MDNI +18

Normally, an average Wednesday night for a college student is spent bent over books and cramming as much knowledge as humanly possible in one sitting and then dealing with the sudden onslaught of a nosebleed or a banging headache jabbing at the nerves located behind the eyes. That’s exactly what they should be doing. Following the norm of campus life. But instead of soaking textbook pages in tears and developing premature carpal tunnel syndrome from typing away rapidly for hours straight on a loaned-out laptop, the campus ‘odd-squad’ have found a better means for their time.

Grave robbing.

Jongho swipes a hand across his forehead, jumpsuit soaked by sweat and layers of dirt from digging. He pauses to adjust his grip on the handle of the shovel, the well-worn gardening gloves he wore coming loose at the wrist strap. It was about time for him to get a new pair, the Velcro hardly holding together anymore.

Yeosang is back-to-back with him, his own issued jumpsuit stripped from his upper body and tied at his waist. The black tank top he wears underneath it clings tightly to his torso.

“I’m beginning to think this isn’t worth it anymore.”

Seonghwa stands a couple feet above the two, arms crossed primly over his chest. Beside him on his left is Hongjoong with a hip jutted out and an impatient frown on his face.

“It is. Keep digging.”

Yunho takes the eldest’ right, watching eagerly as if something wildly grotesque is about to pop out of the dirt at any moment. Mingi is at his side with a flashlight in hand. Wooyoung also has a flashlight but rather than being useful with it, he finds pointing it right into Yeosang’s eyes far more entertaining. San every so often swats at his shoulder or nudges him in the ribs until the other begrudgingly shifts the flashlight to illuminate the hole.

“Isn’t there, I don’t know, a better option? I mean, this can’t be the only bobble-headed bimbo buried in this cemetery.” Mingi shifts from foot to foot, casting his eyes around as if expecting one of the other graves to begin shimmering like a loot box.

“If we were to change our progress than all that research was for absolutely nothing. We chose her, end of discussion.” Seonghwa drums his manicured nails against the satin of his blouse on his opposing bicep, eyes focused on every dirt pile shoveled up and over the grave.

“Would have been easier if it was fresh.” Jongho utters, grunting a bit when a fist sized rock joins the dirt on the tip of his shovel.

“A fresh grave lacks the appeal of history unless the deceased is nearly a hundred years old. And unless you want to stick your dick into someone’s grandmother then I suggest you complain less and dig more.”

The eldest was not to be trifled with especially on this certain little matter. This entire ordeal has been meticulously planned down to the very shovels being used, a five-star item raved about by suburban fathers on landscaping forums that Yunho was tasked to gather research on. What was once a thriving sorority twenty years prior has now become a fraternity with a cap-off at eight members— no new recruits allowed. Hongjoong had the money for it (actually his parents did— anything to keep him in college and away from them), buying the abandoned building from the college administration after it fell to ruin when tragedy befell the former chapter manager. It now has been renovated, refurbished and ultimately resurrected from its former state into a macabre dwelling fit for the campus’ ‘eight morbid freaks’ as the rest of the student body not-so lovingly calls them. Alpha-Tau-Zeta sits right at the forefront of the campus housing district, a lovely splotch of black and depressing blue amongst creamy whites and fresh beiges.

It humors Wooyoung the most, a cocky little grin smearing across his face when he hears the idle chatter of freshmen on tours from the front porch. He’ll even wait till the guides finish their little jabs at the exterior paint job and peculiar garden off in the corner to give a cheeky wave, a loud cackle following their steadfast retreat. Sometimes he will even meet them at the wrought iron fence, interrupting the chipper offering of information about every fraternity and sorority house except for there's with the tragic history behind their own. The sudden and daresay untimely death of the young, beautiful and beloved president— Y/N L/N, dated back a century ago. As written on the honorary grave sign fitted with an extended rod for better viewing from Seonghwa’s favored garden.

Jongho grimaces as does Yeosang and Wooyoung and every single one of them. The thought of lying with anything geriatric was a mood killer in every aspect.

There’s a dull thump and suddenly everyone freezes. Yunho smiles, bending over the side of the hole with his hands on his knees. “Bingo.”

