The Explosion

Warnings: None

You packed the bags frantically as you chatted on the phone in a group phone call with Nat (Clint right next to her), Steve, and Fury.

"You need to get out of that house now Agent Stark." Fury demanded. "Stop packing bags."

"I have to pack at least one bag for Everleigh." You snapped anxiously. "I know we're in danger, I get it."

"How is Stark so stupid?" Nat sighed in exasperation. "Who gives their home address to a terrorist?"

"Where are you guys headed?" Steve asked. "I've got a small apartment."

"And SHIELD is always open, so long as Stark doesn't give the addresses of that place." Fury growled.

"I don't know yet. I think Jarvis said Tennessee." You zipped up the bag, the phone still on as you carried the bag and dropped it over the banister. "Huh? Someones here?"

"Who?" They all asked. You put the phone in your hand and ran down the stairs.

"Tony?" You shouted. "Is somebody there?"

"Yeah." Tony's voice shouted up. "It's Maya Hansen. Old botanist pal. That I used to know, barely."

"Uh huh. Knew her body." Clint muttered and there was a sound like Nat was hitting him.

"I'm sorry," You said, not in the mood for ex girlfriends to show up on his doorstep now that his address was publicly known. "with Happy in the hospital, I didn't know we were expecting guests-"

"We weren't"

"And old girlfriends-"

"She's not really."

"No, not really. It was just one night."

"Yep." Tony agreed.

You weren't in the mood. "We're going out of town."

"Okay. We've been through this. Nope." Tony said.

"Yep! Fury will kill me if we don't." You argued.

"The man says no."

"Immediately and indefinitely."

"Tell Stark he's an idiot." Fury said in your earpiece.

"Honey-"

"Great idea." Maya said. "Let's go."

"I'm sorry, that's a terrible idea. Please don't touch her bags."

You shifted Everleigh in your arms. "Tony, we have a daughter okay. We're leaving. This is how normal people behave."

"I can't protect you out there!" Tony protested.

"Is- Is that normal?" Maya asked and you both looked over to see her point at the bunny rabbit.

"Yes, this is normal!" Tony shouted, angry now.

"Very normal." You agreed.

"Stark, get your ass out of there." Fury growled.

"It's a big bunny! Relax about it!" Tony continued to shout.

"Calm down." You growled. "You're going to wake Everleigh. I'm serious Tony. We have got to go. We have places we can go. Steve-"

"Oh? And what did the great Captain America-"

"Stop that Tony. He's our friend-"

"You're to buddy buddy with him."

"That's not fair." you replied hotly. "How many girlfriends do you have? I think it's only fair I have some friends too!"

"Er- sorry." Steve muttered in your ear.

"Guys?" Maya asked.

"What?" Tony asked.

"Do we need to worry about that?"

You looked at the TV to see something racing towards your house. You gripped Everleigh tighter and turned to see the glass explode and you were lifted off your feet.

You flew through the air, yelling out because you didn't want Everleigh to get hurt and you were struggling to keep a hold on her. You were suddenly hit with pieces of the Iron man suit and you were completely protected when you landed harshly.

"STARK!" Fury shouted in your ear while the other three shouted your name.

"I'm okay." You gasped out, getting the face plate down. Everleigh was crying, but she wasn't hurt.

"Tony!" You shouted, watching the ceiling crack above his head. Shoving Everleight under the table, you quickly got over him so that the ceiling broke and crumbled around you.

"I got you." You whispered.

"I got you first." Tony whispered back and then said, "Like I said, we can't stay here."

"You idiot." Fury grumbled on the other side of the line.

More missiles came in through the house, sending Tony flying across the room. You held Everleigh tightly in your arms.

"Move! I'm right behind you!"

Except he wasn't, the floor giving way so that there was a chasm between the two of you.

"Get her." Tony shouted, pointing at the unconscious Maya. "I'm gonna find a way around. Stop stopping. Get her. Get outside." Tony said. "Go!"

You hurried to Maya's side, helping her up with one arm. You knew that if it came between Everleigh and Maya, you'd drop Maya in a heartbeat. But if you could save her too, then that was the best option.

