyers were dead, they were back at it again. “And who do you agree with?”

Rook considered the question. “Jormag is dangerous, and we shouldn’t trust anything they promise,” she began carefully, “but Primordus is the active threat at the moment, and Jormag is one of the few beings in Tyria capable of countering him.”

“I think Ryland’s planning something else,” Glaw admitted. They had known Jormag too long to believe the Dragon would suddenly play along after months of attempting to kill all of them.

“So do I,” Rook agreed as she joined Taimi and Braham at the front of the escort as they came to a halt. Glaw swept their gaze across the cavernous walls before following the Commander.

“This is the spot,” Taimi was saying as they approached, “Strongest readings yet.” She let her machine run, turning to Braham once more. “Look Braham, I get where you’re coming from. I do. But even if Jormag is lying, the data isn’t. Jormag isn’t the one who’s currently burning our world, killing our people, and destroying our homes. Primordus is.”

A look of hurt flickered across Braham’s face. “Jormag terrorized the norn. Made us run--remember? Run or die.”

Glaw couldn’t read Taimi’s expression from inside her golem, but her words relayed her anger. “But you’re still there, in the mountains and the snow. We had to abandon everything, and we’re not the only ones.”

“Jormag--” Braham started.

“Isn’t. Threatening. You!” Taimi exploded. Braham pulled away. “That is.” She pointed to a large destroyer roaming the cave they entered through.

Braham was silent after her outburst. He set his jaw and drew his mace, eyeing the large molten beast. Glaw huffed and unsheathed their own weapon. They followed Braham, listening as Rook urged Taimi to gather her data faster.

“You alright?” Glaw asked as they squared off with the massive destroyer. Braham’s mace slamming into its carapace was answer enough.

“Fine,” he grunted. Glaw wasn’t going to get anything else out of him, they knew. They swallowed some of their own ire they felt at Taimi’s tirade and got to work crippling the destroyer. It was easiest to deal with them, they had found, when they no longer had any of their legs to evade you with.

The creature shrieked as the steel of Glaw’s sword sliced through the ligaments of its jointed leg. The limb fell severed and twitching to the ground. One down, one to go. The beast toppled slightly before catching itself on its dagger-like arm. It swiped at Glaw with its free arm. The acrid taste of smoke hit the back of Glaw’s throat, a little too close for comfort. They muttered a curse and lurched out of the destroyer’s reach. Braham was making short work of the thick shell, and Rook and a few of the peacekeepers joined the fray.

It wasn’t long before the creature was on its knees. With a roar, Braham brought his mace down one last time onto its head. The carapace crumpled inwards, and the destroyer tied with a fizzing whine.

The tension eased out of the air, but when Glaw looked to Braham, they found him still standing beside the destroyer, mace in hand. “Everything okay?” they asked as they neared.

“Yeah,” Braham breathed, sounding distant. “I just... it was like I could feel it for a moment. I knew where it was going to be.”

Glaw glanced between Braham and the corpse. “The destroyer?” Braham nodded. “How?”

Braham heaved a breath. He met Glaw’s eyes, and their heart constricted in their chest at the lost look on his face. “I don’t know. I don’t know what’s going on with me.”

Glaw licked their dry lips. They glanced up and caught the Commander’s stare. She was watching their conversation with a measured gaze. “We’ll figure it out,” Glaw finally said.

BROWER (USA) + DIE SPAMS (HH) live am 08.11. im KOMET, ST. PAULI  - präsentiert von WILDWAX SHOWS!!!

