Draw String

Summary: Vanya always wanted to be a hero.

Notes: A little idea that's been kicking around in my head for a few days. Warnings for suicide, blood, violence.

Part 2 Here.

The concert is horrifying. Somewhere under the glow and the white eyes and the stillness of her face, Vanya is screaming.

Her suit turns white and her skin burns where the cloth touches her. Her glow gets brighter, brighter, her notes coming faster, and Vanya isn’t in control of her hands. She’s never been so connected to the music and yet so adrift before. It’s like there’s someone else steering her body.

The violin turns white.

The power courses through her veins and no matter what she tries Vanya cannot escape it. She can feel it throbbing in her temples, surging to her fingertips, threading its way through her music.

All she ever wanted- attention, powers, her music- it tastes like ash in her mouth.

She can feel them coming, knows they are here in that way she always had. Their presences are pushing at the edges of her mind; they should have been warm, comforting, familial. But all they ever were was cold and judgmental and suffocating. The power inside snarls at her family and Vanya wants to cry.

She always knows when they are near; they’ve never realized when she was gone. They probably don’t understand even now, how far gone she really is. Vanya doesn’t know who it is that’s making this music, but it’s not her. It’s the white violin, guiding her hands, it’s her child self screaming for vengeance, it’s Leonard’s insidious voice twisting her lips into a smirk.

Now everyone can see her but it’s not her and Vanya wishes she’d never set foot in this concert hall.

All eyes on me- let the show begin.

Her light is blinding now, the music coming faster and faster The notes sweep her consciousness away and Vanya falls into their roiling depths, drowning. Her vision tunnels, her hearing is muffled as if by cotton in her ears. Vanya is- Vanya is falling deep, deep down inside a well which opened in her chest. She can’t see the bottom. The melody flows around her, fills her mouth when she tries to scream, flooding her lungs, smothers her gasps for help.

And the white violin plays on.

And oh, she tries, she tries- she grasps for anything, anyone who will help her drag herself back. She thinks of Five and his return, of Klaus and his fearful, dilated eyes, of Ben, sweet Ben gone forever, of Diego and his little smirk of pride when he hit a bullseye for the first time when they were six, of Luther who only ever wanted to save the world even at the expense of those he was supposed to protect. She thinks of Allison, Allison, Allison who is staring at her with something too much like pride. Vanya screams for her sister and her music muffles it.

In another life, Vanya pulls herself together enough to complete the herculean task of dropping her bow from numb fingers. In another life, she smashes her own violin at her feet and the impact shatters the weapon into so many wooden splinters. In another life, the powers, the glow, the voice of her younger self, fade to the back of Vanya’s mind, and she collapses, grief-stricken but triumphant, into Allison’s arms.

Except this isn’t any other life. And Vanya does not do any of that.

She watches, as helpless and silent as she made her own sister, as her brothers prepare for an attack Vanya knows will be futile. She tries to call out and warn them, but she can’t push the words passed twitching lips which aren’t her own.

You’re nothing. You are worthless.

Maybe she is. She’d wished for powers, for her time in the spotlight, for the recognition of her family all her life, and now she has it Vanya can’t even get it right.

Fear clouds her thoughts and if this body were still hers her throat would constrict, her eyes would water, her muscles would lock. But the body’s arms are loose and limber, the knees bend and sway, the hair lifts in an unnatural breeze. Somewhere inside, Vanya is locked away just like Sir Reginald always wanted.

Vanya is going to watch a stranger with her own face kill her family and smile all the while.

I always wanted to be a hero.

People with powers save other people. Leonard had told her something like that once- before she knew he was Harold, before she knew he was vile. She wishes her skin would crawl at just the thought of him, but the body is calm and serene and no goosepimples rise.

But Leonard- Harold, Harold Jenkins, he’s a murderer and you killed him, what have you done? - was right about heroes.

They don’t hurt people. They save them.

But at what cost, she’d asked him then. She’d thought she’d understood then, what it cost to save the world, to be special.

Now she knew.

The well inside is deep and dark and Vanya just wants to rest. It would be so easy to curl up in this cold darkness and let the white violin play her song to say goodbye. It would be so easy to spread her hands. You guys were the heroes back in the day- you figure it out.