You could not figure out how to use the blasters, figuring it was fine if you didn't use them anyways. You accidentally fired one somehow, blasting the three of you forward.

Maya took the brunt of the impact, then you, with Everleigh landing on top of you. You weren't sure how soft the landing was though, considering you were made of metal.

"Y/N? What's happening?" Nat asked, "We're seeing in on the TV of course but-"

"Tony's still inside." You gasped, getting to your feet, debating between staying out with your daughter, or shoving her into Maya's arms and going back in for him.

Suddenly, you were spun around as the Iron man pieces flew away from your body and towards Tony who was in the house. You fell to your knees and held Everleigh close.

"What's happening?" You asked into the com.

"Tony took one of the helicopters out with a piano." Clint informed you. "There's two left."

"He just took out the second one." Nat informed you, but you could see the spiraling helicopter and gasped when it slammed into the house.

You ran through the ruined house and to the edge of the cliff. "TONY!"

He was gone.

🎃 ::::: 🧡 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🧡 ::::: 🎃

"Sir?"

Ugh. Jarvis' voice was so far away. . .

"Sir!"

Why wasn't it Y/N that was waking him up.

A beeping noise was ringing in his ears.

"All right, kill the alarm. I got it." He muttered, attempting to open his eyes, while also feeling like he was trapped in a small space.

"That's the emergency alert triggered by the power dropping below 5%." Jarvis warned him as Tony was greeted with data charts and he realized that he was inside of his suit.

"Oh." He gasped, looking past the data to see that he was flying high in the air. He could see a singular car down below with headlights. Snow was falling thick around him.

"Oh!" He groaned. He screamed as he hit the road, narrowly avoiding the car, bouncing off the road, hitting the snow, and then continued to tumble through the forest. Alternating between spinning, and also attempting to use his blasters, he crashed into several trees before he crashed onto his face in the middle of a small clearing.

He rolled over with a heavy thump onto his back, gasping heavily for breath. He tried to remember what the last thing he could remember was. Falling into the water, right? He'd run out of oxygen and he must have passed out. Unless he simply fell asleep from exhaustion and a lack of sleep prior to now.

He lifted his face plate off, feeling the cold air hit his face. His face felt sticky and he could smell blood.

"It's snowing right? Where are we, upstate?"

"We are five miles outside of Rose Hill, Tennessee." Jarvis informed him.

"Why?" He asked angrily. "Jarvis. Not my idea. What are we doing here? This is thousands of miles away! I gotta get Y/N! I gotta get-"

"I prepared a flight plan. This was the location." Jarvis said calmly.

"Who asked you?" Tony grumbled. "Open the suit."

"I- I think I may be malfunctioning, sir."

"Open it J." He demanded.

He sat up once the suit had finished and he gasped at the stunningly harsh cold that hit him. "That's brisk." He blew on his hands which were already starting to become numb.

He did put some ice on his wrist, which was stinging, and then went to lay back down saying, "Maybe I'll just cozy back up for a bit-"

"I actually think I need to sleep now, sir." Jarvis said in a weak voice.

"Jarvis!" Tony shouted, hearing the whirring power down. "Jarvis? Don't leave me, buddy."

There was no answer and Tony knew that the only thing he could do now, was go on. He used rope to hook under the suits arms, dragging it behind him as he walked in the direction he had been heading before he'd fallen so gracefully out of the sky.

His thoughts remained on Y/N and Everleigh. They were safe, weren't they? He would know somehow if they weren't. He knew Y/N had gotten out of the building. Probably Maya too. And he knew that she had to know that he was alive because of their soulmate bond.

He finally made it to a small, desolate gas station called Texaco. There was an ice machine out front, along with a wooden Indian wearing a poncho and holding a hatchet. There was also an old phone booth out in front, and he was glad that he had change on him, though he wasn't sure why he did.

He took the poncho from the Indian first, putting the soft material over his head. It wasn't to much protection from the fierce wind, but at least it was warm.

And then he called Y/N.