Jongho and Yeosang are quick to toss the shovels away onto the grass above, narrowly missing Mingi and Wooyoung’s feet. Both make sure to voice their disgruntlement but the edge in their words die off when the rest of the loose sediment is swiped and brushed away until the sight of mahogany dressed in gold detailing comes into view.

“Holy shit—“

Hongjoong can’t help the breathy laugh, peering down at the casket in all its fortune-spent glory. “Expect nothing less for the campus’ beloved bimbo.”

“Drop the ropes down and we’ll wind them underneath the casket. Separate into two groups of three with each person grabbing the opposite ends of the ropes. When I give the signal, you’ll pull outward while we push upward. Sounds good?” Jongho gestures to the duffle bag he usually uses for work sitting beside San’s feet. No one opposes to the plan.

The ropes are retrieved with a swift unzipping and unraveled into the grave. San, Wooyoung and Mingi have ahold of the starting ends, keeping a firm grip on them as Jongho and Yeosang maneuvers each rope under the casket. That goes to say that isn’t without rocking the large chunk of crafted wood. Yeosang accidentally tilts it too far while trying to assist Jongho in getting the third rope under the corners, knocking it hard into the grave walls and inadvertently scuffing the wood. That causes Seonghwa to hiss, growing slightly antsy at the less than gentle handling of their newest… project.

“Careful, be more careful.”

“Sorry…” Yeosang sheepishly utters.

Once the opposing ends are successfully fed out from under the other side of the casket, they are swiftly handed over to Seonghwa, Hongjoong and Yunho. Jongho moves to stand at the head while Yeosang positions himself at the feet— both crouching down to wedge their hands under the wood.

“On the count of three— one, two, three!”

The six with the rope-ends move away from the hole, yanking on the ropes with gritted teeth and straining muscles. Jongho and Yeosang aid in the lifting with their hands until they can get at least one of their shoulders each under the wood.

The casket raises up, slowly and daresay unsteadily but it ascends, nonetheless. Once it clears the edges of the grave, Jongho and Yeosang shift their hands to the side where the golden latch is located in order to open it and shove with enough force to move the wooden box over and onto the grass.

Simultaneously, the ropes are dropped and everyone’s crowding around the casket like its unearthed treasure from a long-dead era. Yeosang crawls out of the grave first with a huff, offering a helping hand to Jongho who takes it without hesitation. They were going to feel all of this in the morning.

“Let’s break the lock.” Wooyoung is anxious to see you, rotted and less like the pictures they’ve seen in the shrine the college has dolled up in your honor.

“No. We need to get back to the house before we are caught.” Hongjoong’s authoritative tone offers zero room for argument. Wooyoung can’t help but pout.

“Seriously? Just a peek won’t hurt! It’s not like she’ll suddenly turn into dust and blow away.”

“I said— no.”

“Jongho, go get the van. We need to be quick,” Seonghwa turns to Yeosang, “You said the duty of the night's watchmen was due for a changeover right before the digging. How much time do we have before the next one shows up?”

Yeosang wipes a rag he had stashed in his jumpsuits pocket across his forehead, “If we started at eight and it took us— what, an hour, maybe an hour and a half at tops? Then the next watchman should be here within the next ten-twenty minutes.”

“Fuck, that’s cutting it close. Far too close.”

Far too close indeed. Once Jongho had reversed close enough for the casket to be pushed up the small retractable ramp in the back, the overhead lights from the funeral home suddenly came on and placed all eight college students in a halo of white light. It was blinding and Wooyoung swore later on that it was making the surface of his skin sizzle.

“What is that? What does that light mean?” San had a hand over his eyes in an attempt to block out the brightness, mouth running a mile a minute under a pressing pressure of the unknown.

“Looks like the ten to twenty minutes was actually just a few seconds.” Yeosang shuffles quickly towards the front end of the casket, hoisting it onto the ramp with a frazzled grunt.

“Hells-bells Yeosang!” Seonghwa hisses, quickly moving to the other end of the casket with San and Wooyoung. The trio make quick work of shoving their weight into the deadweight until it ascends the ramp and tilts hazardously on the seam of the ramp and the back of the van.

