The Place Where No One Goes

Chapter one

12:41 a.m.

The blue pain in the ass: hey u awake?

Shadow had given up on sleep and was in the kitchen about to eat coffee beans when his phone buzzed. He wasn't surprised to see it was Sonic who had messaged him. He would always message Shadow when nights were tough especially after those 6 months….but it's been 3 years since that event. Things have gotten much better for Sonic. He hasn't messaged Shadow at night for quite a while.

12:43 a.m.

Shadow: Unfortunately

Shadow saw the little dots appear at the bottom of the screen then fade away. Sonic sure was taking forever in coming up with a response. He put the phone down and started thinking about the last time he saw the blue hedgehog. He thought back to a month ago when Sonic had “accidentally” ran into him while Shadow was taking a walk around the forest. Only Shadow ever walked that path in the woods so it couldn't just have been an “accident” of running into him. But he didn't mind. It was nice to have the blue hedgehogs company.

That day he noticed something different about Sonic, his posture was different, it didn't seem confident and the bags under his eyes, it was clear that he didn't sleep that night. Shadow asked him how he was doing. Sonic answered the question with a one word answer, ‘fine’ then started talking about his day and the dumb attack Eggman tried using against them. Only when he started talking about Amy and the rest did Shadow tune him out. As much as he respected the rest he couldn't care less about them. He went on and on until they reached the end of the path. In front of them were a bunch of signs saying ‘keep out’ or ‘beware’ or ‘danger’ Though Shadow didn't need signs to tell him that.

The chaos energy in him shifts when he's around this place. It feels like a heavy weight is poured onto his shoulders. It also gives him a very uneasy feeling.

“Ugh this place gives me bad vibes�� Sonic said, putting his hands on opposite arms as if he was cold.

“Yeah”

In front of them was the entrance to The Place Where No One Goes. No one knew what was in there and no one wanted to find out. If you go in there you have a 99% chance of never coming out. There has only ever been one person that has made it out alive but from what the news said that person was never the same and disappeared off the face of the earth not long after. No one has seen them since. That thought alone sent shivers down Shadow's spine and he turned to leave, Sonic following him close behind. Walking back through the air felt different. Sonic was walking beside him but he was quiet, something Shadow was not used to from said person.

“Something on your mind hedgehog?”

“Huh? I mean no. Why?”

“You're quiet.”

“Can't a guy walk in silence?”

“Any guy can walk in silence….except you. What's on your mind?”

“Wait, am I hearing this right? Does the Ultimate Lifeform care about me?”

Shadow could feel like a muzzle and ears heat up.

“What? No- All I asked was what was on your mind.”

“You do care about me!”

“Forget I even asked.”

“Aww Shads. There is nothing to be ashamed about-”

“I'm leaving.”

And with that Shadow Chaos Controlled out of there and appeared behind a tree not too far from where he was standing. He silently cursed himself for using his chaos energy that was close to that stupid place. He knew that being around The Place Where No One Goes made his Chaos energy wonky. But for some reason, being around Sonic made him do stupid things. He was about to reveal where he was when he saw Sonic looking behind him, down the path, to The Place Where No One Goes. He mumbled something before running away and disappearing from the path. Shadow emerged from his hiding spot. He remembered thinking to himself how weird their encounter was and what Sonic mumbled. What did he mumble? He also remembers asking himself why he even cares in the first place. This is Sonic he was thinking about. He wouldn't do anything stupid not after what happened last time when he went missing for 6 months. With that he skated away not thinking much about what just happened.

The buzzing from his phone shook him from the memory and back to reality. Sonic had finally messaged him back. He entered the passcode and looked at the unread message.

12:50 a.m.

The blue pain in the ass: wanna race?

‘It took him 7 minutes to respond…?’

12:51 a.m.

Shadow: Sure. Where do you wanna meet?

12:52 a.m

The blue pain in the ass: thinking close to yours? we can meet by that restaurant you like

Shadow blushed a little. Why was he blushing?

12:53 a.m

The blue pain in the ass: unless you wanna meet somewhere else?

12:53 a.m

Shadow: No, that place is fine.

12:54 a.m

The blue pain in the ass: great! see you in a few

Shadow turned off his phone. His stomach was doing something weird. It felt like…butterflies. He must be catching a bug or something. Before he left, he went to his room and removed a picture of team dark that was hanging on the wall. Behind the picture was a mini safe with a passcode. He entered the passcode and the door opened revealing the chaos emerald. He put the emerald into his quills, closed the mini safe door and placed the picture back. He walked past the kitchen and was about to exit the house when he heard loud snoring.

‘Right I should probably leave a note for Rouge’ he thought. He got a sticky note and pen, wrote ‘Racing with Sonic’ and left it on the kitchen counter. Then he left his house, skating towards the meeting spot.

….

He arrived at the meeting spot and was looking for Sonic. He was circling the restaurant but he couldn't find him. ‘Where was he?’ Shadow thought. And like clockwork, the phone buzzed. It was a message from Sonic.

1:05 a.m

The blue pain in the ass: running late! be there soon

Of course he was late to his own meeting. That is such a Sonic thing to do. As Shadow waited for him he thought of the other time he saw Sonic last. It was during one of Eggman's attacks in the city. Eggman had just created and released a new batch of badniks to the city. He remembered seeing them on the news and not even five seconds later Rouge was calling him for backup. He went over there and destroyed some of the badniks. At one point in the fight Sonic was smashed into a building breaking the wall. Shadow remembered Tails yelling his brother's name. He could tell that Tails' voice was laced with fear. He immediately used his chaos spear to rid the robot that was keeping from Tails from checking on Sonic.

“Go!” Shadow yelled and Tails ran to the smashed building. Shadow would've followed him but he had his own problems to deal with. Not even 30 seconds later, whatever smashed Sonic into the wall and into the building was kicked out of the building and destroyed. Eggman saw this as defeat and he yelled ‘'retreat!’. And just like the fight was over. Shadow looked back to the smashed wall and saw Sonic and Tails walking out of there. He remembered a weird weight being lifted off his shoulders when he saw Sonic walking out of there.

But why?

Then Rouge got in front of him and started thanking him for his help. Then she started complaining about how much paperwork they would have to fill out. Shadow was just nodding and agreeing but he quickly became distracted when he saw what was happening behind her. Sonic and Tails were arguing. They were waving their hands in the air angrily. Then Tails said something that made Sonic face freeze. Then Sonic walked away from Tails, almost looking like he was about to cry. He made eye contact with Shadow and gave him one of the fakest smiles he's ever seen and left.

“Weird,” Shadow accidently said out loud.

“What?” asked Rouge who was now looking behind her to see what Shadow was looking at.

“Nothing. I'll see you later” he said before skating off in the direction Sonic headed. He skated for a minute until he saw no sign of Sonic anywhere. He grabbed his phone and was about to call him but then he stopped himself. Why was he doing this? Why did he even care? Whatever argument Sonic had with Tails would blow over. He would get over it, snap out of it. Besides, he knew Sonic couldn't stay mad at his brother forever.

Still though he remembered the face Sonic had before he left. He looked phone in his hand, his thumb hovering over the call button for the contact: The blue pain in the ass

‘No’ he thought. ‘He'll snap out of it’

And with that he turned off his phone and skated back to his home.

That was 2 weeks ago and Shadow hasn't seen or heard from him since. At least not until now.

…..

10 minutes of him waiting. 10 fucking minutes.

“Unbelievable” he mumbled half, no, very annoyed.

He turned and was about to leave when he felt a gust of wind on his back. He turned once more to face Sonic.

“You know for the fastest thing alive you would think he would get here on time not be 10 minutes late” Shadow said crossing his arms.

“Yeah yeah I know I got held up” Sonic replied and he looked behind his own shoulder as if something was following him.

“Is everything okay faker-” Shadow asked and was about to look at whatever Sonic was looking at but was interrupted by a ‘Wait!’ and Sonic pushed him to the ground. Shadow was officially pissed and was about to tell Sonic off about personal space when he realized the position they were in. Shadow was lying on the ground and Sonic was on top of him, their faces very close to each other. All he saw was Sonic staring at him. It was silent for a few seconds before Sonic broke it.

“Heheh nice view”

“Get off me or I punch you”

“Uh right heheh sorry Shadow”

Sonic got off of him. Thanks Chaos it was dark or else Sonic would've seen how much Shadow was blushing. Sonic stood up and offered a hand to Shadow. He took it and as he was standing up he saw Sonic had a bag packed.

“What's the bag for?”

“Oh uh!” Sonic looked behind his shoulder again.

“What are you-?”

“It's just some waters in case we get thirsty anyways lets go!” Sonic said very quickly before speeding off in the opposite direction he kept looking at.

“Wait!” Shadow yelled and skated off to catch up with Sonic.

Shadow doesn’t know but this time for some reason, it was harder to catch up with Sonic. It was almost like he was in a hurry to get somewhere. After a few minutes he finally did catch up with Sonic.

“Faker”

“What? Is something wrong?”

“You never told me where the finish line is”

“Uh…just uh follow me and you'll know when the finish line is coming up!”

Shadow wanted to ask more questions but Sonic sped off. Boy was he fast when he wanted to be. Shadow thought about this for a moment. Perhaps he just wants to run off some steam or whatever was keeping him from sleeping. Shadow's known Sonic long enough to know that he was more of a “It's not about the destination it's about the adventure” type of guy.

It's one of the things he liked most about him.

So he stuck by him, avoiding any obstacles like rocks that were in his way. At first where they were running seemed unfamiliar to Shadow. He didn't recognize any of his surroundings but Sonic seemed all too familiar with it. His gut told him to trust Sonic, that he knew where he was going. So he did.

“See that tree over there surrounded by bushes? That's the finish line!” Sonic yelled.

‘Finally’ Shadow thought and used all of speed to pass Sonic. After 2 minutes they both passed the tree. Shadow stopped himself easily. Sonic did stop himself running but only after tripping his shoe laces. Before Sonic could even touch the ground though Shadow grabbed his waist and caught him. Both stared at each other once again but this time Shadow broke the silence.

“Ahem. Whenever you feel like uh”

“Oh right sorry” Sonic said before standing up straight. Shadow let go of Sonic’s waist and looked at his surroundings. All he could manage to see was the branches hanging from the trees.

“Cmon this way!” Sonic said and started walking off.

“Where are we?” Shadow asked, still looking around. “And what-”

Then he felt it. The shift in his Chaos energy. The heavy weight on his shoulders was there but this time it felt more…heavier.

“Shadow?”

The weight. It was becoming too much. He had to lean on a tree.

“Shadow? What's wrong?”

Shadow looked at him now, pissed.

“You know exactly what's wrong, hedgehog. Why did you bring us here? You of all people should know why we shouldn't be out here in the first place”

Sonic opened his mouth to answer but then closed it.

“Spit it out faker”

“Listen, I'm sorry, okay? I didn't think you would be able to…feel it right now I just-”

Sonic was fidgeting with the bag he had on. The bag. Shadow's eyes widened

“Sonic what are we doing here?”

Sonic avoided his gaze.

“I…There's something wrong. I know it. I can feel it. I been having weird dreams and- all I know is that the danger…its in there”

“What type of danger?”

Sonic hesitated before answering.

“Infinite” he whispered.

Shadow felt his heart stop. Infinite? How was that even possible? They killed him.

“Sonic-”

“I know what you're gonna say Shadow but I can feel it. His presence. It's the same as when I was...listen all I know is that it's coming from there and I need to stop it alone”

“Then…why am I here?”

Sonic was fidgeting more and more with his gloves. Shadow pushes himself off the tree and walks closer towards the blue hedgehog.

“Sonic answer the question”

“This is The Place No One Goes Shadow. Once you go in….”

“No Sonic this is crazy I-”

“I brought you here to in case I really don't make it out, at least you'll be the one to know..how I…uh…”

“Sonic no. I won't allow you. You have a brother for chaos sake you have a family” Shadow grabbed his hands. “I promise you we'll find another way just-”

Shadow then felt a pain in his stomach. He fell down but not hard. Sonic was guiding him to the floor. Sonic had just punched his stomach.

“I'm sorry Shadow but I wasn't asking for permission. I have to do this. I can't let him come back”

Shadow saw Sonic running away and in front of the entrance. He saw Sonic take one last glance at him before entering The Place Where No One Goes.

“Sonic! Please-”

He stood up despite the pain in his stomach and ran towards the entrance. Sonic was no longer there.

“SONIC!” he yelled. No response.

He knew he had to go after him. There was no saying otherwise but this place terrifies him. It doesn't matter though. He needs to put his fears behind him today or else Green Hill will no longer have a hero. He grabbed his phone and sent Rouge a message: SOS.