"Y/N, it's me. I've got a lot of apologies to make, and not a lot of time. So, first off, I'm so sorry I put you in harms way. And not just you, but Everleigh too. That was selfish and stupid, and it won't happen again. Also, I know you liked the rabbit, but it's Christmas time and it's to big. Done. Sorry. I'll get you something else when I get back. And, I'm sorry in advance because, I can't come home yet. I need to find this guy. You gotta stay safe, keep Everleigh safe too. That's all I know. I just stole a poncho from a wooden Indian. I love you."

The next step was breaking into the closest wooden shed that he could find. Looking around, he saw that he had chosen the perfect one, because there was so much useful crap on the tables and walls that he could use to repair the suit.

He heaved the Iron man suit up onto the sofa that was in there, breathing heavily.

"Let's get you comfy." He muttered, sitting down next to the suit. It was scraped up and busted. He was going to have to do a lot with it. "You happy?" He turned the face away from him as he collapsed into the couch.

He didn't stay there for long, eventually moving over to the table to use the pilers and pull shrapnel from his arm.

"Freeze!" A little kids voice shouted and Tony looked up, though he wasn't frightened by any means. He saw that the kid was holding a plastic potato gun from the looks of it. "Don't move."

"You got me." Tony said, spreading his hands. There was silence and he said, "Nice potato gun. Barrel's a little long. Between that and the wide gauge it's gonna diminish your FPS. "

The kid aimed the gun upwards and there was the sound of shattering glass as he broke it without even looking.

Tony put his hands down. "And now you're out of ammo."

"What's that thing on your chest?" The kid asked.

"It's an electromagnet." Tony responded. "You should know. You got a box of them right here." He tapped the box he was talking about.

"What does it power?"

Tony hesitated, before getting up from the table and turning the light towards the Iron man suit he had been hiding behind him.

The kid's face lit up, putting his potato gun aside and cried, "Oh my God! That. . . That's. . . is that Iron man?"

"Technically, I am." Tony responded.

"Technically, you're dead." The kid said, raising a newspaper up to him.

Tony quickly unrolled the newspaper and saw the bold headline: MANDARIN ATTACK: STARK PRESUMED DEAD

Tony knew that Y/N had to know that he was alive though. The bonds didn't lie. She must be covering for him, letting them think he was dead. She would have known that he would go after the Mandarin.

"Valid point." He said.

"What happened to him?" The kid asked behind him.

"Life. I built him. I take care of him." Tony said, scanning the newspaper. It seemed both Y/N and Everleigh were fine. He tossed the newspaper to the side. "I'll fix him."

"Like a mechanic?" The kid asked and Tony saw that the kid had turned it's head so that it was facing him.

"Yeah."

"Hmm." the kid said, turning the head again. "If I was building Iron Man and War Machine-"

"It's Iron Patriot now."

"That's way cooler!"

"No, it's not."

"Anyways, I would have added in, um, the retro-"

"Retro-reflective panels?" Tony asked quickly.

"To make him stealth mode."

"You want a stealth mode?"

"Cool, right?"

"That's actually a good idea. Maybe I'll build one."

The kid pulled at the fingers and broke one off.

"Not a good idea!"

"Oops."

"What are you doing? You're gonna break his finger? He's in pain. He's been injured. Leave him alone." Tony sighed.

"S-sorry."

"Are you?" The kid looked up at him, the small smile falling from his face. "Don't worry about it, I'll fix it. So, uh, who's home?"

"Well, my mom already left for the diner and Dad went to 7- 11 to get scratchers. I guess he won, because that was six years ago."

Tony felt pity for the boy. "Hmm. Which happens. Dads leave. No need to be a pussy about it. Here's what I need. A laptop, a digital watch, a cellphone, the pneumatic actuator from your bazooka over there, a map of town, a big spring, and a tuna fish sandwich."

"What's in it for me?"

"Salvation. What's his name?"

"Who?"

"The kid that bullies you at school. What's his name?"

"How'd you know that?"