“You know I’m not good with time estimations! Especially while under pressure.”

“Only good for digging graves and having a pretty face.” Yunho teased, jumping into the back of the van to help Yeosang yank the casket over that last little stretch.

There’s a blare of a shrill alarm, crackling through the old speakers atop of stray lampposts bordering the cemetery. It causes San to startle, and if he had more hair than the mop atop of his head it would be standing up just like a cat’s when threatened. Hongjoong rounds the van with a cackle, practically launching himself through the passenger side window and into the front seat next to Jongho. Mingi shadows Yunho, following in his steps without a second's hesitation. However, rather than riding the high of adrenaline, he’s nearly on the cusp of throwing up his dinner— or rather Wooyoung’s specialty of the evening.

“Hurry up, I hear someone coming.”

“Would be easier,” Wooyoung huffs, feet slipping along the grass, “if we had a bit more help here, princess.”

Mingi pouts, adjusts his glasses before grabbing the end of the casket with Yunho and Yeosang and tugging on it until it clears the lip of the van and nearly crushes the trio's feet under the slide of its weight. The other three are quick to scramble inside the van and yank the ramp up and into the back. San has the doors closed with a less than quiet slam. It causes the entire vehicle to shake.

Jongho’s foot presses down on the gas pedal and the van jerks unsteadily forward. In the wake of grass clumps and skid marks, there’s the faintest voice beyond the black boxy body of the van yelling indiscernibly as the eight zoom off into the dead of night.

*

No one wants to acknowledge how utterly taxing it was to get the heap of glorified wood into Seonghwa and Hongjoong’s workshop. Mingi had even suggested that they remove the body for easier handling but was quickly met with several slaps to the back of the head and a very unimpressed scowl from the eldest.

“What? It was just a suggestion!”

Now all of them would be sporting their very own badges in the varying colors of purple, red and blue for their dedication to the cause (no matter how illegal it may have been). But it was worth it, hopefully. Everything was truly riding on how efficient the spell would be. And while a majority of the group had no inkling on the details of black magic and conjuring's, they did unwittingly place their utmost trust into Seonghwa whom the responsible party for everything is— and Hongjoong, his trusted yes-man.

They gathered around the casket like buzzards to roadkill. Each pair of eyes sparkling downward at the mahogany wood, awaiting in anticipation. It wasn’t always that the possibility of raising the dead let alone the campus’s once favorite it-girl twenty years prior presented itself as a boldly dressed opportunity. Jongho, Mingi and San might be the most skeptical. Seeing is believing to them. If she doesn’t raise out of the casket like Dracula after his day-rest then clearly Seonghwa and Hongjoong are nothing more than two idiots driven on the whimsy of internet-based occultist malarkey.

Wooyoung is devoted to the cause. His excitement is almost nauseating. Yunho is a bit more subdued in his own bubbling interest. Yeosang isn’t really sure what he feels, a bit of cat-killing curiosity and apprehension for the unknown. Plus, a small portion of him hopes that something happens just so that he can justify the soreness already encapsulating his muscles and that the illegality of what they had done was worth it.

The makeshift freezer that they all stood in was actually a storage closet located down in the basement (now converted into a morgue that Seonghwa and Hongjoong conducted their side hustle in— adjoining it was a funeral parlor only accessible either through the morgue or by the side entrance on the exterior of the house). Of course, none of the renovations had been permitted by the college board but what they didn’t know wouldn’t hurt them. Surely if they knew the house previously hosting their beloved queen bee was being used to run several macabre businesses out of as well as housing her now unearthed corpse— the uproar would be cataclysmic.

…

Something about that thought was quite enticing.

Seonghwa pulls on a sterile pair of gloves, their purple color looking bluer under the fluorescent lighting. He hands a pair over to Hongjoong, the latter stretching the latex over each finger and finishing with a clinical snap at the wrist.

“Ungloved hands are to be kept to yourselves, understood?” Seonghwa had no room for nonsense in his tone.

“Understood.” Yunho mimicked a poorly executed salute that Mingi and Yeosang copied.

“Do we have to do this in the freezer? It’s fucking cold in here.” Wooyoung rubbed at his arms with a shudder.

