BadSans!Swap AU FT. Nightberry
-Swap starts off as a star sans and had believed that Ink and Dream were the best pair of friends he ever could've asked for. Sure it was extremely difficult keeping up with people who were essentially gods, but he didn't mind as long as he could help people.
-During a particularly brutal yet successful battle against the bad sanses, Swap ends up collapsing from an injury and tries to reach out for help...only to find no one there. His so-called 'friends' abandon him in the crumbling au, leaving him to die in the freezing snow of a town he recognizes but knows is not his own.
-Fortunately, Nightmare finds his unconsious body and begrudgingly rescues the betrayed sans before meeting back up with the rest of his team, having originally planned to torture or manipulate the smaller monster into joining their ranks.
-However, as it turns out, Swap joins them with little to no resistance. He had time to think back in what he had originally thought would be his tomb, and he began to truly realize just how much the Stars had actually mistreated him. Dragged along on missions with barely any time to eat or sleep, rarely given permission to visit his own au to let his beloved brother know how he was doing, all while paying no attention to Swaps mortal needs. So when Nightmare offers him a spot in the bad sanses, he takes it almost immediately.
-Swap gets along well with the rest of the bad sanses, observing their various hobbies and assisting where he can. Wether it be helping Horror with his garden, proving to have a surprisingly good poker face while playing cards with Dust, assisting Killer with pet care and blade repair, gaming with Cross, discussing literature with Nightmare, or showing off his cooking skills, he's settled in with the crew quite nicely.
-Nightmare and Swaps interest in one another, both platonically and romantically, grow over time as the two get to know each other better. Swap finally gets to see the softer sides of him, such as the gentle care he gives his underlings and the more therapeutic aspects of his abilities. Meanwhile Nightmare, while refreshed by Swaps kindness and concern, also gets to see much more intimidating and somewhat frightening sides of the peppy Sans.
-As Swap acclimates and gets more involved with the dark sanses' day-to-day activities, Nightmare quickly learns just how badly Ink and Dream screwed up by mistreating him as well as the potential the two let go to waste.
-First and foremost, Swap is highly skilled in combat. Nightmare originally thought extra training would be needed to get him caught up with the rest of the team, but the dark prince was swiftly proven wrong when each of Swaps sparring partners came back exhausted and thoroughly bruised. His energy outmatches that of his peers and he's very good at combining abilities, always eager to learn new moves.
-Secondly, Swap is more intelligent than they first assumed. When he was finally allowed to attend meetings, it took no time at all for the boney blue blur to start pointing out holes in mission plans, trap blueprints, and battle tactics while throwing out impressive ideas of his own.
-Finally and most importantly...Swap has connections. He can keep Errors interference to a minimum with a stern expression, call up the disgusting 90s parasite whenever a distraction is necessary or someone needs to dissappear, and even convince the reaper himself to turn a blind eye. Nightmare and the others quickly discovered that Swap has a variety of sanses and papyruses wrapped around his finger.
-Nightmare quickly appoints Swap as his advisor & right hand man, the bad sanses the biggest threat they've ever been thanks to the blue menace.
-It doesn't take long for Nightmare and Swap to become an offical couple, Dream and Ink wallowing in regret as they begin to stack up losses against them.
-no one stands a chance against the lord of darkness and his beloved blue beast.

Spotlight: Orion Pax - Because Hasbro was Getting Antsy About Their Golden Boy Having Faffed Off into Space
Oho, you thought we were done with Optimus Prime, did you?
You fools.
This is Transformers- we’re legally obligated to have Optimus Prime in some form or fashion running around at all times. This is just Hasbro catching up.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Fun fact: this was published on December 12th, 2012!
Our issue opens up with Orion Pax strapped to the top of a shuttle that’s careening towards a city.
But that’s the hook, so we won’t get to see what that’s all about just yet. No, first we’ve got to see just what all led to this point.
Earlier in the day, Orion Pax got refitted with a hot new bod, courtesy of Wheeljack, and now he’s showing off his new look to historical constant Rung and Kaput, who are here to assist in acclimation.
Tumblr media
This is Kaput’s first appearance in the comics, but it’s not his first entry into the IDW continuity. He was introduced in the  Last Stand of the Wreckers prose story Bullets, where he diagnosed Ironfist with dead, in so many words. Kaput’s here currently because he specializes in sparks, and he’s going to make sure that Orion’s doesn’t explode in his chest thanks to the frame change. No word on whether the wheel was something he came into the world with or a modification.
But enough medical nonsense, let’s see the star of the show.
Tumblr media
That’s not how reflections work!
Orion’s first point of contention is the fact that his lucky faceplate is missing. Wheeljack replaced it with a proper face, because that’s the new hotness right now. I guess when you’re a race of space robots who can change their bodies the way humans change their clothes, fashion is a lot more work. I wonder if faces out out of vogue in the present- there’s a lot of guys without one on the Lost Light.
Rung offers Orion some reading materials to help him cope with the sudden change, but it isn’t necessary. Orion fully intends to switch back to his old bod after his mission is over.
If you couldn’t tell by this point, this whole “frame change” thing is a plot contrivance to explain away some of the design clashing between comics set during this time period.
Tumblr media
This is Zeta.  
Tumblr media
Yes, really, they’re the same guy. I don’t think Senator Shockwave would have had him modified for Matrix carrying if he’d known how tacky he was going to be about it.
Zeta Prime seems to think that haute couture is exploding a Galapagos turtle and then strapping the smoking remains to your back.
Zeta leads Orion over to where Nightbeat’s waiting with a slideshow he spent hours on. Nightbeat, at the time of this story, is a hostage negotiator, and today his mission, as well as Orion’s, is to retrieve our beloved Ratchet from a Decepticon terrorist cell hiding somewhere in the Rust Spot. The Rust Spot’s some heavy duty danger, hence the reformat for Orion.
They’ll also be bringing on Alpha Trion, #1 Rust Spot navigator, philosopher, polymath, polyglot, historian, and all-around grandpa.
Tumblr media
His beard gets a D+, however.
Note the quotation marks on “he” here; it looks like even Roberts was sick of the Furmanism that is “genderless robots that all appear to be male”. We’ll get more into that sticky situation later on. What I want to focus on right now is our artist for the issue, Steve Kurth.
Kurth is from Wisconsin, and doesn’t have a ton of pencil credits to his name in the Transformers franchise. He mostly does work for Marvel, and while it appears his art blog hasn’t been updated in a few years, the publishing company still has a tag for him. He’s done the Avengers, if that’s your thing.
Anyway, so nobody knows who’s in the back.
Tumblr media
I gotta say, Alpha Trion, you got some brass fucking balls to insinuate that the cops forgot to put the hostage tradeoff in the trailer, in front of said cops.
The fellas transform and roll out, Orion pulling the trailer because anything else would be blasphemy, as Alpha Trion guides them to the meet up point. As they drive, the old man regales the young whippersnappers with his tales of friendship and adventure alongside Metroplex the Titan. They were, like, best friends. Seriously.
Storytime gets interrupted however, as our heroes are attacked from beyond the mists.
Tumblr media
You know, when I was a kid, my mom had a car that looked exactly like Nightbeat here, paint job and all.
Alpha Trion got so wrapped up in blathering away, he forgot to mention that they were in Slicer territory, and might want to be on the lookout. Thanks, Alpha, way to be a pal.
Nightbeat refers to the creatures as “throwbacks”, something that’s never elaborated on, but I’m going to guess it means something along the lines of being primitive, or perhaps animalistic.
Tumblr media
Holy fucking shit, that’s terrifying.
These awful things start swarming Orion, Nightbeat, and Alpha Trion, who all start punching and shooting with wild abandon, making short work of the mass. Orion gets a few paper cuts for his troubles, but they’re all more or less alright.
The trailer can’t say quite the same though; the door’s popped off, and the contents have either escaped or never existed in the first place.
Tumblr media
Schrodinger wept.
Alpha Trion pulls the prisoner out of the fog
 and then so does Nightbeat.
Tumblr media
It’s a two-for-one sale at the Hostage Emporium.
Rack and Ruin haven’t really done anything to warrant being worth a whole entire Ratchet, so Orion decides to have a little chat and see what’s up.
Tumblr media
Oh, that’s what Nightbeat meant by Ruin being the ugly one.
Orion’s chat reveals these two chumps to be even bigger losers than they first appeared to be- their only talent seems to be instantaneous conversion, which involves shutting off all the safety protocols for one’s transformation cog for a faster switch.
Orion switches trains of thought, asking about the Decepticon cause and its whole deal. This is a bit after the events of the heist, so the rhetoric has become a bit more violent by this time, and he wants to know what the hell happened.
But there’s no time for philosophic musing, because that’s when the Decepticons show up. Thundercracker escorts our group to the hideout to meet Bludgeon, and the exchange is made, albeit with a pro bono thrown in.
Tumblr media
Well, shit.
This was why the Decepticons wanted to meet in the Rust Spot; because they knew only Alpha Trion would be able to guide the cops to the tradeoff point. But what are they going to do with robot grandpa? Why, use him to find Metroplex, of course!
There’s a rumor that Titans have the capabilities to create space bridges inside them- we as the reader know this to be true thanks to the 2012 MTMTE Annual, but let’s not tell Bludgeon about all that, yes?
Tumblr media
Orion, please, this is hardly the time.
Luckily for Alpha Trion, Orion stuffed some guns into the bottom of the trailer, as is made apparent when he starts throwing them to his buddies. Why he and Nightbeat weren’t carrying any weapons on their person isn’t addressed, but at least the idea here is kind of cool.
Alpha Trion  easily escapes his bonds, because a noose isn’t really worth much to a species that doesn’t breathe and can literally survive not having a head.
Tumblr media
We are just laying it on THICK today, aren’t we?
Rack and Ruin lead the other not-Decepticons into the tunnels towards safety- not sure how exactly, considering they’ve got their sensory deprivation helmets back on- as Orion Pax is dogpiled into submission.
Tumblr media
Bludgeon might need a hobby. Might I suggest jigsaw puzzles?
Orion’s about to hit the loop that was created by the first page of this issue, so he tries to stall for time to think of a way out of all this. He halfway succeeds, in that he gets a little more time, but doesn’t come up with anything. Down on the ground, all his friends watch the shuttle shoot into the sky, probably wondering what all that’s about.
Bludgeon was aiming for this shuttle to hit a populated area, but it would appear that he’s an idiot and overshot by a wide margin. Cool beans.
Ah wait, we still have another three pages of story to this.
Hey, y’all remember Hoist’s tragic backstory, where he wandered the Rust Spot alone until he almost died of exhaustion?
Yeah, that was Orion’s fault.
The Fault of Our Star, if you will.
(I’ve never read anything written by John Green, what the hell am I doing?)
Tumblr media
Because he just bounced off the underside of Hoist’s shuttlecraft, Orion’s hurtling towards the downtown section of Iacon, which is absolutely a populated area and exactly what Bludgeon was going for. Orion’s going to have to think fast if he’s going to get out of this one. Good thing Rack and Ruin told him their super secret transformation technique.
Thinking quickly, Orion transforms into a truck, breaks his bonds, somehow manages to not fly off the side of the shuttle due to wind pressure, transforms back to root mode, shuts off the autopilot, slams into a wide open field just outside of town, and survives well enough to be more concerned about Wheeljack being mad he scuffed up his new body than his own safety. Good on you, Orion! You saved the day!
To celebrate, he takes an old hubcap or something and shoves it over his face, because I guess only he gets to know how he’s feeling.
Tumblr media
Don’t look at me like that, it’s not my fault the story just kind of ends here.