"I got just the thing." Tony said, not answering. He went over to the Iron Man suit and pulled out one of the weapons. "This is a pinata for a cricket. I'm kidding. This is a very powerful weapon. Point it away from your face, press the button on top, it discourages bullying. Non-lethal, just to cover one's ass. Deal?" He waved the weapon around as the kid tried to grab it. "Deal? What do you say?"

"Deal."

"Deal?"

"What's your name?" Tony asked as the kid took and looked at the weapon.

"Harley. And you're-"

"The mechanic." He looked over at the kid. "Tony." There was another moment of silence. "You know what keeps going through my head? 'Where's my Sandwich'?"

🎃 ::::: 🧡 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 🧡 ::::: 🎃

"Why were you at the house tonight?" You asked as you drove down the highway. Everleigh was fast asleep in the back of the car in her car seat. You were driving to Colorado where Nat and Clint were vacationing at the moment. Steve was going to fly out and join you all until Tony got back. Between the three of them, Fury, and yourself, you were the only ones that knew for sure that Tony had survived.

Maya sat in the seat next to you, her face still slightly bloody and bruised from the explosion.

"What was so important that you had to speak to Tony?"

"I think that my boss is working for the Mandarin." Maya said in a rushed voice.

On the steering wheel, you quickly clicked a button that activated your phone. It would send voice recordings to the group chat.

"So, if you still want to talk about it I suggest that we get ourselves someplace safe." Maya said.

You blinked, "Your boss works for the Mandarin, you think? But Tony says you're a botanist. So-"

"That figures. What I actually am is a biological DNA coder running a team of 40 out of a privately funded think tank. But sure, you can call me a botanist."

You wrinkled your nose. "Another DNA coder huh. This boss of yours, does he have a name?"

"Yeah, Aldrich Killian."

You snorted, "I knew I couldn't trust him. I told Fury something was up with him and he didn't believe me."

"Well," Maya said softly. "Now you have your proof. What are we doing now?"

"Colorado." You said. "We can meet some friends of mine there. They'll help us out just as well as Tony could."

"Mm." Maya hummed, and stared out the passenger window.

Take in the beauty of old-world Italy while you enjoy all the comforts and excitement of modern-day Las Vegas.

UNDER THE CUT YOU’LL FIND THE LIST OF ALL THE ROOMMATES.

The roommates were done by a RANDOM generator. Except for the people who were on the ship list and who messaged us requesting a specific roommate.

If you do not see your characters name on this list, or if you happen to get paired with one of the other characters you play - please message us POLITELY and let us know - the generator was a little weird, but hopefully, everyone is accounted for - if not, we’ll fix it, don’t worry :)

Remember, we are NOT mandating threads to be completed during this trip, however, we do expect everyone to reach out to their roommates, people you don’t normally talk to, etc, and simply branch out. If this goes well, we may do future trips without a mandated thread. However, if this doesn’t go well we will go back to mandating threads. We are trusting you all with this.

Please be mindful that we have an activity check before the trip, so do expect some changes! If your partner goes inactive or leaves the roleplay during the trip - the list will not be updated. Your FC just will no longer have a roommate for the duration of the trip to avoid confusion since this is only a weekend trip and not a week. However, if we get new members come in during the trip, they will be added to the roommates list accordingly.

Those on hiatus during the trip and reduced activity were not included in this list - but they must just state that their characters are on the trip. However, if those on reduced activity or on hiatus can get online during the trip to rp - you’re more than welcome to!

So, that being said - please LIKE THIS POST so you can not only keep track of this list but also so we know you read this notice.

Today we have recommendations from a guest reviewer: Professor Jennifer L. Campbell from the Department of Biological Sciences at NC State University. Over the years, Jenny has won awards and accolades as a zoologist at a number of institutions, but her main claim to fame here is that she’s the Old Man’s beloved little sister. Enjoy!

Nature with some history and science mixed in - both old school classics and some new takes.