If they want to kill her, then by all means, kill her. Vanya honestly could not give less of a shit anymore. Literally- the violin stole that ability from her almost as soon as she collected it from the cold, dead clutches of Sir Reginald and Harold Jenkins alike. The violin covered her eyes with milky white and used her own young voice to spin the wool to yank over her head and the violin pushed her deep, deep down into this well of darkness and the violin muffled all the rest of the world until all that was left was the music.

Now she doesn’t even have that. But heroes save people. And no one has ever saved her brothers and sister, even when they so desperately, obviously need it.

If there was anything Vanya’d always wanted more than to be special, it was the ability to save her family.

So Vanya catches the tune inside of her, pulls the glow down, shrouds herself in the darkness instead of letting it suffocate her. She threads the melody through her fingers and claws her way out of the deep.

The violin shudders, tries to force her back. It would be so easy to let go of the music, let the violin twist her out of shape, stuff her down in a cage somewhere no one else could ever find her. It might even be peaceful there.

But Allison is looking at her, her brothers are looking at her, and Vanya can see them.

Vanya can save them. It would cost so very little.

Vanya looks at her sister’s wide, terrified eyes and smiles.

Tell me you’re not threatened now.

She can fix this. She knows she can fix this.

She can be the hero her family needs her to be. Just this once.

Vanya smiles at her sister, raises her bow to her own throat, and draws a crisp G sharp across her jugular.

The white violin parts from her unfeeling hands and Vanya has never been happier as she falls to the stage.

Things get hazy for a while; all she can feel is the warmth and wet at the base of her neck, cascading down her front. The floor beneath her vibrates, as if thousands of feet are stampeding by her, but the wind dies down and the light from her skin must be dimming because that overwhelming, cloying darkness is back. It’s almost enough to let her breathe easy again.

She’s lying in a pool of the same sticky, fast-cooling liquid when she opens her eyes again. Through the beautiful, domed glass ceiling of the concert hall Vanya can see the full moon. It shines just a brightly as she did, up there all alone.

Things are moving at the edges of her vision, but that moon, that ethereal, intact, glorious moon, it stares right into her, down that well Vanya was trapped in. It sees her. It sees her.

Vanya clings to the moon and lets it buoy her on an ocean of her own blood.

Then the moon’s symphony in her mind is interrupted by curls and concern and tears and oh . That’s Allison. That’s her sister.

“Va- no, oh God- don’t mov-”

“Christ! Keep her on her ba- nee- -op the blood flow-”

She wonders if the blood has reached her ear now, pouring in so she can’t hear. The moon winks at her, and her heart settles.

I did it, she wants to tell the soft brown eyes which appear above her. They block out the moon, but that’s alright because Vanya will be there soon. It will all be alright.

The stage is empty; she doesn’t have to see to know. Everyone is safe from her.

“Vanya- stay wi-”

“Oh- oh- she’s losing too mu-”

“ Move! I ca - ee- how bad it i-”

I did it , she says to Allison, and grins. Something warm dribbles from her lips to her chin. It’s probably ruining the pristine white of her suit. I saved you.

In another life, she is again collapsed into her sister’s arms, sobbing apologies and wondering if they will kill her still. In another life, Allison is hugging her, Klaus is cooing, Five is sniping at men in combat gear and gas masks, Ben is glowing and blue and here . In another life, Luther throws a woman in a suit across the stage and Diego knives a man in the back before he can even touch Vanya. In another life, silence falls and she is crying in her sister’s arms and the apocalypse doesn’t happen. In another life they end up in the parking lot of a burned out Griddy’s, clutching a thermos of stale coffee Diego digs out from underneath a car seat. In another life, Vanya falls asleep against someone’s shoulder, with someone else’s hand in hers and someone else’s fingers carding through her hair and more than one someone else singing along (badly) to the radio at two in the morning.

“Please, please-”

“Not you too, Vanya, please, not after Ben-”

(In yet another life, it is too late, and her brother wreaths them all in blue, crackling energy so they can narrowly avoid chunks of moon crashing into the concert hall.)

But in this life, something wet hits her forehead, her cheek, and Vanya opens her mouth to tell her sister to stop crying only there’s someone making this awful gurgling noise somewhere very far away that’s very distracting.