Then he put the phone down pointing at the entrance.

Then he entered The Place Where No One Goes.

…..

What Shadow didn't know was that 7 minutes later after he entered his phone buzzed.

1:36 a.m.

Miles: Shadow I can't find Sonic and i'm afraid that he’s going to do something stupid. Please tell me he's with you…..

Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad Activity Report

Part 6

9/29 (Tue) - Reporter: Junpei Iori

Good evening, it's Junpei!

That's cruel, Yukari-chan. I'm savoring the joy of this wonderful encounter, the first in 16 years and 9 months since I was born into this world, and one that I don't know if I'll ever have again in my lifetime. Please let me off the hook. For some reason, I'm starting to feel sad when I say this myself.

Anyway, I'll admit I was a little carried away, but that doesn't mean I can't be relied on in a fight.

I think I'm the strongest right now! No, I'm serious. Before I met Chidori, I had nothing... There was no purpose for fighting or anything like that. If you just wanted to act like a hero just because you had a Persona and show off how cool you were at fighting, then you'd never be a real fighting force, right? No, rather than the purpose of fighting, there is a greater purpose of living... I've only just started thinking about these things now, and it's all thanks to Chidori. So...

Ugh! What am I talking about? What the hell am I talking about? Is this a chat room? Stop it, stop it, good night!

9/30 (Wed) - Reporter: Fuuka Yamagishi

Good evening, this is Yamagishi.

The Chairman was here today. He was full of praise for Aragaki-senpai. He was always saying how reassuring he felt. Thanks to him, there were few puns, which was very reassuring. …Ah, well, was that a slip of the tongue?

So, leaving that aside, Junpei-kun, I'm really impressed.. I never knew you'd been thinking about something like that... Chidori must be special to you, Junpei. I should be grateful for the good fortune of having met someone like you.

In my case, I wonder if everyone in the activity club and Natsuki-chan are like that? I have to treasure this encounter. I look forward to working with you in the future.

10/1 (Thu) - Reporter: Yukari Takeba

Ah, it's a Takeba. Hmm. Oh. Really? I see, it's Junpei, right? That's right, I see.

Yes, well, it's samurai mercy. I guess I'll spare you any unnecessary comments.

Anyway, I've been wearing winter clothes since today. I was worried that Aigis's clothes might be floating, but I wonder if they'll be okay now? I know that everyone will be wearing the same clothes, but Aigis is still cute. Either way, she might stand out...

Well, I guess she can cover it up by being a slightly air-headed returnee for now. ...Why doesn't anyone notice? This was Takeba.

10/2 (Fri) - Reporter: Mitsuru Kirijo

It's Kirijo. There are only two days left until the next full moon... There are only three Shadows left. I don't know how they will appear, but either way, the end is near. Well, I'm worried about the remnants of Strega, so I can't let my guard down, but let's move forward with hope. Let's stay calm.

10/3 (Sat) - Reporter: Shinjiro Aragaki

Tomorrow is...October 4th.

Kirijo told me to stay calm, but SEES members are so obedient. Seriously, how can you be so sound asleep at a time like this...?

Well, that's better than being scared and useless. Tomorrow, I'll show you how to fight.

That's right...I don't mean to act like I'm the boss or anything, but over the past month or so I've tried to teach you the basics of how to fight in my own way.

Well, it's a bit late to tell you... I just did it my way... and it's up to you to see what you do with it.

Well, even ifs rotten, it's a technique that has allowed me to survive without any serious injuries in the hangout area of Port Island.

It should help a little. ... Seriously, what am I babbling about? Ah... It's Amada, but he's just a kid and keeps pushing himself too hard. We're all older than you, so please pay him more attention. Please. Now... I'll go to sleep.

10/4 (Sun) - Reporter: Mitsuru Kirijo

The worst-case scenario has occurred. I am not in the mood to say anything, but as the manager, there is no one else for me to report this...

...Aragaki...

Aragaki... is dead.

I'll explain the details. There were two large Shadows this time. Arcanas of Fortune and Strength. We were fighting without Aragaki and Amada, but we defeated them both.

The two missing people were found on the outskirts of Port Island Station. Amada... Apparently, he learned from somewhere that the cause of his mother's death was due to Aragaki's Persona rampage, and summoned him for revenge.

There, Aragaki received a hip shot from Takaya of Strega, and died shielding Amada.

...That's it.

...Damn it...

10/5 (Mon) - Reporter: Aigis

I believe I am the only one who is calm at present, and would like to report this. Aragaki-san's funeral was held today. After that, Amada-san disappeared. ...I am a machine, so I can state the facts calmly. However, because of this, I cannot empathize with everyone else. ...I am a little dissatisfied.

10/6 (Tue) - Reporter: Junpei Iori

Hey, it's Junpei.

A lot of things happened... really a lot of things happened, but Amada and I are back.

I heard the voice message that Aragaki-san left the day before. Amada has come back after a hard time, so we can't be disheartened.

This is an activity report, but we took a day off from conquering Tartarus today, and if we were to do anything else, we would have been waiting for Amada.

…Ah, that's right. Aigis was saying something that was bothering me.

Somehow, the Personas of Amada and Sanada-san seem to have awakened... Maybe it's a power up? Oooh? The warrior has changed jobs to become a knight? The section manager has been promoted to department manager? Wow, this looks like it's getting even more difficult to lose.

Well, seriously, I'll just have to make sure Aragaki-san doesn't laugh at me for getting so close. From now on, just keep an eye on Neo Junpei-sama.

10/7 (Wed) - Reporter: Yukari Takeba

Uh, this is Takeba.

Yesterday, he was saying something cool here. Neo Junpei-sama is already feeling down because he's not making much progress with his studies for the midterm exams in a week.

Well, I understand how you feel. I feel the same way. After all, when people say that Aramichi-senpai is the hole he fell through, I get really depressed. What's worse, when I try to ignore it and keep quiet, they explain, "Oh, that was a pun on the words 'high morale' and 'high threshold'..." Oh, excuse me! I mean, I think it's amazing in a sense that even Koro-chan's movements as she eats come to a sudden stop. A pun that freezes even animals who don't understand the language...it's the best.

10/27 (Tue) - Reporter: Mitsuru Kirijo

Well, I'm honestly glad that you care about me. Please come and see me again, but please refrain from making puns. This was Takeba.

10/9 (Fri) - Reporter: Akihiko Sanada

I'm really grateful that you guys are sincerely grieving over Shinji and haven't forgotten. But you have to understand that not forgetting and not letting it get to you are two different things. Otherwise, Shinji won't be able to rest in peace.

Also, Takeba. I'm glad you're worried about me, but even if it looks painful, I'm fine. I'm not forcing myself. I want to use this painful feeling as a springboard for the next time.

Anyway...after this weekend, you have your midterm exams, right? Are you guys okay in this state?

I'm telling you, try taking a make-up exam. I'll take Shinji's place and give you a good scolding, so be prepared.

10/10 (Sat) - Reporter: Mitsuru Kirijo

This is Kirijo.

Akihiko was harsh, but it seems like everyone is getting back on their feet, no matter what. I think that's great.

As far as I can see, you are growing stronger than many high school students your age. Not only will that help you in defeating shadows, but it will also be a great source of nourishment for your future lives.

Aragaki... left us with a lot of things.

Well, I don't have a report to make... but I noticed something a little odd, so I'll record it. Up until now, the pattern has been that the number of Lost People would decrease after defeating a large Shadow, but this doesn't seem to be the case this time. If anything, the number of patients has been steadily increasing compared to before the operation.

Is this simply the result of the enemy putting all their efforts into making sure there is only one large Shadow left, or is something completely new happening...? I may need to investigate a little. I will report back as soon as I find out.

10/11 (Sun) - Reporter: Ken Amada

...It's been a while since I've done an activity report. I thought I'd never do it again...

I wanted to show Aragaki-san that I'd recovered properly, and for a more direct reason, everyone was too busy with their exams coming up...

I'd heard that high school students' regular exams were tough, but...it's amazing.

I mean, Junpei-san, who normally doesn't even sit at his desk, let alone study, took his textbook all the way to the second floor rest area and was holding his head in his hands? It's kind of moving...

Speaking of studying for exams, I wonder what's going on in Aigis-san's head.

When I asked her, she said, "When it comes to general subjects, I'm average," but...on the contrary, it's amazing. An average artificial intelligence.

Anyway, even an outsider like me is looking forward to the exam results. Aigis said that it would all crumble if you tried, but do your best.

10/15 (Thu) Reporter: Yukari Takeba

Well, this is Takeba. I remember in the first semester I complained about general physics knowledge for a girl... but please don't take issue with the cool things I said in class, huh.

Well, I'm glad I was able to solve it. I hope there will be a good question tomorrow. This was Takeba.

10/16 (Fri) - Reporter: Junpei Iori

Arghhhh, that's too Junpei!

You idiot Ono Mune! Your head is just a helmet stand! How is it a frivolous question about how old Masamune was when he first went to battle? The world doesn't exist only in the Warring States period!

Are there no decent teachers at my school?

10/17 (Sat) - Reporter: Fuuka Yamagishi

Good evening, this is Yamagishi.

The midterm exams are finally over. I wonder how everyone did? I'm not quite sure how I did... I think I'll end up with a lower score than I expected.

Anyway, the exams are over, so I can finally concentrate on fighting shadows...

The next one is supposed to be the last Shadow, but you never know what's going to happen. And even if it's the last one, if you try too hard, you might destroy yourself.

Let's relax and do our best to fight for Aragaki-san.

10/18 (Sun) - Reporter: Mitsuru Kirijo

This is Kirijo.

The midterm exams are finally over.

Everyone, you did well this time, overcoming difficult... events and physically and mentally disadvantageous conditions, in addition to the fact that the exams were held right after the operation.

The results will be announced tomorrow, but just this once, I will refrain from going into detail about your grades. There is no way to judge how much you all suffered and tried to overcome with just a piece of exam paper.

Did you get a good rest today? Junpei seems to have gone to the hospital again, but how about the others? For now, Akihiko, be careful not to overtrain. Got it?

10/19 (Mon) - Reporter: Akihiko Sanada

The exam results are posted. Mitsuru is still at the top... Well, my grades aren't bad either, but I wonder what kind of mind she has?

Also, I checked the grades of the second year students just to be safe. Yamagishi said he didn't feel very good about it, but she's doing pretty well.

It seems like the daily accumulation has paid off. Just like boxing training, persistence pays off.

Aigis... I'm not sure. Well, you did well on your first exam... Hmm... Middle of the pack... Hmm.

But... The problem is you, Junpei. I didn't expect such high scores... but it's too much. If you study and still get low scores, I won't complain, but in your case, it's just a lack of study. You want to show off to that girl Chidori, right? What's the point of being relieved just because you avoided failing?

Well... I could help you with your studies. My own training takes priority, too, so I'm sorry I can only watch over you for about four or five hours a day.

Well, if you get up early and spend an hour before going to school, two or three hours after coming home from school before going to Tartarus, and an hour after you come back from Tartarus, that's perfect.

Okay, Junpei. Let's get started tomorrow!

10/20 (Tue) - Reporter: Aigis

Fuuka-san, I figured it out. …It's difficult. I'm not good at "understanding the context" or "reading the mood".

After that, I learned that Fuuka-san's best friend, Natsuki-san, has transferred schools.

Fuuka-san says it's okay because "we're connected even if we're apart", but... Junpei-san and Chidori-san don't seem to feel at ease when they're apart. What's the difference?

Connections and bonds between people... I feel like I still have a lot to learn. Every day is a learning experience. It's a lesson for the sixty-year-old.

10/21 (Wed) - Reporter: Yukari Takeba

Well, it's Takeba.

The next one is the last Shadow, so everyone is really excited, or rather, really fired up.

I thought Fuuka might be depressed when Moriyama-san transferred to another school, but she seems to have gotten over it and is okay. Apparently she was talking to Amada today about what to do when the Dark Hour runs out. It's a bit premature... I mean, I was talking about something like that the other day too. But... I see. It's the last one.

It doesn't really feel real, it feels weird. It's been about half a year since I got my Persona and started fighting shadows. But it's been 10 years since Tartarus and the Dark Hour were born from Kirijo's experiment, and nothing has progressed, right? Suddenly, things are moving along so smoothly... Maybe it's just because I don't have a reason to fight... I don't feel like it's ending. Well, whether you cry or laugh, the next one is the last one. Let's get pumped up! This was Takeba!