Nature - a combo of beautiful and uplifting titles mixed with doom and gloom

Sand County Almanac by Aldo Leopold

Pilgrim at Tinker Creek by Annie Dillard

Silent Spring by Rachel Carson

Untamed: The Fight For Cumberland Island by Will Harlan

Animals - but with science! Not “fuzzy animals are great” books but books that explain the world from the animals’ perspective

Of Wolves and Men by Barry Lopez

Animals in Translation by Temple Grandin

Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat by Hal Herzog

Familiar Faces from the 5th Dimension

Getting a role on The Twilight Zone was a hot ticket, particularly in its first few years. Rod Serling had built up considerable cache with his well-received teleplays for drama anthology shows like Playhouse 90 and The Desilu Playhouse (where The Time Element originally appeared) and the Peabody-winning Requiem for a Heavyweight. Twilight Zone features appearances from lots of big-name actors from film, television, and radio as well as actors that would go on to become household names.

Often when this sort of topic is covered, the discussion centers on future award-winning film actors like the Roberts Redford and Duvall so I thought I’d take a moment to celebrate the small screen. Below is a sampling of familiar faces between The Twilight Zone and some other hugely popular mid-century television shows: Bewitched, Star Trek, and Batman.

BELOW THE JUMP

Bewitched (1964-1972)

In addition to some shared directors, most of the major stars of Bewitched appeared on The Twilight Zone. The Bewitched cast made out very well for themselves in the 5th dimension: their episodes are all good to great!

Dick York (Darrin Stephens)

in A Penny for your Thoughts 2.16 as Hector B. Poole and in The Purple Testament 1.19 as Capt. Phil Riker

Two very different stories here, both about psychic powers. Penny is a funny, screwball sort of episode about a hapless bank employee unexpectedly gifted with telepathy and Testament follows a soldier who starts getting premonitions of who’ll die next. If you like York’s Derwood mugging, you’ll love Penny.

Agnes Moorehead (Endora)

in The Invaders 2.15 as the Woman

If you read my Twilight Zone post from yesterday, you know this one is an all-time fave of mine. Moorehead still has loads of witchy energy in this episode, albeit a very different, unglamorous kind of witchy.

Elizabeth Montgomery (Samantha Stephens)

in Two 3.01 as the Woman (but y’know a different one from Agnes…)

Montgomery and Charles Bronson play two lone soldiers on opposite sides of a war that has ended in apocalypse. The story works through what happens to those soldiers when there’s little more to fight over. It’s a very Rod Serling concept though I’m lukewarm on the resolution. Now, Inger Stevens is great in The Lateness of the Hour, but I always wonder about how great Montgomery would have been in the role.

David White (Larry Tate)

in I Sing the Body Electric 3.35 as George Rogers

I also covered this episode in yesterday’s post. White’s character in I Sing couldn’t be further from the selfish and obtrusive Larry Tate and it’s fun to see him as a sympathetic single dad trying to do what’s best for his kids.

Small Roles: Sandra Gould (Gladys Kravitz #2) in Cavender is Coming 3.36 & What’s in the Box 5.24, Alice Pearce (Gladys Kravitz #1) in Static 2.20.

Honorable Mention goes to Maurice Evans (Maurice) in Planet of the Apes (1968) as Dr. Zaius because Rod Serling wrote the screenplay.

Star Trek (1966-1969)

Star Trek and The Twilight Zone have a ton of cast in common, especially when you include guest spots. Half of the Enterprise’s bridge crew appeared on The Twilight Zone and even their engineer. Unlike with the Bewitched stars, the Star Trek actors have a spotty record on Twilight Zone. Both of Shatner’s episodes are true classics, but Nimoy and Takei are in some troubling territory.

Twilight Zone writers George Clayton Johnson and Richard Matheson also wrote episodes of Star Trek, respectively The Man Trap and The Enemy Within.

William Shatner (James T. Kirk)

In Nick of Time 2.07 as Don Carter and Nightmare at 20,000 Feet 5.03 as Bob Wilson

Bit of Trivia: When Richard Matheson wrote Nightmare, knowing Shatner would likely star, he wanted to make Bob Wilson Don Carter following his inevitable nervous breakdown after Nick of Time. When Patty Breslin was unavailable for Nightmare, the plan was scrapped.

