why is kopitar so underrated? maybe it's bc i'm not a kings fan (and that i'm quite new to the nhl), but i never hear anyone talk about him. as someone who wasn't following the league back in 2012-2014 i'm sure there was more of a buzz then, but he's doing really well right now, especially considering he is the same age as crosby and one of the best players on a (likely) playoff bound team. even if he isn't as good as crosby or ovi, he's still by far one of the best older guys in the league. ofc he doesn't have the same international prestige, but slovenia is a country that has been consistently promoted from and relegated to wc d1a, so he's not going to be winning medals at worlds or the olympics no matter how good he is. i am aware that hockey prestige tends to be focused more on north americans, so does the fact that he's not from NA - and more specifically not from a typical hockey nation - play into it? and how much longer do you reckon he'll play for? it would be nice to see him stick around for a bit longer as i'm quite keen on him (if you couldn't tell)

Why is he underrated? -> Your guess is as good as mine! probably even better than mine since I don't have the data or the expertise. I also just got here. AND im very biased lmao i think he's cool as fuck and so are the Kings... my sillies........

if you put a gun to my head I'd say i think lak play late night games + LA is not a Traditiional Hockey Market + also he is... not flashy?? <- probably why he's aged so well. he's not reliant on a speed/power game.

i dooo wonder how much of QB's emergence as a defensive center this season has to do with being around Kopi and learning from him... ough... i don't have enough of a skilled eye to tell.. i suppose my point is who the hell watching lak games except for me and the 2 moths and 3 dust bunnies that inhabit lak lb.

and I can't speak to NA biases except to shrug and say yeah I'd believe that. people love dismissing foreigners LOL!! xenophobia is all around us!! wheehehee!!!

How long will he play for? -> He's signed for 7M until 2025-26. He'll be 38 by then. He hasn't shown decline. He STILL leads the Kings in scoring (though right now that's by 1 point ahead of Kempe) and remains a locker room stalwart. His leadership, as far as I know, has never been in question. I can't see him asking for a trade or being dealt unwillingly seeing how well the whole team is playing and how he contributes to that.

Furthermore, much as I malign Jim Hiller for it, I do believe the lak youth movement has truly arrived <3 I'm so so so happy for Laferriere, Turcotte, Byfield, Clarke, Moverare, Helenius, Thomas, Lee.... Everything that could go right this season has gone right, with regards to bringing in so many of the Ontario boys (i LOVE home grown talent... love how weirdly attached they are to each other from marinating for years in the AHL)

Byfield in particular is taking on more responsibilities; just in the last couple games we've seen him butt heads with Kucherov's line as a matchup center and get rotated into Kopi's line when the Kings were in a pinch. He's gained Hiller's trust, skating just as many if not more minutes than Kopi. Going into the future this can only be a good thing for Kopi's longevity.

So given the team isn't on the decline, and the fact that Kopitar has remained remarkably healthy, and his game has never been dependent on being particularly fast/strong, and given there are young legs available to insulate him as he slows down... I'm gonna be bold and say if circumstances allow (cap, overall health, role) he plays into his 40 year old season in a reduced role <3

I hope he's a Kings lifer. He means so much to the org, to all the boys he's raised... I'm tearing up just thinking about it... ough...

thank you for dropping by!! A great reminder that i am NOT immune to beautiful goth gf...........

“Nath? Your client’ll be here in twenty minutes!” Kelsey shouted up the stairs to his flat on Tuesday morning, not able to hear him moving around. It was surprising to her, since he’d usually be pottering around in the shop by that point, kindly having set up her station and Chris’s, too. That morning, though, he was nowhere to be seen. “Gilly! Come on, you awake, mate?” 

She heard the thump of feet on the floor above, footsteps following, the door at the top of the stairs opening. “Gimme a minute. Overslept!” 

That was very unlike him. “Alright. I’m ordering from Subway. You want your usual?” 

Poached eggs with double cheese. “Yeah, yeah. Cheers, Kels. Won’t be long.” He wasn’t either, Kelsey putting in their order and seeing the little bike on the Uber Eats app moving closer towards the shop, Nathan emerging. He wasn’t alone either.  

“So, can I call you?”  

Stuffing his hands in his back pockets, his shoulders drew up, facing the girl with the braids that touched her bum as he shook his head. “Nah, sorry. Not really in the market for that.”  

“Fair enough. See ya.” she sniffed, exiting the shop.  

Kelsey looked between him and the door a few times, pointing in her wake. “Who the fuck was that?” 

“Shanay, I think she said.”  

Her eyebrow rose sharply. “And what happened to Holly?” 

A look of lascivious triumph quickly spread across his face. “She legit got dicked down good, bruv.”  

“Well, obviously!” she cackled, entertained as always when he was coarse since it seldom ever happened. “But I mean, you two looked so bloody cute on Saturday, and now you’re seeing some random to the door?”  

“Is what it is,” he sniffed.  

Oh, who was this person, and what had he done with her sweet Nathan? “So, not seeing her again, then? Holly, I mean?” 

“Never said that, did I?” Wow. That was prickly, for somebody as placid as him, Kelsey a little taken aback. Moving to his station, he began to set up. “I will at some point, but we’re just keeping it casual, seeing how it goes.” 

Baffled, she left it there, shaking her head. She’d been all set to hear him likely explode with happiness that finally, he’d got the girl he’d been so sweet on all the way through school, but his causal response truly wasn’t what she’d been expecting. Neither had the other girl emerging from his flat. Nathan was not, by any stretch of the imagination, a man who could be constituted as a player. 