10/22 (Thu) - Reporter: Junpei Iori

Hey, Junpei here. Well, Yukari said it too, but everyone's really pumped up lately. What? It's unbearably hot in the dorm. But when I told Yukari about it, she said, "Oh, you're hot, aren't you?" Hot? Is that an obsolete expression?

Ikutsuki-san came by today for the first time in a while, but no puns!? He talked to me normally and seriously, and gave me the normal encouragement before he left, so in a way, it's even more of a miracle than the disappearance of the Dark Hour.

I mean, getting rid of Dark Hour isn't really a miracle after all. The enemy seems to be desperately trying to increase the number of Lost people, but it's only a matter of time before shadows, the Dark Hour, and Tartarus all boom!...Come to think of it, we haven't conquered all the floors of Tartarus yet, have we? Is that really safe? Well, even if we go all the way to the top, the treasure chests are only a little more luxurious... so maybe we should just go after all?

10/23 (Fri) - Reporter: Fuuka Yamagishi

Good evening, this is Yamagishi.

It seems like everyone is really motivated for the final Shadow.

Junpei-kun also said that Sanada-senpai has been giving off even more of an aura of McChristie recently.

The ending doesn't make sense though...

But Yukari tells me that not only Sanada-senpai, but everyone's life's radiance is changing. That's what really gives off an aura.

I'm sure the final battle with the Shadow will go well. It'll be fine.

10/24 (Sat) - Reporter: Aigis

Today, Yukari asked me why I fight. The answer is clear.

I was created by humans to fight shadows. Therefore, the reason I fight is because I was born that way.

However... when I answered that and Yukari said, "I see," I felt a little complicated. Defeating shadows is my mission. There is no doubt about that.

In that case, the meaning of my existence when I'm not fighting is lighter than that of my existence when I am. That's only natural.

And yet, the priority of the time I spend at school, when I'm not fighting, which should be just idling time, is being updated to a higher priority in my mind. This is a very mysterious phenomenon.

In any case, this thought is unproductive, so I should seal it away so that it doesn't get in the way of the Shadow fight. My current top priority is the last Shadow. That is for sure.

10/25 (Sun) - Reporter: Akihiko Sanada

Recently, I've been strangely engrossed in my training, and I haven't really noticed what's going on around me. I'm not the only one who's fired up. As Junpei said, everyone is fired up for the fight.

Junpei, I'm sorry for the nasty lecture I gave you the other day about your exam scores. Your attitude was as carefree as ever, and I was so focused on myself that I misjudged you. It seems that you've grown before I knew it. Is this also thanks to this Chidori?

Anyway, with the last Shadow in front of us, there are almost no factors that will cause us to lose. There are less than 10 days until the full moon, so let's keep working hard.

Oh, by the way. Today, I had Aigis make a running regime for me, and it turned out pretty well. She gave me the perfect amount of stress for my current ability, and she chose a course that was easy to run and wouldn't get boring. Her analytical skills are incredible. If you're planning on training, you should ask her.

10/26 (Mon) - Reporter: Junpei Iori

Hi, Junpei here.

Well, when Sanada-san apologizes to me, it kind of throws me off, or rather, ah... sorry.

Well, I'm a carefree person at heart. Admittedly, I've been thinking a little seriously lately, but basically, I just want to live a happy and cheerful life! Defeat shadows and protect my home! That's how it is.

Well, I understand what you're saying. We all have different ways of doing things, but we all have the same heart! Defeat the Shadow! Right?

Oh, but please spare me Aigis' training regime. I seriously nearly died before. It's too difficult for a weak-willed guy like me...

It's Kirijo.

Akihiko. Iori. I've always thought this, but you two make a pretty good pair, don't you think? Yesterday and the day before yesterday, it felt like the friendship between two men before a battle.

...It reminded me a little of Akihiko and Aragaki in their first year of high school. Aragaki back then was a bit overconfident and cocky, but he was full of ideals and wanted to protect others. He also had a pretty cheerful personality. He was the type who told a lot of jokes.

That's right...If you add Iori and Amada now and divide them by two, they might be close to Aragaki back then.

And Akihiko...he hasn't changed at all. He's the same.

...I guess it's not like an old story? Maybe I'm thinking about the end, but I've been remembering the old days lately.

10/29 (Thu) - Reporter: Aigis

Everyone... let's live in the present so that SEES can someday become a fond memory. Let's make shadows a thing of the past!

10/28 (Wed) - Reporter: Yukari Takeba

Well, it's Takeba.

I guess Ikutsuki-san has been coming here a lot lately, maybe because the next Shadow is the last one. I wonder if he wants to see everyone's enthusiasm rising?

Well, that's fine, that's fine.

The problem is the same as always, when someone says, "Everyone's morale is so high, I feel like I can't get close to you," it actually brings down my morale. What's worse, when I try to ignore it and keep quiet, he explains, "Oh, that was a pun between 'high morale' and 'high threshold'...! ...sorry".

I mean, the pun that made even Koro-chan stop moving while he was eating is amazing in a way. A pun that freezes animals that don't understand the language...it's the best.

Well, I'm honestly happy that you care about us. Please come and see us again, but please keep the puns to a minimum. It was Takeba.

It is wrong to take away Yukari and Ikutsuki's puns. It is unacceptable in terms of human dignity. In fact, I once advised Ikutsuki-san to refrain from making puns because it seemed to be bothering people around him. At that time, Mr. Ikutsuki taught me, a machine, about the important things that make us human beings, our individuality, and said that depriving us of our individuality is the same as depriving us of our lives. In other words, if we take away Ikutsuki's puns, he will die. Yukari will become a murderer. Please be careful.

10/30 (Fri) - Reporter: Ken Amada

Aigis-san...are you really being deceived? You're so naive.

Ah, but it seems like it might actually happen that Ikutsuki-san would die if he didn't make a pun. But Ikutsuki-san has been talking to us a lot recently and is really concerned about us, so let's just be patient.

Neon, argon, krypton, xenon, radon, and the mnemonic for that is "A strange girl goes crazy one night and starts kissing randomly." And the seventh element in that case is "A plump bra, it suits me." I don't remember the element though.

11/1 (Sun) - Reporter: Fuuka Yamagishi

Wow, studying is quite profound.

10/31 (Sat) - Reporter: Junpei Iori

Hi, Junpei here.

Hey, Amada-kun. Maybe you said it on purpose, but "I'll put up with it" isn't a good follow-up, is it? Uuu, Ikutsuki-san, it's a shame that you're being ignored despite your efforts.

Oh, speaking of puns, it reminds me of the mnemonics used to remember the chemical element symbols, right? That "Horizontal Liebe, my ship" thing. That's the way to remember them in order of element number, but do you know any mnemonics to remember them in the order they are arranged vertically on the periodic table?

Um, for example, the group on the far right. The ones called noble gases? From top to bottom, they're helium, neon, argon, krypton, xenon, and radon, and apparently the mnemonic for that is "One night, a strange girl goes crazy and gives out a lot of kisses." And the next seven elements are "A fuller bra suits me." I don't remember that one though.

Wow, studying is so deep.

Good evening, this is Yamagishi.

…Junpei-kun, I've been starting to see you in a new light lately, but I guess it can't be helped. Hmm, are all boys like this? Is Sanada-senpai like that too?

Well, it turned into a sexy story, but it seems like Ken was just talking about school.

I remember the order of the noble gases, so I guess you could say that things have gotten better since the old days. Maybe, right? Hmm, that's a pretty euphemism, even to me. To be honest, I was going to tell you all to relax today since it's just before the final battle, but I don't think it's necessary at this rate.

It's good to be in high spirits, but if you get too excited and on edge, your nerves will be exhausted and you won't be able to last until the day of the event. I'm not saying you need to be as tense as Junpei, but everyone should try to maintain a moderate level of tension and keep a cool head. I'll support you with all my might.

11/2 (Mon) - Reporter: Mitsuru Kirijo

It's Kirijo.

I think you've already said almost everything I wanted to say to you before the final battle. It was in March of this year that we welcomed Takeba, the first new member in a long time, into SEES. During that time, your awareness as warriors seems to have grown beyond anything I could have imagined.

Tomorrow is finally a full moon.

There are no more words to say.

I pray that tomorrow, after the final Dark Hour is over, everyone will be able to enjoy it safely.

I'll turn shadows into rust with my sword!

11/3 (Tue) - Reporter: Fuuka Yamagishi

Good evening, this is Yamagishi.

We've defeated the last Shadow! To be honest, I thought that such an important report should be made by Kirijo-senpai, but she entrusted the operational report to me, saying that my role was to back them up. I wonder if I was of any use to everyone? I hope so. Wasn't that an unnecessary backup? It was a short time, but I'm really glad we were able to fight together.

...There's one thing that's bothering me. A guy named Jin from Strega said that once the Dark Hour is over, even Persona Users will lose their memories. Is that... for real? Will we lose our memories like normal people?

…Even though it's over, there are still many things I don't understand, and I'm a little worried. But for now, I won't imagine anything bad, and I'll go to sleep savoring our victory. Goodnight.

11/4 (Wed) - Reporter: Akihiko Sanada

November 4th...it's already early in the morning of the 5th...but I will never forget this day.

Today, a celebration was held at the dormitory to celebrate the completion of the Shadows defeat. During the celebration, something surprising... no, it was expected in a way, but the Dark Hour began. The information that the Dark Hour would end if the 12 large Shadows were defeated was incorrect...

...No, that's not it! It was deliberately distorted information! The one who fabricated the information was Ikutsuki-san... Shuji Ikutsuki. What we had done up until now had not erased the Dark Hour, but instead had fused the 12 large Shadows together to create a new Shadow Arcana, Death.

...In the end, Ikutsuki was shot by Takeharu Kirijo and fell to his death from the observatory, where they were probably going to perform the Death Summoning Ritual. However, they both died in the process... Kirijo also died... All other members of SEES were safe. Death's appearance has not been confirmed.

11/8 (Sun) - Reporter: Ken Amada

That's all for now. I'll report back tomorrow.

11/5 (Thu) - Reporter: Akihiko Sanada

It's Sanada.

Continuing from yesterday, I'll report on the situation. In addition, I'd like to add a few details about last night's events.

First of all, the Dark Hour and Tartarus still haven't disappeared. All of Ikutsuki's information was distorted in his favor. Therefore, at this point, we don't know how to erase the Dark Hour. We're back to square one...

The details of the ritual Ikutsuki tried to perform last night are still unclear. The Kirijo Audit Office took the luggage from the principal's room in the dormitory, so if there is any record, we'll probably hear a report later. However, Kirijo is also in turmoil due to Takeharu's death. I don't think we can expect much. If Ikutsuki was trying to sacrifice us, then that means we've thwarted his intention... but I can't feel any relief.

Speaking of Takeharu's death, Mitsuru has left the dorm and gone to the head family of Kirijo. There's a mountain of things to do, like the succession issue and the funeral, so she won't be back anytime soon. As a senior, I'm planning on acting as SEES' president for the time being.

Well, fortunately... that might be the wrong way to put it, but there's still a mountain of things we can do. The Dark Hour, Tartarus, and the shadows haven't disappeared. That means it's time for us, the Specialized Extracurricular Execution Squad, to take action. We'll sharpen our fangs and wait for the situation to change.

11/6 (Fri) - Reporter: Yukari Takeba

Well, it's Takeba.

It seems like I was ecstatic a few days ago that this was going to be the end, but that was a lie. Well, that incident with Ikutsuki was a lie, actually.

…Dammit! I can't believe it! That pun-making guy! Just remembering it makes me angry! It makes me boil!

Ugh, I need to calm down for now.

And it seems like Kirijo-senpai hasn't come back yet. Sanada-senpai is worried, but I'm a little, no, quite worried. It seems like she loved her father a lot, so I think I can understand how much she's hurting right now.

I think Kirijo-senpai probably doesn't have time to grieve. It was the same for me. Irresponsible, talkative adults are just swarming around and stirring things up. It feels like there are really people who are sad. I wonder what kind of person her mother is? I hope she's someone who will support Kirijo-senpai... We have to do our best so that she can at least concentrate on household chores.

By the way, Junpei seems to be feeling down. It seems something happened with Chidori-san. And then... Oh, that's right. Aigis has come back. The control device that was attached to Ikutsuki has been removed, and she seems to be fine now. Let's try to get things back to the way they were before, little by little. This was Takeba.

11/7 (Sat) - Reporter: Fuuka Yamagishi

Good evening, this is Yamagishi.

Everyone has been beaten to a pulp, but now they are slowly starting to get back on their feet. I'm sure if we wait a little longer they will be able to fight again. As Sanada-senpai said, there is a mountain of work to do. Please keep an eye on your juniors for a little while.

