Character Intro: Felis (Kingdom of Ichor)
Nicknames- The Purr by Kéfi
Mother by her daughter
Age- 39 (immortal)
Location- Arcadia, Olympius
Personality- With a pechant for luxurious clothes and flashy jewelry, she's intoxicating & intimidating to many. She's unapologetic when it comes to her indulges in all kinds of sensory pleasures while also being intelligent, sassy, and fiercely protective of those she cares about. She's single.
She has the standard abilities of a goddess. Being the Titaness of cats her other powers/abilities include being able to shapeshift into/communicate with felines (wild cat species) as well as adapting feline physiology to her physical form (like cat falling, claw retraction, nictating membrane protrusion, pheromone generation, vertical pupils, etc...).
Felis is one of the lesser known Titanesses in the public & pantheon. It's frequently rumored that she was spared from most of the horrors of the Titanomachy due to being one of Kronos' lovers.
She has one tattoo- the Greek numerical symbol for the number 9 on the nape of her neck.
Felis wears her long dark caramel brown hair in loose curls. She loves the Glory's Crown ambrosia honey hair spray.
She has one child, Ailuros (goddess of cats & warfare). They keep in touch mostly through text and they always see each other when Felis travels to New Olympus. They spend time together whether it's a late night shopping spree, a late night movie, or visiting The Frozen Spoon for some ice cream sandwiches.
Felis primarily lives in the state of Arcadia in a small Meditteranean style house which she built herself. Inside, various animal prints (cats) are all around along with stylish suede & leather furniture. She fell in love with the location for the acres and acres of land she owns there as well. There's an enclosement on her property that houses her pets/companions. Wild cats- including panthers, tigers, jaguars, pumas, cheetahs, & even a snow leopard or two. The responsibility of taking care of them is really important to her.
In the mornings she normally stretches for an hour before spending time in her personal spa room where she indulges in a mud bath.
A go-to drink for her is a coconut cream martini. She also likes white russians, rum & cokes, cosmopolitans, pink squirrel cocktails (a drink made with heavy cream, creme de noyaux, and white creme de cacao), horchata, & dulce de leche milkshakes from The Frozen Spoon. Her usuals from The Roasted Bean are the olympian sized iced caramel latte and iced vanilla latte (with extra whipped cream).
She loves getting the steak & egg breakfast burrito (with extra sriracha) along with a nicoise salad from The Bread Box.
A physical activity that Felis enjoys above anything else is running. Running through the dense green forests of Arcadia in a shapeshifted form (a lean fast cheetah, a stealthy panther, or a powerful tiger) fills her veins with primal excitement!
She's well known on Fatestagram for her ultra sultry posts, her iconic walk starting up an online challenge where users posts videos of themselves doing an impression of Felis' unmistakable hip sway strut.
Aside from vanilla ice cream sandwiches, another favorite frozen treat of hers is a gigantic bowl of cinnamon roll ice cream topped with lots of whipped cream, white chocolate sauce, & dulce de leche.
Some of her favorite beauty products include the Olmorfia gel nail polish in "salted caramel macaron" (a soft glossy brown color), the La Petit Amour lip paint in the shade "a cinnamon affair", the Graces' Glam glitter liquid eyeliner in the shade "cocoa glaze" (does the perfect cat eye every time), and the Luxuria shimmering body oil in "golden dusk."
In the pantheon Felis is good friends with Matikós (god of performance), Kéfi (goddess of mirth); they often go shoe shopping, Aisa (goddess of lot & fate); they go jewelry shopping & clubbing, Charis (goddess of charm), Panigýri (goddess of festivals), Epimetheus (Titan god of afterthought), Kósmima (goddess of adornment), Dolos (god of deception & treachery), Rhapso (goddess of sewing), Selene (Titaness of the moon), Philotes (goddess of sex, friendship, & affection), Sponde (goddess of libations), and Enyo (goddess of war, destruction, bloodlust, & devastation).
She doesn't get along well with the water based deities- especially The Nesoi and Aegaeon (god of sea storms).
Outside the pantheon, Felis is friends with quite a few maenads!
She recently had a falling out with her best friend Lycana (Titaness of lycanthropy).
She's the godmother to Thespios (god of acting).
There's never a shortage of jewelry catalouges in her mail!
Two of her guilty pleasures are tuna fish empanadas & sushi (particularly yellow tail sashimi).
Felis is well aware that she lives far beyond her means calling expensive jewelry her weakness. There have been times when she has been sleepwalking, found standing in front of jewelry stores. Even though credit card bills are mounting, she's grateful for the "donations" gifted to her by a few of her friends. One such gift was 500,000 drachmas from Dolos which Felis used to buy this exquisite art deco style diamond & emerald necklace at an auction!
For work/means of income she models for/endorses Maison du Drame, Euryphaessa, Heavenly Spark, Phaelam, Megaleio, ýfasma óneiro, & Ouránio Théama.
As far as her love life goes Felis will partake in the occassional hookup or one night stand, calling it "taking care of her itch." Former flings include Helios (Titan god of the sun), Aplistos (god of avarice), and Athos (one of The Ourea). It's often been rumored that she had an affair with Krios (Titan god of stars & constellations), who was the former ruler of the Underworld, but she denies this.
Lately Felis has been casually seeing Koros (god of surfeit & disdain). She calls their connection purely chemical and animalistic, with her refusing to be seen in public with him. Felis describes Koros' music as "rusty nails being scraped against adamantine glass."