“Yes, and if you plan on whining the entire time about the cold then I suggest you make like a bat and fly off.” Seonghwa fixes the younger with a stern look, which only has enough of an impact as a pebble against a windowpane. Wooyoung rolls his eyes and turns away with a grumble, stomping out of the freezer with San on his heels. Yeosang is captured by the wrist at the last second and dragged along despite his agreement to keep his limbs to himself.

“Anyone else?”

“Think you should go, Princess. Don’t want you to faint all of a sudden at the sight of a woman.” Yunho teased with an easygoing smile.

Mingi scoffed while adjusting his glasses, “She’s dead, I hardly doubt there’s going to be much of her left in that box.”

“Never know, maybe her tits are still intact. They won’t be able to decompose if they are fake.”

“You really think so?” Mingi’s eyes widened, flickering down at the top of the casket. Images of a skeleton with large double D’s projecting themselves like an outdoor movie screening across his mind.

Jongho’s nose scrunches, “You’re both disgusting.”

“Different strokes for different folks.” Yunho replies with an added shrug.

Hongjoong is also equally off-put by the two. Which is definitely kettle and pot at this point considering the sole reason for you being unburied and brought to their frat house (and if all hells below granted wishes— the success in your resurrection) was to be the key to their sexual dilemmas, to end their virginal curses once and for all.

That’s right— you were to be the dumping grounds for every bit of inexperience and frustration coursing through their bodies. What other women denied with sneers and cattish insults passed behind manicured hands would be offered willingly by you. Was it a bit demeaning? Perhaps. Would incel stamped across their foreheads match the drapes to the carpet? Possibly. But admitting that they were utterly desperate to feel loved even if fleeting between the sheets with a dead chick they resurrected made the feeling of pathetic anguish all the more visceral.

Seonghwa chose to ignore the mindless banter, hand moving to the golden latch closest to his person. Hongjoong follows suit, lips pulling at the corners. He was far from intrigued, rather he could probably stab his own eyes out in giddy anticipation. Sure, he’s seen plenty of bodies— young, old, fat, thin, healthy, ailing. But all of them had one thing in common that you didn’t. They were recently deceased, while you have been stuck under petrichor and years of passing time, rotting away to the sound of shifting sediment and roaming insects.

Both men fiddle with the latches until they are separated, proceeding with an agreement of a curt nod. The lid of the casket is eased open, the hinges groaning from years of staying sedimentary. Inside is exactly what is expected. In the center, swathed by padded silk in the faded color of hot pink, is your shriveled up corpse. Dressed in a flashy strapless body-con dress that’s now stained by the decomposition of your skin, strappy heels that have the silver faux-leather peeled away into curls from the heat. You have various pieces of jewelry on— big gold hoops lay wonky on the pillow your head is propped on; the ear lobes they are attached to are nothing more than pieces of jerky. A matching gold necklace lays in the crevice of your collar bones and dips into the hollow alcoves of your chest, your name is written in cursive at the center of the chain. You’ve got a couple bracelets on your wrists, a few rings that now lay loose on your spindly fingers.

The duck-shape nails you adorn are pink and black cheetah print, same as your toes.

Mingi swallows, wipes at the lens of his glasses with the end of his sleeve, a shuddered breath parting from between his lips. “That— yeah, that’s a— uh huh—“

Jongho shifts to the side just in time to avoid being crushed by Mingi’s suddenly collapsing body.

“Is it because she’s a woman or because she’s dead?” He nudges Mingi’s immobile body with the toe of his work boot, facing no reaction.

“Both, probably.”

Seonghwa sighs, “Yunho, please if you will, remove him so he’s not in the way.”

Yunho bends down and simply scoops up the unconscious man’s ankles into his hands before dragging his deadweight across the cold freezer floor and out of the small room— not without knocking him into the door frame.

So you Saw that Computer Spec Post that's been floating around

And realized that the cheapest Laptop they recommend is still out of your price range but you need one for work or School.

I'm here to tell you that if you're on a serious budget, buy the older, Higher end computer. Go look for that 8th generation i7 laptop. Where I am (Canada) the models that they're suggesting as "Budget" (Current Generation i5 systems) Cost between $800-1200.