Yukari-chan, it seems the video data I salvaged from the HD was useful, right? I'm glad you found out your father was innocent. If you can just cheer up a little, I feel like I and the others can do our best.

Aigis, don't worry too much about what happened when you were being controlled, okay? Our leader is kind, so he has already forgiven you. No, he never thought you were in the wrong from the beginning.

Amada-kun, Koro-chan. Are you two okay? Rather than being disappointed, you look like you can't help but get angry at the useless people around you. Let's keep it up and get our revenge.

Junpei, you seem to be down. Are you okay? If you need to talk to me about something, let me know. I'm not good with romance, but I'll do my best.

Leader...you're still as laid-back as ever, which is reassuring. It looks like there's still a long way to go in the exploration of Tartarus, so I'm looking forward to seeing some sharp leadership from you.

Well then...good night.

It feels like it's been a long time since I've reported on activities. At one point I was at a loss, but seeing everyone working hard makes me feel like I still have a lot to learn. You're all real seniors!

But why are adults like that? Ikutsuki-san and the Kirijo family. I can tolerate it if it's just a coincidence that there are bad people around us. But if you think about it, if you just live a normal life, anyone can become that bad... it makes me hate becoming an adult.

Ikutsuki-san... Thinking about it now, before he revealed his true identity, he just pushed the battle onto us and only came to check on us occasionally, so he might have been classified as a bad adult. But to be honest, I didn't dislike Ikutsuki-san because he was one of the few people who didn't treat me like a child. Maybe he was just trying not to upset me because I was a useful pawn to help him achieve his goal... But no one knows for sure now, so there's no point in saying it. However, I'm grateful that he taught me that there are many different sides to people. Is this a bad example? Let's change our attitude.

11/9 (Mon) - Reporter: Junpei Iori

Hey there, it's Junpei!

Thank you Yukari and Fuuka for worrying about me. Well, lately, I've been feeling down because we couldn't erase the Dark Hour, Kirijo-senpai got into a lot of trouble, and that guy Ikutsuki was like that, and then Chidori... I have no idea why, but she suddenly started saying she didn't want to see me. I was a helpless samurai with no hope of a future. Even if I asked someone for advice, there was no point in asking her the reason.

Anyway, I'm sorry for being depressed all by myself. I'm sorry!

For now, there's nothing I can do about it, so I'm going to go back to the hospital once I've calmed down and ask what happened. I guess I'll consult them about something then.

Takeba, can you give me some love advice? I wonder if you understand the subtleties of a man's heart. And in the first place, do you have time to stick your nose into other people's affairs?

I'm re-watching SGA again and omfg the first episode when weir and daniel are talking, "Atlantis" "I think we can go there" CHILLS

(Gonna be updating this like live tweeting because I can and I will)

-(@autistic-crypt1d)

Updates:

- Ok so straight up did not remember there was no intro for the first few episodes. Also, John and Teyla's first interactions are sooooo awkward, I always forget that. DAMN the plot is so good right off the bat though. The city rising from the ocean??? BEAUTIFUL, MORE CHILLS, GORGEOUS.

- the color scheme and lighting for the wraith ships is soooooo different in the beginning WOW. The blue and grey, complete lack of other colors aside from a slight yellowish light. So drastically different from the heavy yellow and green fleshyness it becomes later on.

- FORD, AHH 💛

- I've always wondered if the red haired wraith was intentionally not following the black or white hair scheme or if that was a pilot thing where they hadn't thought that far yet. (If anyone knows please lmk)

- DAMN the wraith are so fucking cool. I'm 1000% going to make a whole seperate post ranting about them, but I just have to say they introduce them SO WELL. They're intimidating, mysterious, powerful, and not to mention SO UNIQUE. GAAAAAH!!

- "We are merely the caretakers for the ones who sleep" CHILLS. FUCKING CHILLS DUDE. All the lifsigns appearing and the pods lighting up??? BRUH

- Ok Teyla and John's first head bonk, ADORABLE. I love that they do that and that's their thing ya know? Like it's her people's thing but the only expedition member she does it with is John as far as I can remember.

- Episode 3, THE INTRO ARRIVES AND IT IS BEAUTIFUL

- gotta say, the personal forefield thing is a lil inconsistent, like the coffee can't touch his body in the slightest but he can grip the cup? Could be that they're expecting the viewer to assume the forcefield is creating a gap between his hand and the cup and just left out the sound and green flash, but idk

- Jinto (Ginto? I'm not sure how it's spelled) is such a fun character, I wish he was featured with the other ethosians after the move from Atlantis :/

- I love how Sheppard, Teyla, and Rodney all start to really become a team already in ep 3 with the shadow creature. All 3 not knowing eachother really at all, but after everything on the wraith ship and now with this creature threatening everyone on atlantis, they come together and we see their strengths as individuals and their ability to work together using them. Plus getting to see Rodney really step up and be selfless really gives you a new view on him after his appearances on SG-1.

- idk if it was intentional, but Ford being in the infirmary and not with the other 3 could be some serious foreshadowing for later. I mean him not being there while the majority if the team forms really does not set him up for success being the fourth. Don't get me wrong, I adore Ford, I just also think that Ronan fits the team better and provides a better dynamic.

- I kinda love how there's no discussion shown about Teyla joining the team, she's just on the next mission with them. After the 3rd episode it just makes sense ya know?

- iratus (aratus?) bug, then eventually John literally gets infected and starts turning into a wraith cuz of the retro virus? Bro cannot catch a break

- gotta say, the audio balancing in this show is not my favorite, I always have to crank it up by like 10 when it's all talking and then am immediately auditorally flashbanged when the action starts 😂

- I know it's all serious and shit but Rodney and Ford getting tossed around the back of the jumper is fucking hilarious, especially knowing that they themselves are throwing themselves around

- UGH KAVANAGH

- "don't talk to me about screwed!" Teyla's face at Rodney, PRICELESS. Like, do you not see the man paralyzed with the bug on his neck sapping his life force? Stfu

- omfg I never noticed before but when they're running up the dirt hill from the wraith in John's flashback of the bug attachment, Teyla grabs his arm to get up the hill because the sand is constantly crumbling 😂

- Weir putting Kavanagh in his place, PEAK.

- "you're telling me he can't go through the gate while that thing is on him?" "Then we must do something NOW" THE DRAMA, I LOVE IT, THE MUSIC AS BECKETT EXPLAINS THE PLAN, UGH, SO GOOD

- man even though everyone was fine you can see on Halling's face how the fact that Weird didn't allow the ceremony to happen affected him. Like, would it have sucked for the rest of the people on the ship to be told to prepare to die? Yes, but Teyla might have felt comforted by it, we don't get to find out. Really foreshadows all the conflict that occure between the cultures because of their differences later on and how the expedition's culture is always the one that gets its way. The Athosian's really get the short end of the stick in their relationship with the expedition members for like, the entire show :/

- OOF and it only gets worse with Ep 5 when they think there's a spy and only after basically accusing every Athosian of maybe colluding with the wraith (literally the biggest insult you could ever say to an Athosian or really anyone in the pegasus galaxy), do they find out about the necklace. Not to mention the tension when Bates accused Teyla and all that goes down I mean, YIKES.

- ANYWAY

- I will never get over the fact that they fucking TAZED a wraith dude 😂

- ok so they've captured their first wraith, but I always wondered why they never bothered to try and capture another iratus bug. I mean, they already theorized in its first appearance that they're some sort of prehistoric ancestor to the wraith and they're easier to contain and handle than a whole ass wraith so why no let study it? I think they do later when the whole inoculation thing happens but I guess idk why they wouldn't take the opportunity to study something like that off the bat. Even just to study the regenerative abilities.

- bro episode 6 makes me so sad every time, the ancients really just decided to tell them to off themselves in order to get to their version of heaven instead of something asking the lines of maybe, idk, don't have too many kids or something?? Don't stray outside the field?? Anything else??? I'm sure the ancients had some sort of birth control, maybe share that tech??

- is it just me or does Keras 1000% have a crush on Sheppard? (Who could blame him tbh) I mean, the smile he gives him at the end???

- brooooo not the Hoffan drug event 😭 it's so sad dude, the desperate attempt to save themselves only for it to kill a huge chunk of their people and lead to them fleeing their planet as the wraith attempt to wipe them out.

- ya know, they keep that wraith in the brig for a while and there's no bathroom in there, do wraith even need to use the bathroom since they only feed on life force? If they eat regular food does that mean they have to use the bathroom?

- ok ep 8, underground, absolutely one of the most infuriating episodes imo. The Genii are great antagonists, but god damn are they infuriating about ittttt. Tyrus getting himself killed in the wraith ship and Teyla getting blamed for it??? Don't even get me started on Kolya and Sora dude.

- ya know, I find it interesting how they differentiate scientists and military personnel in the field initially. It changes at some point but right now the scientists are in the tan color while military are in the dark navy. They obviously have the color coding back at atlantis with the color blocking, but the field stuff changes and I think that's interesting.

- the cocooning thing the wraith do to save victims for a later feeding is such a horrific and unique thing to add to them as a species and enemy. Like, that's so cool in such an awful way, they really nailed making the wraith scary dude.

- man it's so weird to see this version of the wraith ships, they're so much more techy than fleshy

- ok so ep 9 "Home", always confused me for one reason, Simon and Elizabeth. They mention him like once after his first appearance I think with absolutely zero follow up. He's such a weird like Checkovs gun fuck up (I think I'm using that right, he's like the opposite of "if you mention a gun it should eventually go off"). His relationship with Weir is never flushed out further and it's all so weird.

- something I really like about the episode is how right off the bat there's hints that something is wrong after they believed they dialed earth. Like, when Weir comes through the gate into the SGC she's alone, but in the briefing room suddenly McKay is with her. Of course things only get more confusing from there once we see Sheppard there etc etc.

- can we all agree they did Teyla so damn dirty with her hair rn

- ep 10 THE STORM OMFG. I am SO excited for this episode dude let's goooooooo

- THE DRAMAAAA, god the scene is set so perfectly, the coming storm, the danger, the empty city, GAH such a good setting for what's to come

- the fucking bacon convo between the two guards PFFFFT, I love it so much dude

- Rodney slickly leaning on the intercom to alert Sheppard is just so good. I love those two SO MUCH dude. Those two can do fuckin anythinggggg.

- Sheppard yelling at Kolya over the walkie in the wind with the waves crashing, god he's such a badass and everyone fucking KNOWS ITTTT

- I FORGOT IT WAS A 2 PARTER. I'm even more excited about The Eye, shit is about to get REAL.

- Rodney standing between Kolya with the gun and Elizabeth, I love that man dude.

- "Oh would you look at this?! That is just never gonna be useful again!" - Rodney McKay, being dramatic as per usual and I love it

- John sheppard literally in the rafters waiting for the Genni FOOLS who thought they could take him. Bro really saw those life signs disappear and whimpered "report...". He knew true feat that day.

- McKay's sign "REALLY REALLY DANGEROUS, DO NOT TOUCH.". Sheppard 👀... imma touch it

- the way weir grabs Kolya as he presses Rodney against the railing, heavily contemplating throwing him over. She couldn't possibly stop him, but the way she tries and runs to grab him after he's released, so wholesome dude.

- "are you telling me to shut up again?" "Again."

- "turn. around." "You turn around" "what?" "Well if I have to turn around, you should turn around." Sassiest mf alive.

- Bro the final grounding station being sperated and everyone all at once realizing there is only one place to go, the control room. Everyone in the same place, the culmination of the entire ordeal. Have I mentioned how fucking AWESOME the sound track is for this show??? Because DAMN.

- ok Sora pisses me off, but the hallway scene with her and Teyla where she comes at her. Dude the emotion and reckless abandon she has confronting her, it's so good. Plus Tesla's entire lack of fear, she knows she can take this girl down in a heartbeat and she will if she has to, but she doesn't and god that's so badass.

- "you said this would work!" "I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE NOTICED BUT I'M AN EXTREMELY AREOGANT MAN WHO BELIEVES ALL HIS PLANS WILL WORK"

- "I'm not aiming at her" fucking shoots the dude dead on, SUCH A BADASS DUDE.

- the lightning through the halls, the apocalyptic size wave heading for the city, AHHHH (wave is a lil janky looking but still dope)

- "nice work Rodney" "did you ever doubt me?" "Yes, several times"

- man the ancient weapons platform satellite was introduced a lot sooner than I thought! Now I'm sad because I remember that part.

