Trick or Treat…or Else

This is unfinished because I felt like I kept screwing up Jason’s characterisation a bit. Gotta work on that.

Jason glanced up at the clock hanging on the wall to his left, it’s was 2:57 on Halloween. His patrol wasn’t due to start for a few more hours, but something tugged at him that cause him to feel like something was going to happen. He wasn’t sure if it was a good or bad feeling just yet. He just knew that whatever is was put him on edge.

“Haven’t you taken enough pictures, Danny?” Tucker laughed through the screen of the computer Danny had set up in a four way call between himself, Sam, Tucker, and Jazz.

“I could never have too many pictures of my little princess!” Danny retorted as he snapped another photo of little Ellie in her Halloween costume.

“Ahem!” Ellie puffed out her chest and put her hands on her hips. The pose made her look even cuter, Danny thought.

“Oh my apologise,” Danny grinned cheekily, “my little badass.” He corrected himself.

Ellie, decked out in her mini Red Hood costume. The child sized leather jacket had been a gift courtesy of Sam, while the mini Red Hood helmet had been designed and built by both Tucker and Danny working together to ensure it would be perfect. They might have gone a little overboard however, since they’d managed to incorporated a real working com unit, an air filtration system in case of a gas attack, night vision, heat vision, and an emergency beacon should Ellie wander off and get lost that only Danny or Tucker could access. Danny had also hand painted two nerf guns for her, and gave her hand painted ‘grenades’ that were just glitter bombs. Ellie had insisted, just in case she was ‘forced’ to choose ‘trick’ from Trick or Treat.

“Danny,” Jazz voice held a fondness to it, “if you keep it up with the picture not only will you no longer have any space on there, you guys will be too late for the trick or treating.”

“Oh no! I don’t wanna miss it,” Ellie ran to Danny and started tugging on the sleeve of his costume, “let’s go!” She looked up at him and though the helmet obstructed Danny being able to see Ellie’s face, he could feel it in his bones that she was giving him those big puppy dog eyes of hers.

After a dramatic show of sighing in defeat, he picked up his daughter and said, “alright my starlight, but let’s say bye to the others first though.”

“Bye Uncle Tuck, Aunty Sam, and Aunt Jazz!” Ellie waved her little gloves hand at the screen from her place in her dad’s arms.

Tucker, Sam and Jazz all waved back and said their goodbyes and wishing her a fun time trick or treating. Danny bid his friends and sister farewell and ended the call.

“C’mon Little Hood, let’s go bug our neighbours for candy,” Danny beamed at Ellie as he put her back down and held out her candy bucket which had been a plastic black pumpkin from a dollar store. He’d hand painted a red bat symbol on the front of it for her, so that it would match her costume more. Ellie held the bucket in one hand, and held her dad’s hand in the other as they exited their apartment.

The clock had ticked over to 3:20pm the next time Jason spared it a glance. The trick or treaters would be put and about now. Most cities started later, but in Gotham there was always the risk of a rouge attack, so many parents would go out earlier, just to make sure they were home to avoid being out when it started to get darker.

Jason stretched his arms above his head and marked his page before putting down the book he’d just been reading. He stood up slowly and made his way over to his front door, checking that he had some Halloween candy at the ready just in case someone knocked on his door before he took off for the night. Jason knew that his building had several families with children under 14, so the likely hood of getting at least one truck or treated was pretty high.

When he was satisfied that he had everything in place he returned to the couch, picked his book back up and waited.

“Trick or treat!” Ellie cheered as the door opened.

The middle aged woman who opened the door let out a small gasp, “oh my,” she said with a smile, “Red Hood, I didn’t know you’d be patrolling our building?” Her tone was teasing as she reached somewhere past the door to grab some candy for Ellie’s pumpkin.

“Of course ma’am!” Ellie happily played along, making her own attempt at a deep ‘man’ voice, “crime could be anywhere!”

“Well I certainly feel safer knowing you’re out there protecting us Red Hood,” the woman laughed, “have a good patrol.” With that she closed the door, and Danny and Ellie Bahn making their way to the next ‘civilian’ as Ellie had started to call their neighbours.

Five groups of kids had come to Jason’s door so far. It was getting later, and he knew he’d need to start getting ready soon. Just as he was weighing the pros and cons of heading out on patrol early another knock sounded from the door to his apartment.

Let me just make a simple statement of fact: Sam Vimes only has to duck his head slightly to stand comfortably in dwarf houses. The man is short.

Ghilasara Codex: Day 2 - Letter from your OC to their love interest

Masterpost of all prompts and Ghilasara codex entries can be found HERE.

[written within the first year after the events of the game]

Love, 

This letter will likely find you already after you are done with your contract. If that’s the case, I would appreciate a prompt reply just to be sure you are alive, well, and hopefully not even sporting any new wounds. 

I took a trip to Weisshaupt with some of the remaining Wardens. There were only a few of us — it was a scouting mission, not a reconquering attempt — but it appears, the Darkspawn have just… left? Well, the fortress itself at least, there is still plenty around. But we wouldn’t have to retake it to live there, just clean off the Blight. Of which there’s still a lot, and there is a ton of rebuilding we’d need to do, so it wouldn’t be a day’s work. But still, Weisshaupt being an option was the last thing I expected.

With the last Blight over, the order is changing, and I don’t know what’s best for us. Should we reclaim Weisshaupt as a part of our history, or leave it behind to forge something new? I’m too attached to all the nights spent hungover at the dungeon to just leave it to rot, but I can’t say how many other Wardens share my sentimentality. 

We are back at Lavendel for now, though, and if there’s something I know for sure, it's that it’s the one place I will never let become our official base. I keep asking Bellara if this place could be under some ancient Elven spell, but she insists it’s just the weather. I still can’t believe it. Creators, it’s so wet here. 