Also, she knew he liked her, as in more than a casual shag liking her. Nobody knew him like she did, not even Chris. She could tell when her darling Gilly was absolutely smitten, and watching him with Holly three days before, he’d definitely been that. The fact that he’d gotten so wound up by his own nerves prior to her arriving at the bar had spelled that out clearly enough for her, too.  

This change in him, it was so puzzling. It would only continue to perplex her as well. 

When the food arrived, he demolished the sub with his usual gusto, giving her a big, greasy kiss on the cheek in thanks before moving to wash his hands, his first client of the day arriving. When he looked up at her, his jaw virtually unhinged itself. 

“Pissing hell,” he remarked as the woman arrived at the counter. “You look just like that girl from Arch Enemy.” 

It wasn’t the first time she’d heard it. “Yeah, people liken me to Alissa White-Gluz all the time. It’s the hair.” She spoke, gesturing to her mane of blue curls. “Right, where do you want me, then?” 

“On my bloody dick.” Her eyes widened, Nathan bobbing his tongue between his teeth with a naughty grin. “Sorry, did I say that out loud? Apologies.”  

Kelsey almost dropped the jar she was moving from one side of the shop to the other, hearing him speak with such little professionalism. And so uncouthly. That really wasn’t him. Chris? Yep. He was vulgar, but never with clients. Luckily for Nathan, though, the girl didn’t seem to mind at all.  

“You cheeky bugger!” she cried, laughing. “I’m going to have to keep my eye on you, aren’t I?”  

His grin continued to broaden. “You can keep whatever you like on me after I’ve finished your tattoo, I’m telling you.” Showing her to his station, she took a seat, Nathan grabbing a pen and beginning to mark out the freehand design he was doing for her, referring to a picture she’d sent to him previously. She wanted a big, colourful macaw parrot at the top of her arm that would eventually make up an entire rainforest sleeve, Nathan sharing ideas he had for it as he worked. And flirted. 

Boy, how the man flirted his arse off with her.  

Sitting at the lightbox station, Kelsey honestly couldn’t work him out. He’d been so into Holly just seventy-two hours before, both of them sitting there looking incredibly in tune with one another at the bar. Why was he blowing it by suddenly switching into man whore mode?  

Then again, he had said they were merely seeing how things went, but she truly couldn’t reconcile that if he was bedding other women at the rate he appeared to be. Surely, seeing how things went meant focusing on the person in question, and not waving one’s cock in the direction of any other pretty women?  

She knew his split from Lisa had hurt him deeply, Kelsey seeing those wounds open and bleeding before her after she’d kicked him out. He’d gone straight to her house, cried in her arms as she’d welcomed him into her home, and lain there with his head in Dawnii’s lap for the evening, her wife stroking his hair as she’d soothed his distress at his marriage crumbling apart.  

Running a hand through her cropped, dark blonde hair, she bit the inside of her cheek while continuing her drawing, her eyes moving to Nathan every so often. It just wasn’t him, and it was beginning to concern her.  

“I think he’s just blowing off some steam, babe,” her wife spoke a few hours later, she and Dawnii meeting up for lunch at the burger place across the street from the shop. Dabbing a fry into the liberal squeeze of mayonnaise on the side of her plate, she continued. “He’s had a rough time of it with Lisa. Maybe he just wants to cut loose and go a little wild?” 

Finishing her mouthful, she washed it down with a sip of coke. “I hear that, but Jesus Harold Christ, it’s just so far removed from my sweet little Nath. It’s the lack of professionalism that’s bugging me. Twice now, he’s been like it. That girl on Saturday and then this morning, his client asked him where he wanted her and he said on his dick!” 

Dawnii’s eyes rounded, her mouth dropping open. “Shut up!” 

“He said it.” 

“No!” she gasped. 

See? Even her wife was shocked. “I’m serious.” 

“But, but Nathan’s my cute puppy boy! He doesn’t speak like that. Well, sometimes he does and that’s why it’s always hilarious when he comes out with something filthy, because he’s just not like that. Not like big mouth in there,” she began, jerking her head in the direction of the shop, Chris working at his station on the right of the front windows. “Saying it to a client, though? Geez. He’ll get a name for himself. How did the woman he said it to react?” 

“Welcoming, luckily.” 

Grimacing, she picked up her milkshake. “He’s only got to say it to the wrong person, though, and he’ll be getting me too’d.” 

How right she was. And it wouldn’t be fair either, because Nathan was the furthest thing from any of those types of men. “This is what I’m concerned about. If he wants to go out and have a bombastic time shagging anything that moves, that’s his business. He’s thirty-four and I’m not his mother. But what he does in that shop is very much my business, Chris’s too.” 

“Agreed, babe. You’ve every right to make that your business.” They parted ten minutes later, Dawnii heading back to her car ready to go and pick up Flynn, the youngest of their children from nursery, Kelsey walking back into the shop. 

“Hiya, can I help?” she asked, seeing a man standing at the counter. 

“He’s waiting for Nath,” Chris spoke, looking away from the very large blackwork piece he was etching into his client’s chest, that particular field of tattooing his speciality.  

“And the erstwhile Nathan is where?” 

Chris pointed his tattoo machine upwards, Kelsey rolling her eyes, turning back to his client. “I apologise, give me a second. He’s probably just run over on his break and not realised.” 

“No worries, love.” the biker guy replied, smiling from beneath his bushy beard as she jogged to the back of the shop and up the stairs. She could hear it from halfway up, exactly what her friend was running over on... 

“Fuck, oh fuck, fuck, fuck yes!” Issy, the blue haired girl screamed, being piledriven from behind by Nathan in the messy tangle of bedsheets. “Oh, oh I love your cock. God, you fuck so damned hard!” 