She was the one that started up the talk of Nemean Lions being an endangered species.
Some of her favorite gifts Felis ever recieved include the "lion's paw" designer heels from Kéfi, a snow leopard fur jacket from Aisa, & a limited edition leopard print Megaleio handbag from Rhapso.
Felis mostly eats through hunting (in her shapeshifted form), dining out, and ordering in. She barely cooks, except for her tuna moussaka!
In her free time she enjoys the nighttime activities like clubbing, going to the opera, and shopping. During the day, Felis mainly lounges around, watches TV, being alone with her thoughts, or sleeps in- quite fond of taking naps.
Her all time favorite meal is a steak cooked medium rare topped with tomato gravy.
"It’s such a waste when pretty things get broken."

a little ways out, at a halfway point between her temp abode and l’academiae furorum, was a small circle of shops, an outdoor promenade, a common pitstop for many. most importantly for violetta, it was where she sourced her coconut cream latte, froth up to the brim with a sprinkling of nutmeg and no less than three shots of espresso. the lull of a morning smoke mixed with the kick from the drink brought her to what felt like a reasonable middle — depending on the day. sometimes, a shot of rum was needed. “ dude’s name’s something winded and tedious, like bartholomew or maximillian, which he has now resigned to as a power play, but it’s purely ‘cause ‘ bart ’...or ‘ max ’ made him feel tiny — total downer. it’s not about size, ” violetta drolls, watching the bald man — the object of her tale, through the café window. she rest her drink and then her arms on the already occupied standing table as she spoke; purposeful, since an audience was needed. “ between that and the fact that his wife is fucking the pool boy, which he can’t call her out on because he can’t do better, barty displaces his anger onto innocent baristas. ” the man was flailing his arms in a dramatic fashion, spit sputtering as he pushed his drink onto the counter, likely demanding a re-do or a refund. a sigh, and then sunglasses are pushed upward to rest on her head, revealing golden under-eye masks, as she peers beside her. “ what do you reckon bart does for a living ? ” ( @furorestarters )
#furore.starter#plz free to assume connections.... it's my passion#this is violetta jus deciding 2 gossip ab some strange man w ur muse . it's not much but it's honest work#violetta / thread .

Online Dating In Clark County, Nevada
Let’s be honest, Las Vegas isn’t the first place that comes to mind when one thinks about trying to find true love or even necessarily a great first date and/or a fun, meaningful six month relationship. Instead, it’s the destination where you met that random guy you would never have looked at twice outside of Vegas, but – hey – you were wearing a sequin tube top and what happens in Vegas… You see where I’m going with this? But, here’s the thing, some of us actually live here. I know, I know. It’s a novel idea. And while most locals would rather endure an unmedicated root canal than drive to The Strip, park at a casino and navigate through drunk tourists double fisting foot-long margaritas, there are plenty of hidden gems throughout our neon oasis in the desert. Image via LinksmanJD on Flickr.
Fremont East
Until very recently, I lived most of my four years in Sin City a few blocks from Las Vegas Boulevard and while there really is a lot The Strip has to offer, more on that later, I would always prefer to get away from the tourists and the traffic and the blinding Ed Hardy get-ups and head downtown to Fremont East. Let’s keep it real, this is where the cool kids congregate and where some of the most fun, unique places this city has to offer are located. I suggest starting your evening at Bar + Bistro, home of monthly vintage bike night, for some tapas and sangria before making your way down Fremont Street to pop in and out of fun bars while making witty, flirtatious and, most importantly, funny banter. From the bar where you sometimes wish everyone didn’t know your name and your ex wasn’t permanently parked at the bar, The Griffin, to one of the best places to drink a beer and listen to live music, The Beauty Bar, to a place you can play your favorite arcade game while sipping on a vodka tonic, Insert Coins, to the only place in town I know of where you can get on a teeter-totter with your date, Park, the bars on Fremont East have it all. And if I could find a guy who would take me to my favourite piano bar, Don’t Tell Mama, he would pretty much have my heart forever. Image via LinksmanJD on Flickr.
The Beat
While I went here, Republic Bar + Kitchen, on my first online date in Las Vegas, I think the majority of people meeting someone from the internet for the first time worry about a few things: a) Can I make a quick getaway if I’m not feeling it?, b) How big of a time investment do I need to make for someone I may or may not have anything to talk about with? and c) Where is a safe place I will likely survive the first meeting if my date ends up being a serial killer? This is where coffee shops come to the rescue. Sunrise Coffee is definitely my favorite coffee spot in town and makes me feel like I’m back in Seattle (which, in my world, is a very good thing). They are local, independent, serve vegetarian and vegan-friendly fare and draw a crowd that my friends from back home would look at and say, “This is Vegas?” Last, but not least, check out The Beat for your first online date. If you end up with too many awkward silences while sipping your latte, you can thumb through their collection of records or stroll through Emergency Arts. Image via lmundy202 on Flickr.
