DISENCHANTMENT 4.02 - The Good, The Bad, and the Bum-Bum

[tootditoot]

Their office reeked of sulfur and salt. Under the floorboards, I could hear dozens of tiny legs skittering about intermittently. Dried leaves and dead twigs were scattered under the furniture, ink stains covered the book that laid on the table, and I imagine that the scented candles that had been left burning were some futile attempt to make the room feel more pleasant.

"You must forgive me, Inspector, had I known you were coming sooner, I would've..." She looked around, her eyes landed on the dried leaves on the floor and then back to me "...prepared tea".

She led me to the center of the room as she sat at the side of her desk at the other end. Beetles and cockroaches started to pop up from under the floorboards at this point. She paid no heed to them. I could've sworn those pests were forming a perimeter around her and were ready to swarm me by the snap of a finger.

"I don't suppose you came here to ask for my expertise". A scan around the room revealed walls lined with bookshelves, filled with monographs on insects, fishes, and mythical creatures. There were even a few books with her name on, Salome Barko, listed as the author.

"For the yearly census. Have you recently travelled outside the city within the past month?"

"Oh yes, recently I had just returned from my trip in the desert city of..."

Listening to her recount her travels, I started to realize what I was surrounded by. These insects infesting the place weren’t normal.

"...then a small bite killed the camel I had in no less than a minute!"

These insects are not from here. A cockroach suddenly flew and landed on my arm, I saw its mandibles slowly widening. Instinctively, I frantically shook my arm and slapped it, knocking it to the ground. I then heard hundreds of wings furiously buzzing from under the floorboards so I ran. I tripped over a dead twig in my haste, hitting the ground with a hard thud. As I scrambled to my feet, I glanced back. She was still sitting at her desk, looking at me with a blank stare.

Only after the door slammed shut behind me was I was finally able to breathe. I paused to fill my lungs with fresh air, then pulled out a checklist from inside my coat and crossed off a name.

I will be writing my resignation letter next month...

New File Time | Barko Polo (Pup Hypnosis)

Funnily enough, this will only be my second-ever pup file... and the first I've written.

Barko Polo is going to be an interesting time for you pups, I think you'll like it a lot. It's exactly what it sounds like - a doggy version of the human game Marco Polo, a call-and-response. Except instead of just responding to one sound, Barko Polo trains a good puppy to respond any time they hear barking (whether it be in the real world or on a video, whether it's a real dog or a human pup) by barking back! You can of course bark back out loud or in your head... it'll always be safe for you to indulge the game, and you won't get in trouble by dropping on all fours and barking like the helpless, needy animal you are.

Buuut you can rest assured that being helpless to not bark back when you hear barking from now on will ensure quick hits of pupspace throughout the day. Because Barko Polo is a game that never has to end, the fun can go on forever!

So be a good dog and LISTEN, won't you?

(Big shoutout and thank you to fellow filemakers Ashdoge and Sunny Pup for their vocal stylings on this track, go check them out if you're into pup content.)

CONTENT WARNINGS:

Permanent trigger installation - beyond the aforementioned installation of "bark back when you hear barking OR the commands speak/bark" trigger, there is also light trigger work with several puppy pet names: "puppy", "pup", "pet", "dog", "doggy", etc. Mild trigger work for finger-snaps to induce arousal/slight fog/amnesia.

Slightly degrading language - "dumb little doggy" etc. All from a place of love, of course!

Actual dog barks - they're not overpowering, but if you're afraid of dogs, do be aware.

"For Gods' name!" - one of my favorite Greek books, which involves Greek mythology in the most Greek and hilarious way!

Vote for it here for the Public Awards 2024! 🔔

In 2020 AD, Kostas Barkos, a private investigator, receives a visit from a seductive woman to find a missing person. In 1250 BC, Odysseus begins his journey back to Ithaca with something hidden in his tunic. In 855 AD, the future Pope Joanna and Frumentius come for a holiday in the Greek islands. A mystery that unfolds on TWO (2) continents (let's be realistic, it takes place in three countries, since this story is a cheap production and there is no money for lots of travel) and in the span of 3,300 years (time is free). In a Greece where the gods of Olympus still have power, but no sense of humor, Kostas Barkos will take it upon himself to keep the balance of the world while finding a way to fill his fridge with beers, as a new Titanomachy is about to break - and it's already very hot. A police comedy of divine proportions that does not promise to reveal to you the meaning of life, since that is obvious and we all know it (right?), but to make you reconsider it.

==================================

To 2020 µ.Χ., o Κώστας Μπάρκος, ιδιωτικός ερευνητής, δέχεται επίσκεψη από µια σαγηνευτική γυναίκα για να βρει έναν εξαφανισµένο. Το 1250 π.Χ., ο Οδυσσέας ξεκινάει το ταξίδι της επιστροφής του στην Ιθάκη µε κάτι κρυµµένο στον χιτώνα του. Το 855 µ.Χ., η µέλλουσα Πάπισσα Ιωάννα και ο Φρουµέντιος έρχονται για διακοπές στα ελληνικά νησιά. Ένα µυστήριο που ξετυλίγεται σε ΔΥΟ (2) ηπείρους (ας είµαστε ρεαλιστές, διαδραµατίζεται σε τρεις χώρες, καθώς αυτό το διήγηµα είναι φτηνή παραγωγή και δεν υπάρχουν λεφτά για πολλά ταξίδια) και σε χρονικό βάθος 3.300 χρόνων περίπου (ο χρόνος είναι δωρεάν).