“Stay, stay, I’m sorry just stay- ”

Someone is holding her hand; she can’t actually feel it, per se, but she can flick her eyes down far enough to make out bitten nails and tattoos.

I won’t haunt you, she promises Klaus, but he won’t stop cradling her hand to his heaving chest.

There’s a face beside Allison’s now; wrinkled brow, pursed lips, a nick in the eyebrow. Diego has had his gloved palms pressed to her throat for a while now, probably. Vanya can’t tell- how long has it been? Minutes? Hours?

“I’ve got you. I’ve got you. Don’t give up on us now, you hear me?”

It doesn’t matter, Vanya tells him. It’s okay. I saved you.

Her brother’s face crumples but his hands don’t fall away. She wishes he wasn’t so stubborn.

Now everything is blurry, and not just at the edges. She can’t quite make out the moon behind Allison, can’t see the pupils of her sister or brother’s eyes. Another face joins on the other side of the blonde-red-brown- blob which used to be her sister, and only the navy and red of their familiar uniform tells Vanya it is Five.

It’s over, Five. You’re safe. You’re safe from me.

I’m the hero now Luther. I did what it took to save the world- aren’t you proud of me?

The light is so weak now; maybe the stage lights have been shut off? She doesn’t know. It doesn’t matter. What matters is that her family is safe. They’re safe. She saved them.

The darkness is closing in again, but it doesn't drag her down like an anchor underwater this time. It’s a blanket, warm and comforting against the tacky, wet substance covering Vanya’s face and hands and arms and torso. It’s nice. Soothing, even. She is so very tired.

She’s done it- she’s saved the world. It wouldn’t be so bad, now, if she rested, would it?

Vanya closes her eyes against her sister’s beloved, unseen face, and smiles as she slips into sleep.

Decisions

This is part 4 of the Bespin/ESB AU I seem to be writing now (???). Han and Leia have escaped Bespin before Breakfast with Vader, managed to jump to a moon in the Monsua Nebula without Imperial detection, and are now beginning to face the tough “what now” decisions together. Meanwhile, Luke is still worried about them... You can read the earlier segments of this here: (Part 1 - I know) (Part 2 - Jump) (Part 3 - Visions of the future)

Han did not want to be fighting with Leia again. Especially on what they’d agreed would be their last day on the moon in the Monsua Nebula.

To be fair, they weren’t fighting, exactly, not the way they had before. Nobody was denying feelings; nobody was calling each other names; nobody was putting up a false front to avoid the pain of leaving, or being left. Their secrets had been laid bare; their love for each other was clear.

They even agreed on most of the facts of their situation. There was just one critical point that had them at odds.

“Fuck, no,” Han said. “You’re not comin’ to Jabba’s. No.”

Leia’s eyes narrowed. “Since when do you get to decide? You’re going to need backup if you’re getting out of there alive.” She folded her arms. “And you’re getting out of there alive.”

Was it weird that he loved her more when she was this stubborn? But half the point of him going to pay off Jabba was to keep Han from endangering Leia more than he already had. There were no guarantees as to whether he’d make it off Tatooine with his life this time; it was bad enough already that Chewie insisted on being dragged into this.

Han breathed in deeply, then lowered his voice. “Leia.”

Her posture was still closed off, the way it had always been when they’d fought before, but her eyes were different. The unreadable sheen they’d had before, especially in the last days of Hoth—I don’t care, I don’t care, they’d insisted to him in the frozen hallways, in the medbay—was gone. And he recognized that warmth and fire they held now. He’d seen this look countless times running missions with her: come the nine hells, Leia Organa was going to get what she’d come for. Only now, he was her mission objective.

Damn it. This is why running away had been so much easier in the past. It didn’t feel better, exactly, but it made the decision for you. And if the being you’d left hated you for it, so what? You’d earned it.

“Sweetheart,” he began again. “This is my fuck up. I gotta be the one to take care of it.”

She didn’t break a smile, but her face softened a little as she shook her head. “If you’d paid him off after Yavin, you wouldn’t be in this mess. And I’d be dead four times over, at least.” Her chin was jutting out slightly, another hallmark of Leia digging in her heels.

Okay, kriff everything, I love this woman. He wasn’t going to win this argument, not today. But the thought of what Jabba might do to her—he couldn’t let her sign on to this. How were they going to get past this, decide how to go forward?