https://www.facebook.com/events/421694042013988/

BUZZSAWS is the debut album by BROWER, the solo project of Nat Brower, resident of Ridgewood Queens and erstwhile NANCY and METALLEG compatriot, already championing the spirits and sounds of our most cherished Punk and Rock musical varietals the world over. After last spring’s Little Big EP (DIG007), BROWER is back, and the fire behind that ass is simply inextinguishable! Enter BUZZSAWS – a glam’d-out glitter-bomb of fuzz guitars and giant vocal melodies within the Venn diagram of Bolan, Bowie and Brett (Smiley).   Like Little Big, each song is jammed full of sugarcoated harmonies, laser-beam licks and unearthly hooks. Unlike LITTLE BIG, BROWER shows his teeth on BUZZSAWS – and they’re gnarly, thanks to all the sugarcoated harmonies – with several dbs of gain and big city grit added to the mix. From the first crack! of the snare on “Real Girl”, the album opener, a barrage of big guitars and bonafied boogie – missing even in this year’s finer Rock’n’roll offerings – takes hold for a satisfying spin the whole way thru. Loyal glam-o-philes will clap their feet and stomp their hands to “Hacksaw” and “U N Him”, two of BROWER’s heaviest headbangers to date, pulling together the swagger of T. Rex or Iron Virgin with the whirring guitars and sneering ‘tude of Hubble Bubble. While “My Father’s Name Was Cat” – a   storybook ode to our animal ancestors and dads who look like Cat Stevens – offers a psychedelic respite compliments of tripped-out, blissed-out synth layers; “Better Days” showcases BROWER’s tender side – in full display on LITTLE BIG – replete with dulcet sitar strums. AMANAZ covers closeout each side of the album, for two Zam Rock heavies re-interpreted as indispensible power pop bangers, epitomizing the eclectic Rock’n’roll DNA evolving in the BROWER petri dish. Recorded and performed entirely by the BROWER boy himself, Nat has somehow captured the over-produced gleam of the glam era from his bedroom home studio.   In the flesh, Nat has recruited the perfect band (featuring members of DIRTY FENCES and VELVETEEN RABBIT) to get the BROWER show on the road, heralding the coming year, THE YEAR OF THE BUZZSAWS… DIE SPAMS (HH) https://www.facebook.com/diespams/ Die Spams aus Hamburg sind das Leuchtfeuer am Garagenbeatpunk-Horizont! "Not canned meat, but ass-kicking garagebeat from Hamburg! Peter, Tom, Rocco and the Doctor will shake your hips! Garagepunks, beatniks and hipsters of all ages unite dancing to the incredible beats of DIE SPAMS." C&G from London Jenseits von Kitsch, Kuschelrock und gefälligen Popmelodien krachen die Jungs gewaltig und geradeaus in jeden Hintern! Endlich ein Stil, der Großstadtsurfer und Garagenpunks, Beatniks und Hipster im Herzen vereint - und das ohne Umwege! Die Welt könnte so viel besser sein, wenn nur jeder Die Spams hören würde....Knick knack, zicke zacke let’s go!

Arena Mexico Report! 03/13/2018

Electrico, Robin & Sensei vs Raziel, Cancerbero & Nitro

Who’s who?

Electrico in white, Robin in black and Sensei in a white gi. 

Raziel in red/black, partner Cancerbero black/red with tanktop and Nitro having black fuzz on the top of his mask. 

How’s the match?

Good, wish Astral was here. Not sure if he was absent or if they just didn’t want Electrico/astral to lose as a team again here. It’s also nice to see Sensei who is less often seen on television. I think he did well here and probably won favore by doing such a good job upon stepping up to the plate. This is a fun undercard match, but is still pretty inconsequential like most matches in this spot are.

Fuego, Blue Panther Jr. & The Panther vs Kawato San, Tiger & Puma

Who’s who?

Fuego in orange/yellow, Blue Panther Jr. in blue/white and The Panther in all black like he normally is. 

Kawato San in red pants, Tiger in all white and Puma in black/yellow.

How’s the match?

Great, I’ll say it a million times and I’ll say it again. Puma/Tiger/Panther Bros in the same match is always a treat. Great rivalry and adding Kawato/Fuego to it works just fine here. I’m not really sold on Kawato’s spinning kick finisher, I think I prefer his double boot stomp, not sold on that move either. Puma & Tiger adopting Kawato San seems unlikely, but they will make good partners until Kawato finds a team.

Titan, Stuka Jr. & Triton vs Los Hijos del Infierno (Mephisto, Luciferno & Ephesto)

Who’s who?

Titan in a silver mask dark shorts, Triton in white mask with dark shorts and Stuka Jr. in light blue and the only person on his team with a top.

Hijos have names on their shorts, except Mephisto in the red mask.

How’s the match?

Great, Hijos del Infierno have been tagging so much as a team that it makes me wonder if they are being positioned to be next trios champions taking it from Volador/Valiente/Mistico. They looked strong here and took on 3 of the most talented tecnicos on the roster. This match is a high point for the show and likely match of the night. This show in general was a pretty good event with some fantastic trios action. 