He grinned, smacking her arse, driving into her with even more veracity than before. “And you love that too, getting railed hard, don’t you? Dirty girl.” Gritting, he moaned low, filling the condom as wave after intense wave lapped through him, hearing the sound of his door being hammered upon as he swam in delirium.  

“Nathan! Your client is here, hurry up!” 

“Ahh, pissing hell.” Quickly pulling out, he yanked the condom off, knotting it and throwing it into the bin before dressing rapidly. “Sorry, gotta move.”  

“No problem. This was fun, unexpected, too!”  

He didn’t reply to that, leaving her to quickly pull her dress and underwear back on as he went to the bathroom, washing his hands and face so he didn’t stink of her before showing her out.  

“Sorry to keep you waiting, bruv,” he apologised to his client, the burly biker watching the direction Issy walked in, looking back at Nathan with a rumbling laugh. 

“Nah, you ain’t, my man,” he chuckled. “Trust me, I’d have been all over that an’ all, pal!” 

If only somebody could actually chastise his behaviour, Kelsey thought, somebody external to her and Chris and maybe, it might give him a little pause for thought. Ideally, the large biker who had just sat down in the chair would have been ideal to teach him a lesson, the leather kutte he wore denoting him as the president of The Bandits MC. Then again, wild behaviour and outlaws often went hand in hand.  

“Nathan, that’s fucking perfect, man!” the outlaw in question spoke an hour later, admiring the rat skeleton tattoo upon his inner forearm once it was finished, beaming widely as he studied all the intricate details. “Thrilled with it, mate! Hey, listen. If any of you find yourselves over Ealing way, drop by the clubhouse. We run the garage on Beaumont Row. All of you are welcome for a few drinks. Having a meet on Friday, actually, if you fancy it?” 

Nathan shook the hand directed towards him. “Yeah, yeah, ‘kay. Might just take you up on that, bruv.” With him and Chris being free from seven and half past when Friday rolled around, they decided to head over as soon as the latter’s last client had left, arriving at the large garage just over half an hour later.  

“Right, so you’re the geezer who put the rat skeleton on Jeff, yeah?” A very short, but large man spoke upon them being greeted at the gates, the MC’s president ambling over to shake hands with them. 

“Yeah, yeah, bruv. Guilty as charged,” Nathan spoke, thanking Jeff for the bottle of beer he offered to him and Chris each. 

The man nodded rapidly, turning around. “See this ‘ere? Right fucking mess, innit? Can you cover it with sumat else?” 

Examining the very faded, poorly done tribal on the back of his skull, Nathan contemplated for a few moments. “Yeah, I can work with that. Depending on what you want.” 

The man who introduced himself as Denzil wasn’t the only one to approach him and Chris that evening, plenty of other club members all questioning them over availability, being shown their work, liking what they saw. They weren’t the only ones who liked what they saw either. 

“You, you are absolutely stunning,” a girl who had sauntered over to him spoke a short while later, scratching his thick goatee with her long nails, Nathan standing with his arm around her waist. “Do I get to take you home later?” 

He leaned down to her, teasing her lips with a soft kiss. “Maybe."  

“Ay, who’s this fucking man tart and where's me bruv gone, yeah?" Chris remarked, Nathan rumbling a chuckle as his kisses with the girl deepened. He wasn’t about to be distracted by Chris and his banter, but while the girl went back inside to grab herself another drink, he was by his phone. Opening up his Whatsapp, his heart immediately fluttered, seeing a new message from Holly. 

“Saw this today and immediately thought of you! Hope you’ve had a good week!” 

It was an innocuous enough little message, but he couldn’t discount the fact it made him feel as if moonbeams shone brilliance through his chest while reading it. She’d seen something and thought of him, a little Funko Pop of Tony Montana. She was thinking about him. Just as he had been her, ceaselessly too. It might not have looked as if he had to an outsider, given his behaviour, but for the last six days he’d thought of little else but how he’d felt while he’d been with her that past weekend. 

And it terrified him. Equally, though, like a siren upon a clifftop, her song called out.  

“That’s cute! Yeah, week’s been alright. You up to much tonight?" 

A few seconds passed. 

“I went out for dinner and drinks with a few girls from the E-Magazine earlier, but I'm home now in my jammies, being boring. You?” 

“Nothing special. Fancy a visitor?” 

“Depends. Is the visitor tall, sexy and tattooed?” 

“He is, according to you.” 

“Then he better get his arse round here, pronto!” 

He had an Uber booked within seconds, the car three minutes away. “Mate, I’m heading off. See you in the morning.”  

“What?” Chris spluttered through his beer. “Why you being boring and not staying to get wreck up with me?” A suck of teeth followed. “Nah, fam.” 

Nathan laughed, giving him a hug. “Trust me, bruv. I ain’t leaving to be boring.” Heading out of the gates, the car arrived with him in seconds, having him ferried across to Shepherd’s Bush in just under twenty-five minutes.  

Ringing her bell, he waited for a few seconds, the door opening partially. It wasn’t Holly who greeted him, though. 

“Say hello to my little friend!” There in her hand was the little Funko Pop, Nathan laughing as she opened the door wider. “I can’t do the voice like you can, but I tried!” 

“Nah, no way. Didn’t think you’d actually bought him,” he chuckled, taking the figure from her outstretched hand, being greeted with a kiss.  

Oh, the feel, the smell of him. She’d missed him perhaps more than she thought. “Of course, I did! He isn’t boxed because I saw him in a little charity shop in Camden, but I had to buy him for you!”  

God, she was just so impossibly lovely. Sinking into her arms, he let it flood through him, the feeling of calmness for her presence, the smell of that beautiful, freshly cut roses perfume ensnaring his senses. In that moment, right there was the only place he desired to be.  