Nove at the Palms
For a romantic date in Vegas, I suggest taking your special someone to The Strip for a delicious dinner and then out to a show. One thing we have an abundance of here in Las Vegas is a plethora of fine dining options. But, beware, plenty of these options also come with a hefty price tag. Luckily, many restaurants here offer a pre-fixe menu with smaller, more affordable alternatives to their regular priced entrees. Some of my favorite meals I’ve ever had have been here on The Strip. For Japanese cuisine, and a meal that will still make your mouth water two years later just thinking about it, try Shibuya. I still dream about the rock shrimp tempura and the Kobe beef. Another favorite is Nove at the Palms. The dinner I had there is still imprinted on my heart and the view alone is worth the visit. Wherever you choose to dine for your special night, if you give it a quick ten minutes search of the best new restaurants on The Strip, you’ll find just the right one and definitely won’t be disappointed. Trust me. After dinner, I suggest taking in one of the Cirque du Soleil shows. You know I’m still waiting for someone to take me to see Michael Jackson ONE, but you really can’t go wrong with the Beatles LOVE. You’ll leave holding hands, singing songs and believing that all you need is, in fact, love. Image via lmundy202 on Flickr.
Valley of Fire
Dating Service Las Vegas
For a casual date in (or around) Vegas, I have a few suggestions. If you hop on your card and head north with a packed picnic basket, Valley of Fire would be the perfect spot for a sweet lunch with a gorgeous view. Another option is taking a stroll through the botanical gardens at The Springs Preserve. A place that will be sure to impress, and if you bring your camera will provide plenty of vintage Vegas inspired photos, is the Neon Boneyard. This is the spot where the signs of Vegas yesteryear, or what I like to call the Elvis and Priscilla Vegas, have gone to their loving resting place. Trust me, your date will love it, but be sure to book a tour. If a fantastic, casual meal is what you’re in the mood for, please head to my happy place, Yama Sushi. Try the Sun on the Beach roll (I’m not kidding when I say it will change your life) and tell them Kathleen sent you. Image via lmundy202 on Flickr.
The Golden Nugget Pool
For a fun and adventurous date, it would be fun to head back down to Fremont during the day for a swim at my favorite hotel, The Golden Nugget. There, you will find the most magical pool you’ve ever seen. Don’t believe me? TripAdvisor once listed The Tank as the only US pool in their Top Ten Most Amazing Hotel Pools in the World list. This is where you can slide through a glass-enclosed aquarium with sharks. Yes, you read that right. Look into it here. While you’re down on Fremont, take your date on a zipline through the Fremont Street Experience. These rides will be offered again in the fall. Another adventurous activity is a trek to Red Rock Canyon to check out the petroglyphs. Last, but not least, if you’re looking for an adventurous and very memorable date in Vegas, I suggest a helicopter ride over The Strip at night. An added bonus would be to softly play Kanye West’s “All of the Lights” in the background because, in this town, it is Vegas everywhere we are. Image via LinksmannJD on Flickr

The Yule and Winter Solstice Menu: Recipes for the Winter Holidays
The holiday season offers dishes that warm the body and comfort the soul. At the Winter Solstice the focus is on rich, hearty, and nurturing. The season celebrates displays and masterful cooking through roasted dishes, slow cooked stews, bright salads with pops of fruity flavor, and sweets that double as delicious gifts. Seasonal fruits and vegetables include beets, bok choy, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, Citrus Fruits, Cranberries, dates, escarole, fennel, horseradish, kale, parsnips, pears, persimmons, pomegranate, radishes, sweet potatoes, and winter squash.
At this time of the year I like to honor the traditions and the foods that my family cooked. I love the nostalgic feeling of creating recipes that my parents had at Christmastime, so you may find recipes inspired by that. Do you have a dish that reminds you of the winter season and December holidays? Is there something you traditionally make for your Yule or Winter Solstice celebrations that I didn’t put on this list?

Arcana Pumpkins Crave... Reviews!
I thought that I was the kind of person who could not wear pumpkin perfumes—they were either too spicy (lookin’ at you, cinnamon!) or too buttery, or too something. Leave it to Arcana to pull my pumpkin-spice-perfume-loathing self out of my mire of self pity with her Pumpkins Crave collection. They’re all lovely in different ways, but Pumpkins Crave Quietude is my favorite of the bunch. I highly recommend it for those who typically do not do well with spice notes and who are looking for a seasonal pumpkin scent.
Pumpkins Crave Quietude
Scent description: Soft vanilla, white amber, white musk, Mysore sandalwood, sweet pumpkin, and a tiny pinch of white pepper.
This may possibly be the pumpkin scent of my dreams (it’s a close tie with Moonalisa’s The Rumpkin!). It’s not a traditional spicy pumpkin scent—I would call it fragrant instead. It’s fragrant, dry sandalwood and glowing, sweet, musky pumpkin that reads like a pumpkin-scented beeswax candle. The sandalwood and pumpkin complement each other beautifully, creating a scent that does evoke contentment and peace. The amber comes out more with time, lending some sparkly depth.
Pumpkins Crave Trees
Scent description: Gently spiced pumpkin cookies with Arcana Wildcraft's Trees accord (jammy fir absolute, sugared pine, earthy black spruce, Canadian fir needle, a touch of Atlas cedarwood).
This one is like a dry Christmas tree (that’s beginning to lose its needles) with gentle wafts of pumpkin spice blowing around it on a breeze. It’s an unusual and beautiful scent. It loses some of its starkness with time and becomes richer as the sweet, fragrant pumpkin gains more prominence. The trees and the pumpkin blend together more, instead of being like two opposing notes sitting side-by-side.