For a lot of people, they don't have $800 of budget, especially if they're a student. And If you need a computer now for work or school, and your budget is $400-ish, you have to buy what you can get

For new laptops in Canada, a New $400 laptop looks like this:

This is e-waste. This barely counts as a computer. This is so slow that your average phone has more power then it. It is so slow ten year old i5 computers will run laps around it. If you See Pentium or Celeron, the laptop is not worth your money. What you should do is go onto someplace fairly reputable, like BestBuys website, go to their laptop section, and click on the Refurbished option. Why not get something of FB marketplace? Because anything sold as Refurbished in a store has a 1 year warranty. When you're looking for older refurbished laptops, you want to buy something that's listed as an i7 with 16GB or ram and an SSD, which is similar to the other guide, but I'm here to tell you that anything that goes back even as far as the 8th generation (i7 8xxx) is going to do just fine. The other upside is that often the laptops that are in this range are of higher construction quality - better hinges, better keyboards, better screens - so you're getting a nicer laptop by purchasing something a bit older.

This Thinkpad is an absolutely stunning deal - and it's also only slightly slower then the $800 laptop that started this. If you're running excel, working with large PDFs or even running statistical models on this, you're not going to appreciably notice the loss in power over that $800 model. What you will notice though, is that it's more then twice as fast as the $400 Acer laptop above. And unlike the Acer listed earlier, you could actually play some games on this too! While not an absolute beast, it will play games like StarRail or Genshin, or even Fortnite well enough to give you some entertainment. Buy the old laptop if you need the laptop now.

TLDR

Buy the Best Quality at your Price Point, even if its older or used. A used, older i7 laptop is still an i7 laptop, and it will be better then any Celeron or Pentium laptop, even if the Pentium is brand new.

Hey, im looking into your situation with the laptop- apple does have a trade in feature. Maybe try to get a discount with a trade in process? If you are a student, laptops are also heavily discounted.

Hey, I appreciate the advice! Unfortunately my dead laptop is pretty much worthless now as a trade in (the dang thing was too old). I have managed to get ahold of a refurbished guy, so I can finally type up more script pages, yay.

Now the big issue is how immensely back-to-back electronic implosions has financially screwed me. At this point, it's not about getting the laptop, it's about climbing out of the money hole I'm stuck in. All who have donated before have seriously helped me out with this, and if anyone's willing to spare a few bucks, it would continue help immensely. 🙏

I've been working 9am to 9-10pm 7 days a week for two different contract jobs + Infested and I'm not making much money. Once I'm done with at least one of those, I'll be finishing up the monthly reward thing with my Ko-Fi + Opening up slots for commissions. Thank you in the meantime for your patience, everyone.

I ordered a new laptop today! I'm very excited about it because my old one is literally falling apart - the charger plug is so loose that I sometimes have to reach into the machine itself with needle-nose pliers and pull the socket back out so I can actually plug it up. And also the hinges on each side of the screen are fully broken. One had been broken for a while but I could manage, but on Monday the other one finally came loose. This has caused the wiring to the screen to short out and the image flickers so bad that I can't use it. I ordered an external hard drive so I can dump all my stuff onto it (I'll probably use my playstation's hdmi cable and my tv for this task) and then I'll put it all on my new laptop once it arrives. I got one from HP, 17 inch screen, good processor, solid state hard drive, etc etc. I hope this one will last a decade like my last one did.

This may very well mean a return to fic writing for me. Not having a properly functioning machine will really put the stink on any creative efforts, and my laptop's been wraggly like this for over a year. The new one (and I mean brand new - I almost got a refurbished one but one of my student workers recommended against it) will be here around August 30, and I just can't wait.

I also went running on Tuesday morning. 2 miles at 6am. Feeling chuffed as hell!

Refurbished vs. Used Laptops – Which One Should You Buy in the UK?

Introduction

If you're looking for an affordable laptop in the UK, you may come across two popular options: refurbished laptops and used laptops. While both are cheaper than buying new, they come with key differences in quality, reliability, and pricing.