Pierroth vs Mascara Ano 2000

Who’s who?

Pierroth or La Bestia del Ring is wearing a black shirt and white gear. Mascara Ano 2000 starts with a mask and is in all black.

How’s the match?

Meh, about what you’d expect this two. Both men cheat to get falls and this ends with the two bickering at each other. They are going to clash as families Friday night though Pierroth isn’t booked for that instead his 3 sons fighting Ano and his nephews Sanson/Forastero. That match should be good in spite of Ano, but it made his win here seem obvious as to make his look strong vs Rush/Lee/Mistico who all 3 have more clout in CMLL than Mascara Ano 2000 in 2018. 

Soberano Jr., Valiente & Marco Corleone vs La Peste Negra(Negro Casas, Barbaro Cavernario & Mr. Niebla)

Who’s who?

Soberano Jr. in blue/silver, Valiente in red and Marco the giant white guy without a mask.

Negro Casas in plain black gear, Barbaro the caveman and Niebla the lone masked guy in Peste Negra. 

How’s the match?

Great, this follows the trend set monday by having a main event that actually feels like a main event. Always nice to see a main event feature a unit. La Peste Negra much like Los Hijos del Infierno could be guys positioned to take the trios champions. They don’t look as strong here though with Barbaro going ape and causing Peste Negra to lose via a DQ low blow to Soberano Jr. Still this was a fun match before that disappointing ending. There was talk of Felino leaving La Peste Negra, but that hasn’t really been made evident just yet on broadcasts his last performance being with the team.

Notes: Rebel in the Ranks, Pt. 1

WARNING: These notes will completely spoil Servants of the Empire: Rebel in the Ranks. If you haven’t read it, stop and go here.

(Here are notes for the first book in the series, Edge of the Galaxy.)

On the surface, Rebel in the Ranks seemed like an easier project than its Servants of the Empire predecessor, Edge of the Galaxy. With the first book, I’d had to introduce Zare Leonis and his family and show how an Imperial poster boy was plagued by doubts and finally decided to resist the Empire. Rebel seemed like an easier lift – that work had been done, and about a third of the new book would be based on “Breaking Ranks,” the Star Wars: Rebels episode that introduced Zare.

I was wrong about the easier part, I think because Rebel was a larger story that needed to incorporate an adaptation. I had to work up to moments in “Breaking Ranks” that the show used as starting points, explain some things that worked on TV but not on the page, and figure out how to go beyond an adaptation without drifting into filler.

I learned a lot and it was a lot of fun. But not without some nervous moments.

Prologue: The Intake

The prologue’s main purpose was to catch the reader up on what had happened in Edge of the Galaxy: we get a quick review of Dhara Leonis’s disappearance, Zare attending Lothal’s Imperial Academy under false pretenses, and that Zare’s girlfriend, Merei Spanjaf, is helping him.

Exposition is the bitter medicine of storytelling, so you want to cover the taste with a little sugar. One technique is to deliver the exposition through dialogue, ideally as part of a conversation that has some other purpose and its own tension. I couldn’t do that everywhere here, as Zare has to keep secrets from Sergeant Currahee. But it works because Zare is essentially having a conversation with himself even as he’s answering Currahee’s questions.

The section also spins up the wheels for what's to come -- the most effective scenes do more than one thing. The reader meets Currahee, who’s straight out of central casting as the tough-as-nails drill instructor. And both Zare and the reader are tantalized by the possibility that the truth about what happened to Dhara is close at hand, maybe even displayed on the datapad that Currahee can see but Zare cannot.

We also get something new: a question that Zare, the reader and Currahee herself didn’t expect. Currahee asks if Zare ever dreams about his lost sister. What could that mean? We’re not going to find out, though – at least not yet. Currahee welcomes Zare to the Empire, and off we go.

Currahee’s name is an homage to Band of Brothers – it’s the name of the first episode, and an actual mountain in Stephens County, Ga., that paratroopers from Camp Toccoa had to run up and down.

Part 1: Orientation

Merei and Zare’s stories necessarily unfolded in parallel, as Zare is stuck at the Academy – a limitation that worked fine in Rebel but would nearly be the death of me in the third book, Imperial Justice. Fortunately for both books and the overall series, Merei had evolved from a supporting character to a main one who could hold her own with Zare – a happy accident I discussed in the notes for Edge of the Galaxy.