Most web sites contain product descriptions, however the descriptions might be both too normal or too detailed, making it difficult to match two or extra merchandise on their options.

There's something lost in not having an knowledgeable particular person accessible to provide an immediate answer. Many widespread on-line buying websites now provide buyer reviews-independent critiques supplied by clients that have purchased each product. These reviews go a long way toward offering enough detailed details about a product so one can decide whether or to not purchase it.

5 things to take advantage of in your first year at Smith
First-year orientation at Smith can be a bit overwhelming as you get ushered from one info-session to the next, learning about all of the centers, organizations, and resources we offer to support your learning on campus. Honestly, you’ll shake hands with so many professors and staff members and be inundated with so many hand-outs that everything will become a blur. In order to help you identify some crucial support systems that will enable you to navigate your first year with confidence, I am sharing my list of top 5 resources that I have most frequently benefited from during my time at Smith.  These resources stand out in my mind as ones I wish I had utilized more during my first year, so you’ll definitely want to remember these!
1. Lazarus Center for Career Development
I was daunted by the thought of just waltzing in to the Lazarus Center during my first year. I remember thinking, “but I just graduated from high-school and you already want me to think about my career prospects?! Can’t I just enjoy getting acclimated to college?" You may think that the Lazarus Center won’t be useful if you haven’t even figured out what your major is yet, but that’s not true. The Lazarus Center offers many workshops specifically catered for first year students to introduce you to the general services you may need for future professional development, such as writing your first cover-letter and rĂ©sumĂ©, setting up a LinkedIn profile, using job/internship search databases, and how to network with Smith alumni. I benefited from 1-on-1 appointments with staff counselors and student peer advisers who helped me craft and format rĂ©sumĂ©s I wrote for scholarship applications and summer jobs. The Lazarus Center also helped me connect with alumnae in Belgium whom I met while studying in Brussels during the summer after my first year (a little more on that later!)
2. Jacobson Center for Writing, Teaching and Learning
During your first year, you are required to take a writing-intensive course. Mine was a First-Year Seminar called Re-Membering Marie Antoinette, which required graded writing exercises every week. Even with the support of a student TA and feedback from my professor, I found it helpful to meet with the knowledgeable staff in the Jacobson Center, who can help you anywhere along the path of your writing process--from brainstorms and outlines to a “polish” on your final draft. You can book appointments with available staff through an online portal.  Furthermore, the staff provide support for skills like organization and time-management, combatting procrastination, and public speaking. And, let’s face it, regardless of your major, the majority of the research and work you produce at Smith will culminate in a written component, so it’s a great resource to take advantage of all 4 years here!
3. Office for International Study
Okay, so if you are an international student this office is already one of your top foundations of support. But regardless of who you are and where you come from, the Office for International Study is a great place to reach out if you are thinking about studying abroad! Before I even came to Smith, I dreamed of studying abroad, so I wanted to learn more about the options Smith has to offer. The OIS has a “library” where you can learn about the nearly 100 Smith-hosted or Smith-approved Junior Year Abroad programs, and you can read evaluations from past students’ experiences. Since I was part of the last group of Global STRIDE scholars (you can read more about that in my bio), I had the opportunity to go abroad the summer after my first-year. When I was initially searching for programs that satisfied my interests, I met with peer study-abroad counselors who provided recommendations of where to start researching, how to find housing, etc. Additionally, I applied for an International Experience Grant to help partially fund my studies, so the staff in the OIS helped walk me through the application process. When one of the study-abroad programs that I applied for was abruptly cancelled in April, I was frantically scrambling to find an alternative option. The staff in OIS ultimately helped me secure an awesome experience in Brussels, Belgium, where I got to live in a homestay, take French language courses, and attend an intensive dance training program!
4. Professors’ Office Hours
GO. TO. YOUR. PROFESSORS. OFFICE. HOURS. Seriously. If I could go back in time and do it all again, within my first week I would have gone to the office hours of every professor whose course I was enrolled in during my first semester, even if just to introduce myself. Especially if you are taking any lecture-style courses your first semester (and you might be because most introductory-level courses tend to be the largest in size), going to office hours and being in a smaller environment with your professor is a sure-fire way to help establish important mentor-ships and make connections with a potential major advisers. I can easily say that now I regularly meet with my professors and advisers during office hours at least once every other week. The better your professor knows you, the easier it will be for them to write you solid letters of recommendations for programs, jobs/internships, graduate studies, etc, that you may need later on in your life. Also, professors open research positions to their students when possible, so having those close connections can help you foster really unique opportunities!
5. The Librarians
At Smith, we have librarians who specialize in various academic disciplines in order to best assist you in your research. Please, schedule appointments with them!! They have an intimate knowledge of what’s available in the library catalog, so they can point you to sources that you didn’t even know existed. I love to talk about Marlene Wong, the dance librarian. When I was writing a Dance History paper on modern dance and it’s role in left-wing socialist/communist labor movements in U.S., I met with her and she showed up to our meeting with a legit binder filled with print-outs of resources she had located for me. She was also able to show me primary sources in the Josten Library Rare Book Room that I would never have thought to use!
I feel like I have only hit the tip of the iceberg on the amount of resources available to students at Smith. I hope you’ll find the time to discover these and more throughout your time here!