- this episode (12) is both awesome and like, depressing af. Seeing Sheppard go one on one with this wraith who's been trapped on a planet alone thinking only of eating and escaping is so intense. Not to mention the wraith that's just eaten the two scientists he was supposed to protect. I also absolutely love Ridney wanting to go out and help Sheppard despite his background as a scientist and general phobia of... everything combat related. Also can I just say that this episode is HELLA FORESHADOWING (intentional or not) for S5 E19 - Vegas??

- oh hey, it's the bugs from that one SG-1 episode with Cadet Hayley.

- bro Sheppard realizing there could still be a Wraith on board

- the fact that this Wraith was also one who was actively part of the war with the ancients and his last interaction was that of combat, bro is out for bloooood

- watching Sheppard shake tf outta the bandage trying to unravel it only to still slap it on on top of the strap at first. How are we supposed to believe this mf actually tied that onto himself XD (jk John is amazing he can do anything obviously)

- almost blows himself up 2 seconds later

- there's gonna be a post where I talk about the wraith extensively but I have to say that I just love how multidimensional they are. Like the ones without masks aren't just soldiers or mindless drones for their queen, they're smart. Like this wraith is just boping away in the controls of the lantian ship, activating the forecfield, figuring out how to use a human gun. It's horrifying in such a cool way! A monster that gives even adults nightmares that is smart dude, that's so dope.

- I don't think people talk about Rodney witnessing Dr. Gall's death in this episode. I mean that's gotta have fucked him up dude. You can see it in his face afterwards. Then he has to go from that to confronting a wraith that's trying to kill Sheppard and he does. No hesitation he goes out there and opens fire dude.

- ooooo episode 13, the death by fear shit

- I love seeing Rodney in a leadership position. Is he an ass? Yes, but he is genuinely a fantastic leader. I don't think he should run Atlantis or anything, but he's fantastic in a second in command type deal and I love seeing it.

- dude Peterson is THE WORST dude. He's 10000% the mf in a zombie movie who hides a bite. Like I get you're scared but you're endangering literally everyone else.

- seeing the city quarenteen on its own once Peterson gets out of the damaged sensor area is so cool. I know it's all coding and stuff but man do they have a fantastic way of making the city feel alive.

- I don't understand how the red hazmat suits Sheppard and Teyla put on do anything. They're not sealed, like the hood is just kinda slapped on there. Carson's teams suits look sealed but theirs? Idk I wouldn't trust that

- ugh I really do not.like episode 14 y'all. There is literally zero chemistry between the ancient lady and John, it is so forced it's PAINFUL. Also another prime example of how the ancients are massively pompous self important dickheads that caused almost every single massive problem we see in stargate istg. Wraith? Their fault, replicators? Their fault and thus the annihilation of the asgard, their fault. Anubis? ALSO THEIR FAULT. Also probably like a lot more that we don't even know about cuz those fuckers have been meddling with the universe for a long ass time before getting wiped out.

- bro Sheppard believing this random ass person over RODNEY, will never not piss me off. This man has been there for you no matter what and you're not even gonna give him the benefit of the doubt that something is up with this complete stranger??? HE'S ABSLUTELY RIGHT ABOUT HER TOO OFC.

- the way Rodney starts walking towards Sheppard as he runs off to get a jumper. He wanted to go with him so bad 😭

- ok there's gonna be a rant in another post about the ancients rn, I'll put the link here

- "ah, that's what I thought, freezer burn." ABSKDJSKA RODNEY

- 1 x 15 is a pretty meh episode to me overall, but "that's not what happened, not the first time" and the whole flooding scene are pretty damn awesome

- the way I would immediately cry if I got there and realized we were fucking underwater dude, hell no. Then when the flooding started??? I'd have a heart attack before I drowned.

- Rodney staying behind, working until the end, duuuuude 😭

- the fact that Weir chooses the jar Sheppard gave her for her birthday to put her ashes in...

- ep 16 man, the one off insinuation of romance with McKay and the archeologist woman is so weird first of all. Sheppard seems to be the only one who agrees with that (jealous?)

- the other woman with them who rats em out to Kolya, UGH. DUDE.

- Sheppard not wanting to let McKay go alone with Kolya, so cute

- bro poor Carson being tasked to dog fight a damn wraith dart 😭 he's a nervous wreck in the best of days dude

- my question is, how does no one notice the piece that's hiding the last stone in the map? It's clearly a slot, like, come on now.

- Sheppard and Rodney getting side tracked about the Mensa thing, TWICE 😂

- they way Rodney looks to Sheppard after hearing the news of the wraith dark and loss of a jumper and crew. Teyla doesn't, no one else, we're shown Rodney looking to him.

- ok ep 17 is the whole preparing for the hive ships thing, this is leading up to 2 of my absolute favorite episodes (siege 1 and 2)

- they finally fixed Teyla's hair!

- duuuuude, seeing the hive ships for the first time, not to mention the cruisers with them, WOAH. The sheer size and quantity of them.

- watching Ford's video tape knowing what's about to happen in Siege pt 2... ouch.

- Carson losing it trying to tell his mom he misses her 😭 I love that man

- Teyla and Sheppard clashing over their ideals due to their background is so good. I love that they show their different viewpoints, never really pushing for one being right or wrong. Then for them to both have to sit and watch the culling happen before their eyes, a mutual, horrible feeling of helplessness.

- "you didn't say anything that would require security clearance did you?" "Security clearance?" 😂

- Rodney's entire video tape

- Dr. Weir's recordings to inform the families of deceased expedition members 😭

- UGH, KAVANAGH.

- The final snippets of video ahhhhhhhhhh

- SAM

- bro ep 18 is STRESSFUL AF. The revelation about the source of Tesla's powers, the conflict with her and Bates, finding out there's been a god damn WRAITH in the city THE ENTIRE TIME since the dart showed up.

- I know it's a really short scene, but Teyla and Sheppard sparring is still a favorite. It just shows once again how much they truly view eachother as equals, far too often are female teammates viewed as less, weaker, in need of protection. Not these two though, they don't hold back with eachother, they know that the other can take it and they continue to push eachother to be better. I love them so much. Not to mention how much they value the thoughts and opinions of the other.

- Rodney and Teyla running into eachother at Dr. Heightmeyer's office and him immediately making up a ridiculous excuse is so so Rodney.

- Ford making fun of Rodney making a tiny dick joke about him only to be SHUT TF DOWN by Sheppard is so funny

- Teyla being confronted with a fact she's been running from her whole life is so heartbreaking. She's connected to the Wraith, the species who has terrorized and killed her people and countless others throughout the galaxy for thousands and thousands of years.

- getting pretty much confirmation that the wraith created the damn wraith, angerrrrrr

- ok rq, Weir just said that according to the data from the lab, Wraith don't seem to be able to read the minds of humans even though they have a telepathic network, but they can on some level. We saw it in episode 2 when Colonel Sumner is being interrogated by the Wraith. Not only did she kinda read his mind, but she got so inside his head she was able to force him to kneel just using her mind! Maybe this is just cuz she's a queen (it's mentioned in that underwater power rig episode queens are significantly more powerful mentally than other wraith.), but still, it is entirely within their ability to read and influence human minds on some level. Even without the experimental stuff done to Teyla's ancestors.

- what's with everyone getting sedated in these shows

- UGH. BATES MY GUY STOOOOOP.

- I totally get that the Ancients are basically gods to the people of the pegasus galaxy, but Halling expecting the people of Atlantis to risk letting the Wraith get to the Milkyway out of faith? Faith that people who abandoned their galaxy over 10,000 years ago leaving the inhabitants alone to be repeatedly harvested and tormented by creatures they created? After all of that, all the horrors he's seen, the people he's lost and he wants them to risk letting it happen to a whole other galaxy because the Ancients might have a plan??? BRO.

- R "Oh yeah. Yeah that's permanent back damage." Peter "Sorry, I assumed it would come on more slowly." R "Well you assumed with my life." (He's so sassy I love it)

- I love the satellite trio so much, I wish we could've gotten more before... sadness. Also, how TF did Miller snap the pencil that easily???

- PETER NOOOOOO 😭 the way that they say they'll see eachother after the fight is so devastating dude, they're saying it for eachother but they both know he's not making it out of there alive and it breaks. my. heart.

- god, watching the first wraith ship be destroyed, everyone filled with joy and hope that maybe, just maybe they can win this fight. Then the wraith ships start to turn and Peter can't get the satellite back online and they all know exactly what's about to happen. Rodney tries to come back for him anyway but it's too late, it was always going to be too late but it doesn't make watching the satellite be destroyed any less devastating. Not only have they lost the satellite, their only hope, but their friend was on board when it happened and that, that is what kills their hope in that moment.

- new colonel guy irritated the fuck outta me right off the bat. Bro thinks after reading their message and mission reports that he has ANY idea what they're up against and it's bonkers.

- AHHH, the way Sheppard stands with Weir against the Colonel guy cutting her out, I love that man.

- I've been pausing this episode like a billion times because I have so much to write about it, help.

- the fact that Sheppard warns them they should keep some of the proximity warheads in reserve and he doesn't listen... AUGH. He is sooooo gonna regret that later.

- Carson and Rodney bickering will never stop being hilarious

- even tied up, blindfolded, and alone in a Genii facility, Elizabeth stands her ground like a damn badass.

- "yeah well we're building nuclear bombs here, staying awake is a prerequisite." "Snappy." PFFFFT

- poor Rodney man, dude already doesn't sleep enough, but now he's been awake for days already and still running around being the only reason any of these plans have a chance in hell. He needs a nap and a snack asap.

- "So long Rodney" you could write this off as Rodney being the person who happened to be in the room when he decided to man the jumper manually, but I think we all know that's not the case. He's run off in silence without so much of a word to anyone more times than I can count, but Rodney, he has to say goodbye, even if it's a crappy one.

- "You let Sheppard fly that jumper?" God he is so heart broken in this moment, he never had the chance to stop him but Elizabeth, she has the opportunity and she didn't. I don't think he ever could've truly forgiven her for that if he'd died.

- GOD DAMN I FORGOT THIS WAS A 3 PARTER.

- Rodney dropping the clip PFFFFFT

- Ford... his storyline makes me so sad, especially in this episode. The character we love so dearly, this boy who has seen war and conflict and violence and is still so full of joy and love loses himself before our very eyes. Before the eyes of his friends and there's nothing they can do to stop it.

- THE MUSHROOM CLOUD GOD DAMN

- "why are you whispering?" "I dont know, just seemed like the right thing to do."

- god the siege episodes are so good, if you wanna hear about my ramblings in more detail I'll link that post once it's made here.

- this is getting long af so each season will have it's own post

I know you've written about similar things before a little but I am sick with a cold rn and I have no idea what is going on but its like I've been blasted with dottore fixation juice.

Dotties morning voice is just so... mghanhgh... he grumbles in your ear from behind about some idiot that spilled a valuable substance on even more valuable notes, nibbling on your earlobe just a little while his arms are wrapped around your waist and grasping at your shirt.

Nearly growling right in your ear as you try to get up to go to the bathroom, he already has so little freetime to sleep with you, now you're trying to leave? When you whine and pout like a puppy, begging him to come cuddle with you for days and when he finally gives in you try to leave?! (No you aren't leaving for the next hour at least, you're gonna have to hold it in.)

Ah... and being sick right now. Its nothing serious but half the time I sit around feeling half dead... I should be drinking lots of water and resting but I don't wanna! He needs to force you into bed and under the sheets, grumbling with an annoyed frown on his face. I don't like soups very much either... especially the ones meant for when you're sick, they're just icky! He tells you to shut up and eat because you're not gonna get any better running around like a headless chicken while also spreading your disease to his underlings. If you still adamantly refuse he will not hesitate to just grab your face and shove the spoon into your mouth...

Little baby zandik is worried about you and wants you to read him a story but your voice is too hoarse to do that... Dottore scoffs at his child self but allows him near you. Baby zandik happily cuddles with you even if your breath is raspy and your body shivers but skin is too hot.

Obviously I love softie and secretly a sweetie dottie but I've been going circles with a quiet and always seemingly irritated dottie... he obviously loves you and worries for you but he's not gonna start babying you! It's just something about that kind of quiet dominance... where he can only give you a disapproving shake of his head when you do something dumb, or that disappointed dad tone when you hurt yourself... villain who's secretly sweet for their lover is always cute but grumpy x sunshine is a very close second... I think I may have accidentally made him sound mean and uncaring? I mean it in a way that he acts kind of like that but he really does love you!! Idk how to explain and I'm really just going off on my sick brain rambles rn... 😔 I wish dottie was real I need a mean cuddle buddy who bites me when I say something stupid...