In this guide, we’ll compare refurbished vs. used laptops, discuss their pros and cons, and help you decide which one is the better investment. Whether you're a student, freelancer, or business professional, you can find great deals on laptops at Clearance Giant—a trusted UK marketplace for second-hand and refurbished electronics.

What Is a Refurbished Laptop?

A refurbished laptop is a device that has been professionally restored, tested, and repaired before being resold. These laptops may have been previously owned, returned due to minor defects, or used as display models in stores.

✔ Professionally repaired and tested ✔ Certified for resale by manufacturers or trusted retailers ✔ Comes with a warranty (usually 3–12 months) ✔ May have minor cosmetic imperfections but works like new

Refurbished laptops are ideal for buyers looking for a quality-assured device at a lower price than new models.

What Is a Used Laptop?

A used laptop is sold directly by its previous owner without undergoing any professional testing or refurbishment. These laptops are usually sold as-is, meaning they may have signs of wear and tear or potential hardware issues.

✔ Cheapest option available ✔ No professional repairs or testing ✔ Usually does not come with a warranty ✔ Condition depends on how well the previous owner maintained it

Used laptops can be a budget-friendly choice but come with risks, such as hidden defects or shorter lifespans.

Refurbished vs. Used Laptops – A Quick Comparison

Refurbished laptops offer a balance between affordability and reliability, while used laptops are the best option for buyers who want the lowest price and are willing to take a risk.

Pros and Cons of Buying a Refurbished Laptop

✅ Pros:

✔ Better Reliability – Professionally tested and repaired before resale. ✔ Warranty Included – Most refurbished laptops come with a 3–12-month warranty. ✔ Certified Performance – Refurbished by the original manufacturer or a trusted retailer. ✔ Lower Price Than New – Get the same performance as a new laptop at a discounted price.

❌ Cons:

✖ More Expensive Than Used Laptops – Higher quality means a slightly higher price. ✖ Limited Availability – You might not find the latest models refurbished immediately.

Pros and Cons of Buying a Used Laptop

✅ Pros:

✔ Cheapest Option – Used laptops are the most affordable. ✔ More Models Available – You can find rare or discontinued models at low prices.

❌ Cons:

✖ No Warranty – Most used laptops don’t come with protection if something goes wrong. ✖ No Quality Assurance – You’ll need to check the device carefully before buying. ✖ Shorter Lifespan – Components may be older and more prone to failure.

Where to Buy Refurbished and Used Laptops in the UK?

If you're looking for a safe and reliable place to buy a refurbished or used laptop, check out these platforms:

Best Places to Buy Refurbished Laptops in the UK

✔ Clearance Giant – Find high-quality refurbished laptops at unbeatable prices. ✔ Apple Refurbished Store – Great for certified refurbished MacBooks. ✔ Dell Outlet UK – Discounted refurbished Dell laptops with warranties. ✔ Amazon UK (Renewed Section) – Offers manufacturer-certified refurbished laptops.

Best Places to Buy Used Laptops in the UK

✔ Clearance Giant – A trusted marketplace for used electronics. ✔ eBay UK – Large selection of used laptops from private sellers. ✔ Facebook Marketplace & Gumtree – Local sellers offering used laptops at low prices.

Which One Should You Choose?

Choosing between a refurbished and used laptop depends on your budget and needs:

💡 Choose a Refurbished Laptop If: ✔ You want a reliable and tested device. ✔ You need a warranty for protection. ✔ You prefer a certified product from a trusted seller.

💡 Choose a Used Laptop If: ✔ You are on a tight budget and need the cheapest option. ✔ You trust the seller and can inspect the laptop yourself. ✔ You’re willing to take a risk to save money.

Final Verdict: Which Is Better?

If reliability and performance matter to you, a refurbished laptop is the best choice. It may cost slightly more than a used laptop, but you’ll get a warranty and a professionally restored device.

However, if you’re looking for the cheapest deal and don’t mind potential risks, a used laptop may be the right option for you.

Regardless of what you choose, always buy from a trusted platform like Clearance Giant to ensure you get the best value for your money!

Conclusion

Both refurbished and used laptops offer cost-effective alternatives to buying new. By understanding their differences, you can make an informed decision based on your budget and needs.