IN SHELTER OBSERVATIONS:: 6/25/2018 Update: Aspen remains social when interacting with handlers. He readily approaches to greet with a soft and loose body.

Place with a New Hope partner: Due to Aspen's behavior of growling and snapping at new people who reach to touch him, and having growled at a person he knew who was petting him, the behavior department recommends he be placed with a New Hope placement partner who is able to provide an experienced adult-only foster home. A period of decompression is recommended to allow Aspen to acclimate comfortably to his new environment; force-free, reward based training only is advised when introducing Aspen to new and unfamiliar situations.

Force-free, reward based training only is recommended. Fearful/potential for defensive aggression: Aspen has been reported to bark, growl, and sometimes snap when new people have pet him or moved too quickly towards him.

On-leash reactivity/barrier frustration: Aspen has been observed to react to other dogs and things passing by while he is on leash, lunging towards them, barking and growling.

Choosing the right tuition in Singapore
Educational cost in Singapore is a billion-dollar industry, with guardians spending up to a large number of dollars at educational cost communities or private mentors every month. These after-school meetings are intended to help Singaporean students support their evaluations, so they can stay aware of their companions and get into top-level schools.
Various coaches e.g. math tutor Singapore have their particular manners and procedures to teach their students. Guides have been embracing different systems to allow students to have a superior comprehension of the ideas of different subjects. A few models incorporate mind maps, utilizing viewable signals, and narrating.

There's nothing more regrettable than the sinking feeling in your kid's stomach when they open a test paper and acknowledge they've been contemplating some unacceptable material the entire time. That is the reason focused on training is in every case in a way that is better than attempting to cover an assortment of subjects. As a parent, you ought to acclimate yourself with the current prospectus and liaise with your kid's numerical educational cost educators to choose appropriate tuition in Singapore that will strengthen their class learning and spotlight on the correct subjects.
Post for Ones with Detailed Explanations
We've all gazed to and fro between an issue and the appropriate response control at the rear of an evaluation book previously, and it's continually baffling when an answer is given with no unique situation. While choosing physics tuition Singapore, make a point to check on the off chance that they give bit by bit clarifications to issues. This is a critical piece of their learning cycle. As opposed to compelling them to just retain answers, they permit them to cross-check their work and extend their self-learning capacities by offering further bits of knowledge on troublesome ideas.
Quality over Quantity
It may amaze you to discover that most students, essential students, specifically, will in general just complete a normal of 60% of every evaluation book they have. As indicated by research discoveries, most students in Singapore are now battling to locate the ideal harmony between school, educational cost, co-curricular exercises and any additional interests. That implies they don't have the opportunity to finish various numerical appraisal books, and guardians ought to rather zero in on quality over amount.
Also, purchasing more evaluation books than needed has been demonstrated to ultimately counter their viability in a kid's learning cycle. Instead of advancing dynamic picking up, attempting to finish too many can prompt thoughtless amendment and an absence of profound applied agreement.
Beginning
Regardless of whether your kid is normally skilled in math or needs some additional assistance with making a solid establishment, distinguishing the correct evaluation books to supplement their educational program can be troublesome particularly for unseasoned parents. If you feel overpowered, it's consistently a good thought to look for help from an expert. Counsel a mathematical educational cost instructor to distinguish the best evaluation books that will suit your kid's learning style.

How My Recruiter Botched Everything
This recruiter - whew. Where do I begin? From the start I was uneasy about this guy. So uneasy that, even though his agency was the first one I applied to and they got back to me within a day, after I had my phone interview with him I immediately went back online and applied to 10 other agencies. He rubbed me the wrong way, just straight up didn’t like him. He came off as a person trying to sell me something, and of course that always makes one feel uncomfortable. I honestly didn’t expect to accept any of his offers because even after telling him I wanted to work in Seoul - and ONLY Seoul - his first job offer to me was in the suburbs outside the city, which he explained was no big deal because it was an “easy” 30 minute ride into Seoul. I mean, that may be true; Korean public transportation is great. But still. It’s not Seoul. After work, if I want to get to the city, I have to take a train to first get to the city, and account for the train ride home and just - it’s not the same as now, when I get off work and want to go to Itaewon and it’s just 10 minutes away. Anyway, I didn’t feel like this guy really listened to me (and there were other issues besides), so I full on pushed his agency out of my mind.
Well. He set up two interviews for me with schools in Seoul, and so I gave them a shot. Both schools offered me contracts. I held out a little before accepting, seeing if any other jobs came through, but there’s a bit of pressure to accept a contract once it’s offered, or deny it, in a timely manner. Obviously. You can’t leave the school hanging around forever wondering if you’ll accept. I did a few more interviews but they didn’t pan out (honestly I think I gave the worst interviews of my life), and then this recruiter emails me asking if I was going to accept one of the offers. I turned down one of them straight away - the school had a bad reputation with other foreign teachers in the past, so even though he tried to reassure me they’d changed, I just didn’t want to go for it. It didn’t sit right with me. So, he asks about the first offer. I told him I wasn’t sure because I couldn’t find any information about it when I tried to search it, so I didn’t have a whole lot of information to base my decision off of, and I think it’s a pretty damn big decision to make.
Fast forward a bit, he contacts the school about my concerns, they give me the email of their current foreign teacher, and I’m able to ask him questions about the school and how it’s run and etc.. The current foreign teacher (who I have a separate bone to pick with; this guy) tells me he likes the school, it’s great, he recommends it - I accept the job offer. I sign the contract. I believe in the school and the foreign teacher I spoke with, so it’s all done.
My recruiter starts telling me about the things my school will help me with: paying my apartment’s rent, paying for my plane ticket, helping me get a bank account, helping me set up a phone service, and basically assist me with completely adjusting to this new beginning I have undertaken.
Except he never actually told the school about any of that. Not a thing. The school thought they were getting a teacher already acclimated to Seoul living, and that they didn’t really need to help me. For them, they had two responsibilities: pay my monthly rent and pay my plane ticket. I found all this out this morning when the CEO and his son accompanied me to the immigration office so I could apply for my Korean I.D. card (which is needed for a bank account, phone plan, etc.). And they’re looking lost - as lost as me and I’m not even a Korean native. So, I get thinking: “Didn’t they do all this for the previous teacher? Haven’t they done it before? Why does this seem new to them? Aren’t they supposed to know this stuff?!”
I begin to get frustrated; I’m a short-tempered person who knows not patience or control, so the cartoon fumes are seconds away from boiling out my ears. After we finish at the immigration office and get back in the car, I ask the CEO’s son if they did all this for the prior teacher. “No,” he says. “He was already living in Korea, and we didn’t need to.” Still. I’m thinking, how have they not done it at least once before? Well, I think it’s obvious on my face I’m upset - I don’t hide my anger well. So, a conversation begins about what I was told the school was going to assist me with, and what the school thought their obligations were. And then - voila! - it comes out that they were never told about any of the extra responsibilities.
The way the recruiting office works is there’s a Korean office - who dealt with the school - and the American office - who I dealt with; the American office (which my recruiter belongs to) did not take the time to pass on any information to the Korean office, it appears. So, in turn, it did not get to my school.