I basically have another life debt on my hands flitted through the back of his head, and that made him recall one of Chewie’s past admonitions.

He and Chewie had been arguing one time, when Han had flatly refused to admit that anything but “steady work” was tying them to the Rebellion but had made a private deal with Rieekan to work for ship parts until the cash flow situation improved. Just admit what you want, Chewie had urged him, and after he’d denied wanting anything, Chewie had ended the discussion with a simple phrase. Just remember, Cub, not deciding is also a decision.

Not deciding up to this point had probably made his problem worse, and they couldn’t stall forever, but they didn’t need to go directly to Tatooine. Han’s odds would be even worse than usual if he rolled up to Jabba’s without a plan, anyway. Between Han, Chewie, and Leia—hells, maybe kriffing Goldenrod could help, even—they could come up with a strategy for getting into Jabba’s and getting back out alive. And speaking of Chewie, Han owed him big time….

Han decided not to decide.

“All right,” he said to Leia. “Not gonna convince you.”

There was her smile, as Leia shook her head.

“’M not sayin’ yes,” he warned.

“But you’re not saying no?” she asked, her eyebrows quirking up a bit.

Han laughed softly, in spite of himself. He was never going to get the best of this woman, that was for sure. “I need you to help with a plan. And Chewie deserves a trip home before this mess.” He grinned. “Ever been to Kashyyk?”

Leia unfolded her arms, and the fire in her eyes flickered with warmth. “Don’t believe I’ve had the pleasure, Captain,” she said.

Much better way to end an argument, Han thought, as he kissed her.

Luke was at a fueling station on a tiny moon in the Senex-Juvex sector, trying to decide what to do next. Fifty clicks from the middle of nowhere, he could picture Han saying, and he smiled.

Ben had been right about one thing: Luke had this power, had tapped into the energy of the Force, but he was still struggling to figure out how best to control it. He’d reached out on the way to Bespin, hoping he would arrive in time to prevent their pain, save them from the visions he’d seen, and had confirmed that not only had Han and Leia’s fate changed without his intervention, Luke’s arrival would have dire consequences for them.

It was maddening, though; he had nothing concrete, just this undeniable feeling that he could not go to Bespin, or things would be worse. He’d pulled the ship out of hyperspace, endured an impressive amount of cursing in binary from R2 (he was unsure of the meaning of some of the names he was being called, but he knew none of them were complimentary), and managed to steer through the edge of an asteroid belt while he had R2 figure out where in the galaxy they were. There had been even more excitement as he realized he’d narrowly avoided jumping right into the Dolla system, home of an Imperial navy installation, but after a little more cursing from R2 they’d found this fuel stop.

He could try to make his way to the Alliance rendezvous and hope they would be pleasantly surprised at his arrival rather than ready to court-martial him. Although it had been almost seven weeks since the Hoth evacuation, so the odds that they were maintaining the rendezvous at the same coordinates were not great. He could return to Dagobah, let Yoda curse him for a while instead of R2, try to complete his training.

R2’s question jolted him out of his thoughts. [Where is our next destination before you deviate our course into the nearest supernova?]

Luke laughed and patted his dome affectionately, Han’s voice in his head again. Flying through hyperspace ain’t like dustin’ crops, Kid.

Then he thought of something. Han and Chewie were really leaving this time, going to pay off Jabba, and they’d definitely taken the Falcon off Hoth; he’d seen them lift off. But Leia was supposed to be with the Alliance, headed toward the rendezvous point on one of the transports. How had she ended up with them?

Luke sighed. He couldn’t go back to the Alliance or back to Dagobah until he saw for himself that Han and Leia were all right.

He reached out again. They were all right for now, happy, even. And he had a sense of where to find them.

“R2,” he said, “set a course for the Monsua Nebula.”

Tag People You Want To Get To Know Better

Favourite Anime/Manga

Trigun - Vash the Stampede is the man with a $$60,000,000 bounty on his head. The reason: he's a merciless villain who lays waste to all those that oppose him and flattens entire cities for fun, garnering him the title "The Humanoid Typhoon." He leaves a trail of death and destruction wherever he goes, and anyone can count themselves dead if they so much as make eye contact—or so the rumors say. In actuality, Vash is a huge softie who claims to have never taken a life and avoids violence at all costs. With his crazy doughnut obsession and buffoonish attitude in tow, Vash traverses the wasteland of the planet Gunsmoke, all the while followed by two insurance agents, Meryl Stryfe and Milly Thompson, who attempt to minimize his impact on the public. But soon, their misadventures evolve into life-or-death situations as a group of legendary assassins are summoned to bring about suffering to the trio. Vash's agonizing past will be unraveled and his morality and principles pushed to the breaking point.