Pumpkins Crave Bread
Scent description: Sweet pumpkin flesh with warm, baking bread, barley malt, cassia, maple candy, and pumpkin spice.
Warm, crusty, dark, baking bread with a honey glaze on top and a gentle sprinkle of pumpkin spice. Beautiful. At first I smell a good bit of the sticky sweet maple candy (sometimes maple takes over scents for me and all I smell is maple syrup), but in time it melts into the rest of the blend like honey.
Pumpkins Crave Treats
Scent description: Rum-laced caramel, cane sugar, pumpkin custard, and delicate, vanilla-infused marshmallows.
Mmmm on first sniff this smells like a warm, spiced rice pudding to my nose! It's creamy and cozy and comforting. Oof this smells delicious. There's an Irish eatery here in Mobile that has a bread pudding with an Irish whiskey sauce that is amazing, and this smells like a spiced pumpkin creme brulee doused in that sauce.
Pumpkins Crave Honey
Scent description: Spiced calabaza and beeswax candles smothered in acacia honey, buckwheat honey, and mead.
Gentle, dusty pumpkin spice sweetened with thick, creamy, gooey, golden honey. The beeswax is warm, sticky, a little smoky, and is lending the "dusty" vibe. This is a lovely classic and complex pumpkin blend that is sure to be a crowd pleaser. It's neither too spicy nor too sweet. Wonderful.
Pumpkins Crave Peaches
Scent description: Glowing golden musk with caramelized peach, maple sugar, and softly spiced pumpkin cakes.
This sounded like such a delicious and offbeat combo, and I was looking forward to trying it! It's wonderful. It smells like a warm peach cobbler, honest to goodness. The peaches are potent and wonderful and delicious as Arcana's peaches always are, and the warm, spiced pumpkin produces an effect not unlike a syrupy cobbler hot out of the oven waiting for an ice cream topper. I can't believe how good this is!
Pumpkins Crave Pointe Shoes
Scent description: Creamy pumpkin and sweet Korintje cinnamon with Arcana Wildcraft’s Two Finger Ballet (a delicate blend of French vanilla crème, white amber, sugared vanilla beans, caramel, and the smallest dab of opium).
I haven't tried Pointe Shoes on its own, but it's now on my wishlist! This is a lovely and innocent creamy pumpkin, with just the tiniest hint of fine, dry cinnamon, with lashings of vanilla cream. This is a cool, delicious iced pumpkin latte without the coffee.
Pumpkins Crave Ganesha
Scent description: Pumpkin spice and sweet pumpkin with Arcana Wildcraft's Ganesh (A large, joyous snoutful of coconut cake is snugly wrapped in honey, vanilla, Indonesian clove, green coconut, and a warm blend of spices).
I've never tried Arcana's fan favorite Ganesha on its own, so this is a brand new experience for me. It's lovely! At first I get a punchy, smooth, and fragrant clove, golden sticky-sweet honey, and spices, but the clove quickly settles in and allows the honeyed coconut cake to shine amidst the spics. This is gorgeous and now Ganesha is on my wishlist!
Pumpkins Crave Resins
Scent description: Gilded amber, black amber, 10 year old labdanum absolute, black tea, and boozy golden gourd.
This is a glorious blend for Halloween. It smells like a dark and opulent parlour alight with glowing jack o'lanterns. The resins are plush, moody, and a little smoky. A brooding and grown up seasonal blend!

Character Intro: Psamathe (Kingdom of Ichor)
Nicknames- Dimples by Proteus
Sam, Nerd by her siblings
Age- 18
Location- Underwater Kingdom
Personality- She is quirky and cool- a true individualist. She's a self proclaimed "nerd" with great potential for business savvy. When she's not home, her favorite place to be is on the beach, feeling the warm golden sand beneath her feet. She’s in a relationship.
She’s a nereid nymph. She has pale green and silver colored scales on her tail.
Sam still lives with her family & is currently taking online college courses, hoping to get a degree in business administration. She's also taking a couple extra classes on arenology, the study of sand.
She's confident in her curvy figure. She really looks up to one of The Graces, Thalia (who's also plus-sized). She's a big fan of their fashion brand No.3 & Co. Sam also admires Aetna (goddess of volcanoes).
Sam is currently starting up her own business through a loan which was given to her by her older sister Actaea (Tea)- designing & making decorative colorful sand terrariums. Psamathe is also using the help of her sister Themisto with designing the official website.
Her go-to drink is a pineapple rum punch. She also likes coconut water, lychee flavored soda, mineral algae water, beer, and the lava flow- a frozen drink made with rum, strawberries, bananas, pineapple juice, & coconut cream. Her usual from The Roasted Bean is an olympian sized iced coconut latte.
Her favorite dessert is haupia (coconut pudding). Sam also likes her mom's pineapple rum cake.
She can also play the acoustic guitar & ukulele.
Sam's favorite vacation so far has been when she and her dad traveled to Olympius (where they went to the state of Naxos), where they sand surfed along the sand dunes!
She also has a part-time job as a co-instructor at a hula dance studio in the outer currents of her family’s neighborhood. She loves teaching the other kids and her younger siblings how to hula dance.
Her favorite meal is a shrimp burger (added with avocado & cilantro), a 20 piece fish nuggets (with spicy mango salsa dipping sauce) with large seaweed fries. She also enjoys her father's pineapple fried rice & her mom's seafood mix macaroni salad.