.To be cont. It’s 12:39am already, and I have work.
Back again.
Okay, so to sum it up: my recruiter told me the school was going to assist me with a lot of things, and the school was never told/had no idea.
Yesterday, after the conversation with the CEO and the revelations that graced both sides, I tried to get in contact with my recruiter, but his number is an American number, and the phone in the school’s office wouldn’t connect international. I guess the CEO was really intent on connecting this call - and I don’t blame him - because about two hours later he reaches my recruiter on his cell phone, interrupts me during a class, and passes his phone to me. 
Oh boy. The ensuing conversation is the stuff of legend. The kind of asinine nonsense you can’t make up. 
I open with a nice explanation on the situation: hey, bro, dude, guy-that-was-supposed-to-help-me - my school was somehow never informed about the list of things you told me they’d help me with, and we ran into a huge pile of problems and frustrations today down at the immigration office. Then we further worked through the issues over some coffee at a cafe, and I missed the first 4 hours of my work shift. :D Wherefore this is the case?
Okay, so his response as to why my school hadn’t been informed yet/why this confusion arose: “Oh, you know what? You probably just talked to them about it before we could.” 
Oh, wait wait wait wait.... wait. So. I signed the school’s contract in March. I worked with you for the next 4 weeks on planning my arrival; I compiled a stack of paperwork and sent it to the Seoul office for my Visa application. Even if my arrival hadn’t been delayed, and I showed up at the end of April as originally planned, there was still a 3-4 week period in which you and the U.S. office could’ve rung up the Korean office and said, “By the waaay~ (insert mini music note) We promised this new teacher some things, make sure the school knows about it.” And yet somehow, that didn’t happen. To make matters even better: my arrival WAS delayed (see my post about the airport debacle where I mention I lost my passport), which ended up giving you another 2 weeks to communicate with the Korean office and my school, and you still didn’t. Somehow, my speaking with them about these things a week after my arrival - a week into my new job in a new country - is the first they’re hearing about it. Somehow I reached them first. I beat you to the punch.
Somehow.
Well that’s good to know. I mean, we wouldn’t want to be prepared or anything. hur hur We’ll just wing it; see how it all turns out.
Okay. I say this, though with decidedly more diplomatic grace. (How? I don’t know. I’m not a tactful person. But one of my students had wandered into the room and could hear the conversation. And even though he probably wouldn’t understand a single thing, I still felt bad swearing and getting angry in the presence of a kid, especially not a kid that is mine. And, on a whim, I guess I felt the urge to try my hand at social decorum.) His response: “Yeah, well, this stuff is kind of standard, so we just expected they’d know. When we work with new schools, we go over these things, but this school was already established, even though it’s our first time working with them. So, we thought they’d know.”
Oh good. So, you just said that with new schools you like to make sure they know what’s-what and then in the same breath also admitted it was your first time working with the school. Even if the school was in operations for 100 years, and had experience with foreign teachers, it’s your recruiting agency’s first time working with this school, and you did not verify what they did and did not know before sending some stupid, bumbling American halfway across the globe to work for them - and you also told that stupid, bumbling American a whole bunch of comforting things that were not true, that you never verified, and that you never communicated with the school. Excellent. Professionalism at its peak.
(The bitter, resentful sarcasm is coming out in full force; yikes.)
I even straight asked him: “So, it’s your first time working with this school, though?”
“Yeah.”
“But you didn’t go over any of this with them?”
“Well, no. Obviously, from this, now we know they need to be told. So, next time this won’t happen. But yeah.”
You know, I sure as hell hope so. This shouldn’t have happened in the first place; any self-respecting agency that has years of experience doing this kind of work should’ve handle the situation, not been lazy, not glossed over things, not dropped the ball, not lied, and so on. I think the point is made. But seriously - if this happens again? That’d be tragic. Just straight Shakespearean tragedy. 
The CEO asked me for a list of the things the recruiter promised me, and I told his son I’d comb through my emails and copy and paste everything into one, large email and send it to him. He’s going to translate and send to his dad - the CEO - who is then going to file a nice, angry complaint with the Korean office about this recruiter. 
:D
The recruiting agency is AskNow. (asknow.ca) And my recruiter was Brant Kim. Take my post for what you will; everyone makes mistakes, and everyone deserves a second chance. But use this as a guide when trying to pick out the right agency for you; some agents are only out to make money, and they act as the middle man between you and your employer, so it’s their job to communicate well between the two sides. If they don’t, it can cause a lot of frustration and problems, and even create bad-blood between you and your employer. Luckily, I’m honest and forthcoming and I wasn’t too scared to bring these things up with my CEO and open a dialogue about it. But I know not everyone is as loud as me; quiet people, polite people, anxious people may not feel confident enough expressing their concerns, so situations that start off bad only get worse. This is just something to take note of when using this agency. If you can’t directly contact the school to make sure everything the recruiter promised actually reached them, keep the emails in case you also need to show proof and write up a large complaint.