Dragon ball Z - Do I really need to put a synopsis here? Guess I will just to be safe. Dragon Ball Z follows the adventures of the protagonist Goku who, along with his companions, defends the Earth against an assortment of villains ranging from intergalactic space fighters and conquerors, unnaturally powerful androids and nearly indestructible creatures. While the original Dragon Ball anime followed Goku from his childhood into adulthood, Dragon Ball Z is a continuation of his adult life, but at the same time parallels the maturation of his sons, Gohan and Goten, as well as the evolution of his rivals Piccolo and Vegeta from enemies into allies.

Darker than black - Ten years ago, a mysterious spatial anomaly now known as "Heaven's Gate" appeared in South America, shortly followed by the opening of "Hell's Gate" in Tokyo altering the sky and wreaking havoc on the landscape. The real stars disappeared, replaced by false stars. During this time, people possessing various special abilities—called "Contractors"—emerged, each capable of different supernatural feats. Each Contractor has a corresponding fake star, which reacts to their activities. As such, Contractors are usually identified by their star's Messier catalogue number. Kept secret from the masses, these individuals are known to murder in cold blood, smothering unnecessary emotions with logic and rationality. Their incredible abilities, however, are gained at the cost of their humanity; Contractors are thus named because of an involuntary compulsion to "pay the price" each time their power is used, which can range from eating particular foods or completing meaningless tasks, to self-harm and changing their bodies in peculiar ways. Various nations and organizations around the world train and utilize Contractors as spies and assassins, resulting in violent battles for valuable objects and information.

Favorite Video games

Legend of the Dragoon - So many memories here. The story begins when Dart, the protagonist, is heading home from a five year long journey to pursue the black monster, who killed his parents and destroyed his birth city, Neet. On the way, he is attacked by Feyrbrand, a mantis-like dragon controlled by the Sandora, a rebel faction in the Serdian civil war. Dart is saved by a mysterious female heroine named Rose, though they soon part ways. When he arrives at his hometown, Seles, he discovers that it has been destroyed by Sandora, and that Shana, Dart’s childhood friend (and later in the game, his love interest), has been taken away. Dart sets out to rescue her. Throughout the game, he is periodically joined by people that he helps along the way.

Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask - Majora's Mask takes place a few months after The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time[20] and begins with Link searching for his departed fairy, Navi.[21] While riding through a forest in Hyrule on his horse Epona, Link is ambushed by the masked Skull Kid and his fairy accomplices Tatl and Tael, who steal both Epona and his musical instrument, the Ocarina of Time. Link follows them down a dark cave, where he confronts the Skull Kid, who curses him by turning him into a Deku Scrub. Tatl stops Link from going after the Skull Kid as the latter escapes with Tael through a door, but is then separated from them when the door closes behind them. Realizing she needs Link's help to find them, Tatl insists that they work together. Link follows the Skull Kid through the cave into the inside of the Clock Tower in the land of Termina. There, he meets the Happy Mask Salesman, who seemed to have been following him. The salesman offers to help Link heal his curse, in exchange for which he must retrieve both the Ocarina of Time and the Majora's Mask from the Skull Kid. The Skull Kid, having stolen the Majora's Mask from the salesman, became possessed by its overwhelming power and transformed into an uncontrollable fiend who inflicts certain misfortune on others, the worst of which is an impending apocalypse: the moon is now set to collide with the world in approximately three days time.