“Someone’s got a rumbly tummy,” she then spoke as they parted, giving his abs a little pat. He’d forgone dinner, so by that point was pretty hungry. “Do you want some food? I was going to eat again, the dinner I went out for was all that small fancy crap. Tasted great but I’m still Hank flippin’ Marvin, y’know!” 

Ahhh, the cockney rhyming slang for starving. He was very familiar with it, his father a die-hard east end native. “Yeah, yeah. Thanks. Could do with filling the void.”  

He followed her through to the kitchen, the light breeze coming in through the open double glass doors cooling the space, the summer heat quite high still even though it was close to ten in the evening. The garden looked pretty, lots of string lights glowing overhead, a few candles placed on the table she’d obviously been sitting out there at, her sketchpad still present. While she tinkered with pots and pasta, he stood in the doorway vaping, telling her about his day when requested. 

“Flippin’ heck, that’s almost like tattooing a famous person, doing one for the president of an MC,” she remarked, pouring pasta sauce into a pan and turning up the heat under the water in another. 

“I think infamy is closer,” he replied, blowing a plume of sweetly scented vape down his nose.  

He was likely right. “Have you ever tattooed anyone famous?” 

“Yeah, yeah, I have. One of the guys from Slipknot, a couple from some obscure metal bands I ain’t ever heard of before from eastern Europe, did one for Motorhead’s old drummer, too.”  

“Oh, that’s uncanny,” she spoke, uncorking a bottle of wine and pointing to one of the glasses with a questioning look he nodded to. “I was listening to Motorhead on the way home.” 

“For real? Didn't know you were into alternative stuff too,” he spoke, thanking her when she passed him over the large glass of red.  

Grabbing her phone, she synced it to the speakers again and pressed play on her random Spotify playlist, the opening of the song Sex Type Thing by Stone Temple Pilots beginning to filter out. “I listen to all sorts.” 

“My favourite band included.” he noted, nodding at her phone. He then stood there and laughed softly through his nose, watching as she danced her way back towards the stove with a series of seductive wiggles and silly gestures. Yep. Definitely lovely. He also enjoyed how she was confident enough in herself not to bother changing, wearing the little vest and shorts pyjamas set still, her face bare of makeup.  

Ten minutes later and they were sitting at the table outside, Nathan sated nicely for the first big mouthful of pasta. “What sauce is this you’ve used? It’s proper nice.” 

“That’s a Holly’s kitchen original,” she informed him proudly. “Kate’s gran was Italian, so I have access to amazing recipes.”  

“This is better than any Italian food I’ve ever had before, I’m telling you. Didn’t fucking eat it for years when I was with Lisa, though. She’s one of them freaks who can’t stand pasta.”  

Her mouth gaped a little. “And you still married her?”  

“Yeah,” he winced, sipping his wine. “Should have seen that reg flag a mile off, for real.” 

“Well, I flippin’ love pasta, so that’s reason number one why I’m better,” she beamed, Nathan laughing again. 

“One of many, sweetheart.” Moving his plate over, he placed his wine down again, turning her sketchpad around. “Nice to see someone else who enjoys pencils and paper still. I do loads on my MacBook but nothing beats organic drawing.” 

She loved that they had that in common, both of them artists but from two vastly different fields. “Yes, I always start on paper before anything digital on my iPad. Some publishers do prefer the simplicity of the pencil sketch or watercolour, though, it has to be said.” 

“Love that,” he commented, tapping the little sketch she’d been doing of the flowers across her garden with his finger. “Mind if I have a little flip through?” 

“Erm...” she hesitated, but it was too late. He’d landed on it before she had chance to say no. There, two pages back, was a pencil sketch that looked like a black and white photograph of himself.  

“Nah, you drew me from memory?” he exclaimed softly, watching her nod, her cheeks flushing a little. 

“Yep, and now I feel like a knob.” Wincing, she continued to mutter under her breath. She hadn’t meant for him to see it. “Crapping crap on it.” 

“Oi, don’t talk like that. It’s fucking pukka! For real, that’s mad. Looks just like me,” he praised her with, studying it closer. His eyes found hers after a few moments, his face soft, earnest. “I love it.” 

She felt her embarrassment fade a little, but not nearly enough. Picking up her wine, she gulped it back, needing an excuse to go and cringe at herself in privacy for a moment. “Just going to get a top up.” 

Back in the kitchen, she cringed hard while pouring out another glass, jumping a little at feeling his arms slide around her waist, resting his chin to her shoulder. “You’ve got nothing to feel embarrassed about, you know. I really do love that sketch. I think you’re a bit like me, though. When something makes you feel uncomfortable, you like to hide.” 

Yes, he was right there. Now if only he’d actually listen to himself, and realise that running and hiding from how he felt because of Holly was exactly the pattern he’d fallen into over the last week. There she was, a lovely woman who thought about him so much that she remembered such details like the movie characters he could imitate, and duly bought him little gifts to show that. A woman who had him on her mind enough to sketch him.  

And what did he do because he couldn’t get her out of his mind? Dive between the legs of any other pretty girl who’d let him, because the idea of someone like Holly hurting him was terrifying. She turned in his arms, Nathan smiling at her, kissing her forehead before their mouths pressed in sweet kisses, picking her up until she was wrapped around him.  

“Too short. Can’t cope, you give me neck ache having to lean down a pissing foot.” 

“And you’re too bloody tall.” she quipped, stroking his hair. They started at one another with contentment for a few moments before their kisses resumed, Nathan knowing, feeling it. Holly wasn’t Lisa and, in all likeliness, wouldn’t hurt him as terribly as she had. 

If only his mind could truly wrap itself around that notion, though.