My starting point for this section was Ezra Bridger, AKA Dev Morgan. When we see "Dev” in “Breaking Ranks” it’s clear that he’s a new cadet. Maybe the Rebels producers intended the exercise in “Breaking Ranks” to be the first day of orientation, but it didn’t feel that way to me. But if Dev was a newcomer to the ranks, whose slot had he taken?

The answer to that question became Part 1, with Zare assigned to Unit Aurek with three other cadets: Jai Kell, Nazhros Oleg and Pandak Symes.

Jai’s role in the story was a straight line to the events of “Breaking Ranks” – he’s a talented, happy-go-lucky cadet who believes in the Empire but has no idea he’s Force-sensitive. Basically, he’s what Dhara was before she suffered the fate Jai must now avoid.

Oleg was a more interesting nut to crack. In “Breaking Ranks” he’s literally a faceless villain – we never see him with his faceplate open, undoubtedly to avoid stretching the animation budget. 

“Oleg” sounds like a first name, but the forms of address used in “Breaking Ranks” made it clear it was a last name, so I called him “Nazhros.” I suspect the starting point for Nazhros was “nauseous.” In creating names, I like taking words that get at something fundamental about the character, then fuzzing up those words. I learned that from George Lucas himself, who once explained how “Darth Vader” emerged from blending “Death Father” and “Dark Water.” (The Secret History of Star Wars found a high-school classmate of Lucas’s named Vader, but that’s not necessarily a contradiction – we subconsciously channel stuff all the time.)

I crafted a bit of a backstory for Oleg to set up a payoff in Imperial Justice and to give the character a bit of shading. Oleg is basically an abandoned child who’s been left in the indifferent care of his uncles. I intentionally didn’t go too far beyond that – the world is full of antisocial jerks whose stories of how they got to be antisocial jerks are depressingly simple. I also wanted to be true to the show – doing more with Oleg helped my story, but doing too much more with him might have wound up feeling like an inversion of the episode.

That left Pandak Symes. Pandak arrived “pre-doomed,” fated to be replaced by an undercover Ezra. But in that I saw a story to tell. The Zare we meet in Edge of the Galaxy is a natural leader who inspires, instructs and cajoles his grav-ball teammates into becoming league champions. His instincts would be to do the same as an Imperial cadet, and he’d try to help Pandak through his struggles.

That gave me not one but two obstacles for Zare. The first was obvious – the physical and mental rigors of boot camp, which would show Zare gaining strength and discipline and demonstrating his gift for leadership. But there was another wrinkle: boot camp was designed to turn out officers for the very Empire that Zare had sworn to defeat.

That put Zare’s instincts in collision with his goals, which was a dilemma not just for him but also for the reader. Zare helps his fellow cadets because of a basic decency that makes the reader root for him, but that same decency drives him to work against the Empire. There’s a queasy tension there for both character and reader.

My other major character was created to heighten that tension. Lieutenant Chiron is “the good Imperial,” a capable leader and mentor for Zare and other cadets. (In Greek mythology, Chiron is the wise centaur who tutors Heracles, Achilles, Jason and other heroes.) Chiron’s good qualities are real, but undermined by a fatal flaw: his inability to see that the system he supports is evil and cannot be reformed. From the beginning I knew that Chiron would be part of the series’ endgame, so I got to work early.

Quick notes on Part 1:

The book’s working title was The Rogue Cadet. I liked that, but Rebel in the Ranks tied in nicely with “Breaking Ranks.”

Merei’s alarm is a song she hates -- a treacly ballad called “With You Among the Stars.” I thought that was a revealing and funny character moment for her. The song is by Plexo-33, a band mentioned way back in HoloNet News. Heavy isotope was mentioned in the first Medstar book.

Chiron’s speech about “every morning in the Emperor’s service” was a goof on Sergeant Apone’s oorah call-to-arms in Aliens. Which, of course, was itself an homage to innumerable boot-camp stories. Currahee yelling at Pandak about his shower shoes, on the other hand, was a nod to Bull Durham, my favorite baseball movie.

I needed to map out the Academy system a bit here, and drew on The Essential Guide to Warfare. Lothal isn’t the same kind of academy Luke wants to attend in A New Hope – Zare is only 15. Rather, Lothal is a one-year junior academy, with those who do well going on to a regional senior academy. The course of study at a regional senior academy would typically last three years, with top cadets graduating to specialized service academies for officer training within a branch of the Imperial military. I kept all this a bit vague to avoid tying future storytellers’ hands. 