There's this perfume she loves wearing that smells of coconut.
Sam once cursed out her sister's ex Polyphemus online on Fatestagram after she found out that he was cyber stalking her.
She has a boyfriend named Proteus. His family herds seals and he's a well known performing contortionist in a circus. He's even trying to start up his own business, becoming a professional performer and a seal trainer. Sam really admires how fearless and non judgemental he is & his offbeat quirky personality. They had sex with each other for the first time near a sand dune at a private beach of one of his father's friends. Their first date was at a fireworks show in the state of Crete.
Sam's favorite gift so far has been from her successful model sister Thetis, who gave her a Diamond Ave. seal shaped jeweled clutch!
In her free time (when she's on the surface), she loves surfing the sand dunes, bike riding, sunbathing, and looking for seashells near the coves. At home, Sam loves cooking, watching TV, whether it's tuning in to The Dynasty of The Vain and Powerful with her mom and sisters & the latest soap You Brought Me The Ocean or The Hidden Treasures of Atlantis with her father. She also loves watching documentaries.
"Underwater may be my home, but the beach is my hometown."

August 3, 2018: As the Sun Sets - In Banpo
Golden hour is over; we threw our caps in the air during the evening of graduation; now we were watching our final sunsets in Banpo Hangang Park.
Night is falling and our time in Seoul is ending.
안녕하세요,
Friday, August 3, 2018: Water hell!
I was supposed to go do a tour around the Blue House (청와대/Cheong Wa Dae), the official residence of South Korea's president, Moon Jaein, at 2 PM. We were supposed to meet in front of Gyeongbokgung Palace at 1:30, and my plan was to go earlier and tour around the palace, since it's already been six weeks, yet I still needed to visit the most popular tourist spot in Seoul.
I woke up at 11 AM, just in time for Davy's Cheong Wa Dae tour to start, and checked my phone to see how hot it was.
"Feels like 114 degrees".
Well, that was the end of my day. I suppose I could always visit the palace on my next visit in Seoul. If it survived thousands of years, I was certain it will survive just a few years more.
My phone lit up with messages from Kakao Talk.
Our Naengmyeon Homies group chat was living up to its name. Valentino wanted to leave at 11:45 AM as he was still finishing his draft to send to the KUISC director in regards to Minki-hyung (민기형) not getting his certificate for participating in the buddy program. They said that since he missed the Boryeong Mud Festival (he told them he was sick, but we know he went to the booze cruise with us), he lost participation points, therefore rendering him unable to receive a certificate. Of course Minki-hyung (민기형) was very upset, so as a group, we started sending the KUISC director emails proving why Minki-hyung (민기형) deserved that certificate and the Best Buddy award that was given during graduation.
Even though Minki-hyung (민기형) didn't win Best Buddy award, the whole auditorium knew how popular and special he is to our group since we were the only ones to cheer for him every time his face showed up on the KUISC highlights video.
Valentino said Cara woke up vomiting but was still willing to get bibim-naengmyeon with us; so, we met up in front of Frontier House and went to the usual naengmyeon place, just by the cheap kimbap restaurant.
During our naengmyeon meal, Cara nonchalantly grabbed the mini trash bin on our table and vomited. Only I and a Korean lady next to us noticed her vomiting. Valentino, who was sitting next to Cara, looked over the table next to her to see the Korean motioning him to check on Cara with her eyes.
After the meal, we decided to mix our credit cards on the table and pick one card to pay the bill with, and I didn't realized I whipped out my Frontier key card; Cara also did the same, but after we left the restaurant, she noticed that she forgot her Frontier key card on the table and she pushed me to ask if they have it on the counter, which they did.
Water hell! Did I just have a déjà vu moment?
On the way back to Frontier, we talked about how much we would miss Sulbing and authentic bingsu in Seoul, so we stopped by Anouk, a bingsu place just next to the Frontier stairs. We got the God of Bingsu for ₩18,000 with green tea, black choco, and red cherry flavors.
While waiting for our bingsu, we started creating memes from last night's drinking videos, such as Joyce saying "water hell" really fast.
We would make terrible memes incorporating "water" and "hell" together so much that Hyungki-hyung (형기형) asked the group chat:
Hyungki-hyung (형기형): wth is water hell
In which Cara corrected him with "water hell is water hell"
Our table erupted in laughter.
Matt also took a picture of the sign in Anouk directing where to get water and attached the word "hell" by it, and also posted a link to an apparent email he sent to the KUISC director in the group chat, just for it to be redirected in a never ending page of "water hell" repeated over and over.
Water hell, right?
We went back to our dorms and I sat on the lounge in the third floor just to cool off and I started realizing how empty it was becoming. It used to be loud and busy, with Ben's music playing in one end of the floor and guys singing across the other end.
Naengmyeon and bingsu left me tired, so I slept through the rest of the afternoon.
I woke up at 7 PM to the group chat in Banpo Hangang Park for the Dokkaebi Night Market (도깨비야시장). We've been talking about going to Dokkaebi Night Market since we saw the posters in Line 6 during the first weeks in KUISC yet nobody had decided when and where to go, since the night market was every weekend in four places: Dongdaemun Design Plaza, Cheonggyecheon Stream (Mojeongyo Bridge-Gwangtonggyo Bridge), Yeouido Hangang Park, and Banpo Hangang Park.