Dragonball Xenoverse 2 - Really one of the best fighting games I’ve ever played and it doesn’t take itself too seriously. Two years after the events of the first game, the protagonist receives a special mission from Elder Kai, which involves correcting history after it has changed. On the way there, they meet the Supreme Kai of Time, a deity who watches over time, and her bird, TokiToki. After meeting Elder Kai, they are granted their first mission, which is to correct Goku's battle with Raditz after he's been enhanced by dark magic. Meanwhile, Towa and Mira, the people who've caused history to change, have gathered allies, Turles, Lord Slug and a mysterious Masked Saiyan, from different parts of the timeline. During the Attack of the Saiyans Saga, Turles attempts to intercept Goku to prevent him from assisting the Z Fighters against Nappa and Vegeta, only to be stopped by the combined forces of the Time Patroller and Goku. During the battle, Trunks and his partner, the protagonist from the first Xenoverse game, try to capture Turles, but he escapes before the Time Patroller can stop him. The protagonist then returns to the Time Nest after defeating Great Ape Nappa and Great Ape Vegeta, correcting history. There, they are introduced to Trunks and his partner, and it is announced that TokiToki is laying an egg, which gives birth to another universe.

Favorite Books

Under the dome - I loved this one, read it in highschool. It’s a thrilling story about one town being isolated by outside forces, how it changes, how good and evil can flourish and ultimately as time goes on how small civilization changes in isolation. Also sci-fi and it’s Stephen King so, yeah.

The Grapes of Wrath - Definitely a slow read but it teaches you a lot about people and times and junk. Tom Joad and his family are forced from their farm in the Depression-era Oklahoma Dust Bowl and set out for California along with thousands of others in search of jobs, land, and hope for a brighter future. Considered John Steinbeck's masterpiece, The Grapes of Wrath is a story of human unity and love as well as the need for cooperative rather than individualistic ideals during hard times.

The Landover Series - Six books in total, I grew up reading these, they were pretty great. The Magic Kingdom of Landover series is a series of six fantasy novels by Terry Brooks following the adventures of a former trial lawyer named Ben Holiday, and the collection of friends and enemies that he encounters when he purchases a magical kingdom. The location of the novels centers in a fictional world known as Landover that is populated with numerous magical and fairy creatures. It takes its name from a humorous reference to The Wizard of Oz, particularly its "land over the rainbow." It is a small world, surrounded on all sides by fairy mists which connect it to many other worlds, including Earth. Landover is a rural kingdom, populated by humans, gnomes, kobolds, and various other fantasy creatures, who often form separate societies. Their rulers, while answerable to the king, are allowed a certain degree of autonomy. Also inhabiting the land are the dragon Strabo and the witch Nightshade. Landover is protected by the Paladin, a magical knight who is a projection of its rulers. In the absence of a worthy ruler, the Paladin disappears and Landover falls prey to a physical decay known as "the Tarnish", which slowly spreads from the king's castle (Sterling Silver) to the rest of the kingdom. The Paladin's is one of the few magics in the land that can stand up against that of Strabo or Nightshade.

Seven Incredible Tiny Eco Getaways

by Lucy Feagins, Editor

The ‘Leo’ Bubbletent, overlooking Capertee Valley. Photo – Mayumi Iwasaka.

Bubbletent by day and night. Photo – Mayumi Iwasaka (left), Saeed Sourati (right).

BubbleTent Australia

Inspired by a stargazing trip to Lake Tekapo, the creator of Bubbletent returned to Australia with an idea to build accommodation ‘without a darned roof in the way.’ The Bubbletent was born, and the completely transparent home offers views in EVERY direction. The owners explain that the exact location of the Bubbletent is secret to protect the privacy and seclusion of guests, but its ‘roughly halfway between Mudgee and Lithgow, overlooking Capertree Valley’, which is home to 1/3 of all Australian bird species! There are three Bubbletents to choose from, all inflated by an eco-turbine powered by batteries and solar power. An unprecedented opportunity to ‘experience a sunset, then the curtain of the cosmos peeling back to unveil the blanket of stars.’

Coastal Pavilions

The natural beauty of Freycinet is pretty outrageous, but somehow architecture firm Liminal Studio have matched the stunning landscape with their design of nine Coastal Pavilions at Freycinet Lodge. The self contained structures are shrouded in curved glass windows, feature Tasmanian timbers, and echo the form of the coastal granite rock formations in the National Park. Sink into an outdoor bath, and watch the light fade over Honeymoon Bay!