Chiron and Currahee transferred to Lothal over the summer from the Imperial Academy on Marleyvane. That meant there was no way they could have been involved in Dhara’s disappearance, increasing the tension as Zare tries to reconcile the idea that there might be “good” Imperials with their support of an evil system.

Note Unit Forn is all-female. We don’t see female cadets in “Breaking Ranks,” but we know they exist – Dhara was one, after all. And female officers and stormtroopers are increasingly common in Star Wars storytelling – something I explored in Warfare.

I turned to the cutaway view of a stormtrooper helmet in The Complete Visual Dictionary to figure out the positioning of the atmosphere intake and the suit-air intake, then checked it approximately 8,000 times to make sure I hadn’t reversed them in my mind. Just checked it again, even though it’s years too late. Make that 8,001.

There’s a quick reference to seatroopers -- a stormtrooper class introduced in Legends -- helping the cadets. I described them sparingly to give future storytellers as much flexibility as possible.

In the obstacle course, Zare directs his unit to switch between wedge and file formation. I read up on the relevant tactics for scenes in Rebel in the Ranks and Imperial Justice, but didn’t go beyond the basics here to avoid slowing things down. That happens a lot as an author – you do a bunch of research that winds up getting boiled down to a sentence or two. But if that makes that sentence ring true, it’s worth it.

Zare’s sports experience comes up a couple of times in this section. He describes his tactics in the obstacle course as a weak-side carry, and accepts Pandak’s departure after Chiron compares the cadet’s weakness to a grav-ball teammate not making plays.

Next up: Naming confusion and the mechanics of a successful computer hack.

King of His World: A YOI/Skating AU Jamilton Fic (part 1)

“Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome Alexander Hamilton of the United States of America.” A new skater, Thomas muses as a young boy skates to the center of the skating rink. The China Cup is full of young, aspiring skaters; Thomas feels like an old man. Hamilton is only 17, the television commentator, Charles Lee, says in a shrill, enunciated voice.

Thomas dislikes Lee. His voice and infatuation with British skater Samuel Seabury give Thomas a headache.

“This is Hamilton’s first season, and we can see potential in him, so very young as well.. Hamilton has been dubbed the prince of the ice, as was Seabury two seasons ag--” Lee starts, to be spoken over by the other commentator, the men’s world champion of 1998: Friedrich Von Steuben.

“Alright, thanks Lee. Anyways, Alexander Hamilton, skating to Les Rois Du Monde from Romeo and Juliet.”

17 years old. Thomas really feels like an old man. He is indeed the oldest competing skater at the grand prix, for all of his rivals had quit by the age of 23.

Thomas is 25. At the age of 17, Thomas hadn’t even dreamed of going to the grand prix; he’d been a late bloomer and had entered the competitive skating world at the age of 19.

That Alex kid must’ve worked a shit-ton to be here.

The camera zooms up on Alexander’s face. The determination in Alexander’s eyes makes Thomas almost laugh. There is silence as the audience collectively holds their breath, waiting for the music to start.

Man, the bags under his eyes are as dark as the peach-fuzz beard he has.

The first few notes of the music starts, and Alexander starts his short program.

Thomas’ dance coach, Angelica, winks at Thomas.  

“He’s cute, isn’t he, Tom?”

Thomas cracks a grin at the Schuyler.

“Are you trying to tell me to get laid?”

Angelica shrugs as she hands Thomas a water bottle.

“What type of coach would I be if I didn’t know what my students liked? You have a thing for pretty, scrawny boys, don’t you? Oh, and soulful eyes! You love passionate, soulful eyes.”

Thomas chokes on his water.

“If the water got on my outfit Madison would throw a fit.” Jefferson laughs nervously. The last comment hits a bit too close to home. It’s a good thing James Madison, his pretty, scrawny coach, is too sick to attend the China Cup, and does not overhear.

“Ah! You’re not denying it!” Angelica teases. “Well, I hope you don’t break your leg trying to woo this poor boy; we do not want a repeat of the shit that hit the fan last season.”