Athletic Spirit of Rugby: Rugby union football, commonly known simply as rugby union in English-speaking countries and rugby 15/XV in non-Anglophone Europe, or often just rugby, is a close-contact team sport that originated at Rugby School in England in the first half of the 19th century. Rugby is based on running with the ball in hand. In its most common form, a game is played between two teams of 15 players each, using an oval-shaped ball on a rectangular field called a pitch. The field has H-shaped goalposts at both ends. The SVNS,[1][2] known as the for sponsorship reasons, is an annual series of international rugby sevens tournaments run by World Rugby featuring national sevens teams. Organised for the first time in the 1999–2000 season as the IRB World Sevens Series,[3] the competition was formed to promote an elite-level of international rugby sevens and develop the game into a viable commercial product. A fly-half (number 10) is usually the first player to receive the ball from the scrum-half following a breakdown, line-out or scrum. Therefore, they must be decisive with what actions to take. They must possess leadership and communicate effectively with the back line.[58] Good fly-halves are calm, clear thinking and have the vision to direct effective attacking plays.[59] Fly-halves need good passing and kicking skills. Often the fly-half is the best kicker in the team and needs to be able to execute attacking kicks such as up-and-unders, grubbers and chip kicks as well as being able to kick for territory.[58] Many fly-halves are also the team's goal kickers.

Continued!

Balor is heading back to Mistria, walking tired. It’s a Saturday morning, and he had just finished a particularly frustrating delivery service for emergency supplies.

His focus was thrown off by something cracking. Electricity maybe. He turns around and there is…someone there. It looked wrong.

I’ll make a comparison to this. Imagine a beautiful oil painting depicting a natural landscape. It has all the components to make it iconic with some added star and flowers. It is an artist prided work. And then comes the infamous tomato soup. It hurled straight at it, muddling colors and painting the canvas. A bullet or a cut leaves a mark, tomato soup bleeds. Its two art styles clashing, yet one is causing significantly more damage. No glass protects this world from Zacharie and his GUN.

A simple daily edit couldn’t comprehend the aura that ever so slightly, and so clearly, ripped through the air like lightning. It desaturated the atmosphere.

Balor believed he saw a monster. Well he was right, “humans” in the OFF world breathed smoke. Could Zach breathe anyway—well ignore that. He’s built different. My narration doesn’t properly convey the unervingness that is this scene. Enjoy this edit.

He tried to analyze which item was which, and what came from where. Everyone was cramped in some impossible space, too square on one end, completely monochromatic the next. All being carried by some sort of masked man.

It didn’t cross Balor’s mind that this would be the adventure Adeline requested, because the request for one hasn’t been picked up.

But…it IS Saturday, and that’s when Mistria had operated its annual market fair. Usually, merchants would notify Adeline before selling, and it’s about the same people every time. They had stopped the fair due to the Earthquake destroying the bridge. From the looks of it and the impossibility Balor suspected that this merchant traveled far to get here. That far, meant new items, and new connections. Balor wasn’t going to let previous grievances get in his way.

And so, two traveling merchants came together. Existing for mainly the same reason. To sell, in Balor’s case he could be romanced. Players could only dream of rizzing up Zacharie. Back to topic, they immediately went down to introductions.

Zachaire isn’t incapable of reading the room here. Balor is trying to figure out who he is, and what is the Portal Gun. For this acquaintance, Zacharie kept answering questions vaguely, and mostly agreed to whatever Balor said. Yes! He did come from a place very very far away. Somewhere Balor wouldn’t likely ever reach. If Zachaire told him the whole truth, Balor would likely believe it. But the reality is more bizarre than lies. This wouldn’t stop Zacharie from being willing to show his goods. It’s his purpose.

His half-truths and woven around lies crash. And it’ll be because Balor knows the value of gems better.

Zachaire is guided into town, and shown off to Adeline. Who he’ll then display all his wares too. He kinda literally just dumped everything in front of her. From the gems he’s collected, to the meats acquired, the baseball equipment, everything. Adeline could hardly keep up with the items that just don’t seem to end. Video game inventory be like—

Balor took a moment to process it all. These emeralds, diamonds, and ores. They were all weirdly shaped, but definitely real. The prices of these pristine (still strange) diamonds were absolutely criminally cheap.

Sure, some could be considered novelty like the Jokers, the tarot cards. But then he pulled out literal raw MEAT. Stacks of it, it was fresh, bloody, and somehow didn’t get any of that grime on the other merchandise!

How Zacharie priced things, he just converted Credits directly into Tesserae. He organized all the prices anyway on his computer. He could’ve uncharged it and let them bargain, but gold in itself were valuable to the tiniest chip. These also looked prettier than the gold nuggets be mined in the Nether, could be used for any domestic products at home. He’s been hoarding a ton of supplies in order to not crash the economy, so having these tiny things are worth it to him.

We don’t use Tesserae where I come from. We use paper, because gold is too valuable to be used as currency.

Part of Balor was offended. Gems were a part of his culture and highly analyzed. Luster, color, shape! It all came together. Balor would be an idiot to not buy it and trade it in for a phenomenally higher value. Look at the two, so similar in thought. It’s a win-win, gold for diamonds! Vise versa. They would be making bank with each other. There was a click. Balor was the first to think about building a partnership. Zacharie was a foreigner, so he might need an assistant.

What better to do than discuss it over a meal. They did go into the Inn, and for nearly the entire day a lot of Mistria’s NPCs did introduce Zacharie to Mistria along with the whole region they live in. It was a surprise to how much Zacharie didn’t actually know much about the Captial. To get to Mistria he had to have at least gone there. Zacharie didn’t answer that question and kept switching the subjects to something else. It didn’t take much to get Balor to talk about jewels. The process was so interesting, it was the main topic discussed about along with Aldaria. It allowed some people to brush aside a bit of the creepiness.