Blue Derby Pods Ride

Located in the Derby Forest Reserve, these Philip Lighton Architects designed pods offer a designer experience for mountain bikers in Tasmania’s remote north-east. Nestled within the Blue Derby Mountain Bike trails network, the pods appear to float in the forest as the curved walls swoop in and embrace guests. The tiny buildings are entirely off-grid, powered by solar and local rain-water. Who knew bike riding could be SO lux!

CABN

Last week we introduced the Kangaroo Valley CABN – and today it is South Australia’s turn! Charmingly named ‘Jude’ this Adelaide Hills CABN offers an off grid escape, less than 1.5 hours from Adelaide.

All of the CABN’s are build in the company’s South Australian factory, and installed at secluded locations across Australia where they are powered by solar. The idea behind CABN is to offer a total escape, without needing to travel for hours from a major city. Say ‘Hey Jude’ and enjoy a nature reboot, without having to trek in the bush for days to reach your destination.

Faraway Domes

We have published a short piece on the Faraway Domes in Warialda, NSW once before. These stunning moon-shaped domes are inspired by their rustic bush location, and designed by the Munsie family who run, own and built the accommodation. These geodesic domes were developed in response to the devastating drought in the area – taking an environmental approach to tourism and highlighting the beauty of the region.

Minimal luxury in dreamy locations. Photo – courtesy In 2 The Wild.

In 2 The Wild

In 2 The Wild offers a suite of 10 tiny cabins, dotted in secret locations throughout NSW, with details of the exact location only revealed a few days before the scheduled booking! The off-grid huts are moveable, which helps to ensure a minimal environmental footprint. Large windows connect guests to the surrounding environment, and enjoy an opportunity to gaze at bushland rather than computer screens!

Unshackle yourself from the business of modern life with Unyoked. Photo – Sammy Hawker.

Located outside of Melbourne and Sydney, these easy escapes are easily achievable, even for the biggest city slicker! Photo – Sammy Hawker.

UnYoked

Chris from Unyoked describes their approach as providing ‘a bit of a gateway drug to living more mindfully.’ And we have to agree that if any accommodation is going to make you reconsider the way you live, Unyoked might just be it!

These cabins are located within reach of Melbourne and Sydney, and offer an escape from urban life. Inspired by Japanese and Scandi design, these self-contained contemporary cabins are designed as a ‘vessel to explore and appreciate the outdoors, and try to oppose the excess of luxury hotels.’ But fear not, all the essential creature comforts including a plush queen sized bed, composting toilet, hot shower and fridge are covered!

SLUA Social Media Updates

Twitter is live with 124 followers and our Facebook page now has 676 members!

SLUA Website / IT Committee: Paul Rebillot, Allen Moetmann

SLUA continues to search for a new website platform.

6. Insurance Quotes & Fees: SLUA has Directors & Officers liability coverage annual premium $625. Dana solicited quotes for general liability and sports medical coverage, to determine if we could get coverage & rates comparable to USAU. The USAU cost is approximately 1/3 of the quoted rates ($5,275 vs $16,132) for commercial general liability, umbrella liability & accident medical.

Per Darrin Speegle: Last fall, USAU waived the screening for legal guardians. They even allowed a non-playing, non USAU member legal guardian to serve as chaperone. They told me that as long as a guardian is willing to provide them with contact info and indicate they will be attending the games, it is OK.

7.Volunteers Needed:

Graphic Design: design discs and t-shirts, marketing materials for leagues and tournaments.

Leadership and Community Outreach: lead ultimate clinics; teach ultimate to youth groups at schools, scouts, civic organizations, etc. Promote ultimate at PE teachers’ conference. Serve as team coaches/ managers. Assist with organizing leagues and tournaments.

Field Acquisition: Fields are one of our primary challenges to maintenance and growth. We need to look at partnering with other sports organizations to share field use. Volunteers are needed to seek out partnership opportunities. Field conditions are critical - don’t play on wet fields.

Accounting: assist in management of finances, offer tax advice, and keep organization appraised of new tax laws affecting the organization.

Legal Assistance: offer legal advice and representation as needed.

Information Technology: continue web development for SLUA, assist with site maintenance and support for program marketing, posting team scores of leagues and tournaments, maintenance of bulletin board.

8. Zero Waste Initiative - we strive to create Zero Waste. Instruct players to use reusable water bottles, beer steins, recycle, and make an effort to purchase items that will not contribute to the landfills.