I wanted to go to Yeouido Hangang Park since it's the biggest out of the four and I haven't been to the park and took a picture with the "I Seoul You" sign; but Minki-hyung (민기형) insisted we go to Banpo Hangang Park because he's never been there and it's still as lively even though there's less people than Yeouido Hangang Park. This was going to be our last hangout in Seoul together.
I arrived at Banpo Hangang Park at 9 PM and bought pork tteokbokki and earl gray chocolate latte at Oppa truck with Carolina before heading to the center of the park just next to the Banpo Bridge with her, Matt, Florence, Minki-hyung (민기형), Jordan, Harley, Peter, Darren, Cindy, Angela, Lina, Maite, and Davy. Angela's roommate was kind enough to let us borrow a picnic blanket, so we sat down and played music with Matt's speaker.
Of course, since iKON just released their mini album Continue the day before, I blasted "죽겠다 (Killing Me)" during the night.
After being six weeks in Seoul, I never had the chance to try dakgangjeong (닭강정/sweet and spicy chicken), so I went back to buy a sweet dakgangjeong (닭강정) at Double 8.
Wendelyn joined us after; Valentino and Cara wanted to join with us too, but being too far from Frontier made them not want to go and asked us to meet with us around Anam later instead.
Darren, Angela, Cindy, Harley, Jordan and I went to the opposite side of the bridge to Sebitseom (세빛섬), which are artificial islands with different centers and buildings, such as for arcade games, performing arts, etc.
We took the bus and subway going home, where Davy taught me and Lina some tricks to work the Rubik's cube, although we both did not pick up any new knowledge.
Erin messaged us that she was giving away her remaining 10+ SF9's Sensuous albums from when she bought 40 albums to try and get a fan sign pass to meet the boy group.
When we reached Anam, everybody dispersed but Wendelyn, Florence, Matt, and I headed to McDonald's to meet with Valentino and Cara. Peter volunteered to pick up the box of SF9 albums at CJ International from Erin and kept it in his room until I picked it up later that night. We stopped by the arcade place where Wendelyn was trying to win a white bear plush. There was a guy next to us on the Pokémon claw machine trying to get bulbasaur, which was on the verge of falling. He left to get his money changed and I tried my luck to get the Pokémon plush - which I did.
My first ever claw machine win.
Matt had to drag us out of the arcade place because we were so close to spending a lot of money to get Wendelyn her white bear.
At McDonald's, I had Valentino sign my taegukgi (태극기) since he was leaving in the morning to reunite with his family in Seoul, before leaving for Japan.
They all headed straight to a noraebang (노래방), but I wasn't worried about not going because I would still see them the next day. I went back to my dorm to start packing and picked up the SF9 box from Peter, which included a Blackpink poster and BAP's Ego album. Thanks Erin!
Sophie wanted one copy of the album for each version, while Valentino, Matt, and Cara each wanted one for their own. Carolina asked to keep the remaining albums so she could mail them back home in Brazil.
I finished packing my main luggage within minutes, just for me to finally realize that I needed to buy another one. I was so terrified that I might be charged excess because the main luggage only had souvenirs and extra materials I collected and bought from all the way in Hong Kong two months ago. I really needed to get an extra bag to fit in my clothes.
It was barely 2 AM and everybody was still at the noraebang (노래방) and Lina wanted to meet up with me in front of Frontier so we could head to meet with the group together; but first, she needed to pick up a few things from Maite at the Global House. Maite was leaving in the morning and gave us a Don Q Pasion Puerto Rican rum since she couldn't take it back with her to Puerto Rico.
Sophie. Thai. Jon. Maite. Four gone, more to go.
Lina needed to stack up on the cheap cigarettes in Seoul for her to take home to Singapore, in which she bought a total of 21 packs from two convenience stores. The poor guys working probably had so much questions by the way their eyes reacted when Lina told them to give her 21 packs with her basic Korean skills.
Her biggest worry is getting them through the Singaporean customs since the country places a very expensive tax on cigarettes.
So, Lina and I were on our way to the noraebang (노래방), when we bumped into Darren, who was headed home and invited him to join us.
"I can't. Maybe next time?" he said.
"There will never be a next time," Lina responded. That phrase hit me how close we are to perhaps never seeing each other again.
That was the last time I would ever see Darren.
At the noraebang (노래방), Matt and Cara were screaming love songs, while rocking their head back and forth as if they were hosting a screamo concert. Wendelyn, Valentino, Asra, Salli, Joyce, Florence, and Peter were sitting around Matt and Cara, while drinking soju bottles and Maite's Puerto Rican rum. Salli was so excited to pour everyone a cup of the rum, since, as another Puerto Rican, it was her favorite alcoholic drink.
We all knew that it was going to our last noraebang (노래방) session together, so when we ended our final one with the most iconic song of the last six weeks.
김범수의 "보고 싶다"/Kim Beomsu's "Bogo Shipda/I Miss You".
Matt, Tino, Cara, and Peter hailed a taxi cab to take them back to Frontier House since they were feeling lazy walking back up the Frontier stairs (and the taxi cab was only ₩3,000), while Lina and I walked on the way back. She picked up extra cardboard boxes so she could place her excess luggage in it and ask Florence to mail them to her home in Singapore.
It was four in the morning on Saturday, August 4. I was leaving South Korea the next day.