To add to this, Zacharie kept asking Celine about flowers and plants. He wanted to stay over for the Spring Festival as he explained he needed ideas and inspiration.

Adeline had thought the same of Balor before. That he was a shady merchant, but Zacharie. He had things that could hardly be understood.

Juniper was frustrated. She was a witch. She could sense a disturbance of magic in the air, twisting around this guy. There were times where she swore she was staring at a toad, or a cat, or angel. Most people wouldn’t exactly understand. A ton of people forgot overtime the historical influence of magic. Some people don’t believe monsters exist. She was right to think of Zachaire as an alien because he literally is. She wanted answers!

And Zacharie didn’t answer them like she wanted. He could talk about his adventures, or how metals come from cow tumors. It didn’t provide her with any of the magic related information, because Zachaire simply didn’t know what magic even was. It’s all just programming to him.

It drove Juniper nuts.

Valen was also trying to understand. Her family legacy was in her hands replicating “Pancea” but tickets here seemed to do half of the work for her. It’s some magical bandage that can fix a slit wrist in five seconds what? Zacharie was just trying to pitch in his products and to set fuel to the fire erupting in the inn.

Well…that is what he gets trying to sell foreign items that aren’t meant to be sold to people of Mistria. He still made bank though, and he’s still disgustingly wealthy. Eventually, things had to calm down and Adeline made it so. It was rude of them to bombard a guest with questions and assumptions.

Things returned to a normal topic, then it became dark. Midnight I mean.

Just before he left. He did tell Balor the truth. He was from another world, and well it explained everything strange about him. He told Balor about his adventures in Minecraft, and the Zones in his homeworld. The Zones sounded like horror stories. Industrialization is a foreign concept in Mistria. But he put it aside. Balor is more excited than anything, promising to help him if he can get his hands on easy specialty goods first. They made a deal! Yay, buisness partners! That metal was quality and he didn’t have time to complain when Mistria needs all the help it can get.

Seems like in the end, everything went alright. Zacharie wasn’t exactly done with this world. He’d be back definitely. He wanted to see the Spring festival, and he’d even bring along Sucre if she wanted too.

Note: I am trying to make a fanfiction with the two in a more spooky atmosphere, where photos don’t mess up the entire aesthetic and such. And in Balor’s limited perspective. To show vs to tell are two different things! You’ll see some ideas told here, but not all. Besides, it’ll be funnier to see it happen rather than be told it did happen. I’ll do my best to show it better in the fanfiction. If I ever actually finish it. Minecraft is not included.

[foul-milk]

So I finished the Sherlock Holmes The Awakened game last night and here are some of my personal opinions on it! SPOILERS AHEAD !!!

First off: I went into this game as someone who's only played the Devil's Daughter Frogwares Sherlock game before, and I was unaware that it's somewhat set in the same universe, and that playing the Chapter One game would've given me more character lore. I wanted to play this game because Sherlock Holmes is an old obsession of mine, while Lovecraft is a more recent one, so it felt like this game was created for me. 😂

And honestly, I really enjoyed it. It was different from the Devil's Daughter game in that you didn't have to think that much about the mysteries, but this made sense for this game because there was one main mystery as opposed to one mystery per chapter. So it's a good thing you couldn't go down the wrong train of thought and have to deal with the consequences of that for the whole game.

I liked how the game didn't skirt around the emotional relationship of Holmes and Watson and kind of leaned into it, because I think that's an inherent part of any Sherlock Holmes story (even the original books). Like yes, Watson is absolutely there to protect Holmes and throw hands with anyone who tries to do him wrong, you're completely correct! 😂 I liked how they went from calling each other by their surnames to their first names to represent them getting closer during the ordeal. Also the moral of the story basically being "friendship saved the world" is adorable and it shows that Holmes has finally accepted Watson as a friend he can really trust.

Regarding the Lovecraft side of the game: It was good, but I was maybe hoping for more? I'm not sure what, or how they could've fit it into the Frogwares Sherlock universe tho. I understand that they had to leave it ambiguous, if it all actually happened or if there really was an eldritch "god" from outer space hiding under the ocean, for it to not become an issue in any potential future games in this universe. And even Lovecraft keeps things for the imagination and builds horror through suspense. But I guess I was just expecting more horror from the game. I can't say I was scared at any point, but maybe the creators didn't intend to make it that scary, or maybe Lovecraft's style of building suspense just doesn't translate well to visual media. But the story itself was good, I was just waiting to see Cthulhu emerging from the sea at the end. 😂 I was also hopeful that they'd use elements from Lovecraft's less mainstream works as well because my favourite stories from him are not his most famous works and I never see media using these as source materials. (I'm specifically talking about The Colour Out of Space, The Whisperer in Darkness and The Shadow Over Innsmouth here.) There were references to some lesser known Lovecraft stories, but it wasn't much and I would've loved to see more. But at the same time I understand that Lovecraft is known as "Scary Octopus Man" so even just from a marketing perspective they have to stick to that theme specifically. I know I sound critical here, but I actually enjoyed the mystery. It's interesting that it leaves room for the player to think about if the real monsters were the humans who orchestrated these rituals all along.

There were a lot of loose ends and abandoned plot lines in the story that confused me a bit, but I somewhat understand how that makes some sense in this game. It's about Holmes' descent into madness so I can see how he would lose the plot of the investigation along the way. I'm not sure if these loose ends were intentional from the developers, but if any game can get away with them it's this one.