“Yes ma’am.” Thomas rolls his eyes. A quad lutz gone wrong had left Thomas’ leg useless last season: Thomas had broken it trying to show Angelica how graceful he could be. Angelica and James would never let him hear the end of it.

Thomas had been graced with kind coaches.

“Now, get up and going-- your practice skate is in about ten minutes.” Thomas nods wordlessly, and flexes his muscles.

Gotta show Hamilton who the king of the ice is, Thomas thinks.

NSFW #21: Traded

The dark was absolute. There was nothing discernable about NSFW’s surroundings other than a slight lack of solidity of the ground under their feet, a mild chill in the air, and the faint scent of grass, beer, popcorn, and other snacks, all mingled together in a familiar, nostalgic aroma. Slowly, and with no small sense of deja vu, Mike McGuire began to come to. She groaned as she found herself, once again, seated in a wooden chair and tied back to back with her partner. “Nnnngh… Church? You okay, bud?” John opened up his eyes slightly. His mind felt like mush. He mumbled his response. “Not really.” “Don’t worry. I’m right here, we’ll find a way out of this.” “Wait a second…” “Yeah. This is all really fuckin’ familiar, isn’t it?” Mike didn’t have time to comment on the odd repetitive feeling of their predicament any further, because just then, there was a strange electrical hum echoing from above, followed by the growl of machinery works grinding to life. Slowly, far, far above them, two roof panels slid apart, the full moonlight splashing down on the bound champions like a natural, silver-tinged spotlight. NSFW were tied up on a grassy field, smack dab in the middle of a gigantic blue star painted on the turf. All around them were cavernous, upward sloping rows of navy blue chairs, concrete stairways slicing them into sections. The massive rectangular hole that’d opened up in the domed roof revealed the starlit sky above them. Before either of them could say a word, though, the rhythmic beat of a helicopter’s blades cutting the air echoed through the empty building from the air above. The shadow of a large, luxury model chopper obscured the moonlight and hovered in place. Then, even more strangely, the figure of a man emerged from an open side door and, after a moment’s hesitation, lept out, falling toward them for about ten seconds before a parachute, adorned with the same blue star painted on the grass, opened behind him and slowly carried him down. Sensible but high end business shoes hit the blue-stained turf. The man was dressed in a dark navy suit, perfectly tailored to his somewhat thin frame, and had a head of wispy but neatly combed white hair. His face was lined with age and his eyes seemed set just a little too far apart on his head. He smiled at the captive tag team, the toothy, practiced smile of a Texas businessman. “Howdy y’all! You’ve been traded to my team!” “Oh no, not again. We’ve been coll-” “Shhh!” Mike looked back over her shoulder to the best of her ability, eyebrows raised in alarm. “You wanna get us sued!?” “Look at ya, big boy. You got the looks of my newest war daddy.” The old man then looked Mike up and down. “What are you, 5’1? 5’2?” Still not addressing the old man, Mike’s face lit up in recognition of just where they were. “Church. You know where this is? We’re on the fucking 50 yard line at AT&T Stadium.” “Right. This makes total sense.” “Ya see, things ain’t lookin’ too bright for America’s Team this year. Or any year. But we got ourselves you two. Jason’s gonna give ya call later, get you all acclimated. First, the Dallas Starlets. Kinda strange a guy wanted to be a starlet but hey, we got them male cheerleaders now. And now you’ll be the Newest Stars in Fort Worth.” “Aren’t we in fuckin’ Arlington?” “Same area, fellas!” Church looks up and all around. “Why?” Clearly the question was posed to his partner and not their current abductor. “Fuck if I know. Apparently we’re in hot demand lately and people can’t just send shit to our booking email. By the way, that’s nsfwtagteam@gmail.com, and we got pretty reasonable rates depending on date and occasion.” Church stood up from the chair all of a sudden, visibly annoyed. At least for him. Not even bothering with the illusion of being tied up. He looked at the local actor and gave a polite nod. “Thank you for your time but this is unnecessary.” Mike opened her mouth as if to protest- after all, they had just dropped a chunk of change renting the place for an hour- but nodded, getting up as well and brushing the fake ropes off. “You’re right, bud. This is kind of dumb. C’mon, let’s go.” Slipping an extra fifty bucks to not-Jerry Jones for his time and trouble, NSFW exited the stadium, their title belts slung over their shoulders. The picture fuzzed a bit as the feed transitioned from a professional camera setup to Mike’s trusty GoPro. “You know, EWC Faithful, ya boys have maybe gotten ourselves into a pattern lately. Little bit of