When I returned to my dorm, Matt messaged us a copy of the email he sent to the KUISC director regarding Minki-hyung (민기형)'s buddy certificate, which showcased how much he went above and beyond his responsibilities to make sure we had the best six weeks to the point that he wasn't even our buddy anymore. He was our friend who had partaken in every single adventure with us in KUISC and outside the program.
Minki-hyung (민기형) welcomed all of us (group 3 or not) into the circle and we really appreciate him immensely.
The group chat became emotional and started reminiscing the funny memories we had created with Minki-hyung (민기형) in the last six weeks. We really hope to reunite with him one day, but until then!
고마워요,
Chris 「크리스」
P.S. The homecoming event for the students who just came back from studying abroad is tomorrow, so I hope to use that event as a means to relive the good times and as a reminder to never forget everyone's contribution to making this year's summer worthwhile.
P.P.S. I hope to finish writing and post the fourth and final blog of the "As the Sun Sets" series, which is the last blog of my entire study abroad adventures within the next few days. I plan to follow up with a few blogs on the homecoming event and some informational blogs regarding the study abroad program.

——————————
“Okay, spill it.” Padmé looks up to see Sabé looming over her, suspicion in her dark eyes. Padmé frowns.
“What?” She asks questioningly. Sabé arches an eyebrow and sits down beside Padmé primly.
“You’ve got the hots for someone.” Sabé says accusingly. When Padmé scoffs at the idea, Sabé cuts her off. “Save it. I know you do- you’ve had that weird look on your face for the past half hour and I know it’s not from the biochemistry textbook you’re reading.”
At Sabé’s words, Padmé stops trying to talk, choosing to clam up stubbornly instead. Sabé lets silence sit in the air for a moment, watching her friend concentrate on her work. Then Sabé breaks face and jostles Padmé.
“C'mon, Ami,” she says, using the nickname she has for Padmé, “tell me all the details. I want to know everything.”
“I don’t have to tell you anything about him.” Padmé says quietly, keeping a calm face. She realizes her slip-up too late; Sabé’s eyes light up with glee.
“Aha! So it is a guy…” Sabé says silkily. Padmé curses her own stupidity under her breath but doesn’t let out any other information. Sabé remains unsatisfied and sidles up to Padmé, batting her eyelashes like a child asking for a treat. At this point, Padmé knows Sabé won’t stop until she gets what she wants. With a sigh, Padmé turns to Sabé.
“He’s just a guy I’ve seen a couple times. It’s nothing substantial.” Padmé tells Sabé, who listens with a victorious gleam in her eyes.
“Is he good-looking?” Sabé asks eagerly. Padmé’s mind flashes to blue eyes, tanned skin, and wheat-gold hair. She shrugs vaguely and Sabé whacks her arm.
“Have you talked to him?” Sabé says, fishing for the scoop on the guy.
“A little, but it was in a professional context.” Padmé says, continuing on when Sabé shoots her an unimpressed glance. “He was making me coffee- it wasn’t exactly the place for riveting conversation.” Sabé’s eyes widen.
“Wait- does he work at a coffee shop? That is such a stereotypical meet-cute. Of course, you of all people would fall in love with a hot guy at a coffee shop.” Sabé says, mock irritation coloring her words. Padmé frowns and goes back to reading, but Sabé isn’t finished.
“So are you going to ask him out?” Sabé asks curiously. Padmé’s face grows apprehensive.
“I barely know the guy, it’d be weird if I did that.” She says, at which Sabé rolls her eyes.
“Padmé, that is what normal people do when they meet someone they like. They take them on a date or text or buy them coffee or something.” Sabé says in exasperation. A smile slowly blooms on Padmé’s face.
“I buy coffee from him already, shouldn’t that be enough?” She says with a laugh while Sabé groans.
“Ok, just- the next time you see him, do something. Start small and get his number at least.” Sabé says.
“Getting his number is not starting small.” Padmé says sceptically, but Sabé waves her off.
“If you can successfully negotiate a grade on an exam up five percent, you can get a random guy’s number,” Sabé says imperially, turning away from Padmé. Grateful for the silence, Padmé goes back to reading. Still, Sabé’s thoughts bounce around in her mind and, though she hates it, a twinge of doubt pricks her heart.
After all, she is a good negotiatior.
—— Anakin is focused. He is precision, he is strength, he is perfection. He can do anything. As he lets his ego run wild, his muscles strain to keep his hand steady while it moves. Time stops as his hand approaches the target, his arm winding back to strike-
Whap. A balled-up napkin hits the wall dully, scaring away the pesky fly that Anakin had been stalking all afternoon, trying to squash. The fly buzzes away haphazardly and Anakin whips around to stare daggers at Ahsoka, who sits on the far counter and doesn’t bother trying to hide her grin.
“You jerk!” Anakin exclaims, his fury uncontained. Ahsoka doesn’t flinch. Sulking at his failed assassination, Anakin points his finger menacingly at Ahsoka.
“I should’ve expected betrayal from you.” Anakin says, eyes narrowed. Ahsoka’s smile grows.
“Of course, you should’ve. Good thing you’re in the arts, fly boy.” Ahsoka replies flippantly, hopping off the counter as the door bell jingles and a group of customers walk in. Still grumbling, Anakin gets to work at the espresso machine as Ahsoka begins taking orders and the cups line up on the counter.