All in all, it was a good game that I enjoyed playing with my little sister. It made her want to read the original Sherlock Holmes stories and Lovecraft's works, so it was worth it! 😁👍

I'm going to play The Sinking City next and maybe I'll write a little review on that as well if it captures me enough!

So, I've tried out Froniter Station on SS14 after a while of hemming and hawing about it. Decided it would be funny to take the fail-girl lizard out onto the new frontier and see what happens.

First shift went poorly, ended up doing quite poorly because I was mining and couldn't find a place to process ores nor did I have the machine to do so so I was stuck selling scraps on the trade outpost (This is why you should, you know, actually engage with the player market lmao) So, I decided to do a hard reset (I wasn't sure if there was anything against it but I was a newbie and was desperate to keep learning) and went out salvaging. Actually came out on top that time with selling loots. Third time, I also salvaged by myself but a bit of emergent gameplay happened (read: thruster placement skill issue) that made me interact with the folks on the server.

A priestly lizard who was FUCKING HUGE managed to save Adalite and bring her back to Frontier, as well as offer her wine and some advice, it was actually rather sweet.

I did sell my shittle off, bought another Construct, and went back to salvaging, making back what I lost and actually planning my ship design this time. Remember, folks, always bring cable, more than you need!

The shift after that, though, oh boy, it's a bit of a doozy.

Anyway: >Be me, Adalite Tosimizu, currently striking it out on the Frontier.

So that round, I had decided that I'd try and get hired by a ship so I can, you know, actually RP on an MRP server (shock and horror, right?) and had Adalite ask if people needed a blue lizard who can do the things.

A lizard by the name Bites-The-Cables responded by saying that they always need a blue lizard. This lizard had been saying at the start of the round that they wanted to make an Unforgettable Luncheon and were looking for crew members to assist!

I wasn't too sure, first, but after confirming, I hopped aboard the McCargo (yes, really) and met the rest of the crew. A human, a harpy, some small vulpkanins with matching attire, a lizard wearing a bio suit, a TALL HULKING LIZARD wearing a lizard plushie on his head (We had a brief LOOC convo about the lizard plushie thing. It's honestly surprising people don't know about it but it's amusing when they realize.) So, what was the plan? To have a restaurant! BUT there's one catch: there will be a live anomaly! As someone who practically mains Science in SS14, I'm both appalled and intrigued, and I'm sure y'all see where this is going.

So we do the prep-work, converse among ourselves and just generally have a chill time (which is something I've never got the chance to do in SS14 before, mainly because, well, Frontier has a much more relaxed shift length and no real antagonists.) while we set up the whole she-bang.

We've commandeered a science lab, a group of three cleared out the xenos inside, and we got our stuff together, now we have to wait.

Enter: Joe Czanek, a smarmy looking human, and his compatriot, Amera, a moff, turns out they were from the, ahem, secret Health and Safety department... Yeah, okay, seemed everyone was suspicious of him, Walks-With-Shadows especially, apparently Joe built up a reputation for scamming folks which is something that I (and consequently, Adalite) didn't know about up to this point.

So, shenanigans ensue as the crew try their best to keep the place "up-to-code", hiding armaments and general other stuff. I just kind of stayed in the main area, partly to keep an eye out, partly due to stage fright at this point, but I did eventually start wandering and ended up interacting with them directly.

Then the luncheon finally began. A vulpkanin brought out the foods, the "inspectors" would say how terrible the place and the food is and the man would write stuff down. At one point, he even asked Adalite to sit down for a few questions which, to her, was the most nerve-wracking thing she's done.

Fortunately, it was merely uneventful after that up until Joe asked to see the anomaly (LOOC, they said that they were expecting it to be an Aurora Borealis moment lmao). Pressured, we decide to spawn an anomaly and get... slime. Okay, cool, we got slime anomaly. That's good.

What's not good was that it was in a corner on top of an anomaly vessel, which made keeping it stable hard. But it was fortunately safe, ironically, even if it did spit out liquids and fumes into the dining area.

Eventually, Walks-With-Shadows began to keep catching fire which prompted me to drag him to the lab's medbay for treatment, unwittingly being the first domino cast in a line of dominos that'd end up being disasterous.

As we were treating Shadows in the medbay, I heard over comms that the anomaly was about to go critical, so I rushed over to try and help before it suddenly exploded (and the vessel too) into reagent slimes.

Chaos ensued. The laser pistol was not enough and I ended up getting crit and actually died. Everyone else died too. Medical comms lit up with medical tracker implants (a roundstart item, actually useful if the meds on the shift are on the ball). I had ran into the McCargo and ended up sliding towards one of the airlock doors while I was bleeding out, thus making me the first to get revived. Adalite Tosimizu really is built different, isn't she?

A tearful reunion with the co-workers and an examination of the place, we decide that it's best to skedaddle back to the Frontier Outpost but not before Walks-With-Shadows generated ANOTHER anomaly. (It was ice, less threatening that others but still painful if you aren't wearing proper clothing)

Walks-With-Shadows talks with Adalite for a bit about family, it was a general agreement. While blood may be thicker than water, your true family comes from the people you trust the most, which does mesh well with Adalite's backstory I had in mind (I haven't been able to elaborate on it very much as of yet since I never get many chances to do so.)

We chatter for a bit on the ride over, hop out, and hear Bites getting her review (Bites ended up with a 200k spesos "fine", which was then haggled down to 100k and helping with wedding dining from what I recall), I lamented that I didn't get money but decided to see the bright side because, well, I got to meet some wonderful people.

Walks-With-Shadows, who is practically Adalite's big brother at this point, drags me over to the ATM, withdraws some money, then prompted me to deposit it.