Oh anon I hope you're feeling better by now!! :( Make sure to get lots of rest okay? I absolutely adore this brainrot though and I hope my additions can make you feel a lil better :3

RAHHHH SCRATCHING THE WALLS AT DOTTORE’S MORNING VOICE!! My heart… ugh, the first thing you hear, see, touch in the morning is Dottore 🫠 yea he’s ranting about some fool this early but who cares!! You can probably barely even process his words when his pointy teeth are just nombing a lil bit on your teeth and then making his way to you neck… and then burying his face there as he mumbles sone more complaints ❤️ LMFAO PLEASE HIM HOLDING US HOSTAGE FRRR, Bro will NOT be letting you go anytime soon!! SMH Dot will literally use your logic against you…. Aren’t you the one barging in his lab and getting in the way of his experiments begging for cuddles? You were just getting so pouty a while ago, and now you have the gall to try and leave… isn’t this what you wanted so bad? It’s actually quite rude of you to disrespect him and his time like this… now that he actually has time. Yea soooo good luck he is keeping you in bed 🙏

Anon… take care of yourself otherwise you’ll find me at your doorstep instead!! Drink your water and rest! 😡 but yes. Avoiding these things will cause Dottie to take matters into his own hands even if he has to be mean about it. Do you have no care for your body? Trying to wrestle him is futile because you WILL find yourself in bed with a lecture of him grumbling how annoying you are… (he doesn’t mean that he just wants you to get better and take care of yourself) Refusing to eat? HELP YOUR DESCRIPTION HAS ME ROLLING 😭 He’s rough and tough but it comes from a good place you know? And you know what, I’d pretend not to eat just so Dottore can force feed me (lovingly) 😻 At least his clones are immune to illness so you can bother them! OMGGG BABY ZANDY TOO I LOVE HIM SMM 😭😭🙏❤️❤️ He is the most precious baby 😭 he opens your door a crack and peeks inside repeatedly, so worried about you until you beckon him inside and he seats at your bedside troubled. He misses your piggy back rides and stories so bad :( and will happily cuddle with you if it makes you feel better! Zandy will even read you the story this time!

AND DW ANON I TOTALLY UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU’RE COMING FROM BECAUSE I LOVE BOTH SIDES OF DOTTORE ❤️🤭🤭 HE’S SO BOTH!! He’s still just that guy who struggles with being nice outwardly, who can be mean and grouchy to you every now and then, but I think you’ve been with him enough to understand how he truly feels you know? I think he feels sort of nice that he can finally have someone who can deal with his words and won’t get scared or mad at him :) But the Doctor really does love you teehee!! I hope you feel better love!!

#smooches talks #dottore love notes <3 #zandy bb <3 #we love a secret softie and a part-time meanie dot in this house #real i need dot to cuddle me and force me to sleep otherwise he'll bite me

I haven't been here in a while- so I wanted to ask when the next chapter is coming out?

On another note; How are you? Have you given yourself a treat today? Drank enough water? Did you get enough sleep?

I mossed your writing so I had to check up on you ;((

Make sure you take care of yourself!! It's very important!!

i have no idea when the next chapter is gonna come out- i've been a little bit backed up on it (i say that but it is coming in at 8.6k at the moment), it's nowhere near done, hopefully i can finish it up in the next week or so- i don't think it will be ready for this coming saturday.

ugh- as for how I've been, I'm not really sure how to answer that question. I think I just need to get through the next few days and then I can have an emotion on everything that's been going on. theres like- a fuck ton of family shit going on right now and tbh...i don't even know how to talk about it. i feel very alone and very like- under supported and underbelived. I'm starting to think that maybe...it's a good thing?? I feel this false sense of calm- but I'm not sure if i'm actually calm or just totally done.

i am trying to take care of myself! i have oil in my hair rn and i'm gonna go wash it out <3 i think thats what qualifies as selfcare for today <3 i'm sorry i don't have better news for the chapter!

Just a Little Further 13

Part 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

Ugh, really? Bad is so black and white Melody. We're better than that.

No, look at what you're making me do!

Making? Melody we're not making you do anything. We're facilitating. This is all stuff you wish you could do, but couldn't. Don't lie, we're in here too.

What are you?

We're you. The part of you that you try to keep submerged with gallons of coffee. The part of you that's really good with firearms and chalks it up to practice. The part of you that knows computer systems inside and out but never seemed to figure out people.

We fixed all that.

We're a Builder.

And you are too.

So you're the nanomachines.

No, we are Builders. The nanites help you to remember who you are. Who you are meant to be.

Then what are the nanomachines?

Think of them like... an insurance policy. We knew we probably weren't going to be around forever, we didn't know what would happen to us - by the way? Being stuck on Earth with no Gate and having to start from scratch and coming up with a better way to traverse the stars anyway? Full marks. You haven't told anyone here you can link right? Good.

Anyway, we figured that if one of us, or a descendant or hell, even a pretty close relative found a Gate and like the foolish, curious monkeys we (yes we) are touched it, you'd get the nanites and they'd help you to... remember what we were. What we are.

Melody, you have to realize.

We are in charge here. Us. You. The whole of Reach of the Might of Vzzx. The whole of FarReach. The whole Galaxy. You are in charge. You are Empress.

You're tired. You need to eat, you need to sleep. Tell everyone here whatever, it's fine. Half of them don't believe it and the other half, like Captain Q'ari, know it in their hearts and are already frightened. Play at it all you want but when you're ready to take your mantle as Builder,

I'll be right here.

"Melody?" It's Dr Irenimum. He's at the airlock. "Melody? Do you want to come to the infirmary?" He didn't tell me, he asked.

"Yes, please Doctor Irenimum. I think something is wrong with me."

When I get there, I lay on the table and he begin another scan. The hum of the machines is so soothing, I nearly fall asleep. Before I can nod all the way off he says. "Okay Melody, I'm all finished. Let's take a look at what we can see."

He spends a moment looking at the results. His body language says he has bad news and fears telling me.

"What is it Doctor? Please tell me."

"Uh well Melody, it looks as if the nano machines have... replicated further. Do you feel the same as before?"

I laugh dryly. "In what way Doctor? You saw me outside right? I'm apparently taken the mantle of Builder and am now a living God to everyone onboard this Starbase and-" I look at my hands "-I have the power to back up that claim."

"Er, um, no, I meant more like your weight. You're nearly two kilograms heavier. All of it nano machines."

I'm what?

"Dr Irenimum, isn't that a whole lot of nano machines?"

"Hmm yes, yes. Trillions, if not more. Yes. Working in concert I imagine they make you formidable. Increased processing power, increased reaction time, you apparently can understand all languages and can now manipulate fields to rearrange matter nearly on the atomic level. Whoever these Builders originally were, they were nobody to trifle with."

They were us, Melody. Humans were the Builders. Are the Builders.

Shh.

"Is... Is there anyway to remove them? Or turn them off?"

"Off? No, no I don't think so no." Dr Irenimum thinks for a moment. "Well, maybe a very very strong magnetic field. But that would also have the unfortunate side effect of killing you too. Plus, with a density this high and clearly how much work they're doing with your body, I have a feeling that turning them off will just kill you outright."

He's right. There's no getting rid of us.

"But, er, other than that." I chuckle darkly "I'm okay?"

"Oh? Yes yes, you're better than okay I'd say. Compared to the baseline scans we took when the mission started you're in better health then ever."

See? We have good points too. With us, you need never die.

"Melody? I believe we've removed beyond the realm of the physical to the... metaphysical." Dr Irenimum makes a face. He hates religion. Good, that make two of us. "You know you're not a God and... most of us here know you're not a God, but they out there?" He gestures towards the airlock. "They're pretty sure you're a God. Given you you reacted today when the security guards tried to break up a... congregation of your worshippers? I'd say that their side it looking better and better."

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. "Doc, you don't think I'm a God, do you?"

For the first time since I came in, he looked me in the eye. "Melody. There is an old, old K'laxi religion. It's about the Gates actually. See, we had no proof, but one of our religions stated that there would be "doors in the sky" to other worlds. Time passed, and we moved on and left the religion behind - well, most of us anyway - but when we went into space, and found the Gate? Well, you could say there was quite the revival of the religion. More than a few wars were fought over it. Once we learned how to traverse the gates and there were no Gate Builders around anymore, we figured maybe it was just a legend, or maybe it was something that was true aeons ago, but was left in the dust of history."

Dr Irenimum looks away. "Then we met humans."

"They sure met the description we had in the holy books of the Builders. You had no Gates though! It couldn't be you. You traversed space in a whole different way and when we asked you about the Gates you had no idea what we were talking about. It was a coincidence."

He looks me in my eyes again. "But now... Now, we traverse the Gates in a ship built by humans and modified by K'laxi. A human touches the Gate and it reacts in a way never seen before. A human touches the directory stone and you get wild... powers, there is no other way to describe it. A human with these powers brings us across the Galaxy and we find a Starbase full of species we've never met and when they first see you Melody. When they first talk to you Melody, they act like God came to visit."

"When a group of their churchgoers shows up and security comes to break up the group with violence you cow them all with words and light and force and they are compelled to do your bidding."

"Okay then Doctor. What does your religion say about the Builders?"

Once again, he meets my eyes. "Nothing good Melody. It feared your return. Their Empress was known as Tep’ra’fel - the undeniable. It said she literally could not be disobeyed."

"Melody, I fear that our old religion is right. Captain Q'ari doesn't know what to do. I think her family was still religious even in these more... modern days. She fears you."

"But what do I do Doctor? I don't want to be a God." I nearly wail.

You are you who are Melody. There is no denying yourself.

"I don't know Melody. You are who you are. Have solace in the fact that you are a good person, and have shown all of us here on FarReach that fact. You are a kind, generous, good person. A little bit of Godhood won't change that." He pats my back. "It's late. Go sleep. Things will be clearer in the morning."

I get up and thank him and go to my quarters. The ship is dark and quiet, by ship-time it's late. I am exhausted. I barely have the energy to take off my uniform - ugh vestments now I guess - and crawl into bed.

Another night, more wild dreams.

****

This time I'm in a throne at a Starbase. Maybe the one we visited? Maybe not.

I'm there, and everyone fears and loves me. Everyone.

I tell them so, and they agree. I tell them to build the Starbase and it is done. I tell them to build a gate and they build it. This one isn't active yet, the ring is folded tight to the asteroid. It's towed by a ship - a Starjumper? - no, it can't be - towards a gate and it disappears off to the far reaches of our - my - empire to expand. Any sapients we meet along the way become my subjects. I am Builder. I am Empress. I am.

A courier ship traverses my Gate. They approach my Starbase with news of my empire. A small race of newly found sapients - they call themselves K'laxi - have rebelled. They had the temerity to kill their overseer and close their Gate. How did they learn to do that? No matter. I will go and see to the Gates reactivation personally.

The messenger fears giving me the bad news. This is right, but I am not without pity. I do not destroy them for the crime of bringing me bad news. If people fear to bring me bad news they will hide it from me until the empire totters over, all the while I think everything is fine.

No. The messenger is rewarded. A new ship, bigger, more comfortable. A promotion. Command of Courier Corps Ten. Go forth and give me the news - good and bad - of my empire.

****

You know, when that happened originally you had the messenger killed and the ship destroyed. You are learning.

But, killing the messenger only tells everyone else to keep bad news from me - her. Then she wouldn't know when things fell apart.

Which is what happened yes. A mere century after that incident, the K'laxi closed their gate permanently. The only time you were disobeyed on such a level before that was when the splinter group of Builders on one of your furthest colony worlds conspired to close and lock their Gate and prevent anyone from entering it. It was theorized they destroyed their own Gate, though until now we had no idea.

On Earth?

That's what you call it yes.

How long ago was this?

I don't know, it's not like you keep the same calendar. Tens of thousands of years probably. More even. Given the statue and how well we're integrating, not long enough for genetic drift to change you that much though. No more than fifty thousand is my guess. The K'alxi though? That was much more recent. It's one of my last memories.

So what, I'm a... reincarnation of the Empress?

A... memory maybe. A double exposure. The nanites contained enough of her personality that we can give you her abilities and you are a Builder - it wouldn't work if you weren't - but now?

Now you can do it right.

With that, I wake up and get dressed. Good work previous me to make sure my uniforms are clean and pressed. I put one on that doesn't look like Holy Vestments or something. I check the time - 6:30am ships time. and realize it's still an hour before breakfast. I go to the kitchenette and make some coffee.

Really Melody? After all that, you're still going to sully yourself with.. Caffeine?

Oh goody, you're still here.

I'm no dream Melody. I am us.

Well I am the Empress, and I want coffee.

Oh, you admit you're the Empress? Tsh. Fine. Get your coffee.

