"I too have travelled to higher realms..."

+1 Remote Viewers Division

GASTON MARTIN - "Please, officer! Don't encourage him!" He quickly turns to René. "Do spare us the cocaine fairy tales. The RCM isn't interested in them."

KIM KITSURAGI - "Yes, indeed. We are not here to investigate the drug trade of centuries past."

3. "Let's talk about something else."

RENÉ ARNOUX- "Right." The old man stands tall and proud, looking at you inquisitively.

4. [Composure - Legendary 14] What is it about this old soldier that makes him stand so proud?

-1 Threw the *boule* int the sea.

We have basically no chance of success here.

COMPOSURE [Legendary: Failure] - Still, all you see is an old soldier refusing to replace his uniform with a civilian attire.

-1 Morale

RENÉ ARNOUX- "Anything else I can assist you with, officer?" he asks impatiently. "We still have a game to finish."

5. "Thank you for your time!" [Leave.]

Ok. I'd really like to finish exploring the part of the map we have access to right now. We're gonna head south past Siileng.

Roy's Pawnshop. Fast Cash for Faster Times.

In the dumpster are a pair of Fingerless Gloves.

FINGERLESS GLOVES

+1 Electrochemsitry: Cigarette-stained fingertips

Gasoline-stained fingerless gloves in navy blue. They've been worn threadbare, but, being made of wool, still provide some warmth and comfort.

If we equip these and our Flare-Cut Trousers at the same time, we can pass Medium Electrochemistry checks.

WATER LOCK OUT OF ORDER UNTIL WEDNESDAY 7:15 AM

MAN ON WATER LOCK - "G'day to you, officers!"

A burly man hangs out by the water lock, carving up a generous serving of salami with an old hunter's knife. His eyes are fixed on a man stranded on the other side of the water lock -- and on an enormous billboard that has fallen down into the canal between them.

"First things first -- what are you doing here, man on the water lock?"

"Do you know what caused this wreckage?" (Point at the smashed billboard in the canal.)

[Leave.]

MAN ON WATER LOCK - "My friend Barry the Butcher is stuck on the other side of the water lock. I'm keeping him company -- and eating his salami."

BARRY THE BUTCHER - From the corner of your eye you see a man in a yellow shirt and grey overalls waving at you from across the canal. He seems disappointed about the wreckage on the water lock -- *and* the salami.

MAN ON WATER LOCK - "*Very* good stuff. Anything I can do for you, officer?" The man on the water lock picks the skin off a slice of a salami and takes a sizeable bite.

2. "Do you know what caused this wreckage?" (Point at the smashed billboard in the canal.)

MAN ON WATER LOCK - "I wasn't here to witness it, but those look like tyre tracks on that sign. Weird, huh? Then again, plenty of daredevil drivers in Revachol."

INLAND EMPIRE [Easy: Success] - The words *daredevil driver* sound ominous to you.

MAN ON WATER LOCK - "Too bad it also takes a year and a day to repair anything 'round here -- especially a water lock. The rest of the coast is closed off till then."

"Do you know what's further down the coast?"

"Can I have some of that salami?" (Point at his food.)

"Right, bye." [Leave.]

MAN ON WATER LOCK - "Well, there's the fishing village. An abandoned fish market. A bizarro church. Not much use to the congregation, though -- there always seems to be something wrong with it." He thinks for a moment.

"Yeah, not really much else. Just bombed-out ruins."

2. "Can I have some of that salami?" (Point at his food.)

MAN ON WATER LOCK - "Sure thing." He cuts off a slice of salami.

MAN ON WATER LOCK - "Want some too, officer?" he turns to the lieutenant.

KIM KITSURAGI - "Why not?" The lieutenant ponders the offer for a moment, then decides to go for it. He takes a slice of salami from the man and chews on it.

3. "Right, bye." [Leave.]

WATER LOCK CONTROL PANEL - A couple of indicator lights are missing from this control panel. Loose wires dangle from the now-vacant holes. In the middle is a lever -- beneath it, a small metal plaque.

VISUAL CALCULUS [Trivial: Success]- This panel usually closes the water lock, turning it into a bridge that lets you cross the canal -- but there's a crashed "Samaran butter" sign in the way. Pulling the lever *probably* won't do anything.

Pull the lever up.

[Leave.]

WATER LOCK CONTROL PANEL - You pull the lever all the way up until the metal clicks against the contact pins. You hear a soft *clunk*, then...

Push it HARDER.

Release the lever.

WATER LOCK CONTROL PANEL - Nothing happens. A cold gust of wind blowing in from the sea interrupts the silence of the situation.

KIM KITSURAGI - "Mm-hmm." The lieutenant hums to himself while staring at your activities.

2. Release the lever.

WATER LOCK CONTROL PANEL - A spring brings the lever back to its original position. You still need to close the water lock to get across the canal -- some other way.

New task: Close the water lock on Wednesday

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) [Trivial: Success] - Wasn't there a sign over there saying functionality will be restored on Wednesday morning?

2. [Leave.]

Hey, Man on water lock, what do you think about this?

"What's with the lever that does nothing?" (Point at the control panel next to him.)