[SF] Matilda and the Siren
[ XVII ]
Having been lost in a veil of sadness, Matilda would find herself picking up the thousands of shards of broken pieces from her heart each morning. Reminding herself that she were needed somewhere on a future battlefield as an Indigenous Warrior. She closed her Golden Fleece for a short time and gave herself the room to stretch her legs: for they often cramped and resembled the ones she gained whenever she visited the Argonauts near the Black Sea. Matilda returned to her usual fighting and training regimen and she felt a bit silly running so intensively when there wasn’t any actual danger present at the moment. Running outside was one of Matilda’s favorite activities, since she had grown up doing so through the vast Redwood trees that are now protected along a Crescent. Matilda had bet herself that she could run the furthest of any man as a child: giving up soon after watching her favorite runner, notorious for his last name: Gump. It was with this character that she fell in love with the arts and all the joy that it brings, transcending across languages and oceans: Matilda would grow to enjoy her mediocrity in the paid hobby of finding ways to immortalize herself by blending into the background.
Animosity was a large portion of the job, as they directed only Matilda to put on her Traditional jewelry, braided or straightened her hair to see fit for for their scenery as they often loved to use her as a living prop. Matilda grew into the habit of self-descriptions filled with rancor of self-loathing, as the facts stood all around her for ten years. In her teen years she had suffered from a mild curse that caused her to gag each time she looked at herself. This would be the doing primarily of Hera and her vexing(s), but Matilda was able to ward it off with the aid of her two best friends Krista and Jolene as they loved her without judgment, proud she overcame the sickness with time. It was this calling for applause that lead to the events in which she had finally left the Redwoods and met the Kind Hearted Hunters. These two parental units had been so prominent for their songs asking to “Find Another Fool”: they too had a connection to the same social circles of the man known as King Midas. Matilda loved music in a way she could only describe to the Kind Hearted Hunters in a way where she knew she needn't feel silly in describing her tears describing her heartbreak. The Kind Hearted Hunters understood as they had been married since young adolescence and had survived in the trenches during the of a hardest times in their modern music history. The only issue being that the famous due had never been separated: Matilda would be left solo with her heartbreak having never disclosed her attachment and responsibility she felt when being tethered to the Viking. She continued to shine on stage with the Kind Hearted Hunters at her side, and Matilda knew that they had found one another before in a past life. Matilda had surrendered any ambitions to outshine the vocals of the Kind Hearted Hunters, and she loved just being a part of their legacy by association. Their prominence were not of her own achievements to claim. The Hunters had met as teens and wed at the now famed mountains that would later serve location to the birth of Matilda. Their worldwide fame and hype had predated the arrival of her birth, and were nothing more than fabricated mythos to the small broken one they adorned with hugs and called “kiddo”. Matilda stayed steady to the path as she attended the University where she had met the Viking. Heartbreak and the lead to the random day in which Matilda used their family mid-day meal to find the words to break confident word to the gentle couple that she admired so dearly: her plans of retiring from a career of singing and smiling in the background.
She were what the Argonauts kept calling “wee, cute and or cheeky” on the occasion, but overall: Matilda understood that she were pleasant to look at, as though she could be seen as as someone's neighbor (whatever that means
. on the fake scale of aesthetics that people had tended to go by). She didn’t find her own looks as exciting as others evidently, but still managed to find it amusing when the dead-eyed savages openly commented on her appearance: not knowing they were unequivocally yelling at a royal family member within their own chambers stating that they personally felt acclimated to her and that they appreciated her ability to clarify why Matilda had woke up and decided to appear so ambiguous. On the other side of the spectrum: she had been told she bore resemblance to papa on occasion, as he was in fact the respected older brother to her biological grandfather. Matilda often used their similarities to her advantage: holding silly expression with her hands and a furrowed brow to mirror his: standing a fearless six year old behind him, putting on a skit as he continued lecturing: wielding his all mighty power. She enjoyed breaking out in boisterous laughter if only to see if her papa approved of her oddly dry humor as he lowered whatever he was reading suggesting interest. She had grown up being noted for her quick wit and strict charm because her papa had encouraged her to invest in the culture surrounding her interests of the Questionable Queen that stood married to her own blood near the North Sea. Despite having never visited the area, Matilda often held impressions of accent foreign to her own lands when playing with her stuffed toys as a child. Her papa would eventually compliment her natural ability to perform in front of crowds without informing Matilda that it were rare to be able to stand front and center with an unconfused confidence from those who stood withered in the background.
Matilda prided herself on her efforts for sincerity, no matter how the much the cost of her opinions were: and it had left her single and alone after years of unending battles with the dead-eyed savages and beast alike. It would be this skill of sense of self and place that would provide Matilda with a sharp eye and heightened sense for the falsehoods of her simulated surrounding terrains. One day when consulting the Golden Fleece she noted a woman who held a peculiar stature, and noted instantly that she were a Siren. Matilda had only known of one other Siren that lived in the open: the one who would later be imprisoned despite her belonged overrated fame of having a house with maximum capacity sitting lopsided on an overpriced hill. Matilda had known the Sirens appearance as her papa had pointed out her features as a youth when he noted that she were sketchy in demeanor as her eyes flitted aboot and her body slender and birdlike. Matilda had forgotten about the famed monster disguised as a friendly and wise aunt until seeing the second Siren later on. This Siren was odd in movement as she held her shoulders like vulture and her arms heavy as she methodically reminded herself to sway them at her sides instead of trying to fly away. The Siren was mesmerizing to older men is specific, as they fell enchanted by her gaze. The dangers of age being taught through politics. The men lined up on the famed avenue and threw their riches at her feet if only to earn the right to know the Siren and sit quietly and in the background.
It fascinated Matilda to no end-- knowing what the Siren had done for over a decade, as she also realized she had once been in front of her now famed quarters unknowingly in the past. It wouldn’t be until Matilda saw the Siren wore a mask with a beak and a famed black cloth that indicated the end were near. Matilda gazed at her in admiration for ability to lie through her clenched teeth, as she had achieved all financial assistance that Matilda could not. She had made fortunes untold as though they were conjured from thin air, and as she did so would charge the bystanders to view her magic tricks. Matilda had seen her circular house crest before: which were distributed across the land, green with the envy of all those who knew hard work and the reaping of an honest days work. Matilda noted the Siren seemed to expect a lot of donations from her bipartisan counterparts in attendance, but saw now foul play as she observed with amusement: the Siren who seemed to have fluffed her feathers out even further than she had before. It were still rude and immature for Matilda to laugh at the expense of the Siren and her eccentric ways, as she still found it extra that the monster thought it discrete to hide behind the famed black cloth. It were one of the most famed pieces of cloth known to man and it’s unbridled expectations of power to held to that only found on Olympus. It would be this cloth that Matilda remembered her papa: for he had once pointed at the cloth and bestowed her with a Indigenous Warrior secret. He asked her is she had remembered the tall man who had worn the famed black cloth, and she responded with complete honesty that she had known him for his vast wealth but was unsure of his occupation. Despite that being his name. Matilda assumed he appreciated her wholesome nine-year old answer because he smiled and decided she were his first in command because of it. He walked her through the Redwoods in the summer, as he would informed her how that the man would help her defeat a Boar. Once safe in the forest he called him Hephaestus as though they were old combat friends: Matilda knew there had to be some sort of catch as if she were being initiated into the “boys club” at such a young age. She loved her papa, but she also knew better because her papa had also been known for being an asshole: Matilda cast her papa a seething glare and he fell wise as he conceded. He lamented a proposal in which she would be able to change her curse of bad luck and offered her vast fame and riches. He had foregone her opinion and offered her calculative services to Hephaestus to do with as he pleased. He informed her that she had been hand-selected by Hephaestus to hold, protect and battle with a heavy pearl encrusted shield. He informed them that it were to be hidden beneath a common fleece that Matilda used, as there would be others that easily disguised hers in the masses of consumers. The only thing that differentiated the shield Matilda and the other shields that were lined with gold and silicone, is that it was somehow pertinent to the operations of all of his other heavenly inventions. Matilda held no fruition on what that meant at the time, but she remembered thinking that didn’t sound like a very efficient machine if it relied on the “lack-of” human error to be the unit of measurement in which all of the other shields processed their magic from as a central power-source. She would later study the field not knowing that her intrigue on the matter had been sparked by her participation in this promise that she had kept with her second father. She knew despite being a child that somehow that this were her chance to show the famed military leader her exceptionalism once and for all and that the world would have to follow suit. She agreed over eagerly to a dangerous mission undefined and unknown: believing with every fiber of her being that she were mighty enough to earn her title as captain at his behest. She danced about him as he walked slowly and grumpily through the towering forest pointing at every little thing that caught her short attention span, and returned to being a child having forgotten the whole conversation for many moons following. It was after that day that her papa would urge her to finally start breaking her shell: he had known Matilda was true in her bountiful honesty and still a passion for the performing arts. He nudged her try for any leadership position, as they had both noticed the dead-eyed savages would hid her and soft singing voice behind their own children. He encouraged her to hold her voice strong and the words of their ancestors helped calm her tongue as she mastered the language and song of the dead-eyed savages. It would seem that the old and weathered Indigenous Warrior had gained wind by watching his youngest learn their ways as she boasted of her inability to assimilate in spirit. He had once perfected her battle-cry in the forest as forced her train her chords the notes that ring fear in beasts and monsters alike. He did not judge her as her voice cracked and broke, but continued to higher her chin until she held the posture fit for her title. Her voice became strong as the winds whisked the soil into the airs, and her ancestors strength and might filled her body with the air that had waited for her for hundreds of years. Her growls and yells informed the world that she were ready for battle, and that she were officially done being told by the world to stand aside quietly and simply watch the chaos in the background.
Matilda hadn’t thought about those days in the last decade, as she often told herself it were a story undocumented and therefore lacked proof. She missed her papa and his strategic parenting, whenever she were left with more questions than answers. Upon viewing the Siren in the green crest and the reemergence of another who had decided to reprise her role deceiving the world as a just beloved auntie as she hid in plain sight. They had procured vast wealth that Matilda could never even begin to fathom: from all those who felt lucky and invested in their occupation. Matilda prodded and poked at the old men who called themselves investors in the future, and it bewildered her to end how large the Siren built a massive nest that had been funded on these unreliable fronts.
Matilda traveled to her offices that bore the infamous blue crest of hope and it was here that she remembered the location of the nest where the Siren hid. Matilda had observed the birdlike woman long enough to know her charms were cast with her voice which derailed the attention of whoever heard it. Matilda looked around the nest and saw no device that may compare to the creations of Hephaestus and so she did what she did best: she decided it were time to break some shit. The nest was empty and abandoned despite it being needed to save lives: that merit alone meant it were considered a waste. She set down her Golden Fleece on a tall counter and pulled from her travel bag her two favorite weapons: her two magic wands made of silver and gold. Matilda held her head high if only to prove that the day had come in which the world would begin to rue that nonspecific day that they had abandoned her in Hades. She danced in the halls of glass nest hearing music that only she could feel, and hysterically laughed how pleased she were to have found a job that allowed her utilize the demolition skills her dad had once admired on accident. She knew she looked like a madman dancing aboot with her fits of rage and laughter, but she also knew that this was the only way to inform the Siren that she were in the hypothetical hood. Matilda returned to her thuggish ways of breaking anything and everything in sight, and delighted in hearing the small vials of blood break as they hit the glass nest floor with soft tink. She heard a soft voice clear its throat, and as she turned around she were facing a handsome young man. He stood in doorway holding his warm bean juice and adjusting a bandage that wrapped around his head. He seemed unfazed by the mass destruction as he observed her in his lab coat looking nothing less than charmed by Matilda and her catastrophic rage. He stood there silently for an unknowing amount of time watching as this strange naked, petite woman had managed to infiltrate such a secure glass nest undetected. Matilda found it wise that he had not interrupted or contested her: He seemed to understand that she were on a mission for justice and that her half-blood status made her a force of reckoning alone: as she continued to rampage as an organically made human-tornado in the background.
Matilda turned over her shoulder to see the slender young man smiling at her and she let her weapons fall at her side as he stood moderately amused, and not in the slightest bit concerned as he drank his hot magic brown beverage. He seemed so happy that she had destroyed his property
. and that made Matilda stand at ease a bit, but still sheepishly since that wasn’t even her best work yet (destruction-wise). She wasn’t used to dead-eyed savages waiting for her to speak first, even though she were still a lady, and above that
.despite the fact she were royalty to the land. She took advantage of his politeness: pushing back her crazed hair to the side, pretending to be tidy for a second, and walked steadily towards the man: ready to shake his hand in turn for his generosity in letting her finish the scene in which she threw tantrum. As Matilda shook his hand she noted that her grip was stronger and more firm than his, but decidedly continued to shake his hand with respect: if only to give him the opportunity to practice and show her that he were taller. He looked down at her hand and as he made eye-contact as she noted he was a dead-eyed savage, but surprisingly he seemed true in his words and assured of his own existence. Matilda could tell that his father or grandfather had honestly never called him “Sir” with respect and so his handshake was weakened without their necessary blessings and teachings. Matilda cared not of his status, handshake, or fortune as they talked and walked in circles around the empty glass nest made of shards. She found him refreshing and noble in his many, many grievances, as he began to express his engineering woes to the Indigenous Warrior. He were thrilled to have company in his corridors who just conveniently happened to be a scientist, and it became clear that the two had coincidentally met with the same intentions of warding off the Siren. The astute man stood candid and concerned as he smiled, as he were free of the Siren and her curses, now wishing to set right all those who had lost blood and fortune to the callings of the bewitched Siren. He affirmed that he had ran out of ways to fix the famed invention now known as the Arc, as the Siren had already been paraded across the land met with the unabashed appraisal of the masses. The spell the famed box had achieved was categorized under spells that cast the illusion of wellness, and the spell had consumed all those who needed medical help the most. The Siren laughed at their physical, emotional and financial pain as she shrieked and cackled in weirdly misplaced octave, as she flitted frantically about with the white coat and mask she wore: despite the presence of the bubonic plague. The Siren had repeated her shallow vexed words filled with the riches of the much sought after false gold paint: even the crazed Boar would become jealous of the woman and her fame. She stared into the souls of the citizens without blinking as she chanted rants of immortality, boasting that she had the power that belonged to Zeus himself alone. Matilda took an analysis of the Arc this Siren had forced others to carry around for her. Matilda had only searching for answers having noticed the Siren in a captured event, as she notably took efforts to stand a golden staff lengths away from her peers and secluded from herself from those she called test subjects and servants. Upon completion of her observations she the man asked her opinion on why it were broken: she smiled stating that there were nothing to analyze or fix: since the machine technically didn’t exist. She laughed to herself as the young man silently smiled nearby: proud that he had finally thought to ask a scientist for the legitimate proof he needed that the sacred artifact and patent had indeed been a front.