And lonely. I miss you. The only thing that makes your absence bearable is knowing you'd probably ruin another pair of good boots trudging through the swamps, and I'd much rather you did not. I hope that you are safe and warm, and that we’ll see each other soon. 

Please let me know as soon as you are in Vi’Revas’s reach, and I’ll be there. Tell Spite I love him (and never forget that I love you). 

Drenched and tired, but still yours, 

Rook

Alright guys so I printed out a scale copy based on my original size for the quilt and, uh, it was big. Like, this wouldn't fit on a twin-sized bed big. So I've reduced the size a bit to something more manageable! (CD for scale, please ignore the other stuff in the room lol)

The new size will be approximately 52" high by 35"-ish wide.

Since I'm trying to make this as precise as possible I spent the evening struggling with math, lol. If people know any free, Mac-friendly programs I would appreciate it, haha. I made a mockup in Photoshop that I *think* is more exact but we won't know until I start assembling because, have I mentioned this before, I am terrible at math, lol.

I made the mockup in this way because I can use the magic wand tool to get the precise measurements of what each of those pieces are, knowing that I'll need to add a 1/4 inch seam allowance to everything.

Based on my estimates I think I'm going to need the following approximate yardage (assuming the bolt is 40" wide cotton):

1/4 yard maroon for borders

1/4 yard red for borders

1/4 yard blue for squares

1/4 yard gold for squares

1/2 yard blue background

1 yard black for trims and binding

1/2 yard red bird

1/2 yard zebra white

1 yard red orange

1/2 yard magenta

1 yard gold

1/2 yard light yellow

1/2 yard green leaves

1/2 yard bark brown

+ assorted golds, gauzes, etc.

I'm going to a quilt show tomorrow to do some initial color and fabric scouting, wish me luck! I'll be sure to take pics of anything I bring home and keep you all posted. :)

i bought a used wheelchair off ebay and it's supposed to arrive on monday and tbh im so excited !! ik it's gonna take awhile to build up more arm strength but im so much wagging my tail at the idea of being able to do short lil mental health walks with it

Setting a price of $35 for a card that's not even the highest rarity or an alt art version should be a crime I think. U gotta go thru Dante's Inferno or something idk

[nfatcheese]

she-ra tumblr i need your input, about how old do you think micah is when we see him in light spinner and how old do you think he is when we find him on beast island?

i realized that since we see the horde capturing the black garnet in light spinner, micah's age then and now would be a really good way to measure the age of the etherian horde.

Planning and estimating construction projects are crucial to their success. There are many complex processes involved. As part of this process, construction takeoffs are essential. Construction takeoffs are itemized and quantified lists of the materials, labor, and other resources required for construction projects.

Construction takeoffs are essential to project estimation, planning, and success in general. They give a thorough analysis of the necessary labor, materials, and resources, allowing for precise cost estimation and efficient project management. With enhanced accuracy and time savings, the process has been further streamlined with the introduction of digital takeoff tools and BIM-based solutions.

Importance of Construction Takeoffs

Accurate project estimation

Accurate project estimation is built on the foundation of construction takeoffs. Takeoffs give project stakeholders a thorough grasp of the project scope and associated costs by estimating the materials, equipment, and labor required. Realistic timetables and budgets can be created with the use of this information.

Enhanced project planning

A crucial aspect of project planning is takeoffs. Construction teams may create accurate project timetables, manage resources wisely, and spot potential bottlenecks or areas that need extra care with a full assessment of the available resources. This degree of planning ensures that the construction process runs more smoothly and helps to avoid delays and expensive change orders.

Improved communication and collaboration

Communication among project stakeholders is standardized by construction takeoffs. Takeoffs allow for simple and clear communication between architects, contractors, suppliers, and other team members by quantifying and clarifying requirements. This promotes teamwork and increases overall project efficiency by cutting down on ambiguity and errors.

Methods for Construction Takeoffs

Manual takeoffs

Traditional manual takeoffs entail looking at blueprints, plans, and specifications to manually calculate the amount of resources and materials needed. Even though it takes a lot of time and is prone to mistakes, this method is still employed occasionally, especially for smaller projects or when digital versions of certain details are not available.

Digital takeoff software

The building sector has undergone a change since the introduction of digital takeoff software. By eliminating laborious computations and lowering human error, these software solutions allow users to electronically measure quantities directly from digital designs. Software for digital takeoffs streamlines the process by providing features like annotation tools, automatic measurements, and simple cooperation.

Buildings provide staircases to access multiple floors. Despite modern inventions such as lifts and elevators, stairs are a necessity for fires and earthquakes because they are safe. In any building design, a staircase and the steel reinforcement it contains is the essential element. Engineers and architects use several types of staircases in building design.

Buildings might vary in how the design is based on assumptions, such as the length of stairs, the height of the floors, etc. Therefore, before you proceed with any construction project in your home, it is always a good idea to get stairs and buildings designed by an engineer.

Define RCC Dog-legged Staircase

A stairwell of this type lifts the following floors in opposite directions. So, the well does not separate the two flights on the plan. Moreover, landings are arranged similar to how flight directions differ with altitude.

An ascending flight between any two floors usually consists of two ascents with a landing in the middle. In addition to its use as a platform for rest, this type of staircase saves a great deal of space and is popular among the elderly.

Design Types of RCC Dog Legged Staircase

Stairs Spanning Vertically

At the top and bottom of the flights, a beam provides support to the stairs spanning longitudinally.

Also trying to rebuild a following on Blue Sky is just so difficult and so discouraging. OBVIOUSLY I will keep trying (plus I'm in my feelings right now, and I know if I post more diverse art work I will draw in more people, my Twitter and Tumblr accounts were made on WoW and Pokemon, NOT BNHA).