Leonard Nimoy (Spock)

in A Quality of Mercy 3.15 as Hansen

A jingoistic WWII soldier (Dean Stockwell) is all-too eager to kill and it takes a Freaky Friday situation for him to learn a lesson about mercy. Nimoy’s role is a small one here, but maybe that’s a good thing.

James Doohan (Scotty)

in Valley of the Shadow 4.03 as a Father

A reporter takes a wrong turn roundabout Albuquerque and finds himself in a town with a secret. He makes the mistake of asking questions after Doohan’s daughter disappears his dog and things get messy from there. Valley of the Shadow is one of the best episodes from this season of drawn-out stories and it often feels like a Star Trek plot.

George Takei (Sulu)

in The Encounter 5.31 as Arthur Takamori

Just don’t.

Small Roles (too many to mention): Susan Oliver (Vina from Star Trek’s pilot) in People Are Alike All Over 1.25, Arlene Martel (T’Pring) in Twenty-Two 2.17 and What You Need 1.12.

Batman (1966-1968)

We never had the pleasure of the caped crusader himself on The Twilight Zone, but we do have two of his greatest nemeses and his butler.

Burgess Meredith (The Penguin)

in Time Enough at Last 1.08 as Henry Bemis and in Mr. Dingle, the Strong 2.19 as Mr. Dingle and in The Obsolete Man 2.29 as Romney Wordsworth and in Printer’s Devil 4.09 as Mr. Smith

Burgess Meredith is tied with Jack Klugman for most starring spots on The Twilight Zone; Meredith’s episodes hew more toward the humorous though. Printer’s Devil is probably the least seen of Meredith’s appearances and that’s a shame. He’s got a cigarillo-chomping menace that builds steadily throughout the story.

Julie Newmar (Catwoman)

in Of Late I Think of Cliffordville 4.14 as Miss Devlin

A bored robber baron cuts a deal with the devil (Newmar) to go back in time to his hometown so he can change a thing or two about his past. Unfortunately for him, even non-traditional Faustian bargains have their pitfalls. Newmar is spectacular as the sly and charming “travel agent.” You can definitely see some roots of what Newmar would later put into her portrayal of Catwoman.

Alan Napier (Alfred)

in Passage on the Lady Anne 4.17 as Capt. Protheroe

A young couple books passage on the wrong ship according to all the strange elderly people on the ship. Passage is a spooky concept that’s just too drawn out. This would have made a very memorable 30-minute episode though.

Small Roles: Stafford Repp (Chief O’Hara) in Nick of Time 2.07 and in The Grave 3.07 and in Caesar and Me 5.28.

Many many one-time special guest villains also appeared!

These are just a few fun shows that followed The Twilight Zone and have more than a smattering of cast and crew in common. It’s the tip of the iceberg, really. The Beverly Hillbillies also had a ton of crossover performers, but since the Clampetts aren’t psychics or villains, the connections aren’t quite as fun to make!

I don’t think so anyway...

Zurich Press Release - https://paulwesleychronicles.com/zurich-press-release/ #PaulWesley

New Post has been published on https://paulwesleychronicles.com/zurich-press-release/

Zurich Press Release

Paul Wesley of The CW’s “Vampire Diaries” & Austin Smith of Broadway’s Hamilton and An Octoroon Join the World Premiere of Colt Coeur’s

ZÜRICH By Amelia Roper

Directed by Adrienne Campbell-Holt Recipient of the 2018 Lortel Visionary Director Award Presented as part of New York Theatre Workshop’s

Inaugural NEXT DOOR Series April 14-May 5, 2018 Opening Night set for Tuesday, April 17 th The Fourth Street Theater 79 East 4 th Street New York, New York 10003

Colt Coeur is thrilled to announce that Zürich, a new play by Amelia Roper and directed by Adrienne Campbell-Holt (The Women’s Project’s What We’re Up Against, Colt Coeur’s Dry Land), will make its world premiere as part of the company’s 2017-2018 season. Presented as part of New York Theatre Workshop’s inaugural NEXT DOOR series, Zürich will begin performances on Saturday, April 14, 2018 at The Fourth Street Theatre (located at 79 East 4 th Street, between Cooper Square and 2 nd Avenue), with a final performance set for May 5, 2018. Opening night has been set for Tuesday, April 17, 2018.