It was 90k. Ninety-fucking-thousand spesos, and he was just offering it. I eventually took it after a brief back-and-forth making Adalite my first character to hit 100k on Frontier. Cargonia would've been so proud.

Eventually, we start winding down (it was VERY late for me) and just generally talk about things and headed to cryo. Walks-With-Shadows said that if Adalite ever needed anything, she can feel free to call on him.

After saying goodnight, it was time to cryo and end the shift. Probably THE most memorable RP moment I've ever had in SS14, by far.

Anyway, screenshots below, first of all, the shittle I made in my third-ever shift on Frontier Station:

And secondly, sparse screenshots of what happened during the very long RP session:

What are the different origins of ruby gemstone?

Ruby, the fiery king of gemstones, boasts a rich history and diverse origins. Here's an exploration of the captivating corners of the world where these precious stones are unearthed:

The Classic Source: Myanmar (Burma): For centuries, Myanmar (formerly Burma) has been the benchmark for rubies. The Mogok Valley, nestled in the country's northern mountains, is legendary. Geological conditions there created exceptional rubies known for their intense color saturation, purity, and a coveted "pigeon blood" red hue. While political unrest has limited access to these mines in recent years, some exceptional stones still emerge from this region.

The Rise of African Rubies: Africa has become a major player in the ruby market. Mines in Mozambique, Madagascar, and Tanzania are yielding impressive stones. These rubies can display a vibrant red color with a slight orange or purple undertone, distinct from the Burmese rubies. The African ruby market is known for its excellent clarity and larger gem sizes.

Asian Ruby Treasures: Beyond Myanmar, Asia boasts other ruby sources. Thailand, particularly the Chanthaburi province, has a long history of ruby mining. These Thai rubies often have a darker, more brownish-red hue compared to their Burmese counterparts. Sri Lanka, known for its sapphires, also produces some rubies, with a slightly pinkish tinge.

Beyond the Usual Suspects: Rubies can also be found in less common locations like Afghanistan, Pakistan, and even North Carolina in the United States. These regions typically produce smaller quantities of rubies, and the quality can vary.

Unearthing the Perfect Ruby: The origin of a ruby can influence its value and characteristics. Burmese rubies, with their legendary quality and limited availability, often command a premium price. African rubies offer a compelling alternative with their vibrant color and larger sizes.

On 6 July 1860, a British consul by the name of George Whittingham Caine arrived at the nondescript port of Swatow, today’s modern Shantou. He “disembarked from a warship to the cacophony of a seven-gun salute” and, following the obligatory hoisting of the Union Jack [...], “triumphantly declared the treaty port of Chaozhou ‘open’.” Yet unlike other treaty ports scattered along the maritime fringes of the tottering Qing empire, the British found themselves from the outset outflanked by established Chaozhouese (otherwise known as Chiuchow or Teochew) trading communities and failed to gain a foothold in the profitable local commodity trade in rice, sugar, beancake [...].

[T]he Chaozhouese emerged from a[n] [...] ungovernable corner of Guangdong and joined the ranks of the Fujianese and Cantonese as major players in commerce and commodity production, not only along China’s southeastern littoral but across the different territories washed by the South China Sea. The story of the rise of maritime Chaozhou is set against the backdrop of state attempts to subdue and pacify [the region] [...], the emergence of colonial states in Southeast Asia, and the booms and busts of the commodity trade. [...]

[F]rom 1869 to 1948, around six million laborers departed from the port of Swatow and fanned out across the Nanyang (or “Southern Ocean”) [...]. They worked in Chaozhouese-owned gambier, pepper, rice, sugar, rubber, and fruit plantations, toiled in the gold mines of West Borneo, and served as sailors in the intra-Asian junk trade. These overseas sojourners provided a steady trickle of remittances and in the process transformed the local economy [...] [and] brought Siam, Malaya, Borneo, French Indochina, Hong Kong and Shanghai within the orbit of maritime Chaozhou.

---

The story of the heyday of maritime Chaozhou [...] is bookended by two defining moments; the ascent, following the collapse of Ayutthaya in 1767, of the half-Chaozhouese king of Siam, Taksin, and the catastrophic collapse of the global economy in the 1930s. [...] Ming and Qing [authorities] attempt[ed] to subjugate China’s unruly southeastern littoral. A series of interdictions and measures, ranging from the forced depopulation of complete coastal areas in the second half of the seventeenth century to Fang Yao’s [...] “pacification campaigns” in the 1860s, wreaked havoc but also buttressed anti-dynastic sentiments and reinforced Chaozhou’s maritime orientation. [...] These [...] campaigns triggered [...] migration of several generations of Chaozhouese men [... ]. Singapore's authorities were overwhelmed [...] [and this] worked as a catalyst for the British colonial project in the Straits Settlements. [...]

"Mexican dollars, Hong Kong dollars, French Indochinese piasters, Philippine pesos, Straits dollars and Japanese yen inundated local markets” and sustained a remittance-dependent Chaozhou economy that was always oriented towards the Nanyang and [...] removed from Beijing.

---

But the steady influx of foreign-earned capital also had its shadows. Remittances exacerbated social divides [...]. Furthermore, the success stories of some protagonists, [...] whose fabulous wealth derived from their near-monopoly on gutta-percha during Malaya’s rubber boom, are matched by uncountable, and often irretrievable, stories of suffering and hardship.

Thousands of migrants embarked penniless as “credit ticket coolies” and were shipped under trying conditions to far-flung places where they then toiled for months to earn their passage fare back. [...]

Its leading merchants and brotherhoods competed as well as cooperated with colonial actors across Southeast Asia [...] and Chaozhou-controlled business ventures were crucial to the evolution of industrial capitalism both at home and overseas.