At one point, Anakin, lost in thought and in his work, begins steaming milk for a latte. Padmé’s face pops into his mind as he remembers the last time they met and he smiles. As his mind and hands fly, Anakin hears a voice pipe up.
“Things are busier here than last night,” the voice says. Anakin looks up absently and finds himself meeting a pair of umber eyes- the eyes that have been haunting his mind ever since he first saw them. Padmé watches Anakin, humor in her gaze, while Anakin stills his heart and wills himself not to gape as he finds his voice.
“Well, people typically want coffee in the daytime, not at night, so it makes sense.” Anakin replies, hoping his voice sounds convincing. It seems to work; Padmé shrugs good-naturedly.
“True,” she says. Her voice tips up as she continues. “How has your week been?” This time, Anakin shrugs.
“Busy. Worked here a couple days, at school the rest of the time. You?” He asks, eyes flicking up to meet Padmé’s.
“Same here. Lots of labs to write up and such.” Padmé says plainly. Anakin grimaced.
“Sounds stressful.” He notes. Padmé, as if realizing the shortness of her words, lets out a halting chuckle.
“It can be- it depends on the day.” She says good-naturedly. “What about art? Is it hard to juggle?”
“You’d be surprised. We have this annual art showcase coming up and all the students have been going nuts trying to get their pieces done.” Anakin explains, his eyes turning from Padmé to his deft hands.
“Do you have a piece in it this year?” Padmé asks conversationally. Anakin nods absently, his attention on his work.
“I submitted a mixed media piece I made a couple months ago. I’ve submitted stuff before, so it was just an off-the-cuff thing for me.” Anakin says. Padmé nods, looking impressed. Her voice falters before she speaks again.
“All that artwork…it must be pretty incredible to see it all in one place.” She mumbles. In that moment, Anakin sees a golden opportunity approaching in the conversation, the perfect excuse for getting to talk to Padmé somewhere where he’s making her a latte. But he has to play it off first- he hasn’t reached the right point in the conversation to make his move. Anakin hides his eagerness and puts his professional-person face back on, giving Padmé a nonchalant nod.
“Some years are better than others, but there’s some cool pieces this time around.” He says easily. Padmé looks at Anakin with causal interest.
“I’d love to see it at some point.” Padmé says innocently. Anakin feels a sense of excited anticipation growing in him. That was delightfully easy, more so than he thought it may have been. For a moment, Anakin feels like a con man, but he blows the thought away.
“You should come check it out. The grand unveiling is Thursday night.” Anakin states casually, glancing at Padmé carefully. “I could send you the details.” He adds, as though he’d just thought of it. Padmé levels a critical eye on him- not unkind, perhaps a bit confused.
“You’ll need my number for that.” She says matter-of-factly. Anakin, in turn, just smiles.
“I think I will.” He says slyly. Padmé pauses for a moment, as though thinking. Jostling around in her bag, she pulls out a pen and grabs a napkin, scribbling out something. As she caps her pen, Anakin slides her finished drink towards her. She slides him the napkin in return, on which she scribbled a phone number, her name, and a smiley face. Anakin carefully tucks in his pocket.
“Let me know about the showcase.” Padmé says pleasantly. Anakin grins.
“I’ll text you.” He says slowly. For a moment, Padmé just raises a brow at him. Then she smiles in the thin, all-knowing way that Anakin has engraved in his mind and turns away, headed for the window. Anakin watches her leave for a second before something occurs to him. Maybe it’s the smile, maybe it’s the way she walked right into his plan- he doesn’t know. But in that instant, it dawns on Anakin that he’s just been played. She beat him at his own game. This thought registers in his mind with surprise, disbelief, and an electric current of desire that flashes through him like a match to gasoline.
Oh, she’s good.

Hallo zusammen,
In erster Linie strebe ich eine feste Fickfreundschaft und kein ONS oder "ficken jetzt?" an. Ich suche nur aktive / dominante und besuchbare Kerle, die es verstehen mit einem devoten und etwas schüchternen Stück umzugehen.
Da ich weiß was ich will bzw. eher weiß was ich ich brauche, um ein gutes und belastbares Fickstück zu werden, hier ein paar Infos.
Ich brauche keinen Möchtegernmaster, der hofft, dass ich das mache, was er mir sagt.Ich brauche keinen reinen SM'ler da ich am Schmerz keinen Lustgewinn habe aber es ist mir bewusst, dass er ein sehr gutes Erziehungsmittel ist und den Richtigen für Mehr anheizen kann.Ich brauche keinen Deppen, der meint, dass er dominant ist nur weil er mir seinen Schwanz, am Besten trocken und Brutal, in den Arsch rammt.
Ich suche Jemanden, der wirklich Lust darauf hat sich ein richtig belastbares und höriges Fickstück zu erziehen. Jemanden, dem es Spaß macht zu benutzen, Grenzen zu erweitern, der es liebt leiden zu lassen, Scham auszunutzen, die Eier in der Hose hat auch zu Zwingen und keinen Abbruch zulässt, bis die Zeit rum ist.
Wenn Du mich überzeugst, liefere ich mich Dir aus. Kein Abbruch und kein Zurück!!! Ok, ich werde sicher jammern und irgendwann betteln aber Ignoranz ist ja auch ein gutes Erziehungsmittel.
Also wenn du Bock und wirklich LUST auf ein Date hast dann Melde dich gerne bei mir.