While I'm making coffee Mei'la comes in. "Oh good morning Mei! I say brightly."

"G-good morning Melody." She says, awkwardly.

"Mei, what's wrong? I'm still Melody, I'm still me"

She knows you're not.

"Sorry Melody, it's tough. My... Mother's mother on that side of the familial group was very religious growing up."

"Oh. I spoke to Dr Irenimum yesterday about K'laxi religion."

"Yeah, so I'm a little freaked out to meet God."

"Mei, I don't know how many people I have to say this too, but I am not God!"

She knows you are.

"Melody, I have to say, I'm not so sure." Mei'la tries to stand straighter, to look me in the eye, to have me deny that she's wrong. Part of me is so proud of her. What a good subject.

"Mei'la, would it be easier if I was God, or if I wasn't God."

"Well, if you weren't God, I'd be less scared of being your friend. But if you are God, key, how many K'laxi are friends with God?" She laughed weakly.

I laughed too. It was funny. Plus, I knew that was the reaction she wanted to hear. How did I know that?

You know how.

Quiet, you.

"Mei'la. Is that why the Captain is acting so out of sorts?"

She nods. "Captain Q'ari was even more religious than my mom's mom. Her whole family has been churchgoers for centuries."

Shit. "I should go talk to her."

Mei'la flicks an ear. "I don't know Melody. Maybe."

Come. Let's see how malleable our Captain Supplicant is.

I said Q̷̢̭͚͙̤̠͙͍̝̑̒̆̐́͌͛͐̒͋̍̈́̚u̶̧͖͚̟̬̱͒̀͛̐̀i̷̭͚͙̭̅͌͆͋e̷̮͇͇̳͖̔̿̊ţ̴̨̱͇͍̥̤̣̳̓̿͂͐́̎̓̔́̈́̐͆̑̕ͅ, you.

Don't go and threaten us with a good time now.

Kazuscara OTP tickle questions

So I saw the OTP tk ask game going around again, and I know this technically isn't how you're supposed to do it but I am. Brainrotting. About these two sO BADLY I HAD TO GET THIS OUT before I disappear back into the void lmao

✨️So here I go ehe✨️

---

1. Who has the cutest tickle laugh? Kazuha! His laugh and giggles are so airy and just the right amount of raspy uGH I wanna hear him laugh all day...

Wanderer's laugh is really cute too but man's screaming half of the time. Tho one thing that makes him almost cuter than Zuzu is that he starts hiccupping if you tickle him long enough~

2. Who is ticklish in unusual places and where would that be? I'm not saying that neck is an unusual spot, but I think Wanderer's made_in_Inazuma mark is ridiculously sensitive-- if Wanderer is acting bratty in public, Zuzu just uses his vision to make a gentle breeze brush against the spot and Wanderer stops whatever he's doing as if he slammed into a wall and turns to pout at the other sdfghfh But also when they're alone Kazuha LOVES peppering it with tiny kisses and Wanderer is in stitchessss hehe

3. Who gets cheer-up tickles? Wanderer 100% and it's so effective and he's sO GRUMPY ABOUT IT like my god he wants to be mad about it bc it doesn't fit his ✨️mean aesthetics✨️ but he can't help but just giggle and feel like his head is getting all fuzzy n happy when Zuzu scoops him up and gently tickles him all over until he's feeling better again

4. Who takes advantage of the other one getting their arms stuck while taking off their shirt? B o t h, but Wanderer definitely learned from Kazuha ahah. And they both wear so many layers that it's a weekly occurrence and at this point they're so used to both of them taking advantage of it that they just automatically start to panic a little when they realize they're stuck, so if the other hadn't noticed it on their own they sure would now sdfghj

5. How did they discover each other’s ticklishness? Wanderer was probably breaking records being annoying and buzzing around Kazu's head, provoking him in one way or another and he just got fed up and grabbed his ankle to pull him down, but to both of their surprise Wanderer fell out of the air on his very own accord (accompanied with an adorably uncharacteristic squeak, I might add) bc the feeling startled him so much lmao and Zuzu did NOT leave him be until he admitted he was ticklish (I think y'all can imagine how Kazuha coaxed that out of him~)

And afterwards Wanderer tried to tease it out of Kazuha too but he just straight up admitted with a chuckle that "ofc I'm ticklish" and Wanderer could Not wrap his head around how he wasn't even slightly embarrassed about it lmao

6. Who can’t take tickle bites? Kazuha oh my gosh, he melts in seconds. I also think that Wanderer's teeth are a bit sharper than normal so his nibbles are DEADLY. And he knows that.

7. Who has to be tickle-forced out of bed in the morning? Hmm, neither has trouble in the morning, but I think Wanderer has to be tickled INTO bed sometimes. Sure, he technically doesn't need sleep but Zuzu wants to cuddle at night and if Wanderer's being difficult about it (which he usually isn't bc Kazuha's cuddles are god tier) he just gets dragged to bed, locked into a hug and tickled until he gets tired enough to actually fall asleep himself too hehe

8. Who gives up in a tickle fight? Wanderer, the feeling still catches him off guard quite a bit, especially when it goes on for a while since tickling has been introduced to him quite recently, so if you manage to pin him down he's done~

But once he gets a bit more used to it he'll be a dangerous opponent for sure///

9. Who is in danger of getting hurt when attacking the other? Kazu, Wanderer f l a i l s. Not a single limb is left unused in his attempts of breaking free if you tickle him hard enough He'll still pout if you stop too soon tho

10. Who always provokes the other into tickling them and how? Wanderer~ His brattiness goes up a notch and he seems to find something to playfully bicker about over everything, and it all is accompanied with a faint blush (that he will deny to the end of time) and an occasional glance at Zuzu's hands. So subtle~

But Kazuha also somehow manages to provoke him into GETTING tickled from time to time. Don't ask him how, Wanderer has no goddamn idea but it just. Keeps. Happening.

#when I say my every waking moment is consumed by these two rn.........#I've been planning on doing art about them as well but work has been Brutal sobs #also kdfhsj if anyone WANTS to send me other genshin pairings for this go for it hahah I'd love to share more headcanons✨️#genshin tickles #otp tk game #lee wanderer #ler wanderer #lee kazuha #ler kazuha

Digi Twst: Digital World pt 3

Livia: *Flops down on the bed, sighing happily at how comfortable it felt* This might be the last time we sleep somewhere comfortable, Offmon, let's enjoy it!

Offmon: *Laughs, smiling at her* Yeah, yeah!

???: AHHHHHH! WHAT IS THAT!?

Livia: *Looks back, quickly standing up and hurrying out* Guys!! Guys, what's going on!?

Livia: *Gasps, her eyes wide at the sight of Sebek in the air, frozen in place with strings connecting to his body*

Livia: *Looks around at everyone else alarmed* Guys!!

Epel: *Sits on the couch, his eyes glowing a feint red, strings attached to his arms and legs*

Livia: Guys! This isn't funny, you're scaring me!!

???: *Laughs* Silly girl, this is all your fault~

Livia: *Whips around, gasping as she and Offmon grab each other's hands*

Puppetmon: *Chuckles smugly, making Jack move around like a puppet* Heheheh, it was so easy once you ran off~

Puppetmon: You're a sweet girl, so I'll give you the chance to decide what pose you wish to be in for the rest of your life

Livia: What are you talking about? Where's the other digimon!? I don't see them!

Puppetmon: All taken care of-

???: Livia!!! We're in the chest!

???: Don't listen to Puppetmon, run for it!!

Puppetmon: I'd advise against that, little lass, you don't want to end up like your friends so quickly do you

Offmon: *Moves forward, holding his arms out* You stay away from her! I am her digimon and I will always protect her!

Offmon: With me here, I won't let you lay a single wooden finger on my partner!

Puppetmon: How admiring but boring, just go to sleep already-

Offmon: *Closes his eyes, glowing* Switch Lazy!!

Livia: *Shields her face from the light, perking up when it died down* Offmon!

Offmon: *Falls over onto his bottom* Oh, that's all of my energy...gone..

Puppetmon: Was that supposed to be an attack, how cute-

Livia: *Bashes Puppetmon right in the head with a broom handle* GET AWAY!!!

Livia: *Grabs Offmon, running out of the building* I'll come back for you, boys!!!