Matilda observed the hidden schematics of the Arc and laughed at the parameters that had set by the Siren herself: prioritizing aesthetics and diverting from the reality of functionality. Matilda told the friendly engineer that it was impossible and wondered to herself aloud how it were disturbing that the Siren had conned the citizens to provide their own blood as sacrifice to the Arc, the dormant machine that now projected false hope. Plain and simple: it had became concerning to Matilda that the Siren had even managed to hold up such a large nest of glass lies without further injuring the general public. The young smiling engineer thanked her free services in checking his numbers and schematics, and found comfort in the blunt reports of her scientific findings that were given without bias. The young man had been exhausted from his wound that he kept reopening on his head each night. It had appeared that he had been cursed by the Siren to return to the glass building and forced to bang his head on the wall once every hour that he were trapped in his dreams each night. He smiled at her in a way that seemed familiar to Matilda and so she began to tell the man of her travels walking with purpose from battles in which nobody were armed and ready. Matilda told him to seek further ally with a fellow engineer who stood tall amongst cowards: she would come to his home bearing a light as an excuse. Matilda offered him solitude in plans for future relief and assistance as she informed him his aid would fall from the original woodwork of the massive glass nest: livid the Siren would intentionally diverted a parade of officials from the second lab that were deceitfully used to hide the the truth about the Arcs inactive status. Matilda handed him a silver wand and wrapped the second in a shred of the golden fleece. She said the warmth of the wand would bring him the courage to stand tall, smile and speak the truth in the way that Matilda had been taught by the Kind Hearted Hunters. He told her of his lost friend and watched as her face fell in horror as he ended his story in the Siren forcing her deemed servant to commit suicide: if only to protect her nest of lies from the swinging pendulum of justice that now fell closer. This enraged Matilda: for she suffered from the curse of Hades herself and had never heard the story of the brave man who refused to lie. With this knowledge the engineer finally dropped his smile and lowered his head in shame: knowing now that he had only been cursed to seek justice for his coworker, and that his dream had manifested each night because of it. He said he were fatigued from fighting alone against all of and those vexed by the distinguishable voice and that had stolen their fortunes, only to watch as the cursed dumped their riches and golds of kings into an crumbling glass nest. Matilda could tell that a it were time to prepare her shield up in arms as she began to wander off to the battle, with her royal amour ready to fight for a noble cause. She stood staring out from within the castle: labeled with its green shield of defiant corruption that held monument to the Siren and her failure in its front.
Matilda asked the engineer why he had not told the general public of the crimes being committed by the Siren and he had mentioned that he felt intimidated having seen how they praised the other Siren. When she asked for clarification: he stated that there had been one other...famed for having arrived from Albania before his birth. As Matilda endlessly scanned her thoughts for answers she remembered the face of the beast, as the Siren held a last name that reminded her of shrieking. Evidently it never dawned on her to remember that Sirens were not of any single gender or sex. She giggled as the engineer kept pointing out the Elf-ish like mans frail and sullen features, and she felt silly for having overlooked such defined attributes. The vapid Siren had already been captured and hung from a tree, and the people had rejoiced to see such justice prevail. The engineer had informed Matilda that the glass nest was being under constant surveillance during the day, by a man who bore no light and followed the Siren wherever she went. Matilda questioned the legality of stroking the keys of all those who played the music of the Siren, and saw fit to destroy the darkness that were seemingly non-threatening and bias. She followed the stout shadow during the day and pricked him with infatuation for the Siren: taken from an arrow of Cupid that she had once touched herself by accident. She would report to the engineer each night asking for details about the man who lacked sunlight. They laughed with one another and enjoyed their time together utilizing the nights meant to sleep: to pull thread at all those events that transpired during the day whilst they were forced to live in obscurity in the background.
Matilda and the engineer finally had constructed a plan that managed to trick the sun-less shadow into the glass nest one evening, simply by leaving it a row of crumbs to follow. The stout man followed the crumbs and picking them up to gift to his beloved Siren later, and thought not to the dubious nature in which they lead him to his own laboratory. Matilda told the engineer that actually felt sorry for the sun-less shadow, for she herself had been a fool after touching the arrow once before, and unending guilt and shame for loving the Viking. The engineer avoided looking at her, as she spoke, and as he did so: she remember she were naked. She told the kind man of her curses being tethered to the Viking despite how little he thought of her. The engineer finally had grown angry by her continual enamor and growing excuses on behalf of the Viking and he politely decided it were time to interject. He told her that he valued her ability to see men for all that they are, and her intuition in the future, but suggested she spoke less highly of the Viking. She turned away in shame and asked what he meant, and the engineer informed her that he had observed the Viking as he grew bitter with her for leaving and began to speak ill of her for having been cursed with the darkness of Hades. Matilda objected to this statement immediately: until she realized it were true and began weeping in embarrassment. The engineer saw her as she finally fell silent and ashamed the man she had once wished to wed, and made light by noting at least she hadn’t forced herself to bare the son had told her he wanted. The man finally smiled once more as he knew they were respected allies, and informed her she could do much better than that offered by an aged Viking. Matilda held her knees close as she cried from the embarrassment of denial and tiredness of her naked body being cold all the time. The engineer asked to hold the girl as she cried, and she said she felt unsafe as she were always naked: evidently the Viking had tethered an invisible rope to her without her knowledge or approval. The helpful engineer stood up and left for a moment, only to return holding a black cloth that belonged to the Siren. He gave her the oversized shirt to wear and they soon discovered the cloth held powers as the rope that only the engineer could see: moved upwards over the black material with little to no effort. The shirt fell down her body like an elegant dress and finally gave the woman the warmth she had unknowingly longed for each day. Matilda and the engineer shimmied the rope that were stuck on her endlessly, until it were cinched softly around only her neck that remained protected by the cloth. Matilda asked the engineer to cut the rope that had given her the false hopes to be loved by the viking, and saw that for some reason he were hesitant. Matilda told him she no longer wished to pine after a man who would never love her, and stated it had been childish for believing in his potential in the first place. Matilda cried silent tears explaining that she were tired of being the butt of every joke, and she felt she probably deserved whatever awful things the Viking had already said without her present. Matilda knew her heart was too weak to continue and feel all her failures, and knew believed that cutting the tether were the right thing to do since the Viking had already made his bed. The kind engineer told her that he were truly sorry, and when Matilda went to interrupt him with passivity and excuse for the Viking and his ignorant ways: he fell serious and stern as he raised his soft voice. He stated that it was absolutely unacceptable how the Viking had spoke so ill of Matilda despite her absence, and that as a man himself: he couldn’t excuse the materials the Viking had discussed with the general public on behalf of a woman that he had no intentions of making his wife. Matilda hated being embarrassed since everyone had often called her the village whore already behind her back, and knew her nakedness were meant to humble her from her consumer and addictive ways. It gave no way for Matilda to find further reasons to look up at the Viking, and so she avoiding looking at all dead-eyed savages assuming her long lost husband had preemptively degraded her publicly. After all: the Viking was still a dead-eyed savage, and evidently was inclusive in dehumanizing those of “other” status to be his inferior. To this epiphany Matilda finally knew it were time to let the Viking go, as she couldn’t marry him now even if she had wanted to: he had corrupted his own honor using Matilda as a human-less shield for no reason other than to amplify his own aging ego. Matilda had already been raped soon after birth: all of her curses bestowed upon her at once by the Gods of Olympus at birth. They were puppeteers of her life and projected propaganda that she were born a village whore, and when she rejected the title the dead-eyed savages had their officers that hold law and order: hold their boots on tight on her back as they threw her face on concrete as she was flopped down like a chicken by her already weakened neck
.the Gods now saw fit as to gift Matilda with a curved spine and endless tears. Matilda knew that she was now teased by all those who looked down upon her as the retired whore, now transformed hag. Even worse nobody dared to stand near her: as she were cursed and pelted into shock or seizure as Hera continued to hail attacks from afar by way of the lighting of Zeus. It had all been for nothing. Matilda remembered she had actually came to the nest each night to prove her love of the Viking, forgetting that they had barely met. Matilda held up her rope of shame and distaste and begged the engineer to break the curse once more, and watched as he struggled to break the cord. Matilda suggested he break a cut from up and under the magic black cloth, as it made the rope soften whenever they touched. The engineer stated he’d have to cut off part of the collar that had once made the cloth famed worldwide, and to this Matilda giggled and simply said that she knew. She informed the engineer that the blouse were out of date and that the Siren had infected the cloth and all women in white coats with curses of self-doubt and self-loathing, as was seen by all those who watched the Siren at work representing women while in character presenting her best portrayal of what the Siren believed to be a human female. Privilege and self-righteousness had infected the people and their own blood was spilled by the five talons of the Siren, too lazy to check her data. Matilda informed him that his knowledge of her overall actions indicated the curse of constant surveillance found only in the East ruled by the Chimera: to that specification the cautious man simply nodded yes. She argued that she had done nothing wrong with the Viking outside of dreams and a hug, and realized her defensiveness was incriminating to say the least. He informed her that the Viking had selfishly tied the knot to Matilda: even though he was already voluntarily tethered to another. The aged Viking now unknowingly resided with a Siren that bore the crest of a Shell. A strange entity Matilda had never seen or met, only dealt with the encounters of her minion Siren who had been given the task of following Matilda around asking a million questions. This grew tiresome quick but held chaos enough for Matilda to finally leave the Viking, as Matilda had noted the Siren with the shell had ordered first hand that her minion leave her active post of employment to stalk her home with invasive questions. The engineer had stated that he watched as Matilda had lived her life as a pathetic uncrowned King. He admired that she paid no mind and utilized her body to be as a Trojan horse: blinding her subjects who had decidedly mocked her as being the village whore in all her naked glory as she were the most comfortable person in every room: free to be herself and smile with sincerity. The kind engineer felt pity towards her after he had watched Matilda humiliate herself at her own Courts one too many times, and explained he held no loyalty to the Viking and his striking blue eyes: weapons that often bewitched people. Matilda cried tears of shame mixed evenly with disappointment for a pairing she believed were an anomaly for the ages. She sentenced herself to seclusion while she ripped her hair out with despair until the man agreed to break her bonds to the Viking that Matilda had so proudly once loved. The man cut off the rim of the fashion forward neckline, as he finally freeing the lovesick woman from the chains of her true love. He held his breath as he finally cut the endless black material, holding his hand firm and steady as he assisted his friend by finally cutting the noose from around her neck. The magic cloth apparently wielded more power than that of the all consuming narcissistic characteristics of the Viking who had been known for implanting himself as black hole. The friends broke the band away as she stood taller than ever: Matilda was finally free, holding out the invisible knot out and away from herself, up and front.
After being freed from the Viking: Matilda knew once more: there would be no person on this planet that could match her might. She had forgotten who she were, as the cursed rope had betrothed her to seem allergic to all male figures that were not the Viking that held her engaged with his charm. She forgot how powerful she felt knowing each day was a new adventure, and on the occasion enabled and admired the daydreams of even a new kiss. Matilda still returned to the glass nest each night, if only to keep the poor man trapped company as he were captive to the Siren who still ran amok during the day scattering from here to there bragging aboot the Arc that she had built. One night Matilda arrived at the nest only to find the engineer without smile: for he had been tied to a large pole that stood center scaffolding the nest built only of glass shards. Matilda asked where he had put her silver wands urgently and the engineer had said the Siren had her shadow steal the wand she had gifted him after finding out he had lent it to an ally of justice who used it for bravery as he reported the fraud of the glass nest to a void where the outside floor met the wall. To this disarmament Matilda simply said “fuck” and cracked her neck from side to side for a last minute showdown: that she were exceedingly and entirely unprepared for. As she turned to scout her options of terrain she saw two figures standing behind her in the dark. It was both the siren and her shadow standing in the quiet, confused how the small random girl had stolen a black cloth and broken into the secure nest. Matilda didn’t have time for evil villain monologues or self-acclimation so she simply told her young engineer friend to close his eyes. She scanned the terrain as she ripped off a couple pieces of cloth and shoved them into his ears without giving him room to object. Matilda turned about face to conquer the beast: confident that her kind friend was safe from the Siren as he stood behind her strapped snug to a pole in the background.
Matilda had no time for this siren and her shit, as it had been such a tedious process for her to have earned her own white coat: a coat that would mean a lot to women all over the world. As the stark and angular woman eerily swept towards her to speak out her curses: Matilda held up her small hand and informed the Siren that she hadn’t the time to for her bullshit, and that her shrill baritone had no affect on her half-breed ears. The woman began to whisper to her shadow who stood behind her at all times, and to this plot Matilda finally lost it. She grabbed the birdlike woman by her straw hair and threw her down on the floor by her gawky neck: that perfected dead-eyed savage officer throw-down move finally perfected. The woman threw her limbs around tirelessly as she thrashed herself beneath Matilda's small foot. This was an embarrassment thought Matilda, and so she decided to put the bird to sleep by way of dropping elbow. She needn't argue with the lying beast who still shrieked and murmured chants frantically as her mask finally fell away. As the Siren held bulging eye contact: Matilda used her own ancient magic and locked eyes with the blue eyed monster and delivered the final blow on the Siren. Matilda growled at her enemy and inferior binding her to the future with magic chants repeating: stop lying Elizabeth...this nest is not a home...Matilda openly argued at nobody until the Siren finally fell asleep. The small shadow lunged from the darkness to defend his woman, his lover, and ring-leader, and Matilda laughed at the small man for she now realized what the Argonauts meant when they had called her “Wee”. She grabbed the tiny shadow by his trousers and watched as he were off-put by her schoolyard bullying, glaring as he noted she were having fun and not at all threatened. She pulled at the shadow as he now tried to flee, as Matilda had began to drag the man by his trousers across the floor. He fought for his trousers endlessly as he were ashamed to be naked evidently, and to this embarrassment Matilda took strategy. She found the inactive cord she had once freed herself from, and cut off a smaller portion to momentarily repurpose. She tied the man down, and finally wrestled him to her submission, tying the enchanted rope around his penis. She unrolled the chord until it were tied securely around the neck of the Siren, as Matilda encircled the rope to secure a gag in her mouth from a ripped magic black cloth that belonged to the Siren, and she dragged the odd pair across her own yard until she met the famed bay that Matilda had once accidentally set earthquake to. She strung them to the tallest bridge and painted it red to signify the blood that was sacrificed and spilled on behalf of the Siren. She still couldn't believed the public had once referred to the Siren as Helen of Troy: a compliment which had signified Matilda to observe the Siren in the first place out of curiosity. Matilda believed in justice and the pair were minor offenders to the other beasts Matilda had faced and ultimately destroyed. Matilda returned to the post to free her new friend, and they walked back to the ocean together merrily, as they were protected by the hand of justice and the engineer now his own man. A handshake and welcoming presence that he had now earned and engineered for himself. The man no longer stood coward in the shadow of the Siren, but moved with ease as he would go on to surpass her illusion of greatness. His silver weapon armed and ready, tucked away in a pocket that lay neatly on his chest. The man was now a hero to many: known for his words of compassion and truth, mostly for being the grandson that would stand the test of time. The engineer now stood unafraid and surrounded by like minds as they walked back to the bay as a growing army, and saw that as his grandfather proudly lead of the charge: he now knew that there is there is power in numbers. Their might would outmatch any army, as they had all once stood mistreated by the Siren in the background.