overproduction, maybe where it isn’t exactly necessary. But hey, we did get a pretty nice location shot out of it. Check out where we are!” The picture whirled a bit, from the stadium growing slightly smaller behind them to the cityscape of Dallas growing slightly larger as they walked down the sidewalk. “It’s okay.” “I know it ain’t where we’re technically supposed to be, and believe me when I say we’ll be in Minneapolis when it’s time. But we thought the hometown of our opponents for this week might be worth a look.” Mike rubbed her chin. “The Dallas Starlets in Minneapolis. You know, Minneapolis used to have a hockey team called the Northstars that came to Dallas… eh, nevermind, I’m gettin’ off track.” Mike shrugged the thought off, waving to some passing fans who hollered happily to them. “I see you two wound up in FSW’s fucking meatgrinder of a match. I’ve gotta tip my hat to that- you’ve got some balls going through with it. Just make sure there’s enough of you left afterward to give us a good fight.” John walked at a slow pace but his long strides kept him side by side with Mike. “Nina Samson. Uriah Long. You two seem nice enough.” Then he stopped. Mike kept walking near out of camera shot before she realized the abrupt break. Taking a couple steps back around, she framed them up properly again. “But honestly, I’m not in the mood for it. Last time around, we’re amidst of a new chapter of a great story and then something happened.” “And that ain’t your fault. Frankly, you could be damn near anybody and we still wouldn’t have much patience for you. Patience, my little shiny Starlets, is a commodity we’re running pretty fucking scarce on lately. You can blame a particular... collection of shitters for that. Sticking their noses into business that wasn't theirs and will never be theirs. Here’s a nugget of wisdom to guide you through your rookie career, kids- you aren’t part of a story just by barging into it.” Mike snorted. Obviously, the events of the previous show were still irritating them both in a significant way. “Maybe we’re paranoid. Maybe we’re looking over our shoulders for a trio of underachievers and their cartoon villian of a manager. I’m sure that’s what they want.” John shrugged. “But maybe The Limit runs through them like a buzzsaw and we move on with our lives. So Uriah, Nina, since we were robbed of that chance last time, Mike and I need to make a statement. And if it has be against fighting cousins from the heart of Texas, so be it.” Mike held up a finger. “You’re new here, so let me define something for you. When my partner says that? He means that all bets are fucking off. You can be as fresh and cute and bright eyed and fuckin’ bushytailed as you want- we are running through you like shit through a goose. It ain’t personal. Like he said before, and I concur with- you seem like nice kids. Were circumstances better, we’d probably be friendlier. But it is what it is.” The Bronx brawler leaned over, glaring into the camera. “We want this over fucking quick. The longer we take to rip you apart, the bigger the likelihood some douchebags come swooping in like goddamn George of the Jungle to try and make their names off us. Again. Now, if you think you can handle that? A pair of pissed off Tag Team Champions willing to grind you into sawdust just to get you over with? By all means, bring it. This is your Come To Jesus moment, and we’re feeling like holy hell.” “Mike, the reason to all of that? I feel like we’re on the cusp of greater things. We’re in the catbird seat, waiting for our next challengers. I feel that I can speak for my partner that with this storm coming, we need to weather it. We’ve worked too hard to establish this division for others to marginalize us. We’ve already shown the Criterion what NSFW means. Contemplate this, Starlets. Mike and I as a unit have not been pinned or submitted since last May. And maybe the good times can’t last forever but I can’t fathom the circumstances where a pair that are so muddled by their fears and insecurities will have enough to stop this ride. One could consider that arrogance. It’s a possibility. Every time I step into that ring, I feel more and more convinced that all of this - was destiny.” And on the surface, that is exactly what it meant. But John’s words splintered into a duality that Mike would only be privy to. “And we ain’t the type to let anyone- from three sick fucks with delusions of grandeur to a pair of sweet little cowboy cousins- tromp all over the will of the universe.” Her hand, just out of the view of the camera, slipped into his. Acknowledging the secondary meaning of what John had just said. “Twinkle twinkle, little Starlets. Fight us with all your might, and maybe you’ll shine bright enough to beat us. But with the mood we’re in?” Mike shook her head, expression grim. “I seriously fucking doubt it.” That hard expression remained on the faces of both champions as the picture faded to black.