Zürich is a series of two-handers, as hotel guests enjoy the last moments of their private, awkward, funny and not-so- funny lives. Grappling with nationalism, tourism, social responsibility, isolation, class and gender expectations, the play asks — in a time of global crisis, what does neutrality mean for a country full of banks? For any of us?

Zürich will star an ensemble cast that includes Samantha Blair Cutler (Dear Evan Hansen), Sami Molly Bray, Juliana Canfield, Gregory Diaz IV, Renata Friedman, Carolyn Holding, Lynne Lipton (Colt Coeur’s How to Live on Earth), Austin Smith (Hamilton on Broadway, An Octoroon at Soho Rep), Matthew Stadelmann (Colt Coeur’s Dry Land), and Paul Wesley (“Vampire Diaries,” Cal in Camo (Colt Coeur/Rattlestick)).

Zürich will feature scenic design by John McDermott, costume design by Tilly Grimes, lighting design by Grant Yeager, sound design by Brendan Aanes, properties by Samantha Shofner, and production management & technical direction by Daniel Prosky. The production will be produced by Colt Coeur, with Jessica Rieken serving as Line-Producer and Shannon Buhler serving as Associate Producer. In addition, Abbie Betts will serve as Production Stage Manager with Katie Cecil Cairns as Assistant Stage Manager.

Tickets for Zürich, starting at just $20, are available for purchase online at https://www.nytw.org/show/zurich/tickets/?spektrix_bounce=true For more information about Colt Coeur and Zürich, please visit www.coltcoeur.org

Grosses memory: My life isn't exactly an interesting one full of gross stories, but one time a person my mom knew made a shit joke about her food and then for some reason I thought that he meant there was shit in the food so I didn't wanna swallow it and eventually I was just chewing and chewing mush. So my mom was getting angrier and angrier and me and I was in tears and then I threw up and got sent to bed.

Hogwarts house: Hufflepuff, took the pottermore test on a whim once and that's what I got.

In love: Sometimes.

Killed someone: I have a bit of a temper, but I cry whenever someone so much as seems like they're upset with me and I think too much about it. So, no.

Worst habit: I bite my nails, I'm loud, I cry a lot.

X-rays: Have to get some more done in a bit in order to further monitor my scoliosis. (It's very slight, one of my shoulders is the littlest bit higher than the other.)

Tartan pride celebrated nationwide and in Hawaii, too

Tartan Day is a North American celebration of Scottish heritage, observed April 6, the date on which the Declaration of Arbroath (Scottish Declaration of Independence) was submitted to Pope John XXII, in 1320. It was written in Latin, and essentially decreed Scots will choose their own king, and furthermore, Scotsmen rejected the propaganda that God desired the English kings to victimize and abuse them. Among the signatories of this papal protest was Walter Stewart, 6th High Steward of Scotland, the progenitor of my ancestors, the Stewart Kings of Scotland. Throughout the North American Continent, Tartan Day was celebrated this past weekend.

There are well over 4,000 tartan designs that are registered. However, there are only about 500 tartans that have ever been woven. The most exclusive is the Balmoral, worn only by the Royal Family of The United Kingdom. Queen Victoria made wearing tartans popular; bringing back a tradition that was once banned, following the Battle of Culloden in 1746. She dressed all her sons in kilts regularly. Prince Alfred Ernest Albert, Duke of Edinburgh, was the second son of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. On August 2, 1869, this Duke of Edinburgh (called Affie by his parents) arrived in Honolulu. The kilted Duke was feted by King Kamehameha V, the future Queen Liliuokalani, and the Queen Dowager Emma, with whom Prince Affie danced at a magnificent ball held in the original Iolani Palace. The tartan-clad prince was so popular, the city’s leaders named one of Honolulu’s streets for him – Edinburg Street, which was the block of Bishop Street between Queen Street and Ala Moana Boulevard. Of course, Beretania (the Hawaiian word for Britannia) was already taken, for it was the road leading to the British Consul, and the community where Brits lived. The area where the British consulate stood in 1843 is now Washington Place, the historic home of Queen Liliuokalani. Before coming to the throne, Princess Lililuokalani along with Queen Kapiolani, attended Queen Victoria’s Golden Jubilee in London in 1887. The Hawaiian Royal family was one of Queen Victoria’s greatest admirers. Affie started a wave of Brito-mania that endured for decades.