MAN ON WATER LOCK - "It's supposed to operate the water lock, but as noted... it's all junk right now. Disabled because of the blockage."

"Why is it disabled?"

MAN ON WATER LOCK - "Safety measure. Turns out the panel needs a special key to be re-activated. Wouldn't want anyone moving the water lock with debris still in the channel."

"It'll be restarted on Wednesday morning." He nods his head towards the control panel. "You wanna do the honours when the time comes?"

"Do I ever!" (Nod enthusiastically.)

"We'll see... I'm not all that into manual labour."

MAN ON WATER LOCK - "Great! Just drop in on Wednesday if you want to see the water lock at work. They say the canal crew will be here at 07.15." He cuts a fresh slice from his salami.

TUTORIAL AGENT - The coast part of the map is inaccessible until day 3.

Butter sign down!

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) - A crumpled billboard reading "SAMARAN BUTTER" soaks in the canal. Two ugly lines mar the bright countenance of the blond boy depicted.

What is Samaran Butter?

[Visual Calculus - Medium 11] Attempt to reconstruct what happened here.

Nothing more to see here. [Leave.]

PERCEPTION (SIGHT) - Whatever it is, the boy on the billboard seems very happy about it.

2. [Visual Calculus - Medium 11] Attempt to reconstruct what happened here.]

+1 Ominous daredevil feeling.

VISUAL CALCULUS [Medium: Failure] - Just some tasteless advertising at the bottom of a canal. No use rubbernecking now.

3. Nothing more to see here. [Leave.]

Nagi 1000% believes Reo is the most beautiful man in the world 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️💜

[skunkes]

You get flustered at any man when you’re in public? Like at the grocery store?

not Any man i still have my own tastes but yea if i look at one for too long, like when i was going to the park and a man would jog past me and id have to avert my eyes lest i start Thinking... less about That Man specifically and more about men in general if this makes sense...

[harrowedsoup]

I love the Chef Gideon AU though.

Like…Love is stored in the basic bread and simple meals that Gideon carefully makes Harrow everyday. It’s the fact that Gideon spends just as long getting unseasoned foods just right as she does complex recipes, despite Harrow not truly enjoying food either way.

[tiredhermitgirl]

Something that frustrates me (in a chill way because it’s not that serious) is when you consider your favorite character to be the one that needs protecting and is babygirl but the majority if not all of the fandom consider them as the overprotective, possessive one because of either their physique or their personality in contrast with other characters.

Does that make sense? Like I guess the more mainstream term is the submissive and dominate or bottom and top but I don’t mean this in a sexual way.

It’s like… when the fandom writes your non favorite character in a way where everyone loves them and wants to protect them and then writes your favorite character as the jealous, possessive one that doesn’t really get a long with anyone and just wants to protect your non-favorite character.

It’s like that anime Fena: Pirate Princess if anyone has watched that! But like your favorite character is the guy who is super protective but you want them to be the one who is protected.

And like a good example of what I am trying to say is the Sk8 fandom. Langa is my favorite character and he was the one actively being preyed upon by this grown man and was put in dangerous situations but all I see in fanfic is “hurt reiki,” “reiki-centric,” “reiki needs a hug” and very little about Langa and I’m like “what about my boy?”

Petition to Unalive Backgrounds.

The title says it.

ORIGIN STORY TIME!!

Thanks to the recent hype, I'm being reabsorbed into the Blue Lock franchise/fandom. My sleep schedule has shifted back from 12:00AM to 3:00AM. I've been high off of endorphins reading the official paperbacks, and now hangovers are whooping my gluteus maximus. ;-;

Anyway, it all starts with my love for ma boi, Nagi. I read this series back in 2020 or 2021, and to this day, one of my favorite scenes is the one where he scores the first goal at the U-20 match. So, naturally, I wanted to set my new phone wallpaper as that!

30 minutes of Googling, Binging, and Pinteresting... nothing.

How?

IDK.

With no satisfactory wallpaper, I looked at my drawing tablet and thought, Well, fak it. Imma do it myself. *inserts Thanos meme*

And that's how the nightmare started. :D

I find my references, and BAM. Sketch done. Pretty EZ cuz I had a solid vision in mind already.

A quick greyscale filling and dramatic eye color.... and I was done!

But on hon hon! YOU FOOL!

Curled like a shrimp, I stared at my new lockscreen. (Maybe this is a lesson for me to never stare at my art for more than 5 minutes.) Strangely, I felt a churn of dissatisfaction (or midnight hunger).

Maybe I should add some more saturation.

Maybe I should try...

Adding the background?

And so, after two days of trying to draw grass and people instead of seeing their 3D counterparts (JK, I still had to go to work and utilize my vernacular amongst those fleshy beings)... I finally finished.

OK. Maybe not finished finished...

Who am I kidding? Give me another three minutes to stare at my new lock screen and I'll probably start learning Blender to 3D animate my wallpaper or background or smth.

Anyway, thanks for coming to my Ted Talk. UwU

*Yoinks you into a chokehold*

Who's your favorite Blue Lock character(s)? :D