FALL OUT BOY - MANIA (ALBUM REVIEW)

"M A N I A" is the seventh studio album to be released by this Alternative Pop Punk outfit from Illinois, United States. It's very clear that on this release, the four piece were wanting to make a dramatic departure from their earlier material in terms of musical direction. There's everything here from EDM (Electronic Dance Music), Ska/Reggae, R&B, Hip-hop, Electro-pop, Trap music and Alternative/Indie. Whilst for the most part this album is very bold and ambitious in its intentions, there are also moments where it sounds like a chaotic mess and feels very inconsistent.

The band selected quite a number of different producers for this record including Jesse Shatkin, D. Sardy, Butch Walker, Illangelo, Andrew Wells and Fall Out Boy themselves. MANIA was intended for a September 2017 release but got delayed several months as "The album just really isn't ready, and it felt very rushed," (Quote from Patrick Stump, wikipedia page). Overall, this album is very much a mixed bag but certainly has some quality tracks on it.

Here is my track-by-track review of MANIA...

1. Stay Frosty Royal Milk Tea...This track begins with some overpowering electronic drum beats but unfortunately the first of many awkward lyrics threatens to ruin it entirely (Are you smelling that shit? Repeated 8 times!). Not the best way to open the album. 6/10

2. The Last of The Real Ones...By contrast, this track is much stronger both lyrically and musically with some groovy rhythmic keyboards and a rollicking guitar riff throughout. Vocalist Patrick Stump delivers some of the best lyrics of the album here (I wonder if your therapist knows everything about me). The song itself is about finding a genuine person to fall in love with. 9/10

3. Hold Me Tight or Don't...Here is the first taste of how experimental FOB have pushed themselves on this record with a catchy tropical reggae-pop beat throughout the track. Sadly the same can't be said for the lyrics which veer into WTF? territory (I want to sleep on every piece of fuzz and stuffing that comes out of you). But if you can get past that, it's a great track. 8/10

4. Wilson (Expensive Mistakes)...This track is probably the closest you're going to get to a "traditional" Fall Out Boy track. It's also got one of the best one-liners on the whole album as well (I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker colour). Musically, it just trudges along until it hits a catchy sing-a-long chorus which saves it from complete tedium. 8/10

5. Church...This is yet another bold and daring track complete with organs, bells and a sampled gospel backing choir which all feel very appropriate. Lyrically, there are metaphors abound particularly during the chorus (If you were church, I'd get on my knees). Definitely not subtle! 8.5/10

6. Heaven's Gate...Similar to the above track however this is where things begin to fall apart structurally with a painfully long held note from Patrick opening the song and some far from subtle references to getting high on drugs (Would you give me a boost over Heaven's gate...You're one habit I just can't kick). Not their best. 7/10

7. Champion...Another really strong track both musically and lyrically. The opening seems to be inspired by the Rocky theme song and the chorus is very punchy and intense. It's a very inspiring and empowering song hence why I probably like it so much (If I can live through this, I can do anything). 9.5/10

8. Sunshine Riptide...Now we go from the best song on the album to the worst. I have no idea what FOB were thinking. Adding autotune to Patrick's vocals during the verses was a terrible idea as was throwing guest rapper Burna Boy (God knows what the fuck he's rapping about). The only thing that slightly redeems the track is the punchy chorus probably as they remove the autotune from Patrick's vocals. 5/10

9. Young and Menace...When I first heard this track, I legitimately had mixed feelings about it as I really wanted to like it. However, the chorus nearly kills the entire vibe of the song with it's screechy, high-pitched vocals and chopped up beats. What's worse is that you have to endure it for near 30 seconds. The verses work much better with a neat reference to Britney Spears (Oops, I did it again, I forgot what I was losing my mind about). 7.5/10

10. Bishops Knife Trick...Thankfully the album finishes on a high note after some really average moments. It starts off really laid-back before it opens up to a soaring, powerful chorus. It also shows off Patrick's range as a vocalist (These are the last blues we're ever gonna have. Let's see how far we get). I just wish the whole album was as consistent as this track is. 8.5/10

OVERALL SCORE: 75/100

Standout Tracks: The Last of the Real Ones, Church, Champion, Bishops Knife Trick.