A Soft Landing in Sobriety
Not too long ago, getting into recovery was all about abstinence. However, addiction treatment professionals have realized that merging modern science with counseling and the tenets of traditional 12-step recovery can strengthen people’s ability to remain clean and sober. That’s why medication-assisted treatment (MAT) has taken off, quickly becoming a standard of care in addiction medicine, particularly when it comes to treating opioid use disorder.“The goal of every recovery program is to generate as many sober days as possible,” said Mark Shandrow, CEO of Asana Recovery, which offers detox, residential treatment and an outpatient program in Costa Mesa, California. “The goal of medication-assisted treatment is to stretch that timeline out, which gives the patient more time to acclimate to sobriety and normal life, and to gain the therapy that will ultimately provide the tools for long term sobriety.”While abstinence is wonderful, going from actively using drugs to being entirely sober can be overwhelming. Too often, people succumb to the physical and mental turmoil of withdrawal and end up leaving treatment to get their fix. MAT helps mitigate this risk. Using carefully-prescribed medications under the guidance of doctors who are knowledgeable about addiction, patients are able to manage their symptoms and cravings while learning to live a sober life.Although using medications to overcome addiction and dependency is controversial in some circles, it can be lifesaving for the people most at risk for relapse.“I see why many people believe that MAT is an easy way, and I would ask them if they learned to ride a bike without training wheels?” Shandrow said.The more time a person spends engaged with a treatment program, the more likely they are to maintain their sobriety.“Placing the individual on a MAT program helps to drop the cravings and acts as a deterrent to opioid use, which generally results in the patient spending more time in the treatment center and reduces their likelihood of leaving treatment to go use drugs,” he explained.Medications can be used at various points in the recovery process. During detox, medications can help manage the violent physical symptoms for people who are getting off of opioids or alcohol. Some people then turn to medications to help them get through treatment, or to stay sober in the long-term.At Asana, the most common medication used to facilitate treatment is Suboxone, which contains the opioid buprenorphine. Although it is an opioid, Suboxone can be safely used to manage opioid use disorder in the long-term, helping people stay away from more harmful illicit opioids. The drug has a doubled-edged approach to encouraging sobriety: people on Suboxone experience less intense cravings for opioids. And if they do use, they don’t get the euphoric high that they’re seeking.“If a patient attempts to get high while on Suboxone, they will not feel any of the ‘high,’” Shandrow said.Because of this, MAT is an especially important tool for people who have been in treatment before but who have relapsed or failed to achieve lasting sobriety.“Sometimes the MAT is the added tool they need to break the cycle,” Shandrow said.Using Suboxone can have other, unintended benefits. Many patients arrive at treatment needing dental work or other physical procedures for which they might be prescribed opioids, increasing their relapse risk. At Asana, providers work to schedule these procedures while the client is on a Suboxone regimen, because the medication is already providing pain relief.Although Suboxone and other medications for treatment can be used long-term, some clients want to be able to transition to an abstinence-based approach to recovery. The staff at Asana work with these individuals to develop a MAT plan that will give them benefits, while also advancing them toward that goal.“On several occasions we have set up a 30- or 60-day MAT program, which allowed the individual to taper off the MAT before moving to an outpatient program,” Shandrow explained. “This soft landing is extremely beneficial for individuals who have repeated attempts at treatment, but prefer not to go onto a long-term MAT program.”Just like counseling and other aspects of sobriety, MAT can be tailored to fit the unique needs of each client that Asana Recovery serves.Asana Recovery offers residential and outpatient treatment in Costa Mesa, California.