With the rise of kilts, so to speak, Victorian clan chiefs adopted tartans for their respective clans. Later, individuals, organizations, and governments followed suit. There is even an official tartan for the State of Hawaii. British motifs have been popular in Hawaii for over two centuries – recall that the Union Jack of the British Empire is represented on the Hawaiian flag.

Members of The Saint Andrew’s Society of Hawaii, The Caledonian Society of Hawaii, Hawaiian Scottish Association, Friendly Sons of St. Patrick, and tartan-proud members of the Celtic community gathered at the Hawaii State Capitol to celebrate Tartan Day on April 6. The capitol is across the street from Washington Place, home to the original British community in Honolulu, and location for the formal dinner given to HM The Queen Elizabeth II on her Hawaiian visit. Although most people associate tartans with Scotland, they are popular in multiple Celtic nations. Dr. Nancy Smiley, MD, brought a variety of Celtic flags to the Capitol, which were gallantly flown, all day long, to celebrate Tartan Day.

Some of the tartan enthusiasts posed in front of the Father Damien statue, honoring the Catholic priest who gave his life helping Hawaiians afflicted by Hansen’s Disease (leprosy). The victims suffered the humiliation and injustice of being banished to Kalaupapa, on the island of Molokai, beginning in 1866. Scottish author Robert Louis Stevenson was a friend and guest to King David Kalakaua and Princess Victoria Kaiulani (heiress to the Hawaiian throne). The princess’ father was Archibald Cleghorn, a wealthy Scottish financier who married the king’s sister, Princess Likelike. Robert Louis Stevenson was the Stephen King or J. K. Rowling of his era, and he took a keen interest in Hawaii and her people. He traveled to Molokai for eight days and seven nights in 1889 to research the work of Father Damien, after which he published a scathing 6,000 word polemic attacking the way these patients were discarded like human garbage. Stevenson targeted Rev. Dr. Charles McEwan Hyde, a Congregationalist “Christian” who placed great importance on fashion and how he looked in public, but was rather hateful toward the Catholic Priest Damien, and, by consequence, Damien’s passionate devotion to the leprosy victims. At one point, Stevenson said he wanted to stab the good Reverend Hyde to death. A blood-soaked white shirt wouldn’t look so fabulous on the dapper Reverend Hyde, you know. The Scottish rebuke from Stevenson became the most famous account of Father Damien, featuring the future saint in the role of a European aiding a benighted and maltreated native people.

The famed Father Damien statue was unveiled at the Capitol Rotunda, almost exactly 50 years ago, on April 15, 1969. Damien’s story, as told by Stevenson, is an attestation to fiery Scottish tempers – a people who are resolute in standing against injustice, just like they did at Arbroath in 1320. And the statue is as hard as a hard-headed Scot – constructed from bronze. Bronze is generally harder than wrought iron. Not many craftsmen are able to produce works like this anymore. This piece was cast at a foundry in Viareggio, Italy, an area famous for creating sculptures, dating way back to 1541.

Marco Airaghi, who recently flew to Hawaii from Northern Italy, participated in the Tartan Day gathering. “The general area of Switzerland/Italian Alps/Austria is now accepted by anthropologists as being the aboriginal home of the Celtic peoples,” Airaghi said. “I’m a citizen of Italy, but Celtic passion runs deep in my soul, and these Hawaiian Celts are so much fun! They exhibit a lot of integrity, they work very hard, and they are highly compassionate. I like that.”