Puppetmon: How rude, now I have no choice! *Lifts his hand, causing the boys to move* Find her! Lure that stupid girl in by acting as if you escaped!

~~~

Livia: *Screams in alarm, dodging attacks from enemy digimon, Offmon in her arms*

Offmon: Look out!

Livia; *Leaps into an alleyway, ducking down behind trash cans*

Offmon: So hungry and sleepy...ugh..

Livia: I have leftover crackers, here *Reaches into her pocket, pulling out a packet of crackers, passing it to him*

Offmon: *Smiles, eating the crackers quickly* Yummy and salty!

???: Livia, there you are!

Ace: *Walks towards her* We've been looking for you! We stopped Puppetmon!

Livia: *Gasps quickly standing up* You did- wait, where's Agumon?

Ace: He's sleeping...come on, let's go back! *Holds his hand out* everyone is worried about you, Liv...

Livia: *Stares at his hand, glancing at Ace silently*

Livia: Offmon!!! *Quickly grabs Offmon, taking off from Ace, her hair flying behind her*

Offmon: H-Hey, that was Ace-

Livia: That was Ace but he wasn't in control! In a serious situation like these he'd have called me silly and would've called me by my full first name!!

Livia: *Looks around, finding herself at a four way path*

Offmon: Where do we go!?

Livia: I...don't know...I think we're going to get caught, Offmon!

???: *Laughs* You already have been!

Livia: *Looks around her eyes wide*

Deuce, Epel and Jack: *Walks towards her from three of the paths, their eyes glowing bright red*

Puppetmon: *Lands on the fourth path, grinning at her* Are you scared, little lass? Well you should be and you BETTER be! Once I turn you into my puppet, we will win this war!

Offmon: Livia, I haven't digivolved yet...do you think..

Livia: I don't know!!

Epel and Deuce: *Grabs Livia, forcing her to drop Offmon*

Livia: AH! LET GO!!!

Jack: *Grabs Offmon, walking away*

Offmon: *Gasps, struggling to get away* N-NO!! Livia!!

Offmon: I'M SORRY, JACK!!! *Bites down on Jacks arm, forcing him to let go*

Offmon: *Rushes away towards Livia, leaping forward and ramming his head into Deuce's side, sending him crashing into Epel*

Livia: *Hurried over* Offmon! Are you okay!?

Offmon: Mhm! I'm fine!

Livia: *Sighs in relief then looks at Puppetmon* You jerk!!

Puppetmon: HAH, last words, little missy-

???: NOT SO FAST!!

Lucemon: *Tackles Puppetmon down, the two struggling against each other* LIVIA, OFFMON, FIND ANGEWOMON!!

Livia: Lucemon!

Lucemon: Quickly, go!!

Livia: *Turns around, screaming in alarm as she dodged Ace*

Lucemon: *Gasps, strings appearing*

Lucemon: *Looks down, his eyes glowing red*

Livia: LUCEMON!!!

Offmon: I've had enough of this, it's one thing to bully but this is taking it too far!

Offmon: *Scowls, gritting his teeth*

Livia: *Perks up, looking at her digivice* Huh?

Livia: *Quickly grabs it, crouching down beside Offmon, keeping her legs together* Offmon, you ready!?

Offmon: *Nods and rushes forward, starting to glow*

"Offmon digivolve to...!!"

Livia: *Steps back, her eyes wide* Ah...Offmon?

Logamon: *Runs from the glow, glaring at Puppetmon*

Logamon: *Spins and kicks Puppetmon right in the face, sending him crashing to the ground*

Livia: Who...

Logamon: *Looks at Livia* It's little old me, Liv! I'm Offmon but right now I'm Logamon! I'll keep you safe!

Livia: *Smiles wide, her eyes watering* Offmon...

Logamon: *Fixes his hat, glaring as Puppetmon got up* Let's finish this!! You'll pay for scaring my partner and turning our friends into puppets, you wooden jerk!!

Puppetmon and Logamon: *Glares at each other coldly*

Livia: *Stares then sighs and narrows her eyes* We can do this....we have to rely on ourselves sometime's, I won't always have someone there for me..

Livia: *Looks at Logamon* You show him what's for!!

Logamon: *Nods, turning his hat around* My pleasure!

(floors it through the wall of your living room in my toyota corolla) HELLO i have another song rec. Nunemaker’s Parable by Everybody’s Worried About Owen as a potential rainhaze song perhaps?

[BIG Music Compliation Post]

MY WALL

"There was a wanderer who found his way to God Or maybe it was Lucifer under some false facade"

"Leave me the way all those other homes did But leave me a soul, only by definition I don't want to feel anything"

"With no conscience, I'll make money and I'll lie and cheat and steal And that money won't bring happiness But let me ask what does"

"So now I'm broken fundamentally And nobody gets why"

"She said "Mister, you look tired I will let you go, but first I think that what you're asking for It just might make things worse"

Incredibly fitting for him, as it happens.

youtube

I'm pretty sure this has been suggested before, but I like the song and it fits Hush Puppy very well.

"But me and my husband We're doing better It's always been just him and me Together"

"And I am the idiot with the painted face In the corner, taking up space But when he walks in, I am loved, I am loved"

youtube

I'm not certain this fits anyone in the comic, really... I can see where you're coming from but it's too confident for Cormorantpaw, and the lyrics about "making a woman out of me" really don't fit him. Still a cool song!

youtube

Oh yeah! You know it babey! Cormorantpaw is singing.

"So can I call you tonight? I'm trying to make up my mind Just how I feel Could you tell me what's real?"

"Don't go, don't go so easy Don't go, don't go and leave me"

youtube

I agree! I like Cormorantpaw wishing for a childhood he never had, and especially for someone to take care of him.

"Honestly I've had enough of looking at a dead man I just wanna scrape my knees Cry until my mommy sees"

"I just wanna be a kid But I don't wanna be a kid who was born like this"

youtube

Oh, I wonder where you got this song. *direct eye contact* Really, though, I think you're very right, and I always like a somewhat eerie old folk song.

"Round like a circle in a spiral, like a wheel within a wheel Never ending or beginning on an ever spinning reel"

"Down a hollow to a cavern where the sun has never shone Like a door that keeps revolving in a half forgotten dream"

"Pictures hanging in a hallway and the fragment of a song Half remembered names and faces, but to whom do they belong?"

youtube

I'm making an executive decision and saying Rainhaze!

"its one v. one and heres the thing you may be better in a fight but I’ve got more to lose tonight"

"hit me where it hurts, the bruising will be worth the freedom I have earned from letting everything burn"

youtube

This is probably my favorite Hozier song, I just think it's so pretty. It's definitely super fitting, and sad, for Corm and Pinepaw.

"I will not ask you where you came from I will not ask you, neither should you"

"So I will not ask you Why you were creeping In some sad way I already know"

youtube

Ugh, heartbreaking. But a good call. Silent Hill music is so interesting to me.

"Really don't deserve it But now, there's nothing you can do So sleep in your only memory Of me, my dearest mother"

"Here's a lullaby to close your eyes, goodbye It was always you that I despised I don't feel enough for you to cry, oh well"

youtube

Yeah <3

"Am I allowed to look at him like that? Could it be wrong, when he's just so nice to look at?"

"No, I'd never say a word, and oh, it aches, but it feels oddly good to hurt"

youtube

hey heyyy, if you dont feel like doing matchups atm feel free to ignore this BUT i've been a lil tempted...

(i'd prefer a guy but a lady is fine too!)

my name is basil

my pronouns are she/they :3

sexuality: bisexual w/ a preference for men

i'm a sagittarius!

im an isfp-t (according to the test im 99% introverted-)

my oshis are: luca kaneshiro, kyo kaneko and maria marionette

appearance: VERY PALE...it's kinda concerning. i have like shoulder length messy brown hair, green eyes (with VERY VISIBLE eyebags) and somewhere inbetween thick and thin.

personality: i'm rlly quiet and socially anxious in public but online? i'm probably the most unhinged person you'll ever meet. i have like zero filter and i rarely ever think before i speak. my friends say im super empathetic and nice but im also a tad bit silly... i apologize wayyy too much and i'll admit, i'm a bit of a horndog and i am decently flirty (even tho my rizz game is like -100). i also get distracted veryyy easily and i procrastinate a lot.

i rlly like cats, salty foods, calm video games, art (even tho i suck at it), my friends <3, writing, candles, anime, sleeping and vocaloid songs

i HATE flashing / bright lights, bugs and spiders, loud noises, the dark, super quiet places and social gatherings

love language (giving): PHYSICAL TOUCH 100%. i loove hugging people and just touching people in general! (that sounded rlly weird). runner ups are acts of service and words of affirmation!

love language (receiving): basically the same as giving! i adore physical touch so much, it makes me feel rlly happy :3. runner ups are quality time and words of affirmation.

extra: im EXTREMELY PICKY with food. like i barely eat throughout the day and i assume that if theres a food i havent tried, i won't like it. i also suck at cooking (aka ive never cooked anything so therefore i suck). uhhh i have a russian blue kitten named shio as well as three other cats and two dogs!!

thats it i think!

GET BETTER SOON HANNAH!!!

i pair you with…

Mysta Rias!

hear me out…

• oh my god you are actually the exact same person

• extremely introverted in public and unhinged as hell behind closed doors

• also hes said before he likes short hair on a girl so 🙈🙈

• and again, like a previous mysta matchup; neither of you can cook.

• which leads to a lot of dates whether that be in a restaurant or ordered from door dash (thats the company right? ours in sweden is called Wolt LMAOO)

• also thank you for hoping i get better i am fully recovered

• mysta adores physical touch so knowing thats your love language is amazing for him hes so infatuated jejdksjsowudbdkwo

• and VOCALOID!!! he loves vocaloid and rhythm games

• IF YOU LOVE RHYTHM GAMES HE WILL ACTUALLY DIE OF HAPPINESS

• also isfp and infj (him) go really well together imo and its just so :))

• ugh him, luca, ike, selen and pogmu… i could go on forever about them

• messages you’ll receive:

• “KISS ME BITCH” “why couldnt you just ask in person?”

• “where the fuck did all my socks go”

Someone Like You - Chapter 5

Chapter 1 | chapter 2 | chapter 3 | chapter 4 | next

Summary: Janus and his dad are both hurt and haunted by their past, it's time they'll talk about it with each other, and what's a better time than 2 in the morning?

Pairing: past anxceit, pre romantic roceit

Warnings: grief, mentions of past accident and death, regret, self deprecation, disability, insomnia. Let me know if there's anything I missed.

Word count: 1,416

Hey folks! Sorry for the late update, this week was hectic for me omg. But I'm here to deliver you another unhealthy dose of angst horray! @prince-rowan-of-the-forest

Just stop thinking about him…

Stop thinking about Virgil…

He doesn't matter anymore…

You don't need him…

Janus turned in his bed, it was hard enough to find a position where his left leg hurt the least, but now he was so restless he couldn't stop moving and turning.

Why the fuck did he agree to go there? What was he thinking? All it did was bring back all the pain he spent so much time trying to push down…

It's not fair how Virgil can hurt him even when he's not there while he gets to laugh with his new friends and kiss Roman's soft lips whenever he pleases and-

No, that's not the time to be thinking of this… he needs to sleep…

Ugh who is he kidding? He's not going to sleep tonight…

With a sigh, he got up and went to get himself some water and maybe a - he checked the time - 2am snack.

When he got to the kitchen, however, it wasn't as dark and empty as he expected. His dad was sitting at the table, looking at a photo that, even though Janus couldn't see it, was obviously of his mom.

So, it's going to be one of these nights it seems… great.

"Hey dad.." Janus said softly but his dad still jumped in surprise.

"Oh! H-hwy buddy! What are you doing up?" His dad put up a smile that wasn't fooling any of them.

Janus raised an eyebrow, "I can ask you the same question… been thinking about her?" He asked softly.

His dad let out an empty chuckle, shaking his head, "I always think about her… I never stopped… but yeah, I am.." he admitted, his barely-put-together cheerful persona falling away to reveal his sad and tired face.

He gestured weakly for Janus to sit next to him and they both stared at the picture in silence for a long moment. The three of them laughing and covered in mud on the floor.

Janus remembered that day, it was the day before the accident… it just finished raining and the sun was coming out of the clouds, making a beautiful rainbow. Janus' mom insisted they'll go out and take a picture with it so they rushed outside, his dad bringing their old camera and setting it up. They all posed but at the last second, Janus' dad slipped on the mud, making all three of them fall with him and they all burst into laughter right when the timer went down and the camera clicked.

Janus stared at himself in that picture, happy and healthy and… normal. Sometimes he forgets he ever was that… normal. His father's sigh broke him out of his thoughts.

"I should have been there…" he said quietly.

Janus held back his tears at the sound of his dad's regretful tone, "don't… it doesn't help anything… it just hurts you when you think like that… we can't change what happened."

"I know… I know you're right… but the feeling is still there… I yelled at her…" he trailed off with a sob, "my last moments with her were spent arguing over stupid things that don't matter… don't mean anything like you two mean to me…" he buried his face in his hands, taking shaky breaths. "What would she think of me now…"

Janus laid a hand on his father's trembling shoulders, "you're doing your best, she would love you for it… just like I do."

His dad relaxed back into the chair, leaning his head over his son's shoulder and relaxing slowly. "Thank you, son… that means a lot.."

They stayed that way for a long moment, before his dad lifted his head to look at Janus, "and why are you up?"

Janus sighed, he was hoping to avoid this question… "just thoughts… won't stop pestering me, ya know?" He tried but it was clear his dad wasn't buying it.

He took a deep breath, "...I went to Virgil's the other day…" he started. He never actually told his dad what happened between them, but the man was smart enough and knew him well enough to have a pretty good guess of the reason behind Virgil's sudden disappearance. "...and now I can't stop thinking about him again.." he admitted.

His father nodded in understanding, "I see… you never really told what happened between you two." He said carefully.

Normally, Janus would brush off the question, but his dad seems to need a distraction like this right now and it's not like it's some big secret… he can't stop thinking about it now anyway so might as well tell someone.

So, Janus took a deep breath, "there's not much to tell, really… one day he just stopped answering my texts… he stopped being in our usual meeting stops… then, a week or so later… I see him hanging with the popular group at our school. Not even meeting my eyes… I just can't stop wondering what I could have possibly done or said that drove him away like that… was he only my friend because he thought I was his only choice?"

Janus didn't realize he was crying until his dad reached out and wiped the tears from his cheeks, "I'm sorry son, that's awful." He hugged him gently.

Janus sniffed and sighed, "I probably deserved it…" he said quietly.

His dad pulled away to look him in the eyes, "no, you didn't, what Virgil did was not okay, you hear me?" He said firmly.

Janus nodded weakly and his dad gave him a comforting smile. "Come on, we both need to go to bed."

And they each got up and went to their rooms to try and get some sleep before the sun came up.

…

He woke up to his phone ringing.

Frowning, he pulled the phone off the charger and looked to see who was calling him.

He almost dropped his phone when he saw it was Roman of all people. Does it have something to do with their project? But it's sunday, couldn't that wait until they see each other at school on monday?

Mind racing, he nervously answered and put the phone to his ear, "hello?"

Silence.

"Roman?"

"...are you okay?"

Janus frowned, looking at the clock, "you woke me up at 8 in the morning on sunday just to ask me that?"

"Sorry I just felt really bad over what happened at Virgil's and I just had to see how you were doing…"

Janus was glad it was a phone call and that Roman couldn't see his blush, "w-what do you have to feel bad about? It's between me and Virg-"

"I know but I knew you had a history and I still convinced you to go and I'm so sorry, I didn't think it would be so painful for you…"

Roman started bubbling as Janus just sat there, stunned, "...you… blame yourself on yesterday?" He asked suddenly, making Roman stop.

"Um… yes? I guess it's kinda dumb huh?" He heard Roman chuckle awkwardly.

"No it's… actually sweet…" Janus thought to himself with heated cheeks.

"What?"

Janus suddenly realized he said it out loud and hung up immediately, heart racing. What the fuck is he doing?

He waited anxiously to see if Roman would call again, but when nothing happened, he sighed in relief and went downstairs to start on making breakfast for him and his dad.

…

"Someone is up early, it smells amazing here." His father greeted him a few hours later as he walked into the kitchen, "can I help with anything?"

Janus turned from the pan on the stove to raise an eyebrow at his dad, "last time you 'helped' I almost had to call the fire department."

"Hey! That was not my fault! The instructions were very confusing!" His dad protested with a grin.

Janus just shook his head with a smile and turned back to the pancakes he was in the middle of making.

They were just about to sit down to eat when a knock was heard from the door.

With a sigh, Janus grubbed his cane and went to answer it.

He was feeling strangely better today. He never imagined telling his dad what happened would make much of a difference but… it really did. It still hurt, but it was more dull than before… weird.

He opened the door and nearly dropped his cane when he saw who it was.

"Um… hey…" said Virgil awkwardly, "c-can we talk?"