Too often, people succumb to the physical and mental turmoil of withdrawal and end up leaving treatment to get their fix. MAT helps mitigate this risk. Using carefully-prescribed medications under the guidance of doctors who are knowledgeable about addiction, patients are able to manage their symptoms and cravings while learning to live a sober life.Although using medications to overcome addiction and dependency is controversial in some circles, it can be lifesaving for the people most at risk for relapse.“I see why many people believe that MAT is an easy way, and I would ask them if they learned to ride a bike without training wheels?” Shandrow said.The more time a person spends engaged with a treatment program, the more likely they are to maintain their sobriety.“Placing the individual on a MAT program helps to drop the cravings and acts as a deterrent to opioid use, which generally results in the patient spending more time in the treatment center and reduces their likelihood of leaving treatment to go use drugs,” he explained.Medications can be used at various points in the recovery process. During detox, medications can help manage the violent physical symptoms for people who are getting off of opioids or alcohol. Some people then turn to medications to help them get through treatment, or to stay sober in the long-term.At Asana, the most common medication used to facilitate treatment is Suboxone, which contains the opioid buprenorphine. Although it is an opioid, Suboxone can be safely used to manage opioid use disorder in the long-term, helping people stay away from more harmful illicit opioids. The drug has a doubled-edged approach to encouraging sobriety: people on Suboxone experience less intense cravings for opioids. And if they do use, they don’t get the euphoric high that they’re seeking.“If a patient attempts to get high while on Suboxone, they will not feel any of the ‘high,’” Shandrow said.Because of this, MAT is an especially important tool for people who have been in treatment before but who have relapsed or failed to achieve lasting sobriety.“Sometimes the MAT is the added tool they need to break the cycle,” Shandrow said.Using Suboxone can have other, unintended benefits. Many patients arrive at treatment needing dental work or other physical procedures for which they might be prescribed opioids, increasing their relapse risk. At Asana, providers work to schedule these procedures while the client is on a Suboxone regimen, because the medication is already providing pain relief.Although Suboxone and other medications for treatment can be used long-term, some clients want to be able to transition to an abstinence-based approach to recovery. The staff at Asana work with these individuals to develop a MAT plan that will give them benefits, while also advancing them toward that goal.“On several occasions we have set up a 30- or 60-day MAT program, which allowed the individual to taper off the MAT before moving to an outpatient program,” Shandrow explained. “This soft landing is extremely beneficial for individuals who have repeated attempts at treatment, but prefer not to go onto a long-term MAT program.”Just like counseling and other aspects of sobriety, MAT can be tailored to fit the unique needs of each client that Asana Recovery serves.Asana Recovery offers residential and outpatient treatment in Costa Mesa, California.