Σε µια Ελλάδα όπου οι θεοί του Ολύµπου έχουν ακόµη δύναµη, αλλά καθόλου χιούµορ, ο Κώστας Μπάρκος θα αναλάβει να διατηρήσει την ισορροπία του κόσµου και ταυτόχρονα να βρει τρόπο να γεµίσει το ψυγείο του µε µπίρες, καθώς µια νέα Τιτανοµαχία είναι προ των πυλών και κάνει ήδη πολλή ζέστη.

Μια αστυνοµική κωµωδία θεϊκών διαστάσεων που δεν υπόσχεται να σας φανερώσει το νόηµα της ζωής, αφού αυτό είναι προφανές και το ξέρουµε όλοι (έτσι δεν είναι;), αλλά να σας κάνει να το αναθεωρήσετε.

encounter posting again.

Life has been really tough lately and idk if i can put it into words. Maraming ganap end ng month of July to mids of August and still trying on how I can share it to my tumblr blog. This kinda a long post and gusto ko balikan itong post one day na masaya, matatag, at lumalaban parin sa buhay.

My heart is full right now as I was able to spend time with the love of my life and his family. Nag church kami kasama parents nya this Sunday lang at di ko talaga napigilang umiyak nung inannounce na yung sa prayer intentions ba yun sa catholic mass. Pinalagay kasi ng mama nya kanina yung name ng mama ko and I was really emotional dahil naaalala ko na naman si nanay. It's been 3 weeks since my mom died and although I'm already coping, di parin talaga maiwasan.

Solid lang din talaga yung support ni bf at mama nya nung mga panahon na yun lalo na emotionally. Sinamahan nya ako magbantay kay nanay since hanggang Thursday lang pasok nya sa work. Yun yung time na nagkaroon ako ng tulog nung nandun na sya at the same time nakakakain na rin dahil walang gana kumain at walang tulog talaga. I'm really thankful din sa mga taong andyan talaga para sakin sa mga panahong akala ko hindi ko kakayanin.

From Cavite - Negros Occidental, naiuwi namin nanay ko dahil andun din talaga halos relatives namin sa side ng nanay ko at para makita na din ng mga kapatid ko for the last time. That was a really tough decision dahil sobrang daming bagay na need iconsider. We're not capable financially dahil ang laki ng gastos kung iuuwi si nanay through airplane man or barko tapos yung per night pa ni nanay sa punerarya.

We're almost in the conclusion of cremation at least yung ashes maiiuwi parin naman sa probinsya. But God is really good na maraming taong tumulong through prayers and financially dahil hanggang ngayon hindi ko maimagine paano namin nalikom yung ganung halaga bigla. Although may nautang din ako but without the help of others, di talaga kakayanin.

Yung bigat ng pakiramdam ko nung mga time na yun sobra sobra talaga. Andito ako sa Pampanga at si nanay naman nasa Cavite. Ako na walang kaalam alam paano mag commute pa Manila or papuntang Cavite pero with God's grace, talagang nagawa ko. Sasakay ng bus na iyak ng iyak, uuwi ng apartment sa Pampanga para umiyak din, babalik na naman ng Cavite another session na naman ng iyak lalo na kapag nakaka receive ako ng mga messages encouraging me to stay strong.

Laging sinasabi ng mama ni bf na for sure happy na rin si nanay sa mga ginawa ko. Malungkot man na for the last time sa mahabang panahon, na ngayon ko lang napakita kung gaano ko sya ka-mahal. My mother was also my best friend, napapagsabihan ko most of my ganap sa buhay dati. Pero may mga bagay na nagkakaconflict kami which leads us na di mag usap for 2 years.

Isinasantabi ko na lahat ng galit ko o tampo sa kanya. Since ako lang yung immediate family nya na andito sa city, halos sakin talaga lahat nakasalalay at bilang panganay na rin. And for the last time, kinausap ko sya and told her na di na ako galit at kahit anong mangyari naman nanay ko parin sya at mahal ko. I also asked for forgiveness because I wasn't a perfect daughter for her and made a decision not to talk to her for a long time. She knows na din naman siguro that I was also in pain sa mga naging desisyon nya that time. Pero nirerespeto ko na din naman yung naging desisyon nya dati kahit na ikakabroken family namin.

Kahit papaano happy na rin naman ako na nakita ko yung tatay ko na alam kong mahal na mahal nya parin si nanay. Although nung unang nalaman nya na wala na si nanay ay sobrang wala syang pake at puro galit or hatred naririnig from him. Pero later on, who would have thought na mag aabot din sya ng malaking halaga ng pera para pandagdag at pumayag din na sa bahay nya iburol si nanay na nung umpisa ayaw na ayaw nya talaga. Sinabihan ko rin naman sya na kahit sa huling pagkakataon nalang, at alam kong pinagsasabihan rin si tatay ng mga kapatid nya na tanggapin, at magpatawad. Nung kadating ng remains ni nanay sa Negros, umiiyak sya at nung mass din, iyak ng iyak din si tatay.

She died due to heart attack at sobrang nakakabigla dahil ang lakas nya lang tingnan, at ang bata pa ng nanay ko. Dahil nga dead on arrival ang nanay, inexplain naman ni Doc nung pina autopsy namin kung bakit nangyari.

And now, I'm already coping and to move forward para na din sa mga kapatid ko. Mahirap pala talaga maging panganay but at the same time, this is such an honor.
